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

Chapter 325: Meet Master Miaozhen!

"The white jade is flawless, the answer is the word huang. The sun and the moon are in the same sky, the answer is the word ming."

Yang Yingying, as expected of a courtesan, knew how to maintain the dignity of her superiors, and quickly revealed the last two riddles and their answers.

Xu Qian'an muttered the five answers to the riddle, "Si, Bo, Gao, Huang, Ming, what do they mean?"

Several people pondered and stringed the words together again, but still could not figure out the secret. Could it be that there was really no special meaning?

Governor Zhang couldn't guess what the five words were.

"If there is a mystery behind these five words, then Master Ziyang can also guess it. Master Ziyang is not familiar with Yunzhou, so the mystery behind it will not be too complicated..."

"What are the things that you can easily discover when you first arrive in Yunzhou... What are the things that you must know when you first arrive in Yunzhou..."

At this moment, Governor Zhang was spending half of his brain thinking about these five words, and the other half struggling with Miss Wen.

Miss Wen is getting married...Which famous Miss Wen is there in history? What's the story behind her marriage...Oh, I can't figure it out!

Xu Qian'an took out the feng shui map he had just bought yesterday from his arms. This thing was available at the post station. It was rather rough and was far different from the map that Kurosawa Zhiling had read out in his previous life.

"A geomancy map is a must-have for those who first arrive in Yunzhou. If you are a peddler, you can go wherever you want after entering the city.

But a great scholar like Ziyang Jushi must buy a geomancy map."

The others were a little skeptical, and Yang Yingying also widened her eyes. Could there really be a secret behind the riddle?

According to those five words, Xu Qian'an began to look for place names on the Feng Shui map.

"Siming Bridge, Bohuang Street... The remaining word Huang is too taboo, and the other two words have no corresponding places."

Governor Zhang said, "Ning Yan, we should try our best to save the situation. Take people to check these two places immediately."

Xu Qian'an brought a few plainclothes night watchmen to Siming Bridge and inspected it carefully.

Siming Bridge spans a small river. It is an arch bridge with two large and two small holes. It is carved from white marble and the bridge body is covered with moss.

The three of them checked for a long time, and Xu Qian'an found a protruding stone brick on the outside of the bridge. He then gently pulled it out and really found a brocade bag inside.

After opening the brocade bag, some numbers were found written inside.

"Silent One Hundred Sixty-Two Three Hundred Forty-Seventy-One Two"

默，162、347、4、1、2。

Damn, Zhou Min is really a talent. He is even good at cryptography. Xu Qian'an was stunned.

"Ning Yan, what does this mean?"

"Ning Yan, where are we going next?"

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao seemed to have put their heads in the Music Bureau and stopped thinking when following Xu Qian'an.

"How should I know!" Xu Qian'an was a little nervous, "We are both night watchmen, but the gap between you and Zhou Min is too big."

"He's a hidden player, much stronger than you two! He left a riddle that you couldn't figure out, and now you have no clue about the numbers."

Song Tingfeng was unconvinced and said, "The hidden men were carefully selected. We only need to be responsible for the force. Just like just now, Jiang Jinluo and the boss didn't see it either..."

"So, Ning Yan has the potential to be a hidden player!" Zhu Guangxiao said seriously.

"Get out!" Xu Qian'an was speechless.

An hour later, Xu Qian'an returned to the post station with the code.

Governor Zhang has high hopes for Xu Qian'an. If there are no clues along the way, this case will be very difficult.

Xu Qian'an led his men back, and Governor Zhang looked at them expectantly and nervously.

Xu Qian'an took out the note and put it on the table. Immediately, several hands reached out to him, everyone was anxious.

"What does this say?"

Jiang Luzhong looked confused, and Governor Zhang looked even more dazed. They had no idea what Zhou Min had written.

Governor Zhang was so eager to win that he had not guessed a single riddle and now he was determined to avenge himself.

I flipped through the books of sages and the classics I had studied hard in my mind, but this riddle was just like Miss Wen, I had no clue at all.

Finally, an hour later, everyone had memorized the note, but there was still no clue.

That night, at the invitation of Governor Zhang, Xu Qian'an attended an official social dinner as a personal attendant.

According to Governor Zhang, this meal is very important because they will deal with someone at this dinner.

The two men deliberately arrived a quarter of an hour late, both to show off their official power and to give their host ample time to prepare.

When they arrived at the gate of the banquet mansion, all kinds of carriages and sedan chairs were already parked in front of the door. Led by the attendants, Governor Zhang and his entourage came to the front hall and met more than a hundred various Yunzhou officials.

"Your Excellency the Governor!" With a hearty laugh, the Provincial Governor Song Changfu came forward to greet him.

Governor Zhang smiled and bowed, "Your Excellency the Provincial Governor."

The three most powerful offices in a state are the Military Commissioner's Office, the Provincial Administration Office, and the Criminal Investigation Office. The Provincial Administration Office is a true frontier official.

Afterwards, the powerful Yunzhou Governor introduced the Commander-in-Chief Yang Chuannan to Governor Zhang. At this time, the discussions in the hall quieted down a lot.

Everyone in the officialdom got the news, and almost everyone heard the gossip that Governor Zhang was coming for Yang Chuannan.

"I have admired you for a long time, I have admired you for a long time."

"Master Commander, I have heard of you for a long time!"

Governor Zhang and Yang Chuannan smiled sincerely, like old friends who had not seen each other for many years. They even shook hands and greeted each other. The topic ranged from classmates to fellow villagers, trying to find common ground.

It seems that the two are very close.

However, both of them were testing each other and were wary of each other.

Xu Qian'an grinned secretly. No wonder Lord Wei and his master had said that he was not suitable for officialdom. These people beat around the bush when they said a single word.

In Xu Qian'an's mind, the ideal life is not to be surrounded by people like Governor Zhang, but to be like Li Chang'an, who is surrounded by beautiful women and no one dares to mess with him.

"When I become successful in martial arts, I will be the second Li Changan of Dafeng!"

After everyone was seated, a young female general in light armor strode in. The pretty military lady with a high ponytail was still very beautiful and quite stunning.

When he saw this figure, Xu Qian'an naturally guessed that this was the love rival of Xu Lingyue in her little notebook, the Golden Eagle Heroine Li Miaozhen!
Xu Qian'an secretly compared them and found that the beauty of this female knight was comparable to the two princesses, both of them were extremely stunning.

It can be seen that the Master’s harem admission line is set extremely high!
Before coming to Yunzhou, he had done all this intelligence work. Although Li Miaozhen did not have a formal organization, he helped the government troops to suppress bandits.

And this beauty in military uniform sat directly next to Yang Chuannan, and all the officials looked at her with awe.

What a powerful female power! Xu Qi'an thought to himself.

Yang Chuannan looked at Governor Zhang and Xu Qian'an and said, "This is the famous Golden Eagle Heroine Li Miaozhen, and she is also the Ranger General hired by me."

"Over the past year, she has fought bandits everywhere and made many achievements. If we really want to reward her for her merits, she should be the commander-in-chief."

At this time, Xu Qian'an already had some doubts. Could it be that this future master's wife was number two?

In the past chat groups, number two was a military girl who was keen on suppressing bandits, and she had no regular organization in the court. She looked down on Emperor Yuan Jing very much, so it was very likely that she was the one.

"Disciple Xu Ningyan, greetings to Master Miaozhen!" Amid the surprised gazes of the crowd, Xu Ningyan bowed properly in front of Li Miaozhen. If Li Miaozhen was Li Changan's legal wife, Xu Qian'an should have knelt down.

"Oh, Ning Yan, I'm from the underworld, you don't have to be so polite." Li Miaozhen was not surprised, but acted like an elder.

She knew very well that Li Changan had two disciples. Li Changan had told her about it and often mentioned it in the chat group.

Xu Qian'an is well aware of the importance of pillow talk and must be respectful enough to his master's wives.

It is never wrong to be polite and it is never wrong to take the initiative to show courtesy.

At this time, Yang Chuannan's eyelids suddenly twitched, and the expressions of many officials present changed slightly.

Li Miaozhen has an army, and it is quite powerful. If Governor Zhang and Xu Qian'an and his party have the support of Li Miaozhen, they will not be too afraid of the local tyrants in Yunzhou.

Yang Chuannan was surprised and said, "Governor Zhang, it turns out that this person is Mr. Li Changan's disciple. No wonder he is so handsome!"

Xu Qian'an responded with a forced smile and didn't take it seriously.

Governor Zhang looked stunned. Li Changan was a prominent figure in the capital and had a close relationship with the two princesses. It was said that the conflicts between the two princesses were getting worse because of him.

Li Changan himself is a great scholar and a hero. He bears the title of Golden Luo Night Watchman and has close ties with the Night Watchmen's Office and Yunlu Academy. He is a man of great power.

I never thought that I could still feel Li Changan's influence when I arrived in Yunzhou.

If General Li is willing to support him in investigating the case, she would be a helping hand even if he encounters danger. I just don't know if she is willing to help.

At this time, Li Miaozhen smiled and said, "Children of Jianghu don't care about red tape. Li Lang and I have known each other for a long time, and his disciples are my disciples."

"Ning Yan has just arrived in Yunzhou and is entrusted with important tasks for the court. I hope that you gentlemen will give him some convenience and not bully foreign monks."

Xu Qian'an straightened his chest, and the officials at the banquet expressed their opinions one after another. They said that the night watchman was an imperial envoy and would naturally do his best.

But Governor Zhang knew that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, and Li Miaozhen's words would have a significant impact.

But the person he wanted to investigate was Yang Chuannan, who trusted Li Miaozhen very much. When Li Miaozhen said this, Yang Chuannan did not show any displeasure, but instead agreed with her repeatedly.

"The lady is right. We must fully cooperate with the court on official business and never slack off."

Xu Qian'an couldn't help but think in his heart, Yang Chuannan seemed to rely on Li Miaozhen very much, so how much was Li Miaozhen involved in Yang Chuannan's affairs.

Moreover, if Li Miaozhen sent Li Yuchun to rescue Yang Yingying, it would be equivalent to ruining Yang Chuannan's good plan.

The bandit leader who was chasing Yang Yingying resisted arrest and was killed. The other bandits had no idea why they wanted to assassinate Yang Yingying, let alone the mastermind behind it.

At present, assuming that Yang Chuannan does have a problem, then what is the relationship between Li Miaozhen and Yang Chuannan? Are they just physically together but spiritually apart, and have they been plotting against each other in private?

The banquet went on as usual. This was a dinner where both sides were testing each other, so it didn't matter what was served.

However, Song Changfu arranged a large plate of seedless loquats for Governor Zhang to taste, and Governor Zhang gladly accepted it.

Afterwards, Governor Zhang whispered to Xu Qian'an that the seedless loquat was a hint, suggesting that Yunzhou would be peaceful if one person was eliminated.

The banquet was over and everyone left the mansion. Li Miaozhen called Xu Qian'an aside.

"Your master is in Yunzhou. You can investigate the case without worry. He will take responsibility for whatever he finds."

Li Miaozhen's words immediately perked up Xu Qian'an, even though he had been meditating non-stop for several days in order to break through the Spirit Refining Realm.

"It's great that the master is here! I wonder where he lives. I will go to see him right away."

Li Miaozhen said calmly, "No need, he has his own place to go, just focus on investigating the case. If you feel that you are short of manpower, you can always ask Li Yuchun to come to me and I will help."

"Thank you so much, Master's Wife!" Xu Qian'an was very excited. The situation that he originally felt helpless and powerless was reversed in an instant.

Li Miaozhen has a strong army, which greatly boosts Xu Qian'an's confidence.

In fact, Li Changan hinted to Li Miaozhen that Yang Chuannan was not simple and was using her.

She is a person of the underworld, and what annoys her most is the intrigues and crookedness in the officialdom, where everyone does not do a good job of suppressing bandits but only creates a mess.

She originally thought that the good official who supported the suppression of bandits actually had other motives, which made Li Miaozhen even more disappointed with the Dafeng court.

The upper beam is crooked and the lower beams are crooked, the source of the problem lies with the evil Emperor Yuan Jing!
Xu Qian'an bid farewell to Li Miaozhen and returned to Governor Zhang.

"Master Zhang, Master Miao Zhen promised us that she would help us in an emergency!"

This news made Governor Zhang very surprised. "Ning Yangui is really popular. Now we feel more at ease."

Xu Qian'an waved his hand casually, "It's just a small matter. Find a good master and save yourself thirty years of hard work."

Governor Zhang's expression froze for a moment, then he twirled his beard and chuckled, "Haha, Ning Yan is indeed a disciple of a great scholar. He speaks eloquently and his words are thought-provoking."

Xu Qian'an laughed dryly. His words were even more true in this era. No matter whether in civil or military affairs, the master was extremely important.

"The commander-in-chief has the greatest power among the three divisions, but the one who came to greet me today was Song Changfu. Even the first person Song Changfu introduced was the criminal supervisor, which shows that the two have a bad relationship."

"Also, Yang Chuannan was relatively silent during the banquet, while Song Changfu was very active. This is very abnormal, and it shows that Song Changfu has a much greater influence in the officialdom of Yunzhou."

Xu Qian'an just listened, feeling extremely annoyed by these intrigues.

These people are really energetic, and their energy should be contributed to cultivation and the Jiaofang Bureau. How could they use it on such boring things?

Seeing Xu Qian'an having a headache and feeling depressed, Governor Zhang laughed heartily, and his depression of not being able to guess Miss Wen's riddle was swept away.

"Sir, how about we guess another riddle?" Xu Qian'an said with a smile.

Governor Zhang felt provoked. How could a scholar like me be afraid of a crude warrior like you? He immediately put on an attitude to suppress everything.

"Go ahead!"

Xu Qian'an smiled and said, "A woman giving birth to a child, guess an idiom!"

Governor Zhang's face froze, his smile froze, and his expression became confused again. Then he lowered the car curtains and refused to communicate with Xu Qian'an anymore.

Outside the car window, Xu Qian'an and Jiang Luzhong could be heard laughing wildly.

"Lord Jiang, what are you laughing at?" Xu Qian'an held back his smile and pretended to be angry.

"As for me, it's nothing. I just suddenly thought of something happy!" Jiang Luzhong laughed heartily.

"Hmph!" A cold snort came from Governor Zhang in the carriage.

What's going on? How did Xu Qian'an, a martial artist, come up with a riddle that he himself couldn't guess, and even came up with two riddles!
For the sake of dignity as a scholar, I couldn't ask for the answer, as that would be too embarrassing.

Could it be that his master taught him?

That should be the case, then it is not unfair for me to lose to Li Daru.

But I am unhappy because you are mocking me like this.

Governor Zhang, with a sullen face, fell into deep thought in the carriage.

Miss Wen is getting married...

Women give birth to children...

Hiss! What is the answer to the riddle?
