Chapter 35: The An Brothers

"The predecessor is from Jijiazhuang!" An Shaowen exclaimed in a low voice, and then looked relieved, "No wonder the cultivation is so high at a young age!"

An Shaowen actually suspected that he was either from Jijiazhuang or from Divine Flame Valley when he first met Jiang Hua, except for these two major forces, other small sects would not have such a young master of the Naqi Realm, as for the mysterious Biluoquan, I heard that there are only female disciples, and there are no male disciples.

An Shaowen bowed to Jiang Hua and said respectfully, "Senior Ji, junior An Shaowen, the second son of the city lord of Aoki City, respectfully invite the seniors to move into the city lord's mansion as guests, and I hope that the seniors will agree." ”

Jiang Hua still didn't understand what the three words of Jijiazhuang represented, thinking that An Shaowen's performance was just to help him get out, otherwise why would the dignified city lord be so respectful to himself, even if he saved him, this performance was too much. Since he has already assumed the identity of Ji Jiazhuang, he can only take one step at a time, and Jiang Hua can only agree to An Shaowen's request.

Liu Xian, as the commander of the guards of Aoki City, although he is not a monk in the Qi Realm, he also knows the three major forces of monks, and he has also seen the monks of the Divine Flame Valley in the City Lord's Mansion, but the people of Jijiazhuang never come to Aoki City, because this is the sphere of influence of the Divine Flame Valley, so this person who Ji Hua calls himself Jijiazhuang makes him even more suspicious. Although Liu Xian was suspicious, since the other party had reported the origin, it was still a big force like Jijiazhuang, and he didn't dare to question it casually, so he could only watch An Shaowen lead Jiang Hua away.

Looking at the three people who were far away, Liu Xian's face was pale and silent, and Mu Yan came up, "Commander Liu, let's dissipate our anger! We can't afford to provoke Xiao An Gongzi, haven't you understood it yet? Xiao An Gongzi is obviously coming for this person." However, if you want to say that he is a monk master of Jijiazhuang, I don't believe it, maybe it is a nameless rat who Xiao An Gongzi found out of nowhere, and deliberately set up a situation to frame you!"

Liu Xian was even more annoyed when he heard this, "Fart! Obviously, you are planning to frame others, I am just presiding over the justice of the law, why does Xiao An Gongzi want to frame me?"

"Why don't you understand, you are upholding justice, but what did you offend because of the senior masters of Jijiazhuang, if you were stabbed by Xiao An Gongzi to the city lord, do you know that the city lord is very respectful of the monks, although Aoki City does not welcome monks of unknown origin, but who doesn't know the attitude of the city lord towards those monks of great power, you are under the jurisdiction of the eldest prince, is this unclear is to embarrass the eldest prince?" Mu Yan's eyes rolled wildly, and the baby in his hand ran away like this, he was very unwilling, but the other party was not something he could provoke, so let them bite it indiscriminately, and he also counted out his bad breath.

Liu Xian didn't expect Mu Yan to analyze like this at all, and he didn't think so at first, but the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and the more he pondered it, the more he felt that Mu Yan's words were true.

"Remember, your stolen documents are in my hand, in case someone overturns the case later, you know what to do when you go back!" Liu Xian warned Mu Yan.

"Understand, it's not the first time, as long as you don't let go, the little one will definitely not talk much, I'll go back to set up the theft scene, don't worry!" Mu Yan expressed his determination and returned to the medical hall.

"This matter must be reported to the eldest prince immediately, and if it is true, it is better to deal with it in advance. Liu Xian didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly beckoned the soldiers to continue patrolling, and quickly ran towards the residence of the eldest prince.

In the west courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, in a simple and bright room, An Shaowen sat under Jiang Hua, looking a little restrained, and neither of them knew what to say. Jiang Hua is afraid that if he says too much, he will lose, and An Shaowen has always treated Jiang Hua as a senior monk, and his words are not very casual, his original plan was completely dispelled after hearing Jiang Hua's report, and now he is simply inviting Jiang Hua in the name of the City Lord's Mansion to do his best as the landlord.

"Senior, my father is deliberating, please rest with me first, and I'll help introduce you later. ”

"Gongzi An, don't bother him if the city lord is busy with affairs, I thanked Gongzi An for helping me get out, and besides, I'm not a senior, just call me by my name. Jiang Hua was very uncomfortable being called by the other party's seniors, and he had the face to accept the title of his predecessors with his own ability.

An Shaowen was upright, and when he heard Jiang Hua say this, he couldn't help but show joy on his face, but he still had some scruples, "Senior, I ......"

Jiang Hua didn't have a bad feeling for An Shaowen, and now he even likes this humble and kind second generation official, seeing An Shaowen's expression, he can probably guess that the other party is a little uncomfortable calling a person of his age as a senior. Jiang Hua smiled, "You and I are of the same age, you still call me by my name, it is very awkward to call you and me, and my cultivation is not worthy of the word senior." ”

An Shaowen could feel Jiang Hua's sincerity, and exhaled heavily, and even his sitting posture became casual, "Senior, oh no, that Ji ......" He wanted to call Brother Ji, but as soon as the word Ji came out, he immediately realized that it was not very nice to call it like this. "If you don't dislike it, I'll call you Brother Hua in the future!

"Then I'll call you Shaowen!hehehe......" Jiang Hua also readily agreed, and the two of them instantly felt that there was no barrier, and they talked eagerly, of course, it was basically An Shaowen who was talking, and Jiang Hua was the audience.

Jiang Hua himself didn't realize that he was now sitting in the house of a person who was more powerful than the "mayor", talking casually with a second-generation official, everything was so natural, it seemed that strength determined the mentality, which could not be denied.

The lunch arranged by An Shaowen was very simple, with four side dishes with meat and vegetables and a few soft pastries, it seems that the life of the City Lord's Mansion is not as luxurious and extravagant as imagined. An Shaowen didn't explain why it was so easy to entertain distinguished guests, and Jiang Hua didn't care about this, but felt that the food was very appetizing.

As soon as they finished lunch, Liu Xian and Mu Yan came to the door with a bunch of gifts to ask for a meeting, saying that they were here to apologize to Jiang Hua, and An Shaowen blocked the two of them out of the door according to Jiang Hua's wishes. Liu Xian also said that he was ordered by the eldest prince to invite Jiang Hua to the Eastern Courtyard as a guest, Jiang Hua asked An Shaowen without knowing it, and only then did he know why the eldest prince of the city lord would invite him, a stranger he had never met.

is another bloody drama of brothers competing for favor and seeking a high position. It turned out that An Zhengyuan, the lord of Aoki City, married two wives, the eldest lady died of illness at an early age, leaving a son named An Shaojie, and the second lady gave birth to a son named An Shaowen. An Zhengyuan especially favored his eldest son An Shaojie because of the early death of his wife, An Shaojie was not qualified enough to practice, but An Shaowen was talented, and he stepped into the ranks of monks at the age of fourteen, and was known as the genius monk of Aoki City. After An Shaowen successfully broke through the realm and entered the Naqi realm, the eldest brother An Shaojie seemed to have changed as a person, no longer the amiable eldest brother, but became withdrawn and obedient, and began to oppose An Shaowen everywhere, but An Zhengyuan did not care less for the eldest son because of his younger son's achievements. Although An Shaowen is a straightforward person, he can't stand the cynicism of his eldest brother and the deliberate difficulties everywhere, and the two are like fire and water. According to An Shaowen, the last time he led troops to Wutuo Mountain to suppress bandits, it was An Shaojie who suggested that instead of sending city guards, he would use temporarily recruited soldiers, and he used the method of agitation to force himself to lead troops to suppress bandits, and finally returned defeated.

"An Shaojie must have known that you are a master monk from Jijiazhuang, and he was afraid that you and I would be a threat to him if you got close, so he sent Liu Xian and Mu Yan to ask for guilt and invitation, a scum in a nest of snakes and rats, I don't know how many unseemly things I have done in the past few years. An Shaowen's words made Jiang Hua understand why An Shaowen had to use a strategy to help him get out before, instead of forcibly taking himself away with his identity as the son of the city lord, An Shaowen still cared about a trace of brotherhood and didn't want to confront his eldest brother head-on.

Jiang Hua naturally rejected An Shaojie's invitation, no matter what position he had, he would not go, first, he was unwilling to intervene in this kind of right and wrong, and secondly, he and An Shaowen were friends no matter what they said, and it was impossible for him to go to the opponent of a friend. Liu Xian learned from Dong Sheng that Jiang Hua had a resolute attitude and could only leave in a huff. Jiang Hua stayed at An Shaowen's for another afternoon, and after hearing a lot of news, he also said goodbye and left to go back to the inn, An Shaowen did not stay, but made an appointment to visit Aoki City together on the second day.

Jiang Hua, who returned to the inn, didn't wait for his butt to sit firmly, and a few uninvited guests came, it was the eldest prince An Shaojie who took Liu Xian and Mu Yan to visit Jiang Hua in person.
