Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 249: See the evil spirit again?

"Zhao Sicheng, Nie Wangqi."

When Zhao Qi'an arrived at the Observatory, the official on duty in the institution immediately stepped forward to greet him and bowed politely.

The person on duty today is a general from the Astronomical Observatory, his surname is Liu.

In terms of official rank, General Liu was higher than Zhao Qian'an, the sixth-rank temple secretary. However, he was very humble, as if a subordinate was welcoming a superior.

The reason why Zhao Qi'an was able to enjoy such treatment in the Astronomical Patrol was not only because the servants around him were the ones who worshipped the royal flag of the Astronomical Patrol, but more importantly, it was because the national teacher had once made a recommendation.

"If Zhao Qi'an comes to see me in the future, there is no need to inform him, just let him come up."

These were the original words of the National Preceptor, which meant that if Zhao Qian'an wanted to see the National Preceptor, he could do so. Even several generals in the prison could not get such treatment. Now, if Major General Qi, who was in charge of the Astronomical Observatory, wanted to see the National Preceptor, he had to write an application first, then make a report, and only after getting approval could he see him.

Everyone can see at a glance the attitude of the Imperial Master towards Zhao Qi'an. For this reason, the Astronomical Observatory, which had been indifferent to all officials, now has a warm attitude towards Zhao Qi'an.

Zhao Qi'an saluted the visitor and said, "General Liu."

After the greeting, he raised his head and asked, "Is the Imperial Master in prison?"

General Liu shook his head and said, "Zhao Sicheng's arrival is unfortunate. The Imperial Master has been in the palace these days and has not returned to the prison."

Did Shuiyuexian go to the palace?

Zhao Qi'an felt a little regretful, as he had come here today to discuss the matter of Zhao Wuwen becoming his apprentice.

Although he could enter and leave the palace freely, it was not so easy to bring Zhao Wuwen into the palace.

The most important thing is that Zhao Wuwen has a special identity. If she enters the palace, there is no guarantee that some of the old people in the palace will recognize her, and trouble may arise at that time.

Zhao Qi'an had no choice but to say, "Thank you, General Liu. If the Imperial Master returns to inspect the Observatory, please send someone to my house to let me know so that I can come and visit him again."

He habitually reached his hand into his sleeve, but General Liu saw his action and smiled and reached out to stop him: "Zhao Sicheng, there is no need to do this. It's just a small matter. What's more, we are still in prison."

Zhao Qian understood what he meant and nodded, saying, "Then I'll treat General Liu to a drink some other day."

"That's right."

After a few greetings, Zhao Qi'an prepared to say goodbye and leave.

If I can't see the Imperial Master, today's trip will be in vain.

But just as he was about to leave, he turned around and saw a man in white and several officials from the Astronomical Observatory hurrying over.

The man in white was injured and had a gloomy face. He walked past Zhao Qi'an without even looking at him and headed towards the upper level of the Sky Survey Observatory.

General Liu Lang did not stop this, but instead stepped aside and saluted.

Zhao Qi'an also stopped and watched the man in white go upstairs.

Baili Snow White Jade River?

Didn't he go to Jingzhou with General Ling Fang to pacify the Salvation Sect? Why did he suddenly come back?
Zhao Qi'an has been paying close attention to the affairs of Jingzhou these days.

Since Zhao Guanxiang went to Jingzhou, he has uncovered several strongholds of the Salvation Church and captured many members of the Church, making repeated achievements.

But the salvation believers in Jingzhou were like weeds, they could not be completely dug out, and the more they were dug, the more they grew.

Even if Zhao Guanxiang had secretly informed Gong Xinying, it would still be useless. The Savior Cult has three burrows, and even Gong Xinying, the Red Lotus Saint, only knows a little bit of it. It is impossible to wipe out the Savior Cult in the entire Jingzhou.

However, the reason why Zhao Qian'an noticed Bai Yuchuan was that he had a familiar aura.

That... was the aura that Chu Xuan had felt before. Demonic energy!

Zhao Qian'an stood there and pondered for a moment. He had just solved the problem of demonic energy in Chu Xuan's sea of ​​qi not long ago. He was very familiar with this special aura and didn't think he had made a mistake.

He walked to General Liu, looked in the direction of the stairs and asked, "Was that General Bai just now?"

General Liu smiled bitterly and said, "Yes."

"Why is he back? Could it be that the rebellion in Jingzhou has been quelled?"

"It's not that easy." General Liu looked around and when he saw no one was paying attention, he lowered his voice and said, "General Ling has been ordered to quell the rebellion for several months, and His Majesty's birthday is in four days. We have to produce some results to celebrate His Majesty's birthday, right? That's why we asked General Bai to come back."

July 17th is Your Majesty’s birthday.

The longevity banquet is celebrated by all the people.

Now there are only four days left.

No matter whether Jingzhou is still a mess, there should at least be good news of a "great victory".

This is something that anyone with a discerning eye should understand.

Zhao Qi'an said no more and left.

……

On the third floor of the Astronomical Observatory, the door of the duty room was violently pushed open.

Qi Lianzhi had his feet on the table, leaning back in his chair, flipping through a picture book. When he heard the noise, he glanced at the door and snorted, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Are you in a bad mood?"

"Zhao Guanxiang, was it you who asked him to go to Jingzhou?"

Bai Yuchuan came in with a gloomy face, walked directly to Qi Lianzhi, put his hands on his desk, and asked in a low voice.

Qi Lianzhi then sat up, threw the sketchbook in his hand onto the table, and looked up at him: "I asked him to go, so what?"

"Do you know that he caused a huge disaster?"

Bai Yuchuan gritted his teeth, his expression becoming even more ferocious: "He was greedy for merit and reckless, and entered a secret place of the Salvation Sect without permission. General Ling was seriously injured in order to save him!"

Qi Lianzhi put the table aside, glared and scolded: "Don't try to bluff me, do you think I know nothing just because I'm sitting in Kyoto? The two brigade commanders under Guan Xiang have already written to the capital to explain everything. If you hadn't withdrawn your men temporarily, how could he have fallen into such a dangerous situation? How did General Ling get injured?"

"A man of courage but no strategy. Knowing that this is a dangerous place, he should think twice before taking action. He withdrew his men because he did not want to alert the enemy. In the final analysis, it was Zhao Guanxiang who was greedy for merit and acted rashly!"

"Bullshit! When I was fighting in the southwest, I knew the truth that 'once you lose an opportunity, it will never come back'. If you have a 50% chance of success, you should roll up your sleeves and do it. Bullshit, think twice before you act!"

The two started arguing as soon as they met, and the argument was about to turn into a fight.

But in the end, Bai Yuchuan's face turned pale, he covered his chest with his hands, his face full of pain, and finally he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Qi Lianzhi immediately raised his hand: "I didn't touch you, don't blame me."

Bai Yuchuan glared at him but couldn't say anything.

Qi Lianzhi then realized something was wrong, and hurried to support him, helping him sit down on a chair. Then he placed his hand on his back and used his own spiritual energy to heal him.

After a moment, Qi Lianzhi asked in surprise: "What is in your Qi Sea? How come it has occupied your Qi Sea?"

Bai Yuchuan took a long while to even out his breath, opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air, and said with a sullen face: "In the altar that Zhao Guanxiang broke into, there is an evil god of the Salvation Church sealed. If it weren't for the fact that the evil god was in a wrong state, had no reason, and had a broken body, I'm afraid we wouldn't have come back! Do you think Zhao Guanxiang should be punished!"
