Dafeng Night Watchman-Chapter 638 - : Promise

Nothing to do with the emperor?

Li Wang and others were too disdainful to explain to a little girl what the responsibility of a monarch is.

Emperor Yongxing thought his sister was complaining about him, but the current situation really did not allow her to make trouble, so he said with a stern face:

"Lin'an, you must not be rude.

"I and my uncles still have things to discuss, you can leave first."

A prince shook his head slightly:

"When the previous emperor was in power, he was obsessed with Taoism and neglected the marriages of several princesses. Your Majesty, it's time to consider Lin'an's marriage now. She is not young anymore, and it's time for her to get married.

"Don't be so reckless and rude again, and don't make any progress at all."

Regardless of men and women, marriage is the best catalyst for forcing people to mature and grow.

Lin'an had a stern face and didn't look good to his uncles. He bowed and said:

"Emperor brother, I know the reason for the unusual movement of Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple. The ancestors were not angry, but there were other reasons."

Emperor Yongxing was surprised at first, and he didn't expect to hear such words from her mouth. Then he stood up with surprise and asked:

"It's not that the ancestors were angry, but there were other reasons? Lin'an, tell me what happened."

The princes also looked over with astonishment. .

"The Zhenguo Sword is now in the hands of Xu Qian'an. He fought with Buddhism, Wushenjiao and Yunzhou in Quanrong Mountain, Jianzhou. He protected the dragon energy and Quanrong Mountain.

"The unusual movement of Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple is related to this. "

Lin'an told Huaiqing exactly what she had heard.

She did not explain the significance of the battle at Quanrong Mountain, nor did she explain the deep connection between the changes in the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple and that battle.

But this was enough. For the royal family present, this information was enough for them to piece together and analyze the truth.

The Sword of the State was in Xu Qiyan's hands. He fought against many forces at Quanrong Mountain and preserved the dragon energy.......Emperor Yongxing's pupils dilated and his mood was extremely complicated.

After understanding the truth of the matter, a strong sense of security surged in his heart.

Xu Qiyan was like a great general in history books, guarding the border and letting him, the monarch, rest assured.

"It turned out to be in Xu Qiyan's hands..."

The gray-haired Prince Yu pondered and said, "It seems that the Jianzheng took the Sword of the State and gave it to Xu Qiyan. I didn't expect that the Buddhist sect, the Wushen Sect and the rebels in Yunzhou would gather at Quanrong Mountain. "

A prince frowned: "But what does this have to do with the broken ancestral tablets and the damaged statue of Emperor Gaozu?"

The old Prince Li stood up with a cane and said in a deep voice:

"No matter what, just keep the dragon spirit. Immediately let the governor of Jianzhou investigate this matter. How many masters were dispatched by the Buddhist sect, Wushen Sect and the remnants of Yunzhou, the course of the battle, etc., all of which must be investigated in detail.

"Understanding the situation, we may be able to understand the reason why the statue of Emperor Gaozu was damaged.

"Forcing the supervisor to send the Zhenguo Sword out of the capital, this battle is by no means a trivial matter, and it must be investigated clearly."

After speaking, he looked at Lin'an, his eyes softened a lot, and said:

"Girl, how did you know about this."

Lin'an raised his chin, "Of course I have a way to contact Xu Qian'an. "

Prince Li frowned and looked at Emperor Yongxing in confusion.

The latter sat on the big desk with a smile on his face:

"Uncle cultivates his character and rarely goes out. You don't know that when Xu Qi'an was not yet rising, Lin'an took care of him everywhere, and the two had a deep friendship.

"My face as the emperor is not even one-tenth of Lin'an in front of Xu Qi'an.

"It's not surprising that they have a way to contact each other privately."

Deep friendship...Prince Li glanced at Lin'an, his eyes flashed.

Emperor Yongxing paused for a moment, leaned over slightly, looked at Prince Li, and then looked around at the princes and dukes, and said:

"In this case, do I still need to issue a self-criticism edict?"

Prince Li waved his hand.

Prince Yu said:

"What we need to do now is to find out the matter as soon as possible. The greater the merits of Xu Yinluo, the more beneficial it is to Your Majesty. If someone uses the unusual movement of the ancestral temple to attack Your Majesty, Your Majesty can take the opportunity to announce the truth.

"Not only will it not harm your Majesty's reputation, but it will be beneficial."

Emperor Yongxing's smile widened, and he glanced at the fourth prince.

The latter lowered his head without any expression.

.......

The meeting was over.

Huaiqing led the palace maids, walking gracefully, with her skirt flying, back to Dexin Garden.

"Huaiqing."

The fourth prince was in the same direction as her, and seeing his sister was just ahead, he quickened his pace to catch up.

Huaiqing slowed down his pace, waiting for him to catch up, and at the same time glanced at the two palace maids beside him and sent them away.

The fourth prince kept up with her and walked side by side, gritting his teeth and said:

"It's hateful! Originally this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it made him lose his reputation and prestige.

"You didn't see how proud he was when he said that Xu Qian'an and Lin'an had a deep friendship. He was clearly saying it to us.

"After hearing this, Prince Li's attitude towards Lin'an changed immediately..."

At this point, the Fourth Prince looked up and down at his sister and said:

"I remember that Xu Qian'an was originally your man. It was you who brought him to the imperial city to attend the banquet that day, and he wrote a poem "After getting drunk, I didn't know that the sky was in the water, and the boat was full of clear dreams pressing down the stars."

"Now Lin'an has taken the lead."

Huai Qing, who had originally had a blank expression on his face, looked gloomy and seemed a little angry. He turned his head to look at the Fourth Prince and said lightly:

"Brother, do you think that in this situation, you will do better than Yongxing if you sit on the throne?"

"I... will naturally do better than him."

The Fourth Prince frowned.

"It's just the difference between fifty steps and a hundred steps. The current situation of Dafeng cannot be saved by one person. Who sits in that position will not make much difference. In this case, why should my brother be anxious? "

Huaiqing said calmly.

The fourth prince looked at her: "You mean..."

Huaiqing turned and left: "Fourth brother, it's been a long time since you last read history. The thirteenth chapter of the second volume of "Zhou Ji" is very interesting. You can read it when you have free time. "

........

Jianzhou.

Xu Qiyan drove the pagoda to take Mu Nanzhi, the little mare, Bai Ji and Chai Xing'er who were settled in Jianzhou City back to Quanrong Mountain.

During Chai Xing'er's stay in Jianzhou, her cultivation was sealed. Of course, even so, she was not something that the Flower God's reincarnation, who was powerless, could deal with.

Well, whether she was powerless or not, has not yet been confirmed, after all, Xu Qiyan did not give her a chance.

Fortunately, there is Bai Ji. Although this fox demon cub is also a scumbag, thanks to the good contrast of her peers, she has become the pillar.

Dealing with a weak Chai Xing'er who has been sealed in cultivation, there is no problem.

In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, Xu Qiyan also fed Chai Xing'er with soft tendon powder.

"Have you finished the fight? Did you win or lose? What is the loss of Buddhism? "

Bai Ji kept pestering him, trying to find out the situation of the battle at Quanrong Mountain.

This was not in line with her usual style, so Xu Qian'an asked:

"Are you going to tip off the Nine-tailed Fox?"

Bai Ji's black button-like eyes were dull for a moment, and after a few seconds, she shook her head quickly:

"No, I won't tip off."

Your expression says it all. Well, at least you are much smarter than Lingyin. If it were a little kid, he would be running away in fear, fearing that his big brother was so scary...Xu Qian'an said:

"Of course I won, otherwise how could I stand here?

"After the battle at Quanrong Mountain, Du Nan and Du Fan died in battle, and the Buddhist sect completely lost its Dharma Protector Vajra."

The Buddhist sect no longer has a Dharma Protector Vajra...Bai Ji's black eyes were dull again.

If we add the Du Qing Arhat who was killed outside Yongzhou City, the Buddhist sect lost a second-grade Arhat and two third-grade Vajras in just one month.

This is something that the queen and her people have not done for hundreds of years.

Although the queen has already ordered the monsters of the Wan Yao Kingdom to hide and withdraw from the big stage of Jiuzhou.

I want to tell the queen this good news to make her happy... Bai Ji's eyes were full of joy, and suddenly she realized that Xu Qi'an was looking at her. She quickly blinked her clear black eyes, looking innocent.

Driving the pagoda back to Quanrong Mountain, I saw the old man standing on the edge of the broken cliff, standing with his hands behind his back, overlooking the vast land.

He was wearing cloth clothes, and his silver hair was unruly.

His eyes, although sharp as a warrior, were more of the vicissitudes of life.

Xu Qi'an drove the pagoda, landed beside the old man, and left the pagoda alone.

"Old senior!"

He bowed his hands.

........

The main peak of the Quanrong Mountain has collapsed by more than half, and it is no longer habitable. The internal structure of the mountain is damaged. For a long time to come, it will collapse intermittently until it is completely stable.

Fortunately, the Quanrong Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles and are not an independent mountain.

For the Wulin Alliance, they only need to change the mountain and rebuild the headquarters.

Military town, meeting hall.

Cao Qingyang sat in the first seat, listening to the deputy leader Wen Chengbi report the casualties.

There were 320 believers who died in the collapse of the main peak and did not have time to escape. For various reasons, this group of people did not have time to leave at that time, and were buried forever with the collapse of the mountain.

The military town was quite far away from the battlefield, but the aftermath of the battle blew over, causing the collapse of houses. The preliminary statistics showed that the death toll was 134, and the number of injured was as many as 500.

"The casualties are still bearable. Fortunately, the leader of the alliance moved the elderly, weak, women and children in advance. Those who were affected and died in the military town were also women, children and the elderly. Most of the infantry and young men were outside the house at the time."

Wen Chengbi continued:

"The headquarters needs to be rebuilt, which is a huge expense, and the silver vault of the Wulin Alliance was not moved in time and is now buried at the bottom of the mountain. We don't have so much manpower and financial resources."

Xiao Yuenu, Fu Jingmen, Yang Cuixue and others frowned.

After this battle, the Wulin Alliance suffered heavy losses. Although the casualties were not large, they were still within the tolerance range.

But the headquarters that had been in operation for hundreds of years was destroyed overnight, and the loss of property was heartbreaking.

Cao Qingyang said:

"Getting the silver back is not a problem. At worst, we can ask our ancestors for help to chisel the mountain and move the rocks away. Warriors above the fifth rank can help together."

Qiao Weng, the president of Jianzhou Chamber of Commerce, continued:

"If it is not possible, we can only ask you to donate generously."

These sect leaders and gang leaders are all big bosses, and there are a lot of wealth in their sects.

Fu Jingmen frowned repeatedly and said frankly:

"But the money we can give is limited, and we have to comfort the local victims. Everyone knows that relying on the food from the government can't fill the stomachs of the victims."

Yang Cuixue took over the conversation:

"It is very expensive to rebuild the headquarters in the mountains. Why not compromise and expand the headquarters with the military town as the core?"

Deputy leader Wen Chengbi shook his head repeatedly:

"This is not in line with the ancestral system. The reason why the headquarters is built in the mountains is to let us not forget the purpose of the establishment of the Wulin League. We will never be a simple Jianghu organization.

"It is a righteous army, a righteous army that can attack cities and strongholds in troubled times."

The Wulin League headquarters is equivalent to a fortress occupying a natural barrier.

Cao Qingyang knocked on the table, interrupting the argument, and said:

"Chengbi, go ask the ancestors."

........

"I just went to Jianzhou for a tour, and suddenly, it seemed as if I had returned to the end of the Zhou Dynasty. "

The old man put his hands behind his back, sighing:

"If the disaster is not controlled, the Central Plains will change dynasties within two years."

Xu Qiyan was silent.

The old man turned around and smiled meaningfully:

"Do you know why the two dragon qi chose the Wulin League?"

"The Wulin League has been operating in Jianzhou for hundreds of years. Jianzhou has a stable order, good weather, and the people are well-fed. Now that the Dafeng Dynasty is running out of luck, the dragon qi chooses a master, and naturally thinks that the Wulin League can replace the Dafeng Dynasty."

Xu Qiyan said calmly.

The old man nodded and said:

"From ancient times to the present, there has been no dynasty that has not declined. When I handed over the army to him and returned to Jianzhou, I had an agreement with him. If Dafeng follows the old path of Dazhou in the future, I will end it myself."

Without waiting for Xu Qiyan to respond, he smiled bitterly:

"But neither he nor I expected that the woman would create a sorcerer system later.

"The birth of sorcerers has made it increasingly difficult for ordinary people to rebel. Today, even if there is no external help, it is difficult for the people of the Central Plains to change the dynasty by themselves."

Xu Qi'an pondered for a moment and asked tentatively:

"Woman?"

"It's the first generation of the Supervisor!" The old man laughed:

"She is more beautiful than a woman, and follows your Emperor Gaozu of Dafeng all day long. If I didn't know that the shameless guy likes women, I would have thought they were..."

Good brothers who have sworn brotherhood...Xu Qi'an said it for him in his heart.

"Old senior and the Supervisor, um, the current Supervisor, do you have any agreement?"

"Yes." The old man nodded.

Sure enough, the Wulin Alliance has always been the Supervisor's hidden chess...Xu Qi'an asked quickly:

"What agreement? When was the agreement made?"
