After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

"Who... has seen the princess..." It turned out to be Princess Yucheng who was in disguise.

At this time, the princess was wearing a yellow dress, with only a hairpin of the same color inserted diagonally in her jet-black hair.

With her eyebrows lightly drawn and her lips lightly touched, she looks extremely pretty.

Just as he was about to bow, Princess Yucheng stopped him. Why was the princess alone?

“No need to be polite outside.” Princess Yucheng took a bite of the cucumber. Perhaps because the taste satisfied her, she narrowed her eyes slightly.

"How can Your Highness travel alone?" She didn't even wear a veil. What if she met some ignorant scoundrels on the road?

As a princess, she should be accompanied by secret guards. Su Qin looked around calmly.

"Don't look, there's one on the big tree over there." Princess Yucheng pointed to the paulownia tree about twenty steps behind her.

"I am worrying too much!" It's true. He has been in this era for more than ten years and has never seen the legendary secret guards.

"Why are you going to the Guanyin Temple? Are you praying for your wife to have a child?" Princess Yucheng threw away the cucumber butt and took out a silk handkerchief from her bosom to wipe her fingers carefully.

"Is that a temple for praying for children?" Su Qinchao scratched the back of his neck. He had only heard others say it was a magical place, but he didn't know it was a temple for praying for children.

"You didn't know you were coming?"

"It is because I did not find out clearly."

"But the vegetarian food in Guanyin Temple is very good, so your trip is not in vain." Princess Yucheng made this incognito trip just to taste the vegetarian food in Guanyin Temple.

She had been away from Beijing for more than ten years, and there were many things in Chang'an that she missed, and the vegetarian meal in the Guanyin Temple was one of them.

Originally, she planned to enjoy the beautiful scenery of early summer by herself, to relax and get rid of the depression in her heart, but she didn't expect to meet Su Qinchao halfway.

She always thought this child was special. On the surface, he seemed respectful to her and afraid of the imperial power, but his eyes showed...

It’s an indescribable feeling, but it’s not unpleasant at all and looks refreshing and open.

Very interesting, she began to become curious.

In this way, Su Qinchao carefully accompanied Princess Yucheng into the Guanyin Temple.

This temple is no different from ordinary ancient temples, hidden among the layers of mountains and forests.

The temple not only enshrines the Goddess of Childbirth, but also Maitreya Buddha, Lady of the Nine Heavens, etc. People come and go in an endless stream, and the temple is very popular.

I walked around for most of the day, tasted the vegetarian food at the Guanyin Temple, admired the sea of ​​flowers behind the temple, and accompanied others to draw lots.

It was not until the sun was about to set that Princess Yucheng finally returned to the city.

Su Qinchao looked at the carriage going away and breathed a sigh of relief. He finally sent this Buddha away. It was still very stressful to be with the superior.

On his way back to the city, Su Qin made up his mind to stay at home from now on.

In order to avoid meeting any noble people when going out, I have already visited most of the places in Chang'an except for the brothels.

When he got home, it was already dark. Guanqi had already reheated the food twice. When he saw him push the door open, he hurried to greet him.

"Master, you are finally back. Master Gao came to look for you in the evening, but you were not there. He asked me to tell you to go to his house for dinner at 15:00 tomorrow. He has something important to discuss with you."

"Got it." Su Qinchao washed his hands and invited Guanqi to sit down and eat together.

next day

Su Qinchao arrived at Gao's house on time. After dinner, he was taken to the study by Gao Zhili. Gao Zhili carefully closed the door, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to him.

There were only two official titles written on the letter, one was the Zhiguo Colonel stationed at Yanmen Pass, and the other was the Fuzhou Judicial Officer. The former was of the seventh rank, and the latter was of the seventh rank below.

"What is this?" Su Qinchao's gaze seemed to turn into substance, he was extremely excited. If what he thought was correct, this might be his chance.

"These are two vacancies that have just been vacated in the court. The Ministry of War will release them in a few days." Gao Zhili rushed to find Su Qinchao as soon as he got the news yesterday.

As long as Su Qinchao has no problem with this side, he will ask his father-in-law to recommend him.

"I want to go to Fuzhou." Su Qinchao did not hesitate. It was not that he did not want to be stationed at the border, but he knew his own capabilities very well. He only had a basic understanding of military tactics.

Yanmen Pass is the most important of the Nine Passes. He was afraid that he could not bear the responsibility, so he decided to give this important task to a capable person.

Fuzhou is great. I never had the chance to go there in my previous life. Fuzhou is Fujian, with nice weather, lots of fruits, and you can also see the sea and catch thieves. It's very suitable for him.

"It's fine as long as you've made up your mind." Gao Zhili originally hoped that he would choose Yanmen Pass, where he could be promoted quickly by making meritorious service in the army, and there would be people in the army who would be nice to them.

The benefits are great but the risks are also great. Foreign invaders are constantly coming and fighting would be a life-and-death struggle.

The two chatted for a while until late at night, when Su Qinchao said goodbye and left, thinking that the matter was settled.

Unexpectedly, when the appointment came, the appointment document stated that he was the Captain of Yanmen Pass Zhiguo.

After returning and asking Gao Zhili, he found out that Minister Xu had indeed recommended him to go to Fuzhou.

However, we arrived a day late, as Fuzhou had been occupied the day before, leaving only Yanmen Pass.

I don’t know when the next vacancy will come, so I have to take this one.

This was an urgent vacancy, and Su Qinchao was required to take up the post within seven days. The distance between Yanmen Pass and Chang'an was more than 600 kilometers, and it would take 5-6 days on the road, so he had to set off immediately.

After returning home, he casually packed some necessary things, checked out of the hotel, went straight to Gao's house to say goodbye to Gao Zhili and his wife, and then went to Yanmen Pass.

Along the way, they passed through Lintong, Weinan, Chengcheng and other places. They didn't have time to look closely along the way, they only saw the endless sorghum along the way.

It was not until 3:30 pm on the seventh day that he finally arrived at Yanmen Pass. Without even a sip of water, he hurriedly handed in the documents to his superior to take up the post, fearing that he would waste time.

As soon as I came out of the commander-in-chief's tent, I met two people. Judging from their attire, they were generals, so I hurriedly bowed to them.

"I've seen two generals!"

"Are you the new Captain Zhiguo?" One of the bearded men, who was a head taller than him, held several bundles of scrolls in his hands and spoke with a tone full of suspicion.

"It's me!" Su Qinchao looked up and looked straight at me, neither humble nor arrogant.

"With such a small body, he's promoted to captain right after he came in?" He started as a centurion and fought his way up to become a guerrilla general with sword and gun, which took him more than ten years.

"Brother Yuanwu, don't underestimate him. I heard from the military advisor that Captain Su was ranked ninth in the second class of the military examination this year. He was also a scholar in the past. It's rare that he is both civil and military."

The older, thinner man next to him touched the other man's arm, winked at him, and then continued:

"This is Yuan Wu, a fifth-rank guerrilla general. I'm Xu Qingshan, also a fifth-rank Guidelang general."

He was assigned an official position not long after taking the imperial examination, and it was such an important position. He must have someone above him, so it’s better not to offend him.
