Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 192 Before the National War
Time flies like water, and it has been more than half a month since Su Zhao visited the border counties of the three southern counties.

In the past half a month, Su Zhao has traveled almost all the counties under the jurisdiction of Wuzhi and Guangping counties, not only inspecting the construction of the embankment.

Combined with the materials I read in Wenyi before, after field visits, I have a more real understanding of the situation in Wuzhi and Guangping counties.

Compared with Fengle County, Wuzhi is more rich in copper, iron, gold and silver mines, and the county government has bought copper and gold mines produced by the government, but what makes Su Zhao frown greatly is that some gold and silver mines are actually taken by some Contracted by the prestige family of the county.

At this moment, the yamen of Wuzhi County——

Su Zhao's expression was gloomy, and he looked down at the governor of Wuzhi who was kneeling down to plead guilty, and asked, "Let me ask you, almost half of the mines in the county are privately owned, and even two gold mines are run by big households in the county. What are you eating?"

"I'm guilty!" The governor of Wuzhi's face was ashen-colored, his plump body in the official robe was trembling slightly, and his back shirt was already soaked in cold sweat.

Su Zhao said in a cold voice: "Come here, detain me and dismiss him pending investigation."

At this time, a few Imperial Guards from the Dianqian Division stepped forward and detained the Wuzhi County Guard who opened his mouth to argue.

"This is the number one." An An yawned from the side, and said: "From the counties of Guangping to Wuzhi, we took down four county magistrates, one county magistrate, and five or sixty criminals. , The lawless family of the county, the county's powerful, as many as a dozen families have been imprisoned for crimes, and along the way, they have become entangled with these corrupt officials."

An'an came all the way, and almost witnessed Su Zhao's purge of officials in counties and counties, and attacking counties and counties.

Along the way, officials, civilians and gentry came here in the rain upon hearing the news, those who stopped vehicles to sue, those who impeached by the censor, those who wrote letters to frame them... It can be said that one after another, they blocked the official road.

Fan Xiao snorted coldly, and muttered: "Not really, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked."

Hearing this, Su Zhao took a deep look at Fan Xiao.

Secretly, this Fan Xiao, recently, while he was busy comprehending the water god talisman and dealing with county affairs, he intentionally or unintentionally left the girl alone, and then the girl started to prick An An's side in order to attract his attention... up.

Fan Xiao felt a little uncomfortable under Su Zhao's gaze, snorted coldly, and turned her pretty face away.

Su Zhaodao: "This trip to the south, apart from inspecting the embankment, the original intention was to rectify the administration of officials, and now it is a worthwhile trip. After this rectification, the internal troubles will be cleared, and at least there will be fewer people with ulterior motives... The leading party, after all, thanks to you and Xiao'er's mother."

In the past few days, Chen Ji didn't know if she was just trying to be invisible, or she was spreading her anger on those lawless tiger officials and wolves. Less evidence of corrupt officials.

Su Zhao naturally accepted all the orders.

After dealing with the county affairs, it was getting late. After dinner, the three of them walked along the corridor.

An An wore a snow lotus-colored spun skirt, and the silver-haired girl was fair and beautiful, petite and cute, holding Su Zhao's arm, looking at the rain and fog covering the rockery and pond, and asked, "Zhao Zhao, how long will the sky change?"

Su Zhao said: "There are only ten days left. The rain has been a little less recently. I have initially refined the water god talisman. Tomorrow you will enter the Hong River with me and try to use this water god talisman to invoke the power of the water veins. Then we will Let’s go to Shijing and Tiesuo to check, and we should prepare for the upcoming battle of Zhengsu.”

Judging from the news from Dan Que and Gu Diao's couple's investigation, Zheng Guo's army has been heading to Yingyin one after another, and when the weather clears up, they will send out large numbers of troops to advance to the second pass.

The war between the two countries can be described as imminent.

On Su Zhao's side, the construction of the embankment of the Hong River is gradually coming to an end, and a steady stream of soldiers are also gathering to the three southern counties in the name of building dikes and weirs.

An An nodded, and asked curiously: "Then how to fight this battle, do you have any ideas?"

Su Zhao paused, and said, "I have some plans, I will tell you tonight."

The silver-haired girl's cheeks flushed, and she gave Su Zhao an angry look, and said, "Before a big battle, you must calm down first, you are better..."

But these days, the two of them really didn't hang out much together.

Su Zhao's complexion was strange for a moment, and he wanted to change the subject. He remembered the pure sun dew given by Li Heyuan, the patriarch of Haoyang Sect, the day before yesterday, and said, "Is the pure sun dew useful?" "

"It feels useless." An An sighed quietly.

Su Zhao was silent for a moment, then said: "Let's search slowly, there is always a way."

An An said "Hum", her delicate and lovely baby face was full of disappointment.

Su Zhaodao: "Has your cultivation improved in the past few days?"

An An's sapphire eyes were filled with surprise, and said: "Zhaozhao, it's strange to say that the aura of a white tiger used to be as slow as a snail, but for some reason, since I'm with you, my cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. It feels like I have overcome all the disasters in one breath, and there seems to be a power in you that can help me gather the spirit of the white tiger."

Hearing this, Su Zhao looked thoughtful and said, "The blood of the white tiger is the power of the four spirits..."

All sorts of guesses suddenly came to mind, the biggest reason being the Rising Dragon Cauldron.

The Rising Dragon Cauldron, if he guessed correctly, should belong to the Heavenly Emperor, and when the Heavenly Emperor ruled the world, these four spirits must also be his subordinates, and of course they may also be his enemies.

Just judging from An'an's current situation, the possibility of the emperor's subordinates should be higher.

An An pondered for a moment, and said: "Do you have time these few days, follow me back to the secret realm of Xianyuan, and follow me to see my mother."

At the beginning, when Su Zhao brought the silver-haired girl in front of him out of Xianyuan Tiandi, because the relationship between the two was just a cannon... An An didn't take Su Zhao to see his mother before it progressed to this point.

Su Zhao nodded, and said, "I'll go and have a look after the flood disaster has been overcome with the water god talisman."

In fact, he was also very curious, whether it was the reason for the ascending dragon cauldron that caused the four spirits...

In fact, the best way to solve the confusion is to wait for Taibai Jianjun to wake up next time, and ask Taibai Jianjun, an old antique, as he was a subordinate of the Heavenly Emperor back then, and the relationship between the four spirits and Shenglongding, he must be Qing'er.

When the two were chatting casually, Fan Xiao was wearing a plain pleated skirt with cloud patterns and lilies embroidered on the skirt. At this moment, she was not far or near at the back, combing her bright eyes under airy bangs. Looking at the accompanying figure in front of him complicatedly, for some reason, he felt a sense of stuffiness and sourness hovering in his heart.

I just feel like a superfluous person...

She stopped at a corner and took a deep breath. The girl looked up at the raindrops falling from the eaves. A sense of melancholy lingered in her heart. She took off the jade flute from her waist and put it on her lips. Side, but frowning, I don't know what I thought of, and I was upset for a while.

On this side, one person and one tiger walked another distance, and unknowingly walked to the door of Yiyue, An An was surprised: "Your Xiao'er, it seems that he didn't follow."

Su Zhao was stunned for a moment, but didn't turn around to see anyone coming, and said, "Maybe she went to find her mother."

A hint of sarcasm flashed across the corner of An An's mouth, and he said: "You are hot and cold, and you are playing hard to get, I am stunned for a while."

Su Zhao was silent for a moment, and said: "I've been too busy recently, but I've neglected her a little bit, it's not intentional."

"Come on, I don't know about your fancy intestines." An An said angrily, "This trick...it seems to be called a fart..."

Su Zhao's face darkened, and he refused to admit it, saying: "You have improved a lot in listening to people's voice."

What PUA, he doesn't know at all, it's easy to cut.

"Be careful not to play and collapse. I think this girl has hurt herself in the past few days. Watch out for a fire in the backyard. I will go back to take a shower and change clothes." An An said with a chuckle, stretched her waist, showing Linglong With well-curved curves, the silver-haired girl is originally a childish giant...

Su Zhao's gaze moved slightly, and he withdrew his gaze from the deep quagmire.

When An An left, Su Zhao suppressed some restlessness in his heart, and turned back.

It's not hard to find it after scanning with spiritual sense. At the moment, Fan Xiao is in a gazebo, holding a jade flute in his hand, and the fresh and sad melody is melodious and far away from the flute hole.

Su Zhao's expression was calm, and he listened carefully to the flute sound. After a long time, the flute sound paused.

"Happiness is the voice of the heart, but I don't know that Xiao'er has so many melancholy in her heart." Su Zhao said slowly, walked to Fan Xiao's side slowly, leaned on the railing, and looked into the distance.

"You..." Fan Xiao seemed a little annoyed, and said, "What are you doing here?"

Su Zhao smiled lightly, stretched out his hand suddenly, and spread out a gentle and fair palm.

A pair of stern eyes are as warm as water, but not as hot as before, only a warm smile that reaches the bottom of the eyes.

"You villain, what are you going to do?" Fan Xiao scolded, frowning.

Su Zhao didn't answer, grabbed the short flute in his palm, played with it a little, put it to his lips, and began to play.

"You will too?" Fan Xiao finally realized what Su Zhao was going to do, first he looked startled, then he looked contemptuous, and said, "You villain, what kind of tricks do you have?"

Although the two have been obsessed with each other for countless times, they don't know much about each other.

Su Zhao smiled slightly, didn't say much, and focused his attention. In an instant, a sad and melodious flute sounded, which spread far away in the vast rain and mist, and a sense of sadness and melancholy lingered.

In the previous life, the sound of a flute sounded in the girl's ears as if it had crossed two realms of time and space, asking about the regret deep in the girl's heart.

After the song, Fan Xiao's face was covered with tears at some point, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, so he asked in a daze, "What... what song is this?"

"Tian Xing Jiu Ge, do you like it?" Su Zhao handed the short flute to Fan Xiao, gently wiped the teardrops on the girl's fair cheeks, and said, "I can teach you in the future."

"I don't want you villain... um..." Fan Xiao subconsciously wanted to refuse, but before she could say the words, her mouth was filled with coldness.

But it was different from the previous kisses between the two, although they were as intense as fire, they were actually lustful and ruthless. This time, it was like tasting a glass of sweet and mellow sake, as soft as water and with a long aftertaste.

Fan Xiao closed her eyes slightly, her dense eyelashes trembling non-stop. The girl was originally a Xiaojiabiyu type, and her cheeks that could be broken by blowing bullets had two faint blush spots on them, making her look even brighter and more charming.
