In fact, not only Li Zian, but also some other guards were grateful and admired Lin Lan in their hearts.
Lin Lan really surprised them.
His strength is not high, how did he easily defeat his opponent
They were all puzzled by this.
The people from the Xuandu Chamber of Commerce were originally only a little weaker than the men in black. At this time, with the help of Lin Lan, the people from the Xuandu Chamber of Commerce quickly gained the upper hand.
Whoosh!
Li Zian's long sword of spiritual power slashed towards the neck of a black-clothed assassin. At this moment, the sword soared by a foot, directly cutting off the black-clothed assassin's head.
This Li Zian's strength is not bad.
"withdraw!"
The leader of the black-clothed assassin saw that he couldn't do anything, and immediately gave an order. Immediately afterwards, all the assassins quickly retreated without any delay.
"Just leave like this?"
Lin Lan looked at the black-clothed assassin who quickly escaped and was a little stunned.
"Who are these people?"
"Let's hurry to Qingdi City."
Li Zian's face was not very good-looking.
He said again: "Everyone pack up and speed up! Brother Lin Lan, come over here."
Li Zian called Lin Lan aside, took out a demon core with aqua-blue brilliance in the center from his arms, handed it to Lin Lan, and said, "Just now, thank you!"
"a piece of cake!"
Lin Lan waved his hand and said.
He stared at Li Zian again and asked, "Brother Zian, do you know who those people are?"
"I guessed a few."
Li Zian answered with a gloomy face.
"Lin Lan, what I'm going to say next may be a bit abrupt. However, I still have to ask, can you promise me one thing?"
"you say."
Lin Lan shook the demon core in his hand, which made him a little curious.
Li Zian smiled and said: "This demon core is to thank you for saving us just now. There is one more thing, I want you to help me."
Li Zi settled for a while, glanced at a carriage in the center of the convoy, and whispered:
"I want to ask you to leave first, and at the same time help me bring the people in the car back to Qingdi City and find a place to settle them."
"The person in the car?"
Lin Lan looked towards the center of the convoy. He didn't seem to see the carriage's curtains open. Even if someone attacked just now, there was no movement on the carriage.
Dan Chen asked, "It's convenient to tell me, who is the person in the car?"
"A girl."
While talking, Li Zian took Lin Lan to the side of the carriage and knocked on the door lightly.
Immediately after, a weak female voice came from the carriage, saying, "Brother Li?"
"it's me."
Li Zian said.
"Miss Ruan, someone attacked the caravan just now. I don't think they were targeting the caravan's goods."
"Because of me?"
The voice in the carriage was full of low emotions: "Anyone hurt?"
"Thanks to Brother Lin Lan for taking action."
Li Zian respectfully stood beside the carriage and whispered.
"Only a few of our people were slightly injured, and there is no fear of their lives."
he said.
The curtain of the carriage was opened by a pair of white and tender hands, and only then did Lin Lan see the person in the carriage.
It turned out that there was a teenage girl in the carriage.
The girl looked at Li Zian next to the carriage and asked softly, "Brother Li, since you came to me, you must have your own ideas. What do you want me to do?"
"Miss Ruan."
Li Zian took a deep breath and said slowly, "I want you and Brother Lin Lan to leave first."
The girl's crescent-like eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
"If those people really came to you, you'd be safe only if you left."
Li Zian advised.
"I will take the caravan to attract their attention again."
"this person… "
The girl turned to look at Lin Lan, and then looked back at Li Zian.
"Is he an old friend of Big Brother Li?"
The girl asked, she was worried.
"We just met."
Li Zian speaks very honestly.
"But I trust him."
The girl's eyes wandered between Lin Lan and Li Zian, wondering what she was thinking.
After a long silence, she sighed and said, "It's all up to Big Brother Li's arrangement."
After the girl finished speaking, she sat back in the car again.
Lin Lan kept watching from the side without making a sound. He didn't know why, but he always had a weird feeling when facing this girl surnamed Ruan.
"Lin Lan, I will give you a chance to leave."
Li Zian patted Lin Lan's shoulder heavily and said solemnly.
"Miss Ruan's safety is very important, even more important than my life."
"But now, I have to entrust her to you."
"This woman, I always feel that he has an unspeakable temperament."
Lin Lan stared at Li Zian.
"Since she is so important, why do you dare to entrust her to me? We seem to have only just met."
"Because that's the only way."
Li Zian raised his head and looked at the direction where the black-clothed assassin was escaping, and said slowly.
"Miss Ruan, she follows us, there will be greater danger."
"How do you say that?"
Lin Lan asked.
A smile appeared on Li Zian's face.
"Lin Lan, there are some things that you can't tell with your mouth. I go out for business all the year round, and I can smell the thoughts of those people with my nose."
"Brother Li, those people are here again!"
Just then, an exclamation came from the front of the team.
Li Zian looked very calm, and asked loudly, "Are they still those people just now?"
"Yes!"
The man in front replied.
"Be alert now!"
Li Zian gave the order.
"Is that what you're worried about?"
Lin Lan said suddenly.
"Those people didn't really run away, they wanted to hide in the distance and harass them. Once we relaxed our guard, they would rush up?"
"Yes. And I suspect they're waiting for help, just slowing us down."
"Then what do you do?"
Lin Lan didn't ask any more questions, and directly asked Li Zian's plan.
The Xuandu Chamber of Commerce is far from being comparable to ordinary people, and even the City Lord's Mansion of an ordinary city-state cannot compare with it.
The relationship network of this kind of power is intertwined, if you can make such friends, it is not bad.
Lin Lan decided to side with Li Zian this time.
After Li Zian whispered in Lin Lan's ear for a while, he turned and left.
Lin Lan sighed and walked to the carriage with Yan Lianqiu, staring blankly at Li Zian's back.
"His method is indeed feasible, but I didn't expect that he would actually give up his life for a girl."
Lin Lan pretended to be stupid in front of Li Zian, but she already understood everything in her heart.
"Those assassins in black must have a very strong background."
"The previous team of men in black were all very strong warriors, and all of them were in their prime."
"These people are obviously deliberately selected."
Lin Lan's heart is bright.
"Since they can send so many powerful warriors, maybe they can send even more powerful people!"
"As long as time drags on, everyone in this caravan may die."
Lin Lan shook his head and sighed. He could see through this, and Li Zian, who had been out all year round, could also see through it naturally. "
…
Time passed by, and under the repeated harassment of the remaining black-clothed assassins, it was difficult for the horse team of the Xuandu Chamber of Commerce to move forward at a normal speed.
They stopped and went along the way, always on the lookout for enemies who might rush out at any time.
It's just that no one noticed that in the process of this caravan's march, two people had quietly disappeared.
…
…
Boom!
Lin Lan raised her hand to open the wooden board on her body, pushed it aside, and hurriedly turned around to look at the girl beside her.
"How are you doing?"
"I'm okay."
The girl surnamed Ruan smiled shyly, and climbed out of the hole with Lin Lan.
Looking at the unfamiliar environment around her, she was silent for a while before asking, "Lin Lan, where are we going now?"
Lin Lan immediately pulled Yan Lianqiu out of the hole, and then replied to the girl surnamed Ruan, "We can't go to the west gate of Qingdi City, there must be many people waiting for us there."
Lin Lan bent down and picked up the plank on the ground, put it back on the ground, blocked the hole where they hid before, and finally sprinkled it all over with dirt.
"We dug this pit during the time when the caravan was forced to stop by the black-clothed assassins, and then let Brother Zi'an bury it. We really escaped the detection of those black-clothed assassins."
"Since we have all escaped, what are you doing with this hole covered?"
The girl surnamed Ruan asked in confusion.
"Because it was necessary to cover it."
Lin Lan said in a low voice, "Those assassins in black are likely to come back. They can't be found here. Otherwise, our whereabouts will be revealed."
The girl surnamed Ruan had been in the car before, so as long as the car moved forward, those people would keep pestering the people of the Xuandu Chamber of Commerce.
They never thought that Li Zian would dare to entrust this matter to others, so for a while, there would be no more doubts.
What Lin Lan did here was just in case.
"Well, if they can't find anyone with Big Brother Li, it's really possible for them to come back."
The girl surnamed Ruan nodded slightly.
But in fact, when they found out that they were wrong and came back, Lin Lan and the others really didn't know where they went.
Are they still waiting for those people here
This is obviously not what Lin Lan meant.
However, he didn't say anything at this time.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Lin Lan asked, "What do you think will happen to those black-clothed assassins after finding Brother Zi'an and finding that you have run away?"
The girl smiled and said: "Probably will be very angry? Then go back to catch us crazily?"
"anything else?"
Lin Lan and Yan Lianqiu took the young girl and left quickly, asking as they walked, "What do you think they will do to Brother Zi'an?"
"Being scolded?"
Seeing that Lin Lan's face was not good-looking, the girl said again, "Brother Li won't be beaten again, right?"
Lin Lan didn't want to say more, but looking at the girl's expression now, it didn't seem like she was lying. He couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Do you know the identities of those people in black?"
"They're probably coming for me."
The girl stuck out her tongue and smiled at Lin Lan, "I ran out of the house secretly."
Lin Lan went on to ask: "Your family is used to everyone being covered in veils, and they will kill people if they make a move?"
"of course not!"
"So when the convoy was attacked before, didn't you see it?"
Lin Lan looked at the girl in front of her in amazement.
"No."
The girl surnamed Ruan shook her head gently: "I was worried that my family was coming to me, so I didn't even dare to lift the curtain of the carriage, and I have been hiding in the carriage, not knowing what was going on outside."
In desperation, Lin Lan had to describe the words and deeds of the assassin in black to the girl in detail.
Similar words, Li Zian has also said before, but the description is not as detailed as Lin Lan.
"You mean, they're killers?"
The girl's face changed, and she murmured, "Impossible! Even my family doesn't know where I'm going when I come out this time. How could those killers find me?"
"Killers? Are you familiar with them?"
Lin Lan stopped.
"No, no."
The girl realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly said, "Then what should we do now?"
"No, if those people are not my family, then Big Brother Li is in danger! Shall we go back to Big Brother Li now?"
"There is still some conscience."
Lin Lan felt somewhat comforted when she saw the girl surnamed Ruan showing her pale face.
He said: "Don't worry, this place is very close to Qingdi City. Even if those people can't find you, even if they get angry, they don't dare to make too much noise."
"real?"
The girl surnamed Ruan asked.
Lin Lan said, "When you see Li Zian in the future, just ask him yourself."
"But… "
What else did the girl want to say. But Lin Lan interrupted her.
"Nothing but."
Lin Lan took the girl all the way to the south, and said sternly, "If you go back now, Brother Zi'an's thoughts will be wasted."
The girl gave Lin Lan a timid look, not daring to say anything more.
After walking for more than an hour, the girl surnamed Ruan couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going? Why haven't we seen anyone?"
"No one usually comes here."
Lin Lan looked back from time to time to see if anyone was following him.
He said: "If I want to take you back to Qingdi City, the road to the west gate must be blocked. Maybe there are people watching from the north, so I can only take you on a road that others can't think of."
"A road that others can't think of? What kind of road is that?"
Yan Lianqiu was also strange at this time.
Lin Lan looked up at the continuous mountain in front of her, took a deep breath, and said, "Dragonyin Valley!"
"… "
Yan Lianqiu was unable to speak for a while. But Lin Lan didn't take her into consideration either.
After he finished speaking, he looked back at the girl surnamed Ruan, and said doubtfully, "Why can't I feel the existence of true qi in you? Don't you practice martial arts?"
"Of course I practice."
The girl rolled her eyes at Lin Lan and said, "In the family, I, Ruan Xinxin, have the highest cultivation talent."
Lin Lan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Then your current strength is..."
Ruan Xinxin's voice softened immediately, and the voice was as small as a mosquito humming: "Peak of Body Refinement."
"Haha, peak body training?" Lin Lan's eyes widened with an incredible look on his face.
"You mean, you haven't gathered qi yet?"
He was even a little happy. This is really...
