Chapter 976 – Can’t go back
Chen Zhongxu did not seem to mind An Zheng’s words at all. His status was noble, and now that Chen Zhongqi was dead, he was the one who was favored out of all Chen Wunuo’s sons. A few days ago, he brought troops to pacify the traitors in the southern border. His achievements were illustrious. And now, he was transferred into an immortal palace, so one could imagine how much importance Chen Wunuo placed on him.
However, in front of An Zheng, he appeared to be very humble.
“That year, my father allowed you to be remodelled to cultivate with mister, so I called you mister. I even frequently went to secretly learn. What Mister didn’t know was that I was jealous of being taught by Mister when I was reborn. Unfortunately, he doesn’t treasure it at all. ”
Chen Zhongxu lowered his body and spoke with his head lowered, “At that time, I was thinking that there were a lot of people who wasted their fortuitous encounters in this world, but none of them were more pitiful than reconstructing Mr. Wasteland’s teachings. If I had followed Teacher in his cultivation back then, I would not have dared to slack off. ”
An Zheng said, “Then do you know why your father allowed Chen Shuang to follow me, and not you?”
Chen Zhongxu shook his head.
An Zheng laughed, “Actually, you know that you always hide yourself. You even feel that you hide yourself very well. But don’t forget, everything you’ve experienced was done by your father when he was fighting for the throne. Your little thoughts are too childish in his eyes. When your brothers met, they said that I was the most revered, not your father. At that time, he knew that you wererson who was good at hiding. And Chen Shuang had used his loudest voice to shout that I want to become the Sacred Emperor … At that time, your father was certain that he was the son who had the least qualifications to contend for the position of Sacred Emperor. That’s why he asked me to teach him how to reconstruct and cultivate, so that he can have more strength to protect himself when you two brothers fight in the future. ”
Chen Zhongxu raised his head, his expression had already calmed down a lot. But you don’t understand me... If I were to say that from the beginning to end, I did not have the intention to fight for the throne, I am afraid that no one in the world would believe me and Sir would not be able to escape from this fate. ”
An Zheng looked around: “Since you stopped me, you can ask whatever you want to, I’m in a hurry to leave.”
Chen Zhongxu stayed silent for a long time, suddenly clasped his hands together and bowed deeply, “Sir, please stay behind and help me.”
An Zheng frowned slightly: “Since you haven’t fought for the world and the heart of the Emperor, then why should I stay behind and help you? Stay by your side, in less than a month, all of the flies and dogs around you will disappear, and I cannot tolerate all of this, but arince, you still have to tolerate all of this, don’t you think? ”
Chen Zhongxu said: “Sir, I’ve thought of everything you’ve said. But now, I really need you … In those days, when he was still alive, Da Xi was flourishing, the people were at peace, the law was strict, and the world was full of evil spirits that didn’t dare to be impudent. After the death of her husband, Da Xi was thrown into disarray. Other than her teacher, there were also others who were plotting against her … Therefore, at that time, it was highly probable that the person who would be able to accomplish the most important thing in the entire world could only be Mister. ”
An Zheng: “This flattery makes my entire body feel comfortable, very good, very good.”
Chen Zhongxu replied: “The Da Xi Empire is currently in a mess, full of useless things to do. Mister has great intelligence and cultivation, if we were to use it to rebuild the order, how well would we be able to do?”
“Reestablish order?”
An Zheng walked a few steps forward, and looked straight into Chen Zhongxu’s eyes. “Your father is still here, so there is no possibility for us to restore order. As far as he was concerned, this world belonged to him alone. In his eyes, these billions of people were just his servants. Everyone says his country is clear, but he’s actually the one that’s the most unclear. ”
Chen Zhongxu became silent once again, and after a long while, said: “If mister is unwilling to stay, I hope that I can ask mister one thing … I have no desire to fight for the throne. To me, the throne is just the biggest rivet in the Chen family. This rivet is still there. “What I want to do is not to sit on that chair and admire the beauty of this land, but to becomerson who will consolidate this land.”
He looked at An Zheng: “Sir, which one do you think is more important? I am a man of ambition, but ambition lies not in the chair, but in the judgment of future generations. For the next century, if someone mentioned the name Chen Zhongxu, they would say, “The leader of the Fu Mansion will go down, and the people will be saved, water and fire.”
An Zheng took a deep breath, “When your brother Chen Zhongqi was present, he also thought the same way.”
Chen Zhongxu waved his hand: “No, that’s not what he thinks.”
Right now, the person An Zheng did not wish to interact with was someone from the Chen family, even though he had never hated Chen Zhongxu much, he also did not want to interact with him. The Chen family grew up in the bathhouse of rights, and was born with the Seven Apertures Mystical Heart. These people sounded very sincere, and every look in their eyes was expressed after careful deliberation. You wanted to hear from them that unless they were drugged.
“I will no longer participate in the matters of your Chen Clan in this lifetime.”
“Sir, this is not a matter of the Chen family, it is a matter of the world, it is a matter of the people.”
“What has it got to do with me?”
An Zheng said: “I don’t have that kind of ambition, and I also don’t have that kind of ability. Previously, I was unable to get rid of all the evil in the head seat of Ming Fa Si. Now, the only thing I can do is to do good deeds everyday … You’re telling me about the world, and you’re telling me about the people? ”
An Zheng shook his head: “I feel scared when your Chen people say this.”
Chen Zhongxu said: “I’m very sorry to say that you have great ambitions, but my ambitions and yours are actually exactly the same … It was to pacify the chaotic world, create order, settle the world, and stabilize the masses. I can pacify the chaotic world, pacify the world, stabilize the masses … “And creating order is what mister is good at.”
An Zheng: “My order is that no one is to force me.”
He turned around and said, “There are many talented people around you, so you don’t need me.”
Chen Zhongxu reached out to grab An Zheng’s arm, but An Zheng swatted his arm and dodged it.
“Sir, although my father is not so senseless, his heart is already in turmoil. It is true that I cannot bear to see the land fall into chaos, and the people die because of it. ”
An Zheng didn’t even turn his head around. “Let’s talk about it after you’ve thought about it properly, I want to ask you about it in the depths of your heart.”
An Zheng had already walked far away. When he wanted to give chase, he was stopped by Chen Zhongxu: “There’s no need to give chase.”
Su Mengmu lowered her hand and said: “My prince, this person’s personality is completely different from the rumors, as if she is a completely different person. However, if this person is too powerful, if she is unable to be of use to the prince, she might becomuge threat in the future. ”
Chen Zhongxu shook his head: “He is not for me to use, nor will he be used by others. This is good too, he isn’t willing to help me, but he won’t mess up my plans … Let’s go, I only want his attitude. Although he hadn’t been in the imperial court for a long time and he hadn’t been in Da Xi for a long time, the people who followed him were like a stream in the martial arts world when he ascended to greatness … It’s the kind of influence I wanted, and if he won’t, I’m a lot more at ease. ”
“If he doesn’t want to, why should Your Highness be at ease?”
“His heart is no longer in the temple, but in the wilderness.”
Chen Zhongxu smirked: “This is great news.”
An Zheng walked out for a long distance without even turning his head back, but he was actually feeling somewhat sorrowful in his heart. This Da Xi was someone that he had been loyal to death before. Now that he was in such a mess, how could he not feel heartache? He wasn’t even willing to think about the past when he was in Ming Fa Si.
Less than half an hour after leaving Chen Zhongxu, he was stopped by someone on the street again.
From afar, hundreds of armored cavalrymen surged forward witorrential momentum. When they got closer, they neatly reined in their horses and trained properly. An extremely luxurious carriage stopped behind them. The curtain of the carriage was lifted and a obese man walked out. Before he even got off the carriage, his voice had already drifted far away.
“Sir, did you really come?”
The man was very tall, but because he was too fat, his height was greatly reduced. His face was as round as a white bun, without any wrinkles. Because he was too fat, his eyes looked small and narrow. It could be said that out of all of Chen Wunuo’s sons, Chen Shuang was the ugliest. I wonder how such an outstanding parent could give birth to such a son …
“Teacher, I missed you so much.”
After Chen Shuang got off the carriage, he shook off the support of others and walked over quickly. Unexpectedly, he kneeled down in front of so many of his subordinates.
“Disciple Chen Shuang greets Mister.”
An Zheng was slightly startled, even when he was teaching Chen Mu how to remake his cultivation, Chen Shuang had never bowed in such a manner before. The Chen family waeavenly family, and Chen Shuang was a prince. How could they have imagined that such a grand gift would be given to them?
“After I bid farewell, I will never be able to sleep after reconstructing my heart. I will never be able to eat …”
Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by An Zheng with a wave of his hand: “You don’t know what to eat, yet you can eat so much. It’s really hard on you.”
Chen Shuang Shi was stunned for a moment, then said with an embarrassed smile: “Sir also knows, I am the first one among many princes to have been abandoned by father. Since that is the case, why am I forcing myself to be so outstanding? Thus … I might as well let myself go. ”
An Zheng laughed out loud, extending his hand to pull Chen Shuang up, “You came to stop me, not to pay my respects, right? Before, your subordinates stopped me and said that you love swords the most, why … Weren’t you the one who used to love beauties the most? ”
“The aura of wealth and alcohol is something that students love, but even the students do not dare to forget it. When a student comes to meet with his teacher, the first is to say goodbye, the second is to vent his anger for his teacher … Bring it up! ”
He waved his hand, and two guards brought one person up; it was Song Shenfeng who stopped An Zheng before.
“Kneel!”
Chen Shuang reprimanded angrily, “I followed you for many years, and now, most of what I learn comes from you. You actually dare to be disrespectful to me?”
An Zheng watched on as if he was watching a play, wanting to know how Chen Shuang would express his anger next. But what he did not expect was, Chen Shuang suddenly pulled out his long blade from the sheath of the guard beside him, and stabbed it into Song Shen Feng’s heart.
“Today, I will let all of you know that I will be your father for a day, and you will teach me for a few years just like my father. If any of you are disrespectful to him, then you are disrespectful to me. ”
He casually threw the blade on the ground and extended his hand to grab An Zheng’s hand: “Sir, it has been many years since this disciple and Sir met. I miss you very much, please come back with me Sir, I will drink with Sir.”
An Zheng looked at the corpses on the ground, and his heart could not help but tremble slightly.
Those from the Chen Clan, what exactly did they have to go through to transform into this? Was this kind of son what Chen Wunuo wanted to see the most?
Chen Wunuo once said that in order to become a Sacred Emperor, one had to have the dignity of a dragon, the right to bestow upon others the title of Heaven’s Mandate, and the right to be called the Son of Heaven. But this isn’t enough. To become a good emperor, one must have the attitude of a dragon, but the heart of a tiger and the heart of a wolf … What An Zheng saw in Chen Shuang’s eyes was something inside the wolf’s bones.
He … He was no longer the gentle little fatty he had taught her.
