Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 440 Chang'an
After the second in command finished speaking, Xiao Ran had already jumped off the horse. With a tap of his foot, he leaped a hundred meters away.

"Oh my god, you said it's not a ghost, but it ran faster than a ghost." The second in command shuddered and silently chanted in his heart: "Amitabha."

Xiao Ran's speed was indeed beyond common sense. When he heard that his wife was injured, he did not use his specialty, Drifting with the Wind, but instead used another set of footwork.

This step was very strange, and each step was incredibly fast, as if the soles of the feet were being dragged by a breeze. Often, when a step was taken in mid-air, the person would be blown more than ten meters away by the breeze.

But in a flash, Xiao Ran saw the shadow of a team behind him.

Xiao Ran immediately locked onto Gao Yuting, who was at the front of the team.

Gao Yuting was riding a horse and talking and laughing with a few people, but her face showed that she was seriously injured, even her lips were white.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran unconsciously quickened his pace, and his figure was like a ghost, appearing in front of the team the next moment.

"who!!"

Everyone was startled to see Xiao Ran suddenly appear. Then a white-haired old man stood in front of Xiao Ran, with iron claws in both hands, and slapped Xiao Ran head-on.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran used his hand like a ring and grabbed the old man's wrist with his backhand.

The old man's expression changed slightly, and he quickly changed his moves. His five fingers were like eagle claws, and his fingertips grabbed Xiao Ran's wrist.

"Eagle Claw Kung Fu?"

There was a strange look in Xiao Ran's eyes, as he had just seen a complete set of Eagle Claw Kung Fu in the City of the Dead. Seeing that the old man was using Eagle Claw Kung Fu, he swept his arm across, using Professor Li Jingqi's nameless boxing technique. The moves were open and closed, and looked simple, but the power was hidden. Just by pushing forward, he broke the old man's Eagle Claw Kung Fu and pushed him away six or seven feet away.

"Good work!"

The old man couldn't help but praise the skill.

"Don't do it, he's my man!"

At this time, Gao Yuting hurriedly called a halt, jumped off the horse, and glared at Xiao Ran in reproach; "Why are you here?"

"You're already injured, how can I not come?"

Xiao Ran put his hand on Gao Yuting's pulse and frowned immediately: "What happened? Is she so badly injured?"

Although Gao Yuting had no external injuries, she suffered severe internal injuries, which is not something an ordinary person can do.

"Hey, I met a lama from the Western Regions. He said he wanted to preach and asked me to return to the One, but he ended up fighting with me and ran away."

Gao Yuting talked about what happened last night. She went to a party with her two sisters as scheduled, and everything was going well.

They agreed to meet up with Xiao Ran, but halfway through the journey, they saw a lama sitting cross-legged on the side of the road.

When she saw Gao Yuting and others, she not only spoke frivolously to them, but also asked them to convert and become her concubines.

Gao Yuting drew her sword and was about to chop the other person, but she didn't expect that the lama's strength was not weaker than hers, and was even stronger than hers.

The two fought fiercely for several moves and it was evenly matched. Gao Yuting made up her mind and tried a tactic of both dying. Although she did not gain the upper hand, the lama himself was seriously injured and fled away in embarrassment.

Because of this delay, they have only just caught up with Xiao Ran's team.

"Lama!"

Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes. He didn't care whether the other party was a trumpet or a lama. If he met one, he would definitely chop off his head and kick it like a ball.

"Yuting, is this the ideal husband you mentioned?"

The two women on horseback nearby dismounted, walked to Gao Yuting's side, and looked Xiao Ran up and down.

Well, you know what, although Xiao Ran can’t be said to be handsome, he has regular facial features and is not bad looking.

After becoming a patrol officer, the invisible aura on his body naturally gave people a feeling of majesty and righteousness.

The two women looked at him and secretly praised him in their hearts: "He is indeed a rare talent, extraordinary."

"These two are sisters from Shui Mo Villa, Gu Baifeng and Gu Xuefeng. When I was traveling around the martial arts world, I was very grateful for their care."

After hearing Gao Yuting's introduction, Xiao Ran smiled and bowed: "Xiao Ran, thank you two sisters."

"Brother Xiao, please don't be polite. Yuting and I have known each other for many years. We didn't expect this girl to do so many things without making a fuss. She has become famous in the world. Even her ideal husband is so outstanding. We envied her for a while. At first, we didn't believe it. But today, let alone Yuting, even my sister has been interested in her."

"If not, Brother Xiao could just take us both in, so that we can continue to be sisters with Yu Ting."

The two sisters were both hot-tempered and spoke in a fiery and aggressive manner, leaving Xiao Ran at a loss as to how to respond.

"Go away." Gao Yuting rolled her eyes at the two sisters, then turned to Xiao Ran and said, "Ignore them. Each one is more out of tune than the other. They have scared away countless matchmakers over the years."

"Yuting is probably scared now."

"If you two keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouths off."

Gao Yuting was so angry that her ears turned red.

Xiao Ran stood aside, so embarrassed that she could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with her toes. It turned out that Yu Ting didn't let her go with her last night because it was really for her own good.

"Brother, I am Hu Zhi. I apologize for my rudeness. But there is one thing I don't understand. May I ask you for your advice?"

The old man who had just taken action came forward and bowed to Xiao Ran and said.

"Thank you for being polite, senior. It was I who was rude. If you have any questions, feel free to ask." When the old man saw that he was going towards Yu Ting, he immediately flew over to block him. Just for this reason, Xiao Ran's liking for the old man increased dramatically.

"Uh..." The more generous Xiao Ran was, the more embarrassed the old man felt.

He smacked his lips, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then asked, "Brother, your change of tactics just now was extremely clever. Ordinary people don't know the power of my move, and they definitely won't change tactics so quickly and decisively. Could it be that you, brother..."

"Oh, I have a friend who also knows Eagle Claw. I suffered a loss from this move before, so I learned my lesson."

Xiao Ran's universal excuse made the old man suddenly enlightened and he felt much better.

After all, as soon as he used his special move, the other party easily broke it with his backhand. You can imagine the blow he felt inside.

"This is not the place to talk. Let's hurry on. Once we get into Chang'an City, we can have a drink and chat afterwards."

"That's good. Yuting's injury hasn't healed yet, so it would be best if we could get to Chang'an as soon as possible."

After everyone finished talking, they set off again, Xiao Ran and Gao Yuting riding on the same horse.

On the way, Gao Yuting pinched Xiao Ran's thigh hard, causing Xiao Ran to grimace in pain.

"Pinch me for what?"

"Who told you not to be honest? Did you just act before?"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Ran looked puzzled.

Gao Yuting curled her lips and said, "Your light skill when you came here just now was so exquisite that even I was distracted and couldn't see it clearly. I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. If you have such light skill, you should have hidden it long ago."

"Ah? Qinggong?"

Xiao Ran scratched his head and thought carefully. It seemed that he did not use any light skills when he came here. He just habitually imitated the monk's footwork.

But he couldn't explain this matter either.

You can't say that you went to meet your best friend last night and I was kidnapped and taken to the underworld.

It’s not that I don’t trust Yuting, but what she said sounded so unbelievable, even more untrue than a lie, so I just smiled foolishly and pretended to be stupid.

The team soon joined up with Li Jie's team.

Then they continued to head towards Chang'an City. To be on the safe side, Xiao Ran specially asked Gao Yuting to get on the carriage.

She suffered internal injuries, which anyone with a discerning eye could see. Moreover, the sword review was imminent and there were many experts in Chang'an City. In order to avoid being targeted, it would be better for her to hide in the carriage.

It was not until the afternoon that the team drove into Chang'an City in a mighty manner.

When the team drove into the huge gate of Chang'an City, Xiao Ran couldn't help but be shocked by the prosperous world before his eyes.

In the afternoon in Chang'an, the sun is shining brightly and the green willows are swaying.

The broad Suzaku Street runs through the entire city, with shops lining both sides of the street, making it extremely prosperous.

There is a constant stream of people and it is very lively.

The men wore round-necked robes, soft-footed hats on their heads, leather belts around their waists, and long boots, looking very dignified.

The women wore various kinds of skirts, shawls, and head coverings. They walked lightly and gracefully.

The buildings on both sides of the street are even more magnificent, with ingenuity shown in every detail, tall buildings, carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and corners, red bricks and green tiles, and colorful colors.

Restaurants, teahouses, inns, pharmacies, everything can be found at a glance, with all kinds of goods piled up like mountains. There are not only domestic silk, porcelain, and tea, but also jewelry and spices from the Western Regions. The sounds of trading and shouting can be heard one after another, and every place reflects the prosperity and splendor of this dynasty's capital.

"Pity."

Xiao Ran sighed secretly in his heart. No matter how prosperous it was, after the initial surprise, Xiao Ran could notice the numb eyes of the people passing by on the street. The breeze blew, and there was a smell of decay in the air.

Chang'an in front of me was like a lady standing in the street, with her back against the wall and a cigarette in her hand.

At first glance, the provocative eyes and stunning heavy makeup make your heart beat fast, but when you both go upstairs tacitly and take off your clothes, no matter how strong the perfume is, it can't cover up the pungent fishy smell.

So as an experienced driver, are you running now, or are you already here?
Xiao Ran is in this mood now, but he has no choice but to follow the team to Li Jie's residence.

The people at home had known that Li Jie was coming back. Although they were surprised that Li Jie came back so early, they still stood outside waiting.

"Brother Xiao, we at Shui Mo Villa are not good at dealing with the government, so we will not go with you. If you have time, you can go to Fu Lai Inn on Zhuque Street to find us."

The Gu sisters bowed to Xiao Ran and said goodbye.

After all, the people of Shui Mo Villa are from the underworld. They cannot get used to living in such a luxurious house where they need someone to serve them even when they take a bath or urinate.

Xiao Ran nodded slightly to show his understanding: "When Yu Ting recovers from her injuries, we will go to look for you. By then, we will not return until we are drunk."

"Farewell."

The two sisters didn't act pretentiously. They just bowed and left.

Xiao Ran and others followed Li Jie into the mansion. Li Jie specially arranged a quiet courtyard for the two of them and took out the treasured medicines in the mansion.

After Gao Yuting took the medicine and lay down on the bed to rest, Xiao Ran sat beside the bed, took out the coroner's inheritance from the space, and flipped through the Record of Clearing Wrongs...
