Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 85

There was one thing that An Zheng could not well understood, but that is not the point. The empress dowager, Su Qing, dared to kill the Duke of Yan back then, so why did she wait a few years before starting to clean up the people who knew about it back then? He was curious, but the point of this matter for An Zhe was to confirm who his enemies were.

An Zhan fell silent and thought for a while. He guessed that most of the people he had purged were people Empress Dowager Su wasn’t sure if they knew anything about. Even though Zhuge Yan had entered the palace back then, no one knew whether she had told the King of Yan or not. Even if she said it, Zhuge Yan definitely wouldn’t expose him. Besides, Yan Wang was murdered the next day, so Su Qing had stayed with Zhuge Yan until now.

The real people who had been in the know at the time might have been wiped out. Or perhaps, for some reason, Su Qing had to wait for more than four years before she could start.

Li Yenian was already drunk, so he fell asleep on the table. This was also a pitiful person. Without waking him up, An Zeng found Li Yinian and put him on.

A man came out of the room and sat in the open and looked up at the moon.

His original intention was to get close to Li Yenian and see if he could find out some of the things that had happened at that time. Much of the truth came as a surprise, but the struggle was not easy. Because the closer he got to the truth, the bigger the hole in his heart became.

Why a heavy weapon?

In the end, An Zhe still couldn’t figure out this question. Chen Xinjie and he were true friends. They could be considered brothers. When An Zhe had just been promoted from Law Enforcement Envoy to a small Law Enforcement Envoy, he had met Chen Chong. From then on, the relationship between the two had become even better. At that time, Chen Zhong concealed his identity as a prince and helped him with his crimes.

Perhaps, at that time, Chen Jiaxuan’s life was just a little too boring, and following a small law enforcer to deal with a case was somewhat and exciting for him. But after a few perils, the two had become best friends.

He was clearly a person who could count on his life, so why did he suddenly have the urge to kill?

Andersen lay back and stared at the sky.

At some point, Qu Liuxi had walked over and sat beside him, then reached out her hand to hold his.

An Zhan was startled for a moment, then he smiled.

This was the first time Qu Liuxi had taken the initiative to express her feelings. Even though everyone knew that she liked to fight, she had deliberately avoided this question. She took his hand because she felt his sadness and an inexplicable sense of helplessness.

“”Why aren’t you asleep yet?””

Anjou asked.

Qu Liuxi replied, “”You didn’t come back. You couldn’t sleep.”” When you came back, you were crying in your room, and I knew something had happened to you. Then I saw you here alone in a daze, so I came to sit with you for a while. “”

Her voice was soft, but Anjou felt warm inside.

“”When you told Skinny Du long ago that you were a Divine Giver, I began to look through the records.””

Qu Liuxi looked down at the ground, her hair hanging down, covering half of her face. Under the moonlight, her appearance was so beautiful and tranquil, like a flower blooming quietly in the night sky.

“”I’ve collected many books on this subject, and one of them said that … the one who gave it to me was actually not a Heavenly Pursuit.””

Qu Liuxi’s hand tightened, letting An Zhe feel the warmth of her palm. “”I was worried about you at that time. I felt that there was some sort of hatred or something very heavy hidden in your heart, pressing down on you until you were very, very tired.”” According to the book, the so-called Heavenly Commandment was actually a transfer of the soul. Most of the givers were dead. The souls were dead. “”The reason why they were able to know so many things they didn’t know before when they woke up was because another soul had entered their body.””

“”And anyone who can find a new body with a soul that doesn’t perish is powerful, so they know a lot of things. That’s why the giver is so different from before when he wakes up. “”

Her hands tightened, obviously she was nervous. Qu Liuxi had never been a person who was good at expressing her feelings, but at this moment, she mustered all her courage.

“”I don’t know if you are, and I don’t want to know. In my heart, you are only a struggle for peace, a simple and genuine struggle for peace. “”Whether you bear any hatred or not, whether you have any secrets that you cannot tell me, you are a struggle for me, a struggle that you desperately fought over to protect us.””

She looked at An Zhan and said seriously, “”In my eyes, you are no different from the start.””

An Zhe also clenched Qu Liuxi’s hand tightly. He didn’t know why, but at this very moment, he wanted to hold onto her hand tightly without letting go.

“”I just wanted to tell you not to work too hard.””

Qu Liuxi also suddenly lay back, next to An Zeng on the ground. The two of them were so close that the faint fragrance from her body wafted into An Zhe’s nose, and then lingered in her mind for a long time.

Qu Liuxi looked at the sky and said, “”The past is the past, so we must pursue a result. This is nothing.”” “”But if you really fail your current self in pursuit of results, it’s not worth it.””

She did not know much about the struggle. She said these things only because of the book’s speculation about the giver, and her fears were not against the hatred of the struggle. She was merely saying what she had been trying to say to the struggle for peace for a long time.

“”I... We do not wish to lose you.””

The pause after my word made Qu Liuxi’s face turn slightly red.

An Zhan smiled, and with his other hand, he ruffled Qu Liuxi’s bangs. “”Stop daydreaming, you’re right. I’m just arguing, you guys are arguing.”” “”Don’t worry, I won’t do anything out of the ordinary.””

Qu Liuxi nodded her head, “”If you promise me, before you do anything in the future, think more about yourself. Think about how this person might affect you. Think about whether she will help you calm down a little.””

“”Who?””

Qu Liuxi bit her lips. “”I …””

Then she got up and hurried back to her room.

An Zeng sat up and looked at Qu Liuxi, who was running away, and suddenly felt a sense of guilt. The girl was so focused on herself that it might affect her life. However, An Zhe could not explain anything, nor could he use an ice-cold method to harm the girl.

In the distance, at the entrance of Gu Qianye’s room, Gu Qianye’s expression was somewhat complicated as he held a flagon of wine in his hands.

She turned around, closed the door, and drank all the wine in the flagon: “”I don’t care, I’m not angry. I just feel that the guy was a little pitiful in his daze, so I went to pity him. I only found a flagon of wine, so I was a little slow … Ah! Ah!”” What am I regretting, finding a jug of wine? “”Yeah, why would I need to find a jug of wine?””

She staggered a few steps and then threw herself on the bed. She dug a hole in the quilt and pillow and buried herself in it. “”I’m so sleepy. I need to sleep … Sleep a beautiful dream and dream of a handsome man.””

An Zeng lay on the ground for a while longer, seriously thinking about what Qu Liuxi had said.

That’s right, he had to take revenge, but he couldn’t blindly take revenge. He couldn’t just throw his rebirth into the fire for revenge. Now that he had everyone in the Heavenly Awakening Sect, he had the responsibility. Although this responsibility seemed much smaller compared to his previous responsibility as the head of the Hall of Magic, it was more real and practical, and it made his heart feel warm and comfortable.

In the days when the fight was still going on, the Minister was the law enforcement machine of the Da Xi, because the fight itself was a cold and ruthless machine, and there was no emotion in his eyes. Even though Xu Meidai of Skyfire Palace had repeatedly shown him good will, he still pretended that he knew nothing.

But this time, he found that he had changed.

He liked playing some dirty jokes with thin and thin Du Qiaoqi. He was so happy that he couldn’t close his legs … his mouth. He also liked Qu Liuxi’s little girl, the quaint Gu Qianye, and Old Huo and Qu’s personality.

All of this was different from before. He felt that he was born like this, and that he died like this.

Perhaps it was because the way he had died had exceeded his expectations, that he had changed the way he fought for his life. Or could it be that after all these years of being together with Du Liuyun and the others, he had changed himself?

Anjou didn’t want to pursue the answer. He just enjoyed his life.

Thinking about this, he realized that he was really affected by Qu Liuxi. Just a moment ago, he was still feeling frustrated and angry. However, when he thought about the happiness he had spent with everyone, all his troubles and anger were expelled in an instant. The killing intent that was rising in his heart quietly disappeared. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … ….

Actually, while An Zeng was lying on the ground looking at the moon, he was trying his best to take a deep breath and suppress his killing intent. The moment he knew the truth, he almost couldn’t help but rush out of his room to kill everyone in the Su family. But the moment Qu Liuxi’s hand held his hand, this killing intent was dispelled by a power as gentle as water.

He got up, took a deep breath, and went back to his room to sleep.

Gu Qian Ye struggled out of his bed, walked to the window, and saw An Zaiyue heading back to his room with light footsteps. She rolled her eyes at An Zaiyue and mumbled to herself, ‘How heartless.’ Then she walked backwards and then lay back on the bed and fell asleep, more heartless than anyone else.

At that moment, the empress dowager Su Qing, who was in the brocade palace, suddenly became furious.

“”A bunch of trash!””

She shattered the jade cup in her hand with a clap. “”It’s only getting rid of a host and guest official who can’t even cultivate. Killing a scholar, a dozen people and a magical beast … they were actually all killed by someone else!””

Su Zong, who had already been promoted to general, bowed his head and said, “”Empress Dowager, don’t worry. I will send more men to investigate this matter clearly tonight.”” As long as Li Yenian is still in the city, I will definitely find him and bring him out of there. “”

Su Qing remained silent for a while, then said, “”Tonight, it’s best to finish the business. Many people from Li Yenian’s family died, and when the fire broke out, the people from the Fang family and the Ministry of Justice went to investigate.”” If he couldn’t find Li Yenian before dawn, then Fang Shoudao would be determined to be the culprit for revenge. He could simply arrange for Li Yenian to be his enemy. “”Tomorrow morning, all of our people will be in front of the city gates. We’ve set our sights on them and will absolutely not allow Li Yenian to leave Fang Shoucheng!””

“”This subject understands!””

Su Zong turned around and left, his footsteps very hurried.

It was only killing a rank 5 official, yet it caused such a huge commotion, causing Su Qing Qian to be extremely angry. Not even killing Zhuge Yan caused any trouble, but a mere rank 5 official was enough to make half of the people in the city unable to sleep.

Su Qing turned around and saw the young man who was so scared that he started trembling. She took a breath and walked over, “”It’s none of your business, there’s no need to be so scared.””

He was a beautiful young man with a strong and slender body, chest muscles, abdomen muscles, and sharp edges. The most important thing was that one part of him was so big that it was a bit outrageous.

Empress Dowager Su lay down in the arms of the young man, gently stroking the object. “”Look, it scared the hell out of me … what a pity.””

When she said that it was a pity, she really felt that it was a pity.

This was her favorite one, but unfortunately, she had heard about Li Yenian and had no choice but to kill him.

She lowered her head and put it in her mouth, then mumbled, “”Let it be fierce, let me have a child, a child of yours.””

She wanted a child.

And the Swallow King had already been dead for many years, yet she had the guts to do so!
