The temporary crisis seemed to be resolved, and Cheng Guangda's sudden retreat made Kong Yingda feel very happy.
"General Su, Cheng Guangda must have seen you stay here, so he dare not make any rash moves."
"Today's matter is also settled. I will hold a banquet for the general at the Secretariat Office later. Thank you for standing up for justice." Kong Yingda said with a smile to Su Duo.
Su Bin nodded.
He also knew that he had no way to refuse Kong Yingda's arrangement.
Now he didn't know where Zhao Chen had gone, and he definitely did not dare to make any other random moves.
Cheng Guangda did not expose his conspiracy between Su Duo and Zhao Chen just now, which made Su Duo still scared.
"Then I would like to thank Kong Zhongshu." Su Duan said with a smile.
"It's okay."
"Now that Cheng Guangda retreated due to difficulties, it means that Zhao Chen has no other backup plan."
"It is only a matter of time to find his trace in Chang'an City."
"As long as you take down Zhao Chen and save His Highness the Crown Prince, the General and I are both heroes of the country. His Highness the Crown Prince will not forget the General." Kong Yingda said, turning his horse's head into the imperial city.
Su Duo drove the horse and followed behind him.
"What Kong Zhongshu said is that he has never seen Zhao Chen's traces, which is really strange." Su Duo said what he said was in his heart.
He even doubted whether Zhao Chen had already sneaked into the imperial city.
But this kind of doubt is completely out of the question.
Although the imperial city is extremely huge, even a bird can't enter it quietly in the defense everywhere.
Zhao Chen is good at ease, but no matter how capable he is, it is too difficult to enter such a vigilant imperial city.
"It's really strange, but it's absolutely impossible to enter the imperial city with three steps and five steps." Kong Yingda was extremely confident about his arrangements in the imperial city.
He believed that he had so many people under him.
How can you stop Zhao Chen who wants to sneak into the imperial city?
If Zhao Chen is really allowed to enter the imperial city, then Kong Yingda might as well die directly.
"Kong Zhongshu's words are reasonable. Now he is just waiting to find Zhao Chen and the others in Chang'an City, and then catch them all in one go." Su Duo smiled, but he felt a little confused about what he was thinking.
...
"Sir, the student is here." Wei Shuyu entered Shangshi Bureau in the dark and whispered to the empty room.
"Hey, here!" Cheng Chumo jumped out from the side, scaring Wei Shuyu.
"Cao..." Wei Shuyu's face turned pale.
Cheng Chumo didn't know where he got, and his face was covered with ash on his face, making Zhang Fei look like a black man.
Wei Shuyu was so scared that he retreated repeatedly.
"Look at your timid look." Cheng Chumo grabbed Wei Shuyu.
Zhao Chen and Qin Huaiyu came out from the side and walked to the middle of the room.
"Sir!" Wei Shuyu and Zhao Chen shouted.
"Kong Yingda will hold a banquet later, and the Shang Food Bureau is responsible for the food. We will get into the team." Zhao Chen did not talk nonsense with Wei Shuyu.
Instead, he directly informed Wei Shuyu of his plans.
"What do sir need students to do?" Wei Shuyu nodded and asked Zhao Chen.
"Change the eunuch's clothes, and you will go to deliver the food later. We will follow you and enter the Secretariat's Office." Zhao Chen said.
Among the few people, Wei Shuyu's face was clean and had no beards, which saved him the trouble of shaving his beard.
It is very convenient for him to mix into the eunuchs who deliver the dishes.
"No problem." Wei Shuyu nodded.
He trusted Zhao Chen very much.
Wei Shuyu will resolutely implement whatever Zhao Chen asked him to do.
"Sir, are there only a few of us?"
"There are many people around Kong Yingda, and the Su from the Six Guards of the Southern Yamen..."
"Su Duan is our person!" Zhao Chen interrupted Wei Shuyu's concern.
"Our people?" Wei Shuyu was stunned.
If this sentence was not said from Zhao Chen, Wei Shuyu would definitely not believe it.
Su Duan is Li Tai's man, when did he become Zhao Chen's man again?
Even though Zhao Chen said this, Wei Shuyu still felt a little unbelievable.
"Sir, what you said is true..."
"Let's talk about these things later. Prepare them. There are eunuchs' clothes next to them, and they will come soon." Zhao Chen waved his hand and pointed at the clothes beside him.
Wei Shuyu was full of doubts, but he still obediently changed into eunuch's clothes.
After a while, the door of Shangshi Bureau was pushed open.
"Where are people?"
"Mr. Zhongshu has spoken. Today's dishes must be rich, otherwise you will not be spared."
A soldier broke into the Shangshi Bureau and shouted loudly.
But I only saw a few people standing in front of me.
Just as he was about to get angry, Qin Huaiyu came over and said with his back, "The eunuchs from Shangshi Bureau have all run away. We were temporarily dispatched by the Fire Head Army of the Zuo Shenwu Guard."
"The Fire Head Army of the Zuo Shenwu Guard?" the soldier frowned.
He dared not offend Zuo Shenwu Guard, because he was the army responsible for the guards of the imperial city.
It is also considered Kong Yingda's confidant force today.
But I dare not offend.
"No matter what, Shen Shishi was ready and delivered to the Secretariat's Office."
"If Lord Zhongshu is angry, he will not care where you come from."
"snort!"
Leave a few words, the soldier turned around and left.
...
The banquet preparation takes time.
But you can go to the singing and dancing first.
Kong Yingda was in a good mood today and gathered all the officials who were imprisoned in the imperial city at the Secretariat.
Whether they are willing to come here or not, they are all pulled by force.
Many officials sat in the seats without saying a word, with a gloomy face.
"Mr. Zhongshu, today I have been so happy. Cheng Guangda has already brought people back to the Beiya camp."
"I think I don't dare to go against Lord Zhongshu."
"Master Zhongshu is still alive, so I wish you a glass." A flattering spirit raised his wine glass and spoke to Kong Yingda.
"Haha, I also thank you for your blessings. Everyone, drink this cup full of money." Kong Yingda said with a smile.
He was in a good mood today and even regretted letting his son leave Chang'an and go back to Ludi.
Many ministers raised their glasses, but some did not move.
Kong Yingda didn't care. As long as Li Tai could come back, Li Tai would become the emperor in Chang'an by then, and Kong Yingda would be the biggest contributor.
These bastards who don't care about him have to go back to the countryside to farm.
"Mr. Zhongshu, I haven't seen Zhao Chen's traces these days. Is there any news about him?"
"You said, he won't run into the imperial city, right?" someone asked suddenly.
The rest of the people were also tilted.
For them, the biggest uncertainty factor is Zhao Chen.
This person is really too difficult to deal with.
The entire Tang Dynasty seemed to be completely in Zhao Chen's hands.
Which minister dares to sing a counter-tune with Zhao Chen?
Now that Zhao Chen suddenly disappeared, it was impossible for everyone to say that he was not worried.
"Zhao Chen is just a turtle in a jar. It would be fine if he didn't enter the imperial city. If he came in, he would have no way to heaven and no way to earth."
"I just happen to have a lot of accounts, so I have to calculate with him."
