The eldest daughter of a peasant family: They are all my sisters’ passers-by

Lan Wangshu stood there quietly, following Jiang Luo's back as he was taken away, and a strange feeling that could not be described in words surged in her heart. She couldn't believe it anyway, that it all ended like this. At this moment, Lan Wansu appeared beside her silently, holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, shaking it slightly, as if to add the last absurd and ridiculous comment to this farce.

"What are you thinking about?" Lan Wansu asked her softly, his voice slowly spreading in the quiet atmosphere like a tiny ripple.

Lan Wangshu came back to his senses from his contemplation and turned to look at him. The confusion in his eyes was as thick and deep as a thick fog. "I really don't understand why everything went so smoothly? Could it be that Jiang Luo failed so easily?"

Lan Wansu stared at her for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "Things are definitely not that simple. Jiang Luo is not someone who would give in easily. This may just be a move she carefully planned. The real fierce competition has just begun."

His words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, instantly stirring up ripples in Lan Wangshu's heart. She knew very well that this turbulent struggle had just begun, and that the woman named Jiang Luo was definitely not an easy opponent to deal with.

Lan Wangshu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She tightly grasped Lan Wansu's arm, her voice trembling with an indescribable tremor: "Look, look! That's Jiang Luo over there! She...she's still alive and kicking!"

Lan Wansu looked in the direction of her finger, and his eyes fell on the figure sitting high on the sedan chair. Although it was only a side view, he recognized the other person at a glance. He frowned and said in a low voice: "Sure enough, it's really her. This woman is really as cunning as a fox, and she can pretend to be indifferent."

Jiang Luo seemed to notice the two people's gazes, and she suddenly turned her eyes to where Lan Wangshu was, and gave him a mysterious and profound smile. That smile at that moment seemed to contain thousands of words, but it was impossible to figure out the deep meaning.

Lan Wangshu felt a piercing chill running up her spine to the top of her head, causing her to take a step back, feeling an indescribable fear in her heart. She lowered her voice and said to Lan Wansu, "We must be careful. She must have some ulterior motives."

Lan Wansu nodded in agreement, his expression serious and heavy: "Yes, this woman is very thoughtful and cunning. We must not take it lightly at any time or place."

The two looked at each other in tacit understanding, and both read determination and courage in each other's eyes. They knew clearly in their hearts that this game was far from over, and the situation in the future would likely become more complicated and full of more unknown risks.

Lan Wangshu and Lan Wansu exchanged glances quickly, and each noticed the astonishment and anxiety in the other's eyes.

They knew very well that Jiang Luo's appearance was definitely not a coincidence and there must be a huge mystery hidden in it.

Lan Wangshu bit his lips tightly, his inner anger and confusion entangled with each other. This King of Qin was so bold as to cooperate with the evil tiger. He was simply reckless.

At the same time, she was also very curious about how Jiang Luo could get out of trouble so easily and dare to appear in public.

Lan Wansu gently patted Lan Wangshu's shoulder, conveying a soothing force, suggesting that she calm down. He knew that at this moment, it was crucial to remain calm and rational. He lowered his voice, as if only the two of them could hear, and said softly:

"It seems that the enemy we are facing is far more powerful than we expected. Jiang Luo has become extremely difficult to deal with. If we can't eliminate her, this game will never end."

Lan Wangshu nodded silently, expressing her understanding and agreement. She tightly held the oil-paper umbrella in her hand. It was not only the only thing she had, but also her inner sustenance and support. She knew deeply that she had no way to retreat and could only move forward courageously.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd, and someone shouted loudly: "The King of Qin has arrived!" The people around him stepped aside to form a wide passage. Then, the King of Qin sat upright in the gorgeous carriage and slowly drove towards the crowd.

The King of Qin's eyes were like sharp arrows, sweeping through the crowded crowd, and finally stopped at Lan Wangshu and Lan Wansu. At that moment, Lan Wangshu felt an indescribable pressure, as if the King of Qin had seen through their disguise and true intentions.

The King of Qin nodded slightly. This simple action seemed to be a greeting to them, but also a veiled warning. Lan Wangshu's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but think about the deep meaning behind the King of Qin's move.

Lan Wangshu was shocked. She really couldn't figure out what the King of Qin's intention was, but she knew very well that at this moment, she must remain calm.

Jiang Luo sat on the sedan chair, maintaining a dignified and elegant demeanor, but Lan Wangshu could clearly feel that his eyes had never left him. A chill rose from the bottom of his heart, as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and if he was not careful, he would suffer a fatal blow.

Lan Wansu was keenly aware of Lan Wangshu's inner fear, so he gently held her hand and passed on a sense of strength.

He knew very well that the top priority was not only to ensure Lan Wangshu's safety, but also to try to uncover the conspiracy behind Jiang Luo.

As the King of Qin's carriage moved farther and farther away, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, but Lan Wangshu and Lan Wansu did not leave.

The two stayed where they were, thinking hard about what to do next. Lan Wangshu lowered his voice and said, "We must thoroughly investigate Jiang Luo's true intentions and why she was able to get away so easily."

Lan Wansu nodded in agreement, then looked around cautiously and found several suspicious people wandering around. His heart was alarmed, and he turned to Lan Wangshu and said in a low voice:

"It seems like we've been targeted. We need to be extra careful next time."

Lan Wangshu took a deep breath. She knew in her heart that she could not continue to be fooled by Jiang Luo.

She is determined to find her close friends, hoping to get some key clues from them. At the same time, Lan Wansu takes the initiative to investigate Jiang Luo's whereabouts, trying to find a way out of the predicament.

"Time is running out, so we should split up as soon as possible. After all, if we act alone, it will be too easy to expose our target."

Lan Wangshu stared sharply at the figures that were gradually approaching the two of them, biting his lower lip tightly.

"Okay, you must be careful, understand? We agreed to meet in the southern suburbs. If you don't show up by the evening, I will go find you."

Lan Wansu's tone was extremely serious, but Lan Wangshu felt a warm current flowing in his heart.

Of course he understood that the other party was worried about her. Lan Wangshu couldn't help feeling a warm feeling. He nodded vigorously, turned around without hesitation, and merged into the surging crowd.

The two men then went their separate ways, but they both knew very well that they were participating in a fierce race against time.

Since Jiang Luo dared to show up here so blatantly and recklessly, he must have some hidden reasons or reliance. Therefore, the two of them must race against time to find out the truth, so as to effectively prevent more serious dangers that may occur.

Lan Wangshu carefully avoided the eyes and ears of the crowd and left the scene quietly. In order to avoid attracting attention as much as possible, she even changed into men's clothes.

Afterwards, she came to a rather remote and quiet teahouse, and successfully found the strange man whom she had finally inquired about these days.

This man, known as the Iron Mouth, was famous for his ability to find out all kinds of information.

When Tiezui saw Lan Wangshu enter the teahouse, he immediately went to greet him.

"Dear customer, you should know that things have been a bit uneasy here lately! So, regarding the price..."

As Tie Zui spoke, he limped slowly towards Lan Wangshu. Although his clothes looked a little messy, he looked very clean and tidy overall. He raised his right palm and made two gestures to Lan Wangshu.

However, Lan Wangshu did not respond to his words, but went straight to the point.

"Iron Mouth, I must know everything about Jiang Luo, including her background, purpose of her actions, and her relationship with the King of Qin." Lan Wangshu expressed her needs without hesitation. She knew that Tiezui only cared about money, so she took out some novel items that could be seen everywhere in modern society, but were extremely rare here.

Tiezui's eyes were attracted by these things, which were sparkling. When he noticed that there was a small box next to it, he found that it was full of glittering gold leaves, and a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face, and his eyes narrowed into slits.

However, Tiezui frowned slightly, looked around, and lowered his voice and said, "This matter is not simple. As far as I know, there seems to be an extremely powerful force behind Jiang Luo, and there are complicated connections between him and the King of Qin. If you want to investigate this matter, you must be extra careful."

Lan Wangshu's heart tightened, she realized that the matter was becoming more and more confusing.

"So, how much do you know?" Lan Wangshu stared at the box of gold leaves, and after thinking for a moment, he decided to continue asking.

"I do have some information here. King Qin and Jiang Luo are in a cooperative relationship. Jiang Luo has something in his hand that controls a large number of people in the martial arts world to work for her. They have an organization called the Sea Spirit Cult. This organization has risen rapidly in a short period of time and has infiltrated the entire martial arts world. Not only that, they have even extended their tentacles to the court, and King Qin is one of the key figures among them."

Tiezui spoke without hesitation, pouring out everything he knew like spilling the beans as he carefully examined the items she had taken out.

"Then, do you know who the people from Dazhao are?" Lan Wangshu asked.

"Is there any need to ask? He's just Lin Yi Ju, an old acquaintance of ours." Tiezui answered casually.

Hearing the words "Lin Yiju", Lan Wangshu's eyes flickered slightly. She thought, this Lin must be the respected Elder Lin. She thought to herself that things seemed to be getting more and more complicated.

After thanking Tiezui, Lan Wangshu left in a hurry, with a thick layer of worry hanging over his heart.

At the same time, Lan Wansu also made some progress. He found that Jiang Luo had been frequently in and out of a house on the outskirts of the city recently, and it looked like that place was her secret base.

When the two met and discussed, they decided to sneak into the mysterious house at night to find out what was going on.

At night, the moonlight was dim, like a veil covering the earth. In this quiet atmosphere, a group of figures quietly approached the mysterious house. The house was brightly lit, as if revealing an unusual atmosphere. Faintly, you could hear the sound of conversation coming from inside.

With agile figures and light steps, they sneaked into the courtyard carefully like ghosts. With their keen insight and agility, they successfully avoided the patrolling guards and came to the window of a room.

The window was half open, and through the gap, they could see the scene inside the house. They held their breath and leaned in to eavesdrop on the conversation inside. Suddenly, Jiang Luo's voice came clearly into their ears: "The plan is going very smoothly, and the King of Qin has taken the bait."
