Chapter 79 (1/2)
At daybreak the next day, the people sent by the Gathering
Shang Manor arrived.
This time, the messenger was Zhuang Fei Fei Fei's personal maid, the Red Luan.
She was a girl who looked
especially blus.h.i.+ng, a year or two older than Ann, very white skin, big eyes, the sort of girl who was especially pleasing to the
eye.
He was just a little shy when talking to strangers.
””This is for you. The eldest teacher asked me to deliver it.””
The Red
Luan stuffed a small package into An Zeng's hands, then lowered her head and looked at her toes as she spoke, ””Mister said that
there are some things you don't need to worry about, if you don't do it, it will affect you greatly. It will be troublesome, so
bear with it.””
Since you've already done it, the Gathering Shang Academy will never sit back and wait for your death. Furthermore
… this matter may not be as serious as what you were worried about.
””Mister wants me to tell you one thing … Gathering Merchant
House is more capable than you think.””
””Go back and tell the First Mister that I thank her.””
The Red Luan made an ””oh”” sound
and raised its head to look at An Zhe before quickly lowering its head, ””The eldest sir also said that the debt that is owed to
you by the Orthodox Academy is still owed because it is too big.””
An Zhan couldn't help but ask, ””What kind of favor is this?””
The Red Luan seemed to not have expected An Zhe to ask this, how could it help others to forget this.
But perhaps she felt that
the relations.h.i.+p between An Zhe and the big mister was not shallow, so she said a few more words: ””A few years ago, our host was
seriously injured when he fought against others. At that time, he tried everything he could think of, but he could only barely
keep the owner alive.””
””However, his injuries are still worsening. Because the person who injured my master is too powerful, if
he doesn't find a suitable medicinal herb to refine pills, my master won't be able to endure for long.””
””In these past few
years, the Gathering Shang Manor has been doing their best to maintain the owner's life, but they have been unable to find any
medicine. Until Mister returned from the Cang Man Mountain, he had gathered the last few medicines.
Even though the proprietor was
still unconscious, he was beginning to show signs of improvement.
The proprietor and the master were very fond of each other, and
they never left each other.
Now the proprietor was about to recover, and the master's days were almost over.
””These past few
years, the Star Condensation Inst.i.tution has relied on her to bitterly support them. A woman is simply too difficult.””
Seemingly
sensing that she had said more, the Red Luan hurriedly took its leave.
An Zaiyue couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Zhuang
Feifei might seem like a hot and seductive person, but deep in his heart, he was extremely loyal.
Her love for the owner was the
most genuine and genuine.
An Zeng opened the bag and took a look. Inside, there were two names on the list of people.
The first one
was those geniuses that deserved attention during this year's Autumn Ceremony. An Zhe discovered that the first to be ranked was
Su Feihun of the Grand Cauldron Academy, the second was Feng Xiuzhu of the Supreme Court, and the third was Nie Qing of the War
Department's Martial Arts Academy.
There were still many names, at least a hundred and ten people.
It seemed like Zhuang Feifei
didn't have much confidence in An Zhe's cultivation, hence his long list of people.
Last time, when Chen Shaobai came, he reminded
An Zongming that he only needed to pay attention to three people.
However, on this list, An Zhe did not find Chen Shaobai's name.
As he walked, he flipped through the second list.
The first photo was of Hao Ping, a.s.sistant minister of the Ministry of War, and
the second was of Chen Zaiyan. There were also many officers of the Ministry of War.
However, the strange thing about the dispute
was that there were no close friends of Grand General Iron Liuhuo on this list.
On the other hand, Fang Dao, who An Zaiyi had met
before, was straightforward. This person was Tie Liuyan's deputy general, and was also a fourth rank general, Ying Yang.
Anjou
flipped back and found a list of names for the Ministry of Rites. One of the names entered Anjou's line of sight.
He was not an
extraordinary person. He was the Minister of Rites, Li Yinian of the Department for Purging Officials.
The Ministry of Rites was
divided into four divisions, of which the host and guest, the Department for Purging Officials, was in charge of receiving and
receiving foreign guests.
The head guest of the Department for Purging Officials was a fifth-grade official. Although it was not a
high position, it held actual authority, and it was also a very solid and oily official position.
All the arrears needed to
receive the foreign guests must be allotted to him.
This person had been an official of a Yan Kingdom for more than ten years.
Thus, when Emperor Huai, Emperor Chen Zhong, came to Yan Kingdom, all of the hospitality had been arranged by Li Yenian.
He put
the list back in his room and sat down to think about it.
The important ministers of the Yan Kingdom would surely know of what had
happened back then.
The heavy words of this important official symbolized that it was not easy to find out the truth of the
dispute.
Relatively speaking, contact with Li Yenian was the best choice.
An Zeng packed up the necessary things and told Skinny Du
and the others to continue cultivating. Then, he left the sect alone.
Through the stream of people, through the streets and
alleys, An Xuan appeared outside a restaurant.
Diagonally across the street was the residence of the host, Li Yinian of the
Department for Purging Officials. The residence of an official of the fifth rank was not very large.
The officials were as
numerous as a cow's hair. No matter how rich he was, he wouldn't dare to be impudent.
This courtyard seemed to be similar in size
to the courtyards of wealthy families. Although the front and back courtyards occupied a small amount of land, it was still
rather small.
An Zaiyue entered the restaurant and found a window seat on the third floor. He ordered a pot of wine and a few
dishes before leaning against the window and looking out.
It was the morning a.s.sembly, and today was the a.s.sembly, so even the
officials of the fifth rank and above had to attend.
Ordinary officials of the fifth-grade did not have the right to partic.i.p.ate.
They would report to the yamen where they worked early in the morning.
An Zaiyue wasn't just waiting for Li Yannian; he also
wanted to take a good look at the Li family's environment.
Not far from An Zeng, there were two men sitting at a table near the
window drinking wine. Yan Zhaoge was very forthright, so he never took any time to drink.
Elsewhere, restaurants did not open in
