The Guardian Spirit of the Emperor in Zhenhun Street

Chapter 86
Qin Nan followed Zhao Bainan to the inn lobby, and immediately spotted the white-clothed boy he had seen at the city gate that day.

The boy in white and Li Xu sat around a square table. Zhao Pu poured a cup of tea for him with a pot of tea, but he ignored Li Xu who was on the side, put the teapot on the table, and expressed his gratitude to the boy in white You're welcome.

Li Xu didn't care that Zhao Pu didn't pour tea for him, so he picked up the teapot directly, and took two gulps from the spout, then continued to talk to the boy in white.

With a warm smile, the young man in white listened attentively to Li Xu's nagging, without any sign of impatience.

Seeing the young man in white clothes like this, Li Xu's tone became even more high-pitched, as if he had found a bosom friend, and he waved his arms from time to time to express his excitement when he talked about the fun.

At this moment, the young man in white seemed to have noticed Qin Nan's arrival, and said something to Li Xu. Li Xu's excited expression instantly languished, and he turned his head and gave Qin Nan a hateful look, and then said to Zhao Pu beside him, " It's all your fault!"

Zhao Pu: "???"

Can this also be my fault?Zhao Pu looked at everyone in confusion, what's wrong with me?
The young man in white walked up to Qin Nan, cupped his fists and said, "My servant, Li Yin, is a disciple of Mr. Guo, the governor of Anxi, and I invite you to go to the governor's mansion to have a talk by order of my teacher."

The general guard is looking for me?
"Guo Xin? Guard Guo looking for me?"

Li Yin nodded, "That's right! It's the tutor."

Qin Nan didn't know why Da Du Hu was looking for him, but the only connection he had with Da Du Hu was Li Yu's siblings, and
Li Er!

Could it be that the chief guard discovered Li Er's existence?In this way, he didn't have the slightest worry about going to the Duhu Mansion. Although the Anxi Army had resentment towards Datang, Guo Xin's loyalty to Datang was unquestionable.

That's Guo Xin!

In the third year of Tang Xianzong Yuanhe, that is, the snowy winter in 808 AD, it was the most tragic moment in the history of the Tang Empire's western border defense: the last remnant soldier of the Anxi Dufu Mansion was alone on the military fort in Qiuci, and had long been in Tubo. Under the siege of the enemy, they ran out of ammunition and food.
The gray-haired general Guo Xin drew his sword and shouted. Amidst the loud shouts of killing, the sallow and emaciated Tang soldiers held weapons and fought the final bloody fight with the Tubo army on the top of the city. Surrender one!
The city is full of white hair,
Don't throw away Mo Dao.

Fifty years of independent resistance,
How dare you forget Datang.

Guo Xin was known as the King of the Iron Blood County in history, his loyalty to Datang is unquestionable, this is the glory he has proved with blood!

Qin Nan's blood boiled involuntarily when he thought of meeting that legendary figure.

Zhao Bainan and the others on the side were also full of expectations, even Li Xu turned his head and looked at Li Yin expectantly.

Li Xu said anxiously, "Then what are you waiting for! Let's go!" After finishing speaking, he hurried out of the inn alone, seeming to have forgotten that he didn't know the location of the Protectorate's Mansion.

Qin Nan smiled awkwardly at Li Yin, pointed to his own head, and then pointed to Li Xu's back.

Li Yin didn't think so, and said with a light smile, "I think Li Xu is a pretty good guy, with a childlike heart, he speaks very sincerely, and doesn't beat around the bush so much, I quite like him."

Li Yu, who was at the side, couldn't help hearing someone praise his younger brother so much, and he had a high opinion of Li Yin in his heart.

Qin Nan nodded. He didn't comment on Li Yin's evaluation of Li Xu, obviously he had a different opinion.

"Let's go, otherwise Li Xu will really get lost later, and it will be troublesome."

The Protector's Mansion where Guo Xin is located is not in the center of Anxi Town, but in the northwest of Anxi Town, which seems to be a specially chosen location for the convenience of resisting the evil spirits of the underworld.

The Protectorate's Mansion is not as magnificent as Qin Nan imagined, and it is just right for the evil spirit's figure.

The gate of the Governor's Mansion is made of several huge stones, and there is no fine carving, just like the gate of the farmer's house in the human world. It seems that because the Guardian often summons the spirits, no stone ladder was built. The flat leads to the yard.

The front yard is covered with blue stones, without any flowers, plants or trees. Two strong soldiers are competing in the yard. It seems that they are wrestling. They are surrounded by dozens of soldiers. Whenever someone falls Afterwards, they all excitedly cheered loudly and applauded loudly.

The evil spirit soldiers in the courtyard shouted, Li Yin nodded their heads and continued their wrestling.

Li Yin seemed to see that Qin Nan was curious, and explained, "Da Du has given orders, as long as it is not on duty or in battle, the superior and inferior are not so clearly distinguished."

Qin Nan praised, "Da Duhu really loves soldiers like a son."

"They were the last soldiers who died together with the Protector. They shed the last drop of blood for the Tang Dynasty! They deserve to be treated kindly by the Protector." Speaking of this, Li Yin glanced at Li Yu and Li Yu beside him, with a very meaningful look on his face. .

Qin Nan saw Li Yu and Li Xu when he saw Li Xu talking about Datang. Could it be that Guo Daguo summoned us only because of the relationship between Li Yu and Li Xu, but why did someone well-known want to see me?
In other words, Chief Protector Guo already knew of Li Er's existence, but he didn't tell Li Yin.

"Master, I have already brought the person you want."

Qin Nan, who was deep in thought, followed Li Yin consciously, and was awakened by Li Yin's voice instantly, only to realize that they had arrived in the backyard and were standing outside a room door.

Li Yin knocked lightly on the door and said.

The yard in the backyard is not big, and the edges and corners of the stone slabs have been ground to be smooth and round. Such roundness is not made by manual polishing, but is formed by someone who has been working on the stone slabs for a long time.

It seems that the chief guard also often practices martial arts in the backyard.

At this time, the door in front of Qin Nan opened with a creak, and a man with a handsome face, about 4 to 50 years old, appeared in front of everyone.

The man was wearing a round-neck robe unique to the Tang Dynasty, with a beard about 3 feet long. He didn't look like a general in Qin Nan's imagination, but looked like a Confucian.

When Li Yin saw the man, he saluted respectfully, "Teacher."

Qin Nan and the others also hurriedly bowed down to salute.

Since Guo Xin is an evil spirit, his body is too large, about 4 times the height of Qin Nan and others. I am afraid that he has to squat down to help Qin Nan and others, so he just accepts their gift generously.

Qin Nan couldn't believe that the iron-blooded county king who was still fighting to the death in a desperate situation could be so elegant. He couldn't imagine that such a man faced endless enemies and dared to shout that the Tang Dynasty is invincible. Then the scene of drawing swords to face each other.

Qin Nan took a deep breath, raised his neck and looked respectfully, "Kid Qin Nan, I have met the Chief Protector! I don't know why the Chief Protector summoned us?"

Da Duhu nodded slightly to Qin Nan, and said, "Let's talk first."

Qin Nan looked at the back of the guardian, and stepped into the study without the slightest hesitation.

The study room was quite spacious for Qin Nan and the others, and there was a huge map hanging on the wall facing the door.

Qin Nan took a closer look. It was a topographic map of the Western Regions in the Tang Dynasty, and the topography of the modern XJ Pamirs in Qin Nan's memory has also changed a little. Various information is marked on the map with a brush.

Of course, this map is of no use to the current Anxi Town, and Guo Xin hung it in his room just to remember the past, otherwise he would not let Qin Nan and others look at it.

There is a huge bookcase on the right side of the map. There are various bamboo slips, scrolls, and modern books on the bookcase. The books are a little messy, which is obviously caused by Guo Xin's frequent reading.

A rather large, low wooden table was placed in front of the window. Guo Xin walked behind the table and sat cross-legged on a futon, and stretched out his hand to signal Qin Nan and the others to sit down.

There were chairs placed on both sides of Qin Nan and the others. In this way, Qin Nan and the others sat on the chairs while Guo Xin sat on the futon.

Qin Nan and the others didn't hesitate, and immediately sat on the chairs, ready to hear why Guo Duhu called them here.
