Repugnant Gateway 3

by Zhi Bai

  An Zheng was stunned for a few seconds, then answered righteously. "No!"

  Qu Liuxi walked over to pack up: "But there's nothing else... I went back to clean up and told Xiao Yezi and co., I didn't have time to tell them when I came out. "I'll be back in a while, you rest well …"

  An Zheng wanted to get up and hug her, but his body wouldn't be able to support his ambitions.

  Qu Liuxi tidied herself up in a fluster and left. When she reached the door, she held up the black umbrella. "I will be back very soon. You are not allowed to leave."

  An Zheng nodded: "Understood, Mom."

  Qu Liuxi stared at him with a red face, then pushed open the door and left.

  Watching Qu Liuxi's figure disappear behind the door, An Zheng couldn't help but think that he would have to suffer from injuries from time to time in the future. There were noodles to eat, and …

  Just then, the window was opened by someone, and Chen Shaobai came in from the outside, "Aiyo, I'm so suffocated, tell me, you are such a fool, how could such a good girl like you? There is no justice in this world. I am so handsome and elegant, but I cannot get a single bit of true love from you. "

  He held the window, looking worried about the country.

  An Zheng: "Scram!"

  Chen Shaobai came down from the window: "Look, I actually treat you pretty well, right? I didn't even dare to go through the door for fear that the little girl would be embarrassed. I didn't knock on the window when she kissed you for fear you'd both be embarrassed. "I think I can hold back the word 'great' …"

  An Zheng said: "I don't like you."

  Chen Shaobai: "I welcome you."

  An Zheng shut his mouth.

  Chen Shaobai sat down beside An Zheng's bed, picked up the empty bowl and placed it next to An Zheng's mouth: "Come, let me personally feed you a mouthful of leftover soup."

  An Zheng: "Do you believe that I'll die for you to see now?"

  Chen Shaobai put down the bowl, "How boring... I know you have a lot to say to me, come on, I've got your confession ready. "

  An Zheng glared at him and asked, "Where the f * ck are you from?"

  Chen Shaobai shrugged his shoulders. "You are so childish, to think that you can even distinguish between the two … Do you think it's a child playing house? "I don't belong to either side, and I belong to the side that can bring me benefits."

  An Zheng: "So you're someone who has no bottom line?"

  Chen Shaobai: "Of course there is. Oh … And you, your inability to die is also my bottom line. "

  An Zheng suddenly asked: "Did you help me because of this?"

  He raised his hand and saw that the Blood Pearl Bracelet on his wrist was emitting a weak light.

  Chen Shaobai's expression changed, and then he laughed: "It's pretty good, and there's even Venus, how long has it been since you left?"

  An Zheng asked: "Can you be more honest?"

  Chen Shaobai said: "Forget it, it's meaningless once you say it. You are still recuperating obediently while I continue to bring disaster to the world. I said, you don't need to care which side I'm on, you only need to remember one thing … I'm on your side. "

  Chapter 211 - Small Decisive Battles

  Just as Chen Shaobai was about to leave, An Zheng shouted at his back, "What if we are to stand against each other in the future?"

  Chen Shaobai paused for a moment before turning his head to smile at An Zheng, "You still have to remember one thing … If I'm here, others won't be able to kill you. No one will be able to do it. If one day you and I stand against each other, no one will kill you and I will kill you. "

  An Zheng looked at him and said, "Perhaps you and I will eventually come to that step."

  Chen Shaobai said: "Why are you worrying about so many things in the future at such a young age? If you have the time, why don't you cultivate more? What you should be considering right now is … Even if you are a genius in the eyes of many, the gap between us is still difficult to bridge. No matter what happens, I will kill you. So if you have the time to think about it, you might as well become stronger, and not let me kill you too easily. "

  "Take care, farewell."

  An Zheng gestured to invite his in.

  Chen Shaobai shrugged his shoulders. "You ungrateful bastard."

  After saying that, he jumped out of the window. Before leaving, he turned his head back and smiled: "How was it?"

  An Zheng frowned: "What do you mean what do you think?"

  Chen Shaobai: "Everyone says that a smile will be the most enticing. How about it?"

  "Scram …"

  It was only after Chen Shaobai left that An Zheng remembered those questions that he should ask the most. Chen Shaobai was very mysterious. At the very least, there was a very big power supporting him from behind. Moreover, this force could very possibly be the demons that had disappeared from the martial arts world for many years. Old Huo said that the war that the demons had initiated was a calamity. There was also something about Chen Shaobai that was unable to differentiate between right from wrong, he only had likes and dislikes.

  An Zheng lied on his bed and carefully thought about his plan. As long as there were no problems, he should be able to delay it for a while.

  And at this time, in the Tiantong Palace, Mu Changyan's anger nearly ignited the roof.

  "One by one, how can I be so bold as to let you all handle such urgent matters?"

  He coldly looked at the row of youths standing in front of him: "I have clearly told you all that no matter what happens, you must always protect Chen Zaiyan and the rest, but what about you all?"

  One of the young men who looked to be in his mid-twenties said with his head lowered, "Your Majesty …" We're just worried about your safety. "

  Mu Changyan said coldly: "I don't need you to worry, what are your responsibilities? I did obey orders, but you guys have forgotten your own mission. Even if you are truly worried about my safety, you've still failed your duty. If not for An Zheng today, not a single person from the Army Department would have survived. So many of you have failed, but An Zheng managed to accomplish it alone! "

  Everyone lowered their heads, but in their hearts, they were not convinced.

  Mu Changyan pointed to the young man who spoke just now: "Duan Ren, from today onwards, you will no longer be the commander of the Black Tortoise Camp. When the new commander arrives, everyone in the Black Turtle Regiment will have to listen to his orders. "

  A hint of unhappiness flashed across the eyes of the young man called Duan Ren, but he hid it well: "This subject knows my wrongs."

  Mu Changyan looked at An Chengli: "Send someone to check on An Zheng's injuries later. When he's able to move, let him go to the Black Tortoise Camp. If we do not hand over the Black Tortoise Camp to someone who can make you feel at ease, it will destroy your hard work for the past few years! "

  Hearing that the Swallow King intended for An Zheng to become the new commander of the Black Tortoise Camp, Duan Ren lowered his head without raising it, but his eyes were filled with anger as he looked at the ground.

  What right did An Zheng have to be the commander of the Black Tortoise Camp?

  For the past few years, he had been the one in charge of the Black Tortoise Camp. Although on the surface, An Chengli had the final say in the Black Tortoise Camp, but in reality, An Chengli did not have the time to care about them. From discovering the talent that could be used to recruit this person, training, and arranging missions, which one of them was not done by Duan Ren? Now that An Zheng suddenly appeared and took away all of the achievements from his hands...

  Duan Ren lowered his head, so Mu Changyan wouldn't be able to see his eyes.

  Mu Changyan stayed silent for a while, before saying: "The past matters of the four battalions have all been pressed on An Chengli alone, he is also a little too tired. From today onwards, An Zheng will be in charge of reporting to Gu Yue. As for the other three battalions, An Chengli, you should still be in charge of them, right? "
/>
  An Chengli lowered his head: "This servant obeys."

  Mu Changyan waved his hand: "All of you can leave, An Chengli will stay behind."

  Everyone lowered their heads, and those who were dressed in imperial bodyguards' attire all left. They had already been ordered by An Chengli, and took advantage of the fact that quite a number of imperial guards had died today, and added to the chaos, they were all included in the palace. It was just that these things could not be hidden, and since Mu Changyan had brought these people up on the surface, then of course he would not be afraid of others finding out. He wanted to use this opportunity to change all the guards in Tiantong Palace.

  "How is Ma Ziwei?"

  Mu Changyan asked.

  An Chengli said: "Ma Ziwei has already confessed, but I feel that it is impossible to rely on Ma Ziwei alone. The empress dowager could completely be said to have framed Ma Ziwei, because it would be difficult to convict without any material evidence or certification. "

  Mu Changyan sighed: "Up until now, no one in the entire imperial court was willing to help Gu..."

  An Chengli sighed as well. He had captured Ma Ziwei with his life on the line, and it might not even have any meaning in the end.

  Mu Changyan sighed: "Forget it, we'll protect the remaining officials of the Military Department and protect them for one day. Gu Yong didn't know how long he could sit in this position. As long as Gu Shenwei was still there, he would do his best to let them live, even if it meant bowing and kneeling … They even felt wronged.

  Just at this time, an imperial bodyguard who had just been transferred to the Tiantong Palace walked in quickly, "Great King, there is someone who went to our Black Tortoise Camp's secret stronghold in the city. He said that it was arranged by An Zheng. Those who have returned from the eastern front lines are the personal guards of General Fang Zhiji. "

  Mu Changyan's expression changed drastically as he suddenly thought of something. "Bring him in immediately and gather everyone here to protect this person and ensure his safe passage to the palace."

  The guard quickly nodded his head, bowed, and left.

  After an entire two hours, Mu Changyan was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth in the house, his footsteps becoming faster and faster. An Chengli stood at the side with perspiration trickling down his palms. In fact, he was very clear that it was impossible for General Fang Zhiji to send people back at this time. It was because Fang Zhiji was not someone who was willing to participate in the conflicts in the imperial court. If he was willing, he would've showed his support for the Swallow King in the imperial court earlier.

  If there was anyone in great swallow's imperial court who could control the situation, it would be Fang Zhiji.

  At this time, Fang Zhiji's janissaries returned. Fang Zhiji was not the clairaudient of the clairvoyant, so it was impossible for him to know about the changes that had occurred in the imperial court. It had only been a few days since the soldiers had been arrested, and even if the news got out, they wouldn't be able to fly to the front lines of the eastern border. Therefore, this matter was filled with a strange feeling from both inside and outside. But when An Chengli heard that it was arranged by An Zheng, he had actually more or less guessed it.

  "Great King …"

  An Chengli knew that the Swallow King would definitely understand the strangeness of it all, but he had to point it out, because this was his responsibility.

  An Chengli said: "This personal guard, could be fake."

  Mu Changyan's footsteps stalled. He looked at An Chengli, and after being silent for a good while, he nodded: "Gu naturally knows that it's fake. It's not possible, it's definitely fake. However, at this time, it was not easy for An Zheng to think of this point. Not only did everyone know that this person was a fake, the moment this person appeared in the imperial court, everyone knew that it was fake … Of course, the empress dowager knew that it was fake, and what would she do about it, it would depend on how much of a pleasant surprise An Zheng brought to Gu. "

  An Chengli sighed in his heart … It was indeed like that, who could help Swallow King now?

  Two hours later, someone entered the Eastern Warm Pavilion.

  Two hours later, Tiantong Palace rang the golden bell that had been silent for many years.

  No matter which power, after they received the news, they had no choice but to rush to the Extreme Heaven Palace of the Tiantong Palace. When the golden bell rang, it meant that the Swallow King had an extremely important matter to attend to and urgently summon the officials. If someone did not come at this time, the Swallow King would be able to punish them for their crimes.

  Very quickly, the carriages outside the Tiantong Palace stopped, and each of them lifted up their clothes as they quickly ran towards the Extreme Heaven Palace.

  When the people of Embroidery Palace heard the bell ringing, they immediately went to report it to Empress Dowager Su. Empress Dowager Su did not understand what Mu Changyan was trying to do, so she could only instruct Su Mao, Su Zong and the rest who were still in the palace to rush over. She had arranged for many of the Embroidery Palace's guards to accompany her, especially since nothing would happen to Su Zong at this critical juncture.

  East Warm Pavilion

  Mu Changyan's face was a little pale, his lips were also very white. He was very nervous, he had never been this nervous before.

  "Is An Zheng here?"

  Mu Changyan asked.

  An Chengli asked himself what was going on with the Swallow King and wondered if it was the fourth time he had been here.

  "An Zheng is severely injured, even if he rushed over immediately, he shouldn't even be able to get there. King … Why must An Zheng come? "

  Mu Changyan shook his head, there were some things that he could not even tell An Chengli.

  Today's battle was likely to be the last battle. If he lost, he would completely lose the power to resist, and this Swallow King would truly live or die. So he had to account to An Zheng, and let An Zheng protect the Xiao Qi Dao well. If anything happened to him, the Xiao Qi Dao would be the only flesh and blood of the Mu Family. Whether or not the Mu Family can reclaim the mountains and rivers of the great swallow in the future was also up to the Xiao Qi Dao. If I win, this will be a whole new beginning...

  "Great King, An Zheng has already entered the Tiantong Palace."

  A guard quickly ran in and said.

  Mu Changyan nodded: "An Chengli, pass down the decree... An Zheng has done meritorious service before and was promoted to the position of a imperial bodyguard. "

  An Chengli reminded him: "The King has already made An Zheng his imperial bodyguard."

  Mu Changyan said: "That's just an empty title, right now I have to give him a guard in-house, Tiantong Palace Guard Vice Commander."

  An An Chengli wanted to remind Swallow King that An Zheng had levelled up a little too quickly. The Tiantong Palace Guard Vice Commander was a fourth stage official, and once he was released to be an official in the future, his starting point would be too high. An Zheng was still only fifteen or sixteen years old. If he were to stand at such a height, he would definitely be beyond redemption if he fell. An Zheng was already closely linked to the Swallow King. Once An Zheng fell, the Swallow King would also feel pain.

  But in the end, An Chengli still did not say anything. He did not want to disturb Mu Changyan's state of mind at this moment. An Zheng and the Swallow King were closely linked, wasn't it the same for him as well? Since the day he had chosen to stand on Swallow King's side, he had actually long been left with no way out. Once he fell down, he would be in a much more miserable state than An Zheng.

  "Let An Zheng stand beside me in the hall."

  Mu Changyan instructed, then looked at himself in the mirror. He very carefully arranged his clothes, then looked at the person standing by the side who proclaimed himself to be Fang Zhiji's personal guard …

  The battle today was all because of this person. Even if it wasn'
t the final battle with the empress dowager, it was still a small one. If he lost the small decisive battle, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to participate.

  Chapter 212 - Nice Face

  An Zheng felt pain, from head to toe, there was not a single part of his body that wasn't in pain.

  He was actually not interested in this kind of promotion at all. As the former head of the Great Western Ming Fa Si, he was definitely one of the ten most powerful people in the world. To him, the Swallow King seemed to be an exceptionally heavy reward, but to him, it did not attract him at all. Besides, he didn't come for these rewards. Since it was revenge, of course he had to be decisive.

  When you have a bit of strength, think of a way to take revenge. When you have a bit of strength, don't hold back. If he had the kindness to take revenge on behalf of the world, then he wouldn't care at all.

  The Empress Dowager Su was An Zheng's biggest enemy in the State of Yan. Since An Zheng didn't have the strength to go and take revenge on Da Xi, he would first take out all of his enemies in the State of Yan.

  The An Zheng of the past was looked up to by others. The current An Zheng has a bit more pure me, maybe some people would feel that this An Zheng is a little selfish … Please, this is revenge, not child's play.

  Two guards of the Black Tortoise Camp were waiting for him at the entrance. Seeing An Zheng come over, the two of them supported him to a room at the guard's side and helped him change clothes. The seemingly very elegant and brilliant Imperial Guard Vice Commander's uniform, black silk clothes, and apricot-colored collar and cuffs made An Zheng look even more tall and handsome. Although he couldn't be considered a beautiful man, his valiant aura was still quite lethal to girls.

  An Zheng received the long blade that symbolized the identity of the Tiantong Palace's bodyguard.

  An Zheng hung up his blade, and his mind was in a daze for a moment … It was as if he had returned to the state when he was working in the Ming Fa Si.
