Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 98

Ding Shengxia stood up and shook off the clothes on her body. “”What bullsh * t officer, it’s nothing.””

He picked up his blade and just as he took a step forward, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

He couldn’t help but fall forward, unconscious.

The few people from the Grand Cauldron Academy hurriedly ran over to support him before quickly leaving the crowd.

On the main street, Zhang Dingbang’s two bodies were lying there. No one was interested in them.

At the intersection, a young man wearing a Grand Cauldron Academy uniform was standing there. He took out a large piece of gold and handed it to a passer-by. “”Help me bury that person’s corpse.””

“”Huh?””

The passerby froze for a moment, not daring to go.

However, looking at the heavy piece of gold, he couldn’t help but grab it over again. “”Buried where?””

“”Whatever.””

The people from the Grand Cauldron Academy said these two words, then turned around and left.

“”What a strange person.””

The passer-by with the money mumbled something, then turned to buy some clothes and some grass, and hired someone to take the body outside the city and bury it.

All in all, he had only spent three taels of silver, but what he had left was enough for him to live properly for a long time.

This person did not think about why the Fang family did not send anyone after someone had died on the street.

This young man who was called a freak walked around a street and arrived at the intersection. He happened to block Ding Shengxia’s group.

When the people from the Grand Cauldron Academy saw this person, they were all dumbfounded, trembling in fear.

“”Senior … Senior brother Su.””

One of the disciples from the Grand Cauldron Academy reacted first. He hurriedly bowed his head and clasped his fist. “”Greetings, Senior Brother Su.””

The one called Brother Su looked at Ding Shengxia and said to himself, “”Don’t send it back to the school. Just directly to Lord Ding, the vice minister of the Ministry of Rites.””

His son is dying, and he will think of more ways to save him. “”

Those people hurriedly nodded. “”We will follow Brother Su’s arrangements.””

This person was precisely the Su Feihu from the Grand Cauldron Academy.

“”Who asked you to kill An Xuan.””

he asked.

Someone quickly replied, “”This is … This is Principal Su’s explanation.””

Su Feihun nodded. “”When the people from the Grand Cauldron Academy came out to fight, the two of them even took turns to lose. How shameful.””

After saying this, he turned around and left. Soon, he was at the end of the street.

The rest of them heaved a sigh of relief, as if they had been granted amnesty.

One of them asked, “”Will Brother Su go find that An He and get back our lost face?””

Another person shook his head. “”An argument … It’s not worth Senior Brother Su taking action himself.””

“”Senior Brother Su’s goal is already at an even higher place.””

“”I heard that Senior Brother Su has already broken through the Ascending Realm?””

“”What’s so special about that? Even if Senior Brother Su has reached the state of prison, there’s nothing special about it. That’s Su Feiheng, the unique Su Feiheng between heaven and earth.””

These people didn’t dare to tarry. They carried the unconscious Ding Shengxia and ran to the home of Vice Minister Ding.

An Zhan followed the six Thousand Revolution Commanders and walked forward. He could not help but ask, “”The guy you just taught is surnamed Ding, so how could he be so domineering. Is he the son of Deputy Minister Ding?””

“”Yes sir!””

The lieutenant who was walking in front of him did not even turn his head as he replied with a single word.

“”Then you still dare to attack so heavily?””

An Zeng asked with a smile.

Captain Qianji replied, “”Not killed on the spot, not considered heavy.””

An Zhan asked again, “”Was the person who called you back a while ago a fake?””

“”Yes, but he has the military command medallion.””

“”The military has been infiltrated as well. They even have the iron plates to transfer you.””

“”Therefore, not many people died in the army.””

“”Yes,”” the field officer replied expressionlessly, then sped up.

An Zui kept up with them and soon arrived at the Infantry Division.

The six men fought their way to the door of the Ministry of War, where they stood on either side of the door, clutching the hilt of the bloodshed knife.

Just as An Zui was about to knock on the door, he heard Chen Zaiyan say, “”Come in.””

He pushed open the door and entered, where he saw Chen Zaiyan buried in a pile of documents.

Besides these documents, there was also a bowl of rice and a vegetable on the table.

The food was cold and the food was cold.

Chen Zaiyan stared at the document, touched his chopsticks, and took a bite of rice into his mouth.

Then the chopsticks reached for the plate and clamped around it, but the chopsticks didn’t reach into the dish at all.

He just put the chopsticks in his mouth and chewed on them a few times, but he didn’t notice.

“”Sit first.””

Chen picked up the pen, wrote something on a document, and put it aside.

The document to his left was a little messy, a little cluttered.

The right side was divided into three parts, neatly arranged.

“”Everything has its priorities. Some of these documents have to be sent to Heavenly Temple immediately, while others have to be dealt with in the military. That’s why they have to be divided up.””

Chen Zaiyan picked up the bowl and finished the rice in two or three gulps.

An Zhan discovered that he actually hadn’t eaten a single mouthful of his dishes.

Chen asked as he read the documents, “”What do you think?””

“”Her Majesty arranged it?””

Chen Zaiyan nodded, “”Of course it’s her. If not, who else could it be?””

You stayed in His Majesty’s East Warm Pavilion for more than an hour, and no one else was there but you and His Majesty.

It would be strange if the empress dowager’s men didn’t make a move.

“”The King is eager to be virtuous, so he would be a little negligent.””

“”Captain Qian Ji injured Assistant Minister Ding’s son. Sir, aren’t you afraid that things will get out of hand?””

“”Causing a ruckus?””

If Ding Yi dared to make a ruckus, he would have been sent to the Ministry of Rites a long time ago.

This man was Her Majesty’s lackey, but he belonged to the Walls.

He knew that the empress dowager was powerful, so he stayed close to her.

But he was afraid that one day the king would come into power, so he swayed back and forth.

At the end of the day, his good-for-nothing son is even more decisive than he is. He knows that he can’t move while he’s leaning against the wall. “”

Chen Zaiyan put down the official document in his hand, “”The day after tomorrow will be the Martial Arts Academy Entrance Examination. Are you ready?””

“”If I am not dead by the day after tomorrow, I am ready.””

Chen Zaiyan laughed: “”You won’t die. From today onwards, Captain Qianji will be with you every step of the way.””

An Zeng shook his head, “”Don’t. I’m not used to sleeping with people around me, especially men.””

Chen Zaiyan straightened his body and stretched his neck, “”This is something the military owes you. Actually, you don’t have that much weight on it yourself.””

But you’re in this position, the point where the two sides compete.

“”However, this might not necessarily be a bad thing for you. It might help your career in the future by letting more people know your name.””

An Zhan said, “”He could also die very quickly.””

Chen continued to read the document with his head down: “”Everything is always double-sided, with good and bad things.

“”If we don’t wait for a good time, we will die. This is a normal development trajectory.””

Andersen wanted to ask if the death of the master of the book had anything to do with you, but he held it back when the words came to his lips.

Chen seemed to sense the tension in the atmosphere and looked up, saying, “”Of all things, the state is the most important.””

Now that I’m in the Soldier Tribe, it’s the best result I can achieve since I’m still in the Soldier Division.

If I’m not in the military, this is the Su Clan’s back garden.

Go back and rest first, and prepare for the Martial Arts Academy Entrance Examination.

“”That’s right … As for whether or not a woman can take part in the academy’s examinations, I’ve already mentioned it to the King, so the King has no objections.””

Of course, An Zhe knew Mu Changyan wouldn’t object, because he had to find the reason from time to time.

Otherwise, everyone within the Great Yan Dynasty would only know of the empress dowager and the emperor.

An Zhan nodded, “”Thank you, Sir.””

He stood up to leave, but Chen Zaiyan didn’t even raise his head as he said, “”This matter should go smoothly, because … Her Majesty.””

These words were somewhat complicated, and one could easily imagine how Chen Zaiyan was feeling.

What happened next was beyond anyone’s wildest imaginations. There would be documents posted the next day, and the streets and alleyways of the Fang family would be filled with them all.

The general meaning of the official documents was that if a woman had the heart to repay the country, she would also be able to build a meritorious service for the country.

In short, the girl who was allowed to apply for the Martial Arts Academy.

Not only the Martial Arts Academy, but also a few other specific academies.

The empress dowager had indeed done the right thing, but the right thing was because of herself.

Everyone knew that the eldest prince Mu Changyan was only a puppet now, the empress dowager had the real power.

The empress dowager had never claimed the throne herself, precisely because there had never been such a precedent before.

Now, however, the empress dowager had an opening.

Women could enlist in the army, then women could enter politics, and then … of course, women could be called kings.

Of course, there was no mention of the dispute in this official document, and when it was announced in the imperial court, the name of the dispute was not mentioned.

From beginning to end, this matter had changed into the empress dowager’s love and expectation for the world’s women. It was the empress dowager’s pursuit of the word ‘equity’ in the world.

Perhaps not even An Zaiyue had expected the empress dowager to be the reason for the success of this matter.

To An Zhe, the Martial Arts Academy Entrance Examination was nothing. Joining the Martial Arts Academy was not difficult at all.

An Zaiyue didn’t expect that so many people would be paying attention to him.

When An Zeng and Du skinny, Qu Liuxi and Gu Qianye appeared at the gate of the Martial Arts Academy, the people on both sides of the street couldn’t help but clap for him.

Tens of thousands of people were clapping on the street for a long time.

No matter how much the empress dowager praised herself, the people still knew the cause of this matter.

If there was no peaceful competition, the Martial Arts Academy would not expand the enrollment quota.

If there was no peace and quiet, the girl would not be allowed to enter the official academy to cultivate.

In fact, it wasn’t that there weren’t any sects where women cultivated, but because of their position in the capital, the leaders of these sects didn’t have the qualifications to be on the same level as the heads of the other sects.

Amidst the cheers and applause of the crowd, An Xuan walked into the gate of the Martial Arts Academy and saw a different scene.

The officer in charge of maintaining order looked at the fight with a complicated expression, while the teachers in the distance looked at the fight with even more complex expressions. There was no lack of enmity among them.

Because of the peaceful dispute in the Martial Arts Academy, there were dozens of instructors who had been detained and dealt with by the Military Department.

The instructors who were currently standing in the Martial Arts Academy had not a good relationship with those who had been dealt with, but they were still colleagues.

Among them, there was an undisguised look of disgust that came from the Vice Principal of the Martial Arts Academy.

Everyone knew that he had a reserved position in the Martial Arts Academy. The previous President of the Martial Academy had been transferred to the Military Department and then led the army to die on the battlefield. He was already the Vice Principal.

At that time, no one even suspected that he was the new Dean of the Martial Arts Academy.

However, he didn’t expect that Hao Ping would actually transfer a scholar from the Military Department who didn’t know how to cultivate to be the Dean of the Martial Arts Academy.

Sanghai Meridian

The feeble, pale scholar, with his gaunt gait, stood at the head of all the instructors, looking much weaker than before.

However, the clothes he wore symbolized the highest authority of the academy.

After Hao Ping had died, the new Military Affairs Minister Chen Zaiyan saw the Sang Haijing and reconfirmed the position of the headmaster of the Sang Haijing.

In this way, the grudge he held in his words became even greater.

At least 700 examinees flooded in one by one. These people all looked very excited and high-spirited.

However, in reality, less than one hundred people were able to remain in the Martial Arts Academy.

Not only that, these 700 people had already passed the first selection. If one counted the original number of participants, they would reach a total of 2,900 people.

“”Fierce and miserable!””

A word suddenly appeared in An Zhe’s mind. These examinees would be facing the most tragic elimination system.

As for those who succeeded in entering the Martial Arts Academy, they had only just entered into an even more intense knock-out tournament. In the future, they would not only have to face the battlefield, but also those brightly born koi.
