Nightwatcher

So dark where am I who am I?

He thought in a daze, unable to remember who he was or where he was.

woo woo woo

boom boom boom

Xu Qi'an heard the sound of horns and the beating of drums. Gradually, he heard other voices, the overwhelming shouts of killing, the chaotic sound of Shen Xiong's hooves, as well as the sound of explosions and the sharp sound of blades colliding.

All kinds of voices were intertwined together, forming a clear picture in Xu Qi'an's mind.

It's the battlefield!

As soon as he thought this way, the darkness in front of him split open, and the light penetrated in, and there was indeed a battlefield in his sight.

The black army rushed to kill like densely packed ants, and the high-grade martial arts wreaked havoc on the battlefield, just like human beings trampling on an ant nest.

Humans are not the only ones in this battlefield, there are giant beasts two stories high, serpents tens of meters long, raptors coiled in the sky

There are eminent monks sitting cross-legged and chanting scriptures; barbarians who are powerful enough to lift mountains and surpass the world; there are army of dead bodies who are not afraid of death; there are rows of artillery troops; there are brave cavalry riding fierce beasts.

"What kind of battlefield is this? It's too exaggerated, too many people died." Xu Qi'an thought blankly.

His gaze swept across the battlefield, the army of dead bodies, the artillery soldiers, and the high sky behind the battlefield, where there was a group of flying beasts hanging in the air.

Standing proudly on the beast's head in a green robe, with his hands behind his back, he indifferently overlooks the battlefield where the fighting is in full swing.

"Wei Yuan?!"

Xu Qi'an's heart shook, and he suddenly remembered who he was. At this moment, the battlefield screen collapsed and returned to the boundless darkness.

Xu Qi'an opened his eyes, but what he saw was still darkness.

I'm going, it's so boring. He didn't get up immediately, but concentrated and sensed. Then, he "saw" the dark cabin, the five coffins neatly arranged, the slow-moving official ship, and the rippling waves. canal.

This is the miracle he obtained after stepping into the realm of refining gods.

I don't know what other warriors in the God Realm are like, anyway, Xu Qi'an's mental power can act as eyes to a certain extent.

One day even if the titanium alloy dog ​​goes blind, he will not be afraid at all.

"The dream I saw just now, no, it shouldn't be a simple dream. How can a dream be so clear? I have never been in contact with an army of dead bodies, Buddhist monks, etc. How could I dream of it?"

"Why is there Wei Yuan in the dream? He looks very young, at least his temples are not gray. My father was so handsome when he was young, just as handsome as me."

Xu Qi'an was lying in the coffin, recalling the scene he saw in the dream, the mountains and plains were filled with black troops, and the number of people participating in the battle was huge.

A melee of various forces.

Combined with Wei Yuan's appearance and his deeds, Xu Qi'an immediately had a guess in his mind - the Battle of Shanhaiguan.

Among Wei Yuan's deeds, the most famous is the Battle of Shanhaiguan. The battle of Shanhaiguan is huge and perfectly fits the Battle of Shanhaiguan recorded in the history books. But why did I dream of the Battle of Shanhaiguan? The second uncle, this weak chicken, can survive, he must lie down in the pile of corpses and pretend to be dead, Xu Qi'an thought to himself, and pushed open the coffin lid.

Fresh air poured in, he took a deep breath, turned over and sat up, suddenly, a surprised voice came from the dim cabin:

"you're awake."

Xu Qi'an was startled, only then did he realize that there was a man in white sitting cross-legged three meters away from the left, with his back turned to him, and his identity was revealed, Yang Qianhuan.

This guy was the only man Xu Qi'an could recognize just by looking at his back.

There was no immediate response, he pondered for a few seconds before saying, "Where are we?"

Yang Qianhuan's tone was quite brisk, showing that he was in a great mood: "On the way back to Beijing, oh no, on the water."

"The case in Yunzhou is over?" Xu Qi'an's face was full of joy: "Hey, this case is finally over, and I finally don't have to stay up all night.

"I died once, and I don't know if Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao are sad for me, maybe I'm even more sad that the chance of five free prostitution is gone.

"Hey, in the end I still didn't trick Susu into being the paper man's wife. I'm afraid Li Miaozhen wanted to hack me to death. Fortunately, I died one step earlier, otherwise it would be quite embarrassing."

Yang Qianhuan patiently listened to his chatter.

"By the way, why are you also on the boat?" Xu Qi'an asked.

Yang Qian thought about it, and said: "I was ordered by my teacher to come to Yunzhou to do business. Now that I have something to do, I will naturally go back. It happened that I sent someone to send your bones back to Beijing, so I sneaked up.

"Afterwards, I discovered that the arrow holes in your body were repaired strangely. I guessed that you were not dead. After waiting for a long time, hey, you really came back to life."

Yang Qianhuan's words were very plain, but in fact the psychological process was far more ups and downs than the tone of voice. After learning the news of Xu Qi'an's death in battle, he thought he was done. After returning to Beijing, the teacher will suppress me at the bottom of the Zhaixing Tower. Eternity will see the light of day.

In a panic, he almost left the division and ran away.

At the same time, I feel that it is a pity that such an interesting kid died in battle, why can't he think about it, and even exchanged his 20-year-old life for the life of an old man.

Governor Zhang is a bad old man with half a foot in the coffin.

He followed all the way, sneaked into the official ship, and opened Xu Qi'an's coffin board. He didn't expect that another village would be illuminated by the dark willows, and the blue sky could be seen through the clouds and mists. The boy's injuries recovered miraculously, and his heartbeat gradually recovered, which seemed extremely peaceful.

So, Yang Qianhuan happily stood by the coffin, and didn't have time to shit.

Of course, Xu Qi'an couldn't let Xu Qi'an know about these things.

Did he uncover my coffin? Otherwise, how do you know that my injuries have been healed? Why do you always feel that he has some ulterior motives?

"What did Master Jianzheng send you to Yunzhou for?"

Just at this time, Yang Qianhuan asked: "How did you manage to come back from the dead?"

After asking, the two looked at each other and fell silent.

A few seconds later, they changed the topic in tacit agreement with their guilty conscience:

"the weather is nice today."

"The wind is very noisy today."

Xu Qi'an and Yang Qianhuan fell silent again.

A little embarrassed, just when Xu Qi'an wanted to change the subject and talk about something else, he suddenly found four letters in his arms.

whose letter?

The coffin was stored in the bilge, and only a faint light penetrated through the cracks in the deck.

The deck was actually transparent, this ship should be well repaired Xu Qi'an made a fuss, opened the envelope casually, and started to read in dim light.

Now his eyesight is able to see things in the dark without hindrance.

After stepping into the realm of refining gods, all aspects of the body's attributes have been improved.

"Brother:

The letter sent back was received at home. Both mother and father were very happy, Lingyin was also very happy, especially mother, who did not expect the eldest brother to write a letter to her, mother was so happy that she patted the table. Knowing that my eldest brother is all right outside, I am relieved. "

The handwriting is beautiful, it is a letter from sister Lingyue.

Auntie, I'm afraid she slapped the table and scolded my late mother, so are you happy? The little girl Xu Qi'an has Xu Lingyue's beautiful and refined melon-seeded face in her heart. Thinking of her slightly lowered head, shy and timid posture, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Shut up and continue reading.

"Not long after you left Beijing, Lingyin was forced to go to school to study. Everything was handled by the second brother. Now, Lingyin can already recite the first nine characters of the Three Character Classic. Wept with joy."

Lingyin can actually recite nine characters? Xu Qi'an almost cried with joy.

"But she seems to have been bullied. The jade bracelet that my mother bought for her, worth ten taels, disappeared a few days ago. There are light bruises on her wrist, which was obviously pulled off by someone.

"Lingyin was stupid, asked her who did it, she didn't say anything, she didn't take it seriously at all. Probably in her heart, nothing is important except food.

"The spring festival is approaching, and my father returns home very late every day, or sleeps outside the camp, and has no time to manage family affairs. Mother didn't dare to tell him, so she went to ask Mr. Shutang herself, but the husband said that he didn't know, maybe It was Lingyin who lost it by herself. She was trembling like a girl, but there was nothing she could do.

"If the eldest brother was at home, this kind of thing would definitely not happen. If the second brother was at home, the husband who scolded him would definitely feel ashamed.

"But the second brother is very angry recently. I heard from my father that he was frozen in the cold wind for half a night, and when he went home to get money and food the next day, he stopped talking to us. The second brother is really stingy. It's not wrong to forget to write to him Big brother's fault, big brother is also very busy."

Sister, Erlang is your own brother after all, you didn’t turn your elbows out, you turned your chest to me, please keep it up Xu Qi’an saw this, and almost covered his mouth with his hand, so he didn’t let himself laugh out loud .

It's a pity that I didn't get to see Erlang in distress, Kukuku

"By the way, my mother said that after the spring, I will find a husband and son-in-law for me. My mother really hates it. Why doesn't she marry herself. Lingyin misses you very much, and every day she clamors to find elder brother. I, I miss you too."

What stupid things, how can my aunt remarry? My aunt was born from my Xu family, and died from my Xu family's ghost Well, my eldest brother misses you very much too.

After reading it, Xu Qian folded the letter with satisfaction and put it back in the envelope.

He glanced at Yang Qianhuan, who still had his back turned to him, as quiet as a wooden man.

"What do you see me doing, where else can I be?" Yang Qianhuan said angrily.

Xu Qi'an ignored him, bowed his head, and opened the second letter.

"Xu Lang:

It's been twenty days since I left you, and the feeling of missing you is like a raging fire cooking oil, becoming more and more intense. Everything is fine with me in Jiaofangsi, but I always fall asleep, and when I wake up, I pick plum blossoms and walk around. I have brewed a jar of plum blossom wine. I hope you will come back and drink together. "

This is the reply letter from Mrs. Oiran.

"Occasionally, I will go out to have a few drinks with the guests and listen to their high-spirited talks. In fact, my family wants to hear news about you. However, Yunzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital, and it is not easy to pass the news.

"Those stinky men, who claim to be scholars, are actually mostly rich and poor, with mediocre talents, not as good as Xu Lang. I often think that meeting Xu Lang is the greatest gift from heaven to me.

"A few days ago, the servant girl brought back the news that Xu Lang wrote a new poem in Qingzhou, which was enshrined on the inscription as a treasure by Lay Ziyang as a warning to the world. The slave family is overjoyed with honor.

"Xu Lang, I miss you every night."

Xu Qi'an chuckled, carefully folded the letter paper, and took back the envelope.

In the last two letters, he recalled the spare tires he raised: Chu Caiwei, Huaiqing, and Lin'an.

It was clearly three people, oh no, three babies, why only two letters were replied.

Xu Qi'an was a little angry, thinking who didn't reply to my letter? Is it because my tire maintenance skills are not good enough, or is the steel fork of this Neptune not inserted accurately enough?

He randomly selected a letter and read it:

"Dog minion:

When will the Yunzhou case end? I don't miss you, I just feel that the Spring Festival is coming soon, many guards are going home after taking a bath, and there are not many available servants around. "

In the first sentence of the opening chapter, a bitch-like coquettishness and arrogance rushed towards her face.

Is Your Highness still short of guards? Well, remember to write back to me, not bad Xu Qi'an read on.

"The backgammon you invented has flourished in Ben Gong's hands. Everyone praises me as Lan Xinhui, extremely smart, and even Huai Qing, who hates me, is completely convinced by me, and he succumbed to me. He told me in private: Lin'an is far more intelligent than me. With me, Huaiqing is willing to bow down.

"But she will definitely not admit to this kind of thing. Let me tell you casually, don't keep it in your heart. After all, Huaiqing is a princess, so let her be a bit thinner.

"I don't want to take advantage of you. The Spring Festival is approaching, and my father gave me some gold, silver, jade, silk and satin jewelry. When you come back, just go to the warehouse of the palace to pick a few."

Hahaha, Lin'an, a silly girl, I coaxed her to say that my second uncle borrowed debts everywhere for my martial arts training, and life was difficult, but she actually took it seriously and gave me money in a different way, how naive is she? Please continue Keep it up.

Xu Qi'an smiled happily.

"What's the matter with the chicken essence? Didn't you invent it? Why are there rumors that it was invented by Chu Caiwei of the Sitianjian. I was so angry that I went to the Sitianjian to make a fuss.

"Si Tianjian's white clothes didn't dare to do anything to me, so he went to complain to my father. I was severely scolded by my father. When you come back, I will take you to seek justice."

Well, the essence of chicken is really made by Caiwei, I just give an idea. Well, she wants to use chicken essence to condense the personality of an alchemist, and I have already been informed of this.

Xu Qi'an was a little moved, and he was still very protective.

He stuffed Lin'an's letter back into the envelope, took a deep breath, and opened the last letter.

Huaiqing and Caiwei, who is the traitor between the two of you, we will see now.

"Xu Tongluo

The environment in Yunzhou is complicated, and banditry has a long history. The Qi Party and the Witch God Sect have been secretly planning for many years, and they must have accumulated a lot of power in Yunzhou.

"Remember to be careful, even if there is a fourth-rank martial artist in Jiang Luzhong, it is not very safe. If you lock the target, you must arrest it with a thunderbolt, and do not give the opponent time to respond.

"I guess Wei Gong is secretly planning, but most likely he won't meet with you. Maybe Governor Zhang knows, maybe he doesn't. Although you can solve cases like a god, but your strength is limited, so don't act alone."

The letter is from Huaiqing.

Xu Qi'an's mood is very complicated, both disappointment and joy, the disappointment is that the big-eyed cute girl is actually a scumbag, it was a waste of my love to put her in the fish pond, and she is so heartless.

The joy is that Huaiqing did not become a scum girl, and she still misses Ben Tongluo in her heart.

The palms and backs of the hands were full of flesh. Facing such an ending, Xu Qi'an had mixed feelings.

"Huaiqing is really scary, her IQ is too high, right? No, it's not just IQ, it's also about analyzing the situation and controlling people's hearts. She can even grasp Wei Gong's thoughts. It will be easy to cheat in the future. caught."

Princess Huaiqing seems to be half of Wei Yuan's disciple, so it's not surprising that she has this ability Xu Qi'an squinted and continued to read:

"A few days ago, Caiwei came to my palace for dinner, and mentioned you during the chat. She said that she was worrying about how to reply to your letter recently, because she didn't like reading, and she was afraid that her writing would make you laugh.

"She also said: Xu Ningyan is really caring, and sent me a red lotus petal from Qingzhou. She said that I am as bright as the red lotus.

"When Caiwei talked to Ben Gong, there was a smile on the corners of her eyes and brows, so I told Cai Wei: Ben Gong wrote the letter for you. She readily agreed.

"Heh, Mr. Xu is really coquettish and suave, giving a flower to two people with different words, but the description is just right.

"I admire you."

Xu Qi'an looked at the letter with a dull expression.

"What's wrong with you?" Yang Qianhuan asked.

"The car overturned." Xu Baijou blushed, and wanted to jump into the canal in shame and swim back to Baidi City.

Fuck, I forgot that Chu Caiwei is a young girl in love, and she has a good relationship with Huaiqing, there is no psychological barrier at all to share this kind of thing with a good girlfriend.

Huaiqing had a prejudice against me in the first place, and he refused to see me when he left Beijing. Now, Huaiqing must have branded me a scumbag with the wave of stealing from Caiwei girl. Xu Qi'an blushed with embarrassment.

Xu is also a person of dignity, how can you let me have the face to go back to Beijing? Oh, I'm dead, so it's okay.

At the same time, I feel lucky, because Huaiqing can't see Mounting, Floating Fragrance, and Sister Lingyue's letter.

Needless to say, the latter two have no intersection with Huaiqing, although Xiangxiang is her sister, but the two are in conflict, it is impossible to share this kind of secret letter in the boudoir.

It's even more impossible to show off, no matter how innocent and naive (bitch in the bitch), she is also a princess born in the royal family, and she will not be so stupid as to take out this kind of letter and say it everywhere.

Fortunately, I know that Chu Caiwei is an elm-headed person, so I didn't flirt with her, and only talked about the delicacies along the way. I'm afraid that's exactly the case. Princess Huaiqing was upset, but she still wrote to remind me. After all, what I wrote to her was a love (lick) letter, and what I wrote to Caiwei was a normal letter.

Hehe, unexpectedly, Huaiqing, you thought I was on the second floor, but I was actually on the fifth floor.

"Who wrote the letter?"

Seeing that Xu Qi'an had finally finished reading, Yang Qianhuan started talking again.

"A letter from a friend in the capital." Xu Qi'an didn't change his face.

"It's a good match." Yang Qianhuan said.

Xu Qi'an suddenly became vigilant: "You peeked at my letter?"

Yang Qianhuan sneered and said, "I, Yang Qianhuan, don't bother to do such nasty things."

After all, it was Xu Qi'an, a fourth-grade warlock, who nodded, and said: "Speaking of which, your junior sister Caiwei is really an elm-headed girl. At her age, she should be a girl with a spring. I couldn't help but write to her. She also"

Xu Qi'an let out a long sigh.

Yang Qianhuan agreed: "Junior Sister Caiwei is indeed a late enlightenment, she only told Princess Huaiqing as an ordinary friend's correspondence. It's not that she has no intentions of you at all, at least you are a very important friend in her heart .”

Xu Qi'an's eyes suddenly sharpened: "How the hell do you know she told Huaiqing?"

"" Yang Qianhuan.

Bi Wang didn't speak for a long time, knowing that he had been tricked, and immediately, he also felt the shame that Xu Qi'an just felt.

Not only did you peek at my letter, you even glued it back

"Forget it, for the sake of helping me catch Liang Youping, I'm too lazy to care about it." Xu Qi'an warned:

"But you must not tell the story of the letter."

The matter has come to this point, Yang Qianhuan has seen it all, he can still turn back time, so it is better to pretend to be generous.

Yang Qianhuan was stunned: "I didn't help you catch Liang Youping."

From the gap in the deck, a gust of cold current rushed in and blew on Xu Qi'an's neck.

He shivered slowly, his hairs stood up one by one, and even his voice trembled: "What did you say?"

With the warm winter sun hanging high, Nangong Qianrou arrived outside the palace city by car.

After parking the carriage, he threw the reins to Habayashi who came up to him, bent down and took off the wooden stool, opened the door of the carriage, and said:

"Father, here we are."

Wearing a luxurious green robe and gray temples, Wei Yuan got out of the carriage and stepped down on the wooden stool.

The two entered Miyagi and went to the imperial study.

"Father, I heard that there is an urgent 800 miles this morning?" Nangong Qianrou asked.

Dafeng's intelligence level is divided into three hundred miles urgent, four hundred miles urgent, six hundred miles urgent, and the highest eight hundred miles urgent.

Among them, the urgent information of eight hundred miles was sent directly to the cabinet, which then passed it on to the emperor. Before being sent to the cabinet, no one is allowed to handle it except the postman who transmits the information.

Otherwise, it is considered treason.

Wei Yuan nodded solemnly, and after eight hundred li expedited the documents to be sent to the palace, not long after, His Majesty held a small court meeting in the imperial study.

Expedited 800 miles must be a big deal, but I don't know which state it comes from.

"It's really troublesome!" Wei Yuan sighed lightly, paused, and said again: "How is the progress of the rhinoceros armor that I asked you to prepare?"

"The materials have been collected, and they will be taken to Sitian Supervisor for refining." Nangong Qianrou said in a sour tone.

The rhinoceros armor is a gift that Wei Yuan wants to give to Xu Qi'an. The rhinoceros armor is invulnerable to weapons, water and fire. If you ask Si Tianjian's alchemists and formation masters to make a magic weapon.

That is a supreme treasure that is unparalleled in defense, even a fifth-rank martial artist would never want to break through it easily.

Nangong Qianrou knew Wei Yuan's thoughts, he wanted to make up for Xu Qi'an's last shortcoming, and escort this ungrown sapling.

Near the imperial study room, Nangong Qianrou was stopped by the forbidden army, and Wei Yuan went forward alone.

Wei Yuan stepped over the threshold and entered the imperial study.

He casually glanced at the officials on both sides, and frowned suddenly.

All the ministers were looking at him with inexplicable eyes.

Emperor Yuan Jing was also looking at Wei Yuan, but the old emperor was deep in his thoughts and did not show his happiness or anger.

"Your Majesty." Wei Yuan saluted, and naturally entered the line, standing in his place.
