Fire Phoenix Burns the Sky: Ms. Heaven-defying Useless Material

Chapter 468
The other courtyard is a typical Chinese classical garden style. It can be felt that it was designed by professionals. Almost every angle is an exquisite and perfect landscape.

It is often a turn that can make people's eyes shine.

More importantly, on these half-old buildings, one can feel the vicissitudes and weight of history. Standing there quietly, practitioners with keen senses can feel as if they have touched the invisible and surging river of history. The past that has disappeared without a trace but has formed a strong influence on the present is etched in every brick.

Chu Liyue seemed to be lowering her head, but her spiritual sense was observing the surroundings slightly, not only admiring the beauty and vicissitudes of the Anjia Bieyuan, but also paying attention to the terrain, instinctively looking for various places to hide or break through .

However, the architectural layout of the Anjia was clearly designed by an expert. With such a large courtyard and so many trees and flowers, there were not many dead spots, and they were basically within the sight of the defenders.

It seems that there are quite a lot of people in the other courtyard. An Wenxiu said that this is the residence and office of An Duyuan, the head of the elders in the clan. Most of the general affairs of the An family are taken care of by this elder who is his grandfather.

It was said that An Duyuan was in charge, but in fact it was decided through joint discussions between An Duyuan's staff and several core members of the Presbyterian Church.

An Hongnan, the Patriarch of the An family, usually doesn't interfere in the internal affairs of the An family, unless something major happens.Just like this time An's family was devastated by this An family, it was also An Hongnan's decision to ask An Wenxiu to take the map of the mainland to Tianyuan to lure the An family away.

Most of the time, An Hongnan was busy with affairs because of his official position as Prime Minister Zuo of Nanqi State, so he didn't take much care of An's affairs.

As soon as An Wenxiu came back, it was a bit eye-catching to visit An Hongnan, so it would be better to meet An Duyuan directly.

After making a big circle in the huge other courtyard, An Wenxiu brought Chu Liyue to a separate small courtyard.This is his residence in the other courtyard, and it is also the recognition of his status in the family.

Although the courtyard is not too big, it is just a courtyard with three entrances, but the key is that it is very close to Anduyuan's main courtyard, just separated by a wall.This is the treatment that An Wenxiu, the best disciple of young people, can enjoy.

An Wenxiu brought Chu Liyue to her study: "You sit here for a while, I'll come when I go."

Chu Liyue nodded, and An Wenxiu left in a hurry.

The study area is very large, and it is made by opening up the three rooms in the east wing.There are no partitions in the entire room, and rows of bookshelves just take up most of the space.

In front of the carved hexagonal window, there is a large desk with the Four Treasures of the Study on it, and a row of writing brushes hanging on the wall—Chu Liyue can only see that they are different in thickness, and the rest is completely unknown So that's it.

There is a word hanging on the wall: the spirit of grandeur.

Chu Liyue doesn't know calligraphy, but she can feel the thick strokes of these four characters, and there seems to be a kind of magnanimity blowing from them.

With her hands behind her back, she stood in front of these four words for a while, and then began to walk into the rows of bookshelves.

There are all kinds of books on the bookshelves, and the most are history books of various categories.The general history of the mainland, local history, family history, cultivation history, cultural history, etc. are classified into categories, which is dazzling.

In the end, Chu Liyue simply took a copy of the General History of the Continent and looked it up. She wanted to know what happened thousands of years ago in this Xuanyuan Continent, and wondered if the An family had any records about it.

She turned the pages of the book, only to realize that what she was holding was the tenth volume of the General History of the Mainland... A history book of this scale had never been seen in the library of the Chu family. Even if the super family has begun to decline in terms of force, it still far surpasses other families in terms of historical accumulation.

Chu Liyue flipped through the pages casually, but the first page told the history of the human dynasty before the final decisive battle between the human race and the orc race.

In the Chu family library, Chu Liyue had read some history books in order to understand the world. She also knew that the Tianyuan Empire was less than a thousand years old. It is the Tianyuan Empire.

According to the history books, before the decisive battle between the human race and the orc race, the human race was nominally ruled by a monarch, but in fact, various countries, large and small, had already been formed due to the raging of the orc race.

The co-lord of the human race was Emperor Mu at that time, but he was only a monarch in name, and the government orders could not go beyond the three hundred miles around his own capital.

However, due to the long history of the history before the decisive battle, many later historians have not been able to tell clearly.

Chu Liyue saw only some vague and specious records in the Chu family library.

Unexpectedly, in An Wenxiu's study, he picked up a copy of the General History of the Mainland, and saw the detailed records about the Mu Dynasty.

It’s just that these words are a bit sloppy, Chu Liyue is quite difficult to read, probably reading and guessing, seeing this page is saying that the last emperor Mu of the Mu Dynasty likes fishing and hunting, and enjoys luxury. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and only one Mrs. Qu is doted on.

This Mrs. Qu is extremely beautiful, she also has an unparalleled singing voice, and she dances gracefully. Both singing and dancing can make everyone fascinated.Mu Tianzi loved her to the extreme and obeyed her.

One day Mrs. Qu had a whim, and wanted to build a high platform in Mu Tianzi's other garden. On the high platform, accompanied by clouds, stars and moons, she could dance and sing for Mu Tianzi to watch.

Mu Tianzi also found this idea very interesting, so he sent people to the suburban garden to build a moon stage, but all civil and military officials opposed it.

At the time when there were no cultivators, building such a high platform completely relying on manpower would consume a lot of materials and people. It is ridiculous to waste people and money just for a favorite concubine to dance and sing happily!

The opposition of the officials angered Emperor Mu, who was furious in the court, saying that this was his freedom as an emperor, and if an emperor didn't even have this power, he might as well take off his crown and become a farmer.

Then fierce conflicts broke out between the monarch and his ministers, and several violent-tempered ministers committed suicide by committing suicide, admonishing each other with death.

Mu Tianzi was even more annoyed, thinking that they were wolves with ambitions, and wanted to use this method to kidnap him.Not only did he not change his mind, but he intensified his efforts and recruited more civilians to build the moon stage.This also aroused civil unrest, and the army had to be mobilized to the suburbs of Beijing to suppress it.

The historian at the time recorded all these facts truthfully, and evaluated them as "lewd and immoral".Emperor Mu was furious and ordered him to revise the records so as not to leave his notoriety in the history books.

The historian refused, so Mu Tianzi arrested him and sent him to prison, where he was forced to change the records. The historian would rather commit suicide than obey.After the official historian died, his son succeeded the official historian, and directly added a line to the history book: Emperor Mu was angry and killed the official historian.

Mu Tianzi was so angry that he killed the new historian again. This time, the successor historian was the younger brother of the original historian, and it came up with a line: Mu Tianzi killed the historian again.

At this time, Mu Tianzi also realized that even if he killed all the historians' family, the historians would not change the records in the history books according to his will.

He wants to completely abolish the position of historian, but the status of "history" in human culture is too important. Even he cannot forcibly abolish a profession and cultural tradition that has existed for thousands of years.

Just when the confrontation between him and his courtiers reached its peak, civil unrest erupted from the outskirts of Beijing became more and more serious. Even the troops who went to suppress them changed their positions and came back to resist the brutal rule of Emperor Mu.

So Mu Tianzi and his favorite concubine Mrs. Qu were hacked to death in the palace together by the rebels.The nominal rule of the Mu Dynasty over the entire world also came to an end.

Chu Liyue guessed and took Mengdi to read the historical facts from the first page, and spread the books on the desk in front of the hexagonal window.

The sound of inaudible footsteps came from the door, and a figure stepped into the room.

This is a tall and thin man, his face is still very young at first glance, but if you look at it further, you will feel that his face is full of traces of years.He was wearing a solemn black cross-collared long gown, with a strong classical atmosphere, and his whole person exuded a refined and noble temperament, and he was from a high family at first glance.

"I'm An Duyuan. Patriarch Chu is here, and An Mou didn't greet him from afar. It's really rude."

An Duyuan, the great elder of the An family, Chu Liyue knew that he had an extraordinary status in the An family.She turned around gently, and the moment she turned around, she had recovered her true appearance.

With her and Qinghui here, unless Hua Geyuan personally came to spy on them, no one would be able to sneak up on them or use some method to spy on their conversation, so there is no hindrance to showing their true faces.

Although wearing the uniform of an attendant, Chu Liyue's posture was still calm and indifferent: "Since there is something to deal with, there is no need to pay attention to those formalities."

In Chu Liyue's capacity, if she visits publicly, the Patriarch of the An family will naturally welcome her in person and treat her with high standards for distinguished guests.But now that Chu Liyue came here to help the An family catch that dark tribe, naturally he couldn't make it public.

An Duyuan asked Chu Liyue to sit down, with some apology: "Wenxiu is young and reckless, and even worked hard for the master of the Chu family. Fortunately, the master of the Chu family did not care about him, otherwise he would have caused a big disaster."

An Wenxiu's mission is to send the map of the mainland to Chu Liyue, and then An's family releases news to let the dark family go to Chu's house.Instead of inviting Chu Liyue to An's family to help.

It was he who made his own claims, exposed the matter in front of Chu Liyue, and begged Chu Liyue to save An's family.

This request was not authorized by the Patriarch An and the elders at all.

Moreover, under the circumstances at that time, he didn't dare to send the news back by letter or other means of communication. He was afraid that if something leaked in any link, the dark race would know the news instead and began to hide.

Chu Liyue agreed to his request, but he didn't dare to let Chu Liyue know that he didn't have the family's permission at all.So as soon as he came back, he came to An Duyuan and told the whole story, hoping that An Duyuan would come forward and have a formal meeting with Chu Liyue.

After all, Chu Liyue's willingness to lend a helping hand is already a great favor. The An family can't let others work for nothing, no matter whether it succeeds or not, they must repay Chu Liyue accordingly.

But this level of remuneration cannot be determined by An Wenxiu's authority.

An Duyuan also got straight to the point, apologizing to Chu Liyue. Whether An Wenxiu's matter is handled well or not depends on the results of the talks between An Duyuan and Chu Liyue.

If the two cannot agree, An Wenxiu has caused a catastrophe, and the strategy of diverting the disaster to the east has been exposed, which can neither achieve the original expected effect, but also offend such a powerful figure as Chu Liyue; if the two can agree, Chu Liyue didn't care about An's family, but also helped An's family get rid of the dark tribe, An's family was saved, and An Wenxiu was a great contributor.
