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

Chapter 412: Star-clad Demon Slaying

Jiahe City is not close to the imperial capital, and it only took them half a month to reach this point in the Qing Kingdom.

According to the normal route, if you take the official road, if you stay overnight in Xiaoxing, it will take nearly a month.

And that's without any trouble on the road.

If there is any problem that delays the trip, there is no guarantee when it will arrive.

But now Jiang Ran and others cannot leave due to official methods.

In order to prevent accidents, after the group disguised themselves, they also had to assume another layer of identity.

The eldest princess thinks that this matter is easy to handle. Jiang Ran can pretend to be a rich man, and Tian Miaomiao and Chu Yunniang will be the accompanying maids.

Wu Di and Li Tianyu were the guards.

Liu Mucheng can be said to be the steward.

He and Shuangxue can be aggrieved and become Jiang Ran's wife.

Jiang Ran accepted everything else gladly, but categorically refused the last point.

This caused the eldest princess to gnash her teeth and say that Jiang Ran didn't know what was good or bad, and he didn't know how good he was when he was in the midst of blessings.

Jiang Ran was too lazy to pay attention to her, but after thinking about it, he told her that she had a special status. Once the clues were exposed, the higher the position, the more likely she would be exposed.

So the young madam and the like can be frightened by frost and snow, but she can't.

Then he said that the escorts could not all be men, and a woman could be added. She would be just right.

The eldest princess gritted her teeth and after working hard for a while, she felt that what Jiang Ran said was not unreasonable.

However, Ye Jingxue said that she did not want to be a young lady with her sister, but also wanted to be a guard.

Jiang Ran looked at these two faces and sighed helplessly.

Although they had been transformed by Tang Huayi's skillful hands, the two faces were still almost the same.

There are two people who look exactly the same, one is a young lady and the other is a guard. Is it reasonable to say this?

Ye Jingxue was speechless for a moment.

After looking at the expectant look on her sister's face, she finally gritted her teeth and agreed.

That's how it was settled.

The group of people changed their outfits and transformed into the young master from neighboring Qiuye Ancient Country. They came to Qing Country for a tour with their wives and entourage.

Just in time for the war in the Qing Kingdom, I didn't dare to hang around in the border town, so I went straight to the imperial capital of the Qing Kingdom. I expected that even if the war spread, the imperial capital would not be burned for a while.

With such a layer of character, the group can finally set off.

Of course, even if this is the case, if we can avoid going official, we should do our best to avoid going official.

I have been traveling through mountains and ridges on secluded paths.

This would be a bitter experience for Liu Mucheng.

After all, Liu Mucheng is a civil servant, eloquent and sophisticated.

But after all, I have no power to restrain the chicken.

Even if Chu Yunniang lost her martial arts skills and had no internal strength, her physical fitness from practicing martial arts since she was a child was amazing. Compared to that, she was much relaxed.

In this way, we walked for another seven days, stumbling all the way, but only three hundred miles away.

While walking that day, Jiang Ran's expression suddenly moved slightly and he spoke softly:

"There were sounds of fighting."

Everyone looked at each other and became cautious.

It's not that their nerves are too tight, but it's not that they haven't rested in the city along the way.

But whenever you enter the city, you will see portraits of Jiang Ran and others all over the streets.

That's right... Jiang Ran, a knife hunter who hunts geese all day long, finally got beaten this time.

Qingguo offered them a very high reward.

Especially Jiang Ran.

The sky-high price of one hundred thousand taels of gold was clearly marked!

Of course, Jiang Ran was not convinced by this.

After all, the only person he knew that was worth this money was Jun Hezai.

At what level, he actually has the same price as me?

It really doesn't make sense.

But in this way, Jiang Ran and others are really in trouble. Whether they are Jianghu people or anyone else, it is difficult to say that if their identity is seen through, they will not take action immediately.

The eldest princess immediately looked at Jiang Ran:

"How to do?"

Before Jiang Ran could speak, Liu Mucheng couldn't help but said:

"Your Highness, you are the eldest princess of the dynasty, how can you ask this charlatan about everything?"

The eldest princess ignored him, and neither did Jiang Ran.

This man has not been like this for a while. From the first day of departure to now, whenever the eldest princess shows that she obeys Jiang Ranyan, he has to remind her.

Not only that, when Jiang Ran gave orders and everyone listened, he was the only one who had to ask the eldest princess.

At first, Jiang Ran thought this guy was deliberately going against him.

Later I discovered that this person is like this...

In his mind, there is order between elder and younger, and everything must be done according to the rules.

Even if someone thinks you are rigid and don't know how to adapt, you will never change your bottom line.

After a long time, I found this man's old-fashioned character quite interesting.

For this person, Jiang Ran would not turn a deaf ear to what he said if it made sense, but in this situation, everyone ignored it.

He didn't care. Anyway, he said what to do. It was the princess's decision whether to listen or not.

Jiang Ran pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly:

"Forget it, we are in a foreign land and we are all enemies, so don't worry about it..."

As soon as he said this, his face suddenly darkened.

Sighing softly:

"It's better to take a look. There are children among them."

With his extraordinary hearing, he heard the cry of a baby.

Let's forget about the others for now, but hearing the child's voice, which was only about two or three months old, Jiang Ran couldn't bear to ignore it.

Everyone immediately nodded in agreement.

Even Liu Mucheng was silent for a moment and didn't speak.

Jiang Ran immediately took the first step, followed closely by Jingshuang and Jingxue, and then Li Tianyu.

As for Wu Di, he looked after Chu Yunniang and Liu Mucheng.

The reason why Tian Miaomiao was a step slower was just because she was not good at Qinggong...

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Ran landed lightly on the branch of a big tree.

When he pushed aside the leaves, he saw several guards fighting in a bloody battle.

The opponents were not the bandits Jiang Ran imagined, but a group of men in black with high martial arts skills.

The methods of this group of guards were not weak either, but they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. In addition, they had to protect a woman with a child in her arms, as well as two and a half-year-old boys.

Therefore, when taking action, it is inevitable to restrain your hands and throw a trap.

Jiang Ran looked at it for a while, but couldn't see where these two people were coming from.

It happened that Ye Jingshuang and Ye Jingxue had already arrived at his side. Seeing this, Ye Jingxue wanted to save people.

But Jiang Ran gently stopped him and said in a low voice:

"Wait a minute."

Ye Jingxue knew that Jiang Ran's words would not be without purpose. Although he didn't understand what he meant, he still stopped obediently.

As for Li Tianyu, he had already occupied a favorable position. As long as Jiang Ran gave the order, his arrows would be shot.

Just seeing Li Tianyu's arrow occasionally, Jiang Ran couldn't help but think of another thing.

At that time, the group of people sent by the Qing Kingdom to assassinate the eldest princess had seen through Li Tianyu's cloud-chasing and moon-chasing arrows before they died.

He even called out the words 'remnants of the Jin family'.

He even arrogantly said that he would be the enemy of the entire Qing Kingdom by harboring this remnant of the Jin family.

But now there seems to be no difference.

He is already considered the enemy of the entire Qing Kingdom.

At the same time, the fighting on the field finally changed.

Several guards could not hold on any longer, so they stepped back and looked around their master.

A man in black with obviously higher martial arts skills and higher status broke through the trees in the forest and came to the front. After landing, he said softly:

"Why bother to resist?

"Let's take it easy. Hand the kid over and he'll suffer less."

"Don't even think about it!!"

The woman holding the child gritted her teeth and said:

"Aren't you afraid of retribution when you do this?"

"retribution?"

The leading man in black seemed stunned for a moment, then sighed:

“I didn’t expect that the future mistress of the Qiu clan would still believe in the cycle of heaven and retribution.

"Why would someone like you marry into the Qiu family?

“Getting involved in such murky waters?

"That's all, I can't explain it to you..."

He curled his fingers lightly:

"No one will be left except that child."

As soon as the words fell, a group of men in black did not hesitate and immediately flew up, each displaying their killing moves.

And looking at the guards around the woman, they all reached their limit.

Under this fierce attack, there will inevitably be heavy casualties.

Ye Jingxue's eyes flashed with sword light, and just as he was about to take action, he heard a voice yelling angrily:

"That's enough, stop fighting!!!"

I don't know whether the anger in the voice was shocking or there was another reason, but the man in black at the head really called for a stop. Then he raised his eyes to see the speaker. He was one of the two and a half young men beside the woman.

This child only looks fifteen or sixteen years old.

Facing the group of men in black around them, they could not hide the look of fear on their faces.

However, he didn't know what to think, but he walked out from the guards.

He took a deep breath and said:

"That's enough...stop...don't fight anymore."

The man in black at the head sighed in disappointment, as if he was very upset about his decision just now, but now he didn't even have the thought to say a word to the child, so he lightly curled his fingers.

Immediately two men in black flew up and wanted to kill the young man on the spot.

The two guards came to stop him without even thinking about it.

Unexpectedly, the young man did not take a step back when faced with the blades of the two men in black. Instead, he took a step forward and pushed out a palm with his eyes closed.

The direction of the palm wind is exactly one of the men in black.

A flash of coldness flashed in the eyes of the man in black. He turned the blade and was about to cut off his palm. However, he didn't want the palm to come after him. Before the blade could change, his palm had already landed on the blade. , with a snap, the blade was directly broken, and then the iron palm fell between the chest and abdomen of the man in black.

The man immediately flew away like a kite with its strings broken, spinning and hitting a tree.

He died immediately on the spot.

This scene really stunned everyone present.

Only Jiang Ran frowned.

Ye Jingxue whispered in surprise:

"Such a deep inner strength... How could a child of his age have such inner strength? Could it be that he is born with divine power?"

Jiang Ran shook his head and noticed that it was not only Ye Jingxue and the others who were surprised, but even the group of guards and the woman protected in the middle were completely stunned by this scene.

The leader's eyes darkened and he immediately smiled:

"What a young hero who hides his secrets!"

After saying this, with a wave of one hand, he directly ordered the gang of men in black to join forces to besiege him.

Although that young man has internal strength, he is extraordinary.

But looking at his expression and steps, you can tell that he has no experience in fighting.

The palm strike just now was just one force that could defeat ten enemies.

Now faced with the siege of so many men in black, even though he was stretched thin, he had already been stabbed twice in just two encounters.

There was a constant flow of blood for a while.

Ye Jingxue immediately looked at Jiang Ran. This young man obviously didn't know much about martial arts. If this continues, he might not be buried.

Jiang Ran pondered for a moment, and just as he was about to take action, he saw the busy young man suddenly staggered his feet and held his hands empty. There was nothing in his palms, but he seemed to have a knife in his palms.

The light from the sky seemed to condense on his hands at this moment.

Followed by a roar, he swung suddenly, and an invisible blade suddenly slashed down.

The man in black who had reached a very close distance was immediately split into two by the light of the sword. However, the sword kept moving forward, chi chi chi, and after beheading three people one after another, the leading man in black turned his head slightly. Taking a step forward, the blade grazed his chest and cut into the forest, gradually entering an unknown place.

"What an exquisite sword technique..."

The leader of the man in black had an uncertain look in his eyes. At the same time, the young man seemed to have exerted too much force. His vision went dark and he was already lying on the ground.

"Awen!!"

Seeing this, another young man quickly wanted to rush over and bring the young man back.

But the man in black led by him no longer gave him a chance.

As soon as he turned around and his body shape changed, he had already held the young man in his palm.

Turn around:

"kill!"

As soon as the order was given, the screams suddenly sounded.

The man in black at the head didn't know whether he didn't want to see this bloody scene, or whether he was deliberately in that concave shape, and he just didn't look back.

After the screams subsided, he slowly turned back.

What came into sight was the corpses of men in black.

Looking up again, he saw two girls, standing on one left and one on the right. Each of them had a sword in their hand, and the blade was still dripping with blood.

The pupils of the leading man in black suddenly shrank.

After working together for a long time, the person who screamed was not the person opposite, but one of his own subordinates?

"Who are you?"

He asked subconsciously.

I heard a voice chuckle:

"Can you return that child to me? He and I seem to get along quite well."

The leader of the man in black had a dull figure. He slowly turned around and saw a young master slowly walking out of the forest. His posture was as cool as if this was not a deep mountain forest but the back garden of a large house.

"who are you?"

The leader of the men in black shouted sternly:

"You dare to interfere with our actions?"

Jiang Ran shook his head slightly:

“It’s not intentional destruction, but if you encounter it on the road, you can’t just ignore it.

“Oh, by the way, I haven’t answered your question yet.

"In Xiajiangliu, a member of the Jiang family of the ancient Qiuye country is traveling around with his wife and servants.

"Well, now that my identity is revealed, can you put that child down?"

"Don't even think about it!!"

Hearing Jiang Ran insisting on wanting the child in his hands, how could the man in black dare to hand it over easily?

The two thin girls killed all their men.

This ignorant young master may not necessarily have any abilities.

Now this child is his life-saving straw, and he cannot let go even if he dies.

Therefore, not only did he not let go, but he grabbed the child's throat with his backhand:

"Don't come over, otherwise, he will die on the spot as soon as I spit out my inner strength!!"

Jiang Ran nodded in good temper:

"That's the case, then I won't go there."

After saying this, before the man in black could breathe a sigh of relief, a cold feeling suddenly swept through his entire arm.

He lowered his head suddenly and found that a long sword had penetrated his arm.

Blood flowed bit by bit along the tip of the sword.

The leading man in black reacted for a moment, and then he understood what was going on. Just as he was about to scream, he saw the sword light flickering, and his entire arm had been cut off.

A hand reached out and grabbed the back of the young man's neck.

The figure swayed again and was already two feet away.

The man in black subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab it, but where could he catch it?

Then a dangerous intuition that made his scalp tingle came from behind.

He turned around suddenly and saw a starlight approaching.

He immediately moved his hands together to stop him, but the sword light instantly pierced his palm and then stabbed directly into his throat.

The opponent flicked the sword and Ye Jingxue pulled it out.

Shaking his hand, the blood on it immediately spread to the ground, and then sheathed the sword.

The woman holding the child on one side and the guards were all dumbfounded.

After he came to his senses, he immediately thanked her.

Thanks to Jiang Ran and others for their life-saving grace.

Jiang Ran was not polite and asked about their origins.

The woman claimed that her name was Bai Lu, and she was the wife of the eldest son of the Qiu clan, and this child was the eldest grandson of the Qiu clan.

When Jiang Ran asked about the origins of these killers, Bai Lu hesitated for a moment before telling Jiang Ran and others the truth.

These killers are also members of the Qiu clan.

It's just a second-bedroom person.

The Qiu family is quite famous in the world of Qingguo.

However, there is a rule in family inheritance, that is, the inheritance should be passed on to the elder rather than to the younger, unless the eldest son has no descendants.

As a result, the current eldest son of the Qiu clan actually has no descendants.

Therefore, the second young master has always been the most vocal successor.

Unexpectedly, the eldest son secretly got married to Bai Lu, and the two gave birth to a son.

In this way, the eldest son has the right to inherit.

The second room has been claiming to be the heir for many years. Who would have thought that suddenly, with such a move, the position of head of the family that he was willing to take would fly away. Then he took advantage of Bai Lu's return to his hometown to visit relatives and sent a killer to kill him.

As long as the eldest grandson is dead, or his life or death is unknown.

That's the same as nothing.

When the time comes, the position of the head of the family will fortunately belong to the second young master.

That's why today's scene happened.

After Jiang Ran heard this, he frowned slightly. The more detailed the woman spoke, the more clearly she had a purpose.

However, he didn't mind much about it. He just asked the child named Awen whether he was also a member of the Qiu clan?

The answer I got was no.

Awen is actually the son of a servant in the eldest son's yard.

Because he had a good relationship with his brother, he followed him home, but he didn't expect to fall into this shock.

Jiang Ran touched his chin, not surprised, he was just puzzled:

"A child of the Qiu clan, a subordinate...

"Who did you learn from Wen Xinzhai's secret skill...the Star-Piercing Demon Slash?

"Where does this inner strength come from?"
