Chapter 212 Social Death

Song Tingfeng’s voice was a bit odd, surprised with urgency, and if I had to describe it, it would probably be: wife, come out and see God!

It’s that tone.

Xu Qi’an put the account book into his bosom and took the lead to go out, while Zhu Guangxiao put on his boots nimbly and followed out the door.

In the hall of the stagecoach station, a wonderful young girl in a light blue power suit sat at the table drinking tea. The close-fitting clothes and pants outlined a female panther-like body, with the cuffs tied and her hair still in a high ponytail.

The no-frills attire emphasizes her panache and handsomeness.

Obviously is the valiant beauty of the army lady …. How do you look like the Holy Maiden of the Taoist Heavenly Sect …. The master’s door let her too much forgetfulness, the result is that you have become a generation of heroine who is anxious and righteous …. Xu Qi’an spat in his heart, smiled on the surface, and said

“General Li, hello again.”

This kid s dark circles have deepened again…his mental state is not good …. It should be that he has had his essence sucked by the charm. Li Miaozhen’s pair of clear, bright eyes scrutinized him and nodded, “Lord Xu.”

Xu Qi’an sat down opposite her, with Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao on his left and right, and the postman came forward to pour the tea and retreated again.

Neither side was in a hurry to speak, each with their own thoughts.

She should have come for the Phantom, and the delay in getting the Phantom s return order, knowing that something had gone wrong …. Xu Qi’an sipped his tea and pondered, thinking about how to respond.

Give Phantom back to her?

Do not want to give up ah, so beautiful paper man wife, just look at it is very pleasing to the eye, he also thought to bring the capital to Suzume to open the eyes.

Also, the possession ability is useful and applies to many situations and circumstances.

“Several adults…” said Li Miaozhen, rubbing her teacup and phrasing her words, “Have you seen a girl named Susu yesterday?”

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao looked over fiercely.

Here it comes, the time for the public execution of the two little old brothers has come …. The corner of Xu Qi’an’s mouth quirked, “I’ve seen it before, and she has formed a difficult bond with two of my fellow officers.”

Hearing this, the three of them had different expressions. Song Tingfeng glanced at Zhu Guangxiao and said, “Obviously, it’s a difficult bond with me, what does it have to do with Zhu Guangxiao, the stuffy gourd?

Li Miaozhen, on the other hand, swept over the faces of the two gongs with some pity, listening to Xu Qi’an’s words, Su Su must have squeezed the essence out of the two.

However, she was more and more certain that “Phantom” was in Xu Qi’an’s hands, otherwise he wouldn’t have said such words.

“I’m sorry, it’s because I didn’t think things through well, I wonder if Your Excellency can return her to me.” Li Miaozhen said sincerely.

“Designing to victimize imperial officials and extracting confidential information, this is a capital offense ah General Li.” Xu Qi’an narrowed his eyes and said with a smirk.

Li Miaozhen calmly locked eyes with him, not defending or getting annoyed, and seemed to have completely disregarded the Da Bong Laws.

Xu Qi’an suddenly realized that Number Two was a cynic, and despite her chivalry, she couldn’t hide the fact that she was a chivalrous person who violated prohibitions with her martial arts and was extremely hateful to the irresponsible Emperor Yuan Jing.

Most importantly, Number Two was a fifth-ranked expert. To her, everyone here is trash ….

Have to change the attitude …. Xu Qi’an dismissed the idea of using his power to oppress people and take Su Su for his own use, and laughed out loud:

“However, this official is not the kind of unforgiving, everything can be discussed. The main thing is to respect General Li for the love of power generation, more than a year, all over the place to run to fight bandits, this for the country for the people’s feelings, make this official sweat.

“However, this official is very attracted to Miss Su Su, can General Li cut me off?”

Xu Qi’an intends to bargain, geeks know that paperboy wives can’t be seen or eaten, but it doesn’t stop them from loving it.

Li Miaozhen sniffed and frowned, ”Although Phantom is a high-level grievance spirit, it cannot survive long by itself, unless it keeps ingesting essence, in the long run, it will lose its mind and turn into an uncontrollable monster.

“The only way to maintain her original form is to follow me, you are not a Taoist disciple and are not proficient in such secret arts, keeping her around is only harming others and yourself.”

There’s a big difference between her real life image and her online image …. Online was more lively and cynical, while reality favored seriousness…well, a serious image was suitable for a leader, which was probably considered a disguise. Xu Qi’an helplessly said, “Fine!”

Xu Qi’an said to wait a moment and got up to return to his room.

Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng stare blankly, their expressions stiff as they stare at each other …. What is charm and what is ingesting essence? What are they talking about?

They just now, said…Miss Susu?

In a short while, Xu Qi’an returned with a wine pot, placing it on the table with a thud, and the eyes of the three of them then fell on the wine pot.

While Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao looked bewildered, Li Miaozhen squinted her eyes and recognized that the engraving on the wine pot was a Taoist Spirit Sealing Talisman.

Xu Qi’an uncovered the lid of the pot, the next moment, curls of green smoke floated up from the mouth of the pot, transformed into a thousand beautiful beauty, she first glared fiercely at Xu Qi’an, angrily rebuked:

“Stinky man, Lun Jia is going to starve to death…”

Immediately after she saw Li Miaozhen, her little face instantly brightened, but then she quickly made an aggrieved face and cried:

“Master, you have to do it for me. This brat bullied me and insulted me, if you come any later, I’ll be pregnant with his sinful seed, oooh oooh oooh ….”

Miss Susu…Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng got cold in January and stiffened inch by inch.

Bang!

Li Miaozhen put the lid back on the pot and nodded, “Thanks to Lord Xu’s magnanimity, I owe you a favor in this matter, and if there are any requests in the future, feel free to mention them.”

Only then did Xu Qi’an reveal a smile, “General Li is polite.”

The promise of number two is still worth its weight in gold, and trading a charm you can’t keep around for long for a promise is earned.

He escorted Li Miaozhen out of the post, and when he reached the door, he asked, “With General Li’s status and cultivation, I don’t think there’s a shortage of a chimera, right?”

Li Miaozhen deliberated, “Phantom is not an unusual ghost, it must be a woman born in the Yin year and the Yin month, and still be a virgin body after death, in order to refine into a phantom.”

What year and month is the yin year and yin month? Xu Qi’an smiled and nodded, pretending that he understood.

“But,” Li Miaozhen turned her words around and picked up the corner of her mouth, “even raising a dog raises feelings, right?”

Xu Qi’an smiled, and the atmosphere between the two was no longer so formal and rusty.

Li Miaozhen took the opportunity to offer, “Can Lord Xu send me on another journey?”

Xu Qi’an returned a warm smile, “With pleasure.”

After saying that, he looked back and saw Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao sitting motionless, their backs lonely and forlorn.

“Let’s go!” Xu Qi’an’s smile grew wider.

Walking forward along the spacious street, Li Miaozhen carried a silver spear on her back and a long sword on her waist, the heroic posture of her stride was extremely moving.

Xu Qi’an twisted his head frequently, surveying the face of this Heavenly Sect’s Holy Maiden, whose temperament always reminded Xu Qi’an of the policewoman he had a crush on when he was studying at the police academy.

Short, ear-length hair, pretty features, clean face, long, straight legs in camouflage pants.

Compared to that police academy schoolgirl, Xu Qi’an brainstormed for a while, and still felt that Li Miaozhen, who had a white horse and a silver spear, a scarlet cape, and wore soft armor, was more superior.

Li Miaozhen faintly said, “Lord Xu, children of the jianghu don’t have to stick to the smallest of details, but I’m a girl after all, and it’s too rude for you to stare at me like this.”

Yuck, this man is really a colorful man.

If colorful embryo was the impression when they first met at the banquet, then now, Li Miaozhen’s label for Xu Qi’an changed to: uncomplicated colorful embryo.

It feels like it’s going to be hard to reverse the impression that I’m a colorful person …. The wind review is victimized …. Xu Qi’an’s smile remained unchanged: “General Li resembles a deceased friend of mine.”

Bah! Li Miaozhen cursed in her heart and put a smile on her face, “This Baidi City is full of flowers, but Lord Xu walked all the way with the governor, and I’m afraid that the desolate scene is not rare.”

“Saddening indeed.”

“Normally, a state capital commanding division has between 20 and 30 guardhouses under its jurisdiction, but in Yunzhou, there are only 15 guardhouses under the jurisdiction of the capital commanding division. Do you know why this is?” Li Miaozhen asked herself:

“Because Yunzhou is sparsely populated and has serious banditry, it is simply impossible to massively cantonize troops; without soldiers, how can we fight bandits?”

According to the military system of the Dafeng, at the level of prefectural capitals below the capital commanding general’s office, “guards” were established, with each guard having 5,600 men. The counties below the prefectures have “stations”, each with 1,100 men.

It was not unheard of for states to have a total of only 15 guards, but Yunzhou was a serious area of banditry, so it was logical that there should be more than 25 guards for the armament to be considered qualified.

“All that’s needed is to reclaim good land, and the army usually farms it itself, so it should be able to be self-sufficient.” Xu Qi’an said.

The capitals of each region owned military fields, and when the army was not fighting, it did the same work as the farmers.

Li Miaozhen glanced at him, “What about the military pay?”

…Xu Qi’an said, “Shame shame!”

Come to think of it, to be a soldier is to pay the army salary, not to have food is enough, the more soldiers recruited, the more the army salary, if you can’t afford to pay the army salary, the army said to make trouble, make trouble. The history books are full of such examples.

“I’ve been here in Yunzhou for more than a year, and I’ve cooperated with Capital Commander Yang Chuannan to fight bandits more than twenty times, and each time he did his best. I don’t believe such a person would collude with bandits.” Li Miaozhen looked at Xu Qi’an with a serious expression:

“Lord Xu is an important figure in this investigation, and your attitude determines the attitude of the governor. I hope you can handle this matter with care.”

“General Li is too kind, I’m just a small gong.” Xu Qi’an appropriately displayed a “taken aback” look.

Li Miaozhen frankly said, “I have investigated Lord Xu, and I think I am still familiar with you.”

For example, you are well versed in investigating cases, such as your affair with a number of flower girls in the Church Department…

“It seems that Lord Xu has a cousin who is studying at the Yunlu Academy?”

Jiro really does suspect Three …. Doubt that Er Lang is the enthusiastic scholar number three …. I might as well use this opportunity to widen the misunderstanding. Anyway, Jiro is in the academy and No.2 is in Yunzhou, a hundred thousand miles apart. …. This way I can use Jiro’s “love of incense” to win the trust of No.2 …. Anyway, I can’t expose my own identity, the consequences of social death are too terrible… Xu Qi’an said with a smile:

“Yes, Resignation is a scholar full of ambition, highly regarded by the great Confucian scholars of the Cloud Deer Academy, and is said to be trained as the academy’s inheritor.”

Cultivating as an inheritor ….. No wonder Number Three knew so much about the layout of the Cloud Deer Academy and knew all that confidential information…Li Miaozhen nodded in a daze and laughed:

“Lord Xu is equally passionate and chivalrous.”

The attitude had obviously changed, and it seemed that Aiya also had a slight favorable impression of Xu Qi’an.

…I’m going to say this at this point: the thousand-dagger Yuanjing Emperor! Number 2’s favorability towards me will explode, right?

After a few moments of conversation, the two men said their goodbyes, one continuing onward and the other turning back.

Li Miaozhen found a secluded alley, took out a wine pot, erased the spirit sealing talisman, and released Su Su. Then she popped out a paper figure and gave her a charging attachment.

The paper man transformed into a delicately made up Susu girl with a sad face, “Master ….”

Li Miaozhen stared at her and asked, “What did you tell him?”

Xu Qi’an was able to break her identity as a disciple of the Dao Sect with a single word, obviously torturing the information from Su Su.

Su Su raised her hand, her thumb pinching her pinky, and signaled, “Just a little bit.”

“How much is a little bit?”

“A little bit is a little bit.”

“Say!”

“did not say anything ah, is your identity ah, age ah, cultivation ah, down the mountain experience ah ….”

“?”

A big question mark appeared in Li Miaozhen’s mind:

“You’re not all accounted for here.”

“I at least didn’t tell him the day you came to the Deck.”

“….”

….

Xu Qi’an returned to the post and saw Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng still sitting there, staring at each other with eyes filled with distrust of their companions.

“Why didn’t you tell me about you and Suz.”

“You didn’t say that either.”

Seeing Xu Qi’an return, Song Tingfeng looked at him with a listless gaze, “Ning Yan, you knew about Su Su’s identity long ago?”

“I know.”

“Then why didn’t you tell us.” Zhu Guangxiao said in a deep voice.

“You’re the ones who told me to keep it a secret.” Xu Qi’an shrugged.

The way Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao looked at him was instantly filled with distrust.

“Then what happened between us and Su Su in the teahouse…” asked Song Tingfeng in a low voice.

“It’s all your illusions!” Xu Qi’an answered truthfully.

“Phew…” both of them breathed a sigh of relief, so it was just an illusion.

Song Tingfeng smiled as if relieved, “It’s an illusion, ah, then it’s nothing. I was just mesmerized and passed out.”

Xu Qi’an looked at them compassionately and shook his head, “You were caught in an illusion, but you are not unconscious.”

“Not unconscious?” Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng’s hearts sank.

Xu Qi’an came to the pillar and said in a deep voice, “Tingfeng, you were like this…”

He hugged the post and made a mad dash for it.

Song Tingfeng: “….”

“Hirotaka you do…” he came to the table and pressed his hands against the edge, selling his back.

Zhu Guangxiao: “…..”

“Hehe, why are you two burrowing under the table.” Xu Qi’an finished and realized that Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng had burrowed under the table and refused to come out.

“Xu Ning Yan you get out…you go, please, you go, I don’t want to see you today.” Song Tingfeng squatted at the bottom of the table, holding his head.

“Hahahahahahaha ….”
