Chapter 436.

The phrase ‘This Palace is dead’ directly called everyone present wide-eyed.

Especially Chen Mu.

He stayed for a long time before he looked at Princess Xiyue in dismay, and then at Hundred Wood Sect’s Zhen Cheng.

Between his four eyes, he suddenly turned his head to look at Jiang Ran:

“What the hell is going on here?”

“This is Monkey Wine!?”

Jiang Ran, however, answered, and as the words fell, with a shake of his hand, Chen Mu felt an empty space in front of him, and when he looked up again, the altar had already arrived in Jiang Ran’s arms.

He looked up and down, left and right, and after a moment, he was about to tilt his head back to pour.

But just about to take a mouthful, as if he thought of something, he immediately shouted to Luo Qingyi:

“Bowl.”

Luo Qingyi heard his voice eager, immediately dare not be slow, hurriedly from the baggage to find the bowl, a shake of the hand thrown to Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran immediately poured a bowl of wine.

Only then did he put his mouth together and drink it, his face now showing some intoxicated color:

“Good good good …… entrance fruit and wood fragrance, sweet and mellow, really is a good wine.”

Although strictly speaking, it is not as good as the Thousand Yun Mountain Villa’s Indulgent High Song.

But once he thought that this thing was brewed by chance by the monkeys in the mountains, Jiang Ran felt that the flavor of this thing was really wonderful.

“So Uncle Jiang …… Jiang is good at wine.”

Chen Mu smiled:

“This is indeed Monkey Wine, we got it by chance in the mountains.

“I didn’t dare to waste it, so I put it in the altar. This thought, to wait to return to the imperial capital and then bring, but did not expect to meet uncle Zhen and …… and uncle Jiang ……

“That’s why I brought it to treat the guests.”

Jiang Ran nodded and did not say anything, pouring wine bowl by bowl, and only after drinking three bowls in a row did Zhen Cheng respond:

“You leave some for me.”

Saying this, he also shouted to Luo Qingyi:

“Bring the bowl.”

Luo Qingyi ignored him and just distributed bowls to her own people one by one.

Only at the end did she give him a bowl.

Angry Zhen Cheng almost jumped to his feet.

Jiang Ran drank three large bowls in a row, then poured a bowl for everyone present, and this altar of wine bottomed out.

He nourished this last bowl of wine and sighed softly:

“It’s a pity that Monkey’s Wine can be found but not sought.

“After this bowl is finished, I don’t know when I will be able to savor the taste of this kind of wine again in the future.

“Right, what did you ask me just now?”

Chen Mu woke up as if from a dream and slapped his head:

“Uncle Jiang, what the hell is going on?

“Didn’t you say that Princess Xi Yue had already been killed by that evil thief Jiang Ran a long time ago?

“But now …… how did she end up here?”

“This matter is a long story.”

Jiang Ran glanced at Zhen Cheng:

“This senior uncle of yours, Zhen, also knows.

“I became acquainted with this Xiyue by chance.

“She was being hunted at the time and called herself Princess Xi Yue, which none of us believed.

“But seeing her as a weak woman, wandering around the jungle was not a solution after all.

“That’s why I took her along, and the result was that by nightfall, the people who were chasing and killing her had really come.

“At that time, your uncle Zhen just happened to pass by, hit that rubbing rice.

“Witnessed the group of people who called themselves the Amazing God Sword Jiang Ran and his party.

“As a result, as soon as they made a move, the martial art used by the person who called himself Jiang Ran was actually the Fire Melting Knife.”

“Fire Melting Knife ……”

Chen Mu pondered a little before realizing:

“Could it be that it’s the heir of the Fusion God Blade Winning White Eyebrows from twenty years ago?”

“That’s right.”

Zhen Cheng said:

“His person called himself the Winning Divine Blade.

“Impersonating Jiang Ran and chasing after the Eldest Princess, this matter was something I witnessed with my own eyes.

“If it wasn’t for Brother Jiang at that time, your senior uncle and I would have been buried for many hours now.”

“I see …… so.”

Chen Mu was immediately impressed with Jiang Ran:

“Uncle Jiang turned out to be this strong in martial arts, teaming up with Uncle Zhen, Jiang Ran was able to outwit the heir of the Rong Shen Blade.

“In that case, it seems that it was still Uncle Zhen who saved us today.”

“It’s good to know.”

Zhen Cheng yawned and said:

“What you did today is akin to a three year old urchin showing his teeth at a tiger.

“Afraid that others don’t know that your skin is delicate and tender.”

Chen Mu was a bit embarrassed.

Wanting to say something to save his face, he really had nothing to say.

And Jiang Ran spoke up at this time:

“After this battle, Princess Xi Yue’s identity has only been made known to us.

“Thinking that she came to the Green Country for the sake of family and state affairs.

“We naturally can’t ignore it.

“We decided to escort Princess Xi Yue to the Imperial Capital to meet with the Qing Emperor.

“so that we could discuss an alliance.

“But taking into account, this behind the pursuit of the heart of the person is not dead, so we do not dare to walk on the official road, although not necessarily afraid of the open sword, but ultimately have to beware of hidden arrows.

“That’s why in the mountains and wild forests, seeking that wild path to catch up.”

Chen Mu listened to these words, and immediately stood in awe:

“Uncle Jiang has the world in his heart and is a man of benevolence and righteousness.

“To eat and sleep in the wind and go to great lengths is really something that my nephew admires!”

Princess Xi Yue grinned straight as she listened on the side.

Not long ago, she was still showing her teeth at Jiang Ran, but now she’s admiring him?

This big devil surnamed Jiang really has a hand in fooling people.

Between a few words, this little fan is going to bow down.

But do not know to wait until you know this surname Jiang’s name in the end who, and what will be the expression?

“Whether it’s benevolent or not is another story.”

Zhen Cheng suddenly spoke:

“In this matter, there are two things that are most puzzling to my mind.

“The first thing ……

“Jiang Ran brought the Princess into the territory of my Green Country, and then disappeared without a trace.

“Where exactly are they now?

“The second thing ……

“Since it wasn’t Jiang Ran who went after Princess Xi Yue, who on earth could it be?

“This person impersonated and confused the public, seemingly trying to plant evidence.

“What’s more, without being sure whether Princess Xi Yue is alive or dead, he dares to spread the rumor that the princess is dead.

“I’m not afraid of the rest, but I’m just worried that once this rumor takes hold.

“Even if it’s true, it will become false.”

These words were considered to be above the point.

Princess Xi Yue was still alive, but not many people knew that she was alive.

The other party said that she was dead, and even if Princess Xi Yue was standing right here, if there was no way to prove her identity, then her identity wouldn’t be valid.

Those who had the heart could even turn black and white upside down and just say that she was an impostor, and that her heart was punishable.

And then reverse the situation, so that this Princess Xiyue really became a dead princess.

Then this knot, will never be solved.

Jiang Ran took a small sip of this monkey wine, and then looked at Princess Xi Yue:

“Do you have a way to prove your identity?”

“Naturally.”

Princess Xi Yue took out a token, a scroll of curses, and an imperial decree from her bosom.

“The token is my princess order.

“The book of curricula is the matters of alliance that my father handed over to me before my departure.

“The holy decree, on the other hand, is the proof that my father asked me to come to the Green Country to make an alliance.”

“All of them are dead things ……”

Jiang Ran asked:

“Is there a living person who can prove it?”

“There is!”

Princess Xi Yue said:

“The matter of alliance is not a small matter, before this palace arrived in the Qing Kingdom there were already ambassadors from the Qing Kingdom and my Autumn Leaves in each other’s capitals, discussing the matter prelude.

“It was only after the various matters had been roughly agreed upon that the Palace came to discuss the key details.

“This envoy has met me in the palace.

“He can prove this Palace’s identity.”

Jiang Ran nodded:

“If it was me, who wanted to plant evidence to make you, the living princess, completely ‘dead’, then I would have erased all human and material evidence.

“Let you have no place to defend …… this ambassador’s life, only to be afraid of already at stake.

“Whether it’s life or death now, it’s hard to predict.”

Chen Mu heard this and felt a brain fog:

“Wait wait wait …… How do I listen to you guys talk and feel quaint.

“That’s the Autumn Leaf envoy, how could there be a risk to his life?

“Whoever planted the evidence behind Jiang Ran, does he still have the ability to kill the envoys of other countries in the royal capital of my Qing Kingdom?”

After he said this, everyone present fell into silence.

Princess Xi Yue, on the other hand, looked at Jiang Ran somewhat nervously:

“What should we do now?”

“Now ah ……”

Jiang Ran drank from his bowl and sighed lightly:

“It’s hard to do now …… the only thing you can do is that you should eat and drink, and go to the imperial capital earlier, before you can know whether that ambassador is alive or dead.

“Well, what is that person’s name?”

“Ye Donglai.”

Jiang Ran’s face was pensive, and he glanced at Zhen Cheng, but then shook his head.

Zhen Cheng froze:

“What does this shaking of your head mean?”

“It means nothing.”

Jiang Ran shook his head again.

“…… always feel like I’m being underestimated ah.”

Breathlessness permeated Zhen Cheng’s voice:

“If you want me to go to the Imperial Capital one step ahead of time to find out whether this Ye Donglai is alive or dead, and incidentally protect this person, you should just say so.”

“Forget it.”

Jiang Ran gently waved his hand:

“I have another disposition for this matter, it’s just a pity that no matter what we do nowadays, it’s all a matter of doing our best and listening to heaven’s fate.”

The crowd looked at me and I looked at you, they had the intention to ask Jiang Ran what exactly he had in mind, but seeing that he didn’t want to talk about it, the crowd didn’t ask.

It was just that Chen Mu’s face did not look good.

It always felt like what Jiang Ran and the others were talking about was more serious than imagined.

The other disciples of the Xuanji Academy were also each composed.

None of them were fools, the other party was able to be scorned by Jiang Ran and Zhen Cheng like this, so it could be seen that the power was not small.

The current situation was truly as Jiang Ran had said, do your best and listen to God’s fate.

After all, after such a long time, no one dares to say that Ye Donglai is still on earth.

Even Princess Xi Yue did not dare to make such a promise.

However, when Luo Qingyi served up the dinner, everyone instantly came out of this mood and started grabbing the food like wolves and tigers.

The wildness of the gesture really called Jiang Ran to be impressed by this group of readers.

Wine and dine, each rest not to mention.

Time has come to the late night in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Ran silently opened his eyes, his body shifted and left from the cave.

He hadn’t attracted anyone’s attention.

Between the forest trees, Jiang Ran stopped his steps and spoke softly:

“Come out.”

A silhouette then abruptly landed behind Jiang Ran:

“Young Zun.”

The person who came was none other than Wang Heng.

Ever since the beginning of the Autumn Clan’s clan land, Wang Heng had been following behind Jiang Ran and the others.

Without Jiang Ran’s orders, he would never show himself.

Thus even when facing the Winning Divine Blade, he had yet to make a move.

It was only until this moment that Jiang Ran took the initiative to summon him.

“It’s highly likely that Jun Hejia is in the Imperial Capital,” he said.

“You go ahead and find Autumn Leaf Envoy Officer Ye Donglai.

“If this person is alive, find out what he is doing and help protect him as much as you can without exposing yourself.

“If this man is dead, come back as soon as possible to pass the word.

“However, if Jun Hejia is truly within the Imperial Capital.

“Then this Imperial Capital is a dragon’s den, and you must be careful and mindful when you go in and out.

“You can mess up the errands you’ve been given, but your own life must be protected.

“Only when you have a useful body can you do other things for me.”

Jiang Ran said this and turned back to Wang Heng:

“Do you understand?”

Wang Heng flopped to his knees:

“I am willing to die in the service of Young Sovereign.”

“It’s unlucky to die, if you’ve heard and understood my words, go.”

Jiang Ran said softly:

“If everything is fine, you and I will meet again in the Imperial Capital.”

“Yes.”

After saying that, his figure flashed and rushed into the darkness of the night without a trace.

Jiang Ran gently exhaled a breath, looked down at his palms, and after rubbing his palms, he then reached out and pulled a hand.

Ye Shockfang had walked behind him at an unknown time.

“I don’t know how, as soon as you leave, I inexplicably wake up with a start.”

Ye Shockfang leaned against Jiang Ran’s back:

“Was it Wang Heng who left just now?”

“Uh-huh.”

Jiang Ran nodded:

“I asked him to go to the Imperial Capital first to look after Ye Donglai.”

“Well, I guess that’s what you intend to do as well.”

Ye Qingshen leaned herself into Jiang Ran’s arms and said softly:

“The terroir of the Qing Kingdom is very different from the Golden Cicada.

“The mountains and landscapes are also very different.

“It’s a pity that this trip was rushed and I couldn’t take a good tour ……”

“To wait for the future, I have nothing to do, then take you …… guys, traveling the five countries and four seas place, step all over the green mountains can be good?”

Jiang Ran looked down at Ye Shockfang.

Since the initial acquaintance of that night, to this moment.

Among the experience of wind and rain a lot, obviously before and after only a year apart, but it is like a past life and present life.

Ye Jingshang nodded vigorously:

“Then I want to eat lots and lots of delicious food and see lots and lots of beautiful scenery.”

“Well, I want it too.”

Jiang Ran smiled:

“I want to drink all the world’s fine wines ……”

“Enjoy all the beautiful people in the world?”

Ye Shockfang suddenly snickered with odd eyes.

Jiang Ran froze and burst into tears:

“You’ve learned to be bad …… However, this matter is indeed me apologizing to you.”

“I’m just joking.”

Ye Shocking Frost said with a smile:

“Big brother Jiang, you ……”

Her words had just gotten here when she saw Jiang Ran’s face change slightly.

The words that followed could not be uttered immediately and turned into:

“What’s wrong?”

“Someone.”

Jiang Ran said softly:

“Hurrying under the night, it reminds me of you when we first met.”

“Could it be that someone is chasing?”

Ye Shockfang glanced at Jiang Ran:

“Do you want to take a look?”

“Also good ……”

Jiang Ran thought for a moment and agreed.

This realm was not far from the capital.

Surrounded by many jianghu characters, things involved in a thousand threads and knots, some people in the middle of this nonsense, a little look, may not be a bad thing.

At that moment, Jiang Ran brought Ye Shocking Frost, his body shape swayed towards the place where the sound came from.

However, in a few moments, he had already arrived at a corner of the dense forest.

He saw a woman in black, covered in blood, running for her life in the dense forest.

While running forward, she also looked back.

But did not want to, just at this time of turning back, a hook lock suddenly came in the air.

The woman’s face changed, the figure immediately rose up in the air, in mid-air in a row rotating, letting go of this hook lock life, but do not want to wait for the landing, a touch of the knife has been from the mid-air in the bombardment fell.

The woman’s hands two short knives immediately crossed between the chest and abdomen.

Only to hear the sound of a ding.

Even people with knives, was this brutal knife directly from the mid-air to the ground above.

Fortunately, she was prepared for this, with one hand setting up the knife, and the other hand striking out one after another.

This posture is difficult to vacillate between square inches, the man had to fly backward leap, letting go of the blade.

And at this moment, a little sharpness from the darkness lit up again.

The woman recognized the danger, a hand on the ground, want to dodge but in the end not as good, shoulder has been hit by a dart.

Immediately stifled a grunt and retreated two steps.

When she raised her eyes, her eyes were all colors of grief and anger:

“What kind of people are you in the end?

“Why are you doing this to us, viciously!?”

Three silhouettes were seen slowly approaching.

One was dragging a hook-locked iron chain in his hand, and one was dragging a large, wide-backed greatsword.

Only one person stood with his arms folded, his hands empty amongst them.

After the three people heard the woman’s words, they glanced at each other, and then they heard the one grasping the hook and chain in his hand suddenly give a lewd smile:

“Suddenly, I realized that this woman looks quite a bit better.”

“…… Are you really hungry?

“The people who paid to let them die, gave us silver, enough for you to find hundreds of such goods.”

The man with the broad-backed sword in his hand frowned.

“But in the end, it’s not nearly as interesting, I like these kind of untamed ones.”

The man with the hook lock licked his lips:

“I heard that that Jiang Ran was originally a hungry man of color.

“The beautiful women around him are like clouds …… It is also reasonable for him to see color.

“Right?”

As he spoke, he looked towards the man standing with his hands at the end.

He saw that man’s eyes were slightly raised, starbursts flickering, and hidden killing opportunities flowing.

With just a single look, the man holding the hook lock already had chills in his heart and let out a dry laugh:

“I… I was just talking casually.”

“Kill her.”

That person only spoke at this point:

“Remember to leave that sentence.”

“Yes.”

The man with the hook lock in his hand sighed and looked towards the woman in black:

“It’s a pity, a pity, originally I wanted to let you enjoy some extreme happiness on earth before you die.

“Now it seems that you can only die like this.”

That woman had already been filled with indignation from what she had heard, and now, without waiting for them to take the lead, she had already double knives together, straight for the throat of the person holding the hook lock.

“Still in a hurry.”

The person holding the hook lock laughed, and turned the hook lock with both hands, blocking the double knife chopping.

They had been fighting each other for many hours, and the injuries on this woman’s body were all their doing, and they already knew her martial arts like the back of their hand.

Knowing that even though how she used up her double knives, she definitely could not break through her defense.

Therefore while wielding the chains to fend off the twin knives, he also gave a wink to his companion.

Letting him strike from behind and leave earlier after killing the people.

However, he didn’t want to, just at the moment when the blade touched the chain, something changed!

The blade clicked, even without the slightest ripple, directly from the chain from the middle of the split in two, the blade flashed, the person holding the hook lock incredulously reach out to touch their own throat.

Blood gurgling flow, the figure of the ground.

This time, not only the killer stunned, even the woman is also stunned to look at the knife in their hands, a face blindfolded.
