Chapter 347 Blood Cicada

  “Although Ren Chaosheng is young, he also knows how to be patient.

  "Are you really going to let him return to the Iron Cavalry League, so you won't worry about raising a tiger?"

  Walking back all the way, Tang Huayi couldn't help but look at Jiang Ran.

  Tang Shiqing just smiled and said nothing.

  Ye Jingshuang said softly:

  "Brother Jiang is true to his word, and he will naturally not regret what he says."

  Li Tianxin glanced at Ye Jingshuang with a half-smile:
  "In your eyes, your Brother Jiang is naturally good at everything."

  Ye Jingshuang blinked:

  "That's natural."

  Tang Shiqing glanced at Ye Jingshuang with a smile and nodded:

  "I thought so too."

  Ye Jingshuang was stunned, looked at Tang Shiqing, and then at Jiang Ran, thoughtfully.

  Tang Huayi curled his lips and asked Jiang Ran:

  "Does your head hurt?"

  "I feel dizzy."

  Jiang Ran rolled his eyes:
  "As for what you said...I'm not particularly worried.

  "Raising tigers is a serious problem, but if you only raise a kitten, even if it shows its teeth and claws, so what?"

  "This is not like your character. You have always been cautious and would not look down on others like this."

  Tang Hua Yi is thoughtful:
  "unless……"

  "Unless what?"

  Ye Jingshuang asked.

  Tang Huayi shook his head:

  "It's nothing."

  Ye Jingshuang saw that this was not the truth, but did not continue to ask.

  What she wants to know more now is what kind of relationship this girl wearing white clothes with her face covered has with Jiang Ran.

  Since she and Ye Jingxue went to find the eldest princess last night, this girl has been there all the time.

  It's just that she doesn't want to talk to Li Tianxin. Every now and then she speaks to Li Tianxin.

  The two of them were so close that Ye Jingshuang thought there was some connection between her and Li Tianxin at first.

  After all, although Li Tianxin is not good-looking, his peach blossoms seem to be quite prosperous.

  I still remember that there was a girl outside Cangzhou Mansion who kept pestering him... In the end, he didn't know what to do, so he actually asked the girl to retreat.

  Now another girl is attracted to him, which is quite ordinary.

  But later it was discovered that something seemed wrong, especially since Jiang Ran appeared, the girl had never taken her eyes away from Jiang Ran.

  However, although she took this matter seriously, she didn't attach much importance to it. She just wanted to wait for Jiang Ran to give her an answer.

  If there are words, they will be long and if there are no words, they will be short. The group unfolded their movements and walked for about twenty miles before arriving at a town.

  This town is not big, with only one inn.

  The inn is not big either. Apart from the two-story building of the inn, there is only one courtyard in the backyard.

  This yard was taken over by Jiang Ran.

  Everyone entered the yard, the carriage was leaning aside, and the horses were already tied in the stables and feasting.

  Tian Miaomiao was squatting beside the stable, watching the horses eating grass, and she was particularly fascinated.

  Her mouth moved, as if she was imitating a horse to chew.

  Finally, I rubbed my chin, feeling that this action probably wasn't suitable for me.

  Seeing this, Jiang Ran said to her:
  "Did you know that horses also like wine?"

  "what?"

  Tian Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, and then she realized:

  "Sir, are you back?"

  Jiang Ran nodded, and Tian Miaomiao quickly asked:
  "The horse still drinks? Will he get drunk?"

  "meeting."

  Jiang Ran nodded: "But he should have a lot of alcohol..."

  “Then you are the bigger drinker, or is Ma the bigger drinker?”

  After Tian Miaomiao asked, she muttered without waiting for Jiang Ran's answer:

  "It must be because the horse has a large capacity for drinking... After all, the horse grows bigger, and the bigger it gets, the bigger its belly is, and the more wine it can hold!
  "Although the young master drinks a lot, his belly is not as big as that of a horse... No matter how much he drinks, he can't hold so much..."

  She turned around nonchalantly, not knowing what to do.

  Jiang Ran blinked twice and glanced at Tang Huayi:
  "Did I say the wrong thing just now?"

  "Have it?"

  "I hope I'm overthinking..."

  Jiang Ran shook his head and led everyone to the door. Before knocking, the door was opened.

  It was Chu Yunniang who opened the door.

  In addition to the eldest princess, there were also Shan Cong and Madam Wu sitting in the room.

  Wu Di is next door to them.

  After seeing Jiang Ran, the eldest princess took a focused look at the various girls around Jiang Ran and chuckled:
  "Dr. Jiang is finally back?

  "Where is Ren Guanlan?"

  "During the day, I was just talking about Little Jiang, and now I am Daxia Jiang?"

  Jiang Ran glanced at the eldest princess with a half-smile, and then winked at Luo Qingyi.

  Luo Qingyi arrived and threw Ren Guanlan's body down.

  "died……"

  The eldest princess glanced at it, then frowned:

  "A dead person is not worth a thousand taels of gold."

  "Choosing and choosing..."

  Jiang Ran rolled his eyes:
  "You go out first."

  The poetry of the Tang Dynasty and the painting of the Tang Dynasty, Ye Jingshuang, Ye Jingxue, Luo Qingyi and Li Tianyu all nodded and turned to go out.

  Chu Yunniang also quickly walked out.

  Only Shan Cong was left, pointing to his nose:

  "Should I go out too?"

  Jiang Ran didn't speak, but glanced at the eldest princess, who said coldly:
  "Go to sleep."

  Shan Cong curled his lips:

  "Then sister-in-law, you should go to bed early..."

  With that said, he and Mrs. Wu walked out of the door.

  Jiang Ran, the eldest princess, and Ren Guanlan were all left in the room.

  The eldest princess glanced at Jiang Ran:
  "A single man and a widower... If you do this, you won't be afraid that your confidante will be jealous."

  "Where are the lonely men and widows?"

  Jiang Ran came to Ren Guanlan's body, stretched out his hand to weigh him gently, and then pointed at his heart.

  Ren Guanlan, who was originally lifeless, suddenly started to tremble.

  He suddenly turned over and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

  Then there was the sound of extremely violent breathing, and he took a dozen breaths before barely calming down.

  He looked at Jiang Ran and then at the eldest princess:
  "Where is this? Am I dead?"

  "Is this all right?"

  The eldest princess looked at Jiang Ran in surprise:
  "How did you do it?"

  "Eldest Princess, do you know that I have two magical skills, one is called the Great Brahma Crossing the World Finger, and the other is called the Xiaguang Finger.

  "I killed Ren Guanlan, using the Xiaguang Finger, but I also used the Great Brahma Cross-World Finger to protect his heart, leaving him with a glimmer of hope.

  "In this way, even if you help Alliance Leader Ren complete a golden cicada's escape...

  "It's just that his heart is still damaged, and it can't be recovered in a day or two."

  The eldest princess was stunned for a while while Ren Guanlan was in a daze:
  "So, you've already predicted that I can't go with you?"

  "If your death can make you feel at ease, then what's wrong with Jiang's success?"

  Jiang Ran stood up and sat down on his own, pouring himself a cup of tea:

  "Your body will be buried tomorrow...

  “In other words, you are a dead person from now on.

  "Leader Ren, have you ever thought about how you will live as a dead man from now on?"

  Ren Guanlan was silent for a while, then knelt on one knee in front of Jiang Ran:

  "Thank you, Master Jiang, for using this trick to change the situation. Otherwise, the lives of my entire family would have been at risk.

  "There is really nothing Ren Guanlan can do to repay this great kindness."

  "wrong."

  Jiang Ran spoke slowly:
  "First point, from today on, you are no longer Ren Guanlan.

  "Second point, I'm not doing this to save the lives of your family. I just want to help the white-eyed wolf princess."

  "...Who did you call White-Eyed Wolf?"

  The eldest princess was a little unconvinced.

  Jiang Ran raised his tea cup and took a sip:
  "How many times have you died without me, and yet you still call me a slut? If you are not a white-eyed wolf, who is?" "This..."

  The eldest princess was speechless for a moment, so she could only laugh twice and said:

  "After all, you are indeed...well, you are indeed a little pervert.

  "Moreover, your hobby is quite special. The two sisters, Ye Jingshuang and Ye Jingxue, probably won't be able to escape your clutches in the end.

  "Tsk, tsk, a pair of twin sisters, let you do whatever you want, and you still say that you are not a thief?
  "Fortunately, I don't have any sisters, otherwise, I might not be able to escape your clutches!"

  Jiang Ran thought for a moment and asked Ren Guanlan:
  "Let me ask you something, how much benefit did they promise you after killing the eldest princess? Tell me, maybe if I am tempted, I will take her directly to the Qing Kingdom to seek great wealth!"

  "..."

  Ren Guanlan felt that he couldn't answer these words.

  The matter of escaping from death was temporarily understood, but now I heard Jiang Ran and the eldest princess talking so freely.

  It can be seen that the relationship between the two is also unusual.

  At this moment, for a prisoner like me to speak hastily... it is not a wise move.

  He simply kept silent, pretending that his ears were deaf, his mouth was mute, and his eyes were blind.

  The main thing is to listen but not hear, to turn a blind eye.

  The eldest princess rolled her eyes at Jiang Ran:
  "Don't come here. I still owe you [-] taels of gold. I don't believe you are willing to send me to Qing Country."

  Jiang Ran stretched out his hand and pointed at Ren Guanlan:

  "Eighty-two thousand taels... No, there is also Shen Tuhong of Jingmie Pavilion... All the four great masters of the Qing Kingdom died in my hands, and I won't ask you for more than one thousand taels of gold per person.

  “This adds up to eighty-six thousand taels.

  "Besides, I killed hundreds of Jingmie Pavilion killers in Xiaoyu Manor, and each of them received ten taels of gold, so you have to give me another thousand taels.

  "Calculating it this way, even if I give you a zero, you still owe me eighty-seven thousand taels now!!"

  The eldest princess felt like she could hardly breathe.

  She suddenly felt that bringing Jiang Ran back to Beijing might not be a good thing.

  If this continues, Jin Chan will have to pay for him when he arrives in the capital. He glanced at Jiang Ran:
  "How about you take the position of eldest princess?"

  "...Reasonable?"

  Jiang Ran opened one eyelid and glanced at her.

  "Then I will kill my imperial brother and make you the head office of Emperor Jin Chan, right?"

  The eldest princess said helplessly:
  "With so much gold, I'm afraid that the emperor will eat me alive."

  "That's your business too."

  Jiang Ran lightly knocked on the table:
  "Okay, let's get down to business. Leader Ren, you should be able to tell me who is behind you now, right?"

  The whole story of this matter has to be told from the beginning.

  The man in black caught by Jiang Ran using Shen Tuhong was sent to the eldest princess.

  Because he had used the King of Hell's wrath in advance, the man in black knew everything about the eldest princess and told her everything.

  However, what he knew was quite limited.

  I only know that there is an extremely lofty ideal and a goal worth fighting for my life, but the content I understand is quite empty.

  But still let the eldest princess know that the power behind it is extremely huge.

  Not only can he control the wind and rain in the arena, but he can also control the sky with one hand in the court.

  But what is really scary is that this power is always hidden under the water.

  As a result, the Iron Cavalry Alliance suddenly turned against each other. The reason why they were obviously from Jin Chan but colluded with Qing Country appeared.

  After investigating the Iron Cavalry Alliance from its inception to the present, there was no trace of collusion between them and the Qing Kingdom... Therefore, Jiang Ran guessed that the people behind the Iron Cavalry Alliance were probably part of the huge black hand.

  If you want to investigate this matter, the breakthrough point is Ren Guanlan.

  That's why Jiang Ran just asked for a password from the eldest princess.

  After all, her status was extraordinary, and being assassinated was a big deal... If she wanted to make a big deal about it, it was completely logical.

  Jiang Ran relied on this to threaten Ren Guanlan's nine clans and make Ren Guanlan die in front of others.

  The advantage of this is that the people standing behind Ren Guanlan will think that Ren Guanlan is dead.

  My secret will not be leaked, and I will naturally not use it to do anything to alert others.

  And Jiang Ran can use this hidden method to bring back Ren Guanlan's 'corpse' and bring him back to life.

  In addition, the ending of the former also allows Ren Guanlan to speak freely and boldly without worrying that his words will bring disaster to his wife, children and clan members.

  It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

  As for why I am sure Ren Guanlan must know something...

  Ever since Jiang Ran said that the eldest princess wanted to use this to punish his nine clans, and he said, "She can't do it," many things were self-evident.

  Until now, Ren Guanlan was still thinking, is it so profitable to be a knife hunter? Eighty-two thousand seven thousand taels of gold... What kind of business can I earn from this?

  Suddenly hearing Jiang Ran's words, I remembered the current reality.

  He pondered slightly, glanced at Jiang Ran and the eldest princess, and said softly:
  "Have you ever heard of the word 'blood cicada'?"

  Jiang Ran was taken aback:
  "In the Golden Chan territory, these two words are probably forbidden sentences, right? It's a bit unlucky..."

  "This palace knows."

  The eldest princess said softly:
  “Besides, these two words are not forbidden words.

  "The blood cicada is not the golden cicada covered in blood...but the blood of a bloody battle!

  “Strictly speaking, Xue Chan is actually the predecessor of the Sword Holder.

  “It’s just that the Blood Cicada’s operation is hidden underground and is the weapon of our country, the Golden Cicada.

  “Across the rivers, lakes and courts!
  "It's just that... after a battle twenty years ago, Xue Chan's vitality was severely damaged and has never recovered since.

  “I created the Sword Holding Department from the old Blood Cicada Department.

  “Many of them clearly understand this world, and therefore...provided me with a lot of conveniences.

  “It’s just that they seem to want to make the Sword Holder into another blood cicada.

  "I jumped out and decided on the purpose of 'focusing on the rivers and lakes, despising the court', and that's how we got the current Sword Holding Division.

  "Holding the sword and seizing the knife aims to stabilize the world, stabilize the country, and calm the people's hearts.

  "Instead of hiding in the dark, practicing treacherous tricks and causing people to panic."

  Ren Guanlan glanced at the eldest princess after hearing this, his expression seemed to be quite emotional, and finally nodded lightly:
  "The eldest princess is indeed extraordinary. She has the spirit of the late emperor."

  "Don't dare to say this nonsense..."

  The eldest princess glanced at Ren Guanlan:
  "I, Jin Chan, have been in power for hundreds of years, but there was also a woman as the emperor in the previous dynasty. This statement can easily bring disaster to my life."

  Jiang Ran touched his chin:
  "You can blurt out that you killed your royal brother so that I could take the throne...are you still worried about this?"

  "That was a joke."

  "Isn't this one?"

  Jiang Ran glanced at the eldest princess thoughtfully.

  The eldest princess snorted:
  "It depends on what my royal brother thinks?"

  This actually still doesn’t make sense.

  But Jiang Ran did not continue to investigate, but added a cup of tea for himself:

  "What happened to the blood cicada?"

  "It fell apart and completely dissipated."

  The eldest princess answered casually.

  But Ren Guanlan shook his head:
  "The eldest princess is wrong..."

  "The blood cicada is always here!
  "It's just that the war twenty years ago made them act more secretly.

  "Even...even..."

  When he said this, his expression seemed a little weird and a little unbelievable.

  Neither Jiang Ran nor the eldest princess asked him any questions, they just looked at him quietly.

  There were a lot of sweat beads on Ren Guanlan's forehead, and finally he took a deep breath and said:
  "Even... they seem to have broken away from the imperial power and are beyond the imperial power!

  "It's more...more likely that he wants to replace it."

  "It's ridiculous!"

  The eldest princess' face darkened:
  "Even though the Blood Cicada is practicing cunning tricks, it exists to protect me, the Golden Cicada.

  "How can you turn your back on Jin Chan? It's even more impossible to think that you are above Jin Chan!

  "As for replacing it... How dare you say such rebellious words so easily!?"

  Ren Guanlan saw that the eldest princess had a stern expression, but he was not moved at all. He just looked at the eldest princess like this, he was slightly silent, and then sighed:
  "It turns out that even the eldest princess didn't realize that Xue Chan had changed a long time ago...

  “Since that battle twenty years ago, Xue Chan has become weird.

  "They seem to have gained something from that battle...or discovered something.

  “But it’s impossible for a person like me to know the specific situation.

  “I only know that over the years, their actions have become more mysterious and unfathomable.

  “He showed up several times, but it always made me feel invincible.

  “What’s more, they seem to be capable of anything!

  "No matter how ridiculous it is...they, they can do it.

  "I don't know, I don't know how they did it. I just know that facing them, our cavalry alliance is like a three-year-old baby facing jackals, tigers and leopards.

  “I have no strength to carry my weight!!

  "So, I can only obey orders... After all, back then, our Iron Cavalry Alliance was able to become one of the thirteen gangs, and Xue Chan played an indispensable role in it!

  "Whether it's kindness or power, I can't resist."

  When Jiang Ran heard this, he suddenly asked:
  "In that battle twenty years ago... who was their opponent?"

  Ren Guanlan blurted out without thinking:

  "Devil Cult!
  "The former demon king Jiang Tianye, and... Mrs. Qingyang!"
