Chapter 360 Jiang Wan Appears (End)
The sky is unpredictable, but just now it was clear and bright as a picture. Suddenly, dark clouds covered the sun, as if there was a sign that a heavy rain was coming.
People who were walking leisurely on the street suddenly speeded up their pace to go home, for fear of becoming drowned rats.
Street vendors have also begun to move their locations.
After a while, the originally bustling streets became a little deserted.
In Ran Mansion, the atmosphere was still peaceful.
Butler Li had a simple breakfast, changed into clean clothes, and was going to go to the guards outside the hospital to discuss whether he could buy more food for his family.
It’s best to buy more ingredients to replenish the old lady’s health.
Having stayed in Ranfu for more than thirty years, Butler Li has already had a deep affection for this place.
Seeing that the Ran family, which used to be prosperous in the past, is now in such a desolate situation, I feel filled with emotion and sadness.
Even though he was sad, he still remained optimistic in his heart.
In his opinion, as long as Mrs. Ran, the only Princess Wang with a different surname in the continent, is still there, the emperor will always miss the old friendship and will not be too harsh on Ran Mansion.
This crisis in Ranfu will eventually pass.
As soon as I arrived at the gate, I happened to see several internal guards approaching with stern expressions.
The person walking at the front was a middle-aged commander named Zhao.
Butler Li thought that the other party was about to conduct a routine inspection again, so he quickly put on a smile and stepped forward: "Commander Zhao, except for the two men who picked up dung, there was no one else this morning -"
" Poof!”
However, before the butler could finish his words, the sharp tip of the knife pierced his chest.
Steward Li stared at Commander Zhao with a look of disbelief.
“Your Majesty has a decree, Ranfu colludes with the demon clan, and everyone in the family will be executed!”
Commander Zhao of the inner guard slowly pulled out the bloody knife. Without looking at the body of the fallen housekeeper, he ordered his subordinates, "No one will be left alive!"
"Yes!"
Everyone The internal guard raised a knife and killed him in the hospital.
Some servants who had not reacted were chopped to the ground.
Soon the Ranfu compound fell into chaos.
Screams, cries, and begging for mercy came and went.
Splashed blood spilled into every corner, turning this once lively yard into a slaughterhouse.
Hearing the noisy shouts, Ran Jinyi, the head of the Ran family, frowned, stood up, opened the door and asked, "What's going on? What are you doing in a hurry?"
However, when he saw that the internal guards were slaughtering people in the mansion wantonly, he was stunned and stood on the spot.
咻——
An arrow shot through the air and penetrated his heart accurately.
Ran Jinyi was knocked into the room by the sudden impact of the arrow. His legs lost support in the severe pain and shock. He stumbled and fell to the ground, knocking over the chair beside him.
The man still had a dull expression.
It seems that I am still trying to digest this sudden change.
He touched the arrow on his heart and stared blankly at the blood on his hand. His dull pupils turned to look at the chaotic and bloody scene outside, his face full of confusion.
"Why is this happening?"
Ran Jinyi murmured to himself, the light in his eyes gradually dimming.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his wife Zuo Su standing in front of the dressing table, looking at him with complicated eyes.
The woman's arms were half raised, as if she wanted to pull him, but she seemed to be hesitating.
"Run quickly..."
Ran Jinyi struggled to spit out these two words, and then lost his breath.
Zuo Su walked silently to her husband.
Looking at her husband, whom she had been with for more than twenty years in name, now turned into a cold corpse, the woman slowly clenched her pink fists, not knowing what she felt in her heart.
Happy?
Sad?
There seems to be none.
The woman twitched her lips and wanted to laugh but couldn't.
At this time, an internal guard who smelled of blood rushed into the house. After seeing Zuo Su, the internal guard did not hesitate to swing a bloody long knife and chop off the woman's head.
But the next moment, the sharp blade was grabbed by a jade-white hand.
Before the inner guard could react, Zuo Su flicked his wrist and broke the blade into two pieces.
Then, she quickly stabbed the broken blade into the opponent's neck!
The blood suddenly gurgled out like a spring... The inner guard covered his throat, looked at this weak woman in disbelief, and fell to the ground with a plop.
Zuo Su closed his eyes and took a deep breath, turned around and left the house.
The remaining maids and servants in the mansion are still running away in panic, and there are already many corpses lying in the inner courtyard.
At this moment, no one can care about the old lady Ran who is seriously ill in bed.
Listening to the screams outside the window from time to time, old lady Ran's lips trembled slightly and tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
What was supposed to come finally came.
Perhaps she had anticipated this ending from the moment she was imprisoned in Ranfu.
No, in fact, from the moment Jiang Wan married into Ran Mansion, she had already expected that the outcome of Ran Mansion would be like this.
She clearly remembered that on the day of her youngest son's wedding, the emperor came to celebrate in person. When leaving, the emperor turned back and stared at the plaque hanging high in Ran Mansion.
At that moment, there was no warmth at all in his eyes, only chilling coldness and hatred.
At that moment, the fate of Ran Mansion was determined.
In the eyes of outsiders, the reason why she and her daughter-in-law have never dealt with each other is because Jiang Wan is a son of a gangster. As a princess with a traditional and noble status, she looked down upon such people very much.
But only she knows the real reason.
It's not that she doesn't like the daughter-in-law, she's just afraid that her family will be killed because of it.
She wanted to drive that broom star out every moment.
But as they got along for a long time, she felt a little reluctant to let go of her daughter-in-law. Although she still cursed her, she wanted to get close to her in her heart.
In such a conflicting heart, Mrs. Ran didn’t know what to do.
This is why Jiang Yi said that the old lady spoke harshly to her sister and was extremely repulsive, but after her sister left, the old lady seemed to have lost her soul.
Jiang Wan is smart and understands the old lady's difficulties, so she never cares about the old lady's rejection.
And with her death, all contradictions seemed to disappear.
Everyone has a different view on Jiang Wan's death.
Those close to Jiang Yi felt that Jiang Wan might have chosen death because of his guilt towards the Ran family and his hopelessness in swordsmanship.
Li Guanshi Some practicing masters believe that Jiang Wan may be risking his own life and returning to the sword with the power of nirvana.
Zhuge Xuanji and other conspiratorial people speculated that Jiang Wan might be planning something.
But in the eyes of the old lady, Jiang Wan's death actually indirectly protected the Ran Mansion and eliminated some of the emperor's hatred.
So the old lady always felt that she had "forced" Jiang Wan to death.
With such guilt, even if she knew that Ran Qingchen was not a bloodline of the Ran family, she was still willing to regard her as her own granddaughter, pampering her and loving her.
Except for her strong intervention in the wedding with Jiang Mo, she felt a little sorry for her granddaughter.
Unfortunately, in the end, the fate of the Ran family could not be changed.
The only thing the old lady regretted was that she should not have had expectations for the emperor and failed to dismiss the servants at home early, causing innocent people to be implicated.
Now she can only go to the underworld to make amends to these people.
Bang!
The door was kicked open.
Two internal guards rushed into the house with bloody knives.
When they saw clearly that the old lady Ran was lying on the bed, the two guards were stunned for a moment and hesitated for a moment.
After all, this is the only princess with a different surname in the continent.
The Ran family’s reputation is still there.
Finally, one of the internal guards gritted his teeth, bowed respectfully to Mrs. Ran, and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Ran. Your Majesty has orders, and we can only obey them. You. Don't worry, I will let you go as quickly as possible."
After that, the inner guard closed his eyes and swung his knife down.
But the imagined scene of blood splattering did not happen.
The inner guard opened his eyes and was shocked to see a woman standing in front of him. The woman appeared in front of the bed like a ghost, and easily caught the long knife he had chopped down.
The companion next to him had already fallen to the ground and twitched, clutching his throat.
The inner guard was shocked and wanted to drop his sword and run away, but his head was smashed by Zuo Su with a palm.
“What? Are you scared?”
Seeing the old lady staring at her, Zuo Su casually wiped the blood on the knife and sneered.
Old lady Ran sighed: "You shouldn't stay here."
"It's already this time, why are you pretending to be a bad person?" Zuo Su said with a sullen face. The wife forcibly carried it on her back and said coldly: "I will take you out of here."
"Su'er, put it down, you can escape alone."
Old lady Ran said tiredly, " How far can I run with my old bones? There is no need to hurt you. Besides, don’t you hate me the most?”
Zuo Su bit his lip: "Yes, I hate you. I can't wait to bury you in the coffin with my own hands! If it weren't for you at that time, I would have lived the life I wanted long ago! I look forward to it day and night. You should have died early, I look forward to seeing you in the coffin!"
The woman cursed angrily, venting her hatred, but her eyes were a little red.
She carefully supported the old lady's body, her voice became softer, and she laughed at herself: "But...you old thing, you are the only person in the world who treats me well."
Left Su twitched her red nose and walked towards the door:
"I will take you to find Qingchen. You can't die here. At least let Qingchen see you for the last time, at least - ”
Uh-huh!
A fierce sword light rushed towards me.
Zuo Su quickly raised his knife to resist.
With a "bang", Zuo Su flew into the house upside down.
Fortunately, Zuo Su turned around and protected the old lady from being too affected.
Zuo Su put the old lady on the careful bed, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and looked at Commander Zhao with a solemn expression as he stepped into the house.
“I underestimated the Ran family, there are actually experts.”
Commander Zhao glanced at the corpses of his two subordinates on the ground and looked at Zuo Su, “What’s the origin of this woman like you? ?”
Zuo Su knew that the opponent’s cultivation level was higher than his own, and what he was good at was assassination and sneak attacks. He was completely at a disadvantage when facing the enemy head-on. He rolled his eyes and said with a charming smile:
“ Commander Zhao asked where the slave family came from, why not try it yourself?"
As she spoke, the woman opened her skirt.
Reveal your beautiful body without any shame.
Commander Zhao was stunned.
He didn't expect a woman to do this.
Seeing the other party staring directly at her front, Zuo Su's lips flashed with cold contempt, and she slowly stepped forward, opening her dress wider bit by bit.
A woman's best weapon is her own body.
"Commander Zhao, why don't you try it yourself?"
As the distance between the two people got closer step by step, when they were only three steps away from Commander Zhao, Zuo Su suddenly pointed on his toes. The figure disappeared from the spot and appeared behind Commander Zhao the next moment.
The sharp tip of the knife stabbed the man in the back of the head.
However, at this moment, Commander Zhao's wrist shook, and a black sword light condensed into silk threads exploded from the long sword.
"Tear it apart!"
The air seemed to be split.
A stream of blood gushed out from the woman's mouth, and she flew backwards like a broken kite, and finally fell heavily in the courtyard, hitting several corpses.
“You think you can become a master by showing off a little bit?”
Commander Zhao walked towards Zuo Su step by step, his eyes cold, “The bitches I have seen are worse than You are too coquettish and you want to confuse me with just this little thought?”
Zuo Su tried to struggle to get up, but his body refused to obey him at all, and he could only collapse to the ground weakly. The difference in strength between the two is too big.
If you ambush early from the beginning, you might still have a chance.
But at this moment, she has no chance of winning.
“Ahem…”
Liquid mixed with blood foam and flesh fragments continued to pour out of Zuo Su's mouth, and every breath was accompanied by severe pain... He could even clearly feel that his life was gradually passing away.
So this is what death feels like.
Although I almost lost my life at Jiang Shouzhong’s place before, I didn’t feel deeply about it.
At least at this time, she understood that her life had come to an end.
Zuo Su suddenly felt a little regretful.
If the monkey didn't save her at that time, but died in the hands of Jiang Shouzhong, it would not be bad, at least he died naked in the hands of a handsome man.
“Let’s get on the road.”
Commander Zhao ignored the attractive whiteness shown by the other party and prepared to chop off the woman’s head.
Suddenly, a strange black mist wrapped around his legs silently.
Before Commander Zhao could recover from the sudden change, the black mist instantly melted away the flesh and blood from his legs, leaving only the white bones exposed.
Commander Zhao fell to the ground and screamed.
He looked at the woman in black who appeared not far away in horror, especially when he saw all his men died tragically behind the woman, he was even more frightened.
Ran Qingchen waved his hand gently.
The body of Commander Zhao exploded into a ball of blood mist.
Zuo Su looked at the girl in front of him who should be extremely familiar but was extremely unfamiliar with complicated eyes, and asked softly: "Are you Ran Qingchen, or the Queen Shura?"
Ran Qingchen didn't answer, just looked at her silently.
"Maybe both."
Zuo Su forced out a smile, but was followed by a violent cough.
Every time she coughed and wheezed, bright red blood continued to overflow from the corners of her mouth and drip slowly along her chin.
Finally stopped coughing, Zuo Su looked up at the dark sky, and murmured in despair: "Qingchen, everyone has two sides, don't they?
My father is a well-known Neo-Confucian scholar, and my mother has written books such as Women's Precepts. They are both highly respected.
When I was young, my mother would often hold a ruler and ask me to carry those women's vows, let me learn those women's etiquette, and teach me how to love myself as a daughter and how to abide by women's ethics.
My father would always keep an eye on me. If I violated the rules at all, he would punish me by kneeling in the stone house in the backyard of the study hall and deprive me of food or drink for a whole day.
My mother didn’t let me go out or play. She said that daughters should stay in the boudoir. Being exposed in the public eye shows that those bitches don’t love themselves. I can’t imitate them.
One time, I was so hungry that I secretly went to the kitchen to find something to eat. I accidentally met Chef Wang’s little nephew, who was about the same age as me, so I chatted with him for a few words.
When my father saw it, he not only drove away Chef Wang and her little nephew, but also hung me in the mourning hall, whipped me, said that I had ruined the family tradition, did not abide by women's ethics, and scolded me for being shameless... Then I was only ten years old at the time..."
Zuo Su laughed so much that tears came out of her eyes.
She said in a self-deprecating tone: "So, when I grow up, In the future, when I have freedom, what I want to do most is to indulge myself.
I want to be a bitch, I want to take revenge on them, my parents, and let them see that their daughter is a slut who can do anything she wants, and is - cough cough cough..."
Zuo Su coughed again, and the light in his eyes became dimmer
She slowly pulled up the skirt of her clothes, wrapped herself tightly, and said with a smile:
"I'm going to see my parents soon, so it's not good to look like this. No matter what, I don't want to let them down." ...Qingchen, Jiang Mo is actually quite good..."
The woman's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally she slowly lowered her head and lost her vitality.
Ran Qingchen looked at the dead woman with a cold expression.
She knelt down, arranged Zuo Su's clothes, and then came to the small house where Mrs. Ran lived.
"Finally, we met."
A gentle smile appeared on old Mrs. Ran's thin face.
Ran Qingchen asked lightly: "Do you regret it?"
Old Mrs. Ran smiled and said: "Regret what? Regret having a granddaughter? I, an old woman, have been ups and downs all my life, and some Things don’t have so many rules and morals anymore. Qingchen, no matter what you become, you are still my granddaughter.”
“Oh, hypocrisy”
Ran Qingchen twitched the corners of his mouth, his cold eyes filled with sarcasm.
Old Mrs. Ran didn't care about the girl's indifference and said softly: "When your mother passed away, I asked her, did you ever hate me?
Your mother said, Of course I have hated her. She is also a human being, and she also has emotions and desires. How could she not be resentful when she was so insulted and excluded?
Actually, I know that your mother has never hated me. You just want me to feel less guilty."
Mrs. Ran looked at Ran Qingchen tenderly: "Qingchen, no one wants to lie to you, especially your mother. In my heart, you are her daughter..."
"Enough!!"
Ran Qingchen stared at her angrily, "You are all lying to me! You are all lying to me! You are about to die now, and you are still trying to lie to me!"
< br>The old lady looked at her unfamiliar granddaughter calmly, without the slightest sadness or blame in her eyes, and asked weakly: "Since I am going to die, Qingchen, tell me, do you hate grandma?"
Ran Qingchen opened his mouth but said nothing.
"Qingchen, don't hate your mother, and don't hate Jiang Mo, that will make you lose your true self."
Mrs. Ran's breathing gradually weakened, "Grandma will leave first. You, take good care of yourself. Although I couldn't hug you and Jiang Mo's big fat boy, I saw you put on your wedding dress Qingchen, That's enough. My Qingchen is the most beautiful bride in the world..."
Old lady Ran tried hard to raise her hand and tried to touch the girl's cheek.
But in the end, I was still unable to hang down.
The only Princess Wang with a different surname in the imperial city of Dazhou fell asleep.
Ran Qingchen clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turned pale from the exertion, her delicate body couldn't help but tremble, and she tried her best to suppress the emotions surging in her heart.
Black-red tears were like condensed blood drops, slowly falling from the corners of the eyes, leaving shocking traces along the cheeks, adding a bit of desolation and sadness.
She knelt down and grabbed the old lady's hand.
The girl whimpered, and the black evil energy around her body was also surging crazily.
She carried old lady Ran’s body on her back and walked out of the house, preparing to bury it.
As he walked out of the house, Ran Qingchen suddenly raised his head, and his cold eyes fell on the man on the roof opposite.
Zhao Wuxiu!
"Shura is supposed to be ruthless."
Zhao Wuxiu abandoned his usual simple clothes and put on a brighter silk and satin dress.
Ran Qingchen sneered: "I borrowed my hand to cut off the karma between you and the continent royal family, and then came to kill me, avenge your master, and eliminate the karma. You Zhao Wuxiu is also insidious enough. "
Zhao Wuxiu said: "To ascend, you need to cut off all cause and effect."
"But can you ascend?"
Ran Qingchen snorted coldly, "You are seriously injured now. Trying to merge with my Shura Unbounded Soul is undoubtedly a dream. Even if my soul is not alive at this time, Steady, my cultivation has not been completely restored, but it is more than enough to deal with you!"
Zhao Wuxiu remained silent.
He was indeed seriously injured, injured by Yan Changqing.
Why did Yan Changqing come all the way to the capital to deliver that sword.
First of all, it was natural to give the emperor a warning, after all, the other party bullied his daughter.
Secondly, it is also his real purpose.
Seriously injuring Zhao Wuxiu, forcing the opponent to be unable to complete the fusion of Shura Wujie Soul.
The third time is to test whether there are other masters hidden in the capital.
Yan Changqing never intended to "save" his daughter. Just as Li Guanshi said, if he wanted to completely save Ran Qingchen, he could only fundamentally solve it by letting her become Shura.
But as Ran Qingchen finished speaking, she suddenly found that her demonic energy was beginning to be out of control, and she seemed to be imprisoned by a mysterious force.
Ran Qingchen's pupils shrank and he looked up at the sky.
In the gloomy sky, a golden and ancient giant door gradually appeared, extremely vast.
Tianmen! !
Zhao Wuxiu actually opened the Heavenly Gate!
The majestic power of heaven surged out of the Tianmen and turned into an invisible giant hand, suppressing Shura.
Ran Qingchen was forced to kneel on the ground, his hands firmly supporting the ground, his slender fingers embedded in the mud, and his charming and unparalleled jade dimples looked ferocious and twisted at the moment.
Zhao Wuxiu said calmly: "I can't kill you, but immortals can."
"Zhao Wuxiu, you actually made a deal with those bullies above!"
Ran Qing Chen's soul began to be pulled away, and his voice contained great resentment and anger, "Do you think they will let you enter the Heavenly Gate if you sacrifice your true soul? You are too naive!"
Zhao Wuxiu ignored it and looked up at Tianmen with burning eyes.
He will definitely enter this heavenly gate!
......
The palace was in chaos.
But only in Fengluan Palace, it was still peaceful.
Empress Luo Wanqing waved away the female official who came to report hastily. She stared at the Jinluan Palace with her beautiful eyes, and suddenly burst into laughter, and then she laughed more and more happily.
Erliang, who was practicing swordplay, tilted his little head and looked at the mistress with a puzzled look on his face.
"Erliang, your mistress is a widow."
Luo Wanqing wiped the tears from her eyes and said with a smile.
The woman looked back at her luxurious palace with some reluctance: "With the queen gone, there is no hope of enjoying all the glory and wealth in the world. Unless..."
Luo Wanqing's beautiful eyes lit up and she said to Erliang:
"Does your master want to fight for the world? If it is not possible, I will reluctantly become the queen again, so I can deal with him."
Erliang was about to speak when he suddenly looked up at the sky.
Luo Wanqing also looked up.
“The gate of heaven is opened.”
Luo Wanqing was lost for a long time and sighed, "This Zhao Wuxiu is no better than Zhou Chang. He is crazy and possessed. But, can this guy really ascend?"
"No."
Erliang said softly.
"Why not?" Luo Wanqing asked subconsciously.
Erliang said: "Because I am here."
Luo Wanqing was stunned, looking down at this little girl who was usually very shy, but now she was suddenly speaking out.
For some reason, she suddenly found that Erliang had changed.
It seems...mature.
Erliang put down the sword in his hand and walked to a high platform. His clothes were slowly fluttering, and a sense of desperation and sadness that was inappropriate for his age appeared on his childish and cold cheeks.
“There is still heaven above the Tianmen, and there is Tao at the end of the avenue.”
She turned back and smiled at Luo Wanqing: "Senior sister, thank you for taking care of me."
Luo Wanqing's eyes widened with a look of shock.
Jiang Wan! ?
The girl raised her arm and said loudly:
"I have a sword named Cangsheng! It can kill monsters, suppress Buddhas, and kill immortals!"
The color of heaven and earth suddenly changed.
A golden beam of light rose from all over the continent and turned into a sword energy.
Tens of thousands, millions, tens of millions...
Almost all of these beams of light are emitted from ordinary people.
“Cut!”
Thousands of sword energy gathered together and shot straight towards the Tianmen.
The Tianmen was instantly shattered, and the giant immortal palm was cut off, letting out a thunderous roar of unwillingness and anger.
Zhao Wuxiu was dumbfounded.
The long sword rushed down, smashing the world's number one monk into a deep underground pit and disappeared.
