"Marquis Dongshan guessed it right. This renovated mansion is the Gongsun's house that was confiscated back then."
"It's not that this state did it intentionally. After all, the three state-level mansions in Xizhou City were all built together. Even though the Gongsun family was confiscated, the mansion still belonged to the imperial court, so it was preserved. In order to save money, this state could only save it. Renovate it and use it as a reception residence. I hope the Marquis of Dongshan will not blame you."
Tang Feng's attitude was very sincere, as if he was a different person. It seemed that with the arrival of Feng Zheng, Tang Feng really planned to reconcile with Su Qi'an this time.
Su Qi'an waved his hand and said softly, "I am not a narrow-minded person. Speaking of it, if it weren't for Mr. Tang, it would have been quite difficult to overthrow the Gongsun family. With the fall of the Gongsun family, after so many years, it would have been difficult again. No one can stop Mr. Tang from covering the sky with one hand."
Su Qi'an's words made Tang Feng's face stiffen. Su Qi'an quickly joked, "Haha, Mr. Tang, don't be surprised. This is just a joke. Don't take it seriously."
After saying that, Su Qian took the lead and entered the mansion directly.
The layout of this mansion is no different from other county mansions. They all adopt the layout of front yard, middle room and back garden. It looks quite clean.
Everyone walked through the small courtyard and came to a room in the middle hall.
This room is very large. Although it is not comparable to a palace, it is more than enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
There were long tables for banquets on both sides of the room. Behind the long tables, there were red curtains falling, giving people a sense of mystery.
Su Qi'an walked in first, looked around, and without being polite, directly found a seat on the left and sat down. At the same time, more than a dozen followers stood behind him.
Feng Zheng and Tang Feng surprisingly did not sit in the first seat above, but sat opposite Su Qi'an.
This scene made Su Qi'an a little surprised, but Feng Zheng smiled and explained that it was to close the distance between the two parties. Sitting in the front seat always felt like he was superior.
This is of no benefit to mediation between the two parties.
As the three parties took their seats, Su Qi'an spoke directly, "Superintendent, I have also entered the city and taken my seat. I think we can start directly. I am looking forward to how your majesty plans to handle this war. "
Feng Zheng smiled, "Haha, don't be so impatient, Lord Dongshan. It's not that we don't want to read it out, but maybe Lord Dongshan has forgotten what we said at the city gate tower."
Su Qi'an patted his forehead and said softly, "I have been negligent in this matter. Someone is here to pass on my order. You guys should stand down."
A dozen people behind him obeyed the order and turned to leave. Just as Feng Zheng was watching this scene with satisfaction.
After a while, his smiling face turned a little ugly, because Su Qi'an's followers did not leave the room, but spread out, with Su Qi'an as the center, and guarded the room around the door, and even, The two followers who were close to the door closed the door with their backhands.
This made Feng Zheng obviously unhappy, but he still restrained himself and said softly, "Dongshan Hou, what do you mean?"
Su Qi'an pretended to be surprised and said with a smile, "What, could it be that I have misjudged the thoughts of the Chief Superintendent and Mr. Tang?"
"Lure this prince into the city, trick him here, and then kill him."
"I think this crime can be directly determined. The Marquis of Dongshan gathered a crowd to envy the private soldiers and invaded Xizhou brazenly. He had great intentions of separatism and rebellion. His Majesty ordered him to be executed."
"After all, the chief eunuch represents His Majesty. As for what is written in the imperial edict, it is not the chief eunuch who has the final say."
"When this prince is beheaded and executed on the spot, the eunuch cannot return to the capital. He directly reports to His Majesty that Dongshan Hou intends to rebel. With the help of Mr. Tang, the evidence of the crime has been verified and he has been executed in Xizhou City. This is a big deal. Will the prisoner be able to deliver the mission smoothly?"
"And I think this curtain is the most suitable place for hiding people. It's more than enough to hide a dozen or twenty swordsmen and axemen. Then if I wait for them to meet each other and get drunk and attack directly, there's still a high chance that I can get someone." There’s a chance for a cell phone.”
Su Qi'an picked up the wine glass in front of him and said with a smile, "Look, the reasons I gave the two adults are sufficient.
Bar. "
"Dongshan Hou, what are you talking about? You haven't even drunk yet, and you're saying these drunken words. Our family won't understand."
Feng Zheng's expression changed, and he couldn't help but clench the palms hidden in his sleeves.
But he quickly returned to normal, showing doubts in his eyes, staring at the smiling Su Qi'an.
Su Qi'an did not speak, but played with the wine glass in his hand. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became quite depressed.
This depression did not last long, and was soon broken by Tang Feng's laughter.
"Hahaha, he is indeed the most talented person in the Great Liang. With his logic, reasoning, and wisdom, he knows that he cannot be fooled by Dongshan Hou."
"Hey, Honshu has long said that he wants to show off in front of Dongshan Marquis, but he is a bit cunning. Superintendent, we might as well admit it openly, maybe it will have good results."
Tang Feng turned his head and looked at Feng Zheng beside him with a smile.
At this time, Feng Zheng no longer maintained his pretentiousness, and a sneer appeared on his fair face. The look of that smile made people panic.
Feng Zheng chuckled and said, "May I ask when Marquis Dongshan discovered that this was a trap, and why he was so sure that our family would kill Marquis Dongshan."
"Does Marquis Dongshan really not want to know what His Majesty wrote in the real edict?"
Su Qi'an put down the wine glass in his hand and said softly. "This matter is too simple. If you do a little research on the relationship between me and Master Tang, you will know that it is completely impossible to reconcile between him and me."
"With Lord Tang's temperament, it is difficult for Lord Tang to be able to keep his composure and talk to me so kindly."
"Don't talk about this matter to me. Just pick up any of my soldiers. As long as they see me entering the city, they will most likely guess that this is a Hongmen Banquet."
"And when the war reaches this point, we are only one step away. As long as we can capture Xizhou City, the entire Xizhou is almost at our fingertips. Such a good opportunity, if Lord Tang and I were to change it, I don't think Lord Tang would be able to win it." You will miss the opportunity to annex Jiaozhou."
Feng Zheng looked at Su Qi'an for a long time. The next moment, he clapped his hands and said, "It's interesting. The changes in the past three years have been quite big for the Marquis of Dongshan. Even his ambitions have gradually grown. Our family can understand it now." That’s what Mr. Tang has always been worried about.”
"If you continue to allow Dongshan Hou to rise, he must be a dangerous person. Now it seems that you, Dongshan Hou, are indeed dangerous."
"Haha, the supervisor has given me the award."
"But our family is a bit confused. Since you can guess that this time entering the city is a Hongmen Banquet, you don't have to, but only bring a dozen people into the city. Is Dongshan Hou so confident that he can win the victory with these dozen people? The entire Xizhou City?"
"Or maybe, without knowing it, Dongshan Hou secretly sent people to sneak into Xizhou City in advance, and they want to cooperate inside and outside?"
Speaking of this, Feng Zheng looked at Tang Feng beside him.
Tang Feng's expression changed, but he quickly recovered. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Su Qian.
"Haha, Master Tang, don't be so nervous. Although I have some abilities, I really can't leave for three years and arrange for people to lurk under your nose to cooperate inside and outside again."
"If there are really people of mine in Xizhou City, I'm afraid you, Mr. Tang and the eunuch, won't be qualified to sit across from me and talk."
"Master Tang, you can keep your heart in your stomach. These are the only twelve followers who will follow me into the city this time."
After Su Qi'an said this, Tang Feng felt somewhat relaxed. He had suffered losses twice in a row. If Su Qi'an came to Xizhou City for a third time, wouldn't it mean that he, the Xizhou Shepherd, was really a waste? .
Su Qi'an's words aroused Feng Zheng's curiosity about him. The curtain behind him had been opened. Behind Su Qi'an, there were rows of soldiers holding swords and axes.
The number of these soldiers was not large, only twenty or thirty, but from their fierce eyes, it could be seen that these people must be Tang Feng's most elite group of masters in Xizhou.
Even if it's his personal guard, I'm afraid it may not be
The opponents of these people.
In Tang Feng's mind, he had the same idea as Su Qi'an. When it came to assassinations, attacks and ambush, no matter how many ordinary soldiers there were, it was of no use.
What he can rely on is this group of top killers with reputations in the world.
These killers are all top-notch killers in Xizhou. Tang Feng has been collecting them in Xizhou for three years and paid various costs to obtain their services.
These people were also Tang Feng's trump card for controlling officials of all sizes in Xizhou. Those who were disobedient were silently prevented from seeing the sun the next day by these people during the past three years.
Tang Feng was quite confident about them. If Feng Zheng hadn't shown interest in Su Qi'an and was not in a hurry to kill him, Tang Feng would have chopped Su Qi'an into pieces long ago.
Feng Zheng crossed his arms and looked at Su Qi'an with a curious expression, then said with a smile.
"We really want to know, since Marquis Dongshan knew that entering the city this time was a life-and-death situation, why did he still bring them into the city? Is there any other ulterior purpose?"
"Haha, the eunuch is joking, I don't have any ulterior motives. Before entering the city, I seem to have already said that I will lead the army into the city with only one purpose, to get to the eunuch's side. Then It’s just Mr. Tang’s life.”
Su Qi'an spoke in a very relaxed tone, feeling that killing Tang Feng was as easy as killing a chicken.
Tang Feng had a sneer on his face and couldn't help but say, "Humph, I haven't seen you for a few years. Not only is Dongshan Hou's ambition growing, but his courage is also getting bigger and bigger. He wants the life of this state. Now you, and Are you qualified to say this?"
Su Qi'an turned his eyes and stared at Tang Feng with a kind smile and said, "Master Tang, there is no need to be angry. Didn't I say it before? You will know after you give it a try."
"Since Mr. Tang is so anxious, I will grant Mr. Tang your wish to go on the road."
"Miss Wang, you're welcome, let's do it!"
