Chapter 485 – You go first
When An Zheng woke up, four days later, he was already at the western border of the Da Xi Empire. It had to be said that Chen Shaobai’s chariot was ridiculously fast, it only took him a few days to go from the Jinling of the Great Western Region to the borders of the Great Western Region. When he woke up, the chariot was already gone. Jian San took the treasures Chen Shaobai had found and returned to the Mount Cang Man.
Maybe the pill that Cen An had given An Zheng was very effective, or maybe An Zheng’s mental state was already close to collapse, so after taking the pill, his mental state had sealed off, and she only regained consciousness after she had completely recovered.
An Zheng opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings. He discovered that he was lying on a tall slope of the grassland, and when he sat up, he could see a wide and shocking river in the distance. The river flowed east-west. It seemed to be several miles wide, with many fishing boats on the surface. Perhaps this was the broadest and calmest place in the waters of this large river. On both sides of the river were green grasslands, making the scenery exceptionally beautiful.
An Zheng felt his head ache, he couldn’t remember what had happened. But the memories quickly returned, and An Zheng’s head hurt even more.
“He didn’t die?”
Chen Shaobai sat on top of a huge boulder, looking at the boats coming and going above the river in the distance. Witiece of fur grass in his mouth, he glanced at An Zheng with a sideways glance: “What a pity, we waited for so long, and still didn’t die.”
An Zheng rubbed his temples: “How are they?”
“They didn’t die either, but you did, and the other half of you did.”
Chen Shaobai looked to be rejoicing in An Zheng’s misfortune, but the relief and relaxation in his eyes when he saw that An Zheng had woken up was still evident. This guy’s mouth was never virtuous. Sometimes, he could even be harsh with his words.
“That’s good.”
An Zheng let out a long sigh of relief, “Did you bring me out?”
Chen Shaobai: “Mn, I even took the opportunity to sully you while you were unconscious. From today onwards, you are my man. I will be responsible for you.”
An Zheng: “Can you be more serious?”
Chen Shaobai shrugged and spat out the furry grass in his mouth, “Tell me, why did you come here this time? Actually, you already know that when you come to the Great Xixi, even if you meet the legendary Holy Emperor, you won’t be able to change anything. How could sucerson change himself for the sake of others? ”
“It’s not like there won’t be a chance. I understand Chen Wunuo.”
An Zheng felt that his entire body was in pain, so he couldn’t help but seriously consider whether or not this bastard Chen Shaobai had really done something that would anger humans and gods alike. Of course, this was only to let himself relax. These few days, he had collapsed too quickly. His entire body was like a clockwork man, never stopping for a moment. However, due to the pain, his mind became clearer.
“He is a man who values his reputation above all else.”
An Zheng tried to stretch his body before lifting up half of his buttocks and touching them: “It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Chen Shaobai, “Scram …”
“If any official told him not to punish State of Yan, he would absolutely not accept it. However, if I bring this matter up to him in a public place as an ordinary citizen of State of Yan, he would really pretend to seriously consider it, and then, with half the possibility of him taking back the decision to punish State of Yan. Because he needs people to see his benevolent side at all times and to live up to his image as the world’s common master. ”
Chen Shaobai: “You make it sound like you really know him very well. If I’m not wrong, he will certainly show his kind side in front of everyone and get praised by the people. He will even get the news spread out on purpose. But in reality, it was impossible … He promised you face to face, and he will be greatly praised. However, once he returns to the Imperial Palace, he will absolutely not truly do so by decree. ”
“It’s the same for the people of Da Xi Empire, including the people of other countries. They will only see his benevolent side and won’t really ask. In the end, he lifted the punishment on the State of Yan?”
Chen Shaobai coldly snorted, “It’s just a very ordinary trick, but you actually have such fantasies. I really don’t know how someone like you could reach sucigh position in your previous life.”
An Zheng shook his head: “At first, I thought it was because of my own hard work, but now I don’t think so. In retrospect, there are a lot of people who work harder than me, but there are very few who can succeed. I don’t know why I was able to succeed in the first place. ”
Chen Shaobai: “Idiot … The reason why you succeeded is because Chen Wunuo needed a person like you to become the benchmark for success. ”
“Perhaps …”
An Zheng laid down, and stared at the blue sky, lost in thought.
“No matter what, Da Xi, you can’t stay here any longer. Who is that Cen Jiaoxi to you? “Why should I care so much about you?”
An Zheng thought for a while before replying: “Actually, I’m not very familiar with it. Every time Daxi Shenghuang goes to Three Academies to meet the disciples on the Purple List, I will accompany him. And every time, I was the one who taught in his place. I don’t really remember any interactions I had with her, and most of the time I would focus on the disciples below. Could she have received me at the time? or what did you hear from me down there? ”
Chen Shaobai shook his head: “It’s not like that... Looks like he’s very familiar with you, or maybe she’s very familiar with you. ”
An Zheng thought hard before he suddenly thought of something, “Oh … Every time Chen Wunuo went to Three Academies, he would go to the canteen to eat with the disciples. I seem to remember her figure appearing every single time, but he was always at the back rather far away from me. I always thought that she was someone from the canteen … Maybe it’s because something happened, something went wrong with my memory. ”
An Zheng could not help but feel vexed, how could he have forgotten about that person?
Actually, it wasn’t that he forgot, but that he really didn’t feel anything for women in his previous life. Every time Chen Wunuo went to the cafeteria to eat, Cen An was actually there. Every time he would sit at the same table with An Zheng and the others. Because Chen Wunuo ate alone, he only made a gesture, and the food was also cooked separately. Every single time, she would bring the dishes up to Chen Wunuo, and then sit down to eat at An Zheng’s place.
In his memory, there was a very quiet looking woman. Her impression of him was completely different from before.
When An Zheng thought back to it now, he realized that there might be some sort of relationship between Cen An and Cen An. Otherwise, why would she be in charge of serving the dishes every time? Furthermore, every single hour that the Holy Emperor personally taught the disciples that were going to take place of the plan was spent with An Zheng. Where did Chen Wunuo go in that hour?
An Zheng would never have thought of this before, because it wasn’roblem in his opinion. Now that he thought about it, these were all problems.
“Let’s go.”
Chen Shaobai stood up: “You have already slept on this grass for an entire day, you should have had enough rest by now. Cen Jiaoxi said that the lightning spirit energy in your body is not pure, you can continue to refine it in the Western Region’s Great Thunder Lake Temple. He also said that your fate soul is incomplete and that problems will occur sooner or later, so he told you to find your old lover, Xu Meidai, in the car of the Peacock Palace of Qi Kingdom and borrow the Peacock Palace’s great calendar to help you suppress your soul. ”
An Zheng frowned: “I don’t want to go.”
He glanced at Chen Shaobai: “I’ve slept on the grass for an entire day and night, and you actually don’t want to find me a blanket or something to cover me with?”
Chen Shaobai shrugged his shoulders, “Do I have to find you a sister?”
An Zheng stood up, and stretched his body as he looked at the great river in the distance and asked: “Where are we?”
Chen Shaobai: “The western border of the Da Xi Empire. If we head west, we will reach the southeastern border of the State of Xi Qiang. We are currently nervous. However, Western Qiang was not an idiot. Naturally, he did not dare to challenge Da Xi directly. Therefore, it seems like Da Xi had launched a war against the Buddhist Kingdoms in the Western Regions just to fight for the immortal palace. However, Da Xi’s power did not directly interfere.
“The State of Qiang has faked the presence of oveundred thousand troops at the southeastern border, with the majority of its elites gathering at the border of the State of Zhao. If they were to fight … Hehe … Just a hundred thousand soldiers could stop the great army of Da Xi? This is already the border. Look at the people of Da Xi city, they are still living happily. Therefore, don’t even think about it. Daxi Shenghuang would never let the battlefield be moved to the Da Xi family’s doorstep for the sake of a mere State of Yan. ”
An Zheng: “That may not be so. Right now, it’s just the Golden Crown and Da Xi trying to test each other out. Whether it was the West Qiang or the State of Zhao, both were cannon fodder. If the State of Yan were to get involved, he would be cannon fodder too. The Inside the Immortal Palace must have some secret, but this secret had not been discovered yet. Once they are discovered, Golden Crown and Da Xi will retract their nonchalant attitude and pounce on them like mad dogs. ”
Chen Shaobai: “All of this has nothing to do with me. I’m not someone who worries about the country and the people’s hearts towards the world.”
The two of them walked down the slope as they talked, their feet touching the soft grass as if they were treading on a carpet. An Zheng was a little more at ease now that he knew that nothing had happened to the people of Ming Fa Si. As for Fang Zheng’s death … An Zheng’s feelings could only be understood by himself.
“From here, you can travel by boat all the way to the west, and you will be able to leave the borders of the Da Xi Empire. However, if they were to take a boat, there would be a water barrier at the border crossing. If you are walking, you can go around the checkpoint from here to the northwest. In any case, you and I are not afraid of any ferocious beasts in the mountains. ”
As Chen Shaobai finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed. Because he saw An Zheng standing there without moving, and looked towards the distance as if he was in a daze.
He followed An Zheng’s gaze and saw a small boat by the river. An old fisherman wearing a straw hat and raincoat was fishing in the boat. His head was lowered as he stared at the water. He was originally an ordinary person, but for some reason, An Zheng seemed to have changed. It felt like … He was an arrow that had been nailed to the top of his hard body skill. He could shoot it out at any moment.
“You go first.”
An Zheng looked at the small boat and said: “No matter what happens, do not come over. Let’s go!”
Chen Shaobai: “What do you mean?”
“Let’s go now!”
An Zheng shouted, his voice turning hoarse.
