Nightwatcher

He was able to predict the position of the monster after entering the water and accurately shoot through the brain. This keen insight and judgment is simply frightening. Lu Qing is proud of being the head catcher of the government government as a woman, overwhelming all the heroes.

But at this moment, she was convinced by Xu Qi'an's miraculous skills and was willing to bow down.

Well, not only is she powerful, but she is also very humble and low-key, much better than those men who look down on women.

Huh, if the monster hadn't been injured, poisoned, and separated by a layer of water, I might not be able to hit it with one arrow. Xu Qi'an took away the army crossbow. It's a pity that this crossbow can only be shot three times, and its durability is too poor.

After three shots, it becomes an ordinary military crossbow.

It was supposed to save lives, but it's a pity to use it to deal with monsters.

Following his gaze, Lu Qing also noticed this plain-looking military crossbow, and was immediately taken aback when he saw it.

The military crossbow is engraved with complex and mysterious array patterns, reminiscent of the aura surging when the arrow is shot, it is not difficult to guess that this is a magic weapon.

The beater only has the gong as a magic weapon, is this his own private property? He said that he was able to invite the magician of the Sitianjian. It turned out that it was not a boast. Lu Qing's impression of this man changed again, and his favorability increased.

Xu Qi'an turned his body sideways, not letting her continue to look at his baby, and said with a smile:

"If you don't catch it, it will be washed away. It's a big credit."

Lu Qing pursed his lips with a reserved smile and nodded.

The two entered the river together and dragged the monster's body ashore.

At this time, Song Tingfeng supported Zhu Guangxiao, and staggered out of the forest.

"You killed it?" Song Tingfeng couldn't hide his smile, feeling relieved.

The taciturn Zhu Guangxiao let out a long breath.

"How are you?" Xu Qi'an was concerned about Zhu Guangxiao's injury.

Mu Hulu shook his head: "It's not a problem, it's just two broken ribs."

The four of them took a rest on the bank of the river, and the two policemen in the refinement realm led Li Chang down the mountain.

Seeing the corpse of the monster, the chief was angry and frightened, stepped forward cautiously, kicked it, and fled with the agility that a bad old man shouldn't have.

After waiting for a few seconds, seeing that there was no response, I was relieved, and rushed over to punch and kick, impotent and furious.

After venting his anger, the Li Chang knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Qi'an and others.

Xu Qi'an waved his hand: "Let me ask you, when was the cave in the south mined?"

The village chief thought for a while: "That is the kiln left over from before. There are not many limestones in the south, and the road is not easy to walk. It was abandoned many years ago. It is old. I don't know when it was mined like this."

Xu Qi'an said again: "Did people often go there before?"

The head of the village said: "There are not many people."

You can just say that occasionally someone will not leave, and Xu Qi'an slandered me, saying: "You go back first, and wait for the government to summon you."

The bad old man was kicked by Zhu Guangxiao just now and suffered some minor injuries, Xu Qi'an saw him clutching his waist all the time.

Lu Qing had no objection to Xu Qi'an's handling, and immediately asked a colleague to send the village chief back.

The remaining people breathed and adjusted on the spot, regained their strength, and replenished water and food.

A quarter of an hour later, three horses pulled the corpse of the monster and walked slowly along the official road.

On the way, Lu Qing described Xu Qi'an's magical operation vividly, and his words were filled with admiration.

Song Tingfeng rode his horse close to Xu Qi'an, and said softly like a mosquito: "She seems to have a good impression of you."

Xu Qi'an responded softly: "What do you want to say?"

Song Tingfeng said: "Lu Butou is quite famous in the six gates of the capital, and he is not yet married. Every man longs to be a lone traveler on a certain road, doesn't he?"

In this era, she is an older leftover girl. Xu Qi'an smiled: "Then work hard."

Song Tingfeng narrowed his eyes, sighed and shook his head: "People like me are only suitable for Jiaofang Division."

Xu Qi'an smiled and said, "Even if the tree-lined path you yearn for is covered with hoarfrost every morning and dusk?"

Zhu Guangxiao frowned, unable to understand what the two colleagues were playing.

"By the way, what was your move just now?" Xu Qi'an asked.

"The Xiaofeng Sword Art." Song Tingfeng said.

The swordsmanship that Lu Butou used in the battle just now, like a cutting machine, is also a unique skill, etc., swordsmanship? !

Xu Qi'an stared at the knife on Song Tingfeng's waist.

Song Tingfeng shrugged: "Who said that a knife can't perform swordsmanship."

Yeah yeah, who said you can't stab someone without a gun? Xu Qi'an slandered in his heart.

While chatting and laughing, they saw a group of people coming from Moshang and gathering towards the official road.

The leader was none other than the head of the village, as well as the refining policeman who sent him back.

The policeman shook his head helplessly: "They insist on coming over to thank us."

The chief held a basket of eggs in his hand, and held it up high in front of Xu Qi'an, "This is all the eggs that our village collected, my lord, please take it.

In the past six months, we really couldn't live any longer. If it wasn't for a few adults who eradicated the evildoers for us, to say something lawless, we couldn't pay taxes, and we could only run away and become refugees. "

Xu Qi'an stared at the anxious eyes of the head of the village, and glanced at the yellow and thin faces of the gray households.

"Okay!" He smiled and took a basket of eggs and hung them on the saddle.

The people around smiled, and only then did they dare to discuss loudly, pointing at the corpse of the monster and cursing endlessly.

If I insist on not wanting it, I will tell them loudly: Don't take people's needles and threads!

It would probably scare them.

Xu Qi'an sighed silently.

After returning to the capital, the corpse of the monster was received by the white servants waiting outside the city. They pulled it onto a cart, covered it with a white cloth, and took care of the traces before entering the city.

"The matter of the saltpeter mine is not small, and it has to be reported." Song Tingfeng cracked an egg and swallowed the egg liquid.

The parasite warned Xu Qi'an and nodded.

When they returned to the watchman's yamen, the three of them went directly to Chunfengtang before they had time to write a report, and told Li Yuchun what had happened.

After listening to Brother Chun, he looked solemn.

"You've done a good job, Xu Qi'an, you've made a great contribution." Li Yuchun walked up to the three of them, and personally arranged their clothes neatly.

He returned to his seat and pondered: "What do you think?"

The three gongs looked at each other, Song Tingfeng said:

"According to Xu Ningyan's analysis, the monster is consciously driving away the gray households, and after our investigation, it is definitely not a coincidence that we found a saltpeter mine in the mountains."

"Is there any more specific and powerful analysis results?" Li Yuchun asked.

Song Tingfeng spread his hands, "Boss, I'm good at killing people, I'll handle the case"

It's just so-so.

The three of them looked at Xu Qi'an at the same time, Li Yuchun looked expectantly: "Ning Yan, what do you think?"

The three of them have experienced Xu Qi'an's ability to deliberate cases.

Although he is just a newcomer who has just stepped into the Qi training realm, with him around, he always feels inexplicably at ease.

People subconsciously rely on the strong in areas that they are not good at.

Xu Qi'an thought for a while, and said: "Then let me make an addition, I can now be sure that the reason why the monster drives away the gray households around is to monopolize the saltpeter mine.

"In the beginning, I thought it might be a passerby who chose to lay eggs in the Dahuangshan watershed and returned to the capital. I found that it was a male.

"There is just one problem that I can't figure out. Why do monsters focus on saltpeter mines? Apart from medicine, this thing can also be used to make gunpowder."

Of course, saltpeter has other functions, but Xu Qi'an feels that the generation gap of the times is too deep, so it is better not to mention it.

He subconsciously glanced at Li Yuchun, but was shocked to find that the other party was taken aback and froze there, as if he had figured out something.

"It's the monster clan, it's the monster clan," he murmured.

Li Yuchun didn't explain, he spread out the paper and wrote quickly.

Song Tingfeng took Xu Qi'an to the study room to fill out the "injury" paperwork.

"After writing this, we can rest for two days, and we don't have to be on duty tomorrow." Song Tingfeng said: "You have to learn to seek interests for yourself properly."

This is the legendary work injury, no, paid vacation Xu Qi'an deeply agrees with the wit of his colleagues.

After leaving the study room, it was already dusk, Xu Qi'an planned to go home and rest.

Song Tingfeng stopped him and said, "Didn't we agree to go to the Jiaofang Division tonight?"

Xu Qi'an was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhu Guangxiao who was following Song Tingfeng, and said in surprise:

"Is your injury okay?"

Zhu Guangxiao said in a deep voice: "The woman of the Jiaofang Division knows how to serve people."

That is to say, they can move by themselves? Xu Qi'an cupped his hands towards him.

Indeed, how could one give up the pleasure of socializing among colleagues for a minor injury like a broken bone.

It doesn't matter if you don't go home, the second uncle knows that the watchmen have to be on duty at night. And my aunt, um, she obviously doesn't pay attention to whether I go home or not, she just whines at me all day long.

Xu Qi'an, who is not going home tonight, wants to have a dinner party with two colleagues that is in line with Dafeng's officialdom.

Destination: Jiaofang Division!

He has experienced many similar entertainments in his previous life, but the form has changed from a dinner party to a visit to a kiln.

In Dafeng, or this era, brothels are the preferred place for socializing.

The badge of the policeman made the three of them ignore the curfew in the inner city, and when they met their colleagues who were also the policeman, they turned a blind eye after being questioned routinely.

The three of them were walking in the alley of Jiaofangsi, and Song Tingfeng, who squinted his eyes when he laughed, said: "In the future, when you patrol at night and meet colleagues near Jiaofangsi, you can close your eyes. If you meet them in other areas, It’s best not to relax. You can’t guarantee what they’re going to do in the middle of the night.”

"I once heard an example from an old man. There was once a gangster who had a grudge with others. He found someone's house at night and wiped out the door. Afterwards, he couldn't find out. It took a lot of thought to lock down the same gangster. murderer of people.

"We'll talk about the details when we have a tea circle."

Xu Qi'an smiled and nodded.

Insiders in these circles are very valuable experience. When encountering jealous colleagues or colleagues who like to intrigue, people may not be willing to tell you.

"By the way, which courtyard are we going to?" Zhu Guangxiao, who cherishes words like gold, said.

"Shadow Plum Pavilion."

"Just find one."

There were two answers, the first one was from Xu Qi'an, and the second one was from Song Tingfeng.

Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng looked at Xu Qi'an together, their eyes seemed to say: What do you think?

Song Tingfeng smiled and patted his new colleague on the shoulder: "Miss Fuxiang's Dachawei is ten taels of silver, and she rarely accompanies guests, and usually there are only guests in Dachawei for a few days in a row, but no guests entering the curtain. It's a clever way"

Hunger marketing, I understand Xu Qi'an remembered, the two of them didn't know that they designed to frame Zhou Li, so it was impossible to publicize such an inside story. They didn't know that he had slept with Fuxiang Huakui once.

Simply just sleep.

Zhu Guangxiao reminded: "Miss Fuxiang doesn't like us."

He didn't talk much, but what he said was either pertinent or well-meaning.

The two colleagues didn't want to go to Yingmei Xiaoge to waste money, Xu Qi'an thought for a while, and said: "Just think of it as an eye-opener, I will pay for the money in Chawei."

As a newcomer, it is a customary means of socializing to invite seniors in the company to eat seafood.

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao smiled, no one would refuse a kind treat.

Not long after, they arrived at the gate of Yingmei Xiaoge courtyard.

Xu Qi'an looked at the courtyard where the sound of silk and bamboo was coming from, and said to himself, I'm ashamed to come here.

PS: This chapter is terribly long.
