Chapter 497.
Guan Changqing, the Great General of the Tiger Weapon Army, died like this without a sound on this small hill.
The Princess’ face became more and more ugly.
Jiang Ran, however, gently clapped his hands:
“What does the Eldest Princess think, what he said, is it true or false?”
“Which words?”
The Eldest Princess looked at Jiang Ran:
“The ones he finally admitted to, weren’t they your words?”
“It was my words …… but I didn’t say that what I said was necessarily right.
“And what he admitted was a bit too painful.”
“He since you know that you devil sect young zun’s identity, think is also worried that you will be to him that devil sect means.
“Under the mind demonic thoughts, Guan Changqing couldn’t resist.”
The eldest princess said:
“Instead of coming to that time, it is better to advance …….”
As she said this, she suddenly froze slightly and looked furiously at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran nodded slightly:
“Thought of that?”
“…… He knows that you’re here, and he also knows what you’ll ask him, and even more so, he knows that he has to die!”
The Eldest Princess said this sentence in several paragraphs, and with each paragraph, the chill in her heart flourished by one point, and by the end of her sentence, her face had turned pale.
In this moment, it seemed that even her bones and blood were all frozen by the invisible ice.
Jiang Ran stood silently:
“So, he took the poison in advance, just waiting for him to admit everything afterward, not letting us continue to pursue the matter, and die in front of us, to sort of end this period of turmoil.
“Your Highness, do you think …… what kind of relationship he has with Heavenly Que in the end?”
“I …… don t know.”
The eldest princess shook her head:
“This palace is going back to the capital.”
“It is natural to go back.”
Jiang Ran nodded:
“It must go back …… If I don’t go back, this play, it can’t be sung.
“Just, I can go back, can the eldest princess ever really think about it?”
The eldest princess once again fell into silence.
At the end, she took a deep breath:
“I have thought about it ……”
“Not running?”
“Not running!”
“Not bad.”
Jiang Ran nodded:
“Then let’s go back …… But before that, I’m afraid I need to trouble the Eldest Princess to accompany me on a trip to the Demon Sect’s General Altar.”
“It’s always going to be a place I’ll be frequenting in the future, so I naturally have to go and recognize the door.”
“…… You’re considered to be pestering me?”
Jiang Ran frowned slightly:
“At that time, when the Blood Cicada told you my news, did you think that there would be today?”
“If I had thought of it at the time, I would have inevitably scoffed.”
The eldest princess raised her eyes and glanced at Jiang Ran:
“And then sent someone ahead to kill you.”
“…… Rapunzel seeks a handful of good deaths, Jiang Mou admires.”
“Fuck you.”
When the Rapunzel said this, her heart loosened up quite a bit.
Fang just that one moment, she thought of a lot of things, those things the more deeply to think about, will date feel fear.
It wasn’t until then that she felt warmth in her cold palms.
After thinking for a while, she put her hand into Jiang Ran’s palm.
It seemed to feel that such a move was too abrupt, so when she waited for Jiang Ran to look at her, she uttered a single word:
“Cold.”
Jiang Ran nodded and held her hand:
“Then lend you warmth.”
……
……
Jiang Ran didn’t want to be in charge of what happened in An Ning Town.
After all, since the beginning of the Qing Kingdom’s imperial capital, it was this Qing Kingdom’s Jianghu that had hunted him all the way.
All these people gathered in An Ning Town today were also all here to kill him.
Even if he knew that there was a great deal of weirdness in this matter, and who was behind it, Jiang Ran did not intend to commit the crime of saving those who originally wanted to kill him.
When the time came, people clasped their fists and said, ‘Although you saved me today, I will still kill you in the future’.
If this didn’t kill him on the spot, then there was something wrong with him.
Instead of developing to that point, it would be better to omit it and just let them die in the hands of the Tiger’s Mighty Army.
Jiang Ran led the eldest princess all the way to Yuliu City.
Tonight’s Yuliu City is very quiet, Guan Changqing did not come out of the nest, and still left the guards.
However, they naturally could not stop Jiang Ran and the Princess.
Two people into the Yu Liu City also did not run around, left a secret mark, then intends to find a place to rest.
However, Jade Stream City was originally fought by Guan Changqing.
All kinds of stores in the city had not yet opened, and the inns were all closed, with the whole city under curfew.
Naturally, the two of them couldn’t find any inns.
Walking along the streets, traces of swords and soldiers could be seen everywhere, as well as black blood marks left on the walls that hadn’t been cleaned in time.
This was a city that had just experienced killing and had yet to heal.
As the eldest princess looked on, her eyes rippled a little.
Jiang Ran said softly:
“These soldiers, they fought with their heads on the waistband of their pants.
“The thoughts held in their hearts, in addition to protecting their families and defending their country to open up new territories, is to think about looting, killing ……
“After entering the city there will inevitably be some chaos occurring.
“Robbing money, robbing food, robbing women.
“Guan Changqing even if the army is well governed, it is impossible to curb all of them.
“Blocking is better than sparing, it’s always inevitable.”
“There’s no need for you to enlighten me, I naturally understand.”
The eldest princess said:
“This palace just thought, if we were to change places and the one who was knocked out of the city today was not the Green Kingdom, but the Golden Cicada, then what should we do?”
“Well, how should it be?”
“…… heartache.”
“Have a conscience.”
Jiang Ran nodded:
“Well, there’s no one in this household, so the two of us will shelter in this house for the night for now.
“Tomorrow, Poetic Love should secretly sneak into this place to meet up with us.”
“Good.”
Speaking here, she glanced at Jiang Ran:
“Just the two of us?”
“Is Your Highness worried about what’s going to happen?”
Jiang Ran glanced at the Eldest Princess with a smile or not.
The Eldest Princess was silent for a moment and said:
“I am worried that it won’t happen ……”
“The …… days are all for you to chat to death.”
Two people did not stand outside the door to continue the nonsense, into the room within the room, visible this room should have been someone living, just look at the current situation, think has been empty for a period of time, collapsed table, was chopped up furniture, it is difficult not to let a person to associate with it, then in the end what happened.
The Rapunzel looked and looked, and in her heart she felt intolerant again.
It was just that she knew very well that this was indeed something that was inevitable.
Once the war started, the unlucky ones would always be the people.
What you see now is just the most direct scene …… This human pain has millions of kinds, and this is just one of them.
The room is burning a fire kang, and nowadays, in this season, there is no need to burn the kang.
The two people sat down side by side on the kang, and did not speak for a while.
Sitting in this room within the city of Jade Stream City, one could not hear the killing in An Ning Town in the distance.
But vaguely, it could already be seen that there was red light rising from the sky.
That was the firelight of An Ning Town.
An Ning Town is obviously very restless tonight.
The eldest princess was lost in thought as she watched, and Jiang Ran gently touched her:
“What do you think?”
“I don’t dare to think about anything.”
The eldest princess spoke in a low voice.
“You can think about it, and if you need anything, you can also find me to help.”
Jiang Ran said, suddenly letting out a sigh of emotion:
“It’s really great that you know me.”
“You’re happy to be able to know this palace?”
“Yes, I’m happy for you.”
Jiang Ran said:
“I’m a person with world-class martial arts skills, there’s nothing under the sky that I can’t do.
“How many less detours have you taken in life by being able to know me?
“It really makes me all inevitable, happy for you.”
“…… Why did this palace never realize in the past that you were so shameless?”
The eldest princess really couldn’t help herself and reached out and gently pinched Jiang Ran’s arm.
Then said:
“I do have one thing I want to find you to help me with.”
“You suspect that matter in your heart?”
“Yes.”
“Say, when I solve the doubt in your heart, what will you give me?”
“Me.”
“Huh?”
Jiang Ran froze:
“So direct?”
“It’s fine to pay the bill first.”
The eldest princess looked at Jiang Ran:
“I’m much older than, any more procrastination and this palace will be old.”
“…… There’s no rush.”
Jiang Ran shook his head and looked at the interface in front of him.
Although it was meant to be, after this interface popped up, it had to be dealt with.
[Knife Catching Quest: Help the Eldest Princess to solve the suspicions of the capital city]
[Whether or not to take it?
He looked at the name of this mission and felt more or less troubled.
What he hated the most was this kind of fluttering, ambiguous puzzle.
An escorting the Eldest Princess to the Green Country, which put a simple and straightforward one, wasn’t even that easy to accomplish, and this task in front of him would more than likely be even more troublesome.
However, after looking at it for a little while, he chose to take it.
This matter, he already had a plan in his mind.
Things were all sewn up in his mind, and there was no reason why he wouldn’t follow it up with a heavenly fortune.
He had already made up his mind, after turning back and investigating everything clearly, he would not tell the Princess.
Accumulate more time and see if he could obtain a time reward equal to the time he spent completing the mission?
The Rapunzel’s voice came at this time:
“What is there no hurry? Are you doing it or not.”
“Do it.”
Jiang Ran said:
“Of course I …….”
Words did not finish, the eldest princess has come together.
If this were to do before, Jiang Ran a hand on the push away from her, another not another price aside, their own is not this kind of person.
But now …… he has grown.
The most important thing is that he has already more than once and Tang Shixi love to share the performance of [Harmony Essentials].
Between him and the Elder Princess, it had also long been unclear enough.
Now that he felt the other party’s breath, his heart immediately became a bit unable to hold it.
He gently exhaled a breath:
“Your Highness the Princess …… also please respect yourself ah ……”
Before the words were finished, he was pressed by the eldest princess on the bed.
The great master of the world was as good as not knowing martial arts in an instant.
The eyes of the eldest princess, however, were full of determination, and she ruthlessly lunged down ……
A miserable scream rang out, it was Jiang Ran’s.
He hurriedly pushed the eldest princess away and looked at his shoulder:
“You’re trying to eat people.”
“Ah? Isn’t that so?”
Rapunzel had a look of consternation:
“I, I wouldn’t know how to ah ……”
“You don’t know how and still dare to mess around?”
Jiang Ran had a helpless look on his face, and seeing that the Eldest Princess was ashamed of herself, he had no choice but to sigh and pull her into his arms:
“Since you don’t know how, then let me, a jianghu grasshopper, teach you ……”
He was in the end a connoisseur.
In three strokes, he was already getting better.
Seeing the eyes of the Princess gradually lost, he whispered in her ear and said:
“Can really think well, I know that your heart is troubled …… but if this ……”
“Less nonsense!”
The eldest princess wrapped her arms around Jiang Ran’s neck and violently rolled over, pressing him underneath:
“This palace does things, naturally, it will not act impulsively …… Don’t think that this palace doesn’t know what you and Yan Wushuang did that night ……”
“How do you know?”
Jiang Ran froze.
“Hmph! Sneaking around and staying out at night, do you really think this palace is blind?
“You are just lucky …… to have met this palace, otherwise ……”
The rest of the words did not say out, the night is completely shrouded, the four fields are deep, and then there is no remaining sound.
Turn a day, it is already dawn.
Jiang Ran and the Princess left this residence, directly to the general’s residence.
After all, the Eldest Princess was the real Golden Cicada Eldest Princess.
Having come to her own territory, there was no need to hide.
After directly revealing her identity, she accepted the salute of the several generals stationed here.
After that, the Rapunzel instructed them on some things to do afterward.
However, she did not mention anything about what happened to her in the Green Country.
After waiting for all of them to receive orders, she left the general’s residence with Jiang Ran, and followed the dark mark to find Poetic Love.
As soon as they met, Tang Shiyi glanced at the Eldest Princess and smiled:
“Congratulations to the Eldest Princess.”
The Eldest Princess blushed, but she didn’t know what came to mind, but sighed:
“I’m afraid that I don’t have such a good fortune.”
“Hmm?”
Tang Shixiang froze slightly and glanced at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, directly changed the topic:
“Where are the others?”
“It’s not good for us to show up directly at Jade Stream City, so we’ve asked them to wait outside the city.”
Tang Yuyi said after giving the Eldest Princess and Jiang Ran a suspicious look:
“This Jade Stream City is now considered Golden Cicada’s territory, what do we do next?”
“Let Liu Mucheng, Wang Jingyuan and the others walk slowly, I’ll take you guys one step ahead.”
Jiang Ran said:
“Her Highness the Princess has left orders that she can send a team of men to escort them, there’s no need to worry about safety.”
“Good.”
In a few words, the matter about Guan Changqing last night was said.
The people then didn’t continue to tarry in Jade Stream City, and directly set off to make peace with Wang Jingyuan and the others.
After explaining the situation again, this time Jiang Ran took all of his men away.
Including Yi Cangxian, who knew that he and Ye Jingxue had a deep hatred, but was unable to kill her, nor could he think of escaping.
But before leaving, Tang Yuyi suddenly tapped her head:
“Right, there are still three people I forgot.”
“What people?”
Jiang Ran was surprised.
Tang Wuyi, on the other hand, came directly to Wang Jingyuan’s side and shouted through the crowd:
“Those three from Autumn Leaf come out.”
The three teenage heroes who had intended to take advantage of the chaos last night to save Princess Joy came out with their necks sticking out.
The three were filled with caution as they looked at Jiang Ran.
Knowing that this was the present day Demon Sect’s Young Elder, the thought of leaving this place immediately arose even more in their hearts.
This thought was deeply rooted in their hearts, but their feet seemed to be rooted in the ground, and they couldn’t take a step out.
Tang Yuyi introduced Jiang Ran:
“These three one is the Autumn Water Divine Palace, called what Mo wants to be born, one is called Wind Sound and Crane, and one is called what comes …… Right, what do you call yourself?”
She looked toward Zhuge Ying who still had a straw pole in his mouth.
Zhuge Ying’s caution in his heart had been raised to the extreme, and he made a note that he absolutely could not say his name:
“Junior’s name is Zhuge Ying.”
“Right, call it that.”
Tang Yuyi nodded.
Jiang Ran smacked his lips for a moment, feeling that other than this Zhuge Ying, the remaining two didn’t quite resemble people’s names.
However, these three people hadn’t participated in the siege against Jiang Ran in that underground tomb, so Jiang Ran was too lazy to continue killing.
After glancing at Princess Xi Yue, he said:
“That being the case, do you three intend to stay here, or do you intend to leave?”
“We’re naturally leaving!”
“Regardless of you princesses?”
Mo Pingsheng was slightly stunned:
“What does Young Sovereign mean by that? Is he willing to let us take the princess away?”
“He’s the young reverend of the Devil Cult, everything he says and does may confuse people, so beware of deception.”
“Alright, cut the crap!”
Zhuge Ying said:
“If you are willing to hand over the princess to us, then we can naturally take her away.
“Otherwise, just don’t say these borderline things.”
Seeing this, Jiang Ran called Princess Xi Yue over:
“The three of them are here to save you, do you want to go back to Autumn Leaf?”
“No!”
Princess Xi Yue didn’t even think about it:
“Now that the world’s situation is changing, this palace cannot go back.
“However, the three of you can go back and incidentally help this Palace deliver a letter.”
“To where?”
“The palace.”
Princess Xi Yue looked at Jiang Ran:
“Will Young Zun allow it?”
“Allow.”
Jiang Ran nodded.
“Good then.”
Princess Xi Yue said:
“That being the case, please also borrow Young Zun’s pen and ink.”
The four treasures of literature were basically carried with them.
Immediately, they found a small wooden table, spread out the paper, and pressed it with a paperweight.
Princess Xi Yue looked at Jiang Ran:
“Please also ask Young Sovereign to come over and witness this.”
“Oh?”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“Not behind my back?”
“No need for that trouble.”
Princess Xiyue said:
“Otherwise, turning back, Young Zun will definitely still look for someone to snatch this letter away to check it out, rather than being that circuitous, it’s better to be open about it.”
When these words were uttered, Poetry, the Frost and Snow Sisters, as well as the Eldest Princess all subconsciously glanced at each other.
As the same woman, this Princess Xiyue was the youngest, but her mind was indeed meticulous.
Within this short period of time, Jiang Ran’s temperament had already been clearly mapped out by her.
Jiang Ran smiled faintly:
“Good then, Princess write.”
Princess Xiyue lifted her pen and dipped it in ink, writing a handful of very elegant characters.
In the letter, she first explained the trip in this way, which elaborated on the original reason, although as simple and concise as possible, but also a lot of ink.
Afterwards, he also said his current intentions.
The alliance with the green country is no longer feasible, the current chaos, the best ally is close at hand.
It is the Golden Cicada.
The reasons were also written, it was the Li Kingdom and the Zha Kingdom.
Finally, he stated that he would travel to Golden Cicada and meet with the Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince.
If there is any news, it will be sent back again.
There was not a single word mentioning Jiang Ran in it, and Jiang Ran stroked his chin:
“If I pass this name back, does your father really dare to risk universal condemnation?”
Princess Xiyue smiled faintly:
“My father’s splendor is clear, he has a heart of ten thousand miles, he can tolerate the whole world, how can he not tolerate a devil’s religion?”
