"Two reasons."

Wei Yuan put down the tea cup in his hand and analyzed it for his confidant Yin Luo, saying: "The governor represents the imperial court and has great power. Even if he is the King of Zhenbei, he will be an equal at most. Your Majesty does not want to find a governor to suppress the King of Zhenbei or interfere with

Selfishly, or considering the situation of the war.

"If you appoint a Yinluo as the organizer, there will be no such problem."

Xu Qian frowned: "In this case, wouldn't my hands be tied up in investigating the case?"

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "It's a good job that everyone is vying for. Otherwise, why would the princes in the court recommend you? Three Thousand Miles of Blood Massacre... If the King of Zhenbei lied about the military situation and tried to evade responsibility, the chief official

It’s okay if it can’t be found out, but if it is found out.”

If found out, he would be killed and silenced? Xu Qian felt terrified.

"This is the second reason why the princes recommended you." Wei Yuan said leisurely.

These old silver coins... Wei Gong didn't seem worried at all? Xu Qian quickly asked: "How should I deal with it?"

He has his own ideas on this matter, but he is also willing to listen to the opinions of elders. It is a good habit to be good at taking "advice".

"Honestly and submissively, investigate in secret."

Wei Yuan gave the Eight-Character Mantra and then said: "After you go to the north, remember not to act impulsively, and try not to conflict with the subordinates of King Zhenbei. Showing weakness to the enemy can relax their vigilance.

"If you can investigate secretly, you must not do it openly. If you find evidence that is unfavorable to King Zhenbei, hide it and show it when you return to the capital. If there is an assassination, King Zhenbei will most likely not do it himself. I will ask Yang Yan to accompany you.

Go to.

"Your own strength is not weak, and you have already achieved some success in the Vajra Divine Art, so you don't have to worry about this aspect."

If King Zhenbei takes action himself, no matter how many golden gongs he sends, it will probably not help. Although I don’t know how strong a third-grade martial artist is, there is only one third-grade warrior in the entire court, and there are many fourth-grade ones...

..... Xu Qian nodded and said:

"The humble position also thinks so."

In fact, he is not afraid of being assassinated. What he is afraid of is that the King of Zhenbei will end up personally. When the time comes, he can only risk everything to summon Monk Shenshu. Against a third-grade martial artist, Monk Shenshu will inevitably consume blood essence and blood crazily, and will inevitably kill innocent people.

This is what Xu Qian doesn't want to see.

Moreover, after the incident, he had to go far away and could not return to the court. In this case, the mastermind behind the scenes would be happy...

Wei Yuan continued: "You can control the balance yourself. If the situation is not right, the case can be dropped. After returning to Beijing, you will at most be held accountable."

"I........."

Xu Qi'an was about to speak but stopped when the words "Three Thousand Miles of Blood Massacre" suddenly popped into his mind.

"If this matter is serious, I, I will not give up, I will not turn a blind eye." He whispered, and Xu Qian added:

"But I won't be reckless, Duke Wei, don't worry."

Wei Yuan looked at him for a long time, with admiration and helplessness in his eyes. Finally, it turned into relief and said: "We will set off in three days. Please take this time to prepare."

............

Prince Huai's Mansion.

In the back garden, hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, bees are buzzing and flapping their wings, and they are busy among the flowers. Colorful butterflies are dancing, chasing and playing.

The air was filled with refreshing fragrance. The princess wearing a veil was holding a bamboo basket in her hand, dragging her long skirt, and walking among the flowers.

A cluster of delicate flowers lay in the bamboo basket.

She leaned over and picked off a flower, put it to her nose and sniffed it, her eyes curled up with a look of joy.

It was mid-spring and the princess was wearing a splendid palace dress. Her back had a graceful curve, the ribbon outlined her slender waist, and her shoulders and neck were in the right proportion.

The rolled up green hair has strands hanging down, and the slender neck is looming, crystal white.

Just looking at the back, her figure is stunning. Such a woman, even if her facial features are not absolutely beautiful, can still be regarded as a stunner by men.

Chu Xianglong, wearing light armor, entered the back garden, his scales clanking as he walked.

He stopped, kept a distance that was neither too far nor too close, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty has an order. In three days, the princess will have to go to the north with the investigation team. Please make preparations early."

The princess's curved eyebrows gradually became calmer and colder. She clenched the flower branches with her fists, her knuckles turned white, and said coldly: "Is there anything else? If nothing else, just get out."

Chu Xianglong handed over his hands and turned to leave.

............

Knowing that he was going to the north in three days, Xu Qi'an left the yamen, rode a little mare back home, found Li Miaozhen sitting cross-legged and breathing, and said:

"Can you come with me to Yunlu Academy?"

"No." Li Miaozhen refused with a stone heart.

Hey, you are not a weak woman at all, you have too strong a personality...Xu Qi'an cupped her hand and said, "It's important."

Li Miaozhen looked at her with eyes as clear as a deep pool, waiting for the follow-up.

"Do you still remember the case you discovered? The big case of three thousand miles of bloodshed." Xu Qian approached the room, took off his sword and put it on the table, poured himself a glass of water, and explained:

"The imperial court appointed me as the presiding officer. Three days later, I led a delegation to the northern border to thoroughly investigate the case."

Li Miaozhen suddenly became energetic, changed from sitting cross-legged to sitting upright, and said: "I will go with you."

Alas, the dignified saint of Tianzong is so anxious for justice, I really don’t know if she is committing an evil act... Xu Qi’an muttered: "The imperial court has its own rules. You have no official status and cannot participate in this case.

"Well, you can go ahead and we'll meet in the north and contact each other."

He came to Li Miaozhen to talk about this matter, just to invite the Tianzong Saint to participate. No, he didn't even need to ask. With Li Miaozhen's jealous character, he would definitely ask to participate.

If a fourth-level Taoist is secretly helping you, your chances of solving the case will be greatly increased.

"I have one more request." Li Miaozhen said.

"Please say."

"When you investigate the case, I will be by your side. If I am not present due to other matters, you will have to explain the process and ideas for solving the case to me in detail afterwards." Li Miaozhen said with a serious expression.

She wants to learn to solve crimes from me? Well, she will definitely have to do chivalry in the future. In the process, she will have to eradicate evil and rehabilitate the wronged, so she is eager to learn some reasoning knowledge and criminal investigation skills...Xu Qian

Agreeing to her request, he said with a serious face:

"Okay, one more thing."

Li Miaozhen sat upright and assumed a listening posture.

"When you use the Earth Book fragment to contact me, remember to ask Taoist Jinlian to block other people."

"..." The Tianzong Saint gave him a roll of her eyes.

The two men immediately left the city, one riding a horse and the other flying with a sword.

When he arrived at Qingyun Mountain, Xu Qi'an met with three great scholars. He said with an embarrassed look: "Oh, my students have been exhausted recently and can't think of any good poems. Please forgive me, teachers."

The three great Confucians, wearing Confucian shirts and Confucian crowns, looked at him calmly: "It's okay, is there something wrong?"

Xu Qian coughed and said shamelessly: "Most of the spell books given to me by Master Li and Master Zhang have been consumed, so..."

Most of the "magic books" given to him by Li Mubai and Zhang Shen were low-level spells, among which Si Tianjian's Qi-gazing technique was the most popular.

This is because the great scholars don't have much in stock, and they have to use high-level spells themselves. Moreover, at that time, Xu Qi'an was only practicing in the Qi realm, so giving him too powerful spells actually harmed him.

In the magic book, the most powerful skill is "Speech and Dharma Sui" written by Li Mubai and Zhang Shen, which is an advanced Confucian skill. There are almost no advanced skills from other systems.

The three great scholars looked at him. After a long while, Li Mubai said: "I have been exhausted recently..."

Zhang Shen: "Not feeling well..."

Chen Tai: "Exhausted mentally and physically..."

Everyone who is willing to be prostituted for free was an angel with broken wings in his previous life. The three of you are obviously not... Xu Qian said: "Then I would like to ask three teachers to help me burn the Taoist channeling

Spell."

"Okay!" The three great scholars nodded.

Li Miaozhen frowned and said: "Psychic magic requires the formation of a magic circle."

Zhang Shen waved his hand and said, "Just do it and leave the rest to us."

While he was talking, he took out a book with a brown cover without words and slowly polished it.

When Li Miaozhen saw this, he didn't waste any time. He took out the negative materials from the fragments of the Book of Earth, arranged the formation, and cast Taoist spells.

Inside the house, there was a gloomy wind, as if mid-spring had suddenly entered the depths of winter.

Zhang Shen picked up his pen and started writing on the books. Every time he started writing, he was accompanied by bursts of clear light.

The Soul Gathering Array did not summon souls, which is natural. Ghosts cannot exist in Qingyun Mountain. Under the awe-inspiring righteousness, all ghosts and monsters will be wiped out.

Zhang Shen stopped writing at the right time and said, "That's enough. I've burned twelve photos. Is that enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough..."

While Xu Qian nodded, he lamented that the Confucian system was really cheating. Just like reading a book, you can write down what you read, and what you write down can be written down on paper with a pen.

"I wrote you a few Confucian spells by the way. The sequelae are quite terrifying. You must be aware of them. Don't use them unless absolutely necessary." Zhang Shen said solemnly.

Xu Qi'an happily took the book and asked the doubt that had troubled him for a long time:
To be continued...
