Chapter 414.
The last time he had seen Timiao was at the Red Maple Villa.
At that time, she had first been affected by the Chaotic Heart Funeral Chapter, and subsequently by the sword intent of the Soul Mourning Sword, Ding Feng, which had caused the Danyang Shedding Sword’s Sword Realm to become unstable, and she had remained unconscious.
After the battle at Red Maple Villa, she had been sent back to the Danyang Sword Sect for treatment.
Now there was a gap of almost a year.
Before the Flying Dragon Leader let the people lift the cage, Jiang Ran would never have thought that he would see this old acquaintance here.
It is just that nowadays the greetings are not beaten to go …… I have to say that it is also really in line with the character of this girl.
Danyang Sheshi Sword, is a taboo among the Danyang Sword School.
Practicing this martial art will give up a lot of things.
Indifferent to its own emotions …… Although it is only indifferent, not absent, it is as if it has a cognitive barrier, unable to effectively express its emotions.
So much so that all that Tokimau showed whether it was anger, joy, indistinctness, contemplation …… was a sword qi.
Nowadays, this kind of doings of leaving without even saying hello is really her regular operation.
And after being stopped by Jiang Ran, there was indeed another flash of sword aura in her eyes.
Then expressionless, she said:
“Go to Linglong Pavilion.”
“You pretended to be crazy and deliberately got captured by them just to go to Linglong Pavilion?”
Jiang Ran said smoothly, a conclusion that wasn’t hard to come to.
Just now, from within the Flying Dragon Leader’s narration, there was an extremely fatal break.
With Shimiao’s martial arts skills, it was impossible for her not to notice when this group of people were secretly spying on her.
The reason why she still deliberately fell into the trap, that was clearly something else.
Timiao slowly nodded her head.
Jiang Ran was about to open his mouth to say something when he heard a shout and turned his head to see the Flying Dragon Leader rushing forward with a head full of blood, slamming a palm in the air at Timiao.
Fangcai Flying Dragon Leader had been chased by Luo Qingyi.
Luo Qingyi with the Star Picking Hand, the Elephant Divine Fist was really not something that an ordinary person could resist.
The Flying Dragon’s head of the family tried his best, but also difficult to get away, knowing that under the certainty of death, can no longer control the heart of despair and grief, which is the only throw, want to use all their strength to sneak attack Shi Miao.
If you die, this is the meaning of the question.
If it is lucky to be able to take Shi Miao, then it will earn a lot of money.
Shi Miao’s eyes sword aura abruptly moved, flexing her fingers, a flash of sword aura so severe that it could almost pierce through one’s eyewear, burst out from her fingertips.
With only a flash, the ten fingers of the Flying Dragon Pawnbroker’s hands flew out in unison.
Immediately following the sword aura’s indulgence, above the Flying Dragon Pawnbroker’s brow, there was already an additional sword mark.
After killing the Flying Dragon Leader, Shi Miao’s eyes were flooded with layers of sword intent.
Jiang Ran could see that she had something on her mind, and after a little thought, he said:
“That girl who traveled with you, died?”
“…… Well.”
Timiao nodded:
“He used her parents to threaten her, in fact, her parents died a long time ago.
“After she watched me get caught, she asked him for her parents …… and then she was killed by this gang.
“They are the ones who did the evil, the first evil is Linglong Ting.
“I’m going to Linglong Pavilion to kill people, don’t block me …….”
As she said this, she bypassed Jiang Ran and was about to leave.
Jiang Ran, however, stopped her again.
Timiao’s eyes flashed with sword awns as she looked at Jiang Ran:
“What are you doing?”
“You came here alone?”
Jiang Ran asked.
“There’s also a senior brother.”
Timiao replied.
Jiang Ran sniffed in relief:
“What about this senior brother of yours? How did he let you stay here alone?”
“He died.”
“Did …… you kill him?”
“No.”
“…… Seeing how indifferent you sound, I thought it was you who moved.”
Jiang Ran pinched his brow.
“Why would I kill senior brother?”
Sword intent flowed through Timiao’s body, then she took a deep breath:
“Master said that the sword intent was too prevalent on me, and that I needed help to restrain it.
“When it is sheathed, then it is sheathed, otherwise, it should be stored in the sheath to nourish the intent.
“My brother volunteered, and I had nothing to do with it.
“Subsequently the two of us came to the Green Country …… and it turned out that in less than two months’ time, Elder Brother died at the hands of a gang of thieves.
“After I killed them and avenged my senior brother’s death, I have been wandering around the Green Country ever since.
“Killing those who should be killed, doing what should be done ……
“You don’t need to mind me.”
“I’m afraid that won’t work.”
Jiang Ran gently pinched his brow:
“Since your master’s clan even found you a senior brother to help you collect your sword intent when you went out.
“It’s evident that you still need someone by your side to take care of you.
“With your fierce temperament and unrivaled killing intent, you’re already considered lucky to have managed to hold on until now and not die in the Green Country.
“But that Linglong Pavilion is not an unusual place to go, behind the roots of the intertwined, you can certainly go over to kill a big, but can not return in one piece, but who knows?
“If I have not seen this thing, naturally I can not care.
“But since I’ve already seen it, if I still let you go on your own and act recklessly, I won’t have the face to see your master’s elders.”
“That’s right.”
Ye Shocking Frost also came to the two men at this time:
“Jiang …… husband is right.
“If I hadn’t seen you, naturally, I couldn’t care how reckless you were. But nowadays, you can’t be told to act like this.”
When Timiao heard Ye Jingshuang speak, his complexion softened a few points.
The Golden Cicada Jianghu has one clan, two associations, five swords, seven factions, and thirteen gangs.
Among them, the five major sword factions were very close.
Among them, Shi Miao’s Danyang Sword Sect and Ye Qingshuang’s Liuyun Sword Sect were even more like family.
So much so that these two girls have been close friends since long ago.
Jiang Ran’s bitter words were far inferior to Ye Jingshuang’s words.
Just that she heard Ye Jingshuang call Jiang Ran as her husband, her heart was a little surprised, her face was flooded with a touch of sword, twisted her head to look at Jiang Ran, and said to Ye Jingshuang:
“Senior sister …… you guys got married?”
Wanted to say no …… but considering that there were still outsiders, Ye Jingshang could only nod.
And gave a wink to Shi Miao.
Timiao although it seems simple, in fact, not so straight, see this eyes know that there is another mystery in this, then nodded and did not ask more questions.
After thinking for a moment, he said:
“Since senior sister has said so, then I naturally listen to you.
“It s just that …… Linglong Pavilion has killed countless people by grass, and people like the Flying Dragon Pawnbroker also abound when looking at the Jianghu.
“These people, all deserve to die.”
Obviously the heart of executing Linglong Pavilion did not dissipate.
In fact, not only her, Jiang Ran also had no good feelings towards this Linglong Pavilion after listening to those words of Master Flying Dragon.
Especially when in the middle he had said that Timiao could only be sold to Linglong Pavilion.
Because Linglong Pavilion could help him deal with the matter of the village of people that he had poisoned to death.
The so-called human life is of great importance, hundreds of human life, can because of Linglong Ting’s a sale, and completely cover up as if nothing happened.
This kind of situation has one will have two, for this horizontal death of people do not know how many more.
This kind of existence, indeed should be killed.
But the problem is that …… now Jiang Ran has enemies everywhere.
If the conditions permit, he is not even willing to keep Shi Miao by his side, but if Shi Miao wants to go to Linglong Pavilion to find death, then it is better to stay by his side to be safe.
Just under these circumstances, then go to care about Linglong Pavilion’s idle matters, more or less a bit out of place.
Fortunately, although Shi Miao was full of murderous intent towards Linglong Pavilion, he wouldn’t ask Jiang Ran to kill them.
Jiang Ran and Ye Qingshuang pacified Shi Miao on their side.
The gang of men brought by Master Flying Dragon were also surrounded by Luo Qingyi, Tian Miaomiao and the others, and were all killed on the spot.
The woman among them was already seriously injured.
Tian Miaomiao can not see a high and low, prefer to go up to challenge, the result of a punch down, the person hit the tendons and bones broken, directly dead on the spot.
After killing people, it is to find a place to dig a pit to bury people.
This is simple, and Bai Lu’s guards did not catch the action, this time they have to help.
Ye Shocking Frost brought Shi Miao over to catch up with the past.
Princess of all this is cold-eyed, did not say anything.
In fact, if she were a different person, she would have been scratching her head.
But she also knows Shi Miao, know her origin, so did not care too much.
The child in Bai Lu’s arms, by this clamor caused once again bawling.
She had to coax it in a low voice, but her eyes were wandering, although she was coaxing the child, her mind was not on the child at all.
A figure came and sat down in front of her.
Bai Lu subconsciously turned around and realized that the one sitting beside her was actually Jiang Ran.
Her heart tightened and she whispered:
“Why are you sitting here, Mr. Jiang ……?”
“I actually like children.”
Jiang Ran moved over to look at the child in Bai Lu’s arms and laughed:
“It’s just that there are times when listening to a child’s cries is still a bit annoying ……”
“I’ve disturbed the Prince.”
Bai Lu bit her lip, wanting to speak.
“No harm done.”
Jiang Ran stretched out his finger and gently poked the child’s face, it was pink and tender, quite addictive.
Still, he withdrew his hand, resisting the urge to poke it again.
Smiling at Bai Lu, he stood up to return to his original seat.
“Gongzi ……”
Bai Lu suddenly called out to Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran turned back to look at her, but Bai Lu fell into silence again, and only after a long time did she speak:
“The man with the bow and arrow by your side ……
“He, what is he?”
“His name is Li Tianyu.”
Jiang Ran laughed:
“It’s my escort …… Why is Young Lady Qiu suddenly asking about him?”
“Do you know where he came from?”
Bai Lu’s words came out of her mouth with such urgency that it seemed that even she herself hadn’t realized it.
Jiang Ran glanced at her in surprise and let out a light laugh:
“The people around me, only need to be loyal to me, as for what origin …… this is not important.
“The lady has this question, but it is called Jiang Mou curious ……
“Could it be that the madam knows his origin?”
“I ……”
Bai Lu opened her mouth, but gave a bitter smile:
“I don’t know …… what can I know as a woman’s family?
“Mr. Jiang thinks highly of me.”
Jiang Ran clearly saw that her words were not true, but he didn’t get to the bottom of it and just smiled:
“It is indeed difficult for madam, that is, then I won’t ask.”
“But ……”
Bai Lu opened her mouth just as Jiang Ran turned around:
“You can discipline this underling of yours …… The martial arts he uses seems to be very similar to the rebels of a clan in the Green Country.
“Have him never strike in front of people.
“Otherwise, it is highly likely that a misunderstanding will arise ……”
“Traitor?”
Jiang Ran nodded lightly:
“It’s naturally not difficult …… However, can madam tell me about this rebel thief? I’m traveling the Jianghu, that is, I want to see more people in the world and know more about the world.”
“…… Good.”
Bai Lu moved slightly to the side, this time the meaning was obvious.
Jiang Ran then sat beside her.
Bai Lu slowly opened her mouth by this point, but her voice was low, her tone carrying a hint of scorn.
“The history of that clan of rebels is actually very long.
“It can be traced back to hundreds of years ago, when the Green Kingdom was just founded.
“In addition to the founding emperor’s valor, broad-mindedness, and far-sightedness, there were also several capable ministers by his side to help him, which opened up the Qing Kingdom’s foundation for hundreds of years.
“And one of them, although the reputation is not visible in the jianghu, but is the god of the bow, his name is Jin.
“Jin’s lineage has been passed down.
“Generations of officials and generals, for the Qing Kingdom for the Sage, the liver and brain, bow and scrape.”
When Jiang Ran silently heard this, he smiled and said:
“So it seems that it’s the Jin descendants who have risen up to be insubordinate.
“Unwilling to be subjugated to others, that’s why they had the intention of plotting against them?”
“It’s even worse than that!”
Bai Lu glanced at Jiang Ran and said softly:
“Does Your Excellency know about the …… Demon Cult?”
Jiang Ran was stunned at the words.
How was this still related to the Demon Cult?
Could it be that Jin’s lineage had been compelled by which holy maiden of the Devil Cult had used her heart and soul with demonic thoughts?
Couldn’t it be …… Mrs. Qing Yang?
Jiang Ran instantly felt a little bad.
It was just that his expression fell into Bai Lu’s eyes, but it became another meaning, and he immediately let out a bitter smile:
“Mr. Jiang’s martial arts skills are world-class and he has seen a lot, how could he not know about the Devil Cult.
“However, even if Mr. Jiang knows about the Demon Sect, I’m afraid he also doesn’t know that the five countries’ chaotic war that stirred up the world more than twenty years ago.
“It was actually instigated by the Devil Cult. ……
“Very few people knew about it at that time, it could be called a phoenix feather.
“What even fewer people knew was that the …… Jin Clan lineage was also involved in the siege of the Demon Cult.
“Yet, I never expected that they would turn back on the battlefield.
“Not only did they not eradicate those evil demons with their superior archery skills, but instead they colluded with the demonic sect and slaughtered my Qing Kingdom’s experts.
“When this matter came out, the whole country was shocked!
“The Jin Clan’s lineage became as beloved as royalty among the common people.
“As the saying goes, the more you love, the more you blame.
“The more so, is also called people can hardly tolerate the betrayal of the Jin Clan lineage.
“Only the ordinary people do not know the magic religion in this also has a role, they only know, five countries on the battlefield, the Jin lineage as much as defection.
“Overnight, they went from being heroes admired by millions of people to traitors to their country.”
Jiang Ran’s brows furrowed slightly:
“The Devil Cult’s methods are treacherous and unpredictable, hasn’t it ever been considered that it was the people of the Jin Clan lineage who participated in that battle at the time that were compelled by the Devil Cult?”
“Normally, the first thought would be this.”
Bai Lu let out a bitter smile:
“But those people of the Jin Clan who were not involved in that battle suddenly assassinated His Holiness.
“Wanting to cause chaos in my Qing Kingdom.
“This move would not be as simple as demonic compulsion.
“After it happened, there was a lot of talk going around.
“Some people say that this game of chess by the Jin Clan lineage has actually been a dark move from the beginning of the founding of the Green Country.
“It’s just that for many years, they haven’t had the right opportunity to stir up a storm.
“The five kingdoms are in turmoil, but it just gave them a chance to rebel.
“For this reason, they went out of their way to be in cahoots with the Demon Sect.
“But …… as the saying goes, the way to win is more helpful and the way to lose is less helpful.
“The heavens can’t even look down on this kind of practice.
“Therefore, they fell back in the middle of the battlefield without bringing much harm to us.
“Their attempts to assassinate the king and kill the emperor also ended in failure.
“Immediately after this incident, the then Emperor decreed that the Jin Clan should be taken down and put in the Heavenly Prison.
“In the end, all nine clans were exterminated!”
As she said this, she looked at Jiang Ran:
“However, the Jin Clan lineage’s family-transmitted Cloud Chasing and Moon Chasing Archery Technique, although it is not known by most people,” she said.
“But in this Jianghu, there are still people who understand it after all.
“The archery skill of this guard of yours is really similar to that Cloud Chasing and Moon Chasing Archery.
“You can never let him show in front of people ……
“After all, the news that there is a remaining member of the Jin Clan lineage has been circulating in the streets.
“It says that he …… will one day make a comeback and head to the palace grounds to retrieve the [Cloud Chasing Bow] [Moon Repelling Arrow] that was taken away by His Majesty.
“And then His Majesty, shot dead on top of the dragon chair.
“To avenge the destruction of the nine clans!”
Bai Lu’s words ended here.
Jiang Ran felt, however, after listening to them, that something was very wrong with these words.
First of all, Bai Lu had obviously recognized that what Li Tian Yu had used was precisely the Cloud Chasing and Moon Chasing Arrow Technique.
But she actually took it seriously and confessed to herself.
This could be said to be a kind reminder.
After all, she was still counting on herself to protect her from successfully returning to the Autumn Clan.
But in this next narrative, the things she knew were a bit too much.
She knew that that battle back then had something to do with the Demon Sect.
She herself said that very few people knew about this matter, so how did she know?
And in her narration, it was not seen that she had any hatred for that traitor.
On the contrary, when she said that sentence ‘shooting His Majesty to death on top of the dragon chair’, a hint of pain unconsciously showed in her eyes.
Plus, when she spoke of the Jin Clan’s lineage falling back on the battlefield, yet not hurting a single bit of the Green Kingdom’s military.
Assassinating His Majesty and yet returning without any success.
Jiang Ran was acquainted with Li Tianyu’s Cloud Chasing Arrow.
It was an extremely powerful archery skill.
He didn’t dare to say that he could take someone’s life from a thousand miles away, however, within a range of more than ten miles, if he wanted to kill someone, he could still do so.
Daring to set foot on the battlefield to deal with the Demon Cult, the one who sent out was bound to be an expert in the family.
Such a person fell on his sword, but couldn’t kill a few people?
Isn’t this odd?
To assassinate the king and kill the driver, it can’t be in plain sight.
Find a few more archery skills, a few miles apart, a round of shooting, by virtue of chasing clouds and moon archery …… which even if the emperor of the Qing State has a capable person around, the probability of directly getting killed is also very high.
What’s more, Bai Lu’s words also mentioned the Cloud Chasing Bow and Moon Chasing Arrow.
Obviously, they were specialized weapons that matched the martial arts.
Under these circumstances, yet all of them did nothing, and the nine clans were put to death without any effort on the part of the Qing Kingdom.
If there were no problems here, Jiang Ran would find it hard to believe.
And this point seems to be what Bai Lu intentionally revealed.
Such words, always called Jiang Ran can not help but give birth to suspicion …… What is this woman in the end?
