Chapter 169: Defenseless

Facing Lin Ran's question, Jiang Wan really didn't think for a while of how to prove that he was a person sent by Lin Sinian.

Seeing that Jiang Wan and Jiang Ling couldn't come up with evidence, Lin Ran's mood was bad, she frowned, and directly called the guards outside.

"Come on, drag the two of them down and beat them to death." Lin Ran lightly understated Jiang Wan and Jiang Ling, and decided the next result.

As soon as she heard Lin Ran's words, Jiang Wan immediately became anxious, and remembered the dagger that Lin Sinian had stabbed herself in order to frame her before.

Because Lin Sinian was in a coma at that time, and she was detained in Ye Huaijin's mansion, Ye Huaijin defaulted to the dagger being hers, so she gave the dagger to her.

Originally, she didn't want it, but then she felt that she didn't have any weapons at hand, so she kept the dagger.

Now at this time, Jiang Wan remembered the existence of the dagger, and she took it out.

"Princess, please look, this dagger shadow should be the stuff of His Second Highness!"

When Lin Ran heard this, he asked people to bring the dagger to him.

After a closer look, Lin Ran found that this dagger was really Lin Sinian's thing, so she didn't say that she wanted to let Jiang Wan and Jiang Ling be dragged out, and beat them to death.

However, Lin Ran still has precautions against Jiang Ling and Jiang Wan, after all, she is not a person who easily trusts others.

The reason why Lin Ran believed Jiang Wan so easily last time was because Jiang Wan had been his own doctor and did not lie to himself.

The second is that Jiang Wan once sacrificed his life to save himself, and people always have a little filter and kindness to their life-saving benefactors.

Lin Ran didn't believe that Jiang Wan would save her life for no reason, so she believed that Jiang Wan and Jiang Ling were sent by her second brother to protect her secretly.

Now Jiang Wan did not save Lin Ran at a critical juncture like the last time, but went to Lin Ran first and told Lin Ran that the two sisters were the people who Lin Sinian secretly sent over and was ordered to protect her.

In this way, Lin Ran naturally refused to believe what Jiang Wan said.

However, Jiang Wan now took out Lin Sinian's dagger, and Lin Ran barely believed what Jiang Wan said.

Because this time Lin Ran didn't believe Jiang Wan like last time, Jiang Wan didn't dare to tell Lin Ran directly as he planned at the time, let her ambush in advance, and be careful that the people who defended the country would assassinate at night.

Time passed in such a hurry, and soon it was the day when the last time, the night of the Patriotic Invasion.

With the experience of the last time, Jiang Wan simply didn't sleep this time, and when he saw someone coming to sneak attack, he immediately notified Lin Ran's subordinates and rushed to intercept and kill those assassins.

Because he knew that these assassins were sent by the country, Jiang Wan didn't care about this interrogation, and waited directly for Lin Ran's people to interrogate the assassins.

Facts have proved that those assassins sent by the Jin State to pretend to be from the Wei Guo really confessed once again that they were assassins sent by the Wei Guo.

Knowing the origin of the assassins, Lin Ran ordered them to be sentenced to a thousand cuts, which is what Lin Ran said.

"If you dare to assassinate this palace, you will have to pay the due price, come and drag them down to this palace, and a thousand knives will be scraped."

Those who heard this all felt that Lin Ran's approach seemed to be a little cruel.

However, she is the princess of Zhao State, the future queen of Chu State, and their subordinates naturally dare not be aggressive.

After dealing with those assassins, Lin Ran led his large army past the last Qingquan Mountain.

Originally, Jiang Wan thought that he might encounter bandits from Qingquan Village blocking the road and robbing him.

Unexpectedly, they all arrived in Linzhou City in the end, and the bandits from Qingquan Village did not come out.

"It shouldn't be! Didn't we get robbed here last time?" Jiang Ling frowned and said to himself, "Why didn't anything happen this time?"

Seeing Jiang Ling so confused, Jiang Wan thought about it and explained to Jiang Ling.

Maybe it's because our team is relatively large this time, and the bandits saw that they couldn't grab us, so they let us go." Jiang Wan speculated.

"That's right, we only had about a dozen people last time, and those bandits naturally dared to get started when they saw us.

But now that we have such a large contingent of relatives, he naturally doesn't dare to come forward and rob it." Jiang Ling nodded in agreement.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wan actually felt a little pity, after all, she still wanted to clean up Jiang Yu, after all, it was this hateful man who shot Lin Ran with an arrow, and she was afraid that Lin Ran would not die, so she smeared the arrow with poison.

In the end, she had to go again, and she didn't have Lin Ran's trust in her, thinking of this, Jiang Wan became angry.

Not far away, Jiang Yugang and his subordinates gave a generous gift to the prefect of Linzhou, and he was planning to return to Qingquan Village.

It turned out that they were not from Qingquan Village, and seeing that Jiang Wan's team of relatives was too large, he planned not to rob them.

On the contrary, they often rob such large convoys.

The reason why they didn't do anything to Jiang Wan and them this time was that it was completely the prefect of Linzhou City, who greeted them in advance.

This time, the convoy was sent by Zhao Guo to Chu Guohe, so they must not do anything about it, otherwise they will have a big deal and their heads will be lost.

Jiang Yu knew about this, and on the one hand, he specially instructed his subordinates in the village not to dare to rob Jiang Wan and his party.

On the other hand, Jiang Yu brought a heavy gift to thank the prefect of Linzhou.

I have to say that Jiang Yu is still very good at being a person.

Seeing that nothing happened along the way, Jiang Wan and Jiang Ling also relaxed their protection of Lin Ran.

But they never imagined that as soon as they relaxed, Jiang Wan returned to the time when they first met Lin Ran.

Jiang Wan really felt very heartbroken......

How did this happen? That has to start after Jiang Wan and the others arrived in Linzhou City.

On that day, a gentle drizzle fell on the carriage of Jiang Wan and others.

Looking out through the curtains on the carriage, there were few pedestrians on the street, perhaps because of the rain, most of the passers-by were in a hurry, and only the people who bought umbrellas along the road were still shouting.

Jiang Wan didn't notice anything wrong, but felt that there seemed to be a slight decrease in the number of pedestrians here, and everyone's faces were somewhat numb.

But because of the rain, she ultimately blamed it on the weather, which made the people look like this.

After all, even Jiang Wan herself, she doesn't like rainy days very much, and whenever she encounters rainy weather, her mood will not be very good.

When Jiang Wan and the others entered Linzhou City, they originally planned to find a similar restaurant, and after resting, they continued to rush to Shengye.

Who would have thought that after Jiang Wan and the others entered the city, they actually saw the prefect of Linzhou who came to meet Lin Ran in the rain.

That prefect spoke really nicely, and as soon as Jiang Wan saw that person, her intuition told her that this person was definitely not a good person.

And that's exactly what happened.

The prefect of Linzhou was originally a greedy and lustful gentleman, but when he reached his age, his family spent money to find him the official position of this prefect.

Since he took office, not only did he not want to diligently cultivate political affairs and change his ways, but he bullied men and women everywhere in Linzhou City, and did all the bad things.

Because Linzhou City is located in a remote area, he not only raised taxes privately, but also colluded with the bandits of Qingquanzhai not far away.

Then he secretly let the bandits solve the family, and this is how many of his political achievements over the years came about.

Because no one can take the bandits of Qingquan Village, the local people can't take this Linzhou prefect.

The local people really felt miserable about this, so Jiang Wan would see the appearance of the people after entering the city.

Jiang Wan wanted to remind Lin Ran to be careful of the prefect of Linzhou who didn't look like a good person, but Lin Ran didn't care at all.

Lin Ran only felt that her status was noble, but she didn't think much of it was just a prefect, and she felt that there was something to guard against in that prefect.

And Lin Ran also thinks that she will be the queen of Chu in the future, and the prefect of Linzhou pleases her so much, this is the right thing to do, and thinks that the prefect of Linzhou will be a man.

The prefect coaxed Lin Ran, which was called a happy one, so that the original stay of only one or two days was forcibly delayed to five or six days.

Jiang Wan has always put his focus on guarding against the prefect of Linzhou, but as everyone knows, in the shadows of Linzhou City, there are Ji Shuyan and others who have been waiting in Linzhou for a long time, and Ji Zhuoyan and others sent by Ye Huaijin are waiting for them here.

Because Jiang Wan didn't know about the existence of Ji Shuyan and the others, he accidentally made Ji Shuyan succeed and successfully assassinated Lin Ran.

Jiang Wan really regretted dying, and he knew that he had known that he had not treated Ji Zhuoyan's eyes.

Now he has cured Ji Shuyan's eyes, but he has suffered himself, and he has added a strong opponent to himself for no reason.
