Xiang Yan's voice was cold, and everyone in the lobby knew that the matter in front of him was not going to be easy.
Zhou Tai held his hand in front of Xiang Yan and said without any panic, "Master Xiang, I just returned to Yuezhou City when I saw a dispute between Liang Kun and Zhang Chuang. There is nothing wrong with me pulling them apart. The reason why Liang Kun was punished was because he spoke rudely to the two princes."
"According to the laws of the Great Liang, Liang Kun is no more than a junior lieutenant. If he offends the Marquis, he will be punished with fifty military sticks. It is very reasonable. I do not feel that I have done anything wrong."
"Well, you did the right thing. I know this. Someone, drag Liang Kun down and beat him with fifty military sticks."
"Master Xiang, this subordinate has been wronged." Liang Kun was stunned. He didn't expect that Xiang Yan, who was supposed to make the decision for him, actually punished him with fifty military rods.
No matter how hard he struggled, with Xiang Yan's words, his soldiers immediately dragged Liang Kun down, and then bursts of wailing sounded intermittently.
After dealing with Liang Kun, Xiang Yan changed the topic and continued, "Master Zhou, I have already dealt with the matter Liang Kun committed. Now we can talk about other things."
"Lord Zhou, I am the captain of Yuezhou and am responsible for all military affairs in Yuezhou. Now a war has broken out in Yuezhou. Hehe, it's better for you. You didn't even have the slightest notice and asked for support behind my back."
"Master Zhou, by doing this, you don't take me seriously, and as far as I know, Yuezhou and the two southern states don't seem to be on good terms."
"Mr. Zhou, you didn't even say hello and went directly to invite people. By doing this, you are exceeding your authority. According to the laws of war, I can put you in jail!"
Xiang Yan suddenly changed the subject, but it turned out to be Zhou Tai's army. Zhou Tai's eyes flashed and he wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Xiang Yan.
"Master Zhou, you don't need to explain. Don't think that because you were promoted by His Highness the Sixth Prince, you really feel that you are qualified to be the Prime Minister of a state. Just because you have exceeded your authority, I can remove you as the Prime Minister of the state."
"I don't have time to talk to you about your matter. I will deal with you after I finish handling the matter at hand."
"Are you the Marquis of Lingdong from Nanzhou and the Marquis of Dongshan from Jiaozhou?"
Xiang Yan's tone was very strong and he didn't take Zhou Tai seriously at all. It can be said that Zhou Tai was suppressed by Xiang Yan in every aspect of the confrontation.
Xiang Yan took a few steps forward and looked at Su Qi'an and Xie Cang.
Before the two of them could say anything, Xiang Yan continued, "I know that the Marquis of Lingdong is famous in Nanzhou, but this Dongshan Marquis is so capable? Can he bring down Li Kang? In my opinion , nothing more than that.”
"Your Highness, please don't be deceived. As a Yuezhou captain, I know the two princes today. I'd rather leave this matter to me."
"Come here, capture this so-called Dongshan Marquis and temporarily put him in prison until the identity is investigated and the authenticity is confirmed. We are making plans."
"Lieutenant Yuezhou, how dare you!"
The first person to bear the brunt was not Zhou Tai, but Xie Cang. He stood in front of Su Qi'an without saying a word and drew his sword directly.
A dozen veterans standing behind Xiang Yan also drew their swords and surrounded Su Qi'an and Xie Cang.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the lobby became tense.
"Yuezhou Lieutenant, you are so brave. You dare to take action against the Duke. The people I brought with me dare to doubt that you don't take me seriously at all!"
"If you do this, believe it or not, your official position will not be guaranteed!"
At this time, Zhou Tai also walked up. His face was ugly and he said to Xiang Yan.
"Master Xiang, you have gone too far in doing this. Although I am only acting as the Prime Minister, Lingdong Marquis and Dongshan Marquis are the guests I have brought under my orders. If you do this, you will not be afraid of His Highness being blamed!"
"If you insist on taking away the two princes today, then step over my corpse."
At this time, Zhou Tai was also angry. On the surface, it seemed that Xiang Yan was targeting Su Qi'an and doubting Su Qi'an's identity, but in fact, he was targeting him and His Highness the Sixth Prince behind him.
No matter how you put it, Su Qi'an is a dignified marquis, and he also knows about Jiaozhou's deeds.

If Su Qi'an was really caught by Xiang Yan, it would be the most outrageous thing in the world, and it wouldn't just be his face that would be slapped.
So no matter what happens today, even if he and Xiang Yan break up, he can't watch Su Qian being taken away.
Looking at the two people whose expressions suddenly changed, Xiang Yan suddenly burst into laughter.
He smiled and said, "Haha, what are Mr. Xie and Mr. Zhou doing? I am just joking with you. Why should I take it seriously? The war in Yuezhou is urgent right now, and there are always some spies sneaking in at any time."
"I did this just for the safety of Yuezhou. Now it seems that it is my fault. I will apologize to the Marquis of Dongshan."
"Come here, pick a room for the two princes so they can have a good rest."
Hearing what Xiang Yan said, Zhou Tai, who looked ugly, couldn't say anything more.
It is already rare to get the always domineering Xiang Yan to surrender. If they continue to make trouble, they may not necessarily gain more benefits.
After all, most of Yuezhou's military power is still in Xiang Yan's hands. Read the book
Just when everyone thought the matter was over, everyone was preparing to take Su Qi'an and Xie Cang down to rest.
Su Qi'an, who had been silent all this time, said, "Haha, Yuezhou Lieutenant is indeed the number one person in Yuezhou. He can reveal the current matter so lightly with just a few casual words. I really admire him."
"Lord Zhou, it seems to me that Lord Xiang does not like our visit to support you. In this case, we have no reason to continue to stay."
"If you insist on staying here, I'm afraid it will ruin Lord Xiang's interest. Maybe my waiting here will also affect Lord Xiang's performance. Brother Xie, let's go."
Xie Cang quickly reacted and nodded in agreement, "Well, Brother Su is right. I think the war in Yuezhou is not that urgent. They can handle it themselves. It's really not pleasant for us to stay here." , it’s okay to walk.”
With that said, Xie Cang and Su Qi'an left without even looking at Xiang Yan.
This frightened Zhou Tai. Su Qi'an and Xie Cang were the people His Highness the Sixth Prince asked him to invite.
We finally invited him to Yuezhou City, but he hasn’t seen him yet and left as soon as he said he would. When His Highness the Sixth comes back, will he still have good results?
Zhou Tai stepped forward to stop him and hurriedly explained, "Don't be anxious, you two princes. Why bother for such a small thing? I also ask the two princes, for the sake of His Highness, please don't leave, otherwise I won't be able to explain to you." ah."
The more Zhou Tai said this, the more Su Qi'an seemed to care less, Xie Cang said coldly beside him.
"Lord Zhou, I can't blame you for this matter. After all, this matter did not originate from you. As princes, we all have dignity no matter what. If we receive such humiliation in Yuezhou today, if the news spreads, we will not be laughed at. "
"If this is revealed so lightly, I'm afraid the whole of Great Liang will think that the Duke is easy to bully."
After saying this, Xie Cang and Su Qi'an accelerated their steps. As they were about to walk out of the lobby, Xiang Yan's voice suddenly sounded.
"You two princes, wait!"
Xie Cang didn't look back, his steps stagnated, and he said softly, "I wonder what's wrong with Mr. Xiang?"
Xiang Yan's face was indifferent and he was silent for a long time. Then he said softly, "This matter is my fault. I didn't think carefully. I shouldn't joke with Mr. Su. I would like to apologize to Mr. Su here."
"But the two marquises cannot leave. Since they came to Yuezhou, it is also to break the siege of Yuezhou. Yuezhou needs the support of the marquises' troops."
"I hope that the two princes can put aside their past grudges and cooperate with the Yuezhou soldiers. Here, I would like to express my gratitude to the two princes."
Xiang Yan's attitude was quite sincere, but Xie Cang accurately stepped down and gave Xiang Yan some face.
His arm was gently held by Su Qi'an, and then Su Qi'an turned around and looked at Xiang Yandao.
"I accept Lord Xiang's apology, but I don't understand something. Lord Xiang wants the troops we lead to cooperate with the Yuezhou soldiers. Can I understand it this way? In the war in Yuezhou, the troops we lead will , we can only obey the orders of the Yuezhou Command, and we don’t have any right to transfer?”
As soon as these words came out, Xie Cang's expression changed slightly.
, if this is the case, what is the difference between them and ordinary soldiers?
They came to support Yuezhou to help Yuezhou resolve the war crisis, but it did not mean that the troops in their hands were under the command of Yuezhou, and they had no right to mobilize them.
This kind of support does not mean that they obey Yuezhou Lieutenant's orders.
They are just princes, and their rank is not much different from that of Yuezhou captains. If they can't even command their own troops, that would be the real embarrassment to the world.
Hearing what Su Qi'an said, Lieutenant Yuezhou pondered for a while, nodded and said.
"Yes, this is also done to facilitate the command. Although the two princes are a little aggrieved, everything is for the sake of pacifying the war in Yuezhou."
"Hmph, what a sincere apology from Lord Xiang in order to quell the war in Yuezhou. He opens and closes his mouth and wants to take away the military power of the nearly 20,000 soldiers under my command. This deal is really not a bad deal."
"If the people in the Yuezhou Command are still smart and know how to fight, maybe I can still consider it."
"But now, I have seen with my own eyes that such a rubbish command headquarters wants me to hand over the military power, are you worthy of it!"
As soon as Su Qian's words came out, everyone in the lobby immediately changed their expressions, especially Xiang Yan.
To be able to insult Xiang Yan so openly and openly, and referring to Xiang Yan, is simply impossible in Yuezhou.
Xiang Yan's face was gloomy, he looked at Su Qi'an and said coldly, "Master Su, do you know what you are talking about!"
Su Qi'an completely ignored Xiang Yan's threat and sneered, "Why, you are still not convinced after being called rubbish? If you were really capable, how could you have stolen the three counties of Yuezhou by pirates?"
"I came to Yuezhou to support you because of the face of His Highness the Sixth Highness. His Highness asked me to come here, not to give you people. It is very simple to get the military power under me. I will hand over the commander-in-chief of the war in Yuezhou. , otherwise, I won’t have time to waste time with you.”
