Song Tingfeng's voice was a little strange. There was a sense of urgency in his surprise. If he had to describe it, it would probably be: Wife, come out and see God!
It was this tone.
Xu Qi'an put the account book in his arms and went out first. Zhu Guangxiao quickly put on his boots and followed him out.
In the hall of the courier station, a young girl in a light blue outfit sat at the table drinking tea. The tight-fitting clothes outlined the strong figure of a female leopard. Her sleeves were tied up, and her hair was still in a high ponytail.
The unsloppy attire highlighted her elegance and handsomeness.
You're obviously a valiant and heroic American woman … You don't look like the Holy Virgin of the Heavenly Dao Sect … Her master told her to forget her emotions, but in the end, she became a heroine who was eager for justice … Xu Qi 'an complained in his heart, but on the surface, he smiled and said, "General Li, we meet again."
The dark circles under this kid's eyes deepened again … His mental state is not good … His essence must have been sucked by the Mei. Li Miaozhen examined him with a pair of bright eyes and nodded. "Your excellency Xu."
Xu Qi'an sat down opposite her, with Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao on his left and right. The courier came forward to pour tea and then retreated.
Neither of them was in a hurry to speak, each thinking about their own matters.
She must have come for the Mei. After not receiving the Mei's report, she knew something was wrong … Xu Qi'an drank tea and pondered, thinking about how to deal with it.
Return the Mei to her?
He was reluctant. Such a beautiful paper woman was pleasing to the eye. He wanted to bring her to the capital to broaden Lingyin's horizons.
Moreover, the ability to possess was very useful. It was suitable for many situations and environments.
"Sirs …" Li Miaozhen stroked the teacup and said, "Did you see a girl named Susu yesterday?"
Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao looked over.
It's here, it's time for the two brothers to be publicly executed … Xu Qi'an raised the corner of his mouth. "Yes, she has formed an inextricable bond with my two colleagues."
Hearing this, the three of them had different expressions. Song Tingfeng glanced at Zhu Guangxiao and thought to himself, 'It's clearly me who has formed an inextricable fate with him. What does it have to do with Zhu Guangxiao, this enigmatic gourd?'
Li Miaozhen, on the other hand, glanced at the faces of the two gongs with some pity. Judging from what Xu Qi'an had said, Susu must have extracted their essence.
However, she was even more certain that "Mei" was in Xu Qi'an's hands. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such a thing.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. I don't know if you can return her to me," Li Miaozhen said sincerely.
"Plotting to harm an official of the imperial court and obtaining confidential information is a capital offense, General Li." Xu Qi 'an narrowed his eyes and said with a faint smile.
Li Miaozhen looked at him calmly. She didn't explain or get angry, as if she didn't care about the laws of the Daibun at all.
Xu Qi 'an suddenly realized that Number Two was a nationalistic youth. Although she was chivalrous, it couldn't hide the fact that she was a swordsman who used martial arts to break the law. Moreover, she hated the irresponsible Yuanjing Emperor very much.
Most importantly, Number Two was a fifth-grade master. To her, everyone in the room was trash …
'I have to change my attitude …' Xu Qi 'an dispelled the idea of using his power to oppress others and make Susu his own. He laughed out loud.
"However, I'm not the kind of person who won't forgive others. Everything can be discussed. The main thing is that I admire General Li's love. For more than a year, you've been running around everywhere to suppress bandits. Your feelings for the country and the people make me feel ashamed.
"However, I like Miss Susu very much. Can General Li part with her?"
Xu Qi 'an intended to bargain. All otakus knew that they could see but not eat paper wives, but that didn't stop them from loving them.
Li Miaozhen heard this and frowned. "Although Mei is a high-level resentful spirit, they can't live for long unless they keep absorbing essence. In the long run, they will lose their minds and become an uncontrollable monster.
"Only by staying with me can she maintain her original appearance. You're not a Taoist disciple, so you're not proficient in this kind of secret technique. Keeping her by your side will only harm others and yourself."
Her image in reality was very different from her image on the Internet … On the Internet, she was more lively and nationalistic, but in reality, she was more serious … Well, a serious image was suitable for leading the army. This was probably a kind of disguise. Xu Qi 'an said helplessly, "Alright!"
Xu Qi 'an said "wait for a while" and got up to return to his room.
Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng looked at each other with dull expressions … What was a Mei? What was absorbing essence? What were they talking about?
Just now, did they say … Miss Susu?
After a while, Xu Qi 'an returned with a wine pot and put it on the table with a "bang". The three's eyes then fell on the wine pot.
Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao looked confused, but Li Miaozhen squinted her eyes and recognized that the wine pot was engraved with a Taoist Spirit-sealing Talisman.
Xu Qi 'an opened the lid of the pot. The next moment, green smoke floated up from the mouth of the pot and turned into a beautiful and charming woman. She first glared at Xu Qi' an fiercely and said angrily,
"Stinky man, I'm going to starve to death …"
Then she saw Li Miaozhen. Her little face instantly brightened, but she quickly put on a wronged expression and cried,
"Master, you have to help me. This stinky boy bullied me and insulted me. If you came a little later, I would have been pregnant with his bastard child, boohoo … "
Miss Susu … Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng stiffened inch by inch in the low temperature of January.
Bang!
Li Miaozhen put the lid back on the pot and nodded, "Thank you, your excellency Xu, for your magnanimity. I owe you a favor for this. If you have any requests in the future, don't hesitate to ask."
Xu Qi 'an smiled, "General Li, you're too polite."
Number Two's promise was still worth a lot of money. Exchanging a charm that could not be kept by his side for a long time for a promise, it was worth it.
He sent Li Miaozhen away from the courier station and walked to the door, asking, "With General Li's status and cultivation, I don't think you're lacking a charm, right?"
Li Miaozhen deliberated and said, "A charm is not an ordinary ghost. It must be a woman born in a yin year and a yin month, and still a virgin after death. Only then can it be refined into a charm."
What year and month is a yin year and a yin month? Xu Qi 'an smiled and nodded, pretending that he understood.
"However," Li Miaozhen changed the topic and raised the corner of her mouth, "Even if you raise a dog, you'll have feelings, right?"
Xu Qi 'an laughed, and the atmosphere between the two was no longer so stiff and distant.
Li Miaozhen took the opportunity to ask, "Can your excellency Xu accompany me for a while longer?"
Xu Qi 'an replied with a warm smile, "With pleasure."
After saying that, he looked back and saw Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao sitting there motionlessly, their backs lonely and desolate.
"Let's go!" Xu Qi 'an's smile became even more radiant.
Walking along the spacious street, Li Miaozhen carried a silver spear on her back and a long sword at her waist. Her heroic steps were extremely moving.
Xu Qi 'an frequently turned his head to look at this Tenzō Shōnin's appearance. Her temperament always reminded Xu Qi' an of the police beauty that he had a crush on when he was in the police academy.
She had ear-length short hair, beautiful facial features, a clean face, long and straight legs wearing camouflage pants, two voluptuous mounds hidden in a dark green vest, and snow-white breasts.
Compared to the police academy beauty, Xu Qi 'an still felt that Li Miaozhen, who was riding a white horse and holding a silver spear, wearing a scarlet cloak, and wearing a soft armor, was much better.
Li Miaozhen said lightly, "Your excellency Xu, the people of the pugilistic world don't need to be concerned about trifles, but I'm a girl after all. It's too rude of you to stare at me like this."
Bah, this man was really a pervert.
If the impression of a pervert was the first time they met at the banquet, then now, Li Miaozhen's label for Xu Qi 'an had changed to: not a simple pervert.
I feel that it's hard to change the impression of me as a pervert … My reputation is ruined … Xu Qi 'an's smile remained unchanged, "General Li is very similar to an old friend of mine."
Bah! Li Miaozhen scolded in her heart, but she still wore a smile on her face, "This White Emperor City is flourishing, but Your excellency Xu has followed the Inspector all the way here, I'm afraid you've seen a lot of desolation."
"It's really sad."
"Generally speaking, a prefecture's Commanding Officer governs between 20 to 30 guards, but Yunzhou's Commanding Officer governs only 15 guards. Do you know why? "Li Miaozhen asked and answered her own question.
"Because Yunzhou has a small population, and the bandits are serious, so it's impossible to station troops on a large scale. Without troops, how can they suppress bandits?"
According to Daibun's military system, the prefectures below the Commanding Officer had "guards", and each guard had 5,600 soldiers. The prefectures and counties below the prefectures had "guards", and each guard had 1,100 soldiers.
It wasn't that there weren't any prefectures with only 15 guards, but Yunzhou was an area with serious bandits. Logically speaking, there should be more than 25 guards to be considered qualified.
"We only need to open up fertile fields, and the army can farm by themselves. They should be able to be self-sufficient," Xu Qi 'an said.
All prefectures had their own fields, and when the army wasn't fighting, they did the same work as farmers.
Li Miaozhen looked at him, "What about the army's pay?"
… Xu Qi 'an said, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed!"
Now that he thought about it, soldiers had to be paid, and it wasn't enough just to have food to eat. The more soldiers they recruited, the more they had to pay. If they couldn't afford to pay, the army would start a riot. There were many examples like this in the history books.
"I've been in Yunzhou for more than a year, and I've worked with the Commanding Officer Yang Chuannan to suppress bandits more than 20 times, and he did his best every time. I don't believe that such a person would collude with bandits. "Li Miaozhen revealed her true intentions, and looked at Xu Qi 'an with a serious expression.
"Your excellency Xu is an important person in this investigation, and your attitude will determine the Inspector's attitude. I hope you can handle this matter carefully. "
"General Li, you flatter me. I'm just a small gong." Xu Qi 'an appropriately showed a "surprised" look.
Li Miaozhen said frankly, "I've investigated your excellency Xu, and I think I'm quite familiar with you."
For example, you're good at investigating cases, or you have affairs with many top courtesans in the Musical House …
"Your excellency Xu seems to have a cousin who is studying in Yunlu Academy?"
"No. 2 really suspects No. 3's identity … suspects that Erlang is the warm-hearted scholar No. 3 … I might as well use this opportunity to expand the misunderstanding. Anyway, Erlang is in the academy, and No. 2 is in Yunzhou, and they're thousands of miles apart … In this way, I can take advantage of Erlang's" relationship "to win No. 2's trust … Anyway, my identity can't be exposed, and the consequences of social death are too terrible …" Xu Qi 'an said with a smile,
"Yes, Cijiu is an ambitious scholar, and is favored by the great scholars of Yunlu Academy. It is said that he will be trained as an inheritor of the academy."
Trained as an inheritor … No wonder No. 3 knows so much about the layout of Yunlu Academy and those confidential information … Li Miaozhen suddenly nodded and said with a smile,
"Your excellency Xu is also hot-blooded, chivalrous, and courageous."
Her attitude changed obviously, and it seemed that she also had a little good impression of Xu Qi 'an.
"At this time, I want to say: Damn Yuanjing Emperor! No. 2 will have a good impression of me. "
After chatting for a while, the two said goodbye. One continued to move forward, and the other turned back.
Li Miaozhen found a secluded alley, took out the flagon, wiped off the Spirit-sealing Rune, and released Susu. Then, a paper doll popped out and served as an attachment for her.
The paper doll turned into a girl with exquisite makeup, Susu, with a sad face, "Master …"
Li Miaozhen stared at her and asked, "What did you tell him?"
Xu Qi 'an was able to reveal her identity as a Taoist disciple with a single sentence. Obviously, he got the information from Susu.
Susu raised her hand, pinched her little finger with her thumb, and gestured, "Just a little."
"How much is a little?"
"A little is a little."
"Say it!"
"Nothing much. It's just about your identity, age, cultivation, and the fact that you went down the mountain to gain experience …"
“？”
A big question mark appeared in Li Miaozhen's mind.
"Didn't you tell him everything?"
"At least I didn't tell him the day you came to Gui Shui."
"…"
…
Xu Qi 'an returned to the station and saw Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng still sitting there, looking at each other, their eyes full of distrust for each other.
"Why didn't you tell me about you and Susu?"
"You didn't say anything either."
Seeing Xu Qi 'an come back, Song Tingfeng looked at him blankly, "Ning Yan, did you know Susu's identity long ago?"
"I know."
"Then why didn't you tell us?" Zhu Guangxiao said in a deep voice.
"You asked me to keep it a secret." Xu Qi 'an shrugged.
Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao looked at him with eyes full of distrust.
"Then what happened between us and Susu in the teahouse …" Song Tingfeng asked in a low voice.
"It's all your illusion!" Xu Qi 'an answered truthfully.
"Phew …" Both of them breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be just an illusion.
Song Tingfeng smiled with relief, "It's an illusion, then it's nothing. I was just confused and passed out. "
Xu Qi 'an looked at them with pity and shook his head, "You were under an illusion, but you didn't pass out."
"Didn't pass out?" Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng's hearts sank.
Xu Qi 'an came to the pillar and said in a deep voice, "Tingfeng, you were like this at that time …"
He hugged the pillar and madly rammed it.
Song Tingfeng, "…"
"Guangxiao, you were like this …" He came to the table, pressed his hands on the edge of the table, and showed off his waist strength.
Zhu Guangxiao, "…"
"Hey, why did you two go under the table?" After Xu Qi 'an finished, he found that Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng had gone under the table and refused to come out.
"Xu Ningyan, get out of here … Go, please, go, I don't want to see you today." Song Tingfeng squatted under the table, holding his head.
"Hahahaha …"
