Chapter 372.
In the backyard of the Mountain and Sea Association, the atmosphere was momentarily gloomy.
And those who were watching from afar were feeling that it was not a falsehood.
First, the Snowy Ridge Divine Spider struck, although they couldn’t hear exactly what was said and why it struck.
But the Thousand Luo Spider Hua was an eye-opener for them.
Later on, the boxing skills of those two hans were also thrilling.
That punch was like thunder breaking through the sky, and many of them asked themselves that if they were in the middle of it, they would certainly find it difficult to take it.
One could only say that Jiang Ran’s martial arts were simply too high.
Which of the four people who had made a move was a person with high martial arts, but they were not even qualified to let this person pull out his sword.
Now that the field had fallen into stagnation again.
They, the spectators, couldn’t help but scratch their ears.
They just hated that they couldn’t get close enough to hear what they were saying.
And among their group, there were also those who were good at lip reading, but unfortunately, lip reading first had to be able to see the other party’s mouth.
With a bad angle and bad eyesight, even if you have great skills, you can’t use them.
Just as they were scratching their ears and wondering what had changed in the scene again.
Shen Tu Lie finally spoke:
“How about knowing, and how about not knowing?”
Once these words came out, whether it was Crown Prince Shan Zhi or Wuwei Candidate Gong Chuanxi, they all looked at Shen Tu Lie at the same time.
Discovering that this person’s face was getting calmer and calmer, his eyes did not have a single ripple.
It was as if it was a deep well of cold water.
Only Jian Wusheng sighed, knowing that the more Shen Tu Lie was like this, the more intense his heart was.
All the calmness was all superficial, this person would probably be on the verge of going crazy.
Then he spoke softly:
“Jiang warrior don’t take his words seriously.
“Now that he’s about to fly off in anger, what serious words can he say?
“Even if you want to know whether or not Shentu Lie and the Surprise Extermination Pavilion are related, it’s useless to ask this.”
Jiang Ran obediently turned his gaze towards Jian Wusheng.
With a sweep of his eyes on his Little Night Sword, he gently nodded his head:
“Mister Jiang has met the Sword Warrior.
“I came here in a hurry today, and when I arrived, my friends from all sides were quite enthusiastic, so I didn’t have the time to thank Great Warrior Jian for his kindness in sending the Shattered Gold Sword.”
“I did see that you don’t use your sword much.”
Jian Wusheng glanced at the Shattered Gold Blade on Jiang Ran’s waist and smiled slightly:
“But there’s no harm in that, this blade wasn’t meant to be given to you at that time before Cheng Tianyang was asked to bring it to Red Maple Villa.
“However, since Ye Konggu met with misfortune.
“It would make sense for the knife to be given to Ye Shocking Frost, and since you saved her life, it would be logical for you to get the knife.
“Although it is at odds with my original purpose, now it seems that it may not not be a crooked move.”
With a few words, it was considered that this section of the Shattered Gold Knife had been uncovered.
The polite words were also considered finished.
Then he saw Jian Wusheng’s expression sink:
“Words from the beginning again, back to Shen Tu Hong.
“The matter of this person being the Vice Pavilion Master of the Surprising Extermination Pavilion, does Grandmaster Jiang have any supporting evidence?”
“Of course there is, but this matter, it’s a long story ……”
Jiang Ran spoke softly, putting in the section about encountering the Lifeless Building and getting to know that the experts of the Qing Kingdom had traveled south to the Golden Cicada with the intention of assassinating the Eldest Princess at the Broken Stream Gorge.
In this section, Jiang Ran erased the fact that Lifeless Building had taken the initiative to tell him about it.
Instead, he treated it as if he had discovered the experts of the Lifeless Building, and only learned the truth after secretly investigating.
Later, Jiang Ran traveled to the Liuyun Sword Sect to pick up Ye Jinshang.
In the middle of it, he once again encountered the experts of the Green Country, intending to take Ye Jingshuang captive.
This thing, not just Jiang Ran’s side of the story, Liuyun Sword Sect all can testify that his words are not false.
After that, it is on the way to meet the amazing extermination pavilion killers kill people, they followed the clues to arrive at the broken stream gorge near the small jade village, mixed into the middle, out of a big kill.
Eventually killed all the killers in the small jade village, but also will be in charge of the deputy pavilion master pressed on the spot.
“This mask a mortgage …… honestly, in the next out of the jianghu time is still shallow, has not recognized.
“But I can not hide it from the high disciples of the Liuyun Sword Sect, as well as the disciples of …… Raccoon Sword Liu Piaozuo.
“In this way, Shentu will head of this pro brother, will be presented in the Jiang Mou got in front of the eyes.
“I’m afraid that the world would never have imagined that the vice-chairman of the Mountain and Sea Association, the younger brother of the head of the Association, Shen Tu Lie, had become a notorious killer.
“And, with the intention of assassinating the Princess!
“Such a crime of collaborating with the enemy and treasonous to the country, can it be worthy of the name of a rebellious son?”
Jiang Ran said this, but his eyes were glancing at Wuwei Hou.
He had actually come here very early, just that the onlookers couldn’t notice.
He had heard the conversation between Wu Wei Wei and Jian Wusheng.
As expected, Candidate Wu Wei’s face sank:
“If this isn’t a chaotic traitor, then what is a chaotic traitor!
“Shen Tu Lie, you raised a good brother!!!”
Jiang Ran’s words unfolded, although the process was a bit unbelievable, it was also sensible and reasonable.
It was only the result after this mask was lifted in the end that made Shen Tu Lie somewhat unacceptable:
“This is impossible …… this …… how is this possible?”
“At that time at my side there was also the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect’s Ye Shocking Frost, and Raccoon Sword Liu Piaozuo’s disciple Ye Shocking Snow.
“Both of them are descendants of the Red Maple Villa after the famous sect.
“I think that you all should trust their words.”
Jiang Ran stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently:
“And after this, I disguised myself as Shentu Hong and arrived at the Broken Stream Gorge.
“This easily took down all the arrangements on the Broken Stream Gorge ……
“And the Eldest Princess was thus turned to safety.”
Up to this point the head and tail were connected, and there was an end in sight.
Shan Zhi suddenly gently clapped his hands in admiration:
“Good, good, good skill, earlier I have always heard that Jiang Ran is extraordinary, not an ordinary reckless man.
“My second brother to you is even more respected ……
“Today I got to see, really not call lone disappointment.”
Jiang Ran frowned slightly and glanced at Shen Tu Lie:
“We are meeting, for no reason invited so many irrelevant over for what?”
After he said this, before Shan Zhi could say anything, Yuwen Ting snorted coldly:
“Shut up!
“Ignorant fool, how can you act out in front of the Crown Prince?
“Why don’t you kneel down and kowtow?”
Jiang Ran sniffed and looked at Shan Zhi:
“Want me to kneel and kowtow?”
Shan Zhi, however, waved his hand repeatedly:
“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
“Let’s just deal with the rules of the jianghu.”
Jiang Ran smiled and looked towards Yu Wen Ting:
“It seems that Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is much more reasonable than Prince Yuwen.
“I’ve heard that Prince Yuwen doesn’t have an official body, but this official authority is a bit greater than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”
Yuwen Ting’s pupils contracted violently.
Subconsciously, he glanced at Shan Zhi and realized that Shan Zhi was looking at himself.
Immediately, he hastily rolled over and knelt down:
“Yu Wenting wouldn’t dare.”
Shan Zhi laughed:
“What are you doing? Jiang Warrior is joking with you, quickly get up ……”
Yu Wenting then hurriedly get up, a leg was about to stand up, just heard a whoosh sound, a peanut straight to his calf.
Only to hear Yu Wenting stifled a grunt, his body shape suddenly re-heavy kneeling.
Jiang Ran smiled slightly at this:
“Your Highness don’t blame him, you see his heart is very sincere in admitting his mistake, after he got up, he still felt that he went too far for the Crown Prince, this is not it, he knelt down again, so that Your Highness don’t mind this unauthorized act.”
Shan Zhi was crying and laughing, and looked toward Wuwei Waiter:
“You say that this Shocking God Sword is a reckless man of the jungle? But from what I can see, his words are no less than those of a great scholar in the imperial court.”
Wu Wei Waiter looked at Jiang Ran with a slight frown on his brow and sighed softly:
“Amazing God Sword Jiang Ran …… This waiter has heard of your name for a long time.
“Do you know from what person’s mouth this waiter first learned of you?”
Jiang Ran glanced at Candidate Wu Wei for a slight moment, and suddenly his heart fluttered:
“Guo Chong?”
Candidate Wu Wei was also stunned:
“How do you know?”
“In the following a jianghu martial arts, famous but the Sunset Ping, but this kind of fame, seems to be not enough to let the dynasty Wu Wei candidate heard in the following a long time.
“Then expected marquis heard me this name, should be before this.
“And before this …… my relationship with the court does not seem to be particularly close.
“Only that would then be the Cangzhou Prefect of Guo Chong, so that in the next deep impression.
“Even this knife catching order in my hand is a gift from this person.
“Plus, this person obviously comes from the military.
“The world knows what kind of background he has.
“These two a little bit of association, bold and then a little bit, guess on a guess …… also have the answer.
“Of course, even if the guess is wrong, it doesn’t seem to be a big deal.”
After Jiang Ran finished his words, Wuwei Waiter suddenly let out a deep sigh:
“You said it well.
“Then do you know …… that in the scourge of the rivers and lakes in recent years, the person who has been most favored by this candidate is you.
“The so-called famous sects are not looked upon by this waiter.
“They are more concerned about their own reputation, although there are for the wrongdoing of the devil for the scourge of the time, they will not ignore.
“However, the action is slow, get by with it, empty of the name of the famous sect, but there is the suspicion that the name is not true.
“And you …… out of the jianghu so far, is still less than a year.
“Under the hand has been a succession of beheading many Jianghu on the evil way masters.
“The left road Zhuangzhuang master for the scourge of the jianghu for many years, the heavenly que abandoned Tianyue is even more bold and wildly paradoxical, but one after another perished in your hands.
“You are the real Jianghu righteousness!
“And now it seems that you are even more rare is thoughtful, bold and careful, is really called this waiter heart comfort.
“Therefore, this waiter tonight, no matter how, also have to come over to see you one side.
“Now this side to see, this waiter heart is very happy.
“Jiang Ran …… this waiter ask you a word, you can wish to join the army into the army? Or …… join the dynasty as an official?”
When these words came out, Yu Wenting and Shan Zhi’s eyes both changed.
Yu Wenting’s eyes were with a hint of surprise.
If Jiang Ran joined the dynasty as an official, then he would not be able to marry the Eldest Princess, invariably removing a great enemy for himself.
As for Shan Zhi, his eyes were mysterious and unpredictable, no one knew what was in his mind.
But it is clear …… that the prestige of the Wuwei candidate in the army is like a god.
He is also the first person who can break the boundaries of civil and military officials, and can let Guo Chong, a reckless man, to be the Cangzhou Prefect.
In the eyes of others, this is not even dare to think.
He not only thought about it, but also made it.
This kind of ability, even he, the Crown Prince, might not be able to match.
If Jiang Ran were to promise Wuwei Candidate to join the dynasty as an official, or to enlist in the army, it would certainly be a flying start and a promising future!
Shen Tu Lie, on the other hand, couldn’t help but clench his fists.
If everything is confined to the jianghu, some things he can still show some, but once Jiang Ran shifted and jumped out of the jianghu.
That …… would really be completely hopeless.
For a moment everyone was looking at Jiang Ran, only Jian Wusheng yawned, feeling as if Wuwei Hou had farted, bland and tasteless to the extreme.
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, smiled:
“I am grateful for the Marquis’ favor, compared to the rules of the imperial court, I prefer the ease of the Jianghu.”
These words were already a clear rejection.
A glimmer of gloom flashed across the eyes of Marquis Wuwei.
Yu Wenting, on the other hand, snorted coldly, while Shan Zhi, his eyes grew more and more inscrutable.
Then he heard Candidate Wuwei say:
“You have made a mark in the Jinyang Prefecture.
“Changyang army marquis Ning captured for you, greatly invigorating morale, and now Huwei Pass has been repaid, with this credit, this waiter can guarantee you a green cloud …… Are you really, unwilling?”
Yuwen Ting was surprised to look at Wuwei Waiter.
What kind of character is Wu Wei Waiter?
High above, although the identity is not as good as the crown prince, but over the years in the dynasty of the accumulation of the deep, even the crown prince to him have to courtesy three times.
And he is such a person, mentioned once Jiang Ran did not allow, according to reason will not mention a second time.
In the end, how much he cherished Jiang Ran as a person, only then would he mention again and again that he wanted Jiang Ran to join the court as an official?
Thinking of this, he stole his eyes to look at the Crown Prince.
He saw that the Crown Prince was eating and drinking with his head down, as if he was watching a play.
In the midst of uncertainty, he heard Jiang Ran laugh:
“Marquis don’t need to say anything else, people have their own aspirations, you can’t force them.”
“Good.”
After finishing his sentence, the Martial Marquis stood up:
“That being the case, let’s say that this candidate has come to the wrong place tonight.
“Jiang Ran …… you take care of yourself!”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
“Greetings, Marquis.”
Shentu Lie immediately clasped his fists.
Yu Wenting also hurriedly followed.
Shan Zhi, on the other hand, raised his wine cup and finished a whole glass of wine, then said to Jiang Ran with a smile:
“This temper of yours is also formidable.
“He’s a Wuwei Candidate …… aren’t you worried that he holds a grudge for rejecting him so much.
“When the time comes, it will make you suffer?”
“Your Highness the Crown Prince is joking.”
Jiang Ran waved his hand:
“Jiang Mou’s debut so far, and no one has yet been able to tell me to take it all in my stride ……
“It’s just that when I listen to the Crown Prince’s words, how do I get the feeling that you seem to be trying to stir things up?”
“Yes?”
Shan Zhi laughed:
“Candidate Wuwei said that you are bold and careful, but there are times when being too bold is not a good thing.
“But there’s no harm in that, Lone likes this boldness of yours.
“Well, these things can be said later …… The words between you and the head of the Shentu Club seem to be unfinished.”
The thread to run back, to the initial topic, then left Jiang Ran and Shentu Lie.
Shentu Lie also knew by this point that some things could not be left unaccounted for.
He opened his voice after pondering:
“Red Maple Villa Ye Shocking Frost and Ye Shocking Xue, are the descendants of a famous family, and it is reasonably impossible for them to perjure themselves for you.
“However, you have saved Ye Shocking Frost’s life, and the world knows that she is your confidante.
“Whether or not the words of the two of them are worth believing is still a toss-up.
“But since it involves the assassination of the eldest princess this and other splashy big things …… I even if Shentu Hong’s brother would not dare in the case of no evidence, it is nonsense, head for security.
“I can only say …… that if he is really a shocking extermination pavilion deputy pavilion master, then you kill no mistake.
“And I have no idea about this matter!”
Words to this point, a slight beat:
“But …… words back again.
“Today there is still no clear evidence that can completely prove this.
“Therefore, this deep revenge, the old man can not not be avenged!
“It’s just that, before the truth is known, revenge or not is point blank.
“Jiang Warrior …… you martial arts skills of the world, today will please out one or two, if this battle is lost, Shen Tu Lie supine, the truth has not been investigated clearly before, by no means dare to Jiang Warrior hands again.
“After waiting for the truth to come out, if Shentu Hong really harboring evil intentions, Shentu Lie will be a bramble to ask for forgiveness, please Jiang Warrior forgive.
“On the contrary, even if I put my life on the line, I have to avenge my brother’s blood!!!”
The words went around and around, but in fact, what it boiled down to biting into were four words, the truth was unknown!
If you don’t believe in Ye Shocking Frost and Ye Shocking Snow, you naturally don’t believe in Jiang Ran either.
But because this was a big deal, they didn’t dare to make things worse.
So can only come in a roundabout way.
First do over a game, both is the end, is also a step.
If Jiang Ran can’t pass this hurdle, then everything is naturally simple.
If it is past …… then there is still a chance of the ‘truth coming out’ in.
This is not a shrewd way to play.
Jiang Ran gazed at Shen Tu Lie, but suddenly smiled.
He came over today, was not to take Shen Tu Lie how, just to see how he would react in the end.
Now this reaction, is quite normal.
With a turn of the eyes, he looked at Yuwen Ting, who was not far away.
Yu Wenting, on the other hand, was rubbing his leg.
His leg had been hit by Jiang Ran with peanuts, and this would still hurt.
Only, the location of the pain had moved three inches.
There was a three inch difference between where Jiang Ran had wanted to hit and where he had actually hit.
This was by no means due to his inaccurate technique.
In fact, with the Cold Moon Nail’s enhancement, his concealed weapon technique had already been able to hit wherever he wanted.
Retracting his gaze, Jiang Ran let out a light laugh:
“Good! The head of the Shentu Association is also considered to have a clear distinction between public and private matters.
“That is so, then according to the head of the Shen Tu Association to do …… but I do not know is the head of the Shen Tu Association personally shot, or is it, Jian Wusheng sword warrior shot?”
Jian Wusheng didn’t know when, but started eating and drinking again.
After hearing Jiang Ran’s words, but waved his hand repeatedly:
“But don’t count me …… I’m just a spectator.
“There is my share of eating and drinking every day, fighting and killing …… such things are still exempt.”
Shen Tu Lie coldly glanced at him, not counting him out at all.
Instead, he said to Jiang Ran:
“Your martial arts are strong, I’m afraid I’m not sure if I’m going to do it myself.
“Therefore, this time, I will be considered offended.
“I can only ask my benefactor to take action and seek justice for my brother.”
“Benefactor?”
The crowd in the arena all looked towards Shen Tu Lie.
Shen Tu Lie was already not young, so how old must his benefactor be?
Moreover, in the past, it had never been heard that Shen Tu Lie had a master, ah?
While being stunned, he saw Shen Tu Lie stand up and bow behind him:
“I have a favor to ask my benefactor, to help!!!”
A slightly shrill voice was heard sighing softly:
“I didn’t want to intervene in the affairs of the jianghu, but since it involves my disciples, I have to bully the young with the big.
“Young man …… you ……”
As the voice fell, a figure had arrived abruptly.
Lightly standing on Shen Tu Lie’s side, he looked up to see Jiang Ran, and between their four eyes, both of them were stunned.
“It’s you!?”
