Chapter 373: Coming and Going in a Hurry

Previous Chapter

Su Chen boarded Tao Yi's carriage, and the two of them sat in the carriage, meeting each other at close range, looking at each other.

Tao Yi first instructed the coachman to walk out of the two streets casually, and give them a time to talk, but the car did not move, attracting attention, and it was a little inconvenient.

Under the night dome, two carriages drove slowly, one in front of the other.

"Master Tao, please say it directly." Su Chen asked.

Tao Yi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's not a secret, Tao is the deputy envoy of the Song State envoys, and it is indeed a little inappropriate to make an appointment with you alone." However, Tao is so eager to see each other, there are two main points, one is to cherish talents, sincerely admire Su Gongzi's talent, placed in the territory of the Song Kingdom, he can definitely be called the premier young man, so in terms of talent and knowledge, Tao intends to make friends. ”

Su Chen nodded slightly, he didn't say anything, he didn't believe it, the other party was because of his own fame, he simply came to literature to discuss, as the deputy envoy of the envoy group, he must have other tasks in his body, and he talked mostly about helping.

Tao Yi paused, and saw that Su Chen's face was calm, and he was not complacent when he heard this kind of evaluation like ordinary talents, or he became high, but it was plain and natural, which made Tao Yi secretly praise, this son is not simple!

"The second point, Tao plans to explain frankly to Su Gongzi, the fact that you were ambushed on the way to Jinling a few days ago was definitely not done by Wu Desi, this matter, there should be someone else, who plans to get rid of you, and by the way, blame me for the Song Kingdom, so that it is inconvenient for the lord of the court to delve into it."

Su Chen was a little surprised, he didn't expect Tao Yi to mention this matter and explain this to him; It stands to reason that the Song State is a state, and how arrogant the envoy is, even if he wants to explain, he will explain it to the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he will never explain it to Bai Ding, who has no title or status, to explain it personally.

Seeing the change in his expression, Tao Yi seemed to be a little suspicious, and asked, "What, Su Gongzi can't believe Tao's words?" ”

Su Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "I just think that Lord Tao doesn't need to explain these words to a person like me who has no title or identity." ”

Tao Yi learned that he had this doubt, and said with a smile: "Su Gongzi doesn't have to be arrogant, although you have no merit at present, but, with your talent, it is not difficult to get a top student, and the future is naturally limitless." ”

"Master Tao has won the award, and Su is really not sure about Qiuqiu, but he doesn't dare to boast about Haikou!" Su Chen was still a little weak-hearted.

Tao Yi thought that he was really modest, but he attached great importance to Su's talented but unclear and arrogant quality.

"Actually, there is another thing, which was ordered by the imperial court before Tao was sent as an envoy, and it is related to Gongzi."

"Something to do with me?" Su Chen was stunned.

Tao Yi asked, "Has Su Gongzi developed a way to deal with smallpox that can fight against smallpox?" ”

"It's true!" Su Chen agreed.

Tao Yi nodded and said: "That's right, the Central Plains in the north, the area is very wide, far larger than the Tang Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River, and smallpox disease has appeared in some places, I hope that Gongzi can write out the methods and prescriptions for the treatment of smallpox, and also benefit the people in the north, what do you think?" ”

"Is it for nothing? Don't you have any silver? After Su Chen asked, he said to himself: "These methods and prescriptions, only what I have in my hand can be suitable for the symptoms of the north, for the sake of saving people, I can sell the patent to Song Guo, but I have to buy it with some silver, it is not easy for me to come up with a prescription!" ”

At this time, Su Chen completely lost the temperament of a gentle and talented man, and directly revealed the nature of a businessman.

Tao Yi was stunned: "You want silver?" ”

Su Chen nodded, and said as a matter of course: "Don't you use the honorarium to buy things, your country is rich in products, rich in land, and full of treasury, this little money will not be stingy, right?" ”

Tao Yi's face changed, and it was difficult to connect Jiang Zuo Sulang, who was just a noble character, with Su Chen, who was full of silver at this time.

If you need to spend money, Tao Yi thinks that it is better to ask the Tang court directly, with Li Yu's soft nature, he will not dare to disobey the Song State, and he will definitely offer his son with both hands, and at that time, the Tang court will ask Su Chen to see how he can refuse?

Tao Yi planned to avoid this topic first, and asked: "Young Master Su, when you have the ability to judge the situation and size up the situation, you should also be able to see that the unification of the north and south of the Song Kingdom is the trend of the times, and the final fate of the Tang Kingdom will not be much better, have you ever considered finding an opportunity to cross the river and go north to the Song Kingdom to develop a foothold and avoid the suffering of war?" ”

Su Chen hesitated, he still struggled a little about whether to go to the Northern Song Dynasty, but when he first crossed over, he planned to find a way to go to the Northern Song Dynasty, but now that he has taken root in the Southern Tang Dynasty, he has people he likes, relatives and friends, and he doesn't want to leave.

Although the Southern Tang Dynasty was unable to compete with the Northern Song Dynasty in history, there were only ten years, but the historical weirdness may not be able to change.

"I haven't thought about it for the time being, because the roots in the south of the Yangtze River are in the south of the Yangtze River, if there is a chance in the future, I will go to Bianjing in the Great Song Dynasty to see the opportunity."

Su Chen didn't completely say it to death, after all, the future is unpredictable.

Tao Yi was about to say something, but suddenly at this time, dozens of crossbow arrows shot over and nailed them outside the carriage with a pop.

"Boom!"

The guards drew their blades to protect the vehicle.

"Protect your lordship!" More than a dozen guards surrounded the carriage for protection.

Hearing this commotion, Su Chen was a little puzzled, thinking to himself who was coming to assassinate, was it for Tao Yi, or did he come by himself?

Several shadow killers had approached and began to engage with the guards outside the car, these assassins were very skilled, and in an instant, Tao Yi's guards could not parry.

However, Bai Lang and Peng Jingqing had already rushed over to help the guards fight back.

Su Chen helped Tao Yi get out of the carriage and picked up a knife in his hand for personal defense.

Suddenly, a ghostly figure descended from the sky, with good light skills and sharp swordsmanship, directly from top to bottom, attacking Tao Yi's head.

Su Chen can't see death without help, let alone being with him, if he dies, he will be speechless, in case he is traitored, he will be accused of colluding with assassins and killing the envoy of the Song Kingdom, then he will be wronged.

"Dangdang!"

After the black-clothed man's blade collided with Su Chen's blade, there was a crisp sound.

"Huh?" After the man in black saw Su Chen, he was obviously taken aback, and then his body retreated, between his eyebrows, he showed hesitation and hesitation, and then spit out a word: Withdraw!

The rest of the black-clothed assassins were all dumbfounded when they heard this, how could this good assassination plan be suddenly canceled, the situation is still controllable!

However, their leader had already fled far away, and no one dared to disobey the order, so they immediately began to withdraw.
