Opposite the entrance hall

Wang Yangchun and the others discovered that Zhao Wu had disappeared. It was a few days later that they managed to find Zhao Wu's trace. They checked around the low courtyard, but there was no one there. Only then did I realize that something was wrong, and hurriedly reported it.

As soon as the news reached the ears of several people, people panicked immediately. Cao Ping was so pale that he almost slipped off the chair, muttering non-stop, "It's over, it's over, this time it's over."

His words were like a curse that threatened his life. Wang Yangchun, who was pacing back and forth, was disturbed by the noise. He kicked at the person with a sullen face and yelled sharply, "Shut up, you don't want to think about it in this situation. It’s not bad luck if you’re still talking about something or nothing!”

"Then what do you say!" Cao Ping was kicked and fell to the ground. When he got up, he didn't care to get angry, but he just yelled back unwilling to show weakness, "Zhao Wu knows so many things about us, could it be that he secretly Run away!"

"It's okay if he sneaks out of the city, but I'm afraid it will fall into the hands of Guo Jingyi or Ji Si, and it will really be over by then."

"Then what should we do now?" Zhang Jing beside him also had a sad expression on his face. Everyone in the room knew the seriousness of this matter. Zhao Wu was deeply involved, and he was involved in many shady things. But there is no harm. At the beginning, the original intention was to eradicate the weeds, but unexpectedly, this person has a strong sense of danger. He played a trick to escape the shell, and quietly sent people to search for many days. Finally, he found some clues. I never thought that it was a step too late. .

Wang Yangchun's complexion was extremely bad. Since Ji Si and his party came, the situation that was clearly under his control gradually deviated from the track, and he ran towards a direction that no one could tell, as if he was destined in the dark. He stopped and stood in front of the door looking at the crescent moon hanging high in the sky in the courtyard.

After a while, he heard his voice, "No matter who owns Zhao Wu, the current situation is not good for us. All we can do is to seize the opportunity. If we want to treat us as lambs to be slaughtered, then we will do it!" The knife to kill people, this is not up to them to have the final say!"

The long night is not yet clear, but with only the weak moonlight, it dares to compete with the blazing sun in an attempt to illuminate the vast world.

Everyone in Wanping is like a grasshopper on a rope, each with ghosts and ulterior motives, everyone wants to live, but everyone wants the other to die, each has plans in mind, and the surface barely maintains harmony. Want to be that knife but don't want to be a leader, the situation is deadlocked, and finally broke up unhappy.

People left one after another, Wang Yangchun was the only one left in the hall, his figure remained unmoved, he still maintained this posture, Mochizuki sighed, there was no news from Lin'an for a long time, he had already noticed something was wrong, and now Fanping seems to be calm, But in fact, it has long been a lonely boat in the ocean, crumbling and with no way out.

Many unexplained things have gradually become clear. From the very beginning, Ji Si came here to embezzle the military salary. All the previous events were just a high-sounding show for the common people. He was directly filmed by the emperor, which represented the emperor's will Well, the emperor wants to peel off the cocoon of Fanping little by little, so that they can spit out everything they have swallowed in these years!

The more he thought about it, the uglier Wang Yangchun's face became. Just as he thought before, Ji Buyan pretended to be a pig and eat a tiger with deep thoughts. That person knew everything about himself, but he didn't know anything about it. This rumor was released by Ji Si in order to confuse the public. The game was in an uneven situation from the very beginning.

Disrupting everything, Wang Yangchun was really flustered at the moment, suddenly his ears moved, he heard movement behind him, his face was flustered, he turned his head suddenly, and saw that there were more people in the room than he knew when. A person was found, who was sitting where Cao Ping was sitting before.

This person is dressed in black, but he can appear here without anyone noticing. He must have high martial arts skills. How did you come in, come on..."

"It's better for Wang Buzheng to keep quiet. This knife is very fast. If your hand shakes and accidentally hurts you, what should you do?" The man in black pulled out a long knife and laid it across Wang Yangchun's neck. Blocked back the unfinished words, "I don't have any malicious intentions, but I was ordered to make a deal with you that is sure to make a profit!"

A knife with a cold light lay across his neck. Wang Yangchun didn't even dare to breathe. He could even feel the cold air coming from the blade. Ren snorted coldly, "If you want to make a deal, this is your sincerity, so it doesn't matter if you don't make this deal!"

"I was worried that others would disrupt our conversation, so I was in a hurry, and I hope the Chief Minister Wang will forgive me," the man in black said with a smile, took a step back and put away the long knife, and saluted in a dignified manner. Standing aside, they discussed very politely, "As for this transaction, the Wang Buzheng should not rush to refuse it first, it is better to make a decision after hearing it. Our sincerity will definitely not disappoint the Wang Buzheng."

Wang Yangchun straightened his clothes with a dark face, and looked up and down at the uninvited guest in front of him. He was not stupid to know that this person was hiding his identity, so he squinted his eyes and thought about this person's identity in his heart, and thought about how to get out, " A person who doesn't even dare to show his face is sincere to this official? It's really a joke, this official is not interested in the deal you said, if you are interested, you can leave on your own, otherwise you can't leave if you want to!"

"It's because I didn't consider it thoroughly, so I apologize here."

After saying that, the man tore off the black cloth from his face.

When his face was revealed, Wang Yangchun's pupils trembled, and he suddenly stared round, pointing at people with trembling fingers, panicking, "It's you, you are..."

The wind was blowing, and the unclosed windows were blown loudly by the wind. The wind penetrated into the house, shaking the candlelight, and the light and shadow dimmed, almost being blown out. At this time, a pair of The slender and white hands put the candlesticks on the table together, and the candlesticks with only a little spark gradually ignited again, and the room was bright again.

With a sound of "dong", the window was closed by someone, blocking the whistling wind outside, Chu Yi shrank his neck and walked back, muttering, "Why is there such a strong wind? There are still no clouds in the daytime, and there is no sign of a change."

Ji Si lowered his head and glanced at the candle that was covered by himself, and retracted his hand after making sure that it would not go out. Hearing the words of the first day of junior high school, he replied, "The wind is a bit humid, and it is estimated that it will rain later, Wan Ping It is normal for the higher terrain to have a variable climate."

On the first day of the junior high school, he sat down, propped his chin and yawned, his eyelids drooping, looking sleepy.

"Go to the next door and rest, Zhu Yingzhou can't leave people there."

"Let me sit with you for a while longer," Chu Yi shook his head, pulled himself together, lowered his voice and asked the doubts in his heart, "If you catch Zhao Wu, you don't have to worry about the suspicion of the officials in Fanping. Come on us?"

"I'm still worried that they won't suspect me."

The first day of junior high school who said this was even more puzzled. He frowned and scratched the back of his head. He really didn't understand why. After tracing it, there is no clue at all, isn't this creating a problem for yourself?"

"Zhao Wu has a lot to do with this matter. According to Wang Yangchun's temperament, he must kill the weeds, but if Zhao Wu has no news, they will definitely mess up. Most of these officials like Peng Ping are like dogs. They came together because of their interests. Benefits twist them into a single rope, making it impossible for people to start, but once people's hearts are not in harmony, they will be in chaos first. Since I can't turn over a nest, then I will change the way and break them one by one. From the start, they were bound to lose."

The affairs of the officialdom are complicated, and the first time I heard it, I seemed to understand it, but I didn't seem to understand it, so I had to nod in a daze in the end.

There was a sudden "dong dong dong" knock on the door, which was a little more strange in this windy night. Chu Yi and Ji Si looked at each other, and then there was another voice outside the house, "It's me."

"General Pei is back!" Chu called out in a low voice, and immediately regained his energy, swept away his drowsy appearance, and trotted to open the door. The sand was blowing so hard that people couldn't open their eyes, Pei Zhan got in sideways, and quickly closed the door.

"The rain comes as soon as it is said. If it is too late, I'm afraid I will be drenched." Pei Zhan patted the raindrops on his head that looked like a layer of hoarfrost. It was natural to sit opposite Ji Si Lift the teapot and pour tea.

"What's the matter?" Ji Si asked straight to the point.

"I've been busy in the middle of the night, let me take a breath first, the plowing cows have to rest for a while, I can't be inferior to a cow, right?" Pei Zhan said unhappily, and he felt comfortable after drinking a cup of hot tea After a while, he replied while refilling his glass, "That kid didn't say a single fart at first, he made up his mind to pretend to be dead to the end, and then I was tossed about for a while before he made a sound, and said everything he knew."

"How did General Pei make him speak? Can you tell me?" Chu Yi blinked, curious about this matter.

"Hey, don't ask too many questions, so as not to have nightmares at night, I'll tell you in detail when you get older." Pei Zhan rubbed Chuyi's head and narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"Let's get down to business first."

Pei Zhan glanced at Ji Si, sat upright, put away his playful expression, and became serious, "As we guessed at the beginning, this Zhao Wu is Wang Yangchun's hands and eyes, some inconvenience Wang Yangchun and the others will hand over to Zhao Wu the matter of coming forward, and Zhao Wu also found those girls."

Ji Si frowned, "Where did he find the girl?"

"How else can I find it? I'm cheating and abducting." Pei Zhan's words expressed his disdain and disdain for what Wang Yangchun and his party did. Those dirty things are simply insane and outrageous, "It is common for people to abandon or sell baby girls. Except for a few who cherish their daughters, most people just throw them away when they think they are lost. The children they give birth to are of their own accord. Is it qualified to decide whether to live or die, I learned from Zhao Wu that some people sell their daughters to him by themselves, and such people can also pretend to be parents."

"The tiger's poison is still not eating children. How can the biological parents have the heart to not even want their own daughters? Why did they give birth to them in the first place!" There was anger in the first glance, he himself was an orphan, although he didn't know himself. Why did my biological parents not want me, but if I didn't have a husband, I would have to beg on the side of the road for the rest of my life, so when I heard these things, my heart burst into anger and resentment.

"Heh," Ji Si laughed out loud, shaking his head and pouring tea from the teapot, "most people in the world are ignorant and ignorant, "heaven is respected and earth is humble, the universe is fixed.Low and high are old, high and low.The way of doing is a man, and the way of being a woman is a woman. "People in the world say that men are superior to women, and people of later generations think so, but even if they are sages, who can guarantee that they are right? Who sets the rules? Why do they make them so? It's just to satisfy one's own desires. serve the interests of the majority."

"This world is unfair to women. Others use the three obedience and four virtues to restrain women. It's not for any reason. It's just that they worry that one day the world will be divided into half by women. They worry that they won't be able to cover the light on women. The women around me are not inferior to men. , They are talented and virtuous, and their courage and tenacity far exceed most men in the world, since when did a person's dignity be distinguished by men and women?"

"The mothers of these children also grew up being disliked by others. They should have understood suffering, but in the end they became a knife. They wantonly trampled on other people's lives in the name of their parents, but it was useless to them by relying on the laws of the Jin Dynasty. , the cause of this life, the result of future generations, after a hundred years or a thousand years, there will be more men than women, and women must follow the path of their predecessors and find a new way to overthrow this unfair way. , equal in dignity and inferiority, they will be able to reap the consequences themselves."

What he said was not in a hurry, but it shocked the hearts of the two people in the room. Pei Zhan couldn't help but look at Ji Si twice, and felt that it was the first time he understood this person, who was different from the rumored treacherous person Calculating; it is also different from the usual jokes and slickness.

His whole body seemed to be shrouded in a halo, and his words and deeds carried an indescribable force, which seemed to make people feel convincing for no reason, and felt that what he said was bound to be true one day.

For some reason, Pei Zhan had a feeling in his heart: This person's temperament and appearance are extremely opposite to Ah Heng, after all, he is my brother-in-law, as a senior brother, I should protect him more.

Then I was taken aback by what I thought in my heart, and coughed twice, "Ahem, cough, as for those children who are cheated and stolen, according to Zhao Wu, he will bribe a few old people and pregnant women in advance to pretend to be a child." The harmless appearance of humans and animals coaxes those children, and then they are stunned and left openly, because most of them are women who are helpless, and it is normal to have a child, and others will not think too much when they see it. It’s just that the child is unwell.”

"Where did those coaxed children go?" Ji Si asked.

After the words fell, Pei Zhan's face became very ugly. He opened his mouth and couldn't speak, but he clenched his fists tightly with both hands, and then he slammed the table. A little tea in the cup spilled out, and the dull beating sound was accompanied by deep hatred. come over:

"Sent to Cao Ping's other courtyard... ruined..."

Lightning flashed across the sky, and the dark sky suddenly became as bright as day. The dazzling white light entered the room, illuminating every corner of the room, and even the faces of the three of them. There was a thunder, and the world was moved, and then the crackling rain fell, and the surroundings suddenly became noisy and chaotic.

"They..." Ji Si couldn't swallow like a fishbone stuck in his throat, he licked his lips and murmured, "They're still so small..."

"This is a group of beasts in human skin!" Pei Zhan gritted his molars, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable anger, and if you look carefully, you can see bloodshot eyes, "Zhao Wu said that Cao Ping likes ignorant and ignorant people the most." Young girls, they can’t do anything but cry, they don’t even have the room to backhand, use needles, candles, whips... Sooner or later, I will pluck their skins and chop off their filthy roots!”

The candle flame on the table danced, and the candle dripped down, as if crying in a low voice.

"It's too shameful to take advantage of other people's kindness!" Chuyi gritted his teeth, and anger filled his heart. "It was good intentions, but in the end it was harmed by kindness. It's really ridiculous."

"It's not the goodness in their hearts that hurt them, but the evil in their hearts." Pei Zhan rubbed Chuyi's head. Although he was angry, he was worried that Chuyi would lose his heart because of this incident, and comforted him: " It is never wrong to have good intentions. It is because of the innocence of a child that I need to wait to get rid of this dark thing. The way to be an official is to ensure peace in the world. We are not only protecting the territory of the Jin Dynasty, but also thousands of people It is human nature for the common people to defend justice in the world and to voice indignation, but if good intentions become wrong, then what else is right in this world?"

Ji Si's face was gloomy. Although he understood that the matter was complicated and human nature was inherently evil, but when the truth behind it was revealed bit by bit, he still felt a heavy stone hanging from his heart, and he took a sip of tea and asked: "Where are those corpses? Do you know where they are buried?"

"No more, they were all burned down by a fire," Pei Zhan sighed, "Cao Ping and the others were extremely careful and didn't leave any evidence behind."

"All the fires are gone?" Ji Si repeated, "Although Zhao Wu is sure?"

Ji Si wouldn't keep asking if it was a useless sentence, Pei Zhan frowned and realized something was wrong, "My knife went in, and he was scared out of my wits, so he must not dare to lie. What's wrong?"

"If Zhao Wu didn't lie, where did the people who appeared in the mass grave in Zhu Yingzhou's story come from?"

"Zhu Yingzhou is lying, there is no girl named Xiangbao from the beginning to the end!" Pei Zhan understood after a little thought.

Ji Si shook his head, "The love for the adopted daughter in his words does not seem to be fake, but this person was definitely not thrown into a mass grave, and Zhu Yingzhou lied about it."

"We kindly helped him, but he hid it everywhere. The truth is not a thing. If it doesn't work, I have to force him."

Pei Zhan has the temperament to hear that the wind is like rain, so he pretends to get up and pick up Zhu Yingzhou to inquire about it. Ji Si quickly stops him, "He was born in a market, so he can't plan everything, but he didn't guess wrong, it must be Instigated by someone, it is not difficult to guess who this person is."

"You mean, Guo Jingyi?"

"This person is very capable of making the prince afraid. Since we came to Fanping, he was afraid that he would avoid it," Ji Si reminded, "Do you still remember the path that Zhu Yingzhou took us? At that time, you also said that this road is full of weeds, the terrain is high on both sides and low in the middle, and there are few people on the road, so it is the most convenient for ambushes. Someone must have told him that Zhu Yingzhou has never traveled far but is so familiar. In a game, all of us are just in the game."

"One side is Guo Jingyi's scheme, and the other side is Wang Yangchun and others' tricks, so what should we do now?" Pei Zhan rubbed his brows irritably, "How can I get involved in a conspiracy as a general? It's really a headache. It's not as fun as fighting."

"Guo Jingyi just wanted to borrow a knife to kill people. The most urgent thing is Wang Yangchun and others," Ji Si sneered, "They have done a lot of evil, and they are in vain. This villain is free to accept. If the sky does not accept, then I will accept it!"

The rain outside the house was getting heavier and heavier, and the crackling sound hit the eaves, sliding down the tile gullies and painting the eaves into a thick layer of rain curtains. The rain splashed in the puddles, and the water was crystal clear. It just fell straight from top to bottom, and as the falling water column stopped, the sound of ding ding dong dong also stopped.

Du Heng put down the teapot and handed a cup of tea to Qi Ran. He picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip. Lin'an is very different. Soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Battalion of the Moon Silver Apocalypse can be seen everywhere on the streets.

He watched for a while and looked back at Qi Ran. The latter seemed to be possessed by a demon as soon as he entered the city for some reason. However, the most common June Ya, he tastes again and again, which is really strange.

Especially the servant named Anping next to him was very emotional, his body trembled and he almost cried out, as if this Shuzhou was returning to his homeland for him, no matter how he looked at it, he was suspicious.

Taking another sip of tea, Du Heng asked, "Master Qi, have you been to Shuzhou before?"

"No, Shuzhou is more than a thousand miles away from Lin'an. I often hear people talking about it but never have a chance. Only when I saw it today did I know that what the person said is not half true. I just don't know if the sunset in Zhuluyuan is also so beautiful."

Du Heng was very knowledgeable, he didn't ask Qi Ran who the person mentioned in his words was, but asked about other things, "Now that we have entered Shuzhou City, what will happen next?"

"Wait."

"Wait?"

"We didn't lead the way. If we rushed to Zhu's mansion rashly and told them that I am Qi Ziheng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple," Qi Ran pointed to himself, and then pointed to Du Heng, "You are Du Cunxiao from Yushitai. Now, maybe we will be blown far away when we are confused, let alone go to General Zhu, because we will not even be able to enter the gate of Zhu's residence."

Du Heng nodded, agreeing with what Qi Ran said, "So we are waiting for this opportunity to bring us into the Zhu Mansion."

"Exactly."

After the words were finished, Chen Pingan hurried in from outside the teahouse, his face was so excited that he couldn't hide his joy, and he talked about what he saw and heard just now with Qi Ran dancing.

In the eyes of others, Qi Shaoqing, who was indifferent and impersonal, did not speak out to stop him. Instead, he smiled and waited until the words were almost finished before asking, "Let's talk about the important things first."

Chen Pingan scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and told the news he had heard, "I asked a few people, because of the martial arts in Shuzhou, the government also built a martial arts arena, as long as anyone who knows martial arts can compete, no harm will be done. People can click as far as they can, and those who can win consecutive undefeated can also enter the Eighth Battalion of Apocalypse, and now the one with the highest winning rate is Miss Yanyan, so she will go to see it at noon every day, and leave after half an hour."

"Miss Yanyan?" Du Heng repeated, "Zhu Yanyan?"

He looked at Qi Ran, "Are you planning to..."

The latter did not answer directly, but explained, "After the death of King Yong'an, Zhu Xun must have been able to control the Eight Battalions of Tianqi because he was extremely capable. The strength of the Eighth Battalion is getting stronger and stronger, and even Xiqiang dare not act rashly."

"I heard that although this Zhu Yanyan looks like a young girl, she is born with supernatural powers, and her martial arts skills are extraordinary at such a young age. How sure are you against her?"

"You'll know when you hit it."

Just as I was talking, a young girl came from a far corner, her cheeks were round and cute, she was dressed in a black dress, and her waist-length hair was tied high behind her head, she looked like an ordinary girl , but the epee behind him that was about to hit the ground was incompatible with this person.

When she walked along the road, many people knew her, greeted her and gave her a lot of food. The girl's small face was wrinkled together, and she could see that she was struggling in her heart. In the end, she shook her head and refused, and quickened her pace from He walked under the window facing Qi Ran and the others.

Seeing this, the three quickly followed.

This martial arts arena is actually just an open-air dam, without much decoration, it is just a brick and stone repair, the surroundings are high and the center is concave and flat, which is convenient for watching the competition.

When the few people arrived, there were quite a few people sitting around in twos and threes. Apart from watching the excitement, there were also many contestants who were eager to move. It just happened that a competition was over. Falling in the ears seems to make people dance and boil.

Zhu Yanyan talked to the person in charge a few times, and opened the wrapped white cloth, revealing the epee made of black iron inside, which was inky black, but when he looked closely, he could see that the blade was a little red, I don't know if it's because of too much blood or because of itself.

The sword was more than twice the size of an ordinary long sword. She gripped the hilt and the tip of the sword slid on the sandy ground, leaving a shallow slip mark. Standing on the right side of the platform like this, she looked a little small.

There was a lot of discussion around:

"It's been a long time since the bearded man was defeated by Miss Yanyan, and no one has competed with her for a long time. I don't know if there is anyone who is not afraid of death today."

"Miss Yanyan's sword is said to be difficult for ordinary people to handle, and her martial arts was taught by General Zhu himself. Who can beat this?"

"I think this girl is ordinary, and not as powerful as you said."

"Outsiders, for those who said that last time, the grass on their graves is as tall as mine."

"If you want me to say that Miss Yanyan is just a woman no matter how powerful she is, it is really inappropriate for this woman to fight and kill. Sooner or later she will have to marry a husband and teach her children. Maybe she can lead soldiers to fight? This is not to let outsiders look at us in Shuzhou Are men joking!"

"You are capable, and you have the ability to speak in front of General Zhu."

"It's simple. If you cut off that thing, you don't have to worry about others laughing at you."

A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.

The three of Qi Ran quietly listened to the discussions around them, and they remained silent.

Zhu Yanyan stood the epee by her side, embracing her hands, her long hair fluttering in the wind, and her whole body was as imposing as her father's, and when she stared at the crowd with fixed eyebrows, she was able to intimidate the scene. A voice rang out, "Everyone here, who dares to fight me?"

The voice was deafening, and everyone looked at each other but no one answered.

"Everyone here, who dares to fight with me?" Zhu Yanyan asked again, still unchanged, she raised her chin and smiled at the corner of her mouth, as if she was no stranger to this kind of thing, she drew out her heavy sword Shaking off the soil stained on the blade, and turning around to leave, a voice came from above the stands, "Please advise."

When the wind came, Zhu Yanyan turned around abruptly, and saw a tall and slender man standing behind him. He was dressed in blue and white clothes and looked very handsome. Not far away, Mo's hair was blown by the wind, attracting all the eyes of the audience.

"Who are you?" Zhu Yanyan looked up and down the unknown man, eyes full of caution.

"My surname is Qi. I heard that the only daughter of General Zhu is excellent in martial arts, so I came here to ask for advice." Qi Ran's attitude was gentle and polite, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"You don't look like you know martial arts," Zhu Yanyan said in a low voice, then took a step forward and raised her chin, "You can't fight without weapons, you go pick one and fight with me."

Qi Ran turned around and glanced at the weapon racks displayed behind him, made some selections, and chose a pistol, then walked back to the distance, and clasped fists at the person.

Zhu Yanyan frowned, pouted, and her face was full of puzzlement, "You are so strange, I saw that your tiger's mouth is wider than others, and the posture of holding a gun is obviously an expert at using swords, why did you pick it?" handle**?"

"I didn't use the sword because I was afraid of hurting you." Qi Ran was still calm and polite, but what he said made everyone in the audience amazed.

"What a big tone," Zhu Yanyan sneered, "I want to see how long you can go crazy!"

Before she finished speaking, she rushed out dragging the epee, the blade drew sparks on the ground, and then turned sideways, the epee rose from the ground and reversed in the air, and slashed straight out. When he was about to slash at Qi Ran's face, it was too late and then too fast, Qi Ran tapped the ground with his toes, opened his arms and stepped back quickly, and slashed down with the epee at the position where he was standing before, raising a large cloud of dust.

The situation became tense all of a sudden, and before he could make a move, Zhu Yanyan stabbed at him with a sword, and Qi Ran retreated again and again. Glancing at it from the corner of the eye, he quickly bowed down and brushed the blade of the sword as he passed.

Zhu Yanyan's face was solemn, and he knew that this person was not simple. The heavy sword was exhausting, and the heart was not good for a long time, so he wanted to solve it earlier, so the offensive became more and more fierce, pressing every step of the way without giving anyone a chance to breathe. With a wave of his hands, the kicking sword slashed towards Qi Ran's chest. The latter moved sideways to dodge, and immediately blocked the gun in front of his chest. Then he swung the blade of the gun down with his wrist, and the two weapons collided and made a noise. sparks.

Qi Ran's tiger's mouth was in pain from the shock, his thin lips were pursed tightly, and with a lift of his wrist, he tossed the chest sideways. Zhu Yanyan found an opportunity to swipe the epee from bottom to top, aiming to grab the man before he could hold the chest again. He threw his weapon away, never thinking that Qi Ran was waiting for this opportunity, raising his leg would be a flying kick.

With the strength in his toes, he moved quickly, and Zhu Yanyan concentrated all his strength on the heavy sword. At this time, it was too late to avoid it, so he gritted his teeth and had to make a dangerous move. He was determined to break the spear, so he hurriedly Stretching out her shoulder sideways, the epee in her hand cut through the handle of the gun, and Qi Ran's face was hard on her shoulder, and she took several steps back, stabbing the epee in the sand to stabilize it.

I thought that this person's strength would be greatly reduced after losing his weapon, but unexpectedly, Qi Ran directly caught the broken half with the spear blade, exchanged the gun for a gun, and attacked like an arrow off the string.

The situation changed at the same time, the epee was not as flexible as the gun, it was Zhu Yanyan's turn to be pressed, slashed, swept, and stabbed, but he couldn't break the gun anymore, after several rounds, his clothes and hair were already wet with sweat Wet, even breathing became disordered.

The people around didn't dare to blink their eyes, for fear that they would miss the exciting part if they lost their minds.

Zhu Yanyan on the stage was a little disorganized, her frowning expression was solemn and serious, she flipped over, and made another diagonal strike. Although her body was flexible, her range was limited. She intentionally attacked Qi Zuo, and her attack was swift and fierce. There were several back and forth between the lightning and the flint. If the physical strength was weaker, they would be paralyzed directly, but the speed of the two of them did not slow down at all except for shortness of breath.

In terms of strength, it is not as good as the heavy sword, but Qi Ran's disadvantages are gradually revealed, his right hand trembled slightly, Zhu Yanyan's eyes darkened, and his attack speed became even faster. Cut off the neck.

But at this critical moment, Qi Ran grasped the nipple with his left hand and pulled a sword flower, saw the gap between Zhu Yanyan's arms when he raised his hands high, held the nipple and stabbed out at the same time.

The epee was still a punch away from Qi Ran's neck, while Zhu Yanyan looked down at the spear blade that had just missed his throat, and then raised his eyes to look at the man in front of him.

"You're right, I'm better at using a sword than a gun."

There were deafening cheers all around.

Qi Ran was the first to accept the **, and bowed to the person with his fists in his arms, "I offended you so much, I hope Miss Yanyan will forgive me."

Zhu Yanyan bit her lower lip, her face was extremely ugly. She practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she was born with infinite strength. She had few opponents in Shuzhou. The man with the sword beat him with a gun, he was a little ashamed, he felt aggrieved, and said a little displeased: "It's because my skills are not as good as others, I am convinced that I lost, but next time I will definitely win you!"

It was the first time for the two to meet, but Qi Ran admired this little girl a little. Not to mention her extraordinary martial arts skills, but she is not arrogant in victory or discouragement in defeat at a young age. This courage alone has far surpassed most people, and she will become a master in time.

He smiled and nodded, "I'm just a few years older, and I can't compare with Miss's age."

"That makes sense," Zhu Yanyan laughed out loud, "You are frank and highly skilled in martial arts. I don't know if you would like to defend your family and the country and join my Eighth Battalion of Apocalypse?"

This question hit Qi Ran's heart, he raised the corners of his lips and smiled lightly, "I'm here for this."

The surrounding noise dissipated, only the birds chirping, pecking each other's feathers on the branches.

The servant girl served the hot tea and retreated out. None of the three people in the hall made a sound, only two footsteps came from outside the room, accompanied by voices.

"You girl, why do you have to call me back?"

"I met a wonderful seedling in the martial arts field."

"Just leave it to Uncle Tan to recruit people, don't mess around all day long."

"That can't be done. It's a pity that this person is a pawn. Isn't that an overkill? In short, Dad, you'll know it after you've seen it."

The sound got closer, Zhu Xun stepped into the hall, and saw three people sitting inside, his aura of fighting on the battlefield has long been different from others, his eyes are like torches with fierce bloody aura, when looking directly at others, it can make others feel The panic of being stared at by a beast is like falling into an ice cave.

Zhu Xun and others have never seen him before, so when he saw Qi Ran in white and blue clothes, he already saw that this person's temperament was far from that of a man in the rivers and lakes or a commoner in the city. It was a side-by-side inquiry, "You guys seem to be unfamiliar, they don't look like the people of my Shuzhou. I don't know where they came from?"

"Come from Lin'an."

"Lin'an?" Zhu Xun repeated playfully in his mouth, took a sip of the tea served by the maid, "That's a good place, why did he come to this remote place to serve as a soldier? Could it be a brain twitch Tight."

The person was introduced by Zhu Yanyan, and she felt unhappy after hearing this, she tugged at Zhu Xun's sleeve and was slapped away by the latter.

Qi Ran could hear the suspicion in his words, and said in a deep voice, "To bring an old friend to see the general."

"Old man?"

As soon as these words came out, not only the father and daughter of the Zhu family were puzzled, but even Du Heng who was at the side couldn't figure it out at all. He looked sideways at Qi Ran and didn't understand what he was playing, and he didn't say it beforehand.

Being stared at by several people, Qi Ran's expression didn't change, but he waved at Chen Pingan, who came up with his head down.

Zhu Xun's gaze is natural
