The battle at the abandoned inn was thought to end with Gongsun Bo taking out the death-free gold medal.
But no one expected that the Great Liang royal family, His Majesty's daughter, the Ninth Princess, would actually appear in this remote Xizhou City.
Tang Feng, Xue Muxiu and other ladies all knew who the Ninth Princess was. She was His Majesty's favorite daughter.
Her status was so high that it was said that there was a dandy after the duke who somehow offended the ninth princess.
As a result, the man was hanged from a tree in Kyoto, stripped naked, and beaten for a day and a night.
Even if the Duke begged for mercy many times, it was of no avail, and the matter finally turned to His Majesty's side.
As a result, His Majesty said lightly that the Ninth Princess was grounded for three days and passed like this.
At that time, the incident was widely spread in Kyoto, and everyone in the state had heard about it.
From this incident, it is enough to see His Majesty's love for the Ninth Princess. Anyone who provokes the Ninth Princess is seeking death.
And just now, Gongsun Bo's behavior when he ordered to kill the Ninth Princess was enough to kill him hundreds of times.
Offending the royal family, committing the following offenses, even if you hold a gold medal for immunity from death, it will not help.
After all, offending the royal family and trying to kill members of the royal family is equivalent to being a traitor. No matter how Gongsun Bo defends him, it is useless.
It can only be said that Gongsun Bo's luck is really not very good. He can't mess with anyone, but he unexpectedly met this ninth princess.
Gongsun Bo's face was ashen at this moment. He knew that after this incident, the Gongsun family that had dominated Xizhou for many years was finished.
Tang Feng and Xue Muxiu did not sympathize with Gongsun Bo's experience. This was his own fault and he could not blame others.
The two of them are most concerned about now, not what Gongsun Bo will do, but what the Ninth Princess has planned in Xizhou City.
The two of them stepped forward, Su Qi'an, with smiles on their faces, said quickly, "I didn't expect Earl Su to be acquainted with the Ninth Princess. It's really eye-opening for us."
"Lord Zhou Mu, Zhou Wei, you have misunderstood..." Su Qi'an was about to explain, but was interrupted by the two of them.
"It goes without saying, Earl Su. We both understand. After all, the Ninth Princess's coming to Xizhou is a big deal. Naturally, we need to be cautious about where we go. Earl Su, don't be nervous."
"I just ask Earl Su to say a few kind words in front of the Ninth Princess. The two of us are very grateful."
Su Qi'an was speechless for a while, and his head was covered with black lines. These were all coming from nowhere. If he had known about this female snitch Ninth Girl, the current Ninth Princess of the Su family's royal family, he would have broken off with her long ago.
Being related to the royal family, it seems that they have endless power, one person is above them and ten thousand people are below them, but similarly, the thoughts of the members of the royal family are also the most difficult to guess.
If someone is not good, he might have greeted him with a smile just a moment ago, but the next second he would have made sarcastic remarks, and then he would have been dragged out and chopped.
Su Qi An couldn't stay away from this kind of royal person.
Seeing Tang Feng and Xue Muxiu's expressions of "I understand, I understand", Su Qian wanted to slap them both.
Forget it, after thinking for a while, Su Qi'an didn't bother to explain. Anyway, no matter how he explained, it was getting darker and darker, so he simply accepted it.
After saying a few words casually, the two of them were sent away. Su Qian turned around and was about to leave.
In this battle at the inn, Su Qi'an suffered a lot of casualties, over a hundred people, only less than thirty survived, and the rest all died in the battle.
Su Qi'an sighed. He was still too careless and not cautious enough. If there were more reinforcements, he could have rehearsed more in advance and taken more precautions, and probably wouldn't have killed most of them.
Seeing Su Qi'an with a sad look on his face, Lieutenant Wang expressed relief, "Mr. Su, I don't blame you for this battle. As soldiers, it is our duty to dress, eat and fight."
"Today we were able to defeat the strong with the weak and kill more than 200 people. I think the brothers who died in the battle are also proud."
"After following my husband for so long, the brothers all said that he was the best to them. From him, I found the dignity of being a new person. I died for my husband, and died well, without any regrets."
"Yes, Captain Wang is right, sir, there is no need to blame yourself, we can
Die for your husband and die without regrets. "
Beside him, the only remaining soldier also spoke in agreement. Su Qian nodded, looked at the crowd of people waiting, and said.
"Okay, I understand, Lieutenant Wang. Each of the dead brothers will order a coffin, and each will receive a death pension of one hundred taels. If there are wives and children, five taels of living expenses will be paid every month until they reach adulthood."
"No matter what, I promised my brothers that if I come out with you, I will take them back too."
"Sir, you are so righteous. We will go through fire and water for him without any hesitation, and we will die without regrets."
Captain Wang and others all knelt down, their faces turned red, and they roared.
From the bottom of their hearts, they felt that following Su Qi'an was such a blessing.
Only Su Qian treated them as human beings, not chess pieces. It was their honor to die for such people.
Su Qi'an waved, and the wounded soldiers helped each other and slowly returned to Su's house.
But as soon as he stepped into Su's house, the scene in front of him surprised Su Qian.
Because the ninth princess did not leave, nor did she move into the mansion specially prepared by Tang Feng. She still lived in this Su residence.
The Ninth Princess sat on a stone chair, surrounded by the guards who had previously protected her.
In the courtyard, Qin Huai and other mansion staff all stood aside obediently, not daring to express their anger.
Miss Ninth's identity has been widely spread since her return home, let alone Su Zhai.
Even the entire street opposite has been cleared. All the entrances and exits of the street are protected by a large number of soldiers, both openly and secretly. Let alone people, not even a fly can fly in.
Seeing Su Qi'an come in, Qin Huai breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward, Su Qi'an signaled.
Qin Huai called for help, took the injured soldier over and looked after him.
Su Qi'an stepped forward quickly, with a calm face, and respectfully saluted Ninth Girl.
"Su is paying homage to His Royal Highness the Ninth Princess. I wonder what the purpose of Your Highness's visit is."
The Ninth Princess raised her eyes, looked at Su Qi'an, and said softly, "Earl Su, you really made me wait. Come in with me. I have something to tell you."
After saying these words, the Ninth Princess stood up, turned around and entered the room. Su Qian nodded and looked at the guards on both sides cautiously.
The guard did not stop him and watched Su Qi'an enter the room indifferently.
With the departure of Ninth Princess and Su Qi'an, the tense atmosphere in the courtyard relaxed a little. Qin Huai's face was tense, and he looked at the closed door.
I'm worried about Su Qi'an, wondering whether Su Qi'an's situation is good or bad this time.
The two entered the room, and the Ninth Princess's voice directly sounded, "Earl Su, do you know your guilt?"
Su Qi'an was stunned. He had no idea why the Ninth Princess would say this, but he didn't panic. He calmed down for a while and asked, "Ninth Princess, please tell me what crime Su is guilty of."
"What Count Su did that night while I was injured and unconscious was to the extent of offending the royal family. According to the laws of the Great Liang, anyone who offends the royal family will have his mouth cut off."
The corner of Su Qian's mouth twitched, but she felt helpless in her heart. She didn't expect that the ninth princess would still mention this matter.
Although he wanted to explain, unfortunately, in Great Liang, the royal family is the real heaven. Even if your tongue is as bright as a lotus, the royal family wants to punish you with just one sentence.
Su Qian shook his head, and then said, "Su admits this crime. Who made Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess the royal family? Su has nothing to say, but Su has something to ask of the Ninth Princess."
"I hope the Ninth Princess can be merciful and not harm innocent people. Su will take full responsibility for this matter. The other people in Su's house hope that the Ninth Princess can let them go."
"Oh, I didn't expect Earl Su to have a kind heart, but if I don't agree to this matter."
The Ninth Princess raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Qi'an with a hint of provocation.
Su Qian's expression changed, she took a deep breath, looked at the Ninth Princess seriously, and said softly.
"If the Ninth Princess insists on doing this, Su will have no choice but to commit the following crime."
"Are you threatening me?"
"Jiu Gong
The Lord may think so, but for them, Su has no other choice. Even if the Ninth Princess is a high-ranking royal family, Su will fight hard. "
The two sides looked directly at each other like this, and for a moment, the atmosphere in the air was a little tense.
As time passed, about a moment later, the cold-faced Ninth Princess suddenly burst into laughter.
Then under Su Qi'an's somewhat surprised gaze, the Ninth Princess changed her noble temperament and sat casually on Su Qi'an's bed, smiling.
"When it comes to dealing with outsiders, even when dealing with the aloof royal family, he is able to face danger without fear. I was indeed right about Mr. Su."
"Your Majesty Ninth Prince, what are you doing?" Su Qian was a little stunned.
Ninth Princess curled her lips and said, "Your Highness, Ninth Princess, pretending to be this kind of identity all day long is really exhausting. If Mr. Su is willing, please call me Miss Ninth."
Seeing the Ninth Princess who seemed to be a completely different person, Su Qi'an couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
The Ninth Princess shook her head and said with the same casual look, "What an idiot. What's wrong? It takes the Ninth Princess's majestic posture to make you accept it. Can't you, sir, adapt to my current appearance?"
Su Qi'an shook his head repeatedly and said, "Jiu Gong...Miss, that's not it. It's just that Jiu Gong's changes before and after are really a bit..."
"The contrast is too great, isn't it?" Miss Ninth curled her lips and said, "Humph, what I don't like the most is that kind of pretentiousness. It's too old-fashioned and not fun at all. After you come out, you can do whatever you want. This That’s the purpose of my trip.”
Seeing Miss Ninth returning to her original appearance, Su Qi'an was a little bit dumbfounded. This was probably the most unlikeable royal member he had ever seen.
If the outside world knew about this Princess of Great Liang, their jaws would probably drop due to such a contrast. However, there is one thing to say: compared to the taller and superior Ninth Princess, Su Qian still liked this approachable, lively and playful Ninth Girl.
Miss Ninth, who was sitting on the bed, after chatting with Su Qi'an, the smile on her face faded and she spoke seriously.
"Okay, Mr. Su, let's get down to business. Do you think the Gongsun family is really the mastermind behind the trouble in Xizhou?"
