Chapter 191 (1/2)

The sky was already completely dark, and the hawkers by the roadside had already gathered their stalls and returned home.

The two men stood in the shadows at the corner of the street, staring in the direction of the army, and found the Imperial Guards standing guard outside the gates.

w.a.n.g Kai-tai had told An Zeng that all of his officers had been transferred away, and that the military was now guarded by Imperial Guards sent from the Embroidery Palace, both inside and outside the military.

It was said that a group of uninvolved military officials, including the a.s.sistant minister, Ma Ziwei, were grounded in the military yamen. No one was allowed to leave the main entrance of the military headquarters without orders from the palace.

””Right now, Ma Zi Wei must be surrounded by experts from the Embroidery Palace. What should we do?””

If he forced his way in, he might not even have the confidence to bring Ma Zi out.

Even if we bring him out, we don't have a place to interrogate him. ””

An Zaiyue said, ””Now there's only the two of us left … The rest of the people at the Gathering Shang Manor have already been closely watched. Zhuang Feifei has already been called by King Yan to the Heavenly Temple. King Yan should be trying to protect her.””

””With our strength, it will be difficult for us to charge in.””

””It would be alright if it was just these Imperial Guards.””

””But the experts in the palace... we don't understand at all.””

””Perhaps there is a way.””

He recalled that Chen Shaobai had given him a black oil-paper umbrella. That umbrella had played a great role in the a.s.sa.s.sination of the Yan Emperor and Empress Dowager in the Heavenly Temple.

Later on, the umbrella was damaged and kept in Old Huo to repair it.

At that time, Old Huo told An Zou that the umbrella was also a magic weapon.

An Zeng let Du stay thin, he alone back to the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect.

He knew that after Qu Liuxi and Gu Qianye evacuated the people from the Heavenly Awakening Sect, they would definitely return, so he decided to wait in the heaven defying Seal.

After An Zaihai entered the Heaven Defying Seal, he discovered that Old Huo was standing there in a daze.

He held the cat in his arms, while Little Seven fell asleep on a nearby recliner.

””Master Huo, is that Black Umbrella Cultivator ready?””

””Black umbrella?””

I don't have any magic equipment, so there's no way to repair it.

””What, you want to use it?””

An Xin nodded, ””I remember that the Black Umbrella has some special abilities, it can temporarily make people invisible.””

””If I want to enter the military, I need a black umbrella.””

Old Huo sighed, ””The material of the black umbrella is special, and I don't know how to make it. If I had the same material, I could repair it, but I can't do anything about it right now.””

””Then I'll think of another way.””

An Zeng hurriedly left the room and saw a black oil-paper umbrella by the entrance. There were two of them at the same time …

An Chou immediately raised his head and looked left and right, but he didn't see anyone.

He was sure that Chen Shaobai had been here. After this guy put down the black umbrella, he went into hiding.

He didn't care too much about it, instead, he picked up the black umbrella and sprinted towards the military base.

In the shadows, Chen Shaobai, who was holding a black umbrella, looked at the departing figure and mumbled to himself, ””Idiot who doesn't know what's going on, clearly the Military Department is finished and the Martial Arts Academy is finished. I'm afraid that after a while, the King of Yan will be finished as well. You actually foolishly jumped into such a big trap.””

””If it weren't for the fact that you absolutely cannot die, I wouldn't bother with your trivial matters.””

An Zeng held two black umbrellas and ran towards the military. Behind him, Chen Shaobai, who was floating in the night sky, followed him as if he was a ghost.

If there was anyone who could see him, Chen Shaobai looked more like a puppet being carried away by someone.

An Xuan fought his way to the corner of the street. He handed a black umbrella to Du, ””You stay outside and watch. We can't both stay inside. If I need your help, I will shoot fireworks into the sky.””

””Then be careful.””

An Zhan nodded, ””You be careful too.””

An Zongming opened the black oil-paper umbrella, took a deep breath and walked towards the main entrance of the Infantry Division.

His eyes were fixed on the eyes of the Imperial Guards at the door, worried that the oil-paper umbrellas would suddenly lose its effect.

As he was walking forward, An Zaihai couldn't help but think, why did Chen Shaobai know me so well?

What kind of trouble had he encountered that Chen Shaobai always knew at the first moment? Was it because he had been secretly watching him all this time?

If that was the case, then it was a little too terrifying.

He carried the black oil-paper umbrella to the door, and none of the armored Imperial Guards saw him.

With a sigh of relief, An Zhe wiped the Imperial Guards as he walked through the door.

He had been here more than once.

He didn't know much about Ma Ziwei, the a.s.sistant minister of the Ministry of War, but he knew that Chen Zaiyan valued this person.

Back then, when Hao Ping had pa.s.sed away, King Yan Mu Changyan immediately turned Chen Zaiyan into the Military Department's Minister.

In the list that Chen presented to King Yan, Ma Ziwei wrote it himself for the a.s.sistant minister of the Ministry of War.

Thus, Ma Ziwei was one of Chen Zaiyan's trusted aides.

It was also because of this that no one in the Infantry Division could have imagined that the person who had stabbed Chen Zhiyan in the back at this critical moment would be Ma Ziwei.

An Zai-yan knew where the a.s.sistant minister's room was. After a short walk, he stopped and turned to walk back to Chen Zai-yan's room.

Not far from the room, through the open window, he saw Ma Ziwei sitting inside.

Even though he hadn't been appointed yet, he couldn't wait to put on the purple robe Ma Ziwei.

Sometimes, greed can deform a person.

At the door of the room stood two men in white brocades, the one on the left looking in his forties, white and unshaven.

The one on the right looked young, in his mid-twenties, with a full beard.

Two people, one on the left and one on the right, stood in front of the door.

This was a true expert, An Zhe was a little nervous in his heart.

An Zhe had tested the effects of the black oil-paper umbrella, and not only could it perfectly cover the user's body, it was also flawless like air.

What was even more amazing was that it could even block the aura of others, leaving them in an unblemished state of invisibility.

If such a good item was in terms of its grade, it would at most be at the peak of the Red Ranked.
