Chapter 223 (1/2)

Perhaps the story between Director Yan Wei and President Sang Hai could no longer be completely unearthed.

An Zaixin thought that the two old men with very different personalities might have made some sort of agreement.

One stood on the Yan Emperor's side, while the other seemed to stand on the Empress's side. This way, even if something happened to Sang Hai, the person who inherited the position of the princ.i.p.al would still be someone of the Yan Emperor's side.

In a sense, perhaps, this man bore more of a burden.

Not just their agreement, their vows, their ideals.

His reserved words carried a lot of uncomprehending emotions, even scolding his reputation.

In the future, if someone were to write down the names of these two in the history books, perhaps their comments would be very unsightly.

After w.a.n.g Kaitai left, An Zhe's heart had not calmed down for a long time.

Everything that he had experienced in the Yan Kingdom was something that he had never experienced when he was in the Great Xi.

Da Xi was a powerful and stable country. Even those ministers of the Da Xi family would fight for him, but they would never involve themselves in such bloodshed.

But in a remote and weary small country like the Yan Dynasty, An Zhe saw more naked and cruel and unacceptable means.

He leaned against the window and looked at the moon in the sky, wondering if it would be peaceful if there were people living on it.

The strength of the Heavenly Ascension Sect was increasing, and its foundation was also becoming thicker and thicker.

The business on these streets was actually not considered to be making money, and the more important thing in the dispute was to persuade people to work for the better.

Although his methods were very crude, he still didn't like violence when persuading others.

The night pa.s.sed like this, but there was no sign of weariness in the dispute.

As soon as the sun rose, people arrived from Heavenly Temple and told An Zaiyue to enter the palace as soon as possible.

Actually, Mu Changyan was rather lenient towards An Zhe. An Zhe had the t.i.tle of vice commander of the Heavenly Temple's guard, but he didn't need to be on duty.

Originally, he wanted to spend a few years quietly cultivating in the Martial Arts Academy before quietly making money so that everyone around him could live a good life of eating big chunks of meat. However, it seemed that life wasn't as easy as he had imagined.

Changing into the official uniform of the vice commander, he began walking towards Empyrean Terminus Palace on foot.

Even though two days had pa.s.sed, the smell of blood seemed to still be lingering on the streets of Fang Shoucheng.

Did Mirror Hall really fall down?

Apparently, it was not that simple. The mysterious madame had never shown herself. Rumor had it that the supreme expert who oversaw the Gao Family did not show himself either. This was enough to show that the Gao Family still had a chance to make a comeback.

However, with the madame's experience and wisdom, she would definitely not do anything foolish right now.

Perhaps she hadn't left Fang Shoucheng and was quietly waiting for an opportunity at a place that no one else could find. Like a poisonous snake, she would bite down at the most appropriate time and not stop until she was dead.

The destruction of Empyrean Terminus Palace sent chills down one's spine.

The Tian He Hall had been razed to the ground, and the huge square had been turned into a huge crater.

The blood wasn't completely cleaned up yet, and in the quiet of the morning there seemed to be someone cursing.

Mu Changyan hadn't slept at all either, so he moved to the Heavenly Imperial Palace behind the Heavenly Temple.

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … The Heavenly Imperial Palace was situated in a straight line. Normally, the Heavenly Imperial Palace was rather deserted.

The people by Mu Changyan's side had almost all died. At this moment, there was only An Chengli waiting on them.

Mu Changyan was gulping down a bowl of noodles when An Zhe pushed open the door and walked in.

He didn't know why, but when he looked at Yan w.a.n.g, who should be incomparably revered in his royal robe, sitting there and devouring the noodles with his mouth wide open, it made people feel pity for him.

””Here it comes. Do you want a bowl?””

Mu Changyan asked with a smile. Although she was tired, she seemed to be in a good mood.

Ang nodded. ””Yes.””

Mu Changyan motioned for An Zongli to serve An Zongli a bowl. An Chengli smiled embarra.s.sedly and said, ””It's only this much. Lord An, please wait a moment. I will have someone cook it again.””

Mu Changyan put down the dishes after eating her fill. She looked at the departing figure of An Chengli and smiled, ””According to the rules, you can't eat anything before you go to court.””

””If I can't hold it in anymore and want to s.h.i.+t, I'll lose my dignity … However, I no longer have any dignity to speak of, so I feel much more relaxed now.””

””Those men are much more unseemly than the king,”” said Anjou.

Mu Changyan was stunned for a moment before her smile became even more relaxed. ””You're a person who can't even brag properly. It doesn't sound good at all.””

An Zaiyue shrugged his shoulders. ””This subject is not good at this.””

Mu Changyan asked, ””How's the matter with the Gao Family progressing?””

An Zaiyue explained the situation in a general way before asking, ””What is the background of the Fine Rain House?””

Mu Changyan stayed silent for a while before asking, ””What do you think of Great Yan's current situation?””

An Zaiyue thought for a moment. ””The king is the weakest when it comes to standing up with three legs.””

Mu Changyan was stunned for a moment before laughing out loud. He was actually laughing out loud, ””Have a peaceful fight, you really don't know how to talk. Although these words are true, can't you say it more tactfully?””

You are right, the king is the weakest among all three of us … The so-called three of us are already overestimating ourselves.

He stood on three legs, one as the empress dowager, the other as the court official, and the other as the solitaire.

Although Gu Feng's foot looked weak, he couldn't break it in a short period of time.

””Because if this Gu were to break, then the cauldron would fall as well.””

””You asked me what kind of background the Fine Rain House has, and it was one of the three people you mentioned.

Do you really think those court officials would be easily controlled by the Gao Family?

It's not that easy.

When they discovered that such a large group of people had become the Gao Family's chess pieces, these chess pieces naturally wouldn't allow themselves to be manipulated by the Gao Family.

So they came up with a plan, which was to use the martial arts world to deal with the martial artists.

When those people united together, they sent reliable people to establish the Fine Rain House and try to compete with the Gao Family.

Of course, this was only on the surface. Their goal was to use the undercurrents of the martial world to eradicate the Gao Family.

””It's just that they didn't expect the power of the Gao Family to far exceed their imagination.””

An Xuan sighed. ””In other words, this courteous official has sent the wrong person.””

Mu Changyan shook her head. ””I didn't do anything wrong, on the contrary, I did.””

The Rainwater Lodge has received your gift, and they will think you are trying to get close to them.

I heard that Open Extreme went to your Heavenly Enlightenment Sect?

That's a signal, a signal that they're pus.h.i.+ng you around to take you in.
