Su Qi'an drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and without any hesitation, he shot straight at the captain of the prefecture and city in front of him.
Seeing this, the captain of Zhoucheng didn't panic at all. There was no magic archer in the entire Great Liang who could shoot three hundred steps, let alone a Dongshan Marquis.
Dongshan Hou did this just to find a place for his two subordinates, but this place was not so easy to find.
Three hundred steps away, he stood on the city wall, wanting to see how far this arrow shot towards him could go.
The captain of Zhoucheng had a bit of disdain on his face. He stood on the city wall and watched with cold eyes.
But after a while, the military commander still had a sense of crisis. His hair exploded, and arrows shot at him came in an instant.
The captain of Zhoucheng didn't even think about it. He subconsciously shrank his head. He reacted quickly, and the arrow he shot missed his high crown.
He shot off his high crown and let his hair fall down, making him look quite embarrassed.
At this time, the disdain in the eyes of the captain of Zhoucheng had long since disappeared. With deep shock, he turned his head in disbelief and stood on a pillar behind him.
An arrow stuck his high crown firmly on the pillar, and the tail of the arrow was swaying unsteadily.
Three hundred steps, he can actually shoot three hundred steps!
The Zhoucheng Captain's expression suddenly changed. The arrow just now left him completely speechless.
Not to mention him, even the soldiers guarding the city wall also changed their expressions.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have dared to believe that there was a super marksman with over 300 steps in this world.
Su Qi'an's arrow just now completely conquered them.
After shooting an arrow, Su Qi'an looked indifferent and said loudly to them.
"This arrow is my return gift to you. You may not be so lucky next time!"
"Dongshan Army obeys the order!"
"exist!"
Immediately afterwards, Su Qian said loudly to the Dongshan Army behind him, and everyone responded positively.
"The whole army is ready for first-level combat. In half the time of burning incense, the gates of Xizhou city are closed tightly and the whole army attacks the city!"
"We will obey the order of the Marquis and attack the city! Attack the city!"
In an instant, the Dongshan Army of 2,000 people rushed together and immediately launched preparations to attack the city.
Although the number of people was small, the outburst of momentum made the defenders' expressions change slightly.
As expected of having been on the battlefield and fighting with honorable soldiers, this intense killing momentum on the battlefield made them a little frightened.
After seeing Su Qi'an's personal abilities, he was quite wary of the Dongshan Army.
Don't underestimate these two thousand people. Being able to become one of Dongshan Hou's subordinates means that their strength cannot be underestimated.
Now that Su Qi'an has spoken, if they don't open the city gate, they will definitely keep their word.
If the Dongshan Army really attacks the city, it is not said whether Xizhou City can withstand it, but what they can know is that among the first batch of people to die, they will not be able to escape.
Everyone's expressions were ugly, and many people felt quite angry when they looked at the frightened Captain of Zhoucheng.
It could have been solved in a good manner, but the captain of the prefecture and city had to show off. This time, it was better. Not only did he not give the other party a chance to show off.
This directly brought the atmosphere between the two parties to a tense level.
He wanted to commit suicide, but he took us with him.
All the soldiers had an urge to curse in their hearts. If the atmosphere wasn't so tense at the moment, they would have rushed forward and slapped the captain of the prefecture and city who didn't know the heights of the sky.
At this time, the captain of Zhoucheng was also riding a tiger and couldn't get off. He didn't expect that the Dongshan Marquis was so tough and refused to give in at all.
By issuing direct orders, both sides were ready for a war on the verge of breaking out.
Just when the situation suddenly became urgent, a deep voice suddenly sounded.
"According to Lord Zhoumu's order, the city gates will be opened immediately to welcome Dongshan Hou and other troops to enter Xizhou City. Any violation will be dealt with according to the laws of Daliang."
Everyone turned around, and the person who came was a middle-aged man. This man had a good background, and Su Qi'an also knew him.
At this time, it was Xue Muxiu of the Xue family, one of the three major forces in Xizhou City.
The Xue family is the largest aristocratic family in Xizhou. On the surface, it appears to be a three-legged family. In fact, the Xue family is just a fad.
Long before he dealt with the Gongsun family, he had already been bribed by Tang Feng. This is why when Su Qi'an and the Gongsun family were in conflict, the Xue family would give their full support.
Everything was done under the instruction of Tang Feng. With the fall of the Gongsun family, the Xue family completely turned to Tang Feng.
It is not that the Xue family has no intention of becoming independent, but facing Tang Feng's thousands-strong Heilu army and the right to mobilize the entire state's army.
After careful consideration, in order to protect the family's power, Xue Muxiu could only cooperate with Tang Feng.
The cooperation between the two parties is also very harmonious. Now in Xizhou City, Tang Feng is the leader, and with the help of Tang Feng, the Xue family's status in Xizhou has risen sharply, second only to Zhou Mu.
Xue Muxiu didn't even look at the captain of the city. It seemed that on the city wall, he cupped his hands towards Su Qi'an below.
"It's been a long time, Mr. Su. With this farewell, I have become a marquis now. I really admire Xue."
"Yeah, Su didn't expect that the Xue family would also become Tang Feng's lackeys. Things really change."
Xue Muxiu didn't care at all about Su Qian'an's ridicule and said casually, "What Dongshan Hou said is wrong. This is because those who understand the current affairs are heroes. Xue just made the best choice for the sake of his family."
While the two were communicating, the closed city gate slowly opened, and under the leadership of Su Qi'an, a large army slowly entered Xizhou City.
As soon as they entered the city, Xue Musiu came with a group of soldiers to greet him.
Su Qi'an did not dismount, but sat on the horse and nodded to Xue Muchiu.
When Xue Muxiu saw this, he was not annoyed and said with a smile, "It is really an honor for us to be able to see Dongshan Hou again. If Dongshan Hou invites you here, I'm afraid Lord Zhou Mu can't wait."
With that said, Xue Muxiu took Su Qi'an and walked towards the city. .
Su Qi'an, who was sitting on the horse, looked indifferent. After walking for a while, he stopped and said softly.
"Master Zhou Mu didn't show up and wanted to give me a slap in the face. Now he changed his mind and said that he has been waiting for a long time. Haha, he is worthy of being a Zhou Mu. Any words that come into his mouth can be said to be black. This eloquence is so impressive. I admire you."
These words made Xue Muchiu look stunned, but he quickly reacted, his face turned cold, and he said coldly to the soldiers behind him.
"Catch Captain Ji!"
The soldiers were in a commotion and quickly arrested the captain of the city, Xue Muxiu said with a smile.
"The unpleasantness caused at the city wall earlier offended Marquis Dongshan. Xue apologizes here first, but Xue guarantees that this person's words are entirely the family's words. Mr. Zhou Mu is not aware of it, and it cannot represent Xizhou City."
"Now that Lieutenant Ji has been arrested, everything will be handled by Marquis Dongshan."
Su Qi Anmu looked forward and said softly, "The following sin is an attempt to use chaos to murder the lives of the royal family's children. According to the laws of the Great Liang, what crime should be committed?"
"Anyone who offends the royal family will be punished by death!"
Behind him, Er Meng and Song Biao spoke simultaneously.
As soon as these words came out, Captain Ji's expression immediately changed, and he quickly knelt down to Su Qi'an and Xue Muchiu to beg for mercy.
"The little one is blind and has offended the Marquis of Dongshan. I hope that the Marquis and the head of the Xue family can give me a chance to atone for my sins. Don't kill the villain and spare my life."
Captain Ji kept kowtowing, and Xue Muxiu's expression changed a little. At this time, Su Qi'an spoke.
"Let's talk about this matter, whether it's a big deal or a small matter, isn't it an offense to the royal family? Su is not a narrow-minded person. This matter is over, and it is over."
"However, I don't know if someone will take this opportunity to follow suit. If the majesty of the royal family provokes a provocation, the head of the Xue family will know the consequences better than Su."
Xue Muxiu's eyes flashed, he cupped his hands towards Su Qi'an and said, "Thank you, Marquis Dongshan, for reminding me. Xue knows what to do."
Xue Muxiu turned around and said directly to his soldiers, "Ji Duwei is guilty of maliciously and falsely accusing a member of the royal family.
, his crime deserves to be punished, drag him down and behead him. "
The soldiers under his command immediately took action and dragged Captain Ji down. Lieutenant Ji struggled. No matter how he begged for mercy, Xue Muxiu remained indifferent, his face full of indifference.
Seeing this scene, Lieutenant Ji did not beg for mercy, but directly cursed, "Xue, you are so cruel. In order to please this Su, you made me a scapegoat. Even if I die, I will not let you go..."
Being scolded by Captain Ji, Xue Muxiu's face turned livid and he cursed at the stunned soldiers.
"Why are you standing there in a daze? You are deceiving the public with such monstrous words, drag him down and chop him down."
The soldiers under his command came to their senses and dragged Captain Ji away. The curses continued, but after a while, as the head fell to the ground, Captain Ji's curses stopped abruptly.
Xue Muxiu smiled awkwardly at Su Qi'an and said directly, "Let Marquis Dongshan laugh. Marquis Dongshan invites you."
Su Qi'an nodded and continued walking towards the city with the others. However, Xue Muxiu, who stopped, looked at Su Qi'an with a deep gloom in his eyes.
He really underestimated Su Qi'an. They hadn't seen each other for only half a year. He was originally a bit cautious in his actions in Xizhou City, but now, both in terms of momentum and verbal conversation, he gave people the feeling that he was not getting any benefits.
Captain Ji showed his power, and Su Qian was not stupid. How could he not see what was being pointed out behind his back? But he was smart and did not point it out. He just gave him a reminder and let others handle it.
But you can't take it lightly when dealing with people like this.
At this time, there were no passers-by on the streets of Xizhou City, and the surrounding shops were all closed.
some. There were just soldiers patrolling back and forth, their eyes scanning with a strong murderous intent.
These soldiers should be Tang Feng's private soldiers. They are almost like dead soldiers. As long as they give an order, no matter who they are, they dare to take action.
And the further we walked, the more soldiers we saw. They stood on both sides, looking like a pocket, waiting for Su Qi'an and other troops to walk in.
When passing a square, Su Qi'an stopped. Seeing this, Xue Muchiu stepped forward and asked.
"What's wrong, Marquis Dongshan? Not far ahead, we'll reach the banquet hall prepared by Lord Zhou Mu for Lord Dongshan. Don't ruin Lord Zhou Mu's interest."
Su Qi'an withdrew her gaze from afar, with an indifferent expression on her face, and said, "I think it's just here, let Tang Feng come out."
