Chapter 368.

Old Uncle Chen glanced at Jiang Ran and nodded slightly:

“I know what the young master has in mind.

“How could the master not be the same?

“It’s just a pity that …… Miss Qingyang was so badly injured at that time that she could never have survived.

“Young master, you shouldn’t think too much about it and labor over it either.”

Jiang Ran slightly bowed his head, took a tea cup and sipped it, slightly moisturizing his throat:

“After that …… old drunkard can ever look for?”

“Looked for.”

Chen old uncle gave a bitter smile:

“But did not look for a long time, because after that, we found that young master you have a health problem.

“For this reason, the master traveled the rivers and lakes, collecting exotic treasures for you, wanting to cure your body ……”

What happened after this, Jiang Ran also knew all about it.

It was just that when he said this, he suddenly thought of something:

“What kind of relationship is there between the old drunkard and the Illusory World Sea Tower?”

That night in the Jin Yang Mansion, besides Abandon Heavenly Moon and Heavenly Que’s Zuo Zun, it was that little old man from the Illusory World Sea Tower.

This person’s illusions were superb, very different from the Devil Cult’s Heart Demon Thoughts type of tactics.

Without realizing it, he could deceive the eyes and change the sky.

At that time, Jiang Ran and the old drunkard’s attention was focused on the right and left dual honors of the Heavenly Que, and this person came to the front of their master and disciple, but neither one of them realized it.

Although if he knew that the person from the Illusory World Sea Tower was around, Jiang Ran’s heart was on guard, so he would not have been blindsided by this.

But even so, possessing such a skill was enough to call out to people.

However, the real point is, that night he went to save the Princess and her group.

The old drunkard left without saying goodbye, and at the same time took away that little old man from the Illusory World Sea Tower.

This did not allow Jiang Ran to not think about it more.

It was just that the Illusory World Seafloor was extremely mysterious.

Since the old drunkard broke into the Illusory World Sea Tower, they had always remained hidden.

If it was said that they and the old drunkard really had some secret relationship hidden in it that others didn’t know about.

Then it was not so much that Abandoned Heavenly Moon found them and teamed up to deal with the old drunkard.

It would be better to say that the Illusory World Seafloor had taken the initiative to show up and use them to find the old drunkard.

After Old Uncle Chen heard Jiang Ran’s words, he did not reply.

Instead, he fell into a very long silence.

Jiang Ran wasn’t in a hurry either, sitting there and waiting quietly.

As he watched the streets come alive, the tea in his cup went cold.

Only then did Old Uncle Chen slowly speak:

“Young master forgive me, this matter the old slave has agonized over and over again, I really don’t know if I should talk to young master in detail.

“Given the young master’s current situation, the master when has not said much to the young master.

“That being the case, the old slave would not dare to speak out of turn.”

Jiang Ran didn’t get annoyed at what he heard, but smiled:

“In that case, the old drunkard and the Illusory World Sea Tower really do have some connection.

“You guys are hiding something from me …… because you’re worried that I won’t be able to face the danger?”

“The old slave does not know what is in master’s mind.”

Old Uncle Chen bowed his head slightly.

“That’s all.”

Jiang Ran gently waved his hand:

“I won’t make things difficult for you, old uncle, this matter will be talked about here ……

“But I have a question I want to ask you.”

“Young master please speak.”

“Is the old drunkard facing the Blood Cicada?”

Jiang Ran slowly spoke.

Old Uncle Chen hesitated for a moment before finally uttering three words:

“Not just.”

“Sure enough ……”

Jiang Ran stood up:

“That person watched out for me, nowadays the slightest clue is vital to me.

“This person can die without a corpse, but he must not show himself in front of people.”

“Old slave understands.”

Old Uncle Chen bowed slightly.

Jiang Ran then smiled:

“That being the case, then I will leave first. There’s still a while left in the Mountain and Sea Meeting tonight, so I don’t have time to come here.

“Wait for tomorrow, I’ll come over again.”

“Greetings, Young Lord.”

As these words of Old Uncle Chen fell, Jiang Ran’s figure had already disappeared from the window.

The room fell into silence, and only after a long time did Old Uncle Chen gently sigh:

“The young master has come out well.

“Master …… have you been overly concerned?”

These words were asked, and no hope was pinned on any reply.

Simply because within this room, there was no one else besides him.

Contemplating again and again, he took out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and wrote a letter, yet after the letter was finished, he did not send it away through means.

Instead, he placed it on the table and quietly looked at it.

After looking at it for about a tea, he gently shook his head, took the letter in his hand, and with a push of his internal force, the letter immediately ignited without fire.

Only after it had completely turned into ash did he then wave his sleeve, dispersing the green smoke that filled the room.

Get up and open the door, prepare for camp.

……

……

Jiang Ran sat on one of the roofs and quietly watched the Luang Huan Bookstore for a long time.

Until the sunrise, also did not wait for anything.

Finally sighed:

“Is there no contact …… or do you not want to contact?

“Old drunkard ah old drunkard, where on earth have you run off to?

“Since it’s not just the Blood Cicada, could it be that you’re going to come to the door one by one to collect your debt from the experts of the five countries back then?

“What role did the Illusory World Sea Tower play in this?

“Old Uncle Chen’s silence was originally an answer.

“It’s just a pity that the answer is still too shallow ……

“The good thing is that I now seem to be on a fairly correct path, continue along this path, I should be able to see you, right?”

He gently clapped his hands, rolled over and stood up, unfolded his body technique, and returned to the Princess Mansion.

Inside the Princess’ Mansion, everything was as usual.

Jiang Ran’s return coincided with lunch.

There were sounds of laughter in the arena.

Jiang Ran glanced at the eldest princess sitting at the top, also laughing and fluttering, a moment of some uncertainty.

When asked, it was the joke Tang Yuyi had made when she first came to the capital.

She then proposed to go to the palace to steal the imperial chef’s cooking, to Jiang Ran under the wine.

Jiang Ran didn’t think there was anything wrong with that.

As a result, today, when the eldest princess easily found time to eat with them, she made this a gossip.

Anyway, they are all a group of jianghu reckless people, where do they care about imperial power and wealth?

The Rapunzel had also gotten used to their lawlessness a long time ago.

Just after hearing it, her expression was a bit odd as she said:

“If you want to eat meals made by the imperial chef, why bother to break into that palace grounds?

“The cooks in the Princess’s residence, all of them are imperial chefs ah …… What do you want to eat, say to the Palace, the Palace will go to ask for the cooks with the Royal Brother is, why bother to steal?”

After some words, the people present were dumbfounded.

Following that, they burst out in laughter.

Tang Yuyi was pretending to be Jiang Ran, but it was not good to lose her temper, otherwise, if she lost such a big person, she would not be able to be satisfied without flailing her teeth and claws.

Jiang Ran also laughed after hearing the cause and effect.

However, he immediately brought up the matter at hand.

All the people present were people he trusted, the only one who wasn’t too sure was Yan Wushuang, but also because things had something to do with her, so Jiang Ran didn’t do much to hide it, and directly put the things that happened last night, and so and so said it all over again.

When she heard that Changsun Wuji originally came from Little Spring Manor in the country of Li, Yan Wushuang’s hand trembled.

The cup in her hand almost fell on the table.

She looked up at Jiang Ran, wanting to seek confirmation.

Jiang Ran, however, took it upon himself to repeat that Wu Qianzhong’s words.

“This is impossible ……”

Yan Wushuang subconsciously spoke:

“How could he …… how could he …… this is not right.”

But she couldn’t say where exactly it was wrong.

Subconsciously, she wanted to deny it, but what Jiang Ran said made sense.

Her parents’ death was already a bit strange.

Changsun Wuji said that he was knocked out as soon as he made a move, and when he woke up, everything should have settled down.

Then no one would doubt his words.

But now I think, he is the weakest martial arts, if he was really hit by someone, and can not just knocked out this simple?

The other side intentionally out of the siege, and how could leave such a big one alive?

After all, the Hundred Treasures Society is by no means easy to mess with.

Letting Changsun Wuji go back would definitely bring endless trouble to his family.

As a result, Changsun Wuji just went back.

Because of his ignorance, Yan Lingshan could only go to the country to look for his enemy.

As a result, he was beaten to death by Autumn Night’s Remnant.

If all of this was not a coincidence, but a carefully laid out trap, then all of the things that didn’t make sense originally would make sense.

But this heavy truth left Yan Wushuang somewhat breathless.

She looked up at Jiang Ran who was still talking eloquently, but she didn’t listen to a single word of what he said afterward.

Jiang Ran, on the other hand, kept talking about all the names that Wu Qian Chong had spilled out, as well as the list, before he stopped talking.

The Princess’ head was sweating:

“Is this list true?”

“Half true and half false, the specific how, but also to see how the eldest princess to choose.

“and the emperor, how to decide.”

“This matter can’t be told to imperial brother ……”

The eldest princess slowly closed her eyes and said softly:

“Follow the wind into the night, and moisten things silently.

“The Blood Cicada Roots are rooted on both sides of the river and lake dynasty, so it really isn’t just an empty phrase.

“But if all that is written above is true …… then today’s Sword Enforcement Division, in the end is the Golden Cicada’s Sword Enforcement Division, or the Blood Cicada’s Sword Enforcement Division?”

Jiang Ran looked at the Elder Princess with some sympathy in his eyes.

This also made him think of that S.H.I.E.L.D. in Marvel ……

Hydra S.H.I.E.L.D. Division.

The entire S.H.I.E.L.D., up and down, had been infiltrated by Hydra.

When it came to Rapunzel, it was pretty much the same situation.

Sort of a Blood Cicada Sword Enforcement Division branch.

The good thing is that nowadays, although the framework of the sword division has been established, it is not excessively rooted in the court.

For the jianghu is also to pull a batch of fight a batch of kill a batch, did not hammer to the end.

Gentle means, the progress of all parties are not fast.

Therefore, the influence is also limited.

Even if the blood cicadas completely occupy the sword division, want to take advantage of the trouble, but it is far from enough.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran said:

“Don’t be alarmed first, Rapunzel.

“The Blood Cicada’s people have very hard mouths, although I have someone to help me and pry open that person’s mouth.

“But what that man said cannot be fully trusted.

“Further confirmation is needed.

“In other words, there are certainly Blood Cicada masters within the Sword Execution Division, but by no means does everyone follow their orders.

“Dao Wu Ming is a living example.”

The Rapunzel’s spirit perked up slightly at those words:

“You’re right.

“Now that he’s given a basket of sand, he needs to sift through it to know which are the stones and which are the fine sand!”

Jiang Ran glanced at the eldest princess:

“Got an idea?”

The eldest princess smiled faintly:

“This palace said it out, you help to think about it?”

“Let’s hear it.”

“I intend to divide and conquer, and then provoke a fight between them.”

Jiang Ran copied his chopsticks, his words were finished, this would allow him to start eating.

Copying a piece of meat that he didn’t know what it was, he stuffed it into his mouth.

And the eldest princess said:

“This method of this palace is a bit bold.

“The first thing is to announce a message within the Sword Execution Division ……

“Let’s say that there is a lawless organization within the Golden Cicada territory that is rooted in imperial power, yet wants to transcend it.

“This group acts in secrecy and has powerful methods.

“It’s a good thing that there are people of theirs within the Sword Execution Division that have been turned by the Palace, thus allowing the Palace to catch them in the act.”

“You’re bluffing …….”

Tang Yuyi said after listening and thinking for a moment:

“Not a word about the Blood Cicada, not a word about the Blood Cicada.

“And the so-called curbstomping is giving them a target.

“They will probably be more anxious than you to find this person you’ve turned.”

“Exactly.”

The Eldest Princess said with a smile:

“Then this palace will meet one person on this list every day.

“If you are lucky, the first one will be selected, and you only need to secretly monitor this person for the first sifting of the sand.

“If you are unlucky, the first person chosen has no problems.

“It is also nothing more than a false connection, and as long as the person seen for the second, or even the third time, is really one of the Blood Cicada, it is bound to arouse the suspicions of the others.

“In this way, pulling out the carrot brings out the mud.

“Coupled with Jiang Warrior’s interrogation method …… although it may not be possible to completely remove the Blood Cicada’s minions within the Sword Execution Division, it may not be possible to do so with enough force.

“But it will certainly be possible to clear out a clean slate within the Sword Execution Division.”

Jiang Ran nodded thoughtfully:

“That’s a good method to use. But in doing so, it may also cause the Blood Cicada to be alerted ……

“However, the Rapunzel was originally their target.

“As the saying goes, lice don’t itch debts.

“Rather, it is not a plan.

“But there is another …… you do not have to characterize the blood cicadas so clearly.

“Need to call them feel like, but also plausible.

“At the end of the day, then think of some words to cover up the matter.

“Lest the blood cicadas turn into frightening cicadas.

“That would be somewhat unfavorable to us.”

“Hmm.”

The Rapunzel nodded:

“So that’s how it’s going to work?”

“Well, we can cast a wave first.”

Jiang Ran said after some thought:

“But there should still be more important bargaining chips of the Blood Cicada within the imperial court, otherwise it would still be difficult to do it with one hand with these people.

“Wu Qianzhong is nothing more than a Scarlet Cicada.

“Even if he understands some of the hidden secrets, I’m afraid it’s impossible to know everything.

“Therefore, acting needs to take one step and look at three steps, lest the other party take the initiative.

“Of course, the things within the courtroom, it is left to the eldest princess to do.

“In the end, I’m just a layman in this regard, so I don’t have any more suggestions other than this.”

“This palace understands.”

The Eldest Princess nodded, and just as she had eaten her fill, she stood up and prepared to go out to do something.

Jiang Ran’s side picked up a few mouthfuls of rice and casually talked and laughed with Poetry, Frightening Frost and Frightening Snow.

Only occasionally looked up, looked to Yan Wushuang that pale face, a moment also sighed.

Only after waiting for lunch to finish and resting individually, did Jiang Ran find Yan Wushuang.

Within the room, Yan Wushuang sat there dumbfounded.

She didn’t even react when Jiang Ran came in.

It was only until Jiang Ran brought a pot to pour tea that she said:

“Father he was born tall and big, every time I look up at him, I feel as if he is a high mountain.

“Mother likes to smile …… and has a good temper.

“No matter how much I lose my temper or how much I make a scene, she doesn’t get angry.

“Thinking of ways to make me happy.

“When they were both around, I never felt happy.

“It wasn’t until they were gone that I realized what I had.

“They never thought that because I was a woman, I should marry and have children and raise them.

“Father taught me martial arts and wanted me to make a difference in the jianghu.

“Mother asked me about women’s arts, but when she saw that I didn’t like it, she never mentioned it again.

“Grandpa single-handedly founded the Hundred Treasures Society, which housed all of us.

“It was only after they left that I realized the ideals and purpose of the Hundred Treasures Society.

“To take the wealth of the world for the benefit of the people.

“Taking from the people, and using it for the people.

“Only in this way can the country become rich and the people become strong.

“I have inherited this ideal and value the Hundred Treasures Society more than anything else.

“What I did was based on the position of the Hundred Treasures Society.

“And all these years, the position of the Hundred Treasures Society has actually been the position of Changsun Wuji ……

“When really ridiculous, I as their daughter.

“And yet, I have never realized that I have always been beside the thieves and bandits.

“And still delusional enough to think that everything he did was also for the Hundred Treasures Society!”

Saying this, she looked at Jiang Ran:

“Do you think that I’m not being ridiculous?”

“If you know all of this and still make such a choice, then you are indeed ridiculous.

“But if you were blindsided, what’s so ridiculous about it?

“It is not yourself who should be hated and blamed.

“Rather, it’s those who deceive the gods and spirits, who hurt you while whitewashing themselves with reasons like ‘I’m doing this for your own good’.”

Jiang Ran pushed the teacup to Yan Wushuang:

“Feeling sorry for yourself here nowadays won’t change anything.

“The Little Spring Manor of the Leaving Kingdom is there.

“And all the tragedies came from it.

“The Hundred Treasures Society is also right in front of you. ……

“You still have important things to do.

“Wait until you have done all of this, stabilized the Hundred Treasures Society, regained control of the power, and allowed the Hundred Treasures Society to continue to move forward in accordance with the trajectory foreordained by your grandfather and your father.

“Then it will be time to consider revenge.”

Yan Wushuang took a deep breath:

“You are right …… It is ridiculous to say that at a handful of years old, seeing things is not as distinct and thorough as you.”

“A handful of years old?”

Jiang Ran glanced at her:

“Dare to ask your geng ah?”

“…… don’t want to tell you.”

Yan Wushuang said with a smile:

“Anyway, it’s older than you, you just call it sister.”

“I’m also considered to have helped you avenge part of your revenge, shouldn’t you call me a benefactor?

“And still let me call you sister? Where is heavenly justice? Where is conscience? Where is justice?”

“No more bullshit with you.”

Yan Wushuang blanked Jiang Ran:

“When will I be able to leave here?”

“Now is the time.”

Jiang Ran said:

“Last night they attacked the Hundred Treasures Building, and now it’s a scene of devastation within the Hundred Treasures Society.

“Changsun Wuji’s disappearance …… is the time for you to regain control of the election.

“Go back, Head of the Yan Association.”
