Because of the matter of Chen Xi killing Su Feiyun last time, Jushang Yard and Heavenly Awakening Sect were inseparable. In terms of big concept, both the Jushang Yard and the Heavenly Awakening Sect would suffer losses due to both being prosperous. The relationship between An Zheng and Jin Shan Lu also changed subtly, especially after Inside the Heaven's Enlightenment Sect, who was bowing to the passed away Jin Shan Lu as Big Sister An Zheng.
That was the reason why An Zheng could unabashedly find a set of gold rank Artifact, which could also be said to be a fallen purple rank divine artifact.
The Red-hair Ghosts that An Zheng talked about was actually called Oshaman. The emperor of the O'Shaman Empire called himself the Ocean Emperor, claiming that his ancestors were the gods who controlled the seas. The Trident of Sea Emperor was the symbol of the Emperor of the O'Shaman Empire. However, after dozens of years ago, when a general of the O'Shaman Empire rebelled, the Emperor was killed and the royal clan was not destroyed, the damaged Trident of Sea Emperor disappeared without a trace.
Du Shoushou immediately brought the Trident of Sea Emperor over and flipped it over with a face full of joy.
An Zheng curled his lips: "I was just throwing it on the ground."
Du Shoushou said: "Why, I am such a vain man."
An Zheng said: "I just like how realistic you are."
Du Shoushou: "I also love you to death."
It was at this moment Kindness of the cat, who had been lying on the chair as if he was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes. The densely packed star point s in his eyes slowly began to revolve.
Even if An Zheng's relationship with him was any better, he would not dare let Zhuang Feifei know that Good Lord was merely in the cycle of reincarnation, or else because of Good Lord, Heavenly Awakening Sect would probably suffer a calamity. He believed that Zhuang Feifei would not do that, but the moment the news was leaked, the entire Yan Kingdom would go crazy. But Good Lord had not completely awakened, so there was a high chance that he would die at the hands of those greedy cultivator s.
He pretended to be unintentional and carried Good Lord up, then walked to the railing and looked down. Good Lord's small head came out from his embrace, looking down as if looking for something.
Of course, Zhuang Feifei would never have thought that the famous Nine Reincarnation Eye would be reborn from the body of a cat.
The people below in the hall were in chaos, following that, a group of Forbidden Army broke in from the outside, divided into two sides, and drove the people in the hall away.
Chief Eunuch from the Embroidery Palace, accompanied a person wearing purple clothes in with a humble look on his face.
Zhuang Feifei walked to An Zheng's side and scoffed at Li Changlu's slave-like face, "That's a real dog. Not only does it wag its tail at the empress dowager, it would wag its tail at any important person. And to anyone else who is inferior to him, he will grit his teeth. "
"Who is that person?"
An Zheng asked.
Zhuang Feifei looked at the man in purple and said, "There is a duke in Youguo named Tan Song, the younger brother of the King of Youguo, Tan Zijing. Because of Da Xi, no country dared to call themselves emperors. They could only call themselves kings. Therefore, even though Tan Song was Tan Ziyun's own younger brother, the highest noble position could only be a duke. "In any case, the fear of Da Xi forced countries to be cautious on the surface.
An Zheng said: "Didn't you say that Empress Dowager Su has always been tyrannical to the You Kingdom? Why is it that even her dog would bow down to the You Kingdom's Duke?"
Zhuang Feifei said: "This time, You Kingdom's diplomatic mission was obviously meticulously prepared. He knew that the most favored person by the empress dowager's side was Li Changlu, so he would of course give her a lot of benefits. If a person gets too many benefits, just like how a dog gets too many meat and bones, he would change from baring his teeth to wagging his tail. "
An Zheng acknowledged her as he lowered his head to look at the cat. Good Lord's eyes were always staring at the duke of purple robe, so he guessed that this person must be carrying something extraordinary on him.
Then, An Zheng found out that the enchantment cloth he had previously collected was also about to make a move.
An Zheng said in his heart that the Nine Reincarnation Eye and the enchantment cloth had worked together countless of times before, fighting shoulder to shoulder in those sinister and terrifying tombs. Therefore, there must be some sort of relationship between Good Lord and the enchantment cloth that was similar to telepathy. Good Lord stared fixedly at the duke. The enchantment cloth sensed the aura of the Nine Reincarnation Eye and was about to make a move.
An Zheng immediately used the blood nurturing bead bracelet to wrap that duke up properly. If the enchantment cloth rushed out and wrapped that duke up, then it would be really funny.
Zhuang Feifei said: "I will go down to take a look. After all, I have no other choice but to do things on face. You guys wait here, I'll arrange for some people to bring the food over. Today, you guys stay in Jushang Yard and don't go back. Maybe some good stuff will come out later, and I'm counting on you to keep up appearances. "
An Zheng said: "Go, be careful. That Tan Song seems a little strange."
Zhuang Feifei laughed: "He's only here to make peace, what can even a duke do? In Yan Kingdom, no matter how despotic he is, he has to endure it."
An Zheng shook his head, feeling that Tan Song looked very strange.
Li Changlu accompanied Tan Song directly through the hall on the first floor and into the backyard. Zhuang Feifei and Chief Manager Zhang Yifu followed behind. An Zheng opened the window and looked outside. The street had already been completely sealed, one floor was the Yan Kingdom's city guards, and one floor was the Forbidden Army. The Black Man that stood in a small circle should be Tan Song's personal bodyguard. This person should be very confident, walking into the Jushang Yard alone without bringing along any trusted aides.
What was even stranger was that this duke didn't even glance at the red-robed clergyman in the great hall.
"fat grandpa."
An Zheng turned to Du Shoushou and said: "Keep watch here, I'm going out to settle some matters."
Du Shoushou asked: "Where are you going?"
An Zheng looked at Xiao Qidao who had fallen asleep on the chair after he had eaten his fill, "Right now, all of your attention is on the You Kingdom's diplomatic mission and no one will notice me. I have to think of a way to get closer to the Celestial Prison. It would be best if I can take this chance to take a look at Lady Ye and let her feel at ease. "
Du Shoushou nodded, "Then you be careful."
An Zheng passed Good Lord over to Du Shoushou: "Hold tight, no matter what Good Lord looks at, you cannot let Good Lord pounce on you."
Du Shoushou: "Don't worry."
When An Zheng walked out of the main entrance of the Jushang Yard, the You Kingdom s guarding outside looked at him but did not question him. After a few moments of investigation, An Zheng left the main street. In order to prevent himself from being targeted, An Zheng returned to the Heavenly Awakening Sect first. After meditating and recuperating at Inside the Heaven's Enlightenment Sect for half an hour, he flipped over the back wall and approached Tianji Palace.
The so called Celestial Prison was actually not a mystery. According to the rules of the Yan Kingdom, the criminals held by the Celestial Prison had very special identities. The people from the Ministry of Justice were responsible for guarding the outside layer of the Celestial Prison, while the guards in the palace took turns to be on duty inside.
As An Zheng walked, he tried his best to recall the investigations conducted these past few days. In the end, he locked on to one person.
Tianji Palace's Imperial Physician Zhuge Chouyun.
The reason why he had chosen this person was because this person had come into contact with two secrets. These two secrets were closely related to An Zheng. As for the first secret, due to Ye Yun's special nature, every so often Mu Changyan would let Zhuge Chouyun enter the Celestial Prison to check her pulse. And one thing more... An Zheng had heard that this Zhuge Chouyun had always been with him when he first came to Grand Prince.
There was naturally no lack of healer around Chen Zhongqi, but of course, Yan Kingdom couldn't let his guard down either. Most importantly, this Zhuge Chouyun probably knew very well what happened after he was killed.
Because Zhuge Chouyun had examined his corpse.
Strangely enough, up until now, all the people who were involved in An Zheng's matter had died. Zhuge Chouyun was a special case. A few days ago, when An Zheng was drinking with Minister for Foreign Affairs Li Yannian, the main guest of the Ministry of Rites's Department for Purging Officials, Li Yannian told him a few things he remembered.
At that time, Li Yannian was in charge of receiving Chen Zhongqi, so he knew that Zhuge Chouyun had always been with his people. Only after a period of time after Chen Zhongqi disappeared did Zhuge Chouyun return to the Tianji Palace. Li Yannian guessed that Zhuge Chouyun was probably the only one who saw Chen Zhongqi leave with his own eyes.
Chen Zhongqi had not come to the Yan Kingdom to mediate the war between the sixteen kingdoms in the first place, but to kill An Zheng. So even if Chen Zhongqi left, he had to make sure that An Zheng was dead before he left. An Zheng understood Chen Zhongqi's personality. He was cautious, cautious, and suspicious. He definitely would not appear in front of An Zheng before he had confirmed his death, nor would he allow anyone that An Zheng knew to appear. Thus, Zhuge Chouyun had become the best choice.
Regardless of the relationship between Zhuge Chouyun and himself, the fact that this person was still alive proved his worth.
An Zheng had considered a few plans to get close to Zhuge Chouyun these past few days, but it was not guaranteed, because there was one thing that An Zheng had to be sure of ? Was the reason why Zhuge Chouyun was alive, due to his medical skills, or was it because of his cultivation level? If it was because Zhuge Chouyun was so powerful that no one dared to kill him... With An Zheng's current strength, searching for him would only be seeking death.
An Zheng reckoned that the Jushang Yard was not in a rush, so he decided to keep a close eye on Zhuge Chouyun, to scout first, and attack whenever there was a chance, and leave if there was no chance. On the Jushang Yard's side, Zhuang Feifei was planning to arrange for the duke to appraise the best items on the Jushang Yard's side.
Zhuge Chouyun normally stayed in the Tianji Palace and rarely went out. His home was also not far from Tianji Palace, just right between them. An Zheng thought that the reason Mu Changyan had bestowed such a mansion to Zhuge Chouyun was precisely for the sake of Lady Ye.
The Celestial Prison s were heavily guarded like a cloud of experts. An Zheng was very clear that with his current strength, there was no chance for him to get close. Therefore, he planned to first go to Zhuge Chouyun's house to have a look. If Zhuge Chouyun was not there, he could go in and check.
An Zheng first found a teahouse opposite Zhuge Chouyun's house, and went up three floors. He could overlook that small courtyard from here. Zhuge Chouyun's yard looked to be filled with a lot of herbs, the yard was neat and tidy. Even though he was sitting on the third floor of the teahouse, he could still smell the faint aroma of medicine.
Zhuge Chouyun had not lived in this place for more than four years, so he reckoned that those herbs were not expensive or anything. Any medicinal herb would require a long period of time to grow.
An Zheng sat in the third floor of the teahouse for an entire hour without anyone entering or leaving the courtyard. An Zheng thought that since there was most likely no one in the courtyard, he settled the bill and pretended to stroll to the back of the yard. The buildings in the Fanggu City all had their own rules and regulations, and behind every row of houses, there was a small alley. An Zheng strolled around in the alley for a while, and when he didn't find anyone, he went in from the back.
The yard was split into two, could only see the courtyard in front of him from the teahouse and not the backyard. Therefore, after entering, An Zheng was exceptionally careful, afraid that others would notice.
However, An Zheng realized that his worries were unnecessary, there was not a single person in the backyard. In addition to medicinal herbs, there were also medicinal herbs.
However, compared to the front yard, the herbs grown in this small back yard seemed somewhat strange. It was not a straight ridge, but a very strange pattern that was deliberately arranged.
An Zheng did not care about the herbs, and did not dare to delay any further, so he quickly walked towards the house.
After only five steps, An Zheng had already called out in his heart ? Bad.
These seemingly ordinary herbs, there was a problem!
The moment An Zheng fell, he finally understood that the reason why he grew these herbs was not to save others, but to catch thieves ? Strange fragrance, strange patterns, strange herbs. An Zheng's vision started to blur, no matter how he transferred the cultivation strength, it was all over.
The moment he fell, he saw a figure running towards him.
Then he closed his eyes and lost consciousness.
