Repugnant Gateway 3

by Zhi Bai

  Empress Dowager Su said: "You just need to mind your own business, I guarantee that no one will disturb you."

  Zhen Dao climbed over to the ground and sat down, then began to take out the other two bugs. One of them went into Feng Xiuyang's nose, and the other one he himself swallowed. After the same wait, Feng Xiuyang's expression also became somewhat stiff. Zhen Dao extended out his hand and pressed on the air, causing all of the silver needles on Nie Qing and Yue Yang's bodies to sink into their skin. The silver needles actually circled around and formed a spiral shape, controlling Nie Qing and his limbs.

  "Go!"

  Zhen Dao shouted out lightly, causing Nie Qing and Feng Xiuyang to dumbly turn around, and walked out.

  Empress Dowager Su watched as the two left, and had no choice but to have a whole new level of respect for Zhen Dao. She took a deep breath, knowing that this was the most crucial moment. In truth, she didn't want to kill Mu Changyan at all. At least, now was not the time. If Mu Changyan really died, those people would definitely not allow themselves to become the rulers of this country. Hence, before he could completely eliminate the families that were obstructing her, it was extremely necessary for Mu Changyan to live.

  When the experts of the Embroidery Palace came out in full strength, the rebellion of the Gao Family would be wiped out before long.

  At the same time, the great families were also extremely patient. They would not allow Mu Changyan to leave the stage so quickly. Zhuge Chouyun's appearance was just the beginning. Even Mu Changyan himself didn't think that Zhuge Chouyun's appearance was due to him still being loyal to the Mu family. Of course, she wouldn't believe what Zhuge Chouyun had said either … She was too old, so he walked a bit slower and arrived a bit late.

  The reason Zhuge Chouyun had appeared at the most critical moment was because they had already seen Mu Changyan's trump card. Just as the empress dowager wanted to know what kind of card Mu Changyan held in his hand, those people from the big families also wanted to see what Mu Changyan held. They would only stop the Empress Dowager when Mu Changyan had played all of his cards.

  This wasn't just a game between the empress dowager and the Mu family, but a game played by the various great families for their own benefit.

  The group of court officials rushed towards Tiantong Palace in untidy clothes, then they kneeled down in front of Mu Changyan and cried out that they deserved to die ten thousand deaths for saving their master.

  Afterwards, the guards brought by the court officials began to encircle and annihilate the Gao family's assassins. Right at this time, the people from the Embroidery Palace also came. The appearance of the experts from Embroidery Palace gave the court officials a fright. They thought that the empress dowager was going to fight to the death with all her might. But no one would have thought that the people from the Embroidery Palace were actually targeting the Gao Family's assassins. With the arrival of so many experts, this assassination that the Gao Family had thought was magnificent had turned into a farce.

  By the time An Zheng rushed to Tiantong Palace, the matter had already come to an end.

  But because of this, An Zheng's heart became more and more worried. He had seen more ugliness than most people. The ruse and deceit of Da Xi's officials were even more severe than that of the State of Yan's. Back then, the reason why An Zheng did not care about all those lies was because he did not need to care about them at all. No one could touch him, no one dared to go against him openly. As one of the few people at the peak of the Da Xi Empire's power, he had enough power to intimidate anyone. Moreover, he also had a powerful individual strength. To him, these people could only be subservient.

  But after arriving at State of Yan, An Zheng had no choice but to remember all of this in his heart.

  The empress dowager's reaction was abnormal, there had to be some bigger conspiracy going on.

  An Zheng took advantage of the chaos to quietly stand at the side and watch the empress dowager passionately make her speech.

  "I never thought that someone in the Embroidery Palace would actually collude with a traitor! Lu Tianhui and Zhao Zishan, these two traitorous thieves, actually dared to assassinate the King.

  She actually bowed towards Mu Changyan.

  An Zheng suddenly understood... All of this was just the beginning, the empress dowager's plan was not just Mu Changyan? Lu Tianhui and Zhao Ziyan were sent by the State of Zhao. Although they were the empress dowager's trusted aides, they were also her pawns. The empress dowager used the power of the Gao Family to remove all of Mu Changyan's trump cards, as well as the spies State of Zhao had placed by her side, killing two birds with one stone.

  Who would dare question what the empress dowager was saying?

  Even Mu Changyan had no choice but to rush over and help the empress dowager up. Not only could he not blame her, he even wanted to comfort her. This is the abominable bureaucracy, this is the abominable heart.

  Just as An Zheng wanted to quietly retreat and take care of the matters of the Heavenly Awakening Sect's family, he saw Nie Qing, who had disappeared for a period of time. Nie Qing looked very calm, and had been standing behind Mu Changyan the entire time. At that time, An Zheng finally relaxed. With Nie Qing protecting him, at least he wouldn't have to worry so much. After exiting the Tiantong Palace, he stretched his back, thinking that it was time to take a look at the benefits the Heavenly Awakening Sect had obtained.

  But right at this moment, he suddenly stopped.

  He suddenly turned around, feeling as if he had missed something.

  Chapter 221 - Unable to Save Back

  Heavenly Awakening Sect

  Qu Liuxi smiled as she cupped her fists and bowed to the guests: "To think that Master Zhang would come to our Heavenly Awakening Sect as a guest. The Old Master should have sent someone to inform him in advance. We can also make some preparations.

  It was an old man. An old man who looked kind and kind at the same time. Speaking of which, no one had mentioned his name in the Jianghu, but no one dared to forget his existence. His name was Extreme Earth, the sect leader who was ranked second in the Fanggu. The owner of the Drizzle Court in the West City. In the capital, the most famous academy was of course the Great Cauldron Academy, and the most famous sect was of course the Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao.

  If one really counted them, then the top power in the martial arts world would be the Bright Mirror Temple of the Gao Family. The second ranked power would be the Drizzle Court.

  In the past, when Yue Xianyu, who was known as the number one expert in the great swallow, founded this sect, there was a period of time when no one was able to shake her position. That decade was also the beginning of the Gao Family's decline in strength. Although after Yue Xianyu's death, the Gao Family started to retaliate, seizing the position of the overlord in the martial arts world of the great swallow. However, the Gao Clan's strength had also been greatly reduced in this dispute. If it wasn't for the Rain Tower's constant challenges to the Gao Family over the years, the Gao Family wouldn't have had such a thinning family background.

  The spread of the martial arts world was even higher than Gao Yuanhu by two generations, and he was basically of the same generation as the old lady from the Gao Family, who rarely showed her face.

  This time, Ji Ji himself came to Heavenly Awakening Sect, which showed how important the Drizzle Court was to the Heavenly Awakening Sect.

  Although your Heavenly Awakening Sect has not been established for long and you do not have much manpower, this time, you have made this old man see you in a new light. This old man admires you even more for coming to this courtyard. A group of young people can actually take care of a sect in such a neat and orderly manner.

  After opening his eyes and sitting down, he asked: "Master An is still not back yet?"

  Qu Liuxi said: "The sect master has gone to the Tiantong Palace, he has not returned yet, but I have already sent people over. If there is nothing urgent, he will be back very soon."


  He spread his hands wide: "It's also not an urgent matter, the matters at Tiantong Palace are more important. Master An was young and promising. Furthermore, he had the trust of the King, so his future achievements were bound to be limitless. I am truly old, the martial arts world is the martial arts world for you young people. Although I can't accept old age, but when I see that you teenagers have already made a name for yourselves in the martial arts world, I have to admit that I really can't do it anymore. This old man cannot compare to your determination and your desire to improve. "

  Qu Liuxi said: "Senior, do not say that, when senior made a name for himself in the martial arts world, we were not even born yet."

  He opened his mouth and laughed, "In terms of seniority, the martial arts world does not rely on seniority, but on true skill. If you don't have the ability, I will personally make a trip here? "

  Qu Liuxi smiled and did not speak.

  I came here this time to thank Master An. On the west side of the city, he gave me a gift from the Drizzle Court. In return, I left a few words … From then on, our Drizzle Court and Heavenly Awakening Sect became allies. If someone from the east city is making things difficult for the Heavenly Awakening Sect, the Drizzle Court will not sit idly by. "

  He got up and said his goodbyes: "Help me tell Master An to come and go often in the future.

  Qu Liuxi said: "Thank you, old senior."

  After saying their goodbyes and leaving, the people of Heavenly Awakening Sect began to organize the territory they had fought for today.

  After he walked for about an hour, An Zheng returned from the Tiantong Palace. Qu Liuxi explained her purpose for coming here, and An Zheng smiled and said that it was Mr. Gu's best plan.

  To be honest, the Heavenly Awakening Sect had gained a lot this time. If not for Gu Chaotong's ingenious calculations, there would not have been such results. An Zheng had always been direct when doing things, but Gu Chaotong's considerations were clear and meticulous, the combination of the two was flawless.

  Du Shoushou excitedly followed behind An Zheng: "On the east side, at least half of the land now belongs to our Heavenly Awakening Sect. From now on, this entire street is the core of the snack bar, and it's all under our control. "

  An Zheng was startled for a moment. "What the hell is a street full of snacks?"

  Du Shoushou pointed outside: "When we reach the Fanggu, you will see those local thugs bullying people. Anyone who isn't especially guilty, will be taken over and placed on our streets, and sent people to watch over and not be bullied anymore. Because there are too many people here and all of them have snack bars, the people outside call our street a snack bar … The variety is exceptionally complete. "

  An Zheng could not help but laugh: "It sounds like I already have boundless merits."

  Du Shoushou: "You rarely go out at night, Aiyah, f * ck! When night comes, all the rough men on the street are standing at the entrance of your shop greeting customers, and you even have to speak softly. That scene is really beautiful."

  An Zheng said as he walked: "When we return and settle down, find some among them to persuade them to return to the main road and bring us a batch. We will continue to sell the rest. If you have time, you can set up a Master Chef Competition … Our sect offers five thousand silver as a reward, and whoever obtains the King Chef's silver will be given to him. "Let these guys study how to make the food taste good. I think doing this is more virtuous than letting it go."

  Du Shoushou said: "Alright, I will be the main examiner!"

  An Zheng waved his hand: "You can go prepare it. Go back and invite a few dancing and singing teams over.

  Du Shoushou said: "Why don't we do it this way? Why don't we have a holiday? Every year, we will have it a few times to attract people. The wine is free, and you can draw. "

  An Zheng said: "I feel that you are a waste of your talent to not go into business."

  Du Shoushou: "Do you think that I have wasted my years of service as your butler?"

  An Zheng laughed, and said while walking: "There is one more thing … The casinos we got are all closed. "

  Du Shoushou was startled for a moment. "Then what?"

  An Zheng shrugged his shoulders. "You are the main butler, the one who has the final say. If you have free time, you can stand on the stage with Mad Qu and perform. "But there's one thing..."

  An Zheng stopped and turned back to look at everyone: "I never felt that our Heavenly Awakening Sect was a famous and upright sect, as long as it was based on good intentions and it was against the evil, our Heavenly Awakening Sect's methods were even more vicious than theirs. That's why I'm never opposed to territorial feuds, never to violence. But... In the future, a brothel or a casino will not appear in the territory of my Heavenly Awakening Sect. Furthermore, using this opportunity, I will tell all of you that I don't object to secretly playing a card with a leaf, but if anyone dares to gamble with their life, I will cripple them first. In a place controlled by the Heavenly Awakening Sect, whoever violates these rules will either scram themselves or I will send them away. "

  Gu Chaotong, who was standing at the side, said: "But the Swallow People are good at gambling, would it cause the people within the power range of our sect to object?"

  An Zheng said: "I don't care if they are playing cards in their own home. If anyone comes out to set a trap, don't blame me for being rude. I've never been a virtuous person. It's my business to beat someone if they don't listen to me. It's too much trouble to expect me to persuade anyone to be kind. However, if you guys are willing to persuade him, then it's best if you don't do it. "

  Gu Chaotong was silent for a while, before he said: "It's fine to set up the rules from the beginning, but it won't be easy for us to set up the rules in the future. "The blood on the streets hasn't dried yet, and our people are still carrying murderous intent with them. Those people don't dare to oppose it."

  An Zheng pointed outside: "Isn't a street full of snacks good?"

  Gu Chaotong laughed: "Alright."

  An Zheng walked quickly into the courtyard, and said to Qu Liuxi in a low voice: "Help me check my injuries, I have been attacking too many times recently."

  Qu Liuxi's face became gloomy, and followed An Zheng in.

  After entering the room, An Zheng closed the door and smiled at Qu Liuxi: "I'm fine. I just have some things I want to ask you but I don't want others to know. I can only say that I'll have you take a look at my injuries, otherwise others would be too embarrassed to disturb me. "

  Qu Liuxi blushed: "What are you going to say …"

  An Zheng that idiot didn't notice the small anticipation on Qu Liuxi's face, and after she sat down she said in a serious tone, "I saw Nie Qing today, and I keep feeling that he's very strange. Although he was a person with a stern expression and his walking posture had always been upright, he looked a little stiff today. He had disappeared for a very long time and there was no injury on his body either. She also did not see Feng Xiuyang come back … Is there any way to control a person's medical skills? "

  Qu Liuxi was a little disappointed, but she quickly recovered. "There is, and there's more than one way."

  Of course, An Zheng knew that there must be a way. When he was the head of the Ming Fa Si at the Da Xi Empire, he had encountered this kind of thing. Back then, there was a homicidal maniac in Da Xi that was neither targeted nor motivated. It committed murder in various places and its methods were extremely cruel. Later on, this person was found by the Ming Fa Si and killed on the spot. However, not long after, another person came out to continue committing the crime. Originally, this kind of case would not alarm An Zheng, but An Zheng felt that this was strange, so he personally went to investigate. Not long after, the people of Ming Fa Si found a big case.

  At that time, the son of a duke was dreaming about setting up his own secret army to overthrow the Sacred Emperor. He had teamed up with a Taoist who was extremely talented in medicine and developed a method to control people. However, the method w
as too violent, so people who were controlled would often go crazy. After the case was investigated, someone advised An Zheng to let the matter go. After all, it involved a duke. However, An Zheng's personality was never one for doing things for personal gain, so he directly reported the case to Daxi Shenghuang.

  With Chen Wunuo's order, that unlucky duke clan who accompanied that unlucky child who was dreaming of spring and autumn were beheaded. In any case, that was a duke, an upright and proper royalty. When Chen Wunuo gave the order, he didn't even bat an eye. If one looked at it from a loose perspective, could that son of a duke really accomplish anything? Obviously he could not, in Chen Wunuo's eyes, it was just like a kid playing house. But when it was time to kill, Chen Wunuo would never treat this matter as a joke.

  Some things are the bottom line for the Emperor that cannot be touched.

  An Zheng didn't know why, but he felt that there was something wrong with Nie Qing.

  Later, An Zheng thought about it, maybe it was just a look. Although he and Nie Qing did not interact much previously, that feeling was irreplaceable when the two of them fought in the Martial Arts Academy.

  But today, Nie Qing looked at An Zheng with hostility.

  An Zheng carefully recalled, and he felt that Nie Qing's eyes did not belong to Nie Qing.

  That was why An Zheng asked Qu Liuxi, because he was worried that if Nie Qing was controlled by others, then there might be some even bigger conspiracy that had not been discovered.

  Qu Liuxi returned with a medical book in her arms: "There are at least four methods recorded in this medical book. Among them, the oldest and most mysterious is the Silver Needle Gu. Moreover, this silver needle insect technique was invented by the Swallow People. "

  She looked at An Zheng: "Those who are controlled, cannot be saved. "According to the records, it was reliable with absolute perseverance. However, no one succeeded …"
