In the room, Su Qi'an sat upright and looked at the letter handed over by Captain Wang.
The writer of the letter was an old acquaintance of Su Qi'an, the Xitu captain who escaped from Su Qi'an.
The meaning of the letter was very simple. Captain Xitu wanted to invite Su Qi'an to have a talk, hoping to resolve the grievances between Su Qi'an and the Gongsun family.
This Xitu captain dared to intervene in this matter, so he naturally had the confidence.
After missing for several months, not only did he survive, he actually became a guest of the Gongsun family, responsible for handling external conflicts with the Gongsun family.
This time, Su Qi'an was invited to come and talk about it, which was also authorized by the Gongsun family.
"Huh, who is this honorable person? If I say hello to you, sir, I have to cooperate with him, right? It's a joke. As long as you give the order, sir, I will definitely bring people to find this guy."
Qin Huai, who was beside him, shook his head, "It's okay to grab him alone, but with his current status, there is really no reason to touch him. This does not give the Gongsun family a chance to take action against us."
"And this person is so confident, mainly because she knows her brother-in-law too well. He has said above that if the brother-in-law refuses, there is no guarantee that something will happen to some of the people under the brother-in-law."
"This person must be eliminated. I think this is a good opportunity."
Su Qi'an nodded, agreeing more with what Qin Huai said. This Xitu captain had fought against him many times and knew his own details better.
If this person is left here, he will be a disaster sooner or later, so he simply takes this opportunity to kill him.
Leave it alone, who knows what will happen.
Colonel Wang nodded, and understood Qin Huai's worries, and said, "Sir, an order has been issued. What to do next, I will leave it up to you." "
"Well, isn't Captain Xitu negotiating on behalf of the Gongsun family? Then let's make the matter bigger. Let's do this next..."
The next day, the sky brightened, and the life in the city was gradually awakened. At this time, at the door of Su's house.
A large number of teams dispersed on both sides to escort a carriage.
Su Qi'an and Miss Jiu got on the carriage in front of everyone. The soldiers around them each held their hands on the handles of their swords, with serious expressions. The solemn feeling made people dare not approach.
The commotion at the door of Su's house naturally attracted the attention of passers-by.
The size of the team for this trip, in addition to the twenty Heilu guards, there were at least more than seventy or eighty soldiers on the outside.
The escort team of one hundred people was almost all the troops Su Qi'an could use in Xizhou City.
This kind of movement made countless people look sideways, all curious about what happened.
In Xizhou City, the children of the aristocratic families will always have some guards around them, but the number will never exceed twenty or thirty.
In the huge Xizhou City, who would dare to cause trouble, and it is rare for a hundred guards like Su Qi'an to be dispatched at once.
Those who didn't know thought that Su Qi'an was leaving Xizhou City, and the carriage drove all the way out of the city.
The Su residence in the city was guarded by Qin Huai and a small number of soldiers.
The current Su Zhai's defense is the lowest, but if anyone feels it, they can take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. That could not be more wrong.
Not to mention that the person who donated this house was Tang Xiao, the son of Zhou Mu. Even if they were lucky enough to sneak in, what was waiting for them was the new army hiding everywhere to beat them up.
Rather than being interested in Su Zhai, these people were more curious about what Su Qian was doing outside the city.
Countless pairs of eyes, like shadows, secretly followed the carriage behind Su Qi'an.
This is the effect Su Qi'an wants. This time he travels openly and openly, just to let the people in the city know.
As long as there is attention, the news of today's incident will not be trivial. The more this happens, the safer he will be.
The more calmly you can deal with it, the more you can negotiate in the future.
Su Qi'an wanted to see what the Xitu Captain was up to.
The location we went to this time was an abandoned inn, at least twenty miles away from Xizhou City.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s a place with few people.
The convoy drove all the way, the road
There were no surprises. After all, some information about the unexpected bandit suppression some time ago had been kept secret even though it had been kept secret.
It was said that this Earl Su, on a whim, wiped out all the bandits who had been entrenched on the outskirts of the city for many years with only about twenty people.
When the news came out, it was naturally quite a shock. Those who knew Su Qi'an's past record of suppressing bandits were accustomed to his performance.
But for the surrounding bandits, just hearing Su Qi'an's name would make them tremble with fear.
Those who are familiar with it should notify them in advance. As long as they see Su Qi'an's motorcade, they will run away immediately and will not stay for long.
If anyone really goes to rob Su Qi'an's motorcade, it can only be said that his life is too long.
It is no exaggeration to say that Su Qi'an is now famous among the bandit circles in Xizhou, and is called a devil by these bandits.
Su Qian was a little bit dumbfounded by the sudden mention of this title. But he didn't argue.
Some things change as they are passed on, but sometimes they do have some benefits for me.
These days, who can do anything if they can use shock to solve the problem?
The carriage drove smoothly all the way, and it took about half an hour for the team to arrive at the abandoned inn.
The inn was abandoned. Because they had to receive Su Qi'an, they arranged for someone to disturb it before coming. From a distance, although it was dilapidated, it was still clean.
At the door of the inn, two figures swayed and quickly came to the carriage, looking respectful.
"We have been ordered to greet Uncle Su. We also ask him to get out of the car and follow us in."
The car curtain opened, Su Qi'an and Miss Jiu got out of the car, and led by two guards, they walked in.
As for Wang Xiaowei and other guards, they dispersed and surrounded the inn.
In the courtyard of the inn, there was a table. Captain Xitu was sitting alone, making tea and watching Su Qi'an coming.
Captain Xitu stood up with a smile on his face, "Haha, Mr. Su, long time no see. After a few months, Mr. Su is still as charming as ever, and he has also been promoted to a noble title. I really admire him."
"It's nothing like me. Since we parted ways that day, I've been practicing for several months. I can't even save my arm, so I can only find a job to survive."
In response to Captain Xitu's complaints when they met, Su Qi'an said softly, "Being a guest of the Gongsun family, and being able to represent the Gongsun family and be fully responsible for external affairs, Captain Xitu, is not something ordinary people can do."
"Thinking about it now, my only regret is that I couldn't leave you in Sanshi'ao. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you be so free and even dare to threaten me."
"Haha, what did Mr. Su say? I am not a threat. I just don't want to see the two big shots getting into a fight. This is not good for the people of Xizhou."
"Oh, Captain Xitu is an honorable man, but he actually cares about the life and death of our Liang people. It's interesting." Su Qi'an raised his eyebrows, with a cold look on his face.
Captain Xitu was still smiling, nodded and said, "Hai, if you eat the master's food, why don't you smash the master's bowl?"
As they spoke, the two sat on the table opposite each other, and the nine girls behind them stood beside them like a maid.
Captain Xitu glanced at Miss Ninth, then his eyes fell on Su Qi'an and said, "Mr. Su is so lucky. No matter where he goes, there are beauties following him. Your charm is extraordinary."
"If you have nothing to say, Captain Xitu, you can shut up. This is why Captain Xitu brought me here. Captain Xitu, you can't leave today."
Su Qian's face was indifferent, and the meaning of his words was obvious.
This kind of revealed murderous intention, if it were other people, they would have been violent and violent, but Captain Xitu ignored it, with a smile on his face, very calm.
"Mr. Su, don't worry. There are Mr. Su's people all around. No matter how bold I am, I don't dare to play tricks on Mr. Su. I just haven't seen him for a long time and I just want to catch up with him."
"Now that you have spoken, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. I invite you here this time because I hope you can stop targeting the Gongsun family and that both parties will stop."
"As long as you, sir, can shake hands and make peace, the Gongsun family can guarantee that all the properties in Xizhou City can be shared with Suji Trading Company."
"This condition is good, but now that Suji Trading Co., Ltd. has shared the property of Xizhou City with other forces and powerful people, it is too late for the Gongsun family to propose this condition at this time."
Captain Xitu nodded and acknowledged what Su Qi'an said. In Xizhou City today, Su Ji Trading Company has become a presence no less powerful than the three major forces.
There is no need for so-called sharing from the Gongsun family. If the fight continues, these resources will belong to Suji Trading Company sooner or later.
Lieutenant Xitu smiled and said, "Sir, you are right. This kind of condition really cannot impress you, but I have one thing that I want to tell you, and I hope you can consider it."
"Sir, in this tit-for-tat confrontation with the Gongsun family, you are careful to become someone's pawn. In the end, the snipe and the clam will fight, and the fisherman will benefit. Any balance of power will be broken, and it will be difficult to maintain it."
Su Qi'an nodded and said with a smile, "Captain Xitu knows a lot. Ah, this kind of sharp foresight is rare among honorable people. Su is very curious about the identity of Captain Xitu."
"With a talent like yours, being a captain is really humiliating."
Captain Xitu smiled without saying anything.
At this time, Su Qi'an turned his eyes, glanced around, and sighed.
"Captain Xitu worked so hard to choose such a remote place. This place is really suitable for killing people and burying their bones."
"I think the so-called negotiation is just a cover. Captain Xitu, after spending so long, your ambush should be over."
"Let them come out and let Su know your methods."
After saying these words, Captain Xitu's expression suddenly froze when he was originally smiling.
He stared at Su Qi'an blankly for a long time, then laughed the next moment.
"Haha. Uncle Su's intelligence is truly outstanding. Everything I have done has probably been seen through by my husband."
"That's fine. Since Mr. Su wants to see it, let's see the ambush arranged by this Captain for Mr. Su."
Xitu clapped his hands, and instantly, a large number of people rushed out from the outside of the inn.
These people were wearing black clothes and holding large swords. They immediately surrounded Xiaowei Wang and others.
