Knowing Su Qi'an well, he knew that Su Qi'an was not someone who would suffer losses. He would never make a move, and once he did, he would definitely leave a deep impression on the other party.
The reason why Su Qi'an looked like he was showing weakness and giving in was because he was actually waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for him to fight back.
I thought this opportunity would take a while, but within a few days, it came to my door.
The inexplicable letter from the Ninth Princess was the opportunity for Su Qi'an to take action.
To be honest, Xie Cang was still skeptical about the Ninth Princess's letter inviting her to the suburbs. After all, at this juncture, the letter came a bit unexpectedly.
But along with the letter came the Ninth Princess's personal earrings. This item greatly reduced Xie Cang's suspicion.
Therefore, they agreed to Su Qi'an's appointment, but they planned to send someone to protect her secretly. Even if Su Qi'an and the Ninth Princess had an old relationship and had a good relationship, they would not let Su Qi'an go alone. It was all for safety reasons.
However, this proposal was rejected by Su Qi'an, and he still went alone, but with a different method of protection.
This time it was not Su Qi'an who went out of the city to attend the appointment, but Tong Zhan who was in disguise. No one could compare to Tong Zhan in disguise.
Especially after following Su Qi'an for about three years, Tong Zhan knew Su Qi'an better than the two mistresses Qin Ziyin and Lu Xiaowan in some aspects.
In addition, he has learned the art of disguise as the Thousand-Faced King in advance, and if he really wants to act it out, standing in front of Xie Cang, it will be difficult to tell the difference for a moment.
Xie Cang didn't interfere when Su Qi'an did this. Su Qi'an had his own logic in doing things and would only tell him when the time came.
Tong Zhan disguised himself as Su Qi'an, and Su Qi'an disguised himself as a coachman, and the two left Kyoto city in a grand manner.
Even if there were still spies around, no one would have guessed that the extremely inconspicuous coachman was the real Su Qian.
But Su Qi'an still had a high opinion of the powerful ministers in Kyoto, and his eyeliners were completely removed. Su Qi'an and Tong Zhan left Kyoto city very smoothly.
The main reason why it went so smoothly was that the plan for his illness was so successful.
These ministers from powerful families all thought that Su Xuanyong was afraid that Su Qian would cause trouble at the banquet, so they had discussed with him in advance a drama to save the royal family's face.
Their idea was correct, but they were half right. The other half was that Su Qi'an could take advantage of the big banquet to leave Kyoto city at will.
After all, most of everyone's eyes were focused on him. The visit of the Fuso delegation at this time relieved him of some pressure.
The fact that she went out of town for this appointment without any pressure showed this.
After leaving the city, Xie Cang basically understood what would happen next. Su Qi'an was one step ahead of him and placed Wang Yan's security team on the outskirts of the city. Tong Zhan's direct team also arrived at the outskirts of the dense forest on the outskirts of the city.
She seemed to be alone, but actually there were countless pairs of eyes staring at her. Later, as Su Qian expected, the person who attended the appointment was not the Ninth Princess at all, but a group of mysterious killers.
Even if these mysterious killers pulled a trick on Su Qi'an, they still underestimated Su Qi'an.
In the scheme within a scheme, there was another serial scheme and a substitute. If this relatively smart man in black robe knew that it was the substitute who had been talking and communicating with him, he would probably vomit blood.
It can be said that from the moment Su Qi'an became ill to the time he went to the outskirts of the city for an appointment, everything was planned by Su Qi'an.
One link led to another, and in the end it became a closed loop. Even Xie Cang finally sorted out Su Qi'an's chain.
Even in the end, Su Qi'an deceived Xie Cang. Not to mention anything else, Su Qi'an insisted on going to the Ninth Princess's invitation, and her sincerity didn't seem like a show.
Xie Cang was afraid that Su Qi'an would be impulsive and be fooled. Now it seems that he was overthinking it.
Su Qi'an didn't believe this invitation from the beginning to the end, so he just used it as a trick. They also saw the final result, which directly attracted these mysterious killers.
Looking at the corpses of about twenty black-clad killers lying on the ground, Xie Cang admired Su Qi'an.
Everything they do is done with ease and every step of the way. These killers are indeed good, but in the hands of Team An and the direct team, they are really not good enough.
Seeing everyone smiling, Su Qian suddenly asked.
"Who do you think are the masters behind these killers? This is the first time I have seen someone so bold and dares to kill someone at the feet of the Emperor."
"Haha, who else can it be? Even if they hide it well, the only people who have grudges against Brother Su in Kyoto are the powerful ministers."
"I think they really can't change their ways of eating shit. Their skin becomes itchy if they are not beaten for three days. It just so happens that this opportunity comes to our door. It's time to make these guys pay the price."
"Yes, these people have been unhappy with you for a long time. Moreover, in the conversation just now, although the man in black robe tried his best to conceal it, he still exposed who the master behind him was. They are these powerful ministers who are unyielding in their evil intentions." Tong Zhan also echoed.
Su Qi'an nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "Well, judging from the current situation, it is very likely that the masterminds behind this are these ministers of the DPRK."
"One thing I don't quite understand is that these ministers should all be attending His Majesty's banquet. At this time, while hosting the banquet, they secretly sent someone to deliberately invite me out of the city in the name of the Ninth Princess, just to kill me. Me, under His Majesty's eyes? If it were you, wouldn't it be a bit too strenuous and seeking death?"
Su Qi'an's words immediately made Xie Cang and Tong Zhan realize that something was wrong. Before they could speak, Su Qi'an continued.
"And among this batch of killers, not to mention the first batch, they are similar to the killers kept in captivity by the ministers of the court, but the latter batch, although they are dressed as Liang people, but with this concealment method, it seems that it is difficult to find them in the Great Liang Such a master."
"I'm curious as to when experts like this who are good at concealing their whereabouts will appear in the Great Liang in droves. This is too exaggerated."
No matter how stupid they were, the two of them still reacted to Su Qian's words, especially Tong Zhan, who seemed to have thought of something and said.
"Sir, you are right. The killer who died just now has been hinting that the masters behind him are a group of people, but he has not said it directly. This person is deliberately tempting us to think in the direction of the minister. Now it seems that this There is indeed a feeling that there is no silver three hundred taels here.”
Su Qi'an nodded and said, "If we follow his direction, we have a grudge against the ministers of the DPRK and China. Regarding this matter, I am afraid that the two sides will be in the same situation. Once a conflict breaks out, both sides are destined to lose. Think about it, when the time comes, Who will benefit in the end?”
"Are...are they those two?" Tong Zhan's eyes flashed and he asked hesitantly.
Su Qian didn't answer, but his playful smile said everything.
"Good guy, I didn't expect this person to be so capable of stirring up trouble before he died, but it's a pity." Tong Zhan sighed.
After being prompted by Su Qian'an, Tong Zhan felt a little more solemn about the dead man in black robe.
Although he did not know this person's name until his death, this person was so sinister and vicious that he ranked among the top three people Tong Zhan had ever seen. If it hadn't been for Su Qi'an's advice, he might have almost found out.
"So this is the reason why Brother Su didn't let Tong Zhan take action to keep this man?" Xie Cang asked.
"That's right, if he were just a killer kept captive by the ministers, he might still be worth killing, but this person is related to those two and can become the killer of those two men. Even if we want to take the opportunity to capture him, he will Try every means to commit suicide."
"Even if we save a breath, it won't be of much use to us. If I can serve those two, I will pick them clean for them."
Xie Cang agreed with Su Qi'an's words. After all, the status and status of those two people were not comparable to those of ordinary ministers.
To put it bluntly, the next Emperor of Great Liang will most likely be one of the two. Being able to serve for him in advance is a supreme honor in itself. Those who can be selected do not need to deliberately brainwash. Loyalty to the two is called a absolute.
Just as Su Qian said, even if you try your best to stay, not only will it not be of any benefit to them, but it might even come back to bite them.
The best option is to watch them die indifferently.
I originally thought that the killer this time was arranged by the ministers of the DPRK, and Xie Cang had long wanted to take the opportunity to cause a scene.
But I didn't expect that the two most powerful princes of Great Liang would be involved in the end. If there was a big commotion, it would probably be quite detrimental to Su Qi'an.
The two princes were still polite to Su Qi'an, even if they were openly polite, but as long as they didn't break up, they would have room for maneuver.
But once this matter is brought out directly, I am afraid that it will encourage the two princes to openly use the ministers of the court to deal with Su Qi'an.
Even if Su Qi'an is trusted by His Majesty, compared with the two princes, he will always be caught doing something unfavorable and make a big fuss. If His Majesty trusts Su Qi'an, if this happens too often, he will still be suspicious.
Since ancient times, it has been deeply trusted by the emperor. It is a double-edged sword. If used well, it will skyrocket, but if it is used well, it will lead to death.
Who would have thought that in a seemingly ordinary killer attack, two princes would be the final masterminds, and the matter would suddenly become complicated and difficult to handle.
Not to mention Xie Cang, everyone present looked tensed, knowing that the situation was serious.
After following Su Qi'an for so long, they have nothing to fear from the two superior princes. As long as Su Qi'an gives the order, they dare to take action against those two people, but now is not the time.
They understand that one move can affect the whole body.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit gloomy, Su Qian suddenly smiled and said, "What the hell, just this little thing, has it become so lifeless? I understand your concerns, yes, I'm not at the point of falling out with those two right now."
"Those two are so powerful that they have to temporarily retreat, but that doesn't mean we don't have any chance. The killers who ambush me this time are more than just those two."
