Repugnant Gateway Chapter 163

Gao Yuan was the Gao Family's manager in the open, the grandson of the highly regarded and extremely mysterious old lady of the Gao Family.

Those who didn't know much about the Gao Family thought that the Gao Family only had this kind of Mister Gao, but those who were familiar with the Gao Family knew that Gao Yuan Lake was only the Gao Family's Second Mister, and that there was a Mister Gao Family elder who was even more mysterious than the Gao Family's Old Granny.

Some people said that the twelfth grade was in charge of the daily affairs of the Gao Clan.

As for Mr. Gao's cultivation, it had already reached an extremely terrifying level. It was the Gao Family's Soul-Lock Needle.

Rumors of Mr. Tall had been around for years, but no one had seen Mr. Tall.

With such a mysterious situation, coupled with the fact that the Gao Family held a bunch of imperial officials' accusations in their hands, the Gao Family's position was as stable as a gigantic wars.h.i.+p.

However, even though the incident this time did not seem like a big deal, what he offended was not the other big s.h.i.+ps, but the water.

The common people are the water. No matter how big a s.h.i.+p is, it still has to sail on the water.

Once the news of the Gao Family's suspected child trafficking got out, this gigantic battles.h.i.+p would be like being hit by a huge wave. At that time, the other big s.h.i.+ps would only need to be hit once, and the Gao Family's big s.h.i.+p might fall.

Therefore, Gao Yuan was very worried, because he knew that this matter was far from over.

If the dispute were wiser, it would be resolved in secret.

But the war was too high-profile. Killing people in casinos, killing them one at a time, killing them all in a river of blood.

This matter could not be hidden after all.

Facing such a problem with the strength of the Gao Clan, there was no other way to suppress it.

However, what gave Gao Yuan a headache this time was that the att.i.tude of the palace seemed to be a bit abnormal. After the gambling house started a ma.s.sacre, An Zhe sent a message to the East Warmer Pavilion, telling An Zhe to go immediately.

Thus, Gao Yuan's original plan to beat An Zaiyue up had to be delayed. The Gao Family had openly lowered their heads at An Zaiyue, but they couldn't lose face for their big families. Thus, putting An Zaihai to death was already part of their plan.

Now the plan had to run aground, and no one knew if it would continue.

Just as Gao Yuan was worrying about this matter, someone came to the palace and told him to go to the East Warm Pavilion of the Extreme Heaven Palace immediately.

Gao Yuan did not dare to delay and rush over. Although the King was only a puppet, if anyone looked down on the puppet, he would not end up well.

By the time Gao Yuan rushed from his home to the East Warm Pavilion, the sky was already dark. The bright lanterns in the palace dazzled his eyes, and he had the nagging feeling that they were sharp swords hanging in the air, ready to pierce down at any time.

A chill ran down his spine as a bad premonition arose in his heart.

In the East Warming Pavilion, Gao Yuan saw an argument.

There was still no struggle over changing clothes, and the blood on his body seemed so shocking under the light of the lamp.

The stench of blood emanating from An Zeng's body was much lighter than the scent of sandalwood in the room.

Gaoyuan Lake sniffled subconsciously. Then, he felt as if a stream of blood had entered his nose and entered his brain.

Mu Changyan, who was sitting on a chair, reviewing the pet.i.tions, looked up at Gao Yuan and said casually, ""It's still not too late.""

Mu Changyan touched her face habitually as she spoke. There was a faint black line on it. If one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't be able to see it.

An Zaiyue had already seen how fierce this poison was when he was still in the Illusory World. Mu Changyan was probably still alive today because he had the antidote to maintain him.

However, the poison had not been completely dispelled. It could only mean that he could not even make a decision about his own life.

Gao Yuan bent down and said, ""Your Majesty, I do not dare to come late.""

Mu Changyan sat up straight and stretched. He put aside the reports in his hands and said, ""The war in the southeast is about to start. I haven't slept for two days and two nights.""

Gao Yuan lowered his head and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Mu Changyan, ""But you guys are making me even more annoyed because of some small matters!""

Gao Yuan's shoulders trembled slightly as he quickly lowered himself and said, ""This commoner is guilty, please punish me.""

Mu Changyan sneered, ""You can't call yourself a commoner. Even though your Gao Family hasn't seen anyone enroll in many years, you still have the t.i.tle of a marquis.""

Gao Yuan kneeled down and said, ""This subject is guilty.""

Mu Changyan looked at An Zaiyue before looking at the Gaoyuan Lake, ""I said a few days ago that no one could disturb the Eastmarch in the Great Yan Dynasty.""

Whether it was a personal grudge between the two of you or a misunderstanding, this matter will end here.

I'm still worried about the army food, and I don't have the time to waste on small things like you. ""

Gao Yuan hurriedly said, ""The Gao Family has already prepared 1,000,000 taels of silver, and 50,000 stone grains and fodder. They have already been purchased from various places and will be handed over to the military.""

Mu Changyan's expression eased up a lot, ""Your Gao Family's contribution to Great Yan, I will always remember.""

Six years ago, your Gao Family donated eight hundred thousand taels of silver and fifty thousand taels of stone for the war against Yongguo.

Eleven years ago, your Gao Family sent eight hundred sons to the battlefield to serve the country. There were also hundreds of people who rendered meritorious service.

""These people are still on the battlefield in the eastern border.""

He stood up and stretched his hand to pull up Gao Yuan: ""I think you know very well that the Great Yan is stable, so is your Gao Family.""

""If the Great Yan were to be in turmoil, the Gao Clan won't be able to take care of itself.""

Gao Yuan replied, ""Every member of the Gao Family is a citizen of Great Yan, a citizen of the King.""

Mu Changyan nodded, ""That's good then. This matter is over.""

""In addition … your Gao Family's donation of silver can be directly mentioned to the Military Department to hand it over to Chen Zaiyan. As for the rations … it will be difficult for the Military Department to allocate manpower for transportation within a short period of time.""

An Zhe said from the side, ""The materials that this subject has gathered during this period of time have been handed over to a carriage shop called Jingyuan.""

Mu Changyan frowned, ""Is there any vehicle or horse shop in the capital that can transport large amounts of goods to the border?""

An Xuan King continued, ""The king may not know much about the recent events in the capital. I heard that in order to support the war, someone paid for a convoy to transport goods to the eastern border.""

Mu Changyan was moved, ""Why would Great Yan be unhappy to have such a commoner under his rule?!""

He turned to look at the lake and said, ""Go back and take a look at this carriage. If possible, give them the food.""

""This kind of people, the imperial court can't let them down either. When they get back, I'll get the Ministry of Revenue to allocate a batch of silver coins as a reward.""

After saying that, he waved his hand, ""I have a lot of things to take care of. You two can go back now.""

The two of them talked face to face. What could not be solved?

""This subject obeys your command!""

Gao Yuan and An Zeng looked at each other, then bowed and said their goodbyes.

After exiting the East Warming Pavilion, Gao Yuan looked at the calm lake in the distance and said, ""Sect Master An, your business is great.""

An Zhan smiled and said, ""I'll do business, clean.""

Gao Yuan laughed, ""That's because it's not big enough.""

An Zhan nodded, ""Mister Gao, you're right.""

Gaoyuan Lake quickens its pace, no longer wanting to walk side by side with An Wei.

After walking for a short distance, the Chief Eunuch of the Embroidery Palace, Li Changlu, came over from afar to stop him. The two of them whispered to each other for a while before Gao Yuan left with Li Changlu.

An Zaihai gazed at the back of the lake, clearly aware in his heart that the conflict between him and the Gao Family could not be resolved so easily.

Even though Duke Yan, Mu Changyan, expressed his att.i.tude and Gao Yuan lowered his head, the Gao Family would not accept the huge loss of face for the Gao Family.

However, An Zaixin would not regret this. He would do these things for Lang Jing, and he would do these things for Xiao Qishan. There was nothing for him to regret.

As he was walking back, he felt something strange.

He stood at the side and looked around, noticing a fat middle-aged man leading two young men as they quickly walked towards the Heavenly Temple.

Ann had met the fat middle-aged man and knew that he was the only Minister of Rites, Ding Erlang, who had not been pa.s.sive until now.

The two men who followed him were familiar, for he had beaten them both.

One was Ding Huan's eldest son, Ding Taichun, and the other was his second son, Ding Shengxia.

And that strange feeling came from Ding Shengxia's eyes.

Afterwards, An Zhe felt that the bronze bell he brought with him was ready to move.

There seemed to be a strange aura coming from Ding Shengxia that made An Zhe feel uneasy.

In particular, Ding Shengxia's eyes looked much more confident than before.

Although he was still far away, he could still feel Ding Shengxia's strong desire to tear him apart.

Moreover, there was a vaguely familiar feeling.

An Xuan ignored him and left the Heavenly Temple with large strides.

He was anxious to go back and see Rang-Jing. He didn't know how he was doing.

When he returned to the sect, Lan Jing was still unconscious.

Qu Liuxi pulled Lan Jing's hand and came out of the room where Lang Jing was resting. She lowered her voice and said, ""I've already reconnected his broken arm. Although it will be a bit inconvenient in the future, it won't prevent him from cultivating.""

However, the internal injury was too heavy. The person who injured him was far stronger than him, and it directly injured his dantian's Qi Sea.

If he didn't have a good pill, he was afraid that his cultivation realm would continuously drop.

""Even if you seem to have recovered, you will never have the chance to improve again.""

""The Gao Family gave me a gold rank pill, but I crushed it.""

""I will treat your injuries, I will look for the pills.""

Qu Liuxi said, ""If it was just a pill, it wouldn't be difficult.""

Without the gold, I can make up for it with more white or even red pills.

Lan Jing was raised by a wild beast. Strangely, there is something very close to a wild beast in his body … ""

She looked left and right, ""An ordinary cultivator's dantian's Qi Sea will be strengthened after their cultivation advancement.""

However, I found the inner core in Lang Jing's dantian's Qi Sea … In other words, he cultivated the crystal core.

This was very strange. Only demon beasts could cultivate crystal cores, so why did Lang Jing also have crystal cores in his body?

Now that the crystal core has split open, I presume that if he wants to completely recover, what he needs is not only a medicinal pill but also a demon beast core that is suitable for him. ""

""Whatever it is, I'll find it.""

I didn't know Rang-Jing very long, but he trusted me, so I can't let him down. ""

Qu Liuxi nodded, ""I know, I will give you a list. Follow the list and find these items. I will try to refine a pill.""

""With everything prepared, the only difficulty in refining it is that my pill furnace is too low in grade, it might explode.""

Anyone who knew a thing or two about pill forging would know that not only would the pill cauldron explode, but there would also be deaths due to its destruction.

An Zaixin recalled the information Zhuang Feifei told him … Li Changlu had a little starpattern meteorite in his hands, it seemed that he had to speed up this matter up.

He looked at Qu Liuxi and said, ""Before I find you a better pill furnace, I forbid you from taking the risk to refine that pill.""

There was no doubt about it.

Qu Liuxi's face reddened slightly as she nodded her head, ""I … got it.""

An Zhan took a deep breath and said, ""I'll go take a shower and change clothes. Leave the pill furnace and the various crystal cores to me.""

You just take care of Rang-Jing first, you don't have to worry about anything else.

""Once again, before I find a better pill furnace, you are not allowed to take any risks.""

Qu Liuxi grunted, ""Uh-huh …""

An Chou rubbed Qu Liuxi's small head and then went into the room to wash his face and rinse his mouth.

He began to think about how he could get rid of Li Changlu as soon as possible, and get the Star Pattern Steel as soon as possible.
