Chapter 342
342 The female corpse (1)
Xu Qi ‘an didn’t receive a reply from Wei Yuan. Instead, the Golden gongs arrived. One after another, powerful figures appeared on the seventh floor. Two of them were familiar faces.
Nangong qianrou and Zhang Kaitai.
“Wei gongzi, are you alright?”
A strong and burly golden gong with a purple-gold hammer in his hand scanned the surroundings with his big eyes as if he was facing a great enemy.
“We have failed in our duties and did not notice the invasion of the enemy. Please forgive us, Duke of Wei.”
As Zhang Kaitai spoke, he spread out his spiritual power to sense the possible dangers and enemies.
Gradually, the experienced golden gongs noticed that something was wrong. First of all, with their Foundation in the spirit-refinement realm, if there was danger around them, their spiritual sense would give them feedback.
But there was nothing.
The entire noble spirit building was calm and peaceful, but the clerks inside the building were in a panic.
Secondly, if it was an invasion by a powerful enemy that could hide from their perception, Duke Wei would definitely not be safe and sound.
Could it be that the rumors were true, that there was an expert hidden in the shadows around Lord Wei to protect him?
This guess rose in the hearts of the Golden gongs. No one thought of Xu Qi ‘an. It was very simple. The strength of his primordial spirit might not be much in the eyes of the Golden gongs, but the thickness of his primordial spirit was really amazing.
It was definitely not something that someone who had just entered the spirit-forging stage could trigger.
At this moment, they heard Nangong qianrou ask Xu Qi ‘an, “”Were you the one who was up to no good just now?”
Nangong qianrou knew that Xu Qi ‘an was not an ordinary spirit-forging stage cultivator.
What the hell? I’m not ning caichen … Xu Qi ‘an looked at Wei Yuan. Seeing him nod, he admitted, ” it’s me. Just now, Lord Wei wanted to test the strength of my primordial spirit, so I simply shouted.
The tea room fell into a brief silence.
The Golden gongs looked at him in silence, their faces devoid of expression.
After a long time, Zhang Kaitai probed, “”Xu ningyan, you advanced to the spirit-forging stage in Yunzhou, right?”
When Jiang Luzhong’s Secret letter had been sent back to the capital, they had learned that Xu Qi ‘an had advanced to the spirit-forging stage. At that time, the Duke of Wei was in an extremely good mood when he talked about this.
However, even so, he had only advanced to the spirit-forging stage for half a month. The strong and pure primordial spirit fluctuation just now should not be something that a spirit-forging stage martial artist should have at this level.
This talent was truly a little shocking.
At the thought of this, the Golden gongs looked at Xu Qi ‘an as if they were looking at a strange object.
I suddenly understand why Jiang Lu Zhong and Yang Yan fought for him. A golden gong muttered.
He was suddenly enlightened!
The Golden gongs ‘gazes became even more intense.
“Don’t misunderstand …” “I only advanced to the spirit-refinement realm at the last moment before I died,” Xu Qi ‘an said, waving his hand.
This … The Golden gongs examined him again. After a short silence, they said in unison, “”Lord Wei …”
Wei Yuan shook his head. Xu Qi ‘an is still under Yang Yan’s command. If any of you want him, you can go to Yang Yan.
“It’s a deal!”
Apart from Nangong qianrou, the six gongs sounded in unison again.
It doesn’t matter who I join, but isn’t yang Jinluo too innocent … Xu Qi ‘an prayed that Yang Yan would return to the capital later, at least until the heat died down.
Yang Jinluo, who had been working hard to suppress the rebellion and bandits outside, had returned to the capital from thousands of miles away. What he was greeted with was not cheers, but the fists of his colleagues. And Jiang Lu was stabbed in the back after he learned of the matter.
Zhang Kaitai walked to the observation Hall and looked outside. He said helplessly, “”The night watchmen and the guards are all gathered downstairs.”
you’re all dismissed, ” Wei Yuan said. just keep this to yourself. Don’t spread it around.
“Yes!”
……….
After the guards and night watchmen left, Xu Qi ‘an slowly drank a cup of tea, then left the noble spirit building and returned to the spring breeze Hall.
His aunt and Xu lingyue sat at the table and waited. Xu lingying had fallen asleep in her mother’s arms.
“Big brother, where have you been?” Xu lingyue came up to him, frowning as she said with a lingering fear, ”
“Why was there Thunder just now? mother and lingying were both frightened.”
Xu lingyue was a scheming and somewhat Black-bellied younger sister. She was also scared pale just now, but in front of her big brother, she had to maintain a perfect image.
He had cleverly used his sister and mother.
“It’s a bolt from the blue, it’s common.” Xu Qi ‘an took out a note of 100 taels of silver and said, ” the matter has been resolved. This is the compensation from the Zhao family. You don’t have to worry about this matter.
The Auntie looked at the banknote in disbelief. “For me?”
Xu Qi ‘an nodded hard. aunt has worked hard for the family. This is what you deserve. It’s a pity that it’s only a hundred taels. After all, the person behind him is not small.”
His aunt took the silver notes and looked at him. She was touched and said in a low voice, “”Ningyan, I’m just a grumbling woman. Please don’t take my words to heart.”
“We’re one family.” Xu Qi ‘an said sincerely.
ah, right, I have something on tonight. I won’t be going home.
“Is there something?” “You haven’t rested at home since you came back from Yunzhou. What’s the matter?”
I’m talking about a big business deal, ” Xu Qi ‘an said. I’ll invest in two mountains and develop a Valley. I’ll also invest a lot of gold.
“Eldest brother is full of nonsense. You did not return to the residence last night, so you can’t be entertaining your colleagues again tonight.” Xu lingyue was a little suspicious, and with her woman’s intuition, she asked, ”
“Father said that big brother likes to go to the Imperial Academy.”
“Go, go, go.” “Your big brother isn’t that kind of person. Even your big brother doesn’t know how to fool around with Erlang,” her aunt scolded her.
“Then, big brother, swear to me that you’ve never been to the Imperial Academy.” Xu lingyue pursed her lips, her eyes filled with stubbornness.
