Start reward Xiaoli Feidao

Chapter 157 Yuan Maozhi

At this time, in the Duke's Mansion, a short and intense fight had just taken place.

The one who took the initiative was An Le Gong Zhu Jingyan.

I saw that Zhu Jingyan was no longer the white beard and hair before, but became full of black hair and firm skin, just like a young man.

And the one who fought against him was Chu Dange, the head catcher of the Six Doors.

It turned out that today, all the officials of the imperial court, big and small, came to the Anle Mansion for a banquet.

It is strange to say that in the past, Zhu Jingyan greeted all the guests at the door in person, but today it was his butler Shen San who greeted all the guests for him.

"Master Yuan, you are here, please come in quickly." Shen San said to an old man.

"Where's Mr. An Le?" The old man looked serious, and just glanced at Shen San lightly.

"The Duke is waiting for you all inside." Shen San said respectfully.

The old man surnamed Yuan didn't speak, walked around Shen San and went straight inside.

The old man's name is Yuan Maozhi, a veteran of the three dynasties. He is now a member of the cabinet and in charge of the Ministry of Industry.

Yuan Maozhi admired Zhu Jingyan, the Duke of An Le, very much. He publicly praised his talents many times, and even expressed his support for him to inherit the throne in public.

But Zhu Jingyan later voluntarily gave up the throne and chose to travel around the world, which made him very angry. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Zhu Jingyan, Mr. Yuan would scold him for being ineffective, as if he hated iron for not being able to make steel.

A few days ago, I heard that Zhu Jingyan not only found his missing son, but has now become an eighth-rank warrior.

Yuan Maozhi, who is old and mature, is keenly aware that Zhu Jingyan has changed his mind, and he may make big moves in the future, so he came to the Duke's Mansion early today to find out.

When I saw Zhu Jingyan, who used to be greeted at the door, but now he didn't show up, and let the housekeeper replace him.

Yuan Maozhi was overjoyed, but he didn't show it, and walked in with a cold face.

Later, other court officials arrived at the Duke's Mansion one after another, but when they saw Mr. Yuan Ge sitting there with a calm expression, they were startled and hurried forward to salute.

"Old Yuan Ge."

"Old Yuan Ge."

Yuan Maozhi just nodded, did not speak, his eyes flicked to an entrance from time to time.

Not long after, the entire hall of the Duke's Mansion was full of people, so all the officials who had received invitations came.

Seeing this, the housekeeper Shen San hurried to Zhu Jingyan's room.

"Master, everyone has already arrived." Shen San shouted outside the door.

Boom!

The door slammed open automatically without wind.

A young man walked out of the room.

"Guo...Guo Gongye?" Shen San looked at the young man, his mind went blank.

"Wan Qiu, what's the matter?" Zhu Jingyan, who had turned into a young man, smiled slightly, "Don't you recognize me?"

"My lord, how did you become like this?"

"You're getting younger, isn't it good?"

"Okay, of course!" Shen San's tone revealed surprise.

From the day he started to eliminate all the spies in the Duke's Mansion, Shen San betrayed Emperor Xia and chose to join Zhu Jingyan.

As long as Zhu Jingyan's own strength is stronger, it proves that he has a greater chance of winning, and the more likely he will succeed in revenge in the future.

"Let's go." Zhu Jingyan straightened the hair crown on his head and walked towards the hall.

Butler Shen San hurriedly followed behind.

When Zhu Jingyan walked into the hall, everyone hadn't realized it yet, thinking that this person was the young grandpa who had just been found.

"You see, that should be the little father-in-law. He really looks like Lord An Le."

"But isn't this age a bit wrong? The young man should only be 16 now, and he doesn't look like it."

While everyone was whispering, Yuan Maozhi narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Zhu Jingyan's young face carefully.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind.

"You are Zhu Jingyan!" Yuan Maozhi suddenly stood up and shouted.

When this statement came out, the audience was shocked!

In fact, according to Zhu Jingyan's age, he is less than fifty now, so he shouldn't look like an old man.

But since the death of his wife Yu Xiaobing and the disappearance of his son Zhu Yan, his whole energy has collapsed, and he has aged visibly with the naked eye.

In just a few years, he has become like a seven-year-old 81, senile.

Now he has returned to his youthful appearance, even younger than his peers, which can't help but surprise everyone.

Zhu Jingyan smiled slightly, and clasped his fists at everyone.

"Thank you for coming to the humble house today, I would like to express my sincere thanks."

"Everyone knows that 16 years ago, my wife and son suffered an accident, and I have been in pain ever since."

"Fortunately, God is merciful, so I finally found my missing son, and our father and son can be reunited today."

"But the man behind the murder of my wife, I will not let him go!"

Zhu Jingyan's words were loud and full of anger, but there was a gloomy voice from the crowd.

"The murderer back then, Ding Qian, has already been punished. It seems that the Duke is dissatisfied with the ability of our six sects to handle affairs!" The person who spoke was Chu Dange.

Zhu Jingyan was not surprised to see Chu Dange stand out from the crowd.

He knew that someone would take the initiative to pick things up today, but he didn't expect that Chu Dange would be the first one.

"So it's Master Chu Dange Chu, the head arrester of the Six Doors!" Zhu Jingyan said with a half-smile.

Seeing Chu Dange standing up from his seat, all the officials beside him were talking a lot.

"Lord Chu, today is Mr. An Le entertaining his colleagues at the mansion. Could it be that you want to cause trouble!" Before Chu Dange could speak, Yuan Maozhi took the lead to speak for Zhu Jingyan.

"Mr. Yuan Ge, I don't intend to cause trouble, but the meaning in Anle Gong's words is to accuse me of the ineffectiveness of the six sects. As the chief arrester, it is reasonable for me to argue." Although Chu Dange The attitude is polite, but the expression is very cold.

"I didn't say that the six doors are ineffective. What are you doing, Mr. Chu, in such a hurry to jump out?"

"Could it be that you know who is behind the scenes?"

Zhu Jingyan's words were like throwing a stone into a lake, causing ripples, and everyone started whispering.

A sneer appeared on Chu Dange's face, and he walked up to Zhu Jingyan step by step.

"I heard that Grandpa Guo is now in the eighth-rank realm, and he can already transform into form with fists. It's really admirable!"

"Why, do you want to try?" Zhu Jingyan smiled slightly.

"Hahaha, I've already reached the ninth rank. If I hand it over, I'm afraid I will hurt the Duke!" Chu Dange showed a trace of mockery on his face.

"Hurt me? What a joke!"

"Ninth-rank Xiantian is extremely powerful, but in the capital, your strength is suppressed, so it may not hurt me!"

Zhu Jingyan's words were full of gunpowder, and there was a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.

Someone in the crowd of onlookers didn't understand the meaning of Zhu Jingyan's words, so he asked the people around him.

"Why is strength suppressed in the capital? Why can't I feel it?"
