Episode 5

Xu Qian held the sword in his hand, thanked Song Qing and set off on his way home.However, his heart was full of doubts, and he didn't understand why Jian Zheng gave him this sword.Just now he emphasized the pricelessness of alchemy, but in the blink of an eye he easily accepted the teacher's gift. This made him feel a little tacky, and he even had a little disdain for the teacher's words and deeds.At this moment, the sword in his hand seemed to understand his words and suddenly flew towards him. He was so frightened that he quickly begged for mercy and apologized, and finally escaped with his life.

At this moment, two aura figures came towards them, making Xu Qian involuntarily step back and give way.He took a closer look and saw that it was Wei Yuan, the leader of the watchers, and Nangong Qianrou, the female watcher.These two were his big bosses in the capital, and they left a deep impression on him.

On the other side, the eldest princess Huaiqing accidentally heard an ancient poem sung by Yunlu Academy: "Mo Chou has no friends in the future, and no one in the world knows you", and thought this poem was very wonderful.So she specifically asked Zhao Shou, the dean of the academy, who was the author of this poem.Zhao Shou told the truth, saying that the author was a martial artist, which surprised Princess Huaiqing.

On the road leading to Yunlu Academy, Xu Qi'an and Xu New Year were riding on horseback.After learning that she had offended Zhou Xianping, Xu Qian was filled with worry.For the future of the Xu family and the safety of his two underage sisters, he urgently hoped that the teachers at Yunlu Academy would accept them to study.

Zhang Shen and Li Mubai, two great scholars from Yunlu Academy, always loved talents as much as their lives, and warmly welcomed Xu Qian's arrival.When Xu Qi'an explained his intention, the two scholars deliberately said that the matter was quite difficult to handle.However, they are currently writing a collection of poems - "Encouragement to Study". If Xu Qi'an can contribute, they will do their best to help his sister come to the academy to study.Xu Qi'an heard that twenty poems were needed. Although he was troubled, for the safety of his sister, he still racked his brains to complete it.However, he only remembered the first half of the poem, so he gave the twenty incomplete poems to Li Mubai.Li Mubai was a little disappointed when he saw the incomplete poem.But Xu Qian also deliberately revealed that when he comes back from work, he will not disappoint the teacher.Hearing this, Li Mubai turned from anger to joy, and hurriedly bid farewell to Xu Qian, and told him to come back as soon as he was done.

When Xu Qi'an and Xu New Year returned home, they found that they were being followed.Therefore, they asked Xu Pingzhi to be more vigilant in the future.Xu Pingzhi was a martial artist after all, so he immediately ordered his men to take greater precautions.

In the evening, Xu New Year, Xu Qi'an and their uncle Xu Pingzhi got together and checked all the clues they had obtained in the past few days.According to the clues provided by Xu Pingzhi, Zhou Li likes to go to foreign houses and goulan places on weekdays. Recently, he has been particularly fascinated by the oiran girl Fuxiang from Jiaofangsi.Xu Qian felt that Fuxiang girl must know some secrets, so she decided to approach her.However, as a scholar at Yunlu Academy, Xu New Year was obviously not suitable to go to that kind of place.Therefore, this task has to be completed by the young detective Xu Qian.

In order to get close to Miss Fuxiang, Xu Qian specially dressed up and came to Jiaofangsi for the first time.I didn’t expect that there would be a queue here and that you would have to pay a high price to get a seat.Xu Qian, who was short of money, had to go to the streets to find a way.He saw someone winning money by throwing pots, so with his excellent throwing skills, he successfully won a magical small jade mirror.Then, he helped a nobleman throw a pot and hit a string of Bodhi beads, earning 600 taels of silver notes.

After getting the money, Xu Qi'an immediately rushed to Jiaofang Division.Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly met Xu Pingzhi and Xu Xinnian here.Seeing everyone greeting Xu Pingzhi one after another, he knew that his uncle was a regular customer here.
