Nightwatcher Chapter 735

Published at 21st of April 2023 06:32:36 AM

Vertical! This official hall from three grades..... Honglu Temple Qing heart secretly scold, deeply took a breath, high voice way:

"My official, Liu Da, is here to welcome the Yunzhou mission."

After shouting several times, there was no response from the Yufeng boat.

After another quarter of an hour in the cold wind, Honglu Temple minister left helplessly in the curiosity of the common people.

The man on the boat is the master. He can't afford to wait, but he can't afford to welcome the Yunzhou mission into the capital. It's his dereliction of duty. All the princes and his majesty have to blame him.

"My Lord, please get in the car."

His subordinates raised the curtain of the carriage for him.

"What kind of car do you want to get on? Prepare horses for me!"

Honglu Temple minister scolded angrily. From the capital to the inner city, and then to the Imperial City, when can we arrive by carriage?

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

Honglu temple is subordinate to the Ministry of rites. Since Lizi in Yunzhou thinks that his official position is not enough, he can only find a bigger official.

Auditorium, in the hall.

The Minister of rites frowned

"Li Zi!

"This is to give the imperial court a bad impression."

The Minister of rites said in a deep voice:

"Let... Forget it, I'll follow you."

He originally wanted the Minister of rites to appear, but considering that from the official position, the Minister of rites was only half of that of Liu Da, the Minister of Honglu temple, so he decided to appear in person.

Honglu Siqing was relieved. As he went out with the Minister of rites, he said:

"Please, Lord Shangshu."

The Minister of rites was too old to ride a horse. They changed carriages and galloped all the way to the city gate.

Half an hour later, the carriage went through the gate. The Minister of rites opened the door and saw the huge wooden boat beside the official road.

The carriage stopped by the wooden boat, and the Minister of rites said in a high voice:

"I'm the Minister of rites. I'm here to welcome the Yunzhou mission."

In a moment, a bodyguard emerged from the side of the boat, looking proud

"My son said that your status is not enough."

The Minister of rites' face sank and his anger was suppressed

"Go back and ask your son what happened before he went to Beijing."

The guard didn't move. He raised his chin

"The ninth son said that he wanted the prince to welcome him, the first assistant to accompany him, and there was no lack of rites and music. If he couldn't, he would have said earlier that he wanted to go back home and tell the 150000 soldiers in Yunzhou that Dafeng didn't want to talk about peace. "

"It's not in line with the etiquette. Let your nine childe come out and talk." The Minister of rites said in a high voice.

The guard shrunk his head.

The Minister of rites's forehead beat, took a deep breath, and recovered calm.

He immediately looked at Honglu Siqing beside him and said:

"Send for your majesty."

On the Yufeng boat, in the simple room, Ji Yuan sat at the table, peeling oranges with her long white hands, and putting the silver bone fan on hand.

"Nine elder brother, is this giving big Feng imperial court a down horse prestige?"

Xu Yuanhuai stood by the window and listened to the conversation clearly.

"Smart!" Ji Yuan praised, then shook his head

"But not smart enough."

Xu Yuanhuai frowned.

Ji Yuan looks at Xu yuanshuang, who is sitting on the chair and reading quietly, and says with a smile:

"What do you think of yuanshuang?"

Xu yuanshuang didn't lift her head and said faintly:

"It's just testing the bottom line."

"Look, look..." Ji Yuan said with a smile

"Yuanshuang is still smart, Yuanhuai. Since we landed outside the capital, the negotiation has already started. We don't have to sit on the negotiation table, do you understand?"

Seeing that Xu Yuanhuai seemed unconvinced, Ji Yuan said while eating an orange:

"You have to know where the bottom line of the little emperor is. Only when you enter the Jinluan Hall tomorrow can you grasp his three inches."

Xu yuanshuang frowned

"Emperor Yongxing may not eat you."

Ji Yuan picked up the silver bone folding fan, unfolded it, stuck it flat on her chest, and said with a smile:

"It's also a test. Try the level of the little emperor."

He was not as old as emperor Yongxing, but with a look down tone.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, I suddenly heard someone outside saying in a high voice:

"Prince Yan and Qian Shoufu came to welcome the Yunzhou mission."

With a Shua, Ji Yuan unfolded the small silver bone fan and put it flat on her chest, shaking her head and laughing

"There is such an emperor. Why should he be so worried?"

..........

Luxury "Welcome Team" into the city, along the way, the people around to point.

"This is the flag of Yunzhou. So Qingzhou is really lost. What the court said a few days ago is true?"

The literate among the common people recognized the Yunzhou flag in the regiment, which was embroidered with white clouds on the yellow background, and the red line was made into a big "cloud" character.

Rumors in the capital are best controlled. Ordinary people only dare to say it in private, and dare not discuss in public such as teahouses and brothels about the loss of Qingzhou, the death of the prison and the decision of the imperial court to negotiate peace.

At this time, when I saw the Yunzhou mission entering Beijing, my emotions immediately rebounded and I stood on the street talking loudly.

"It's just a rebellious party in Yunzhou. It's coming to the capital to show off its power."

"Even Xu Yinluo can't defend Qingzhou."

In the carriage, Ji Yuan heard this and opened the curtain.

"It's widely spread among the people that Xu Qi'an alone blocked 8000 rebels in Yunzhou, and killed 200000 troops of wushenjiao with one person and one knife at yuyangguan. As much hope as disappointment. "

Ji Yuan tut tut repeatedly said: "at the beginning, our brothers and sisters heard about Xu Qi'an's deeds in the Central Plains one after another. They were not angry. They thought that he had just encroached on the Qi luck that originally belonged to us.

"Now it's really Fengshui's turn. You say, how will the people talk about the imperial court and the Xu Yinluo they love when the peace talks spread?"

Xu yuanshuang is silent for a moment and stares at him

"No wonder you make such a big fuss."

Ji Yuan "pa" of open folding fan, slightly fan, smile but not language.

...........

palace.

In the imperial study, Emperor Yongxing was relieved when he heard the eunuch's report and learned that the Yunzhou mission had stayed at the post station.

He stopped rambling and returned to his gilt chair.

Before long, Zhao XuanZhen ran in from the outside and said in a high voice:

"Your Majesty, Xu Yinluo and his royal highness Lin'an are here to see you."

What did he come for?... emperor Yongxing frowned and said:

"Ask him in."

Zhao XuanZhen retreats. A few minutes later, he leads Xu Qi'an in green and Lin'an in red to cross the threshold and enter the imperial study.

A couple.

Yongxing emperor saw Lin'an face shallow smile, heavy heart slightly relaxed.

He then looked at Xu Qi'an and said with a smile:

"Xu Yinluo has finally returned to Beijing. Here comes a seat to see tea."

Xu Qi'an waved his hand

"No need.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to make peace? Why did the rebels choose to make peace at this time?

"I just want to take the opportunity to squeeze the court and exhaust the last breath of the court. If peace is negotiated, there is really no chance of winning. "

The smile on emperor Yongxing's face slowly disappeared

"What does Xu Yinluo think? Make you commander in chief of Yongzhou and fight to the death with the rebels in Yunzhou?

"Does Xu Yinluo have the confidence to win? I know that Xu Yinluo's accomplishments are excellent and he is a master of martial arts. But what can you do if even the jailer dies in their hands? "

Xu Qian said:

"Your Majesty, if you can trust me, I will go to the battlefield with you and burn the jade with the Yunzhou army."

"But I don't want to!" Emperor Yongxing seemed to lose patience and suddenly accentuated his voice

"Peace negotiation is the only hope. As long as we can survive the severe winter and wait for Spring Festival, Dafeng will naturally get better. Why do you have to burn jade and stone with the rebels in Yunzhou at this time? "

Xu Qi'an didn't say any more and turned around and left.

Emperor Yongxing is now determined to seek peace and stop fighting. It is useless to persuade him, so there is no need to persuade him.

"Dog slave..."

Lin'an chased after him for a few steps. Then he walked back to Emperor Yongxing and said in a loud voice:

"Brother emperor, why can't you try to believe him?"

Emperor Yongxing shook his head and sneered

"Believe him? Believe in him, Xu Qi'an, and Dafeng will be saved?

"The enemy that the prison can't deal with, rely on his ability to turn the tide?"

Lin'an airway:

"You are afraid of death."

"You......" emperor Yongxing was furious and raised his hand to fight.

Lin'an stares at him with red eyes.

"Go away, go away!"

Emperor Yongxing pointed to the door and roared.

...........

One: the Yunzhou mission has entered Beijing, with great publicity

In the local book chat group, Huaiqing told the details of today's Yunzhou mission to Beijing.

[4] he is trying to find out the bottom line of emperor Yongxing. Alas, before we met, we found out the bottom line. It's not the naked intention of inviting people to the city in such a hurry

Chu Yuan's mind is keen, and he guesses the motive of Yunzhou mission.

[2: Emperor Yongxing, the dog emperor, is not even as good as Yuanjing. Who is the leader of the team

Li Miao's teeth are itchy.

He was not only angry with the Yunzhou mission, but also angry with emperor Yongxing for being timid and afraid of things.

[1: the ninth son of Qianlong city leader, Ji Yuan, lives in the inner city post station. He is protected by both internal and external forces and has two golden gongs

[2] is this because Xu Qi'an is afraid to kill people? He should go back to Beijing

One: he's with me

Die... Li Miaozhen gnashes her teeth.

The Imperial City, Huaiqing house.

In the spacious and elegant inner hall, the long princess in the plum colored palace skirt put down the fragments of the book in her hand and picked it from the corner of her mouth.

She looked at the man opposite and whispered:

"The current situation is different from that of calling for donations. If you put a knife around Yongxing's neck, he will not give in.

"The same is true of all the officials. Today, more than 70% of the officials in Beijing agree to negotiate peace. This is the general trend."

Xu Qi'an, who just came out of the palace, nodded slowly

"Zhao Shou said that in order to revitalize the current situation, the problem of Dafeng's money and food must be solved.

"In fact, what he really wants to say is that if I want to fight with Xu Pingfeng and the rebels in Yunzhou, the imperial court must support me unconditionally and not delay me."

Now, Yongxing is holding him back.

Huaiqing was silent for a long time

"He's really weak."

Xu Qi'an waved his hand

"If you don't talk about him, what can I do for you?"

As soon as his front foot left the palace, his back foot was invited by Huaiqing's bodyguard, and the other side was just outside the palace.

Huaiqing pondered for a moment

"Some time ago, you said that there are only three ways to recover Dafeng's present decline. First, the number of extraordinary strong must be equal; 2： Solving the problem of money and food; 3： Revive Wei Gong. "

Xu Qian listened quietly and nodded.

Huaiqing takes a deep breath

"You've already done the work of resurrecting Duke Wei. You'll know when it comes to the Spring Festival.

"It's hard to solve the problem of money and food, but you just said that what you need more is a king who is willing to fight with you and a court who is willing to gamble on the country's fortune."

Xu Qi'an said slowly:

"So?"

Huaiqing's eyes, like autumn water, gazed at him

"Force Yongxing to abdicate!"

Xu Qi'an had expected and was not surprised. He shook his head

"This will only accelerate the demise of the imperial court. I know you want to support Prince Yan, but his qualifications, status and influence are not enough.

"In the peaceful and prosperous times, it might be OK, but now people are in a panic. If I do this act again, I will push people to Yunzhou and force them to flee."

If he wants to subdue everything by force at this juncture, he can, but others will turn to Yunzhou.

Never forget that Yunzhou is also a royal family.

Huaiqing youyou Road:

"Brother Liuhuang has no qualifications, no influence, but I have."

Xu Qian was stunned.

He carefully and repeatedly looked at the beauty in front of him.

Huaiqing is fearless and looks at him

"The former Wei party is all my people. Besides, I have also attracted many officials from the central government. If we want to combine them, it is the largest party in the court.

"As for Wang Dang, we need Xu Yinluo's help."

Xu Qian gazed at her for a long time and sighed

"Your Highness, I have noticed that you are an ordinary woman, but I still didn't expect that you have cultivated such a scale of power unconsciously.

"Anything else?"

Now that the words are open, Huaiqing does not hide:

"There are my men in the five battalions of the forbidden army and the twelve guards of the capital."

No wonder she can send experts to gather refugees, and her power is far more terrifying than I thought

"What other cards do you have?"

Huaiqing took a sip from his cup

"Mr. Xu has collected five vital dragon Qi, one of which is also in the hands of the Yunzhou rebels, and the remaining three are with me."

"What?" Xu Qian took out his ear and suspected that he had heard wrong

"How did you do that?"

Huaiqing said frankly:

"The dark son of Duke Wei is in my hands. Before he went out on that day, he personally handed over the watchman's dark sub organization to me. "

No wonder, no wonder Liu Hong, the censor of zuodu, said that he didn't know that he had not taken over the dark son left by Duke Wei. The information about dark son had already disappeared in the document library of the watchman's Yamen..... It turned out that Duke Wei gave it to Huaiqing..... Xu Qi'an, who solved a pending case, closed his eyes and sighed in his heart:

It's not my own son.

No, as expected, the son I picked up is still inferior to the daughter of my first love.

Huaiqing didn't know so much about his inner drama. He continued:

"If we can accommodate the dragon's spirit, we will be blessed.

"I rely on the Dragon Spirit to win over the ministers of the imperial court and the experts in the army. I get twice the result with half the effort."

Xu Qian showed a complicated smile

"Your Highness has been planning all this for a long time. After Yuanjing's death, you see hope, so you secretly deploy and step by step. Wait for the chance to force Yongxing to the throne. "

Huaiqing nodded slightly

"From your life experience in the heaven and earth society, point out the existence of the Yunzhou rebellion party; From the fall of the former Emperor, the Dragon Qi collapsed; I knew Yongxing's throne would not be long.

"In such a big mess, domestic and foreign troubles, if you want to stay on the throne and promote innovation, you must have great courage.

"But Yongxing is too mediocre. He may be a good king in a peaceful and prosperous time. If he was born in a troubled time, he would bring disaster to the country and the people."

You are the real "obscene development". Compared with you, I don't want too much waves..... Xu Qi'an muttered in his heart that he couldn't disagree with Huaiqing's words.

"How can you guarantee that Prince Yan will do better than Yongxing?"

"It's the palace's natural way."

"OK... Tell me your detailed plan."

Until dusk, Xu Qi'an left Huaiqing house.

...........

After returning to Si Tianjian and visiting sun Xuanji, Xu Qian goes to the guest room on the fourth floor, pushes the door and enters the warm room. Mu Nanzhi combs in the mirror.

Bai Ji curled up in her bed and slept soundly.

She seems to have just bathed, her hair is wet, and her body is fragrant.

"I bought you some peach blossom pastry. I remember you loved it."

Xu Qi'an put a bag of pastries wrapped in butter paper beside the dresser.

Mu Nanzhi didn't care and asked

"Where have you been?"

She sniffed quietly, smelling an imperceptible female fragrance on him.

You think a pack of pastries will kill her?

Sitting by the bed, Xu Qi'an took off his boots and said:

"Today, the peace negotiation mission of Yunzhou went to Beijing. I went to the palace to see emperor Yongxing. He didn't listen to me. Then go to Huaiqing house and discuss business with Princess Chang. "

He pinched his eyebrows and sighed

"Once the peace negotiation is completed, Dafeng may really be powerless."

Mu Nanzhi looks at the bag of cakes again.

She bit her lip.

When a man is in a mess, he still doesn't forget to bring you a packet of favorite desserts, which is worth more than ten Wen. However, it is much more affectionate than those sweet words, vows and smiles.

Taking off his boots, Xu Qi'an lay down on the bed with his arms resting on the back of his head.

If the plan goes smoothly, two of the four key points proposed by Zhao Shou will be satisfied: reviving Wei Yuan and stabilizing the rear.

To be a chess player is a suggestion, and there is no degree of completion in itself.

"As long as the sixth Prince is in power and can guarantee to support me and fight with Yunzhou, then, although the matter of money and grain has not been solved, squeezing Dafeng's national strength can barely sustain it.

"Now the only problem is that my cultivation is too weak. Although I can compete with the second grade, I will die in the face of the third grade. In front of me is the magic nail. "

The magic seal nail can't be cracked with brute force, unless you know the secret formula and secret method like azuro.

If you hit only one nail, you can still pull it out by yourself.

Xu Pingfeng ah, Xu Pingfeng, you are all resourceful..... The idea turns, he suddenly smelled a fragrance close, opened his eyes, side head look.

Mu Nanzhi sat beside the bed, giving him an infinite beautiful back, and a half round buttocks supporting silk trousers.

She did not know when she took off her clothes and wore only a white coat.

Or how to say a girl is better than a young woman's waist, a young woman's buttocks.

"When I was 13 years old, I was sent in by my parents in exchange for a great fortune. I thought I would spend my whole life in the palace, but I was given to King Huai by Yuanjing. He thinks that he is a piece of goods and is sold by others. "

Mu Nanzhi turned his back to him and said in a quiet way:

"Later, I got to know Luo Yuheng. She told me that I was reincarnated as a flower god. I was born with Lingyun. I was the cauldron of huaiwang. I was waiting for him to take away my Lingyun one day.

"I was afraid to ask her what would happen if Lingyun was taken away. She told me, of course, that she would die.

"So I feel that I'm not as good as the goods. I'm a captive animal in huaiwang mansion, waiting to be slaughtered."

It turns out that she was so afraid that her identity would be exposed and I knew it was the reincarnation of the goddess of flowers. She was intimidated by the national master. Xu Qi'an suddenly realized.

"So I've always been afraid of being exposed, and I'm wary of everyone, including you."

Mu Nanzhi didn't look back, but Xu Qian could feel her smile

"But these days, I repeatedly asked myself, if Xu wants to rob me of Lingyun, do I agree? Would I die for you? I didn't have an answer until you came in

She pauses and looks at the package of cakes on the table

"But just now, I suddenly knew the answer. I would."

Finish saying, Mu Nan Zhi stretch tight son, stiff sit, seem to have what terrible monster behind, will rush to bite her at any time.

She waited for a long time, did not wait for Xu Qi'an's hungry tiger and sheep, did not resist, looked back.

Xu Qi'an side body, hand supporting head, smiling at her.

Bai Ji is also learning the posture of Xu Qi'an. She leans on her side, her head supported by one claw, and looks at her silently.

Mu Nanzhi's face "Shua" red, the top of her head as if emitting illusory black smoke.

"You..."

She becomes angry and grabs Bai Ji to smash Xu Qi'an in the face. Xu Qi'an is OK, and Bai Ji screams in pain.

"I'm kidding you. Don't be angry. Don't be angry."

Xu Qi'an pulls Bai Ji aside and drags Mu Nan Zhi to bed before she "slips away.".

The girl is so proud and coquettish that she can hardly summon up the courage to help him to be promoted to the second grade. She missed this time and didn't know when to wait next time.

"You are an undead tree. I can't take away your spirit. At most, I can absorb some of it, but I can't die. Besides, I have a magic nail in my body. Even if I sleep with you, I won't be promoted to second grade.

"I'll be your licking dog first, and I'll talk about absorbing the spirit later."

Xu Qi'an buried his head in his soft chest, ready to "Chi Liu" for a while. Suddenly, his head felt knocked.

It's not an ordinary way to send a message. It's a request for private chat.

If at ordinary times, Xu Qi'an would throw away the fragments of the book and lick the dog to his heart's content.

But it's a very special time now. Members of the heaven and earth society have a private chat with him. There must be something wrong.

Reluctant to part from mu Nanzhi chest raised his head, a look at her rosy face

Careless, you should make complaints about your hands, or look at your face, so you can get into the sage time ahead of time. In the heart, you can easily find out the fragments of the book and accept the private conversation.

I'm fifteen miles outside the west gate of the capital. Can I come out and see you

Number eight?

Xu Qi'an frowned. The Taoist priest Jinlian said a few days ago that he had passed the Customs on the 8th and might come to the capital in the near future.

What does he want me to do alone?

Among the members of the heaven and earth society, the 8th is a man who has been on the hook for ten thousand years, and has no intersection with him or other members.

Ask Taoist priest Jinlian first to see if the number eight is reliable... Xu Qi'an didn't reply and ended his private chat. Instead, he sent an invitation to Taoist priest Jinlian.

What's the matter

The Taoist priest soon sent a letter to respond.

I'm in Beijing on the 8th. I'd like to meet you

Xu Qi'an told Taoist priest Jinlian the situation straight to the point.

9. My advice is that you might as well meet him

Xu Qi'an knows the rules of heaven and Earth Society. Taoist Jinlian will not disclose the identity of the fragment holder without his permission.

At the end of the transmission, he immediately connected with No. 8 and replied:

Good

I had no choice but to get up and stare at mu Nanzhi, who was lying on her back. She still had a regular look on her chest and said:

"I'll go out. Don't wait for me. Go to bed first."

With that, his body melted into the shadow and disappeared into the room.

Mu Nanzhi forced out a breath, not clear is lost or relieved.

"Auntie, I want to be your licking dog, too."

Bai Ji flies to Mu Nanzhi's chest, but is slapped open by the flower god. She frowns

"Did you stay with him for a long time and become like an apprentice?"

As she spoke, she picked up one of Bai Ji's hind legs, looked at it and spat:

"You female."

...........

Xu Qi'an kept jumping in the shadow and came to the west gate a few minutes later.

At this time, the night was deep, and it was very quiet all around. The glow of the torch at the end of the city was like a firefly.

Out of the gate, he is like a black fish, drilling into the dark night, like swimming in the ocean, straight ahead along the official road.

The appointed place is 15 Li outside the gate of the west city. There is no additional description, that is, the default is on the official road.

Fifteen miles away, he soon came to his destination and saw a tall figure standing in the dark.

He was wearing a red and yellow cassock and was nearly nine feet tall. Compared with ordinary people, he was like a giant.

His appearance is ugly. The brow bone without eyebrows is slightly raised. The eyes under the brow bone are as sharp as a knife. It gives people a feeling of extraordinary bravery.

Ugly handsome ugly handsome.

He was playing with a small jade mirror in his hand.

...........

PS: wrong word, change it at night.
