Chapter 353.

“Eh eh eh eh!!!”
Seeing that Jiang Ran was about to leave with a knife in his hand, the eldest princess hurriedly jumped out from the desk case and pulled him back:
“Don’t be impulsive!
“After all, that’s my own brother.”
“Your own brother can’t renege on a debt and not pay it!
“What’s more, that’s your own brother and not my own brother.”
Jiang Ran narrowed his eyes:
“We’re a small business, doing the business of licking blood.
“If he dares to renege on his debt, he’s asking for my life.
“If he wants my life, I’ll take his. That’s reasonable enough!
“What’s more, isn’t the Princess furious and furious because of this?
“Since that’s the case, then in my opinion, how about we just kill him and let the Rapunzel take his place?
“Haven’t you already said that there were precedents of women ascending to the throne as emperors in previous dynasties as well?
“Since the place where you live is called Sword Sounding House, it is just right that you should sound out with your sword and astonish the world with a single act!
“When the great event is accomplished, I will personally go to the Qing Kingdom to kill the Qing Emperor and relieve you of the Qing Kingdom’s worries.
“And then go to the country of Li, kill the emperor of the country of Li, so that this two countries are in chaos, you can take advantage of the situation, we big deal in the future to unify the world, you see how?”
“I see …… how about we skip the first link, how about the rest as usual?”
A voice suddenly came from one side, and with a creak, a person came out of the wooden cabinet.
This is a middle-aged man, forty or fifty years of age, wearing a simple body, but can not block a noble atmosphere.
It was just that he was smiling a bit awkwardly at this time:
“After all, it’s better not to do things like killing the emperor when you can.”
Jiang Ran looked at this sudden person, and then looked at the eldest princess, and let out a light laugh:
“So, which play is this singing?
“Should I kneel down and shout Long Live Your Majesty, or should I pretend I don’t know, and let’s go within the Imperial City again?
“Let this dragon chair above, change a butt?”
The eldest princess subconsciously glanced back at the tip of her buttocks, gently coughed, and said to the middle-aged man:
“Imperial brother, this is a reckless man from the jianghu who doesn’t know the rules.
“You also let it go, nowadays you don’t have a great internal expert by your side, I guess it’s useless even if you have one.
“Piss him off, he really dares to chop off your dog’s head.”
“Unbridled.”
The middle-aged man’s eyes crossed:
“How can a grand princess of a dynasty talk such nonsense.
“This head of mine, how did it become a dog’s head?
“Then what are you as my sister, who shares the same mother as me?”
After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Ran and smiled faintly:
“Frightened God Sword Jiang Ran, you are a name that I have heard of even if I have lived in the palace for a long time.
“Alright, you don’t have to be formal, I’m making a private visit today just to see you.
“Red tape, can be exempted.”
“……”
Jiang Ran was speechless for a while, he hadn’t planned to salute either.
After entering the door, he realized that there was someone hiding in this cabinet.
Between these three words with the Eldest Princess, Jiang Ran had already guessed who this hidden person was.
Therefore, these words were not only intentionally to tease the Eldest Princess, but also said to this present Golden Cicada Prince of Heaven.
As expected, after hearing it, this person couldn’t hide anymore.
Jiang Ran casually dragged over a chair and sat down, picking up the cup of tea he had just had:
“Still, which show is this?”
The Eldest Princess was about to open her mouth, but the Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince had already reached out to stop it.
The Eldest Princess naturally gave up her position and invited her brother to sit down.
Seeing this Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince’s gaze looking straight at Jiang Ran, his eyes were deep, seemingly wanting to see through all the secrets in his body.
Jiang Ran raised his head, and although there was nothing tit-for-tat, his eyes met, and he was not letting go.
Looking up at the king, he intended to assassinate the king and kill him!
If this was above the court, under the siege of a court full of civil and military personnel.
This will be shouted to take down, guarantee that immediately someone must jump out, Jiang Ran captured, pulled to the noon gate beheading.
Of course, can do that is another matter.
Now it was in the middle of the Eldest Princess’s residence, within the bedroom of Eldest Princess Shan Yu Cicada, so naturally it didn’t matter.
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince sighed after looking at Jiang Ran for a long time:
“Too young……. It would be good if you were a few years older.”
“Hm?”
Jiang Ran froze:
“What does His Holiness mean by this?”
Asking such a blunt question?
The Golden Cicada Emperor was dumbfounded.
As the Emperor, when did he ever give explanations for his words and actions on a regular basis?
Often, it was the people below who speculated on the Holy Intent.
If the speculation is right, naturally, it will be an increase in rank and a promising future.
Speculate on the wrong, that will have to be bad luck.
When the official inside the doorway is too much …… can not have any one person, can in the emperor finished a sentence, ask the emperor face to face, you this is what do you mean?
This is not even like words.
After the Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince laughed, he glanced at the eldest princess:
“If you were a few years older, this throne of the emperor’s son-in-law would be yours.
“Now that you’re this young, and have such a good appearance, and your martial arts skills are this brilliant, it’s really too much of an injustice to let you be this emperor’s son-in-law.”
“Imperial brother!!!”
The eldest princess crossed her eyebrows:
“Think carefully before you speak!!!”
“Fine, fine, fine.”
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince gently waved his hand and said after thinking for a moment:
“Before the Jade Cicada ever entered the palace, I had already heard about her experiences.
“But when she really waited for her to arrive at the palace and explained everything that had happened, to be honest, even if she was standing right in front of me, I was still afraid of the aftermath.
“Jiang Ran, although you are a jianghu reckless, but first saved this full sister of mine.
“Subsequently, in the midst of ten thousand troops, you captured Hou Ning of the Changyang Army.
“More all the way to escort the eldest princess safely back to the capital ……
“This some as, do not talk about the merits, do not talk about the court, do not talk about imperial power.
“Simply as a brother, I am no matter how grateful you are not too much.
“And as the Golden Cicada Son of Heaven, I would like to ask you, what reward do you plan to ask for?”
After saying that, seeing that Jiang Ran was about to open his mouth, he hastily added another sentence:
“Think about it.”
“Anything?”
Jiang Ran asked.
Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince raised his eyebrows:
“Anything!”
With that, he glanced at the Eldest Princess thoughtfully.
The Eldest Princess was dumbfounded and skimmed her lips, clearly full of disbelief.
Then he heard Jiang Ran laugh:
“Then give me the silver that should be given to me, eighty-seven thousand taels! By the way, one thousand taels of it is owed by your son.
“It’s only natural that the son owes a debt and the old man pays it back.”
“……”
Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince felt a bit of toothache.
However, he still reached into his pocket and took out a bunch of silver tickets:
“It was already prepared a long time ago.”
He said and handed it to Jiang Ran.
Several prompts began to brush the screen in an instant.
However, he had experienced this kind of battle so many times that he had long been able to remain unmoving.
The habitual cover-up was to look down and count the money.
Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince was dumbfounded again when he saw this scene.
This money was given to him personally by himself, the Nine to Five, and he even had to count it?
When he glanced at the Eldest Princess, he realized that the Eldest Princess was scowling at him.
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince sighed, not knowing for a moment whether this was good or bad.
The Eldest Princess said that Jiang Ran loved money.
This was actually a good thing.
Jiang Ran was young, his martial arts skills were world-class, and in less than a year of walking the rivers and lakes, he had already made a heavenly name for himself.
After another year and a half of settling down, he would probably be known as the Golden Cicada’s number one expert.
So another ten or eight years, may be the world’s first person.
And such a master, or a knife catcher.
A knife catcher who loves money.
It’s good to control, such a person as long as you give him money, he can work for you.
This is the good.
But the bad side is also very obvious ……
That is, they have money, others also have money.
People who love money to a certain extent often don’t have their own position, their position is money.
So if someone else gives more than himself, maybe, he will become a knife in someone else’s hand, thus swinging down towards himself.
Therefore apart from money, Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince felt the need to enlist Jiang Ran by his side in other ways.
Now that the jianghu was surging with waves, and the two Qingli countries were restless, it was the time when he needed someone to help him stabilize the jianghu.
Just exactly how should be enlisted?
Is it really will his own sister, handed over to others to do whatever they want?
Although according to the age, the eldest princess is really has long reached the age of marriage.
There were even rumors in the community, calling her an old princess.
There are also people who say that although the eldest princess has not been married, but the face of the head of countless, night and day affair ……
And in the face of such rumors, even if he was the Golden Cicada Son of Heaven, it was not good for him to act rashly.
After all, once he was thunderstruck over it, there might be people who would believe it and think it was true.
If Jiang Ran was able to take in this ‘sinner’, it would be considered a great favor to himself.
While his mind was wandering, he saw Jiang Ran raise his head:
“Alright, the money and goods are done, so I’ll bid you two farewell.
“Farewell!”
“Huh?”
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince was still there in his old scheming, suddenly hearing this, he didn’t even know how to respond.
In the end, the Eldest Princess had anticipated this, and as Jiang Ran’s words fell, there was a broken cry:
“You stand still!!!”
Jiang Ran turned around with a smile:
“Eldest Princess can still clamp down on Jiang Mou’s method today?”
The Rapunzel reached out and pointed to the window and said:
“If you dare to leave, I will jump from here.”
“…… Then what? Your martial arts are not weak, even if you jump, could it still kill you?
“Moreover, even if you fall to your death, what does it have to do with me?”
Jiang Ran wondered.
“Then, half dead, at least break a leg in the fall.”
The Rapunzel seemed to have already plotted this out long ago, and at this point, she was surprisingly eloquent:
“Then it will be declared to the public, saying that this palace can’t think straight.
“When people ask why they can’t think of it, they say that this palace was abandoned by someone!
“Today you and I said what, you know very well, hear those words can be quite a lot of people, if the Palace said you abandoned, I think no one will suspect.
“To wait for them to be curious about why the abandonment, just say …… you and I have no media to meet, so that the bead tire dark knot.
“As a result, because of a little money, make a mess. You even disregard our mother and child life and death, scattered hands and left.
“I can’t think of anything else to do, so I took my own life!
“This thing can make as much trouble as possible, brother, you have to help push the wave, it is best to let this thing overnight to spread the rivers and lakes and seas.
“To do, even if the street three-year-old children know that there is a shocking God knife Jiang Ran, is a start and stop the bad guy!
“At that time, I will see how you Shocking God Knife still in the jianghu to raise the prestige!
“Besides, aren’t you the knife catcher? After this incident, I’ll see how you can still catch knives for money!”
“…… You are really shameless!”
Jiang Ran muttered and opened his mouth.
“I also feel that this is unseemly.”
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince frowned, feeling that this plan was not feasible.
“This palace doesn’t care!!!”
The Eldest Princess was close to lying on the ground and spilling her guts:
“Anyway, if he dares to leave now, I’ll dare to jump.”
“…… Scared of you.”
Jiang Ran was speechless for a while, so he had to sit down again:
“Say, must leave me behind, what do you want?
“Let me send you to the Green Country? This matter is simple to say, but difficult to say.
“Depends on how much silver you want to give me.”
“One hundred thousand taels of gold!”
Golden Cicada Celestial Son blurted out.
Jiang Ran looked up at him:
“Your Holiness should know what it means for a king to have no words.”
“I naturally know.”
Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince was speechless for a while, did this Jianghu reckless man think that today’s Heavenly Prince had been orphaned since childhood and had never read a book?
Then he added a sentence:
“If, you can kill the Qing Emperor.
“I will add another 100,000 taels!”
“Kill the Qing Emperor?”
Jiang Ran looked up at the Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince and suddenly smiled:
“I can’t do this one.”
“Oh?”
Golden Cicada Celestial Son froze, “You can kill me, why can’t you kill the Qing Emperor?”
“Then wasn’t it you who said you wouldn’t pay?”
Jiang Ran bristled:
“Turning back, if I was working for the Qing Emperor and he didn’t pay, I would have killed him as well.
“But nowadays, there’s no grievance, there’s no reason for me to kill him.
“For this deal, Your Holiness, you should go to the Island of Forgotten Dust, the Pavilion of Shocking Extinction, and the Tower of Lifelessness.
“One hundred thousand taels of gold is enough for them to be born to die.”
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince was slightly silent, followed by a smile:
“It seems that I am the one who has been rash, you are a knife catcher but not a killer.
“That being the case, then please escort the Eldest Princess all the way to the Royal Capital of the Green Country.
“On this journey, it will also surely be treacherous, 100,000 taels of gold spent is not unfair.”
And as the Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince’s words fell, a prompt popped up in front of Jiang Ran.
[Knife Catching Mission: Escort the Eldest Princess to the Royal Capital of the Qing Kingdom!
[Whether or not to take it?]
Jiang Ran frowned slightly as he looked at the prompt that had suddenly popped up.
Previously, escorting the Eldest Princess back to the capital, there was no such prompt, probably because the Eldest Princess had never explicitly proposed such a commission.
When she had allowed herself to come to the capital, it was also in the name of a closing payment.
Now that this Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince’s words were clear, this was the only hint that came out.
Jiang Ran slightly stroked his chin and didn’t rush to take it, but asked:
“When will you depart? What is the geometry of the carriage?”
“One month later! The Eldest Princess is traveling, so naturally there are many cars and vehicles.”
Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince said softly:
“In addition to the Princess, there are also my Golden Cicada ambassadors, as well as military escorts,” he said softly.
“The exact number of people has yet to be determined, and will have to be discussed in the court.
“To wait for things to end, and then all the way back …… This in the middle, will have to Jiang Ran you more trouble.”
“One month ……”
Jiang Ran nodded gently after carefully considering the matter.
Then he glanced at the Eldest Princess.
The Rapunzel shook her head gently at him.
Jiang Ran smiled:
“Just as well, I’ll take this deal, Mister Jiang.
“I said that why would His Holiness take such a risk and condescend to meet me in person, so it’s because he wants to talk about such a big business.”
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince smiled:
“Don’t underestimate yourself, I have heard a lot about your means of turning your hand to the clouds and your hand to the rain.
“The Eldest Princess holds you in even higher esteem, and hates to be entrusted with her life.
“Of course, this matter I also do not care.
“She grew up so big, there is nothing that can give her to make the decision.
“Good good, I do not say …… out of the palace for a long time, Jiang Ran, I can trouble you to take me out of this princess house?”
“This is since not unavoidable.”
Jiang Ran said, standing up.
Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince also naturally got up, and was about to explain two more sentences to the Eldest Princess, when he was already grabbed by Jiang Ran’s shoulder, and only had the time to say a ‘you’ before pulling a long tone and disappearing in the window.
Eldest Princess hurriedly came to the window and looked into the distance, Jiang Ran this time, have been about to enter the imperial city.
His Indulgent Flowing Light Technique was called a fast one!
Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince only felt that everything around him seemed to be floating, and when he came back to his senses, he had already seen the walls of the Imperial City.
He was about to open his mouth and tell Jiang Ran to drop off here.
He has his own way to prove his identity, can enter the imperial city.
As a result, without waiting to open their mouths, the two had already arrived atop a large hall.
Below was the [Hall of Light], which was where the Golden Cicada’s civil and military ministers held their pilgrimage.
The two were on the roof, and the Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince looked down at the buildings below, momentarily unfamiliar.
The Hall of Light he certainly has to go every day, sitting on top of the dragon chair, listening to the courtiers playbook.
But now this angle …… is really a little confused.
Just listen to Jiang Ran asked:
“Where do you live?”
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince subconsciously said offhandedly:
“Wencheng Palace.”
“Where?”
Jiang Ran asked again.
Golden Cicada Celestial Son searched for a long time, still not quite sure.
Jiang Ran was surprised:
“You don’t even know where you live?”
“Of course I know!”
The Golden Cicada Emperor blackened his face, how is it that in this person’s mouth, he, the Son of Heaven, is like a fool?
Either he suspects that he can’t read or write, or he says that he can’t find a place to live …… Isn’t this big imperial city all his own residence?
To provoke his own heart fire, tonight will live in the Hall of Light, yes, just lying on the dragon chair to sleep, so what?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a ‘Jie Jie’ strange laugh ring out:
“I didn’t expect that after many years, another expert would dare to break into the Imperial City at night!
“Truly audacious!”
Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow and glanced at the Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince beside him.
It was discovered that the confusion in this Celestial Son’s eyes was no less than his own:
“Who, who’s talking?”
“Behind you.”
Jiang Ran reminded him.
As soon as the Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince turned around, he saw an old eunuch bowing at the waist, also standing in this Hall of Light.
He could see his robes around him moving without wind, grinning, his face full of arrogance.
But when he saw that the person beside Jiang Ran was the Son of Heaven of the current dynasty, his expression completely stiffened on his face.
Just then, he heard the Son of Heaven open his mouth:
“Who are you? At this late hour, if you are not on duty, you should rest earlier. If you are on duty, why don’t you wait inside the palace and come up to the roof?
“Which palace are you from, and which eunuch is in charge?
“Why don’t you quickly explain!”
The old eunuch in this series of forced questioning, a moment of demeanor is all gone, messy in the wind ……
