"Okay, let's go!"
Su Qi'an nodded with satisfaction, and then the mighty team set off.
As expected, before everyone had gone a few hundred meters, a large group of killers wearing black clothes and holding large knives appeared in front of them.
At a rough glance, the number of people was at least over a hundred, and they were exuding evil aura.
You can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person. After all, most killers hide in the dark and kill.
How could they be like them, waiting for Su Qi'an on his way upright and aboveboard.
If you dare to do this, you are absolutely confident in your own strength, and you don't even bother to use that kind of low-level attack.
In fact, more importantly, there is another point, that is, no matter how noisy they are in this attack, no one in Kyoto will intervene.
This is a tacit agreement, so these killers can take action without any scruples.
One of the leaders looked at Su Qi'an who was well protected and said coldly.
"I have long heard of the name of Marquis Dongshan. It is an honor for us to intercept and kill Marquis Dongshan today. Don't worry, for the sake of Marquis Dongshan repelling the honorable soldiers, I will give you a dignified death."
"Really? If you want to kill me, just you guys, I'm afraid it won't be enough."
"Brother, kill!" The leader didn't mean to continue talking nonsense and snorted coldly.
The next moment, he took the lead and rushed towards Su Qi'an.
The guards protecting Su Qi'an, holding broadswords, also rushed over.
A fierce melee immediately broke out between the two sides, but these killers of more than a hundred people were quite capable.
He was obviously at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but with his skills, he had the upper hand when the time came.
This leader, in particular, killed many guards and jumped up, almost rushing in front of Su Qi'an. The closest distance was less than ten meters.
Fortunately, these selected guards were carefully selected by Sun Wen. Although their strength was not top-notch, their mutual cooperation made them outstanding.
In an instant, a group of about ten guards stopped the leader, and the two sides fought fiercely.
Su Qi'an was protected in the rear, and standing in front of him was Huang Wenyan.
Since following Su Qi'an to the battlefield in Kyoto, Huang Wenyan has become a close follower and rarely leaves Su Qi'an's side.
He was very lucky when he went to the battlefield. In such a dangerous battle to defend Kyoto, he didn't have any trouble at all and got off the battlefield safely.
Knowing that Su Qi'an would be intercepted and killed, he followed him without hesitation.
To give up recruiting the powerful people of the Kyoto family is to give up one's own bright future, and to follow Su Qi'an to endure hardships, and even risk one's life.
But Huang Wenyan has no regrets at all. For him, if he can meet a confidant who understands him, what does the so-called future mean?
Moreover, Huang Wenyan believed that Su Qi'an was not a fish in the pond. As long as he could resolve the crisis, he would definitely have great potential in the future.
He was also betting that Su Qi'an would have the last laugh and become the truly powerful person in Great Liang.
Therefore, he accompanied Su Qi'an as his staff.
As soon as he left Kyoto, he encountered such interceptions. Huang Wenyan's face was solemn. He stood in front of Su Qi'an and advised Su Qi'an to stay back for his safety.
But Su Qi'an smiled and shook his head, with no trace of panic on his face.
He patted Huang Wenyan on the shoulder and said, "Wenyan, don't be nervous. This is just the first wave. There will be more interceptions and kills later. If the first wave can't be stopped, then I don't need to go back to Xizhou."
Huang Wenyan nodded, but he was still not as nervous as Panasonic. He paid attention to the dynamics of the battlefield at any time in case of any changes.
Immediately cover Su Qi'an's retreat. After all, Su Qi'an's life cannot be gambled.
The fierce battle between the guards and the killers lasted for about a stick of incense.
Both sides suffered a lot of casualties, but judging from the current situation, it would be difficult for these assassins to break through the protection of the guards in a short time, let alone assassinate Su Qi'an.
These guards are not very strong, but their cooperation with each other gives the killers quite a headache.
pain.
The killer leader who was talking big words just now didn't look as relaxed as before.
He had dealt with the powerful guards of Kyoto, but in his opinion, they were just a bunch of cowards who had never seen blood.
Who would have thought that after seeing the blood, these guards not only showed no sign of retreating, but instead screamed and looked like they were fighting for their lives.
Although they killed many people, they also suffered heavy casualties. In one stick of incense, he only had about half of his men left.
If we continue to fight, I'm afraid the entire army will be wiped out.
The leader of the killer cursed secretly, what kind of information was given by the powerful people in Kyoto, and the next moment he screamed.
Judging from the posture, it seemed that they were planning to fight for their lives. The many guards looked tense and quickly retracted their formations to protect Su Qi'an and prepare for the killer leader's counterattack at any time.
The leader of the killer was holding a big knife and just took a few steps forward. The next moment, his steps suddenly stopped and he threw several smoke bombs directly with his right hand.
The smoke bomb exploded, and a burst of thick smoke suddenly rose in front of the eyes. Nothing could be seen. Before everyone could react, the voice of the killer leader rang in their ears.
"Hmph, you are worthy of being the Marquis of Dongshan. I admire you. I can't take your life, but don't be too proud. You will die on the road sooner or later. Marquis Dongshan, you won't be so lucky next time."
When the smoke dissipated, these killers who were so vicious just now had long since disappeared.
This move made the guards stunned. Who would have thought that the killer would sometimes run away.
But they quickly reacted and started chasing the killer.
After all, they know that if they don't beat the drowned dog at this time and let the tiger go back to the mountains, there will be endless troubles.
Before they could pursue them very far, they were stopped by Su Qi'an, who stopped their pursuit.
Everyone was puzzled, and Su Qian said, "Don't worry, they can't escape. Now count the number of wounded soldiers, rest for a while, and continue setting off."
Everyone nodded, although they didn't understand what Su Qi'an meant, but since Su Qi'an did this, he must have his plan.
The casualties were quickly calculated. In the battle just now, more than twenty people were killed and more than ten people were injured.
Su Qi'an's expression did not change, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart. This was the first wave. How many of these guards will be left when they return to Xizhou?
Therefore, in order to reduce casualties as much as possible, Su Qian planned to use these interceptions to train these guards.
As long as they can survive and return to Xizhou, they will be a ready-made and most capable team.
Therefore, the return this time will take some time on the road. If it is fast, it usually takes about seven or eight days. Su Qi'an plans to spend half a month to hone the actual combat capabilities of these guards. .
Everyone rested for a while, buried the brothers who died in the battle, bandaged the wounded, and then continued on their way.
After walking forward for more than ten miles, no one was intercepted or killed, not because the other party was kind, but because some small teams intercepted and killed them along the way.
When they arrived, they only saw some cold corpses and continued to move forward.
Among this group of corpses were the first batch of assassins who had just been intercepted. They seemed to have been attacked.
He didn't even have a chance to resist, so he sealed his throat with a very clean knife.
The one who attacked them was none other than Su Qian's new army.
When Su Qi'an left Kyoto City, his sixty-strong new army made up one day ahead of him and left Kyoto in batches.
Playing the front line for them, if the battle to defend Kyoto is not a battlefield for the new army, then this attack and investigation are their specialty.
To deal with these fleeing killers, it's easy to catch them.
Therefore, with the advance protection of the New Army, the pressure on them was a little easier along the way.
Of course, it is unrealistic to rely solely on the new army to share the burden; you have to rely on yourself.
Moreover, Su Qi'an has already ordered that the guards who perform well in this interception will be eligible to join the new army when they return to Xizhou.
This was not Su Qian's whim, but something he had thought about carefully.
As he meets
As more and more dangers are encountered, the new army must expand in size.
In Su Qian's mind, he already had a preliminary plan, and he would put it into action immediately when he returned to Xizhou.
Not only the new army, but also the personnel deployment and planning for his own base camp.
Only when his power becomes stronger can he have the confidence to face these powerful people and live a better life in Great Liang.
Just as Su Qi'an led his group of men, they slowly headed towards Xizhou.
Xizhou City, State Mufu.
In a small courtyard, Tang Feng and Tang Xiao stood in the courtyard. Tang Feng's face was solemn, and in his hand was a piece of information.
He took a deep breath and passed the information to Tang Xiao who was standing aside. Tang Xiao glanced over, and then he understood why his father's expression was solemn.
This information came from Kyoto, and most of what was written on it was about Su Qi'an.
Tang Xiao's eyes flashed, with a look of disbelief on his face, "Father, is this impossible? This Su Qian is really famous in Kyoto? This!"
Tang Feng shook his head and said softly, "This information came from my old friend in Kyoto. It cannot be wrong."
"This Su Qian is so capable. I wanted to get rid of him with the help of the powerful people in Kyoto, but I didn't expect that he actually did this. Not only did he become a marquis, but he also gained royal status. This person cannot be kept."
"Yes, I thought this son was not simple at the beginning, but I didn't expect it to develop like this. Father thinks that our actions must be advanced."
Tang Feng nodded, convinced, and then said, "If you go ahead, in the name of suppressing bandits, I will notify the county guards and magistrates to immediately impose martial law throughout the city. Without my order, all soldiers are prohibited from mobilizing."
Tang Xiao nodded, he seemed to have thought of something and said. "Father, our actions will definitely be noticed by Suji Trading Company. Fortunately, Qin Huai didn't find anything last time thanks to an insider report."
"This time, it's time to take action against them. After all, Su Qi'an has grown too fast. If Su Ji Trading Company reported the news in advance, it would be difficult to catch him."
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, don't kill unless you have to. Control them all. Only in this way can Su Qian be defeated."
"My child understands, by the way, father, this time the entire state is under martial law, I'm afraid we don't have enough soldiers. Why don't we apply for reinforcements from Xizhou to return to the defense?"
Tang Xiao's proposal was directly rejected by Tang Feng. He shook his head and said seriously.
"Xiao'er, many things are not as simple as you think. The reinforcements from Xizhou have not returned. This is probably His Majesty's attack on our states. Applying forward at this time will definitely make His Majesty suspicious."
"Given His Majesty's preference for Su Qi'an, the news may leak out and Su Qi'an will notice something."
"Don't mention this matter again. There are ten thousand soldiers in the whole state now. Even if it is not enough, call all Heilu and Suji Trading Company to kill thousands of people. If we can't defeat them, my father, the state shepherd, , there’s no need to do it.”
"My child has been taught a lesson. Let's do it now." Tang Xiao nodded and left quickly with the state pastoral order.
