Since ancient times, Youzhou City has been an important military town and commercial center in the north of the Central Plains Dynasty, and is one of the most prosperous cities in the entire northern Xinjiang. Two hundred miles away is the border, Youzhou City and Suzhou City in the northwest corner of the map of the same martial arts, the people are rude.

After the founding of the country, Dayue set up the Liaoxi Protectorate in Liaoxi County, Youzhou, and controlled the military power by the Son of Heaven Yaoling, and is currently the founder of the famous general Wang Yuchang, the grandson of Wang Chenghai, as the governor, and the history of Youzhou Thorn is Zhang Boyan, who was born in Taiyuan Zhang.

It has reached the end of the lunar month, most of the wanderers have returned home, and the city of Youzhou is calm and quiet, and the New Year is full of flavor everywhere. Located in the yamen in the east of the city, the guards are also cleaning the courtyard of the house in preparation for the New Year.

In the meeting hall of the Yamen, Zhang Boyan, the assassin of the history, was dressed in an official mansion, holding a teacup in his hand, listening to the conversation of several officials, and his expression was obviously not very good-looking.

As a state assassin, it can be regarded as a feudal official, and there is no vassal king in Youzhou, so it can be said that in addition to the chief official of the Liaoxi Metropolitan Protectorate and the Cui family, Zhang Boyan is the largest.

However, today's Zhang Boyan is obviously not in a good mood.

In the meeting hall, Song Ying and Wolf Wei's subordinates and local headhunters arranged errands, and the three sentences were not separated from 'Su Wang Shizi', and Zhang Boyan was worried in his heart.

What kind of character is the prince of Su? Da Yue's only son with a different surname, 200,000 Xiliang troops squatting on the other side of Da Yue, the prestige of the founding of the country is still well known, and even the Northern Qi on the opposite side is terrified, not to mention his little thorn history.

A few days ago, when he heard that something had happened to the Tang family, Zhang Boyan begged God to worship the Buddha at home as a turtle with a shrunken head, not looking, listening, or talking, just hoping not to bring the matter to him. The result was good, it was only a few days later, and Lord Song from the Investigation Department came to the door.

What kind of character is Song Ying? is just a quick catch, and the two Zheng'er Bajing official positions are not available, but they are the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, and there are countless secret stakes in the north and south of his palms, and he even dares to investigate the private affairs of the vassal king, not to mention his small thorn history.

Both sides can't afford to provoke, Zhang Boyan has words of suffering, but he can't avoid it.

The Investigation Department is a yamen hanging under the Criminal Department, and it is not in charge of the military, even if Song Ying is a close confidant of the Son of Heaven, it is impossible to mobilize the border army, and if he wants to do things with manpower, he can naturally only find Zhang Boyan, who is in charge of the military and political affairs of Youzhou.

It doesn't matter if you come to ask for someone, Zhang Boyan pretended to be deaf and dumb, but now Song Ying directly detained a girl and locked her in the prison of Youzhou City, the girl is rumored to be the concubine of the prince of Su, and she was arrested in the name of the Youzhou government, on the grounds that she entered the country without a guide.

My God, if this is known by the prince of Su, not to mention the official career, whether he can save his life is a question!

Zhang Boyan can do the position of a state assassin, he is definitely not stupid, he can obviously see that this is a fatal attention, after thinking about it again, he still said:

"Lord Song, that girl can't be caught, no one has brought this thing to Lu Yin in Youzhou, and the government hasn't checked it, take this person who detains the prince of Su, if King Su knows, hand over a fold to the saint, I can go to Luliang Mountain to be the magistrate, aren't you embarrassed for me?"

The chief officer of the Investigation Department brought the gold medal from the Son of Heaven, and basically saw the official level, and Zhang Boyan was not easy to say anything serious.

Song Ying learned about Bodhi Island and knew the importance of this matter, and the Son of Heaven must have detained Xu Buling as soon as he knew about it, so it was not considered to be his own opinion. Seeing that Zhang Boyan was worried, Song Ying said flatly:

"Master Zhang, don't worry, Song has already asked the Holy Lord, and the Holy Decree is being sent urgently for 800 miles, and it will arrive soon. Please also ask Lord Zhang to step up the mobilization of the people below, don't neglect their duties and let go of the prince of Su......"

The teacup in Zhang Boyan's hand shook: "Lord Song, why don't you invite King Su to come over, and are you going to detain King Su Shizi?" Do you think that Xiliang Army has not come out for a long time, and you want to find a reason for them? If that's the case, I suggest you go to Guanzhong Dao to mess around, where is close, don't come to me to provoke evil stars......"

"King Su is more than 2,000 miles away, and he can't come over."

"Hey—Lord Song, have you seen the map? King Su threw himself into the Northern Qi Dynasty, and came from Mobei to Pingchuan, do you have to bypass Guanzhong Road when you are a person? ”

The jade seal is very important, only the chief officer of the Investigation Department knows, and it is impossible for Song Ying to explain to Zhang Boyan, so he raised his hand and said:

"This matter is very important, and when the Holy Decree arrives, Lord Zhang only needs to act in accordance with the Imperial Decree......"

Zhang Boyan put down the teacup and spread his hand: "But now that the holy decree has not arrived, Lord Song, you come over and show a sign and let the official catch the son of the vassal king, what kind of system will it be?" You go and show Jing Zhaoyin a sign and ask him to catch the prince, do you think he is obedient? It's for the sake of the Investigation Department's face, so I didn't arrest you, Lord Song......"

Song Ying was full of complaints when she heard this, but she couldn't respond, so she got up immediately: "Lord Zhang, you'd better follow what the official said, otherwise the saint will take off your official hat afterwards, and the Taiyuan Wang family will not be able to protect you." ”

"Hey—"

Zhang Boyan slapped the table and wanted to say a few words, but Song Ying had already left the meeting hall, he held back for a moment, the emperor was older than King Su after all, and he could only raise his hand:

"Go and go, set up cards along the road to keep an eye on it, and found the prince of Su, please come back immediately. Remember to please, who the Liang knife was cut, don't come to the official to cry afterwards......"

Behind the Yamen, Youzhou City Prison.

Youzhou City as the capital of a place, the prison is basically full of death row prisoners who kill people and set fires, and ordinary thieves who are abducted and deceived cannot enter.

In order to prevent robbery and escape, the railings of the cells are made of iron, the walls are three feet high and there are arrow towers, and there are two battalions of soldiers and horses on duty in turn, like a small fortress.

Zhongli Chuchu is imprisoned here, obviously because Song Ying is worried that Xu Buling will rob the prison with his strong skills.

In the dim prison, there was no daylight, and the prisoner with the heavy flail lay behind the cell, knowing that the next time he saw the sun might be the time to kill his head, it was impossible to escape, and he had given up hope, and there was no voice to cry out for injustice.

Deep in the narrow corridor of the cell, the cell used to hold grandmaster-level masters is inlaid with two-finger-thick iron plates on all six sides, even the floor. Originally, the cell was empty, so as not to be used as a weapon by the master to kill people. But at this time, the beds, small tables, melon seed snacks, bedding and blankets were all new, and there was even a dresser.

This kind of extravagant treatment may be the first time since the construction of the prison, but these things obviously can't calm the emotions of the imprisoned.

At the door of the cell, Zhongli Chuchu was dressed in a long red dress, covered with a cheeky shoulder, and looked at the aisle outside from the small mouth of the palm with his toes on his toes, and kept shouting:

"Let me out! Do you know who I am? Xu Buling is me...... It's my lover, you take me and let him know, and you're doomed......"

The jailers sitting outside the passage pretended to be deaf and dumb and did not dare to respond, and the person guarding was the sword leader Situ Yue Ash, holding the nine-ring knife and always paying attention to the surroundings, so as to avoid Xu Buling suddenly killing and robbing people.

"Hey! Anyone?! Seriously, I'm really a good match......"

Zhongli Chuchu slapped on the iron door, shouting for a long time and not responding, there was obviously some fear in his green eyes, his skin was already snow-white when he was born in the Western Regions, but at this time it was even whiter, and his shoulders kept shaking.

After leaving Huainan, Zhongli Chuchu rode his white camel and wanted to rush to Youzhou and Xu Buling. But although the camel has great endurance and can travel long distances, its speed is much worse than that of Pegasus, and it is impossible to go down the river by boat to the north, and it has been two days before she runs to Youzhou.

Zhongli Chuchu has also walked on the rivers and lakes for two years, and she knows the way and rules, and she has never gone wrong, but this time she didn't do anything, she was blocked by the wolf guard, and she originally wanted to get out with the Lock Dragon Gu, but the person who came was clear about her methods, and directly took out the bow and crossbow from Lao Yuan.

Zhongli Chuchu is also a native of the rivers and lakes, and he must be afraid of this group of black impermanence, so he can only grit his teeth and report Xu Buling's name, hoping to escape with the power of King Su. But this group of wolf guards is really unreasonable, they don't even give King Su face, and they lock her up when they bring her here, and they don't even have a reason.

"The people of the Central Plains are really unreasonable......

Zhongli Chuchu tapped the door a few times, and after seeing that no one responded, he sat back on the edge of the bed in a tense mood, pursing his lips and not knowing what to do. The methods of the Investigation Division, everyone in the rivers and lakes know that if they are caught, they basically don't get out alive, so they will be called the Hades Palace.

She is a citizen of Dayue, and she can reason with the government, but as a native of South Vietnam, she is a black household for the Dayue government, and no one is in charge of her when she is arrested and sold. She is now Da Yue's only eight kui, she should be worth a lot of silver, so she won't be targeted......

Thinking of this, Zhongli Chuchu was even more flustered, and stood up and slapped the iron door again: "I'm serious! I am the woman of Xu Buling, he asked me to be the concubine of King Su, if you dare to arrest me, he will definitely bring troops to fight......"

"Girl!"

As soon as he shouted two sentences, Song Ying appeared outside the small window, startling Zhongli Chuchu and closing his mouth and not daring to speak.

Song Ying stood outside the cell with her hands behind her back, and her attitude was quite gentle:

"Don't worry, girl, Xu Shizi will come over soon, just wait patiently for two days."

Zhongli Chuchu had never seen Song Ying, but when he saw that this wolf guard knew Xu Buling, his green eyes showed a little annoyance:

"You know my relationship with Xu Buling, and you dare to arrest me? If you let him know, you're dead......"

Song Ying chuckled lightly and motioned to the iron prison cell: "I work for the imperial court, and I died in the line of duty, so I don't worry about the girl." After two days, Xu Shizi will be able to accompany the girl here, and he should be alone for a long time, and if he needs anything, he can say hello at any time. ”

Zhongli Chuchu was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it for a while, he understood the meaning of these words:

"You want to arrest Xu Buling? If you want to rebel, you can't ......"

Speaking of which, Zhongli Chuchu suddenly understood the purpose of her being detained, which was to use it as bait to lure Xu Buling over!

When Zhongli Chuchu thought of this, he panicked in his heart, and said anxiously:

"Xu Buling has nothing to do with me, I'm just talking about playing, he can't come to me, you caught the wrong person......"

"You just said that you want Xu Shizi to choose you as a side concubine."

"I'm talking nonsense, Xu Buling and I met in Pingshui, but I just know each other, it's impossible to come and pick me up......"

While he was talking, a wolf guard suddenly ran in from outside, and said in a slightly panicked voice:

"Lord Song, Xu Shizi is here?"

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Two voices appeared at the same time.

Zhongli Chuchu was stunned for a moment, first surprised, then slightly panicked, and said angrily:

"You are so bold, if you dare to do anything to Xu Buling, I will ...... I'm going to die here, and I'll see how you end......"

Song Ying didn't expect Xu Buling to appear so soon, so she hurriedly walked out.

"Hey! I honestly, I'm dying here, hey......"
