Su Qi'an's voice fell, and the expressions of the soldiers and the Heilu army in front of him changed.
They were holding broadswords and halberds, and they were facing Su Yong, but they were only two or three meters away. As long as they stepped forward, they could definitely hack Su Yong to death.
But none of them acted rashly. After all, Master Zhou Mu was still in his hands. Before Su Yong was hacked to death, Master Zhou Mu would definitely return to the west.
The person who was under the greatest pressure at this time was not these soldiers' confidants, but Xue Musiu.
His eyes flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking, but the silence did not last long, Xue Muxiu said directly.
"Okay, Lord Dongshan, as long as you ensure the safety of Lord Zhou Mu, we will definitely let you leave Xizhou City safely."
With a smile on her face, Su Qian looked at Tang Feng who was not so excited and said.
"Lord Zhou Mu, what do you think? Do you want to set an example for your subordinates by risking their lives to show their determination? We can still talk about it."
Signaling the cloth to be pulled tighter, Tang Feng looked at Su Qi'an angrily and said, "Why should I trust you?"
"Haha, Lord Zhou Mu is the highest official of a state conferred by the imperial court. If anything happens to you, I can't afford it."
"For the sake of my safety, I will naturally not take Master Zhoumu with me. Don't worry, I will still say what I said. I will release the prince when I leave Xizhou City. I guarantee that within an hour, Master Zhoumu will be able to fight with you." See you, Prince."
What Su Qian said was from his heart and was not a lie.
Having Zhou Mu and Zhou Mu's son in hand is indeed a good trump card, but it is definitely not a trump card that can always be used and is always feared by the opponent.
If you use too many trump cards, are they still called trump cards?
As Su Qian said, if you keep Tang Feng with you all the way, you will inevitably not be attacked if Tang Feng has an accident.
Then Su Qian became the scapegoat.
This is not something Su Qi'an is making a fuss about, but it is very likely to happen.
After all, a state pastor like Tang Feng has unimaginable power in the local area. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the overlord of one party.
Such people are so powerful that they make people fear and intimidate, but similarly, when power is gathered in one person, there are always some people hiding in dark corners below, ready to take action at any time.
Never underestimate people's hearts at any time. Shui Sheng is a good example.
If something happened to Tang Feng and he died in Su Qian's hands, he would really be a knife in someone else's hands.
No need to read, this matter will be reported to the court as soon as possible. Controlling Su Qi'an as quickly as possible and depriving him of his fame and title were considered small tasks.
In addition, there were several princes with whom the imperial court had grievances, so Su Qi'an would have to risk his life to punish him.
After all, in all dynasties, it has never been heard that the governor of a state died inexplicably at the hands of a marquis.
In terms of rank, he was not qualified. Even if Su Qi'an was from the royal family, if he wanted Tang Feng's life, he would have to report it to the court, and the court would have to ask the Third Duke to personally interrogate him.
The process is time-consuming and complicated. Looking at it from another aspect, you know how high the status of the state pastor is and cannot be touched by ordinary people.
Even if Su Qian was filled with hatred, he would not be stupid enough to be used as a gunman.
After all, no one can guarantee that among the group of confidants in front of him, it is inevitable that there will not be a few disloyal people.
At this time, Tang Feng felt that he was being controlled even more. He didn't remain silent for long and directly agreed to Su Qi'an's request.
After serving as a state pastor for so many years, he has been kidnapped. The longer the time goes on, the less guaranteed his life is.
He is still clear about this. As for settling the score with Su Qi'an, he has to save his own life and settle the score slowly later.
The two sides reached an agreement, and Su Yong's short knife was always placed on Tang Feng's neck. With his other hand, he grabbed his arm and escorted Tang Feng out of the city bit by bit.
Soon, Su Yong suppressed Tang Feng and returned to Su Qi'an's troops.
Everyone turned around and walked slowly towards the outside of the city, while the Heilu army and close soldiers kept their distance and followed step by step.
The journey out of the city was not far, and we walked for about a quarter of an hour.
Surrounded by countless soldiers from a distance, Su Qi'an and two thousand Dongshan troops finally left the city.
With a wave of his hand, the Dongshan Army began to evacuate in an orderly manner. The horses kicked up dust and galloped away.
Outside the city gate, only Su Qi'an and about ten people were left. Su Qi'an looked at Tang Feng and said with a smile.
"This time, I would like to thank Mr. Zhou Mu for coming to see me off. I would like to remind Mr. Zhou Mu that the bow and arrow aimed at me from the top of the city gate should be retracted. If you are dazzled and not paying attention, let Mr. Zhou Mu wipe it. If you get some blood, it won’t be good.”
Xue Muchiu, who followed him out of the city gate, waved his hand upwards, aimed at the archers Su Qi'an, and immediately withdrew.
"Thank you all for this time. Don't worry, Mr. Zhou Mu, Head of the Xue family. We will meet again next time. I hope that next time we meet, Mr. Zhou Mu will not be so careless."
After saying that, Su Yong took away the short knife from Tang Feng's neck, and then got on his horse.
Before leaving, Tang Feng was pushed back with a palm, and Xue Muxiu and others quickly stepped forward to help him.
At this time, the dust was flying, and Su Qi'an and other ten people were riding horses, galloping wildly, and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.
"Chase me!" Xue Musiu shouted loudly.
As soon as his voice fell, he was stopped by Tang Feng who stood firm, "What are you chasing after? People are already far away, so why should we chase after him?"
"And my son is still in their hands. If they are desperate, you can afford to attack the prince!"
"My subordinates are impatient." The soldiers said quickly.
"Brother Tang, you trust this Su Qian so much. If he plays tricks on you again, we can't be controlled by him again and again."
"I know Su Qi'an well. He still has credibility. He does what he says. If he plays tricks on this state again this time, he will die without a burial place no matter what."
"Wait a minute, what did you mean by what you said just now? What do you mean by using the Crown Prince to control it? What, do you want the Crown Prince to die?"
Tang Feng's voice was cold, and Xue Muxiu's expression suddenly changed. He immediately knelt down and explained quickly.
"Master Zhou Mu has misunderstood. I am impatient. Please forgive me, Brother Tang."
Seeing the fearful look on Xue Muxiu's face, Tang Feng said coldly, "Brother Xue, I want to remind you, just keep some words in your heart. If you say them out, you may die. Also, remember your identity. , if you want to keep the Xue family’s status in Xizhou, you must stay awake at all times, otherwise, hum!”
After speaking, Tang Feng turned and left, leaving Xue Muxiu, who was pale and stunned.
If Su Qian were here, he would definitely be shocked by this scene.
Half a year ago, the strength and status of the two were quite similar, but now, Xue Musiu's appearance was, to put it harshly, no different from a dog.
This is Tang Feng's strength. Once he shows his strength, no matter what family or local big family, everyone must obey his orders.
After Su Qi'an and other two thousand people left Xizhou City safely, Tang Feng kept his promise and did not send troops to pursue him.
But Su Qi'an was not careless and led the Dongshan Army to many places, hiding quietly in a dense forest.
This boundary should belong to Sichuandu County, but it is on the edge of it.
The place Su Qi'an chose is deep in the mountains and old forests. There are no people there all year round. It is difficult to find it for a while.
Since Tang Feng kept his promise, Su Qi'an did the same. After they evacuated, he ordered the team that had been ambushing Tang Xiao on the outskirts of Xizhou City to abandon Tang Xiao in the dense forest less than thirty miles away from Xizhou City.
In order to ensure that Tang Xiao was quiet all the way, Su Qi'an gave him some drugs and made him fall asleep all the way.
With the informants sent by Tang Feng, Tang Xiao's traces could be found in at most two quarters of an hour.
To release Tang Xiao, in Su Qi'an's plan, Tang Xiao's trump card was the same as coercing Tang Feng.
If he keeps going back on his words, it is likely to anger Tang Feng, causing Tang Feng to ignore him and attack the people of Lingbei County.
Tang Xiao has not been released, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead. Tang Feng will definitely attack the people under Su Qi'an's rule and force Su Qi'an.
In order to avoid any accident, Tang Xiao had to let go this time. Even if he didn't let go, Tang Xiao wouldn't have much time left.
Great value.
I also got the information that I needed to know, and taking him with me was just a drag on me.
The game between Su Qi'an and Tang Feng has just begun, and Tang Xiao is not yet capable enough to change Tang Feng's pursuit of him.
This time, Su Qi'an was not afraid. Now that he had soldiers in his hands, he wanted to have a good game with Tang Feng.
Let him know that the people and villagers who died when his base camp was destroyed did not die in vain, and they had to pay a price.
After Su Qi'an left Xizhou City, he never thought of returning to Lingbei County.
What he is good at is maneuvering. He has two thousand Dongshan troops who fight mobile warfare. If he blindly relies on the terrain advantages of a city, it will be a constraint for him.
Xizhou is so big, with many mountains, dense forests, valleys and steep cliffs, making it a good place for Tibetans to fight guerrillas.
Su Qi'an didn't believe it. This state pastor could control the entire Xizhou.
Anyway, Su Qi'an has time to play with him, so let Tang Feng see the power of the Dongshan Army.
The reason why Su Qi'an did not plan to leave immediately with the Dongshan Army was due to his most selfish motives.
He wants to find information about Qin Ziyin, Lu Xiaowan, Tong Zhan, Ye Zhong and others.
As long as he stays in Xizhou, he will definitely know their news!
Just as Su Qian expected, less than half an hour after they left Xizhou City, Tang Xiao was discovered by the scouts sent out and brought back as quickly as possible.
After confirming that there were no serious injuries on his body, Tang Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, he issued a state pastoral order to the entire state. There was only one order. All soldiers in all counties and counties in the state were to return to their posts and prepare for the first level of alert.
He obeyed his summons at any time, and all city gates were under martial law. Without orders issued by the county guards and county magistrates, entering and exiting the city was strictly prohibited.
At the same time, the five thousand soldiers in Xizhou City, led by several senior captains, searched the entire territory of Xizhou bit by bit.
Soldiers from the counties and counties they pass through must cooperate fully. Once they discover Su Qi'an's army, they will report it immediately. If there is any concealment, they will be severely punished.
For such a big thing, there must be someone to blame, and the crime assigned to Su Qi'an was very simple.
Dongshan Hou led two thousand troops back to Xizhou. He did not cooperate with the orders of the state pastor and started a conflict with him. He even kidnapped the eldest son Tang Xiao, with great intentions of doing evil.
Fortunately, after unremitting efforts, the prince was rescued. In order to protect the people of Xizhou, Su Qi'an's Dongshan Army was extremely dangerous and must be controlled and their weapons confiscated. The people of the whole state must cooperate.
Tang Feng was able to mobilize soldiers from all over the state to take action based on this crime of nip in the bud. This was his appeal in Xizhou for many years.
As for the people at the bottom, whoever has the courage to come forward to question is not simply seeking death, and can only cooperate silently.
