Chapter 374.

The entire matter could have ended up ending smoothly with the appearance of Shen Tu Lie’s benefactor.

However, because of Shan Zhi’s sudden cross-currents, a different ripple developed.

Those inside and outside the arena, gazing at the scene in front of them, only felt their breath catch in their throat.

Shan Zhi was the crown prince of the dynasty.

Jiang Ran was the new nobility of Jianghu.

The identity of the two can be said to be the difference between mud and clouds, however, at this moment, Shan Zhi is in front of Jiang Ran.

Not to mention that he is a dynastic prince …… even if it is the current son of heaven, what can be done?

With Jiang Ran’s martial arts, killing him is just a thought.

The only problem lies in whether Jiang Ran …… will kill or not?

You have to know that killing is easy, but the consequences after killing Shan Zhi, that will be unimaginable.

Since then, the Golden Cicada absolutely can not allow Jiang Ran to get a foothold.

The court will send a sea arrest document.

Jiang Ran’s head will be worth thousands of dollars!

But if you don t kill …… then Jiang Ran’s previous words will become a fart.

Outside the onlookers could not hear what they actually said.

But the crowd in the field is heard.

Jianghu people the most important face, Jiang Ran eat his words and fat, his reputation will be a great blow.

But in the face of the crown prince, a slight concession, but it is not a disgrace.

For a moment, the crowd in the arena looked at the scene in front of them, and their minds couldn’t help but be complicated.

Like Yu Wenting and Shentu Lie, they all kind of hoped that Jiang Ran would be able to deal a severe blow to the Crown Prince.

In that case, the matter between Jiang Ran and the Eldest Princess would naturally be dispersed with the wind.

Shentu Hong’s great revenge also had a chance to be avenged.

Instead, it was Jian Wusheng whose eyes were deep as he spoke softly:

“Swordsman Jiang, think twice before you act.”

Shan Zhi also smiled at his words:

“That’s right, Jiang Ran, Lone also advises you, think twice before you act.

“Even if you are highly practiced in martial arts, you are still my Golden Cicada subjects after all.

“If you dare to make a move against Lone, that is a violation of the following, you ……”

As the words came out, a click was heard.

Shan Zhi froze, and when he looked down, he realized that one of his little fingers had been folded backwards.

Intense pain passed through his heart at this moment.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt that there was one more thing in his mouth, but it was Jiang Ran who took the opportunity to stuff a wine glass into his mouth.

The next moment, Jiang Ran palmed his hand and only heard a click.

The wine cup instantly shattered in his mouth!

The shards cut through the flesh and blood in his mouth, and in a split second’s time, the Crown Prince of the current dynasty was already howling miserably with his mouth full of blood.

Subconsciously, he wanted to step back, but was again grabbed by Jiang Ran by the collar of his neck and pressed down on the table:

“The crown prince said …… how about the following offense?”

Yuwen Ting trembled, he really did it!

But this is a great crime of executing nine clans!

Jiang Ran …… you are really bold to the extreme!

He quietly backed away, limping, still unable to stop covering his face, wanting to leave from this place.

As long as you go out from here, tell what happened here, Jiang Ran is a traitor, is a rebellion, is a heinous crime!

But this step was taken, and the next moment, he didn’t dare to take a step beyond the thunderbolt.

A creepy feeling to the bone, from the tailbone all the way to the top door.

He subconsciously looked around, Jiang Ran was gazing at the Crown Prince at this moment, couldn’t care less about himself, so where did this feeling come from?

His eyes swept from Shen Tu Lie’s master and disciples, and finally landed on Jian Wusheng’s body.

He saw Jian Wusheng faintly smile:

“Mr. Yu Wen, where do you want to go?”

“…… It’s you!?”

Yuwen Ting couldn’t believe it:

“You dare to stop me?”

“Before there is a result in today’s matter, no one is allowed to step out of this courtyard.”

Jian Wusheng glanced at Shentu Lie:

“Head of the Shentu Association, it’s time for you to clear the yard.”

Clearing the courtyard naturally referred to the group of people outside.

Shen Tu Lie’s heart was reluctant, but looking at Jian Wusheng’s eyes, he knew that if he did not go to clear the field, then it would probably be Jian Wusheng who would make the move.

This person’s sword skill was the only one that Shen Tu Lie had ever seen in his life.

At that time, how the result will be, can be really hard to say.

Thinking of this, he gently nodded his head while opening his mouth to say to Jiang Ran:

“Swordsman Jiang, you quickly stop.”

While doing so, he intended to summon his men to drive away the group of people outside.

The reason why he made such a remark was also to get away with it.

No matter what, the Crown Prince had come to the Mountain and Sea Association as a guest, and for him to be beaten up like this here, Jiang Ran was certainly bold, but the Mountain and Sea Association could hardly escape culpability as well.

But no matter what, the attitude showed.

At least it wasn’t with Jiang Ran.

Even if there was really any punishment, it wouldn’t be too heavy.

Of course, the premise was that Jiang Ran should not really have a brain fart and kill the crown prince of the dynasty.

But just as Shen Tu Lie was planning to clear the scene, there was suddenly a burst of footsteps.

“The capital tonight curfew, you quickly return home not to linger in the street!”

This voice resounded in all directions, and it was evident that the person who shouted had deep inner strength.

At the same time, the door of the Mountain and Sea Association was also called open, and a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding lances came in.

The target is also clear to the extreme, straight to the backyard.

As the saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials, around this gang of jianghu people know that now the mountain and sea will happen in the courtyard of the matter how important, immediately also dare not look at more.

Have retired, each back to their homes, but even so, the heart is also remembering what will happen this side of the mountain and the sea tonight.

In the end is Jiang Ran in a fit of rage, in the capital killing spree.

Or is it …… Jiang Ran will lay down his arms and hands?

As for why to tie his hands?

He has already made a move to injure the crown prince, not to pay a little price how is it possible?

The people in the heart speculate all kinds of possibilities, the eyes look back is still a little fond of.

And this group of soldiers, in the twinkling of an eye has come to the backyard.

Shen Tu Lie frowned slightly:

“It’s the imperial guards?”

His eyes flickered and he was about to open his mouth when he heard a voice say:

“What’s going on here? Why is it so lively?

“Well, ah, imperial brother, how are you spitting blood from your mouth?”

The crowd looked up to see a young man wearing a helmet and armor, but he did not have half the aura of a general.

Walking two steps had to gasp for three, occasionally looking at the armor on his body, with a bit of grumbling on his face, as if he resented the fact that the object was too heavy.

But then the face became full of joy in the blink of an eye.

Smiling and looking at single wisdom.

Shan Zhi’s face was even darker when he saw him:

“Shan Cong ……”

With the pain in his mouth, his speech became a bit slurred.

Jiang Ran also looked at Shan Cong:

“Why did you come?

“However, it’s just right to come, let me ask you …… how many sons does your father have?”

“…… This is asking my heart to be scared.”

Shan Cong cried and laughed:

“Jiang Warrior, as things stand now please also give me a face how about this matter ends here.”

Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow:

“When did the second prince have such a big face that he can ask Mister Jiang to give you face?”

“This …… this naturally wouldn’t dare.”

Shan Cong gave a dry laugh:

“But, but then again, if you kill him, things will become troublesome.

“Whether it’s me, or my royal aunt, or my father …… doesn’t want to see things evolve into this.

“Do you see it right?

“My royal brother has no one to go against him since he was a child, so naturally he is lawless.

“You adults don’t remember the small man, so let’s make the big thing small, and let’s make the small thing small.”

These words made Yu Wenting and Shen Tu Lie want to vomit blood.

What do you mean, “Let’s make the big things small and the small things small”?

This is a big matter, how can it be trivialized?

Even if you don’t put nine clans to death, you have to be sent to the Heavenly Prison, waiting for the fall decapitation.

What kind of nonsense is this, Prince?

Single wisdom is also angry and laugh:

“Outrageous …… Shan Cong …… you come here, is to see lone joke?

“Jiang Ran he even dared to do this to Lone, he ……”

“You shut up!”

The second prince glared at Shan Zhi.

Shan Zhi’s eyes widened, completely unable to believe that Shan Cong would speak to himself like this:

“What did you …… you say?”

“I told you to shut up.”

Shan Cong glanced at Shan Zhi, then smiled and said to Jiang Ran:

“I know my face isn’t worth much, but …… you want to wait no more? The person whose face is worth a lot of money will be here soon.”

Jiang Ran looked at Shan Cong with a smirk:

“Why did you run over?”

“This …… heard that there is a bustle here.”

“Heard from who?”

“The Wuwei Candidate sent someone to deliver a letter.”

Jiang Ran nodded.

In three words, he had probably its understood the situation.

However, he didn’t say much, but sat his butt on the table and released the hand that was holding down Shan Zhi.

Shan Zhi was able to free himself and immediately wanted to move away from Jiang Ran.

But the next moment, first a buzzing sound was heard, followed by a click.

The veins on Shan Zhi’s brain popped up, glancing at the table, one of his hands was nailed to the tabletop by a chopstick, hard and fast.

He had the heart to reach out and pull it out, yet his fingers trembled, and it hurt incredibly to touch it.

Where would he have the heart to pull out the chopsticks.

For a moment his body convulsed in pain.

Just heard Jiang Ran say:

“His Highness the Crown Prince has already drunk quite a bit from the wine and food here today.

“In order to avoid you running away after eating, it’s still necessary to help you make some small decorations.

“In that case, how about Your Highness the Crown Prince just peacefully wait here for a bit for that person with a bigger face?”

“Jiang Ran …… lone …… lone is a dynasty prince, you even …… you dare to this kind of insult to the lone!

“You …… you, you are really guilty and bold!!!”

Shan Zhi gritted his teeth and looked at Jiang Ran.

Such an outcome was something he had never expected.

After all, he was the Crown Prince of the dynasty, it was always him who made things difficult for the bystanders, and the bystanders were obsequious, when did the person who was made difficult dare to retaliate against himself like this?

In his anticipation, he used these four experts to test Jiang Ran’s martial arts.

Jiang Ran no matter win or lose, even if it is not angry, at most will say a few harsh words, or, dare to be angry but not dare to say.

Who would have thought that …… this person was really daring to make a move!

“So what?”

Jiang Ran casually picked up a grain of peanut rice and hit Shan Zhi’s head:

“Earlier, I said that the crown prince should not make any attempts.

“Otherwise, the Golden Cicada’s next generation of emperors might be Shan Cong.

“I also took Yuwen Ting to make an example of the monkey, only you, the monkey, probably did not look at it at all.

“Sort of like talking to a cow.

“I also said that I hoped that during the time I was in the capital, you and I could be at peace with each other.

“But my words, assiduous and bitter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not listening to a word.

“You said …… that you came to see the fun today, and it was just a matter of time.

“We are still considered well water.

“Now …… what are you doing?

“Good end, why seek death ah?

“Is it that this crown prince is not comfortable being a prince anymore? Or feel that life is not interesting? Who is not good to provoke, but to provoke me?”

As he spoke, he took a peanut and hit Shan Zhi’s head.

It was light at first, gradually getting heavier and heavier.

In the end, with every peanut rice that fell, Shan Zhi screamed miserably.

Shan Cong watched in horror:

“Jiang warrior …… show mercy ah.”

“Mercy for what?”

Jiang Ran looked at Shan Cong with a smirk:

“Isn’t your nature a bit too straightforward?

“Now that the Golden Cicada crisis is at hand, your father can fold a hundred princes, but he can’t possibly give me up.

“Isn’t this the best opportunity for you?

“I beat him silly, a silly man naturally can’t be a crown prince, much less an emperor.

“As the second prince, if he leaves the Eastern Palace, won’t you have a chance?”

“Ah this ……”

Before Jiang Ran said this, Shan Cong hadn’t thought of it.

At this moment, when he heard Jiang Ran say it, he was suddenly happy:

“It seems quite reasonable ……”

Shan Zhi was in pain, angry, angry and afraid, and when he heard this, he couldn’t help but shout angrily:

“Single Cong …… you, you also against it?”

“If the younger brother is against it, he will not come to save you.”

Single Cong bitterly smiled:

“Now also do not know to save you on the end is good or bad, always feel that the imperial brother you seem to be a little confused ah.”

“You …… you dare to talk to lone like this?”

Shan Zhi raised his eyes to look at Shan Cong.

It was then realized that the eyes of this younger brother looking at himself, but it was unspeakably calm.

So much so that the words that were going to come out later were hard to say.

The jianghu people outside had already been dispersed, and now apart from the imperial guards, only Shen Tu Lie’s master and disciple, Jian Wusheng, and Yu Wen Ting were left in the field.

Only in the face of such a situation nowadays, none of them could interrupt.

But for Jiang Ran’s words, they couldn’t help but ponder over them carefully.

Jiang Ran said that the Golden Cicada crisis was ahead.

This naturally refers to the Green Country and the Leaving Country.

But what could Jiang Ran do in the middle of this? Why would the Son of Heaven be able to fold the Crown Prince, and not be able to give up on him?

And if that is the case, then what he did today would be the same as what he did in the past.

Then what he did today, is not a hot head, the anger of a man blood splattered five steps this simple.

He is simply …… emboldened!

Heart is thinking about it, heard a voice came:

“The Rapunzel has arrived!!!”

“Coming!”

Two words popped up in the hearts of everyone.

The one with a bigger face that Shan Cong said in his mouth had come!

Immediately, they all looked up and saw that the Eldest Princess was walking with a flying gait, and in the blink of an eye, she had already arrived in front of them.

Seeing Jiang Ran sitting there, eating peanuts while smashing Shan Zhi.

The Eldest Princess was the one who smiled:

“You said you would come out tonight to meet Shentu Lie, why are you suddenly in conflict with a junior?”

Shan Zhi’s face darkened, just now the person who was tragically downgraded was Shen Tu Lie, he was still able to look at the joke.

Now it was his turn to be the one to be demoted.

Immediately hastened to say:

“Imperial Aunt help …… this Jiang Ran wolfish, lawless, he dared to this to the lone …… is really a great crime, but also please Imperial Aunt …… ”

“Shut up.”

Rapunzel’s face sank, gently shouted:

“The holy decree arrives!!!”

The Rapunzel had invited the holy decree!

So the person with a bigger face that Shan Cong was talking about was still not the Eldest Princess, but the current Emperor?

In the face of the holy decree, whether it was Shen Tu Lie or that old eunuch, as well as Yu Wen Ting all hurriedly knelt down to receive the decree.

On the contrary, it was Jian Wusheng who skimmed his lips and did not kneel down, but stood holding his sword.

He is a Jianghu martial artist, but also a swordsman, he would rather bend than break.

How could he kneel down to listen to the decree?

The Eldest Princess didn’t care and was about to read the imperial decree.

Just heard Shan Zhi hurriedly said:

“Imperial aunt …… lone, lone now like this, can not …… not be able to receive the decree ah.”

“You just listen to it.”

The Rapunzel said, pulled open the imperial decree and said in a loud voice:

“By the grace of heaven, the emperor’s edict said:

“Crown Prince Shan Zhi does not cultivate virtue, from today onwards, he is secluded in the East Palace, closed to contemplate.

“Without a decree may not leave the East Palace half a step.

“Your Majesty!”

“What?”

Shan Zhi was dumbfounded:

“Why? Why did Father let Lone contemplate behind closed doors? Lone …… lone what fault is there?”

“This is for you to think about.”

The eldest princess closed the holy decree and put it in front of Shan Zhi.

Looked to Jiang Ran:

“Release him, this matter imperial brother will give you an explanation.”

Jiang Ran skimmed his mouth:

“An explanation?”

“That’s right.”

The eldest princess nodded.

Jiang Ran stroked his chin, seemingly hesitating.

Shentu Lie and the others stood up and looked at Jiang Ran’s appearance, and each of them couldn’t help but look at each other.

The holy decree, not a single word about Jiang Ran’s offense, but also said that the Crown Prince did not cultivate virtue.

This is a complete defense.

But Jiang Ran looks as if he is still very dissatisfied …… He still hesitates, what does he hesitate ah?

“That’s just it, since it’s the face of the Son of Heaven that in the end still has to be given.

“However, since it is a closed door, no decree shall not go out of the East Palace half a step …… then this pair of legs of the Crown Prince, about a moment will not be able to use it right?”

Jiang Ran laughed:

“For the time being, let’s just let you cultivate your body in bed for a few months.”

Shan Zhi froze, suddenly realizing that it was not good:

“You want to ……”

Before he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Ran point out two fingers.

The bones in Shan Zhi’s calf had been clicked and broken by these two fingers.

The entire person also flopped onto his knees due to the intense pain.

This pain was far more intense than before, and it even made Shan Zhi feel like he was in a haze, his mind not clear.

Right in the middle of this haze, he also heard the eldest princess say to Jiang Ran:

“Thank you for showing mercy.”

Where is this mercy?

He himself is the crown prince of the dynasty …… The crown prince of the dynasty ah!!!!

Being insulted to this point, even, even said mercy?

Under the anger, a mouthful of blood was violently sprayed out, and he fainted.

Jiang Ran glanced at him and shook his head:

“It’s all been said, you’ve caused heavenly trouble, yet you don’t believe it.

“Forget it, take it away.”

Jiang Ran casually pulled off the chopstick that was stuck in his hand.

He beckoned to Shan Cong.

Shan Cong hurriedly got someone to come over to bandage the crown prince, this group of people were nimble but in a few moments, they had already packed it up.

Then a group of people carried the crown prince away.

Shan Cong cupped his fist to Jiang Ran, and then took two quick steps behind him.

Jiang Ran glanced at Shen Tu Lie:

“Then let’s say goodbye tonight, we’ll meet again.”

“……”

Shen Tu Lie didn’t know how to reply for a moment.

The eldest princess, on the other hand, said to Jiang Ran:

“Go quickly, go quickly, imperial brother is still waiting for you in the palace.”
