Ji Lang didn't trust the people in the mansion, so he secretly asked Xu Qin for help and hired a dozen or so martial arts as guards from outside, and asked them to accompany him secretly.

Mrs. Ji sent Ji Lang out, and worriedly told him repeatedly: "Be careful on the road, and come back early after dealing with things over there."

"Understood, mother." Ji Lang looked deeply at Mrs. Ji, "You and father should be more careful at home."

"What can we do at home?" Mrs. Ji chuckled lightly, and then said with a worried face, "You must be careful outside."

"Mom, don't worry, I'll be back soon."

After bidding farewell to Mrs. Ji, Ji Lang boarded the carriage together with the shopkeeper of the head office, and accompanied by a team of guards, headed for the neighboring town.

The big shopkeeper is the old shopkeeper of Ji's family. When he was young, he ran errands with Ji Lang's grandfather and worked hard in Ji's shop for most of his life.Master Ji respects him, and so does Ji Lang.

At the same time, the shopkeeper was still a person who watched Ji Lang grow up. Hearing that this time Ji Lang was going to the neighboring town instead of Mr. Ji, he offered to accompany Ji Lang there.

After getting into the carriage, the big shopkeeper saw that Ji Lang's eyes were full of worry, and said lovingly: "Don't worry, young master, there is nothing that can't be solved."

"Yeah." Ji Lang nodded slightly, and asked, "Boss shopkeeper, has my father had any enemies during these years in business?"

The big shopkeeper was slightly stunned, sighed, and said: "After so many years in business, it is basically impossible to say that there is no enemy. But no matter how big the enemy is, at most it is just cursing everywhere, and it is not enough to hire someone. People steal and loot."

Ji Lang asked: "What kind of people are they? Please tell me, the shopkeeper."

The big shopkeeper hesitated for a while, and finally chose to tell him.

Ji Lang listened earnestly, which really made people resentful, but it was not a deep hatred.

"What about business competition?"

"As long as it's a business, competition is inevitable. But, please rest assured, the Ji family's shop abides by the rules and will not do bad things illegally."

Ji Lang nodded, "I believe."

The big shopkeeper thought for a moment, and then asked: "Young master, do you have any doubts?"

"To tell you the truth, my parents were injured suddenly. I received news that several shops in the neighboring town were stolen or robbed that day. It's very suspicious no matter how you think about it."

"It's indeed a coincidence, but it doesn't make sense." The big shopkeeper also thought about this question, "both the boss and his wife were only slightly injured. Who would do these things, and what good will it do him?"

"I hope it's just a coincidence." Ji Lang was worried, maybe that person's purpose was to lure him away from Yunzhou City.

After leaving the city, they need to go through a slightly remote mountain road.

Just here, a group of robbers suddenly rushed out and blocked their way.

The big shopkeeper immediately protected Ji Lang behind him, and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, young master, the worst thing is to spend money to eliminate the disaster, and the guards will take care of it."

Ji Lang couldn't help showing a smile, and said in a warm voice: "Don't worry, the shopkeeper, I have already made arrangements."

"Huh?" The shopkeeper looked at him in surprise.

Ji Lang nodded to him with a smile, and continued to sit in the car calmly.

Seeing this, the big shopkeeper showed a relieved smile after being astonished, and sat with him calmly.

Outside the carriage, the robbers would not take the hard and the soft, and chopped them with their knives.The sword clashed, and a stream of blood slanted across the wall of the car.The guards accompanying the Ji family gradually lost to the robbers, Ji Lang frowned almost imperceptibly.

At the critical moment, Wu Xiu, whom Ji Lang invited in advance, suddenly joined the battle and quickly controlled the battle scene.

Wu Xiu, who led the team, knocked on the car door and said loudly, "Master Ji, all the robbers have been taken down."

Ji Lang opened the car door and walked out, looking at the injured guards of Ji's mansion and the captured robber.

"Thank you for your hard work." Ji Lang thanked the martial artists.

"Young Master Ji is being polite. How should we deal with these people?"

"Leave it to the government. However, I want to ask them a question first."

Ji Lang walked towards the robber, and said calmly, "If some of you can tell me who ordered you, maybe I can let you live."

One of them smiled and said, "Heh, Young Master Ji, just now he wanted to send us to the government."

Ji Lang couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "You know me?"

The robber who made the sound was slightly taken aback, his eyes dodged for a moment, and he said, "Isn't that what that person called you just now?"

A martial artist stepped forward and said confidently: "Young Master Ji, you might as well hand him over to us for interrogation and keep it for you to ask."

Another martial artist said with a nonchalant smile, "Yes, Young Master Ji can leave it to us with confidence. The last person we interrogated persisted for a day and a night, and finally let the matter go when he had only one breath left." It was all revealed."

After the words fell, someone among the robbers obviously flinched.

"Okay." Ji Lang turned back to the carriage.

The big shopkeeper asked worriedly: "Young master, did you invite those people here?"

"Yes, plan ahead."

Among the martial artists invited by Ji Lang, five were at the foundation-building stage, and the leader was at the ninth floor of the foundation-building stage, overwhelming the guards and robbers of Ji's mansion.

The big shopkeeper hesitated to ask the young master if he knew something inside, but Ji Lang had already walked up to the injured guard.

Seeing that the guards were only slightly injured, Ji Lang felt relieved, and turned to the escort team leader who was accompanying him this time and asked, "If I didn't make other arrangements in advance, how do you plan to deal with it?"

The captain was slightly stunned, and said, "I will protect the young master to the death."

Ji Lang sneered and waved to Wu Xiu, "What did you see?"

Wu Xiu pointed out a few guards, and replied in a calm manner: "Except for these few who are serious about fighting the robbers, the others are very perfunctory. Especially this one, he doesn't use any strength in his hands." Wu Xiu said In the end, he specifically emphasized the captain of the guard.

The captain showed panic, and argued: "Young master, the villain has wronged you. We will do our best to protect the young master, how can we allow outsiders to sow discord!"

Wu Xiu sneered, and still said in a calm manner: "You are also a monk at the ninth floor of the Qi refining period, and the highest cultivation level among the robbers is only at the seventh floor of the Qi refining period, how could you be beaten?" Retreating, putting Young Master Ji in danger?"

The captain was speechless, his face tensed.

The guards moved subconsciously, forming two factions invisibly.

At this time, some of the gangsters could not withstand Wu Xiu's coercion and opened their mouths.

"Someone paid us to lie in ambush here, specially waiting for the carriage of Ji's family, a wealthy businessman in Yunzhou."

Subsequently, the robber identified the captain of the guard.

If the robber and the guard hadn't been informed in advance, how could the desperate struggle be faked?

Ji Lang took a deep breath, "Tell me, who ordered it? Erniang or Ji Lin?"

A fierce light flashed in the captain's eyes, and he quickly shot at Ji Lang, but there was a higher-level martial artist standing beside Ji Lang, and he was chopped down by a hand blade before he touched Ji Lang.

Seeing this, the accomplice guards repeatedly begged for mercy.

Ji Lang didn't get angry and pretended to be arrogant, and said lightly: "Betraying the master's family and murdering the employer's life, my Ji family can't keep you anymore, you go."

"Young master, we know we were wrong, we shouldn't be greedy for money, and we will never dare again, please forgive us this time." They all know that if they are fired because of this, no one will be willing to hire them in the future .

Ji Lang narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "If my father handles this matter, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as letting you go."

The guards' begging for mercy gradually subsided, hesitantly kowtowed to Ji Lang, and left with a complicated mood.

Suddenly, someone turned around and said, "Eldest young master, please be careful of the side wife and the second young master."

The remaining guards looked at each other.

Someone glanced at the guard captain who fell on the ground and asked, "Eldest Young Master, what should he do?"

"Take it back and hand it to my father." Perhaps it was these people who killed Master Ji in the original plot, Ji Lang calmly dealt with it.

If the guards who left just now were escorted back together, then there would be more escorts, which would affect their journey to the neighboring town.He thought to himself, those few are young people, and the contract is still in Ji's house, so they might run away without a trace.

The big shopkeeper looked at Ji Lang silently, his eyes were full of admiration, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.

The two Wuxiu and the rest of Ji's guard escorted the guard captain and the robbers back to Yunzhou City, and the rest of Wuxiu escorted Ji Lang and the shopkeeper to the neighboring town.

The head shopkeeper smiled until his eyes were narrowed, and he repeatedly praised: "The young master has grown up. After three days of farewell, you should look at him with admiration."

"The shopkeeper is absurd."

"Eldest young master, when did you see through such tricks?"

"After my parents were injured, I asked the relevant servants in the mansion. In addition, I encountered a group of gangsters blocking the way that day. I asked for some money. They told me that the person who ordered them entered the Ji mansion through the back door. If anyone in the mansion is suspicious, it must be Er Niang and Second Brother."

Speaking of this, Ji Lang paused for a moment, and sighed slightly, "I don't want to doubt them without proof. When Dad wanted to go to the neighboring town in person, I offered to handle it for him. What I didn't expect was that the shopkeeper He will personally accompany me there, and the shopkeeper will be frightened."

The big shopkeeper twisted his beard and laughed loudly: "It's a good thing I'm here, otherwise how could I see the majestic side of the young master?"

"I made the shopkeeper laugh." Ji Lang smiled shyly.

Suddenly, the shopkeeper put away his smile and asked solemnly: "Young master has started to study inscriptions, what are your plans for the future?"

Ji Lang said without hesitation: "Since I have started to learn inscriptions, I will not give up lightly." If you can learn inscriptions well and become a high-level inscription master, you will not only earn more than Cheap Daddy, but also ensure your personal and property safety.

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, and then said to Ji Lang earnestly: "There is an imperial city outside Yunzhou City and a wider world, and there are unfathomable hermit clans outside the various immortal gates. The young master is brave and resourceful, and With such a good inscription talent, only by going out can we have a better future."
