Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 829 – This Military Advisor Is Unparalleled Under Heaven

An Zheng stood on top of the Giant Eagle Battleship, his upper body not wearing any clothes. The contours of the bandaged pectoral muscles looked so hard, and the abs on the lower abdomen were more masculine.

The Giant Eagle battleship flew towards the nearest large city to replenish its various supplies. An Zheng had lost this battle, but the battle had shaken the entire Northwest. Very quickly, the news spread out, saying that Daoist Chen Liuxi who came from the capital witeam of a few hundred people, relying on three warships, he exterminated at least tens of thousands of blood bat, along with a few other powerful Spirit Beasts that were comparable to Higher Completion Stage cultivators, and most importantly, the Spirit Beasts which had been harming the northwest for the past few months, were also killed by him.

The speed at which this news spread was even faster than a hurricane. At night, countless citizens had already gathered at the place where the battleship had stopped, cheering. But An Zheng didn’t have the slightest bit of pride, even if his battle record was brilliant.

He thought about what Han Dakui had told him back in the Jinling … You are just a cultivator witeart full of questions. On what basis are you the commander of so many warriors?

That’s right, An Zheng finally understood that he wasn’t omnipotent. Undeniably, if this task was given to Chen Zhongqi or Chen Zhongqi, they would definitely not use Han Dakui. Even if it was given to Yuwen Wuming, or even if it was Yuwen Wuyou who came to welcome him and had a good chat with Han Dakui later on, he would definitely not use him. Some people might not even know how to use it.

He felt that he had calculated everything beforehand. Unfortunately, the heavens always made him a cruel and bloody joke when he thought that nothing unexpected would happen. If the three battleships didn’t move, the beasts might not dare to pounce on them at sucigh altitude. Even if they were to pounce on them, An Zheng had already calculated the time they would take to kill the Eagle Horse. He knew that as long as he successfully defended those three warships, he would be able to hurry back.

There is nothing that has happened in this world that cannot be done if one thinks about it, especially when people are dead.

He let out a long breath and glanced around the battleship at the cheering crowd. Perhaps, this was the only consolation for those who had died in battle. They finally got something called gratitude.

Ye Xiaoxin had already recovered a lot after eating An Zheng’s Jindan. Although he was still unconscious, at least his life was saved. An Zheng contacted the ship when the battleship was about to return. With its speed, it should be arriving soon. After sending Ye Xiaoxin back to recuperate, he would not recover for half a year.

Just as he was thinking about this, the space around him slightly distorted, and Qu Liuxi appeared not far behind him.

“I brought this.”

She waved the thing in her hand towards An Zheng: “It’s still warm. No matter what, you have to fill your stomach first.”

An Zheng could smell the fragrance of the sesame seed cake, and it was also the unique smell of State of Yan. He smiled and took it. Then, he sat down cross-legged and began to eat. He wolfed down his food, not looking displeased at all.

“I know you ate for me to see.”

Qu Liuxi said: “I know you’re not in the mood to eat, but I still forced you to eat a little like this. You are a great cultivator now, and food is no longer important to you, but it’s just about how long you can hold it out, not how long you don’t need it at all. No matter how high your cultivation is, every mouthful of food will still bring you nourishment. ”

She looked at the injuries on An Zheng’s body. “Especially when you’re injured.”

An Zheng laughed, his cheeks bulging like a fool.

“You intend to seek revenge?”

Qu Liuxi sat down beside An Zheng, and rested her head gently on An Zheng’s shoulder.

An Zheng nodded slightly: “We have to go eventually. Otherwise, wouldn’t those brothers of ours have died in vain? I am directly responsible for their deaths, which would not have been the case if I had not taken too much for granted. ”

Qu Liuxi said: “You are always very impulsive, but I know that you are not reckless. I can’t say you don’t feel guilty, because that’s impossible. ”

She looked at the commoners in the distance who were still unwilling to disperse, “Have you ever wondered why Daxi Shenghuang was so anxious to have you bring these soldiers that have yet to be fully trained to the northwest?”

“Why?”

Qu Liuxi said calmly, “You arero. Whether it is your previous life or this life, you are a peerless hero. But you won’t be an official, either in your previous life or in this one. On the way here, I kept asking why. I was used to using your way of thinking to think, so I tried using my own way of thinking, but the answer I got was different. ”

She held An Zheng’s hand and realized that An Zheng’s heart was very cold.

“Chen Wunuo told you to come to the northwest, of course it’s not for you, nor for those six hundred carefully chosen soldiers. He has his reasons for valuing you, and even for indulging himself. ”

She glanced at An Zheng: “I don’t know if what I said was right, I just wanted you to take a look. I think there are two possibilities with regards to this matter. ”

“First, what are the clans and sects in the Northwest, and even the local officials thinking? Would they be as happy as the people below? No, they hate you. They hate you so much that the roots of their teeth itch. The Eagle Horse had already been in danger in the northwest for a long time, and had been in danger for at least a few months. Is there really no one stronger than you in the Northwest? Is the Northwest Army really not as good at fighting as your six hundred men? ”

Hearing these words, An Zheng’s face suddenly changed... He really did not think about this. He was still that straightforward person, so he wouldn’t think about so many things.

Qu Liuxi continued, “The reason why the people of the Northwest are not in a rush to kill the Eagle Horse, and not take the initiative to start a war with the demon beasts, is because they want to kill them. There were two reasons. The first reason was that he wanted to protect himself. No one is willing to use your strength to fight a demon beast to the death. The result of your battle is glorious enough, but it is also a desperate victory. Those people can’t bear to have their strength taken such a blow. Moreover, they are in the northwest. If you are done fighting, you can leave and if they beat up too many demonic beasts, the revenge will be even more intense. ”

“Then it would be them who expected the demon beasts in the northwest to be in a state of chaos and report to the Holy See continuously. That way, the various support provided by the Holy See to the northwest would be endless. Whether it was the materials, the army, or something else, the Holy See would deliver them. But of course, these things will not be used in the war with the demon beasts.

“But now, you barged in recklessly like this, using a kind of … How should he put it? Although the victory is too tragic for us, but for those who win it is very easy to play it down. It had to show that they were incompetent, or that they didn’t want to fight. No matter if it’s because they’re useless or not, you’ve set them up, so they want you to die right now. ”

“Secondly, Chen Wunuo really doesn’t know what these people from the Northwest are thinking. Of course he knows. He let you come precisely because he knows everything. But he himself did not dare to leave the Jinling, because he was afraid of that Demon Beast Monarch. He would even worry about the Yuwen Clan’s old man who could shoot out tens of thousands of li in a single shot because he was afraid that the old man’s injuries would be lighter than his own.

“Although Chen Wunuo asking you to come might seem like he was a little sloppy, he actually did it on purpose. He’s using your rampage to warn the northwest local officials and even the military. He’s using you to slap those people in the face. You came and killed the Eagle Horse, bringing disaster to the northwest for a few months. The Eagle Horse, which had caused a large area of the desert and killed countless people, was killed by you just like that. This was sufficient to show that the people in power in the Northwest had never intended to fighrue battle with a demon beast … Now they have to face a choice. ”

Qu Liuxi looked at An Zheng and said seriously: “Do you really want to organize a battle and demon beast decision, or... “Kill you.”

An Zheng suddenly understood why Qu Liuxi had rushed over in sucush. She was worried about himself. An Zheng subconsciously tightened his grip on Qu Liuxi’s hand, and smiled gently: “Don’t worry, in this life, no one can kill me like this anymore.”

Qu Liuxi nodded, “But don’t you dare underestimate the dangers of those people.”

An Zheng said: “If they are given a choice whether to fight with the demon beasts or to kill me, they will definitely choose to kill me. Because as long as I live, they seem incompetent or don’t want to fight at all. No matter which one, it would not be easy for them to be determined by Chen Wunuo. So it’s still worth killing me... As long as I die, they can immediately run over to Chen Wunuo and tell him, Your Majesty, look, the Goblin Beasts from the Northwest are really too strong. It’s not that we are useless or incompetent, it’s just that we can’t fight them. If even Chen Liuxi is dead, then we can’t help but feel helpless. ”

Qu Liuxi laughed at his teasing tone. “You actually know about it?”

An Zheng: “Of course I don’t know, if you hadn’t said it, I wouldn’t have thought of all this.”

Qu Liuxi leaned on his shoulder and said: “How could you not know? What you’ve been doing is fighting evil, not ugliness. You don’t bother to think about the ugliness of those people. ”

An Zheng: “You don’t have to comfort me. I really didn’t think that much.”

Qu Liuxi asked, “What about now? What do we do now? ”

An Zheng: “I know what you’re thinking, you’re telling me this because you want me to return to the Jinling right now. As long as I leave fast enough, it won’t be that easy for these people to kill me. They needed time to build a trap for me to jump into, and if I left now, they wouldn’t make it in time. So they must be heading here now, doing everything they can to stop me. They will use the most beautiful words to praise me, use the best things to entertain me, and even say that the Northwest needs you, you must leave some time … ”

“You want me to go back, don’t you?”

Qu Liuxi acknowledged, “But you won’t go back right now right?”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

Qu Liuxi was silent for a while, before she said: “We must avenge the warriors who died in battle. It’s impossible to count on these people from the northwest to get revenge for them. Besides, I know you … The enmity that you want to avenge yourself, will not be done by anyone else. ”

“Yes.”

“So, if I want to take revenge, I can’t be tricked by those people from the northwest. I’ll have to think about it.”

An Zheng lowered his head and said: “It seems like you had already planned this out. I know that you didn’t come in a hurry to persuade me to return to the Jinling as soon as possible. You know me, you know I’m an impulsive bastard. Even if you come to persuade me, I won’t leave that easily. If I don’t turn those monsters upside down, I won’t be able to go back and see the families of those people who died in battle. ”

“So …” “From now on.”

Qu Liuxi patted An Zheng’s shoulder: “Listen to me. Since you know that I’ve thought of a way, then you must listen to me. I’ll give you two choices... The first is that you have to follow my plan completely, and the second is that I ask my master to bring you back to the ship. ”

“Master?”

An Zheng was slightly taken aback. “Chen Xiaoyao actually also got you to call him Master.”

Qu Liuxi blushed, “No … But shouldn’t I call him that? ”

An Zheng hugged Qu Liuxi’s shoulders. “Of course I should, you’re my wife.”

Qu Liuxi slowly heaved a sigh of relief, “Alright, then. For the next few steps, you have to listen to me. ”

An Zheng nodded his head heavily: “I’ll listen to you!”
