Chapter 822: Meeting the Two Kings
If the first half of the sentence makes everyone want to say something, but the second half of the sentence is for the ten princes, everyone is silent all of a sudden.
Su Xuanyong's last words before he died, they heard them clearly, and asked Su Qi'an to protect his two sons.
Even if there is no last word, as courtiers, it is their duty to protect Su Kang and Su Xian.
Su Xian is not only one of the few bloodlines of Emperor Liang, but more importantly, he is only in his teens, how can such a young child watch him die.
I couldn't say anything about it, knowing that I couldn't stop Su Qi'an, several veterans said directly...
"King Yongchuan, since you insist on going, it will be difficult for us to stop you, but your status is noble, if there is any danger if you go, it is also our sin."
"We old guys have lived long enough, so let's go in your place, and let's buy you time to escape."
The suggestions of several veterans were rejected by Su Qi'an, and he said, "The second king asked for me by name, and you go, I'm afraid that it will be really bad luck."
"And this time, if you want to take me down, it's not that simple, maybe I can escape smoothly."
"Okay, this matter is decided, we don't have much time left, you prepare quickly, wait for me to go to the appointment with the second king, see the right time, and go out of the city at any time."
"I've already said hello to Sun Wen and them, and with their arrangements, it should be no problem for you to escape from Kyoto."
"In that case, come with us." Su Kang on the side said without giving up.
Su Qi'an shook his head, "King Jin's order has been written very clearly, in order to meet me, he deliberately opened the city gate and contacted the seal, this is his sincerity, if I run away with you, I think most of the people in the city will suffer again."
"I can't do this kind of thing that puts others in danger for me, I really want to do it, and I don't deserve to inherit the title of the ancestor King Yongchuan."
Hearing this, everyone understood that there was no possibility of changing this matter, and it could only be carried out according to Su Qi'an's plan.
Several veterans, with solemn faces, looked at Su Qi'an, solemnly clenched their fists, and said sincerely.
"King Yongchuan, you must live! We're still waiting for your troops to fight back."
"Well, yes, don't worry, the person who wants to kill me hasn't been born in Da Liang yet."
"King Yongchuan take care!"
"Take care, everybody."
After saying goodbye one by one, several veterans and Su Kang retreated directly, and in the past few days, with the help of Sun Wen and Liu Meng's intelligence organization.
Lurking in Kyoto, Su Kang's men and horses also arrived in time, and then waited for Su Qi'an to meet with the two kings, and took advantage of the lifting of the lockdown, his men and horses protected Su Kang and others from Kyoto.
These people, each of whom is a master, are Su Kang's henchmen, and they can come together, and their strength should not be underestimated.
Su Kang left with the veteran, Su Qi'an was not worried, with their strength, it should not be a big problem to leave.
As Su Kang and the others retreated, Su Qi'an whispered to Sun Wen and Liu Meng, as if they were telling something.
Three days passed, and the words spoken by the King of Jin were like water spilled out, keeping his promise.
The lockdown was lifted, the city gate was wide open, and the people in the city could move around, and Su Qi'an, who was ready, quietly sneaked out of the hiding mansion with the help of Sun Wen and Liu Meng.
Then he appeared on the second street in Kyoto, with Tong Zhan and a dozen other people behind him, wearing hats and silently walking towards the first street.
The reason why this was done was also to not expose their residences, and also to protect the safety of Sun Wen and Liu Meng.
appeared on Second Avenue for no reason, even if someone found out, they would think that Su Qi'an and they were hiding here, and they would not think of the Yingbin Building far away.
More than a dozen people wearing hats walked silently towards the first street, compared to the bustle of the second street, closer to the first street, the people around gradually decreased, and it looked very deserted.
As Su Qi'an and the others approached, they would find that the road leading to First Avenue in front of them was controlled by the security army at some point.
Not just a road, but a place
There are roads leading to First Avenue, all of which are fortified with checkpoints.
It can be said that among the ten major streets in Kyoto today, the first street is empty, as if it were a clear street.
Everyone knows that today the King of Jin will have an appointment with the traitor Su Qi'an, at this time, whoever dares to show his head on First Street is likely to be regarded as an accomplice and taken down on the spot.
Therefore, today's First Avenue is very empty and silent, and the people around it are just watching from a distance and dare not approach.
In this case, Su Qi'an and a dozen other people swaggered towards First Street, and they also wore hats, and it was difficult to attract everyone's attention.
And the security forces guarding the checkpoint also found a group of unidentified people walking towards them.
Without any hesitation, he immediately held the sword and crossbow, his face was tense, and he aimed at Su Qi'an and the others.
One of the leaders couldn't help but shout loudly, "Whoever dares to break into the first street, report his name, stop immediately for inspection, or he will be killed."
This kind of ferocious releasing did not have much effect, and Su Qi'an and the others still walked unhurriedly.
These security soldiers, with serious expressions, have already taken aim at the crossbowmen, and they can shoot these people as soon as they give the order.
Seeing that Su Qi'an and the others were getting closer and closer, without the slightest intention of stopping, the leader's eyes flashed, and he just wanted to give the order to shoot these people, when suddenly, Su Qi'an's voice sounded softly.
"What? This is the hospitality of King Jin? At the beginning of the invitation, Su agreed to come to the appointment, and this is how you treat the guests who go to the appointment?"
Hearing this, the security forces at the checkpoint were stunned, and before they could react, Su Qi'an took off the hat on his head, revealing that familiar face.
That kind face has a little smile on it at this time.
This scene directly stunned everyone, they couldn't have imagined that these chaotic ministers and thieves, especially Su Qi'an, the leader, really dared to go to the appointment.
You must know that when they forced the palace to rebel and pursued them all the way, Su Qi'an and others were quite cunning, and they fled again and again under their noses.
finally entered Kyoto, and because of a few words from King Jin, he took the initiative to show up to make an appointment, which made these security soldiers unable to react for a while.
In their opinion, the most important thing Su Qi'an should do is to take advantage of the opening of the city gate, escape as soon as possible, and then return to his fiefdom.
But in this way, they were led out by a few words from King Jin, which made them want to break their heads, and they couldn't figure it out.
Not to mention them, even the people who were watching silently from a distance knew Su Qi'an's identity, and everyone was stunned.
Standing stupidly, there were many of them, rubbing their eyes, for fear that they had seen the wrong thing.
When these people came back to their senses completely, Su Qi'an and the others standing in front of the checkpoint had already entered the first street, and all they were left with was a distant back.
The people were excited in their hearts, and they just wanted to take a few steps and chase forward to find out, but after a few steps, they stopped, and they were not yet carried away by emotions.
Although curious, between life, or one's own life is the most important, don't lose your life because of a moment of curiosity.
Standing in place for a long time, the faces of the people had an unwilling look, and finally sighed and walked away.
On the other hand, on Su Qi'an's side, the security army that came back to their senses led the way in front of them as soon as possible.
Even if the security army has many question marks in their hearts, but the order was given by the King of Jin, what can they influence these little people?
The first time he received Su Qi'an, he didn't have any intention of leaving the whole process, and escorted him all the way.
I don't know how many more people than Su Qi'an, so I directly surrounded Su Qi'an and them, and I felt that I was afraid that Su Qi'an and the others would escape.
After a series of successful breakthroughs from under his nose, he finally ran into Su Qi'an, who took the initiative to come to the door, how did this not make the security army cautious.
But as soon as Su Qi'an slipped away from under their noses again, they people, needless to say, could go to see the second king with their heads raised.
Because
The emptiness of First Avenue is empty all around the way, there is no popularity, not even a person can be seen, like a ghost street.
Fortunately, the escort on this road is not far away, and after crossing two main roads, in the middle of the street, there is a gazebo that has been built.
At this time, there are many people in the pavilion, and there are also some guards around it.
This can be regarded as a kind of sincerity given by the two kings, and they did not choose the location in any mansion or restaurant.
On the contrary, in the middle of the empty street, a gazebo was built, which could be seen through at a glance, which was enough to prove that they had not arranged any ambush for this invitation.
Moreover, the first street is already in the outermost part of Kyoto, and if some masters use some light skills to climb over two or three courtyard walls, they can leave Kyoto.
It can be said that the invitation location this time has given Su Qi'an a considerable amount of sincerity, which can be described as full of sincerity.
The security army who led the way was quite eye-catching, and stopped about a hundred steps away from the pavilion and motioned to Su Qi'an and them to go on their own.
Su Qi'an nodded, took Tong Zhan and a dozen or so people, took steps, and soon came to the pavilion.
At this time, in the pavilion, there were three people sitting, Su Zhe in the middle, and Su Tai and Rongguo representatives on the left and right were respectively.
Seeing Su Qi'an appear, the three of them all got up for the first time, smiling, especially Su Zhe, he motioned for the guard in front of him to step back, walked quickly to Su Qi'an, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile.
"Tut-tut, it's really not easy, I finally looked forward to the arrival of the hundred marquis, and this king thought that the hundred marquis would not come."
Su Qi'an's face was calm, he didn't hesitate, and he also stretched out his hand.
"King Jin's order, how dare Su not come, and King Jin also expressed his sincerity, to do this, Su still knows some etiquette."
"Hahaha, it's worthy of being a hundred marquis, come on, come on, sit down, it just so happens that this king will introduce you to a person."
Saying that, Su Zhe grabbed Su Qi'an's hand and took him into the pavilion, and while talking, he introduced the Rongguo representative on the side to Su Qi'an.
That kind of enthusiasm, I don't know, I think the two are friends.
