Chapter 314.
The eldest princess was more or less winded.
Although the words are said well, Jiang Ran is her strategy to retreat from the enemy.
But although the words were said with conviction, whether it could be done or not, there was still no certainty in the end.
But the result told her.
Not only can she do it, but looking at Jiang Ran like this, it’s still very easy.
Estimating that in the middle of this military formation, running back and forth a few more times would also be easy.
This person’s martial arts, has been high beyond bounds ……
No wonder the left road Zhuang master or also, abandoned Tian Yue also, all planted in his hands.
The eldest princess was all messed up in the wind, not to mention Guan Changqing and the others.
Each and every one of them looked at Jiang Ran as if they had seen a god descend to earth.
Guan Changqing let out a long breath:
“If Swordsman Jiang is willing to enlist, I, Golden Cicada, can sweep the world!”
“These words can’t be said indiscriminately.”
Jiang Ran hastily waved his hand.
Speaking as if he was some kind of dragon slaying sword …… the kind that could win the world if he got it.
Isn’t this looking for trouble for himself?
Guan Changqing was also conscious of his slip of the tongue, coughed, turned his head to look at the general on the ground who couldn’t move, and laughed:
“General Hou, I didn’t expect that meeting again would be like this, right?”
As soon as Jiang Ran heard Guan Changqing say this, he let go of his heart.
It seemed like the right person had been captured.
The eldest princess, on the other hand, raised a mouthful of internal energy and let out her voice:
“Hou Ning has been captured, put down your weapons in your hands, I, Golden Cicada, am tolerant and will never kill a prisoner!!!”
If Jiang Ran hadn’t chopped off Pang Kun’s tongue earlier, this would have been somewhat convincing.
But now that Pang Kun’s previous warning is not far away, many people where dare to believe the words of the Princess.
However, Hou Ning was indeed captured.
So many people look at, stop can not stop ……
A moment of military disorganization.
Even though there are still people trying to rally, but this group of people as long as the thought of Jiang Ran that vertical military formation, invincible martial arts.
Then they all lost their nerve.
Fear is contagious, and with the first soldier who threw down his weapon and turned to run, the Qing Dynasty had already been defeated.
Seeing this, the Princess immediately ordered:
“Open the city and pursue!!!”
Although there was a saying that a poor enemy should not be pursued, in reality, the Eldest Princess also knew that even if she caught up, it would be impossible to take down or decapitate all of these tens of thousands of people.
But this once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity, how could it be missed?
Naturally, killing one is one, capturing one is one less.
This battle was a great victory, and when the reinforcements arrived, they could consolidate their strength and recapture Huwei Pass.
And now Jin Yang House side is also the morale is flourishing.
The front soldiers immediately opened the city gates, the gang on the city, as well as those jianghu masters, as many as possible down the city wall, either running wildly, or unfolding the body to chase.
Among them naturally also less cavalry.
A moment of rumbling, the sound is not small, but also let the green country military formation routed, running two feet smoke, only hate parents less born two legs.
Jiang Ran did not go to this hilarious, but also did not leave.
Just let them go back and wait for themselves.
And the Princess this chase, on a full chase out thirty miles.
Only at this point did she order to return to the city to reorganize.
This pursuit, killed hundreds of enemies, captured nearly a thousand prisoners.
With this great victory, the Princess is also spirited, the body injury seems to have improved a lot.
Just wait until after returning to the city, see Jiang Ran sitting on the stone next to the city gate, the eldest princess felt a little pain in the head.
Jiang Ran waved at the Princess:
“Congratulations Princess on your victory and repelling the remnants of the Qing Kingdom’s army.”
“……”
The Eldest Princess was silent for a moment and said to Guan Changqing and the others around her:
“You guys go back to the government office first and discuss its post-countermeasures, I have some things I want to say to Swordsman Jiang alone.”
“Good.”
Everyone nodded, then cupped their fists with Jiang Ran and bid farewell.
Jiang Ran also bowed back one by one.
After waiting for the crowd to leave, the Eldest Princess rolled off her horse and came to sit beside Jiang Ran:
“This palace intends to return to the capital on a certain day, the eighty thousand taels of gold owed to you, when we wait until after we arrive at the capital, we will certainly give it back with both hands.”
“Now the Jin Yang House of the crisis although can not be considered completely lifted, but is also temporarily unharmed.
“The princess is still dragging me around like this, it seems a bit unreasonable, doesn’t it?”
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows gently:
“You insist on dragging me back to the capital, could it be that you have another plan?
“In order to prevent certain misunderstandings …… I can tell the Princess in advance, I have already been married, and I have a confidante in the rivers and lakes.
“If you really intend to find me to be the emperor’s son-in-law, that is the wrong person.”
“Beautiful you!”
The eldest princess gritted her teeth and blanked Jiang Ran:
“Looking for you to return to the capital is indeed something.
“But what exactly is it, we’ll only be able to see after we get to the capital.
“Of course, you can also choose not to go.
“Then this eighty thousand taels of gold ……”
“……”
Jiang Ran narrowed his eyes and looked at the eldest princess:
“Your Highness …… Jiang is a jianghu man. You blackmail like this, not worried about the anger of Jiang Moupi?”
The Eldest Princess spread her two hands:
“Not blackmail, really helpless.
“You are a person who knows the time, when you know the current situation.
“The green country framed me for killing their little prince, this undocumented crime is really called the Palace can do nothing.
“Earlier in front of the two armies you can also see, they are clearly not reasonable.
“It is nothing more than wanting to use this to start a war.
“Therefore, as you said before, regardless of whether we win or lose this battle, we have already fallen into the other side’s calculations and suffered a boring loss.”
“…… It’s mainly you, I’m a jianghu reckless, what does this matter have to do with me.”
Jiang Ran rolled his eyes:
“On the contrary, if it wasn’t for me, within this Jinyang Mansion, I’m only afraid that it would have been in chaos as well.
“The entire city would have had to be given away …… Even your life might not have been saved.”
“That’s right.”
The eldest princess nodded:
“You have the grace of sheltering the Jinyang Mansion, and to this palace, you even have the grace of saving your life ……
“Therefore, if you really want to be pissed off, this palace can only let you do whatever you want.
“However the current scenario you should know that the Green Kingdom will not let this go.
“Still, this Palace cannot touch the treasury silver of the Jinyang Mansion, much less let you take it away.
“Not only that, once the war starts, the surrounding cities will gather troops, and the silver consumption will be even more terrifying.
“Therefore the surrounding city of these money this palace also can not move, once moved, the front fighting soldiers, what do they eat, drink what, do not let them take the pitchfork flat and the enemy’s steel gun fight?
“You this eighty thousand taels, not that the Palace does not want to give you now, is really inexorable.
“You heard these If you still think it is the palace deliberately difficult, not to relieve the anger words …… then the palace let you punish is.”
Punish a hammer …… Jiang Ran always felt that the eldest princess this word, or in molesting himself.
He gently out of breath, in fact, the words of the eldest princess is indeed words.
The border is going to be in chaos.
The green country has a big problem …… What did the Heavenly Que do in the midst of this, Jiang Ran they are in the Golden Cicada can only see the corner of the truth, the green country that end of what exactly happened, who does not know.
Jiang Ran even think, that the heavenly Que’s venerable master, the reason why directing such a scene, absolutely another plan.
But what he plans …… Jiang Ran does not know.
But no matter what it was, it definitely couldn’t be to inherit Jiang Tianye’s legacy.
This is a front that has been taken before the stage.
As for the matter of the eldest princess wanting to let herself go to the capital, in addition to the side of the Jinyang mansion really can’t take the money, most likely also for the sake of the strife between and the green country.
She was planning to use herself to do something more in the middle of this.
Jiang Ran had nothing to say about this.
As long as give enough Jiang Ran want things, do what thing is not do it?
But the attitude still has to show.
Can’t be human parent princess a hook finger, Jiang Ran on Baba’s past …… what kind of reasoning is that?
“What are you thinking?”
The eldest princess’s voice entered Jiang Ran’s ears.
Jiang Ran said casually:
“I’m thinking about how to punish you.”
The Eldest Princess froze:
“You really want to punish this palace? You are committing treason and rebellion.”
“Eh?”
Jiang Ran froze: “As a royal family member and the eldest princess of a dynasty, do you intend to go back on your word?”
The Rapunzel was speechless, nagging:
“Then …… how do you want to punish me? If …… if it is not to be seen by people, it can not be in this public.
“A moment I follow you back to the inn, how do you want to punish all into, okay?”
“……”
Jiang Ran felt that this made her talk to her head.
Immediately, he stood up:
“Go.”
“Good.”
The eldest princess also followed and stood up.
“Good for you ……”
Jiang Ran glanced at her:
“You go back to your government office, I’ll go back to my inn.”
“So are you still punishing or not?”
When the eldest princess said this, the corners of her mouth were a bit suppressed and wanted to rise.
She had guessed that Jiang Ran couldn’t handle this kind of molestation from herself.
Now looking at his reaction, she really found it interesting.
“Punishing …… is fine, when there is free time afterward, now I still have other things.
“But on the contrary, Your Highness the Princess, you don’t intend to personally recapture the Huwei Pass?”
Jiang Ran’s words turned.
The Rapunzel shook her head:
“For one thing, I’m quite injured, it’s not appropriate to fight in front of the battlefield, and secondly, I have to rush back to the capital as soon as possible to explain clearly to my royal brother about this matter.
“Although there is a fast horse transmission, eight hundred miles expedited, but among the brief and concise did not see the whole picture, the emperor brother is now afraid of is also confused.
“Three to …… lead troops to fight this is not my strength.
“General Guan is now unharmed, since you can lead the troops to seize the Huwei Pass.
“He is in the border city land, prestige is great, I also should not clamor for the master.
“It is so that there is no need for this palace to stay here ……”
Jiang Ran thought about it for a while and felt that what she said made sense, so he opened his mouth and said:
“In that case, when does the eldest princess intend to depart?”
“It will be between these few days.”
The Eldest Princess glanced at Jiang Ran: “How?”
“When you set off, have someone go to the inn to let you know, and Mister Jiang will follow the Princess and enter the capital.”
Jiang Ran spread his hands:
“Who asked you guys still owe me 81,000 taels of gold?”
The Princess was just about to nod her head when she suddenly froze:
“Wait, how come there’s an extra thousand taels?”
“This has to be found in your great nephew, outside the Jin Yang Mansion, he preferred to come over and make up the table with me, I said no, he wanted to sit, I said that if he wanted to sit he had to pay for it, and he sat down without asking the price.
“Later the price I gave for this seat was a thousand taels of gold.
“It’s just a pity that he was poisoned by parasites at that time, and probably didn’t know about it.”
Jiang Ran summarized the matter briefly.
The Eldest Princess couldn’t even be bothered to ask why Shan Cong had been poisoned by the parasites, so she hurriedly said:
“In that case, how can this matter count if he doesn’t even know about it? What’s more, for a seat, you are selling a thousand taels …… simply outrageous!”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“Although he doesn’t know, but the IOU is down.”
Jiang Ran took out a note from his pocket and said to the eldest princess after opening it:
“There is also your great nephew’s personal seal on it.”
The Eldest Princess took a look with her eyes and felt a wave of dizziness.
Gritting her teeth, she said:
“To wait for him to come back, and see this palace, to not break his legs …… not work, I can not stand, you, you help me a hand.”
Jiang Ran a burst of speechless, smooth hand will be that note organized, stuffed into the sleeve pocket.
Then assisted the eldest princess to walk towards the government office.
While walking Jiang Ran muttered:
“Say goodbye to each home …… how to have to send you again?”
“Send this princess insulted you?”
The eldest princess was annoyed:
“Moreover, I’m weak and powerless now, aren’t you worried that in the midst of this military chaos, I’ll faint on the street and be taken captive?”
“Captive you for what? As a concubine?”
Jiang Ran laughed:
“You can’t fight with your shoulders, you can’t lift with your hands, and I’m afraid you don’t know anything about women’s honor.
“If I let you cook a meal, I’d probably burn the house down.
“If you are robbed as a concubine, that person will probably regret it for the rest of his life.”
The Rapunzel’s face turned blue as she listened:
“Is this Palace calling you disliked like this?”
“Huh?”
Jiang Ran froze: “What does it have to do with me?”
“Then in your eyes, this palace is this bad?”
The Princess became even angrier.
Jiang Ran thought for a moment and asked:
“In that case, the Eldest Princess is well versed in women’s red?”
“……”
The Princess’s anger receded a little.
Jiang Ran asked again:
“Or is it that one can cook?”
“……”
The Eldest Princess’s anger was left just a little bit.
Jiang Ran was still about to open his mouth to speak, but the Eldest Princess had already pre-empted him:
“You shut up!!!”
“I haven’t said anything.”
Jiang Ran was more or less innocent.
“What else do you want to say?”
The eldest princess gave Jiang Ran a hateful look:
“The skill of your mouth is only more above your martial arts skills ……”
“Consider the Eldest Princess as complimenting me, thank you, thank you, thank you.”
Jiang Ran smiled faintly.
The Eldest Princess didn’t want to pay attention to him and turned her head, looking at the scene on the street.
This night had passed by this point, and most of last night’s residents were sleepless.
Only, Jin Yang Fu last night curfew, not allowed the people to go out, now at dawn, but all ran out.
They learned that last night’s defense of the city was a great victory, not only did the Jinyang Mansion not suffer any damage, but also repelled the people of the Qing Dynasty.
There was laughter everywhere.
Looking at the scene in front of her, the eldest princess said softly:
“If we lost last night …… what will they do?”
Jiang Ran thought for a moment and said:
“That depends on how the people of the Green Kingdom make their decisions.
“Is it to slaughter the city and sacrifice the flag, or is it to be gentle and pacify them?
“If it is the former, the man dies, the woman is humiliated and then dies …… after the chaos of human life, is not it like this?
“If the latter is the case ……”
“The latter when how?”
The eldest princess looked at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran said softly:
“They will panic and apprehension at the beginning, if the Qing Dynasty really to them autumn no offense, they will gradually calm down.
“Among them, there is a part that will feel that this is quite good, nothing has changed, and the days go on as usual …… hoping that the war will calm down soon.
“There is also a part of the heart towards the Golden Cicada.
“Compare and contrast the national policies of the two countries …… to divide a high and low victory.
“And such people, if they have not been able to return to the Golden Cicada, slowly they will also forget the Golden Cicada.
“For the common people, it doesn’t really matter who is in charge, what matters is whether …… they can feed and clothe themselves.
“If someone can do that, then they can certainly be embraced by them.”
Rapunzel was still a little uneven when she heard the first half of his words.
Wanting to say that they are all my Golden Cicada subjects, could they not think that being governed by the Green Country would also be quite good?
But when she heard the last, she fell into silence.
In the middle of the day, he opened his mouth and said:
“This is not something you can say with the insight of a jianghu person.”
“I’ll just say it off the top of my head you just listen to it casually.”
Jiang Ran laughed:
“Jianghu reckless, and can have any real insight …… en? Look at those people over there ……”
Jiang Ran suddenly reached out and pointed.
The eldest princess followed the direction of his finger to look.
At that moment, her willow eyebrows stood up, and she didn’t need Jiang Ran to help her, her steps were windy, and in the blink of an eye, she had already arrived in front of those few people.
There were a total of four people on this side.
One standing, three sitting.
The three sitting are eating buns and drinking rice.
They were eating very happily.
When one of the handsome gentlemen finished the bowl of clear porridge, he let out a long breath:
“Shuantan …… How does this male son feel as if he hasn’t eaten properly for a long time?”
“Is it? This bowl of porridge, is it really so good?”
A voice suddenly came from the ear.
That gentleman was about to nod his head, when he suddenly felt as if something was wrong.
How did this voice sound so familiar?
Turning back furiously, he met the Rapunzel’s eyes.
At once, he was overjoyed:
“Emperor ……”
Was about to blurt out a name, and as if remembering something, hurriedly swallowed back and became:
“Little Aunt …… why are you here?”
“Looking for you ah.”
The Eldest Princess smiled sorrowfully:
“If it wasn’t for looking for you, this Palace would have nothing to do but run to this side of the city land? And how can I know that there is a change in the Tiger Wei Pass …… and how can I be seriously injured for someone?”
“Seriously injured!!!”
That male gentleman heard these words, brightly got up and nervously looked at the eldest princess:
“You, where are you injured? Who is so bold?
“Truth be told, little aunt, I’ve been wandering the rivers and lakes for a short time, and now I’ve gotten to know quite a few good people and heroes and chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes.
“I heard that last night someone even took the delusion of trying to break through the Jinyang Mansion, it is really outrageous.
“That is, we only entered the city this morning, otherwise, if it was yesterday night, will call the dog talent of the green country, see what is called jianghu masters!”
“Oh?”
The eldest princess smiled:
“What expert do you know again?”
As soon as he said this, that young man’s eyes suddenly went a bit straight.
Then in one go, he crossed over from the Princess’ side.
The Eldest Princess froze, and when she looked back, she saw that the male gentleman had already arrived in front of Jiang Ran.
Hands clasped his fists:
“Jiang warrior, long time no see!!!”
Jiang Ran smacked his lips, “It hasn’t been too long ……”
It’s just that you don’t know.
“Indeed indeed!”
Duke Jin nodded repeatedly, then said to the eldest princess:
“Imperial …… aunt, I’ll introduce you, this is the famous Amazing God Sword Jiang Ran Jiang warrior in the Jianghu Lake.”
“Oh.”
The eldest princess glanced at Jiang Ran:
“Jiang warrior …… what can you bear in your heart?”
Such a silly child, you are cheating him out of his money …… Doesn’t your conscience hurt?
