Chapter 272 Goodbye
It’s really hard to calculate how much gold there is, but a rough estimate suggests that it must be at least about 20 taels.

Fortunately, Jiang Ran has enough manpower.

In addition, each of them has excellent martial arts.

Everyone carried a little more in their hands, but no one was left with a piece of gold.

However, when the 'moat' mechanism was restored, Jiang Ran and others were surrounded by those who could not enter.

They shouted to get Jiang Ran and the others to put down the gold in their hands.

Jiang Ran didn't like them either.

He rushed directly into the crowd with a big knife, and after a few swings, he was already lying on the ground in front of him.

He shook the blade again and said a harsh word:
"If you keep entangled me anymore, I will kill someone!!"

As soon as he said this, no one dared to stop him.

Let their group of people walk away in a hurry.

Looking back, I saw a group of people in the hall walking out at this time.

Watch Jiang Ran and others travel away.

The old man who spoke to Jiang Ran before smiled slightly and looked around:

"You all regard money as dirt."

"I'm afraid that the gold they take is worse than dirt."

A man wearing a mask answered softly.

Everyone nodded.

22 bowls of Laba porridge, 22 tables of gold, plus those two sentences.

No matter how you look at this gold, there must be something weird.

Jiang Ran is willing to be the first person, and they actually have no objection... It's just that the gold may not be so easy to get.

They all wanted to see what would happen next.

But no matter what happens... at least judging from the gold, their trip was worthwhile.

This is only the first day, and we have come up with such a good thing.

As long as the person behind the scenes doesn't show up, there will be a steady stream of benefits.

This time, 'Tong Qianjin' took the lead, but if he could still live well after taking so much gold, they would not give up the benefits next time.

Several people seemed to be thinking the same thing. After looking at each other, they looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

Tang Huayi was also among their group.

The old man suddenly looked at Tang Huayi, came to him, and clasped his fists slightly:
"But Qunfeng Sanren?"

"Don't dare."

Tang Huayi said calmly:
"Just a wandering wild crane in the rivers and lakes."

"Sure enough, Sanren has a lofty artistic conception, which is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like us.

"Speaking of which, I have admired Sanren for a long time...but I wonder if I will be honored to invite Sanren to a gathering?
"It just so happens that I see that all of my friends are outstanding people. I haven't had the opportunity to meet them in the past. Now that I have this opportunity, shouldn't I have a drink?"

When the old man spoke, he glanced at several people around him.

Several people had different expressions, some smiled and nodded, some were silent, and some just took their legs and left.

When he saw someone leaving, the old man didn't stop him.

His eyes wandered around, but fell on the head of 'Bai Xichao', and said with a smile:

"We are talking, but it has nothing to do with you."

"Oh?"

Bai Xichao gave the old man a cold look and suddenly smiled:
"At your age, you and I really can't talk to each other, so just enjoy yourself."

After saying that, he closed the folding fan with a snap and walked away in a blink of an eye.

Tang Huayi glanced at the old man with a half-smile:
"So it seems that you are planning to imitate that Tong Qianjin?"

"I dare not."

The old man hastily said:
“Everyone has seen what happened today.

"Although that child Qianjin is nothing to worry about, he has many masters at his command.

“If these people swarm us, it may not be an easy thing for us.

"That's why I boldly invited you all to discuss the future matters."

Several people looked at me, I looked at you, and finally nodded at the same time.

"It makes sense!"

'Tong Qianjin' took the lead and formed a clique as soon as he came to Liuyuan.

Otherwise, even if Tong Qianjin had the ability to defeat everyone today, he might not be able to take away all the gold.

When that happens, isn't it their chance?

But because they were short of manpower, each of them only swept the snow in front of the door, and could only watch this happen.

For the time being, they just wanted to sit back and watch what happened today to check the follow-up situation.

But once again, should we still watch helplessly?

Therefore, whether it is to deal with Tong Qianjin or the person behind the scenes... they should communicate with each other and stick together.

As for that 'Bai Xichao', a lewd thief, they looked down upon him.

Tang Huayi rolled his eyes slightly, chuckled, and joined the others in agreeing to this suggestion.

……

……

In the yard where Jiang Ran was, the gold had been divided. Naturally, all the gold was on Jiang Ran's side, and all the people under his command were moved into the room.

The remaining half was distributed to his subordinates.

This batch has also been divided into two parts.

The one who gets more is the one who takes action today.

Those who get less are those who joined later.

In this way, both groups of people were quite happy, and it would not be said that Jiang Ran favored one over the other.

But this proposal was not made by Jiang Ran.

It was Old Gou Chen who, as a dog-headed military advisor, gave Jiang Ran advice.

Jiang Ran happily agreed, but was a little curious about the origin of this old dog Chen...

This person's name seems to be missing from the roster in the Sword Holding Department.

This man is old, smart, and shameless... It's hard to say whether he has the ability to adapt to the wind. As for martial arts, from today's point of view, this man has not yet displayed his true ability. Even Jiang Ran can't see it. Come out and find out where this person came from.

Of course, even if he used his special skills, Jiang Ran might not be able to see where he came from.

However, for now, it's okay to use it and just use it.

After everyone took the money and everyone was smiling happily, Jiang Ran said loudly:
“After today’s battle, everyone present is considered a member of my family.

“Let’s say a few heartfelt words behind closed doors...

"I would like to ask you, how did you all come to Liuyuan?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay.

The first one to speak was Chen Laogou:

“I had a friend who I did a favor to and he helped me with something.

“Although it’s not a big or small thing, it can be regarded as a kind of congeniality.

"He told me that there is a grand meeting to be held in Liuyuan. If it can be held at this time, we can follow the chicken and dog to heaven!"

When he spoke, others also spoke.

The reasons are not much different.

The difference is that just like the Tong Qianjin that Jiang Ran pretended to be, he snatched it from other people. Knowing that there was a lot of excitement here, he followed him to take a look.

After waiting for everyone to finish talking, Jiang Ran nodded:

“Looking at it from today, let’s not even mention the grand gathering here.

"The people behind the scenes may not have good intentions.

"Although I want to dominate the world, I don't want to be a knife in the hands of others.

"You guys, you have to be careful when you go out in the future... However, there must be some benefits in Liuyuan, let's take advantage of it, and if we see the opportunity later, we can leave first!

"Also, are any of you good at covert tracking?"

"Boss, I'm good at it!"

A short young man with a goatee jumped up, jumped directly to the table and squatted down and said:

"I'm an expert in this area."

Seeing his strong skills, Jiang Ran asked:
"What's your name?"

"The villain Mr. Liang."

The man chuckled:
"People give me the nickname Rat on the Liang."

The rat on Liang Shang... The gentleman on Liang Shang is a thief.

Jiang Ran smiled, this guy's name was probably changed later. It seems that the name Liang Shangjun couldn't fall on his head, so he changed his name and regarded himself as a gentleman.

Jiang Ran immediately slapped his hands and said:
"It's just you... There's something wrong with that pretty boy named Bai. Go and keep an eye on it for me.

"If there is any trouble, come back and tell me.

"But this pretty boy is not weak in martial arts. Don't get too close. If you turn around and he finds you, he will chop off your head and then blame me, the boss, for taking risks on you."

Liang Junzi immediately turned seven or eight somersaults on the table. The last step fell, as light as if it was nothing, and he knelt down on one knee:

"Subordinates have orders!"

After saying that, his figure flashed, and then he ran over the wall without a trace.

As soon as he left, he heard another person speaking quietly:
"I'm also good at..."

Jiang Ran looked at the sound and was stunned.

The person who spoke later was the woman covered in black clothes.

Jiang Ran still felt that her voice sounded familiar.

But I can't remember where I heard it.

Her voice was cold and clear, as if there was no trace of fireworks in it.

Jiang Ran couldn't remember it, and remembered that the old drunkard said that Tang Shiqing might also show up in Liuyuan during this trip, so he subconsciously guessed in the direction of Tang Shiqing.

But this voice was completely different from the woman under the tree that night.

He had heard this voice in other places.

"Boss?"

Chen Laogou's voice came.

Jiang Ran nodded:

"You can do it too? Okay, when that big rat comes back later, you can switch with him."

"Yes……"

The woman in black agreed.Realizing that Jiang Ran was still staring at him, he couldn't help but ask:
"Why do you keep looking at me?"

"What do you look like?"

Jiang Ran said: "Aren't you embarrassed?"

"...I have an ugly appearance and I don't want to show it to others."

the woman whispered.

Jiang Ran smiled:
"It doesn't matter, you all close your eyes for me.

"They don't look at it, I take a look, otherwise, if someone looks like this and someone appears in front of me wearing your clothes, I won't be able to tell whether it is true or false.

"Or are you saying that even I can't stand it?"

"..."

The woman in black was silent for a while, then stood up:

"Go to the room."

After finishing speaking, he remained silent for a while and then added:
"it's OK?"

Maybe it was because I felt that the first three words sounded too commanding, so I added the following question.

Jiang Ran laughed:

"What's wrong? You're not worried, so I'm still worried about a ball? Are you still worried that you're a prostitute and you're going to steal me?"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience roared with laughter.

The woman didn't smile, but said in a cold voice:

"I'm not."

Jiang Ran ignored them and waved his hand:

"It's all gone. The old dog lives in my yard and is always ready for orders. Everyone else should go and rest.

"In addition, find a few people to patrol the surrounding area. This area is already our territory, and we cannot allow idlers to stay."

"Yes."

Everyone agreed at the same time, and then left happily.

Jiang Ran led the woman in black through the door.

After closing the door, Jiang Ran sat down calmly:
"Take it off."

"..."

The woman pondered for a while, then took off the black scarf on her face and showed her face to Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran only glanced at it, and his heart skipped a beat.

He really knew this person!
Within Ziyue Villa, there were once several so-called masters gathered in the hall.

Although in Jiang Ran's opinion, this 'master' is just mediocre.

But there was one person among them who left a deep impression on Jiang Ran.

That night Tianshangque attacked Ziyue Villa. The man was extremely skilled in swordsmanship, but he didn't know who he studied under.

When things were over at Ziyue Villa, he disappeared without a trace.

But I didn't expect that we would meet here again...

This woman in black turned out to be Chu Yunniang!

Moreover, she didn't change her appearance, she just took a real face, covered it with a black cloth, and came here to get into trouble!

This woman is really brave!

Jiang Ran's heart was shaken, but his face remained calm, with only a slight frown on his face:
"I don't think it's ugly at all. It's pretty good-looking. Don't wear a face scarf anymore. It won't make you feel bored."

Chu Yunniang ignored this and pulled up the black scarf to cover her head and face:

"Boss has finished reading, can I go?"

Jiang Ran subconsciously wanted to nod, but felt that it didn't fit the character, so he smiled:
“I think you look pretty good, would you like to stay and serve me?

"I'll make sure you have something to eat from now on, so you won't be hungry."

"I don't want to."

Chu Yunniang didn't hesitate for a second.

Jiang Ran stared at her with his eyes widened:
"kindness?"

"...I don't want to!"

Chu Yunniang repeated it again and emphasized her tone.

Jiang Ran burst into laughter:

"Okay, okay, you are a happy little girl.

"If you don't want to, forget it, then just be a dog under me, and I won't treat you badly.

"Go on your own."

"Yes."

Chu Yunniang agreed, turned around and left.

Jiang Ran stared at her back, quite fascinated.

Chu Yunniang could sense the look in his eyes, but she only thought it was the way a man looked at a woman.

Little did he know that Jiang Ran had already made eight hundred guesses about her identity.

The swordsmanship is superb and the origin is mysterious. Judging from Ziyue Villa and Liuyuan...

The people you deal with are all from heaven.

Is she at odds with heaven?
Or is it just a coincidence?
This person looks a bit like the Li Tianxin that Tang Huayi pretended to be at that time.

But the feeling is a little different.

Who is she?
His surname is Chu, and he uses a sword...

“It can’t be Chu Nanfeng’s descendant, right?”

Jiang Ran suddenly had such an idea in his mind, and then he felt a little complicated.

He had not had such complicated emotions in the past.

After all, Chu Nanfeng's cleanup of the Demon Cult a hundred years ago had nothing to do with him at that time.

But now... Although he, the young master of the Demon Sect, is still in a state of being acceptable and inappropriate, the relationship is no longer so innocent.

A hundred years later, another person named Chu came. Is he an enemy or a friend?

"This little girl...ah!"

Jiang Ran was talking to himself so much that he patted his mouth.

Pretending to be someone else is like wearing a mask that you can't take off after a long time.

Tong Qianjin's rough and rude speech was inexplicably easy to come by. There was no one else here, so he almost blurted out the words "little bitch".

Jiang Ran tapped his fingers lightly on the table:
"Show me your face directly... Could you be testing me?"

As for the origin of Chu Yunniang... Although Jiang Ran was a little concerned, there was only one thing that needed to be confirmed.

That is what kind of relationship she has with Tianshangque.

If it is an enemy, then at least for now, it is still useful.

As for the others, don’t worry too much.

……

……

There was a big commotion in the evening, but now there is no trace of it.

At this time, the moon was high in the sky, and the window of Jiang Ran's room was suddenly quietly opened, followed by a person who silently stepped into Jiang Ran's room.

His eyes first glanced at Jiang Ran, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and then fell on the gold on the side.

Slowly coming to the gold, the visitor looked left and right, admired it, stretched out his hand to take it, and heard a voice:
"Don't touch."

When the visitor turned around, Jiang Ran had already turned over and sat up, tilting his head to look at him.

"So petty?"

Tang Huayi tilted her head and smiled:
"Is it poisonous?"

"No."

Jiang Ran shook his head.

"What's the problem? Is this gold fake?"

"Not at all."

Jiang Ran said softly:

“After all, it’s their work, there’s no need to make it fake to fool people.

"My own value has dropped for nothing."

"Since it's not fake and it's not poisonous, then you simply don't let me take it. You also plan to take some gold to repay your debt."

Tang Huayi didn't know what she was thinking of, and snorted with some resentment.

Jiang Ran smiled hoarsely, but he knew what she was thinking.

Before he knew her identity, Jiang Ran asked her for food, accommodation and other expenses. At that time, she should have owed him several thousand taels.

Jiang Ran couldn't remember the exact number.

"why are you laughing?"

Tang Huayi glared at Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran waved his hand:

“There is no problem with this gold, but it is the biggest problem.

"It's just that I can't figure out what they can do with this gold...

"In short, just don't touch it, so as not to cause problems later."

Tang Huayi nodded:
“There are indeed countless sneaky ways in this arena.

"You can never make a big mistake if you are careful... So, even though you snatched all the gold today, you didn't take any of it yourself?"

"kindness."

Jiang Ran nodded: "Since you are playing a person like Tong Qianjin, you should naturally act according to his temperament, but you still have to avoid the risks that should be avoided. Let's not talk about this, why did you come here in the middle of the night?"

"Let me tell you something."

Tang Huayi smiled and said:
"Do you know that you have now become a serious thorn in the hearts of these people!

"They are all conspiring together. They want to see what happens to you first, and then they can figure out how to deal with you."

"Oh?"

Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows slightly and was about to speak, but suddenly he frowned:

"Someone outside..."

Tang Huayi was stunned and was about to think of a way to hide himself.

A scream was heard that tore apart the tranquility of the night...
