Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 151

An Chengli glanced at An Zhe. ""You"re not even giving me a cup of tea?""

When the tea was ready, he poured a cup for himself and leaned back with the cup in his hand.

He seemed to be very relaxed here, but in the palace, his back was always bent.

Humans were different from humans. An Zhe had seen Li Changlu bending his waist at all times, and he had also seen An Chengli bending his waist at all times.

There was a huge difference between these two people.

Li Changlu bent his body, purely bowing and kowtowing.

As for An Chengli, he bent his body as if he was on guard at all times.

""The tea is so rotten.""

""You"re so rich, why don"t you buy some good tea?""

An Xuan said, ""The more expensive the tea, the less tasty it will be. I like the stronger one.""

An Chengli smiled and shook his head. ""I won"t enjoy my life even if I have money. I"ll send someone to bring you a packet of new tea when I get back to the palace.""

""Every year, the people of the Gao Clan will buy good tea from the Da Xi and send it to the Heavenly Temple and the Embroidery Palace. Each time I get exposed to the light, I can get a few bags of it.""

He placed the teacup down, ""Now tell me about Li Changlu, you also know that us people entering the palace has something in common with entering the sect, and that is to get to know a master.""

In a place like the palace, it was much more dangerous than the sects.

It"s easy to get things done with a master.

""Li Changlu and I entered the palace in the same year, and we are the same master.""

An Xuan was stunned. Just a moment ago, An Chengli said that Li Changlu was his master, and now he said that the two were the same master. It was obvious that there was some contradiction between them.

An Chengli seemed to be able to see through his doubts, and laughed at himself, ""But Li Changlu knows how to operate. When he follows master, he will make master happy.""

I was different. When I first entered the palace, I was very submissive. I didn"t pay attention to words or expressions, nor did I kiss a.s.s. Thus, Master treated me coldly.

""Later, Master angered the empress dowager because of a major matter that he didn"t do well.""

""What is it?""

An Zeng asked.

An Chengli smiled. ""You are really curious … When a prince arrived at the Da Xi that year, Big Yan naturally didn"t dare to treat him slowly.""

During a banquet, my master accidentally spilled a gla.s.s of wine on the Prince"s clothes.

""At that time, the empress dowager trusted my master. In the brocade palace, my master was the best.""

""However, no matter what happens, everyone has to see the occasion. That cup of tea ended my master"s future and also ended his life.""

He felt that this wasn"t a big deal. At that time, he bent down to wipe it off for His Highness Duke of Qin, but in the end, the prince said … that it was fine if the wine wasn"t dirty.

You"re dirty. Get out of here. ""

An Chengli shook his head. ""My master has always been spoiled by the empress dowager, so he was about to leave in a huff.""

As a result of this, the Empress sent for him to be beaten forty times in public.

Forty tablets, my master was originally arrogant because he was favored by others, so he was not very popular in the brocade palace.

Which of the torturing eunuchs had not been bullied by him?

""So, those forty plates, they"re pretty much solid.""

""He is also an uncultivable person. After taking forty slabs, he has almost lost half of his life.

After all, those people knew they couldn"t really beat him to death, or else the empress dowager wouldn"t be able to explain herself.

When Li Changlu and I helped Master back, Master scolded us as we walked.

Li Changlu gave me a look that I did not understand at the time.

Li Changlu glared at me and scolded me for not looking for medicine for my master. ""

""I rushed out to find some medicine. When I came back, Li Changlu was crying while hugging his master"s corpse. He was crying his heart out.

""I asked what was going on, he said that Master was humiliated and couldn"t think of a way to commit suicide … Hehe, I was also a fool then. I clearly saw the big b.l.o.o.d.y hole on Master"s forehead and the handprint on Master"s neck, but I actually believed Li Changlu"s words.""

""But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it was Li Changlu who killed my master.

Later, the Empress Mother promoted Li Changlu.

""And Li Changlu knew that I had already understood what had happened that day, so he forced me to acknowledge him as my master. If he didn"t, he said he would find a way to kill me.""

An Chengli said politely, ""Although I"m a bit stupid, I know when to lower my head.""

So I accepted Li Changlu as my master. Because of this, the people in the brocade palace mocked and ridiculed me for a whole year. ""

He asked, ""Do you know why they didn"t mock me afterwards?""

Anjou shook his head.

An Chengli said, ""Because I became one of the King"s people, he promoted me to be an imperial eunuch.""

An Chengli took a sip of tea. The tea was not good, so it was very bitter.

Because of the bitter tea, he felt that his mouth was no longer bitter. ""It just so happened that the Empress Mother needed to be placed beside the King. I knew that this was the only chance I had to break away from Li Changlu"s control, so I ran to recommend it.""

I didn"t expect the empress dowager to actually agree and let me go to the Heavenly Temple.

""Of course the king knew that I was sent by the empress dowager to keep an eye on him, so he intentionally promoted me, a young eunuch who didn"t know anything, to be an imperial eunuch. Of course, he also acted for the empress dowager.""

An Chengli was thirsty, so he finished the tea in one gulp. ""Therefore, no one in the embroidered palace dared to mock me again.""

His posture was elegant, so elegant that even the harshest court official could find no fault with it.

An Zaiyue suddenly realized that a person could change so much.

The imposing aura of a young eunuch could be seen on his body.

An Chengli seemed to sense An Zhe"s gaze, but he also misunderstood An Zhe"s expression.

""I know you must be thinking why a person sent by the empress dowager like me has become the emperor"s confidante … I know you"re not stupid, so you only need to think carefully to understand the crux of this matter.""

""Because you don"t want to die.""

An Chengli laughed out loud. ""Just say that you"re not an idiot. That"s right, I don"t want to die.""

If I tell this to the fools, they must think, my G.o.d, that you betrayed the Empress and betrayed Li Changlu, they will kill you.

Yes, but that"s what people think.

""However, I don"t want to live in fear every day, nor do I want to die at Her Majesty"s hands without knowing when.""

""What"s the only way?""

Of course, I"m not more obedient. My master is not obedient?

He was dead.

""So the only way is, of course, to make the Empress Dowager fall and Li Changlu fall. Only then can I be truly safe.""

His little finger was upturned, more beautiful than a woman"s orchid fingers.

At this moment, he didn"t know what to say.

Is An-Cheng-Li a villain?

No, he was just a man who wanted to change the future with his own abilities.

Was there a mistake with An Chengli"s choice?

It wasn"t really, but there were even some resolute ones that were somewhat valiant.

""Since the King has let you enter the Vermillion Bird Camp, you might not know what the Vermillion Bird Camp is.""

An Chengli took a sip of tea and said, ""This is a big plan. The people involved and the matters involved are incalculable.""

And the King is deliberately making you an important part of the Vermillion Bird Camp, but the King feels that he does not feel your loyalty to him.

You should know how much pressure the King has to protect you, even to give you a higher position, a better future.

""What do you think you should do in return?""

Anne shrugged her shoulders.

An Chengli said, ""I don"t know much about the martial arts world, but I"ve heard some things about it.""

It is said that a man who wants to go into the mountains and become a new member of a band of bandits is not a casual man.

What was that word?

""Oh … vote.""

He looked at An Zhe and said, ""It"s just a small bandit group, and the newcomers want to vote for them. What do you think you should do now?""

""Can I opt out?"" he asked.

An Chengli smiled, and his smile was especially bright. ""Do you think that after I said these words to you, you still have any room to retreat?""

""You know my past and my thoughts, and you also know the King"s thoughts, so you only have one way left to go.""

He looked at the teacup in his hand and smudged his face with the steam.

You can kill people in anger for others, or you can go through fire and water for others. Can"t you just make up your mind for yourself once?

You should know that since the King wants to use you, and he wants to use you, it means that he already cares about you a lot.

The Star Condensation Department was the military"s property, so Zhuang Feifei was a member of the military. So the military didn"t know about Zhuang Fei Fei Fei killing Su Feiyun, and Chen Zaiyan was the only one who knew about it.

""Since Chen Zaiyan knows, then of course the King will know as well.""

An Zhan also wanted to laugh, because the threat of An Chengli was a little too low.

An Zeng did not smile, and even made a contemplative expression.

He was deep in thought, not because of An Chengli"s threat, of course, but because he had discovered an opportunity.

He had come to Fang Cengcheng because two things had to be solved.

The first was Auntie Ye. She had been rescued from the Heavenly Prison. Although the escape plan was not perfect, it had, after all, come to an end.

The second thing was about fighting for his own safety. He wanted revenge.

Some people said that the grudge of killing one"s father and stealing one"s wife was the most unforgettable thing.

Actually, there was an even more unforgettable thing, and that was that he had been killed … This was a paradox. After being killed, what could not accept it?

Anjou was killed, but he did not die.

Therefore, his desire for revenge was more direct and pa.s.sionate, and that was for himself.

He now knew that his enemy was his former friend Prince Da Xi, Chen Chong. However, Chen Zhong was the main culprit, and there were many accomplices as well.

If An Zhe wanted revenge, he would have to search bit by bit.

His power wasn"t good yet, so he couldn"t go to the Da Xi.

But he could find out who was involved in the Yan Dynasty, and then find one to get rid of the other.

Now that An Chengli had said these words on behalf of Mu Changyan, from his att.i.tude, it could be said that he was a threat to the conflict. But now that he accepted it … because he also needed such an ident.i.ty to pursue what happened back then.

An Chengli saw that An Zeng didn"t say anything. He smiled and continued, ""It"s no problem for a man to be a little tougher. Although I"m no longer a complete man, I know the importance of the word "backbone" to a man.""

If a man lost his backbone, he might as well be a dog biting for his bones.

However, there was no conflict between their courage and their future.

What I said before seemed a bit unpleasant, but it was precisely because I wanted to be honest with you that I said it.

""If it"s anyone else, I just need to outline a bright future for him.""

""It"s not the same to you. You"re important.

""If you think that agreeing to me now is a sign of discouragement for you, then I"ll give you time to think about it. There"s no hurry.""

He stood up, put down the teacup and said, ""Later, I will ask someone to give you a package of three thousand sprouts per catty.""

An Zaiyue smiled as he expressed his grat.i.tude, ""What if I get addicted to it and can"t get used to my bitter tea?""

An Chengli said, ""When you get used to drinking the lotus heart and the Da Hong Pao, don"t you know what to do?""

An Zhan laughed as well, ""Eunuch An, take care.""

An Chengli nodded and slowly walked out of the room.

When he reached the door, he turned around and glanced at An Zeng, then asked, ""Does your family have a very powerful medicinal master, and even a girl?""

An Zeng frowned.

An Chengli pointed at the bandages on An Zhe"s body. ""Ding Wanqiu"s strength is very strong. Your injuries don"t seem to affect you much, so your family should have a very strong pharmacist.""

""As for why I know it"s a girl … It"s because the bow was tied beautifully.""

An Zeng looked at it and could not help but smile bitterly.

Before An Chengli left, An Zhe suddenly asked, ""Is Li Changlu enough?""

An Chengli asked, ""Is what enough?""

""Vote your name.""
