All Heavens: From Joy of Life to The Great Feng Night Watchman

Page 733

Xu Qi'an, meanwhile, burst into laughter like a pig in an inn.

He didn't know why he was so happy, but he felt that he was not alone in his path.

Lina, you idiot! Go ask Master Jinlian later if the Earth Book fragments have a blacklist function... Xu Qi'an complained bitterly.

A few days later in the morning.

Xu Lingyin shouldered her bag and followed her second brother and teacher Lina onto the deck along the wooden planks extending from the warship.

The three warships carried a total of three thousand soldiers and officers.

The military system of the Great Feng Dynasty was the Weisuo system, which was derived from the Fubing system of the previous Great Zhou Dynasty.

The advantage of the garrison system was that it greatly reduced the country's military expenditure.

Furthermore, by ensuring that troops are dispersed across various continents, it is possible to quickly gather forces to quell rebellions, while also preventing any single general from wielding military power and becoming too powerful.

Therefore, the imperial court only dispatched 3,000 troops from the capital region this time, and the rest of the troops were drawn from other regions.

"Rin, be careful!"

My aunt was shouting at the top of her lungs at the dock: "If you get into trouble, you need help! You need help!"

She originally wanted to say that she should listen to her master more, but then she suddenly remembered that her master might not be as reliable as his disciple.

Uncle Xu hurriedly said, "We need to find a way to contact my elder brother."

Xu Lingyin, carrying a backpack bigger than herself, nodded vigorously: "Mother, I'm going to fight!"

The soldiers and pedestrians on the dock all looked on in astonishment.

The fact that a little kid had sneaked into the warship was already quite conspicuous.

Upon hearing that they were going to fight in a war...

Uncle Xu was shocked and angrily said, "What war are you talking about? You're here to return to your hometown with your master, don't talk nonsense."

The little boy always thought he was going to fight a war.

A series of questioning gazes scrutinized Xu Lingyin from afar.

Xu Pingzhi: "Lingyin, as the younger sister of the Heavenly King's concubine, you must not let everyone down."

In an instant, the questioning and dissatisfied gazes turned into warmth and friendliness.

Oh, it's alright now, it's His Majesty's sister-in-law.

After some entanglement, the master and apprentice were led back to the cabin by Xu Erlang.

When the appointed time came, the warships set sail and embarked on a long voyage.

Xu Xinnian arranged for his younger sister and Lina to stay in the next room, and instructed them:

"Stay in your room, don't wander around, and don't cause trouble."

"Lina, don't eat anything given to you by others, and don't accept the officers' kindness."

Although Lina is a fourth-rank expert, her gluttonous and naive nature means she will definitely be unable to resist some underhanded tactics.

"Mmm!" Lina nodded vigorously.

She was actually not afraid of poison. As a girl who grew up in southern Xinjiang, even though she was not a member of the Poison Gu Clan, her ability to identify and resist poison was still outstanding.

Furthermore, poisons capable of stunning or killing a fourth-rank official are extremely rare and not something an ordinary person could easily obtain.

Lina thought Xu Erlang was a ignorant scholar and there was no need to explain these things to him.

After settling the two female relatives, Xu Erlang returned to his study to study military books and analyze the battle situation in Qingzhou.

On the other side, Lina turned around and took Xu Lingyin out for a stroll, all the way to the deck.

Facing the cold wind, stars shone in the eyes of the master and apprentice.

This was the first time in their lives that they had set sail.

……

One hundred thousand mountains.

Ye Ji served Li Chang'an for a day and a night before he finally left the cave and came to the valley.

He was first drawn by a burst of singing, and saw Xu Qi'an and Miao Youfang carrying wine jugs, singing and dancing with the bird demon Hongying, their hands intertwined, spinning in circles.

Xu Qi'an and Miao Youfang sang erotic songs from the brothels, while Hongying sang folk songs characteristic of southern Xinjiang.

Several enchanting women danced gracefully around the two of them.

Aoki and White Ape sat to the side watching, the latter with a bruised and swollen face, clearly having been severely beaten.

Behind the crowd stood a white-robed sorcerer.

He was of average height, average features, and average demeanor; he was so ordinary that no one noticed his arrival.

Upon noticing Li Chang'an's appearance, everyone immediately looked over, and the singing and dancing stopped.

"Sun Xuanji!" Li Chang'an shouted.

Everyone turned around abruptly, their expressions strange, completely unaware that someone had suddenly appeared behind them.

Sun Xuanji nodded, and a burst of clear light rose from beneath his feet, instantly appearing in front of Li Chang'an.

Senior Brother Sun is an excellent tool, with formidable strength.

The white ape subconsciously scrutinized Sun Xuanji, this powerful stranger, its clear blue eyes piercing through his heart, and slowly said:

"This wise man's heart told me: I happened to be heading south to Qingzhou to help my teacher, so I turned back here."

The journey was too long, I'm exhausted, I was just resting.

Li Chang'an clearly saw that Sun Xuanji's face stiffened, and he stared blankly at Protector Ape.

"This is Protector Yuan, who possesses the innate supernatural ability to see through people's hearts and has cultivated the Buddhist practice of telepathy, which is extremely remarkable."

Li Chang'an immediately introduced Yuan to Sun Xuanji, saying, "Protector Yuan, please come inside with me."

Please translate for me.

Sun Xuanji turned around and gave Yuan Hufa a deep look before following Li Chang'an into the grotto.

His gaze revealed that he had come to regard the monkey as his confidant.

He has a stutter, and the monkeys can speak for him!

Protector Aoki warned, "That's a sorcerer at the Transcendent Realm. Don't speak carelessly, understand?"

Protector Yuan looked back at Protector Qingmu: "But Senior Qingmu's heart tells me: This damned monkey, you'd better continue to speak recklessly and wait to be skinned alive and dismembered."

Aoki Protector's face suddenly turned red, and his grip on the vine cane tightened and loosened repeatedly.

Protector Hongying pretended not to hear and urged, "Hurry up and go in, don't keep Heavenly King Li waiting."

Protector Yuan nodded and entered the grotto.

"This protector is quite interesting," Miao Youfang said, looking at Protector Hongying after witnessing everything that had just happened.

Because he was singing and dancing and had no other thoughts in his mind, Miao Youfang escaped death and did not experience the horror and cruelty of Protector Yuan.

Protector Hongying sighed: "Protector Yuan was a slave in a Buddhist temple since childhood. Later, as he grew older, his innate supernatural powers gradually awakened."

He also unintentionally learned the Buddhist practice of telepathy, and from then on, he was unable to control his abilities.

Miao Youfang suddenly realized: "Then how did he become one of ours?"

In just one hour, he had become one of the demons of the Southern Frontier.

Protector Hongying curled her lips and said, "Later, even the monks in the Buddhist temple couldn't stand him anymore, so they expelled him from the Buddhist order and left him to fend for himself."

Good grief... Xu Qi'an, who was listening from the side, shrank his neck.

Xu Qi'an and Miao Youfang secretly vowed that when facing Protector Yuan, they would keep their minds clear and untainted.

Protector Hongying glanced at him: "Protector Yuan is at the fourth rank, and his innate supernatural abilities are even stronger. Even experts in the Transcendent Realm cannot restrain their thoughts, and he will be able to see through their hearts."

At the fourth rank, aside from the Taoist sects and wizards, almost no other system can shield Protector Yuan's abilities.

Inside the cave.

Li Chang'an told Sun Xuanji the situation in detail, and then asked, "Brother Xuanji, what do you think?"

Sun Xuanji remained silent. Xu Qi'an glanced at Protector Yuan, who understood immediately. His clear, azure eyes fixed on Sun Xuanji, he said:

"This Senior Brother Sun's heart tells me: You take care of dealing with Asura, I'll destroy the formation. I'm not going to do something that's just asking for my life!"

Sun Xuanji panicked and repeatedly said, "Empress, Empress!"

Li Chang'an said for him, "You don't need to say the last sentence."

The white ape guardian nodded.

Li Chang'an continued, "No problem, I'll deal with Asura, and Brother Xuanji will be responsible for breaking the Zen Master's formation."

This arrangement is the most reasonable, with sorcerers breaking the formation, which is a good fit for their profession.

"Brother Xuanji just said he was going to Qingzhou to assist the supervisor?"

Sun Xuanji stood with his hands behind his back, without saying a word.

Protector Yuan said, "The rebels in Yunzhou have launched a full-scale attack on Qingzhou. My teacher, my senior brother, and the Bodhisattva of the Gara Tree are fighting. I wish to go and help them."
