Nightwatcher

When Chu Caiwei received the call, she immediately left the palace, followed the guards on horseback to Lingbao Temple, walked through gardens, passed through the halls of the ancestors of Renzong, and came to the small courtyard deep in the Taoist temple.

"Miss Caiwei, please."

An old eunuch in a python robe stood at the gate of the courtyard, smiling and making a "please" gesture.

Chu Caiwei let out a "huh", walked through the small courtyard with light steps, and stepped into the quiet room, her skirt swaying slightly.

In the quiet room, Emperor Yuan Jing and Luo Yuheng were sitting opposite each other across a coffee table. On the coffee table was a book of Taoism, an incense burner, and slender green smoke rising.

Chu Caiwei glanced at it and saw that there were no delicious cakes on the table, she looked away disappointed, and bowed her hands: "I have seen His Majesty, I have seen the national teacher."

Emperor Yuan Jing looked at the little junior sister in the eyes of Si Tianjian's white-clothed warlock. Her almond eyes were big and bright, her face was round and her sweetness was hidden. She was a cheerful girl who could make people happy unconsciously.

"The prison is asking you to come to see me, why?"

"It's like this, the third senior brother Yang Qianhuan practiced kung fu yesterday, and accidentally got mad. The second senior brother is not in the capital, and Song senior brother and I are not good at fighting."

Without saying a word, Emperor Yuan Jing frowned and interrupted, and said in a deep voice: "What, Yang Qianhuan has become obsessed with practicing kung fu?"

The old emperor raised the house leak to meet Lian Yeyu's fright and anger.

Luo Yuheng raised his eyebrows and stared at Chu Caiwei with waving eyes, which didn't seem like the style of a supervisor.

Chu Caiwei calmly said, "Therefore, Teacher Jianzheng asked me to borrow someone from His Majesty to fight against that bald donkey from the Western Regions on behalf of Sitianjian."

Borrower? !

The scheming Emperor Yuan Jing didn't agree immediately, but searched his stomach for a while, and didn't lock the expected character, then he frowned and asked:

"Who does the prison want?"

"Beat the watchman, Yin Gong Xu Qi'an." Chu Caiwei's voice was crisp.

In the quiet room, it suddenly became quiet.

After a long time, the old emperor asked for confirmation in an uncertain tone: "Xu Qi'an, Yin Gong Xu Qi'an?"

"Yes, it's Xu Qi'an who was very good at solving cases and died once when he came back from Yunzhou." Chu Caiwei said coquettishly.

Emperor Yuan Jing waved his hand, "Of course I know it's him, what I mean is, why Xu Qi'an."

The female disciple of Jianzheng is a little too simple in her mind. When talking to her, she must speak clearly so that she can understand.

Chu Caiwei shook her head honestly: "I don't know."

Emperor Yuan Jing let out a breath and waved his hand: "I see, you go first."

"OK."

Chu Caiwei left briskly. She planned to go to Princess Huaiqing's Dexin Garden to drink tea and eat cakes, and share her knowledge by the way.

When Chu Caiwei left, Emperor Yuan Jing held the teacup, pondered for a long time, and asked in a heavy tone: "Master, what do you think?"

"Xu Qi'an's talent is good, but as a martial artist, he has no chance of winning against Buddhism." Luo Yuheng's facial features are exquisite and dignified, and when his face is expressionless, he looks like a jade goddess.

"However, the Tianji Pan is a magic weapon that accompanies the body, so it will definitely not be borrowed. Maybe there is another reason for it."

Emperor Yuan Jing sighed and said: "Come on, let's leave him alone, this old man has a deep mind, and I have never been able to see through it. I still have something to do, so I'll go back to the palace first."

The person Emperor Yuan Jing disliked the most was Jianzheng, the entire Dafeng, he overlooked all the civil and military officials, even Luo Yuheng, the leader of the Renzong Dao, was called a Taoist friend with him, and he was on an equal footing.

Only the supervisor is the one he really wants to look up to, and Emperor Yuan Jing can't see through him at all.

For an emperor who holds supreme power, this is very uncomfortable.

Sitting in the chariot, Emperor Yuan Jing ordered: "Let Xu Qi'an come to the palace to see me."

"Your Majesty wants to see me?"

When Xu Qi'an received the news, he was eating melons outside the Star Observatory, looking at the monks headed by Du Er Luohan among the crowd.

"Yes, the guards in the palace are waiting at the yamen, Mr. Xu, hurry up." The gong who sent the message urged.

If I go later, this year's salary will be deducted. Without further ado, Xu Qi'an rode on the filly, whipped its small buttocks, and rushed back to the Yamen in a hurry.

After connecting with the guards waiting at the yamen, Xu Qi'an entered the palace, walked through the east gate silently, and came to the imperial study.

Six thick red pillars supported the tall dome, and there was no one behind the large desk covered with yellow silk.

Xu Qi'an waited for a quarter of an hour in the quiet imperial study room. Emperor Yuan Jing, who was dressed in Taoist robes and had black hair tied with a Taoist hairpin, arrived late. Instead of sitting on his own dragon chair, he stood in front of Xu Qi'an, squinting his eyes, examining the with him.

This look seems a bit like an old man looking at his son-in-law, with a bit of scrutiny, a bit of confusion, and a bit of unkindness!

Emperor Yuan Jing stopped in front of him, and said to Yin Luo, who was pleasing to the eye, "Have you heard about the fight between Jianzheng and Du'er?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I just saw it on the imperial list." Xu Qi'an replied respectfully.

"Fighting methods are usually divided into literary fighting and martial fighting. Duer and Jianzheng are hard-to-find masters in the world, and they don't know how to fight in person. This is often a matter between disciples."

This is understandable, the bosses sit behind and point out, and the disciples charge forward, but what does it have to do with me?

He was puzzled in his heart, so he heard Emperor Yuan Jing say calmly: "Jian Zhenggang borrowed someone from me, and I want you to fight!"

"?"

Xu Qi'an suddenly raised his head, and looked at Emperor Yuan Jing in astonishment.

Emperor Yuan Jing stared at him: "What do you think?"

What the hell are you worrying about, you ugly old man? Knowing that the god is in my body, you still sent me to the Buddhist gate Xu Qi'an immediately said: "The humble official has low strength, lack of talent and learning, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do it. Your Majesty, please allow the humble official to refuse."

Emperor Yuan Jing snorted, "Since the supervisor has made a decision, naturally it will not change. I came here not to listen to what you said. I want to tell you that this battle of skills has a lot to do with respect. You have to do everything possible Do whatever it takes to win."

You don't even think about why I can win?

Xu Qi'an clasped his fists expressionlessly: "The lowly position obeys the order."

Lingbao Temple.

Not long after Yuan Jingdi left, a woman wearing a layered and complicated white dress, gorgeous jewelry, and a silk scarf on her face entered the Lingbao Temple under the protection of the guards.

Without any transmission, she went straight into the depths of the Taoist temple and sat down in the gazebo.

On the pool next to the gazebo, Luo Yuheng, a female national teacher with stunning appearance, sat hanging cross-legged.

The woman masked in a silk scarf picked up a stone and threw it at Luo Yuheng quietly. When the stone was three feet close to Luo Yuheng, it was bounced back by a gas mask and hit the masked woman's forehead accurately.

She let out an "oops", squatted down covering her forehead, and said angrily: "A second-rank master is amazing, can a second-rank master just bully others casually?"

Luo Yuheng opened his eyes and said helplessly, "What are you doing here, don't disturb my cultivation if you have nothing to do."

The masked woman came to the pool with her skirt in her hand, and said with great interest: "The Buddhist sect is going to fight with the supervisor, there will be excitement tomorrow to watch."

"Just go and see."

"Of course I want to see it, but Emperor Yuan Jing doesn't allow me to leave the palace, so I can only change my appearance and sneak a look. But I want to watch from a close distance." The masked woman snorted.

"You can change your appearance and let others take you in." Luo Yuheng smiled.

"After I disguised myself, no one knew me, how could I be brought in?" She said irritably, as if feeling discouraged, she changed the subject and said:

"Let me tell you, that Xu Qi'an is really annoying. I have met him several times. He is simply a fool."

"With your beauty, isn't this human nature?" Luo Yuheng replied.

"Look, look, you didn't really talk to me, and you didn't even think about how I could show my true face when you spoke. In that case, that apprentice must have fallen in love with me on the spot.

"I have changed my appearance. After the disguise, I am a woman with an ordinary appearance, but with excellent temperament and charm"

Luo Yuheng interrupted impatiently: "The temperament and charm are excellent, so isn't it reasonable to be glib in front of you?"

She was dumbfounded for a moment

"Stop talking!" The masked woman turned away angrily.

She will never admit that she is just an ordinary woman with mediocre beauty.

And for such a woman, Xu Qi'an actually has a strong sexual interest in her, this man is simply a hungry and hungry disciple.

Dirty villain.

"Do you know who is going to replace Si Tianjian tomorrow and fight against Buddhism?" Luo Yuheng said suddenly.

The masked woman pricked up her ears.

"Xu Qi'an." Luo Yuheng didn't give a damn.

"Um?"

The masked woman turned around suddenly, her beautiful eyes widened: "Just him? Instead of Si Tianjian?"

Luo Yuheng nodded.

The masked woman was suddenly a little annoyed, she sat there, pinching her waist: "I'm so honorable, is there no one left? A brat was asked to fight on behalf of Si Tianjian."

She was trembling and cold for a while, and when she saw Luo Yuheng meditating again with her eyes closed, she also calmed down.

Sitting there, eyes rolling and rolling, I don't know what I'm thinking.

In Haoqi Tower, Xu Qi'an held tea and told Wei Yuan the information he had learned from the palace. Wei Yuan said, "Just do your best."

"I will definitely be punished by His Majesty, if I lose." Xu Qi'an was worried.

Wei Yuan laughed and said, "Don't worry, maybe fighting tomorrow will not be as difficult as you imagined."

Xu Qi'an's eyes lit up: "Wei Gong, do you know something inside?"

Wei Yuan glanced at him: "Use your brain!"

The eunuch asked: "What are the bets in the fight?"

"Diamond Sutra and Tianji disk."

"The Heavenly Secret Pan is the magic weapon that accompany the prisoner. It is unique in the world. If you lose the battle, you will only be punished by His Majesty, but he will lose a treasure. If you are not sure, will the prisoner borrow it from His Majesty?"

Am I so good, why don't I know Xu Qi'an murmured in his heart.

That night, he told his family that he represented Si Tianjian and fought against the Buddhist sect, and said: "If you want to join in the fun, you can take my badge and go to the venue belonging to the Yamen that beat the watchman."

Xu Pingzhi frowned: "Is there any danger?"

"It's just fighting skills, probably not." Xu Qi'an was not too sure, after all, he didn't know the details of tomorrow's fighting skills.

"Yeah, can we go in and see?" Aunt looked very heartless and said happily.

"I'm going too, I'm going too"

Taking advantage of the gap between swallowing food, Xu Lingyin raised her little hand high.

"You also want to watch the fun?" Xu Qi'an was a little surprised, the stupid younger sister seldom spoke when eating.

"There must be delicious food in a lively place." Xu Lingyin said swearingly, this is a philosophy of life that she summed up in her short six years.

"Why did the supervisor choose Big Brother?"

The only scholar in the family, responsible for IQ, Xu Cijiu frowned, and found that things were not simple.

To the little brother's doubts, Xu Qi'an could only say helplessly: "Who knows what the prison is thinking? Do you know, anyway, I don't know."

The little brother shook his head, expressing that he was as smart as he was, and he couldn't figure out what the prisoner was thinking.

After dinner, Xu Qi'an meditated and rested his mind. After he entered into a fairly good state, he stopped meditating and planned to take a good night's sleep to recharge his mind for tomorrow's battle.

"It seems that it is the right choice not to go to the Jiaofang Division these days. Men still need to know how to recharge their batteries."

He closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep when the familiar palpitations came.

I had no choice but to take out the fragments of the book on the ground, light the candle, and check the handbook.

[Four: Tomorrow is the battle between Jianzheng and Duer. I heard a surprising news from the national teacher. 】

【what news? 】

The members of the Heaven and Earth Association asked one after another.

Only Xu Qi'an's face changed drastically, and he thought to himself, "Shut up for me, shut up!"

Chu Yuanzhen used his finger to write, and passed on the letter: [Si Tianjian actually chose to let Yinluo Xu Qi'an come forward to fight. 】

After sending this message, Chu Yuanzhen looked forward to seeing the shocked reactions of the "group friends" before expressing their opinions, but in the end, there was no feedback at all.

"?"

Chu Yuanzhen frowned, did they already know?

[Two: What's going on with No. 4, deliberately teasing people? 】

[Six: No. 4 doesn't seem like this kind of person, maybe there's something temporary around me. 】

No. 4 has something to do hahaha, God bless you, you didn't tell me about me, otherwise No. 2 will reveal my identity in the group on the spot when they hear that I'm not dead. Xu Qi'an felt relieved.

At this time, he saw the biography of Daoist Jin Lian coming from the mirror: [Nine: I blocked them all for the time being, and number four was also blocked by me. 】

No. 4 blocked by the Taoist chief? !

Xu Qi'an was taken aback, and quickly sent a letter: [Thank you, Taoist priest. 】

[Nine: You're welcome. 】

You're welcome, let Li Miaozhen know about your resurrection now. After she comes to the capital, she can concentrate on preparing for the battle. You shit-stirring stick is useless.

[Nine: But paper can't hold fire, you are a smart person, you should understand what I mean. 】

[Three: I have my own measure. 】

Xu Qi'an plans to have an interview with Li Miaozhen, and talk about the past of everyone's social death together, so that Li Miaozhen will agree to keep his identity a secret.

Daoist Jinlian, you think I'm on the second floor, but I'm actually on the fifth floor.

[Three: By the way, Daoist, I seem to have seen the woman who has a relationship with me. 】

[Nine: Hehe, sooner or later we will meet, which means that your fate has come. 】

The fate has come Xu Qi'an swallowed, and passed the letter with a mournful face: 【The fate you mentioned, is it a serious fate? She is old enough to be my aunt. 】

The age of the old aunt is probably a few years younger than the aunt, and the aunt is 36 years old this year.

[Nine: I don't seem to have told you about the ability of the bodhi bracelet, um, it can block energy and change appearance. Buddhism is best at concealing its own temperament.

[The bracelet was won from an eminent monk when I was traveling in the Western Regions and doing good deeds to accumulate virtue. 】

That's it, if the old aunt is a beautiful woman who still has charm, I can still accept it. Moreover, from the experience and perspective of my previous life, it is actually the best age for a woman. Bah bah, thinking can't slip, I seem to have decided that she and I will have a bad relationship?

It must be the suggestion of Daoist Jinlian.

[Three: Taoist priest, what is Yuanyuan? 】

[9: There are many kinds of origins, and the friendship between each other is the origin. But friendship can be friends, confidants, benefactors and so on. 】

Hu Xu Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief.

After the chat, he wrapped himself in a thin quilt and fell asleep.

The next day, early in the morning, Xu Pingzhi returned home after asking for leave, and took his family members out, and he personally drove them to the Guanxing Tower to watch the excitement.

Xu Erlang rode a horse and followed the carriage.

As soon as he drove out of the small path in front of the house and was about to turn into the main road, he saw an ordinary-looking woman get out of a simple carriage parked by the roadside, and raised her hand to stop Xu Pingzhi's carriage.

Xu Pingzhi frowned and sized the woman up, "Who are you?"

"You are Xu Qi'an's second uncle?"

"yes!"

"Go to the Observatory?"

"yes."

The woman nodded, came over on her own, and climbed the carriage: "Take me to the Star Observation Tower, and tell Xu Qi'an that the matter of picking up my sachet will be cancelled."

Uncle Xu originally wanted to push the woman down, but when he heard the latter sentence, his expression became a little strange.

It sounds like this woman and her nephew still have some troubles?

"With Ning Yan's identity and aptitude, there shouldn't be any entanglement with a woman who is so much older than him. I was thinking too much, I must be thinking too much."

Xu Pingzhi planned to go home and question Xu Ningyan carefully, so he refrained from mentioning it for now.

After the old aunt got into the carriage, she was obviously taken aback when she saw the plump and beautiful aunt and the elegant and refined Lingyue. Then she recalled the handsome young man outside, and muttered in her heart:

The whole family is pretty good.

Then, she saw Xu Lingyin, who had the same appearance as herself at this time, with mediocre features. She was wearing a bun and sitting on a long chair, with her short legs dangling in the air.

He didn't pay attention to his arrival at all, and concentrated on eating the jerky in his arms.

The aunt looked carefully at the old aunt, and said reservedly: "Which family are you the wife of?"

The old aunt showed a gentle smile: "It's just an ordinary family. I want to go to Sitianjian to watch the fun, but I can't get in. I happen to know Mr. Xu's nephew, so I come here to enjoy the glory."

Aunt nodded, as long as this woman is not involved with her husband, she doesn't care.

Two women in similar grades chatted for a while, and my aunt realized that the other party called herself an "ordinary family", probably out of self-effacing.

This woman speaks elegantly and smiles reservedly, she is by no means an ordinary woman.

It should be an official who is familiar with Ning Yan. The wife in the family is not good, why didn't I see her man?

At this time, the old aunt looked at Xu Lingyin and asked casually, "Is this a relative's child?"

PS: Change first and then change.

ps: Thanks to the leader of "Mike and McDull" for the reward, I love you.
