Chapter 56: The Core of the Plan (Thanks to “Salted Fish Don’t Want to Talk”)

The maids boiled hot water, Xu Qi’an hardened himself and bathed under the service of their small hands, and when the clothes came off piece by piece, what was displayed in the eyes of the two little maids was a long, fit and masculine body.

Smooth, full muscular lines and inner strength exude the charisma of a strong man.

Served many, many great officials bathing. There are big bellied ones, skinny ones, and muscular ones ….. They had seen too few bodies as well-proportioned and fit as Mr. Yang’s, yet not lacking in explosions.

This was the divine difference conferred by the peak of the Refined Essence Realm, the body was in the most suitable state for fighting, there was no flab, and the muscles were not allowed to expand too much to affect flexibility.

When Xu Qi’an came to the bedside wearing only a pair of lined pants and bare-breasted, the Hua Kui Niang, who was draped in a light gauze coat and sitting duck on the brocade collapse, was instantly mesmerized and gazed at Xu Qi’an’s pectoral and abdominal muscles in fascination.

The maids consciously withdrew from the master bedroom, Xu Qi’an lifted the brocade quilt embroidered with mandarin ducks, and just drilled in, Fuxiang stuck over, hooked her hands around his neck, her plump and delicate body hanging on him, and puffed her breath like orchids in Xu Qi’an’s ear, saying in a delicate voice: “Officer.”

A fragrance drilled into his nostrils, and the honest Xu Qi’an, who never went to the hookah, had a serious face and tensed his body.

The flower girl was surprised for a moment and smiled daintily, “Could it be that the gentleman is untouched?”

Her body softened at the thought of the possibility.

No, I’ve experienced women in my previous life ….. I just haven’t slept with a stunning beauty like you ….. Xu Qi’an mused and pondered, saying, “Miss Floating Fragrance, have you ever heard of a divine skill?”

“What divine skill?”

“Three seconds on the pillow and you’re sound asleep.”

“…. Lol, don’t believe it.”

“Then stay away from me and I’ll show you.”

The flower girl smiled and backed away, just assuming that he was trying to play a fling.

Three Seconds Later ….

“Holler, holler.”

Fu Xiang pushed him, “Yang Gongzi ….”

“Holler Holler Holler ….”

Fuuka: “????”

……

During the night, Xu Qi’an awoke with a jolt. After a silent sigh, hearing the long breathing beside him and feeling the; satin smooth and soft petite body close to his own, he forced himself back to sleep with a great deal of determination.

The next day, at dawn, Xu Qi’an’s biological clock naturally awakened, noticing something heavy pressing down on his body, he opened his eyes to see that Hua Kui was sleeping soundly right next to him, with a long, glistening white leg resting on his waist, and his snow-white lotus root arm resting on his chest.

Xu Qi’an carefully removed her hands and feet, got up and got off the ground, quickly put on his clothes, and when he was arranging his clothes, he angrily realized that the silver tickets in his money bag were missing.

The only thing left in the money bag was a small mirror of luscious jade that was less than the size of a palm.

Xu Qi’an’s first thought was that the maid in the Shadow Plum Little Pavilion had stolen the silver ticket while he was asleep, which was not out of the realm of possibility.

Yang Ling is just a Xiucai, although the social status is not low (false), but what is the place of the Church Department, it is a government-run brothel, above the Ministry of Rites to support.

It’s just a showman, he stole the money and denied it, what can Xu Qi’an do?

The Churchwardens don’t care about things like reputation.

The Church Department does not care about reputation, but Miss Floating Fragrance cares ah, if this matter is spread out, which guests still dare to come to her to spend money ….. Xu Qi’an judged that the flower girl should be unaware of this, and that it was the maid who saw the money and couldn’t resist the temptation of the silver tickets.

While he chided himself for being careless and not keeping the silver ticket safe, he walked towards the bedside, intending to push Fu Xiang awake.

But right at this moment, as his eyes casually glanced at the mirror, Xu Qi’an’s face abruptly froze.

Originally clean jade mirror surface, vaguely more things, gaze carefully, is hidden several silver tickets.

The texture is light, like a painting carved into a mirror.

What?Xu Qi’an’s mind was lined with black question marks.

Why is my silver ticket in the mirror? It’s my hard-earned money …. Spit it out or I’ll smash you ….

He gripped the small jade mirror and shook it hard in a tilting motion.

“Clatter…” in the sound, the silver ticket appeared out of thin air, floating leisurely in mid-air for a moment, slowly landing on the ground.

In the silent room, Xu Qi’an held the mirror and didn’t speak for a long time.

So, this mirror is really a treasure? Is it because I, Emperor Ou, am blessed with great fortune, or did that Taoist priest deliberately give me the mirror?

If it was the latter, what was his purpose, and what made him gift the treasure to me and discover my inexplicable chi?

How is this possible, the Si Tian Supervisor s Cai Wei who is proficient in the art of looking at the qi did not find my special …. Taoist priest, I am completely unfamiliar with the Taoist system ah.

For a moment, he huffed toothily.

This inexplicable gift makes it difficult for people s hearts to be at ease …. Hiss, pick up the silver ticket first.

Xu Qi’an hid the jade mirror in his arms and the silver tickets in his money bag, keeping them separately. Then he quietly left the room and enjoyed his morning meal while being served by the maids.

“Doesn’t your son wait for his wife to wake up?” The little maid asked.

Normally, when a guest gets up, the maiden serving him will also get up with him, but this guest is a bit odd, actually sneaking out by himself.

No, no need, I am afraid that she will call me a beast …. Xu Qi’an said with a calm demeanor, “I’m in a hurry.”

…..

A few hours later, the Xu Mansion.

Xu New Year and Xu Rui Lao sat in the study, with steaming tea at hand, Xu Pingzhi was in high spirits and did not see any fatigue.

Xu Erlang’s demeanor was a bit shriveled.

Neither father nor son spoke, tacitly not mentioning last night’s incident, as if no one had ever been to the Churchyard.

The silence was a bit stiff until Xu Qi’an’s arrival broke the awkward aura between father and son.

“Why did you go for so long and just came back to take a bath, the Churchwardens can’t?” Uncle Xu raised his eyebrows and complained.

Xu New Year coughed, not wanting to hear his father talk more about the Department of Education, and said, “Any luck?”

Uncle Xu Er immediately stopped complaining and assumed a posture of listening attentively.

Xu Qi’an informs them of the news he received from Fu Xiang and reveals his plan.

“The crux of this question is, how did you kidnap that Marquis of Weiwu’s concubine daughter?” Xu New Year pointed straight to the heart of the matter, hitting the nail on the head:

“If we can’t address this link, this program is not going to work.”

Second Uncle Xu mused, “First send someone to keep an eye on her, then find an opportunity to strike… The commoner daughter of the Marquis of Weiwu will definitely have escorts following her when she travels, but there won’t be too many of them… after all, she’s not the first daughter. We can create chaos and then take the opportunity to kidnap someone.”

The two Xu Qi’an brothers listened, and in terms of experience in handling matters, Uncle Xu Er was more vocal.

“It’s just that if we do it during the day, it’s hard to kidnap someone in plain sight, and once we provoke the Imperial Sword Guards patrolling the city, we’ll be eating our own words instead. And at night, with the two of us, it’s impossible to break into the marquis’ residence at night.”

Xu Qi’an smiled mysteriously, “What if I can solve this problem?”

……

In the front hall of the Xu Mansion, the concierge, Old Zhang, was passing by the flower garden when he realized that a servant had fainted in the flower garden, and panicked, he went forward to check and found that he had only fainted.

Old Zhang shook the other party awake and asked, “Why did you faint here?”

The servant had a blank expression for a moment, seemingly remembering who he was and where he was, scratching his head in the face of Old Zhang’s inquiry:

“I was just boiling water for Oro, and he was bathing in the house, and I just remember Oro suddenly calling me into the house ….. And then I can’t remember.”

The old concierge Zhang scrutinized the servant for a moment, “How are you feeling?”

“A little headache.”

“Does your ass hurt?”

“…. It doesn’t hurt.”

Old Zhang and the servant looked at each other as if they were relieved.

…..

Si Tianjian, black eye circles more and more serious Song Qing, lying on the edge of the table, above the bottles and jars of messy objects.

Instead of doing his alchemical experiments today, he flung himself at the table and wrote furiously.

“Why are the fruits better after grafting? What subtle rules of heaven and earth are involved? If what is grafted is indeed superior, then if I graft a human and a horse together, the Da Feng will not need to worry about the scarcity of war horses.”

“Every warrior is a horse, capable of running long distances on his own as well as fighting valiantly, which will enhance the combat capability of the Dae Bong army ….”

The more he wrote, the more excited he became, and the more he glowed throughout.

At this moment, a white dress came in and shouted excitedly, “Senior Brother Song, the alchemy wizard Xu Qi’an is here and wants to see you.”

Alchemy Wizards was the term of endearment that the White Clothes of the Si Tian Supervisors had for Xu Qi’an.
