Chapter 349

  What was said after that was all trivial matters.

  Seeing that the time was almost up, Jiang Ran asked Ren Guanlan to lie down and sent him out disguised as a corpse.

  It was placed on the carriage for the time being.

  Also resting on the carriage was Mrs. Wu.

  Fortunately, Ren Guanlan didn't know Mrs. Wu's background, but was grateful to Jiang Ran for remembering to find a carriage to protect him from the wind and rain.

  Otherwise, who would care about a corpse?
  It's not normal to just throw it into the yard.

  After Jiang Ran settled Ren Guanlan here, he returned to the eldest princess's room.

  The eldest princess did not lie down, obviously waiting for him.

  The two people looked at each other, and it was the eldest princess who spoke first:
  "This matter is big."

  "...Originally, this matter is not a small matter."

  Jiang Ran was speechless:

  "Someone in Jin Chan collaborated with the enemy and treason, and colluded with the Qing Kingdom to assassinate the eldest princess of the dynasty.

  "Can this be a trivial matter?

  "The difference is that with Ren Guanlan's words, we know that the blood cicada is still there... Of course, we have to distinguish whether his words are true or false.

  "However, if the blood cicada is really still here...

  "How does the eldest princess plan to deal with it?"

  "Such thieves must be punished!"

  The eldest princess didn't even think about it, there was murderous intent in her eyes.

  Jiang Ran pouted:

  "Execute...definitely. I'm asking you, how do you plan to punish him?"

  "...Find them and kill them!"

  After the eldest princess finished saying these words of course, she seemed to let out a breath of relief:

  "I understand what you want to say...

  "They have been hiding so deeply. Over the years, I don't know, my brother doesn't know, and everyone in Jin Chan doesn't know!
  “As long as everyone who knows, I’m afraid they are all their people.

  "They are hiding in the dark and slowly spreading their claws. Who knows how many of them are in the entire Golden Cicada now?

  “Even if we need to investigate this matter, we must not act rashly.

  “You need to be cautious and even more cautious!”

  Jiang Ran nodded slightly:

  "That's right. Since the eldest princess has this understanding, I can rest assured."

  "What are you doing?"

  The eldest princess saw Jiang Ran getting up to leave and shouted quickly.

  Jiang Ran said of course:
  "As a little thief in my lower body, I should naturally do what a thief should do.

  "I have a lot of beauties and confidants, a lovely wife and a beautiful family. Why are you here with me when you have nothing to do?"

  "...You can wait until you become a slut."

  The eldest princess said:
  "Now that Ren Guanlan says this, I always feel like no one around me can believe it.

  "Even Shan Cong, who has always been stupid, I feel like he has ulterior motives.

  "The only person I can trust now is you...so you have to help me investigate the blood cicada!"

  "What about the benefits?"

  Jiang Ran did not refuse directly, but looked at the eldest princess with raised eyebrows.

  "..."

  The eldest princess was silent for a moment:
  "How about you do what you just planned to do to me?"

  "...I just planned to go to the latrine, what should I do to you?"

  Jiang Ran wondered.

  The eldest princess’s face turned dark:
  "Bah, shameless smelly!"

  "You have the nerve to talk about me? As a majestic princess, you really don't have any shame... You have the nerve to say anything."

  Jiang Ran was speechless for a while.

  "Then I have no other choice now."

  The eldest princess felt a little aggrieved when she said this:

  "In terms of money, I still owe you so much...

  "If I go back and find any excuse to ask my brother to withdraw money from the treasury, I won't be able to do it.

  “I really have no money now.

  "I don't have the money, but I still have my body. You said that you only like wealth and sex. I can't give you money, so I have to give you people.

  "Anyway, you little lecher, you are full of confidantes. One more of me is not more, and one less of me is not more.

  "If it works out, I don't think I've suffered much!"

  "Nonsense, I'm the one who suffers!"

  Jiang Ran gave her a big look:
  "About the blood cicada... I will think about it carefully.

  "I will give you an answer after I get to the capital."

  "it is good."

  The eldest princess was also very happy. Finally she tilted her head and asked:
  "Are you really not interested in me?"

  "Back, back, back!"

  Jiang Ran rolled his eyes and pushed the eldest princess's head back.

  The eldest princess bared her teeth and claws in anger:
  "I am the eldest princess of a country!!"

  "I hope you can remember your identity well."

  Jiang Ran felt that he had almost finished rolling his eyes tonight, so he shook his head:
  "Okay, I'm going back first, you have a good rest."

  "That's okay..."

  The eldest princess looked at Jiang Ran and said eagerly:
  "However, you must think carefully and give me an answer after arriving in the capital.

  "Now I have no one to rely on, the only one I can trust is you...

  "If you don't even help me, I'm afraid..."

  Jiang Ran glanced at her:
  "Stop pretending to be pitiful... I'm thinking that even if Jin Chan destroys the country, nothing will happen to you."

  "Bah, bah, bah! What nonsense are you talking about? Do you believe that the emperor will give you a death sentence?"

  "Does he have this ability?"

  Jiang Ran frowned.

  "...You are indeed a gangster who uses force to break the law. You are extremely hateful! You gangster!"

  Jiang Ran didn't intend to linger with this woman. After he had finished talking, he turned around and walked out.

  The night was cold, and Jiang Ran's mind was unusually clear.

  As he walked back to his room, he couldn't help but think of the blood cicada in his mind...

  Just as he was thinking about it, he opened the door and saw Ye Jingshuang sitting there.

  Jiang Ran didn't know why, but everyone said that Ye Jingshuang and Ye Jingxue looked exactly the same.

  Of course, Jiang Ran thinks so too.

  But for some reason, he could always recognize at a glance which one was Ye Jingshuang and which one was Ye Jingxue.

  "It's so late, you haven't rested yet?"

  Jiang Ran came to the table and sat down, pouring her a cup of tea.

  "Brother Jiang, you have something on your mind."

  Ye Jingshuang looked at Jiang Ran, not in doubt, but in affirmation.

  "Why do you say that?"

  Jiang Ran smiled.

  "It's all written on your face."

  Ye Jingshuang picked up the tea cup, sipped it gently, and finally let out a breath:

  "Of course, only I can probably see this... Can you tell me? What happened?"

  "Um……"

  Jiang Ran thought for a while and said:
  “I once swore on your parents’ graves that I would take care of you throughout my life.

  “This is a lifelong promise.

  "If you were willing in your heart, you and I should be the closest people in this world.

  "So, there are some things I wanted to tell you...

  "It's just that I don't know, after knowing these things, whether it is good or bad for you...

  "If you feel that this matter has too much impact on you, no matter what choice you make, I will accept it."

  Ye Jingshuang was stunned for a moment:
  "Is it such an important thing?"

  Jiang Ran nodded:

  "It involves a lot of things, including the current situation, major world events, my personal affairs, and disputes between good and evil... In short, it's very chaotic.

  "If you want to hear it, I will tell you slowly."

  "it is good."

  Ye Jingshuang nodded:
  "Speak, I'll listen!"

  These four simple words were the answer for which Ye Jingshuang was mentally prepared.

  Jiang Ran looked at her:
  "No need to think about it again?"

  "I've been thinking about it for a long time."

  Ye Jingshuang smiled and said:

  "I can."

  Jiang Ran did not continue to struggle, but slowly began to tell his life experience.

  He didn't add too much personal emotion to his words. He just started with the content of the Demon Cult.

  It tells that the Demon Sect once had a Demon Kingdom, and the Demon Kingdom had a magic weapon.

  How they pursued the great freedom of the demons, and finally destroyed the country and became the demon sect... This is the basis of the war of the five kingdoms.

  Mentioned the previous generation Demon Lord Jiang Tianye, and... Mrs. Qingyang.

  Next, let’s talk about Jiang Ran himself.

  Ye Jingshuang had been mentally prepared since Jiang Ran started from the Demon Cult. But when she heard the old drunkard picking up the critically ill child from the snow, she couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.

  "Nine deaths?"

  She couldn't help but interrupt:
  "Now...what's going on now?"

  Everyone knows that a person who has suffered nine deaths will not live past the age of twenty.

  And she remembered that when she first met Jiang Ran, he was about to turn twenty.

  So now...

  Thinking of this, he didn't care about the demon sect. The first thing he cared about was Jiang Ran's body. He felt so painful that he wished he could take his own life instead.

  Jiang Ran shook his head slightly:

  "It doesn't matter... maybe you are my lucky star. Since the day you and I met, I have obtained a secret method that can suppress or even cure the nine-death situation.

  "That's why I can sit here and talk to you now."

  Ye Jingshuang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what he said:
  "That's fine, that's fine..."

  "That's good... but it's a waste of time to ask another group of people, but it's also a good thing."

  "Oh?"

  "Listen to me and tell you slowly..."

  Jiang Ran didn't hide anything about the poetry and painting of the Tang Dynasty.

  Tell them bit by bit.

  But when I heard that Tang Shiqing practiced the most tragic thing in all eternity in order to save Jiang Ran, I was a little confused.

  After Jiang Ran recounted all the mysteries of Eternal Sorrow in this way, Ye Jingshuang's eyes turned red:
  "It turns out...she actually paid so much for you.

  "Brother Jiang, you can never let her down in this life."

  “The longer we spend together now, the more and more my feelings become different from the past.

  "It's just that, in this case, I'm afraid it would be unfair to you all if you favor one over the other."

  As a man, it is natural that he yearns for three wives and four concubines.

  Although Jiang Ran, as a modern person, is accustomed to the system of monogamy, he has been in this world for many years, and the events in his previous life really seem to have passed so long.

  But from an emotional point of view, it is inevitable that they will feel unfair to them.

  Ye Jingshuang shook her head lightly:
  "If you were so merciless to her, I would be frightened just now.

  "She has sacrificed so much for you, but you can abandon her so cruelly. In the future... what will I do?"

  "..."

  Jiang Ran thought about it and felt that this statement seemed to be true, but it seemed not to be true.

  After thinking about it, I decided not to dwell too much on this issue.

  The main thing tonight is to explain my affairs to Ye Jingshuang.

  So far, things are looking good.

  Anyway, just accept it... As for how to accept it and what kind of inner struggle, Jiang Ran doesn't intend to go into too much detail. If he gets to the bottom of it, he will regret it later.

  After that, Jiang Ran told what he knew again.

  I kept mentioning just now...

  Ren Guanlan was saved by him by stealing the sky and exchanging it for the sun.

  It also tells about the battle between Jiang Tianye and Mrs. Qingyang and the masters of the Five Nations twenty years ago.

  After hearing this, Ye Jingshuang finally understood what Jiang Ran was thinking:
  “So, Xue Chan is actually not just the eldest princess’s enemy.

  "Similarly...they are also your biggest enemies, Brother Jiang!"

  The enmity between parents is irreconcilable!
  A big enemy indeed!

  Jiang Ran shook his head gently:
  "This may be a bit cold to say...

  "But I was raised by an old drunkard since I was a child. I have only a few relatives, and I don't even miss my parents.

  "Besides, my situation is a bit special, and I don't have any different feelings towards my biological parents...

  "So... blood feud, avenged or not, I actually don't care as much as you think."

  When he said this, he paused and glanced at Ye Jingshuang:
  "Are you surprised that there are people in this world who can ignore their parents' hatred?"

  Ye Jingshuang just looked at Jiang Ran steadily:

  "It's not that you are indifferent to the hatred between your parents, it's just that... you have never been close to them, and you have never felt how good they are to you.

  “The feelings in the heart are naturally shallow.

  "I can't blame you... If I do, it's also the person who started that fight."

  "Jiang Tianye?"

  "He is the leader of these five countries!"

  "..."

  Jiang Ran took Ye Jingshuang's hand, put it on his knee, and said softly:
  "You know now that I am a member of the Demon Cult... There are many of them, and they all call me Young Master now.

  “Perhaps, I will also become the Demon Lord of the Demon Cult in the future!

  "With me like this, are you still willing to stay with me?"

  Ye Jingshuang looked up at Jiang Ran:

  “Sometimes we actually have no way to make a choice for ourselves, right?
  "It's like I... I was born a descendant of the Hong Maple Leaf family.

  "She is a well-known and upright heroine in the world.

  "If the people who gave birth to me were an ordinary couple, then I would just be a village girl in the countryside.

  "If the person who gave birth to me was an evil heretic, then I would probably become a little witch that everyone shouts about to kill!

  “We never get to choose where we come from.

  "Brother Jiang, your mentor took you by his side to educate you, but he did not want you to accept the teachings of the Demon Cult. He will only tell you all this when you have the ability to distinguish right from wrong and the power to distinguish good from evil.

  "I just want you to know... We can't choose our origins, but we can choose what kind of people we are!"

  Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment, then laughed:
  "Then I must be this demon king?"

  "Then...you must have your reasons."

  Ye Jingshuang said softly:
  "I feel that if you become a demon lord, it may not be a bad thing. It may rewrite the structure of the demon sect that has existed for thousands of years."

  Jiang Ran sighed:

  "You are worshiping blindly."

  "So what... Anyway, in my opinion, everything you did was right.

  “You didn’t know that you were the Demon Lord at that time, and I didn’t know that you were the son of the Demon Lord in the past.

  "In my eyes, you are the hero who saved me from fire and water.

  "He is a great hero, a great hero!
  "Can it be that just because I know your origin, I feel that all the kindness you showed me back then is not counted?

  "You are the most chivalrous person I have ever met. You are a well-deserved Hero Jiang!"

  Ye Jingshuang leaned gently against Jiang Ran:
  "It's just that I didn't expect that you would have such a miserable life experience.

  "It makes me feel so sad. I regret that the time I have known you is too short...I can't comfort you softly by your side when you are sad.

  "Even if it doesn't work, at least there will be someone to talk to, and you will feel less scared."

  Jiang Ran's fingertips trembled slightly.

  Fear……

  Have you ever been afraid?
  Scared!

  After rebirth, he came to such a colorful world again.

  When I was young, my dream of wearing bright clothes, angry horses, and swords, seemed to be about to come true.

  As a result, reality told him that he would die at the age of twenty.

  As a time traveler, the first thought is anger.

  But when you are angry, as you get older...are you afraid?
  How can we not be afraid! ?

  Jiang Ran is also a human being, and everyone is afraid of death.

  If he didn't know when he would die, he would still be fearless, but he knew...

  Twenty years old!
  It was like a road that was only twenty miles long. Every mile he went forward was one step closer to death.

  How could he not have the fear of approaching death bit by bit?
  Death is not scary...waiting to die is scary!
  However, he never showed this.

  The old drunkard only thought that he was free and easy, but he didn't know that he just forced a smile and eventually became numb.

  Now Ye Jingshuang's words directly pierced the softest part of his heart.

  Jiang Ran subconsciously hugged her into his arms, as if he wanted to find the strength that no one could detect in this soft and delicate body.

  Ye Jingshuang did not push Jiang Ran away, but hugged his body with her backhand.

  After a long time, the two people separated.

  Jiang Ran dumbly smiled:
  "It seems a bit embarrassing..."

  "will not."

  Ye Jingshuang stretched out her hand, drew lines along Jiang Ran's cheek, and said softly:

  "Would you feel better?"

  "It's much more comfortable."

  Jiang Ran said softly:

  "Back to the previous topic... What I was worried about just now was not just because of the blood feud between my parents.

  “More because of the old drunkard.

  “When we were at Jinyang Mansion, this old guy left without saying goodbye again.

  "Although I'm not completely sure, I always feel that he might have gone to avenge my mother..."

  "what?"

  Ye Jingshuang was taken aback.

  Jiang Ran then told her that the old drunkard once had a past with his mother.

  Ye Jingshuang's eyes blinked when she heard this. As a girl, such gossip obviously suits her well.

  But when I think about the protagonists in this matter, one is Jiang Ran's master, and the other is Jiang Ran's mother... I feel that it is a bit inappropriate for my identity to eat like this.

  But in a second thought, I already understood:

  "So, you are worried about your master?

  "Then we have to get involved in this matter no matter what!"

  "That's right, but you can't act too eager... otherwise, the eldest princess will notice.

  "This woman... looks ordinary, but in fact she has a sharp mind."
