Chapter 574: Ambush
Lin Huwei's worries are not unreasonable, he has followed the Ninth Princess for many years, and he is still relatively clear about the strength of the two princes.
The rights of these two people, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are second only to Su Xuanyong, although on the surface, the two of them did not play much in the discussion of politics.
In fact, the words and deeds of the two of them can completely influence the ministers of the court.
Such a person is the most terrifying, and if he is quiet, he can put people to death.
Su Qi'an made such a big battle, even if he yin the two princes, but in Kyoto City, the two princes still have the final say, and if they take the risk, it is likely that they will not be able to involve the two of them, and at most a few scapegoats will die.
The scapegoat is dead, and the two princes will only be more hostile to Su Qi'an, and they will attack him more ruthlessly and faster, and Su Qi'an's situation will only become more and more dangerous.
Su Fengling stood in front of a window, with her back to Guard Lin, and was silent for a while.
"Uncle Lin, what you are worried about, I also know, I didn't understand it very well at first, but then I understood."
"Uncle Lin, in the face of absolute power and want to save your life, do you think that if you are obscure, forbearance, and blindly show weakness, the powerful will have pity in their hearts and let it go?"
Su Fengling's words, Lin Guard shook his head.
"Since you know that showing weakness can't save your life, if it were Uncle Lin, what would you do?"
Lin Huwei was stunned, but he quickly thought of something, raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashed a little surprised, and then nodded slightly, and said softly.
"I see, it's a subordinate who has not thought it through, and something is inappropriate."
In the face of the powerful, if you want to survive, you have to show your strength, and this strength is not directly asking for your life from the powerful.
It will not be in the same way, but if you send a group of people, I will kill a group, and whatever conspiracy and tricks you use, I can directly resolve it.
At the same time, increase your strength, and later kill you to the point that you don't dare to do it to yourself, and you are absolutely afraid of yourself.
Even before every move, you have to weigh it well, this is the real way to save your life.
Su Qi'an is no one else, he has never had a smooth ride along the way, but has gradually grown up under many suppressions, assassinations, and intrigues.
Such a person even dares to express his thoughts today, let alone the two princes who have not yet ascended the throne.
No matter what kind of conspiracy the two princes have this time, Su Qi'an will face it calmly, not only to break the conspiracy, but also to leave a deep impression on the two princes.
Until the two princes didn't dare to use knives to subdue, this was Su Qi'an's style of acting.
After understanding, Guard Lin didn't say anything, nodded again and again, and then turned to leave.
In fact, Su Fengling still had a sentence, she didn't talk to Lin Guard, the main purpose of Su Qi'an's hard bar is to stop peace with war and protect herself.
More importantly, it is to buy time for the innocent Ten Princes in the Imperial City who has not yet grown up.
As the future Emperor of Daliang and the next successor to the throne, this matter is an absolute secret, and no one else knows about it except Su Xuanyong, Su Qi'an and her.
In order to reduce the maximum possible exposure, the three of them have a clear division of labor, and externally, Su Qi'an is specifically responsible for attracting firepower.
Whether he is arrogant or unruly, he is crazy to be impeached by a group of courtiers, these are all things that Su Qi'an must do.
Internally, Su Xuanyong still attaches great importance to Su Zhe and Su Tai as before, and the two of them are fighting in the court, achieving a trend of checks and balances, and maintaining stability.
And Su Fengling's task is to install her own people in the harem, silently protect the ten princes, and find out the eyeliner that Su Zhe and Su Tai have placed in the imperial city one by one, and then pull them out.
This absolute secret, Su Fengling only knew about it at the last time, Su Xuanyong was unwilling to marry her far away, mainly because there was no one around her who was worthy of trust.
In order to keep her upright, you need a suitable reason not to be suspicious.
And Su Qi'an's entry into Beijing and the tongue war against the courtiers is a suitable opportunity.
The ring competitions and cultural fights in the back are all held naturally.
Su Qi'an proved his ability in this matter, which won Su Xuanyong's trust.
This is also why Su Qi'an confessed to Su Fengling in public and wanted to marry Su Fengling, Su Xuanyong was not angry, but secretly supported it.
Knowing this reason, Su Fengling was really shocked, she never thought that she would be involved in the road to winning the heir one day.
And the leader is still her father, but as a royal princess, Su Fengling's psychological quality is still okay.
She quickly adjusted her mentality, and without the slightest hesitation, accepted the task of protecting Su Xian.
To be honest, Su Fengling is not interested in her two elder brothers.
Su Zhe and Su Tai have scheming and ideas, if they say that they are good princes, they are qualified, but if they are emperors, Su Fengling thinks that the two are unqualified.
Today's Daliang is not as prosperous as it was a hundred years ago, and it is very stable and harmonious.
What is needed is the master of Zhongxing, but Su Zhe and Su Tai obviously can't meet the requirements of Zhongxing Daliang.
Her younger brother Su Xian, don't look innocent, but his heart is very transparent, he understands everything, and more importantly, he has a kind heart for the people at the bottom.
Such a person is the next suitable prince of Da Liang, and with a few auxiliary ministers, Da Liang will not turn the corner, but it is absolutely impossible to continue to deteriorate.
Therefore, for the sake of Da Liang's future, Su Fengling naturally knows how to stand in line.
At this moment, she also understood Su Qi'an's responsibility and difficulties.
Thinking about the last time we met in the imperial city, Su Fengling still had a little temper with him.
Instead of being angry, Su Qi'an accepted all the orders and promised her that she would definitely return her freedom.
Such a man is truly worthy of her and can shelter him from the wind and rain.
Su Fengling clenched her palms, looked into the distance, seemed to have made up some kind of determination, and murmured softly.
"Qi An, don't worry, there is me in the imperial city, I will not let you down, I will wait for you to come back, come back and marry me."
At this time, in the outside world, under the farewell of the people, Su Qi'an's carriage walked to the city gate, and not far from the city gate, the assembled Dongshan and Split Mountain armies were ready to go out at any time.
Su Qi'an came out of the carriage and clasped his fists at the dense crowd of people present.
The onlookers also expressed their blessings from the heart, and finally, under the gaze of everyone, Su Qi'an's carriage slowly drove away from Kyoto City.
Under the overwhelming cheers, no one knew that at another inconspicuous gate of Kyoto City, a convoy of merchants slowly drove away.
After all, not everyone is so leisurely and participates in the team to see off Su Qi'an.
Some people still have to run for their own livelihoods, and the convoy of merchants has been inspected, and all of them have passed the inspection of the soldiers at the city gate.
After leaving the city gates, the convoy quickly dispersed according to their respective purposes, and then drove away.
Several soldiers at the city gate, their eyes were withdrawn from the convoy, and after communicating with the people on duty, they took the opportunity to go to the toilet and left the team.
After a while, there were a few more pigeons in Kyoto Castle, and these pigeons flipped their wings and flew quickly towards the outside of the city.
About sixty or seventy miles outside of Kyoto, in a dense forest.
More than a dozen figures dressed in black gathered together, they were motionless, their eyes slightly closed, like a wood carving, if you listen carefully, their breathing seems to be integrated with the surrounding dense forest.
Time passed minute by minute, and I don't know how long it took, when suddenly, a pigeon flew above their heads, and one of the figures trembled and disappeared in place.
A moment later, his figure reappeared, in his hand, holding a dove.
On the pigeon's leg, a small note is tied, which is opened and the gaze is swept.
Then the man's palm loosened, the dove broke free from his hand, and he said coldly to the figure in front of him.
"Everyone, the target has appeared, and you can act."
The moment the words fell, more than a dozen black-clothed people in front of him opened suddenly
The eyes, as they opened, instantly erupted with a strong murderous aura in their bodies.
Judging from these murderous aura alone, it can be deduced that these guys are not ordinary people, all of them are first-class masters, and even among them, there are several top masters.
This kind of lineup, looking at the ring competition, is very rare, with the leader, receive orders.
Not long after, the killers who were quietly lurking here disappeared in an instant.
And in front of them, about forty or fifty miles away, an inconspicuous convoy of merchants drove slowly.
From Kyoto Castle to now, the journey has been smooth without any trouble.
Speaking of which, they were able to go so smoothly thanks to the Dongshan and Split Mountain armies stationed on the outskirts of the city some time ago. Look at the book
Without their cooperation in the encirclement and suppression, it would have been impossible for the caravan to have a smooth journey.
The convoy is driving, about the estimated distance, in more than 20 miles, you can arrive at the post station along the way, and then you can rest well.
Just when the convoy was on the way, the accident happened, and it walked about ten miles.
Suddenly, in front of them, a group of men in black appeared without warning.
These people were armed with long knives, and at a glance they knew that the comer was not good.
Seeing this, the caravan immediately stopped, and the dart master who accompanied the caravan looked nervous and surrounded the caravan in the middle.
The leader of the caravan had seen the scene, and he stepped forward with a smile on his face, and said with a smile.
"Dare to ask you, which way is it, you have come so far and wide, you have worked hard, and you are not respectful if you are careful, and I hope that you can smile with your noble hands.
said that he was about to step forward, and he wanted to give money to buy his life.
The leader hadn't taken a few steps when there was a whoosh, and in the dense forest in the distance, an arrow galloped towards him.
Sticking three inches into the ground in front of the leader, this scene startled the leader.
took a few steps back, and hurriedly said, "I don't know where I offended your masters, and I hope you can let me wait for a way out."
"Hmph, you didn't offend us, but provoked people who shouldn't be provoked, Dongshan Hou, it's all this time, there's no need to cover it up, come out, these entourages of yours are not qualified to talk to me."
"Don't hide, let me see how powerful the famous Dongshan Hou is."
