Chapter 287.
Although Jiang Ran’s mouth was ten thousand disbelief.
But his heart was alive.
Martial Prince …… Within the Golden Cicada Dynasty, any commoner should know the name of this one.
The previous emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne.
This was a matter of course in any dynasty.
However, the late emperor had one thing that was always odd ……
Ever since he ascended the throne, he had never established a crown prince.
This was actually out of order.
Although it is not that Baba is looking forward to the early death of the emperor, so that the crown prince can ascend the throne.
But the matter of establishing the crown prince is a big matter, and it can let people know that this country has an heir, and there is a future.
Even if the emperor has any accidents, not because there is no heir to shake the foundation of the country.
At the same time, the early establishment of the Crown Prince would also allow him to learn the business of governing the country earlier, lest there be chaos when things came to a head.
The result of the late emperor is, no matter how the speech officer how to advise, minister how to advise, is to turn a deaf ear.
Said he was in his prime, not in a hurry to set up the Crown Prince.
Then this kind of procrastination, procrastinate again and again, procrastinate to the end, drag himself to the death of ……
What happened after that, the ordinary people naturally do not know, Jiang Ran this group of people in the jianghu understand not much.
Anyway, only know, after the death of the first emperor, is now the emperor succeeded.
And the current son of heaven, but not line big.
Among the many emperors, he ranks third.
The first two brothers one is really useless, the other is this Prince Wu.
Prince Wu is said to be talented, since childhood is both martial arts, all mastery.
He is also the eldest of the many princes.
Even in accordance with the rules of the establishment of the eldest not the youngest, it should be him to inherit the throne only right.
As a result, the real inheritance is the oldest three.
Therefore, there are folk sayings circulating out.
Said this Prince Wu is certainly all good.
Good appearance, good martial arts, good knowledge, good skills.
Only one thing is not good …… for people not benevolent!
Therefore, before the death of the late emperor, personally pointed out that the current son of heaven sitting emperor, is because of the Prince of Wu heart is not good, for people are not benevolent.
If this were a different situation, but anyone who says this, will have to come to a crime by speech.
Even if the current emperor was willing to listen to this, he couldn’t let anyone say it.
After all, it involves the face of the royal family.
But it is this Prince of Heaven is this way to listen to it …… until the more the rumor is more outrageous, and even some people say, this Prince of Wu is now full of indignation and injustice, and one day is bound to raise the army to seek rebellion.
The present day son of heaven only painlessly disposed of a few of the most ferocious.
This sweeping the entire Golden Cicada Dynasty gossip, to this only stopped.
Prince Wu’s reputation has spread far and wide since then.
…… For his unkindness.
To be honest, at that time, when Jiang Ran heard about this, he thought that this might be a rumor spread by the current emperor himself.
As long as this reputation stinks, even if this Prince Wu really rises up to rebel in the future, it is estimated that not many people will respond.
However, this matter has already passed for a long time.
Since then, there has been no news from Prince Wu.
However, I didn’t expect that hearing this news once again would be in this side of the desert, in the middle of the Willow Courtyard.
If the person who made Tian Youfang go out to deal with Duke Jin this time was really Prince Wu, then Jiang Ran felt that it was actually understandable.
Then Jiang Ran felt that it was actually understandable.
Duke Jin was a son of the royal family.
Prince Wu may or may not hate the current Prince of Heaven, and if he does, it would be unusual for him to get a little revenge by killing a Golden Duke.
Just …… what kind of identity is this Golden Duke?
There is no value of revenge?
His mind messy thoughts turned a big circle.
Just then, he heard Tian Youfang say with a bitter smile:
“Boss, I really didn’t lie to you about this.
“Truthfully, this kid …… is actually the second son of the current Son of Heaven, the current Crown Prince’s own brother.
“Its people are scattered, learning and martial arts are a mess, and not much valued by the emperor.
“This is to let its free to travel the rivers and lakes.
“Prince Wu hates today’s Prince of Heaven to the bone, also do not know from what way to find the subordinate, promising heavy money ……
“Only then did my subordinate take over the deal.”
When he said this, his eyes swept a glance at Wu Di, who was not far away, and then said to Jiang Ran:
“Boss, this kid is not suitable to work under you.
“His martial arts skills are mediocre, and his ability to use parasites is also mediocre.
“My subordinate has been studying with him since childhood, and his skills are far superior to his. Don’t worry, after this battle, my subordinate will be loyal to you, and I will never have any second thoughts.
“Please also spare my subordinate’s horse!”
Wu Di frowned slightly and let out a cold smile:
“At a time like this, you still don’t forget to step on me?
“Rather, I don’t know since when you have turned into such a person.
“Obviously before ……”
“So what if it was before?”
Tian Youfang laughed:
“The past is the past, the present is the present, people do become, what’s more, how do you know that I didn’t intentionally hide it in the past?”
Jiang Ran glanced at Wu Di:
“How was he in the past?”
“Once upon a time he treated me extremely well ……”
Wu Di said softly:
“Very good to anyone, we even thought that he would definitely be the clan leader in the future, like Gong, sheltering my clan.
“So, Azhu heart pleased him, I have nothing to regret, only feel rightfully so.
“But I didn’t realize …… that it was actually harming her.”
Jiang Ran’s face was unimpressed, but his heart was somewhat curious.
A future matriarch who had been extremely outstanding since childhood and had high hopes from everyone.
Just what kind of stimulus did he receive, suddenly his temperament changed drastically.
He had stolen the Compass King, killed Qingmei, and kept Qingmei’s native compulsion by his side.
His party’s action against Wu Di seemed to be very spicy, but in fact, he also left quite a bit of mercy.
Dragging and dragging, he didn’t seem to be willing to lay down a harsh hand.
Although Jiang Ran had never felt that human nature was inherently good.
But there was always a feeling that there might be something going on here.
However, this matter, now pursuing the words probably can’t ask something.
Jiang Ran then waved his hand:
“Alright, you don’t beg Laozi either.
“Old me is in a good mood today as I’ve collected a new lackey.
“Don’t bother with your entanglements.
“Wu Di, this man is yours.
“It’s up to you to decide what to do with him.
“I hope that you will be able to be decent in the future, and do a good job of being a lackey under my seat.
“Don’t learn from him. …… Speaking of which, how did you learn together?
“This son of a bitch looked at than you have to big round ah.”
“…… I don’t know.”
Wu Di also looked at Tian Youfang strangely:
“How did you age so much?”
“It’s not easy out there.”
When Tian Youfang said this, he saw Jiang Ran stand up as if he was about to leave.
He hurriedly said:
“Boss, you don’t leave me alone ah, he hates me to the bone, I killed his favorite woman, if you leave me with him, I’m bound to live a life worse than death……. Boss, boss help.”
Jiang Ran had already reached the door at this time.
Turning back, he looked at Wu Di:
“Tomorrow morning, find me at my place by yourself, don’t make me wait for you.”
“Yes ……”
Wu Di cupped his fists and arched his hands, and considered it a promise.
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, stepped out the door and turned his eyes away.
After the two men, one kneeling on the ground and the other standing there, watched Jiang Ran leave, Tian Youfang then murmured:
“You should have asked for the Butterfly Compass back.”
“You can’t ask for it back, he won’t give it to me.”
Wu Di spoke softly.
“That’s true.”
Tian Youfang smiled and glanced at Wu Di:
“Thinking about it? Really want to work under him?
“I know that you have always honored your word, but …… this matter I advise you to think again.
“This person is by no means a good person.
“In the beginning, I really thought he didn’t have a brain.
“Now look, on the contrary, I feel that he is deeply hidden ……
“You don’t want to let someone sell you and still be ignorant.”
“Like you?”
Wu Di coldly looked at Tian Youfang.
Tian Youfang grinned:
“Yes, like me ……”
Slap!
A slap swept across his cheek, Tian Youfang gave his head a tilt and grimaced in pain:
“Can you not always hit this side of the face, it’s all numb.”
“Why in the world did you …… lay your hands on Ah Zhu?”
Wu Di’s chest rose and fell as he angrily looked at Tian Youfang:
“No matter what you ask her for, she will give it to you!
“But you …… can’t take her life no matter what!!!”
Tian Youfang gritted his teeth and smiled:
“Yeah, actually, I could have not killed her.
“But …… what can be done about it?
“This is, perhaps, her life.”
Speaking here, Tian Youfang looked up at Wu Di and said softly:
“Kill me, chop off my head, take it back to Gong, and you might be the next clan leader.”
“I will naturally do it!!!”
In the center of Wu Di’s palm, there was a flash of silver, and he took a step to Tian Youfang’s front, grabbed his head and pressed it onto the table, and with a flash of silver in his hand, he was about to fall.
But when that sharp edge was just a hair’s breadth away from falling on Tian Youfang’s neck, this hand suddenly stopped.
“Tell me …… that you have bitter feelings!”
Wu Di said through clenched teeth:
“Tell me …… that Azhu was not killed by you!
“Tell me …… there are questions behind this, it’s not as simple as I thought!
“Ana! Tell me!!!”
Tian Youfang’s head was pressed down, but a big smile appeared on his face:
“Bamboo, I’m the one who killed him.
“I don’t have any bitterness ……
“This matter is as simple as you think.
“What should be told to you, has been told to you ……”
“You!!!”
Wu Di’s eyes were vaguely red, but right at this moment, he heard Tian Youfang say again:
“But there is one more thing that I did hide from you.”
“What is it?”
Wu Di froze.
Just then he heard Tian Youfang say:
“Being in the world, you can’t be as kind as before ……
“You have to make a decision when you make a decision.”
“Sh……”
Wu Di froze, and then he only felt a stiffness in his wrist.
Suddenly, he looked down and realized that a silver needle was being stuck on his arm at an unknown time.
“Woodman Compulsion ……”
Wu Di’s pupils contracted violently, just as he saw Tian Youfang’s head lowered, he got out from under his palm.
With a casual foot drop, he was kicking Wu Di into a chair and sitting down.
Tian Youfang slightly moved his arms and legs and rubbed his chest again:
“Surprisingly, a kick directly shut me up through the air, still underestimated this Tong Qianlong ……”
Looking up at Wu Di, he smiled:
“Isn’t it curious? When did I get the silver needle?
“And when was it, that I unlocked the acupoints?
“I know you can’t speak right now ……”
Tian Youfang good-naturedly poured himself a cup of tea:
“It’s true that you’ve closed your breath, and it’s also true that you’re unconscious.
“The silver needle was brought from you.
“The method of pointing …… points is good, but it’s useless to me.
“The acupoints in my body are already completely different from a normal person, it’s not that his pointing kung fu is not good, but there is no one under this sky who can point my acupoints.”
After drinking the tea in the cup in one go, Tian Youfang suddenly slapped Wu Di’s neck.
Wu Di didn’t even grunt as his head lolled and he had passed out.
There were a total of four people in the room, and now he was the only one left awake.
The smile on Tian Youfang’s face also gradually dissipated.
He quietly glanced at Wu Di and spoke softly:
“Ah Zhu …… was indeed not killed by me.
“It is also true that I have bitter feelings ……
“But I can’t tell you, otherwise with your nature, I’m afraid you will only die faster.
“Hate me …… keep chasing after me in order that you …… won’t step into Azhu’s dust.
“It’s me as a brother who is useless, causing you …… to work this hard.”
After he said these words, he exhaled a long breath.
Then he stood up, tilted his head slightly, and after calming down for a while, he then came to the Golden Duke’s heel.
With a slight turn of his palm, he was about to fall.
Just then, a voice was heard from the door:
“With the fall of this palm, some things may truly never be undone again.”
Tian Youfang’s face changed drastically, and he turned around violently, but he only felt a flash of shadows, and the visitor had already arrived in front of him.
With a shock, he sent out a palm, but in the next moment, his wrist had already fallen into the other party’s palm.
An irresistible force came, and his figure involuntarily ran two steps forward, and in the next moment, both his hands had been clasped behind his back.
Click click click!
The sound of dislocation came from both arms, followed by a tight neck, two more clicks and two more clicks, and both legs were also dismantled.
The whole person was no longer able to do anything about it and was picked up by this person with one hand on his back.
He turned his neck to look, and was looking at Jiang Ran face to face.
Tian Youfang’s heart was terrified.
Previously, whether it was fear or begging for mercy, most of it was just theater.
This time it was real fear!
“You …… you didn’t leave ……”
The biggest secret deep in his heart was known by a reckless man.
This made him tremble with horror.
“If I really left, wouldn’t I not be able to see this scene?”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“What a pity that would be ……”
Tian Youfang’s face changed drastically:
“No …… you, you’re not Tong Qianjian, what the hell are you ……”
At the sound of his words, he saw Jiang Ran’s five fingers reach out and pinch his chin, casually yanking it, and with a kaboom, he directly demolished his chin as well.
“Too many words, this is not the place to talk, let’s change the place to have a good chat …… but not now.”
Jiang Ran’s footsteps were a little bit, and the person had already left the room.
With another shake, he had already deposited himself in the shadows.
In the next moment, Tian Youfang only felt streams of light flying around him.
Every step landed between the shadows, and sometimes he appeared, and the surrounding scenery was even flying away.
It was incredibly fast!
There was only one thought in his mind.
This person is not Tong Qianjian!
Tong Qianjian’s martial arts is wide open and slightly clumsy, how could he have such exquisite light skills!
The thoughts in his head had just reached here when the scenery around him suddenly gave a lurch, and with a roll of his eyes, he realized that the two had already returned to Jiang Ran’s residence.
A click was the sound of the room door closing.
Jiang Ran casually placed the person on the ground, his eyes turned around, spied a large box, lifted it open and saw that it was empty, just suitable for hiding people.
So he threw Tian Youfang into it.
Tian Youfang’s lips opened and closed, his mouth made a slurred sound.
Jiang Ran smiled:
“I still have to go out, please wait for me here for a little while.
“Come back later and we’ll talk in detail. ……
“But before that, I advise you to better not make any noise.
“If someone explores my place at night and discovers you …… then the situation won’t be very good, you are also a smart person, don’t make trouble for yourself.”
Tian Youfang’s mind turned, and he knew that Jiang Ran was right.
Those who visited Jiang Ran’s residence at night at this time were either for the bronze vat or for the gold.
Seeing such a big living person like himself, could he expect this gang of thieves to be kind enough to free him?
Or they will give themselves the opportunity to recover their own jaws, so that they open their mouths to tell them that this Tong Qianjin is someone else’s fake.
Everyone has been fooled by him?
This point, most likely not feasible.
And since Jiang Ran hadn’t killed himself up to this point, he might not be malicious, at least so far, he still had a chance.
Thinking of this, he nodded hard, indicating that he would cooperate.
Jiang Ran looked at him like this and also smiled with satisfaction:
“Very well…… have a good rest, we’ll talk later.”
After saying that, Jiang Ran smoothly closed this big box.
Then his body shape shook and scurried out from the window, and then went all the way to the west.
When he arrived near the root of the western wall, he didn’t approach hastily, but stood in the shadows and looked around.
On the surface here is no one.
Then he held his breath and listened ……
Some people in this jianghu are powerful in jedi, their own internal strength may not be too good, but the matter of hiding oneself is a master of the art.
Even if the internal strength is far above the other side, if you do not pay attention to listen, it is difficult to notice where the other side is hidden.
And for this reason, there are people who have specialized in practicing some extraordinary means.
For example, the God Searching Sect’s God Searching Great Method is this way.
This martial art specializes in detecting hidden people in the surroundings.
At that time, Liao Chengfeng had once utilized this technique to find Wu Niangzi hiding behind a tree.
If it wasn’t for Jiang Ran’s Creation Heart Sutra, which could resist the intrusion of all external evils, he would have been found by this God Searching Technique as well.
It was a pity that Jiang Ran had only obtained the Subterranean Shadow Misty God Steps from Liao Chengfeng, and had not obtained this kung fu, otherwise, he would not have needed to listen intently.
However, the Subterranean Shadow Misty God Steps was an excellent technique for restraining breath.
The gain or loss of these two, again, not too easy to say.
Now that he was listening, he immediately realized that there was a person hiding on both sides of his surroundings.
Jiang Ran’s footsteps turned, silently came behind a person.
He saw that person quietly lurking, gazing out at the old willow tree outside the wall, his expression focused to the extreme.
Jiang Ran pondered for a moment, then asked in a low voice:
“Have you seen anything suspicious?”
