Chapter Ninety-Three: Lord Shang Shu Chen [Asking for a Monthly Pass]

An Zheng was already about to use the bronze bell the moment he sensed the danger, but he probably didn't even have the time and ability to summon the bell. The huge gap in the realm of the pen and the www.biquge.info is insurmountable most of the time.

"Let's go!"

An Zheng shouted towards Qu Liuxi and Gu Qianye, and then the surroundings fell into darkness. The devastating blow destroyed half of the army at the beginning, and the torches, lanterns, and candles lit up in that instant. It was also when An Zheng saw Gu Qianye and Qu Liuxi in the distance, and then he immediately shouted.

Gu Qianye lost his strength in an instant, but Qu Liuxi showed the calmest side at this moment. At the moment when the fire was about to be extinguished, she shouted to An Zheng to be careful, and then quickly left with Gu Qianye in her arms.

Not long after the two of them left, many masters of the military department gathered from all directions.

Yingyang General Wang Kaitai swept over from a distance and pushed forward with one palm: "Open!"

A magnificent gust of wind swept by, and it was strange to press down the scattered dust. This is a very unreasonable and unreasonable thing, the wind should have rolled up the dust, but the sky became clear after the wind. All the fly ash and dust were pressed to the ground by a strong force, and the view immediately became wide.

Wang Kaitai was the first to arrive, and then Fang Daozhi, who was also General Yingyang, was the fourth grade.

Wang Kaitai rushed to An Zheng's side first, while Fang Daozhi stood next to the dead old grandson. A moment later, a series of figures flew over, quickly standing in position, looking scattered, but forming an extremely smooth formation of offensive and defensive transformation.

"The inspector stayed behind, and the captain of Qianji searched around. ”

Wang Kaitai waved his hand, and the crowd around him immediately dispersed.

"What's going on?"

Wang Kaitai glanced back at Lao Sun's bloody corpse.

An Zheng shook his head: "I don't know exactly what happened, if my guess is correct, someone should have wanted to kill me, but it was blocked by Lao Sun and his apprentice Lu Kuan." At that time, Lu Kuan and I were drinking together, and when Lao Sun came in, he suddenly shouted to be careful. Then Lu Kuan died, and his head was pierced by a sharp weapon. Immediately after that, Lao Sun rushed out of the door to fight with people, and then the surrounding rooms collapsed. ”

Fang Dao squatted down and looked at Lao Sun's corpse: "I was directly suppressed to death by a very strong force, and all the meridian bones were shattered, so domineering power." ”

Wang Kaitai asked: "Lao Sun and Lu Kuan are dead, why do you think that the people who came here killed you?"

An Zheng shook his head: "Because I'm here." ”

This answer sounded a little out of bounds, but soon Wang Kaitai reacted: "Yes...... If the person who came was deliberately killing Lao Sun and Lu Kuan, there was no need to be today. General Fang and I had just rushed back from Lord Shangshu's mansion, and something happened before we entered the gate of the military department. ”

An Zheng: "Perhaps, it is precisely because I know that there will not be many people left behind in the military department tonight, so I will make a move today." ”

Wang Kaitai wanted to ask something, but two captains of Qianji in the distance quickly ran back, and these two people fell on one knee: "General, something happened...... Someone just came to report that at least four officials of our military department had died tonight, but the people who came to report from their families said that the deceased had committed suicide. ”

Wang Kaitai looked at Fang Daozhi, Fang Daozhi walked over and said with a stern face: "Is this someone going to kill the people of our military department when Lord Shangshu is going and everyone is in chaos?" ”

Wang Kaitai recalled the few people who committed suicide: "There is a Lang Zhong of the Wu Xuan Division and a Lang Zhong of the Qing Officials Division, both of whom are very important people in the military department. There are also two principals, one outsider. Although the latter two positions are not high, the location is important. ”

Fang Dao turned straight and looked in the direction of the palace: "Some people's faces are too ugly. ”

Wang Kaitai: "You mean ......?"

Fang Daozhi waved his hand: "Don't say it, it doesn't make sense." An Zheng, you come with me, Lao Wang, you take someone to clean up and see if there are any injured people who can be treated. ”

Wang Kaitai said: "There was only An Zheng alone in the prison of our military department, and the people in charge went to Shangshu Mansion to help, and the guards left here should only be Lao Sun and Lu Kuan, and there will be no other casualties." ”

He walked up to Fang Daozhi's side: "You mean, the people who came here are really here for Anzheng?"

Fang Daozhi nodded: "Regarding the matter of the Martial Academy, Lord Shilang took a lot of effort to calm down the people's grievances. But if the person concerned dies in the cell of our military department, no matter how sincere the squire is, the people will not believe that this matter has nothing to do with our military department. When the time comes, those who want to bring down the military department can also take the opportunity to make a fuss and say that we will kill people and kill people...... Looking at it now, I'm afraid that there is something hidden in Lord Shangshu's death. ”

Wang Kaitai's fists were clenched, and the killing intent in his eyes was highlighted: "This group of scum!"

Fang Daozhi patted him on the shoulder: "Hold on, we can't mess up by ourselves." An Zheng will follow me tonight, I don't believe anyone dares to do it again. You're in charge of other things in the military department, and ...... Invite the squire-squire back. ”

Wang Kaitai said: "But Lord Shangshu's family can't do without it." ”

Fang Daozhi shook his head: "If those people really reach the point of madness, Lord Shilang is afraid that it will not be safe." ”

Wang Kaitai immediately turned around: "Send a team of Qianji Lieutenants to follow me to Lord Shangshu's Mansion, and the others will continue to search." ”

Fang Dao pointed to a room that was still intact in the distance and said to An Zheng: "Let's go, follow me over there." ”

An Zheng silently followed Fang Dao and walked forward, but all he was thinking about was Chen Zaiyan. Is Chen Zaiyan the Empress Dowager's person? If so, he has a reason to kill Lord Shangshu. If he wasn't the Queen Mother's person, then Lord Shangshu's death might have nothing to do with him. Judging from Wang Kaitai and Fang Daozhi's reactions, they did not doubt Chen Zaiyan at all. But when An Zheng thought of the look in Chen Zaiyan's eyes before leaving, he always felt that he and Master Shangshu's death must be inextricably linked.

But there is no evidence, just a feeling.

Fang Daozhi led An Zheng into a room, the furnishings in the room were simple and simple, and there was not a single ornament except for the necessary furniture.

"Sit down. ”

Fang Daozhi lay down on the bed, the knife within his reach. It was a long knife without a scabbard, and in the dim light of the candlelight, it seemed to be alive like a babbling stream. Fang Daozhi said sit down and then didn't speak again, but rested with his head against the quilt and closed his eyes.

An Zheng sat down in a chair by the window, looking at the ruins outside and the already extra torches.

"Haven't experienced anything like this?"

Fang Daozhi suddenly asked.

An Zheng shook his head: "I have experienced, I am from the border city, although it is not the southeast frontier that has been fought all year round, but the border army has never been down-to-earth for a day." The relationship between us and Zhao Guo seems to be very harmonious on the surface, but in fact, there is constant friction in secret. On the border side, the border army of Zhao State had a hard time, and there was no way, so they changed into the clothes of ordinary people and pretended to be robbers to plunder the villages and towns of Yan State and the caravans that passed. ”

Fang Daozhi sneered: "Do you think that the border army of Zhao State had to do that because of the hardships of life?"

An Zheng slowly shook his head again: "Of course not, it was Zhao Guo's intention." Zhao Guo deliberately treated the border army harshly, so that the border army was in a state similar to a hungry wolf for a long time. In this way, the border army of Zhao would have to harass the villages and towns in the border cities of Yan and Zhuo. Zhao Guo is using this way to raise the murderous spirit of the border army, they will not let the border army and the border army of Yan State have a harmonious relationship, because it is too harmonious, in case there is a war between the two countries, the murderous spirit of the border army will be weak, and the enemy will hesitate to kill the enemy on the battlefield. ”

Fang Daozhi's eyes lit up: "You can also see it thoroughly, no wonder Master Shangshu has only seen you once and is full of praise for you." ”

An Zheng said: "It's not that I can see it thoroughly, the people in the border army can see it thoroughly, and there are many people in the court who can see it thoroughly, but the relationship with Zhao has to be maintained." The location of Yan is a bit awkward, with Zhuo to the west, Zhao to the southwest, Ba and Yong to the south, Youguo to the southeast, and Bohai to the northeast. In such a crack, if the relationship with the surrounding neighbors is not good, Yan Guo will not be able to survive for a long time. ”

Fang Daozhi said: "So this is the same as human life, you are surrounded by people, you have to maintain friendship with some people, but also maintain hostility with some people." But there is one thing that cannot be abandoned, and that is one's duty to be a human being. ”

An Zheng asked, "What is duty?"

Fang Daozhi replied: "It's a bit false to say that there is a clear distinction between good and evil, but this is really the most basic thing. ”

An Zheng looked back at Fang Daozhi, and then smiled helplessly: "The people in the officialdom say that there is a clear distinction between good and evil, which seems a little ridiculous. ”

Fang Daozhi stopped talking, and once again returned to his cold and somewhat arrogant appearance. His knife had been lying quietly beside him, like his best friend, his closest companion.

There was nothing to say all night, and at dawn, the inspector in charge of cleaning and guarding did not find the injured, and the dead were only Lao Sun and Lu Kuan. An Zheng sat by the window all night, watching the moon leave and watching the sun come.

I have to say that Chen Zaiyan is indeed a person who does things vigorously and resolutely, and when the genius was bright, a large number of craftsmen had already entered the military department and began to clean up the ruins. All around were guarded inspectors, and outside the military headquarters, the more murderous captain of Qianji patrolled back and forth. About half an hour after the craftsman arrived, a group of about 800 elite cavalry entered the military headquarters, all of whom were expressionless and exuded a cold air.

An Zheng could see at a glance that these cavalrymen had definitely fought on the battlefield.

An Zheng walked to the door and looked at the busy crowd outside, and Fang Daozhi behind him seemed to be really asleep. Under such circumstances, he was able to sleep.

Chen Zaiyan hurriedly walked outside under the protection of a team of Qianji captains, and when he saw An Zheng standing here, he hesitated for a moment and walked towards An Zheng.

Chen Zaiyan walked up to An Zheng and looked up and down, with a strange look in his eyes. Of course, An Zheng knew that Chen Zaiyan was a little suspicious of him, because Lao Sun and Lu Kuan were both Chen Zaiyan's people.

"It's okay if you're okay, just live in the military department these days, maybe there will be people who are not good for you. Some people want the military to collapse, but I will never allow that to happen. ”

He turned to leave: "I hope you don't be disappointed in the military department." ”

An Zheng never spoke, because he was afraid that he couldn't help but directly ask Chen Zaiyan, does Lord Shangshu's death have anything to do with you.

Chen Zaiyan stood up again after walking out for a while, and glanced back at An Zheng: "You prepare, the king may want to see you." ”

An Zheng nodded, still not saying a word.

Fang Daozhi didn't know when he got up, walked to the window and poured a glass of water to drink, and then said to himself in a strange tone: "Master Shangshu Chen...... Maybe the military department will become more pure in the future. ”

An Zheng looked at the purple second-grade official robe on Chen Zaiyan's body, and was stunned.
