Chapter 246: Departure, Return to Xizhou
With the fall of this holy decree issued by His Majesty, there is a lot of attention about Su Qi'an in Kyoto, and the shooting of Zheng Liang and the three powerful people has come to an end.
But everyone knows that this matter is over on the surface, but in private, there is an undercurrent.
Su Qi'an was in the imperial city of Kyoto, and it was lively for seven days, and once the seven days passed, what awaited him was endless pursuit.
But Su Qi'an was like no one, and in the next seven days, except for the necessary study in Hanlin Academy, the rest of the time, he walked around Kyoto, where it was lively and lively.
Just like His Majesty's will, in the past seven days, no matter where Su Qi'an went, even if he didn't bring a single guard with him, no one dared to attack him.
Whoever dares to make a move at this time is an affront to the imperial power, and it is absolutely impossible to escape death.
And more, it's like watching a play, don't look at this new Dongshan Hou having such a good time, but his life is short, and it's only been a few days.
Therefore, even those who have grievances, if they think about it a little, it is impossible to have a grudge with this short-lived ghost.
Therefore, in the past seven days, Su Qi'an's days in Kyoto, the fun is called a pleasure.
Uninhibited, casual and free.
The more Su Qi'an looks like this, the more everyone in Kyoto can be sure that this is his carnival before he dies.
Some people watched him come from afar, but they couldn't avoid it, for fear of being unlucky by this short-lived ghost.
Su Qi'an didn't care about these gazes, after all, these people were not standing at the same height as him.
No one bothered, but Su Qi'an was quite chic and comfortable.
Of course, Su Qi'an's chic will still be monitored from afar, and then quickly reported to Zheng Guogong and others.
On the outskirts of Kyoto City, in a high-end restaurant, in a private room, two old men stand at the window, looking at the end of the line of sight, a lively restaurant.
Although the two old men were wearing clothes similar to those of civilians, they knew at a glance that they were of the highest quality.
On the periphery of the private room, there is a group of seemingly ordinary guards, but as long as you look at them, you can know that these people are not simple.
One of the two people standing in front of the window said, "Lao Zheng, I see this kid as he is just dying, with His Majesty's will, we can let it go, I think you don't pay so much attention, when the time comes, this kid is destined to die."
"Hmph, Lao Zhao, what you said is light, my son died tragically in front of me, even if this son is cut with a thousand knives, it is difficult to eliminate the killing intent in my heart."
Zhao Guogong raised his eyebrows and said, "Light, isn't the old man also the pain of losing his grandson, did the old man say something? Is your son's life more precious than my grandson?"
Feeling Zhao Guogong's indignation, Zheng Yuan forcibly suppressed the killing intent towards Su Qi'an in his heart, and hurriedly relieved.
"Lao Zhao, what are you talking about, the old man is not too hateful, he is excited for a while, we all have a common enemy, and we must not fight among ourselves because of this person."
When Zheng Yuan said this, Zhao Guogong's heart eased slightly, and then asked seriously.
"Lao Zheng, what are your plans for this person? It's been four days, and you can't even hide it from me? Isn't it interesting?"
Zheng Yuan was silent for a while, and then said, "Since everything has been said about this, I don't need to hide it from you."
"After the seven days, Su Qi'an left Kyoto, except for the killer we arranged, the old man had already greeted him in Xizhou."
"This time, even if Su Qi'an escapes our pursuit by taking shit luck, but he can run away from the monk, he can't run away from the temple, and he can't kill him, I have to let him feel the pain of losing his relatives."
Zhao Guogong was obviously shocked by Zheng Yuan's words, not surprised by Zheng Yuan's arrangement, but in Xizhou, such a remote place.
Zheng Yuan's tentacles can reach so far? How terrible is the force behind this?
Looking at Zhao Guogong's surprised expression, Zheng Yuan hurriedly explained, "It's not that my sphere of influence extends far, it's just that the one from Xizhou has some connections in the early years."
"It's just a personal favor, this time Su Qi'an returns to Xizhou, he will definitely die!"
Zhao Guogong nodded, looking approving, and the two of them were in the private room
Du chatted, and after a while, he left the private room one after the other.
It's just that before Zhao Guogong left, he didn't notice that Zheng Yuan's flashing gaze contained a little shadow.
As time passed, the seven days passed quickly, and in the imperial city, everyone's eyes were staring at the Hanlin Academy.
And many people in Kyoto were also staring at the passage where Su Qi'an left.
Su Qi'an's departure from Kyoto, his time and distance, he couldn't fake it, it had already exploded in advance, and everyone was waiting.
Su Qi'an left this time, with only more than 60 people and horses brought with him when he entered Beijing, the new army, and so on.
Of the remaining forty people, Su Qi'an did not take them away, but continued to protect Sun Wen, Liu Meng, and Xu Tangtang.
Knowing that Su Qi'an was leaving, the three of them had to follow, and they also knew how much risk Su Qi'an would have to take along the way when he left Kyoto.
Even if they can't help, they don't want to see Su Qi'an die.
But Su Qi'an still persuaded the three of them, after all, the three of them did a good job in Laixinglou in Kyoto.
If they all follow Su Qi'an to evacuate, then Kyoto will really not have a little of his eyeliner.
Originally, in Kyoto, the relationship between Sun Wen and him was not clear to outsiders, let alone that Laixinglou was Su Qi'an's stronghold hidden in Kyoto.
For this stronghold, Su Qi'an was unwilling to give up, and before leaving, he had already greeted his master and took care of Xu Tangtang for him.
After all, Su Qi'an's future is full of danger when he returns to his hometown this time, and he doesn't want to see Lao Xu's only sister in danger.
With the care of the master, Sun Wen and Liu Meng also have an extra layer of protection.
Although the three of them were very unwilling, they could also understand Su Qi'an's good intentions.
But there are too few guards around Su Qi'an, and they are not at ease by relying on the new army alone. ap.
In seven days, Sun Wen forcibly gathered a team of more than 200 guards to protect Su Qi'an's safety.
Although the strength of these 200 or so people is not as good as that of the new army, they are better because they are more numerous, and they can cooperate with each other.
For Sun Wen's kindness, Su Qi'an did not refuse, and fully accepted the two hundred guards.
With his current title, he is officially a marquis, and he can have an army of his own.
Not to mention more than 200 people, as long as Su Qi'an is willing, it will not be a problem to get an army of thousands of people.
But the strange thing is that even if Su Qi'an leaves, there is no army by his side.
This doubt can be easily explained, and the possession of an army requires His Majesty's approval.
It is estimated that His Majesty also saw Su Qi'an's command ability, and he would be a little jealous, so he did not approve the army to give it to him.
This explanation makes sense for a group of powerful people, and the more His Majesty does this, the more exciting it is for them.
After saying goodbye to the people of the Hanlin Academy, Su Qi'an left the imperial city with two hundred guards and walked towards Kyoto.
Not long after leaving the imperial city, a group of about 100 forbidden troops waited for Su Qi'an for a long time.
Seeing Su Qi'an coming, one of the generals led by him said loudly, "We will follow the order of Your Majesty to transfer the order of Chu Zaifu to escort the Marquis of Dongshan and leave Kyoto."
The leader of the general spoke very loudly, as if he had deliberately said it to the onlookers around him.
Su Qi'an nodded and asked the generals of the forbidden army to lead the way.
Together with this forbidden army, at least more than 300 people, they walked on the main roads of Kyoto.
The people watching around avoided one after another, feeling the scale in front of them, not to mention anything else, just this momentum of personal escort.
It is rare in Kyoto, and Higashiyamahou is the first.
But alas, this scenery is fleeting after all, and when they leave Kyoto City, these forbidden troops will return.
The road behind has to rely on this Dongshan Hou to go by himself.
The vast crowd slowly walked towards the Kyoto City Gate, and at this time, it was far away in a palace in the Imperial City in the rear.
The ninth princess was dressed in a phoenix robe, standing in a garden, she looked ahead,
That direction, the direction in which Su Qi'an officially left.
After a while, behind her, a figure appeared, he was half-kneeling on the ground, his face full of respect.
At this time, the ninth princess spoke, "Uncle Lin, I'm going to trouble you this time, Su Qi'an can't die!" No matter what, he must be safely returned to Western State."
"Subordinates obey." Lin Guard spoke respectfully.
But after a while, Guard Lin's voice sounded again, "Your Highness the Nine, my subordinates still want to remind you of something, Your Highness, if you do this, Your Majesty is afraid that it will be difficult to explain."
"Dongshan Hou is a talent, but is it worth His Highness to fight for him so much?"
The ninth princess nodded, without the slightest regret in her eyes, but was very resolute and said softly.
"Uncle Lin, on my father's side, I will explain myself, so you don't have to worry about it, you just need to ensure Su Qi'an's safety."
The nine princesses said so, but Guard Lin didn't say much, and quickly turned around and disappeared.
The Ninth Princess standing in the garden was silent, and then murmured softly, "Su Qi'an, you must not let me down, for your sake, this palace almost broke with my father, you must live, I look forward to the day you return to Kyoto."
The marching team quickly walked out of the gate of Kyoto, and the escorted forbidden army, after walking forward for two or three miles, led the general of the forbidden army, and saluted respectfully to Su Qi'an.
In the end, only two words came out of his mouth, "Take care!"
Su Qi'an also returned the salute, and then watched the forbidden army leave.
For Su Qi'an, the forbidden army still admires it very much, the previous battle of Kyoto, the battle he commanded, it was called a beautiful fight.
And the treatment of his soldiers is quite good, the rewards and punishments are clear, and even for the brothers who died in battle, they dared to shoot Zheng Liang and other three powerful people who violated military discipline in front of them to prove the code.
Such a commander, commander-in-chief, who does not love.
It's a pity that they have to obey His Majesty's orders after all, and they can only watch one excellent general die tragically at any time.
Seeing the forbidden army leave, Su Qi'an suddenly said loudly to the people beside him.
"I don't need to say more, you should know how dangerous it is ahead, and if you follow me, you will die."
"Now, Ben Hou will give you a chance to live, if you are afraid, you can go directly, Ben Hou will definitely not embarrass you."
"We won't go, we're not afraid, and we'll swear to protect Dongshan Hou to the death."
"Live and die together, never retreat!"
Su Qi'an's voice fell, and in an instant, two hundred guards burst out in unison with an earth-shattering voice, and even Kyoto City, a few miles away, could feel its high emotions.
