Chapter 244.

It was just like what School Captain Chang had said.

With this group of Chongshan Sect’s people, once they left the prison cell, there were countless eyes around them all of a sudden.

Some of these gazes were from the soldiers patrolling the night, some were from the laborers in the mine ……

But no one can tell how many of these gazes are mixed with third party positions.

Under the influence of such gazes, the group left the iron mine.

Only after waiting until no one was around did Jiang Ran reach out and clamp down on Chang Heng:

“What are you waiting for? Keep going, Captain Chang.”

“I have released the people as promised, do you want to go back on your word?”

Chang Heng’s face was blue and his acting skills were excellent.

Although with Jiang Ran’s internal martial arts, he could basically determine that there was no one around, much less watching this scene of theirs.

But after all, it is a matter of great importance ……

If someone’s method of restraining the breath is brilliant, they can’t detect it, and exposed it with a big grin, it would be unattractive.

Immediately sneered:

“You think that I am a three year old child? This place is only a few steps away from your iron ore field, I let you go on this side, you yell out, we will have to be chased all the way by your people.

“Go, where safe I say, you do not want to give me tricks.”

Said reached out and pushed, Chang Heng involuntarily by Jiang Ran shoved forward.

On the contrary, several people of Chongshan Sect were a bit impatient.

The leader of the old-fashioned and dignified face almost wanted to speak, but when Jiang Ran turned back to take care of Tang Yuyi, he happened to notice him, and immediately gave him a cross glance:

“Shut up.”

“……”

The man was immediately aggrieved, he hadn’t said anything yet.

After traveling not too far towards the place he had agreed with Dong Qingcheng, Ye Jingxue and the others, he heard the sound of a breaking wind.

As soon as Jiang Ran looked up, he saw a white figure had stopped in front of them.

Without waiting to speak, they heard Jiang Ran say:

“It’s me!”

Ye Jingxue’s brows cleared slightly as she stared at Jiang Ran’s face for a while before saying:

“Why did you go for so long?

“Do you know that if you guys don’t come out again, we’re going to break in.”

“Didn’t we agree that if there’s really any problem, I’ll send a fire meteor.”

Jiang Ran smiled:

“The situation inside is a lot more complicated than expected.

“It’s also out of our expectations ……

“Where is Brother Dong?”

As soon as the words left his mouth, he saw Dong Qingcheng coming all the way over with his lightweight skills.

Behind him on one side was Ke Beisheng, and the other was naturally Tian Miaomiao.

“Brother Dong?”

As soon as that veteran of the Chongshan Sect saw Dong Qingcheng, he was taken aback:

“You have also arrived in this Gu Zhang County?”

“It’s Brother Hua!”

Dong Qingcheng was also very happy to see the old Cheng Shouzhong:

“I guessed that the person leading the Chongshan Sect this time would definitely be you!

“It’s really great that you guys are alright!”

Saying this, he looked towards that Chang Heng and Jiang Ran again, his brows slightly furrowed:

“This is?”

“Chang Heng he ……”

Old Cheng was about to open his mouth when he heard Chang Heng shout angrily:

“As things stand, if you want to kill or die, do as you please!”

The crowd froze, Jiang Ran skimmed his mouth:

“Theater over ……”

Chang Heng thought for a moment before saying:

“Then you now, may release me?”

“Release, naturally ……”

Jiang Ran said softly:

“But always have to leave you some thoughts …… otherwise, is not asking for trouble?”

As he spoke, he suddenly shook his hand.

Hearing a bang, Chang Heng’s entire body was knocked backward one after another by this palm, and as soon as his body softened, he had fainted on the ground.

“This palm is enough for him to lie down until tomorrow, let’s go.”

Turning back again, he had already pulled the arm of that veteran:

“We have to do a full set of theater, the more I injure him, the safer he will be.”

Without waiting to say a word, Jiang Ran blocked him back.

Can only be pulled by him and Dong Qingcheng Ye Jingxue and other people, together with the display of light power quickly away.

Only after walking for a while did Jiang Ran reach out and tell everyone to stop.

His eyes swept around before he looked at the old man and asked in a loud voice:

“How exactly were you all captured?

“Time is limited, so be brief and concise and explain as soon as possible.”

After hearing this, the old man was filled with difficulty and couldn’t help but look at Dong Qingcheng.

Dong Qingcheng would have naturally heard Jiang Ran’s voice by now, and although he didn’t know how he had performed the disguise technique that was so exquisite, he hurriedly said:

“This is the Amazing God Sword Jiang Ran Jiang Warrior!

“What is it that you have, just say it.”

“Frightening God Sword Jiang Ran!?”

Only then did it dawn on the old Cheng Cheng that no wonder he said he had an old relationship with Cheng Tian Yang.

Hearing that the person in front of him was Jiang Ran, he had no more worries:

“There’s a big problem within Gu Zhang County, we arrived here first in order to unite with the other six factions to investigate this matter.

“After we arrived first and tracked down this one mine, we became acquainted with Chang Heng.

“The party learned that this entire mine of theirs was busy casting weapons to be shipped to unknown places.

“Afterwards, we agreed to first trace the destination of this batch of weapons.

“By Chang Heng notified us of the location of their and the other party’s handover, so as to secretly follow.

“But did not expect that this matter somehow leaked out.

“As a result …… we were ambushed.”

Jiang Ran asked him to be brief and concise, so he erased all the side issues and told the matter as fast as he could.

After listening, Jiang Ran frowned slightly:

“Then what was that matter with the Wang family?”

“Wang family? The matter of Wang Xiao Gongzi forcibly robbing the people’s women?”

When the old man heard this, his face sank:

“At that time, someone secretly sneaked up on …… but I don’t know what kind of person’s tactics it was.”

“……”

In the case of being secretly attacked by someone and not knowing who the other party was, he dared to rashly go and trace the whereabouts of the iron ore mine’s weapons?

Jiang Ran didn’t know whether to say that this person was courageous or that he was ignorant and fearless.

But if that was the case, the tactics of the person who sneaked up on them were also very impressive.

Noiselessly will several Chongshan sect disciples folded not to mention, they also can not find the other party the slightest trace ……

But what is the purpose of this move?

Is it a passing expert, because they are not accustomed to the Chongshan School of this famous school, so they secretly start to bad their face?

Or is there another plan?

The Wang family is also not a light ……

Regardless of whether it’s Master Wang, or that little Wang Gongzi, all of them have a layer of skin on their bodies.

Under this layer of skin, what kind of true face is hidden, but no one knows.

But if the purpose of sneaking up on this group of people from the Chongshan Sect was something else, it was to specifically draw the gaze of the later, towards the Wang family …… then it is possible.

Just from what Jiang Ran and the others had seen along the way.

If it wasn’t for Tian Miaomiao’s extraordinary tracking ability, they would have had to start their investigation with the Wang family.

Other than that, the matter of Wang Xiao Gongzi carrying inner strength had already been probed by Jiang Ran.

Even if he was suspected, he couldn’t even cry injustice.

Jiang Ran quickly turned the whole thing around and around in his head, and while he was thinking about it, he saw Tang Yuyi sneakily moving her steps backward.

“What are you doing?”

Jiang Ran glanced at her, somewhat puzzled.

“Nothing.”

Tang Yuyi shook her head repeatedly.

Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows:

“Brother Dong, you take the fellow sect members of the Chongshan Sect back to the inn first……. However, all of the people of the Chongshan Sect should pay attention to hiding their identities a bit, and don’t expose them easily.

“This Gu Zhang County from the county magistrate, to the rich households there is no one is simple.

“Up and down are all ears and eyes …… For today’s solution, the best way is to wait for a few other large sects to meet here together and consolidate their strength before they can cope with things here.”

Dong Qingcheng immediately agreed.

Previously, he might have been a bit unconvinced by Jiang Ran.

However, on this journey, just saving the Chongshan Sect and their group was something that had been done without a trace, and as a result, it had been done by him.

This ability, not to admire is really not.

Chongshan faction side is a little skeptical, but see Dong Qingcheng this kind of pain, then also agreed.

Dong Qingcheng, however, could not help but ask:

“Then where are you going, Great Warrior Jiang?”

“There is something that I have to verify.”

Jiang Ran spoke softly, but didn’t explain it thoroughly.

Dong Qingcheng was well-informed, so he didn’t ask any detailed questions, but just hugged his fists and led the Old Success and the others in the direction of the county seat of Guzhang County.

Jiang Ran, on the other hand, led Tang Yuyi and the others in the direction of the iron ore mine.

After taking two steps, Jiang Ran turned back:

“Why don’t you go back to the inn?”

Ye Jingxue said as a matter of course:

“What you said was for Brother Dong to bring fellow members of the Chongshan Sect back to the inn, I’m not a member of the Chongshan Sect, nor am I your Brother Dong, so why should I go back?

“What unseemly things do you have that I can’t know?

“Or is it not that I can’t know, it’s that I don’t dare to tell my sister?”

“Hmph.”

This sound didn’t come from Jiang Ran, it was Tang Yuyi.

Ye Jingxue then gave Tang Yuyi a strange look.

When they first met, she felt that Tang Yingyi was looking at her with odd eyes.

To say it was hostility, it didn’t seem to be ……

But it seemed like she just couldn’t look away.

But that day when they first met, there was no entanglement between them, why would this person look at herself with dislike?

This way, this feeling is also more and more obvious.

As if now, as a sister-in-law, and Jiang Ran said such words, seemingly reproach, in fact, is also a kind of intimacy.

Jiang Ran didn’t even do anything about it, this person started to hum in a conspiratorial manner again.

Humming what humming ah?

Who wouldn’t?

Ye Jingxue immediately glared angrily at Tang Yuyi and followed suit with a hum.

Tang Yuyi was furious!

This time, Li Tianxin’s persona couldn’t even suppress the Tang Painting Yi inside her.

The eyes directly forced their way over:

“Humph!!!”

“Sick!?”

Ye Jingxue couldn’t hold back after all:

“Why on earth are you looking at me horizontally and vertically?

“If you really have any opinions about me, you can take your shots, this girl will take them all!”

Good!

Tang Yuyi’s heart was a million percent in favor of it.

However, when it came to her mouth, she turned around:

“Good men don’t fight with women!”

“…… Children of the rivers and lakes, let alone men and women?”

“After all, men and women are different, how can I bully you like this? Back to no light and heavy, deep and shallow, you can’t get married again in case you rely on me how to do?”

“I think you don’t dare to do it, right?”

“Whatever you say, I won’t fight you anyway. Winning is dishonorable, losing is even more humiliating.”

Jiang Ran’s brain hurt from the two of them bickering:

“Can you guys be quiet for a while?”

“Can’t!”

The two of them looked at Jiang Ran angrily at the same time.

Jiang Ran immediately stopped his mouth …… are living ancestors that can’t be messed with!

Hm? Why use ‘all’?

Tian Miaomiao was even more bewildered and asked Ke Beisheng in a low voice:

“Why are they fighting?”

Poor Ke Beisheng has lived most of his life alone, how could he understand the key?

But facing Tian Miao Miao’s thirsty face, he thought for a moment or said:

“Adult things, children should not ask.”

Tian Miaomiao suddenly realized, and indeed no longer continued to ask.

It was good that Tang Wuyi and Ye Jingxue didn’t keep arguing.

They only felt that this argument was tasteless, and it would be a shame to abandon it, plus the occasion was inappropriate, so they stopped when it was almost over.

However, it was still unavoidable for each of them to gamble.

Ye Jingxue tilted her head to the side, not looking at Tang Wuyi.

Tang Painting Yi, on the other hand, took two quick steps towards Jiang Ran and asked:

“You’re going to watch the fun too?”

Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow:

“What hilarity?”

“Ahem …… nothing.”

Tang Yuyi knew she had guessed wrong, how dare she continue.

Jiang Ran thoughtfully looked at Tang Yuyi’s face again, came to a realization, and then was speechless:

“Do you …… want to be so boring?”

“…… Life is short, so we should be happy in time.

“You do not do things quickly, I naturally have to find some fun for myself.”

“The fun will be there soon.”

Jiang Ran laughed, “We’re just going to see interesting things.”

“Oh?”

Tang Yuyi blinked, vaguely expecting something.

But when Jiang Ran led them to the place where Chang Heng had collapsed just now, Tang Yingyi felt that there couldn’t possibly be any fun in this place.

But when she realized that Chang Heng was no longer here, her eyes instantly lit up:

“Didn’t you say that he has to lie down until at least tomorrow?”

Jiang Ran, on the other hand, beckoned to Tian Miaomiao:

“Can you find traces of this person?”

“Naturally!”

Tian Miaomiao lowered her head to distinguish, then looked at Jiang Ran:

“Your Excellency, the person you knocked down just now is the one who took away that ‘rat’ ah.

“Footprint marks, exactly the same.”

“What?”

Tang Yuyi and Ye Jingxue were both creeped out.

After subconsciously glancing at each other, but then coming back to their senses, they each gave a ‘humph’ and looked away.

Ke Beisheng, on the other hand, his face sank:

“It’s really him? I don’t even know him from across the street!”

Jiang Ran was not too surprised:

“Captain Chang’s body was already full of doubts, but now it seems that there is an explanation.”

“What explanation, don’t say only half of what you say.”

Tang Yuyi abhorred this.

Jiang Ran smiled:

“You shouldn’t have forgotten, at the very beginning, how did we get here?”

“Of course it was following that footprint ……”

Tang Yuyi understood Jiang Ran’s meaning when she said this.

Since she had followed that person’s footprints here, why had she gotten no news of this person in the middle of this mine.

And the Chang Lieutenant had only mentioned that ‘thieving fellow’ one sentence from beginning to end, and it was not certain, if it was that person or not.

Afterward in his words, although said that person, but that person is now where, in this mine, or another in another place, but not mentioned.

“So, I’ve never trusted this person.”

Jiang Ran said softly:

“That’s also why, I haven’t shown my identity before him ……

“But now it seems that even if he didn’t know originally, he should know our identity now.”

“Then now, aren’t we losing our head start?”

Tang Yuyi frowned slightly.

Jiang Ran, however, shook his head:

“If we had never recognized this matter, then we would have truly lost our head start.

“But now ……”

As he said this, he glanced at Tian Miaomiao again:

“Help find where this person has gone, after such a big event tonight, he won’t just turn back to the mine, right?”

Tian Miaomiao had already been prepared, at this time, when she heard Jiang Ran speak, she reached out and pointed:

“He went towards that side ……”

Over there again …… Isn’t that the south side?

Is it true that she can’t tell south-east from north-west?

Jiang Ran muttered slightly in his heart and let Tian Miao Miao lead the way, leading them to look for this person.

Tian Miaomiao was naturally unresponsive, all the way to find the trail, traveling not too far when she still wanted to go forward, Jiang Ran suddenly reached out and pulled her back:

“Stop.”

Tian Miaomiao froze and looked back at Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran made a silent gesture, telling everyone not to speak for the moment.

The crowd complied and silently waited for Jiang Ran.

Then they saw Jiang Ran’s ears twitch:

“You guys wait for me here.”

“I’ll go with you!”

Ye Jingxue and Tang Yuyi spoke almost simultaneously.

Then they glared angrily at each other again.

It was good that they both knew the situation was wrong and didn’t yell.

Jiang Ran was silent for a long time, feeling that the best thing to do was to bring them all.

If one of them was arbitrarily chosen, the other one would definitely be upset.

But if they were to leave them all behind, these two might not make any jokes.

Then there would be no choice.

It was that saying, children only make choices.

Jiang Ran sighed:

“Then you two, come with me.

“Miao Miao and Beisheng stay here.”

“Yes.”

Ke Beisheng bowed honestly.

Tian Miao Miao, on the other hand, couldn’t help but ask:

“Why can’t we go?”

Jiang Ran didn’t bother with her, grabbing one in one hand and swiftly had gone far away.

Tian Miaomiao didn’t think of following, but only looked at Ke Beisheng in doubt.

Ke Beisheng was torn again and again, feeling that he really didn’t know how to answer, so he had to say:

“Adults’ matters, children don’t pry blindly.”

Tian Miaomiao listened to these words of déjà vu and pondered.

On the other end, Jiang Ran brought his two sister-in-laws …… Oh, no, it was with two girls, and had already hidden above a large tree.

There was a person right under the tree, sitting on his knees, running his energy to heal his wounds.

It was Chang Heng.

The corners of his mouth were still covered in blood, and a layer of sinister black gas filled his body, gulping and flickering between his seven orifices.

When Tang Yuyi and Ye Jingxue saw him in such a state, they frowned tightly at the same time.

No matter how one looked at it, what this Chang Heng had learned was by no means any honorable martial arts.

How could anyone within the Tiger Balm Army cultivate such tactics?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the sound of running water clattering.

A figure suddenly rose from the water.

This person was soaked to the skin, and his clothes were plastered to his body, revealing a tantalizing curve.

Ye Jingxue and Tang Yuyi saw this, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and block Jiang Ran from looking at ……

Jiang Ran skimmed his mouth, “Solo happiness is not as good as the happiness of all, you guys can see it, but I can’t see it? What kind of reasoning is this?

Moreover, the most important thing is that the one who came out of the water …… Jiang Ran also recognized, and at this time also had doubts:

“How can it be her?”
