Nightwatcher

Seeing the letter No. 1, Xu Qi'an felt a little guilty and ashamed for no reason, so he didn't respond immediately.

[Two: Do ​​you have any clues about Hengyuan? So fast? 】

She is worthy of being a heroine Feiyan, who is anxious and righteous! Xu Qi'an praised silently.

At the same time, Xu Qi'an's spirit lifted, he was worthy of being Huaiqing, and worthy of being the number one female schoolmaster in Dafeng. This efficiency was simply frighteningly high. .

[One: In the process of killing Uncle Ping Yuan, Hengyuan accidentally saw something that shouldn't be seen. This is No. 3's speculation. So, what did you see? There was no way to guess, and I was so bewildered that I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. 】

This spirit of smashing the exam questions is the standard for a top student, worthy of Huaiqing. If I had had the spirit back then, Tsinghua University and Peking University would have already waved to me. No, I can’t say that, it should be because I never gave those famous universities a chance. No matter how good they are, I am also a student they can’t get. A silent grunt.

No. 1 continued to pass on the letter:

[With our Majesty's suspicious character, Heng Yuan will definitely be silenced, and Daoist Jin Lian said that he will not die for the time being, then he must be imprisoned in a place where His Majesty can see him at any time. However, after King Huai's spies brought Heng Yuan into the inner city, they never showed up again. Where did people go? 】

Huaiqing is cautious enough, take one bite at a time, Your Majesty, it is obviously your father Xu Qi'an who is full of desire to complain about Huaiqing now, even thinking about how to lure her to die.

[One: Later, No. 4's speculation about Tudun made me get out of my previous horns. There are dragon veins underground in the capital, and the dragon veins extend in all directions. If you use the method of earth escape, you can indeed teleport on the basis of the dragon veins.

【So, I investigated Pingyuanbo Mansion and found out that the mansion was bestowed by the emperor. There are specific requirements for the mansion bestowed by the royal family on heroes. For example, places with excellent geomantic omens are qualified to build such mansions.

[And in the capital city, the place with the best Fengshui is undoubtedly located on the dragon vein. After sneaking into Uncle Pingyuan’s mansion, I found a secret path in the rockery group in the back garden]

On the 1st, the details of the incident were told to everyone in the Tiandihui.

It turns out that Pingyuan Bo's Mansion really has a "burrow" that can directly reach the palace through a fixed earth escape formation?

Although everyone in the Tiandihui was surprised, they followed the original reasoning after all, so they quickly regained their composure and were delighted with the progress of the case.

Although No. 1 is inconspicuous, his ability and wisdom are trustworthy. In terms of investigation, he is second only to Xu Qi'an.

snort! It must be that Xu Qi'an was hiding his secrets and was unwilling to hand over his skills to herself, so her investigative and reasoning level did not improve much.

In the far north, Chu Yuanzhen, who was on a warship, sent a letter: [How to open this stone plate? Is it a specific item, or a formula? 】

[One: Specific items are required to activate the Earth Dungeon engraved in the stone plate. In addition, the Earth Dungeon itself is difficult to practice, and there are only a handful of people who can carve the Earth Dungeon into formations in Kyushu. 】

[Three: It can't be Si Tianjian. 】

When Xu Qi'an asked a question, the group of mysterious warlocks flashed in his mind. If it wasn't Si Tianjian, the only existence that could arrange this formation was the group of mysterious warlocks closely connected with the imperial court.

But if this is the case, it is very possible that the mystic warlock gang has an intersection with Emperor Yuan Jing, which is unbelievable.

The emperor and the rebels have a close relationship?

The level of absurdity is like two rivals in love suddenly fell in love, and abandoned the goddess to have sex

[Four: Hey, Xu Qi'an, are you the owner of the book from the ground now? 】

Heaven and Earth will be quiet inside.

Xu Qi'an had the feeling that the little yellow book he had collected was taken to a public place for public execution, and his scalp was slightly numb.

[Three: Let's talk about this later, let's talk about the business first. Number one, I want to know how you judged that the formation requires specific items, not formulas? 】

Number one ignored him.

Well, according to my old detective guess, she probably turned to Chu Caiwei for help. Huaiqing and Caiwei are best friends. Speaking of which, I have never understood how the stupid fat-headed fish and the smart dolphin became best friends

No. 1 avoided No. 3's answer, and continued to pass on the letter: [I have fully mastered the method of opening the stone plate, and the fragments of the book from the ground can complete this task. 】

Seeing this biography, among the other four, except for Chu Yuanzhen and Lina, Li Miaozhen and Xu Qi'an immediately understood it.

The formation of the book from the ground is closely related to the seal of the gods of mountains and rivers. It is not surprising that the book from the ground can open the "earth escape technique" formation.

The two wondered, how did number one know so clearly?

[Four: Can the book from the ground be used as a formation to open the stone plate? How can this be? 】

Even though it was just text, one could still feel Lao Chu's surprised expression on the other side of the "screen". And Xu Qi'an, who was familiar with him, could even imagine that he had launched another earth-shattering brain teaser.

The common problem of smart people-thinking too much!

Xu Qi'an briefly explained the origin of the book from the ground.

[Four: So that's the case, I thought]

At that moment just now, he did think of many things. Now it seems that he thought too much.

Seeing that no one was talking anymore, No. 1 regained control of the topic, and passed on the letter: [The help I need is for a master with sufficient strength and trustworthiness to open the stone plate with fragments of the book from the ground.

[This will be very dangerous, because you don't know what is on the other side of the formation, and you may never come back. 】

The Book of the Earth chat group fell silent again.

Trustworthy people are preferably internal members of the Tiandihui.

As for the strong cultivation base, Xu Qi'an is probably the only one who has enough self-protection ability. His defense can already be called the strongest below the "undead body".

Third-rank martial artist, also known as: Immortal body.

Xu Qi'an sighed, and passed on the letter: 【Let me go! 】

Even if you find a fourth-rank martial artist, it may not be more suitable than him. What's more, all the four trusted ranks in the Dabaoren's yamen went out with Wei Yuan.

But Hengyuan still needs to be saved. This bald head is a friend and a partner. More importantly, Hengyuan is a very good person.

[Two: Be careful. 】

[Four: If you feel danger, return immediately and take care. 】

He was thousands of miles away, unable to do anything but say dry blessings.

No. 1 did not speak, but Xu Qi'an was touched, and received an invitation from No. 1 to "privately chat".

[One: The method to open the stone plate is very simple, just place the book on the ground on the formation and instill energy. Before you act, you'd better ask Si Tianjian for a spell to shield your breath, and then use the ability of Confucian words to cover up your own existence. In this way, it may be possible to hide the other party's perception silently. 】

She fell silent after she finished speaking, and just when Xu Qi'an was about to put away the book, she suddenly sent the book: 【Everyone has his own destiny. 】

What does this mean, implying that I don't want to put myself to death just to save Hengyuan? Xu Qi'an sighed silently.

If the number one is Huaiqing, in her eyes, how can a "netizen" who has never had much contact with him be compared with him.

On the canal, more than a dozen warships lined up and sailed in an orderly manner.

On a certain warship, Chu Yuanzhen collected the fragments of the book and knocked on the door of Xu Erlang's room.

"Farewell to the old, you handed that thing to Xu Ningyan, and I will act as a news broker. There are some things that I need to let you know."

While talking, Chu Yuanzhen entered the room, and said in a deep voice, "Well, I understand that you don't want to talk about that matter publicly. The partitions on the ship have ears, and we"

He spread out the paper, picked up a pen to write quickly on the paper, and then gave Xu Erlang a look.

The flames sprang up, burning the paper into ashes, and slowly falling down.

There were too many sharp-eyed experts on board, Chu Yuanzhen didn't talk any more, and left decisively.

Watching Chu Yuanzhen walk out of the room, Xu Erlang was full of question marks.

What will he say?

What is he trying to say?

Am I losing my memory?

Involuntarily, the words that the elder brother told him in private before leaving flashed in my mind:

"No matter what strange questions Chu Yuanzhen asks you, or what strange things you say, don't answer and stay indifferent. Erlang, I don't ask you to say "Brother's Diaochan is on my waist", I just ask you to help keep my brother The famous name of the world."

This is what the big brother said, strange things and strange problems? Xu Erlang was thoughtful.

He didn't come to think about it, he sat at the table and studied military books. If he walked the canal, it would take him ten days to travel from the capital to Chuzhou, but now three days have passed, and the fourth day is about to usher.

Halfway through the short journey, he is about to usher in the first battlefield career in his life.

In the small courtyard of the widow, Xu Qi'an was sitting on a rattan chair basking in the sun, while the princess was sitting on a pony tie beside her, knocking sunflower seeds.

The two of them had a casual chat.

In fact, most of them are chattered by the princess, telling how she met Aunt Wang today, Aunt Li yesterday, and of course Aunt Zhang who has the best relationship.

It's always some small and trivial things that parents say, but it makes people feel relaxed.

"The food delivered by the shopkeeper yesterday is not fresh, I plan to replace him." Wang Hao said calmly.

In fact, it was because the shopkeeper looked at her with a hint of admiration. Although she hid it well, who is Mu Nanzhi? She is the most beautiful flower in Dafeng, and she has seen thousands of similar eyes.

In the past, she was wrapped in a veil, but it couldn't stop men from liking her. As long as they got in touch for a long time, they would like her like lard.

The peddler came to deliver food every day. Although he didn't talk much and had little contact with her, he was still influenced by her incomparable charm. It's justified to change as soon as possible, otherwise, as a widowed woman, it would be too dangerous to meet someone with evil intentions.

Alas, who told me to be so beautiful, it is also a sin to be beautiful! The princess has a self-admiring attitude on her face.

"You are the hostess, you can change if you want." Xu Qi'an nodded.

The princess immediately became happy. He always gave her the greatest freedom and authority, and never asked her about her decision. The only bad thing is that when she eats the food she cooks, she looks unhappy.

"Let's go out to eat today." Xu Qi'an suggested.

"No, I'm going to eat at home." The princess was playing petty.

"I want a big meal."

"Rough tea and light food is the way to live."

Are you a rough meal? Are you a mildly dark dish? Xu Qi'an complained wildly.

Two days have passed since the last internal meeting of the Tiandihui, and six days have passed since the army set off.

Xu Qi'an was planning to save Hengyuan, so he prepared four hole cards for himself.

Hole card one: Confucian sage carving knife!

Yesterday, I went to Yunlu Academy and borrowed the Confucian sage carving knife from Zhao Shou, but the defendant told me that the carving knife was not in the academy.

The hole card at the bottom of the box is gone, but don't panic, the hole card two: Supervise!

He turned his head and went to Sitianjian again, and asked Caiwei to tell the supervisor that he was going to do a big thing.

That's enough.

Hole card three: Auntie's talisman sword.

For a second-rank sword intent, even a third-rank martial artist would be injured, which is enough to save his life in a critical moment. Moreover, in a place like the capital, it only needs to make a big commotion, and it will attract countless eyes, including Jian Zheng and Luo Yuheng.

Hole card four: Monk Shenshu.

The smelly monk has been sleeping since he came back from Chuzhou, and he can't wake up even if he shouts. Whether this hole card can be used is not known for the time being, but it is a hole card after all.

"When Wei Yuan returns from the expedition, I will leave the capital and take my family with me." Xu Qi'an looked at her and reminded.

He didn't know why he had to mention this matter in front of her again and again.

The princess said "hmm" expressionlessly: "I wish you good luck."

late at night.

Xu Qi'an, who was wearing night clothes, walked silently through the streets of the inner city. He had nothing to hide his actions, but the sword guards around him, as well as the watchmen on the roof, "tacitly" ignored him.

Xu Qi'an, who used a Confucian mage to cover up his body, arrived at Pingyuanbo's mansion not long after.

According to the information given by No. 1, he accurately found the rockery with the cave hidden in the back garden.

Press the switch, and when the hole was revealed, he got into it, held the torch and walked quickly through the hole. There were no traps in the hole, and No. 1 had already explored it.

Soon, Xu Qi'an came to the stone room at the end of the corridor, and saw a stone plate with a diameter of two feet.

"Such a large stone plate can teleport dozens of people at a time. Uncle Ping Yuan uses this thing to teleport illegally kidnapped people into the palace."

Xu Qi'an stood by the stone plate, pondered for a few seconds, took out the fragments of the ground book, put them on it, and then poured it into the air machine.

The shards of the Book of the Earth lit up a faint, somewhat muddy shimmer, and these muddy shimmers were like flowing water, flowing into spells one after another, lighting them all up.

The formation on the stone plate was activated.

Xu Qi'an hurriedly stepped onto the stone plate, and the next moment, his figure disappeared into the stone room.

The foreground blurred, and then Xu Qi'an appeared in the quiet darkness without a single light source.

"There is no premonition of any crisis"

Holding Luo Yuheng's sword talisman tightly in his hand, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He is now in the "invisible" state, so he didn't dare to light up the fire pocket. The structure of human eyeballs determines that it is impossible to see in a purely dark environment.

No matter how high the cultivation base is, it will not work.

He didn't dare to release his mental power to explore the surroundings, so he could only move forward step by step, waving his arms in the process, testing the space ahead.

Fortunately, if there is a cliff or wall ahead, the warrior's intuition of danger will give feedback.

It is another form of detector.

After walking slowly for a quarter of an hour, Xu Qi'an caught a strange sound when his ears moved.

"Hoo, hoo"

In the darkness ahead, there was a strange sound, as if something was breathing.

How big is the lung capacity? Xu Qi'an complained from the bottom of his heart with his scalp numb.

As he walked forward, the "breathing sound" became clearer, and Xu Qi'an felt as if cold sweat was breaking out on his forehead.

What is hidden under the palace?

Xu Qi'an's hand holding the sword talisman couldn't help tightening. Once he caught a premonition of danger, he would directly activate the talisman sword without any chances.

The movement in the depths of the darkness gave him an extremely dangerous feeling, the closer he got, the more his body trembled uncontrollably.

Under the pressure of terror, he walked nearly a hundred steps forward, sneaking silently, and finally a faint golden light appeared in front of him.

This golden light exudes a majestic and masculine atmosphere, which is somewhat similar to King Kong's invincible magic skill, but it is different.

Is the golden light of Buddhism Hengyuan? Was Hengyuan really brought here? What is that golden light, Hengyuan's reliance, is it his secret? Xu Qi'an was full of imagination.

Just as he was about to move forward, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind:

He took two steps forward, and then died silently, without warning, his body was haggard, like a mummy

Warrior's crisis warning!

Xu Qi'an retreated silently, retreated, then turned around, sped up a little, and evacuated from this dangerous place.

In the underground stone chamber of Pingyuanbo Mansion, the incantations on the stone plate emitted a muddy gleam again, and a figure appeared out of thin air.

Xu Qi'an leaned over to pick up the fragments of the book on the ground, put it back in his arms, did not leave in a hurry, but lit a few oil lamps.

Then, he sat down against the stone plate and breathed out a mouthful of stale air soundlessly.

"After investigating the dog emperor for so long, there is finally some progress." Xu Qi'an let out a hey, with a hard smile on his face.

The movement from the depths of the darkness, like the sound of breathing, what is it?

The noise made by the dragon vein? Well, there is no accident in that place, it should be the core of the dragon vein.

"Hengyuan is suppressed in the dragon's veins, and the golden light is fighting against the dragon's veins? Also, what is the power that will make me die silently, is it a formation?"

Xu Qi'an grabbed the fragments of the book from the ground and passed it on: [I have already teleported through the stone plate, and I have initially explored the other side of the formation, and I have gained some results. 】

[One: Is it the palace? Is the place where the formations connect is the palace? Are you in danger. 】

[Two: What did you find? Well, you're not hurt. 】

[Four: The efficiency is very fast, have you rescued Master Hengyuan yet? 】

Except for Lina who was sleeping soundly, and Daoist Jinlian who was in retreat, the other members responded to Xu Qi'an's letter one after another. It seemed that they deliberately stayed awake and waited for his news.

PS: Haha, regarding the identity of No. 1, you can guess Huaiqing, the main reason is that I prepared a lot and prepared well, such as Huaiqing's reaction when Xu Qi'an died in battle in Yunzhou. There are many other similar foreshadowings. A mature author should make readers have the mentality of "I knew it was like this".

If the number one is framed, you will yell, why? Because there is no foreshadowing, it seems irrational and logically wrong.

Then there is the identity of No. 1, which is not a hot spot or a big secret in itself, but just a small interest in line with Huaiqing's personality.
