With the edict issued by His Majesty, Su Qi'an has attracted much attention in Kyoto, and the shooting of three powerful people Zheng Liang has just come to an end.
But everyone knows that on the surface, this matter is over, but privately, there is an undercurrent surging.
Su Qi'an's stay in the imperial city of Kyoto only lasted for seven days. Once the seven days were over, what awaited him was an endless pursuit.
But Su Qi'an acted like nothing happened. In the next seven days, apart from studying at the Hanlin Academy, he would spend the rest of the time walking around Kyoto, wherever there was excitement.
Just as His Majesty ordered, no matter where Su Qian went during these seven days, he did not bring even a single guard with him, and no one dared to take action against him.
Anyone who dares to take action at this time is an offense against the imperial power and will definitely die.
And most of them looked like they were watching a show. Even though the newly promoted Dongshan Marquis was having so much fun, his life was short, and it only lasted a few days.
Therefore, even those who have grievances, if they think about it for a moment, it is impossible to have any grudges with this short-lived ghost.
Therefore, during these seven days in Kyoto, Su Qi'an had a great time.
Be free and spontaneous.
The more Su Qian looked like this, the more everyone in Kyoto was sure that this was his carnival before his death.
Some people watched him coming from afar and avoided him, fearing that this short-lived ghost would bring bad luck to him.
Su Qi'an didn't care about these looks. After all, these people were not on the same level as him.
No one disturbed her, which made Su Qian feel quite at ease.
Of course, Su Qi'an's coolness will still be monitored from a distance, and then quickly reported to Zheng Guogong and others.
On the outskirts of Kyoto City, in a private room of a high-end restaurant, two old men stood at the window, looking at the bustling restaurant at the end of their sight.
Although the two old men were wearing clothes similar to those of ordinary people, one could tell at a glance that the materials were of the highest quality.
Outside the private room, there is a group of seemingly ordinary guards, but as soon as you take a look, you can tell that these people are not ordinary.
One of the two people standing in front of the window said, "Old Zheng, I think this boy is just struggling to his death. With His Majesty's decree, we can go ahead and do it. I think you should stop paying so much attention and wait until the opportunity comes." Come on, this kid is destined to die."
"Huh, Lao Zhao, you are speaking lightly. My son died tragically in front of me. Even if I cut him into pieces, it would be difficult to eliminate the murderous intention in my heart."
Zhao Guogong raised his eyebrows and said, "Qingqing, I am also suffering from the loss of my grandson. What did I say? Isn't your son's life more valuable than my grandson's?"
Feeling Zhao Guogong's indignation, Zheng Yuan suppressed the murderous intention towards Su Qi'an in his heart and quickly comforted him.
"Old Zhao, what are you talking about? I am not too hateful. I am excited for a moment. We all have a common enemy. We must not fight among ourselves because of this person. "
When Zheng Yuan said this, Zhao Guogong felt a little relieved and then asked seriously.
"Old Zheng, what are your plans for this man? It's been four days, and you're even hiding it from me? Isn't it quite interesting?"
Zheng Yuan was silent for a while, and then said, "Since we have talked about this, there is no need for me to hide it from you."
"When the seven days are over, Su Qi'an leaves Kyoto. Apart from the killers we arranged, I have already said hello in Xizhou."
"This time, even if Su Qian is lucky enough to escape our pursuit, but he can escape the monk, cannot escape the temple, and cannot kill him, I still want him to feel the pain of losing a loved one."
Zhao Guogong was obviously shocked by Zheng Yuan's words. He was not surprised by Zheng Yuan's arrangement, but that he was in such a remote place in Xizhou.
Zheng Yuan's tentacles can actually reach so far? How terrifying is the force behind this?
Seeing Zhao Guogong's surprised expression, Zheng Yuan quickly explained, "It's not that my sphere of influence extends far, it's just that I have some connections with the man in Xizhou in the early years."
"It's just a favor. Su Qian will definitely die this time when he returns to Xizhou!"
Zhao Guogong nodded, as if he agreed, and the two of them met again in the private room.
Du was chatting casually, and after a while, they left the private room one after another.
But before Zhao Guogong left, he didn't notice that there was a little darkness in Zheng Yuan's eyes.
As time passed, seven days passed quickly. Everyone in the imperial city was staring at the Hanlin Academy.
Many people in Kyoto were also staring at the passage where Su Qi'an left.
Su Qian's departure from Kyoto, his time and distance cannot be faked. It has been revealed in advance, and everyone is waiting.
Su Qi'an left this time with only the troops he brought with him when he entered Beijing, the new army and more than 60 people.
Su Qi'an did not take away the remaining forty people, but continued to protect Sun Wen, Liu Meng, and Xu Tangtang.
Knowing that Su Qi'an was leaving, the three of them had to follow him. They also knew how much risk there would be along the way when Su Qi'an left Kyoto this time.
Even if they can't help, they don't want to see Su Qian die.
But Su Qi'an still persuaded the three of them. After all, the three of them did an impressive job in Laixing Tower in Kyoto.
If they all follow Su Qian'an and evacuate, then there really won't be any of his informants in Kyoto.
Originally, outsiders did not know the relationship between Sun Wen and him in Kyoto, and they did not know that Laixing Tower was Su Qi'an's hidden stronghold in Kyoto.
Su Qi'an was unwilling to give up this stronghold, and before leaving, he had already greeted his master and took care of Xu Tangtang for him.
After all, Su Qi'an's future was full of danger when he returned to his hometown this time. He didn't want to see Lao Xu's only sister in danger.
With Master's care, Sun Wen and Liu Meng also have an extra layer of protection.
Although the three of them were very reluctant, they could understand Su Qi'an's good intentions.
But there were too few guards around Su Qi'an. They were worried about relying solely on the new army. ap.
In seven days, Sun Wen gathered together a guard of about 200 people to protect Su Qi'an's safety.
Although these two hundred people are not as strong as the new army, they are better because they have more people and can cooperate with each other. One more person can reduce the risk.
Su Qi'an did not refuse Sun Wen's kindness and fully accepted the two hundred guards.
With his current title and official title of Marquis, he can have an army of his own.
Let alone two hundred people, as long as Su Qi'an is willing, it will not be a problem to build an army of thousands of people.
But the strange thing is that even when Su Qian left, there was no army around him.
This doubt can be easily explained. Having an army requires His Majesty's approval.
It is estimated that His Majesty also saw Su Qi'an's commanding ability and was a little wary, so he did not approve the army for him.
This explanation makes sense to a group of dignitaries. The more His Majesty behaves like this, the more excited they are.
After saying goodbye to everyone in the Hanlin Academy, Su Qi'an left the imperial city with two hundred guards and headed towards Kyoto.
Not long after leaving the imperial city, a group of about a hundred forbidden troops waited for Su Qi'an for a long time.
Seeing Su Qi'an approaching, one of the leading generals said loudly, "According to His Majesty's decree, we will convey the order of Chu Zaifu and escort Dongshan Hou out of Kyoto."
The leading general spoke very loudly, as if he was deliberately speaking to the onlookers around him.
Su Qian nodded and asked the Forbidden Army general to lead the way.
Including this forbidden army team, there are at least more than 300 people, walking majestically on the main roads of Kyoto.
The people watching around them all gave way, feeling the scale in front of them. If nothing else, it was the aura of personal escort.
It is rare in Kyoto, and Dongshanhou is the first.
But it's a pity that this kind of scenery is fleeting after all. Once they leave Kyoto City, these forbidden troops will return.
The road ahead will have to be walked by Dongshan Hou himself.
The mighty people and horses slowly walked towards the gate of Kyoto. At this time, they were in a palace in the imperial city far behind.
The ninth princess was wearing a phoenix robe and standing in a garden. She looked forward.
That direction was officially the direction Su Qi'an left.
After a while, a figure appeared behind her. He was half-kneeling on the ground, with respect written all over his face.
At this time, the Ninth Princess spoke, "Uncle Lin, I am going to trouble you this time. Su Qi'an cannot die! No matter what, we must send him back to Xizhou safely."
"I obey," Guard Lin said respectfully.
But after a while, Lin Huwei's voice sounded again, "Your Majesty Ninth Prince, I still want to remind you of something. If you do this, Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't be easy for His Majesty to explain."
"Marquis Dongshan is a talented person, but is it worth your highness's efforts to fight for him?"
The Ninth Princess nodded, without any regret in her eyes. Instead, she was very determined and said softly.
"Uncle Lin, I will take care of my father's side, so you don't have to worry about it. You just need to ensure Su Qian's safety."
After the Ninth Princess said so, Guard Lin stopped talking and quickly turned around and disappeared.
The Ninth Princess who was standing in the garden was silent, then whispered, "Su Qi'an, please don't let me down. Because of you, I almost broke up with my father. You must survive. I look forward to it." The day you return to Kyoto."
The marching team quickly walked out of the gate of Kyoto City. After the escorting Imperial Guards had walked two or three miles forward, the leading Imperial Guards general saluted Su Qi'an respectfully.
In the end, only two words came out of his mouth, "Take care!"
Su Qi'an also returned the gift, and then watched the imperial army leave.
For Su Qi'an, the Imperial Guards still admired him very much. In the previous battle to defend Kyoto, the battle he commanded was a beautiful one.
Moreover, he treated his soldiers very well, with clear rewards and punishments. For the sake of his brothers who died in the battle, he dared to shoot three dignitaries including Zheng Liang who violated military discipline in person to prove the law.
Who wouldn't love such a commander, commander-in-chief?
It's a pity that they have to obey His Majesty's orders after all, and they can only watch helplessly as an excellent general dies miserably at any time.
After watching the imperial army leave, Su Qian suddenly said loudly to the people around him.
"I don't need to say more. You should know how dangerous it is ahead. If you follow me, you will lose your life."
"Now, I will give you a chance to survive. If you are afraid, you can leave directly. I will never embarrass you."
"We won't leave, we won't be afraid, we will protect the Marquis of Dongshan to the death."
"We will live and die together, never retreat!"
Su Qi'an's voice fell, and in an instant, the two hundred guards all erupted into a thundering voice. With such momentum, even the Kyoto City a few miles behind could feel its high emotions.
