Chapter 517.
The next morning.
Jiang Ran had just returned to the Princess’s residence, too late to answer Tang Yuyi’s question of ‘where did you go to hang out all night’, the eldest princess had already sent someone to pass down the decree.
She said that the Son of Heaven had woken up and asked Jiang Ran to enter the palace immediately.
Jiang Ran had no choice but to rush towards the palace without stopping once again.
Was eunuch led, all the way to the imperial study.
Just entered the door, saw the Golden Cicada Son of Heaven sickly sitting in front of the dragon book case.
Beside him stood the eldest princess.
“Wake up and not rest properly, call me for what?”
Jiang Ran raised his head, glanced at the Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince, then at the Eldest Princess whose face was filled with the color of exhaustion, and gently shook his head:
“Things are not made in a day, don’t you know to rest?”
It was better not to say this, but after saying it, the Eldest Princess became even more depressed:
“Since you know that this palace is hard, can’t you come over and help this palace?”
Jiang Ran sniffed okay, the Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince heard it but coughed repeatedly and couldn’t help but glare at his defeated sister.
What let Jiang Ran help?
This is a matter of state!
Only the emperor can deal with the big things!
Let you in danger, because the Prince is not too good, you then give this matter to Jiang Ran …… turn around he feels this throne sitting quite comfortable, not willing to come down.
Then we siblings, is not passive?
As a result, this look was seen by the eldest princess, and she saw the woman roll her eyes:
“All are family, don’t say two family words.”
“A family ……”
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince froze before reacting, and couldn’t help but look at Jiang Ran angrily:
“You …… how dare you!!!”
“Dare what?”
Jiang Ran frowned slightly ……
“Nothing.”
Golden Cicada Celestial Son shook his head decisively.
This is redundant to say …… What does this person not dare to do? Under this sky, there was nothing he didn’t dare to do.
Well, Jiang Ran didn’t dwell on this issue much, but said:
“It just so happens that you woke up, there is a thing, but also have to you nod to do.”
“…… What is it?”
Golden Cicada Celestial Son looked at Jiang Ran with a pale face and weak qi.
Jiang Ran was a bit hesitant to see this, and glanced at the Eldest Princess:
“After I finish, will he die directly in the past?”
“Won’t …… you know medicine, don’t you? If he dies in the past, you will tie him alive.”
The eldest princess said it as a matter of course, only to say that in the end there also seemed to be some hesitation:
“Or, pass two eunuchs over?”
“What exactly are you guys going to say?”
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince couldn’t help but start thinking wildly, looking at Jiang Ran from time to time, looking at the Elder Princess from time to time, and at the end of the day looking at the Elder Princess’s stomach, his eyes widened:
“Could it be …… could it be ……”
“Could what ah?”
The eldest princess covered her stomach and said:
“No nonsense did not, there is no such thing!”
“That’s good.”
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince spilled a smile:
“Since it’s not a matter of this, then feel free to say whatever it is.
“I am the Son of Heaven, what things have I not experienced? Why make a fuss?”
Jiang Ran nodded at his words:
“It’s also good …… then I’ll be straightforward.
“In the Wuwei Candidate’s Mansion, I killed quite a few foreign jianghu bandits who came to the capital to cause trouble.
“Although most of them don’t have Shanghai arrest papers.
“But in the end, it is with the rebel Wuwei Candidate all the way …… I thought about it, and do not ask you for more, a head of 10,000 taels of gold.
“This plus bar plus bar, some cara m I do not bother, even if it is a two hundred and sixty thousand taels of gold.”
“……”
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince looked blankly at Jiang Ran and then at the eldest princess:
“Candidate Wuwei has found so many people?”
“Far more than that …… some bits and pieces he didn’t even count.”
The Eldest Princess hurriedly said.
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince took a deep breath and said through clenched teeth:
“Today is an extraordinary time, this two hundred and sixty thousand taels of silver ……”
“Gold!!!”
Jiang Ran hurriedly reiterated.
“Okay, gold!!!”
Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince said through gritted teeth:
“I will give! However, I can’t give it now, at least until after the war between the five countries has calmed down.”
“Alright, then make an IOU.”
Jiang Ran said, “The son of heaven owes the same debt as the common people, there is an IOU so that I can come over to ask you for money, right, it has to be printed with a jade seal, otherwise, I won’t recognize anything else.”
Golden Cicada Celestial Son gritted his teeth and nodded, lifting his pen to write.
Then he heard Jiang Ran say:
“Wait!”
“Something else?”
“I haven’t finished yet, what’s the hurry?”
Jiang Ran picked at his fingers and said:
“Although those other people are barely considered ten thousand taels of gold per head.
“But there are a few that are different.
“One is Lou Xiyue, the master of Lou Ou Lou, this person is highly skilled in martial arts and is able to change the sky and the earth.
“The Blood Moon Killing Scripture can be extraordinary.
“This person’s head is at least 50,000 taels of gold for the house master.
“Then there is the Wuwei candidate. …… He is the mastermind of the plot to rebel, nearly let you all die.
“To say that this matter is also quite suspenseful, if you let him get you killed, turn around I even if I get him killed, set things right, this throne are not your turn to sit.
“At that time to sit in this position, is your sister.
“Considering the relationship between us, I’m embarrassed to ask her for this money.
“In that case, I’ll count 100,000 taels, not too expensive, right?
“That’s 150,000 taels of gold.”
“…… What else do you have to say, say it in one breath!!!”
Golden Cicada Heavenly Son felt that it would be better not to wake up today.
Once he woke up, several hundred thousand taels of gold …… had never owed so much money.
“There are still words …… Autumn Night Remnant, the owner of Xiaochun Zhuang, is not an ordinary person, right? Fifty thousand taels can, right?
“But the most important thing is …… White Jade House!
“The number one expert in the country of Li, this person is really not simple.
“The martial art he learned is called Immortal Crossing …… passed down from generation to generation, and the one with the strongest inner strength is always the disciple.
“By the time he reached his generation, he had accumulated less than a thousand years of internal strength in his body.
“The sun and moon that fought with me.
“I exhausted my full strength, and only then did I behead him …… Just for this one person, half a million taels of gold …… Your Majesty shouldn’t think it’s expensive, right?”
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince’s face grew paler and paler, and his breathing became more and more rapid.
Jiang Ran hurriedly said:
“Your Majesty take care of yourself, you’ve seen the world, you’re the Nine to Five, what kind of scene can scare you to death?”
“…… You shut up!!!”
Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince couldn’t help but drink:
“Just this, just this less than a tea’s work, I …… I even carry ……”
He said with a trembling finger picking up two times, then took his hand and pointed at Jiang Ran:
“I actually owe you nine hundred and sixty thousand taels of gold alone?
“You …… you are simply a national thief!!!!
“Aiya, left and right come quickly, fork him out for me!!!”
“Yes!!!”
With a broken cry, the guards on both sides immediately came within the imperial study.
Just after glancing at Jiang Ran, they couldn’t help but look at the Eldest Princess again.
With a shake of the Eldest Princess’ sleeve, the two sides of the guards immediately obediently returned behind the curtain.
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince didn’t care either, but just rubbed his heart and said:
“I can’t, I can’t, I feel that my body is empty and somewhat unhelpful.
“You …… guys, oops, allow me to rest and rest first.”
“No rush no rush.”
Jiang Ran said:
“And it is not for you to immediately return …… it is not too late to write the note and then return it.”
“You!!!”
Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince could not help but slap the table, but a person facing Jiang Ran in the end a little weak, could not help but go to find the Princess to ask for help.
However, the Eldest Princess had her eyes on her nose, her nose on her mouth, and her mouth on her heart.
Just short of carving the four big words ‘internal cultivation do not disturb’ on her brain.
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince’s compressed roots bit down and clicked, finally giving Jiang Ran a hateful look:
“You all bully me!!!”
After saying that, he put up his pen and wrote, and after writing all the contents of this pile, he picked up the jade seal and stamped on it.
“Do you see into it?”
The Son of Heaven looked at Jiang Ran with a gloomy face.
A eunuch hurried over to hand this over to Jiang Ran, who swept two eyes:
“On the whole, it’s okay …… but there’s one thing you’re keeping in mind.”
“What is it?”
“Borrowing money always have to give some interest ah …… you flat out use my nine hundred and sixty thousand taels of gold, is it for nothing to use?
“That’s it, nine out of thirteen returns!”
“I’ll fight you!!!”
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince couldn’t care about winning a weak body, so he wanted to come over and tear bar with today’s invincible great master.
Luckily, it was the eldest princess who couldn’t bear to see her elder brother seeking his own death and hurriedly pulled him down:
“Alright, alright, nine out of thirteen returns to the clouds, it’s all gibberish.
“I’ll make the call on this matter, it’s settled.”
“……”
Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince looked at these two people in front of him, living to look at two money grabbing hooligans.
In favor of tears, there was nothing he could do.
And as the eldest princess had spoken, he also obediently took that holy decree over.
At the same time, the ear ding ding ding ding, ringing non-stop.
“It’s done.”
Jiang Ran was instantly excited.
To be honest, before this, he wasn’t sure if this belated reward could successfully be recognized by the system or not.
Now this heart was put back in his stomach.
He couldn’t be bothered to look at what rewards he had obtained.
Jiang Ran clasped his fists at the Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince:
“Farewell! See you later!!!”
“Wait.”
This time the one who called out to Jiang Ran was not the Eldest Princess, but the Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince.
“What’s wrong?”
Jiang Ran spoke much softer with the Eldest Princess.
The Eldest Princess said softly:
“Now the four kingdoms have surrounded me will I, the Golden Cicada.
“This is a letter that was expedited eight hundred miles and sent back early this morning.”
Jiang Ran sniffed, his eyes narrowing slightly as he casually picked up the letter and scanned it.
This type of intelligence was often brief and concise.
After this glance, Jiang Ran also understood the gravity of the situation.
Nowadays, the armies of the four countries were all heading towards Golden Cicada.
“Yesterday, someone attacked Jade Stream City and was held back, but Autumn Leaf’s military flag has already appeared on top of the battlefield,” he said.
“By the looks of it, an agreement has been reached with the people of the Green Kingdom.”
The Eldest Princess’s voice was a little deep.
“What did Princess Xi Yue’s side say?”
Jiang Ran asked.
“The whip can’t reach …… no one knows how the Sacred Prince of Heaven is considering it nowadays. Although Princess Xi Yue is on our side, it’s impossible for us to cower because of him.”
The eldest princess looked toward Jiang Ran:
“In addition, the Li Kingdom and the Zha Kingdom’s men have already begun to declare war on us.
“The reason is that the Golden Cicada has colluded with the Devil Cult and lost the righteousness.
“They are trying to set things right.”
Jiang Ran nodded slightly and looked at the Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince:
“Can it be blocked?”
“It can’t be blocked.”
Golden Cicada Celestial Son said without the slightest hesitation:
“With the power of my country, I will not be afraid to fight against any of these four countries.
“However, they are entangled in one place, raising the world to attack Jin.
“Once unleashed, it is bound to be as strong as a bamboo …… This point, even if you personally go to the battlefield, it is difficult to change the situation.
“Therefore, today called you to come, is to want to see, can there be any method, can deal with this matter?”
“I am also a human being, not an immortal.”
Jiang Ran let out a bitter smile:
“Unless I’m handed over, so that the Li Kingdom and Zha Kingdom have no excuse ……”
“That won’t work.”
Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince shook his head flatly:
“Although you are a national thief, you are also a family thief.
“Where is the reason to hand over a family thief to an outsider?”
“What …… said isn’t wrong, it’s just that thieves are not thieves can you say less?”
Jiang Ran was speechless for a while.
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince, however, lost his mind for jokes and frowned in agonizing thought.
The Rapunzel was on the verge of saying something, and several times the words reached her mouth, but she swallowed it back.
“Actually, there are still some ways to deal with it ……”
Jiang Ran said:
“For example, I came to run a thousand miles to kill the emperors of these countries.
“It’s just that in that case, the world will definitely be in chaos.
“At that time, the group will rise up, although it can solve the momentary doom, but the people ……”
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince nodded.
If Jiang Ran did so, the war fire could not burn the Golden Cicada, but the other several countries in the group of heroes will certainly be within the borders of the country to fight and kill.
While it was feasible for the Golden Cicada to remain on the sidelines, once it entered the game, it would certainly suffer a great backlash.
The war will spread to every corner of the world.
At that time is the real people do not want to live, the earth as a purgatory.
The three people were silent, and after a long time, Jiang Ran suddenly smiled:
“Other than that, there is another way ……”
“What way?”
Golden Cicada Heavenly Son hurriedly looked at Jiang Ran:
“No matter what the solution is, whether it’s feasible or not, you can propose it.”
“Does Your Majesty know that my Demon Cult has a divine weapon …… It is rumored that this object has the ability to move mountains and seas, and if you get it, you can get the world!”
Jiang Ran looked towards the Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince.
Golden Cicada Celestial Son froze, then shook his head:
“Isn’t …… this the word of a legend? If there really is such a thing, where are the five kingdoms left in this world?
“Your Demon Sect has long since unified the world.”
“The fact that the Devil Sect can’t unify the world isn’t necessarily because of a lack of power, but because we don’t want to do so.”
Jiang Ran said:
“Well …… although I also think that this may be a legend.
“However, an empty cave may not be without a cause.
“With a legend like this, even the slightest bit of hope can’t be let go, can it?
“It just so happens that the person who knows the whereabouts of this item is by my side now.
“If I can find this item, perhaps the Golden Cicada still has a chance of survival.
“This world, too, still has a ray of hope.”
After the Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince was silent for a moment, he glanced at the Elder Princess.
The Eldest Princess sighed:
“At this point in time, this is perhaps, not a solution.
“Just looking for this thing needs time …… but I don’t know if the Golden Cicada has such time anymore?”
“Yes or no.”
Golden Cicada Celestial Son gritted his teeth and said:
“Since you guys intend to go searching, then let go of the matter.
“If we are able to find this thing, and the Golden Cicada dies at that time, then you guys can use this thing to help me kill a few enemy generals, as a way of taking out a bit of bad anger for me.
“Then, you guys will just go and wander the world.
“If the Golden Cicada is still around by then, then you guys will rush back to help.
“As for …… if you can’t find it, there’s no need to force it.
“Consider it as my Golden Cicada’s destiny.
“You guys go by yourselves, there’s no need to come back.”
“Imperial brother.”
The eldest princess looked at the Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince with complicated eyes.
Jiang Ran also looked at him and said softly:
“That being the case, it’s settled then.
“Time waits for no one, I’ll go and start making preparations ……”
As he said this, he looked at the Elder Princess:
“The number of people on this trip should be small rather than large.
“Luo Qingyi, Jin Ge and the others, I don’t want to bring them all with me, so let them go far into the battlefield and help out.
“Other than that, do you want to come with me?”
“Yes!”
The Rapunzel didn’t have any hesitation.
Jiang Ran nodded:
“That being the case, then it’s tentatively Poetry, Frightening Frost, Frightening Snow, and the six of you and me.
“Your Majesty, farewell.”
“Take care.”
The Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince looked at Jiang Ran:
“Just do your best.”
“Uh-huh.”
Jiang Ran nodded and looked at the Eldest Princess.
“I’ll accompany you out of the palace.”
The Eldest Princess asked Golden Cicada Celestial Son after she finished speaking:
“Is it still possible?”
“Naturally there is no problem, don’t underestimate your imperial brother’s ability.”
The Eldest Princess smiled at his words and then followed behind Jiang Ran, the two of them going straight outside the palace to prepare for the departure matters.
Inside the imperial study, the Golden Cicada Heavenly Prince sat on a chair, silently looking at the book case in front of him.
After a long time, he exhaled a breath:
“Come man ……”
……
……
Things had reached an imminent point.
After Jiang Ran returned, he began to coordinate the arrangements.
The first thing was that someone had to go to the front line to provide support.
Luo Qingyi, Jin Ge, Chu Yuniang, Tian Miaomiao, Xuanyuan Yidao, Wu Di …… and a number of others were among them.
Their martial arts were actually high enough.
And means each have their own strengths, with Jiang Ran side is not reflected.
But if it is on the battlefield, just one Wu Di, will be able to withstand an army.
Just how the manpower should be arranged, the Blood Sword Hall disciples, and how to go into battle.
All of these must take some thought to consider.
Later, Jiang Ran went to find Yan Wushuang.
After listening to Jiang Ran’s words, Yan Wushuang said that the Hundred Treasures would be obliged to help.
In the past, Yan Lingshan had founded the Hundred Treasures Association for this very purpose.
The Hundred Treasures Society had amassed great wealth precisely for the benefit of the people.
Now in the midst of a national tragedy, the Hundred Preciousness Society would not hesitate to dissipate its wealth.
At this point, the Hundred Treasures Association has become what Yan Lingshan wanted it to be.
Just after chatting about business, Jiang Ran also intended to talk to Yan Wushuang about some personal matters …… but Yan Wushuang wasn’t going to listen.
Covering her ears, she pushed Jiang Ran outward.
Until he stood at the front door of Hundred Treasures Building, Jiang Ran scratched his head, not knowing what this woman was thinking in her heart.
As if, he also did not understand, why the good Ruan Yuqing left a letter, told him that this life is not destined, this go no longer reunion period, hope that the gentleman is well …… and then ran away.
Can not understand, he does not want to.
After almost arranging the things that should be arranged.
Jiang Ran then went to find the Duo Demon Underworld King and asked where the divine weapon was hidden, where exactly was it?
Only what Jiang Ran never expected was that the Duo Demon Underworld King flipped his two hands:
“I don’t know either.”
