"Want to leave? Have you left?"
Su Qian stood in the smoke, throwing the iron claw in his hand towards somewhere in front of him.
The iron claw flew out quickly like a sharp knife. The moment it flew out, two iron chains were connected behind the iron claw.
After a while, a dull sound sounded in the smoke, and then, a figure flew out of the smoke.
The rising smoke gradually dissipated. With his excellent hearing, Su Yong discerned the direction and headed straight for Shuisheng's location.
Shuisheng was attacked by the iron claw and seemed to be slightly injured. He was breathing heavily, waving his sword and fighting with Su Yong.
But how could he be Su Yong's opponent? Coupled with the injury, he was defeated in less than ten rounds.
The smoke that filled the side hall gradually dissipated. At this time, Shui Sheng was controlled by Su Yong, and the big knife in his hand was knocked away. He was half-kneeling, with a big knife on his shoulder, lying across his neck.
As long as he makes the slightest unfavorable move, he will be killed by Su Yong immediately.
Shui Sheng was half-kneeling on the ground, watching Su Qi'an approaching. He didn't show any sign of begging for mercy or even regret.
Instead, he was very stubborn. He raised his head and looked at Su Qian'an and said, "I am not your opponent, sir. I admit it. Now that I am in your hands, I have nothing to say. I will kill or hack you, sir."
Su Qi'an looked at Shui Sheng without showing any trace of heartache when he betrayed his brothers, countless villagers, and himself. ap.
In his eyes, Shui Sheng was just a scum.
His eyes were cold as he looked at Shui Sheng and said, "When you rebelled, you could have imagined that today would happen. I didn't let you die so easily."
"I will hold a public trial and let you accept the trial of all the villagers. Because of your betrayal, our brothers and villagers died tragically for no reason. You must accept the trial of the families of the victims! You must pay the price for what you have done."
Su Qian's words directly caused Shui Sheng, who was ready to die generously, to change his expression.
When Shui Sheng betrayed, he was prepared to die one day, but he was not afraid of death. It didn't matter if he betrayed his fellow villagers for the sake of his own future.
Instead, he was looking forward to Su Qi'an giving him a good time, but Su Qi'an did not meet his request.
Moreover, a public trial was held and he was tried in front of all the people and fellow villagers. This was what Shui Sheng didn't want to see the most.
Death is not terrible. What is terrible is that he has to undergo a series of public trials and punishments before death, and he has to face the anger and reviling of the family members who died because of him.
This is basically murder and heart-breaking. No one would want to suffer this kind of torture.
Shui Sheng said to Su Qi'an, "Sir, I know that my betrayal is an inevitable death penalty, but please give me a break, sir. I have no complaints about anything else."
If it were anyone else, Su Qi'an might still consider it, but he was a water creature, one of the four hunters who followed him when he was down and out.
He was one of his most trusted people, but unexpectedly he failed to withstand the temptation and became a traitor.
Because of his betrayal, many brothers and fellow villagers died under Xizhou Mu's encirclement and suppression.
Regarding Shui Sheng, Su Qi'an would never let him die happily. He would atone for the sins of his dead villagers and brothers.
Su Qi'an was indifferent to Shui Sheng's request. He turned around and said coldly, "You must be responsible for what you do. Don't worry, your betrayal will stop you and will not harm your wife, children, and parents. After you die, I will keep you." I will buy you a coffin and bury you."
"This can be regarded as the end of the kindness between you and me."
After saying that, Su Qian waved his hand, and Su Yong immediately pushed Shui Sheng down.
Shui Sheng didn't struggle this time. He looked deeply at Su Qi'an's back, with a complicated look on his face, but didn't say anything.
Before he was escorted off, Shui Sheng said softly, "Thank you sir. If there is a next life, Shui Sheng is willing to be a cow or a horse to repay your kindness to sir."
Shuisheng was escorted down. Su Qian stood there with his back turned. Huang Wenyan beside him wanted to say something, but after thinking again and again, he stopped talking.
What he wanted to say was that he hoped Su Qi'an could eradicate the root cause. After all, although it looked very...
Cruel, but with such a traitor, especially a confidant.
If we don’t eradicate the root cause, there is no guarantee that something will happen in the future.
And eradicating the roots is also a deterrent to others.
But Huang Wenyan has been following Su Qi'an for a while, and he understands Su Qi'an's bottom line.
Nothing will ever harm your wife, children, or children.
Huang Wenyan has met many great talents and even powerful people, but he has never seen anyone like Su Qi'an, who has a little more warmth behind the harshness.
This is not the Virgin's heart, but a sign of Su Qian's confidence.
In addition, Su Qi'an had already made up his mind, so he naturally could not say anything. After thinking about it afterwards, Huang Wenyan admired Su Qi'an's approach even more, and he had no regrets about giving up his future in Kyoto and following Su Qi'an.
Not long after Shui Sheng was suppressed by Su Yong's control, the fierce battle outside the Yamen gradually subsided. Soon, a team wearing armor and covered in blood rushed in.
This group of people is naturally Su Qi'an's Dongshan Army, and the leaders are also familiar, they are Song Biao and Er Meng.
During the battle to defend Kyoto, the two of them were responsible for guarding Hangu Pass and faced the attack of tens of thousands of soldiers.
They persisted until reinforcements arrived, and the soldiers who went south to support them withdrew.
Two thousand men and horses, relying on the advantageous terrain where one man can block the way and ten thousand men can't open it, blocked tens of thousands of soldiers from going south. This achievement is quite inspiring when it is spread.
But behind the scenery, there were heavy casualties. When the war ended, there were only less than 500 people left out of 2,000 troops.
Fortunately, Song Biao and Er Meng were not killed in the battle, but suffered some injuries. After returning to the capital, under the arrangement of Su Qi'an, they lurked silently, recovering from their injuries while waiting for the call.
Before leaving Beijing, he replenished his troops and ordered the two of them to set off one step ahead. They walked all the way and waited until now before they had the chance to take action.
This almost stifled the two of them. Seeing Su Qi'an again, they were very excited and had a lot to say.
"Master Marquis, this journey has really suffocated our brothers to death, and we finally have a chance to take action."
"No, fortunately, the mission was successfully completed. The reinforcements of more than a thousand people were directly disabled by us. Unfortunately, these grandsons are really cowards. They can run for their lives faster than a rabbit."
"Under the encirclement of Biaozi and I, hundreds of people ran away."
"You're not careless. If we had encircled them in advance according to my previous plan, these hundreds of people would have been able to escape." Song Biao curled his lips and said.
In response to Song Biao's accusation, Ermeng immediately responded, "Yes, yes, you have foresight. If you have such foresight, how could you not stop the passers-by? Fortunately, I found out early, otherwise there wouldn't have been hundreds of people escaping."
"Ermeng, you..."
Seeing that the two of them were quarreling when they met, Su Qian immediately stopped them, changed the subject, and asked.
"Did Tang Xiao run away?"
"Hey, no one can let this big fish escape. As soon as that kid went out, he was blocked in a dead end by his subordinates before he could go far."
"After he was taken down, he threatened me with his so-called identity as the crown prince. Can I coddle him? He just keeps talking without saying a word."
"Then." Su Qian looked at Song Biao who was spitting, with a strange look on his face, and then asked.
Song Biao wanted to continue speaking, but Er Meng overtook him, "Then because Biaozi was so strong and the boy was weak, he was knocked unconscious by Biaozi's mouths."
Hearing this, Su Qi'an and Huang Wenyan were speechless for a while. They didn't mean to blame them. After a few words of instruction, they left and prepared to take over Lingbei County.
When the two left, Su Qi'an and Huang Wenyan looked at each other, both seeing the other's helplessness.
"It seems that in the future, in the military, I will sometimes have to give them some lessons."
Huang Wenyan fully agreed with Su Qi'an's suggestion. There were many soldiers with gangsterism like Song Biao and Er Meng in the Dongshan Army. When fighting, they were all tough.
But if you don’t control it well, it will easily cause big troubles in the future, and you will also have a headache when the time comes.
.
Su Qi'an has an army. This is just the first step. What he wants to build is not a group of soldiers who can only act like stupid young men and dare to fight and charge.
It is a powerful army with drive, discipline and strategy.
As a modern person, Su Qi'an has naturally seen that in their time, that invincible modern army could defeat any enemy. No matter what happened, that army could give the people a sufficient sense of security.
When they came to Great Liang, not to mention completely transforming them into such an army, but one tenth of them would be great.
Of course, this matter cannot be rushed. You have to plan it slowly and step by step. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Wait until this matter is over and find an opportunity to communicate with Huang Wenyan in the future.
Su Qi'an kept this thought in her heart and did not leave. Instead, she glanced back and forth at the side hall in front of her.
He said to the somewhat cluttered hall in front, "Magistrate He, the soldiers you are afraid of have been captured, and my own army is also guarding outside."
"What happened here is basically under control. You have seen my sincerity. Magistrate He, come out and let's have a good chat."
Su Qi'an's voice echoed in the side hall, but after a while, Magistrate He stepped inside the side hall, and behind a curtain, a somewhat trembling Magistrate He came out tremblingly.
When he saw Su Qi'an, Magistrate He knelt down with a plop and explained quickly.
"Dongshan Hou, please forgive me. This matter has nothing to do with this county. This county was coerced by the crown prince and had no choice but to cooperate with Tang Xiao and Shui Sheng in this scene in order to save their lives."
"The Marquis of Dongshan has a lot of people. If I spare this official's life, he will definitely be devastated and swear to the death to repay the great kindness of the Marquis."
Magistrate He's posture looked like he was not just pretending, but he was really scared.
Su Qian understood what County Magistrate He was thinking. He could see Magistrate He's panic as early as when he entered the county government office.
If he was really Tang Xiao and Shuisheng, he would have gone into hiding soon after the battle between the two sides.
He found out what County Magistrate He was like before he left. He was just a duty-bound old magistrate who hoped that there wouldn't be any big trouble in the county and that he could retire safely without any ambitions.
