Chapter 393.
The Frost and Snow duo felt that this matter was difficult though.
However, Jiang Ran didn’t ask any more questions since it was a done deal.
The three of them searched for a while amidst the wreckage and finally found the Star Picking Hand.
This thing was not stained with blood.
Earlier, when that man was wearing the Star Picking Hand, after Jiang Ran had broken his fist and poured out the dregs of his flesh, blood and bones, this Star Picking Hand, surprisingly, didn’t even have a bit of blood on it.
“It’s so light, it’s like a cicada wing.”
Ye Jingshang placed this Star Picking Hand in his palm and gently turned it upside down.
This thing looked as if it had a metallic texture from the outside, but reaching out to touch it, it was not half as hard and cold.
Moreover, it was as light as a cicada’s wing, and after trying to wear it for a while, it didn’t have the slightest sense of foreign body.
Jiang Ran took it over and also wore it for a bit.
Discovering that this thing was indeed extremely clever, Wind Fire Arashiyama had probably left it with a certain amount of stretch when it was built in order to make it possible for anyone with a hand the size of a palm to put this thing on.
Ye Shocking Frost’s small hand put on it to obey, Jiang Ran this big palm to put on it, there is no sense of separation and tightness.
This made Jiang Ran sigh with emotion, Wind and Fire Arashiyama really deserves to be Wind and Fire Arashiyama.
After putting this thing away, Jiang Ran led Frost Snow and the two of them, and brought along Daoyuan Zengyou as well as Wu Qianzhong in the secret room, and left the place together.
This time, Jiang Ran didn’t have to put up any false alarms and came directly to the Princess’s Mansion.
He found someone to lock up Wu Qianzhong and Daoist Abyss.
And let Frost and Snow two people go back to rest, he then went to find the Princess.
At this point in time, the day is still early, the Princess side has not yet woken up.
Arriving at the door, the maids outside looked at each other before silently opening the door to Jiang Ran’s room.
After all, their previous experience told them that Jiang Ran could go in if he wanted to, whenever he wanted to, and there wouldn’t be any problems if he didn’t inform them.
That being the case, then there was nothing to be polite about.
Jiang Ran entered, glanced in the direction of the Rapunzel’s bed, then came to the table, picked up the teapot, shook it gently, and said:
“Come man.”
“Sir Jiang.”
The two maids outside the door came in immediately.
Not daring to look at the eldest princess squarely, they only dared to sneak a glance as they saluted.
Then they heard Jiang Ran say:
“Go make me a pot of good tea.”
The two maids hurriedly nodded in agreement.
The eldest princess was still sleeping now, but Jiang Ran had no intention of leaving ……
I don’t know what the two maids thought of, but they blushed slightly before bowing and retreating.
The tea came very quickly, a few moments later, the maid’s voice came from outside the door.
Only after receiving Jiang Ran’s permission did the two maids enter the door.
A new pot of tea was given to Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran then flipped open a teacup and drank it by himself.
While drinking, he looked towards the bed.
When the eldest princess started, she was resting on her side, and just for the period of time after Jiang Ran came in, her entire body seemed to be sleeping in an iron pot, tossing and turning.
Jiang Ran didn’t say anything, just let her toss and turn.
In his heart, he was considering how exactly to talk to the Princess in a moment.
His heart has a plan.
But this plan, need the cooperation of the eldest princess.
Just …… once this is the case, there are some things that two people will need to be open and honest.
But previously, although there was that time in the Jin Yang House, there were also people from the Blood Cicada who told him that the Eldest Princess had already known his identity long ago.
But still that sentence ……
Seeing may not be the truth, let alone just from what others said.
If the Blood Cicada never told the Princess his identity, and the Princess really never knew about it.
Then because of a few words of the blood cicadas, he came over to find the Princess to show their cards …….
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran laughed.
“What are you laughing at?”
Jiang Ran sat there, drinking tea while looking at himself, and the Eldest Princess just couldn’t sleep anymore.
Tossing and turning, she was there flipping pancakes.
Now Jiang Ran not only looked, she also laughed ……
How could the eldest princess continue to lie down?
Unable to help herself, she rolled over and got up, holding the quilt and looking angrily at Jiang Ran:
“Is it so funny that this palace is sleeping?”
“Ah?”
Jiang Ran looked at her and shook his head with a smile:
“No no, what’s so funny about sleeping, I’m not laughing at you either ……”
“Then what are you laughing at?”
The eldest princess didn’t believe it at all.
“I’m laughing at myself.”
Jiang Ran sighed gently:
“I also don’t know since when, things have become forward-looking.
“Both worrying that some things are false, and also worrying about falling for the enemy’s tricks, so ridiculous ……”
“Hm?”
When the eldest princess heard this, she believed that Jiang Ran was indeed not laughing at herself.
She frowned slightly:
“What’s wrong with you?”
Saying that, she stood up and after hesitating for a moment, she came to Jiang Ran’s front, tilting her head to look at him, curiosity all over her face.
Jiang Ran’s fingertip nodded on the tabletop:
“What does the Eldest Princess know about the Demon Cult?”
Jiang Ran’s topic turned as if it was flying.
The Rapunzel’s complexion gave a slight lurch, followed by slightly averting her gaze:
“It’s still the same as in the past? I remember, when we were in the Jinyang Mansion, we had already discussed this issue.”
“Your Highness, do you know who I met and what I did this evening?”
“Tell me.”
The eldest princess sat opposite Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran glanced at it:
“You’re getting less and less defensive towards me now. ……”
When one sleeps, one certainly doesn’t wear a lot of clothes.
On the contrary, the Rapunzel was quite bold some of the time, such as when she sat down ……
After Jiang Ran’s reminder, the Eldest Princess suddenly realized.
But at this time if you turn around and go back to change clothes in a hurry, won’t you fall into the wind?
She then smiled faintly:
“When did I set up a defense against you?”
“Really not?”
Jiang Ran looked at the Princess.
The eldest princess was slightly stunned:
“You mean something by this …… What’s going on?”
Jiang Ran’s fingertips lightly tapped on the desktop:
“During the day today, I went to Dao Yi Zong …… and then realized that Dao Lack is dead.”
“What?”
Jiang Ran’s one opening statement directly made the eldest princess almost rise up in place:
“What …… is going on here?
“How could a hallowed master of state die? Does imperial brother know about it? Who killed him?”
“Listen to me slowly tell you ……”
Jiang Ran then visited Dao Yi Zong from this morning.
On the way, he met Wuwei Waiter and Yuwen Sublime, and then after going to Dao Yi Zong, what he experienced along the way, so and so.
The eldest princess listened in a moment of engrossment.
Although Dao Lack’s techniques weren’t exactly brilliant, they worked.
As if Jiang then came to tell Dao lack of law is not very clever …… can be clever law may not work, this kind of rotten street means, anti called the opponent easy to set.
However, up to now, the eldest princess also did not understand, Jiang Ran to express what exactly:
“Since Dao Yuan has been taken down by you, and also left behind a plan to deal with other Blood Cicada undercover agents, everything is going well ah.”
“Rapunzel listen to me as I continue on ……”
Jiang Ran brought him back to one of his strongholds in the capital with the Dao Deficient Realist again.
After this was said, the Eldest Princess was astonished:
“You even have other places to go in the middle of the capital?”
“How?”
“Is there a golden house to hide a woman?”
“Not yet.”
“What about later?”
“Maybe.”
“Hum ……”
“Hum your head.”
Jiang Ran picked up his teacup and took a sip, saying softly:
“Changes but also from this time began, when I gave Dao Yuan search, found a thing …… This thing is called [Dark Fragrance to come].
“Is an excellent means of tracking.
“Then I waited for the Blood Cicada expert …….”
Rapunzel was even happier:
“Isn’t that better? You’re just in a position to wipe them out in one fell swoop ……”
“That’s what I thought initially.”
Jiang Ran laughed:
“But the Blood Cicada’s people were very polite to me.
“They told me something …… so I guess I came back to ask the Eldest Princess.”
“…… What is it?”
The Eldest Princess looked at Jiang Ran.
She saw Jiang Ran’s gaze fixed on herself and spoke softly:
“Is there anything you’re hiding from me?”
“……”
The eldest princess was silent for a moment.
Jiang Ran let out a light laugh:
“There’s no harm in it, if you really have something to hide from me, tell me now and I promise to forget about it.
“But if you still don’t tell me the truth this time, and let me investigate it by then, then from then on, you and I will go our separate ways.
“Just pretend that you don’t know anyone!
“How?”
The Rapunzel became even more silent.
A dry laugh escaped in the middle of the day:
“You do not want to be bystanders away from the relationship between you and me ……”
“Oh?”
Jiang Ran looked at her with a smirk:
“What kind of relationship is between you and me?”
“…… This palace is dressed like this sitting opposite you, what kind of relationship do you think it will be?”
Between her raising her head, she was also all kinds of flavor.
Jiang Ran, however, just smiled without saying anything.
The Rapunzel’s smile also tightened as she picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea.
Once again, she fell into silence.
“You can take your time to think.”
Jiang Ran finished the tea in his own cup:
“When you’ve thought about it, come and talk to me yourself ……”
Saying that, he got up to leave.
“And slow down!”
Seeing that he was about to leave, the eldest princess finally couldn’t help but open her mouth and shouted.
Following that, she smiled slightly bitterly:
“Why is Young Zun so desperate?”
Jiang Ran’s footsteps slightly lurched, and a needle fell in the room all of a sudden.
The eldest princess raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Ran.
She saw Jiang Ran slowly turn back, a hint if a smile on his face:
“Young Zun ……”
“This palace knew from the very beginning that you were the Demon Sect’s Young Zun!
“The son of the Demon Father Jiang Tian Ye in the past!”
The eldest princess took a deep breath and said:
“You asked this palace what is the thing that is hidden from you ……
“Only this one!
“Other than that, this palace has no reservations about you.”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“This one is not enough?”
Saying so, he also sat down again.
Then he poured himself a cup of tea:
“The eldest princess is really bold ……
“To actually dare to tell me.”
“No, this palace’s guts are not big at all.”
The eldest princess looked at Jiang Ran:
“Otherwise, from the beginning, I should have been open and honest with you.
“But, this palace doesn’t dare!
“Even though you are a knife catcher, you are the Demon Sect’s Young Zun.
“At a single command, the whole world could fall for him.
“Facing someone like you, it’s impossible for this palace to be open and honest with you from the very beginning.
“It is only possible to walk on thin ice and probe carefully.
“Little by little to understand you …… so, only then is it possible, let you and I between, produce a few love points.”
“Affection?”
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows slightly.
“…… The love of friendship!!!”
The Rapunzel gritted her teeth and nailed the point, then said after a moment of silence:
“It’s just that nowadays, it seems to be giving out a bit too much, and it’s also not quite the same as what was initially envisioned.”
“Then dare to ask the Elder Princess a question …… initially, what was your purpose in wanting to generate a few love points with Jiang Mou?”
Jiang Ran said with a smile:
“Was it the intention to utilize Jiang Mou’s ability to give this order and the whole world might fall for it?”
“Yes!”
The eldest princess nodded:
“The world is in chaos today, and although my royal brother is motivated to rule, in the end, he is more conservative than pioneering.
“Since this palace knows your identity, how can I not do something with it?
“What’s more, you are also the court’s registered knife catcher.
“The Palace single-handedly contributed to the Division of the sword, and thus and you bond, it is natural.
“And you …… as a knife catcher, also do their duty.
“Palm murderers are countless …… In fact, that will be this palace is thinking, if the devil religion, all are you such a person, this world, perhaps not the present appearance.”
Jiang Ran gently turned the tea cup, staring at the tea leaves inside, as if he was in a daze.
The eldest princess, on the other hand, couldn’t help but say:
“You won’t really intend to be a stranger to this palace from now on just because of this, right?
“Although it is true that this palace has concealed this matter ……, but haven’t you likewise concealed your identity?
“This Palace can also fully understand why you are hiding it.
“The identity of the Demon Sect’s Young Lord is too terrifying for the ordinary people.
“The mind that you don’t want the onlookers to know, this Palace can appreciate.
“And naturally, this Palace doesn’t dare to freely expose this matter when it doesn’t know what kind of person you are.
“In case you see that the secret is known by this Palace, and then to this Palace first that, and then kill and how?”
“You do look up to yourself ……”
Jiang Ran skimmed his mouth:
“Also first that what …… which what?”
“What do you mean look up to yourself?”
Rapunzel Bo Ran, stood up at once, let Jiang Ran appreciate some what is called waves, followed by an angry opening:
“Where is this palace unworthy?”
Jiang Ran’s gaze turned:
“Rather, it does make sense ……”
“That’s just it …… And, this way, this palace has also long been a pushover for you.”
The eldest princess said here, secretly glanced at Jiang Ran, whispered:
“Between you and me, what is more than friendship nowadays? Affection also always have to be a little bit of it …… to take advantage of the time is not enough, this time is with this palace to turn the face of the heart.
“Also what you and I from now on strangers ……
“Then wouldn’t it be that all the cheapness of this palace is taken up by you, and then you turn around and want to run?”
“Speak about business, don’t talk about these useless things.”
Jiang Ran coldly glared at her:
“Since you have long known the identity of Jiang Mou, and subsequently even more to me to push the heart, why always do not speak of this matter, the truth ……”
“In this palace’s mind, there are naturally scruples.”
Rapunzel hesitated and said:
“Twenty years ago, this palace is still young, what exactly happened, this palace is actually not clear.
“But it also knows …… that the reason why the Demon Cult does not come out of the rivers and lakes nowadays, and even disappears.
“It is because back then there was a fight between the five countries in chaos and the devil religion.
“Your parents when are all dead in that battle.
“This matter although this palace has not been involved, but with my Golden Cicada royal family also can not get out of it ……
“This palace was intended …… to wait for the investigation of the things of the year, only after the showdown with you, open the window of the sky to say the truth.
“As a result, I didn’t expect the Blood Cicada to want to use this matter to separate you and me ……”
“Oh?”
Jiang Ran looked up at the eldest princess:
“After you returned to the capital, you re-investigated this matter?”
“Uh-huh.”
The Eldest Princess nodded:
“Whether it’s because the matter involves your parents’ great hatred.
“Even if it’s just for your …… sake I can’t let this matter be unknown.
“This palace also knows that the reason why you agreed to return to the capital with this palace should also not just be for those gold.
“After all, the hall of the devil religion young Zun, want money is not simple?
“So, taking advantage of the fact that you’ve been investigating the Blood Cicada for a while now, this Palace is helping you investigate the old stories from twenty years ago.”
As she said this, she stood up and walked over to the desk case.
Opening a drawer on a small cabinet on one side, she took out a pile of paper and handed it to Jiang Ran:
“There isn’t much that has been investigated today ……
“This is also on the strength of the identity of this palace, only to be able to find these edges and corners.
“However, there is one thing, probably you as a devil sect’s young reverend, also completely unknown ……”
“What is it?”
Jiang Ran asked while casually flipping through the pages.
“Back then, there were traitors amongst the Demon Sect.”
The eldest princess spoke softly:
“This person leaked the whereabouts of Jiang Tianye and his wife, so the party was five countries many experts, teamed up to attack ……
“In the end, this is what killed them.”
When the Rapunzel said this, Jiang Ran had also seen the record on the paper.
The name of the person was not written on it.
It was just substituted with ‘Black’.
His person had sent a letter to the Golden Cicada Dynasty, which the Eldest Princess had copied down, and it read:
[Three days later, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Tian Ye with their son headed to Camel Ridge.]
[The entourage will be escorted by the seven great masters of the Demon Cult, the Master of the Inquiring Mind Zhai, the Master of the Hall of Seven Emotions, and the Master of the Hall of Six Desires.]
The rest of them have already prepared the ‘Blood Compulsion’ of the Flute Clan in their traveling bags, and will make sure that they hit the target with a single blow!
Seeing this, Jiang Ran looked up at the Elder Princess:
“This letter, is this all there is?”
“That’s right.”
The Eldest Princess said:
“The original of this letter is in the Golden Cicada Secret Vault, if you don’t believe me, this palace can take you to see it.”
“Good.”
Jiang Ran nodded:
“When are we going?”
“…… You really don’t believe it?”
The eldest princess stared wide-eyed.
“Master often taught me that it’s okay to harm others, but it’s not okay to defend against them.”
Jiang Ran said:
“Given your previous concealment from me, should I trust what you say now, of course I have to have some reservations.”
“…… Then your master said did he not say that you can easily be killed like this!!!”
Rapunzel gritted her teeth a little.
Jiang Ran, however, smiled faintly:
“Do you know what you’re talking about?”
“……”
