Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 24 Why didn’t you say it earlier?

"Tsk."

Nangong Qianrou sneered, opened the food box and arranged the food.

Wei An's face was filled with sadness. "Uncle, how can you bear to say that? I am your nephew, blood is thicker than water."

"Cousin." Wei Yuan pointed out the inappropriateness of his words, rolled up his sleeves, walked to the side, washed his hands with water from the copper basin, looked at Wei An, walked towards the table, and said, "I don't keep useless people here, people who have no merit. Tell me, why do you want me to keep you?"

Wei An reacted very quickly and bowed, "Uncle, whatever you ask me to do, I will do it with all my heart."

Nangong Qianrou, who was waiting on the side, seemed to smell something disgusting and couldn't help but frowned.

Wei Yuan picked up the bamboo chopsticks, thought for a moment, and said, "You stay here with me, helping Qianrou interrogate a prisoner every two days. When you leave, can you leave ten pieces of Qi-Watching Technique?"

"Interrogate the criminal? I don't have much experience. I haven't even learned how to copy the Qi-reading technique." Wei An said truthfully.

"That's fine. Qianrou will teach you how to do it. As for the Qi-gazing technique, take two back and try them out. If you really can't learn it, go back to the academy and learn it, and then send me twenty."

Ten becomes twenty!

Nangong Qianrou's body was slightly tense, and her eyes seemed not to be on Wei An, but in fact her attention was all on Wei An.

"Well, it's as my uncle said."

The moment Wei An nodded, Nangong Qianrou even felt a little skeptical. He agreed to it right away?

Wei Yuan was also surprised. He thought Wei An would mention the price.

"Okay, you can stay in the quiet room downstairs." He smiled.

Wei An nodded and stood there without moving.

"Huh? Is there anything else?" Wei Yuan turned his head and looked at him puzzledly.

"Uncle, I haven't had dinner yet." Wei An said pitifully.

"Set up another table for him like this." Wei Yuanli looked at Nangong Qianrou and pointed at the standard dishes on the table.

Wei An took a look and saw one meat dish and two vegetable dishes, which was better than the three vegetable dishes last time.

"Yes, foster father."

Nangong Qianrou was in a good mood.

Just as he took half a step forward, Wei An said, "That's all? Uncle is a bit stingy."

"Oh? Then what do you want to eat?" Wei Yuan paused his chopsticks and looked at him curiously.

"There's a saying in Qingzhou: When a nephew comes to his uncle's house, he can eat whatever he wants. Uncle, I don't ask for much. I'll have a serving of tiger yuan soup first."

Nangong Qianrou thought for a moment that she had misheard.

I've only heard of uncles loving their nephews, but never heard of uncles loving their nephews?

He even asked for a serving of tiger yuan soup first, and the boy just opened his mouth and asked for it!
He only got three copies in ten days, so it goes without saying how precious they are.

Moreover, it is harmful rather than beneficial for ordinary people to eat tiger essence soup.

He immediately said, "You don't practice martial arts, Tiger Yuan Geng is useless to you... Wait!"

Nangong Qianrou took three steps at a time, dodging to Wei An's side, reaching out to grab his wrist, and sending a burst of Qi...

"laugh!"

A wisp of invisible and tiny energy popped out!
In a flash, it cut through Nangong Qianrou's wrist guard and skin, penetrating deep into her muscles, just short of exposing the bone.

"Hmm? Sword Qi? When did you get this divine weapon to protect your master?" A gleam flashed in Nangong Qianrou's eyes, and her gaze was fixed on Wei An's robe sleeve.

He held Wei An's wrist and knew very well whether Wei An had used his abilities.

"This is a gift from the commander. Is Nangong Jinluo okay?" Wei An pushed his hand away and asked with concern.

"It's a small matter." Nangong Qianrou's Qi surged again, and the wound on her arm healed quickly. After a while, it was as if she had never been injured.

Wei An only then realized that there was not a drop of blood from Nangong Qianrou's wound.

Is this the magic of a fourth-grade warrior?

"I've noticed that you've also trained as a Gu Master. Why are you pursuing martial arts now? Do you really think you're a genius?" Nangong Qianrou asked with a frown.

Wei Yuan also looked over.

"Nangong Jinluo may not know, but it took me a lot of time to break through to the third level. I have already told the dean and teacher that I will also practice martial arts in order to prolong my life." Wei An explained immediately.

"Have you made such a great ambition?" Nangong Qianrou was inevitably shocked and a little embarrassed.

What a genius! He's only just reached the fourth rank, but he's already aiming for the third!
When the two of them weren't paying attention, a hint of emotion flashed in Wei Yuan's eyes.

"I just saw the target." Wei An said.

Nangong Qianrou was silent.

After a while, he said, "Martial arts are not easy. If you want to prolong your life, you must be at least at the fifth level. If you want to live longer, the third level is just the starting point. With your understanding, perhaps practicing Taoism will extend your life faster."

Wei An was stunned.

You didn’t tell me earlier!
Why didn't you tell me earlier?

In fact, it was because his level was not high enough and he had not accepted the position of a monk. At the same time, the rank recorded in the relevant books in the academy's scripture library was too low.

Seeing him like this, Nangong Qianrou was happy, "It's not too late to switch to Taoism now."

These words are both sarcastic and provocative.

"No need." Wei An said calmly.

"In that case, Qianrou, go get a portion of Tiger Yuan Soup and deduct it from my share." After Wei Yuan gave the order, he looked at Wei An and asked, "Do you want it for every meal, or?"

"One serving a day is enough, uncle." Wei An said.

"Okay, you go with Qianrou." Wei Yuan always handled things so neatly and rarely dragged his feet, except for the last time he was deceived.

"Thank you, uncle." Wei An smiled happily, but was a little puzzled. "Are you going to go with Nangong Jinluo?"

"The medicinal properties of Tiger Yuan Soup are too strong. When you have used half of it, you should practice boxing to help absorb and digest it. Of course, you can also use your Confucian ability to control yourself to reach the state of no leakage. Then you can practice boxing and practice the exercises whenever you want." Nangong Qianrou explained the reason.

"No need, no need. Thank you, Nangong Jinluo." Wei An decisively rejected the suggestion in Nangong Qianrou's words, which didn't sound very reliable.

He bowed to Wei Yuan and said, "Uncle, I will be leaving first."

Wei Yuan responded without even looking up, saying, "If you want to practice martial arts, there's a small courtyard behind Haoqi Tower. You can stay there temporarily."

"Thank you uncle."

"Ah."

...

Behind Haoqi Building, there is a small courtyard

With the help of Tongluo, the main house of the courtyard was quickly cleaned up.

Wei An is packing his luggage.

Suddenly, two auras approached from outside.

Is the Tiger Yuan Soup here?

He went out to greet them.

But it was Nangong Qianrou and another unknown Jin Luo.

The reason why we judge him to be Jin Luo is because his outfit is exactly the same as Nangong Qianrou's.

"Yang Yan." The young man didn't seem to be a talkative person and introduced himself very briefly.

"I've heard a lot about you, Yang Jinluo."

"Have you heard of me?"

"I..." Wei An was speechless for a moment.

"The scholar is being polite to you, but you take it seriously." Nangong Qianrou complained, and then said to Wei An, "Don't deal with him too much. He won't talk much now. Once you get to know him, he might bother you."

Yang Yan seemed to have been criticized a lot and didn't react much.

What a weird combination.

Wei An smiled somewhat stiffly, "It's okay, it's okay."

Seeing that his eyes kept glancing behind her, Nangong Qianrou smiled and said, "Wait a minute."

"Well, the two Jinluo, come in and sit for a while and have some tea." Wei An made a 'please' gesture.

Nangong Qianrou waved her hand. "I'm not that free. I see you don't seem busy either. How about going with me to interrogate someone?"

"At this moment? That's fine, that's fine. Nangong Jinluo will lead the way."
