Chapter 84 (1/2)

The fear in Li Yannian's eyes was extremely strong, as well as despair and indignation.

Thus, when An Zhe saw the look in Li Yannan's eyes, he had already guessed that Li Yinian knew who those a.s.sa.s.sins were.

””After the late king goes, the country will fall.””

Li Yenian suddenly laid down on the table and cried until his body trembled violently.

An Zeng didn't say anything. He walked to the side and poured himself a cup of wine. He leaned against the window and looked at the night sky while quietly tasting it.

He didn't know why, but today the wine seemed so spicy after entering his throat.

Li Yinian cried for more than ten minutes. When he raised his head, he looked as if he suddenly aged thirty years. He looked extremely haggard.

””Your career is over.””

””Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask.””

I'll find a place for you to settle down, and then I'll send you to the south of the Da Xi River to reunite with your wife and son.

From now on, you will spend your life with a family of old and young, and the temple is so high that it no longer has anything to do with you.

””You belong to the clear heart of the countryside.””

Li Yenian looked towards An Zeng, then kneeled on the ground and said, ””Thank you!””

An Zhan didn't help him up and instead accepted Li Yenian's bow. Then he smiled and said, ””Isn't this a good thing for you? You can safely pa.s.s the rest of your life in peace.””

No matter how powerful your opponents are, you won't dare to be impudent with the Da Xi.

I accept your bow because I can afford it.

””Therefore, since you've thanked me and acknowledged me, you don't need to mention this matter in the future.””

Li Yinian stood up and said, ””You're a true hero. I've offended you earlier. I'm sorry.””

An Xuan said, ””Sleep then. The people who want to kill you tonight will frantically search for you in the city, but they won't be able to find me in a short period of time.””

Tomorrow, as soon as the sun rises, there will be a storm in your family's affairs.

The Fang family, the Ministry of Justice and the justice courts would all intervene.

””At that time, those who want to touch you will be more restrained, but tomorrow, all the city gates will be guarded by their people. Once you show your face, you will still die.””

Li Yinian let out a long sigh. ””I served the country for twenty years and thought that I could return back to the countryside. But now, it seems that this imperial court could no longer tolerate people like me.””

An Zeng walked over and placed the wine jug beside Li Yinian, then turned around to leave.

Li Yenian looked at An Zeng's retreating back in silence for a while, before stopping An Zeng, ””Speak with me. There are some things I need someone I can trust to help me remember.””

””Are you sure you want to tell me?””

Li Yinian said, ””Although we've only just met, I know that you can entrust it to someone.””

I don't know if I'll be able to survive until I leave the city tomorrow. Even if I do, I don't know if I'll be able to reunite with my wife and children alive.

””So if I die, I want you to help me tell my child who my enemy is.””

””I guess that's why you didn't want your son to cultivate?””

Li Yinian said, ””I knew long ago that I would definitely be killed by someone. After these few years of being safe and sound, I finally relaxed my guard.””

It's been a few years, and I thought they wouldn't cause any more trouble … But I know, if I'm killed, my son will avenge me.

The other party is too powerful, if he avenged me, he might also die.

””I won't let him cultivate. If he doesn't have the ability, he won't take revenge for me … But from the looks of it, I was wrong.””

He looked at An Zhe and said, ””Just now, in my house, if you weren't here, I wouldn't even have a chance to fight back before I was killed.””

If they find out where my family is, I'm afraid they will chase them. They don't know how to cultivate, and like me, they have no ability to resist.

So I think I was wrong.

””Since Vishnu can cultivate, then let him cultivate. At least in the future when faced with danger, he will have the ability to protect his mother, his brother, and himself.””

””As for revenge … Forget it. Even if I die, I won't be able to avenge this grudge. The other party's influence is too great.””

””Who is it?””

Li Yinian was silent for a moment. ””It is the Su Family.””

An Zhan asked, ””You're just a Minister of Rites and a guest of the Department for Purging Officials. What conflict do you have with the later generations?””

Li Yinian was silent for a long time, then said with a heavy tone, ””That was a few years ago, and it has something to do with Da Xi … I'm telling you this because I want you to help me. If anything happens to me in the future, it will also let my wife and son know who I'm wary of in the future.””

The people from the later generations have always done things without any leeway. Even if they knew that my wife and son went to the Da Xi, they wouldn't let them go, because this also involves a great character of the Da Xi. ””

An Zaihai's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly felt that this matter was related to him. The great character of the Da Xi that Li Yenian spoke of must be Emperor Huai of the Da Xizhi Kingdom.

After all these years, only such a powerful person had been to the Yan Country.

Li Yinian poured a cup of wine and gulped it all down in one gulp.

””That was more than four years ago, when the allied forces of Yan and Zhao fought their way into Yongguo. They defeated Yongguo and almost destroyed Yongguo.””

Later on, in order to mediate the war, the Da Xi sent a man with a lot of weight to... the son of the Holy Emperor of the Da Xi, King Hui, Chen Zhong.

””I originally thought that the arrival of the heavy weapons was just to mediate the war, but when the heavy weapons arrived, I felt that something wasn't right.””

””Why?””

Anjou asked.

Li Yannian said, ””After Chen Chong arrived at the Yan Kingdom, he never left the Yan Kingdom, nor did he summon the Eternal Kingdom and You Country's envoys to travel around the world all day long. Where did he come from to mediate the war?””

Furthermore, the sixteen kingdoms in the north were no more than sixteen ants to the Da Xi. There was no need to send a prince himself.

So I thought then that something was wrong.
