Chapter 257.
Duke Jin felt a lump in his chest.
People are not spit out, he is not spit out.
Can not spit out can only be swallowed down, swallowing the effort to smooth a mouthful of tea.
Then a long breath.
His identity is extraordinary, this walk in the jianghu is another reason.
And for the Jianghu chivalrous masters, he admired for a long time.
The reason why he came to meet Jiang Ran and them was because just now the old slave at home told him that Jiang Ran was a top master.
That’s why he had the heart to fold his knuckles and make friends with them.
As a result, after talking for half a day, every word was blocked back.
He was so depressed that he couldn’t restrain himself.
Angrily, he was about to get up.
As soon as he looked up, he realized that Jiang Ran was looking at himself.
Jin Gongzi froze, his heart suddenly flooded with thoughts, could it be that he finally saw that this Gongzi is extraordinary, up to the heart of friendship?
Immediately, he sat upright, and also straightened his lapel and hair.
With just the right smile on his face, he was about to open his mouth when he heard Jiang Ran say:
“The tea you’re drinking, I bought it.”
“……”
Screw the great master!
Duke Jin’s face went white with anger.
What kind of expert is this petty? What kind of expert could be so petty and stingy?
He hollered and stood up, glaring angrily at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran was surprised:
“Drinking my tea and still wanting to hit me?”
Tang Yuyi and Ye Jingxue both looked at him slyly, as if they were also wide-eyed.
Duke Jin sulked for a moment and sat down indignantly:
“This Duke drank the tea you bought, the big deal is to compensate you for a pot!”
“This tea of mine can be expensive.”
Jiang Ran opened his mouth indifferently.
Duke Jin almost laughed in anger:
“This tea of yours, didn’t you also buy it from the shopkeeper’s side?
“How expensive can it be?”
“One hundred taels of silver.”
Jiang Ran said casually.
Duke Jin was dumbfounded, then furious:
“You’re asking for an exorbitant price.”
“Forget it if you don’t give it.”
Jiang Ran sighed: “Ai, the world is difficult ah …… noble family gentleman tea does not give silver, I such as hanging out in the jianghu coarse people, can only break the teeth to the stomach ah.”
“……”
Jin Gongzi heard him shouting pitifully, the voice is also getting louder and louder, immediately face red, and hastily probe left and right to find that there are already people vaguely looking towards this side.
Immediately reached out to that old slave, the old slave had no choice but to pull out a one hundred taels of silver ticket, after the Golden Duke took it, he didn’t even look at it and stuffed it towards Jiang Ran’s heel:
“Quickly, quickly, quickly don’t say it, this eunuch give money is not it?”
Jiang Ran slightly smiled, casually took the silver ticket, and after glancing at it, his eyebrows were raised.
When he looked up again, he met the eyes of the old slave of the Golden Prince.
There was a slight smirk in the old slave’s eyes, but there was also some warning.
Jiang Ran laughed dumbly, casually stuffed the silver ticket into his sleeve pocket, reached out and pushed the pot of tea in front of that Jin Gongzi:
“This one is yours …… Little second brother, another pot.”
“Good le.”
The little second brother immediately promised a sound, and soon gave Jiang Ran another pot.
Just about to pour the tea, that Jin Gongzi had already poured a cup for Jiang Ran:
“Drink mine, I’m expensive.”
Tang Yuyi almost burst out in joy.
Ye Jingxue also pursed the corners of her lips, it was really this Jin gongzi’s words that were hard for people to refute.
One hundred taels of silver per pot, this tea was indeed expensive.
Seeing that Jiang Ran didn’t stop him, Duke Jin then smiled, poured Jiang Ran tea, and then looked up at him, only to find that his gaze wasn’t even on his own body.
Instead, he crossed over and looked in another direction.
Somewhat puzzled, Duke Jin followed his gaze and saw that two people were walking into another tea shop.
One of these two people was a young male, full of smiles as if he was looking at everything with novelty.
The other was a somewhat older woman, with a beautiful face and a black dress that added dignity.
Only her face was cold and scary.
Especially when she looked at the man beside her, it was as if she couldn’t eat him alive, and there was a deep hatred.
Duke Jin instantly felt that these two people were also very interesting.
Looking back at Jiang Ran:
“You know them?”
“There have been …… a few encounters.”
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows slightly.
This woman Jiang Ran did recognize, Wu Niangzi of the Left Dao Zhuang.
In the battle of Sunset Ping, Wu Niangzi and Jin Sanding, two old acquaintances, both participated in the battle, and Jin Sanding fell into his hands, while this Wu Niangzi, was taken captive by a young man.
Since then there is no news, but did not expect to see again in this Jin Yangfu.
The young man beside her should be the one who took her away at that time.
Yet, he didn’t know what kind of origin it was.
“So, an acquaintance?”
Duke Jin smiled at his words:
“I’ll go say hello.”
“?”
Jiang Ran was dumbfounded, not to mention whether he and Wu Niangzi were familiar, even if they were familiar, is it your turn to greet them?
But he didn’t wait for him to open his mouth, Duke Jin had already stood up and walked towards those two people.
Then the group of people behind him, holla, all followed.
This group of people was so crowded that they were looking around with a wary look in their eyes, looking at no one like a good person, but letting this young man do whatever he wanted to do.
Jiang Ran re-took out the silver ticket.
Tang Yuyi and Ye Jingxue looked along, and saw Ye Jingxue’s eyes somewhat confused, while Tang Yuyi smiled:
“Sure enough, it’s a royal seal, only someone from the royal family would be this unscrupulous, right?”
“When people of the royal family come to the people, they are naturally unscrupulous.”
Jiang Ran casually stuffed this silver ticket back in:
“However, his appearance in this Jinyang Mansion, was it intentional, or was it just a coincidence?”
The Heavenly Que wanted to lure the Green Kingdom to attack the Jinyang Mansion, this was a great event that splashed the heavens.
The Golden Cicada Royal Family, which should be in the capital, has appeared in the borderland.
To say that it is a coincidence, it is difficult to convince people.
But to say is intentional, just by virtue of this person, and can not change what situation?
With this thought in his mind, he saw that the young man had already arrived in front of Niangzi Wu and the others.
The distance was too far, so Jiang Ran didn’t hear what they said clearly.
However, he and another young man were talking and laughing happily, and seemed to know each other at first sight.
Mr. Goodbye Jin reached out his hand and pointed to Jiang Ran’s side.
When Niangzi Wu and Jiang Ran looked at each other, their whole body shivered, at the same time, the young man who was traveling with her had already stood up, wanting to come over towards Jiang Ran’s side.
Niangzi Wu was a bit reluctant, and was finally dragged and brought over by the young man.
“This male has brought your friend.”
Duke Jin looked as if he wanted to collect a reward.
Jiang Ran glanced at him before settling his gaze on Niangzi Wu:
“Long time no see.”
Niangzi Wu looked at him with nothing but despair in her eyes.
Taking a deep breath at the end:
“Where’s Jin Sanding?”
“Dead.”
Jiang Ran spoke softly, “It’s been dead for a long time ……”
When Duke Jin heard these two words, his eyes glazed over, looking at this situation, it didn’t look like he had a friendship, but rather like he had an enmity.
Wu Niangzi’s breathing became ragged all of a sudden:
“Who killed him?”
“Me.”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“After all, he was on the Sword Execution Division’s list, so if he fell into my hands, how could he survive?”
In fact, if it was purely a matter of taking the Golden Three Tripods in exchange for the bounty, he didn’t have to die.
It was just a pity that he knew about Jiang Ran carrying the Jiao Tail.
In that case, he had to die.
At least at that moment in time, those things that had not yet happened in the East County Mansion as well as the Meng family, Jiao Wei still had to do more to hide, and having an extra mouth like Jin Sanding was not favorable to the current situation.
Therefore, he only had one way to die.
Wu Niangzi didn’t feel surprised, but only clenched her teeth fiercely:
“Before he died, did he say anything?”
“Said that.”
Jiang Ran nodded:
“He instructed me to find you and make sure that you are safe.”
Wu Niangzi’s emotions instantly surged upwards, both hands trembling slightly, her eyes closing tightly, but she couldn’t stop the tears from falling.
Only after waiting for this wave of uncontrollable emotions to pass did she then reach out and wipe a hand on her face, opening her eyes to look viciously at Jiang Ran:
“You didn’t look!!!”
“Between me and him, we are enemies, not friends, and between me and you, isn’t it the same?
“I took his life, so how would I listen to him to find you?”
Jiang Ran smiled, “But nowadays, it seems that Niangzi Wu is living a pretty good life, since Duke Jin invited you over, let’s sit down and have a cup of tea.”
Niangzi Wu had the intention of not sitting down, but she ended up being pressed on the shoulder by the young man beside her.
The entire person involuntarily sat down on the stool.
Niangzi Wu turned back angrily:
“You!!!”
The young man ignored her and sat down beside her, smiling at Jiang Ran:
“I’ve seen you before when we were on the Sunset Ping.”
Jiang Ran nodded:
“Haven’t asked for advice yet?”
“Wu Di!”
The young man clasped his fist and arched his hand.
Jiang Ran froze, before he smiled dryly:
“With a name like brother, I’m afraid it’s inconvenient to walk the rivers and lakes.”
Wu Di scratched his head:
“That’s the reason, that’s why I don’t dare to declare my name on weekdays.
“In fact, this name or I later gave myself a …… hometown name in this side with, is really inconvenient.”
“Oh?”
Jiang Ran froze and subconsciously asked:
“Flute clan?”
Wu Di’s eyes widened all of a sudden, then he looked down at himself all over:
“Is it obvious?”
“Not obvious on the outside ……”
Jiang Ran shook his head:
“It’s just that the name is a bit obvious.”
“…… Looks like it’s really necessary to change the name.”
Wu Di whispered.
Jin Gongzi listened with a puzzled face, was about to open his mouth to ask, when he felt a strong force coming, a look up, but it was his own old slave who made a move and dragged himself behind him.
Looking around again, he realized that the face of every person around him, was extremely ugly.
What’s more, the hands holding the swords were vaguely trembling.
Duke Jin froze and poked his head out from the side of that old slave’s shoulder:
“What kind of clan is the Flute Clan? What are you guys so nervous for?”
“No need to be nervous, no need to be nervous.”
Wu Di, on the other hand, hurriedly waved his hands:
“There are too many misunderstandings about my Flute Clan in the Jianghu, in fact, my Flute Clan is not as scary as everyone imagines.”
Only his words did not have a good effect.
The old slave at the head of the group not only didn’t let down his guard because of his words, but instead became more worried.
After pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth and said:
“My son doesn’t know the depths, if I have offended you, please forgive me.
“If the Young Warrior has exerted any means on my family’s son, please also be magnanimous.”
“No.”
Wu Di shook his head:
“Duke Jin and I are like old friends at first sight, and we have no grudges in the distant past, so it’s fine to exert any means on him?”
Golden Duke also nodded his head repeatedly:
“That’s right, the two of us ……”
Just as the words came out, a flash of blackness suddenly surfaced on his face.
Abruptly spraying out a mouthful of blood, both eyes closed and tumbled over.
That old slave instantly glared with both eyes rounded and shouted angrily under his breath:
“Take down!!!”
Behind the crowd although shocked not chaotic, choking and clanking knives and soldiers sheathed, straight to take Wu Di.
Wu Di was also baffled, he came over in addition to because Jin Gongzi was very enthusiastic and made him feel good, but also because he had seen Jiang Ran when he was on the Sunset Ping.
He knew that this was a big shot in Jianghu.
Wanted to come over to make some friendship ……
Therefore, he had never exerted any means on this Golden Duke, and he simply had no reason to do such a thing either.
Who would have thought that this Golden Duke would be so uncouth, spitting out blood when he said he would, and passing out when he said he would.
Seeing that the swordsmen had arrived in front of him, Wu Di couldn’t just stand by and die, so he immediately had to put up a fight.
The old slave, on the other hand, hands holding the golden son, hands and feet to check the situation, however, after half a day of checking, there is no gain.
He could only place his eyes on Wu Di who was under siege.
Although it can be seen that Wu Di is very restrained in his actions, but once something really happened to the Golden Prince, it would be a big deal.
Therefore this old slave did not dare to relax and spoke in a deep voice:
“This young warrior, my son is a thousand gold, nothing can be lost.
“What exactly have you done to him, please tell us the truth, otherwise, don’t blame the old man for being impolite!!!”
He was able to be barely composed at first, and when he said it later, there was a hint of sharpness in his tone of voice amidst the urgency.
Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi Ye Jingxue and the others glanced at each other.
All of them were pondering.
And at the same time, Dong Qingcheng, Li Xiuwu and the others were also attracted by the situation over here, each holding their arms and watching the fun there.
The right and wrong of the jianghu, it’s best not to get involved easily.
Even if you want to see injustice, you should at least find out the cause and effect.
Wu Di was speechless:
“This thing, really is not under the doing of ……
“This …… this is simply an unmitigated disaster.
“You guys must not make a move, otherwise, I can’t keep my feelings!”
“You dare!?”
That old slave’s words to this point, is also messed up, reaching out to place that Jin Gongzi on the side, the figure of a shake has already since the crowd to weave through.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Wu Di.
Arms show, a wave of wind will be surrounded by tables and chairs all rolled flying, followed by two palms in the air a turn, sent out in the trend.
Wu Di heard this wind sound is not right, where still dare to give way?
Between the inner breath running, the crowd present seemed to hear the sound of some foreign insects chirping.
Onlookers hear this sound is no harm, but Wu Niangzi issued a muffled grunt, the corner of the mouth immediately there will be blood seeped out.
Speaking late but really fast, Wu Di’s two palms came out, already met with that old slave’s palms in one place.
Rumble!
Two people astral gas turbulence, surrounded by three feet range, the sound of bursting is endless.
The tea house was considered to be in bad luck, the entire place completely collapsed, and the surrounding tables were directly shattered by the two people’s astral winds.
There were even some that had a touch of greenish color floating on them.
Wu Di looked around, his face was unsightly and he could not help but shout:
“My internal breath is poisonous, all things that are greenish are not to be touched …… poof!!!”
A sentence to the end, in the end is leaked internal interest, was the old slave internal force can take advantage of, broke open the meridians suffered internal injuries.
After a mouthful of blood sprayed out, the whole person is even more atrophied.
Want to fight back, but where can?
As the saying goes, a drum of energy, and then decline, three times exhaustion.
After he gave up his breath, the old slave’s internal breath is a constant source of ferocity, he wanted to regroup again, but there is no such opportunity.
Then can only be that old slave internal pressure, will be his whole person pushed uncontrollably backward.
Where the two passed, there were constant explosions.
After retreating a full seven or eight feet away like this, that old slave angrily shouted:
“Still not quick enough to say, what exactly did you cast on my son?”
“I …… I didn’t ……”
Wu Di gritted his teeth and firmly denied.
“Good!!!”
Seeing this, that old slave’s foot gave a beat, and with a change in the strength of his two palms, he directly shook Wu Di out.
Wu Di’s figure fell to the ground, want to climb up is also powerless.
The old slave did not care about this, flying step forward, was about to hold the young man’s throat.
A hand reached out from the slant, gently clasped and grabbed his wrist, only to hear a voice come out:
“A little bit can’t see ……
“The old man is not acting a bit too arbitrarily?”
The old slave looked up obediently, and the person who struck was none other than Jiang Ran.
The old slave frowned slightly:
“Young warrior has something to teach me?”
“I don’t dare.”
Jiang Ran gently shook his head:
“It’s just that I feel that there might be something else going on with this matter.
“This Wu Di and I can be considered to have met for the first time, yet I can see that this person is pure of heart, and even though he cultivates poisonous techniques, he is not willing to hurt people easily.
“He was able to open his voice at the critical time of fighting with you lest the bystanders be victimized by the poison in his internal breath.
“And will not be to a just know people …… under this hard hand?
“You and its fight should understand, his internal strength may be slightly inferior to you a chip, however, its people martial arts in a different way, really move to hand, deer dead who hand is not yet known.
“If he does not open his mouth to say that sentence, you want to take him down, I’m afraid it’s not so easy.”
That old slave frowned:
“I’m afraid that there are calculations hidden in this situation!”
Jiang Ran nodded:
“But there is another question …… If he is really deliberate, want to kill your son, and why let this poison issued on the spot.
“The world knows ……”
He said here, glanced at lying on the ground, face like gold paper Jin Gongzi a glance, feel this said a little too much, then carefully worded:
“You and I both know that the Flute Clan is good at parasites, and their methods are out of this world.
“If he wanted to kill someone, he could have placed the compulsion today for three years before letting it break out.
“Why put himself in this dangerous situation?
“Therefore, as I see it, it is better for the old man to be merciful.
“In case the poison of your family’s male son, it is not him who has placed …… the poison, it is not possible to say that he will have to save his life.”
The other just let it be, after the last sentence into the ear, this old slave’s face suddenly clouded over.
Jiang Ran laughed lightly:
“You can think about it, your son is afraid that there is not so much time to wait.”
