The faces of the two of them were ugly, but it was difficult to get angry. After all, the knife was held on their necks. If they got emotional for a while, their heads would fall to the ground.
The two could only show awkward smiles and apologize, Qingcheng County Sheriff said.
"Qi... Young Master Qi, we have followed your wishes. Do you think this can be done..."
Qingcheng County Sheriff pointed to the knife on his shoulder, but Su Qi'an showed a playful smile and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to let go of you for a while, and I will have to wrong you two adults for a while."
Immediately, Su Qi'an turned his eyes, looked into the distance, and said loudly.
"Lord Zhou Mu, don't you plan to show up at this time? If you don't feel sorry for these two men, something unexpected might happen."
When Su Qian's voice fell, the expressions of the two of them suddenly changed.
It's not that he was surprised that the state pastor would come here, but that this pretending young man from a wealthy family actually guessed that the state pastor would come with him.
To know this, only the two of them knew. On the surface, they were responsible for this operation, but in fact, behind the scenes, Li Kang, the governor of Jiaozhou, was the manipulator behind the scenes.
This attack on Qi'an City has made so much noise, how could Li Kang not be aware of it, but he would not show up unless absolutely necessary.
The presence of the high priest and the Qingcheng County Sheriff was enough to give the young man face, and they were not living off the job.
If they really carry out a forcible encirclement and suppression, using all the troops in their hands, not to mention one Qi'an city, even ten Qi'an cities will be razed to the ground.
It's just that these two people made the same mistake as the little priest. They relied on their noble status and brought thousands of people with them, thinking that the little priest had consumed Su Qi'an before.
If they took action again, they would not be able to catch them, but they missed it. The Dongshan Army in Su Qi'an's hands was a group of complete lunatics.
When fighting, it's like risking one's life. Who has ever seen such an army?
Not only did they become prisoners, they were even guessed about Li Kang's arrival. At this moment, their eyes flashed and they had to think about the background of the fake young man in front of them.
He is so smart and has a private army. When fighting, you can tell at a glance that he has been on the battlefield and has rich combat experience.
Such people are rare to see even in aristocratic families.
Just as the two of them were thinking about Su Qi'an's identity, a moment later, a carriage, surrounded by a group of elite soldiers, came slowly.
This team of elite soldiers was small in number, only about a hundred or so. At first glance, there were some obvious differences from the soldiers brought by Qingcheng County Sheriff.
But even so, as long as Su Qi'an is willing and gives the order, Su Yong's vanguard can definitely kill this group of elite soldiers.
But this idea is just a thought. Li Kang is able to secure his position as the top leader of Hungui State. He has some abilities.
If Su Qi'an really dares to attack Li Kang now, his good days will definitely come to an end.
In all the years since the founding of the Great Liang Kingdom, I have never heard of anyone daring to attack the governor of a state without any reason.
For this crime, even if the person is of royal status, he must be severely punished according to the laws of Great Liang.
He won't lose his head, but he will be imprisoned for life and cannot escape.
Su Qi'an is not that stupid, and Li Kang knows it very well.
But in this tense situation, Li Kang dared to show up with just a hundred people, which shows that he is very courageous.
As the carriage approached, everyone dispersed unconsciously, and finally stopped less than three feet away from Su Qi'an.
The car curtain opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a Chinese robe stepped out of the car.
This man was tall and burly, and the most conspicuous thing was his long beard. Although he had a smile on his face, he exuded the majesty of a superior in his actions.
Compared with Tang Feng, the two have different feelings. If Tang Feng is the kind of person who hides his sword in his smile and has a gloomy heart.
The Li Kang in front of him didn't have so many plots and tricks, but more of endless majesty.
This kind of majestic aura can only be possessed by the state pastor of Yizhou. No one dared to look at him as he glanced at him.
The appearance of Li Kang suddenly made the high priest and Qingcheng County Sheriff turn pale with fear and dare not speak.
Su Qi'an can understand why Qingcheng County Sheriff is so afraid of Li Kang, after all, he is his direct superior.
But the high priest is under the jurisdiction of the Priest Alliance. It stands to reason that at most he has some respect for Li Kang, not fear.
But now the two of them look like a mouse meeting a cat, being pinched to death.
"It seems that this Jiaozhou Prefect has some tricks." Su Qian said secretly.
Looking away from the two of them, Li Kang said to Su Qi'an with a smile on his face. Read the book
"The Marquis of Dongshan has come to Jiaozhou. I have failed to welcome you from afar and failed to discipline my subordinates. I hope that the Marquis will forgive me."
"Can you buy Benzhou's face and let these two people go and let Benzhou take good care of them? Don't worry, this matter will definitely not cause the Marquis to suffer. Benzhou will definitely give the Marquis a satisfactory answer."
Li Kang's posture was very low. His rank was higher than that of Su Qi'an. Addressing him as Marquis was already a great honor.
Li Kang's voice fell, and the controlled high priest and Qingcheng County Sheriff's mind went blank.
"Hou...Hou Ye?"
"You don't want to play like this, do you?"
At this time, the two of them were on the verge of crying. They originally thought that they found out Su Qi'an's identity and that he was a fake young man from a wealthy family.
In fact, most of them were just a group of deserters from the army. When it came to Jiaozhou, they started to act arrogantly.
Who would have thought that this fake young man would have such a great background and be a dignified prince.
And they respect their state pastor so much. What's going on? Are you making trouble?
The two of them still somewhat complained about Li Kang. It seemed that Li Kang had already guessed the identity of this person.
But he didn't tell them that they were like two chess pieces, stupidly testing this person's strength.
Fortunately, this person was measured and didn't kill them. He would have killed them.
Given this person's identity and background, this matter will probably turn into a big deal, and the two of them will die in vain just like the little priest.
The Marquis of Great Liang is still very valuable. If he is a count, at least they should pay a little attention to him.
But the Marquis was enough for them to take it seriously. After all, every Marquis had the right to have private soldiers.
No wonder these people are so fierce. This explains why the Marquis, who has been on the battlefield, is very important in Kyoto.
As long as they don't mess around, everyone will be a hot new star in the military.
Not to mention anything else, just Nanzhou, the nearest city to them, had a marquis from Kyoto a few years ago.
That man was also a fierce man, and he led his troops. In just a few years, the security of Nanzhou had made a qualitative leap.
He even beat up the local aboriginal priest and almost disappeared. He was a very fierce guy.
They didn't know the man's name, but they knew his marquis name was Lingdong Marquis.
At this time, Su Qi'an ignored the two people's thoughts at all, looked at Li Kang and asked.
"Zhou Mu is really very powerful. He immediately recognized my identity. I really admire him."
Li Kang waved his hand and said, "Dongshan Marquis is joking. Dongshan Marquis is a hot new star in Kyoto. Among other things, the battle to defend Kyoto has spread throughout the thirteen states of Great Liang. Naturally, we and other state pastors have heard about it. "
"I will definitely pay too much attention to the movements of the Marquis. The Marquis was able to escape from Xizhou unscathed and allowed His Majesty to issue an order to this point. Everything he has done makes this state admired."
"It is not difficult to guess the movements of the Marquis. After leaving Xizhou, I could only come to Jiaozhou. I originally thought that I could meet the Marquis and get to know him better."
"Who knew that the Marquis was so elusive that something like this happened after he came to Jiaozhou, which made the Marquis unhappy. This is indeed a sign of lax discipline in this state. I hope the Marquis can bear with it."
Li Kang was chatting freely, but those who didn't know thought that he and Su Qi'an knew each other well.
But those who know him well understand that it is rare for Li Kang to lower his profile like this today.
.
Is this still the aloof and majestic Jiaozhou Shepherd?
Everyone could only sigh in their hearts and couldn't discuss it out loud. If word spread, they would die one day without knowing how.
Su Qi'an was not so arrogant about Li Kang's low profile, but treated him as an equal.
His purpose from the beginning was to get Li Kang to show up, but Li Kang finally came forward without saying anything. His attitude was so humble, and it was good for a state pastor to lower his posture like this.
It was impossible for Su Qi'an to kill the high priest and Qingcheng County Sheriff in front of them. The death of a small priest was enough. Killing these two more would have no meaning.
It will only make things more tense. Su Qi'an is not yet at the point where he and Li Kang have a falling out.
At least that's the case for now. There is a saying that goes like this, don't hit the smiling person.
Su Qi'an's purpose is to gain a foothold in Jiaozhou, not to attract hatred.
He and Xizhou Mu are already fighting to the death, and offending the second one is not just looking for something to do.
At least the two parties can still negotiate amicably before the other party touches their bottom line.
Moreover, Li Kang has already named his identity, and it is even more impossible to do it in person at this time. Sometimes, noble status is also a constraint.
As for whether his claim that he guessed Su Qian's identity is true or false, it all depends on what he thinks.
Su Qian smiled and said, "Since Jiaozhou Mu has said so, it would be really disrespectful if I don't show favor to Zhou Mu."
"Master Zhou Mu, please take them away. This matter ends here for today."
Li Kang accepted Su Qi'an's generosity with a smile and said in return, "I would like to thank Marquis Dongshan again. Don't worry, I will do what I say and will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
Su Qi'an nodded and immediately gave the order to release the two of them, along with all his subordinates.
The high priest and Qingcheng County Sheriff were very knowledgeable and led the people to leave here as quickly as possible.
Li Kang got on the carriage and greeted Su Qi'an before leaving.
"Master Marquis, if you have the opportunity to come to Zhoucheng to sit down, I admire the Marquis very much. I hope to have the opportunity to have a chat with him over wine."
"Master Marquis, take your leave!"
"Farewell!" Su Qian responded with a smile.
Not to mention how enthusiastic the two parties looked, the onlookers were stunned for a moment.
The tense situation just now was easily resolved in a few words as the big shot appeared?
"As expected of a big shot, he handles things differently. Today is an eye-opener." Many people sighed inexplicably.
