Zhuang Feifei walked over with a smile, her eyes bent like crescent moons. "What's wrong, you took advantage of the situation when no one was around to tease that young lady just now?"
An Zheng asked: "Am I that kind of person?"
Zhuang Feifei asked. "You are not?"
An Zheng thought for a moment, then answered: "Maybe, sometimes."
Zhuang Feifei laughed: "This isn't like when we were in Mount Cang Man, where you said that when you grow up … Some of you come back to see my little mister. "
An Zheng turned his head: What business do you have with me?
Zhuang Feifei was silent for a moment, and said with a hidden bitterness: "It's been a long time since you last went to Zaocang..."
An Zheng lowered his head, "Oh … Too many things have happened recently. "
Zhuang Feifei also didn't know what was going on with him, but after thinking about it for a while, she could only explain it with the words' it's a little too tiring '. She reached out to touch An Zheng's forehead: "Are you uncomfortable?"
An Zheng was so frightened that he retreated, "Don't touch me!"
Zhuang Feifei was shocked, her eyes filled with fear.
Chapter 229 - Spatial Treasures
Zhuang Feifei was shocked by An Zheng's sudden change. She subconsciously retracted her hand, like a frightened little white rabbit. After An Zheng finished shouting, he turned around and looked at another direction with guilt.
"What's the matter with you?"
Zhuang Feifei asked carefully, her voice was so soft that it made one's heart ache.
An Zheng shook his head: "Nothing, maybe it's because I've been worrying about too many things recently, so I'm a little absent-minded … What business do you have with me? "
Zhuang Feifei saw that An Zheng's expression was a little strange, so she did not ask anymore. She stared blankly at the hand she stretched out and then retracted it again for a good long while, before returning to her usual businesslike attitude. Perhaps, the only thing left after so many years was her self-esteem.
"General Fang Daozhi and General Wang Kaitai from the Military Department led their troops and captured the Gao Family. The Gao Family clearly escaped in a hurry and did not take many things with them. The King asked the Ministry of War to sort and sort the items, but they could not spare the manpower at all. As you know, most of the officials in the military had died, and every one of them was injured. It was not easy to maintain the military operation, so how could they sort out so many things? Furthermore, there are not many people with the capability to appraise treasures in the military. "
"That's why Senior Chen gave the King a report and handed the matter over to Zaocang. A few days ago, the Zaocang was sealed and many shop assistants were dismissed. It would not be easy for them to gather people from all over the place for one or two days. So I asked Master Chen to help me. "
An Zheng nodded his head: "Since it is an arrangement by the army, I will go take a look."
Zhuang Feifei acknowledged before asking, "When can we leave?"
An Zheng thought for a while, then replied: "Now."
Zhuang Feifei saw that An Zheng's expression had calmed down a bit and said gently: "You might really be too tired recently, so leave the daily affairs of Heavenly Awakening Sect to others to handle. You rest more."
An Zheng acknowledged, "Thank you."
Zhuang Feifei had a nagging feeling that An Zheng was trying to distance himself from him on purpose, and she didn't understand why. She guessed that it might have been because Zaocang's men did not attack during the battle, so An Zheng felt that Zaocang's men were ungrateful. She knew An Zheng's character, and there was a kind of chivalry in his bones. Therefore, she explained as she walked, "A few days ago, when the elders of the military were imprisoned, the Zaocang was sealed as well. Old mister Zhang Yi Fu and I are under the protection of the Embroidery Palace, so the majority of the Zaocang's troops have been disbanded, so … "
An Zheng shook his head: "I knew it. I had planned to save you guys, but after thinking about it, the important thing was to save Senior Chen from the War Department. As long as Lord Chen and the rest can be spared, you will all be released. "
Zhuang Feifei also didn't know what to say, she just felt that although they were walking shoulder to shoulder, the two of them were walking further and further away.
She carefully recalled when An Zheng changed his mind and then, she suddenly thought of something. Her expression became especially unsightly.
She had actually forgotten that her husband had also participated in the Mount Cang Man incident. She knew that An Zheng was investigating, but how could he be careless and forget about such an important matter?
She opened her mouth, but no words came out.
An Zheng called over a hundred people from the Heavenly Awakening Sect to reorganize the military academy's captain. However, there was nothing much to do in the Martial Arts Academy now. Even if the academy were to start recruiting new students, no one would be willing to register at this critical juncture. Everyone knew that the Embroidery Palace was targeting the Martial Arts Academy, and even the Grand Autumn Ceremony Martial Arts Academy was almost unable to participate. To send his children to the Martial Arts Academy at this time was undoubtedly destroying his own future. Especially those from the Humble Class. Their descendants were fortunate enough to have the talent to cultivate. This was the greatest chance to change their fates. How could they send a child into the Martial Arts Academy?
Qu Liuxi, Gu Qianye and Du Shoushou were bored and had nothing to do, so they followed An Zheng to the Zaocang.
When they reached the Zaocang Headquarters, they were shocked by the chaos in the courtyard. The entire back yard of Zaocang was piled full of boxes. There were only a few shop assistants in Zaocang who were trying to sort them out, but there were simply too many things for them to do.
Eldest Manager Zhang Yi Fu was so busy that his forehead was covered in sweat. Seeing that An Zheng had arrived, Zhang Yi Fu's expression immediately became better: "Master An, I've finally invited you over."
An Zheng hurried over to support Zhang Yi Fu. "Eldest manager has worked hard, there is no need to be courteous with this junior."
Zhang Yi Fu shook his head: "In the business of appraising treasures, although I value seniority greatly, my seniority in the State of Yan is also considered to be very high. But in reality, it all depended on one's ability. Even though you are young, I am well aware of the fact that you are more experienced than me. If it wasn't because I am too old and can't bring down my face, I would really like to acknowledge you as my master. "
An Zheng said: "Head storekeeper, you don't have to say it like that, your experiences cannot be compared with me."
Zhang Yi Fu said, "Experience is one thing, but talent is indeed more important. I have never seen a young man with a talent like yours. "
He pulled An Zheng inside: "Come, take a look, what's this?"
He took out something from a box and handed it over to An Zheng. It looked like a square piece of metal, but it was very heavy. It was densely packed with characters that looked similar to Sanskrit, but were not Sanskrit. The words were twisted in a strange way that made them look like intertwined snakes.
"Alchemy Book Metal Voucher!"
"The ancestor of the Gao family once received two Gold Medallions of Immunity. This should be one of them. "However, it's very strange. Why is the Alchemy Book Iron Voucher written in the Liu-Li Country, one of the three thousand Buddhist Kingdoms in the Western Regions?"
Zhang Yi Fu was practically prostrated before An Zheng. He could roughly guess what it was, but he was not sure. Of course he knew that the Gao Family had two Alchemy Book Metal Vouchers, but it was completely different from the Alchemy Book Metal Vouchers that were issued after the establishment of the great swallow.
"I see."
An Zheng suddenly thought of a possibility. "The Gao Family is not a Swallow."
Zhang
Yi Fu pondered for a while, then said: "Then no wonder, there is indeed a rumor that the ancestor of the Gao family who followed the Swallow King into the martial world looked different from the Yan people, with his red hair and thick eyebrows, and his eyes were as big as bells. After more than a hundred years, the Gao Family and the Swallow People have been continuously marrying. Their appearances are almost the same as the Swallow People's. "
An Zheng said: "If the Gao Family's ancestor really was a person from the Kingdom of Liu Li, then it is no wonder that he chose to withdraw from the imperial court. He knew that he was an outsider, and the Swallows often said that the heart of a non-member of my race must be different. The ancestors of the Gao family were worried that their descendants would be envied by others due to their excessive power, resulting in the possibility of death. But he should never have thought that his descendants would end up like this. "
Just as he was about to return the certificate back, his expression suddenly changed, "No … This thing is not only a Gold Medallion for killing, it's also a magical equipment! "
Zhang Yi Fu was stunned. "But there is no aura of a magical equipment on it."
An Zheng flipped it over and over, counting down the few unique words on the Alchemy Book Iron Voucher. Suddenly, a bright light emitted from the Alchemy Book Iron Voucher, after which, everyone felt their vision go dark, and when they looked again, they were no longer in the Zaocang's backyard.
"This is a secret room."
An Zheng looked at it, "So it's actually a very special spatial artifact. It seems like the Gao Family members left in a hurry, they didn't even take away such a good thing."
Zhang Yi Fu sighed, "An ordinary cultivator would have their own personal space magic tool. However, there aren't many things that they can store. Even if it was a red-rank spatial artifact, it could at most cover a three meter radius. I have never seen a dimensional artifact from the Golden-Rank, which is said to be as big as a room. It seems like the Alchemy Book Iron Voucher has actually been forcefully turned into a Golden-Rank tool by the Gao Family. "
Gu Qianye muttered to herself, "You've never seen a Heaven Defying Seal before, so going in would give you a big shock."
Fortunately, no one paid any attention to her, as they were all attracted by the things around them.
The space inside the Alchemy Book Voucher was as big as two rooms. Although there weren't many things inside, each one of them was precious enough.
"Quick, look!"
Qu Liuxi couldn't help but run over excitedly and open a transparent treasure box. Inside the box were three Golden-Rank pills, and they were old, and the moment she opened the box, they radiated with light. Seeing Qu Liuxi's eyes start to shine, she knew the value of these three golden pellets.
Qu Liuxi turned her head to look at An Zheng, and her eyes flashed...
An Zheng said: "Buy, buy, buy... I'll have to trouble First Mr to assess the price later. Leave this thing for us, if we are unable to gather that much silver at the moment, I will pay a portion of the deposit to you first. "
Buy, buy, buy.
It was that simple and direct.
Zhuang Feifei looked at Qu Liuxi and laughed, "He's really nice to you … The price of these three golden cores was simply incalculable. However, this thing is hidden in the Alchemy Book Iron Voucher. Even if I know the heavens and the earth, I don't, so what kind of money do I need? If Sister Qu likes it, I'll give it to you as a gift. Save all the good friends and friends, they were all snatched away by An Zheng. "
An Zheng wanted to say that he should still buy it, but seeing Zhuang Feifei's smiling eyes, he was unable to say anything.
"Thank you, Sister Zhuang!"
Qu Liuxi jumped over, and hugged Zhuang Feifei's arm as she shook it.
Gu Qianye pouted. "I also want a present."
With a wave of Zhuang Feifei's hand, she said heroically: "The things in this house, what you have picked, I'll give them to you."
Gu Qianye cheered as she dragged Qu Liuxi to pick one up.
An Zheng turned his head and suddenly felt a wave of energy, or perhaps a faintly discernible sound, pulling him to look towards the corner. An Zheng felt that it was a little strange, he walked to the corner and discovered that there were a lot of things there, but it should be something that the Gao Clan would find hard to define, so he placed it there temporarily. At the very top was a shield, which An Zheng could immediately feel that it was a magic equipment.
Turning over the shield, An Zheng's heart fiercely shook.
Beneath the shield, there were three Holy Fish Scale s.
"You and this thing are really fated."
Zhuang Feifei also saw those Holy Fish Scale, "From the Mount Cang Man onwards, these scales of unknown origins have always appeared. Since heaven is fated to be yours, you can just take it with you. "
An Zheng did not reject and thanked his. He just didn't know how he should continue to get along with Zhuang Feifei. Obviously not. Cold gradually? Could he really do it?
Until now, An Zheng had already obtained eight Holy Fish Scale. However, according to Gu Qianye's explanation, there were a total of one hundred and eight Holy Fish Scale, which meant that An Zheng had only gotten a fraction of that amount. However, it was as if there really was a type of power that guided An Zheng, or it could be said that due to luck, An Zheng was able to find them.
When Gu Qianye ran over and saw the Holy Fish Scale, she looked at An Zheng with eyes filled with radiance. "I told you, you are a heaven chosen saint!"
Chapter 230 - You're Qualified
A heaven chosen saint?
An Zheng did not think that this was a good occupation.
There were at least a hundred items in this secret chamber, and each one was a treasure. Even if the items in the yard were not sold out, just the treasures in the house alone would be enough to cover the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and millions of commoners in the frontline. But in the State of Yan, these things were not easy to take action against.
An Zheng thought for a while and said, "The best way is to sell them to the people of the Da Xi Empire. The lowest price would be 20%. If he used too many good items at once, the value would also drop. However, there was no time to think about it now. great swallow was in need of money. The only one who can eat all these things in one go is Da Xi's business. "
An Zheng looked around: "I will set the price, big shopkeeper will check to see if I did anything wrong."
Zhang Yi Fu quickly waved his hand. "I don't dare to accept it. Let me cooperate with you."
An Zheng began to set a price on everything in the secret room. He didn't use too many things out of the hundred that he had. He roughly estimated that this amount of silver was enough to let all the citizens of great swallow enjoy a beautiful month.
Zhang Yi Fu reminded Zhuang Feifei: "These things are extremely valuable, luckily only the few of us know, if it were to be leaked out, with our current Zaocang's manpower, we wouldn't be able to protect it."
An Zheng thought for a while and said: "How about this, I will arrange for some people to transport the things to the Da Xi and find a reputable auction house to put them away. The silver was collected separately in different parts of the Great Xixi before being transported to the front line in batches. "Also, take out some silver and buy them directly from the Da Xi Kingdom."
Zhuang Feifei nodded her head: "I will go report to Master Chen tonight."
Seeing that he had finished looking through the things in the house, An Zheng turned to leave. Then, she saw the depressed Gu Qianye. She looked around but didn't find anything she liked.
An Zheng looked around and confirmed that there was nothing suitable for him. But right at this moment, good old man, who was originally in Du Shoushou's embrace, suddenly mewled towards a corner. Du Shoushou immediately turned around, not daring to let Zhang Yi Fu see his eyes. Zhang Yi Fu and Zhuang Feifei were busy, and did not mind.
An Zheng walked towards that direction an
d discovered that it was the shield that he had seen before. Previously when he picked it up and checked it, he realized that it was a demon equipment, but An Zheng did not think that it was too precious, hence he did not pay much attention to it. good old man shouted as stars started to flow in his eyes. Obviously, this thing was not ordinary. An Zheng looked carefully, and saw that the shield seemed to have a small mechanism. He pressed it, and a white bone actually popped out from the shield.
It was half the size of a palm and looked like an arm bone. An Zheng turned around and glanced at Gu Qianye. He realized that even Gu Qianye herself didn't notice, and the pendant under her clothes floated up.
An Zheng hurriedly put the goatee jade like white bone back into the shield, and then, he stuffed the shield into Gu Qianye's hands.
Gu Qianye's face darkened, "Very well, I'll excuse myself."
An Zheng said: "Just take it and play with it."
Gu Qianye asked, "Do you want to eat?"
An Zheng: "Roasting will do."
Zhuang Feifei walked over and hugged Gu Qianye's shoulders. "Ignore him, Big Sister Zhuang will give you another small gift."
She took out something from her sleeve that looked like an exquisite wooden box. "This thing can't be determined to be of any grade, because it is not something from our side, nor from Da Xi's side, nor is it from the 3000 Buddhist countries in the Western Regions. It is from the Red Furry Nation in the north. It was said that the cultivators over there were not called cultivators, but rather mages. This thing's use is quite interesting. Although it cannot kill the enemy or defend, it can be used to escape. "
Gu Qianye opened the beautifully crafted wooden box and discovered a scroll inside. "Painting?"
"No, the scroll."
Zhuang Feifei said: "Just like how we use things to recognize our masters, just dripping blood will do. The only use of this thing is to set a location, like your house. When you encounter danger, you can activate this thing and instantly bring you back to your house. "
