This carriage is relatively large and can accommodate a dozen people without any problem. It looks relatively simple and simple in appearance, without too many bells and whistles.
The dozen or so guards accompanying him were all simply dressed. From a distance, they looked like a convoy of ordinary merchants, nothing special.
They all had swords in their hands, and there was no dangerous aura about them. They looked like ordinary martial arts masters hired by ordinary merchants.
But as long as you get close, if there is danger, you can feel a very strong murderous aura from them.
That kind of murderous aura is enough to make ordinary masters feel scared and dare not approach him at all.
This is just the surface. The sight is zoomed out and expanded to within a dozen miles in a radius, in places that cannot be seen.
Some black shadows moved forward slowly as the carriage moved. The carriage was like a protected general on a chessboard. A dragnet had been set up around it.
If ordinary people are close to the control area, they will not notice it and will just travel as ordinary merchants.
Only a true master of martial arts would be aware of the dragnet surrounding the carriage.
No matter how many people there are, once they get close and reveal their murderous intentions, there is only one outcome waiting for them, death.
Anyone who can be accompanied by such a first-class master, it is easy to know that he is a big shot. In Xizhou, there will not be more than two or three people with this ability.
Therefore, for the sake of their own lives, the top experts who passed by had fled here as soon as possible.
Compared to the light and depressive surroundings, there was lively laughter coming from inside the carriage.
In the carriage, there were five people sitting, namely Su Qian, Lu Xiaowan, Qin Ziyin, Su Qianqian, and Li Xiaomei.
This trip was the fun trip that Su Qi'an had been preparing for a long time.
In order not to cause a sensation, Su Qian's trip was quite low-key.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that the reopening of Wanggui Trading Company in the county town would attract the attention of the whole city, Qin Ziyin, Lu Xiaowan, and Su Qianqian quietly set out with their family members.
Su Qi'an never liked the excitement. If he really had to stay at Wanggui Trading Company to entertain the congratulatory dignitaries, the sensation would probably be even greater.
When the time comes, Su Qi'an wants to leave secretly, but I'm afraid it won't be possible. Who knows that Su Qi'an's reputation in Xizhou is not as big as usual.
Ever since Luo Qingyuan was invited out of the mountain, he could guess that there was his shadow behind Luo Qingyuan with just a little inquiring and reasoning.
Being able to interact with this famous Zhou Mu, who has disappeared for nearly twenty years, is enough to make families of all sizes quite curious.
Therefore, in order not to affect his travel plan, Su Qi'an deliberately went in the opposite direction on the opening day of the business and took advantage of the crowded flow of people to leave the county smoothly.
On this trip, Su Qi'an was accompanied by three family members, but none of his close friends Su Yong, Song Biao, and Er Meng were with him.
Even the direct team responsible for protecting him was transferred to the outermost by him, responsible for frontline reconnaissance and rearguard work.
It can be said that the only person beside him who can protect him is the seemingly ordinary-looking bodyguard beside him.
In fact, these talents are Su Qian's strongest trump card, the team led by Wang Yan.
Su Qi'an gave them a name, "Team An"
Taken from the third character of Su Qi'an's name.
Loyalty, safety and reliability, these six words are engraved in the bones of Team An.
To become a member of Team An, one must meet extremely high standards in both thinking and strength, and must be absolutely loyal and reliable to Su Qi'an.
Because of this, Su Qi'an entrusted his safety to them.
Su Qi'an naturally had his intention in making this arrangement. Although this trip was just for fun, it did not prevent Su Qi'an from reviewing the counties and counties in Xizhou.
In Su Qian's view, if they want to destabilize Xizhou, the top leaders of Xizhou are not scary. What is really scary is the vast number of people at the bottom of Xizhou.
There are dozens of counties. Only by going deep into the most grassroots counties and seeing the work of local county magistrates with your own eyes can you know whether the policies implemented by the upper levels are fully implemented.
Only by going deep into the grassroots and communicating with the people at the bottom can we know what the people think.
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it." This truth is almost engraved in Su Qian's bones.
So during this trip, Su Qi'an turned into a walking merchant. Compared with the publicity of the direct team with thousands of people around him, it was not as convenient as the personal protection of the An team of more than a dozen people.
Of course, in addition to these arrangements, there was a little surprise beside Su Qian.
That is Li Xiaomei, one of the people in charge of the dark web.
Originally, Su Qi'an did not take Li Xiaomei's thoughts with her during this trip.
After all, the dark web has just been rebuilt, and there are many things that she needs to be responsible for.
Like Qin Huai who is in Xizhou, Qin Wu who travels around the prefectures and counties, Wang Xiaowei who is responsible for protecting Zhou Qi's safety, and Li Hu and Zhao Da who are training to transform into qualified Xizhou soldiers...
They are all working hard at their respective positions. Taking Li Xiaomei away at this time and relying on Shouhou alone will probably be very stressful.
Li Xiaomei didn't say anything about Su Qi'an's worries and directly proved them with her strength.
In the three days before departure, Li Xiaomei collected all the dark web information left in the county and successfully handed over the follow-up work in the county to several shopkeepers of the firm.
This handover is only about the intelligence work within the county. As for the intelligence work outside the county, it will be taken away with Li Xiaomei when she leaves.
She was not the only one traveling this time. There were a lot of hidden piles hidden in the dark around her.
Moreover, she and Shouhou have already said hello, and the hidden stakes in the border counties outside Sichuandu County have also been mobilized.
It is no exaggeration to say that when Su Qian goes to any county, before entering the city, some local information will be transmitted to Li Xiaomei through moving hidden stakes.
In Su Qi'an's words, this is strategizing and winning a thousand miles.
It's just that the price of getting information quickly is a little bit of pain for these hidden stubs who move at any time, keep in touch, and are responsible for transmitting messages.
But one thing is that Li Xiaomei can mobilize these hidden stakes in an orderly manner, which is enough to show her growth in the past few years.
Even though Li Xiaomei is only eighteen or nineteen years old, she is still very prestigious in the dark web.
Those who can enter the dark web are not ordinary people. To be able to deter these restless guys, Li Xiaomei still has some tricks.
Looking at the information coming at any time, Li Xiaomei looked proud and handed it to Su Qi'an.
"Sir, you see, this is my strength, little sister. Humph, little sister, I am not a child who could only cry. In terms of commanding skills, I am not inferior to any man."
Su Qi'an looked at the incoming information, gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile.
"This is because your husband underestimated you. My little sister's strength is not something you can choose. This time, your husband made a mistake. Please don't blame me, little sister."
Hearing Su Qi'an's apology, Li Xiaomei pouted with a proud look on her face.
At this moment, a childish voice sounded, "Hey, sister, I just want to be with dad when I go with you this time. It's a pity that my mother is married to dad. If you accompany me this time, sister, I guess you can only be a light bulb." ”
"Light bulb? What do you mean?" Li Xiaomei came back to her senses and looked at Su Qianqian who spoke with some confusion.
Su Qianqian stretched out her tender pink hand and gestured to come over.
Li Xiaomei listened attentively, and Su Qianqian whispered, "Hey, you want to know? Qianqian won't tell sister, haha, sister is embarrassed by me."
Hearing this, Li Xiaomei immediately regained her childish temperament, hugged Su Qianqian, and fished her fingers in Qianqian's armpits from time to time.
"Okay, Qianqian, you actually put your idea on your sister's head. Let's see how she teaches you. Is it wrong?"
After a while, laughter like silver bells sounded in the carriage, "Hahaha, sister, please forgive me, Qianqiancuo...that's right."
As soon as Li Xiaomei loosened her fingers, Su Qianqian chuckled, broke away immediately, and made a face at Li Xiaomei.
Suddenly, Li Xiaomei caught up with him, and the two of them started fighting again in the carriage.
Seeing the fight like children, Su Qian didn't say anything to stop it.
He looked at Qin Ziyin and Lu Xiaowan with a smile.
"This kid Qianqian is good at everything, but he is too naughty. And my husband, you just told Qianqian a lot of strange terms, and you led Qianqian astray." Lu Xiaowan said with a smile.
"No, having said that, back in Dongshan Village, I seemed to have promised the village chief about my little sister's marriage. Now that I think about it, my little sister is almost old. How about my husband..."
Su Qi'an did not expect Qin Ziyin's sudden words. Fortunately, Su Qi'an responded in time. Before Qin Ziyin could finish speaking, Su Qi'an immediately coughed and quickly changed the subject.
With a straight face, he said seriously to the two people who were immersed in the fight, "Okay, okay, we are still on our way, you two, please stay calm."
When Su Qi'an said this, the two people who were fighting just now separated immediately, showing hey expressions, and made faces at Su Qi'an in unison.
The fight between the two parties subsided, but no one saw Li Xiaomei sitting down. Her little face was slightly red. I don't know if it was caused by the fight just now or for some other reason...
With Su Qi'an's series of preparations, he and Li Xiaomei's hidden stakes were reported at any time.
During this trip, Su Qi'an basically didn't encounter much trouble along the way.
After all, the governance of Xizhou, both internally and externally, is under Luo Qingyuan's control.
Even the army was defended by Su Qi'an's Dongshan Army. If they encountered large-scale riots at this time, it would be Su Qi'an and Luo Qingyuan's dereliction of duty.
Therefore, in the next month, Su Qi'an took his family to visit half of the counties in Xizhou.
Except for the two counties of Hanzhong and Nandu in the north, which are not yet stable, Su Qi'an probably knows about the remaining four counties in Xizhou.
The two counties in the north have just ended the war, and they are strategically important places in Xizhou and the granary of Xizhou.
Under Tang Feng's administration, the looting was very serious, and it was not easy for the two counties to recover quickly. Therefore, in terms of public security, there was a little peace.
But Su Qi'an knew that this matter would not be urgent for a while. As long as the two counties were in hand and insisted on implementing Luo Qingyuan's decree, the recovery of the two counties would be sooner or later.
Overall, this month's trip went relatively smoothly, and I basically got to know the real situation in the counties below.
Next, I will just wait until I return to Xizhou to discuss some specific details with Luo Qingyuan and Xue Musiu to see if it can be more reasonable.
