Luo Yuheng needed a man who was blessed with luck. She became the Master Teacher, but she didn't want to cultivate with the Yuanjing Emperor …
"The Jinlian Taoist priest probably knows about my luck. The Jinlian Taoist priest has asked Luo Yuheng for medicine many times and asked me to go …
"Before I left Chu Zhou City, Luo Yuheng asked Chu Yuanzhen to give me a talisman sword …
"When I was guarding the lotus seed in Jin Zhou City, the Jinlian Taoist priest forced me to call for Luo Yuheng at a critical moment. She really came …"
All kinds of seemingly reasonable and seemingly unreasonable details flashed through Xu Qi 'an's mind.
"If you do that, I'm going to have a headache!" He had a complicated look on his face.
"But I heard that the Master Teacher didn't choose to cultivate with Yuan Jing."
Xu Qi 'an calmed himself down and said in a casual tone.
The Princess looked up and thought for a while. Then, she shook her head.
"Hmm … I don't know about that. I often told her to just give herself to the Yuanjing Emperor. Choosing the emperor as her cultivation partner was not a bad thing for her.
"But she doesn't seem to be satisfied with the Yuanjing Emperor. No, I can feel that she doesn't like the Yuanjing Emperor."
"She doesn't like him in any way …" Xu Qi 'an's eyes flashed and he asked.
"With the Master Teacher's level of cultivation, she won't pay attention to the three obediences and four virtues like ordinary women, right?"
The Princess nodded and said, "Of course, Luo Yuheng won't. But what does it have to do with the selection of a cultivation partner? Choosing a cultivation partner is a very serious matter. "
"This Luo Yuheng is a shark …" Xu Qi'an's heart sank.
[Dual Cultivation] was the same as choosing a Taoist companion. From this, it could be seen that Luo Yuheng was very cautious about the relationship between a man and a woman. Therefore, after inspecting the Yuanjing Emperor, she was really just using her karmic luck to suppress the Hellfire. She had never thought of doing [Dual Cultivation] with him.
If my previous guess was correct, Luo Yuheng was also examining me.
Once she feels that there is no harm in trying to dual cultivate with me, it means that she will have to choose a dao companion.
Based on how much my aunt values her cultivation companion and her status as a Second Grade Master, as long as she chooses me, would the fish in my pond still have a way to survive?
If you do that, my head suddenly won't grow big again … he complained in his heart.
There are pros and cons to everything. The good thing is that I have another trump card. In the future, if I have no other choice, I can sell my body to Luo Yuheng in exchange for something in return.
Of course, the prerequisite was that she was satisfied with me and put me at the top of the list of Dao companions.
Hmm, find a chance to test her.
"Why are you asking so clearly?" Wangfei asked suspiciously.
"If I can become the dao companion of a beauty like the State Preceptor, it would be a blessing that I have cultivated for eight lifetimes." Xu Qi'an pretended to be emotional.
"Stop dreaming. How could Luo Yuheng take a fancy to you with just that bit of capital of yours?"
Wangfei's reaction was unexpectedly big. She mocked and ridiculed him.
After that, she inadvertently touched the bracelet on her wrist and said indifferently, "Luo Yuheng's beauty is indeed not bad, but to say that she's devastatingly beautiful would be too much of an exaggeration."
After saying that, she raised her chin and looked at Xu Qi'an disdainfully.
This posture was clearly saying, "Look at me, look at me" and "I am the most beautiful woman in Daibun".
Xu Qi'an sneered disdainfully. "Go back to your room and look at yourself in the mirror."
Wangfei was furious. She grabbed a pebble and threw it at him.
"Alright, alright. Compared to you, the State Preceptor pales in comparison." Xu Qi'an said perfunctorily.
Wangfei was still unsatisfied. She pinched the Bodhi bracelet and insisted on showing her true appearance to this brat. She wanted him to know if Luo Yuheng was more beautiful or if she was more beautiful.
"Think about it carefully. This is the capital. If you take off the bracelet, the Celestial Commissioner might bring soldiers to arrest you tomorrow." Xu Qi'an threatened.
Wangfei was terrified.
The Supervisor was the Supervisor. The Celestial Commissioner was the Celestial Commissioner. What the Supervisor knew, the other warlocks of the Celestial Commissioner might not know. If they saw Wangfei's magnificent aura, they might turn around and report it to the palace.
Although Xu Qi'an could stop them, it would also expose the fact that he was hiding Duke Huai's widow.
Once a secret was known, it would be hard to keep it.
Also, there was a little secret that he couldn't say. He was afraid to see Wangfei's true appearance. That hidden woman was too dazzling. She was so perfect that she didn't seem like a mortal.
Even if he was facing a woman with average looks, Xu Qi'an could still feel his favorable impression of her growing day by day. If he saw that beauty again, Xu Qi'an couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't do something to her tonight.
For example, letting her understand what it meant to fall when the melon was ripe.
Although Xu Qi'an's admiration for Luo Yuheng made Daibun's number one beauty feel uncomfortable, overall, she was still quite happy today.
So the next morning, before Xu Qi'an left, she gave Xu Qi'an some noodles.
…
"It's sticky, mushy, and so salty. Wangfei's noodles are really disgusting. There's so much chicken essence. Are you trying to choke me to death … I'll let her taste my cooking and learn from it."
Xu Qi'an complained as he entered the brothel. He changed his appearance, changed his clothes, and returned home.
After cultivating for four hours, he rode the little mare and galloped to a rather high-class brothel.
After waiting for a long time in the familiar room, Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao arrived late. They were wearing the night watchman's uniform, with gongs tied to their hands and swords.
Because they were going to talk business, they didn't bring any girls. The three of them sat around the table and watched the opera in the hall while drinking and eating peanuts.
"How's the investigation going?" Xu Qi'an kicked Song Tingfeng.
"Last night, a group of people in black robes entered the inner city from the southern gate. They even warned the guards not to leak the information. Heh, those northerners from Chu Zhou City don't know who the capital is. I spent a silver coin and got the information from the soldier who was on duty last night. "
Song Tingfeng took a sip of wine and said, "They didn't enter the imperial city. They disappeared after they entered the inner city. This morning, I asked the silver gongs patrolling the Imperial City to investigate, and indeed, no one saw those spies enter the Imperial City. "
They didn't enter the imperial city?
Was Hengy Yuan being held captive somewhere in the imperial city? No, he might have been sent to the imperial city or even the imperial palace through a secret channel, just like how Count Pingyuan secretly sent people into the imperial city.
"The Taoist master said that Grandmaster Hengy Yuan's life will not be in danger in the short term, so we should have plenty of time. If Hengy Yuan is taken into the imperial palace, then we will have to break off our relationship with the Yuanjing Emperor when we rescue him.
"If that's the case, I have to prepare a backup plan. I can't rush the rescue …"
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Xu Qi 'an said, "Inform the patrolling brothers. If they see any abnormalities in the inner city, or if they see any black-robed and masked spies, they must inform me immediately."
Zhu Guangxiao nodded and said, "Okay."
Song Tingfeng suddenly said, "By the way, I heard that the northern demons and barbarians will enter the capital in three days."
"The demons and barbarians will enter the capital?" "The demons and barbarians have just broken through Chu Zhou City. How dare they enter the capital?" Xu Qi'an frowned.
"I haven't heard about it."
Song Tingfeng said, "His Majesty held a small court meeting yesterday to discuss this matter in secret. Jiang Jinluo told us last night when he took us to the Musical House for a drink. "
"I know that there is a war in the north. According to the lag of the news, the war in the north should have started long ago. But even so, the demons and barbarians sent a delegation to the capital, which is enough to show that the war is not going well …" Xu Qi'an thought and said,
"The demons and barbarians are too weak. Why did they ask for help so soon?"
The demons and barbarians in the north, Daibun, and the Witchcraft Sect were three forces that kept each other in check.
Song Tingfeng said, "The cavalry of the Jingguo State is the best in the Nine States. Before the Battle of Shanhai Pass, the barbarian cavalry could compete with the cavalry of the Jingguo State. After the Battle of Shanhai Pass, the barbarian powerhouses were killed and wounded.
"I don't think the war in the north will drag on for long. The barbarians in the north can't survive this year."
Zhu Guangxiao added, "After the death of Lucky Zhigu, the demons and barbarians only have Zhu Jiu, and the Witchcraft Sect is not short of high-level powerhouses. Moreover, the battlefield is the home field of the wizards. The ability of the Witchcraft Sect to control the Corpse Soldiers is extremely terrifying. "
Zhu Jiu experienced the battle in Chu Zhou City and has not recovered from the serious injury. It makes sense … Xu Qi'an nodded.
Zhu Guangxiao sighed, "Compared with the weakening of the national power of Daibun, the national power of the three countries under the control of the Witchcraft Sect is growing. If it weren't for Duke Wei … "
Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng were the night watchmen who monitored the officials. They had a good vision and could clearly sense the weakening of the national power of Daibun.
It was getting worse year by year.
However, the sorrow of the country and the people was quickly replaced by the laughter of young women.
Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao each picked a beautiful woman, hugged them, and went into the house to work.
Xu Qi'an sat alone at the table, quietly drinking wine, and looked down at the opera in the hall without any expression.
…
At night, in Xu Erlang's study.
Xu Qi'an held a teacup and listened to Xu Erlang's recitation. He frowned and said, "That's all?"
"There have been many things to do in Hanlin Academy recently. The imperial court wants to revise the military strategy book. I don't have time to memorize the former emperor's daily records." Xu Erlang explained helplessly.
"Revise the military strategy book?"
"It's customary to revise the military strategy book every time there's a war." Xu Erlang took a sip of tea and said,
"Let me tell you something. In three days, the northern monsters and barbarians' diplomatic corps will enter the capital. The war in the north is in full swing. If nothing goes wrong, the imperial court will send troops to support the monsters and barbarians.
"In fact, the imperial court had already made this decision when the intelligence came from Chu Zhou City. It just needed some time to prepare. To put it bluntly, it's to motivate the people. Tomorrow, the directorate will hold a conference in the imperial city. The purpose is to spread the idea of war. "
"Huaiqing told me about this. Oh right, I have to accompany her to the conference …" Xu Qi'an remembered.
He had never experienced war in his previous life, but he had read a lot about ancient and modern history. He could understand what Xu Erlang was trying to say.
Since ancient times, it was common practice to mobilize the people for war. They had to tell the people why they were fighting and what the meaning of the war was.
Of course, in this day and age, the imperial court didn't need to mobilize the common people, but the scholar-officials.
"Then, are the daily records I memorized useful to you, Big Brother?" Xu Erlang asked.
"Yes!"
Xu Qi'an gave a positive answer.
"From this daily record, it can be seen that the frequency of the former Emperor asking Renzong for the method of immortality was not high, but it was not low either. This showed that he had some fantasies about immortality.
"But for some reason, he didn't have any fantasies about immortality. For now, I can't see the former Emperor's desire to cultivate. "
"The former Emperor never cultivated." Xu Erlang finished and furrowed his brows. "For some reason?"
"The former Emperor was a smart man and knew his place …" Xu Qi 'an smiled and did not explain. Instead, he said,
"The former Emperor didn't cultivate until his death, but he did have fantasies about it. I guess the former Emperor influenced the Yuanjing Emperor. Go read the daily records and memorize them as soon as possible. "
The next day, it was raining heavily. The wind rolled up the raindrops, bringing with it a chill.
The rainwater flowed along the eaves, forming a curtain of water droplets.
Summer was coming to an end, and the seedlings in the fields were showing signs of turning yellow.
Today was a break. Xu Erlang stood under the eaves and said emotionally, "Looks like I won't be able to go to the Wen Conference."
Xu Qi'an walked out of the room and watched the rain with him. He smiled and said, "I think so too. Erlang, let me borrow your official token."
Opposite the brothers was the East Wing. Xu Lingyin stood under the eaves, waving a branch and "cutting" the curtain of water droplets under the eaves. She didn't get tired of it.
Her small shoes and trousers were all wet from the rain.
At this time, Lina was still sleeping soundly. Li Miaozhen was meditating in her room. The Second Uncle Xu, wearing a straw cape and a bamboo hat, sadly went on duty.
Xu Qi'an also had something to do today. He had to go to the Lingbao Temple for two things. First, to test Luo Yuheng's true attitude towards him.
Second, to ask about the previous Renzong Taoist leader.
…
The rain was pouring. Wei Yuan's horse carriage traveled in the rain. The raindrops kept exploding on the roof of the carriage, making a pitter-patter sound.
Daqing Yi opened the window and looked at the rain silently, blurring the world.
At a certain moment, the rain seemed to freeze for a moment, like an illusion.
"The rain can wash away the dust, but it can't wash away the hearts of people."
A sorrowful voice sounded in the carriage. The voice was full of vicissitudes.
Wei Yuan was still looking at the rain. He said lightly, "Is the rain scenery of Mount Qingyun not as good as the scenery here?"
Director Zhao Shou, who appeared without a sound, said with a serious expression, "After the Battle of Shanhai Pass, Daibun should have been thriving, but because, because …"
Zhao Shou wanted to speak a few times, but he realized he couldn't remember.
"Because something happened during this period. At the end of the Year of Jingcha, the statue in the abyss cracked, and so did the one in the northeast. In the end, you only bought twenty years for Daibun and the human race. All these years, I've been thinking, if the Supervisor didn't just stand by and watch, the ending would be different. "
Wei Yuan was still expressionless. He said calmly, "Man proposes, God disposes. Nothing in this world will go according to your wishes, Zhao Shou, and it won't go according to my wishes. The Supervisor and you and I are not the same kind of people. "
Zhao Shou nodded and said, "The God of Venomous Vermin is an ancient demon, but also rootless duckweed. But the God of Sorcerer is different. He dominates the northeast and millions of creatures. He has at least one-third of the human race's luck.
"If he breaks the seal, no one in the nine states can stop him. Unless the Confucian Sages comes back to life. "
Wei Yuan sighed, "I will stop him. I started planning last year."
Zhao Shou stared at him and asked, "What if you fail?"
Wei Yuan smiled, "Have you ever seen me lose?"
…
The carriage slowly stopped outside the palace gate.
Nangong Qianrou let go of the reins and opened the door. He said, "Foster father, we are here."
He looked around the carriage. Except for Wei Yuan, there was no one else in the carriage. But when he was driving, his instinct as a warrior caught a trace of abnormality, which disappeared in a flash.
Nangong Qianrou opened a big umbrella and led Wei Yuan out of the carriage. The raindrops hit on the oil-paper umbrella.
Wei Yuan took the umbrella and said lightly, "Wait for me here."
He held the umbrella and entered the palace alone. His black robe swayed in the wind and rain, as if he was facing the storm alone.
