Both sides spoke softly, but everyone could feel the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two sides.
There is a strong chilling atmosphere in the air. Soldiers from both sides, as long as they give an order, a big battle will definitely happen.
As the highest commanders of this war, neither Su Qi'an nor Tang Feng had the slightest intention to take action, and there was a hint of temptation in their words.
The tit-for-tat confrontation between the two did not last long, under Su Qian's signal.
From the army behind them, a group of prisoners with their hands bound were brought up.
These people were none other than the seven or eight officials who had ambushed Su Qi'an before.
Su Qian smiled and said, "Master Tang should be familiar with these adults. Do you think you should talk to me? If a war really breaks out, I'm worried that Master Tang won't be able to bear it."
Tang Feng was not surprised at all by Su Qi'an's move. He sneered and said immediately.
"This state appreciates the kindness of Marquis Dongshan, but these officials have colluded with you a long time ago and staged such a show with this state. Hmm, are these rebellious officials and traitors worthy of it?"
"If the Marquis of Dongshan wants to force Benzhou Kaicheng to surrender with the help of a few rebellious ministers and traitors, wouldn't Benzhou be very sorry to the people of Sichuandu County!"
"Dongshan Hou, I hope that as a prince, you should not break the law and go further and further on the path of rebellious officials and traitors. If you are willing to lay down your weapons and surrender, I will definitely be with the court and say something good for you to save your life. , it can be done.”
"Marquis Dongshan, don't make the same mistake again and again, and you will be disgraced by the emperor."
Tang Feng's words brought a sneer to Su Qi'an's face. He did not answer the words. He turned his eyes to the seven or eight officials who had become prisoners and said softly.
"Haha, my lords, have you seen it? This is Lord Tang who you serve loyally. Unexpectedly, all of you, like me, have now become the so-called rebellious officials and traitors. I wonder what your lords think."
In fact, Su Qi'an didn't even need to speak. When the captive Xizhou officials heard Tang Feng's characterization of them, their eyes showed disappointment.
What was more shocking was that they were clearly ordered by Tang Feng to attack Su Qi'an. Only a short time later, they were directly identified as the same rebellious officials and traitors as Su Qi'an. How could these people be willing to accept it.
But even so, among the seven or eight officials, there were still one or two who stood on Tang Feng's side and fought back against Su Qi'an.
"Humph, Mr. Su, don't stir up trouble here. The real traitor is you. Zhou Mu is acting like this so that he won't be fooled by you."
"You really think that by taking us as prisoners, you can threaten Mr. Zhou Mu. Su Qian, you underestimate Mr. Tang. Just wait, you will definitely lose this battle!"
Looking at the official who was still obsessed with opening his mouth, Su Qian just said softly.
"Okay, since you trust Tang Feng so much, I will follow your wishes."
"Someone, please take off the ropes from their bodies and let them go."
The soldiers under his command stepped forward, swords raised and lowered in their hands, and the ropes of seven or eight prisoners were cut off.
Several officials looked stunned, with strong expressions of shock. They couldn't believe that Su Qi'an actually planned to let them go.
"Why don't you want to leave? Do you want to remain a prisoner?"
Hearing what Su Qi'an said, several officials came back to their senses, took a deep look at Su Qi'an, and said coldly before fleeing.
"Su Qi'an, don't think that if you let us go, I will thank you later. We lost this time, but it does not mean that Xizhou lost. Su Qi'an, just wait, we will see."
Immediately, under Su Qi'an's gaze, seven or eight officials rushed towards the front of Sichuandu County.
Su Yong behind him saw this scene and asked softly, "Sir, are we just going to let them go like this? Isn't there something wrong with this?"
"Su Yong, don't you really think they can enter Chuandu County alive? Don't look at who is standing on the wall. Just watch carefully. They will only die."
Before Su Qi'an spoke, Xie Cang beside him said directly. Su Yong nodded thoughtfully, looking at the seven or eight people who were escaping.
The seven or eight officials released by Su Qi'an made all their efforts towards
Sichuandu County City ran away.
While running, he waved his palms to signal the city gate to open.
As they gradually approached, they were less than thirty feet away from the city gate.
What greeted them was not an open city gate, but a dozen arrows shooting rapidly.
The arrows were very fast and arrived in the blink of an eye. By the time a few people reacted, their bodies had already been pierced by the arrows.
The bodies of several people stiffened, with disbelief on their faces. They raised their heads and looked at Tang Feng and the others on the tower.
Their expressions were indifferent, indifferent to the few people hit by arrows.
"Why...why!"
The officials who were hit by the arrow struggled to express their questions before they died. Unfortunately, they could not wait for Tang Feng's answer in the end, and seven or eight of them soon fell to the ground and died.
At the moment when they died, the voice of the messenger sounded again.
"According to Lord Zhou Mu's order, the rebellious officials and traitors who colluded with Su Qi'an will be killed without mercy."
Tang Feng's words not only informed Su Qi'an, but also served as a warning to many officials and soldiers around him.
Anyone who colludes with Su Qi'an and becomes a prisoner of Su Qi'an is a traitor and a traitor.
There is only death and absolutely no way to survive. Everything is to repay the emperor's kindness and protect Xizhou.
Tang Feng's move did not go beyond Su Qi'an's expectations. This was the Tang Feng he knew. Not only was he ruthless, he was also able to serve the imperial court and defend Xizhou with their death.
In the end, Su Qi'an was completely characterized as a rebellious official and a traitor. Everything he did was legitimate and legal.
It has to be said that Tang Feng is indeed capable of ruling Xizhou.
The death of the captive official did not cause much loss to Su Qian.
Officials like them who were diehards and had been completely brainwashed by Tang Feng would be of no use to him.
Su Qi'an gave these officials a chance to live, but it was a pity that they did not cherish it. Since they wanted to return to Tang Feng, Su Qi'an followed their wishes.
In the end, it was no one else's fault that he ended up dead.
Su Qian looked at the indifferent Tang Feng on the tower and said.
"As expected of the state shepherd of Yizhou, he even kills people in such a fair and upright manner. To throw all the dirty water on me, Mr. Tang is really insidious."
"Master Tang thinks that I am a traitor and a traitor, so I will have some fun with Master Tang."
Su Qi'an clapped his hands, and in the army behind him, Tang Xiao was controlled and sent up.
"Master Tang said that those who colluded with me and became my captives are all traitors and traitors, and they will be killed at will. Then I wonder if the prince who became a prisoner is also a traitor and traitor as Lord Tang said."
Seeing Tang Xiao being controlled by a group of soldiers and slowly being brought forward, the expressions of many officials and soldiers behind him changed subtly.
But they didn't dare to say anything and looked at Tang Feng silently.
Tang Xiao looked ugly and struggled, wanting to say something, but his mouth had already been covered with a strip of cloth by Su Qi.
He couldn't say anything, but it could be seen that he was still very resistant to being sent up.
He saw clearly the deaths of seven or eight officials before.
Tang Xiao was not worried that Tang Feng would take action against him, let alone want him to die.
Based on his understanding of his father, if Tang Feng wanted him dead, he would have been dead long ago when Su Qi'an captured him and made him a prisoner.
What he resisted was not Tang Feng, but his group of soldiers.
After all, who can guarantee that at this juncture, Tang Feng would speak like this just now.
Maybe a stupid young man with a hot head will pop up and shoot him an arrow.
If so, then his death would be called an injustice.
Even though Tang Xiao resisted with all his body, under the leadership of a group of soldiers, they were less than forty feet away from the city gate.
With the archer's archery skills, it was more than enough to kill him at this distance.
Tang Xiaotai understood that Su Qi'an pushed him out just to force his father to
, let Tang Feng make a choice.
If it weren't for the cloth stuffed in his mouth, Tang Xiao would have cursed Su Qi'an hundreds of times.
Compared with Su Qi'an who was enjoying the show, Tang Feng rarely showed any emotional changes on his face.
That kind of calmness surprised all the officials who knew him.
Watching Tang Xiao continue to enter the range of the sharp archer, a smile appeared on Tang Feng's calm face.
There are only two things that can make Tang Feng like this. Either he hides the extreme anger in his heart with a smile, or he has a trump card in his hand to turn the situation around.
While the officials were guessing, Tang Feng, who had been silent until now, chuckled and spoke.
"Haha, I thought that after three years of not seeing each other, Dongshan Hou would make some progress, but I didn't expect that he would still be the same as before, engaging in dramas of prisoner threats. Hey, Dongshan Hou, you have let this state down so much in the past three years."
Tang Feng had a look of regret on his face, shook his head, and then waved his hand.
The next moment, there was a commotion behind everyone, and many officials turned around.
A group of men in black suddenly appeared. There were not enough of them, about twenty or thirty people.
But their appearance gave many officials a palpitation.
"This is a master, a real master!"
Everyone has made this judgment in their hearts. They can be in Sichuandu County, without armor, and can appear among high-level officials.
Most of these people are the elites of Tang Feng's private soldiers, and only Tang Feng has the ability to do this.
Of course, everyone's focus was not always on the men in black who appeared, but on the dozen or so people they controlled in their hands.
These people were both men and women, with their hands tied behind their backs. At first glance, they looked like ordinary people.
Looking around, some officials' eyes flickered. For some reason, these people gave them a familiar feeling.
These people were carried and stood on the tower.
Tang Feng's voice sounded immediately, "Su Qi'an, I don't need to talk to Benzhou about these people. You should be more familiar with them than Benzhou."
"Haha, I'm sorry, after experiencing the fall three years ago, Honshu will not fall twice at the same point three years later." Kanshu La
"I haven't seen my relatives and friends for three years. Today I see them on this occasion. I wonder how you feel, Lord Dongshan."
