Xie Cang's words made everyone present feel the same, and they all shouted in unison, bound to follow Su Qi'an to revive the Great Liang.
Su Qi'an nodded slightly, bowed to everyone, and then said to everyone.
"Everyone, let's go to Dongzhou!"
The next moment, the people who had gathered here quickly returned to their teams and set off one after another towards Dongzhou.
Just as Su Qian was moving with the converging armies, a caravan slowly came towards the outskirts of Kyoto.
There were about twenty or thirty people in this caravan, but among them, they were dragging about a dozen large boxes.
According to the situation of escorting a dozen boxes of goods, the accompanying caravan must have at least seventy or eighty people.
The number of these people is really not matched, but think about it, this is the outskirts of Kyoto, under the emperor's feet, if you want to commit robbery, you have to weigh whether you have the strength.
And along the way, this caravan didn't say a word, and it was rushing the whole way, faster than other caravans, as if they were escorting some valuables.
After the caravan passed through a dense forest, it never came out again, just like the breakthrough disappeared.
At first, those traveling with him didn't care. There were people coming and going on the official road leading to Kyoto City. The caravan entered the forest but did not come out. This was not a big deal.
Either the caravan wanted to take a rest, or it left through other paths. People who are familiar with this forest also know what is going on in the forest, so they are not surprised.
But as time passed, more and more caravans entered the forest. About half an hour later, suddenly, a frightening voice sounded in the woods on the outskirts of the city.
In this forest, a human life occurred, and more than thirty corpses were found, all of which were hidden in a dozen large boxes.
When the news spread, even the city of Kyoto was shocked. Kyoto Prefecture, together with the security forces, quickly took over the woods on the outskirts of the city as quickly as possible.
More than thirty corpses suddenly appeared, and it happened on the outskirts of the city. No one knew whether there was some conspiracy behind this.
For a time, there was a sense of fear in the suburbs, and all kinds of rumors spread everywhere.
Some people say that the disappeared caravan was not a human being, but an agent of the underworld, who was ordered to take some extremely evil people to hell. The corpses in the woods on the outskirts of the city were those who had committed extremely evil crimes. Their souls were taken away, but their bodies were left behind. Come down.
Others said that this caravan was probably disguised as bandits, and they got into a fight because of uneven distribution of the spoils, and finally such a tragedy occurred in the woods.
Anyway, there were all kinds of things, and eventually the rumors became more and more mysterious, and even ghosts and gods were spread.
The Kyoto Prefecture, which took over the woods on the outskirts of the city, finally gave an investigation result after several days of investigation.
The general meaning is similar to what the people guessed. These people are bandits, but they are not bandits near Kyoto City, but bandits from Zhongzhou. They passed through Kyoto City. Due to the uneven distribution of the spoils, they secretly poisoned them, causing this so-called caravan to die tragically in the suburbs. woods.
The remaining winner, in order not to attract attention, hid these partners in a box and ran away along a path with the gold and silver.
Kyoto Prefecture has issued a notice, notifying Zhongzhou to provide clues to hunt down the escaped bandits.
Most of the people believed this statement. Shortly after the announcement was issued, Kyoto City's security forces dispatched 2,000 people to prepare for another round of bandit suppression in order to protect the safety of the people on the outskirts of the city.
If it weren't for internal strife among the bandits, there would be no need to dispatch two thousand security troops. This battle would be too big.
The issuance of the announcement, as time went by, gradually calmed down the panic of the people in the suburbs, and the suburbs gradually returned to their former peace.
Of course, some people believe it, but that doesn’t mean everyone believes it. Some people with keen minds have discovered a problem.
That is, when such a big thing happened in the suburbs of the city, it was reported to the city of Kyoto, and the Kyoto Prefecture was responsible for the entire process. The big and powerful families in Kyoto turned a deaf ear to the matter, as if it did not exist.
It can be said that they have a noble status and there is no need for the so-called internal strife among the bandits to reach their ears. This is correct.
But there is no need for the Kyoto governor, a dignified official of the capital, to intervene in the internal strife among the bandits.
Bar.
And they saw with their own eyes that when the governor of Kyoto saw the bodies of these so-called bandits, his expression changed obviously.
That change was not due to fear, but a kind of shock, with disbelief mixed in with the shock.
It seems to be saying, how could these more than thirty bandits die here?
There is something fishy in it, and they can sense it. With the closure of the case by the governor of Kyoto, there seems to be an invisible force in the city of Kyoto that is strongly promoting the reversal of this matter.
Anyone who discusses this matter on the streets will basically see this person within a few days.
The more this happens, the more strange things are revealed behind it. The only explanation is that these thirty people are not bandits. They are probably people with status, and most of them are related to the powerful families in Kyoto.
Thinking of this, these people could probably guess something in their minds, but they had no intention of saying it out loud and kept silent.
They knew that little civilians like them could not get involved behind this matter. If they were to find out, it was guaranteed that they would disappear in Kyoto City the next day.
The best way is to act like you don't know what's going on and pretend to be dumbfounded, but from a certain point of view, you can kill so many people in one go and leave them in the suburbs of Kyoto in plain sight.
This is a kind of provocation. It is estimated that each of these courtiers are cursing in their own mansions now, but these things have nothing to do with them, they can just watch the show.
This time, these shrewd people really guessed it right. At this time, in the palaces of Kyoto, the powerful nobles and their elders were all yelling at each other at home.
There was even the sound of breaking teacups, and the target of their curses was none other than Su Qi'an, the Marquis of Dongshan who had left not long ago.
After all, the more than thirty people who died were not ordinary people, but elites in their mansion.
In order for this ambush to go smoothly, they spent a lot of money to cooperate with Su Zhe, Su Tai, Zhaohe and Incheon operations.
He sent out most of the top experts to guard his mansion, but the end result was that the whole army was annihilated.
How could this not make them feel bad? It hurt a lot.
It was not only the dignitaries of these aristocratic families who felt pain, but even Su Zhe and Su Tai in the imperial city, their faces darkened the moment they received the news.
What they feel sad about is not only the loss of a real elite, but also the fact that this failure has dealt a heavy blow to them.
In addition to losing an ally in Fusang, it was also a clear warning from Su Qi'an to them.
If you want to send people to attack and kill, you can send people here. Su Qi'an will never be soft and will be rude. He will kill as many as he wants. When they send killers, they have to weigh whether it is worth it.
Su Qi'an's demonstration did have some effect on the two of them, so they had to calm down and postpone the action of sending killers.
After all, even the strongest Wuming and Ba swords in each of their houses were broken, and they were beheaded in such a cruel way. Su Qian's ruthlessness was fully demonstrated at this moment.
At the same time, it was also a declaration to the two of them that they were not that easy to mess with. The entire army on their side was wiped out. Needless to say, this was probably the case on the Showa Incheon side.
Losing more than seventy first-class and above master warriors in one breath is something no one else can bear.
I thought that the entire army in Showa Incheon would be annihilated, and Showa Incheon would also be in trouble.
If this is the case, the two of them can use this matter to directly impeach Su Qi'an.
But one day later, they received a message from Showa Incheon. It said very simply, with only one sentence, "The king has set off. I wish the two princes well and see you soon."
This simple sentence has a hidden meaning. They have severed relations with their allies in Showa and Incheon and have no further contact with them.
Not long after receiving the letter, officials from below also came to report the matter, proving that Showa Incheon was still alive and that the letter was not forged.
Su Qi'an's move really confused the two of them. They didn't know what Su Qi'an meant.
There are obviously such good cards that are not used, but they are just released, and they still send people to protect them.
Come on, what is Su Qian doing? Even they have a hard time judging.
What they can judge is that after letting go like this, they are thinking of taking action against Showa Incheon and setting up a frame-up, which is simply impossible.
Even though the elite around Showa Incheon were all lost, he dared to show up and appear openly in front of various local officials in order to guard against Su Zhe and Su Tai's borrowed knife killings.
The reports of these local officials are the life-saving talisman of Showa Inchon. Who dares to kill him in public? Anyone who dares to take action will get into a lot of trouble in Great Liang. .z.
As for impeachment, there is no way to talk about it. It can be said that not only did they lose completely in the assassination of Su Qi'an, but it was also very difficult for them to fight back.
It was as if he had punched a puddle of cotton so hard, making people feel powerless.
Su Tai, who had a gloomy face, remained silent for a while and said to Su Zhe, "Second brother, this Su Qian is too arrogant. He really thinks we are afraid of him. Take action. He is sending a wave of people. I don't believe it. How many people are there with this kid?" Master."
Su Tai was obviously angry. He was the Prince of Great Liang after all. Su Qi'an's arrangement on the outskirts of the city was no different from slapping him in the face in public.
If he and Su Zhe hadn't given the order in advance and suppressed the matter, if it had spread in Kyoto City, it would have been enough for them to drink a pot.
Unexpectedly, this kid even disgusted them once before leaving.
He is a substitute, and he is also a master of protection. In the end, everyone will be furious.
And Su Tai felt a little uneasy in his heart. He seemed to find that this Su Qian was more difficult to deal with than he thought. Every time he was put to death, it would always bring new surprises to them.
It's so difficult to deal with now. If he lets it go, once the war in Dongzhou is settled, with his military achievements and the troops in hand, it may be difficult for even him to contain him.
Thinking of this, Su Tai's eyes flashed, revealing a bit of gloom, and he suddenly said.
"Second brother, since we can't kill him in a short time, why don't we send people directly to Xizhou, where his relatives and friends are all, we..."
