Chapter 330: A Malicious Visit
The assassination of Su Qi'an spread throughout the six counties of Jiaozhou in less than a day.
The county guards and the local high priests all contacted each other and asked if the other party had arranged this matter.
The answer they can get, they are also confused, if they have this ability, the most important thing is that there is such a tall assassin in their hands, if they don't do it early, where are they waiting until now.
Although the specific details of Su Qi'an's assassination are not clear, the approximate process was learned quickly.
They all sighed at the high skill of this person, not to mention that he had succeeded in it, and he actually retreated under the noses of everyone, this person's strength is definitely first-class.
Their eyes flashed, and they all did one thing, and immediately sent someone to find this powerful female assassin.
If this person can be recruited, it will not be enough to protect them with this skill.
As for whether Su Qi'an is alive or dead, this matter can only be handed over to the Qingcheng County Guard and the High Priest.
This time, the Jiaozhou bandits, the county guards of the rest of the counties, are just cooperating, and the leader behind the scenes is the Qingcheng county guard.
If at this time, they went to visit, at this point in time, it was too suspicious.
If you are targeted, I am afraid that it will cause a commotion.
The matter of the visit is the most suitable for the two of them, and Su Qi'an went out of the county to suppress the bandits, which was proposed by the two.
And there is already a contradiction between them and Su Qi'an, and visiting at this time does not just mean that the two of them are not suspected of being thieves.
An open-minded visit can just clear the suspicion, and as the leader behind the scenes, this visit can grasp first-hand clues.
If Su Qi'an really fell into a state of death, it would really be like divine help, and they could return to clean up Tucheng County with peace of mind.
If Su Qi'an can't die for a while, they can arrange for a backhand, no matter what, they will let Su Qi'an die in Yangliu County.
So this visit, they went to make a reservation.
After deciding, the two immediately made a decision, prepared the carriage, gathered the security army, and immediately went to Yangliu County.
Along the way, the two talked together, although this time it was with divine help, but it didn't mean that they could be careless.
After all, Su Qi'an is in Yangliu County, if it is Qingcheng County, then Su Qi'an is destined to die.
On this trip, he made thorough preparations, this time in addition to bringing 2,000 local soldiers, but also several famous miracle doctors in the county.
These miracle doctors are his real killer weapons, as long as he witnesses Su Qi'an's serious injuries and dying, he can move on to the next step with peace of mind.
If he finds something wrong, he will run away immediately.
For this Marquis Su, the county guard of Qingcheng is still quite jealous, and he has fought with him so many times, and he can't be careless.
Under the rapid whipping of the Qingcheng County Guard, it took them less than half an hour to arrive at Yangliu County.
At this time, Yangliu County had already been under martial law in the whole city, the city gate was closed, and the people in the city were forbidden to enter and leave without Huocheng's order.
And those who wanted to enter the city from outside the city were also repatriated one by one, just to avoid accidents.
Before you arrived, you could see from a distance that there were several groups of soldiers patrolling back and forth on the towering city walls.
And the army led by the Qingcheng County Guard, mighty, was discovered before it approached.
On the city wall, all the patrolling soldiers immediately looked vigilant, and shouted loudly when they were still about half a mile away from everyone.
"Stop when you come, report your name, dare to take a step forward, and there will be no mercy."
All the arrows were aimed at the carriage below, and they would not be relentless if they dared to make any unusual moves.
The rudeness of the soldiers, the Qingcheng county guard did not care, which just shows that Su Qi'an's assassination is true.
Under the arrangement of the Qingcheng County Guard, a soldier stood up and explained loudly.
In fact, looking at the mighty army coming, the soldiers defending the city probably had a judgment in their hearts.
But this time Su Qi'an was assassinated, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and their Huo County Shou was furious, and before leaving, he specially ordered that Su Qi'an must be protected in the County Shoufu
security.
If something happens again, Huo Cheng will be the first one when he comes back, and he will cut off their heads.
Therefore, even if there is a conclusion, it is prudent to go through the inquiry process.
After confirming that the Qingcheng county guard was sitting in the carriage, the soldiers ordered the city gate to be opened.
But before it was opened, the 2,000 soldiers guarding Qingcheng County must all be stationed outside the city, and they are not allowed to step into the city.
If not, don't even think about going into town.
This is Huo Cheng's death order, no matter who comes to visit, even if it is the governor Li Kang, he can't bring troops into the city.
It was an eventful time, and Huo Cheng couldn't afford any accidents, compared to offending other county guards, even Li Kang.
But compared with the crime of protecting the children of the royal family, he can still distinguish which is more serious.
The key is that in his small Yangliu County city, there is not only a Su Qi'an, but also the ninth princess who His Majesty loves the most.
If something goes wrong with these two men in his hands, he has hundreds of heads, which are not enough to cut off.
Huo Cheng's death order made the high priest quite dissatisfied, and he wanted to forcibly enter the city, but was stopped by the Qingcheng county guard.
Huo Cheng dared to give this order, which was enough to show that Su Qi'an's condition was very serious, even to the point of critical illness.
How to say that he is also a royal family, on the surface, he was given up by His Majesty today, and the so-called life and death are fateful.
But this kind of life and death is definitely not the way to die by being assassinated by assassins, what does this look like about the majesty of the Daliang royal family? It's all a slap in the face.
Regardless of whether Su Qi'an dies or not, the more critical this moment, the more they have to abide by the rules.
If he really broke through, he was likely to be held accountable afterwards, and more importantly, as far as he knew, after Huo Cheng had beaten away the siege bandits, he had already ordered the transfer of 2,000 soldiers scattered in various counties of Yangliu County.
At the same time, Su Qi'an's base camp Tucheng County, the troops have also been mobilized, and looking at the direction they are traveling, it is Yangliu County.
In the current city of Yangliu County, if nothing else, there are at least 3,000 people, and if you wait until the defenders of Tucheng County converge, it will reach at least five or six thousand.
If they forcibly enter the city, they are likely to be exterminated, and it is not cost-effective to meet them with their swords and soldiers before they see with their own eyes whether Su Qi'an is alive or dead.
Before the city gate was opened, the Qingcheng county guard ordered 2,000 soldiers to retreat five miles.
After seeing the sincerity of the other party, the soldiers defending the city opened the city gate.
But the gates were not fully opened, leaving only the width of the carriages, and if anything went wrong, they would be closed immediately.
The county guard of Qingcheng did not play any tricks, and entered the city with a few miracle doctors.
As soon as they entered the city, in front of them, there were two groups of soldiers waiting early, and they did not speak, but only made a request.
Standing on both sides of the carriage, escorting the Qingcheng County Guard to the County Guard's Mansion, only when you enter the city can you feel the real situation in the city.
Along the streets, all the shops and houses are closed.
On a street that is only 100 meters away, the Qingcheng County Guard saw more than four teams of soldiers patrolling, and the strictness was staggering.
And the atmosphere in the city gives people a rather serious and tense feeling, which makes people quite depressing.
But the more this is the case, the more the Qingcheng County Guard is happy in his heart, and he and the high priest glanced at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes.
Under the leadership of two teams of soldiers, everyone finally entered the county guard's mansion.
It was not the local county commander and the county lieutenant who went out to greet him, but it was Tucheng County Ling Wu Yong.
Wu Yong's appearance made the two stunned, but they didn't expect that Tucheng County would act so quickly and be ahead of them.
Even a henchman like Wu Yong came forward, and Qingcheng County Shou suddenly thought about it in his heart.
He just glanced at Wu Yong, and said softly, "Wu Yong, lead the way, let this county see what happened to Marquis Su."
After speaking, the Qingcheng County Guard walked directly towards the inner hall wing, but Wu Yong stopped him.
"The kindness of the two adults, Hou Ye understands it, but Hou Ye is injured and needs to recuperate, so it is inconvenient for outsiders to visit, look at the two adults Haihan."
Wu Yong's words made the Qingcheng County Shou quite dissatisfied, what is his identity, what is Wu's identity, and it is good to be able to speak politely to him.
Dare to block the way in front of them, it is really looking for death.
There was no need for the Qingcheng County Shou to say anything, the high priest behind him stepped forward, came to Wu Yong, and said coldly.
"Hmph, Wu Yong, don't be embarrassed, you have a small county order, dare to stop me and the other two officials, and eat the bear's heart and leopard gall."
"Do you really think that if you get the appreciation of Marquis Su, you have no one in your eyes? Kick your nose in the face, according to Da Liang's existing official system, you are still under the jurisdiction of the county guard."
"For the sake of Master Su's face before, I didn't care about you, but now I really think of myself as something? You're just a dog, you dare to talk to two superiors like this, looking for death."
As he spoke, the high priest grabbed Wu Yong's shirt and struck him with a gesture, but the next moment, his fist was grabbed by one person.
No matter how hard he tried, his arm could not fall, and he looked up and saw that the person who stopped him was a young man.
He didn't know this man, he didn't have an official position, and he said coldly, "Who are you? Dare to take charge of this priest!"
"It's just an insignificant civilian, but I just can't get used to your aggressive appearance, that is, in Jiaozhou, you dare to be so rampant, in Kyoto, you don't know how to die."
The high priest's face was pale, he was blocked by a small county order before, and now he was stopped by a cool people, where did he put his face.
Just as the high priest was about to make a big fuss, the Qingcheng County Guard behind him stepped forward and stopped him.
He looked at the young man in front of him, although he was wearing poor clothes, he was definitely not an ordinary person in terms of bearing or conversation, let alone a native of Jiaozhou.
Most of them were from a certain noble family in Kyoto, and the Qingcheng County Guard's eyes flashed, and he said softly, "Dare to ask Your Excellency's name."
"Chen." The young man spat out the word lightly.
Hearing this name, the Qingcheng County Guard obviously thought for a while, and he had some impressions of this name.
It's really from Kyoto.,Offended a bigger big man in Kyoto.,Was raided his house.,Finally exiled to the prisoner of Jiaozhou.,It is said that it looks like his family.,It's a good job.。
There are only a handful of exiles from Kyoto, especially this kind of high-ranking big man, and the Qingcheng county guard still has some concern.
But this kind of attention is limited to the surface, after all, exile from Kyoto to Jiaozhou, there is no possibility of rising at all, and it is good to be able to live well.
As for turning over, it's just a fool's dream.
