Episode 9

Deep in the earthen kiln, Xu Qian, Caiwei and others accidentally discovered saltpeter used to make explosives.Then, they encountered a powerful monster.Caiwei relied on her rich experience to recognize the beast at a glance.The charm beast looks ferocious, and its whole body is covered with hard scales.Fortunately, everyone was a silver gong level master, and after some cooperation, they were finally able to control the beast.However, just when they thought they could successfully kill the monster, it suddenly pretended to be dead and escaped while everyone relaxed their vigilance.

Worried that the Charming Beast would move reinforcements, Xu Qi'an and others quickly chased them out.Unexpectedly, the charm beast fell to the ground before it could escape far.Naturally, everyone is very happy to have achieved such results after working together for the first time.Seeing that Xu Qi'an was injured, Caiwei gave him the Injury-Replenishing Qi Pill that she had made with her own hands.Xu Qian also generously distributed the pills to several brothers who were traveling with him.

In the earthen kiln, Xu Qi'an finally found the source of the mysterious voice that spoke to him - a small mirror made of jade.He didn't know what kind of magic weapon it was, so he gave this strange thing to Caiwei for safekeeping.

After everyone brought back the killed charm beast, Wei Gong asked Yang Yan and Li Yuchun for their opinions.When Li Yuchun reported the situation, he added that Xu Qian had specially reminded them that the Meizu were now running rampant in the local kilns, causing great trouble to the people.However, if the village is rashly closed, the livelihood of the people will be cut off.Xu Qian also specially asked Li Yuchun to speak more for the people in front of Duke Wei, hoping to petition the emperor to reduce some exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.Li Yuchun has always been prejudiced against Xu Qian, thinking that he was deliberately showing off.But Wei Gong did not think so. Instead, he felt that Xu Qi'an was far-sighted and caring about the people, and persuaded Li Yuchun to put aside his prejudice against Xu Qi'an.

In order to punish Xu Qi'an for talking too much, Li Yuchun asked him to clean the toilets with his companion Yin Luo.Xu Qi'an felt extremely grateful when he saw that his brothers were suffering along with him.After cleaning, he specially invited the other two brothers to go out and relax.Hearing that they wanted to go to Jiaofangsi to listen to music, Xu Qian generously expressed that he would accompany them there in person.

Ever since Xu Qian left a poem in Jiaofangsi, people in Jiaofangsi have never forgotten the name “Yangling”.The maid next to Miss Fuxiang recognized Xu Qian and immediately reported to her master.For several days, Fuxiang did not receive any guests.On this day, everyone saw Fuxiang dressed up and walking straight towards Xu Qian.After hearing Fuxiang call out Xu Qian's name, everyone looked at him with admiration and gathered around him.

Xu Qi'an always thought that he was a person with outstanding fighting ability, but he didn't expect to receive such courtesy here.He reluctantly stood on the stage of Jiaofangsi and composed an impromptu poem for everyone.He noticed that there was a person behind him who had been staring at him. The person seemed to be the eldest princess's maid.In order to express his gratitude to the eldest princess, Xu Qi'an recited a song - Ailian said - which was regarded as borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha.

However, Xu Qi'an recognized the wrong person. The person in the audience was not the maid of the eldest princess but the maid of the second princess Huai'an.Xu Qi'an originally wanted to take this opportunity to flatter him, but he didn't expect that he was flattering the wrong person.When the maid heard that Xu Qi'an was going to give the poem to the eldest princess Huaiqing, she was so angry that she stamped her feet and turned around and left.When Xu Qian returned home, she was still confused about what she had done wrong.

The second princess Huai'an specially called Xu Qi'an to ask him if he was willing to become her disciple.But Xu Qi'an didn't know that the second princess was sitting behind the screen. He wanted to see the eldest princess's grace, so he deliberately gave up and even looked down on the gold presented by the second princess.This move made Huai'an so angry that he walked out from behind the screen.
