Nightwatcher

There is a refreshing fragrance in the room, which at first smells like the fragrance of flowers, but when you taste it carefully, you feel it is more advanced than the fragrance of flowers. After smelling it for a long time, people will enter a very comfortable state.

This is Mu Nanzhi's unique body fragrance, which contains a slight undead tree spirit, which can relieve the fatigue and pain of the creatures living around her, and prolong life.

Xu Qi'an glanced at the woman lying on the side of the bed, and was not in a hurry to get on the bed. He went around the screen and took a look. The bathtub was filled with water, and white chrysanthemums and red rose petals were floating on the surface of the water.

It was obviously the bath water that Mu Nanzhi had used when she took a bath before going to bed.

usually the next day

He immediately took off his robe and boots, and stepped into the tub. The water in the tub had already cooled down, and it was more comfortable to be cold and refreshing. Xu Qi'an leaned against the wall of the tub, looked up at the roof and let his head go blank, without thinking about anything.

Half an hour later, outside the screen, Mu Nanzhi's angry voice came from Jinta:

"Have you finished washing?"

Xu Qi'an still stared at Liang Mu, humming:

"Okay, since you've woken up a long time ago, why don't you come to wait for your husband to take a bath? Do you still have family law in your eyes?"

"Husband?" Mu Nanzhi sneered:

"The woman you married back with eight palanquins is sleeping soundly in the yard next door. What does it have to do with me. To me, you are just a rebellious junior."

Xu Qi'an immediately changed his face, jumped out of the tub, flung himself onto the bed meanly, and said with a smile:

"Aunt Mu, the junior attendant is here."

During the trot, the water stains will evaporate automatically.

"roll!"

Mu Nanzhi had no choice but to take his cheap look, rolled up the blanket, and rolled herself into a chicken roll, with the back of her head facing him.

Losing his temper again, Xu Qi'an glanced at the thin quilt, and threatened:

"Believe it or not, I'll poke you with a toothpick."

Mu Nanzhi ignored him.

Xu Qi'an forced his way in. Suddenly, there was the sound of struggling and resisting from the bed, and then the silk pajamas and pajamas were thrown out, followed by the supple and pink apron.

Accompanied by Mu Nanzhi's muffled hum, all movement stopped, and a few seconds later, the carved bed began to make a "creak" sound.

The bed curtain swayed slightly, and the thin quilt undulated.

Unknowingly, an hour passed, the movement in the room disappeared, and calm returned. Mu Nanzhi was lying on the pillow, with her arms resting on her chin, squinting her eyes, her face blushing like a drunk.

Xu Qi'an lay on her back, kissing her neck, shoulders, and jade back that was delicate and silky.

"Tsk, Aunt Mu's body is so addictive."

Xu Qi'an joked.

Mu Nanzhi didn't bother to pay attention to him, enjoying the peace after the storm.

"When the catastrophe is over, let's continue to travel around Kyushu, to the Western Regions or the Northeast." Xu Qi'an whispered.

Mu Nanzhi opened her eyes and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just let out a soft "hmm".

After a while she said:

"I'm homesick."

She was referring to the small yard. She used to live as an ordinary woman, and she had to worry about cooking and washing clothes every day. When she was free, she would wonder why a certain smelly man didn't come today.

If he missed the time, he secretly vowed in his heart that he would buy arsenic and pour it into the vegetable soup to feed him.

"Wait later!" Xu Qi'an sniffed the fragrance in her hair and said:

"But you have to keep doing the laundry, the cooking, the chickens, the flowers."

Mu Nanzhi hurriedly said:

"Then you need two servant girls."

"Okay!" Xu Qi'an nodded.

She thought for a while and added:

"Be ugly."

"good"

Only then did Mu Nanzhi feel at ease, and he hummed and said:

"I can't live with the bracelet all the time, but if I take off the bracelet, your aunt, sister, and friends will feel ashamed."

If this was said by another woman, Xu Qi'an would spit on her face.

But who made her the god of flowers.

Xu Qi'an got off her back, groped in the bed for a while, took out a soft pillow from between Mu Nanzhi's legs, looked at the soft pillow covered with water stains, and threw it away helplessly.

"Let's sleep on a pillow."

He hugged Mu Nanzhi in his arms, a delicate and soft body clung to him imperceptibly.

Time passed quietly, and the east side was gradually revealing fishy white, Xu Qi'an gently opened Mu Nanzhi's lotus root arm that was wrapped around his neck.

The latter's eyelashes trembled and he woke up.

"I still have something important to do, so I need to go out immediately." Xu Qi'an whispered.

Flower God knew that it was a troubled time recently, so she withdrew her hand without asking any further questions or persuading her to stay.

Xu Qi'an put on his clothes, raised his hand, and made the big eyeballs on his wrist light up. He disappeared into Mu Nanzhi's boudoir, and the next moment, he came to Ye Ji's boudoir.

Before the time of Mao, the sky was dark.

The east is already exposed, and outside the Meridian Gate, all officials gather.

"The cabinet issued an order yesterday, ordering the chief envoys of the two prefectures of Lei and Chu to move the people from the 24 border counties to the east. Why?"

"But the countries of the Western Regions are going to go to war with me?"

"I haven't received any news yet. Today's court thinks it's for this matter."

"Why are we going to war again? It is not easy for the imperial court to quell the chaos in Yunzhou. This time it has been less than a year. How can we stand such a toss? If your majesty wants to use swords and swords recklessly, I will definitely dissuade you."

The ministers gathered together in twos and threes, discussing in low voices.

The eunuch monitoring discipline not far away pretended not to hear.

While waiting for the court meeting, the officials are not allowed to talk, even coughing and spitting will be recorded, but this system has gradually become a decoration, as long as it is not loud or fighting in public, the eunuchs will not record it.

Yesterday, the cabinet issued a decree that most officials in the capital couldn't understand-the people of the 24 counties on the border between Leichu and Chuzhou moved eastward!

What nonsense!

Although the two prefectures of Lei and Chu have a large area and a small population, because of the barren relationship, there are almost no large counties and prosperous counties.

But the combined population of the twenty-four counties still exceeds one million.

Not to mention how these people are resettled, the migration alone is a huge project, which is a waste of money and people.

The imperial court finally breathed a sigh of relief, and everything was waiting to be done, how could it stand up to such a toss and pretentiousness?

What saddened some officials the most was that the cabinet actually agreed.

It's ridiculous that Wei Yuan is clueless, Zhao Shou is stupid, and Wang Zhenwen's corpse is a vegetarian meal!

Do you know how to govern the world, do you know how to handle government affairs?

"Your Excellency Yang is right, I'll wait until I die!"

"How can you be so nonsense, dead remonstrance!"

The ministers spoke loudly.

Members of the royal party and the Wei party could not understand the operation of the two leaders, and shook their heads and sighed.

In the sound of bells and drums, when Maoshi arrives, all officials enter through the two side doors of the Meridian Gate. After crossing the Jinshui Bridge and the square, the princes enter the Jinluan Hall, and the rest of the officials are arranged on both sides of Danbi, or on the square.

A few minutes later, the empress, dressed in a dragon robe and with exquisite makeup, came with her hands behind her back, boarded the throne, and sat on the dragon chair.

"His Majesty!"

After the beginning of the performance, the household department acted as the team leader in the matter, and went out to bow:

"The twenty-four counties and counties in the two prefectures of Lei and Chu have a large population. The eastward relocation is a waste of people and money. It cannot be done. Please take back your order."

Immediately afterwards, all the ministries spoke up to persuade Huaiqing to take back his order.

The meaning of giving things is to dissuade the emperor from improper behavior.

In our opinion, the empress has made a huge mistake right now, and this is the best opportunity for her to go down in history or become famous.

Seeing this, Liu Hong, the backbone of Wei Yuan, took a look at Da Tsing Yi who was standing still in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and came out and said:

"Your Majesty, the adults are right.

"The Mahayana Buddhists will soon arrive at the settlement assigned to them by the imperial court. There are more than 200,000 people, and they all eat horse chews, and all they eat are money and food from the imperial court.

"Besides, the autumn harvest is just around the corner. How can we move the people of the twenty-four counties to the east at this critical moment?"

After Huaiqing listened quietly, he said gently:

"The day before yesterday, the Buddha came to Leizhou in person, intending to annex Dafeng!"

A simple sentence was like a thunderbolt in the ears of the princes in the palace. They suddenly raised their heads in shock, and looked at the empress on the throne in disbelief.

The Buddha came to Leizhou in person and wanted to annex Dafeng? !

All the princes in the palace are scholars, and the cultivation base of Xungui is not too strong, but they are in high positions, and they understand very well what super grade means.

Represents invincibility!

Therefore, when they heard that the Buddha wanted to annex Dafeng, the ministers were suddenly startled, filled with suffocating fear.

But immediately it felt wrong, if the Buddha wanted to target Dafeng, how could the Empress sit still in the dragon chair and not rush?

Will the cabinet do nothing, not send troops and generals, but just move the border people to the east?

Before the dukes were confused for too long, Huaiqing told them the answer:

"Xu Yinluo has been promoted to a half-step Martial God, and he fought Buddha in Leizhou the night before and repelled him.

"However, even though the Buddha retreated, he would make a comeback at any time. The battle between super-grade and half-step warriors would destroy the world at every turn, so I want to move the people of the twenty-four counties to the east."

Another thunderstorm.

The princes stared blankly at Huaiqing, for a long time, someone quietly picked his ears.

The household department who took the lead in admonishing Huaiqing was confused and said:

"Your Majesty, my minister, I don't understand.

"What, is a half-step Valkyrie?"

The word Martial God sounded unfamiliar, and it took a lot of effort for you to remember that the pinnacle of the martial arts system is called Martial God.

The name chosen by the Confucian sage, but the Confucian sage has passed away for more than 1,200 years, and there has never been a Martial God in the world.

Wei Yuan turned around, looked around at the princes, and spoke softly and forcefully:

"You just need to know that a half-step martial god can compete with a super-rank warrior, and can easily kill a first-rank martial artist."

The head of the household department was "buzzing" in the incident.

Has Xu Yinluo become so powerful? !

If I remember correctly, the national teacher, no, when Luo Dao crossed the tribulation for the first time, he and Xu Yinluo were both promoted to the first rank. It has only been a long time, and he has grown into a character who can compete with the super rank. The princes were shocked. Inexplicably much more stable.

The fear and panic caused by Huaiqing's words just now dissipated a lot.

At least in the face of Chaopin, Dafeng is not helpless.

Liu Hong said in a deep voice:

"Why did the Buddha attack the court?"

The princes frowned one after another, this was also something they were puzzled by.

Since ancient times, more than 1,200 years after the Confucian saints, no matter how Dafeng and Wushen Sect fought, the Wushen remained indifferent, and so did the Buddha.

How could they annex the Central Plains for no reason.

Regarding this, Huaiqing had already spoken in a clear and clear voice:

"Liu Aiqing thought, why did Buddhism suddenly break with the Central Plains and support the Central Plains? Annexing the Central Plains was the Buddha's intention, which had been revealed as early as the Yunzhou Rebellion.

"Yunzhou was defeated, Xu Yinluo and the national teacher were promoted to the first rank, and the Buddha naturally wanted to do it himself."

The princes nodded and did not ask any more questions.

You don't need to be willing to fight between the two countries. Annexation is an eternal truth.

Liu Hong's question just now was just wondering why the Buddha, who had always avoided the world, suddenly ended up in person.

Huaiqing glanced across the hall and asked:

"Is there anyone who disagrees?"

All the ministries were silent on the matter, and the rest of the officials had no reason to refute.

Huaiqing nodded slightly, and then talked about the second thing:

"Last night, Xu Yinluo went to Jingshan City in person to force the witch god to take all the wizards of the Three Kingdoms into his body for protection. From then on, there will be no wizards in Kyushu, and I, Dafeng, will take over the three kingdoms of Yanjingkang."

The third thunder came!

If the Buddha's death in person made the hearts of the princes heavy, then at this time, when they heard that the Witch God Sect was "destroyed" and the territory of the Three Kingdoms was returned to Dafeng, the expressions of the princes were ecstasy and astonishment.

The great fortune that fell from the sky almost knocked this group of scholars into a coma.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, really?!"

It was not the civil servant who spoke, but Prince Yu. The prince with slightly frosted temples had a strange flush on his face, his lips trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes were fixed on Huaiqing.

The most excited is the royal family.

Huaiqing nodded:

"Above the Golden Luan Palace, I'm not joking."

Open up the border and expand the land, open up the frontier and expand the land. These four words are the only words left in King Yu's mind.

"Your Majesty has done something that the ancestors failed to do, and the merits will last for thousands of years."

A prince wept with joy.

"This is also Xu Yinluo's contribution." A county king nearby quickly corrected him.

There was a commotion in the Jinluan Hall, and all the officials whispered to each other with excitement on their faces.

The palm print eunuch shook the whip in his hand, this time, he didn't blow it to scold him.

Looking at the excited and excited ministers, Huaiqing smiled:

"What do you think, how should you take over the Three Kingdoms?"

The emotions of civil and military officials were agitated, and when the court meeting was in an unprecedented heat, Xu Qi'an started the third step of his time management.

In the boudoir, Ye Ji woke up on the bed immediately, opened her beautiful eyes, and saw clearly that the unexpected guest was Xu Qi'an, she was not surprised, and smiled coquettishly:

"Xu Lang!"

Xu Qi'an glanced at the obscene trousers in the bellyband hanging on the screen, and said:

"You'll save me trouble."

The curtain shook, and Jinta, who had recuperated for several months, began to moan in pain again.

After the rain cleared and the clouds dispersed, Ye Ji lay sweating in Xu Qi'an's arms, resting her head on his chest, and said with a smile:

"What does Xu Lang think of your empress?"

Xu Qi'an asked back:

"Where do you mean?"

Ye Ji blinked her beautiful eyes, "The nine-tailed celestial fox family likes strong men, especially women, and they have no resistance to strong men. Xu Lang is already a half-step martial god, and I think my empress has coveted you for a long time.

"Hasn't Xu Lang ever thought about marrying his mother? Besides, Ye Ji's seven younger sisters will also be married."

Why marry home? Is the noisy house restless? Xu Qi'an complained in his heart.

Although the fox has a thin waist, slender legs, long buttocks, a flowery face, and a temperament that is inverting all sentient beings, he is a rare stunner, but the character of the vixen is really a headache.

If she got into the fish pond, then Mu Nanzhi and Luo Yuheng would have to join forces, Huaiqing and Lin'an would have to clear up their old suspicions, and Li Miaozhen would be in charge of fighting against the vixen and the eight vixies under the vixen's command.

Oh no, seven vixens.

Xiang Xiaoyu lost one person, as for Bai Ji, she was still a child.

Xu Qi'an said righteously:

"I am just an ordinary daoist relationship with the king, and you are enough."

Ye Ji looked regretful:

"It's a pity, why don't you think about it, Xu Lang? Ye Ji knows that if so many sisters come here as dowries, outsiders will say that Xu Lang is a coquettish and lustful woman, which will give you a bad reputation. But Ye Ji won't care."

Xu Lang shook his head:

"No need to say any more."

Ye Ji obediently responded, lowered her head for a moment, and showed a satisfied smile.

The smell of tea in the room could catch up with Lingyue's room. Xu Qi'an complained to her, and seeing that the sky was already bright, he said in a deep voice:

"I'm going out to do errands, so you have a good rest."

Xu Mansion, inner hall.

Wearing a pink dress, Xu Lingyue walked into the living room with the big maid beside her, stepping on tiny lotus leaves. Looking left and right for a while, she saw her mother playing with the potted plants on the high stand.

Aunt Mu, the mother's sworn sister, was also beside her, muttering something.

Younger sister Xu Lingyin stared blankly at the red oranges by the door for viewing.

The boarder Lina squatted beside another tangerine plant in a daze.

Sister-in-law Lin'an was wearing a high-necked and narrow-sleeved shirt, talking with her aunt Ji Baiqing who came over to drink tea.

Xu Lingyue said softly:

"Mom, where's the elder brother?"

Seeing a whole room of female relatives looking over (except Xu Lingyin), Xu Lingyue hurriedly explained:

"Brother asked me to help make the robe. I created a new cloud pattern and wanted to ask him if he liked it, but I got up early in the morning and went to the house to look for him, but he was not there."

"He's out to do some errands." Lin'an and Mu Nanzhi said in unison.

The inner hall was quiet for a while, Ji Baiqing hurriedly said with a smile:

"Your elder brother is very busy, maybe you should leave before dawn, Your Highness Lin'an, I am right."

Lin'an said "hmm" expressionlessly.

The expressions of the other female relatives were as usual, they didn't know whether they accepted Ji Baiqing's explanation or pretended to accept it.

At this time, the elder brother's concubine, Ye Ji, led a maidservant, twisted her waist, and entered the inner hall.

Xu Lingyue glanced at her and moved away expressionlessly. Suddenly, the tea art master frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

She raised her head again, looked at Ye Ji again, then glanced at her sister-in-law Lin'an and Aunt Mu calmly, and finally understood what was wrong:

They were all wearing turtlenecks.

This kind of conservative clothes are usually worn when going out, and, although autumn is coming, the residual heat is still coming, so it is not the time to wear this kind of turtleneck.

Wearing such tight clothing is definitely not to keep out the cold, but to cover something shady.

Xu Lingyue is such a smart person, as soon as her thoughts turned, her eyes immediately sank.

At this time, my aunt sighed:

"Is there going to be a war again, otherwise your elder brother wouldn't be so busy."

Lingbao Temple.

The busy elder brother pressed his hands on the snow-white fragrant shoulders and gently kneaded:

"National teacher, I went to sea for several months in a humble position, and I miss you all the time. I think you miss me too."

Luo Yuheng squinted his eyes, enjoying the massage, and said lightly:

"In no mood."

Her clothes were disheveled, the feathers were loosely wrapped around her body, her face was still flushed, obviously her body was not as rigid as her mouth.

Xu Qi'an handled her tightly.

Luo Yuheng has a queen complex, Xu Qi'an coaxed her, called her a national teacher, and claimed to be a humble job, and she got a little better.

The sweet words after that can reap miraculous effects.

If Xu Qi'an called her boudoir name, she wouldn't touch her today.

"Have you figured out how to become a Martial God?" Luo Yuheng asked.

"It's easier said than done." Xu Qi'an sighed.

"When the catastrophe comes, if you can't be promoted to Martial God, I won't accompany you to die for the country. The world is big and the earth is big, you can go anywhere." Luo Yuheng said coldly.

Her words sounded like "I don't like double cultivation" repeated countless times in the past.

"You do what you want, how can the lower officials control the thoughts of the national teacher." Xu Qi'an followed the good advice.

Luo Yuheng gave a satisfied "um", thought for a while, and said calmly:

"Within three months, I will be promoted to the first-rank intermediate class."

Her face is plain white and cold, with a little red cinnabar between her eyebrows, her hair is slightly loose in a bun, and she is wearing a feather robe. She looks like a fairy or a beautiful woman, very attractive.

Xu Qi'an understood her hint, and said in a deep voice:

"The lower officials must do their best to help the national division break through."

Holy Son, I understand your suffering, no matter how you manage time, it is not enough. Xu Qi'an picked her up horizontally and walked towards the big bed.

He finally understood the difficulty of the Son.

Leizhou, Panshan County!

After a long journey, the first group of Mahayana Buddhists finally arrived at their destination.

Zhu Lai was among the first group of Mahayana Buddhists to arrive.

The leader is the young monk Jingsi.

What kind of place will the Central Plains court arrange for us?

This is the most worrying question of every Mahayana Buddhist along the way.
