Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 892 Chang'an

With his hands behind his back, Su Cheng walked leisurely outside the palace.

"Meet Duke Rong!"

Su Cheng turned his head to look, smiled and said, "Oh, it's Ma Yushi! Happy Chinese New Year, Ma Yushi!"

Ma Zhou, known as Little Wei Zheng, is not only upright like Wei Zheng, but also highly praised for his talent.

Now Ma Zhou has a high official position in the court, but Ma Zhou came from a poor family, so he didn't have much contact with the nobles in the court, so Su Cheng didn't know him well at all.

Ma Zhou laughed and said, "I heard that the Duke and Minister Wei made a bet. I don't know if it's true or not?"

Su Cheng nodded with a smile and said, "That's the case. Zheng Guogong did make a bet with me."

Ma Zhou laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I have also heard about it from Prime Minister Wei, Duke, speaking of it, it's been a year, and it seems like spring will begin soon!"

Wei Zheng was not in a hurry, but Ma Zhou was in a hurry first. Su Cheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Although I made a bet with Zheng Guogong, I didn't take this bet seriously."

Ma Zhou said sternly, "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Since it is a bet, you must take it seriously. If you regret that it was not done by a gentleman, the Duke's reputation will be praised by the government and the public. How can this bet tarnish your good name?"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Ma Yushi misunderstood, I'm not afraid of going back and ruining my reputation, I just think that Zheng Guogong is a famous official in the world, with high morals and high prestige, I really can't bear it if I go to my house to apologize!"

Ma Zhou was speechless after hearing this, did Su Cheng think he was sure to win?

But now that the new year's festival has passed, and spring will begin soon, there is no news of Goguryeo sending troops.

Isn't Su Cheng a dead duck?Do you want to keep procrastinating, and then everyone forgets about it?

But everyone is not old and confused, how could they forget?

Ma Zhou said with a smile: "Winter snow has just melted, and the earth has returned to spring. Does the Duke still insist on his own opinion?"

"Hurry up, be patient, and wait a little longer!" Su Cheng said with a smile, and walked forward with his hands behind his back, as if he was holding the winning ticket.

Ma Zhou didn't remind Su Cheng again, he wanted to see how long Su Cheng could procrastinate, sooner or later he would write a letter to apologize, why wait any longer?

After leaving the palace, Su Cheng rode out of the city on horseback, preparing to go to the Shenji Camp for inspection. After the New Year's Eve, the training of the Shenji Camp had to start.

A war is coming, and if the emperor himself conquers, he will definitely bring the Shenjiying to accompany him.

As the saying goes, it's too late to sharpen your guns before the battle, not to mention that the Shenji Battalion has been working hard all the time, but it can't be slack when it's time to go out.

Chang'an City was very lively, and the city gate was bustling with people jostling each other. Just as Su Cheng squeezed out of the city with great effort, he saw dozens of horses galloping slowly in front of him.

Their costumes are very different from those of the Tang people, and they are not from the Tang Dynasty at first glance.

However, the surrounding people were already familiar with Fan Guo people, so they didn't pay much attention.

But Su Cheng looked at them with great interest. Fanren came to Datang for nothing more than sightseeing, studying or doing business, so they should look very happy to come to Chang'an.

But this group of people looked anxious, as if they were very anxious to enter the city, but there were too many people on the road, so they couldn't gallop their horses.

After observing for a while, Su Cheng couldn't help but feel moved. Could this group of people be the envoys of Silla?

But why does it look like the leader is a woman?

Could this woman be the Queen of Silla?

Could it be that Silla has already been captured, so he went directly to Datang?

Silla is too unruly, right?

It's just that this woman looks a bit young, at most 20 years old. Is the Queen of Silla so young?

I didn't expect the Queen of Silla to be quite beautiful. It's a pity to hear that the Queen of Silla can only live alone forever!

Su Cheng didn't leave in a hurry, but urged his horse back to the city gate.

The soldiers at the city gate hurried up to greet them, and said respectfully, "Duke, what else do you want?"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Ask where the group of people came from."

The soldiers quickly looked at the group of people who were queuing up to enter the city, ran over and waved: "Come here!"

Jin Shengman and his party came forward with some surprises leading the horse, which made Jin Wenzhi speak in official Chinese: "We are the envoys of Silla, and we are envoys to the Tang Dynasty under the order of the king. It's our document."

The soldiers took the documents and looked at them without even reading them. They held them directly in front of Su Cheng, and said respectfully, "Duke, please have a look!"

Duke?Both Jin Shengman and Jin Wenzhi couldn't help but change their expressions slightly. The dignified Duke is still guarding the city gate?

Su Cheng glanced casually, nodded and said, "Let them enter the city!"

The soldiers at the city gate respectfully agreed and watched Su Cheng pat his horse away.

"Okay, you can enter the city!" The soldier waved.

Jin Shengman, Jin Wenzhi and the others couldn't help being slightly taken aback when they heard this. They thought they would be in trouble when they were called just now, but they didn't expect that the Duke would let them enter the city so happily.

This duke is really kind, no wonder he became a duke at such a young age.

Jin Wenzhi asked curiously: "Which Duke is this? He's so young!"

The soldier said proudly: "Of course it is Duke Rong! Besides Duke Rong, where else is there such a young Duke in the whole world?"

Duke Rong?

Jin Shengman and Jin Wenzhi couldn't help but change their expressions. It turned out to be Rong Guogong?

That person just now turned out to be Duke Rong?

Is it Yuan Gai Suwen's best friend of that dog thief, Duke Rong?

Just now they thought the Duke was a good man, but they didn't expect it to be the big traitor Su Cheng!

Yes, Jin Shengman, Jin Wenzhi, and even the entire Silla people believed that Su Cheng was a big traitor.

Because they already knew that the reason why Goguryeo dared to aggressively attack them in Silla was because Yuangai Suwen relied on the support of Su Cheng, a powerful minister of the Tang Dynasty, and was not afraid that the Tang Dynasty would pursue it.

And when they came to ask Datang for help on this trip, the biggest obstacle was undoubtedly Su Cheng, the big traitor.

I didn't expect to meet Su Cheng, a big traitor, as soon as I entered Chang'an.

In fact, they should have thought of such a young Duke, how could Datang have a second one?

Jin Wenzhi pondered: "This Rong Guogong is really young, and he looks upright, he doesn't look like a treacherous person! Perhaps, those rumors are all false, and we can invite the boss if our trip goes smoothly. Help Tang!"

Jin Shengman shook his head and said, "You don't know what you look like. If you know people, you don't know your heart! Gao Jianwu is not a fool. He has always been extremely afraid of Datang. If there is no support from Datang, how would he have the guts to attack us in Silla?"

"So the rumor must be true, prepare for the worst! I must meet this Rong Guogong for a while to see if his heart is dark!"
