Chapter 133.
“What?”
“The scorched tail is on his body?”
“Who exactly is this young man?”
A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Jiang Ran’s words instantly caused everyone in the arena to have their jaws dropped.
Even those who were lying on the ground and hadn’t gotten up yet hurriedly discussed a couple sentences.
It was as if they were afraid that if they were late, they wouldn’t be able to keep up with current events.
Ruan Yuqing, on the other hand, stiffly turned his neck and looked at Jiang Ran:
“What are you …… babbling about?”
Jiang Ran glanced at her and sighed:
“I know why Miss Ruan is keeping this matter secret, but it’s actually quite unnecessary.
“It’s even more unreasonable to tire out the bystanders who will get killed over it.”
“You!”
Ruan Yuqing was furious: “Do you realize that this is causing trouble and asking for it!”
“So what?”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“Since I received this qin, this trouble is Mister Jiang’s, I’ve never had the habit of letting others suffer on my behalf.”
“Simply unreasonable!!!”
Ruan Yuqing was a bit furious.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran smiled again and didn’t continue to argue with her, but instead looked towards Wu Terminal in the distance:
“Why isn’t it moving?
“Want to come and get it?”
“……”
Wu Terminal hadn’t slowed down after such a long time.
He had thought that he would get a name, a place, or even a certain organization, gang, sect from Jiang Ran’s mouth ……
However, he didn’t expect that the Jiao Wei Qin was in the possession of this person in front of him.
However, he had just been punched by this man as if he were a dead dog.
At this moment, even if he knew that the Jiao Tail was on his body, what could he do?
Take it?
If you have the life to take it, you don’t have the life to use it!
Thinking of this, Wu Chen grinned:
“Good, there are talents in the rivers and mountains, each leading the way for hundreds of years!
“Your honor is young, will have such martial arts vigor …… is really let the old man ashamed.
“But I do not know, you can dare to leave your name?”
“Why don’t you dare?”
Jiang Ran smiled bashfully:
“The line does not change its name, sitting is not change its name, in the next Jiang Ran, is a knife catcher.”
“Jiang Ran!?”
“So he is Jiang Ran!”
“The Jiang Ran who made a splash at the Cangzhou Heroes’ Meeting and chopped Li Feiyun with his sword!”
“Surely young, surely good martial arts.”
“His martial arts seem to be even more powerful than the rumors. No wonder Li Feiyun, was not his opponent.”
The Three Rivers Gang disciples were once again talking.
Chang Sheng, who was lying on the wall, however, was dumbfounded.
He suddenly felt as if the matter of Jiang Ran poisoning him wasn’t so difficult to understand.
Although he didn’t feel that there was really anything wrong with the Cangzhou Heroes’ Meeting article written by Mr. Big.
Nor was he really unconvinced by Jiang Ran.
At that time, in the Golden Bottle Restaurant, the reason why he said that kind of thing was nothing more than to find an excuse to cause trouble so that he and Fang Li would not fight.
Who would have thought that Jiang Ran, who was talked about every day in this restaurant, was sitting in this restaurant?
He also loves to listen to the Heroes of Cangzhou?
Chang Sheng momentarily didn’t know what kind of expression to use to express his feelings today.
It always felt that Jiang Ran would still be looking for a score to settle afterward.
Fang Li, on the other hand, had glowing eyes.
It was rumored that this person was generous and bold, and liked to make friends, which was a good point.
He was indeed fond of making friends, preferring to make friends with heroes.
In recent times, there was no one more famous than Jiang Ran, who had made a big splash at the Heroes of Cangzhou.
However, he didn’t expect that he would really let himself come across it.
However, since the name Duan Feng was fake, then Xiao Zhu Murong Xu, was definitely not real either.
He subconsciously looked towards Li Tianxin and Luo Qingyi, and after distinguishing between the two, he gazed at Li Tianxin:
“You are Li Tianxin?”
“…… En.”
“Then you are Luo Qingyi? I heard that you were the son of the Cangzhou Prefecture Prefect back then, and that you endured humiliation for many years just to avenge this father’s murder!?”
Fang Li was like a star chaser who had chased a star and couldn’t wait to inquire.
Luo Qingyi, however, ignored him and looked at the field without blinking.
After Jiang Ran’s name was reported, it caused a shock.
Wu Terminal was also dumbfounded for a moment, then laughed out loud:
“Well well well, young warrior Jiang really lives up to his name.
“Today’s gift, I will never dare to forget, there is a meeting in the landscape, we will meet again.”
As the words fell, the strength he had saved up for so long was finally ready to be used, and with a flash of his body, he was about to fly away.
He was about to cross the wall, but as soon as he looked up, he saw a flash of golden light falling from above his head.
In a panic, he hastened to parry it.
But I do not want to, this knife seems simple, but a big difference, clearly see the knife trend towards, but the result is unexpected.
To wait to react, and then want to dodge, but it is already too late.
Snorting sound, half of the arm has been cut off by this knife.
The person also fell back to the ground from mid-air.
Jiang Ran single-handedly carried the knife and came down from the wall, casually waving the Shattered Gold Blade in his palm:
“Did I say you could leave?”
“You ……”
Wu Feng still wanted to fight back, however, without waiting for the move to be struck, his body was already flooded with a color of blood.
A sharp pain drilled through his heart, and his figure stumbled back.
“Come when you say come, leave when you say go, what kind of place do you think this Three Rivers Gang is?”
Jiang Ran said as he struck out.
Wu Feng gave a chop and retreated back and his body was dripping with blood.
Fang Yino nodded his head repeatedly, thinking that Jiang Ran’s words were very reasonable.
Wu Terminal, however, burst into a rage:
“You bully people too much!!!”
Not caring about the injuries on his body, his internal force penetrated through his remaining arm, and he was about to attack again.
However, he didn’t want to, but in front of his eyes, he seemed to see a blade mark.
Thumb!
Another soft sound, the only remaining arm, was also chopped off by Jiang Ran.
The Shattered Gold Blade, the blade was not stained with blood.
With so many knives in succession, it was also clean.
With two arms broken, Wu Terminal’s aura had finally disappeared completely.
In the end, the Shattered Gold Knife was set on his neck by Jiang Ran, and he gave a flutter and knelt down:
“Don’t …… don’t kill me, slave knows wrong!!!”
Jiang Ran didn’t pay attention to him, just pressed the hilt of the knife and casually pulled out a booklet from his pocket.
Then he started rummaging through it in front of Wu Feng.
A few moments later, he found what he was looking for.
“Wu Terminal, real name Wu Zhong, imperial court prisoner, reward thirty-nine thousand taels!
“A big fish! Finally caught another big fish.”
Jiang Ran nodded in satisfaction.
Wu Feng also said in a hurry:
“That’s right that’s right, Nuccifer is a big fish, handing Nuccifer over to the court has great potential.”
“En, that makes sense, in that case, first bring out the antidote to the Bijou poison.”
“Good good good.”
Wu Feng nodded his head in a hurry, however, he had lost both of his arms, so he really couldn’t take it out.
Then he told Jiang Ran:
“In lackey’s arms, it’s a purple bottle.”
Jiang Ran thought for a moment, retrieved the pamphlet, and took out a deerskin glove from his waist and put it on, fumbled around his body for a moment, and took out this bottle:
“This?”
“Yes, this is exactly the antidote to the Bijou poison.”
“Good.”
As the words fell, Jiang Ran crossed the Shattered Gold Blade in his hand, and a head immediately shot up into the sky!
Casually closing the blade, he caught this head.
Looking at the expression on his face, it was a mixture of the celebration of being alive in death, and also the stunned feeling of being on the verge of death for a split second.
Then he heard Jiang Ran laugh:
“Handing over to the court doesn’t say that you must be handed over alive, one head is enough.”
In fact, Wu Feng’s martial arts skills were far inferior to Shi Pingzhang.
The reason why there is a difference in the reward between the two, and still higher, is also due to a number of reasons.
Shi Pingzhang is no longer powerful, back then, the place where he committed crimes, was Li Guo not Golden Cicada.
So the court to release Pingzhang’s bounty, nothing more than just mean.
On the contrary, this Wu final ……
According to Ruan Yuqing’s statement, as well as the performance of Wu Feng just now.
This person should be a eunuch in the palace, because of the private practice of martial arts, which was the late emperor scorn, want to kill him with a cane.
As a result, he relied on a high level of martial arts, killed many of the great internal experts, and ran away, which led him to the rivers.
This was of a completely different nature.
Although Jiang Ran didn’t know how it was possible to keep this Wu Feng at large for so many years.
But the court’s hatred towards him was different from that towards Shi Pingzhang.
In terms of this reward, it was naturally higher.
With this in mind, Jiang Ran suddenly looked back and saw a fat figure that was carefully moving away.
With a slight smile, he didn’t put it on his mind and carried the head back to Ruan Yuqing and the others.
At this time, Fang Yino and the others also came over.
Cupping their fists to Jiang Ran, they said:
“Greetings, Young Warrior Jiang.”
“Gang Leader Fang doesn’t need to be polite.”
Jiang Ran smiled, “I’ve heard that the Three Rivers Gang Master is generous and bold, a man of benevolence and chivalry, and today I’ve really seen that there is no falsehood in the name, so I’m impressed.”
Fang Li and the others would be coming this way.
Hearing Jiang Ran say this, both Chang Sheng and Fang Li were a bit uncomfortable.
This person didn’t say this earlier.
He had poisoned Fang Li, and was going to use his son’s life to intimidate Fang Yino into handing over Ruan Yuqing.
But now, he’s a man of honor?
Fang Yino laughed out loud at his words:
“Young warrior Jiang, this is not the place to talk, quickly please sit inside.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Fang Li and the people around him again, and was slightly stunned:
“Li’er, when did you come back?”
Fang Li didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Jiang Ran then said with a smile:
“Truth be told, in fact, your son and I met at the Golden Bottle House, and as soon as we met, we were invited by him to come to the island as guests.
“I took the liberty of coming here without informing Master Fang, so don’t blame Master Fang.”
“How could I?”
Fang Yino said with a big smile:
“A character like Young Swordsman Jiang would not even be invited in normal times.
“Today, your footsteps on the lowly ground has made my Three Rivers Gang’s presence shine, this son of mine, who has always been reckless in his normal life, has done a good deed this time.
“Come, Young Warrior Jiang, Mistress Ruan, please!”
Jiang Ran glanced at Ruan Yuqing and realized that her face was still frozen, so he smiled:
“Let’s go.”
“You’re not worried at all?”
Ruan Yuqing frowned.
Jiang Ran publicly admitted today that the Jiao Tail Qin was in his possession, this simple matter is not trivial, how can he look as if he is not concerned at all.
“There’s nothing to worry about, it’s just a matter of soldiers coming to the defense and water coming to the earth to cover it.”
“…… you say is easy.”
Ruan Yuqing sighed and looked around, “How come I don’t see Ye Shocking Frost?”
“She had some things to do and went back to the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect first.”
“So that’s how it is.”
Ruan Yuqing hummed:
“It would have been good if she was there, at least she would have been able to persuade you.”
In the middle of talking, the crowd had already entered the lobby of the Three Rivers Gang under the guidance of Fang Yino.
After the guests and hosts were seated, they saw a person come to Fang Yino’s side and whispered a few words.
Fang Yino nodded slightly and said to Jiang Ran:
“Don’t worry, young warrior Jiang, I have already instructed, the matter of the Jiao Tail Qin in your hands, my Three Rivers Gang disciples will definitely keep their mouths shut and will not disclose half a word.”
Jiang Ran smiled at his words:
“Thank you, Gang Master Fang, but I don’t intend to conceal it.”
“This ……”
Fang Yino frowned slightly:
“The matter of Jiao Tail is important …… truthfully, it’s embarrassing to say.
“Even if it’s me, the moment I heard about the Jiao Tail just now, some greed was born in my heart.
“If it is known, Jiang young warrior is only afraid that there will be no more peace ah.”
“If I have peace, it’s hard to say about others.”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“There has to be an explanation for the ownership of the Jiao Tail.
“I got this qin in name only …… This qin was originally owned by the Red Maple Leaf family, and afterward ……”
He told the matter so and so.
It was only then that Fang Yino and the others realized that Jiang Ran had even dealt with Shi Pingzhang earlier, together with people from the five major sword sects.
And had taken down this ‘Heart Demon’ who was so notorious back then.
When he looked at Jiang Ran again, he felt even more different.
While Jiang Ran continued:
“Although I don’t know exactly how this matter came to be known.
“However, since someone has already taken action against all of you from the Water Moon Sword Sect, I think it’s because the Red Maple Villa’s side of the story has already been used to make an article out of it.
“That’s why someone has approached them.
“Moreover, it’s not just the Water Moon Sword Sect, I’m afraid that Liuyun, Yunshan, Qingsong, and Danyang will all be targeted.
“If this matter is kept under wraps any longer, it’s not unlikely that a lot of disciples from the five major sword sects will die or be injured as a result.
“We can’t involve the Five Great Sword Factions for the sake of Mister Jiang alone.”
“Outrageous!”
Ruan Yuqing couldn’t help but look at Jiang Ran angrily:
“Do you think that my five great sword factions are easy to bully?
“You’ve been kind to all five of our sects, so what’s it worth if we do something for you?”
“Naturally, you guys aren’t easy to bully.”
Jiang Ran smiled, “But you always have to think about the disciples under your door ……
“Moreover, besides these people who covet Jiao Tail, those who are secretly planning this matter also have to be guarded against.”
Ruan Yuqing frowned:
“Then what are you going to do?”
Jiang Ran pondered a little and smiled:
“My trip is intended to head to the Jinyang Prefecture, and there are quite a few good places along the way.
“I heard that there is a Three Immortal Mountain by the Evergreen Prefecture.
“On the Three Immortals Mountain, there is a Sunset Ping, which is the best view on earth.”
As he said this, he glanced at Fang Yino:
“Jiang Mou has a matter that I would like to ask for help from Master Fang.”
“Young warrior Jiang please just command.”
Fang Yino immediately spoke with a straight face.
Jiang Ran said:
“I would like to ask Help Master Fang to help me send out a message, saying that …… I will hold a ‘Tea Tasting and Qin Appreciation Conference’ on this Sunset Ping.
“Invite the elegant guests from all directions to come and enjoy the scorched tails together.
“There will be no need for invitations, and all who come will be eligible to participate.
“The time …… will be set one month later.
“October 8th!”
According to the itinerary, a month was more than enough time to arrive at Sunset Ping from here.
The reason why it was set like this was also to leave time to deal with unexpected accidents.
Fang Yino glanced at Ruan Yuqing.
Both of them understood that Jiang Ran was doing this because he wanted to give the Jianghu people a chance.
A chance to get the Jiao Tail.
The Jiao Tail had no owner, and it had fallen into the hands of the Red Maple Ye family many years ago, and it was the property of the Ye family.
Ye Konggu is dead, Ye Qingshuang gave this burnt-tailed qin to Jiang Ran, which is the rightful name.
All other people who want to seize the burnt tail, have to go behind the scenes, secretly seek to seize.
Jiang Ran held this tea tasting and qin appreciation conference, it is to let these people have a chance to have the same name.
Can get this thing openly, who also do not want to sneak to get, but also dare not show people.
In this way, the number of people who secretly seek to obtain this qin will be reduced by a large number.
At the same time, the five major sword sects would no longer be harassed by this matter, avoiding the deaths and injuries of their disciples.
Moreover, if Jiang Ran’s skills were superior to the others, he would be able to take over the qin in a dignified manner, and would not be coveted by anyone else.
In the end, Jiang Ran put it all out in the open.
Even if he couldn’t win the competition and had the Jiao Wei taken away, at least he himself wouldn’t be damaged.
It was nothing more than losing a zither, not to the point of injuring his life.
This was indeed a one-two punch.
Only, the danger was equally present.
Since there were those who wanted to obtain this qin openly, there were bound to be those who did not want to announce it to the public.
These people would definitely try their best to make a move against Jiang Ran before the eighth day of the tenth month.
Even after that, they might also try to find ways to obtain this qin.
However, these people are not easy to get rid of …… it has nothing to do with whether or not this Tea Tasting and Qin Appreciation Conference will be held.
This is also the price that Jiang Ran will inevitably have to pay for obtaining this qin.
Fang Yino looked at Jiang Ran’s firm attitude and nodded:
“Good, this news will certainly be spread by the Three Rivers Gang with all their might.”
“Many thanks.”
Jiang Ran nodded, what Fang Yino and Ruan Yuqing didn’t know was.
This matter had another benefit for him.
Most of these secretly unseen ones were problematic.
They might not necessarily be the ones who were on the list on the sea arrest paperwork, but it was highly likely that they would be on the Sword Execution Division’s wanted list.
Before the eighth day of October, most of these people might jump out and crash into Jiang Ran’s blade.
Thus, they would become Jiang Ran’s life-supporting great dan!
That was basically the end of the business, followed by small talk.
Fang Yino warmly invited Jiang Ran and the others to stay at the Three Rivers Gang for a few days.
Jiang Ran excused himself for a while and finally decided to stay for a night.
Fang Yino was overjoyed and immediately had the dinner prepared.
Afterward, he asked Fang Li to lead Jiang Ran and the others to the guest room.
Jiang Ran let Li Tianxin and Luo Qingyi follow him first, but he didn’t rush to the guest room, instead, he joined Ruan Yuqing and came to her place.
When they entered the courtyard, they saw a group of Water Moon Sword Sect disciples, all waiting here.
Earlier, they had heard the people of the Three Rivers Gang say that Jiang Ran had come to the Three Rivers Gang.
Now that they saw it, they were all very happy, except that they all had injuries and looked quite miserable.
After Jiang Ran greeted them, he followed behind Ruan Yuqing and entered her room.
He took out the purple medicine bottle from his pocket, but was in no hurry to give it to her.
Instead, he said to Ruan Yuqing:
“Stretch out your hand.”
