Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 131 His Highness is Too Competitive
In late May, the Southern Demon Kingdom was restored.

Not only did he retake the Shiwan Mountains, but he also gathered some of the remnants of the Northern Demons under the Nine-tailed Fox.

The Northern Demon disappeared in the long river of time.

Of the Northern Barbarians, only Pei Man was left struggling to hold on in the West Tower.

Not even a single person can pull it together.

Pei Manxilou voluntarily ceded territory in exchange for Dafeng's supply of weapons and food.

It's called compromise.

In fact, Pei Manxiluo also knew that this move would undoubtedly be like drinking poison to quench thirst.

Dafeng almost incorporated the entire northern border into its territory.

Sooner or later, the Northern Barbarians will follow the same path as the Northern Monsters.

this day
Observatory

The Bagua platform is covered with runes in cinnabar.

It is a soul-calling formation used in conjunction with the soul-calling banner.

The Supervisor stood up, which was very rare.

Song Qing, Mu Feng, Sun Xuanji, and in the distance, there was Yang Qianhuan with his back to the crowd.

Today is the last day of late spring.

Not long after, Wei Yuan also arrived.

Finally, there is Huaiqing.

"His Majesty."

Everyone salutes.

Wei An was also among them.

The queen is very concerned about her reputation.

Huai Qingxu helped him up.

Everyone stood up and looked back at Wei An.

The latter took the soul-calling banner from Song Qing.

This banner is more than 13 feet tall.

The flagpole is black in color and has dense small holes.

The same black banner was decorated with many tadpole runes outlined in gold powder.

The moment Wei An grasped the flagpole, a strong yin energy tried to penetrate into his body.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t even get past the skin barrier.

Wei An couldn't help but look at Song Qing.

The latter was found wearing a pair of gloves.

It should be a magic weapon to isolate the evil spirit from the soul-calling banner.

Sun Xuanji handed over three incense sticks and Wei An reached out to take them.

But Huaiqing intercepted it.

She and Wei An looked at each other.

There is no need for verbal communication, the two of them divide the work and cooperate with each other.

Huaiqing lights incense.

Wei An lightly flew into the air and landed in front of the dean's body.

There was also a small black porcelain bottle placed side by side with the dean's body.

The corpse and the small porcelain bottle were placed in the center of the formation.

Huaiqing inserted three incense sticks into the incense burner, and Wei An waved the soul-calling banner.

At the same time, he shouted, "Zhao Shou, soul return!"

"Ang~"

A faint dragon roar could be heard in the sky.

The sky, which was clear just now, suddenly began to roll up dark clouds from somewhere and gathered above the observatory.

Countless evil spirits flew in from all directions.

"So fast?"

"Quick!"

"This is the best material for refining magic tools!"

Song Qing urged the warlocks around him.

He added, "Don't take the dean's soul away."

Everyone cast their eyes over.

I saw several sorcerers including Song Qing, who were as happy as children, busy with the collected magic weapons!

The Supervisor sighed softly and with a wave of his hand, he sent these unruly disciples away.

And quietly collected the remaining evil spirits flying in the air.

Everyone looked at Wei An again.

The runes painted with gold powder on the soul-calling banners all lit up.

A brilliant masterpiece of light!
It stretched a little bit more, forming a golden ribbon ten feet wide, extending into the distant void.

Not long after, a soul wrapped in golden light came over.

His steps were extremely fast, and it looked like he was taking one step, but in fact he was taking several steps.

Judging from his figure, it was Zhao Shou!
"Dean!"

"Dean!"

"... "

Zhang Shen, Chen Tai, Qi Yuan and others were moved.

Zhao Shou's soul suddenly stopped, he smiled at everyone, and flew into his body.

The next moment, in the space filled with raging evil spirits, everyone clearly saw two white streams spurting out of the dean's nostrils.

"Dean."

Chen Tai and his companions wanted to go forward, but they did not dare to destroy the formation.

The supervisor made a move.

Zhao Shoufei broke out of the formation.

Chen Tai and the other two immediately helped him sit down.

He was anxious just now, but now he no longer asks questions.

Just pay close attention to Zhao Shou's situation.

Wei An looked at her with bright eyes, then looked away.

With a flip of his hand, the cork in the small porcelain bottle flew out.

He immediately shouted, "Wei Feng, soul return!"

Wang Zhenwen and other senior officials couldn't help but look at him.

This is important!

It has been confirmed that Wei Feng's wife is from the lineage of Emperor Gaozu.

Wei Feng’s situation is different from that of the dean.

The dean's body is still there.

And only a remnant soul of Wei Feng remained.

Wei An and Wei Fengruo have no blood relationship.

There is no chance of success in summoning spirits!
And Wei An was indeed able to invite the heroic spirit of Emperor Gaozu.

Is Wei An from another branch?

For example, is it related to the one in Qianlong City?
"Ang~"

There was a loud dragon roar above the sky.

On the golden ribbon, the soul that walked out of the void this time was different from Zhao Shou's.

My steps kept stumbling.

He looked confused.

The moment he walked towards the small porcelain bottle, the residual soul in the bottle flew out and merged with it.

Golden instant masterpiece!
After slowly extinguishing, a spirit walked out.

He looks like a middle-aged man, and his facial features are somewhat similar to Wei Yuan and Wei An.

Shenhun's eyes were clear, but he looked at everyone present and felt a little confused.

There was only a pause on Wei Yuan's face.

When he looked at Wei An, his pupils trembled.

Although the last time they met was several years ago, Wei Feng still recognized him.

"An'er?"

He called out tentatively.

Wei Feng’s current situation is rather special.

It is called a spirit, but it is different from ordinary spirits.

Wei An put the soul-calling flag into the jade gourd at his waist.

The rolling dark clouds in the sky then dissipated.

The remaining evil spirits flying in the air also returned to the earth.

Wei An stepped forward and saluted solemnly, "Father."

His words were full of respect, without much intimacy.

Wei Feng didn't care, and there was a smile on his face.

Wei Yuan also stepped forward and bowed, saying, "It has been decades since we last met. Do you still remember me, big brother?"

"Little brother?"

Wei Feng was stunned.

My memory was instantly brought back to the old house in Yuzhou.

He tried to ask in disbelief, "Xiao Yuan?"

The eyes of several people present twitched.

There is not a single person in the whole country who calls Wei Yuan like this.

No, the former queen counts as one.

"Brother."

Wei Yuan bowed again.

"I just thought those bastards from the Wushen Cult were trying to fool me, but I never thought you, Xiao Yuan, would actually..."

Wei Feng's expression was moved.

Even in his trance, he seemed to be crying.

"Brother, let's talk at home." Wei Yuan stopped him.

Wei Feng wiped away the non-existent tears, glanced at the crowd, and smiled embarrassedly.

Wang Zhenwen recalled his crazy appearance in the hall, which was completely different from his current appearance.

The hatred of genocide and destruction of family is too torturous!

"Father, let's go home first." Wei An also said.

A look of sadness flashed across Wei Feng's brows.

My current state...

Every day you spend with Xiaoyuan and An'er is a day you can spend together.

Wei An took out the jade token he had prepared in advance.

The jade plaque is engraved with intricate runes.

"Father, please go in first." Wei An said.

Wei Feng did his duty without hesitation.

The body moved closer to the jade token.

It flew into the jade token in an instant.

Wei An put the jade token away, walked towards Zhao Shou, and saluted, "Dean, it's been a long time since we last met. How have you been?"

His joke was much more intimate this time.

Zhao Shou pointed at him with a smile, and then looked him over and over again, saying, "Okay, okay."

"I think the person who wants to see you the most right now is Xin Xue Zheng."

Wei An smiled.

Zhao Shou had a smile on his face, said something puzzled, and then looked at Chen Tai and others.

Chen Tai was embarrassed, but also delighted, saying, "Lord Maoshan and Lord Xu have also entered officialdom."

I've been very busy with official duties recently.

They couldn't help Xinshan either.

Zhao Shou was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

Then Xinshan is indeed busy.

"Uncle, I'll take the dean back to the academy."

Wei An said to Wei Yuan.

He saluted Huaiqing again and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

His Majesty…

A doubt in Zhao Shou's mind was resolved.

He had just seen the eldest princess's clothes and had some guesses.

"His Majesty."

"Dean."

Huaiqing stopped him in time.

"Dean, your health is of paramount importance. Please return to the academy first. I will visit you another day."

Huaiqing Road.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Shou still bowed.

"Teacher Jianzheng is back."

Wei An waved to the supervisor.

The group disappeared in the clear light.

……

Qingyun Mountain, Mountain Gate
"Dean."

"Dean!"

"... "

The students surrounded Zhao Shou and others.

There were earnest calls from his mouth.

Seeing this, Zhao Shou couldn't help but shed tears.

The sound was layered over and over again.

Wei An couldn't suppress it with supernatural powers either.

The group moved to the back mountain little by little.

The students then dispersed.

"Dean, being sentimental is stressful. You will be busy in the future." Wei An seemed to have something else to say.

Zhao Shou looked directly at Chen Tai and others on his left and right.

"Qin Zheng submitted a petition requesting the addition of a science subject to study Mathematics, a book written by this young man."

Chen Tai called him "boy", and pride was almost overflowing on his face.

Zhang Shen snorted and said, "I was just about to report to the dean that I'll be the runner-up in this spring's imperial examination."

He emphasized the word "second place".

Qi Yuan was quite helpless.

It started again.

"Oh, can we offer sacrifices to the ancestors?" Zhao Shou said in surprise.

Even if there is a top scorer in the future, he will not be as good as the runner-up in this exam.

This is the first battle in the imperial examination after the academy returned to the court!
"Waiting for you to preside over it."

Zhang Shen stroked his beard and smiled.

Chen Tai didn't care and said, "In a few days, Wuyang and His Majesty will get married. Please ask the dean to preside over the wedding."

He is Teacher Wei An, so what he said was not out of line at all.

Zhao Shou gave him a look.

Chen Tai's smile immediately faded.

How could Wei An not know?

"In two days, my father and I will come to invite the dean," he said.

Zhao Shoucai smiled and nodded.

Seeing that his commander had almost finished his story, Wei An finally brought up the doubts that had been lingering in his heart.

"Why did the dean then..."

He didn't finish.

Because Chen Tai stopped him in time with his eyes.

"I was so weary before, partly to preserve the secrets of the Confucian sages, and partly because I hadn't come up with a way to refute Cheng's teachings, and I couldn't let go."

"I am very pleased that you defeated Chengxue with your Xinxue. However, I also feel that the fate of Dafeng is uncertain. Therefore, as you said, I will continue to stay in the academy."

"That day, your uncle came to the academy to borrow the Sub-Sage Confucian cap and the Sage carving knife. He mentioned to me that he suspected that the one who transformed into the Three Pure Ones was Jeanne d'Arc."

"I…"

Zhao Shou stopped.

He suppressed his turbulent emotions, smiled at Wei An, and said, "Your uncle said this to me, it's definitely not a hint to me, and I don't believe it."

"No one knows that when I went to look for Yang Qianhuan that day, I also met the Supervisor."

"I asked the warden if that person was Jeanne d'Arc. He nodded, and I gave him a good scolding."

As Zhao Shou spoke, a look of relief appeared between his brows.

The rise of the Imperial College was partly due to the contribution of the Supervisor.

In other words, the decline in the status of the academy was more or less related to the supervisor.

He let his heart flow for a moment, then picked up the topic and continued, "I declared on the spot that I would destroy the destiny of Dafeng."

"The supervisor remained indifferent."

"A destiny master relies on the luck of a nation. His lifespan and strength rise and fall with the nation's luck."

"If he's not afraid, why should I be afraid?"

Zhao Shou was so deep in his words that he could hardly hide his excitement.

"Thinking of my life, I have dedicated myself to the academy, to Confucianism, to shattering the fate of the nation, to the people, and also to..."

"My teacher, Mr. Hanlu!"

After saying the four words "Hanlu Jushi", Zhao Shou finally couldn't hold back his tears.

Qi Yuan couldn't help but turn his body to the side and wiped away his tears with his robe sleeves.

With red eyes, he told Wei An a clichéd story.

The life of an old scholar who was down and out, poor and frustrated...

"Joan of Arc was dissolute and extravagant, ignoring state affairs and indulging in pleasure. She also dreamed of sitting and watching over the world forever, wishing to be an emperor forever. What a shameless person!"

Every time Qi Yuan mentioned it, he would curse.

This time, there was a big fight and export!
Chen Tai exhaled slowly and said, "There will come a time when we can ride on the wind and waves and sail across the vast ocean!"

"Yes, the clouds have finally cleared and the moon is visible!" Zhang Shen took over the conversation.

"It's a pity that Joan of Arc's spirit has been destroyed by me, and cannot be used to commemorate the humble monk." Wei An pretended to be stern and said.

Offering sacrifices to the spirits is even worse than grinding bones and scattering ashes.

Zhao Shou waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about him anymore."

Then he looked at Wei An and said, "You marry the eldest princess..."

Chen Tai immediately explained in a low voice.

"You... are too lazy." Zhao Shou scolded with a smile.

Being an emperor still requires his wife to do things for him!
"Your Highness has this talent, but I am still a little short of it." Wei An defended with a smile.

Several people talked together again.

Chen Tai suddenly asked, "I heard that you are harvesting rice on your farm today?"

"I was just about to say this, Dean, Teacher, Master Zhang, Master Yuanshan, I'll take my leave first."

Wei Andao.

"The early rice is harvested already?" Zhao Shou was surprised.

Chen Tai, Zhang Shen and Qi Yuan looked at each other.

I don't intend to expose students' past secrets in front of them.

Wei An bowed gratefully and stepped into the void.

After he left, Zhang Shencai said, "With the help of the Flower God, how can ordinary crops be compared?"

"Flower God? Why is this related to the princess?"

Zhao Shou was puzzled.

Seeing that Chen Tai was a little embarrassed, he understood what was going on.

He smiled and walked up the mountain with his hands behind his back.

For some reason, his steps became lighter and lighter.

……

Dahuangshan

The rice in the experimental field has been harvested and piled up in the yard.

The tenants on the farm stood in a circle.

At the center is a brand new wooden hand-operated threshing machine.

Zhuangtou and another man worked together.

One person steps on the pedals, driving the internal gears.

Another person feeds the heavy rice into the rapidly rotating roller.

There are solid iron wires on the rollers.

As it rotates, the wire removes the rice grains one by one.

The flying rice hit the wall of the wooden tube, making crisp sounds.

Then, under the action of gravitational potential energy, they gather together and slide automatically out of the exit.

"Oh my God, the prince is truly a god!"

The man threshing the grain was excited.

The village head raised his chin, feeling proud.

The tenants around also cried out in surprise.

By the time Wei An arrived, the rice in the experimental field had already been harvested.

The tenants surrounded the thresher and refused to leave.

I wanted to go up and touch it, but I was afraid of breaking it.

"Go back. There are still ten threshing machines for the rice to be harvested."

Wei An smiled at the tenants.

He added, "From now on, each of you will have one."

"One per family..."

A tenant exclaimed.

"Your Majesty, your grace is great."

Some people have kowtowed to express their gratitude.

"Go back."

Wei An rushed into the yard happily.

Mu Nanzhi and Luo Yuheng are both here.

"Hey, don't tease me."

Mu Nanzhi avoided him.

As Luo Yuheng said, she and Wei An are a perfect match.

Those who practice dual cultivation are too lazy to practice the skills.

The result was a loss of life.

"Sister, how can you look at me like that?"

Wei An said this, but his body followed suit.

Luo Yuheng was unable to dodge and his hand was caught by him.

"you really…"

Luo Yuheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I think the rice harvest is excellent, and the grains are plump and perfect for making seeds."

"Thank you for your hard work, Imperial Master and Sister."

he laughed.

Luo Yuheng was a little dazed for a moment, then smiled and said, "I really fell for your trick. Why did I believe you at that time?"

"This is destiny. My relationship with the Imperial Master is destined by heaven."

Wei An said without any shame.

Luo Yuheng's beautiful eyes sparkled and she rolled her eyes at him.

Mu Nanzhi spat.

Wei An looked at her, and before she could stop him, he added, "Same to my sister."

Mu Nanzhi quickly looked away.

Trying to distance yourself from him through actions.

Luo Yuheng knew that he was trying to please them in this way for no other reason than to prepare for his wedding with Huaiqing in a few days.

After all, they are nominally inferior to Huaiqing.

She looked at Mu Nanzhi.

The latter complained, but his sitting posture changed unconsciously.

Carefully protect the little life in the belly.

Offspring...

Her mind drifted away.

The commotion in my palm brought me back to reality.

Look at Wei An and meet his eyes.

The clear intention in that person's eyes.

Luo Yuheng turned his head away, but he felt a little moved in his heart.

……

this day
The female guards outside the hall were alert to any movement around them.

All the movements in the hall were blocked by a thin layer of light.

On the golden throne, Wei An picked up the powerless Huai Qing and stepped into the void.

When you come out again, you will find yourself in the hot spring pool of Lingbao Temple.

"get out."

Huaiqing struggled to muster up the last bit of strength and tried to regain rationality in his eyes.

"I want to wash too, Your Highness."

The name Wei An almost triggered Huaiqing's instinctive reaction.

Wei An really enjoyed doing this kind of... he called it role-playing with her.

He always wanted her to call him "Master Wei" or "Mr."

Even after she ascended the throne, he still called her Her Highness.

So when he called her 'Your Highness',

"Hurry up."

Huaiqing urged.

Dive into the hot soup.

Wei An followed in...

……

an hour later
Wan Yao Mountain, the imperial capital of the Southern Demon Kingdom

Wei An walked out of the void.

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty."

"... "

The demon elder saluted.

He returned the greeting cheerfully.

Wait until Wei An walks away.

The other demon elders said to the white ape, "What was your Highness thinking just now?"

The white ape stammered several times, remembering the consequences of his hasty words last time.

"I don't know."

He spoke from his heart.

The demon elders left with a sneer.

In the imperial garden, on a specially made lounge chair, a nine-tailed fox was basking in the sun, swaying leisurely.

Her belly was swollen, and she looked about five or six months pregnant.

Noticing the figure walking in through the archway, she said with a hint of tea, "Hey, Prince Wei, how come you have time to come to my place today?"

"Aren't there two pregnant women in Lingbao Temple?"

Wei An knew he was in the wrong and smiled apologetically, "I came to see you, to see you."

"Look at me?" The nine-tailed fox slowly stood up.

Wei An quickly dodged and supported him in time.

The nine-tailed fox met his eyes and slowly turned its tense face.

Go left.

Then go right.

"Okay, I'm done reading it, you can go back now."

She went back again.

Wei An took her slender hand and said in a lower tone, "I'm sorry, Fox Lord."

"Master Fox, come home with me."

Hearing his frank and sincere words, the nine-tailed fox turned its head and looked at him again, its heart softening.

She said, unwilling to lose, "Forget it."

"You have two pregnant women in your family. I don't know who to turn to when I get into trouble."

"You promised to come three times a month, and now it's the end of the month, and she's pestering you every day?"

She became annoyed and her tone became heavier.

Wei An's expression froze.

Your Highness has good physical strength.

Mainly because of competitiveness.

"My bad." He said softly.

He held her slender hands in his hands and said, "I missed you."

The nine-tailed fox's eyes suddenly softened, and she said in a sweet voice, "Carry me in."
