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

Chapter 226 Unqualified
What happened at Ziyue Villa seemed to have grown wings, and it traveled to all parts of Dongjun Mansion in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, the world was shaken!

Since the demon sect was destroyed a hundred years ago, the Eighteen Heavenly Demons have appeared in the world from time to time.

But it is rare to make such a huge noise.

The Setting Sun Sect not only inherited a magic skill, but also acted arrogantly, killing fellow practitioners one after another.

This really caused public outrage.

Therefore, not only Dugu Xiong and Lin Wanyi wrote invitations, but also the masters mobilized rushed towards Ziyue Villa.

Many people heard the news and came to visit on their own.

So in just a few days, Ziyue Villa was already overcrowded.

It’s just what needs to be done and it doesn’t stop.

After all, Meng Huan died, and it was time for a funeral. The whole Ziyue Villa was hung with white silk ribbons. All the disciples of the family were wrapped in sackcloth, and the whole generation of his nephews also wore sackcloth and mourned.

The day for public planning of major events was set on the seventh day of Meng Huan's first year.

When the day came, early in the morning, Jiang Ran suddenly took Jingtan layman to visit Mrs. Meng.

……

……

The small courtyard is quiet and elegant.

Outside the yard, Jiang Ran glanced around casually:
"It turns out that the madam and the owner of the village have always lived in separate houses."

Jingtan layman heard this and glanced at Jiang Ran.

Looking up at the yard again, his eyes were a little complicated.

Just at this time, a maid came over and reported:
"Master Jiang, Madam invites you."

They came to visit early in the morning, so naturally they couldn't go in directly and had to let the maid go in to report.

After receiving a response at this time, Jiang Ran looked at Jingtan layman with a smile:
"How is the layman feeling?"

"..."

Jingtan layman said nothing, indicating that he did not want to talk.

Jiang Ran was even happier when he saw this, and smiled at the maid:
"Please sister, please lead the way."

The maid's face suddenly turned red.

Looking up at Jiang Ran, she saw Jiang Ran blinking at her.

In an instant, it was just a blush on the temples, but now it was completely red to the roots of the ears, and the neck was covered with clouds.

"well……"

The maid responded in a panic, then hurriedly turned around and walked towards the yard.

The speed was much faster than usual, as if there was some beast behind her trying to chase her.

Jiang Ran greeted quickly:

"Sister, walk slowly, I can't keep up."

"...Jiang Shaoxia."

Jingtan layman can't stand it anymore. You are a great master of martial arts and martial arts, but you can't keep up with a maid?
"it's okay no problem."

Jiang Ran smiled and said, "Tease her."

"..."

What are you teasing her about? ?

Jingtan layman vomited blood in his heart.

But Jiang Ran's performance next was quite normal.

He followed the maid into the courtyard.

There is a small pavilion in the small yard, with a pool and rockery on one side and goldfish in the water.

Mrs. Meng was standing in front of the small pavilion, waiting quietly.

She looked a little tired, she was wearing sackcloth and mourning, her face was pale, and her eyes were full of sadness.

He raised his head and looked at Jiang Ran, his eyes just paused, and then turned to Jingtan layman.

When their eyes met, Jingtan layman's eyes became more complicated.

The first person to look away was Mrs. Meng. After she moved away slightly, she said softly:
"Why did Hero Jiang come to visit so early in the morning?"

"Ma'am, what are you talking about? What would it look like if I came to visit you late at night?"

Jiang Ran came forward in one step, looked at Mrs. Meng and sighed:
"Madam, I'm afraid she's not having a good time these days."

When she heard his first words, Mrs. Meng should have been angry. After all, even though she didn't mean to tease him, there was still a hint of teasing in her words.

But after hearing what she said next, she felt a bit violent.

I can only sigh:
"The owner of the village died, so I, a living person, naturally feel sad...

"Master Jiang, sit down."

"Madam please."

Jiang Ran stretched out his arms as a guide and glanced at Jingtan layman again:
"Fathers, please sit down too."

Seeing this, Mrs. Meng pondered for a moment and then said to her left and right:
"You go down first."

The maids on the left and right looked at each other, agreed softly, then turned around and dispersed.

In the pavilion, in the blink of an eye, only Jiang Ran, Mrs. Meng and Jingtan layman were left.

Only then did Jingtan layman dare to speak:
"How have you... been doing these past few years?"

When Mrs. Meng heard these words, her expression changed somewhat.

After a long time, she slowly said one word:

"it is good."

This word, like a mountain, can weigh people down and make them breathless.

Jingtan layman's eyes suddenly turned red.

He lowered his head slightly and smiled as if he was mocking himself.

Then he raised his head and said:
"You wrote me a letter earlier, do you still remember?"

"……Remember."

Mrs. Meng said: "I am seriously ill and I don't have much time left. When I heard that Jiao Wei appeared, I wanted to have a look. I should have counted on Meng Huan for this matter... But, just..."

"It's just that he doesn't want to?"

Jiang Ran finished speaking for her.

Mrs. Meng nodded:
“Purple Moon Villa naturally has the Ziyue Villa’s way of establishing a world.

"Although there are many people in this world who like to join in the fun, they will run wherever there is trouble.

"But there are also people who know how to protect themselves wisely...

“Actually, strictly speaking, I am the former.

"Master Jiang may not know that my mentor is Xiao Wumei, the green sword among the two azure swords.

"I have practiced swordplay since I was a child. When I was young, I traveled around the world with my senior brothers, punishing evil and promoting good."

"kindness."

Jiang Ran said: "I know that Madam's senior brother is Tianlong Divine Sword Gu Xizhi."

"Dr. Jiang has met my senior brother?"

Mrs. Meng seemed a little surprised.

Jiang Ran twitched his brows:
"It seems that Madam still doesn't know that Senior Gu is currently at Ziyue Villa."

"what?"

Mrs. Meng suddenly looked at Jingtan layman.

Jingtan layman nodded gently:

"He was injured and it is difficult to see people. He has been recovering in the small yard..."

"Injured..."

Mrs. Meng’s eyes were filled with despair:

"How could he be hurt? Yes, he has always been a soft-hearted person. Even when facing a heinous person, as long as the other person truly repented, he would be willing to give him a chance.

"He must have been deceived again, and then...he was injured...

"His injury must be extremely serious, otherwise, he would not have stopped coming to see me.

"He... how is he?"

Looking up again, Mrs. Meng's eyes were filled with tears.

Jiang Ran admired secretly in his heart, then smiled and said:
"Madam, please don't worry too much. I'm also familiar with Qihuang's art. The injury of the ancient senior needs more care. It's not a serious problem. It's just that I can't get up or go down for a while."

"It's nothing serious, then...that's good."

When Mrs. Meng said this, she couldn't help but glance at Jingtan layman again.

He turned his head slightly and sighed.

Jingtan layman was also silent.

Both sides were speechless. Jiang Ran looked at this and that, and had no choice but to untie a box behind him and place it on the stone table in the middle of the pavilion.

"Mrs. Meng... I have been entrusted by Gu Xizhi, the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword, the Jingtan layman of Yaxin Xiaozhu, to lend you this Jiaowei Qin for a few days to enjoy."

"what?"

Mrs. Meng, who was originally silent, seemed to be stunned again after hearing this.

She looked at Jiang Ran blankly, and then at Jiao Wei in front of her.

"Jiaowei? Isn't it already lost?"

"It's not lost. It's just a little trick on Sunset Ping. Use this trick to hide it from the sky and cross the sea, so that the Jiaowei can stay in my hands.

"But before this, I promised Jingtan layman and Senior Gu that I would lend Jiaowei to Madam.

"So our group came to Ziyue Villa as guests.

"Speaking of which... this matter doesn't seem to be as secretive as I imagined. There is no airtight wall under the sky.

"On the night when Master Meng's accident happened, someone secretly came to my room and wanted to steal this piano.

"Unfortunately, I was not asleep at the time, so I followed the man.

“Listening to what they are saying, it seems like there is a way to unlock the secret of Jiaowei… I don’t know if it’s true or not.

"When I wanted to listen carefully, they discovered me."

Jiang Ran sighed: "It's a pity. I may be the person closest to Jiao Wei's truth in this thousand years. It's such a pity..."

"There is such a thing!"

Mrs. Meng's face was full of shock.

Jingtan layman glanced at Jiang Ran and said thoughtfully: "That night when the Setting Sun Gate broke into Ziyue Villa, someone wanted to steal your Jiaowei.

"Isn't it a bit too coincidental?"

"Let's talk about these things later."

Jiang Ran waved his hand:

“I came here today, for no other reason than to fulfill my promise that day.

"This Jiaowei will be given to Madam to enjoy, but Madam must remember not to play.

"The burnt tail is dangerous, and anyone who plays it carelessly will die.

"Well, as for the deadline...

"Tomorrow, Madam will return it to me. I just hope Madam won't blame me for being stingy and will only borrow it for one day. I wonder what Madam wants?"

"Of course it's good."

Mrs. Meng said quickly: "The Jiaowei is a twelve-day skill that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is something that ordinary people cherish so much that they would not show it to others. I am already very satisfied that Master Jiang is willing to keep his promise and lend me the Jiaowei for a whole day." Well, I'm so grateful. How can I dislike the lack of time..."

"It's okay, Madam, if you don't mind."

Jiang Ran stood up: "Today's meeting, my wife, as a widow, also has to attend. Jiang still has to prepare some things, so I won't bother my wife and take my leave..."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Jingtan layman again:
"Do you want to talk some more?"

"..."

Jingtan layman looked at Jiang Ran with a dark face.

You're gone, why should I stay here?
"If we don't talk, we won't talk. I'm not thinking about it...forget it, let's go."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.

Mrs. Meng quickly called the maid to come over and see off the guests.

It was the same little maid whom Jiang Ran teased before, trotting behind Jiang Ran and Jingtan layman.

Jiang Ran still smiled at her until she was sent out of the hospital:
"You still don't know your sister's name?"

"Master Jiang, stop making fun of the tares..."

The little girl was so teased by Jiang Ran that she didn't dare to raise her head.

Jingtan layman couldn't stand it any longer and waved his sleeves:
"The old man went back first."

"Walk slowly, slowly, and I'll talk to her again."

Jiang Ran didn't even raise his head.

Jingtan layman was stunned. He never expected that Jiang Ran would be so shameless.

He was also amazed for a moment, but he had a lot of things on his mind today and didn't want to get into any more entanglements, so he snorted and turned around to leave.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Ran and the maid were left in front of the courtyard gate.

Jiang Ran withdrew his eyes from behind Jingtan layman, and then raised his head to look at the little girl with a red face:
"Sister, please come here and I'll tell you a few words of respect..."

……

……

East County Government Office.

Today the sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly.

In the study room, Zhao Riming, the governor of Dongjun Prefecture, was lowering his head to deal with government affairs.

His writing is quick and easy, and his attitude is rigorous.

After finishing the matter at hand and stretching his back, he suddenly seemed to remember something.

When he looked up, he saw a sallow-faced young man not far away, sitting there with a knife in his arms, as if he was carving a stone with an axe.

"Strong man."

Zhao Riming spoke softly.

"Does your lord have any orders?"

Li Tianxin looked back and spoke in a calm voice.

Zhao Riming shook his head gently:
"Just saying, you don't have to sit here all the time."

"Entrusted by others, loyal to others."

Li Tianxin pursed his lips:

"Since he asked me to protect you, I should naturally protect you personally and not slack off for a moment."

"Hey……"

Zhao Riming was speechless for a moment.

A few days ago, a man named Li Tianxin suddenly held a knife order and a handwritten letter from Tian Xiwen, saying that he suspected that someone would be unfavorable to him in the recent days.

However, a big event is about to happen at Ziyue Villa, and they dare not leave their hands easily.

Therefore, we can only entrust this person to protect us.

There is both a knife arrest order and Tian Xiwen's letter.

Zhao Riming naturally did not doubt Li Tianxin's origins, but...in the past few days, this strong man Li had been really meticulous, always on guard, and always on guard.

This made Zhao Riming somewhat uncomfortable.

Fortunately, he has a sense of propriety in doing things, so he reluctantly accepted it.

But he also felt that this man seemed to be working hard without rest. Since he admired this man for keeping his word and keeping his promise, he naturally couldn't bear it, so he always wanted to let him take a rest.

As a result, he refused to listen.

He could only sigh and said:

“There is nothing going on in the house now, maybe everything is just too much to think about.

“Although the Can Yang Clan’s crimes are unforgivable, they may not dare to be so bold as to assassinate this official.

"You protect me so sleeplessly, which makes me feel really guilty.

"Moreover, to put it another way, even if they really dare to come, they will just wait and see. You haven't had a good rest for many days, how much martial arts can you use?
"In my opinion, you should go and rest for a while. If something really happens, I will find someone to call you."

Li Tianxin smiled:

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Fu Yin, but if something really happens, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to find me."

"This……"

Zhao Riming was silent for a moment.

He is a civil servant through and through and knows nothing about martial arts.

This is different from Yin Guo Chong of Cangzhou Prefecture at that time.

Guo Chong was born in the military. At that time, the incident in Feiyun Village had already aroused the suspicion of the court, so he was made the governor.

In the final analysis, it is just a stopgap measure.

Therefore, after the Feiyunzhai incident was over, Guo Chong was transferred away and replaced by a serious civil servant as the governor.

If a master really assassinated Zhao Riming, Zhao Riming would probably be unable to do anything other than shout "Ah".

"In that case..."

Zhao Riming was about to continue speaking.

Li Tianxin suddenly raised his head, his eyes changed color, and the next moment, a figure suddenly burst into the room.

Before Zhao Riming could react, what happened.

There was a flash of light from the sword, followed by two dings, and then a bang.

Zhao Riming just had time to raise his head.

He saw that Li Tianxin had already grabbed a man in black by the neck with one hand and pressed him against the wall.

It seemed that he wanted to press for something, but before Li Tianxin could say anything, he saw the man in black suddenly opened his mouth, and the black scarf covering his face flickered. Li Tianxin tilted his head, and Zhao Riming felt as if there was a flash of silver light, but he didn't. Can't see clearly what it is.

Li Tianxin pulled off his black scarf at this time, and saw that the man in black had no tongue in his mouth, but had installed a strange mechanism, which looked shocking.

"Dead man?"

Li Tianxin frowned slightly, then with a flash of sword light, a human head fell to the ground.

At the same time, exclamations of surprise were heard from everywhere in the government office.

Zhao Riming's expression darkened:
"How brave! You actually dare to come! Master Li, follow me out!"

Li Tianxin was stunned:
"What are you doing out there, sir?"

"In broad daylight, in the clear sky, I, as the governor of Dongjun Prefecture, have enemies coming to kill me. How can I sit in the hall and let my men be slaughtered wantonly?

"You can do all kinds of things this night, why should I be afraid!?"

Zhao Riming straightened his clothes and then looked at Li Tianxin:

"What's more, Li Zhuangshi is so powerful in martial arts, why are you afraid of him?"

Li Tianxin looked at Zhao Riming, and after a long time he nodded deeply:

"Okay! What you say makes sense, why are you and I afraid of him?

"Let's go out!"

Zhao Riming nodded deeply and took one step towards the outside of the study.

Pushing open the door, he strode into the yard.

With a steady pace, he spoke:
"He Fang Xiaoxiao, my officer Zhao Riming is here, why don't you show up?"

Along with the sound of his words, there was also a tinkling sound.

This is because the moment he walked out of the yard, hidden weapons kept flying around him.

However, Li Tianxin intercepted them all with a single sword.

But at this moment, Zhao Riming's back never bent, his eyes never flinched, and his voice was loud and full of energy!

"Good, good, good!"

A voice suddenly came from the wall on one side.

I saw men in black appearing around one after another.

Among these people, some were holding a human head in their hands, while others were dragging a still alive government servant.

Eyes from all directions were cast towards Zhao Riming, and then a man in black spoke softly:
"I have long heard about the name of Zhao Riming from Dongjun Prefecture. Today, when I saw him, he was indeed extraordinary. He is indeed a strong-willed man.

"Seeing you like this, I can't bear to kill you. In this way, I will give you a chance. Kneel down, enter my Can Yang Sect, practice my way, and become my official.

"I can spare your life!"

"What a setting sun gate..."

Li Tianxin took a step forward: "Have you never taken me in your eyes?"

"Li Tianxin?"

The leading man in black glanced at him and shook his head slightly:

"If Jiang Ran were here, I would be afraid of him. You...are not qualified."
