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

Chapter 239 Guzhang County

Whether or not Ke Beisheng did what happened to the Zhao family is irrelevant.

He was able to withstand heavy pursuits and become an old man from a young man, and he even managed to gain the reputation of a strange old man.

You can imagine that it is not easy to meet this person.

After Jiang Ran finished speaking, neither Dong Qingcheng nor Ye Jingxue felt that Ke Beisheng could agree.

However, Ke Beisheng pondered for a long time and actually reached out and took the bottle.

Open the lid, raise your head and swallow the pill inside.

Then he kowtowed heavily and said loudly:
"The world slanders me as a devil, but only the young master is willing to give me a chance to defend myself.

"Ke Beisheng is willing to follow the young master!"

Jiang Ran glanced at him twice. If he was just starting out, he might have believed this sentence directly.

But now the more experiences in the world, the more complicated his mind becomes.

It is already difficult to trust others.

This is not to say that what Ke Beisheng said is false, but it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood in this world. What you say is not important, but what you do is important.

Jiang Ran nodded slightly:

"it is good."

Then he looked up at the others present:
"What do you think?"

At this point, the question was actually somewhat unnecessary. He had already taken care of it, so who had the right to comment?
Dong Qingcheng nodded:
"Everything depends on Master Jiang."

"That's good."

Jiang Ran smiled.

Ye Jingxue couldn't help but say:
"I haven't spoken yet..."

"You listen to me."

Jiang Ran glanced at her.

Ye Jingxue was speechless for a long time, feeling that Jiang Ran really didn't treat her as an outsider.

Afterwards, Jiang Ran unlocked Ke Beisheng's acupuncture points and pushed him through the blood.

Even though Jiang Ran's punch seemed to just pin him to the ground, the power of the Vajra Demon Subduing Fist had actually penetrated his muscles and bones. If he didn't understand the meaning, these injuries would inevitably break out gradually in the past few days, and it would be completely hopeless. .

Now that Jiang Ran is helping to take care of things, there will be no problem.

After finishing this matter, everyone gathered together to explain the reason.

Lie Dao Sect is going to Jinyang Mansion this time because it was sent by the master sect.

The reason is very simple. There are several old demons who have been around for many years and have reappeared in Jinyang Mansion in recent days. Therefore, the master sent them to investigate.

It’s not just Lie Dao Sect. According to Dong Qingcheng, this trip is not a small matter.

In addition to Lie Dao Sect, people from the other six sects and even Dao Yizong will also be present.

Before leaving, the master's sect ordered them to meet up in Guzhang County within Jinyang Mansion, and then rush to Jinyang Mansion together.

Jiang Ran looked at the map and knew that Guzhang County was only three days away from Jinyang Mansion.

It is indeed a relatively close place.

However, the seven sects were scattered from north to south, east to west, and Liedaomen's side first went to Guzhang and then to Jinyang.

But some sects go to Jinyang first and then to Guzhang.

It would be a waste of time to bypass Jinyang Mansion and take another three days to meet up in Guzhang County.

Focusing on this, it makes people feel that there are some problems in Guzhang County itself.

However, Jiang Ran did not explain this matter clearly, he just nodded:
"I happen to have something to go to Jinyang Mansion. If you are willing, we can go together for a while."

Dong Qingcheng agreed immediately, as if he was afraid that Jiang Ran would retaliate.

While he was talking, he heard a muffled groan from someone in the Lie Knife Sect. It was the injured person before. Dong Qingcheng had pushed him into the palace to bleed, but now it seemed that he still couldn't suppress it.

"Junior Brother Zhou."

Dong Qingcheng's expression changed and he came forward to feel his pulse.

Others looked at Ke Beisheng angrily.

Ke Beisheng stood with his hands behind his hands and snorted:
"What are you looking at? Old Liehuo almost killed me. I was just venting my anger on his disciples, and I didn't really kill you..."

"Hmph, Moli Weisou has a great reputation, but he is as timid as a mouse.

"The Patriarch has a grudge against you. You don't dare to look for the Patriarch. You only dare to cause trouble for us juniors."

Finally someone couldn't help but retorted.

But one sentence touched Ke Beisheng's sore spot.

Grandmaster Liehuo's knife back then really made him worse than death, and he suffered for many years.

To this day, I still have attacks of fire poison from time to time, causing splitting headaches.

Not only did this knife almost kill him, it also left him with a huge psychological shadow. Although his martial arts had improved over the years, he still did not dare to seek revenge from Grandmaster Liehuo.

Now that the junior from the Fierce Sword Sect had taken off the fig leaf with just one sentence, he suddenly felt that he couldn't keep it on his face.

There was murderous intent in his eyes:
"Do you dare to say what you just said again?"

The people of the Fierce Knife Sect also have fierce temperaments, and soft words can calm them down. Once the tempers are intensified, the flames can seduce people.

The young man immediately sneered, and just as he was about to speak, Jiang Ran shouted softly:
"enough."

"Hero Jiang..."

The disciple of the Lie Knife Sect glanced at Jiang Ran, took a deep breath, and suppressed his anger.

Jiang Ran glanced at Ke Beisheng and shook his head gently:

"There is nothing wrong in what they said. If you are angry and unjust, you can go and seek revenge against the Patriarch of Fire. If you have nothing to do with his disciples, it is not only meaningless, but also a loss of status.

"Did this brother fall into your trap?"

Ke Beisheng could show his teeth to the members of the Fierce Knife Sect, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous with Jiang Ran.

Immediately he nodded honestly:

"Exactly, he was hit by my [three-section pulse-locking finger], and if the finger force lingers, he will suffer unbearable pain.

"This finger force is my unique technique. It is difficult for others to relieve it. It will take seven days for the pain to dissipate on its own."

"Possibly untied?"

"Naturally."

Jiang Ran looked at Dong Qingcheng after hearing this:
"Brother Dong, let's not worry about what happened back then.

"Now that Ke Beisheng is sitting down with me, for my sake, please give him a chance to resolve this grudge.

"What would Brother Dong think if one day the truth about the past is revealed and we can discuss matters as they happen?"

Dong Qingcheng frowned when he heard this.

It feels like Jiang Ran has taken advantage of everything he said...

Now that Ke Beisheng is under Jiang Ran's seat, the past can no longer be ignored.

In the future, if what happened back then is revealed to the world, they will still have to settle the accounts...

But then I thought about it, if what happened back then was really at fault for the Lie Dao Sect, or maybe the world was unfair to him, Ke Beisheng.

Then what he has endured over the years was not what he deserved.

It is understandable that people want to settle the score.

Immediately he sighed:
"Listen to Master Jiang."

"Well, Ke Beisheng, go and untie him."

Jiang Ran said.

"Yes."

Hearing this, Ke Beisheng clasped his fists in agreement and came to the Fierce Sword Sect disciple.

Under the eager gazes of a group of young people, he casually nodded his finger at the Fierce Sword Sect disciple.

The man's pale face suddenly turned red.

However, this finger was not the end. After clicking seven fingers in total, everything ended.

The man may have been in pain for a long time, but now that the severe pain was gone, he fell asleep.

Ke Beisheng put his hands behind his back and stood behind Jiang Ran.

After such a small episode, no one continued talking.

Now the night is getting darker and everyone is starting to take a rest.

Jiang Ran sat beside the fire, pulling at it to make the flames burn more intensely.

Tang Huayi was lying not far away from him. From time to time he opened one eye and glanced at the opposite side of Jiang Ran. Sitting there was Ye Jingxue.

Ye Jingxue hugged her legs and sat tiredly on the ground with her chin on her knees. She was clearly staring at the flames, but in fact her eyes never left Jiang Ran.

When Jiang Ran looked up occasionally, she pretended not to look at him.

Jiang Ran laughed dumbly and said softly:
"If you want to know anything, you can ask me."

"……many."

Ye Jingxue thought for a moment and then said:

"But, I don't know where to start asking."

"Then think about it."

"How did you and my sister meet?"

Ye Jingxue finally thought of the beginning of everything.

Jiang Ran looked up at the darkness outside the Taoist temple and remembered that night.

The girl who was in a mess and covered in blood told Ye Jingxue what she saw when she broke into the ruined temple.

Of course, he didn't say that he asked Ye Jingshuang whether he was robbing money or sex.

Jiang Ran also started chatting and recalled every bit of the time since he and Ye Jingshuang got acquainted.

They met for the first time in a ruined temple, saw things in a tea shop, parted ways in Cangzhou, met again at galloping horses, and finally went their separate ways after a good gathering at Hongfeng Villa.

Ye Jingxue listened with great interest, and finally sighed:

“If something hadn’t happened to my sister’s mentor, I might have been able to see her today.

"Brother Jiang, thank you for saving her.

"A long time had passed when the news of the accident at home reached my ears. "Although I wanted to go down the mountain immediately, the master refused.

"It is said that my parents and relatives have been buried by my sister. Even if I return to Hongfeng Villa, I won't see anything.

"He also said that this matter is deep and complicated. It's not just Tong Wanli and Wuxin Guifu mentioned in my sister's letter, but there is also a bigger shadow hanging behind it.

“If I want to take revenge on Hongfeng Villa, I should come to Jinyang Mansion.

“When the great revenge is avenged, then we can go back to pay homage to the descendants of the Ye family.

“That’s why…I have this career now.

"I didn't expect that I would meet you just right."

Jiang Ran smiled and shook his head:

"You're not too polite to pretend to be your sister when we meet?"

Ye Jingxue smiled:

"I've heard your name so much that my ears grew numb. As soon as I saw the jade pendant on your waist today and heard your Shuang'er call so affectionately, I naturally recognized your identity.

“Then I wanted to know if you could recognize that I’m not your sister.

“I didn’t expect that you would actually recognize me.

“But now that I think about it, I don’t think it’s strange anymore… You have experienced so many things together, so you must be very familiar with each other.

“Unlike my father… he never sees my sister and me all year round.

"From now on... we will never see you again."

When she said this, her expression became sad. Maybe the tears she should shed had already been shed, or maybe she didn't shed tears because she didn't want to cry in front of Jiang Ran, a familiar stranger.

Jiang Ran was silent for a moment, and did not speak to comfort him. He just added a piece of firewood to make the flame burn a little more vigorously, and then said:
"Get some rest early."

Ye Jingxue didn't want to sleep, so she sniffed and took a deep breath, then tilted her head and looked at Jiang Ran:
"Has sister mentioned me to you?"

"mentioned."

"What did she say about me?"

"You are said to have been sensible and smart since you were a child."

In fact, Ye Jingshuang and Jiang Ran rarely mentioned Ye Jingxue, let alone said that he had been sensible and smart since he was a child.

It's just that words can't be said that way.

"really?"

As expected, Ye Jingxue's eyes lit up slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth:

"My sister is the smart one, I'm just luckier."

Jiang Ran glanced at her and didn't ask any questions.

Ye Jingxue didn't know what was coming to her mind and didn't continue talking.

On the other hand, Tang Huayi, who had been peeking, suddenly started looking openly.

There were thousands of words I wanted to say, but due to my identity as 'Li Tianxin', I couldn't say a single word, so I had to turn over hard with a dark face, then close my eyes hard, and sleep hard.

Jiang Ran glanced at her, and for some reason the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

The night was spent in silence, which was quite uneventful.

Early the next morning, everyone woke up and packed up the pots and cooked rice.

It can be seen that the members of the Fierce Knife Sect, including Hu Nan, were not very good at eating and drinking along the way.

In the eyes of Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi, they all ate Li Tianyu's delicious breakfast with gusto... as if they were some delicacy and praised it repeatedly.

This also greatly increased Li Tianyu's confidence and decided to explore this matter in depth.

After breakfast, everyone continued their journey.

None of the disciples of the Fierce Sword Sect were riding horses, so they used Qinggong to rush on their way.

Ye Jingxue originally wanted to sit in Jiang Ran's carriage, but then she lifted the door curtain and took a look, then sat silently on the roof of the carriage.

I really don’t want to sit with those heads.

He couldn't help but say to Jiang Ran:
"Brother Jiang, if you don't need this carriage in the future, you must not sell it again."

"why?"

Jiang Ran asked casually.

"Too wicked..."

Ye Jingxue muttered and sat cross-legged.

Dong Qingcheng felt that Ye Jingxue's words were reasonable. This carriage, which had been loaded with people's heads, still smelled of corpses, so it was not suitable to sell it to anyone.

Jiang Ran smiled again:
"Okay, there's no need to turn around, I'll just dismantle it and light the fire."

In the end, Ke Beisheng and Li Tianyu drove the carriage one by one, Ye Jingxue sat on the roof, and the others' mounts remained unchanged.

The group of people rushed towards Guzhang County.

The journey this way is really not short, it takes almost half a month.

As time goes by, the deeper the winter, the colder it feels.

The group also changed into thick winter clothes.

The disciples of the Fierce Sword Sect all wore cloaks with black background and red stripes.

Jiang Ran glanced at it and felt that it looked familiar. Finally, it suddenly dawned on him that if it was a stand-up collar... wouldn't it be the Akatsuki organization?
Although he himself had profound internal strength and was immune to cold and heat, he also changed his clothes in order not to stand out from the crowd.

It was a set of cyan gowns that Tang Huayi chose for him. It was tied around the waist and his body was tall and straight. Coupled with his somewhat rosy face. When he came out of the clothing store, he was watched by the girls on the street for a long time. .

Although it is said that men and women are heavily guarded in this era, it doesn't matter if they just move their eyes but don't do anything.

Therefore, the gaze is particularly intense.

Jiang Ran almost felt embarrassed.

Along the way, Dong Qingcheng and the others finally understood how Jiang Ran got the head in the carriage.

They were extremely surprised when they faced the first wave of desperadoes who rushed up to snatch Jiaowei.

He wanted to make peace with her in nice words, but when he found that the other party was completely unmoved, he drew his sword in anger.

After the second wave, they became relatively calm.

Later, it became accustomed to it.

And these disciples from famous and upright families have very strong learning ability. They can even go to clean the battlefield with Li Tianyu and collect the broken silver and pills.

There were also a few who were able to identify the wanted criminals and quickly cut off their heads and threw them into the carriage.

Dong Qingcheng didn't take it seriously at first. After a while, he found that his juniors were becoming more and more proficient, and he felt something was wrong.

Fortunately, Guzhang County was already in sight at this time, otherwise he would be worried that if things continued like this, his junior brother would have to learn from Jiang Ran how to preserve human heads.

This is not the same as walking with Jiang Ran. This is Jiang Ran training swordsmen here.

……

……

Guzhang County is not that big.

The location is also quite remote and does not occupy a transportation hub, so there are not many people.

When you set foot in the county, you feel quite deserted.

There were very few pedestrians on the street.

Occasionally, I see a few people who pass by in a hurry with their hands in their sleeves.

Dong Qingcheng had been here before and first led everyone to a place called Yunxiang Inn.

But the door of the inn was closed, and someone was stunned:

"Is it closed down?"

"There's someone in there."

Dong Qingcheng said loudly:
"Go knock on the door. It's probably too cold and you have to make a living behind closed doors."

Even if someone from the Fierce Sword Sect came up to knock on the door.

Sure enough, there were footsteps approaching in a moment, the door creaked open, and a head sneakily poked out:

"Who?"

Seeing the group of people in front of the door, I was suddenly shocked:
"This...are you...working as a prostitute or staying in a hotel?"

To top it off, you just have a meal and leave, so there is no need to talk about staying in a hotel.

"Stay at the hotel."

Dong Qingcheng said: "Are there enough guest rooms?"

"Have!"

The waiter's eyes suddenly lit up, he quickly opened the door and said with a smile:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's getting colder and colder these days.

"The cold wind made me feel uncomfortable, so I closed the door."

As he was talking, someone inside was yelling at him for opening the door. He had to close the door quickly to freeze to death.

The waiter in the shop was not afraid and turned around to say a few words.

With so many of them living directly in the inn building, it was obviously not possible to accommodate them.

Fortunately, the inn was very big and there was a yard behind it, so Jiang Ran and the others asked for a small yard to rest.

The younger brother suddenly became more enthusiastic.

Looking at Jiang Ran, I thought it was pleasing to the eye.

Jiang Ran asked casually:
"Brother, have you seen a group of guests wearing the same clothes like us recently?"

"Yes, I have."

The younger brother answered without thinking.

Dong Qingcheng was stunned when he heard this. Looking at the appearance of the inn, he thought they were the first ones to arrive.

Immediately asked:

"Where are they now?"

"A group of guests came here a few days ago, and they were all wearing the same clothes. Oh, by the way, they all had a mountain embroidered on their sleeves.

"But they went out last night and haven't come back until now."
