Ma'am, do you dare to answer?

Ever since Lian Yan could walk, she would play with a bow and arrow. Even the old general was pleased and at the same time cultivated Lian Yan more attentively. By the time she was seven or eight years old, she was already able to shoot crookedly at targets a hundred paces away. Lian Yan is originally talented and has been practicing hard for decades. Today's archery skills rarely meet opponents in Chengjia. The little soldier in the crenel, she can easily shoot through his throat!

Putting his fingers on the bow and arrow, Lian Yan held his breath and slowly drew the bow and arrow away. When the bow was full like a string, he raised his head slightly and glanced over the tower one by one. Head, the bow and arrow in Lian Yan's hand turned sideways, the hand holding the feather arrow was released, the arrow that left the string pierced through layers of obstacles, and went towards the tens of feet high city wall, stabbing firmly in the above the high wall.

The little soldier had just retracted his head when he heard the sound of a sharp arrow piercing the air. Before he had time to hide in, he heard the sound of the arrow passing by him. He shot on the city wall, his heart was beating wildly in his chest, he swallowed, and then carefully pulled out the feathered arrow, and sure enough, he saw a small bronzing word "Lian" on the end of the arrow, waiting Swallowing that mouthful of saliva back into his stomach, he had the courage to look out from the opening of the pile, and saw the man who had just shot the arrow sitting high on the back of a horse, and the icy westerly wind rattled the man's cloak for no reason. With a bit of aggressive momentum, he subconsciously touched his neck.

If this was a gangster, the arrow just now would have been aimed at his head. Besides, how could there be such a gangster with such a magnificent appearance?

The little soldier took the arrow and shouted towards the mouth of the pile: "Wait a minute, I will report to my lord."

Watching the little soldiers on the city wall disappear into the crenel, Lian Yan's eyes followed the city wall and moved to the door at the gate of the city. Close the gate of the city to keep the intruders out of the city, and outside the city is the city wall that is tens of feet high. Lan, it's not that easy. Using military strategy to defend against bandits, it seems that this Lan is also a place where crouching tigers hide dragons.

As the big copper door "squeaked" slowly opened, Lian Yan withdrew his thoughts, tightened the reins and jumped off the horse, saw a few people coming out of the city gate, Lian Yan took a look Seeing that the young man who came out at the head took her Lianjia arrow in his hand, he seemed to be the person in charge, so he took the initiative to go forward, and before he could speak, the leader walking in front took the arrow in his hand Give it back to her.

"You are General Lian?" The man smiled: "I didn't expect you to come so fast, it's fine if you didn't greet, and you stopped General Lian outside the city, it really made General Lian laugh."

The man spoke politely, but the look in his eyes made Lian Yan feel very uncomfortable. He managed to suppress the discomfort in his heart, nodded slightly and said, "I'm Lian Yan. I was busy on my way, so I forgot to inform you in advance. , it was my mistake."

"Where is it, I forgot to introduce. Ouyang Lu is the governor of Canglan." Ouyang Lu cupped his hands and said, "Ouyang has been waiting for General Lian for a long time. General Lian has worked hard all the way. Please come into the city."

"Where, where." Lian Yan replied politely.

After following Ouyang Lu into Canglan City, she found that the city was not as depressed as she thought. Although it was not very lively, the lights were always on, and there were several taverns bustlingly open for business. It's not like being harassed by gangsters for a long time.

Ouyang Lu didn't explain either, but after a polite conversation, he settled the group of them in the inn, and told them about many problems in life, and then left first under the pretext of having something to do.

In the middle of the night, he could have a ghost!

Lian Yan was lying on the bed in the station with her eyes open, looking at the desolate moonlight outside the window, but Lian Yan didn't feel sleepy at all, her mind was disturbed but very clear, Canglan's special environment, Ouyang Lu's inquisitive eyes, here for her It is said to be extremely unfamiliar, and besides, there is Canglan Zhizhou here. Lian Yan feels that her road to suppressing bandits may not be so smooth. Shi Chen, but Lian Yan knew that although this man looked weak, he was definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.

And the facts did prove Lian Yan's idea.

When Lian Yan first arrived in Canglan, Yu Canglan knew very little about it. Every time he wanted to communicate with Ouyang Lu about the banditry in Canglan, Ouyang Lu would always rush all the way with General Lian, and he would train for a few days before discussing the matter. Being late to prevaricate, this training lasted for seven or eight days, until even Yan Yan's good temper was almost wiped out.

This Ouyang Lu was simply giving her power!

Leaving aside the lieutenant general who was gesturing, Lian Yan turned around and left. She should have thought of that night outside the city tower. The news of her coming to Canglan had already spread, but Ouyang Lu still blamed her for coming too fast The expression on her face was clearly watching her joke!

Lian Yan's heart was on fire, but his face became more and more calm like water. He walked steadily to Ouyang Lu's Zhizhou yamen, but the yamen guard at the door wanted to stop him, but Lian Yan pushed him away and broke in.Ouyang Lu Xing probably got the news, before Lian Yan entered the yamen, he came out to greet Lian Yan with a smile on his face: "Why is General Lian here? But what do you want to do with Ouyang? Where the reception is not good, even the general can give orders, why come here in person?"

Lian Yan passed Ouyang Lu without looking sideways, entered his yamen lobby, and sat directly at the head seat. Seeing the subtle changes in the expression on Ouyang Lu's face, Lian Yan asked suspiciously: "Lord Ouyang, what did you say? , why can't you come and sit down if you have nothing to do?"

"Yes, why not." With a smile on his face, Ouyang Lu served Lian Yan a pot of tea himself: "General Lian tried it, although it is not as good as the tea in the capital, it is also Canglan's specialty."

The heat in the teacup curled up, Lian Yan picked up the teacup, smelled it: "It's delicious tea, Canglan is really a good place for outstanding people." Then he put the teacup on the table, and said with a little regret: "It's a pity that this good place is not peaceful."

"Master Ouyang, I have also been here for a few days, and I have also tasted the Canglan restaurants, large and small, with my brothers. The taste is really good, but this is not something that Lian Yan can do." Lian Yan looked at Ouyang Lu, and said word by word: "This self-cultivation has also been cultivated. If you don't practice again, I'm afraid Master Ouyang's salary will be eaten up by us moths. How embarrassing are you to say that?" .”

Ouyang Lu said: "Look at what General Lian said..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lian Yan: "What did I say? Master Ouyang is unreasonable. How could it be me who said this? This is clearly what Master Ouyang thought in his heart. You When all of us are perfunctory worms who come here to deal with errands, we can’t get along in the capital, so we come to Canglan to hang out, isn’t it?”

Ouyang Lu said sternly: "What does General Lian mean by this? Ouyang has absolutely no such idea, General Lian, please don't misunderstand."

"Oh? No?" Lian Yan tapped the table with his fingertips: "Surely Master Ouyang doesn't think so?"

"It's really not!" Ouyang Lu said earnestly.

"That's really strange. Since Lord Ouyang didn't look down on me, why did Lord Ouyang refuse to discuss with me about the Canglan bandits?" Lian Yan stared into Ouyang Lu's eyes, and said in a low voice, "Is it difficult?" Could it be that Ouyang, you have something shady and don't want me to know, so you have been procrastinating?"

"Even the general don't want to talk nonsense!" Ouyang Lu's face turned livid when he heard this, "You don't know anything, don't want to spout blood."

"Did you give me a chance to know?" Lian Yan glanced at Ouyang Lu coldly: "I thought Mr. Ouyang was a sensible person, but he was also a fool! Since the imperial court sent me to help you suppress the bandits, I will treat you wholeheartedly. If you want to help you, Lord Ouyang should also believe me. But why do I feel that Lord Ouyang doesn’t trust me? You guard me everywhere, and the defense you build is probably higher than the city wall outside you. Dare to ask Lord Ouyang, What are you dissatisfied with me? Even if you have something, you can change it, if you don't, you can encourage it."

Ouyang Lu clenched his teeth, and it took him a long time to say: "The Canglan bandits are no joke, the court doesn't take this matter seriously, but Ouyang can't! Ouyang Lu is the official of Canglan's parents, and the people of Canglan are counting on me Keeping them safe, General Lian came and made a fuss and left, and the people of Canglan will suffer in the future? Forgive Ouyang Lu for not being able to mess around with General Lian!"

"You're the one messing around!" Lian Yan was originally moved by Ouyang Lu's integrity of serving the people wholeheartedly, but then she was furious with one sentence: "Oh, after all, Master Ouyang still can't trust me. If you are so uncooperative, is it just Can Master Ouyang be able to protect the safety of Canglan by himself? No matter how tall the city wall you build, no matter how strong the city gate is, you can only keep you safe for a while. In other words, Master Ouyang, can you fall asleep?"

Seeing that Ouyang Lu turned his head and didn't answer, Lian Yan went on to say: "The imperial court sent me here to completely wipe out the banditry in Canglan, so that the people of Canglan can live a stable life without being intruded by bandits again. I hope Master Ouyang can understand , I have the same original intention as you."

"It's up to you..." Ouyang Lu swallowed back what he hadn't finished speaking.

Looking at the tea cup broken in Lian Yan's hand, Ouyang Lu's eyes flickered, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't speak again.

"It's enough for me." Lian Yan got up, and his eyes fell on Ouyang Lu with pressure: "Tomorrow's meeting hall, I hope Mr. Ouyang can cooperate. It doesn't matter if you insist on being passive and neglecting. I am the bandit of Canglan. It must be suppressed, and as for Lord Ouyang, I think you should do it yourself."

After Lian Yan finished speaking, he strode away, only Ouyang Lu stood there, clenched his fist secretly, Qin Chu's expression could not be seen under the shadow, only after a long time, that hand was slowly released, Ouyang Lu shook his clothes and walked out calmly.
