Nightwatcher

In the inn, Miao Youfang sighed in satisfaction and pain.

Ever since he followed Xu Qi'an, this titular master, the real master, has been helping him collect medicinal herbs for tempering his body.

And teach him the unique method of luck to assist promotion. .

Soaking in medicinal baths every day, enduring the pain of burning and acid erosion, and silent luck, he finally passed the threshold and was promoted to the sixth-grade copper-skinned iron bone.

He stood up from the bathtub, looked around himself, the surface of the bronzed skin shone with a faint divine light.

The strength and five senses have improved a lot, and the energy is also much stronger, but what surprises the warrior most is the body's invulnerability.

There is a saying in Jianghu: the county magistrate of the sixth rank, the magistrate of the fifth rank, and the marquis of the fourth rank.

Using an official position as a metaphor for the rank of a martial artist, the sixth rank can dominate a county, and the government dare not provoke it.

The fifth rank can show off its power in a place of prefecture.

The fourth grade refers to being able to rule the roost like a prince.

Of course, this statement is limited to the ruling party in the Jianghu, and does not involve the court.

Miao Youfang looked down and saw that it was a peerless sharp gun.

He was pleasantly surprised:

"Good guy, it's exactly as I expected.

"From now on, the spears will be everywhere, and the girls will not be able to cry for their father and mother. Hey, brother Li, envy, you must be very envious.

"Only warriors can deal with warriors."

Li Lingsu glanced at him and said lightly:

"No matter how hard an embroidery needle is, isn't it still an embroidery needle?

"Oh, you think stabbing will hurt a little bit."

Miao Youfang was furious, and straightened his waist: "Bibi?"

Li Lingsu crossed her legs and said with a sneer, "My stuff is only for beauties, not like embroidery needles."

At this time, Xu Qi'an pushed open the door, glanced at them, and said expressionlessly:

"Clean up and leave Jiangzhou City."

Xu Qi'an, the two live treasures, muttered in his heart, turned and left.

He was not in a good mood. He never expected that Jiangzhou City, as the main city of Yizhou, would have only scattered Dragon Qi hosts.

Yuzhou.

The three prefectures of Xiang, Jing, and Henan are close to the Yan Kingdom. Based on the principle of proximity, Nalan Tianlu first "searched" for the hosts of dragon energy in the three prefectures.

His decision was undoubtedly correct. After collecting for a period of time, they collected eight dragon energy hosts in Xiangzhou and two dragon energy hosts in Yuzhou.

The tallest restaurant in the city, Tianzihao Yajian.

Dongfang Wanrong was wearing a peach-red low-cut long dress, exposing her white and greasy chest, sitting sideways, drinking tea.

The door was pushed open, and Dongfang Wanqing, who had the same appearance as her sister, but with a cold temperament, stepped across the threshold, reached out to take the tea handed by her sister, and said:

"Catch a spy, to be precise, he took the initiative to find me."

Dongfang Wanrong raised her delicate eyebrows and said in surprise:

"A spy from the Dafeng court?"

Dongfang Wanqing shook her head: "He claims to be from Tianji Palace."

Tianji Palace. Dongfang Wanrong frowned slightly, full of unfamiliarity with this name.

At this time, an old and gentle voice came from her mind: "Let him in."

Dongfang Wanrong asked in her mind while conveying the teacher's order:

"Teacher, do you know Tianji Palace?"

After a few seconds, Nalan Tianlu replied:

"An intelligence organization established by second-grade warlocks, they are spread all over the Central Plains, and even Kyushu. This organization played a great role in the Battle of Shanhaiguan that year.

"Wei Yuan suffered a lot back then."

Dongfang Wanrong became more and more puzzled: "A sorcerer of the second rank, but he is standing on the opposite side of Dafeng?"

In her impression, warlock can also be synonymous with Si Tianjian, and Si Tianjian belongs to the Dafeng court.

Nalan Tianlu sighed:

"The Battle of Shanhaiguan back then was essentially an outbreak of increasingly intensified conflicts between various forces in the Kyushu mainland, but if the two people had not lobbied and fueled the flames, the outbreak of the Shanhaiguan Battle might have been delayed for more than ten years.

"And among those two people, one is the old man Tiangu, the leader of the Heavenly Gu Division, and the other is this second-grade warlock."

Second-rank warlocks and people from the Heavenly Gu Department joined forces to promote the Battle of Shanhaiguan? Dongfang Wanrong heard the inside story of the war for the first time, and she was surprised and at a loss:

"Why is that second-grade warlock like this?"

Nalan Tianlu said slowly: "Of course it is to replace the supervisor and be promoted to the first rank."

Replacing the supervisor, Dongfang Wanrong suddenly said:

"No wonder you want to meet the spies, that second-grade warlock is an ally you can win over."

Nalan Tianlu hummed:

"It's just a temporary ally, he is a terrible character, I was imprisoned in the Pagoda of the Buddha for 20 years, and I was born again, he has made Dafeng so messy.

"The biggest beneficiaries of the Battle of Shanhaiguan, besides Buddhism, are him and the old man Tiangu. Although Dafeng won, half of the national fortune was stolen. If it was only like this, it would not have fallen into such a situation.

"But that man planned for 20 years to get rid of Zhenbei King and Wei Yuan successively, and that's all for Zhenbei King. Once Wei Yuan died, everyone breathed a sigh of relief."

Nalan Tianlu fell silent suddenly, and Dongfang Wanrong then looked towards the door.

Squeak~ The door opened again, and Dongfang Wanqing led a mysterious man in a cloak and a hood.

"I met the two palace masters who spied on "Feng" in Xia Tianji Palace, and were in charge of the boundaries of Yuzhou."

A deliberately hoarse male voice came from the hood: "Please allow me to make an introduction, Tianji Palace is"

Dongfang Wanrong interrupted indifferently: "Speak directly."

Agent "Feng" was silent for two seconds, and said with a smile: "It seems that the Grand Palace Master already knows our background."

He reached into his arms, took out a letter, and offered it with both hands.

Dongfang Wanrong made a move, and the envelope automatically fell into her hand, and she opened it to read.

Ten seconds later, she put the letter paper on the table and said with a smile:

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"Wind" spy bowed and said:

"The Great Palace Master is wise. The Young Master also said that if you meet Xu Qi'an, you should avoid it if you can, and wait for the opportunity.

"Heh, dragon qi has the characteristic of attracting each other. As we collect more and more dragon qi, all parties will meet sooner or later. At that time, we will plan a big event together."

After a pause, he said:

"Next, I have some information to share with the two Palace Masters.

"Xu Qi'an has obtained three of the nine vital dragon energy, one in Leizhou, the other in Zhangzhou's Xiangzhou, and the ranger Miao Youfang in Qingzhou.

"Yongzhou does not have a host for one of the nine dragon qis.

"Now it is known that there is one in Yuzhou, but not in Yunzhou. After Dafeng Thirteen Continents, only Jiangzhou, the three states of Xiangbei, Jing, and Henan in the northeast, Jianzhou, Chuzhou, and the boundary of the capital city are left. The remaining five Dragon energy is distributed among these six continents."

In the official administrative division of Dafeng, the capital is also a continent.

"Not in Xiangzhou!"

Dongfang Wanrong shook her head.

"Feng" spy said: "Then there must be one, or even two, in Jingzhou and Yuzhou. If Sun Xuanji of the Sitian Supervisor hadn't intercepted it in advance."

"I understand." Dongfang Wanrong said.

Agent "Wind" nodded, and continued:

"After the two palace masters have finished their trip to the three northeastern states, Jiangzhou, Jianzhou, and Chuzhou will be left. We and Xu Qi'an should have a conflict in one of these three states.

"Is there any spiritual master of the Witch God Sect nearby?"

He euphemistically reminded that without the strength of the Transcendent Realm, it is impossible to get involved in this level of battle.

Dongfang Wanrong smiled and said, "No need to worry."

Yuzhou.

Xu Yuanshuang spread his arms and let the pigeon land on his forearm. He took out a small piece of paper from the thin bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's paw.

After reading it carefully, a slight smile appeared on her delicate face, and she turned around and said:

"Canglong Qisu has captured the dragon energy host in Yuzhou, and despite all the twists and turns, he almost escaped several times.

"However, if you do mental calculations without intention, and use secret agents from Tianji Palace to assist, coupled with the strength of Canglong Qisu, it is safe to say that there is no danger."

It is one of the nine vital dragon qi.

Liu Hongmian and the others were relieved, and Ji Xuan smiled and said, "Next, it's time to contact the two King Kongs."

In Qingzhou, which is close to Yunzhou, Jingxin and Jingyuan walked thousands of miles, and finally met Du Nan and Du Fan in a deserted ruined temple in a county on the border of Qingzhou.

King Kong wears capes and hoods to hide their dark golden skin.

"Master! Master uncle!"

"Two uncles!"

Pure heart and pure fate together.

Jing Xin told the two Vajras in detail what happened after being taken away:

"Xu Qi'an released us as promised."

At this point, even if he is a Zen master, he can no longer call that person a Buddha.

Anger lingers in my heart.

"Three years."

King Kong Dufan sighed: "Fortunately, the son of King Shura has returned to his throne."

Even Buddhism can't afford to lose a second-rank Arhat.

Pure heart and pure fate overjoyed.

The latter asked: "Master, Master Uncle, what are you doing here?"

Duan King Kong said slowly: "An incarnation of the Gala Tree Bodhisattva is in Qianlong City, Yunzhou. There may be orders in the near future. The two of us are waiting for the messenger here."

Jing Xin wondered, "Why don't you go in?"

Dufan King Kong said in a low voice: "The supervisor is watching Yunzhou."

Jingxin and Jingyuan looked at each other in amazement.

Ten days later, Jiangzhou City.

Going round and round, Xu Qi'an traveled all over Jiangzhou, and returned to the main city.

He has wiped out all the dragon energy hosts in Jiangzhou, but he still hasn't found one of the nine dragon energy hosts.

"If the host of the Dragon Qi in Jiangzhou is a ranger, then he has already traveled elsewhere, just like Miao Youfang."

Xu Qi'an led the little mare, walked towards the porridge shed outside the city with Miao Youfang and Li Lingsu.

A long queue formed there, and a poor man and a homeless man in simple clothes held broken bowls and bamboo tubes, waiting for the porridge to be handed out.

The city defense army brutally maintained order, reprimanding, punching and kicking the crowded poor people at every turn.

Although the method was rough, it did stabilize the situation.

And those poor people suffering from hunger and cold, although numbness and pain still remain on their faces, there is light in their eyes looking at the porridge shed.

To be honest, Emperor Yongxing's disaster relief measures changed Xu Qi'an's opinion of him greatly.

From Dafeng to the present, most of the government in various places are yin and yang, and the dynasty is corrupt to a certain extent. It cannot be changed by the emperor alone, or even by the lord of the capital.

Difficulty implementing government orders has always been the most troublesome thing for all dynasties.

According to Huaiqing, Emperor Yongxing adopted Xu Erlang's suggestion and dispatched all the censors in the capital to supervise the states, and gave the governor the right to kill first and then play.

Each governor is accompanied by a warlock in white to supervise.

As we all know, the Warlock in White is notoriously proud and rich, which greatly avoids joint corruption.

But because low-grade warlocks are weak chickens, in order to prevent the governor from being tempted to embezzle and kill people, the court added an iron law:

The warlock died, and the governor asked him to kill him.

As for the local governments, the imperial court encouraged neighboring counties to supervise and report each other.

Once verified, the whistleblower will be promoted to a higher rank, and the whistleblower will be dismissed or executed depending on the severity of the case.

There are still many policies to prevent officials from embezzling disaster relief food and grass, such as "chopsticks floating and people's heads falling to the ground" in the porridge bucket and so on.

As for how to deal with those pretending to be refugees and falsely claiming relief food, the old-fashioned Wang Shoufu gave the following methods:

Seventy percent rice, two percent bran and one percent sand.

These still cannot completely put an end to corruption, but have played a great curb effect.

Li Lingsu looked at the porridge shed and said with a smile: "Although compared with the disaster situation in the Central Plains, the effects of these things done by the imperial court are limited, but at least they give hope to the people."

Miao Youfang rarely raised his voice, and watched this scene with soft eyes.

A group of people entered the city, planning to rest for one night, and the next stop was Jianzhou.

at night.

Xu Qi'an moved the candle beside the round table to the desk, spread out the rice paper he had prepared in the inn, and wrote with a pen:

"Xiang, Jing, Yu, Jian, Chu."

Mu Nanzhi came over with the little white fox in his arms, and looked around: "Where are these places?"

"Didn't you read "Dafeng Geography" every day?" Xu Qi'an asked back.

"I forgot it after reading it, who still remembers." Mu Nanzhi pouted.

Female school scum. Xu Qi'an slandered her in her heart.

If this woman lived in his time, there are probably two ways out:

1: Marry a local tyrant with her extraordinary beauty and become a wealthy wife.

Two: Enter the entertainment industry and become a queen of bad movies who will never be popular.

Why can't it be popular? Because the reincarnation of the flower god is obviously not the kind of person who endures hardships and stands hard work.

Xu Qi'an didn't have any demands on her, other than being too arrogant, she was kind in nature, she was also sensible at critical moments, and would not hold her back.

A woman who is willing to accompany you to roam the rivers and lakes is already the rarest quality in Xu Qi'an's opinion.

"The remaining six dragon qi are basically in these places."

Xu Qi'an rubbed his chin and analyzed for her: "But we can't judge whether the powers such as the Witch God Sect, Buddhism, and Qianlong City have picked peaches in advance."

Mu Nanzhi nodded solemnly, with a serious face, like a good student who listened carefully to the class.

"If they get one of the nine dragon spirits, they will immediately return to the base camp. This is the most troublesome situation."

"Then what should I do?" she asked nervously.

"There is no solution." Xu Qi'an shook his head: "My bottom line is to lose two vital dragon qi, and make up for it by accumulating scattered dragon qi."

Mu Nanzhi frowned suddenly: "Then how did you manage to rob them?"

Xu Qi'an smiled and said:

"Don't worry, I am responsible for half of the country's fortune. I have a greater chance of encountering Longqi than them. I have never encountered it, and of course they will not encounter it. At most, I will encounter one or two.

"I have a hunch that there will be a host of one of the nine dragon spirits in Jianzhou."

At this moment, he had a feeling in his heart and took out the sound transmission conch.

"exist"

As soon as Sun Xuanji's voice sounded over there, Xu Qi'an immediately answered:

"In Jiangzhou City Laifu Inn, the third floor is on the east side, the third room."

There was a long silence.

Xu Qi'an waited patiently for an hour, and finally, the light beside the bed rose from the bottom, intertwined into a young man dressed in white, of ordinary height, and with ordinary facial features.

"Brother Sun, what's the matter?"

As he spoke, he respectfully handed over the pen and paper.

If you can do it, you will never let Senior Brother Sun beep.

Sun Xuanji held the pen resignedly, and wrote:

"Dragon Qi Information Summary!"

After a pause, wrote again: "I found a strange thing."
