My mom, I feel like I'm going to die suddenly. Xu Qi'an's current state is like staying up 72 hours, and then being forced to run a kilometer.

The heart thumped wildly, hovering on the edge of overload.

Fortunately, he has laid a solid foundation in the realm of Refining Essence, and has strong physical toughness and durability. In his previous life, he would have queued up in the funeral parlor... No, it should have been Xu Qi'an, who had been cultivating immortals by exploding liver. Seeing Xu Huchen staring at the beads, he seems to be irritated by his words, and he leisurely adds: "but you have to think for Lord Yang, he is still in the post station In this case, General Xu is going to give him a sentence ahead of time? "

Xu Huchen frowned, did have some hesitation, not as impulsive and violent as just now.

"General, you didn't see the case clearly. When the governor reported to the imperial court, he said that Yang Chuannan supported his troops, respected himself, and threatened with force. At that time, he would not be the governor. " After threatening, Xu Qian comforted him:

"General Li has a good relationship with Commander Du. If you don't believe me, you can always believe her."

Seeing that both sides turned their eyes to themselves, Li Miaozhen pondered and said: "the current situation is really unfavorable to both commanders and envoys, but military advice is not the right way. Don't be impulsive, General Xu. Give the governor some time. "

Yang Chuannan and she are comrades in arms. Naturally, Li Miaozhen's heart is toward Yang Chuannan. However, to solve the problem, there must be rules and regulations. If military advice is useful, Li Miaozhen has tried it for a long time.

But the problem is that they can't do it. The Du commander can only transfer the "Wei commander" under the jurisdiction of Baidi city. Although the Wei offices of other prefectures and counties in Yunzhou are under the management of Du commander, Du commander has no power to command battles. In wartime, the imperial court is a temporary commander.

Because of various restrictions, Li Miaozhen's flying swallow army came into being.

The three or five thousand troops of the "commander of the city of Wei" could not shake the authority of the governor at all. They were sacrificed in vain.

"Well! The general can wait, but if governor Zhang can't give me a satisfactory answer, even if the general agrees, his thousands of brothers won't agree. " Xu Huchen was soft in disguise.

Whoa... Done! Xu Qi'an was relieved.

When encountering this kind of contradiction, we must not be impulsive. We must know how to reconcile. It's troublesome to do it like other watchmen do.

The famous detective Xu Bai's instinct of fighting against the war will kill many people. And it doesn't have to be solved by war.

As for how to deal with the follow-up, it's up to the governor.

...

on the other side, they all command the envoys.

Governor Zhang, who had just finished the reconciliation, was still in a state of anger. He patted the table at a group of officials and scolded them angrily: "waste, it's all waste.

"That Yang Chuannan should die. Even if he is not behind the scenes, the charge of dereliction of duty can make him exile.

"So are you. You all command the commander to send military supplies to the bandits. The amount is so appalling that the whole Yunzhou officialdom is unaware of it? It's all damned. "

After checking accounts, I was shocked to find that nearly a quarter of the military supplies sent by the Ministry of industry to Yunzhou every year were missing. Crossbows, gunpowder, firearms and so on.

A group of officials bowed their heads, silently endured the spatter of governor Zhang's saliva, and did not dare to talk back.

After spitting fragrance, governor Zhang took a sip of his tea cup and was about to start the second half when the sound of his hasty steps came from outside.

Without notice, a gong stormed in and said in a high voice:

"governor, the White Emperor's city is under the jurisdiction of the guard. The Guard commander Xu Huchen led 3000 troops to gather outside the South City and threatened that if you don't release people, they will enter the city."

Entering the city is a euphemism, which is actually attacking the city.

Governor Zhang stood up in surprise, and there was a commotion among more than ten officials.

"When did it happen? What's the situation now? " Governor Zhang asked.

"Then Xu Huchen said that he wanted you to meet him in half an hour. It's already over..." when tonggong finished, he saw a group of officials suddenly change color and added: "Xu Qi'an and his cavalry general Li Miaozhen went out of the city to negotiate. The situation is unknown at present."

Governor Zhang's scalp was numb. He didn't expect that the army of Yunzhou was so fierce and unruly.

The mood at the moment, both surprised and angry, but also anxiety and worry.

Although Xu Ningyan solved the case well, governor Zhang knew that he was a fledgling boy and had little experience in killing people, let alone dealing with unreasonable troops.

"Who asked him to go, who asked him to go?"

Governor Zhang clapped the table and roared.

The Gong said, "it was Xu Ningyan who insisted on coming out. According to the meaning of the silver gongs, he was taking Yang Chuannan to guard the city and waiting for support.

"Xu Ningyan also said that he would shoulder the responsibility."

To be fair, the strategy adopted by Xu Ningyan is more stable and correct. The imperial court usually took appeasement measures for the mutiny of soldiers, and then killed the leaders to make an example.

Try not to move if you can.

However, according to governor Zhang, this is obviously beyond the scope of Xu Ningyan's business ability."Mr. Song, inform the military department of the five cities immediately and gather forces to go to the south city. All the officers of the Yamen were sent out to maintain the public order in the city... "

governor Zhang quickly made arrangements, which reflected the quality of a governor.

...

"drive, drive..."

governor Zhang galloped his horse, and an old bone almost fell apart. He didn't even dare to complain about Jiang Lvzhong, because the cold wind would pour in, so he only dared to shout "drive".

Originally, in the arrangement of governor Zhang, Jiang Luzhong should be the first to go to Nancheng. A four grade golden gong is the most suitable for the town.

However, Jiang Lv's steady Tathagata dog refused to leave the governor. He was afraid that the governor's dog's life would be taken away by the assassins who might exist. He gave his blood with glory.

Jiang Lv's center is also worried, but not about the attack of Wei Si's army, but about Xu Ningyan's dog life.

As Jin Luo, who has been on the battlefield, he knows well that the army is difficult and unreasonable. Although Xu Qi'an is very influential in the capital, he once killed people in front of the yamen gate of the Ministry of punishment.

In fact, it's precisely because it's in the capital that we can make the leaders of the court fear the rat.

This is Yunzhou, where the banditry is serious. No matter bandits or soldiers, none of them are soft persimmons.

There is a great possibility that one will not agree.

Gradually, near the South City, Jiang Lv's ear moved. He listened attentively for a moment and said with relief, "governor, don't rush. Slow down."

Governor Zhang didn't want to speak. He ignored Jiang's words.

"The War didn't start." Jiang said.

Huh?

In a daze, governor Zhang lowered his speed, reined his horse, and changed his gallop to a trot.

"Really?"

"Well."

Jiang Lvzhong is a high-quality warrior. If there is a fierce war outside the city, he can feel it.

"It seems that the situation is relatively stable." Zhang Xun relaxed, and then looked at Xu Qi'an with new eyes: "is it Xu Ningyan who has stabilized the situation?"

Jiang Luzhong shook his head: "when you go to Nancheng, you will know."

After half a pillar of incense, they saw the outline of the city wall. Governor Zhang squinted and saw that the city defense forces at the head of the city were facing the enemy. Soldiers were ready in front of the crossbows and artillery.

Governor Zhang, with a clip of his horse's belly, galloped away, stopped at the edge of the city wall, and with the hem of his official robe in his hand, climbed the steps in a hurry.

The scarlet robe symbolizes his identity and no one dares to stop him.

"Governor, you are here at last."

At the moment of seeing governor Zhang, the thousand households with triangle eyes on the Chinese character face felt that the big stone in their heart was finally put down and let out a long breath.

Governor Zhang, who was still in a state of anxiety when he was on his way to the city, restrained all his emotions. His face was dignified and expressionless.

He stood at the head of the city and looked at it for a while. He said, "let me down in a basket."

Thousand households said: "humble position directly to open the gate, just that Causeway and ranger general is out from the gate."

If the governor had lost his guard, he would have lost his heart

Thousands of households immediately bowed their heads.

"No hanging basket, I'll take the governor down." Jiang Luzhong pressed governor Zhang's shoulder. The next moment, governor Zhang saw a flower in front of him and came outside the city. It was only ten Zhang away from Xu Qian and others.

On Xu Qi'an's side, he also noticed governor Jiang LV and Zhang. Everyone's expression is different, Li Miaozhen's expression remains unchanged, and Xu Qian's tense face is slightly relaxed.

Xu Huchen tensed his body and held his hand tightly.

The governor is not terrible. What is terrible is the golden gong who follows him.

Governor Zhang said in a high voice, "Xu Huchen, get off the horse and talk."

The commander frowned and clasped his hands on his empty hook.

"Governor!" Xu Huchen holds his fist.

"That's a lot of guts." Governor Zhang sneered, "today, even if I let Jiang Jinluo kill you on the spot, I can still suppress the 3000 soldiers behind you."

Xu Huchen did not speak.

"I'm just trying to save Yang Chuannan. I ask you, if Yang Chuannan really committed a capital crime, will you save him

"Lord Yang is innocent."

"I only ask you, save or not."

"Help

Governor Zhang burst out laughing: "you are really a bloody man. I appreciate you. It is too early to make a final conclusion on the case of Yang Chuannan. Since you believe in Lord Yang's character, I promise you that as long as Yang Chuannan is innocent, I will give him back his innocence. "

After a pause, governor Zhang suddenly turned his face and said fiercely: "but it's a capital crime for you to lead the troops without permission and to be in the city!"

Xu Huchen was unwilling to give up his fist: "if you know the crime, as long as the governor can return Yang's innocence, you can handle your humble duty.""That's all. I don't think you should act rashly. As long as you lead the team back to the barracks, I'll let bygones be bygones." Governor Zhang was tolerant.

"Since the governor has made a promise, I believe in him." Xu Huchen got the answer he wanted, turned his head and nodded slightly to Xu Qian.

Thanks to the mediation of this Causeway, things have not deteriorated to an irreparable level.

What Xu Huchen wants is a result, or a promise. I am deeply afraid that the governor from the capital will unjustly punish the commander for his merits.

At present, the governor has made a promise, and the case is still under investigation, and the commander has not been convicted.

The result is already very good.

Next, governor Zhang appeased with a kind face and put on the posture of courteous and virtuous corporal. This makes Xu Huchen flattered.

It's just like this. People don't frown when they fight in the battlefield, but once they are booed, they will feel grateful and can't be fierce.

Especially the senior officials like governor Zhang.

In the end, everyone was happy, and Xu Huchen explained to the soldiers. Governor Zhang resolved the military remonstrance and did not make any trouble.

on the way back to Qian station, Xu kua'an knew how to resolve the contradictions. Ning Yan, you have made a contribution again. "

Xu Qi'an waved his hand and didn't take over. Because he was too tired, he lost interest in the conversation.

Li Miaozhen did not follow her back to the post station, but took her private soldiers back to the barracks.

Jiang Lu said with a frown: "the governor's strategy of delaying the war can only be used for a while."

Governor Zhang sneered: "I know, Jiang Jinluo. You go to the military camp of the Department of health at night and invite a group of generals like Xu Huchen to the city. You say that I have a secret matter to discuss, which is related to the case of the commander."

Xu Qi'an's heart sank.

Governor Zhang said faintly, "when you get out of the barracks, kill all of them, and leave none."

"Governor..."

looking at governor Zhang who said he would turn over, Xu Qi'an seemed to have eaten a dead mouse. It's hard to describe his mood at this time.

Zhang Xun Fu didn't seem to hear it. He continued: "without the leader, the ordinary soldiers are just a mess of loose sand. A little comfort will be enough. Yang Chuannan's confidants are also the three or five thousand troops of the Wei Department. If this hidden danger is solved, there will be no worries in dealing with yangchuannan. "

"But there is obviously something else in this case." Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice.

"That's another matter. If you can find out, I will return Yang Chuannan's innocence. But Xu Huchen's mutiny heart is firm, and I must nip the signs in the cradle. " Governor Zhang youyou said:

"I'll send people to gather troops from all the guard stations in Yunzhou. There won't be another such thing."

The governor had the power to mobilize the forces of David.

After the explanation, governor Zhang took a look at Xu Qi'an and said with a sneer, "Ningyan, if you don't take charge of the army, the court or the battlefield, you will lose if you hesitate. If you are soft hearted, you will harm others and yourself. "

I know the truth... Xu Qian sighed silently.

Jiang Luzhong experienced ups and downs, and had no waves at all. He asked, "if you want to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the various guard stations, does the governor want to take advantage of this incident to suppress Yunzhou officialdom?"

Governor Zhang nodded slowly: "if Yang Chuannan is not behind the scenes, then the one behind the scenes is in the city. All the officials above grade four are suspected. I'll take precautions to prevent the other party from jumping over the wall. "

When he returned to the post station and drank a bowl of tea, Huben Wei, who was on duty at the gate, came in and told him, "governor, song Buzheng envoy, etc

Zhang Xun, Fu Ping and other officials met in the hall for the case of Yang Chuannan.

"Since the evidence of this case is solid, I hope the governor will make a decision as soon as possible." Song Buzheng said.

Yunzhou Prefecture magistrate and other officials echoed.

"Forced Palace" came... Xu Qi'an thought.

If the culprits were among these people, it would not be difficult to understand Zhang Xun Fu's behavior of inciting officials to force the palace after he had examined the evidence.

But some of them are in a hurry...

as soon as the army of the Department of health withdrew, they can't wait to force governor Zhang to come to a final conclusion on this case. It's really not like the operation of a wily person.

It can only show that Liang Youping has no clue and makes the other party feel on pins and needles. He wants to push Yang Chuannan out to be a scapegoat immediately. The more impatient the

is, the easier it will be to reveal it. Jiang Jiang Luo killed the generals such as Xu Huchen, and then mobilized all the guards and soldiers to come. The governor would be able to worry about it and play with him behind the scenes. So, it's enough to procrastinate right now... Xu Qi'an's thoughts flicker.

Sure enough, governor Zhang agreed to the demands of the officials, but he said that Yang Chuannan would be closely examined today, and that he would be jointly examined again tomorrow.

Anyway, let's put off today.

When you were sent away, governor Zhang drank tea and said with emotion, "we don't have much time left."

Killing Xu Huchen is the way to stabilize Yang and southern Sichuan, and mobilizing troops is the way to stabilize the backstage. After all, once the case comes to light, the other party will be doomed.Xu Qian pondered: "when Jiang Jinluo is finished tonight, we can let people disguise as Liang Youping and lead the snake out of the cave."

As soon as the words were finished, hubenwei, who was on duty, came in again and said, "governor, there are a group of escorts who call themselves Fushun escort agency outside the door. They say they want to see governor."

"Fushun escort agency?" Zhang Xun Fu frowned and had no impression of the name of the escort agency.
