The fact is that Jiang Ran probably has no long-term intentions.
After hearing what the eldest princess said, Mr. Jin was a little confused.
Jiang Ran was surprised:
"This girl, I have never met you, why do you say this?
"Master Jin, is this your relative, friend, and elder?"
"Ah...this is my little aunt."
Mr. Jin quickly said:
"My dear Jiang, please forgive me, my little aunt has a special status, and her temperament... her temperament is a bit unpredictable. You, please don't be the same as her."
When the eldest princess heard this, she almost became angry.
Jiang Ran couldn't help but feel happy.
Happy and nodding at the same time:
"Okay, okay, I don't know her the same way."
Mr. Jin was a little confused by Jiang Ran, but he felt that this time he saw Jiang Ran, his attitude was much better than last time.
He immediately started laughing too.
The eldest princess looked at Jiang Ran with a dark face:
"How do you plan to get to know me?"
When Mr. Jin heard this, his face turned green, and he quickly shook his head and tail at the eldest princess, reminding her not to reveal her identity.
The eldest princess glared at her nephew angrily:
"You didn't notice, do we know each other?"
"ah?"
Shan Cong was stunned and looked at Jiang Ran in surprise.
Jiang Ran smiled:
"Just kidding Mr. Jin, Mr. Jin, don't pay attention.
"I am the sword catcher. The eldest princess happens to be in Jinyang Mansion now. I met her at the Sword Holding Department before."
"……ah."
Mr. Jin opened his mouth in a daze, thought for a moment and said:
"That's right, the Sword Holder was created after my aunt's strong suggestion.
"Jiang Daxia, you are a knife hunter. So, you are her subordinate?"
"...I dare not say that."
The eldest princess said with a dark face:
"How can I dare to be Jiang Daxia's superior officer?
"I have to ask Master Jiang to show his dignity and punish me less..."
"Cough cough cough..."
Jiang Ran was speechless for a while:
"In front of the children, what nonsense are you talking about?"
The eldest princess's face suddenly turned red.
What she said was just to try to seduce Jiang Ran.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ran was so shameless... and said such misleading words directly in front of Shan Cong.
Shan Cong... The eldest princess thinks there is a saying that goes well, the more a person lacks something, the more he has to be called something.
This kid just lacks some intelligence.
Of course, it is also possible that all his intelligence was sucked away by his name.
He immediately said:
"Don't talk nonsense... This child has been stupid since he was a child. He can tell what is a joke and what is serious."
Shan Cong looked at Jiang Ran, then at the eldest princess, for a long time:
"ah?"
Jiang Ran felt that the eldest princess was probably right.
He did not continue speaking, but looked at Wu Di on one side:
"Brother Wu."
"Master Jiang, I haven't seen you for a few days. Are you okay?"
Wu Di also stood up and hugged Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran smiled:
"As you said, didn't I see you the night before yesterday?"
"ah?"
Wu Di looked confused.
Jiang Ran felt that this man probably stayed with Shan Cong for a little longer and became dull.
Then he coughed and grinned:
"Damn it, I think you are quite capable, are you willing to be my lackey?"
“!!!!”
Wu Di's eyes widened.
Including the old slave next to him who had been thinking about whether he should kneel down and salute the eldest princess, he also stayed on the spot when he heard this.
"Tong Qianjin!?"
Wu Di blurted out, then slapped his forehead:
"Let me just say, Tong Qianjin is so arrogant and domineering, why was he so talkative in front of me that night?
"It turns out that there is no Tong Qianjin at all, but Jiang Daxia... This, this is really offending.
"Speaking of which, I have never thanked Master Jiang for his help that night.
"It's a pity... that this great situation was ruined by me.
"Ana...he still ran away."
Jiang Ran also looked surprised, pondered for a moment and said:
"After that night, I had other important matters and didn't stay in Liuyuan much.
"Later, I asked someone to leave a letter for you... However, due to the fire in Liuyuan, this matter could not be done. Unexpectedly, there would be twists and turns later...
"It doesn't matter if Tian Youfang runs away. Brother Wu, it's good that you are safe and sound."
Wu Di sighed:
"Made Master Jiang laugh...
"That person you talk about is actually an elder brother of mine. He is truly an amazingly talented person.
“He is also a role model for our group of brothers of the same generation.
"But I didn't expect that once I entered the devil's way... Now, although my clan's belongings have been recovered, if I don't capture this person, I... I will be unwilling after all.
"Earlier, I was still thinking about where to find the boy Qianjin to fulfill the promise of that year.
"I didn't expect it to be Daxia Jiang... This is great.
"If I can work under Jiang Daxia for a year, it will definitely be of great benefit to me."
"Brother Wu said something serious."
Jiang Ran waved his hand gently:
"The one-year agreement is just an agreement between Tong Qianjin and Brother Wu.
"And the real Tong Qianjin has died long ago.
"If you want to join me, we can travel together arm in arm... but you don't dare to say anything about what my subordinates are doing."
"If Daxia Jiang doesn't dislike it, I will naturally be willing to do it."
Wu Di cupped his fists and bowed, and Jiang Ran also bowed in return.
The eldest princess looked at these two people and asked Shan Cong in a low voice:
"What is the origin of this Wu Di?"
"Ah...I don't know."
Shan Cong said subconsciously, and then added as if he remembered something:
"By the way, they seem to be from the Di tribe."
“!!!!”
The eldest princess's expression changed.
I couldn't help but look back at Wu Di.
Wu Di heard their answers and knew that this person was the eldest princess of the dynasty.
He immediately bowed to greet him.
The eldest princess nodded slightly, glanced at Jiang Ran again, and said softly:
"Now that I have found this kid, let him send me back.
"I will let you know when you return to Beijing."
"Eldest Princess, walk slowly."
Jiang Ran clasped his fists slightly.
Only then did Shan Cong realize that they were planning to separate. Although he was unwilling to do so, he did not dare to go against it, so he had to say goodbye to Wu Di. Then, the old slave helped the eldest princess, and the three of them drifted away.
Jiang Ran and Wu Di did not stay here longer, but walked in another direction.
But after a while, we arrived in front of a large courtyard.
I knocked on the door knocker and the door opened quickly.
This is Tang Yuan's second residence in Jinyang Mansion.
Although it is not as big as the previous one, it is still very impressive.
Sun Fu quickly received the notice and came out. When he saw Jiang Ran and two people with him, his expression paused and he spoke softly:
"Uncle, you are back.
"These two distinguished guests are..."
Wu Di was stunned when he heard this and asked Jiang Ran:
"Who is my uncle?"
"..."
Jiang Ran didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only say:
"The girl in this family is my unmarried wife, that's the relationship."
"oh!!"
Wu Di suddenly realized.
Jiang Ran smiled and said to Sun Fu:
"This is a friend I made in the world of martial arts.
"Butler Sun, please arrange a place for them to stay. Well, one room or two rooms?"
The latter sentence was naturally addressed to Wu Di.
Wu Di smiled:
"One will do."
Jiang Ran glanced at Mrs. Wu, thoughtfully.
This woman was probably really made into a puppet by Wu Di.
Although Jiang Ran didn't know what a Gu Puppet was, it seemed reasonable that no matter what fate a person like Madam Wu fell into.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran nodded to Sun Fu.
Sun Fu agreed and called two more people to arrange for Wu Di to stay.
Then he led Jiang Ran to the front hall.
In addition to Member Tang, Mrs. Tang, Shi Qinghuayi, Ye Jingxue, Chu Yunniang and others were all there... What surprised Jiang Ran was that even Yan Wushuang didn't run away.
Sitting there chatting with Mr. Tang, the two of them seemed to have known each other for a long time.
The conversation was very interesting...so much so that when Jiang Ran came in, neither of them stopped talking.
Jiang Ran looked at the poetic and picturesque sisters, found a place to sit down, and searched with his eyes.
Tang Huayi let out a big yawn:
"The two of them were exchanging business experiences...it was so boring that I almost fell asleep."
"I mean, don't be rude in front of your father."
Tang Shiqing spoke softly.
"oh!"
Tang Huayi quickly straightened her back, like a spear.
But soon, her straight spine drooped.
Once again, I fell into a state of listlessness.
Jiang Ran smiled when he saw this and turned to look at Mr. Tang:
"Executive member Tang, where is my master?"
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Tang Yuan, who was originally eloquent but didn't notice his voice, suddenly became speechless.
The two poetic and artistic people looked at each other and turned their eyes elsewhere.
Jiang Ran had no choice but to focus on Ye Jingxue.
Ye Jingxue shook her head:
"I do not know either."
Jiang Ran looked at Mr. Tang again:
"Executive member Tang...Did my master leave again?"
"this……"
Member Tang was silent for a moment and smiled bitterly:
"We haven't seen him since we came back.
"As for whether he left or not... I dare not make any judgment lightly."
After Tang Shiqing heard what he said, she subconsciously looked at Jiang Ran, fearing that his mood would be disturbed.
But Jiang Ran calmly took the tea cup, used the cup lid to skim the tea leaves, took a sip, then exhaled and gave a wry smile:
"Why are you all looking at me like this?
"It's not just this time that this old bastard left without saying goodbye...
"I'm used to it.
"Actually, after I separated from him tonight, I haven't felt at ease in my heart.
"Now that I know he is really gone, he has actually fallen to the ground.
"Okay, just leave, what can I do...the legs are on his body, hey, they are on his body.
"Let's see if the legs can continue to grow on his body next time we meet."
Tang Yuanwai felt his knees were a little cold and said softly:
"Don't worry too much.
"His martial arts skills are unparalleled. No matter where he goes, there will be no problems."
"……kindness."
Jiang Ran nodded lightly:
"Commissioner Tang, please ask Sun Fu to help me run an errand and go to the blacksmith shop to make me a wrought copper rod.
"A little thicker and heavier than usual, preferably about a hundred pounds..."
Officer Tang was speechless for a while. Was he so eager to break the old drunkard's legs?
But he still nodded and really asked Sun Fu to go.
After all, this is the young master's order.
In comparison, the old drunkard is nothing.
If the young master doesn't continue to fight, he will say hello, and the demon sect's disciples will come out in full force, determined to break the old drunkard's legs.
Jiang Ran just vented his grievances a little bit.
Turning back, he looked at Yan Wushuang:
"Yan Huishou..."
Yan Wu looked at Jiang Ran with drooped eyelids:
"I heard that you have something to do with me...what do you want?"
"It's nothing, I just want to ask you, how is the sales of my antidote pill?"
"not bad……"
Yan Wushuang said calmly:
"I can split the accounts with you next year."
"good."
Jiang Ran smiled:
"I just hope that Yan Huishou will remember... I won't sell my things to Tianshangque, nor to those evil sects in the world."
"..."
Yan Wushuang knew what Jiang Ran meant.
When Jiang Ran found himself in the dungeon under Liuyuan, he knew the purpose of his trip to Liuyuan.
So she pondered for a moment and said:
"You can't sell your things to them, but we can sell them other things.
"That's why I'm there...
"It's a pity that there are people in Liuyuan who can't make the decision.
"I plan to stay there and wait for someone who can make the decision.
"But I didn't expect that the person who could make the decision didn't wait, but the hero Jiang came."
Jiang Ran smiled:
"If nothing else, we are quite destined to each other.
"And now, Yan Huishou's opportunity to make money seems to be coming again."
Yan Wushuang looked at Jiang Ran with his eyes.
Jiang Ran chuckled:
"Okay, I'm just here to have a little chat and reminisce about old times.
"But it seems that Yan Huishou is not very interested, and he is quite prejudiced against me, so I won't have many guests...
"Yan Huishou, please do as you please."
"You let me go?"
Yan Wushuang was stunned.
Jiang Ran was a little surprised:
"Does Yan Huishou plan to stay...for lunch?"
"That's not necessary."
Yan Wushuang stood up and hugged Mr. Tang:
"Farewell."
"please."
Mr. Tang stood up and waved his hands to see the guest off.
Jiang Ran picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea, not paying attention to the look Yan Wushuang looked at him.
By the time he put down the tea cup, the person had already left.
"This Yan Wushuang... is serious about you and we don't owe her anything, so why bother with such a gesture?"
Tang Huayi snorted, his words full of dissatisfaction.
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment and shook his head slightly:
"Most of them are people who can't help themselves, so there's no need to worry about it."
When he finished speaking, he paused slightly:
"Wait for a while, then you can go back to the inn with me..."
When Jiang Ran said this, he glanced at Tang Shiqing again.
Tang Shiqing said immediately:
"Can I come along?"
Jiang Ran nodded:
"I'm afraid you don't want to."
"Of course I am willing."
Tang Shiqing said quickly.
"Then let's go together."
Jiang Ran said:
"In two days, I plan to go to Beijing."
"Entering Beijing?"
Tang Yuanwai was slightly startled and frowned:
"The capital is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed together, and it is unpredictable... If you go there, you must be careful.
"We can't follow openly, we can only follow secretly."
Jiang Ran shook his head:
"There is no need to secretly... Except for Mr. Tang, I'm afraid I have to trouble you with something."
Tang Yuanwai smiled when he heard this:
"These are serious words. If you have anything to do, just give me your instructions."
Jiang Ran pondered slightly and then said:
"I heard the eldest princess describe her experience earlier..."
He started with this and roughly recounted what happened to the eldest princess.
Finally he said:
"The person who took action against the eldest princess should be Jun Hezai.
"And the person who was killed halfway...I suspect...is...your leader."
When Tang Yuanwai heard this, his expression changed a little:
"The leader has not returned yet...it turns out that he has been at Huweiguan Pass all along.
"But why haven't you come back by now?"
"This is what I want Mr. Tang to do."
Jiang Ran said:
"I always have an indescribable feeling... I'm afraid it won't be easy for your leader to come back this time.
"You need to spread your hands and check it out.
"Huwei Pass is now under the control of the Qing Kingdom, and this kind of pass is even more heavily guarded. If you want to investigate, I'm afraid it won't be easy. You have to put a lot of effort into this aspect.
"Of course, it would be better if I was just worrying too much."
Tang Yuanwai nodded:
"Okay...just leave this matter to me."
"In addition, regardless of whether the old leader is safe or not, I would like to invite you all to join the Qing Kingdom."
Jiang Ran said softly:
"I don't know when we will leave."
"Is it related to this visit to Beijing?"
Tang Yuanwai hesitated for a moment, looked at Ye Jingxue again, and said in a low voice:
"I'm afraid there will be dangers within the capital.
"The relationship between us and the imperial court..."
Jiang Ran nodded lightly:
"This is also the reason why I want to enter Beijing.
"It's not just Jin Chan and Qing Guo... I want to know what happened back then, so I have to check it out myself."
Tang Yuanwai sighed softly:
"It doesn't matter, with your martial arts skills and the poetic and artistic charm at your side, I expect that even if you encounter any danger, you can avert the danger.
"I immediately started investigating the leader's affairs."
"good."
Jiang Ran nodded, stood up, and said goodbye to Mr. Tang.
With a poetic mood, Chu Yunniang and the others returned to the inn first.
The seven disciples in the inn have not returned. Zhao Ansheng and others are at the government office, discussing matters with Guan Changqing and Fu Yin.
Jiang Ran didn't get involved and spent his days leisurely.
There is not much to say about this day, and it is already evening in the blink of an eye.
After dinner, Jiang Ran had just returned to the room when he heard a knock on the door.
When Jiang Ran heard this movement, his heart skipped a beat.
He stood up and opened the door.
Tang Shiqing, half of her face covered, was quietly standing outside the door, looking at herself quietly.
The snow stopped in the evening.
The wind is still cold, mixed with the coolness of snow.
But the sky is already filled with stars, twinkling and twinkling, surrounding the moonlight, it can be said that the sky is filled with brilliance.
However, the stars in the eyes of the woman in front of him were even better than the starlight in the sky.
In a daze, the memory of that night in the Tang family came to mind again.
Jiang Ran felt a little nervous in his heart, and he said softly:
"How did you come?"
"Somehow..."
The voice of Tang poetry is like ethereal flowing water, which can ripple into people's hearts:
