Su Qi'an rushed out of the door, walked around several corridors, and walked out of the back door of Chunfeng Courtyard.
Su Qian's face was calm, but there was a big drop of sweat on his forehead, and he patted his chest.
Fortunately, Su Qi'an left quickly. If he continued to stay, he was afraid something would happen.
"It seems that we will have to come to Chunfeng Court less often in the future." Su Qi'an said secretly in his heart.
After identifying the direction of the inn, Su Qi'an was not far away when suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind him.
"Ah, Mr. Su is here. It's really easy for me to find him. How are you enjoying Mr. Su there?"
Su Qi'an turned around, and behind him was none other than Captain Wang. Judging from his appearance, he must have been looking for him for a long time.
In response to Colonel Wang's teasing, Su Qi'an did not answer, but asked, "I wonder what the Colonel is looking for me for. Could it be that there is something going on?"
Lieutenant Wang waved his hand and said softly, "Hey, Mr. Su was joking. It's nothing serious."
"It's just that someone wants to see Mr. Su." As he spoke, Captain Wang suddenly came over and whispered.
Su Qi'an understood that the captain who could make the captain so solemn must be the big shot in Lingbei County.
Thinking about it, Su Qi'an was able to prosper in Lingbei County. On the one hand, he was talented, and on the other hand, he had the support of experts behind him.
When I first came to Lingbei County, I didn't summon Su Qi'an. Instead, after the county examination, in addition to avoiding suspicion, it was more to test Su Qi'an's ability.
When the time comes, it's normal to meet each other. Having said that, Su Qian is also very curious about this big shot.
"Master Captain, please lead the way."
"Okay, Mr. Su, please come over here."
Colonel Wang smiled and led Su Qi'an the way. Although it was night, the street was extremely lively.
Captain Wang did not take Su Qi'an to the main road this time, but to the alleys.
There were many alleys, and they were twisting and turning. Although it was quiet, with Wang Xiaowei leading the way, nothing happened.
The two walked in the dark alley for almost a quarter of an hour. After passing a corner, there was a wall in front of them with a small door on the wall.
Colonel Wang pushed open the door and entered. Su Qi'an followed quickly and entered the small door. It can be said that there is a unique cave inside.
Rockeries, pavilions, corridors, etc. are arranged in an orderly manner. Walking onto a small bridge, there is a stream under the bridge and various flowers and vegetation are planted around it, which makes it feel quite quiet.
This should also be the Lingbei County Government Office, but it is completely different from the last time I saw it.
"It seems that this Lingbei County government office is really extraordinary." Su Qian sighed.
After walking through the corridor and walking along a gravel road, there is a wide lobby in front of you.
The candlelight was flickering in the lobby, but there were a few people waiting early.
Captain Wang led the way and stopped about ten meters away from the lobby, and made a request to Su Qi'an.
Su Qi'an nodded, and then walked in. With a glance, there were only four people in the lobby.
There were not many people, but the aura exuded by the four of them was intimidating.
These people are all important people, and Su Qi'an also knows a few of them. The one standing on the left is Master Liu, and the one sitting in the middle, looking at his clothes, is Fang Jingzhi, the magistrate of Lingbei County.
On the right is a young man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. To the right of the young man, a masked man stands beside him without saying a word.
"Is that you?" Su Qian just walked in and recognized the masked man at a glance.
This person is none other than the masked man who attacked Su Qi'an in Dongshan Village last time.
Su Qi'an saw at a glance that Tong Zhan did not hide it. He took off his face scarf, stepped forward quickly, and bowed to Su Qi'an with a smile.
"Haha, it's been a long time since I last saw Mr. Su. I really didn't expect that Mr. Su would already be showing off his talents in Lingbei County just a short time ago. Tong Mou admires him."
Su Qian cupped her fists in return, nodded slightly, but looked at the sword-browed young man.
At this time, Fang Jingzhi stood up and greeted Su Qi'an with a smile, "Haha, Lingbei County is really lucky to have such a great talent like Xiao Su."
"Come on, Xiao Su, let me introduce you today. This is Lingdong Hou Xie Cang, and the one next to you is Xie Hou's guard Tong Zhan. It seems that you have known each other before, so I won't introduce you further. .”
Listening to Fang Jingzhi's introduction, Su Qi'an's eyes were a little shocked. It was not that he had never thought that the big man who was secretly helping him had a high status, but he didn't expect that he was actually a marquis.
And looking at such a young age shows that this person is really not simple.
Then again, how could this Lingdong Marquis be extraordinary to have a guard with such superb martial arts?
Su Qi'an was not stupid either. Not long after the introduction, Su Qi'an first offered the other party's hand in a dedicated and polite manner, and then thanked Xie Cang.
"Su is so talented, but he can let Xie Hou help him so much. Su is grateful for this great kindness."
"At the same time, I would like to thank the county magistrate for his help. I will go on a motorcycle to express my gratitude."
After saying that, Su Qi'an bowed respectfully to Fang Jingzhi and Xie Cang.
Su Qi'an's move made Fang Jingzhi quite satisfied. This Su Qi'an was worthy of the name of a talented man.
Not only is he talented, but he is also mentally wise. If it were anyone else, they would be excited when they saw Xie Hou appear, and would probably ignore him as a parent.
What's more, if he wants to hug Xie Cang's thigh immediately, he, the county magistrate, will put it aside.
And this Su Qi'an was excellent at what he did and was a great person, and he really didn't disappoint.
Just because of this, Su Qian and Fang Jingzhi have to help.
Xie Cang nodded, motioned for Su Qi'an to stand up, and said politely, "Hey, Mr. Su doesn't have to be like this. Mr. Su is a very talented man, and he certainly did not disappoint me when I saw him today."
"If Mr. Su doesn't give up, you can call me thank you brother."
As soon as these words came out, not only Su Qi'an was shocked, but also Fang Jingzhi beside him showed a strange expression.
They could see that what Xie Hou said were not polite words, but true feelings.
Being able to meet a marquis and treat him with sincerity is enough to show how much Xie Cang values Su Qi'an.
Su Qian nodded and said repeatedly, "Since the Marquis said so, Su will agree."
"Brother Xie summoned Su today. If you have anything to say, just tell him. As long as Su can do it, he will definitely do it."
Xie Cang treated him with sincerity. Su Qi'an was not the kind of ignorant person, and he said sincerely.
"Haha, I just like Mr. Su's sincerity. To tell the truth, I am here to select talents for the imperial court. I will follow you on expeditions in the future."
"Going to war?" Su Qian looked sideways.
Xie Cang did not explain, but turned his head and glanced at Fang Jingzhi.
Fang Jingzhi said, "Xiao Su, with your intelligence, you should be able to see the unrest in various counties."
Su Qian nodded.
Fang Jingzhi continued, "Daliang was founded 300 years ago. Foreign tribes invaded the frontiers, and bandits and bandits ran rampant inside. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was caused by internal and external troubles."
"Xiehou came to Lingbei County this time to find talents from all over the world, and you, Xiao Su, are the talents Xiehou wants to find."
"There is no need to worry about the security of the county. It can be maintained with my parents and officials. What is dangerous now is the invasion of Da Rong from the north."
"Marquis Xie has been ordered to go on an expedition, so I would like to invite you to go with me."
When Fang Jingzhi said this, Su Qian also realized the seriousness of the matter.
After all, if a dynasty wants long-term peace and stability, sometimes external stability is better than internal troubles.
It is not an exaggeration to say that things like this are top secrets. Fang Jingzhi's ability to inform Su Qi'an is enough to show that he regards Su Qi'an as one of his own.
Even if he was not one of his own, it would be difficult for Su Qian to get off the ship after hearing such military secrets.
Su Qi'an frowned slightly and asked, "May I ask Brother Xie, Fang County, when is the time for the expedition?"
"One month later." This time it was Xie Cang who answered.
"One month?" Su Qian whispered, with obvious hesitation on his face.
It's not that Su Qi'an is greedy for life and afraid of death. Now that he has become Daliang Su Qi'an, he must be responsible.
When foreigners invade, as a citizen of Daliang, we should defend our home and country, but at this time, we are really nervous.
According to Su Qi'an's plan, he would stay in Lingbei County for seven days and wait for the results of the county examination. Regardless of whether he failed in high school or failed, at least he would have an explanation for Qin Ziyin.
After that, Su Qi'an planned to return to Dongshan Village and spend two to three months to manage Dongshan Village well.
No matter what the results will be, Su Qi'an can guarantee that if bandits or bandits come again in the future, they will never come back.
But Xie Cang's request disrupted Su Qi'an's plan.
Although he was very grateful to Xie Cang for his kindness, Su Qi'an would still choose the latter over the safety of Qin Ziyin and others.
Xie Cang could naturally see Su Qi'an's hesitation, but he thought Su Qi'an was unwilling to take risks.
Think about it, if you ask people to follow you to the battlefield with just one sentence of great talent, you may be in danger of losing your life, but you will get nothing by then.
I'm afraid only a fool would do such a wasteful thing.
Xie Cang said quickly, "Mr. Su will accompany me on this expedition, and I will never let my efforts go in vain. When the border troubles are settled, I promise that I will definitely let you get an earl title."
As soon as these words came out, Fang Jingzhi was a little moved. Regardless of the current five-level titles, only marquis and above have real power.
You can get a count. Although he has no real power, he can still move sideways in a county.
As long as he does not commit such a serious crime as treason, an earl must give him some face even if he is the governor of a county.
How many people, even Fang Jingzhi, could only dream of such a reward.
But this generous reward can show the danger of Da Rong's invasion from another aspect.
Regarding Xie Cang's promise, Su Qi'an waved his hand and said, "Brother Xie misunderstood. Su is not a so-called wealthy person. It's just that Su's next time has been arranged, so there is something wrong with this time. conflict."
Su Qi'an did not hide it and informed Xie Cang of his plan. Of course, he omitted the specific training of the Dongshan Village villagers, but instead focused on the Dongzishan bandits who were causing trouble.
After listening to Su Qi'an's explanation, Xie Cang showed a clear expression and chuckled. "Oh, sir, this is what you are worried about. Magistrate Fang, you happen to be here too. Please lend me some soldiers and horses. After the results are released, how about you follow me to suppress the Dongzi Mountain bandits?"
