Dafeng's Night Squad

455 Is this a relative’s child?

Yan Caiwei received the call and immediately left the palace. She rode her horse and followed the guard to the Lingbao temple. They passed through many gardens and ancestral halls of the human sect before they arrived at a small courtyard in the depths of the Daoist temple.

“Miss Caiwei, please.”

An old eunuch in a Python robe stood at the entrance of the courtyard, smiling as he made a “please” gesture.

Yan Caiwei replied with an “en” and walked through the courtyard with light steps. As she stepped into the quiet room, the hem of her dress swayed gently.

In the quiet room, Emperor Yuan jing and Luo Yuheng were sitting opposite each other on a tea table. On the tea table was a Taoist ancient book and an incense burner, with thin green smoke rising.

Yan Caiwei swept her gaze across the table and saw that there were no delicious desserts. She retracted her gaze in disappointment and cupped her hands in greeting,”Greetings, Your Majesty, greetings, state preceptor.”

Emperor Yuan jing examined the little Junior Sister in the eyes of the white-robed sorcerer in the Directorate of celestial. Her almond-shaped eyes were big and bright, her face was round and sweet, and she was a cheerful girl who could make people unconsciously happy.

“Why did the supervisor send you to see me?”

“It’s like this. Third senior, yang qianhuan, accidentally suffered from Qi deviation while cultivating yesterday. 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, ” what? yang qianhuan’s cultivation has gone berserk? ”

The old Emperor was shocked and angry, as if it had rained all night.

Luo Yuheng’s eyebrows twitched as he stared at li Caiwei. This was not the style of a supervisor.

“That’s why teacher Jian Zheng asked me to borrow a person from His Majesty to fight with that bald donkey from the Western regions on behalf of the Directorate of Celestials,” said Yan Caiwei calmly.

Borrowing people?

The scheming Emperor Yuan jing didn’t agree immediately. After searching for a while and not finding the person he expected, he frowned and asked, ”

“Who does the supervisor want?”

“The night watchman is the silver Gong Xu Qi ‘an.” Yan Caiwei’s voice was clear.

The quiet room suddenly fell silent.

After a long time, the old Emperor asked in an uncertain tone, “”Xu Qi ‘an? Xu Qi’ an?”

yes, it’s Xu Qi ‘an. He’s good at solving cases. He died once when he came back from Yunzhou. Yan Caiwei said coyly.

Emperor Yuan jing waved his hand. of course I know it’s him. I mean, why is it Xu Qi ‘an? ”

This female disciple, Jian Zheng, was a little too innocent. When he spoke to her, he had to speak clearly for her to understand.

“I don’t know,” Yan Caiwei shook her head honestly.

......... Emperor Yuan jing let out a breath and waved his hand. “Zhen knows, you can go first.”

“Alright,” he said.

Yan Caiwei walked away with light steps. She planned to go to Princess huaiqing’s Dexin court to have tea, eat pastries, and share her experiences.

After Yan Caiwei left, Emperor Yuan jing held the teacup and pondered for a long time. He then asked in a heavy tone, “”State preceptor, what do you think?”

Xu Qi ‘an is talented, but as a martial artist, he has no chance of winning against the Buddhist sect. Luo Yuheng’s facial features were exquisite and dignified. When he was expressionless, he was like a Jade Goddess.

“However, the heaven secrets compass is a prison officer’s accompanying magic tool and definitely won’t be lent out. Perhaps there are other reasons.”

Emperor Yuan jing sighed and said, ” forget it. Let’s not bother about him. This old man is very scheming. I can’t see through him. I still have matters to attend to, so I’ll return to the palace first.”

The person Emperor Yuan jing disliked the most was the supervisor. In the entire Da Feng, he looked down on all the civil and military officials. Even Luo Yuheng, the head of the human sect, addressed him as a fellow Daoist and was on equal footing with him.

Only the supervisor was the one he really needed to look up to, and Emperor Yuan jing could not see through him at all.

For an Emperor who held supreme power, this was a very difficult thing to do.

Sitting in the carriage, Emperor Yuan jing ordered, “”Summon 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 watermelons outside the stargazing tower. He sized up the monks led by Arhat du’ e in the crowd.

“Yes, the palace guards are waiting at the Yamen. Lord Xu, please go.” The messenger Gong urged.

If I had gone a little later, my salary for this year would have been deducted ... Without saying a word, Xu Qi ‘an rode on the little mare, whipped her little buttocks, and rushed back to the Yamen.

After meeting up with the guards waiting at the Yamen, Xu Qi ‘an entered the palace. He silently passed through the East Gate and arrived at the Imperial study.

Six thick red pillars supported the high dome, and there was no one behind the large desk covered with yellow silk.

Xu Qi ‘an waited in the quiet Imperial study for 15 minutes. Emperor Yuan jing, who was wearing a Taoist robe and had his black hair tied up with a Taoist hairpin, arrived late. He did not sit on his Dragon Throne. Instead, he stood in front of Xu Qi’ an and squinted his eyes, examining him.

........ This gaze was 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 hostility!

Emperor Yuan jing stopped in front of him and said to Yin Luo, “”Have you heard about the battle between du ‘e and Jian Zheng?”

“Your Majesty, I just saw it on the Imperial notice.” Xu Qi ‘an replied respectfully.

“Fights of magic are usually divided into literary and martial arts. Du ‘e and Jian Zheng are both rare masters in the world, they won’t fight personally, this is usually a matter between disciples.”

This was understandable. The elders would sit at the back and guide the disciples while the disciples would charge into the battle ... But what does this have to do with me?

Just as he was feeling puzzled, he heard Emperor Yuan jing say, “”Jian zhenggang is borrowing men from me, and I’m ordering you to fight!”

“......?”

Xu Qi ‘an raised his head and looked at Emperor Yuan jing in shock.

“What do you think?” Emperor Yuan jing stared at him.

Supervisor, you old man, what are you up to? Knowing that Shen Shu is in my body, you still want to send me to Buddhism ... Xu Qi ‘an immediately said, ” I’m weak and uneducated. I’m afraid I can’t do it. Your Majesty, please allow me to refuse.
