Chapter 234: Chapter 234: Your Majesty, I Request Your Majesty to Grant Me Death

Chapter 234: Chapter 234: Your Majesty, I Request Your Majesty to Grant Me DeathHaoqi Tower.

Nangong Qianrou and Zhang Kaitai, who returned to the government office, entered Haoqi Tower as soon as possible. With Nangong Qianrou, their adopted son, leading them, they did not need to be informed and could go straight up to the tower to see Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan stood in front of a horizontally hung map, with his hands behind his back, squinting his eyes, and said nothing. He had maintained this posture for half an hour.

This is a bird's-eye view of the entire northeast, marking the headquarters of the Wushen Cult and the locations of various countries in the northeast. This kind of map lacks precision and can only be seen from a macro perspective, so it is not precious.

A more accurate map is a confidential object that all countries would try their best to snatch and protect.

Footsteps came from behind, followed by the voices of Nangong Qianrou and Zhang Kaitai: "Adoptive father."

"Duke Wei."

Wei Yuan did not turn his head and said in a deep voice: "Xu Qian'an's body has been floating in the canal for more than ten days. It is not suitable to keep it for a long time... Let his relatives bury him as soon as possible."

If you listen carefully, there is a hint of grief in the low voice.

Nangong Qianrou knew very well why her adoptive father didn't even look at Xu Qi'an's body. Her adoptive father was a person in power and a strategist. His heart should be hard and cold. Only cold-blooded people can be invincible.

Wei Yuan should be an invincible person who will not be swayed by emotions.

The night watchmen in the yamen and even the outside world all hoped that Wei Yuan would be such a person.

"Adoptive father..." Nangong Qianrou cleared her throat and said, "Xu Qi'an is not dead yet."

Wei Yuan turned around suddenly, and his movements were so large that his green robe fluttered.

At this moment, the eunuch's face was complicated, and his eyes were also complicated. Surprise, confusion, joy, hope... Nangong Qianrou had never seen such complicated emotions on her adoptive father's face.

But in just a moment, the eunuch regained his composure, slowly walked to the table and sat down, and asked in a somewhat stern tone:

"What's going on?"

Nangong Qianrou then recounted Xu Qi'an's words.

Wei Yuan listened quietly and immediately said, "Tell him to come see me quickly."

Nangong Qianrou nodded and looked at the huge bird's-eye view of the northeast, "The spy matter..."

Xu Qi'an has come back to life, should the Wushen Cult still be fought?

"We will fight the Wushen Cult after the autumn harvest, the plan remains unchanged." Wei Yuan's expression was cold and his tone was full of strong confidence.

Nangong Qianrou and Zhang Kaitai said goodbye. The former planned to go to Xu's house again, but just after leaving the government office, he ran into Xu Qi'an riding a horse.

"You are quite sensible," Nangong Qianrou said, "If you don't know, you would think that my adoptive father has adopted another moth."

Xu Qi'an retorted, "You are an old hermaphrodite."

Nangong Qianrou was furious, thinking that Xu Qi'an was mocking him for his feminine appearance, and her eyebrows were raised: "Why didn't you die in Yunzhou?"

As soon as the voice fell, Xu Qi'an's mind immediately captured a picture: Nangong Qianrou raised her right hand, swung her arm and slapped...

Xu Qi'an was blessed, his waist sank, his head lowered, and he dodged Nangong Qianrou's slap by a hair's breadth, and fled into the government office.

"I don't want to argue with you, I'm going to see Duke Wei."

In front of the fourth-grade golden gong, showing a wave of operations is already the limit, if you don't slack off, you will be pressed to the ground and beaten.

Nangong Qianrou looked at his back with a little sluggish look, then lowered her head and looked at her own hands...dodged?

The Soul Refining Realm has a very keen sense of danger and can easily detect hostility and ambushes around. Even with a blindfold, one can fight in the chaos. When a warrior reaches the Soul Refining Realm, his personal combat power will reach a small peak.

However, with Nangong Qianrou's fourth-grade cultivation, although she was reserved, it should have been easy for her to hit the target with her palm before a Soul Refining Realm warrior noticed the crisis and evaded it.

"How is it possible..." Nangong Qianrou frowned slightly.

----

Xu Qian'an received countless surprised looks along the way, whether it was the night watchman or the clerk, they all looked at him in amazement.

The news of Xu Qian'an's death in Tongluo had long spread throughout the government office. In the past few days, everyone's after-dinner talk, if written with the title of the previous life:

#Shocked! Tongluo Xu Qi'an returned, and Duke Wei was stunned #

#What did Tongluo, who had a promising future, do in Yunzhou to ruin his life#

But now, seeing Xu Qi'an, who had been dead for half a month, appear in the yamen alive and well, and waving his hands enthusiastically to greet everyone, the night watchmen were full

of questions.

"In broad daylight, ghosts can enter our yamen? It is said that after a person dies, he becomes so handsome?"

"What should we do? This is Xu Ningyan's ghost. It's not good for us to take action. It will be bad if the soul flies away."

"Are you blind? Ghosts have shadows? That could be Xu Ningyan's brother. How can Xu Ningyan be so handsome?"

Amidst the discussion, Xu Qi'an came to Haoqi Tower, and the guards looked at him in amazement.

"I want to see Lord Wei, go and report immediately."

The guard walked into the building, looking back every few steps, and came down after a while, "Lord Wei wants to see you... Lord Xu, you are not, not..."

Xu Qian'an touched his face and replied in a mellow voice: "I am Xu Qian'an's younger brother, and I am ordered by Lord Wei to take over my brother's position."

"I see, what is your name, Lord Xu?"

"Xu Qian."

The guard thought, why does it sound like a woman's name.

On the surface, he was respectful and said, "Please come in."

After entering the Haoqi Building and going up to the teahouse on the seventh floor, Xu Qian'an saw Wei Yuan, whom he had not seen for more than a month. He was still wearing a gorgeous green robe, with gray hair on his temples and shallow crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. He was elegant and handsome, an old handsome man with good temperament and

appearance.

With my current appearance, I will definitely be no worse than Wei Yuan when I am old... Xu Qi'an clasped his fists and said loudly: "I pay my respects to Lord Wei."

Wei Yuan was a little dazed and said gently: "Sit down."

For the first time, Wei Yuan personally poured him a cup of hot tea and said leisurely: "Let's

talk about Yunzhou."

This matter is a long story. Xu Qi'an told Wei Yuan everything that happened in Yunzhou, including the identity of Li Miaozhen No. 2 and the identity of the Saint of Tianzong. Except for the important relationship with Monk Shenshu, he did not keep anything else.

The main reason was that Wei Yuan was too smart and would be discovered if he concealed too much. In addition, the eunuch really valued him and cultivated him. Xu Qi'an returned the favor and trusted Wei Yuan very much.

Sure enough, Wei Yuan took a sip of tea and said, "Yang Qianhuan has been following you."

Xu Qian'an was stunned at first, a little surprised, but he was not stupid. He immediately understood something and asked, "Why did Senior Brother Yang follow me?" "He naturally wouldn't follow you for no reason. According to my understanding of this person, he doesn't care about other things except doing some strange things." Wei Yuan smiled mysteriously, "But what if it was the intention of the Supervisor." The Supervisor knows my secret... If it was his intention, it would be reasonable.

Xu Qian'an looked at Wei Yuan calmly. Would Wei Yuan, who was as wise as a demon, also

notice some

clues?

Wei Yuan did not stick to this topic and continued, "As for the third-grade sorcerer, let's just treat him as the third-grade for the time being. I don't think he is Sun Xuanji of the Sitianjian.

"However, this incident reminds me of something else."

Xu Qian'an was refreshed: "Please help me, Lord Wei. "

Wei Gong is still reliable. Taoist Jinlian, that old silver coin, is very secretive when he speaks. But Wei Yuan has almost no reservations about me.

"You are familiar with Chu Caiwei of the Imperial Observatory and Song Qing. Do you know their respective identities?"

"The direct disciple of the chief Observer?" Xu Qiyan asked back unsurely.

Not all the white-clothed people in the Imperial Observatory are the direct disciples of the chief Observer. Just like the great scholars in Yunlu Academy, they often give lectures, but there are very few real direct disciples.

Song Qing, Chu Caiwei, and Yang Qianhuan are the direct disciples of the chief Observer.

"Yang Qianhuan is the third disciple of the chief Observer, Song Qing is the fourth disciple, Chu Caiwei is the sixth disciple, and the white-clothed magicians call her the little sister."

Wei Yuan said. .....What's the problem with this? Xu Qiyan didn't understand.

"But, the chief Observer has only five direct disciples in total. "Wei Yuan said faintly.

This... Xu Qi'an's pupils shrank slightly, and he finally understood what Wei Yuan meant. The Supervisor had only five disciples, but Chu Caiwei was the sixth disciple. Where was the other

one?

Where did that one go?

Yang Qianhuan was the third disciple, Song Qing was the fourth disciple, Chu Caiwei was the

sixth disciple... I don't know which one Sun Xuanji was.

"Sun Xuanji is the second disciple." Wei Yuan said.

"Then, the eldest disciple and the fifth disciple are not clear yet." Xu Qi'an said.

For a while, the two did not continue to talk, and the tea room fell into a brief silence.

After a cup of tea was finished, Wei Yuan continued: "You woke up at the wrong time." "Why did Lord Wei say that?" Xu Qi'an didn't understand.

"Zhang Xingying wrote a petition, hoping that the court would posthumously confer a title

on you. After the emperor and the other officials discussed, you were conferred the title of the Prince of Changle County. In a few days, the imperial edict will come down."

Wei Yuan said helplessly: "Since you are alive, the cabinet will most likely reject the imperial edict, and His Majesty will most likely accept it with pleasure."

"What's the big deal? As long as the silver reward is not small, I'll be fine." Xu Qian'an

shrugged indifferently.

Changle County Master, should be Viscount, sounds like a brother's title... no, son's title.

In the future, when you meet officials of Changle County's household registration, you will introduce each other, and the other party will say: Ninghao, I am Changle County Xxx

Xu Qian'an said: I am Changle County Master. Those who don't know the business still think I am someone's son.

Wei Yuan glanced at him: "Silver is just something outside of the body, how can the meaning

of the title be compared with silver? Even if you become a silver gong and have power in your hands, your status is still not up to par.

"Only the title is the proof that you have completely left the civilian population and become a powerful family in the dynasty. If you are conferred a title, the Xu family will not be an ordinary family, but a powerful family.

"In the future, when you marry, commoner women will not be qualified to marry you. Only a

rich girl can be a good match for you."

"Can I marry a princess?" Xu Qian'an asked in a low voice.

.....Wei Yuan nodded: "Theoretically, yes."

It is impossible for a princess to marry a commoner. Her future husband must be a noble.

Although the viscount is not high, it is still a title.

"I don't know why, but His Majesty doesn't like you. If he doesn't want to, no one can do

anything." Wei Yuan finished speaking and laughed:

"Fortunately, you are not a useless person, and there is still room for maneuver."

"Wei Gong, teach me."

"Some time ago, a big event happened in the palace. Concubine Fu died unexpectedly and fell

from the attic in dishevel. At that time, there was only the prince in the room, and he was

drunk. This case is very difficult. It not only concerns the face of the royal family, but also involves the issue of deposing and enthroning the prince. The three judicial officials are unwilling to get involved and must be passive in handling the case. "

.....Oh my god, the prince insulted the emperor's concubine?

Xu Qian'an shook his head hurriedly: "Duke Wei, you are harming me, aren't you? How can I

interfere in the royal scandal?"

"It doesn't matter." Wei Yuan waved his hand: "All the civil and military officials know about

this matter, and you won't be a big deal. It's best if you can find out, but if you can't, just refuse it.

"You are not capable enough, at most you will be punished. Even if His Majesty doesn't like

you, if you haven't made a big mistake, the Viscount can't be executed at will. The noble group will not agree."

I understand that Duke Wei means that if the emperor revokes the imperial edict to confer a

title on me, I will pretend to die and refuse to accept it if he asks me to do something in the future. First coax Emperor Yuan Jing to confer the title on me.

Then, I will withdraw on the grounds of incompetence, and at most I will be punished and

earn a title for nothing.

Duke Wei is really.....resourceful (old silver coin) ah.

"The prince is Lin'an's brother." Xu Qian'an suddenly thought of the charming and

affectionate little fish he raised.

The little queen of the nightclub must be sad and helpless now.

"You and Princess Lin'an, don't you have any disputes?" Wei Yuan narrowed his eyes and

looked at him.

"No, no." Xu Qian'an shook his head quickly.

Wei Yuan nodded with relief.

.....

The next day, the imperial study.

"The three-day deadline has passed, and your reply to me is just "The case is complicated and

there are many doubts. Please give me a few more days"?" Emperor Yuan Jing threw several memorials at the three ministers.

The memorials submitted by the Dali Temple, the Minister of Justice, and Wei Yuan were

surprisingly consistent, as if they copied each other's homework, and they copied the wrong

answers.

Emperor Yuan Jing was so angry that he slammed the table.

The Minister of Justice said ashamedly: "Your Majesty, this case is full of doubts and

mysteries. I have tried my best. Please give me a few more days."

The Minister of the Supreme Court said: "I am not capable enough, so I ask to retire and

return home." "You..." Emperor Yuan Jing waved his hand and swept all the memorials, pens, inkstones, and

inkstones on the table to the ground, shaking with anger:

"I will behead you."

The three ministers immediately knelt down and shouted: "It is not a pity for me to die, Your

Majesty, take care of your health."

Is this a rehearsal?

Emperor Yuan Jing was furious.

The ministers on both sides looked at each other, and the officials who always liked to argue

with Wei Yuan were silent.

Of course, this case still needs to be dealt with, but the opinions of all parties have not yet

been unified. The prince's faction is thinking about how to get the crown prince off the hook.

The other factions are thinking about which of the princes will be the future crown prince if the crown prince is abolished.

The ideas are different, but there is one thing that everyone agrees on, that is, to delay the

matter first. The death of Concubine Fu is not important, what is important is the dispute over the foundation of the country involved in this case.

It will be a bloody storm no less than the Beijing inspection.

The parties need to take time to consider, to stand in line, and to make arrangements.

In a situation like this where the court has the same purpose, even Emperor Yuan Jing can only

be helpless and furious, unless he does not want the truth and abolishes the crown prince on

the spot... but it will most likely be rejected by the cabinet. "Your Majesty, please be patient. I have something to report." Prime Minister Wang stepped

out and casually mentioned the case of Concubine Fu for the time being, saying: "As far as I know, Xu Qi'an, the Tongluo of the Night Watchman's Office, did not die in the line of duty. He was strangely resurrected yesterday. Please withdraw the title conferred on

him."

In the imperial study, the ministers whispered.

Is the Tongluo surnamed Xu still alive? The Dali Temple Minister and the Ministry of Justice

Minister were in mixed feelings.

Emperor Yuan Jing was stunned for a moment, restrained his anger, looked at Wei Yuan, and

said in a deep voice: "Wei Qing, is what the Prime Minister said true?" "Indeed, it is true." Wei Yuan bowed.

Immediately, a secretary stepped out and shouted, "Zhang Xingying lied about the case and deceived Your Majesty. Please punish him." Emperor Yuan Jing ignored him and looked at Wei Yuan, asking, "Why is that?"

"Xu Qiyan is not dead. Before fighting the rebels, he took the rebirth pills from the Imperial

Observatory. After he was exhausted, he entered a state of suspended animation and woke up only yesterday. Zhang Xingying mistakenly thought that Xu Qiyan died in the line of duty, and it was not his fault." Wei Yuan explained.

Rebirth pills... Emperor Yuan Jing felt sick as if he had eaten a fly when he heard it.

At first, he asked the chief inspector for this medicine, but the chief inspector refused to give

it to him, saying that it was gone.

But now, a mere Tongluo actually got the elixir he had been seeking for.

"How did he get this medicine?" Emperor Yuan Jing's mouth twitched.

"It was given by Chu Caiwei from the Imperial Observatory." Wei Yuan replied. Emperor Yuan Jing pondered for a few seconds and nodded slowly: "The matter of conferring

the title is withdrawn. Also, send Xu Qi'an with a bronze gong to come to see me quickly."

Wei Yuan nodded calmly and bowed: "Yes."

.....

Xu Qi'an received the summons and rushed to the palace before noon. After being verified by

the Yulin Guards, he was allowed to enter the palace.

Inside the city gate, the man in blue stood with his hands behind his back, waiting for a long

time, and Nangong Qianrou stood beside him.

Xu Qi'an hurried over and shouted, "Duke Wei."

Wei Yuan nodded: "His Majesty summoned you for the case of Concubine Fu." After a pause,

he said meaningfully: "The matter of conferring the title has been withdrawn."

It has really been withdrawn. This message has been sent out for three days, and it can be

withdrawn. It's against the rules... Xu Qi'an complained in his heart and said:

"I understand."

As Wei Yuan came to the imperial study, Emperor Yuan Jing was not there. The old eunuch in a

python robe said: "His Majesty is in Lingbao Temple, meditating with the national teacher,

and will be back in the afternoon. Wait for him."

This wait lasted for an hour.

....

In Lingbao Temple, after finishing his meditation, the energetic Yuan Jingdi opened his eyes

and sighed, "National Master, when can I form the golden elixir?" Under the Taoist robe, Luo Yuheng, whose plump figure and stunning appearance could not

be concealed, closed her eyes and said in a pleasant and magnetic voice, "When can your majesty put down government affairs and concentrate on practicing Taoism? The golden

elixir is just around the corner."

Yuan Jingdi stared at the beautiful Taoist nun in front of him. She had gorgeous features and a

fascinating charm. The cinnabar on her eyebrows made her look like a fairy.

A fairy that can be desecrated.

Yuan Jingdi sighed again. In fact, he only needed to practice dual cultivation to go further.

However, even if he was the king of a country, he could not force the head of the sect. Not to mention that the other party was a second-grade master, even if he could suppress him

with force, the matter of dual cultivation required the cooperation of the two people's mind method and could not be forced.

"When can the national master enter the first grade?" Yuan Jingdi asked.

Luo Yuheng shook his head slightly.

"Alas, I can't understand the thoughts of the Supervisor more and more. I asked him for the

rebirth pill that day, but he refused to give it to me. Who would have thought that today I learned that a small copper gong could enjoy this miraculous medicine." Luo Yuheng opened his eyes and asked curiously: "Copper gong?" Emperor Yuan Jing waved his hand: "This person is not worth mentioning. I will return to the palace first. I will come back to meditate with the national teacher tomorrow." He returned to the palace and received the news that Xu Qian'an was waiting in the imperial Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

study. He still did not go there immediately. After a careful bath, he finally arrived late.

In the imperial study.

Xu Qian'an said loudly: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Emperor Yuan Jing stared at him sharply, without mentioning the matter of the rebirth pill,

nor praising the bronze gong for its contribution to Yunzhou, and said directly: "A few days ago, Concubine Fu fell to her death from the pavilion. There is another hidden

story behind this case. I will give you three days to investigate the case. Otherwise, you will be severely punished."

Xu Qian'an immediately bowed, bent over 90 degrees, and shouted: "Your Majesty, please grant me death."
