Film and Television: The Great Feng Sword Immortal, starting with Lingyue's updo hairstyle

The thought of meeting the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect soon made Su Nan feel much more energetic.

……

The banquet was held in a large courtyard overlooking the river.

This was the residence of the Provincial Administration Commissioner, used specifically to host banquets for officials; it was a luxurious mansion with four courtyards and four entrances.

The imperial envoy's team went to Yunzhou to handle a case, and the imperial envoy Su Nan and Governor Zhang were naturally the focus of this banquet, as well as guests.

Governor Zhang deliberately arrived fifteen minutes late.

This was both a display of official power and an way of giving the host ample time to prepare.

Su Nan was unfamiliar with the ways of officialdom, but Governor Zhang was certainly experienced.

Upon arriving at the mansion gate, one finds it already filled with all sorts of carriages and sedan chairs, some ornate and some simple, representing high-ranking officials of varying positions.

Led by attendants, Su Nan and Governor Zhang and their entourage arrived at the front hall.

Then they saw Yunzhou officials dressed in various official robes, more than a hundred in total.

Among them was the prefect of Yunzhou whom Su Nan met today.

"Your Excellency the Governor."

A hearty laugh came from the other side.

Immediately, an official wearing a scarlet robe and with a long beard came forward to greet them.

"Your Excellency the Provincial Governor."

Governor Zhang merely glanced at the man's official robes before smiling and bowing.

Yunzhou Provincial Administration Commissioner... Song Changfu!

Su Nan scrutinized the Provincial Governor of Yunzhou.

This person has slightly high cheekbones and narrow eyes. When he smiles, his eyes narrow into slits, giving him a shrewd and calculating appearance.

Although Su Nan could not remember many of the details of Yunzhou.

But there was one thing he remembered very clearly…

The one who conspired with the Witch God Cult in Yunzhou was not Commander Yang Chuannan, but Provincial Governor Song Changfu!

This is the biggest hidden boss in Yunzhou's officialdom!

If you're not careful, you could very well fall into the latter's trap as well.

Although there is no danger to their lives, it is certain that their strength will be exposed.

"This must be Su Zhexian!"

"Although I am far away in Yunzhou, I have long admired your name!"

Song Changfu then turned to look at Su Nan and bowed.

Although Su Nan did not hold an official position, he wore a gold medal at his waist.

If we were to strictly adhere to official etiquette, everyone present would have to kowtow to him!

Su Nan smiled and returned the greeting.

Whether it was psychological or something else, Su Nan always felt that the Provincial Governor Song's gaze was somewhat gloomy.

It seems she already has feelings for me...

Provincial Governor Song, accompanied by Governor Su and Governor Zhang, introduced the officials of Yunzhou to them one by one.

"This is Commander Yang of Yunzhou."

The Provincial Governor Song led the two men to a middle-aged man with the demeanor of a scholar-general.

The atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became somewhat eerie.

The surrounding noise instantly subsided.

All eyes were on Su Nan, Governor Zhang, and Yang Chuannan.

Those present were all seasoned officials; how could they not know the purpose of the imperial envoy's arrival?

This imperial envoy's delegation is here specifically to target Yang Chuannan!

In the midst of this silence, the two high-ranking officials examined each other for a moment, then burst into laughter in unison.

"Governor Zhang, I've long admired you."

"Commander-in-Chief, I have long admired you."

"Su Zhexian truly lives up to his name; a dashing young man!"

"You're too kind, Commander." (8%61064746)

"..."

After a few pleasantries, the atmosphere immediately relaxed, and smiles appeared on the officials' faces.

There was neither sarcastic mockery nor subtle barbs between the two sides.

It's like seeing a long-lost friend.

Is this what officialdom is like...?

"Su Zhexian, Your Excellency the Governor, the banquet is ready. Shall we go to the backyard together?"

Song Changfu promptly stepped in and asked.

In a prefecture, the three highest-ranking government offices were: the Regional Military Commission, the Provincial Administration Commission, and the Provincial Judicial Commission.

The Provincial Judicial Commissioner was subordinate to the Censorate, so in front of Governor Zhang, the Provincial Judicial Commissioner was most like a lackey.

Upon arriving at the backyard, the officials took their seats, with the seating arrangements already prepared at the main table.

Besides the three chief officials, Su Nan, as the imperial envoy, would certainly also have a place.

Commander Yang Chuannan blocked an official from taking his seat, pointing to the seat next to him.

A friend is coming.

The official was taken aback, then suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead as if in a flash of realization, and went to another table without complaint.

Seeing this, Su Nan smiled slightly.

Sure enough, it came.

Li Miaozhen, the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect, the Second Leader of the Heaven and Earth Society, and the Flying Swallow Heroine!

Su Nan's main purpose in attending the banquet was to see Li Miaozhen!

Immediately.

A beautiful young female general, clad in light armor, entered. She was tall and slender with a perfectly proportioned figure, and wore a high ponytail.

Even Su Nan's eyes lit up at this moment.

What a beautiful and dashing American female soldier!

Her looks, temperament, and attire could easily outshine the most beautiful courtesans in the brothels!

Immediately, the American woman came to the main table and sat down next to Commander Yang Chuannan.

Su Nan knew Li Miaozhen's identity, but Governor Zhang, who had just arrived in Yunzhou, was completely bewildered.

He went through the list of officials in Yunzhou in his mind and found no information about this woman.

"And who is this?" Governor Zhang asked curiously.

Yang Chuannan laughed and said, "Governor Zhang probably hasn't heard of the famous heroine Feiyan."

"Her name is Li Miaozhen. She is a cavalry general hired by this official. In the past year or so, she has been suppressing bandits everywhere and has made many meritorious contributions."

"If we're talking about rewarding merit, I'll have to hand over my position as Commander-in-Chief to someone else."

Yang Chuannan's words drew a chorus of praise from the officials, who all expressed their admiration for the female general.

Clearly, the Flying Swallow Heroine was quite famous in the officialdom of Yunzhou.

Governor Zhang did not express his opinion, but simply nodded.

Yang Chuannan hired a cavalry general.

In other words, they were not officially employed and were not considered regular government generals.

After everyone was seated, the banquet officially began.

Two rows of dancers in colorful costumes, their shoulders exposed, entered the arena and danced gracefully to the accompaniment of musicians.

Su Nan's gaze was mostly fixed on Li Miaozhen.

Yes, this trip was worthwhile!

As expected of the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect, her external conditions are impeccable.

Of course, Su Nan didn't spy on them in a sinister way, but rather appreciated them openly and honestly.

Li Miaozhen, meanwhile, discreetly observed the members of the imperial envoy's entourage.

Her gaze was focused on Nangong Qianrou.

This is a fourth-rank martial artist!

But what this Jinluo is good at and what his personality is like are completely unknown.

Li Miaozhen lowered her head and took a sip of wine, then looked at Governor Zhang.

This person was a scholar with a weak constitution.

He was said to be a former censor, and was considered the backbone of the imperial envoy team.

At last.

Li Miaozhen's gaze fell on Su Nan.
