Chapter 14: The Female Corpse

Xu Qi'an didn't wait for Wei Yuan's reply, he waited for the golden gongs first, and a series of powerful figures appeared on the seventh floor, two of whom were old acquaintances.

Nangong Qianrou and Zhang Kaitai.

"Gong Wei, are you okay. ”

A sturdy and burly golden gong held a purple gold hammer, and his big bronze bell-like eyes scanned the surroundings, as if he was facing a great enemy.

"The lowly and others were derelict in their duties, and they did not find that there was an invasion of foreign enemies, so please forgive the Duke of Wei. ”

Zhang Kaitai said as he spread his spiritual power, sensing possible dangers and enemies.

Gradually, the seasoned golden gongs sensed that something was wrong. First of all, with the foundation they had laid in the God Refining Realm, if there was a crisis around them, the spiritual sense would give feedback.

But not at all.

The entire Haoqi Building was calm, but the officials in the building were in a panic at the moment.

Secondly, if a strong enemy invades and can conceal their perception, then Wei Gong will definitely not be safe and sound now.

Could it be that as the legend goes, there are masters in the shadows around Wei Gong to protect him?

This guess rose in the hearts of the golden gongs, and no one thought of Xu Qi'an, it's very simple, the roar just now, its primordial strength may not be anything in the eyes of the golden gongs, but that is thick, it is really amazing.

It's definitely not a guy who has just entered the God Refining Realm that can inspire it.

At this time, they heard Nangong Qianrou ask Xu Qi'an, "Were you playing ghost just now?" ”

Nangong Qianrou knew that Xu Qi'an was not an ordinary God Refining Realm.

What the hell, I'm not Ning Caichen...... Xu Qi'an looked at Wei Yuan, and when he saw his head, he generously admitted: "It's me, just now Duke Wei wanted to test my Yuan Shen strength, so I roared casually." ”

In the tea room, there was a brief silence.

The golden gongs looked at him silently, their faces lacking expression.

After a long time, Zhang Kaitai said tentatively: "Xu Ningyan, you were promoted to the Refining God Realm in Yunzhou. ”

As early as when Jiang Luzhong's secret letter was transmitted back to the capital, they learned that Xu Qi'an had been promoted to the God Refining Realm, and at that time, Duke Wei was in a very good mood when he talked about it.

However, even so, it had only been more than half a month since he had been promoted to the God Refining Realm, and the strong and pure Yuan Shen fluctuation just now should not be what this hot God Refining Realm martial artist should have.

This talent is really a bit amazing.

Thinking of this, the golden gongs looked at Xu Qi'an's eyes, as if looking at strange objects.

"I suddenly understood why Jiang Luzhong and Yang Yan were fighting for him. One of the golden gongs muttered.

Scales fall from one's eyes!

The eyes of the golden gongs became more and more intense.

"Don't get me wrong...... Xu Qi'an waved his hand: "I was promoted to the God Refining Realm at the last moment before I died. ”

This..... The golden gongs examined him again, and after a short silence, they said in unison: "Duke Wei ....."

Wei Yuan shook his head: "Xu Qi'an is still under Yang Yan, if you want to, go to Yang Yan yourself." ”

"It's a deal!"

In addition to Nangong Qianrou, the six golden gongs sounded in unison again.

It doesn't matter who I belong to, it's just that Yang Jinluo is too innocent........ Xu Qi'an prayed that Yang Yan would return to Beijing later, at least when the heat passed.

Just imagine, Yang Jinluo, who was working hard to quell the rebellion and suppress bandits outside, returned to Beijing all the way, and he was greeted not by cheers, but by the fists of his colleagues. and after knowing this, Jiang Luzhong's backstab.

Zhang Kaitai walked to the observation hall, looked out, and said helplessly: "The watchmen and guards are gathered downstairs. ”

Wei Yuan said: "Disperse, if you know about this matter, you are not allowed to spread it." ”

"Yes!"

..........

Waiting for the guards and watchmen outside to disperse, Xu Qi'an drank a cup of tea slowly, and then retired from Haoqi Building and returned to Chunfeng Hall.

Aunt and Xu Lingyue sat at the table and waited, and Xu Lingyin curled up in her mother's arms and fell asleep.

"Big brother, where have you been. Xu Lingyue greeted her, her eyebrows were furrowed, and she said with palpitations:

"How could there be thunder just now, both Niang and Suzune were scared. ”

Xu Lingyue is a scheming, somewhat small-bellied younger sister, just now she was also scared like earth, but in front of her eldest brother, she has to maintain a perfect image.

Clever use of sister and mother.

"It's a thunderbolt on a sunny day, it's a common thing. Xu Qi'an took out a hundred taels of silver ticket from his arms and said, "The matter has been settled, this is the compensation given by the Zhao family, you don't have to worry about this matter." ”

The aunt looked at the silver ticket and said in disbelief: "Give it to me?"

Xu Qi'an nodded vigorously: "Auntie works hard for the sake of the family, this is what Auntie deserves." It's a pity that it's only one hundred taels, after all, the backers behind the people are not small. ”

The aunt took the silver ticket, looked at him, was a little moved, and whispered: "Ning Yan, in fact, the aunt just loves to complain, and if you don't like it, don't take it to heart." ”

"It's all family. Xu Qi'an said sincerely.

"Ah, by the way, I have something to do tonight, so I'm not going home. ”

"What's the matter?" the aunt collected the silver ticket and said, "You haven't rested at home for a day since you came back from Yunzhou, what's the matter?"

I want to develop two peaks, a canyon, and invest billions of gold with people........ Xu Qian said.

"Big brother didn't go home last night, so it can't be a colleague tonight. Xu Lingyue was a little suspicious, relying on a woman's intuition, she asked:

"Dad said that the eldest brother likes to go to the teaching department. ”

"Go, go, go. The aunt smacked her: "Your eldest brother is not such a person, Erlang fools around, your eldest brother can't fool around." ”

"That big brother swore to me that he had never been to the Workshop Division. Xu Lingyue pursed her lips, and her eyes were full of stubbornness.

No, you're a sister, where did you come from to question me...... Xu Qi'an's face was serious, and he swore:

"I, Xu Qi'an, have never spent money in the Teaching Workshop. ”

Xu Lingyue smiled, her eyes rippling.

"Lingyue, you can also question Erlang like this when you go home. Xu Qi'an was unbalanced in his heart, and encouraged, "I believe that Erlang is like me, and he is also an upright gentleman." ”

"Of course Jiro won't go to the Jiaofang Division. The aunt was full of confidence, thinking in her heart, when Xu Pingzhi returned home in the evening, she would question herself like this, to see if he dared to swear.

Sending away his aunt and sisters, Xu Qi'an planned to go back to Qingyuntang to get the gold medal back, but he didn't expect it to be sent back.

"Lord Xu, Lu Qing, the chief catcher of the government office, asks to see you. "The officials of the Spring Breeze Hall came in to report.

"Invite her into the hall. Xu Qi'an turned his head and entered Brother Chun's office again.

After a while, sitting behind the table, he heard hurried footsteps, as if he was chasing something, and then the sturdy female catcher stepped over the threshold and entered the hall.

The moment he saw Xu Qi'an, Lu Qing, whose beautiful face was full of surprise and excitement, was stunned and stared at him suspiciously.

Xu Qi'an was also looking at her friend who she hadn't seen for a long time, her eyes were clear, her wheat-colored skin, high nose bridge, big eyes, and her small mouth were ruddy, and her cultivation seemed to be one step closer.

The official authority on his body is also even greater than before.

"Lu Zhutou, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come here to be harmed?" Xu Qi'an smiled and got up to greet him.

"Xu, Lord Xu?" Lu Zhutou stared at Xu Qi'an.

"I took the rebirth pill in Yunzhou, and I escaped death, but my appearance has also changed. Xu Qi'an explained.

Lu Qing nodded, smiled reluctantly, took out the gold medal from his arms, and said, "The catcher of the government told me about the private school, and I made the decision to let Zhu Zhutou go back and personally return the gold medal to Lord Xu." Come and visit by the way.

"This thin noodles, Lord Xu must give it to me. ”

As he spoke, Lu Qing's delicate eyes stared at Xu Qi'an, and if there was any displeasure on his face, he quickly apologized, returned the gold medal and left.

"The gold medal is not important," Xu Qi'an threw the gold medal on the table and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, drink together at night?"

Lu Qing shook his head and refused: "Lord Xu, I am a woman after all......"

If you're a man, that's what I just said: let's go to the Workshop Division for a drink. Xu Qi'an muttered in his heart.

The two drank tea, chatted and forgot the time, until the sound of the scattered bangzi came, Lu Qing suddenly came back to his senses from Xu Qi'an's "beauty", got up and hugged his fists:

And the little woman took her leave. ”

Xu Qi'an sent her to the door of the yamen, looked at the slender back of the female catcher, and couldn't help touching her chin.

"Lu Qing seems to be a little interesting to me? Song Tingfeng said that she has never married, although she belongs to the older leftover women in this era, but for me, a woman under thirty is the real peak.

"Forget it, Lu Qing is a woman from a good family, different from the girl of the Teaching Workshop. The world of a good woman is not that you can enter and exit if you want, you have to keep going in and out. ”

Xu Qi'an will definitely not be able to do this.

..........

In the sunset, Xu Qi'an rode a horse, slowly walked through the ancient spacious streets, and entered the Teaching Workshop Division.

Fuxiang was sick, infected with the wind cold, groggy, and lay on the bed with a pale face.

When I saw Xu Qi'an coming, I was very surprised, and I insisted on getting up.

This made Xu Bai feel very guilty, pressed Fuxiang's shoulder, and blamed herself: "It's me who is not good, it's me who has worked hard for the beauty." ”

Fuxiang's beautiful eyes were half-open and half-closed, drowsy, and said softly: "The girls in the courtyard, Xu Lang can choose at will, and they will serve Xu Lang for the slave family." ”

In the bedroom, the eyes of the three delicate maids lit up.

Xu Qi'an shook his head and refused seriously: "The lady is infected with the cold, where am I still in the mood to have fun? ”

After speaking, he grabbed Fuxiang's wrist and crossed into a thin stream of qi.

Qi function can dredge the veins, activate the vitality in the body, nourish the internal organs, and multiply people's resistance. It's just a bit of a cold, no problem.

"Cough cough cough ....." Fuxiang coughed violently, and her pretty face was flushed.

A quarter of an hour later, her face had changed dramatically.

"Xu Lang, the slave family is much better. "The eyes of the floating incense are shining, and the gaze of affection.

The three maids also showed joy.

The lady didn't get better after drinking the medicine, and as soon as Xu Gongzi came, her complexion immediately improved, and it felt good to have a man to rely on.

"Rest well, I'll come back to see you tomorrow. Xu Qi'an pinched her face and left Yingmei Pavilion.

After confirming that he was gone, Fuxiang opened her eyes and said softly, "You all go out, you don't have to leave anyone in the room." ”

The three maids departed.

The bedroom door closed slowly, and Fuxiang's face, which had already improved, quickly declined.

In the bedroom, a soft sigh echoed.

...........

Xu Qi'an turned his head and went to Qingchi Courtyard, where another Oiran lived - Ming Yan.

Ming Yan Oiran is petite and exquisite, a typical southern girl, after Xu Qi'an let her realize that "lying on the knee can touch the shoulder", the two initially reached a friendship with Guan Bao, and said a lot of heart-wrenching words.

Ming Yan was born in the south of the Yangtze River, and when she was a girl, she entered Beijing with her promoted father. thought it was the beginning of soaring, but it turned out to be a broken ending.

The next year, her father was liquidated for standing in the wrong line and exiled for 3,000 miles, and there has been no news since then, and Ming Yan was also charged into the Teaching Workshop Division.

"Lord Xu!"

Through the message of the porter, I learned that Xu Qi'an was coming, wearing a light blue complicated dress, wearing a precious headdress, dressed up with flowers and branches, and the bright and moving Oiran was greeted with great surprise.

After seeing Xu Qi'an, his smile turned into astonishment, and he almost thought that he had recognized the wrong person.

"Not seeing each other for a day is like three autumns. Xu Qi'an smiled and bowed: "I'll talk about the big change in appearance later, I haven't seen Ming Yan Niangzi for more than a month, as if I have been separated by three lives....... Ah, it turns out that we are in love with three lives. ”

It's nice to talk to....... Ming Yan Oiran's eyes were moist in surprise, and her smile became sweeter and more affectionate.

Hey, I'm getting more and more comfortable with these irresponsible sweet words....... Xu Qi'an was ashamed in his heart.

However, in a place like the Jiaofang Division, it was originally an old fritter that could be mixed with the wind and water, and the straight man of steel had no room to survive.

Ming Yan Oiran led Xu Qi'an into a seat, and said coquettishly: "Why didn't Xu Gongzi stay in Yingmei Pavilion?"

As he spoke, he carried the wine jug in one hand and his sleeves in the other, and poured Xu Qi'an a glass of wine.

"Because I miss Mingyan Niangzi. Xu Qi'an replied sincerely.

Ming Yan Oiran turned her head happily and instructed the maid: "Close the courtyard door, don't play tea tonight." ”

snuggled in Xu Qi'an's arms, raised his bright and delicate face, and looked at Xu Qi'an obsessively, he hadn't seen him for more than a month, and Xu Qi'an's appearance had changed dramatically.

If it was said that he used to fancy his talent, then now, Ming Yan Oiran is a little greedy for him.

Xu Qi'an briefly talked about what happened in Yunzhou and talked eloquently:

“....... At that time, 8,000 rebels besieged the Yamen of the political envoy of Yunzhou, and there were figures on all sides, and the governor was trapped in the hall, and his life hung by a thread.

"I have no choice but to use one person and one sword, to block in front of the eight thousand rebels, I will kill one when one comes, and I will kill one pair when I come to two. Who can make a sword? I think it's just me Xu Qi'an.

"I cut for half an hour, and I didn't blink an eye. Finally managed to hold out until reinforcements arrived. ”

As they spoke, the two of them went from the hall to the bedroom, then to the tub, and then rolled onto the bed.

"Xu Gongzi, didn't you say that you would let the slave family give you a dance. Ming Yan pouted, unhappy and coquettish.

"Let's have a Latin dance. ”

Qingike Temple, the bed of the Ming Yan Oiran, shook until the middle of the night.

........

The next day, the energetic Xu Qi'an left Qingchi Courtyard and rode to the palace.

In the distance, he saw the little eunuch who supervised him standing not far from the palace gate, pacing back and forth anxiously.

"Yo, the little father-in-law is very polite today. ”

Xu Qi'an sat on horseback, laughing and teasing.

"Master Xu, you can count on it. The little eunuch hurried up and said as he walked: "Something happened, something happened, someone fished out a female corpse in the well last night." ”
