Lu Chengfeng took Xie Jiuxiao to meet Cui Anping. Compared with the prefects and the five great families in the five cities, Lu Chengfeng was obviously more familiar with the governor of the local garrison. When Lu Feng was busy fighting, the situation of the five cities was garrisoned by Lu Chengfeng Inspector, and Cui Anping did have an old friend with her. Cui Anping only took up the post of governor of Jiuyuan City four years ago, and Lu Chengfeng also contributed to this.

Lu Chengfeng himself didn't expect that the first old acquaintance he met when he returned to Subei was actually Cui Anping.

More than half of February has passed, but the terrain in Subei is complicated, and the weather is also changeable. After nightfall, it is cold and bone-chilling. The two stood in front of the Governor's Mansion and did not wait for a long time. After a while, there was movement behind them.

The middle-aged man came striding forward. When he saw her, he couldn't help being serious almost instantly, and subconsciously raised his hand: "Young general."

Lu Chengfeng said: "Governor Cui is well."

Hearing Governor Cui's voice, Cui Anping had mixed feelings for a moment: "You are finally back, come into the room to talk."

Lu Chengfeng brought Xie Jiuxiao inside, and the three of them sat in the living room. Cui Anping said, "Anyway, it's good to come back safely. Yanjing has high mountains and long waters, and many news can't be found. Your situation is embarrassing. worry."

Lu Chengfeng took a sip of his tea, and smiled slightly when he heard the words: "Dr. Cui still misses me, so I'm happy."

Cui Anping said: "When you go back to Subei, what are your plans for the next step? Do you still plan to enter the military camp?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "Of course we are going to the barracks, but not right now. I came to find Governor Cui today, and I have something to tell you."

Cui Anping guessed that she would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so she considered her address, now that she is no longer in the army, it is not appropriate to call her a little general, so she said, "Second Miss, please tell me."

Lu Chengfeng put down the teacup and said, "I came here tonight because of the bandits in Jiuyuan City."

Cui Anping nodded, thought for a while and said: "I haven't heard of bandits in Jiuyuan City. I have led people to patrol secretly, and I really didn't find anything unusual. However, there are many bandits in Qingcheng."

Lu Chengfeng said: "I just discovered one place. The bandits disturb the hearts of the people, so we must not stay for long, otherwise other disasters may arise."

Cui Anping said: "What about the second girl?"

Lu Chengfeng said sincerely: "I will not hide from Governor Cui, in fact, I returned to Subei this time to suppress bandits. Subei banditry has been infested for a year, and merchants and people have suffered greatly from it. Among them, the Lu family cannot shirk it." responsibility, which I cannot ignore."

Cui Anping asked doubtfully, "According to the order to suppress the bandits?"

"Exactly."

Cui Anping pondered for a moment, then said, "What do you want?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "I want to borrow a team from the warlord to suppress the bandits."

Cui Anping asked: "Just to suppress the bandits?"

"Just to suppress bandits."

Cui Anping clapped the case and said: "Suppressing the bandits is a good thing! I naturally agree, and I will send a team to the second girl right away."

Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Then thank you, Governor Cui."

After leaving the Governor's Mansion, the two of them walked back. Lu Chengfeng sat in the temporarily rented carriage, thought for a while, and suddenly smiled and said: "You can tell him the truth, he readily agreed to borrow troops from him. Let’s say he’s not good enough, and the borrowed soldiers are only used to suppress bandits.”

Xie Jiuxiao said: "He is also thinking of the people, but he also proved one thing from the side, the five cities in Subei are really scattered now."

Lu Chengfeng was silent for a while, and said, "Fortunately, it's me tonight."

Xie Jiuxiao: "?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "The local garrison is also considered an army. Without a military order, it is not allowed to deploy troops privately. I only need a team of troops. If this matter is replaced by someone else, he will have to suffer a military penalty. .”

Xie Jiuxiao said: "He sent troops to suppress the bandits, isn't it for the good of the people? This also has to be punished?"

"There are many disciplines in the army, but local soldiers are less restrained. But privately transferring troops is a serious crime. If someone is held accountable, they will inevitably be punished. This is a mountain of military orders."

Xie Jiuxiao thought for a while, and said, "Since this is the case, isn't it a great crime for Wei Hongran to send troops to destroy Qizhai you said? Why did you let Cao Nongning go this way?"

Lu Chengfeng laughed lowly and said, "Guess."

Xie Jiuxiao looked at her suspiciously, meditated for a while, and said, "Not enough?"

Lu Chengfeng nodded.

Xie Jiuxiao said: "You want to punish him with death?"

Lu Chengfeng slumped on his lap lazily. She crossed one leg, faced Xie Jiuxiao, closed her eyes and said, "What Wei Hongran has done is no longer qualified to be the governor of Qingcheng. Executing him for a single crime is obviously not convincing to the public, first stabilize him, and deal with him after the matter on Jiuyuan's side is settled."

She closed her eyes to rest, her body was quite stable, Xie Jiuxiao looked down at her, and after a while, silently stroked a strand of hair by her ear.

Lu Chengfeng sighed lightly and said, "Jiuxiao."

Xie Jiuxiao looked at the person: "En?"

"Just now at the inn, why didn't you finish?"

Xie Jiuxiao paused.

Lu Chengfeng opened his eyes and looked into those beautiful eyes.

Xie Jiuxiao didn't speak for a while, and touched her earlobe gently with his hand, before saying: "I just think that what I said may not be right."

Lu Chengfeng said: "What Uncle Hu said still affected you, didn't it?"

Xie Jiuxiao didn't want to be seen through too much by her, so she turned her face away, but she turned her back with one hand: "What are you hiding from? Watch me talk, or do you think I'm difficult..."

The words were covered in his mouth, Xie Jiuxiao looked at her disapprovingly: "Don't say these words."

Although Lu Chengfeng was covered by him, he was not unable to speak, and said: "Then do you think I look good?"

Xie Jiuxiao replied without hesitation: "It looks good."

She stretched out her hand to hook Xie Jiuxiao's neck, pulled him down, and whispered in her ear, "You look good too."

Obviously she can tell people, but she just said it in such a tone, the warm breath rose to her earlobe, as if there was nothing there, as if she was secretly doing something bad, she was getting worse and worse, no matter what. Occasionally tease him.

When Xie Jiuxiao lowered his body, he hugged him subconsciously, and the two of them pressed their chests together. She let go of her hand a little, allowing Xie Jiuxiao to raise his head a little.

Xie Jiuxiao looked at her and said, "Asshole."

"Who bastard?"

"You bastard."

She hooked people with her hands, the car curtain covered everything, and love was caught in her eyes: "Yes, I'm a bastard."

She is obviously such a lonely person, but as soon as she gets close, it seems to bring endless temptations. Everything about her is a temptation to Xie Jiuxiao. Maybe her existence itself is irresistible. Between his lips and teeth, the surging howl swept over every inch of his soul.

He opened his mouth, but finally his forehead was against his forehead, unable to say anything.

Lu Chengfeng stuck to this square inch of intimacy, and said: "My Jiuxiao is the smartest."

Xie Jiuxiao was amused by her words: "Where are you coaxing the children?"

Lu Chengfeng said something silently, he couldn't hear the sound, he could only guess by the shape of his lips, Xie Jiuxiao's gaze changed instantly, staring at her, she had closed her eyes again, and the carriage drove forward steadily.

What an asshole.

he thinks.

Cai Nongning didn't dare to say anything after receiving the news. Almost all of their prefects know Lu Chengfeng and understand her nature. Lu Chengfeng is young and seems to be easy to get along with, but if he does something wrong, he will definitely not be easy to get along with. , she is more scheming and cunning than Lu Feng.

With this big news in her arms, Cai Nongning was anxious all day long, not knowing why she had been staying in Jiuyuan City and not leaving. She suffered from insomnia for several days, and her whole body was haggard.

It wasn't until Lu Chengfeng came to the door the next day that Cai Nongning didn't understand when he heard someone was looking for him, so Pidianpidian came out to greet him personally: "Lord Lu."

Lu Chengfeng smiled at the people: "Cai Zhizhou is well informed."

Cai Nongning smiled mischievously, and welcomed people in: "Master Lu, please come inside."

Lu Chengfeng was not polite, stepped into the house, and found a chair to sit in after entering the living room.

Cai Nongning didn't dare to sit down. In the early years, the governors of the five cities and the warlords were under the control of the Lu family. Later, after the defeat of Subei, the Lu family ceased to exist. Lu Chengfeng has been away for more than a year. Whether it is long or short, she To actually come back with a bigger identity, this is really frightening to death, Cai Nongning hangs by her side: "Master Lu is here today, what orders do you have?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "It's easy to say, I want Cai Zhizhou to go to the Governor's Mansion in Qingcheng personally for me, and send a message to Wei Hongran, asking him to clean up the banditry in Qingcheng in the near future, so don't bother Cai Zhizhou to report To clarify my identity, I just need to tell him that this is the order of the adults sent by Yanjing to suppress the bandits in Subei, and I am not allowed to say anything else, do you understand?"

Cai Nongning didn't know what she was going to buy, so he hesitated and said, "Lord Lu, Wei Hongran may not listen to your words. He is ordered by the army. If you don't directly reveal your identity, he will definitely not listen to things that violate military discipline."

Lu Chengfeng glanced at him, and leaned back with a faint smile: "Are you questioning my words?"

Cai Nongning was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare! I'll go right away! I'll go in person!"

Lu Chengfeng said: "Then you set off right away, by the way, remember, don't come back in a hurry, if Wei Hongran agrees, you stay there for a few days, and after he dispatches troops, find two people to beat the gong A drum yelled in the street, saying that it was the bandits suppressed by Mr. Lu, do you understand?"

Cai Nongning naturally didn't understand what was hidden in it, he thought to himself: Isn't this what it is?Why are you still beating gongs and drums to promote it?
Promote?

Cai Nongning's eyes lit up, and now he found a place to flatter, and hurriedly replied, "I understand! I'll go right away."
