After sending off Jin Ge, Jiang Ran returned to the palace and went straight to the imperial study.

Although I didn't go inside, when I stood outside, I had already heard all the conversations inside.

After that, he followed Hai Huaishen and the treasure house master all the way, and listened to their doubts about himself, and felt quite recognized.

"It's a pity, no matter what era it is, it's not so easy to do something."

He let out a soft breath, and his figure turned, disappearing above the eaves.

After a while, he was back in his room.

I opened the window and went in, and none of the three girls slept.

Sitting on the bed and chatting.

After Jiang Ran came back, the three pairs of eyes looked at him together.

Jiang Ran touched his face and took off the black towel on his face:

"See what I'm doing?"

"It's pretty."

Tang Huayi smiled:

"Who can take a good look at you."

“……”

Jiang Ran felt that this was a bit weird, but Tang Huayi basically didn't have to pay special attention to what he said.

He walked down to the table and poured himself a cup of tea.

"How's it going?"

Ye Jingshuang asked:

"Did you get the thing?"

"Hmm."

Jiang Ran nodded: "The things were obtained, and the people were sent away." I have some gifts for you, but I won't be able to bring them to you until tomorrow.

"By the way, I almost can't hide my identity.

"The Commander of the Imperial Guards and the Treasury are suspicious of me...... I wanted to rush in, but I was blocked by the eunuch at the door. ”

“…… Blocked back by the eunuch? ”

Several people looked at each other.

Jiang Ran said what he had just seen.

Ye Jingxue shook her head helplessly:

"This eunuch is powerless, and the two people you mentioned, if he raised his arm, he would die on the spot.

"But these two people are helpless."

"So, it's better to be in my Demon Sect, after you marry your brother-in-law, you are a member of my Demon Sect, and you naturally act without scruples, unlike them, who have so many shackles in their hearts.

"Something that can be pinched to death with one finger, and dare to shout in front of yourself."

Ye Jingxue nodded subconsciously, and suddenly reacted:

"What do you call you? When did I say I was going to marry him?

"Be careful when you speak, don't ruin my reputation!"

"Sooner or later, sooner or later."

Tang Huayi smiled and waved his hand.

Ye Jingxue still wanted to distinguish, but Ye Jingshuang said:

"Those two people, most of them won't give up."

"Hmm."

Jiang Ran nodded:

According to their guesses, the breakthrough is Princess Xiyue.

"I guess they'll want to give it a try...... I will directly touch Princess Xiyue to see if I can 'rescue' Princess Xiyue from my hands. ”

"It's really dangerous."

Ye Jingxue couldn't tell the difference:

"But Princess Xiyue, can we believe it?"

"It's not a big problem."

江然 says:

"Although Princess Xiyue is not very old, she should not be underestimated.

"The Son of Autumn Leaves dared to let her preside over the alliance, I didn't understand it at first, but now I understand it.

"She's not a little princess who doesn't know anything about the world, she's smart and clear, she'll make the right choice."

"But you can't be left without it."

唐画意 says:

"You are cautious and cautious, and you must have second-hand preparations, at least until the eldest princess meets the Qingdi, you definitely don't want to go wrong."

When she said this, she found Jiang Ran smiling at her.

Tang Huayi immediately couldn't laugh a little, and finally said angrily:

"Am I your second-hand preparation?"

"I'm not at ease when others go."

Jiang Ran smiled:

"You have demons in your body, you are really the best choice."

“…… You're tired silly boy, aren't you? ”

Tang Huayi was a little annoyed:

"Help you deal with Linglong Pavilion in the first half of the night, and help you deal with the Royal Forest Army in the second half of the night.

"Tomorrow morning, I have to drum with the Qingdi in front of the gong.

"When will I get a good night's sleep?"

"Why don't you sleep for a while before you go?"

"Then I'm going to sleep with you!!"

"Okay."

"Think beautifully."

After Tang Huayi snorted twice, he got out of bed with a sigh:

"Then I'll go, and I'll sleep with you when I get back."

When she said this, she suddenly glanced back at Ye Jingxue:

"Why don't you come with me?"

Ye Jingxue subconsciously wanted to nod, but she felt that something was wrong, and after looking at Ye Jingshuang, she suddenly realized:

"No!

"Then didn't my sister fall into the wolf's den?"

"Then you're in the way right here...... I'll go first. ”

Tang Huayi grinned: "Let you and your sister fall into the wolf's den together." ”

After saying that, he rushed out of the window.

Ye Jingshuang watched her leave, and said with some concern:

"She's alone, she'll be fine, right?"

“…… You should be worried about someone else, not her. ”

Jiang Ran shook his head:

"And I know everything that is going on around me...... There won't be a problem.

"Rest early......"

Ye Jingshuang heard him say this, and then he was relieved.

Pulled Ye Jingxue to sleep together.

Jiang Ran changed out of his night clothes and lay down against the side of the bed.

Hazy, half-asleep and half-awake, there was one more person in his arms.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn the next day.

Tang Huayi in her arms slept soundly, she came back when it was almost dawn, and she slept in Jiang Ran's arms, which would be a solid sleep.

Ye Jingshuang and Ye Jingxue also got up separately.

Seeing Tang Huayi sleeping, he couldn't bear to disturb him.

It was Ye Jingxue who pouted:

"This bed is pathetic...... Obviously, there are two people who sleep at most, but they squeeze four. ”

"You can sleep on the floor."

Jiang Ran reminded softly.

"Don't you think about it!"

Ye Jingxue snorted, as if she was possessed by Tang painting.

"Don't make noise......"

Tang Huayi opened his eyes a little impatiently, and then arched his head into Jiang Ran's arms:

"You're right, Princess Xiyue is indeed clear, those two people sneaked to find Princess Xiyue, with a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, I was quite moved when I looked at it.

As a result, Princess Xiyue directly called the guards and arrested the two trespassers in the dormitory.

"It's still the round I played......"

"You're still playing round?"

Ye Jingxue was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized:

"Have you cast a demon on them?"

Tang Huayi grinned and glanced at Jiang Ran:

"Since last night, the Guards have been following my orders.

"Brother-in-law, or let's rebel directly in Qingguo.

"After seeing Emperor Qing early this morning, I directly beheaded him, you ascended the throne as the emperor, unified the soldiers and horses, and then fought against the golden cicada.

"After that, it is good to wave the world and dominate the mountains and rivers?"

"You're big."

Jiang Ran glanced at Tang Huayi a little helplessly, and always felt that this girl wanted to pry herself to be the emperor for three days:

"The two of them are really bold, too."

"Bold ...... indeed"

Ye Jingshuang also nodded at this time:

"I never thought about what would happen if they guessed wrong?"

"Probably thought about it, right?"

Tang Huayi smiled:

"When they came, they were very tightly packed.

After waking up Princess Xiyue, I made sure that she didn't shout and scream, so I began to explain my intentions, and her behavior was very regular.

"It's a pity that Princess Xiyue pretended to be confused...... After hearing and making sure that it would not hurt her, she began to want to hurt them.

"That is, I showed up in time, otherwise, these two would probably have been in prison."

"The risk is not small, but the guess is correct. If it succeeds, it's a credit to the sky......"

Jiang Ran turned over:

"Alright, clean up, the hour should be about the same."

He was naturally referring to the fact that the Qing Emperor had summoned them to meet them.

In the end, the time when the eunuch came to announce the decree was exactly after the court meeting.

Princess Xiyue was dressed in costume and appeared surrounded by Ye Donglai and others.

Jiang Ran and the others followed behind Princess Xiyue.

Under the guidance of Gonggong De, he came to the 'Qingluan Palace' in Qingguo.

Waiting in the side hall, everyone sat down.

There are also eunuchs on the side who constantly instruct them not to forget the court etiquette, how to meet them when they go in, and how to kowtow, which are all exquisite.

Jiang Ran agreed with a smile, but he didn't pay attention to it.

Just as he was ignoring it, he saw two people walking together.

As soon as one of them saw Jiang Ran, he immediately laughed:

"Brother Jiang, I didn't expect to meet again, did you!?"

The eunuch who followed him hurriedly reminded:

"This lord, please be quiet, this is the Qingluan Palace, not the Jianghu Wine Shop."

“…… Troublesome. ”

The man who opened his mouth shook his head, came to Jiang Ran and sat down:

"Brother Jiang said that he would leave, and he didn't give people the slightest chance to say hello.

"What happened after I came back from Qi'an Town that day?"

After that, he whispered in Jiang Ran's ear:

"Why did a holy decree come out of the palace last night to let us enter the palace?"

The distance was too close, and the face towel with the word 'wood' written on his face was going to be pasted on Jiang Ran's face.

The people who came were Zhen Cheng and Chen Mu.

Jiang Ran helplessly stretched out his hand and pushed Zhen Cheng out:

"How do I know why Emperor Qing suddenly wants to see you......

"As for me...... Someone assassinated Princess Xiyue, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, it was natural to enter the palace as soon as possible. ”

"Someone wants to assassinate Princess Xiyue again?"

Chen Mu's face sank:

"Who's doing it this time?"

"I don't know if it's exactly, but one of the killers claims to be from Linglong Pavilion."

"Linglong Pavilion?"

Chen Mu frowned:

"Linglong Pavilion claims to do everything.

"As long as you have money, you can do whatever you want.

"These people are secretive, Xiao Sheng has long wanted to find them to eliminate evil in the rivers and lakes, but unfortunately there has been no clue......

"They, are they joining forces with the golden cicada?"

"I don't know."

Jiang Ran shook his head:

"But my guess is that it may not be a team.

"After all, if you take money to do things, as long as you give money, why join forces?"

Zhen Cheng's voice was low:

"Linglong Pavilion...... It doesn't matter if you do business, but you don't even have a concept of right and wrong, and your family and country are not in your heart at all, so you really deserve to be punished. ”

Jiang Ran asked:

"Emperor Qing sent a decree last night to let you enter the palace.

"You've seen him now?"

"Not ...... yet"

Zhen Cheng says:

"I've just arrived, too."

"Who else is coming?"

"Those people in Qi'an Town should have almost all come.

"But there are also a few who have a little problem, worried that the emperor is looking for them to enter the palace to liquidate, so they escaped from the imperial capital overnight, and I don't know where to go."

When Zhen Cheng said this, he glanced at Jiang Ran a little strangely:

"You haven't gone in yet? We came a little late, like the Xuyuan Master of the Great Fan Monastery, they should have already entered the palace to meet us. ”

Jiang Ran nodded slightly, and at this moment, the eunuch had already arrived at the door and shouted loudly:

"Xuan, Princess Qiuye Xiyue, and all the righteous people of the rivers and lakes have entered the palace to meet you!!"

Jiang Ran looked up, and Princess Xiyue had already gotten up.

Under the guidance of the eunuch, he went out.

Jiang Ran glanced at each other and followed behind Princess Xiyue.

I was already waiting in the side hall, and after walking two steps, I had already arrived at the front.

Turn into the main entrance of Qingluan Palace.

This place is also the place where the court meeting is on weekdays, a red carpet is paved all the way, and the two sides are occupied by the ministers, but this will be the heroes of the rivers and lakes.

At the top sat a person with a steady posture and a peaceful gaze looking into the field.

Jiang Ran just glanced at it, and two voices came from his ears.

One is a eunuch from around him:

"Let the righteous not lift up their heads before the king."

Looking up at the king, he intends to assassinate the king!

And the second voice is really a long time away...... Prompt tones from the system.

[Knife Catching Mission: Escort the eldest princess to the imperial capital of Qingguo! ] 】

[Mission Status: Completed!] 】

[Reward: 'Purple Gas Furnace', please be patient and ......]

Jiang Ran was stunned, what is this?

Could it be the furnace in this Qingluan Temple?

I'm picking one up now, is it considered that the reward has already been distributed?

Under the crazy hint of the eunuch, seeing that he was sweating on his forehead, Jiang Ran lowered his head slightly and sighed in his heart.

This knife catching mission is really a pit!

As he walked forward, he opened the system interface again and again, and after glancing at it, he remembered that this thing was also a lifespan reward.

The last time I did this knife quest, I was rewarded with a day of life.

I don't know how much I can give this time......

It's just that according to the urine nature of this task, it is estimated that it will not be able to give much.

Unexpectedly, he was stunned at this look.

I took a closer look and made sure I wasn't dazzled......

"Ten years, seven months and nine days!!"

He still remembered that when he was in the Golden Cicada Capital, he opened up the first Nine Deaths Vein.

The remaining life turned into ten years.

Later, outside the capital, he fought with the blood cicada, and he killed and won several of them.

He received these rewards one after another, and his lifespan soared to ten years, six months, and another thirteen days.

After that, I went to Qingguo after that, and there was no task to do along the way.

Especially after arriving in Qingguo, not only did he not have a task, but he almost became someone else's task.

It can be said that along the way, there is no harvest of grains.

It's just a waste of two or three months.

How did this get to this point, the remaining life expectancy did not decrease but increased.

What's going on with this extra thing?

Jiang Ran had the truth in his heart, and it took a day to save Mingyue's father at that time.

The Knife Capture mission then rewards a day of life.

This time, sending the eldest princess to Qingguo, strictly speaking, should have gained a lifespan of more than three months.

That's exactly how long he spent along the way.

"Could it be that the knife catching task does not give a reward for extra time, but it will make up for the time lost in the process of doing this task?"

Jiang Ran scratched his head:

If so...... Isn't there a bug in this that can be exploited?

"I don't need to do any other tasks when I go back, I just take a knife catching task and never complete it.

"Wait for your life to run out, then submit the task.

"Will you be able to get all the lives you have lost in the process?

"That'...... Am I not immortal? ”

Jiang Ran blinked, feeling that this matter was probably not so simple.

Although the system has no brains, it will never have such an obvious loophole for itself to exploit.

After this incident, there is a lot of thinking and research.

Thinking of this in his heart, with Princess Xiyue as the leader, they all saluted to the Green Emperor.

When Jiang Ran arrived at this time, he didn't kneel or salute, and the head that he had just lowered would be raised again.

Seeing this, the eunuch on the side hurriedly reminded:

"Righteous man, hurry up and kneel down and salute."

Jiang Ran smiled:

"Your Majesty, forgive me, it is reckless in the rivers and lakes, the prince of heaven and earth, but the word "king" is not in my heart.

"Therefore, if you don't kneel, you still hope for Your Majesty Haihan."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Qing didn't react, but the eunuchs around him were so frightened that their legs became weak, and they knelt directly on the ground:

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!!"

The Blue Emperor's gaze swept over everyone, and fell on Jiang Ran's body and nodded slightly:

"What's your name?"

"The grass people are flowing in the river."

"So you are Jiang Liu."

The Blue Emperor smiled:

"I heard that you escorted Princess Xiyue along the way, evaded pursuit, and personally sent her to the imperial capital.

"This credit is huge, if you don't kneel, you won't kneel."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity."

Jiang Ran hugged his fists.

I heard the Blue Emperor say again:

"However, since you can protect Princess Xiyue from that Jiang Ran's hands.

He escorted her all the way to me.

"It can be seen that you are strong in martial arts and have outstanding skills......

"Yesterday, three major events occurred in the imperial capital.

"First, in my embassy, there are people from the Demon Sect infiltrating it. After killing one of my generals and making a big fuss, he disappeared without a trace.

Second, Baifanglou was attacked by a group of thieves and suffered heavy casualties.

"Third, my treasury has been stolen, and the thieves are still at large without a trace.

"These three things make me anxious.

"That's why it's rumored that these knights on the rivers and lakes entered the palace to see me.

"I also explained the situation to them.

They all agreed that these three things were all done by the Demon Sect.

"But I don't know, what do you think?"

Jiang Ran looked at Master Xuyuan and the others in the field, and saw that these unruly Jianghu masters on weekdays were also quite cramped at this moment.

Just a smile:

"These three things are not the work of the Demon Sect."

"Oh?"

Emperor Qing looked at Jiang Ran:

"You are so conclusive, don't you have a plan for this?

"Let me hear it."

"Shouldn't Your Majesty know the truth better than the drafters?"

Jiang Ran positive Blue Emperor:

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, is it you who sent someone to assassinate Princess Xiyue?"

……

……

ps: The state has not been right in the past two days, so I will take a little rest for half a day today and take a slow time......
