Chapter 600: Just Kill Zhao Chen
After eating some food at the banquet, Niu Jinda was silent for a while.
He suddenly looked at Zhao Chen and asked, "Brother Zhao, I have also heard of the rumors. What do you think?"
When he heard Niu Jinda ask about this, Liu Lan also put down his chopsticks, and he was also very curious about it.
After all, the identity of the prince seems to have become a mystery now.
When rumors spread, the emperor not only did not make any moves to confront the rumors.
Instead, Zhao Chen and Prince Li Chengqian were thrown into two places.
This is even more puzzling. Is the rumors spreading true or false?
Even in the army, many people have begun to discuss this matter these days.
When I saw Zhao Chen just now, the expressions of many generals changed differently.
If Zhao Chen's identity is confirmed, then they are now...
On the way here, Zhao Chen expected Niu Jinda to ask about this.
But he himself didn't know it, and he had to wait until he returned to Chang'an City and asked Uncle Fu that he could understand this matter clearly.
How do you ask him to answer now?
"Uncle Niu, this matter is just a rumor spread by the Tubo people, and there is nothing to guess."
"It's a pity that Li Chengqian and I didn't work in Chang'an, so they could only focus on the mutual market."
"On the way here, I heard that a small army in Tubo attacked the merchants of my Tang Dynasty in the town yesterday, and dozens of soldiers died." Zhao Chen spoke slowly, his face a little cold.
Hearing this, Niu Jinda's brows furrowed.
The chopsticks in his hand were slapped on the table and scolded coldly: "The Tubo people are not trustworthy and have agreed to trade together, but they dare to send people to attack and kill our Tang Dynasty merchants and soldiers."
"If I can find them, I will definitely cut them alive!"
"Brother Jinda calm down and sit down." Liu Lan quickly grabbed Niu Jinda and pressed him into his seat.
"Zhao Chen, you have many ideas. Is there any way to deal with them?" Niu Jinda asked Zhao Chen.
Niu Jinda didn't want to go over and take revenge on the Tubo merchants who traded in the town.
But if he did this, the emperor would be furious.
Only when attacking ordinary people can they do such despicable things only when they reach the extreme incompetence.
Niu Jinda did it, and what awaited him was the imperial edict that killed him.
Li Shimin is very generous in other aspects, but in this regard, if someone dares to cross the line, he will definitely be thunder.
"I'm going to go to the town tomorrow. Uncle Niu, you will send news to the public and say that I want to inspect the situation of the trade."
"Businessmen from both countries must be greeted on the street!" Zhao Chen smiled faintly and said.
"Why?" Niu Jinda was stunned for a moment and did not react.
Liu Lan also looked at Zhao Chen with a curious look on her face.
It would be fine if Zhao Chen went to inspect, but he had to release the news with great fanfare, because he was afraid that others would not know that he was here?
Or have no intention?
"Uncle Niu, do you think why did the Tubo army suddenly attack us yesterday?" Zhao Chen asked with a smile.
"Of course, they had no food, so they came to grab things..." Niu Jinda frowned.
He saw the smile on Zhao Chen's face and knew that his answer might not be very complete.
But he couldn't think of anything else.
"This is just one of them. The purpose of the Tubo army attacking was to force me to go to the town."
"Why?" Liu Lan frowned.
"I am the special envoy sent by His Majesty, in charge of big and small matters of trade. I cannot refuse to blame the attack on the Tang Dynasty merchants. If I don't go once, how can I explain it?"
"And as long as I go, they can attack me." Zhao Chen explained with a smile.
"You said, the Tubo people were going to attack you?" Niu Jindateng stood up.
"Then you still go!" Liu Lan looked at Zhao Chen suspiciously.
Isn’t this something that a brainless person does?
Even if Zhao Chen is looking for death, he should choose a more comfortable way.
"If I don't go, how can I catch them all in one go?" Zhao Chen smiled.
...
Although Niu Jinda was very worried, he still couldn't resist Zhao Chen.
He asked someone to go to the town and told me that Zhao Chen would come to inspect tomorrow.
Zhao Chen's arrival made the Tubo people in the town feel very angry.
If it weren't for Zhao Chen, why would they have to exchange the supplies of the Tang Dynasty merchants for ten times the price?
When I thought of delivering my caravans to the Tang Dynasty merchants, I only had a little bit of the things I brought back.
All the Tubo people wished to eat Zhao Chen's flesh and blood!
Now I heard that Zhao Chen was coming to inspect tomorrow, and many Tubo people sharpened their knives overnight.
"That Zhao Chen is coming tomorrow. When we rushed forward, we would definitely kill him!"
"I've just sharpened the knife and just waited for him to appear."
"That dog Zhao Chen has made us Tubo look like this, so we must not let him go."
"I thought Zhao Chen was kind-hearted before, but I didn't expect that he would be so vicious at such a young age."
"As soon as he appears tomorrow, we will rush over and kill him."
"It's not that simple. When Zhao Chen goes out, there must be someone protecting him. With us, it's impossible to even get close to him. Killing him is a joke!"
"What should I do? I can't..."
"If the army that attacked the Tang merchants yesterday was still there..."
A faint sigh came from the Tubo people.
At the same time, the Tubo team yesterday also received news that Zhao Chen was going to inspect Hushi Town tomorrow.
Mr. Xiao Qian of Tubo showed a ferocious look on his face.
He didn't expect that Zhao Chen would take the bait so quickly.
"Sir Xiao Qian, Zhao Chen has just arrived today and will patrol the town tomorrow. It seems that he is really not prepared at all!" A Tubo soldier said with a smile.
"Although Zhao Chen has some skills, he will definitely not know that we attacked the town yesterday, in fact, to force him to appear."
"Now, there's no need to spend more time!" Another person next to him showed a look of lust.
"Sir Xiao Qian, Zhao Chen inspected the town, there should be many guards around him. We may not be able to kill him!" Someone showed concern and questioned.
"What do you know? The Tubo warriors are not afraid of death and can definitely kill Zhao Chen!" someone retorted.
"But……"
"But what, you can't surrender to Tang State long ago!"
"I don't!"
The soldiers began to argue, and the quarrel made Tubo Xiao Qian feel a headache.
"Shut up." Mr. Xiao Qian shouted loudly, and everyone calmed down.
"Do you think it's just our team to attack Zhao Chen?" Mr. Xiao Qian sneered.
"Lord Zanpu personally ordered five teams of 200 people to prepare for assassination of Zhao Chen tomorrow!"
"One thousand people are enough to kill and injured Zhao Chen several times."
"Tomorrow, no one who stops us from attacking Zhao Chen will be left and will be killed."
