Xu Qi'an tilted his head and saw a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes. They were charming, beautiful, and captivating.
The eyes were the window to the soul and the most important part of the five senses. Women who could make people forget about worldly affairs usually had a pair of eyes that overflowed with spiritual energy.
Lin An had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, but when she gazed at you, her eyes would be misty, making her exceptionally charming and affectionate.
But when she looked at you with such a pair of eyes, you would not have the heart to tease her and would be willing to cut out your heart and give it to her.
Xu Qi'an, who had originally planned to tease her, changed his mind and chuckled softly, "No, the military book was written by me. It has nothing to do with Duke Wei."
Lin An smiled in surprise. She had obtained a satisfactory answer and was extremely satisfied.
"Then why did you lie to Huaiqing?"
Lin An bounced lightly, her red dress like a wave of fire.
"Because Her Highness Huaiqing is too confident. It is difficult to overturn and change what she has decided on. Moreover, I did not show any knowledge in the art of war before, so it is reasonable for her to think that the military book was written by Duke Wei."
Xu Qi'an explained.
"Actually, it is she who does not believe you. I believe you very much. I will believe whatever you say." Lin An snorted proudly.
"Naivety also has its benefits …" Xu Qi'an said in his heart.
If she met a good man like him, a naive girl would be happy. But if she met a scumbag, the heart of a naive girl would be played by the scumbag.
Xu Qi'an never played with a girl's heart. He preferred a girl's body.
Before leaving the imperial city, Xu Qi'an looked back and glanced at the imperial palace in the depths of the imperial palace.
If there was a secret passage leading to the imperial palace, where would it be?
What secret did Master Hengy Yuan discover that forced the Yuanjing Emperor to send people to capture him?
…
On the stage outside the Directorate, a scholar dressed in a scholar's robe stood on the stage, vividly describing what he had seen and heard at the conference with his saliva flying everywhere.
"That barbarian called Pei Man Xilou is really very knowledgeable. He talked about astronomy and geography with the nobles of Hanlin Academy, and was not at a disadvantage. While the nobles of the Hanlin Academy were helpless, the great scholar Zhang Shen of the Yunlu Academy, Zhang Jinyan, came … "
Below the stage, the people listened with great interest. At this time, they finally heaved a sigh of relief and laughed.
"The great Confucian of Yunlu Academy is here. Doesn't that mean the barbarians won't be able to be arrogant anymore?"
"Yeah, who doesn't know that the Great Confucianism of Yunlu Academy is as high as the Stargazing Tower?"
The scholar on the stage shook his head and said helplessly, "No, Great Scholar Zhang Shen of Yunlu Academy also lost. Who would have thought that the barbarian would take out a book on the art of war? After Great Scholar Zhang Shen saw it, he admitted defeat."
The commoners below the stage were shocked and angry, and they were in an uproar.
"Even the great scholar of Yunlu Academy lost?"
"Did he really lose to the barbarians? D * mn it, are the scholars of Daibun all useless?"
"I'm so angry. It's even more infuriating than the Buddhist diplomatic mission last year."
The commoners scolded without any scruples.
The scholar on the stage pressed his hand down. "Everyone, calm down. If the Wen Group lost, why would I be standing here?"
Hearing this, the commoners gathered around did not calm down. Instead, they clamored even louder.
"Tell us quickly, don't keep us in suspense."
"Even the great scholar of Yunlu Academy lost. Who won the barbarians?"
The scholar from the Imperial Academy said with a smile, "Don't worry, let me continue. At this time, a young lord of Hanlin Academy stood up and said that he wanted to discuss the art of war with Pei Man Xilou. This young lord is called Xu Xinnian, and he is Xu Yinluo's cousin … "
He vividly described how Xu Xinnian took out the book on the art of war and how he convinced Pei Man Xilou.
When the commoners heard this, they cheered excitedly, saying that a tiger brother would never have a dog brother and that the Xu brothers were both outstanding people.
The scholar from the Imperial Academy deliberately paused and looked at the commoners praising Xu Xinnian. When it was about time, he changed the topic and said loudly, "Do you know who wrote the book on the art of war?"
The commoners stopped and looked at him blankly.
The scholar from the Imperial Academy said loudly, "It's Xu Yinluo, our Daibun's poetry champion, Xu Yinluo."
Their faces were filled with astonishment, but soon after, it turned into excitement and ecstasy.
Thanks to the Imperial Academy's unbridled praise and publicity for Xu Qi'an, the news that Xu Qi'an had convinced the barbarians with a book on the art of war quickly spread throughout the capital.
The commoners did not care about Pei Man Xilou's knowledge. They only knew that this barbarian had been extremely arrogant recently and that even the Imperial Academy had lost.
They had originally hoped that the great scholar from Yunlu Academy would show up and crush the barbarian's arrogance. But in the end, the news that came was that the great scholar from Yunlu Academy had also lost.
The people who heard this news were both shocked and angry. They mourned for his misfortune and were angry at his incompetence. But in the next second, almost all of their anger turned to joy. Xu Yinluo had his cousin make a move on his behalf and took out a book on the art of war, instantly convincing the barbarians.
Xu Yinluo's legendary experience had been added to another chapter.
The storyteller slapped the table and applauded. They finally had a new subject. Although the commoners were interested in the battle of magical powers of the Buddhist sects and how he single-handedly fought against eight thousand rebels, they had still heard it countless times.
Now, they could finally talk about something different.
…
Xu Qi 'an and Lin An did not leave. Not long after, Huaiqing also followed them out of the imperial city. She rode on an extremely luxurious and expensive carriage and arrived at the yamen of the night watchman.
After passing on the message, Huaiqing, who was dragging her skirt and had a luxurious bearing, met Wei Yuan on the seventh floor of the Building of Noble Spirit.
Wei Yuan stood in front of the map and examined it. He did not turn his head and said with a smile, "Why does Your Highness have the leisure to come to my place?"
Huaiqing bowed. In front of Wei Yuan, she had always considered herself as a junior and did not put on the airs of a princess.
"This Princess is here to ask for a book." Her voice was cold.
Wei Yuan returned to the side of the table and picked up his brush. He said, "I will give Princess a personal letter. Whatever book you need, you can just go to the desk warehouse to get it."
Huaiqing shook her head, her eyes sparkling with hope. "This Princess wants to read that book on the art of war. Duke Wei, you are proficient in the art of war, but there has never been a book circulated. It is truly a pity. Now that your book on the art of war has appeared, it is Daibun's fortune. "
Wei Yuan slowly shook his head and said gently, "That book on the art of war was not written by me."
It wasn't? Huaiqing's expression suddenly froze. Her eyes were slightly lifeless as she looked at Wei Yuan. A few seconds later, her pupils regained their focus and the emotions in her heart reacted like a tide.
The book on the art of war was really written by Xu Qi 'an. He was so proficient in the art of war, so why had he never mentioned it before? He had hidden it so deeply …
She was shocked and also somewhat resentful. Xu Qi 'an deliberately did not explain and deliberately made her embarrass herself in front of Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan smiled and said, "To be honest, I somewhat want to take him to the battlefield. With such a rare talent, Daibun will have another general after a few years of training. "
Huaiqing restrained her emotions and said with a faint smile, "Just sneak him there."
Wei Yuan looked down and said softly, "I won't."
…
Celestial Commissioner, Eight Trigrams Channel.
The Supervisor sat on the east side while Yang Qianhuan sat on the west side. The master and disciple had their backs to each other and did not hug.
"Not bad. You have grasped the basics of the formation that should be mastered. In three years at most, you can try to become a Seer." The Supervisor nodded slightly and said with a smile.
"What are the requirements to become a Seer?" Yang Qianhuan asked with great interest.
He had been in Rank-4 for five years. It was indeed time for him to improve. He had never succeeded in imitating Xu Qi 'an even once. This made Yang Qianhuan understand a principle.
There was a limit to being a mortal. If he wanted to surpass Xu Qi 'an, he could not be a mortal.
"Observe the stars for three years. If you have an epiphany, you can carve a formation to conceal yourself for three years," the Supervisor said slowly.
"I can't go out and meet people for six years?"
"Six years is the fastest speed. If you don't have enough comprehension, you might not be able to advance even if you spend six years after six years until the end of your lifespan." The Supervisor took a sip of wine and said emotionally,
"How can it be that easy to surpass mortals?"
Yang Qianhuan said firmly, "Master, I just want to be a mortal. It's fine if I don't become a Seer!"
The supervisor no longer paid any attention to him.
At this moment, light footsteps could be heard climbing up the stairs. A beauty with an oval face in a yellow dress walked up to the Eight Trigrams Channel and said excitedly,
"Senior Yang, the conference is over. Our Daibun won."
Yang Qianhuan said calmly, "Junior Caiwei, I'm not interested in a boring gathering of scholars."
Chu Caiwei blinked. "Xu Qi 'an also made a move."
Yang Qianhuan appeared in front of Chu Caiwei in a flash. He stared at her with the back of his head.
"Xu Qi 'an made a move? He recited a poem? Heh, how enviable. However, in this conference, he is only a side character. Forcefully reciting a poem to show his presence is just a small trick in my eyes. Xu Qi 'an has already fallen. "
Forcefully reciting a poem to show his presence isn't it you, Senior Brother … Chu Caiwei complained in her heart. She snorted.
"Xu Qi 'an didn't recite a poem. He didn't even appear."
Yang Qianhuan made a sound to express his doubts.
Chu Caiwei said crisply, "He wrote a book on the art of war and had Xu Erlang take it out at the conference. After Pei Man Xi Lou read it, he admitted defeat and was even willing to be his disciple. Now that book on the art of war has become a popular book … Eh, Senior Brother Yang, what's wrong? "
"Xu, Xu Ningyan's ability to show his divinity in front of the people has advanced by leaps and bounds. It has reached perfection. Perfection …" Yang Qianhuan said excitedly.
What is Senior Brother saying! Chu Caiwei glanced at the back of his head and said,
"He had to do this because he offended His Majesty. Otherwise, with Xu Ningyan's personality, he would have flaunted it everywhere. "
"No, no, you don't understand!"
Yang Qianhuan retorted fiercely. He waved his hands excitedly.
"The truly marvelous show of divinity in front of the people is like this. He hasn't arrived yet, but he can shock everyone. He hasn't arrived yet, but he can subdue the barbarians. He hasn't done anything from beginning to end, he hasn't said anything, but he has set off a huge wave in the capital.
"Xu Ningyan, Xu Ningyan, you really are my lifelong enemy. One day, I will surpass you and step on you. I will learn all of your skills. The more high profile you are, the more I will learn. In the future, you will regret it. "
Chu Caiwei blinked her eyes. She said innocently, "Then Senior Brother, first you have to write a book on the art of war."
Yang Qianhuan suddenly froze like a lifeless statue.
After a while, he murmured, "Mortals indeed have their limits. Teacher, I, I don't want to be a mortal anymore …"
The human world is not worth it! The Supervisor sighed desolately.
…
Late at night.
Xu Qi'an was lying on the bed with the petite Zhong Li sitting on his back. Doctor Zhong used her superb acupoint massage technique to dredge meridians and promote blood circulation for Xu Qi'an, or Daibun for short.
"Comfortable …"
Xu Qi'an half-sighed and half-groaned as he praised, "Speaking of which, I am also very proficient in acupoint massage technique. It's just that after Fu Xiang left, no other woman has been so lucky. Senior Sister Zhong, are you willing to be this lucky person? "
Zhong Li shook her head silently. Although she didn't know what he was talking about, shaking her head was the right thing to do.
Xu Qi'an was a little angry. "Then don't sit on me. Your butt is so big, it's pressing on me."
"Oh!"
Zhong Li replied in a low voice. She got down from his body, dragged her embroidered shoes, and returned to her small couch.
After sending Zhong Li away, Xu Qi'an took out the fragment of the Book of the Underworld. Using the dim candlelight on the table, he sent a message: [My big brother went to the night watchman's yamen today and found that the human traffickers under Count Pingyuan had all been beheaded.]
[Two: Hehe, your big brother is really awesome.]
Chu Yuanzhen didn't understand Li Miaozhen's sarcasm and thought that she was praising Xu Qi'an's talent.
[Actually, I suspect that the book of war was written by Wei Yuan. He just borrowed Brother Ningyan's hand to pass on the gift and use it to suppress the barbarians. Hmm, regarding the matter of Hengy Yuan, I thought about it again and again. Yuan Jing captured Master Hengy Yuan, but the Jinlian Taoist priest is sure that Hengy Yuan won't die.
[If I were Yuan Jing, I would definitely seal him in a place where I can see him. Let me ask you, where is the place that Yuan Jing can see and others can't find?]
[Two: the palace!]
The Flying Swallow Heroine answered cleverly.
Chu Yuanzhen continued: [Miaozhen is right, but according to Xu Ningyan's intelligence, King Huai's secret agents didn't enter the palace that day. They didn't even enter the imperial city.]
Xu Qi'an's heart skipped a beat. [You mean, the secret passage to the imperial palace is in the inner city?]
Chu Yuanzhen sent a message:
[I think so too, but there's an unexplainable doubt. You've all seen the map of the capital, right? The inner city leads to the imperial palace, and there's an imperial city in between. It would take half an hour to reach the imperial city from any gate in the inner city, even if you galloped on horseback. From the imperial city to the imperial palace, the journey is long. I don't believe that there's such a long tunnel.]
If that's the case, it wouldn't be a tunnel, but a tunnel. It's indeed impossible … Xu Qi'an nodded slowly.
To dig a tunnel, one would have to do it sneakily. After all, even the Yuanjing Emperor couldn't dig a tunnel openly.
The manpower and resources required to do so were truly terrifying. Moreover, there were many people in the capital. If one dug a tunnel under them, they would have sensed it long ago.
Chu Yuanzhen sent a message: [I'm thinking, could there be some kind of Earth Escape Technique?]
[Two: First of all, the Earth Escape Technique is difficult to cultivate, and there are only a few people who can master this technique. Also, it can only be used in an environment with Earth Veins.]
[Five: What is a Earth Vein?]
Lina played the role of a pawn perfectly.
[Two: Earth Veins are Earth Veins. I can't explain it, but Spellcasters can. Spellcasters are proficient in Feng Shui, so they know what Earth Veins are. Or, our knowledgeable Number Three knows what Earth Veins are.]
Miaozhen knows that Zhong Li is in my room, so she hinted for me to ask her …
The Flying Swallow Heroine is really loyal. She endured the awkwardness and didn't expose me. Muah … Xu Qi'an turned his head and looked at Zhong Li, who was lying on the couch. "Do you know what a Earth Vein is?"
