Chapter 24: It is not shameful to shake someone's hand
During the banquet, the guests and hosts were toasting and having a great time.
Only when everyone raised their glasses to toast Jiang Lan did Su Qinghan raise his glass and toast to Jiang Lan, who was sitting at the first seat.
Then he gently patted his sister Su Qingyao's back with his hands. Because she drank too quickly and had never drunk before, she always coughed after being drunk. Her face, as white as a rough jade, was flushed.
The great scholar Zhao Tianhe and his granddaughter Zhao Dieyi were also at the banquet.
The city lord Wang Anming naturally did not dare to neglect such a great scholar, so he set up a banquet and sent someone to deliver invitations.
He thought Zhao Tianhe would not honor him, but he didn't expect that he would come anyway.
Jiang Lan naturally knew why Zhao Tianhe came.
When Lin Fan was running for his life, he chose to intercept him, in fact, just to completely draw a line between himself and Lin Fan.
This old fellow was not stupid. At critical moments, he calculated things more clearly than anyone else. Although he was optimistic about Lin Fan and therefore wanted to make friends with him, it was impossible for him to be involved with the "real murderer" who assassinated the prime minister's son and ruin the future of the Zhao family.
If Lin Fan offends the Prime Minister's Mansion, he will no longer have a place to stay in the huge Great Xia Dynasty.
If Zhao Tianhe didn't want the Zhao family to be implicated, the wisest choice would naturally be to completely sever ties with Lin Fan.
"Lin Fan has been hiding in Yuyi City for so many years, and he has planned such an assassination. It is absolutely impossible that he has no accomplices around him..."
"After he escapes, his accomplice will probably come to pick him up. With such a seriously injured person, his accomplice should not have escaped far."
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang. I have already contacted many of my colleagues around me. The entrances and exits of each city in Jiangling County are strictly patrolled. Not even a fly will be let out easily."
City Lord Wang Anming toasted Jiang Lan with a glass of wine, and then made a promise in a stern tone.
Jiang Lan glanced at him and nodded slightly.
In fact, he never worried about not being able to find Lin Fan later.
As long as Su Qingyao, whom Lin Fan regards as his forbidden love, is still in the Su family, he will definitely find a way to contact her after he recovers from his injuries.
If he was more sensible and smart, he could stay hidden for now, accumulate strength, and wait for an opportunity to take revenge.
But what if Su Qingyao is in danger? The tactic of a hero saving a beautiful girl is always a success for the son of luck.
I just don’t know if Lin Fan can still live until that time.
After all, such a big "assassination" incident happened, and the murderer escaped in front of everyone.
He had already asked Uncle Ying to pass the news to his parents and started to recruit people.
They will definitely not sit still and will send another master who is much stronger than Uncle Ying to protect his safety.
In the original plot, Lin Fan has never shown his true strength at this time.
This also led to the fact that his enemies always underestimated his true strength. Although they were stronger than Lin Fan, they were not much stronger, so they could just be killed by Lin Fan.
After defeating his enemy, Lin Fan's cultivation strength steadily improved. The next enemy he encountered was a little stronger than before, and he was killed by him...
In fact, this kind of nesting doll-like plot is okay if it is used once or twice, but if it continues, it will doubt people's IQ.
Without his escape card, Lin Fan could be killed by Uncle Ying, who had reached the sixth level of supernatural power.
"This luck aura and the intelligence-reducing aura are actually not much different..."
Jiang Lan could understand it, since the original book was a simple and easy-to-understand novel.
Moreover, he already had a rough idea of where Lin Fan was most likely to appear after he escaped with serious injuries.
In the original book, in addition to meeting the great scholar Zhao Tianhe in Jiangling County, Lin Fan will also meet a remarkable woman later.
The extraordinary woman's name was Xiao Yingyue, and she was the supreme elder of Yaowang Valley.
Yaowang Valley is an immortal sect within the Great Xia Dynasty. It has been passed down for more than thousands of years and has a great reputation.
His disciples practiced medicine and had superb medical skills. Their traces could be seen in pharmacies and clinics in every county and city.
As for the Supreme Elder Xiao Yingyue, her whereabouts were elusive and extremely mysterious. In order to study medicine, she visited secluded places, tried hundreds of herbs, and had a deep knowledge of various pharmacological and medical techniques.
Jiang Lan remembered that she even inherited a complete set of Medicine Immortal Scriptures from ancient times. Her wonderful medical skills were so great that it was no exaggeration to say that she could bring people back to life and turn bones into flesh.
Later, he was called the Medical Immortal by the world.
In the original plot, Lin Fan became involved with her because of... a clichéd hero saving a beauty.
While hunting for herbs and writing "A Collection of Herbal Medicines", Xiao Yingyue accidentally ate an herb she had never seen before, which caused her to lose her cultivation and her consciousness to be sealed. In a short period of time, she became an ordinary person who was powerless.
Xiao Yingyue, who had no cultivation, couldn't even open the Sumeru Ring, let alone contact the sect.
In order to find a solution to this problem, she had no choice but to transform herself into a traveling barefoot doctor, making a living by consulting patients and treating illnesses in villages and towns across Gangneung County, while also studying her own symptoms to find a solution.
Although Xiao Yingyue has no cultivation, medicine and poison have been inseparable since ancient times. With her superb medical skills, she is more than capable of protecting herself and is also able to deal with those gentry and Japanese pirates who are secretly coveting her.
It’s a pity that such peaceful days did not last long.
Her beautiful appearance finally caught the attention of a transformed demon king who had been practicing hard for many years in the deep mountains.
The transformed demon king is as powerful as a human cultivator at the sixth level of supernatural powers. He has condensed a demon pill in his body, has strong magic power, and is extremely powerful.
When Xiao Yingyue was at her prime, she was certainly no match for such a demon king.
It's a pity that she was so weak and powerless at that time, and had no skills at all.
Faced with the demon minions sent by the Demon King to capture her, she had no way to deal with them.
At the critical moment, Lin Fan, who had gone deep into the mountains to hone his sword skills, showed up, slew the monsters with his sword, and saved the beauty like a hero.
The two got to know each other because of this.
Later, with the cooperation of Xiao Yingyue's poison technique, Lin Fan relied on his superb swordsmanship and many powerful trump cards to kill the demon king, obtained his demon pill and many precious treasures, and greatly increased his cultivation strength.
"Right now, Lin Fan is seriously injured and on the run, and he was also injured by my Bi Hai Tian Xin Yu. According to the normal routine, he will most likely be rescued by Xiao Ying Yue later..."
Jiang Lan gently stroked the golden cup with his slender fingers, as if thinking about something.
Of course, this is just his guess.
Because of his appearance, the plot has deviated from its original normal trajectory. It is normal if Lin Fan meets Xiao Yingyue in advance.
Therefore, in order to be on the safe side and avoid unexpected situations, he still has to completely eliminate this threat as soon as possible to prevent future troubles.
There is no shame in shaking people.
His greatest reliance at the moment is not his golden finger, but the invincible background behind him.
