Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 98: Bloody Massacre for Three Thousand Miles
Intermittent rainy weather in recent days.

It's a rare nice day today, with clear skies.

The work of arranging the anchor points has also come to an end.

Wei An stayed at home for two consecutive days, which was rare.

"call!"

"call!"

Xiao Si was practicing the Mountain-Shaking Fist in the front yard.

The young man may not be very talented, but he is able to stay calm and practice every morning and evening.

Wei An also provided him with all necessary supplies.

The young man looked at the gentleman who was practicing boxing stances just like him.

I was thinking about what to cook for my husband today.

Although he had been hired as a servant since he was young, his ancestors had made a living by their skill in stir-frying.

"What about people?"

"Wei is fine~"

Suddenly, there was a shout from outside the gate.

Xiao Si went to greet him immediately.

But after going around a screen wall, he soon came back.

"Sir, there is a female knight who calls herself Li Miaozhen and wants to see you."

"Please."

Wei An stood up, raised his hand, and wiped his chest from top to bottom, and all the stains and sweat stains on his clothes fell off.

Looking down at the brand new student uniform, Wei An nodded with satisfaction.

The Taoist Tianzong's "investigation of things and extension of knowledge" is also very useful.

"Wei is fine."

Li Miaozhen took off her armor and changed into a short outfit. She still had a ponytail, looking heroic and graceful.

Along with her came...Lina.

"Lady Feiyan, it's been a long time since we last met. Are you all right?" Wei An said with a joking tone, bowing.

This name is a nightmare that Li Miaozhen will never be able to escape from in her life.

Li Miaozhen's face froze, and she clasped her fists in return, "I'm fine, I'm fine."

Ok?
It doesn't seem like Li Miaozhen's temper.

Come with a request.

Wei An looked at Lina with a vague suspicion in his mind, "Why are you here, young lady?"

"what?"

Lina didn't seem to understand.

Li Miaozhen chuckled.

Confucian scholars are accustomed to nitpicking.

Smash it.

People don't understand.

"That's all."

Wei An gestured to invite them in and led the two to the flower hall.

He flipped his hand and the small red clay stove spontaneously combusted.

"Sir, you have mastered the techniques of my Tianzong sect to perfection."

Li Miaozhen praised with a smile.

Wei An looked at her strangely.

Let’s put aside this inexplicably contrasting female hero Feiyan for now.

"Miss, do you have something to ask me today?" he asked Xiang Lina.

There's no need for polite greetings, it's better to get straight to the point.

Lina was about to answer when the pastries on the table stole her attention.

She swallowed twice.

Wei An pushed the plate in front of her and said, "Girl, please...eat some."

He stopped his habitual wording in time and uttered two short words.

Lina's eyes lit up, "Thank you! Number Three, you're so nice!"

Li Miaozhen immediately locked her eyes on Wei An's face, afraid of missing any change.

"You got the wrong person."

Wei An denied it.

When he wanted to continue talking to Lina, the latter stuffed several pieces of cake into her mouth.

Looking at the posture, it's a bit embarrassing to talk.

He had no choice but to look at Li Miaozhen again, "Why did Lady Feiyan come to me today?"

"It's enough!"

Li Miaozhen's true nature is exposed!
This tastes right!
Wei An raised a satisfied smile on his face.

"I...I come to ask for protection, sir."

Li Miaozhen's tone softened in time.

Still a bit stiff.

"I am in mourning, Saint."

Wei An reminded.

"You hired me as a guard."

Li Miaozhen responded very quickly.

"A battle between heaven and man?"

"Yes."

"Are you worried that someone with ulterior motives might make a fuss about your life?"

"Yes."

"Are you coming to me for advice?"

"Yes."

Li Miaozhen's eyes suddenly widened with fear.

This person is really as smart as a demon!
"It's Brother Ning Yan, right?"

Wei An finally confirmed.

"Yes."

Li Miaozhen was a little disappointed, but she didn't hide it.

Wei An looked at her.

I feel like laughing.

This matter is extremely dramatic.

Lady Feiyan, the person who truly cares about you is right in front of you.

"I can hire you, but I'll only provide you with food and lodging, no salary."

Wei An was like a rich landlord at this moment, exploiting people ruthlessly.

"It's settled." Li Miaozhen glanced around and said directly, "I'll stay in that room."

"What about her?" Wei An looked at Lina in confusion.

Lina just threw the last piece of cake into her mouth.

She chewed and swallowed quickly, then wiped her mouth. "I, I also want to ask for protection, sir."

Wei An's expression froze.

Li Miaozhen was also a little dumbfounded.

Didn’t they say they came to look for Wei An because of something important, something that would endanger the entire Gu tribe?

"I need your help too." Lina said again under the gaze of the two.

This is the real purpose.

"What help?" Wei An asked in a deep voice.

"My mother-in-law asked me to bless you to repair the seal of the Confucian Saint."

Lina's words revealed a secret.

After Lina finished speaking, Wei An said, "I'm only a third-rank official. I can't bless and repair the Confucian Sage Seal, right?"

Lina stared at him with certainty, “Mother-in-law said that only you can do it.”

Quantitative change may not necessarily lead to qualitative change.

Wei An thought for a moment and said, "I can give it a try, but there's no guarantee of success. Besides, the Gu Clan has to pay me."

It was obvious that there would be no result from the conversation with the girl in front of me.

He agreed first, and would discuss it in detail when he reached the Southern Border Gu Tribe. He would never let anyone from the Poison Gu Tribe go!
"I know. My mother-in-law said that she won't let your efforts be in vain."

Lina smiled and nodded heavily.

"Did Grandma say how long I should leave?"

Wei An asked again.

Nothing much to do at the moment.

It only takes a few days to go to southern Xinjiang.

"Nothing's wrong."

As he was thinking this, Zhao Shou's voice suddenly rang out in the courtyard.

"Dean?"

It's very lively here today.

A trace of doubt flashed across Wei An's face, and he stood up to greet him.

Li Miaozhen and Lina followed closely.

"Dean, is there an accident?"

Wei An saw Zhao Shou’s serious expression and felt something was wrong.

"The students sent by Master Ziyang to Chuzhou have arrived."

Zhao Shou's words seemed to carry a heavy weight, and it was difficult for him to speak.

It also seemed inappropriate to reveal the truth in front of Li Miaozhen and Lina, so he tried to cover it up with words.

"Miss Li, Miss Lina, Xiao Si will arrange for you two."

Wei An called Xiao Si over again and gave him a few instructions.

Disappeared in the clear light with the dean.

……

now
Prince Huai's Mansion

"A bunch of trash!"

Fully armored, his hand on his sword at his waist, Chu Xianglong cursed at a team of armored guards.

During this time, he was speaking with hidden meanings, as if he was talking to Mu Nanzhi who was fiddling with the tea set.

This is not finished.

After scolding the guards of Prince Huai's Mansion.

He walked straight into the outer hall, clasped his fists, and looked directly at the Princess of Huai. He asked in a questioning tone, "I heard that the princess often disappears. Not only does she hide from the guards at the palace, she also evades the Si Tianjian's qi-observing technique. Is there anyone helping her?"

His words and actions showed none of the respect a lieutenant general should have for the princess.

"How dare you!" Mu Nanzhi shouted harshly, and then said coldly, "Deputy General Chu, are you interrogating me?"

"How dare I? I am just worried that someone with ulterior motives might deceive the princess."

Chu Xianglong clasped his fists and lowered his head slightly.

In fact, doing so will only make them more rude.

"Princess, this time I returned to the capital, in addition to requesting payment from His Majesty, the prince also instructed me to take you to Chuzhou."

"In the next few days, I will guard the palace. If Princess wants to go somewhere, just let me know. I will go with you and protect you."

Chu Xianglong's words made Mu Nanzhi's face flash with disgust under the veil, and her heart sank.

……

In the inner city, a restaurant

When the apricot list is announced, some people are happy and some are sad.

Wen has no first, Wu has no second.

Before the successful students’ essays are posted, none of the failed students think that they are less talented than others!
Once they see the truth, those with high moral character and righteous thoughts will only sigh that they are inferior to them.

Those with evil intentions will rack their brains to find an excuse for themselves.

Most of the people gathered here are students who failed the college entrance examination.

Some come from academies.

Some came from the Imperial College.

The academy and the Imperial College were naturally incompatible.

But whether it was an academy or the Imperial College, teachers could not stop students from having private relationships.

The teachers in academies and the Imperial College still have this kind of magnanimity.

Zhu Tuizhi had a few good friends in the Imperial College, but they couldn't be considered close friends, as they had only spoken a few times.

This year's imperial examination was a particularly big blow to him!

Not only failed the exam.

Xu Xinnian, whom he had always regarded as his rival, actually won the first place in the imperial examination!

Jealousy drives people crazy!

"When did he acquire such poetic talent?"

Zhu Tuizhi drank cup after cup, muttering something in dissatisfaction.

Just then, Liu Jue, the organizer of the gathering, heard this.

Liu Jue calmly started the conversation, "This year's imperial examination is truly lamentable."

"Yeah, I never thought that Xu Xinnian would be the first place winner."

"It means Chen Youping, Zhang Jinyan, and Lord Yuanshan have returned to the court. In the past, we would have gone to the Ministry of Rites and made a scene."

"Hey, be careful with your words!"

One person advised, indicating that Zhu Tuizhi was still there.

The student from the Imperial College who spoke without thinking immediately bowed to Zhu Tuizhi.

Zhu Tuizhi's face was gloomy as he drank one cup after another.

Anyone who sees it will feel unhappy.

This is the kind of academy students Liu Jue is waiting for!

"Brother Zhu, why are you unhappy about Huiyuan Luo Academy?"

His deliberate words and tone

This made Zhu Tuizhi frown immediately.

But he continued to drink and ignored her.

He knew Liu Jue, a sociable person with an average reputation.

"Brother Zhu, I've read Xu Cijiu's poem. If he has such poetic talent, why was he unknown before?"

Liu Jue pretended to be confused.

Zhu Tuizhi sneered, "Don't even mention you guys. Even I only heard that he once won the jade pendant from Ziyang Jushi with a poem written by his brother."

Liu Jue was overjoyed. "Oh? Brother Zhu, please tell me about it."

Zhu Tuizhi had no idea that he had fallen into someone else's trap and became complacent.

……

Academy
A schoolhouse

A student with a dazed look was lying on the couch.

He kept chanting, "Blood slaughter for three thousand miles, blood slaughter for three thousand miles..."

Wei An's heavy gaze fell on the man's student uniform which was covered with mud and stains, and even had bloodstains on it.

But there were no wounds.

It was obviously the dean's work.

"Although the body has recovered, the soul is still missing. This must be the work of... the Wushen Cult!"

Zhao Shou said solemnly.

Wei An suppressed his anger, looked at the other students in the dormitory, and said with a bow, "Brothers, where did you find Brother Lu Nian?"

"Chuzhou is the last state. We have agreed with Brother Lu to meet in Bao County, where Jing, Chu, and Jian states meet, and then come to Beijing together to meet you, sir."

One of the students said.

Upon hearing this, Wei An's face showed reluctance and deep guilt. "Because of my selfishness, I have caused Brother Nian to suffer such a fate. I feel... ashamed!"

Without waiting for the students to speak, he looked at Zhao Shou and said, "Dean, do you have any way to save them?"

Zhao Shou frowned, "Taoists are more adept at matters concerning the spirit and soul. Perhaps we can seek help from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory."

Taoist?

The Imperial Master is not in the capital at the moment.

Wei An thought for a moment and said, "Dean, I rescued Meng Ran before."

"It's different. My words have the power to control other people's bodies."

Zhao Shou rejected his idea.

"Tianzong Saintess Li Miaozhen, you just saw her at my house. I will go and invite her over right away."

After Wei An finished speaking, clear light covered his whole body.
