Chapter 609 - 609: Appointment by the Imperial court (2)
“What do you think?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
chief advisor Wang and Wei Yuan are political enemies. Big brother is Wei Yuan’s confidant. How can I have anything to do with the young lady of the Wang family? ” Xu niannian made his stand clear.
I’ve never wanted Erlang to be branded as.”eunuch’s conspirator… ‘m worried that he doesn’t have any backing in the Imperial court. If he could rely on chief advisor Wang … But this isn’t child’s play. Who knows if my idea will push Erlang into the fire pit?
Xu Qi ‘an thought for a long time and said, “”lt’s up to you to decide. You’ll have to walk your future path on your own. In the Imperial court, there were no eternal enemies. Didn’t Lord Wei and chief advisor Wang join forces to deal with the shortcomings of the minor officials?
“Moreover, even if you and miss Wang get together in the future, she will be the one marrying into the Xu family, not you. There’s a fundamental difference here. You’re still free.”
Xu niannian was a little embarrassed, and his face was slightly red. big brother, you’re speaking as if there’s really something going on between miss Wang and me.
besides, ” he continued, frowning, ” she only likes me because I’m pretty. If I’m scary-looking, will she still like me? ”
“It depends on how you pronounce the word” long, ‘”‘ Xu Qi ‘an replied.
He didn’t think it was wrong for miss Wang to covet Xu Erlang’s beauty. Shouldn’t you start with his face when you like him?
He liked Lin ‘an, huaiqing, Caiwei, li Miaozhen, susu, Lina, and even the state preceptor because they were all very good -looking.
He also liked a beauty like the little mare. He would miss her every day he didn’t ride her.
As for Zhong Li, her hair was disheveled and she didn’t reveal her true appearance, so Xu Qi ‘an retained the right to like her.
After returning to his room, he followed the method recorded in the theory of meridians and practiced the slow fist in his room. He felt the circulation of Qi in his body, the flow of blood, the extension and contraction of muscles when he exerted force.
An hour later, Xu Qi ‘an sat at the table and took the warm tea from Zhong Li. He said to himself,
too slow. The theory of circulation is at most an auxiliary function. Whether I can reach huajin or not will depend on myself … “If this goes on, it’ll be hard to even reach rank-5 by the end of the year, let alone rank-4.
“I have to find a way to improve my strength and awaken my fate energy. The mastermind will not sit by and do nothing. Even with the protection of Jian Zheng and Shen Shu, I’m not completely safe. The other party is at least a third -grade Warlock, and there might be even more powerful forces behind him.
“Haste makes waste. Even though it is difficult to convert energy, at least it can be improved slowly. To me, the promotion of my rank and the increase in my power are the most difficult.”
In the past, he had chosen to stay in the capital because of its prosperity and material wealth, but he also had the pride of ” at worst, I’ll just wander the Jianghu ” in his heart.
But now, he wanted to seize more power in the Imperial court. His own strength and the power in his hands complemented each other, so that he would have the power to fight against his ” creditors ” in the future.
Therefore, he was lacking an opportunity to make a contribution.
“It’s a pity that the year of the capital’s investigation has passed, and the capital is now peaceful. I don’t have many opportunities to make a contribution.” Xu Qi ‘an sighed and turned to think about how to improve his cultivation.
An idea just flashed through his mind:
the heaven and earth One slash is a technique that gathers all the Qi in one’s body into one move, while huajin is also a technique that combines Qi and energy into one. Not a single bit is wasted, and the greatest power can be unleashed with the smallest price. The two are different methods with the same result.
This idea surprised him, and he couldn’t wait to verify it.
Xu Qi ‘an stood still in the room, took a deep breath, and calmed all his emotions. His breath collapsed and he restrained it .
“No, no, I’m not executing the heaven and earth single blade slash .
He quickly stopped gathering power and dispersed his Qi. He used the heaven and earth One blade slash again, but this time, he didn’t combine it with his Qi.
He used his body’s strength.
A punch was thrown, and the air let out a crisp explosion sound. Because it was not mixed with Qi, it did not cause a large area of damage.
my arm is still trembling, but when I punched, my strength was indeed bursting out in one place, although. lost a lot of it in the process …
This result made Xu Qi ‘an overjoyed. He had taken the right path. As long as he practiced according to this method, the time he needed to advance to the fifth stage would be greatly reduced.
it’s much, much better than the ‘theory of meridians’. Hehe, I’m really. genius.. ‘ve found another way … The joy on his face had just appeared when it suddenly froze.
This was because “heaven and earth One slash” was a martial art given by the Directorate of Celestials to be the night watchman, and it was a secret gift from the supervisor …
This is all within your expectations, prison Jojo.
The Imperial Palace, the Imperial study.
Just after seven o ‘clock, the officials were sent to the Imperial study by the eunuchs sent by the Emperor.
After all the officials had gathered, Emperor Yuan jing, who was wearing a Taoist robe, walked to the back of the large table with light steps and sat on his throne.
“My beloved ministers have been reporting to investigate the matter of the” bloody massacre “for three thousand miles. I agree with you.” Emperor Yuan jing looked down at the officials in the hall and said in a calm tone, ‘
“I wish to set up a diplomatic mission to the border to investigate this matter.
Do you have any suitable candidates?”
“Your Majesty, this case is of great importance. It should be handled by the three departments together,” chief advisor Wang stepped forward and bowed.
This was a good tacit understanding formed within the Imperial court over the years. Whenever there was a big case, the three departments and the night watchman Yamen would deal with it together. It was both cooperation and mutual supervision.
Emperor Yuan jing waited for a moment. Seeing that no official objected or added anything, he said, “”Where’s the host? Do you have any suitable candidates?”
When multiple parties worked together to handle a case, they either did their own things or formed a team. The team naturally had to have a leader. Otherwise, they would just be a pile of loose sand.
Generally speaking, cases that required travelling to other places were basically solved in groups, not individually.
When they heard the words “organizer,” an arrogant young man in a silver
Gong uniform almost instinctively and habitually appeared in their minds.
This was not only an acknowledgment of Xu Qi ‘an’s ability, but also because Xu Qi’ an had solved many big and important cases in the past six months, leaving a deep impression on people.
“We can appoint the night watchman, silver Gong Xu Qi ‘an, as the organizer,” chief advisor Wang said after a moment of silence.
He didn’t praise Xu Qi ‘an, because he didn’t need it.
“Good!”
All the officials said in unison.
Noble Qi building, tea room.
“What? I’ll be the organizer for the case of the bloody massacre?”
Hearing the news, Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes widened in shock.
This was different from the Yunzhou case. In the Yunzhou case, provincial governor Zhang was the chief organizer, and he was one of the accompanying personnel. And this time, he was the theoretical leader.
The pros and cons were obvious. If this case was solved, he would take the credit. If the case of the bloody massacre really existed and he found the truth, the credit would be unimaginable.
I was just worried that. wouldn’t have. chance to make. contribution … Just because I want to sleep, someone gives me a pillow? Xu Qi ‘an was half happy and half sad, because if he couldn’t solve the case, he would be punished.
This was still a good thing. If the bloody massacre case was really the North vanquishing Prince’s fault, and he lied about the military situation, then he would be in danger.
“Duke of Wei, I’m afraid that the Lords have bad intentions in recommending me as the organizer? Why didn’t His Majesty appoint an Inspector-General, but instead agreed to let me, a silver Gong, be the chief executive?”
Xu Qi ‘an looked at da Qing Yi and continued, “”You have to send a golden gong to protect me.”
not bad. You’re more sensitive than before, ” Wei Yuan said gently, stroking his teacup. the old you wouldn’t have tried to figure out the intentions of the court officials and his Majesty.
No, I just feel that with you, the king of politics, by my side, I’m too lazy to use my brain … “Please teach me, Duke Wei,” Xu Qi ‘an said humbly.
