Sad song

The sky in Yanbei is clear blue.

The light and cool sunlight fell on that slender figure, outlining her unique and heroic face.

Yan Xun sat on the couch and looked at her silently, with a pair of eagle-like eyes that were sharp and deep, no longer the bright and sincere appearance of the past.

"Achu," after a long while, he finally tried to smile, but he quietly gave up after pulling the corners of his mouth, his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, "My country of Yan, I really can't keep you anymore?"

"I don't know the trick, life and death are naturally up to you." Chu Qiao lowered her eyebrows, curled her fingertips paranoidly and weakly, "but I will absolutely not agree to everything else."

"Ah Chu, do you have to talk to me like this?"

"Yan Xun, you and I have nothing to do with each other."

"Hahaha, okay, Chu Qiao," the deep emperor stood up in a cold voice, the friendship he had been with him in the past has long since been worn down and shattered into a large section of nothingness in Mangmang Zhenzhen, "then you can go to the dungeon and stay in peace until Until you figure it out and want to stay.”

"Don't make me hate you, Yan Xun."

"Ah Chu, I regret letting you go."

He turned around and let the bodyguard's attendants take her down.

"Do not touch me!"

Said sharply, Chu Qiao stepped out expressionlessly, and walked towards the dungeon with her head held high.

At the same time, Hengyang Pass at the northern end of Huai Song Dynasty.

After showing the jade card at the designated place, Yuan Chun took off the hood that covered it, and patted off the snow dust on the cloak.

The winter in Yandi came too early, and only in autumn, when we turned over the rolling foothills, we greeted a profuse light snow.

Although the sky was clear at this time, there was a gust of cold wind, which made the person who was always afraid of the cold wrap up in the light fur around his body, and tried to absorb some warmth with his arms crossed.

It would be great if that person was here, Yuan Chun thought.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

The dead soldier in black soft armor knelt down obediently in front of her, waiting for her to give her instructions.

"To find out the whereabouts of the general before he disappeared, and all the news of the Hengyang prefect, including who he has seen recently, we must investigate carefully, the sooner the better."

"Yes."

The black shadow disappeared into the guest house in an instant. Since it was Ji Lingyue's remnant left by Nalan Hongye, it would not be a bad idea.

With Chu Qiao's troops and her own strength, it is impossible for her to disappear as she is now, unless she is plotted against.

Yu Wenyue is now quite suspicious of Yuan Che because of Ji Lingyue's death, and Yan Xun, who is eyeing Da Xia, after Nalan Hongye chose to stand on the sidelines and neutralize, changed his previous amicability and repeatedly provoked in the border area.

Chu Qiao came here this time to find out the news and frighten the border.It's just that some people must have been dissatisfied with her sword of unknown origin but too sharp, and there must be killing intent in vain.

Clenching the dagger that was more than an inch in his hand, a cold light flashed in Yuan Chun's eyes, and he discarded all the complicated thoughts one by one, trying to calm himself down.

When it was about noon, the dark guard came back and explained Chu Qiao's whereabouts before she disappeared and where she was trapped now.

Just to sort out the relationship between China and China, we still have to start with the identity of Hengyang prefect.

Hengyang prefect Gong Yu is the favorite student of Wei Xiangguo and Wei Zishu, and he was a student who was admitted to the imperial examination two years ago.He was still young in the court, and was sent by Wei Zishu to practice at the border a few years ago. As a civil servant, he managed the food, grass, silver and salaries allocated by the court to the border, as well as various matters related to the reception of courtiers and envoys.

Since ancient times, there have been many rifts between civil and military forces, but in fact, Chu Qiao has indeed made many enemies in the court, and the biggest force among them is the civil servants of the Wei Party headed by Wei Xiangguo.Gong Yu, as an official handpicked by Wei Zishu, was naturally at odds with Chu Qiao, and it was not difficult to explain why Yuan Chun was the first to suspect him.

"General Chu visited Gong Yu before he disappeared, and went to the outskirts of the city alone on the second day, and then lost the news. But some people said that they saw Yan Xun's personal guards there."

"And Gong Yu also met Yan Xun the day before."

The teacup in his hand fell to the ground, Yuan Chun sneered, got up and walked out with a flick of his sleeves.

"Then I'll go meet Gong Yu."

Before coming, Nalan Hongye gave Yuan Chun her waist badge as a gift because she considered that Yuan Chun did not serve in the imperial court, so that she could claim to be a Jiedu envoy for a private visit.

So when she arrived at Gong Yu's residence, she naturally received due courtesy.

"Sir, this way please."

As Tanhualang, the prefect of Hengyang has a good appearance, and even the lifeless and regular court clothes make him look like a tree and look dignified.He bowed slightly, but those peach eyes were even more romantic.Even if he is just a simple greeting, it will make people feel like a spring breeze.

Wei Zishu really taught a good apprentice.

He responded indifferently, Yuan Chun used to be Princess Daxia with her extraordinary bearing and aristocratic majesty, she sat down gracefully, curling the corners of her lips without saying a word.

"I don't know what your lord's visit is for?"

"It seems that Mr. Gong has experienced well at the border. The prefect's mansion is probably a bit bigger than the Guoxiang's mansion."

When Gong Yu heard this, his face paled a little. He knelt down suddenly, and was about to defend himself, but he heard the woman sitting at the head sneer slightly.

"My lord, what are you doing? I don't mean to blame you, but I can't bear this great gift."

He raised his head in astonishment, only to see that the beautiful person with brows and flanks was smiling but not smiling, with his fingers folded on his knees, and his eyes were full of sarcasm.

"My lord, don't make fun of the lower officials."

Pretending not to care, Gong Yu stood up gracefully, forced a smile, and asked her why she came again.

Yuan Chun raised his eyebrows, and said in a slightly surprised tone, "Why does the lord want to ask such a question? Even if I don't need to tell you, you should know that General Chu's whereabouts are unknown now. Logically, the court wants to take over her remaining troops." .”

"But... shouldn't it be a general?"

"Why, do you doubt His Majesty, or me?"

"The subordinate dare not."

Looking at the man kneeling down again, Yuan Chun's tone suddenly became sharp, "I will come to your prefect's mansion first according to the etiquette, but you are lucky. First, you repeatedly tried to find out the purpose of the private visit to Jiedushi, and then you are outspoken." Contradicting the court officials and doubting His Majesty's will, based on these points, I can punish you, understand!"

"Wei Chen dare not."

"Where are the rest of General Chu's troops?"

"It is currently stationed outside Hengyang City, temporarily under the jurisdiction of Song Duwei."

Gong Yu bowed his head to the ground, and replied respectfully.

"Ye Yi, let's go."

No more entanglement, she called the hidden guards on standby, and left the prefect's mansion straight away.

When the figure disappeared, Gong Yu's handsome face became almost distorted in an instant, and the valuable porcelain in the room was immediately damaged, and was swept to the ground without hesitation, making a crackling sound.

"Damn it, no one dares to humiliate me like this when I grow up. I must kill her, I must kill her!"

"My lord, calm down, but you are just a little boy, so you don't need to go to war like this."

The servant who waited on him cautiously persuaded, after all, murdering the imperial governor is a felony enough to implicate the nine clans.

"You know what a fart, that's a woman, no woman can be so presumptuous in front of me!"

Gong Yu was panting violently, but his mood was clearly calming down.He stretched out his hand and let the servant help him to sit in the chair, with a gloomy expression on his face, as if he was thinking about countermeasures.

After a while, he raised his head and said to the boy, "You, go and get the pen and ink, I need to write a book for the teacher."

The author has something to say: official position setting

The highest local civil servant is the prefect, and the highest military officer is the captain.They do not interfere with each other, but the civil servants are slightly higher than the military officials. After all, the civil servants manage the food, grass and silver paid by the imperial court.

The imperial court's Jiedushi is higher than the highest local governor, appointed by the emperor, and approved by Dali Cheng (the supreme prosecutor) to take effect.

Xiangguo is roughly equivalent to the position of prime minister
