Chapter 222.
“This is considered a fall from grace?”
Jiang Ran scratched his cheeks and shook his head:
“As far as not ah ……”
Yan Huishou insisted on fleeing, and Jiang Ran had no intention of chasing after her, so he looked around at his surroundings.
The location here was on the low side, looking at the appearance, it should be a kind of canyon at the back of Ziyue Mountain.
The environment was secluded and quiet, and the small waterfall was right in front of him, flowing with water.
From the outside, it was impossible to tell that there was a hole in the mountain.
“It’s a good camouflage …… If in this place, building a summer resort, it seems to be a superior choice.”
Such a thought suddenly flooded Jiang Ran’s mind.
Then he felt that he had probably drifted.
He had only relied on arresting and killing people to earn a few taels of silver, and then he started to learn from Yan Wushuang’s extravagance and build houses everywhere.
Shaking his head and throwing this unrealistic thought out of his mind, he lifted Guan Jinqiu and flew up.
Taking the stars and buckets in the sky as the basis, after distinguishing the direction, he rushed towards the direction of Purple Moon Villa.
After tossing and turning for half the night, it was almost dawn today.
When Jiang Ran saw the Purple Moon Villa, it was already calm.
Only from time to time can see smoke flying up, should be the result after a mess last night.
When Jiang Ran arrived at the place, he didn’t enter through the main entrance.
Instead, he carefully avoided the ears and eyes and came directly to the small courtyard where he lived.
Just as soon as he showed up, he felt a stream of sight notice him.
Needless to ask, it was naturally Li Tianyu.
This person’s eyes were so powerful.
Eight hundred meters away a mosquito, he can distinguish whether it is a male or a female …… Of course, this is what he usually brags about, there is no way to distinguish between true and false.
By the time he waited for Jiang Ran to arrive at the courtyard, Li Tianyu had already arrived in front of Jiang Ran:
“Big brother, where did you go last night?”
Taking a smooth look downward, he looked at Guan Jinqiu:
“This is?”
“This is not the place to talk, where is Li Tianxin?”
Jiang Ran asked.
“Called away by Steward Meng.”
Li Tianxin said:
“Last night someone attacked Purple Moon Villa at night and killed Steward Meng Huan Meng.
“Steward Meng said that you were in the courtyard at the time, but when they rushed in, you were nowhere to be found.
“After hearing that, Big Brother followed them to look for you.
“Only Jingtan Jushi and I were left to guard this place ……”
Li Tianyu briefly and succinctly recounted what happened.
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows:
“Meng Huan died?”
“En.”
Li Tianyu nodded: “I heard that it’s dead……. They said that the reason why the Remnant Sun Sect attacked Purple Moon Villa at night last night was to kill Meng Huan. Don’t want the jianghu forces of the East County Province to become one ……”
Jiang Ran mused slightly:
“Where is Jingtan Jushi?”
“In the ancient warrior’s room, he was on guard all night last night, and after all, he is old …… just rested.”
“Good.”
Jiang Ran said, “You go find the people from the Purple Moon Villa and ask them to call Li Tianxin back, just say that I’m fine. After you’re done with this, you go rest too, you’re tired for the night.”
“I’m fine.”
Li Tian Yu patted his chest and said, “I’m young and strong, my inner strength is deep ……”
“Why don’t I come and shoot for you?”
Jiang Ran looked at the place he had just patted.
“…… That’s not necessary.”
Li Tianyu immediately shook his head, “Then I’ll go do something.”
After saying that, he hurriedly walked past Jiang Ran and went outside to look for the people from Purple Moon Villa.
Just after taking two steps, he heard Jiang Ran say from behind:
“Right.”
“What else does big brother command?”
Li Tianyu hurriedly asked.
Jiang Ran lifted the man in his hand, “Don’t say this.”
“Good.”
Although Li Tianyu was uncertain, he still nodded.
After Jiang Ran withdrew his gaze, he went directly to Gu Xi Zhi’s room.
Opening the door and entering, Jingtan Gushi woke up with a start.
After seeing Jiang Ran, he was relieved:
“It’s good that you’re fine, where did you go last night?”
“It’s hard to explain.”
Jiang Ran said while putting down Guan Jinqiu in his hand.
Jingtan Jushi lifted his eyes to take a look, and his brows furrowed slightly:
“This is ……”
On top of the bed, originally seeing Jiang Ran come in he was faking sleep Gu Xi Zhi, sniffing, he swept a glance towards Guan Jinqiu’s body in passing.
The reason he was faking sleep was not that he didn’t want to see Jiang Ran.
It was just that every meeting was awkward.
The two people had different ideas about chivalry, and often had conflicts because of it, which was the same as Tang Painting Yi’s opinion of him.
But Tang Painting Yi is caught up in Li Tianxin’s persona, and he is always arguing verbally.
But Jiang Ran is different …… he can speak, every time to the ancient Xi Zhi said speechless, and even feel that what Jiang Ran said may not be unreasonable.
In order to not let what he insisted on in his heart shake.
He then turned a blind eye …… to Jiang Ran as much as possible Otherwise, he was afraid that he would really be brainwashed by Jiang Ran.
At this moment, when he heard that there were still guests, Fang glanced at them.
However, after this glance, his body was violently shaken, and he didn’t know where the huge power emerged from, making him flip down from the bed in a flash.
His tendons and bones were damaged, and it would take months of recuperation before he could get out of bed.
Since this fall, he couldn’t help but grimace, and Jing Tan Jushi was even more startled:
“What’s wrong with you? Butt let snake bite?”
Gu Xi Zhi, however, did not pay attention to Jing Tan Jushi, but worked hard to climb in the direction of Guan Jinqiu, muttering under his breath:
“Autumn child …… Autumn child …… is that you?
“You …… how did you become, become like this ……”
“You crazy?”
Jingtan Jushi a brain official: “Who do you say she is?”
Jiang Ran all felt as if he was listening to a myth:
“How are you sure, she is Guan Jinqiu’s?”
“I don’t know …… but I know that she is Qiu’er.”
Gu Xi Zhi looked up at Jiang Ran, a moment of old tears: “She is Qiu’er right?”
Jingtan Jushi looked at his words, even if he had how dissatisfied he was again in his usual life, even if he had just seen Mrs. Meng in Yue Shan Hall yesterday, at this time, he could not help but subconsciously look at Jiang Ran.
Want to find an answer.
Jiang Ran sighed softly.
This is not something he originally intended to say now, after all, Guan Jinqiu has become this appearance, even the mother may not be able to recognize when she sees it.
Who would have thought that Gu Xi Zhi would recognize her directly without any reason?
As things stood, he could only sigh:
“Although I don’t know how Senior Gu knew, but you’re right, she is Guan Jinqiu.”
As soon as these words were uttered, Jingtan Jushi’s face went white.
Gu Xi Zhi, on the other hand, was filled with mourning, no longer able to care about anything else, and endeavored to crawl over to Guan Jin Qiu’s front, pulling over the only hand she had left, with large tears falling onto the back of her hand:
“How …… how can it be so …… how can it be so ah? Where is the arm …… arm?
“Who is it, who has caused you to be like this?
“Elder brother will surely kill him by a thousand cuts and bruise his bones!!!”
Even by Jiang Ran point acupuncture point also moved to gnash his teeth, hated can not bite off a piece of meat from Jiang Ran’s body of Guan Jinqiu, at this time, facing this pulling their hands of the old man, but suddenly no temper.
Just fixedly looked at him.
Suddenly, she moved the hand that was embedded in one place with the sword blade, but just lifted it up, but then dropped it again.
Then she pulled out the hand that Gu Xi Zhi had grabbed, and somewhat busily went to wipe Gu Xi Zhi’s tears.
In the throat issued a vague sound, no one can understand, what exactly she is saying.
Only in the middle is full of sadness.
Jing Tan Jushi only came to his senses at this point, he shook his head fiercely and looked towards Jiang Ran:
“What the hell is going on here?
“Jiang young warrior …… where did you find …… find her?
“And how did she come to look like this?
“If she is …… is …… that Mrs. Meng in the hall yesterday, which one is she?”
“You guys listen to me slowly.”
Jiang Ran reached out and closed the door to his room, poured himself a cup of tea, and then said as much as he could about what he had experienced after stepping foot in Meng Huan’s room last night, as well as what he had seen Guan Jinqiu leave in writing under that trap.
Of course, some of the contents were vague.
After all, not everything could be taken out and said outwardly.
After a few words, Gu Xi Zhi had already closed his eyes, and all around his body, the sword qi was contained but not released, but it was on the verge of erupting.
Jingtan Jushi, on the other hand, looked at Jiang Ran:
“Since you brought her back and came directly to us.
“I think there is already a plan in your mind ……”
“Precisely.”
Jiang Ran said:
“This play of Heavenly Que is not yet finished, and I’m still waiting for their follow-up.
“It’s just that Guan Jinqiu can’t be seen, at least not between now and then.
“Placed elsewhere, I can’t take care of it, so I can only bring her to you guys …… thought that placing her by your side shouldn’t be too much of a problem ……”
Jingtan Jushi was about to nod, but suddenly felt the sky spinning.
Gu Xi Zhi was also forcing himself.
Jiang Ran then remembered that Guan Jinqiu was covered in poison.
If there was no proper method, bystanders simply couldn’t get close.
Immediately, he had no choice but to take out the antidote pills from his bosom and give them each a pill to share, then said:
“Nowadays it is an extraordinary time, and you guys don’t need to take care of her much during the weekdays.
“In my opinion, just find a large chest and hide it in it.
“When you need to eat, you guys open it and let her eat is ……”
“No!”
Gu Xi Zhi immediately shook his head, “Autumn child has been pampered since she was a child, how can she be treated like this? She …… she …… she can’t stand it.”
Jingtan Jushi sniffed and glanced at Guan Jinqiu, his eyes also reddened:
“In the past years she has always been extremely concerned about her makeup ……
“Who would have thought that there would be such a day.”
Gu Xi Zhi at this time then said:
“How to take care of her, own I will decide. There’s no need for Young Warrior Jiang …… to take more trouble.
“You don’t treat her as a burden this time, and saved her from the trap.
“Gu Xi Zhi is sufficiently grateful for the great favor!
“Although you and I don’t share the same philosophy and have conflicts from time to time, but this is only one thing, in the future, if there is a need for old me, even if it is a mountain of daggers and fire, old me will be obliged to do so.”
Jingtan Jushi was also slightly contemplative:
“Young warrior Jiang don’t worry, this matter has us to deal with, you can rest assured.”
Jiang Ran sighed lightly:
“It’s good that the two of you know what’s in your heart, now that the curtain hasn’t been lifted yet, hold back for a while.”
“I will heed that.”
Gu Xi Zhi immediately nodded.
Jiang Ran finally couldn’t help but roll his eyes:
“You heed a fart …… you yourself have to be taken care of, and the last to serve you two, isn’t it still Jingtan Jushi?”
Gu Xi Zhi: “……”
Then he thought for a moment and said:
“That’s his honor, back then if it wasn’t for him insisting on robbing my senior sister from me, why would my senior sister marry into such a desperate and dangerous place as the Purple Moon Villa, so much so that she would end up like this.
“Now that he is allowed to serve him at his bedside, he can already be thankful.”
Jingtan Jushi’s face sank:
“What do you mean by serving you two? I only serve Autumn Child!”
“Autumn Child is also what you call her?”
Gu Xi Zhi was angry again.
Jiang Ran gently knocked on the table:
“If you guys are planning to make this matter known now, then I’ll go out and kill people.”
“……”
Gu Xi Zhi and Jing Tan Jushi each shut up immediately.
They actually didn’t mind Jiang Ran going out and killing people.
However, setting up a stage to sing a play, the people from Heavenly Que had even killed Meng Huan in order to put on this play.
If we don’t let the people finish singing, the ones that should come …… then it would be a pity?
Since there was a chance, naturally, they had to find a way to hit them hard.
Instead of killing one or two people and forgetting about it.
Jiang Ran then talked to Jing Tan Jushi and the others for a few more sentences before leaving.
After his lobbying, coupled with the fact that Guan Jinqiu really wasn’t in a situation where she couldn’t stand it, the two of them really did keep her in a box on weekdays.
Guan Jinqiu also didn’t know if she was still somewhat sane.
When facing others, she was full of aggression.
But when facing Gu Xi Zhi there was no ……
Associated with the contents of that wall, full of senior brothers, only one or two sentences mentioned Jingtan Jushi.
The answers to some things would already be obvious.
But now, these answers to say how important, it seems that it may not be.
……
……
Coming out of the room, there were footsteps in front of the courtyard door.
Meng Xiu and Tang Wuyi came together.
After Meng Xiu saw Jiang Ran, he was greatly relieved, but the next moment, his eyes were red and he suddenly stepped forward and knelt on one knee:
“Great warrior Jiang! Purple Moon Villa has been established for many years, although I am only a house slave, I still consider myself to be in the jianghu.
“Now the master of the village is in trouble, I implore you to save my Purple Moon Villa on account of the Jianghu lineage!!!”
Jiang Ran reached out to help him up:
“Steward Meng doesn’t need to say much, last night I was caught in a trap and fell into a trap, and I was ashamed to have failed to save Lord Meng’s manor.
“Heaven is fortunate that the Purple Moon Villa is still …… now if it is useful, naturally it is obliged.”
“Many thanks Jiang warrior!!!”
Meng Xiu was about to salute again.
Jiang Ran stopped it:
“How was the injury last night?”
“Ai ……”
Meng Xiu sighed, which only showed that Purple Moon Villa was not badly hurt.
The Remnant Sun Sect’s people were treacherous and skillful in martial arts, and the ordinary Villa disciples were no match at all.
Fortunately, there were many people on this side, and there were the Dugu family, the Lin family, and the group of Jianghu people outside who wanted to come in, but were not allowed to enter.
Only then did they barely manage to keep Purple Moon Villa.
“But now, the owner is dead, I Purple Moon Villa has no one who can pick up the big beam.
“Dugu family’s old man, Lin family’s third miss, have sent letters, summoned the East County masters to come to the Purple Moon Villa to discuss.
“It’s just that the group of dragons without a leader …… will have to rely on Jiang Warrior when the time comes.”
Jiang Ran said after a moment of contemplation:
“Jiang Mou is young and shallow, I don’t dare to take on a big responsibility, but still, if there is a need, I will naturally be obliged.
“Now Meng steward will put down the heart, go to do should do is, I a moment and a half, will not leave the Purple Moon Villa …….”
The words just said here, heard a burst of footsteps came.
Several small boys panting came to the front:
“Steward, steward bad.”
“Another …… death?”
Meng Xiu twisted his head to look at it, his face full of gravity.
“No, it’s not, it’s not …… that there’s an official messenger at the door!!!”
“Officials?”
Meng Xiu froze, “What are the officials doing here?”
“Since the Remnant Sun Sect has appeared, it’s not unusual for official officials to come over …… After all, the Remnant Sun Sect isn’t just an enemy of the Jianghu.”
Jiang Ran asked:
“Do you know who the visitor is?”
“It’s Tian Xiwen, the Chief Constable of the East County Prefecture!”
At these words, Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi exchanged glances.
Meng Xiu, on the other hand, frowned:
“It’s him?”
“Steward Meng knows this person?”
“Tian Xiwen comes from the Jianghu, and is from the Wenshan Yard’s arrest house among the seven factions.
“But this person is fine, the key lies in that sister of his ……”
Meng Xiu said with an expression full of headache:
“This sister of his, eccentric character, on the other hand, has great strength and extremely high martial arts.
“Two board axe sweep, unusual experts are not its one-trick pony.
“And mixed up …… recklessness is incomparable, wherever you go, it is all trouble.”
“Tian Miao Miao?”
Jiang Ran remembered this name that didn’t match at all with her character and that strange power.
It was simply a ginseng wood, where did the Miao Miao come from?
“Swordsman Jiang also knows about it?”
Meng Xiu froze.
“There has been a meeting, and since it’s an old acquaintance, Steward Meng, let’s go and meet together.”
“Good.”
Meng Xiu immediately extended his arm as a guide.
Jiang Ran then walked in front, with Tang Yuyi following at his side.
The two rooters glanced at each other, and Jiang Ran nodded gently to her.
Tang Yingyi then also let out a slight sigh of relief, only that she didn’t know where she had thought of, so she glared fiercely at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran was momentarily baffled.
Walking out from the inner courtyard, she soon arrived at Yue Shan Tang.
Without waiting to enter, he saw a group of young men and women dressed in constable’s clothing on both sides, eyeing everything around them intently.
When he stepped into Yue Shan Hall, he saw that the swords were drawn inside the hall.
A slim, graceful, good-looking girl, is a hand will be a little fat man up, carrying in mid-air, just like dumping sacks like dumping.
While dumping, that little fat body also dropped equipment.
Either drop a trigger finger, or drop a jade pendant.
A moment of tinkling, broken non-stop.
The little fat man to shake the dizziness, the corner of the mouth downstream drool, mouth also can’t help shouting:
“Don’t don’t …… that one is expensive, oops, that one is more expensive …….”
Estimated that shaking for a while, this noble gentleman will have to become a poor gentleman.
And the hall at this time in addition to the momentum to persuade the fight, in fact, all the sincerity of Tian Xiwen, others are sitting and drinking tea, the surrounding situation seems to be blind.
Hearing the footsteps of Meng Xiu and Jiang Ran.
Only then did Tian Miaomiao turn her head to look out curiously, only to see Jiang Ran at a glance, and was instantly overjoyed:
“It’s you!!!”
Jiang Ran nodded: “Yes, it’s me.”
“Great, you and I will fight another 300 rounds!!!”
Without saying a word, Tian Miaomiao carried the still-unknown Noble Duke and rushed towards Jiang Ran.
After waiting for her to swing the noble gentleman around twice, the noble gentleman then reacted and couldn’t help but shout with eyes full of tears:
“Help!!!”
