Prince Wu... every commoner in the Jin Chan Dynasty should know this name.
The previous emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne.
This is a matter of course in any dynasty.
However, there was one thing about the late emperor that was always strange...
Since he ascended the throne, he has not established a throne.
This is actually against the rules.
Although it is not that Baba hopes that the emperor will die early so that the prince can ascend the throne.
But the matter of establishing a crown prince is a big deal, and it can let people know that this country has an heir and a future.
Even if something unexpected happens to the emperor, the country's foundation will not be shaken because he has no heir.
At the same time, establishing the crown prince early will also allow him to learn how to govern the country early, so as to avoid troubles in the future.
As a result, the late emperor turned a deaf ear no matter how his officials advised him or his ministers advised him.
He said that he was upright and in the prime of life and was not in a hurry to build a nest egg.
Just put it off again and again, until in the end, I dragged myself to death...
Ordinary people naturally don't know what happened after that, and Jiang Ran and other people in the world don't know much about it either.
Anyway, we only know that after the death of the previous emperor, the current emperor succeeded him.
Today, however, it is not a matter of greatness.
Among many princes, he ranks third.
One of the first two brothers is really useless, and the other is Prince Wu.
Prince Wu is said to be a genius. He has been both civil and military since he was a child, and he is proficient in everything.
He is also the eldest among many princes.
Even if he is doing things according to the rule of establishing the elder rather than the younger, he should be the one to inherit the throne.
As a result, it was the third child who really inherited the throne.
Therefore, there is a saying among the people.
It is said that Prince Wu is certainly good at everything.
Good appearance, good martial arts, good knowledge, and good skills.
The only bad thing is... he is unkind!
Therefore, before the death of the late emperor, he personally pointed out that he should be the emperor today because he saw that Prince Wu had a bad heart and was unkind.
If the situation were different, anyone who said this would be charged with speech crimes.
Even if people today are willing to listen to this, they cannot be said.
After all, the royal family’s face is involved.
But the emperor just let it go... until the rumors became more and more outrageous. Some even said that Prince Wu was now full of resentment and would one day raise his troops to rebel.
Today, I dealt with some of the most violent ones without any pain.
The gossip that swept the entire Jin Chan Dynasty had just stopped.
From then on, Prince Wu became famous far and wide.
...because of its unkindness.
To be honest, when Jiang Ran heard about this, he thought it might be a rumor spread by the current emperor himself.
As long as this reputation becomes notorious, even if Prince Wu actually launches an army to rebel in the future, few people will respond.
But this matter has been in the past for a long time.
Since then, there has been no news about Prince Wu.
But I didn't expect that when I heard this news again, it would be in Liuyuan, where the wilderness is.
If the person who asked Tian Youfang to deal with Mr. Jin this time was really Prince Wu.
Jiang Ran thought it was actually understandable.
Mr. Jin is a descendant of the royal family.
Prince Wu may not hate his current emperor, but if he does, it would be normal for him to kill Mr. Jin as a little revenge.
But...what is the identity of Mr. Jin?
Is there any value in revenge?
The messy thoughts in his mind were spinning in circles.
I heard Tian Youfang say with a wry smile:
"Boss, I really didn't lie to you about this.
"To be honest, this boy... is actually the second son of the current prince, and the biological brother of the current prince.
"He was a sloppy man, his knowledge and martial arts were poor, and he was not taken seriously by the emperor.
"That's why he was allowed to travel around the world as he pleased.
"Prince Wu hated the emperor so much that he didn't know how to find his subordinates and promised him a lot of money...
"This subordinate took over this business."
When he said this, he glanced at Wu Di not far away, and then said to Jiang Ran:
"Boss, this kid is not suitable to work under you.
"His martial arts skills are mediocre, and his ability to use Gu is also mediocre.
"This subordinate has studied with him since he was a child, and his skills are far above him. You can rest assured that after this battle, I will be loyal to you and will never have second thoughts.
"Please spare me a horse!"
Wu Di frowned slightly and sneered:
"At a time like this, why don't you forget to step on me?
"I don't know when you started to become such a person.
"Obviously before..."
"So what before?"
Tian Youfang laughed:
"The past was before and the present is now. People will change. What's more, how do you know that I didn't hide it intentionally in the past?"
Jiang Ran glanced at Wu Di:
"How was he before?"
"He treated me very well in the past..."
Wu Di said softly:
"He is very kind to everyone. We even thought that he would become the leader of the clan in the future and protect our clan like grandpa.
"So, I have nothing to regret about A-Zhu being happy with him, I just think it's natural.
"But I didn't expect... to actually hurt her."
Jiang Ran had a disapproving look on his face, but he was a little curious in his heart.
A future patriarch who has been extremely outstanding since he was a child and has high hopes from everyone.
What kind of stimulation did he receive that suddenly changed his temperament?
Stealing the Gu King, killing Qingmei, and keeping Qingmei's natal Gu next to her.
He had just attacked Wu Di, which seemed very hot, but in fact he also left a lot of affection.
He was procrastinating and seemed unwilling to be cruel.
Although Jiang Ran never thought that human nature is inherently kind.
But I always feel like there might be something going on here.
But if I ask about this matter now, I probably won't be able to find anything.
Jiang Ran waved his hand:
"Okay, don't beg me either.
"I got a new lackey today, and I'm in a good mood.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to the dispute between you.
"Wu Di, I'll leave this person to you.
"How to deal with it is up to you.
"I hope you can fulfill your duties in the future and be my lackey.
"Don't learn from him... Speaking of which, how did you learn art together?
"This bastard looks a lot older than you."
"……I don't know either."
Wu Di also glanced at Tian Youfang strangely:
"How come you are so old?"
"Life is not easy outside."
When Tian Youfang said this, Jiang Ran stood up and seemed to be leaving.
He quickly said:
"Boss, please don't leave me alone. He hates me to the core. I killed the woman he loved most. If you leave me to him, my life will be worse than death... Boss, please help me."
Jiang Ran had already arrived at the door.
He turned around and glanced at Wu Di:
"Tomorrow morning, go to my place to find me. Don't let me wait for you."
"yes……"
Wu Di cupped his fists and raised his hands, thus agreeing.
Jiang Ran stepped out of the door and walked away in the blink of an eye.
One of the two people knelt on the ground and the other stood there. After watching Jiang Ran leave, Tian Youfang murmured:
"You should get the butterfly Gu back."
"If he doesn't come back, he won't give it to me."
Wu Di spoke softly.
"That's true."
Tian Youfang smiled and glanced at Wu Di:
"Have you thought about it? Do you really want to do things in front of him?
"I know you always keep your promises, but... I advise you to think about this matter again.
"This person is definitely not a good person.
"At first, I really thought he had no brain.
"Looking at it now, it feels like he has hidden everything...
"Don't let people betray you and still be ignorant."
"For example, you?"
Wu Di looked at Tian Youfang coldly.
Tian Youfang grinned:
"Yes, for example, I..."
Snapped!!
Tian Youfang's head tilted as he slapped his cheek, and he grimaced in pain:
"Can you please stop slapping this side of the face all the time, it's numb."
"Why...why on earth did you attack A-Zhu?"
Wu Di's chest heaved and he glared at Tian Youfang:
"No matter what you ask her for, she will give it to you!
"But you...can't take her life no matter what!!"
Tian Youfang gritted his teeth and smiled:
"Yeah, actually, I didn't have to kill her.
"But...what can we do?
"Maybe this is her life."
Having said this, Tian Youfang raised his head, glanced at Wu Di, and said softly:
"Kill me, chop off my head, and take it back to grandpa. You may be the next clan leader."
"Of course I will do it!!"
A flash of silver light suddenly appeared in Wu Di's palm. He stepped in front of Tian Youfang, grabbed his head and pressed it on the table. The silver light flashed in his hand and was about to fall.
But when the sharp blade was just a hair away from landing on Tian Youfang's neck, the hand suddenly stopped.
"Tell me... you have your reasons!"
Wu Di gritted his teeth and said:
"Tell me... you weren't the one who killed A-Zhu!
"Tell me...there's another problem behind this, it's not as simple as I thought!
"Ana! Tell me!!"
Tian Youfang's head was pressed, but a big smile appeared on his face:
"Azhu, I was the one who killed him.
“I don’t have any hard feelings…
"This matter is as simple as you think.
"I've told you everything I should tell you..."
"you!!!"
Wu Di's eyes were faintly red, but at this moment, he heard Tian Youfang say again:
"But there is one more thing that I am indeed hiding from you."
"What's up?"
Wu Di was stunned.
Just listen to Tian Youfang say:
"In this world, I can't be as kind as before..."
"If you want to break it off, then break it off."
"Varied……"
Wu Di was stunned and suddenly felt his wrist stiffen.
He lowered his head suddenly and discovered that there was a silver needle stuck in his arm at some point.
"Wood Man Gu..."
Wu Di's pupils suddenly shrank, and Tian Youfang lowered his head and escaped from his grasp.
With a casual kick, Wu Di was kicked to a chair and sat down.
Tian Youfang moved his hands and feet a little, and then rubbed his chest:
"He actually kicked me so hard that I couldn't breathe. I still underestimated this young boy..."
Looking up at Wu Di, he smiled:
"Are you curious? When did I get the silver needle?
"When was the acupuncture point unlocked again?
"I know you can't speak now..."
Tian Youfang had enough time to pour himself a cup of tea:
"It's true to hold your breath, and it's true to fall into coma.
"The silver needle was taken from you.
"Acupuncture... Although this method is good, it is useless for me.
"The acupuncture points in my body are completely different from those of normal people. It's not that his acupuncture skills are not good, but that no one in the world can tap my acupoints."
After drinking all the tea in the cup, Tian Youfang suddenly hit Wu Di on the neck.
Wu Di didn't even hum. He tilted his head and passed out.
There were four people in the room, and he was the only one awake now.
The smile on Tian Youfang's face gradually disappeared.
He glanced at Wu Di quietly and spoke softly:
"Azhu...it was indeed not me who killed him.
"I do have my own reasons...
"But I can't tell you, otherwise with your temperament, I'm afraid you will die faster.
"Hate me... keep chasing after me so that you... don't follow in A-Zhu's footsteps.
"It's me, a useless older brother, who makes you...work so hard."
After he said these words, he let out a long breath.
Then he stood up, raised his head slightly, and after calming down for a while, he came to Mr. Jin.
The palm of his hand turned slightly and was about to fall.
Then I heard a voice coming from the door:
"With this palm falling, some things may really be irreversible."
Tian Youfang's expression changed drastically, and he turned around suddenly, only to feel that the figure flashed, and the person had already arrived.
In surprise, he sent out a palm, but in the next moment, his wrist had already fallen into the opponent's palm.
An irresistible force hit him, and he involuntarily took two steps forward. The next moment, his hands were already clasped behind him.
Click click click!
There was a sound of dislocation from the two arms, followed by a tightening of the neck, two more clicks, and the two legs were also removed.
The whole person was helpless and was lifted up by the man's waist with one hand.
He turned his neck to look and saw that he and Jiang Ran were looking at each other.
Tian Youfang was greatly frightened.
Whether it was fear or begging for mercy, most of it was just an act.
This time it was real fear!
"You...you didn't leave..."
The biggest secret deep in my heart was revealed to a reckless man.
This made him tremble with horror.
"If you really leave, wouldn't you be able to see this scene again?"
Jiang Ran smiled:
"What a pity..."
Tian Youfang's expression changed drastically:
"No... you, you are not Tong Qianjin, what are you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ran stretched out his five fingers, grabbed his chin, pulled it casually, and with a click, his chin was removed.
"There are too many words. This is not the place to talk. Let's find another place to have a good chat...but not now."
Jiang Ran took a few steps and the person had already left the room.
In another blink of an eye, he was already in the shadows.
The next moment, Tian Youfang only felt the light around him flying.
The landing point of every step is between the shadows, which appear from time to time, and the surrounding scenery seems to fly away.
Incredibly fast!
There was only one thought in my mind for a moment.
This person is definitely not Tong Qianjin!
Tong Qianjin's martial arts are very powerful, but his body skills are a bit clumsy. How could he have such exquisite Qinggong!
As soon as the thoughts in his mind reached this point, the surrounding scenery suddenly stopped. He rolled his eyes and found that the two people had returned to Jiang Ran's residence.
There was a click, the sound of the door closing.
Jiang Ran casually put the person on the ground, looked around, and spotted a large box. He opened it and saw that it was empty, which was perfect for hiding people.
Then he threw Tian Youfang in.
Tian Youfang's lips moved and he made a vague sound.
Jiang Ran smiled:
"I have to go out for a while, please wait for me here for a while.
“We’ll talk in detail when we come back later…
"But before that, I advise you not to make any noise.
"If someone visits my residence at night and finds you...then the situation will be difficult to predict. You are also a smart person, so don't cause trouble for yourself."
Tian Youfang's mind turned around and he knew that Jiang Ran was right.
At this time, those who visited Jiang Ran's residence at night were either looking for the bronze vat or gold.
Seeing that he is such a big living person, how can he expect these thieves to rescue him with good intentions?
Or maybe they gave themselves a chance to recover their jaws and tell them that Tong Qianjin was a fake.
Everyone was treated like a monkey by him?
This is probably not feasible.
And Jiang Ran has not killed him so far, so he may not have malicious intentions. At least for now, he still has a chance.
Thinking of this, he nodded hard and expressed that he would cooperate.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Ran also smiled with satisfaction:
"Very good... have a good rest, we will talk later."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Ran closed the big box.
Then his body swayed out of the window and headed west.
When he came to the base of the west wall, he did not approach rashly. Instead, he stood in the shadow and looked around.
On the surface, there is no one here.
Then he listened with bated breath...
There are some people in this world who are very talented. They may not be very good at internal strength, but they are experts at hiding themselves.
Even if the internal strength is far superior to that of the other party, if you don't listen carefully, it will be difficult to detect where the other party is hiding.
And for this purpose, some people have specially developed some extraordinary methods.
For example, the Sou Shen Dharma of the Sou Shen Sect is this way.
This martial art specializes in detecting hidden people around you.
At that time, Liao Chengfeng used this method to find Mrs. Wu hiding behind a tree.
If Jiang Ran's Creation Zhengxin Sutra hadn't been able to resist the invasion of all external evils, he would have been found by this God-searching method.
It's a pity that Jiang Ran only got the latent shadow magic step from Liao Chengfeng, and he didn't get the skill of searching for gods. Otherwise, there would be no need for him to listen carefully.
However, the Hidden Shadow Magic Step is an excellent breath-containing technique.
The pros and cons of the two are hard to say.
Now after hearing this, I immediately realized that there was a person hiding on both sides of the surroundings.
Jiang Ran turned around and quietly came up behind a person.
I saw the man lurking quietly, looking at the old willow tree outside the wall, his expression extremely focused.
Jiang Ran pondered for a moment, then asked in a low voice:
