Not long after Su Qi'an walked out of the ruined temple and arrived at the small courtyard, there was a slight curse behind him.
The person who spoke was none other than Su Kang, King of Yue. Zhao Zhouwei's performance just now was too much in his eyes.
After Su Qi'an left, Su Kang scolded Zhao Zhouwei.
The group of people left the ruined temple and came to the small courtyard, where they were scolded by Su Kang.
Zhao Zhouwei, who was still aggressive just now, has long since lost his arrogance.
He hurriedly ran to Su Qi'an to apologize. He didn't know the importance of it and had offended the Marquis of Dongshan. He hoped that the Marquis of Dongshan could forgive him.
Zhao Zhouwei's attitude was very sincere. At this time, Su Kang also said, "I hope Suhou can give Zhao Zhouwei a chance for the sake of my king. This matter is due to my lax discipline."
"I promise that they will make compensation and give an explanation to Su Hou. You also know that Yuezhou officials should not go into war at the moment, so Su Hou..."
"What did His Highness say? Is this the kind of narrow-minded person? Since His Highness has come forward, how can Su be disrespectful? Moreover, this matter is not a big deal in the first place. Since Zhaozhou Wei has apologized, This matter will naturally pass."
Before Su Kang could finish speaking, Su Qi'an took him over.
Hearing what Su Qi'an said, Su Kang had a smile on his face and said softly, "I admire Su Hou's broad-mindedness. Have you seen it? This is the real prince. You should learn more in the future. Don't think that you are a People can be arrogant and not take anyone seriously."
"Yes, I'll keep it in mind." The officials behind him quickly nodded and expressed their understanding.
"Su Hou, we've pretty much seen here, and there's nothing good to see. I'll leave the rest to them. How about we leave here first."
Su Qi'an nodded and followed Su Kang and his party to leave the ruined temple.
Su Kang's arrival was to reward the generals such as the Splitting Mountain Army, and he had prepared food and wine at the county government residence early.
Just waiting for Su Qi'an and Xie Cang to attend the banquet.
Su Qi'an did not refuse Su Kang's kindness. Su Qi'an did not value this reward very much, but the next group of soldiers he faced was very important.
This is a recognition and an affirmation of their efforts to quell the war in Yuezhou.
Therefore, tonight's reward must be a grand display. As the banquet begins, everyone in the water city will have to stay up all night.
From the county government mansion to the streets outside, there were tables filled with people drinking and drinking. It was very lively.
With Su Qi'an's permission, the team directly under his command could drink freely and vent their anger.
However, Su Qi'an was not immersed in the lively reward tonight. After clinking glasses with Su Kang and other Yuezhou senior officials and having a brief exchange, he excused himself to take a rest and left first.
Leaving with him were Xie Cang, Tong Zhan and other confidants.
As soon as they returned to their mansion and entered the room, Xie Cang's voice suddenly sounded.
"Humph, Brother Su, I think these Yuezhou bastards are just like that. I really thought they had two brushes. Now it seems that they are no different from those dudes from aristocratic families."
"If King Yue hadn't intervened, this matter wouldn't have been so easy today."
Xie Cang's dissatisfaction represented not only himself, but also Tong Zhan and Wang Yan standing behind him.
What Zhao Zhouwei just said had extremely sinister intentions. If Su Qi'an hadn't shown his strength and struck him, he would have weighed it up.
I'm afraid it wasn't that easy just now.
Su Qi'an comforted the dissatisfaction of several people, and then smiled and said, "Brother Xie, everyone, Zhaozhou Lieutenant is just a small fish, used to test us, but he has a big intention behind his back."
"Testing? Su Hou, are you referring to the King of Yue? This is impossible. The interests of the two parties of Yuezhou represented by the King of Yue and Zhaozhou Wei, how could they come together."
Xie Cang was a little puzzled, and Su Qian'an said, "Yes, if it were normal times, it would be impossible for the two of them to cooperate, but it is no different now than during war."
"After pacifying the Yuezhou pirates, the Yuezhou officials went on a bloodbath. The current situation in Yuezhou has gone from the aristocratic family having the upper hand to the two sides being evenly matched.
. "
"After resolving the internal conflicts, we are now going to issue an eviction order. We seem to be a little unpopular now."
"Sir, what they did is too much. In this war, you did the most, but you didn't get any benefits in the end. This is really disgusting." Tong Zhan had a bit of anger on his face.
"This is normal. After all, Yuezhou is a land of one state. Who can resist the temptation of one state's rights? If outsiders like us continue to stay, we will become a thorn in their side. This provocation is a warning. .”
"It's time for us to leave." Hearing Su Qi'an say this, several people didn't know what to say.
Indeed, this Yuezhou is not a good place. Even if we beg them to stay, they will not stay.
After talking to Su Qi'an for a few words, Tong Zhan, Wang Yan and others left the room, leaving only Su Qi'an and Xie Cang.
Watching the two of them leave, Su Qian asked, "Brother Xie, have you noticed any changes in our King of Yue?"
"Change?" Xie Cang's eyes flashed, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "Our King of Yue seems to be more confident than before. To be more precise, he is showing more and more of the dignity of a prince."
"That's right. At first, he was suppressed by the local aristocratic family, but now the two sides are evenly matched. The feeling of victory and energy have naturally returned."
"This is a good thing for the prince, but for us, it's not that simple."
"So Brother Su used Zhaozhou Lieutenant's test to reveal his confidence. Is this also a warning to the King of Yue?"
Su Qian nodded and said, "I have a hunch that after this war in Yuezhou, it will not be long before Yuezhou will be controlled by the King of Yue. As for the local aristocratic families, I am afraid they will not be his opponents."
"From the time we were invited to come to Yuezhou to all the major events we have experienced, I feel that His Highness the King of Yue is very extraordinary. I even suspect that this war has something to do with the Sixth Prince. Maybe he is behind the scenes. A force."
"Our actions have become more like a knife in other people's hands, and instead we have solved some troubles for them."
Hearing what Su Qi'an said, Xie Cang's eyes became solemn. He knew that Su Qi'an was not a casual talker.
If he dares to say this, he must have a reason, and he has been with Su Kang for some time.
Although I didn't find anything unusual about him, now it seems that the more he looks like this, the weirder he looks.
After all, he is not an ordinary person. He is the sixth son of His Majesty. He has been in Yuezhou for at least fifteen years.
For fifteen years, it is no longer easy to survive in the disaster-ridden Yuezhou.
Thinking about it now, if they continue to stay in Yuezhou and get along with this mysterious sixth prince, they may be the ones who suffer.
That night, the reward party at the county government mansion lasted all night. Similarly, Su Qi'an and Xie Cang also stayed awake in the room for a long time.
By the second day, it was bright and clear, and except for Su Qi'an and others who left early last night, everyone else was basically fast asleep.
Su Qi'an didn't wake them up. After a big battle, they finally had time to relax, so they had to have a good rest.
In this way, everyone slept from dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn, until they completely relaxed day and night, allowing their soldiers to fully recover.
When they got up, an order came, "Gather quickly and return to Jiaozhou immediately."
This order came very suddenly, but as they expected, they originally came here to Yuezhou for support. Now that the war has calmed down, it is only a matter of time before they return to Jiaozhou.
After a while, the Splitting Mountain Army and Su Qi'an's direct team quickly assembled.
Suddenly, Shuixiang City was quite lively. ap.
Countless people took to the streets to bid farewell to Su Qi'an, Xie Cang and others with great reluctance.
On a pier outside Shuixiang City, there was a group of people standing. In addition to the Shuixiang County Magistrate, they were also accompanied by Su Kang and other Yuezhou officials.
This timing is very clever. I wonder if they knew
Su Qi'an was about to leave, but he happened to catch up. I'm afraid only they knew this.
This time, Su Qi'an and Xie Cang did not leave by land, but by water. Taking the water route through Nanzhou and changing from Nanzhou to land would save one-third of the time when they came back to Jiaozhou.
Su Kang was a little surprised that Su Qi'an and Xie Cang left so quickly.
He stood on the pier and said goodbye to Su Qi'an and Xie Cang. He said with some regret, "Hey, what a pity. I wanted to keep you all for a few more days, but I didn't expect you to leave in such a hurry. I also know that Su Hou and Xie Hou There must be important matters to deal with before leaving, so I won’t say anything more.”
"If there is a next time, I hope you can come to Yuezhou again so that I can fulfill my duty as a landlord."
"Zhou Tai, during this escort, we must ensure the safety of the two princes, and also see them off for me."
Su Kang suddenly turned his head and said to Zhou Tai behind him.
Zhou Tai nodded with an affirmative look.
After both sides said goodbye, Su Kang watched Su Qi'an, Xie Cang and others board the ship.
Under Su Kang's gaze, the civilian ship slowly started to move and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Suhou, Xiehou, take care!" Su Kang's voice disappeared as the civilian ship sailed away.
At this time, Su Qi'an and Xie Cang, who were standing on the bow of the ship, looked away, with a little sigh on their faces.
After a while, Su Qi'an turned his head and said to Zhou Tai beside him, "Time flies so fast. A month has passed in a blink of an eye. It's a coincidence. When I came, I was escorted by Mr. Zhou, and when I left, it was the same. I had to He said, we are really destined to meet Mr. Zhou."
"Haha, it is an honor for me to escort Su Hou and Xie Hou away."
"I heard that Mr. Zhou was injured in the war. I don't know how to stand still."
"Thank you for your concern, Hou Su. Xiaguan's injury is not a problem. He is basically about 70 to 80% better." Zhou Tai said respectfully.
"That's good. If something happens to Mr. Zhou, I would be really ashamed."
"This time I am accompanied by Mr. Zhou, and I feel a little more at ease. For some reason, I always feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Mr. Zhou. I wonder if Mr. Zhou feels this way." Su Qian looked at Zhou Tai with a smile.
