Chapter 144 (1/2)
It was not the young men of eighteen or younger who killed, it was the rituals of those men who killed.
Wasn't this more like a spiritual thing?
An Zaiyue couldn't help but think of Quiet Nation, Zhuang Feifei had once told him about the matters of Quiet Nation.
More than a hundred years ago, the King of h.e.l.l was worried that his rule would be overthrown. In order to stop the people from focusing their attention on the imperial court, he ordered his ministers, Ji Changqi, to establish the Divine Meeting.
In just three years, G.o.d would grow into a power that could control the government.
At this point, the Dark King's appointment and dismissal, the army's command, and even the country's economy were all in the hands of the Divine General.
Zhuang Feifei knew about these things, and so did Duke Yan Mu, Mu Changyan.
In the beginning, An Zhan felt that Mu Changyan was a coward, a coward. He was a coward who didn't even dare to resist for his woman.
Thinking about it, after being tortured in the Celestial Prison for four years, he had never thought of rescuing her. His tolerance and fear of the empress dowager had reached such a level that it was truly disdainful.
But when he saw the honest young men with their hands on their chests mumbling, he suddenly realized that he was wrong.
Mu Changyan was not a coward, but a demon.
It took him four years to convince Her Majesty that he was a coward, and he succeeded in playing the part of a coward in front of most people.
And the most obvious proof that he was a coward was that Aunty Ye was imprisoned and he did not dare to save her.
So he used Aunty Ye.
The more suffering Aunty Ye suffered, the more he used it.
But it was during these four years that he had been looked down upon that he had controlled many people, many young people like him.
Wasn't this the method used by the Ghost Kingdom Divine a.s.sociation?
He gave the young people faith, and he was their faith.
Perhaps one day, these youngsters would also be able to force their power to grow as fast as the G.o.ds of Quiet Nation. That would be more than enough to help Mu Changyan regain all the rights she had in her hands.
An Zhan silently turned to leave, but those youngsters didn't seem to care at all.
Some people looked at them as though they were looking at a monster. Due to the ident.i.ty token, no one organized them to leave.
However, in the eyes of those people, An Zeng and Skinny Du seemed to be of a different kind.
””You two aren't loyal enough to the King!””
A voice called out from behind them, while An Chou and Skinny Du quickened their pace and left.
An Zeng alone could get rid of all those youngsters, but An Zhe didn't want to stay here for even a second longer.
Both of them felt as if they had escaped. It was as if they had returned to their own world from a terrifying world. After they couldn't see those people, both An Zeng and Du uncontrollably let out a long sigh of relief.
””Why is this happening?””
””They look like a cult.””
An Xuan nodded. ””They are.””
The two of them returned to the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect with mixed feelings. Then, An Zaiyue called everyone over to discuss what to do with the next two matters. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Firstly, Auntie Ye and Xiao Qidao had just reunited, but it would be dangerous if Auntie Ye stayed in the capital.
An Xuan asked for Aunty Ye's opinion on whether to leave with Xiao Qidao, or stay behind.
The second one was about the dozens of girls. Their decision to stay must also be made by themselves.
Unexpectedly, no one was willing to leave.
Auntie Ye looked much better now. She gave An Zaiyue a grateful look. ””The world is vast. I am willing to take Xiao Qidao and leave this place and find a peaceful place to live.””
But after leaving the capital, I don't have the ability to protect him.
At least, not until I recover.
””Xiao Qidao means that he will follow you wherever you go. I respect your child's thoughts.””
Gu Qianye shrugged, ””I've asked, those girls aren't willing to leave.””
To them, this was a paradise, and leaving it was h.e.l.l.
They are already afraid of the outside world, so no one wants to leave. ””
””Then stay here,”” said An Zaiyue. ””But you must pay attention to your safety. You can't just casually leave.””
These two matters had finally come to an end, and the dispute over the future would have to consider their own matters.
Currently, only three people knew about the arrival of the Great Xi Prince Chen Chong Wu in Yan Kingdom: the empress dowager, Li Changlu, who was by the empress dowager's side, and Zhuge Liuyun.
There were always people watching Zhuge Liuyun's home, and the most likely people were from the empress dowager's side.
Due to certain reasons, the empress dowager had no choice but to leave Zhuge Liuyun behind. She needed this person, or she might not be able to kill him.
However, she was worried, so she sent people to keep an eye on Zhuge Liuyun at all times.
An Xuan went to that small courtyard. Judging from Ding Ningdong's reaction, Zhuge Liuyun also knew of her situation.
The three of them made a comparison. The hardest to make was naturally the empress dowager Su Qing's warmth, followed by Zhuge Liuyun's worry.
As for Li Changlu … he seemed to be easier to deal with than Zhuge Liuyun.
The war began to collect all the information about Li Changlu, and found that this person is also very complex.
An Xin went to the Military Department first, and then she brought w.a.n.g Kai Tai back to Tianqi Sect for a drink after a long day of work.
There were too many things going on in the Infantry Division at the moment. w.a.n.g KaiTai was so tired that he was on the verge of falling apart.
If others were to know that he still went out to drink at this critical juncture, it would be a bit unfair.
Therefore, instead of going to the restaurant, An Zeng and w.a.n.g Kaitai set up a table for a meal on the martial arts floor of the Celestial Sect.
w.a.n.g Kai-tai hadn't touched wine these days, so he seemed to be craving too.
Before the dishes had even arrived, the two bowls of wine had already been gulped down.
””Speak, you brought me here for a drink, and you have no reason to be courteous. You must be plotting something.””
w.a.n.g Kai-tai wiped the wine on the corner of his mouth as he watched the struggle to cut the meat.
