Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it.

A heavy snowstorm is about to sweep over us.

Zhong Jiuchou sat on his strong horse and looked at the large dark clouds above his head, and then returned to the stopped marching team at the foot of the mountain.

He raised his eyebrows and asked Fang De, who was following him: "Have you found out? What exactly is delaying the trip?"

Guo Xia and Xiangye suddenly appeared, something must have happened.

Shaotang is still angry with him. It is not appropriate for him to commit crimes against the wind, so he can only follow in the dark and take care of him at all times.

Although Fang De didn't want to make his master anxious, he could only tell the truth.

"The young lady has people guarding the team very tightly. Our people can't get close to the front. The people who were sent to the front to inquire about the situation haven't come back yet."

After Zhong Jiuchou came back from the Ran family, he ordered Fang De and Su Lun to change their words and no longer call Ran Shaotang the leader of the Ran alliance, but the female master.

He could not marry leader Ran, but he was confident that he could marry the daughter-in-law of the Ran family home.

Zhong Jiuchou was pleased that Shaotang was managing the team in a rigorous and orderly manner, but at the same time he felt that she was frustrating him. How could a useless man coax her?

Zhong Jiuchou pressed his brows and suddenly remembered someone.

"Go and fetch Ganoderma lucidum." This guy had been in the team with others early in the morning, so he should have known the news.

Just as Fang De left, there was a commotion in the team at the foot of the mountain, and then they turned their horses and headed towards the way they came.

Zhong Jiuchou gestured to the air, and the secret guards hiding in the dark turned their direction with their master. They followed the funeral procession and quietly advanced.

Snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and Fang Delian forced Ganoderma lucidum in front of Zhong Jiuchou.

Since taking over Qin Xiaoyue's position, Lingzhi has repeatedly warned herself not to do anything that her master doesn't like on the grounds of "for the good of her master".

Only by being an absolutely loyal subordinate can he achieve better development.

At this moment, facing Zhong Jiuchou's questioning, Lingzhi came up with an idea to get the best of both worlds.

"Young Master, I don't know the purpose of those two coming here. You might as well ask my master in person. Judging from the situation, he must be in trouble. At this time, you are most needed by your side. Maybe my master will see Would you be happy?"

Throw this pot away and nothing will happen to him.

Lingzhi stood behind Zhong Jiuchou and could not see his expression. She could only feel that the unmoving man under the black cloak was looking at the moving team down the mountain, as if he was thinking about his suggestion.

After a long while, Jiuchou finally said quietly: "Lingzhi, you are fine. Shaotang did not misjudge the person. You can go down."

Ganoderma surrendered and retreated. It wasn't until she returned to the team that a gust of cool breeze blew, and she realized that her back was soaked with sweat.

For the safety of the team, Ran Shaotang's carriage came to the rear and changed from the leader to the tail. Although her internal strength has not recovered yet, with Guo Xia and his wife here, she is not too worried about Qiu Wubing and his gang catching up.

What's more, there is him.

She lowered her head and slowly poured the brewed medicinal tea into the cup, and handed it to Guo Xia and Xiangye. She also picked up the cup and sipped it slowly, feeling an unusual throbbing in her heart from time to time.

She knew it was the poison in her body that was causing trouble.

That person must also be nearby.

It's just a snowy day, and he's not afraid of freezing.

After Xiangye drank the medicinal tea, she immediately felt that the blood in her whole body was heating up. She put down the cup and looked at Ran Shaotang who was distracted, and suddenly sighed.

Guo Xia glared at her: "Junior sister, what's wrong with you?"

Ran Shaotang's train of thought was interrupted and he raised his head to look at Xiangye whose eyes had been falling on him.

Xiangye tilted his head and said "Oh" again, and said to Guo Xia: "Senior brother, do you think that if the Ran family sister sits there quietly without saying anything, is she exactly the same as Alliance Leader Ran?"

"They are twins, so of course they are the same."

"Who said that, the twin brothers and sisters in our town at the foot of Lingjian Mountain are different. One looks like a boy, and the other looks like a girl. How come Alliance Leader Ran and Sister Ran are the same person?"

Guo Xia knew that his little junior sister always liked weird ideas, so he didn't know what he was thinking about now.

He and Xiangye were also very sad to learn the news of Ran Shaotang's sudden death. When he met Ran Shaotang's sister, he found that she didn't want to mention the deceased more. He was worried that it would make the other party sad again, so he put many questions in his heart.

But the junior sister didn't care. He had to stop her: "You can eat some snacks to cushion your stomach. The ambush people haven't reacted yet. After a while, they will know what's going on here." We are chasing you, and there is a battle to be fought. You stay in the car and protect the young lady, and I will go out to deal with the enemy."

Xiangye interrupted him: "Senior brother, I haven't finished speaking yet. I thought of an idea. Why not let the Ran family sister dress up as Leader Ran and lie in the coffin to catch them off guard."

Guo Xia: "I don't know martial arts. If we lie down in it, we will be caught off guard."

As soon as he stepped into the carriage, he realized that Ran Shaoshang did not look like a martial artist.

Xiangye said: "Who said that if you want to know martial arts, you just have to use poison. Do you think she is the sister of the Ran family?"

When Ran Shaotang was a boy, it was inconvenient for her to get close to Xiangye, but now that she is a girl, it is easier for her to miss this cute little girl.

She patted Xiangye on the shoulder and praised sincerely: "That's a good idea."

Guo Xia wanted to say something else. Xiangye winked at him and smiled. Ran Shaotang opened the curtain and said to the people outside: "Speed ​​up and go to the ruined temple in front to rest for a while."

Yu Xingshan ordered his horse to run to the front of the team to urge him. Then Ran Shaotang said: "You two took the risk to come here to deliver the message. Shaoshang is really grateful. If you need anything in the future, you must come to Kyoto to see me. Or look for me." Ganoderma lucidum, Panax notoginseng, and Xiaoyue are all acceptable. My brother has left them to me. As long as I can help, I will be happy to help you."

Guo Xia vaguely felt something was wrong, but couldn't say it for the moment.

The three of them were polite, and soon the team arrived at the ruined temple. Ran Shaotang got out of the car first and went to the car where the coffin was placed.

Guo Xia and Xiangye followed behind and paid their respects briefly. Then they were looked for by Yu Xingshan, who asked them who they were and what route they took.

Ran Shaotang got into the car with Ganoderma lucidum, and Wang Fu had been waiting in the car.

The three of them pushed open the coffin lid, and Ran Shaotang reached in and touched Shaoshang's cold face: "Bring it here."

Lingzhi opened the small wooden box on her back and took out a human skin mask from inside.

Ran Shaotang played with Shaoshang's face for a long time, looked at it with satisfaction for a moment, then took out a white porcelain bottle filled with medicine from his arms, poured out a pill, and the car suddenly filled with fragrance.

Ran Shaotang put the medicine into Ran Shaoshang's mouth and told Wang Fu and Lingzhi: "When people wake up in a while, you can take them out of here directly and take the other way, take the waterway to avoid that group of people. I arranged it secretly The guards will always protect you. We must safely deliver her to Jingshan and hand her over to my master. There will be no mistakes."

Lingzhi asked worriedly: "Master, what about you?"
