Dafeng Guardian 大奉打更人 Episode 7

The second princess Lin'an almost blew up the Imperial Observatory when she wanted to refine tax silver. Although the process was difficult and even dangerous, Lin'an was very happy. When she returned to the palace and saw her mother, Concubine Chen, she was even more delighted. However, Concubine Chen was conservative and did not agree with women going to the laboratory, saying that they would always be inferior to the prince. Lin'an was saddened by his mother's favoritism.

Xu Qiyan was about to escape when he suddenly met two night watchmen. These two men were obviously well prepared and took Xu Qiyan directly into the carriage. Xu Qiyan was worried, thinking back to how he had brought down Zhou Li. He felt that he had left no evidence of his wrongdoing. Money makes the world go round, so Xu Qiyan quickly took out a silver note and gave it to the night watchman next to him as a bribe. The other party just reminded him, "Don't say what you shouldn't say."

The two night watchmen took Xu Qiyan directly to Lord Yang. Nangong Qianrou was also present. It turned out that when Xu Qiyan was carrying out the whole plan, the night watchmen had seen it clearly in the dark and found that Xu Qiyan had ’s qualifications, so he prepared to take him under his command. Xu Qiyan can choose Lord Yang or Nangong Qianrou as his master. Nangong Qianrou also wants to accept Xu Qiyan as her disciple, so she deliberately approaches him, using both soft and hard tactics. Xu Qian'an is not a soft persimmon either. It was thanks to Yang Yan's care last time that he was able to get out of prison. As a way of repaying his gratitude, Xu Qian'an of course chose to worship Yang Yan as his master.

If he wants to become a real night watchman, he needs to go through several levels of assessment. Two seniors took him to take aptitude tests, one for intelligence and the other for conscience. Xu Qian'an was cynical and didn't take these exam and test questions seriously at all. He answered the first question correctly in just three breaths.

The brothers standing by were all secretly amazed. Some people were proud of taking nine breaths to answer the questions, but 33 actually shortened the time by two thirds. Then he went up three floors without kneeling down. He heard Wei Yuan's order that if he still did not kneel down on the fourth floor, he would be punished by slow slicing. Xu Qiyan was startled and immediately prostrated himself on the ground to perform the ritual of kneeling and worshipping. However, the mirror still showed that Xu Qiyan was standing, which was obviously not humble enough. Xu Qiyan wondered why the mirror treated different people differently.

Wei Yuan asked his men to report on Xu Qian'an's test results. When he heard that he only took three breaths to answer the questions, and that he did not kneel until the fourth level, he was amazed. The short time he took to answer the questions proved that this person was resourceful, and that he was fearless and had nothing to fear. If the bond is cultivated well, he will definitely become a talented general in the future.

Now Xu Qian'an has reached the sixth level. During the sixth level exam, a poem by Wei Yuan was shown. Xu Qian'an saw Wei Yuan's love for power the first time he read it. In fact, as a person who traveled through time, Xu Qian'an didn't care about these things. However, in order to become a night watchman, he had to answer the questions well and carefully figure out the thoughts of the questioner. Xu Qian'an unraveled the mystery and wrote the answers very exquisitely, and finally got a high score of "A+".

Nangong Qianrou admired him very much and wanted to use two silver coins to exchange for Xu Qian'an to be his apprentice, but Yang Xian was determined to get the talent and of course would not let him go. Upon hearing that Xu Qian'an had already gone to the marrow washing pool, he personally went to call his brother-in-law Li Yuchun to give some advice to the newcomer.

Li Yuchun had a very bad impression of Xu Qiyan at the beginning, but for the sake of face, he had to go with Yang Xian to take a look. It originally took a whole day to cultivate the Qi realm, but unexpectedly, Xu Qiyan succeeded in less than an hour!
