Jin Yiwei starts from Ming Yugong

Chapter 180 Anqing
Anqing!

It took Xia Yan and Luo Xian a day to arrive at Anqing on a fast horse.

Together with Xia Yan, there are Ji Yaohua from Six Doors and Zhui Ming from Shenhou Mansion.

Ji Yaohua's coming here is an opportunity for the gods to enter the palace to ask for it.

Zhuge Zhengwo sent his order to prevent Ji Yaohua and Xia Yan from conflicting.

As for Huo Qilin, Zhu Houzhao insisted on keeping him in Dongchang, and let the people in Dongchang take care of him.

When the Ming army is going to set off, he will ride a fire unicorn to the battlefield.

Xia Yan had no way to stop him, so he stopped persuading and left Huo Qilin in the palace.

Xia Yan stood under the city wall, looking at Anqing's loose city defense, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Anqing is not far from Nanchang, and news of King Ning's rebellion should have reached here.

But here is still so loose and unrestrained, it doesn't look like a wartime state at all.

The Anqing City Defense Officer's level of military governance is poor, and even their vigilance is not good.

The city defense officer needs to be watched or replaced.

After entering the city, Xia Yan bought some gifts, visited the prefect of Anqing, and expressed his intentions to him.

The magistrate of Anqing was also quite comfortable seeing that Xia Yan was not oppressed by the emperor's order.

The two talked and laughed.

By the time Xia Yan left the magistrate's office, it was already after noon
Xia Yan brought gifts and visited the main officials in Anqing city one by one, talked with them and learned about the situation in the city.

Finally, I visited the city defense officers of Anqing to learn about the situation of the city defense of Anqing, and arranged for them to patrol day and night to ensure the safety of the city.

He also asked him to send scouts to inquire about King Ning's news, so that he could know himself and the enemy without losing a hundred battles.

After everything was arranged properly, Xia Yan heard a lot of useful news.

For example, the magistrate doesn't care about the affairs of the army, and the city defense officer is actually a member of the Xie family in Anqing City.

Anqing City also did not receive any news about King Ning's rebellion.

The prefect of Anqing was obviously very dissatisfied with the Xie family, but he had nothing to do with them, so he revealed the matter cryptically.

The children of the aristocratic family read Confucian classics, so naturally they don't understand military affairs.

"Hmph." Luo Xian snorted coldly, "The great masters in the rivers and lakes, most of them are the suzerains of a school, which one is not the existence above ten thousand people."

"Don't you think that by doing this, you lose your status as a great master?"

"The status of a grand master cannot be eaten as a meal." Xia Yan smiled and shook his head, "Most of me are ordinary people."

"I naturally want to live according to the lifestyle of ordinary people."

Ji Yaohua understood the reason why Xia Yan did this. He was afraid that the officials in Anqing would not cooperate, so he deliberately played dirty tricks at the critical period.

This is deadly in times of war!

If Anqing is lost, Xia Yan loses his official affairs, but once the emperor gets angry, he may lose his life!

"That's right, those of us come from all walks of life for our basic necessities, food, housing and transportation. We are also ordinary people, and the status of a master is nothing."

Zhui Ming was deeply touched, and quite agreed, "Your boy has something to do with my temper, if you want my help, just ask."

"Then I won't be polite." Xia Yan recounted his views on the city defense officer.

"This person is unreliable. I want you to help me keep an eye on him. If necessary, bypass him and take over the city defense."

Zhui Ming smiled wryly, "Does this count as digging a hole and burying myself in it?"

"Hahaha." Xia Yan laughed loudly.

Luo Xian was startled, although he was still dissatisfied with the answer, but he looked at Xia Yan with a little more kindness.

"Ji Yaohua, Catcher didn't ask you to make soy sauce." Xia Yan asked with a smile.

"Catching God just asked me to assist you. As for the affairs of Anqing City, I will listen to your arrangements."

Ji Yaohua didn't want to see Xia Yan very much, especially when thinking about what happened last time, she felt that Xia Yan owed herself.

"Listen to me?" Xia Yan raised his eyebrows, showing a smile that men can understand.

"I'm just following your orders on business matters." Ji Yaohua sneered, "I haven't done what you promised me last time!"

"Did An Shigeng come to trouble you while I was away from Beijing?" Xia Yan asked back.

Ji Yaohua was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that An Shigeng hadn't asked her for work for a long time.

My senior sister Ruyan often made excuses to come over, and later stayed by her side and refused to leave.

This time when she left Beijing, she seemed to follow.

It's just that she took a step first, and now she has disappeared.

"You might as well join Jinyiwei. With my current strength, it is more than enough to protect you." Before Xia Yan left Beijing, he had already told Baihu to help take care of Ji Yaohua.

Looking at Ji Yaohua's reaction now, Baihu should have helped her.

"I think six doors are good." Ji Yaohua immediately refused.

An Shigeng is not a good person, and neither is Xia Yan.

Xia Yan didn't force it, and looked at Luoxian, "Is Tianmen involved in this matter?"

"Prince Ning is not qualified, and we will not cooperate with members of the Ming royal family." Luo Xian said calmly.

"Tianmen hates the Ming royal family?" Xia Yan asked suspiciously.

"It's no secret."

"Before Zhu Yuanzhang founded Daming, he received the full support of Cihang Jingzhai and other sects, and defeated Chen Youliang, who was invested by Tianmen. Di Shitian naturally didn't like Daming." Luo Xian didn't shy away, and said directly.

"So there is such a thing." Xia Yan let out a laugh, "Back then Taizu and Jianghu made a grand master, and the master was not allowed to take action on the Xiantian realm. Did Di Shitian participate in it?"

"I don't know. I just remember that when Chen Youliang was defeated, Di Shitian was very angry. The whole world was shaken for a while. It wasn't until he fought Wu Wudi that he returned to Tianshan."

Luo Xian still felt lingering fear when he recalled what happened back then.

When Di Shitian exerted his full strength, it was too terrifying.

But Wu Wudi who can defeat the thousand-year-old monster Di Shitian is even more incredible!

"Wu Wudi is indeed a formidable person."

Xia Yan comprehended the top ten martial arts and the invincible ten directions in Lingyun Grotto, and understood that this person had practiced all ten kinds of martial arts to the extreme.

Afterwards, an invincible killing move evolved from the top ten martial arts.

Whether it is understanding or strength, they are indeed top-notch.

"Do you know this person?" Luo Xian asked.

"I have been friends with each other for a long time, but it is a pity that I have never seen it."

"But you seem to know a little too much, not like the handmaid of the Goddess."

Xia Yan already knew her identity, but just pretended not to know.

Seeing her showing extraordinary features now, he naturally wanted to scare her.

"I just heard the goddess mention this matter." Luo Xian said calmly.

"Hehe." Xia Yan smiled, "I have invited all the officials in Anqing City to dinner tonight, do you want to go together?"

"Hmph." Luo Xian turned around and left.

"I still have things to do." Ji Yaohua also refused.

"I'm interested, Ji Yaohua, let me keep an eye on the city defense officer first, and let me rest for the night." Zhui Ming said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll arrange someone to watch over." Ji Yaohua turned and left.

"Let's go and enjoy it." Zhui Ming said with a smile on his face, wrapping his arms around Xia Yan's shoulders.

"The big battle is coming, you really have to relax."

Xia Yan smiled slightly, and walked towards Yuelai Inn with his life in mind.
