Chapter 450 – Identity Number One

A map of the Dragon Vein?

How could Protoan have such a book in his study? No, how could Protoan read such a book?

Xu Qi’an pupils as if frozen, dragon vein geomancy map, especially “dragon vein” two words, let him extremely sensitive.

As a graduate of the police academy and a veteran with many years of criminal investigation experience, this book alone made him instantly connect the dots.

The first thought that surfaces is the first: the number one of the earth book chat group is in a high position in the court, and he/she announced only some time ago that he/she is taking over the case of Hengyuan, which is related to the Dragon Vein ……….

This being in a high position is not necessarily an official position; a princess, too, is in a high position.

The second thought that surfaced after a few seconds was: no, Protoan doesn’t have the brains for this.

In the Earth Book chat group, although Number One liked to peep at the screen and was quiet, when he happened to participate in the conversation, he acted extremely wise, not losing out to Chu Yuanzhi.

How could Prosper have such wisdom when he was one of the Three Stooges of the Fishpond.

Moreover, if she really was number one, with my favor and unguarded mentality towards her, she would most likely be able to tell that I was number three. In that case, how could she have placed the Dragon Vein Geomancy Map on the desk brightly.

After a few more seconds, a third thought surfaced: was she hinting at her identity by doing this?

All sorts of thoughts exploded in his mind, Xu Qi’an was struck by lightning, his mood was complicated, on the one hand, he was constantly reasoning and guessing, on the other hand, he was unable to accept that Lin An was number one.

While Xu Qi’an was brainstorming, Lin’an stepped in a cheerful pace, jumping to the desk, her two small hands on the desktop, “snapping” to show that she couldn’t wait, smiling and urging:

“Where is the cursive script, quickly take it out and show it to the Palace, the Palace will teach you to recognize cursive script.”

Xu Qi’an looked straight at her, and after a few seconds, his face smiled as usual, “Wait a moment, humble servant will first go to the latrine.”

Without waiting for Lin An to respond, he left the study on his own, walked a ways outside, sought out a palace maid, and asked, “Where is the mansion’s outhouse?”

He actually knew that the Lin’an House, except for Lin’an’s boudoir which he had never been to, as well as the palace maid’s and eunuch’s rooms, he had visited all the other places.

But just because Xu Qi’an knew, it didn’t mean that Li Yuchun knew.

The palace maid led him to the outhouse and pointed to a certain small courtyard, “Lord Li, over there is the outhouse.”

“The thatched toilet of the Princess’s residence is even larger than an ordinary family’s courtyard.” Xu Qi’an lamented with a face of “marvel”.

This Li Yinluo is so vulgar …….. The little palace maid forced a smile and muttered in her heart.

Into the latrine, Xu Qi’an took out the “Confucian magic book”, tore off a page of the qi lookout technique, shaking his hand and lit it, two clear light burst out from his eyes, and then dissipated.

When the clear light had completely internalized, he exited the latrine and returned to Lin An’s study.

Xu Qi’an swept his face calmly and realized that the book on the desk, the Dragon Vein Geomancy Map, had been put away, and he casually asked, “Huh, Your Highness, where is that book from just now.”

Lin An also responded casually, “I put it away.”

Xu Qi’an smoothly picked up the conversation, revealing a different look, “Why is Your Highness interested in this kind of Feng Shui book?”

Lin An straightened her slender and supple waist, and with a small face, she said, “Talking books are just something I read in my spare time, and I like to delve into some cold knowledge the most. For example, uh, Feng Shui.”

She is lying ……… Xu Qi an keenly discerned Lin An s lie.

But he was still in a difficult position because he could not tell whether she was lying about “I love to learn” or “I have another purpose for reading Feng Shui”.

Why don’t we just forget about it?

Let’s keep this under wraps for now and wait for follow-up observations to determine her identity?

Having a person to suspect makes it much easier to launch an investigation afterward ………

That thought, shattered in the next second.

In his life, Lin An’s importance was shot to the forefront, and most importantly, this girl was one of the few people he could trust without reservation.

She might be a little stupid, a little naive, and not powerful enough to be able to do much for him.

But it was precisely because of the existence of such a person that Xu Qi’an had a home in this strange world, a harbor for his soul.

Advent, like his family, actually served as a kind of spiritual salvation for him.

Therefore, instead of secretly investigating Lin An, he chose to open the door with her.

Xu Qi’an stared at the other party’s dark and bright peach blossom eyes and said offhandedly, “I’ve recently heard of a treasure called the ‘Earth Book’, which is the Earth Sect’s magic treasure. Has Your Highness heard of it?”

Prosper cocked his head, shaking it in confusion.

“Never heard of it?” Xu Qi’an repeated the follow-up question as if it was important.

“No.” Advent spoke up.

As soon as she opened her mouth, the lookout synchronized to give a response that didn’t lie.

No lie, she, she is not number one, she is still the same stupid Lin An, it s so good ah ……… Xu Qi An is like a relief, inexplicably there is a kind of pleasurable feeling of physical and mental relaxation.

Whirling around, he was flooded with new doubts.

Lin An was not number one, and based on his own understanding of her, it was obvious that she was not a person who loved to read, so why would she choose a book that made him ten thousand times more sensitive to the Dragon Vein Geomancy Map at this juncture.

“Why are you reading this kind of shitty book.” Xu Qi’an asked.

“Didn’t I say it, I usually have been reading books for my studies.” Framed slapped his small hand on the desktop, his brows furrowing slightly as if he was displeased with Xu Qi’an’s skepticism.

She, lied ……… Xu Qi an couldn t help but want to cover her face.

A woman with a spring in her step will always show her perfect side in front of her favorite man, even if it’s a lie!

Considering Lin An’s face, Xu Qi An pressed down his curiosity, he had other ways to verify it, there was no rush, so he placed a stack of papers on the table and said:

“Your Highness, read to me.”

“Aren’t you going to be taught to read cursive?” Prosper blinked.

“Slowly, gradually.” He said casually.

“Oh!”

Lin An held the not thick but not thin paper, fixed his eyes on it, and immediately exclaimed, “This is the former Emperor’s Record of Residence? What are you doing copying the former emperor’s Record of Residence?”

Not only did I transcribe your grandfather s living record, I am also checking your father ……… Xu Qi an mysteriously said:

“I’m looking into some of King Huai’s secrets, although he’s dead, there are still secrets, well, exactly what they are, I’m not too sure right now, so I can’t explain them to you in detail. Your Highness, this is a secret between us, don’t reveal it.”

There was a deep meaning in this explanation of his, a girl of Lin An’s nature, if you don’t tell her, she will be unhappy, by revealing part of it appropriately and emphasizing that it is a secret between the two of them, she will be happy.

But she couldn’t reveal too much, although as a royal princess, she was still a little bit of a city girl, but in front of those old farts in the palace, she was ultimately too young, so she couldn’t say that she was checking up on Emperor Yuan Jing.

Linan’s stupidity is not low IQ, but too naive and innocent, so well protected in every way that it has only cultivated a slight amount of small-mindedness, which belongs to the category of normal human beings.

As expected, Lin An’s face blossomed into a smile and she pretended to be reserved, “Alright, this palace will reluctantly keep your secret for you.”

For the next hour, Lin An recited the contents of the late Emperor’s Record of Rising and Dormancy, and Xu Qi An sat on the sidelines and listened attentively, pouring water for her twice during that time, and each time he was rewarded with a framed sweet smile.

Xu Qi’an was able to hear, as he wished, the “discussion” between the Head of the Human Sect Dao, the Head of the Earth Sect Dao, and the late Emperor.

The late emperor once again asked the head of the Earth Sect Dao about the possibility of imperial monasticism.

The answer given by the Earth Sect’s Dao Head was the same as that of the Human Sect’s Dao Head: “Everlasting life is possible, but everlasting existence is not.”

Longevity here refers to prolonging life. It is the longevity that follows that is immortality.

After a long talk about the way to nourish the body, the late Emperor asked the Taoist head of the Earth Patriarch, “Hear, the Taoist One Breath Transforms the Three Ching, is it one of the three, or is it three of the three?”

The answer of the head of the Earth Sect Dao was, “Either one of the three, or three of the three, or one of the three.”

“Is that too argumentative?”

Xu Qi’an frowned and raised his hand to interrupt Lin’an, “Allow me to muse and ponder.”

The three are one, meaning that the three people who split off are actually the same person?

The three of three, on the other hand, means that they can also be three separate individuals?

What is the meaning of three for one again, which is a different meaning than three for one? The opposite?

“You may proceed.” He said.

Lin An nodded and continued to recite, to Xu Qi An’s disappointment, there was no subsequent record of one person and three people.

I also don t know whether the head of the earth zong dao did not explain, or the rising lang was too lazy to record it. Because it is impossible for the starting record to record every word that the emperor has said in a real way, if this is the case, then every starting record has a tendon anti-inflammatory ……..

He mentally spat.

“Ya, so the late emperor said that King Huai was the pillar of the township because of this matter ……..”

Framed suddenly said in surprise.

She happened to read a past story, the youthful Emperor Yuan Jing and the juvenile King Huai went to the hunting ground to hunt, encountered a ferocious bear warrior, at that time, the guards around them were seriously injured, at the critical moment, King Huai tore the bear warrior with his hands.

Upon hearing this, the late Emperor praised King Huai as a future pillar of the Zhen Guo.

As a martial artist, what is tearing a bear warrior ……… Xu Qi an disdainfully thought.

Framed continued, “But Father they can be really bold, the depths of the South Garden usually can’t go in, only when the Autumn Hunt is held, can they enter the depths of the South Garden. Because at that time, there are great inner experts to protect them, and they are not afraid of fierce beasts.”

………..

The last one-third of the late emperor’s life, there is no major event, as a Buddhist emperor, political affairs is not diligent nor lazy, life, but often engage in the selection of the draft, expanding the harem.

Of course, this is not a problem, after all, in this day and age, every man’s inner thoughts are the same as the old season.

However, in one’s later years, this problem remained unchanged, so the second half of the late Emperor’s Record of Rising and Dwelling often featured an elixir called Long Yang Pill.

The dragon yang here is not dragon yang in the conventional sense of the word, dragon, representing the true dragon, the son of heaven. Yang represents masculinity, virility.

Combined, it’s actually the same thing as the Six Flavors of the Earth pill.

When the framed read these contents, his face was inevitably embarrassed, after all, through the late emperor’s living record, he saw the privacy of his grandfather’s life. Of course, the emperor had no privacy, and the emperor himself would not care about such privacy.

This father and son are really absolute ah ……… Xu Qi an muttered in his heart.

One spends all day thinking about **.

One that puts a harem of high-quality, ripe women out of sight.

The late Emperor’s Rising Record was read out, and the investigation of this clue was finally over, Xu Qi’an had some regrets, and did not get too vital content.

Xu Qi’an collected the late Emperor’s Record of Residence and suddenly revealed a sure smile as he said:

“Your Highness, the Dragon Vein Geomancy Map involves feng shui, and this area of study is really a bit difficult, so we must find someone to discuss it. One person cannot study anything. Who does Your Highness discuss it with on a regular basis?”

He expected the framer to be a scum of the earth, so this statement was intentionally said with certainty, intending to swindle a bit.

Framing pretended that he knew what he was talking about in order to save face, then he would definitely answer along with his words. A similar experience, just as when studying, the girls like to talk about male stars, Xu Qi’an does not pay attention to the entertainment industry, and very much want to insert into the female classmates.

So pretend that you know what you’re talking about, but in reality you’ll just echo what the girls say and say something like, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see it the same way you do.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s something to explore with someone.” Framed eyes looked upward and said:

“I usually explore it with Wyking.”

Huaiqing …….. Xu Qi’an’s body swayed, barely able to stand still.

He took a deep breath, suppressed all his emotions, looked at Lin An and said, “Where did this book come from?”

“Wen Yuan Ge borrowed it.”

……… Xu Qi an whispered, “It s Huaiqing who let you borrow it, right?”

A flicker of panic flashed in the framed amorous eyes, and mumbling for a moment, he chose to confess, saying weakly, “You’re a good guesser.”

Xu Qi’an sat on his butt in the chair, his expression glowing wooden.

…………

Leaving Lin’an Mansion, Xu Qi’an’s mind was filled with question marks and exclamation points.

Number one is Huaiqing?

Number one is surprisingly Wyking!!!

Based on this judgment, he mentally reviewed the past details.

The First is mysterious, and has a high position of power in the court, and there are not many people attached to this mystery, but there will be no fewer.

If Lin An could fit, Huai Qing would be even more fine. Moreover, Huaiqing’s intelligence and urbanity do fit with number one.

“In all the big cases in the past, No. 1 showed the information that he was in a high position of power and had great authority, and I remember that the drowning of the crown prince in Sangpo five hundred years ago was revealed by No. 1, but all of you can likewise check the corresponding clues, and it does not therefore determine that No. 1 is Huaiqing …….. “

“The number one usually exhibits an attitude that is very much in defense of the court, for the number two Li Miaochen look less favorable, because the warrior violates the ban with his arms. This is equally in line with the gentlemen, can not make a judgment ……..”

“However, assuming for a moment that Number One is Huaiqing, then her move to offer to take charge of investigating the whereabouts of Hengyuan makes sense. Although the princes are able to enter the palace to meet the saint, they are usually only allowed to be in fixed places and are unable to walk freely around the palace or even the harem. Whereas if it was Huaiqing, the palace would be almost unimpeded.”

“She let framed go to Wen Yuan Ge to borrow the dragon vein Kanshi map, is out of caution, the same is also because framed this kind of school dregs, borrow what books will not attract people’s suspicion. But even so, you take my beloved filly …… no, beloved Linan as a tool man, I will still be angry.”

Xu Qi’an remembered more details, such as a time in the past when he and Lina had bragged in the group about tying up a beautiful princess from Da Bong to be a daughter-in-law for Lina’s brother.

At the time, Number One displayed an attitude of extreme displeasure.

“In addition, No. 1 if it is Huaiqing, then she definitely has known my identity for a long time, she is so smart that she can’t be fooled ………”

Xu Qi’an rode on the back of the horse, his expression once again wooden, vaguely permeated with the attitude that there was no point in living, such an attitude.

………….

Returning to the Xu Mansion, Auntie took her two daughters, as well as Lina and Li Miaozhen, out to listen to the music.

“Auntie is really a heartless twat, and only worried for the first few days of Erlang’s journey, and now she’s happy again, thinking she’s a little fairy ………”

Xu Qi’an spat at her, almost wanting to turn her head to the hook and listen to the song as well.

But he is really not in the mood today, is planning to take a bath, and then disguise away from the house, to go to “enjoy” a little kept outside the undead.

At that moment, a familiar palpitation surged through him, and he subconsciously touched the fragment of the Earth Book to check the transmission:

[1: There are clues to Hengyuan’s whereabouts, but I can’t continue to track it down on my own and need your help.]

……….

PS: By the way, keep an eye out for the Daibong girl group event.
