Chapter 697 - Unknowing Reverence

Chapter 697 – Unknowing Reverence

Seeing that Su Ruhai could still joke around, An Zheng knew that the matter of him rejecting the decree was already in the past.

It all depended on what the order was. If the Sacred Emperor ordered a person to lead the troops, they would definitely be decapitated if they disobeyed it. If the rewards bestowed terson by the Sacred Emperor were too generous, he wouldn’t dare to accept it out of fear. Normally, he wouldn’t even bother with such a decree.

An Zheng had been in the Da Xi world for too long, and he understood Chen Wunuo too well.

Su Ruhai walked in front, An Zheng followed behind, and the two of them continued to chat. Right at this moment, a young eunuch approached with a small package in his arms. Behind him were two people wearing dark blue imperial bodyguards’ clothing.

“Hall...” Your Highness! ”

Su Ruhai immediately stepped aside and bowed.

An Zheng was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized that this little fellow was Chen Wunuo’s youngest child, Princess Chen Ye Hua. Chen Yehua was Chen Wunuo’s only daughter, so he loved his the most. However, recently I heard that Chen Wunuo is going to betroth her to that Yuwen kid that An Zheng met once. Moreover, this was the way of the people in the Northwest. A married princess might not be able to live a comfortable life.

An Zheng could tell that Yuwen Wuming didn’t really value women that much, other than his sister. However, Chen Yehua was Chen Wunuo’s only daughter. Even if Yuwen Wuming married her, he would still be trembling with fear.

“What are you looking at!”

Chen Ye Hua glared at An Zheng: “Haven’t you seen those who failed to escape?”

An Zheng possessed by his body and did not say a word.

Chen Ye Hua suddenly stopped and walked in front of An Zheng. He actually stretched out his hand and hooked An Zheng’s chin: “Come come come, let this princess have a good look at your face. It’s really pleasing to the eyes. Compared to the guy from the Yuwen family, it was much better looking. Sigh … Eh? You’re a Daoist, which sect are you from, to accept a female disciple? “I plan to go out. From now on, the lights are on and ancient buddhas are appearing …”

An Zheng: “Your Highness, that is a Buddhist sect.”

Chen Yehua waved his hand, “I don’t care what Buddhist sect or Dao sect they are, I just can’t stay here. “How about this, you bring me away now, and I’ll grant you the title of imperial bodyguard that raised the eyes of others.”

An Zheng: “...”

Su Ruhai immediately said, “Your Highness, this is a disciple of the Hollow Jade Temple’s Master.

“What palace?”

Chen Ye Hua retracted his hand, looked at An Zheng’s face, and couldn’t help but shake his head in praise: “It’s really nice to look at. A person like you can just sit there and let everyone see your face, look at the money you give, do you believe that you can even make a large sum of silver? How about this, let’s go together, you’ll be in charge of earning money, and I’ll be in charge of collecting money, alright? ”

An Zheng coughed.

Su Ruhai immediately tried to smooth things over. Chen Ye Hua walked away somewhat dejected, as he turned his head to the two imperial guards and said: “Don’t think that it was you guys who found me, it was me who suddenly didn’t want to leave. “Next time, hmph, I will definitely escape.”

An Zheng could not help but ask: “What is Your Highness doing?”

Su Ruhai said: “Sigh … Your majesty has truly been spoiled badly by your majesty. ”

After saying this, he knew that his words had slipped, and hurriedly shook his head: “Your Highness only loves to play, let’s hurry up and leave. His Majesty has already been waiting for you for a while. However, I have to remind you that your majesty was still angry at you for disrespecting the imperial edict. ”

An Zheng thought that it would be weird if he was angry, what Chen Wunuo liked the most were his subjects who were sensible, even if they pretended to be.

When they arrived outside the First Extreme Palace, Su Ruhai went in to inform the others. After a while, he came out and called An Zheng in. An Zheng entered the door, and without even raising his head to look, his hands stretched out horizontally before bowing down: “Your Majesty.”

Da Xi was not a country that one had to kneel to just look at the emperor. Furthermore, An Zheng was from the Dao Sect, so he could be considered an otherworldly cultivator.

Chen Wunuo put down the imperial report in his hand, raised his hand and rubbed his brow: “Earlier, Su Ruhai came back to say that Taoist was not willing to accept our gift to you, why?”

An Zheng replied, “It’s just that I was influenced by the lords present, I was moved. If those adults did not offer up so many Golden-Rank Spirit Stone and were still auctioning them off, I would probably still be bidding right now. But since those lords have done so, I naturally cannot accept the bestowal given by His Majesty as such, even though I really want it. ”

Chen Wunuo was slightly taken aback, and could not help but burst out laughing. “You sure are honest with your words … Forget it, I’m not angry. I’m just curious. Su Ruhai, bring a chair for the Daoist to sit down and talk. ”

When Su Ruhai saw the Holy Emperor smile, a huge boulder that was hanging in his heart fell to the ground. He immediately had the young eunuch bring a chair over. An Zheng did not reject, but he could not really sit down, and only sat in a corner to show his respect.

Chen Wunuo kept asking An Zheng a few questions about the Hollow Jade Temple, so of course An Zheng wouldn’t reveal any flaws. In this world, there was no one who knew Hollow Jade Temple better than him. Chen Wunuo had lived for long enough and stood at the highest point for a long enough time, so if one were to say who had the most experience in this world, he would definitely leave others far behind. Even the Buddha in the Great Thunder Lake Temple would not be able to do it. After all, the Buddha normally would not walk out.

“Hollow Jade Temple has disappeared for ten thousand years.”

After Chen Wunuo finished speaking, Chen Wunuo asked, “When will the Spiritual Master come to my Da Xi?”

An Zheng replied, “Master said he can’t come.”

“Oh? “Why?”

“Because the Hollow Jade Temple no longer dared to break the inheritance. Although Master was worried about the rampaging beasts of the Summoning the Spiritual World, the Hollow Jade Temple had experienced a calamity and almost had its entire sect annihilated. “After ten thousand years, I finally managed to recover my vitality.”

Chen Wunuo frowned slightly. “So the Hollow Jade Temple’s Master only wants to cultivate and has no responsibilities?”

An Zheng asked: “Whose responsibility is this?”

“The responsibility of a cultivator.”

“Is the duty of a cultivator to do this for His Majesty or for the common people?”

“For the common people, of course.”

“When the common people need it, my master will naturally come out. When Your Majesty needs it, he may not come out. ”

Chen Wunuo’s brows slightly raised, and his expression slowly became cold. So far, no one had dared to speak like that in front of him. Even the Fang Zheng back then would at most not say a word. But at this moment, Chen Wunuo was completely convinced of one thing... An Zheng was indeed a member of the Hollow Jade Temple, a cultivation sect that had existed for tens of thousands of years. He didn’t know what the power of the heavens was, nor did he know who was the ruler right now.

A person who lacked respect for Daxi Shenghuang was not an idiot, not an idiot.

Seeing Chen Wunuo’s face darken, An Zheng did not express anything. It was as if he naturally protected his master, and that was what he should do as a disciple, even though this master of the Hollow Jade Temple was fake.

When the topic reached this point, it seemed somewhat stiff. Chen Wunuo fell silent for a while, but still decided to change the topic. After all, that Spiritual Master could possibly be a Zhang Zhenjun of Mount Wudang.

“I heard that you went to the prince’s mansion yesterday.”

“Yes.”

“What did you talk about?”

“Talking about longevity.”

An Zheng’s answer was simple and clear.

Then he asked, “Does Your Majesty think that cultivators aim for longevity or power?”

Chen Wunuo suddenly laughed: “If a cultivator could live forever, how could he not have power? You said he didn’t want to live in seclusion because he didn’t want to. But if he wants to, he can do so anytime. ”

An Zheng nodded and did not say anything else.

Chen Wunuo said: “It’s fine if you don’t want what we give you. Leave the Ming Fa Si’s land, at least it will be an explanation to the commoners. You should know that I have given the edict of sin … What do you think is wrong with a king who has given himself a crime? ”

“A lot of people deserve to die.”

An Zheng’s answer was still simple and clear.

Chen Wunuo: “Should I die?”

An Zheng shook his head: “That is what His Majesty’s enemy is thinking, I do not know.”

Chen Wunuo was not angry at all, “Then do you know that the person who caused us to commit such a mistake was the person you saw yesterday, our son? I have decided to cripple his throne and give him the punishment he deserves. It was said that justice might be late, but it was never absent. But you went to see him yesterday, do you not believe that justice will come? ”

“How pathetic would it be if justice came too late?”

An Zheng sighed: “Anyone can say that, your majesty cannot say it.”

Chen Wunuo realized that if he continued to chat with this young man, he might get angry. was very clear that the reason why justice came late was because he, the Sacred Emperor, warash.

“Go back.”

Chen Wunuo waved his hands, “We will tell the people of the Jinling Mansion that the land you have chosen will be paid and settled according to the prices on the Great Xi market. Initially, I had thought that if you could speak, I would just give yolace other than the Ming Fa Si which I didn’t give you. ”

An Zheng got up and bowed, “Thank you for your consent, Your Majesty. If I really took His Majesty’s land, I wouldn’t dare to say such words again. Even if I were to mention Master, I would not dare to defend it. ”

Chen Wunuo nodded, “You protecting your master means that you have loyalty in your heart. This was great. Many people did not know why they were loyal, what loyalty was, or who they should be loyal to. Honored master, revered master, respected heaven and earth … At least you know that. “But I don’t like you. I really don’t like you.”

An Zheng cupped his fists and said: “I will take my leave.”

He turned around and walked forward, his daoist robe fluttering in the wind.

After An Zheng left, Su Ruhai walked in with his head lowered and said: “Your Majesty, this person does not know the rules, and does not know his place. Do you want this servant to give him a warning, or do you want someone else to give him a warning? ”

“It’s jusall stone.”

Chen Wunuo didn’t seem to be angry at all, “He doesn’t have a scheming mind or a shrewd mind, we actually really like this kind of person. I said I didn’t like him because I couldn’t let him think I liked him. I have said before, the imperial court needs a new batch of people. Left Swordhall is dead, just in time, tomorrow I will make Yuwen Wuming take the position of Left Swordhall, and become a Temple General … Furthermore, the people from the Violet Firmament Hall in the Wudang Mountain were not as respectful to me, as the young Daoist just now … What Zhang Zhenjun pursues is the natural way, which is a good way to put it. To put it harshly, it is to put on an act of being noble and noble … This Chen Liuxi can be used to make the people of Violet Firmament Palace feel that we are reusing the Hollow Jade Temple. Then, the people of Zi Xiao Palace would naturally be anxious and the fake Qing Gao would be torn off by himself. ”

Su Ruhai lowered his head and asked: “Then what does Your Majesty mean by this?”

“Pick oulot of land for him in the best location in the capital and have the Department of Revenue allocate some silver to build the Hollow Jade Temple.” Big, big. It was so big that people in Mount Wudang would be jealous. If people were to be jealous, their bottom line would be unconsciously lowered. However, he could not allow the Hollow Jade Temple to rise just like that. Whether it had the ability or not, there was no point in saying it out loud. The people of the white tower view do not seem to like him. Go ahead and reveal that we do not like Chen Liuxi, the people of the white tower view will naturally do so. ”

Su Ruhai asked: “What if the people from white tower view do not have the heart to carelessly kill him?”

“So be it. What’s the use of us keeping the trash?” The people of white tower view killed him, he waiece of trash. He killed the people of white tower view, the trash of white tower view. ”

Chen Wunuo waved his hand: “Go and arrange it, we still have a lot of matters to take care of … The battle with Xu’er in the south was quite smooth. I promised him that I would marry Yuwen Wuchen to him. ”

At this time, Yuwen Wu Chen, who was mentioned by the Holy Emperor, was waiting outside An Zheng’s residence.
