Chapter 226 Jiang Yi’s Confidence
“I didn’t see any red and pink skulls?”
Jiang Shouzhong carefully recalled the situation of the altar in the underground palace at that time, and said to Nightingale, “Then there were There is only one bull demon, and there is nothing on the altar.”
“Maybe you didn’t notice.”
Nightingale believes that the information about the bull-headed masked man is not false.
In the Tianying organization, the other party is considered a person with a high reputation, and there has never been any problem with the information provided.
Jiang Shouzhong scratched his head.
Maybe I really didn’t pay attention... I was only focused on having an in-depth communication with Meng Niang.
"Then why didn't the monster attack me?"
Jiang Shouzhong asked in confusion.
Nightingale said: "The pink skeleton was suppressed on the altar, so it transferred all its cultivation to the bull demon, so at most it can only hide itself and cannot come out to harm you."
That's it.
Jiang Shouzhong finally figured it out at this moment.
No wonder in the underground palace at that time, even Meng Niang was wondering why the cultivation level of the first-generation bull demon was so high.
“One more thing.”
Nightingale's eyes flickered and she said slowly, "The former prefect He Benquan has come to Qingzhou."
What! ?
Jiang Shouzhong’s expression changed suddenly.
Although he analyzed the files and found out that He Benquan was not dead and had been rescued by the imperial concubine, he did not know where he was hiding.
I didn’t expect this guy to come to Qingzhou on his own initiative.
Thinking of the Anhe Village case, Jiang Shouzhong clenched his fists and asked, "Where is this guy?"
Nightingale shook her head, "I don't know yet, but on the day you robbed the dragon demon, he I have assassinated Prince Zhou, and I guess I came to Qingzhou this time to take revenge on Prince Xiemo for killing the donkey. I will investigate in secret and let you know if there are any clues."
"Assassinating the prince... is a ruthless person. Ah."
Jiang Shouzhong was very surprised.
Nightingale caressed the golden dragon tattoo on the man's back and said lightly: "This green dragon is of extraordinary significance. It is the only monster with a dragon totem. It can be used to conquer the remaining dragons in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The demon clan.
Since it is with you, it means that what the prince got is not orthodox. But you are not in a hurry to go to Shiwanda Mountain to conquer the dragon demon clan for the time being. Let Prince Bai do his work first. When the time comes, I will let you know.
It is said that Qu Hongling is ready to rectify the Tianyao Sect and conquer other forces. You and her will definitely have a struggle by then... In short, I will try my best to help you establish a force. "
Well, this is forcing me to fight for the world, right?
Jiang Shouzhong said with a smile: "Don't worry, Sister Nightingale, you said before that you wanted me to gain fame, and I have already started. And I also gave myself a very bluffing and awesome nickname, called..."
"I can push eight hundred opponents without any opponent, I can support the sun and the moon with my hands, and I can fight against all the invincible opponents in the world, right? . ”
"Am I already so famous?" Jiang Shouzhong was surprised.
It was okay if the man didn’t say anything. When he mentioned Nightingale, he became angry and knocked the other man’s chestnut, “I’m not asking you to gain fame by asking you to be a fool. What’s the matter with the Eight Hundred Suns and Moons? In the Master of Mingjian Mountain You're like a fool. Even if you're not embarrassed, I'm embarrassed."
Jiang Shouzhong was very hurt. "I think it's good."
"You're such a big-headed guy!"
Nightingale wanted to knock the opponent's chestnut again, but the man dodged it.
Nightingale snorted coldly and said calmly: "Next, I will build momentum for you. There may be people who cause trouble for you in the future. If they come, you can beat them up until they can't run away. Believe me, this will be good for you."< br>
Jiang Shouzhong smiled and said: "Of course I believe Sister Nightingale. By the way, Sister Nightingale, that Li Guanshi is looking for you more closely. You have to be careful. This woman is in the realm of heaven and human beings. If she catches you, you will I want to run away."
"I know what she wants, and I will go to see her in person if necessary."
Nightingale said in a low voice, looking at the sky outside the window, "I'll go first. Let's go, be careful."
"Wait, I have a gift for you."
Jiang Shouzhong took out a jet-black short blade more than two feet long from the cabinet and handed it to the other party, "I picked it from the Sword House of Famous Sword Villa."
Nightingale took the short blade, her beautiful eyes shining, "The Hidden Mist Blade?"
Jiang Shouzhong smiled and said: "I picked seven in total. I think this one is suitable for you. If you don't like it, you can pick one yourself."
"Here. Ran Qingchen also gave it?”
“I gave it to Xia He and the boss.”
Nightingale put away the short blade and said softly: "I still say the same thing, it's okay for you to like other women, but Ran Qingchen..."
"Sister Nightingale, you are worrying too much, I don't like her." Jiang Shouzhong shrugged.
Looking at the handsome man in front of her who had been with her day and night for two months, Nightingale said softly: "Maybe I don't know you as well as your sister Ye, but I have seen you when you were most vulnerable.
Brother Jiang, sometimes feelings are beyond your control. Maybe inadvertently, you already have the shadow of someone in your heart, but you are not aware of it.
You two are actually. It's a bit like, you feel you owe her, and you always feel guilty for her, and she feels she owes you, and you always want to make amends... In this case, it's easy for you to have feelings."
Jiang Shouzhong waved his hand, "You are overthinking Sister Nightingale. Qingchen has her own ideals..."
"But we still have to face reality after all."
Nightingale interrupted Jiang Shouzhong. , Youyou said, "Brother Xiao Jiang, I remind you every time not to have a relationship with Ran Qingchen, not because I hate her, on the contrary, I admire and like her very much.
I can reveal to you A little secret, Jiang Wan personally came to my mother to sign the marriage contract between our Mo family and the Ran family. At that time, Ran Qingchen was just born and I was already two years old
My mother. Concealing the truth caused everyone to think that I was a boy. This is why Li Guanshi could never find me.
It can be said that except for my master, everyone in the world thought that Mo Ruye's child was a boy, and Jiang Wan was no exception. So she found my mother and hoped that the two families would get married. "
Jiang Shouzhong frowned and asked, "Does your mother know that Jiang Wan's child is a girl? "
Nightingale nodded slightly, "Of course I know. ”
“I know! ? "
This time Jiang Shouzhong was dumbfounded, "Your mother knew that Jiang Wan's child was a daughter, but she still signed a marriage contract with Jiang Wan? Why? Is she planning to use this engagement to hide the fact that you are a daughter? ”
"Perhaps, in short, this engagement is finalized."
Nightingale said slowly, "And when my mother was dying, she left me a last word that I must go to Marry Ran Qingchen.
At the same time, she also reminded that Jiang Wan left a ruthless sword heart in her daughter's body. Once she reaches the state of love, Ran Qingchen will not be able to be emotional.
< br>Tell me not to fall in love with the eldest daughter of the Ran family. After all, sometimes it’s not just people of the opposite sex who fall in love.
I don’t know what my mother’s purpose is in letting me marry Ran Qingchen. I don't intend to accept it. Even if I rescued you from Anhe Village, I didn't want you to take my place and fulfill my mother's last words.
However, I still let you go later.
Because there are some problems that I couldn’t understand through investigation and thinking, I finally decided to use you to find a dyer. "
Speaking of this, Nightingale sighed,
"This is why I always emphasize to you not to be emotional towards Ran Qingchen. You like her, but she can't like you unless the ruthless sword heart in her body is broken. Otherwise, in the end, it will be you who is sad.
I have an in-depth understanding of the ‘Empty Realm’. It does not erase people’s feelings, but suppresses them...”
After hearing this, Jiang Shouzhong suddenly realized.
No wonder Qingchen always felt a little erratic before. There seemed to be a wall between the two of them. It turned out to be the reason.
But then, the man fell into doubt again.
Coming back from Shura Ancient City this time, Qingchen seemed to have changed.
“In short, I cannot predict emotional matters, I can only remind you as much as possible.”
Nightingale looked directly at the man's face and said in an extremely serious tone, "But having said that, if you really find that you like her at some point, don't worry about anything. Otherwise, you will be more seriously injured if you hesitate."
“I understand.”
Jiang Shouzhong nodded and suddenly asked, “Sister Nightingale, do you like me too.”
Pa!
A chestnut hit the man on the head.
When Jiang Shouzhong came to his senses, there was no woman in the room.
"It's not a bad thing to like me. Why do you get so angry?" Jiang Shouzhong rubbed his head and muttered softly.
“Dong Dong…”
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Shouzhong opened the door and saw Xia He standing outside looking pretty.
——
“Auntie?”
In the study, Ran Qingchen, who was looking through the files, looked at Jiang Yi who appeared at the door, a little surprised.
"Busy?"
Jiang Yi walked into the study with light steps and a sweet smile.
As the clothes fluttered, a wisp of elegant fragrance rushed in, making the room fragrant. For a moment, the room was filled with light.
Ran Qingchen stood up and asked, "Auntie, what can I do?"
Jiang Yi's arrival in Qingzhou was beyond Ran Qingchen's expectations, especially when he was very domineering and lived directly within six doors. This made the woman feel that her aunt deliberately let her subordinates seduce Jiang Mo as before. , to target her.
So even if they were in the same hospital, Ran Qingchen would try to avoid each other.
“Can’t you see my niece if you have nothing to do?”
Jiang Yi sat on the chair minding her own business, her eyes moving, and there was a hint of teasing on her beautiful face.
Ran Qingchen frowned and said helplessly: "Is it possible that my aunt is here to deliberately mock Qingchen again?"
"It turns out that my aunt is so bad in your heart."
< br>Jiang Yi's laughter is like a silver bell, as sweet as the tinkling of spring water. When she was talking and laughing, the plumpness of her chest trembled and trembled, showing off the wonderful curves of a woman.
Ran Qingchen laughed at himself: "It's not that my aunt is bad in Qingchen's heart, but... my aunt will never show the slightest affection to Qingchen. Ever since I can remember, my aunt has never shown any affection to Qingchen." I took the initiative to visit Qingchen, but always made sarcastic remarks when I met him.”
"When you say it like that, it seems to be true."
Jiang Yi's posture was elegant, she raised her wrist casually, brushed back a strand of hair that was scattered on her shoulders, and said with a smile, "It seems that I am right You, my niece, are indeed very unpleasant to see.”
“Tell me, why are you looking for Qingchen?”
Ran Qingchen looked at the other party calmly, “It’s not because of Jiang Mo. Right."
"Correct."
The beautiful woman's eyes moved with a touch of amusement and depth, staring closely at the girl in front of her, as if she was trying to understand her thoughts.
Ran Qingchen’s pretty face changed slightly.
She took a deep breath and sat back on the chair with a cold expression, "Which of your men are you going to send to seduce Jiang Mo this time?"
"The realm of love and space...why? Will it disappear?”
Jiang Yi played with her hair casually, but asked a strange question.
"Auntie, you think it shouldn't disappear?" Ran Qingchen asked.
“Yes.” Jiang Yi smiled.
Ran Qingchen clenched her fists tightly, unable to suppress the anger in her heart any longer, and asked coldly: "Why in the eyes of my aunt, Qingchen should be alone all his life? Why? Auntie thinks that Qingchen is not worthy of love between men and women? Why does auntie not want Qingchen to have a good life? "
Jiang Yi didn't answer, just looked at the girl who was angry with her for the first time.
The lustrous black hair swam gracefully between the woman's delicate fingers, as if it were the most flexible silk thread, reflecting the woman's skin like snow.
"Why don't you answer me?"
Ryan Qingchen's eyes were a little red, and his jade hands clenched the edge of the table with strength on his knuckles. The tone contained three parts of grievance and seven parts of questioning.
After her parents passed away, no one in that family except her grandma really allowed her to experience family affection.
When she learned that she had an aunt, she was filled with joy and hoped to find the warmth of family affection in her. After all, she was her mother’s sister, but reality poured cold water on her again and again. On her face.
She didn't understand why Jiang Yi hated her and her mother.
Although grandma said that the other person actually cares about you deep down, she has never experienced this kind of care.
There is only cynicism, only disgust.
Jiang Yi said calmly: "Isn't this the path you want to choose?"
Ran Qingchen was stunned.
She smiled bitterly and shook her head slightly, and said solemnly: "You know that's not what I asked."
"I know what you asked, but my answer also gave you the answer." Jiang Yi said calmly. He said, "Since you have chosen this path, don't expect to gain much. You should learn to face loss."
Hearing this, Ran Qingchen was a little distracted.
She was silent for a while, looked up at the woman and said:
"I thought so before, but then I realized that I was wrong. I met a sister, She told me that life is full of regrets and losses, so why not try to gain some.”
"So your Empty Realm disappeared?" Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow.
Ran Qingchen shook his head, "I don't know how the realm of love disappeared, but I know that I was wrong before. I will continue to walk on this road, and I will never choose to let go. And refuse. If..."
Ran Qingchen paused and said, "If my destination is the same as my mother's, then so be it."
"I'm not afraid of hurting Jiang Mo. ?”
“I don’t know... I want to be selfish.” Ran Qingchen bit her lip.
"That's it."
Jiang Yi sighed, "It seems that I should have settled the matter earlier when I was in the capital. I'm afraid I might be in some trouble now."
" What's going on?" Ran Qingchen looked confused.
Jiang Yi smiled and said: "Propose marriage to my little Xia He. I have already promised her to marry Jiang Mo."
"No!"
Ran Qingchen slammed the table.
As expected, the other party didn’t have good intentions when he came.
Jiang Yi's right leg was gently folded on top of her left leg, and the black silk stockings made a slight rubbing sound, "Why not? Even if you are not willing to let go now, a man still needs you if he wants to take a concubine. Agree?"
"I...I am his wife! I have the right to agree or not!" Ran Qingchen said, "Besides, Jiang Mo doesn't like her either."
" ?”
Jiang Yi seemed to have heard a big joke, "How about we let them have sex on the bed tonight, and you personally watch from the side?"
Ran Qingchen's pretty face turned red.
She argued: "You must have asked Xia He to seduce Jiang Mo."
Jiang Yi sneered.
Ran Qingchen held the table with both hands, "In short, I will not agree. No matter how much you let your subordinates seduce you, it will be useless."
Because the woman leans forward, the plump figure in front of her body is even more exaggerated due to the pressure of the table, and the ups and downs are like the fluctuations of spring water.
Especially the slightly raised skin on the upper edge seems to be unable to be restrained by the clothing material and wants to come out through the clothing.
Even Jiang Yi was secretly frightened.
This girl is older than me. She grew up on whatever she ate.
Jiang Yi rubbed her brows, stood up and said, "Auntie is just informing you, not asking for your opinion. Jiang Mo will mention it to you when the time comes. Oh, by the way, he should have mentioned it to you a long time ago. ”
Ran Qingchen's face turned slightly pale.
"Let's go, don't disturb Master Ran. He is busy." Jiang Yi walked out of the door leisurely and disappeared.
Ran Qingchen leaned weakly on the back of the chair.
Does Jiang Mo really want to marry Xia He?
Did the adopted sister make a wrong analysis? But she is an experienced widow after all, so it is impossible for her analysis to be wrong.
——
In the room, the girl Xia He looked like a peach blossom with a blush on her face.
Originally, under the instruction of the eldest sister, she planned to say good things about Madam to Jiang Mo, but as she spoke, her clothes became messy.
Then he knelt on the ground in a daze.
Began to learn musical instruments.
The girl who was usually as cold and beautiful as frost and snow, now sheds the coldness that has kept people away from thousands of miles away, and blooms like a cold plum in spring, blooming with a different kind of beauty.
Jiang Shouzhong lifted the girl's hair, squinted and said:
"You said Madam went to ask Qingchen to kiss you. There should be no problem. Qingchen will definitely agree. I understand her...his... Anyway, don't worry, we will get married when we return to the capital..."
"In addition, Miss Qiuye...your wife doesn't want to let her go. This is indeed a bit difficult to deal with. But it's okay, I..."
Jiang Shouzhong clenched his fists, frowned slightly, then relaxed them, and continued, "I'll think of a way. As long as Miss Qiuye is willing, at worst, I can add a pair of chopsticks to the family. Affordable.”
After a long time, Xia He nodded slightly and let out a soft hum in his nose.
The girl stood up and looked at the man without speaking.
The crimson color spreads from the cheeks, and the posture is graceful and charming.
Jiang Shouzhong seemed a little angry when he saw the other party's slightly puffed cheeks. He smiled and poured the girl a cup of tea.
Xia He picked up the tea cup and opened his mouth slightly.
She took out a handkerchief and wiped her lips, then continued the previous topic: "Madam likes to eat sugar cane, bananas, and cucumbers. She is used to not wearing clothes when sleeping, and she also likes to put a quilt under her quilt..."
"No, Why are you telling me so much about my wife?”
Jiang Shouzhong felt very confused.
As soon as this girl came in, she said what was wrong with Madam, she felt like a matchmaker.
“My eldest sister asked me to say that.”
Xia He muttered.
At this moment, Dong Xue's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Second sister, Madam is here!"
Xia He was stunned and quickly adjusted her clothes.
Jiang Shouzhong was so frightened that he lifted up his pants. Before he could fasten his belt, Jiang Yi opened the door and walked in.
Looking at the flustered two people, the woman rolled her eyes and said, "I ran to be the bad guy and helped you get married. You are quite comfortable. Am I disturbing you? How about I Waiting outside for a while? Is that enough time for a cup of tea?”
Xia He blushed, lowered his head and said nothing.
Jiang Shouzhong said sarcastically: "Can't you knock on the door?"
"Knock on what door."
Jiang Yi waved her hand, "Go to your wife's place, now That girl may be crying. Go and comfort her. Anyway, you can discuss marrying Xia He with her. "
Qingchen cried?
Jiang Shouzhong changed his expression, said something to Xia He, and hurried out.
Seeing the man's actions, Jiang Yi secretly said: "These two couples, one pretends to be more serious than the other on the surface, but in fact they care about each other in their hearts."
"Come here Xia He, Madam and you Let's talk."
Jiang Yi sighed slightly, sat on a chair and motioned for Xia He to come to her, and said helplessly, "It was a bit unfavorable at the beginning. I missed the opportunity in the capital, but the girl actually reacted and found out. My man is a treasure, I don’t want to let him go.”
Xia He blinked and hesitated.
Jiang Yi smiled slightly and held the girl in his arms, "But don't worry, things will always be solved. If Jiang Mo is a man, he will settle his wife. If he can't even settle his own wife, I won't marry you."
Xia He said softly: "Jiang Mo respects us very much."
"Oh, if you respect us, you won't bother."
Jiang Yi sneered at this, but thought of the usual The man's attitude towards the beauty around him softened a little, and he said with a smile, "It is indeed different from other men. Hypocrisy is also hypocritical, and frankness is also frank."
Xia He showed a smile, There is a slight blush on the face.
"Your teacup?"
"Yes."
Xia He, who was lowering his head in thought, nodded subconsciously.
From the study to now, Jiang Yi, whose mouth was dry from talking all the way, was not polite. She picked up the tea cup and took a few sips, frowning in surprise: "What kind of tea is this made from?"
Um?
Xia He was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and his apricot eyes widened.
“What’s wrong?”
Jiang Yi looked at the girl in confusion.
Xia He said blankly: "I...I drank."
Jiang Yi laughed dumbly, "You girl, you are becoming more and more familiar with Madam, isn't it just drinking? It’s good tea.”
"I..."
Xia He didn't know how to speak, and felt like crying.
"Anyway, it's not easy to be a concubine." Jiang Yi said with a headache, "Once this girl Qingchen decides on something, she becomes very stubborn. When you enter the house from now on, you have to give her a little bit of freedom. After all, she is also Jiang Mo’s wife.”
Xia He lowered his head and hummed, not daring to look at his wife, as if she was a little girl who had done something wrong.
Jiang Yi didn't care, she gently raised the teacup, tilted it to her lips, the tea flowed in, and she drank it all in one gulp,
In the meantime, a few drops of crystal tea liquid slowly slipped from the edge of the red lips and gently touched the rim of the cup, just like the morning dew falling in love with the leaves, refusing to say goodbye, creating a delicate and graceful picture.
"Madam..."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Looking at the girl who was hesitant to speak, Jiang Yi asked.
Xia He asked in a low voice: "Will you marry Jiang Mo?"
Jiang Yi looked stunned, and then she seemed to have heard a big joke, and laughed so hard,
"Do you think it is possible? I really think your wife is crazy about men, that brat has How can he marry me? Li Guanshi asked him to touch my hand, but he will never touch my Jiang Yi's hand in this life."
