Chapter 1195 It’s Better to Be More Careful
Su BuTong met Zhao Chen for the first time today.
If Li Tai hadn't been captured by Zhao Chen, Su Butong would have let the army capture Zhao Chen as soon as he saw Zhao Chen.
Although he was just a weapon to kill rats, he was forced to follow Zhao Chen and others here.
But when he heard Zhao Chen trusting him so much, Su Butong felt extremely grateful.
Who would trust someone like Zhao Chen who was his opponent just now?
"Jun Gong Zhao has such trust in the general, so the general will naturally repay the favor."
"The general will ask the boy to come here later. I hope the Duke will not refuse."
"The general has another request, that is, he hopes that the Duke can do his best to repay the other son of the general." Su BuTong and Zhao Chen deeply bowed their hands.
Cheng Guangda's expression softened slightly, but his eyes looked at Zhao Chen with some surprise.
Cheng Guangda knew about Su BuTong.
He cared very much about his two sons, and just now Zhao Chen said there was no need for Su Butong to send his sons over.
Su BuTong could have easily agreed.
Unexpectedly, Su BuTong insisted on sending his youngest son here.
"General Su's entrustment, Zhao Chen will definitely remember it in his heart." Zhao Chen nodded.
"General, there is someone outside claiming to be General Su's personal soldier. He said that Zhongshu ordered Kong Yingda to send his son Kong Zhixuan over to invite General Su to the Zhongshu Provincial Government Office to discuss matters."
As soon as Zhao Chen finished speaking, Cheng Guangda's soldiers shouted outside.
The expressions of several people changed slightly. Although Kong Yingda would definitely come to find Su BuTong, they did not expect that it would be as fast as Zhao Chen said.
Su BuTong looked at Zhao Chen, waiting for his order.
"General Su, go ahead. It's up to General Masu to get Kong Yingda's trust."
"If this chaos can be quelled, Zhao Chen will definitely tell your majesty about the general's contribution." Zhao Chen and Su BuTong said while cupping their hands.
Su Butong showed joy on his face.
Although it was his first time meeting Zhao Chen, he also knew that Zhao Chen kept his promise.
If Zhao Chen sponsors him, not only can his life be saved, but he might even find a good place to go.
"The general will definitely fulfill his mission!" Su Butong clasped fists with Zhao Chen and turned to leave.
Li Tai was left standing aside, completely at a loss.
If he remembered correctly, Su BuTong was originally his confidant, otherwise he would not have dared to hand over the Six Guards of Nanya to Su BuTong's control.
But how long had it passed before Su Butong completely fell under Zhao Chen's command?
Or in front of yourself?
Li Tai glanced at Zhao Chen, and suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.
"Jun Gong Zhao is really powerful. Just now I was worried that Su Bubu would be worried and eventually report to Kong Yingda."
"I never thought that Duke Zhao would win Su BuTong's heart with just a few words."
"Cheng is really impressed. No wonder the general always says that Duke Zhao is a great talent in the world every time he talks about it." Cheng Guangda saw Su BuTong leaving, with a hint of astonishment on his face, and said with a smile to Zhao Chen.
Although with a hint of flattery.
But Cheng Guangda was really shocked.
In just a few words, Zhao Chen won over Su BuTong and even asked Su BuTong to ask for his son to be sent as a hostage.
If it were him, Cheng Guangda, he would definitely not be able to do this.
"General Cheng is ridiculous, General Su just has no other choice." Zhao Chen shook his head with a smile.
"Zhao Da, please stop being modest. Uncle Da will not praise others easily. Since Uncle Da has said so, it must be amazing." Cheng Chumo said with a smile.
He didn't expect that today would go so smoothly.
Originally, I was worried about a conflict with Su Dong and that the news would be leaked to Kong Yingda.
Unexpectedly, everything went smoothly.
Now they just have to wait for tomorrow night.
…
"Where has General Su gone?" This was the first thing Kong Zhixuan said when he saw Su BuTong.
He had been waiting here for a long time. The soldiers from Nanya kept asking him to wait for Su BuTong.
But it really made Kong Zhixuan a little annoyed.
"Something happened just now. The young master came to see this general for something important." Su Butong was a little unhappy.
Although he and Kong Yingda were loyal to Li Tai before, he never said that he, Su Bu, wanted to act based on Kong Yingda's face.
What's more, the person in front of him is Kong Zhixuan, Kong Yingda's son. ??
"Father asked General Su to go to Zhongshu Province to discuss matters." Kong Zhixuan also keenly sensed that something was wrong with Su BuTong.
It's not like he hasn't been here before.
Su BuTong was quite friendly to me at that time.
Only a few days later, the attitude has changed so much.
In addition, Su Butong had not returned for a long time, so Kong Zhixuan was inevitably a little suspicious.
But Kong Zhixuan also had a clear mind and would not express his concerns in front of Su Butong.
"I know." Su Butong said calmly and walked back to his tent.
Kong Zhixuan frowned, and he felt more and more that Su Butong was a little strange.
…
Zhongshu Provincial Yamen.
Kong Yingda was leaning on the soft pillow, and the slightest bit of cold wind blew into the room, causing the candlelight to sway slightly.
"Father, General Su is here." Kong Zhixuan, his face flushed from the cold, walked into the room and said to Kong Yingda.
"What took so long?" Kong Yingda frowned.
It was already midnight, and the Beiya Forbidden Army was adjacent to the imperial city. It took such a long time that two trips back and forth were enough.
"When I arrived at the Nanya military camp, I didn't see Su Bubutong. I waited for half an hour."
"Father, I think Su Butong is a little strange." Kong Zhi
Xuan was silent for a moment, talking to Kong Yingda about his feelings.
"Why is it strange?" Kong Yingda's eyes narrowed slightly.
He didn't quite understand what Kong Zhixuan meant when he said Su Butong was a little strange.
"When the kid went to Su BuTong's house before, Su BuTong was very friendly to the kid. But just now, the kid waited for him there for half an hour without saying a word."
"Su BuTong also looks impatient with children."
"My child is worried whether Su Butong has ulterior motives."
"Father, you should be more careful when you see him later." Kong Zhixuan and Kong Yingda whispered.
Kong Yingda's face sank slightly.
His son will definitely not lie to him.
Since he noticed something strange about Su BuTong, there must be something wrong with Su BuTong.
"You lead people to ambush in the dark and listen to your father's orders."
"If he, Su Bu, has two minds, don't blame me for killing him." Kong Yingda said slowly with a gloomy face.
"The last general, Su BuTong, will see Kong Zhongshu." Su BuTong waited for a moment before seeing Kong Yingda kneeling on the cushion.
He stepped forward to greet him, but he only saw Kong Yingda and himself waving casually.
"Thank you for inviting General Su over late at night!" Kong Yingda narrowed his eyes slightly and said differently from Su.
Su Butong smiled and shook his head: "Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is missing, the affairs of the court are all on Kong Zhongshu alone."
"The last general has no ability and cannot help Confucius Zhongshu worry about it. But if Confucius Zhongshu gives orders, the last general will definitely go through fire and water."
Su BuTong and Kong Yingda expressed their loyalty.
If it weren't for what Kong Zhixuan said before, Kong Yingda would definitely be extremely happy.
But at this moment, Kong Yingda just nodded slightly.
"General Su, I just heard from Zhixuan that he has been waiting in your army for a long time."
"Where was General Su during that half hour?" Kong Yingda suddenly raised his head and looked at Su BuTong.
