After eating steamed stuffed bun, Xu Qi'an asks Zhu Guangxiao and song Tingfeng to inform the rest of the team and gather in the front yard.

Xu Qian's current team includes six captors: JinYuTang, Zhenxie Tang, Chunfeng Tang, Sitian supervisor Chu Caiwei and Fuya.

A total of 24 people.

Min Shan and Yang Feng are responsible for verifying the production and use records of gunpowder. This is a tedious and time-consuming work.

Xu Qian thought that the gunpowder did not come from the Ministry of industry, just out of caution, still did not stop the investigation of the Ministry of industry.

To leave Beijing today, knowing that so many forces were involved in the Sangpo case, Xu Qi'an obeyed Xin's wishes and brought as many people as he could.

He went to the imperial city first, and the others were stopped outside the imperial city. The only one who could walk with him was Chu Caiwei.

This girl is a frequent visitor to the imperial city. She wants to come and go. Her status is very unusual.

"Did the princess give you a jade pendant?" Xu Qian asked.

Chu Caiwei nodded.

"I have, too." Xu Qi'an takes out the waist jade given by Princess Lin'an and shows off with pride.

"A little familiar... Ah, Princess Lin'an's?" Chu Caiwei let out a cry.

"I'm Princess Lin'an's man now. She appreciates me. Seeing that the eldest princess didn't give me a jade pendant, she quickly gave one to show that she attached more importance to me than the eldest princess and was more worthy of refuge. " Xu Qi'an told the girl with big eyes about yesterday.

"What a fool she is." Chu Caiwei chuckled and laughed at Lin'an.

Elder brother, don't laugh. Second brother, you don't have the confidence to laugh at mounting. Xu Qian echoed: "yes, not every woman is as smart as Caiwei girl."

Chu Caiwei's goose face makes her smile sweeter and sweeter.

After a while, I finally came to huaiqin palace. The title of Zhenbei king is huaiwang, and he is also the brother of emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, the name of his residence is huaiqinwangfu.

There are two white jade lions in front of the gate. The middle gate is two feet high. The gold studs are arranged in order. The Jiaotu door rings are bigger than the general palaces of princes and nobles.

In addition to the high-end atmosphere on the grade, Xu qian can not think of other adjectives.

At the door stood a line of sharp armed men, looking solemn.

"My official, Xu Qi'an, is the sponsor of the Sangpo case appointed by your majesty. If you have something to see the princess, please go and pass it on." Xu Qi'an showed his gold medal.

A Jiashi glanced at Xu Qian and said in a deep voice, "the princess doesn't see anyone. Please go back."

Xu Qian was about to censure him, and then he added with a sneer: "this is also your Majesty's order. Even if the princess wants to see the princess, it depends on our princess's mood.

"Get out of here quickly, and take less chicken feathers."

Xu Qi'an suddenly realized "Oh" and said with a smile: "the gold medal given by your majesty is chicken feathers... This man blasphemed your majesty and committed the crime of great disrespect."

He pressed the handle of the knife behind his waist with one hand and grinned: "I'm going to arrest the criminals now. Who dares to stop me? I'll kill you!"

Bang!

The long black gold sword is half an inch out of its sheath, and the Qi waves out.

The bodyguard who satirized Xu Qi'an knew that he had said something wrong, and his face turned pale slightly.

The head of the bodyguard glared at the unobstructed subordinates and walked towards Xu Qi'an. As he walked, a piece of armor made a sound.

"My Lord, the princess is not in the house."

"Where have you been?" Xu Qi'an sat on the back of his horse and looked down at him.

"I'm just a gatekeeper. I don't know the whereabouts of the princess. But she's not in the mansion. She just left the city this morning, half an hour away from you. " The head of the bodyguard said kindly.

Xu Qi'an nodded slightly and said with a strong attitude: "I want to arrest the criminal now. If you don't want to be sentenced to shielding your colleagues, please help me take this man."

He pointed to the sarcastic oracle at the exit.

"My Lord!" The head of the bodyguard was worried. He was so angry that he didn't dare to get angry. He said sincerely, "the princess is not in the mansion."

When the princes and nobles come, they can not be shamed.

But the other side holds the gold medal in hand, and catches the handle of the subordinates. The head of the bodyguard can only value harmony.

Xu Qi'an believed it, turned his horse's head and left with Chu Caiwei.

"Our princess is a little interesting. We can't even see the eldest princess." Xu Qi'an is smiling to probe a way.

Chu Caiwei lived up to the expectations of the public. She was not aware of Xu Qian's temptation at all. She answered honestly: "the identity of the princess is very special."

"How special?"

"It's a secret." Chu Caiwei grinned: "it's not good for you to ask less about these things."

Then, with a straight face, she warned, "don't bribe me with food."

"Why?"

"Because I'm afraid I can't help it..." she said wrongly.

...

there are three tasks today. The investigation of Zhao county magistrate's death had relatively accurate results last night. In the remaining two tasks, see the princess did not achieve.

Xu Qi'an, who had a bad start, felt very happy!He is a serious person who treats his work seriously. He is not in a bad mood because he wants to see the beauty of the princess.

What's special about the princess? This is definitely not a special face value, but refers to other. Since she was so special, why did emperor yuan Jing give the great beauty to the king of Zhenbei in those years? Or, it was because of this special that emperor yuan Jing gave the beauty to him.

Xu Qi'an was distracted for a moment, then left the princess behind.

The case is so difficult that we can't waste brain cells on these trivial matters.

...

there is a Baifeng mountain in the western suburb of Dafeng. It takes more than half an hour from the west gate.

The name of Baifeng mountain comes from a kind of white wild bird inhabiting in the mountain. Its tail feather is very long, just like a Phoenix, so it gets its name.

But now the white phoenix on the mountain is almost extinct. It's still the pot of Si Tianjian.

In a certain month of a year, a doctor of Si Tianjian ran to Baifeng mountain to collect herbs and caught several Baifeng. After taking them home for research, he found that Baifeng's meat can strengthen Yang...

when he came to the foot of Baifeng mountain, well-informed LV Qing talked about it with a smile.

Song Tingfeng hesitated and said, "chief, I have a friend who is not well. I want to give him some Baifeng."

Minshan minyin Gong glared and said, "when is the time? I still want to play game. It's very important. If the case is delayed, who is responsible?"

Li Yuchun frowned and did not answer.

Xu Qi'an said with a smile: "this time I come to Baifeng mountain, I mainly want to know something about the past, but it's not very urgent. Tingfeng, you remember to go and return as soon as possible."

On hearing this, min Shan said with a shy face, "Mr. Xu, why don't you let me go with song tonggong, or you can have a look after me."

Should we take care of each other when we fight birds? Xu Qiyan: "do you have a friend?"

Min Shan felt that all the men were staring at him with a strange look.

Min Yinluo was a little impatient. He said for a long time, "it doesn't matter whether you are strong or not. It's mainly about trying to taste what it's like to be a dying bird."

The crowd burst into laughter. After laughing, Xu Qian said with a straight face, "I was just joking. The background of the Sangbo case is very complicated. I don't care where you go in the capital. Except the capital, don't leave the team."

The winding steps run through the forest. There is a huge memorial archway at the foot of the mountain, with a plaque of "Qinglong Temple".

Qinglong Temple doesn't say that there are so many pilgrims, but it's not a depression. Along the way, you can occasionally see people nearby who go up the mountain to burn incense together.

Beside the memorial archway, there is a luxury carriage with more than a dozen military guards.

Xu Qian is familiar with the car. It's made of Phoebe. The details of the car body are wrapped with jade pieces and gold foil. It was the carriage that he met when he went to the teaching place.

The owner of the carriage also asked Xu Qian to throw a pot and exchange four hundred taels of gold for Bodhi bracelets.

"By the way, Taoist priest Jinlian said that the women in the carriage will have a relationship with me... Who will it be? Phoebe is exclusive to the royal family. The carriage of the eldest princess and the second princess is not like this. A princess in the clan? Or the emperor's concubine? "

"No, it's definitely not a concubine. Don't scare yourself."

Even if it's a concubine, it has to be a beautiful woman of the level of an aunt... He added in his heart.

tied the horse to the wooden post beside the memorial arch, leaving a fast hand of a government office, a gong Gong looking at the horse, and Xu Kwai an climbing with more people.

Did not walk a few steps, Xu Qi'an foot a soft, stepped on a sachet.

I don't want to pick up silver today. I want to pick up sachets instead?

He naturally stooped to pick it up and held it in his hand. The sachet was embroidered with complex cloud patterns. The workmanship was fine and the materials were expensive. It was not affordable for ordinary rich families.

One side of the sachet is embroidered with the golden word "Nan", and the other side is embroidered with the word "Zhi". Golden tassels with beautiful knots.

Xu seven an smelt a good smell, like perfume, like sandalwood, and the unique aroma of a woman.

"People in front, you wait..." a clear voice came from behind the crowd.

A girl in a light blue coat caught up with her. She was not afraid of the watchman's bad clothes. Pointing to the sachet in Xu Qi'an's hand, she was relieved and said, "this is from our mother."

She combed her maid's hair in a bun, but the material she wore was even better than that of the rich family.

Xu Qi'an subconsciously looked at the luxury carriage at the foot of the mountain: "your lady?"

"Don't ask too much, return the sachet quickly." The girl's tone was very strong.

"What sachet?" Xu Qi'an received the sachet in his arms.

"You..." the girl glared at him fiercely, "you wait for me."

Carrying a thick skirt, she ran down the stone steps. Xu Qi'an didn't leave. She stayed in the same place, watching her close to the carriage and talking at the window.

"Ningyan, don't make trouble. It's a royal carriage." Li Yuchun frowned.

Xu Qi'an is only authorized to investigate the case. In Chunge's heart, he is still his subordinate. Chunge doesn't want to cause too much trouble during Xu Qian's investigation. In this way, even if he makes contributions in the future, he will offend those who shouldn't, and his efforts will be in vain.You don't understand, that woman is predestined with me!

Xu Qi'an shook his head, did not explain, still concerned about the movement of the carriage.

The ending let Xu Qian disappointed, he saw the window opened a gap, the people inside seemed to examine him.

Too far away, he could not see the dim interior of the car.

The car windows closed quickly and tightly. A few seconds later, the carriage moved slowly, gradually moving away.

It seems that fate has not arrived... Xu Qi'an breathed out: "let's go and meet the host of Qinglong temple."

...

a group of watchmen in bad clothes rushed into the temple and immediately attracted a deacon to receive them.

The deacon was a plump monk with a round face. He was kind-hearted and in his early 40s. He put his hands together: "I'm the prison of Qinglong temple. My name is Hengqing. Please come inside."

He led Xu Qi'an and others into the temple and enthusiastically introduced the history of Qinglong temple. He claimed to be the orthodox heritage of the West. He practiced Mahayana Buddhism in the temple and worshiped the Buddha.

Xu Qi'an's eyes swept the magnificent temples and waved his hand: "call your Abbot out. I have something to ask."

Qinglong temple is the only Buddhist temple in the capital of Dafeng. As the Deacon said, it is inherited from the Western Mahayana Buddhism.

Xu Qi'an had done his homework before he came here. The abbot of Qinglong temple was a master of five temperament. He could beat any of them.

But Xu Qi'an didn't give any advice, because in the early period of Buddhism, he was not good at fighting, except for eight grade martial monks.

The ninth grade of Buddhism is called Shami. This realm is very interesting. The core secret is to keep the precepts. If you don't break the precepts within three years, you can be promoted. At first glance, it's simple, but it's not.

Buddhism's precepts are very strict and complicated. Maybe they will break them unintentionally.

Bapin is a martial monk. He is not very different from martial arts. He is very good at fighting.

The seven grade master and the six grade Zen master behind are not very able to fight, but the five grade master can be regarded as having a qualitative change.

It is worth mentioning that when Xu Qi'an looked up the information in the Yamen archives, he found that the next rank of Jiupin Shami was a mage.

Skip the eight grade monk directly.

There is no reason why it is so urgent. Xu Qian is too lazy to spend time studying the Buddhist system. He only speculates that there may be two completely different paths in the Buddhist system.

"The abbot is meditating. It's inconvenient to disturb him. Some adults have something to say to me." Heng Qing led the people into the teahouse and ordered the monk to offer tea.

"Can there be a magic weapon in the temple to shield the sky watcher's Qi skill?" Xu Qi'an sat on the futon and asked directly.

"What do you mean, my lord?" Heng Qing put his hands together and shook his head: "there is no such magic weapon in the temple."

"Master, monks don't lie." Xu Qian has a sharp eye.

Heng Qing bowed his head, did not look at Xu Qi'an, and said: "what I said is true."

"Is it possible to lie wantonly after you have passed the Jiupin Hermitage?" Xu Qian did not laugh.

Heng Qing hung his head and ignored the cold eyes of the watchmen around him.

Nonviolent and uncooperative? Xu Qi'an is a little angry.
