Chapter 12 Patrol
Since ancient times, the two officials standing in front of the government yawned lazily.
In recent years, under the governance of Her Majesty the Empress, it has become more and more stable, everyone is proud of their own elegance, and it is even more rare for something to happen in Jinling City, where the gentleman does not move his mouth.
The prosperous world is great, the world is peaceful, and the officials of these government offices are naturally happy.
One man and one rider stopped in front of the palace.
A sober official hurriedly reached out and patted his sleepy companion beside him, looking at the person who came here.
This is a middle-aged man in his forties, with an elegant and handsome face, and at a rough glance, he is no different from those scribes of the same age in Jiangnan Academy. When he turned over and dismounted, the officials realized that the man was very tall, standing in the street, almost a whole head above the pedestrians, which was not the same as the scribes in the academy.
The tall man walked up to them like this and said, "The two of you are annoying, Su wants to see Master Zhen." ”
The two officials recovered from the oppression of his tall figure, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "Lord Zhen is very busy, but he can't say that he can see it!" ”
Although this is not rude, it is also a little impatient.
The man only smiled and said lightly, "In Lower Sioux City." ”
What the? The officials were stunned.
After a period of scramble, Lord Zhen hurriedly ran out to greet him.
It is a well-known thing that the inspector who patrols on behalf of the heavens wants to come to Jinling City, but isn't it a few days before the team arrives at Jinling City? Why did Su Xun appear in Jinling City at this time?
Without waiting for Lord Zhen's trembling guesses, after sitting down, Su Cheng opened his mouth and explained the reason why he left the large army and appeared in Jinling City alone.
"Su Mou came to visit in advance to meet an old man, and he has been bothering him in the house for the past few days......"
O old man! Master Zhen recalled: It was possible. This Su Xunzhi was a student from Jinling, and then he entered the imperial examination and entered the officialdom before settling in Chang'an.
It is also common to have one or two old friends, but I don't know that this old friend is so big that Su Xun can leave a large army of men and horses to come alone.
Of course, Lord Zhen is not so good with Su Cheng that he doesn't need to worry about talking about everything, what Su Xun wants to do, and who he sees is not something he can ask, all he can do is to send some people to protect one or two out of Su Xun's safety.
Unexpectedly, he was rejected by Su Cheng as soon as he mentioned it, he pressed one hand on the saber at his waist, and the words he said with a gentle expression were undoubted: "Lord Zhen's kindness, Su Mou understands it." It's just that although he is not very familiar with martial arts, he can still protect himself. ”
Lord Zhen recalled that this Su Patrol's martial arts were very good, if it weren't for this, a Patrol Commander who patrolled on behalf of the heavens would not dare to come alone and ride alone.
Su Xun, who was proficient in martial arts, only sat in the palace, and went out of the city after a short rest, which was still the return of the officers and soldiers guarding the city. As for the rest, they didn't know who the old friend Su Xun saw was and where the person was.
Qiao Ran thought that the promise of the Lord would at least wait until the people who inspected the heavens came to Jinling, but she didn't know that it would only take two days for her to meet the legendary Su Xun. When someone was sent to call her, Qiao Ran was still a little surprised and incredulous: although she could hear from the tone of the viewer that day that the viewer and this Su patrol press probably had some "friendship", she never thought that this friendship would make a patrol press leave the team and come here day and night.
It seems that there are a lot of secrets in the Lord!
The Dao aunt who was sent to call her was an old acquaintance, and Qiao Ran called her: "Lingxiang is a real person!" ”
Daogu Lingxiang returned the word "Master Qiao", and the shock on her face when she came over gradually dissipated at this time: I thought that I was also shocked by the "friendship" between the master and Su Xun.
The master is still sitting on the futon in the hall, the dust is thrown not far away, the Su Xun press is sitting on the futon opposite her, when Qiao Ran enters, he is listening to the Su Xun press and say: "Ruomei, I had to ...... back then."
"I'm not here to ask you to catch up." The viewer raised his eyes and glared at Qiao Ran, who was looking this way, and said, "Miss Qiao is here." ”
Qiao Ran stepped forward and gave a salute.
The elegant and handsome Inspector nodded at her and motioned for her to sit down: "Ruomei has already told me, the affairs of the Fang family ......" He paused, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's really a bit troublesome. ”
The Spectator snorted coldly.
Su Xun snorted coldly at the Viewer, only smiled and said, "I can tell what I know, it's just ......" He said and looked at the Viewer, "If I say it now, would you still be willing to see me?" ”
Qiao Ran hung her head: eyes and eyes, nose and nose, silent. It was she who wanted to ask about things, but it was obvious that this Su Xun was concerned about the Lord. A person who can get to this position in officialdom should not think that this is a person who can easily shake his decision. From the very beginning, what she wanted to ask was the bargaining chips in the hands of this patrolman, the bargaining chips to "catch up" with the Lord.
"You're still as insidious as you were back then!" Compared with the "unforgettable" Su Xunpress, the reaction of the viewer was much more indifferent, and there was a faint hint of disgust and impatience between his eyebrows.
"You're as straightforward as you were back then." Su Xun stood up as he spoke, "I heard that Xuanzhenguan's vegetarian food is good, I want to finish the vegetarian food here before leaving?" ”
"Whatever you want." The viewer coldly spit out two words, and shouted, "Lingxiang, take the guests to the dining hall to fast!" ”
"In these days in Jinling, I will come often." Su Xun smiled at the viewer as he spoke, and walked out.
"What kind of eyes do you have?" After Su Xun left, the viewer opened his mouth and looked at Qiao Ran, "Don't think about it! This person is always like this, three points of love can be said to be twelve points of love, the couple's affectionate Mrs. Su only passed away three years ago, and this person was still writing poems for his Mrs. Su before the inspection of the sky! ”
"Oh." Qiao Ran replied dryly, thought for a moment in the eyes of the viewer, "He is quite fraternal." ”
This evaluation...... The viewer glanced at her, and then said quietly: "Isn't it for you that I gave up this old face?" I told you that this man was very insidious, and he said that he would tell you before he left, and he would not be an hour in the morning, so wait! ”
After saying this, the viewer blasted her out, of course Qiao Ran would not be angry because of these trivial things, it could be seen that the viewer was very reluctant to see this Su Xunpress, and forced his own will to find Su Xunpress for her, and now the viewer is in a good mood! After giving a salute outside the hall, Qiao Ran walked away.
"What a good temper," muttered the watchman as she looked at the girl's distant back, "and these are inconsequential things in her eyes!" Generous but not a bad person, compared to the two biological ones, but this child is more like her, no wonder she loves this child so much. ”
"It's just ......" she stretched out her hand, took out a bamboo skewer from her sleeve, looked at the sign and smiled bitterly, "People say that I am Xuanzhen Guan Wenling, I rarely ask for a sign for myself, but I ask for a sign......"
This is not a good sign, not only the signing, but she herself has such a hunch.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Picking up the dust around her, she turned around and kowtowed to the Sanqing Moral Patriarch enshrined in the hall, "Bless the disciples, bless the Xuanzhen Temple!" ”
