Urban Cultivation: The master who has overcome the tribulation is reborn

"One-armed sword He Lu."

"Horizontal Fist Gu Zian."

"I've met Daxia Jiang."

In a secluded courtyard somewhere, a man and a woman clasped their fists and saluted.

The person they were greeting nonchalantly picked up the cup and took a sip of the rather bitter tea.

"If your heart is not sincere, why should you respect me?"

As soon as Jiang Ran finished speaking, Yan Qiren, who was originally smiling and trying to win the favor of both parties, froze in his tracks and stood there in a state of slight embarrassment.

The left sleeve of the one-armed swordsman He Lu is empty, she has long legs, and there is a murderous look in her eyes that is rare in ordinary women.

"Brother Yan, why are you trying to win over someone who thinks highly of himself? I'll be the first one to disagree with his joining the organization."

He Lu was originally here discussing the escort matter with Gu Zian, but unexpectedly she happened to meet Yan Qiren.

Out of friendship, they treated Jiang Ran with courtesy. After all, everyone in the guild was a brother, and calling him a hero wouldn't be considered disrespectful if it got out.

However, he did not expect that as soon as Fang greeted him and did not even say a few words, this person put on an arrogant attitude.

From their words, I actually felt that their attitudes were not sincere enough, which was simply ridiculous.

If you want to convince them, you must prepare the corresponding strength.

Did he think that just by Yan Qiren's polite praise, he would become a great hero?

"Brother Jiang is not an ordinary person. He speaks according to his will. You two should not mind it."

When Yan Qiren saw He Lu's frown, he immediately raised his hands and tried to smooth things over with a smile on his face.

"It's none of my business whether you want to treat him as a brother or not."

He Lu was stopped by him and sneered twice, then turned to look at Gu Zian, who was wearing a bamboo hat and said nothing.

"Brother Gu, let's continue talking about escorting."

Yan Qiren turned a deaf ear to the secret sarcasm, glanced at Jiang Ran who seemed unmoved by anything, thought for a moment, and still couldn't resist his curiosity and moved closer to He Lu.

"Escort, where to escort? Whose escort?"

"It's none of your business." He Lu said stiffly, and pointed to the side, "Here, go and accompany your brother Jiang, otherwise people will think you are not sincere."

"Yang Zhen's escort, a batch of medicinal herbs."

Gu Zian's voice was hoarse and he was very frugal with his words.

"Who told you to say that!" He Lu glared at him, but didn't really make a fuss.

"Yang Zhen?" Yan Qiren repeated with a frown, then widened his eyes, "You want to borrow the road from Yanshan?"

"There is a brother in the club who is familiar with Mr. Jin's subordinates. He passed on the news that they only took 30% of this batch of goods, and there is still some profit."

Gu Zian raised his head from under his bamboo hat, his face was rough and he looked honest and simple.

"Old Gu, this is no joke." Yan Qiren frowned, "Golden Eyed Biao is not someone who listens to advice."

"Did his subordinates really only take 30% when they said they would take 30%? What's more, what's staked are medicinal materials. I can't think of any reason not to be greedy."

Gu Zian pursed his lips and shook his head as if unwilling to explain, "Trust me."

"I say, Yan Qiren, how come you are like a different person? You don't even trust Brother Gu?"

He Lu looked at Yan Qiren in disbelief, as if she wanted to dig a hole in him with her eyes.

"It's not that I don't trust you... Hey..." Yan Qiren scratched his head anxiously, then sighed, "Brother Jiang and I are going to Yanshan too."

Gu Zian's eyes moved slightly, and he asked casually, "What are you doing in Yanshan?"

He Lu looked as if she had seen a ghost. "When you encounter these things on weekdays, don't you try to stay as far away as possible? Why did you change your mind today?"

"Let's make it clear in advance that I can only give you 20% of the money at most. As for your brother Jiang, it's better for you not to get involved in this mess."

Yan Qiren turned his head and took a quick look, then snorted unhappily, "Who cares about your little silver? I went to Yanshan this time to prepare for dealing with the Golden Eyed Biao."

After traveling all the way from the county to here, and after the blood in his chest had calmed down, he felt that he had thought a lot of things through.

First of all, Jiang Ran’s martial arts skills should be higher than his. Secondly, judging from his appearance and demeanor, his family background is also extremely extraordinary.

Analyzing from these two points, it is unlikely that the other party is a young man who is so foolish as to lead him into the bandit's lair.

Then the truth is obvious. Jiang Ran probably controls a force that is enough to destroy the Yanshan bandit leader. He probably dragged him to borrow the power of the Friendship Association to increase the chances of success.

Saying something like asking him to go to Yanshan was most likely to test his determination and prevent the news from leaking out.

After reasoning all this, Yan Qiren breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he couldn't help but be amazed at Jiang Ran's steadiness.

"You're crazy, you really are crazy."

He Lu looked at Yan Qiren as if he were a fool, smacking her lips with a look of pity on her face.

Yan Qiren was about to retort, but was interrupted by Gu Zian, who had been silent just now.

"The vice president passed on information that the prefect of Yanshan and Mr. Jin were secretly in collusion. Not only did they provide weapons and armor, they also had the intention of recruiting them."

"Once you have received the amnesty order, you are a member of the Qing court. Every peasant has to address you as sir."

"By then, not to mention dealing with Mr. Jin, I'm afraid you will even be treated as a bandit and be eliminated."

Gu Zian changed his previous frugal nature in speaking and revealed a shocking piece of news in his long speech.

Yan Qiren was silent for a while, then he clenched his fists and his face flushed.

"Recruitment?!"

"Golden Eyed Biao is a murderer who has no patience for killing people. He even believes that a baby's heart blood can increase longevity. Why should the Qing government recruit him?"

"Why?!"

He knew that he couldn't gather enough energy to overthrow the Golden Eyed Tiger on his own.

But at least after meeting Jiang Ran, he did not back down when he guessed that there was such an opportunity.

But now Gu Zian told him personally that the Yanshan bandit leader would soon become an official. Who the hell could he go to for justice?

"They have dominated Yanshan for several years, and their power has gradually grown."

"Thanks to the favor of the governor, he has many talented people under his command."

"With the firearms in their hands, one shot can kill us martial artists."

He Lu looked at Yan Qiren's indignant expression and shook her head in disappointment.

Several years have passed, and the other party still seems unable to recognize the facts.

No matter how corrupt the Qing Dynasty was, it was still the master of the world.

How could it be overthrown by one person's bravery alone?

Not to mention the distant consequences, even if the Allied Forces mobilized all their forces to deal with the Golden Eyed Tiger alone, the outcome would still be uncertain.

Besides, are all the brothers in the society really not afraid of death and willing to sacrifice their lives?

Yan Qiren was struck by lightning and was speechless for a moment. He could only turn his head stiffly and look at the man sitting at the stone table.

Jiang Ran ignored the three glances directed at him one after another, and asked Erya, who was watching the show intently, to bring him another cup of tea.

For some reason, seeing this calm and peaceful scene, Yan Qiren suddenly felt not so angry anymore.

"By the way, Brother Yan, have you found out anything about what the vice president told you about a while ago?"

He Lu followed his gaze and saw the same scene, but she curled her lips in disdain, secretly feeling that Jiang Ran's ability to pretend was simply extraordinary.

After thinking about it, he decided not to provoke Yan Qiren, who was almost furious, and changed the subject casually.

This question immediately drew the attention of the two people beside him, but Gu Zian's eyes kept moving back and forth between Jiang Ran and Yan Qiren, and no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
