Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 90 Luo Yuheng: I have a favor to ask for

"If the truth is revealed, will it implicate you and Wei An?"

After listening to Luo Yuheng's words, Mu Nanzhi thought for a while and said hesitantly.

She cherishes Luo Yuheng, a good friend with whom she can confide her true feelings.

Luo Yuheng also knew that Prince Huai was powerful.

"This matter was accomplished in secrecy. If it is exposed, you will be the first to bear the brunt of the consequences."

"Of course, the choice is up to you."

She didn't necessarily have to make it happen.

Mu Nanzhi shrank back. She couldn't force him from behind.

Mu Nanzhi frowned and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly his brows relaxed and he said, "I heard you mention that this kid is a little short of money?"

"You want to buy?"

"Not short of money!"

"You must ask him first."

"Of course. Tell him I've given him enough money. South Market, East Market, Guiyue Tower, Dahuang Mountain... all have anchor points marked."

"In the morning, I'll go to Tonghe Garden for breakfast, at noon, I'll go to Guiyue Tower for lunch, and later in the evening, I'll go to Nanmiao to enjoy the lanterns. I'll find some time to go to Dahuangshan to see those new things, hehe."

She raised her chin.

That look is just short of having 'I'm smart' written on it.

Luo Yuheng poured out a cup of brewed tea and handed it to Mu Nanzhi, smiling faintly, "You think your exposure isn't fast enough."

Mu Nanzhi immediately lost her temper.

After frowning in distress and thinking, she said solemnly, "Guiyue Tower, Dahuang Mountain, and Nan Temple, no matter what, I need them. Please help me, Imperial Master."

"can."

……

A tea shop

"Mr. Wei looked calm as he stepped into the Eight Sufferings Formation. Hey, guess what?"

A group of people from the capital city were watching the magic fight in front of the Observatory.

Regardless of whether the onlookers today have sharp ears and eyes as warriors and can hear the conversation between Wei An and the old monk.

Putting these people aside, there are still many people in the capital who don't have the leisure to do that.

Only during this short break, I can listen and join in the fun.

"Say it!"

"The old man is always good at keeping people in suspense!"

"Reward, reward, reward!"

"... "

After a while of jingling, the storyteller smiled and gathered up the copper coins on the storytelling platform (the storyteller's table). He picked them up and said, "Mr. Wei has just stepped in and he is out again."

"Oh, this Eight Sufferings Formation of Buddhism is made of paper!"

"You don't see how amazing this is?"

"Could it be that the Buddhist sect is intentionally letting the water go?"

"... "

The group of people who listen to storytelling are the lowest class of people.

"What do you know?"

"The Eight Sufferings are birth, aging, sickness, death, separation from loved ones, resentment, unfulfilled desires, and the blazing flames of the five aggregates. The Eight Sufferings Array, as its name suggests, if you were to experience these eight sufferings, you would be liberated in no time and kneel before the Buddha statue. Mr. Wei, you must have a will as strong as steel and a resilient heart to have escaped so easily."

A knowledgeable man in the world said.

"Hey, the old monk wants to convert Mr. Wei."

"Mr. Wei is so young, and he doesn't even have a child yet. The old monk has such a bad heart, bah!"

"... "

This man from the underworld was a little stunned.

That's not the point he was making.

At this time, there was a commotion on the road and pedestrians hid to the side.

Everyone looked at it.

"It's Lord Yuanshan! He seems to be going to announce the imperial decree!"

"Take it as an imperial edict to Mr. Wei!"

"I wonder what His Majesty will reward Mr. Wei?"

"... "

Each and every word is enough to make people who don't understand what is going on understand.

……

after a cup of tea

魏宅
"I'm fine. Don't worry. I'll sit for a while and then leave."

After announcing the decree, Qi Yuan was not so happy for the students.

"It's unacceptable for you to come to a student's home and not have a cup of tea."

Wei An made tea for Qi Yuan.

He walked out of the flower hall again and counted out an ingot of silver.

"This general, everyone, please don't despise him."

"I'd like to trouble Captain Xu to take you all to the teahouse across the street for some tea. Mr. Yuanshan will have a few words with me."

Among the team escorting Lord Yuanshan to announce the decree today is Xu Pingzhi.

"Mr. Wei, you are too polite. Today, Mr. Wei has triumphed over Buddhism and has brought great honor to our great sect. I would like to offer you a cup of tea to congratulate you. Please do not despise me."

The general of the Jinwu Guard stepped forward, looking respectful and speaking sincerely.

"General, your words really embarrass me." Wei An waved his hand, thought for a moment, bowed, and said neatly, "I apologize for the expense, General."

Although he said this, he still winked at Xu Pingzhi.

The Jinwu Guard officer smiled happily, "It's not a big deal, it's not a big deal."

Wei An saw him off and finally handed the silver ingot to Xu Pingzhi.

"Sir, you are making it difficult for me to be a human being."

Xu Pingzhi looked distressed and helpless.

Wei An smiled and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Captain Xu."

"Please come to my house someday. I will always think of you when we say goodbye."

"Okay, I haven't seen Brother Nian for a long time."

"... "

Returning to the flower hall, I could see Qi Yuan's furrowed brow from afar.

He poured a cup of tea for Qi Yuan and said, "Why worry, Lord Yuanshan? I have no intention of entering the court."

Qi Yuan raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes full of solemnity, and said in a deep voice, "You know, Wuyang, the original intention of this decree was for your teacher to come and announce it. Youping was on duty today and didn't have time to come and watch your fight. He was already a little unhappy. When he learned about this, he was furious. I persuaded him and asked for this task myself."

"You only conferred a title, but no real job. You're leaving such a talent like yours to the common people. How truly, truly... foolish!"

This moment, that moment.

Although Lord Yuanshan is now a court official, he is still so angry about Wei An's reward, which shows his sincerity.

"Sir, be careful with your words."

Wei An twisted a talisman out of thin air and threw it to the ground. An invisible light enveloped the area, making it difficult for anyone to hear.

Since he had been communicating frequently with Senior Brother Qian Huan, he had learned all kinds of strange formations.

"You didn't see those people from the Imperial College. When they heard that you were promoted to a higher title, they were grinning so hard that they couldn't close their mouths. You were the one who was given the title, but these people didn't even pretend to stop them. They are so shameless!" Qi Yuan slammed the mahogany table with anger, his hair standing on end.

With Mr. Yuanshan's experience, he should not take these party tactics seriously.

I feel unfair about the rewards he received.

It’s probably more because Qi Yuanjing didn’t take any action.

Wei An didn't say anything. He drank two cups of tea with Yuanshan Gong and talked with him, which helped to calm his anger a little.

……

The setting sun
Wei An is blessing the magic circle for the "Anywhere Door".

A strong light appeared in the yard.

He sensed something and glanced out the window, meeting her gaze.

"Why is His Highness here?"

Wei An went out to greet him with a smile.

There was a hint of guilt in Huaiqing's usually cold eyes.

Wei An immediately understood and said with a smile, "The fiefdom of Taikang County now belongs to me, besides Your Highness. This is great."

"Your Highness, please teach me more in the future. With so many fiefs, I'm sure it won't be as peaceful as before."

Huaiqing saw that he didn't care and instead took pleasure in it.

He felt even more guilty, but also smiled and said, "I intend to start arranging the steam train tracks as soon as possible."

Wei An nodded, "Okay, tomorrow I'll ask Senior Brother Qian Huan to make a few. Should we go to Yuzhou or Xiangzhou first?"

"Uncle Wang is helping to defend Yuzhou, so let's go to Xiangzhou first." Huaiqing looked at him and said.

Xiangzhou and Leizhou are adjacent to the Shiwanda Mountains.

In the Ten Thousand Mountains, Buddhists, demons, and poison tribes live together.

"If we can make it tomorrow, Senior Brother Yang and I will first determine a few anchor points. This will make it easier to survey the route and transport the rail materials."

Wei An finalized.

"Thank you for your help."

Huaiqing became much more efficient after getting into the work.

After talking to her for a while, Wei An sent her back to Lanyue Palace.

Before leaving, he pulled out two Anywhere Doors from his sleeves. "Your Highness, place this one in a safe place in the palace. You can activate the other one later to return."

Huaiqing took it, and the magic weapon was still warm.

She lowered her eyes, "Is there anything you need my help with?"

Wei An pondered for a moment, then said to her solemnly, "Your Highness should be prepared. You will get what you want."

Huaiqing was stunned.

Wei An turned around and smiled, "Your Highness has overcome all difficulties and realized my vision. I should thank Your Highness."

"Your Highness, see you later."

His smiling face disappeared in the clear light.

Huaiqing's gaze remained fixed for a while before he left.

……

魏宅
"Where have you been?"

Wei An had just walked out of the clear light when a voice sounded beside him.

He quickly identified the owner of the voice and was still a little scared.

"Why is the Imperial Master here?"

After saying this, he was stunned.

Under the old pine tree, Luo Yuheng took light steps and said, "I have come here to discuss something with you, and I also want to ask for a favor."

Have something to ask for?

Wei An restrained his expression and gestured towards the main hall, "Grand Master, please come in."

After Luo Yuheng entered the main hall, he cast another spell and threw it on the ground.

"Confucianism's teachings are followed by the law, allowing you to apply them to perfection."

Luo Yuheng glanced at the void in the outer courtyard and said.

"It's just so-so." Wei An smiled. "Would you like some tea, Imperial Master?"

"No need."

"Then let's talk about it."

Wei Anben didn't want to make tea anymore.

On this day, I hadn't had a proper lunch yet, and just drank a lot of tea.

Luo Yuheng first told Mu Nanzhi what he had asked.

"Master, I want a definite answer. If I send her a magical instrument, will she help me cultivate rice?"

Wei An said seriously.

"nature."

Luo Yuheng nodded slightly and added, "It's not just about teleporting magic tools."

"Of course, I will also take care of the supporting installation." Wei An nodded.

"it is good."

One thing is settled.

Luo Yuheng paused and said, "Do you know the struggle between heaven and man?"

"I've heard a lot, but I don't know the details."

Wei An nodded.

"According to legend, the Renzong and..."

Luo Yuheng explained in detail.

Wei An stood up and said, "I've had some contact with Li Miaozhen. He has a strong sense of chivalry and is also arrogant. I'm not familiar with Chu Yuanzhen, but judging by his experience, he must also be arrogant."

"I will send invitations to the two of them. If they cannot defeat me, it would be better to replace them to compete with each other to avoid embarrassment. Does this arrangement seem acceptable to the Imperial Master?"

Luo Yuheng raised his eyebrows, a hint of smile in his eyes, "I can't tell whether you are a warrior or a scholar."

"I just hope that Tianzong won't come and attack me." Wei An smiled bitterly.

The domineering attitude just now is gone.

Tianzong Taishang is ruthless and anyone who stands in his way can be killed!

Luo Yuheng was silent for a moment, then said, "If this is accomplished, there will be no more cause and effect between you and me."

She was not just saying this casually; it was a Taoist curse.

As long as Wei An nods, the oath will be fulfilled.

"That's not necessary. I've even asked the Imperial Master to help me with the rice issue."

Wei An refused.

Luo Yuheng was stunned. "Now that you've returned to the capital, I'll take over."

"It will be the beginning of spring in a few days, and I can't go out casually. I still need to trouble the Imperial Master."

Luo Yuheng thought about it and nodded, "Okay."

……

Into the night
Palace, Study

"Prime Minister, the Spring Examination will be held a few days after the beginning of spring. Now that Qi Yuan is the Minister of Rites, we must be on guard."

Sun Min carefully handed a cup of tea to Wang Zhenwen.
