three watch drums

Suizhou is divided into five counties, Changling, Changliu, Yueyang, Xiangbei and Liumu.Among them, the border gate is outside Liumu County, while the Yamen of Suizhou Prefecture is located in Yueyang. The two counties are not far apart, only half of Changling County.

Shi Panxia was born in Liumu, she looks like a weak woman, her face is always pale and bloodless, but Liumu County is located on the border, bordering on the border with Badu outside the Great Wall, basically it is an endless grassland, if you want to live here, Regardless of men, women, young or old, they all grow on horseback, and it's not a problem to eat and sleep in the open.

Su Chan's talisman can travel hundreds of miles, but when Xie Changlin is by his side, even this little thing is saved. A demon who was originally a firefly can fly thousands of miles with his wings. To be honest, it is much easier to use than a talisman.

It's just that Xie Changlin's selfishness is well known to everyone. He can easily transform a giant, but he still wants to maintain his human form. Except for Su Chan, everyone puts them in the Qiankun bag and bids farewell to his waist. Su Chan has no choice but to let him hold hands.When they arrived at the destination, apart from Shi Panxia who was used to bumpy rides, even Su Chan felt a little dizzy.

They didn't go to Yueyang first, but directly stepped into the armored army known as the "iron wall".

Half of the monks who accompanied the army were selected from the Jiantian Department, and half were in charge of Qingyuan Temple. They were not people who were in vain. Long before Xie Changlin landed, they had set up a barrier and waited for it. He was blown to pieces by the evil spirit, not even a single hair was hurt.

Xie Changlin's wings were huge, he was defiant, and after standing still, his hands were behind his back, seeing the young monks in front of him as if they were mocking incompetent ants, and a violent man in red clothes who was angry, decided to give this man who broke into the Iron Armored Army a first blow. lesson--

Xie Changlin actually didn't laugh at anything, the smiley expression on his face was purely out of joy, he grabbed Lu Lu Su Chan's hand, the man didn't break free at all, it was great news for Xie Changlin, but it's a pity that he was born with a Zhang Qianbian's face was unreasonable and arrogant, no one could misunderstand him.

"This strong man..." In order to prevent the serious matter from being said, his family started a fight, and made a fuss about stuffing this place into a place where the police are sensitive. in the middle.

Although the strong man saw that Xie Changlin was unhappy, he was not so rude that he even beat up a polite cultivator. He had no choice but to hold back his bowl-sized fist, and cupped his hands at Su Confessor, "Where did the Taoist priest come from? This is the iron armor." Among the guards, idlers are exempted from entering, and please don’t embarrass us, Taoist priest.”

"I'm calling Su Chan, these are my friends." Su Chan shook the whisk in his hand.

He originally thought that if he reported his name, this man should get out of the way, and even go to the lengths to inform the commander-in-chief or the general, but this man's face was full of innocence, as if he had never heard of the name "Lord Xian" Su Chan .

Feeling awkward for a moment, the man was still waiting for his next words, so Su Chan had no choice but to dig out again, and took out his demoted document from his bosom.Although it was a demoted document, it was well-written on the surface, and there were three large characters on it, "Letter of Appointment", which was a transfer order for Su Chan to come all the way to Suizhou to supervise the Taoist priests in the Iron Armor Camp for a period of four months.

Only then did the man come to his senses, and he said in a hurry, "My lord, please, I will inform the general." The tense atmosphere finally eased.

The commander-in-chief of the Iron Armored Army is also surnamed Su, and his first name is Su Baishi, but he is not a relative of the emperor. There were not a few civil servants and military generals who came out. In the most prosperous years, three-thirds of the court were surnamed Su. Good guy, four or five people turned their heads together when they called "Master Su".

Su Baishi's name is very literary and artistic, it was chosen by his mother, and there is another word, it was given by his father, and the name "hoe" is quite hard and simple. In addition, there is a military adviser and a lieutenant general in the Iron Armored Army. These three people are a bit like conjoined twins, where one of them goes and the other two follow.

Most of the people in Liumu County live in tents they built themselves. The Iron Armored Army stationed here naturally has its own camp, but the strong man in red is not a high-ranking official and only controls dozens of people, so the camp is naturally not big. Su As soon as Shiraishi came, Hulala felt a little crowded.

"Brother Su!" The lieutenant of the Iron Armored Army is surnamed Li Xinger, who is the second daughter of General Li and the younger sister of the imperial concubine——Li Murong.Her appearance is more beautiful than Li Muqiu's, her brows are firm and resolute, and she is also dressed as a man, but she is not as stable and calm as Su Heng, with a kind of hot-tempered style.

"Brother, Chen Sheng, this is the idle prince I often mention, Brother Su, the master of the Qingyuan Temple." Li Murong pursed his lips and smiled, showing a little girlish demeanor, and said, "Chen Sheng, my marriage with you is still Su Dao. Big brother matched it."

There is also a glazed mirror on the military commander's eye of the feather fan scarf, which looks very similar to Yan Rushuang's, probably some skilled craftsman forcibly disassembled a pair of glazed mirror into left and right parts.

Xu Chensheng is Xu Ziqing's youngest son, but he has a peaceful mind and can tell right from wrong. After a short period of grief and indignation when Su Chan blocked his elder brother from the city gate to kill him, he could understand such an approach.What's more, in recent years, he has become a military advisor of the Iron Armored Army, and he often had to sacrifice one person to save a hundred people, so he gradually understood Su Chan's state of mind at that time.

"It turns out that this is the young girl who had a crush on her back then..." Su Baishi teased, the three of them lived and died with a straightforward temperament, even if Xu Chensheng seemed to be more thoughtful, he rarely kept anything from them. So it doesn't matter if it's a joke.

"Brother, you are making fun of me again." Li Murong said, she was wearing light armor, although it was not as strong and heavy as a man's, but it was not light in weight, Xu Chensheng had been reaching out to help her, a military adviser who was powerless The adults have also started to practice some simple fists and kicks in recent years, so it's not good to let the girl you like keep oppressing them.

"Okay, why don't you two ask the lord why he came all the way here first? Just kidding, don't delay the business." Fortunately, Xu Chensheng was in charge of coordinating, otherwise outsiders would not even have a chance to intervene.

Su Chan didn't mind sitting on the side drinking tea, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and even the very faint tear mole was bent into a crescent moon shape.It's just that he was willing to wait, but Xie Changlin didn't want him to wait. If the chat continues like this, Xu Chensheng, who can read his face, feels that this man must overturn the tent.

"Excuse me, who are these?" Xu Chensheng pulled Su Baishi and Li Murong behind him. He was not good at fighting and charging, but in terms of sharpness, scheming, and coordination, the brains of these two are almost the same. He didn't notice Xie Changlin's covetous eyes.

"These two are my shikigami, Yuheng and Yaoguang. Miss Shi was born in Liumu and is familiar with this place. She is also the wife of an old friend of mine, and this..." Xie Changlin prefaced Yuheng Yaoguang After that, it was all right, even Shi Panxia was better than him, and the devil master who was so caressed felt very uncomfortable.

"This is the lord of the demon world, a distinguished guest of Da Chu, and my best friend."

Xie Changlin instantly healed all his discomfort, and even felt a little uncontrollably proud.

"..." Xu Chensheng felt that he might have been staying up late and reading for too long recently, so that he was still a little blind with the glazed mirror.

Su Chan handed the letter of appointment to Xu Chensheng, and continued, "Recently, there have been many incidents in the imperial city, and His Majesty suspected that Badu was about to move, so he asked me to come over and check carefully... Several generals are familiar with military arrangements, but there are some secrets. Only those who practice Taoism can see it."

Su Chan's words are very reasonable, just like Su Baishi still doesn't understand how a piece of yellow paper can call wind and rain.

"Then I will thank you, my lord." There is nothing wrong with the letter of appointment, and this lord of Dachu doesn't seem to be someone else's fake, at least Li Murong, who is familiar with him, didn't see any flaws, so Xu Chensheng ordered to go down and arrange a residence .

"The terrain of Suizhou is complex. From south to north, there are mountains and hills, as well as grasslands and deserts. The climate is even worse. It is often clear during the day and snowy at night. It will make the prince feel wronged." Xu Chensheng apologized. , "The camp in the army is not too strong, and occasionally it will be uprooted. If the prince encounters it, I will rearrange it as soon as possible."

"No grievance," Su Chan smiled, "When I first arrived in Suizhou, I couldn't sleep in a room with two walls and a half-roof, let alone a tent. Now I can't talk about grievances... It's just that I can't stay in the army. For a long time, the military division doesn't need to worry too much, as long as it can settle down."

"Thank you, my lord, for your compassion." Xu Chensheng bowed in a business-like manner, and pulled away the other two generals who were waiting to be discussed, and said, "Don't delay your lord's business." He glanced at Su Chan again, with a look on his face. An embarrassing reminder, "The border is not peaceful, even if the prince has something to do, it's best not to walk around at will."

A few months ago, Xu Chensheng noticed that there seemed to be traces of refugees in the area north of the border, but these traces were very dangerous, either walking with wild beasts, or being swallowed completely - but Liumu County was almost Close to the Wuming River, hundreds of miles around is a gray area, mixed with fish and dragons, neither belonging to Badu nor Dachu, the army is not allowed to enter without authorization to investigate.

The request to come to Liumu first was made by Shi Panxia. Apart from her deep worries, she didn't say a word. It wasn't until she settled down here that Shi Panxia seemed to have a little human touch. The act of turning the window into Su Chan's tent is also acceptable.

"..." With the addition of Xie Changlin who was reluctant to leave, a small tent for only one person was crowded with three people, two children and five people, and there was almost no room to sit down.

Su Chan rubbed his sore forehead, and asked patiently, "What's Miss Shi thinking?"

"Please, Lord, come with me tonight. I'm going to take you to a place." Shi Panxia pulled Su Chan up to open the window involuntarily, and his movements were so neat that even Xie Changlin could hardly stop him.
