Looking at this scene, the man in black robe looked obviously displeased. He shouted, "Why are you still standing there? Do you want to die?"
"It's not that they want to die, it's that they are already dead. What are you screaming about? Will dead people still listen to you?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded among several people. The voice was very familiar, and it was obviously coming from Su Qian in the middle.
The man in black robe suddenly raised his head, with a look of surprise in his eyes. The next moment, his body exploded, and he finally realized that he had fallen into a trap.
The so-called Su Qi'an came alone, was fooled, was frightened, and finally retreated. All of this was deliberately staged by Su Qi'an for him to see.
As early as he stepped into the dense forest path ahead, the smell of blood in the air made him consciously aware that something was wrong, but when he saw Su Qian's broken clothes hanging on the branches along the way, he didn't think much about it.
But it was this small oversight that caused him to fall into Su Qian's trap.
After realizing that he had been caught in the trap, the man in black robe didn't even think about it. He immediately retreated quickly. As long as he entered the dense forest behind him, he still had a chance to escape due to the complex terrain in the dense forest.
The idea was good, but Su Qi'an didn't give him this chance. When the man in black robe just took action, Su Qi'an's cold voice sounded in his ears.
"Isn't it a little late to leave now?"
Suddenly, more than a dozen figures rushed out of the dark woods in all directions. The men in black robes had a fierce look in their eyes and wanted to resist.
But they only fought for two or three rounds, and they were no match for a dozen people. They were captured on the spot and pressed directly in front of Su Qi'an.
At this time, Su Qi'an stood upright. The man in black who had been clinging to him just now was lying directly on the ground. Judging from the scars on their bodies, they had just died, and they were killed with a knife.
The man in black robe was escorted, and the black robe on his head was taken off, revealing the face of an ordinary middle-aged man.
No one knows this person, but judging from his strength just now, looking at Kyoto City, he can be ranked high.
But being so unknown, there are only two possibilities. One is that this person is a hermit, very low-key, and the other is that he is a master kept in captivity in the mansion of a certain big shot, specially used to handle some dirty work.
This person has a clear goal, which is to kill Su Qi'an, so the second possibility is very high.
Even though the man in black robe was controlled, his eyes were still full of fierceness. As long as he let go, this man would definitely rise up and kill Su Qi'an at all costs.
"I think if I asked you what your name is and who is the mastermind behind it, you wouldn't be able to tell me."
Hearing Su Qian's question, the controlled man in black laughed.
"Hmph, Marquis Dongshan is a smart man. Since you know this, why bother? I'm the one who caused this today. If you want to kill or behead him, it's up to you."
The man in black robe was so neat and tidy that Su Qi'an expected him. He nodded, looked around as if he was looking for something, and said softly.
"Well, I am not interested in your identity, but a person like you who dares to accept the task of assassinating me must be determined to die. It is useless to say anything more."
"But I am a little strange. A person who is determined to die is willing to be arrested. Tell me what such people are thinking."
The black-robed man's eyes flashed, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his indifferent face. Before Su Qian could speak, he shouted loudly.
"This is such a good time, take action! Kill Su Qian!"
The voice of the man in black robe was high-pitched, carrying a strong command, and the voice spread. The dark forest around him seemed to be blown by the wind, the leaves rustled, and the sound of a figure approaching quickly could be faintly heard.
Upon hearing this, the man in black robe had a look of pride on his rough face, and he laughed.
"Haha, Su, don't think you're the only one who has an ambush. You didn't expect that my ambush was a trap, just to force you all to show up. Haha, just wait for death."
The man in black robe's laughter spread, and he looked at Su Qi'an as if he were looking at a dead person.
He admitted that his behavior just now was a bit imprudent, but this imprudence was precisely a situation he deliberately set up.
In order to prevent Su Qi'an from having any back-ups, he deliberately put himself in danger and forced out all Su Qi-an's back-ups.
In this way, he can achieve the final victory. Of course, this round cannot be accomplished by just relying on his people.
Instead, he received help from another group of people, and he considered himself no match for them in concealing his whereabouts.
Looking at the entire Great Liang, in terms of concealment, if you want to find someone who can compete, there will definitely be no more than one finger.
He was very confident that Su Qi'an was definitely not one of those people.
Su Qi'an was indifferent to the wild laughter of the man in black robes. After a while, the rustling stopped, and around Su Qi'an, more than a dozen mysterious men in black appeared out of thin air.
Just by standing casually, they gave people a strong killing intent. Seeing these people appear, the man in black robe urged them.
"Why are you still standing there? Do it quickly. If this task cannot be completed, you won't be able to go back and explain!"
But the order given by the man in black this time was the same as before, but these men in black remained indifferent.
The man in black was startled, the smile on his face faded, and he stared at the man in black in front of him.
After careful inspection, he finally realized something. With a look of shock in his eyes, he looked at Su Qian with a smile on his face and said in surprise.
"Could it be that they have already..."
Before they finished speaking, the bodies of the dozen or so men in black trembled, and then they fell to the ground instantly as if they had lost their strength.
After falling to the ground, a group of mysterious people also dressed in black appeared inexplicably behind the man in black.
Feeling the aura emanating from their bodies, the cold murderous intent that just emitted was coming from them.
Looking at this scene, the man in black no longer looked as arrogant as before, and his eyes were not only shocked but also a little dull.
He knew very well the strength of those who fell to the ground and died. Although they were not Liangren, the man in black robe had fought with them before setting off, although his strength was not the best.
But the key point is that they have extremely strong concealment methods. This kind of concealment is completely like a proper assassination master. Even the top masters of Great Liang may be killed by their hands if they are not careful.
But just like this group of masters, they died quietly under his eyes.
This scene shocked him so much that he couldn't recover for a long time.
"So, this is the reason why you are determined to die but don't want to die. It's a pity that these things you rely on seem to be a bit useless and let you down."
Su Qi'an's voice rang in his ears, and he came back to his senses. His eyes were fixed on Su Qi'an. There was no fierceness in his eyes before, but a slight admiration.
He said coldly, "This time, I lost. It can be said to be a complete defeat. Dongshan Hou, you are just like the rumors. You should not be underestimated. I didn't expect that my sophisticated layout would fall short in the end. I surrendered." "
"But don't be complacent, Marquis Dongshan. This time is just an appetizer. You have offended so many people, and you will die sooner or later. I will take the first step and wait for you below. Su Qian, I will wait for you!"
After saying this, the man in black robe stiffened, with a look of pain on his face. Suddenly, black blood oozed from the corners of his mouth. After struggling for a while, his body fell to the ground, but after death, he was full of blood. He looked at Su Qi'an with unwilling eyes.
It was as if she wanted to remember him, to remember him to her core.
The man in black robe bit him to death with poison. Su Qian had no intention of stopping him and just watched silently.
Not long after the man in black robe died, Su Qian, standing in front of him, suddenly shook his head and said softly.
"This guy is pretty smart, but unfortunately, he's not smart enough."
When the voice came out, if you listened carefully, it was not Su Qi'an's voice at all. Then, Su Qi'an stretched out his palm and touched his cheek.
With a slight exertion of his fingers, a piece of skin was pulled off by him, revealing a familiar face.
This person is not Su Qian, he is clearly Tong Zhan.
Who would have thought that the person who had been talking to the man in black robe would be Tong Zhan.
In terms of words, deeds, and actions, Tong Zhan's imitation was so lifelike that this black-robed man with considerable experience in the world of martial arts could not tell that the Su Qi'an in front of him was a fake and a stand-in.
Everyone around Tong Zhan was very calm and seemed to be aware of Tong Zhan's actions. Not long after Tong Zhan tore off his face, he seemed to sense something, then he clasped his fists and said to the darkness on the right.
"I pay my respects to Mr. Marquis, Mr. Marquis. I am glad that I have lived up to the task that Mr. Sir has given me."
Following his gaze, in the darkness on the right, Su Qi'an and Xie Cang were walking slowly, followed by a group of black-armored soldiers.
Each black-armored soldier held a torch high in his hand. If you look carefully, you will find that the originally dark surroundings are lit up with fiery red lights as Su Qi'an appears.
Su Qian stepped forward, patted Tong Zhan on the shoulder and said, "Well, you did a good job on this."
Then he looked at the dead men in black around him and said, "I didn't expect these people to be so evil. They really dare to attack me at the feet of the Emperor."
"But speaking of it, I really want to thank them for such a great gift."
"Haha, no, since these guys can't keep their temper and take action, it's our turn to fight back." Xie Cang laughed on the side, with bursts of excitement in his eyes. Like this, lest the world Not messy.
After all, from the time he followed Su Qi'an to the capital until now, what happened during this period can only be described in two words to Xie Cang: "aggrieved."
Although Su Qi'an is now famous in Kyoto, no one seems to take action against him, but His Majesty is supporting him behind the scenes.
Suppression cannot be done openly, but disgusting things are common in private.
Su Qi'an's clothes were not in line with the etiquette, and his travel standards were too small. The servants of the Hou Mansion were plotted and maliciously picked on, thus slandering Su Qi'an and his lack of strict discipline on the servants.
Although the punishment was not severe, it was disgusting. If Su Qi'an hadn't stopped him, he would have argued with these officials.
Su Qi'an accepted all these criticisms and stayed behind closed doors. Everyone in Kyoto thought that Su Qi'an had given in and hid because he couldn't afford to offend him. Even Xie Cang thought so at the beginning.
Until a few days ago, when the Fuso delegation came to Beijing and Su Qi'an did not attend due to physical illness, and the inexplicable invitation from the Ninth Princess came, Xie Cang knew that Su Qi'an, who had always kept a low profile, was about to take action.
