Soon, everyone returned to the county seat of Pingxian County.

Because it was necessary to notify the county magistrate of Ping County to send someone to Luoyan Mountain as soon as possible to clean up the corpses and bury the dead Jinyi guards, Long Falcon, Tao Changwu and others took the first step and went to the county government to inform the county magistrate.

However, Long Falcon did not let Ding Zhilan go with him.

The reason he gave was that Ding Zhilan and Li Xuanyi were friends, and the two had not seen each other for a long time, so naturally they had a lot to talk about, so instead of following him to the county office, it was better to go with Li Xuanyi and catch up while visiting the county.

Hearing Long Falcon's proposal, Ding Zhilan readily agreed.

After experiencing the battle of Luoyan Mountain, she has already regarded Li Xuanyi as her future husband, so naturally she will not refuse the opportunity to be alone with Li Xuanyi and Shangguan Yun.

Before leaving, Tao Changwu also glanced at Li Xuanyi meaningfully, and his eyes seemed to say "seize the opportunity".

Seeing Tao Changwu's eyes, and thinking of the reason that Long Falcon had just found, Li Xuanyi suddenly understood what the two meant.

He immediately gave a thumbs up to the two of them in his heart-

I didn't expect these two high-ranking officials in Jinyi to have their own moon old attributes!

After Long Falcon and the others left, Li Xuanyi and the others first stored their horses in the post station, and then began to wander around the county streets.

Soon, it was noon.

The three of them finished strolling, walked into an inn, came to the private room on the second floor, asked for some food, and chatted while having lunch.

"Zhilan, I'm a little curious, why did you think of joining Jinyiwei in the first place?"

Li Xuanyi took a sip of tea, looked at Ding Zhilan, and asked.

After knowing the identity of the other party's prime minister's only daughter, he suddenly became quite curious about the reason why the other party joined Jinyiwei.

After all, the other party, as the only daughter of the prime minister, has always been clothed and fed, so there is really no reason to run into the dangerous brocade guard system to fight hard.

Shangguan Yun also had the same question, so she also looked at Ding Zhilan and waited for her answer.

Looking at the puzzled faces of the two people in front of her, Ding Zhilan smiled and replied:

"Well, it's actually very simple."

"I am different from my father, he was able to become an official through the imperial examination, and he was a pure literati, but I liked to dance with knives and guns since I was a child, and I longed for the things of the rivers and lakes."

"However, my father always felt that I was inexperienced, and thought that once I went out to explore the rivers and lakes, I would be victimized by traitors, so he never agreed with me to leave the house and go out to explore."

"Since my father doesn't agree, then I can only change my thinking and think of a compromise solution, which is to join the Jinyiwei system and become a Jinyiwei."

"After all, after becoming a Jinyiwei, I can not only roam the rivers and lakes, but also have the identity of Jinyiwei and the protection of Uncle Long, Uncle Tao and other uncles, and I can also improve my cultivation through actual combat, which is really a good compromise plan."

Speaking of this, she smiled a little embarrassedly, then took a sip of tea and continued:

"However, even so, my father still disagrees, thinking that Jinyiwei's life is too dangerous, and is unwilling to let me join the Jinyiwei system to take risks."

"But in the end, my father still didn't try to beat me up, and had to agree to let me join Jinyiwei."

"It's just that when I joined Jinyiwei, he greeted almost all the high-level leaders of Jinyiwei in advance, asking them to remember to take care of me and try not to let me come to the battlefield in person."

"In addition, my father even arranged for Liu Xian to enter the Jinyi Guard to protect my safety as closely as possible."

"Well, my dad will always be like this, and he doesn't want me to be in any danger......"

After saying this, Ding Zhilan's face was already full of red, obviously recalling these past events made her very embarrassed.

After listening to Ding Zhilan's story, Li Xuanyi could understand what Ding Hao did very well, he smiled and said:

"Zhilan, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, your father just hopes that you can be safe."

Shangguan Yun also added:

"Yes, Sister Zhilan, don't complain about Prime Minister Ding, what he did was all for your safety."

Hearing this, Ding Zhilan smiled:

"Xuanyi, sister Yun'er, you are right, my father is indeed doing this for my good."

"To be honest, I originally thought that my father was a little exaggerated, but after today's incident in Luoyan Mountain, I completely understood my father's mind."

"If I didn't have you today, I'm afraid I would have died in this Luoyan Mountain."

Li Xuanyi laughed: "We are friends, and it is natural for us to help each other!" ”

"Are you just friends......

Ding Zhilan smiled, but there was a trace of loss hidden in her eyes.

Li Xuanyi didn't notice the strangeness in the other party's eyes, but Shangguan Yun keenly caught this loss.

Her eyes rolled, and some thoughts popped into her heart.

The three of them ate and chatted, and soon ended their lunch.

Walking out of the inn, the three of them continued to wander around the county town until sunset, and then returned to the post station together.

Pushing open the door of the post station, the three of them saw Long Falcon and others sitting in the lobby on the first floor chatting.

Seeing Ding Zhilan and the three of them coming back, Long Falcon smiled and invited Li Xuanyi and Shangguan Yun to the best restaurant in the county to celebrate the successful completion of the mission.

The two of them had nothing to do, and Ding Zhilan was also invited by the side, so after symbolically shirking it, they agreed.

Everyone came to the restaurant in the center of the county, chartered a few private rooms, and began to drink the celebration wine to their heart's content.

The chips were staggered, the cups were changed, and everyone was eating and drinking.

By the time the banquet was over, it was late at night.

Long Falcon, Tao Changwu, Ding Zhilan and others returned to the post station, while Li Xuanyi and Shangguan Yun returned to the inn where they stayed before.

The two sides agreed that the next morning, they would meet downstairs at the post station and return to Jing County together.

On the morning of the next day, on the third pole of the day, everyone gathered at the downstairs of the post station, turned over their horses, and galloped away in the direction of Jing County.

Although the road was fast, because it was not early, it was already evening when everyone returned to Jing County.

Guo Shan had already received the news and waited at the gate of the county seat with a few small officials.

As soon as they met, Ding Zhilan explained to Guo Shan that Li Xuanyi would leave Jing County and go to Qianzhou to join Jinyiwei.

Hearing this, although Guo Shan was reluctant, he also understood that Jinyiwei's future was much better than that of this small Jing County.

Therefore, he did not keep too much, but readily agreed, and wished Li Xuanyi a bright future.

Later, seeing that it was getting late, he invited everyone to go to the restaurant together.

The group came to the restaurant, chartered a few private rooms, and began to enjoy delicious food and wine.

During the banquet, Ding Zhilan mentioned that because Li Xuanyi still had some procedures to go through, he would have to stay in Jing County for a few more days.

Therefore, he also plans to live in Jing County temporarily, and after he completes all the formalities, he will go to Qianzhou together.

Hearing this, Long Falcon and Tao Changwu hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

After dinner, everyone parted ways, Long Falcon and others returned to the post station, Guo Shan and the officials returned to the county office, and Li Xuanyi returned home with Shangguan Yun.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Xuanyi and Shangguan Yun came to the post station early to bid farewell to Long Falcon and others according to yesterday's agreement, and Guo Shan was already waiting here.

After Long Falcon and the others said goodbye to Li Xuanyi and the others, they embarked on the road to Qianzhou.

After sending Long Falcon and the others away, Guo Shan returned to the county office, while Li Xuanyi, Ding Zhilan and Shangguan Yun stopped in place, looking at the direction where the brocade guards left.

Just as Li Xuanyi and Ding Zhilan were outside the wandering objects, Shangguan Yun's crisp voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silent atmosphere in the field:

"Sister Zhilan, since Long Yanshi and Tao Zhenfu have made them leave, then instead of continuing to live in the post station, you should temporarily live in Brother Xuanyi's mansion."

"If you come, we can still chat together, it's better than you staying alone in the inn."

"Sister Zhilan, what do you think?"
