Chapter 1239 Luoyang Turbulence
When the whole nation was hunting down the Thief Saint, a piece of news suddenly broke out like an atomic bomb: the Sunset Army had captured the Thief Saint and had secretly escorted him to Luoyang.
When Zhou Wen heard the news, he was stunned for a moment and hurried back to Luoyang.
Although he had a bad relationship with An Tianzuo, his father and many close relatives were in Luoyang, and he could not let anything happen to them.
Zhou Wen knew too well how attractive the disaster-grade companion egg was. Even when he first discovered the jade ball, he rushed in and took the risk.
Now An Tianzuo actually arrested Liuyun, the scapegoat who got nothing. Isn't this just asking for trouble?
There were no telling how many ruthless people in the entire Federation were coveting the jade ball, which was not a natural disaster-level companion egg at all. As a result, Luoyang immediately became the target of public criticism. If not handled properly, it might even bring disaster to the An family.
When Zhou Wen rushed back to Luoyang, the situation there had become very complicated. The streets were full of people from outside, and locals were almost nowhere to be seen. The An family was surrounded by countless people staring at them.
"Asheng, what is going on?" Zhou Wen didn't dare to ask Ansheng about these things on the phone. After returning to Luoyang, he went to find Ansheng as soon as possible.
"Master Wen, let's go back and talk about it. It's not safe here." An Sheng took Zhou Wen to the An family.
On the way, many pairs of eyes were staring at them, so Zhou Wen had no choice but to remain silent. After arriving at the An family, he found that the entire An family had been guarded like an iron barrel, and not even a mosquito could fly in.
"Master Wen, things are a bit troublesome. There are all kinds of people out there now. People from all the powerful forces have come to Luoyang. I'm afraid it will be very troublesome this time." An Sheng said.
"Where is An Tianzuo?" Zhou Wen looked around and found that Ouyang Lan and Yaer were there, but there was no sign of An Tianzuo in the An family.
As for Zhou Lingfeng, he had left Luoyang for some work matters and had never returned. He was not in the Governor's Mansion.
"The Governor isn't here," An Sheng whispered to Zhou Wen, "Those guys out there won't dare act rashly unless they see the Governor and what they're looking for."
"Hasn't he ever thought that those people would threaten him with Sister Lan and your lives? Or has he already thought about it, but still did it?" Zhou Wen frowned.
"Master Wen, the governor is definitely not that kind of person. He has his own plans for doing this. Please trust the governor." An Sheng said solemnly.
Zhou Wen wanted to say something, but a soldier came in to report that someone was trying to force his way into the Governor's Mansion.
"Master Wen, you take a rest first, I'll go take a look." An Sheng stood up and said.
"I'll go with you." Zhou Wen was a little helpless. Yaer and Ouyang Lan were both here, plus Ansheng. If a conflict really broke out, how could he stay out of it?
"Okay." An Sheng laughed.
The two men came to the outside of the gate and saw a group of people who looked like officials standing at the gate, and the soldiers guarding the Governor's Mansion pointed their guns at those people.
Seeing An Sheng coming out, the leading official said, "Adjutant An, I am Smith, the director of the Federal Security Bureau. Under the order of the Senate, I need to ask Supervisor An some questions. I hope Supervisor An can assist in the investigation."
"Sorry, the governor is not in the mansion. Please come back another day." An Sheng had dealt with similar incidents many times in the past two days, so he dismissed it casually.
"I wonder when Commander An will be back?" Smith asked calmly without changing his expression.
"As subordinates, we only know how to follow orders. How dare we ask about Chang Ming's affairs?" An Sheng said perfunctorily.
"In that case, let's wait for General An to come back in the mansion." Smith said as he led his men into the mansion.
The guarding soldiers immediately raised their guns, pulled the safety, and were ready to shoot them at any time.
"Mr. Smith, I'm afraid this is not appropriate?" An Sheng looked at Smith and said.
Smith faced the black muzzles of guns without showing any sign of panic. He continued calmly, "Luoyang is the Federation's Luoyang, and General An is also the Federation's General. Are you going to disobey the orders of the Federation Senate?"
"I'm sorry, we are just soldiers and we only know how to obey the orders of our superiors. The governor asked us to guard the governor's mansion, so we can't let anyone in, not even a fly. Mr. Smith, if you have anything to say, please wait for the governor to come back and discuss it with him. Don't make things difficult for us ordinary soldiers." An Sheng said.
"It doesn't matter whether he comes back or not. Here is the search warrant from the Senate. Unless you want to rebel against the Federation, get out of the way." After Smith showed the search warrant, he rushed in.
Zhou Wen could see that these people were obviously trying to force Ansheng and the others to take action.
The so-called House of Lords is now basically controlled by the Guardian Alliance, and the Guardian Alliance has long regarded the An family in Luoyang as a thorn in their side. It is not inconceivable that they want to take this opportunity to destroy the An family.
After all, the An family has never accepted the olive branch extended by the Guardian Alliance, and is even secretly hostile to the Guardians.
"Bang!"
An Sheng held his pistol and shot Smith in front of his toes, causing Smith and the others to pause. Then he gave an order in a cold voice: "All soldiers, listen up! Anyone who takes another step forward will be shot on the spot."
The soldiers responded loudly without any hesitation, their eyes determined and their fingers on the trigger, waiting for someone to take another step forward and they would shoot immediately.
"People say that the An family is colluding with overseas parties and wants to rebel against the Federation. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that I have no choice but to believe it." Smith said coldly.
An Sheng smiled and said, "Speaking of collusion with overseas parties, you should check the Guardian Alliance, right? Uesugi Nao there is a famous female devil in the outer seas. I hope you can arrest her as soon as possible."
A hint of coldness flashed in Smith's eyes. He stared at An Sheng and said word by word: "The An family must be searched today. If you want to rebel against the Federation, you can shoot."
With that, Smith led his men to move forward.
Zhou Wen looked at An Sheng. This was not an ordinary incident and could not be resolved by using force. It involved the relationship between the Luoyang An family and the Federation, so he could not act rashly.
An Sheng seemed a little hesitant. Although he pointed the gun at Smith, he did not shoot immediately.
"Take them all down." A stern voice suddenly came. On the long street, An Tianzuo, dressed in a neat military uniform, came riding a white unicorn beast as beautiful as jade. Behind him, there were many well-known generals of the Sunset Army, including Qin Wufu.
