There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 735 Heading north to Liao
the next day.

Early in the morning.

Su Xian, Li Qingniu and others had already set off, and a large group of people left Butterfly Valley in a mighty manner. They would cross the mountains and first go to Sifang Restaurant in Yuzhou.

Su Xian's destination was Youzhou, and Li Qingniu's destination was Shendu, so from the beginning, they were divided into two teams.

The more than [-] guards in Butterfly Valley were divided into three teams. One team was led by Zhou Wei, with a total of more than [-] people, guarding Li Qingniu's safety along the way.

The other team is led by Guan Ping, and there are also more than thirty people. They will follow Su Xian and be driven by him. Of course, the main purpose is to protect his safety.

The remaining guards continue to stay in Butterfly Valley to guard against anyone accidentally breaking in.

Two days later.

They finally walked out of the rolling mountains and arrived at the Yangtze River Wharf in Fengdu County.

They boarded the ship and sailed upstream along the Yangtze River. Everything went smoothly. They arrived in Yuzhou on the morning of the third day. After abandoning the ship and landing, they went straight to Sifang Restaurant.

Sifang Restaurant is a huge restaurant with a huge crowd of diners and a lively atmosphere.

When Su Xian stood in front of the restaurant again, while sighing, he suddenly thought of the bearded man who was stationed in the restaurant, the chief arrester of the Prison Department.

A few years ago, the big catcher accepted the emperor's order and went deep into the Shu region to track down the whereabouts of the miracle doctor Li Qingniu. He was indeed so good that he actually found the Sifang Restaurant.

But this is his limit.

He may have noticed through some clues that Sifang Restaurant has some connection with Butterfly Valley, but if he probed further, he would only be confused, otherwise he wouldn't have been trapped here for many years.

Although Su Xian sympathized with the big catcher's plight, he did not intend to tell the truth. The big catcher had been searching for a miracle doctor for several years, but he had actually found it!

Moreover, he was "fooled" into going to the divine capital.

As for the reason, it is because Li Qingniu does not want to reveal his true identity. There is no miracle doctor after leaving Butterfly Valley, only an ordinary doctor...

Su Xian led everyone into the restaurant and took a quick look, but found no sign of the big catcher or his subordinates.

Instead, the restaurant owner came up to him and greeted him warmly: "Oh, Mr. Su, you are finally back. Did your trip go well?"

Su Xian glanced at Li Qingniu beside him and saw that the old man was there with his head slightly raised, not even looking at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper didn't look at Li Qingniu either. They didn't seem to know each other.

Su Xian felt confident and replied with a smile: "It went very smoothly... By the way, please ask the shopkeeper to arrange a room. We will stay in your hotel for one night."

"okay……"

The shopkeeper personally made arrangements, opened a room for them, and booked two large private rooms. The table was filled with good wine and delicious food.

Su Xian took the opportunity to catch the shopkeeper and asked the prison department about the arrest. The shopkeeper bluntly said that the arrester had disappeared for dozens of days and he did not know where he went.

"That's it."

Su Xian nodded. He must have gotten some clues and led his men to investigate.

He stopped thinking about it and turned back to the box. He had a delicious meal. He was really tired from traveling for two consecutive days. Besides, there was still a long mountain road ahead, so he had to eat and drink well.

After the meal, Li Qingniu leisurely went back to his room to rest. Su Xian couldn't wait and took Yan Dashan and the others out, planning to take advantage of this free time to go shopping.

But things didn't work out as they wished. As soon as they came downstairs and walked to the lobby of the restaurant, someone came up to them happily and bowed respectfully:
"Master, I've finally waited for you, Master!"

"who!"

Yan Dashan, Yang Zhilan, and Guan Ping stood in front of Su Xian in an instant.

Su Xian had already seen this person wearing the clothes of a servant, and he looked very kind. He seemed to be... a servant from Tang Ju's house!

"Who are you?" Su Xian gently pushed aside Yan Dashan and others who were blocking the way.

"Young Master..." The man looked around and saw that there were no outsiders around, then he lowered his voice and said, "I came here on the orders of Tang Ju, the governor of Youzhou."

"Let's talk in the house."

Su Xian felt relieved and immediately turned around and went upstairs to his room.

Yan Dashan and others filed in with the young man.

"No wonder I think you have a good face. Are you really from Uncle Shi's house?" Su Xian sat down and looked at the boy carefully. Yan Dashan and others stood behind him, alert and alert to any changes.

"This little man is the deacon in the Tang Dynasty's palace. I want to pay my respects to the Marquis!" The young man bowed deeply and his attitude was very respectful.

"Excuse me, tell me. Uncle Shi sent you thousands of miles away, why exactly?"

"Master Marquis, I have a letter written by the envoy here. Please read it carefully."

"Oh?"

"..."

Su Xian looked solemn as he took Tang Ju's autographed letter and read it immediately.

He doesn't quite understand the current situation in Youzhou and the Liao Kingdom. Tang Ju's letter came at just the right time.

According to the letter, everything is fine in Youzhou and all preparations are sufficient, especially the divine thunder. The divine thunder from Nanchen has been transported to Youzhou and has been properly placed by him.

With so many sharp weapons in his hands, Tang Ju was very relieved, and even vaguely expected the Liao cavalry to go south as soon as possible and win a quick victory.

However, Tang Ju also had a doubt, that is, the divine thunder sent by Nan Chen was too much...

Su Xian smiled slightly when he saw this. He naturally knew that the extra divine thunder was actually secretly arranged by his poisonous lady.

Then there is the situation in the Liao Kingdom in the north. The internal conflicts in the Liao Kingdom are accelerating. Nalanxiong and his son are ambitious and have successfully incited various tribes, which can be said to be menacing.

Tang Ju estimated that in about half a month, the Liao cavalry would march south to invade the border... Tang Ju expressed his concern about Su Xian's plan. After all, time was running out.

Finally, Tang Ju mentioned in the letter that he had secretly arranged for Mrs. Chen, Tang Shuwan, Liu Huixiang and other female dependents to return to the capital for refuge and had arrived safely, so Su Xian was asked not to worry.

When Su Xian saw this, he felt relieved...

After reading the handwritten letter, Su Xian thought about it for a long time, and finally looked up at the young man and said, "I have received the letter. Please return to Youzhou immediately and bring me a few words."

"Master Marquis, please speak, I am all ears," the young man replied.

"You go back and tell Uncle Shi: I have received the letter. That matter has been taken care of. We are preparing to handle the second major matter. Please don't worry, Uncle Shi, and stay in Youzhou with peace of mind. If something cannot be done, you should risk your own life." For want!"

"I understand, I will set off back to Youzhou immediately."

"Well, let's go."

"..."

After the boy left, while Yan Dashan and others were there, Su Xian roughly explained the contents of the letter.

After a little analysis, everyone thought that the situation in the north was not too serious, so they went downstairs to go shopping as originally planned, rested here for one night, and set off north again tomorrow.

Of course, God just won’t let them go shopping——

As soon as they walked out of the restaurant door, they met a little beggar. When the little beggar saw Su Xian, he immediately rushed over and shouted:

"Shut your head! You are indeed hiding here!"

"who!"

Yan Dashan and others reacted quickly and immediately protected Su Xian behind them.

Su Xian's expression was very strange, because he could tell that the little beggar was actually an arrogant girl, and her voice was inexplicably familiar. It seemed to be... Nalan Yan?

Tang Shujing's expression suddenly changed, she glanced at Su Xian with big eyes, and she secretly increased her vigilance.

"It's really you!"

Su Xian gently pushed aside Yan Dashan and the others, observed him closely for a while, and finally saw the true face of the little beggar. Who was Nalan Yan if not Nalan Yan?
……

Sifang Restaurant.

third floor.

Room Tianzi No. [-].

This is Su Xian's room.

Su Xian sat awkwardly on the chair, while Yang Zhilan, Yan Dashan, and Guan Ping stood beside her like bodyguards. Tang Shujing also stood there like a... maid.

Su Xian asked:

"Tell me, as the princess of Liao Kingdom Ruyi, why did you appear in Yuzhou? Can you still find Sifang Restaurant? By the way, why do you call me a coward?"

"You asked me, have you forgotten what we discussed in Ping'an City before?"

Nalan Yan looked very angry. Her disheveled hair covered most of her face, but you could still see her pouting and saying:
"After we returned to the Liao Kingdom, we worked hard to convince our father to agree to the plan... Do you know how difficult it was for you?"

"But you are lucky, you fled to Yuzhou, Shu Kingdom without saying a word, and you left, didn't you shrink..."

"..."

Nalanyan wanted to say "shrunk turtle", but when she saw Yan Dashan, Yang Zhilan, Guan Ping, Tang Shujing and others staring at her fiercely, she immediately felt guilty and changed her words:
"If I hadn't heard about this place from the governor of Youzhou, I really wouldn't have been able to find you!"

"Uncle Shi told you this address?" Su Xian frowned slightly.

"Yes! He didn't want to say it at first, but after all, this matter involves our cooperation and is of great importance. The governor of Youzhou told the princess after some consideration."

"I see……"

Su Xian nodded, looking slightly apologetic, looking at Nalan Yan and said:
"The reason why I went to Yuzhou, Shu Kingdom, was not to escape from anything. If I really wanted to escape, I would not have taken the initiative to discuss that important matter with you."

"Hmph!" Nalanyan thought about it carefully and realized that this indeed made sense, but she still snorted coldly to express her dissatisfaction.

"I came to Yuzhou because I had something very important to do. It happened suddenly, so I didn't say hello to you." Su Xian continued to apologize:

"By the way, how is the progress of your plan? The princess traveled thousands of miles to Yuzhou to find me. You must have completed your mission, right? Have you found the last piece of the treasure map?"

When Nalan Yan heard this, her proud head slowly lowered, and she hesitated: "That...hasn't...yet...hasn't been found!"

"What? A full month has passed, and you haven't found the last treasure map yet?" Su Xian was speechless, and the trace of apology on his face disappeared without a trace.

"Then why did you come all the way to find me?" Su Xian asked again.

Nalanyan said:

"Because the situation is getting worse and worse, Nalanxiong and his son have accelerated the assembly of the army. They will march south in half a month. There is not much time left for us."

"Nalanxiong seems to be particularly 'careful' of you. He once openly said that he will catch you when he marches south this time. He will first lock you in a small dark room, then strip you naked, hang you up and beat you, and finally execute you to death with a thousand cuts." cut."

"In addition, Nalanxiong will also grab your women, beat them with a whip, and then throw them to a long line of soldiers, taking turns..."

"enough!"

Su Xian frowned, snorted coldly, clenched his fists, interrupted Nalanyan's words and made bold words:

"After this is done, I don't care what you do with Nalanxiong and his son, but I will definitely chop them into pieces and feed them to the dogs!"

"..."

Yan Dashan, Nalanyan and the others were stunned when they heard this.

However, everyone was relieved immediately. When things developed to such an extent, the hatred between Su Xian and Nalan Xiong could not be resolved at all. Either you die or I live.

Su Xian continued:
"It seems that the situation in the north is already very critical. We must rush to Liao Kingdom as soon as possible. You all go down and prepare. Let's set off in half an hour."

"it is good."

Yan Dashan, Guan Ping, Tang Shujing and others retreated and made preparations.

In the blink of an eye, only Su Xian, Yang Zhilan and Nalan Yan were left in the room.

"Princess, you have worked hard along the way. It's really good to pretend to be a beggar." Su Xian looked at Nalan Yan and then said:

"However, there is no need to go north for this trip. You'd better take a shower first and change into clean clothes."

"it is good."

Nalanyan turned around and slowly walked towards the door. She looked very embarrassed and confused at this moment, because she did not deliberately dress up as a beggar.

Thinking back to dozens of days ago, when she set off from Youzhou, she actually brought a lot of banknotes with her.

But having lost her aura as a princess, she had no idea about the dangers of the world, and she was soon defrauded of all her money by bad guys...

The majestic Princess Ruyi of Liao Dynasty turned into a beggar. It is really embarrassing to tell it.

She originally wanted to borrow money from Su Xian to buy a change of clothes, but Su Xian said that she deliberately pretended to be a beggar, which made her embarrassed to speak.

Squeak!

The door had been pushed open, and Nalan Yan took a step forward, but the remaining foot could not step out. She was frozen there, and time seemed to freeze at that moment.

"The princess is this?"

Su Xian looked at him suspiciously.

No, it’s just a matter of borrowing money. The princess will return it to him ten times in the future... Nalanyan took a deep breath, made up her mind, kept her posture still, looked back at Su Xian and said:
"My princess didn't bring a change of clothes. In order to rush for time, can you..."

She pursed her lips, but could not say the word "borrow money" after all.

Fortunately, Su Xian understood her needs instantly and said with a hint of teasing:
"I understand, but time is tight now. Going out to buy clothes is really time-consuming. How about I ask Tang Shujing to lend you a set of clothes to wear first?"

"That's okay! I don't mind it, Princess." Nalanyan breathed a sigh of relief and secretly praised that Su Xian was actually pretty good and could understand her difficulties.

"However, Tang Shujing only has maid clothes, which are maid clothes. The princess shouldn't mind, right?" The teasing look on Su Xian's lips completely emerged.

"Go to hell, you are the maid!" Nalanyan was furious and realized that Su Xian was actually entertaining her. Fortunately, she thought Su Xian was good just now.

"Haha, just kidding." Su Xian took a silver ingot from Yang Zhilan's hand, threw it to Nalan Yan, who was breathing heavily with anger, and said with a smile:

"Hurry up and get back!"

"Humph!"

According to Nalanyan's past temper, she didn't care about this little silver at all, but as the saying goes, a penny can beat a hero. She finally took the silver ingot with a proud face, turned around and went downstairs.
