In this regard, Tang Xiao thought so.

If it weren't for the help of his resourceful father, I'm afraid that some time ago, it would not be Gongsun Bo's father and son who died, but him.

As the son of the state pastor and the dignified son, Tang Xiao walks in the territory of Xizhou, and no one can be respectful in any place, not from above.

only suffered a big loss in Chuandu County, not only failed to keep the Zhou and Wei families, but also invisibly increased Su Qi'an's prestige.

It is impossible to say that Tang Xiao is not angry and does not retaliate.

After returning to Xizhou City, he planned to mobilize people to rectify Su Qi'an, but was stopped by his father.

Tang Feng not only stopped Tang Xiao, but also demanded that Tang Xiao make amends to Su Qi'an, who was about to come to Xizhou City.

Not only that, but he also made the appearance of Corporal Lixian, although Su Qi'an was a little suspicious later, but he relied on Gongsun Yi's divine assistance.

Tang Xiao was injured, this almost perfect bitter trick can be regarded as winning Su Qi'an's trust.

Later, his father was worthy of being scheming, and he didn't wait for Su Qi'an to find him, and took the initiative to attack.

befriended him, borrowed Su Qi'an's hand, and brought down the Gongsun family in one fell swoop.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of His Royal Highness Nine in the end, it would be quite troublesome to bring down the Gongsun family.

Tang Xiao sighed a little, but also a little lucky, fortunately he obeyed Tang Feng's orders and did not make enemies with Su Qi'an.

If he insists on doing so, with the intersection of His Royal Highness the Ninth and Su Qi'an, even if he doesn't die, he will have to bring trouble to his father.

Tang Feng said with a smile, "Xiao'er, do you really think that His Royal Highness Nine came to Xizhou and didn't know for his father? Hehe, I have served as a state pastor for my father for so many years, and there are still some connections in the imperial court."

"It was just with the hands of His Royal Highness Jiu and the hands of Dongshan Bo that the Gongsun family was brought down, and without the checks and balances of the Gongsun family, this Xizhou would be the father sooner or later."

Tang Xiao nodded, with a deep admiration in his eyes, he looked at Tang Feng and asked.

"Father, now that Su Qi'an has gone to Kyoto and left Xizhou, can we do anything with the property under his command?"

Tang Feng shook his head, "Xiao'er, I warned you for my father, if you do anything again, don't act rashly until the last step, our biggest opponent, the Gongsun family, has been eliminated."

"As for the Xue family, a wall grass that sees the wind and steers, then there is no need to worry, which force will be our opponent in the current Xizhou?"

"Since there is no opponent to compete with us in Xizhou, what is the industrial power under Su Qi'an's name?"

"Let the Heilu army scattered in Xizhou continue to lurk, and we will be in Xizhou City, do a fishing duke, and wait for the good news that Su Qi'an was killed by the royal nobles in Kyoto."

"When the time comes, it will be the day when our father and son will completely take control of Xizhou, and we will achieve what we want to do without much effort, wouldn't it be beautiful."

"As a father, the child has been taught." Tang Xiao nodded solemnly with a look of admiration on his face.

At this time, Su Qi'an and the others who left the boundary of Xizhou did not gallop like they did in Xizhou, nor did they have a fanfare.

Instead, they are divided into three groups, pretending to be walking merchants, and the distance between the three groups is no more than ten miles, and between the front and back, there are some wandering eyeliners connected with each other.

This time he went to Kyoto, Su Qi'an would not be stupid enough to be like a gentleman, and he would be flamboyant all the way.

The road from Nishishu to Kyoto is long, and the two sides are at least thousands of miles apart, and there are many difficult paths along the way.

Even if it is an official road, it only occupies three-tenths, and the rest is a remote road.

It is precisely because the road is difficult to walk that it leads to traffic congestion in Xizhou.

If it is placed in peacetime, at most it is necessary to establish a few more post stations to facilitate contact, but once it reaches the end of the dynasty, there may be a series of melees.

In the remote land of Xizhou, the pass can be closed, and only a small number of men and horses can be sent to occupy the main transportation routes, and one side can be divided.

The reason why His Royal Highness Nine came to Xizhou for an unannounced visit, in addition to looking for the so-called Heilu army, on the other hand, was also to give Xizhou ***, some warnings.

If the imperial court

room, from time to time do not send people to visit, over time, these remote states, it is difficult not to have some thoughts.

In the territory of Daliang, in a remote place like Xizhou, there are four or five states, and these places are also sent to the royal family to make secret visits.

It's just that compared to before, the imperial court was able to intimidate its subordinate states with the power of Kyoto alone, and now, the influence of the imperial family is obviously much less than before.

There is no way, only in this way, the visit is beaten.

"It's not as easy as it seems." Su Qi'an sighed a little.

Shaking his head, Su Qi'an quickly removed this thought, now he doesn't have any mind to care about the majesty of the royal family or anything, he can gain a foothold in Kyoto, this is the most important thing at present.

On this journey, he naturally encountered some bandits who were not open-eyed, but Su Qi'an did not stop them, and just took these guys to train the new army.

With the passage of time, half a month passed, and Su Qi'an finally arrived at the center of the imperial court in Daliang, Kyoto.

And during the half-month rush, Su Qi'an didn't know that the bandits who intercepted him along the way gave him the title of killing god. Look at the book

It is no wonder that later, the number of robberies became less and less, and many people fled even before Su Qi'an's arrival.

This effect that is not weaker than in Xizhou is something Su Qi'an did not expect.

But these are no longer important to Su Qi'an.

Looking up, after half a month of hurrying, the city gate of Kyoto appeared in Su Qi'an's sight.

The gate of Kyoto, whether it is in scale or magnanimity, is not comparable to Xishu Castle.

Even if you look at it from a distance, there is a royal aura of dignity and majesty.

There are five gates at the Kyoto City Gate, the main gate in the middle, only the royal nobles, the prince and other real magnates can walk, and the remaining four small gates, according to their respective identities, from high to low, are knights, officials, merchants, and commoners.

It can be said that these five doors confirm your identity in Kyoto.

What identity and what to do, if you don't open your eyes, offend some powerful people, along the side of the street, the corpse that was killed and thrown aside, it is a warning.

This Kyoto is the real division of people into three, six, nine and so on, and this kind of class division is very cruel.

Looking at the stinky corpses along the road, Su Qi'an's face was a little complicated, he sighed, and didn't say anything.

Turning his head and lining up, Su Qi'an did not stand at the door where he was knighted, but stood in front of the door of the lowest civilian.

When he came to Kyoto, Su Qi'an didn't want to pretend to be forced, and with his current status as an earl, he couldn't pass if he wanted to be a gentleman in Kyoto

Daliang Kyoto has gathered the big people who control the greatest power in this empire, and it is no exaggeration to say that when you enter the city, you may see some powerful people on the street.

Not to mention the earl, even if it is a marquis, it is not uncommon in Kyoto, looking at the second door, a rough look, there are at least twenty or thirty people.

Among them, the lowest titles are all viscounts, and there are not a few marquises.

Before establishing a foothold in Kyoto, it is Su Qi'an's consistent style to act in a low-key and cautious manner.

Of course, if there is anyone who doesn't open their eyes, they have to provoke Su Qi'an, and Su Qi'an doesn't mind teaching them a good lesson.

After waiting in a long queue, Su Qi'an finally entered Kyoto, but if he wanted to enter Kyoto, he had to pay a certain amount of silver, called the city entrance fee.

After all, not everyone is eligible to enter Kyoto.

The entrance fee is not charged for every status, and it is specifically aimed at merchants and civilians.

Five taels for businessmen and ten taels for civilians.

Sure enough, in this kind of feudal dynasty, the most ruthless oppression of those in power is only the common people.

The scale of 100 people is enough to pay 1,000 taels, and only Su Qi'an will do this kind of injustice.

After smiling bitterly, Su Qi'an and the others finally stepped into Kyoto, the most prosperous city.

As soon as he walked in, he was greeted by an overwhelming noise, and that feeling was like a gust of wind, which made Su Qi'an almost unstable.

In front of the line of sight, there is a bustling flow of people, full of eyes

It's all human heads, and there's no end in sight.

The streets are very wide, at least forty or fifty meters long, and there are ten streets like this in Kyoto.

On both sides of the street, there are no small vendors, shops, all of them are restaurants, inns, and entertainment places such as spring courtyards.

It's not that Kyoto doesn't have fast vendors and shops, but that they are all planned to be on a different street.

The street in front of him is obviously not for these civilians to consume, and not long after entering the city, most of them flowed, looked at the direction, chose a street, and dispersed.

All of a sudden, Su Qi'an's eyes were empty, and at the end of the line of sight, groups of soldiers in white armor were patrolling back and forth.

These soldiers were not ordinary soldiers, but security forces that maintained order in Kyoto Castle.

The strength of these people is several grades higher than that of the soldiers in the subordinate prefecture cities, and if anyone dares to make trouble in Kyoto, they don't want to live.

The soldiers of the security army, all tall and mighty, walked with a majestic aura, making people dare not approach.

Su Qi'an walked on this high-consumption street, glanced at it, picked an inn at random, and prepared to stay and stay.

But as soon as he walked in, a slightly harsh voice sounded, "Yo, how can everyone be received at Yuelai Inn, and low-class civilians like this deserve to stay here?" It's really unlucky, you people in charge, you don't have anyone to come, drive this group of civilians out."

The one who spoke was a fat man in a splendid robe, with a greasy face, accompanied by several servants.

This person Su Qi'an is a little familiar, he has seen his carriage at the city gate, he is a big merchant family, and his business is in Kyoto, and it seems that he is doing a lot of business.

Su Qi'an remembered that he had just walked through the third door, not the fourth, indicating that this person had some background.

Listening to his master's words, several slaves around him rolled up their sleeves, showed a vicious look, and scolded Su Qi'an.

"Hey, I'm talking about you, an ignorant stinky boy, who was named by my young master, and didn't let Uncle Ben get out, what's the matter, do you want Uncle to ask you out?"

As he spoke, he kicked Su Qi'an hard.
