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

Chapter 321 The Demon Emperor Appears

As Zeng Anmin spoke, a faint golden light flickered in his eyes.

As the golden light appeared.

The guard named Niu Qianli's face instantly turned blank.

He stared blankly into Zeng Anmin's eyes.

Confucianism and Taoism: Ask your heart.

Incumbent officials and members of the royal family cannot be questioned about their conscience.

But at this point, he couldn't care less about anything else.

Bai Ziqing is currently being held hostage.

There was no time for him to ask any more questions.

Fortunately, there weren't many people around him at that time.

No one noticed the golden glint in his eyes.

"do not know……"

Niu Qianli's voice carried a hint of bewilderment, and his reply was rather dull.

"Don't know?" Zeng Anmin frowned.

At this moment, he could already vaguely sense a conspiracy.

The Imperial City Guard is so big.

The distance between the North City Hall and the Inspectorate should be at least the distance of an incense stick's stick.

Moreover, only the people of the Northern Capital Academy knew that all the guards in the Northern Capital had been mobilized to search for Bai Ziqing.

It has been less than half an hour since the entire Beitiduyuan swarmed out.

He, Eunuch Liu, could directly lead people here to capture Huang Shi.

There is a very high probability that this was premeditated!
Moreover, the place where Huang Shi was arrested happened to be the same place where Bai Ziqing disappeared.

Zeng Anmin felt that there must be a flaw here!

Where is the flaw?
Zeng Anmin immediately thought of the garrison commander that Niu Qianli had mentioned.

Niu Qianli was temporarily transferred.

The former garrison commander had no idea what he was doing.

However, the position of garrison commander in the Ministry of Personnel was not one that just anyone could take.

The disappearance of a defender didn't even cause a ripple?
This simply doesn't exist in the capital.

Unless he was ordered to do something!
And... it just so happens to be at this critical juncture when Bai Ziqing went missing?

Another thing is that Bai Ziqing disappeared right in front of the Ministry of Personnel!

Was all of this just a coincidence?
Without even thinking about it, it's absolutely impossible!
This made him even more suspicious!

Do you know where he is?

Zeng Anmin's eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

As Zeng Anmin's words rang out.

Niu Qianli became bewildered.

He answered, still in a daze:
"Xu Zilin said he was going to Liangjiang County and asked me to take care of his wife and children during that time."

“Xu Zilin?” Zeng Anmin frowned slightly, then realized that Niu Qianli must have been referring to the name of the garrison commander.

Did Xu Zilin say why he went to Liangjiang County?

"No, they just said it was confidential and told me not to ask any more questions."

Niu Qianli's expression was devoid of any emotion; his reply was indifferent and blank.

Liangjiang Prefecture?!

Zeng Anmin's head felt slightly swollen.

What was he going there for?
Or……

Zeng Anmin looked up and coldly stared at Eunuch Liu.

Why did Si Zhongxiao abduct Bai Ziqing to Liangjiang County?

The prime suspect right now is Si Zhongxiao.

And that Xu Zilin is most likely one of Si Zhongxiao's men.

At that moment, Zeng Anmin no longer hesitated and spurred his horse forward.

"drive!!"

With a roar, he slammed his legs heavily against the ribs of the horse beneath him.

The horse beneath him neighed loudly the moment it felt the force.

He then took off running.

"Zeng Anmin!! You dare to defy the law!!"

Eunuch Liu was completely dumbfounded when he saw this.

He couldn't very well use force to arrest Zeng Anmin in front of the Ministry of Personnel.

After all, his father was the Minister of War in the current dynasty.

But he truly didn't expect that Zeng Anmin would dare to resist arrest and escape at this critical juncture?

No… the key is that he doesn’t need to do it!! Eunuch Liu looked at Zeng Anmin with a blank expression.

He knew he was just using someone else's name to intimidate others, and that he was exaggerating the seriousness of his accusations.

What disrespect for imperial decrees and contempt for imperial authority? These are all just bluffing.

Moreover, given the current status of Zeng Anmin and his son in His Majesty's eyes, this matter will at most be dealt with lightly, with a few words of reprimand and that's it.

But he... chose to resist arrest?

This is a crime that can't be ignored.

Liu Gonggong's gaze suddenly turned fervent!

He watched Zeng Anmin's retreating figure, which had already fled far away, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"Father-in-law, aren't we going to pursue them?!"

A grape-picking boy looked at him blankly and asked.

"Chase him my ass! I'm going to find Eunuch Si right now! The Zeng family father and son are going to suffer a terrible fall this time!!"

Liu Gonggong felt his heart pounding extremely hard.

It was as if he could see the relieved smile on Si Zhongxiao's face after receiving the news.

"Wait for me!!"

Suddenly, another delicate shout rang out.

A swift horse emerged from the crowd.

Bai Wanqing stared intently at Zeng Anmin's retreating figure.

She had no idea where Zeng Anmin had gone.

She hadn't heard the conversation between Zeng Anmin and the guard who called Niu Qianli.

But from Zeng Anmin's hurried back, she could sense that Zeng Anmin must have news of her elder brother!
With that thought in mind, she no longer hesitated and followed Zeng Anmin's horse straight ahead!

…………

"Tap, tap, tap!!"

Zeng Anmin's horse was running at full speed.

The whip in his hand never stopped moving.

At that moment, only one thought occupied his mind.

Bai Ziqing is currently being coerced by the authorities towards Liangjiang County...

Moreover, there is always a risk to his life!
……

A gentle breeze swept by.

Night falls slowly.

"What~"

A sheep was leisurely grazing on wild grass by the bridge.

“Pada~”

Then a child was seen walking step by step from the wilderness toward this place.

Upon hearing the noise, the sheep's ears perked up slightly.

He then stopped moving and slowly raised his head.

"Little lamb."

The child, smiling, crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow at the sheep.
"I still haven't sensed the true meaning missing from the Ancestral Dragon Diagram. Is the method you mentioned fake?"

Upon hearing this, a look of confusion flashed across the sheep's cloudy eyes.

Then the expression became serious:

“Demon Emperor Holy Ancestor, this method was used by me to predict lifespan, and there will be absolutely no error.”

"Is it?"

The child's face was completely expressionless.

He squinted, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, staring at the sheep.

The lamb felt a little uneasy under his gaze.

"The Ancestral Dragon Map has been in my hands for over a year."

The child gently opened his delicate palm, and in the next moment, a huge map appeared out of thin air in his palm.

The map was enormous.

After he unfolded it, it was able to unfold slowly and automatically without any force.

"This picture has everything, but it lacks even a fraction of the true meaning."

"We have been searching for so long in the Holy Dynasty, risking exposure to reach the capital of this Great Holy Dynasty."

The child's voice became deeper:
"How's your search going?"

The goat sighed:
"Reporting to the Holy Ancestor, it was the Confucian sage of the human race who stole the Ancestral Dragon Map of my demon race back then."

"Qin Shoucheng, the great Confucian scholar of the Holy Dynasty, is a descendant of the Confucian sage. I sneaked into his home a couple of days ago to search for some clues about the Ancestral Dragon Map."

"So what did you discover?" The child's gaze deepened.
