Chapter 963 – Probing

This woman wore the black official uniform of the Residence of Lieutenant. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail, and she had a heroic air about her. She reached her whip and struck it towards An Zheng’s hand: “You bribe an official of the Diwan Palace in the street, you’re courting death!”

With a “pa” sound, the horsewhip shook the air and made a cracking sound.

An Zheng was already standing by the side as he cupped his fists and said seriously: “I have offended you. We are indeed from outside this city, and are unfamiliar with this place. My friend was misunderstood by the officials of your Martial House to want to take him away, and I was helpless to do so. But, it’s a mistake, I’ll accept the punishment. ”

The woman was slightly startled, she did not expect An Zheng’s performance to be like this. Furthermore, she didn’t even manage to see the speed at which An Zheng had dodged. It was clear that he was an expert. The other party’s cultivation base was high, and his attitude was respectful. To admit his mistakes and be sincere was not something one could do half-heartedly.

“You … What are you asking about? ”

With a straight face, she said, “I’m Cao Yanzhi, the capital of the Dian Ming Prefecture. I’m in charge of the security here. Tell me what you’re asking about!”

An Zheng said: “Many years ago, there wauge battle, so you should know about it. My friend is the descendant of the person who passed away in that great war. We came all the way here from the outside world just to find the thing left behind by his ancestor. ”

Cao Yanzhi frowned slightly. “A big battle? Men, bring all of them to the Residence of Lieutenant! ”

A group of black-clothed field officers walked forward. Du Shoushou and Chen Shaobai, who had rushed back, wanted to make a move, but they were stopped by An Zheng shaking his head. The four were brought by the field officer to the Martial House, but after entering the door, they were not brought into the main hall. Instead, they were brought directly into Cao Yanzhi’s study.

Cao Yanzhi sat down in a chair. Her expression also became a lot more relaxed, “What exactly are you guys looking for? Not many people knew the details of the war that happened many years ago. Decades have passed, and the people think it’s just an ordinary war. ”

An Zheng replied: “The Great Celestial War.”

Cao Yanzhi’s eyes flickered. She suddenly stood up and said, “Come with me.”

As soon as he entered the residence, he didn’t know where he would be brought to next. As Du Shoushou muttered to himself, Cao Yanzhi thought that he was cursing her. She leaned over to listen, the fatty was talking about a slender waist and a round butt, he was definitely going to have a son.

Cao Yanzhi’s face turned slightly red, but she suppressed her anger. The few of them followed Cao Yanzhi and left from the back gate of the Martial House. They directly boarded a completely enclosed horse carriage. After bumping on the road for about half an hour, they stopped. When An Zheng and the others came out, they realized that they were already in a giant palace city. Archers were patrolling back and forth on top of the tall city walls. A few cultivators dressed in red silk robes were constantly walking about.

“Where is this?”

“The palace.”

Cao Yanzhi coldly said as she walked, “I want to take you to see His Majesty.”

“Your Majesty?”

An Zheng asked: “Didn’t you say that you have moved to the capital of Luoyang? Why is His Majesty still in Ye City?”

“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.”

Cao Yanzhi walked to the entrance of the Forbidden Palace, took off the medallion hanging at her waist and handed it over. The guard took it and looked at it, then bowed and said, “Please go in Sir, His Majesty is currently reviewing the imperial reports of the Wangyou Pavilion.”

“Got it.”

Cao Yanzhi replied and took a big step forward. She wasn’t very tall, about 1.65 meters or so, witerfect figure and delicate curves. Beneath the black embroidered clothes, he appeared to be full of vigor and vitality. Ordinary men would have no way to even get close to such a woman. Her edge was clearly visible to them.

After walking for a while longer, they stopped outside a bamboo forest. Cao Yanzhi told her to wait and went in first. Du Shoushou looked at her back and said: “This woman is so powerful, ordinary men are simply unable to control her.”

Chen Shaobai: “Did you have a change of heart?”

Du Shoushou: “Don’t you think that she has been looking at me this entire time? must have been impressed by my heroism. ”

As he was speaking, an attendant ran out and shouted, “Warriors, please follow me.”

They followed Chu Feng into the bamboo forest. After walking for several meters, they saw a magnificent palace building within the bamboo forest. As the attendant entered a hall, he heard someone call out from inside, “Everyone, come in.”

After An Zheng entered, he saw Cao Yanzhi standing at the side with her head lowered. At the window, with her back facing them, stood a man. When he turned around, the cold glint in his eyes seemed to pierce into people’s hearts. This person had a short beard, making him look even more imposing.

“Pay your respects to your majesty!”

Cao Yanzhi said coldly.

An Zheng and the rest cupped their fists and bowed: “We pay our respects to Your Majesty.”

The man waved his hand and said, “Forget it, where are you guys from? I hope that you all do not lie. What you all have mentioned is something that I want to know, and it concerns the safety of my Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb. “I don’t want to force you, and I don’t want to be deceived.”

An Zheng thought for a moment and said: “We... Come from outside. ”

“Outside?”

The man’s expression changed abruptly, “As expected …” My guess is indeed correct. ”

He glanced at Cao Yanzhi. “Did you tell them about that?”

Cao Yanzhi quickly said, “This subject doesn’t dare. This matter is confidential, and this subject doesn’t dare to easily divulge it.”

The Emperor walked to the side of the desk, opened a drawer and took out a brocade bag, passing it to An Zheng: “Look, this was left behind for us by Great Sima before he died.”

An Zheng felt that everything was a bit of a dream. He somehow entered this kind of secret realm, and inexplicably saw the Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb Emperor, who should have already died for ten thousand years. Everything seemed so unreal, so unreal. He opened the pouch and found a piece of silk inside. Opening it up, there were a few words that shocked An Zheng.

The Emperor said, “Before the Great Sima died, he gave this to me. He said that there will definitely be outsiders in the future. If they come, I will show them to you. Back then, when we were discussing with the Great Sima, we both guessed that this world isn’t real. Everything had disappeared so suddenly that nothing seemed to have changed, but it was precisely because everything had changed so much. “It’s only been a few decades, so it’s nothing to the common people, but to me, it’s a matter of life and death.”

On the silk was written … The world was divided into two, either smaller or larger. No matter how big or small, no matter inside or outside, the barrier would eventually break. If an outsider came to look for him, they could open up the forbidden zone and investigate to the end.

The emperor said, “Dozens of years ago, during the great war between the immortals, my Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb put down our enmity and enmity. That is to say, the Great General. In that battle, my Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb suffered over a dozen losses. However, after that, the war ended and everything became strange. From then on, my Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb will unify the world, but … My greatest wish is to find the truth and find my royal father. ”

Seeing that An Zheng and the others were a little confused, Cao Yanzhi explained in a low voice.

Dozens of years ago, the great war between Immortals and Mortal Realm cultivators. The advisor of the Empire of Shu, Zhuge Qionglu, personally paid a visit. In the imperial court, he defended himself against the public and fought against the masses. He persuaded the founding emperor of the Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb to join forces with the armies of the various countries to suppress the immortal palace. However, in that battle, the number one expert of Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb, the Emperor, and his several hundred generals had all disappeared. If he died in battle, where would the immortal palace be? If they didn’t die in battle, where would they be?

“I wholeheartedly want to find the answer to this secret.”

The Emperor paced around and said, “A few decades ago, my royal father built a Soaring Dragon Platform in the west of Ye City. However, after it was built, he ordered people to seal it and no one is allowed to enter. Not long after, a large golden planet fell from the sky and into the Soaring Dragon Platform. I was worried that something might happen, so I broke royal father’s order not to enter the Soaring Dragon Platform. However, none of the experts that I’ve sent out survived. I have also deployed a thousand refined armors, a chariot, and a magical equipment. Aesult, a thousand people fell like stones into the ocean. ”

He glanced at An Zheng: “Tell me about what happened outside.”

An Zheng explained the situation to him. When the emperor heard that it had been more than ten thousand years since the last time they met, his complexion clearly changed. Because he was too shocked, even his hands seemed to be trembling slightly.

“In order to protect our country, the powerful figures before us actually used such a great method to divide the world.” I really don’t know if this is happiness or worry. Yanzhi, go and bring Cao Hu, Cao Bao, Xiahou Gang, Zhang Ge and Xu Zhe over. We will explore the Soaring Dragon Platform again. If my royal father is truly imprisoned in the Soaring Dragon Stage, I will save him no matter what. ”

Not long after, a few armored generals walked in from the outside. These people all looked like they were walking on a mountain, they were extremely valiant and valiant looking men. The person walking in front was nearly two meters tall, strong aiger or leopard. It was the Great General of the Wei Nation, Xu Zhe. The few people who followed after him were also filled with killing intent.

“Your Majesty, who are these people?”

Xia Hou looked at An Zheng and the others with a face full of contempt. Cao Yanzhi briefly recounted what had happened, and Xiahou Sheng snorted coldly, “I’m afraid it’s some swindler. One of them is as fat aig, while the other is as reckless as a cow. One is a pretty boy, and the other is a sissy.”

In his opinion, An Zheng waretty boy, and Chen Shaobai was a sissy.

“If these few people are experts from the outside world, this official would have no more interest in the outside world. This matter was related to the late emperor. His Majesty had still thought twice before acting. If you really want to go, then this official will go and wait. I will call a few outsiders who do not know anything and worry that they are unreliable. Even if we can rely on them, we have no spare energy to protect these little sheep. ”

Chen Shaobai coldly snorted. “You are as boar’s.”

Xiahou Yuan flew intage, “Do you believe that I won’t tear you apart right now?!”

Chen Shaobai curled his lips: “Your mouth is on your butt. You can fart however you want.”

Xiahou Chang clasped his hands together, “Your Majesty, this subject wishes to kill this man.”

The emperor’s expression darkened slightly. “Xiahou Gang, do you still have me in your eyes?”

Xiahou Gang hurriedly took a step back, “This subject doesn’t dare. This subject just doesn’t want His Majesty to be deceived.” If these people are truly talented, then I have nothing to say to them. ”

An Zheng finally understood that although Xia Hou looked rough at first, he had done it on purpose. He only wanted to test out their strength. Of course, the emperor was too embarrassed to say it out loud. With someone like Xiahou Gang speaking out, he was in the middle of the group and seemed much better.

“How about this?”

Xu Zhe cupped his fists and said: “This matter concerns the late emperor, we cannot be careless. Do any of you dare to try your luck? ”

Chen Shaobai: “I’m just afraid that my actions aren’t light or heavy. If you guys get beaten to death by me, wouldn’t you be bluffing?”

The emperor said, “Stop it. Do not kill anyone.”

Cao Bao snorted: “See, you are a swindler, you don’t dare to follow up.” If I were to say so, I would capture these few people and mince them to feed to the dogs. ”

Cao Hu laughed, “Even dogs don’t eat them.”

Du Shoushou shouted loudly: “Which one wants to fight your fat grandpa?!”
