Nightwatcher

It wasn't just Zhuo Haoran, the high-ranking military officers present were stunned at first, and then cursed.

"The little emperor still has a stubborn temper? Is it because he thinks his life is too short, or is he just sitting on the dragon chair and can't wait for us to drive him down?"

"His grandma, where did the imperial court get the confidence? The treasury is empty, the place is in chaos, and even the prison is gone."

"Hey, since you are not afraid of death, let's fight. When we enter the capital, the little emperor will have to kneel down and cry for mercy."

Ever since Jianzheng was sealed and occupied Qingzhou, the morale of the Yunzhou army has climbed to the peak, and even swelled for a while, thinking that it is a matter of time before the capital is conquered and the Central Plains is taken over.

When talking about the Dafeng court, there is a lot of disdain in the words, with an attitude of overlooking.

Therefore, in the eyes of all the generals, the negotiation was completely alms and pity, how dare the Dafeng court take the initiative to refuse?

They thought that when the Yunzhou army pushed all the way to the capital, when the powerful and invincible extraordinary masters like Guoshi and Jia Luoshu came to the capital, they would be able to fight against it?

Qi Guangbo's face was solemn, waiting for the generals to vent their emotions, he knocked on the table and said:

"The information sent back by secret agents of Tianji Palace is that Xu Qi'an forced Yongxing to abdicate and supported the eldest princess Huaiqing to ascend the throne."

The Yunzhou military generals who were still emotional and clamoring a moment ago lost their voices collectively after hearing Qi Guangbo's words, and looked at each other with astonishment and shock on their faces.

This news was indeed shocking and caught people off guard. But its nature is more inclined to "nonsense" and "outrageous", and it actually supports a woman to become the throne?

"Pfft~" Someone couldn't hold back and laughed out loud:

"Why, the guy surnamed Xu has nowhere to go? He came up with such a foolish trick."

"That's right, when a woman ascends the throne, he thinks that the chaos in the Central Plains is not thorough enough? Even if the princes in the capital are afraid of his military power and dare not rebel immediately, as soon as he leaves the capital, the empress may turn around and be poisoned." wine, or died in the palace for no apparent reason." Zhuo Haoran sneered.

As a bloodthirsty butcher, women are like playthings in his eyes, and they deserve to sit on the dragon chair?

Yang Chuannan shook his head and laughed:

"As a result, the hearts of the people in the capital are fluctuating, and I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to fight us together. When the national teacher refines Qingzhou's luck and sends his troops to the north, it will not take long for the capital to be smashed."

The other generals laughed, some ridiculed, some disdainful, some ridiculed, but they didn't care so much about the failure of the peace negotiation.

Ji Xuan and Ge Wenxuan looked at each other, although they were confused and at a loss, they did not rush to join the generals, but looked at Qi Guangbo.

"Yes, it is indeed a risky move to support the eldest princess to ascend the throne."

Qi Guangbo looked around at the crowd and said slowly:

"If I tell you that he not only supported the woman's ascension to the throne, but also stabilized the court in a very short period of time, and on the day when the eldest princess ascended the throne, the capital was full of flowers. It is the destiny, and it is to save the precarious Dafeng.

"What do you think, so what?"

The atmosphere of laughter in the hall suddenly fell silent.

The smiles on the faces of the generals disappeared, and they looked at each other silently, wanting to see the reaction of their colleagues.

Ge Wenxuan said:

"He forced Yongxing to abdicate in order to support a puppet to be the emperor, so that he would have no worries. But since it is a puppet, wouldn't it be better to choose an ignorant child? Why did he take such a risky move and support a woman to be in power?"

Someone said "hey":

"The empress must be as beautiful as a flower, and she may already be the concubine of Xu Qi'an. It is well known that Xu Qi'an is a romantic woman."

Ge Wenxuan frowned and said:

"A person who only thinks of his enemies as idiots is an out-and-out idiot."

Ji Xuanlue murmured:

"According to the relevant information of the Dafeng royal family, the eldest princess Huaiqing is a well-known talented woman in Beijing. She once studied at Yunlu Academy. During Yuan Jing's reign, she was an editor of Hanlin. She is not an ordinary woman."

Because of her background, Ji Xuan paid special attention to the members of the Dafeng imperial family. The generals present might not know the details of a princess, but Ji Xuan knew it all.

"Just because of this?"

Zhuo Haoran understood what Ji Xuan meant, the talented eldest princess may be more powerful than Yongxing, but out of prejudice against women, he still has a disdainful attitude.

Qi Guangbo knocked on the table again and said:

"When the news came from the spies from Tianji Palace, the mission to Beijing was still there. Xu Qi'an stayed and did not kill him. Presumably he wanted to make a deal with us."

Everyone looked at Ji Xuan together.

If it is an ordinary bastard, the weight is limited, and he will definitely not give the opportunity to speak loudly to the lion of the imperial court.

But this concubine is the younger brother (not a twin) of Ji Xuan's mother, and as Ji Xuan is a third-rank warrior in the direct line of Yunzhou, his status is detached, so his younger brother is naturally not comparable to ordinary bastards.

Ji Xuan said in a deep voice:

"Everything is determined by the general."

He took a step back.

Qi Guangbo said:

"Three days later, gather troops and enter the territory of Yongzhou. Besiege the city without attacking, and put pressure on the Dafeng court. Then send envoys to contact Yang Gong and force them to release them."

Ge Wenxuan nodded:

"In this way, we can exchange for Mr. Ji Yuan at a small price."

Gathering troops is not only exerting pressure, but also showing a strong attitude, cutting off the opportunity of Dafeng court lion to open his mouth.

The generals in the hall heard this and geared up excitedly.

"I can't wait."

"The soldiers are looking forward to attacking Yongzhou day and night."

"Forgive them for not daring not to hand over Mr. Ji Yuan."

Qingzhou City, in a mansion less than three miles away from the chief envoy.

Xu Pingfeng sat cross-legged, and a series of forces invisible to ordinary people gathered towards the mansion, turning into a stream of light and entering the body of the white-clothed warlock.

These forces are condensed at the dantian, forming a cloudy air mass.

Xu Pingfeng held the air mass with both palms, refining the "impurities" in the air mass little by little, making it clear and flawless.

The core ability of a qi practitioner is to refine and purify a state's qi, then integrate it into his own body, and then use the refined qi to mobilize the power of all living beings.

When the luck is strong enough to a certain level, and a qualitative change occurs, you can be promoted to a destiny master, spy on the future, and become the world's top chess player.

The sound of flapping wings sounded from the courtyard, and a carrier pigeon landed steadily in the courtyard.

Xu Pingfeng opened his eyes, took the semi-turbid air mass into his dantian, then stretched out his hand and "grabbed" the carrier pigeon in the courtyard, and what the carrier pigeon brought was a letter from Qi Guangbo.

Xu Pingfeng read the contents of the note, thought for a while, and wiped the paper with his fingertips.

The black writing disappeared and turned into a single word:

Can!

He stuffed the note back into the bamboo tube on the carrier pigeon's foot, threw it lightly, then got up, took a step to the left, and came to the meditation room next door.

The temperature in the room was as hot as midsummer, and the Bodhisattva Gala Tree sat cross-legged, his neck was no longer empty, and his head had been regenerated.

"The peace negotiation failed."

Xu Pingfeng laughed.

Gala Tree Bodhisattva opened his eyes, his serious face showed no other expressions, and said slowly:

"The supervisor really stayed behind.

"However, what kind of cards will give him the confidence to fight us?"

Xu Pingfeng stood with his hands behind his back and said with a light smile:

"You don't know him well enough, you dare to fight us to the death, it may not be because you have confidence, if you are desperate, you will die.

"Even if Mr. Jianzheng kept his hole card, it is impossible for him to be directly promoted to the first rank. It is nothing more than a means to increase his combat power, and Luo Yuheng is about to cross the tribulation, promote to the first rank, and equalize part of his combat power.

"It gave him some confidence."

Gala Tree Bodhisattva nodded slightly.

Xu Pingfeng went on to say:

"Send troops to Yongzhou in three days, and we will find out at that time."

"White Emperor hasn't returned to the mainland of Kyushu yet?" Jialuoshu Bodhisattva asked.

"It will take some time." Xu Pingfeng said.

No one knows what that descendant of God and Demon is doing overseas and what he is planning.

Of course, if Xu Pingfeng investigated deliberately, he could still find clues, but it was unnecessary.

Doing so will only damage the alliance relationship, and the gain will not be worth the loss.

Si Tianjian.

On the gossip table, Xu Qi'an sat cross-legged at the table, watching the various forms of life in the capital, feeling the power of all beings.

There was a flash of light behind him, and Sun Xuanji in fluttering white clothes appeared behind him with Guardian Yuan.

"Is the injury healed?"

Xu Qi'an couldn't sit still, leaving a man and an ape with a tall and straight back, just like the prisoner back then.

Yuan Hufa first looked at Sun Xuanji, then looked back at Xu Qi'an's back, and said:

"Okay seven seven eight eight."

Xu Qi'an nodded, and took out a kit from his bosom:

"What's inside will tell you what to do next."

Sun Xuanji took the bag without opening it, and silently looked at Xu Qi'an's back.

Yuan Hufa's considerate translation:

"Are you imitating Teacher Jianzheng? But I think you are more like Junior Brother Yang!"

Xu Qi'an let out a "huh" and didn't answer.

Yuan Hufa's understanding translation:

"Xu Yinluo's heart told me: don't compare me with the King of Kings, I'm not cosplaying, I'm imitating Zhuge Liang. I'm so careless, don't worry about this dead monkey, I'm going to eat monkey brains tonight. "

Yuan Hufa suddenly woke up, broke free from the immersive reading, silently shrank behind Sun Xuan's body, and said tremblingly:

"Please give me a chance."

Sun Xuanji unfolded the kit, glanced at it, and said "Mmm", the patterns spread under his feet, and he teleported away with Yuan Hufa.

Yuan Hufa was relieved, feeling that he had saved his life.

At the same time, he realized that his mind-reading ability was advanced, and he could see through Xu Yinluo's thoughts even if he didn't restrain his thoughts.

For a while, I didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

As soon as Sun Xuanji left, Xu Qi'an rose against the wind and flew towards Lingbao Temple.

After returning to Beijing for many days, he hadn't been to Lingbao Temple. At first he was in the mood and didn't have the time, but later on, he was too busy cultivating with the God of Flowers, so he voluntarily ignored the national teacher.

After all, the national teacher must know about the double cultivation between him and Mu Nanzhi, and going to trouble at this time is not the desire for survival that a fish pond owner should have.

But now he has to go to Lingbao Temple.

Lingbao Temple.

Luo Yuheng sat cross-legged above the pool, meditating with his eyes closed.

Wearing a feather coat and a lotus crown on his head, a little cinnabar between his brows is eye-catching.

Cold and dusty like a nine-day fairy, the immortal energy infiltrated by years of cultivation can instantly kill most women who are "born in the world of mortals".

In the gazebo by the pool, sat a woman hugging a fox cub, tsk tsk said:

"The national teacher is so beautiful, with firm skin, phoenix eyes and vermilion lips, icy muscles and bones, a beauty in the world.

"It really makes a vulgar fan like me envious and jealous."

She looks mediocre, and she is quite old, but the tone of her speech is clearly teasing and joking, and she does not have the slightest inferiority complex.

"Envy, envy, hate!" Bai Ji clapped her paw and echoed.

Mu Nanzhi sighed:

"The beauty of the national teacher is beautiful, but it is pitiful if there is no man to hurt."

Bai Ji said softly, "Poor!"

Mu Nanzhi went on to say:

"It's not like me. Although I'm pretty, there are men who love me anyway."

Suddenly shook his head again, with a sad face: "It's not a good thing, a pervert, and no one will get out of the bed."

On Luo Yuheng's smooth forehead, a blue vein protruded.

She just pretended she didn't hear and continued to meditate.

Outside the small courtyard, separated by a wall.

Quietly leaving Xu Qi'an used the Heavenly Gu's ability of "moving stars and changing battles" to shield his breath, going back and forth from where to go, hiding merit and fame deeply.

"Mu Nanzhi is an idiot who became a national teacher after awakening the flower god spirit, you have been punished, who told you to threaten her back then, anyway, it's none of my business.

"Sisters' internal scrolls are popular these days, Huashen scrolls with Guoshi, Huaiqing scrolls with Lin'an, Lingyue scrolls with Yuanshuang"

Xu Qi'an left Lingbao Temple.

Half a quarter of an hour later, an orange cat jumped up the fence and came to the secluded courtyard.

Mu Nanzhi and Luo Yuheng looked at the orange cat at the same time.

The orange cat didn't panic at all, with a letter in its mouth, it walked gracefully to the edge of the pool and dropped the letter.

Then turn around and walk away.

The national teacher and the flower god frowned together, and said tentatively:

"Xu Qi'an?"

The orange cat came back to his senses, gave a cute "meow" and continued to walk forward.

The two women, who were getting older but still beautiful in appearance, looked away.

Luo Yuheng beckoned to take the envelope, opened it and read it, with a sneer on his face.

"Whose letter?"

Mu Nanzhi asked pretending not to care.

"Xu Qi'an."

Luo Yuheng said lightly.

"What did you write?" Mu Nanzhi's ears immediately perked up.

The corner of Luo Yuheng's mouth twitched, with a calm tone:

"Pray for double cultivation."

At night, gossip platform.

Xu Qi'an held the fragments of the book from the ground, followed by the faint starlight, staring at the book on the mirror.

[One: The stronghold of the Demon Dao of the Dizong has been figured out. They are indeed in Qingzhou, and they have joined the rebels in Yunzhou. Now he is in charge of Qingzhou's procuratorial envoy. The general base is in Qingzhou City's Ti Xing Ju Ju Si.

[They are still accustomed to wearing the Taoist robes of Dizong, which are easy to identify. 】

Wei Yuan's Anzi is really powerful! The members of the Tiandihui feel emotional.

[Nine: Alright, then follow the plan, everyone, let's find a place to meet up. 】

[Three: Let's meet in the underground palace outside Yongzhou City. Everyone knows that place, and Yongzhou is close to Qingzhou, so it is convenient to move around. There is no need to come to the capital again. 】

[Eight: The underground palace outside Yongzhou City? 】

Asuro does not know the location of the underground palace.

Chu Yuanzhen sent a letter saying: [Thirty miles south of Yongzhou City, there is a mountain range, you should be able to see us there. Where are you on the eighth? If it's not far away, we can pick you up from Yujian. 】

Asuro's biography refused: [No, it's not too far away, I'm already in the Central Plains. 】

It is only a few thousand miles away from Yongzhou.

[Nine: Well, see you tomorrow Maoshi! 】

All the members replied one after another: [Okay! 】

There will be a good show tomorrow. Xu Qi'an put away the fragments of the book, melted into the shadows, and returned to the house.

Candlelight is like beans.

Mu Nanzhi hugged Bai Ji, and sat at the table to read the picture book and the script.

"why are not you sleeping?"

As Xu Qi'an said, he began to untie his robe, ready to shake the bed creakingly with Flower God.

Mu Nanzhi sneered and said:

"Xu Yinluo didn't go to your national teacher and double cultivation, why did you come to me?"

? Why did I seek double cultivation from a national teacher? It was not time for double cultivation. Luo Yuheng in a normal state was still very resistant to having sex with me. Xu Qi'an didn't understand why she was jealous.

Isn't it showing off its power in the daytime, and the curls are very beautiful!

"What are you talking about?" Xu Qi'an said angrily.

Mu Nanzhi let out a "huh" and didn't bother to talk to him.
