Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 1517 – The demon

At this moment, there were too many people lining up outside of Daxing City waiting to enter the city, especially since there were at least a few hundred people gathered at the city gates. There were too many people waiting to enter the city, especially since there were at least a few hundred people waiting at the city gates waiting to enter the city. Yes, it was a massacre.

The arrows that were shot out by the crossbows were not aimed at An Zheng and the rest, but at them.

At this moment, An Zheng suddenly understood why these commoners lining up outside the city would be so afraid of the Eagle Shadow Army when they saw it … This wasn’t the first time the Eagle Flying Shadow Army had killed someone like this.

“No.”

Just as An Zheng was about to attack, the monk suddenly raised his hand and stopped An Zheng. The moment he raised his hand, all the arrows that were flying towards him stopped in mid air, and the Eagle Flying Shadow Army that was charging in formation had no choice but to rein in in their war horse.

The leader, the cavalry general, urged his horse over. He looked at An Zheng and then at the monk.

An Zheng did not know that in this era, the upper echelons of society had an extremely strong reverence towards the Buddhist Sect. At this time, the Buddhist Sect had entered the Central Plains from the Western Regions.

The general jumped down from his horse and cupped his fist towards the monk. “Master, what is the meaning of this?”

The monk frowned, “What do you mean by killing?”

The general smiled. “Killed people? Those were not humans at all, they were just like locusts … The master is a merciful person who helps the world, but as a soldier, what I see is different from what the master sees. These people … You give them rules, they’re sheep, you don’t give them rules, they’re wolves. Master might not have seen it before, but when a group of seemingly docile commoners suddenly become bandits and criminals, if we do not suppress them in time, they will become the source of disaster. ”

The monk shook his head. “They are just ordinary people. They just want to enter the city.”

“They are refugees.”

The general harrumphed, “Refugees are not human beings.”

The monk frowned and clasped his hands together. “General, please be lenient.”

The general nodded his head, “Although I do not know where the great master came from, I have given them face. I will not kill them today, but those few people … “If you kill my soldiers, I must take them away.”

He raised his hand and pointed at An Zheng, Monkey Dada Ye and the other two.

The monk shook his head: “They … “He’s my friend. He’s here to help me.”

The words of a monk seem to be extremely difficult to say. To him, it could mean that the monk was lying. A monk cannot lie. Thus, when he said these words, he felt that his crime had worsened.

“Then let me ask you, where is the master going?”

“Stay at the King’s Manor.”

The monk nodded slightly. “Something has happened at the Residence of Prince Liu. Let me go take a look.”

At first, he only showed slight respect to the monk, but after hearing these words, his attitude became one of reverence and reverence. He retreated a few steps and clasped his hands together, bowing towards the monk, “This lowly one doesn’t know that the Great Master and your friends are guests of the King’s Manor. This lowly one requests your forgiveness.”

If he wasn’t wearing the armor, he would have already knelt down.

The monk waved his hand. “There’s no need for this. Just let us in.”

That general hastily waved his hand. “Escort the master and the others to the Duke’s Mansion!”

An Zheng and the others were completely confused. Why did these domineering Eagle Flying Shadow Army people sound like they saw a cat when they heard the name “Duke Liu Palace”?

A troop of cavalry soldiers immediately turned around to lead the way, and the general bent down to respectfully send An Zheng and the rest there. Only after knowing that An Zheng and the others had disappeared did he finally stand up, his forehead was covered in sweat, and there were obviously lingering fear.

The monk seemed to be able to discern the doubt in An Zheng and the others’ eyes, and as he walked, he explained in a soft voice: “Prince Liu Li Chengtang is the current Emperor’s third son, and everyone says he is His Majesty’s most capable son. He led troops in battle when he was young, and took over the Eagle Flying Shadow Army. The people on the enemy’s side, though they are the people of the song. ”

“Over the past twenty-six years, the number of lives in Prince Liu’s hands has been no less than a few million.”

When the monk said these words, it was obvious that he was having mixed feelings.

His eldest brother, the crown prince, Li Chengyuan, was afraid that his position as crown prince would not be preserved and kept saying in front of his majesty that if his military power was too great, even if he had any ill intentions, it would be an uncontrollable disaster. However, Li Ye was also rather fearful of his third son, Li Chengtang is holding the strongest army in his hands, and the majority of the generals and generals were extremely respectful towards him, and many times, these generals would disobey his orders without listening to his orders.

An Zheng and the others were suddenly enlightened, the Eagle Flying Shadow Army was Li Chengtang’s, no wonder those cavalry soldiers changed their appearances the moment they heard the two words “Duke Liu Palace”.

Logically speaking, it should have been the imperial city which was located in Shunguo back then. However, once they reached the manor, An Zheng and the others realized that it was only a very ordinary courtyard house, which was only slightly bigger than the courtyard of an ordinary commoner. It was also not located on the most bustling street, and was slightly more remote.

Before the monk entered, he lowered his voice and said, “Back in Chang’an City, I was worried day and night about Prince Liu rebelling, so how could he not know about it? That’s why he has always kept a low profile …” If he were to live in the imperial palace of the previous dynasty, it is hard to say how many people in Chang An City would say that he had a rebellious heart. ”

An Zheng thought to himself, these people from the royal family sure are tired of living.

The purpose of that troop of cavalrymen escorting them to the King’s Manor was, first, to express their apology and respect, and secondly, to see if they really came to the mansion. If not, these cavalrymen would not hesitate to make their move.

When the monk arrived outside the residence of Prince Liu, he took out a letter from his backpack and handed it to the man guarding the gate. When that person saw the letter, his expression immediately changed, because the letter was specially written by Prince Liu’s mansion, and was also specially written by His Highness, the King himself, which meant that the letter inside the envelope was personally written by Prince Liu.

That person did not dare to delay any longer. He first invited the monks and the others into the courtyard and then ran all the way to the backyard.

The courtyard was divided into the front and back courtyards, but that didn’t add up to much. It was at most four acres of land and over two thousand square meters. Towerful prince, this was considered very simple and crude.

The courtyard wasn’t big, but it was elegant. Upon entering, one could see two sides of bamboo plants, verdant and verdant, with many birdcages hanging in the middle of the bamboo forest. The birds’ chirps were extremely melodious and melodious.

Not long after, the steward ran back and apologetically said to the monk, “Master has been waiting for a long time. Your highness has personally come to welcome you.”

Just as they were talking, they saw a young man who looked to be twenty-seven or twenty-eight walking over with large strides. Prince Liu, Li Chengtang, actually seemed to be about forty years old, but to cultivators, forty years old could really be considered very young.

He walked with the wind and walked with the vigor of a tiger. Having been leading soldiers all year round, he had developed a habit of walking like this. Each of his steps carried a decisive and murderous aura.

The moment Da Da Ye saw this person, he subconsciously stood behind An Zheng. It was not because he knew him or anything, but because he felt the dense killing intent from Li Chengtang’s body.

“Master, please forgive us.”

Li Chengtang walked over quickly, clasping both hands: “Master did not inform me before coming, I should have sent people to welcome you instead. We have worked hard on this journey, Master.”

The monk said, “It’s not hard. Being able to work for the people is never hard.”

What he said was, he would work for the people.

King Liu, Li Chengtang, did not seem to care about the meaning behind his words, he grabbed the monk’s hand and walked back, “I have already sent people to prepare the Ramadan. Master will follow me back to the study room to sit down and drink some tea.”

The monk was dragged along by him, but he was too embarrassed to refuse.

An Zheng lowered his voice and said to the monkey: “Be careful, although Li Chengtang’s eyes just swept passed you a moment ago, I can see that he’s looking at you in a strange way.”

Monkey harrumphed. “Why are you afraid of him?”

An Zheng said: “After he looked at you, he extended his hand out to pull the monk, it is deliberately attracting people’s attention. His other hand made a gesture, and now, the number of people in the bamboo forest has increased by at least one fold, and more are approaching.”

Monkey said, “A motley crowd. It doesn’t matter how many there are.”

She seemed to be especially opposed to this place. When An Zheng held her hand, the center of her heart was cold.

They followed Li Chengtang and the monk into the study room. Only then did Li Chengtang pretend that he had just seen them, and said apologetically: Sorry, sorry. I was only concerned with entertaining the masters, and neglected the few esteemed guests.

The news from the city gate was naturally already there.

An Zheng nodded his head: “We are here to help master.”

The monk did not speak. To him, every sentence that was said in a disingenuous manner seemed to be a challenge to his character.

If that’s the case, then I won’t beat around the bush. If you have anything to say, then speak frankly. Gu Shenwei has been leading the army for so many years, so he has developed a straightforward character.

Li Chengtang sat down and laughed: “Actually, it’s quite simple … After a while, royal father is going to bring a group of officials to visit Daxing City and stay there for a while. I have already told the master in my letter that … I suspect that my royal father has been bewitched by the demon at his side. All these years my royal father’s personality has changed drastically, saying words that would bring about the wrath of heaven, all these years there have been so many rebellions … It’s most likely related to the imperial edict, and that demon is the culprit. ”

He looked at the monk and said, “I would like to invite Grandmaster Qing to help me take a look at what exactly it is.”
