Chapter 256.

Within the guest room of the inn, there was no fire.

The visitor also did not startle anyone, as he carefully waited quietly outside the window.

It was only until the window opened that he flew inside, clasping his fists and arching his hands:

“Greetings, Your Excellency.”

Jiang Ran, who was lying on the bed, rolled over and sat up, and after yawning, he fumbled around the bed and took out a fire folding, drew it out and blew on it, lighting an oil lamp.

The darkness receded like a tidal wave.

Only then did Jiang Ran look at the visitor.

The person who came was Wang Zhao.

Wang Zhao was still dressed in black, standing to the side with a respectful attitude.

Jiang Ran’s gaze glanced at him and then withdrew:

“You feel that this opportunity is not good?”

His words were somewhat inexplicable.

Wang Zhao’s heart, however, jumped, and subconsciously raised his head and swept Jiang Ran, but did not see his face.

He had his back to the light and was looking down at his fingertips, his fingertips rubbing together, but he didn’t know what he was thinking about.

This made Wang Zhao’s heart even more a little weak:

“What does the eunuch …… mean by this?”

“There is no one else here.”

Jiang Ran smiled:

“Your Holy Maiden and I don’t sleep under the same blanket, so don’t worry about being heard by her.

“How about we just say something from the bottom of our hearts?

“En, when are you planning to kill me?”

At these words, Wang Zhao snapped his head up, the stern color in his eyes no longer hidden.

However, after staring at Jiang Ran for a few moments, he sighed dismally:

“How did Your Excellency know?”

“You’re so close to writing the words ‘I want to kill you’, on your face.”

Jiang Ran laughed dumbly:

“I’m not a fool, how could I not see it?”

Even a smart person might not be able to see it, right?

Wang Zhao asked himself that he had hidden this bit of his mind very well, but he didn’t understand how exactly Jiang Ran had discovered it.

If he had to say it, he either had the ability to see through people’s hearts.

Either that, or he was good at reading people’s words and colors, and could find clues from the tiny changes on other people’s faces.

What made him feel fortunate today was that although Jiang Ran had read his mind, he hadn’t said anything to the Holy Maiden.

And by bringing this matter straight to the surface today, he had also given himself a chance.

After all, he hadn’t yet done anything, he had only moved his heart.

Everything had not yet progressed to an irreparable situation.

Thus, he hesitated before saying:

“Since Your Excellency is aware of this, don’t you want to kill me in order to end the future?”

“Then let’s first see what kind of result we can get from this conversation between you and me tonight.”

Jiang Ran laughed:

“You bring me something first.”

“Yes.”

Wang Zhao was about to reach into his pocket, however, his hand slightly lurched, and finally gritted his teeth and took the thing out to Jiang Ran:

“Your Excellency wait a moment.”

After saying that, he opened the envelope and found a teacup to pour out the powder inside.

Jiang Ran looked at him sideways and didn’t feel surprised, just smiling.

The more he smiled, the more embarrassed Wang Zhao became, hating that he couldn’t find a crack in the ground.

Finally, he took out another bottle from his pocket, poured out the powder and wiped it on the letter paper before handing it over to Jiang Ran:

“The poison on it has been removed …… Your Excellency can rest assured.”

“Forget it, read it to me.”

Jiang Ran closed his eyes.

Wang Zhao was momentarily unsure whether he was assured or not?

Why would he let himself read if he was at ease?

If he wasn’t, why would he close his eyes?

In the end, he could only open the letter paper and read according to the words on it:

“The twelfth day of the waxing moon, the willow courtyard withered well, a quarter of an hour, waiting for the upper peak.”

Jiang Ran tapped his finger and smiled faintly:

“Good, destroy it.”

“Yes.”

Wang Zhao originally wanted to take the letter paper and light it on fire, however, after meeting Jiang Ran’s eyes, he quietly withdrew his hand and balled up the letter paper in his palm, and with a push of his inner strength, the paper suddenly turned into pieces.

At this point, Wang Zhao even understand.

Tonight, if things are not clear, there is no end, then their own fate, most likely and this letter is no difference.

Just peeking at Jiang Ran, he realized that he was sitting there with one hand propped up on his chin, not knowing what he was thinking about.

He was so absorbed in his thoughts that it seemed as if everything around him had been left behind.

Wasn’t this the best opportunity?

This thought suddenly surfaced in Wang Zhao’s mind, and he hesitated for a moment.

He did not know, Jiang Ran in the end is really God outside, or is …… he just creating an opportunity for himself to kill him?

Thus, so that he could find a suitable reason for the matter of beating himself to death?

Therefore, after hesitating, he still didn’t dare to move.

Just then, he heard Jiang Ran spit out a breath:

“These past few days, you have been guarding there, have you encountered anything?”

“Not yet.”

Wang Zhao said softly:

“It has always been calm.”

“The situation is not quite right.”

Jiang Ran said softly:

“That place, perhaps it has been abandoned by the Heavenly Que… This letter, it may not be another invitation.”

Wang Zhao froze:

“Your Excellency is saying that ……”

Jiang Ran pinched his brow and said:

“Heavenly Que is tightly organized, and the possibility that Fu Yu Sheng is always within their vision cannot be ruled out.

“Although Shui Sanniang is one of the Blue Sect’s members responsible for delivering the message, who’s to say that she’s the only one who can deliver this message?

“There might even be some joints in there that we don’t know about, thus exposing us.

“And this letter, and in the Fu Yu Sheng death, after these two or three days of time, only sent to that one …… you say that these days there is calm, this is some not quite the right flavor.

“But this letter is so critical ……

“If you say that it is not Heavenly Que separate means, want to invite the king into the jar, then I do not believe it.”

Wang Zhao’s sweat came down as he listened:

“Heavenly Que actually calculated to this extent?”

“Are you trying to say that I’m scaring myself?”

Jiang Ran looked at him with a smile.

Wang Zhao hurriedly bowed his head:

“My subordinate wouldn’t dare.”

But after pondering for a moment, he added:

“However, Your Excellency’s martial arts skills are world-class, even if Heavenly Que had set up a heavenly net, it would only be a self-imposed leak.”

“You’re wrong.”

Jiang Ran gently shook his head:

“In this jianghu, in order to kill someone, there are times when you don’t even need to strike out on your own.

“Let’s put it this way, suppose Zhang San wants me dead, he doesn’t kill me, but goes and kills Li Si.

“And I want to investigate Zhang San, but I don’t have many clues.

“When Zhang San sees this he gives me a clue that leads me to Li Si’s body.

“When the time came to make a big announcement, who would give me a chance to explain?

“Especially Li Si’s friends and family, but if they make a move to kill me, how can I stand still?

“At that time under the hand no light weight, and then hurt people, or even kill people ……

“Then this thing of mine will also sit down.

“At that time all people want to kill me, it will be like, that devil away from the strange old man.”

Wang Zhao listened to the dizziness:

“This …… all say that our demonic religion is demonic, but the mind of this group of people is comparable to a ghost.”

Jiang Ran smiled again at his words, letting a master like Wang Zhao, who couldn’t hide anything on his face, to understand these twisted and complicated minds, it was indeed a bit difficult for him:

“What I’ve said to you are the simplest ones.

“You’ve been in the jianghu for a lifetime, you should have killed a lot of people under your hands, but you don’t know how many of them you really want to kill, and how many of them are being utilized by others, and become the knife in the palm of other people’s hands.”

“Ah?”

Wang Zhao subconsciously wanted to retort that the people he killed with his own hands were naturally the ones he wanted to kill.

But when he looked at Jiang Ran, he didn’t know why he couldn’t say this.

“However, since we’ve been given a clear location, it’s time to go and take a look, or we have to go and take a look.”

Jiang Ran laughed, “Just in time to figure out what conspiracy they are planning.”

“Then …… then isn’t your son afraid of being caught in a treacherous plan?”

Wang Zhao asked.

Jiang Ran smiled:

“The mountain man has his own plan, you don’t need to worry about it.”

Wang Zhao nodded, then felt wrong, he still wanted to kill him, why should he worry about him?

As this thought came together, he heard Jiang Ran ask again:

“Why do you want to kill me?”

“……”

Wang Zhao pondered for a long time, knowing that with his own brain, no matter what he thought most likely couldn’t hide it.

Solely broke the pot:

“Because …… subordinate is not willing to let the Holy Maiden walk the old path of the First Holy Maiden.”

“First Holy Maiden.”

Jiang Ran pondered:

“What you’re talking about, should be the matter of the First Holy Maiden and the Amazing God’s Nine Blades heir of that year, right?”

“That’s right!”

Wang Zhao immediately nodded:

“My subordinate is old, and I once saw with my own eyes how the former Holy Maiden suffered for love.

“If it wasn’t for this matter then the prior Demon Sovereign might not have been that extreme.”

“……”

Jiang Ran suddenly felt that this story seemed like a good idea not to listen to it, and it was bound to be filled with a lot of dog blood!

But at this time, it was too late to stop it.

Wang Zhao opened the box, rambling on the past events of the year said again.

These things, in fact, Jiang Ran asked Xianglin when, on hearing the Demon Sect Master said once.

Just that old man bad to death, said not exhaustive untrue, but also delete delete delete.

In fact, at the time of the devil religion saint and suspected of their own master of the broken Dongliu between, can be far from the imagination of that simple.

Two people share the same life and death, through many trials and tribulations.

In the end, there is no saint adore chivalry, chivalry turned his back on the bridge, in fact, the two people once truly love each other.

But in the end in the end is the magic religion can not tolerate this amazing God nine knife, each other’s ideas are also in conflict.

This is to fall apart.

In this, the most critical character, but the first demon father.

His heart is in love with the holy woman, but love but can not.

In the middle also did a lot of things, want to restore, but the results are not as expected.

In the end, because of various reasons such as the Holy Maiden’s philosophy, and Broken Dongliu fell apart, and only then was he able to embrace the beauty.

Just according to Wang Zhao’s statement, the holy woman or broken Dongliu also, to each other have not forgotten love.

Also for this reason, the first demonic father has always wanted to make a thing, so that the holy maiden to him a high regard.

Then he went to the extreme …… to provoke the five countries to chaos, and landed a chicken and egg end.

“It’s a good thing that before the Holy Maiden died, she once had an heir to pass on.

“Just where this person is, the subordinate does not know.”

He also confessed:

“Earlier, when I saw Your Excellency and the Holy Maiden together, I only thought that you were the Shao Zun.

“But I didn’t expect to recognize the wrong person.

“If you are Young Zun, all of this is naturally logical. But if you are not …… subordinate how would I dare to let the events of that year repeat themselves?

“The word love is the most harmful.

“Let me good end a magic sect, once again fragmented, really hateful to the extreme!”

Jiang Ran lowered his head and pressed his temples.

A lot of things could not be hidden from him as these words entered his ears.

Broken Dongliu was drunk, there was no reason to run to the middle of nowhere, braving the snow and wind to find a child.

But if this child was in fact his old lover’s only heir, this matter would also make sense.

Just like this, it seems that his own cheap old man, more or less a bit flabbergasted ah.

Seeing Jiang Ran’s silence, Wang Zhao also didn’t dare to speak.

For some reason, he realized that he was a bit afraid of Jiang Ran.

The last time they met, Jiang Ran was accompanied by Tang Yuyi, and he hadn’t felt anything.

This time, he was clearly alone with Jiang Ran, and the pressure not only didn’t slow down because the Holy Maiden wasn’t there, but on the contrary, it became heavier and heavier.

What’s more, it even gave him a feeling of facing the demonic father directly.

This is strange and weird …… calling people unknown.

Only after a long time did Jiang Ran raise his head and spit out a breath.

He glanced at Wang Zhao and gently shook his head:

“Let’s put this matter down for now, kill me this matter, you also don’t want to count on it.

“You can’t do it ……”

Wang Zhao’s heart was unconvinced, but he didn’t dare to be unconvinced, he could only droop his head and not say anything.

Jiang Ran laughed again:

“As for what you’re worried about, I reckon that most of it won’t happen.

“This matter will wait until after the trip to the Jinyang Mansion, and there should be a result.”

“Your Excellency is serious about this!?”

Wang Zhao looked up.

Jiang Ran waved his hand:

“Don’t get excited for no reason, even if there’s no result, if you dare to kill me, I’ll still slap you to death.”

“…… Yes.”

Wang Zhao drooped his head down again.

“Alright, you go first. The Asking Heart Zhai is not only your lineage, there are other people from the demonic religion who have also arrived at the Jin Yang Province, whether they are enemies or friends is still hard to say.

“You guys wait for me at the Jin Yang Mansion first, if something happens, I will summon you.”

Jiang Ran waved his hand again.

Wang Zhao bowed:

“Subordinate obeys …… subordinate farewell.”

After he finished speaking, he didn’t linger any longer, coming to the window and tumbling out, disappearing in the twinkling of an eye.

Only Jiang Ran was left sitting alone in the room, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, he sighed:

“This shit ……”

There were no more words on this night, and on the second day, Jiang Ran began to pack up his things and set off for the Jinyang Mansion.

And from here to the Jinyang Mansion, there is only a mere three days away.

……

……

Three days passed by in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, the Jinyang Mansion was already right in front of us.

This was the largest city on the Golden Cicada border.

The people’s traffic is mixed and varied, therefore, although Jiang Ran and others have come to the city early in the morning, but look at this situation, a moment and a half will not be able to enter the city.

Before the city gate, people were crowded, and the queue was lined up to who knows where.

Jiang Ran and other people have nothing to do, let Li Tianyu driving a carriage there waiting to enter the city.

Their own line of people in the city to find a tea shop temporarily drink tea.

This city gate before the tea shop is very much ……

Obviously also counted on too many merchants to and fro, it is impossible for the shopkeeper to follow along with the queue, basically let the people under the hands to line up, and so on almost the time they then go over is.

Then this period of time, drink some tea, eat some snacks, cool wind how are good, just need a resting place.

Therefore, opening a tea house here is even more profitable than opening a teahouse in the city.

Jiang Ran’s group was quite large.

In addition to himself and Tang Wuyi, Li Tianyu, Ke Beisheng, Tian Miaomiao and Ye Jingxue, the monks from the Blazing Blade Sect, the Thousand Jun Academy, the Nine Truths Concepts, the Chongshan Sect and the Luo Hua Temple were all there as well.

A bunch of people swarmed, and finally came to a tea shop a little farther away, before there were tables that could accommodate all of them.

The people sat down and just ordered a pot of tea.

Jiang Ran then heard one person lament:

“What a majestic city, the weather is magnificent.”

Jiang Ran sniffed and went to look, and saw a handsome-faced white-robed young man, holding a folding fan in his hand, looking at the not-too-distant Jin Yang Mansion and emoting.

If it was an ordinary person, Jiang Ran would most likely just sweep it away.

But this person, after Jiang Ran glanced at him, he did not move his gaze away.

Instead, he looked at the several people behind him.

This person didn’t come alone, there were quite a few people around him, more than a dozen.

At the head of these people was an old man, only half a step away from the young man, and the rest of the people spread out behind him, vaguely escorting.

Jiang Ran stroked his chin when he heard Tang Yuyi and Ye Jingxue speak at the same time:

“An expert.”

Jiang Ran glanced at the two of them.

Then he realized that these two were staring at each other, looking at each other with eyes that couldn’t even be described as friendly.

Jiang Ran had no choice but to rub his temples again, always feeling that the wind and rain of this jianghu were not as good as the words of these two people in front of him.

And right at this moment, the old man also noticed them.

When they looked at each other, Jiang Ran smiled slightly.

That old man, however, was expressionless and only whispered something in that young man’s ear.

In the next moment, that young man’s eyes suddenly sparkled.

Carrying his folding fan, he walked over towards Jiang Ran and their side.

The old man seemed to be stunned, and hurriedly followed the young man, waving his hand again, and the faces of the people behind him suddenly became grave, as if there would be assassins assassinating around them at any moment.

Jiang Ran skimmed his lips, feeling that what came was a big trouble.

And this big trouble had already arrived in front of Jiang Ran by now, with a smile on his face, he cupped his fist and said:

“This gentleman please, this place is overcrowded, I wonder if I can share a table with you?”

This was actually the norm.

It was mostly polite to ask, and basically no one would refuse.

The young man was thinking the same way, so after he finished speaking, he wanted to sit down, after which he heard Jiang Ran say:

“No.”

“Huh?”

The young man froze:

“What can’t?”

“Not to share a table with you.”

Jiang Ran made it clear:

“I’m a person who likes to be quiet.”

The young man’s face flushed slightly, and he said with some embarrassment:

“This …… can’t even spell a table?

“Big deal, I’ll give you silver!”

“Give how much?”

Jiang Ran looked up at him.

The man seemed to have taken Jiang Ran’s preferences, and immediately smiled:

“I’ll give you as much as you want.”

“Oh?”

Jiang Ran smiled:

“Is this true?”

“Naturally true!!!”

After he finished speaking, he rightly assumed that Jiang Ran had already agreed, so he sat himself down next to Jiang Ran, and after sweeping the others at the table, he said with a smile:

“My surname is Jin, all of you can call me Mr. Jin.

“I wonder how all of you are addressed?”

Ye Jingxue lowered her head to drink tea, turning a deaf ear to his words.

Jiang Ran raised his head to look at the distant scenery, as if everything did not fill his heart.

Only Tang Wuyi topped that Li Tianxin’s face and spoke in a breezy manner:

“One side of the river and lake, why should we ever meet each other?”

The young man instantly felt as if he had swallowed a piece of dry and hard mud, unable to swallow, unable to spit, hard to die.
