Chapter 336: Chapter 336: First Sight

Chapter 336: Chapter 336: First SightAs soon as Xu Qi'an asked this question that had troubled him for a long time, he regretted it the next second.

It was not because there was anything wrong with the question itself, but because the way he asked the question was wrong... He exposed himself.

Lina, number five, didn't know that he was number three. Xu Qi'an told her that he was an outside member of the Tiandihui. But the question just now, without a doubt, exposed his identity.

Well, it's all Li Miaozhen's fault. She gave me the illusion that number three's identity had been exposed... It was also related to my current state of confusion and pain, and I was not sober and rational... Xu Qi'an's expression was slightly stiff, and he looked at Lina cautiously. "No!"

Lina shouted, waving her arms excitedly: "I promised Grandma Tiangu that I couldn't tell this matter to anyone, and I couldn't tell others that the news came from her."

Oh, the news came from Grandma Tiangu... Wait, she hasn't reacted to my werewolf jumping yet?!

Talent... Xu Qi'an looked at Lina with admiration in his eyes.

"This is your freedom. A gentleman never forces others to do something."

Xu Qian'an nodded, showing that he did not intend to force anyone. But after Lina breathed a sigh of relief, he said lightly: "Let's calculate the expenses during your stay in Xu's house."

He first glanced at Lina's beautiful little skirt and said: "My sister made two clothes for you. They are made of fine silk and were given by the emperor. They cost ten taels of silver each. Add the labor cost, and the two clothes cost thirty taels of silver in total.

"The accommodation fee is three qian of silver per night. You have stayed at home for many days, so it's three taels. Then there is food. Miss Lina, I don't need to elaborate on your own appetite. In so many days, you have eaten a total of forty taels of my silver.

"Now, please pay the expenses, a total of one hundred and twenty taels."

Lina was stunned and looked at him blankly, saying: "You are really amazing. You can calculate the total amount of silver so quickly."

Hehe, the above are all my nonsense... Do I have to be careful to fool a fool like you? Anyway, you can't figure it out... No, I was also misled by her.

Xu Qi'an patted the edge of the bed and said loudly: "Get my point."

The little black boy from Southern Xinjiang said aggrievedly: "But I can't break my promise to others. I must abide by what I promised to others."

"Very good, then please pay the silver or get out of my house." Xu Qi'an said fiercely.

"I..." Lina's eyes turned red. She felt that she, a foreigner, was bullied and helpless. She stomped her feet and said:

"I'll leave. I'll go to Taoist Jinlian. Even if I starve to death, die outside, and live on the streets, I will not betray Tian Gu Granny."

"Wait."

Xu Qi'an stopped her and made a final effort: "Tian Gu Granny is in Southern Xinjiang, right? I'm in Beijing. The two places are tens of thousands of miles apart. If you don't say it and I don't say it, how can it be considered a breach of trust?"

"Is that so?" Lina questioned.

"Of course," Xu Qi'an nodded seriously, "It's like going to the Jiaofangsi to sleep with a woman, it's prostitution. But if you don't pay, it's not prostitution. Right?"

Lina was stunned, thought about it, and felt that Xu Ningyan's words made sense.

Xu Qi'an persuaded her, "Besides, you are in a foreign land, alone and helpless, what's the big deal about sacrificing a little reputation for survival? No one will blame you."

Lina showed hesitation and loosened up.

Xu Qi'an gave the final blow: "Three days of food in Guiyue Tower, you can eat as much as you want."

Gurgle... Lina secretly swallowed her saliva and said crisply, "Deal, but you swear not to tell anyone."

Xu Qi'an nodded.

Lina turned and ran to the door, opened it, poked her head out and looked around for a moment, making sure no one was eavesdropping, then she returned to the table with peace of mind and said:

"It was last time, No. 3 asked him through the fragments of the Earth Book why a friend of his often picked up money. The Tian Gu tribe of our Gu clan knows everything about astronomy and geography, and knows everything from the stars to the mountains and rivers.

"So I asked the leader of the Tian Gu tribe, Tian Gu Granny, and she said that the guy who picked up the silver must be him, not his friend..."

Suddenly, Lina paused, she stared at Xu Qi'an in a daze, her eyes widened a little bit, revealing an extremely shocked expression, pointing at Xu Qi'an and screaming:

"You, you... are No. 3?!"

You just reacted? Xu Qi'an arched his hands in his heart and said expressionlessly: "Yes, I am No. 3, but I promised Taoist Jinlian that I would not reveal my identity. Now it's okay, we broke our promise, so it's no big deal."

Lina stared at him blankly for a long time, and finally accepted the fact that Xu Qi'an was number three. She felt that everyone had broken their promise, and the guilt in her heart was immediately relieved.

"Tian Gu Granny said that twenty years ago, two thieves stole very valuable things from a wealthy family. Some of the wealthy family had already reacted, and some had not noticed it

yet.

"Tian Gu Granny also asked me where you were. I said you were in the capital. Hearing this answer, Tian Gu Granny couldn't believe it, and seemed to think that you should never be in

the capital."

"Wait a minute."

Xu Qi'an interrupted Lina, leaned on the pillow, and was silent for a cup of tea, and slowly said: "Go on."

"Later, before I left Southern Xinjiang, Tian Gu Granny told me that one of the two thieves was her husband. There is a legend in our Southern Xinjiang that one day the Gu God will wake up from the abyss, destroy the world, and turn the world of Jiuzhou into a world of only Gu. "This legend was deduced by the prophets of the Tian Gu Department, generation after generation, and it is a future that will definitely happen. In order to change the future, Grandpa came up with a solution and left Southern Xinjiang. Then he never came back. "The life Gu he left in the Gu Clan dried up, which foreshadowed his death. "Grandma Tiangu also told me that the thing was about to be born. She predicted that I would be involved in it, so she asked me to come to the capital to seek opportunities."

Lina finished speaking, except for the existence of the Seven Deadly Gu.

The Seven Deadly Gu was given to the destined person by Grandma Tiangu. Lina thought that

it had nothing to do with Xu Qi'an, so there was no need to reveal it to him.

"I know... Lina, you go out first, I want to be alone." Xu Qi'an instructed: "This conversation today cannot be leaked to anyone."

"Yes!"

Lina nodded vigorously, walked briskly to the door of the room, opened the door, and turned around and said: "I will take Lingyin to Guiyue Tower first, remember to come to check out

later."

"?"

Even at such a bad moment, Xu Qian'an still had questions in his mind.

He looked at Lina in astonishment: "No, it's not long after lunch, right?"

"I'll take Lingyin to do horse stance later, so you'll be hungry. "Lina waved her hand and left

the room.

Qiudou Madai, do you two want to eat me out of money in one go? Can I withdraw the promise I just made?... Xu Qian'an opened his mouth, feeling distressed and having difficulty

breathing.

Lina ran out of the room happily, thinking about the dishes in Guiyue Tower, and soon forgot

about the broken promise.

As for the truth that Xu Qian'an was number three, her idea was that it didn't matter who number three was, and it had nothing to do with her. As long as she was happy, why should

she think so much.

If it was number four, Chu Yuanzhen, he must be in a brainstorming session now.

Passing by the east wing, I heard the mistress of the Xu family whispering to her eldest daughter: "Lingyue, have you heard any strange noises at night recently?"

"No."

"But mother always feels that at night, there are people whispering outside the window, and

sometimes there is the sound of tiles flipping on the roof. Do you think the house is haunted

again?"

"Mom, you are talking nonsense again. People will be scared and unable to sleep at night. Then I will go to my eldest brother tonight and ask him to accompany me at the door of the

room."

"Mom is not talking nonsense. You don't know that Lingyin will stay in the yard alone for a while after dinner every day. When I asked her what she was doing, she said that she saw a lot

of ghosts and wanted to fry them to eat, but she couldn't catch them. I heard that children's

eyes can see unclean things."

"Mom, are you menstruating? You are suspicious. We have father, eldest brother and second brother at home. What ghost dares to come to our house to make trouble. Besides, the Saint of Searᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Tianzong is at home, what are you afraid of?"

"Makes sense."

These words were well-reasoned and my aunt was convinced. Then she said: "Lingyin also

told me that Miss Susu is a ghost."

"Lingyin is really rude and will offend guests."

"Yes, so I beat her up."

Lina thought about it and decided not to tell the mother and daughter the truth, so as not to scare them. She walked around the house and found the disciple hiding in the flowerbed sucking the chicken leg bone.

"What are you doing here?" Lina pinched her waist and said angrily: "Want to be lazy again?"

Xu Lingyin glanced at her, silently threw away the chicken leg bone, then covered her stomach

and fell to the ground.

"What are you doing?" Lina blinked.

"I ate a chicken leg of unknown origin. I am poisoned now and can't do horse stance." Xu

Lingyin announced loudly.

"Nonsense, this chicken leg bone was hidden by you during lunch. "Lina cleverly exposed her.

Xu Lingyin was shocked. She didn't expect that her plan was seen clearly by her master. As

expected, she was a master, who was indeed smarter than her. So she suddenly had an idea

and said:

"It was the chicken leg left by my elder brother. There was his saliva on it. My elder brother's saliva is poisonous, so I can't do the horse stance."

"Your elder brother's saliva is not poisonous." Lina exposed her again.

"You haven't eaten your elder brother's saliva, how do you know his saliva is not poisonous?"

Xu Lingyin was not convinced.

Lina was stunned, not knowing how to refute, so she beat Xu Lingyin.

It is natural for a master to beat his apprentice.

This apprentice is a little smart. If he doesn't beat him now, he won't be able to control him in

a few years!

.......

In the room, Xu Qi'an endured the headache, sat at the desk, and wrote four words on the rice

paper: Twenty years ago.

He didn't want to do analysis and reasoning in a very bad state, because it would cause too

many mistakes, but it was about his biggest secret, Xu Qi'an didn't want to wait a moment.

He rubbed his eyebrows, took a deep breath, and wrote the second sentence: Two thieves. He pondered for a few seconds and wrote the third sentence: Only one left. There should be no doubt about this. Tian Gu Granny couldn't make a wrong judgment. As the

current leader of the Tian Gu Department, this Granny would not make mistakes in such

things.

One of the two thieves back then has already died. Finally, he wrote on the rice paper: Gu God, the end of the world!

He stood up and walked to the round table, poured a glass of cold water, and drank it slowly.

After drinking it, he returned to the desk and wrote five words behind "twenty years ago":

Battle of Shanhaiguan.

"On the official ship returning to the capital from Yunzhou, when I woke up, I dreamed of the

scene of the Battle of Shanhaiguan and saw Wei Yuan when he was young... This is very unscientific, because I was just born twenty years ago, and it was impossible for me to experience the Battle of Shanhaiguan, and there would be no relevant memory fragments."

Xu Qian'an's eyes flashed slightly, and he wrote the word "luck" behind "two thieves".

"Tian Gu Granny insisted that I was the one who picked up the silver, and believed that I was related to the two thieves back then, and what is the biggest secret about me? It's luck! "So, the two thieves stole the luck of Dafeng back then? In the ancient tomb, Monk Shenshu said that the luck on me was refined..."

Xu Qian'an dipped his ink and wrote behind "only one left": "Yunzhou sorcerer?" The reason for the question mark is because of uncertainty. "Dean Zhao Shou said that the three forces related to luck are Confucianism, sorcerers, and dynasties. First of all, let's rule out the dynasty. I am most likely not a member of the royal

family. Secondly, let's rule out Confucianism. The strongest point of the Confucian system is that it follows the law, not using luck.

"Only sorcerers are experts in playing with luck. I suspect that first- and second-grade sorcerers are professions related to luck."

So who stole the luck of Dafeng, refined it, and hid it in his body?

Xu Qian'an used to think it was the Supervisor, because he was clearly arranged by the

Supervisor, but now he has doubts.

Could the Supervisor be a thief? As the Supervisor of Dafeng, no one in the entire dynasty is

better at playing with luck than him. If he really wants to steal the luck of Dafeng, does he need to conspire with the people of the Tiangu Department of Nanjiang? That's too much of an underestimation of this first-grade sorcerer. "Compared to the Supervisor, I suspect it was the sorcerer who appeared in Yunzhou, the

mysterious sorcerer who was at least the third rank. He conspired with the former leader of the Tiangu Department to steal the luck of Dafeng.

"Because of the conspiracy between the two, they were able to hide it from the Supervisor for a short time? The luck that was stolen 20 years ago, and the only major event that happened 20 years ago was the Battle of Shanhaiguan, a large-scale battle that involved all forces in

Jiuzhou and invested up to one million troops.

"I saw the Battle of Shanhaiguan in my dream, which can also be used as evidence. Although I did not participate in this battle, it is very likely that this is not my memory, but a picture brought about by the revival of luck? So, the Battle of Shanhaiguan was not simple back then. Check what the fuse was, and maybe you can find more clues.

"Why did the luck fall on me? I am just an ordinary eldest son of the Xu family. There is no

reason to give luck to me...

"Such an important thing was given to me, but it has been silent for 20 years. Is it really given

to me for nothing?"

Suddenly, Xu Qian'an's body trembled, and his pupils contracted violently. He stood still for a

long time like a statue, and wrote three more words on the rice paper with his arms shaking

slightly:

"Tax and Silver Case!"
