Chapter 480 – I’m not gonna kill you.
An Zheng had defeated Nanming Lihuo, so his name would be even louder and louder in the Three Academies and even in the Great Western Jinling. In fact, although it had only been a few days, the outside world had already spread that a youth from Northern Yan had entered the Golden Ranking from the Second Courtyard to the First Court in a single day.
However, at this moment, an ordinary carriage slowly passed by on the street. The driver looked like an extremely ordinary old man. He didn’t know why, but the sunlight wasn’t too dazzling, but he was wearing a straw hat. He was dressed in ordinary grey cloth clothes, and on his feet waair of cloth shoes with a thousand layers. No matter how one looked at it, it was just an ordinary coachman. No one would care about such a carriage.
The carriage didn’t look that special. The carriage was made of wood, and one could see many of these carriages in any carriage market.
But inside the carriage, there was another world.
The carriage itself was a spatial artifact, but the interior of the carriage, which looked ordinary, was surprisingly large. There was an iron prison inside the carriage, and outside of it, there was actually a reception room. The iron prison was made up of 1080 iron rods. Although it looked normal, this iron prison was known as one of the toughest prisons in the world. There was only one person in the Iron Prison. When he was alive, he was one of the top ten people with the greatest power and prestige.
Fang Zheng.
The iron prison was very strong, strong to the point that even the current Fang Zheng was unable to do anything about it. If it was the Fang Zheng at his peak, he might not have been able to do it, but right now, he was only a broken soul, so no matter how strong he was, he was still only a broken soul.
Fang Zheng was the only one in the iron prison, but he actually had all the facilities. There were beds, tables and chairs, and even bookshelves. The shelves were filled with books and books.
Half a circle of chairs was placed outside the iron prison, facing the iron prison. There werotal of seven people sitting on the chairs.
The person sitting in the middle had the dignity of a king. Even if he didn’t say anything, just a look from him was enough to strike fear into the hearts of people. That was a natural temperament that no matter how many people tried to learn it, they wouldn’t necessarily learn it. Of course, he had also learned this kind of temperament before, but it was still a different story. He was the prince of the Great Xixi, and could be said to be above everyone else. Therefore, others could not learn his dignity and imposing aura, and his status was not high enough, so there was no way for him to learn it.
And he had learned this from his father, the Daxi Shenghuang who was revered as the world’s common master. But he also knew very well that he would never have the temperament that his father had.
If it was said that he had the Ruler’s Qi on him, then Chen Wunuo had the Emperor’s Qi.
His name was Chen Zhongqi, and was once Fang Zheng’s best friend. He was someone Fang Zheng thought of as a brother. Beside him, three people sat on the left side and three people sat on the right. The three from the left, the one closest to Chen Zhongqi, were all called Gu Jiuling, one of the nine chiefs. The person next to him was called Ning Ya Ting, and based on his identity, he should not be sitting here, but he was very special, special to the point that even Chen Zhongqi treated him with respect. On the chair furthest to the left from Chen Zhongqi was a woman who looked to be about thirty years of age. There were some wrinkles at the corner of her eyes, but she was still very beautiful. His surname was Jasmine.
Seated on the right, near Chen Zhongqi, was an old man. He was very old already, and his hair and beard were sparse, white, and curly. He gave off a gloomy feeling, as if he had always been in the shadows. He was inside the carriage right now, but even under the scorching sun, he still felt the same way. It was as if he was the shadow of someone.
This old man’s name was Zhan Yu.
To the right of the old man was a woman who did not look like a woman at all. She was at least two sizes bigger than the fish, more than two meters tall, and a lump of flesh on her chest was bigger than the head of the fish. There were more than three fish at her waist, so it shouldn’t broblem for her to store three fish in it. Maybe because of the heat, she was wearing only a bra, but it wasn’t lovely at all.
Her name is Flowery.
The one on the far right was a short man, very short. The four of them added up to about the same height as a flower. The man looked like a ball sitting there. If he stood up, he would at most look like a football. When you walk, it’s like a ball rolling. His neck could not be seen and his head seemed to be directly resting on his shoulder. It was still a little crooked, so it was unknown whether he did not put it properly or if he was going to hold his parents accountable.
His name was Timil.
The seven of them were facing Fang Zheng in the iron prison.
Fang Zheng did not look at the other six people, no matter how strong they were, they were nothing in his eyes. He was only looking at Chen Zhongqi, and even someone like Chen Zhongqi was flustered by his gaze. If it were not for the fact that there were six other experts sitting beside him, Chen Zhongqi would probably be enraged to the point of going crazy. Sometimes, when a person was mad, it was not necessarily because he was angry, but it was also because he was afraid.
“It looks like you want to tear me into pieces.”
Maybe it was because the atmosphere was a little awkward, Chen Zhongqi wanted to express his ease at the start. However, the six people beside him were all looking at Fang Zheng with rapt attention, and no one felt his humor.
Even though they knew that the current Fang Zheng was no longer the Fang Zheng at his peak, even though they were sure that this iron prison could not be broken by such a Fang Zheng. However, they still didn’t dare to lower their guard. None of them dared to do so. There was sucerson in this world. Even if you only thought of this person’s name, you would still be wary and would not dare to be careless. Without a doubt, Fang Zheng was such a person.
Everyone present was an expert amongst experts, so it was obvious what kind of situation Fang Zheng was in right now. However, no one dared to look down on him, not even the slightest bit.
Fang Zheng laughed coldly, this was the biggest mockery for Chen Zhongqi.
“Why did you send me to the palace?”
Fang Zheng asked after sneering.
Chen Zhongqi shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be relaxed as he said, “Perhaps it’s because royal father thinks that I’m the most reliable when it comes to working.”
Fang Zheng: “Actually, you know the answer yourself. It’s just that you don’t dare to admit it even if you don’t want to.”
Chen Zhongqi: “Why would I not dare to admit to it?”
“Why did you send me to the palace?”
Fang Zheng asked the same question again.
Chen Zhongqi remained silent and did not reply.
Fang Zheng sneered: “You don’t dare to say? Let me speak for you. Do you really think that His Majesty the Sacred Emperor doesn’t know that you’ve caused my death? Even if he didn’t know at the time, he would have known very soon. In this world, there was no one who could hide anything from him. As long as he wanted to investigate, there was nothing that he couldn’t find out. But if so, why doesn’t he punish you? Because you’re his son, that’s all. ”
Fang Zheng’s words were like a knife that stabbed into Chen Zhongqi’s heart. He could be as unmoving as a mountain in front of anyone, but not in front of Fang Zheng. In front of Fang Zheng, especially the Fang Zheng who should have already died, it was impossible for him to calm down.
“Do you know what he’s after?”
Fang Zheng asked Chen Zhongqi, but Chen Zhongqi did not answer.
Fang Zheng continued: “What Chen Wunuo pursues is to become the greatest Emperor, to become a Holy Lord. However, in the eyes of others, he was already a Saint Lord. He wanted to becomerfect Holy Lord, which meant that he had no time to spare. He wants to be a holy man who will never be criticized, so not only him, but all of you cannot be flawed. Once word got out that his son had caused the death of the head of Ming Fa Si, it would become a stain on him. If we were to talk about you in the future, the one that would be mentioned would definitely not be you, Chen Zhongqi, but one of Chen Wunuo’s sons. ”
He raised his finger and pointed towards Chen Zhongqi. “Chen Wunuo will leave his name forever, and you will at most be Chen Wunuo’s son. You won’t even be remembered by name in the future.”
“Shut up!”
Chen Zhongqi bellowed.
Fang Zheng laughed: “What, you got a sore spot from what I said? Since Chen Wunuo had requested for him to be flawless, then he could not let anything happen to his son. If his trusted aides were to spread the news and do something against the law, then in the future, he would say that Chen Wunuo did not use people properly. If his son broke the law, people would say that he had no children. Whether it is the wrong person or the lack of a godson, it is a disgrace to his reputation. ”
“So if he doesn’t kill you, he doesn’t punish you. If he does, there will be no flaws. At the very least, outsiders will not know and ordinary citizens will not know. Have you heard of the story of hiding one’s ears from the others? Chen Wunuo is more or less done. ”
The more Fang Zheng spoke, the more relaxed he became, and his tone was very calm: “However, I advise you to never touch upon that bottom line, that is the bottom line.”
Chen Zhongqi: “You’re jusrisoner now, and you think you’re the head of the Ming Fa Si?”
Fang Zheng shook his head. “I’m not even a prisoner, I’m just a dead person. I’m just curious. When are you going to do it? Chen Wunuo gave me to you for punishment, but it was very obvious that he wanted you to kill me. If you hand me over to someone else, they might not kill me. They would feel that the reason the Holy Emperor handed Fang Zheng over to them, was because he trusted them. They had to safely send this unknown Fang Zheng to the palace. ”
“As for you, you are the only person who will definitely make a move. Thus, he chose you.”
Fang Zheng walked forward a few steps, sticking close to the edge of the iron prison, and looked into Chen Zhongqi’s eyes: “Are you afraid?”
Chen Zhongqi took a deep breath and calmed himself down. At the very least, he couldn’t lose too much face in front of his own subordinates. In terms of momentum, he had long lost to An Zheng, but he could not lose his demeanor again.
“You should be right.”
Chen Zhongqi said: “This is the difference between you and me. You have done a lifetime worth of righteous deeds, but in the end, this is the result. I am the one who killed you, and I have killed quite a few people. However, as long as I do as you say and do not touch that bottom line, I will forever be alive and well. ”
Fang Zheng was not angry nor was he angry: “I understand you too well, you will die sooner or later. If you are able to hold back from touching that layer of bottom line, you are not Chen Zhongqi, so there is no need for you to design such a big scheme to kill me. ”
Chen Zhongqi suddenly laughed, “You are truly pitiful.”
Fang Zheng turned his head to the side and looked at him, “You think you’re more pitiful than me?”
Chen Zhongqi stood up and walked out of the iron prison, there were only a few iron rods separating the two of them. He looked into Fang Zheng’s eyes, and Fang Zheng also looked into his eyes.
“I’m pitiful.”
Chen Zhongqi said: “In your opinion, I’m just pitiful. It’s just that you think that arince, I’ll never be able to become a Holy Emperor, because I can’t live past my own father, right? That’s what you’ve always thought of as my misery, yes, of course you’re right. It’s not just me, my brothers all thought so. They all felt sorry for themselves. But because we knew from the beginning that we were pitiful, we were in a good mood. ”
“You’re different, you’re really pitiful.”
He looked into Fang Zheng’s eyes. “You’re so pitiful, even now, you still don’t know who it was that wanted to kill you. “Pitiful to the point where I still have illusions.”
“What do you want to say?!”
Fang Zheng asked.
Chen Zhongqi sighed: “You still don’t understand? It was never me who killed you … Never. ”
In an instant, Fang Zheng’s face turned pale white.
