Chapter 376.
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows slightly.
Glancing at that current Son of Heaven sitting in front of the desk case.
“Said he came to give me an explanation …… How come after he came, it’s as if he wanted to ask me for an explanation.”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“Why do I always feel that you say this, as if you mean it?”
“No.”
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince categorically denied it, and then said only after slight contemplation:
“Now that the Golden Cicada is in turmoil, you acted a bit too recklessly tonight.
“It is also the Jade Cicada’s deep understanding of your heart, so that this matter can be temporarily suppressed.
“But in this way, you are also considered to have become a target.
“If this matter is done according to the rules, it would actually be unfair to the Crown Prince.”
“Then it would be fair to me?”
The corners of Jiang Ran’s mouth flared up with a hint of a smile:
“Dare I ask Your Holiness, if the person who is embarrassed by the Crown Prince today is not me.
“but someone whose martial arts skills are not as good as those four masters of the Crown Prince’s …… then what should be done?
“In other words, Your Holiness, your Crown Prince, straw man.
“And how do you plan to act?”
The Golden Cicada Celestial Son snapped his head up to look at Jiang Ran.
Between the four eyes, he heard Jiang Ran speak faintly:
“Your Holiness shouldn’t be thinking that this matter is no big deal.
“He is the Crown Prince of the Hall, so what’s killing a jianghu reckless person?
“If this rivers and lakes reckless, really have what must die for the crime, but also have nothing to say.
“On the contrary …… this kind of indiscriminate killing, can afford a sentence …… not benevolent?”
There is a saying that killing kills the heart.
Jiang Ran this sentence ‘unkind’ directly poked the Golden Cicada Prince of Heaven’s lungs.
Back then, the reason why Prince Wu lost the battle for the throne was because of one sentence of ‘unkindness’.
Now that the Crown Prince’s actions had been surprisingly labeled as ‘unkind’.
Doesn’t this mean that the Crown Prince has lost his virtue, and is not worthy of being in charge of the Eastern Palace, and is not worthy of being the Golden Cicada Crown Prince?
Further to the greater ……
He saw this Golden Cicada Crown Prince’s face darken:
“You want to say that I …… have eyes but no pearls, and set up the wrong crown prince?”
Jiang Ran, however, shook his head:
“It’s out of our hands who the emperor wants to set up as a crown prince.
“But what this crown prince has done may really be something else, as His Holiness said.
“But even if he is compelled …… to act like this, it is still a bit not smart enough.
“To kill innocents indiscriminately is unkind, and to be easily provoked is unwise.
“Unkind and unwise, what a Golden Cicada Prince!”
“You are unbridled!!!”
The Golden Cicada Crown Prince burst into fury, slapping his hand on the table, his face turning blue, veins popping up on his brain.
And with such a big commotion, the great inner experts outside were naturally blind and deaf.
Immediately, they came out from left and right, surrounding Jiang Ran in the center.
As long as the Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince gave an order, he was going to take someone out.
Jiang Ran didn’t even look at them, just looked at the Emperor with a smile on his face:
“I am unbridled, what does Your Holiness intend to do?”
“……”
The Golden Cicada Emperor took a deep breath before waving his hand:
“Stand down.”
This group of great inner experts didn’t dare to disobey orders, and immediately retreated.
Just before they left, they couldn’t help but look at Jiang Ran one more time.
Drawing the wrath of the dragon’s face, and then turning out to be shitless …… What the hell is this person?
“I thought that His Holiness also intends to see if I, a reckless man of the jianghu, have the ability to splatter blood.”
Jiang Ran smiled faintly:
“To say a heartfelt word to His Holiness.
“I am really just a countryside piker, if you want me to be like those civil and military officials of yours, holding you up and saying …… that you are looking for the wrong person.
“I have always had something to say, if you are not used to hearing and seeing, then we had better meet less in the future.
“Lest one anger, led to the dragon face anger, and finally the river and mountain change the master.
“This is not what I wish, and I think it is not what His Majesty wishes.
“Farewell.”
“Wait!”
Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince shouted again with a dark face.
“Anything else?”
Jiang Ran glanced back at him.
“There’s something to talk about, there’s something to talk about, what’s the point of leaving when there’s nothing to talk about? Are you leaving after the matter is finished?”
Golden Cicada Celestial Son rambled with a grimace:
“Said to come, said to leave, you when my imperial study is what place?
“What temper …… I am the dignity of the Nine or Five, was you said to your face that there is no pearl in the eyes, but also can not be angry?
“This is not also did not put you how well, you fell on the temper.
“Outrageous!”
He said as he stood up and didn’t sit there anymore.
Although Jiang Ran’s character had been known for a long time, and the Princess had also given more than one precaution.
But sitting here, there was always a feeling of facing an ordinary courtier.
But now this, not his subjects …… do not listen to him that set.
Really make a stalemate, on today’s situation is unfavorable, more unfavorable to him.
Jiang Ran said that the river and mountain change master, this is not a joke.
This person really has the ability to kill himself and then leave.
Even if for this reason the Golden Cicada is in chaos, the people are not happy.
But as a jianghu reckless, the heart after the pain, other things after even if it is regret, and he has died with the emperor also has no relationship.
Therefore, the Golden Cicada Heavenly Son mouth rambling is part of the heart also can not help but tell himself …… endure a moment of wind and waves, take a step back to the sea and the sky.
I am the true Dragon Son of Heaven!
The power of the world, can’t I take a step back?
What’s the big deal?
The heart constantly consoled himself in the mouth, heard a snorting sound.
Immediately looked up and saw the eldest princess covering her mouth vigorously, as if she was not the one who just laughed out loud.
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince’s face darkened:
“Is it funny?”
“Not bad ……”
Rapunzel nodded and rubbed her face slightly:
“Alright, alright, it’s just like what imperial brother said.
“There’s something to talk about, let’s talk slowly.
“Jiang Ran, your usual temper isn’t like this …… Why do you feel as if you were extraordinarily grumpy when you met your imperial brother and the others?
“You to our royal family but have opinions?”
“Can not dare to …… princess this hat buckle is too big, this kind of nonsense, a moment the big inner masters and want to come in to walk.”
He said, self-consciously unlocked the wine gourd on his waist and took a sip.
Golden Cicada Celestial Son sneered, this was another lapse of propriety before the king.
But his nose twitched and his brows furrowed slightly:
“What are you drinking?”
“Thousand Yummy Mountain Villa’s Indulgence Wine.”
Jiang Ran smacked his lips:
“Good wine indeed.”
“Outrageous!”
Golden Cicada Celestial Son was even angrier:
“The Thousand Yummy Villa clearly said that the annual production was only twenty-three jars, and all of them were sent to the Great House.
“How come you still have it in your hands?”
Jiang Ran thought for a moment and said:
“How should I help them talk so that they don’t count as deceiving the king?”
He asked this of the Eldest Princess.
The eldest princess thought for a moment and said:
“This is a bit troublesome, this is obviously deceiving the king.”
“Don’t, don’t, don’t, if Thousand Yun Mountain Villa is full of people, they won’t be able to drink this good wine in the future.”
Jiang Ran suddenly slapped his palm:
“By the way, it can be said that these twenty-three altars are the best of the best.
“The others that flowed into the rivers and lakes are all second-rate.
“The ones given to His Majesty are of course all the best, let’s just use this …… second best a little bit.
“How does Your Majesty feel about this reason?”
“…… I think, you think I’m a fool.”
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince waved his hand impatiently:
“Forget it, don’t be general with you guys.
“Continue with the matter of the Crown Prince ……
“Whether he is unwise or unkind.
“The matter of abolishing the crown prince, I have my own opinion, there is no reason to listen to you.
“But if there is really someone behind him to provoke, want to make the crown prince and you grudge.
“Then what this person has done, and what he or she is plotting behind, must all be pursued to the end!”
Jiang Ran stroked his chin:
“This matter is actually not difficult to figure out ……
“If you offend the Crown Prince, you will naturally have no good fruit to eat.
“Even if the Crown Prince can’t do anything about it, after this incident, I’m afraid there’s no place for me in the capital.
“Once I leave the capital, His Majesty will have to hire someone else to protect the Princess and go to the Green Kingdom.
“If this is the other party’s purpose ……”
Speaking here, Jiang Ran looked up at the Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince.
He then saw the Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince coldly say:
“Although this matter has been mostly finalized, the person accompanying you has yet to be discussed in detail above the court meeting.
“Those who know that you will be escorting the Jade Cicada to the Green Country are but a handful!”
“Already a palmful?”
Jiang Ran was surprised:
“Your mouth is leaking, Your Holiness? Can’t hide things so …… well don’t you hear that things are accomplished by secrecy and words are defeated by leakage.”
“Nonsense!”
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of water as he smelled the indulgent wine aroma from Jiang Ran’s wine gourd.
Although it was said to be the Nine to Five, as if it was easy to want anything.
But in reality everyone has their own difficulties, just like this Heavenly Son in front of him …… He can’t listen to himself at all when he eats and drinks on weekdays.
Like can not eat more, is worried about being detected by people who have a heart, and then specialize in this dish to do tricks.
Although the indulgence is good …… every year, there is also a quantity of twenty three altars.
But he can not drink a few cups.
Unless an excuse to invite a few civil servants and military generals into the palace to drink, which can only drink a little more.
But also can’t drink a few cups, have to be the eunuchs chatter, by the harem consorts to discourage.
What ‘more drink hurt the body’ a kind of reason, listen to the ears are cocooned.
In this case, Jiang Ran took one mouthful after another, he really couldn’t help but feel a little greedy.
Perhaps this swallowing sound is a bit big, Jiang Ran also heard.
He looked up at the Son of Heaven, and then looked at his own wine gourd.
A sudden realization dawned on him.
The son of heaven saw this, the heart suddenly gave birth to a few points of hope.
Jianghu people, generous and heroic.
Seeing me crave for wine, I should share some.
He turned his gaze and already started to look for the wine lamps in the imperial study.
As a result, when he turned back again, he saw that Jiang Ran was secretly hiding the wine gourd towards his back.
“……”
The words that Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince originally wanted to say could not be said for a moment.
All in his head was …… he was hiding the wine!
Screw the generosity and bravado of the jianghu people!
This asshole is a stingy!
“Then what?”
Rapunzel was listening to the attention, but it turned out that her brother suddenly ran out of words, and couldn’t help but ask a question.
As a result, she realized that he was staring wide-eyed with Jiang Ran again.
“What are you guys doing?”
The eldest princess wondered.
Jiang Ran immediately made the first move:
“He’s trying to steal my wine.”
“Nonsense! Do I not have any wine?
“Would rob you?”
Golden Cicada Celestial Son beat a dead horse.
Jiang Ran laughed:
“It’s true that …… although Indulgence High Song is all good wine.
“But the Nine to Five is definitely something you can drink.
“After all, even the head of the Mountain and Sea Association, Shen Tu Lie, was able to take the High Song Brew as the drink for tonight’s dinner, the Nine to Five can’t even be inferior to him, right?”
Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince froze again, then felt his teeth ache.
How could he, the son of a dynasty, be worse off than this bunch of jianghu pikers?
Then he heard Jiang Ran say:
“Don’t think about my wine first.
“First, tell me who you’re leaking this to?”
“……”
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince felt out of breath and took two deep breaths to calm down before saying:
“Daoyi Zong Patriarch, the current State Master, Dao Lacking Realist.
“Gong Chuanxi, the candidate of Wuwei, Zong Qingming, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and …… Yu Wen Sublime, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue.”
“It’s really just less than a palmful.”
Jiang Ran stroked his chin, thinking faintly:
“Daoyi Zong Patriarch, Wuwei Candidate, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Minister of the Household ……
“All of them are people with high positions of authority.
“Not bad not bad, speaking of which, I have not yet visited Dao Yi Zong since I arrived in the capital.
“Tomorrow I intend to make a trip to Daoyi Zong, but I wonder if this Dao Deficient Realist will see me?”
“With this matter of tonight in front of him, he certainly won’t avoid seeing me.”
Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince sneered:
“Tomorrow sen your book, this table of mine, I’m afraid it may not even be able to fit.”
“Oh.”
Jiang Ran nodded, then smiled:
“Speaking of which, what’s the point of senating me? It’s not like I’m a big official in your court.
“If you don’t see me as good, why don’t you go directly to me.”
“…… Going to die?”
Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince had no doubt at all that as long as this group of people dared to go to Jiang Ran, Jiang Ran would dare to kill them all alive.
This person even if it was regicide he dared, killing a few court officials is nothing!
“Your Holiness doesn’t have to think of me as this cruel.”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“Well, tonight busy until now, also tired …… we will go back first.
“Your Majesty also rest early, don’t let the concubines in the harem wait too long.
“Let’s go let’s go.”
Said turned around and left.
The eldest princess made a bow to the Golden Cicada Celestial Prince before following behind Jiang Ran.
Golden Cicada Celestial Son was furious again.
In the past, his own sister had turned around behind his own ass, but now she was following behind him ……
……
……
After leaving the imperial study, naturally the eldest princess led the way again.
As the two walked all the way out, Jiang Ran said to the Eldest Princess:
“How much do you know about this person, Yu Wen Plei?”
“You suspect him?”
The Eldest Princess glanced at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran let out a light laugh:
“There’s good news, do you want to hear it?”
“Tell me.”
“Yu Wenting’s high probability, is the Blood Cicada’s Scarlet Cicada Wings.”
Jiang Ran’s voice wasn’t loud, but it called the Princess’s heart to vibrate:
“Seriously?”
“Can’t be completely sure, but it’s very likely.”
Jiang Ran said:
“First of all, in Wu Qian Chong’s confession, he had once identified Yu Wen Ting.
“I tried …… him out today, and although he was well disguised, he still leaked a crack.
“At that time he was kneeling to worship the crown prince, and when he got up, I hit him with a peanut grain of rice.
“It wasn’t a particularly subtle maneuver, but if he didn’t know martial arts, he definitely couldn’t dodge it.
“But the result was interesting ……
“There was a difference of three inches between where I hit and where I was eventually hit!”
The Rapunzel’s mind was enlightened:
“He dodged, could have dodged, but then stopped after reacting.
“He is actually armed with martial arts!”
But when she said this, she frowned slightly:
“But even so, it doesn’t mean anything ……
“As the son of the Minister of the Household, even if he learns some martial arts to defend himself, it is also considered reasonable.”
“But there is a section ……”
Jiang Ran glanced at the eldest princess:
“He fell in love with you, and once mentioned more than once that if he could do martial arts, he would definitely join you in the jianghu and share your worries.
“But it turned out to be …… that he obviously has martial arts skills, but he has never traveled the rivers and lakes with you.”
“This also shows that he has never really fallen in love with this palace.”
The Eldest Princess let out a cold laugh:
“This palace grew up in the royal family, what kind of person hides what kind of mind, although may not be able to see through all, but at a glance, can also understand a seven or eight.
“He has only ambition for me, never affection.”
Jiang Ran stroked his chin and said:
“But actually to this point, it can’t mean anything ……
“You can say that he’s ambitious, that he knows martial arts, and that he hides them.
“But you can’t say he’s one of the Blood Cicada.
“But now …… your royal brother revealed the matter that I was going to escort you to the Green Country to only four people.
“As a result, there were people who secretly ruffled the crown prince’s feathers and wanted to ruin the matter.
“I think about it, if this thing can’t be done, it can only fit in with that Blood Cicada.
“How do you think, these four people, there may be blood cicadas of the senior.
“So this combination …… Yuwen Ting and Yuwen Pleiades, it stands out a bit.”
“It is indeed suspicious.”
The Eldest Princess said as she walked:
“However, if the matter involves the Minister of the Household, it’s not something that a princess like me can intervene in.
“Not even if this princess is the eldest princess …….”
“Didn’t expect you to.”
Jiang Ran murmured:
“Tomorrow, I should indeed make a trip to Daoyi Zong.”
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head and stopped walking.
The Eldest Princess froze when she saw this:
“What’s wrong?”
“Feeling it?”
Jiang Ran slowly closed his eyes.
“Feel what?”
The Eldest Princess only felt that he was puzzled.
“Someone is emitting sword intent.”
Jiang Ran reopened his eyes, which also seemed to carry three copies of sword marks:
“Interesting …… This should be Jian Wusheng’s sword.
“He’s inviting me to a battle with his sword intent!”
“What?”
The Eldest Princess was shocked.
She followed the direction Jiang Ran was looking, but there was nothing.
The dark night was silent and empty, how did Jiang Ran see that there was sword intent?
Unbeknownst to her, in Jiang Ran’s eyes, the flash of sword intent almost rose up to the sky, as if it had formed a substance.
The enormous sword intent condensed into a sword.
It hung upside down between heaven and earth just like this.
The sharpness of the sword was so sharp that it stirred the heart and soul.
Moreover, it wasn’t just Jiang Ran who felt it.
In the capital, there were also a few places where some people opened their eyes and looked up in the direction where the sword intent was located.
There were just some people whose complexion was slightly fluctuating, and then they closed their eyes and didn’t look at it.
There were also people who glanced at it and did what they were supposed to do.
There were also people who sighed and sighed with emotion:
“The rivers and lakes have waves ……”
Then no longer say more.
There were even people who directly flew out, intending to go and see the action.
At the same time, the old eunuch who was running wildly on the street, wanting to go find Jiang Ran, also gazed at that one sword light:
“What a great noise …… Jiang Ran will definitely be there, Lie’er, you hold on a little longer.”
Back to Jiang Ran’s end, the eldest princess looked at Jiang Ran:
“Are you going?”
“Together to see the bustle?”
Jiang Ran stretched out his hand.
Without even thinking, the Eldest Princess placed her hand in Jiang Ran’s palm:
“Then what are we waiting for?”
“Go!”
