Chapter 230: The Spare Tots’ Reply (Added for ally “The Life of a Loser”)

So dark …. Where am I …. Who am I?

He thought in a daze, unable to remember who he was or where he was.

Woohoo …..

Knock Knock …..

Xu Qi’an heard the sound of trumpets and drums. Gradually, he heard other sounds, the mountainous shouts of killing, the deep and majestic yet disorganized sound of horses’ hooves, and the explosions, the sharp ringing of clashing blades.

Various voices intertwined, forming a clear picture in Xu Qi’an’s mind.

It’s the battlefield!

No sooner had he thought that than the darkness split before him and light penetrated in, and there was indeed a battlefield in his sight.

The black pressurized army rushed and killed like densely packed ants, and the high grade martial artists wreaked havoc in the battlefield like humans trampling on an ants’ nest.

Humans aren’t the only ones in this battlefield, there are two-story tall behemoths, dozens of meters long snakes, coiled in the sky raptors ….

There are monks sitting high in the sky chanting sutras; barbarians who are strong and powerful; armies of unrelenting corpses; rows and rows of artillery armies; and primus cavalry riding ferocious beasts …..

“What kind of battlefield is this? It’s too much, too many people have died.” Xu Qi’an thought blankly.

His gaze skimmed over the battlefield, over the army of dead corpses, over the artillerymen, and looked to the high sky behind the battlefield, where a group of flying beasts hung in the air.

A green coat stood proudly at the head of the beast, his hands behind his back, indifferently overlooking the battlefield where the fight was in full swing.

“Wei Yuan?!”

Xu Qi’an’s heart shook, suddenly remembering who he was, and it was this instant that the battlefield image collapsed, returning to boundless darkness.

Xu Qi’an opened her eyes and saw darkness still.

I go, so boring ….. He did not get up immediately, but concentrated on the fine senses, and then, he “saw” the dark cabin, saw the neatly arranged five coffins, saw the slow sailing of the official ship, saw the rippling canal.

This was the divine difference he had obtained after stepping into the God Refining Realm.

He didn’t know how other God Refining Realm martial artists were like, but anyway, Xu Qi’an’s spiritual power could act as eyes to a certain extent.

One day even if his titanium dog eyes went blind, he wouldn’t be scared at all.

“The dream I just saw …. No, it shouldn’t be a mere dream, how can a dream be this clear? What army of dead corpses, Buddhist monks …. I haven’t touched any of these, how could I dream about them?”

“Why was Wei Yuan in the dream? He still looks young …. At least the temples aren’t gray, my dad was so handsome when he was young, as handsome as me …..”

Xu Qi’an lay in the coffin, recalling the images he had seen in his dream, the mountains were filled with blackened armies, the number of participants in the battle was massive.

Multiple forces mingled.

Combined with Wei Yuan’s appearance and his deeds, Xu Qi’an immediately had a guess in his heart – the Battle of Shanhaiguan.

Wei Yuan’s deeds, the most famous is the Battle of Shanhai …… States mixed, the scale is huge, perfectly fit the history books record of the Battle of Shanhaiguan ….. Just why did I dream of the Battle of Shanhaiguan? Second uncle this weak chicken can survive, surely lying on the pile of corpses to play dead it ….. Xu Qi An thought in his heart and pushed open the coffin lid.

Fresh air rushed in and he took a deep breath, rolling over and sitting up, when suddenly a surprised voice came from the dimly lit cabin:

“You’re awake.”

Xu Qi an was shocked and trembled, and only then did he realize that there was a white clothed person sitting on his left side three meters away, with his back to him …… Well, the identity was revealed, Yang Qianyi.

This one was the only man that Xu Qi’an could recognize just by looking at his back.

There was no immediate response, and he mulled over the wording for a few seconds before saying, “Where are we?”

Yang Qianyi’s tone was quite light, showing that he was in an excellent mood, “On the way back to the capital, oh no, on the water.”

“The Yunzhou case is over?” Xu Qi’an’s face floated with joy, “Hey, this crap case is finally over, I finally don’t have to stay up all night exploding my liver.

“I died once, I don’t know if Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao are sad for me, probably even more sad that the five chances of white whoring are gone ….

“Hey, in the end, I still didn’t trick Su Su home as a paper man wife, I’m afraid Li Miaozhen wants to cut me to death, fortunately the old man died a step earlier, otherwise it’s still quite embarrassing ….”

Yang Qianyi listened patiently to his chatter.

“By the way, why are you on the ship as well?” Xu Qi’an asked.

…. Yang Qianfang thought about it and said: ”I was ordered by my master to come to Yunzhou to do business, and now that the matter is over, I naturally went back, and it just so happened that the night watchman sent your bones back to the capital, so I snuck up here.

“Afterwards, I realized that the knife wounds and arrow holes on your body were strangely repaired, so I expected that you didn’t die. Waiting for a decade, hey, really came to life.”

Yang Qianfeng said very plain, but in fact, the psychological course of far more than the tone of voice to ups and downs of the much more, learned that Xu Qi’an after the news of the death of the war, his heart finished finished, back to the capital after the teacher to suppress me at the bottom of the Stargazer building, never see the light of day.

Panic almost broke away from the division and ran away.

At the same time, I felt sorry for the hot and interesting kid, how did he die in the war, how could he think of nothing else to do, that he would trade his 20 years old life for an old man’s life.

Inspector Zhang is half a foot in the coffin.

He followed all the way, sneaked into the official ship, opened the coffin board of Xu Qi’an, I did not expect the dark flowers and a village, open the clouds and fog to see the sky. This kid’s body injuries were bizarrely recovered, heartbeat gradually recovered, actually is the weather of the veto.

So, Yang Qianfeng was happily guarding the coffin, and he didn’t even have time to take a shit.

Of course, these things could not be known to Xu Qi’an.

….. Did he uncover my coffin? How else would he know that my injuries were repaired ….. Why did he reveal my coffin for no reason ….. I always feel that he has some ulterior motives …. Xu Qi’an slandered in her heart, but a smile appeared on her face:

“What did Lord Supervisor send you to Yunzhou for?”

At that exact moment, Yang Qianyi asked, “How did you manage to come back from the dead?”

After the question, the two looked at each other and fell into silence.

A few seconds later, vainly, they tacitly digress again at the same time:

“It’s a nice day.”

“The wind is very boisterous today.”

Xu Qi’an and Yang Qianliang fell silent again.

It’s a little awkward …. Just as Xu Qi’an was thinking of digressing and chatting about something else, he suddenly realized that he was carrying four letters in his arms.

Whose letter?

The coffin was stored in the bilge, and only a faint light penetrated through the cracks in the deck.

The deck actually transmits light, this ship should be properly repaired ….. Xu Qi’an spat, casually opened the envelope, and then read it in the dim light.

And now his eyesight was such that he could already see in the dark without any obstacles.

After stepping into the God Refining Realm, all aspects of the body’s attributes were enhanced.

“Big brother:

Send back the letter, the family received. Mother and father are very happy, Suzume is also very happy, especially mother, I didn’t expect big brother to write her a letter, mother was so happy that she patted the table. Knowing that big brother is doing well out there, I am relieved.”

The handwriting is beautiful. It’s a letter from Reiyue’s sister.

Auntie is afraid that she is not slamming the table and scolding my late mother ….. Then have you been happy, little sister ….. Xu Qi’an’s heart floated Xu Ling Yue’s clear and elegant melon face, thinking of her slightly bowed head, shy and timid posture, he couldn’t help but tilt the corners of his mouth, Continue reading.

“Not long after you left the capital, Suzuyin was forced to go to school, and everything was organized by Second Brother. Now, Suzuyin can already recite the first nine words of the Three Character Classic, and when Father and Mother first learned of this, they nearly wept with joy.”

Suzume could actually memorize nine words? Xu Qi’an nearly wept with joy.

“But she seems to have been bullied, the jade bracelet that Mother bought for her, a jade bracelet worth ten taels, disappeared a few days ago. Her wrists have light bruises, obviously yanked off by someone hard.

“Suzume was stupid, and when she was asked who did it, she didn’t say anything, and didn’t take it seriously at all. Probably in her mind, nothing matters but the food.

“The spring festival was approaching, and father returned home late every day, or stayed out in the camp, and had no time to manage the affairs of the house. Mother didn’t dare to tell him, and went to Mr. Sokudo herself to question him, but he said he didn’t know, and that perhaps Suzumei had lost it herself. Mother was trembling with anger, but there was nothing she could do.

“If big brother was at home, surely this wouldn’t have happened. If the second brother was at home, surely he would have scolded the gentleman without a trace.

“But second brother has been very angry lately, I heard from dad that he froze half the night in the cold wind, and when he came home the next day to get the money and food, he wouldn’t talk to us. Second brother is so petty, it’s not big brother’s fault for forgetting to write to him, big brother is also very busy ah.”

Meizi, Jiro is at least your own brother, you are not elbowing out, you are even breasts to me …. Please keep it up …. When Xu Qi’an saw this, she nearly reached out to cover her mouth before she let herself laugh out loud.

What a shame I didn’t get to witness Jiro’s woeful appearance, Kukuku ….

“By the way, Mother said that after the beginning of spring, she is going to find a husband for me, Mother is so annoying, why doesn’t she marry herself. Suzuyin misses you and yells for big brother every day. I, I …. miss you too.”

What are you talking about? How can you remarry? Auntie was born a member of my Xu family and died a ghost of my Xu family. ….. Well, Big Brother misses you too.

After reading it, Xu Qi’an contentedly folded the letterhead and put it back into the envelope.

He glanced at Yang Qianyi, who still had his back to him, quiet as a wooden man.

“What are you looking at me for, where else could I be?” Yang Qianyue said without a good mood.

Xu Qi’an ignored him, lowered her head, and opened the second letter.

“Hsu Lang:

Farewell with the gentleman, has been two decades, thinking of the gentleman’s feelings, such as the fire cooking oil, more and more fiery. I’m all right in the Department of Education, is always sleepy, woke up to pick plum blossoms, walk around. I brewed a jar of plum blossom wine, looking forward to your return, raise a cup to drink together.”

Here’s the letter back from the flower girl.

“Occasionally, I will go out to accompany guests to drink a few cups and listen to their tall tales, in fact, my slave wants to hear news about you, but Yunzhou is miles away from the capital, so it’s not easy to transmit news.

“Those stinky men, who boast of being readers, are actually mostly drunkards, with mediocre talents, not as good as Mr. Xu. I often think that being able to meet Mr. Xu is the greatest gift from heaven.

“The other day, but the maid brought back a message, I heard that Xu Lang in Qingzhou newly composed a poem, by the Ziyang Jushi as the most precious, inscribed on the tablet, warning the world. The slave was honored and overjoyed.

“Mr. Xu, your slave misses you night and day.”

Xu Qi’an hemmed and hawed, carefully folding the letterhead and retrieving the envelope.

There are two more letters at the end, and he remembers the spares he kept: Chu Caiwei, Huaiqing, and Lin’an.

Clearly three people ah, oh no, three tire ah, how only two letters back.

Xu Qi’an was a bit angry, thinking who didn’t write me back? Is it because I’m not good enough at raising a fetus, or is it because this Sea King’s steel fork, isn’t inserted accurately enough?

He picked a letter at random and unfolded it to read:

“Dog slave:

When will the Yunzhou case be over? This palace is not thinking of you, it’s just that the spring festival is approaching, and many guards have gone home for the holidays, so there aren’t many available slaves around.”

In the first sentence of the opening post, a wave of bitchy, savage arrogance comes over me.

Will Your Highness still be short of guards …… Well, framing still remembered to write back to me, not bad not bad ….. Xu Qi’an continued to read on.

“Your invention of five-in-a-row chess has flourished in the hands of this palace, and everyone has praised me for my orchid heart, my intelligence, and even the nasty Huaiqing has been pleased with me, and has said to me privately that Lin’an’s intelligence is far superior to mine, and that Huaiqing is willing to pay tribute to him.

“But this kind of thing she certainly will not admit it, I casually tell you a word, you do not remember in your heart, Huaiqing after all is the princess, leave her a few thin face.

“This palace will not take advantage of you, the spring festival is approaching, father sent me some gold, silver, jade, silk jewelry. When you come back, feel free to go to this palace treasury to pick a few pieces.”

Hahaha, Linan this stupid girl, I coaxed her that the second uncle in order for me to practice martial arts, around the debt, the days are difficult, she even took it seriously, changing ways to send me silver, too damn naive it ……. Please continue to keep ah.

Xu Qi’an smiled happily.

“What’s the deal with that chicken essence, wasn’t it invented by you? Why the outside are rumors, said it is Si Tian Supervisor Chu Caiwei invented. This Palace is angry to death, ran the Secretary for Heaven’s Supervision made a scene.

“The white clothes of the Secretary of Heaven’s Supervisor didn’t dare to take a shot at me, but even ran to Father to complain, and this Palace was severely stigmatized by Father. When you return, this palace will take you back to seek justice.”

Er ….. Actually, Chicken Essence was really made by Caiwei, I was just giving a thought. Well, she’s going to use the chicken essence to coalesce the Alchemist’s bit, something that was already known to me.

Xu Qi’an was a little touched that framing was still very protective.

He slipped the letter from Proctor back into the envelope, took a deep breath, and opened the last letter.

Huaiqing and Caiwei, we’ll see who’s the traitor between you two now.

“Hsu tongluo

Yunzhou environment is complex, banditry has a long history, the Qi Party and the Witch God Cult since the secret planning for many years, I think in the cloud state must have accumulated not a small force.

“Remember to proceed with caution, even with a Fourth Grade Martial Artist in Jiang Luzhong, it’s not a sure thing. If you lock on to a target, be sure to apprehend it with a thunderous force, not giving the other party time to respond.

“I guess Wei Gong secretly layout, but most likely will not meet with you, perhaps Zhang governor knows, perhaps do not know. Although you solve cases like God, but the strength is limited, do not act alone.”

The letter is from Huaiqing.

Xu Qi’an has mixed feelings, both disappointment and joy, disappointed that the wide-eyed cute girl is a scum girl, in vain I fell in love and included her in the fish pond, and she is so desperate.

Joyfully, Wyvern didn’t become a scumbag and still had Ben’s gong in mind.

The heart of the hand is all meat, and in the face of such an ending, Xu Qi’an had mixed feelings.

“Huaiqing is really scary ah, the IQ is too high …… No, this is not just IQ, but also the analysis of the situation, the control of the human heart, she even grasps Wei Gong’s mind ….. Finished, it is easy to be caught cheating in the future.”

Princess Huaiqing still seems to be half of Wei Yuan’s disciple, it’s not surprising that she has this ability …. Xu Qi’an narrowed his eyes and continued reading back:

“A few days ago, Caiwei came to my palace garden to have a meal, chatting about you, she said that recently she was worrying about how to write back to you, because she doesn’t love to read, and she was afraid that writing badly would make you laugh.

“She also said: Xu Ningyan is really kind, sending me a red lotus petal from Qingzhou. Saying that I am as bright as the wind as the red lotus.

“When Caiwei spoke with this palace, the corners of her eyes were smiling ….. I then said to Caiwei: This Palace will write the letter back for you. She readily agreed.

“Hehe, Lord Xu is really suave, a flower is given to two people, the words are different, but also describes it appropriately.

“The palace is impressed.”

…… Xu Qi an s face was stagnant as he looked at the letter paper.

“What’s wrong with you?” Yang Qianyi asked.

“Turned over ……” Xu Baijun’s old face flushed, and he shamefully wanted to jump into the canal and swim back to White Emperor City.

Crap, forget Chu Caiwei is a young girl in love, she and Huaiqing relationship and good, and good girlfriends to share this kind of thing with no psychological barrier at all ah.

Huaiqing was already prejudiced against me, and he refused to see me when he left the capital, and now Caiwei girl s wave of stealing home …… Huaiqing must have labeled me as a scum, right? Xu Qi an bashful face red.

Xu person is also a person with a face ah, how can you let me have the face to go back to the capital ….. like this Oh, I’m dead. It’s okay then.

At the same time, he felt thankful, because the letters from the framed, floating incense and Ling Yue sisters were invisible to Huaiqing.

The latter two, needless to say, did not cross paths with Huaiqing, and although framing was her sister, the two were as potent as water and fire, and it was impossible to share this kind of boudoir secret message.

Showing off is even less likely, framing is even more naive (b*tchy), she’s a royal-born princess and wouldn’t be stupid enough to take a letter like that out and talk about it all over the place.

Fortunately, I know that Chu Caiwei is an elm brain, did not flirt with her, said some of the food along the way ….. I’m afraid that’s exactly what happened, Princess Huaiqing was not happy in her heart, but she still wrote to mention me. After all, what I wrote to her is love (licking) book, what I wrote to Caiwei is normal correspondence.

Hey, hey, can’t believe it Huaiqing, you think I’m on the second floor, but I’m actually on the fifth floor.

“Who wrote the letter?”

Seeing that Xu Qi’an had finally finished reading, Yang Qianyi opened her words again.

“A letter from a friend in the capital.” Xu Qi’an’s face did not change.

“It’s a match, right?” Yang Qianyi said.

Xu Qi’an was instantly alert: “You peeked at my letters?”

Yang Qianyi sneered, “I, Yang Qianyi, don’t care to do such sordid things.”

After all, it is a fourth grade warlock ….. Xu Qi’an nodded and said, “Then again, your family’s Caiwei senior sister is really an elm brain, to her age, it should also be a young girl in spring. I froze and couldn’t tease her, wrote to her, and she still …..”

Xu Qi’an let out a long sigh.

Yang Qianyi agreed, “Senior Sister Caiwei was indeed enlightened late, she only told Princess Huaiqing as an ordinary friend’s correspondence. It’s not completely unintentional to you, at least you are a very important friend in her heart.”

Xu Qi’an’s gaze suddenly sharpened, “How the hell do you know she told Huaiqing?”

“……” by Chien Fantasy Yang.

The Forced King didn’t say anything for a long time, knowing that he had been set up, and all of a sudden, he also experienced the sense of shame that Xu Qi’an had just felt.

Not only did you read my letter, you fucking glued it back together …..

“Forget it, seeing as you helped me catch Liang Youping, I won’t bother.” Xu Qi’an admonished:

“But you mustn’t tell anyone about the letter.”

The matter has come to this point, Yang Qianyi has seen it all, he can not turn back the clock, so he might as well pretend to be generous.

Yang Qianyi froze, “I didn’t help you guys catch Liang Youping.”

In the crack of the deck, a cold current pounced in and blew on Xu Qi’an’s neck.

He winced slowly, his sweaty hairs standing on end one by one, and even his voice carried a hint of trembling, “What did you say?”

……

The warm winter sun was high, and Nangong Qianrou arrived outside the palace city by car.

Parking the carriage, he threw the reins to the welcoming feathered guard, stooped to remove the wooden stool, opened the door of the carriage, and said:

“Righteous Father, it’s here.”

Dressed in a luxurious big green robe with gray temples, Wei Yuan drilled out of the carriage and stepped down on a wooden stool.

The two of them entered the palace city and marched towards the Imperial Study.

“Righteous Father, I heard that there was an 800-mile emergency this morning?” Nangong Qianrou asked.

The Dafeng intelligence levels are divided into 300-mile expedited, 400-mile expedited, 600-mile expedited, and the highest level of 800-mile expedited.

Among them, the 800-mile expedited intelligence was sent directly to the Cabinet, which forwarded it to the Emperor. Before it was sent to the Cabinet, no one was allowed to handle it except the postman who transmitted the information.

Failure to do so is considered treason.

Wei Yuan nodded his head with a grave face, and not long after the eight hundred miles of expedited paperwork was sent to the palace, His Majesty convened a small court meeting in the imperial study.

The 800-mile emergency is bound to be a big deal, I just don’t know from which state.

“What an eventful fall!” Wei Yuan sighed lightly, and after a pause, he added, “The rhinoceros armor that I asked you to prepare, how is the progress?”

“The materials have already been collected, just waiting to be taken to the Sitian Supervisor to be refined.” Nangong Qianrou’s sour tone.

The rhinoceros armor was the gift Wei Yuan was going to give to Xu Qi’an, the rhinoceros armor was invulnerable to swords and spears, and water and fire. If he then asked the alchemists and array masters of the Si Tian Supervisor to take action and refine it into a magic weapon.

That was a supreme treasure of unparalleled defense, which even a martial artist of the Fifth Grade Realm would never want to easily break through.

Nangong Qianlou knew Wei Yuan’s thoughts, he wanted to make up for Xu Qi’an’s final shortcoming, and protect this sapling that had yet to grow into a tree.

Approaching the Imperial Study Room, Nangong Qianrou was stopped by the forbidden army, and Wei Yuan went forward alone.

Wei Yuan crossed the threshold and entered the imperial study.

He casually swept his eyes at the group of ministers on either side of him, and his brows furrowed.

The ministers were looking at him in an obscure and inexplicable way.

Emperor Yuan Jing was also looking at Wei Yuan, but the old emperor’s mind was deep and did not show joy or anger.

“Your Majesty.” Wei Yuan made a bow and saluted, naturally entering the line and standing in his place.
