Chapter 827: The Contest Begins
The two kings have endured for so many years, and almost all the possibilities have been expected, but they didn't expect their father to pass the throne to Su Kang?
The prince who was not valued at all, was inconspicuous, and had a flawed body, was the next emperor of Da Liang, which was unacceptable to the second king no matter what.
This news exploded in the ears of the second king like thunder, and the second king was stunned for a long time, even if Su Qi'an was far away, compared to this matter, it was insignificant.
After a moment of silence, the second king came back to his senses, looked up at Su Qi'an, who was far away, and did not give the order to pursue at the first time, but communicated.
"Second brother, what Su Qi'an said, do you think it's true?"
Su Zhe's eyes flashed, and he said softly, "With my father's thoughts, it is not impossible to do this. ”
Hearing this, Su Tai's heart fell to the bottom, his face was gloomy, and he said coldly.
"Unexpectedly, as Su Qi'an said, we have done so much, and we have really made wedding dresses for others, no wonder the sixth brother dares to have the confidence to fight against us, we were all played by him! Second brother, I'm really not convinced. ”
Su Tai's eyes were like killing people, no wonder he couldn't control his emotions, although they succeeded in forcing the palace to rebel, and Emperor Liang also returned to heaven.
They have a so-called abdication edict in their hands, and with the help of the power of Rongguo, it will not affect their succession to the throne in the slightest.
But they always wanted to be personally recognized by Su Xuanyong in their hearts, just like Suning, the crown prince, was justified back then.
For so many years, in addition to the open and secret battles, the two kings have also shared a lot of state affairs for Su Xuanyong, not to mention much credit, but not more than Su Kang, who has been in Yuezhou all the year round, has made a greater contribution.
But as a result, their father, before he died, personally recognized Su Kang as the heir of Da Liang, which they couldn't accept no matter what.
After so many years of hard work, in exchange for a joke, he has never been recognized by Su Xuanyong, and he is not as good as a concubine county king, how ridiculous it is.
Compared with Su Tai's gloomy face, Su Zhe didn't have so many emotions, and said after a moment of silence.
"Is it so important to be unrecognized and tricked?"
Su Tai was stunned and looked at Su Zhe with a little puzzlement.
Su Zhe continued, "Now that the matter has been completed, even if the father and emperor have appointed the sixth brother as the heir, so what, can he change it to the current Da Liang, the reason why I want to know my father's last words is nothing more than an obsession in my heart." ”
"Now that I know this, I feel a lot more at ease, and I am more determined to be wise in forcing the palace to abdicate this time, and now is the beginning of the real battle, isn't it."
Su Zhe had a smile on his face, and his eyes showed firmness, which was an attitude of making up his mind and not having the slightest scruples, and he could do a big job.
Su Tai adjusted his mood and nodded, "Second brother is right, the real battle has just begun, and it is not certain who will kill the deer, let's see." ”
"By the way, second brother, are you going to let Su Qi'an go like this?"
Just as Su Zhe was about to answer this question, suddenly a hurried voice sounded behind them.
"Why are you still stunned, chase quickly, if you let Su Qi'an go, your head will not be protected."
It was no one else who spoke, but the representative of Rongguo, his face was anxious, for fear that Su Qi'an would run away like this, and the sense of anxiety was even worse than that of the second king, as if Su Qi'an was his mortal enemy.
At the same time, the forbidden army, which was fifty paces away, quickly rushed over after watching Su Qi'an flee on horseback, just as they were about to make a large-scale attack to arrest them.
Su Zhe's voice sounded slowly, "Wait." ”
A group of forbidden soldiers stopped their tracks.
Su Zhe changed his words and said, "Tut-tut, when did the soldiers under this king need to be transferred by the envoys of Rongguo?" ”
"This time the envoy has mobilized the king's subordinates, will he order the king next time?"
Su Zhe's voice was very soft, smiling, and he looked very casual, but it was such a remark that made Representative Rongguo sober up instantly.
Hurriedly laughed and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is laughing, how can I dare to order you, just for His Highness's sake, if Su Qi'an runs away, it will be another disaster,"
"Hehe, for the sake of it? Then the king has to thank you, the matter of arresting Su Qi'an, there is no need for the envoys to worry about it, this is my internal matter of Daliang, how to do it, this king has his own measure. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, it is the envoy who has overstepped a little, and I ask His Highness for forgiveness, the envoy is waiting for the good news of His Highness, if there is nothing wrong, the envoy will retire."
As he spoke, Representative Rong Guo saluted with respect on his face, and then turned his head and left.
Su Zhe didn't stop him, nodded with a smile, and sent a team of forbidden troops to escort him back to the mansion.
It's just that his gaze has been watching the representative of Rongguo leave, and then he retracted it, and Su Tai on the side also saw the clue and said softly.
"Second brother, don't you want to?"
Su Zhe said unhurriedly, "Originally, if I had been a dumb person, maybe I could have saved my life, but unfortunately, some people take themselves too seriously, and he knows too much about today's interview, for the sake of safety, I believe that dead people can keep secrets." ”
"Besides, don't you think that if Representative Eikook dies in Kyoto, it will be more valuable than returning to Eikoku alive?"
Su Tai's eyes flashed, as if he thought of something, a smile appeared on his face, and he said again and again.
"It's a good move, anyway, Rongguo has always had a bad impression of Su Qi'an, and now he has one more envoy's life, Rongguo will definitely hate Su Qi'an to death, and then we will be able to use Rongguo's strength more to realize our ambitions, second brother's trick is high."
Su Tai's praise, Su Zhe nodded slightly, and then with a serious expression, he said to the forbidden army who stayed behind him.
"Pass on the king's order, issue an order to the states to hunt down Su Qi'an, Su Qi'an forced the palace to rebel, forced his father to death, it is really an unforgivable crime, once the Daliang states find the whereabouts of Su Qi'an, Su Kang and other chaotic ministers and thieves, they must be captured at all costs, they must see people in life, and corpses in death, and those who violate the order will be severely punished."
The forbidden army behind him listened to the order, and they all nodded heavily, and just wanted to attack and arrest, but they were stopped by Su Zhe, and he said softly.
"After dealing with Su Qi'an for so long, don't you still know his methods? Send two scout teams to investigate, and after making sure it's safe, then chase them,"
Su Zhe's words made the forbidden army behind him suddenly realize, and after a while, two scout teams, one left and one right, entered the jungle in front to investigate.
After a while, sure enough, a smoke bomb left in ambush was found in the jungle, and around the smoke bomb, there were all kinds of small traps and traps, which were prepared in advance, in order to wait for them to be hit.
The forbidden army behind him listened to the scout's report, and was shocked in his heart, and they were all glad that they did not rush over directly, otherwise they were destined to be more than lucky.
Fortunately, I was reminded by Su Zhe, and there was a lot of gratitude in the eyes that looked at Su Zhe.
As the scout team dismantled various traps and traps, Su Zhe's faint voice sounded.
"As long as you can obey the king's commands, glory and wealth will await you in the future."
"Thank you, His Royal Highness King Jin, we will definitely swear allegiance to the death."
The loud voice resounded through the jungle, and a moment later, as the traps and traps in front of them were dismantled, the forbidden army finally moved and chased in the direction of Su Qi'an.
Seeing the departure of the forbidden army, Su Zhe turned his head and looked at Su Taidao with a somewhat playful look.
"Fourth, the real battle has begun."
"I'm also looking forward to the second brother's methods." Su Tai did not show weakness at all, and replied toughly.
Don't look at the cooperation between him and Su Zhe, the cooperation is quite harmonious and pleasant, but this cooperation will come to an end after all.
With the return of Emperor Liang to heaven, the Imperial City of Kyoto is fully controlled, and the biggest threats, Su Qi'an and Su Kang, have fled, and this cooperation has basically come to an end.
This time is not only the contest between Su Qi'an and Su Kang, but also the beginning of the contest between the two of them.
There are no two days, and there are no two masters, so it depends on who can have the ability to dominate the big cool.
Both of them were smiling, and then turned around and went back to the city, behind them, a group of forbidden troops, also divided into two teams, silently followed, Da Liang from this moment, it was divided.
At the same time, while the two kings were stunned, Su Qi'an rode his horse and galloped wildly under the response of An's team.
Along the way, he galloped on the official road, but this gallop did not last long, and after running for four or five miles, Su Qi'an forcibly reined in the horse rope and stopped.
Without any hesitation, he immediately turned over and dismounted, and hid directly in the jungle on the side, in front of him, a team of about a dozen people appeared, they took Su Qi'an's horse rope, and one of them turned over on the horse.
did not stop, under the cover of the team, continued to run all the way, and after the team left about a stick of incense, soon, there was a commotion behind him.
A large number of forbidden troops galloped after them, and the leader suddenly stopped in the middle of the road, looked at the traces on the ground, and then shouted loudly.
"Su Qi'an has already joined up with the person who answered, quick, follow me to chase quickly, everyone is ready to fight, once you find a trace, don't leave your hands, shoot immediately, anyone who blocks it, shoot and kill."
After a while, the forbidden army that had stopped galloped again, and the ground shook, raising a puff of sand and dust, and soon disappeared from the end of sight.
What they didn't know was that in the jungle on the side, their every move was watched by Su Qi'an, and the closest was only sixty or seventy steps away.
Su Qi'an watched them leave like this.
It wasn't until these pursuing forbidden troops disappeared that Su Qi'an withdrew immediately under the protection of An's team.
He knew that leaving Kyoto City seemed to be a great danger, but in fact, every step he took was a great danger.
So before going to the appointment, he had already discussed every step he would take with Sun Wen and Liu Meng.
Including the arrangements after leaving the city, in order to prevent the two kings from turning their faces and chasing them, the An team arranged various traps and traps outside the city in advance, which could be blocked for at least a while.
When it was time to chase him, Su Qi'an asked the personnel of his direct team to come to answer him at the agreed place and cover his escape.
In order to make the play sufficient, Su Qi'an divided the direct team into several teams of ten people, and every time he ran a certain distance, the next team would wait for him.
Under this kind of pursuit, even if the forbidden army is numerous, it will be circled in the hands of several squads.
