Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 213
Hearing that there was movement in Guo Su's room, Shen Xiniang flew down and entered the room while no one was paying attention.

Guo Su, who was still a little disheveled, was taken aback, "Morning, sir!"

Shen Xinniang nodded, "In order to avoid passing the sentence, it is inconvenient for me to appear as someone appointed by the prince. Prefect Guo should think of an identity for me."

Guo Su was slightly taken aback, and nodded again and again, "Yes, Mr. Lang is more thoughtful. Then, why should Mr. Wang be wronged by lying that he is Guo's cousin?"

Shen Xinniang cupped her hands, "Okay."

After speaking, his figure flickered and disappeared into the house.

Guo Su stared, he didn't even see how the gentleman got out of the room, this gentleman looks so young, but he is so powerful!He couldn't help but feel some strength in his heart. Prince Qi can attract such talented people to work for him, so he doesn't worry that he won't be able to completely eradicate Uncle Yu and the power of the Yu clan!

Guo Su clenched his fists. Although he couldn't sleep peacefully all night, he suddenly felt vigorous strength in his tired body.

In the time for breakfast, I heard that the servant came to report that his cousin from his hometown was passing by Jinyang and came to visit.

Guo Su rushed out to greet him, and sure enough, he saw the extremely handsome young man had changed his clothes, and was led forward by his servants, looking like he was fleeing to his relatives.

Guo Su was about to bow his hands in salute immediately, but Shen Xiniang stared at him to stop him.

"Cousin—" Shen Xinniang cupped her hands and reminded her.

"Oh, oh, cousin, you've come all the way, you've worked hard!" Guo Su finally found the feeling of being a cousin, "Haven't you had breakfast yet? Go, go and add a table."

Guo Su ordered his servants to prepare and dismiss the people around him, and then bowed his hands to Shen Xiniang, "Your Majesty has been wronged!"

"My lord, you don't have to be polite. If you really treat me as a cousin, you won't be suspected in front of others." Shen Xinniang said indifferently, but she didn't feel much about this grievance.

After breakfast at the prefect's mansion, she has always been with the prefect as a cousin.In order to protect Guo Su's safety.

Tijutsu is the military officer in the county.

"The surname of Jinyang is Chen, and he lives in Yuzhen. Since the prince has written a letter to him, he must be a trustworthy person." Guo Su and Shen Xinniang walked one after the other in the corridor leading to Qiantou County Mansion, whispering, " Then in front of Chen Tiha, there is no need to hide it, right?"

Shen Xinniang nodded slowly.

Guo Su was talking, and his footsteps had already reached the outer courtyard.

The outer courtyard is the county mansion where administrative offices are located. A short man with a fair face stepped forward with concern on his face, cupped his hands and said, "I heard that there was a thief at the eunuch's house last night? Is the eunuch injured?"

After speaking, his eyes circled around Shen Xiniang's face.

Shen Xiniang looked at him blankly, cupped her hands, and looked away.

"Who is this?" The man looked at Shen Xinniang and asked.

"Oh, this is my cousin from my hometown," Guo Su said, then turned to Shen Xiniang and said, "Zhiyuan, this is He Tongpan."

The word Tongpan was very clear. Shen Xinniang took a look at He Tongpan, then cupped her hands and said, "Master Tongpan is polite. Your Excellency said you met a thief, what's going on?"

While speaking, she had just the right amount of surprise and curiosity on her face.

"Why, isn't this going to happen? I heard rumors in the house when I first came here..." The judge looked at the expressions of Guo Su and Shen Xiniang.

Guo Su turned cold, "Don't misunderstand nonsense, let's talk about this later!"

"The lower officials only care about the prefect, if you care about it, you will be in chaos." He Tongjuan said.

"Then I would like to thank Tong San for his concern," Guo Su said in a bad tone, "But how can I see that Tong San has no concern on his face, but is more curious and happy? Is He Tong San hoping that I will get hurt?"

He Tongpan immediately looked aggrieved when he heard the words, "Why did your lord speak like this? The world can learn from it. When I came to the mansion, I heard that your lord was in danger last night, so I hoped to wait here. I just hope that your lord will not have any accidents. How can my sincere heart be misunderstood so far by my lord? What kind of prejudice does your lord have against me?"

Guo Su snorted coldly, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

But He Tongpan reached out and grabbed Shen Xiniang's sleeve, "Cousin Zhiyuan, please tell me a fair word, isn't Master Guo wronging my good intentions?"

He grabbed the corner of Shen Xinniang's sleeve and pulled the distance between them closer, as if he was probing, but also seemed to want to observe something from a close distance.

Shen Xinniang pulled her sleeve back from his hand with no expression on her face, her face was neither shy nor panicked, "Mr. Judge Haihan, my cousin is in a bad mood. Maybe I was frightened last night. I just came here, and I didn’t know what happened, so I was scolded by him innocently. The judge should be more tolerant!"

He Tongpan couldn't see anything from her face, and withdrew his hand embarrassingly, "Cousin Zhiyuan said so!"

"You still don't leave, why are you dawdling?" Guo Su shouted from the front.

Shen Xinniang nodded at He Tongpan, and stepped up to catch up with Guo Su.

"My lord, why should you shame him face to face, and put him on guard." The two of them walked away before Shen Xiniang whispered in Guo Su's ear.

"On the surface he agrees with me to take back the land occupied by Yu's family, but behind his back, he offers to join me. I can't give him a good face." Guo Su said angrily.

Shen Xinniang glanced at him, this Guo Su is honest, but a little too straightforward, "It is precisely because I know this that I should keep my face in front of him, so that he will be defenseless."

Seeing Shen Xiniang shaking her head slightly, Guo Su couldn't help but blushed, "The lower officials disdain this the most, and I will make you laugh at me."

He joked about it, but clearly still wanted to do his own thing, which made Shen Xinniang quite helpless.

After leaving the government office, Guo Su asked someone to prepare a carriage, and Guo Su took Shen Xinniang to the barracks of the local army.

Another letter from Fang Yan was delivered to Chen Tixia, the leader of the local army in Jinyang.

When Guo Su and Shen Xiniang arrived, Chen Tixia was practicing, and dust was flying all over the school field, but the faces of those soldiers were solemn and serious, they didn't even blink their eyes, even if the dust fell into their eyes, they would stare them wide Big big, every move and every style is fierce, there is no noise on the entire school grounds, and the atmosphere of chilling and killing lingers over the school grounds.

It's just a small local army, but it has the majesty and aura of a regular army on the battlefield, which shows that the leader's skills are extraordinary.

Guo Su led Shen Xiniang to the high platform for military training from the side of the school field, where Chen Tixia was standing with a dignified face.

"Chen Tijutsu." Guo Su called out.

Chen Tixia, who led the drill, didn't look back, as if he didn't hear it.

Guo Su took another step forward, raised his voice and said, "Chen Tijutsu!"

Chen Tixia still looked at the soldiers seriously, completely ignoring Guo Su.

As the prefect of Jinyang, Guo Su felt that it was too embarrassing, and his expression was not very good-looking, so he shook his head helplessly, and said to Shen Xinniang with a smile: "This guy is simply a martial arts lunatic, he didn't care about anything when he was training soldiers."

Although he said with a smile, the curvature of the corner of his mouth was very stiff.

Shen Xiniang shook her head, and gently persuaded, "It's okay, it's not too late to talk about it after Chen Tixia finishes practicing."

Guo Su shook his head, "How can I do that, Mr. Lang came here from the capital, and he couldn't sleep well last night, so he hurriedly gave the prince's instructions to him, so Mr. Lang can go to rest earlier! I'll call him, and see if he can still share the rest. Don't know the priority?"

"Master Guo!" Shen Xiniang wanted to say that she was not tired, and she was not in a hurry at this moment.

But Guo Su had already rushed forward, grabbed Chen Tixia's sleeve and said, "Chen Tixia, I called you just now, why didn't you answer? I have something important to tell you!"

Chen Tiju raised his hand and waved, "Your Excellency, don't you see that the officer is training soldiers? What's the matter, let's talk about it after the training is over!"

He is a martial artist with great strength, he pushed Guo Su back a few steps with a wave of his hand.

Guo Su's face turned red, and he couldn't help but angrily said, "You, you vulgar man! Do you have to wait until you finish your military training to deal with urgent matters? Don't you know the crime of delaying the military situation?"

Only then did Chen Tijue turn to look at him, and said with a blank expression: "If there is an enemy situation or an emergency, just beat the drums on the school field! If you don't beat the drums, it's not an emergency. Don't bother the drill!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Tixia turned his face away again, completely ignoring the existence of the two of them.

Guo Su was so angry that his lips changed color, and he was about to walk towards the drum.

Shen Xinniang hurriedly stepped forward, stopped him and said, "My lord, don't be in a hurry, why is this matter beating the drums? What's the harm in waiting? I'm not very tired. If the drums are beating, Chen Tixia will ask your lord to explain in public. What is the urgent matter, how should adults explain it?"

Guo Su gave up after hearing this, but still had a look of resentment and dissatisfaction, and snorted at the serious Chen Tixia.

Seeing this, Shen Xinniang couldn't help but feel a little worried. The two have such different personalities, and they were so unhappy when they first met. Is Fang Yan's wish for Chen Tixia to protect Guo Su really realistic?
"Lang Jun, why don't you follow me to the camp for a while, he doesn't know when it will be!" Guo Suqi snorted, turned his face and said.

Shen Xinniang nodded, followed Guo Su out of the school grounds, and headed to the side camp.The guards in the camp recognized Guo Su, so they stopped to greet them, and invited the two into Chen Tixia's tent before bowing and leaving.

"It's okay to get used to him like this, if you're not used to it, I don't know how much you will get angry with him!" Chen Tixia seemed to comfort himself.

Shen Xinniang nodded and did not speak.The two were sitting in the camp. They thought they wouldn't be able to wait for long, but they didn't want to wait like this. They waited for nearly an hour before Chen Tixia, who was smelling of dust and sweat, strode back.

The tall and strong man lifted the curtain of the camp tent and laughed loudly, "Master Taishou, just now training soldiers, the most important thing is to pay attention to strict discipline. If there is any offence, I hope you will forgive me!"

When Chen Tijutsu was talking, he clasped his hands and smiled, with a sincere expression, a sincere tone, and an excellent attitude.

It turned out that Guo Su, who originally thought he was delaying time on purpose, blushed a little. He said that Chen Tixia was a rough man, and he was a literati. Naturally, he couldn't be more stingy than Chen Tixia, isn't he magnanimous enough?

Guo Su also hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Chen Tixia has a good way of training soldiers, I was the one who was rude."

"Your Excellency said that there is something urgent, but what is it?" Chen Tixia asked.

"Oh, this is the gentleman who came from the capital and brought a letter from Prince Qi." Guo Su took out Fang Yan's letter to Chen Tixia from his bosom.

Chen Tixia looked at it quickly, with a serious expression on his face, but he looked at Shen Xinniang appreciatively.
