Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms

   Chapter 105 The family background

  In the world, some things, sometimes, can be coincidental enough to make everyone feel unbelievable.

  The people of the Ran's caravan, this day can be regarded as the experience of being stunned again and again.

   The rain became heavier and heavier, and the chaotic army below smashed itself in this rain, and finally all of them collapsed and disappeared.

  Who dares to say that this is not absurd or ridiculous?

   The captive above who was dragged by Xiao Wu was so frightened that he fought two battles. For a while, he didn't even know if he should be glad that he was captured.

   The Ran's caravan was in high spirits, and Uncle Ming couldn't help shouting loudly, "Brothers, it is God who helps me, and the ancestors protect me!"

   Everyone in the caravan immediately cheered: "God help me wait! Ancestor protects me!"

  Under such high morale, even if it was also raining, even if the mountain road was more difficult to walk, the caravan's people led the horses, dragged the carts, and braved the rain, but they stepped out of the momentum of the wind.

   They descended the mountain with difficulty and strength in the rain.

  The tarpaulin covered the carriages tightly, and the people and horses were soaked in the rain, but the materials in the carriages were not wet at all.

   In the meantime, Cheng Ling did not let Xiao Wu lead the horse again.

   She asked Xiao Wu to help others stabilize the carriage, and she also got off the horse herself. Seeing that anyone had a tendency to slip, she hurried over to help.

   Sometimes I help the car, sometimes I help people.

   Her speed is very fast, her movements are agile and light, and her strength is still very strong. It can be said that she is far beyond ordinary men, and many guards are not as good as her.

   In this case, Cheng Ling was also very helpful to the caravan.

   When we finally got down the mountain, the rain just stopped.

  Uncle Ming hurriedly came over and asked Cheng Ling whether to continue walking, or rest in place and dry his clothes before leaving.

  Cheng Ling said: "Can't stop, let's go back to the city at night, go back and clean up."

   As for resting in place, there is mud everywhere now, so what can you do to rest?

  Uncle Ming heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly urged everyone in the caravan to set off.

In the    caravan, at this time someone was smiling naively.

   Sweat and rain were mixed on them, and the eyes they looked at Cheng Ling changed from awe and alienation in the past to the kindness and affection they are now.

  Uncle Ming saw this natural change, and he actually felt emotional.

   He took another look at Xiao Wu, who was very attentive next to Cheng Ling, and shook his head secretly for a while.

   When Cheng Ling helped everyone in the caravan drive the car just now, she not only won the favor of everyone, but also gained a lot of information from the conversation with everyone.

  For example, although some of these people in the caravan were recruited from the outside world, such as Xiaowu, such as ordinary guards with more than half of them, and some rough porters, coolies, etc.

   But other people who occupy an important position in the caravan, such as the leader of the **** team, such as Uncle Ming, such as the accountant responsible for calculating the income and expenditure of the caravan, are all servants of the Ran family.

   These domestic servants are real, they have been slaves of the Ran family for generations, and they are loyal to the Ran family.

  Their parents, wives and children, brothers, friends, and even all people with intimate relationships, basically depend on Ran for a living. They are the green leaves, vines, and even insects attached to the big tree of the Ran family.

After understanding this relationship, Cheng Ling also understood why these people were so loyal to Ran Wenji.

   A family-born slave like this is probably one of the reasons why the family is different from ordinary upstarts.

   Although the Ran family is said to be a fallen gentry, and now even "reduced" to the point of doing business for a living, this background is still beyond the reach of ordinary poor families.

  Cheng Ling silently remembers these relationships, and has a feeling that the rules of this world are becoming clearer.

   In the second half of the night, when the starlight reappeared, the caravan finally arrived outside the south gate of Chixia City.

  The South Gate is more heavily guarded than the East Gate. The caravan had just stopped outside the South Gate when a small team of city gate officers and soldiers trotted over from the side of the gate and questioned them sternly.

Uncle Ming took out Ran's letter and Lu Yin, and quietly held hands with the city guard, stuffed the wallet and money, and explained the situation: "The road is not peaceful, we can't do anything about it, we have to hurry overnight. Only When I get to our Chixia City, I can rest assured, little old man."

The city guard's face softened and his tone became polite, but he still said: "It's not that I'm not accommodating, but when the city gate is opened in the middle of the night, the subordinate officials really don't have this right. No one dares to come, unless it is a relative of the lord. to."

   said again: "Brother, just take the caravan and wait at the gate of the city. As soon as the hour arrives and the gate opens, you can enter."

  Uncle Ming couldn't force it. Not only could he not beg, but he had to give thanks again and again.

   Finally, the caravan waited at the gate of the city. Behind, Cheng Ling handed over the captives to Xiao Wu, but wanted to leave quietly.

Xiao Wu didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing others, so he quickly asked Cheng Ling in a low voice: "You just left? Don't hand over to Ran Wenji face to face, in case he relies on your account and doesn't return the agreed benefits. What shall I do for you?"

  Cheng Ling laughed, she reached out and patted Xiao Wu's shoulder, and replied softly, "He wouldn't dare."

   After she finished speaking, she waved to Xiao Wu, then turned around and strode away without looking back.

  Cheng Ling's figure quickly disappeared into the night, and also disappeared from the sight of Xiao Wu and others. Leaving Xiao Wu baring his teeth on the spot, he touched the shoulder that Cheng Ling had patted on.

   "Alas." For some reason, Xiao Wu sighed.

  Cheng Ling was eager to leave, but he was actually worried about his family. She didn't want to wait outside the city gate until dawn, so she simply bid farewell to the caravan, and ran around the city wall to the east to find it.

   Is there really no slack in the walls of Chixia Castle?

  Impossible.

  Cheng Ling ran eastward to the middle of the city wall, and as expected, he found that there were almost no guards in this area.

However, a patrolling soldier had just passed by here, and Cheng Ling waited patiently under this section of the city wall. When the group of soldiers was completely gone and could no longer be seen, he took out the grappling hook and raised his flying claws. Get ready to climb up the wall.

   This section of the city wall is ten meters high, and with Cheng Ling's current light work, he can't jump directly onto the wall.

   But with the help of the grappling hook, Cheng Ling stomped lightly on the city wall a few times, and finally managed to jump on this section of the city wall.

  Since she has done it on the wall, it will naturally be easier to get off the wall.

  Cheng Ling didn't even need to use the grappling hook this time. After she jumped down, her body rolled in mid-air, her toes lightly tapped on the city wall to release the force, but she landed lightly in a moment.

   So far, no guards have been alerted.

  Cheng Ling, clothed in starlight, quickly returned to Cheng's house in Dongcheng District.

   This is completely a subconscious habit. Although Mu Sanniang and others were not in the Cheng residence, Cheng Ling habitually wanted to go back and have a look first.

   At the back door of Cheng's house, Cheng Ling was about to push the door and enter when suddenly a cold light came from the slanting thorn.

   A familiar warning sign suddenly appeared!
