Chapter 178: The future is immeasurable
An Zheng looked at the broken black gun in his hand, and recalled the strange scene before. Ding Shengxia, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, disappeared like that, and was pulled into an unknown place by a hand stretched out from a book. An Zheng felt that the book was less like a simple container of space, more like an entrance to another place. And the owner of that hand is in another world.
When An Zheng returned to Fanggu City, the street where the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect was located had been completely blocked by soldiers. An Zheng knew that killing Ding Taichun would inevitably cause a huge change, but he didn't expect that the military department would make such a big move.
At least 600 soldiers cordoned off the avenue, and no pedestrians were allowed to pass. Within a radius of several miles, there were light cavalry patrolling on war horses. The most terrifying cavalry of Dayan is, of course, Tieliuhuo, but after all, the strength is limited. The one who really kills the enemy on the battlefield and hits the enemy the most is this light cavalry like the wind.
The light cavalry stationed in the imperial capital rotated every two years, and now this light cavalry was withdrawn from the battlefield in Eastern Xinjiang less than a year ago. The murderous aura on these light cavalry soldiers was still there, and even the sharpness and coldness in their eyes could make people feel uncomfortable. This kind of thing is very mysterious to say, and it seems to be just a description. But in fact, only those who have come into contact with those with murderous aura will understand that this kind of momentum really exists.
When the cavalry saw An Zheng, they all got out of the way, and no one stopped him from coming back, and no one asked anything. But there is a very complicated meaning in everyone's eyes when they look at An Zheng, and the most of them is admiration.
Entering the street where the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect was located, the soldiers guarding the street saw An Zheng and automatically separated to both sides. There was a captain who led the team and quietly gave a thumbs up to An Zheng when An Zheng walked past him. An Zheng smiled at him, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart. But now it seems that at least nothing should happen in the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect, the army of the military department has blocked the street, even if these soldiers are not cultivators, but no cultivator dares to attack the official army in broad daylight.
When he arrived outside the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect, An Zheng saw that Wang Kaitai and Fang Daozhi, the generals of the Ministry of War, were there. These two people are the direct commanders of the defenders of Fanggu City, and the fact that both of them are in the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect is enough to show that the military department attaches great importance to Anzheng. But An Zheng also knew very well that if something hadn't happened, even if the military department paid attention to him, it would have been impossible to mobilize the army on such a large scale.
Seeing An Zheng come back, Wang Kaitai, who had a straightforward temperament, strode over, and An Zheng judged from the smile on his face that this matter seemed to have taken a turn for the better.
"Are you back?
Wang Kaitai asked such a sentence, which made An Zheng a little incomprehensible.
"Huh?"
An Zheng sighed suspiciously, waiting for Wang Kaitai to explain. But Wang Kaitai strode over and slapped An Zheng on the shoulder: "Good guy, I secretly made such a big move and didn't say hello to the military department." Fortunately, Lord Shangshu's reaction is really admirable, and the soldiers and horses of the military department are mobilized quickly enough, otherwise I am afraid that you will not be able to bear this matter alone. But your courage really impresses me, where do ordinary people have the courage to resist a big man who has just been promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites?"
The more An Zheng listened, the more confused he became, and he said that there must be some misunderstanding here.
Qu Liuxi ran over and smiled apologetically at Wang Kaitai: "It's good for the general to talk later, I'll check the injury for An Zheng first, you also know that his serious injury has not healed." ”
Wang Kaitai nodded hurriedly: "Okay, well, as soon as I am happy, I will forget about An Zheng's injury." ”
Qu Liuxi pulled An Zheng to the side, and said in a low voice halfway: "Things seem to have changed a little, and it is especially beneficial to us." When General Wang came here just now, he said that our people from the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect sent a thing to the Ministry of War, which was evidence of corruption and bribery and secret dealings with Youguo in the Ministry of Rites over the years. After Chen Zaiyan, the lord of the military department, got this thing, he immediately rushed to Tianji Palace, and at the same time dispatched soldiers and horses to protect us. ”
"Is that someone you sent?"
Qu Liuxi asked.
An Zheng shook his head: "How could I have evidence that Ding mistakenly collaborated with the enemy. ”
Qu Liuxi said: "That's strange, I don't know who pretended to be someone from our Heavenly Apocalypse Sect who stopped Master Shangshu directly on the way and handed over the evidence to him." Then Lord Shangshu went directly to Tianji Palace to meet King Yan, and King Yan immediately ordered all the people in Ding Mi's family to be imprisoned. Ding Misao was killed on the way to the Splendid Palace, and it is said that it was the spy of Youguo who was afraid of exposing himself, so he got rid of Ding Mis. ”
The more An Zheng listened, the more strange it became, and he sorted out his words: "You mean...... Someone rushed to intercept Chen Zaiyan, who was about to enter the palace, after Ding Shengxia's provocation, and gave Chen Zaiyan evidence that Ding had mistakenly collaborated with the enemy. Then the Ministry of War took the opportunity to send troops to protect our Heavenly Apocalypse Sect, and also arrested Ding Miao's family. And Ding Miao died halfway through, and I don't know who killed him?"
Qu Liuxi nodded, and from An Zheng's puzzled eyes, he could see that this matter really had nothing to do with An Zheng.
"After Lord Chen Zaiyan entered the palace, he said to King Yan, it was you who found the evidence that Ding mistakenly collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and Ding mistakenly sent his two sons to bring people to kill you in order to protect himself, trying to kill people and kill people. ”
An Zheng frowned: "Who is behind us behind the scenes? It can't be the Ministry of War, if the Ministry of War had already had evidence of Ding mistakenly collaborating with the enemy, it would have already been taken out." will not wait until King Yan has just been promoted to the official of Ding Wei under the pressure of the Queen Mother, this matter is unreasonable. Of course, it can't be King Yan's arrangement, if it was King Yan, he wouldn't wait until now to start. ”
Qu Liuxi said: "I saw General Wang talking to you, and I was afraid that you would miss it, so I ran over." How's your injury?"
An Zheng shook his head: "It's okay, it's just a Ding Shengxia, and it's not enough to treat me well." Wang Kaitai and Fang Daozhi are on their side, you let the madman Qu deal with it first, and say that my injuries are aggravated, and you have to treat me. Let the fat man also pass, the fat man and General Wang are more familiar, and it is more convenient to speak. I have to go see Lao Huo first, there is something I need him to see. ”
Qu Liuxi hurriedly ran over to make arrangements, and An Zheng took the opportunity to return to his room. Not long after, Qu Liuxi and Lao Huo came together.
As soon as Lao Huo entered the door, An Zheng handed the broken black gun to Lao Huo: "The one I snatched from Ding Shengxia when I was fighting with him was broken by the bronze bell." I feel that this thing has an aura similar to that of a bronze bell, and it seems to be a magic weapon, and the bronze bell seems to have a natural hatred for this thing, and when they see each other, they pounce on it. ”
Lao Huo closed the door casually, took the black gun and looked at it: "That's right, this is a magic weapon." ”
An Zheng asked: "Lao Huo, how much do you know about the demon clan?"
Lao Huo shook his head: "I just have a little understanding, but I found it when someone came to the door and asked us to help repair a magic weapon when I was in Daxi." At the time, I didn't know anything about magic weapons, but I felt that it was very weird. Later, I consulted the ancient books and determined that it was a magic weapon. There is no clear record of when magic weapons appeared in ancient books, but it is rumored that in ancient times, some people went mad and fell into the devil because of hatred. I got a book of exercises in hell and created the demon race. In fact, the so-called demons are just people who practice different exercises. It's just that these people have become very strange, and they have a different style of doing things entirely. ”
Lao Huo said while carefully looking at the black gun in his hand: "Although I don't understand, it seems that the grade of this thing is not as good as the bronze bell, and it is common sense to be destroyed by the bronze bell." In fact, according to the development of magic weapons, magic weapons should be similar. The magic weapons that have been passed down from ancient times to the present day, even if they were just ordinary things at that time, white or red, their power cannot be underestimated after today. The easiest way to distinguish is to look at the material, generally speaking, the magic tools of the ancient period, most of them are bronze. ”
An Zheng nodded: "So, the bronze bell is a magic weapon in ancient times." And this black spear was made later, so it is inferior to the bell in grade and power. ”
Lao Huo said: "I'm thinking, it is recorded in ancient books that the demon clan fought with the cultivators back then, trying to destroy the cultivators. But later, the human cultivators united and defeated the demons, and the demons disappeared. There hasn't been a word about the demons for thousands of years, so I suspected it was just a myth. It wasn't until I saw the magic weapon that I was sure that the demon really existed. ”
"But there are only magic weapons and no people who practice magic skills, so I think the people who practiced magic skills in the first place may have died. Now it seems that this black gun has existed for no more than a hundred years...... In other words, there have always been people who practice demonic skills. ”
An Zheng snorted: "You keep this thing first, maybe you can find something, I have to go out to deal with the people of the military department, maybe someone from the Tianji Palace will come over in a while." ”
As he was talking, Du Slender ran over from a distance and shouted at the door: "An Zheng come out quickly, King Yan has sent someone." ”
An Zheng cleaned up and changed his clothes before going out. When I arrived at the door, the person I saw was An Chengli, the eunuch of Dongnuan Pavilion. An Chengli came over with a smile after seeing An Zheng, and hugged his fists when he was still far away: "Congratulations to the lord, you have made a great contribution." ”
Generally speaking, An Zheng's friends call him by his first name. People who are not very familiar with it call An Zheng Sect Master An. Only people in the court will be commensurate with their titles. An Zheng's title is a third-class chief letter, no food, no hereditary replacement.
An argued: "Where is the great achievement, it's just just the right time." ”
An Chengli said with a smile: "Others want to make such a big contribution, but what you just said is light." The king asked me to come over and see if you were seriously injured, if it was okay, come with me to Tianji Palace now. ”
An Zheng nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
An Zheng explained a few words, and then left the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect with An Chengli. In the carriage escorted by the forbidden army, An Chengli said with a smile: "The lord has made a great contribution this time, and the king is already thinking about how to reward you." Last time, the king planned to make you a marquis, but he was stopped by a group of courtiers, and he had no choice but to seal a third-class earl who was not hereditary. This time, the king's reward, I'm afraid that few people will dare to stop it anymore. ”
An Zhengyi said solemnly: "Serve the country, and don't dare to ask for any reward." ”
An Chengli snorted and laughed: "Your serious nonsense is really funny, there is no one else here, and the lord doesn't have to pretend to be so serious." Speaking of which, the king has gathered a lot of young talents in the past two years, and you are the only one who has attracted the king's attention. As a friend, I have to remind you that the more the king cares, the more you can't make mistakes. Today's incident has to be said that you have done a bit recklessly...... In the future, if you find someone collaborating with the enemy or something, especially those related to the Splendid Palace, it is better to inform them in advance. ”
An Zheng said: "I will definitely next time." ”
He said to himself that I don't know what's going on this time, what do I want to tell you?
An Chengli stretched: "Sir, you are only fifteen years old, right...... The future is immeasurable, the future is immeasurable. ”
