Chapter 32
The next day, Jiang Chaoge took advantage of the meal time to find Yu Renshu and Tianrong and told them his plan.
Yu Renshu frowned when he heard this, "You are too bold. If Qi Lingfeng finds out that you let that woman go, we will lose our last friend."
"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate well, I will make Qi Lingfeng think that it was Qi Ranjun who let Ruan Qiansu go."
"Then how do you explain Qi Ranjun?"
"As long as he doesn't admit it, even if Qi Lingfeng thinks he let her go, there's nothing he can do about it. When Qi Ranjun pleads for mercy again, Qi Lingfeng might pardon her."
"Have you told Qi Ranjun about this plan?"
Jiang Chaoge blinked, "No."
Yu Renshu was slightly angry, "So it's all your wishful thinking so far. You went to see Ruan Qiansu without consulting me, and you told Ruan Qiansu that he would be loyal to the Qi family without seeing Long Xiang. In other words, your hand
You don’t even have half a bargaining chip, but you want me and Tianrong to act according to your assumptions, and then use these assumptions to ask Qi Ranjun to intercede for Long Xiang! Jiang Chaoge, Jiang Chaoge, isn’t this the same as starting to build a house without a cornerstone!”
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said: "I will tell you a story about our world."
"I don't have time for stories."
"Listen, it's very interesting. The story goes like this: A poor young man fell in love with the city lord's daughter, but he knew that the city lord would never allow him to marry his daughter. A wise man decided to help him. The wise man first went to the largest gold bank in the city.
, asked the boss of Jinhang, would you like to hire the son-in-law of the city lord to be your manager? When the boss of Jinhang heard this, of course he agreed. Then, the wise man went to the city lord again and asked him if he would like his daughter to marry the biggest man in the city.
When the city lord heard about the manager of Jinhang, he felt that his daughter liked him and the young man was so decent, so he readily agreed. As a result, the young man gained fame, wealth and beauty, the city lord's daughter married his young and promising sweetheart, and Jinhang got the city lord's son-in-law as a manager.
The city lord saw his daughter happy." Jiang Chaoge chuckled and said, "I have always admired this story, not because it taught me how to make something out of nothing, but because it taught me that the most perfect deal is to satisfy the interests of all parties."
Yu Renshu was stunned and looked at Jiang Chaoge with an incredulous look.
"Shu, if you cooperate with me, we will both get what we want in the end."
Yu Renshu paused, "Okay, tell me what to do."
"It's up to you to go to Qi Ranjun in person and tell him that Ruan Qiansu promised to leave Qi Mansion with my help. Ruan Qiansu is unwilling to owe him a favor and refuses to accept his help, so we will help him. The conditions are
I was asked to meet Long Xiang before the trial, and he had to plead with Qi Lingfeng to pardon Long Xiang. The price was that Long Xiang had to atone for his sins and be loyal to the Qi family."
Zhi Xuan snorted coldly, "Human women are really incomprehensible. Someone is willing to let her out, why doesn't she do it? Does she like to be locked up?"
"I guess Qi Ranjun must have expressed his intention to help Ruan Qiansu regain his freedom, but to be his person. Even if he didn't say it directly, she could hear it. The woman was very proud and would definitely disagree."
Yu Renshu said: "With Qi Ranjun's status, it is impossible to marry her, and with such a bad reputation, I'm afraid I can't even be a concubine. She can't accept it."
Tianrong said: "What if Qi Ranjun doesn't agree? If Ruan Qiansu is released, won't he get it?"
"I don't think Qi Ranjun is that kind of person." Jiang Chaoge patted Yu Renshu on the shoulder, "It's up to you to convince him. To be more emotional, Qi Ranjun is a soft-spoken person."
"What if he is?"
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "If so, I have other plans."
Yu Renshu was hesitant, but finally agreed.
Everything went smoothly according to Jiang Chaoge's plan. The next night, the night before the trial, he was secretly taken to the dungeon to meet Long Xiang.
Long Xiang was not surprised to see him appear. The young man still maintained the maturity and cold arrogance beyond his years, looking at him steadily.
Jiang Chaoge shrank his neck, "It's so cold in this dungeon, can you sleep?"
"Being unable to sleep has nothing to do with the cold."
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "Yes, you may lose your head tomorrow."
Long Xiang said: "It won't be a big deal if you come. Just tell me what you want to do."
Jiang Chaoge sat down opposite him, picked up the shackles on his hands and feet, and asked bluntly: "Do you want to live?"
"think."
"I have a way to survive here, do you want to hear it?"
"explain."
"In tomorrow's trial, if you fight to the death and refuse to admit that you were the one who killed the Qi family, Qi Ranjun will intercede on your behalf and allow you to plead guilty and be loyal to the Qi family from now on."
"I said, I..."
"Listen to what I have to say." Jiang Chaoge stopped him, "After saving his life, the third prince will ask Qi Lingfeng to take you to help us find the heaven-level soul weapon. Then you can leave Qi Mansion and regain your freedom."
"What do you want from helping me like this?"
Jiang Chaoge said bluntly: "I want you to follow me."
Long Xiang sneered, "What's the difference between that and staying in the Qi family?"
"Of course, you hate the Qi family, but you probably don't hate me. Moreover, I will pay you a high reward, much more than the bounty you earn by running around. The most important thing is that you are always
You're free, if you don't want to follow me anymore, you can leave at any time."
Long Xiang's dim blue eyes flashed as he weighed Jiang Chaoge's words.
Jiang Chaoge emphasized, "If you want to live, this is your only hope."
Long Xiang shook his flaming red hair and his eyes became determined, "Okay, if I can leave Qi Mansion, I owe you a favor. I will never leave until I find a heaven-level soul weapon."
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "Okay!"
After solving Qi Ranjun and Long Xiang, the only thing left is how to get Ruan Qiansu out of Qi Mansion. In fact, he doesn't need to worry too much about this. Qi Ranjun is much more active than him. They plan to find Tianji before they set off.
When using the soul weapon, take Ruan Qiansu away with him.
Jiang Chaoge was not qualified to participate in Long Xiang's trial, so Yu Renshu went. Although he was confident, he was still somewhat nervous and felt anxious all morning.
Zhi Xuan watched him walking around the room and finally became impatient, "Can you sit down for a while? Your life will be shortened if you do this."
Jiang Chaoge laughed, "How can this shorten your life span?"
"I heard that as long as human beings have strong emotions, their life span will be shortened. If they eat too much, their life span will be shortened. If they do not exercise, their life span will be shortened. If they are cold or hot, their life span will be shortened. If they cry and get drunk, their life span will be shortened... How can humans be so troublesome? They die at every turn.
." At the end of the sentence, Zhi Xuan became angry.
Jiang Chaoge laughed and said: "What you said makes sense. Human beings are so fragile, but sometimes they are also very strong. Therefore, although they are short-lived, they can reproduce for tens of millions of years."
"It just doesn't make sense. Why is there only one ancient spiritual beast like me, while there are thousands of humans as tiny as ants? I'm obviously strong and long-lived."
"Perhaps it is because of this that you are alone. If there were many, many unicorns, the world might not be able to carry them, and other races would be extinct. Therefore, the world can only create one unicorn."
Zhi Xuan nodded, as if these words made him feel comfortable.
At this time, Yu Renshu came back, and Jiang Chaoge hurriedly greeted him, "How is it?"
Yu Renshu was a little excited, "Everything is going well. Long Xiang refused to admit his fault, Qi Lingfeng was shaken, and Qi Ranjun will become a lobbyist."
Jiang Chaoge breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was no immediate trial, it proved that Qi Lingfeng was not determined to kill Long Xiang, and things would definitely turn around.
"In addition, Qi Lingfeng helped me find the whereabouts of a possible heaven-level soul weapon based on the clues of the Grand Master. It is on Shaoxian Mountain, seven hundred miles east of the Prison Law City. It is covered with snow all year round, and there are many ferocious beasts on the mountain.
No one dares to go to the alien beasts, we can set off at any time. I will follow your instructions and tell him that we are looking for a specific soul weapon. If it is not that one, we will give him the heaven-level soul weapon we found."
"Very good, we will set off immediately after Long Xiang is pardoned."
After waiting for two days, Qi Ranjun brought good news, saying that after Long Xiang agreed to serve the Qi family, Qi Lingfeng decided to pardon him. Yu Renshu immediately offered to take Long Xiang to Shaoxian Mountain to search for heaven-level soul weapons.
, Qi Lingfeng had no choice but to agree, although he felt something was wrong because of Yu Renshu's face.
On the day of departure, Qi Ranjun sent someone in advance to hide Ruan Qiansu in the secret box of their carriage. The carriage contained the food and clothing expenses prepared by Qi Lingfeng for them, and was specially built by Qi Ranjun.
Qi Lingfeng sent them to the gate of Qi Mansion, while Qi Ranjun escorted them out of the city.
After walking out of the prison city for more than ten miles, Qi Ranjun stopped his troops, dismounted, and released Ruan Qiansu from the secret box.
Ruan Qiansu changed into a black plain outfit, her long hair was tied into the simplest bun, and her face was as cold and charming as white jade. Her tall stature made her body look a little thin, but at the same time she had an unconcealable aura.
The spirit of a person is somewhat more valiant than that of a man.
Qi Ranjun looked at him sadly, "Qiansu, do you really want to leave?"
Ruan Qiansu said calmly: "Even if there is still room for me in Prison Law City, I don't want to waste my time here."
Qi Ranjun's resolute face was full of sadness, "Qiansu, I want to give you a lot, but you still refuse to take it. Why are you so stubborn?"
"Second brother, we have said many things countless times, don't say them again." Ruan Qiansu looked at Qi Ranjun, his eyes a little sad, "Thank you for taking care of me for many years, otherwise I would not have lived in Qi Mansion for a long time."
It will be even more difficult. If I still have a chance in my lifetime, I will definitely repay you."
Qi Ranjun couldn't help but hug Ruan Qiansu tightly into his arms. His fists were clenched tightly and his body was trembling slightly.
Ruan Qiansu sighed softly, "Second brother, thank you... I'm sorry."
Qi Ranjun took a deep breath, let go of her, and took out two bright silver and sharp mandarin duck axes from his horse bag, "Your weapons."
Ruan Qiansu's eyes sparkled when she saw the mandarin ducks and yue. She stroked them carefully and cherished them very much.
Qi Ranjun took a step back and forced himself to turn around, "Let's go. Qiansu, don't forget your second brother."
Ruan Qiansu whispered: "Never forget each other." She got on the horse and walked forward without looking back.
Jiang Chaoge looked back and saw her following her, and shouted proudly: "Let's go."
