  An Zheng nodded: "According to the development of the matter, it is indeed so. Swallow King was probably really angry this time and ordered the royal experts to hunt down Mu Chang An. It was a pursuit, not a pursuit. But those experts were bribed by the Empress Dowager Su and were killed after they caught up to Mu Chang An. "

  An Zheng took a sip of tea to ease his emotions, "And the current Swallow King, is secretly in love with the Great Mother Ye. This person has a very … How should he put it? He had been a good kid since he was young and had never done anything out of line. The only time, he had secretly left the Tiantong Palace and saved him in a moment of danger. At that time, Great Mother Ye should have just gotten pregnant. "

  Gu Qianye asked: "And then Mu Changyan went to the Fantasy City to protect the Great Mother Ye?"

  An Zheng shook his head: "No, Great Mother Ye didn't like Mu Changyan and she didn't want to implicate him, so she hid herself. After that, she gave birth to the Xiao Qi Dao and went to the Fantasy City to live in seclusion. Unknowingly, Mu Changyan managed to get hold of some news and has chased all the way to the Fantasy City to become the city lord, so they could secretly protect Xiao Qi Dao's mother and son. "

  Gu Qianye frowned. "So, in the current State of Yan, only Mu Changyan knows that the empress dowager Su Qingnuan does not know that the former crown prince Mu Chang An has a successor."

  An Zheng said: "It should be, given Mu Changyan's feelings for the Great Mother Ye, he shouldn't reveal this matter. However, this person had a cowardly personality. Escaping once in secret was already the limit of his courage. So in front of the Empress Dowager Su, he simply does not have the power to resist. "

  Gu Qianye asked: "Since Empress Dowager Su planned all of this for his son, why did she arrange for Mu Changyan to inherit the position of the Swallow King?"

  An Zheng replied: "It's because her son met with an accident … A man is no better than a god. Empress Dowager Su thought that if he succeeded, as long as he killed Mu Changyan, he could make sure that his son became the crown prince. But who would have thought that at the same time that all the attention in Empress Dowager Su was focused on Mu Chang An and Great Mother Ye, at the house in Great Mother Ye … In order to avenge their master, they used a year of time to sneak into Tiantong Palace. They originally wanted to assassinate Su Qingnuan, but accidentally killed a child. "

  Gu Qianye's expression changed, the emotions in her eyes became even more complicated: "The adults were calculating and scheming, but they harmed the child's life. This... I don't know how to explain it, but for Empress Dowager Su, it's a form of retribution, but as for that kid, he didn't do anything wrong. "

  An Zheng said: "That's right, it's not like a child did anything wrong. It's just that it's pitiful for him to have such a mother. After losing his son, the Empress Dowager Su's personality became more violent. At that time, the Swallow King was already very sick, and in order to have another son to inherit the throne, she did not hesitate to give a lot of tonics to the severely ill Swallow King. She wanted to conceive another child, but ended up killing Swallow King in the end. "

  "After the death of the Swallow King, the Empress Dowager Su held the most authority. But she did not dare to be too presumptuous, so she had to send people to search for Mu Changyan. "

  Gu Qianye organized An Zheng's words for a while, then said: "In other words, Mu Changyan is now a puppet of the Empress Dowager Su. But Mu Changyan was still loyal to the Great Mother Ye, so he would definitely not sell him out. But that is not guaranteed, because the moment Su Qingnuan knows the identity of Xiao Qi Dao, he will immediately send people to kill him. "

  An Zheng acknowledged: "That's right."

  Gu Qianye sat on the window with her butt facing up, and her long legs swinging, "So why did we come?"

  She looked at An Zheng. "If it's to protect the Xiao Qi Dao, then we might as well be in Fringe City."

  An Zheng said: "Because the Xiao Qi Dao wants my mother."

  Gu Qianye opened her mouth. She knew this was enough reason.

  "So."

  An Zheng continued to speak: "I know that we cannot hide, we have arranged for a lot in Fringe City, if we investigate, it will be difficult to find out our background, but you must not underestimate any countries' intelligence agencies. We can change our names and identities, but this way, our sudden appearance will cause more people to be curious and investigate. As long as you and I, including myself and Du Shoushou, enter the Martial Academy, as long as we participate in the Grand Autumn Ceremony s, would we remain unknown? "

  Gu Qianye said, "Bullsh * t."

  An Zheng laughed: "Several talented youngsters appeared all of a sudden, do you think those people in the State of Yan are not curious? At that time, we would be able to check any strength that the military and Zaocang have on us. Rather than that, it would be better to have the army and the Zaocang take us as friends from the start, and be on their own, and reveal some real things to them. That way, they wouldn't need to investigate any further. "

  "Furthermore, with the help of the military and the Zaocang, even if the other powers wanted to help, they would have some reservations."

  Gu Qianye asked curiously: "Why are you thinking about so many things, how old are you?"

  An Zheng: "I'm not young anymore, according to the customs of the Yan people, I can already get married at the age of fourteen, I'm fifteen."

  Gu Qianye immediately came over: "Then tell me, are you going to marry me or the Xiao Liu'er?"

  In that case, Qu Liuxi would definitely not be able to ask. However, Gu Qianye could directly ask and not only that, her face was not red, but her heart was not beating fast.

  An Zheng said seriously: "But I feel that I'm still very young, and that studying is the most important."

  Gu Qianye curled her lips: "This reason is too perfunctory, not even the slightest bit of sincerity. To tell you the truth, isn't it hard to choose? Xiao Liu'er is so obedient, I am so cute and generous, yet you love me, right? "

  An Zheng opened the book: "I wonder if the Grand Autumn Ceremony's examination questions will be difficult."

  Gu Qianye sat on the desk and raised An Zheng's face as he looked straight into his eyes: "No matter how difficult the test is, it's impossible to understand a woman's heart."

  An Zheng, "Cough, cough …"

  Gu Qianye jumped down from the table: "This is so boring, I will go bully Xiao Liu'er instead."

  She walked out with her hands behind her back, looking like an old gentleman.

  Not long after she left, Du Shoushou came in: "An Zheng, didn't you want to go to the army headquarters?

  An Zheng: "I was just entangled by the Little Demon Empress, how do I get there?"

  Du Shoushou snickered: "Xiao Liu'er is little pure, Gu Qianye is little demon, I'll make you suffer. Just a moment ago, the Fanggu sent someone over to tell us to go to the magistrate court.

  "Let the Mad Qu go, he knows how to argue more than anyone else. "You will follow me to the military then to the Martial Arts Academy."

  An Zheng stood up, "Fanggu will not put us in his eyes, but we do not dare to offend the troops and the dojo. General Wang Kaitai kept a close eye on this matter, the Fanggu did not dare to disrespect him.

  "I'll take a trip to the generous agency."

  Du Shoushou asked: "Where else are you going?"

  "I've said it before, generous is about to close down. As a man, you have to keep your word."

  An Zheng tidied up his clothes, and said while walking out: "Do you know how to get along with local serpents? It was to become a new snake as soon as possible. If we can't even do such a small thing in one go and we won't be able to turn the situation around, how will we be able to stand up in Fanggu? "

  Du Shoushou: "I like someone as reasonable as you. You have your word."

  An Zheng: "Do you still remember what I said? We are all good people."

  Du Shoushou immediately said: "Of course I remember. You said it before, it w
as always being arrogant and despotic, being a good person and keeping a low profile. That's not right. Being a good person should be more of a high key, a high key to the heavens. From today onwards, let us speak for the good guys … We are rich, we have power, we are domineering, but we are good people, we are the ones who deal with all kinds of grievances. "

  Chapter 70 - Excavation

  "In your previous opinion, should there be a bad person like him?"

  An Zheng pointed backwards.

  Du Shoushou nodded with all his might: "The two scoundrels are walking in the front, followed by twenty to thirty black-clothed men walking behind them, and their posture is extremely arrogant. This is definitely the standard way for bad people to travel.

  An Zheng said, "How can there be such a thing as beauty? Look at us, we have both beauty and vigor."

  Just as he finished his sentence, a carriage drove into the city. It shook its bell as it ran over. Because the city was too big, there were carriages and horses to go through. If a carriage travelled through the city on a fixed route, they would be able to arrive at the destination with five big bucks. Generally speaking, the carriages that passed through the city were rather rough, otherwise, it wouldn't be good to be intimidated by customers that didn't pay. These type of people who drove large carts were usually very arrogant. They would basically not give way to small cars such as pedestrians' carts.

  "Halt!"

  Three to five of An Zheng's underlings ran over and stood on the street, clutching their waists as their imposing manner was so intimidating that they immediately stopped in their tracks.

  "Da …" Great sir, what orders do you have? "

  The coachman trembled as he asked.

  Usually, they might not even be afraid of the riders, but An Zheng had a lot of people, with three to five strong men blocking the way, and there were still twenty people behind. Even if the carriage driver encountered this kind of situation, he could only admit his defeat.

  The burly man standing in front of him was so muscular that even through his clothes, one could feel the goosebumps all over his body. With his sleeves rolled up, the muscles on his forearm could cause any ordinary person to tremble in fear. The man's voice was rough as he pointed at the handlebars, "How do you drive?" Didn't you see that there was an old granny who was about to cross the road?

  The two burly men pulled the horse, and the burly man who had spoken ran over to help the old granny who was crossing the street. "Slow down, granny. We're not in a hurry."

  Her voice was so gentle that it sounded like she was coaxing a child.

  Du Shoushou looked at the surrounding crowd, feeling that they were having a strange expression.

  "They seem to have seen a monster."

  Du Shoushou said.

  An Zheng laughed: "It's fine, as long as I watch too much it's good."

  After the burly man helped the old granny across the road, he waved his hand. "Let's go, let's go. Next time pay more attention!"

  The voice was loud like a bell.

  The coachman nodded quickly and whipped the horse away, looking back from time to time.

  As An Zheng and the rest were walking forward, they finally heard a heartfelt sigh from the crowd: "Damn it, this daddy thought that they were going to fight, shouldn't a group of big men stop their carriages and beat them up? Why the f * ck are they helping this old lady across the road?"

  After An Zheng heard this, he felt that there was a hint of anger in his words that his father had taken off his pants for him to see.

  The man seemed to find it boring and pushed the man away, but when he pushed the man away he pushed a little kid away. He even scolded a good dog for not blocking the road, a little dog for blocking the road, and your parents were not well-bred wild dogs.

  Du Shoushou was infuriated. Taking a big stride, he reached out and grabbed the front part of the man's clothes, raising it up to three or four big mouths and slapped them. The first blow had caused a flower to bloom at the corner of that person's mouth, blood spurting out. The man was beaten senseless. After a while, he was unable to retaliate in time and was forced to a pulp by Du Shoushou. In less than a minute, the person was already on his knees, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

  Someone shouted, "What right do you have to beat me? This is too much."

  Du Shoushou asked: "Did you see when he was bullying little kids?"

  Someone from the crowd shouted, "Even if you are bullying little kids, you shouldn't just casually beat people up. Kids aren't afraid of falling, just get up and cry. "

  An Zheng walked over and said: "Even a child shouldn't be afraid of falling, just cry a bit, for a man of his age, naturally isn't afraid of beating me up, just cry a bit."

  The man raised his head and looked at An Zheng.

  The man froze, then shook his head. Du Shoushou then beat him up again, and the man finally cried.

  An Zheng stood there and asked the person who spoke to the man: "What if your child is pushed down by someone who looks like you guys can't beat him? It's probably a bit of a revulsion, isn't it? Then someone helped you guys to teach him a lesson, but you all thought the person who taught him a lesson was too much … That's why I feel that I can describe you with a single word. How despicable. "

  Du Shoushou said seriously: "Those two words, each word is really f * cking cheap."

  The surrounding people looked at each other, thinking that they were looking at a monster.

  A scholar-like person stood there and shouted, "You are bullying the weak. I will write it down for the society to criticize you for your acts of bullying!"

  An Zheng asked: "Do you have enough ingredients?"

  The scholar asked, "What do you mean?"

  An Zheng pointed at him: "Hit him once, and let him have more things to write."

  Then four or five burly men walked up and beat the scholar up to the point that his clothes were disheveled and his face swollen.

  An Zheng walked in front of the scholar and asked, "Do you still dare to write an article to expose your atrocities?"

  The scholar cried, "I don't dare to do that again."

  An Zheng sighed: "Then I'll have to beat you up again. If you still dare to write, I'll respect you as a man. Because the one being beaten was someone else, if you dared to write, then you wouldn't dare to write if the one being beaten was you. "So, I feel that it's useless to hit you again. If you dare to write, I feel that you will make things bigger, and maybe I won't dare to hit you anymore."

  The scholar was stunned. "What logic is this?"

  An Zheng: "That doesn't make sense."

  Then he got someone to beat the scholar up again.

  The surrounding people started to retreat, because no one knew if An Zheng would let them get beaten up as well. As for the mother of the child that had been pushed down, she was already running away with the child in her arms. No one knew where she had gone to.

  An Zheng did not bother about it anymore. After all, the things that he had witnessed these few years were not enough to affect his state of mind. After beating up that man, that scholar, An Zheng still felt a little angry that he was unable to come out.

  Sure enough, the Auction House was still open, but there were no guests. Yesterday's incident wasn't small. No one dared to go to a generous agency to look for a place to rent. It was known to all that this was a scam shop.

  The few thugs at the entrance of the magnanimous agency saw An Zheng bringing twenty to thirty men over aggressively, and after exchanging a few glances with each other, they turned around and ran away.

  Inside the house, Zhou Wanqian, who had his hand broken yesterday, Gou Hanshi's father, and Gou Hanshi's wife were discussing countermeasures when they suddenly felt as if a thick, black cloud had pressed down on them from outside. When he turned to look, An Zheng had already brought his men in.

  Upon seeing An Zheng, Zhou Wanqian couldn't help but shiver. Master Gou glared angrily and Madam Gou leapt up as if she had been shocked
by lightning, "You bastards who have received a thousand cuts, scum, scum who don't come from the outside, those cowards who have destroyed my man, I'll fight you to the death!"

  Just as she was about to rush over, Zhou Wanqian reached out a hand to hold her back, "Madam, don't be rash."

  An Zheng looked around. The room was luxuriously decorated, with a dozen attendants present, but no one dared to come up.

  One of the big sized men moved a chair for An Zheng. After An Zheng sat down, he looked at the people from the magnanimous agency and said: "Yesterday, I told you to close down your business, but you guys obviously didn't take my words seriously. How about this, I'll give you a way out … I'll give you a month's time. According to your records, find all the people you've tricked and return the silver back. Then, I won't beat them up. If you all leave the Fanggu obediently, I will not pursue this matter anymore. "

  Zhou Wanqian found it hard to believe, "This sir, it's not that we don't want to follow your instructions, but it's just that we can't do it."

  "Why?"

  "Because... Because we cheated too many people. Those people who came to the Fanggu from outside the sect may not all have a lot of silver on them. However, after giving us the deposit, we will continue to deceive them because they have already taken the bait. We ignored them until we had squeezed out all their money. These people lost their money, who knows where they could go. Perhaps, they are already dead … "

  At this time, Zhou Wanqian's words didn't seem to have any meaning.

  An Zheng nodded, "So that's how it is, right … As long as you enter your door and pay the deposit, you think you're idiots that can keep deceiving us, right? And most of these people are from outside the city, so they can't afford to offend you. Since they have no money and no one can rely on them, you do not know what will happen to them, nor do you need to know. In the past few years, have there ever been anyone who was able to force themselves to die, or even have their entire family killed, than you all naturally do not want to know, right? "

  "What does it have to do with you!"

  Madam Gou rushed out of the crowd and was about to grab An Zheng by the face.
