Chapter 245: Female Corpse

Xu Qi’an didn’t wait for Wei Yuan’s reply, but first waited for the Jin Gongs, a figure with a strong qi appearing on the seventh floor, two of whom were still old acquaintances.

Nangong Qianlong softened Zhang Kaitai.

“Wei Gong, are you alright.”

A sturdy and lanky golden gong, holding a purple and gold hammer, with big copper bell eyes scanning the surroundings as if he were an enemy.

“My humble servant and the others were derelict in their duties and did not even realize that there was an invasion by a foreign enemy, please forgive me, Lord Wei.”

Zhang Kaitai spoke while spreading his spiritual power to sense possible dangers and enemies.

Gradually, the experienced Golden Gongs sensed that something was wrong. First of all, with the foundation they had laid at the God Refining Realm, if there was a crisis around them, their spiritual senses would give feedback.

But not at all.

The entire Haoqi Building was calm and quiet, but it was the mandarins inside the building that were in a panic at the moment.

Secondly, if it was a strong enemy invasion and it could be concealed from their perception, then Wei Gong would definitely not be safe and sound right now.

Could it be true that, as the legend had it, there existed masters in the shadows around Wei Gong, guarding his well-being?

This speculation rose in the hearts of all the golden gongs, who did not associate Xu Qi’an, it is very simple, just now that roar, the strength of its Yuan Shen in the view of all the golden gongs may not be anything, but that the thick, it is really too amazing.

It was by no means something that a guy who had just entered the God Refining Realm could inspire.

At that moment, they heard Nangong Qianrou ask towards Xu Qi’an, “Were you the one who was up to no good just now.”

Nangong Qianlou knew that Xu Qi’an was not an ordinary God Refining Realm.

What the hell, I am not Ning Caichen …… Xu Qi An looked at Wei Yuan and saw him nodding, so he graciously admitted, “It was me, just now Wei Gong wanted to test the strength of my Yuan Spirit, so I just randomly roared.”

Inside the tea room, a brief silence fell.

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

After a long time, Zhang Kaitai said tentatively, “Xu Ningyan, you were promoted to the God Refining Realm in Yunzhou, right?”

As early as when the secret message was sent back to the capital from Jiang Lüzhong, they had learned that Xu Qi’an had advanced to the God Refining Realm, and at the time, Duke Wei was in an excellent mood when he spoke about it.

However, even so, he had only been promoted to the God Refining Realm for more than half a month, and the strong and pure Yuan Shen fluctuation just now shouldn’t be something that a God Refining Realm martial artist of this caliber should have.

This natural talent is really a bit amazing.

Thinking about this, the Jin Gongs looked at Xu Qi’an as if they were surveying strange objects.

“I suddenly understand why Jiang Luchong and Yang Yan, why they fought over him.” A golden gong muttered.

Out of the blue!

The golden gongs’ gaze grew hotter.

“You guys don’t misunderstand ……,” Xu Qi’an waved his hand, “I only promoted to the God Refining Realm at the last moment before I died.”

This ….. The golden gongs scrutinized him again, and after a short silence, they said in unison, “Wei Gong …..”

Wei Yuan shook his head, “Xu Qi’an is still under Yang Yan’s command, if any of you want it, find Yang Yan yourselves.”

“It’s a deal!”

In addition to Nangong Qianliu, the six golden gongs once again spoke in unison.

It doesn’t matter who I join, but isn’t Yang Jinluo too innocent ……..? Xu Qi’an prays that Yang Yan returns to the capital later, at least until the heat passes.

Imagine that Yang Jinluo, who worked hard outside to quell the rebellion and eliminate the bandits, came back to the capital from a long distance, and what greeted him was not cheering, but the fists of his colleagues. As well as knowing about this matter, Jiang Luchong’s back stabbing.

Zhang Kaitai walked to the lookout hall, looked out, and said helplessly, “The night watchmen and guards have all gathered downstairs.”

Wei Yuan said, “Disperse, this matter you know as long as, not allowed to spread out.”

“Yes!”

……….

When the guards and watchmen outside dispersed, Xu Qi’an slowly drank another cup of tea before excusing himself and leaving the Haoqi Building to return to the Spring Wind Hall.

Auntie and Xu Ling Yue sat at the table and waited as Xu Ling Yin curled up in her mother’s arms and fell asleep.

“Big brother, where did you go.” Xu Lingyue greeted her, her brows furrowed and her heart palpitating:

“Why was there thunder just now, Mother and Suzume were frightened.”

Xu Ling Yue was a sister with a heart of gold and some small darkness in her belly, and she had just been scared to death, but in front of her big brother, she had to maintain a perfect image.

Clever use of sisters and mothers.

“A bolt from the blue, well, it happens all the time.” Xu Qi’an pulled out a hundred taels silver ticket from his pocket and said, “The matter has been resolved, this is the compensation given by the Zhao family, you don’t have to worry about this matter.”

The aunt looked at the silver check in disbelief, “For me?”

Xu Qi’an nodded her head vigorously, “Auntie worked hard for the sake of the family, this is what Auntie deserves. It’s a pity that it’s only a hundred taels, after all, the backer behind the family is not small.”

The aunt took the silver ticket and looked at him, somewhat touched, and said in a low voice, “Ning Banquet ah, in fact, aunt just loves to whine, there are some unpleasant words, don’t take them to heart.”

“It’s all family.” Xu Qi’an said sincerely.

“Ah, yes, I have something to do tonight, I won’t be home.”

“Something’s wrong?” Auntie put away the silver ticket and said, “You came back from Yunzhou and haven’t rested at home for a day, what’s the matter?”

Xu Qi’an said, “Negotiate a big business deal, invest in two mountains, develop a valley, and invest in countless gold.”

“Big brother talking all nonsense, you haven’t returned to the mansion since last night, this night can’t be another fellow socializing.” Xu Ling Yue was a bit skeptical, and with a woman’s intuition, she asked:

“Father said Big Brother likes to go to the Churchyard.”

“Go go go.” The aunt spat at her, “Your big brother isn’t like that, Jiro fools around, your big brother doesn’t even fool around.”

“Then big brother swears with me that he has never been to the Department of Education.” Xu Lingyue pursed her lips, stubbornness in her surging eyes.

No, you are a sister, where is your qualification to question me …… Xu Qi An s face was serious and swore:

“I, Xu Qi’an, have never spent any silver in the Department of Education.”

Xu Ling Yue smiled sweetly, her eyes rippling.

“Ling Yue, you can also question Er Lang like this when you get home.” Xu Qi’an was unbalanced in his heart and egged on, “I believe Er Lang is just like me, and is also an honorable gentleman.”

“Of course Erlang won’t go to the Education Department.” Auntie was confident, thinking in her heart that when that guy Xu Pingzhi returned home at night, she would question him like this and see if he dared to swear.

Sending his aunt and sisters away, Xu Qi’an intended to go back to Qing Yun Hall to retrieve the gold medal, but he didn’t expect it to be returned.

“Lord Xu, the chief constable of the government office, Lv Qing, seeks an audience.” The official from Spring Wind Hall came in to report.

“Invite her into the hall.” Xu Qi’an twisted his head and went back into Chun’s office.

Not long after, sitting behind the table, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, as if he was chasing something, and immediately afterward, the well-built female constable crossed the threshold and entered the hall.

The moment she saw Xu Qi’an, Lu Qing, whose clear face was covered in surprise and excitement, froze violently and stared at him suspiciously.

Xu Qi’an was also sizing up his long-lost friend, her eyes were superb, wheat-colored skin, high nose, large eyes, small red mouth, and her cultivation seemed to have taken a step closer.

There was also more official authority in his body than before.

“Sheriff Lu, long time no see, how are you?” Xu Qi’an smiled and rose to greet him.

“Xu, Lord Xu?” Sheriff Lu stared at Xu Qi’an fiercely.

“I took the Deliverance Pill in Yunzhou, and that’s how I escaped death, but my appearance has also changed.” Xu Qi’an explained.

Lu Qing nodded and forced a smile, fished out the gold medal from his pocket and said, ”The constable of the government office spoke with me about the private school, so I made the decision to let Constable Zhu go back and personally return the gold medal to Lord Xu. By the way, I came to pay a visit.

“This little bit of thin air, Lord Xu will surely give it to me.”

As he spoke, Lu Qing’s showy eyes stared deathly at Xu Qi’an, and if there was any displeasure on his face, he himself would hastily apologize, return the gold medal and leave.

“The gold medal is unimportant,” Xu Qi’an threw the gold medal on the table and laughed, “We haven’t seen each other for a long time, let’s have a drink together tonight?”

Lu Qing shook her head and politely refused, “Lord Xu, I am a woman after all ……”

If you were a man, what I just said would be: go drink together at the Churchyard. Xu Qi’an muttered in his heart.

The two of them drank tea, chatting and forgetting the time, until the sound of the clapper came, Lu Qing suddenly came back from Xu Qi’an’s “beauty”, got up and clasped his fists:

“Then the little woman will take her leave.”

Xu Qi’an sent her to the entrance of the courthouse, looking at the slinky back of the policewoman, he couldn’t help but stroke his chin.

“Lu Qing seems to have some interest in me? Song Tingfeng said that she has never been married, although she belongs to the older leftover women in this era, but to me, a woman who is less than thirty is the real peak ah.

“Forget it, Lu Qing is a virtuous woman, different from the girls of the Church Department. The world of a virtuous woman isn’t something you can enter and leave whenever you want, you have to keep going in and out.”

This was something that Xu Qi’an definitely couldn’t do.

……….

In the setting sun, Xu Qi’an rode his horse slowly through the spacious streets of ancient times and entered the Department of the Church.

Fuka was sick, infected with wind-cold, and lay dazed and pale in bed.

Surprised to see Xu Qi’an come over, she braced herself to get up.

This made Xu Baijun feel guilty, pressing down on Floating Fragrance’s shoulders and blaming himself, “It’s my fault, I’m the one who manipulated the beauty.”

Floating Fragrance’s beautiful eyes were half-open and half-closed, drowsy, and she softly said, “The girls in the courtyard, Mr. Xu can pick them as he pleases, and they will serve Mr. Xu for my slave.”

In the bedroom, the three clean-cut maids, their eyes swished brightly.

Xu Qi’an shook his head and refused in a serious manner, “Your wife is infected with wind and cold, where would I be in the mood for pleasure? I’ll ferry the chi for you.”

After saying that, he held Floating Fragrance’s wrist and ferried in a thin stream-like strand of chi.

Qigong can dredge the veins, stimulate ** internal vitality, nourish the internal organs and multiply one’s resistance. District wind and cold, not to mention.

“Cough cough cough …..” Floating Fragrance coughed violently, her pretty face suffocating red.

A quarter of an hour later, she did look much better.

“Lang Xu, slave is much better.” Floating Fragrance’s eyes sparkled as she gazed with affection.

The three maids also showed joy.

My mother didn’t feel better even after drinking the medicine, but once Mr. Xu came, her complexion immediately improved, and it feels so good to have a man to rely on.

“Rest well, I’ll come back to see you tomorrow.” Xu Qi’an pinched her cheeks and left the Shadow Plum Small Pavilion.

After confirming that he was gone, Fuuka opened her eyes and said softly, “All of you go out, there’s no need to keep anyone in the room.”

The three maids left in response.

The bedroom door slowly closed, and Fuuka’s face, which had already improved, quickly disheveled.

A soft sigh echoed through the bedroom.

………..

Xu Qi’an twisted his head and went to the Green Pond Courtyard, where another Flower Leader, Ming Yan, lived.

Ming Yan Hua Kui is petite and delicate, a typical southern girl, and after the last time, the two of them said a number of heartfelt words.

Ming Yan was born in the south of the Yangtze River. When she was a young girl, she went to the capital with her father, who had been promoted to a higher position. Originally thought to be the beginning of prosperity, the result is ushered in the end of the broken.

The next year, her father was liquidated for standing on the wrong side, exiled for three thousand miles, and never heard from again, Ming Yan was also filled into the Department of the Church.

“Lord Xu!”

After the concierge’s boy passed on the word that Xu Qi’an had come to visit, the Flower Leader, dressed in a long, complicated light blue dress and precious headdress, flamboyantly dressed and brightly colored, greeted her with a great deal of surprise.

Upon seeing Xu Qi’an, his smile turned into consternation, almost thinking that he had recognized the wrong person.

“A day without seeing is like three autumns apart.” Xu Qi’an smiled and nodded: “The matter of the great change in appearance will be discussed later, I have not met with Lady Ming Yan for more than a month, as if we have been separated by three lifetimes and three worlds ……. Ah, so we’re in love for three lifetimes.”

Speak really good ……. Ming Yan Hua Kui’s eyes moistened with surprise, and her smile grew sweeter and more affectionate.

Hey, these irresponsible sweet words, I am getting more and more comfortable ……. Xu Qi’an was ashamed for a moment in his heart.

But places like the Department of Correctional Services are supposed to be the only place where old greaseballs can mix it up, and there’s no room for a straight man of steel to survive.

Ming Yan Hua Kui guided Xu Qi’an to his seat and said in a delicate voice, “Why didn’t Mr. Xu stay at the Shadow Plum Pavilion?”

Saying so, he carried the wine jug in one hand and gathered his sleeves in the other, pouring Xu Qi’an a cup of wine.

“Because I miss Lady Ming Yan.” Xu Qi’an replied sincerely.

Ming Yan Hua Kui joyfully twisted her head and ordered her maid, “Close the courtyard door, no tea round tonight.”

Smoothly snuggled in Xu Qi’an’s arms, angling up her bright and delicate face, gazing at Xu Qi’an in fascination, not seen for more than a month, Xu Qi’an’s appearance change can be described as heaven and earth.

If it was because of his talent before, then now, Ming Yan Hua Kui was somewhat greedy for his body.

Xu Qi’an spoke briefly and eloquently about what had happened in Yunzhou:

“……. At that time, eight thousand rebels had besieged the office of the Prefect of Yunzhou, and there were shadows on all sides, and the Lord Governor was trapped in the hall, his life hanging in the balance.

“I have no choice but to block the eight thousand rebels with one man and one sword; come one and I will kill one, come two and I will kill a pair. Who can cross the sword? I think that it is only me, Xu Qi’an.

“I hacked for a whole half hour without blinking an eye. It finally lasted until the reinforcements arrived.”

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

“Mr. Xu, didn’t you say that you would let slave offer you a dance.” Ming Yan beamed, unhappy and pouting.

“Then let’s have a Latin dance.”

Green Pond Courtyard, the bed of Ming Yan’s flower girl, rocked until the middle of the night.

……..

The next day, a refreshed Xu Qi’an left the Green Pond Courtyard and rode to the palace.

From a distance, he saw the little eunuch overseeing him standing not far from the palace gate, pacing anxiously back and forth.

“Yo, the young eunuch is extraordinarily polite today.”

Xu Qi’an sat on the back of his horse, smiling and flirting.

“Lord Xu, you’ve finally arrived.” The little eunuch sprinted up, saying as he walked, “Something’s wrong, something’s wrong, last night someone fished out a woman’s body in the well.”
