"After all, it is worthy of being the capital of Qingguo, and the prosperity is far from being comparable."

Ye Jingxue looked at the people coming and going in front of her, and the lively imperial capital sighed softly.

Jiang Ran smiled when he heard this, his eyes swept over the pedestrians coming and going on the street one by one, and his eyes narrowed slightly:

"The war began, the people were displaced, and although there was a prosperous scene in the imperial capital, there was a lot of worry on their faces.

"Moreover, there are too many people on the streets?"

Hearing Jiang Ran say this, Chen Mu nodded:

"The urgency of the war is not optimistic.

"All the way you have traveled, you have walked in secluded places in the mountains.

"I don't know that there are already many displaced people rushing to the imperial capital.

"The number of refugees is huge, and after the golden cicada thieves occupied the city, they did not slaughter the city.

But after cutting off one of the young people among the original people, they all drove them in the direction of the imperial capital.

"It's a very vicious ploy."

Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly realized.

In the inherent thought, after occupying the city, the people are naturally one of the important resources.

In this day and age, population is productivity.

The importance is self-evident.

The slaughter of the city is often not because the generals are really vicious, and they will feel uneasy to sleep and eat if they don't kill people for a day.

There are many real reasons, such as looting supplies, feeding war with war, and so on......

But in general, very few people will drive people out.

After all, when a young man wears armor and throws a spear on the battlefield, he is a soldier.

Driving the people away is very likely to expose you to more opponents in the near future.

However, the one who is now attacking the city and conquering the city, before releasing people, he also cut off the young man's hand.

When a young man wears armor and a weapon, he is a soldier, but what if this young man loses a hand?

In this day and age, such injuries are fatal enough.

But if you want to talk about death, they are not dead, the people who are still alive are still their own families, how can these old and young women and children in the family cruelly abandon them?

If you take it, not to mention slowing down the process, many people will have a high fever caused by their injuries, and end up dying alive on the road.

Even if you meet the soldiers of your own country and come to the nearby city.

Looking at such a group of old and young women and children, as well as young and strong people without their palms, what can they get except wasting food?

Save...... Not to mention that nothing will be found, and the grain stored in the city will be wasted.

The three armies have not yet arrived in grain and grass first!

One can imagine how important this thing is in the war.

And in the city in the midst of war, the people of the city may not be able to eat enough, how can they waste food to save these useless people?

Can it be saved...... What has been lost is the hearts of the people.

Whenever the news spreads to the territory of Qingguo, it is certainly one thing for the golden cicada people to act viciously, but it will inevitably make people feel sad after all.

And that's just one of them.

Since ancient times, refugees have been the most likely group of people to cause riots.

People who are hungry and clothed, who wander between life and death, will burst out with unimaginable power if they let go of their worries.

The country will not accept it, and the enemy country will drive it away, and there will be no place between heaven and earth.

It is almost impossible to imagine what these refugees will do in the end.

Chen Mu said that this plan is very poisonous, and it should be here.

Jiang Ran was stunned after he was stunned:

"Could it be that in the battle between Qingguo and Jin Cicada, Qingguo will not be defeated on all fronts?"

"Even if it doesn't hit, it's not far away."

Chen Mu shook his head:

"This time the golden cicada march, Guan Changqing used soldiers like a god, and what he did was really difficult to resist.

"If there is no help from Akiba, I'm afraid it's really a matter of life and death.

"Therefore, now that I am walking near the imperial capital, I am not only thinking about whether Jiang Ran will bring the eldest princess to the imperial capital, but also if there is a chance, I can take them down.

"The most important thing is that once you get the Golden Cicada Eldest Princess.

"There will be a chance to negotiate with Jin Cicada."

The eldest princess shook her head again and again:

"If the Golden Cicada Heavenly Son really uses the eldest princess to divert your attention, then even if he catches her, what's the use?

"It's nothing more than an outcast."

Chen Mu sighed:

"As the saying goes, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, and that's nothing more than that.

"If it doesn't work, we Jianghu people can only unite as one and go to the national disaster together!"

While speaking, the group had already arrived at an inn.

The inn was found by Chen Mu and said that it was a time-honored brand.

Jiang Ran's gang was so powerful that ordinary rooms were naturally not good, so they built a few courtyards in the back.

After everyone moved in, Jiang Ran packed up his things and asked Luo Qingyi to inquire about the news outside.

As a result, the things were confiscated, and Luo Qingyi came back in a hurry.

looked at Jiang Ran, and stopped talking for a while.

Jiang Ran glanced at him in confusion:

"What's wrong?"

“……”

Luo Qingyi was silent, and finally scratched his head and said:

"There's a piece of news, I don't know if I should say it......

"If there is news, say it, if there is no news, don't say it, what is the meaning of whether it should be said or not?"

Jiang Ran smiled:

"Got concerns about me?"

“…… Tsing Yi didn't dare. ”

"Don't dare, not no."

Jiang Ran smiled:

"It seems that Guo Chong is really different to you.

"Staying with me for so long doesn't make you trust me completely."

"Childe!?"

Luo Qingyi was stunned and looked at Jiang Ran in amazement.

Jiang Ran smiled:

"You don't think I don't know, do you?

"Guo Chong asked you to follow me, it should be because the Tang family in Cangzhou Mansion went to the empty building overnight.

"So he's suspicious of me, right?"

In fact, since Jiang Ran used Tang Shiqing's martial arts that night to deal with those killers who pretended to be Jiang Ran and others, Jiang Ran knew that Luo Qingyi had been by his side for so long, and he was finally sure that Guo Chong's suspicions at that time were right.

It's just that he didn't say it all this time.

Jiang Ran didn't bother to say.

Seeing that he was hesitant today, I simply helped him make up his mind.

Luo Qingyi's face really changed greatly, and finally sighed deeply, and fell to the ground with a plop:

"It's Tsing Yi who can't live with the son."

"It's weird."

Jiang Ran looked at him with tears and laughter:

"Did you do something sorry for me?"

"No, no!"

Luo Qingyi shook his head again and again: "I didn't even tell Guo Chong about your relationship with the Demon Sect."

"As soon as we were in Qingguo, the news could not be transmitted.

"Second...... I've been hesitating whether to say it or not......

"The son treats me like a mountain, if it weren't for the son, the blood revenge would be difficult to revenge.

"And after following Childe for so long, Childe has always treated me well.

"Even the treasure of the rivers and lakes such as the Twelve Days Skillful Star Picking Hand is also given casually.

"This kindness, even if Tsing Yi repays it with his life, it can't be finished.

"What's more, along the way, watching Childe act as a person, although it is not above board, nor is it benevolent......

"But...... After all, he did not lose his chivalrous heart.

"For the sake of the golden cicada, I also went to the soup ...... fire"

"Alright, alright."

Jiang Ran waved his hand, looked at him clumsy, and tried his best to say the four-character idiom he knew, so he had to say:

"If you haven't been sorry for me, why do you want to say sorry for me?"

“…… Tsing Yi hid from his son and did not explain the friendship between Guo Chong and me. ”

"I've known about this for a long time."

Jiang Ran smiled:

"I still remember that after the incident of Wanjia, I once went to Guo Chong to ask for my reward.

"You were standing behind the screen at the time, don't you think I didn't even notice this?"

“…… Yes? ”

Luo Qingyi was stunned and looked at Jiang Ran:

"Childe already knew it at that time......

"This ...... Why does that boy still allow me to follow you? ”

"It's a long story."

Jiang Ran scratched his head:

"From the beginning, it seems a bit of a problem.

"To put it simply, I was ashamed at the time.

"Believe it or not, I really didn't think I had anything to do with the Demon Cult.

So, although I don't know what Guo Chong's original purpose was.

"But he must have asked you to follow me because he was suspicious of me.

"And what I do, I can't say anything to people.

"Naturally, I don't mind if you follow me and act as a free thug and chef."

“……”

Luo Qingyi's face was full of astonishment:

"That'...... Did I see it wrong that night? ”

"Nope."

Jiang Ran shook his head:

"What I used that day was indeed the martial arts of the Demon Sect.

"And he is a genius of the Demon Sect once in a thousand years, and he has cultivated a unique martial arts, and his name is [Heart Demon Nirvana Great Law]!"

"Childe...... The Demon Sect's martial arts are treacherous, no matter how powerful they are, please don't practice them easily.

"The lessons of the Qiu clan are not far away...... You can't be fooled. ”

When Luo Qingyi heard this, his voice was full of eagerness.

Jiang Ran smiled, thought for a while, and sighed:

"So it's a long story.

"Tsing Yi, you've been with me for a long time.

"There are some things I don't hide from you...... Today's words have come to this, and I will open my words, and then I will leave you as you please, and I will never force you or kill you.

"Actually, my true identity is that of the Demon Sect.

"The son of the Demon Sect in the past."

As soon as these words came out, Luo Qingyi suddenly had the urge to turn around and run.

This is definitely a secret in the world!

The son who has been following in front of him has changed from a hero to a young master of the Demon Sect.

Is this too big a change?

Although Luo Qingyi saw the martial arts used by Jiang Ran that night, it should have nothing to do with the Demon Sect.

But I only thought it was the time in Cangzhou Mansion that involved Jiang Ran and the Demon Sect.

Then he made a mistake in one step, and then he fell into the demonic path.

Fortunately, Childe is still decent and decent, so he is full of hesitation and doesn't know what to do.

The results are now ...... What's this?

Demon Sect Youth?

The Demon Venerable of the future?

When did you get mixed up with such a big man?

Seeing Luo Qingyi's face collapse, Jiang Ran immediately comforted softly:

"It's okay, it's okay, Tsing Yi is not afraid.

"Actually, to be honest, when I heard the news, although there was no expression on my face, my mood was similar to your expression now.

"An ordinary person who has been an ordinary person for twenty years, or a dying person for twenty years.

Suddenly I found that I had a big background.

"Anyone would find it incredible.

"And when I knew about it, I didn't know much earlier than you......

"Well, I really knew it when I was in Jinyang Mansion."

“…… What the hell is going on? ”

Luo Qingyi looked at Jiang Ran:

"Childe...... I, I'm in a mess right now...... That's what you told me?

"If it were me, if I told the eldest princess about this, what would you do?"

"Tell me."

Jiang Ran smiled dumbly, and just as he was saying this, he suddenly heard the footsteps of the eldest princess outside the door.

It didn't sound like he was looking for him, but he didn't care, and with a wave of his hand, the door opened.

Immediately after the eldest princess, she felt a suction force coming, and the whole person involuntarily rushed towards Jiang Ran's room.

Then Jiang Ran shook his hand again, and the door suddenly closed.

The eldest princess looked at Jiang Ran with a confused expression:

"What? Suddenly a thief? ”

Looking back, he found that Luo Qingyi was still kneeling on the ground, and he was even more confused:

"What's wrong with him?"

"I'm the Demon Sect Junior Venerable."

Jiang Ran said.

“…… Neurotic, huh? ”

The eldest princess rolled her eyes.

Luo Qingyi suddenly sighed in his heart, sure enough, no one believed it to be honest.

Childe said this, and the eldest princess would only take it as a joke.

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, he really didn't know, if the eldest princess knew Jiang Ran's true identity, what should she do?

Did Jiang Ran kill them and kill them, or was he restrained by Jiang Ran using demonic methods? From now on, can't help yourself?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the eldest princess say:

"You are the Young Venerable of the Demon Sect, didn't this palace already know about it?

"The blood cicada told this palace, and this palace just went to find you.

"You have admitted it outside the capital, and my imperial brother knows your identity...... This will suddenly say...... Oh......"

Speaking of which, the eldest princess reacted and looked at Luo Qingyi:

"You don't know?"

“……”

Luo Qingyi's mouth was so big that he could almost swallow his head.

"Saliva, saliva!"

The eldest princess hurriedly reminded.

Luo Qingyi quickly closed his mouth:

"You...... Did you know?

"It's not just you know, it's ...... Even the Holy One knows? ”

"Yes."

The eldest princess pulled her fingers and said:

"It's not just Brother Huang, let me see, there was Yan Wushuang of the Baizhen Society at that time, right?

"Of course, this person knows that it doesn't matter.

"After all, she has a problem with her relationship with you.

"That night, you two suddenly disappeared together, don't think I don't know.

"Also, Shen Tulie of the Mountain and Sea Society was also present, listening to you personally admit that you are the Young Venerable of the Demon Sect.

"Who else? By the way, the Tao of the Dao Sect lacks real people.

"Be a national teacher.

"And a sword without a sword, a sword without a sword, a sword without a sword......

"These people know, but you haven't said it yet? I thought he knew. ”

Jiang Ran rolled his eyes:

"I can't go around looking for people to say that I'm the Demon Sect Young Venerable, isn't this sick?"

"It's ...... too"

The eldest princess nodded:

"Alright, why did you pull me over just for this? Hongu thought you suddenly wanted to open it......

"It's boring, this palace is going to find Chu Yunniang."

"Huh?"

Jiang Ran was stunned:

"What are you looking for her?"

"The descendants of Chu Nanfeng!"

The eldest princess's eyes shone brightly:

"This is not an ordinary person, although you have restrained the martial arts, but if she can guide me in swordsmanship, maybe she will be able to capture you."

“…… Then why don't you want to think about how she was captured by me? ”

Jiang Ran asked with a dark face.

“……”

The eldest princess thought for a moment, and then said:

"It's not important, the stone of its mountain can attack the jade, let alone the jade of its mountain?

"However, I always feel that this Chu Yunniang doesn't seem to care much about your identity as a Demon Sect Junior Venerable......

"Chu Yunniang knows?"

Luo Qingyi's eyes widened suddenly.

I've been co-authoring for a long time, but I don't know?

It's like I thought I had discovered a big secret.

No wonder after that night, no one questioned Jiang Ran's martial arts.

Originally...... You know it all!

Moreover, Chu Yunniang turned out to be Chu Nanfeng's descendant?

Who is Chu Nanfeng?

The first person in the world a hundred years ago!

What kind of mastery is the Nanfeng Tibetan Sword Style?

Such a person was actually arrested by Jiang Ran and became a maid?

He also thought that Chu Yunniang was rescued by Jiang Ran, and he could only be a cow and a horse without retribution, and it was not like this at all after a long time.

And this time, the eldest princess couldn't look at it, and said to Jiang Ran:

"It's too much, you know it, so you don't tell anyone?"

"I wanted him to find out for himself, and I'll tell him again...... Didn't he just find a clue, and I dragged it out?

"He was ordered by Guo Chong to investigate my details.

Guo Chong, on the other hand, obeyed Wu Weihou's orders.

"Wu Weihou obeyed the emperor's orders again...... This counts back and forth, and it seems that they are all their own people? ”

Jiang Ran looked at the eldest princess.

The eldest princess was slightly silent, then nodded, and said to Luo Qingyi:

"According to this statement, you are actually serving the royal brother of this palace.

"But the imperial brother has known about this for a long time, so you don't need to care.

"Okay, you talk, I'll see if I can deceive Chu Yunniang's Nanfeng Tibetan Sword Style."

“……”

Watching the eldest princess leave in a hurry, Luo Qingyi still felt that her brain was buzzing.

What is this?

Isn't it a toss for nothing?

After looking at Jiang Ran, he sighed:

"I see......"

"Well, that's pretty much it."

江然 says:

"Are you going or staying? It's time to make a decision. ”

Luo Qingyi couldn't cry or laugh:

"If Childe is willing to take him in, Tsing Yi naturally wants to stay by Childe's side......

"I just don't know if Childe is still willing to let Tsing Yi serve you?"

"Naturally."

Jiang Ran smiled:

"It's a little thing, you don't have to worry about it.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what news did you find out about what you were so confused about?

"I guess it has something to do with the Demon Sect?"

"Exactly."

Luo Qingyi felt that his mood seemed to be difficult to clean up for a while, but this moment was not the time to dwell on this matter.

Then he hurriedly said:

"It seems that the people of the Demon Sect have arrived in the capital, and I heard that they are going to gather in the capital.

"Many righteous path masters are waiting here, wanting to take advantage of their gathering day to ...... them Clean sweep! ”
