Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 113 Have you heard of Baidi?
imperial study room

Although he had not yet ascended the throne, Huaiqing's attire had changed compared to before.

A golden crown replaced the elegant jewelry and tied up her long black hair.

More cool and luxurious.

Seeing that she was still handling official business, Wei An couldn't help but say, "You should take a break too."

Huaiqing paused, looked up at him, and said, "Then help me."

Wei An stood up without saying a word.

Huaiqing also stood up when he saw this.

After sitting down, Wei An took the memorial.

This is a memorial from the Ministry of Revenue. It has no real content and is full of flattery.

He wrote 'It doesn't have to be like this' as soon as he put pen to paper.

Huaiqing was not surprised that he could write characters exactly the same as his own.

Confucianism has this ability.

Besides, he had read her handwriting many times.

Pick up another one, it's still full of flattery.

'Why is it like this?'

Still just four words to get rid of it.

Huaiqing stood aside, stretching his muscles as he said, "Zheng Xinghuai, the governor of Chuzhou, wants to see you."

"Didn't my uncle tell him to take care of the bodies of the people in Chuzhou? Why did he come to Beijing?" Wei An frowned.

All in all, it’s only been one day.

"I want to thank you in person. Thanks to your teleportation device, the situation in the court would have changed dramatically." Huai Qing twisted his neck and added, "He handed over the report, and there are only a little over 100,000 intact corpses."

"It is difficult to describe in words." Wei An uttered another four words.

He also wrote four words on a memorial: "superficial and irrelevant."

"If you continue criticizing like this, these people will be terrified."

Huaiqing pulled him up.

"We must not delay the cleanup of the bureaucracy. Once the steam engine is fully deployed, earth-shaking changes will occur. Those who cannot keep up will be kicked out."

Wei An took the opportunity to put his arm around her slender waist.

Huaiqing looked at him with a smile and said, "Your ruthlessness is indeed suitable for this position."

"It's not heartless, it's just a last resort."

"If you don't let them tighten this string now and realize that you are different from the previous emperors, they will still fool you."

"Besides, this hasn't even reached its intensity yet."

Huaiqing agreed with Wei An's words.

The two of them had similar thoughts.

His attitude softened a bit now.

Once he successfully ascends the throne, there will be a great purge!
A large number of scholars from academies will enter the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate.

"Thanks a lot."

Wei An then used his words to refresh her physical condition.

In fact, he refreshed Huaiqing's physical condition as soon as he returned to Beijing.

But the damage done to the mind and spirit cannot be made up.

Huaiqing was stretching his muscles just now to relax his mind.

"You left in a hurry just now, and I haven't asked you yet. What do you think of the Nine-tailed Fox when you saw her today?" Huaiqing asked.

Wei An pondered for a moment and said, "Looking at his palm-to-palm confrontation with the Imperial Master, although his strength is not as high as that of a First-Rank Master, it should not be underestimated."

"When discussing the alliance with them, there's no need to get entangled. Be direct and forceful."

There was a hint of arrogance in his words.

Huaiqing nodded slightly.

I talked with Huaiqing and had lunch with him.

It was just sunset when Wei An returned home.

"gentlemen."

"Prince Wei."

Before the clear light completely dissipated, two voices rang out.

They are Xiao Si and Taoist Jinlian.

Wei An looked over and saw Xu Qian'an.

"Where are the Saint and Lina?"

Wei An asked Xiao Si.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter in the front yard.

Li Miaozhen, Chu Caiwei and Lina came over talking and laughing.

The former is fine.

The latter two, especially Lina, had arms full of butter paper bags.

The aroma of crispy food and sauce hits you in the face, you don’t even need to open it to know that this snack is delicious.

"Yeah." Li Miaozhen folded her arms, gestured to Lina with her chin, and said to Wei An, "Remember to settle the bill for me."

"Okay." Wei An nodded.

The three of them seemed quite happy.

He put aside the dispute between heaven and man and looked at Taoist Master Jinlian.

This time, Taoist Master Jinlian did not use the body of a cat, but that of a human.

"Brother Ning Yan, Taoist Priest, how come you have time to come today?"

He smiled and gestured for invitation, leading the two into the flower hall.

Li Miaozhen took Chu Caiwei to her and Lina's house.

"King Wei."

"Master Taoist, you and I are acquaintances. There is no need to be so unorthodox." Wei An stopped him and said.

"Okay." Jinlian nodded, her brows relaxed a little, and she looked a little embarrassed. "This time, I still need your help."

Jinlian revealed that the nine-colored lotus seeds of Dizong were about to mature.

"Speaking of which, I was worried that the Taoist priest's evil spirit would come to the capital to cause trouble, so I gave the Imperial Master a spell to summon Yun Yasheng."

"But I haven't seen him in Chuzhou either. It's really strange."

Wei An smiled.

His expression was calm and relaxed.

When facing a combination of evil thoughts and bad intentions like Black Lotus, the lethality of Confucian righteousness and the Song of Righteousness is more than just doubled.

"Ask for Yun Yasheng's spell?"

Jinlian didn't feel comfortable for a moment.

After understanding, he looked at Wei An in astonishment.

So when this boy reached the fourth-rank gentleman realm, he added a magic spell to Confucianism to invite the Confucian sub-sages and saints?

Not only him, even Saren Agu once thought that Wei An's invitation to the saint was just a spell of the Witch God Cult to summon heroic spirits.

"Master, even if I have the blessing of literary luck, a saint's carving knife in my hand, and can summon the heroic spirit of a saint at his peak, I still can't handle it." Wei An explained.

He added, "I can go with the Taoist priest for a trip, but it's not in vain. I hope the Taoist priest will understand."

"Of course, there are quite a few nine-colored lotus seeds. I can give you three or five!" said Jinlian.

He originally planned to ask the members of the Tiandihui for help with these five lotus seeds.

Now that there is a better choice, it is only natural to give it all to Wei An.

"One lotus seed is enough." Wei An shook his head.

Jinlian almost burst into tears after hearing this.

What a kind man this is!

Just join his sect!

Unexpectedly, Wei An added, "Master, please give me a piece of nine-colored lotus root and a piece of lotus root."

Jinlian was startled, but then quickly reacted, gritted her teeth, and readily agreed, "Okay."

"Thank you, Taoist priest." Wei An bowed.

"It's me who should thank you for your help."

Jinlian sarcastically bowed to Wei An.

After getting up, he left immediately, leaving the flower hall to Wei An and Xu Qian'an.

Wei An looked at Xu Qian'an.

The latter looked solemn.

"Brother Ning Yan seems to be worried about something." He said with a smile.

Just then, Xiao Si came over to serve tea.

Wei An gestured for him to have some tea first to calm his mind.

The flower hall is a little quieter.

Xu Qian'an stood up, took out an envelope from his pocket, handed it to Wei An, and said, "It was delivered to my home this morning. It was sent by a little beggar in the north of the city."

"I interrogated him using the Qi-gazing technique. A man in white left it to him yesterday."

Wei An opened the envelope while listening to Xu Qian'an.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but sigh, "Your father really put a lot of effort into this!"

Before he even saw the contents of the letter, he asked Xu Qian'an, "How much do you believe the contents of this letter?"

"I don't believe it at all!" Xu Qian'an said decisively.

Wei An nodded, read the letter carefully, folded it up again and put it away, saying, "Let me tell you."

"Your father, Xu Pingfeng, is the chief disciple of the Imperial Guard, Jeanne d'Arc."

After he finished speaking, Xu Qian'an's brows knitted together, then suddenly relaxed and he shook his head with a smile, "Uncle is my father, and he is also my father. There's a world of difference!"

"So, in the tax case, he wanted to get me out of the capital and extract the national fortune from me."

"In Yunzhou, no wonder he came close to me and then ran away. He must have discovered me."

He paused.

I was so angry that I got dizzy.

The words slipped out.

"There's no need to hide it. The Supervisor already knew that Shen Shu's severed arm was inside you. He even tried to cover it up for you before, you know."

"The supervisor told me everything."

"Your crisis has been resolved. You don't have to worry all day long."

Wei An pointed out what he wanted to hide.

He continued, "I am also a descendant of our great-grandfather. If I am not mistaken, I was indeed trapped by the Wushen Cult before. However, someone in the Wushen Cult was bewitched by Xu Pingfeng and kidnapped me at his behest."

"I was sent to the capital not to be a spy or gather intelligence, but to get to know you, slowly get to know you, and then find an opportunity to use some secret technique to extract the national destiny from your body."

"Do you still remember? When I first arrived in Beijing, I didn't know where the academy was. It was Brother Cijiu who took me there."

As soon as Wei An finished speaking, Xu Qian'an got goose bumps all over his body, his scalp tingled, and he looked horrified!
His father really planned everything for the destiny of the country in his body!
What’s the use of being too clever and scheming?

Xu Qian'an snorted coldly, his heart filled with disgust towards Xu Pingfeng!
Wei An stood up and said softly, "This matter is over. This person can't cause any trouble."

"Brother Ning Yan, you don't need to worry too much. Life will go on as usual."

Xu Qian'an sighed, clasped his fists, and was about to bow down when Wei An stopped him, "There's no need for this between you and me."

Meeting his smiling eyes, Xu Qian'an secretly made up his mind.

You can't always indulge in brothels.

At least half an hour a day should be devoted to practicing martial arts.

Strive to restore the country’s fortune as soon as possible!

"sit down."

"Your mother, your brother, and your sister are currently at the Yunzhou government office. You can go and see them, or you can bring them to the capital."

Wei Andao.

Xu Qian'an felt infinite emotion in his heart.

Then Wei An said, "I've read the chemistry book you wrote. It's pretty good."

"I thought you were more adept at criminal justice. From now on, I will need Brother Ning Yan's unwavering support."

Xu Qian'an looked serious and clasped his fists, saying, "That's exactly what I wish for."

The two talked together again.

Taoist Master Jinlian came in again and confirmed that we would set off the day after tomorrow.

After Wei An sent the two out of the mansion, a teleportation formation suddenly lit up in the small area in front of the gate.

"Holding the sun, moon and stars in my hand, there is no one like me in the world!"

"The pinnacle of art, the pride of the world, as long as I have thousands of illusions, there will be heaven!"

"Brother Yang, come in and have some tea."

Wei An smiled and waved at the back of Nade.

Yang Qianhuan said in a deep voice, "Let's go, the teacher is looking for you."

"it is good."

Wei An turned around and gave Xiao Si a few instructions.

Disappeared in the light together with Yang Qianhuan.

Observatory, Bagua Terrace

The old man with white hair and beard was drinking as usual.

There was a hint of relaxation between his brows.

"Look at you, Teacher. You seem to have recovered well. When will you join me in destroying Jingshan City and attacking Alanta?"

Wei An joked.

The Supervisor glanced at him and said, "You have the ambition to conquer the world. If you want to unify the nine provinces, you must rely on yourself. I will only intervene if an external enemy attacks."

"Teacher Jianzheng means that Xu Pingfeng is an internal enemy?"

The warden glanced at him again.

It's annoying. You're bringing up things that are not related to the topic.

Wei An sat down happily, "Teacher, what did you call me for?"

The Supervisor picked up the small wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, letting the wind carry away some of the alcohol. Then he asked, "Have you heard of Baidi?"
