my magic sword system

Qi Changchun took Yan Xuqing, and Yuan Fang found an inn for dinner. The three of them sat down. Qi Changchun looked at Yan Xuqing who looked puzzled and smiled, then picked up the teapot and poured water into the cup in front of him.

"My lord, I still don't understand why we came to Mingzhou?" Yan Xuqing looked at Qi Changchun suspiciously.

"Of course it's because of the murder of the Xiqiang mission." Qi Changchun said while pouring water into Yan Xuqing's cup.

Seeing Qi Changchun pouring water for herself, Yan Xuqing was startled. How could she ask her boss to pour water for herself? He was about to get up to stop Qi Changchun, but Qi Changchun interrupted his actions with his eyes. Yan Xuqing suddenly came to her senses. Now he is not the general of Haitang Guard, but just a mere apprentice.

"But, the mission was killed in Shihechuan on Tianshui Road, and Tianshui Road is to the west of Yong'an City. If you want to solve the case, you should go there. Mingzhou is in the northeast, and the two places are thousands of miles away. What's the relationship?" Yuan Fang asked, this was what she didn't understand the most.

"Miss Yuan is right. It seems that we are here in the opposite direction." Yan Xuqing sat down and said, although she still looked a little embarrassed.

"In my opinion, Tianshui Dao is nothing more than a suspicious soldier, an appearance, not the truth." Qi Changchun said inscrutablely.

"My lord's words are really unpredictable. To tell you the truth, all the ministers in the court think that you will go to Tianshui Road, and you should at least go to investigate the scene." Yan Xuqing said.

"But the first thing I didn't expect was that the emperor sent an adult to sacrifice to the northern capital; the second thing I didn't expect was that when you arrived in Liaoxia, you didn't even enter the city, and you abandoned the brigade and flew to Mingzhou. These days Qing'er's head is about to explode, and she doesn't understand why, my lord?" Yan Xuqing said.

"Miss Yuan, do you still remember the Haitang guard in Fushui County who falsely preached the imperial decree?" Qi Changchun said.

"Remember..." Yuan Fang said.

"Then you shouldn't be surprised." Qi Changchun said.

"Oh~, I remember my lord said at that time that that person spoke with a Mingzhou accent!" Yuan Fang said.

"That's right! Not only him, but also those masked men who hunted us down, also spoke with a Mingzhou accent. Moreover, the mysterious character Li Huo who was once imprisoned in the kiln was also captured in Mingzhou. Therefore, I conclude that Mingzhou must be inextricably linked to this case. That's why I'm here." Qi Changchun said.

Yuan Fang nodded slowly.

"Since our destination is Mingzhou, why does the imperial decree require us to go to Liaoxia to worship?" Yan Xuqing said.

"Don't underestimate our opponents. These people have many hands and eyes, and all our actions are under their supervision. The so-called Liaosha Festival Sweeping is just a kind of blindfold. Divert their attention and catch them off guard," Qi Changchun said.

Yan Xuqing suddenly understood.

"Then what should we do next?" Yan Xuqing said.

Qi Changchun smiled slightly, but before he could speak, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in." Qi Changchun said.

"Several masters, we are exhausted from the journey, wash your face, wash your feet, and relieve your fatigue." The waiter said.

"Little Er, let me ask you something. What happened in the city, why is it so heavily guarded?" Qi Changchun said.

"Why, guest officer, haven't you heard?" the waiter said.

Qi Changchun shook his head.

"Last night, the rioters in the lower village of Da'anmen rioted, broke into the prison, and took away more than a dozen death row inmates." Xiaoer said.

"When I just entered the city, I saw many old people and women tied up on the execution platform at the north gate, so what happened?" Qi Changchun said.

"Hey, don't mention it. After the mob smashed the prison, they all fled into the mountains, and the officers and soldiers didn't catch a single one. In a fit of rage, Mr. Mushou arrested all the old people and women who couldn't run in the village under Da'anmen, and tied them to prison. On the execution platform, a notice was posted saying that if these mobs don’t surrender within three days, they will kill these old people and women. The ones you see tied to the execution platform are these old people and women.” Xiaoer said.

"How unreasonable!" Qi Changchun slapped the table hard after hearing Xiao Er's words.

"That's right, it's a crime!" Xiao Er sighed.

Saying that, Xiao Er quickly walked out of the room and closed the door behind her.

"The shepherd of Mingzhou, the chief official of Fengjiang, didn't know how to support the people for the emperor, but he bullied the old and the weak and neglected human lives. It's no wonder that the country's affairs are not peaceful, and foreign invaders have invaded!" After Xiaoer left, Yuan Fang snorted heavily.

"My lord, we are here for a serious case of the imperial court. I wonder if these trivial matters should be put aside for the time being, and we will go to the district after the case is solved." Yan Xuqing said to Qi Changchun.

"Small matters? Matters of people's livelihood are the most important matters of the imperial court. As the governor of Mingzhou, how can I stand idly by when encountering such injustice?" Yuan Fang stared at Yan Xuqing with lightning-like eyes, and said coldly.

Yan Xuqing looked at Yuan Fang, feeling a little dissatisfied with Yuan Fang, then turned to look at Qi Changchun, immediately realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly said, "My lord, Qing'er is ignorant, my lord forgive me."

"You are not as good as a temple in the army. It's hard to understand why. You can't blame you. Tomorrow, the two of you will go around the countryside near my road. I want to see how Xing Shirong, the shepherd of Mingzhou, is. What is it like here!" Qi Changchun looked at Yan Xuqing and said with a long sigh.

Mingzhou Mushou Mansion.

Xing Shirong, Mushou of Mingzhou, was staring blankly in the study, thinking about what happened recently in his mind.

Suddenly, the door opened with a creak, Wu Yangzi walked in, called 'Master', and handed over the official document in his hand. "The bureaucrats are in a hurry!"

Xing Shirong took the official document and opened it to read it. His face became more and more ugly, and he took two steps back when he got to the back.

"What did you say in the official document?" Seeing this, Wu Yangzi couldn't help asking.

Although Wu Yangzi is Xing Shirong's master, he is not qualified to watch such official documents issued by the officials.

"Qi Changchun was awarded the governor of Mingzhou, and the prime minister for all important military and political affairs in the state will arrive soon!" Xing Shirong said in a daze.

"What? Qi Changchun, isn't he ordered to pay homage to Beidu? Why did he suddenly come to Mingzhou?" Wu Yangzi was taken aback and exclaimed.

"What's going on here?" Xing Shirong asked with a puzzled face and furrowed brows.

"Qi Changchun is a well-known official in the world, and he is extremely meticulous. My lord must be fully prepared." Wu Ziyang said in a deep voice.

"There was a riot in Mingzhou, Xiong Er disappeared, and now Qi Changchun is coming again, this is really worse!" Xing Shirong said worriedly.

……

In the dead of night, in Qi Changchun's room in the inn, Qi Changchun was lying on the bed, already falling into a deep sleep.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed outside the window, and in the blink of an eye, the black shadow had tiptoed to Qi Changchun's bedside.

Under the moonlight shining in from the window, one can faintly see the face of the shadow, this person is wanted by Mingzhou for reward - Xiong Er!
In another room, Yuan Fang and Yan Xuqing opened their eyes almost at the same time.

Yuan Fang winked at Yan Xuqing, who nodded knowingly.

Just as Xiong Er was slowly stretching out his hand like Qi Changchun, there was a loud bang, and the windows flew in all directions. Yuan Fang and Yan Xuqing flew in, and the two swords stabbed at Xiong Er like lightning. The two passed over their heads.
