Chapter 344 Northbound

“Two reasons.”

Wei Yuan put down the tea in his hand and analyzed for his beloved Yin Gong, saying: ”The governor represents the court, and his power is so great that even if he is the King of Zhenbei, he is at most equal. His Majesty does not want to find a governor to clamp down on the King of Zhenbei, or mixed with selfishness, or for the sake of the war situation.

“Appointing a silver gong as the organizing officer would not be such a problem.”

Xu Qi’an frowned, “In that case, won’t my hands be tied in investigating the case?”

Wei Yuan laughed, ”Everyone scrambles for good errands, otherwise why would the court officials elect you? Blood Slaughter Three Thousand Li ……. If the King of Zhenbei lies about the military situation and tries to evade responsibility, it’s fine if the organizing officials don’t find out, but if they do.”

If you find out, you’ll be killed and silenced? Xu Qi’an’s heart fluttered.

“This is the second reason why the princes elected you.” Wei Yuan leisurely said.

This group of old silver coins ……… Wei Gong does not seem to be worried at all? Xu Qi’an hurriedly asked, “What should I do about it?”

He has his own ideas on this matter, but is also willing to listen to the views of the elders, and it is a good habit to take “advice”.

“False and secret investigations.”

Wei Yuan gave the Eight True Words and then said, “After you go to the north, remember to act not impulsively and try not to clash with the Zhenbei King’s men. Showing weakness to the enemy will relax their guard.

“If you can investigate in secret, definitely don’t do it openly. If you find evidence against King Zhenbei, hide it well and show it back in the capital. If you encounter an assassination, the probability is that King Zhenbei won’t do it himself, so I’ll have Yang Yan accompany you.

“Your own strength is not weak, and the Vajra Divine Skill has been realized in a small way, so you are not worried about this aspect instead.”

If the king of Zhenbei is personally involved, then I am afraid that the dispatch of more golden gongs will not help, although I do not know how strong the third grade martial artist is, but there is only one third grade in the whole court, while the fourth grade is bewilderingly ……… many Xu Qi an nodded and said:

“That’s what my humble servant thinks.”

In fact, he wasn’t afraid of being assassinated, what he feared was that the Zhenbei King himself would come down, and when that happened, he could only summon Monk Shenshu with everything he had. Against a third-grade martial artist, Monk Shenshu was bound to frantically ingest essence blood, inevitably killing innocent people, which was something Xu Qi’an did not wish to see.

And, afterward, they had to go far away from the world and could not return to the court. In that case, the man behind the curtain will be happy ……..

Wei Yuan continued, “The balance of which you grasp yourself, if the situation is not right, this case can stop. After returning to the capital, you will at most be held accountable.”

“I ………”

Xu Qi’an was about to say something when the words “blood slaughtered 3,000 miles” suddenly burst out in his mind.

“If this matter is true, I, I will not stop and turn a blind eye.” He whispered, and after finishing Xu Qi’an added another sentence:

“But I won’t be reckless, don’t worry Wei Gong.”

Wei Yuan looked at him for a long time, there was admiration and helplessness in his eyes, which finally turned into relief and said, “We will set off three days later, so prepare yourself during this time.”

…………

King Huai’s Mansion.

In the back garden, hundreds of flowers bloomed, bees buzzed and shook their wings, busy between the flowers. Colorful butterflies dance and chase and play.

The air was filled with a refreshing fragrance, and the veiled princess, holding a bamboo basket in her hand and dragging her long skirt, walked among the flowers.

In the bamboo basket lay a cluster of delicate flowers.

She leaned over and folded a flower, sniffing it at the end of her nose, her eyes curving up in delight.

In the middle of spring wearing a brocade palace dress of the Princess, the back curve is delicate, the ribbon outlines the waist of a handful of slender, shoulders and neck of the right proportion of good.

The pulled up green silk hangs down in wisps, and the slender neck is hidden, crystal white.

Just by looking at her back and physique, she was a stunning beauty, and such a woman, even if her features were not considered stunning, could still be regarded as a special object by men.

Wearing light armor, Chu Xianglong entered the back garden, his scales and armor clanging as he walked.

He stopped his steps, keeping a distance not too far away, and cupped his fists and said, “His Majesty has ordered that three days later, Your Highness has to travel to the Northern Realm with the investigation team, so please make preparations early.”

The Wangfei’s curved eyebrows gradually calmed down and grew cold, her showy fists clenched the flower branch, her knuckles whitened, and she said indifferently, “Is there anything else, if there’s nothing, then get lost.”

Chu Xianglong arched his hand and turned to leave.

…………..

Learning that he would be departing for the northern realm in three days, Xu Qi’an left the government office and rode a small mare back to his home, finding Li Miaozhen, who was sitting cross-legged and exhaling, and said:

“Can you accompany me to the Cloud Deer Academy?”

“No go.” Li Miaozhen refused with an iron heart.

Hey, this woman of yours is not at all delicate and soft, her personality is too strong …….. Xu Qi’an arched his hand, “There is something important.”

Li Miaozhen looked in with a pair of pool-like eyes and waited quietly for a follow-up.

“Remember that case you found? The great case of the blood slaughter of three thousand miles.” Xu Qi’an approached the room, took off his saber and placed it on the table, poured himself a glass of water and explained:

“The court has appointed me as the organizing officer to lead a mission to the North in three days to investigate this case thoroughly.”

Li Miaozhen instantly came into the spirit, changing from sitting cross-legged to sitting upright, and said, “I’ll go with you.”

Alas, the hallowed Heavenly Sect’s holy daughter is so anxious and righteous, I really don t know if it is a sin …….. Xu Qi’an mused, ”The court has its own rules, you are unofficial and cannot participate in this case.

“Tell you what, you can go ahead and we’ll meet up in the North, earth book contact.”

He had come to Li Miaozhen to talk about this matter in order to invite the Heavenly Sect’s Holy Maiden to participate, no, he didn’t even need to open his mouth to invite her, with Li Miaozhen’s cynical character, she would definitely take the initiative to ask for participation.

With a Taoist Fourth Grade in the shadows as a helper, the certainty of solving the case would be greatly increased.

“I have one more request.” Li Miaozhen said.

“Go ahead.”

“I’m going to be beside you when you investigate the case, and if I’m not present due to other matters, you’re going to talk to me carefully about the process afterwards, as well as your thoughts on solving the case.” Li Miaozhen had a serious expression.

She wants to follow me to learn how to solve crimes? Well, she’ll definitely have to be chivalrous in the future, and in the process she’ll have to root out the wicked and vindicate the wronged, so she’s eager to learn a little bit of deductive knowledge and criminal investigation skills. …….. Xu Qi’an agreed to her request, his face serious:

“Okay, one more thing.”

Li Miaozhen sat upright and assumed a listening posture.

“When you contact me with the ground book shard, remember to have the Golden Lotus Daoist shield the others.”

“……..” The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect gave him a blank stare.

The two of them immediately left the city, one galloping on horseback and the other stepping on a sword to fly.

When he arrived at Qing Yun Mountain, Xu Qi’an paid his respects to the three great scholars, and with an embarrassed look on his face, he said, “Oops, the scholar’s talent has been depleted recently, so how could he not come up with any good poems, a few teachers forgive me.”

The three great Confucian scholars wearing Confucian shirts and crowns looked at him calmly: “No harm done, something wrong?”

Xu Qi’an coughed and cheekily said, “The spell books gifted to me by Master Li and Master Zhang have already consumed most of them, so …….”

The “magic books” Li Mu Bai and Zhang Shen gifted him were mostly low-level spells, among which the qi lookout technique of the Heavenly Superintendent was the most popular.

This was because the great Confucian scholars did not have much stock of high level spells, which they had to use themselves. Moreover, at that time, Xu Qi’an was only in the Qi Practicing Realm, giving too powerful spells instead harmed him.

In the magic book, the most powerful skill was the “Words Follow the Law” burned by Li Mu Bai and Zhang Shen, a Confucian advanced skill. There were almost no advanced skills from other systems.

The three great scholars looked at him, and after a long time, Li Mubai said, “Recently, talent has dried up …….”

Zhang Shen: “Unwell ……..”

Chentai: “Heartbreaking …….”

Everyone who is willing to be whored out was an angel with broken wings in their previous life, and you three are obviously not …….. Xu Qi’an said, “Then I would like to ask the three teachers to help me burn the Taoist psychic spells.”

“Yes!” The three great scholars nodded.

Li Miaozhen frowned, “Psychic spells have to set up a spell formation.”

Zhang Shen waved his hand and said, “You just cast it and leave the rest to us.”

As he spoke, he took out a wordless brown-covered book and slowly ground it.

Seeing this, Li Miaozhen did not speak nonsense and took out the yin materials from the earth book fragments, setting up formations and casting the spells of the Dao Sect.

Inside the house, there was a gust of cloudy wind, as if he had stepped from mid-spring to mid-winter all of a sudden.

Zhang Shen lifted his pen and brushed and wrote on the books, and every time he put down his pen, it was accompanied by gusts of clear light.

The Soul Gathering Array didn’t summon the souls, which was justified, ghosts and demons couldn’t possibly exist in Qing Yun Mountain, and under the Vast and Righteous Qi, all the demons and ghosts would go up in smoke.

Zhang Shen stopped writing at the right time and said, “That’s fine, burned twelve sheets, is that enough?”

“Enough is enough …….”

Xu Qi’an nodded his head while lamenting that the Confucian system was really damn open, just like reading a book, what you read, you can write down, and what you write down, you can pass the pen, and write it down on paper.

“I wrote a few Confucian spells for you by the way, the aftermath is quite horrible, you must know it well, don’t use them until you have no choice.” Zhang Shen said in a deep voice.

Xu Qi’an gladly received the books and asked the doubts that had plagued himself for so long:

“The student doesn’t understand how a few teachers circumvented the backlash?”

The backlash of Confucian spells was so terrifying that if the Great Confucianists were unable to circumvent such a backlash, they simply couldn’t do a protracted battle.

In response to Xu Qi’an’s question, Zhang Shen laughed and said, “The fourth rank of Confucianism is called “gentleman”, and a gentleman nurtures the righteousness of the spirit, so that all evils will not be invaded.”

Hundred evils are invulnerable, which means that when you reach the gentleman realm, you can bounce back or be immune to spell backlash …….. Would this be too buggy. Xu Qi’an somewhat regretted that he had gone with the martial system.

A gentleman moving his mouth and using his mouth to defeat the enemy was his ideal picture.

Li Mu Bai added, “If the spell is applied to a certain party, then the party on which the spell is applied will suffer the backlash effect instead.”

This …….. Xu Qi’an’s pupils shrank, immensely glad that he hadn’t put his ideals into reality.

My Sable is in the Waist – The spell backlash from this statement could be shrinking the sun into a slit, or wire wrapping around the waist. Even ……. Hanging Blast.

In this way, Jiro s status in my heart has plummeted, and there is no use value ……. He inwardly flirted.

Saying goodbye to the three great scholars, he took Li Miaozhen and left the Cloud Deer Academy, walking down the steps towards the foot of the mountain.

“The Confucian system is indeed magical, in addition to the words that come out of the law, there is also the vast righteousness that prevents all evils from being invaded, similar to our Taoist Jindan. It can also record the spells of other systems ……..”

Li Miaozhen tsked and lamented, “I can imagine how powerful Confucianism was in its heyday back then, all things are inferior but only reading is high, and it’s only now that I’ve come to realize it, it’s a pity.”

“A pity indeed.”

A voice came from the front, an unkempt old man wearing an outdated Confucian shirt with disheveled white hair and a pair of eyes that were clear and bright, yet contained vicissitudes.

Li Miaozhen froze, before this man opened his mouth, he hadn’t even realized that he was standing there.

“The student has met the dean.” Xu Qi’an hurriedly saluted.

He, he is the dean of Cloud Deer Academy, the first person of Confucianism in the world …….. Li Miaozhen stood in awe.

Zhao Shou wore a smile and nodded as he said, “You’re going to the Northern Realm?”

Cloud deer academy really placed in the courtroom two and a half, when my playful words, a prophecy …….. Xu Qi’an let out a “hmm”, “Investigate the case.”

“Not afraid of offending the King of Zhenbei?” Zhao Shou pursued.

“Scared, but want to go see what’s going on.” Xu Qi’an said in a deep voice.

Zhao Shou stared at him for a few seconds, silently, and smiled as he stroked his beard, “Not to insult the great fortune you carry, Xu Qi’an, you must remember that the root of fortune is the word ‘human’, at least the fortune you carry is so.

“It is the people who have gathered the qi, and it is the living people who have gathered the qi.”

Xu Qi’an hurriedly looked at Li Miaozhen and realized that her face was as usual, scrutinizing Dean Zhao Shou as if she hadn’t heard the remark.

Dean shielded her hearing?

With this in mind, he suddenly saw Zhao Shou wave his sleeve and a book flew in and hovered in front of him.

“These are the major systems of spells I recorded when I traveled the world in my youth. Nowadays I no longer need these.”

Xu Qi’an gladly took it without opening it immediately, making a bow and saying, “Many thanks, Dean.”

By the time he straightened up, Zhao Shou was gone.

………….

Three days later, the capital city docks.

The northbound mission arrived at the pier and boarded the official ship.

This mission numbered two hundred, led by Xu Qi’an and Yang Yan, with four silver gongs and eight bronze gongs under them.

The Ministry of Justice sent a chief constable and twelve constables; the Du Chia Yuan sent two imperial officers and ten guards; the Da Lisi sent a temple minister and twelve guards and attendants.

and an army of one hundred forbidden men, which was the configuration of the governor’s travels.

The rest of them are all Chu Xianglong’s men.

It was not until just now that Xu Qi’an realized that Chu Xianglong was actually among the envoys, traveling together to the Northern Realm.

In the government office, originally Chun, Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao also wanted to go north to travel with him, but they were refused.

This trip north, not necessarily encountered a major crisis, but once encountered, it is very dangerous. He did not want the three to be involved in danger, after all, the night watchman Yamen, these three people and his deepest friendship.

On the pier, Xu New Year and Xu Second Uncle, representing the whole family, came to see Xu Dalang off.

There were also the green-shirted swordsman Chu Yuanzhen, No. 6 Hengyuan, and the Heavenly Sect’s Holy Maiden Li Miaozhen.

“Get home safe.”

Uncle Xu patted his nephew’s shoulder, which was the only thing he asked for.

Chu Yuanjian quietly handed over a talisman sword and transmitted his voice, “The State Master entrusted me to gift it to you.”

Master of the State?

I don’t know the State Master well, why did she send me this ……. With doubts, Xu Qi’an took the talisman sword and transmitted, “Thank the State Master for me.”

Hengyuan clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha’s name: “Lord Xu must return safely.”

Li Miaozhen gazed at him, her voice clear: “But do good deeds, don’t ask about your future.”

Secretly, he transmitted his voice, “I will go one step ahead and wait for you in the Northern Realm.”

Xu Qi’an wore a smile on his face, “But do good deeds, don’t ask about your future, well said.”

The transmission replied, “See you in the North.”

He boarded the ship and set sail.

Xu Qi’an stood on the deck and looked out, his eyes skimming over the crowd to see a familiar trio standing in the distance, respectively Yang Qianyue who was staring at him with the back of her head.

Chu Caiwei who made a trumpet with her hands and shouted delicately.

As well as Jonguri who silently waved as a goodbye.

What are you doing here? It feels like the crises you encountered on your way back to the Si Tian Supervisor from the pier may be more than the dangers I encountered all the way north ………. Xu Qi’an was half worried and half emotional.
