Chapter 241.

Ke Beisheng was following Jiang Ran and the others out.

But in the middle of the day, the person was nowhere to be found.

This was actually one of Jiang Ran’s tricks.

This place is Guzhang County, Guzhang County is a relatively special place, located in the remote, sparsely populated, outsiders can easily distinguish.

Jiang Ran with Li Tianyu to go to explore the road, in fact, is a grass to frighten the snake, throwing stones to ask for directions.

The person who attacked Chongshan Sect, no matter who it is, they must have ears and eyes in this Guzhang County.

A stranger suddenly appeared and probed Chongshan Sect.

Regardless of whether or not he was a thief, it would always cause them to pay attention, thus checking out where this group of people were coming from.

When Li Tianyu came back earlier, he brought a tail with him.

It was just that this tail was a little bit not very good.

Li Tianyu returned to the inn and discovered this person, not to mention that even Tang Yuyi and Ye Jingxue who were in the room also discovered it.

Jiang Ran suddenly changed his mind and went to find Dong Qingcheng with Li Tianyu earlier, just to prevent Li Tianyu from calling out this person’s hideout.

Afterwards, Jiang Ran asked Ke Beisheng to secretly follow this person to see if he could find clues.

Now after Ke Beisheng showed up, he knelt on one knee:

“Your Excellency, old slave is incompetent.”

“Lost him?”

Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ke Beisheng.

Ke Beisheng’s heart tightened, he had followed Jiang Ran for the past half a month, and there were no errands for him to do on weekdays.

This first time arranging things, he ended up messing it up.

For a moment his heart could not help but feel a bit flustered.

Just about to open his mouth, Jiang Ran said:

“Get up and answer back, let’s walk and talk.”

“Yes.”

Ke Beisheng agreed and stood up, following Jiang Ran’s side, saying as he walked:

“Earlier, I followed behind that person as per Your Excellency’s instructions,” he said.

“It started off quite smoothly, and after this person saw you, Your Excellency, enter the Wang Mansion, he turned around and left.

“I followed him all the way out of the city, and when I reached the ten-mile slope outside the city, a man in black suddenly showed up and discovered the old slave.

“The old slave and its against a palm, his internal strength, although less than me, but his internal force cold, so that my meridians are blocked for a moment, it is between this meal, that person with the previous mouse in the twinkling of an eye will not know where to go.

“I want to go after it again, but I can’t find it anymore.

“The old slave is not doing a good job, but also please sir chastise.”

“Oh ……”

Jiang Ran was thoughtful:

“Although his internal strength is not as good as yours, the gap is only small.

“Otherwise, how would he be able to tell you to block your meridians with a single slap?”

Ke Beisheng slightly bowed his head, the face under the mask was somewhat ashamed.

Then he heard Jiang Ran laugh:

“The chastisement will be spared, go back to the inn.”

Dong Qingcheng said:

“But in this way, won’t the clues be broken? The Wang family shouldn’t be simple either, and their young son, who is clearly skilled in martial arts, has the appearance of being weak and frail ……

“Between each other, perhaps there is some connection in.”

“This is still in two minds.”

Jiang Ran said:

“Brother Dong first rest easy, things may not be the end by now.

“Let’s go back to the inn to find someone.”

“Find what person?”

Dong Qingcheng asked.

Jiang Ran, however, smiled but did not answer.

……

……

As the sky rubbed dark, Jiang Ran led Dong Qingcheng and the others out of the county town of Gu Zhang County.

Ke Beisheng led the way without looking away.

Dong Qingcheng, however, always couldn’t help but look at Tian Miaomiao and finally asked Jiang Ran:

“The person Jiang Warrior is looking for, is this Miss Tian?”

“You must not underestimate this girl.”

Jiang Ran laughed: “She has some skills on her.”

Tian Miaomiao’s eyes lit up when she heard Jiang Ran praise her, and she patted her chest and said:

“That’s right, I have a lot of skills, otherwise, would I be able to be your son’s common maid?”

“Ah?”

Dong Qingcheng was taken aback and looked at Jiang Ran:

“So that’s how it is ……”

“Don’t be so original!”

Jiang Ran quickly stopped:

“It’s just a little maid that I won back from a gambling fight. Uneducated, hearing a word and using it indiscriminately.”

Dong Qingcheng seemed to understand, but it didn’t matter if he did or didn’t, he only needed to nod his head at this time.

“She was born with divine power and is also proficient in the art of tracking.”

Jiang Ran continued:

“In order to avoid Ke Beisheng, they definitely did not have time to deal with the traces in a moment.

“After it was shaken off, there would be no reason to deal with it.

“It is just right to let her corroborate what she has learned and see if she can make a difference.”

“Don’t worry, Your Excellency, just leave it to me though.”

Tian Miao Miao’s face was filled with confidence.

It was just that Jiang Ran looked at her confidence, and for a moment was a little less confident.

However, since the matter had come to this, he could only trust her.

Ten Mile Slope is naturally ten miles away from the county town.

Not far from the Ten Mile Pavilion, Ke Beisheng said to Jiang Ran:

“The old slave fought with that person here at that time.”

Jiang Ran nodded and looked at Tian Miaomiao.

Tian Miaomiao didn’t say anything and honestly began to observe the surroundings.

Jiang Ran saw that she was serious, so he couldn’t help but ask:

“It’s possible to see the traces?”

“Can.”

Tian Miaomiao didn’t raise her head, picking her way between the grasses to search:

“There are tracks here, from three separate people.

“This place is not the main road, but there are tracks, so it is clear that this old thing is not lying.

“There is a footprint intermittent, look at the direction of the toe and heel, it should be from this side ……”

Saying this, she went in the direction of where the heel was, and soon made a discovery a few feet away:

“That person originally hid here …… And it seems that the way, it seems to come from over there.”

She reached out and pointed, but pointed in the direction of the Ten Mile Pavilion.

Jiang Ran listened to her keep ‘that way over there’, and began to seriously doubt that this child couldn’t tell south east from north west.

However, if the visitor came from this side of the Ten Mile Pavilion, then perhaps it was because this person was originally at the Ten Mile Pavilion, and realized that the ‘rat’ was being tracked, and only then did he show up to save him.

Subsequently, Tian Miao Miao returned to where the encounter took place.

Carefully distinguish the footprints, but also let Ke Beisheng lifted his feet to give her a look.

Ke Beisheng was quite dissatisfied with the three words ‘old thing’ in her mouth, but he didn’t dare to disobey Jiang Ran, so he could only lift his foot with hatred.

Tian Miaomiao took a look and said to Jiang Ran:

“The old thing didn’t lie, he did chase him out of the city, and when he arrived here, the man suddenly appeared.

“But he bragged …… when he fought with the other party, he clearly retreated a step, but he said that the other party’s internal strength was below him.

“Tsk, old face don t want.”

Ke Beisheng’s old face under the mask was really red, and he couldn’t help but distinguish:

“His inner strength is indeed below me, I was just caught off guard.”

“Alright, alright, don’t explain.”

Tian Miaomiao hugged her arms and said:

“At that time, when this old thing chased me here, that ‘rat’ was a few feet away in front of me, following a little too close.

“My brother said that in the business of tracking, you can’t follow too close or too far.

“People who practice martial arts have sharp senses, and if they get too close, they can easily be detected.

“This old thing is mostly not very good at tracking …… If it is me, they will definitely not be able to find out.

“But my light power is not too good, although I am good at tracking, but I can’t catch up, haha.”

At the end of the sentence, I don’t know who she was laughing at there.

Ke Beisheng was even more aggrieved, he was indeed not good at tracking, but he was good at being chased ah.

The corner of Jiang Ran’s mouth hooked:

“And then?”

“En, after that person and the old thing exchanged palms, he caught up with that ‘rat’ and ran two steps, and then performed lightness and flew up. For the next section, there shouldn’t even be any footprints.

“This person’s lightness is quite skillful, but a wild goose leaves a shadow, if you want to trace it, you can still trace it, it’s just quite troublesome.”

Tian Miaomiao said here and looked at Jiang Ran:

“Your Excellency.”

“You say.”

“Can you keep quiet for a while? And don’t ask me questions, my brain isn’t very good, when I specialize in one thing, I’m easily distracted when I talk.”

Tian Miao Miao looked at Jiang Ran with more or less complaining eyes.

Jiang Ran immediately stopped talking, stating that he wouldn’t say a word afterward.

Tian Miaomiao nodded in satisfaction, and then led Jiang Ran’s group forward to find them.

Although Jiang Ran didn’t talk to her, this girl’s mouth was actually not idle.

As she walked, she said to Jiang Ran and the others:

“There’s a grass here that’s been crushed, it seems that the light skill is still not good enough. The internal force has injured the leaves …… the average person can’t see it, but it can’t fool my eyes.”

“Here here! His light power has reached the time when he changes his breath, his feet are inevitably less light and heavy, and the footprints here are three times deeper than normal, en, with this footprint, basically you can catch his traces.”

“Good fellow, he didn’t even cover up when he arrived here, but that’s right, this place must be at least five or six miles away from the Ten Mile Pavilion. Logically speaking, the old thing would have been unable to find them by now, so naturally there’s no need to cover up.”

When Tian Miaomiao said the last sentence, it was already the middle of the moon.

Don’t look at just five or six miles, but Tian Miaomiao had searched for half a night.

The person who came was extremely skillful, without the need to intentionally cover up, he could hardly leave the slightest trace.

Especially with the light power to step on the tip of the grass this kind of flying on the grass of kung fu, but also can not be found, at least in the Jiang Ran view, that grass and the other completely no difference.

However, Tian Miao Miao was able to tell the difference, and her words were very convincing.

Several times Jiang Ran thought that Tian Miao Miao might not be able to see it and was talking nonsense.

As a result, she really found the trail.

Up to this point, Tian Miao Miao was not needed, Jiang Ran and the others could continue to look forward according to the footprints.

As a result, the speed was much faster.

Dong Qingcheng admired Tian Miao Miao:

“Jiang Warrior is so lucky, this girl is smart and clever, and her tracking skills are this good, she is really a great talent!”

“……”

Tian Miaomiao was indeed out of Jiang Ran’s expectations, but this had nothing to do with the ravishing fortune!

Although Jiang Ran knew that it was probably useless to explain, he still emphasized that the relationship between him and Tian Miaomiao was pure, and all the impurity was all because of Tian Miaomiao’s broken mouth.

In this way, along the footprints trace search, another full hour after walking.

The crowd finally came to a place.

Ridiculous to say, this place is not too far from the ancient chapter county.

Just this way over, do not know how many circles.

Standing in the distance to see, this realm of bright lights, can also hear the sound of axe chiseling stone carving.

It seems that late at night, there are a large number of people digging something here.

Closer to realize, this is a mine.

Surrounded by soldiers guarding, inside not only the sound of mining, there is red light in the sky, apparently dug out of the ore, directly smelting, burned out of the iron ingots, then take to build.

Now in the middle of the night, there is no sign of rest.

Can be said to be non-stop day and night.

Jiang Ran raised his eyes and gazed, his brows slightly knitted, looking toward Tian Miao Miao:

“Is it really here?”

“There will never be a mistake!”

Tian Miaomiao said with a straight face, “Your Excellency, you can doubt that I’m not good in the head, but you definitely can’t doubt my tracking skills!”

“There’s no need to doubt your bad brain.”

Jiang Ran rolled his eyes.

Tian Miaomiao thought about it and nodded in agreement, “Also right.”

Also right can be okay?

Jiang Ran cried and laughed for a moment.

Dong Qingcheng frowned:

“All the mines in the world, except for a few that belong to a few big powers in the jianghu, all the others are owned by the imperial court.

“This should be the iron ore field in Gu Zhang County, Gu Zhang County is remote, but this place is their lifeline.

“If what Miss Tian said is true, how come fellow members of the Chongshan Sect are locked up here?

“Could it be that the one dealing with them is not the evil demons in the Jianghu …… but, rather, the imperial court?”

“The court?”

Jiang Ran glanced at him and shook his head:

“The imperial court is far away, the gaze of the one in the temple may not be able to see here.

“This is Ancient Chapter County, the county governor is the sky.”

“What do you mean ……”

“I don’t mean anything.”

Jiang Ran waved his hand:

“Since we’re here, we always have to explore.

“Today, even though I’m spooking the snakes and drawing out the horse’s feet.

“But in doing so, it will also cause them to be alerted, and sooner or later, we’ll have to find traces of them this night at the latest.

“In this way, I will go in, and you will wait here.”

“I’ll go with you!”

Tang Yuyi asked for help without even thinking about it.

Jiang Ran glanced at her:

“I have a way to sneak in, can you?”

“Who are you looking down on?”

Tang Yuyi raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Ran smiled faintly after pondering for a moment:

“Good.”

“No.”

Dong Qingcheng hastily shook his head:

“After all, this is the place of the imperial court, and the offense of breaking into it is not small.

“If we’re found out, it’ll be troublesome if it becomes a big deal.

“I can’t let you take the risk.

“If you guys insist on going, I’ll join you.”

“Brother Dong, let me ask you, do you know how to sneak in?”

Jiang Ran asked.

“…… This, not too much.”

Dong Qingcheng replied bluntly, “The Blazing Blade Sect only teaches how to punish traitors and eliminate evil, it doesn’t teach how to sneak in ……”

“Isn’t that it? The two of us go in and come out, we can come and go without a shadow or a sound.

“Brother Dong prefers to follow along, that’s what adds to the chaos.”

Jiang Ran spoke nonchalantly:

“You just wait here with them ……

“Tian Miaomiao, Ke Beisheng, and …… Shocking Snow.

“You all stay here, if Tianxin and I really encounter something, though I expect they won’t be able to stop us.

“But at that time, we may still need your help to break the back.”

“Good.”

Ye Jingxue was obedient and directly nodded.

Ke Beisheng naturally didn’t need to say much, he just listened when Jiang Ran spoke.

Just Jiang Ran looked at him, in the end, still a little less assured, so he called Ye Jingxue over and whispered two sentences in her ear.

Ye Jingxue looked different, surprised and looked at Jiang Ran.

But still nodded:

“I know.”

“En, it’s good to know.”

After he finished speaking, he reached out and dug around in his pocket before finding a masked scarf and tying it on.

Dong Qingcheng was staring at him in disbelief, and was about to ask why you’re still carrying this around.

Then he saw Tang Wuyi follow suit and also touched a scarf from his pocket and tied it on.

This made Dong Qingcheng suddenly have some self-doubt, isn’t it true that you have to wear a masked scarf when walking in the jianghu?

“Alright, you guys back away a bit so you don’t get spotted, let’s go!”

Jiang Ran waved his hand at them before flying off together with Tang Yuyi.

Naturally, they couldn’t go in from the front, the two of them circled around towards the side, and when they were out of sight, they came to a place where the firelight couldn’t shine.

Then hid there and watched quietly for a while.

Determined the guard time …… because of the time constraints task urgent, too late to thoroughly pry clear every patrol time and law.

After peering at the two patrol gaps, the two people looked at each other and flew up, but not towards the inside of the mine, but ran towards the patrolling soldiers.

There aren’t that many masters in this world, and the soldiers patrolling here won’t all be skilled in internal martial arts.

For the two of them to deal with two soldiers, it was simply bullying.

The last two didn’t even say a word and were taken away by them.

When they arrived at a secluded place, they neatly stripped the clothes off the two people.

Then listen to the bones of Tang Wuyi’s body chirping and rattling for a while, the body has been taken with her captive that person in general, followed by the face of the face undulating a bit, has become the person’s appearance.

Jiang Ran saw this and sighed in admiration:

“What a Tian Ji Dou Shi Da Shifted Shape Method.”

This martial art seemed simple, but it was worthy of being one of the eighteen Heavenly Demon Records.

The twisting of flesh and bones was just like child’s play.

Jiang Ran didn’t have such a skill as her, and although the Snake Walking Technique also included a means like Bone Shrinking, it couldn’t be this comfortable.

Good thing he caught that person’s figure is not too different from his, and then with the Autumn Water Ice Condensation Decision, ordinary people can’t see the cracks.

Two people disguise disguise good after, will be those two unlucky eggs hide good.

Estimated that when they wake up, it will already be three poles in the morning.

Only then did they re-enter the mine, strutting towards the inside.

Just to this point, two people are a little bit numb claws.

Without Tian Miao Miao’s tracking technique, it was really hard for them to find that person in the daytime.

While walking and observing the surroundings, they finally learned some information about this place from some of the soldiers, as well as the people who were digging.

Based on these bits and pieces of information pieced together.

This place was indeed the official mine of Gu Zhang County.

Most of the miners were prisoners, so the guards were extremely strict.

These people were divided into two shifts of alternating labor, one at night and another during the day.

After they finished, they would return to the prison cell of the mine to rest.

The two of them found out the location of the prison cell, and headed towards it.

But when they reached the door, they were unable to enter.

The soldiers guarding the prison house were not dressed the same as those patrolling outside, so if they rushed in, they would be recognized.

Under no circumstances, the two people had to wait in front of the door.

After a while, only to see two soldiers from the prison room out, to do something.

Unfortunately, this thing could not be done.

Just after walking to a secluded place, they were intercepted.

Changed two more sets of clothes, rearranged two faces, and only then did they stride towards the prison room.

The guards at the door were still surprised to see them:

“Didn’t you say you were going to the outhouse?”

Tang Yuyi opened her mouth and replied:

“Relieve yourself without lifting your head, there are outhouses everywhere.”

The guard grinned when he heard that:

“Don’t you pull it out, I don’t know which unlucky one caused me to step all over my feet last time.”

The remaining few people laughed, and then they let the line go.
