Holding the tongs and stirring the charcoal basin, ethereal fireworks appeared in front of your eyes. Pei Jiaoran turned his head and looked at the sky.

"When did the governor know?" Pei Jiaoran asked.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiujing smiled and said, "I asked Feng Yuanxian to check last night. He came here just now and said that he had caught the man's legs. The man was guarding Ren Zhenjiang at Xuanquan."

"After lunch, let's set off." Pei Jiaoran's eyes moved slightly and he smiled sternly, "Catch the thief and catch the stolen goods. It's too late, maybe the thief will escape."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell into silence again. After a while, the servants brought food. After eating the food, the two took He Liang and other guards straight to the Shouqiao camp outside the city.

The time in the desert oasis is getting westward. Two horses rode side by side, with dozens of riders following closely behind them, causing dust to fly wherever they went.

"How does the governor plan to catch the thief?" Pei Jiaoran loosened his reins and slowed down his horse to ask warmly.

"The war has just ended, why shouldn't the governor reorganize the military affairs?" Li Xiujing also loosened his reins slightly and said with a smile: "Before, he only used a crossbow to warn me, but now he said that I was pretending to be sick to avoid the war. It was just to stir up resentment among the people so that Dugu Chen has the opportunity to rectify Guazhou."

Compared with the governors of other states in Hexi, he, the governor of Guazhou, had no interaction with them most of the time except for daily reporting on official business. He didn't even send people to Liangzhou to present gifts to please Dugu Chen like others.

Pei Jiaoran nodded thoughtfully and said no more.

Before nightfall, the two arrived at Xuanquan Town outside Guazhou City. This town is not large, and most of the town is occupied by military households guarding the camp. So the town is not very lively. The vendors in front of the stall heard the noise, looked up and continued to pack their goods.

At this time, Gao Bin, the general of Xuanquan Guard, had received the news from his informants.

Li Xiujing, the governor of Guazhou, came here with dozens of people, but he didn't know what his intention was.

After discussing with his subordinate, the officer surnamed Jin. Let Gao Bin wear armor and hold a horse spear, and order troops to practice in the camp's middle school field.

As soon as he ordered his troops, Li Xiujing and his party also entered the camp. Wearing a black robe, without a futou, only a jade crown tied up her hair, she has a tall and tall figure. Moreover, there was a young girl standing next to him, wearing a lotus-colored robe, a power fence on her head, and a moon-white coat. None of the dozens of people behind him were wearing armor. They were all wearing robes and jackets of the same color.

The first two are like the bright moon emerging from the clouds, and they are graceful and graceful. Although the dozens of people behind are not as graceful as the first two, they are still brave and tall. And they were wearing heavy armor and were incompatible with the visitors.

"The last general, Gao Bin, has met the governor." Gao Bin bowed his hands.

After glancing at too many high-ranking officials who were neither humble nor arrogant, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes and looked at the group of armored sergeants behind him, his eyes dark.

The smile on Li Xiujing's face became even wider, "What is General Gao Zhen planning to do with this military uniform?"

Gao Bin also smiled when he heard this, "The Tubo army invaded the country a few days ago, and although they were lucky enough to repel the Tubo, when the general came to battle, he found that there were still many soldiers in the army who were unfamiliar with their bows and horses and needed more practice. This is not taking advantage of the weather. That’s right, let’s bring them out to practice. But if we don’t expect the governor to come suddenly, it’s the fault of the last general.”

"General Gao Zhen's words are serious. Now the war has stopped, but you still don't take off your armor at night and never stop fighting. This move makes me ashamed, so how can I have the confidence to blame the town general." Li Xiujing looked ashamed, "I leaked You are here just to accompany your beautiful lady on a night outing. If there is anything rash, I hope the general will not blame you."

When Li Xiujing's words fell on his ears, Gao Bin felt a sharp edge on his back, and a chill arose from his shock. But he also felt that what this person said about taking the beauty on a night trip was not true. Then he said hurriedly: "What are you talking about, the governor? You succeeded by surprise and led the troops deep into the bandit territory to cut off the food and grass. This courage is enough to make the generals unable to match it."

Both of them were talking politely.

His eyes wandered over the two people's faces, and Pei Jiaoran's face hidden under the power fence showed surprise.

"In that case, why don't General Gao Zhen talk to me? I also want to see General Gao Zhen train his troops." Li Xiujing said with a smile.

"Please, Governor."

The two of them moved towards the general stage, with Pei Jiaoran following behind Li Xiujing. He Liang led a group of personal guards to guard around the general platform.

After giving up his position to Li Xiujing, Gao Bin stood in front. Holding the command flag, troops lined up in formation.

Against the background of the torches in the school field, the Xuanquan Town mutiny formation cooperated with the speed and tacit understanding, and the momentum of the bow and horse was also wonderful.

Pei Jiaoran looked around, with a smile on his lips.

"Go to work quickly." Li Xiujing said in a low voice.

Pei Jiaoran, who was watching with great interest, glanced at Li Xiujing. Shi Ran stepped down from the general platform and started negotiating with He Liang.

Seeing that the training of the soldiers on the field became more and more exciting, Li Xiujing sipped his tea and laughed loudly: "General Gao Zhen is really good at arranging troops. A certain person had heard that the general was quite good at Go. Before. During the Jin Dynasty, Fu Jian of the former Qin Dynasty led an army of more than 200,000 to invade the Jin territory. Xie Xuan led an army of 80,000 to march in Feishui, while his uncle Xie An was playing chess and gambling in villas in Dongshan. I wonder if the town general will imitate the ancestors and gamble in villas tonight. "

Although Gao Bin only guarded the capture in Xuanquan and performed meritorious service on horseback, he also had some connections with the Bohai Gao family. I have also heard about Xie An's Go and Gambling, but when I heard this, I couldn't help but said: "Isn't there something wrong with the governor's move?"

"How?"

"You have to have a reputation for Go and gambling. I really can't imagine how I can bet with you, the governor." Gao Bin looked solemn. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the girl beside Li Xiujing was missing, and he couldn't help but be startled.

He took a few steps forward to block Gao Bin's gaze. Li Xiujing clasped his hands and smiled, "What the general said is true. It's because I didn't think well. But I have some doubts and want to ask the general for advice."

"Excuse me, Governor." Gao Bin said solemnly.

"What if there is something detailed in the army?" Li Xiujing looked at Gao Bin meaningfully, "General Gao Zhen knew that before Tibet attacked Guazhou, he sent people to set fire to the city and burn food. Jinchang County Magistrate Pei Jiaoran realized that the thieves were well known The soldiers in the Guazhou garrison changed their defenses, and she doubted whether there was any trickery in the army."

Gao Bin frowned when he heard this, "Did the governor come to Xuanquan because he discovered something?"

"That's not true. This detailed work is hidden too deep, and I won't be able to find it out for a while." Li Xiujing sighed, "The qualifications of the general are far more than mine, and he has followed the commander in the north and south. I want to invite the general I will give you an idea on how to uncover this detail. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will be punished by the commander."

Li Xiujing lowered his head slightly, as if he was asking for advice humbly.

Looking at Li Xiujing, Gao Bin remained silent. What he heard and saw before told him that this young governor was no ordinary person. If you suddenly come to Xuanquan, you may have discovered something.

"The governor is joking. The last general is no more than a general. Even if he has followed the commander in the north and south, he still can't get an ounce of his essence. On the contrary, it is the governor who is young and promising that makes the last general admire you." Gao Bin smiled and said Ji Feng pushed Li Xiujing back.

The smile on Li Xiujing's face faded and turned into a sad look.

"The general of the town doesn't know anything. When I was young, I had a quarrel with my grandfather, and I joined the army out of anger. I have been struggling in the army until now, and I can be appointed as the governor." Li Xiujing suddenly approached Gao Bin and said shamefully: "Before this, I was I was reckless and offended Commander Ji. Now I have made such a mistake again. If I cannot atone for my sins. Commander Commander will report to the court, I will most likely be dismissed. I will be scolded by my grandpa when I go back. I hope Gao Zhen will save me. Life."
