My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 144: There is an enemy at night, and the Eastern Cult enters the dream!
Moon stars are rare.

It’s almost May.

The weather in the south of the Yangtze River is slowly starting to heat up.

However, it was evening and a cool breeze was already blowing.

In a dense forest, two fast horses were flying through the forest like sharp arrows.

"Shut up!"

The man in the lead pulled the reins of his horse and looked forward with a deep gaze.

This person has straight hair that falls on his shoulders and back like a waterfall, bright yellow and flowing.

Like straw.

He waved his flawless white sleeves and said to the person behind him:
"Brother Quan Fu, please rest here tonight. No matter how urgent the situation is, we must consider the horses under us."

The man behind him looked a little childish, but upon closer inspection, he was deeply attracted by his bright almond-shaped eyes.

His face was angular, and his hair was casually tied in a high ponytail behind him, with only a wisp of bangs in front of his forehead.

These two people were Zeng Anmin and Bai Ziqing, who had traveled all the way south from the capital.

The court meeting ended that day.

On the second day, before Zeng Anmin went to look for Bai Ziqing, Bai Ziqing called him to his house and insisted on taking Zeng Anmin south with him.

One was willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten, and the two hit it off immediately.

He then found two fast horses and headed towards Liangjiang County at high speed.

This journey has been going on for four days.

Zeng Anmin rubbed his swollen temples.

His face showed fatigue.

Even though his real strength was at the sixth level of the Void Realm, his body couldn't take it.

He looked towards the south and murmured:
"We are still more than 300 miles from here to Liangjiang County. Let's take a short rest and continue our journey tomorrow morning. We will try to reach Liangjiang before sunset tomorrow."

"Ah."

Bai Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief.

He actually didn't care. When he was promoted to the fourth rank, all the functions of his body had obvious changes compared to before he reached the fourth rank.

Before the fourth rank, it was still "ordinary."

But after the fourth level, it can already be called "extraordinary".

Not to mention the recent days of travel, even if it took a few more days, Bai Ziqing would be fine.

He was afraid that Zeng Anmin could not hold on.

In his eyes, Zeng Anmin's physical fitness was among the best among the Confucian practitioners.

But I kept traveling without sleep for several days.

It definitely can't hold up.

"Whoo~"

The two men found a deserted area, set up their tent, and then went to the riverside to fill their kettles with water.

After building a fire, we chatted for a while.

"Crackling."

The firewood beside me made a reassuring sound at night.

"Stab~"

Zeng Anmin skillfully tore off a piece of chicken leg from the roast chicken that was just being roasted over the fire.

Then he sprinkled some seasoning on the porcelain bottle he took out from his arms.

"promise."

After handing it to Bai Ziqing, he began to eat with relish.

"tasty!!"

After Bai Ziqing tasted it, his eyes suddenly lit up.

“Can you bake it like this?”

"Don't talk nonsense, just rest for a while after eating and then set off."

Zeng Anmin really couldn't resist the sleepiness.

After he finished eating, he went straight into the tent and closed his eyes.

"Whoo~"

A long-lost feeling of relaxation.

Zeng Anmin's mind did not stop.

Lying there, thinking.

"I'm coming in too."

After Bai Ziqing put out the fire, he smiled and went into Zeng Anmin's tent embarrassedly.

"What are you doing?"

Zeng Anmin glanced at Bai Ziqing warily.

"I can't sleep, so I'll stay here to keep watch for you."

Bai Ziqing didn't say anything and just lay down with Zeng Anmin side by side.

……

Zeng Anmin didn't say much, his eyes were deep and he closed his eyes again.

He thought slowly.

First of all, Huang Yuangao was the newly appointed Governor-General of Liangjiang.

His death was really too strange.

Although I only got a rough understanding of the files from my father.

Zeng Anmin could still feel that the thief's strength was not strong.

First of all, only Zeng Anmin and his father knew the truth about the Black Cat Warrior incident.

The real identity of Black Cat Warrior is himself.

After the thief killed someone, he disguised the scene to make it look like Black Cat Warrior had done it.

This is a signal for Zeng Anmin.

In other words, the thief wanted to divert the direction of the case and induce the world to focus on the Black Cat Warrior.

This also indirectly shows that the thief does not want, or dares not, to expose himself.

It's very simple, if the thief is strong enough.

He simply didn't want to eat beef anymore.

What else are you doing to frame others?
"Hulu~"

Zeng Anmin thought about it for a few seconds.

Then Bai Ziqing's deafening snoring was heard.

"Aren't you going to keep vigil for me?"

Zeng Anmin's mouth twitched.

"Brother Quan Fu... No... We can't do this..."

Bai Ziqing's intermittent mumbling in his sleep could be heard.

?

Zeng Anmin's face turned dark instantly.

He was too lazy to ask more questions, so he turned over and fell into a deep sleep.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Zeng Anmin, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly moved his ears.

His eyes snapped open.

Those phoenix eyes flashed with an extremely vigilant light in the darkness.

There is movement!!

He tried hard to control his breathing.

There was a rustling sound coming from outside the tent.

Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes, he felt something was wrong.

He sat up suddenly and looked at Bai Ziqing.

Bai Ziqing was sleeping soundly at this time.

Like a dead pig.

what's the situation? ?

Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes.

No matter what happens at night, my vigilance and perception will never be higher than Bai Ziqing's!
Bai Ziqing, a fourth-rank warrior, is so much stronger than himself!
How is it possible that I was awakened while he was still sleeping soundly? ? !
Surprising!

Zeng Anmin tried hard to control his breathing rate.

Then he slowly circulated the martial arts energy in his body.

The aura of martial arts slowly surged to his face.

His five senses became clearer.

Only then did he see it.

At this moment, Bai Ziqing's face was flashing with pain.

There was a faint black aura lingering around the temple.

"Click~"

An extremely eye-catching sound came from outside the tent.

Zeng Anmin heard it clearly.

This is the sound of shoes breaking branches.

Someone! !
plot!

Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes and changed his posture in the tent without making any expression.

Curl up and squat.

A hand axe also appeared silently in his hand.

This posture is extremely convenient for exerting force.

He waited patiently.

"Clap, clap."

The footsteps of someone outside became clearer and clearer.

at last.

Zeng Anmin saw a dark shadow covering the tent.

"Shh!"

The moment the tent door was opened.

Zeng Anmin's eyes were filled with extremely strong murderous intent.

"Chirp!!"

The cold light of the axe flashed in the darkness, emitting a chilling light that made people dare not look directly at it.

An extremely strange arc passed from Zeng Anmin's hand and headed out of the tent.

"Bang!!!"

The axe came into contact with an extremely hard object.

"Ding!!"

The object only blocked for a moment before being chopped off by the sharp axe.

"Swish!!" The entire tent was instantly exploded by the martial arts aura in Zeng Anmin's body.

He suddenly jumped out of the tent.

The martial arts aura was madly locking onto the body of the man outside.

"Shhh!!"

Another flash of axe light appeared.

But he struck nothing.

"Whoosh~"

Zeng Anmin could only see the man's back floating away into the distance at an extremely fast speed.

In just a moment, Zeng Anmin's eyes could no longer catch sight of the man's back.

“You run pretty fast!”

Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the man fleeing in panic.

But he didn't chase after him rashly.

According to the opponent's ghostly speed.

It would be difficult for him to catch up, and he couldn't just leave Bai Ziqing here and ignore him at this time.

Who is coming?

What is your purpose of coming?
Zeng Anmin looked in the direction where the figure disappeared and pondered for a long time.

It was obvious that the other party was targeting him and Bai Ziqing.

But the decision to rest here today was completely a spur-of-the-moment decision of the two of them.

Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.

"That is to say, this person has been waiting for us since we entered Jiangnan."

Was this a premeditated plot?
"Or has he been following us since we left the capital?"

Who sent him?
A series of doubts emerged in Zeng Anmin's mind.

At this time, Zeng Anmin was no longer sleepy at all.

He looked at the tent that had been chopped into pieces by him.

And Bai Ziqing who was still lying there and sleeping soundly.

"Woke up."

Zeng Anmin patted Bai Ziqing's face.

"Hulu~"

Bai Ziqing was sleeping very soundly.

Zeng Anmin frowned.

"Stay away from me! Bai doesn't like women!"

"Brother Quan Fu... please..."

"Let's keep drinking!"

"Good wine..."

Bai Ziqing was still whispering.

What is he dreaming about?
Zeng Anmin's mouth twitched.

But the next moment, his eyes narrowed.

Eastern religion's methods?

He looked at the black air lingering around Bai Ziqing's temple, his eyes flashing with a thoughtful gleam.

The Eastern Religion in Jiang State has a magical method of entering pictures and records in dreams. One penny of life can be exchanged for a whole night of pleasure, which is a big profit.

"It's time to wake up."

Zeng Anmin slapped Bai Ziqing in the face again.

Bai Ziqing was still sleeping.

“Could it be this kind of black energy?”

Zeng Anmin paused as he looked at the black air wrapped around Bai Ziqing's temple.

Then he stretched out his finger thoughtfully.

"Shh."

A hint of lavender righteousness emanated from his fingertips.

"The noble and righteous spirit can restrain all evil in the world."

Zeng Anmin's fingers slowly approached Bai Ziqing's temple.

"scoff~"

Sure enough, as soon as the fingers touched the black air.

The black air was like an evil spirit encountering the sun, with nowhere to hide.

Soon he was corrupted by his righteous spirit.

The pain on Bai Ziqing's face slowly faded away.

Zeng Anmin folded his arms and stood there, waiting for Bai Ziqing to wake up.

"No~"

Russian qing.

Bai Ziqing suddenly opened his eyes.

"Brother Quan Fu!!"

He suddenly sat up from the ground, and then gasped for breath.

Then, he met Zeng Anmin's expressionless gaze.

"This is……"

There was a gleam of doubt in Bai Ziqing's eyes.

He looked around.

He blinked in confusion.

The tent was completely shattered.

There was a mess all around.

"You just fell into a deep sleep and couldn't be woken up no matter how hard we called you."

Zeng Anmin looked at Bai Ziqing in a deep voice and said:
"We're being targeted."

Bai Ziqing's expression turned serious in an instant.

He lightly tapped his toes and stood up from the ground.

He stood there thinking for a long time.

Then he looked at Zeng Anmin with a very serious look and said;
"Dream Entering Atlas. I just felt vaguely that I was in a dream, but I couldn't wake up... This is the method of entering dreams in the Eastern Religion system."

"Ah."

Zeng Anmin nodded slowly: "Fortunately, I have the righteous spirit to protect me, otherwise you and I would be in danger tonight."

Of course, it may not be due to his righteous spirit.

Rather, it is related to his golden finger [The Indomitable God of War, immune to all mental and spiritual attacks].

"It's just that..."

Bai Ziqing looked at the mess around him, looked at Zeng Anmin suspiciously and asked:

"There are traces of battles around here. How can you, as a Confucian cultivator, be safe and sound?"

"Uh."

Zeng Anmin's expression froze slightly.

Then he waved his hand nonchalantly and said:

"I have a friend in the Xuanzhen Division. He created several force formations on my body."

"Is that so?" Bai Ziqing looked at Zeng Anmin, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked as if he had guessed something:
"Could it be that you really have a close relationship with Sai Chuxue of Xuanzhen Division?"

"Who did you listen to?"

Zeng Anmin's brows were tightly furrowed.

"It's spread all over the capital!"

While Bai Ziqing was packing up the tent on the ground, he walked towards the horse, turned his head towards Zeng Anmin and said:
"In this Illusion Formation Imperial Examination, you created a wonderful military formation method in the formation. When boosting morale, you said that you had a good relationship with Xuanzhen Si Sai Chuxue."

"If you ask me, then don't hide it. If you really are with the girl from Xuanzhen Division..."

Bai Ziqing couldn't think of the right words for a moment, so he just raised his eyebrows and looked at Zeng Anmin gossipingly.

……

Zeng Anmin's mouth twitched, he rolled his eyes and ignored him:
"Let's go quickly and hurry up to enter Liangjiang County. I'm afraid something unexpected will happen if we're late."

After saying that, Zeng Anmin jumped on his horse.

With his legs in the stirrups, he waved the whip in his hand:
"drive!!"

…………

The sun rose slowly.

When the sun radiates its unique warmth from the surface of the river.

Two fast horses stopped outside the gate of Liangjiang County.

Zeng Anmin looked at the familiar city gate in front of him with deep eyes.

An inexplicable emotion emerged in my heart.

"Liangjiang County."

At this time, three months had passed since he left Liangjiang County and went to Beijing.

So many things happened in these three months.

From the Eastern Palace assessment, to the Prince of Qi case, to the Lou Tong poisoning case, and then to the later Ren Weizhi case.

Until the current Huang Yuangao case.

In just three months.

Zeng Anmin felt that he had experienced a level of ups and downs that no one else could experience in their entire life.

"Enter the city."

The two of them were now dressed in costumes, with all the necessary equipment and preparations.

He doesn't look like an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court at all.

More like a chivalrous warrior.

So when they entered the city, the interrogating soldiers carefully checked the documents of the two men bit by bit.

"By the way, when will the people from the Imperial City Bureau arrive?"

The two men entered the city, dismounted, and led their respective horses.

Zeng Anmin glanced at Bai Ziqing and asked.

"I don't know. They estimate it will take half a month?"

Bai Ziqing curled his lips.

In fact, when Bai Ziqing came to Liangjiang County to investigate a case, the Imperial City Division also sent people to follow him.

However, both Zeng Anmin and Bai Ziqing knew that time was urgent.

So I didn't wait deliberately.

He headed directly towards Liangjiang County.

They hurried all the way and it took them less than four days to travel south from the capital to Liangjiang County.

"alright."
