What follows is that it is all inconsequential idle matters.

Seeing that the hour was almost up, Jiang Ran asked Ren Guanlan to lie down, disguised as a corpse and sent him out.

For the time being, it was placed on the carriage.

Also resting in the carriage was a Wu lady.

Fortunately, Ren Guanlan didn't know the details of Mrs. Wu, but she was grateful to Jiang Ran for remembering to find a carriage for herself to shelter from the wind and rain.

Otherwise, who cares about a corpse?

Throwing it into the yard is not an ordinary reason.

After Jiang Ran settled Ren Guanlan here, he returned to the eldest princess's room.

The eldest princess did not lie down, apparently waiting for him.

Between the two people's eyes, the first to speak was the eldest princess:

"It's a big deal."

“…… Originally, this matter was not small. ”

Jiang Ran was speechless:

"There are people in the golden cicada who collaborate with the enemy and treason, and collude with Qingguo to assassinate the eldest princess of the dynasty.

"Can this be a trifle?

"The difference is that with Ren Guanlan's words, we know that the blood cicada is still ...... Of course, whether his words are true or false will have to be discerned again.

"However, if the blood cicada is really still there......

"What is the eldest princess going to do?"

"Such a thief should naturally be punished!"

The eldest princess didn't think about it, and her eyes were full of murder.

Jiang Ran pursed his lips:

"Punishment...... Definitely punished, I'm asking you, how are you going to be punished? ”

“…… Find them, punish them! ”

After the eldest princess finished saying this sentence as a matter of course, she seemed to spit out with some relief:

"Hongu understands what you're trying to say......

"They are so hidden, all these years, I don't know, my imperial brother doesn't know, and everyone in the entire Golden Cicada doesn't know!

"But whoever knows, fear that all are their people.

"They are hiding in the shadows, slowly stretching their minions, and now in the entire golden cicada, who knows how many are their people?

"This matter, even if it is to be investigated, must not be acted lightly.

"You need to be cautious, and you need to be cautious!"

Jiang Ran nodded slightly:

"That's right, since the eldest princess has such an understanding, then she can rest assured."

"What are you going to do?"

The eldest princess saw Jiang Ran get up to leave, and hurriedly shouted.

Jiang Ran said as a matter of course:

"As a petty thief, you should naturally do what a thief should do.

"I have a confidante, a beautiful wife, why are you doing here if you have nothing to do?"

“…… You wait and. ”

eldest princess says:

"Now that Ren Guanlan says this, I always feel that no one around me can believe it.

"Even Shan Cong, who has always been stupid, I feel that he has a bad heart.

"The only person in this palace who can trust now is you...... So, to investigate the matter of the Blood Cicada, you have to help me! ”

"What about the benefits?"

Jiang Ran did not refuse directly, but raised his eyebrows and looked at the eldest princess.

“……”

The eldest princess was silent for a moment:

"Why don't you do what you were going to do to Hongu?"

“…… I'm just going to go to the thatched house, how can I do it to you? ”

Jiang Ran wondered.

The eldest princess's face darkened:

"Bah, it's shameless!"

"Are you embarrassed to say me? As the eldest princess, you really don't want to be embarrassed...... I'm embarrassed to say anything. ”

Jiang Ran was speechless for a while.

"Then I don't have any other way now."

The eldest princess was also a little aggrieved when she said this:

"I owe you so much money......

"If I look back and find any excuse to let the imperial brother draw money from the treasury, I won't be able to settle down.

"Bengu really has no money now.

"I don't have money, my body is still there, you say that you like the word money, and you can't give money, so you have to give it to you.

"Anyway, you little lewd thief, confidants are all over the rivers and lakes, there is no more than me, and there is no less than me.

"If it can be done, I don't feel like I have suffered much loss!"

"Nonsense, I'm at a loss!"

Jiang Ran gave her a big white look:

"About the Blood Cicada...... I'll think about it.

"I'll give you an answer when I get to the capital."

"Okay."

The eldest princess was also very happy, and finally tilted her head and asked:

"Really not interested in me?"

"Retreat, retreat!"

Jiang Ran rolled his eyes and pressed back the head that the eldest princess had leaned over.

The eldest princess's angry fangs and claws:

"I'm the eldest princess of a country!!"

"I hope you can remember who you are."

Jiang Ran felt that the white eyes of his life were almost finished tonight, so he shook his head:

"Okay, I'll go back first, you have a good rest."

"That's ......"

The eldest princess looked at Jiang Ran and said with a blank look:

"However, you must think carefully, and when you arrive in the capital, you must give me an answer.

"Now I have no one to rely on, and the only one I can trust is you......

"If you don't help me, I'm just afraid of ......"

Jiang Ran glanced at her:

"Pretend to be pitiful...... I pondered, even if the golden cicada destroyed the country, you would be fine. ”

"I'm baba What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Believe it or not, the imperial brother will give you a decisive decision? ”

"Does he have what it takes?"

Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows.

“…… Sure enough, he is a reckless man in the rivers and lakes, and he is extremely hateful! You river thief! ”

Jiang Ran didn't plan to entangle with this woman, and after he had said that, he turned around and went out.

The night was cold, and Jiang Ran's mind was unusually sober.

As he paced back to his room, he couldn't help but think of the blood cicada in his mind......

Just thinking about it, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Ye Jingshuang sitting there.

Jiang Ran didn't know why, everyone said that Ye Jingshuang and Ye Jingxue looked exactly the same.

Of course, Jiang Ran also thinks so.

But I don't know why, he can always recognize at a glance, which one is Ye Jingshuang and which one is Ye Jingxue.

"It's so late and you haven't rested yet?"

Jiang Ran came to the table and sat down and poured her a cup of tea.

"Brother Jiang, you have something on your mind."

Ye Jingshuang looked at Jiang Ran, not a question, but an affirmation.

"Why do you say that?"

Jiang Ran smiled.

"It's all written on your face."

Ye Jingshuang picked up the teacup, sucked it gently, and finally exhaled softly:

"Of course, that's probably the only one I can tell...... Can you tell me about it? What happened? ”

"Hmmm......"

Jiang Ran thought for a moment and said:

"I once swore at the grave of your parents that I would take care of you for the rest of my life.

"This is a covenant of one.

"If you were willing, you and I would be the closest people in the world.

"So, there are some things I wanted to tell you as well......

"It's just that I don't know, after knowing these things, is it good or bad for you......

"If you feel that this matter has too much impact on you, no matter what choice you make, I can accept it."

Ye Jingshuang was stunned for a moment:

"Is it such an important thing?"

Jiang Ran nodded:

"There are a lot of things involved, sometimes the situation, there are major events in the world, there are my private affairs, and there are disputes between good and evil...... All in all, it's messy.

"If you want to hear it, I'll tell you slowly."

"Okay."

Ye Jingshuang nodded:

"You say, I listen!"

These simple four words are already the answer to Ye Jingshuang's mental preparations.

Jiang Ran looked at her:

"Don't think about it anymore?"

"I've been thinking about it for a long time."

Ye Jingshuang said with a smile:

"I can."

Jiang Ran did not continue to dwell on it, but began to slowly tell his life experience.

His words didn't add too much personal emotion, but at the beginning, he started with the content of the Demon Sect.

tells that the Demon Sect had a demon country back then, and the demon country had a divine weapon.

How did they pursue the great freedom of the Heavenly Demons, and finally destroyed the country and became a demon sect...... This brings us to the root of the War of the Five Kingdoms.

mentioned the previous generation of Demon Venerable Jiang Tianye, as well as ...... Mrs. Qingyang.

Again, it talked about Jiang Ran himself.

Since Jiang Ran started from the Demon Sect, Ye Jingshuang had already been mentally prepared.

But when she heard the old drunkard pick up the child who was suffering from nine dead veins from the snow, she couldn't help but feel a hard pang in her heart.

"Nine Dead Pulses?"

She couldn't help but interrupt:

"Nowadays...... What's happening now? ”

As everyone knows, the Nine Dead Pulse will not live to be twenty years old.

And she remembered that when she first saw Jiang Ran, he was about to be twenty years old.

That is ...... now.

Thinking of this, he didn't care about any demon sect, the first thing he cared about was Jiang Ran's body, and he felt even more painful, and he hated to be able to replace him.

Jiang Ran shook his head slightly:

"It's okay...... Perhaps you are my lucky star, and since the day you and I met, I have obtained a secret method that can suppress and even cure the Nine Dead Veins.

"That's why I'm sitting here and talking to you now."

Ye Jingshuang was relieved when she heard him say this:

"That's good, that's good......"

"Good is good...... But it was for another group of people to toss in vain, but this is also a good thing. ”

"Oh?"

"Listen to me tell you slowly......"

Jiang Ran also did not hide things about Tang poetry and Tang painting.

When it's a little bit of it, it's all told.

It's just that when I heard Tang Shiqing practicing the first sorrow of the ages in order to save Jiang Ran, I was a little unclear.

After Jiang Ran told the mysteries of the first sorrow of eternity like this, Ye Jingshuang's eyes were red:

"Original...... She's done so much for you.

"Brother Jiang, you can't bear her in this life."

"The more time we spend together, the more different I feel in my heart.

"It's just that, in this way, I'm afraid that favoritism over the other will be unfair to you."

As a man, three wives and four concubines are naturally yearning in his heart.

Although Jiang Ran, as a modern person, is accustomed to the monogamous system, he has been in this life for many years, and the things in his previous life are really as if a lifetime has passed.

It's just that in terms of feelings, it is inevitable that they will feel unfair to them.

Ye Jingshuang shook his head slightly:

"If you treat her kindly, my heart will be terrified.

"She has paid so much for you, you can be ruthless and abandon it, and ...... in the future What should I do? ”

“……”

Jiang Ran pondered, feeling that this seemed to be true, but it didn't seem to be true.

After thinking about it, I decided not to dwell on this issue more.

The main thing tonight is to explain my own affairs to Ye Jingshuang.

Now it seems that the situation is not bad.

It's good to accept it anyway...... As for how to accept it, what kind of mental struggle, Jiang Ran doesn't plan to delve too deeply, get to the bottom of it, and regret it when he turns around.

After that, Jiang Ran said what he knew again.

All the way to the frenzy......

Ren Guanlan was saved by him by stealing the sky.

and tells the story of twenty years ago, Jiang Tianye and Mrs. Qingyang fought with the masters of the Five Kingdoms.

Hearing this, Ye Jingshuang finally understood what Jiang Ran was thinking now:

"So, the Blood Cicada is actually not just the opponent of the eldest princess.

"The same ...... They are also your big enemies, Brother Jiang! ”

The enmity of parents is not shared!

The great enemy indeed!

Jiang Ran shook his head lightly:

"It may seem a little chilly to say......

"But I was raised by an old drunkard since I was a child, and my six relatives are shallow, and I don't miss my parents much.

"Besides, my situation is a bit special, and I don't have any different feelings for my biological parents......

"So...... Blood and revenge, revenge or not, I don't really care as much as you think. ”

When he said this, he paused and glanced at Ye Jingshuang:

"Aren't you surprised that there are people in this world who can ignore their parents' hatred?"

Ye Jingshuang just looked at Jiang Ran fixedly:

"It's not that you're ignoring this parental feud, it's just ...... You have never been close to them, and you have never felt that they are good to you.

"The affection in the heart is naturally shallow.

"You can't be blamed for that...... If you want to blame, you can blame the person who started that battle back then. ”

"Jiang Tianye?"

"It's the lord of these five countries!"

“……”

Jiang Ran took Ye Jingshuang's hand, put it on his knee, and said softly:

"You now know that I am a member of the Demon Cult...... There are a lot of them, and they all call me Shaozun now.

"Perhaps, in the future, I will also become the Demon Venerable of the Demon Sect!

"Are you still willing to follow me like this?"

Ye Jingshuang looked up at Jiang Ran:

"Sometimes we don't really have a choice for ourselves, right?

"It's like I'm ...... I was born as a descendant of the Red Maple Family.

"She is a decent woman on the rivers and lakes.

"If the person who gave birth to me is an ordinary couple, then I am just a village girl in the countryside.

"If the person who gave birth to me was an evil demon, then I would probably become a little demon girl who everyone shouted and killed!

"We never get to choose where we come from.

"Brother Jiang, your mentor brought you with him to raise you, but he didn't want you to accept the teachings of the Demon Sect, and he didn't tell you all this until you have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and the power to distinguish between good and evil.

"I just want you to know...... We can't choose where we come from, but we can choose what kind of person we are! ”

Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment, and then laughed:

"Then I must be this Demon Venerable?"

"That'...... You must have your reasons too. ”

Ye Jingshuang said softly:

"I think that if you become a Demon Venerable, it may not be a bad thing, and it may rewrite the pattern of the Demon Sect for thousands of years."

Jiang Ran sighed:

"You're blind worship."

"So what...... Anyway, it seems to me that you are doing the right thing.

"At that time, you didn't know that you were a Demon Venerable, and I didn't know that you were the son of a Demon Venerable in the past.

"In my eyes, you are the hero who saved me from fire and water.

"It's a big hero, a big hero!

"Can I feel that because I know your origin, I don't count all the kindness you gave me back then?

"You are the most chivalrous person I have ever met, and you are a well-deserved Jiang hero!"

Ye Jingshuang gently leaned against Jiang Ran's side:

"It's just that I didn't expect you to have such a miserable background.

"It makes my heart so sour, but I hate that I have known you for too short...... You can't whisper comfort by your side when you're sad.

"Even if it's useless, at least someone will talk to you, and your heart will be less afraid."

Jiang Ran's fingertips trembled slightly.

Afraid......

Scared?

I'm afraid!

Reliving a lifetime, I have come to such a colorful river and lake again.

When he was young, the dream of fresh clothes and angry horses fighting swords and green shirts seems to be about to come true.

As a result, reality told him that he would die at the age of twenty.

As a traverser, the first thought comes to mind.

But when anger comes on, as you get older...... Are you afraid?

How can you not be afraid!?

Jiang Ran is also a human being, and even human beings are afraid of death.

If he doesn't know where the time of death is, he is still fearless, but he knows......

Twenty years old!

It was as if it were a road of only twenty miles, and with each mile he was one minute closer to death.

How could he not have such a fear of approaching death bit by bit?

Death is not scary...... Waiting for death is terrible!

However, he never showed this.

The old drunkard only felt that he was free and easy, but he didn't know that he was just forced to laugh, and finally gradually became numb.

Now Ye Jingshuang's words have directly stabbed the softest place in his heart.

Jiang Ran subconsciously hugged her into his arms, as if he wanted to find the power that no one could perceive on this soft delicate body.

Ye Jingshuang did not push Jiang Ran away, and hugged his body with his backhand.

It was a long time before the two men separated.

Jiang Ran smiled dumbly:

"Seems a bit embarrassing......"

"No, it won't."

Ye Jingshuang stretched out her hand, traced a line along Jiang Ran's cheeks, and said softly:

"Wouldn't it feel better?"

"It's a lot more comfortable."

Jiang Ran said softly:

"Let's go back to the previous topic...... My heart is not just because of the blood feud of my parents.

"It's more because of the old drunkard.

"When I was in Jinyang Mansion, this old guy once again said goodbye without saying goodbye.

"I'm not entirely sure, but I always feel like he might have gone to avenge my mother......"

"Huh?"

Ye Jingshuang was stunned.

Jiang Ran told her that the old drunkard had a past with his mother.

Ye Jingshuang's eyes blinked when she listened, as a girl, such gossip was obviously very much in line with her appetite.

But when I thought of the protagonists of this matter, one was Jiang Ran's master, and the other was Jiang Ran's mother...... I feel that eating such a melon as my identity is a little inappropriate.

But in the blink of an eye, I already understood:

"So, you're worried about your master?

"Then we have to be involved in this matter no matter what!"

"That's right, just can't be too eager...... Otherwise, the eldest princess will be noticed.

"This woman...... It seems ordinary, but in fact, his mind is sharp. ”
