Chapter 160



160 The dejected golden gongs (1)

The shock wave turned into a violent tide and spread in ripples, raising dust and gravel. The houses in the distance were destroyed, and many lives were silently annihilated.

With a muffled groan, the four golden gongs each took different defensive measures. They borrowed the force of the explosion and drifted far away, not daring to be in the center of the explosion.

When everything calmed down and the black-robed man’s figure was long gone, the four golden gongs heaved a sigh of relief, but they couldn’t help but be filled with anger.

“What’s the background of this guy? I’m referring to that arm. ” The white-robed sorcerer suddenly appeared, his back facing the crowd.

“Arm?” The sword-wielding golden gong asked.

“According to my observation, that arm is not his. I have never seen such a terrifying demonic Qi in my life.” The white-robed Warlock said.

Jiang Luzhong stared at the back of the white-robed sorcerer. “Yang qianhuan, are your eyes on your back?”

The white-robed sorcerer by the name of yang qianhuan replied, “”Before he left, I turned around and took a peek.”

“….” can’t you turn around and talk nicely? ” Jiang Luzhong said helplessly. you weren’t like this in the past.

“Allow me to refuse, this yang does things as he pleases, he doesn’t care about anyone’s opinion.” After he finished, he explained, ”

“I’ve observed teacher Jian Zheng and Wei Yuan carefully. Didn’t you notice that one of them always likes to stand in the observation Hall with his back facing you?The other always likes to sit on the eight trigrams stage with his back facing us.

and we will feel that both Wei Yuan and our teacher have the air of a master.

…. The four golden gongs felt like vomiting something in their heads, but they couldn’t.

Jiang Luzhong shook his head and returned to the main topic. from the looks of it, according to the information we have, that hand is the sealed artifact under the Sang Bo.

The sealed artifact under the Sang po … Yang qianhuan furrowed his brows. He had just returned to the capital the day before yesterday, and today, he was representing the Directorate of Celestials to assist in the encirclement and suppression of a fanatic.

He did know that the temple of mountains and rivers in Yongzhen had been blown up a while ago, but he didn’t pay much attention to it. As everyone knew, as long as a Warlock had an alchemy room and an Alchemy Lab, and delivered food on time, they could not go out for ten years.

“That monk is most likely henghui.” The sword-wielding golden gong said.

Yang qianhuan’s head was filled with question marks as she listened to the conversation between the Golden gongs.

“If we can capture him, we’ll be able to find out where Princess Ping Yang is,” Jiang Lu Zhong said.

Princess Ping Yang? The princess Ping Yang who had disappeared more than a year ago? Yang qianhuan remembered that when this Princess had gone missing, almost all the Directorate of Celestials had been mobilized, causing a huge commotion.

Hearing this, he couldn’t help but turn around and ask, ”

“It’s only been a few days since the Sang Bo case happened, and you night watchmen have already investigated the case so clearly? Wait … Why didn’t I hear the junior brothers from the Directorate of Celestials mention it? don’t tell me you didn’t ask them to assist in the case. You night watchmen aren’t that good at handling cases.”

This high-ranked Warlock was completely confused.

Logically speaking, it was impossible for the SI Tian Jian’s Warlock to not tell him about such a major case. After all, the SI Tian Jian often assisted the Imperial court in handling cases, and it was common for them to exchange information internally.

However, yang qianhuan had never heard of Heng Hui or Princess Ping Yang.

“Our night watchman didn’t even use a Gong. The case was handled by an ordinary Gong,” Yang Yan said, which was rare.

What does this have to do with you? you sound so smug … Yang qianhuan didn’t turn around. “A Gong? Tell me about it. ”

“You should know this Tong Luo. Mm, because he’s very famous in the Directorate of Celestials.” Jiang Luzhong recalled the rumors about Xu Qi ‘an. He knew that Xu Qi’ an had once given a lecture to the white-robed sorcerer at the Directorate of Celestials. his name is Xu Qi ‘an.

“Xu Qi ‘an?” Yang qianhuan raised her voice.

He had heard of Xu Qi ‘an as soon as he returned to the Directorate of Celestials. He was giving lectures to his junior brothers. He loved to show off … He was a formidable opponent.

She didn’t expect him to be the one who handled the Sang Bo case. It seemed like he did a good job and was in the limelight … He was a formidable opponent.

“Where did that arm come from?” Nangong qianrou said with hatred.

I don’t know, but its owner is definitely above the second stage. I don’t know much about the martial arts system … Ha, of course, I don’t care to understand.” Yang qianhuan’s tone was profound, like an invincible and lonely swordsman.

This person had been away from the capital for several months, and his condition had become more and more serious … The Golden gongs thought.

……

After yesterday’s exhaustion, Xu Qi ‘an, who had minor injuries, overslept. When he got up, it was already dawn.

It was definitely past seven in the morning. Since he was late, he was not in a hurry. He slowly got dressed and washed up, then climbed over the wall to the main house for breakfast.

From far away, he could hear the cries of a gluttonous child. The cries were full of energy, like the roars of a Hungry Dragon.

When she entered the front hall, her second uncle had already gone to work, and her aunt, who had woken up late, was having breakfast with lingyue. Xu lingying’s hands were placed on both sides of her back, and her body was leaning forward, sending out a sound wave attack at her mother.

The beautiful but dignified aunt furrowed her brows and ate silently.

Lu er comforted the little boy.

“What’s going on?” Xu Qi ‘an came in with a smile.

Xu lingyue’s eyes lit up. She turned around and said excitedly, “”Big brother is taking a rest today?”

“I overslept …” Xu Qi ‘an said guiltily.

big brother, big brother, ” Xu lingying ran over with her short legs. She grabbed Xu Qi ‘an’s clothes with one hand and pointed at her mother and sister with the other. they snatched my chicken leg. They even snatched a child’s chicken leg … ???….”

So excessive? Xu Qi ‘an looked at his aunt and sister.

The aunt snorted and was too lazy to explain.

Xu lingyue said helplessly,”last night, Ling Ying had a chicken leg left over. She didn’t want to eat it and brought it back to her room.” When she woke up this morning, she found that the chicken leg was missing. She thought that mother and I had stolen the chicken leg.”

That should have happened after I left last night. Otherwise, Xu lingying would be the one pulling her mother’s sleeve and accusing me of stealing her chicken leg … Xu Qi ‘an touched the little boy’s head.

“Big brother is the best at solving cases. Big brother will make the decision for you.”

The little boy was very happy when he heard this. He felt that his big brother was the best, except that he liked to snatch his food. He held onto his big brother’s clothes tightly and stared at his mother and sister with the same hatred.

Xu lingyue met her brother’s eyes and said, I asked the maidservant who took care of her. The maidservant said that Ling Ying got up in the middle of the night and ate it, but she didn’t believe it at all.

“Have you eaten yet?” Xu Qi ‘an lowered his head and asked.

“I didn’t,” Xu linging said loudly.

Xu lingyue said, ” the servant girl said that she ate with her eyes closed. We found a chicken leg bone at her bedside. She ate it very cleanly. It’s how she ate it.

“Big brother, I will definitely eat it. I’m lying.” Xu lingying couldn’t accept the fact that she had eaten the chicken leg that she couldn’t bear to eat.

“Big brother already knows who ate it.”

“Who is it?”

‘You ate it with your mouth, but your brain doesn’t know … “It’s a ghost,” Xu Qi ‘an said.

“A dead ghost?” Xu linging was so shocked that his pronunciation was off.

“Don’t scare the child.” The aunt said unhappily, then said to the young girl, if you sprinkle salt on the ghost and fry it in oil, it’ll taste better than chicken legs.

When Xu Ling heard this, he was both afraid and yearning.

…..

After breakfast, Xu Qi ‘an rode to the Yamen. Song tingfeng narrowed his eyes and said, “”Ningyan, Lord Wei has just sent someone to invite you to the noble spirit Pavilion.”

“You didn’t say I was late, did you?” Xu Qi ‘an said.

“I said you were scuttling around in the outhouse.” He said with squinted eyes.

“….”Xu Qi ‘an nodded and turned to head to the noble spirit building.

After the guard informed him, he quickly went upstairs and was shocked by the scene in front of him.

In addition to Wei Yuan, there were four other Jin gongs in the tea room. They were all injured. Yang Yan’s arm was hung up with gauze, as if he had a fracture.

Jiang Luzhong’s forehead was tightly bandaged. He only wore one boot on his foot, and the other was wrapped in thick gauze.

Nangong qianrou looked normal on the outside, but her face was as pale as a paper doll.

The other Jin Luo, whom he didn’t know, had his head wrapped in thick gauze. It looked like he had been hit in the head during a street fight.

This scene was both absurd and comical. A dignified high-ranked martial artist was like a group of rogues who had lost a group fight, somewhat dejected.

“Pfft …” Xu Qi ‘an turned her head and couldn’t help but laugh.

“What are you laughing at?” The four golden gongs stared at him expressionlessly.

“I’m not laughing …” Xu Qi ‘an refused to admit.

Wei Yuan beckoned Xu Qi ‘an over and pointed to the seat opposite him. “Last night, Heng Hui appeared. His target was the Minister of War’s residence.”

Xu Qi ‘an put away his playful expression and turned serious. “Jinluo, you …”

Wei Yuan nodded. Heng Hui was the one who injured him. Last night, the Yamen set up a trap in the Minister of War’s residence and the chief Assistant’s residence. Four Jin gongs and the supervisor’s third disciple, yang qianhuan, were unable to stop Heng Hui.

Xu Qi ‘an was both shocked and not shocked by this outcome. He had not expected five rank-4 experts to fight together. He was not shocked because he felt that the sealed artifact under sang Bo should be of this level.

“Have you seen clearly what his background is?” Xu Qi ‘an was asking about the sealed artifact’s original body.

“A broken hand.” Jiang Luzhong answered.

As expected … It was indeed that strange hand. Xu Qi ‘an looked at Wei Yuan and said, “”Duke of Wei, what grade is this?”

If he had such strength with one hand, what realm was his master at?

“At least second-grade.” Wei Yuan said.

At least second-grade, but there was a high probability that he was first-grade … Otherwise, it would be impossible to seal and not kill … what’s the origin of that sealed artifact? ” Xu Qi ‘an guessed. is it related to the demon race? ”

“This matter involves a great secret, but I don’t know the details.” Wei Yuan refused to reveal anything.

A broken hand and a powerful cultivator had implicated the Directorate of Celestials, the imperial family, and the Buddhist League. It also involved the history of 500 years ago. As Xu Qi ‘an thought about it, he glanced at the Jinggong staff, trying to find some clues in their eyes.

The Golden gongs ignored the little Gong’s observation.

Heng Hui has a Qi-concealing magic artifact on him. We can be sure that he hasn’t left the city yet. I’ve already reported the situation to His Majesty this morning. Wei Yuan said gently, ”

“You can continue with your investigation.”

Xu Qi ‘an understood the eunuch’s hint. where is the Minister of War? ” he asked.

“In the name of protection, he is under house arrest.” Wei Yuan took a sip of tea.

“I’ll investigate it now.” Xu Qian understood.

“Minister Zhang is a Rank 2 official, be careful.” It’s the rule that people above the fourth stage can’t use aura observation, but you can still bring warlocks.”

‘This means that even though the Warlock’s accusation can not be used as evidence, it can be used as a reference …’ “Yes,” Xu Qi ‘an cupped his fists.

He glanced at the dejected golden gongs, and with another “pfft,” he hurried out of the tea room before the Golden gongs got angry.
