Chapter 640 – Entering with a swagger
An Zheng just sat there quietly, watching the person who looked like a grandmaster slap his own mouth. Looking at that person’s face which was already bloody red, the scene of the Zhao Family’s seven hundred tragic deaths uncontrollably appeared in An Zheng’s mind.
Thinking about the big house at the foot of the mountain that was actually built in the Zhao Family’s burial ground of over seven hundred corpses, one could imagine how vicious and unimaginable it was.
An Zheng did not say that he would stop, because he knew thaigher level member of the Su Family would arrive very soon. The Su Family would not send people over soon after receiving the news. They knew how to deal with the upper echelons, so they had to wait for An Zheng to vent his anger before appearing again.
If the Grand Master in front of him who had slapped his own mouth had some status, then the Su Clan’s people would arrive very soon.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, when the Grand Master had already numbed himself to numbness and was mechanically making his move, another group of people hurried over from afar.
The person in the lead appeared to be around forty years old, had a rather sturdy figure and a beard. From the looks of it, he should be someone who could make decisions in the Su Clan.
“I am Su Ran. I did not know that the Lord Messenger had arrived. Sir, I beg for your forgiveness.”
The man ran to An Zheng and pretended to be panting as he spoke, he bent down and cupped his fists.
An Zheng felt it was funny. The Su Family’s dignified second master, a devil who easily killed people, seemed like his cultivation was not low. He would be able to breathe after running a few steps.
“Second Master Su.”
An Zheng said faintly: “Your Su Family is really too big. What, did you run over here to catch your breath?”
Seeing An Zheng being so unmoving like this, Su Ran did not dare doubt An Zheng’s identity even more. Although he knew that there were two patron envoys in the sanctuary, he had never seen them before. The person who was the head of the division in the sanctuary was his third brother, and he could be considered one of the more low-key members of the Su Clan. But it was precisely because of this that Su Mitigating his younger brother’s relationship was not good. He often complained about why his family’s Old Master had sent his third brother to be an official in the capital, not him.
An Zheng had already inquired about the name of the Head of the Guards, Su Mo.
Su Kan laughed and said with a smile, “Master, why didn’t you inform me before you came. Tell my third brother to greet you in advance, so we can send someone to pick you up. ”
An Zheng shook his head. “There have been too many things happening in the Sacred Hall recently. Chief Su Mo has been sent out to do public business.
Su Ku smiled and apologized again. Then, he kicked the Grand Master who was still mechanically slapping him away, “Suppressing Lord, be merciful. Hurry up and f * ck off!”
Only then did the man react, covering his face as he scrambled to run.
Su Rou lowered her head and said, “My lord, please don’t be angry. It’s all because of my lack of discipline. There are too many things to do at home, and these servants are too lazy to do anything. They don’t know what’s important and what’s urgent, and most of all they have no discernment. ”
An Zheng said: “What do you use people like them?”
He stood up and casually dusted off the dust on his body, “I originally came south for personal reasons, but I coincidentally met with some matters on the way. For the sake of serving the Prince, I came to see your grandfather, but it’s the same for me as well.”
He raised his head and looked at Su Ku, “Let me ask you, is your Su Clan in contact with some people of untold origins?”
Su Kan’s expression changed. With a slightly nervous smile, he said, “Sir’s words are a bit incomprehensible. The Su Clan’s business is not bad, and they also have contacts with a lot of people. I just don’t know which one sir is talking about.”
An Zheng’s expression became serious, “The people under the prince, each of you carry out your duties, there should not be any interaction between the two of us. Like I said, the reason I came was because I accidentally found out something related to your Su Clan, and it concerned life and death. If you think it’s nothing, then forget it. ”
He turned around and left. Su Nan chased after him with a smile, “Please don’t be angry, my lord. I only manage some business in the Su Family. My knowledge is limited. “Why don’t you just follow me home, my big brother is rushing back right now, and everything in the family is decided by him, he knows a lot more than I do.”
An Zheng said: “No need, even though you said that your brother is in charge of the family’s affairs, from what I know, the one who can make the decision is still your old master. When you go back, tell your father that the matter you are sitting on has already alarmed the Holy See. A few days ago, the reason why the Duke of Qin, Chen Zhongxu, went to the south, was because you heard some news regarding that matter.
“Among the army to the south, there are many talented people from the Star Observation Pavilion that the Sacred Emperor personally chose. If they were to find out …” Chen Zhongxu did not have any deep feelings for the Duke. In order to replace the Duke’s current position, he could do anything. If you still have those things in your house, get them out of here. ”
After saying that, An Zheng turned and left. No matter how Su Nan tried to stop his, it was useless. Just as An Zheng was about to reach the city gate, a small sedan chair flew out from the city and landed in front of him in a blink of an eye.
The curtain on the palanquin floated up by itself, and An Zheng saw an old man with a white beard that reached his chest sitting inside. The old man was wearing a royal blue robe and it was impossible to tell his age. After the old man was seventy or eighty years old, he basically hadn’t changed much.
“Lord Protector, why must you be so anxious? If word of this gets out, people will laugh at our Su family for not knowing how to treat guests.”
The old man smiled and cupped his fists: “I am Su Shanci, I hope that Senior can rest at home.”
An Zheng frowned slightly, “What, each of your Su Family’s status is higher than the last. Are you trying to test me?”
Even though Su Shanci was old, he still looked to be in good spirits. Especially the vertical eyebrows on his face, he still looked to be unyielding. This person’s eyes were quite sharp. He was the type of person who had gone through too much trouble.
“My lord, you must be joking. I have been living in the backyard for a long time, so my family wouldn’t disturb me. I had just found out that my lord had arrived at the Great Ning Manor, so I rushed over to greet him.” “I am unable to teach my son a lesson, and have angered the lord. I hope that the lord will not take offense to it.”
An Zheng laughed, “When the noble young master arrived, he said that the opponent’s teaching was poor. When you arrived, you said you couldn’t teach your son well. Your Su Family members are all unsuitable to be taught. I think that Prince must have used the wrong person. ”
Su Shanci’s eyes flashed with a sharp look, but he quickly smiled and said: “Master is truly humorous, this old man will apologize for them. My son, Su Mo, once said that the two envoys were rather supportive of him. “Not long ago, I had my son bring a gift. I wonder if Lord received it.”
An Zheng frowned slightly: “What gift? “Never seen him before.”
Su Shanci immediately laughed: “Look at my memory, it’s impossible for people to get old, I just remembered that the gift is still at home … I actually forgot to bring it for my son. ”
He made a gesture of invitation and said, “Please come home, my lord. I believe you must be tired from coming here. I can’t get off the palanquin to apologize to you … Su’er, come over here and kowtow in apology to the lord! ”
Su Kan was stunned for a moment. “Me?” Kowtow? ”
Su Shanci: “Mhm?”
Su Ku looked at his father’s expression. After a moment of hesitation, he kneeled down and said, “Su Ku is apologizing to the lord!”
An Zheng immediately laughed, “We’re all family, and we’re all working for the Duke, why would we treat you like this?”
He walked over to Su Rou and helped her up as he smiled. “Since it’s hard to refuse, then I’ll go with the master.”
Su Ku stood up with an ugly expression on his face.
An Zheng followed them as they walked towards the city. At this time, there was already not a single person on the road. An Zheng laughed coldly in his heart, thinking that what the carriage driver said was true, the Su Family was truly tyrannical, and truly grand. His son wanted to clean the street, and so did his grandfather. Just by saying a few words, the Su Clan was able to block off both sides of the street. The Su Clan’s strength truly could not be underestimated.
When they arrived outside the Su Palace, An Zheng’s footsteps paused, and he took a look at that imposing aura which caused everyone to be shocked. It was clear that the construction of the courtyard was against the rules. His house had only produced a small Head of the Sanctuary. This courtyard was even more imposing than a second-grade or third-grade official of the imperial court. The patterns and auspicious beasts engraved on it were clearly a little too excessive.
Seeing An Zheng standing still, Su Shanci, who was supported by Su Nan from the small sedan chair, laughed and said: “This is all because of a bit of kindness from the villagers. My Su family has done some good deeds in the local area, so when they built our house, the craftsmen had their own selfish thoughts and built it a little bigger.”
An Zheng laughed and said: “Then this craftsman, I’m afraid he isn’t repaying the kindness.”
After saying that, he walked in without hesitation. Su Shanci gave Su Kan a glance, and the latter left immediately. The two servants carried Su Shanci forward using a chair, it looked as though his legs were crippled.
“The Old Master’s legs?”
An Zheng asked.
Su Shanci said: “It’s been many years. When I was young, I was full of vigor and I always felt that if the martial arts world was big, there would always blace for me. In the end, I met an expert who broke both of my legs. If it had been treated previously, it would have been able to recover. But I refused... He had taught himself a lesson. If he achieved something in the future, he could become famous even if he was crippled. If I can’t, I won’t be able to accomplish anything even if my legs are healthy. ”
An Zheng nodded: “You actually saw through it.”
Su Shanci laughed: “Master, please, I have already prepared the wine, I hope master can help me.”
The moment An Zheng entered, the Heaven’s Eyes on him separated itself from his body, searching towards the courtyard. An Zheng and Su Shanci conversed as they walked forward. He noticed that Su Ku was walking quickly towards the backyard from the other side.
An Zheng’s mind moved, his Heaven’s Eye also followed Su Nan towards the direction.
Su Shanci did not seem to notice anything, and continued to chat with An Zheng. It was clear that he still did not trust An Zheng, so he had been probing his. Even though An Zheng was no longer a member of the Jinling, he still answered whatever that came his way.
Just as they were talking, An Zheng’s Sky Mu saw Su Kan walking quickly towards the backyard, and found a few people who were whispering something, those people immediately stood up and walked over to An Zheng. Those people were all … inner world’s summoner.
