Chapter 516.
The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and with them, Bai Yu Lou.
He was not able to perform the third move after all ……
Immortal stroked my top and tied my hair to receive longevity.
Unfortunately, what was obtained was not longevity but internal strength.
Thousands of years of internal force, in his meridians in full swing, every breath was like a thousand cuts added to his body.
He couldn’t bear it, those three moves of mastery, after using two moves, he had already exhausted everything.
The internal force was still …… there but, the person couldn’t.
His body is like a plate of scattered sand, along with Jiang Ran this shot fell, so with the smoke cloud dispersed.
The slanting sun in the sky was smoldering, and the sky was filled with a red haze.
Jiang Ran sat on his butt at the position beside Bai Yulou, looking up at this evening sun, and also gently let out a breath.
Footsteps gradually came from behind.
Jiang Ran turned around and grinned:
“All here?”
……
……
Things didn’t end immediately with Jiang Ran killing Bai Yulou.
There were still a lot of things to do.
The mess left behind by Candidate Wuwei needed to be cleaned up.
Normally speaking, this matter should be the Crown Prince’s contribution.
After all, the Son of Heaven was dying, and it was only natural and logical for the Crown Prince to oversee the country.
But the problem was, how could Candidate Wuwei leave behind such a person who would jeopardize his plans afterwards?
Although he didn’t die, he organized a crime and imprisoned him in the dungeon.
Under repeated torture, he had long since been disfigured.
While the Son of Heaven was certainly dying, the Crown Prince was almost dying.
Therefore, the son of heaven issued a decree, until he gets better, let the eldest princess supervise the affairs of state.
For a while, the eldest princess was busy flying.
In this courtroom, which some of them are colluding with the Wuwei candidate, which some of them are forced to have to from, from the civil ministers to the military generals, it is like going through a sieve like once.
Subsequent dispositions cannot yet be made across the board.
The king needs to weigh the pros and cons and pull the hearts and minds of the people.
One-size-fits-all is certainly simple, but also inevitably lead to the court within the weak, can not function.
Thus giving other countries the opportunity to take advantage of.
Therefore, even if the deepest part of the heart again how much want to this gang of traitors, a one-off annihilation …… also have to press the temperament, think of ways to weigh the pros and cons.
So that every day this fold that fold to see a non-stop, light the lamp boiling oil, bitter.
In addition, the capital up and down, is also a burst of chicken and dog jump.
Not to mention the fact that the entire Wuwei Candidate Mansion was chopped into eight petals by Jiang Ran, and in the end, a palm charge with Bai Yu Lou directly razed it to the ground, bringing much shock and panic to the people of the capital.
The experts from several other countries alone, whether or not they were the ones who appeared at the Wuwei Waiting House that day, there was no certainty.
In case there are still a few hidden scoundrels in the nooks and crannies, suddenly jumping out to do something wrong, then what’s wrong?
Therefore, the Department of Sword Execution came out in full force.
In conjunction with the local officials, they conducted a large-scale search.
It is wanted to other countries of the masters, all to find out.
In this process, there are Jianghu experts to cooperate with them.
After the return of Xuanyuan Yidao and Yan Wushuang, they naturally reorganized the hidden forces of the Blood Sword Hall and the Hundred Treasures Society.
The survivors of the Mountain and Sea Association also came to join.
For a while there was a great momentum.
When these two parties joined forces, they almost turned the entire capital upside down.
Not only found a few hidden in the dark, ready to wait for the opportunity to move the masters of other countries, but also turned out a lot of various types of information, handed over to the Princess, thus allowing the Princess to have a new understanding of the courtiers.
All in all, in a nutshell.
This next period of time, the capital is chaotic.
The good thing is that the people’s side of the appeasement is also appropriate, so that the court and the jianghu mess their, the people how to live their lives on how to live their lives.
And compared to the Princess’s busyness, Jiang Ran seems to have nothing to do.
Those who came to the capital earlier, he met them one by one.
Regardless of whether it was previously recognized, or not recognized ……
All of them pulled over and chatted for a bit.
Let this group of people have a realization of the present day devil religion.
The reason why they were able to have this opportunity to have a calm exchange, besides the reason why they were frightened by Jiang Ran and Bai Yulou that day, it was also because what Jiang Ran had done since he came out of the jianghu until now was really quite recognized.
Plus, he had favored the five major sword sects and had many entanglements with the seven sects’ experts.
The thirteen gangs needless to say, nowadays the blood knife hall almost spread nearly half of the power, if not Wu Wei wait to deal with them is in the capital, change the place, this old boy really take Xuanyuan a knife have no way.
And a宗两会……
Mountain and sea will Shen Tu Lie died, the disciples of the disciples flooded into the blood knife hall and hundred precious will.
Between the head of the Hundred Treasures Society and Jiang Ran, they were bosom buddies.
Of course, some people say that Yan Wushuang is Jiang Ran’s confidante ……
But no matter how you say it, anyway, the two were on good terms, and if you dared to take a shot at Jiang Ran, the Hundred Precious Guild would dare to make you lose your family’s fortune.
As for Dao Yi Zong.
The first thing the old patriarch, Dao Lacking Realist, said when he saw Jiang Ran was:
“What took you so long to come.”
Obviously anticipating that Jiang Ran would be able to come back, the relationship between the two was also shown in this sentence.
At this point, one clan and two associations, five swords and seven factions, thirteen gangs……
Regardless of the fact that there are people who are not willing to be with the Devil Sect, or don’t want to recognize Jiang Ran, don’t want to recognize the Devil Sect.
But at this time, can only pinch the nose to recognize.
The last straw that broke the camel’s back was the court’s attitude.
After the end of the day and the white jade building that battle, Jiang Ran went straight to the palace, to the son of heaven to diagnose the pulse, to determine that he is poisoned.
Since then, Jiang Ran also every two days, will go to the palace, to the son of heaven to pull out the poison.
The court has recognized the devil, what else can they say?
All of these things led to a very good result for Jiang Ran’s talks with the various factions.
Although the long speech said a lot, but it boils down to one sentence …… as long as you do not commit adultery, then we will coexist peacefully.
There is also a proposal that the name Demon Cult is really unappealing.
How about changing the name?
As a result, Jiang Ran firmly dismissed it.
The devil of the Devil Cult is the root, what is sought in the heart, the Heavenly Devil Great Self.
He can order the devil disciples to keep a bottom line in their hearts, that is, not to kill innocents indiscriminately.
But he couldn’t erase the fundamentals.
That would be putting the cart before the horse.
Demonism is demonism, no matter how you look at it, demonism is not ashamed of the devil, on the contrary, it is honored …… This is the demonism.
The crowd saw this, naturally did not force.
On the contrary, there is a new understanding of the devil religion.
As for whether the feeling brought about by this realization was good or bad, it didn’t matter.
And out of all the conversations, the exchange with Gu Kaiyan was the most special.
When others looked at Jiang Ran, no matter if they were affectionate or wary, they at least suppressed their tempers.
Even those who were secretive about this demonic sect were just taut, and when they saw Jiang Ran’s smiling face, even if they were reluctant, they had to squeeze out a cry-like smile.
Only Gu Kaiyan …… that nose is not a nose, eyes are not eyes.
Humming with anger, the first sentence that came up was:
“When is the marriage?”
“As soon as possible, as soon as possible.”
Jiang Ran hurriedly said.
“…… Less give me sloppy, don’t think that you are the devil of the day, so you can bully my disciple.
“I told you earlier, I know I’m not as good as you in martial arts, but if you dare to bully my disciples, I’ll dare to fight you!
“Do you still remember these words?”
“Remember remember remember!”
Even though Jiang Ran was a Devil Sovereign, he couldn’t help but sweat on his brain in the face of Gu Kaiyan’s aggressiveness.
Gu Kaiyan looked at him with a lowered brow, not as rampant as a Demon Lord, but she also collected herself.
Her heart is actually the same as a clear mirror …… Jiang Ran will not care about a Gu Kaiyan, much less because of a Gu Kaiyan and this low profile.
The one who could make Jiang Ran care was Ye Shocking Frost.
He was able to make Jiang Ran lower his posture like this, disregarding the majesty of the Devil Sovereign, because he was Ye Shingshuang’s master.
But that was enough for Gu Kaiyan.
The fact that he was able to be this polite to himself because of Ye Jingshang meant that he cared extremely about Ye Jingshang in his heart.
As an elder, what he wanted was nothing more than such an attitude.
Gu Kaiyan looked at Jiang Ran for a couple of moments and suddenly sighed, his tone softening:
“Senior brother asked me to bring you a message.”
“Master Sage Pavilion?”
Jiang Ran smiled, “What did Master Sage have to say that he wanted you to tell me?”
“He said that …… the top and bottom of the Liuyun Sword Sect are always at the beck and call.”
Gu Kaiyan said with a straight face.
Jiang Ran nodded slightly:
“Thanks a lot, I know.”
“…… You shouldn’t be too careless either.”
Gu Kaiyan said after a moment of contemplation:
“Now that you are at the core of this rainstorm, the storm is sweeping through, even if your martial arts skills are overwhelming, you must be careful and mindful of yourself, and you must not take it lightly.
“Disregarding yourself, you must also think more about the people around you.”
Jiang Ran nodded:
“The late generation has taken note of it.”
“Hmmm ……”
After this conversation ended, the bustling capital city gradually calmed down.
……
……
Princess Mansion.
Jiang Ran sat on the bank and fished, but with the fishing rod in his hand and his straw hat blocking his front face, the whole person looked a bit lazy.
“Jiang Taigong fishing, willing to be hooked?”
A voice came from behind himself.
Jiang Ran didn’t turn around either, the voice came from under the straw hat:
“Nothing to do, improve the food.
“I’ll treat you to fish later?”
“What kind of delicious food is not available in the Princess’s residence? Do you still need to do it yourself?”
Ruan Yuqing stood by Jiang Ran’s side, looking down at him.
Jiang Ran casually removed his straw hat and met his gaze, and between the glances, they smiled at each other.
Then he heard Jiang Ran say:
“What have you been busy with these past few days?”
“Busy all over the capital looking for other country’s experts …… Busy flying pigeons with the division to discuss how to deal with you, the world’s number one great devil.”
“How is the final result?”
“The result is that …… the division let me clear the side of the king, chopping the devil, but also this universe a clear sky!!!”
Ruan Yuqing said at the end, but laughed out himself:
“However, I said that this devil is not bad, as long as he does not make any moves that will harm the living world, might as well let him get away with this.”
“In that case I have to thank Miss Ruan for being merciful and not killing him.”
Jiang Ran said as he clasped his fists repeatedly.
“Thank you is not necessary …… Who let me recognize people back then, knowing a future Demon Zun like you.
“So much so that I know you as a person, and it’s clear that you are by no means the kind of person who is cruel and murderous ……
“Otherwise, today you and I may not have the opportunity to get along frankly face to face like this.
“Maybe, the moment I see you, I this soft water sword has already sheathed.”
“Fortunately fortunately, recognized you …… in advance or else, would there be peace for me this devil today?”
The two people’s words came to this point, and they smiled at each other again.
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, as if he suddenly remembered something, suddenly stood up and unbuckled his belt.
Ruan Yuqing’s eyes widened as she watched carefully, as if she was afraid of missing something.
It wasn’t until Jiang Ran took the belt in his hands that he noticed that one end of the belt was a sword hilt.
Ruan Yuqing was a bit unspoken disappointed for a moment, followed by a single beautiful eyebrow:
“This is?”
“I went to the Green Country earlier, and was fortunate enough to be treated to a night’s stay in the Imperial Palace,” she said.
“That night, I had nothing to do, so I went out to stroll around, and happened to see a large house that was well-maintained, so I went in to visit.
“Inside a lot of exotic treasures are unowned, and happened to see this soft sword ……
“Thought of the soft girl used is also this kind of weapon, then took it by hand.
“I was thinking of entrusting someone to send to the Water Moon Sword Sect, counting it as a gift, not in vain you and I get acquainted with a destiny.
“Unfortunately, after returning to Golden Cicada, all kinds of things came one after another, and what’s more, I didn’t expect that you actually came to the capital as well.”
Jiang Ran said with a smile:
“These past few days, I’ve been trying to find an opportunity to give this sword to you.
“In order not to delay my efforts to go back to my room to fetch it, I used it as a belt …… Today, since you happened to come to me, it’s sort of here.”
He said, handing over this sword to Ruan Yuqing.
“I just don’t know, will you like it?”
Ruan Yuqing reached out and took the sword, and with a shake of his hand, with a buzzing sound, the soft sword came out of its sheath, like a spirit snake dancing.
Green awns spread out all over the place, tracing a path and spreading on the ground.
“Good sharp soft sword.”
Ruan Yuqing reached out and gently wiped the blade:
“Yuliu?”
“Uh-huh.”
Jiang Ran nodded, this sword was called the Jade Willow Sword.
The two words were right above the sword.
Ruan Yuqing looked at the sword, not knowing what to think in her heart, after a long time she smiled:
“Then I’ll smile and accept it.”
“Aiya, then I have to thank Miss Ruan for not minding it.”
“Since I don’t even mind anymore, how about you do one thing for me in?”
“…… What thing?”
“Coming to the capital for such a long time, I haven’t had a good stroll, today you have nothing to do anyway, why don’t you accompany me within the capital, and take a little tour?”
“Oh?”
Jiang Ran looked at the fishing rod, as well as the fishing line hanging in the water, sighed and said:
“It seems that today is not a good day for fishing …… Then no more fishing, where does Miss Ruan want to go? I will accompany you.”
“Then follow me.”
Ruan Yuqing put away the Jade Willow Sword and turned around.
Jiang Ran then had no choice but to follow her.
However, when they said they were strolling, they were really strolling.
Walking down the street, Ruan Yuqing was like a little girl who had never been to the capital before, liking everything she saw and wanting everything she saw.
But she didn’t want to spend money herself, but looked at Jiang Ran with bated breath.
Jiang Ran had no choice but to give her silver.
Sugar gourds on the street, paper windmills in the hands of vendors, the old master pinched sugar man, and a variety of rouge and water powder.
This latter Jiang Ran actually didn’t quite understand.
Although the time he spent with Ruan Yuqing wasn’t too long, he knew that this girl rarely used such things.
But today she not only asked Jiang Ran to buy it for her, but she also bought quite a few.
The two of them had been wandering around since the morning, and at noon they had eaten in the middle of a restaurant in the capital.
After the meal, they continued to wander …… until the evening.
Unfortunately, there was no temple fair tonight, and it wasn’t a festival either, even if this was the foot of the heavens, the night of such a day wouldn’t be too lively.
Jiang Ran had thought that it was also time to call home.
But Ruan Yuqing didn’t let him go.
Instead, she pulled him to an inn and opened a room.
Ordered wine and food and set the table.
“I’ve let you accompany me for this day, so this meal is even my treat for you.”
Ruan Yuqing poured Jiang Ran a glass of wine.
Jiang Ran looked at her suspiciously for a couple moments:
“I always feel that you are a bit strange today …… We are certainly reunited after a long time, and your character is not so bad that you have become like this, right?
“But there is something on your mind?”
“Yes.”
Ruan Yuqing looked at Jiang Ran with a smile:
“I want to get you drunk today.”
“…… And then?”
“Then?”
Ruan Yuqing took out a book from her bosom, flipped it open and looked at it twice, followed by reciting two sentences that children can’t listen to.
Jiang Ran cried and laughed for a moment:
“You’re still flipping through books at all times here?
“That said, you still read this kind of thing every day?”
“The mountains are boring, there has to be something to pass the hard days.”
Ruan Yuqing said with a smile:
“Are you afraid?”
“You’re not afraid, what am I afraid of?”
Jiang Ran was dumbfounded and raised his glass:
“It’s just that, whether you can get me drunk or not, it still depends on your skills.”
“Wine doesn’t get …… people drunk.”
Ruan Yuqing’s eyes were slightly mesmerized as she looked at Jiang Ran:
“What do you think?”
As the saying goes, the more you look at a beauty under the lamp, the more energized you become.
The glow of the candlelight wasn’t too bright, reflecting the person in front of her, and it was quite mesmerizing.
Jiang Ran gently exhaled:
“Ruan girl …… you this …… gaze burning, call for panic.”
“Aiya, did it scare you?”
Ruan Yuqing said with a smile:
“It seems like I should put this fox tail away …… Otherwise, what should I do if I scare you away?
“Come, drink.”
“Good, drink.”
Jiang Ran possessed and she gently touched it.
The wine is good wine, the person is a beauty.
Gossip two or three words, sometimes it is after the goodbye to see and hear, and sometimes talk about the old days when they used to walk the river together.
Perhaps Ruan Yuqing is right, the wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk.
Jiang Ran also do not know when, on the dazed lying down.
Ruan Yuqing leaned in front of the bed, quietly looking at him.
After a long time, she suddenly stood up and went to the table to write with a pen.
In a moment, a letter was written and placed on the table.
Her footsteps were a bit shaky, and she barely made it to Jiang Ran’s front before reaching out to Jiang Ran’s chest and groping around for a bit before finally stuffing the letter into his arms.
Then she stood up and looked at him fixedly again.
Followed by a smile:
“I really should have done it in one go, I hope I won’t regret it in the future, let’s go, let’s go ……”
After saying that, she walked to the table, put away all the trinkets that Jiang Ran bought for her today, one by one, and held them as if they were treasures, staggered to the door, casually pushed it open, and carefully closed it again.
Inside the room, there is no more sound.
Only Jiang Ran silently opened his eyes, rubbed his head, reached into his pocket, the letter out ……
