Nightwatcher

The shock wave turned into a frenzy, spreading in ripples, kicking up dust and gravel, destroying houses in the distance, and silently annihilating many lives.

Amidst the muffled groans, the four golden gongs each adopted different defensive methods, borrowed their strength, and drifted to the distance, not daring to be in the center of the explosion.

When everything calmed down and the figure of the black-robed man had long since disappeared, the four Jin Luo breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but burst into anger.

"What's the origin of this guy? I mean that arm." The warlock in white suddenly appeared, his back turned to everyone.

"Arm?" asked back with the golden gong of the sword.

"According to my observation, that arm doesn't belong to him. I've only seen it in my life because of its terrifying demonic energy," said the white-clothed warlock.

Jiang Lvzhong stared at the back of the warlock in white: "Yang Qianhuan, your eyes are on the back?"

The white-clothed warlock named Yang Qianhuan said: "Before he left, I took a peek back."

"" Jiang Lvzhong said helplessly: "Can you turn around and talk carefully, you were not like this before."

"Let me refuse. Mr. Yang does things as he pleases and doesn't care about anyone's opinion." After he finished speaking, he explained:

"I have carefully observed Teacher Jianzheng and Wei Yuan, haven't you noticed that one of them always likes to stand in the observation hall with their backs to you; the other always likes to sit on the gossip table with their backs to us.

"And we will feel that Wei Yuan and the teacher are very superior."

The four golden gongs felt like vomiting in their brains, but they couldn't.

Jiang Lvzhong shook his head and returned to the topic: "So, according to the current information, that hand is the sealed item under Sangbo."

Yang Qianhuan, the sealed object under Sangbo, frowned. He just returned to Beijing the day before yesterday, and today he came here on behalf of Si Tianjian to help encircle and suppress a lunatic.

He also knew that the Shanhe Temple in Yongzhen was bombed a while ago, but he didn't pay much attention to it. As we all know, as long as a warlock has a pharmacy and an alchemy laboratory and delivers meals on time, he can stay away for ten years.

"That monk is probably Heng Hui." Jin Gong with a sword said.

Listening to the gold gongs chatting with each other, Yang Qianhuan was more and more curious with a question mark on his head.

"If we can catch him, we will know the whereabouts of Princess Pingyang." Jiang Lvzhong said.

Princess Pingyang? The princess of Pingyang who disappeared more than a year ago? Yang Qianhuan remembered that when the princess disappeared, the warlocks of Si Tianjian were almost out in force, causing a lot of commotion.

Hearing this, he couldn't bear it anymore, turned his back and asked:

"It's only been a few days since the Sangbo case happened, and your watchmen have investigated the case so clearly? Wait, why didn't I hear about the disciples of Si Tianjian? Don't tell me that you didn't ask them to assist in handling the case. You watchmen People are not so good at handling cases."

This high-quality warlock is full of fog.

Logically speaking, for such a big case as Sangbo, it is impossible for the sorcerer of Sitianjian not to tell him. After all, Sitianjian often assists the court in handling cases, and internal exchange of information is common.

But Yang Qianhuan had never heard of Henghui, Princess Pingyang and other information.

Yang Yan opened his mouth in a rare way, and said: "Our watchmen didn't even use the golden gong, and the one who handles the case is a mediocre Tonggong."

What does this have to do with you, your tone is so smug Yang Qianhuan didn't turn around, slandered in his heart, and asked back: "Tonggong? Tell me about it."

"You should know this Tonggong, um, because he is very famous in Sitianjian." Jiang Lvzhong remembered the rumors about Xu Qi'an, and knew that he once gave lectures to white-clothed warlocks in Sitianjian. "His name is Xu Qian."

"Xu Qi'an?!" Yang Qianhuan's voice rose a little.

He knew about Xu Qi'an, he had known about him since he had just returned to Sitianjian, and he actually gave lectures to his juniors, he was really too showy, he was a formidable enemy.

Unexpectedly, he was also responsible for the Sangbo case. He seems to have done a good job, and he is a strong opponent who is in the limelight.

"What's the origin of that arm?" Nangong Qianrou said bitterly.

"I don't know, but its owner is definitely above the second rank. I don't know much about the martial arts system. Of course, I don't bother to understand it." Yang Qianhuan's tone was deep, like an invincible and lonely swordsman.

This person has been away from Beijing for several months, and his condition has become more and more serious. Jin Luo thought to himself.

After yesterday's exhaustion, Xu Qi'an, who was slightly injured, overslept, and it was already dawn when he got up.

Maoshi must have passed, anyway, I was late, so I was not in a hurry, dressed and washed slowly, and went over the wall to the main house for breakfast.

From far away, I could hear the gluttonous child crying loudly, the cry was full of anger, like the roar of a hungry dragon.

Entering the front hall, the second uncle had already gone to work, and the aunt and Lingyue who got up late were eating breakfast. Xu Lingyin put her hands behind her back and leaned forward, attacking her mother with sound waves.

The aunt with a beautiful face but a dignified temperament frowned her eyebrows and lowered her head to eat in silence.

Lu'e comforted Xiao Douding by the side.

"What's the matter?" Xu Qi'an came in with a smile.

Xu Lingyue's eyes lit up, she turned her head and said excitedly, "Brother is taking a rest today?"

"I overslept," Xu Qi'an said ashamedly.

"Big brother, big brother," Xu Lingyin ran over on her short legs, grabbed Xu Qi'an's clothes with one small hand, and pointed at her mother and sister with the other little finger, and said indignantly, "They robbed my chicken legs, they even robbed children's chicken legs! Aww"

so excessive? Xu Qi'an looked at his aunt and sister.

Aunt snorted coquettishly, too lazy to explain.

Xu Lingyue said helplessly: "Last night, Lingyin left a chicken leg. She didn't want to eat it, so she took it back to the house. When she got up this morning, she found that the chicken leg was gone. She thought it was my mother and I who stole the chicken leg."

That should have happened after I left last night, otherwise it would be Xu Lingyin grabbing her mother's sleeve and accusing me of stealing her chicken legs to eat. Xu Qi'an touched Xiao Douding's head:

"Brother is best at solving cases, and he will make the decision for you."

Xiao Douding was very happy when he heard it, and felt that the eldest brother was the best, except that he liked to grab his food, held on to the hem of the eldest brother's clothes, and stared at his mother and sister with the same hatred as him.

Xu Lingyue met her eldest brother's eyes and said, "I asked the maid who took care of her, and the maid said that Lingyin got up in the middle of the night and ate it, but she didn't believe it at all."

Xu Qi'an bowed his head and asked, "Then have you eaten?"

Xu Lingyin said loudly, "I haven't."

Xu Lingyue said: "The servant girl said she ate it with her eyes closed. We found the bone of a chicken leg by her bedside. It was gnawed very clean. That's how she ate it."

"Brother, my sister must have eaten it. My sister is lying." Xu Lingyin couldn't accept the fact that he ate the chicken leg that he was reluctant to eat.

"Brother already knows who ate it."

"Who is it?"

You ate it with your mouth, but your brain didn't know Xu Qi'an said, "It's a ghost."

"Damn ghost?" Xu Lingyin was taken aback, her pronunciation was not standard anymore.

"Don't scare the child." The aunt said unhappily, and said to the little girl: "Sprinkle the ghost with salt and fry it in oil. It tastes better than chicken legs."

When Xu Lingyin heard it, she was both afraid and longing.

After breakfast, Xu Qi'an came to the yamen on horseback. Song Tingfeng squinted and said, "Ning Yan, Wei Gonggang sent someone to invite you to Haoqi Tower."

"You didn't say I was late, did you?" Xu Qi'an said.

"I said you were running around in the hut." He narrowed his eyes and said.

"" Xu Qi'an nodded, and turned to Haoqi Building.

After the guard passed the pass, he walked upstairs quickly, and was startled by the scene in front of him.

In the tea room, apart from Wei Yuan, there were four Jin Gongs, all of them were wounded. Yang Yan's arm was hung up with gauze, as if his arm bone was broken.

Jiang Lvzhong's forehead was tightly bandaged, and he only wore one boot on his feet, while the other was wrapped in thick gauze.

Nangong Qianrou looked normal on the outside, but her face was as pale as a paper doll.

The other Jin Luo, whom he didn't know, had his head wrapped in thick gauze, and it felt like someone had his head ripped open in a street fight.

This scene is both absurd and comical, dignified and high-quality warriors, like a group of hooligans who have lost in a group fight, a little downcast.

"Pfft..." Xu Qi'an turned his head, couldn't hold back, and smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" The four Jin Luo stared at him expressionlessly.

"I didn't laugh," Xu Qi'an refused to admit.

Wei Yuan called Xu Qi'an to come over, pointed to the seat opposite him and asked him to sit down, and said: "Henghui appeared last night, the target is the Ministry of War Shangshu's Mansion."

Xu Qi'an put away his joking expression and turned serious: "Several golden gongs"

Wei Yuan nodded: "The one injured by Heng Hui, last night the yamen set up bureaus in the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of War and the Chief Assistant Mansion, four Jin Gong, plus the third disciple Yang Qianhuan of Jianzheng, five fourth-rank masters Heng Hui was not left behind."

For this ending, Xu Qi'an was both shocked and not shocked. He didn't expect five fourth-rank masters to join the battle. If he wasn't shocked, he felt that the sealed item under Sangbo should be such a character.

"Have you seen the origin clearly?" Xu Qi'an asked the sealed object itself.

"A severed hand." Jiang Lvzhong replied.

Sure enough, it was that weird hand, Xu Qi'an looked at Wei Yuan: "Wei Gong, what grade is this?"

With such strength in one hand, what realm should the master have?

"At least rank two." Wei Yuan said.

At least the second rank, but there is a high probability that it is the first rank. Otherwise, it is impossible to seal instead of kill. Xu Qi'an guessed: "What is the origin of the sealed item? Is it related to the monster race?"

"This matter involves a huge secret, and I don't know the specifics." Wei Yuan refused to disclose.

A severed hand, a strong man, involved Si Tianjian, the royal family and Buddhism. It also involves the history of five hundred years ago. Thinking about it, Xu Qi'an glanced at the golden gongs, trying to see some clues from their eyes.

The golden gongs ignored the observations of the little gongs.

"Henghui has a magic weapon to shield his breath. What is certain is that he has not left the city yet. I have already reported the situation to His Majesty." Wei Yuan said gently:

"You continue to check yours."

Xu Qi'an understood the eunuch's hint, "Where is the Minister of War?"

"In the name of protection, I'm under house arrest in the mansion." Wei Yuan took a sip of tea.

"Let's go and investigate now." Xu Qian understood.

Wei Yuan pointed out: "Zhang Shangshu is a senior member of the second rank, so be careful. For the fourth rank and above, you don't need to use the qi technique. This is the rule, but you can still bring a warlock."

This means that although the warlock's accusation cannot be used as evidence, it can provide me with a reference Xu Qi'an clasped his fists: "Yes."

He glanced at the frustrated golden gongs, made another "poof", and left the tea room before the golden gongs got angry.
