Nightwatcher

The two of them, one in front of the other, walked through many courtyards and walked to the depths of the small garden.

On the way, the purple skirt girl Xu Yuanshuang said in a low voice:

"My mother wants to ask about him!"

Ji Xuan smiled: "As expected, over the years, the tribe has been harsh to my aunt and said some bad things. But I think what my aunt did back then is human nature. As a mother, how can I not love my child?" of.."

Xu Yuanshuang glanced at him: "Brother Seven is implying that my father is not as good as a beast?"

Ji Xuan's smile did not change: "The national teacher just made a choice, what is Cousin Yuanshuang's attitude towards that person?"

Xu Yuanshuang sighed: "Father and uncle want him to die, I can't change it, but to me, he is the elder brother of one mother. All I can do is try not to pay attention to him and treat him as if he doesn't exist."

Ji Xuan narrowed his eyes: "But I heard from Yuan Huai that you often take the initiative to inquire about him."

"."

Xu Yuanshuang's soft face turned red.

The two ended their conversation and walked in silence for a while.

Whirring whirring!

There was a whistling sound like the sound of the wind, and he turned into a large courtyard, only to find that it was a young man practicing with a gun, with a nine-foot spear in his hand, which made him look fierce.

That big gun had a pitch-black barrel, and the tip of the gun was a golden dragon's head with its mouth wide open, and the tip of the gun spit out from the mouth.

With a stern face, he brandished a big gun, whistling, and the wind howled in the yard, stirring up dust.

"Yuan Huai."

Ji Xuan greeted with a smile.

The young man who practiced the gun stopped the momentum of the gun, looked sideways, a faint smile appeared on his stern face, and said, "Sister, Brother Seven."

"Yuan Huai's marksmanship has improved again, have you realized the intent of the spear yet?" Ji Xuan laughed.

"Nearly."

Xu Yuanhuai nodded, and said, "Within half a year, you will be able to enter the fourth rank."

His expression was stern, and his tone was cold, as if promotion to the fourth rank was a trivial matter.

Ji Xuan said with emotion: "Yuan Huai's talent is really terrifying."

Xu Yuanhuai, seventeen years old, possessed an extremely terrifying talent for cultivation. At fifteen, he refined essence. At sixteen, he had copper skin and iron bones. At seventeen, he had already touched the threshold of the fourth-grade "mind".

Of course, this is also inseparable from the abundant resources. The status of the Xu family siblings in Qianlong City is no worse than that of Ji Xuan and his brothers and sisters.

He has been taught by a famous teacher since he was a child, there is no shortage of pills, there are masters to feed him, and so on.

For this kind of prominent young geniuses, the refinement state can only be practiced after the body grows, but the god refinement state can be practiced first.

Thinking about it since childhood, tempering the primordial spirit, it is a matter of course to step into the state of refining the gods after passing the two realms of refining essence and qi training, and then there is no difficulty in tempering the body with top-level pills.

However, Xu Yuanhuai was promoted smoothly to the fifth rank after the sixth rank in just one year, which shows the strength of his talent.

Although Xu Yuanhuai possessed a fifth-grade strength, the jiaomang spear in his hand was a top-level magic weapon. The body of the gun was made of the spine of a fourth-grade jiaolong, and the tip of the spear was forged from the sharpest and hardest teeth of a jiaolong.

In addition, the primordial spirit of the fourth-grade flood dragon is sealed in the spear.

With this gun, and the other magic tools that accompany him, none of the ordinary fourth ranks is his opponent.

Compared to the eldest son who was regarded as a container, Xu Pingfeng treated the second son quite well.

"Why is Seventh Brother here?"

Xu Yuanhuai asked.

Ji Xuan replied: "Auntie has something to ask me."

Xu Yuanhuai looked at his sister as if he had a spear in his hand, stood firmly, nodded and said:

"Mother, I will lead you to the inner hall."

Ji Xuan shook his head with a smile. This cousin seemed to be quite interested in that elder brother whom he had never met before.

The three cousins ​​walked through the courtyard and entered the inner hall. On the high chair sat a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes, with a dignified oval face, snow-skinned cherry lips, and extremely beautiful features.

She is no longer young, but the years did not leave marks on her beautiful face, but instead precipitated her temperament, giving her a mature charm that girls do not have.

There is a touch of sadness between her brows, like a lilac flower bearing sorrow.

"aunt!"

Ji Xuan saluted and greeted with a smile.

"mother!"

Brother Xu Yuanhuai and Xu Yuanshuang also shouted.

The beautiful woman held the tea bowl, pinched the tea lid with green onion-like jade fingers, and gently knocked on the rim of the cup, her voice was magnetic and soft:

"He is back?"

When asking questions, the beautiful woman stared fixedly at Ji Xuan, and exerted a little force on the fingers holding the tea lid.

"The national teacher has returned, and he summoned me with my father just now."

When Ji Xuan smiled, he squinted his eyes, looking friendly and easy to get along with.

The beautiful woman held her breath, and said slowly: "Is the matter over?"

Brother Xu Yuanhuai and Xu Yuanshuang immediately looked over and waited for the answer.

Ji Xuan pondered, and said: "Auntie wants to ask, has the luck in Xu Qi'an's body been taken out?"

The beautiful woman's breathing suddenly became heavy.

Ji Xuan shook his head and sighed: "The national teacher has failed."

Hu. The beautiful woman's towering chest rose and fell, as if relieved.

Xu Yuanshuang, a girl in a purple dress, had a complex expression.

Xu Yuanhuai still had that stern expression, unchanged.

The beautiful woman couldn't hide her smile. Her decision back then was correct. If anyone in Kyushu could protect the eldest son, it would be the prison.

Whether it is the great family business or the great ambitions of her husband, in her eyes, they are not as good as the child born in September of her pregnancy.

Although she was imprisoned here because of this, even though she gave birth to another son and a daughter, she was left in the cold for more than ten years.

Everyone in the clan said that the child was mediocre, incompetent, and ineffective. Compared with his younger brothers and sisters, he was simply a pile of mud that couldn't support the wall. Such waste is used as air transport containers, which is considered to be the best use.

Just because of the benevolence of her woman, she delays important events.

She scoffed, the family business is so big, why should she sacrifice her child.

In the past ten years or so, the people of the clan have often used the term trash to ridicule and stab her. During the years of Jingcha, such talk gradually became less common. Now, no one dares to say that the child is a trash.

If her child is useless, are there still capable people in the world?

Ji Xuan said again: "Not only did he fail, but he was also seriously injured. It may take a period of retreat before he can recover."

"Jianzheng is indeed powerful, it is really too much for father to plan against him."

With a pleasant voice, Xu Yuanshuang shook his head slightly.

Xu Yuanhuai commented lightly:

"Naturally, first-grade warlocks are not easy to deal with. Father should use conspiracy as a supplementary, and Yang schemes are the main ones. Only by attacking the city and conquering the land in an upright manner, can we replace it."

Ji Xuan thought about it:

"According to the meaning of the national teacher's words, it seems that it is not the prison that hurt him, but the backlash of luck."

"Luck backlash? How is Xu Qi'an now? Tell me clearly."

The beautiful woman frowned, asking questions repeatedly.

Seeing her aunt and cousins ​​all looking over, Ji Xuan shrugged and said:

"Anyway, my father and the national teacher didn't say it was a secret. Well, the national teacher's failure this time seems to be because Xu Qi'an guessed his identity and the behind-the-scenes truth related to luck in advance, so he had already planned it.

"As for the backlash of luck, the national teacher didn't go into details, but it's obviously related to Xu Qi'an."

She had guessed his identity long ago. The beautiful woman was both pleasantly surprised and sad. The pleasant surprise was that the eldest son was so powerful that even a second-rank warlock could no longer easily control life and death, which made her proud.

How would grief be such a truth that it would hit him?

Xu Yuanshuang slightly opened her eyes wide, and the beautiful young girl couldn't hide the shock in her eyes. She came from the Warlock system and knew how powerful and terrifying her father was.

That elder brother who was far away in the capital ruined his father's twenty-year plan and seriously injured his father in the counterattack. What a shocking talent this is.

Xu Yuanhuai remained expressionless.

The beautiful woman took a breath, and asked again: "Did he talk about Xu Qi'an's current situation?"

Ji Xuan nodded: "Yes, Xu Qi'an was sealed by the magic nail of the Buddhist sect, and his cultivation has been completely crippled. It is extremely difficult to break the seal, and it is probably hopeless."

The beautiful woman let out a low "ah", her eyes were red, she was worried and distressed.

Xu Yuanhuai frowned.

It's useless, but my sister Xu Yuanshuang showed a regretful expression. She looked at Ji Xuan and said:

"Seventh brother, father and uncle didn't just talk about these things when they came to you."

Ji Xuan looked at his cousin with a smile, and said calmly: "In a few days, I'm going to travel and help my father and uncle."

"What's the matter?" Xu Yuanshuang asked.

"Collect the spirits of the broken dragon veins, strengthen our luck, and contribute to the great cause of replacing the Dafeng royal family."

Xu Yuanhuai's eyes lit up, "Seventh Brother, I'll go with you."

Xu Yuanshuang frowned.

The smile on the corner of Ji Xuan's mouth slowly spread: "Okay, but you have to say hello to your father and the national teacher first."

Yongzhou City.

A young man in Tsing Yi led a horse and walked along the official road.

A mediocre woman sat on the horse's back, following the horse's walking, bouncing and bouncing, stepping on the stirrups from time to time to raise her buttocks to relieve the pain in her buttocks.

In this era, for ordinary people, long-distance travel is extremely tiring, and those with weak bones may even die of illness on the way.

Fortunately, the two of them walked all the way, riding boats and riding horses, and the speed was not fast. Occasionally, they would stay in the inn for a day or two to relieve the fatigue of running around.

This pair of mediocre men and women, blending in with the common people, is inconspicuous, not as eye-catching as the mare with the steed under the woman's crotch.

At least this horse, tall and strong, with beautiful curves, looks like a top-notch one.

"I came to Yongzhou City once. In order to save a friend, I will tell you a secret. In the mountains dozens of miles south of the city, there is an ancient underground palace. Inside is an ancient corpse sleeping for thousands of years. It is very strange."

Mu Nanzhi showed a scared expression: "You are lying."

Xu Qi'an winked and said: "What did I lie to you, when you sleep at night, remember to lock the doors and windows, and don't open the door if someone knocks."

Mu Nanzhi looked at him suspiciously: "You are the one who will knock on my door."

"Nonsense."

Xu Qi'an was serious: "We've been walking for so many days, have I knocked on your door?"

"That's right!"

Mu Nanzhi pouted her buttocks again, half lying on the filly's body, to relieve the soreness of her buttocks.

When the two entered the city, there were many people walking on the street, and the cloth on the archway was fluttering in the wind, creating a bustling and bustling scene.

Xu Qi'an asked the people on the side of the road where the best inn in Yongzhou City was, and after asking the address, he led the horse and walked towards the direction directed by the well-meaning people.

Mu Nanzhi smiled.

This stinky man is quite trustworthy, and he took her to live in the best inn and eat the best food. Now that she is in Yongzhou City, she plans to visit the rouge gouache shop.

Passing by a pharmacy, Xu Qi'an tied the little mare to a horse post outside the shop, and said with a smile, "Wait a minute, I'm going to buy something."

Mu Nanzhi didn't bother to get off the horse, so she gave a reserved "hmm".

After entering the pharmacy, Xu Qi'an came to the counter and said, "Shopkeeper, here are two catties of arsenic."

"Two, two catties?"

The shopkeeper in a blue gown looked at the guest who had just arrived.

Xu Qi'an put two pieces of broken silver on the table.

The shopkeeper immediately felt that the guest's temperament and appearance were both blooming, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, wait a moment."

Immediately ordered Xiao Er to weigh two catties of arsenic.

Xiao Er quickly fetched the arsenic and weights, weighed the weight in front of Xu Qi'an, packed it for him, and said:

"Guest officer, take care of it."

Xu Qi'an took it, opened the paper bag again, took off the water bag, poured part of the arsenic into the water bag, shook it gently a few times, and then drank it down in front of the shopkeeper and the waiter.

"As expected of a pharmacy in Yongzhou City."

Xu Qi'an gave a thumbs up: "The taste is right!"

The shopkeeper sat down on the ground, looking at him with a terrified expression.

The waiter's jaw almost fell to the ground.

"Excuse me, goodbye!"

Xu Qi'an took the remaining arsenic and left contentedly.
