"Since that's the case, then let's have 300 guards. I'll return them to the Zou family head after the matter is settled.”
After Su Yan chose the first option, he immediately agreed with Zou Zhi's suggestion.
"Come, Zou Family Head, let me toast you again.”
Su Yan raised his cup to the Zou family and smiled.
"Sir, please!"
The Zou family members stood up one after another and toasted Su Yan before taking their seats.
After solving the current problem, Su Yan's mood couldn't help but feel better. He started to chat with the Zou family.
After a while, a maid walked in.
She jogged to Zou Zhi's side and leaned over to say a few words. Zou Zhi waved her away.
Turning to look at Su Yan, Zou Zhi smiled and said,"In front of the county magistrate, my daughter just sent a maid to send a message, hoping to invite you to the backyard for a chat.”
"A precious daughter?"
Su Yan was stunned for a moment before he immediately understood that the person he was referring to was Zou Yu.
He hesitated and said,"This…" That's not very good. Your lady hasn't married yet. It's not appropriate for me to go like this, right?”
"Sigh, there's no need to worry, my lord!"
Zou Zhi laughed and said," The county magistrate saved my daughter's life. My Zou family is not a big aristocratic family. We don't have so many rules. You can go without worry."”
Since Zou Zhi, as his father, had already said so, Su Yan could not refuse.
He stood up and cupped his hands at the people in the hall, then followed the maid to the backyard.
After Su Yan left, everyone in the hall congratulated Zou Zhi,"Congratulations to Patriarch for getting such a good son-in-law. Our Zou family will soon dominate Zhuo County!”
"Haha!"
Zou Zhi was very happy to be congratulated by everyone and laughed out loud.
.............
Su Yan followed the maid to the backyard of the Zou family.
After going around a fake mountain, there was a clear pond in front of them.
In the middle of the pond was a small pavilion.
Zou Yu, who was dressed in a white dress, was sitting in a pavilion. Two maids stood behind her.
"Greetings, County Magistrate."
Su Yan walked into the pavilion, and the maids bowed and greeted him.
"Young Master, no, I greet Lord Su!"
When Zou Yu saw Su Yan walking over, her eyes lit up. Just as she was about to call him young master, she realized that his identity was still not right and hurriedly changed it.
"Miss Zou, there's no need to be so polite."
Su Yan waved his hand, indicating that Zou Yu did not need to be so polite.
"Today, I heard that you came to my Zou Clan as a guest, so I wanted to meet you. I hope you won't blame me.”
Zou Yu said apologetically.
"No, your father helped me a lot just now. I can't thank him enough, so how can I blame him?”
Su Yan said with a smile.
He got up and said," The weather is not bad today. Let's take a walk by the pond."”
"I will listen to you, Milord."
Zou Yu stood up as well, and the two of them slowly walked around the lotus pond.
As they were walking, Zou Yu suddenly said,"I am truly grateful that you saved me that day."”
"There's no need to thank me.”
Su Yan smiled and waved his hand.
Zou Yu nodded and asked,""I wonder if you usually study?"
Su Yan felt a little strange and nodded.”
"Then what books do you read?"
she asked.
"A lot. I've read the Analects of Confucius, the Spring and Autumn Annals, Zuo Zhuan, and so on.”
Su Yan replied.
"Sir, you know so much?"
Zou Yu looked at Su Yan in surprise.
"I can't be considered to understand it, I've only dabbled in it a little. I just know its meaning and can't recite it.”
Su Yan shook his head.
"I see."
Zou Yu nodded and believed Su Yan's words.
If Su Yan said that he could completely memorize it, she would not believe it.
Now, he openly admitted that he could not recite, which gave the impression that he was honest.
The two of them walked for a while more. Su Yan had nothing to do and started chatting with her. From time to time, he would say some poetic ancient sentences, which made Zou Yu admire him.
Time passed quickly.
Su Yan saw that it was getting late, so he bade farewell to Zou Yu. Then, he met Zou Zhi and left the Zou Residence.
As for the 300 guards that they had agreed on earlier, the Zou family would send someone to bring them over tomorrow.
"Ding! Choose to ask 300 guards to defeat the mountain bandits. Reward: Phoenix Wing Gold-plated Boring Tool, Weapon Boring Technique Master Level!”
The sound of the system notification rang out. Immediately after, Su Yan felt a familiar warm current.
This warm current came and went quickly. It did not take as long as the previous cleansing.
For a time, a large number of methods to use Tang suddenly appeared in Su Yan's mind.
Within his muscles, there were many memories about weapons.
Boring was one of the most commonly used weapons in ancient times. It had existed since the Sui Dynasty and was developed in the Tang Dynasty.
The most famous was the Sui Dynasty's Tianbao General, Yuwen Cheng.
A phoenix wing gold-plated boring had defeated all the heroes in the world. Its power was second only to Li Yuanba, the fourth son of the Tang King!
Su Yan did not know how powerful Yu Wencheng was, but he knew that his current strength was already considered a first-rate general.
The solid foundation laid by the Marrow Cleansing Pill before, coupled with this grandmaster-level weapon boring technique.
Su Yan was confident that he could match a first-rate general.
Of course, he would only know after trying.
Since he was on the carriage back to the county office, it was inconvenient to take out the Phoenix Wing Gold-plated Boring Tool. Therefore, Su Yan stored it in the system first and did not retrieve it.
Just as the carriage passed through the bustling downtown area, the sound of horses whining could be heard.
"Young Master, there's a crowd blocking the way.”
Xiao Yu's voice was heard. Su Yan lifted the curtain and looked over.
On the street in front of him, a group of people had gathered together and blocked the road.
Su Yan frowned and walked over.
The crowd in front of him had gathered into a ball. Some people saw that Su Yan's aura was extraordinary and made way for him.
Su Yan looked inside and saw a young man supporting an old woman sitting on the ground in the middle of the crowd.
"What's going on?"
Su Yan asked.
"This young man's mother suddenly fell ill. He wanted to ask a doctor to treat his mother, but because he didn't have money, the doctor refused, so he was stuck here.”
The commoners at the side explained.
