Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 101: A Moment of Eternity

Wei An frowned.

How could the dean not know the condition of the saint's carving knife?
Even if it was the dean, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to take away the saint's carving knife at this moment.

He already understood it in his heart.

He did not respond, but just nodded, bowed, and disappeared in the clear light.

……

Haoqi Building

Wei Yuan informed Wei An of all the details of today's court meeting and small court meeting.

"Is this the trick he's been holding back for so long?"

Wei An's tone was slightly playful.

"Have you been to Chuzhou?"

Wei Yuan changed the topic and asked.

"I went straight to Chuzhou City. I used the Qi-gazing technique to look at the city from afar. The whole city was filled with blood."

Wei An said in a heavy tone.

Wei Yuan also frowned when he heard this.

When the information is insufficient to support reasoning, even the highest intelligence can only guess.

"I think I'll give you an order tomorrow to arrange the anchor points according to his ideas."

Wei Yuan said.

"He probably guessed that I had been to Chuzhou and was unwilling to give me more time."

Wei An took over and continued to speculate.

He added, "This will only make you look more guilty!"

"How can I do what he wants? I want to learn from the Supervisor Teacher."

Wei Yuan did not continue the topic and said, "The dean should have told you that the saint's carving knife can be lent to me."

"Uncle, you are really right." Wei An reached into his sleeve, took out the saint's carving knife, and handed it over.

Wei Yuan spread out his palm and reached out.

When Wei An released his palm...

"Has he been with you ever since the meeting at Taiming Lake?"

Wei Yuan looked at the saint's carving knife stuck in Wei An's hand and asked.

He was surprised at first, thinking that Zhao Shou was too kind to his good nephew.

The saint gives the carving knife as soon as he says so.

It turned out to be the case.

Wei An nodded and put away the saint's carving knife again.

After sitting down, he brewed a cup of tea for himself and asked, "Uncle wants to fight the Wushen Cult. With the current food and troops in Dafeng, which one can support your idea? Or does your uncle think that my hidden martial arts skills are enough to deal with a first-grade wizard?"

Wei Yuan looked at his good nephew for a long time.

He sighed and said, "I shouldn't have told you those things."

"I've seen so many of my uncle's stories about the past in novels. I heard he reads quite a bit. Doesn't he like reading novels?"

Wei An was like rubbing salt into a wound, and also like a provocation.

The veins on Wei Yuan's forehead twitched slightly.

"My uncle taught me to plan everything, but he wanted to be a lone hero. That's a nice thought."

"You'd better give me the Sub-Sage Confucian Crown. I might need it when I go to Chuzhou."

Wei An stretched out his hand and said.

"He won't be at ease if I don't go."

Wei Yuan explained without moving.

"If he had known that Senior Brother Yang and I were developing a teleportation device, what would have been the point of sending you out? He must have had other plans."

Wei An retorted.

Wei Yuan still did not move.

He heard some hints in his good nephew's words.

The good nephew guessed that Yuan Jing had a backup plan.

Isn't it a good nephew...

"Uncle, what do you think I am? It's already a big deal to defeat a second-rank warrior, how can I even touch a first-rank warrior?"

Wei An guessed what his uncle was thinking.

Wei Yuan was helpless.

He had no choice but to return the Confucian cap of the Second Sage.

It seems that he has satisfied his desire to touch the hand.

He was originally the borrower.

"Uncle, do you have any other instructions?"

Wei An also needs to make some arrangements.

Someone was trying his best to bury him in Chuzhou.

He should be worthy of the effort put into it.

"Give me a magical instrument that can be transported to Chuzhou."

"Not urgent."

……

When Wei An came out of the clear light again, he was already at the Bagua Terrace of the Observatory.

"Teacher Supervisor."

After paying his respects, he sat directly next to the supervisor.

The warden took the small wine glass, brought it to his lips, and drank it all.

Accompanied by the gentle evening breeze, it has a unique charm.

"Teacher Jianzheng has sat on the Bagua stage for hundreds of years, spying on destiny day after day. Has he ever become bored?"

Wei An asked.

The Supervisor took one look at him and guessed without any deduction what he was referring to regarding Chuzhou.

"I told you before that after you have glimpsed your destiny, it is not easy to change it directly."

"When the Dafeng Dynasty fell, could the Supervisor really remain indifferent?"

Wei An asked again.

The wording is a bit harsh.

The Supervisor suppressed his urge to deduce Wei An's destiny, saying, "There is no such thing as an immortal dynasty. Rise and fall are all determined by fate."

"Master Jianzheng, let me be frank. If a top-ranked master entered Dafeng, what would you do?"

"How could I allow them to be so presumptuous?"

"I hope the supervisor will remember what I said today."

Wei An stood up, bowed, and prepared to leave.

The Supervisor stopped him and said, "The sorcerer manipulates fate, but is also trapped by fate. Longevity and strength rise and fall with the fate of the country."

Wei An was silent.

"Once in a thousand ages."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qingguang took him away.

The supervisor's gaze returned to the endless starry sky.

……

next day
Two decrees were issued from the imperial city.

They were sent to Wei's residence, and Wei An was asked to set up anchor points in various states to facilitate the transportation of food and fodder.

It was sent to the government office in the capital and the Ministry of Justice together. Someone impeached Xu Xinnian, the top scorer in this year's imperial examination, for cheating, and ordered the government office in the capital and the Ministry of Justice to investigate.

Wei An responded on the spot, saying that he was not feeling well and that the arrangement of the anchor point should be done slowly.

The eunuch went to the Imperial Observatory to announce the decree to Yang Qianhuan and received the same reply.

"The bastard emperor! He spends all day manipulating power and stirring up factional disputes!"

Li Miaozhen came out only after the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict left.

She was unwilling to bow to the eunuch of the dog emperor!
"The Saint is as clear as seeing fire."

Wei Andao.

"I just thought you were praising me. You developed this kind of magical weapon. It would be difficult for a non-high-level sorcerer or wizard to destroy the anchor point you and Yang Qianhuan set up."

"It's clearly a deadly weapon, yet the dog emperor insisted on displaying it openly and using it to transport food and fodder. He's trying to drag you down with him."

Transporting grain and grass is the job of the canal transport industry.

The canal transport system was the livelihood of millions of canal workers. Emperor Jing of Yuan sold official positions and titles, and countless blood-sucking leeches were lured into the canal transport office.

Most of these blood-sucking thieves haven't even earned back the money they spent on buying their official positions.

Any disturbance in the canal transport system would result in resistance from top to bottom within the canal transport office.

"This intensity is not enough."

Wei An shook his head indifferently.

He had just finished speaking when there was a slight noise on the roof.

Li Miaozhen looked over warily.

Wei An didn't even look at it and complained, "My house has a door."

"Someone has accused Xu Xinnian of cheating in this year's imperial examination. He is suspected of having someone write poems for him. The person has been taken to the government office in the capital."

Nangong Qianrou ignored his complaints, and after relaying his message, she quickly disappeared behind a rooftop.

Li Miaozhen chuckled, her smile full of sarcasm.

"The Dog Emperor is giving you more strength now."

"Once you enter the government office, you will be guilty even if you are innocent."

She satirized Yuan Jing without any hesitation.

He also speculated, "They must have already arranged a confession and evidence, and are just waiting to get Xu Xinnian's confession to prove the imperial examination cheating."

"We're definitely not here just for Xu Xinnian. Regardless of whether Xu Xinnian confesses or not, someone will come looking for you tomorrow to negotiate terms with you."

"The Saint is well versed in the ways of officialdom, and her words are penetrating and profound, truly admirable."

Wei An praised again.

"I've been walking around the martial arts world for so many years, and I've seen this kind of cunning and disgusting tactics countless times using the Tianzong Heart Technique!"

Li Miaozhen cooperated by raising her chin and straightening her back.

Then he asked, "You won't fight back?"

Wei An shook his head. "I've read the poem written by Brother Nian. It's full of heroic spirit, with its iron cavalry and powerful swords. It's definitely not a ghostwriter's work."

"So what? He is in the government office." Li Miaozhen retorted.

"Brother Nian is not a weak-willed person. They would never dare to torture him. To do so would undoubtedly be digging their own graves."

"Why?"

Wei An went to the backyard and said as he walked, "The day I leave for Chuzhou, Brother Nian will be released that day. The rumors about cheating and hiring someone to write will naturally disappear."

"Some things are initially instigated by someone, but gradually the person in control is no longer him."

Li Miaozhen nodded thoughtfully.

……

Spend a day quietly.

In Wei's house, Wei An practiced boxing and ate, everything was peaceful and calm.

Outside the Wei residence, the dispute between heaven and man and the cheating in the imperial examination were rampant and a hot topic.

"Wei Wuyang, it's time to eat."

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat."

Li Miaozhen called out first.

Then came Lina's urging.

After washing his hands, Wei An walked into the dining room.

Look at this huge table of food.

"How is it? Xiao Mi's cooking skills are pretty good, right?"

Wei An said to Li Miaozhen and Lina.

Xiao Si, who was standing next to him, felt embarrassed when he heard it.

"Come sit down and eat together."

Wei An greeted him.

At noon, Xiao Si was busy adding more food to Lina's meal. While they were eating, Xiao Si was still adding more food.

The evening was obviously prepared.

Such a big round table is filled with dishes.

"How can a servant sit at the same table with you, sir?"

Xiao Si waved his hands and shook his head repeatedly.

"You are my disciple after all, so why not?"

Wei An smiled.

Xiao Si trembled when he heard this, and his eyes turned slightly red.

He still declined.

Finally, at Wei An's insistence, he sat in the worst seat.

"Thanks to you two, the house has become a little more festive. I'll serve tea instead of wine to you two."

Wei An raised his teacup and saluted.

Lina immediately put down the chopsticks in her hand, but then felt something was wrong, so she picked up the chopsticks with her left hand and raised the teacup with her right hand.

After finishing a cup, immediately switch the chopsticks back to your right hand.

"Okay, eat."

Wei An said to her.

"Is Wei Wuyang at home?"

As he finished speaking, a voice sounded from outside.

Just listening to the voice, there is full of energy and a faint humming sound, it must be a warrior.

"Sir, I'll go."

Xiao Si stood up immediately.

Lina held her chopsticks in the air and looked at Wei An.

Should I eat it or not?

"Eat, eat."

Wait until Wei An stretched out his chopsticks and took the first bite.

Lina entered combat mode.

"Sir, there's a man outside claiming to be the deputy general of the King of Zhenbei. He says he has a way to save Second Young Master Xu."

After a while, Xiao Si came to report.

Li Miaozhen was so disgusted that she frowned.

After snatching two pieces of food from Lina, I finally calmed down.

"It's not even tomorrow yet."

She sneered faintly.

Wei An waved his hand and said to Xiao Si, "Sit down and eat."

Immediately, Li Miaozhen and the other two clearly heard the sound of the door closing.

Chu Xianglong looked at the slowly closing door with a look of surprise.

Was he...rejected?

His expression suddenly darkened.

You don't know how to appreciate it!

After taking a cold look at the gate, Chu Xianglong strode onto the carriage.

……

Second day

Yuan Jing frequently convened small court meetings.

Question the list of people from the three divisions and the night watchmen going to Chuzhou.

Seeing that Emperor Yuan Jing was displeased.

The Censorate, the Ministry of Justice and the capital's government office named people on the spot.

Wei Yuanyan still needed to coordinate with others, so the matter was delayed.

Haoqi Building

"He's anxious."

Wei An said after listening to his uncle's retelling.

Wei Yuan fell into deep thought.

Some speculation had already emerged before.
