Chapter 362.

“Committing treason?”

Changsun Wuji sighed:

“What a big hat, Wushuang, how do you expect me to respond to this?

“Although we are people of the jianghu, we are also merchants.

“A merchant camping, only looks at benefits, what do you care what the other party is? What do they do?

“As long as we can make money for nothing.

“If you really think that we should put the dynasty first, then wouldn’t it be better to use this silver for the people than anything else?

“There are some silver, it’s not that they can’t spend it if you don’t earn it.

“The biggest difference between giving it to others, and giving it to us, is that we can take that money and use it in the right places.

“Whereas others may not ……”

“But have you thought about it.”

Yan Wushuang murmured:

“Even if we don’t talk about the matter of collaborating with the enemy and committing treason, those weapons that we originally sold to them might be chopped on the bodies of my Golden Cicada’s people.

“Becoming accomplices in the murder of my Golden Cicada generals!

“You’re right, if we don’t make this money, someone else will.

“But …… at least that way, I won’t be unable to pass this hurdle in my heart.

“Otherwise, even if there is more silver used in what you call the ‘right’ place, but also can not undo the harm that we have brought in the middle of this.”

“…… What I call, the right place?”

Changsun Wuji frowned:

“What does that mean?”

“You have it in your heart.”

Yan Wushuang took a deep breath:

“Big Brother Changsun, I have always trusted you all these years.

“Grandpa entrusted the entire Hundred Treasures Society to you, and also entrusted me to you.

“I have also always treated you as if you were my own brother.

“But …… in recent years, I can’t understand more and more what you’ve done.

“When Jiang Ran was doing business with me, he once mentioned that some of his pills could be sold by some people and some could not.

“Although I was outwardly unimpressed by this, I was quite touched in my heart.

“Thinking that this is what a gentleman does and does not do.

“He is a knife catcher, loves money, and kills for money.

“However, at a time when he can obtain silver without the need to hold a sword, he would rather earn less than let his elixir fuel the demons.

“I believe that merchants should also have their own temperament.

“You cannot take the four words ‘profit-oriented’ and deepen them in your bones.

“And you …… are not simply just that.

“Brother Changsun, I ask you a word …… can you answer me truthfully?”

“You …… you say.”

“Over the years, every year there will be a huge amount of money to go unknown, can you tell me those money, was you used to where?”

Yan Wushuang’s eyes were hollow, looking at the ornaments on one side, seemingly frozen out of focus.

Changsun Wuji slowly closed his eyes and gently exhaled:

“When did you know?”

“Ximen Feng was indeed tricked …… but there are some things, if there is really no wind, how can waves rise?

“There are some things, but where doubts arise in the mind, things that used to feel normal and taken for granted, when looked at again, will feel fake and ridiculous.”

Yan Wushuang said:

“I, on the other hand, have both eyes and am also fairly good at math.

“So, as long as one is careful to investigate, the traces of holes among them can still be seen.”

“That silver was used where necessary.”

Changsun Wuji said indifferently:

“This matter is not something you need to be concerned about.”

“Then what do I need to be concerned about?”

Yan Wushuang raised her eyebrows lightly.

“Pick a good day …… when we should get married.”

Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice:

“Don’t always hold up any brother or sister to me.

“When your grandfather entrusted you to me back then, we should have had such a day.

“If you are unwilling …… I also have plenty of ways to tell you to give in.

“You’d better think it over!

“Also …… don’t always think about that Jiang Ran.

“In your mouth, he certainly has a thousand good things, ten thousand good things, and you will never be able to.

“He is but a hurriedly passing …… guest now even more do things that should not be done.

“Even if it is the Nine Knives of the Amazing God, in the end, it may not be able to save his life.

“All of it, by now should also end.”

“…… You’ve seen him?”

Yan Wushuang’s eyes lifted and looked towards Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji’s fists clenched:

“Is the only time your party will raise their eyes to look at me is when this person is mentioned?”

“I’m asking you, have you seen him?”

Yan Wushuang looked at Changsun Wuji, his gaze like a knife.

“Seen him.”

Changsun Wuji sneered:

“A brat, touting a couple sentences and then you don’t know north, south, east or west, I don’t know if you’ve got the wrong tendon or not.

“The only thing that can be determined at the moment is that you didn’t go out yesterday to see him.

“Otherwise, hum ……”

“……”

Yan Wushuang’s expression was suddenly a bit odd:

“What did you all say?”

“Curious?”

Changsun Wuji sneered:

“I won’t tell you. …… You just need to know that he may not be able to leave the capital alive is all.”

Yan Wushuang sighed:

“Then you shouldn’t have come tonight.”

“What do you mean?”

Changsun Wuji said angrily:

“What exactly do you mean by that?”

“I mean that you underestimated him.”

Yan Wushuang said softly:

“Jiang Ran is the most terrifying of all the people I’ve seen in my travels so far.

“Anyone who underestimates him will pay a great price.

“Big Brother Changsun …… He may have come by now, you just never knew.”

“Impossible!”

Changsun Wuji shook his head categorically:

“In the daytime, he was talking and probing me to find out the truth, and even where I live.

“I also thought that he might come for a nightly visit tonight, and even set up a dragnet in the middle of the room, only to wait quietly until the third night.

“He also has not shown up.

“Visible …… I look at him like this, is still overestimated him.

“He is only afraid that this night has already been drunk and can’t climb up.

“You just don’t want to reproduce the delusion.

“Be good and abide by your duty, and your future will be unlimited!”

At this point in the conversation, both men fell silent.

In the end, it was Changsun Wuji who sighed:

“There are some things that I would not have gone to the extreme, it’s just that, after you came back this time, you have changed a lot.

“I can’t wait any longer.

“Things that should have a result always have to have a result.

“You also …… don’t want to call me disappointed again.

“I’ll give you three days, you think about it here …… hopefully the final result, can make you and me both satisfied.”

After saying that, turned around to go out, but after a step out, but then paused, said softly:

“Don’t forget, the Hundred Treasures Society is your grandfather’s life’s work, don’t let it be cut short because of your choice.”

Only after these words were said did he stride out.

Only Yan Wushuang was left in the room for a moment.

She looked down at her hands for a long time before sighing deeply.

Just then, she heard a voice laugh:

“Vice Head Yan is not like you to sigh longingly like this.”

Yan Wushuang didn’t even raise his head, and he let out a cold laugh:

“You are indeed here.”

“What’s wrong?”

Jiang Ran took a step out, and the person had already arrived in front of Yan Wushuang’s bed:

“Seeing me, you’re not happy?”

“Seeing my jokes, you’re happy?”

Yan Wushuang rolled her eyelids and glanced at Jiang Ran.

“Indeed quite happy.”

Jiang Ran gently shook his head:

“It’s just that I didn’t expect that the original Hundred Treasures Society was actually founded by your grandfather.

“No wonder, you think of the Hundred Precious Society in everything and never consider yourself.

“Well, Changsun Wuji has feelings for you?”

Yan Wushuang raised her hands and showed Jiang Ran the chains on her hands:

“Like?”

“If you can’t get the heart, you always have to get the person, otherwise, wouldn’t there be nothing left?”

Jiang Ran laughed:

“If the person I like doesn’t like me, I’ll probably do the same.”

“……”

Yan Wushuang crossed Jiang Ran’s eyes and gently shook her head:

“You wouldn’t ……”

“Oh?”

Jiang Ran froze:

“You’re quite confident in me.”

Yan Wushuang didn’t respond to this statement, but said:

“Then, since you saw my joke, then what are you going to do?”

“Take you away?”

Jiang Ran said:

“Want to come with me? Let’s go kill Changsun Wuji, or imprison him, and then make you the head of the Hundred Precious Guild.

“After all, the Hundred Precious Guild is your grandfather’s foundation.

“Even if it has been held by Changsun Wuji all these years, I think that if this person is no longer around, you would be the first choice for the head of the Society.

“Since you said that he is heartless to you, but you prefer to marry you …… that’s mostly because within the Hundred Precious Club, there are still people who are not convinced by him.”

“……”

Yan Wushuang frowned slightly.

It was not because Jiang Ran was wrong, but because Jiang Ran was right about everything.

She was the old Guild Leader’s own granddaughter, and was herself the first candidate to inherit the Hundred Preciousness Guild.

It was just that back then, she was too young and still a girl, and the old head of the council was worried that she wouldn’t be able to convince the public, which was why the head of the council was passed on to Changsun Wuji.

At the same time, he also entrusted Yan Wushuang to him, hoping that he would take good care of her.

Yan Wushuang did not like this arrangement, but could not help but honor it.

She couldn’t let her grandfather’s lifelong efforts go down the drain, so she worked even harder to learn martial arts and literature.

Trying hard to make her reputation within the Hundred Precious Guild grow higher and higher.

In this way can better maintain the Hundred Treasures Association, and even develop and grow.

And Changsun Wuji is also by no means a mediocre talent, over the years the two have worked together, the Hundred Precious Club has indeed grown stronger and stronger.

But the problem is, as Yan Wushuang’s prestige is getting higher and higher, there will be a voice within the club ……

It was believed that the reason why the old head of the Association passed the Hundred Treasures Association to Changsun Wuji was because Yan Wushuang was young.

Now that Yan Wushuang has grown up and has a high reputation, Changsun Wuji should give up his position as the head of the association to Yan Wushuang.

Especially the old generation who followed Yan Wushuang’s grandfather in founding the Hundred Treasures Association, remembering the past love, all had this intention.

Although Changsun Wuji did not say much about it, Yan Wushuang was not willing to easily deny Changsun Wuji’s contribution over the years.

That’s why they often travel outside the capital.

But now …… the two people are clearly divided.

With the force difficult to be exerted in one place, if Changsun Wuji could not deal with this issue properly, then the Hundred Treasures Society would most likely fall apart.

The best way to deal with this was to marry Yan Wushuang.

In this way, all problems would no longer be problems.

All the disputes would disappear into thin air.

Jiang Ran was able to see through the key to this at a glance, so it could be seen as extraordinary.

But what really made Yan Wushuang frown was that …… she had not yet made up her mind.

Although there was no love between a man and a woman, she had seen everything that Changsun Wu Di had done for the Hundred Treasures Society over the years.

No matter what, she had to be grateful to Changsun Wuji for supporting the Hundred Precious Guild all the way to the present at a crucial time.

If it wasn’t for him, the Hundred Preciousness Society might not have been destroyed, but it would never have been in its current state.

She had to recognize this love.

Therefore, killing something like Changsun Wuji was something she could not do right now.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Jiang Ran:

“Why haven’t you left the capital yet?”

“Then can you tell me what you saw yesterday? And what did you hear?”

Jiang Ran said softly:

“What kind of people are trying to deal with me?”

“…… I have not seen that person’s face.”

Yan Wushuang said:

“I only know that Changsun Wuji called him the Honorable Envoy.

“Both men’s martial arts are very high, I don’t know exactly how they negotiated, I only heard their last words ……

“Jiang Ran, will surely die!”

“So you rushed here in a hurry to tell me? How do you know I live in the Princess’s Mansion?”

Jiang Ran was a bit curious.

“Hmph…… the eldest princess hasn’t married anyone for years, and hasn’t even rumored anything with a man.

“As soon as you came to the capital, the entire capital knew that the eldest princess had fallen in love with a jianghu reckless man.

“Even brought back, to be raised in the Princess’s residence, the two even had to sleep in the same cave at night.

“You say how do I know you live in the Princess House?”

“…… The people in the capital are just living too comfortably, all day and night there is no business, they just know to spread gossip.”

Jiang Ran rolled his eyes:

“It seems that the key to the problem still lies in this Changsun Wuji.

“It’s a bit interesting, allow me to think about it …… Well, there is.”

“What?”

The eldest princess looked up at Jiang Ran:

“What devious idea have you come up with again?”

“Ask you something.”

Jiang Ran laughed:

“How is Changsun Wuji’s martial arts?”

“…… Naturally very high.”

Yan Wushuang said:

“Although he’s not your opponent, he’s still one of the world’s experts.

“Otherwise, how could the Hundred Treasures Society stand like this?”

“That’s good ……”

Jiang Ran nodded in satisfaction.

“What exactly are you doing?”

Yan Wushuang frowned:

“You mustn’t mess around, I can press down and ignore how Changsun Wuji is doing, but don’t implicate me, the Hundred Treasures Society.”

“I intend to divulge a bit of information.”

Jiang Ran said softly:

“Let the people behind Changsun Wuji know that Changsun Wuji has leaked the secret a little bit …… Well, to be precise, it’s to let me know that Changsun Wuji is related to them.

“In this way, according to the style of action of this group of people.

“Changsun Wuji will have to die ……

“Otherwise, once I am allowed to make a move before them and take down Changsun Wuji, they will be put in a passive position.

“Given that Changsun Wuji’s martial arts skills are extremely high and unusual people can’t kill him, the person who comes is bound to be an important person with high martial arts skills.

“At that time, all I need to do is stand guard.

“Then I can touch their tails. ……

“And at that time, I’ll jump out and only need to shout ‘Changsun, don’t be afraid, I’ll come to your aid.

“Between the two of them, there will no longer be any room for détente.

“Changsun Wuji’s ambition, too, will completely go up in smoke……. By then, what secrets there are, it may not be impossible to tell me in detail.

“You see, how is this law?

“That is, we do not need to kill Changsun Wuji, and will not implicate you Hundred Treasures Society.

“My purpose can then be achieved.

“And after this battle, the matter of Changsun Wuji’s collusion with them will not be concealed.

“You can logically take back the rights of the Hundred Treasures Society, and you can also publicize the fact that he has secretly transferred a huge amount of wealth over the years.

“The Hundred Treasures Society will no longer have a place for him, and the people behind him still want to kill him, so he will have no way out but to let you make the arrangements.

“If you really think about the love he gave for the Hundred Preciousness Society, then imprison him, clothes and food are not lacking, dainty wives and beautiful concubines are also available, just like this to be a rich and noble idler, is not also good?”

“…… Then, the Hundred Treasures Society lost this person with the highest martial arts skills as a dependency, so they can rely on you, Jiang Ran Jiang Warrior?

“After that, the Hundred Precious Society will be your money bag, and you can take whatever you want?”

Yan Wushuang looked at Jiang Ran with a cold smile.

“Why are these words so hard to hear?”

Jiang Ran was helpless:

“Just now, I remember someone saying that I’m a gentleman who does something and does nothing.

“How come this has turned into doing nothing?”

“……”

Yan Wushuang muttered in a low voice:

“What kind of gentleman eavesdrops on others?”

But when she looked up again, she nodded gently:

“This solution of yours, feasible!”

Not just feasible, but very feasible, and could be said to be the best method as of now.

“That’s fine.”

Jiang Ran laughed:

“Then you come with me.”

“…… You’re planning to use me for an article?”

Yan Wushuang wasn’t a fool and understood what Jiang Ran was thinking in an instant.

“Don’t always think of me as so bad ah, have you forgotten …… who saved you up in the underground trap of Purple Moon Villa?”

Jiang Ran felt that without mentioning this saving grace, this person would most likely forget about it.

“…… You still have the nerve to mention it?”

Yan Wushuang blushed.

After all, she was not a young girl in her 28th year, blushing at the mention of marriage and such.

But once she thought of the entanglement with Jiang Ran in the Purple Moon Villa trap, she really couldn’t help but blush.

At that time, Jiang Ran was holding her in his arms, and he was also carrying Meng Huan’s wife.

All the way up the mountain wall.

That ear to ear, how can there be no half reaction?

And himself …… was sitting across his waist ……

That small stretch of road was a torture for both of them.

Then Yan Wushuang gritted his teeth and said:

“Then shall we talk about how I arrived at the Purple Moon Villa?”

“Naturally, it’s because you’re not dead set on the Jiao Wei Qin, and after getting the news from Ximen Feng’s mouth, you planned to come and plot against my baby.”

“Baby ……”

It was unknown why, if these two words were uttered by someone else, Yan Wushuang wouldn’t take it seriously.

But after being uttered by Jiang Ran, he felt a bit unable to listen to it.

“Okay, okay, there is no need to mention the past, you intend to make an article out of me, I also let you …… us, let’s go.”

“Good.”

Jiang Ran stepped forward, casually grabbed the iron chain on her hand, and with a strong effort, he heard a few clicks.

The iron chain was then directly broken by Jiang Ran, and immediately pulled Yan Wushuang up and was about to leave, but suddenly looked to the other end of this secret room:

“Do you say …… that place is like a secret door?

“If the door I came in through is the portal to this place, then that door, where does it lead to?”
