Chapter 146
146 Chapter 129-fear (added for the Alliance master “the boy really wants to”) _2
A shocking scene happened. The Spirit Dragon, who had gone mad, suddenly stopped. Its four claws curved, and its toenails plowed a deep trench on the ground. It actually stopped in front of the blade mark.
He actually didn’t dare to take a step beyond the boundaries?
This scene was deeply imprinted in Princess Lin an’s heart, and also fell into the eyes of Emperor Yuan jing, Wei Yuan and the Crown Prince.
“Ang …”
It was very anxious and scared, as if it was threatened by something … ‘But in front of me, it’s much calmer and calmer …’ However, the fear did not decrease … It wanted me to run with it, or it wanted to run with me …
The Spirit Dragon lay on the ground and cried out anxiously.
Xu Qi ‘an could easily read its emotions. The Spirit Dragon told him to run away. To be more precise, they were running away together.
It was very anxious and scared, as if it was threatened by something … ‘But in front of me, it’s much calmer and calmer …’ However, the fear did not decrease … It wanted me to run with it, or it wanted to run with me … Xu Qi ‘an gradually had a guess in his heart.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” Xu Qi ‘an said.
The second Princess thought that Xu Qi ‘an was talking to her, and her heart was filled with a sense of security.
After hearing Xu Qi ‘an’s words, the Spirit Dragon was no longer anxious. It called out listlessly.
At this time, a group of guards finally arrived and dragged a large dark golden net together.
Shua!
The large net was thrown out and covered the three-meter-long strange beast.
Da da da da … Emperor Yuan jing rode his horse over and carefully examined the princess of Lin an. Seeing that the second Princess was indeed fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.
“Father …” The princess of Lin an pouted and jogged to the side of the horse, and held onto Emperor Yuan jing’s sleeve.
Emperor Yuan jing was a big fan of this, so he comforted her gently.
Then, the black-haired Emperor, who was over 50 years old, examined Xu Qi ‘an from head to toe.
“Your humble servant greets Your Majesty.” Xu Qi ‘an bowed and cupped his fists.
There was a benefit to the great fengchao dynasty. Other than some special occasions, one only needed to bow to the Emperor and did not need to kneel.
“Well done. What’s your name?” Emperor Yuan jing nodded.
“Your Majesty, I am Xu Qi ‘an.”
Emperor Yuan jing was stunned for a moment. He examined her again and was surprised.”You are Xu Qi ‘an?”
“Yes!” After Xu Qi ‘an finished speaking, he looked at Emperor Yuan jing’s confused expression and explained, “”I encountered some problems while investigating the case, so I came to the city to consult the eldest Princess.”
Emperor Yuan jing didn’t ask any further questions. He just nodded and his eyes fell on the knife in Xu Qi ‘an’s hand. show me the knife.
Xu Qi ‘an presented the black gold long knife with both hands.
The guard took it and handed it to Emperor Yuan jing. The latter looked at it carefully and praised, “”Good blade!”
“Supervisor Zheng gave it to me,” Wei Yuan replied with a smile.
Supervisor? Emperor Yuan jing raised his eyebrows, probably not understanding why the supervisor would give a treasure knife to a small gong.
“Your Majesty, Xu Qi ‘an is proficient in alchemy and has a good relationship with the sorcerers of the Directorate of Celestials. I’ve seen him giving a lecture to an Alchemist once.” Wei Yuan said casually.
Xu Qi ‘an saw a flash of surprise in Emperor Yuan jing’s eyes, but he quickly hid it. The old Emperor smiled and said, “”I remember now. You showed your alchemy skills in the tax case.”
Emperor Yuan jing handed the saber to the guard and asked him to return it to Xu Qi ‘an.
Wei Yuan is helping me to build up my image as a capable Minister and increase my personal weight … What Wei Yuan? it’s father Wei! Xu Qian was slightly touched.
The princess of Lin an shook the emperor’s sleeve and said in a tender voice,”Father, Xu Qi ‘an saved me. You have to reward him.”
“He should be rewarded.” Emperor Yuan jing nodded, stared at Xu Qi ‘an, and said loudly, “”Night watchman Xu Qi ‘an, saving the princess of Lin’ an is a meritorious deed, reward is one thousand Liang of gold, five hundred Rolls of silk.”
“Father!” The princess of Lin ‘an was not willing. She pointed at Xu Qi’ an and said,”He just saved your son’s life, so your son will return his life. Your son asks you to spare his death.”
Emperor Yuan jing immediately looked sharply at Xu Qi ‘an. Seeing his submissive and docile appearance, Emperor Yuan jing restrained the sharpness in his eyes and shook his head. I’ve already allowed him to atone for his crimes by solving the Sang Bo case. Naturally, I’ll spare him from the death penalty. How can I change my words halfway? ”
Lin ‘an was unconvinced. then if he doesn’t solve the case, isn’t he dead? what’s the use of rewarding him with a thousand taels of gold? ” he shouted.
“When the time comes, I’ll deal with it as I see fit,” Emperor Yuan jing said helplessly.
He didn’t want to say these words in front of Xu Qi ‘an, in case he was fearless and delayed the investigation.
So he added, ” the time limit is still half a month. If you can solve the case, I will naturally spare you from the death penalty. If you can’t, even if Lin ‘an pleads for mercy, I will not kill you. I will also exile you to the border. Do you understand?”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Xu Qi ‘an said loudly. He saw the princess of Lin’ an winking at him, smiling like a flower.
I’ve made a fortune from this investment. Even if I can’t find the mastermind behind the Sang Bo case, I don’t have to die. At most, I’ll be exiled. Heh, a small matter like exile is something that Wei Yuan can celebrate in Lin ‘an. As a slave of the three families, I don’t have to worry about it at all.
Emperor Yuan jing looked at Ling Long, who knew his place and was not afraid of anything. He was furious and said, “”Drag this beast back to the lake.”
The Spirit Dragon looked at Emperor Yuan jing, raised its body with its claws, and snorted at Emperor Yuan jing.
“Alright, you can go back on your own.” Emperor Yuan jing scolded.
The guards removed the net, and the spirit Dragon went back leisurely.
After Emperor Yuan jing appeased the second Princess, he squeezed the horse’s belly and followed behind Ling Long.
Xu Qi ‘an looked at Emperor Yuan jing’s back in silence.
Just now when the princess of Lin an pleaded for me, his eyes were sharp as he looked at me … This is to think that I am bewitching and inducing Lin ‘an?
The rumors were true. Emperor Yuan jing was indeed a very controlling person … Indeed, emperors who yearned for longevity all had a strong desire for power.
‘So tiring … ‘In front of this kind of expert in power, I don’t dare to make too many small moves. It’s possible that with just a look or a change in expression, he can guess what I’m thinking …’ Well, my acting skills are still good, and I did a good job of putting on a respectful and fearful expression.
……
On the high platform by the lake.
Emperor Yuan jing stood on the shore and spoke in a low voice. The Spirit Dragon stuck its head out of the water and rested on the edge of the high platform.
The man and beast conversed for a long time before Emperor Yuan jing left angrily.
Wei Yuan walked up to Emperor yuanjing. Seeing his gloomy face, he consoled him, “”Your Majesty, why must you be angry with a beast?”
“Hmph, this dog is looking down on me more and more.” Emperor Yuan jing was still angry. it ignored me when I spoke to it.
Naturally, he didn’t manage to find out the reason for the Spirit Dragon’s sudden madness.
“The Spirit Dragon won’t go berserk for no reason. Wei Yuan, pass on my orders. Strengthen the Imperial City’s defenses. No one is allowed to enter or leave the Imperial City after the curfew.”
Wei Yuan nodded.
Emperor yuanjing walked in silence for a long time before he suddenly said, “”Why did that beast suddenly stop the fire just now?”
Wei Yuan shook his head,”maybe it’s because he’s done throwing a tantrum ..”
He had a vague guess in his heart, but it was too absurd.
