"Young Master Kuai, what do you want?" Deng Tian wasn't a fool. On the contrary, he was an intelligent person. The destruction of his family had made Deng Tian's character even more determined. There was no free lunch in this world, and no one would be so kind as to give you a chance to be apprenticed to a master. Even if Kuai Ran was an idiot, as long as he was the eldest young master of the Kuai Family, he would be a great teacher. Being a disciple of Kuai Ran was equivalent to being a disciple of the Kuai Family. With the Kuai Family's status in Jingzhou, it wouldn't be a problem for them to become an official. His Deng Family might be able to enter the ranks of the aristocratic families once again.
But why would Kuai Ran give Deng Tian such a huge piece of cake? Was it because of their past friendship? Yes! They used to drink and chat and were friends. However, it wasn't to this extent. Although the Deng Family was destroyed, the enmity between the Deng Family and the Huang Family hadn't been resolved. The Huang Family dared to spare the Deng Family because Huang Zu pleaded for them. However, it was also because the Lord of Jingzhou wanted to keep the Deng Family in check. There was no room for reconciliation between the two families.
Kuai Ran had to be prepared to offend the Cai Family if he accepted Deng Tian's son as his disciple.
"I don't want anything! I'm just doing what I was asked to do! " Kuai Ran said to Deng Tian. He knew that this would offend the Cai Family but he couldn't refuse the person in the carriage.
"You were asked to do this?" Deng Tian looked at Kuai Ran in confusion.
"Yes!" Kuai Ran nodded.
"Can you tell me who it was?" Deng Tian thought about it, but she couldn't think of any old trade fair that could make the eldest son of the Si family step forward and offend the Cai family to accept her son.
"Brother Kainan, you will know when the time comes!" Kuai Ran said to Deng Tian. Liu Mang didn't want to reveal his identity.
"You can't tell me? In that case, I'm sorry, Young Master Kuai Ran. Thank you for your favor. My son's aptitude is weak and he isn't blessed enough to study under Young Master Kuai Ran! "When Kuai Ran didn't mention the person who had entrusted him, Kuai Ran rejected without hesitation.
"Brother Kainan?!" Kuai Ran didn't think that Deng Tian would reject him so quickly. Becoming Kuai Ran's disciple was a path to success. It could be said that once Deng Tian became Kuai Ran's disciple, she would have one foot in the door. As long as she wasn't an idiot, she would be able to be recommended by Kuai Ran.
"Deng Tian is unwilling?!" Liu Mang frowned. He was determined to get Deng Fan. If he couldn't get him, Liu Mang wouldn't allow others to get him.
However, Liu Mang didn't give up. Deng Tian was unwilling now, but it didn't mean that he wouldn't be willing in the future.
The reason why Deng Tian wasn't willing was because he didn't want to be involved in the schemes of the aristocratic families. It was clear that Deng Tian saw Kuai Ran's decision to accept his son as a disciple as a game between the aristocratic families. It was good to have a career, but one had to be alive. Deng Tian just wanted his family to be safe for the rest of their lives. He couldn't bear the thought of his family leaving him.
"Since Young Master Kuai Ran is here, there is no need for you to come with us to the Huang Family. Young Master Kuai Ran, please allow us to search the area! " Deng Tian didn't need to pretend to be a soldier of Xiangyang City. They were here to look for someone, not to offend someone.
"There is no need to search!" While Deng Tianhao and Kuai Ran were talking, Liu Mang also came out of the carriage. "Are you looking for a barbarian?"
"This is?" Deng Tian saw Liu Mang and Kuai Ran coming out of the same carriage and thought that they were from another aristocratic family. However, Deng Tian had never seen them before.
"Brother Wang!" Kuai Ran introduced Liu Mang to Deng Tian. "Brother Kainan, this is King Of Shu. He is currently a student of the Lumen Academy!"
"A student of the Lumen Academy?" The students of the Lumen Academy were very popular in Jingzhou.
"Young Master Wang, what do you mean?"
"If you are looking for a barbarian with a woman on his back, then we have met before!" Liu Mang didn't bother to explain.
Kuai Ran looked at Liu Mang doubtfully. If Liu Mang wanted to hand over the barbarian, he could have just done so. There was no need to wait for so long. He should be trying to cover it up. With Kuai Ran around, Deng Tian wouldn't dare to do anything. As long as Kuai Ran didn't admit anything, Deng Tian wouldn't dare to do anything.
Kuai Ran did not know what Liu Mang was thinking. The smell of blood was too strong and could not be concealed. If Deng Tian was forced into a corner, it would not be good. Moreover, Liu Mang did not want to become enemies with Deng Tian.
"Yes, yes, it is that barbarian! Where is he now? "Deng Tian asked, but her eyes were scanning the other carriage.
Deng Tian's nose was very sharp. She was able to lock onto that carriage.
It was impossible to hand over the barbarian. If Liu Mang wanted to hand him over, he would have done so long ago. There was no need for him to speak to Deng Tian.
"He has already left. He stole one of our carriages and left!" Liu Mang was lying through his teeth. Although Liu Mang did not have a lot of people, he had four third-rate generals and Liu Mang who was at the peak of the second-rate. Let alone the barbarian, even a refinement stage expert would not be able to do anything to him.
"That bloody smell!" Deng Tian furrowed her brows. Deng Tian believed that the barbarian had fought with them because she saw the blood stains on the swords of the two guards beside Jia Xu. However, Deng Tian didn't believe that the barbarian had left.
"I don't know who that barbarian was, but he was very skilled in martial arts. Not only did he steal one of our carriages, but he also injured me under the protection of our guards!" Liu Mang showed the wound on his shoulder to Deng Tian.
Although the wound didn't hurt his vitals, it was still bleeding.
Deng Tian didn't give up after seeing the blood. "That carriage!" His target was very clear. It was that carriage.
"Hmm?!" Liu Mang really underestimated this Deng Tian. Her goal is clear and she went straight to the point.
"Young Master Kuai Ran and Young Master Wang, please let us check the carriage. This way, we can report back!" Without waiting for Liu Mang and the others to agree, Deng Tian waved her hand and several of the Huang Family's private soldiers went toward the carriage.
The two guards beside Jia Xu wanted to stop the soldiers, but they were blocked by Deng Tian. After all, there were so many of them that the two guards couldn't break free. However, if Liu Mang didn't say anything, they wouldn't dare to make a move.
"Brother Wang!" Kuai Ran whispered to Liu Mang. Wasn't that the carriage where they left the barbarian? "Deng Tian, you've gone too far!" Kuai Ran wanted to stop them. If they found out that the barbarian was in their carriage, it would be a slap in the face.
However, how could Kuai Ran do it alone? Liu Mang patted Kuai Ran's shoulder.
"Leader, there's someone!" The curtains of the carriage were quickly lifted, and a pungent smell of blood assaulted their nostrils. A figure covered in blood was lying in the carriage.
"Young Master Kuai Ran? I've offended you! Young Master Kuai Ran, please come with me to explain! " Deng Tian didn't allow Kuai Ran to speak. If it was just the Huang Family, there was no need to offend them. This was also related to the brothel. Although Deng Tian didn't dare to do anything to Kuai Ran, he still needed Kuai Ran to explain.
"Let's see who dares!" Liu Mang finally spoke. As soon as Liu Mang spoke, the three guards beside Jia Xu pulled out their swords. When Deng Tian saw this, his soldiers also pulled out their swords. The entire scene became domineering.
"Leader, no, no!" Just as the two sides were about to fight, a voice came from the other side.
"What happened? Cough, cough, cough!" A person covered in blood struggled to get out of the carriage. This person was very tall and sturdy, and his body was covered in blood. However, this person wasn't the barbarian that Ye Xiwen had seen earlier.
"Hm?" Deng Tian was stunned. Kuai Ran was also in disbelief. Only Liu Mang and Jia Xu were indifferent.
"Brother Wang, what happened?" Kuai Ran asked softly. This person was one of Jia Xu's four injured subordinates.
Liu Mang didn't immediately reply to Kuai Ran. Instead, he patted Kuai Ran's shoulder and calmed him down. "Brother Deng Tian! I've already said that we've met this barbarian before. Not only did he steal our carriage, he also injured me. Similarly, my guards risked their lives to save us and were also injured. That's why they were arranged to enter the carriage! " Liu Mang's calmness came from Jia Xu. When Liu Mang saw this old fox's calmness, he naturally knew that this old fox had arranged everything. These three carriages were all carriages of the brothel. Thanks to these three carriages, the brothel really helped its customers in every aspect. The carriages had a compartment that could hide people. It was prepared for those who had tigress at home. Once the tigress blocked the carriage, the girls could hide in the compartment. Although the barbarian was much bigger than the girls and it would be very uncomfortable for him to be forced into the compartment, the barbarian didn't care about this since he had already fainted. .
Earlier, when Deng Tian was stalling for time, Jia Xu was also stalling for time. That was why this scene was happening.
Jia Xu was really good at training people. Liu Mang clearly saw that the injured guard didn't have so many wounds. Most of the wounds were sword wounds. The barbarian used a steel fork, so the wounds were naturally caused by his own sword.
"Is that so?" Deng Tian didn't believe it. The smell of blood was too strong. There was definitely more than one person who had bled.
"Cough cough!" While Liu Mang and the others were discussing, a cough came from the carriage.
"What's that sound?" Deng Tian's ears were very sharp. He immediately heard it.
"Cough cough cough cough cough!" The injured guard at the side coughed as well, but Deng Tian could tell that something was wrong. The sound just now was even lower, as if something was blocking the sound. "Is there a barrier?!" Deng Tian thought for a moment and wanted to go forward to check it personally.
"Hm?" Jia Xu forgot that he should have sealed the barbarian's mouth.
Just as Deng Tian was about to go over and check personally, a private soldier rode over from another direction. "Leader, Leader, we've caught up, we've caught up, we've caught up!!"
"Have you caught up?" Deng Tian asked.
"Yes, he is in the inner city!"
"Let's go!" Since they had already found the person, Now that they had found the person, Deng Tian naturally didn't want to offend Kuai Ran and went forward to check the carriage again.
"Young Master Kuai Ran, Young Master Wang, please forgive me for offending you earlier!" Deng Tian cupped his fist and got on his horse.
"Hmph!" Kuai Ran snorted. Deng Tian's lack of respect made Kuai Ran angry. On the other hand, Liu Mang smiled and said to Deng Tian, "Brother Deng Tian, I won't be sending you off!"
"Deng Tian, I won't change my words. If you have thought it through, you can let your son come and ask me to be his disciple! I am only doing this because I was entrusted by someone! " Although Kuai Ran was a little unwilling, he still said this to Deng Tian under Liu Mang's urging.
"Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Kuai Ran!" Deng Tian waved his hand. He didn't want to be involved in the schemes of the Century Family.
