Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 142 Zhao Qi'an Cleans Up the Mess

Caught off guard, a huge amount of cultivation was poured into Zhao Qi'an's body.

It starts from the Qi Hai, travels through the meridians throughout the body, and finally falls into the Huang Ting, and is absorbed by the Yuan Tai that is nurtured in the Huang Ting.

The primordial embryo, which was originally an invisible thing, almost condensed into substance.

Purple lines gradually appeared on Zhao Qian'an's skin, forming complex patterns.

At the same time, above his head, the originally cloudless night sky suddenly condensed into a dark cloud, covering the entire health hall.

Zhao Qi'an's expression remained unchanged, but the blood and energy in his Huangting surged, instantly suppressing the restless Yuantai.

In just a moment, all the purple lines on his skin disappeared, and he returned to his normal state.

The dark clouds in the sky also retreated and disappeared.

Zhao Qianan glanced at Master Li beside him, and saw that Master Li was looking up at the sky, muttering, "Strange, these clouds come and go quickly."

Seeing that he didn't notice, Zhao Qi'an didn't bother to explain, but just echoed: "This is what happens in the rainy season."

Master Li also thinks so. In the early summer in Kyoto, the rain comes and goes as it pleases.

Just at this moment, a child suddenly jumped on another child in the martial arts arena, and it seemed that they were really angry during the sparring.

"Lord, I'll go take care of these two little bastards."

"Go."

After Master Li apologized, he hurriedly stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and angrily went towards the two children who were fighting in the martial arts field.

After seeing him leave, Zhao Qi'an opened the panel to check.

【Name: Zhao Guanxiang】

【Bone age: 19】

[Life: The Way of the World is Fair (Gold/Gray), Extraordinary Five Senses (Purple), Understanding Everything After Hearing (Purple), Chivalrous Heart (Purple), Prodigal Son (Green), Revenge for Every Little Misfortune (Gray)...]

【Loyalty: 90】

[Qualification: Class A]

[Cultivation: Fourth-grade Yuantai (damaged)]

It was not until he saw the system panel that Zhao Qi'an was sure that Zhao Guanxiang had truly crossed the chasm of martial arts and become a celestial warrior.

This surprised him a little.

In terms of martial arts aptitude, Zhao Guanxiang is not as good as Zhao Nishang.

The golden entry in his fate, "The Great Way is for the Public", is related to his state of mind, giving Zhao Guanxiang a strong heart that is hardly shaken by external things.

But for this golden entry to work, it has to wait until Zhao Guanxiang is promoted from the third-grade magical power to the second-grade "Creation".

That was when Zhao Guanxiang really shined!

But before that... the golden phrase "The Great Way is for the public" is of no help to the practice of martial arts.

Therefore, it was beyond Zhao Qi'an's expectations that Zhao Guanxiang would break through to the realm of heaven and man before Zhao Nishang.

"But...why did my cultivation suffer after a breakthrough?"

The life-saving item he gave to Zhao Guanxiang was a Ruowu plaque.

If one wants to refine the "Tuo Wu Pai", only a person at the second level of the Creation Realm has the means to do so.

Zhao Qi'an spent a huge amount of money to ask Dean An to refine it, and each of his adopted sons and daughters received one.

The martial arts plaque given to Zhao Guanxiang contained a magical skill called "Controlling the Wind".

After crushing it, you can fly in the air, travel with the help of the wind, and travel a hundred miles in an instant.

Although it cannot be used against the enemy, it is extremely useful for escaping.

Zhao Qi'an knew Zhao Guanxiang's character, and deliberately chose a magical skill that could only save lives for Zhao Guanxiang from the magical skills that Dean An would gather.

Now that I have this life-saving item, my cultivation is still damaged...

When Zhao Qi'an thought of Zhao Guanxiang's temper, he couldn't help but sigh.

……

According to the practice of the past few days, Zhao Qi'an would stay in the health hall until the hour of Xu before leaving.

But today, after he learned the news that Zhao Guanxiang had broken through to the level of a celestial being, he no longer stayed in the Health Hall, but got up and went straight back to the Princess's Mansion.

Sure enough, just as he arrived at the gate of the princess's mansion, Chou Nu was coming out of the mansion in a hurry.

As soon as she saw Zhao Qi'an's carriage, she was overjoyed and hurried forward to stop it: "Stop, stop!"

Zhao Qi'an got off the carriage directly, and the ugly slave hurriedly walked up to him, jumping up and down anxiously and said, "Master, I was just about to go look for you, something terrible has happened!"

She looked anxious and couldn't wait to explain to Zhao Qi'an.

But Zhao Qi'an remained calm and said, "I know, so I'm back, right?"

"what?"

Chounu was stunned for a moment, not understanding how Zhao Qi'an got the news after staying in the health hall for a whole day.

Could it be that my master is really good at predicting things?
She had guessed this a long time ago!
Zhao Qi'an instructed the deaf-mute old servant who was driving the carriage to park the carriage in the backyard, and then followed the ugly slave into the mansion through the main gate.

...When he returned to his own courtyard, Zhao Qi'an soon saw Zhao Guanxiang, who was "as weak as a thread".

To his surprise, Zhao Nishang was also there.

"Father."

As soon as Zhao Nishang saw Zhao Qi'an coming back, she hurriedly stood up and looked at him with anxiety on her face.

Zhao Qi'an walked towards Zhao Guanxiang who was lying on the bed and said to Zhao Nishang, "Tell me about what happened today."

"Yes."

Zhao Nishang did not dare to hide anything. When Zhao Qi'an sat beside the bed and took Zhao Guanxiang's pulse, she stood behind him and told him everything that had happened today in detail.

He even explained clearly how Zhao Guanxiang asked the two priests "Tian Ting" and "Di Wen" to help find the whereabouts of Jiang Liu'er when she was not present, and how he finally found out about Yifeng Imperial Manor.

While she was saying this, she was carefully observing Zhao Qian'an's expression.

But Zhao Qi'an always looked calm. He just stretched out his hand to take Zhao Guanxiang's pulse, which made people doubt whether he was listening or not.

But after Zhao Nishang finished speaking, Zhao Qinan paused for a moment and said, "Send a letter to Song Yizhang, the escort leader of Baitong County in Yuzhou, and ask him to bring his men to Kyoto City as soon as possible."

The Zhao family's business is spread throughout the Daqian Dynasty.

Now that Zhao Qi'an is stationed in Kyoto City, Kyoto Zhaoxing is naturally the center. Business in the south has the Beijing Grand Canal, which provides convenient transportation, and there is no need to worry with the escort of the Owl Guards.

However, most business north of Kyoto City has to be transported by land.

The company that provided escort for the Zhao's company's land-based merchants was none other than the Tianwei Escort Agency run by the escort leader Song Yizhan.

Song Yizhang, a native of Yuzhou, once joined the army and was the deputy of Marquis Weiwu. Later, due to the "Emperor's Arsenal Case", he suddenly killed the eunuchs sent by the East Factory and defected with a team of elite soldiers. Then, with the help of the Zhao family, he changed his identity and opened a security company in Yuzhou to escort the land merchants of the Zhao Company.

The "Tianwei Escort Agency" he opened housed retired soldiers from the Northeast Iron Wolf Guard. They were very powerful, and their individual fighting strength was not much inferior to that of the Owl Guards.

Now, hearing that Zhao Qi'an wanted to transfer Song Yizhang to Beijing, Zhao Nishang was surprised: "Foster father, the north is not peaceful. If we ask Song Biaotou to transfer elite troops to Beijing, what will happen to our business in the north?"

"If you don't invite Song Biaotou to the capital, then kill everyone in Yifeng Royal Farm today."

These light words made Zhao Nishang's face stiffen.

Zhao Guanxiang, who was lying on the bed pretending to be dead, couldn't help but twitch his face.

But fortunately, Zhao Qi'an was just talking.

Killing innocent people should not be done unless it is absolutely necessary.

However, even if Zhao Guanxiang and his sister did a clean job today and the people who were rescued could not recognize Xiaowei, Zhao Qi'an could not keep them, so he would have to let them go.

In this way, the news that there is a mysterious force in Kyoto City will definitely spread like wildfire.

Once someone noticed this, if Zhao Qi'an called on the Xiaowei to take action again, there was no guarantee that they would not be exposed one day.

"Today's matter..." Zhao Qi'an looked at Zhao Guanxiang, who was pretending to be dead on the bed, and said, "Guanxiang asked the escorts from Tianwei Escort Agency to help. Do you understand?"

Zhao Nishang understood everything immediately and understood Zhao Qian'an's concerns. She glared at Zhao Guanxiang, who was lying on the bed pretending to be dead, and said, "It's all this guy's fault. He got carried away and didn't care. It obviously didn't need to cost so much."

Although Yifeng Royal Manor is heavily guarded, it is still essentially a place for entertainment. Even though the conditions for becoming its guest are extremely harsh, there is always a way to sneak in.

Zhao Qi'an was not angry, and said: "Although it was a bit reckless, it is understandable that he was eager to save people."

There are some things that Zhao Guanxiang could think of, but as Zhao Qi'an said, he was so eager to save people that he had no time to "take it slow."

After Zhao Qi'an finished explaining the matter, he said, "Don't rush to let go of the people we rescued today. Take them with you when you report to the Tianjian. Also, find Wang Ping's body and bring it with you."

This time, the Gao family is in big trouble.

He continued, "Keep the two women imprisoned in Yifeng Royal Manor for now and check their identities. If the former Second Prince's Consort's identity is true, I will make other arrangements."

At this moment, he was still focusing on the former Second Prince's wife, and didn't care about the little girl named "Hong Zhao". He just ordered Zhao Nishang to check her identity.

Zhao Nishang didn't think much about it and agreed to all of them.

Zhao Qi'an then arranged some things, such as how to deal with the burned Yifeng Royal Manor, how to clean up the traces of the Xiaowei, and how to deal with the rescued women and Wang Ping's body after they were transported to the Xuntianjian...

Everything is arranged in an orderly manner.

Zhao Guanxiang handled some things too roughly.

But Zhao Qian'an did not blame him and patiently finished the matter for him.

Zhao Guanxiang, who was lying on the bed pretending to be dead, listened to everything and was deeply moved.

The thought that he was pretending to be dead in bed because he was worried about being scolded by his adoptive father made him feel ashamed.

But as he listened more and more, Zhao Guanxiang heard something wrong.

Because my foster father had been giving instructions from beginning to end, but he kept silent about his injuries...

This made Zhao Guanxiang unable to sit still. He narrowed one eye and cautiously reminded: "Foster father, should you...heal me first?"

It was not until this time that Zhao Qi'an stopped communicating with Zhao Nishang.

He lowered his eyes, looked at Zhao Guanxiang, and said expressionlessly: "It can't be saved."

These three words instantly made Zhao Guanxiang's blood run cold.
