Upstairs at Mochizuki, a person leans on the roof of the building, holding the long sword in his arms at will.

Raise a glass to invite the moon, as if you want to drink together.

"What's the fun of drinking alone?

"Why don't you have a drink together?"

The voice came from behind itself, and a smile appeared at the corner of Jian Wusheng's mouth:

"You're here."

Jiang Ran let go of the eldest princess's hand and smiled slightly:

"The sword hero invites me, how can I not come?"

Jian Wusheng looked back at Jiang Ran, and then glanced at the wine gourd on his waist:

"You've got wine."

"Isn't that just right?"

Jiang Ran untied the wine gourd, opened the lid, and the aroma of the wine suddenly escaped.

"Good wine."

Jian Wusheng laughed and gestured slightly.

Jiang Ran raised the wine gourd and saluted from afar.

The two of them drank at the same time, and at the end they couldn't help shouting:

"Happy!"

Then Jian Wusheng stood up and turned the night sword in his hand:

"Yu learned swords at the age of seven, and he has been successful in ten years, and in another ten years, there are few opponents in the rivers and lakes.

"Now that he is nearly half a hundred years old, he feels that it is difficult to find an opponent.

"In the backyard of the Shanhai Meeting tonight, I saw that Jiang Daxia's gestures were all majestic.

"I have even heard that the Nine Swords of Astonishing God are the world's first-class peerless sword techniques.

"That's when I took the liberty to ask for it, I wanted to use my own [Seven Swords of Immortality] to teach Jiang Daxia's [Amazing Nine Swords]!

"Please don't hesitate to give me advice!"

When Jiang Ran heard this, he was also in a trance for a while, and he lightly highlighted his tone, and said with a smile:

"I learned to knife at the age of six, and I didn't achieve anything for fourteen years.

"After a coincidence, once you get enlightenment, you can have this self-cultivation.

"The sword hero invited, and he didn't dare not come.

"But before that, I have one thing, I want to inquire with the sword hero, I wonder if the sword hero is willing to delay a little time?"

Jian Wusheng was stunned:

"Something to ask me? Well, you say! ”

Between the changes in his expression, he was already thoughtful.

Seeing Jiang Ran glance at the eldest princess, the eldest princess nodded slightly, and Jiang Ran said:

"In the past, when the sword hero first came out of the rivers and lakes, he once exterminated a cottage.

"I don't know if the sword hero has an impression?"

Jian Wusheng smiled dumbly:

"It's not a secret, what they said is right, I walk the rivers and lakes, often where I am interested, and where I go.

"On this way, if you encounter any robberies and evildoers, you will naturally be wiped out.

"So far, there are countless bandits killed in Yu's hands, and the cottages destroyed are less than 100, and there are 80.

"But I don't know which one you're asking?"

There are even more doubts in the words, this cottage will be destroyed when it is destroyed, and it is all some people who rob homes and houses, kill people.

Jiang Ran specifically inquired about this matter, could it be that the mountain bandits he killed back then had any kinship with Jiang Ran?

Now this is going to come to the door for revenge?

But if this is the case, he can speak bluntly in the backyard of the previous Shanhai Meeting.

Why wait until now?

And what was his intention when he glanced at the eldest princess?

Jian Wusheng has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, his mind is active, and he has thought of all kinds of possibilities in an instant.

But Rao is amazingly smart, and I am afraid that he will never imagine the depth of the entanglement.

Jiang Ran glanced at the eldest princess.

The eldest princess was a little entangled, and then said:

"Eighteen years have passed since the incident.

"The sword hero was also the first time he came out of the rivers and lakes, but he still remembered that there was a cottage back then...... It's called Black Wind Village. ”

“……”

Jiang Ran couldn't help but glance back at the eldest princess again.

The eldest princess immediately looked at Jiang Ran, and her gaze did not give in.

There's no way, it's called Black Wind Village...... What can she do?

She also knows that eight out of ten cottages are called Black Wind Village, but these bandits are uneducated, can they still blame her for not being able to do anything in the world?

Jian Wusheng couldn't help but laugh.

looked at Jiang Ran, but was a little puzzled:

"Black Wind Village...... Not to mention I don't remember...... Looking at Jiang Daxia's appearance, he doesn't even know the name of this cottage.

"I don't think it's here to seek revenge on me.

"But I don't know, where does this problem come from?"

Jiang Ran was slightly silent when he heard this, he stared at Jian Wusheng's eyes, and then smiled:

"This matter is very important. I can't tell the truth below, and I ask the sword hero to forgive me.

"It's just that when the sword hero exterminated this place, was it out of his own will, or was he provoked by others?

"That's ...... I'd love to know below.

"Because there is another major stake behind this matter......"

"The stakes are high, and they are ...... to be provoked"

Jian Wusheng's heart suddenly fluctuated slightly, and he said thoughtfully:

"Eighteen years ago...... Black Wind Village......

"What you said, is it the Black Wind Village that killed Zhou Zhixing, the county commander of Changguo County?"

The eldest princess's eyes lit up:

"Sword Hero remembers?"

Jian Wusheng didn't know what he was thinking, and his expression changed for a while.

I was about to say something, but I heard a voice from afar:

"Jiang Ran, help!!"

When everyone heard the sound and went to look, they saw that the old eunuch was carrying Shen Tulie on his back, his body was like flying, and he had already reached the building in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Ran ...... You...... Can you save Lie'er!? ”

The old eunuch looked at Jiang Ran, his eyes full of pleading.

Jiang Ran and Jian Wusheng looked at Shen Tulie behind him, and the two couldn't help but glance at each other, and immediately Jiang Ran stepped forward and asked:

"What's going on?"

While giving Shen Tulie a pulse.

Then he raised his eyebrows:

"Poisoned?"

"Can it be saved?"

The old eunuch looked at Jiang Ran with hope on his face.

Although Shen Tulie said that Jiang Ran is very famous in the rivers and lakes, maybe he has the ability to save his life.

But the key is the word 'maybe'.

If Jiang Ran doesn't speak, he will never be sure.

Jiang Ran smiled:

"Yes."

As soon as the old eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Jiang Ran say:

"But why should I save him?"

“……”

The old eunuch was speechless for a moment.

yes, why save?

Not long after, Shen Tulie was still there studying how to kill Jiang Ran while Jiang Ran was competing with Jian Wusheng.

Although Jiang Ran didn't know about this, the old eunuch knew.

Now that Jiang Ran is saving people, he is also weak in his heart.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and told the story of the incident.

Jiang Ran ...... If Lie'er dies, you are the most suspicious.

"Don't you care?"

Jiang Ran wondered:

"So what? Not to mention that it's just a suspicion...... Even if I really entered the Shanhai Society and killed Shen Tu Lie, who could do anything to me? ”

In a word, I can't ask the old eunuch directly.

He has never been out of the rivers and lakes, so naturally he has no experience in the rivers and lakes.

In the face of Jiang Ran's completely unreasonable statement, there is no way to deal with it.

I couldn't help but look up at Jian Wusheng.

But seeing that Jian Wusheng was full of thoughts, it seemed that he didn't take Shen Tulie's side to heart at all.

Seeing that there was no response to the call for help, the old eunuch looked directly at Jiang Ran:

"You...... How are you staying? ”

Jiang Ran touched his chin and said:

"Well, Shen Tulie is tightly tied to the Shanhai Society.

"There are three major forces in the capital, one is him, one is the Baizhen Society, and the other is the Dao Sect.

"The Taoist priests of the Taoist sect are often in the red dust, and their hearts are outside the red dust.

"It doesn't matter...... If Shen Tulie can promise me one thing, it may not be impossible for me to save him. ”

"What's the matter?"

The old eunuch felt that Jiang Ran was even more unreasonable:

"Lie'er is unconscious now, how can I promise you anything?"

"It's very simple, you're his master, can you just agree?"

Jiang Ran smiled:

"As the so-called master's order is difficult to disobey, he still dares to be disobedient and unfilial?"

The old eunuch pondered for a moment, and this was reasonable.

But he was worried that his request was too much, and it would be difficult for him to explain it to his disciples when he turned around.

He asked:

"And what do you want?"

"Your apprentice has a Mountain and Sea Society, and my apprentice has a Blood Knife Hall.

"Mountains and seas will occupy the capital, and the people are outstanding.

"The Blood Knife Hall is in a safe corner, and it is barren.

"In this case, please ask your apprentice to help my apprentice, so that my apprentice can also have a foothold in this capital.

"I wonder what you think?"

Jiang Ran looked at the old eunuch.

The eldest princess rolled her eyes, feeling that Jiang Ran had done everything to help Xuanyuan expand her territory.

You can take advantage of every opportunity you can.

The old eunuch was a little confused:

"Your apprentice, is he so miserable? How so? ”

Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment, feeling that the old eunuch's focus seemed to be a little different.

Moreover, although he said that he was in a barren ...... It's just gibberish, but how does he seem to believe it?

I saw the old eunuch nodding deeply:

"It's a great grace for you to save his life, this little thing, even if there is no such life-saving grace, he has absolutely no reason to refuse, you can rest assured that this matter is wrapped up in me."

Seeing the old eunuch patting his chest, he promised.

Jiang Ran nodded:

"That'...... A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase. ”

"It's nature."

The old eunuch immediately replied in the affirmative.

This made Jiang Ran feel a little guilty in his heart.

It feels as if you're cheating on honest people......

I was going to say something, but I couldn't say it for a while.

He took out the pill from his bosom and wanted to stuff it into Shen Tu Lie, but he heard Jian Wusheng say:

"Jiang Daxia, tonight's battle is only afraid that it will be postponed.

"I suddenly thought that there was something important to do, so I took my leave."

Jiang Ran looked up at him:

"Huh?"

Without waiting to say anything, Jian Wusheng had already flown up, and a few ups and downs had already disappeared.

Jiang Ran immediately gave the eldest princess a look.

The eldest princess immediately nodded and jumped down from the Moon Tower, while Jiang Ran took care of herself and stuffed the pill into Shen Tulie's mouth.

I checked the meridians again and shook my head slightly:

"It's a little late."

“……”

The old eunuch's face changed suddenly:

"This ...... How good is that? Why, why is it too late? Didn't you say you could save it? ”

"Absolutely."

Jiang Ran smiled:

"But the time to save will be a bit long, and depending on the situation, there may be some sequelae.

"Hmm...... All in all, his life will definitely be saved.

"You come with me first."

Jiang Ran turned around as he said and went down to the Moon Tower.

The old eunuch hurriedly carried Shen Tulie on his back and followed closely.

When I got to the street, I saw the eldest princess turn around, and someone flew away behind her.

"Explained?"

Jiang Ran spoke.

The eldest princess nodded slightly:

"It's already being followed...... He must have thought of something, but he didn't seem to be going to tell us. ”

"It doesn't matter."

Jiang Ran looked in the direction of Jian Wusheng's departure, thoughtfully:

"With him, this reaction is done.

"What happened back then was really not a coincidence.

"However, the last person who hid and wanted to investigate by himself seems to have died quite miserably."

"Who?"

The eldest princess was a little curious.

"A friend with a boxy face, but he likes to wear plain white."

Jiang Ran shook his head, he was talking about Cheng Jimo.

A chance encounter in a tea shop outside Cangzhou Mansion.

Because he found out that the situation of the Wan family was wrong, he went to investigate, and finally died in the hands of Li Feiyun and them.

The eldest princess felt that Jiang Ran's words were unreasonable:

"Square face, why can't you like to wear plain white?"

“……”

Jiang Ran thought for a moment and found that he couldn't refute it.

The old eunuch was so anxious that he was about to shed tears:

"When are you going to talk about it, and can you save people?"

"Help, help, help."

江然 says:

"Let's go, come back to the princess's mansion with us first."

The group of three plus an unconscious Shen Tulie headed towards the princess's mansion.

Not long after they left, there was suddenly an old Taoist priest on the upper floor of Mochizuki.

He put his hands on the pergola, looked up at the moon, and looked around, a pair of old eyes full of confusion:

"That's not right...... Poor road night stargazing, is here the sword intent soaring to the sky.

"It's so lively, why did it suddenly disappear out of thin air?

"How unreasonable is that!"

After looking for a few more laps, he still found nothing, so he shook his head helplessly and left.

……

……

In the princess's mansion, in a room in the bamboo garden.

Shen Tu Lie's face was covered with black gas, and he was unconscious as if he was dead.

Jiang Ran bent his fingers and nodded on him one after another, and after a while, the black qi suddenly faded.

And Jiang Ran also stopped at the right time, and glanced back at the old eunuch:

"That's all for today.

"Others, wait until tomorrow, the poisonous gas in his body has already gone a lot, but you can't rush it."

The old eunuch was very grateful to Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran said that he didn't have to, but smiled again:

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked you what your name is?

"You can't call you an old eunuch every day, can you?"

The corners of the old eunuch's mouth twitched, and he felt that Jiang Ran's words were extremely hateful.

But for Jiang Ran's sake of 'ignoring his previous suspicions' to help Shen Tulie, he still replied:

"Before entering the palace, his name was Xu Mu, and now that he has left the palace, let's use this name."

"Xu Mu ......"

Jiang Ran nodded:

"Good name, that's it, I won't bother you, you are here to take care of him.

"I'll come back tomorrow to treat him."

"Thank you."

Xu Mu bowed and sent Jiang Ran out of the door.

And in this courtyard, in addition to Xu Mu and Shen Tulie, it is the residence of Luo Qingyi, Li Tianyu and others.

At this time, they were all standing in front of the door.

Jiang Ran's gaze swept over everyone, and finally fell on Wu Di's body, and then nodded slightly.

Wu Di immediately responded, and finally turned around and went back to the room.

Li Tianyu and Luo Qingyi also didn't say anything, and went back to their respective homes.

Jiang Ran walked all the way out of the bamboo garden and went straight to Jianming Tower.

In the eldest princess's bedroom, Jiang Ran pushed the door and entered.

The eldest princess Shan Yucian seemed to be startled, and when she looked up and saw Jiang Ran, she glared at him fiercely:

"If this palace is bathing and changing clothes, what kind of body are you so reckless?"

"Isn't that just right?"

Jiang Ran glanced at the eldest princess with a smile.

The eldest princess's face suddenly turned red and she snorted lightly.

I feel that since Jiang Ran came to the capital and arrived at the princess's mansion, his true nature has become more and more exposed.

In the past, these words should have been said by himself, and Jiang Ran should be the pitiful little one whose face was red when he was teased.

Why is it that the situation has suddenly reversed?

Immediately after, I heard Jiang Ran ask:

"Is there any news coming back?"

"Yes."

The eldest princess immediately looked at Jiang Ran:

"Jian Wusheng has not left the capital, and he is still acting in the capital."

"In this way, the key role is in this capital."

Jiang Ran gently pinched his eyebrows.

The eldest princess glanced at him:

"Do you think that under the current situation, Jian Wusheng still needs to continue to follow this clue?"

"Why not?"

Jiang Ran glanced at her and shook his head slightly:

"Since there is an existence like a blood cicada on the other side, no clue can be missed.

"You can't be sure which clue will break......

Or maybe all the clues were traced to the same person at the end.

"If it's a single one, I'm afraid it's hard to sit down. It is necessary to investigate multiple parties to ensure that there is no error. ”

The eldest princess nodded:

"You're right...... It's just that for some reason, seeing the way you pinched your eyebrows, it made Bengong feel a little distressed.

"Ever since you came to the capital, you've been moving from one side to another.

"It seems that except for the first day, I haven't had a good rest......

"Isn't this all thanks to the eldest princess?"

Jiang Ran almost laughed angrily, and stretched out his hand to flick the center of the eldest princess's eyebrows:

"Don't forget, you and your royal brother are also among these parties......"

The eldest princess rubbed her eyebrows:

"You dare to attack this palace, this is a crime!"

"The prince has been beaten like that by me, do I still care about you as an eldest princess?"

Jiang Ran didn't seem to feel good after playing it, and pinched her nose again.

The eldest princess's cheeks were bulging, and she felt that she felt sorry for this person purely superfluous.

Just when the eldest princess was beating and changing her past, Jiang Ran suddenly raised her head, and after a while, she heard a voice outside the window:

"There is something to be paid for your humble duties."

"Say."

The eldest princess looked out the window.

Then the man said in a deep voice:

"The fact that his subordinates are secretly following Jian Wusheng has been discovered by him.

"He hurt a few of us.

Then the word was spoken...... Don't follow behind you anymore, otherwise, you will definitely no longer show mercy. ”

"Where's the final location?"

"Wangfu Street."

"This palace knows, let's go down."

The eldest princess spoke softly.

The man outside the window agreed, and the eldest princess looked at Jiang Ran:

"That's to be expected."

"Wangfu Street ......"

Jiang Ran's expression was a little strange:

"Is it a coincidence, or is it really related?"

"What you're trying to say...... Brother of the Three Emperors? ”

The eldest princess instantly realized.

At the beginning, Wangfu Street was not called by this name, and later the princes set up mansions outside, but for some reason they loved this piece of the place, so that there were more and more palaces.

Naturally, the name Wangfu Street was born.

And now when it comes to Wangfu Street, the first thing that comes to mind is ...... It was the martial prince of the year.
