Chapter 212

An Zhe felt very painful. There was not a single part of his body that wasn’t in pain.

He wasn’t interested in this sort of promotion at all. As the former head of the Great Xiamang Mantra, he was definitely one of the ten most powerful people in the world.

The King of Swallow seemed to bestow a heavy reward to him, but to him, it was not attractive at all.

Besides, he hadn’t come for these rewards.

Since it was revenge, of course, he had to be decisive.

When you have a bit of strength, think of ways to take revenge. When you have a bit of strength, don’t hold back.

If you want to avenge yourself with the kindness of the world, then give me a fart.

Empress Dowager Su was the greatest enemy of An Zaiyue in the Yan Kingdom. If An Zaiyue didn’t have the strength to seek revenge on the Da Xi, then he’d first find out all the enemies of the Yan Kingdom.

The old struggle for peace had been held in high regard.

Now that there is a little more purity in the conflict, some people might think that the dispute is a little selfish … Please, this is revenge, not child’s play.

Two Black Tortoise Camp guards were waiting for him at the entrance. When they saw An Zeng coming, they helped him to a room in the guard’s office and helped him change into a different set of clothes.

It was a very stylish and elegant imperial bodyguard uniform. It was embroidered in black and had an almond yellow collar and cuffs. It made An Zhe look even more handsome.

Although he wasn’t exactly a pretty man, the heroic aura he emitted was rather lethal for girls.

An Chou received the longblade that symbolized the identity of a guard of Empyrean Terminus Palace. The pattern of the drifting clouds on the sheath seemed very solemn.

After hanging up the saber, An Zaihai’s mind went blank for a moment … It was as though he had returned to the state he was in when he was working at the Mystic realm.

He tried to make himself look unhurt. He walked steadily.

When the court officials who were rushing to the Empyrean Terminus Hall saw An Zaiyue, they all felt strange in their hearts.

That young man seemed to have become a fourth rank imperial bodyguard or vice commander with just a turn of his body. He also had the title of a first grade uncle, so how did he suddenly rise to such a high position?

He kept his head high and his chest puffed out as he walked into the great hall. He then walked all the way to the throne.

The teenager with the knife suddenly gave the court officials in the hall a sense of pressure.

He just stood there, but for some reason, he suddenly felt nervous.

The adults who thought that they were much more noble than An Zaiyue did not even dare to look An Zaiyue in the eye.

Not long after, King Yan, Mu Changyan, and his men came in from the side of the hall and walked quickly to the throne.

Mu Changyan glanced at the officials, then gave a slight nod to An Zhe.

Mu Changyan sat down and looked at the puzzled officials.

“”The only reason I let someone ring a bell to call you over is because this matter is too big, so big that it touches upon the very foundations of Great Yan’s kingdom.

The fighting on the frontline is making people anxious. Just now, our close friend the great general sent someone to report to us about the situation on the frontline. I’ve called you guys over so that you could all listen to him. “”

They didn’t know why, but when they heard that it was a war at the front lines, they all let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

Mu Changyan looked at the Great General Su Zong. “”Great General, you just returned from the frontline. Do you know this person?””

He pointed to Zhong Jiuge.

Zhong Jiuge felt that he would be nervous, but when he stood here, he realized that he actually enjoyed it a lot.

Then he said to himself, You were born to be a fucking genius.

He was not nervous at all. Instead, he was enjoying the thrill of this scene.

He knew that nothing would go wrong with him, because his appearance had been helped by Fang Dang.

An Zaixin had Skinny Du contact Fang Daozhong. Fang Daozhong described Zhong Jiuge as a mask, so even a familiar person wouldn’t be able to easily see through him, let alone Su Zong.

Su Zong glanced at Zhong Jiuge, he did know this person.

He nodded, “”Yes, I do. This is the personal guard of the general, Fang Xiaoshui.””

I saw him a few times when I was in the East. “”

Mu Changyan nodded, “”It’s good that you know him.””

Su Zong was stunned for a moment. He could vaguely hear a trace of ill intent from Mu Changyan’s tone.

Mu Changyan looked at Zhong Jiuge and said, “”If General Fang has asked you to bring him back, say it word for word. Do not leave him out.””

Zhong Jiuge cupped his fist and bowed, “”This official obeys your command.””

He stood up straight, deliberately didn’t even look at An Zaiyue, turned around and looked at the court official, “”The general told me to come back from the eastern border and report the situation to the king myself, not to pass the papers to the army, because some things might have gone wrong beyond everyone’s expectation.””

“”There is a high possibility that the military camp from the front of the Eastern Frontier to Fanggu City has been infiltrated by the Quiet People. All the information that was sent back to the capital in written form may have been tampered with.””

When he said this, the entire hall went into an uproar.

Su Zong coldly said, “”I already thought of it. Otherwise, why would I have rushed all the way back from the eastern border instead of using urgent reports?””

The military camp was under the jurisdiction of the military, and Chen Zaiyan and the others had already committed crimes of treason. It was only reasonable that such a situation now occurred in the military camp.

The culprits have already arranged everything. If I hadn’t discovered their conspiracy in the eastern border, they would have had a bigger plan.

“”From the very beginning, Chen Zaiyan insisted that he had malicious intents towards You Ye … His goal was to get Great Yan to transfer all of his troops over and then collude with You Guo to eliminate our Great Yan’s army in one breath. This way, You Ye can take advantage of this situation and destroy my Great Yan.””

Su Zong turned around and clasped his fists, “”Your Majesty, your subject asks that your Majesty immediately give the order to kill Chen Zeyan and the rest of the rebels!””

“”If a sinner like him doesn’t get rid of her, she’ll be worried.””

All of the empress dowager’s men followed suit. “”This subject asks that Your Majesty give the order immediately and kill the defector Chen Zaiyan!””

Mu Changyan smiled and said, “”This voice is uniform, as if it had been practiced before … Don’t be anxious, let Fang Xiaoxiao finish her words.””

Zhong Jiuge nodded, “”It is precisely because something happened in the military, and I could be controlled, that is why the general sent me, Xingye, to come back at the same time.””

The adults were worried about the country, and so was the lowly position … but the adults did not know that the military gang was no longer under the control of the military.

Sensing that something was wrong with the military, the general sent me to investigate and found out that from a few years ago, a very powerful force had gradually infiltrated the military camp and replaced the people that the military had sent to the military camp. “”

Su Zong’s face went pale, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Zhong Jiuge looked at Su Zong: “”When General Su came back, he stayed at Army Lodge the entire time. Did he discover anything amiss?””

Su Zong grunted but didn’t say anything.

Zhong Jiuge said, “”The general ordered us to investigate. We dare not slack off, so we led our scouts to investigate for many days. Since last year, we have been gradually infiltrated by the Gao Family.””

At first, I thought that this is the Gao Clan’s goods for the family’s business.

The transportation of goods was not the Gao Family’s business on the surface, but in reality, the government officials and soldiers who led from the borders to the major cities had already been controlled by the Gao Family.

Most of the freight traffic between the major cities had also been changed by the officers and soldiers.

“”In fact, many local officials and soldiers have turned into freight yards, responsible for distributing the goods to the convoy.””

“”But as the investigation deepened, it became clear that these officers were being controlled not just for cargo,”” he said.

The lowly officer took some men and intercepted a group of goods convoy that was sent to the front lines. After that, the army didn’t receive any news about the goods at all.

In other words, they were smuggled in the name of the army.

What made me even more afraid is … They actually have proof that they are out of seclusion. This shipment is for sending out the Yan Kingdom, and their destination is Quiet Nation … Do you all know what is in these goods? “”

Zhong Jiuge took out a list and handed it to An Chengli. “”Please take a look.””

An Chengli handed the list over to Mu Changyan, who read a page and flew into a rage. “”A bunch of traitors!””

An Chengli picked up the list of items Mu Changyan threw and then walked down to let the ministers have a look.

When the ministers saw the items on the list, their expressions immediately changed.

Zhong Jiuge continued, “”Millions of silvers, military equipment, armors, and two hundred maps of the Great Yan. These are all marked in great detail.””

All of these things must be sent to Quiet Nation.

If those things are just smuggled goods, then how do you explain the map? “”

There were no members of the Gao Family in the imperial court, but there were some who had close relations with the Gao Family.

Guo Wenli, Minister of Justice, said, “”This matter cannot be overstated. There is no conclusive evidence to prove that these items belong to the Gao Family.””

Such a big case needs a thorough investigation to make a judgment. “”

Someone echoed, “”That’s right, that doesn’t mean anything.””

Zhong Jiuge said, “”Your excellency is right, this doesn’t mean anything … but there is still a letter. It’s too urgent, this lowly official has always been hiding it and doesn’t dare to reveal it.””

He turned to look at Mu Changyan, “”Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your servant is worried that if this thing is exposed too early, not only will your subject die, you will also make your efforts go to waste. What’s more terrifying is that your influence might fall because of this.””

He suddenly unbuttoned his jacket and took it off. Something about his chest was noticed.

Zhong Jiuge clenched his teeth and cut open a wound on his chest. He took out a small oilskin packet from his flesh and opened it. He took out a folded piece of paper, “”This matter is of great importance, so this subject has been hiding inside the flesh.””

When he handed it over, blood flowed down his body. The scene was extremely shocking.

At that moment, Zhong Jiuge looked at An Zeng without leaving a trace. The meaning in her eyes was … Boss, did I have a pretty good hand?

An Chengli received the paper and quickly handed it over to King Yan, Mu Changyan.

Mu Changyan looked at it for a moment, then her face turned pale and her body trembled.

“”Bold traitor!””

He shouted angrily and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

An Zaixin sighed in his heart, thinking that Zhong Jiuge and Mu Changyan were both a drama.

An Chengli hurriedly helped Mu Changyan up. Mu Changyan’s hands trembled as she handed the paper over to An Chengli. “”Read it to them!””

It was a letter, a letter that the Gao Family had written to a very important official of the You Country.

The letter stated that the Gao Family had controlled most of the country’s court officials through the casino.

As long as the great army of Quiet Nation defeated the Swallow Army, the Gao Clan would be able to send these people to welcome the army of Quiet Nation into Fang Shoucheng.

At that time, the great army of You would effortlessly exterminate the entire Yan Country.

The letter also said that after many years of planning, it was finally about to be completed.

“”Blood... spewing blood!””

When Guo Wenli, the minister of the Board of Justice, heard that the letter had his name on it, his expression immediately changed, “”This is slandering me!””

He kneeled down. “”Your Majesty, please do not believe what is on it. Your subject is loyal to your Majesty, and the sun and moon can see through it!””

The Gao Clan plotted to rebel, colluded with the enemy, and killed my heart was obvious.

“”Your subject asks that Your Majesty issue an order for your subject to investigate the case!””

He knelt down and knelt down in a large area. “”Your Majesty, please don’t believe this rumor. This is a divergence between the Gao and You Families. It’s precisely to make me, the King of Great Yan, disagree, and to make us suspicious of each other.””

“”My lord, the Gao Family must not tolerate them doing such outrageous things.””

“”Your Majesty!””

“”We are willing to die to prove our innocence!””

“”This subject is not afraid of death, this subject does not want to be wronged!””

The group of people wailed as if they were crying for their fathers and mothers. Their loyalty could truly be seen by the heaven and earth.

An Zaiyan turned his head to look at Mu Changyan. He noticed that Mu Changyan’s lips were moving … He said those three words silently, with a good face.
