Jiang Youning accepted Qiao Ran's thanks calmly, and she did not participate in what happened next. But when she returned to her original position, the mother and son had disappeared, and a girl following Xia Xuxu There were obvious traces of crying on his face.
It was getting late, and the caravan finally stopped to rest.
"Uu! Uu!"
Upon hearing the order to rest, the coachmen immediately gave orders to the horses driving them, and soon the entire caravan stopped neatly in place.
The middle-aged man dressed as a butler found Jiang Youning again, and this time his tone became much more respectful.
"Ms. Jiang, our lady would like to ask you to go to the front and thank you for your reminder during the day."
Jiang Youning did not refuse. As she was leaving, she learned that the middle-aged man's name was Qiao Zhong and he was the housekeeper of Qiao Ran's family.
He is actually a butler!
Seeing Jiang Youning coming, Qiao Ran stood up with a smile to greet her, "I have to thank you for everything today. Miss Jiang is admirable for her boldness and carefulness."
In response, Jiang Youning just smiled and didn't take Qiao Ran's compliment to heart.
"By the way, do you know the details of the mother and son?"
Hearing Jiang Youning's question, the smile on Qiao Ran's face suddenly disappeared, and his expression became serious: "Those three people committed suicide after discovering that their identities were exposed. We can't ask anything."
Deadpool!
If ordinary bandits were mostly just looking for money, they would just run away even if they were discovered, and they would never commit suicide if they were very concerned about their lives.
"Even if nothing is found from those three people, you should have some guesses about the person behind it, right?"
"Indeed." Qiao Ran nodded: "The route of our caravan is not confidential, but there are only a few forces that can stop us at the expense of excluding Deadpool."
This topic was brought to an end, Jiang Youning didn't ask any more questions, and Qiao Ran didn't continue talking either.
It was late at night, and most people had already rested. However, Jiang Youning did not feel sleepy at all. She simply opened her big round eyes and counted the stars, and then she became more energetic as she counted.
"This is Ursa Minor, Ursa Major, Scorpio..."
Qiao Ran listened to Jiang Youning talking to herself and curiously asked: "Is Miss Jiang giving a name to every star?"
"Those are not the names of stars, and I did not choose these names..." When she was a child, whenever she couldn't sleep, her brother Jiang Zining would point to the stars in the sky to form various shapes and teach her how to recognize them.
At this time, Qiao Ran seemed to have noticed something and shouted loudly to the surroundings: "Everyone, pay attention, there is a thief approaching!"
Jiang Youning obviously noticed it, and stood up quickly, looking around vigilantly.
"Now that you're here, stop being sneaky and get out!" Qiao Ran yelled at the empty front with a cold face.
As Qiao Ran finished speaking, a group of masked men in black appeared holding sharp knives.
The men in black surrounded the caravan. The leader of the men in black walked to the front and said in a sharp and harsh voice: "Miss Qiao, we don't want to disturb everyone's rest. It's just that three of our brothers suddenly disappeared. All day long, only A group of you passed by here, so I came to inquire."
Obviously, the three brothers mentioned by the leader of the men in black are the mother and son who had been disguised before. From this, we can guess that these people came here deliberately to cause trouble.
"Feng Zheng, you Lengye mercenary group should stop spewing blood here. If you are wise, leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, my grandfather will not let you go."
Qiao Ran's eyes were cold and he revealed the identity of the person in front of him.
Jiang Youning has never heard of the Lengye Mercenary Group, but it can be seen from the current situation that this Lengye Mercenary Group has no way to deal with Qiao Ran's other forces, and...
She looked at the men in black who surrounded them. She estimated that there were more than a hundred people. Although the numbers on both sides were about the same, don't forget that Qiao Ran had to devote his attention to protecting the goods on the carriage. It is impossible to fight with all your heart. All in all, this is a battle where the result can be seen at a glance.
"I have long heard that Miss Qiao is very courageous. When I saw her today, I didn't expect that she is a good-for-nothing who only goes to grandpa when encountering problems. It is really disappointing. But don't worry, you will die tonight because of this. No one will ever find out, and your grandfather will only think it was the bandits in the surrounding area and won’t suspect us."
If they hadn't made foolproof preparations, how could they have taken action rashly.
"It's your fault, the Qiao family, for insisting on being the enemy of our Lengye mercenary group."
Hearing this, Qiao Ran looked ugly. The Lengye mercenary group had always done whatever it took to achieve their goals, especially when dealing with their enemies, but she didn't expect these people to be so rampant.
"Everyone, prepare to fight!"
The current plan is that they can only have a chance of survival by fighting desperately. Facing the Leng Ye mercenary group, Qiao Ran has no fear at all. His only regret is that he should not be so arrogant and did not deliver the birthday gift on time. They The Qiao family may face accountability from the City Lord's Palace.
"Hehehehe, little girl, today I will show you what true strength is." Feng Zheng smiled evilly, and attacked Qiao Ran with a long scimitar in his hand.
However, before he could get closer, a dozen lightning talismans flew into his face first.
In an instant, dozens of thunderbolts fell from the sky, and with a scream, Feng Zheng completely turned into a wisp of black smoke, leaving no trace of his body.
"I don't want to care about the grudges between you, but from what you just said, it seems like you want to kill everyone here."
Jiang Youning would never be soft on those who wanted to kill her. She looked at the remaining men in black with sharp eyes. With a flick of her hand, more than a dozen Sky Thunder Talisman appeared in her hand again.
Qiao Ran and others, who were originally preparing for a fight to the death, were suddenly shocked by Jiang Youning's rich and powerful hand.
Those Heavenly Thunder Talismans just now have obviously reached the master level, and such talismans are still qualified even if they are put at auction.
But Jiang Youning threw away more than a dozen of these talismans without any sign of distress.
Jiang Youning's hands kept moving, and purple lightning kept leaving from the sky. The men in black were unable to resist and could only keep dodging to avoid the attacks of the sky thunder. After all, they all suffered the same fate as Feng Zheng just now. See it in your eyes.
Unfortunately, they escaped the thunderous attack, but were killed by Qiao Ran and his men.
Until they died, they didn't understand why there was such a wealthy person in the Qiao family's caravan, and the master-level talisman was thrown away casually.
These people were all elites trained by the Lengye Mercenary Group, but in the face of such indiscriminate bombardment, they could only do nothing but run away.
