Chapter 474.
Ye Dong had been in a state of trepidation since he got up this morning.
He didn’t know what Jiang Ran would do today after meeting the Qing Emperor ……
Was it to go on a killing spree?
Directly behead the Qing Emperor?
Or is it a slow and steady approach …… to gain the trust of the Qing Emperor first, and then realize the purpose afterwards?
A heart seven up and down, how can not stop.
Until now, his heart finally fell into his stomach.
Jiang Ran didn’t go on a killing spree, nor did he try to gain the Qing Emperor’s trust.
He directly asked if the Qing Emperor was the mastermind of everything!
This was a nasty prelude to a big killing spree!
He looked around and was already considering where he should take Princess Xi Yue to escape from in a moment.
On the other hand, the Qing Emperor, who was sitting on top of the dragon chair, did not immediately burst into a rage as Ye Donglai had thought.
It was just that his entire posture suddenly became extremely relaxed.
He supported one hand on top of the armrest of the dragon chair, generally looking at Jiang Ran with a slightly frivolous smile:
“Where did that come from?”
“The person who went after Princess Xiyue claimed to be the heir of the Rong Shen Blade Winning White Eyebrows, the Winning Shen Blade.
“After his people fell into my hands, the one who personally admitted to letting them assassinate Princess Stream Moon was the current Your Majesty!
“It is also you, Your Majesty.”
Jiang Ran said aloud:
“Does Your Majesty recognize it or not?”
The Qing Emperor shook his head slightly:
“For one, I have heard of this person, Win Bai Mei. It is rumored that his martial art of the Fire Melting Blade is extremely outstanding.
“The Winning Divine Blade you speak of, since he is his disciple, naturally, he also has an amazing artistry.
“Yet I wonder how you were able to take this person down?
“Secondly, since you have the ability to take this person down, why don’t you bring him to the imperial capital and let him confront me personally?
“Now that you yourself are here with no proof, how can you win the trust of others?
“The third …… step back, this person is really taken down by you, you also because of all kinds of reasons, will be killed.
“But this a jianghu piker said words, then want to testify against today’s emperor.
“Don’t you think it’s a bit ridiculous.
“What’s more, who can tell that he wasn’t just climbing up the ladder indiscriminately before he died?”
Upon hearing Jiang Ran’s words earlier, Master Void Circle and the others present couldn’t help but look at each other in disbelief.
It was only because this move of questioning the Green Emperor to his face was truly too bold.
In their hearts, they were also somewhat skeptical.
But now that they had heard this rebuttal from the Qing Emperor, they could not help but nod their heads secretly.
It felt that this Your Majesty, who was in a high position, did not use his status as an emperor to oppress people, and had reasons and justifications that compelled people to be convinced.
Immediately, he saw a burly man separating the crowd, stepping forward and saying:
“Surname Jiang, how can you be allowed to be so unbridled in front of His Majesty?
“His Majesty is magnanimous, don’t take the credit of having protected Princess Xiyue and act arbitrarily here.”
Jiang Ran looked up at this person and instantly laughed.
It s not that he naturally loves to laugh, it s just that when he looks at this person, he really can t help …… Jiang Rulong!
A weapon in his hand ah!
He nodded slightly:
“The grass people are indeed rude …… There was indeed a reason why I had to kill the Winning Divine Blade that day.
“Moreover, just as Your Majesty said, even if I had brought him to the imperial capital, on what basis could I expect him, a jianghu recklessness, to identify the current saint?
“Therefore, it doesn’t matter if he is killed or not.
“As for the said nonsense climbing bite …… is also not impossible.
“But for me, this is not the point.
“Jianghu reckless, not the official government to do business, pay attention to the chain of evidence.
“Since there is someone to identify, the clues point to, I will naturally investigate towards this aspect.
“Paradoxically, His Majesty lives deep in the palace, and I don’t have much chance to be able to see you …… then I had to borrow Princess Xiyue this way to get a ride, to meet you personally.
“Good to ask you, all this in the end is not you do?
“Your Majesty does not have to be in a hurry to deny …… my words here, not yet finished.”
“Outrageous!!!”
Jiang Rulong was furious:
“Giving you three colors, you still open a dye house.
“Within the Green Luan Palace, how can you be allowed to be reckless?”
As the words fell, he leapt forward to teach this Jianghu junior who didn’t know respect.
The Qing Emperor sat on top of the dragon chair, his eyes swept past Jiang Rulong’s body, and did not open his mouth to say anything, but when he looked at the two sides of the palace, his eyes carried a hint of surprise.
At the same time, the other sect masters and senior people in the six sects were looking at each other.
Some people wanted to stop Jiang Rulong, this was the Green Luan Palace, even if Jiang Ran was no longer right, before the Qing Emperor had spoken, where was the part where you could make a move?
But there were also people who wanted to see what this ‘Jiang Rulong’ was capable of.
Daring to be so reckless here.
Jiang Rulong is a very good litmus test.
Speaking late, Jiang Rulong had already arrived at Jiang Ran’s front, he had practiced a Ruyi Vajra body, and his body was incorruptible.
If his body is not bad, his hands and feet will naturally have great power.
His fist was like thunder, aiming directly at Jiang Ran’s face.
However, Jiang RuLong felt an irresistible force that suddenly crushed down his fist when Jiang RuLong pinched his fist with a slight pressure.
A sense of fear arose, and he couldn’t help but kneel down on one knee and follow the trend.
“It’s not your turn …… to go back and wait first.”
Jiang Ran said a meaningful word, followed by a flying kick, directly kicking Jiang Rulong back.
After Jiang Rulong landed on the ground, it was all as if he had fallen into a five-misted fog.
The whole person is muddle-headed, how he was Jiang RuLong, and how was Jiang RuLong kicked away, how to feel all inexplicable.
He is not a newcomer to the world, and his martial arts skills are shallow.
How in front of Jiang Ran, even this little resistance is not?
The other green country Jianghu righteousness will help him to help, and then look at Jiang Ran’s eyes, already with a gaze.
Jiang Rulong was not a generalized person, and there were definitely not many under the sky who could take this person down this easily.
This ”Jiang Rulong” …… is not known, how can he have such a skill?
What kind of person is he in the end?
The Hundred Wood Sect’s Sectmaster raised his head to look at Zhen Cheng.
Zhen Cheng treated this as if he was blind, and as if to explain, he pointed to the masked scarf embroidered with the word ”wood” on his face, stating that he couldn’t see other people’s eyes when he was carrying this.
It only made the Hundred Wood Sect’s Sectmaster, angry, hate that he couldn’t immediately strike to clean up the door.
On the contrary, Chen Mu was called back by a look from Mr. Qing Cang of the Xuanji Academy.
Then the two began to communicate …… with each other by means of transmitting sound into the secret, and from time to time they also looked at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran paid no attention to everything around him and simply said:
“Let’s put aside whether what I’m saying now is true or not.
“It is also considered a possibility …… around today everyone is here, so I will ask you all to listen together.
“First of all, the one who assassinated Princess Xi Yue was not Golden Cicada Jiang Ran.
“It is the disciple of Win White Eyebrows, Win Divine Blade.
“At this point, I think there has been no doubt so far.
“Before and after the Hundred Wood Sect’s Zhen Cheng can testify to this, and there is also the Great Brahma Zen Academy’s Master Quest Delusion who was injured by the Fire Melting Knife; the person can certainly be an impostor, but the injuries are impossible to fake.
“A few days ago, within Seven An Town, Master Xuyuan has already admitted in person that this is indeed the case.”
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Master Void Circle frowned:
“Monks don’t lie, this is a good statement from Master Jiang.
“Just, is today …… the time to discern this matter?”
“If we don’t discern today in front of His Majesty’s face then when do we have to wait?”
Jiang Ran laughed:
“His Majesty’s body of ten thousand gold, in wanting to see one side, I’m afraid it’s not easy.”
Eunuch De felt as if he was now walking on the edge of a ten thousand foot cliff, every time he heard Jiang Ran open his mouth, he felt his heart trembling with fear, looking towards Jiang Ran at times, and looking towards the Qing Emperor at times.
He was afraid that His Majesty would behead himself first in a fit of rage.
However, he realized that even how disrespectful Jiang Ran had been to him, how impolite he had been in his speech, this His Majesty had sat there peacefully.
There was no sign of the dragon’s wrath at all.
“Just as well.”
The Qing Emperor slowly spoke at this time:
“If you have something to say, then just say it all.
“I also want to hear, what are you going to say?”
“If what the Winning Divine Blade said is true, and all of this was done by Your Majesty.
“Then there is confusion in my mind ……
“Why did Your Majesty act like this?
“First of all, Princess Xi Yue came to the Qing Kingdom for the sake of the alliance between the two countries to fight against the Golden Cicada.
“Your Majesty’s assassination, on the contrary, can be said to have planted evidence to frame that Golden Cicada Jiang Ran, so as to tell Autumn Leaves to fight against the Golden Cicada’s heart to be firmer.
“But the question is, would this not be superfluous?
“After all, even if we don’t kill Princess Xiyue, the matter of the alliance between the two countries is already a done deal.
“Drawing a snake like this will not only not change the established result, but it may also cause unpredictable changes, thus leading to the solid alliance falling apart.
“This point …… is unreasonable.”
The crowd nodded their heads, but they couldn’t figure Jiang Ran out.
He had spoken with conviction in front of him, but how could he start to give the Qing Emperor the benefit of the doubt?
And Jiang Ran continued:
“But along the way, I gradually discovered some oddities.
“The people who assassinated Princess Xi Yue have always been there along the way.
“The closer we get to the royal capital, the harder it gets.
“The Green Country now has a series of changes within its borders, because of a Shocking God’s Knife Jiang Ran and a Golden Cicada Rapunzel, the whole jungle is in an uproar.
“The uproar is so intense …… that there are many jianghu bandits taking advantage of it to cause trouble.
“The people were killed and the materials were looted.
“These things happened right by the royal capital, but no one paid attention.
“Only a few jianghu warriors can’t look at the eye, which is to step in to clean up a few …… but it’s just a drop in the bucket.
“It seems that someone is deliberately letting them make a big deal out of this.
“Your Majesty thinks, why is this?”
“Well, I wish to hear about it.”
Emperor Qing gave a faint smile.
“My humble servant thinks that this chaos started because of Jiang Ran, and the results caused are naturally to be blamed on Jiang Ran as well.
“The more chaotic and bigger the matter becomes, the more people will hate this Golden Cicada’s coming line of people.
“So, the grasshopper suddenly understands.
“If the one who instructed the Winning Divine Blade to assassinate Princess Xi Yue is truly His Majesty, then what His Majesty is targeting is actually not Princess Xi Yue.
“Rather, it was Jiang Ran, who came from the Golden Cicada …… or the Eldest Princess behind Jiang Ran.
“Imagine, when this public grievance accumulates deeply enough, people will gnash their teeth at the mention of the Golden Cicada.
“Then at that time, even if there is still room for détente between the two countries, I’m afraid that the people of Qing will not be willing.”
“There is still room for détente between the two countries?”
Mr. Qing Cang shook his head:
“Mr. Jiang, the Golden Cicada first killed our dynasty’s young prince, and then subsequently attacked one city after another in an undeclared war during the peace talks.
“How can there be a reprieve from such banditry?”
“There is.”
Jiang Ran said with a smile:
“At first, I had the same doubts as Mr. Qingcang.
“All the way to the Seven Ancestral Towns, to fight against the Demon Cult with all of you.
“Only after hearing the words of the young demonic father did I understand what was going on …….”
The words of the young father of the Demon Cult!
The people present looked at each other in disbelief.
The young father of the Demon Sect had said a lot of things that day, but they hadn’t forgotten a single one of them.
The thing that made them care the most, and which they had even met to discuss several times, was that it was not the Golden Cicada’s Eldest Princess who had assassinated the young prince.
Rather, it was Jun He Ya of the Heavenly Que.
It was just that it was really hard to tell if this matter was true or not.
Master Void Circle folded his hands and said a Buddha’s name:
“Prudent words, Master Jiang, how can the words spoken by the Demon Cult’s Young Elder Princess be taken seriously?”
“Master really doesn’t believe it?”
Jiang Ran glanced at Master Void Circle.
Master Void Circle had wanted to nod his head frankly, but remembering the words of that Demon Cult Young Elder that day, in the end, he couldn’t deceive his heart.
Therefore, he fell into silence.
Jiang Ran smiled:
“It seems that in Grandmaster’s heart, it may not be a total disbelief.
“Of course, whether it is true or not, is still in between.
“Let’s just take it as true …… then the war between the two countries, in your eyes, and how?”
The war between the two countries was precisely because the Golden Cicada Elder Princess had killed the young prince of the Green Country.
If this matter itself did not exist, then why would the two countries need to go to war?
“But even if that’s the case, the Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince is perfectly capable of allowing the Golden Cicada Elder Princess to enter our dynasty and explain clearly in person!
“Wouldn’t this undeclared war be the very thing that shows that they have a weak heart?”
Jiang Rulong staggered and roared.
Jiang Ran smiled:
“Have you all forgotten how the Eldest Princess and that Jiang Ran, in turn, came to the Green Country? How did they become the current state where everyone is shouting at them?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell into silence at the same time.
Jiang Ran’s meaning was already obvious.
Heavenly Que had provoked the conquest between the Qing Kingdom and the Golden Cicada, and the Rapunzel had entered the Qing Kingdom in order to explain all of this, and as a result, Guan Changqing had suddenly sent troops to attack the Qing Kingdom.
The purpose of Rapunzel and Jiang Ran’s line of work was instantly chalked up to another layer of purpose.
And the crowd at this time will no longer care about what the Elder Princess and they came to the Qing Kingdom to do …… They only want to kill the Elder Princess and this Jiang Ran to vent their anger.
At the same time, the Qing Emperor sent someone to assassinate Princess Xi Yue to deepen the impression of the Golden Cicada Ambition in the hearts of the people.
Planted evidence to frame Jiang Ran.
At that time, even if Jiang Ran really shows up, the Princess explains what happened, and who will believe it?
Mr. Qing Cang’s face sank like water:
“Even if it is said to break the big sky to go, Guan Changqing successive attacks on the city …… where does this come from?”
“Mr. Qing Cang may have forgotten.”
Jiang Ran said:
“That day, that Demon Cult Young Zun mentioned the origin of the Heavenly Que Venerable Lord Jun He Yuya, who came from the Demon Cult, and is naturally well versed in the Demon Cult’s ability to compel people’s hearts.
“As far as I know, Guan Changqing is located in the Tiger Wei Pass, a long period of time generation, are included in the control of the people of the Heavenly Que.
“Even the green country Zhenlong Pass, there are many weapons, is in the Golden Cicada territory to build, and then borrow Tiger Wei Pass, sent to the Zhenlong Pass inside.
“Tiger Wei Pass has long been out of defense for a long time, and Guan Changqing has been imprisoned in Tiger Wei Pass for an even longer period of time.
“Who knows, what he is doing now, is from the Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince’s authorization, or is …… from that day on the Que Venerable Lord Jun He Ya’s authorization?
“If …… the one who assassinated the young prince of the Green Country was Jun He Ya.
“The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince ordered Jiang Ran and the eldest princess to enter the Qing Kingdom, to meet the Qing Emperor to explain the circumstances.
“Once the misunderstanding between the two countries is solved, a storm naturally dissolved into nothing.
“Then Jun He Ya single-handedly directed this matter, is not a basket of water?
“At this time, Guan Changqing this card, will come to play the time.
“Then it also became the key to today’s dispute between you and me.”
The people present looked at each other for a moment.
The Qing Emperor signaled to Duke De, Duke De immediately came to the front, the Qing Emperor whispered two sentences in his ear, Duke De looked around and hurriedly led the order to go.
Jiang Ran then continued at this point:
“You all should still remember that at the time when Jiang Ran and that Elder Princess became the street rats of the Qing Empire, there was another great event that took place.
“The late emperor was in the prime of his spring and fall, so why did he suddenly die violently?
“Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne as Emperor, has he ever investigated the cause of the late Emperor’s death?
“Once the words, it is said that the war is currently, there is no time to be distracted …… but I do not know, whether it is really distracted, or simply do not want to investigate?”
“Jiang Liu!!!”
Mr. Qing Cang said in a hurry:
“You speak cautiously!”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“There is no need for Mr. Qing Cang to be concerned, I am merely saying one thing at a time ……
“These things, is it possible that all of you do not have speculations and doubts in your hearts?
“Now, I might as well say what I suspect in my heart ……
“Dare I ask Your Majesty, behind you stands, is it the heavenly que? Jun Heya promised to assassinate the late emperor, so that you can ascend to the throne as emperor.
“You waste the life and death of the people of the two countries, in order to sit on this throne, do not hesitate to plant evidence to frame Jiang Ran, so that the people hate the Golden Cicada more and more, is to let the two countries no longer have any room for détente.
“Once Princess Xi Yue is really dead, Autumn Leaf formally entered the game, how can the Golden Cicada country block?
“At that time, the five countries will be at war and the world will be in chaos!
“Your Majesty, how can you bear this?
“Or …… you have actually long been no longer the emperor of the Green Kingdom.
“Underneath that skin of yours, what is hidden …… is none other than the Heavenly Que Exalted Lord, Jun He Ya!?”
“What?”
“How is this possible?”
“If the Qing Emperor is Jun He Ya then …… where is the real Qing Emperor?”
“Is this true or false? I, can’t differentiate clearly.”
“What this Jiang Liu said makes some sense …… but …… but is it too bold?”
“Unwarranted speculation about the emperor, and what reasoning is there to speak of?”
The scene was a moment of confusion, the crowd even in the high position in the jianghu, at this time also can not help but discuss.
However, a burst of laughter came from above the dragon chair.
When the crowd heard this laughter, they couldn’t help but look, and they saw Emperor Qing sitting above the dragon, laughing his head off.
Seemingly sensing the gazes of the crowd, he then stopped laughing, but the smirk on his face was still evident.
“I really have not been this cheerful for a long time ……
“I still have to thank you for making me so happy, Jiang Zhuangshi.”
The Qing Emperor looked at Jiang Ran and laughed:
“Oh no, I should say Amazing God Sword Jiang Ran Jiang warrior!”
