C14 Miss Ning's Request

Yan Zijun received a letter. It was about the bandits outside the city requesting the exchange of captives, so he sent someone to ask Li Su to come to the City Lord's Mansion for a discussion.

Last time, Ga Zi Village was robbed, there were about eleven abducted women, and now the bandit leader wanted to trade these eleven women for the captives he had captured.

eleven people for a hundred people was not a good deal. After all, Yan Zijun was the city lord of Bian Yang Pass. The lives of the commoners were priceless to him.

However, bandits were cunning and couldn't simply exchange hostages.

On the other side, Li Su rushed to the study room of the City Lord's Mansion to meet Yan Zijun. However, she heard that Supervisor Zhou had gone to investigate the prisoners at the information station.

Li had some questions, but he didn't ask. "Why did the mayor ask me to come here in such a hurry?"

Yan Zijun passed the letter to Li Su.

After he finished reading, he raised his head to look at Yan Zijun, "What is the mayor planning?"

Yan Zijun did not reply to his question. Instead, he asked, "I would like to hear what the general has to say."

"The city lord is the parent official of Bian Yang Pass. The lives of the people of Bian Yang Pass are above all else, the bandits used the lives of the commoners to exchange for the captives. Although it is with a Boduo stance, it is priceless for the people of Bian Yang Pass and the city lord."

Seeing that Li Su had the same thoughts as him, Yan Zijun had a good impression of him, "Although this is a good plan, there are still a lot of bandits. When we exchange hostages, there will be unnecessary side effects."

He was filled with confidence in Li Su, "People who fall prey to the grass are only doing it for money. Very few people think about living a life of bloodshed just for the sake of being sincere. If the mayor allows them to do so, they might be able to become useful pawns in their own hands."

General Li from Beijing was not simple at all.

Yan Zijun narrowed his eyes and smiled, "What is the meaning of this, General Li?"

Li Su stretched out her hand and beckoned to her palm. Although Yan Zijun did not know what he wanted to do, he could not help but lean over.

So Liesu told him her plan in his ear.

There must be some among the many prisoners who are willing to give their lives away. If we can get some information about one of them, it might be able to help us kill the bandits.

Although Yan Zijun thought that Li Su's suggestion was bold, but if he thought about it carefully, it was not without its possibilities.

"Come on, let's go and see what Supervisor Zhou just spat out."

Yan Zijun's face was filled with anticipation when he saw Zhou Yan, who was covered with wounds, but still refused to let go.

Supervisor Zhou was just about to use the red-hot iron to leave a mark on Zhou Yan's body. Luckily, Li Su couldn't bear to see such a tiresome scene, so she said, "Supervisor Zhou, forget it."

Although he was very unwilling, when General Li opened his mouth, he could not refute this directly, so he placed the iron brand into the water with a "Zi La" sound.

"You talk too hard." Supervisor Zhou gritted his teeth.

"Even so, he can be considered a tough guy." Yan Zijun thought for a moment before continuing, "Bring out all the prisoners you have on this trip and serve them well. In two days, we will exchange them for prisoners in the western suburbs."

"Exchange?" Supervisor Zhou could not believe it, "This time we've grabbed a few hundred people, are we going to give them everything?"

"There should be some who are no longer willing to be bandits and aren't willing to be bandits anymore. Let a portion of them go, and the rest will just return."

"But!" Supervisor Zhou frowned, but seeing that Yan Zijun seemed determined, he knew that it was useless to speak too much.

When the dust settled, Supervisor Zhou and Li Su decided to return to the relay station. On the way back, the Supervisor Zhou kept talking about his dissatisfaction with Yan Zijun.

At first, Li Su could still endure it, but once Supervisor Zhou saw that there was no response, he just continued talking.

"Overseer Zhou, you and I are only here to assist the City Lord against bandits. The City Lord has experienced hundreds of battles, so he definitely has his own considerations. You and I are just supporting him."

Having had a closed-door meal with Li Su, Supervisor Zhou was dissatisfied, "You and him are on the same side!"

"I don't understand what Supervisor Zhou is trying to say. His Majesty had ordered me to help the Mayor. If I didn't come with the Mayor, would I have to stand with the bandits?"

Supervisor Zhou knew he had misspoken and was about to explain himself when he was interrupted by a woman.

The woman was dressed in an aquamarine dress, her steps swaying as she approached them.

Every step he took seemed to strike directly into the heart of Supervisor Zhou.

"General Li." The woman paid her respects to Li Su, looking like a lady from a noble family.

Li Su had met this woman before. That night, when she sent Yan Zijun back to his residence, this woman was with Yan Zi.

"My name is Ning Wanfeng." Ning Wanfeng introduced himself, "My family and Brother Zi Jun's family are aristocratic."

"Hmm?" But even if it was an aristocratic family, what did it have to do with her?

"Can I have a word with you?" Ning Wanfeng felt a bit uncomfortable. From the start, the man beside General Li had been looking at her strangely, as if he was a prodigal son.

Li Su also noticed the disrespect shown by Supervisor Zhou. She quietly blocked his line of sight, "There's a teahouse ahead."

Originally, Supervisor Zhou also wanted to follow him, so Li Su said, "Supervisor Zhou, you should return to the relay station first" and dismissed him.

Ning Wanfeng was quite decent and generous. "Thank you, General Li."

Li Su didn't say anything about it.

The two went to the teahouse and ordered a pot of green tea and a plate of pastries.

The tea continued after it was finished, but Ning Wanfeng still didn't say why she was looking for her.

"Miss Ning, I am a boorish person, please do not take offense to me." Li Su cupped her hands and stepped aside. "What business do you have with me that you've come here today?"

"This …"

"Miss Ning, is there anything you need my help with?" Li Su couldn't let Ning Wanfeng feel uncomfortable any longer. Otherwise, she would vomit after drinking this pot of hot tea.

"Is your brother busy with work these days?"

She should have gone to Yan Zijun about this, why did she turn around and ask her? Li Su pursed her lips, "There are indeed some matters. However, it is still a public service. Please forgive me for not telling you about it."

Ning Wanfeng bit her lips. "I want to see my brother."

Li Su was still puzzled by this. If she wanted to see Yan Zijun, then why was she here?

"I would like to ask General Li to help me arrange a meeting with my Elder Brother Zi Jun at the Pure Wind Pavilion to listen to the show." Ning Wanfeng lowered her head. At this moment, her face was as red as an apple.

"Why is Miss Ning …"

Before he could finish his words, Ning Wanfeng said, "This time, I will also ask Yan Zi out."

Li Su was confused by Ning Wanfeng's actions. It was one thing for Miss Ning to not ask Yan Zijun out, but why did she bring out Yan Zi?

"Since Miss Ning has entrusted the task to me, it's nothing more than a small matter." Li Su patted her chest as if she was wrapping it around me.

"Wan Feng has another request." Ning Wanfeng pursed his lips, "General Li, could you please stop mentioning my matter and just assume that General Li has asked his own son to listen to the drama?"

It was only a small matter for Liesu, and she agreed without further ado.
