Chapter 333 Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight
Ding Dian was overjoyed after reading Ling Shuanghua's letter.
"Great! Great! I'm going to propose marriage right now!"
"Mr. Ding, it's rare for the master to agree, you must seize the opportunity."
"I understand. I'll write a reply letter and you can take it back to Shuanghua."
"Ok."
Not long after, Juyou returned with the letter.
Ding Dian was still immersed in joy.
At this time, the knock on the door rang again.
"But did you forget something? Juyou... Senior Brother!"
Originally thinking that it was Juyou who had returned, when he opened the door, he found it was Jiang Yin. Ding Dian was overjoyed.
"Long time no see, junior brother."
"Brother! How did you know I was here?"
"I happened to see you and thought you looked like me, so I came to see you. How are you doing recently? Where's your master?"
Jiang Yin said with a smile.
"Not bad. Master is even better. Since I separated from you, I have been learning martial arts from Master, and I have already mastered the Divine Illumination Sutra.
And Master also broke through to the Grandmaster level about half a year ago."
Hearing this, Jiang Yin felt slightly delighted.
Breakthrough to Grandmaster?
He had been in the Song Dynasty before, so naturally he did not receive news from the Ming Dynasty in a timely manner.
Therefore, he had not heard of Mei Niansheng's breakthrough to become a grandmaster or Ding Dian's fame in the martial arts world.
"As expected of Master."
"Brother, Master and I have heard about your deeds. I never thought you could kill the Blood Knife Ancestor. Although Master defeated the Blood Knife Ancestor, he was also seriously injured, and you actually killed him directly.
When Master heard the news, he was very pleased and said that the younger generation will push the older generation forward, and asked me to learn from you.
"It was just luck. Where is Master now?"
"Master is meeting up with old friends in Jingmen. Brother, are you looking for Master?"
"It's nothing serious, but since I'm nearby, I should go and pay him a visit. I haven't seen him for a year."
"Okay. I also have something to ask Master, so I'll go with you."
"Oh? I wonder what's the matter, Junior Brother?" Jiang Yin asked curiously.
He didn't eavesdrop on the conversation between Ding Dian and Ju You just now, so he really didn't know what it was about.
"Um...I'm getting married."
Ding Dian said rather shyly.
"marriage?"
Jiang Yin said in surprise.
Is there another one like this?
"Yes, Shuanghua and I have known each other for half a year. We fell in love at first sight and have been getting along very happily ever after. Shuanghua went home and asked her father, and he agreed.
She sent a maid over just now to ask me to propose marriage as soon as possible. My parents died early, so naturally I should ask Master to propose marriage for me."
After hearing this, Jiang Yin pondered for a moment and then guessed the general idea.
The current Ding Dian is different from the original Ding Dian. He has a big backer.
And this backer is Mei Niansheng.
Grandmaster Mei Niansheng, it is impossible for Ling Tui Si to have no scruples at all.
But given the other party's personality, he probably wouldn't agree to marry his daughter.
So, this is most likely a trap.
As for what the other party wanted to do, Jiang Yin estimated that they would use the poisonous Jinbo Shunhua.
There are many poisons in the world, but not many of them can hurt a grandmaster.
The Jinboxun flower is one of them.
Smelling its fragrance can make one's whole body limp and fall into a coma.
If one touches its pollen, even a great master will die.
This is exactly what makes the Jinbo Xunhua so terrifying.
The two biggest losses in Ding Dian's life were both related to this Jinbo Xunhua.
"I see. Let me first say congratulations."
Jiang Yin came back to his senses and said with a smile.
"Brother, since you are here too, why don't you stay and have a drink?"
"Of course. I will definitely drink at my junior brother's wedding."
"Okay! Then let's go to Jingmen early tomorrow morning to find Master."
Jiang Yin nodded to show his agreement.
Although this marriage has some problems, Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua are truly in love, so he has no intention of ruining it.
Furthermore, Ling Tui Si hadn't done anything yet, so it was impossible for him to tell Ding Dian that he was after the priceless treasure and that he agreed to the marriage just to set a trap to harm him.
This matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and it would be best if there is a win-win solution. Fortunately, there is still early time, enough for Jiang Yin to plan slowly.
At night, Jiang Yin sat cross-legged on the bed and began his practice for the day.
The practice ended after about half an hour.
"My fifth-level Grandmaster cultivation has been basically consolidated, and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra has also stabilized at the fifth level. The effect of the Divine Wood Snake Pill is not as good as I imagined. After taking too much, the effect has begun to weaken."
There are two kinds of Shenmu Snake Pills, one is made from twelve pills of ordinary Bosuqu snake gallbladder, and the other is made from three pills of king snake gallbladder.
After these days of taking and practicing, only half of the twelve ordinary pills are left. I estimate that if I take three more, they will have no effect.
The remaining Snake King Pill should have a better effect.
Jiang Yin estimated that these pills should be enough for him to break through to the seventh or eighth level.
"You should keep the remaining three ordinary pills and don't waste them."
After putting away the pills, Jiang Yin began to think about his next move.
Now that Ling Tui Si is Ding Dian’s future father-in-law, Jiang Yin naturally cannot kill him directly.
Furthermore, Ling Tui Si was an official appointed by the imperial court after all, and killing him for no reason would only bring trouble to oneself.
It is easy to find him whether it is Hulong Villa or Liushenmen.
Jiang Yin would never do anything that would cause trouble for himself unless it was necessary.
"I remember that Ling Tui Si was the leader of the Longsha Gang. He was an official appointed by the imperial court, but he was the leader of a gang of underworld forces. For this reason alone, the Ming Dynasty court would not allow it.
Moreover, the Longsha Gang is not a legitimate sect, but a crooked sect. Therefore, to deal with someone like Ling Tui Si, I don't need to take direct action, I can just use the court's knife to kill him.
By then, there would be no need to worry about affecting the marriage between Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua.
However, to do this well, a plan is needed. The most important thing is how to get the court to deal with Ling Tui Si. A prefect of Jiangling is not so easy to move.
Should we let the Six Gates participate, or let the Dragon Guard Villa handle the matter?"
Both the Six Gates and the Hulong Villa are qualified to investigate this matter.
Liushenmen has an acquaintance named Guo Juxia, while Huolong Villa can ask Haitang to do things for them.
It seems that both are possible, but they will expose Jiang Yin's existence.
Especially Haitang, it is easy to attract Zhu Wusi's attention.
So, Jiang Yin thought about it and decided to seek help from another force.
Jinyiwei!
The Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei had the responsibility of supervising all officials, which was a perfect match for their profession and most suitable for investigating Ling Tui Si.
"We just need to tell the Jinyiwei about Ling Tui Si, and someone will come to investigate. The current Jinyiwei commander is Li Gexiao, who is upright and will not bend the law for personal gain or implicate innocent people.
I just need to tell Lu Jianxing the news. He is eager to make achievements and establish his career. If this big pie falls on his head, he will definitely handle it quickly..."
Thinking of this, Jiang Yin had already made a decision in his heart.
Let the Jinyiwei and Ling Tui Si have fun, and he just needs to watch the fun from the side.
