There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 382

"Who is he? Isn't he one of you..."

The two soldiers couldn't say any more words after that. They were horrified, took a few steps back, and then sat down on the ground, their limbs trembling as they were dumbfounded.

That was out of fear.

It turned out that Luo Gan knew that he could reveal his identity as soon as he heard Su Xian's words, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and slowly took off the bandage on his face...

Although he was beaten into a pig's head, his identity can be vaguely identified——

Youzhou guard general, Luo Gan.

Su Xian didn't look at the two soldiers lying on the ground, greeted everyone, walked out of the camp gate, boarded the carriage and drove away.

In the carriage, Su Xian seemed to hear a shrill howl, getting farther and farther away until he could no longer hear it.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Through careful arrangements by Su Xian and the full cooperation of Poison Lady, Youzhou Prefectural Government, and Youzhou defenders, they finally found the exact hiding place of the [-] Liao troops.

As expected, it is hidden in Ping'an City.

Ping'an City was a place of trade between Liang and Liao. It occupies a huge area, comparable to the area of ​​two squares in the city of Shendu. There are countless warehouses inside, where all kinds of goods are piled up.

Liao fur, medicinal materials, dried meat, cheese, etc.

Liang’s silk, tea, porcelain, ironware, etc.

There are many kinds and huge quantities.

This complicated situation provided an excellent place for the hiding of [-] Liao troops.

Su Xian remembered that the last time Zhou Ji's office and Zhou Ji were strolling around Ping'an City, Zhou Ji's office had said that at the beginning of the case, someone had thoroughly checked all the warehouses in Ping'an City, but the result was that there was nothing abnormal.

Now it seems that the warehouse where the [-] Liao soldiers are hiding must be weird, and they must have received the wind in advance!

This shows what?
It shows that there are people in the yamen in Youzhou or in Ping'an City who visit Liao and provide various kinds of help to the hiding Liao army.

In the past three days, based on some clues, Su Xian and the others successfully identified the mastermind behind Tongliao——

Ping An City City Order!
This person was hidden very deep. Not to mention that the governor of Youzhou and Zhou Ji's Office did not find out about his problem. Even Lady Du, the head of the inner guard Youzhou Hall, did not know that this person had secretly visited Liao.

This time, if they hadn't followed the clues with some evidence, Su Xian and the others might not have been able to pinpoint this person.

This morning.

The restaurant where he stayed was in Su Xian's room.

Su Xian, Yan Dashan, and Zhou Ji's office were all there, gathering together. They were waiting for Yang Zhilan's return. Su Xian's face was full of worry.

"My lord, don't worry, Miss Yang is very skilled, she will be fine!" Yan Dashan persuaded.

"But Zhilan has been there all night. Even if the warehouse where the [-] Liao troops are hiding is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, there should be a result..."

The worry on Su Xian's face became heavier again.

Yesterday afternoon, they found out that the hiding place of [-] Liao troops was in certain warehouses in Ping'an City.

But out of caution, Su Xian wanted to send someone to confirm and obtain more information before making corresponding arrangements.

Yang Zhilan is the best candidate.

Su Xian also trusts her very much.

After nightfall yesterday, Yang Zhilan put on her night clothes and disappeared into the night.

According to her skills, she was just observing and confirming in secret, not annihilating them. It must not be difficult, and she would be back at midnight at the latest.

However, until the sun was bright, the next morning, Yang Zhilan had not returned.

Su Xian was worried.

He had sent someone to pick him up, but it was quiet outside the warehouses, and Yang Zhilan was nowhere to be seen. At this stage, he couldn't alert the snake, so he could only wait for her to come back.

"Su Wenxue, don't be anxious..." Zhou Ji's Office also advised.

"Son..."

Yan Dashan was about to continue to persuade, but as soon as he said two words, his eyebrows moved, he suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the window, and said happily:

"came back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and ran quickly to the window.

In his opinion, even if Yang Zhilan could come back, she was probably injured and struggled to come back, so he subconsciously ran over to prepare for support or treatment.

Su Xian also stood up suddenly, with a hint of joy on his worried face, and ran towards the window, followed by Zhou Ji's Office.

At this time, a black shadow flashed outside the window, and a vigorous and petite figure shot in and rolled to the ground without making any sound.

"Miss Yang!" Yan Dashan shouted. When he saw Yang Zhilan rolling to the ground, his thoughts became clearer. She must be injured!

So Yan Dashan bent down and stretched out his hands to help.

"Zhilan!"

Su Xian also shouted, because he was very relieved to see Yang Zhilan return, but his reaction was not as fast as that of Dashan, and he was still running halfway.

Yang Zhilan rolled around on the ground twice, relieved the force of her leap, and then rose up with a strong body.

Yan Dashan stood aside, stretching out his hands and bending down, but he got up immediately without his help at all.

He was stunned for a moment. He couldn't take his hands back, nor could he move forward. He was stuck there in great embarrassment.

Yang Zhilan didn't look at him. She stood up and faced Su Xian who was running towards him, and said calmly:

"Young master, I'm back!"

"It's good to be back." Su Xian had already run close, looked up, down, left, and right carefully, seeing that she was not injured, felt relieved, and then asked:

"Why are you back now? Are you injured?"

"no!"

"First come and sit down, have a sip of tea, and then talk slowly."

"..."

With Yang Zhilan's explanation that was as precious as gold, Su Xian and the others finally understood why she had been gone all night and didn't come back until now.

It turned out that Yang Zhilan completed the task very easily after setting off yesterday, and it only took less than half an hour.

Sure enough, there was something wrong with those warehouses, and there were many Liao troops hiding in them... This is certain.

However, Yang Zhilan, who had just turned around and was about to return, suddenly noticed something strange. A woman dressed as a maid actually entered those warehouses.

There is definitely something wrong with this maid!
Yang Zhilan should stay in the dark.

After the maid came out, she followed her all the way. Unexpectedly, she figured out how Nalan Yan commanded these Liao troops from a distance...

A few days ago, although she was closely monitoring Nalan Yan, she never understood the matter out of concern of alerting others.

Last night, she tracked backwards and unexpectedly figured it out.

This was a very important clue, so Yang Zhilan forgot about the time. When the alert came over, it was already dawn, so she hurried back.

After listening to her story, Su Xian nodded and said:
"I see, this is a very important clue. Keep monitoring, maybe we can intercept the content of their exchange!"

"Yes."

Yang Zhilan nodded and agreed.

Then, Su Xian got up and stretched.

Then he said with a relaxed smile: "We have found the exact hiding place of the [-] Liao army. The mission is completed!"

When Zhou Jishi and Yan Dashan heard this, their expressions changed. They always felt that Su Xian was about to give up his position. Zhou Jishi asked, "What does Su Wenxue mean?"

With a faint smile on his face, Su Xian looked back at him and said with a smile:

"At the beginning, the mission I received from the princess was to find out the hiding place of the missing [-] Liao troops. Now that we have found out, we can go back and report back to the princess!"

"Master, we..." Yan Dashan hesitated. He thought that the next task was to find a way to wipe out the [-] Liao army.

"Su Wenxue, you..." Zhou Jishi wanted to say something, but finally kept his mouth shut.

Su Xian looked at Yang Zhilan and ordered:

"Zhilan, you stay in Youzhou and continue to monitor Nalanyan, as well as the arrangements we discussed before, you can also start."

"Although my mission has been completed, in order to prevent the situation from changing, necessary arrangements must still be made."

"As for me, I will go back to Yingzhou first and pay my respects to the princess!"

"..."

Yang Zhilan pursed her lips slightly, her face expressionless, and a trace of resistance flashed in her bright eyes. She wanted to stay by Su Xian's side.

Because her family knew about her affairs, she didn’t have much time left...

Seeing this, Su Xian sighed slightly, and said earnestly:

"Only if you stay in Youzhou can I rest assured. I promise you, we will leave Youzhou together before the princess sends an army to encircle and suppress you!"

"it is good."

Yang Zhilan hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded slowly.

Su Xian looked at Yan Dashan again and ordered:

"Da Shan, go and prepare. This time you will follow me back to Yingzhou."

"Yes!"

Yan Dashan glanced at Yang Zhilan guiltily, then fled out of the room and made arrangements to return to Yingzhou.

Soon, the carriage and horses were all ready. Su Xian waved goodbye to Yang Zhilan, Zhou Jishi and others, got into the carriage resolutely, and set off...

Time flies by like a flash, and in the blink of an eye it's two days later.

Yingzhou.

Camp in the north of the city.

The princess sleeps in the tent.

It's late afternoon, the temperature is rising, and the birds are chirping, making people drowsy.

In the temporary palace of Lanling Princess Li Youqing, there is a lingering scent of sandalwood and a cool breeze. Li Youqing is lying on her side on a low bed, her figure is slender and undulating, her eyes are gently closed, and she is taking a nap.

The Qiu Dian Army and the Winter Dian Army were waiting by the side, holding fans, sending bursts of cool breeze to Li Youqing and driving away mosquitoes, so that the princess could sleep more comfortably.

Suddenly, Li Youqing's brows trembled slightly while he was sleeping, his eyelids moved slightly, and he saw that he was about to wake up.

Next to the squat, Qiu Dianjun, who was holding a round fan, noticed this scene and hurriedly glanced at Dong Dianjun next door.

Dong Dianjun stood up, walked to the small coffee table aside, held a jade pot in his hand, poured a glass cup of strong tea, placed it on a tray, and carefully delivered it to Li Youqing.

At this time, Li Youqing's eyes had opened, and he was rubbing his eyes gently, then stretched, and made an intoxicating murmur, as if he didn't want to get up.

However, she is not an ordinary woman after all, with a firm mind, after stretching, she slowly got up with the support of Qiu Dianjun, and sat on the low floor.

"Princess, please have some tea." Dong Dianjun brought the tray.

"Ah."

Li Youqing nodded gently, held the glistening glass cup with her bare hands, and took a sip of the strong tea. Most of the tiredness after waking up from the lunch break was gone.
