"Why did the lord of the city acquit him?" Song Xiachen questioned the official.

Although Ankang was silent, he also wanted to know. I don't know the city lord that well, so I dare to let myself go under the pressure of my son.

Only then did the official see that His Royal Highness Gongzi was also there, so he hurriedly saluted and said, "My subordinates are just here to announce the order." Details are unknown. ”

"What if I don't let it go?"

The official walked quickly to Song Xiachen and whispered a few words to him.

Song Xiachen frowned, glanced at An Kang strangely, and waved his hand to his subordinates: "Let's go!" ”

An Kang let out a long breath. It seems that his father An Tianhan is not a waste nerd. His sons were dying, and he finally made a move, letting the city lord let himself go under the pressure of the king's son.

Daddy is awesome! When you get home, you must give Daddy a big hug. Hahaha.

Ankang escaped from prison and was in a very good mood! With Nangong Man and Duanmu Wing, he quickly returned to Anfu.

When the people in Anfu heard that Ankang had returned, they hurriedly sent someone to the yamen to inform the master.

Ankang said: "There is no need to inform him. My father brought me back. This time it's Song Xiachen who wants to kill me, where can anyone else save it except my father? ”

The smile on Su Wanyu's face froze: "Is it your father's protection?" ”

"yes." After An Kang answered, he thought to himself, what do you mean by this expression? Don't you want my dad to let me out? Do you wish I had died sooner? This stepmother seems to be a bit vicious.

However, when An Kang saw his sister An Yiyu's expression, his thoughts changed, because the smile on An Yiyu's face also froze.

An Yiyu said: "Since it is Song Xiachen who wants to kill you." I'm afraid Dad won't be able to keep you out. Even the martial arts competition is such a thing, my father is helpless. What's more, this time the matter is much more serious than the martial arts competition. ”

Saying this, An Kang also felt that Su Wanyu and An Yiyu's ideas were right.

Martial arts competitions are also life-threatening moves. An Tianhan can obstruct that competition in various ways, which is reasonable and legal. But An Tianhan didn't come up with any means.

This time it was Song Xiachen who used the national law to put An Kang to death, what other means could An Tianhan have?

Ankang asked: "Then if it wasn't for my father to protect me, who would it be?" Song Qiushuang her father? ”

An Yiyu shook his head: "Song Xiachen is Song Yanqian's nephew. Even if it is to be guaranteed, it is to avoid the death penalty and re-condemn individual sins. Acquitted, isn't this too much to give his nephew His Royal Highness? ”

Ankang has to admit that An Yiyu is indeed more proficient than himself in terms of human sophistication.

As a high school student in the 21st century, although his knowledge system is broader than that of ancient people, after all, he is busy studying under the pressure of the college entrance examination, and he has not gone into society to experience, and he is still very tender in terms of human feelings.

Until now, it has been delayed for another day in vain, and the matter of causing the sky and thunder has to be intensified.

After those who cared about him with true feelings and false feelings were gone, Ankang asked Duanmu Yi to go to the Song Mansion to give the money to Song Xiayang and let him buy materials for making steam engines.

Building a steam engine is neither urgent nor important, but after building ten steam engines, Ankang has the opportunity to gain a new skill.

He didn't know what new skills he was getting, but he still had a glimmer of hope. Maybe this new skill is the breakthrough of the current difficulties?

Although the system is often not working, it is still very trustworthy once it works.

When Ankang was about to go back to the garden with Nangong Man to practice the lightning channeling technique, Shen Yang came.

Shen Yang gave An Kang a salute and said, "Congratulations to Prince An for his safe release from prison." ”

An Kang said angrily to Shen Yang: "This time I lost my eyes and was framed by your master." ”

Shen Yang's face changed: "Song Xiachen is not my master. ”

Ankang felt strange: "He is not your master, so who is he?" ”

"Everyone takes what they need. I relied on his power, he relied on my spells and elixirs, and by the way, I just helped him with some small things. ”

The so-called trivial things are probably to help him kill people with spells.

That's not the point, though, it's about two things.

"Mr. Shin, do you know why I was acquitted?"

Shen Yang said: "I don't know about it. I only know that someone ordered the release. ”

"Ordered to be released?" An Kang wondered, "It's understandable that someone gave an order to the city lord, could it be that someone else gave an order to Song Xiachen?" Who ordered it? Monarch? ”

Shen Yang said: "I'm afraid the monarch has no reason to give this order. With all due respect, it is impossible for a monarch to let his son lose face in order to protect you. ”

An Kang felt even more strange: "Apart from the monarch, who else can order Song Xiachen?" And, like you said, who would do this if you dismissed His Royal Highness Gongzi's face for me? ”

An Kang looked at Nangong Man.

Nangong Man said: "Don't look at me. I don't have much to do with these officials. ”

That's weird!

Knowing that this Shen Yang and Song Xiachen are not all the way, and his safety is not threatened for the time being, Ankang wants to know another important thing.

An Kang asked, "So, Mr. Shen, can you do what I talked to you about right away?" ”

Shen Yang replied, "Of course." If it is convenient for Prince An, he can go out to the place of alchemy immediately. ”

That's what Ankang is waiting for. When the matter of detention in prison has been delayed for a day, time waits for no one.

Ankang prepared a carriage, made simple modifications to the carriage, and set off with Nangong Man and Shen Yang.

Nothing to say all the way.

When he arrived at the place, Ankang knew that this alchemy place located in a wild mountain was still a little far from the new city. As Shen Yang said, the closer you are to the place of alchemy, the more gloomy the weather here becomes.

The new city in the distance is full of thunder and lightning, and it is almost like a ghost land.

"Is this the weather in all your alchemy places?" An Kang asked Shen Yang.

Shen Yang shook his head and said, "Never." ”

"And why is this happening here?"

"This mountain is the holy place mentioned in the alchemy secret book that has been handed down from our sect. But because of age, it has been abandoned. But last year, when I was counting the classics, I found a book that mentioned this holy place, and it also said that the aura here will not be exhausted for thousands of years. ”

"Has it been 10,000 years?"

"It's only been a few hundred years. The reason for its abandonment is no longer known. I brought people here last month to try the elixir. Although I don't know what the aura actually means, there is such weather during the alchemy these days. ”

Shen Yang looked at the sky and said, "This is a celestial phenomenon that has never been seen before. In general, such celestial phenomena must indicate great good or great evil. Not sure how it will be this time. ”

"What kind of great benefit and great harm?"

"Great profit is to refine extraordinary good pills. The big harm is that the Dan furnace collapses, not to mention hurting people and killing people, and all the precious medicinal materials will be destroyed in one fell swoop. What's more, it will destroy the aura here. ”

An Kang nodded. Although he didn't understand what Shen Yang said, he could understand it by explaining it with environmental pollution.

It's a good field, and it could have been used to grow good crops. As a result, the wrong fertilizer was used, or the water and soil quality were polluted, and the field was destroyed. That's probably what it means.

The further you go into the mountains, the weirder the weather becomes.

Thunder and lightning crackled down on the front and back of the carriage like beans.

Fortunately, Ankang had been trained in the thunder pool of the Ita Galaxy, and he also knew some simple ways to avoid lightning, and installed some insulating materials in the carriage in advance, so he was not afraid of these thunderbolts that were not very strong.

But Shen Yang and Nangong Man looked surprised.

Although it is a wild mountain, the road up the mountain is relatively easy to walk except that it is muddy. This is obviously Shen Yang, they have repaired in advance in order to transport equipment and materials to the mountain.

The carriage stopped at the gate of a dilapidated yard. Looking at the courtyard wall, the scale of this courtyard is not small. It seems that at its peak there could have been at least a few hundred people living here. It's just that it's in disrepair, and it's in this gloomy atmosphere, indescribably dilapidated and weird.

Shen Yang pulled a rope hanging from the eaves three times at the door. Soon footsteps were heard hurrying in.

The door opened, and three people appeared.

After seeing Shen Yang, the three of them exclaimed, "Master!" "Master", bow down.

Shen Yang ignored them and walked towards the courtyard with An Kang and Nangong Man.

The older middle-aged man walked a few steps to catch up with Shen Yang and whispered, "Uncle Shi is here." ”

Shen Yang's face changed, and he stopped and asked, "What is he doing here?" ”
