Chapter 573 – Five Letters (Request for Monthly Tickets)

Li Lingsu herself wanted to go out and was busy catching up, intending to follow Xu Qi’an out of the inn.

“Your appearance is too flashy.” Xu Qi’an raised his hand to make a reminder.

This damn charm of mine …….. Li Lingsu habitually muttered in her heart and suddenly choked, looking at Xu Qian’s back with some frustration.

“Elder, I haven’t collected the materials for disguise.”

Just as he finished speaking, he saw Xu Qian throw something over, and after probing his hand to receive it, he realized it was a brocade pouch embroidered with orchids.

The old sea king twitched his nose, unmistakably confirming that this was a woman’s personal belongings.

“Storage spells?”

Li Lingsu’s eyes lit up and her face showed joy.

As the Saint Son of the Heavenly Sect, he originally had two storage artifacts, one from a gift from his master’s sect and one fragment of the Earth Book.

The division’s storage artifacts were confiscated by the Eastern Sisters, and the fragment of the Earth Book was handed over to Li Miaochen, the division’s younger sister, who liked to meddle in other people’s business.

“Thank you, Senpai.”

Li Lingsu was overjoyed, knowing how important it was to have a storage magic weapon when walking in the jianghu.

But storage spells were too valuable, and even a Heavenly Sect Saint Son would have to eat a hangnail if he lost a storage spell.

Only warlocks can spawn this.

“There are draperies inside.” Xu Qi’an said faintly.

Li Lingsu took out the drapery hat from the brocade bag and put it on, meowing a glance at Xu Qian’s appearance in passing:

Xu Qian, which one is his true face?

“Senior, this is not your original face, right?” Li Ling Su tried in an affirmative tone.

In the past, he actually realized that Xu Qian, who was good at disguise, and his plain appearance, might not be his true face.

But he had no proof, and, besides, the Holy Son didn’t care about it.

Until the day before yesterday when he saw Luo Yu Heng and saw the true face of the first beauty of Dafeng, Li Lingsu could no longer turn a blind eye to the fact that he was now immensely looking forward to Xu Qian’s true face.

“Don’t probe my identity, it won’t do you any good.” Xu Qi’an spoke in a calm tone.

Is this a threat …….. Li Lingsu bristled, “Senior, I thought we were friends.”

Precisely because it is a friend, so I don t want you to know my identity, awkwardly use the soles of your feet to gouge out the two rooms and one hall ………. Xu Qi An muttered in his heart.

Recalling the Saint Son’s respectful behavior as a junior along the way, as well as his gesture of wearing dark circles under his eyes when he was weak in the kidneys, in the future, when his identity is exposed, the one who will die in the community will definitely be Li Lingsu.

The two of them walked casually down the street, and during the process, Xu Qi’an always held the fragment of the ground book, gathered in his sleeve.

Scouting his surroundings, he was able to probe immediately once a Dragon Qi Host appeared nearby.

Li Lingsu carried his hands behind his back and walked idly, obviously more confident than before.

This confidence did not come from charisma, but from the restoration of cultivation.

…………

Big Horn Field, former barracks of the garrison.

Ji Xuan welcomed a fourth-ranked secret agent in charge of the Yongzhou City.

“Your Excellency is a busy man.”

Ji Xuan held the tea and gently blew a sip, scrutinizing the secret agent wrapped in robes and wearing a hood.

Before this, the one who approached them was the fourth rank secret agent of Zhangzhou, and the reason for forcing people to do things in Qua land was that the secret agent of Yongzhou had matters to attend to and couldn’t find the time to deal with the Buddha Sect and Xu Qian’s affairs.

This secret agent let out a laugh and swept his gaze over Xu Yuanfang and Xu Yuanhuai on the other side of the room, saying, ”I am the ‘Chen’ of the thirteen Fourth Grade Secret Agents.

“As a matter of fact, the matter I’ve been investigating lately is somewhat related to Xu Qian.”

At those words, the siblings’ expressions changed slightly, and Xu Yuanhuai ground his teeth.

Ji Xuan’s eyes flashed with a brilliant light.

“Before Leizhou, Xu Qian once came to Yongzhou. This matter still has to start from the underground palace outside Yongzhou city ……..”

The Chen secret agent told Ji Xuan and the Xu family siblings in detail about the underground palace fiasco that day.

“Later, the Gongsun Family and the Dragon God Castle blocked the underground palace, preventing anyone from approaching. It was rumored that the Gongsun Family and the Dragon God Fort had joined forces to monopolize the treasures inside.

“I’ve secretly poked around a lot and found that a man named Xu Qian appeared the night the Gongsun family explored the underground palace.”

Ji Xuan narrowed his eyes and slowly said, “The Gongsun family has long known Xu Qian.”

Xu Yuanhuai gritted his teeth and said, “He dares to trick us, seventh brother, I’ll go to the Gongsun family now.”

Ji Xuan raised his hand, signaling for a moment’s peace, and asked, “What’s going on in the underground palace?”

Tatsumi paused for a few seconds, a slight note of fear in his voice:

“The reason I came to see you now is that I am exploring the underground palace. That is an ancient tomb made of greenoka stone, so old that it is unimaginable. An ancient corpse is sealed inside.”

Ancient corpse?

Ji Xuan frowned, “It’s dangerous?”

Tatsu Secret Agent nodded, “I’ve already reported it to the Palace Master, and his reply was not to mind his own business. In addition, the Palace Master said that it has cleared up a mystery for him.”

As to what the doubt was, the secret agent did not say, for he did not know.

The icy Xu Yuanfang frowned slightly, “The behavior of the Gongsun Family and the Dragon God Castle is not quite reasonable.”

With the style of the Jianghu forces, this kind of thing would definitely be pushed to the government to do, rather than spending a lot of manpower to blockade the mountain range where the underground palace was located by themselves.

In the entire Dafeng Jianghu, only the Martial Arts Alliance of Jianzhou was keen on maintaining order and being a jianghu enforcer.

“According to what I’ve inquired, it was Xu Qian who told them to do so.”

“Xu Qian?!” Xu Yuanhuai raised his eyebrows.

The secret agent nodded without further explanation.

He knew Xu Qian’s true identity, but did not intend to tell the siblings. Although the Palace Master hadn’t indicated any attitude towards the matter.

The reason why the secret agents tacitly kept their mouths shut was mainly due to two concerns, one: if the siblings held a soft spot for that big brother and were unhappy with their father’s tiger-like behavior, then telling them would only get in the way.

Second: If the siblings were hostile to Xu Qi’an, with that Xu Yinluo’s character, they would still be beheaded. And once the siblings suffered an accident, the spies would not be able to escape the blame.

Xu Yuanhuai immediately said, “I’ll go to the Gongsun family first.”

“No need!”

Ji Xuan waved his hand to stop Xu Yuanhuai’s impulsive behavior and analyzed, “Perhaps, this is a test for Xu Qian, if we go to the Gongsun family, he can determine quite a bit of information based on the feedback from this matter.”

“Most importantly, unless you can get a high monk from the Buddhist Sect to go along, you’re just sending him to his death. Don’t forget that he’s surrounded by Third Grade Warlocks. It’s not worth the risk for a Gongsun clan.”

As he was talking, Liu Hongmu twisted her small waist and walked in, her eyes brimming, saying, “The Gongsun family sent someone to notify them that at the Six Bo Gambling House, they found that kid.”

“That kid” is what the team used to describe the Dragon Qi host in Qingzhou.

The Gongsun family sent ……… Ji Xuan to ask, “Is there more detailed information.”

“No.”

“Go and collect it at once.”

The Tatsu Secret Agent immediately said, “Leave it to me, Yongzhou City is my territory.”

………..

On the pagoda of Gongsun Mountain Villa, a sparrow stood quietly, looking in the direction of the mountain road, motionless.

……….

On the other hand, a certain teahouse by the downtown area.

Xu Qi’an and Li Lingsu sat at the table, the former asking for an extra pot of wolfberry tea, the latter a proper Mao Jian.

But looking at Xu Qi’an’s wolfberry tea, Li Lingsu’s heart soured.

The two of them walked aimlessly for an hour with no luck, so Xu Qi’an found a teahouse to rest and check the letters sent by the fish in the pond.

Not picking out anything in particular, he picked up the first letter on the outermost shelf, addressed to Linn.

“Dog slave:

“Crown Prince brother has succeeded to the throne, really happy ah, he suffered for many years, finally ascended to the dragon chair, the whole person is full of energy it. He said that he would sweep away the disease and restore the Great Feng to its peak twenty years ago.

“Mother consort is not too happy because the crown prince’s brother does not agree to abolish the empress dowager on the grounds that Wei Yuan’s party is still around and the crown prince’s brother still needs them to do things. And Chief Minister Wang also disagrees with abolishing the empress dowager, at least not in recent years ………”

She finished the situation in the courtroom in a few sentences, and then gabbled about the current state of her life.

“I can walk sideways in the palace now it, I can leave the palace if I want to, in the past it was difficult for me to sneak out of the palace to see you, now there is no restriction, but you are no longer in the capital.

“Simu and Erlang Xu are engaged, I really envy her ……..”

The implication is pretty obvious.

“When will you return to the capital, this winter is very cold, remember to wear more clothes. When you see something fun, remember to buy it for me, put it away first and send it to me when you return to the capital. Damn dog slave, so long ago, not a single letter sent to me.

“The fourth prince is much more disheveled, there is no hope for him anymore, humph. Huaiqing is still the same as before, but the official position on her was taken off by the crown prince brother. Well, she used to be like, like …… I can’t remember what kind of official she was, anyway, she was repairing history.

“I could bully her hard right now and she wouldn’t dare fight back.”

Xu Qi’an was smiling, his brows gentle, and in his mind, the red skirt and goose egg face, the charming and affectionate beauty flashed by.

He proceeded to open the second letter, which was from Wyking.

The letter from the eldest daughter of the Emperor was much simpler, beginning with a polite greeting and then mentioning some of the situation in the court.

For the Crown Prince, oh no, Emperor Yongxing’s comment is: monkey.

Yongxing Emperor was treated like a monkey by his ministers. He was certainly passionate about trying to sweep away the accumulated evils in the officialdom and make Da Feng thrive, but he was not enough of a segment, and if he did not have the help of Wang Shoufu, as well as the assistance of the few loyal and righteous people, Da Feng might have turned out to be even worse.

Compared to Wonkyung and Jeanne d’Arc, this new ruler is still too young.

In addition to despising the Yongxing Emperor, Huaiqing was immensely worried about Da Bong’s future, even to the point of great impropriety:

Within two years, Taifong will have a life and death test.

Also, a small complaint about Prosperity’s insensitivity, always picking on her, but every time she was strongly suppressed.

The bias is joyful.

So who actually lied, Huaiqing or Lin’an? Xu Qi’an muttered, “My poor little nightclub queen.”

“Huaiqing’s political sense of smell is as sharp and scary as ever …….” He thought to himself.

The third letter is sent by Chu Caiwei, the letter is divided into two parts, the first part is Chu Caiwei and he chattered some nonsense, as well as ask some of the food around the Dabong.

It should be intended to gather information ahead of time and follow the recipe list in the future if you are traveling the world.

Then there was the matter of spouting off about a few oddball senior brothers. For example, Song Qing invented some horrible creations every now and then, and then was suppressed by Mr. Supervisor Zheng.

For example, Yang Qianyi pops up with bold ideas every now and then, and then is suppressed by Mr. Supervisor.

Another example is that Master Sun, who has been traveling outside in the clouds, has finally returned, but everyone doesn’t like to talk to him or listen to him.

In the days when Mr. Sun was at the Sijingtian Supervisory Bureau, the brothers and sisters carried pen, ink, paper and inkstone with them, and when they saw Mr. Sun, they handed over the paper and pen first without saying a word.

At one point she went to speak to the supervising teacher and found that there was also an extra set of pen, ink and paper on the gossip table.

Finally, she said she was excited and apprehensive about teaching her mentor next year as well.

But one thing was upsetting, the warlocks of the Szigetsu secretly gave her future masters a name: Eating Party.

The second half was from Jong Li, a brief and concise statement that he was fine and asking if he was safe.

“It’s a sunny day if you’re well, but Fifth Senior Sister, ah, as soon as you leave the Sitian Supervisory Authority, it’s a raging storm, lightning and thunder ………”

Xu Qi’an remembered the senior sister who wore plain robes and always walked with her head lowered, and his heart was filled with emotion.

Spinning around, he thought of Xu Yuanfang.

“If she wants to advance as well, I’m afraid she’ll have to face the same encounter as Senior Sister Zhong.”

The fourth letter was from Xu Ling Yue.

She said that she had become an outer disciple of the Human Sect, but she didn’t want to cultivate, so she almost never went to the Spirit Treasure View.

The letter was all homey.

“Since father became a thousand households, from time to time to buy some green oranges, I know that there must be a hidden meaning, but mother is still as usual not to take it seriously, big brother do you know what the reason is?”

Meizi, are you testing me? The second uncle is just a simple socializing, don t think too much. By the way, pay attention to whether Erlang often buys oranges, if it is the same as the second uncle, I suggest you secretly tell Wang Simu ……..

“Chu Caiwei came to the house a while ago to mix food and drink, and gave Mother a furnace of Resident Face Dan, and Mother ate it for half a decade, becoming more and more youthful and beautiful. But then it was stolen and eaten by Suzume and Lina.

“Mother isn’t going to have a daughter, chasing after Lina and Suzaku with a broom ………”

Auntie, they are just hungry …….. Xu Qi’an silently covered her face.

“The day before yesterday, Mrs. Wang invited me and Suzume to be guests in her house, the women of the Wang family regard themselves as very high, making me extremely apprehensive and afraid, big brother you know, the hooks and crosses in a big family, I have never been able to.

“Right, Suzume went to the Wang family’s private school, and within a few days, I heard that the Wang family’s teacher fell ill. Suzume said that the teacher has been ignoring her ever since.

“However, Mr. Wang’s family recommended her to be a companion in the palace, to listen to the tutor’s teaching along with the royal sons and daughters.”

Did that gentleman have a grudge against Tai Fu? This thought flashed through Xu Qi’an’s mind.

Imperial sons and daughters, meaning nephews and nieces of Huaiqing and Lin’an.

All nine of Emperor Yuan Jing’s royal sons had already started their own families and had heirs. Of the princesses, the Third Princess had married and had a son, and the other three had not yet left the palace.

At the end of the letter, Xu Ling Yue euphemistically expressed her longing for her big brother.

The last letter was from Jiro Xu.

The letter mentions his daily routine of serving in the imperial court, complains about the official culture, and worries about the empty treasury.

Xu Erlang said that he wrote to Emperor Yongxing, hoping that he would make a donation, so that the dignitaries would spit out some silver to relieve the people.

But it was dismissed by Emperor Yongxing.

What is the use of donations, in the end it is not the people’s money three or seven accounts, the gentry’s money as returned! Xu Qixin said.

“Recently, when I went to the Wang residence again, I found that the Wang family’s attitude towards me had changed dramatically. Upon reflection, it was only after Ling Yue went to the Wang family as a guest that the change occurred. I think this is because Ling Yue has touched the people of the Wang family with her gentleness. Do you think so, big brother?”

Jiro, that’s a shady thing to say!
