Chapter 399.
“Jiang Ran has arrived at the Bu Li Zhuang!
“And, hasn’t left.
“Every entrance and exit in the front and back of the Bu Li Villa is guarded, but if he makes the slightest movement, we’ll be able to spot it immediately.”
Still in that one tea room.
The voice that spoke was somewhat anxious:
“This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, there will never be a second chance!
“What exactly are you hesitating for?”
“Every major event has a calmness, so be at ease.”
The person holding the teacup in his hand, gently sipped it, his brows slightly knitted:
“Today this tea, seems to be somewhat wrong ……”
“All day long you know to play God, still want to drink tea properly?
“Your tea leaves, all of them let me replace them with grass leaves for you! Can the taste be considered sweet?”
The man on the opposite side spoke in a furious voice.
“……”
The tea drinker sighed and put down his teacup:
“I’m waiting for the Cicada Master Order.”
These six words were like a fixing spell, completely immobilizing the person across from him in an instant.
He frowned tightly:
“When did you report this matter to the Cicada Lord?”
“Just last night.”
“…… You and I are both Silver Cicada, and among the Blood Cicada is the existence of one person under ten thousand people.
But even you and I are not sure who the Cicada Master really is.”
“Even if report, also should you and I two people report at the same time, only then can this news report to the cicada master ……
“You are breaking the rules by reporting privately now.”
“Those were the rules of the past.”
The man drinking tea said softly:
“For as many years as the Golden Cicada was founded, the Blood Cicada was founded.
“In recent decades, the Blood Cicada has changed drastically.
“The Cicada Master lives behind the scenes, even you and I don’t know his true identity.
“In the Blood Cicada, all affairs are handed over to you and me, except for that matter, the Cicada Master has no demands on you and me at all.
“This also makes you more and more developed the behavior!”
“Who are you saying has developed a perverse demeanor?”
The person on the opposite side was unconvinced.
The one drinking tea said softly:
“This is a yang conspiracy …… a visible yang conspiracy.
“Jiang Ran’s departure from the capital is bound to be false.
“He broke into the jungle so far, walking until now, who does not know, this person is extremely intelligent?
“Since my blood cicadas first move fell, he knew what we want to do.
“The gentleman can be deceived by the party, he did leave the capital.
“We may seem to have gotten our way, but we will actually let our guard down against him!
“You said not to leave the village before and after the left and right entrances and exits, have been guarded by someone …… but you have to realize that that person is Jiang Ran!
“He has at least a hundred ways to leave BuLiZhuang unnoticed, while our people can’t even smell his farts!”
This person across from him was still unconvinced, but he was unable to refute these words.
“So what after that?”
The man drinking tea coldly spoke:
“Jiang Ran left the capital on the front foot, and then the eldest princess went to ask for an imperial order on the back foot.
“His Holiness directly promised to escort the Eldest Princess to Bu Li Zhuang.
“This is the meat …… that makes your eyes greedy Don’t think that I don’t know, what are you thinking?
“Even if he gets what he wants, what should he do? And how many days can he sit firmly?
“Don’t forget that there is Lord Cicada above this!
“Are you planning to turn your back on your master?”
“Nonsense! How would I do that?”
The person on the opposite side finally couldn’t help himself when he heard this:
“Okay, I know I have selfish intentions, but …… but isn’t this a heavenly opportunity for you and me?”
“Yes.”
The tea-drinking man let out a soft breath:
“Indeed it is a good opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“But if we have to use your and my foundations, as well as our lives to exchange …… I don’t intend to exchange them.”
“You don’t think too highly of them ……”
“A sword without life sword without life!
“Dao Yi Zong Dao Lacking Real Person!
“Shentu Lie, head of the Mountain and Sea Association!
“Yan Wushuang, head of the Hundred Treasures Society!
“There’s even that with Jiang Ran’s cheap disciple, the Blood Sword Hall led by Xuanyuan Yidao.
“Even if these three behind, are not worth mentioning …… How do you know that that Broken Dongliu was in the capital back then, without the slightest arrangement?
“Furthermore …… do you remember what that Jiang Ran is in the end?
“Tang Tianyuan is really assured that he is such a young father who has not yet completely controlled the Devil Sect, to come to the capital this kind of dangerous place?
“Shan Yu Cicada and him are involved and in a mess, so they can be called a pair of adulterers and adulteresses.
“Jiang Ran went to BuLiZhuang first, and how many devilish sect experts will accompany Shan YuChan?
“Have you ever counted on that?
“Not only that, that master of Shen Tu Lie’s is no ordinary figure.
“Thirty years ago I have fought with him …… Although his martial arts were unbearable at that time, he practiced child’s kung fu.
“The accumulation of internal kung fu over the years is bound to be profound to the extreme.
“Even though he can’t threaten you and me, he is still a strong hand and should not be underestimated.
“If we look at the Blood Cicada, how many of them can beat this person? Less than a handful!!!”
The corner of his mouth tugged when the man across from him heard this:
“If he doesn’t pose as a supreme expert within the palace, what’s the point of running to the rivers and lakes to roll around?
“If I can’t, I’ll just go and kill him now.”
“Killing him alone will not help.”
The tea-drinking man gently shook his head:
“The most important thing is that on that day, Jiang Ran will definitely come.
“How will you and I cope then?
“Are you sure about facing him?”
“…… Could it be that you’re thinking too much?”
The man on the opposite side frowned:
“What if …… what if this is what Jiang Ran has calculated?
“Knowing that you will be cowed before the battle, you deliberately set up a big empty city plan, just to protect the eldest princess to meet up with him safely and without any trouble …… You have to know that nowadays, if we don’t use this opportunity to go on.
“I’m only afraid that there will never be another chance!”
“You want to use all of us family life, to bet that this is an empty city trick?”
“……”
The man on the opposite side couldn’t speak for a moment.
And the one drinking tea sighed:
“That’s why I said that Jiang Ran is using a yang scheme.
“If we don’t do it within the capital, we can only do it outside the city.
“Inside the city, there is only one Princess, but outside the city, you can even take down the current Prince of Heaven together.
“But once both of these opportunities are missed …… then it would be better to just send them to the Green Country.”
“Then how do you plan to do it?”
“Kill the Eldest Princess directly in the city.”
“But Jian Wusheng ……”
“I will personally take action.”
“!!!”
The man on the opposite side froze, but he knew that this old friend hadn’t moved in how many years.
However …… facing Jian Wusheng ……
He thought for a moment and said:
“Can you be sure?”
“At least sixty percent.”
The man drinking tea said:
“But there is another method that can make this matter, ten percent certain.”
“What is it?”
“You and I will go together.”
“……”
This person on the opposite side suddenly realized that the so-called sixty percent certainty was actually killing Jian Wusheng and then killing the Elder Princess which were two things made together.
In this way, there was a sixty percent certainty.
And if he added himself, the two of them, one to deal with Jian Wusheng and one to kill the Elder Princess, no matter what, it would be ten percent.
His eyes rolled for a long time before he finally clenched his teeth:
“Good! Then we will go now!”
“Be at ease.”
“…… What are you waiting for?”
“The Cicada Lord’s order.”
The man drinking tea turned the teacup in his hand:
“You and I are the same Silver Cicada, every move must be reported to the Cicada Lord.
“Tomorrow the Eldest Princess and the others will only leave, now, we still have time.”
When the one on the opposite side heard this, his entire being was bad.
He closed his eyes, his face changed for a moment, sometimes his brows were tightly locked, sometimes he sighed continuously ……
In this way, it was not known how long had passed before the one drinking tea suddenly opened his eyes.
The window was suddenly pushed open by a strong wind.
Immediately followed by a doe sound, an object hit the whistling nailed on the wall.
It was a flag.
There was a living cicada on it.
The cicada’s body was stained with blood and crimson.
“Here it is!”
The person who drank the tea abruptly spread his body and came directly in front of the flag, removing it with one hand.
On the back was the content of the Cicada Master’s Order.
After he read it at a glance, his expression gave a slight lurch, then he looked at his old friend.
“Well?”
That person saw that he looked different and hurriedly opened his mouth to inquire.
Only after hesitating for a long time did the tea-drinking man slowly return to sit down in front of the table, placing the Cicada Lord’s order on the table and saying softly:
“The Cicada Lord forbids you and I from making a private move to kill the Eldest Princess.”
“Ah?”
The person on the opposite side froze.
Immediately following that, he heard the man continue:
“In addition, Lord Cicada told us to gather our men ……
“Set up an ambush thirty-five miles from the city.
“Kill the Eldest Princess first, then behead Shan Yuqi!”
“What?”
The man on the opposite side jumped up all of a sudden:
“What did I say? This is how it should be!!!”
For a moment, he danced around in excitement.
However, after the excitement, he remembered what the old fellow had said just now, and couldn’t help but look at the other party:
“But what you put just said also makes sense, then what should Jiang Ran do?”
“…… Cicada Lord on the order expressly said, this matter he has his own opinion, no need to pay attention to.
“We …… can do our best to follow the order!!!”
Drinking tea that person a probe hand, will this tea cup directly pressed in the table:
“That is, there is nothing to hesitate.
“Pass the order!!!”
“Good!”
The man leaped up, turned around and came to the wall, casually knocking on the wall several times with varying degrees of lightness, and the hidden door on the wall opened at once.
He picked up the stairs and quickly arrived at a room.
If Jiang Ran and Yan Wushuang were here, they would have recognized that the shape and arrangement of this room was exactly the same as the secret room where Changsun Wuji had put Yan Wushuang under house arrest!
That person came directly in front of the wall with the ‘Cicada’ shaped mark on it.
He took out a blood cicada from his pocket and placed it squarely in it.
In the next moment, the mechanism operated, and the wall rose a little bit.
A passageway appeared!
This kind of passageway, this kind of room, look at the entire capital city abound.
This was the secret of the Blood Cicada, and also their stronghold.
Taking the center point as the core, it spreads to almost the entire capital.
When needed, all the passages are opened, allowing the Blood Cicada experts to surge out, appearing in every street and alley in the capital at the fastest speed.
……
……
It was February when Jiang Ran and the others arrived in the capital.
Now that a month had passed in the blink of an eye, the warm spring of March was upon us, and the sheep were happy and the grass was long.
Although the weather was still cool, everything had begun to recover.
Early in the morning, this huge city gradually woke up, people walked out of their homes as usual, but did not go to do things as usual.
Instead, they talked in twos and threes on the streets.
The Eldest Princess was about to go on a mission to the Green Country!
This news was rumored half a month ago, but it was still yesterday that the time was actually set.
The trip was for the sake of peace between the Qing Kingdom and the Golden Cicada.
Thus, the people naturally cared.
And the Rapunzel’s carriage, also at this time, slowly traveled.
The Son of Heaven was in the front, the Princess was in the back, and the people were sandwiched between them.
The pomp and circumstance could not be said to be unprecedented, but it was a lively scene rarely seen in the capital.
Some of the people were excited, some were worried, and some were pointing at the people in the caravan.
The old Taoist priest wearing a purple Taoist robe and holding a floating dust, dressed in an immortal style, was the Taoist Lack of Reality.
Sitting on the back of a horse, dozing off and coming up with a big yawn every now and then, was Jian Wusheng.
But other than these, the other people the people had heard of the names, but most of them had never seen them before.
There were also people who saw their own family members and friends among the escorts accompanying them.
Excitedly, they waved their hands repeatedly.
The caravan naturally will not stop, so, in the middle of the people, in the civil and military ministers escort, a group of people from the city gate to leave.
The ministers who had not been assigned to accompany the caravan, each went back to their own busy lives.
Only left the emperor and the eldest princess’s carriage, all the way towards the direction of not away from the village rushed.
Although there are many people, surrounded by both the imperial guards, but also disguised as a retinue of the Mountain and Sea Association, and the Hundred Treasures Association of experts.
However, the speed of the crowd was not slow.
Thirty miles passed in a flash.
At noon, there was only a slight stay at the roadside, ate something and then continued on.
In the blink of an eye, they had traveled another three or four miles.
Dao Lacking Reality suddenly lifted his longevity eyebrow, picked his eyes to look ahead, and then said to an old eunuch not far away:
“On this road, it’s strangely lively.”
After he finished his sentence, he didn’t take it seriously, and didn’t think that this old eunuch could understand what he meant.
As a result, the old eunuch replied smoothly:
“This is the meaning of the question.”
After saying that, even footsteps a little turn in the air, straight to the distance and go.
One or two miles away, is not too far.
Between the eyes of the crowd, heard that the old eunuch deep into the bushes, within the bushes immediately there was the sound of screams.
Immediately followed by several bodies were thrown out.
Only then did the old eunuch slowly step out of the forest.
The eyes of the Dao Lacking Real Person lit up:
“Surprisingly, it’s a deep hide?”
