Dafeng's Night Squad

Chapter 295

295 Compensation (final chapter of volume) _

After that, a heated discussion began on the matter of Xu Qi ‘an’s title.

After some wrangling, Xu Qi ‘an’s title was decided:In Changle County.

A Viscount!

It could not be inherited.

........

After the small court session ended, the officials dispersed. Wei Yuan walked forward without a word. It was unknown if it was intentional, but his steps were extremely fast. He walked in front of the officials, not letting them see his expression.

“Foster father.”

Nangong qianrou came up to him and was about to ask about the details of the small court meeting, as well as the urgent documents, when he suddenly froze.

Wei Yuan was expressionless, but one could easily read his sadness. There was a deep desolation in his eyes, which had been washed away by time.

Without a word of greeting or even a dagger, Wei Yuan walked over in silence. He walked past Nangong qianrou and continued on his way.

The lower hem of his green robe swayed gently. His back was desolate and lonely.

What had happened ... Nangong qianrou was taken aback. She glanced at the officials behind her and suppressed her urge to test him as she followed Wei Yuan with large strides.

On the way back to the watchman’s Yamen, Nangong Qian endured the pain for a long time. When they were close to the Yamen, she finally asked, ”

“Foster father, what happened?”

In the carriage, Wei Yuan’s low and hoarse voice came, “”Xu Qi ‘an died in the line of duty.”

This ... Nangong qianrou’s expression froze.

He turned his head and looked at the carriage quietly. Even though the door was blocking him, he still slowed down his movements, afraid that Wei Yuan would notice.

The entire Yamen knew that Lord Wei valued Xu Qi ‘an, but only Nangong qianrou and Yang Yan knew that his foster father had Great Expectations for Xu Qi’ an, like a craftsman who had found a perfect piece of unpolished jade.

He loved it so much that he wanted to carve it into an unparalleled Jade. When the Jade was formed, it would shock the world.

Although she didn’t say it out loud, Nangong qianrou knew in her heart that this anticipation and importance had already far surpassed his foster son.

Now that Xu Qi ‘an had died in the line of duty, one could imagine his foster father’s mood ... Nangong qianrou sighed in her heart.

He had thought that he would be secretly happy. Xu Qi ‘an’s appearance had made him jealous and upset. He had thought countless times that it would be great if that guy had never appeared.

My foster father still pays the most attention to me.

Now that she had heard the news of Xu Qi ‘an’s death, Nangong qianrou did not feel happy at all. Instead, she felt lost and her heart was empty.

At this moment, the reins in her hand suddenly fell off. Nangong qianrou was shocked to find that the reins in her palm had been crushed into powder by him.

After returning to the Yamen, Nangong qianrou followed Wei Yuan into the noble Qi building. When they reached the seventh floor, Wei Yuan stopped at the entrance of the tea room and whispered, ”

“You go out first, I want to be alone for a while.”

Nangong qianrou wanted to say something but stopped. She bowed and left, but she did not leave. Instead, she waited outside the tea room.

The tea room was quiet. The afternoon sun shone on the observation deck, which was spacious and bright.

Wei Yuan flipped through the official documents as usual as if nothing had happened. He was still the same great eunuch who did not show his emotions.

The sun gradually moved to the West. The evening sun was orange-red, shining on the clouds in the West as if they were burning.

Wei Yuan didn’t even turn a page of the document in his hand. He sat there for four hours.

Closing the document, Wei Yuan pinched the space between his eyebrows and shouted, “”Qianrou.”

“Father ...” Nangong qianrou entered upon hearing the noise, her delicate face filled with worry.

“Gather all the gongs in the Yamen.” Wei Yuan said.

Nangong qianrou retreated, and not long after, she returned with six golden gongs.

At this moment, Wei Yuan stood in the middle of the tea room with his hands behind his back, silently examining the Golden gong.

“Duke Wei.” The Golden gongs cupped their fists.

Wei Yuan nodded and said slowly,”order all our spies to infiltrate the northeast.” I want to get the map of the southwest border defense by the witch God religion before the beginning of summer at all costs.”

“Lord Wei ...” The Golden gong Zhang Tai was shocked.

The other gongs were equally shocked.

“After the harvest, I’m going to attack the witchcraft cult,” Wei Yuan said.

As expected ... The few of them carefully observed Wei Yuan and finally noticed that there was something wrong with this eunuch. In the past, the Lord of Wei had always been a wise man with a calm attitude that matched his status.

However, the Lord of Wei today was different from the past. His eyes, which were filled with vicissitudes of life, were burning with a sharp edge and fighting spirit.

This kind of fighting spirit and determination was only present during the Battle of Shanhai Pass.

The Golden gongs lowered their heads in unison and gave a formal reply.”As you command.”

The few Jin gongs took their leave and left the noble spirit building. One of the Jin gongs frowned and said, “”I’m afraid the Imperial court won’t start a war easily.”

Nangong qianrou sneered. The Imperial court would not start a war easily, but the witch God church and the northeast countries would. As long as he took the initiative to send the confidential information through a secret channel, he was not afraid that the witchcraft cult would not take the bait.

When the border was invaded, the Emperor and the court would not turn a blind eye to it.

With his foster father’s methods, it was up to his foster father’s willingness to fight against the witchcraft cult, not His Majesty’s.

Zhang Kaitai looked at Nangong qianrou and asked with a frown, “”Did something happen in the court today? Lord Wei is acting a little strange.”

Nangong qianrou nodded and said,”there was an urgent letter from Yunzhou’s Zhang xingying this morning.” Just as foster father had predicted, the clouds Plains has indeed rebelled.”

After a pause, he glanced at the gongs and subconsciously said in a deep voice, “”Xu Qi ‘an died in the line of duty.”

...

All the Golden gongs raised their heads and looked at the noble spirit building.

........

Xu Qi ‘an was still floating on the water.

The one who kidnapped Liang Youping wasn’t the act tough King?
