There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 375 Youzhou Guardsman
After coming out of the study, Su Xian rested for a while.

The time to set off has finally arrived.

The carriages and horses were all ready and parked on the turret street in front of the door.

Su Xian took Yan Dashan out, boarded the carriage, and the motorcade set off, slowly disappearing at the end of Jiaolou Street.

Next door, Liu Huixiang's house, second floor.

Liu Huixiang stood silently in front of the window, watching the convoy go away, with a pair of watery eyes filled with water, standing there motionless.

After the convoy completely disappeared from sight, she murmured:
"Young master, you must come back safely! I am at home... waiting for you!"

"..."

at the same time.

Su Xian's home, on the second floor, in front of the window.

Chen Keyan also stood there, watching Su Xian and his party drift away.

She didn't speak, she remained motionless, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

It wasn't until the motorcade disappeared that she turned around and dragged the clattering chains back to her room.

Soon after, Jian'er and Bi'er entered.

They held a nine-ring gold-backed machete in their hands, and said as if they were offering a treasure: "Princess, this is a good knife made of iron. If we try it, we should be able to cut off that damn iron chain."

"it is good!"

Chen Keyan nodded and silently stretched out her legs, with a black iron chain lying on the ground in the middle.

Jian'er grasped the handle of the broadsword with both hands, swung it hard, looked at the right angle, and slashed down with one blow.

Ding!
The sound of metal colliding was like iron being struck.

And a string of sparks appeared, which was extremely dazzling in the daytime.

However, although the broadsword made of iron iron was intact, the iron chain made of meteorite iron also had no damage at all and was not cut off!
Jian'er didn't believe in evil, so he swung the nine-ringed golden-backed machete and slashed with it. It jingled like a blacksmith's shop and sparks kept flying.

In the end, the machete curled blade made of iron and iron, and the iron chain were not damaged at all, not even a trace was left, and they were intact as before.

"That's it!"

Chen Keyan waved her hand to stop it, and said with a frown: "This is an iron chain made of meteorite iron. Unless a weapon made of meteorite iron can be found, it will be impossible to cut it!"

Bi'er said: "We are in Nanchen, and we have a collection of weapons made of meteorite iron, but we can't bring them over, and water from far away can't quench our thirst for near..."

"Let's do it first!"

Chen Keyan quietly put her feet back, no longer fussing, and then told the two maids: "This matter must not be leaked, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Princess, please don't worry, the slaves are very careful."

"..."

It is said that after Su Xian and his party set off, they rushed all the way to Youzhou.

By noon on the third day, they finally arrived outside Youzhou City.

The tall city wall is already visible in the distance, shrouded in mist, like a regular giant mountain, lying in front of it.

Su Xian's trip was to find out the exact location of the hiding place of [-] Liao troops.

Before they arrived, Du Niangzi had already returned to Youzhou, and mobilized more than 200 Anzi and subordinates to start a secret investigation.

It is now clear that the [-] Liao troops are hiding in Youzhou City and are strongly related to dairy products such as cheese. This is the direction.

With the direction, it is much more convenient to investigate secretly.

Of course, Poison Lady and the others are hiding in the dark and can only be regarded as a "surprise force". The "surprise force" alone cannot quickly find the specific location.

It also needs strength on the surface.

One righteousness and one strangeness, all at the same time, the [-] Liao army will have nothing to hide from, and the day when they reveal their true form is not far away!
Su Xian rushed to Youzhou today, just in time to activate the power on the surface.

Just like the last time he arrived, Zhou Ji's office came out to greet him alone this time, without bringing any irrelevant people, including the governor of Youzhou and other government officials.

"Su Wenxue!"

"Weekly Diary Room!"

"..."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Zhou Ji's office invited Su Xian to the city, and said that they had arranged a restaurant where they would stay, and had prepared a banquet to welcome Su Xian.

Su Xian waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Zhou Ji Office. Since we are outside Youzhou City, why not take a detour to see the Youzhou garrison camp."

"Why are you going to the garrison camp?" Zhou Ji's smile faltered and his face looked slightly unnatural.

"..."

Su Xian didn't answer and only exchanged glances with Yan Dashan.

In the past three days, Su Xian and his party, in addition to rushing on the road, also made detailed arrangements for the next plan.

Among them, the Youzhou defenders are an indispensable part.

The Daliang military system is generally divided into two categories: "forbidden army" and "local defenders".

The imperial army, generally stationed inside and outside the capital city, is responsible for the defense of the capital city, the imperial city, and the palace city.

The local garrison is naturally responsible for the garrison affairs of local states and counties. Generally, a garrison camp is set up in one state or several states.

In addition to defending the stability of one side, the local defenders also have responsibilities such as assisting in guarding the city walls, arresting thieves, and providing disaster relief and violence.

However, when it comes to border states, that is, states and counties bordering foreign countries such as Youzhou, Tanzhou, and Jizhou, the situation of the local garrison is different.

They have more power.

The leaders of the border state garrison, such as "Youzhou garrison", "Jizhou garrison", etc., have much greater authority than the garrison generals of other states and counties.

For example, the daily defense of state cities such as garrison, patrol, and security are almost all the responsibility of the local garrison, and the state and county yamen have no right to interfere.

In Bianzhou, "separation of military and political affairs" was truly achieved.

All military affairs are under the control of the local garrison, and they have great power.

In this case, there is a bit of "jiedushi" meaning...

Su Xian wanted to find a hiding place for the [-] Liao troops in Youzhou City, so he would inevitably have to avoid the Youzhou defenders and Youzhou defenders.

Su Xian proposed to take a detour to see the Youzhou garrison camp, just to see the weather of the Youzhou garrison first, so it was considered a drop-in.

On the way, Su Xian invited Zhou Jisong to board the car and asked for information about the Youzhou garrison.

Zhou Jishi looked unnatural, but he said a lot.

Including the Youzhou guard general named "Luo Gan", who had a bad temper and did not like to see the Yamen civil servants, etc.

Soon, the group arrived outside the gate of the Youzhou garrison camp and watched from a distance.

The garrison camp is located two miles west of Youzhou City and covers an extremely large area.

The Youzhou garrison was stationed here, and over the years, many streets and residential areas developed around it, which was bustling with people and quite lively.

Yan Dashan is an expert. After watching from a distance, he nodded and praised:
"It's okay!"

"Go into the city!"

Su Xian lowered the car curtain and ordered to enter the city.

This time was not to enter the camp to meet the hot-tempered Youzhou guard.

Let’s settle down in the city first.

On the way into the city, Zhou Jishi was still riding with Su Xian.

Su Xian took advantage of the situation to inquire about the situation of Youzhou Yamen and learn about public sentiment, government affairs and other information.

Zhou Ji's Office was sent to Youzhou by Li Youqing and held a temporary official position of "Youzhou Observation", which was above the governor of Youzhou. Therefore, Su Xian was not worried about the Yamen at all. If he had any questions, he could just go to Zhou Ji's Office.

Zhou Ji's Office is now the boss in Youzhou's civil service system.

After entering the city and staying at a restaurant, Su Xian already had a preliminary understanding of the situation in Youzhou.

Needless to say, Luo Gan, the guard general of Youzhou, although he had a bad temper, according to the secret observation and verification of Zhou Ji's office, he did not make any mistakes in the face of great right and wrong, and he did not pass Liao.

Then there is the governor of Youzhou. Although Su Xian has never met this person, according to the secret observation and investigation of Zhou Ji's office, there is no big problem with this person.

The Youzhou garrison and Youzhou governor did not know about the disappearance of the Liao army, but there were many people who secretly went to Youzhou to investigate the case. If they had any problems, they would have been taken off their heads long ago.

However, this does not mean that there are no problems in the whole Youzhou.

There are so many subordinate officers and subordinates in the yamen, deputy generals and captains in the garrison camp, and no one can guarantee that they are all innocent...

restaurant.

In Su Xian's room.

After everyone sat around the table and chatted for a long time, Zhou Ji's Office finally woke up and looked at Su Xian and asked in a low voice but excitedly:

"Su Wenxue...could it be found? Is he in Youzhou?"

"Not bad!"

Su Xian didn't say much, just two words were enough.

Zhou Ji's office immediately took a breath of cold air, sitting there in shock and uncertainty, and did not come back to his senses for a long time.

"Zhou Ji Office, please make some arrangements. We will leave the city later and go to the Youzhou garrison camp to meet with the Youzhou garrison general, Luo Gan."

Su Xian said.

When Zhou Ji's office heard this, he frowned and his expression was not very natural, but he also considered and said: "Well, this matter is of great importance. It is indeed time to go and meet Na Luogan for a while."

Su Xian had long noticed that whenever Luo Gan was mentioned, Zhou Jishi's expression became unnatural.

He didn't ask just now, but this time he couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and asked.

Zhou Jishi coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and then said slowly:
"Naluo Gan has a hot temper and is headstrong. He has always looked down upon us and other civil servants..."

"I once visited him, but...Naluo Gan only saw me once. Because I asked about the situation of the defenders, he kicked me out..."

"..."

"Why is this?" Yan Dashan was shocked.

"Yes, Zhou Ji's Office is the 'Youzhou Observation' commissioned by the princess no matter what. How dare Luo Qian'an do this?" Su Xian frowned.

Zhou Jishi replied:
"The situation in Bianzhou is quite complicated, and I can't explain it in just one or two sentences..."

"In addition, there is another important reason: since the disappearance of the Liao army, many people have come to Youzhou to conduct various investigations. It is estimated that Na Luogan has been disturbed many times."

"This man has a bad temper, and he doesn't take us and other civil servants seriously, so once he asks about the situation of the defenders, he will immediately become furious..."

"..."

When Su Xian heard this, he paused, thought about it, and said to Zhou Ji's Office: "Even so, we still have to go and ask Zhou Ji's Office to make arrangements."

"it is good."

The Zhou Ji's office was also very refreshing, got up and said goodbye to make arrangements.

At this time, a maid entered the room and reported that the poisonous lady was outside asking for an audience.

This maid is not a real maid, but a subordinate of the poisonous lady, who works as a liaison with Su Xian.

"You're here just in time, I just want to see her, please come in." Su Xian's expression changed.
