Martial Arts: Gain a Jiazi internal force at the beginning!

Chapter 168 Brother-in-law, I'm Scared

The footsteps outside came suddenly.

What Jiang Ran and Dao Wuming originally planned to say stopped right there.

Immediately afterwards, a voice was heard:
"A traveler is passing by here and wants to stay overnight. Is it convenient for the host's house?"

Jiang Ran frowned slightly:

"Did you see a ghost today? Why do every sound sound familiar to you?"

Tang Hua Yi is thoughtful:
"It sounds familiar to me..."

Ruan Yuqing glanced at the two of them:
"This voice sounds like it's Cheng Tianyang, the chief escort of the Tianyang Escort Agency."

After saying this, Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi were both stunned.

At the same time, the rickety old man had already taken a step forward and pushed open the door of the post:
"Where are you officials from?"

There was still a group of people in the house whose identities had not been verified, and now another group came to the yard.

This made the rickety old man's attitude become obviously more irritable.

Jiang Ran glanced at the old man with a strange expression, then looked past him to the group of people standing outside the door.

This group of people was obviously stunned by the rickety old man's question.

The leader stood in the raindrops that had just fallen with his hands clasped in fists, his eyes a little confused.

It was Cheng Tianyang who had met once in Hongfeng Villa that day.

After the Shi Pingzhang incident at Hongfeng Villa was over, Jiang Ran once entrusted him to go to Cangzhou Mansion to deliver the dowry that Liu Wenshan and Ye Konggu had prepared for their daughters.

Farewell, we will meet again now.

Only this time, Cheng Tianyang was not alone.

There were carriages around, six in total.

On each carriage, there were three or four large boxes. The boxes had seals on them and seemed to be sealed very tightly.

Next to the carriage are all the bodyguards, bodyguard heads, and troopers of the Tianyang Bodyguard Bureau.

Now I am setting up a pergola and looking into the house.

Cheng Tianyang didn't know the basics or details and was about to speak.

Then I heard a familiar voice coming from the house:

"It turns out to be Mr. Cheng. Long time no see. Where are you planning to go on business this time?"

Cheng Tianyang was stunned, and when he looked up, he saw Jiang Ran pressing the knife with his hand and slowly stepping forward.

When their eyes met, she gave him a wink.

Cheng Tianyang is the chief escort of the escort agency. He is experienced in the world and his experience is beyond comparison with ordinary people.

Hearing the words, he was thoughtful immediately, although he didn't know the specific details, but Jiang Ran had said this out, as if to let himself cooperate, he said with a smile:

"Isn't this Brother Jiang? We really meet each other everywhere in life.

"To be honest... I am going to Changqing Mansion on this trip to escort a group of... ordnance.

"I didn't expect to meet Brother Jiang here."

It's unexpected, but it's not surprising at all.

The news that Jiang Ran was going to hold a tea-tasting and piano-tasting conference in Sunset Ping had long been rumored in the world.

Tianyang Escort Agency is not interested in such things.

However, someone entrusted them with escorting escorts to Changqing Mansion, so of course they had to come.

I didn't expect to meet Jiang Ran and the others in Qiuciyi.

The stooped old man was taken aback when he heard the two people's conversation:
"What? Is Changqing Mansion going to fight someone?
"Did the Li Kingdom invade? Or is the Qing Kingdom still obsessed with evil? Oh my, the War of the Five Kingdoms has just subsided for a few years, so why is there another war?"

When he said this, he rubbed his hands together vigorously, seeming to be anxious and circling all over the floor.

But in the end he sighed:

"Put your things away first. Military items cannot be careless.

"Come in, come in and talk."

Cheng Tianyang glanced at Jiang Ran with an unclear look.

Jiang Ran nodded slightly.

Cheng Tianyang then waved his hand, and his men behind him began to dump things.

Unloading the cart, unsaddling the horse, and tying up the horse are a set of procedures that are quite troublesome.

After they were settled, the rickety old man forgot to tell Wuming and the others that their identities had not yet been verified.

Later, the old man asked Cheng Tianyang what they wanted to eat, and he went to the kitchen to make a fool of himself.

Cheng Tianyang was even more careful than Jiang Ran and directly stated that they had brought dry food and water, so they could just take a bite.

The old man didn't worry too much and just nodded:
“We raise some chickens and ducks in the back yard, and we also store some wine in the cellar.

“If you like it, just go and get it yourself.

“When you go to bed at night, lock the doors and windows.

“This world, I don’t know when it started, has been unstable...

"So, don't run around at night.

“There’s a chance you’ll come across something unclean.”

He was already very good-looking, and when he said this, he really frightened the few timid people present.

Of course, the most hopeless one is Tang Huayi.

She swallowed, and forcefully supported the mask of 'Li Tianxin', pretending to be proud and said:
"You old man, don't talk nonsense. Where are the monsters and monsters in this world?"

Li Tianyu nodded repeatedly:
"What my brother said is true, not to mention that there is nothing. Even if it is true, my brother's sword skills are not simple. I should destroy ghosts and slay gods, let them see what the blade of the right path in the world is!"

Tang Huayi immediately glanced at Li Tianyu.

I said in my heart that if I look at a place with no one around, I will kill you with a knife.

Jiang Ran was happy when he heard this. Seeing that the old man wanted to talk, he smiled and said:

"Old man, let's go to rest first, we will take care of what you ordered, and we won't run around at night.

"Wait until tomorrow morning, and we will leave."

"it is good."

The old man nodded upon hearing the words:

"Then eat early, and after eating, rest early... Hey, I am getting old. I feel sleepy at night and the cock crows. I can't make a living anymore."

As he spoke, he took the oil lamp and went out the door.

With my hands, I managed to protect myself from the wind and rain, and the bean-sized fire gradually faded away.

"What's the matter with this man?"

After the old man left, Dao Wuming couldn't help but ask:
"Qiuciyi Xiaosheng remembers that it has been abandoned for a long time. Where did this person come from?"

"You asked me, and I want to ask you."

Jiang Ran shook his head slightly: "Your identity is not simple. You probably travel in various inns. Have you ever met this person when you passed through this place in the past?"

Dao Wuming shook his head decisively:
"Such an honor, if Xiaosheng has the opportunity to see it, how can he forget it?"

"What's going on? Brother Jiang, isn't this old man from the station?"

Cheng Tianyang also took a step forward at this time:
"Speaking of which, Cheng also heard about the fact that Qiuciyi was abandoned a long time ago. Therefore, this route was just drawn up...

“But I didn’t expect that when we came today, not only were you here, but there was also an old man asking us what our official positions were.

"It really surprised me."

When Jiang Ran heard this, his expression was a little strange:
"Everyone just heard about the situation in Qiuciyi?"

Dao Wuming nodded:
"I've never been here, so I just heard about it."

"Escorts travel around the world and travel everywhere. Although there are familiar routes, there are also places that have never been before... To be honest, this is really the first time for Cheng to come to this place."

Cheng Tianyang also said that he had never been here before.

Jiang Ran tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and glanced at Feng Wu and Ning Jiuyuan:
"What about the two?"

Feng Wu snorted:
"I've passed by this place before, but I didn't come in."

Speak nicely, why are you humming?

The second 'Li Tianxin'?

Jiang Ran was speechless for a moment.

But Ning Jiuyuan smiled and said:

"Jiang Shaoxia doesn't know something, the environment here is not good, and there have been some strange stories.

"so……

“Although we travel around the world, we often don’t pay attention to such strange things, but we still have to take precautions.

“That’s why few people stay here.

"If the weather hadn't been bad tonight, we wouldn't have come here."

"Strange stories?"

Tang Huayi fully expresses what it means to be less courageous and more curious, while people are more addicted to food:

"What weird stories?"

"It's all speculation."

Ning Jiuyuan thought for a moment and said:
"About seven or eight years ago, several murders occurred in Qiuciyi.

"At that time, it was said that officials from the capital passed by and stayed overnight... When I woke up the next day, my head was missing, and an entourage who was traveling with me was also missing.

"This matter was quite a fuss. It is said that Long Yan was furious and immediately ordered Qiuci County to thoroughly investigate the case.

"But since then, the police officers who come to investigate the case and the officials who pass through this place often encounter unexpected events.

“Also, the circumstances of death are miserable.

“Most of them had their heads missing, and some simply disappeared without a trace.

"Some people even swore that when they lived in Qiuciyi, they saw a headless ghost floating outside Qiuciyi. People who saw him would ask, 'Have you ever seen my head?'."

"This is getting more and more serious, and some people even say that if you answer 'I haven't seen it'.

"He would say, 'My head is on your neck, isn't it?' and then forcefully take the head away.

"If you answer 'yes,' he will ask you to take him to find his head.

"Then you just need to take him in circles, and when the rooster crows and dawn, he will disappear...

"However, most of these are just lies. Many people say they have seen it, but in fact they are spreading rumors. They are all untrustworthy.

"However, there are frequent accidents here, and people are still panicking.

"Qiuci Post was forced to relocate and built a new post station twenty miles away.

"Since then, this place has gradually become less popular."

When Tang Huayi heard this, she grabbed the knife in her hand and said to Jiang Ran:
"In my opinion, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time..."

Ruan Yuqing nodded again and again:
"It's exactly what Brother Li said." "..."

Jiang Ran was speechless for a while: "That happened seven or eight years ago. Come to think of it, even if there was someone who was pretending to be here, they would have gone long ago. Besides, doesn't the old man live well? Don't scare yourself. .

"Rushing on a rainy night is the most dangerous thing.

"Eat first. After eating, have a good night's rest. Be more alert tonight. Even if there is really a problem, I don't think we may be able to do anything to you and me."

Hearing what Jiang Ran said, Tang Huayi could only secretly exhale and nodded while suppressing fear.

Feng Wu glanced at her, a little puzzled:

"Brother, as a grown man, are you still afraid of these nonsense?"

"I……"

Tang Huayi immediately sneered: "Absurd!"

Feng Wu also sneered, but did not continue to provoke. He just glanced at Jiang Ran.

It has the meaning of 'although your martial arts are high, but the people around you are not good'.

Jiang Ran ignored him and invited everyone to eat.

It's just that the food cooked is not too much, it is enough for Jiang Ran and his party to eat and drink, so it is not a big problem for Dao Wuming and the others to barely have a few bites.

But if Cheng Tianyang and others were included, it would not be enough.

Fortunately, Cheng Tianyang and the others had no intention of coming over to eat or drink.

Even if they are escorting the escort, they should feel free to eat their own food. Moreover, there are many rules for escorting the escort, and they are not allowed to drink alcohol when going out.

So this meal was very relaxing.

They didn't even say much to each other. At best, they just introduced Jiang Ran to the escort heads in Tianyang Escort Bureau.

After finishing the meal, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Qiuciyi has not been taken care of for many years, so the room is naturally not very clean.

Jiang Ran tidied it up a little, and then it was barely habitable.

After a day of tossing, he put on his clothes and lay down on the couch. The rain outside was more like a hypnotic chapter, making him fall asleep quickly.

It's just that his merits are performed internally and his spirit is felt externally.

Even though he is soundly asleep, he can wake up instantly if there is even the slightest movement from the outside world.

In the blink of an eye, he fell asleep until midnight.

Jiang Ran suddenly opened his eyes.

Then he looked at the door.

He heard the door click, and someone was trying to pry the bolt of his door.

This man was quick with his hands and feet, and he quickly pried open the door bolt.

A figure sneaked in sneakily.

He turned around and closed the door again.

Then he took small steps and came to Jiang Ran's side.

When Jiang Ran saw this figure, he knew it was Tang Huayi.

So he simply closed his eyes and fell asleep, wanting to see what this girl was planning to do.

As a result, the skin and flesh on her face suddenly fluctuated, and the flesh and blood jumped. When she recovered, she turned into Tang Huayi's delicate little face.

She took a cautious look at Jiang Ran:
"You are my brother-in-law after all. If I stay with you for just a night, you are not going to tell my sister, right?"

When she said this, her figure seemed to be deflated, her height suddenly dropped, and her originally fitting clothes became much larger.

Her chest was even more bulging, which made her frown slightly, feeling very uncomfortable.

He reached out and poked Jiang Ran's arm gently:

"I'm here, and you still haven't opened your eyes? I don't believe you didn't notice."

Jiang Ran opened his eyes and glanced at her:
"What's there to see in the dark? By the way, you are my sister-in-law. You ran into my brother-in-law's room in the middle of the night and wanted to do something evil... How should I, Mr. Tang, and your sister explain it at that time?
"Are you two planning to marry me together?"

"I dare to marry, do you dare to marry?"

How could Tang Huayi be defeated by Jiang Ran's mere words as a little witch from the Demon Cult?

He just turned his back on guests and sat down on Jiang Ran's bedside without saying a word. He lay down and pushed him in:
"Brother-in-law, I'm scared.

"Make room for me."

"..."

Jiang Ran was speechless for a while: "Who is it..."

"Your sister-in-law."

"Don't say it yet, it's really exciting to hear you say that."

"Man... bah."

Tang Huayi snorted: "How could I have come here if I was too scared?"

"Then you go find Ruan Yuqing."

"I went to find Li Tianxin in front of her? Are you out of your mind?"

"Then go find Luo Qingyi."

"But I am a girl after all. Aren't you afraid that he will take advantage of me?"

"What advantages do you have that others should take advantage of?"

Jiang Ran laughed mercilessly.

"What did you say!?"

Tang Huayi proudly raised her chest.

"...It hasn't bloomed yet, so just stop and stop."

"Who are you talking about!?"

Tang Huayi was furious: "Have you ever seen someone who looks as good as me?"

This problem stumped Jiang Ran for a while.

He had naturally seen it before traveling here.

After all, there are still a lot of teaching materials stored in the computer, although now they have probably become the murder weapon for him.

But after all, he is well-informed...

But after traveling through time, he really hadn't seen much of it.

However, if the loser does not lose the battle, how can Jiang Ran be defeated like this?

Immediately sneered:
"I'm afraid you don't understand me. I've seen a lot. Is there anything I haven't seen?"

"Is it Ye Jingshuang?"

"...Don't talk nonsense, she and I are innocent."

"I've given you all the tokens of love, but I still want to be innocent. Go ahead and lie to a man's mouth."

Tang Huayi curled her lips: "That's not Ye Jingshuang, who else could it be?"

When she said this, she suddenly wanted to laugh:

"It can't be that old courtesan who is more than 30 years older than you, with a gorgeous face and a face as white as a wall, right?"

"... Is the old drunkard crazy? Even tell you such details?"

Jiang Ran's eyes widened.

"That's natural. Ever since you were a kid, what's the one thing that he hasn't told us clearly?

“Nothing is too small or too small, and everything is always taken care of.

"So, you may be extremely strange to us, but we are...most familiar with you."

Jiang Ran was silent for a while, and it was precisely because of this unequal familiarity that people felt uneasy.

He sighed softly and added:
"That old courtesan is probably 20 years older than me. 30 is still an exaggeration."

"So, you really think she's better than me?"

Tang Huayi was surprised.

"As a sister-in-law, lying on the same bed with my brother-in-law, discussing this kind of issue...

"Tang Huayi, do you still have any sense of shame?"

Jiang Ran was somewhat annoyed.

"whee……"

Tang Huayi suddenly laughed:
"Brother-in-law, you seem to be afraid of me.

"Are you nervous? I am a demon sect witch, how can I have any shame? Brother-in-law, if you want to, I can't do it."

"...If you keep talking nonsense, I will throw you out and see who is more afraid."

As he spoke, he grabbed Tang Huayi's collar and was about to throw her off the bed.

Tang Huayi was surprised. He didn't expect Jiang Ran to be so ignorant of compassion.

A beauty like himself has already climbed onto his bed, yet he still has the heart to drive her down.

He immediately held him tightly:
"Don't, don't, don't, I was wrong. I was wrong. Can't you do that? Brother-in-law...you, just spare me once...you can't bear to see your beautiful sister-in-law having her head taken off by that headless ghost." Bar?

"That's too ugly..."

When she said this, she suddenly felt that Jiang Ran's strength disappeared.

I thought my words moved him.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"It's better to be brother-in-law..."

"Silence."

Jiang Ran looked solemn and looked at the window with a frown.

Tang Huayi saw his expression was different and couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat:
"What's wrong? The headless ghost is out?"

"It's coming out, but...it has a head."

Jiang Ran stood up, holding the hopeless Tang Huayi in one hand as he came to the window.

Gently pushing open a gap, I saw a figure running wildly in the rainy night:

"Is it Feng Wu?"

……

……

ps: On the last day of this month, please ask for monthly tickets.

It’s so uncomfortable. I really feel like the sickness comes like a mountain and goes away like a thread... I hope I will be healthy tomorrow.
