Chapter 178 (1/2)



178 The goddess of war (1)

Noble Qi building, seventh floor.

There was no one else in the tea room except Wei Yuan. Xu Qi ‘an walked in with steady steps and cupped his fists.

“Duke Wei.”

Wei Yuan had just poured a cup of tea and placed it opposite him. He raised his hand and said, “”Sit.”

Xu Qi ‘an sat down cautiously and took a sip of water. He looked at Wei Yuan. He had a feeling that Wei Yuan was looking for him to talk about the case of Princess Ping Yang.

the case of Princess Ping Yang has ended, but the Sang Bo case has to continue. His Majesty has rejected my proposal. Wei Yuan sipped his tea and told Xu Qi ‘an what had happened in the Royal study as if he was having a casual chat.

Xu Qi ‘an’s face was gloomy. Minister sun of the Ministry of Justice is old friends with the Vice Minister of Revenue, Zhou Xianping. He has hated me since the beginning …

Wei Yuan waved his hand and interrupted him, “”These are all trivial matters!”

He said in a somewhat resentful tone, “”The fact that His Majesty doesn’t like you is a big deal.”

Xu Qi ‘an’s face darkened.

What a coincidence, I don’t like him either. When I first saw Emperor Yuan jing in a Daoist robe during the ancestral worship, I felt a slight disgust in my heart.

At that time, he felt that it was because Emperor Yuan jing represented the feudal imperial power. After the Spirit Dragon incident and having close contact with him, he realized that his dislike for Emperor Yuan jing was very pure. There was no other reason. It was a hatred that came from the bottom of his heart.

Maybe it’s because my birth characters and the old Emperor’s birth characters are in conflict … I’m Ennea monkey and he’s Weiyang? Xu Qi ‘an smiled bitterly.

“I don’t know how your Majesty disdains me.”

“Maybe it’s because I didn’t have the affinity to meet him.” Wei Yuan rubbed his brows. just wait. There’s no need to investigate further. By now, all the clues have been erased. You won’t be able to find anything. Once the time limit is up, if His Majesty insists on beheading you, I will arrange for a death row convict to replace you.

heh, don’t worry. No one will pay special attention to your identity as a small copper Gong.

‘And then I naturally became your …’ His subordinates. “What if we can catch Zhou chixiong?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

“This matter is settled,” Wei Yuan laughed.

He shook his head and laughed.

After leaving the noble spirit building, Xu Qi ‘an returned to the hall of spring breeze and told song tingfeng, Zhu guangxiao, and Li Yuchun about the matter.

Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao’s expressions suddenly stiffened. The former slammed the table and cursed, pacing around in the hall impatiently, while the latter’s brows were tightly furrowed, feeling even more bitter and hateful.

you’ve wasted too much time on the princess Ping Yang case, ” Li Yuchun muttered. it’ll be difficult for you to investigate the Sang Bo case again. The Directorate of Celestials ‘Qi observation technique can’t accuse officials of fourth-rank and above. Unless you can get a supervisor to help you.”

Looking for a supervisor? Not to mention whether the supervisor was willing to help, even if he was willing, would Emperor Yuan jing believe him? Xu Qisan said in peace,”I’m not going to look for that old man.”

…..

Stargazing tower.

“Sister Caiwei, I have something to see the supervisor about. Do you have any way to bring me up to the eight trigrams stage?” Xu Qi ‘an was carrying bags of food in his hands, and his smile was like that of a dog in his previous life.

Yan Caiwei ate the food offered by Xu Qi ‘an without any hesitation, but she said, no, master is in seclusion. He has already blocked the eight trigrams stage’s passage. No one can go up.

She looked like a goddess who was using spare tires.

“Is there no other way?”

“I have no choice.”

“When will our master come out of seclusion?”

Yan Caiwei glanced at him and thought to herself, what is our master?

“At most a few months, at least half a month. He’s probably on the eight trigrams platform to calculate the stars,” she said.

…. Xu Qi ‘an vomited blood. This was karma. He had been playing around for nothing all day, and finally, one day, he had made someone else play around for nothing.

No, I can’t lose out like this … He placed all the food he had bought with two taels of silver on the table and said, “”My younger sister has menstruation and her abdominal pain is unbearable. How do you solve it?”

Hearing this, Yan Caiwei twisted her waist and ran away. After a while, she returned with a porcelain bottle. take one when you’re in pain. It’ll take effect immediately.

Although this young lady was a glutton, she was very generous. Regardless of whether the medicinal pills were expensive or not, she was willing to give them away.

….

Yunzhou.

In the vast mountain range, a large village was built against the mountain, and the continuous lights were lit in the dark night.

The stronghold was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It had the geographical advantage. When the stronghold was first built, the government would send troops to encircle and suppress it. After several failures, they turned a blind eye.

Yunzhou was plagued by bandits, and there were countless Raider and mountain bandits who robbed houses. The people had been suffering for a long time, and the government had been having a headache for decades.

It had been decades, and he had slowly gotten used to it. The chaotic lands had their own way of living.

As night fell, the mountain wind continued to blow. Suddenly, lightning flashed and Thunder rumbled, and it began to rain heavily.

On the arrow tower, the mountain bandits in charge of standing guard endured the cold rain that came in diagonally and looked in the direction of the stronghold with envy.

Today, the village had done something big again. They had captured a caravan, silk, tea leaves, porcelain … There were many valuable items.

This was all because of the new sixth leader of the village. He was skilled in martial arts and was proficient in joint attacks.

It was said that he had a military background and used to work in the capital of Dafeng. Later, because he couldn’t stand the fatuity and corruption of the court, he decided to become a Bandit.
