Volume 4 The Wind and the Clouds, the Four Continents and the Land Sinking, Chapter 12 Conspiracy
The vast Kunpeng Sea has been famous for its abundant fishery resources since ancient times, and the fishing boats that come here every day to fish are lined up and lined with sails, which is not spectacular.
But in recent decades, Lin Xiaoyun has made the fishermen pay more and more heavy offerings, and there are many kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
However, the waters around Biwa Island are different, with beautiful weather and many fish all year round, and it doesn't seem to matter whether there is an offering or not, you can still catch fish. Over time, the fishing grounds of Biwa Island became a source of livelihood for many fishermen in the vicinity.
Just below this sea area like a blessed land of gods, there is a small courtyard. Although this courtyard is not very magnificent, and the faΓ§ade is not large, the four big characters of "Anguo Mansion" on the plaque show the good status of the owner.
This is the residence of the dragon clan Anguo Gongan Chenghuan.
This An Guogong is the founder of the Dragon Clan, and he has made great contributions to the Dragon Clan. Once controlled the entire dragon clan's soldiers and horses, one-third of the Kunpeng Sea was their family's fiefdom.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. Lin Bai was implicated in the palace incident, and his status has plummeted since then, and his fiefdom is only a corner of Pipa Island.
Today, the sun is very good, and Anchen Feng pushed An Lao Guogong to the yard early in the morning to bask in the sun.
Seeing that the weeds in the yard were a little lush, An Lao Guogong stretched out his fingers, and his mouth made a humming sound.
An Chenfeng nodded, and said to An Lao Guogong: "Got it! β
With that, he picked up the scythe in the corner of the wall and began to clear the vines along the wall. Because it is cleaned up frequently. There weren't a lot of weeds, and after a while, the walls were much cleaner.
An Chenfeng patted the soil on his hands, came to An Lao Guogong, pointed to the newly corrected land and said, "Father, it has been cleaned up, are you still satisfied?"
An Lao Guogong tilted his head, raised his mouth, and nodded slowly.
At this time, An Chenyu came over with a bowl of soup and medicine, and shouted: "Father, big brother!" handed the medicine to An Chenfeng.
An Chenfeng took the medicine bowl, scooped up a spoonful with a spoon, put it to his mouth and blew it gently, and tested the temperature with his lips, feeling that it was no longer hot, so he sent it to An Laoguogong's mouth and said, "Father, take medicine!"
Guogong opened his mouth with difficulty, trying to drink the potion, but as soon as the potion, half of it flowed out from the other side. I ate a few spoonfuls like this, and more than half of it flowed out.
An Chenyu sighed and said, "Hey, what should my father be in such a situation!"
An Chenfeng said while feeding his father medicine: "My father has become ill from hard work, and his body is old, so it is difficult to improve his work for a while. We can't afford to lose faith. β
An Chenyu snorted and replied, "What's the use of having confidence? I heard that the Dragon King's kid is ready to make peace with the Genting Heavenly Palace again, and he also wants to blame our family." I'm so anxious right now!"
The eldest of the An family did not speak and continued to feed his father medicine.
An Chenyu told the eldest brother not to speak, and continued to raise his voice and said: "Big brother, you said that Lin Xiaoyun, who killed a thousand knives, did all the hard work and tiring work, and now that he can't beat the other people's Cloud Palace, he will admit it, and he will blame us." I can't wait to go into the Dragon Palace now, dig out Lin Xiaoyun's old boy's heart and see if it's black. β
After An Chenfeng finished feeding the old man, he put the medicine bowl on the stone table on the side, and wiped the medicine juice from his father's mouth one by one with a dining cloth.
An Chenyu next to him saw that he was so calm, and in a hurry, he grabbed his sleeve, but when he saw the eldest brother's eyes full of anger, he panicked for a while, took a step back, supported one hand on the stone table, and broke the medicine bowl just now.
"I... I didn't mean to. An Chenyu knew that he was at a loss and argued.
An Chenfeng's eyes widened angrily, but considering that his old father was still by his side, it was not easy to attack. He looked down at the old man who had fallen asleep, and motioned with his eyes for his younger brother to come with him.
The two came to a secluded place, and An Chenfeng lowered his voice and scolded angrily: "An Chenyu, look at what you looked like just now! If my father has three long and two short, I will ask you. β
An Chenyu defended: "I'm also in a hurry, don't blame big brother." β
An Chenfeng said: "I don't know what you said. But now that the whole continent is in turmoil, everyone is in danger, and we are lucky to be able to spend his last days with my father in this paradise away from the chaos. β
"But, big brother!" An Chenyu stepped forward and said, "Now it's the people who are the swords, and I am the fish and meat! When the time comes, Lin Xiaoyun will hand us over to the Genting Heavenly Palace as scapegoats, then our family will be over!"
"It's not certain who is the sword warrior and who is the fish and meat!" An Chenfeng said: "Just now, Concubine Chen Niangniang came to a secret letter, asking us to report to Zhuo Hua Yuanjun that Lin Xiaoyun was excavating the underground palace, and ask the army of the Cloud Palace to crusade against Lin Xiaoyun. β
As soon as he heard the eldest brother say this, An Chenyu became interested, he rubbed his hands, and asked excitedly: "Concubine Chen is finally willing to tear her face with Lin Xiaoyun's old boy?"
An Chenfeng nodded and said: "Concubine Chen has always been kind to our family, and has always been respectful to our father. Besides, Lin Xiaoyun wants to give us to Genting Heavenly Palace as a gift, and he also has to ask us if we will agree. β
"But big brother, the terrain of this Kunpeng Sea is dangerous, Lin Xiaoyun has been operating here for tens of millions of years, and the Dragon Palace is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I'm afraid the army of the Cloud Palace will have to pay a lot of price if they want to come in!" An Chenyu said.
"Well, Concubine Chen has already discussed it with me. When the army of the Cloud Palace arrives in the Kunpeng Sea, our old department will close all the organs and open the door to the sea. When he arrived at the Dragon Palace, naturally someone arranged by Concubine Chen opened the palace gate. If everything goes well, the army of the Cloud Palace can go straight to the royal court without bloodshed. β
An Chenyu was overjoyed, clasped his hands into fists and said: "Such a grand event, how can I, An Chenyu, miss it." I would like to take the lead in settling down the family, and leave this letter delivery errand to me!"
An Chenfeng nodded, and took out two letters from his arms, both of which were sealed with dragon fire paint. He handed the two letters to An Chenyu and said, "One of them is a letter I wrote to the Yuan Jun of the Cloud Palace, in which it exposed the many evil deeds that Lin Xiaoyun had committed over the years, including betraying the Cloud Palace, taking refuge in the dark, and stealing the treasures of Xuanhuang. Another letter to the family is to Jiaomu Jiao of Cloud Palace, that is, our third son. You must give it to him with your own hands. β
An Chenyu looked serious, solemnly accepted the two letters, and swore solemnly: "This matter is related to the future of the An family and Concubine Chen, and Chenyu will definitely do his best." β
An Chenfeng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Second brother, take care of yourself, you must come back safely." β
An Chenyu returned to his house, packed a few changes of clothes, and then left in a hurry. When his wife saw that he was in such a hurry, she asked, "Is there anything urgent for your husband, do you need a concubine to help you clean up?"
An Chenyu stopped his hurried footsteps, looked back at his wife, and said, "I'll help my eldest brother go out to run an errand, and I'll come back in a few days, and you can take care of the two children at home." I wanted to say something, but when I parted, I suddenly didn't know where to start, so I turned my head and walked out.
An Chenyu stepped on a dragon horse and headed all the way towards the entrance and exit of Kunpeng Sea. After walking for more than an hour, I finally saw the towering city pass, suspended in the blue water.
An Chenyu came to the city gate and looked up at the four huge words "Kunpeng Dragon Domain" on the city pass. Stretched out his hand and took out the token of the Anguo Mansion from his waist, handed it to the guard guarding the door, and said: "The second son of the An family, on the order of the head of the family, went to sea on an errand, and asked General Chengguan to inspect the warrant. β
The guard took the token, hurried to the doorway, found a man who looked like a general, and handed it over. The Chengguan general pinched the token with two fingers, only glanced at it, then threw it back to the guard, and said a few words to him, causing several people next to him to laugh, and the guard also took the token and returned to An Chenyu with a smile.
He threw the token in his hand and said jokingly: "By the order of the Dragon King, you need the edict of the Dragon King himself to settle down, and your token is not good." Besides, your old man doesn't have many days left, so this token should be kept for his funeral. After saying that, he smiled and turned to leave.
Where did An Chenyu be bullied like this, he grabbed the guard and asked: "Take your dog eyes and take a good look, this is the token of the Anguo Mansion, and it is engraved with the words "Go to Sea." β
The guard still looked indifferent, and said with a smile: "General An, this order is not made by me, don't embarrass me as a little guard!" After speaking, he also glanced at the Chengguan General in the cave of the city gate.
An Chenyu pushed away the guard, strode into the city gate, and the guards on both sides stretched out to block it, and were dragged to the side by An Chenyu one by one. When the people inside heard the movement, they immediately drew their weapons and rushed over to surround An Chenyu.
The general at the head of the group angrily reprimanded: "An family thief, you don't raise fish at home well, and you come here to spread wild, are you really going to rebel?"
An Chenyu suppressed the anger in his heart, clasped his fists and saluted: "Today, I was entrusted by the head of the family to go out to do errands, and I asked the general to be accommodating." β
The city gate general sneered twice and said, "It has been said that without the dragon king's personal edict, none of you can go to sea." β
An Chenyu was anxious, so he hit the two guards around him with two palms.
The gatekeeper shouted, "Settle down and rebel, take down the thieves." β
So many guards flocked to it.
