half year later.
Fengzhou, Guixinzong.
Gu Qinghuan came to the entrance of Zizhuyuan in the back mountain.
Taking out a pair of bells from the Qiankun Ring, Gu Qinghuan let them collide with each other to make a crisp sound, and then walked into the eight-direction Shura formation set up by Jiang Beiran.
Because he felt that it was too troublesome to come down to pick them up every time, but Jiang Beiran didn't want to let the intruders have a chance to escape in the formation, so Jiang Beiran simply used the sticks in the wishful stick to make two pairs of photographs The soul bell was given to them.
After these two pairs of bells were processed in Jiangbei, they had the effect of shielding the invading spirits of the eight magic Shura formations. As long as they closed their eyes and followed the guidance of the bells, the holders would be able to arrive at the Purple Bamboo Garden smoothly.
Pushing open the door of the small courtyard, Gu Qinghuan walked in and waited quietly.
After a while, the door of the small courtyard on the west side of Zizhuyuan was pushed open, and Jiang Beiran walked out with a green phosphorous snake around his neck.
"Little guy, you really like to act like a baby." Jiang Beiran said while stroking the green-scaled snake's head, which was constantly spitting out letters.
"Meet senior brother." Gu Qinghuan shouted respectfully, cupping his hands.
"Need me for something?" Jiang Beiran looked up at Gu Qinghuan.
Jiang Beiran knew that he was coming when Gu Qinghuan rang the soul-destroying bell, but Jiang Beiran had never summoned him, so if he came here on his own initiative, he should have something important to report.
"Yes." Gu Qinghuan nodded, "The emperor has not gone to court for five days."
"Oh?" Jiang Beiran raised his eyebrows, "It seems that the matter has come to an end."
In the past six months, through the information collected by Gu Qinghuan, Jiang Beiran basically understood what these people wanted to do, and the moment he understood, four words instantly appeared in his mind.
'interesting. '
The fall of imperial power is a common occurrence no matter in the fantasy world or in the normal world.
The current emperor of Sheng Kingdom is named Deng Bo. Originally, he should still be the crown prince, but his emperor's father was short-lived, and he hiccupped after only one year on the throne.
Of course, Jiang Beiran thought that he should not have died of natural causes.
The old emperor is dead, so the crown prince will naturally succeed him. According to the information Jiang Beiran has, Deng Bo should be exercising in the bedroom in the middle of the night. The eunuch suddenly ran over and told him that your father was dead, so hurry up and order him. Get ready for the succession ceremony.
In such a situation where he was completely unprepared, Deng Bo was kicked out and put on the shelves. If the old emperor still had some say in the court and black and white, Deng Bo was purely a mascot, and no one cared about him at all. he.
But I didn't expect that Deng Bo, who only thought about multiplayer sports and more sports when he was the prince, suddenly wanted to do something big when he became emperor.
He knew that whether it was the Demon Cult or the Zongmen, there were people who wanted to use the name of the court to do something, so he would be the biggest "tooth man" in the world and extract benefits from these equally restless forces.
Naturally, there is only one thing these restless powers want to do, and that is to be the boss.
Which sect or demon sect doesn't want to occupy the best cultivation area? Especially at that time, Guan Shi'an and Yin Jianghong were not Xuanzong, and those sects that were also not small were even more eager to move.
After discovering this, Deng Bo, who aspired to become the most successful "tooth man" in the world, began his imperial power tactics.
In just three years, as an "ordinary person" who had never practiced at all, he successfully won over a group of ambitious leaders and suzerains, and then spent another seven years in secret arrangements.
Although Jiang Beiran didn't know how he set up this game, he could guess some from various events.
Jiang Beiran reckoned that the emperor originally wanted to secretly use up the strength of both the righteous and the devil. For example, the Huang Gang was one of his tricks.
Then secretly cultivate and support some of his own court forces, so that under the ebb and flow of each other, those court forces he cultivated will one day become a member of the "sharing cake".
As for why this emperor can make so many bigwigs willing to listen to him, that is naturally his own ability.
It's a pity that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Just as Deng Bo was arranging all kinds of things in an orderly manner, a sudden accident broke everything.
That is Guan Shi'an broke through to Xuanzong.
This made those careerists couldn't bear it any longer. They thought that Guan Shi'an was able to break through to Xuanzong because he occupied a favorable place for cultivation.
This time, they are no longer willing to listen to Deng Bo's bullshit century-old plan. What they want is an immediate plan that can bring the old man down. Simply put, if you can't come up with a plan, we will kill you !
Once again, Deng Bo, who was driven off the shelves, had to temporarily change his plan, changing from winning in stability to winning in chaos.
Jiang Bei could guess that in his original plan, in the incident of the Yuezong sect, the righteous and the evil should be completely torn apart. It is estimated that in his next plan, he will also lure the bosses of the righteous and the evil, that is, let The idea of Guan Shi'an and Yin Jianghong fighting.
Both of these two had just entered the Xuanzong Realm, and when they lost both sides in the fight, the second and fifth boys in both camps shot at the same time, and it was very likely that they would be killed directly.
In that case, Fengzhou will fall into a state of leaderless dragons, but this leaderless is only for those forces that submit to Guan Shi'an and Yin Jianghong, and the Erwuzi forces have him as the "leader".
With a plan in place, these two or five young forces will surely stand out quickly and wipe out several powerful sects that have not had time to react one by one.
For example, Guixinzong will be one of them.
It's a pity that the plan to cover up the Moon Sect failed, and even aroused the vigilance of the two suzerains. Jiang Beiran estimated that Deng Bo should have been so scared that he couldn't sleep.
The subsequent kidnapping of Mu Yao was probably done by him, but it was a pity that Jiang Beiran cracked it again, which put him in a situation where he could only wait for death.
'Oh, miserable. '
In fact, Jiang Beiran admired the emperor quite a bit. There was something to be said for a golden bowl at the beginning, but he had developed to such a degree.
But who made him want to do things in Fengzhou? It provoked himself who only wanted to farm.
After knowing that Deng Bo was basically finished, Jiang Beiran said to Gu Qinghuan: "Since the matter has settled, please compile a report for me, which sects and demon sects disappeared in this purge, and which ones rose again , are listed in detail.”
"Yes." Gu Qinghuan cupped his hands.
As for who will be the next emperor, Jiang Beiran doesn't care.
After Gu Qinghuan left, Jiang Beiran went back to the yard to tease his cuties.
At noon, Jiang Beiran came to Tinglan Waterside Pavilion and stepped into the main hall. He found that Shi Fenglan today was a little different from the past.
I saw that she was wearing a white gauze dress, which gave people a sense of clarity and transparency, and a light purple gauze belt was draped over her shoulders. A gust of wind blew by, removing dust and flowing, like a fairy descending to earth.
And when the gauze ribbon fell, the gauze ribbon was clinging to her body again, and the exquisite and delicate figure was vividly reflected, which made Jiang Beiran rarely feel the mature charm of Shi Fenglan. This charm is four points majestic, three points heroic, three points cute, and there is a kind of charm from the bones when viewed from a distance or near.
But when she saw Jiang Beiran coming in, Shi Fenglan's four points of majesty and three points of heroic spirit turned into a very cute one, and she jumped towards him bouncingly.
"Xiao Beiran~"
"Stop." Jiang Beiran stretched out his hand to stop Shi Fenglan who wanted to rush towards him.
And Shi Fenglan stuck in place as if her movements were frozen.
"It looks so good, you want to go out?" Jiang Beiran asked.
"Hey." Shi Fenglan laughed, grabbed the skirt and twirled it around: "Does it look good?"
"Well, it suits you very well."
At this moment, Yu Manwen came out from the main hall and said, "It's rare to hear you praise someone."
Glancing at Yu Manwen, Jiang Bei then cupped his hands and said, "Today's Guardian Yu is also radiant, taking away..."
But Yu Manwen just waved his hands after listening to the beginning: "Forget it, I'm really not used to you praising me, so it's fine as usual."
"Okay." Jiang Beiran nodded with a smile.
After finishing speaking, Jiang Beiran looked at Shi Fenglan again and said, "So...where are you going?"
Jiang Beiran, who came to Tinglan Waterside Pavilion almost every day, hardly ever saw Shi Fenglan go out, so he was quite curious about her sudden going out.
After tidying up her clothes, Shi Fenglan replied: "The suzerain asked me to go there, saying that he had something to ask me. I planned to go there directly, but Manwen said that it would be better to dress formally."
'metropolitan? '
Reminiscent of the information that Gu Qinghuan just sent, Jiang Beiran thought that Lu Yinlong probably also knew the news, and felt that the real chaos in Fengzhou had just begun, so he decided to invite Shi Fenglan, the "invisible guardian", to apply for a job behind her. Protection from superpowers.
Speaking of the super power behind Shi Fenglan, Jiang Beiran has triggered a few more options in the past six months, and the difficulty has been reduced to the low-grade Mystery-level, and he has the posture to listen casually after a while, and may even give him an attribute point.
But why the difficulty is getting lower and lower, Jiang Beiran has a guess, and that is linked to his strength.
The stronger he is, the less trouble he will cause if he understands Shi Fenglan's background in detail. For example, if he hears it when his strength is low, he may be attacked by some narrow-minded master in the super big sect for no reason.
Of course, this is just a guess on his part, so he can't be sure.
"Xiao Beiran~ Xiao Beiran~ How about we go together." Shi Fenglan shouted.
"The suzerain is looking for you, what am I going to do? Nonsense."
"Give me some advice. I don't think it's good for the Suzerain to find me suddenly. What if he bullies me?"
"..."
The airborne hall master, and he doesn't have to go out once a year, he can just stay in the mansion to eat, drink and have fun every day. With this kind of treatment, Jiang Bei can be sure that Lu Yinlong is very aware of Shi Fenglan's identity, bullying you... How many does he have? Courage.
However, because of many things, Jiang Beiran felt that the relationship between Shi Fenglan and Guixinzong was different from the kind of helping Jiang Feng imagined.
That is, if Shi Fenglan can really protect Guixinzong as a patron saint, then Jiang Beiran doesn't have to go to such lengths to solve the chaos in Fengzhou. Anyway, even if those two or five young forces kill Guixinzong, Shi Fenglan is behind it Protected by the superpowers, what is he afraid of
So there is only one reason why he still needs to deal with these things, that is, even if Guixinzong is really beaten one day, the superpower will at most send someone to pick up Shi Fenglan. As for the survival of Guixinzong, they don't care.
'Humble...'
If you think about it this way, Lu Yinlong invited Shi Fenglan over at this time, maybe he wanted to use Shi Fenglan as a bridge, so that he could talk to that superpower.
But that's not important, anyway, it's impossible for Jiang Beiran to take the initiative to participate.
"Then... If you don't go with me, you can cook something delicious and wait for me to come back."
Jiang Beiran laughed immediately after hearing this, feeling that Shi Fenglan is like a child who wants candy, he always has to lay the groundwork before he can confidently ask for it.
"What to eat?"
"Roast duck!" Shi Fenglan raised her hand.
"Okay, then I'll go bake now, you should hurry to the suzerain."
"Okay~" Shi Fenglan cheered happily, and ran towards the door.
"Master! I just told you, pay attention to your manners! Don't run away!" Yu Manwen chased after him as he said.
When the two left, Jiang Beiran looked at the snickering Xiaoduo not far away and said, "Let's go, let's make roast duck."
"Okay!" Xiaoduo happily replied.
Shi Fenglan's visit was much longer than Jiang Beiran imagined, until the roast duck was almost cold, Shi Fenglan hadn't come back yet.
'It's a meeting. '
With a sigh in his heart, Jiang Beiran looked at Xiaoduo who was already hungry and called "Gululu" and said: "You eat first, I will bake another one when they come back."
Although the golden crispy skin of the roast duck made Xiaoduo's saliva almost flow out, she still shook her head firmly and said, "Let's eat together when the hall master and the others come back, I'm not hungry."
"Fine."
As soon as Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he heard the sound of the gate outside the courtyard being pushed open, followed by a feeble shout. .
"Xiao Beiran~"
Standing up and walking out of the main hall, Jiang Beiran glanced at Shi Fenglan who was downcast, then turned his gaze to Yu Manwen beside him and asked, "What happened?"
"It's nothing, it's just that the meeting time is a bit long, and the hall master is a little tired."
"It's more than a little bit! I haven't sat upright for so long, okay, I'm exhausted." Shi Fenglan came to Jiang Beiran's arm and said, "I have to carry my back."
"The roast duck is ready, it's in the kitchen."
"Roast duck!" Shi Fenglan ran into the kitchen quickly after hearing this.
When Shi Fenglan ran back to the kitchen, Yu Manwen said, "Today's meeting..."
But as soon as she spoke, two options popped up in front of Jiang Beiran.
[Option 1: Continue to listen. Completion reward: Green Star Secret Technique (Xuan-level mid-grade)]
[Option 2: Interrupt Shi Fenglan's words. Completion reward: random basic skill point +1]
Decisively choosing the second, Jiang Beiran said: "Don't talk about work when you come back, eat, eat."
[Optional task completed, reward: Gu poison +1]
'Don't talk about work when you come back? '
Hearing these strange words, Yu Manwen's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
'Say something weird...'
Thinking about it, Yu Manwen couldn't help but give Jiang Beiran a blank look.
