Mixed in the heavens, merits and virtues become immortals

Chapter 470 Doing this can make you happy

Xu Qi'an lay on the bed, holding the fragment of the Earth Book, and communicating with the person on it.

Third: In the Great Feng Dynasty, where was it easiest to rebel?

Upon hearing this, the fragment of the Earth Book was filled with question marks, with Li Miaozhen, number two, reacting the most strongly, typing incessantly on it.

Second: You can't stand that dog emperor Yuan Jing anymore?

Number Four, who rarely speaks, couldn't help but ask Number Three why he was so radical.

Third: It's not that I'm radical, but that someone else is. I'm looking for a rebel right now. You guys help me think about it. There's a man with a broad mind, a hidden sword, and who does whatever he wants. He escaped from the court and has been lying low in the world for over twenty years. Where would such a person recruit soldiers if he wanted to rebel?
Fourth: Do the night watchmen have any information on this?

Xu Qi'an suddenly realized in bed that although his biological father was unreliable, he had at least recognized a eunuch as his godfather. With Wei Yuan's wisdom, he should be able to consider these things. However, at the moment, besides Wei Yuan, he also had Master Jinlian at hand. Thinking of Master Jinlian's various ways of "licking Gu Qing's boots," Xu Qi'an wrote on the screen: "Master Jinlian, quickly put on your invincible wisdom and think carefully. This person was discovered by Gu Qing."

Master Jinlian was secretly watching the screen, but after hearing that Gu Qing had discovered it, she realized she could no longer stay hidden.

Nine: If there is truly a person who is unscrupulous in doing things, who can escape from the court, and who can remain hidden in this world for twenty years without being detected by Wei Yuan, then it can only be Yunzhou. Yunzhou has always been plagued by countless bandits, but the situation has really deteriorated in the twenty years since Emperor Yuanjing began cultivating Taoism, which is also reasonable in terms of time.

Xu Qi'an got up from the bed, wanting to report to Wei Yuan immediately, but after thinking it over, he suppressed the wild thoughts in his mind. In the face of important matters, he should calm down first.

So that night, Xu Qi'an forced himself to sleep. The next day, after adjusting his state, he met Wei Yuan and asked him if there were any rebellious organizations in the world.

Wei Yuan was an exceptionally intelligent man. After hearing this, he did not press Xu Qi'an for details, but instead seriously considered the current situation and said, "If someone has indeed escaped from the court and gone into hiding, then his power will not disappear overnight."

Among these factions in the imperial court, perhaps there is one whose very existence remains.

Just as Xu Qi'an was about to investigate the case, the imperial court had already begun to investigate the night watchmen. Zhu Jinluo, who had been singled out by Gu Qing, wrote a memorial detailing the corruption and malfeasance within the night watchmen's ranks. As a result, the emperor dispatched people to thoroughly investigate the night watchmen. Everyone on Zhu Jinluo's list was imprisoned, including Gu Qing and Xu Qi'an.

"Catch me?"

When the matter came to Gu Qing, he was confused and said, "I am not greedy or corrupt, I am honest and qualified. Besides, this is a matter for the night watchman, how did it involve me?"

"This is the Emperor's order."

The consul's eunuch relayed the order to arrest Gu Qing. He then approached Gu Qing and whispered, "Mr. Gu, we know about your situation. The Princess and Princess Lin'an both think highly of you. If you come with us this time, you'll be perfectly safe. In the officialdom, promotion is like a magnet attracting a needle; once you get close, the needle pricks you and you can't get rid of it. A position is like a stone containing fire; it may seem safe and harmless at first, but once touched, it will ignite and become difficult to extinguish, leaving you battered and bruised. You were born at Yunlu Academy, so even if you don't move in that position, there will still be people who want to stab you and make trouble for you."

The eunuch persuaded Gu Qing to stop resisting and go to the prison with them. He also said that the situation had been reported to the Eldest Princess and Princess Lin'an, and that Gu Qing would be released soon.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing obediently sat down in the prison. After the Minister of Justice arrested Gu Qing, he also arrested many night watchmen. Gu Qing recognized them and greeted them in the prison.

"I thought I was wronged enough by being arrested, but I didn't expect you to be arrested too."

Li Yuchun was a clean freak; even in prison, he kept the cell spotless and orderly.

"The eunuch who arrested me said that this was a magnet attracting a needle, and the stone contained gunpowder."

Gu Qing briefly summarized what the eunuch had said.

"Political struggle, this is a fierce political struggle!"

Upon hearing this, the night watchmen were all furious and said, "Why didn't you just chop that Zhu fellow to pieces with one stroke back then!"

This whole thing was caused by Zhu Jinluo. Gu Qing's Heaven and Earth One Slash instantly killed Zhu Jinluo.

"I don't kill people."

Gu Qing said calmly.

Hearing this, the night watchmen suddenly felt rather disheartened. However, a few clever ones took this opportunity to ask Gu Qing for guidance, requesting that he teach them the Heaven and Earth One-Slash Technique. Gu Qing did not hold back and shared the secrets of the Heaven and Earth One-Slash Technique, as well as his philosophy on swordsmanship. These few words gradually quieted the room down.

"Gu Qing."

Gu Qing hadn't been sitting there long when palace officials came to bail him out. After taking Gu Qing away, they offered him a carriage and took him to the palace. In the small garden, Consort Chen was sitting upright. When she saw Gu Qing arrive, she reached out to help him out of the carriage.

"You've experienced the wickedness of human nature now, haven't you?"

Consort Chen straightened Gu Qing's clothes and said.

Gu Qing's imprisonment this time was entirely due to the wickedness of human nature.

"This imperial court is a den of demons."

Consort Chen asked Gu Qing to sit down and personally served him tea. She said, "If you want to live well here, you either need to be like the Empress, with someone protecting you, or you need to keep some secrets in your heart. Only then can you protect yourself." Consort Chen leaned slightly closer to Gu Qing and said softly, "Actually, there is also a bright area in my heart. You can feel it if you touch it."

Recently, Consort Chen feels like she's returned to the time when she first became aware of right from wrong, and she's always thinking about that kind of thing. Now that she's alone with Gu Qing, she's finding it hard to control herself.

"stop!"

Huaiqing and Lin'an rushed over and saw Consort Chen pulling Gu Qing's hand toward her chest, and immediately stopped her.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Lin'an's pretty face turned deathly pale with anger. "Is this mother out of her mind?"
Consort Chen parted her red lips slightly, biting her fingertip, and said, "I'm just feeling unwell."

Huaiqing rolled her eyes, her expression clear and unwavering. She didn't believe Consort Chen's words at all. However, Consort Chen's actions made Huaiqing wary. Did her mother also have feelings for Gu Qing?
"Come with me."

Huaiqing pulled Gu Qing aside and said, "Let's deal with the people who plotted against you."

This sudden event fell on Gu Qing's shoulders. Huai Qing had a lot to think about, and now he was about to set off with Gu Qing.

Upon seeing this, Princess Lin'an quickly followed behind Gu Qing. Before leaving, she turned to look at Consort Chen, her pretty face paling slightly.

Regarding this case, when Gu Qing was taken away, the Earth Book of the Heaven and Earth Society had already begun to communicate. Among them, Number Three even found some clues. Huaiqing wanted to take Gu Qing and follow these clues to catch the people inside.

He had just stepped out of the palace gate when he was stopped by the Imperial Preceptor, Luo Yuheng.

"Step aside."

Lin'an looked at the Grand Preceptor with displeasure. In the eyes of the world, the Grand Preceptor was the culprit who had caused the decline of the Great Feng Dynasty over the past twenty years. What made Lin'an even more uncomfortable was that the Grand Preceptor exuded a kind of allure, as if he were seducing Gu Qing right in front of her.

Lin'an dared not argue about what Consort Chen had done, fearing it would cause trouble. When they saw the Imperial Advisor, they vented their anger on her.

Luo Yuheng smiled gently at Lin'an, like a kind aunt, then looked at Huaiqing and asked, "Do you think this incident could affect Gu Qing's life?"

That is of course impossible.

Gu Qing has the backing of Yunlu Academy, and even the Supervisor, and Gu Qing has done nothing wrong; he will be protected from all sides. "Then why does His Majesty detain Gu Qing?"

Luo Yuheng asked again.

"That's why we need the might of thunder to awe all around us."

Huaiqing stated decisively that she wanted to intimidate the court and the public, so that no one would dare to harm Gu Qing.

"Your wings are not yet fully grown; what can you use to intimidate the imperial court?"

Luo Yuheng said calmly, "You can't stop the Emperor from using whomever he wants, and you can't protect whomever he doesn't want." This time, the detention of Gu Qing was with the tacit approval of Emperor Yuanjing, thus dragging Gu Qing into the vortex of the court. He could attack east when he was directed to attack east, and west when he was directed to attack west. Luo Yuheng knew Emperor Yuanjing very well, which is why he came out to stop Huaiqing.

"This……"

Huaiqing frowned slightly.

"Gu Qing possesses a righteous spirit, which is the purest and most profound power in the world. He should not get involved in this kind of struggle."

Luo Yuheng reached out and grabbed Gu Qing's sleeve, saying to Huaiqing, "Let him come to my place first. This storm will soon be over, and we'll let Gu Qing come out after it's over."

Luo Yuheng also wanted to protect Gu Qing, which could be seen as a way of showing his attitude to Emperor Yuanjing.

"But……"

Huaiqing felt that this would put Gu Qing in danger. As everyone knows, Emperor Yuanjing has always wanted to cultivate with Luo Yuheng. If Gu Qing gets involved, Emperor Yuanjing won't be in a hurry.
"It's alright."

Luo Yuheng, enveloped in sword energy, swept away Gu Qing in a rainbow, leaving behind only one sentence: "Since I have taken him away, I will naturally protect him."

Jingzhao Mansion.

Xu Qi'an arrived at the Imperial Observatory and found Chu Caiwei. He was about to ask Chu Caiwei for help when he saw that Chu Caiwei looked disgusted.

"This matter concerns Gu Qing!"

As soon as Xu Qi'an spoke, Chu Caiwei's expression changed. She obediently sat opposite Xu Qi'an and listened to him talk about the case at hand.

"Therefore, that haunted house may provide clues that could uncover the mastermind behind this incident."

Xu Qi'an said.

He found a clue about the haunted house while looking at the information.

"This is just to clear your names as night watchmen. Whether Gu Qing took the money or not, I'll just take some men to confront Zhu Jinluo."

Chu Caiwei had a simpler and more direct method. Looking at Xu Qi'an, she said, "For Gu Qing's sake, and knowing that you are investigating a case, I will recommend someone for you."

Who?
Xu Qi'an looked over in confusion and saw a figure standing alone, aloof and peerless.

"Are you turning your back on everyone?"

Xu Qi'an asked in confusion.

With his back to all living beings, these four simple words struck Yang Qianhuan's heart directly, making him stand with his hands behind his back, appearing even more lonely as snow, and he said, "I never thought that there would be anyone in this world who understands me."

What do you know? Do you know how to show off?
Xu Qi'an found Yang Qianhuan's sore spot and chanted "Holding the sun and moon in my hands and plucking stars from the sky, there is no one like me in the world" and recited pretentious lines from Gu Long's novels. He easily fooled Yang Qianhuan into going to the haunted house with him. There, they found a little ghost and, through the sorcerer's abilities, learned important clues about the Qi Party and Yunzhou.

"Qidang, Yunzhou..."

While accompanying Wei Yuan into the imperial city to uncover the truth from Emperor Yuanjing, Xu Qi'an was still pondering this name.

His father was indeed in Yunzhou, and all these years he had been preparing for a rebellion. As soon as Xu Qi'an's fortune came into his hands, Xu Pingfeng could immediately send troops to plunge the world into chaos and change the world's ruler.

If given a choice, Xu Qi'an would also like to sit back and watch the tigers fight, letting people like Xu Pingfeng and Emperor Yuanjing fight fiercely. However, Xu Qi'an is bound to the destiny of the Great Feng Dynasty. As long as the Great Feng Dynasty is overthrown, Xu Qi'an will die suddenly. Therefore, Xu Qi'an must protect the Great Feng Dynasty.

When the case was brought before Emperor Yuanjing, the facts became clear, and Emperor Yuanjing immediately took action against Minister Liu of the Ministry of Works, which temporarily calmed the storm.

Xu Qi'an rode his mare and waited for Gu Qing at the entrance of the Taoist temple. After the case was closed, Emperor Yuanjing specifically told Xu Qi'an to come here and pick up Gu Qing. Xu Qi'an thought that Emperor Yuanjing was afraid that the fairy concubine would cheat on him.

After a while, Gu Qing, dressed entirely in white, walked out of the Taoist temple. When she saw Xu Qi'an, her legs went weak.

"Have you been sitting cross-legged for too long?"

Xu Qi'an reached out to support Gu Qing.

"No."

Gu Qing said.

"..."

At this moment, Xu Qi'an remained silent for a moment, staring intently at Gu Qing's face, and asked, "You did it?" He had worked so hard to solve the case, and Gu Qing had been doing something inside?

What does "dry" mean?

Gu Qing's face was full of innocence.

Xu Qi'an thought for a moment and asked, "So what were you two doing in there?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing reached out and cupped Xu Qi'an's face, about to kiss him. Xu Qi'an was so startled that he quickly shook off her hand, leaped back several feet, and hid behind the mare, saying, "Let's talk this out."

"Are you not happy?"

Gu Qing asked in confusion, "But this is a way to cheer people up. Whenever someone is unhappy, this will make them feel better."

"Bullshit!"

Xu Qi'an had a general idea of ​​what Gu Qing was doing inside, and said seriously, "Don't do this kind of thing again." It could get you beheaded. Although Gu Qing wasn't afraid, Xu Qi'an was afraid of being attacked by a bunch of gods fighting.

“Lingyue’s mother is always unhappy because of you…”

"This is especially unacceptable!"

Xu Qi'an corrected him seriously.
