Chapter 259.
The wine gourd was the old drunkard’s wine gourd.
This was something that Jiang Ran naturally wouldn’t recognize.
Ever since he was a child, he didn’t know how many times he had taken this wine gourd to drink.
Among the mottled marks on it, there were quite a few that came from Jiang Ran’s hand.
In that case, the one who took the wine gourd and asked him to meet him at the Temple of the God of Wushu outside the city could only be the old drunkard.
He had just entered the city, and this old thing had found him?
Jiang Ran couldn’t wait to see him at night, and since he took the wine gourd and had a child come in to inform him, how far away could he be?
In that case, he naturally had to come out and look for it.
If he could find him, he wouldn’t wait for the night, he would beat him up right now!
But soon Jiang Ran realized that this idea was still a bit unreliable.
The streets in the Jin Yang Mansion are not too spacious, and the people are even more crowded.
Under such circumstances, it was not easy to find someone.
Jiang Ran turned half a day, and jumped to the high place to see …… but has been to see the last also did not find this old drunkard traces.
There was nothing to do but to return to the inn.
Within the inn, the wind is calm.
In addition to the snotty child was Ye Jingxue they pulled to the room to eat outside, there is no other change.
It was just that the kid looked a bit trembling.
Especially when he saw Jiang Ran, it was as if he had seen a ghost.
Jiang Ran was a bit puzzled, so Tang Yuyi gave him a blank look:
“You manifested yourself in front of people and scared the child.”
Jiang Ran laughed dumbly.
This was no wonder.
Just now, in his haste, he had performed the Indulgent Flowing Light Technique, transforming into a bit of flowing light and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Not to mention a little doll that doesn’t know martial arts, even if it was a famous expert in the Jianghu Lake, he might not be able to capture his stance.
This child raised his head, a good end of a big living person suddenly disappeared, and how can not be afraid?
He might begin to suspect that he has encountered some evil spirits and demons, and intends to trick him into eating this meal, and then eat him alive.
Jiang Ran thought of this, then smiled slightly and came to the child:
“Can you …… you say what that old man looked like just now?”
That child heard Jiang Ran speak in a soft voice, and although his heart was still a little uneasy, he was able to remain calm and thought carefully for a moment and said:
“It’s just a …… scruffy old man.
“By the way, he also had a knife hanging on him, made of wood, very delicate.
“I sent a message to him, and would have liked to use that knife as a reward, but the result was that he was so petty that he couldn’t spare it at all, and only gave me a few pennies to buy sugar gourds to eat.”
Wooden knife ……
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment and nodded gently:
“Then apart from saying that he wanted me to meet him at night, did he have any other orders?”
The boy shook his head:
“No more.”
“Good, thanks a lot, feel free to eat these things.”
Jiang Ran pointed at the rice on the table, then leaned back in his chair, not knowing what to think.
Dong Qingcheng and the others looked at each other in disbelief, it was the first time they had seen such a Jiang Ran.
They were all a bit stunned for a moment.
In the end, it was Dong Qingcheng who was the first to speak:
“Is there something wrong with this ……?”
Tang Yuyi shook her head:
“It’s nothing, it’s his master who ran away from home, I reckon that he’s currently pondering what exactly to do with him if he sees someone tonight.”
The crowd came to a realization, while Li Xiuwu glanced at Jiang Ran with some surprise:
“Your master also likes to run away from home?
“My master is also like this …… A few days ago, I broke one of his broken jars, and he was dying to live.
“I didn’t look at it for a moment, and the person ran away.
“I also don’t know that this time I came back, I had to bring a few more master siblings to the Guan ……”
Zhao Ansheng glanced at him as he sniffed:
“Can you be compared to Jiang Warrior? Your master totally just couldn’t stand you destroying his household goods every day.
“That’s why he moved overnight ……
“As for those senior brothers and sisters of yours ……”
When he said this, the corners of Zhao Ansheng’s mouth couldn’t be suppressed a bit.
Li Xiuwu’s master had an extremely good heart, and most of all, he couldn’t see children suffer.
Every time he went out to travel the rivers and lakes, he always inevitably brought a few children with little food and clothing back to the Jiu Zhen Guan, accepting them as disciples and taking care of them.
This was how Li Xiuwu was brought back to the Nine Truths Sect back then.
And this habit has not changed even after so many years.
So much so that nowadays, the Nine Truths Guan was thriving to the extreme.
Li Xiuwu heard Zhao Ansheng speak, immediately wanted to sneer back, but thought for half a day, also really can’t find anything to refute his words, under the hopeless, can only sigh.
It was Jiang Ran who came back to his senses at this time and glanced at Tang Yuyi:
“You’re coming with me tonight.”
Ye Jingxue looked at Tang Wuyi and then at Jiang Ran, falling into silence.
Tang Yuyi, on the other hand, nodded:
“Fine.”
She didn’t have much stage fright.
When the words came to this point, it was about time.
It was better to be early than late for the matter of the Tiger Wei Pass, and Dong Qingcheng and the others had to depart just as they landed.
However, in order to seek speed, a few people left their disciples here to be driven by Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran couldn’t take care of them, so he asked Hu Nan to help place them for the time being.
Hu Nan did not excuse himself, after Jiang Ran’s order, it was as if he had gotten a chicken feather arrow, it was called a high and mighty.
Jiang Ran had to let Li Tianyu keep an eye on the point, so as not to make something to end badly.
This day did not have anything happened.
In the blink of an eye, the night had already covered the earth.
Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi went out in the starry night, and after going over the city wall, they rushed in the direction of the Temple of the God of Wushu.
As for the situation and location of this Martial God Temple, they had naturally already found out clearly.
Some years ago, this Temple of the God of Wushu was still in full bloom, but now it has long been in disrepair.
On weekdays, except for some beggars, or people who couldn’t afford to stay in a hotel, there weren’t many people passing by here.
When Jiang Ran and Tang Wuyi arrived here, they didn’t see anyone else except for two ten-year-old children hidden under the offering table.
Those two children were alert, and when they heard someone arrive, they immediately woke up.
The older one hurriedly covered the mouth of the child beside him.
Jiang Ran’s gaze swept over them and smiled:
“Go ahead and sleep.”
Then he sat down on the ground, unhooked the wine gourd from his waist, and glanced around:
“This old thing asked me to meet here, why hasn’t he come yet?”
“Take it easy …….”
Tang Yuyi took out a packet of dried meat from her bosom, took out a slice and stuffed it into her mouth, not waiting to swallow, she heard a loud gagging sound.
Looking back, it was the two children who watched her eat the dried meat and couldn’t help swallowing their saliva.
Tang Yuyi thought for a moment and said:
“It’s not good to eat at night …… so I won’t share it with you.”
The two children sniffed and simply closed their eyes, not wanting to look at her …… If you don t give it, if you don t give it, it s not good to eat at night, what do you eat?
But looking at Jiang Ran and Tang Wuyi two people do not seem to harbor malicious intentions, then also slightly put down their hearts.
The older one whispered to the child beside him:
“You go to sleep first.”
He still had to keep an eye on these two uninvited guests.
Of course, it was only keeping an eye on them.
The two little beggars, who were living in the Temple of the God of Wushu on loan, were naturally not qualified to call themselves masters.
There are bystanders passing by here, and even discussing words.
It was all unusual …… As long as it was harmless to oneself, nothing else mattered.
Jiang Ran’s gaze, on the other hand, swept over those two children again and returned to Tang Yuyi’s body:
“You also eat less.”
“Then you also drink less.”
Tang Wuyi sneered back.
Jiang Ran was speechless for a while, and was ignoring the place when he suddenly frowned slightly.
“Coming?”
Tang Wuyi saw a change in his expression and immediately realized that something was wrong:
“Not him?”
“Probably just passing through.”
Jiang Ran gently shook his head and did not take it to heart.
But soon realized that something was wrong, the sound heard in his ears was coming straight to this place.
And the number of people coming was quite a lot, all of them were fast horses.
At this moment, Tang Yuyi also heard the sound and raised her eyebrows gently:
“There’s a total of thirteen riders? What kind of people could they be?”
“Just take a look and we’ll know.”
As Jiang Ran spoke, he realized that the two children had already climbed up with a grunt, both with panicked looks on their faces.
Obviously, they had heard the conversation between him and Tang Yuyi.
After glancing at each other, they actually crawled out from under that offering table and turned to hide behind the statue of the Martial God.
Jiang Ran and Tang Painting Yi were both stunned at this.
Glancing at each other, the same thought flooded their hearts.
And right at this moment, the sound of horses’ hooves was already close at hand, and a moment later, a loud boom was heard.
But it was the gate of the Martial God Temple that was broken open.
Raise your eyes to look, a thirteen horsemen, then this fish through the entry, straight to the Temple of the God of Wushu before the hall before the horse stops.
Seeing the leader of a wolf looking at the eagle’s eye, eyes turned, directly fell on Jiang Ran and Tang Wuyi’s body.
He gently clipped the horse’s belly, and the galloping horse carried him two steps forward, crossing into the main hall of the Temple of the Martial God:
“Have you …… seen the two children?”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“All of you came here in a rage, so it turns out that it’s just for the two children, but I don’t know what is the relationship between these two children and you?”
The eyes of the man in the lead narrowed slightly:
“I’m the one asking you.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Jiang Ran laughed:
“What’s important is that I asked you as well.”
“Unbridled!!!”
A broken shout was followed by the flying of shadows.
The twelve people outside the temple had abandoned their galloping horses and thrown themselves into the grand hall, surrounding Jiang Ran and Tang Yingyi.
Jiang Ran swept his eyes over these people, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something.
Following that, he spoke softly:
“Thirteen Iron Blood Riders?
“You’re from the Iron Cavalry Alliance?”
“Good eyesight.”
The man at the head spoke indifferently:
“Nowadays, who do you think should answer who first?”
“I think it’s still you who should answer me first.”
Jiang Ran casually took a piece of dried meat from Tang Yuyi’s side and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing on it twice before frowning slightly:
“It’s salty, where did you buy it?”
Tang Yuyi also ate a piece: “In front of the inn, an old man sold it, I think it’s okay.”
“Eat light, it’s good for the body.”
Jiang Ran casually instructed, and asked the man across the street:
“What are the people from the Iron Cavalry Alliance doing running to the Jin Yang Province? If I don’t remember wrongly, this side should be the land of the Ask River Pavilion ……”
Not only did he not answer the other person’s question, he asked the question himself and added to it.
The brow of the man at the head furrowed slightly.
All of them were old in the jianghu, he could tell that Jiang Ran wasn’t pretending to be calm, he really wasn’t afraid.
The Iron Cavalry Alliance wasn’t enough to scare this person.
Then who the hell is he?
Between the thoughts turning in his mind, he spoke softly:
“Your Excellency is so unreasonable, I ask you a question and you don’t answer, you ask me a question and I have to answer ……
“This is unreasonable, how about, you and I each take a step back, I answer one of your questions and you answer one of mine.”
Jiang Ran waved his hand repeatedly:
“No need, no need, no need for this trouble.
“You are not worthy.”
As soon as these three words left his mouth, the face of the man at the head of the opposite side suddenly turned iron blue:
“Shame on you!
“Kill them, and pull out those two behind the statue of the Martial God for me.”
Regardless of whether Jiang Ran was really not afraid, or was bluffing, this sentence ‘you don’t deserve’ exit, each other no longer have any room for détente.
Mixing with the jianghu, often are mixed with a face.
Jiang Ran this does not give them face, that can be set up a deadly hatred!
The remaining twelve people have long been waiting for the order to strike.
But right at this moment, only to hear a voice like thunder drinking:
“Iron Cavalry Alliance’s dog talent, last time halfway through the fight let you escape, today I will see, you can still escape to where?”
As these words fell, a blood-colored figure was seen surging in the clouds from all directions.
However, in the blink of an eye, another circle was surrounded within this Temple of the Martial God.
The Temple of the Martial God, which was still cold and quiet and miserable just now, was overcrowded in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Ran’s face didn’t look good either.
He had been asked to meet here by the old drunkard, and for no reason at all, so many people had come out.
Moreover, the identity of these two children was not in doubt as the group of people who came behind him showed up.
This thing …… should not be the old drunkard intentionally, right?
The one whose face was equally unsightly was the head of that iron blood thirteen horsemen on the opposite side.
He gently reined in his horse, his face as heavy as water:
“Xuanyuan Yidao! You are really …… possessed by the bone, and your soul is not yet gone!!!”
“Hahaha.”
Scarlet-colored silhouettes made a path, and saw an old man with white hair, but a tiger’s back and waist, and had stepped into the crowd between dragon walks and tiger steps.
Casually picking and pulling the shoulders of two Iron Blood Thirteen Riders, both of them didn’t dare to resist and made way.
Just then, he heard Xuanyuan Yidao yell:
“Tie Qing Shan, everyone says that you Iron Blood Thirteen Riders are iron and heroic, but I didn’t expect that these Thirteen Riders were applied by you as if they were flying, so it’s really a case of running away when you say you’re going to run away!
“You bullying thing, have the ability to come to try the old man’s hands of a thousand knives!
“For no reason, in the middle of the night and ran to this broken temple in the middle of bullying people …… Let the old man see, who are you bullying this?”
His gaze had been gazing at that Iron Green Mountain, and only at this point did he turn his head to look.
As a result, he saw Jiang Ran and Tang Yingyi at a glance.
Tang Wuyi even waved her hand at him, and later handed out dried meat:
“Eat it or not? He said it’s a bit salty …… but I think it’s okay.”
Tie Qing Shan sniffed and sneered:
“It seems that these two young people, too, have not put you, the Blood Sword Hall master, in their eyes.
“How, do you eat or not?”
Eat!
Xuanyuan Yidao didn’t even think about it, came all the way to Tang Yuyi with small steps, carefully pinched over a piece, stuffed it into his mouth, and nodded:
“It’s indeed a bit salty.”
Tie Qingshan: “……”
Tang Yuyi rolled her eyes:
“If he says salty, you have to say salty too?
“You guys are in cahoots, most undesirable.”
Xuanyuan Yidao smiled awkwardly, Tie Qingshan’s face would be even more ironic this time:
“You guys know each other?”
These four words had just finished speaking when he saw Xuanyuan Yidao flop down and kneel in front of Jiang Ran:
“Disciple Xuanyuan Yidao, pay respects to the benefactor!
“I haven’t seen you in ten months, but your benefactor’s elegance is still the same, so I’m relieved.”
Jiang Ran smiled at his words, and before he could open his mouth to speak, he saw that Tie Qingshan abruptly turn his horse’s head, and his legs clamped down on the horse’s belly:
“Stop them!!!”
Between his own words, he had already leaped out of the Temple of the Martial God along with the galloping horse.
All the people in Jianghu knew that Xuanyuan Yidao worshipped Shocking God Sword Jiang Ran.
The battle of Sunset Ping has also long been rumored in the jianghu.
At this moment, how could he still not know Jiang Ran’s identity?
This is on the Sunset Ping, one against two, beat the thirteen gangs of the two masters of one dead and one injured Shocking Divine Blade!
Today, not to mention himself, even if the Iron Cavalry League’s leader arrived in person, I’m afraid that he would only be able to run away with his life.
Therefore, after recognizing the identity of this person, his first reaction is to run!
Do not run today will certainly die!
And also run is also with the precepts.
Not casually run …… casually run words, people whether it is to capture the thief first, or by virtue of the Blood Sword Hall side of the crowded state, their own here do not occupy the advantage.
Therefore, he ran also had to throw down something.
Although he can’t apologize to them, he can only throw his own gang of brothers who were born to die here.
First borrow them to delay Jiang Ran and other people’s footsteps, and then borrow the crotch of a thousand miles of horse speed, in the twinkling of an eye far away from thousands of miles, only to have the opportunity to escape from death.
Thanks to his ability to steer the horse is far from ordinary people can be compared to, square inches, said to turn the head of the horse to turn the head of the horse, such as the arm of the finger, very handy.
Otherwise, ordinary people even if they thought of such a method, but not such a skill.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Yidao couldn’t help but break out in curses:
“Tie Qingshan, you are an old dog!
“Other than fleeing for your life with your tail between your legs, what else are you capable of?
“In the future, why don’t you just stop calling yourself the Iron Blood Thirteen Cavalry and call yourself the Bereaved Thirteen Dogs!
“Let’s change the Iron Cavalry Alliance to the Iron Dog Alliance!”
And with Tie Qingshan’s order, the remaining twelve people really did strike at the same time, wanting to stop Jiang Ran and the others from chasing after them.
But although this idea is good, but not wait for their moves to materialize, see a little stream of light swiftly from the crowd through and through.
Tie Qingshan this side just jumped out of the temple, galloping horse hooves have not yet landed, heard the back of the bad wind is not good, a turn around, see a large palm, has come to the face of the door before.
In this instant, it is too late to do more reaction, can only cross the arms in front of the chest.
But did not want to, the next moment Jiang Ran changed palm into claw, a break his frame, directly grabbed his chest lapel, flinging his hand will be directly from the horse body to yank up, high above the top, ruthless throw, hard to throw it to the Temple of the Martial God in the encirclement of the circle.
Jiang Ran himself landed on the back of the horse with one foot, a gentle pressure, this good horse will seem to have a mountain on its back, four hooves trembling and unable to move.
And right at this moment, a familiar voice entered Jiang Ran’s ears:
“Rabbit cub, where did you learn some messy crap?”
