"Mr. Su, His Majesty has issued a decree."
"You are hereby appointed as Imperial Envoy to investigate the case of Yang Chuan, the Commander of Yunzhou, who is colluding with bandits in the south. You are hereby granted the authority to act expediently."
"..."
Seeing her father-in-law's beaming smile, Su Nan was speechless.
What... are we going to Yunzhou again?
Is Yunzhou such a nice place?
That place was Xu Pingfeng's stronghold, and also the most chaotic place in the entire Great Feng world.
"Father-in-law, may I disobey the imperial decree?" Su Nan sighed.
The eunuch delivering the imperial decree chuckled and said, "Immortal Su, you certainly know how to joke!"
Su Nan wanted to say that he was really not joking.
After delivering the imperial decree, the father-in-law left. Before leaving, Fu Xiang, as usual, stuffed a bag of local specialties into his hand.
When my father-in-law left, he was all smiles.
Fu Xiang is truly understanding; no wonder she became the most popular courtesan in Kyoto.
"Su Lang has gone far to Yunzhou, where the mountains are high and the rivers are long. Please be careful."
Fu Xiang gazed lovingly at her beloved, her eyes filled with worry.
But then she realized that the man in front of her was no ordinary person.
Moreover, Master Shenshu is also inside Su Nan's body.
With Su Lang's strength and the presence of Master Shen Shu.
It would be quite difficult to escape danger...
"I was overthinking it."
"Just thinking about not seeing Su Lang for several months makes my heart feel empty."
Seeing Fu Xiang's pitiful appearance, Su Nan decisively closed the door and released the last bit of food.
……
Su Nan then visited Haoqi Tower again.
He wasn't the only one going to Yunzhou to investigate the case; the night watchmen's office and other officials were also there.
Naturally, Su Nan wanted to first inform Wei Yuan.
This handsome and refined eunuch, with slightly graying temples, was drinking tea.
It was no surprise to see Su Nan arrive; it seemed he had also received Emperor Yuanjing's decree.
Upon seeing Su Nan approach, Wei Yuan pushed a file towards him.
“A few days ago, the spies of the 89 night watchmen sent back a secret letter, which said that Yang Chuannan, the commander of Yunzhou, was secretly colluding with mountain bandits to supply military supplies in order to seek profits and to support his own power.”
Wei Yuan leisurely took a sip of tea.
"His Majesty appoints you as Imperial Envoy, with the Censorate Governor Zhang Xingying and the Night Watchmen's Office accompanying you, to thoroughly investigate this case..."
At this point, Wei Yuan suddenly revealed a very strange smile.
"His Majesty specifically instructed me to ensure your safety."
Others may not know Su Nan's cultivation level, but Wei Yuan does.
Do night watchmen protect southern Jiangsu?
It is not certain who will protect whom.
Su Nan casually flipped through the files in his hand, clearly showing little interest.
"The reason why bandits are so difficult to eliminate in Yunzhou is that, in addition to the fact that the mountain bandits occupy the terrain, they also occupy the terrain."
"Furthermore, these bandits are well-equipped and have military supplies, so they are not ordinary bandits. Therefore, they must have someone supporting them."
"Qi Dang is located in the capital and cannot be controlled remotely; a high-ranking local official is needed to cooperate."
Wei Yuan was not surprised that Su Nan knew about the situation in Yunzhou.
There are many mysterious aspects to this person, which are currently impossible to investigate.
Wei Yuan then continued:
"After the secret message was sent back to the capital, the spy died without a trace."
"His true identity is an official in the Commandery of the Capital Region, specifically in the Bureau of Records."
"The person is dead, and the evidence has disappeared. So I reported this matter to His Majesty, who then decided to send you and the governor of the Censorate to Yunzhou to investigate the matter."
Su Nan sighed.
Why did Emperor Yuanjing want me to go to Yunzhou?
Wei Yuan glanced at Su Nan.
Isn't it easy to guess what Emperor Yuanjing is thinking?
He is paving the way for Su Nan to enter the imperial court.
Everyone else is trying to steal the credit.
Emperor Yuanjing simply handed the credit to Su Nan, who was rather unwilling.
People are indeed quite different.
"His Majesty is clearly favoring you and paving the way for you. If you enter the court in the future, you will be able to rise rapidly in rank based on these achievements."
"I will send Xiaorou with you this time."
Standing next to Wei Yuan, Nangong Qianrou slightly widened her eyes.
Why me again?
Why does my godfather always make me follow this kid?
"When do we leave?" Su Nan asked.
"tomorrow."
Wei Yuan took a leisurely sip of tea.
Su Nanxuan then got up and left Haoqi Tower.
I'm leaving Kyoto tomorrow, so I should say goodbye to my good friends.
……
"Mr. Su is leaving Beijing tomorrow!"
When Biao Biao learned of this news, she felt like the sky was falling.
If Mr. Su leaves, won't there be no one to come to the palace to play with her?!
Yunzhou is a remote and mountainous region, and a journey there can take several months.
If the case is delayed even slightly, it's not impossible for it to take a year or two.
The thought of not seeing Su Nan for so long made Biao Biao feel suffocated.
"Su Nan, why don't you tell Father Emperor to take me to Yunzhou for a trip?"
Lin'an blinked, her peach-blossom eyes filled with anticipation.
"Your Highness, please don't be ridiculous. Yunzhou is not a safe place."
Southern Jiangsu ruthlessly shattered Biao Biao's illusions.
Lin'an's face immediately fell, looking aggrieved.
"With you gone, this palace feels so stuffy."
Su Nan smiled and said, "It's alright, I will write to His Highness."
"I imagine there will be many interesting stories along the way, which should be able to entertain Your Highness."
Upon hearing this, Lin'an finally showed a slight smile.
"A word is settled!"
"Then I'll wait for your letter!"
Seeing the beaming and excited Biao Biao, Su Nan smiled faintly.
Biao Biao is indeed innocent and adorable.
Afterwards, Su Nan went to Ya Yuan again and met Huai Qing.
Compared to Lin'an, Huaiqing is more concerned about the safety of southern Jiangsu.
"Yunzhou is plagued by bandits and is far from the capital. Mr. Su must be careful."
"If anything happens, it can be reported to the capital by express courier."
"..."
Huaiqing's cool and aloof face revealed an unconcealable worry.
"Your Highness, please rest assured, I will return to the capital safely."
……
After bidding farewell to Lin'an and Biao Biao, Su Nan set off for the Imperial Observatory.
On the seventh floor, he summoned Song Qing and helped him resolve some alchemical problems.
Song Qing was overjoyed and hurriedly went to the government office to ask for several death row inmates to conduct experiments.
Given time, his life alchemy will surely be perfected!
Mr. Su made a great contribution!
Su Nan then found Chu Caiwei and explained the matter of going to Yunzhou.
"We will definitely need an astronomer from the Imperial Observatory to accompany us on this trip to Yunzhou. What do you say, would you like to come with me to take a look?"
