This shadow guard is kinda nice

The sky in January seemed to be extraordinarily cold, the cold wind could not stop raging, the snowflakes accumulated on the branches rustled down, Xiao Yichen and Mo Ran's figures were hiding behind a thick tree.

Xiao Yichen glanced forward from time to time, while Mo Ran focused his attention on the surrounding situation. Although he didn't know why his master didn't sleep in the middle of the night, he ran to this isolated area in the suburbs.

But he believed that the master must have his reasons for doing so. All he could do was to obey his orders and pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times, so as to prevent some emergencies from threatening the safety of the master.

Xiao Yichen stared at it for a while, but there was still no movement there, he turned his head and leaned against the tree, the night sky was thick black with no light at all.

Mo Ran looked back at him, moved her lips, wanted to ask something, but didn't ask.

Xiao Yichen glanced at him, "If you want to ask, just ask."

Mo Ran lowered his expression, and said for a while, "The master came here...did you find anything?"

Just as Xiao Yichen was about to speak, their expressions changed at the same time.

someone is coming.

Xiao Yichen leaned his head over, and saw a group of men in night clothes like them, with black veils covering their faces.They pulled the carriage and came from the distant night.

They stood outside the fence, talked to the guarding soldiers, and then the back door was opened.

The men pulled the carts one after another and walked in, Xiao Yichen left a sentence to wait here, then performed lightness kung fu, and followed the group of people into the isolation area.

Mo Ran stayed where he was, his eyes followed Xiao Yichen's figure closely until his figure disappeared.He had a vague guess in his heart that today he went to the prison where the king was in charge, but no one has interrogated him yet.

When Steward Wang saw him coming, it was no different from seeing the King of Hades coming, his face turned pale with fright, but that was the case, when asked where the coveted money went, he refused to say anything.

If it wasn't for the potion used to extract a confession by torture, he would have pried his mouth open.

Later, he went to Guanshi Wang's house to search again, but he didn't find any secret passages and secret rooms where he could hide money.

He had thought about the prefect's mansion. Anyway, Guanshi Wang, a small steward, dared to be so greedy, and he had something to do with the prefect of Pingyao, but he hadn't had time to investigate.

But now, the master brought him here in the middle of the night, plus those men wearing night clothes and covering their faces just now, it is very possible that the money that was embezzled is placed here.

In this way, Mo Ran would have to admire Steward Wang's courage. Dare to put the money obtained from greed in front of the public like this, which is really dark under the lights.

But if you think about it carefully, Guanshi Wang's bullying and fearful appearance doesn't seem like such a bold person, so it is most likely that he is the prefect of Ningdao.

This makes sense, Ning Zhiyuan may have learned from Ren Mingfeng that the master has come to Pingyao, Ning Dao was in a hurry, so he sent someone to transport the silver away in the middle of the night, never thought that the master knew about it first, so he brought Came here by myself.

Mo Ran's exposed eyes were bent, as expected of the master.

The cold wind became more and more raging, and a black shadow fell beside Mo Ran. Mo Ran turned his head and said in a low voice, "Master."

"En." Xiao Yichen responded.

"What did the master find?"

Xiao Yichen glanced at him, and jokingly said: "No more ink marks this time?"

Mo Ran: "..."

Xiao Yichen smiled softly, the low and hoarse voice floated into Mo Ran's ears, and quickly dissipated in the cold wind.

"The group of people are moving money, and they will come out later."

Mo Ran looked up, "Then we..."

The corners of Xiao Yichen's lips raised slightly, "Give it over here."

After a while, the group of men came out pulling the carriage, the fence gate was closed, and everything was back to normal.The wheels rolled on the snow and made a sound, which was especially obvious in the silent night.

Xiao Yichen and Mo Ran looked at each other, followed quickly, and when they were far away from the isolation area, after ensuring that the guards would not catch up in a short time, the two moved together.

Before the person in front could make a sound, he was quietly put on the ground, and the two of them fell several times in succession, until someone noticed something was wrong, and when he turned his head, his eyes widened in horror.

The voice of shouting was blocked in his throat, he was cut by Mo Ran, and fell to the ground limply.

The sound of the body falling to the ground alarmed the people pulling the carriage in front, and the leader quickly turned around, "Everyone, be careful."

He looked warily at the two people who were not in his team.

It's just that it's too late, and there are only a handful of people who can stand on the ground properly.

They stood behind the leader, drew their knives, and looked fierce.

"Take things with you."

After the leader finished speaking, he drew out his knife and rushed over.

Today, he received an order to transport the things to other places. In order to ensure the smooth completion of the task, the small team he recruited were basically well-known people in the world, and they were much more powerful than ordinary robbers.

Who would have expected that after just one meeting, more than half of this group has fallen.

He knew in his heart that most of them would not be able to beat them, but in order to complete the task, it was only a short while to be able to delay.

Mo Ran stepped forward and stood in front of Xiao Yichen, and he caught the knife that the man slashed with his bare hands.

He clasped his palms together, the knife sticking to his palm, no matter how the man moved he couldn't move.

"Keep alive." After Xiao Yichen finished speaking, he moved and chased after those people.

The leader stared blankly, watching his figure move quickly, and he caught up with the people pulling the carriage without any effort.

He couldn't help being ruthless, and pressed down on the handle of the knife, trying to cut it down.

Mo Ran sneered, with naked disdain in his eyes.

He raised both hands vigorously, and the leader took a few steps back with a knife.

The hand loosened, and the knife fell to the ground.

He picked up the knife, turned and ran without any desire to fight.

He had to protect that thing and not let these two people snatch it away, otherwise, he would not be able to bear the price if he was blamed by the superiors.

Mo Ran followed behind him unhurriedly, he was fast when the person was fast, and slow when the person was slow, always following two steps away from him.

Like a cat teasing a mouse.

The man gritted his teeth and quickened his pace. He couldn't believe that he couldn't get rid of the man behind him.

After a while, the cold facts told him that he really couldn't get rid of it.

Mo Ran reckoned that the master's side should be over, so he quickened his pace, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the leader, blocking his way.

When the cat had had enough fun and didn't bother wasting time, it struck ruthlessly, and the mouse had no chance of escaping.

Mo Ran locked the leader's escape route, he kicked over, and the man fell to the ground, spitting out blood.

In the whiteness, coquettish blood-colored flowers bloomed.

The man wiped the corners of his lips, his eyes were full of determination, since the thing might not be able to protect him, then he would fight, it would be death anyway.

He gripped the knife tightly, got up and slashed.

Mo Ran turned his head to avoid his sharp blade.Sweep one leg again.

This time, he didn't give the man time to react, he pressed him face down on the ground, and his fists rained down on his back.

If the master didn't say to keep alive, he probably wouldn't have the patience to play cat and mouse with him, and he would most likely kill him with one move.

The man vomited blood unceasingly, and the scream echoed in the dark night, it was really penetrating.

When he had no resistance and ensured that he could survive, Mo Ran stopped and dragged the man away, leaving patches of blood behind him, like plum blossoms.

Those people were easily dealt with by Xiao Yichen. He took a knife and split the lock on the box.

The box was opened, and it was full of silver.

Mo Ran threw the person on the ground, Xiao Yichen lifted the curtain of the car and walked down.

"master."

The person lying on the ground struggled to move.

Xiao Yichen squatted on the ground, turned the person over, blood soaked the black facecloth.

Mo Ran picked up his face towel with a knife.

It was an extremely pale face.

"Who sent you here?" Xiao Yichen asked.

He snorted coldly and turned his head away, very stiff.

Xiao Yichen slightly hooked his lips.

Mo Ran took out a small medicine bottle from his arms, pinched his chin, and force-fed the small black pill into his mouth.

He was terrified, coughing uncontrollably, trying to spit out the pills.

"What did you feed me?"

"It's nothing, it's just a medicine to make your feelings deeper." He said with a cold face and no expression.

In the past, when the shadow guards in the palace were trained, they would be forced to take this medicine by themselves. No matter how hard they were, the pain was really terrible. In the end, they basically went in vertically and came out horizontally.

Mo Ran turned the tip of the knife, avoided the vital point, and stabbed straight into his thigh.

"what……"

He screamed, panting loudly.

It hurts so much.

It's better to kill him directly.

"Who sent you here?"

He still gritted his teeth, shut his mouth tightly, and planned to resist to the end.

Xiao Yichen seemed appreciative, "Not bad, you have a lot of backbone."

Mo Ran drew out the knife, but before he could yell out, he stabbed in again with the next knife.

His eyes were about to split open, and the cry of pain was stuck in his throat.

"Spine is the most important thing."

Xiao Yichen stood up, "Last chance."

The man turned his head, closed his eyes, and bit hard.

Mo Ran took a step ahead of him and pinched his jaw.

He opened his eyes, unable to bite his tongue to kill himself, making him struggle and twist wildly like a trapped animal.

Seeing that the next knife was about to stab again, he flinched in fear.

It hurts too much.

It really hurts.

"……I say."

He still succumbed, succumbed to the pain, no one is not afraid of pain.

Mo Ran's knife stopped, and just stopped there without stabbing.

He glanced at the man, the meaning was obvious, if he didn't tell the truth, the knife would still stab him.

"Ningdao, he sent me here."

The conjecture was confirmed, Mo Ran glanced at Xiao Yichen, and continued to ask: "Where do you want to transport the things?"

"Go east, there is a cave on the mountain over there, put it there first."

"Why?"

"I do not know."

Moran's wrist moved slightly, and he was about to stab it.

"Really, I didn't lie to you." He waved his hands and moved his body with great effort, trying to avoid the knife.

"He only said that the weather is cold and the roads are slippery now. Few people go to the mountains. It's safer there. He didn't say anything else."

Mo Ran didn't look like he was lying, he stood up, looked at Xiao Yichen, and signaled how to deal with this person, should he be killed or not?

Xiao Yichen waved his hand, Mo Ran dropped the knife, "You know what to say when you go back?"

The man nodded, "I know, I know." After he finished speaking, he didn't dare to stay for a moment, he scrambled and covered his legs, and ran away stumbled.

Mo stained the carriage, looked through a few boxes, all of them were silver.

"Master, how to deal with these?"

"Go to that cave."

Mo Ran nodded, it was time to go fishing.
