Li Kang led his troops to a place less than half a mile away from the county town and stopped, this distance has reached the range of a heavy bow, as long as Su Qi'an is willing, a round of arrows will go down, Li Kang will definitely shoot into a sieve.

But this thought can only be thought about, Li Kang is so disregarding the danger and leading his army to pull out, but it is not a joke, if one is not handled well, it is likely that a big war will break out.

Li Kang's soldiers approached the city, and there was a solemn atmosphere in the air, and the closed city gate slowly opened under Su Qi'an's order.

Su Qi'an rode out of the city gate with the guard company, and stood in front of Li Kang less than three zhang away, his troops were not many, and compared with the tens of thousands of troops behind Li Kang, it seemed very small.

But everyone behind him was not afraid at all, as long as Su Qi'an gave the order, even if there were many people in front of them, it was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, they would not frown.

Looking at Li Kang with a serious expression, Su Qi'an smiled and said, "Lord Zhou Mu, what do you mean by this? Could it be that he wants to attack the county town and start a war with Benhou?"

"Su Hou, what do you mean by coming here, don't you know? Five hundred state soldiers under this state were kidnapped by the so-called bandits on your territory, do you think this state believes it?"

"You and I are both smart people, so Benshu won't go around in circles with you, let's talk about how you plan to give Benshu an explanation for this."

Li Kang made his words clear very bluntly, without giving Su Qi'an any face.

Usually, Li Kang can temporarily turn a blind eye to what Su Qi'an did, but this time, it is completely a slap in the face, and as a state pastor, he must find a way back.

He dared to stab this matter bluntly, and he also had his support in his hands, that is, the soldiers behind him.

If Su Qi'an dares to make a move, there will be more than so many troops next time.

"Hehe, the state pastor's quick words are also in line with Ben Hou's intentions, but the state pastor's ability to fight a rake really opened Ben Hou's eyes."

"Lord Governor, you're right, your 500 subordinates were indeed the work of Benhou, and this is just a lesson for you."

"Since Ben Hou took over Qingcheng County, he doesn't think he has done anything against the laws of Da Liang, but don't you know what you have done this year?"

"Cut off all external connections with Qingcheng County, send some garbage from time to time to infiltrate Qingcheng County to sabotage, and now send grain collectors to forcibly purchase more grain than ever before."

"Ben Hou would like to ask Lord Zhou Mu, whether this Jiaozhou belongs to the Daliang royal family, or is it owned by you alone."

Su Qi'an's voice was cold, but the words were deafening, Li Kang was fine, his face was pale, but the faces of the people behind him changed.

Dare to say this in front of Li Kang, this Su Qi'an is the first person in Jiaozhou.

Even though they knew that the controller of Jiaozhou was Li Kang, they would never make such a mistake in front of everyone.

Su Qi'an did this, which is tantamount to putting the default rules on the table, and lifting the table.

"Su Hou is worthy of being sharp-toothed, Benzhou admires it, listen to Su Hou's meaning, do you want Benzhou to give you an explanation?"

Li Kang stared at Su Qi'an, with a threat in his words.

The already tense situation between the two sides immediately deteriorated.

"Hehe, I can't talk about it, but if Lord Zhou Mu is trying to sneak around like before, Ben Hou will not guarantee next time whether it will be a living person or a corpse that will be returned."

"You!" Li Kang snorted coldly.

was obviously annoyed by Su Qi'an's words, and without waiting for Li Kang to speak, Su Qi'an said again.

"Lord Governor, what Benhou should have said and what he shouldn't have said has been told. Ben Hou has important things to do, and he doesn't have time to continue to accompany the state pastor, if the state minister is not satisfied, he can do it, and Ben Hou will definitely accompany him."

After saying this, Su Qi'an didn't even glance at Li Kang, turned the horse's head and left directly.

Regardless of whether Li Kang would make a sudden move, he returned to the county town with his guards.

Li Kang rode on the horse, his face kept changing, the palm holding the horse rope kept tightening and loosening, loosening and tightening, and the big elder and the three elders behind him did not open their mouths.

When they saw it today, they knew that this Dongshan Marquis was so powerful, and from the conversation with Li Kang just now, they didn't see that they had fallen into the upper hand at all, but they were quite strong.

is not afraid of Li Kang at all, and the last sentence before leaving fully shows that he has the ability to fight with Li Kang.

At this time, it is best to remain silent.

Compared with the silence of the two elders, the state envoy further behind glanced up at Li Kang's back, his eyes turned, and fell on the back of Su Qi'an, who entered the county town.

He shook his head, and quietly turned around and left with his henchmen, this time the confrontation conversation, the state envoy won and lost, the state envoy probably had already guessed, continue to wait, it was not interesting.

Not long after the state envoy left with his people, Li Kang, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.

"Pass the order of this state, and the whole army will return to the city."

After speaking, Li Kang left directly, leaving behind the two elders who breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Kang's withdrawal announced the defeat of this confrontation, but they were a lot more relaxed in their hearts.

Fortunately, this battle has not started for the time being, if it is really done, it may not be Su Qi'an's opponent.

This time, they were not fully prepared, they did not have heavy weapons in their hands, and it was no problem to suppress the bandits, but they really wanted to fight, and in the face of the tall and strong city wall, it was difficult to take it down in a short time.

Qingcheng County, which has been run by Su Qi'an for a year, especially the county seat, is not to mention impregnable, but it is definitely not something that can be easily won by relying on them.

Withdrawing troops is the best way.

The reason why Li Kang came to the county town was not to fight with Su Qi'an, but mostly to prove who was the real boss in the Jiaozhou territory.

If I were someone else, I am afraid that I would have succumbed to Li Kang's threat a long time ago, but today I met Su Qi'an, a hard stubble.

This time he was looking for a scene, Li Kang completely fell into a disadvantage, don't look at today's temporary peaceful ending, but today's dialogue basically angered Li Kang.

The failure to fight today is due to lack of preparation, but Li Kang, who returned to the state city, is afraid that there will be big moves next.

The two patriarchs glanced at each other, and they both saw the precursor of the great war in each other's eyes.

In order to reduce their losses as much as possible in the later battles, the two elders have planned to go back this time, and they will talk to the neutral two elders.

As Li Kang withdrew with his troops, the people on the city wall suddenly erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

After being suppressed by Li Kang for a year, and enduring it for so long, he finally breathed a sigh of relief today.

Su Qi'an, who returned to the city, instructed the soldiers on the city wall to stay vigilant and be ready for the outbreak of a big battle, and then turned around and left.

Some thoughtful soldiers recalled Su Qi'an's words just now, and their eyes flashed with a little excitement.

From the words revealed by Su Qi'an, they could sense that it would not be long before there would be a war between the two sides.

Su Qi'an, who left the city wall, went to the county government and came directly to a room behind the county government.

Since Su Qi'an entered the room, at the door of the room, Su Yong, Song Biao, and Er Meng guarded them, and the three of them were like bodyguards.

His gaze swept around, preventing anyone from entering the room behind him, as if there was some important person in this room.

At this time, in the room, there was a whisper, Su Qi'an was sitting on the chair, and it was none other than Su Fengling, who had disappeared for a long time, standing in front of him.

Since Su Fengling took her subordinate Long Wei to hunt down the mysterious man in black, Su Qi'an hadn't seen her for at least half a year.

Su Fengling's whereabouts, Su Qi'an had already said that as long as he was in his realm and let Su Fengling act, he would not ask.

Su Qi'an gave Su Fengling full respect for "freedom", and similarly, for some of Su Qi'an's actions in Jiaozhou, Su Fengling basically allowed it by default.

This time I interviewed Su Fengling, and Su Qi'an had a big matter to discuss.

Seeing Su Qi'an appear, Su Fengling said, "If you want to bypass Li Kang and snatch the three places in the Jiaozhou Imperial Examination with the power of one county, this palace can support it, but if you do this, it is tantamount to completely angering Li."

Kang, when the time comes, this palace is afraid that you won't be able to stand it, you should know that the quota for the Jiaozhou imperial examination is his reverse scale for Li Kang, and you snatched his place, this matter is not so easy."

"Your Highness is right, as soon as I snatch his place, I'm afraid he will send troops to do something to me, but this is what Su wants to see."

"Today's incident outside the city, I think His Royal Highness also knows that I angered Li Kang and made him suffer a big loss, with Li Kang's temperament, he is sure to hold back some conspiracy, rather than this, it is better to take the initiative."

"I just want to be angry with him, pour a fire, and make things bigger, there will be a battle between me and Li Kang sooner or later, I have been waiting for this battle for two years, and it is time to understand Li Kang."

Su Qi'an said very indifferently, but even so, it still couldn't help but make Su Fengling worried.

This battle was different from any previous battle, and Su Qi'an's opponent was Li Kang, the controller of Jiaozhou.

If you really want to fight, the entire Jiaozhou is afraid that it will be affected, Su Qi'an has been in Qingcheng County for a year for this battle, even if Qingcheng County is not the same as in the past.

But compared with Li Kang, there are still some worries.

"How sure are you in this battle?" Su Fengling asked.

"About fifty-five points."

Su Qi'an's similar general answer, Su Fengling was not satisfied, she turned to look at Su Qi'an with a calm face, was silent for a while, and then said.

"In this battle, this palace will not stop you, but you have to promise that you must live."

Su Fengling's seriousness made Su Qi'an nod heavily, in this battle, he knew that there were too many involved, no matter what the result was, he didn't want to involve Su Fengling.

The reason why he said those words was just a report, not to trouble Su Fengling, if the situation was not right, Su Fengling could also flee under the cover of Long Wei as soon as possible.

But the deeper meaning of this, Su Qi'an did not say, the matter has not yet reached that point, and it is not yet known who will win and who will lose.

At the same time, not long after Li Kang returned to the state city, he continued to target Su Qi'an without waiting for him to prepare the next plan.

A news that Su Qi'an took the initiative to fight back against him then spread to the state capital.
