Chapter 542.

“This ……”

The elder brother among the four-armed blade devils frowned slightly:

“However, this time, the pursuit of Daoist Qingyuan ended in failure.

“Although we recovered Shi Pingzhang and prevented Qingyuan and the others from obtaining the complete formation diagram.

“But …… after all, we can’t completely rest on our laurels.

“Our brethren can stay here and continue to look for opportunities to assassinate Qing Yuan!”

“This is the order of Your Holiness, you dare to disobey it?”

The voice of the man in black carried a hint of grimness.

The elder brother among the four-armed blade demons’ face changed, and immediately said in a hurry:

“My subordinate does not dare to …… just ……”

His words were slightly stuttered, and only then did he say softly:

“The envoy has never asked about the matter of the Thousand Forge Hall, why did Your Lord call the envoy to pass the order this time?”

“Your Holiness has been planning for this for more than twenty years, and now that everything is about to succeed, at such a critical moment, even if this Envoy makes some exceptions, what can be done?

“If you continue to get entangled here, and spoil the good things of your Honorable Lord, you might be able to afford it?”

The man in black turned around, his hands behind his back, and there was already hidden anger in his voice.

“Yes …… subordinate dare not. We, the two brothers, will depart for the Thousand Forge Hall.”

After the elder brother among the four-armed blade demons finished speaking, he stood up and bowed before turning to leave.

Only after they had walked away did this black-robed envoy speak:

“Bring the people up.”

Two men with five short stature carried one person over and placed him on the ground.

This person’s eyes were closed tightly, his breathing was weak, and he already had a dead look.

It was none other than Shi Pingzhang who had been taken away by them.

The black-robed envoy gently waved his hand:

“Go down.”

“Yes.”

The surrounding crowd did not dare to disobey and left.

Turning around, the black-robed envoy looked at this Shi Pingzhang, and after a slight meditation, pattering sounds came out from under his black robe.

A single pitch-black bug spread out like a tidal wave, and in the blink of an eye, it rolled Shi Pingzhang within it.

These bugs drilled into his body from his seven orifices, and Shi Pingzhang’s body immediately trembled.

The whole process did not know how long it lasted, these black bugs from the body of Shi Ping Zhang drilled out, but did not return to the black robe of the black-robed envoy under the black robe.

Instead, they coalesced underneath Shi Pingzhang’s body, using the insects as a bed to hold his body up.

The black-robed envoy slowly turned around and was about to leave, but at that moment, his footsteps lurched.

A person wearing a mask was standing there at an unknown time.

Quietly looking at him.

……

……

The territory of Li Country is not small, there are nine cities and eighteen states.

The nine cities, on the other hand, were the nine largest state cities among the Li Country, majestic and magnificent, extraordinary.

Right on the northern road line, not long after a storm ended, Flying Star City among the nine cities welcomed a new group of guests.

“It is said that each of the nine cities of the Li State has an extraordinary City Lord to protect the safety of the city.

“Only, the position of the city lord is in the dynasty but not in the field, asking about people’s livelihood but not the jianghu.

“Although these people of theirs can be considered top experts when placed in the Jianghu, yet they rarely set foot in the Jianghu, it’s a pity.”

Tang Yuyi was holding the candy man that Jiang Ran had just bought for her, eating it while curiously looking at the surrounding scene.

As one of the nine cities, Flying Star City was naturally bustling with activity.

People came and went on the streets, buying and selling in an endless stream.

All kinds of vendors, selling all kinds of things that Golden Cicada couldn’t easily see.

Tang Yuyi felt that her eyes were not enough.

Looking at this, she wanted to buy that.

But after looking around, she didn’t pick a single thing.

The eldest princess, on the other hand, had seen a lot, and she had seen everything that was delicious and fun to look at.

These things are naturally not interested.

Fright Frost Fright Snow two love weapons.

The country does not prohibit the knife, walk on the street, can see some blacksmith stores to build out of the weapons set up in the stalls for people to choose.

Among them, there were also a number of mechanisms and ingenious pieces, arousing the two girls’ complete curiosity.

Only Tang Shixiang was really not bothered by anything, she just followed Jiang Ran’s side, wherever he went, she followed.

The people of the Tong family followed Jiang Ran and the others all the way for a few days.

They thought that Su Qing’s courtyard had fallen into the hands of this devil, and the next days must be very difficult.

Especially looking at this warbler around the devil, it was hard to say that he wasn’t a womanizer.

So much so that Tong He Sheng was even more worried that he would have bad intentions towards Tong Yanlin.

After all, Tong Yanlin is his precious granddaughter, the jewel in the palm of his hand.

How to see how good, his own baby in case by this evil man stared at, turn back and then moved the heart, their gang even if they are together, I am afraid that it is difficult to stop.

However, in the past few days, the Tong family had gradually lowered their guard.

Jiang Ran wasn’t just uninterested in Tong Yanlin, he didn’t make things difficult for Tong He Sheng and the others either.

There were some occasional exchanges on weekdays, and this demonic father was also quite modest and courteous.

It even made Tong He Sheng couldn’t help but develop a feeling of appreciation.

Feeling that this person is indeed stronger than that Zhou Ye do not know how much …… if not the identity of the devil, with his martial arts and demeanor, but is a good match for his granddaughter.

Back then, this thought was just a fleeting moment.

He knew very well what the four words Contemporary Demon Sovereign represented.

Comparing him to Zhou Ye was an insult to Jiang Ran.

As for the granddaughter …… that was even more of a delusion that he didn’t even dare to think about.

Even if the Devil Sovereign was truly interested, he wouldn’t dare to fulfill it.

Fortunately, as far as the current situation was concerned, each other were ultimately well-watered.

Now looking at Tang Yuyi’s curious face staring at the surrounding gadgets, the Tong family siblings looked at each other and felt somewhat speechless.

Listening to that Demon King’s words, this is the Holy Daughter of the Demon Sect.

How is it that she’s just like a wild girl from the countryside who hasn’t seen the world?

Of course, this was something to think about in one’s heart, no one dared to really say it.

The Devil Sovereign can naturally be humble and courteous, but likewise he can be thunderous and furious.

Don t think that if he smiles at you, you can be unbridled …… Otherwise, those corpses in the Thousand Forge Hall, Zhou Ye almost used a slap to kill himself alive …… This is all a lesson from the past.

And just as the thoughts in their minds swept about, they noticed that Jiang Ran suddenly stopped and looked at them.

Tong He Sheng and the others’ hearts tightened at the same time.

Just then, they saw Jiang Ran smile:

“My lord, my lady, I seldom travel far, but I’m not sure if this Flying Star City is this bustling every day?”

“This ……”

Tong He Sheng hesitated and said:

“Not …… normally speaking, although lively, but not as exaggerated as today.”

“That’s it.”

Jiang Ran reached out and pointed:

“Look, you guys, there’s someone setting up a running water banquet there.”

“A running water banquet ……”

Tong He Sheng froze and suddenly asked:

“What day is it today?”

Tong Yanlin pinched his fingers and said:

“Counting carefully, today is probably already the twenty-seventh of September.”

“Twenty-seven ah.”

Tong He Sheng slapped his head and said:

“Being chased all the way by this Thousand Forge Hall, I forgot that there was one more thing to do.

“Your Zhang family’s grandfather’s seventieth birthday on September 27th in Flying Star City.

“Go go go, since I’m here, I was about to bring you …….”

When his words reached here, he suddenly paused and stole a glance at Jiang Ran and the others:

“This …… this ……”

Jiang Ran smiled:

“Anyway, the reason for going into the city is to eat.

“Eating anywhere is fine.

“Only, I wonder if this Zhang family is?”

Tang Shixiang said softly:

“The Zhang Family of Flying Star City, the present-day senior is named Zhang Wanshan.

“In his early years, he studied under the Hao Xuan Sect, a great sect in the country of Li, and when he finished his art, he came down from the mountain with a pair of iron palms, and a set of [seventy-two Hao Yang Hands] made the name ‘Iron Palm Zhang Wanshan’.

“The man reached middle age before starting a family, so he chose to open a house in this Flying Star City, so far it has been more than thirty years.

“This man has two sons.

“The eldest son is called Zhang Ruolin, and should have to be thirty years old this year.

“Good character is good, is the martial arts flat, good in Zhang Wanshan in the jianghu network is good, usually light friends, we also give face, call this Wang Ruolin for the ‘small iron palm’, in fact, who all know that he can not hold up the facade of the Zhang family.

“The second son is young, this year should be just over eighteen.

“This person’s name is Zhang Ruohai.

“His person is better than the blue, and when he was only seven years old, he had already surpassed Zhang Ruolin in terms of stances.

“Over the past ten years or so, he has refined his internal and external training, and his martial arts have also improved by leaps and bounds, and it is said that he is already far superior to the Zhang Wanshan of yesteryear.

“Therefore, the clamor for his person to inherit the family business is the highest.

“However, this person is also precisely because of the natural talent, so stubborn and bad, there have been a few bad deeds, were Zhang Wanshan smoothed out.

“Finally …… Zhang Ruolin also has a son, only this year he is only six years old.”

Tang Shixiang narrated, but called Tong He Sheng’s face a little ugly.

This old friend of Flying Star City, his family’s situation was even casually told by this devil cult woman.

It could be seen that during the weekdays, this Demon Cult had never stopped snooping on this Jianghu.

Jiang Ran then stroked his chin and said:

“I see… ……The Tong family head, you should know what words to say and what words not to say, right?”

“…… This, this is natural.”

Tong He Sheng hurriedly nodded.

In terms of Jiang Ran’s nature, if he were to speak nonsense in this regard.

The unlucky one would never be Jiang Ran …… but Zhang Wanshan’s family.

Now himself and the descendants around him have already fallen into this person’s hands.

And why bother to involve his old friends from the past?

Thinking of this, even his thoughts of attending the banquet faded quite a bit.

He was about to find an excuse to convince Jiang Ran that they should have a meal and then leave …… when he heard a voice from the end of the street:

“Is that Tong Shibe in front!?”

The people present turned around and saw a man in his mid to late thirties with a long body and eyes full of surprise looking this way.

Tong He Sheng secretly said in his heart that he was also bitter.

Rarely seen on weekdays, this Fei Xing City was not small, and today the Zhang Family should be busy, welcoming guests from all directions.

Zhang Ruolin, the eldest son of the Zhang family, how could he be here?

However, when he saw it, he couldn’t pretend not to see it.

So he could only give a dry smile:

“So it’s Ruolin.”

That Zhang Ruolin heard Tong He Sheng open his mouth, and immediately hurriedly flew to follow him, saying as he walked:

“Tong Shibei, you can come.

“Early this morning, my father was at home …… complaining, saying that this is looking at the birthday banquet is about to arrive, how can I still not see your old man?

“More so, he instructed me to go out and look for it, is it that you …… you are old and forgot where the door of the Zhang family is?”

“The …… brat speaks in a subtle way. He will complain? I’m only afraid that he got up in the morning and was cursing his mother, saying that the old man disregarded the love of the past years, and that he didn’t even come to congratulate him on his seventieth birthday, right?

“Hmph, as for saying something about being too old to find a door.

“That’s still a nice way of putting it, with that broken mouth of his, it’s more than likely that he’s cursing the old man for being old and dim-eyed.”

Tong He Sheng hummed.

Zhang Ruolin gave a dry laugh:

“What is Tong Shisheng saying?

“Wouldn’t my father say this about you …… These two, they are Renjie and Yan Lin, right?

“They’ve grown so big in a flash.”

Tong Renjie and Tong Yanlin looked at each other and hurriedly saluted:

“Greetings, Uncle Shih.”

“Don’t be rude, don’t be rude.”

Zhang Ruolin waved his hand, and then looked at Jiang Ran and his party standing not far away, somewhat surprised:

“These several people are?”

“They are my Tong family disciples, who are traveling the rivers and lakes with my old husband this time to grow their knowledge.”

Tong He Sheng hurriedly said.

“So that’s how it is, all of them are bountiful and handsome, with a great temperament.

“Calls for envy.”

After casually complimenting two sentences, he hurriedly said:

“All of you don’t need to gossip here, the birthday banquet will start soon, follow me.”

Tong He Sheng glanced at Jiang Ran and saw him nodding slightly before he helplessly said:

“Good, that is, then please lead the way, virtuous nephew.”

Zhang Ruolin agreed and led the crowd in the direction of the Zhang Family.

While walking, he chatted with Tong He Sheng.

Jiang Ran and the others hung behind them, looking at the two sides of the street, along the way running water table, but also see a fresh and lively.

Just like this in the twinkling of an eye has arrived in front of the Zhang family.

This door is also lively outside the door.

Only congratulate birthday worship are not the same, not everyone is qualified to enter the Zhang family door.

Therefore, there were far more people outside than inside.

Zhang Ruolin led the crowd directly into the gate.

Informing the housekeeper that Iron Wall Canglong Tong He Sheng had arrived.

This statement immediately caused the crowd in the courtyard to gather around.

More so, some people immediately stood up to meet old senior Tong.

The eldest princess grinned at this:

“Look at this Tong He Sheng, groveling in front of you, forgetting that he is actually a big shot in the jianghu as well.”

Of course Iron Wall Canglong was a big shot.

It was just that this big shot also depended on who he was compared to, his status might be higher than the vast majority of the people in the arena today, but in front of Jiang Ran, he was not worth mentioning.

Jiang Ran gently nodded, and with a sweep of his gaze, he didn’t follow the crowd.

Instead, he found an empty table and sat down.

It was Tang Yuyi who didn’t pester Jiang Ran this time, but followed Tong Yanlin’s side.

After all, although Tong He Sheng’s words sounded good, who knew how he would do it behind his back?

There still had to be someone to keep an eye on him.

Seeing this, Jiang Ran glanced at Duo Demon Underworld King.

When he saw the food and wine, he was about to smile and laugh, when he realized that the eyes of His Holiness were not right.

After glancing at each other, there were question marks in both eyes.

Jiang Ran sighed, thinking that this King of the Underworld is straight, one day when he doesn’t see eye to eye, he should be killed in exchange for bounty.

Perhaps because of Jiang Ran’s evil heart, so that the Dudu Devil Underworld King felt the life and death crisis, this moment suddenly blessed to the heart, immediately stood up and followed Tong He Sheng’s back.

In this way, the women’s side of Tong Yanlin had Tang Wuyi following her.

Tong He Sheng was followed by the Demon King of the Underworld.

This was barely enough to ensure that nothing was lost.

Jiang Ran, on the other hand, casually poured himself a cup of wine, when he heard a person beside him say:

“The Zhang family is also a peak, although the eldest young master is no good, but the second young master is extraordinary, at a young age, the internal and external refinement of the body already has an extremely deep fire.

“Even after the old master’s hundred years, the second son of Zhang will be able to support the Zhang family for a hundred years without collapsing.”

Jiang Ran followed the man’s eyes and saw that a group of people were walking out of the door.

At the head of the group was an old man, whose age was not more than a few years different from Tong He Sheng.

Quickly stepping forward, he loudly scolded and complained about Tong He Sheng’s late arrival.

People over seventy years old, who knows how many days he still has to live, do not take advantage of their own time to live, more get together.

As he spoke, he almost burst into tears.

Next to him, walking alongside him, was a middle-aged man.

This person should be in a high position for many years, not angry.

But I don t know exactly what kind of person ……

At the other end, and Zhang Wanshan a body position difference, is a young man.

His appearance was clear, quite dashing, but his eyes were filled with cunning, and his gaze swept over Tong He Sheng’s body from time to time, and landed on Tong Yanlin’s body from time to time, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Jiang Ran copied the chopsticks, slightly pondered, shook his head, and did not take it to heart.

He just ate and drank on his own.

At this time, Tong He Sheng and the others had already been introduced into the main hall by this Elder Zhang.

It was thought that there was still some bustle inside.

Jiang Ran casually poured wine, ate and drank at will, not caring.

The people who came to drink at the banquet naturally didn’t care about what was happening inside, the chaos outside was enough to attract their attention.

Drinking makes it easy to lose one’s mind, and problems that would not have been exposed after losing one’s mind will somehow be exposed.

Some people sing loudly, some people quarrel, some people fight …… well here is after all the Zhang family, no matter what they do, but any excesses are over to stop, not to make a mess.

About the time is almost, Jiang Ran is planning to let Shixiang go to shout, let Tong He Sheng they prepare, it is time to depart ……

A maniacal laugh was heard coming from overhead.

The crowd looked up and saw Zhang Ruohai, the second son of the Zhang family who had been following Zhang Wanshan before dinner, at this moment, wearing only a pair of blasphemous pants, standing naked on the roof.

Shouting loudly:

“I’m a shameless man, I’m a womanizer, I have no face to face the jianghu, I’m scum!!!”

After saying this, he laughed maniacally and leapt down from the roof, smashing hard on the ground.

The crowd looked at each other speechless for a moment, what is this situation?

Zhang Er Gongzi, this is …… lost his mind?

Jiang Ran, on the other hand, was stunned, this Second Eunuch Zhang had clearly been hit by the Heart Demon Thought.

But Tang Painting Yi will not strike for no reason ……

Just thinking about it, I saw a silhouette stumbling out of the main hall, its people are not neatly dressed, it is Tong Yanlin.

Her eyes with tears, look around, just to see a long sword was placed on the table, immediately came to the front of a grab down, choking a long sword out of the sheath:

“I’ll kill you lecherous thief!!!”

She was furious with her sword, pointing it directly at Zhang Ruohai.

Jiang Ran watched the fun with rapt attention, then he felt that there was one more person beside him, and Tang Wuyi let out a light laugh:

“Brother-in-law, you don’t even know what I just saw …… If it wasn’t for my timely intervention, the Tong family and the Zhang family were afraid that they would have to tie a marriage with a difference in generations.”
