Su Qian nodded and said softly, "Yes, that maid is Lao Xu's sister."
"Is this... could this be a mistake?" Su Yong felt a huge wave of emotion in his heart. He and Lao Xu had a good relationship. After all, they came from the same battlefield.
This is not to question Su Qi'an, but for such a big matter, if it is true, it is better to be cautious.
Su Qi'an shook his head, "This is probably correct. The tattoo of the refugee is exactly the same as the one on Lao Xu. If you look closely, the appearance of this maid is somewhat similar to Lao Xu."
"Sir, what are you waiting for? Why not take her out?" Su Yong said.
"Su Yong, don't worry. Didn't I tell you that this matter cannot be rushed. We need to wait for the right time. If we take it out now, it will follow the wishes of the Sun family."
"When we step into Kyoto, we must ensure our own safety every step of the way and leave no excuses. Only in this way can we protect those around us."
"So the time you mentioned is tonight?"
Seeing that Su Qi'an was speechless, Su Yong showed admiration on his face, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, you still have the foresight, and my subordinates have learned from it."
"Go on, tonight is not a peaceful night." Su Qian ordered, and Su Yong's figure disappeared instantly.
Su Qi'an stood in the darkness, looked at the small courtyard shrouded in moonlight, and said softly, "Whether we can gain a foothold in Kyoto depends on tonight."
The full moon hangs high in the sky, and the soft moonlight pours down. The entire Kyoto seems to be covered with a thin veil, and it looks very quiet.
In the silent dark streets, as the sky becomes darker, occasionally, there is only the sound of snoring one after another.
A gust of wind blew, and black shadows, like ghosts, moved with the wind, climbed over the wall, and walked on the tiles of the roof without making any sound.
These black figures moved very quickly, and within a few flashes, they arrived near a courtyard on East Street.
They pressed their bodies against the courtyard wall and moved forward quickly. They did not climb over the wall, but came to the entrance of the other courtyard.
After waiting quietly, after a while, the closed door opened a crack, the gap widened, and the black shadow moved forward, sideways, and came to the other courtyard.
At the same time, on the wall near the other courtyard, more than a dozen black shadows swooped over the wall, and their bodies quickly disappeared into the shadows in the corner.
The leader looked at the maid in front of him who opened the door for him and asked softly, "Have you confirmed the residence of that person?"
"Well, Uncle Su lives in the first room on the left on the second floor. He doesn't have many people with him. There are only a few people. They have been knocked out by me using the incense. You guys start quickly."
The leading man in black raised his brows, looked at the maid with an appreciative look, and whispered, "You did a good job. When the matter is completed, you will be free."
"Brothers, act quickly, fight quickly, take Su Qian'an's head to claim the reward, go ahead."
The black shadows stepped on the ground with their soles, their bodies rose into the air, and the swords in their hands emitted cold light, and they rushed towards the room where Su Qi'an lived on the second floor.
Just when I was about to break the window and leave, suddenly, whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Arrows shot straight out.
"No, there's an ambush. We've fallen into a trap. Get out quickly."
The man in black looked shocked, stamped his feet fiercely, the sword in his hand flew, and used the force to retreat.
As the man in black reacted quickly, two or three more people were shot by the sudden hidden arrows and fell to the ground.
The other men in black didn't stop, turned around and were about to rush out of the courtyard wall. At this time, Su Qian's voice suddenly sounded.
"Haha, you're already here. If you don't stay and sit down, it means that Su is being stingy. Please stay."
As the voice fell, more than a dozen figures appeared on the walls surrounding the courtyard. Each of them held a long bow and fired arrows.
These men in black are not weak, but in the encirclement like iron barrels, even if they fight desperately to break out, it will not help.
The leaders in black were lucky enough to break out of the encirclement, but they didn't have time to continue escaping.
In front of them, several black figures rushed out, and the two sides quickly exchanged blows.
not any
Unexpectedly, the leader in black was no match for the black shadow, and was defeated in just a few rounds.
Kicked in the chest, the body flew out, and finally landed firmly in the middle of the small courtyard.
In the small courtyard, except for these black-clothed leaders, all the other killers were killed.
The leader in black looked at the group of masters coming down from the courtyard wall with a ruthless expression.
Turning his eyes, he looked at Su Qi'an sitting on the balcony on the second floor, with a maid standing next to him.
This maid was none other than the spy who opened the door for him earlier.
I just didn't expect that this insider would be instigated so quickly. The leader in black snorted coldly and was about to take action. The next moment, Su Yong rushed over.
A leg and knee hit the leader in black hard on the chest. The leader in black turned pale and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Among the spurting blood, a small pill about half the size of a fingernail was spat out.
Su Qi'an, who was sitting on the second floor, said softly, "You dead warriors, what else can you do besides committing suicide?"
"Hmph, Su Qian is in trouble for us this time, but don't get any information from us."
Even though the leader in black was seriously injured, he was still very tough and spoke angrily,
Su Qian shook his head, stood up, jumped down from the second floor, came to the leader in black, and said softly.
"Don't worry, who are you, who is the force behind you, and why did you assassinate me? Don't worry, Su is not interested in knowing."
"Su Mou can even let you go back, tell the person behind you, tell him, since you are determined to get rid of me, if you don't get rid of me this time, your master's life will not be easy in the future. I will do it one by one. Come to my door and let them know that if you attack me, the consequences will be disastrous."
The black-clothed leader did not comment on Su Qi'an's threat, but there was deep disdain on his face.
In his opinion, Su Qian's arrogant words were just to show off in front of him and show off.
The power of his master was so great that it was beyond the power of a small Su Qi to overthrow him.
After all, he is a loser. He just wants to have a sense of existence in front of him.
When his master takes action, no amount of Su Qian will be enough to kill him.
The black-clothed leader's disdain naturally fell into Su Qian's eyes.
Su Qian'an smiled and said, "No problem, I'll show you today who Su will knock down first."
"Su Yong, throw them out, let's go. If you dare to cause trouble for me, you have to find trouble tonight."
Su Yong picked up the leader in black and threw them out of the courtyard the next moment.
The leader in black was like a few rag bags, thrown casually on the street, his face covered with dirt, and he looked quite embarrassed.
Several people stood up slowly with pale faces. As dead soldiers, they also had their own dignity, but they did not expect to be ignored by Su Qian. This was the first time in their hearts.
Seeing Su Qi'an leading a group of people, they left the courtyard and walked towards the street.
This scene made several leaders in black look ugly, but they did not dare to break out.
Through their previous contact, they were able to determine that the people around Uncle Su were so powerful that they could completely crush them.
Besides these ten or so people, the leader in black could clearly detect that there were also hidden masters in the other courtyard.
There are at least dozens of such masters, maybe more. If they want to enter the other courtyard while Su Qi'an is away at this time, they are sure to walk in and come out lying down.
Su Qian's power was seriously underestimated by them.
The leader in black even cursed secretly, "Whatever damn information you gave me, these are just a bunch of idiots."
"Boss, what do you think we will do next? Do we really have to go back?" the person next to him asked.
"Go back? Su Qian's head hasn't been taken, how can you go back?"
"Hmph, didn't this Dongshan Bo make arrogant words, and tonight he will overthrow the forces that attacked him?"
"This news was provided by the Sun family. Although the Sun family is not a powerful family, just Su Qi'an wants to do it overnight.
It is simply impossible to bring it down. "
"I would like to see what Su Qian's ability is to bring down the Sun family."
With that said, the leaders in black supported each other and quickly followed Su Qi'an as he left.
Kyoto government office.
Although the door was dark, there were only two bright lanterns hanging under the eaves, swaying in the wind, and it looked very peaceful.
But inside the yamen, in a room, candlelight flickered, and Fu Yin, Sun Wen, and Sun Xing were all present in the room.
The faces of the three people were tense. Although they were very tired, they had no intention of falling asleep.
The three of them were holding on, as if waiting for something.
After a long time, Sun Wen spoke again, "Uncle, do you think the people sent by Zhao Guogong can really kill Su Qi'an? Are we doing this too hastily?"
Fu Yin shook his head and said, "My dear nephew, you don't understand. This Su Qian is too cunning. This person is too dangerous to my uncle at the banquet. We are not the same as him at all."
"Regardless of the calm situation now, once he gains power in Kyoto, we will be the first to be targeted. Therefore, things will change later. The sooner we get rid of him, the better."
"The person taking action this time is Zhao Guogong. We can test his strength. If we can get rid of him, that would be the best. Even if we can't kill him, we can adjust our strategy in time and be ready for the next move at any time."
"Yes, I think my uncle is right. Brother, I think you were frightened by Su Qian on the border battlefield. Why did you turn the tide on your own? I think you were probably bragging."
"With the help of Zhao Guogong's people, this Su Qi'an will not escape death. Let's just wait for the good news." Sun Xing beside him said calmly and comforted.
Sun Wen's face was still tense and his eyes flickered. Just as he accepted the two people's advice, the fear in his heart towards Su Qi'an disappeared little by little.
Suddenly, a chuckle sounded in this room.
"Haha, it turns out that this was a good idea made by Fu Yin and the Sun family. It's a pity that your idea failed tonight."
The moment this familiar voice sounded, the expressions of the three people suddenly changed, especially Sun Wen, and the hair on his body instantly stood up.
The three of them stared blankly at the door with horrified faces. The closed door opened, and Su Qian walked over, looking at the crowd with a smile, and said softly.
"You three are really in good spirits. You are up so late. Are you waiting for news from Su? But judging from your expressions, Su came at the wrong time."
