Chapter 474 – Mighty People
An Zheng looked at Ou Yangduo strangely, but Ou Yangduo’s expression was sincere.
“I know what you mean by looking at me like that.”
Ou Yangduo smiled, “Of course you know that the Ming Fa Si of the Da Xi Empire is no longer as strong as before. Although the yamen is still here, most of their authority has been taken away by the Holy Hall. Everyone was saying that the Ming Fa Si did not exist. In fact, that was indeed the case. With the potential that you have displayed in the Three Academies, I believe that there are a lot of people who are paying attention to you. It’s a good thing that you’re here, but it’s not always a good thing. ”
He said patiently, “I know you’re from the North Yan race. Not to mention you’re from a civilian family, even if you’re from a wealthy family, you still wouldn’t be taken seriously by people in Da Xi. So it’s really important to choose you. Can those who show interest in you really do you any good? Of course you can go somewhere else. However, when it comes to fair treatment, the only one who can do so is the Great Western Ming Fa Si. ”
He pointed to his heart, “Only the Great Western Ming Fa Si would not care about their background or background. As long as justice exists in your heart, you will be able to realize your dream in the Great Western Ming Fa Si. ”
An Zheng said, “You sound like you are abducting women and children.”
Ou Yangduo laughed out loud: “I don’t know if you are familiar with the Ming Fa Si, but in the past, there was no one who would use this kind of attitude to talk to me. Everyone felt that Ming Fa Si was a serious and cold yamen, and it was indeed so. But we’re not all that rigid inside. We’re all normal. I’m just here to express my goodwill and not to remind you to join any family that you think is famous. ”
“In the end, the Ming Fa Si is the only place that does not care about one’s background.”
He said seriously, “Actually, I’m not born and bred in the West. I’m from BoHai. Speaking of which, BoHai Country is not much better than your State of Yan Country. A king with ambition greater than the heavens dreams of being the strongest country in the world and he’s still in the process of waking up. All he thought about all day was how to eliminate this, and how to become a co-owner of this world like Daxi Shenghuang … At least State of Yan can occasionally recuperate for a few years or so. However, for BoHai... “There’s not a single day of peace.”
Of course, An Zheng knew that Ou Yangduo was not a foreigner, but this was the first time he was complaining like this.
“Staying in Da Xi iype of escape.”
Ou Yangduo remained silent for a while, before continuing: “As long as you’re a good guy, who doesn’t want to build a career for their country? If it wasn’t for the fact that I’m disappointed, or even desperate to the extreme, I wouldn’t choose to stay in Da Xi. With my ability, I can definitely reacigher position in BoHai. But I didn’t want to go back, not even for a second. “I don’t want to be the executioner’s assistant. I would rather stay in the Great Xixi and do something more meaningful.”
An Zheng: “But I am not disappointed in State of Yan.”
Ou Yangduo suddenly laughed, “Alright, with these words of yours, I can finally rest at ease. A lot of people can’t stand the temptation, but that means you want to go back. If a young man like you becomes the victim of some kind of struggle, it’ity. I just don’t want to see you get involved in any trouble. ”
An Zheng: “What kind of waves are these?”
Ou Yangduo: “Nothing, it has nothing to do with you. At least, it has nothing to do with you before you decide to stay. If you wish to return to the State of Yan, I advise you to leave as soon as possible. Da Xi world is far from being as calm as you seem. The places where you can’t see are already filled with waves. ”
He got up and pushed open the secret door behind him.
An Zheng was a little impressed by Ou Yangduo, even though he was once his subordinate. This ordinary looking bun house seemed to bidden secret under the jurisdiction of the Ming Fa Si’s Intelligence Division, and only the people from the Intelligence Division knew about it. The reason why they were so close to the Three Academies was obviously to monitor it. However, the Ming Fa Si was not purely for intelligence purposes, why would he take the initiative to monitor the Three Academies?
Ou Yangduo left as well. It was a bit strange that he came, and it was the same when he left.
Fang Huo looked at An Zheng: “Are you curious about my identity? Since I brought you here, I’m not afraid of you knowing. I’m from the Ming Fa Si, always have been. Even if the Ming Fa Si was banned by the Holy Hall one day, I feel that they are still people of the Ming Fa Si, and will be so for the rest of their lives. Although... Since the fall of the first lord, the Ming Fa Si was no longer the original Ming Fa Si. I’m not afraid that you know who I am because I can see that you’righteous person and that this is my gamble. If you betray me and cause me to die, I can only blame myself for seeing the wrong person. ”
An Zheng said, “The taste of the bun is pretty good.”
He atlate of steamed buns in quick succession and then went out to settle his account.
Fang Shishi really did follow An Zheng out, and looked at the young man’s back, thinking that he might have seen wrongly. He waerson that couldn’t be touched no matter how honest he was.
“You are really determined to return to the State of Yan?”
“Yes.”
“That’s good.”
An Zheng could not really understand why Fang Xuanyuan would actually say these three words. Fang Hengzhen said as he walked, “I know that from today onwards, you will be able to challenge the experts of the Purple Rankings. I wish you success. “After you meet his Majesty, I hope that you can leave this place as soon as possible, regardless of whether you succeed or not.”
An Zheng: “Why?”
“Perhaps, the Jinling will not be so peaceful.”
Fang really left after saying those words, not saying another word.
At this time, there were already too many people watching An Zheng, and many people in Three Academies knew that An Zheng would definitely continue with his challenge, so they had already begun to gather over at contest ground’s side. The people on the road all looked at An Zheng with all kinds of gazes, some were good, some were evil. Everyone had different thoughts. Some people saw An Zheng as themselves, and felt that they were the one being challenged. Some people viewed An Zheng as a monster and thought that An Zheng did all these just to become famous.
contest ground, An Zheng walked in front of Cen Jiaoxi. Cen Jiaoxi lifted his head and glanced at An Zheng. He didn’t know why he didn’t have the usual intimacy he used to have; maybe she had hidden it away, or maybe An Zheng had something that made her feel that he shouldn’t be this close to him anymore.
“Sign.”
She pushed the form towards An Zheng, then raised her head and looked towards the sky. The whites of her eyes looked really big.
An Zheng signed the three words Du Shaobai, then asked: “What’s wrong, Sir?”
“Teacher is angry.”
“Why is Teacher angry?”
“Because the food you cook is too delicious. When you think about how you will hate vegetables and cabbages in the future because you won’t be able to eat such delicious dishes, you can’t feel happy at all.”
“If mister still wants more, I’ll make more.”
“No need.”
Cen Jiaoxi said with a serious face: “If you can’t cook for me everyday, it’s best if you don’t go back.”
An Zheng: “Then I won’t be going.”
Cen Jiaoxi: “You … Why don’t you try fighting for it? Maybe I’ll agree when you say it. ”
An Zheng: “Forget it.”
He turned around and walked towards the contest ground with an unhappy expression on Cen Jiaoxi’s face. Ye Lan, who was sitting beside her, laughed as he gloated, “This little fellow is truly interesting.”
When An Zheng reached the contest ground, it was not exaggerated to say that there was a sea of people outside the contest ground. Everyone knew that An Zheng had challenged the experts on the Purple Rankings today, so they wanted to know what the limit of this monster’s powers was. A day’s worth of challenges had already made it to the Purple Rankings. No matter what, this fellow had already made history.
A person from the contest ground was already waiting for him there. It was a young man who looked very friendly. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be in his twenties, but he had a sense of maturity. An Zheng found it strange that he couldn’t feel any threat or hostility from this person. He had a faint but very comfortable easygoing temperament, as if he was a friend that he had known for a long time.
“Hello, my name is Tang Mu Tang.”
The young man stood up and spoke softly. He was wearing a crescent-white robe and he put down the book politely as he spoke. While he was waiting for An Zheng to arrive, he actually quietly read a book.
Surname Tang?
An Zheng habitually started to think about who the Tang person was, but his memories were a bit distant. Seven or eight years ago, even if the Da Xi Jinling’s Tang Clan was an outstanding youth, he would only be in his teens. An Zheng did not have a deep impression of him. However, the Tang family of the Jinling was born into the martial arts world, and because they had helped the Great General in pacifying the riots at the southern border, they were allowed to enter the Jinling by the Saint Emperor.
It was said that the people of the Tang Clan were all rugged and bold. Their temperament was completely different from this youth’s.
“My name is Du Shaobai.”
An Zheng cupped his fists and replied.
Tang Mu Tang smiled and said, “You don’t need to introduce yourself. Currently, there are only two types of people in the Three Academies that do not know who you are. “One is to pretend that he doesn’t know anything, and the other is to be an idiot.”
An Zheng laughed as he shook his head.
Tang Mu Tang placed the book on the chair, and then walked around two meters away from An Zheng as he said in a serious tone: “I’m not used to fighting with others. At that time, the only reason I got onto the purple ranking was because my father forced me to. I am on the Purple List, he has always been bragging about my capabilities. So even though I feel like I can’t beat you, I’ll still do my best. From my own point of view, there was no meaning in me being on the Purple Rankings. But from my father’s point of view, I can lose but I cannot escape. ”
An Zheng nodded: “Understood.”
Tang Mu Tang replied: “I am a member of the Tang Clan. I am the Tang Clan that you think I am. “So you must be careful. The cultivation techniques that our Tang Clan has cultivated since childhood are very strange.”
The Tang Sect, the Tang Sect that terrified people in the Southern Wilderness.
Of course An Zheng knew, because the Tang Sect was a strange family. An Zheng had long since heard that the Tang Clan of the Southern Wilderness had the title of righteous Tang. Although the whole family was crude and rude, they were good people. If there was something that he couldn’t solve himself, as long as it wasn’t a bad thing and was requested by the Tang Sect, the Tang Sect would usually step in to solve it.
Ming Fa Si had previously investigated the Tang Sect and discovered that this was a family that actually had nothing to do with the many evil deeds of the Southern Wilderness. Therefore, An Zheng had always had a kind of respect for the Tang Sect, a respect that came from the bottom of his heart. It was not difficult for one generation to do good, but it was really too difficult for several generations to continue doing good without committing evil. Especially now that the family had grown in power, it would be even harder for them to maintain their initial state of mind.
An Zheng: “I will pay attention and try my best.”
Tang Mu Tang: “You and I will try our best, but we hope that we will be able to live up to our expectations.”
He raised his left hand. “My left hand cultivates the Tang Sect’s illusion techniques. My right hand cultivates the Tang Sect’s secret weapon, while my right hand pulls out an endless stream of attacks. The combination of illusion techniques and hidden weapons is a bit difficult to deal with. ”
How could there be sucerson in the world? Before we fight, tell your opponent what I can do and what I can do better. It was either a person who committed adultery and evil, or someone who was extremely magnanimous to the extreme.
An Zheng cupped his fists, and bowed once again: “This one is Du Shaobai, please advise.”
