Chapter 490 Asking for help
Seeing the five young men and women in front of him, they used all their special skills to kill towards him.

Chu Yunniang slowly closed her eyes.

But it was only for a moment. When she opened her eyes, she flew up. As soon as the sword passed by in her hand, there was already a touch of bright red in the edge.

I saw one of the five young people let out a muffled groan.

Subconsciously, he reached out to cover his chest, and the person fell from mid-air.

"Xin Yuan!!"

Several other people screamed in surprise, completely unaware of how their companions were hit by the sword and how they died.

Looking back at Chu Yunniang, he saw that her feet were a little above the soldier's shield, and her figure turned back like lightning.

The four people rushed into the two-story building without hesitation. They twisted their bodies and tapped the wall twice. At the same time, they turned back and charged towards Chu Yunniang.

Chu Yunniang held the sword in one hand, and with a flash of sword light, it hit a person's throat.

Blood gurgled from his chest.

At the same time, when others took action, all the incoming offenders were knocked to the ground, some dead and some still alive.

“We must not let these demon sect monsters know that we are alive.

"But if that's the case, why would she show up and fight with us? Wouldn't it be good for us to kill the young demon sect master?"

The remaining people's eyes were splitting as they pointed or punched, but all failed.

And just when the carriage completely disappeared on the horizon, the young man named Xin Yuan who was first stabbed to death by Chu Yunniang's sword moved his fingers and slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. .

It actually works!

"Is she forced to join the Demon Cult?"

"When the time comes, I'm worried that the young demon sect master will be detrimental to her."

A few people said something to each other, and among all the chatter, they figured out something.

Without caring about anything else, he quickly applied acupuncture points to stop the bleeding, and then tried to tap into the internal energy. Immediately, these people woke up one by one.

After a while, they all fell to the ground.

He slowly turned over and sat up. The blood in his heart was still flowing. He glanced at it without paying attention:

At the same time, he turned his head slightly, and the cold edge swept past his neck. He glanced at the weapon, then moved the sword, and the sword light suddenly disappeared.

"I'm afraid there might be some misunderstanding?"

"Or maybe she joined the Demon Cult just to lurk next to the Demon Cult's thieves so that she can communicate with us when the time comes!"

He immediately stood up and went to see his companions.

Various moves were performed one after another, but the long sword in Chu Yunniang's hand changed at will, sometimes disappearing, sometimes appearing, and every time it appeared, it would pierce someone's heart.

The carriage and the military formation did not stop at the same place, they just walked away, and they were far away in the blink of an eye.

When it reappeared, it had already stabbed someone in the chest.

But soon, he discovered that as more and more blood flowed, his consciousness gradually became blurred.

"Is this the underworld?"

The expression on his face changed from confused to stunned in the blink of an eye.

"I'm not dead?"

The surrounding soldiers were dumbfounded.

"Otherwise, the news that Miss Chu tried so hard to save our lives will spread.

"But, as a descendant of Chu Nanfeng, she has taken refuge in the Demon Cult, so why does she treat us like this?"

But in an instant, Chu Yunniang froze, and several people behind her stood there, each of them motionless.

Even though they narrowly escaped death, they couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.

Some people looked at the wounds carefully and took a deep breath:
"Such exquisite swordsmanship... That heir of the Chu family has really great swordsmanship.

"What exactly is going on?"

But he was scolded by the girl next to him:
"Are you a pig brain?
“Miss Chu’s martial arts are so good, she can make us die seamlessly in a life-and-death fight with us.

Only then did I feel something was wrong... I quickly tapped an acupuncture point on my chest to stop the bleeding.

But no one cares whether they are alive or dead.

Since it is the underworld, even if there are wounds and bleeding, what will happen? Of course, no need to pay attention!

Finally, Na Xin Yuan said:

As a result, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that they were not dead either.

Someone asked.

Several people landed on the ground together with the latest corpse, right in the middle of the military formation.

Someone asked again.

"Her sword seemed to have pierced the heart, but in fact it just passed by the side of the heart. She was injured but not dead. The sword energy stunned us, and we fell to the ground. The bleeding was temporarily stopped."

"We can't even defeat her. If the young master of the Demon Sect really has the ability to force her to join the Demon Sect, then how can we be our opponents?
"The purpose of Miss Chu's move is to protect us!"

"Yes."

Xin Yuan nodded:

“So, now we must not let the Demon Cult know about our affairs.

"Even the Taoist priest must be trusted to tell you what happened today.

"Otherwise, the Demon Cult Young Master will definitely be detrimental to Miss Chu!

"And we will also ruin the great situation created by Miss Chu!"

"What's the situation?"

The person who asked the question just now asked again.

Xin Yuan sighed:

“Naturally, it’s a good situation to cooperate inside and outside, and to conceal the truth.

"To be honest, the few of us were a little reckless this time. We didn't know the huge disparity between ourselves and the enemy, so we acted rashly and purely based on our passion. This will never be advisable in the future.

"Fortunately, Miss Chu is there today, so we can hide the truth and keep the devil in the dark."

Everyone nodded for a moment.

……

……

“One is leaning one point to the left, and two are leaning one point to the right.

"There is another one that is quite different. When the sword entered the body, it only went towards the heart. As a result, when it was about to hit the heart, it happened to avoid the vital point. According to the angle, they survived by chance.

"Miss Chu, although your internal strength has been restricted by me for a while, your swordsmanship is getting better and better.

"They say that the Tao is found in shit and urine. It seems that Miss Chu has been a maid for a while and has learned a lot about the secrets of swordsmanship."

Jiang Ran fiddled with the tea leaves casually, took a sip, and casually said those few fledgling boys as a shocking secret and the key to reversing the situation.

Chu Yunniang was not embarrassed by having her secret revealed, and just said calmly:

"It's not bad for the moment. Besides, you have no enmity with them, so there's no need to kill them all."

"It doesn't matter."

Jiang Ran smiled and put down the tea cup.

Chu Yunniang subconsciously took the teapot and added tea to him.

Jiang Ran smiled again:
"So it seems that Miss Chu has made up her mind?"

The previous discussion about this matter with Chu Yunniang was in Qi'an Town.

She suddenly had the idea to join the Demon Cult.

Jiang Ran asked her to think carefully.

The girl thought about it for a long time and suddenly took action today. Jiang Ran naturally has the beauty of an adult.

Just let the news about this successor of the Nanfeng Hidden Sword Style joining the Demon Cult spread.

Chu Yunniang nodded lightly:
"I've made up my mind."

"it is good."

Jiang Ran stood up and said:

“It’s just that after today’s incident spreads, there may be some interesting misunderstandings.

"Miss Chu, if anyone contacts you and wants to cooperate with you, please don't forget to inform me."

"……understood."

Chu Yunniang gave Jiang Ran a dark look.

When she took action to kill and save others, she actually thought about this possibility.

At the same time, I was also wondering if Jiang Ran would not have thought of this matter. Then he might be able to communicate with the righteous way through other methods.

As a result, it turned out that I couldn't hide it from him.

This man is young and as smart as a ghost. He is really hateful.

"That's good. I'll go and have a rest first. Miss Chu can do whatever she wants."

As he spoke, he came to a small bed not far away and lay down to rest.

At the same time, I also started to think about it. After a month of calm, someone suddenly came to assassinate me.

This is no coincidence.

It seemed that as he approached Yuliu City, those people began to be unable to bear it any longer.

Jiang Ran didn't have any other thoughts about this except keeping expectations.

In a blink of an eye, it was already evening.

Jiang Ran was thinking about where to camp when he heard the sound of breaking wind coming from the window. When he looked up, Jin Ge had already appeared in the carriage:

"Brother, there is a town ahead, not far from us, less than ten miles away."

"Less than ten miles..."

Jiang Ran pondered for a moment and took out the Qingguo map from his sleeve.

After looking at the map carefully, he finally said:

"There is no town here on the map..." Jin Ge was stunned and immediately said:

"Did they build a temporary town? Waiting for us to surrender?"

"It does have a bit of a Wushenglou flavor."

Jiang Ran smiled:
“However, among so many people, there are many famous people, and there are also some top masters in the world.

“If we really want to talk about it, it is much better than Wushenglou.

"It's not difficult to build a town temporarily."

"Then let's take a detour?"

Jin Ge suggested.

Jiang Ran shook his head:
"Why go around? There is a ready-made town, why bother?
"Just in time, it's time to take a bath in a crowded place and tidy up ourselves.

"Tell Qing Yi and walk in the direction of this town. We'll stay at the inn tonight."

"it is good."

Jin Ge smiled when he heard this and immediately went out to deliver the order.

A journey of ten miles is not too close, but it is not too far either.

No matter how slow Jiang Ran and his group moved, they still arrived before leaving the town when the sky was dark.

The town has no walls, only a tall gatehouse with three big characters on it: Anning Town.

The town was quite deserted at this time. It could be seen that every house had candlelight shining on the windows, but there were very few people walking on the streets.

Walking along the main road in the town, not long after, we saw an inn.

The name of the inn is Anning Inn.

It does look peaceful.

Luo Qingyi stopped the carriage, entered the inn with Wang Jingyuan, and asked about the guest room.

Soon the shopkeeper came out with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

Jiang Ran brought too many people here, and the inn had limited rooms, making it difficult to accommodate them.

Therefore, the shopkeeper discussed with Jiang Ran to clean up several yards in the backyard, set up sheds in the yards, prepare bedding, and let everyone live in the yard temporarily.

"Look, sir, it's hot now. Even if you sleep outside at night, you won't be cold.

"What do you think?"

The shopkeeper smiled and looked like a businessman.

Jiang Ran glanced at him twice and smiled slightly:
"That's fine, just follow the shopkeeper's wishes."

"Okay, okay, please wait a moment, sir. I will go and give the instructions...just wait for a while, and then you can check in."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he went to order people to prepare in the yard.

Jiang Ran watched this with a cold eye, neither asking to participate in the viewing nor sending anyone to monitor.

Not more than half an hour later, the shopkeeper came over to invite Jiang Ran and others to check in.

Place the carriage near the stable, unsaddle the horse, and let the horse relax.

The three courtyards were filled to the brim almost instantly.

Tang Huayi sat in front of Jiang Ran, glanced at Chu Yunniang standing beside her, and said to Jiang Ran:

"This shopkeeper doesn't look like someone with martial arts skills."

Jiang Ran nodded:

"His feet were swaying and his eyes were gloomy. He really didn't look like a man with inner strength.

"But you still have to be careful... Go ahead and tell me that no food or water in the inn is allowed to be used.

"Arrange for someone to be on duty, and then ask someone to carefully check whether there is any problem with the shed where they sleep."

"it is good."

Tang Huayi agreed, and then went to find someone to inform him.

And not long after she left, a voice came from the door:

"Sir, I'll bring you some hot water."

The sound was that of a young girl.

Jiang Ran opened the door and looked at the person outside, but it was a little girl of sixteen or seventeen years old.

There was a large wooden barrel beside her. After seeing Jiang Ran open the door, she struggled to carry the barrel and wanted to enter the house.

Jiang Ran stopped her casually:

"Just put it in front of the door."

"Yes."

The girl nodded, then glanced at Jiang Ran, with a strange light in her eyes.

And just when Jiang Ran reached out to pick up the bucket, the girl's hand suddenly passed over the back of Jiang Ran's hand.

Jiang Ran's eyes changed slightly, but the girl turned around and left as if nothing was wrong.

Jiang Ran brought the bucket of water in and closed the door.

Turning his palm over, there was already a note on it.

It was when the girl's palm brushed across the back of Jiang Ran's hand before that she suddenly stuffed it into his sleeve.

I checked it a little and made sure there was nothing wrong with the note.

Jiang Ran opened it and saw a line of small words written in it:
"At midnight, at the south end of the town, under the willow tree."

Jiang Ran held the note and pondered slightly. As soon as his inner energy left, there was a roar, and the flames suddenly burned.

In the blink of an eye, the ground was covered with dust:
"What is this? A willow tree in the moonlight, an appointment after dusk?"

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, he didn't quite believe that such a thing would happen.

But in such a town made out of nothing, no matter what happens, it is normal.

A girl who dares to call her out to meet her in this way, even if it's a one-time meeting, so what?

As far as the current situation is concerned, we have to wait for the other party to take action.

Now that he has taken action, how can Jiang Ran have any reason to avoid it?

So after all the affairs were settled, and after explaining the situation to Tang Shiqingtang Huayi, Princess Jingshuang Jingxue and others, he jumped out of the inn window alone.

They arrived in this town relatively late.

Now is the time.

But Jiang Ran didn't show up immediately. He flew to the tree, and after confirming his position, he waited here quietly.

Time passed by minute by second, and soon, Jiang Ran saw the girl who gave him a note, and carefully came to the tree.

Even if there was the slightest disturbance, she would become as frightened as a bird.

It wasn't until no one jumped out that she felt a little relieved.

At one moment after midnight, Jiang Ran did not show up. At two o'clock after midnight, Jiang Ran was still watching the show.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the girl finally couldn't bear it anymore, so she sat on the stone under the tree.

There was a look of worry all over his face.

In this way, after waiting for a while, until Zi hour passed and Chou hour came, Jiang Ran flew down from the tree and arrived behind the girl:
"Girl, who are you?"

Jiang Ran's voice startled the girl.

She jumped up and turned to look at Jiang Ran. Only after confirming Jiang Ran's face did she feel relieved.

He let out a long breath:
"It turns out you... scared me to death."

After finishing speaking, she first patted her chest, and then knelt on the ground with a plop:

"Please, please! Please save Zhen Cheng!"

"Zhen Cheng?"

Jiang Ran blinked:
"What's your relationship with him?"

"He...he is my man."

The girl said:
"My name is Fang Shasha, and Zhen Cheng is my man.

"I also know that you are the young master of the Demon Sect...this peaceful town is prepared for you.

“They want to take advantage of the light to kill you and those around you.

"So, I can only take this opportunity to ask for help from you.

"In the palace that day, because Zhen Cheng did not obey the orders of the master and did not take action against you, he has now become a thorn in the eyes of the four major families of the Six Sects and Two Houses, who think that he has defected to the Demon Sect.

"So they want to kill Zhen Cheng and sacrifice the flag first before killing you!!
"No one knows about my relationship with Zhen Cheng, and they were not on guard against me, but with my ability, it is absolutely impossible to rescue Zhen Cheng.

"So...my only chance is you.

"Please also remember that in the palace, since Zhen Cheng has never done anything with you, show mercy and save him!!
"I kowtow to you!!"

After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed.

Jiang Ran stepped aside slightly, followed by a flick of his sleeve, and an invisible force came out, causing Shasha to stand up involuntarily.

She glanced at Jiang Ran in astonishment, then heard Jiang Ran smile and say:

"You said you are Zhen Cheng's woman, what proof do you have?"

"Have!"

Fang Shasha took out a small piece of wood from her arms and spread her palm for Jiang Ran to look at.

Jiang Ran looked at it, but didn't understand what it meant.

Just listen to Fang Shasha say:
"This is a piece of material from his wooden figure. He told me that if I take this thing with me, it will feel like he is by my side."

Jiang Ran was speechless for a moment, what does this thing have to do with him.

Zhen Cheng's wooden body had long been destroyed by the Ying Shen Dao.

However, seeing this girl speak and act, there was no hesitation at all, and she nodded gently:

"Then tell me, where is Zhen Cheng now?"
