Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 43 Pay off the debt

Yunlu Academy, Yage

"How come the princess is free today?" Zhao Shou asked while making tea.

Compared to before, the wrinkles between the old man's eyebrows have been smoothed out a lot, and there is a smile on his face.

Huaiqing knew that the dean was calling on her.

She has been too absorbed in business these days.

Huaiqing smiled faintly and said, "It's okay if someone is the boss. The accounts must be handed over to him."

Zhao Shou was stunned.

The eldest princess had never spoken in such a tone before.

anyone?

Are you okay?

Zhao Shou smiled helplessly and agreed, "Wuyang is a bit jumpy, hammering here and hammering there."

"Didn't you say we were going to move back to the academy?" Huaiqing asked again.

She said it casually.

Zhao Shou shook his head. "That day, he gave me and several of his teachers a stove and honeycomb coal. Then he said he would no longer live in the academy and would buy a house on Yongfeng Street."

Huaiqing frowned briefly, then immediately recovered and said seriously, "Since we know he's young, the dean and the teachers should exercise more restraint."

Zhao Shou was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "Although I often say to his teacher that he's always running around here and there, and I don't know what he's doing all day, but I also see that he's really doing practical things, like making honeycomb coal."

Huaiqing lowered his eyes slightly.

After a brief silence, she said, "I came here today for another matter. The Sangpo Festival will be held in two days, and I would like to invite you and the other teachers from the academy to attend the ceremony."

Watching the ceremony is just an excuse.

The court and the country are in such a state. The eldest princess intends to let Yunlu return to the court as soon as possible to eliminate the deep-rooted problems.

But the matter is not the eldest princess's fault.

It has been more than half a month since the meeting at Taiming Lake. If the emperor really wants to use Yunlu, he should give some hints.

But this is not the case.

"Royal Festival."

Zhao Shou said four words and shook his head.

The eldest princess's eyes dimmed a little.

...

Into the night
Xu Qian'an returned to his house exhausted.

It's not the body that is tired, it's the mind that is tired.

Today his life was like a roller coaster, and he hovered on the line of death several times.

Everyone is numb.

The dark and dilapidated house contrasts sharply with the house next to it which is brightly lit and full of laughter.

"Brother Ning Yan."

The moment he closed the gate, a voice suddenly came.

Xu Qian'an immediately put the sword on his waist.

When he came to his senses and recognized the owner of the voice, his grip loosened again.

"I'm fine. Why don't you say something first?" He said speechlessly.

In a corner of the yard, Wei An's figure slowly walked out of the darkness.

The moonlight fell on half of his face, with no expression.

Xu Qian'an immediately guessed Wei An's intention.

"I'm fine. I will explain this matter to Lord Wei, but not today. You don't have to get involved." Xu Qian'an said hurriedly.

"I'm already involved." Wei An said in a light tone.

Xu Qian'an was a little flustered, "You..."

Wei An interrupted him and asked, "Did you really help the villain who assassinated Pingyuan Bo?"

Xu Qian'an became even more nervous and kept saying, "Don't use Confucian magic. I can tell you the inside story, Pingyuan Bo..."

He did not expose the Tiandihui, but said that he was familiar with the thieves, so he helped them.

Wei An's face darkened and he fell into deep thought.

They not only kidnap and abduct children and women, but also practitioners. This gang of prostitutes probably couldn't do it without Ping Yuanbo's support.

After thinking for a while, Wei An said, "I just realized that you like walking on a tightrope. People who take risks are dancing on the edge of a knife. If you are not careful, you will die miserably."

Xu Qian'an was silent.

"This is a big deal. Let someone taller take the responsibility."

Wei An’s words made Xu Qian’an feel relieved.

I was just scared that day.

At the same time, I was confused.

A tall one?
Could it be...

"Hold on."

A clear light appeared in the darkness, quickly becoming stronger, and Wei An disappeared.

Before the clear light had time to dissipate, it became thicker again, and Wei An appeared again.

He grabbed Xu Qian'an's shoulders.

Xu Qian'an only heard him say, "The place where we are standing is the seventh floor of Haoqi Tower."

then…

"How can you be with him?" Wei Yuan's voice sounded.

"Your humble servant greets Lord Wei." Xu Qian'an clasped his fists and bowed his head in greeting.

"We've had some interactions before." Wei An brushed it off, then added, "Brother Ning Yan has something to tell my uncle."

After saying that, he slipped away.

Wei Yuan’s captivating aura pressed down on Xu Qian’an.

The latter immediately bowed again and confessed the truth.

"Tell me first, what can he do to help you?"

Xu Qian'an really didn't expect that Wei Yuan's first question would be this.

"Friendship."

Now that things have come to this, no matter how difficult it is, he has to make it happen.

"Is that so?" Wei Yuan's eyes became even sharper.

Xu Qian'an told Nong Mo that Wei An had once visited his second uncle's house, and Nong Mo described that he had a good relationship with Wei An.

Wei Yuan was silent for a long time, then said solemnly, "You must remember that this matter must not be known to anyone else." "As for number six..."

...

this day
Sitianjian, Observatory

Most of the warlocks went to the Sangpo Festival today.

Those who stay on the seventh floor are all devoted to their research.

Wei An stepped onto the last step and breathed a sigh of relief.

Come to pay off the debt.

"Wei..."

"I'm not running, don't shout." Wei An hurriedly stopped him.

The man looked excited, but tried hard to suppress his emotions.

Wei An walked in slowly. There were many empty workstations, and everyone gathered around Song Qing.

After getting closer, he relied on his height advantage to get a clear view of the situation inside the encirclement.

Song Qing's hair was messy and his cheeks were a little sunken. He put his eyes close to the tube of the mirror and observed something with bated breath.

Wei An glanced at the glass slide on the stage. What kind of flesh and blood tissue was that?
Some of the other sorcerers around seemed to be working on the same topic as Song Qing, while some were not.

Wei An said nothing and waited silently.

After a while, Song Qing slowly straightened up.

"Brother, how are you?"

"Brother, it's my turn. I've been waiting all day."

"Brother, I'll finish my observation quickly, it's my turn."

"... "

There was a huge quarrel and he didn't have a chance to speak this time.

Until Song Qing saw him.

"Master Wei!"

"Master Wei, I have something I don't understand. Could you explain it to me?"

"Master Wei, there are not only Ulva in the bottle, but also some small insects. How did they come into being?"

"... "

There was another buzzing sound.

"Sorcerers are forbidden to speak here." Wei An used his ability directly.

Except for him, everyone present closed their mouths automatically.

It’s a good thing that there is no high-level warlock, otherwise the consumption of literary energy would not be low.

"Come one by one, don't worry, I will stay in this observatory today, don't worry." Wei An glanced around, comforted them, and then withdrew his ability.

The sorcerers looked at each other, and finally Song Qing asked first, "Master Wei, I found that cat meat is made up of various small...

"Cell, a fine, tiny thing, cell, a sac, is called a cell. Have you observed all the organs of a cat?" There was no time to lay the groundwork step by step, so Wei An simply threw out the definition of the term and asked with some surprise.

"Cells, cells, it couldn't be more appropriate." Song Qing repeated it twice in a row, feeling delighted at having acquired new knowledge.

The next moment, he looked ashamed and said, "I haven't checked the internal organs yet."

"It's okay, just continue." Wei An said.

"Yes." Song Qing nodded and said seriously, "I observed another piece of pine wood and found that it is also composed of cells. Why is it that I have tried many times to combine cats with trees, but the result is that they can't survive?"

Wei An thought for a moment and said, "Have you read the classics of the saints?"

Song Qing was stunned.

Is there an answer in the scriptures of the saints?
He suddenly hated his own lack of knowledge.

"The sages' scriptures have long since classified grass and trees as one category, namely plants; and insects, fish, birds, and beasts as one category, namely animals."

"Since you have repeatedly used alchemy to combine cats with trees and animals with plants, but have failed, you should draw three conclusions."

"First, the object of combination is wrong; second, animals and plants cannot be combined; third, you are not capable enough."

"If you look more carefully at the cells of trees, I think you'll have the answer."

Wei An solved the problem quickly.

Song Qing immediately picked up the only microscope, causing the other sorcerers to curse at him.

"Senior Brother Song, how can you monopolize this divine weapon?"

"Brother Song, we agreed that everyone would have a certain amount of time each day. Your time has been used up today."

"Brother Song, please put down the artifact immediately. I still need to consult Master Wei."

"... "

When it comes to the pursuit of truth, Song Qing doesn't care about this accusation. He snorted and said, "I have learned the few words that Master Wei just pointed out. I will teach you later. Don't stop me."

After saying that, he went to the workbench nearby and started working immediately.

Wei An pointed out, "The sample of the object being observed is important, and so is the light."

The latter understood and moved to a workbench with good lighting.

Wei An stopped reminding him and let him try it slowly.

Observing the cell wall with an optical microscope depends on the timing.

"Master Wei, why are there Ulva and insects in the bottle?"

"Did you observe the water in the bottle?"

"No."

"Observe first."

Another solution.

"Master Wei, can you use your Confucian abilities to help me extract the cells from the pus?"

"Pus? Cells in pus?"
