The fear and despair in Li Yannian's eyes was extremely strong. Therefore, when An Zheng saw the look in Li Yannian's eyes, he had already guessed who the killers were.

"When the first king goes there, the nation will be ruined."

Li Yannian suddenly leaned on the table and wailed, his body trembling from the crying. An Zheng did not say anything, he walked over to the side and poured a cup of wine. He didn't know why, but after the wine entered his throat, it seemed so spicy.

Li Yannian cried for more than ten minutes. When he raised his head, it was as if he had suddenly aged thirty years.

"Your career has come to an end."

An Zheng put down his cup: "Since you don't want to say, then I won't ask. I'll find a place to settle you down and send you to the Great Xi River to reunite with your wife and children. In the future, you will live a good life with your family, and the glory of the temple will no longer have anything to do with you. The clear beauty of the land is where you belong. "

Li Yannian looked at An Zheng, and then kneeled on the ground. "Thank you!"

An Zheng also did not help him up, and only received Li Yannian's bow. After that, he laughed: "This might be a good thing for you, because you can live the rest of your life peacefully. No matter how powerful your rival is, they still wouldn't dare to act so impudently in Da Xi. The reason I accepted your bow is because I can afford it. "Therefore, since you've thanked him and said your farewells, you don't need to bring up this matter anymore."

Li Yannian stood up and said: "You are a true hero, I have offended you before, I apologize."

An Zheng said: "Go to sleep, those who want to kill you tonight will search for you crazily in the city, but they won't be able to find me, the Heavenly Awakening Sect. Tomorrow, at daybreak, your family's affairs will cause a huge ruckus. Fanggu, Ministry of Justice, and the justice courts would all intervene. At that time, those people who want to touch you will have to restrain themselves, but tomorrow, their people will be watching all the city gates of Fanggu City, and once you appear, you will still die. "

Li Yannian let out a long sigh: "I've served my country for twenty years, and I thought that I could become an elder in the fields. But now, it seems that this imperial court no longer allows people like me."

An Zheng walked over and placed the jug of wine next to Li Yannian, then turned around and prepared to leave.

Li Yannian looked at An Zheng's back figure in silence for a while, and then, he called out to An Zheng: "Please talk to me. There are some things that I need someone who I can trust to help me remember it."

An Zheng turned his head as he stood at the door: "Are you sure you want to tell me?"

Li Yannian said: "Although you and I have only just met, I know that you are someone you can trust. If I leave this place tomorrow, I don't know if I'll be able to endure until I leave the city. Even if I leave the city, I don't know if I'll be able to live with my wife and children. So, if I die, I want you to help me tell my child who my enemy is. "

An Zheng sat down: "Let me guess, is this why you didn't want your son to cultivate?"

Li Yannian said: "I already knew that I would definitely be killed. These past few years of stability, I have actually relaxed my guard. It's been a few years, and I thought they wouldn't cause any more trouble... But I know that if I get killed, my son will definitely avenge me. The other party is simply too powerful. If he were to avenge me, he might just die as well. If I don't let him cultivate, if he doesn't have the ability, he wouldn't avenge me right ? But now, it seems that I was wrong. "

He looked at An Zheng and said: "Just now at my house, if you weren't there, I wouldn't even have had the chance to retaliate before being killed. If they were to find out the whereabouts of my family, they would probably go after them too. They don't understand cultivation and have no more ability to resist like me. So I guess I was wrong. "Since Vishnu can cultivate, then let him cultivate. At the very least, when he faces danger in the future, he will have the ability to protect his mother, his elder brother, and himself."

"As for revenge ?" Forget it. Even if I die, I won't be able to avenge myself. The other party's influence is too great. "

An Zheng asked, "Who is it?"

Li Yannian was silent for a moment: "It's metapopsia Su Family."

An Zheng asked, "You are merely a teacher in the Department for Purging Officials of the Ministry of Rites and what conflict do you have with the metapopsia?"

Li Yannian was silent for a long time this time, then said with a heavy tone, "That was a few years ago, it had something to do with Da Xi ? I'm telling you all this because I want you to help me. In the future, if anything happens to me, I can let my wife and children know who they are on guard against in the future. The people of metapopsia have never held back in their actions. Even if they knew that my wife and children went to Da Xi, they would not let them go.

An Zheng's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly felt that this matter had something to do with him. This was because in all these years, only such a great figure like Da Xi had ever been to the Yan Kingdom.

Li Yannian poured a cup of wine and then finished it in one gulp.

"That was more than four years ago. At that time, the Coalition forces and the Coalition forces's Coalition forces had charged into the Forever, defeated the You Kingdom's Coalition forces, and almost exterminated the Forever. Later on, in order to mediate the wars between different countries, Da Xi sent a very influential person ? The son of the Saint Emperor of Great Xi, King Huai, Chen Zhongqi. I had originally thought that Chen Zhongqi's arrival was really just to mediate the war, but when Chen Zhongqi arrived, I felt that something was wrong. "

"Why?"

An Zheng asked.

Li Yannian said: "After Chen Zhongqi arrived in the Yan Kingdom, he had never left, and had not summoned any messengers from the Forever and Forever. He spent his days sightseeing, how could he be here to mediate the war? Furthermore, to Da Xi, the sixteen northern kingdoms were just sixteen ants. There was no need to send a prince out. So at the time, I felt that something was wrong. Later on, he thought that perhaps this prince had only come to the north to play and settle the matters of the sixteen kingdoms. Furthermore, with his identity, there is no need for him to personally meet the envoys of the various countries, and there is even no need for him to meet the kings of the various countries. "

"He only needs to send someone with his message. Which country in the sixteen kingdoms dares not to listen to Da Xi's mediation?"

Li Yannian drank another cup of wine and looked at An Zheng. "Until one day, when I was in charge of leading Chen Zhongqi on a tour around Yanshan, Chen Zhongqi suddenly disappeared."

An Zheng's gaze trembled, he knew that Chen Zhongqi's disappearance was related to his arrival.

Li Yannian said: "At that time, we were all panicking. The entire Ministry of Rites was in a mess and we sent people everywhere to look for him. However, after searching for five days, there was no news at all. On the sixth day, he suddenly received a letter saying that Chen Zhongqi had left the Yan Kingdom and returned to the Great Xi. "

He poured the third cup of wine and downed it in one gulp, "What's wrong is that such a powerful figure had gone missing. King of Yan was not worried at all. On the other side, Ministry of Rites was already anxious and crazy. Even though he had met with King of Yan a few times, he always looked like he was worried but was perfunctory about the matter. Logically, when Chen Zhongqi and his followers all go missing, King of Yan would definitely dispatch all of his experts to search for them. But King of Yan's order was ? Ministry of War, Ministry of Justice, the justice courts and all the experts of Tianji Palace are not allowed to act rashly.

Li Yannian looked at An Zheng: "Are you saying that it's strange?"

An Zheng nodded: "It's indeed strange."

However, An Zheng knew in his heart that the moment King of Yan ordered for all the experts to not leave the Fanggu City was when those experts from the Da Xi Empire were ambushing him.

Li Yannian continued to speak: "Things were originally like this, when Chen Zhongqi came over with his letter, saying that they had already returned to the Da Xi Empire, we can end it here. Although it's strange, nothing happened. And I, am not involved at all. "

As he drank, his complexion changed from pale white to a little red, "But one day, a wounded came to the inn and said that he was from Da Xi. When he met the demonic beast in the Mount Cangman, he was only able to escape after fighting, but he was already unconscious when he reached the Fanggu City. At that time, the people at the relay station quickly delivered the news to the Ministry of Rites, and I led the people there to rush to the relay station. "

"That person gave me a letter, telling me to personally hand it to Her Majesty. He passed out after handing me the letter. Although he was treated in an emergency, he still died in the end. "

An Zheng clenched his fists inside his sleeves. He knew that the truth would surface soon.

Li Yannian said, "At that time, I was also a little curious. Why did the emissaries from the Da Xi Empire send such an important letter not to the King of Yan, but to the Queen at the time?"

An Zheng asked: So you stole a glance at that letter?

Li Yannian nodded: "This is the beginning of the disaster... I was so curious at the time that I always felt that there was a big secret behind this. Although the envelope was sealed with wax, it was nothing to me. I have been in touch with letters all year round, and it is not difficult to restore the lacquer to its original state. So I found a secret place and opened the letter to read it. "

A look of fear flashed across his eyes: "I really didn't expect that... That secret is so big, so big that I can't bear it. The letter was written by King Da Xi Hui, Chen Zhongqi. He told the empress dowager to get rid of those who knew about it, including ? King of Yan! "

An Zheng's heart immediately lit up... Yes, not long after my accident, King of Yan sent someone to bring Mu Changyan back to Great Yan.

The more Li Yannian spoke, the more agitated he became. He stood up and trembled as he said, "That bitch, she actually wanted to harm the King! She colluded with the Da Xi family from the inside to destroy my Yan Kingdom ? As the mandarin seed of the Great Yan, I cannot sit idly by and do nothing about this matter. But I know that I won't be able to see the King of Yan. Because at that time, the palace had already announced that the King of Yan was severely ill, and the court matters were handed over to the Empress and the old Prime Minister Zhuge Yan to take care of. My position is low, I am simply unable to enter the Tianji Palace. "

"At that time, Zhuge Yan's authority was almost gone, but he was still respected and respected. Furthermore, in the entire imperial court, only he could come to the King of Yan at any time. So, I told Zhuge Yan about this matter. "

An Zheng's face changed, "So... A few days ago, Zhuge Yan died. "

Li Yannian nodded, his eyes filled with pain: "I was the one who killed the old prime minister, I ? When I told the old Prime Minister about this, he went to court the next day. However, King of Yan was surrounded by the empress dowager's men at that time, so it must have been difficult for him to tell King of Yan about this news. Zhuge Yan told me to reseal the letter and send it to Empress Su at the time, because I was unable to hide the matter of the relay station. "

"At that time, I had no choice but to seal the book and personally send it to Embroidery Palace. "Because the letter appeared to be intact, there was nothing unusual about it at the time."

When Li Yannian said till this point, he suddenly dropped onto the chair as if he had lost all of his strength. "But who knew that King of Yan still failed to protect him ? The day after Zhuge Yan entered the palace, the King of Yan passed away. "

Li Yannian's face was filled with grief and indignation, and that rage nearly ignited the sky.

"That slut killed the King just like that."

By the time An Zheng heard this, he had already understood the whole situation. Chen Zhongqi wanted to kill him, but she didn't dare to do it inside the Da Xi Empire. That was why she asked the Saint Emperor of Great Xi on purpose to send him to Yan Kingdom. When he reached Yan Kingdom, he immediately sent someone to inform her that he was in danger. At that time, the Saint Emperor was preparing for something big, and it was impossible for the clone to personally go there, so he immediately informed An Zheng.

Because Saint Emperor knew that amongst the courtier, An Zheng and Chen Zhongqi had the best relationship in private.

All of this is intertwined... Now, the Yan Kingdom wanted to eliminate all of these rings in the Yan Kingdom. King of Yan was the biggest link, and Zhuge Yan was the second, while Li Yannian was the smallest link.
