Zhao Chen was still a little surprised when he saw Su Dingfang again.
After all, it had only been a short time since he left, so there was no need for Su Dingfang to come so soon.
It wasn't until Su Dingfang told Zhao Chen about the situation where he was stationed that Zhao Chen understood.
"The Tubo assassins infiltrated among the Tubo people who were building roads, obtained the weapons of your soldiers from the Tubo craftsmen, and killed dozens of Tubo people, right!" Zhao Chen briefly summarized some of the information he had obtained.
Su Dingfang nodded.
But that will be the case soon.
He feels like he has a headache now.
If he had any other way, he would not come here to ask Zhao Chen for help.
"Your Majesty, the Duke has clearly learned that this is the case!" Su Dingfang and Zhao Chen responded.
"Okay, I already know that you can't stay here for too long. I will go there in person tomorrow." Zhao Chen nodded, indicating that Su Dingfang could go back.
"Your Excellency, are you going tomorrow?" Su Dingfang hesitated for a moment, and it seemed that he had something to say to Zhao Chen.
"If I don't go, I'm afraid this matter won't be rectified!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"But Your Majesty, I think that this attack and killing incident should be a conspiracy of the Tubo people, just to let Your Majesty go wherever you want."
"Forgive me for being incompetent. I only know that there are assassins hidden among the people, but I don't know how many assassins there are."
"If they assassinate the Duke, I'm afraid I won't be able to..." Su Ding looked worried.
Su Dingfang was also thinking about how the Tibetan assassins worked so hard to cause destruction in their base.
They even did not hesitate to attack and kill their own Tibetan compatriots.
If it was just for chaos, they could assassinate the Tang soldiers.
Doing this is nothing more than forcing Zhao Chen to go there.
Once Zhao Chen goes, do they need to think more about what they will do?
What happened in Hushi Town will never happen again.
This time, as long as there is a chance, Zhao Chen will definitely die.
Now that Zhao Chen wants to take the initiative to go there, isn't that just sending him to death?
Su Dingfang felt that if he didn't persuade Zhao Chen, he would be tricked to death by him.
If something happened to Zhao Chen, or at his station in Su Dingfang, the emperor would not be allowed to chop him with a knife?
"You don't have to worry about these things. I have my own way. Now go back and appease those people. If anyone makes trouble again, they will all be executed on the spot!" Zhao Chen waved his hand.
…
"Lord Zamp, fifty people who were building roads for the Tang Dynasty died in the hands of our assassins three days ago."
"And by mistake, we obtained the weapons of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Now all the evidence points to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty attacking and killing our people."
"The road has been stopped for construction, and half of the people are surrounding the Tang army station, waiting for them to give an explanation."
"Su Dingfang went to Zhao Chen's place yesterday and returned quickly, but there was no movement at all."
"I'm guessing whether Zhao Chen is going to Su Dingfang's place."
In Luoche City, Tubo Dalun and Songtsen Gampo reported.
He also looked a little excited.
In their plan, as long as Zhao Chen went to Su Dingfang's place, he would definitely go see the cement road being built.
At the same time, their assassins hidden among the Tubo people had enough opportunities to kill Zhao Chen.
Now, all it takes is Zhao Chen to leave.
"Finally there is good news." A hint of joy appeared on Songtsen Ganbu's face.
These days, he has been negotiating with the envoys from the Dashi Country.
The situation that Tibet is facing now is very bad.
Either Tubo and the Tang Dynasty surrendered, or he could unite with the Shiguo Kingdom and launch an attack on the Tang Dynasty.
Later, the territory of the Tang Dynasty was equally divided.
Songtsen Gampo was an ambitious man, otherwise he would not have been able to unify the entire plateau region in just a few years.
Nor would he launch an attack on Songzhou in the Tang Dynasty without hesitation.
The only thing that made Songtsen Gampo feel desperate was that Zhao Chen suddenly appeared in the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, they also came up with such a big killer weapon as the sky-blasting cannon.
But Songtsen Gampo was once beaten to the point of autistic.
Now, it seems that there is another chance to kill Zhao Chen.
Even if not, maybe he can cooperate with the Great Food Kingdom and invade the Tang Dynasty...
"Let's go ahead with the arrangement. Whenever we see Zhao Chen appear, we will kill him with one blow regardless of the consequences."
"As long as Zhao Chen is killed, their tribes can all become tribes close to this Zampo." Songtsen Gampo said, with a rather confident look on his face.
"Yes!" Tubo Dalun also smiled, as if he had seen Zhao Chen die at the hands of the assassin they arranged.
…
"Boy Zhao, I told you last time that I will never agree to your inspection of road construction."
"Don't force me to have someone tie you up!" Niu Jinda almost yelled at Zhao Chen.
He had previously disagreed with Zhao Chen going to Su Dingfang's place.
Niu Jinda believed that it would be safest for him, Zhao Chen, to stay here.
If he didn't stay here, then Zhao Chen should go back to Chang'an.
Where to go to Su Dingfang?
Doesn't this give those Tibetan assassins an opportunity?
"If I don't go, the assassin won't show up, and there will be no way to build that road down. The emperor has spent so much money, if the road can't be built..."
"That's my business too. If Your Majesty blames me, chop off my head. You, Zhao Chen, have to live!" Niu Jinda interrupted Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen couldn't find the words to refute Lao Niutou for a while.
The old Niutou has talked to this point, what else can he say?
"Brother Jinda, Zhao Chen can't stay here forever. If the problem with Su Dingfang is not solved, he will have to stay here."
"I heard, Chen, that the disaster relief situation in Qianzhou and Guizhou is very good, and the disaster relief team will return to Chang'an soon."
"Zhao Chen can't stay here all his life, how long can you protect him?" Liu Lan suddenly said to Niu Jinda in a slow voice.
Niu Jinda looked slightly sluggish.
He naturally knew what Liu Lan meant by this.
Once the prince returns to Chang'an, he will inevitably take action against Zhao Chen because of the previous rumors.
Zhao Chen will not have any ability to fight back if he stays here.
Even if Niu Jinda protects Zhao Chen, does Niu Jinda still dare to rebel?
That way Zhao Chen would die faster.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs.
This sentence is extremely applicable whether Zhao Chen is going to Su Dingfang or returning to Chang'an City in the future.
In the whirlpool, no one like them can survive alone.
"But Su Dingfang's place is really too dangerous. Su Dingfang is not a mediocre person. Even he doesn't know how many assassins are mixed in there. As long as Zhao Chen appears, life or death will only be a matter of seconds." Niu Jinda said solemnly.
He also knew that he could not protect Zhao Chen for the rest of his life.
Not to mention him, a small commander of the border army, even the emperor would eventually be unable to protect others.
Zhao Chen can't stay here forever.
Once the prince used this disaster relief effort to gather the power in the court, Zhao Chen would be like the fat on the chopping board.
You can only let others slaughter you.
At that time, even if the emperor was still there, there probably wouldn't be anything he could do.
"You can go, I will take the army with you!" After a long silence, Niu Jinda made up his mind.
