An Zheng and Du Shoushou left Heavenly Awakening Sect with arms around each other's shoulders. The moment they left the door, they jogged at a fast pace, afraid that Gu Qianye would chase up to them again.
Four Eastern Avenue was actually not far from the Heavenly Awakening Sect, and not far from the Celestial Prison s. Liu Yuan and Du Zhou who had travelled so far to settle down, were afraid of the Lady Ye taking revenge on them. In the end, they never would have thought that the Lady Ye was currently living less than fifteen hundred meters away from them.
An Zheng and Du Shoushou first entered a casino. Any casino in the Fanggu City was owned by the Gao Family. Other than those exceptionally dark underground casinos, Yan People actually rarely had any disputes over gambling. It's a good bet, but most people do.
The two of them changed their clothes in the washroom. One of them dressed up as an old man with white hair while the other disguised as a young merchant. They then jumped out of the back window, dodging the guards of the casino.
"An Zheng, why do I feel like this identity is problematic?"
"What's wrong?"
I am a strong man, and I am actually a lackey? "I still feel like a bodyguard. The guards are more suited to me. Even a laborer would be more pleasing to the eye than I am now.
"Then give me the burden."
An Zheng took the burden that he was about to carry behind him: "Let me pretend to be an old fogey. If you come to buy something and not pay, then bully me. They started to argue outside Little Xuan's house to see if Liu Yuan and Du Zhou could come out. The two of them could be considered frightened birds of a feather. Even if they were to be in the slightest bit of trouble, they would still be afraid. If they leave that woman's house, it would be best for them to follow and find a place to make their move. "
Du Shoushou asked: "Did you kill him?"
An Zheng shook her head: "Can you not act so impulsively and violently? Can killing people solve the problem?"
"Then what should we do?"
"Let's just kill him."
The two of them discussed for a while. Along the way, they talked about a lot of ways to torture people, but in reality, it was impossible for them to do so. He would first look for Liu Yuan and Du Zhou, then look for trouble with the female doctor, Pang Chunmei.
However, just as they reached the vicinity of Little Xuan's house on East Fourth Street, they saw a few people coming out from the courtyard with suspicious looks on their faces, and then they sped up their pace and left.
An Zheng tugged on Du Shoushou: "Something's happening, help me look after it, I'll enter from the back."
Du Shoushou nodded and the two went around to the back of the courtyard and handed the things over to Du Shoushou. Then, they flipped over the courtyard wall. The courtyard was very quiet, and it wasn't very big either. Some of the more cramped back courtyard was filled with weeds, and it could be seen that this young lady Xuan was also not a diligent person. The house was shabby. Only one room looked clean, and the window beside it was crooked.
An Zheng opened the back window and there was the smell of blood coming out of the house.
An Zheng frowned, he jumped in to take a look, and discovered three dead people lying in the house. Liu Yuan, Du Zhou, and even Lady Little Xuan were dead. All three of them had one fatal wound, so they couldn't have been robbed or anything. The killer had come to kill them.
An Zheng thought of those few people who had left the courtyard, turned around and left the courtyard. Then, he pulled Du Shoushou around to the other small alley and followed that group of people.
After leaving East Fourth Street, the group of people seemed to have relaxed a lot as they slowed down their pace. They seemed to be shopping aimlessly, but they were always working together to move forward. They constantly changed positions and observed their surroundings. Clearly, they were well-trained. An Zheng frowned, who was this person, could it be someone from the empress dowager's side?
Following those few people across the street, An Zheng and Du Shoushou didn't dare to get too close. With An Zheng's astounding abilities in detection and counterdetection, it wouldn't be difficult for those people to not notice anything. Finally, the few of them turned a corner and stopped outside a yard.
An Zheng and Du Shoushou climbed onto a house that was tens of metres away from the group of people. When they climbed onto the roof, they peeked out slightly.
"This is ?" The home of the female doctor, Pang Chunmei?! "
An Zheng suddenly realized that this was the place that he and Du Shoushou had planned to come to after they taught Liu Yuan and Du Zhou a lesson. It was only because his attention was focused on those people that he finally reacted.
The few of them looked at each other, then left two people to guard outside, one in front and one behind. The remaining three men flipped over the wall and disappeared.
Du Shoushou said: "Could it be that they are on the same side as us?"
An Zheng: "Roughly... It was someone from the King Yan Mu Changyan. I thought that Her Majesty's men had come to silence her, but after some thought, there was no need for Her Majesty to do so. Of course the Lady Ye knew that the ones who tortured her were sent by the empress dowager, and the empress dowager couldn't be bothered to hide anything. So it's not the empress dowager killing them to silence them, but King of Yan killing them to avenge the Lady Ye. "
Du Shoushou did not plan to look anymore. Lying on the roof, he said: "What did you do long ago, your own woman has suffered in the Celestial Prison for 4 years. Now that she has come out, she wants to avenge the Lady Ye.
An Zheng stared at them and calculated the time when they would enter. About three minutes later, three people carried a unconscious woman out of the yard. An Zheng could see clearly that the woman was the female doctor, Pang Chunmei.
The two guards took out a gunny sack and placed Pang Chunmei inside, and a few of them carried their bags and quickly left.
"Why didn't they kill him this time?"
Du Shoushou crawled up and looked, then prepared to descend from the roof.
An Zheng immediately pulled him back, and then he saw a girl in a white dress walking over from the street, holding a small basket in her hands.
"Isn't that Ding Ningdong?"
Du Shoushou asked: What is she doing here?
An Zheng shook his head.
Ding Ningdong walked to's doorstep, obviously hesitated for a bit, then began to knock on the door. After knocking for a while, no one replied. She called out to her senior sister, but no one paid her any attention. She had no choice but to turn around and leave.
"Senior Sister?"
An Zheng frowned: "So Pang Chunmei is Zhuge Chouyun's disciple ?. That was strange, as a disciple, why would Pang Chunmei oppose Zhuge Chouyun? Pang Chunyan tortured Lady Ye, and even if had the empress dowager's request, he could definitely fake it, and even avoid it. "
Du Shoushou said: "This girl called Small Ding-dong is also very mysterious. Her father is the Minister of Rites, and her brother is the Ding Shengxia who wholeheartedly wants to kill you. She's actually this Pang Chunmei's junior sister, this relationship is really messy. "
An Zheng said: "Follow them."
Du Shoushou: "It wouldn't be too good to follow a little girl around in broad daylight."
"I'm talking about following those people!"
An Zheng knocked on Du Shoushou's head, then jumped down first. The two of them had always maintained a safe distance, ensuring that no one would be able to see them.
It was obvious that those people had changed their minds on the spur of the moment. Otherwise, why would they be walking down the street with a bag in their hands? It was probably because they knew that Ding Ningdong would suddenly appear that they chose to take him away. An Zheng kept thinking that if these people were vicious enough, then they should have killed Ding Ningdong together.
He suddenly thought of another possibility?
Did these people choose to bring Pang Chunmei along because they were afraid of him?
What was there to be afraid of about that petite and cute little girl?
Before long, a horse carriage stopped at the intersection, and those people got on. Clearly, they already had a second plan and were extremely careful when doing things. The horse carriage continued on down the street, heading out of the city. An Zheng and Du Shoushou looked at each other, and the two followed.
After exiting the city, the carriage had walked for at least four to five Li, which made it difficult for An Zheng and Du Shoushou to continue following. There were not many people on the road, so following them like this was too obvious.
Just as the two of them were about to turn around, a dozen students walked over while chatting and laughing behind them. An Zheng and Du Shoushou stepped aside to get out of the way, then the group of people suddenly made their move. An Zheng swept backwards, then kicked the two young men in front of him over. Du Shoushou then grabbed the two of them with one hand and fiercely threw them to the ground.
Two of them took action to eliminate four, while the rest did not dare to act rashly.
An Zheng saw that all of those people had tablets hanging at their waists.
"We're on our own."
An Zheng took out the Vermillion Bird sign and lit it up, causing everyone's expression to become relaxed: "What are you guys doing? Under whose orders? "
An Zheng said: "It's the same order, just watch to see if it's successful."
Those people believed without a doubt: "You people from the Vermillion Bird Camp are really lucky, always taking on some light missions, our Black Tortoise and White Tiger Battalion all do hard work."
An Zheng laughed: "When we were doing the hard work, you guys didn't know either."
The one who was knocked down stood up with a dejected look on his face, "We knew they were on the same side, yet they still attacked so heavily."
Du Shoushou said: "If my attacks were heavy, all of you would have died a long time ago."
Someone said, "Since all of you have come for a mission, you should go and take a look. Since we've already met, there's no point in continuing to split up. "
An Zheng nodded, and walked forward with those people. After a few more miles, they entered a forest. The carriage stopped outside the forest, and two people were standing guard. Seeing An Zheng and the others coming over, the two of them were clearly a little nervous. After confirming that it was one of his own, he let An Zheng and the others go.
In the forest, a young man who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old held a blade in his hand, and looked at Pang Chunmei who was kneeling in front of him: "Do you know what crime you have committed?"
Pang Chunmei coldly snorted, "You dog, I know you are people of the King of Yan, but you want to go against the empress dowager as if you are children playing house. Even if you kill me, sooner or later, you will not have a good ending. "
That young man said loudly: "We are all ambitious youths of the Great Yan, fighting for its revival. The King of Yan united us just so we could eliminate the worms in your countries. If he wanted to get rid of external problems, he had to get rid of his internal problems first. The empress dowager is the biggest worm in Great Yan, sooner or later I will cut her hand off. Now, I will represent the citizens of the Great Yan to get rid of you, scum! "
He looked at Pang Chunmei and said, "Don't look down on us youngsters. In the future, we will be the ones to shoulder the future of Great Yan."
"Kill!"
His blade slashed down, chopping Pang Chunmei's head off. Blood spurted from the broken neck, staining the young man's clothes red. But he didn't care at all. He was as proud as if he had done something earth-shattering. The most terrifying thing was, his face always had a sense of justice.
An Zheng was a little scared, he felt that these young people seemed to have been brainwashed. They thought that what they had done was right and that everything they had done was for the future of the Great Yan and for the citizens of the Great Yan.
After the young man killed the man, the others gathered around him, placed their hands on their chests and muttered to themselves, "With our flesh and blood, we can exchange for the bright future of the Great Yan. Everything you do is loyal to the King of Yan, loyal to the citizens of the Great Yan. "
The young men standing beside An Zheng and the others also held their hands in front of their chest as they spoke. An Zheng and Du Shoushou looked at each other, and saw something in each other's eyes that made them shudder.
It was true that Pang Chunmei deserved to die when he killed, but did these young people really mean that he was being righteous?
They did not doubt him, they believed him.
This was a terrifying thing. They did not know how strong their opponents were, and did not know what they would face. They think this is an ideal that no one can stop.
An Zheng felt a chill all over his body, and Mu Changyan's face appeared in his mind.
