Chapter 368: The Head of the Meeting
Uncle Chen glanced at Jiang Ran and nodded slightly:
"I know what the young master is thinking.
"How could it not be the master?
"It's a pity...... Miss Qingyang was seriously injured at that time, and there was no reason to survive.
"Young master, you don't have to think too much about it, it's hard to be sad."
Jiang Ran lowered his head slightly, took a sip of the teacup, and moistened his throat slightly:
"After that...... Have you ever looked for an old drunkard? ”
"I found it."
Uncle Chen smiled bitterly:
"But I didn't look for long, because after that, we found out that the young master was in poor health.
"The owner is running around for this, collecting treasures for you, and wants to heal your body......"
Jiang Ran also knew what happened after this.
It's just that when he said this, he suddenly thought of one thing:
"What kind of relationship is there between the old drunkard and the Phantom Sea Tower?"
On the night of Jinyang Mansion, in addition to the Zuo Zun who abandoned the sky and the moon and the heavenly que, he was the little old man of the illusory sea building.
This person's illusion skills are exquisite, which is completely different from the methods of the Demon Sect's inner demonic thoughts.
You can inadvertently deceive your eyes and change the day.
At that time, Jiang Ran and the old drunkard's attention was on the left and right sides of the Heavenly Que, and this person deceived him into coming to him, and none of them found out about the master and apprentice.
Although if he knew that the person from the Illusory World Sea Tower was by his side, Jiang Ran would not be deceived by this.
But even so, having such a skill is enough to make people feel frightened.
However, the real point is that he went to save the eldest princess and her party that night.
The old drunkard didn't say goodbye, and at the same time took away the little old man of the illusory sea building.
This does not allow Jiang Ran to think too much.
It's just that the Phantom Sea Tower is extremely mysterious.
Since the old drunkard entered the Phantom Sea Tower alone, they have never been able to hide.
If it is said, they and the old drunkard really have some secret relationships hidden in it that others don't know.
It wasn't so much that the abandoned sky and moon found them and teamed up to deal with the old drunkard.
It's better to say that the Phantom World Hailou took the initiative to appear and use them to find the old drunkard.
After Uncle Chen heard Jiang Ran's words, he didn't answer.
Instead, he fell into a long silence.
Jiang Ran was not in a hurry, and sat there quietly waiting.
Seeing that the streets were lively, the tea in the cup was cold.
Uncle Chen slowly spoke:
"Young master, forgive me, the old slave has been entangled in this matter, and I really don't know if I should discuss it with the young master in detail.
Judging from the young master's current situation, the master should not have said much to the young master.
"Even so, the old slave doesn't dare to talk nonsense."
Jiang Ran was not annoyed when he heard this, but laughed:
"In this way, the old drunkard and the Phantom World Sea Tower really have some connection.
"You have something to hide from me...... Are you worried that I won't be able to face the danger? ”
"The old slave doesn't know what his master thinks."
Uncle Chen bowed his head slightly.
"That's it."
Jiang Ran waved his hand lightly:
"I don't embarrass you, uncle, this matter is here......
"But I have a question for you."
"Young master, please speak."
"Is the old drunkard facing the Blood Cicada?"
Jiang Ran spoke slowly.
Uncle Chen hesitated for a moment, and finally said three words:
"Not only."
"Sure enough......"
Jiang Ran stood up:
"That person helped me look at it, and now every clue is very important to me.
"There is no bones left of this man, but he must not appear before men."
"The old slave understands."
Uncle Chen bowed slightly.
Jiang Ran said with a smile:
"That's it, then I'll go first. Tonight, there is still a meeting in the mountains and seas, but there is no time to come here.
"I'll come back tomorrow."
"Congratulations to the young master."
Uncle Chen's words fell, and Jiang Ran's figure had already disappeared into the window.
The room fell silent, and after a long time, Uncle Chen sighed softly:
"The young master is very good.
"The host...... Are you overthinking? ”
When this question came out, I did not hope for any reply.
for there was no one in this room but him.
After pondering repeatedly, he took out his pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote a letter, but after the letter was finished, he did not send it away by means.
Instead, it was placed on the table and watched quietly.
After looking at about a cup of tea, he shook his head slightly, took the letter in his hand, and urged it with internal force, and the letter suddenly spontaneously combusted without fire.
It wasn't until he was completely dusted that he waved his sleeves and dispersed the green smoke that filled the room.
Get up and open the door and get ready to make a living.
……
……
Jiang Ran sat on a roof and quietly watched Langhuan Bookstore for a long time.
Until the sun rises, I have not waited for anything.
After all, he sighed:
"Yes, there is no connection...... Still don't want to get in touch?
"Old drunkard, old drunkard, where did you go?
"Since it's not just the blood cicada, do you have to come to the door one by one to collect debts from the masters of the five countries back then?
"What role does the Phantom Sea Tower play in this?
Uncle Chen's silence was an answer.
Unfortunately, the answer is still too shallow......
"Fortunately, I seem to be on the right path now, and if I continue to walk along this path, I should be able to see you, right?"
He clapped his hands lightly, turned over and stood up, unfolded his body, and returned to the princess's mansion.
Inside the princess's mansion, everything is as usual.
When Jiang Ran came back, it was lunch.
There was laughter in the room.
Jiang Ran glanced at the eldest princess sitting on the top, and she was also trembling with laughter, and she was a little confused for a while.
When asked, it was a joke made by Tang Huayi when he first came to the capital.
At that time, she proposed that she should go to the palace to steal the food cooked by the imperial kitchen and serve Jiang Ran wine.
Jiang Ran didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
As a result, the eldest princess easily found time to eat with them today, so she talked about it as gossip.
Anyway, they are all a group of reckless people, where do they care about imperial power and wealth?
The eldest princess had long been accustomed to their lawlessness.
It's just that after listening to it, he said with a strange expression:
"If you want to eat the food cooked by the imperial kitchen, why bother to go to the palace?
"The cooks in the princess's mansion are all imperial chefs...... What do you want to eat, tell this palace, and this palace will go to ask the imperial brother for a cook, why steal it? ”
After saying this, everyone present was speechless.
Then he burst out laughing.
Tang Huayi pretended to be Jiang Ran at that time, but it was not good to lose his temper, otherwise how could he be willing to lose such a big person, without showing his teeth and claws?
After Jiang Ran listened to the cause and effect, he also smiled.
But it was immediately up to business.
There were all people he trusted, but there was only one Yan Wushuang who was not very sure, but because the matter was related to her, Jiang Ran did not hide it much, and directly told what happened last night.
When he heard that the eldest grandson Wuji was originally from Xiaochunzhuang, Yan Wushuang's hands shook.
The cup in his hand almost fell on the table.
looked up at Jiang Ran and wanted to ask for a certificate.
Jiang Ran took care of himself and repeated Wu Qianzhong's words.
"It can't ......"
Yan Wushuang subconsciously spoke:
He ...... How could he...... That's not right. ”
But what was wrong, she couldn't say.
subconsciously wanted to deny it, but what Jiang Ran said was reasonable.
The death of her parents is already a bit strange.
The eldest grandson Wuji said that he was knocked unconscious as soon as he made his move, and when he woke up, everything should be settled.
Then no one doubted his words.
But now that I think about it, his martial arts are the weakest, if he is really hit, how can it be as simple as just being knocked unconscious?
The other party deliberately besieged and killed, how could he leave such a big gap?
After all, the Baizhen Society is by no means easy to provoke.
Letting the eldest grandson Wuji go back will inevitably bring endless trouble to his family.
As a result, the eldest grandson Wuji went back like this.
And because he didn't know anything about it, Yan Lingshan could only go to the country to find the enemy in person.
As a result, he was seriously injured and dying from the brutal beating of the autumn night.
If all of this is not a coincidence, but a well-arranged trap, then everything that doesn't make sense can make sense.
But such a heavy truth made Yan Wushuang a little breathless.
She looked up at Jiang Ran, who was still talking, but she didn't listen to what he said later.
Jiang Ran kept telling all the names and lists that Wu Qianzhong had confided, and then he stopped.
The eldest princess is sweating:
"Is this list serious?"
"True and false, how it is, it depends on how the eldest princess chooses.
"And the Holy One, how to decide."
"You can't tell the royal brother about this matter......"
The eldest princess slowly closed her eyes and said softly:
"Dive into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently.
"The roots of the blood cicada must take root on both sides of the rivers and lakes, and it is really not an empty word.
"But if everything that is written is true...... So today's sword division, is it the sword division of the golden cicada, or the sword division of the blood cicada? ”
Jiang Ran looked at the eldest princess with some sympathy in her eyes.
It also reminded him of the S.H.I.E.L.D. in Marvel......
Hydra S.H.I.E.L.D. division.
The entire S.H.I.E.L.D., up and down, was infiltrated by Hydra.
When it comes to the eldest princess, it is a similar situation.
It can be regarded as a branch of the Blood Cicada Sword Division.
Fortunately, although the framework of the Sword Division has been established, it is not too rooted in the court.
For the rivers and lakes, it is also a group of pulls, a group of kills, and a group of kills, and it is not done to the end.
The means are soft, and the progress of all parties is not fast.
Therefore, the influence is also limited.
Even if the Blood Cicada completely occupies the Sword Command Division and wants to take advantage of it to make a living, it is far from enough.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran said:
"The eldest princess should not panic first.
"The mouth of the bloody cicada is very hard, although I have someone to help me pry the man's mouth open.
But what that man said, he couldn't fully believe it.
"Further confirmation is needed.
"In other words, there are certainly Blood Cicada masters in the Sword Commanding Division, but not everyone obeys them.
"The namelessness of the Tao is a living example of this."
The eldest princess was slightly uplifted when she heard this:
"You're right.
"Now he gives a basket of sand, and you have to sift through it to know which ones are stones and which ones are fine sand!"
Jiang Ran glanced at the eldest princess:
"Got an idea?"
The eldest princess smiled slightly:
"Bengong said it, and you helped sum it up?"
"Tell me about it."
"I'm going to divide them up and start a fight between them."
Jiang Ran picked up the chopsticks, and when he finished speaking, he could start eating.
I picked up a piece of meat that I didn't know what it was, and stuffed it into my mouth.
And the eldest princess said:
"This method of this palace is a bit bold.
"First of all, I want to announce a message within the Sword Command Division......
"Let's just say that there is a lawless organization in the territory of the golden cicada, rooted in the imperial power, but it wants to transcend the imperial power.
"These people are secretive and powerful.
"Fortunately, there are their people in the Sword Commanding Division, who have been rebelled by the main palace, so that the main palace has caught their feet."
"You're a ...... of a false shot"
After listening to Tang Huayi, he thought for a while and said:
"There is no mention of blood cicadas, every sentence is a blood cicada.
"And the so-called rebellion gives them a goal.
"They may be more anxious than you are to find this person who has been rebelled against you."
"That's right."
The eldest princess smiled and said:
"Then the palace sees one of the people on this list every day.
"If you're lucky, you'll be the first one, and you just need to spy on this person to do the first sifting.
"If you're unlucky, there's nothing wrong with the first person you pick.
As long as the person I see for the second time, or even the third time, is really a person in the blood cicada, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of others.
In this way, pull out the radish and bring out the puree.
"Then cooperate with Jiang Daxia's interrogation method...... Although it may be impossible to completely eliminate the blood cicada minions in the Sword Command Division.
"But it will definitely clear a piece of pure land in the Sword Commanding Division."
Jiang Ran nodded thoughtfully:
"It's a good idea, and it can be used. However, in this way, it may also arouse the vigilance of the blood cicada......
"However, the eldest princess was their target.
"As the saying goes, if there are more lice, you don't itch, and if you have more debts, you don't have to worry.
"It's not a ploy.
"But there's one more ...... You don't have to describe the characteristics of the blood cicada so clearly.
"It needs to make them feel like it, but it's plausible.
"Finally, I will think about it again and cover up the matter.
"Lest the blood cicada become a frightened cicada.
"That's a bit of a disadvantage for us."
"Hmm."
The eldest princess nodded:
"So what's going on?"
"Well, you can cast a wave first."
Jiang Ran thought for a while and said:
"However, there should be more important chips in the court, otherwise it will be difficult for these people to cover the sky with one hand.
"Wu Qianzhong is nothing but a blood-colored cicada wing.
"Even if you know some secrets, I'm afraid it's impossible to know them all.
Therefore, you need to take one step and see three steps to act, so as not to be taken by the other party.
"Of course, the affairs in the court will be left to the eldest princess to do.
"I'm just an outsider in this regard, and I don't have any advice other than that."
"Hongu understood."
The eldest princess nodded, and just as she was full, she stood up and prepared to go out to do something.
Jiang Ran took a few bites of rice here, casually and poetically, talking and laughing in the frost and snow.
Only occasionally raised his head and looked at Yan Wushuang's pale face, and sighed for a while.
After waiting for lunch to finish and rest, Jiang Ran found Yan Wushuang.
In the room, Yan Wushuang sat there in a daze.
Jiang Ran came in, but she didn't react.
It wasn't until Jiang Ran lifted the pot and poured tea that she said:
"Daddy was born tall, and every time I look up at him, I feel like he's a mountain.
"My mother likes to laugh...... The temper is also very good.
"No matter how much I lose my temper or how much I mess up, she doesn't get angry.
"Thinking of ways to make me happy.
"I never felt how happy I was when they were there.
"It wasn't until they died that we knew what I had ever had.
"They never thought that because I was a woman, I should have a husband and a child.
"My father passed on my martial arts and wanted me to make a difference in the rivers and lakes.
"My mother asked me about being a female celebrity, and when I saw that I didn't like it, I never mentioned it again.
"Grandpa single-handedly founded the Hundred Treasures Society, which accommodates all of us.
"After they leave, we will know the ideals and purpose of the Hundred Treasures Society.
"Take the wealth of the world for the benefit of all peoples.
"What is taken from the people is used by the people.
"Only in this way can the country be rich and the people strong.
"I have inherited this ideal, and I will see it more than anything else.
"What we do is based on the position of the Hundred Treasures Society.
"And over the years, the position of the Baizhen Society has actually been the position of the eldest grandson Wuji......
"It's ridiculous, I'm their daughter.
"But I never knew that I was always by the side of the thief.
"I still think that everything he does is also for the Baizhen Society!"
Saying this, she looked at Jiang Ran:
"Am I ridiculous, you say?"
"If you know all this and still make such a choice, you are ridiculous.
"But if you are deceived, what is so ridiculous?
"It's not yourself who should be hated or blamed.
"It's the people who deceive the gods and deceive the ghosts, hurt you, and whitewash themselves with the reason of 'I'm here for your good.'"
Jiang Ran pushed the teacup in front of Yan Wushuang:
"Feeling sorry for myself here now, I can't change anything.
"Koharuso, which left the country, is there.
"That's where all the tragedy comes from.
"The Hundred Treasures Club is right in front of you......
"You still have important things to do.
"Wait for you to do all this well, stabilize the Baizhen Society, regain power, and let the Baizhen Society continue to move forward according to the trajectory set by Ling's grandfather Lingzun.
"Then it's time to think about revenge."
Yan Wushuang took a deep breath:
"You're right...... It's ridiculous to say, when you're old, you can't see things as clearly and thoroughly. ”
"A handful of age?"
Jiang Ran glanced at her:
"Dare to ask Gui Geng?"
“…… Don't want to tell you. ”
Yan Wushuang said with a smile:
"Anyway, it's older than you, you just have to call your sister."
"I also helped you get some revenge, shouldn't you call me a gim?
"And let me call you sister? What is the principle of heaven? Where is the conscience? Where is justice? ”
"I won't mess with you."
Yan Wushuang glanced at Jiang Ran:
"When will I be able to get out of here?"
"Now is the time."
江然 says:
"Last night they attacked the Baizhen Building, and now the Baizhen Club is a ruined scene.
"The eldest grandson Wuji is missing...... It's time for you to take the reins of the election.
"Go back, Yan Huishou."
