Chapter 814

In this era, the method of growing seedless loquats could definitely be called a secret technique.

But for Xu Qi 'an, who had studied biology in junior high school, this was just a basic operation. He even knew that if the poor plants wanted to reproduce, they had to ask their neighbor, the bee, to help teach them.

The scene suddenly became a bit stiff. Xu Qi 'an's words really caught the officials off guard, and they couldn't believe it. When they first learned about the method of removing seeds from loquats, they all slapped the table and praised it.

But unexpectedly, it was actually revealed by a small gong.

Li Miaozhen's beautiful eyes widened, and she began to look at the small gong again. She realized that she might have guessed wrong. This gong might be a pervert who was hollowed out by wine and women, but he was not a good-for-nothing. He had some skills.

… To be able to be arranged by Inspector Zhang at the main table, it seemed that he had some skills. Li Miaozhen put away her contempt, and immediately realized that she had underestimated him.

The other silver and bronze gongs were arranged at other tables, so why could this kid sit next to the Inspector?

This was no longer something that could be explained simply by "having some ability". Weren't the other silver and bronze gongs talented?

"Ah, he shot himself in the foot." Li Miaozhen sneered, taking pleasure in his misfortune. She was happy that Governor Song was humiliated.

Even with Governor Song's proficient cultivation in officialdom, the shame in his heart still surged endlessly. Previously, he had made extravagant claims, saying that he had the protection of the White Emperor, and that he had been nurtured by incense. But in the end, in front of everyone and the Inspector, he was forcibly exposed.

"Ning Yan, this kind of petty trick, Governor Song will naturally explain to me, why are you so nosy?" Inspector Zhang reprimanded.

On the surface, he was reprimanding Xu Qi 'an, but in fact, he was secretly ridiculing Governor Song.

"… May I know the name of this Lord?" However, with the Inspector-General's interruption, the Administrative Envoy finally regained his composure and asked with an unchanged expression.

"My surname is Xu, first name Qi 'an, courtesy name Ning Yan." Xu Qi' an replied.

"This boy is quite talented." Zhang Xun stroked his beard and raised Xu Qi 'an with a smile.

Sure enough, the officials shifted their gazes back to him, thinking about the identity of this gong, as well as his position in the inspection team.

"So his name is Xu Qi 'an … Eh, this name sounds so familiar." Li Miaozhen pondered for a moment and remembered who Xu Qi 'an was. She remembered that Number Three had once mentioned this person and praised him.

"It's him … He is really extraordinary to be valued by Number Three."

The awkwardness was forcibly resolved by Minister Song. He casually introduced the local customs and practices of Yunzhou, but did not mention anything about Pi Pa, which proved that he still cared a lot about it.

When Inspector Zhang was a little drunk, the banquet ended. He didn't get drunk, nor did he foolishly suggest going to the Musical House to have some fun. Otherwise, Song Tingfeng would definitely be very happy.

This kind of elegant banquet would not be too extravagant. Just like the officials in the imperial court, they almost never went to the Musical House.

"When you reach a certain position, your identity will push you to care about your image." "Even if you are a greedy man, you have to show a great and honorable image."

"Take Xu Qi 'an for example. He can enjoy free sex as much as he wants because he is young and has a low status."

"But when he becomes powerful one day, he has to pay …"

After leaving the mansion, Inspector Zhang and the other officials bade farewell to each other outside the mansion. Then he got on the carriage and left.

After the carriage drove for a distance, he raised the curtain of the window and praised, "Ning Yan, well done."

Xu Qi 'an knew he was referring to the seedless loquat, so he said, "It's a piece of cake."

Inspector Zhang clicked his tongue, and his tone became more and more casual, without the airs of an official. "You are even proficient in agriculture?"

Before Xu Qi 'an answered, Jiang Lvzhong, who was in the front, interrupted with a smile, "He is even proficient in alchemy. He is not worse than the Celestial Commissioner in white."

"You pretended to be cool, then what should I pretend to be?" Xu Qi 'an corrected him, "Wrong, the Celestial Commissioner in white should call me half a teacher."

The three laughed.

Xu Qi 'an took the opportunity to ask, "Why are you so friendly today?"

Inspector Zhang looked back at the mansion that was out of sight, and said in a deep voice, "In Yunzhou, the Chief Secretary Song is in charge, and he is not on good terms with Yang Chuannan."

Xu Qi 'an recalled, "He is a little cold … but Yang Chuannan is cold to everyone."

Inspector Zhang sneered, "This shows that most of the officials in Yunzhou are surnamed Song."

"Please advise me, Sir."

"Among the three departments, the Chief Secretary has the most power, but it was Chief Secretary Song who greeted me just now. Although the Chief Secretary should show up on such an occasion, if you think about it carefully, the first person he introduced to me was the Inspector-General of Punishment, not the Chief Secretary. Obviously, the relationship between these two is not good.

"I noticed at the banquet that Yang Chuannan is silent most of the time, while the Chief Secretary is like the master. Heh, this is a very important thing in the officialdom, and cannot be overstepped. "Inspector Zhang smiled,

"Ning Yan, learn a little."

"I am a Warrior, why should I learn these things?" Xu Qi 'an secretly noted.

"Also, now I understand." Inspector Zhang said, "Do you know why the one surnamed Song gave the loquats at the banquet?"

"To show off …" Xu Qi 'an shook his head, "I don't know."

"Anyone who is curious will ask, but he didn't answer, which is considered to be giving me a show of strength." Inspector Zhang sneered,

"He also gave me a hint, if I get rid of one person, Yunzhou will be safe. Just like the loquats. "

It goes without saying who to get rid of.

Do you officials have to … You only know how to fight and scheme every day … Xu Qi 'an pinched the space between his eyebrows, feeling a headache coming on.

Duke Wei is right, I am indeed not suitable for the officialdom. A person's energy is limited, half of it is given to Fu Xiang, and the other half is reserved for cultivation.

I don't have so much energy to mix in the officialdom anymore.

Xu Qi 'an looked like he was having a headache, which made Inspector Zhang laugh heartily, and his mentality was immediately balanced.

"Lord Inspector, why don't we guess another word riddle?" Xu Qi 'an smiled faintly.

Inspector Zhang wanted to refuse subconsciously, but he felt that his dignity as a scholar was being challenged, so he raised his eyebrows, "Go ahead."

"When a woman gives birth, guess four words," Xu Qi 'an said with a smile.

Inspector Zhang's expression gradually froze, and gradually became confused, and gradually became helpless and furious … Then, he lowered the curtain of the carriage window.

"Hahaha." Jiang Lvzhong and Xu Qi 'an laughed together.

"Hmph!" Inspector Zhang's cold snort came from the carriage.

…

On the other side, the Commander-In-Chief Yang Chuannan entered the carriage. Just as he lowered the curtain, it was lifted again. Li Miaozhen, who had a high ponytail and a heroic bearing, came up.

"You entered my carriage under the watchful eyes of the public, aren't you afraid that your reputation will be tarnished?" Yang Chuannan frowned and said.

"People of Jianghu don't care about such things," Li Miaozhen waved her hand, "I'm here to ask you about the situation, that Inspector Zhang seems to be quite polite. Maybe he's just going through the motions, do you want to spend some money to bribe him? "

She knew the rules of Daibun's officialdom, those who had money were friends. Even if they did not have money, their blood brothers would still be impartial and impartial.

"Giving money to the Imperial Censor, are you tired of living?" Yang Chuannan shook his head and said,

"I can consider killing all of them in Yunzhou."

Li Miaozhen rolled her eyes, "What do you think of this Inspector Zhang?"

"Average," Yang Chuannan commented.

"That's good, the more useless he is, the safer you are," Li Miaozhen smiled and said.

"Average doesn't mean average," Yang Chuannan shook his head, "Those who don't show their claws and teeth are the most dangerous. Maybe he's already secretly preparing to give me a fatal blow. "

After a pause, he continued, "You need to pay attention to that gong."

Li Miaozhen, who already knew that Xu Qi'an was unusual, raised her eyebrows, "What did you see?"

The wheels of the carriage rattled, Yang Chuannan lifted the swaying curtain, looked at the night sky outside, and pondered, "His saber is different from the other night watchmen, but it's also a saber, not some other weapon.

"As far as I know, the saber of the night watchmen comes from the Celestial Commissioner, it's considered half a magic weapon. There's only one explanation, that is, this person is wearing a magic weapon. "

Li Miaozhen nodded, "And to be able to use a magic weapon, either his identity isn't ordinary, or his relationship with the Celestial Commissioner isn't ordinary."

"His aura isn't right either, I've observed him. Although he's very honest and reserved when he doesn't speak, he actually doesn't have much respect for Inspector Zhang or Song Zhangfu. This can be understood as the arrogance of a martial artist, but it's really rare to have such arrogance in the Qi Refining State. "

As for Jiang Lvzhong, the fourth rank of Jinluo, there was nothing to say, it was right to be afraid of him.

…

After returning to the courier station, Xu Qi'an, who still had to work hard to cultivate, wrote down the two sets of secret codes left by Zhou Min on the rice paper.

In the end, it's still me who has to carry everything … The promotion method of the Spirit Refinement State, if it was in my era, would definitely be very popular … Otakus would work until the end of time, until all their hair fell off, until their girlfriends were traumatized … Oh, they don't have girlfriends, then it's fine.

"Old Jiang said that the Warrior system is a system that improves itself step by step, and finally becomes a terrifying existence like the gods and demons … The Spirit Refinement State and the Qi Refining State are more like the martial arts movies I've seen in my previous life, and they're still low-level martial arts … But after the Spirit Refinement State, the level is elevated … The Qi Refining State still needs to eat and sleep, I suspect that the Spirit Refinement State can go without sleep for a long time … This is already inhuman."

Xu Qi'an's guess was reasonable. The Spirit Refinement State tempered the body, allowing martial artists to fight with high intensity. The Spirit Refinement State tempered the primordial spirit, and the promotion method was to work hard and stay up all night.

Once successfully promoted to the Spirit Refinement State, the body and primordial spirit could work hard for a long time without sleep.

All major cultivation systems, including the martial artist system, were cyclical. Each rank was to lay the foundation for the next rank.

For example, in the Warlock system, the rank of Doctor was to lay the foundation for the Qi Observation Technique, and the Qi Observation Technique was to lay the foundation for the Feng Shui Master, and the enhanced version of the Feng Shui Master was the Formation Master.

The logic was very strong, and it gave people a feeling that it was not a fantasy, but a down-to-earth promotion.

His thoughts returned to the case. "The secret code is not from the Yamen, it should be Zhou Min's own … This is a bit ridiculous, who can guess it? The difficulty is like I left a secret code: Withered leaves young orange pear gauze thin, falling flowers fill the sky, sea wings follow."

"In the entire Nine Provinces, no one in the world can match it.

"I've written too much profiling today, and my brain cells are severely depleted. But I can't sleep, it's boring … If only Fu Xiang was here, we could happily do some physical and mental exercise … But I might suddenly die on her white belly …"

At this moment, his heart suddenly palpitated, and he almost died.

He hurriedly took a deep breath, and then fumbled under his pillow for the fragment of the Book of the Underworld. Filled with anger, he was ready to scold the idiot who was not sleeping in the middle of the night.

[Two: Number Three, I have something to ask you. You can state a condition in exchange.]

Number Two, is it that military girl? I was just fretting that I didn't have a chance to test her … Xu Qi'an used his finger as a pen and typed: [Heh, I want to hear your question first.]
