Nightwatcher

Chapter 639: Promise

Has nothing to do with the emperor?

Li Wang and others disdain to explain to a little girl what is the responsibility of a monarch.

Emperor Yongxing thought that his sister was complaining to him, but the current situation really did not allow her to mess around, so he said with a straight face:

"Lin'an, don't be rude.

"I still have to discuss with my uncles, you should step back first..."

A prince shook his head slightly:

"When the first emperor was in power, he was obsessed with cultivating Taoism and neglected the marriages of several princesses. Your Majesty, it is time to consider Lin'an's marriage. She is not young, and it is time to leave the court.

"The province is so rude and rude, and there is no progress at all."

Regardless of gender, marriage is the best catalyst to force people to mature and grow.

Lin'an kept a stern face, not showing good looks to his uncles, and saluted gracefully, saying:

"Brother Emperor, I know the reason for the change in Yongzhen Shanhe Temple. The ancestors are not out of anger, but for another reason."

Emperor Yongxing was taken aback at first, he didn't expect to say such words from her mouth at all, and then raised the case in surprise, and asked:

"It's not that the ancestors were furious. There are other reasons? Lin'an, please tell me what's going on."

The princes also looked over in astonishment.

"Zhen Guojian is now in Xu Qi'an's hands. He fought with the Buddhism, Witch God Sect and Yunzhou sect in Jianzhou Quanrong Mountain. He protected Longqi and Quanrong Mountain.

"The changes in the Shanhe Temple in Yongzhen are related to this."

Linan told her exactly what Huaiqing told her.

She didn't explain clearly the meaning of the battle of Mount Quanrong, nor did she explain the deep connection between the change of Yongzhen Shanhe Temple and that battle.

But this is enough. For the royal family present, this information is enough for them to piece together and analyze the truth.

Zhen Guojian was in the hands of Xu Qi'an, he fought against various forces in Mount Quanrong, and kept the dragon energy. Emperor Yongxing's pupils dilated, and his mood was extremely complicated.

After knowing the truth of the matter, what surged in my heart was a strong sense of security.

Then Xu Qi'an is like a generation of good generals in the history books, guarding the border, so that he, the monarch, can rest easy.

It turned out to be the brief silence in his imperial study, and the princes did not speak for a long time.

"It turned out to be in Xu Qi'an's hands."

After a while, the gray-haired King Yu pondered and said: "It seems that the Jianzheng took away the Zhenguo Sword and gave it to Xu Qi'an. I didn't expect Buddhism, Witch God Sect and Yunzhou's rebellious party to gather in Mount Quanrong."

A prince frowned: "But what does this have to do with the broken tablet of the ancestors and the damage to the statue of Emperor Gaozu?"

The old Li Wang got up on crutches, and said in a deep voice:

"No matter what, it's good to keep the dragon's energy. Immediately let the Jianzhou chief envoy investigate this matter. How many masters have been dispatched by Buddhism, the Witch God Sect, and the remnants of Yunzhou, the battle process, etc., must be investigated in detail.

"Understanding the situation, we may be able to understand why the sculpture of Emperor Gaozu was damaged.

"The forced prisoner is sending Zhen Guojian out of the capital. This battle is by no means easy. We must investigate clearly."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Lin'an, his eyes softened a lot, and said:

"Girl, how do you know this?"

Lin'an raised his chin, "Of course I have a way to contact Xu Qi'an."

King Li frowned, and looked at Emperor Yongxing suspiciously.

The latter sits high on the desk, smiling:

"Uncle cultivates his personality and rarely goes out, you don't know, but when Xu Qi'an hadn't risen, Lin'an took care of him everywhere, and the two of them had a deep friendship.

"My face as the Son of Heaven, in front of Xu Qi'an, is not as good as Lin'an's one out of ten.

"It's not surprising that they have a way to communicate in private."

King Li glanced at Lin'an with a deep friendship, and his eyes flashed.

Emperor Yongxing paused for a moment, leaned slightly, looked at King Li, then looked around at the princes and princes, and said:

"Since this is the case, do I still need to issue an imperial edict?"

King Li waved his hand.

Prince Yu said:

"What we need to do now is to find out this matter as soon as possible. The greater Xu Yinluoli's contribution, the better for His Majesty. If someone uses the changes in the ancestral temple to attack His Majesty, His Majesty can take advantage of the opportunity to announce the truth.

"Not only will it not damage His Majesty's reputation, but it will be beneficial."

The smile on the corner of Emperor Yongxing's mouth widened, and he glanced lightly at the Fourth Prince.

The latter lowered his head without any expression.

The proceedings are over.

Huaiqing led the court lady back towards Dexin Garden with graceful lotus steps and flying skirts.

"Huaiqing."

The fourth prince was heading in the same direction as her. Seeing that his sister was ahead, he quickened his pace and chased after her.

Huaiqing slowed down his pace, waiting for him to catch up, and at the same time glanced at the two maids beside him, and sent them away.

The fourth prince followed her pace, walked side by side with her, gritted his teeth and said:

"Hateful! Originally, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but his reputation was swept away, and his prestige was lost.

"You didn't see how proud he was when he said that Xu Qi'an and Lin'an had a deep friendship, he was clearly speaking for us.

"After King Li heard this, his attitude towards Lin'an immediately changed."

Having said that, the fourth prince looked up and down at his younger sister, and said:

"I remember that Xu Qi'an originally belonged to you. You brought him to the imperial city to attend a banquet that day, and he made a song based on it, "I don't know the sky is in the water when I'm drunk, and the boat is full of clear dreams pressing the galaxy".

"Now Lin'an has taken the lead."

Huaiqing, who was originally expressionless, darkened and seemed to be a little angry. He turned his head to look at the fourth prince, and said calmly:

"Brother Huang thinks that in the current situation, if you sit on the dragon chair, you will do better than Yongxing?"

"Of course I will be more beautiful than him."

The fourth prince frowned.

"It's just the difference between fifty steps and one hundred steps. Dafeng's current form cannot be restored by one person. Whoever sits in that position will not make a big difference. If this is the case, why should you be anxious?"

Huaiqing said lightly.

The fourth prince looked at her: "What do you mean?"

Huaiqing turned and left: "It's been a while since Brother Si Huang read history. Chapter 13 of the second volume of "Zhou Ji" is very interesting. You can read it in your spare time."

Jianzhou.

Xu Qi'an drove the Buddha Pagoda and took Mu Nanzhi, the little mare, Bai Ji and Chai Xing'er who had settled in Jianzhou City back to Mount Quanrong.

During Chai Xing'er's stay in Jianzhou, her cultivation base was sealed. Of course, even so, she couldn't deal with the powerless Reincarnation of the Flower God.

Well, it remains to be confirmed whether she has no power to restrain the chicken. After all, Xu Qi'an didn't give her a chance.

Fortunately, there is also Bai Ji, although this fox cub is also a war scum, but thanks to the good foil of his peers, he has become a pillar.

There is no problem in dealing with Chai Xing'er who is weak and her cultivation level has been sealed.

In order to ensure everything was safe, Xu Qi'an also gave Chai Xing'er Ruanjin Powder.

"Is the fight over, won or lost, and what is the loss of Buddhism."

Bai Ji pestered him chatteringly, inquiring about the situation of the battle in Mount Quanrong.

This doesn't fit her lazy style, so Xu Qi'an asked:

"Are you going to tip off Nine-Tailed Fox?"

Bai Ji's black button-like eyes were suddenly dull, and she froze for a few seconds, then shook her head quickly:

"No, I won't tip off."

Your expression already says it all, um, at least you are much smarter than Lingyin. If you were replaced by Xiaodouding, you would run away in fear, afraid that big brother is so scary. Xu Qi'an said:

"Of course I won, otherwise I would still be standing here?

"After the battle of Quanrong Mountain, Du Nan and Du Fan died in battle, and the Buddhist sect completely lost the Dharma Guardian Vajra."

There is no more Buddhist protector Vajra Baiji's black eyes are dull again.

If you add the damaged love-saving Arhat outside Yongzhou City, Buddhism lost a second-rank Arhat and two third-rank King Kong in just one month.

This is something that the empress and her peers have not done for hundreds of years.

Although the empress has already ordered all the demons in the Wan Yao Kingdom to lurk and withdraw from the big stage of Kyushu.

I want to tell the good news to the empress to make her happy. Bai Ji's eyes were filled with joy, and suddenly she noticed that Xu Qi'an was looking at her, and she quickly blinked her black and clear eyes, with an innocent look.

Driving the Buddha Pagoda back to Quanrong Mountain, I saw the old man standing on the edge of the broken cliff, standing with his hands behind his back, overlooking the vast land.

He was dressed in commoner clothes, and his silver hair fluttered unruly.

Although his eyes have the sharpness of a martial artist, they are more likely to have experienced the vicissitudes of life.

Xu Qi'an drove the pagoda of the Buddha, landed beside the old man, and left the pagoda alone.

"Old man!"

He bowed his hands in salute.

Most of the main peak of Mount Quanrong has collapsed, and it is no longer inhabitable. The internal structure of the mountain is damaged. For a long time to come, it will collapse intermittently until it is completely stable.

Fortunately, the Quanrong Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles and are not isolated isolated mountains.

For everyone in the Wulin League, they only need to change the mountain and rebuild the headquarters.

Military Town, Chamber of Commerce.

Cao Qingyang sat in the first seat, listening to the report of the casualties by the deputy leader Wen Chengbi.

There were 320 congregants who died in the collapse of the main peak and failed to escape in time. Due to various reasons, these people did not have time to leave at that time, and were buried forever with the collapse of the mountain.

The army town is quite far away from the battlefield, but the aftermath of the battle blows over, causing the houses to collapse. The preliminary count of the death toll is 134 people, and the number of wounded is as many as 500.

"The casualties can still be tolerated. Fortunately, the leader transferred the old and weak women and children in advance. Those who were affected and died in the military town were also some women, children and the elderly. Most of the infantry and young adults were outside the house at that time."

Wen Chengbi continued:

"The headquarters needs to be rebuilt, which is a huge expense, and the Wulin League's treasury has not been transferred in time, and is now buried at the bottom of the mountain. We don't have that much human and financial resources."

Xiao Yuenu, Fu Jingmen, Yang Cuixue and others were frowning.

After this battle, the Wulin League suffered heavy losses. Although the casualties were not large, they were still within the bearable range.

However, the headquarters that had been in operation for hundreds of years was destroyed overnight, and the loss of property made people feel distressed to the point of bleeding.

Cao Qingyang said:

"Finding the silver is not a problem. The big deal is to ask the ancestors to help, dig the mountain and remove the rocks. Warriors above the fifth rank, help together."

Qiao Weng, the chairman of the Jianzhou Chamber of Commerce, continued:

"It's really not possible, I can only ask you to give generously."

These sect masters and sect masters are all bigwigs, and they have a lot of property in the sect.

Fu Jingmen frowned again and again, and said bluntly:

"But the money we can give is limited, and we have to appease our local victims. Everyone knows that relying on the food from the government can't fill the stomachs of the victims at all."

Yang Cuixue took over the conversation:

"It will cost a lot of money to rebuild the headquarters in the mountains. How about a compromise and expand the headquarters with the military town as the core?"

Vice leader Wen Chengbi shook his head again and again:

"This is not in line with the ancestral system. The reason why the headquarters is built in the mountains is to let us not forget the purpose of the establishment of the Wulin League. We will never be a pure Jianghu organization.

"It's a righteous teacher, a righteous teacher who can attack cities and villages in troubled times."

The headquarters of the Wulin League is equivalent to a fortress occupying natural dangers.

Cao Qingyang knocked on the table, interrupted everyone's debate, and said:

"Chengbi, go ask your ancestors for instructions."

"I went to Jianzhou for a tour just now, and suddenly, it seemed that I had returned to the New Year's Eve."

The old man put his hands behind his back and sighed:

"If the disaster is not controlled, within two years, the Central Plains will change its dynasty."

Xu Qi'an was silent.

The old man turned around with a meaningful smile:

"Do you know why those two dragon spirits chose the Wulin League?"

"The Martial Arts League has been operating in Jianzhou for hundreds of years. The order in Jianzhou is stable, the weather is good, and the people have enough food and clothing. Now that the Dafeng Dynasty is exhausted, and the dragon spirit chooses the master, I think that the Martial Arts League can replace the Dafeng Dynasty."

Xu Qi'an said calmly.

The old man nodded and said:

"From ancient times to the present, there is no dynasty that lasts forever. When I handed over the army to him and returned to Jianzhou, I made an agreement with him. If Dafeng follows the old path of Dazhou in the future, I will end it myself."

Without waiting for Xu Qi'an to respond, he smiled wryly:

"However, he and I didn't expect that that bitch created the warlock system later.

"The birth of warlocks has made it more difficult for the rebellious people to rebel. Today, if external forces can help, it is difficult to change the dynasty by relying on the people of the Central Plains alone."

Xu Qi'an pondered for a moment, and tentatively said:

"Girls?"

"It's the first supervisor!" The old man said with a smile:

"They are prettier than women, the Emperor Gaozu who followed you all day long, if I didn't know that shameless guy likes women, I would have thought they were."

Xu Qi'an, the good brother who worshiped him, spoke out for him in his heart.

"The old man and the supervisor, um, it's the contemporary supervisor, what agreement do you have?"

"Yes." The old man nodded.

Sure enough, the Martial Arts League has always been a dark chess game for the supervisor. Xu Qi'an quickly asked:

"What agreement? When was the agreement made?"
