Repugnant Gateway 2, page 68
This was a true expert, An Zheng was a little nervous. An Zheng had tested the effects of the black oil-paper umbrella before. Not only was it able to perfectly cover a person's body, it was also as flawless as air. What was even more amazing was that it could even conceal a person's aura, allowing them to be in a flawless stealth state.
In terms of grade, such a good item would at least be at the peak of Red rank. But in An Zheng's opinion, it could still be barely considered a Golden-Rank. The reason why the grade evaluation was slightly lower was because the black oil-paper umbrella had no other effect but to become invisible. And upon reaching the Lower Completion Stage realm, powerhouses would no longer be able to use such a magical equipment.
The most terrifying thing was that the things in Chen Shaobai's hands seemed to be endless. Thinking about the Bronze Bell that he gave to An Zheng, it was probably a demonic equipment from the Ancient Era.
It was precisely because this black oil-paper umbrella was too perfect that the reaction of the two people that An Zheng arrived at the same time was sufficient to show the strength of these two people. But very quickly, An Zheng saw the doubt in their eyes. It was clear that they also only felt that something was amiss and didn't really notice An Zheng's blade.
The white gowns worn by these two people were extremely gorgeous. The most eye-catching one was the embroidered word on the left shoulder. It looked like a large, blooming peony flower.
They successfully found Ma Ziwei, but An Zheng did not know how to make a move. The strength of those two experts from the Embroidery Palace were too strong. If he met with two Captive Stage experts, even if An Zheng had a heaven-defying tool, he wouldn't have much confidence. Moreover, once they started fighting, even more experts would be attracted to it. By then, it would even be difficult for them to escape.
An Zheng stood there and fell into a dilemma in an instant.
At this time, Ma Ziwei suddenly stood up and stretched his back, then left the desk and walked outside.
"What is the lord going to do?"
The younger expert of Embroidery Palace asked.
Ma Ziwei said: "People have three needs, they can't exactly hold it in."
His tone was unpleasant and he obviously didn't have any good impression of these two either.
"We'll accompany you."
The older Embroidery Palace Ranker said without a doubt and followed Ma Ziwei.
Ma Ziwei laughed coldly as he walked, "Lu Tianghui, Zhao Ziya, do you want to help me take off my pants in a while?"
The younger man was called Zhao Zishan. He answered without any expression, "If sire wishes to order us, we will do so."
Ma Ziwei coldly snorted and increased his pace, the two people following closely behind didn't move an inch away.
Lu Tianhui said, "If you feel unwell, you can only endure for now. His lordship also knew that this matter was of great importance. The Empress Mother could not bear to be mistaken. Her Excellency must have thought of the situation before he made his decision. Master, wait a little longer, Chen Zaiyan and the rest's heads will fall to the ground. By then, he could eradicate his hidden accomplices, and the lord would be free. After all, the empress dowager is still thinking about your safety. "
Ma Ziwei sarcastically said, "Then I'll have to thank the empress dowager."
Zhao Zishan said expressionlessly, "In my opinion, isn't the lord being a little too sentimental? Since you made the decision yourself, why be a woman? He wanted to get everything he could get, and he also wanted to show his integrity … "It's a little ridiculous."
Ma Ziwei's footsteps paused: "Are you talking to me?"
Zhao Zishan said, "Do you want me to confirm it again?"
Lu Tianhui glanced at Zhao Zishan, "Don't be rude to our lord."
Zhao Zishan sneered and said, "I was just trying to be honest. I just said a few words. And I've already said them in a very tactful manner." If I say it again in plain words, it would be to want to build a chastity arch after being a whore. "
Ma Ziwei's expression was already unsightly to the extreme, but there was simply no way he could get angry.
"Please, milord."
Zhao Ziya pulled open the bathroom door and said, "If you need me to untie my pants and pull out my pants, please do so. If you need me to clean your butt, I will not refuse."
With a loud bang, Ma Ziwei closed the bathroom door, causing the dust on top of the door to fly off.
Lu Tianhui said, "You too, why fight with him?"
Zhao Zishan said, "You and I have been so carefree in the palace, yet you came all the way here to serve him. He even had an unsatisfied look on his face. Without you and me, who knows how many times he would have already died. Did they really think that the experts loyal to Chen Zaiyan in the army were useless trash? Still, don't try to set up a chastity arch when you're a whore. Since he had already made his choice, there was no need for him to act so fair and square. Without the Embroidery Palace at the back, what the hell is he? "
Kacha, no one knew what Ma Ziwei had smashed into in the bathroom.
Then, with an 'aiyo' sound, Zhao Zishan and Lu Tianhui exchanged glances and opened the door at the same time … Ma Ziwei was gone.
Beside the two of them, with a wooden door in between them, Ma Ziwei disappeared into thin air.
Lu Tianhui and Zhao Zishan's expressions changed. Zhao Ziyan abruptly turned around and threw a punch into the air, "Appear!"
This punch had no purpose, An Zheng just happened to be behind them. That fist strike was so overwhelming that An Zheng had no choice but to retreat hastily. With a thought, the four Holy Fish Scale s were summoned out of the Blood Pearl Bracelet and formed a protective barrier in front of them.
Even so, under the immense force, An Zheng's body still uncontrollably flew backwards. He tightly gripped the black umbrella in his hand, which was why he did not show himself.
Ma Ziwei had already disappeared, obviously there was someone else helping. An Zheng did not dare delay any longer, he ran out of the Ministry of War Yamen as fast as he could, and ran to the end of the street to shout at Du Shoushou: "Ma Ziwei has been kidnapped, let's quickly retreat!"
Then, he saw Du Shoushou looking at him with an incomparably strange gaze, and then, Du Shoushou lowered his head to look at him … He was carrying a person in his hand … The unconscious Ma Ziwei.
Chapter 192 - Distance
Du Shoushou's confused expression made An Zheng confused as well, but he didn't have any time to hesitate. An Zheng lifted Ma Ziwei up and started to run wildly. Du Shoushou subconsciously followed after him. Fortunately, the army did not react in time, the two Embroidery Palace experts were still searching the courtyard.
An Zheng and Du Shoushou ran very far away, not daring to stop for even a second. An Zheng ran as he asked, "How did you come here?"
Du Shoushou said: "If I said I wanted to transform into a living person, you probably wouldn't believe me, right? I … God damn it, I don't know. You told me to wait there for you, and then someone tapped me on the shoulder from behind and said hello. And then I had something in my hand, and I looked at it and saw it was a fucking living man. "
Fortunately, there were no pursuers, An Zheng and Du Shoushou saw an abandoned house not far away, it should be an old house that had already been moved away or even had no people left. The two of them jumped into the room one after the other.
The room was dusty and dry. The smell of the door opening was unpleasant, but they didn't have time to care.
To them, running this far was nothing, but Du Shoushou was panting because he was too nervous.
"What is going on?"
An Zheng asked.
Du Shoushou panted as he replied, "I really don't know. I told you just now that someone patted my shoulder and said hello. Then, there was another person in my hands, and that person was Ma Ziwei. At that time, I was still thinking, could it be that Ma Ziwei knew that we were going to capture him, so he ran out to find me? "He gave me a pat on the back and said hello, then stuffed himself into my hands?"
An Zheng: "This answer is really reasonable."
Du Shoushou sat there breathing heavily: "Otherwise, could it be that I am the one who conjured it?"
An Zheng thought about it, the only possibility was Chen Shaobai.
Just as he was deep in thought, the door creaked open from the outside. Du Shoushou subconsciously jumped, the Triton was summoned out by him in an instant, and subconsciously he was about to attack.
An Zheng grabbed the Triton and then pointed at the umbrella in that person's hands.
Black, with a yaksha pattern on it.
"What are you trying to do?"
An Zheng looked at the person who entered and asked.
The person who entered put down the black umbrella was indeed Chen Shaobai. really wanted to punch him until his jaw was crooked.
"You left the umbrella at the door for me?"
An Zheng asked.
Chen Shaobai nodded: "Other than me, do you think there's anyone else who would treat you so meticulously? I feel like I'm your spirit guardian god, as long as you want me to give. But you have no respect for me. Even if I were a lamp, you'd have to make a wish to me. Your attitude makes me a little disappointed. "
An Zheng said: "You gave me two umbrellas, allowing us to enter the military. Then, you stole Ma Ziwei out of the army headquarters. Since you could f * cking steal the person out, why did you return me an umbrella? "
Chen Shaobai: "If you say it like that, then you don't even have a little bit of conscience. What kind of spirit was this? Putting aside such a big mental level, just speaking of something more realistic … At the very least, you should thank me with a bow. "
An Zheng: "Your head."
Chen Shaobai: "Can you look better?"
An Zheng said: "Hurry up and answer me."
Du Shoushou asked from the side, "Who is this guy? Why does he look a little familiar to me?"
Chen Shaobai smiled at Du Shoushou: "The reason you think I look familiar is because handsome is a man's pass."
Du Shoushou said: "What you said makes sense..."
Chen Shaobai said: "The reason why I gave you the two umbrellas and stole Ma Ziwei out of the Military Department was because I … I think it's very fun, hahahaha … "Yes, that's right. It's that simple."
An Zheng sighed: "If it wasn't because you suspect that I am unable to defeat you, do you believe that I wouldn't be able to beat all of your seniors from last year?"
Chen Shaobai said: "Don't talk about this, as the sole savior of the military, you should hurry up and interrogate the criminals, you still have the mood to flirt around with me … Pfft, small talk. You are the only hope for Wang Kaitai and the rest, aren't you afraid that you will fail to live up to their trust in you? "
An Zheng said: "What I'm more curious about is why you have been helping me this whole time."
Chen Shaobai: "If I wanted to speak of friendship, would you believe me?"
An Zheng shook his head. "You and I had some sort of friendship back then."
Chen Shaobai: "What about love?"
An Zheng: "Scram!"
Chen Shaobai looked at Du Shoushou with his brick in his hand: "If he doesn't believe you, do you believe him?"
Du Shoushou hesitated for a while, looked at An Zheng and then looked at Chen Shaobai: "I … You don't believe me, right? "
Chen Shaobai: "The tone of your question is very good, it fully shows the hesitation in your heart … Alright, I'll be honest with you then. The reason I've been helping you is because you've unknowingly been helping me with something big. What is the most secure relationship between people? Don't talk to me about friendship and love, that's bullshit. The most secure relationship between people is to exploit each other at a time of value. "
He looked at An Zheng and said seriously: "Even though you don't know what happened, you can think this way. The reason why I'm helping you right now is just to repay the fact that you've been helping me. Don't you feel a lot better now that you think about it? "In short, I don't owe you anything, nor do you owe me anything. It's just a relationship of mutual utilization."
An Zheng said: "I don't use you as a subjective tool, so the relationship you're talking about is bullshit."
Chen Shaobai: "Then just take it as me bullshitting. You got help in the end anyway. In other words, I just didn't want to thank you, so I gave you back what I owed you. "
After he finished speaking, Chen Shaobai turned around and walked out. "Furthermore, to be able to look at you in such a high and mighty manner while being the savior of the world, and see how busy you are while I'm at it, is truly enjoyable."
He walked to the door. "Enjoy the pleasure that my own strength brings to me. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why everyone wants to become stronger."
He threw the black oil-paper umbrella in his hand into the air and the black oil-paper umbrella instantly grew larger, covering the entire old house within it. "Just calmly stay here in this old house, do what you need to do."
An Zheng said: "I don't want to owe you so much without knowing the reason."
Chen Shaobai laughed and said: "Idiot …. As I said earlier, I still owe you a favor. Therefore, you can enjoy all of this peacefully, just like a pie falling from the sky, or like three fresh stuffing. It's not a fake three-fresh filling made from leek, eggs, or shrimp, but shrimp! "
After saying that, Chen Shaobai leapt onto the wall, "Oh right, do you remember what I told you a long time ago? Grand Autumn Ceremony, you will still see me again. As for what kind of me you see, that's hard to say. Maybe I'm standing right in front of you, so you won't even recognize me. "
"However, it's best if you don't join the Grand Autumn Ceremony. "With your stubborn personality, you won't be able to do anything that leaves you in the lurch."
Before An Zheng could say anything, Chen Shaobai had already disappeared.
Du Shoushou asked curiously, "Just who is this mysterious guy, he looks a little familiar. But no matter how I think about it, I just can't remember where I've seen him before. "
"Chen Shaobai."
An Zheng replied.
Du Shoushou was startled for a moment, "Chen Shaobai? This name sounds familiar … The heck, are you talking about that Chen Shaobai from the Fantasy City? "
An Zheng nodded: "That's him."
Du Shoushou looked outside in shock: "This guy can't have really fallen in love with you …"
An Zheng rolled his eyes at Du Shoushou, then squatted down and pinched the back of the unconscious Ma Ziwei's neck. A groan came from Ma Ziwei's throat, and then, he slowly opened his eyes. When he saw that the person in front of him was An Zheng, he crawled back in shock, "An Zheng … What are you trying to do? "
An Zheng said: "Master Ma, of course you know what I want to do."
Ma Ziwei said while trembling: "You should also know very clearly what you're doing. You're kidnapping an official of the imperial court like this, don't you know the consequences? On account of you, I'm an old friend, I … "I don't mind, but you have to send me back to the military immediately."
An Zheng said: "If it was under normal circumstances, what would a good person's party do to someone like you? A reasonable persuasion? I let you know that what you did was wrong, and then waited for you to repent, reveal the truth, and save those innocent people at the most critical time? "
"No, no, no …"
An Zheng reached out and pinched Ma Ziwei's arm: "I don't have that much time, I'll have to trouble you to tell me exactly what happened now."
Before Ma Ziwei could say anything, An Zheng exerted some force on his hand and with a crack, one of his arms was broken.
Ma Ziwei cried out in pain, then began to howl crazily, "Someone come! Help! "
An Zheng said: "This place has already been sealed by magical equipment, you can call out anything you want but no one will be able to hear you."
He sat cross-legged across Ma Ziwei and grabbed his right hand, "I'll repeat myself once more, I don't have time to chat with you."
With a "ka" sound, An Zheng broke Ma Ziwei's thumb: "Speak, or don't you want to speak?"
Ma Ziwei's forehead was full of sweat from the pain, and his body couldn't help but tremble: "I … I don't know what you're talking about. "All I know is that you've kidnapped a military official and that you're using lynchings to force a confession."
An Zheng laughed: "That's right, you're completely right."
With a "ka" sound, An Zheng broke Ma Ziwei's index finger, "Actually this method is rather boring, but fortunately for a person, there are a total of 20 branches, and I heard that breaking a toe hurts more than breaking a finger."
Ka, his middle finger was broken as well.
Ka, the ring finger was broken.
Ka, his pinky was broken.
Then, An Zheng put down Ma Ziwei's right hand and picked up his left hand.
"I'll tell you!"
Ma Ziwei's face twisted from the pain, beads of perspiration the size of beans rolling down his forehead. As the vice minister of the military, how could he bear such pain? Furthermore, An Zheng didn't even give him the chance to say it out loud before his five fingers were broken.
Ma Ziwei supported his right hand which had five severed fingers, his body was trembling as though he had fallen into an ice cave.
"This matter... Actually, it was all to topple Chen Zaiyan. "
Ma Ziwei grinned and said, "The witnesses and evidence that Great General Su Zong brought back from the Youguo are actually all lies. great swallow's army was advancing arrogantly on the frontline, as they had already slaughtered their way into the heart of the Youguo. Youguo was being attacked from the shadows. He sent people to Da Xi for help, hoping that her people would come to mediate the war. However, the journey from Youguo to Da Xi is a long one. When Daxi Shenghuang really sends people to mediate, I'm afraid that the Youguo has already been annihilated. "
