I Just Won't Play By The Book



“In the end, this old man started to show mercy again. He said that he wouldn’t bring harm to his family, but his sons who could have inherited the throne would definitely not be released, so he only brought back these little princesses. You can decide what to do with them next.”

‘The Princesses of the previous dynasty are still alright...’

Jiang Beiran glanced at the twelve girls kneeling on the ground. He found it strange that Deng Bo had been on the throne for more than ten years, but a few of the girls seemed to be in their prime.

‘they were probably born during the time of the Crown Prince?’

While Jiang Beiran was making guesses in his mind, Guan Shian said, “What do you mean by being kind-hearted? Am I wrong to say that you can’t Harm Your Family?”

Yin Jianghong shrugged and didn’t reply. He looked at Jiang Beiran and said, “How about it? Do you want to go in and take a look? Some of them are quite iconic. Even I’m tempted by them.”

“Bah! Old and indecent, disgusting!”

“Since you’ve brought them back, let them stay in the palace.”

As soon as Jiang Beiran finished speaking,

the girl in the lead immediately kowtowed and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

The other girls followed suit and shouted, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Seeing that Jiang Beiran didn’t intend to go in and take a closer look at the little princesses, Yin Jianghong directly closed the door of the western room.

The three of them returned to the study room, and yin jianghong said, “Actually, besides bringing these little princesses back as gifts for you, there is something else that needs to be done.”

“Please speak, Sect Master Yin.”

From the beginning, Jiang Beiran had never expected Yin Jianghong to really give her any gifts, so he had been waiting for him to say this.

“We suspect that... Deng Bo has joined forces with other countries’forces, but this kid’s mouth is really tough. No matter how hard I ask, I can’t get anything out of him. This makes me feel that he still has some deep-seated conspiracy.”

“Since the hard way won’t work, then I can only use the soft way. This Deng Bo’s eldest daughter has shown great intelligence and agility in prison. I think she might know something. If you can get it out of her, sect master Guan will promise you a magical item.”

However, Guan Shi'an didn’t have much of a reaction when he heard this. He casually flipped through the book on Jiang Beiran’s desk and said, “I will naturally be the one to reward the righteous sect disciples. That’s not a problem. I’m not like an old man like you who is stingy.”

‘this Deng Bo really made Yin Jianghong put in a lot of effort...’

However, Jiang Beiran would definitely be happy to accept the job that had a reward.

“If that princess really knows something, this lord will think of a way to get the information out of her.”

Guan Shian said loudly after he heard this, “Alright, what I want is this little friend’s words. Then, I’ll leave this matter to you. Once you have the results, you can inform us at any time.”

After discussing this matter, Yin Jianghong slowly walked to the door of the study. “Since we have finished discussing the serious matters, I still have some other things to do in Yunzhou County. I’ll take my leave first.”After saying that, he pushed the door open and left.

Jiang Beiran knew immediately that Yin Jianghong did not really leave. He only left Guan Shian some time to talk to him alone. He would definitely return later.

“This old man Yin, why did he leave in such a hurry?”Jiang Beiran shook his head, guan Shian came to Jiang Beiran’s side and said, “Little friend, a few days ago, I heard from the sect master’s disciple that after you ascended the throne, you issued a decree to benefit the people. The common people all praised you as a rare good emperor.”

After hearing this, Jiang Beiran took a deep breath and said, “This decree has been issued, but whether it can be carried out properly or not, we still have to wait for a period of time before we know.”

“This Lord believes that with your talent, there will definitely be no problem.”

“This lord will naturally do my best and not disappoint sect master Guan’s expectations.”

“Good, this lord also believes that there will be no problem with you. There is another matter that this lord needs to discuss with you.”

“Sect master Guan said.”

“After this encirclement operation, I discovered that there are many more empty villages in Yangchong County, and the population is not as large as before. Young friend, how should we resolve this problem?”

Jiang Beiran understood guan Shi'an’s meaning the moment he heard it. The county where the sect of masked moon was located was Yangchong County. If there were not enough people in Yangchong County, the number of disciples that the sect of masked Moon had recruited would naturally be lower as well.

“Sect master Guan, please rest assured that this emperor will think of a way to solve this problem.”

“Hahaha, chatting with little friend is very enjoyable. Then this emperor will not say much. As long as little friend can restore the population of Yangchong County, or even better than before, this emperor will definitely give you a great gift.”

“Sect master Guan, it is my duty to seek the well-being of the people of Fengzhou.”

“Hahaha, you really know how to talk.”He patted Jiang Beiran’s shoulder happily, guan Shi'an pushed the door open and said, “In that case, I have some important matters to deal with, so I will leave first. I will wait for your good news.”

“I also hope that sect master Guan can pacify Fengzhou as soon as possible.”

“Don’t worry, those rebels won’t be able to survive for long.”Guan Shi'an said and then flew away.

Not long after Guan Shi'an left, Yin Jianghong, who had just left, walked into the study room. He looked at Jiang Beiran and asked, “Did Guan Shi'an hint to you to mobilize more people to his Yangchong County?”

Jiang Beiran, who knew that Yin Jianghong had definitely not left, was not surprised at his return. He directly replied, “Sect master Guan is only responsible for the development of various counties and counties. He has no other intentions.”

After hearing this ambiguous reply, Yin Jianghong chuckled. “You know more about self-protection than I expected. You have just entered the palace and yet you have already repaired the great battle in the palace. That’s amazing.”

After hearing this, Jiang Beiran laughed bitterly and replied, “In the end, you still haven’t managed to hide it from sect master Yin.”

He revealed an expression that said, “You’re still too inexperienced to fight with me.” Yin Jianghong asked, “Who is your formation master?”? This twenty-eight-night ghost-locking formation was no ordinary formation. To be able to completely perfect it under the premise that others had placed it there, based on what I know, there are probably no more than ten people in Fengzhou who have this kind of ability.”

Since he had already been “Discovered,”Jiang Beiran did not continue to hide it.

His expression was very conflicted as he replied, “I have never learned formations from anyone.”

Yin Jianghong did not doubt his words at all. After all, he knew all the famous formation masters in Fengzhou. If they could teach such a shocking disciple, they would have spread the word.

“Then how did you learn it?”Yin Jianghong asked curiously.

“I fell off a cliff and found a large number of formation codes in a cave. From then on, I stepped into the door of formations.”

Yin Jianghong did not doubt this reason that sounded like nonsense. He laughed out loud and said, “May the Buddha be so. Beiran is really lucky.”

After all, there were quite a number of people who fell off the cliff and picked up peerless secret manuals on this continent. Therefore, it would not be too much to have one more Jiang Beiran.

After laughing, Yin Jianghong continued, “You really hid it well. Originally, I really thought that you were a named disciple who knew how to play chess.”

Jiang Beiran shook his head and said helplessly, “I really have no talent for cultivation. If others know that I am good at formations.”

———————————— --

Yin Jianghong did not doubt this sentence. After all, he knew all the famous formations masters in Fengzhou. If they could teach such a shocking disciple, they would have spread it all over the street.

After a moment of hesitation, he replied, “I have never learned formations from anyone.”

Yin Jianghong did not doubt his words at all. After all, he knew all the famous formations masters in Fengzhou. If they could teach such a world-shaking disciple, they would have spread the word long ago.

“How did you learn it?”Yin Jianghong asked curiously.

“One time, I fell off a cliff and found a large number of formations in a cave. From then on, I stepped into the door of formations.”

Yin Jianghong did not doubt this reason that sounded like nonsense. He laughed and said, “If the Buddha is like this, then bei ran is really lucky.”

After all, there were quite a number of people who fell off the cliff on this continent and found peerless secret manuals, so it would not be too much to add him, Jiang Beiran, to the list.

After laughing, Yin Jianghong continued, “You really hid it well. I really thought you were a named disciple who knew how to play chess.”

Jiang Beiran shook his head and said helplessly, “It’s really because I have no talent in cultivation. If others know that I’m good at formations.”
