Lin Huwei's worries were not unreasonable. He had been with the Ninth Princess for many years and he was quite aware of the strength of the two princes.
It is no exaggeration to say that the power of these two people is second only to Su Xuanyong, although on the surface, they do not play much influence in political discussions.
In fact, their words and deeds can completely influence the court ministers.
Such people are the most terrifying. They can kill people without making a move.
Even if Su Qi'an caused such a big battle, the two princes were tricked, but in Kyoto City, the two princes still had the final say. If they took the risk, they would probably not be affected, and at most they would be killed by a few scapegoats. .
The death of the scapegoat will only make the two princes more hostile to Su Qi'an and attack him harder and faster. Su Qi'an's situation will only become more and more dangerous.
Su Fengling stood in front of a window, with her back to Guard Lin, and said in silence for a while.
"Uncle Lin, I also know what you are worried about. I didn't quite understand it at first, but later I understood it."
"Uncle Lin, when facing absolute power and trying to save your life, do you think that if you remain silent, hold back and show weakness, the powerful will feel pity and let you go?"
Lin Huwei shook his head at Su Fengling's words.
"Since you know that showing weakness cannot save your life, what would you do if it were you, Uncle Lin?"
Lin Huwei was startled, but he quickly thought of something, raised his head sharply, his eyes flashed with surprise, then nodded slightly and said softly.
"It turns out that this is because my subordinates didn't think carefully and it was a bit inappropriate."
When facing a powerful person, if you want to survive, you must show your strength. This kind of strength does not directly demand your life from the powerful.
Not to mention that they will die together, but if you send a group of people, I will kill a group of people. I can directly resolve any conspiracy or trick you use.
At the same time, you will strengthen your own strength, and eventually you will not dare to do anything to yourself, and you will be absolutely afraid of yourself.
Even before taking action, you have to think carefully. This is the real way to save your life.
Su Qi'an is not someone else. His journey along the way has never been smooth sailing, but he has gradually grown up under many suppressions, assassinations, and conspiracies.
Such a person, even the current His Majesty dares to express his thoughts, let alone the two princes who have not yet ascended the throne.
No matter what kind of conspiracy the two princes have this time, Su Qi'an will face it calmly. Not only will he break the conspiracy, but he will also leave a deep impression on the two princes.
This was Su Qi'an's behavior until the two princes did not dare to use the knife to subdue them.
After understanding, Lin Huwei didn't say anything more, nodded repeatedly, and then turned and left.
In fact, Su Fengling had one more thing to say, which she did not tell Lin Huwei. The main purpose of Su Qi'an's confrontation was not only to end peace with war, but also to protect herself.
More importantly, it was to buy time for the innocent tenth prince who had not yet grown up in the imperial city.
As the future Emperor of Great Liang and the next successor to the throne, this matter of the Tenth Prince is an absolute secret. No one else knows about it except Su Xuanyong, Su Qi'an and her.
In order to reduce the maximum possible exposure, the three of them have a clear division of labor. Externally, Su Qi'an is specifically responsible for attracting firepower.
Whether he was arrogant or unruly, he was frantically impeached by a group of courtiers. These were all things Su Qian had to do.
Internally, Su Xuanyong was still the same as before, attaching great importance to Su Zhe and Su Tai, and made sure that the two fought in the court to achieve checks and balances and maintain stability.
Su Fengling's task was to place her own people in the harem, silently protect the tenth prince, and find out the spies planted by Su Zhe and Su Tai in the imperial city one by one, and then pull them out.
Su Fengling only found out about this top secret at the last moment. Su Xuanyong did not want to marry her away mainly because there was no one around him who was trustworthy.
In order to keep her upright, a suitable reason that would not arouse suspicion was needed.
Su Qi'an's visit to Beijing and the verbal battle with the court officials were a suitable opportunity.
The subsequent competitions and literary fights in the ring were held as a matter of course.
Su Qi'an proved his ability in this matter and gained Su Xuanyong's trust.
This is why Su Qi'an confessed to Su Fengling in public and wanted to marry Su Fengling. Su Xuanyong was not angry, but secretly supported it.
Su Fengling was really shocked when she learned the reason. She never thought that one day she would be involved in the struggle to seize the right to be the heir.
Moreover, the person in charge is still her father, but as a royal princess, Su Fengling's psychological quality is still acceptable.
She quickly adjusted her mentality and accepted the task of protecting Su Xian without any hesitation.
To be honest, Su Fengling is not interested in her two brothers.
Su Zhe and Su Tai were both scheming and thoughtful. If they were to be princes, they would be qualified, but if they were to be emperors, Su Fengling thought they were unqualified.
Today's Great Liang is not as stable and harmonious as it was a hundred years ago.
What is needed is the master of ZTE, but Su Zhe and Su Tai obviously cannot meet the requirements to ZTE the Great Liang.
Her younger brother Su Xian may not be considered innocent, but he is very transparent and understands everything. More importantly, he has a kind heart towards the people at the bottom.
Such a person is the next suitable prince of Great Liang. Coupled with a few auxiliary ministers, Great Liang will not turn the crisis around, but it will definitely not continue to deteriorate.
Therefore, for the future of Great Liang, Su Fengling naturally knows how to take sides.
At this moment, she also understood Su Qian's great responsibility and difficulties.
Thinking about the last time they met in the imperial city, Su Fengling had a little temper with him.
Instead of being angry, Su Qi'an accepted the order and promised her that she would return her freedom.
Such a man is truly worthy of her and can protect him from wind and rain.
Su Fengling clenched her palms tightly, looking into the distance, as if she had made some kind of determination, and murmured softly.
"Qi'an, don't worry. I'm in the imperial city and I won't let you down. I'll wait for you to come back and marry me."
At this time, in the outside world, under the greetings of a crowd of people, Su Qi'an's carriage arrived at the city gate. Not far from the city gate, the Dongshan and Split Mountain armies were assembled, ready to go out at any time.
Su Qi'an came out of the carriage and faced the crowd of people present, clasping his fists and raising his hands.
The people watching also expressed their blessings from the bottom of their hearts. Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Su Qi'an's carriage slowly drove away from Kyoto City.
Under the overwhelming cheers, no one knew that at another inconspicuous gate in Kyoto City, a fleet of merchants was slowly driving away.
After all, not everyone is so leisurely and joins the procession to see off Su Qi'an.
Some people still have to run for their own livelihoods. After inspection, the fleets of merchants' fleets all passed the interrogation of the city gate soldiers.
After leaving the city gate, the convoy quickly dispersed according to their respective purposes and then drove away.
The few soldiers at the city gate looked away from the convoy. After talking to the people on duty, they took the opportunity to go to the toilet and left the team.
After a while, a few pigeons appeared out of thin air in Kyoto City. These pigeons flapped their wings and flew quickly towards the outside of the city.
It is about sixty or seventy miles outside Kyoto, in a dense forest.
More than a dozen figures in black clothes gathered together. They were motionless, with their eyes slightly closed, like wooden sculptures. If you listened carefully, their breathing seemed to be integrated with the surrounding dense forest.
Time passed minute by minute, and no one knew how long it had passed. Suddenly, a pigeon flew above their heads, and one of the figures trembled and disappeared.
After a moment, his figure appeared again, holding a dove in his hand.
There was a small note tied to the pigeon's leg. He opened the note and scanned it.
Then the man loosened his hand and the pigeon broke free from his hand. He said coldly to the figure in front of him.
"Everyone, the target has appeared and you can take action."
The moment he finished speaking, a dozen men in black in front of him suddenly opened their eyes.
As his eyes opened, a strong murderous aura erupted from his body.
Just from looking at these murderous auras, one can infer that these guys are not ordinary people, they are all top-notch masters, and there are even several top masters among them.
This kind of lineup is very rare when it comes to competitions in the ring. Following the leader, orders are received.
Not long after, the killers who were quietly lurking here disappeared in an instant.
And in front and to the left of them, about forty or fifty miles away, an inconspicuous convoy of merchants was driving slowly.
From leaving Kyoto City to now, the journey has been smooth without any trouble.
Speaking of which, they were able to go so smoothly thanks to the Dongshan and Split Mountain armies stationed on the outskirts of the city some time ago. Read the book
Without their cooperation in the encirclement and suppression, it would be impossible for the caravan to have a smooth journey.
The convoy is driving, and it is estimated that the distance will be more than twenty miles before it reaches the inn along the way, and then it can have a good rest.
Just as the convoy was driving smoothly, an accident happened after about ten miles.
Suddenly, a group of men in black appeared in front of them without warning.
These people are armed with long knives, and you can tell at a glance that they are coming with bad intentions.
When the caravan saw this, it immediately stopped. The escorts accompanying the caravan looked nervous and surrounded the caravan.
The leader of the caravan had seen the scene, and he came forward with a smile on his face and said with a smile.
"I dare to ask you, which road are you on? You all have worked so hard to come all the way. It's not respectful to be so small. I hope you can accept it with your noble hand.
As he prepared to step forward, he wanted to give money to buy his life.
Before the leader had taken a few steps, there was a whoosh, and an arrow came hurtling from the dense forest in the distance.
It was thrust into the ground three inches in front of the leader. This scene shocked the leader.
He took a few steps back and said quickly, "I don't know how I have offended you all. I hope you can let me live."
"Hmph, you didn't offend us, but you offended someone you shouldn't offend. It's time, Marquis Dongshan. There's no need to hide it. Come out. These followers of yours are not qualified to talk to me."
"Stop hiding, let me see how powerful the famous Dongshan Hou is."
