C7 Decoy
Yan Zijun returned to the City Lord's Mansion with a stomach full of questions. The box of jewelry in his hand was seen by Yanzi, who also returned to the Mansion.
Li Su's eyes lit up. "Bro, your jewelry …"
This time, there was no need for Yan Zi to snatch it. Yan Zijun directly shoved a whole box of jewelry into his younger sister's hands, "You want it?" I'll give you everything! "
Big Brother didn't follow his usual routine, causing Yan Zi to feel a chill in her heart. "Could it be that Big Brother was rejected by that big sister fairy?" Yan Zijun looked at him and she immediately replied, "Oh, how embarrassing."
"It was given to me by the Great General Li Yang, whom the Emperor recently sent to Bian Yang Pass." Yan Zijun glanced at Yan Zi indifferently. "He originally wanted to give this pearl hairpin to his little sister, but since you liked it, he gave it to you."
Yan Zi was still wondering when she had met the great general Li Yang that her older brother had spoken of. However, when she opened the jewelry box, she saw the pearl hairpin and immediately knew who he was.
She burst out laughing, "Brother, this person insisted that this purse belonged to his friend. He really didn't lie to me." Yan Zi rolled her eyes. "But since he's a general, then so be it."
Yan Zijun narrowed his eyes, "Could it be that your heart is moved by something?"
"Nonsense!" The two words that came out of Yan Zi's mouth lacked confidence. Her face was suffused with a blush. "But I'm indeed reaching the age of 15."
"Thinking of spring?"
Yan Zi raised her head high. "Be careful that I find eight of your sister-in-law."
Yan Zijun frowned. Before he could lose his temper, Yan Zi grabbed his head and ran back to her room.
"Big brother isn't young anymore. Why do I have to listen to my own words about getting married? It can't be that there's something hard to say, right?"
Yan Zi had already disappeared, leaving only Yan Zijun gnashing his teeth in anger. This little sister had grown up, she really couldn't be allowed to live in this mansion. Staying here and there would only lead to disaster.
Yan Zi, just you wait!
Zi Jun temporarily put aside his sister's nonsense. Along the way back, other than his suspicion of General Li Yang, he also heard from her in the stands that love should be evenly matched.
He had never heard someone speak of such words before, shouldn't a girl be protected by someone weak? What do you mean by 'evenly matched'?
When Yan Zijun returned to his study, he took out a scroll and opened it. There were three large words written at the top: Plum Blossom.
Halfway through the story, Yan Zijun read it carefully and felt that something was wrong. He felt that the whole story was too far-fetched, just like what General Li had said, writing a story about how Miss Fu fell in love with the poor Elementary Scholar, but was the poor Elementary Scholar someone who loved the rich lady?
Yan Zijun was not sure. This poor Elementary Scholar was always the one to passively accept these words.
Yan Zijun made a big cross with his original words before tossing the pen to the side. He could be considered to have discarded the script.
This quincuncial brand was originally his favorite piece of work, but now it was more like chicken ribs. It felt like it was stuck in his throat and he couldn't even spit it out. He felt extremely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, this state of mind did not last long before the Liang clan's master rushed over. At this moment, he did not care about the rules of knocking on the door, "City lord, City lord, things are not going well."
Yan Zijun was in the middle of his melancholy, and these two sentences made him even more frustrated, "Something big has happened, we can't break the rules."
Sweat trickled down Master Liang's forehead. After wiping it with his sleeve, he quickly retreated out of the room and lightly knocked three times on the door. When he heard Yan Zijun say, "Come in," he entered the room again.
"What do you think?"
"That bandit set fire to Ga Zi village in the south of the city. What's more arrogant is that he robbed several women and even said that he wanted the village to collect five thousand silvers in three days, otherwise, he would slaughter the entire village …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Yan Zijun slammed his hand down on the table angrily. He took a glance at the table and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Luckily the table was sturdy, otherwise, he would not be as sturdy as the table in front of him!
"Go and invite General Li to the Mayor's mansion."
Master Liang did not dare to be negligent. He turned around and left the mansion, heading straight for the inn where General Li and the rest were temporarily staying.
Fortunately, Li Su had not changed her clothes yet, as soon as she heard the bandits attack, she took her sword and was about to leave, while Supervisor Zhou, seeing that his commander had already left, naturally did not want to be left behind, but he still complained, "Why did we have to choose this hour, we were caught off guard!"
Li Su frowned, "Has the supervising army ever seen those robbers that greeted you before the war and considered it to be time to rob money?"
With a single sentence, Supervisor Zhou's face turned red, "I... "I …"
"However, Supervisor Zhou is not someone from the frontlines. Those who do not know is not to be blamed, and these words are not to be mentioned in front of the City Lord. I'm afraid Mayor Yan is not as kind as I am."
"Naturally." Supervisor Zhou dryly laughed twice, then no longer spoke.
Yan Zijun had already laid out the sand and earth in his study room. When he looked up and saw Li Su, he beckoned her over, "Come and take a look."
Regarding military tactics, Li Su had only heard a few words from her brother. If she was allowed to make up some nonsense, she would be able to get over it and lead the army to kill the bandits. This would be very difficult.
Yan Zijun saw Li Su frown and asked with concern, "Does General Li have any other ideas?"
At this moment, she did not dare to express her opinion rashly, because her identity might be exposed at any moment. She shook her head, "Castellan Yan's arrangement is just right. I'm only thinking of the effects and failures of the bait.
"However, that bandit has already infiltrated the Bian Yang Pass for many days and is extremely familiar with me. I'm afraid that I won't be able to send any men here."
"I am aware of this, but if I were to risk my life …"
This bait is extremely dangerous, if there is any accident, Li Su's identity will naturally be lost, "General, please do not. General is the soul of the army, if anything happens to the general, the fifty thousand soldiers will be utterly defeated!"
When everyone was at a loss, everyone's eyes turned to Supervisor Zhou, who was secretly yawning. As Supervisor Zhou instinctively felt a chill coming from all directions, he couldn't help but shiver.
In order to avoid scaring this timid rabbit, Li Su gently grabbed Supervisor Zhou's arm. "Supervisor Zhou's will to the Emperor is something that can be expressed easily!"
Although Supervisor Zhou already felt something was amiss, when it came to the subject of His Majesty, he followed the flow and expressed his sincerity. It was for this very reason that Li Su acted as if she was grabbing onto his pigtail and tightly holding the top hat of the bait tightly on his head.
However, when Supervisor Zhou came back to his senses, he already had no way to refute him.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and his facial expression could no longer be seen. "General Li, you must give priority to me in all matters."
Li Su clapped her hands with a serious look on her face.
