Old Huo: "That shouldn't be the case."
After hesitating for a while, he said, "Maybe it's because Xiao Qi Dao's mind is always on his mother, so this Gao Yi Tactic sends him to Mother's side."
He told the Great Mother Ye about the Purple-Rank Divine Artifact High Sense, causing the expression on the Great Mother Ye to change: "No no, this thing is too precious, the Purple-Rank Divine Artifact is too precious. You can't give it to Xiao Qi Dao. An Zheng, this is what you need the most right now.
An Zheng shook his head. "The toy I gave to my child, how can I take it back?"
Old Huo sighed, "Looking at you all, I have the illusion that I'm living in a paradise. That's a Purple-Rank Divine Artifact, none of you are actually greedy enough to take it for yourselves. If this thing was placed outside, it would cause a huge uproar. Do you believe it? Forget about the State of Yan, even if it is Da Xi, once the news of who is holding this thing gets out, it will very quickly attract a large number of experts. "
An Zheng: "So what if you're a Purple-Rank Divine Artifact, I'll hang each of you up for fun in the future."
Old Huo rolled his eyes at him. "I really don't know how to describe you, but your luck is really unexplainable. Gao Yiyi had already recognized his master, unless something bad happened to the Xiao Qi Dao, this would be his. Great Mother Ye, you keep it. And I'm going to go on to say that the effect of this thing... The most important thing was the double, which was why it was called undead. But the most important thing is that it is only the basic ability of the Gao Yi Tactic, if it is only a substitute, then it is not enough to be called a Purple-Rank Divine Artifact. "
"When the Xiao Qi Dao's cultivation reaches the Captive Stage, he will be able to trigger another ability of the Gao Yi Tactic, which is a wood type attack. He could use all the wood-attributed items around him to either defend or attack. If the Xiao Qi Dao's cultivation level were to reach the Lower Completion Stage, he would be able to create a sealed space using the Supreme Secrets Technique. This space can move freely in the woods. If it's in a large forest, then every tree can be his hiding place. "
Great Mother Ye's eyes were a little red, she said to Xiao Qi Dao: "Kneel down, and thank your big brother An Zheng."
Xiao Qi Dao obediently knelt down. "Thank you, Big Brother An Zheng."
An Zheng immediately carried Xiao Qi Dao and said, "Don't listen to your mother. We are a family, do you understand that we don't need to kneel down? You said thank you, and Big Brother An Zheng accepted it. "
Xiao Qi Dao made a sound of acknowledgement, and his smile was exceptionally brilliant.
An Zheng said: "Everyone be a bit more careful, even though the Gao Family's matters have come to an end, but the people who are thinking about the Gao Family's matters, might come here to cause trouble. Although a lot of people saw it when I left the Gao family, they might not give up. So in this period of time, everyone avoided going out as much as possible and cultivated more within the Heaven Defying Seal. Especially Xiao Qi Dao, I keep having the feeling that something bad might happen. "
Great Mother Ye said: "Don't worry, I will be living with Xiao Qi Dao inside the Heaven Defying Seal later."
An Zheng acknowledged: "Then let's leave it at this for now, I'll change my clothes and then I'll go to the Martial Arts Academy."
"Right."
Old Huo said: "Recently, our Heavenly Awakening Sect's reputation has become more and more resounding, and there have already been a lot of martial artists coming to join us. Because of your reputation, those who commit adultery do not dare to come. Therefore, for those who came, there was always a chivalrous heart. When you weren't there, I acted on your behalf and left a lot of it behind. These people will become the mainstream power in our Heavenly Awakening Sect in the future, you should go and meet them. "
An Zheng nodded his head, "After I return from the Martial Arts Academy, I will arrange wine for everyone to drink tonight."
Old Huo acknowledged.
An Zheng looked at Du Shoushou, "Fatty, go and meet everyone, get everyone settled down. Also... In the future, our Heavenly Awakening Sect will not be watched by anyone. Arrange the men to be on duty within our area. Whoever dares to spy on us will be beaten and released. If he came again, he would break his arms and legs. From today, put up the name "Heavenly Awakening Sect" on every street in our area. Whoever dares to bully people in our area, do not care about all these, if you want to fight, just fight. "
Du Shoushou vigorously nodded his head: "We should have done this a long time ago. Ever since we entered the Fanggu, there have been people surrounding us. "These guys are treating us like a market. They just want to come and go as they please."
An Zheng said: "Newbie, your cultivation can be tested, but your character cannot be tested, it can only be determined through long-term observation. So we all watch out, and treat me with sincerity, and treat him with sincerity. Also, the rules of our Heavenly Awakening Sect s, there is one thing that cannot be broken. Those who came had the ability and character. It wasn't a problem for them to live a good life. To spend money like water? The Heavenly Awakening Sect can make everyone who wants to join in to spend money like a waterfall. If you want to do chivalry and righteousness, there is no problem, from today onwards, the people of Heavenly Awakening Sect will not only protect our range, but also walk out. For any trouble caused by doing good, leave it to me. At most, our Heavenly Awakening Sect will just go all out, but this cannot change at all. "
Du Shoushou nodded, "Leave it to me. Everyone who comes by these rules is clear on this. Those who had really done evil wouldn't dare to come. Who doesn't know that An Zheng hates evil? How many people dare to be impudent here now? "
An Zheng: "Then I'll go to the Martial Arts Academy first. I'm rather sensitive right now, so you guys don't have to follow me."
After packing up, he left Heavenly Awakening Sect and headed towards the Martial Arts Academy. Along the way, An Zheng kept having the feeling that someone was secretly watching him. An Zheng searched for a few times, but he couldn't find the location of the person. With An Zheng's experience, he knew that it was definitely not an illusion. It was a type of keen sense of danger, and there were few people in the world with more experience than An Zheng. He had experienced too many things in the Great Western Ming Fa Si.
However, after arriving at the Martial Arts Academy, the feeling of being watched from the shadows disappeared.
An Zheng thought that maybe he had just killed the old lady from the Gao Clan, so it was reasonable for someone to spy on him. When he reached the Martial Arts Academy, he first went to visit the injured Chang Huan and Huo Tangtang.
The Martial Arts Academy was still depressed.
Even if the officials of the military department turned the tables on them, even if the Martial Arts Academy was already famous, there were still very few people who came to register for the Martial Arts Academy. No one wanted to enter the Martial Arts Academy at this time. Everyone was worried that they would fall into the pit and be unable to climb out.
Huo Tangtang was still the same, silent throughout the day, not talking to anyone. Chang Huan would come to visit her everyday, but she would never look at him.
"An Zheng!"
Chang Huan sat on a stone bench in front of the broken library and handed a jug of wine to An Zheng. I have already submitted my resignation to the Army, so regardless of whether they agree to it or not, I will be leaving Fanggu tomorrow morning. "
"Where are you going?"
An Zheng asked.
Chang Huan looked into the distance: "When I was training in the Martial Arts Academy back then, my goal was to go to the Eastern Battlefield. No matter what, I always felt that the best place to prove myself was on the battlefield. great swallow is troublesome, and needs me. I also need to go there and indulge myself. When I was at the Martial Arts Academy, Mister forced me to stay behind so that I could shoulder whatever troubles came my way. However, from the looks of it now, I do not
have such a burden after all. "
He glanced at An Zheng, "Do you more or less understand the relationship between my teacher, Dean Yan Xu, and Principal Sang?"
An Zheng nodded.
Chang Huan said: "At that time, Principal Sang had already sensed that a storm was going to befall great swallow. Therefore, he made an agreement with the mister. He was in the open while the mister was in the dark. Teacher's suffering is actually even greater than Principal Sang's. In order to gain the trust of the Empress Dowager, he also did something in the name of his own conscience. However, he had always kept his bottom line and had never done anything evil. Later on, Principal Sang died, and Mister became the Principal. They thought that their plan would succeed, but who would have thought … As for the empress dowager, she doesn't care about the life and death of the dean of the martial arts institute at all. "
He laughed bitterly, "Do you think it's funny? Poor? The two gentlemen had planned and schemed for so long, but the enemy didn't care. This is the difference in strength. The enemy is too strong, strong enough to ignore any of our plans. Therefore, now that the Martial Arts Academy was disabled, he didn't know if he would be able to stand up. "Maybe I'm a coward because I left at this time, but I …"
He glanced at Huo Tangtang's residence: "I no longer have any reason to stay, I think it's better if I go to the Eastern Battlefield. There is no meaning for the Martial Arts Academy to have me alone, but if I, Chang Huan, were to be added on the battlefield, it might cause more enemies to die and more comrades to live. "
An Zheng didn't know how to advise his against this.
Chang Huan patted An Zheng's shoulder: "Actually I like you very much. In my personality, we are very similar. It's just that you're more direct and true to yourself than I am. I'll leave the Martial Arts Academy to you, after I leave, the position of principal will probably be given to Huo Tangtang, but her thoughts will not be here anymore … I never thought that the Martial Arts Academy would rise again. I only thought that the Martial Arts Academy could continue to rise. And to you, this pressure is already huge enough. "
An Zheng said: "I can't persuade you anymore, but she … "Maybe they just haven't come out yet."
Chang Huan: "Those who die, will forever be under pressure in her heart. If I stay by her side, it will only make her more uncomfortable. When I charge into the Youguo with my sword, I will treat you to some wine. "
An Zheng: "You … "Take care."
Chang Huan laughed: "Don't worry, I won't die that easily. If I don't kill enough on the battlefield, I won't die. I'll leave the dojo to you … "By the way, take care of her for me."
Chang Huan got up: "I'll go pack my things first, we'll meet again if fate wills it."
An Zheng cupped his fists: "See you in the martial arts world."
Chang Huan turned and left. He did not look back nor did he stop.
An Zheng watched Chang Huan's back and then looked at Huo Tangtang's residence, somewhat absent-minded.
People were always tormenting themselves.
At the same time, Nie Qing walked to the entrance of the Heavenly Awakening Sect and cupped his fists: "I want to see An Zheng."
Chapter 250 - Not That Long
An Zheng did not know what Nie Qing's goal was, even more so, he did not know.
But Nie Qing strangely did not make a move in Heavenly Awakening Sect. He only stood in the courtyard blankly for an hour, then turned and left. Only Du Shoushou and the others were left flabbergasted. No one knew what Nie Qing was doing. This was because after this cold-faced fellow said those words before entering, he didn't say another word.
This action was so strange that it shocked even the Zhen Dao hidden in the Embroidery Palace. His order was for Nie Qing to kill An Zheng and snatch the Xiao Qi Dao, but Nie Qing did not make a move.
On the side of the Martial Academy, An Zheng watched as Chang Huan left and had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
When he first entered the Fanggu, no matter what he said, he would have never imagined that there would be a day when such a large dojo would land on his shoulders. Although he had an even more important right and position before his rebirth, An Zheng still felt a lot of pressure. Back then, Daxi Shenghuang's evaluation of An Zheng was... An Zheng was not suited to be an official.
Chen Wunuo's original words were: "If it wasn't for me, no one would use you. If it wasn't for me, no one would dare use you. With your temper, you are like a rampaging brute. You are naturally opposed to those who know how to be an official. But we like to use people like you, and we also want those who know how to be an official to be afraid of you. That's why we gave you our Ming Fa Si. With you around, the officials didn't dare to do evil in public. And with me here, you won't die for no reason. "
However, to Da Xi, the first lord of Ming Fa Si still died for no apparent reason.
An Zheng had thought that maybe Chen Wunuo knew why he was dead. But what would Chen Wunuo choose to do when she killed his son? Could it be that he would kill his own son because of An Zheng, who was already dead?
An Zheng shook his head.
No matter what, he had to take revenge. Don't worry, come one at a time.
First, he killed all of his enemies in State of Yan, then he returned to Da Xi.
An Zheng took a look at the incomplete bookstore, and saw the blacksmith fixing it. When An Zheng walked over, one of the craftsmen with their heads lowered suddenly called out, "Anzhu …"
An Zheng was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized that he was familiar with this voice.
"You … Why are we here? "
"Anzhu, you asked me to go into the library to move the things. There are not many people inside."
An Zheng acknowledged and pointed to the library: "Go and clean up inside."
The craftsman lowered his head and trotted into the library. An Zheng purposely waited for a while, then pretended to be worried and followed him in. There was no one on the first floor, so An Zheng directly went to the second floor. The stairs had just been repaired and were still trembling as he walked up. When he arrived at the second floor, An Zheng saw that person, who definitely shouldn't be here … An Chengli.
"Eunuch An, why are you dressed like this?"
"Afraid of death."
An Chengli took off the cloth wrapped around his head. "I also do not know where else I can go, so I can only come to find you. There are spies everywhere in Heavenly Awakening Sect, so I don't dare go there. Thinking about it, the Martial Arts Academy is really deserted now. Those people can't even be bothered to monitor them anymore, it's easier to sneak in. "
"What happened?"
"Your Majesty …" The King must have had a problem. "
An Chengli sighed, and sat down tiredly: "Even though the King's actions and appearance are not too different, I still feel that there's a problem, that gaze … That gaze was definitely not something the King possessed. I suspect now that the King is under control, some kind of sorcery. Perhaps we were wrong from the start. The empress dowager didn't want to kill the King, but to control him.
An Zheng was silent for a while, before he shook his head and said, "That might not be true. If the empress dowager had such a method, she wouldn't have waited until now."
An Chengli was stunned for a moment. "That's true..."
An Zheng thought for a while and said, "This transformation should have started when the empress dowager got pregnant. A few days ago, the King told me that Her Majesty was already pregnant … Thus, the Empress Dowager was in no hurry to kill the King. She had to wait until the child was born. She controlled the King mostly to give her child a reasonable identity. I will start controlling the King now. When the time comes, I will tell everyone that the child is the King … The Empress Mother has turned her son into a grandson, and no one will doubt it. "
An Chengli nodded his head: "Your analysis is very logical, I'm afraid it's like that. His Majesty wanted nothing more than to be a queen, and when the child was
born, she would give birth to the king. If the King did not have descendants, the courtiers and officials below would definitely be in chaos. At that time, there would be countless people wanting to propose for the throne to be inherited by the other members of the royal family, who wouldn't want to control a Swallow King? However, since the King has such power, those courtiers and officials can't do anything about it either. "
An Zheng replied, "That's right. Before this child grows up, the empress dowager has many years to control the State of Yan. Even if she is not truly a king, she is still the only one who can make the decision. "
An Chengli sighed: "What a pity your majesty, you are so ambitious and can endure, but in the end you are still …"
An Zheng said: "It might not be impossible."
An Chengli said: "I can't go anywhere else for now, I can only rely on you. If the King was being controlled, that would be Nie Qing's goal in approaching the King. I escaped because I sensed that the King was going to kill me. Furthermore, once the King is under control, the matters of the Xiao Qi Dao cannot be concealed … Therefore, I must come and see you. You must protect the Xiao Qi Dao well, and teleport away as soon as you can.
An Zheng's face changed. This was the most terrifying thing.
In the Tiantong Palace, the only people who knew that the Xiao Qi Dao was the previous crown prince's flesh and blood were Mu Changyan and An Chengli. If the empress dowager knew the former crown prince was still alive, she wouldn't have stayed her hand.
"How many days do you think the King has been feeling weird?"
An Zheng asked.
An Chengli thought about it carefully: "It's been four or five days since Nie Qing entered the palace to act as his personal bodyguard."
An Zheng frowned, "That's not right. If the King had been controlled for a few days already, why did he only make his move on Xiao Qi Dao today? I guess, the one who controls the King and Nie Qing is definitely not the Empress Dowager Su. And this person is obviously selfish! "
