Chapter 453.
Of course, Jiang Ran’s current complex emotions were not felt by Li Tianyu and the others.
Bai Lu was still annoyed by Li Tian Yu’s sudden change of mind:
“Earlier you said that even if there is no destiny in this life, we should live without the same coverlet and die in the same hole ……
“Now you are asking Mr. Jiang to protect me, and what do you mean?
“Do you think …… I will live alone in this world if anything happens to you?”
Li Tianyu still didn’t answer, still banking on Jiang Ran to give him an answer.
Bai Lu was furious:
“Speak up!!!”
Jiang Ran also looked up at Li Tianyu:
“Yeah, speak up, what the hell do you think?”
“……”
Li Tianyu froze, based on his understanding of Jiang Ran, to suddenly change the topic at this time was to be unwilling to agree to his request.
His eyes flashed with a dull color for a split second.
In the end, he gently exhaled a breath:
“It’s my abruptness …… I’m sorry big brother, I’ve delayed your time.”
Jiang Ran sighed:
“Alright, alright, I know about you guys, I’ll think about it.
“Well …… give you guys an answer tomorrow.
“Autumn young lady …… forget it, Bai Lu you don’t get excited.
“He may be drilling into the bull’s eye, what I have to agree or refuse may not be his request.
“All in all, tomorrow when the time comes we will discuss separately.
“You guys have a nice chat, I’ll leave you to it.”
With that, he stood up and was about to leave.
Instead, it was that Shang Wuming who suddenly spoke:
“Mr. Jiang …… regardless of whether you agree or not, this matter is very secret, please also ask Mr. Jiang can keep his mouth shut about this.”
“This is natural.”
Jiang Ran glanced at Shang Wuming:
“Speaking of which, I’m quite curious. What is the relationship between Your Excellency and these two? Surprisingly, they are involved in this kind of matter……. One needs to know that the Devil Cult is by no means a good match.
“Their plan still has some whimsical places.
“After all, as far as the devil religion is concerned, it is difficult to have the characterization when it moves with its heart.
“They could have taken Bai Lu down by force the moment you made your request, forcing her to hand over the so-called secret treasure.
“The slightest carelessness in this matter is a dead end ……”
“I was once favored by someone, and now that I’ve been able to meet the son of a deceased person, I naturally have to protect him with my life.”
Shang Wuming’s words were simple, and so were his reasons.
After Jiang Ran was silent for a moment, he solemnly clasped his fists:
“Admirable.”
Only after saying that did he turn around and leave.
Bai Lu and Li Tianyu couldn’t be bothered to argue and hurriedly went out to see them off.
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, called up Tian Miao Miao, who was still looking around, and prepared to return to the inn.
When he reached the gate of the courtyard, he glanced back at Li Tianyu and Bai Lu, who had already built up her fighting strength and was ready to fight Li Tianyu to the death.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Ran spoke:
“Tian Yu, you also give me a ride.”
“…… Good.”
Li Tianyu froze for a moment, then nodded.
Bai Lu hummed at Li Tian Yu, the meaning was obvious, when you come back, there’s something in store for you.
The corners of Li Tianyu’s mouth spread into a bitter smile.
Then he followed behind Jiang Ran.
Zhen Cheng and Chen Mu had also wanted to follow them back, today had wanted to introduce Jiang Ran to a few people to get to know, now there was no need to introduce them, there weren’t many in the entire courtyard that didn’t recognize Jiang Ran.
There is no need to introduce them now, there are not many people in the whole courtyard who don’t know Jiang Ran.
But Jiang Ran let them stay here to watch the fun for a while.
It was obvious that Jiang Ran had something to say, and it wasn’t suitable for the two of them to hear.
The two people are informed and sensible, so they stayed.
On the way back, there were countless jianghu characters around.
Li Tianyu walked behind Jiang Ran with a heavy heart.
Jiang Ran thought for a moment and opened his mouth to ask:
“What are the plans for the future?”
“Huh?”
Li Tianyu froze, then let out a bitter smile:
“I already don’t dare to think about the future ……
“In fact, according to my mind, there is no need to be so obsessive about some things.
“However, as a person with no memory, I also have no qualifications or position to persuade her to give up all this.
“After all, it is she who has been paying everything for this all along, not me.
“Even if I hadn’t lost my memories, I would have merely fallen within the Lifeless Building and become an unrecognized assassin.
“All I think about now is that one day counts, and being able to stay by her side is good enough.”
The helplessness of these words could be experienced by Jiang Ran.
It could also be seen that Li Tianyu was truly in love with Bai Lu.
This love was not a love at first sight, it was perhaps the most valuable thing among his missing memories.
So even under the premise of losing his memory, after seeing Bai Lu, after hearing those things that Bai Lu said, it was no longer difficult to suppress that kind of budding in his heart.
Perhaps, when Li Tian Yu was being a killer, his heart was also, at all times, missing this tiny fiancée from his childhood.
And for the current Li Tian Yu, who had no past memories, he naturally felt that Bai Lu was the most important.
But he was not qualified to persuade her to give up all this and go with him to enjoy the rest of her life.
The only thing he could do now was to go and help her, even if he had to give his life for it.
Jiang Ran smacked his lips, then laughed:
“There’s no need to be so pessimistic …… What I want to ask you is that if you all survive, you’ll also be able to take will the Cloud Chasing Bow and the Moon Repelling Arrow again.
“You plan to just keep going on like this with Bai Lu? Without a name or a title?”
“…… I, I dare not make this extravagant hope.”
“Why?”
“She married …… someone else.”
“You dislike her?”
“How?”
“How is that? Don’t forget, she’s married yes, but her husband is dead.
“Now she’s a widow and orphan, don’t you want to do something for her future life?”
“Can I ……?”
Li Tianyu looked at Jiang Ran with some dismay, a hint of hope in his eyes.
But soon, it dimmed again:
“What she likes is actually not the current me …… but the memories of her childhood.
“And I, I no longer have those memories.”
“……”
Jiang Ran rolled his eyes:
“Pretentious.”
“Huh?”
Li Tianyu looked at Jiang Ran in confusion, thinking he had heard wrong.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to meet someone.”
“Who?”
“Your brother.”
……
……
With confused eyes, Li Tianyu looked at the girl in front of him, who was obviously much younger than himself, bright-eyed and full of sweetness.
Then looked at Jiang Ran.
He only felt that his brain was all mush.
How could he not associate this face with Li Tianxin’s waxy face in one place.
What’s more, the height didn’t match either.
This girl was so short and petite, but Li Tianxin was a tall man.
How is this …… this possible?
“What? Don’t recognize brother?”
Tang Yuyi raised her embroidered eyebrows:
“Still not greet me? Not big or small ……”
When she said the first half of the sentence, her voice was sweet, and when she said the second half, she suddenly became hoarse and cold.
It was precisely the voice of Li Tianxin.
When Li Tian Yu heard this voice, he no longer had the slightest doubt and said with a bitter smile on his face:
“Surprisingly, it’s really you …… I’ve been tricked by you so miserably.”
“Be content, not getting you killed is already a blessed life for you.”
Tang Painting Yi hummed:
“Moreover, if it wasn’t for that old thing Gu Xi Zhi, the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword, who flatly intervened at that time, you would also have died ……
“Come, look at me.”
As soon as the last three words left his mouth, Li Tianyu couldn’t help but look at Tang Yuyi.
In his eyes, he was in a trance.
Obviously Tang Wuyi had already unleashed her heart demonic thoughts.
While Li Tianyu didn’t notice anything wrong at this moment, his mouth asked:
“What are you looking at?”
“What’s your name?”
“Li …… I don’t know ……”
“Think carefully.”
“…… can’t think …… why suddenly ask this, I lost my past memories, you know that ah.”
When Li Tianyu said here, his eyebrows were tightly locked, but there was no color of pain on his face:
“Only, I vaguely remember that when I was a child, I used to pull out a bird’s nest for Xiao Lu …… and take her down to the river to catch fish.”
“When was that?”
“Summer …… one summer.”
“In what place?”
“On the outskirts of the imperial capital …… Cuiyangzhuang.
“That was the summer resort of the Jin clan …… every year, every year ……”
When he said this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he repeated ‘every year’ several times before continuing:
“Every year in the summer, we go back to Cuiyangzhuang.
“There is a piece of grapevine there, take a cool …… ride underneath and eat grapes.
“Xiao Lu was greedy for coolness, and uncle favored her even more, so he had my father make an ice cellar underneath Cui Yang Zhuang.
“In summer, the people were ordered to fetch ice, cut it up, and subdue the grapes in it.
“The grains are cold and refreshing …… are her favorite.
“Just don’t eat it …… much or else she will have unbearable abdominal pain.”
Jiang Ran glanced at Tang Yuyi when he heard this.
Tang Yuyi’s face was serious and told Jiang Ran not to open his mouth first, but continued:
“Other than that? What else will you guys do?”
“…… Catch butterflies, catch fireflies. Then make firefly lamps at night …… Once, I opened the firefly lamp and released the fireflies inside, because there was a tent blocking them, they couldn’t get out, so they flew around in the tent, which was very pretty.
“Eventually they landed everywhere inside the tent, twinkling as if the stars were right in front of them.
“Little Lu was so happy …… she looked at them and fell asleep ……”
“…… Sleeping in the same cave at such a young age?”
Tang Yuyi stretched out her thumbs in admiration.
Jiang Ran rolled his eyes, two little kids, how big would that talent be? What did it matter if they slept together?
“And then, what happened?”
Tang Yuyi asked again.
Jiang Ran always felt that this girl wasn’t trying to retrieve Li Tianyu’s memories now, but was simply gossiping.
For his part, Li Tianyu didn’t have any doubts, and said whatever Tang Wuyi asked.
Completely unaware that he had retrieved his childhood memories.
It was only when the question reached the key place of that night, the ease and smile on his face also turned into silence and horror.
It was a night of immense bloodshed.
In fear and trepidation, he was escorted all the way by his father’s dead soldiers, fleeing the imperial capital.
He wanted to go to Bai Lu, wanted to stay by his parents …… side but all of this was hopeless.
At the end of the day, there was only one dead soldier left by his side, and he was also seriously injured.
He held on to his last breath and handed over the still young Li Tianyu, to an old acquaintance of his father.
It was an old man, an old man who did not know martial arts.
The old man with the young Li Tianyu, disguised as a grandparent and grandchildren, almost like fleeing the same way all the way around, after countless suffering, but also spent two or three years of time, this is from the green country, escaped to the Golden Cicada.
Only since then has it been considered safe.
The old man took him to find a place off the beaten track to settle down.
And handed him the secret book of the Cloud Chasing and Moon Chasing Arrow Technique, allowing him to practice according to the contents of the secret book.
It was tough ……
The old man never bothered to read the contents of the secret book in order to avoid suspicion.
Although Li Tianyu had been taught this archery technique since he was young, he was still young at that time, and even though he was learning it, he was only learning some of the basics.
Coupled with the fact that he did not recognize words …… it led to a stumbling process.
The old man taught him to recognize the words, while letting him will be the words in the book, disrupted order to ask for help.
This is only gradually learn to understand.
So have spent four or five years of time.
During this process, Li Tianyu wanted to go home, but he also knew that home was gone.
He couldn’t go back.
The Qing Emperor is ruthless, but whenever he dares to show up in the Qing Kingdom, he will definitely die.
The only thing he could do was to practice his family’s archery skills, so that one day he could use this skill to get an account for the destruction of his family’s entire clan.
But …… in the end whether it can be done or not, his own heart actually has no bottom.
And in addition to practicing archery, but whenever he is free, he will miss.
Thinking about his parents, thinking about his relatives, thinking about Cuiyang Village, thinking about …… that little girl who was still called Cheng Lu at that time.
This thoughts support him all the way forward.
But also at this time, has been behind him to support his ‘grandfather’, end of life.
The old man does not know martial arts, all the way hard trekking, is for the sake of justice, only to bring the son of the deceased to a safe place.
After determining that he was completely able to cultivate the Cloud Chasing Moon Arrow on his own, he breathed a sigh of relief.
This breath was what had sustained him all the way to this point.
After he was relieved, within a few days, the person was gone.
Li Tianyu knelt in front of the grave and didn t cry …… He just worked harder and harder to cultivate the Cloud Chasing Arrow from then on.
Exhausted all his time, mind, as long as the practice is not dead, to the death.
So after another two years passed, one night suddenly came an uninvited guest.
Li Tianyu’s eyes were still in a trance and did not notice any problems.
The heart devil idea is this kind of tricky.
There are times when even if the heart perceives something wrong, it will convince itself, ignore the problem itself, and blur the concept itself.
Let everything develop according to the other party’s mind.
Just like when Jiang Ran was in the Tang family, facing Tang Wuyi, he would not have been able to create the Heart Sutra, even if the feeling was not right, but also hard to ignore the feeling.
Ignoring all the problems.
This wasn’t because he wasn’t smart enough, nor was it because he was new to the world and didn’t have enough heart.
As a matter of fact, even if at that time, the one who was on the other side of the world was a sword without a sound and a sword without a life, when there was no means of resisting the demonic thoughts of the heart, he would only behave exactly the same as him.
Just like the current Li Tianyu.
He said quietly:
“That night, I was practicing my eyes as usual.
“The subtlety of archery requires the unity of the hand and eye, and the power of the eye is the foundation of archery.
“Practicing the eyes at night is even more essential.
“But I didn’t expect that when I stopped, there was an extra person in the room.
“My first thought at the time was that this person was sent by the Green Emperor to kill me.
“And the first words that person uttered also made me feel that way.
“That person said …… that you are Jin Ge, the remaining member of the Jin Clan?”
Li Tianyu’s eyes suddenly widened when he said this:
“Jin Ge …… Jin Ge …… I’m not Li Tianyu, my name is Jin Ge!!!”
After the two words ‘Jin Ge’ were exported, it was as if a certain switch had been flipped for Li Tianyu.
Just as he wanted to perk up, Tang Yuyi waved her hand:
“Go on.”
“Oh ……”
Jin Ge, who was just about to perk up, re-settled, and although his face still carried the color of excitement, his tone became unhurried again as he said softly:
“I had a bow in my hand but no arrows, so I flew to get the arrows.
“The man did not stop, and when I was waiting for me to open my bow and aim the arrow at the man, I thought the big game was over, and asked about the other person’s origin.
“As a result, the man laughed and said ‘Wrong’.
“I was in a state of dismay when the man suddenly disappeared from his chair.
“By the time I reacted, there was already an extra hand on my shoulder.
“The voice also came from my ears ‘The moment you got the arrow, you should have shot me first to check out my roots. Instead of immediately asking …… you don’t know how high or low my martial arts are, and doing so will cost you your chances of staying alive.'”
Jiang Ran glanced at Tang Yuyi when he heard this.
Tang Yuyi frowned slightly, while Jin Ge’s voice continued:
“Subsequently that person pulled away, allowing me to strike.
“This time I didn’t hesitate, Chasing Clouds and Moon Arrow struck, I practiced this art diligently, and originally thought that this arrow would be a sure thing.
“But I didn’t expect that as soon as the arrow struck, a flash of blood suddenly appeared in that person’s palm.
“With a casual stroke, my arrow …… was as if it had been burned away by something.
“That was also the first time I …… saw her strike.”
“The first …… time.”
Tang Yuyi immediately said:
“Subsequently you saw this person again? What kind of person is this?”
“…… She’s the later Lifeless Building Master.”
Jin Ge said softly:
“I also joined the Lifeless Building because of her.
“She told me that the Green Emperor likewise had a grudge against her, and that if I wanted to take revenge, joining the Lifeless Building would one day allow me to kill my enemy handily.”
“…… Ask him if this person is a man or a woman, and what is his appearance?”
Jiang Ran closed his eyes as he said this, and only spoke after a moment of silence:
“And then ask, what is the martial art used by the Master of the Lifeless Building?”
Both hands ignited with blood awnings, burning away Jin Ge’s arrows in an instant.
This reminded Jiang Ran of the Blood Burning Sword used by the Dodo Demon Pluto.
Eighteen Heavenly Demon Records ……
An incredible thought suddenly arose in Jiang Ran’s mind.
The Lifeless Building’s owner had inexplicably made himself a New Year’s Eve dinner on the thirtieth day of the year.
Made dishes and wrapped dumplings.
This person will also eighteen Heavenly Demon Records ……
“She is a woman, I don’t know exactly what she looks like, and the martial arts she uses …… I’m not sure ……”
Jin Ge said here, suddenly looked up at Jiang Ran:
“Big brother …… my memories recovered?”
