Chapter 83 – I Hate Porcelain

Wei Quan, the governor of Shaanxi, broke out in a cold sweat when he received a flying letter from the Jin Yi Wei stronghold in Xi’an City.

He knew that the Brocade Guards in some of the towns near the border with the secret sentries, but did not expect, Xi’an’s secret sentries are located in his eyes, in the Qin Lou Chu Hall he often go to the side, I do not know that he usually look for flowers and willow deeds are exposed in these dark eyes, and then passed to the capital of the high heaven? At once the heart straight drums, can only self-consolation, he did not take a bribe two do not malfeasance, on the hobby of beauty this small hobby, should not be alarmed by the Holy Hearing right? Besides, so many years are safe and sound, that the brocade guards scouts simply do not take this as a matter of fact, he also do not have to scare themselves.

Only then settled down, in accordance with the will, immediately opened a transfer order, sent to the Commanding General’s Department, ordered a thousand elite troops, led by a Commander Commander Commander. This commander’s name is Sheng Qianxing, is in the early thirties of the rich and powerful, involved in the fight against bandits, but also with the Tartar cavalry fought and killed, quite experienced in combat. Wei Quan was uneasy and personally instructed him to ensure the safety of Imperial Commander Su, or else his head would be brought to him.

Sheng Qianxing led the order and led the troops to Yan’an by starry night, but unexpectedly pounced, Su Imperial has already left for three days.

Su Yan in the ringing horse thief prison night to solve the Yan’an, see the guards sent troops stationed in the city, think is not going to rise again what big waves, after a day of rest, will be to Zhou Zhifu farewell.

Zhou Zhifu advised him to recuperate for a few more days, after all, after a serious illness, the body is still a little weak, not suitable for carriage bumps.

Su Yan politely refused: “and then recuperate, lazy bones are raised out, more do not like to move. Shaanxi has so many state capitals, Yan’an is only the first stop.”

Zhou Zhifu originally deposited the mind of bashfulness, and after a night of suffering with him, but also gave birth to a few sincere feelings to, so the back garden of the beloved spices picked, personally cook for him to do a few local dishes, make and numb and spicy.

Su Yan mixed tastes, not no spicy people, but every once in a while to commit spicy addiction, forced to eat a few days of porridge and small dishes, craving, despite the medical advice to play back to the teeth, and finally took away two bottles of Zhou Zhifu personally made yellow mustard sauce.

On the table, Governor Zhou asked, “Is Lord Su going to Qingyang City next? Or Xi’an City?” After all, Qingyang is the closest to Yan’an. And Xi’an is the most prosperous and where the governor’s office is located.

Su Yan shook his head, “Nonetheless. Which city is not going, I’m going to go to the Supervisory Court and the major pastures, on a field trip.”

Zhou Zhifu heard, I believe that he is a real hand to rectify the official pastoral, otherwise how to go to the capital city, prefer to go to the side of the remote field to eat the wind and sand? He poured a cup of Huang Gui thick wine for Su Yan, not without admiration, said: “I wish Su adults all the best.”

Su Yan gave his thanks and raised his cup to drink. Jing Hong, who was guarding the door of the hall, coughed. Su Yan turned his head towards him and smiled, “I know, the doctor said that it is not advisable to drink alcohol in the near future. Just a small cup of farewell wine, meaning.” Jing Hongchu was not happy with him drinking, but not good to persuade in public, afraid of thinning the face of the adults, only cold face did not say anything.

Governor Zhou stroked his whiskers and laughed: “The imperial historian’s guards are so powerful. When my wife was in charge of me, it was almost the same face.”

“The family servant doesn’t know how to be polite, so I’ve made Lord Zhifu laugh.” Su Yan was a bit embarrassed, and after drinking the wine and entrusting the seriously injured jin yiwei to Zhi Fu Zhou’s care, he got up to take his leave.

Out of the government office, see two boys and nineteen brocade guards have long been ready to go. Jing Hong chased after himself to catch the car, was pulled into the carriage by Su Yan, so he sat upright holding his sword.

Su Yan pulled out a packet of pine nuts candy and placed it on his thigh, asking with a smile, “Angry? Is it because I didn’t follow the doctor’s advice, or because I was compared to a housekeeper’s wife?”

A suspicious red color swept across Jing Hongchu’s cheeks as he whispered, “It is my subordinate who has overstepped his bounds and should not have interfered with Your Excellency.”

Su Yan waved his hand, “This is not called interference, it is called concern. This person of mine, you also know, is not a self-disciplined person, delicious and lazy, beside me, I need a housekeeper, to help hang on to the cliff when I’m off the reins, hahahaha ……”

Jing Hongchu was even hotter in the ears now, and gritted his teeth, “Your Honor, don’t make fun of my subordinates again!”

Su Yan knows that this former assassin looks cold and silent, eyes with brake, in fact, thin skin is very thin, can not stand flirting. And when they face him, but also love to tease words, see him secretly annoyed and seizure not out, as a pleasure, is a very bad hobby.

But teasing is teasing, but also have to stop when it’s good, otherwise really make people angry, may be like the first time to call people “concubine” then, all day to avoid him, do not talk to him.

So Su Yan put away the bantering smile, positively said: “is not to make fun of, I really think that this trip fortunate to bring you, otherwise there can be bitter to eat. Prison robbery that night, also thanks to your good hands, in order to save the governor Zhou them, you can’t be faulted ah, a chase.”

“It is the credit of the adults.” Jing Hongchu’s tone was firm, “My subordinate is just a sword in your lord’s hand, wherever your lord points, the sword stabs to wherever, the one who sets the strategy and makes things happen are the sword holders, not the sword.”

Su Yan reached out and patted his arm, “You used to be the fastest and sharpest sword. But since you’ve left the identity of an assassin, I hope you’ll no longer treat yourself as a killing tool. You have your own needs, preferences and ideals, so you should express them directly and go after whatever you want. After all, staying by my side is only a stopgap measure, and you still have your own path in life to follow.”

Jing Hongchou held his sword without saying anything, his face even worse, his eyes only staring at the grain of the felt on the floor of the carriage.

Su Yan introspection, think just that the words did not say the wrong place, but I do not know why the other side angry again, can only be snappy retracted hand, thought: hemp egg, temper is getting bigger and bigger, said good Tianluo girl to return the favor – uh no, it is the intimate and loyal dog little guards it? It is all because I give spoiled.

He blamed himself for spoiling people, but at the same time, he was secretly happy that Chui was becoming more and more human than when he first met him, and was no longer just a cold-blooded killer dominated by hatred.

Thought and smiled, Jing Hong chased: “Well, I let you control is not good, the recent diet light not to drink, and try not to stay up late, love the body, pay attention to safety, what else?”

“…… No more.” Jing Hong chased stiffly.

Su adults in his mind nearly perfect, from appearance to character, from knowledge to broadmindedness, all of them do not make him love and admire, and even a little ashamed of themselves. Even the occasional capriciousness and naughtiness, but also feel that it is a young man’s spirit, should be taken care of.

Only in the “not enough to cherish their own” aspect, so he could not help but to nitpick bones, out of words to discourage. After persuasion and vaguely regret, worried about the suspicion, causing Su adults are not happy, but the mouth is clumsy, can not say what sweet words to please each other, can only be silent.

–This is a terrible disposition, and I’m afraid no one but my sister could stand it, let alone like it. He thought with a stiff, cold face.

“Then don’t sulk your face la, come on, smile and eat a candy.” Su Yan handed the packet of candy to him.

Jing Hongchou didn’t have a sweet tooth and shook her head no.

“Eating something sweet will put you in a better mood, saving me from having to look at stinky faces all the way.” Su Yan picks up one without saying anything, leans forward and stuffs it into his mouth, “Don’t worry, I just washed my hands after the meal, cleaner than you.”

Jing Hongchou could easily dodge Su Yan’s movements, but for some reason sat in place and didn’t move, allowing the other party to shove the candy over. Lord Su’s fingertips grazed his lips, smooth and warm, and as he bit into the sweet, greasy pine nut candy, his cold, sharp brows couldn’t help but become a little softer, and his heartbeat was a little disorganized.

Su Yan also threw one into his mouth, chewing, chewing, think or Prince sent “with bone abalone snail” is more delicious, but unfortunately have to wait for the return to the capital to eat again.

Carriage bumpy driving, Su Yan eyes fluttering, nostalgic for the people and things in the capital, can not help but think of the zhangbiao and letters he sent, I do not know if they have received it, and how they will react.

Jing Hong chased him to see him soulful, holding the paper bag in his hand, and the sugar nearly spilled, reaching over to pinch the opening tight.

At the same time, Su Yan returned to his senses, busy reaching out to press the paper bag, and in turn, pressed the other party’s hand squarely on his thighs, and laughed awkwardly.

“…… subordinate offense.” Jing Hongchou expressionless draw back his hand, through a layer of thin shirt felt Lord Su’s body temperature, as well as the firm and elastic muscle touch underneath the thin shirt, the bottom of his heart panicked, ghostly want to offend a little bit more, and then immediately spit on his own beasts of burden.

Lord Su wasn’t offended by the personal guards, but because the carriage had a big bump, the whole person was thrown straight down and was offended to the point that his balls hurt.

He sighed and ate another candy, and his mind mistily thought: after half a month of upheaval, his buttocks are about to bloom, and he doesn’t know how long he will have to sit in the carriage for the rest of the day……. If we can get the bearings out, and reduce the friction of the wheels, then we can increase the speed of the car……. And then we can get the rubber tires, the The car body will be much more stable …… Unfortunately, the rubber tree is only found in Vietnam, well, it’s the Jiao Tong side, and can’t be transplanted, so it’s difficult …… Compared to the bearings, it seems to be a bit easier ……

–

Sandy winds rolled in from the northwest and the street was covered in a layer of gray and disheveled, made even more desolate by a ramshackle house at the end.

Li Si and his two colleagues lost the bet on the leaf play, so he had to take off his hat, change a rough shirt, cursing out the door. Throwing the door a little too much force, only to hear a “clang”, the whole wooden door off, knocked off a corner on the steps.

After a startled moment, he scratched his nose in embarrassment and stepped forward to pick up the wooden door, jamming it hard into the frame and sort of barely settling it back in.

Of course, anyone who gives it another nudge is bound to have the door panel fall to the ground again, but it’s none of his business, depending on which of his colleagues behind him is unlucky enough to have to pay to have the door repaired – more likely no one will want to fix it, so it’s just as well to keep it stuck.

Zhang San humming a tune, walking in the street a few rounds, no gain, is displeased with the intention to go back to be scolded, suddenly saw the street at the end of a horse-drawn carriage, a bright spot in front of my eyes – to be able to afford such a spacious carriage, there are attendants behind, must be rich; body outside the body is full of dust, must have traveled a long way to the country, could it be that heard that this year’s Pingliang Border market will be I think they must have come from far away, could it be that they heard that Pingliang’s border market will be opened this year and came to do tea business?

It’s a great way to get your food for a few days!

Li Si three steps and ran over, standing on the side of the roadside stall pretending to buy food, when the carriage approaching, violently crossing out, to the horse’s hooves in front of a lie, curved body holding legs, wailed: “Oops! The horse hit someone! Bones stepped on broken, good pain ah ah ah–“

Su Xiaobei, who was driving the carriage, blanched in shock and pulled the reins violently. Not waiting for him to jump off the carriage, the two sides of the Tei Riders immediately rushed over and surrounded the person rolling on the ground, shouting, “Who is it? Why are you blocking the way!”

Li Si screamed in pain in a high voice: “The person who was injured by you guys! My leg is fractured, you will pay for the consultation and lost labor, or I will go to the court to report to the officials, so that you will be left with a tainted bottom and your business will not be able to be done!”

Su Xiaobei jumped off the carriage, panicked and angry, “Obviously it was you yourself who suddenly leaped out from the roadside, I didn’t even feel the horse hit anyone, so why should we pay for it!”

“It’s not like you’re the one who got hit, of course you don’t feel it.” Li Si said, crying loudly, “In broad daylight, the carriage hit someone! After hitting it, you still want to escape, where is the justice of heaven ……”

Immediately, one of the guards frowned and drew his sword: “Get lost! Otherwise you really don’t want this leg!”

Li Si nonetheless do not roll away, crying louder: “escape not, but also want to kill the mouth! Folks, which kindly help me to report an official which …….”

Su Yan lifted up the curtain to probe a look, happy: “Yo, bumper cars. Bullying me did not install a car recorder.”

Jing Hong chased, “The usual tactics of the shrewd scoundrels, my subordinates have seen a lot, let me go down to clean him up, to keep him scared shitless, no longer dare to come to extort.”

Su Yan was busy to hold down Jing Hongchou who was about to leap out of the carriage, and laughed, “It s my first time in the ancient …… well, the first time I encountered this situation, I feel it is fresh, go down to see.”

Jing Hong chased helplessly, “Those are all inferior goods, not worth your lordship’s time.”

As he spoke, a large group of watching populace gathered beside him, and the brocade guards dressed as attendants impatiently unsheathed their swords and rolled over to dismount, with a murderous look on their faces.

Su Yan looked at this situation, afraid of these in the capital yells and shouts of the great masters really be provoked out of the fire, the people cut dead and wounded, hurriedly got off the carriage, raised his voice: “Do not do it.”

As soon as Li Si saw that the rightful owner had come, and that he was still a young man with pink makeup, he immediately called out, “Private not to report to the authorities! Just ten taels of silver, private, without delaying the gentleman’s time!”

Su Yan picked the corner of his mouth and really pulled out a small ingot of silver.

Li Si stared straight at the silver between his fingers, as if two hooks were sticking out of his eyes, and couldn’t wait to reach toward him.

Su Yan threw the silver up and down a few times and threw it behind him without looking back. The silver ingot fell three feet away, rolling around, he said with a smile, “Why don’t you go pick it up? If you are late and someone else picks it up, you can’t blame me.”

The eyes of the people on the street followed the silver ingots as they rolled, and after a brief moment of stupefaction, a swarm of people drew up their legs and chased after them.

“All get out of the way! That’s my silver!” Li Si jumped up with a loud shout and ran faster than anyone else with his “broken” legs, pushing the populace in his way out of the way one by one, “Get out of the way! Who dares to touch the silver? I’m an official, I’ll send you all to the Yamen to eat planks!”

An officer? What official, touch porcelain official? Su Yan heart surprised, not waiting to make eyes it, his personal guards are very sweet swept out, a pick up Li Si, with the carry chicken like, by the way also from the crowd picked up the silver ingots, and then swept back.

Want to grab a cheap populace only feel a wind in the ear – whoosh, a shadow – whoosh, in front of the silver is gone. After stupefied, the mouth messy screaming “ghost ah!” “Ghost!” Have fled.

Jing Hong came back after carrying Li Si, and in the blink of an eye hung him upside down on the twine of the second floor clothesline pole by the roadside, and the silver ingot was wiped clean on the hem of his own coat and handed it to Su Yan.

Su Yan laughed, “You picked it up, it’s yours, take it to buy wine.”

Jing Hong chased also not polite, to the belt a stuffing. Su Xiaobei was not happy, muttering, “Just a little bit of family money, blind broad-minded.”

Su Yan pretended not to hear, paced over and asked, “What are you, and why are you touching-well, blackmailing?”

Li Si’s big head was facing down, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he only kept saying, “Pain pain pain …… my leg is really broken!”

Su Xiaobei angrily “pooh” him: “Broken my ass! I saw you running faster than anyone else when you robbed the silver!”

Su Yan instructed Chu Yuan, who had his sword drawn, “Cut off his ears, and if he doesn’t give an honest account, his nose will be cut off as well.”

Chu Yuannuo let out a cry and stepped forward with a brightly shining blade.

Li Si was terrified: “I I I I said! I’m just a gangster, I rely on this to make a living, please forgive me, I have an 80-year-old mother and a young son waiting to be fed–“

“But pull back, how old was your mom when she gave birth to you?” Su Yan pushed his head with the tip of his boot, “Just now you claimed to be an official, and there were no people to refute it, I see that they seem to be quite jealous of you. What kind of official are you?”

Li Si stammered and refused to speak. Su Yan decisively ordered, “Cut the eggs!”

Now Li Si really cried and confessed, “I am the supervisory deputy of the Lingwu Supervisor of Pingliang Yuanma Temple, with the cheap name Li Si.”

Su Yan was stunned and laughed in anger, “Supervisor deputy, from the ninth rank, also counted as a ranked official, posing as a shrew, huh?” He used the tip of his boot to kick the other person’s head, “Still touching porcelain? I hate to touch the porcelain!” In my previous life, I drove a small polo, but also by the same moncler jackets outlet, I still think of the wallet pain!

Li Si begged for mercy as he kicked him, a bulge quickly swelling on his head.

After Su Yan finished his bad breath, he ordered to put the person down and let Li Si lead the way to the Lingwu Supervisor’s office.

Li Si was held by a steel knife on his neck, he had no choice, on one hand he cursed his fate as a Tai Sui, on the other hand he topped his goose-like front head and cried and led the way to the Tai Sui Gongzi who had descended from the sky.
