Chapter 377: Greeting with Sword

Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows slightly.

He glanced at the man sitting in front of the desk.

"You said you came here to give me an explanation...why, after you came here, it seemed like you wanted to give me an explanation."

Jiang Ran smiled:

"Why do I always feel that your words mean something?"

"No."

Emperor Jin Chan categorically denied it, and then thought for a moment before saying:

“Now that Jin Chan is in a precarious situation, you acted a little too recklessly tonight.

"It's because Yu Chan has a deep understanding of your mind that she can suppress this matter for the time being.

“But in this way, you can be regarded as the target of public criticism.

"If this matter is done according to the rules, it would actually be unfair to the prince."

"Is that fair to me?"

A smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Ran's mouth:

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, if the person who is being embarrassed by the prince today is definitely one of you.

"But a person whose martial arts skills are not as good as those of the four masters of the Prince... So what?

"In other words, Your Majesty, your prince, is looking down upon human life.

"What are you going to do?"

Emperor Jin Chan suddenly raised his head and looked at Jiang Ran.

As their eyes met, Jiang Ran said calmly:

"Could it be that Your Majesty thinks that this matter is no big deal.

"What does it matter if he, the dignified prince, kills a ruthless gangster?

“If this reckless person is really guilty of a crime that requires death, there is nothing to say.

"On the contrary...is such indiscriminate killing worthy of being...inhumane?"

The right way is to kill people and kill the heart.

Jiang Ran's words of 'unkindness' directly hit Emperor Jin Chan's lungs.

In the battle for the throne, Prince Wu was defeated because of his words of "unkindness".

Now the prince's behavior has been branded as "unkind".

Doesn't this mean that the prince has lost his virtue and is not worthy to be in charge of the East Palace, and is not worthy to be the crown prince?

Going a step further...

I saw the golden cicada emperor's face turned dark:

"You want to say that I... was blind and made the wrong prince?"

Jiang Ran shook his head:

“We have no control over who the emperor wants to make the crown prince.

"But what the prince did may be true as the Holy One said, and there was another hidden reason.

"But even if he was bewitched by others...it would be a bit unsmart to act like this.

“It is unkind to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and it is unwise to be easily provoked.

"Unkind and unwise, what a golden prince!"

"You are so presumptuous!!!"

Emperor Jin Chan was furious and slapped the table. His face was livid, and the veins on his forehead were popping.

And with such a big movement, the experts outside were naturally blind and deaf.

Immediately, people came out from left and right, surrounding Jiang Ran.

As long as Emperor Jin Chan gives the order, he will take action.

Jiang Ran didn't even look at them, but looked at the emperor with a half-smile:

"I'm so reckless, what does the Holy Spirit want?"

"..."

Emperor Jin Chan took a deep breath and then waved his hand:

"Go back."

This group of internal experts did not dare to disobey orders and immediately retreated.

But before leaving, I couldn't help but take another look at Jiang Ran.

It made Long Yan furious, but in the end nothing happened... Who is this person?

"I thought that the Holy One also wanted to see if I, a ruthless gangster, was capable of splattering blood with five steps."

Jiang Ran smiled lightly:

"Say something heartfelt to the Holy One.

"I am really just a country man. If you want me to be like your civil and military ministers, holding you up and saying...then you have found the wrong person.

"I always say what I say directly. If you don't like it, then it's best for us to meet less in the future.

"Lest in a fit of anger, Long Yan becomes furious and the country changes hands in the end.

“This is not what I want, nor is it what the Holy One wants.

"Farewell."

"Wait a minute!"

Emperor Jin Chan shouted again with a dark face.

"Anything else?"

Jiang Ran looked back at him.

"You have something to talk about, you have something to talk about, why don't you leave if you have nothing to do? Are you going to leave when the matter is over?"

Emperor Jin Chan babbled with a livid face:

"Come as soon as you say, leave as soon as you say, where do you think my imperial study is?"

"What kind of temper... I am a noble person, but I can't be angry when you say that I am blind and ignorant to my face?

"This didn't do anything to you, but you got angry.

"This is really unreasonable!"

As he spoke, he stood up and stopped sitting there.

Although she already knew Jiang Ran's character, the eldest princess had vaccinated him more than once.

But sitting here, there is always a feeling of facing ordinary courtiers.

But now this person is not his minister... and doesn't listen to him.

A real stalemate would be detrimental to the current situation, and even more detrimental to him.

Jiang Ran said that the country has changed hands. This is not a joke.

This man really has the ability to walk away after killing himself.

Even if the golden cicada is in chaos because of this, the people will not be able to survive.

But as a ruthless man in the world, after feeling happy in his heart, even if he regrets other things later, it has nothing to do with his dead emperor.

Therefore, what Emperor Jin Chan was talking about was part of it, and he couldn't help but tell himself in his heart... endure the calm for a while, and take a step back to open up the world.

I am the True Dragon Emperor!

If you have the power to control the world, why can’t you give in a little bit?

What's the big deal?

Just as he was comforting himself in his heart, he heard a puff.

Immediately he looked up and saw the eldest princess covering her mouth vigorously, as if she was not the one who laughed just now.

Emperor Jin Chan's face darkened:

"Is it funny?"

"good……"

The eldest princess nodded and rubbed her face a little:

"Okay, okay, it's just like what the emperor said.

“If you have something to talk about, let’s talk slowly.

"Jiang Ran, your usual temper is not like this... Why do you seem to be particularly irritable when you see Brother Huang and the others?

"Do you have any objections to our royal family?"

"I don't dare...Princess, the hat is too big, and you are talking nonsense like this. In a while, the master will come in for a walk again."

As he spoke, he untied the wine gourd around his waist and took a sip.

Emperor Jin Chan sneered, this was another unseemly act for the king.

However, his nose twitched and his brows furrowed slightly:

"What are you drinking?"

"The indulgent wine of Qianyun Villa."

Jiang Ran smacked his lips:

"It's really a good wine."

"That's unreasonable!"

Emperor Jin Chan was even more angry:

"Qianyun Villa clearly said that its annual output is only twenty-three jars, and all of them are sent to Dauchi.

"Why do you still have it in your hand?"

Jiang Ran thought for a moment and said:

"How should I help them talk so that they don't deceive the emperor?"

He was asking the eldest princess.

The eldest princess thought for a moment and said:

"This is a bit troublesome. This is obviously bullying the emperor."

"No, no, no, no, no, if Qianyun Villa is full of people, we won't be able to drink this good wine in the future."

Jiang Ran suddenly slapped his hands:

"By the way, it can be said that these twenty-three altars are the best among the best.

“Everyone else who flows into the rivers and lakes is second-rate.

"Of course the things given to the emperor are the best, let's just use this... second-rate thing a little bit.

"What do you think of this reason, Your Majesty?"

"...I think you think I'm a fool."

Emperor Jin Chan waved his hand impatiently:

"Forget it, I won't be the same as you.

"Continue to talk about the prince...

“Whether he is unwise or unkind.

"I have my own opinion on abolishing the crown prince, and there is no reason for me to listen to you.

"But if there is someone really provoking him behind his back, he wants to make the prince have a grudge against you.

"Then what this person did and what he planned behind him must be investigated to the end!"

Jiang Ran touched his chin:

"This matter is actually not difficult to figure out...

“If you offend the prince, you will naturally get no good fruits.

"Even if the prince can't do anything to me, after this incident happens, I'm afraid there won't be any place for me to stand in the capital.

"Once I leave the capital and protect the eldest princess to go to Qing Kingdom, Your Majesty will have to hire someone else.

"If the other party has such a purpose..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Ran raised his head and glanced at Emperor Jin Chan.

Then Emperor Jin Chan said coldly:

"Although most of this matter has been decided, the people accompanying it have not yet discussed it in detail at the court meeting.

"Knowing that you will escort Yu Chan to Qing Country, it's only a matter of one palm!"

"Already have a palm count?"

Jiang Ran was surprised:

"Your Majesty, is your mouth leaking? You are so unable to hide things...don't you hear that things are made secret, and words are used to reveal things."

"nonsense!"

Emperor Jin Chan smelled the aroma of Zongyi's wine in Jiang Ran's wine gourd and subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Even though he is a nine-five-year-old, it seems that it is easy to get whatever he wants.

But in fact, everyone has their own difficulties, just like the emperor in front of him... He can't listen to himself at all on his daily food and drink expenses.

If you like it, you can't eat more of it because you're worried that someone might notice it and tamper with it.

Although the intention is good... there are still twenty-three altars per year.

But he couldn't drink more than a few drinks.

Unless you find an excuse to invite a few civil servants and generals to the palace for a banquet, you can drink more.

But after only a few drinks, he had to be nagged by the imperial doctor and dissuaded by the concubines in the harem.

Reasons such as 'drinking too much is harmful to the body' make my ears tingle.

Seeing Jiang Ran take one mouthful after another, he couldn't help but feel a little greedy.

Maybe the swallowing sound was a little loud, but Jiang Ran heard it.

He looked up at the Emperor and then at his wine gourd.

A sudden realization. Seeing this, the emperor suddenly felt a little hopeful in his heart.

People in the world are generous and heroic.

Seeing that I am craving for wine, I should share it.

He turned his eyes and started looking for the wine cup in the imperial study room.

When he turned around, he saw Jiang Ran secretly hiding the wine gourd behind his back.

"..."

What Emperor Jin Chan originally wanted to say could not be said for a moment.

All I could think about was...he was hiding the wine!

Damn the generosity of people in the world!

This bastard is such a pick!

"and then?"

The eldest princess was listening intently, but she found that her brother was suddenly speechless and couldn't help but ask.

It turned out that he was staring at Jiang Ran again.

"What are you doing?"

The eldest princess wondered.

Jiang Ran immediately struck preemptively:

"He tried to steal my drink."

"Nonsense! Don't I have any wine?

"Will he rob you?"

Emperor Jin Chan refused to admit it even if he was beaten to death.

Jiang Ran smiled:

"That's true... although singing as much as you want is good wine.

“But the Nine-Five Lord can definitely drink it.

"After all, even Shen Tu Lie, the head of the Shanhai Society, can use Gao Ge Nian as the drink for tonight's dinner. A majestic Nine-Five-year-old man can't be inferior to him, right?"

Emperor Jin Chan was stunned again, and then felt a toothache.

How could he, once a majestic emperor, live worse than these common men in the world?

Then I heard Jiang Ran say:

“Don’t worry about my wine yet.

"First of all, who did you leak this to?"

"..."

Emperor Jin Chan felt out of breath, took two deep breaths to calm down, and then said:

"The sect leader of Dao Yi Sect, the current national master is Dao Que Zhenren.

"Wuwei Hou Gong Chuanxi, the Minister of Civil Affairs Zong Qingming, and... the Minister of Hubu Yuwen Pleiades."

"It's really less than a palm."

Jiang Ran touched his chin and thought slightly:

"The head of Tao Yi Sect, Marquis of Wuwei, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and Minister of the Ministry of Hubu...

“They are all very powerful people.

"Yes, yes, speaking of it, I have never visited Daoyizong since I arrived in the capital.

"I plan to go to Dao Yizong tomorrow, but I don't know if Master Dao Que will see me?"

"With tonight's incident ahead of him, he will definitely not avoid it."

Emperor Jin Chan sneered:

"If I check your book tomorrow, I'm afraid my table may not even be able to accommodate it."

"Oh."

Jiang Ran nodded, then smiled:

"Speaking of which, what's the point of joining me? I'm not a high official in your court.

"If you don't like me, you might as well go to me directly."

"...are you going to die?"

Emperor Jin Chan had no doubt that as long as these people dared to go to Jiang Ran, Jiang Ran would dare to beat them all to death.

Even if this person dares to kill the king, killing a few court officials is nothing! ?

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be as cruel as I think."

Jiang Ran smiled:

"Okay, I'm tired after working hard tonight... let's go back first.

"The emperor should also rest early, don't let the concubines in the harem wait too long.

"Let's go."

Saying that, he turned around and left.

The eldest princess bowed to Emperor Jin Chan and then followed Jiang Ran.

Emperor Jin Chan was extremely angry again.

In the past, my sister always followed him around, but now she follows him...

……

……

After leaving the imperial study room, the eldest princess naturally led the way.

As the two of them walked out, Jiang Ran said to the eldest princess:

"How much do you know about Yuwen Subaru?"

"You doubt him?"

The eldest princess glanced at Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran chuckled:

"There is good news, do you want to hear it?"

"tell me the story."

"There is a high probability that Yuwen Ting is the bloody cicada's wings."

Jiang Ran's voice was not loud, but it shocked the eldest princess's heart:

"really?"

"Not entirely sure, but very likely."

Jiang Ran said:

“First of all, Wu Qianzhong identified Yuwen Ting in his confession.

"I tested it today... Although he disguised himself well, there were still flaws.

“At that time, he was kneeling to worship the prince, and when he got up, I hit him with a peanut.

“Although he doesn’t have a particularly subtle technique, if he doesn’t know martial arts, he will definitely not be able to avoid it.

"But it turned out to be interesting...

"There is a difference of three inches between where I hit and where I finally hit!"

The eldest princess suddenly felt enlightened:

“He hid, he could have dodged, but after reacting, he stopped again.

"He actually possesses martial arts skills!"

But when he said this, he frowned slightly:

"But even so, it doesn't mean anything...

"As the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, it is reasonable to learn some martial arts for self-defense."

"But there is one section..."

Jiang Ran glanced at the eldest princess:

"He is in love with you and has mentioned more than once that if he knew martial arts, he would travel with you and help you solve your problems.

"But the result is...he obviously has martial arts skills, but he has never walked in the world with you."

"This also shows that he has never really been in love with me."

The eldest princess sneered:

"I grew up in the royal family. Although I may not be able to see through what kind of people hide what kind of thoughts, I can understand everything at a glance.

"He only has ambition for me, never any affection."

Jiang Ran touched his chin and said:

"But actually, it doesn't mean anything at this point...

“You can say he is ambitious, he knows martial arts and he hides his martial arts.

“But we can’t say that he is a blood cicada.

"But now...your imperial brother has only revealed to four people that I want to escort you to Qing Country.

“As a result, someone secretly flirted with the prince and wanted to ruin the matter.

“I’ve thought about it a lot, and if this thing can’t be done, I can only do what the blood cicada wants.

"What do you think? Among these four people, there might be some senior executives from Xuechan.

"With such a combination... Yuwen Ting and Yuwen Subaru stand out a little bit."

"It is indeed doubtful."

The eldest princess said as she walked:

“However, if the matter involves the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, it is beyond my power as a princess to interfere.

"Even if this princess is the eldest princess... it won't work."

"I didn't count on you."

Jiang Ran murmured:

"Tomorrow, I really should go to Daoyizong."

When he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his head and stopped.

The eldest princess was stunned when she saw this:

"what happened?"

"Do you feel it?"

Jiang Ran slowly closed his eyes.

"What do you feel?"

The eldest princess only thought he was inexplicable.

"Someone is emitting sword intent."

Jiang Ran opened his eyes again, and there seemed to be three sword marks in his eyes:

“Interesting… This should be Jian Wusheng’s sword.

"He is inviting me with his sword intention to fight!"

"what?"

The eldest princess was shocked.

She looked in the direction Jiang Ran was looking, but found nothing.

The night was silent and empty. How did Jiang Ran detect the intention of the sword?

But he didn't know that in Jiang Ran's eyes, the sword intent almost rose to the sky, as if it had formed a substance.

The huge sword intent condensed into a sword.

Just hanging upside down between heaven and earth.

The sharp edge makes people excited.

Moreover, it wasn't just Jiang Ran who felt it.

There were several places in the capital where someone opened his eyes and looked up in the direction of the sword intent.

But some people looked slightly confused and then closed their eyes.

Some people just glanced at it and just did what they were supposed to do.

Others sighed and sighed:

"The rivers and lakes are making waves..."

I won't say more.

Some people even flew out directly, planning to see the excitement.

At the same time, the old eunuch who was running wildly on the street, trying to find Jiang Ran, also stared at the sword light:

"What a huge momentum...Jiang Ran will definitely be there, Lie'er, just hold on."

Returning to Jiang Ran, the eldest princess looked at Jiang Ran:

"are you going?"

"Let's watch the fun together?"

Jiang Ran stretched out his hand.

The eldest princess put her hand on Jiang Ran's palm without even thinking about it:

"What are you waiting for?"

"go!"

……

……
