Chapter 361

Li Lingsu wanted to go out anyway, so he quickly caught up with Xu Qi 'an, intending to leave the inn with him.

"Your appearance is too flashy." Xu Qi 'an raised his hand to remind him.

My damn charm … Li Lingsu muttered in his heart out of habit. He suddenly choked and looked at Xu Qian's back, feeling a little depressed.

"Senior, I haven't collected the materials for a disguise."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xu Qian throw something over. He caught it and found it was a brocade pouch embroidered with orchids.

The Old Sea King twitched his nose, confirming that it was a woman's personal item …

"A storage artifact?"

Li Lingsu's eyes lit up, and his face was filled with joy.

As the Tenzō Saint, he originally had two storage artifacts. One was a gift from his sect, and the other was a fragment of the Book of the Underworld.

The storage artifact of his sect was confiscated by the Dongfang sisters, and the fragment was given to his meddlesome junior sister, Li Miaozhen.

"Thank you, Senior."

Li Lingsu was overjoyed. One had to know how important it was to have a storage artifact in the world of martial arts.

However, storage Dharma artifacts were too precious. Even a Heavenly Sect Saint would be punished if he lost a storage Dharma artifact.

Only Warlocks could mass-produce it.

"There's a veil hat inside," Xu Qi 'an said lightly.

Li Lingsu took out the veil hat from the brocade pouch and put it on. He glanced at Xu Qian's appearance, and his heart skipped a beat.

Xu Qian, which one is his real face?

"Senior, this isn't your real face." Li Lingsu tried to sound him out with certainty.

In the past, he had realized that Xu Qian, who was good at disguise, might not be his real face.

However, he had no evidence, and the Saint did not care about it.

Until he saw Luo Yuheng the day before yesterday, when he saw the real face of Daibun's number one beauty, Li Lingsu could no longer ignore it. He was looking forward to seeing Xu Qian's real face.

"Don't try to find out who I am. It won't do you any good," Xu Qi 'an said calmly.

Is this a threat … Li Lingsu curled his lips, "Senior, I thought we were friends."

Just because we are friends, I don't want you to embarrass me after knowing my identity … Xu Qi 'an muttered in his heart.

He recalled how the Saint had been so respectful to him as a junior along the way, as well as how he had dark circles under his eyes when he was suffering from kidney deficiency. If his identity was exposed in the future, Li Lingsu would definitely be the one to die.

The two of them strolled casually on the street. Throughout the entire journey, Xu Qi 'an kept the Orb of the Earth fragment in his sleeve.

He scanned his surroundings. Once a host of Dragon Energy appeared nearby, he would be able to detect it immediately.

With her hands behind her back, Li Lingsu strolled leisurely, clearly more confident than before.

This confidence did not come from her charm, but from the recovery of her cultivation.

.

The Big Corner Arena, the barracks of the original city guards.

Ji Xuan welcomed a Rank 4 secret agent, who was in charge of Yongzhou City.

"Your Excellency, you're really busy."

Ji Xuan held his teacup and blew on it. He looked at the agent, who was wearing a robe and a hood.

Before this, they were contacted by a Rank 4 secret agent from Zhangzhou. The reason they were forced to do this was because the Yongzhou agent was busy and could not take the time to deal with Buddhism and Xu Qian.

The secret agent smiled and looked at Xu Yuanshuang and Xu Yuanhuai. "I'm Shen, one of the 13 Rank 4 secret agents.

"In fact, my recent investigation is related to Xu Qian."

Hearing this, the siblings' expressions changed slightly. Xu Yuanhuai gritted his teeth.

Ji Xuan's eyes lit up.

"Before Leizhou, Xu Qian came to Yongzhou. I'll have to start from the underground palace outside Yongzhou City … "

Agent Shen told Ji Xuan and the Xu siblings about the incident in the underground palace.

"After that, the Gongsun Clan and Dragon God Castle sealed the underground palace and forbade anyone from getting close. Rumor has it that the Gongsun Clan and Dragon God Castle worked together to take all the treasures inside.

"I asked around and found out that someone called Xu Qian showed up the night the Gongsun Clan explored the underground palace."

Ji Xuan narrowed his eyes. "The Gongsun Clan knew Xu Qian a long time ago."

Xu Yuanhuai gritted his teeth. "How dare they trick us. Seventh Brother, I'll go to the Gongsun Clan now."

Ji Xuan raised his hand, signaling for them to calm down. He asked, "What's going on with the underground palace?"

Agent Shen paused for a few seconds. His voice was filled with fear.

"I only came to see you now because I was exploring the underground palace. It's an ancient tomb made of green ridge stones. It's so old that it's hard to imagine. An ancient corpse is sealed inside. "

'An ancient corpse?'

Ji Xuan furrowed his brows. "Is it dangerous?"

Agent Shen nodded. "I've already reported it to the Palace Lord. His reply was not to be a busybody. Also, the Palace Lord said that it solved one of his doubts. "

As for what it was, the agent didn't say because he didn't know either.

The intelligent Xu Yuanshuang frowned. "The Gongsun Clan and Dragon God Castle's actions aren't logical."

Based on the way the Jianghu did things, they would definitely push this matter to the authorities. They wouldn't spend so much manpower to seal off the mountain range where the underground palace was located.

In the entire Daibun Jianghu, only the Wulin League in Jianghu was passionate about maintaining order and being the law enforcer of the Jianghu.

"According to the information I got, Xu Qian was the one who asked them to do this."

"Xu Qian?!" Xu Yuanhuai raised his brows.

The agent nodded and didn't explain further.

He knew Xu Qian's true identity, but he didn't plan to tell the siblings. Although the Palace Lord didn't express his stance on this matter.

The agents tacitly kept quiet because they had two concerns. One: If the siblings had a good impression of the elder brother and were dissatisfied with their father's cruel actions, then telling them would only get in the way.

Two: If the siblings had enmity towards Xu Qi 'an, based on Xu Yinluo's character, they would still be executed. And if something happened to the siblings, the agents wouldn't be able to escape the blame.

Xu Yuanhuai immediately said, "I'll go to the Gongsun Clan first."

"No need!"

Ji Xuan waved his hand to stop Xu Yuanhuai's impulsive behavior. He analyzed, "Perhaps this is Xu Qian's test. If we go to the Gongsun Clan, he will be able to deduce a lot of information based on this incident."

"Most importantly, unless you can get a Buddhist monk to go with you, you'll be courting death. Don't forget that he has a third rank warlock with him. It's not worth the risk for the Gongsun Clan. "

As they spoke, Liu Hongmian swayed her waist and walked in. Her eyes sparkled. "The Gongsun Clan sent someone to inform us that they found that guy in the Six Gambling House."

'That guy' was the word used by the team to describe the host of Dragon Breath in Qingzhou Province.

The Gongsun Clan sent someone … Ji Xuan asked, "Do you have more detailed information?"

"No."

"Go and collect it now."

Agent Chen said, "Leave it to me. Yongzhou City is my territory."

…

On the archway of the Gongsun Manor, a sparrow stood quietly, looking in the direction of the mountain path.

…

On the other side, in a teahouse by the downtown area.

Xu Qi 'an and Li Lingsu sat at the table. The former ordered a pot of wolfberry tea, while the latter ordered a serious Maojian tea.

But looking at Xu Qi 'an's wolfberry tea, Li Lingsu felt jealous.

The two walked aimlessly for two hours without finding anything. Xu Qi 'an found a teahouse to rest and read the letters sent by the fishes in the pond.

Without any special selection, he picked up the first letter on the outermost layer. It was signed by Lin 'an.

"Dog slave,

"Brother Crown Prince succeeded the throne. I'm so happy. He has been working hard for so many years and finally ascended to the throne. He's full of energy. He said that he wants to cure Daibun's illness and restore him to his peak 20 years ago.

"Mother is not very happy because Brother Crown Prince doesn't agree to abolish the Empress Dowager. The reason is that Wei Yuan's henchmen are still around, and Brother Crown Prince needs them to work. Also, Wang Shoufu doesn't agree to abolish the Empress Dowager, at least not for the next few years … "

She briefly talked about the situation in the court, and then chattered about the current situation of her life.

"I can do whatever I want in the palace now. I can leave the palace whenever I want. In the past, it was difficult for me to sneak out of the palace to see you. Now that there are no restrictions, you are no longer in the capital.

"Si Mu and Xu Erlang are engaged, I really envy her …"

The hint was very obvious.

"When are you going back to the capital? This winter is very cold, remember to wear more clothes. If you see something fun, remember to buy it for me. Put it away first and give it to me when you return to the capital. Hateful dog slave, after so long, he didn't even send me a letter.

"The Fourth Prince is a lot more depressed. He has no hope anymore, hmph. Huaiqing is still the same as before, but her official position has been removed by Brother Crown Prince. Well, she used to be, seems … I can't remember what official she was, but she was a historian.

"I can bully her now, but she doesn't dare to fight back."

Xu Qi 'an smiled, his eyes gentle. In his mind, the charming and affectionate beauty in the red dress with an oval face flashed.

He then opened the second letter, which was from Huaiqing.

The letter from the eldest imperial daughter was much simpler. At the beginning, it was a courtesy greeting, and then it mentioned some of the situation in the court.

For the Crown Prince, oh no, the Yongxing Emperor's evaluation was: a monkey.

The Yongxing Emperor was played like a monkey by the ministers. Although he was hot-blooded and tried to clean up the official abuses and make Daibun flourish, he was not good enough. Without the help of Wang Shoufu and the few loyal people, Daibun might become worse.

Compared with Yuan Jing and Jeanne, the new emperor was still too young.

In addition to despising the Yongxing Emperor, Huaiqing was extremely worried about the future of Daibun, and even said:

Within two years, Daibun would face the test of life and death.

In addition, she complained a little about Lin An's ignorance, always finding trouble with her, but every time she was strong enough to suppress him.

But she never got tired of it.

So, between Huaiqing and Lin An, who was lying? Xu Qi 'an muttered, "My poor little nightclub queen."

"Huaiqing's political sense is as sharp and terrible as ever …" He thought.

The third letter was sent by Chu Caiwei. The letter was divided into two parts. The first part was Chu Caiwei talking to him about some nonsense and asking about the food in Daibun.

She probably planned to collect information in advance, so that if she traveled in Jianghu in the future, she would follow the list of recipes.

Then, she complained about a few weird senior brothers. For example, Song Qing invented some terrible creations every now and then, but was suppressed by the Supervisor.

For example, Yang Qianhuan came up with bold ideas every now and then, but was suppressed by the Supervisor.

For example, Senior Brother Sun, who had been wandering outside, finally came back, but everyone didn't like to talk to him or listen to him.

During the days when Senior Brother Sun was in the Celestial Commissioner, his brothers carried pen, ink, paper, and inkstone with them. When they saw Senior Brother Sun, they handed him the pen and paper without saying anything.

Once, she went to talk to the Supervisor and found that there was a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the Eight Diagrams platform.

In the end, she said that she would teach her junior brothers next year, and she was very excited and nervous.

But there was one thing that made her unhappy. The warlocks of the Celestial Commissioner secretly gave her future junior brothers a name: The Eaters.

The second half was Zhong Li's content. She briefly expressed that she was fine and asked if he was safe.

"If you are well, it is sunny. But Fifth Senior Sister, as long as you leave the Celestial Commissioner, there will be a storm, lightning, and thunder …"

Xu Qi 'an thought of the senior sister who wore a simple robe and always walked with her head down, and his heart was full of emotions.

Then he thought of Xu Yuanshuang.

"If she wants to be promoted, I am afraid she will face the same experience as Senior Sister Zhong."

The fourth letter was from Xu Lingyue.

She said that she had become an outer disciple of Renzong, but she did not want to cultivate, so she almost never went to the Lingbao Temple.

In the letter, there were some common things.

"Since father became a Qianhu, he has to buy some green oranges from time to time. I know there must be a secret, but mother still doesn't take it seriously as usual. Brother, do you know why?"

"Sister, are you testing me? Second Uncle is just a simple social interaction, don't think too much. By the way, you should pay attention to whether Erlang often buys oranges. If he is like Second Uncle, I suggest you secretly tell Simu Wang … "

"Chu Caiwei came to our house to eat and drink a while ago and gave mother a furnace of Retaining Youth Pill. Mother ate it for half a year, and became younger and more beautiful. But later, Lingyin and Lina ate it all.

"Mother doesn't want her daughter anymore, so she chased after Lina and Lingyin with a broom …"

"Aunt, they are just hungry …" Xu Qi 'an silently covered his face.

"The day before yesterday, Madame Wang invited me and Lingyin to her house as guests. The women of the Wang family think highly of themselves, which makes me extremely nervous and scared. Brother, you know, I never know the intrigue in a big family.

"Yes, Lingyin went to study in the Wang family's private school. A few days later, I heard that the teacher of the Wang family got sick. Bell Sound said that from then on, the gentleman did not speak to her.

"However, the teacher of the Wang family recommended her to go to the palace as a study companion, to listen to Taifu's teaching with the princes and princesses."

"Does that teacher have a grudge against Taifu?" This thought flashed through Xu Qi 'an's mind.

The princes and princesses referred to the nieces and nephews of Huaiqing and Lin 'an.

The nine princes of the Yuanjing Emperor had all got married and had children. Among the princesses, the third princess had married and had children, and the other three were still unmarried.

At the end of the letter, Xu Lingyue euphemistically expressed her miss for her brother.

The last letter was sent by Xu Erlang.

In the letter, he mentioned his daily work in the court, complained about the atmosphere in the officialdom, and was worried about the emptiness of the national treasury.

Xu Erlang said that he wrote to the Yongxing Emperor, hoping that he could make a donation, so that the dignitaries could spit out some money to help the people.

But it was rejected by the Yongxing Emperor.

"What's the use of a donation? In the end, the money of the people will be divided 30/70, and the money of the aristocrats will be returned in full!" Xu Qi 'an said in his heart.

"Recently, when I went to the Wang family's mansion, I found that the attitude of the Wang family towards me has changed greatly. Thinking about it, there was a change after Lingyue visited the Wang family. I think this is because Lingyue touched the Wang family with her gentleness. Brother, don't you think so? "

Erlang, your words seem to be a bit weird!
