Chapter 658 – The eve of revenge
Just as An Zheng was about to rush towards the small village, a white light flashed and rushed to the other side of Sanjiang Estuary. As the two passed by each other, An Zheng warned them to be careful. The two exchanged words, and then, both of them rushed out.
Who else could it be other than Chen Shaobai?
Chen Shaobai’s body moved as fast as lightning, and lightly tapped on one of the nine tailed Snow Demon’s head. That Snow Demon was at least a few hundred meters tall, and its appearance made one’s scalp tingle. Chen Shaobai tapped the Snow Demon who gave a cry filled with dissatisfaction. However, Chen Shaobai’s speed was extremely fast. In a flash, he had already arrived at the other side of the Three Rivers Estuary.
On the other side of the levee, the village was a little farther away, but the terrain was steeper here, so the water flow was faster. Chen Shaobai summoned out the black sickle in mid air, and at the same time, slashed down with both of his hands.
A crescent-shaped black shadow hacked out, creating a deep trench in the ground. The water that overflowed the dike poured into the deep ditch, and then flowed out horizontally along the deep ditch.
On the side of the dike,’s body was shrouded in purple light as dozens of Holy Fish Scale s flew out and grew larger in the wind. They were like a wall that fell from the sky and surrounded the village. Just as the Holy Fish Scale formed a wall outside the village, the flood arrived. It rammed into the wall and split into two sides.
An Zheng pressed his hands down, “Stop!”
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A cloud of dust rose up into the air and floated into the air within a thousand meter radius. Ripples visible to the naked eye spread out in all directions aurricane swept across. Following the might of this palm strike, the flood was actually forced into the ground.
The two men saved two villages and then returned to the embankment to look at each other.
On the other side of the river, the waves soared as the stone statue flipped over.
Chen Zhongxu’s face turned ashen. He had just said that the appearance of the stone statue was a great fortune, but as soon as he said that, the stone statue fell down. He snorted coldly and left, leaving behind the Left Sword Spirit and Huangfu Qing who looked terrified.
Of course, this stone statue needed to be salvaged, but if it were to sink into the river, it would be even more difficult to salvage it.
An Zheng and Chen Shaobai gathered together, looking at the river which had been thrown into a mess, they couldn’t help but shake their heads. Chen Shaobai sighed: “I wonder how did you make such a big thing, who would be so bored to make such a big sculpture?”
An Zheng: “Your ancestor.”
Chen Shaobai: “Your ancestor!”
After saying that, he was stunned for a moment. “F * ck …” “You mean?”
An Zheng nodded, and the two walked back together. An Zheng recounted the situation regarding the stone statue, and Chen Shaobai grinned: “It sounds more like you, your ancestor, but why did you steal away all of my ancestor’s inheritance … I’ll tell you this can’t be solved without a barbecue. ”
An Zheng: “If you say it’s just a few meals, then a few meals. I also did not expect to discover this thing … However, it’s still my fault. If it wasn’t for the commotion caused when I was breaking through, I probably wouldn’t have been discovered. ”
Chen Shaobai was unconcerned: “It’s just a statue, haven’t you discovered our clan’s ancestor? He’s so narcissistic that there’s no other way, if there’s nothing else, you can just create a statue for yourself … Even though it’ity, being worshipped by others is a great honor to him. ”
An Zheng suddenly thought of a problem: “Chen Wunuo, is it really you grandpa?”
Chen Shaobai looked left and right, and sighed: “It’s all in the past now, I am not willing to mention it, and I don’t dare to ask too much. Maybe only the two of them knew what had happened between him and Chen Wunuo. However, what’s strange is that there isn’t even a hint of information that’s related to my father. The only reliable piece of information is that many years ago, before Chen Wunuo even succeeded the throne, the Chen family lost two princes due to an accident. ”
Chen Shaobai shrugged his shoulders: “I wonder which one of you is my father.”
This was Chen Shaobai’s family matter, so he could not ask.
“In other words, the reason your Chen family is so powerful is actually related to your status as a descendant of Purple Ivy. It is precisely because you are Purple Ivy’s descendants that the Chen family’s bloodline power is strong. I remember that from ancient times until now, the Chen Clan has never declined. Regardless of whether it was the Spring and Autumn War, or the Five Heroes contending for hegemony in the future, after the great Zhou Dynasty’s rise to prominence, the Chen Clan still held a heavy share of power amongst them. During the chaotic war of Spring and Autumn, the Chen family once occupied the Central Plains. Later on, the Chen Clan established the Great Chu, one of the contending for hegemony. The rise of the Great Zhou has caused the destruction of the Great Chu, but the Chen family has an extremely high status within the Great Zhou, and even the Great Zhou Sacred Emperor does not dare to provoke them. ”
Chen Shaobai said: “I have also thought about this problem. With the Old Ancestor’s powerful physique, even if the next generation were to be less than what they would have been like, they would not all fall.”
After the two of them walked for a while, they met the soldier who came to look for them. The prince asked An Zheng to come over right now. An Zheng told Chen Shaobai to go back and protect Da Ta Ye, he had a feeling that something bad was going to happen in the next two days.
After arriving at Chen Zhongxu’s camp, the feeling in An Zheng’s heart grew more and more intense.
After walking into Chen Zhongxu’s study, An Zheng saw that Chen Zhongxu’s face was a little unfriendly as he sat there. The people who just walked out of the study was obviously scolded, and their heads were all lowered. After An Zheng entered, Chen Zhongxu’s expression slightly calmed down, and pointed to the chair opposite him. “Sit and speak.”
An Zheng did not reject and sat opposite of Chen Zhongxu. Chen Zhongxu and the other servants waved goodbye after serving tea to An Zheng, signaling them to leave. Only Chen Zhongxu and An Zheng were left in the room, the atmosphere was a little solemn.
“I have to thank you for today’s matter.”
Chen Zhongxu remained silent for a while, before saying: “I have ovehousand cultivators, countless experts in the army, and an army of hundreds of thousands. But at that time, there were only two people who knew what to do. One was you and the other was your friend. To be honest, that stone statue was only a stone statue. I had my men fish it out, what was its purpose? It’s to show Da Xi’s military might, and also to find a good omen for the war. ”
“But that group of trash.”
Chen Zhongxu snorted, raising his teacup and taking a sip, barely able to calm himself down: “The stone statue is just a stunt, but if it really was washed away by the waves in the villages on both sides, and the citizens died, then the officials’ reports would fly like snowflakes to the Jinling’s Hao An Palace and pile up on my father’s table. I am a prince, so I have to be more careful when doing things, especially before I depart … Fortunately, the two of you managed to prevent such a disaster, and did a very good job. ”
An Zheng replied: “It is also only a matter of duty for cultivators.”
Chen Zhongxu: “Many people do not know what a cultivator’s role is, especially a cultivator who has entered the imperial government … Great waves, unexpectedly everyone came to my side to protect me, could it be that I can be killed by just a wave? Idiots, a bunch of idiots! How many people in the court are watching me now, hoping I’ll make a mistake. ”
An Zheng asked: “What does Your Highness mean?”
Chen Zhongxu said, “Today, after digging out the stone statue, he said that it was an object made from nature, and casually carved a few words on it. As long as the citizens think that it was a great fortune, the Chen Family’s Da Xi Empire would be fine for thousands of years.”
“But you can’t wait. You have to go first. There are a lot of people around me, and I don’t trust many. Huangfu Haoyue and Mr. Xie are going to stay and accompany me until Left Swordhall returns. Didn’t you say you wanted to be the pioneer officer? Fine, I’ll give you 30,000 soldiers and a hundred warships to head south. The army will follow, you must first stabilize Fire Beacon City, and when I get there, I will kill all of those villains. ”
An Zheng remained silent for a while, before saying: “I am not someone of the imperial government, leading a soldier is against the laws of the Da Xi Empire. If I were to be used as an example by someone, it would be hard for me to explain myself to His Majesty. “Why don’t you give me five hundred men, I don’t want the cultivators that I’ve recruited, I want the most elite cultivators in the army, give me five hundred people, and I’ll go destroy Fire Beacon City.”
“Five hundred?!”
Chen Zhongxu laughed: “Are you joking, there are oveundred thousand criminals in Fire Beacon City, and there are many experts, even if I gave you 500 elite soldiers, how could you rely on five hundred people to destroy Fire Beacon City?”
An Zheng: “That depends on who the Duke gave me the five hundred people are … I heard that His Majesty the Sacred Emperor had assigned one thousand five hundred men to be his personal guards in the Jinling … Since the Emperor had given half of the Three Thousand Hands to the Prince, it was clear how much importance he placed on the Prince. I don’t dare to leave, so please give me five hundred. ”
The most battle-loving person in the Great Xi Empire, Three Thousand Hins.
Chen Zhongxu was startled for a moment, and then, he laughed out loud. “You, don’t seem like a Taoist from the other side of the square … Alright, I’ll give you five hundred Hempens. Even though I admire you, but if you were to destroy those five hundred tigers in Fire Beacon City, I will still kill you. ”
An Zheng said: “My neck is too tough, it’s not easy to cut.”
He stood up and said his goodbyes. After walking a few steps, he asked, “Left Swordhall has come back to be vice commander-in-chief. Does Your Highness not think that there will be any problems?”
Chen Zhongxu shook his head: “That is royal father’s sacred order, who can resist?”
An Zheng was clearer than anyone else that the and the summoner of the inner world were inextricably linked, and their relationship was even closer. Wasn’t Chen Wunuo afraid that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the southwest would be completely wiped out if the Left Swordhall was used as a vice commander-in-chief?
However, An Zheng didn’t have time to think about it too much. He took five hundred of Hu Ben’s men and left Hongyuan City. After that, he quietly returned to the Left to inquire about the situation.
An Zheng had always suspected that there was more than one Left Swordhall that had participated in the battle at the State of Yan. The best choice for Chen Zhongqi was to use the people from the Left. In order to kill them in one move, the people from Left would definitely go all out.
That night, An Zheng and Chen Shaobai had a discussion, before the sky brightened, they had already brought five hundred tigers down the mountain.
All five hundred of them were dressed in heavy armors, and all of them looked magnificent. The horses they rode were not ordinary horses, but the Fire Dragon Horses. The long hair on the neck of the Fire Dragon Horse was an illusory flame. If released, it could kill the enemy. Each of them carried three weapons: long lance, heavy sword, and crossbow.
Five hundred cavalrymen galloped down from the south, their imposing auras likainbow.
Following behind him was an old carriage that squeaked and squeaked. It seemed a little bit cute …
That night, the Left Swordhall returned with four people whose identities were unknown.
