Chapter 97 Token
Jiang Ran listened to Tie Cheng's words silently, and after he finished speaking, he took a look at Li Tianxin:
"You have always been well-informed, but have you ever heard of this old monster?"

"heard about it."

Li Tianxin nodded:
"It's just that there is not much news about this person. He moved to the land of the Five Kingdoms back then, but he also came and went without a trace.

"Few people can capture traces of his person.

"However, I heard that it really didn't take much effort for him to kill those current masters.

"It's all three moves and two moves, and the head has already been beheaded.

"It's just that there are different opinions about his sword technique, and the Shocking Nine Swords is just one of them.

"But no one has been able to confirm it."

Jiang Ran let out a soft breath.

Mr. Da once told him that the Jingshen Nine Swords disappeared from the rivers and lakes for a hundred years.

The old drunkard used this saber technique to fight across the world, attacking and killing masters, but he came and went without a trace. Even if someone saw it, it would be difficult to distinguish between his three moves and two moves. Knife.

All are just speculations.

And in this way, Mr. Da's words are not wrong.

Just hiding something...

Jiang Ran felt that in the Cangzhou Mansion Inn, Mr. Da probably came to him because of this incident.

After all, a big man who ruled the world in the past was involved. For Wen Moge, it might be difficult to give up easily.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran set his sights on Tie Cheng again:

"and then?"

"Since Zuo Daozhuang left, he went to 'Poison God Valley', 'Huanshihailou', 'Yaojiazhuang' and other places respectively, each time he went to ask for something.

"As for these things, some are treasures passed down from generation to generation by that sect, while others are not worth mentioning.

"The former is naturally difficult to obtain, and a big fight is indispensable.

"The latter is easier to say, if you know who he is, he will hand it over, and he will turn around and leave.

"At that time, everyone in the Jianghu was in danger, for fear that this person would come to their door.

"This person's whereabouts are so secretive that even Wenmoge's keen sense of smell can't detect any traces. When news comes back, that person has already gone to another place.

"So, after another three months, he completely disappeared.

"Reappearing, I was in Benma County not long ago."

Tiecheng said softly:
"In the past 20 years, some people said that he was dead. After all, he was domineering and perverse, and he would draw a knife to kill people if he disagreed with him.

"If you encounter a master who can't beat you, and you are killed silently, it is only natural for the corpse to be eaten by wild wolves.

"Some people also said that he was tired of fighting and killing in the rivers and lakes, and retired directly to the mountains and forests.

"But no matter what kind it is, this person has left a deep mark on Jianghu...

"So, even after 20 years, when the news of this person's appearance in Jianghu spread again, people came to him immediately.

"Now it is Zuo Daozhuang, the Huanshi Hailou disappeared many years ago, but I don't know if it will come this time.

"In a place like Yaojiazhuang, there is probably no chance to trouble him again... Ever since he went, Yaojiazhuang has been in a slump.

"Five or six years ago, it gradually faded out of the rivers and lakes."

"With his own strength, he turned the world upside down, but people still don't know much about him, and they don't even know the kung fu he practiced."

Li Tian listened leisurely and fascinated:

"What kind of ability is this? If I have three points of his martial arts, why would I come here to be angry with you?"

"Are you talking to me?"

Jiang Ran glanced at him.

Li Tianxin ignored him, pretending he didn't hear him at all.

"Okay, let's talk about it later, who did this old monster meet in Benma Town?"

"do not know."

After Tiecheng finished speaking happily, he quickly said:
"If we knew, we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.

"We only know that they met in Fuyuan Building that day, and the person he met afterwards disappeared.

"Because too much time has passed, even if our group wants to investigate, it is extremely difficult... That's why we turned our ideas on the government and this local snake.

"What I said is all true. Please, hero, hold your hand high and spare my life."

"Hold your hand high?"

Jiang Ran looked at his palm.

Tie Cheng's face turned pale:
"I... I didn't mean that."

After Jiang Ran smiled, he didn't shoot him to death:
"Go on, what else do you know? How long did they meet in Fuyuan Building?
"For such a long time, what kind of wine did they order and what kind of food did they eat?

"You should have already looked for the shopkeeper of Fuyuan Building, what did he say?

"What kind of clothes did the person who met him look like?

"Since Fuyuan Building left, which direction did they go?

"Since the old monster chose to meet him in Benma County, is this person a native of Benma County?
"Among the questions I asked, how many can you answer?"

Tie Chengting's head was sweating coldly, he was vague, and in the end there was only one question he could answer.

The old monster saw that person, it was a thin man.

But he couldn't see his face clearly. He was wearing a big hat on his head, covering half of his face.

And the reason why it can be confirmed that it is a man is because the voice is old and deep, it is definitely not a woman's appearance, and you can see a white beard from under the bamboo hat.

The clothes are not gorgeous, just a set of ordinary linen clothes.

There is no special smell on the body, only a faint fragrance.

Jiang Ran listened and nodded. His answer was so detailed, it should be that the person who asked was also very detailed.

A thin old man with a bamboo hat, a gray beard, a linen shirt, and a scent on his body.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Ran said to Li Tianxin:
"Break his legs."

Li Tianxin glanced at Jiang Ran, curled his lips, walked up to him, swiped the sword with his hand, and heard two clicks.

The bones of the iron legs were smashed to pieces immediately.

A shrill scream sounded immediately, and at the same time, I was still very confused... I already had something to say, so why did I break my leg?
Fortunately, there was no paint on his legs that Jiang Ran had just wiped on his forehead, otherwise, he couldn't even imagine what he would suffer.

At this moment, there were footsteps outside the door.

Li Tianxin looked back:
"It's the old horse."

"Open the door."

Jiang Ran said softly.

Li Tianxin nodded and stood still.

Until Ma Ye came to the door and was about to reach out to knock on the door, Li Tianxin flicked his sleeves, and with a movement of his inner breath, the door was suddenly shaken open by his inner force.

Master Ma stood outside the door with his paws pierced. After staying for a while, he quickly cupped his fists:

"Hero Li."

"come in."

Li Tianxin spoke lightly, with a cold and arrogant expression.

Jiang Ran was speechless for a while... Is this considered a holiness in front of others?

Hearing this, Master Ma hurried in, first glanced at Tie Cheng who was lying on the ground, sweating from the pain.

He glanced at Jiang Ran who was sitting on the side with a teacup in his hand.

Immediately, I quickly saluted and saw him again.

Jiang Ran waved his hand:

"Master Ma, you don't need to be too polite. I asked you to come here to tell you something."

"Jiang Daxia just say what he wants, and my old horse will never frown when he goes up the mountain of knives and down the pan of oil."

Ma Ye patted his chest and promised.

Jiang Ran smiled:
"You don't need to make such a big sacrifice."

He pointed at Tiecheng:

"Behind this person, there is an expert. If he fell tonight, the next time it will be the expert behind him."

When Master Ma heard this, his face turned pale.

Tonight is just an iron, if you really want to kill them, killing them is like killing chickens and ducks.

Now that Tie Cheng is backed by masters, this... what should I do?
Jiang Ran smiled:
"But don't worry, they have something for you.

"Although the way of asking for help is different from that of normal people, you just need to agree to them.

"As for Tiecheng... just say, after he knocked you down tonight, he tortured a few of your subordinates.

"Then left an order and left.

"Where you went, what you did, you don't know.

"have you understood?"

"Yes, the old horse understands."

Master Ma nodded immediately, and he did understand what Jiang Ran meant.

"It's good to understand."

Jiang Ran waved his hand:

"Repair the yard as soon as possible, so that no one can see the flaws.

"I imagine that even if they come here, they will have to go tomorrow night... this night's effort should be about the same, and they may not be able to see the flaws under the darkness."

"Yes."

Master Ma nodded immediately: "What orders does Hero Jiang have?"

"Go."

Jiang Ran said:

"You don't need to do what I told you before, and then follow the clues they gave you.

"However, no matter what the result is, let me know first."

"As ordered!"

Master Ma clenched his fists hard before turning around and retreating.

Li Tianxin watched him leave, tsk tut and said:

"You saved their lives tonight, this old horse seems to really obey you."

Jiang Ran glanced at him:
"So what?"

"You probably don't have any friends."

Li Tianxin shook his head, turned and went out.

Jiang Ran smiled dumbly, what kind of friends does a dying person want?
Turning to look at Tiecheng:
"Go, I'll take you to another place."

Tie Cheng: "??"

……

……

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

Last night, Dugu Yu and Yin Yueniang indeed came to look for Master Ma.

Just as Jiang Ran expected.

Master Ma has also made sufficient preparations for this, and even tossed his three brothers with serious injuries.

After being inspected by Dugu Yu and Yin Yueniang, it can be regarded as muddling through.

Just ask them to do things as soon as possible, and notify them as soon as there is any news.

Then there is the county government.

Now it is the time when the willows are on the moon and the night is quiet.

A series of black shadows suddenly jumped up and down in the darkness, but they had already arrived in front of the county government office in a moment.

The leader waved his hand lightly, and the group of men in black dispersed immediately.

Break into it from all directions.

The yamen servants with guards found their tracks, and were either knocked unconscious by them or stunned by drugs.

In a blink of an eye, the group rushed to the courtyard where they lived all year round.

Just as he was about to set foot in it, a sharp sword energy suddenly descended from the sky.

Before the first person realized what happened, he was split into two by the sword energy.

"is her!"

During this day, other places are peaceful, but this county government is still not peaceful.

They made two shots, and each time they came back with a feather in their hands.

Although Shi Miao has a straightforward personality, but his martial arts are extremely high, if it wasn't for the sinister gongs and drums that day, which made her have no way to guard against them, those six people would have died by her sword long ago.

Everyone looked up at this moment, and sure enough, they saw Shi Miao, dressed in white, standing on top of the courtyard building.

The night is full of stars as its curtain, just like a celestial being exiled from the dust.

Her long sword flashed coldly, and the moment her eyes turned, the coldness rose sharply.

If there is a disagreement, the sword will be used to kill.

A group of men in black didn't dare to move rashly for a while.

This woman really shocked many heretic masters with the power of one person.

But at this moment, two figures on the left and one on the right flew up.

A woman in black clothes, with a charming face and a slight sickness.

Under her sleeves, something seemed to be shaking slightly.

The other one is a man with five short stature, and there is a golden tripod under his buttocks.

The two lined up on the left and right, looked at Shi Miao, and heard Jin Sanding laughing:
"Son of the Danyang Sword Sect, your martial arts skills are really high.

"But the people we came here today are not easy to get along with.

"You might be able to kill us, but if we want to kill Chang Nian, you probably won't be able to stop us."

Shi Miao's eyes sharpened, and he glanced at Jin Sanding coldly:
"You can try."

Jin Sanding only felt that this gaze was really like a sword, and when she looked at it, it was like being pointed at by a sword.

I couldn't help shivering, and laughed dryly:
"Women are too fierce, and they won't be able to marry in the future. You don't want to be a widow like Miss Wu, do you?"

"I bother!"

Lady Wu sneered at the side:
"She doesn't even have the qualifications to be a widow, how could anyone be willing to marry a sword?

"Besides, what's the matter with the widow? How comfortable the widow is, I like to kick the door."

"Really? Then I'll kick the door after I finish my business tonight."

Jin Sanding heard the words and was eager to try.

Miss Wu smiled even more charmingly:
"That's great, my little ones, to have something to eat."

"...You like to kick the widow's door, is it the poison that is going to be fed to you?"

"Otherwise? What else can it be used for?"

The two of them suddenly fell in love with each other that day.

The three-foot green blade in Shi Miao's palm trembled slightly, obviously unable to hold back.

And at this moment, a perennial voice came from the room:
"Everyone came at night, why did you come?"

With a creak, the door opened, and Perennial stepped out of the room with an official face, and glanced at the crowd of evil spirits in the field.

"Master Chang."

Miss Wu smiled slightly:
"I've seen adults, it turns out that adults look like this.

"In the past two days, people have been sent over and over again to invite him, but Mr. Chang is unwilling to honor him.

"No, we have no choice but to come in person."

"It turns out that it is you monsters who have caused chaos in the county government these few days."

His face darkened all the year round:
"This is the county government office of the Jinchan Dynasty, this official is the county magistrate of the Jinchan Dynasty, and you are all citizens of the Jinchan Dynasty.

"Such arrogance, is it because you want to rebel?"

"Don't dare."

Mrs. Wu smiled:
"I'm here today, I just want to ask Mr. Chang for a favor."

"What if I say no to help?"

His face is always cold.

"You are the county magistrate, what can you say if you don't help us?
"It's nothing more than killing all the people in this county government, and finally sending Mr. Chang to die.

"By the way, the little girl on the roof who has repeatedly protected you will suffer too!"

Jin Sanding said with a smile: "Master Chang, even if you are not afraid of death, you have to consider the safety of the people around you, right?"

"You...you are so bold!!!"

Perennially furious: "It's simply unreasonable, unreasonable!"

"I waited for the audacity not to start today, Mr. Chang, please listen carefully, the first thing.

"About [-] days ago, there was a thin old man wearing a bamboo hat in Fuyuan Building, we need to know his whereabouts.

"This point may not be able to be investigated with our ability, but it should not be difficult with Mr. Chang's ability."

Miss Wu didn't give him a chance to say more, and said directly:
"The second thing...is about 20 years ago."

I was still furious all the year round, but when I heard this, I was taken aback:
"20 years ago?"

At the same time, Jiang Ran, who was sitting in the room, was also dumbfounded.

The first thing did not exceed his expectations.

But where did the second matter come from?
Speaking of it, Jiang Ran also thought it was weird before.

If you just want to investigate the person who met the old alcoholic that day, you shouldn't be able to arrest Chang Nian, take away his face, and replace him with someone else.

This is too cumbersome and troublesome.

What's more, you only need to go to Master Ma to solve this problem.

It now appears that they have another purpose.

That's why I had to turn to the county government for help.

Perennial has calmed down a lot at this time, but he can't help frowning:

"How can we track down what happened 20 years ago?

"You guys don't want to be whimsical!"

"There are clues."

Jin Sanding said with a smile:

"One winter 20 years ago, a man came to Benma County with a child in his arms.

"Stayed in Benma County for a few days.

"The child is too young, just a few days after birth, the man has no milk to feed.

"The man could only find a family that had just given birth and borrow milk to feed the child.

"To express his gratitude, he once left a token for the family.

"And it is said that after 20 years, if the disciples of the younger generation are in danger, they only need to bring this token to look for them. No matter what kind of big and difficult things they are, he will help.

"What we want to bother Mr. Chang is to find a way... to find that young couple from back then, and then, to find that token."

Jiang Ran listened quietly, 20 years ago, winter, baby, token.

The child they were talking about...could it be him?
Jiang Ran looked out of the window, and suddenly felt that he and this Benma County seemed to be quite destined.

At the same time, Perennial seems to be caught in a battle between heaven and man.

After a long time, just said in a cold voice:
"This officer can't do it.

"The situation has changed in the past 20 years. The person you mentioned may not be still in Benma County."

"Master Chang, there is no need to worry. If they have already left Benma County, you only need to hand over the clues of where they went."
