Graceful Duty Chapter 21: Night, Stars Fall

There is a town called Anlingyi in the northeast outside Chaoge City.

Not far away from Anling is the Shouling of Emperor Huizong of the Great Zhou Dynasty. According to the system of the Great Zhou, each emperor's Shouling will have an additional tomb next to it, and those who move here are all wealthy families within the empire.

It is also raining continuously in Anlingyi tonight, and there are also people hiding in the night in Anlingyi.

"Brother, the agreed time has come, but Su Mu and Mo Qianyu haven't arrived yet. Are they suspicious?"

There is a high-rise building in the town, and Zhuang Ance is right next to the window of the high-rise building.

"I have been keeping an eye on Zhao Zhitang and Mo Qianyu. They have not behaved strangely since I came back," Zhuang Ance said confidently.

The man next to him looked at the patter of rain and the sound of rain hitting the green tiles, frowned and said: "However, it is extremely difficult to really keep an eye on Mo Qianyu and Zhao Zhitang. I thought,

Something is fishy."

Hear this.

Zhuang Ance's face was visibly disturbed.

The man continued to persuade: "Brother, I'm afraid things are over, so we should retreat. Zhao Zhitang no longer trusts us, so as not to fall into the trap."

"Wait a little longer!"

At the Zhenwu Conference, he failed to kill Su Mu as planned. Now, he was unwilling to fail again in this plan against Mo Qianyu.

For this reason, he also transferred here again the officials who wanted to kill Su Mu.

At this moment.

Suddenly, a notice came from outside the door, "Brother, Fei Yu and those officials want to see you."

"No, let them wait for me," Zhuang Ance said impatiently.

"Brother, actually I think it is very dangerous to take those officials with us,"

The man decided to persuade Zhuang Ance to give up tonight's plan from another angle, "Just think about it, the imperial court has arrested many high-ranking officials in Shuozhou, including the governor. Fei Yu, as the censor, was not imprisoned.

Isn’t that strange?”

"I've thought about this too,"

Zhuang Ance said: "The reason why you are suspicious is because you don't know who is standing behind Fei Yu."

"who?"

"Master Yudaotai Yudao,"

Zhuang Ance said seriously: "Now the emperor is practicing in seclusion on the Lingxiao Tower, and the government affairs of the court are handled by the eldest princess and several prime ministers. They don't want to offend Yudaotai."

Actually, in the outside world.

His Majesty the Emperor has not climbed to the Lingxiao Tower and is still in the palace.

The matter itself was very secret, and even Su Mu and the others only found out about it through the prince.

I don’t know where Zhuang Ance learned about it.

"But..."

"Okay," Zhuang Ance stopped the man from continuing, "You have to know that it is absolutely impossible to kill Mo Qianyu and other recognized geniuses in the mainland without enough power, let alone Zhao Zhitang, I need

The power of those who serve as officials.”

Zhuang Ance still vividly remembers the incident of chasing Mo Qianyu in Zizi Mountain.

The means that that woman possesses are really too perverted.

I believe that Mo Qianyu today would find it quite difficult even when faced with a real person from the Cave Void Realm.

...

Chaoge City, ruins of the ancient Shang Zhaixing Tower.

It is said that when the ancient Shang Kingdom was destroyed by the Zhou Dynasty, Daji burned herself on top of the Zhaixing Tower.

This high-rise building that cost a lot of manpower and material resources, a high-rise building that could pick up the stars with one's hands, was used to observe celestial phenomena and communicate with the gods, was destroyed.

In subsequent dynasties, in order to commemorate the greatness of this building, it was preserved.

Even in the chaotic age of Great Zheng, the mortals who fought endlessly and the monks who constantly snatched resources did not destroy this place.

After the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, several miles around the Zhaixing Tower site were designated as a restricted area.

From then on, the identities of those who could enter the Star-Zhaing Tower ruins were by no means simple.

now.

There is a fluctuating space on top of the ancient tree that survived the fire in the ruins.

Within the space, there are rivers of stars flowing through it.

That galaxy is the one above Chaoge of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

On the bank of the Milky Way, stood a woman dressed luxuriously and with elegant manners. She was the eldest princess.

"Your Highness, Qin Tianjian came to report that Fei Yu and Shushan disciple Zhuang Ance joined forces. As Mr. Su said, it is indeed strange."

"How weird?"

"Back to Your Highness, according to Mr. Su's statement, Zhuang Ance's plan was to capture Wu Xuan of the Wushen Cult, but Qin Tianjian did not find the presence of Wu Xuan in Anlingyi,"

The palace maid said seriously: "On the contrary, Qin Tianjian found the aura of Wu Yan, a disciple of Wu Xuan, around the formation arranged by Zhuang Ance."

"It seems that this Zhuang Ance is really weird in every aspect. I thought there was something wrong with him at the beginning,"

The eldest princess reached into the galaxy, grabbed a star, moved it, and said slowly: "However, I don't want to pay attention to any grudges between him and Su Mu. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes, Fei Yu and the others are indeed involved with the Wushen Sect. The woman named Wu Yan has a close relationship with them. In addition, that Wednesday in the teahouse, Zhao Zhenren and others should have taken action by now."

"Don't disturb them now, let them catch them,"

The eldest princess moved the stars to the sky above Anlingyi and said slowly: "Just go and get rid of the dirty things here."

"Where's Zhuang Ance?"

The eldest princess was silent for a moment and said: "After all, Zhuang Ance went to Shushan with the order of his father. Although this person is full of weirdness and there must be big problems, we have no evidence that he violated the law.

Let Su Mu and Shishi play with him."

...

Above the rainy sky in Anlingyi, a bright star suddenly appeared on the rainy night.

In the building, Zhuang Ance, who was becoming more and more uneasy, suddenly clenched his fists. He rarely did anything he was not sure about in his life, especially tonight. His certainty had never exceeded 70%. In the past, he would not have taken the risk.

.

At this moment, the possibility of success has dropped to 10%. Reason is constantly telling him that he should leave, but he is still hesitating.

Because Su Mu and Mo Qianyu were in control of their own lives, he could not always rely on His Majesty's decree to delay Su Mu and the others.

This hesitation lasted until he suddenly saw a bright star appear in the rainy night.

"Let's go! Let's go quickly!" Zhuang Ance said decisively.

The man next to him was overjoyed, "Okay, I'll go and inform the witch girl right away."

"Don't inform her. Keeping her will give us time to leave."

On a rainy night, the stars twinkle.

Among them, the lowest are monks in the realm of refining gods who descend from the sky from the stars.

In a forest somewhere outside Anlingyi, fire lin beasts, controlled by imperial soldiers, surrounded Anlingyi.

This army is the Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guard of the Great Zhou Dynasty, also known as the Fire Lin Army!
