Jinghong Tower

Chapter 267 There is suspicion here
He Ran chatted with the old woman for a while. The old woman gradually relaxed, and He Ran also learned some things about the village.

The name of the village is Wei Village. There are no foreign surnames in the village, they are all surnamed Wei.

There was a Jinshi in the village in the previous dynasty, so people from all over the country called it Jinshi Village.

However, at the end of the previous dynasty, the descendants of the Jinshi Duke offended someone in the court, and all of them were executed. Fortunately, although this village is still called the Jinshi Village, there are no descendants of the Jinshi anymore. The village These people with the surname Wei here are all distant relatives of the Jinshi family who came out of Wufu, so they were not implicated.

He Ran thought of a person. In her previous life, she knew a machine master and studied with him for a while. Although she did not officially become a master, she still had a master-disciple relationship.

This master's name is Wei Xuanji.

Wei Xuanji was a Taoist priest. She saved his life and lived in Qingcang Mountain for a while. Later, she led troops down the mountain to the palace to rescue Zhou Chi. After returning, Wei Xuanji disappeared. She traveled around and did not hear about Wei Xuanji. However, decades later, I saw Master Wei's handiwork in the Jin Palace.

Wei Xuanji's identity is a mystery, and there are also some coincidences between Wei and Wei.

Of course, without the tunnel under the stove, He Ran would not have thought of Wei Xuanji.

Xiaoli cooked the porridge, He Ran thanked the old woman, and the three of them left with the porridge.

After they left, the old woman patted her heart and walked into the small stove where they had cooked porridge. She saw a bunch of copper coins placed on the stove. She counted more than twenty coins.

The next day, Ran Jun continued on his way. He Ran turned around and looked at Wei Village not far away, and said to Jin Bo: "You stay and see who they want to protect."

Yes, He Ran deeply suspected that these villagers hid in the tunnels not only to avoid her, the master of arresting men and women, but they also had people to protect.

At this time, the other protected person was sighing.

Nie Chen was ordered to go to Cangzhou to recruit Feng Zan, but Feng Zan's whereabouts were uncertain. Nie Chen missed him several times but was not seen. Instead, he fell ill.

The people responsible for protecting Nie Chen were He Jiangqi and the 20 people from the Eagle Team. They were also the ones who brought Nie Chen's family from Kunshan to Jinyang.

Nie Chen was ill for more than ten days and finally recovered, but he learned that Feng Zan had been seriously injured in Hejian Mansion and his life was hanging by a thread.

Nie Chen sighed: "Oh, this is the first task assigned to me by the head master. If anything happens to Feng Zan, I won't be able to return to Jinyang."

He Jiangqi stabbed him in the heart again: "I'm not telling you, Mr. Nie, you should go to Wutai Mountain to say goodbye after you go back. You are so unlucky that no one else has."

Nie Chen felt the same way, he was indeed unlucky enough.

"Okay, I will go to Wutai Mountain after I get back."

He Jiangqi: "You can take the theater troupe with you. Mr. Long Wu from Mount Wutai loves going to the theater the most. If you invite him to the theater, if he is happy, maybe your wish will come true."

Nie Chen: The weird knowledge has increased again.

He took a small notebook and wrote it down.

He put the small notebook in his arms and said to He Jiangqi: "Let's go to Hejian Mansion. By the way, how many days will it take to get there?"

He Jiangqi said: "If we don't take you with us, it will only take us two or three hours. If we take you with us, it will take two or three days."

Nie Chen was hurt again. He gritted his teeth and said, "Just pretend you didn't bring me with you. We'll be there in half a day, okay?"

He Jiangqi: "What if Feng Zan is not dead when we get to Hejian Mansion and you prepare the banquet first?"

Nie Chen: I am speechless! In the end, they arrived at Hejian Mansion that day, but it took half a day instead of two or three hours.

Even now, Nie Chen was still dizzy and vomited when he got off the horse. He was unsteady and his feet were shaking.

He Jiangqi looked away. When she returned to Jinyang this time, she went to tell the boss that even if she was asked to be a pawn on the battlefield, she no longer wanted to be a bodyguard for Mr. Nie.

"Mr. Nie, why don't we go to the medical clinic first? You look like you are about to fall ill again."

Nie Chen shook his head: "Go see Feng Zan, I won't die for a while."

But who knows that Feng Zan is not in Fucheng. His army is stationed in a place more than 200 miles away from Fucheng. A group of bandits appear here. It is said that they are officers and soldiers who escaped from Baoding. They have sophisticated weapons and horses. Feng Zan targeted them just to steal weapons and armor.

It cannot be said that Feng Zan underestimated the enemy. This group of officers and soldiers was indeed the strongest opponent Feng Zan encountered after going solo. They actually had stone bombs in their hands.

Five or six stones exploded into the cannon. Many of Feng Zan's men died. Feng Zan himself was blown out. Fortunately, his arms and legs were still there, but he hit a big rock and broke several ribs. Other than that, they are all skin injuries.

Nie Chen and his party finally found the place where Feng Zan was stationed before it got dark.

When the soldiers guarding the camp saw a group of people coming on horseback from a distance, they loaded their bows and arrows, ready to shoot at any time.

Nie Chen was placed on the horse's back and was knocked around. He held on and took out a snow-white handkerchief: "If two parties are fighting, don't kill them. If you don't kill them, come and send them!"

He Jiangqi quickly turned away, "It's so embarrassing! It's so embarrassing!"

The benefit brought by the white handkerchief was that Nie Chen was brought in, while He Jiangqi and others were stopped outside. The soldiers guarding the camp continued to load their bows and arrows, pointing the arrow tips at them.

He Jiangqi had no choice but to say to Nie Chen: "Mr. Nie, please wish yourself well. Mr. Long Wu will bless you."

Nie Chen was brought to Feng Zan. Feng Zan was lying upright on the door panel. His face and body were bandaged with cloth. He could only barely tell that he was a person.

"General, this man says he is He Ran's envoy!"

Nie Chen was pushed from behind and lost his balance, falling in front of Feng Zan.

He struggled to stand up and bowed deeply to Feng Zan: "My Nie Chen, on the orders of Master He, came to visit General Feng."

Although Feng Zan was seriously injured, his mind was still clear, but his body hurt when he spoke, so he stopped talking if he could.

But when he saw Nie Chen, he couldn't help but want to ridicule him.

Is this person the envoy sent by He Ran?
His clothes were disheveled, he only had one shoe, his hair was disheveled, as if he were carrying a bird's nest, his eyes were red and swollen, there were black and blue bags under his eyes, and there were one, two or three big bubbles on his mouth.

"He Ran's vision is really bad!" Feng Zan said.

Nie Chen knew that his image must be worrying at this time, but what could he do?

He was a man who had just recovered from a serious illness. He was put on the horse like luggage and galloped such a long way. It was already a miracle that he was still alive.

Besides, this Feng Zan is not as good as him.

At least he looked like a living human being. If Feng Zan's image came out in July and a half, he would definitely be a member of the night army.
