Chapter 290: Chapter 290 Is this a relative’s child?Chu Caiwei received the summons and immediately left the palace. She followed the guards on horseback to Lingbao Temple, passed through gardens, passed by the ancestral temples of the human sect, and came to the small courtyard deep in the Taoist temple.
"Miss Caiwei, please come in."
An old eunuch in a python robe stood at the gate of the courtyard, smiling and making a "please" gesture.
Chu Caiwei said "hmm", walked through the small courtyard with light steps, stepped into the quiet room, and her skirt swayed gently.
In the quiet room, Emperor Yuan Jing and Luo Yuheng sat across a coffee table. There was a Taoist classic on the coffee table, and an incense burner, with thin green smoke rising.
Chu Caiwei glanced and saw that there were no delicious cakes on the table. She withdrew her gaze in disappointment and bowed: "Your Majesty, I have seen the national teacher."
Emperor Yuan Jing looked at the little sister in the eyes of the white-robed sorcerer of the Sitianjian. She had big and bright almond eyes, a round face, and a sweet hidden. She was a cheerful girl who could make people happy unconsciously.
"The Supervisor asked you to come and see me. What's the matter?"
"It's like this. Third Senior Brother Yang Qianhuan was practicing yesterday and accidentally became possessed. Second Senior Brother is not in the capital, and Senior Brother Song and I are not good at fighting."
Before he could finish his words, Emperor Yuan Jing frowned and interrupted, saying in a deep voice: "What, Yang Qianhuan was practicing and became possessed?"
The old emperor was furious.
Luo Yuheng raised his eyebrows and stared at Chu Caiwei with his eyes. This was not like the Supervisor's style.
Chu Caiwei said calmly: "Therefore, the Supervisor asked me to borrow someone from Your Majesty to fight the bald donkey from the Western Regions on behalf of the Sitianjian."
Borrow someone?!
The scheming Emperor Yuan Jing did not agree immediately, but searched his mind for a moment. He did not lock on the expected person, so he frowned and asked:
"Who does the Supervisor want?"
"The night watchman, Yinluo Xu Qian'an." Chu Caiwei's voice was crisp.
The quiet room suddenly became quiet.
After a long time, the old emperor asked in an uncertain tone: "Xu Qiyan, Yinluo Xu Qiyan?"
"Yes, it's Xu Qiyan who is very good at solving cases and died once after returning from Yunzhou." Chu Caiwei said in a delicate voice.
Emperor Yuan Jing waved his hand, "Of course I know it's him, I mean, why is it Xu Qiyan."
Jianzheng, this female disciple, has a simple mind. When talking to her, you must speak clearly so that she can understand.
Chu Caiwei shook her head honestly: "I don't know."
Emperor Yuan Jing exhaled and waved his hand: "I know, you go first."
"Okay."
Chu Caiwei walked away briskly. She planned to go to Princess Huaiqing's Dexinyuan to drink tea and eat cakes, and share her experiences by the way.
After Chu Caiwei left, Emperor Yuan Jing held the teacup, pondered for a long time, and asked in a heavy tone: "National Master, what do you think?"
"Xu Qian'an is a talented person, but as a warrior, he has no chance of winning in a battle with Buddhism." Luo Yuheng's facial features are delicate and dignified. When she is expressionless, she looks like a goddess carved from jade.
"However, the Tianji Plate is the accompanying magic weapon of the Supervisor, and it will definitely not be lent out. Maybe there is another reason."
Emperor Yuan Jing sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it, this old man is very scheming, and I can't see through him. I have something else to do, so I'll go back to the palace first."
The person Yuan Jingdi disliked the most was the Supervisor. He looked down on all the civil and military officials in Dafeng. Even Luo Yuheng, the head of the Renzong Dao, was a fellow Taoist and was on an equal footing with him.
Only the Supervisor was the one he really looked up to, and Emperor Yuan Jing couldn't see through him at all.
For an emperor with supreme power, this was a very uncomfortable thing.
Sitting on the chariot, Emperor Yuan Jing ordered: "Send Xu Qi'an 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 Observatory, looking at the monks headed by Du'e Luohan in the crowd.
"Yes, the palace guards are waiting at the yamen, Lord Xu, go quickly." The gong that delivered the message urged.
If I go late, this year's salary will be deducted. Without saying a word, Xu Qi'an rode on the mare, whipped its little buttocks, and rushed back to the yamen.
After meeting with the guards waiting at the yamen, Xu Qi'an entered the palace, silently passed through the east gate, 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. Emperor Yuan Jing, wearing a Taoist robe and a Taoist hairpin in his black hair, came late. He did not sit on his own dragon throne, but stood in front of Xu Qi'an, squinting his eyes and examining him. This look seemed a bit like a father-in-law 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 lowering his eyebrows and looking obedient, "Have you heard about the battle between Jianzheng and Du'e?"
"Your Majesty, I just saw it on the imperial edict." Xu Qi'an replied respectfully.
"Fighting is usually divided into literary and martial arts. Du'e and Jianzheng are both rare masters in the world. They will not take action personally. This is often a matter between
disciples."
This is understandable. The big guys sit in the back and give instructions, and the disciples charge into battle. But what does this have to do with me?
He was just wondering when he heard Emperor Yuan Jing say calmly: "The Supervisor has just borrowed someone from me, and I want you to fight!"
Xu Qi'an raised his head suddenly and looked at Emperor Yuan Jing in astonishment.
Emperor Yuan Jing stared at him: "What do you think?"
Supervisor, you old man, what are you thinking? Knowing that Shenshu is in my body, you are still eager to send me to the Buddhist sect. Xu Qi'an immediately said: "I am weak and incompetent, and I am afraid I can't do it. Your Majesty, please allow me to refuse." Emperor Yuan Jing snorted, "Since the Supervisor has made a decision, it will not change. I didn't come to you to listen to you. I want to tell you that this fight is related to the face of Dafeng, and you must do everything you can to win."
Don't you think about why I can win?
Xu Qi'an clasped his fist expressionlessly: "I obey your order."
Lingbao Temple.
Not long after Emperor Yuan Jing left, a woman wearing a complicated white dress, gorgeous jewelry on her head, and a scarf covering her face, entered Lingbao Temple under the
protection of the guards.
Without any need for a message, she went straight into the depths of the Taoist temple and
sat down in the pavilion.
On the pool beside the pavilion, Luo Yuheng, a beautiful female imperial teacher, was sitting cross-legged in the air.
The woman with a scarf on her face picked up a stone and quietly threw it at Luo Yuheng. When the stone was three feet close to Luo Yuheng, it was bounced back by an air shield and accurately hit the forehead of the masked woman.
She cried "Aiya", covered her forehead and squatted down, angrily saying: "A second-grade master is so great, can a second-grade master bully people at will."
Luo Yuheng opened his eyes and said helplessly: "What are you doing here? Don't disturb my practice if you have nothing to do."
The masked woman came to the pool with her skirt lifted, and said excitedly: "The Buddhist sect is going to fight with the supervisor. There will be excitement tomorrow."
"Just go and watch."
"Of course I want to watch, but Emperor Yuan Jing does not allow me to leave the palace. I can only change my appearance and watch secretly. 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 changed my appearance, no one recognized me. How could they take me in?" She said irritably, as if she felt frustrated. She changed the subject and said:
"Let me tell you, that Xu Qian'an is really annoying. I have met him several times. He is just a
lazy and frivolous scoundrel."
"With your looks, isn't this human nature?" Luo Yuheng replied. seaʀᴄh thё novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Look, look, you are not talking to me sincerely. How can I show my true face without thinking before talking? If so, that scoundrel will definitely fall in love with me on the spot.
"I have changed my appearance. After the disguise, although I am a woman with ordinary appearance, I have excellent temperament and charm."
Luo Yuheng interrupted impatiently: "With excellent temperament and charm, isn't it reasonable for me to be slick in front of you?"
She was speechless for a moment and stayed for a moment
"No more! "The masked woman turned away angrily.
She would never admit that she was just an ordinary woman with mediocre looks after
disguise.
And Xu Qi'an actually had a strong sexual interest in such a woman. This man was simply a
lecher who was hungry and did not choose his food.
Dirty villain. "Do you know who will represent the Si Tian Jian to fight against the Buddhist sect
tomorrow?" Luo Yuheng suddenly said.
The masked woman pricked up her ears.
"Xu Qi'an." Luo Yuheng did not keep it a secret.
"Huh?"
The masked woman turned around and opened her beautiful eyes: "It's him? Replacing the Si
Tian Jian?"
Luo Yuheng nodded.
The masked woman was a little angry. She sat there, pinching her waist: "Is there no one in my great Da Feng? I actually let a stinky boy represent the Si Tian Jian to fight."
She was shivering for a while, and when she saw Luo Yuheng close his eyes and meditate
again, she also calmed down.
Sitting there, his eyes turned around, and I don't know what he was thinking about
In Haoqi Tower, Xu Qian'an held a cup of tea and told Wei Yuan the information he learned from the palace. Wei Yuan said indifferently: "Just do your best."
"I will definitely be punished by His Majesty if I lose." Xu Qian'an was worried.
Wei Yuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, maybe tomorrow's fight will not be as difficult as
you think."
Xu Qian'an's eyes lit up: "Duke Wei, do you know some inside information?"
Wei Yuan glanced at him: "Use your brain!"
The eunuch reminded: "What is the stakes of the fight?"
"The Diamond Sutra and the Heavenly Secret Plate."
"The Heavenly Secret Plate is the companion magic weapon of the Supervisor, which is
unique in the world. If you lose the fight, you will only be punished by His Majesty, and he will
lose a treasure. If you are not sure, will the Supervisor ask His Majesty to lend it to you?" Am I so powerful, how come I don't know it myself? Xu Qi'an muttered in his heart
That night, he told his family about his fight with Buddhism on behalf of the Imperial
Observatory, and said: "If you want to join in the fun, you can take my badge to the venue belonging to the night watchman's office."
Xu Pingzhi frowned: "Is it dangerous?"
"It's just a fight, there shouldn't be any." Xu Qi'an was not sure, after all, he didn't know the
details of tomorrow's fight.
"Yeah, can we go in to watch?" Auntie seemed very heartless and said happily.
"I want to go too, I want to go too."
Xu Lingyin raised her hand while swallowing food.
"You want to go and see the excitement too?" Xu Qian'an was a little surprised. His stupid
sister rarely spoke when eating.
"There must be delicious food in a lively place." Xu Lingyin said confidently. This was a life
philosophy she summed up in her short six years. "Why did the supervisor choose my eldest brother?"
As the only scholar in the family, Xu Cijiu frowned and found that things were not simple.
Regarding his younger brother's doubts, Xu Qian'an could only say helplessly: "Who can know what the supervisor is thinking? You know, I don't know anyway."
The younger brother shook his head, indicating that even as smart as he was, he couldn't
guess what the supervisor was thinking.
After dinner, Xu Qian'an breathed in and out to rest his mind. After he entered a fairly good
state, he stopped meditating and planned to have a good sleep to get enough energy to deal with tomorrow's battle.
"It seems that not going to the Jiaofangsi these days is the right choice. Men should know how to conserve their energy."
He closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep when he felt a familiar palpitation.
He had no choice but to take out the fragments of the Earth Book, light the candle, and check
the message.
[Four: Tomorrow is the battle between Jianzheng and Du'e. I heard a surprising news from the
National Master. ]
[What news?]
The members of the Tiandihui asked one after another.
Only Xu Qiyan's face changed drastically, thinking to himself, you shut up, shut up!
Chu Yuanzhen used his finger as a pen and sent a message: [Sitianjian actually chose Yinluo Xu
Qiyan to fight.]
After sending this message, Chu Yuanzhen expected to see the shocked reactions of the
"group friends" and then express their opinions. As a result, there was no feedback at all.
11?1
Chu Yuanzhen frowned. Did they all know it?
[Two: What's wrong with this number four? Is he deliberately teasing people?] [Six: Number Four doesn't seem like that kind of person. Maybe something happened to him.]
Number Four had something happen to him. Hahaha, God bless him, he didn't tell anyone
about me, otherwise Number Two would have revealed my identity in the group when he heard that I was not dead. Xu Qi'an felt relieved.
At this time, he saw a message from Taoist Jinlian on the mirror: [Nine: I have temporarily
blocked them all, and I blocked Number Four as well.]
The Taoist blocked Number Four?!
Xu Qi'an was stunned and quickly sent a message: [Thank you, Taoist.]
[Nine: You're welcome.]
You're welcome. Now that Li Miaozhen knows the news of your resurrection, she can
concentrate on preparing for the war after coming to the capital. You, a troublemaker, are
useless.
[Nine: But the truth will come out sooner or later. You are a smart person and should
understand what I mean.] [Three: I know my limits. ]
Xu Qi'an plans to meet with Li Miaozhen and talk about their past social death together, so
that Li Miaozhen will agree to keep his identity secret.
Taoist Jinlian, you thought I was on the second floor, but I was actually on the fifth floor.
[Three: By the way, Taoist, I seem to have seen the woman who has a connection with me. ] [Nine: Haha, you will meet sooner or later, which means your fate has come. ]
Fate has come Xu Qi'an swallowed his saliva and sent a letter with a sad face: [Is this fate you
are talking about a serious fate? She is old enough to be my aunt. ]
The age of the old aunt is probably only a few years younger than my aunt, and my aunt is 36
years old this year.
[Nine: I don't seem to have told you about the ability of the Bodhi bracelet. Well, it can block fate and change appearance. Buddhism is best at concealing its own fate.
[The bracelet was won from a monk when I was traveling in the Western Regions and doing
good deeds.]
So, if the old lady is a beautiful woman with charm, I can still accept it. Moreover, in my past
life, the age of thirty is actually the best age for women. Bah, bah, bah, my thoughts cannot
slip. I seem to have determined that she and I will have a bad fate?
It must be the suggestion of Taoist Master Jinlian.
[Three: Taoist Master, what is the origin?]
[Nine: There are many kinds of origins. The friendship between each other is the origin. But
friendship can be friends, confidants, benefactors, etc.]
Hu Xu Qian'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 taking leave and took the
women in his family out. He personally drove them to the Star Observatory to watch the
excitement.
Xu Erlang rode a horse and followed the carriage.
Just as he drove out of the small road in front of his house and was about to turn into the main
road, he saw a woman with ordinary appearance getting into a simple carriage parked on the
side of the road and raising her hand to stop Xu Pingzhi's carriage.
Xu Pingzhi frowned and looked at the woman, saying: "Who are you?"
"Are you Xu Qi'an's second uncle?"
"Yes!"
"Go to the Stargazing Tower?"
"Yes,"
The woman nodded, came over by herself, climbed onto the carriage: "Take me to the
Stargazing Tower and tell Xu Qi'an that the matter of picking up my sachet is written off."
Xu Ershu originally wanted to push the woman down, but when he heard the latter sentence, his face looked a little strange.
It sounds like this woman has some entanglement with her nephew? "With Ning Yan's status and qualifications, he shouldn't have any entanglement with a
woman who is so much older than him. I'm overthinking it, I must be overthinking it."
Xu Pingzhi planned to go home and question Xu Ningyan, but he refrained from talking about it at this time.
After the old aunt got into the carriage, she saw the plump and beautiful aunt and the elegant Lingyue. She was obviously stunned for a moment, and then recalled the handsome young man outside, and muttered in her heart:
The whole family is good-looking.
Then, she saw Xu Lingyin, who looked the same as herself at this time, with mediocre facial
features. She was wearing a boy's bun and sitting on a long chair, with her two short legs
hanging in the air.
She didn't pay any attention to her arrival, and concentrated on eating the dried meat in her
arms.
The aunt carefully examined the old lady and said reservedly: "Whose family are you from?" The old lady smiled gently: "I am just an ordinary family. I wanted to go to the Sitianjian to
watch the fun, but I couldn't enter the venue. I happened to know Mr. Xu's nephew, so I came here to take advantage of him."
The aunt nodded. As long as this woman was not involved with her husband, she didn't care.
The two women of similar age chatted for a few words, and the aunt realized that the other party called herself "an ordinary family", which was probably self-deprecating. This woman spoke elegantly and smiled reservedly. She was definitely not a woman from an
ordinary family.
She should be a woman from the family of an official who was familiar with Ning Yan.
However, why didn't I see her man?
At this time, the old aunt looked at Xu Lingyin and asked casually: "Is this a child from a
relative's family?"
