398 Chu Yuanyu, do you need me to retreat?(1)

It was early spring, and it was windy and rainy.

A three-masted ship sailed through the wind and waves, and the wind caused the sails to swell.

After lunch, song tingfeng stepped onto the deck with one hand on his saber. He looked in the direction of the capital while facing the wind.

Over the past month, the flames of war had sharpened the edges of his face, and blood had washed over his eyes. His entire person had changed greatly.

Footsteps came from behind. Song tingfeng didn’t turn around. He pointed to the North and said, “”We’ll reach the capital in another ten days.”

Zhu guangxiao replied with an ” mm ” and looked north side by side with song tingfeng. He was still a man of few words. Other than his temperament becoming more stable and honest, there was not much change.

On the other hand, the slimy-sounding song tingfeng seemed to have been reborn.

with the battle merits I’ve earned in Yunzhou,. can exchange for a spirit-forging visualization diagram … “I’m planning to advance to the spirit-refinement realm,” song tingfeng said with a smile.

If it was in the past, Zhu guangxiao would have been surprised. Having been colleagues for many years, he knew that song tingfeng lacked ambition. He was already satisfied with his position. He patrolled the streets in the day and visited the education workshop at night. His life was very comfortable.

If this Military Merit of Yunzhou was exchanged for silver, it would be enough for him to live in the Academy for a year.

“Yes.”

Zhu guangxiao nodded.

At this time, another group of gongs came to the deck after eating. They were laughing and laughing, with the joy and anticipation of going home.

“Tingfeng, when we return to the capital, let’s go to the Imperial Academy for a drink.” A familiar copper Gong walked over and put his arm around her shoulder.

Song tingfeng didn’t seem to hear her, he looked North in silence.

The copper Gong left with a bored expression.

Song tingfeng let out a breath and said, “”I’m quite talented. I’ve been stuck at the peak of the Qi refining stage for so many years, so my Foundation is solid enough.

during this period of time, I’ve been thinking, if I wasn’t so lazy, if I wasn’t so useless, if I was already in the spirit forging stage when I came to Yunzhou …

“I’m not going to the Academy anymore,” song tingfeng lowered his head and said softly.

Zhu guangxiao was silent, but he patted his shoulder.

……….

The exam was carried out in an orderly manner. In the beginning, second uncle Xu and Xu Qi ‘an were quite concerned about Xu Erlang’s condition and asked about his well-being.

Xu Qi ‘an was treating Xu Erlang the same way his parents treated him during the college entrance examination.

However, the chaos that followed made Xu Pingzhi, the Baihu of the Imperial saber guard, and Xu Qi ‘an, the night watchman, extremely busy.

The martial arts world liked to fight and be ruthless. There were indeed heroes who were chivalrous, but most of them were from the lower nine paths. Who would be a proper person in the martial arts world?

When one had no money on hand, picking on a few rich people with bad reputations and helping the poor who could not live on was already considered a hero Bandit.

There were very few female heroes like li Miaozhen who really helped the world and upheld justice.

In just four or five days, Xu Qi ‘an alone had caught several drunk and fighting foreigners. According to his second uncle, Liang shangjunzi could be caught every night in the outer city, and the inner city was peaceful.

Because there was a curfew in the inner city, the five guards on night patrol would sound the bow to alert anyone who went out at night. If they chose to escape at this time, they would be shot on the spot.

And if it was a suspicious person walking on the roof, there was no need to sound the bow, as he had the power to act first and report later.

When encountering troublemakers, they were usually taken to prison and waited for their companions to bail them out. These small things that did not warrant death were the most troublesome.

One day, Xu Qi ‘an was patrolling the streets with two Gong Masters. When they passed by a brothel, they suddenly heard the sound of tiles cracking.

He looked up and saw two martial artists fighting on the roof.

A group of people gathered below to watch, pointing, jeering, or cheering.

“Damn it, this group of dogs, they’re still doing this after seizing the weapon.” Xu Qi ‘an cursed and directed the gong beside him.”Go, get them down and bring them back to the Yamen.”

There were ordinary people watching, so it was not suitable to sound the gong. The sound waves from the magic weapon would harm the people around.

The two copper gongs jumped up and shouted, “”It is forbidden to cause trouble and fight in the inner city. Follow me to the Yamen.”

This was a warning to the other party not to resist, the same meaning as the sound of a bow.

Who knew that the two martial artists were really angry. The martial artist was hot-headed and didn’t care who you were. He would still beat up the officials.

One of the gongs barely dodged a sinister kick in the crotch. He flew into a rage and drew out his saber with a clang. He circulated his Qi and slashed down.

Although Gong was the lowest level night watchman, a Qi refining realm cultivator was considered an expert in the Jianghu. Ordinary Jianghu people were no match for him.

Ding! Ding!

A stream of Qi shot out from below and hit the blade of the gong, causing the blade to miss.

The martial artist, who had just escaped death, instinctively raised his strength and stepped on Gong’s chest. Gong fell from the top of the building after being kicked. He did a beautiful backflip and landed steadily.

Xu Qi ‘an narrowed his eyes and flicked out a black and gold long knife with his thumb.

As if sensing his murderous intent, someone downstairs shouted, “”Stop!”

There were two groups of well-dressed foreigners. Some were young men, and some were beautiful and curvaceous female warriors. At the same time, there were also middle-aged and old men standing behind them.

The two martial artists only stopped when they heard their Masters call for a stop.

Xu Qi ‘an pressed on his knife with one hand and walked over in a nonchalant manner.

my Lord, I’m lu Chun from the Lu family of Jing Prefecture. A handsome young man in white cupped his hands and said.

Seeing Xu Qi ‘an coming over, the eyes of the beautiful ladies lit up.

Xu Qi ‘an nodded. He looked at another group of people and asked, “”What about you guys?”

The leader of the group was a young master with a feminine temperament. He snorted. “Sir, the Zhao family of Jing Prefecture,” the old man beside him quickly replied.

The Lu family and the Zhao family were famous families in Jingzhou. They had pillars of support in their official careers and also experts in the underworld.

In layman terms, he was a local Squire. Of course, large families like the Lu family and the Zhao family were no longer considered ” Squires “. It wasn’t too much to call it “the bell chiming and the cauldron eating.”

The two families were like fire and water in Jingzhou. They stabbed each other in the face, and in the pugilistic world, they fought with swords. Their grievances had been going on for a long time.

This time, when he came to the capital to watch the battle, he happened to meet her on the streets.

The two sides mocked and ridiculed each other. They were angry, but they restrained themselves and only sent two experts to the roof to fight.

Although it was against the law to cause trouble on the street, it didn’t hurt innocent people and didn’t cause too much damage. With the power of the two families, they had the ability to settle it.

“Who was the one who played the Qi just now?” Xu Qi ‘an’s gaze swept across the crowd.

The young man with the feminine temperament raised his chin.”It’s me,” he said.

Xu Qi ‘an nodded slowly and looked at the two groups of people. all right. All of you, follow me to the Yamen to keep watch.

The handsome young master of the Lu family frowned.

“What?”

The young man with the feminine temperament sneered, “”We didn’t do anything on the street. You can just bring them back to the Yamen.”

“If I tell you to go, then go. If you continue to talk nonsense, do you believe that I won’t kill you?” Xu Qi ‘an scolded.

The crime of assaulting the night watchman alone was enough to make them suffer. This group of foreigners was too arrogant.

“On what basis? At the feet of the Emperor, even the night watchman has to abide by the law.” The young man with the feminine temperament was not afraid at all.

Buzzzzzz!

He unsheathed his black-gold longsword, and a thin dark-gold thread flashed.

Before the young man with the feminine temperament could react, seeing that he was about to die, a pretty and gentle woman beside him reacted first. She took off the silver hairpin on her head and pointed it at the sword Qi.

Bang! Bang!

The silver hairpin exploded, and the sword Qi cut her delicate hand.

Xu Qi ‘an jumped up and kicked the woman away. After landing, he did a roundhouse kick and kicked the feminine young man to the ground.

He had used concealed power in this kick. The bones were not broken, but the kick had injured the other’s internal organs.

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t look at the feminine young master. He handed the long knife to him and sneered, “”Even if you’re in the bronze skin and iron bones realm, you still won’t be able to walk out of the capital.”

The old man’s face was ashen as he looked down at his chest.

Xu Qi ‘an turned around and looked at the Lu family. “Are you guys leaving or not?”

Everyone from the Lu family looked at the old man’s chest. There was a faint red color there.

Copper skin and iron bones … His defense was broken.

They re-examined Xu Qi ‘an. This Yin Gong was young, and it was already incredible for him to be a Yin Gong at this age.

He had defeated the Zhao family’s eldest miss, who was in the spirit-forging stage, with a casual sword and kick. Then, he had broken through the physical defense of the copper skin and iron bone stage with a casual Saber Strike.

His cultivation was simply terrifying, and his talent was even more shocking.

As expected of the capital, any random silver Gong would be a heavenly genius outside.

“I’ll leave it to you, Sir.” The handsome young man didn’t dare to disobey.

……….

After escorting the two groups of people back to the Yamen, Xu Qi ‘an found the clerk in charge and said, “”For these two groups of people, make them pay a hundred taels of silver each.

I’ll take three hundred taels. You and your colleagues will split the fifty taels. The two gongs that I patrolled the street will each receive fifty taels. As for the rest, send them to spring breeze Hall tomorrow.

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely do it.” The clerk hurriedly said.

Xu Qi ‘an nodded in satisfaction. He turned to the stables and rode his beloved little mare toward the Imperial City.

The sun was high in the sky, so he planned to have lunch at the Lingbao temple and ask Luo Yuheng for advice on the sword manual of the heart sword.

Xu Qi ‘an had already reached the basic level of the heart sword sword manual, so it was not difficult for him to use it. He only needed to attach his spiritual power to the sword and slash it out like Qi.

The difficult part was how to merge with the Qi movement.

It was like drawing a circle or a square with one hand, but drawing a circle with one hand and a square with the other would cause one’s brain to be unable to allocate and often get stuck. When he attacked, he either forgot to transfer Qi or forgot to attach mental power.

Now that he was a silver Gong, he could enter and leave the Imperial City freely. The moment he flashed his waist token, the guards guarding the city immediately let him through.

When they arrived at the Lingbao temple, the Taoist child guarding the door went to report and returned shortly after.

“Dao head, please.”

Xu Qi ‘an nodded and followed the Taoist child into the temple. They crossed the corridor and the courtyard and met ” kind aunt ” Luo Yuheng in a quiet room.

In addition to her, there was also a green-robed swordsman sitting on the futon. He had a free and easy temperament, and the White hair on his forehead showed his maturity and added to his charm.

F * ck, number four is here too … That was Xu Qi ‘an’s first thought.

Damn, Luo Yuheng knows that I’m the owner of the Book of the Netherworld’s fragments … This was Xu Qi ‘an’s second thought.

“State Teacher!”

Xu Qi ‘an saluted without changing his expression.

Then, he smiled and cupped his hands at Chu Yuanqian. “Scholar Zhuang.”

Chu Yuanxi smiled freely. She was a little surprised to see Xu Qi ‘an here.

It was reasonable to say that Xu Qi ‘an was not qualified to enter the temple of numinous treasures to meet the Taoist head.

“How did Lord Xu get to know the state Teacher?” He asked out of curiosity.

Luo Yuheng was about to answer.

“Cough, cough. cough …”

Xu Qi ‘an coughed hard and quickly sent a message to the state preceptor, but it was bounced back.

He tried to transmit his voice again, but it was bounced back.

He tried again, but his kind-hearted aunt bounced it back.

Luo Yuheng’s attitude was obvious-we’re not that close, so we won’t chat privately.

It was indeed too much of. stretch to use such an intimate action like voice transmission on the state preceptor … Xu Qi ‘an was a little anxious.

Chu Yuanqian looked at Xu Qi ‘an and then at the state preceptor. She smiled and said, “”Do you need me to step back?”

Xu Qi ‘an was a little embarrassed.
