Chapter 348: Ambush, Fierce Battle
Su Qi'an took the guard company into the city, and this time the place they went to was the county guard's mansion, which should be the county capital where Su Qi'an entered the county town for the first time.
Listening to his subordinates, the county government of Qingcheng County, in terms of luxury, should be the first among the six counties.
Traveling all the way, there is one thing to say, this state envoy does have some skills, with the withdrawal of people and horses from both sides out of the city, the order in the city, under the 2,000 state soldiers, is well managed, and there is no opportunity to make trouble.
The location of the county seat is at the rear of the county seat, bypassing the square square, and you will arrive.
Only after seeing it with your own eyes can you understand why Qingcheng County is the first of the six counties.
Good guy, from a distance, where is this mansion, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a palace, covering an area of at least two hundred zhang.
The county hall is divided into three pieces from the outside to the inside, the front is the courtyard of the courtyard, the middle is the temple as high as six or seven zhang, the height has caught up with the city gate, and the last is a side room for resting everywhere.
The whole mansion, especially the tallest hall in the middle, is very luxurious.
The courtyard city wall and even the construction of the temple are made of blue bricks and tiles and nanmu.
You must know that this is Jiaozhou, bricks and tiles, Nanmu, in this territory is a rare commodity, not that it is impossible to get, but to spend a high price and transport it from outside the state.
This magnificent and luxurious mansion is a special irony compared to the surrounding mud houses and bamboo houses.
No wonder Su Yong and Tong Zhan were able to envelop more than half of the low-level civilians in the county in five months.
In this luxurious mansion, there are not many people's fat and ointment, and compared with Yangliu County, which pays taxes and grain every year, it is really ashamed of itself.
This is just what Su Qi'an has seen, and more things he hasn't seen, he must not squeeze the people of the county to death.
Don't talk about Su Qi'an, if you are anyone, if you are kind to the people at the bottom, I am afraid you can follow and echo.
Water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat, this truth, Qingcheng County Shou does not understand at all.
Su Qi'an shook his head and led everyone towards the county mansion, but as soon as he approached the gate, he was immediately stopped by the state soldiers guarding the mansion.
It was not that they would not let them go, but they had the conditions, and on the orders of the state envoy, those who entered the county government were limited to five people, so as to prevent anger and fight in the county government.
This is not aimed at Su Qi'an, but without discrimination, on the other side, earlier than Su Qi'an entered the county government, he brought more than a dozen people, only a few people, and the rest were all waiting at the gate of the county government.
It's funny to say, the dignified county guard is actually restricted from bringing people into his mansion, there is no way, who makes it now, the state envoy is the biggest.
Su Qi'an didn't say anything, he definitely wouldn't get along with the state soldiers, and they were also acting on orders.
Su Qi'an ordered the guards to stand by on the spot, and only brought Tong Zhan, Su Yong, and Song Biao.
With these three people, Su Qi'an has some confidence in his heart, not to mention that three people are one against ten, but it is difficult for three or five people to get close to them.
The door of the county government opened, and the four of them walked into the courtyard, the scale of the courtyard was very large, there was everything in it, like a small garden, if it wasn't for someone to lead the way, it is not an exaggeration to say that Su Qi'an would have to get lost.
There are so many kinds of vegetation and flowers that there are so many that you can't see them.
Under the guidance of the state soldiers in the palace, Su Qi'an and the four of them walked through the courtyard and finally came to the middle palace palace.
The palace occupies a large area, not to mention the Kyoto Imperial Castle, but it is not comparable to other prefectures.
In the palace, there are six stout vermilion pillars on both sides of the palace, looking up, the middle position above the head is empty, about twenty or thirty square meters in size, you can see the outside sky at a glance, more accurately the starry sky.
Around the bottom, the prepared long table has already been placed, and directly above it, is the Nanmu long table, but the position above is empty, and that position should be the position of the Qingcheng County Guard.
It's just that because of the arrival of the state envoy, the Qingcheng county guard can only succumb to the bottom.
The open space with carpets in the middle is mostly for singers and dancers.
Don't think about it, usually, this Qingcheng county guard, I'm afraid that he has a lot of banquets in the county government and arches himself for entertainment.
This level of extravagance, no wonder Qingcheng County is reluctant to leave, and there is no one in his own county
Tube, you have the final say.
Singing and dancing are leveling, making people linger, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a proper soil emperor.
It's a pity that everything was completely broken with the arrival of Su Qi'an.
Su Qi'an and the four of them entered the palace, and there were only four people in the palace, not to mention the state envoy, the Qingcheng county guard and the high priest did not come.
And the state soldiers who led the way, after completing the task, retreated early.
Su Qi'an and the four of them stood in the center of the hall, a sense of danger came to them, Su Qi'an's eyes met with the three of them, and the three of them nodded, instantly understanding.
With his palm unconsciously on his waist, Su Qi'an stepped out, looked at the empty position in front of him, and said loudly.
"Let Ben Hou come here, your purpose has been achieved, show up, it is impossible to lay out the people, don't even have this bit of guts, let Ben Hou see, who is so bold."
The clear voice echoed in the hall, and after a while, a laugh sounded, and then in the corner on the right side of the top, the Qingcheng county guard and the high priest walked out.
He appeared with a large number of axemen who were ambushed on both sides of the temple.
"Haha, this county just said that Hou Ye Su is incomparably smart, no matter what kind of ambush, Hou Ye can see through it, I really admire it."
"But this county is very curious, since the Hou Ye has seen through, why does he dare to bring a few people to the appointment, is it because he is bold? Hahaha."
The two of them laughed proudly, this time they are the real sure winners, Su Qi'an is only four people, for this ambush, he dispatched at least seventy or eighty people.
All of them are good, in order to be foolproof, when Su Qi'an and they stepped into the palace, the gate of the palace was closed.
This door is made of material, but it is a metal iron door, and if you want to open it, there are only two ways, one is from the inside, and it takes ten people to open the deadbolt, and the other is to blow it up with black powder.
In the former, it is impossible for the Qingcheng County Guard to give Su Qi'an this opportunity, and the latter, the preciousness of this black powder, even if it is the Qingcheng County Guard, he only got some and made a few black fire beads.
As for Su Qi'an, even if he had black powder in his hand, if he wanted to blow up the iron door, Su Qi'an wouldn't be able to get that amount at all.
After dealing with Su Qi'an for so long, the county guard of Qingcheng still knew Su Qi'an, if there was such a scale of black powder, he would have done it to himself a long time ago.
Where is it necessary to grind and chirp like now, and the previous fierce battles still need to be filled with human lives?
The idea of the Qingcheng county guard was right, Su Qi'an did not have a sufficient amount of black powder in his hands, and some only had the yellow powder he made, that is, high explosives.
This power is more powerful than black powder, but before Su Qi'an left Xizhou and came to the boundary of Jiaozhou, he left all the remaining high explosives to Qin Ziyin and Lu Xiaowan.
The risk of them staying in Xizhou is far greater than that of Su Qi'an in Jiaozhou, it can be said that they are acting under Tang Feng's nose, there is no hard guy in his hands, and it is difficult to get out of danger when he encounters danger.
Originally, there was not much stock of high explosives, so it was better to leave it to them than to take some of it away, at least it would be safer.
Although he was surrounded, Su Qi'an did not show a panicked look, he had been in Daliang for so long, and Su Qi'an had encountered a lot of dangers, even dangers.
has experienced a lot of things, even if Su Qi'an is in a desperate situation, it is impossible to be like the cowardice of the Qingcheng County Guard, and his legs are weak and trembling with fright.
This is the shame of him as a marquis, leading troops to fight.
He looked at the two of them who were a little proud, and said, "You really guessed wrong this time, if Ben Hou had known about your ambush, there would have been more than one person entering the palace."
"You can appear here, gather ambush men, and let the state soldiers in the city listen to you, presumably the state envoys are either with you or controlled by you."
"That's right, this county really wants the state envoy to join us, but unfortunately, this person is too self-righteous, thinking that if you discuss with me and the two of you, you can get things done."
"Hmph, what kind of thing is he, it's just relying on the power given by the state pastor to show off his might."
"This county has been running the state city for so many years, just a few words, what kind of joke do you want to transfer this county away."
"To please you,
Take the two of us as scapegoats, hmph, since he is unkind, don't blame the county for being unjust, don't worry, the state envoy still has a breath of air in the county, after all, to mobilize the state soldiers outside, you still need his token and fingerprint." Look at the book
"But after dealing with you, he will soon reunite with you underground, and the county will be very kind, and on the Yellow Springs Road, let the two of you be company."
"The surname is Su, it's no wonder this county, whoever persecuted you too hard, if you want to blame, blame you for being too conceited!"
"Do it, hack Su Qi'an to death!"
With an order, seventy or eighty sword and axe men directly surrounded Su Qi'an.
In order not to cause too much movement and make outsiders suspicious, these seventy or eighty people, all armed with knives and axes, wanted to slash Su Qi'an to death in the palace.
Looking at the people who came around, Su Qi'an did not have the slightest fear on his face, and showed more warlike intent.
How long has it been, since he led the troops to command, this feeling of hand-to-hand combat, Su Qi'an hasn't tried it for a long time.
Everyone knows that he is a sharpshooter, but how many people know that he is also very good at melee combat.
Tong Zhan's evaluation of Su Qi'an is not a joke.
Su Qi'an took out three iron rods from his waist, quickly assembled them, and connected them to the top of the head, and the six-inch gun head leaked out with cold light.
This detachable three-cut spear was also tailor-made for Su Qi'an by the R&D department.
Compared with knives and arrows in melee combat, Su Qi'an used spears the most.
In his previous life, in addition to being a professional first-class archer, he was also an excellent martial arts athlete.
Tong Zhan's evaluation of him at the beginning, melee four or six open, is not for nothing.
Su Qi'an's spear appeared, and Tong Zhan, Su Yong, and Song Biao behind him were also holding swords.
"Hehe, it's been a long time since I've moved my muscles, and it's a blessing to be able to play with my husband today."
"I have long heard that Brother Tong's strength is the first in the Dongshan Army, and then let's compare, which is stronger and which is weaker." Song Biao looked at the knife and axe hands surrounding him, and his eyes flashed.
"Okay, I'm happy to accompany you." Tong Zhan laughed.
The next moment, under the shocked gaze of the Qingcheng County Guard, the four of them took the lead in attacking the sword and axe hand in front of them.
The two sides fought fiercely together in an instant, and in the entire palace, blood and flesh suddenly flew sideways, and blood was filled.
