I thought that Su Yong's slap in the face at the banquet would make Zhongzhou Mu and Zhongzhou magnates have a big move in private.

But their reaction was to visit them in person, and they had already sent the mansions to the government, and they would deal with what they did, and they would definitely not use their power to oppress people.

This can be regarded as a kind of sincerity they show to Su Qi'an, but they will never do anything to protect them, and guarantee that as long as Su Qi'an is in Zhongzhou for a day, once they find that the children of the major powerful families have violated the law, they will not be soft and fully cooperate.

Their statements were sincere, not fake, and even Zhongzhou Mu personally came to the door and talked with them.

Through the conversation and the information sent back, Su Qi'an probably had some understanding of this Zhongzhou pastor, the purpose of what he did, and he also probably knew the intention of what he did.

Those who can serve as state pastors are not simple goods, and the same is true for this Zhongzhou pastor.

Naturally, he has his own selfishness and interests in the jurisdiction of Zhongzhou, as long as Su Qi'an is not too embarrassed, even if he loses some interests, Zhongzhou Mu can turn a blind eye.

His request is very simple, he will naturally deal with the affairs in Zhongzhou, and he only begs Su Qi'an not to interfere too much in the affairs of Zhongzhou.

To put it bluntly, don't develop forces in Zhongzhou and grab territory, as long as you can do this, the rest of the things are easy to discuss, this is the purpose of Zhongzhou Mu door-to-door conversation.

In response to this, Su Qi'an replied with a letter to Su Yong, which basically agreed to the request made by Zhongzhou Mu.

The reason why I agreed, Su Qi'an had his own considerations, Zhongzhou is a place where soldiers must fight, but it is strategic, but the premise is Daliang civil strife.

Da Liang is getting worse now, but there will be no signs of division in a short period of time, and Su Qi'an has no reason to intervene.

Moreover, the forces of Zhongzhou, in addition to Zhongzhou Mu, also include Su Zhe, Su Taijiao's cronies, and the idle prince Yuwang.

These forces have already stirred the water and captured it alive, why should Su Qi'an meddle at this time, being able to manage the two states of Xijiao and Jiaozhou is the limit, and he is meddling in Zhongzhou and not making trouble for himself?

Instead of this, it is better to send a favor, so that at least Zhongzhou Mu will not have too much hostility towards Su Qi'an.

The main point is that Zhongzhou is under the jurisdiction of Zhongzhou Mu, and the internal security is good, which is less than the upper and more than the lower.

At least the ordinary people in the counties can get by, and there will be no large-scale refugees.

It shows that this Zhongzhou Mu still has some ability, and Su Qi'an has no need to make a move on him.

Don't meddle in other people's one-third of an acre of land, and the return in exchange is definitely rich.

After receiving Su Qi'an's instructions, Su Yong conveyed the meaning to Zhongzhou Mu, and as he thought, Zhongzhou Mu's attitude towards Su Yong was called a good one.

Not only is the whole process greeted with a smile, but also basically responds to requests, which is the reward for not touching the other party's territory and not violating the other party's core interests.

After all, Su Qi'an was just a passerby in Zhongzhou, and the ultimate goal was to go to Dongzhou to quell the rebellion, and he couldn't stay in Zhongzhou for long.

and got Su Qi'an's promise, Zhongzhou Mu naturally spared no effort to entertain the army led by Su Yong and Xie Cang.

The previous banquet was a big fuss, but after many powerful people and state pastors visited the door, it was a complete resolution of grievances.

In the following time, Zhongzhou Mu personally accompanied Su Yong and wandered around Zhongzhou City, with a smile on his face, and his mood was very good.

And Su Qi'an's side, after seven days of travel, can be regarded as walking out of a county in Zhongzhou, not far in front of them, is the base camp of the soldiers of the Beishan Battalion, Beishan County.

As long as you cross Beishan County, you will arrive at Qingshui County, and at that time, you will barely get out of the border of Zhongzhou and will soon enter Zhongzhou.

When it comes to Beishan County, Lao Ji has changed his previous clouds and breezes, and his face is a little dignified.

If there was no conflict in Zhenshan County, Lao Ji might have taken Su Qi'an to look around in Beishan County.

But now, for the sake of your own safety, it is better not to stay and go all the way out of Beishan County.

Especially after stepping into the boundary of Beishan County, Lao Ji's heart became more and more uneasy, and he could feel that this trip to Beishan County was not so simple.

In front of the convoy of the two, they stepped into the boundary of Beishan County, and on the back foot, about ten miles behind them, there were more than a dozen scouts, following non-stop.

They probed around, looked at the wheel marks clearly left on the ground, looked up ahead, and basically determined the target to be tracked.

It's just that their faces are not very good-looking, and according to the estimation of the second commander, Su Qi'an Laoji's caravan will arrive in Beishan County in three or five days at most.

These scouts waited in front of them in advance, but they waited left and right, and seven days passed, and they didn't even see the shadow of the caravan.

At one point, they thought that something was wrong with their surveillance, and in order not to delay the mission of the second commander, they returned all the way, looking for them along the way.

It took a long time to walk a hundred and ten miles, and finally found the traces of the caravan, and later after understanding, I learned that Su Qi'an and Lao Ji's caravan was not in a hurry at all.

On the contrary, he stopped and walked, and played while walking, which delayed the time, and in combination with the present, he stepped into the boundary of Beishan County, and he didn't even have the meaning of stopping at all.

What does this mean? It's not too much to say that it's deliberate, it's all about playing them like fools.

The scout also has a temper, looking at the wheel mark in the distance ahead, the scout captain led by him, his face is indifferent, and he said coldly.

"Hurry up and inform the Grand Commander, just say that if you find the caravan trail, it will take half a day at most, and you will encounter it, so that the Grand Commander can prepare quickly."

Several scouts behind him nodded, quickly turning away, and one of the scouts who remained beside him asked.

"Captain, what do we do next?"

The scout captain looked at him with a fierce look in his eyes and said coldly, "We? Naturally, they went with other brothers to make their dumplings, and dared to play us like this, and this time let them see the power of the Beishan camp."

Then the scout captain, with the few scouts left, quickly chased forward.

After Su Qi'an and Lao Ji's caravan stepped into the boundary of the Beishan camp, they did not stop all the way, and wanted to leave Beishan County as fast as possible.

Lao Ji, who was sitting in the car, looked around, and didn't know how long the carriage had been gone, Lao Ji suddenly said.

"Xiao Qi, do you feel strange?"

Lao Ji's inexplicable question, Su Qi'an was not surprised at all, his eyes kept looking out of the car, and after a while, his gaze was withdrawn, he nodded slightly, and said.

"Old Ji, do you feel this way too? I feel like we're in an ambush."

Lao Ji nodded thoughtfully, and as the convoy moved, the two of them obviously found that on this official road, in addition to seeing other caravans and some traders who were in a hurry.

As it deepened, I don't know when, there was only their caravan left on the entire official road, and this scene seemed a little weird.

Both of them have experienced some things and seen some of the world, and there is usually only one reason why such things happen.

They were being targeted, and they were guessed that there were already people around them, or in front of them, who were about to strike at them.

After realizing this, Su Qi'an did not hesitate, and only let the driver and the accompanying Tong Zhan make a noise, let the convoy stop, and be ready for battle at any time.

Su Qi'an wanted to see how bold the fools of the Beishan camp were to dare to openly ambush them.

Don't look at Su Qi'an, there is no Dongshan and Split Mountain armies accompanying him, but along the way, the teams directly under the headquarters can follow.

This team of thousands of people, even if they are divided into batches and keep a distance, as long as Su Qi'an sends a signal, they will be able to converge in a moment or so at most.

No matter how strong the fools of the Beishan Battalion are, Su Qi'an doesn't believe that he will pull out the soldiers of the entire Beishan Battalion.

To deal with a caravan like theirs and use the soldiers of the entire Beishan battalion, it must not be laughed off.

Less than a moment after Su Qi'an beckoned the convoy to stop, as expected, Su Qi'an and his party really encountered an ambush.

All of a sudden, in the surrounding forests, two or three hundred people rushed out of the front and back, surrounding the caravan.

It's just that these people are not north

The soldiers of the mountain camp, judging by their clothing, should be bandits.

The appearance of the bandits, Su Qi'an did not have any fear, and Lao Ji beside him wanted to appear, but was stopped by Su Qi'an.

"Lao Ji, you better rest, last time it was a ruffian, an official, maybe I will give you a little thin face, but for these bandits, it is estimated that your face should not work."

"Stay in the car this time and see what I do with these guys."

Without waiting for Lao Ji to speak, Su Qi'an walked out of the carriage directly.

The leader of the bandits looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes were a little surprised, this was a little different from the information he got, but looking at the flag of the caravan behind him, he knew that the target of this attack should be right.

The bandit leader glanced at Su Qi'an and said coldly, "Are there no people in your caravan? Where did the stinky boy come from, and he also wants to learn from others? Boy, let your caravan master come out, otherwise don't blame Uncle Ben for having no eyes for the knife in his hand."

"The principal? I'm the one you're looking for, just tell me anything." Su Qi'an said lightly.

The bandit leader raised his eyebrows, "Just you? Stinky boy, are you here to fool your uncle, are you blind when you are uncle? Isn't there anyone else in the car, are you looking for death..."

The bandit leader wanted to continue, but was directly interrupted by Su Qi'an.

"What about fooling you? It's just a bunch of bandits, and they really think they're characters? A robbery is a robbery, and you still want to find the principal, you are also worthy? If you want to fight, you can fight, so much nonsense? I don't know what kind of famous people you think you are."...

"Blatantly robbing caravans on official roads, I want to see who is more desperate for death."

"You!"

Su Qi'an's words somewhat made these bandits a little dumbfounded, so there was a look of surprise in their eyes.

It was the first time they had encountered a caravan that dared to speak to the bandits like this, and the bandit leader was even more choked by Su Qi'an's words.
