This shadow guard is kinda nice

The sky was gloomy, snowflakes fell on the ground, and the wheels rolled up again the next moment, making a muffled sound.

Mo Ran sat by the side of the carriage with his eyes closed, and Xiao Yi'an was at his side, looking at his face in a trance with boredom.

The jaw line was tight, showing some sharp-edged sternness, and the profile of his profile was extremely perfect. Even if Xiao Yi'an had read all the beauties, he had to admit that the shadow guard next to Xiao Yichen was an unconventional beauty.

The longer he looked at it, Xiao Yi'an felt that this face had a familiar feeling, and he always felt that he had seen him somewhere, but he could say with certainty that it was not at the banquet, because at that banquet he saw this man standing When he was behind Xiao Yichen, he felt that this face was familiar.

But where he saw it, he couldn't remember it.

Mo Ran opened his eyes, his eyes fell on his face for too long, he didn't understand, what's so interesting about this, could it be that Xiao Yi'an is too idle?

When Xiao Yi'an saw Mo Ran wake up, he didn't have the slightest intention to withdraw his scrutinizing gaze. Although he couldn't remember where he had seen him, but for a beauty, it's always good to look at more.

Mo Ran was speechless, and was addicted to watching, but he didn't bother to say anything, he watched as much as he wanted, and he didn't care, anyway, he wouldn't lose a piece of meat. He closed his eyes again, and the carriage moved forward steadily, towards a sunset .

It had been snowing for a day, and when night fell, it hadn't stopped yet. Xiao Yi'an and his party rested in a nearby village. They spent a couple of dollars and rented a whole set of yards from the villagers. To ensure safety, everyone lived in Together.

The villagers enthusiastically brought them food, which was simple and not very tasty, but they were full.Mo Ran ate some, he had no appetite and left the table early.

Snow like goose feathers fell one after another, Mo Ran walked slowly, the wind at night was very penetrating, but Mo Ran's inner strength was so deep that it didn't affect him at all, he walked for a while, and then went back.

Xiao Yi'an had already fallen asleep, the main room was pitch black, Mo Ran pushed open the door, and lay down in the next room with his clothes folded, he didn't feel much sleepy, he slept for half a day on the road, and now he is very energetic.

He opened his eyes, the window was blown by the wind, and he thought of Xiao Yichen again, wondering what the master is doing now?Already asleep or still busy.

He reached out to touch the jade pendant at his waist, took it off and held it in front of his eyes, but unfortunately the sky was very heavy today and there was no moonlight, otherwise the jade pendant's pale brilliance and moonlight would be beautiful together.

He curved his lips slightly.The whistling wind was mixed with some different sounds, and Mo Ran's expression changed instantly. He carefully put away the jade pendant, got up and got out of bed, walked to the window, held his breath, and looked sideways.

There is an empty space in front of the eyes, and the snowflakes are still swirling.

The strange sound just now seemed to be just an illusion.

Mo Ran frowned, and the next moment, he jumped out of the window, entangled with the figure flying out from under the eaves of the corridor.

The visitor was dressed in black with a silver-white mask covering his face. The cold light made people shudder even more in the night.

Mo Ran dismantled every move he saw, and also didn't play tricks with him.

The gate of the courtyard was open, and more men in black clothes poured in from a distance, all with silver and white masks, and people entered every room. Seeing this, Mo Ran slapped his hand hard and waved a hard palm, his inner strength shook The man flew out of the yard and brought down the people behind him

The man fell to the ground, and the mask fell off at some point. He pressed his chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, his body twitched twice, and then he tilted his head and died.

The rest of the people looked at each other, and they rushed towards Moran together.

Mo Ran stood in the middle of the courtyard, raised his eyes slightly, his face was full of arrogance, he turned his head sideways, the man's dagger fell into the air, and the next person attacked again without giving Mo Ran any more time.

Mo Ran bent his legs, the man got a hard kick in the chest, and flew over obliquely, more and more people surrounded Mo Ran, they attacked together, neck, chest, abdomen, arms, everywhere there were swords and fists coming .

Mo Ran's figure changed rapidly, trying to dodge as much as possible, he found a direction, stretched out his hand to grab the sword in the man's hand, stabbed fiercely with his backhand, the flesh was cut open by the sharp weapon, blood kept flowing out, Mo Ran drew the sword, The dagger that was only an inch away from his vest fell to the ground with a bang, and the man fell down with his eyes wide open and his stomach covered.

A steady stream of internal energy poured into the sword, and Mo Ran swiped his hand horizontally, the sword was full of aura, and all the people around fell to the ground screaming.

Mo Ran held the sword and stood in the middle of the courtyard with an indifferent expression. The courtyard was full of people just now, but now there was only one person standing there intact.

The next moment, several doors were opened, and men in black clothes and silver masks walked out. They stood in place without moving. In the innermost room, there were not only men standing at the door, but also Zhao Kai and his companions. Several people.

Until the door of the main house was violently kicked open, Xiao Yi'an was held hostage by the man behind him and walked out.

"You can fight?" The man's voice was very hoarse, not pleasant, as if something was stuck in his throat and forced to speak.

"You're not bad," Mo Ran said expressionlessly, "He's already in your hands."

Hearing this, the man laughed twice, "It's good that you know," the dagger across Xiao Yi'an's neck deepened, and a thin red line of blood slowly appeared.

Xiao Yi'an frowned, the cynicism that had been hanging on his face all the time was gone, there was only panic on his face at this moment, he was afraid that if the dagger was deeper, he would really confess here this time.He moved his lips and wanted to speak, but he couldn't say anything, he could only hum meaninglessly.

He was hit by the man's Ya acupuncture point, and he couldn't say anything.

Mo Ran held the sword, but he was not moved. Even if Xiao Yi'an died in front of him, he did not fluctuate at all, not to mention that it was just such a gentle stroke on the neck.

The man was shocked by the fact that Mo Ran had nothing to do with him. How can he say that his master is held hostage in his hands? He should be touched. With such an indifferent face, aren't they masters and servants?But it doesn't matter if he is a master or servant, and his goal is not Xiao Yi'an.

He raised his head, passed Xiao Yi'an, looked straight at Zhao Kai, and then said to Mo Ran: "If you let that man over there go, I will let him go, how about it?"

Mo Ran knew without looking, that he was talking about Zhao Kai.

Did the people from Jinling really come?This time it should be the prince's person, so it's clear that he doesn't want to give up the Zhao family's people?

Mo Ran didn't speak, but the man panicked for a moment, obviously he was the one holding the bargaining chip, but the man on the other side was as calm as he was.

In the small courtyard, apart from him, Xiao Yi'an, and Zhao Kai and others, they were basically brought by men, and Mo Ran was the only one who could fight.

Because he doesn't care, so he can be so indifferent, Mo Ran suddenly thought, if the person being held hostage today is the master, and the dagger was cut on the master's neck, he might go crazy.

He curled his lips into a smile, and at this moment, the glaring facts made him understand one more thing deeply.

He is loyal, and has never been King Xuan, because anyone can take this seat, Zhao Yichen, Qian Yichen, Sun Yichen, anyone can be King Xuan.His loyalty has always been Xiao Yichen alone.

It doesn't matter what position he is in, whether he is an emperor, a prince, or even an unknown person, he will dedicate his loyalty just because he is Xiao Yichen.

But maybe, it’s not just loyalty, there’s something else, but it’s too late for him to think about it now. When the man’s dagger was drawn deep again, Xiao Yi’an’s pupils shrank suddenly, and the sword in Mo Ran’s hand was full of undeniable With such strength, he passed him and stabbed straight at the man's shoulder.

The man couldn't dodge in time, his shoulder was pierced fiercely, his hand lost strength, the dagger fell to the ground, Xiao Yi'an's heart was raised in his throat, the restraint on his body was gone, he almost ran to Moran with all his strength behind.

With no bargaining chips, the man was quickly subdued. Seeing that the situation was over, the rest of the people ran and ran, and those who wanted to fight to the death were all killed by ink dyed swords.

The snow stopped at some point, and a few people fell in disorder in the yard, and the smell of blood wafted far away.Xiao Yi'an held his breath, the smell of blood was so strong that he wanted to vomit, but he didn't dare to vomit right now, he only dared to follow behind Mo Ran, not leaving every step, for fear that another group of people would suddenly come and kidnap him again up.

Most of the people they brought with them are gone, and now only Mo Ran, A Shi and Steward Zhao are available, and Zhao Kai, no matter how much he complains, Xiao Yi'an will send him to clean the yard and tidy up the room.

He Xiao Yi'an didn't complain, why should Zhao Kai complain.

The people who came to save him were incompetent, and if they couldn't save him, he had to suffer.

In the middle of the night, the yard was cleaned up. When Mo Ran pushed open the innermost room, there was a man lying face down at the door, his vest was pierced by a knife, and the knife was still stuck in his body. He looked pitiful and funny.

Xiao Yi'an followed Mo Ran into the door, and saw such a scene as soon as he saw it, he cursed bad luck secretly.

A Shi then walked in, Mo Ran looked around, he squatted down, and turned the person who fell on the ground over.

The pale face was even somewhat familiar.

Mo Ran narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and finally understood.

At that time in Pingyao, in the slums, the man who drove the old man out of the house, he even kicked the man.

He remembered that the master told him that Ah Shi was looking for someone to make trouble in front of the prefect's mansion, so he was looking for him.

Ah Shi stood aside, and he said at the right time, "When that group of people came in, let us not move, this man saw the opportunity and wanted to run out, he was about to reach the door, and they stabbed him through the heart from behind .”

Xiao Yi'an beside him clicked his tongue twice, he was fast asleep, when suddenly someone broke into the room, and before he could call out loudly, he was pressed on the Ya acupoint.

Looking at it now, it's a good thing he was tapped, otherwise he would yell and annoy people, and he would have been stabbed like this...

With a cold air coming from behind, Xiao Yi'an shook his head.

Mo Ran got up and walked out expressionlessly, Xiao Yi'an hurriedly followed out upon seeing this, A Shi glanced contemptuously at the man lying on the ground, and then went out too, passing Butler Zhao who shrank by the door and didn't dare to go in, He reached out and pulled.

After returning to the main house, fortunately, he didn't suffer too much, and he was still able to sleep. Mo Ran checked it, and he said to Xiao Yi'an who came in from behind: "Go to bed early." After he finished speaking, he went out .

Xiao Yi'an stretched out his hand to grab him, but he dodged it easily.

"What are you doing?" Mo Ran turned around and asked inexplicably.

Xiao Yi'an: "..."

Can he say he's too scared to be here alone?

He smirked twice, "Then what...can you stay here?"

Mo Ran refused, "No." He walked to the door, just stretched out his hand to open the door, and stepped out with one leg.

Xiao Yi'an said behind him: "Your master asked you to follow me, and you followed me like this?"

After a while, Mo Ran was sitting in front of the table, and walking a little further inside, it was Xiao Yi'an who was lying on the bed in his clothes.

Mo Ran sat for a while, looking sideways out of the window, among the mountains in the distance, the sky revealed a white belly, and a new day began.
