Mixed in the heavens, merits and virtues become immortals

Chapter 474 Why still be an orphan?

Xu Qi'an never expected that he would be able to see his own mother.

It was only when he met his mother that Xu Qi'an learned the whole story. His mother had hidden in the capital for him, where she gave birth to him and raised him under the protection of the supervisor. Meanwhile, his mother had come to Qianlong City and suffered the cold shoulder of others.

"Come with us."

Xu Qi'an ultimately did not call out "Mother," but simply said, "We'll go to the capital and live with my uncle and aunt."

"I'm relieved to see that you're alright."

Ji Baiqing spoke gently, saying, "But I cannot leave Qianlong City."

She also has a responsibility to bear here in Qianlong City.

"But……"

Xu Qi'an was about to explain.

"Snapped!"

Gu Qing slapped Ji Baiqing on the neck, easily knocking her unconscious, and then hoisted her onto his shoulder.

"Let's go."

Gu Qing said to Xu Qi'an, "We came here to rob you anyway, so what else is there to say?"

Seeing this, Xu Yuanhuai, who was standing nearby, flicked his wrist and drew his spear, offering it to Gu Qing in an attempt to snatch his mother away.

Gu Qing's move was like a flash of white light, his hand blocking the spear. Xu Qi'an didn't even see what happened before he saw his younger brother being hit, staggering and collapsing to the ground.

What about your brother?

Gu Qing left the choice to Xu Qi'an.

Xu Qi'an glanced at his mother, who was being carried on Gu Qing's shoulder, and then at his pitiful younger sister, and said, "She must have come with us."

He definitely couldn't keep his scumbag father, but his mother was still very attached to him, so of course he had to take her out of that hellhole. His younger sister and brother had always grown up with their mother, so of course he had to take them with him too.

Xu Yuanshuang had no other choice but to silently follow Gu Qing. Although she didn't know if leaving Qianlong City for the capital was the right or wrong decision, her family's awkward life in Qianlong City had at least changed.

"Since we're leaving, let's leave something behind."

Xu Qi'an picked up a brush and scribbled on the wall: "Pingfeng's brilliant plan to secure the world has resulted in the loss of both his wife and his army."

As soon as he wrote these words, it was as if all the pent-up frustration of the past years had dissipated. Xu Qi'an felt refreshed and the pressure brought by Xu Pingfeng was swept away.

Xu Yuanshuang looked at the words above, thinking of her father who was usually so shrewd and resourceful. She wondered what kind of rage he would unleash upon seeing such words.

Gu Qing carried Ji Baiqing, Xu Qi'an carried Xu Yuanhuai, and Xu Yuanshuang followed beside the two of them. They swaggered out of the streets of Qianlong City. People who saw this scene would naturally scatter to the left and right, allowing the group to leave Qianlong City safely.

Even after leaving the gates of Qianlong City, Xu Qi'an was still somewhat incredulous. He then looked at Gu Qing in astonishment and said, "If you have this ability, why do we still need to play the undercover game?"

Shouldn't they just swagger into Qianlong City and then conduct a thorough intelligence search?

"It's your decision."

Gu Qing looked at Xu Qi'an with a pure expression and said.

It's my decision...

I had no idea you had this psychological trick of hiding your true identity.

Xu Qi'an looked up at the sky speechlessly, watching Gu Qing's hand gestures form a sword incantation. In an instant, sword energy surged forth, and the sword energy, more than ten feet long, carried everyone directly up to the Heavenly Palace, heading towards the Jingzhao Prefecture amidst the blue sea and sky.

Xu Qi'an sat atop the sword energy, watching his mother, who was being carried by Gu Qing, still with her brows furrowed. He sighed silently and said, "I hope that when she gets to the capital, her brows will be relaxed."

After leaving the Ji family's place, they arrived at the Xu family's place in the capital. Life there was ordinary but peaceful.

"Do not worry."

Gu Qing turned her face away and said, "I can make her happy."

cheer me up...

Xu Qi'an subconsciously recalled the scene when Gu Qing cupped his face in her hands. It was said that the Imperial Advisor had taught him a method to please women, although Xu Qi'an had strictly forbidden him from using it on Li Ru, but...

Damn it, this is really impossible to guard against.

"You have already..."

Xu Qi'an stared at Gu Qing with wide eyes.

"She was definitely unhappy when I first went in."

Gu Qing said seriously, "But as soon as I coaxed her, I made her smile from ear to ear."

Damn it...

Xu Qi'an clutched his chest and lay down directly on the sword energy. He turned his face to the side and spat out a mouthful of blood. When he looked at Gu Qing, his eyes were full of resentment... How could you do this to my mother?
This is his biological mother.

The spawn point was captured, and Gu Qing launched a massive army attack. If Gu Qing were to insult his mother, it would simply be a statement of fact...

In that instant, Xu Qi'an thought of many things. "What's wrong with you?"

Looking at Xu Qi'an, Xu Yuanshuang took a handkerchief and wiped his face, asking curiously, "He told his mother that you came to Qianlong City to see her. What's wrong with that?"

Xu Qi'an's eyes lit up as he looked at Gu Qing and asked, "Is it that simple?"

Gu Qing nodded matter-of-factly and said, "It's that simple."

Xu Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief and got up from the sword energy. So that's how it is. I thought it was something else.

Xu Qi'an stood up, feeling that Gu Qing still knew what was important and wouldn't directly harm his mother.

"Put my mother down."

Xu Qi'an didn't want Gu Qing to carry his mother anymore, fearing that one day someone would carry his mother's legs.

After this casual conversation, Xu Yuanshuang gradually relaxed and looked down at Yunzhou from high above, thinking about leaving this place and heading to Jingzhao Prefecture.

Xu Yuanshuang looked at everything curiously and asked, "What exactly is going on?" This is so inexplicable.

"it's okay no problem."

Xu Qi'an is no longer dwelling on this topic; he has let it go.

"Gu Qing, you speak!"

Xu Yuanshuang jumped to Gu Qing's side, stared at him intently at close range, and said, "Is there anything you can't say?"

Gu Qing lowered his head and met Xu Yuanshuang's gaze for a moment, until Xu Yuanshuang wanted to look away, then said, "The Imperial Advisor taught me a method to coax women, which can easily make them happy..."

"Say it another way!"

Xu Qi'an interrupted from the side, not wanting Gu Qing to talk about this with his sister.

Gu Qing is already building a harem, and his cousin Xu Lingyue is already a member of the harem. Xu Qi'an hopes that his sister can have a different choice.

"Oh……"

Gu Qing readily agreed, saying, "When I arrived in Qianlong City, Ning Yan told me to use you and then dump you." Gu Qing promptly changed the subject.

Xu Yuanshuang turned her face away. This was her older brother whom she had never met before. Xu Yuanshuang had many concerns for him, but was this the kind of thing an older brother should say?
Xu Qi'an had already coughed up blood, and now he wanted to cough it up again.

“Back then, you were going to go undercover, so he probably didn’t know my identity.”

Looking at Xu Qi'an's expression, Xu Yuanshuang added a comment to his defense.

"I know!"

Gu Qingping said calmly.

"puff!"

Xu Qi'an still coughed up blood, and when he turned his face, he was met with his sister's disdainful gaze.

"No, please listen to my explanation."

Xu Qi'an grabbed Xu Yuanshuang's trouser leg and, facing Xu Yuanshuang's disdainful gaze, said, "Back then, I didn't know you shared the same father and mother..." Clearly, her mother, sister, and brother had all been taken away, and she was still an orphan in the Xu family. To Xu Qi'an, that was just too ironic.

Inside Qianlong City.

Xu Pingfeng was listening to a report about the fight and quarrel between Ji Qian and Ji Xuan in Qianlong City. Hearing that the fight was caused by Xu Yuanshuang, Xu Pingfeng felt something was wrong. In a daze, he came back to his senses and felt the gloom in his heart being swept away, and his mind became clear again.

Qin Jiu and vodka escaped from the capital and approached Xu Yuanshuang...

"madness!"

Xu Pingfeng said coldly, "Why didn't you notify me sooner if there were people like this?"

He came from the capital, intending to assassinate the emperor; his martial arts skills are exceptional…

At this moment, Xu Pingfeng had a strange feeling that something was wrong, and he asked in detail about the two people, "Qin Jiu" and "Vodka".

Ji Xuan reported truthfully, saying, "Vodka's speech is crude, but his martial arts are quite good. Qin Jiu's ability to train him is extraordinary."

As Xu Pingfeng listened to the descriptions of the two men, he connected them with the clues he had obtained from Consort Chen. His eyes turned cold, and he said, "Qin Jiuya is quite remarkable, but the one driving the car, Vodka, is the real hero!"

Gu Qing, Xu Qi'an, is that you two here?
Xu Pingfeng turned and arrived at the place where Ji Baiqing was being confined. As far as he could see, Ji Baiqing was no longer there. The guards in the courtyard and the guards in the city were completely unaware of this.

Xu Pingfeng turned back dejectedly, and a line of words on the wall was shocking.

Pingfeng's brilliant plan to secure the world backfired, resulting in the loss of both his wife and his army.

"puff!"

A grand plan has thus ended in failure.

Xu Pingfeng coughed up a mouthful of blood.
