Chapter 64 Acting
Zheng Liang shouted sternly, his voice was astonishing, and the dozen or so confidants behind him all aimed their arrows at the big stone in front of him.
Whenever someone dares to escape, they will definitely feel what it means to be heartbroken.
Behind the big rock, two figures came out quickly on horseback.
Looking at the two of them, Zheng Liang's pupils shrank, obviously taken aback, but he quickly regained his composure.
A smile appeared on his serious face, and he chuckled, "Haha, it turns out to be Brother Su, the child guard. I didn't expect to meet you here. What a coincidence."
"Yeah, what a coincidence. I didn't expect that when you and I split up our troops, Brother Zheng would actually come to the north while walking. I have to say that Brother Zheng's command is really awesome."
Zheng Liang was not angry at Su Qian's unceremonious sarcasm. Instead, he shook his head and explained helplessly.
"Brother Su, I feel ashamed to say this."
"This time we divided our troops, the plan was to go south, but I didn't expect that Zhao Ang wanted to escape without permission. I pursued him all the way and then killed Zhao Ang."
"Hey, this Zhao Ang has really embarrassed our famous family. Brother Su just happened to see it. I hope Brother Su can forgive me and let this matter go by like this."
There was nothing wrong with what Zheng Liang said, and there was a sad look on his face. With his acting skills, if Su Qi'an hadn't heard the conversation between the two, he might have been deceived.
Su Qi'an nodded and said softly, "Mr. Zheng has his own difficulties. Su understands, but it is not impossible to let this matter go. However, Mr. Zheng's sincerity is not enough. I'm afraid your henchmen want to kill me right away."
Shoot him."
Zheng Liang was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the confidants behind him. The arrows in the hands of these ten people did not show any intention of putting down the arrows following Su Qi'an's appearance.
Instead, the string of the bow became tighter and tighter. It was okay to deceive others with this small trick, but if you want to deceive Su Qi'an, a master of marksmanship, you would be just trying to trick someone else.
Zheng Liang quickly signaled his confidants to put down their crossbows and said to Su Qian, "Brother Su, don't mind. They were all worried about my comfort and forgot about it for a moment. I hope Brother Su doesn't blame me for this..."
Before Zheng Liang finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Su Qi'an. This time Su Qi'an did not mean any politeness and spoke very straightforwardly.
"Master Zheng, acting is of no use to me. Su is just a small official. He doesn't want to participate in the battles between wealthy families like you. When he comes here, he just wants to contribute to the border war."
, Others are not interested and don’t want to intervene.”
"How did Zhao Ang die? You can shut up if you want Su. Su just wants to know the information obtained by Mr. Zheng, otherwise."
Su Qi'an's threat was obvious. As soon as he said these words, Zheng Liangdui's smiling face instantly revealed a vicious look.
Only then did he realize that this Su Qian was really extraordinary, and he really looked down upon him.
Zheng Liang indeed has a piece of top-secret information about Zhenjun City. As one of the four most prominent families in Kyoto, how could the Zheng family not have the means to obtain information?
Zheng Liang did not intend to inform Fan Wenzhong of this top-secret information, but had other motives.
He thought he was hiding well, but he didn't expect that Su Qian would still find him.
If he hadn't learned the news in advance and just relied on guesswork, then this person would be really terrible. If he wasn't eliminated, he would definitely be a serious problem.
Zheng Liang stared at Su Qi'an and said softly, "Su Qi'an, you are very good. I have underestimated you, and I will stop pretending. Yes, I do have a piece of top-secret information in my hands, but I don't
I plan to make a deal with you."
"What qualifications do you think you have to make a deal with me? Can you still leave here alive?"
Zheng Liang did have the confidence to say this. Not to mention other things, he relied on the dozen or so confidants under him.
Although there is a good guard on the opposite side, are these confidants he trained vegetarians?
Even if Su Qi'an and Tong Zhan can kill him, so what, what is his identity, and what is Su Qi'an's identity.
Once he is killed, there will be no way to hide what happened in Tianqian. When Su Qi'an is burdened with the murders of the two marquises, even if Fan Wenzhong comes forward, he will not be able to save him.
What qualifications does a small commoner with no background have to challenge a prominent family like his that has existed for hundreds of years? He is just looking for death.
Zheng Liang didn't panic at all and looked at Su Qi'an with a condescending attitude.
In such a face-breaking situation, the best outcome for Su Qi'an is to apologize obediently and accept Zheng Liang's control. Maybe Zheng Liang will be in a good mood and let him go.
Su Qi'an sat on the horse, smiled and nodded, sighing, "Haha, you are worthy of being a famous family for a century. There is nothing wrong with saying this."
"What Mr. Zheng said is right. Even if Su, a commoner, is lucky enough to kill all of you, he can't hide the matter. When the time comes, with the power behind Mr. Hou, the white ones can also be called black."
"It's really enviable to have a good background in Da Liang."
"Haha, Su Qi'an knows the current affairs and is a hero. If you know the situation, you should know what to do." Zheng Liang laughed and said.
It was as if all of this was under his control.
At this time, Su Qian raised her head and looked at the faint line of sky above her head. The feeling seemed very depressing.
Su Qi'an chuckled and said, "I wonder if Lord Marquis knows what's going on in the chasm above our heads."
Zheng Liang's eyes narrowed and he looked up at the sky. His face was a little flustered, but he quickly calmed down and said coldly.
"Hmph, Su Qian, don't scare me here. There are indeed countless boulders above our heads. How could you not detonate them just by yourself?"
"Master Hou really guessed it right. Su really has this ability. I wonder if Master Hou remembers the loud arrows that exploded in Nancheng District. With Master Hou's eyesight, he should be able to recognize what they were."
"Su Qi'an, you are so brave. You dare to hide the black powder secretly. Believe it or not, I will put you in jail if you mix it with a piece of paper!"
"Believe me. I believe what Mr. Marquis said. It's just that Su is in trouble. Why do you still care about going to jail?"
"Su Qi'an, you!" Zheng Liang was a little angry.
Su Qi'an seemed not to have seen it and was still thinking to himself, "Let Su do the math. If the huge boulder on the moat is detonated at once and all of it falls down, child guard, how many people do you think will survive?"
"Sir, once the huge rock in the natural moat explodes, there is absolutely no chance that anyone in the natural moat will survive. And according to my subordinates, they will conduct a survey and analysis of the terrain when they come down."
"After the boulder is detonated, this natural chasm road will be completely blocked. Excavation and dredging will require at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers and will take seven or eight years to be possible."
"Oh, that's it. If we are all buried here, what happened here will not be spread. Do you think this will be written in the court's briefing on our deaths?"
"I heard that Su Qi'an, the grandson of Zheng Guogong, the grandson of Zheng Guogong, and the grandson of Zhao Guogong, Su Qi'an, the governor of Lingbei, was unfortunately killed due to the war in the north. I have given you a special reward... The imperial court expresses its condolences."
"Sir, it's really possible," Tong Zhan replied seriously.
The conversation between the two made Zheng Liang's face turn blue and white, and the anger in his heart couldn't stop coming out.
He had thought that Su Qi'an might risk beheading and kill him desperately.
Who would have thought that this Su Qi'an would play such a big role that even if they both died, he would be buried with him in the entire moat.
If everything was really carried out according to Su Qi'an's plan, they would be buried in the moat, and no one would know anything about what happened inside.
Even though his grandfather was the Duke of the country and had all the power in the court, but he didn't even know how he died, how could he take revenge? It's a crappy revenge.
This Su Qian is not only ruthless, but also a fool at critical moments.
What is Zheng Liang's identity? Even if he really wants to die together with Su Qi'an, he can't die in an unknown manner.
As Su Qi'an said, it was Su Qi'an who benefited in the end, and maybe the court would posthumously make him a marquis.
As for himself, he is a marquis, and at most he is a county prince.
It is clear at a glance which one is more important between a dead county prince and a living county prince who enjoys all rights and has the support of the country's duke.
This is someone who is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. Zheng Liang will not let Su Qi'an get his wish.
Zheng Liang's eyes flashed rapidly, and he had a cold expression just now, but it changed back in the blink of an eye.
This guy can change his face as fast as a chameleon.
"Brother Su, why should you take it seriously? What I just said is just a test for Brother Su. This proves my vision. We are really lucky to have a talent like Brother Su."
"Mr. Zheng, it's better to stop talking about flattery and come out with the information. This matter will be over."
Su Qi'an was very straightforward, but this time Zheng Liang had no intention of getting angry. He nodded and quickly took out a letter from his arms.
He opened his mouth and said, "This is the information I have obtained. I will naturally share it with Brother Su, but I hope that Brother Su can keep his promise as to what happened today."
"Su knows nothing about today's events and has never met anyone."
Zheng Liang nodded with satisfaction, then hung the envelope on the arrow and shot an arrow towards Su Qi'an.
This arrow was extremely fast, and no one present believed it if it had no murderous intent.
Just when the arrow was about to hit Su Qi'an, Su Qi'an stretched out his palm and grabbed the arrow.
The caught arrow shook, and the force penetrated the arm without any sway. Su Qian's face remained calm.
Seeing this scene, the pupils of Zheng Liang's confidants tightened, and some kind of plan that had been rising in their hearts disappeared in an instant.
Zheng Liang's face looked good, and he smiled and made a hand gesture to Su Qi'an.
"The letter has been delivered. I will take my leave and wait for the war to end. If there is an opportunity in the future, I hope Brother Su can come to Kyoto to talk about it."
After saying this, Zheng Liang turned his horse's head and left quickly. Su Qi'an looked at Zheng Liang's leaving figure and glanced at the envelope on the arrow.
He didn't open it at all and handed it directly to Tong Zhan.
When Zheng Liang and others walked away, Tong Zhan, who had always been serious, showed fear for a while, looked at Su Qi'an and said.
Chapter completed!
