Film and Television: In Joy of Life, he marries Fan Ruoruo!

Chapter 323 Xu Qian'an: Boss! You took someone else's wife by force?

"J-Job change?"

Li Miaozhen's pretty little face was full of questions.

But soon, she understood the meaning of this word. It should be asking her to switch to practicing the skills of other sects and give up Tianzong.

Li Miaozhen did not disbelieve Li Changan's statement, because Li Changan's own Taoism integrated the methods of the Earth Sect and the Human Sect.

The so-called Heaven Sect, Earth Sect, and Human Sect are all divided up artificially. It is also true that there are more than thousands of paths to enlightenment.

However, it is very difficult for Li Miaozhen, who has a strong sense of justice, to betray her master.

"Miao Zhen, if you follow your way of forgetting emotions, you can't help the poor and needy, nor can you be a hero. Since you forget emotions, what do the sufferings and happiness of the people in the world have to do with you?"

Li Miaozhen was silent, because Tianzong's Tai Shang Wang Qing was indeed such a teaching.

After she came down the mountain, she was swept up in the secular world, becoming a female knight and leading people to suppress bandits, which was indeed inconsistent with the teachings of the religion.

"Li Lang... I have received great gratitude from my master."

Li Changan knew that Li Miaozhen couldn't let go of her master yet, but she would figure it out in the future. Now he was just planting the seeds in her heart.

"Miao Zhen, if you practice Taoism against your heart, how can you achieve the Tao? You can also achieve Taoism by being chivalrous and righteous, and valuing friendship and loyalty."

Li Miaozhen said lewdly, "Li Lang, please give me some time to think about it, okay?"

Li Changan said, "Take your time to think about it. Perhaps after we have wiped out the bandit rebellion in Yunzhou, you can make a decision."

"The imperial court has no way to deal with the Yunzhou bandits. I can only do my best. It is not easy to wipe them out completely." Li Miaozhen smiled bitterly.

"The court has received news that Yang Chuannan is supporting the bandits and is the backer of the bandits. The court has already sent people here." Li Changan also took the opportunity to change the subject.

Li Miaozhen said, "Although Yang Chuannan is a member of the Qi Party, he should not be the kind of person who keeps the enemy for himself. I am very good at judging people, and he is not that kind of person."

The Saint of Tianzong pursed her lips, appearing very confident.

Li Changan sighed, "I don't believe him, but I believe you. I came here quietly this time and I have no place to stay..."

Li Miaoxin said sincerely that Li Changan has become a lot worse since he went to the capital.

Thinking back to when the two of them were in Jianzhou, Li Changan was serious and didn't talk much.

It must be those women in the capital who did it!

……

On the official road, a team of more than a hundred people was marching quickly, with the sound of horse hooves and the rumbling of wheels.

"In the early years of Yuan Jing, Yunzhou had a population of 5 million. After that, the population was recorded every 30 years, and it gradually decreased. Six years ago, in the 30th year of Yuan Jing, Yunzhou had a population of 3.5 million. Now, I don't know how many people are left in Yunzhou."

Governor Zhang opened the curtain and was filled with emotion. The population had been reduced by 1.5 million in 30 years, but the actual number of people reduced might be even higher.

The land in Yunzhou is fertile, natural disasters are not frequent, and famine rarely occurs. Under normal circumstances, the population should still have a lot of room for growth.

This is not the era when Xu Qian'an came. Young people dared not get married and have children. The population reached a critical point and the birth rate dropped sharply.

Governor Zhang continued, "Among the population losses, half were due to heavy taxes, and they abandoned their land and became refugees, or sought other ways to make a living, or became bandits. These people are not included in the Yellow Book."

"Then there is the serious problem of banditry, with constant burning, killing and looting. The bandits also rob people in large numbers, which is also a major reason for the population decline."

Xu Qian'an calculated in his mind that Yunzhou's situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse in the past twenty years, and to make matters worse, it all started when Emperor Yuan Jing started practicing Taoism.

Xu Qian'an analyzed in his mind that Emperor Yuan Jing was obsessed with practicing Taoism, and the Wushen Cult felt that they had an opportunity to take advantage of it, so there would inevitably be a war between the Dafeng Dynasty and the countries ruled by the Wushen Cult.

Half a day later, there was suddenly a cloud of dust in front of the team, and it looked like someone was chasing them.

"Everyone, be on alert!" Jiang Luzhong gave an order, and all the night watchmen and Huben Guards drew their swords and put away their crossbows.

Xu Qian'an put his hands on the awning and looked into the distance. He saw a fast horse galloping towards the convoy not far away. Behind the horse were dozens of fierce horses, and the crowd chasing it was shouting and killing.

Moreover, those people actually had powerful crossbows on them, and arrows were chasing them from time to time.

"Bandits are killing people, please save me, sir!" A man's voice came from afar on the back of a horse being chased.

Li Changan could see clearly that on the horse's back was a well-dressed man holding a steel knife, and in front of him was a graceful woman wrapped in a cloak, but her face could not be seen clearly.

At first glance, I thought a man had robbed a woman and her family was chasing after him.

However, because Xu Qian'an knew the man being chased, he felt that the matter was not simple.

"Boss!"

Xu Qian'an, Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng all exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

It turned out that the man who escaped with the woman in his arms was Li Yuchun, who refused to return to the night watchman's office and came to Yunzhou alone to suppress the bandits.

"Hiss! The boss has become so bold that he dares to seize someone else's wife," Song Tingfeng took a breath and ran forward with a long knife raised.

"Boss, let me help you!"

Jiang Luzhong also saw Li Yuchun's appearance and knew that this matter was definitely not simple, so he immediately ordered everyone to support Li Yuchun.

The bandit group chasing Li Yuchun obviously did not expect that a group of police officers would suddenly appear on the official road and rush towards them with ferocious looks.

"Third Master, what should we do?"

"They seem to be government troops, retreat!"

The leader of the bandits was a short and sturdy man with a knife handle on his face. When he heard that his men were cowardly, he immediately started scolding them.

"What are you afraid of? I've killed government troops before. Our village was raided three times and still remained safe and sound. The government troops are all cowards. Kill them all together!"

The Third In Command is not a reckless man, but he cannot afford to make any mistakes in this robbery and assassination mission. If he fails, not only will his position be in jeopardy, but his life will also be in danger.

After he finished speaking, the bandit leader approached Li Yuchun with a few of his best men.

Li Yuchun deflected the arrows and swung his sword to fight back. At this moment, the government troops rushed to him.

In a blink of an eye, the Tiger Guards and the night watchmen rushed up and the two sides started fighting.

As soon as they started fighting, both sides scared the other. The government troops were shocked that these bandits also had weapons and powerful crossbows, and the bandits were shocked how these government soldiers were so strong.

Especially those guys who tied the gong to their chests looked even more ferocious.

Xu Qiyan had made some progress in his visualization method and mastered the Six Divine Techniques. He could blow a bandit's head off with one punch in the crowd. The official road was covered in smoke and dust. The phantom of Xu Qiyan's fist shocked Jiang Luzhong even more.

"Hiss... This kid is only at the eighth level, how can he display the might of a fourth or fifth level martial artist? What kind of powerful martial arts is this? He is indeed an extraordinary disciple of Li Changan."

But just as he was sighing, he suddenly saw Li Yuchun leaping off his horse, holding the woman who was screaming in fear in his arms. Li Yuchun kicked out in the air, and several hurricanes instantly rolled up on the ground. The hurricanes were like wild beasts running, with amazing power. In an instant, the five bandits were directly swept down, and they flew several feet away with blood spurting out of their mouths.

"What kind of move is this! When did Li Yuchun become so powerful!" Jiang Luzhong was stunned.

After seeing this, Xu Qian'an shouted, "Boss, why are you running away when you are so powerful!"

Li Yuchun cursed, "There are too many people here, and they have military crossbows. I'm afraid Miss Yang will be in trouble!"

In the midst of the flying smoke and dust, Xu Qian'an glanced at Miss Yang in Li Yuchun's arms. She was indeed pitiful and charming, especially her trembling peach-like plump body, which was no less beautiful than that of his own aunt.

"Boss! You have good taste!"

Li Yuchun didn't explain much, and kicked out again, directly breaking half of a bandit's body. The scene was extremely bloody and brutal.

He has made great progress in studying the Wind God Leg taught by Li Changan and is now close to the sixth level.

Faced with the Tiger Guards and night watchmen, these mountain bandits were more fragile than paper. Soon more than half of them were killed, and the remaining dozen or so all laid down their weapons and surrendered.

Xu Qian'an and others surrounded Li Yuchun and the woman, looking at them with ill intent.

"Boss, you are so brave. Did you rob the leader's wife?"

Li Yuchun released the woman from his arms, and she immediately knelt on the ground, "Thank you very much for saving my life, and thank you all the officials!"

The woman put down her cloak, revealing a mature and delicate face. She looked to be around thirty years old, but still full of charm. She was an excellent young woman.

Li Yuchun bowed to Jiang Luzhong, then said to Xu Qian'an and others, "Ning Yan, don't joke around, this is Zhou Min's mistress."

Hearing Zhou Min's name, Governor Zhang and Jiang Luzhong were stunned and immediately came to Li Yuchun.

The two were a little surprised. Zhou Min's affairs were only known to them and Xu Qian'an. How could Li Yuchun, who had come to Yunzhou in advance, know about it?

However, due to their trust in Li Yuchun's character and his background of joining Li Changan, both of them tacitly did not investigate further.

Zhou Min was the night watchman who was killed. It was he who exposed that Yang Chuannan, the commander-in-chief of Yunzhou, was colluding with mountain bandits and harboring invaders for his own benefit.

"Yuchun, what's going on?" Jiang Luzhong asked.

Undercover agents like Zhou Min usually have family members in Beijing. If family members are around, it would be easy for the undercover agent to defect.

So, Li Yuchun was talking about the concubine, that is, the lover Zhou Min kept in Yunzhou.

Li Yuchun said, "I was ordered by the Golden Eagle Heroine to secretly protect Miss Yang's safety. She was originally going to Qingzhou secretly, but was robbed and killed on the way."

Xu Qian'an blinked, and then immediately continued, "So the master sent the leader to work for Master Miaozhen, and also taught you such a powerful martial art."

Xu Qian'an had specifically inquired about Li Chang'an's past. Li Miaozhen and Li Chang'an knew each other before, so she was the rival of Xu Lingyue and the two princesses, and the strongest rival.

"Your Six Gods Technique is not weak either." Li Yuchun said truthfully.

Then, he turned the topic to Yang Yingying, "This Miss Yang is going to Qingzhou to report the case and clear Zhou Min's name."

Then he turned to Yang Yingying and said, "Miss Yang, these two are the governor sent by the court and the night watchman Jinluo. No official in Yunzhou is higher than the governor. Even the night watchman can handle big things. If you have any grievances, just speak up here."

Yang Yingying knelt on the ground, raised her head and glanced at the men surrounding her, her eyes suddenly became a little nervous.

"Sir, may I see your appointment document or official seal?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Governor Zhang and the night watchmen all frowned secretly, because these words did not seem like something an ordinary woman would say.

Xu Qian'an looked at Yang Yingying's whole body seriously. Judging from her body fat percentage, she doesn't look like a warrior. Looking at the weight on her chest, she doesn't look like a smart person.

It seems that we cannot have stereotypes when looking at people. We need to look at them flexibly and adaptably, and we must see them thoroughly.

Thinking this in his mind, Xu Qian'an carefully examined Yang Yingying again, perhaps she was carrying a hidden weapon.

Governor Zhang looked at Li Yuchun and felt that there should be no fraud in this matter, so he readily took out the document and official seal.

Yang Yingying seemed to sense several hungry gazes around her. Her hands trembled as she checked the documents and official seals, but after reading them, she no longer had any doubts.

"I am Yang Yingying, the courtesan of Yunzhou Jiaofangsi. I met Lord Zhou a few years ago. Lord Zhou was so kind that he redeemed me and I have been serving him ever since."

Xu Qian'an suddenly realized that he was a seafood merchant. No wonder he was so knowledgeable and even knew how to check official seals and documents.

From ancient times to the present, this industry has always been full of talented people, including many women with high education, high knowledge and high appearance.

However, my colleague Zhou Min was a bit unkind. This is using the public bus for personal purposes, which is immoral!
Xu Qian'an, Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao looked at each other and saw the same resentment in the eyes of the other two.

Yang Yingying confessed her past with Zhou Min. She was kept outside by Zhou Min and he would only meet her once in a while.

"Some time ago, Lord Zhou gave me an important item, saying that he might be in danger. If anything happened, he asked me to hide and give the item to Lord Yang, the governor of Qingzhou."

"Not long after, Lord Zhou was murdered. I didn't dare to stay in Yunzhou, so I hid in my sister's house. Finally, I found an opportunity to sneak into a caravan and planned to go to Qingzhou."

"I never thought that the safest caravan in Yunzhou would be robbed, and those bandits seemed to be targeting me. If it weren't for this hero, I would have been beheaded... wuwuwu."

As the crying sounds spread, several night watchmen felt that Yang Yingying had regained her professionalism. Her crying sounds were very professional.

Yang Yingying's eyes were fixed on Li Yuchun, because this man not only saved her, but also kept his eyes straight ahead and did not touch her at all when he was holding her just now.

Yang Yingying had never seen such a man in her life.

Xu Qian'an saw through Yang Yingying inside and out. Based on his many years of experience as a police officer, he knew that this woman was not lying.

Moreover, Lord Yang from Qingzhou is a great scholar from Yunlu Academy. Because of the characteristics of the Confucian cultivation system, his character is trustworthy.

No matter how lustful he is, his character must be fine, just like Master Li Changan.

"Please, adults, please help my husband!"

Governor Zhang hesitated for a moment and said, "Take out what Zhou Min gave you."

Yang Yingying kowtowed quickly, "Thank you, sir."

Then she put her hand deep into her broad bosom. The guards were afraid that she would take out her musket or flying knife, so they stared at Yang Yingying's hand with green eyes.

Fortunately, nothing happened. Amid the silent amazement of the audience, Yang Yingying took out a simple semicircular jade pendant.

The jade pendant was crystal clear and should have been a complete circle, but it was split into two halves by a sharp weapon.

Xu Qian'an took it naturally, frowning as he carefully rubbed the warm and smooth jade pendant.

"My Lords, there is something fishy about this thing!"
