[Comprehensive martial arts] Drawing swords to help

For a moment, a series of conspiracies flashed through Yang Chun's mind, but she rejected them one by one.If she had lingering fears about the previous experience when she first came here, she would inevitably have a bit of persecution paranoia, but now she has regained her reason because of her peaceful life, and she no longer has unnecessary worries.In the past, Xu Ran, who was a magistrate with a lot of resources, might be qualified to be dealt with by Tianmingjiao and Gan Luoshan, but now he is just a small county magistrate, even if he believes that Hu Weiyong is a member of Tianmingjiao, he can't change it His humble status and the fact that he is thousands of miles away from the emperor.Taking a step back, even if someone from the Destiny Church knows that Xu Ran will cause trouble for them and wants to harm him, they only need to set up an ambush on his way to Huangshui Town, there is no need for such a complicated situation.In fact, it was this kind of thinking that prompted her to agree to Xu Ran's request that she only take Chang to accompany her safely.

If her idea is not wrong, the arrival of this bad news can be said to be inexplicable.

"Mao Baiyi? He stayed well in Ganluo Mountain City, and I will not interfere with him. What is he doing here?" Yang Chun raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Lanxi Town is located where various commercial roads converge, so the income from robbery here is naturally extraordinary, but in the past it had a special geographical location, and Ganluo Mountain City, Zunxinmen, and Nujiao Gang were all within reach, so the result was None of them can take the top spot, which also made Lanxi calm for a long time in the past. It's just..."

"It's just that the old gang leader of the Nujiao Gang passed away, and there was too much waste in the gang. Although there has been a tendency to raise its head again in recent years, it will take some time to make up for the lost vitality after all; Ganluo Mountain City and Zunxinmen are trying to capture Nu. The Jiao Gang all ended in failure, so it cannot be said that they are not immune to blows, especially Zun Xinmen lost many generals in a row and suffered enough. Therefore, although the three-point situation still exists, there are huge differences in the details. It's different. In the last battle, Ganluo Mountain City suffered the least amount of actual losses, and it's normal for Ganluo's subordinates to be eager to attack Lanxi. I think Mao Baiyi should have drawn from it by secretly reaching an agreement with the Red Turban Gang Certain benefits, the business of the Red Turban Gang is also his business, and now that the business has collapsed, he naturally has to vent his anger. Now that Xu Ran is not here, it seems that there is no backbone in the town. It is a good time to attack. You are right. Isn't it?" Yang Chun quickly deduced the cause and effect, and from the expression of the person in front of her, she knew that she had guessed correctly.

Mao Baiyi's subordinate sighed and said, "It's not bad at all."

"Since that's the case, why did you tell me to stay here?" Yang Chun asked, "Isn't it to ensure that your master can catch me?"

The man smiled wryly and said: "I originally wanted to go back and report to my life after investigating the situation like in the past, but after I came here, I saw that all the people in the town were smiling, contented and happy, and the shops were also busy. It's a waste of time and waiting for the new... I have heard about Master Xu's reputation in the past, and know that he is a good official who loves the people like a son, and is different from ordinary court eagles and dogs. To be honest, my hometown was also under the jurisdiction of Master Xu Hey, folks always talk about Master Xu without hesitation... I know I am not a good person, but I am not willing to be a pawn who licks blood on the tip of a knife for the rest of my life, obeys orders, and does nothing. Maybe I am not a big man, But I also don’t want to tell others that I haven’t even been able to keep this little bit of conscience in my life.”

What he said seemed to be very clear and easy to understand, but Yang Chun couldn't help thinking of those more profound and complicated truths about life, conscience, and soul because of his words, and couldn't help feeling a little sad in his heart .

The man clasped his fists again and left without even telling Yang Chun his name.

*******************************************************************

Xu Ran's feet went limp when he smelled the fragrance. Fortunately, Zhu Ruoxu seemed to simply think that he hadn't recovered from the tension brought about by the news of "Miss Fang fell into the water", and didn't feel any more serious emotions. There were many doubts, and luckily he couldn't go to the dining room with Xu Ran because he needed to go back and change clothes.

"I'll lose at least ten years of my life." Xu Ran murmured to himself as he watched the young man he had a crush on drift away.

"Although Ruoxu's thoughts are serious, he is still a good person." Wang Shijie, who had been silent like a wooden stake, suddenly said, his words actually meant to defend Zhu Ruoxu.

"Have you known him for a long time?" Xu Ran asked.

"...not very long." Wang Shijie replied, "But getting to know someone is not always about time."

"He was just a businessman all along?"

"...No one has always been anything." Wang Shijie said vaguely, Xu Ran felt that he seemed to know something about Zhu Ruoxu's past, but obviously he was able to accept what he knew, which surprised him .But I have to admit that because of Wang Shijie's words, his original alertness and panic caused by the aroma of 'Siji Gui' have dissipated a lot.

In its place was an almost audacious idea.

"I think I can directly apologize to Master Chang." After hearing Xu Ran's proposal, Chang Ping'an could almost be described as "broken", "My lord, a villain who doesn't know martial arts, will definitely not be able to protect you."

"I don't need your protection." Xu Ran said, "There will be no problem, and there is no better way now."

"I think any method is better than talking face-to-face with a murderer, especially if the murderer is a member of the Destiny Cult." Chang Anan pointed out, "The people in the Destiny Cult are all paranoid people who grind their teeth every day. Blood madman."

"But Zhu Ruoxu saved Miss Fang today."

"That may be because she is useful to him." Chang Anan said, "Didn't you find out? Not only do we not understand the guests here, but even the Fang family, which we should be very familiar with, are somewhat unclear."

"So we should work harder to find out, instead of waiting for the answer to fall from the sky." Xu Ran said, "From the time I established a cooperative relationship with Xieyimen, everything I did was risky. Yes, but I was lucky enough to avoid them, and I learned a truth from it—there is no way in this world that leads to the goal without being dangerous.”

"But……"

"You should learn to trust me, just like Yang Chun trusts me. I really don't know martial arts, but it just means that I need other people's support many times. It doesn't mean that I am weak, nor does it mean that my life is He is so contemptible that he can be manipulated by others and by himself at will." Xu Ran said.

This time it is very safe and no words can be used to refute it.

He followed Xu Ran, watched him knock on Zhu Ruoxu's door, and listened to him asking his question straightforwardly.

"Young masters, I smell a very special fragrance on your body, but it is exactly the same as Wang Shusheng's. Do you dare to know him?"

There was undisguised surprise on Zhu Ruoxu's face.

"This...maybe it's a coincidence," he said.

If he is really a member of the Destiny Cult, this obvious pause can be said to be a disgrace to the Destiny Cult.His reaction made Xu Ran hesitate for a moment, but after this brief hesitation, Xu Ran still asked the most lethal question: "Osmanthus fragrans that bloom in four seasons, are they very common?"

Zhu Ruoxu suddenly changed color.

At this moment, with his hands behind his back, Chang Pingan could see some changes in the muscles in his arms, which made his heart rise to the top of his throat.

"Since you know 'Siji Gui', you should know who I am." Zhu Ruoxu said coldly, his star-like eyes shone with a cold light, "That scholar offended me, he deserved it What's the end? Master Xu also wants to follow in his footsteps."

"Young masters are joking, you were with me all that time, so where is the chance to commit crimes?" Xu Ran laughed.

"I'm afraid Mr. Xu can't think of people like us." Zhu Ruoxu twitched the corners of his mouth twice, showing a sneer. My chance to let you know the ways of people like us."

"I don't know who the young masters are trying to protect." Xu Ran ignored Zhu Ruoxu's scolding "What are you talking nonsense?", and continued, "It's just that the 'Siji Gui' is still in Wang Shusheng's house." In the hand, it means that it has not played its due role in a certain plan, and the person you want to protect may... is really innocent."

Zhu Ruoxu became quiet all of a sudden, just staring at Xu Ran.

"It's just that if you insist on keeping your mouth shut... I'm afraid the innocent will become innocent." Xu Ran said slowly, "Magistrate Ge has already found out about the maid. Since the case has not been closed yet, it means He intends to continue the investigation, who do you think he will investigate?"
