Chapter 7 (1/2)
An Zheng carefully remembered that the Chen family was a big family in the South Mountain Town. All the stores on the streets were his real estate. All trading activities were protected by him. Moreover, it was said that Chen's family men had relations.h.i.+ps with the boss of the Illusory Perennial Domicile, and even the Great Nine Bandits respected the Chen family.
Du ShouShou kept An Zheng tightly and begged him not to go, An Zheng suddenly understood. That such a small clan like Zhang Lei’s men could have gone around this South Mountain Town, and even the Great Bandits Hall did not kill them. There must have been a great influence behind them. Now it seemed that the Tyrants had been just a flock of dangerous dogs raised by the Chen family.
The person who had come to invite An Zheng was only around fourteen years old. He looked simple with a nice smile. However, the An Zheng now was not the An Zheng of the past. He just stared at that person to see the murkiness behind that smile.
– “My name is Chen Pu!”
The middle-aged person politely introduced himself, and then he talked to An Zheng:
– “Our Master has known that it was you who had just taught Zhang Lei’s men a lesson. Our Master had said that a hundred Zhang Leis could not have been as strong as you, and although a hundred of the Tyrants could not considerably be compared to you. The Tyrants were only established so that Zhang Lei’s men could play with our little dandy. Trading in such a place like the Illusory Perennial Domicile, one must not ignore studying from cruelty. Our Master established the Tyrants in the hopes that our little dandy could study, and it was not really of importance. Our Master said that An ye had just came and played with our dandy, the results must have been more efficient than the Tyrants.”
He pointed backwards:
– “There are five thousand liang's inside, our Master knows that An ye is quite difficult in your daily life. It was because our Master did not find out who you were sooner. If he had found out who you were sooner, he would surely not have let you live in such difficulties.
An Zheng turned his look to Du ShouShou:
– “Check the money!”
Du ShouShou nodded but could not stop reminding An Zheng:
– “An Zheng, for thousands of times, please do not go.”
Chen Pu smiled:
– “It is not necessary that An ye follow us right now. Our Master has said that he could wait. An ye also knows that our little dandy is the only inheritor of our Master, so our Master can do everything for the little dandy. You and the little dandy are of the same age, so it is easy for you to make friends with our little dandy. You only need to think twice, and then you can go to Chen house at any time.
An Zheng said yes shortly:
– “I will surely come to greet your Master sometime.”
Chen Po clasped his hands, turned back and intended to go when An Zheng asked him again:
– “Three thousand liang's are mine, the remainings are not related to me. If you don’t mind bringing it back! Thanks for your help, Chen ye.
Chen Pu’s face changed a little:
– “This is from our Master…”
An Zheng knitted his brows:
– “Who told you that the sincerity must be accepted? Sincerity is your business, accepting or not is mine.”
An Zheng extremely hated this kind of speech. He used to meet those kinds of people in the Tribunal. Because of hating them like that, An Zheng had many enemies. There were many people who had wanted to dump him because his existence had damaged their benefits. It was because of those people that had beaten him stealthily, that his body was seriously injured.
However, those problems were far behind An Zheng. No healing, no revenging. The haste now is to heal quickly. The people who had wanted to dump him would surely not stop once, if they were not sure that An Zheng had died.
What An Zheng had just replied to Chen Pu was from his unconsciousness. It was his characteristics. However, when Chen Pu had heard that, his eyes revealed cruelty. Everyone in the South Mountain Town must have respected the Chen family. However, that youth rejected his sincerity. It was his first time in seeing such a situation like that. However, when thinking about his Master, Chen Pu temporarily controlled himself.
– “An Zheng did not want to receive, so I will bring it home.”
Chen Pu turned back and waved his hand at the men carrying the chest with the two thousand liang's to leave.
For a little while, Du ShouShou was full of sweat:
– “An Zheng, I think that you should leave here. You have made a mistake towards the Chen family, it will be hard for you to live in this South Mountain Town. Even the men of the Great Nine Bandits will not be able to protect you. Now you have a lot of money, you had better leave the Illusory Perennial Domicile and live in another place.”
An Zheng shook his head and smiled:
– “You believe that this amount of money is easy to take?”
Having said that, he again thought of what he had done before.
Du ShouShou did not pay attention to the changes on An Zheng’s face. He said anxiously:
– “So what should we do now? We cannot make mistakes towards the Chen family. At first if we knew the Tyrants had belonged to the Chen family, we would have avoided them. What should we do now? Men of the Chen family will surely not cool it down. Moreover, you also rejected that Chen Pu, and you did not respect him at all.”
– “Respect?”
An Zheng blinked:
– “Haven't you heard about the Tribunal? Respecting the scoundrels is not much more different than being on the same boat with them.”
Du ShouShou was terribly surprised, and he did not understand why An Zheng had mentioned this, but he still nodded:
– “Who doesn’t know about the Tribunals of f.u.xi Dynasty?!”(1). The Blue Boorish Mountain where we are living is located just in a small corner of the Sixteen Kingdoms of You Yan. The Illusory Perennial Domicile compared with any of the Sixteen Kingdoms of You Yan will be as an ant compared to an elephant. However, the Sixteen Kingdoms of You Yan compared with the f.u.xi Dynasty will be as small as a grain of sand in the desert.”
Having finished his words, Du ShouShou’s eyes got s.h.i.+nny:
