Dafeng’s Night Squad - Chapter 528

528 Exchanging information for pills (1)

At night, the stars and moon were dim, and the fog was thick.

Xu Qi ‘an carried Zhong Li on his back and looked down at the capital city from the sky. The largest city in the world was hidden in the darkness.

An elevated bonfire was set up every 20 steps on the horse Road of the city wall for illumination. In addition, the candles in the Imperial Palace, the Imperial City, and the inner city were quite bright.

“It’s so beautiful.” Zhong Li, who was lying on his back, murmured.

“Can’t the eight trigrams stage of the Imperial astronomer see such a night view?” Xu Qi ‘an said with a smile.

“I can’t believe it’s so beautiful. Furthermore, teacher has to observe the sky at night. At this time, we are not allowed to go up the eight trigrams stage, except for Caiwei.” Zhong Li said regretfully.

“Why can Caiwei do it?” Xu Qi ‘an was surprised.

…….. You’re talking bad about Cai Wei? I didn’t expect you to be like this, Zhong Li. Well, with the character of this unlucky fifth Senior Sister, she should be telling the truth …

“Perhaps it’s because she’s the youngest and stupidest, so the teacher is particularly fond of her.” Zhong Li guessed.

…….. You’re talking bad about Cai Wei? I didn’t expect you to be like this, Zhong Li. Well, with the character of this unlucky fifth Senior Sister, she should be telling the truth … It seemed that the Directorate of Celestials had acknowledged that Cai Wei’s brain wasn’t too smart.

Xu Qi ‘an changed the topic and said in a low voice, “”In my dream, I saw a city. Every night, there would be lamps lit up on the streets, and the dense mist would coil around every corner of the city.

“In my dream, I saw a city that was filled with tall buildings like the stargazing tower, which emitted rays of light of various colors.

I saw a city in my dream. There were glowing carriages moving through the streets. The whole city was bright and dazzling, and the candlelight did not stop until dawn.

Zhong Li was a little dazed, she mumbled, “”That must be the immortal land.”

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t answer. He just smiled, but there was nostalgia and sadness in his smile.

The flying sword and paper crane didn’t land immediately. Instead, they hovered in the air outside the city for a moment. This was similar to knocking on the door, giving the astrologers and experts of the capital a chance to react.

He wanted to let them know that they weren’t enemies, but allies.

If they landed suddenly without saying a word, the experts in the capital would probably attack them.

The flying sword and paper crane landed in a secluded alley not far from the city gate. Everyone cupped their hands and bid farewell. The unconscious Lina was taken away by Daoist priest Golden Lotus, who would be looking after her for the time being. After all, Golden Lotus was the leader of the Tiandi society.

He should be the one to take this responsibility.

Xu Qi ‘an carried Zhong Li to the guards at the city gate.

There was a fine horse with a strong body and graceful curves.

Last night, he had left the city with the Golden Lotus Daoist priest and the others. He had also brought the little mare with him and handed it over to the patrolling Imperial saber guards on the way. He had them help him place it at the city gate and let the soldiers guard the city.

“Little mare, your Needle Man is back.”

Xu Qi ‘an touched the little mare’s neck, untied the reins, and rode back to the inner city with Zhong Li.

It would take midnight to walk from the outer city gate to the Xu mansion in the inner city. It was faster to ride a horse. Xu Qi ‘an was glad that he had the foresight.

By the time Zhong Li used her silver Gong’s special privilege to open the gate of the inner city and returned to the Xu mansion, it was already late at night. Zhong Li took a quick shower and used the wooden stick that Xu Qi ‘an gave her to set her bones.

“I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. You didn’t have to suffer this.” Xu Qi ‘an said guiltily.

“Bring me back to the Directorate of Celestials tomorrow. Teacher will treat my leg.”

Zhong Li lowered her head, rubbed her legs and whispered, ” I want to borrow your luck to avoid misfortune, so I naturally have to give you something in return. In your words, this is an equivalent exchange, an unchanging law of alchemy.

“Senior martial sister Zhong is so reasonable, I’m so touched … En, senior martial sister Zhong, are you sleepy?”

Zhong Li shook her head.

Pa! Xu Qi ‘an placed a blank booklet in front of her and said, “”If you’re not sleepy, help me write. I’m very tired from carrying you back to the capital from Xiang city. Equivalent exchange is an unchanging principle of alchemy.”

Zhong Li was stunned.

Xu Qi ‘an poured some water and ground the ink, urging, “”Hurry up, I promised the princess that I would send her a storybook. I’ve already ignored her for a day.”

“Oh …”

Zhong Li answered weakly, then walked to the table and sat down. She straightened her back and took the brush that Xu Qi ‘an handed to her.

…………..

The next day, Xu Qi ‘an dressed up, tied a Gong and hung a knife, and sent Zhong Li back to her mother’s house.

After watching Zhong Li enter the stargazing tower, Xu Qi ‘an suddenly heard a long chant from behind, ”

“When the ocean reaches its end, the heavens come to shore, and I am the peak of the art of Dao.”

Did senior brother yang change his mantra? No, when you said such words at the bottom of the stargazing tower, did you consider the supervisor’s feelings? Xu Qi ‘an put on a warm smile, turned around, and said,

“Senior brother yang, what’s the matter?”

you seemed to have some problems last night. Do you need me to help you deal with them? ” Yang qianhuan asked.

Xu Qi ‘an felt a chill run down her spine. She narrowed her eyes and stared sharply at yang qianhuan’s back.

What did he mean by that? Is he referring to the luck I seized in the ancient tomb yesterday? Impossible, how could yang qianhuan have discovered my Strange Luck?

In his bewilderment, yang qianhuan stood with his hands behind his back and said, “”I’m just helping teacher pass on the message. Tell me your thoughts, I’ll reply.”

My idea is to beat you up!

Xu Qi ‘an’s mouth twitched.

“If I’m not wrong, maybe when I returned to the capital last night, the head Warden saw my abnormality on the eight trigrams stage. There’s no need to doubt it. A first-grade Warlock who has climbed high and looked far can’t have only noticed it now.

“The supervisor asked senior brother yang to pass a message to me, which means that the heavenly secrets he blocked for me are no longer effective? Was it because he had retracted his luck impact yesterday?

“Then I’ll definitely reject it. If du ‘e Arhat goes back to the Western regions, what reason do I have to accept the 404 laws? During this period of time, every time I went to the brothel, my heart would bleed. A life that can’t be wasted is meaningless.”
