"Commander, the first thirty miles ahead is the post station, let's rest here tonight. ”

"How far is it from Taizhou?"

"It's about a hundred and fifty miles. ”

"Then let's rest at the post station, pass the order, and we will go straight to Taizhou early tomorrow morning." Seeing Song Fan slapping his horse away, Su Lan smiled wryly at Li Yuan, and said slowly: "Look, I don't think much of me today, and I will be sent out on the second day of the crown ceremony." ”

Li Yuan secretly said in his heart, isn't this the master of the messenger you asked for yourself, the organs are exhausted, and now you have a cheap advantage, as if you have been greatly wronged.

"Yesterday, my subordinates received a congratulatory gift for you, and I came from Wanping City. Li Yuan looked at Su Lan's smug appearance, and said slowly, "The birthday gift that Lord Qi gave you is a green hosta. ”

Su Lan glanced at him with a flat expression, and said, "Green hosta, you sell it." ”

"King Min has given you a few mansions, and there is also a hot spring village in them. Li Yuan saw that her expression was wrong, but he also picked up some good words for her with a little hindsight, "My subordinates have seen it, it's worth a lot of silver." ”

"Yes. Su Lan still had that smile on her face, and said slowly, "I guess there is a place in Liaoliang, and there is a land." ”

"Exactly. Li Yuan's face, which had always been paralyzed, rarely showed a look that could barely be called surprised, "Childe's wisdom is really unparalleled." ”

"It's not that I'm unequaled. It's just, Ah Yuan, why do I feel that your brain is getting worse and worse lately. Su Lan shook her head, "You take a few people and go to the front post station to have a look." ”

Smoke and dust rolled up from horses' hooves on the official road, and the sky was getting cooler in the evening at the end of August. Looking west at the sky, it was the shadow of the sun that fell, dyeing that corner brilliantly crimson. A line of wild goose shadows flew by, Su Lan suddenly snatched the bow and arrow from the hand of the guard beside her, and pulled the bow like flowing water, before the soldiers behind her could see her movements clearly, they saw that the line of wild goose shadows was cut off from it, and it was actually shot down by her!

Su Lan stuffed the bow and arrow back into the guard's hand, then patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Go ahead and pick up that goose." When the guard whipped away, the soldiers behind him were relieved of the immobilization spell, and suddenly let out a burst of cheers: "The general is brave!

Su Lan raised her left hand, shook her head nonchalantly, and then exerted force in her crotch, urged the horses, and walked straight forward. All the elites she brought with her on this trip were the elites of the forbidden army, and even if she was single-handedly adjusted, taught, and trained quickly, seeing her like this, she was also immediately cleaned up, and galloped along the empty official road with her.

The autumn geese are innocent, and the long wind sends them away. It's just that I happened to bump into her, a person who is uncertain. Su Lan whipped her whip violently, raising the dust all the way behind her body.

On the evening of the second day, Su Lan arrived in Taizhou, and the Taizhou Thorn Shi also responded to the city early. Su Lan was only wearing a dark blue riding suit, her long hair tied up with a purple and gold crown, and she was wearing gold silk soft armor. Judging from the face alone, it is like an ordinary rich and noble son's hunting in the suburbs, but the Taizhou Thorn Shi who greeted him was stunned, this, this person does not look like a general holding the forbidden army at all.

"There is a history of stabbing. Su Lan threw the whip to Li Yuan beside him, and conveniently turned over and dismounted, "I have brought a lot of soldiers with me on this trip, and I am afraid of disturbing the common people, so I asked them to be stationed outside the city, and I was troubled to stab people to supply them under my command." ”

"Naturally. "Taizhou Thorn Shi returned the favor with an excellent attitude. Whether he is born or ranked, he is not as good as the young man in front of him, the only thing that is more than her is age, but in the officialdom of this Chu State, what is the use of being old?

"The Taizhou Mansion has prepared thin wine, and asked the Hou Ye to appreciate his face. Taizhou Thorn Shi's trip was to be greeted by car, and Su Lan couldn't, so he got off the horse and boarded the car to walk with him.

"Thank you, my lord, it's just that Lan has already voted for the post to Marquis Chen, and tomorrow morning, I will go to Shouyang in person, tonight's meal, I'm afraid it won't be possible, don't blame me. Su Lan had a mask-like smile on her face, gentle and elegant, modest and polite, and did not have the slightest appearance of the marquis of the Su family.

Although Taizhou Thorn Shi was rejected by her, where did he dare to blame her: "Where Hou Ye said, Hou Ye came all the way at a gallop, he must be tired, and the lower officials did not think it through." It's just that you just mentioned that you are going to Shouyang tomorrow?"

"Shouyang and Gaoyang are slightly different in direction, so I will temporarily entrust the army to Taizhou, and then set off in three days, it is convenient for Lord Shi. ”

"Naturally. ”

"Thank you, sir. Su Lan smiled when she heard this, nodded slightly, her face was so bright and amazing, Taizhou Thorn Shi was stunned for a while.

"Then, Su said goodbye to the adult. Su Lan's voice pulled back the sanity of Taizhou Thorn Shi, and suddenly the carriage had stopped at the door of the post house. Taizhou Thorn Shi's face turned red in an instant, he was middle-aged, and he was fascinated by the beauty of the commander, really, alas, shameful.

Su Lan didn't give him time to be embarrassed, and went straight into the post house, and the guards who rode horses behind him were even more well-trained, and immediately found their own positions and took over the defense of the entire post house.

"Shouyang County is not under the jurisdiction of Taizhou, and according to the state division, it is counted into Longxi Mansion. However, Shouyang is quite close to Taizhou, and the situation is similar. Shouyang County faces the four states of Luohe, and the climate is the best in Longxi Prefecture, and most of the grain production in Longxi Prefecture comes from Shouyang County. The Chen clan is unique in Longxi, and Shouyang County Shou is also his clansman. In the post house, Li Qing and Li Yuan, who had returned from Shouyang, sat opposite Su Lan, "Do you think Master Zheng and Master Xuan will be in Shouyang?"

"If it's only Xuanxi, I'm not very sure, but Uncle Zheng is also on the same road, so I'm eight points sure. Su Lan nodded, "Look at this map, Shouyang and Gaoyang, looking at the north and south directions, but the middle mountain is long and narrow, and the distance is actually only a hundred miles." Nearly six days have passed since the letter was received, which is enough for them to reach Shouyang. ”

"What's going on in the Guiyuan Marquis Mansion?"

"The eyeliner planted in the county guard mansion has reported that Zhang Qi has been sent back, but his correspondence is still being monitored, and our people have not rashly contacted. However, Zhang Qi has already started to be a director, and he has not hindered his transfer of Gaoyang's accounts, grain and grass, and returned to the Yuanhou Mansion. Li Yuan said slowly, "Guiyuan Hou's Mansion is a little lively, Xing Tao lived in the mansion four days ago, and even that Hou Lady is quite tough." ”

"The Xing family has a son, and it is the time when Li Jiangyuan can't offend them rashly, depending on whether Xing Tao is smart enough. Su Lan tapped her finger lightly on the table, "Zhang Qi is beyond my expectations, quite surprising." You asked our people to act at the opportunity, and Zhang Qi went online, passed the message, and remembered the people who used the old man. ”

"Tomorrow you only bring five hundred guards, will it be a little dangerous? Li Yuan nodded in response, and then asked, "Song Fan also feels the same, and has already ordered an additional two thousand soldiers and horses for you, and you can accompany you tomorrow." ”

"Five hundred is enough, I don't have to trust it. Su Lan shook her head, "Three thousand soldiers and horses said no, it is useless to see more." Besides, I feel that my five hundred people will be decorations. ”

"It's just that the momentum has been broken. Li Qing also persuaded.

"Momentum? We don't pay attention to this when we go to Shouyang, Uncle Zheng is here, what kind of momentum do we want; Uncle Zheng is not here, then if I don't bring 10,000 soldiers and horses, I probably won't be able to get out of Shouyang." Su Lan sighed, "So Ah Yuan, you stayed in Taizhou, and together with Song Fan, you kept an eye on the news, just in case, it could save my life." ”

"Master!"

"Well, it's okay, it's just that I have to deal with people I haven't seen before, annoying. Su Lan waved her hand nonchalantly, and when she spoke again, her expression suddenly turned cold, "Keep an eye on Su Ruan, this woman I guess must cause me some trouble." ”

"Mrs. Hui'an, she is not an easy person to deal with, and the master should be careful. ”

"Men can't help her, can't I help her. The methods used by women, I have learned well since I was a child, and I am not afraid of her at all. Su Lan sighed as she spoke, "It's a pity that my mother taught me carefully, but who knew that heroes were useless." It's a pity that I'm useless for this ability. ”

"The subordinates retired. Li Yuan and Li Qing glanced at each other, and they both got up violently as if there was charcoal burning under their buttocks, and they ran away together without waiting for Su Lan to speak.

The gate of Shouyang County is not high, with blue tiles and gray walls, and it does not look like a very prominent territory. The official road has been going all the way, and in this early autumn world, there is a bumper harvest scene among the fields outside the city, which can be regarded as the word rich.

"During the Shangqing Dynasty, Shouyang seemed to be the fief of a certain princess, and I don't remember it clearly. This Princess Shouyang is not famous for the side, just the same, plum blossom makeup. You see that this Shouyang woman, whether rich or poor, has appliques, but it's not Princess Shouyang's wedding makeup. ”

"Master, look, Hua Tian is still emerald and vermilion, and the yellow makeup is really unappreciated. ”

The eldest son of the Hou Mansion who came to greet Su Lan walked side by side with her, listening to her conversation with Li Qing, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, he restrained but still kept glancing at Su Lan, seeing that her side face was extremely exquisite, and he hurriedly turned his eyes away.

It is said that this son's style and flow are full of imperial capital, belonging to the spring boudoir dream person in the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou, and there is also the name of "Yulang".

Su Lan went to Shouyang on this trip, and both sides tacitly maintained a friendly and low-key attitude, and because of this, Su Lan left the army behind him and only took 500 people with him. She didn't hide her trip, she was frank and open to others, but she made a low-key posture, and it was very weird to look at.

The Chen family did not put on a big battle to greet them, but they also sent their eldest son out of the city to meet them for thirty miles, giving Su Lan enough sincerity and face. All the way into the Hou Mansion smoothly, there was no greeting onlookers, but directly invited them to settle in the guest house, but the room has prepared hot water for snacks, but this move is more than the head of the family to welcome and hold hands to express their heartfelt feelings.

When she ate the third rose cake, Su Lan's first impression of Chen was excellent.

The Chen family should be a pragmatic and meticulous family, moisturizing things silently, which is really likable.
