Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 230

A chosen saint?

Anjou didn’t think it was a good job.

There were at least a hundred items in this secret room, and each one was a treasure.

Not to mention that the outside was full of things from the courtyard, just the treasures sold in this room would be enough to cover the military expenses of hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the frontlines and millions of peasants.

However, in the Yan Kingdom, these things were not suitable for sale.

An Zhan thought for a while, then said, “”The best way is to sell it to the people from Da Xi. They might lower the price a little. The bottom line is 20%, if they are willing to buy it, then they will sell it all.””

If too many good things appeared in one move, they would also depreciate. However, he didn’t have the time to think about this right now.

The Grand Yan was short of money, and desperately short of money.

“”And only the business of the Great Xi can eat so many things in one go.””

An Zaiyue looked around. “”I’ll make a bid. The head storekeeper will check and see if there’s anything wrong with me.””

Zhang Yifu repeatedly waved his hands. “”I don’t deserve this. I’ll go along with you.””

An He began bidding for all the items in the secret room. There were over a hundred items, so he didn’t use them often.

After some rough estimations, this sum of money was enough for the citizens of Great Yan to enjoy a beautiful month.

Zhang Yifu reminded Zhuang Fei, “”These things are too valuable. Fortunately, only the few of us know about them. Once they are leaked, with our current staff, we won’t be able to protect them at all.””

An Zaixin thought for a while and said, “”How about this, I’ll arrange for people to send the stuff to Da Xi and find a well-reputable auction house to take it.””

Silver taels were collected in different parts of the Da Xi territory, and then transported to the front line in batches.

“”Also, take out a sum of money and buy things directly from the Da Xi.””

Zhuang Feifei nodded, “”I will go report to Mister Chen tonight.””

Seeing that everything in the room had been read, he turned to leave.

Then she saw the sullen Gu Qianye. She looked around, but she still couldn’t find what she liked.

An Zaiyue looked around, there really wasn’t anything suitable for Gu Qianye.

However, at this time, the cat that was in thin Du’s arms suddenly meowed at a corner. Thin Du quickly turned around, not daring to let Zhang Yif see his eyes.

Zhang Yifu and Zhuang Fei were busy, so they didn’t mind.

An Zaiyue walked over and discovered that it was the shield he had just seen.

Previously, when he picked it up to take a look, he discovered that it was a demonic artifact. An Zhe didn’t think that it was too valuable, so he didn’t pay too much attention to it.

The good grandpa cried out and the stars in his eyes started to circulate. Clearly, this item was not ordinary.

An Zeng took a closer look and realized that the shield seemed to have a small mechanism. He pressed it, and a white bone unexpectedly popped out from the shield.

It was half the size of a palm and looked like an arm bone.

An Zaiyue turned around to look at Gu Qianye, only to discover that even Gu Qianye himself didn’t notice the pendant floating up from her clothes.

An Zeng hurriedly stuffed the white bone that was like a piece of white jade back into the shield, then he stuffed the shield into Gu Qianye’s hands, “”This is your gift from sister Zhuang.””

Gu Qianye’s expression darkened, “”Good for perfunctory …””

“”Just play with it.””

Gu Qianye asked, “”Do you want to use it for your meal?””

An Zhan said, “”Barbecue is fine.””

Zhuang Feifei walked over and put her arm around Gu Qianye’s shoulders, “”Don’t bother about him, Sister Zhuang will give you another small gift.””

She took out something from her sleeve, it seemed to be a beautifully made wooden box, “”This thing can’t be classified as anything, because it doesn’t belong to us, nor to Da Xi, nor to the three thousand buddhist kingdoms in the Western Regions, but to the red fur country in the north.””

It was said that the cultivators there were not called cultivators, but mages.

“”This thing is actually quite fun. It can’t kill enemies or defend, but it can be used to escape.””

Gu Qianye opened the exquisite wooden box and found a scroll inside, “”Painting?””

“”No, scroll.””

Zhuang Feifei said, “”It’s the same way as the better things on our side to recognize the owner, it’ll be fine as long as you drip your blood.””

The only thing this thing can do is set up a location, like your home.

When you are in danger, you activate this thing, and it will take you back to your house in an instant. “”

An Zeng saw this kind of thing when he was at the Da Xi: “”The red fur country’s teleportation scroll, it’s an amazing thing.””

After the cultivators of the Da Xi had obtained a scroll, they had gathered at least a few dozen master artificers to copy it out. Unfortunately, due to the lack of language and the lack of knowledge on cultivation techniques, they were ultimately unsuccessful.

To be honest, although the item you gave Xiao Yezi cannot be evaluated as a grade, according to its value, it should at least be a gold grade item. “”

Qu Liuxi replied, “”That’s none of your business, I gave it to my sister.””

What, you want to pay and turn it into a gift from you?

“”Don’t even think about it.””

An Zaiyue only felt embarrassed. He had a lot of things he couldn’t explain to Zhuang Fei, such as the white jade bone in the shield, which must have something to do with Gu Qianlin’s finger bone.

This was related to Gu Qianye’s secret, and An Zaiyue didn’t dare to speak of it casually.

“”Let’s go out.””

Seemingly seeing that An Zaiyue was a little embarrassed, Zhuang Feifei pulled Qu Liuxi with one hand and Gu Qianye with the other, “”Let their man go out to work, let’s go back to our room and have some tea.””

Lil ‘Sis, I’ve been feeling a little sick lately. Can you help me take a look? “”

Qu Liuxi replied, “”Alright.””

Then, An He vaguely heard Zhuang Feifei say, “”Especially when that one came, his stomach hurt really badly. He would have to lie down for a while before daring to move.””

“”And in the recent days, I don’t know why, but I’m not allowed to come.””

“”What are they whispering about?””

An Zhan shook his head. “”How would I know about the affairs of a woman.””

Just like how you and I might not be able to understand what’s going on between us.

“”I want to shit. Are you coming?””

An Xuan said, “”You and I are good brothers, of course I’ll accompany you in such a brutal matter!””

The thin man glanced at him and the two of them trotted to the latrine. Fortunately, the latrine was large enough.

The two of them crouched down next to each other, and the skinny Du guy asked An Zhan, “”Do you think that this time, the Gao Family will be hiding in the dark, waiting for us to relax?””

An Xin nodded, “”I estimate that the Gao Clan’s people have never left Fang Gu City. This is a place where the Gao Clan has been operating for over a hundred years. These past hundred years should be enough for them to prepare for such a situation.

Perhaps not far from our home, perhaps not far from Empyrean Terminus Palace.

“”However, they will not come out for a short period of time, because everyone is currently guarding against the Gao Family’s counterattack.””

“”That’s good … Actually, I wanted to ask you about Xiao Qidao.””

“”What is it?””

Skinny Du hesitated for a moment before saying, “”A few days ago, when I was chatting with Aunty Ye, I asked her what she planned to do in the future.

She said she would see what Xiao Qidao planned to do, and she would support whatever Xiao Qidao wanted to do.

I was thinking, Xiao Qidao is the son of the former Crown Prince of Yan. If … If anything happens to Mu Changyan, Xiao Qidao will be the sole heir to the King of Yan. “”

An Zhan said, “”That’s right... The only one.””

“”I don’t think we should hide it from him. We have to tell him about his background. Although he’s only nine or nine years old, he already has his own thoughts.””

An Zhan smiled. “”I didn’t expect you to be so meticulous.””

“”I don’t know where I am,”” said Du.

Anjou glanced at him.

The skinny man flicked his butt and extended his hand. “”Did you bring a piece of paper with you?””

Just as Anjou was about to give it to him, Skinny Du farted for a full minute.

An Zeng was stunned for a moment before he said seriously, “”Did you blow it dry?””

“”What more paper?””

The two of them chatted softly as they walked out. At this moment, someone from outside asked to find them.

He said that the people from the Great Xi that had sent people to contact Ye Zichen just now had sent someone over, while An Zhe was wondering why they would come so quickly.

As he walked out, he noticed a young man wearing a bamboo hat standing there with his head lowered, so he couldn’t see his face.

An Zhan walked over and asked, “”Are you from the Qing Zhai Village?””

“”His speed is indeed fast.””

That person laughed in a low voice, “”We have been keeping an eye out for this batch of items. Knowing that we have arrived at the Gathering Merchant House, we also guessed that as long as we arrive at the Gathering Merchant House, we will be the only supplier of goods.””

“”That’s why, as soon as your men arrived at the Qing Zhai Temple, we should immediately contact them.””

“”Why don’t you look up?”” he asked.

That person smiled, “”I’m afraid I’ll scare you.””

He looked up, and the expression on An Zhe’s face immediately changed.

Tantache

Although they had only met once, Anjou had a deep impression of this person.

Commander of Great Yan’s Punishment Department, Tritchard.

The first time the two met was at the city gate of Fang Gu City.

At that time, Tantai Chun had brought people to stop the funeral procession led by An Zaihe. Later on, when he did not find anything, he brought a team of Tti to give the coffin a salute, and An Zaihe had not forgotten about it until now.

“”You’re actually … someone from the Da Xi family.””

Tantai Che asked, “”You’re not going to invite me in?””

Ann made an inviting gesture, and Tantych went through the door.

Zhuang Feifei had found a secret place, and since Tantai Cha’s identity was implicated, the three of them were the only ones present for the conversation.

“”Since I’ve come, then explain it clearly. I’m not afraid that you’ll know.””

Tantai Che took off his bamboo hat and smiled, “”I’m from the Da Xi family, that’s right.””

“”Qing Zhai is actually my business.””

This was out of everyone’s expectation. Who would have thought that Tantai Cha, as the head of the Board of Justice’s cavalry, was actually from Da Xi, and he was the boss behind the only auction house in Fang Gengcheng.

Zhuang Feifei frowned, “”Lord Tantai, why the Great Xi?””

Tantai Che said, “”This is my own … It’s not that I can’t say, but there’s nothing new about my own past. It’s just a drama that happens every day in those large clans.””

You all should know that the Tantai Family is a renowned family in the Da Xi family. Not to mention the other people in the Tantai family, just the members of the family alone would have over tens of thousands of people with the surname Tantai.

Of course, these tens of thousands of people were nothing in comparison to the size of the Da Xi family.

“”However, these tens of thousands … are all from the same family.””

“”Such a big family, of course not every young man can get recognition.””

He shrugged his shoulders and said, “”So, I might as well wander around by myself.””

Every person from the Tantai Clan that wanted to leave their clan and roam around would be given at least 10,000 taels of silver or at most 1,000,000 taels of silver.

“”I’m one of those people in the family, so when I left the Da Xi family, I only had ten thousand silvers.””

“”Is the Qing Temple all your property?””

Tantai Chen smiled. “”It’s all mine. Currently, there are six Qing Lodges in the Yan Kingdom. Fang Gu Cheng only has one.””

However, there are still a few hundred clans in the Da Xi family. “”

Zhuang Feifei’s expression changed, “”How long did Lord Tantai use it?””

Tantai said, “”Twelve years.””

After a moment of silence, An Zaihai asked, “”Why does Lord Tantai want to appear now?””

Tantai looked at An Ying. “”The weight of the Gathering Shang Manor is not enough for me to come personally, but you are.”””
