Chapter 212 (1/2)
An Zhe felt very painful. There was not a single part of his body that wasn't in pain.
He wasn't interested in this sort of promotion at all. As the former head of the Great Xiamang Mantra, he was definitely one of the ten most powerful people in the world.
The King of Swallow seemed to bestow a heavy reward to him, but to him, it was not attractive at all.
Besides, he hadn't come for these rewards.
Since it was revenge, of course, he had to be decisive.
When you have a bit of strength, think of ways to take revenge. When you have a bit of strength, don't hold back.
If you want to avenge yourself with the kindness of the world, then give me a fart.
Empress Dowager Su was the greatest enemy of An Zaiyue in the Yan Kingdom. If An Zaiyue didn't have the strength to seek revenge on the Da Xi, then he'd first find out all the enemies of the Yan Kingdom.
The old struggle for peace had been held in high regard.
Now that there is a little more purity in the conflict, some people might think that the dispute is a little selfish … Please, this is revenge, not child's play.
Two Black Tortoise Camp guards were waiting for him at the entrance. When they saw An Zeng coming, they helped him to a room in the guard's office and helped him change into a different set of clothes.
It was a very stylish and elegant imperial bodyguard uniform. It was embroidered in black and had an almond yellow collar and cuffs. It made An Zhe look even more handsome.
Although he wasn't exactly a pretty man, the heroic aura he emitted was rather lethal for girls.
An Chou received the longblade that symbolized the ident.i.ty of a guard of Empyrean Terminus Palace. The pattern of the drifting clouds on the sheath seemed very solemn.
After hanging up the saber, An Zaihai's mind went blank for a moment … It was as though he had returned to the state he was in when he was working at the Mystic realm.
He tried to make himself look unhurt. He walked steadily.
When the court officials who were rus.h.i.+ng to the Empyrean Terminus Hall saw An Zaiyue, they all felt strange in their hearts.
That young man seemed to have become a fourth rank imperial bodyguard or vice commander with just a turn of his body. He also had the t.i.tle of a first grade uncle, so how did he suddenly rise to such a high position?
He kept his head high and his chest puffed out as he walked into the great hall. He then walked all the way to the throne.
The teenager with the knife suddenly gave the court officials in the hall a sense of pressure.
He just stood there, but for some reason, he suddenly felt nervous.
The adults who thought that they were much more n.o.ble than An Zaiyue did not even dare to look An Zaiyue in the eye.
Not long after, King Yan, Mu Changyan, and his men came in from the side of the hall and walked quickly to the throne.
Mu Changyan glanced at the officials, then gave a slight nod to An Zhe.
Mu Changyan sat down and looked at the puzzled officials.
””The only reason I let someone ring a bell to call you over is because this matter is too big, so big that it touches upon the very foundations of Great Yan's kingdom.
The fighting on the frontline is making people anxious. Just now, our close friend the great general sent someone to report to us about the situation on the frontline. I've called you guys over so that you could all listen to him. ””
They didn't know why, but when they heard that it was a war at the front lines, they all let out a sigh of relief at the same time.
Mu Changyan looked at the Great General Su Zong. ””Great General, you just returned from the frontline. Do you know this person?””
He pointed to Zhong Jiuge.
Zhong Jiuge felt that he would be nervous, but when he stood here, he realized that he actually enjoyed it a lot.
Then he said to himself, You were born to be a f.u.c.king genius.
He was not nervous at all. Instead, he was enjoying the thrill of this scene.
He knew that nothing would go wrong with him, because his appearance had been helped by Fang Dang.
An Zaixin had Skinny Du contact Fang Daozhong. Fang Daozhong described Zhong Jiuge as a mask, so even a familiar person wouldn't be able to easily see through him, let alone Su Zong.
Su Zong glanced at Zhong Jiuge, he did know this person.
He nodded, ””Yes, I do. This is the personal guard of the general, Fang Xiaoshui.””
I saw him a few times when I was in the East. ””
Mu Changyan nodded, ””It's good that you know him.””
Su Zong was stunned for a moment. He could vaguely hear a trace of ill intent from Mu Changyan's tone.
Mu Changyan looked at Zhong Jiuge and said, ””If General Fang has asked you to bring him back, say it word for word. Do not leave him out.””
Zhong Jiuge cupped his fist and bowed, ””This official obeys your command.””
He stood up straight, deliberately didn't even look at An Zaiyue, turned around and looked at the court official, ””The general told me to come back from the eastern border and report the situation to the king myself, not to pa.s.s the papers to the army, because some things might have gone wrong beyond everyone's expectation.””
””There is a high possibility that the military camp from the front of the Eastern Frontier to Fanggu City has been infiltrated by the Quiet People. All the information that was sent back to the capital in written form may have been tampered with.””
When he said this, the entire hall went into an uproar.
Su Zong coldly said, ””I already thought of it. Otherwise, why would I have rushed all the way back from the eastern border instead of using urgent reports?””
The military camp was under the jurisdiction of the military, and Chen Zaiyan and the others had already committed crimes of treason. It was only reasonable that such a situation now occurred in the military camp.
The culprits have already arranged everything. If I hadn't discovered their conspiracy in the eastern border, they would have had a bigger plan.
””From the very beginning, Chen Zaiyan insisted that he had malicious intents towards You Ye … His goal was to get Great Yan to transfer all of his troops over and then collude with You Guo to eliminate our Great Yan's army in one breath. This way, You Ye can take advantage of this situation and destroy my Great Yan.””
Su Zong turned around and clasped his fists, ””Your Majesty, your subject asks that your Majesty immediately give the order to kill Chen Zeyan and the rest of the rebels!””
””If a sinner like him doesn't get rid of her, she'll be worried.””
All of the empress dowager's men followed suit. ””This subject asks that Your Majesty give the order immediately and kill the defector Chen Zaiyan!””
Mu Changyan smiled and said, ””This voice is uniform, as if it had been practiced before … Don't be anxious, let Fang Xiaoxiao finish her words.””
Zhong Jiuge nodded, ””It is precisely because something happened in the military, and I could be controlled, that is why the general sent me, Xingye, to come back at the same time.””
The adults were worried about the country, and so was the lowly position … but the adults did not know that the military gang was no longer under the control of the military.
