Dafeng's Night Squad

215 An old friend in Qingzhou?(1)

Everyone’s fate was different. If you missed it, then you missed it. No matter how much you regret it, there was no way to take it back.

Missing out on the lady in red who had become famous with one shot, he cried until he was out of breath. It would probably take a few days for him to understand this truth, and then he would adjust himself in a long period of depression.

The courtesan had no choice but to withdraw from the tea gathering after crying so hard. Young master Wei and the others were indeed well-educated scholars. Instead of complaining, they comforted Hong Xiu and gave her a good rest.

After sending Hong Xiu off, young master Wei and the others continued to drink. A place like the Imperial Academy workshop was originally a place for social interaction.

A beauty by his side was the icing on the cake, so it didn’t matter if she wasn’t there. Men should drink and chat.

“Just now, didn’t you say that there was a night watchman who came to make tea?” Young master Wei’s heart skipped a beat as he recalled this detail. He asked the servant girl beside him,

“Lady Hong Xiu said that one of them claimed that Fu Xiang was his lover?”

“It seems so.” The servant girl said.

Young master Wei had a vague guess in his heart. He stopped drinking and stared at the maidservant solemnly,”Then ... What’s the gong called?”

“Young master, I don’t know.” The maidservant shook her head and thought, I don’t care about that.

The other young masters were all smart people. They thought of the lady’s abnormal behavior just now and were shocked.”That, that Xu ningyan came to Yuzhou?”

The incident with the God’s will Messenger had only happened today and had not spread throughout Yuzhou. Among this group of students, only young master Wei had an official background, but it would take a day or two before he would know about this.

“We can go to the relay station tomorrow. If the night watchman is staying there, we have to pay him a visit.”

....

An Inn!

The carriage slowed down and stopped outside the courier station.

Provincial governor Zhang alighted from the carriage with a serious expression and returned to the relay station with Jiang Luzhong. It was already night with a full moon hanging high in the sky.

Provincial governor Zhang looked at the stables a little further away and saw only a few horses tied there. After entering the courier station, he asked the courier station and found out that most of the Watchmen were fooling around outside and had not returned to the courier station.

Governor Zhang, who was already in a heavy mood, said angrily, preposterous! We are carrying out the emperor’s orders. How can we be so lazy and greedy for pleasure? ”

Jiang Luzhong laughed and said, ” they’ve been cooped up on the ship for so many days. It’s only natural for them to relax. Since the governor is fine, it doesn’t matter what happens to the others.”

The two of them went upstairs. In the dark corridor, a man in shorts walked up to them. He hugged his shoulders in the cold weather and shivered.

Jiang Luzhong had night vision. He stared at the person and asked in bewilderment, “”What are you up to?”

“I just finished taking a cold shower.”

Xu Qi ‘an, who stayed overnight in the teaching workshop, did not answer.

“And then?”

“This is the South.” He said without thinking and suddenly sighed, “‘I’m trying to find the feeling of the past ... Jiang Jinluo, Governor Zhang, you’re back. The others are staying at the Imperial Academy’s workshop.”

Governor Zhang nodded and entered his own room.

“Why didn’t you stay at the Imperial Academy?” Jiang Luzhong scrutinized Xu Qi ‘an. As far as he knew, this kid was also a veteran in the flower field.

“Any transaction that is related to silver is vulgar and sinful. We’re determined to boycott this kind of behavior.” Xu Qi ‘an finished speaking with a serious expression and walked away.

Jiang Luzhong looked at his back and thought,”this kid must be drunk.” Furthermore, the spirit refinement realm martial artist was already immune to the cold and heat, yet he still pretended to be hungry and cold.

Xu Qi ‘an entered the room and closed the door. She trembled in self-entertainment and quickly ran to the bed. She rolled up the quilt and pretended that she lived in the cold and damp South.

In terms of geographical location, although Yuzhou was not a coastal city, it was still in the South. Different from the bone-piercing cold wind in the capital, the cold in Yuzhou stuck to the skin and seeped into the pores.

This reminded Xu Qi ‘an of the South in her previous life, where she would shower in the middle of winter, turn off the hot water, and use soap. She would shiver while doing so.

After taking a shower, she put on her clothes. As she put on her clothes, her snot flowed out.

Unfortunately, mortal realm martial artists had strong physical bodies, so they would not feel cold. Even if they were soaked in ice water, they would only feel cold at most.

Wrapped in the quilt, Xu Qi ‘an fell asleep in peace.

....

The candlelight was like a bean, swaying with a dim yellow halo.

Provincial governor Zhang sat in front of the table, picked up a brush and wrote a Memorial,

I was passing by Yuzhou when I came across a case of corruption. Yan Kai, the administrator of Yuzhou’s water transport Yamen, ordered the local yellow flag gang to kill the ship guards, embezzled the black iron ore, and secretly transported it to Yunzhou ...

“I’ve checked the shipwrecks of Yuzhou’s water transportation Office and found that in the past ten years, there have been a total of 43 shipwrecks, and two million Jin of iron ore was lost. The country traitor had silently extracted the Gu of great Feng, breaking their bones and sucking their marrow, causing one to shiver.

“Yuzhou, a single state, lost two million Jin of iron ore in ten years. If the sixteen states of Da Feng were to accumulate it, what a huge amount would it be? I request your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the capsized boats of the water transportation Yamen in the various provinces of Da Feng.

“The former Minister of Works colluded with the witch God religion and secretly supported the bandits in Yunzhou.

“In addition, Xu Qi ‘an is extremely alert and capable, and is the pillar of the country. This person was the main contributor to solving the floating boat case.

the trip to Yunzhou is dangerous and unpredictable. I will do my best. I will do my best until I die.

.....

At dusk the next day, the group left Yuzhou and continued to travel to Yunzhou by boat.

During the day, Xu Qi ‘an brought the Tiger guards and his colleagues to the city to purchase some seasonal vegetables, wine, rice, and other supplies.

They were using the water transport Yamen’s accounts, which was equivalent to white taxi.

That night, the cook on the boat prepared a sumptuous banquet for the Imperial envoy. After eating and drinking, Xu Qi ‘an sat cross-legged in his room and began to cultivate.

“Ning Yan, it’s a pity that you didn’t sleep with the top courtesan of Yuzhou’s Imperial Academy of etiquette last night.” Song tingfeng felt sorry for his colleague. contemporary romance

“Heh, that lady Hong Xiu looks down on us vulgar martial artists.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

“That’s because you didn’t reveal your identity. If you had told her that you were the great scholar who wrote” the floating moon dusk in the dark fragrance,”she wouldn’t be in a hurry to offer herself to you.” Song tingfeng replied.

...

“If that’s the case, why didn’t you help me?” Xu Qi ‘an was a little puzzled.

Song tingfeng sneered. Bullsh * t. I’m so jealous. I helped you become famous and then I watched you sleep with the top courtesan? ”

“Aren’t you also having fun every day?”

“Can it be the same?”

“It’s the same even if the lights are off.”

“You blew out the light, right?” Song tingfeng corrected.

The oil lamp was used to blow out, what did it mean to turn off the lamp?

Zhu guangxiao was also doing breathing exercises. When he heard this, he paused for a moment, opened his eyes, and said, “”In addition to the courtesan of the Academy’s workshop, I see that Constable Lu from the magistrate’s office also likes Ning Yan.”

Song tingfeng was even more jealous. how did you do it? Your ability to stir up good families is too strong, teach big brother a few moves?”

“Brother?”

“I’ll teach my little brother a few moves.”

...

“You have to call me father.”

“Get lost!” Song tingfeng rejected immediately. He had been tricked by Xu ningyan once in the past.

“Are you going to call me or not?”

“Father.”

Xu Qi ‘an laughed.

“What do you mean?” Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao did not understand.

“You have to be careful, not your kidneys.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

that sounds reasonable, but do you really have the right to say that? ” you lied to me again! song tingfeng shouted. call him back or I’ll kill you.

As he spoke, he pounced over, ready to force the man.

At this moment, the three of them heard a cry for help from outside.

“Something has happened ...” Xu Qi ‘an kicked song tingfeng away and rushed out of the room without even putting on his boots.

His two colleagues followed closely behind.

Almost at the same time, the silver gongs with profound cultivation base also rushed out, followed by the copper gongs.

There was no boat at night. It was parked in an area where the water flow was gentle. On the dark water surface, a man from the Tiger guards was flopping hard, sometimes sinking into the water and sometimes struggling out.

He looked like he could swim, but something in the water was pulling him, trying to drag him into the water.

“Hmph!”

Jiang Luzhong’s cold snorting could be heard from the cabin.

The Tiger guard who had fallen into the water seemed to have been freed from his restraints. He floated to the surface and did not continue to sink.

The watchman on the deck threw down the rope and pulled him up.

At this moment, many more Tiger guards rushed up from the bottom of the cabin, armed with weapons and wearing tense expressions.

“It’s fine, someone just fell into the water.” Xu Qi ‘an turned around and comforted him. Then, she turned to look at the man who had fallen into the water. She saw a purple handprint on his ankle.

“What’s going on?” A silver Gong asked. He was one of Jiang Luzhong’s subordinates.

The leader of the team this time was the Golden gong Jiang Luzhong. Other than Xu Qi ‘an, who had been assigned by Wei Yuan to train, the rest of the night watchmen were Jiang Luzhong’s subordinates.

As for song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao, they were dragged along by Xu Qi ‘an because the subsidy for the business trip was too attractive. Moreover, there was a chance to make a contribution.

The man spat out a few mouthfuls of water and quickly recovered. However, his face was a little pale, probably from the shock.

“This humble servant drank too much wine and just ran up to release the water ... Suddenly, I heard someone calling me from the water. I looked down and saw that it was my late mother.

“I don’t know what happened, but when I thought of my old mother raising me, I was filled with grief and jumped down.

“After falling into the water, I woke up. Even if my mother had turned into a ghost, how could she be here? But that thing grabbed my foot tightly and dragged me down to the bottom of the water ...”

it’s water fairy, ” an experienced boatman said in horror.”After a person dies, their corpse turns into a Yin object and often abduct passersby to fall into the water. Countless people died in the canal every year. With the accumulation of Yin Qi, it was inevitable that water spirits would be born.

“My Lords, it’s better if you don’t come out at night. The water demon never comes ashore. As long as you don’t go on the deck, you’ll be fine. When we left the ship, we ate, drank, defecated, and used the toilet in the cabin every night. This is the rule of the trade.”

Everyone couldn’t help but turn their heads and look at the dark water. It was quite creepy to encounter such a thing at night.

With this interlude, the armored soldiers of the Tiger guards no longer came out at night to solve the problem of metabolism, and the night watchmen did what they were supposed to do.

Take Xu Qi ‘an for example. Every night, he would go to the deck on purpose, but he never met the legendary water spirit.

It wasn’t that Xu Qi ‘an was brave enough to ask water fairy to take a break. He just wanted to see what the water Monkey looked like. In his previous life, he grew up listening to the story of the water Monkey.

On this day, the Imperial envoy’s team finally arrived at the Qingzhou dock.

After reaching Qingzhou, they would have to change to the dry road. On the dry road, they would need carriages and horses, which the Imperial envoy team did not have.

He needed the help of the Qingzhou government.

After disembarking from the boat, provincial governor Zhang walked to Xu Qi ‘an’s side with a smile and said,”The governor of Qingzhou is the Grand scholar of Yunlu Academy, yang Gong, yang ziqian.”

Xu Qi ‘an did not react in time. Governor Zhang added,”I’m called layman Zi Yang.”
