Four: Now?]

No. 4 Chu Yuanzhen was the first to reply.

The Golden Lotus Daoist said: [Nine: No, there is no need for now. The nine-colored lotus flower is ripe, it still takes half a month, and it enters the maturity period, which is the most fragile time, and it can't stand the brilliance.

[Unless the Earth Sect wants to destroy it, it will not attack at this time. But half a month later, there will inevitably be a big war. 】

No. 2 Li Miaozhen said: [The demon daos of the Earth Sect have discovered your hiding place?]

The Golden Lotus Daoist replied: [There is a close induction between the black lotus and the nine-colored lotus, usually I can cover up the connection between the two sides, but the lotus seed is about to mature, and the breath cannot be concealed. 】

Is the head of the earth sect called Black Lotus, eh, the Taoist priests of the earth sect are all named after colored lotus flowers? I don't know if there is a white lotus......... It was the first time Xu Qi'an knew the Dao number of the head of the Earth Sect.

The title of Black Lotus, Heavenless Buddha, is it you?

He sat down at the table, muttered something that only he could understand, and then smiled a little lonely.

Chu Yuanzhen said: [This also means that the Earth Sect Demon Dao will be prepared more properly, which is very unfavorable to us. 】

At this time, No. 5, who rarely spoke, Lina replied: [Whatever, if there are many people, I can also smash them into meat sauce. 】

Seeing this, Xu Qi'an felt that it was necessary to remind them out loud to refer to the pen and enter the information:

[Three: I heard my eldest brother say that when he was in Chuzhou, he saw the head of the Earth Sect participating in the refining of the blood pill, and it was a clone. However, there are three hidden qualities of strength. If there is another doppelganger like this when competing for the nine-colored lotus, I think we can give up the nine-colored lotus in advance. 】

Ah, it's really a bit of a shame to pretend to be Erlang to speak, no, what really makes me ashamed is that Li Miaozhen and Daoist Jin Lian know my identity......... Xu Qi'an couldn't wait to cover his face, feeling that his social death had deepened again.

The members of the Heaven and Earth Society felt a pang in their hearts, if the Black Lotus Dao Leader could really dispatch a third-grade clone, even if it was a clone that could reach the third-grade combat power, it would be enough to sweep away the people of the Heaven and Earth Society.

The Golden Lotus Daoist said: [Black Lotus gained great benefits in the Chuzhou Massacre case, and the three-grade clone must have been shaped at that time. Although the doppelganger was destroyed afterwards, he must still have the strength to spare, and maybe he will create a clone of the same realm again.

[But you don't need to worry, now that I have recovered, as long as the black lotus is not the main body, I can deal with him.] Hehe, he can't come over in his body, I can guarantee that.

[What you have to deal with are the other Lotus Daoists of the Earth Sect. 】

What do you do to guarantee that the Black Lotus will not come to the body? Also, Golden Lotus Dao Master, are you really so strong, the Black Lotus clone is a third-grade........ Xu Qi'an frowned.

Well, that day, the Golden Lotus Daoist sneaked back to the Earth Sect to steal the nine-colored lotus, and after being injured by the head of the Black Lotus Dao, he fled all the way to the capital. In this way, the Golden Lotus Dao Elder is more powerful than I imagined?

Even surpassing the four pins?

Seeing that the Golden Lotus Daoist swore an oath, the members of the Heaven and Earth Society breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Yuanzhen wrote: [The Chuzhou Massacre case tells us that King Huai and Black Lotus colluded, so it can be inferred that Emperor Yuanjing would also collude with the Earth Sect? 】

That's right, why didn't I think that if Emperor Yuan Jing intervened in this matter, there would be a lot of variables......... Li Miaozhen's heart sank.

Chu Yuanzhen deserves to be another IQ leader in this group, and he expressed my concerns.......... Xu Qi'an bowed slightly.

It's okay to smash it together........ Lina thought nonchalantly.

Number Six and Number One are always peeping at the screen, and there is no book.

The Golden Lotus Daoist replied: [This matter is also easy to handle, No. 3, you inform your cousin and ask him to help. First, it can increase our combat power, and second, Wei Yuan will not sit idly by. 】

Good idea!

Chu Yuanzhen's eyes lit up.

Although Xu Ningyan is a six-rank martial artist, he has a small success in King Kong and a Confucian magic scroll, and his combat power is far better than that of ordinary four-rank.

The most important thing is that Xu Ningyan is a martial artist. The martial arts attack and killing methods are the top in all systems.

Endurance is also top-notch.

In addition to the single means, the inability to deal with complex situations, and the lack of group attack skills, there are no shortcomings in all aspects.

Well, Daoist Jin Lian chose me as the holder of the No. 3 Book of Heavens fragment at the beginning, and later used me as a bridge and reached a certain tacit understanding with Duke Wei, did he have the idea of using the vicar at a critical moment?

Xu Qi'an suddenly thought of this detail and thought it was very likely.

In this way, it is in line with the image of the Golden Lotus Dao Elder Silver Coin.

Daoist Jin Lian, don't you feel ashamed to say such things........... Li Miaozhen didn't speak, she sat at the table with complicated eyes.

She knew the true identity of No. 3, and now watching Xu Qi'an and Golden Lotus Dao sing a double reed, the Holy Maiden of Tianzong felt very ashamed.

[Three: Okay, Daoist, I'll inform my cousin.] However, if Wei Yuan agrees to make a move, I'm afraid your lotus seeds will have to share some profits. 】

[Nine: No problem, the nine-colored lotus flower matures once and can produce fourteen lotus seeds at a time, and the poor road can only divide two more grains. I hope you can tell your cousin about this and let him tell Wei Yuan. 】

[Three: Okay, my strength is low, so I won't join in the fun, but my cousin is extremely brave, and he will definitely be able to help the Taoist protect the lotus seeds. 】

[Nine: Hehe, a double master. 】

These two .......... Li Miaozhen covered her face silently.

...........

After ending the group chat, Xu Qi'an received a message from the Golden Lotus Daoist: "How are you cultivating?"

Xu Qi'an replied: "I just lack a hearty battle, maybe I can break through and be promoted to the fifth grade." ”

Jin Lian Dao Chief: "Very good, the five-grade martial artist is the real one who enters the hall and is not afraid of group attacks." ”

Xu Qi'an: "Dao Chief, let's not talk about this first, Black Lotus has colluded with Emperor Yuan Jing, if you let him know that I am the holder of the fragment of the Book of the Ground, then Emperor Yuan Jing will also know." If the two of you join forces afterwards, I'll be in trouble. How can I temporarily unsubscribe from the Fragment of the Book from the Ground?"

If Black Lotus doesn't know that he is the holder of the Groundbook Fragment, then the aggro value will not be too high.

The most important thing is that in Chuzhou City that day, Black Lotus knew that the mysterious powerhouse was the holder of the fragment of the Book of the Ground, so if Xu Qi'an participated in the Lotus Seed Guardian Battle, there were only two ways to go:

First, conceal everything about "Xu Qi'an".

This method has great drawbacks, he can't use the black gold long knife, he can't use the Heaven and Earth Slash, and he can't perform the Vajra Divine Skill. And the gods have fallen into a deep sleep.

If you can't play your skills, how can you protect the lotus seeds?

Second, the relationship of recognition with the fragments of the book from the ground is dissolved.

In this way, the reason why Xu Qi'an appeared in Jianzhou was because he was invited by Li Miaozhen and Chu Yuanzhen. It is not the identity of the holder of the fragment of his book from the ground.

Smart people even associate that Chu Yuanzhen and Li Miaozhen helped him intercept the forbidden army that day, whether the two sides made a deal in private, in exchange for Xu Qi'an to help protect the lotus seeds.

In contrast, the second method is significantly better.

Daoist Jin Lian was silent for a long time, and then said: "When you come to Jianzhou, I will dissolve the relationship of recognizing the lord for you." The secret method of the book from the ground cannot be passed on, I hope you understand. Of course, if you are willing to worship me as a teacher, this is not a problem. ”

Hehe, can you say hello to the four teachers of my Yunlu Academy first, and see if they agree?" The corners of Xu Qi'an's mouth twitched.

Why does everyone want to be my Master?

On the contrary, the big guy who has a mentor and apprenticeship to me has never had a similar thought, and he is not even willing to accept me as a righteous son..........

The next day, Xu Qi'an got up when the sun was shining, came to the courtyard with a wooden basin, and saw the princess sitting on a chair with messy hair, squinting and basking in the sun.

He glanced at the first beauty of Dafeng, who had mediocre facial features, didn't speak, and took care of himself with a bucket of water, ready to wash his face and brush his teeth.

Seeing this, the princess hurriedly ran into the house, came out with her wooden basin in her hand, squatted beside him, and poured the remaining half of the bucket of water into her own wooden basin.

Then soak the white handkerchief and wipe the cheeks carefully.

Xu Qi'an tilted his head, looked at the woman beside him, and said in disbelief: "Are you waiting for me to fetch water?"

The princess wiped her face, glanced at her, and hummed: "Can't?"

Xu Qi'an put down the bristle toothbrush and arched his hand towards her.

...........

Leaving the princess's courtyard, Xu Qi'an returned to Xu's mansion, took his beloved little mare, and rode it to the Yamen of the guard.

When he arrived at the gate, he threw the reins to the guards guarding the gate and went straight inside.

Out of instinct, the guard took the reins, suddenly remembered that Xu Yingong was no longer Yingong, looked at his back and opened his mouth, and finally remained silent.

Along the way, many familiar silver gongs and gongs bowed to him, but no one stepped forward to greet him.

It's not that they're snobbish, it's that they're showing too much enthusiasm, and they're likely to be secretly reported to His Majesty, and that's what the watchmen did.

Only Wei Yuan didn't need to look at Emperor Yuan Jing's face, even if Xu Qi'an was no longer a watchman, the incense was still there.

Therefore, he quickly met Wei Yuan, on the seventh floor, in the familiar tea room.

"Gong Wei, the Golden Lotus Daoist of the Earth Sect asked me to bring a message, the nine-colored lotus flower is about to mature, I hope you can help, he will use two lotus seeds as a reward. ”

Xu Qi'an still hugged his fists respectfully as before.

He didn't explain what the nine-colored lotus was, because with Wei Yuan's knowledge, it was impossible not to know the nine-colored lotus.

Wei Yuan was one of the most knowledgeable people Xu Qi'an had ever met, and even the female scholar Huaiqing was far inferior to him.

"One pill is enough, I will ask Qianrou to help, but he is the only one, and there will be no other beaters. Wei Yuan said gently.

He immediately got up, looked at the vista and said in a deep voice, "Where?"

"Jianzhou. ”

"Jianzhou ........" Wei Yuan muttered: "Go back and get a copy of the information of the Martial Arts League for you, the nine-colored lotus is ripe, and the Jianzhou Martial Arts League, as the head snake of the land, will not pay no attention to it, and will even fight for it." ”

Xu Qi'an nodded, and then asked, "Duke Wei, have you ever heard of a person named Su Hang?"

"Soviet Airlines ......"

Wei Yuan frowned, repeated it a few times, and said, "It seems that I have an impression, but I can't remember it for a while." What do you ask this man to do?"

"He was a jinshi in the 29th year of Joan of Arc, and in the 14th year of Yuanjing, he was demoted to Jiangzhou as the prefect, and the following year he was beheaded for corruption and bribery. He was the father of a friend of mine, and I promised her to help him find out the truth about his father's beheading. Xu Qi'an said.

"What's the problem?" Wei Yuan asked rhetorically.

It is not unusual for a high-ranking official to be beheaded for corruption and bribery, and there have been similar downfalls of high-ranking officials in every Jingcha.

"I learned from secret channels that this person was defeated by Wang Dang, Cao Guogong and many noble clansmen. Xu Qi'an said.

Wei Yuan thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Your information is wrong, I don't remember that there have been such characters for more than twenty years. ”

Wei, Wei Gong didn't know......... Xu Qi'an's pupils shrank slightly, and his thoughts were boiling all of a sudden.

As if he had caught something, his inspiration flashed away, and finally he chose to be silent first, and then discuss it with Wei Yuan when he collected more clues and speculations.

"Gong Wei, I want to go to the archives to check this person's information. ”

"Okay, I'll give you a handwritten letter. ”

.............

The three-day appointment arrived soon, and in the private room of the restaurant, Xu Qi'an waited for a quarter of an hour, and Mr. Chen and Dali Sicheng came one after another, both of them were wearing civilian clothes and made simple disguises.

Dali Sicheng took out two files from his arms and handed them to Xu Qi'an: "One is from the 14th year of Yuanjing, and the other is from the 15th year of Yuanjing." ”

Xu Qi'an unfolded this dossier and read it carefully.

The file of the 14th year of Yuanjing: Su Hang, a scholar of Dongge University, accepted bribes and shielded his subordinates to embezzle disaster relief food, resulting in countless starvation deaths and being demoted to Jiangzhou.

Yuanjing's 15-year dossier: Su Hang, a scholar of Dongge University, also accepted bribes, and was sued by someone in Beijing.

Su Hang turned out to be a scholar of Dongge University.......... Xu Qi'an returned the file to Dali Temple, and then looked at the file handed over by Chen Zhutou, and there was no difference between the two.

"Lord Sicheng, how long have you been an official in the court?" Xu Qi'an raised his glass and signaled.

"Five out of twenty. Dali Temple Cheng also raised the wine glass and took a sip.

"Then why don't you know Su Hang, a scholar from Dongge University?" Xu Qi'an questioned.

Dali Sicheng's face stiffened suddenly, holding a wine glass, stunned, yes, why don't I remember the cabinet bachelor? Why don't I have the slightest impression of Su Hang?

Xu Qi'an didn't ask much, beckoned the two of them to drink and eat, this year there is no need to think about the rules of drinking and not driving, driving and not drinking, even if he is drunk and lies on the little mare, the little mare can also carry him back to Xu's mansion.

After being full of wine and food, Xu Qi'an did not send Dali Temple Cheng and Chen Zhutou, and watched them open the door of the private room and leave.

Xu Qi'an was a little drunk, lay down on the big chair, put one hand on the table, and tapped the table with his fingers rhythmically, he fell into thought.

"Dali Temple and the Criminal Department have files, but the Yamen of the Changing People does not, according to the inference of time, Wei Gong was not in charge of the Fighting Yamen at that time, he really began to take power, after the Battle of Shanhaiguan......... And Su Hang died 23 years ago, and the Battle of Shanhaiguan took place 20 years ago.

"Su Hang is a scholar of Dongge University, but Dali Temple Cheng and Wei Gong don't remember this person, not only them, I asked Cao Guogong's soul again, he didn't even remember Su Hang, and then thought of the strange disappearance of the word in the secret letter........

Xu Qi'an had four words in his mind: shield the heavenly machine.

Subconsciously, his thought was: This matter has something to do with the correction?

But I vaguely feel that this speculation lacks evidence and corresponding logic......... Thinking about it, he leaned back on the bench and took a nap.

A quarter of an hour later, he woke up.

"Hey, I actually fell asleep? Dali Temple Cheng and Chen Zhutou left?" Xu Qi'an pinched his eyebrows and stood up by himself:

"Su Hang's case is really troublesome, there are no clues at all, I wouldn't have agreed to Su Su if I knew it. It's not because she's so pretty, otherwise I wouldn't bother to bother with it.........."

He seemed to have forgotten everything he had just forgotten and stretched out to leave the box.

............

Dusk, inside the dormitory.

The old eunuch stepped over the high threshold and walked quickly into the dormitory.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent matter.......

Emperor Yuan Jing just ate the bait, and sat and vomited with the help of medicinal power, and did not pay attention.

The old eunuch didn't dare to disturb, and waited a little impatiently for a long time, and finally, Emperor Yuan Jing finished spitting, opened his eyes, and said lightly: "What's the matter?"

The old eunuch took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Emperor Yuan Jing.

Emperor Yuan Jing took it, unfolded the note and glanced at it, and a bright light burst out from his deep pupils.

"Nine-colored lotus seeds, igniting the ......... of all things"
