Chapter 359.
Within the hall of the Princess’s Mansion.
Two people dressed as government officials were sitting upright.
After all, it was the Princess’ Mansion.
Although they had received an order from the government office to come and invite people, they did not dare to be reckless.
Sitting on their chairs, they didn’t dare to sit firmly, ready to stand up at any time.
Such a simmering wait, a full half an hour had passed, the two magistrates had not even glanced at each other, nor exchanged a word.
Finally, footsteps came from outside the door.
The two people simultaneously turned their heads to look.
They saw a handsome young man with a sword hanging from his waist and a wine gourd in his hand, walking slowly.
The two magistrates immediately stood up:
“Dare I ask if this is the Amazing God Sword Jiang Ran Jiang Warrior?”
“Precisely this …… myself.”
The visitor slowly opened his mouth, subconsciously rubbing his neck as he spoke.
I don’t know how in the world that ‘Li Tianxin’ managed to do it, even if his face turned into Jiang Ran’s appearance, how come his voice was just like Jiang Ran’s?
Naturally, this person was not Jiang Ran, but rather, the Princess had disguised herself.
This matter was obviously a game.
Although Jiang Ran was still unclear, which part of the process had suddenly touched the other party’s nerves, so that they suddenly began to lay their hands on him.
But if they continued to follow their script, the outcome would definitely be unfavorable to themselves.
So Jiang Ran then planned to break their rules a little.
Let’s first see what exactly they intended to do.
And in the midst of this, the identity of the Rapunzel could naturally make a big difference.
That was why she had asked her to assume her own appearance and follow these two magistrates, to see where exactly they wanted to take themselves?
Now that the Rapunzel’s words had fallen, after the two magistrates looked at each other, they couldn’t help but ask again:
“Dare I ask, where is the Eldest Princess?”
“What? You guys still want to take down the Eldest Princess as well?”
The Eldest Princess raised an eyebrow.
“I don’t dare to.”
The two yamen hastily bowed and retreated:
“It’s just that the Eldest Princess went to look for you just now, and now I only see you and not the Eldest Princess, so I’m asking questions.”
“Strange, when did the Eldest Princess’s whereabouts need to be reported to you two little yamen?
“What are you planning to do here?”
The Eldest Princess’ eyes narrowed slightly, if Jiang Ran hadn’t wanted to see what these people were up to, just with these two words, they wouldn’t have been able to leave the Princess’ residence today.
The two magistrates knew that they had spoken out of turn and quickly apologized.
Afterwards, they said to Jiang Ran:
“There’s no need for Jiang Warrior to worry, we’ve basically understood the situation within the Heavenly Prison.
“There were two jailers right outside the prison cell at the time, and they can prove that Dao Wuming was still alive and well when you left.
“We have come to seek you out now, but it is only because His Excellency would like to inquire with you personally,” he said.
“It is only because of Dao Wu Ming’s special status, please forgive me, Sir Jiang.”
“No harm done.”
The Eldest Princess gently waved her hand, following Jiang Ran’s cloudy demeanor and said:
“Lead the way in front.”
“Yes.”
The two magistrates looked at each other and said, “This expert in the jianghu, how is it that he has more official authority than a great official in the court?
Immediately, they didn’t dare to be slow, guiding the Princess out of the Princess’ Mansion.
After waiting for the door, only then waved his hand towards the distance, and saw a sedan chair swaying to the front.
A couple of errand boys dropped the sedan chair and lifted the curtains:
“Lord Prefect has already ordered that Swordsman Jiang is not a suspected criminal and needs to be circumspect and courteous.
“In the rush, there was no time to make more preparations, so I’ll ask Swordsman Jiang to get into the sedan chair.”
The Eldest Princess glanced around and gently nodded her head:
“Good.”
As she spoke, she raised her steps and got into the sedan chair.
With the magistrate shouting outside:
“Raise the sedan chair!!!”
Four sedan chairmen at the same time, the sedan chair shook and rose.
As soon as the sedan chair went, it swayed and rose and fell in an orderly fashion.
The Princess sat in it, closing her eyes and shaking her head.
Shaking and shaking, then drowsy.
Seems to sleep between non-sleeping, she seems to hit a nap, suddenly woke up after, ears have not heard the capital city street above the bustle of the bustle of the bustle of the bustle.
The surrounding silence, as if few people.
Only the sedan chair is still shaking, all the way forward.
“What’s going on? Where has this arrived?”
Princess subconsciously opened the sedan chair side of the curtains, a look outside, but it is already from the day to the dark day, the surrounding shadows all over the mountains and dense forests.
Immediately angrily bellowed:
“Stop the sedan chair, where is this? You want to take me where?”
However, none of the bearers outside responded to her.
Rapunzel lifted the sedan chair curtains, a look outside, previously went to the princess residence of the two magistrates, in the forefront of running head nor return.
She shouted two more times, the two officers also did not answer.
Her heart was momentarily suspicious.
This oddity must have been in the moment she boarded the sedan chair.
That wobbly feeling added to the body, one’s own even if it is caught in the way.
However, after the initial panic, the Princess had calmed down.
Jiang Ran was right behind her, and if there was really any problem, he should have already made a move.
The fact that he hadn’t stepped in to save himself so far meant that there wasn’t much of a problem at the moment.
Just …… occasionally thinking about Jiang Ran’s attitude towards herself, the eldest princess couldn’t feel this person’s pulse again.
In case, he really see death to save.
Then they are not woe is me?
This thing Jiang Ran he is not do not come out ah!
For a moment, the heart suddenly peaceful, suddenly jumping, disturbing her mind.
Is annoyed at the moment, the sedan chair suddenly stopped, and stopped in a hurry.
Rapunzel’s figure swayed, nearly scampered out.
Just stabilized her figure, and then fell sharply, the eldest princess was furious, her figure turned, the whole person in the air, snorting, the sedan chair was suddenly in pieces, her figure in the air, slowly fell down.
Looking around, this place was already completely not the realm she was familiar with.
The surrounding trees were lush, the ground was overgrown with weeds, and where she was, there were strange and jagged rocks.
And bring yourself over those police officers, magistrates, at this time one by one all lie down on the ground, bleeding from the seven orifices.
Rapunzel heart, immediately came to a person in front of, slightly check a little, which was stunned:
“Dead?”
How dead?
She had just been in the sedan chair and had not heard the enemy’s voice, how could they be dead?
Immediately, she went to check on another person and found that they were also dead.
These magistrates who had come to the Princess’s residence to invite Jiang Ran had all died in the middle of nowhere!
Today, if Jiang Ran was the only one here.
If Jiang Ran was the only one here, then the suspicion wouldn’t be washed away.
“What kind of person is pretending to be a ghost, still not come out?”
The Princess rose up and turned her eyes to look around.
Just heard a voice that seemed to descend from the nine heavens above:
“The Frightening God Sword has a great reputation, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that.
“The capital no longer has a place for you.
“Once these magistrates are dead, your honor’s killing of Dao Wuming will be confirmed.
“If you were not weak-minded why would you kill to silence yourself?
“Even if you return to the capital now, you are facing a court siege.
“How are you going …… to handle yourself?
“Is it a killing spree to turn into a devil?
“Or difficult to endure, looking for the opportunity to turn around?
“I am curious!”
“What are you?”
The Rapunzel spoke coldly:
“Do I have a grudge against you? Is this kind of plotting and assassination the work of a gentleman?”
She did not intend to debate with the other party, but now the other party’s scheme is considered to have succeeded, at least in the view of the opposite side, their scheme has come to fruition.
In that case, it was the time to get carried away.
By talking to him more himself, Jiang Ran would also be able to tell where this person was hiding.
From there, he would be caught out and tortured!
“Gentleman?”
The voice suddenly laughed:
“If Jiang Warrior is able to make a name for himself in the jianghu as the Amazing God Sword, how could he not know where there would be a gentleman in this jianghu?
“I am not a gentleman, but a villain.
“Villainous means, naturally, are all-encompassing.
“As for why …… I have to do this to you …… can only say that you are standing in the position that you should not stand.”
The face of the eldest princess suddenly became more gloomy:
“What kind of position is a position that shouldn’t be stood in?”
“There are some things that Your Excellency is better off not knowing.”
The man let out a light laugh:
“However, in the end, we are actually still unwilling to make a grudge against the Jiang Warrior, after all, the Nine Blades of the Shocking God are truly appalling.
“If it weren’t for the fact that Jiang Warrior stood opposite us, we wouldn’t be willing to treat you like this ……
“Under that big tree on your left side, there is a bundle hidden, which is a fine bundle of coils.
“Go all the way along that tree for seventy-five miles to get out of this woodland, and at the end you can see someone waiting.
“That person has a carriage, you don’t need to talk to him, just get in and he will take you out of the capital territory.
“This action is nothing more than leaving behind a point of good karma, I only hope that since then, we won’t see each other again!”
The Princess frowned and wondered why Jiang Ran hadn’t shown up yet.
After saying so much, with his martial arts skills, he would have been able to catch the other party out a long time ago.
But why hadn’t he done anything until now?
Did he intend to let himself be lulled into another conversation?
But words to this point, there is no need to say again ……
Just thinking about it, just see a silhouette do not know when, has come to the front of that tree.
Casually a rake, under the tree really hides a package, after opening, inside is gold and silver jewelry, jade agate.
“What a great deal.”
Jiang Ran lifted the bundle and laughed:
“These things can be worth a lot of money.”
“It’s good that Jiang Warrior understands.”
The voice continued.
The eldest princess, however, opened her mouth in consternation:
“What are you doing?”
“Who?”
The voice that seemed like it was from the nine heavens above also let out a query.
“Digging for money.”
Jiang Ran said rightfully:
“People have hidden silver here, if you don’t dig it up, won’t you fail to honor their hard work?
“This money ah, I’ll take it with a smile.”
“…… This Palace knows that you love money, but there must also be a degree ah. What this palace gave you, is it still less?”
The eldest princess was furious: “Moreover, you don’t go to arrest people, run here to get money …… Could this money still grow legs and run away? Or, are you worried that this palace will be the first to take the silver and not give it to you?
“Wait, this money is for you to run away.
“Since you’re not running, why should I give it to you?”
“Then give it back?”
Jiang Ran blinked and looked up:
“This brother, I don’t intend to run away, I’m not ashamed to receive this money.
“Why don’t you tell me a place, and I’ll return all of this money as it is?”
“……”
It was only after about a few breaths of silence that the voice came back again:
“In the end, I have underestimated Jiang Warrior ……
“Only in this case, there may be no more room to turn around between us.
“It is hard to predict whether Jiang Warrior will win or lose this battle, but no matter to whom, it will be a huge loss.
“You ……”
As his words reached this point, Jiang Ran suddenly flew up, and from within the canopy of the tree, he took out an object.
However, it was a half-cut jade xiao!
That man’s voice had actually come out from this half-cut jade xiao.
The eldest princess looked up at Jiang Ran, who let out a light laugh:
“I would like to see what kind of person would be the one who makes a move with this kind of hidden and unseen means!
“If your honor has any tricks, feel free to show them.
“I will wait and see!
“However, your Excellency has already seen with her own eyes the killing of the government officials in the capital and the attempt to plant evidence to frame them.
“Dao Wu Ming’s death …… Jiang Mou will also sooner or later and all of you will be liquidated!
“You and others also need to wash clean head, waiting for Jiang Mou blade!!!”
As the last sentence fell, the half of the jade xiao in his palm suddenly clicked and cracked, sending out cracks.
It was not that Jiang Ran crushed it, but his voice contained internal force.
Through this jade xiao, it actually shattered it.
It was good that it was shattered but not cracked.
However, he did not know that forty-three miles away, within a hut.
There was a man wearing a pure black mask who suddenly let out a muffled grunt.
Immediately following that, blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth.
In the next moment, he waved his hand, and a jade xiao in his hand dripped, and as he raised his hand, it fell within his sleeve.
With a creak, the door of the room opened.
A young man with narrow eyes, stern eyes, and a lock on his chest then entered the room.
Glancing at the masked man, he let out a light laugh:
“It’s been said, don’t provoke him easily.
“If this person was easy to deal with, he would have died on his way to the capital long ago.
“Although your tactic is sinister, it’s really not very useful against someone like him.
“And for that reason, you even killed Dao Wu Ming.
“It’s a pity about his Unheard of Dao Qi.”
“Dao Wu Ming has long since forgotten his identity …… and deserves to die.
“To think that by hiding within the Heavenly Prison, you can escape our cleansing, is truly laughable.”
The masked man let out a cold laugh:
“As for this Jiang Ran …… does have a few points of guile.
“Although the relationship between the eldest princess and him is known to the world, letting the eldest princess testify will inevitably have the suspicion of harboring.
“But this some in the end is what she saw with her own eyes, if you want to reverse the holy will, the cost is too great!
“Good thing, they still do not know we have to identity.
“In this way …… cough cough ……”
The young man with the lock on his chest stepped forward and gently patted his back:
“You were injured just now?”
“Although the heavenly sound xiao has the ability to be unpredictable, but since he was told to find that half of the xiao, and to transmit the message with the sound, it is inevitable that he will be injured by his internal strength.”
The masked man spoke in a deep voice:
“This person’s martial arts skills are world-class, unless the Cicada Master makes a move, otherwise it would be difficult for us to have a chance of winning even if we have the help of the Twelve Heavenly Coincidences.
“This matter has yet to be handled with caution ……
“And under this exertion of theirs, it is inevitable that we will fall into passivity.
“The roots that can be cut off, need to be eradicated as soon as possible, must not be called his have half a bit of harvest.”
He said here and looked up at the person in front of him:
“Has Ren Guanlan’s side been checked?”
“Someone has already gone to do it.”
“That’s good …… This person’s death always felt a bit strange.
“I’m worried that Jiang Ran and the others may already know where we came from.
“Unless the identification is clear, then ……”
“Hmm.”
The young man at his heels nodded gently:
“Take a good rest, don’t continue to labor.”
The masked man promised, before he rolled over and lay down, slowly closing his eyes.
The young man with the padlock on his chest saw him lie down, so he stood up and went out of the thatched hut.
Outside the house there was a table, on top of the table there was a pen, ink, paper and ink stone.
He lifted his pen to write, and after a few moments, he wrote down seven slips of paper.
Each note was only about an inch wide, blew the ink dry, rolled it into a thin roll, and put it into a bamboo tube.
With these seven bamboo tubes, came to another room.
Here are densely packed all cages, cages are raised pigeons.
He chose seven of them, hung the bamboo tubes on the pigeons’ legs, and released them one by one.
Meanwhile, at the burial place of Ren Guanlan, Mrs. Ren and Ren Chao Sheng, who had come all the way from the Iron Cavalry Alliance’s rudder, finally arrived to pay their respects.
……
……
“What is this thing? I said how come you didn’t find him, so this person is not around?”
The Eldest Princess looked at the half-constructed jade xiao in Jiang Ran’s hand and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Jiang Ran didn’t answer her words, but checked the corpses on the ground one by one, and said thoughtfully after a moment:
“How could this be ……”
“How is it how is it?”
The Rapunzel followed up with one question after another.
“They died of exhaustion.”
Jiang Ran said softly:
“I tailed you all the way over here, these people move like flying, I thought their internal strength was really so stretched out.
“It turns out it wasn’t ……
“They are in advance by someone in the body to do under the feet.
“Once left the Princess House, to wait for you to get on the sedan chair, it will be sent to run wildly, all the way towards this deep forest.
“The other party must have already calculated their physical limit, therefore, to this place in order to just live to exhaust all of them.”
“…… This calculation can be really not shallow.”
The Eldest Princess frowned, “But is there such a need?”
“Perhaps the style of acting is such.”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“However, if this is this person’s style, then this style is actually not good …… it’s easy to leak out traces.
“Your Highness, Rapunzel, next you’ll have to have a thunderous rage when you go back.
“After that, who did you inquire from, about Dao Wu Ming?”
“You suspect this person?”
The Eldest Princess glanced at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran, however, shook his head:
“What I suspect now is the entire Sword Execution Division ……
“However, in the end, you can’t kill him with a stick.
“This person you’re seeking, if conditions allow, find a reason to imprison him.
“Carefully interrogate some, he inquired about the cause and effect of this matter of nameless.
“The matter is …… crucial may be hidden in the details.”
The eldest princess glanced at Jiang Ran:
“This palace understands what you mean.
“For the other party to do things with such precise calculations, it is bound to be impossible for it to be an impromptu decision.
“Rather, it was premeditated.
“Dao Wu Ming is a bait, and you are the fish that bites the hook.”
