At that time, Xu Qi ‘an was just a small gong, at the peak of the Qi refining realm, trying to break through to the spirit refining realm.

In just a year, Duke of Wei and Emperor Yuan jing had died, and little Gong had become an extraordinary Saint and a true Big Shot.

“There’s something I’d like to trouble Lord Liu with.”

Xu Qi ‘an put down the teacup and said in a serious tone, ”

“You know that I’m collecting Dragon Qi, which is scattered all over the Central Plains. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack if I want to gather it in a short time. Originally, it was the most efficient and effective way for the government to come forward.

“But now that the disasters in various places are serious, I’m afraid it’s difficult for the government to do a good job in gathering intelligence, and it’s easy for the enemy forces to take the fruits of their labor. I need a more covert and effective intelligence organization to help me. ”

Liu Hong understood what he meant. you want to be the night watchman’s spy? ”

Seeing Xu Qi ‘an nod his head, Liu Hong shook his head with a grave expression.

“I didn’t inherit the night watchman’s Secret agent.”

“What?” Xu Qi ‘an was stunned.

Liu Hong explained, ”

“After I took over the night watchman’s office, I went to the case library to look for the files that recorded the arrangements of the spies in various places, but I found that they had long disappeared.

“The clerk in charge of guarding the case library told me that Lord Wei had already taken it away before the expedition.”

“Lord Wei, did you take away the files of those spies?” Xu Qi ‘an frowned.

“I thought that he would hand over the night watchman’s spy to you, but it seems like Lord Wei has other plans,” Liu Hong replied.

Xu Qi ‘an tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly, “”Milords, who do you think the Duke of Wei entrusted it to?”

Liu Hong and Zhang xingying looked at each other and shook their heads.

Xu Qi ‘an was a little disappointed. He frowned and thought for a long time, then said, ”

“I will be leaving the capital tomorrow. I will have to trouble Lord Liu to continue to worry about the matter of the night watchman.

“Don’t forget to write a memorial to tell Emperor Yongxing so that he doesn’t have to worry that I, a martial artist, will use the Emperor to command the world.”

Hearing this, Zhang xingying and Liu Hong both shook their heads and laughed.

For now, it was impossible for the Emperor to let Xu Qi ‘an take charge of the night watchman Yamen.

In the heart of an Emperor, the most basic rule was ” balance. Xu Qi ‘an could suppress the civil and military officials, but who could suppress Xu Qi’ an?

Emperor Yongxing would never let such an existence that no one could check and balance hold real power, otherwise, he would not even be able to sleep well.

Xu Qi ‘an was just a tool in this matter.

The main thing was that his current focus was not on the Imperial court or the capital.

“If I’m not wrong, there will be a small court meeting before lunch. At that time, the matter of the donation can be settled.”

“This is a good thing.”

Xu Qi ‘an said.
