In the world, some things, sometimes, can be so coincidental that everyone finds it unbelievable.

The members of Ran's caravan experienced what it was like to be dumbfounded again and again throughout the day.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was getting faster and faster. The chaotic army below smashed themselves in this rain, and finally all the members collapsed and disappeared.

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

The prisoner who was dragged by Xiao Wu was so panicked that he didn't know whether he should be grateful for being captured.

On the Ran's caravan side, everyone's morale was high, and Uncle Ming couldn't help but shouted: "Brothers, God is helping us, our ancestors are protecting us!"

Everyone in the caravan immediately cheered: "God help us! Our ancestors protect us!"

With such a high morale, even if it was raining and the mountain road was even more difficult, the people in the caravan led the horses and carts, braving the rain, but unexpectedly walked out with an aura of wind blowing under their feet.

They went down the mountain with difficulty and strength in the rain.

The oilcloth covered the carriages tightly, and the people and horses were all drenched in the rain, but the supplies in the carriages were not wet at all.

Meanwhile, Cheng Ling didn't let Xiao Wu lead the horse again.

She asked Xiao Wu to help the others stabilize the carriage, and she also got off the horse herself, seeing who was about to slip, she hurried over to help.

Sometimes I help cars, sometimes I help people.

Her speed is very fast, her body is agile and light, and her strength is still very strong. It can be said that she is far superior to ordinary men, and many guards are also inferior to her.

In this case, Cheng Ling was of great help to the caravan.

When it finally went down the mountain, the rain just stopped.

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

Cheng Ling said: "We can't stop, we'll go back to the city at night and clean up after we go back."

As for resting in place, now that there is mud everywhere, what can be done by resting?

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

In the caravan, at this time, someone Cheng Ling smiled foolishly.

Sweat and rain were mixed on them, and the way they looked at Cheng Ling changed from awe and alienation before to the kindness and liking they are now.

Uncle Ming saw this natural change, but he actually felt emotional in his heart.

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

When Cheng Ling helped the people in the caravan to help the car on their way just now, in fact, she not only gained the favor of everyone, she also gained a lot of information from the conversation with everyone.

For example, although some of these people in the caravan were recruited by the Ran family from the outside, such as Xiao Wu, more than half of the ordinary guards, and some rough porters, coolies, etc.

But other people who occupy important positions in the caravan, such as the leader of the guard, such as Uncle Ming, such as the accountant responsible for calculating the caravan's income and expenses, are all Ran's family servants.

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

Their parents, wives and children, brothers, friends, and it can even be said that all people with close relationships basically depend on Ran for a living. They are the green leaves, vines, and even insects attached to Ran's big tree, and they live together with Ran's, and they all prosper.

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

Household slaves like this are probably one of the reasons why the aristocratic family is different from ordinary nouveau riche.

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

Cheng Ling remembered these relationships silently, and felt that the rules of this world were getting clearer.

In the middle of the night, when the stars 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 gate and questioned them severely.

Uncle Ming took out Ran's order letter and guide, and quietly shook hands with the city guard, stuffed the wallet with money, and explained the situation: "The road is not smooth, and we have no choice but to travel overnight. Only When we arrive in Chixia City, I can rest assured, little old man."

The face of the city guard softened, and his tone became more polite, but he still said: "It's not that you are unaccommodating, but the lower officials really don't have the right to open the city gate in the middle of the night. No one dares to come, unless it is a relative of the lord." to."

He also said: "Brother, you can wait at the gate of the city with the caravan. When the time comes and the gate opens, you can go in."

Naturally, Uncle Ming couldn't force it, not only couldn't he ask for it, but he even wanted to thank him again and again.

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

Xiao Wu didn't dare to raise his voice for fear of alarming others, so he hurriedly asked Cheng Ling in a low voice, "You're leaving just like that? Why don't you explain to Ran Wenji face to face, in case he takes your credit and doesn't turn around and don't give up the agreed benefits?" What can I do for you?"

Cheng Ling laughed when she heard that, she stretched out her hand to pat Xiao Wu's shoulder, and replied softly: "He dare not."

After finishing 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 at the same time disappeared from the sight of Xiao Wu and the others. Leaving Xiao Wu bared his teeth on the spot, he touched his shoulder that Cheng Ling had patted.

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

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

Is there really no loose area in Chixia City's walls?

Impossible without.

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

On the contrary, some patrolling soldiers just passed by here, and Cheng Ling waited patiently under this section of the city wall. After the group of soldiers had completely gone away and could no longer see their traces, he took out the grapple and flew his claws upwards. Get ready to climb up the wall with your strength.

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

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

Now that she was able to go up the wall, it was not difficult to go down the wall.

Cheng Ling didn't even need to use the grapple this time. After she jumped down, her body rolled in mid-air, and her toes lightly stepped on the city wall to relieve the pressure, but she landed lightly in a moment.

So far, no city guards have been alarmed.

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

This is completely a subconscious habit. Although Mu Sanniang and others are not in Cheng Zhai, Cheng Ling habitually wants to go back and have a look.

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

A familiar warning sign suddenly appeared!
