Chapter 681 The Night of the Full Moon
The next day.

October fifteenth.

Su Xian didn't get up until early in the morning, and he took Yang Zhilan and Yan Dashan to the Youzhou Yamen before he got up early. Tang Ju's new official should need his help when he took office.

But it turned out that he thought too much.

Tang Ju did a great job.

Tang Ju took care of all aspects in an orderly manner, and there was no one who took the lead. Everything went smoothly, and the overall situation of Youzhou was not affected by the change of governor.

Su Xian was very satisfied when he saw this. The potential father-in-law's ability was indeed outstanding.

After experiencing the turmoil of the Liao army and accumulating merit, Su Xian can find a good job for him in the capital of God...

After leaving the Youzhou government office, Su Xian and his party rushed to the "Youzhou garrison camp" outside the city.

Youzhou guard Luo Gan was Yan Dashan's former soldier. Although his temper was a little hot, his character and ability were still good. Su Xian was also very satisfied with him.

Next, Su Xian and his party walked around the city and outside, observing the terrain, checking defenses, checking for leaks and filling gaps, and made rectifications on the spot where problems were found...

It is worth mentioning that while Su Xian was patrolling outside the city, he accidentally met an acquaintance-Tang Shujing!

That's an official road.

The trees along the road have fallen leaves.

Su Xian rides a horse.

Tang Shujing also rode a horse.

The two just ran into each other on the official road, facing each other, with big eyes and small eyes, both of them felt very surprised.

"Second shift leader, have you come to Youzhou to 'protect' me?" Su Xian broke the silence first, talking coquettishly, winking, and grinning from the corner of his mouth to his ears.

"You're talking nonsense!" When Tang Shujing was exposed, her face changed drastically, and she couldn't help but corrected: "I...I came to Youzhou to handle a case!"

"..."

It turned out that after Tang Shujing "received the mission" from her sister, she did not go to Su Xian immediately, nor did she follow Su Xian all the way north.

She knew in her heart that with Yang Zhilan protecting her, Su Xian didn't need her at all, so she kept procrastinating.

However, it cannot be delayed for too long.

If Tang Shuwan found out that she didn't go to Youzhou, then... So, on the second day of Su Xian's departure, she packed her luggage and set off reluctantly.

She originally wanted to sneak into Youzhou City, hide for a while, and then go back to work when Su Xian returned to Yingzhou.

However, who would have thought that on the official road outside Youzhou City, she would bump into Su Xian who was patrolling around... This would be embarrassing.

Yes, her mission when she went north to Youzhou was indeed to protect Su Xian.

But when she saw Su Xian's look of needing a beating, she didn't even think about it and immediately denied that the topic of "protection" was actually Su Xian's mockery of her.

"Huh? What do you call me?" Su Xian's face darkened slightly.

"Brother-in-law!" Tang Shujing was straightforward. She was willing to admit defeat and did not want to get too entangled in this matter.

"..."

Su Xian immediately grinned, as if the word "brother-in-law" made him feel particularly comfortable, and after laughing, he revealed a teasing expression and asked, "Are you really here to handle the case in Youzhou?"

"Of course!"

"That being the case...as your superior officer, I would like to ask, what case did you come to Youzhou to handle?"

"Do...do..."

Tang Shujing really wanted to go crazy, it was just a random reason, but Su Xian was asking the bottom line...

She was very uncomfortable for a while.

"Hahahaha..." Seeing this, Su Xian was very happy. After laughing, he said seriously: "Since you are here, let's stay. The situation in Youzhou is unclear now, and I am short of manpower here."

"it is good……"

Tang Shujing gritted her silver teeth secretly, and forced out the word from between her teeth.

She secretly went north to Youzhou, intending to spend some time in Youzhou City, but...hey, she was amused by Su Xian, and was eventually captured.

……

……

Before sunset and darkening, Su Xian stepped up his inspection of the surrounding areas of Youzhou City and then returned to the city.
The reason why he hurried back to the city was because he still had one top priority to do today——

Take Yang Zhilan to watch the moon and eat moon cakes.

Make up for the regrets of the Mid-Autumn Festival!
Su Xian was very concerned about this matter. Regardless of the dissuasion, he took Liu Huixiang, Yang Zhilan, Yan Dashan, Tang Shujing and others to cook and make mooncakes in person...

In his opinion, this is like the scene of a northern family gathering together to make dumplings in later generations. It is very interesting and can help Yang Zhilan accelerate her integration into ordinary people's lives.

Everyone is very happy.

There was constant laughter and laughter during the process of making mooncakes.

Only Yang Zhilan remained calm-faced and showed no mood swings. It seemed that the current matter had nothing to do with her. She was just kneading the dough mechanically following Su Xian's "orders".

She hesitated several times, trying to find an excuse to escape, silently enduring the huge pain like a sharp knife slicing flesh.

But... Su Xian did not hesitate to cook and make mooncakes for her. Seeing Su Xian's serious, busy and happy look, she really couldn't bear to make Su Xian sad.

However, if he leaves without an excuse, won't he be "revealed" later?
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and even the outline of a full moon appeared on the horizon, and the night of the full moon once a month was about to come, she became more and more entangled and anxious.

Finally, she made up her mind.

She stopped kneading the dough and looked up at Su Xian beside her.

Su Xian seemed to feel something, and turned his head to look, with a smile still lingering on the corner of his mouth.

"My lord, I... feel a little unwell, and I want to..." Before finishing speaking, Yang Zhilan turned around and left. Time was running out, and she still needed to find a suitable place.

"Wait a minute!"

Su Xian had been wary of her escaping. When he saw this, he grabbed her thin arm and said, "Zhilan, you promised me. You can't make excuses anymore."

Yang Zhilan is the number one killer of the internal guards. Although she is thin, she is very strong. Under normal circumstances, Su Xian would not be able to hold her down.

But...she was unwilling to resist Su Xian from the bottom of her heart.

She struggled in her heart and quickly gave up. Su Xian pulled her back helplessly, unable to think of any resistance.

Su Xian pulled her and persuaded her earnestly:

"During the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is a very important custom to enjoy the moon and eat moon cakes with family and friends. Everyone in the world celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival, and you, Zhilan, are no exception."

“This festival only comes once a year, so we can’t let it go to waste!”

"..."

Yang Zhilan finally stayed again.

But the busyness and laughter of Su Xian and the others seemed to her so distant and hazy, as if a century had passed in between...

The Mid-Autumn Festival comes once a year, but does she...do she still have that much time?

During next year's Mid-Autumn Festival, she... I'm afraid she will no longer be alive.

Loneliness, melancholy, loneliness, reluctance and other emotions were intertwined in her heart. For a moment, it was like breaking a spice bottle, with mixed feelings, but she could only bear the pain in her heart silently.

……

In a daze, soon, the mooncakes came out of the pan, very fragrant.

At the same time, night has fallen, it is dark, and a huge full moon hangs high in the night sky. If you look closely, you can even see the shadow on the moon.

Su Xian personally arranged to place a long small table in the courtyard of the inn, with mooncakes, fine wine, various snacks on it, and of course the roasted lamb chops that Yang Zhilan liked to eat.

Su Xian raised a glass, invited everyone to drink together, and said words of blessing, and everyone cheered unanimously.

In a daze, Yang Zhilan also raised a wine glass.

However, at this moment——

Her thin body was shaken suddenly, as if she had been hit by a boulder as big as a millstone. Her brows instantly furrowed, her face was distorted, the wine glass fell from her hand, and she curled up and fell slowly.

"Zhilan!"

When Su Xian saw this scene, he was shocked. A chill came from his spine and went straight to his forehead. He and everyone quickly gathered around him.

Tang Shujing's skills are good, and she is also a woman. She managed to support Yang Zhilan who was in pain, and did not fall to the ground.

The situation at the scene suddenly took a turn for the worse, everyone was in a panic, and the bright moon in the night sky seemed to cast a shadow.

Yang Zhilan's consciousness was blurred for an instant.

Boundless pain came from all directions.

Her internal organs and even her entire body seemed to be being cut by sharp blades. Even if she was as determined as she was, she couldn't bear this level of pain.

At the last moment before her consciousness disappeared, she vaguely heard a voice from outside, which was Su Xian shouting: "...Catch me all the doctors in the city..."

 Thank you "pathology" for rewarding [-] dots, and thank you for your votes!
