Xu Qi'an offered the black gold long knife with both hands.

The guard stepped forward to take it and handed it to Emperor Yuan Jing. The latter looked at it carefully and praised: "Good knife!"

Wei Yuan came over and answered with a smile: "The prison is sending it."

Supervisor?Emperor Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows, probably because he didn't understand that Jian Zheng would give a precious knife to a small gong.

"Your Majesty, Xu Qi'an is proficient in alchemy, and has a good friendship with the warlock of Si Tianjian. I once saw him give a lecture to the alchemist." Wei Yuan said casually.

Xu Qi'an saw a look of surprise in Emperor Yuan Jing's eyes, but he quickly restrained himself. The old emperor smiled and said, "I remember, you showed your alchemy skills in the tax and silver case."

Emperor Yuan Jing handed the knife to the guard, and he returned it to Xu Qi'an.

Wei Yuan is helping me shape the image of a capable minister and increase my own weight. Wei Yuan, it's Dad Wei!Xu Qi'an was slightly moved in his heart.

Princess Lin'an shook the emperor's sleeve, and said softly: "Father, Xu Qi'an saved me, you have to reward him."

"It should be rewarded." Emperor Yuan Jing nodded, stared at Xu Qi'an, and said loudly: "Xu Qi'an, the watchman, has contributed to saving Princess Lin'an. He will reward you with a thousand taels of gold and five hundred bolts of silk and satin."

"Father!" Princess Lin'an was unwilling, pointing at Xu Qi'an and said: "He saved my son's life just now, and my son wants to pay him back. I ask you to spare him the death penalty."

Emperor Yuan Jing immediately looked at Xu Qi'an sharply. Seeing his docile appearance with lowered eyebrows, Emperor Yuan Jing restrained the sharpness in his eyes, shook his head and said: "I have already allowed him to perform crimes and make meritorious deeds. If he broke the Sangbo case, he will naturally be spared the death penalty." , Jinkou Yuyan, actually changed halfway."

Lin'an was not convinced, and shouted: "Then if he doesn't solve the case, he is still dead. What's the use of rewarding him with a thousand taels of gold?"

Emperor Yuan Jing said helplessly: "When the time comes, I will handle it at my own discretion."

He didn't want to say these words in front of Xu Qi'an, so that he would be confident and delay the investigation.

So he added: "The time limit is still half a month. If you can solve the case, I will naturally spare you the death penalty. If not, even if Lin'an intercedes, I will not kill you, but I will exile you to the frontier. Do you understand?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xu Qi'an said loudly, he saw Princess Lin'an winking at him playfully, smiling like a flower.

This investment has made a lot of money. Even if I can't find out the mastermind behind the Sangbo case in the end, I don't have to die. At most, I will be exiled. As a slave of three families, I don't have to worry about it at all.

Emperor Yuan Jing glanced at the peaceful and fearless spirit dragon, he was furious, and said angrily: "Drag this beast back to the lake for me."

Linglong glanced at Emperor Yuan Jing, propped up his body with his paws, and slapped his nose hard at Emperor Yuan Jing.

"Okay, go back yourself." Emperor Yuan Jing scolded.

The guards withdrew the big net, and Linglong really went back leisurely by himself.

After Emperor Yuan Jing appeased the second princess, he clamped his horse's belly and followed behind Linglong.

Xu Qi'an silently looked at the back of Emperor Yuan Jing.

Just now when Princess Lin'an pleaded for me, he looked at me sharply, as if he thought I was bewitching and inducing Lin'an?

The rumors are correct, Emperor Yuan Jing is indeed a person with a strong desire to control, and the emperor who longs for longevity has a strong desire for power.

I’m so tired. In front of such powerful masters, I dare not do too many little tricks. Maybe a look or a change in expression will make people guess what’s going on in my heart. Well, my acting skills are still good, and I pretend to be sincere and fearful. good.

By the lake, on a high platform.

Emperor Yuan Jing stood on the bank, talking in a low voice, Linglong poked out a head from the water, and lay his head on the edge of the high platform.

After being alone for a long time, Emperor Yuan Jing left angrily.

Wei Yuan went up to Emperor Yuan Jing, seeing his gloomy face, he comforted him and said, "Your Majesty, why should you be angry with a beast."

"Hmph, this dog is not paying attention to me more and more." Emperor Yuan Jing's anger still persisted, "When I talk to it, I like to ignore it."

Naturally, he didn't ask the reason why Linglong suddenly went crazy.

"Spiritual dragons will not go mad for no reason, Wei Yuan, pass on my will to strengthen the defense of the imperial city. No one is allowed to enter or leave the imperial city after the curfew."

Wei Yuan nodded his head.

Emperor Yuan Jing walked away in silence for a long time, and suddenly said: "Why did that bastard suddenly stop the fire just now?"

Wei Yuan shook his head: "Maybe it's because I lost my temper."

He had a vague guess in his mind, but it was too absurd.

Chapter 1 Xu Qi'an: Auntie, do you want to smack your face with gold or satin?

Xu Qi'an?

If it was said that Xu Qi'an was by Huaiqing's side last time when Linglong lost his temper without warning, then this time, Xu Qi'an was not nearby.

There are other reasons for Linglong's madness, but so many guards can't control it, but it becomes obedient in front of Xu Qi'an.

This doubt flashed in Wei Yuan's mind, and was quickly thrown away.

He checked Xu Qi'an's background, and his resume was clean and unremarkable.It's a bit far-fetched to insist on bringing him and Linglong together.

Linglong's sudden calmness can be explained by "finishing his emotions" or "unwilling to hurt Princess Lin'an".

I'm afraid His Majesty thinks so too.

One monarch and one minister walked slowly in the direction of the palace city without taking a sedan chair. Emperor Yuan Jing suddenly said: "King Zhenbei, he hasn't returned to the capital for some years."

Wei Yuan's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "It's been a while."

Emperor Yuan Jing nodded: "After next spring, call him back, I miss him too."

Xu Qi'an drove through the spacious streets of the inner city, and there were two rows of armored soldiers at the front and rear of the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage was Wei Yuan.

"Wei Gong, what's the matter with the spirit dragon? Such a dangerous beast is kept in the imperial city, isn't it afraid of hurting people?" Xu Qi'an tentatively asked.

Wei Yuan's gentle voice came from the carriage: "Linglong has always been docile, people who are not royals, as long as you don't touch it, you won't be attacked."

"Are there no exceptions?" Xu Qi'an asked casually, trying to keep his tone calm.

After a while, Wei Yuan said quietly, "There are no exceptions."

Xu Qi'an was silent.

After being speechless for a long while, Xu Qi'an said again: "Wei Gong, I found out some things, which made the case even more confusing. I'm a bit uncertain about my humble position."

"Say."

"Bizhi went to Qinglong Temple today and learned a secret. There is a monk in Qinglong Temple with the name of Henghui. More than a year ago, he fell in love with a female pilgrim who often came to the temple, so he stole a piece from Qinglong Temple that can shield The magic weapon of breath, elope hand in hand." Xu Qi'an said:

"That female pilgrim is Princess Pingyang who has been missing for a long time."
