Su Qi'an rushed out of the door, walked around several corridors, and walked out through the back door of Chunfeng Courtyard.

Su Qian's face was calm, but there was a big drop of sweat on his forehead, and he patted his chest.

Fortunately, Su Qi'an left quickly. If he continued to stay, he was afraid something would happen.

"It seems that we will have to come to Chunfeng Court less often in the future." Su Qi'an said secretly in his heart.

After identifying the direction of the inn, Su Qi'an was not far away when suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"Ah, Mr. Su is here. It's really easy for me to find him. How is Mr. Su playing there?"

Su Qi'an turned around, and behind him was none other than Captain Wang. Judging from his appearance, he must have been looking for him for a long time.

In response to Captain Wang's teasing, Su Qi'an did not answer, but asked, "I wonder why the Captain is looking for me. Is there something going on?"

Colonel Wang waved his hand and said softly, "Hey, Mr. Su was just joking. It's nothing serious."

"It's just that someone wants to see Mr. Su." As he spoke, Captain Wang suddenly came over and whispered.

Su Qi'an understood that the captain who could make this captain so solemn must be the big shot in Lingbei County.

Thinking about it, Su Qi'an was able to prosper in Lingbei County. On the one hand, he was talented, and on the other hand, he had the support of experts behind him.

When I first came to Lingbei County, I did not summon Su Qi'an. Instead, after the county examination, in addition to avoiding suspicion, it was more to test Su Qi'an's ability.

When the time comes, it's normal to meet each other. Having said that, Su Qian is also very curious about this big shot.

"Master Captain, please lead the way."

"Okay, Mr. Su, please come over here."

Lieutenant Wang smiled and led Su Qi'an the way. Although it was night, the street was extremely lively.

Captain Wang did not take Su Qi'an along the main road this time, but through the alleys.

There are many alleys, and the alleys are winding and winding. Although it is quiet, with Wang Xiaowei leading the way, nothing much happened.

The two walked in the dark alley for almost a quarter of an hour. After passing a corner, they saw a wall in front of them with a small door on the wall.

Colonel Wang pushed open the door and entered. Su Qi'an followed quickly and entered the small door. It can be said that there is a cave inside.

Rockeries, pavilions, corridors, etc. are arranged in an orderly manner. Walking onto a small bridge, there is a stream under the bridge and various flowers and vegetation are planted around it, which makes it feel quite quiet.

This should also be the Lingbei County Government Office, but it is completely different from the last time I saw it.

"It seems that this Lingbei County government office is really extraordinary." Su Qian sighed.

Passing through the corridor, after walking along a gravel road, there is a wide lobby in front of you.

The candlelight was flickering in the lobby, but there were a few people waiting early.

Captain Wang led the way and stopped about ten meters away from the lobby, and made a request to Su Qi'an.

Su Qi'an nodded, and then walked in. With a glance, there were only four people in the lobby.

There were not many people, but the aura exuded by the four people was intimidating.

These people are all important people, and Su Qi'an also knows a few of them. The one standing on the left is Master Liu, and the one sitting in the middle, looking at his clothes, is Fang Jingzhi, the magistrate of Lingbei County.

The person on the right is a young man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. To the right of the young man, a masked man stands beside him, saying nothing.

"Is that you?" Su Qian just walked in and recognized the masked man at a glance.

This person is none other than the masked man who attacked Su Qian in Dongshan Village last time.

Su Qi'an saw at a glance that Tong Zhan didn't hide anything. He took off his face scarf, stepped forward quickly, and bowed to Su Qi'an with a smile.

"Haha, Mr. Su, it's been a long time since I last saw him. I never thought that in just a short time, Mr. Su would be showing off his skills in Lingbei County, which makes Tong admire him."

Su Qian cupped her fists in return, nodded slightly, but looked at the sword-browed young man.

At this time, Fang Jingzhi stood up and greeted Su Qi'an with a smile, "Haha, Lingbei County is really lucky to have such a great talent like Xiao Su."

"Come on, Xiao Su, let me introduce you today. This is Lingdong Hou Xie Cang, and the one next to you is Xie Hou's bodyguard Tong Zhan. It seems that you have known each other before, so I won't introduce you further.

."

Listening to Fang Jingzhi's introduction, Su Qi'an's eyes were a little shocked. It was not that he had never thought about the high status of the big shot who was secretly helping him. He didn't expect that he was actually a marquis.

And seeing that he is so young, it shows that this person is really not simple.

Then again, how could this Lingdong Marquis be extraordinary if he could have a guard with such superb martial arts?

Su Qi'an was not stupid either. Soon after the introduction, Su Qi'an first offered the other party's hand in a dedicated and polite manner, and then thanked Xie Cang.

"Su is not very talented, but he can allow Xie Hou to be so helpful. Su is very grateful for this great kindness."

"At the same time, I would like to thank the county magistrate for his help. I will go on a motorcycle to express my gratitude."

After saying that, Su Qi'an respectfully faced Fang Jingzhi and thanked Cang for their respective bows.

This move of Su Qi'an made Fang Jingzhi quite satisfied. This Su Qi'an was worthy of the name of a talented man.

Not only is he talented, but he is also mentally wise. If it were anyone else, they would be so excited when they saw Xie Hou appear, and would probably ignore him as a parent.

What's more, if he wants to hug Xie Cang's thigh immediately, he, the county magistrate, will put it aside.

And this Su Qi'an was excellent at what he did and was a great person, and he really didn't disappoint.

Just because of this, Su Qian and Fang Jingzhi have to help.

Xie Cang nodded, motioned for Su Qi'an to stand up, and said politely, "Well, Mr. Su doesn't have to be like this. Mr. Su is a great talent, and he certainly did not disappoint me when I saw him today."

"If Mr. Su doesn't give up, you can call me thank you brother."

As soon as these words came out, not only Su Qi'an was shocked, but also Fang Jingzhi beside him showed a strange expression.

They could see that what Xiehou said was not a polite word, but a sincere one.

Being able to meet a marquis once and treat him with sincerity is enough to show that Xie Cang attaches great importance to Su Qi'an.

Su Qian nodded and said repeatedly, "Since the Marquis said so, Su will agree."

"Brother Xie summoned Su today. If you have anything to say, just tell him. As long as Su can do it, he will definitely do it."

Xie Cang treated him with sincerity. Su Qi'an was not the kind of ignorant person, and he said with the same sincerity.

"Haha, I just like Mr. Su's sincerity. To be honest, I am here this time to select talents for the imperial court. I will follow you on expeditions in the future."

"Going to war?" Su Qian looked sideways.

Xie Cang did not open his mouth to explain, but turned his head and glanced at Fang Jingzhi.

Fang Jingzhi said, "Xiao Su, with your intelligence, you should be able to see the unrest in various counties."

Su Qian nodded.

Fang Jingzhi continued, "In the 300 years since the founding of Daliang, foreign tribes invaded the frontiers, bandits were present inside, and mountain bandits were rampant. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was caused by internal and external troubles."

"Xiehou came to Lingbei County this time to find talents from all over the world, and you, Xiao Su, are the talents Xiehou wants to find."

"There is no need to worry about the public security of the county. It can be maintained with my parents and officials. What is dangerous now is the invasion of Da Rong from the north."

"Xiehou has been ordered to go on an expedition, so I would like to invite you to go with me."

When Fang Jingzhi said this, Su Qian also realized the seriousness of the matter.

After all, if a dynasty wants long-term peace and stability, sometimes external stability is greater than internal troubles.

It is not an exaggeration to say that things like this are top secrets. Fang Jingzhi's ability to inform Su Qi'an is enough to show that he regards Su Qi'an as one of his own.

Even if he was not one of his own, it would be difficult for Su Qian to get off the ship after hearing such military secrets.

Su Qi'an frowned slightly and asked, "May I ask Brother Xie, Fang County, when is the time for the expedition?"

"One month later." This time it was Xie Cang who answered.

"One month?" Su Qian whispered, with obvious hesitation on his face.

It's not that Su Qi'an is greedy for life and afraid of death. Now that he has become Daliang Su Qi'an, he must be responsible.

When foreigners invade, as a citizen of Daliang, we should defend our home and country, but at this time, we are really nervous.

According to Su Qi'an's plan, he would stay in Lingbei County for seven days and wait for the results of the county examination. Regardless of whether he failed in high school or failed, at least he would have an explanation for Qin Ziyin.

After that, Su Qi'an planned to return to Dongshan Village and spend two to three months to manage Dongshan Village well.

I won’t say what the results will be, but Su Qi’an can guarantee that if bandits or bandits come again in the future, they will never come back.

But Xie Cang's request disrupted Su Qi'an's plan.

Although he was very grateful to Xie Cang for his kindness, Su Qian would still choose the latter over the safety of Qin Ziyin and others.

Xie Cang could naturally see Su Qi'an's hesitation, but he thought Su Qi'an was unwilling to take risks.

Think about it, if you ask people to follow you to the battlefield just by saying a great talent, you may be in danger of losing your life, but you will get nothing by then.

I'm afraid only a fool would do this kind of useless thing.

Xie Cang said quickly, "Mr. Su is accompanying me on this expedition. I will never let my efforts go in vain. When the border troubles are settled, I promise that I will definitely let you get an earl title."

As soon as these words came out, Fang Jingzhi was a little moved. Regardless of the current five-level titles, only marquis and above have real power.

You can get a count. Although he has no real power, he can still move sideways in a county.

As long as he does not commit such a serious crime as treason, an earl, even if he is the governor of a county, has to give him some face.

Such a reward is something that many people, even Fang Jingzhi, can only dream of.

But this generous reward shows the danger of Da Rong's invasion from another aspect.

Regarding Xie Cang's promise, Su Qi'an waved his hand and said, "Brother Xie misunderstood. Su is not a so-called wealthy person. It's just that Su's next time has been arranged, so there is something wrong with this time.

conflict."

Su Qi'an did not hide it and informed Xie Cang of his plan. Of course, he omitted the specific training of the Dongshan Village villagers, but instead focused on the Dongzishan bandits who were causing trouble.

Listening to Su Qi'an's explanation, Xie Cang showed a clear expression and chuckled. "Oh, sir, this is what you are worried about. Magistrate Fang, you happen to be here too. Please lend me some soldiers and horses. After the results are released, follow me."
