After Jiang Ran finished speaking, several people at the table fell silent.
The old drunkard glanced at Jiang Ran:
"Are you suspecting that this matter was also Qi Tianyue's handiwork?
"This is quite interesting...
"Your identity must not be a secret to Qi Tianyue.
"On the Demon Cult side, they must have some suspicions, not to mention the Sword Holder Division.
"If Qi Tianyue deliberately revealed the fact that these traitors from the Demon Sect appeared in Jinyang Mansion...
"Once you know about this, you must take action.
"Otherwise, you will meet the Sword Holder with suspicion."
Jiang Ran nodded slightly:
"Besides this... there is another possibility.
"That is, I will take you to eradicate this group of demon sect members in advance.
"Even if it doesn't work, I will keep an eye on them, follow their clues, and then find the lair of Tiantianque, and finally strike first!!"
When he said this, Mr. Tang took a deep breath:
"If this is the case, there is no need to take a helpless old drunkard...
"When the time comes, Qi Tianyue can take advantage of the situation and come over to kill him.
"But... would this person really be so cautious?"
"meeting!"
The old drunkard was determined.
When Tang Yuanwai heard this, he nodded:
"If that's the case, then we won't go his way.
"Let's wait for them here... Every extra day we wait, this old guy's injuries will recover a little bit. I want to see if he is afraid of abandoning Tianyue?"
"If you are afraid, you probably won't be afraid."
Jiang Ran tapped his fingers lightly on the table:
"Besides, I have to let him succeed a little bit in this plan.
"There is not only the battle between the Demon Cult and Tianshang Que, but also the trust between me and the Sword Holder.
"I already told the people in the Sword Holding Department yesterday...
"I plan to let the demon sect compete with the snipe and clam in the sky so that the fisherman who holds the sword can benefit."
Tang Huayi's eyes widened:
"You obviously want to eat from three families."
"Which three?"
Jiang Ran gave Tang Huayi a funny look.
“The first one, Tianshangque!
"The second family, traitors from the Demonic Cult!
"The third family, the Sword Holding Division!"
Tang Huayi didn't even think about it, so he plucked his fingers and said:
"I guess you want to take advantage of the situation... If Qi Tianyue really has such an idea, it will definitely expose the flaws of those people, so that people snooping in the dark can find clues and discover the lair of Tianshangque.
"Once this place is determined, you can join forces vertically and horizontally.
"Using the disciples of the seven sects, we, as well as the people from the sword-wielding department, besieged them together.
"But you won't go to this battle by yourself... you will squat beside Uncle Duan, waiting for Qi Tianyue to come.
"As long as Qi Tianyue dares to come, he will die.
"In this way, the traitors of the Demon Sect can only become meat on the chopping board.
"After a lot of hard work, all the traitors of the Demonic Cult will be captured in the sky!"
"Then what do you think, Sword Holder?"
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows.
"Does that need to be said? You attach so much importance to the Sword Holding Division's business and the identity of the sword catcher. After this battle, you have made such a great contribution, and within the Sword Holding Division, everything will surely rise.
"You can even break into the Sword Holding Department if you want."
When Tang Huayi said this, he suddenly smiled cruelly:
"The Sword Master's hands and eyes are astute. If he can create such a place in the imperial court, you can only imagine what kind of person is behind him.
"We can use this to penetrate the upper echelons of Jin Chan, and even into the royal family.
"When the time comes in the future, we can even kill the emperor and let you, brother-in-law, take over the throne.
"When the time comes, my sister will be the queen, I will be the concubine, my father will be the general, and my mother will be the first-grade imperial concubine!"
This means that in the Tang family compound, everyone is surrounded by demon sect disciples.
Otherwise, capture Tang Huayi in another place and kill her ten times before she has the shame to cry out for injustice.
"I mean, don't talk nonsense."
Mrs. Tang nodded repeatedly when she heard the first words, but finally couldn't help but frown when she heard the second words. She felt that the little girl was a little too shameless.
On the other hand, Tang Yuan was overjoyed, feeling that his daughter's plan... seemed entirely feasible!
Jiang Ran reached out and pinched his eyebrows:
"What I said in front of you can be regarded as human words, but what nonsense is there in the back?"
"Ah, brother-in-law, don't you want to be the emperor? Then we will hold the emperor hostage and order the princes."
The meaning of Tang painting is astonishing.
"Shut up."
Jiang Ran took a steamed bun and stuffed it into Tang Huayi's mouth, and then said:
"But what she said before is indeed what I thought... Mr. Tang, old drunkard, what do you think?"
Tang Yuanwai thought for a while and said:
"There will be no problem if I take action...but I am worried, will someone recognize my origin?
"I'm afraid it will cause you trouble."
Jiang Ran smiled:
"I have two insurances on this matter.
"First, if someone recognizes your origins, I can refuse to admit it.
"As long as I say that I don't know your identities, you are here just to deal with the traitors of the Demon Sect. Seeing my reputation, you cooperated with me and planned to use me to find their hiding place.
"Judging from my current reputation, no one will think it is too outrageous to say this.
"When Huayi was with me, he always presented himself as Li Tianxin.
"So, we won't associate her with the Tang family in Cangzhou Prefecture.
"The most important thing is that when you act, you must change your appearance. Even if you are recognized by others, you can declare in public that you are here to deal with the traitors of the Demonic Cult and have nothing to do with other people.
"Thus it supports my subsequent words.
"As for this, I have already had some exchanges with people from the Sword Holding Department before.
"The main idea is that there is no confrontation between the Demon Sect and Tianshang Que. The people of the Demon Sect came to Jinyang Mansion just to destroy Tianshang Que's plan.
"When this incident comes out, your words will confirm this.
"So I have a lot of confidence that I can convince them.
"But this is still the first insurance...after you really can't hide your identity.
“As for the second one...it’s still unclear what the situation will be at the moment.
"We need to make a plan here, and then I can go to the inn to gain something.
"If the accident over there didn't happen, just relying on the ordinary disciples among the seven sects... it will probably not be easy to recognize your origins."
This is evident from the fact that even the chief disciple of the seven sects, Fu Yusheng, who pretended to be a member of the Demon Sect, could not tell.
Tang Yuanwai nodded slightly:
"If it really doesn't work, let's take action first and be more cautious.
"Unless you meet a real master... don't expose your martial arts skills.
"If it is really necessary, then we should move him to a place where no one is around and then fight."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
Tang Shiqing said to Jiang Ran:
"Then let me stay with you. If it is as you expect, it will be more dangerous here."
Jiang Ran shook his head slightly:
"If you don't go, and I won't go, it won't work after all.
"The meaning of the painting needs to be disguised as me through the great transformation of heaven and earth. If you and I are together, you can deceive Qi Tianyue's ears and eyes."
"But……"
Tang Shiqing was still very worried. Qi Tianyue was an unusual person, and there were only two masters and apprentices, Jiang Ran and Jiang Ran left here.
Although Jiang Ran's martial arts skills are unparalleled, he is not completely safe.
Instead, Tang Huayi chuckled:
"Sister, don't worry. My brother-in-law is scheming and sinister. I have followed him in the world so far. Except for our family's loss at the beginning, I have never seen anyone bully him at other times."
Jiang Ran felt awkward hearing this.
I couldn't help but stretched out two fingers and pinched Tang Huayi's cheek:
"What does it mean to be cunning and sinister?
"I'm known as the Jingshen Dao Jiang Daxia by people in the world. His reputation is well-known far and wide. He has never killed anyone by mistake since his debut... Do you understand?"
Jiang Ranzhi pinched Tang Huayi until her cheeks turned red, her eyes filled with tears, and she begged for mercy before letting her go.
Then he said to Tang Shiqing:
"Although her words are rough, her reasoning is not rough. But it's good if you keep it like this...
"If you are not worried at all, then it is others who should be worried."
When Tang Shiqing heard this, she glanced at Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi and said softly:
"Isn't Yiyi pretending to be you just to deceive Qi Tianyue?"
"Of course not."
Jiang Ran smiled and said:
"Qi Tianyue knows us very well, and it is not difficult to discover this.
"He must know that I am here, guarding his mentor.
"But... although he won't underestimate me, he won't think too highly of me either.
"He will definitely come and kill me personally."
When Tang Shiqing heard this, she nodded slowly:
"Since you have considered everything carefully, there should be nothing wrong.
"In that case, then I'll listen to you.
"However, you must take care of yourself..."
"the same as you."
Jiang Ran smiled softly.
Then Mrs. Tang coughed slightly:
"Eat, eat."
Jiang Ran nodded and looked up at Mrs. Tang.
I don't know why, but I always feel that Mrs. Tang doesn't like me.
But when I thought about it again, it suddenly dawned on me and I didn’t take it seriously anymore.
The things Jiang Ran said at the dinner table still need a certain degree of confirmation.
This confirmation did not come slowly. Near noon, Jiang Ran was still practicing swordsmanship with the old drunkard in the yard. Tian Youfang, who was sent out by him, came back with a look of pride on his face.
"Boss..."
He came to Jiang Ran and spoke subconsciously.
Jiang Ran waved his hand:
"Boss, that's Tong Qianjin, please call me Young Master."
"……yes."
Tian Youfang still felt unaccustomed to it, but he finally clasped his fists:
"Sir, you asked me to go to Zhongnan Lane to investigate. I did find a lot of suspicious traces.
"Not only that, I followed someone out of Jinyang Mansion. Do you know... what I found?"
Jiang Ran turned the broken gold knife in his hand, and the blade buzzed as it passed against the tip of Tian Youfang's nose.
Tian Youfang didn't realize until Jiang Ran's blade stopped. He subconsciously touched his nose and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his nose was still there.
Just listen to Jiang Ran say:
"If you keep showing off, your nose will really be gone."
"yes……"
Tian Youfang did not dare to joke and said quickly:
"To the northwest of Jinyang Mansion, thirty-five miles away, there is a dense forest called Heishui Forest.
"There is a newly built manor in the Blackwater Forest.
"My subordinates followed that man to the manor and took a look...hidden there were all people from Tiantian Que."
After saying these things in one breath, Tian Youfang looked at Jiang Ran.
I want to see the surprise on his face.
It turned out that Jiang Ran only had calmness on his face.
He casually put away the broken gold knife and came to one side.
Chu Yunniang was now wearing a green dress. When she saw him coming, she poured him tea and then served it with both hands. Along with it, she also came with two toes that called Jiang Ranqian and almost dug out the charming eyes of the three rooms and one living room.
This girl is probably very bad at this...
The winking eyes are not only inferior to silk, but mechanically applied, they are also mixed with a bit of murderous intent.
Jiang Ran was speechless for a while. With her appearance, it would be a long and arduous task to rely on this to gain her trust.
After taking the tea cup and taking a sip, Jiang Ran raised his head and looked at the old drunkard:
"how?"
"A little trick."
The old drunkard snorted.
Like many masters, he is probably worried about the pride and arrogance of his disciples.
Even if the disciples clearly know things well, they still have to pretend that they are nothing more than that.
Jiang Ran didn't care, he just smiled and said:
"In this case, it's no longer necessary to delay, Yun Niang, go and ask Miss Tang Er to come over."
"yes."
Chu Yunniang gritted her molar teeth, this person really treated her like a maid.
As I said before...it's just a disguise, so I definitely don't need to serve you.
As a result, now, you are so smooth, and the man's deceitful tongue really believes in your evil deeds.
He scolded Jiang Ran over and over in his mind, but without hesitation, he quickly went to find Tang Huayi.
After Jiang Ran saw her, he didn't say much. The two of them changed their faces slightly and left the Tang family.
Sneaking all the way, he soon returned to the inn.
After Jiang Ran returned to his room, he called Li Tianyu over.
Li Tianyu only saw Jiang Ran, but not Tang Huayi, and immediately bowed:
"Brother, you are back."
Jiang Ran nodded:
"How was it last night?"
Li Tianyu took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Ran:
"Hu Nan and a group of seven disciples, two from each group, left Jinyang Mansion last night.
"This is the letter Hu Nan asked to give to you before he left."
Jiang Ran pinched it casually and found a hard lump in the letter. He opened it and poured it out. It was the jade cicada.
He took out the letter paper and read the ten lines at a glance, with a smile on his lips:
"It seems I can't wait any longer..."
The letter was given to him by the eldest princess.
The letter Hu Nan was asked to send was to the eldest princess. The content in it was not complicated. It simply stated that the masters of the seven sects had not returned yet, and that Jiang Ran couldn't escape the matter of the Jinyang Mansion Demon Sect and Tianshang Que.
The eldest princess needs to pay a lot of attention to matters such as Kaishen and Huweiguan.
And this reply letter is the eldest princess telling Jiang Ran that she will do this matter herself, but in this way, she will take away all the masters who were originally meant to be left to Jiang Ran.
This is actually Jiang Ran's second insurance for the identity of Tang Yuanwai and others.
The disciples of the seven sects have not appeared in the world for many years because of the demon sect, so most of them only hear about the demon sect in name but not in reality.
It is too difficult to identify him through martial arts.
Li Tianyu was born in Wushenglou, but he didn't even remember Wushenglou.
Don't worry about what he will recognize...
Not to mention Tian Miaomiao, who clearly remembers all the lines in her storybook, "Demon martial arts? What is that? I don't know!"
Therefore, the biggest problem is that the experts on the eldest princess' side may recognize the origins of Tang Yuanwai and others because of their extensive knowledge and the fact that the demon sect is not rigid.
As long as they don't get involved... except for Mr. Tang and their situation, there will most likely not be any mistakes.
After Jiang Ran returned to the inn yesterday, he found that Dong Qingcheng and others still hadn't sent back half of the note, so he thought of killing two birds with one stone.
Let the eldest princess look for it...it's a matter of Huweiguan and Jinyang Mansion. As the eldest princess of the dynasty, she has no shirking responsibility.
And once she travels, she realizes that Huwei Pass is dangerous. The chief disciples of the seven sects have never returned, so naturally she needs to bring more people.
Then it is very likely that all the masters will be taken away.
Now everything is as Jiang Ran expected.
"It's just...isn't it a little too smooth?"
Jiang Ran touched his chin, and without going too far to scare himself, he said to Li Tianyu:
"In that case, let's call all the disciples of the seven sects who are still in the inn.
"Let them gather in the courtyard, I have something to tell you."
"good."
Li Tianyu agreed and turned around to go out.
After he left, Tang Huayi came out from behind the bed and glanced at Jiang Ran:
"Aren't you going to use Ke Beisheng to do this?
"Nearly all the people over there can be used."
Jiang Ran smiled:
"It has been arranged... After breakfast this morning, I asked Sun Fu to find it.
"Ke Beisheng went to Liuyuan with us. It was originally a hook I placed in Liuyuan to prevent the big fish in Liuyuan from escaping.
"I asked Sun Fu to send him a message. He will stay outside the city tonight and he will lead his people to follow you.
"Let's fight into the sky together."
"Plus my dad and the others..."
Tang Huayi nodded: "So far, almost all the available power has been used. The situation... shouldn't change anymore, right?"
"It's hard to say."
Jiang Ran said: "Qi Tianyue's planning is all based on the imagination. If you are not careful, you may be tricked. So, don't let down your vigilance.
"Although they will most likely go to the Tang family to find me and the old drunkard.
"However, there is a possibility that I will stay there...
"If this is really the case, if you feel that you are invincible, you must leave.
"Take care of yourself, that's the best thing to do."
"okay, I get it."
Tang Huayi came to Jiang Ran and reached out to pinch Jiang Ran's eyebrows:
"You also have to be careful. Whenever they come, they will never be ordinary people.
"Although I know you a little better than my sister, I believe you will be fine.
“But this time the opponent is different from usual.
"It's impossible to say that I'm not worried at all..."
At this moment, Tang Huayi was less showy and more considerate of his little daughter.
The sight of her so close made Jiang Ran suddenly feel the urge to hug her.
If he thought this way, he would actually do it.
Tang Huayi was stunned for a moment, then hugged Jiang Ran's head and hugged him:
"Then I'll go."
After saying that, he let go of Jiang Ran. The sound of his body's bones cracking and vibrating could be heard, and his face turned and transformed into Jiang Ran's appearance.
Jiang Ran hung the golden knife on her waist and gave another instruction:
