The sound of the 30,000-strong army filled with thick murderous intent resounded through the sky, and a strong sense of chilling came over them.
Faced with this momentum, Tang Feng, who was standing on the Xizhou City Tower, was extremely calm and sneered.
"The Marquis of Dongshan is so arrogant, he dares to kill this state, huh, I wonder if the Marquis of Dongshan has this ability!"
"If you have this ability, Mr. Zhou Mu will be able to test it out."
Su Qi'an also had a sneer on his face, raised his palms high, and wanted to give the order to launch a decisive battle against Xizhou City.
But at this moment, a sharp, cold voice sounded from the Xizhou Tower.
"Haha, I have long heard that Dongshan Hou is famous. When we first met him in Kyoto, our family didn't think so. But now it seems that Dongshan Hou is really powerful and domineering."
"I haven't seen you for three years. Marquis Dongshan, how are you doing?"
Su Qi'an raised his head, and there was a person standing beside Tang Feng. Hearing this person's voice, Su Qi'an first frowned, recalling the appearance of this person in his mind.
After a while, he seemed to think of something and said calmly, "It turns out to be Director Feng. What kind of wind has alarmed you?"
Feng Zheng was one of the four chief eunuchs of the court and a confidant of His Majesty Su Xuanyong. He was responsible for taking care of the daily life of the tenth prince Su Xian in Kyoto.
Three years ago, Su Qi'an went to Kyoto for the first time and had a chance encounter with Superintendent Feng.
I don't know much about this person, but his status is not low among the four prisons.
Second only to Superintendent Xiao, who has always been with Su Xuanyong, in terms of status, he is much higher than Wang Xian and Huang Feng.
If he didn't have Su Xuanyong's absolute trust, it would be impossible to send him to take care of the tenth prince.
When Feng Zheng came to Xizhou, Su Qi'an didn't even hear the slightest news, which is enough to show that Tang Feng's confidentiality work was quite good.
When he stood on the Xizhou City Tower, Su Qian could roughly guess some of the causes and consequences.
No wonder Tang Feng remained calm even when the decisive battle came and Xizhou City was in danger. It turned out that this was his real trump card.
Don't underestimate Feng Zheng's status in the court. Even Zheng Yuan, who has become Prime Minister, would not dare to offend easily.
For more than ten years, he has been a popular person around Su Xuanyong and is highly valued by Su Xuanyong. Compared with Wang Xian, who is said to be the supervisor of the army, his status is not much higher.
This time he came to Xizhou City, and he alone was enough to make Su Qian not dare to act rashly.
When Feng Zheng comes here, he most likely carries the imperial edict with him. As long as Feng Zheng brings out the imperial edict, in a sense, Feng Zheng is Su Xuanyong's spokesperson.
Even if Su Qi'an holds an army of 30,000 and forms a siege, he may be in trouble if he wants to launch a large-scale siege in a grand manner.
This person was definitely here to speak for Tang Feng. Feng Zheng's appearance caught Su Qi'an off guard.
But it doesn't all mean bad news. Most of the people in the court know about the war in Xizhou.
It’s unclear whether it’s just the original version or whether it’s just added fuel and vinegar.
Su Qi'an adjusted his mentality slightly. He wanted to see how Feng Zheng would resolve the matter this time.
Feng Zheng, who was standing on the tower, said with a smile, "Haha, originally our family didn't want to come all the way to Xizhou, but you made so much noise, Marquis Dongshan, and our family also accepted His Majesty's order. , I can only make one trip."
"I see. This trip has really put Superintendent Feng through a lot of hard work. Since His Majesty has been alarmed, he must have brought an imperial edict to the Superintendent. I would really like to hear how Your Majesty makes a decision."
Feng Zheng nodded, he did not take out the imperial edict, and said calmly, "That is natural, but our family was entrusted by His Majesty before leaving. This imperial edict can only be listened to and read by the Marquis and Lord Tang. Others, please wait. Forgive me, Lord Marquis."
Su Qi'an nodded, understood what Feng Zheng meant, and said, "In this case, I will not embarrass the eunuch. Please open the city gate. I will only enter the city with some of my entourage. I believe the eunuch can do this." A fair judgment."
Su Qian's words put a smile on Feng Zheng's face and said, "The Marquis is really a smart man. Mr. Tang, you have to learn more from the Marquis of Dongshan when it comes to handling some things. It's not too late."
Open the city gate quickly. "
"The eunuch is right, Honshu has learned a lesson." Tang Feng looked humble and then waved to open the city gate.
The city gate slowly opened. Su Qi'an rode on a horse, followed by a small team of about ten people. Under the watchful eyes of Xie Cang and Su Yong, Su Qi'an entered the city together with about ten followers.
This scene made Li Hu and Zhao Da who were following them quite puzzled.
They hurriedly said, "Mr. Xie, are we just watching your husband lead a dozen people into the city and do nothing? No matter how you look at it, it's all a trap. What if something happens to your husband?"
"Yes, just relying on the dozen or so people like Mr., we don't know what's going on outside. Based on my understanding of Tang Feng, this entry into the city is 100% a Hongmen Banquet. We'd better attack the city. If something happens to Mr. , we didn’t even have time to rescue.”
The two people's worries are not unreasonable. After all, they have served as Tang Feng's bodyguards for a while. Although they are not personal bodyguards, they are still a group of people who are relatively close to him.
After several years of getting along, they knew very well what Tang Feng was.
Su Qi'an brought a dozen people into the city, which was no different from entering the city alone. If something happened, to put it bluntly, they would not even know what was going on outside.
This was what they were most anxious about, but Xie Cang and Su Yong were quite calm at this time.
After watching Su Qi'an enter the city, there was a faint smile on his face.
Xie Cang didn't speak, but Su Yong on the side said, "Brother Hu, Brother Zhao, you don't think those who entered the city with your husband are a group of ordinary people, do you?"
"They are the most powerful group in the Dongshan Army. Let's put it this way, even Brother Tong Zhan is no match for them when it comes to fighting alone. Moreover, among them, there is a ruthless character who can be called the God of Death."
When the two heard this, they were startled at first, but there was still a hint of worry on their faces.
They admitted that if there were such a group of decision-making experts guarding Su Qi'an, no one would be able to get into him.
But this time when entering Xizhou City, Tang Feng's temperament would not allow him to send heavy troops and surround him layer by layer, even if the people around Su Qi'an could fight one against a hundred.
But facing a swarm of swarms and a steady stream of soldiers attacking, even the most ruthless person will be exhausted.
This is why, whether in Daliang or Dairong, these masters with martial arts skills are good at assassination investigation, but once a war breaks out.
Especially in a war between two armies with tens of thousands of troops, these top masters will eventually die in the endless torrent of steel.
Therefore, even if Su Qi'an is accompanied by a top master, as long as Tang Feng keeps fighting, Su Qi'an will die sooner or later.
Xie Cang and Su Yong understood the two people's worries, and Xie Cang spoke at this time.
"Brother Su is not following the eunuch's edict when he comes to the city this time. I dare say that Tang Feng will regret inviting Brother Su to the city this time."
"Don't worry, Brother Su keeps them by his side. Tang Feng is not far from death. As for Superintendent Feng, he might be Brother Su's life-saving card."
"Don't worry, give the order to the entire army. In two quarters of an hour, regardless of whether the gates of Xizhou City are opened or not, the entire army will launch a general attack to meet Brother Su."
The two people who heard Xie Cang's words were somewhat ignorant, but they could probably guess that their husband was very determined in what he was going to do in this battle.
They don't have to do anything, just start fighting when the time comes.
This time, Xizhou City is bound to be within their grasp.
On the other side, Su Qi'an led a dozen people, led by Tang Feng and Feng Zheng, towards the city.
The surrounding streets were still the same as they were three years ago, but now they were completely empty.
Apart from them and a group of soldiers guarding them, there was not a single civilian around.
This was Tang Feng's order. In order to protect Su Qi'an's safety and welcome Su Qi'an's arrival, the people in the city were prohibited from leaving their houses.
Once a wanderer is found, kill him immediately.
Therefore, the road looks particularly clean and casual.
After looking at it for a while, Su Qian withdrew his gaze.
It's so clean and empty, it's better not to look at it.
Walking all the way into the city, Tang Feng led the way, while Feng Zheng was talking and laughing with Su Qi'an.
"It is an honor for our family that Marquis Dongshan trusts us so much. Please rest assured, Marquis Dongshan, that our family will satisfy you with this reconciliation."
"As the saying goes, it is better to resolve enemies than to end them. I think the Marquis of Dongshan is also willing to resolve the issue, and Mr. Tang is also interested. Here, we have an unkind request, and I hope that the Marquis can agree to it."
As soon as Feng Zheng spoke, Su Qi'an took him over, "The eunuch is talking about the crown prince Tang Xiao, right? If that's the case, please rest assured, eunuch, although I act a bit tough, I haven't killed anyone yet." as a son."
"It's not like someone who not only tries to kill my relatives and friends, but even spares his own son. As the old saying goes, a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds. Superintendent, can you tell me if a person like this can even kill his own son?" Worse than animals."
Feng Zheng's smiling face suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment. His eyes inadvertently looked at Tang Feng who was leading the way. Tang Feng seemed not to be affected and continued to lead the way.
Feng Zheng looked away and could only agree with an embarrassed smile.
"As long as the eunuch can give me a satisfactory explanation, I will definitely give the eunuch a satisfactory answer."
"Then our family is here, thank you Dongshan Hou."
The group of people were walking and chatting. Under the leadership of Tang Feng, a rather gorgeous mansion appeared in front of everyone at the end of the street ahead.
This kind of mansion is about the same size as a county mansion, but it looks like it has been renovated in recent years. As Su Qi'an walked in, he let out a soft sigh.
"This mansion, if I remember correctly, seems to be the Gongsun family's mansion back then."
Tang Feng, who was leading the way, turned around and said to Su Qi'an with a smile, "Haha, as expected of Dongshan Hou, he has a good memory. Even if it is renovated, it still cannot escape Dongshan Hou's eyes. This photographic memory is I admire Honshu."
