Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 375 New Decision
"So you're withdrawing?" Su Chen was a little surprised, how could this assassin's actions be so anticlimactic!

Are these assassins here to make a joke?
Su Chen watched the men in black flee away, feeling a little puzzled why they withdrew so quickly.However, he can be sure that this group of people should be targeting the envoy of the Song Dynasty, Dou Yi, because the swordsman's murderous aura has completely targeted Master Tao.

"Su Chen, are you not injured?"

Peng Qingqing ran over, pulled Su Chen's arm, and asked him repeatedly, her eyes looked around him, her concern was beyond words.

Su Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm fine, their target is not me, but Master Dou."

Hearing this, Dou Yi's expression changed, and she said with a trace of anger: "Who is so bold that he dares to assassinate the envoy of Song Dynasty, isn't he afraid of angering Song Guowei?"

Su Chen said calmly: "Perhaps, it is precisely because Master Dou is the envoy of the Song Kingdom that they will attack."

After hearing what he said, Dou Yi's face changed a few times, thinking of some possibilities.

Although the Song State is powerful, the southern princes, Northern Han, Khitan, Northwest Zhefu and other forces are all in a hostile relationship with the Song State. None of them hope that the envoys of the Song State can have smooth diplomatic relations in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Dou Yi was grateful, and said to Su Chen and the others: "Thanks to your help by your side tonight, the assassin was defeated, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

A chief guard stepped forward and said anxiously: "My lord, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, we should hurry back to the embassy post as soon as possible!"

Dou Yi nodded, and also felt that it would be dangerous to stay outside, she turned around and cupped her hands at Su Chen, and said, "The assassin committed an attack, the outside is not peaceful, Tao will go back to the post house immediately, let's talk about it another day."

Su Chen cupped his hands and said: "Master Dou, please go ahead, be careful along the way!"

"Yes, farewell!" After Dou Yi finished speaking, she resolutely boarded the carriage, escorted by the guards, and rushed to the posthouse. Nothing is more important than saving her life.

Su Chen showed doubts, and he was still guessing in his mind which side the assassin was from just now, who would attack the envoy of Song Dynasty.

As for his own danger, because there are two masters, Peng Qingqing and Bailang, he is not afraid.

"It's late at night, let's go back to the house too."

Su Chen took Peng Qingqing's hand, turned around and returned to the carriage.

"Su Chen, are they really targeting Lord Dou? They won't come to assassinate you again, will they?"

Peng Qingqing was very worried, so she was still asking Su Chen the truth.

Su Chen shook his head and said: "Probably not, I can feel the murderous intent of that man in black, he was indeed going towards Master Dou, and it should be to destroy the relationship between Song and Tang. At present, the Song Kingdom is using troops against the Shu Kingdom, and the Song Kingdom's envoys The purpose of coming to Jinling is to stabilize the royal family of the Tang Kingdom and our officials, not to allow aid to the Kingdom of Shu, and to allow the Kingdom of Song to swallow up the Kingdom of Shu and make it bigger and stronger. , this batch of assassins may be from Shu, Northern Han, Khitan, Northwest Zhefu, all of them are possible."

Peng Qingqing sighed: "The situation is too complicated."

"Well, this is the current situation in the world. Although my Tang Kingdom has been established for 30 years, there have been few wars in the territory, especially in the Jiangnan area, which has been peaceful for a long time. Many Jinling people do not know the cruelty of war. It's sad and deplorable when it's a prosperous age!"

Su Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion, what he saw and did in Runzhou and Jinling, seeing the singing and dancing in the south of the Yangtze River, he didn't feel the tension of the troubled times at the end of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, his state was too relaxed, how would he face the pressure of the Song army in the future?
"Do you mean that the Tang Dynasty will also face danger in the future, such as the invasion of foreign enemies and the attack of the Song army?" Peng Qingqing couldn't help asking.

Su Chen nodded and explained: "That's right, that's exactly what I was worried about. It's also the reason why I changed my original intention and decided to enter the official career through the imperial examination. I want to do something for the Tang Dynasty, protect my family and the country, and prevent Jiangnan from being ruined!"

"Is it really that serious?" Peng Qingqing was still skeptical.

Su Chen answered him patiently: "When Song State swallows up the surrounding vassal states one after another, the next target will be Tang State. At that time, hundreds of thousands of troops will be overwhelming, how can the Tang army in the south of the Yangtze River be able to resist? Once the country is broken, It is bound to perish. Many princes and nobles will be ransacked by the rebellious army. Many gentry and rich people may be purged overnight. They will be classified as rebels. At that time, the Bai family, Cao family, etc. may cease to exist."

Peng Qingqing showed concern: "Then sister Susu's family is in danger?"

Su Chen sighed: "It's hard to escape, unless you give up your wealth and escape earlier, you can save your life."

Peng Qingqing said angrily: "Then you still only want to make money, isn't it causing trouble for you?"

Su Chen said: "That's why I want to stand on Han Shilang's side, trying to influence the government's decision-making, to strengthen the Tang State, and to be able to counter the Song Army in the future!"

Peng Qingqing was silent for a long while, then suddenly raised her head, stared at Su Chen firmly, and said, "Then... can I join the army, learn some tactics of warfare, maybe I can help you in the future."

Su Chen looked at her strangely, to see if she was serious.

Peng Qingqing was embarrassed by him, and said a little cautiously: "Don't look at people like this, I don't understand poetry, songs, business, business, etc., and I have no interest in learning, but practicing martial arts is my hobby. There is also some yearning for soldiers to fight, just like Princess Zhao Min, leading a group of heroes can also do some great things."

Su Chen thought for a while, and also felt that this matter could be planned. Find something for Peng Qingqing to do. If she succeeds, she will also be a female general. Don't ask her to lead troops to fight, as long as she can understand more , Enriching her brain capacity is also good, not simply being silly and sweet.

When a woman's thinking becomes richer, she does not give way to a man's eyebrows, her martial arts are super strong, and she can command heroes and command the three armies. Such a woman...will be suppressed by myself in the future...cough cough, it is a bit unsuitable for children.

Every man has the desire to conquer, especially the more outstanding his own woman is, she is unattainable and unattainable in the eyes of other men, but she is the object of what he can do day and night. Just thinking about it, he has a sense of pride and honor.

Of course, the premise is that she is not very feminist, and when the time comes, she will not be able to control her, but will turn around and control him.

Su Chen encouraged and said: "It's a good idea. When I go back, I will prepare related books for you, such as Sun Tzu's Art of War, Guiguzi's Art of War, Sun Bin's Art of War, Duke Wei's Art of War, etc. Learn more!"

"So many books..." Peng Qingqing's expression turned bitter.

However, when she thought that she could help Su Chen in the future, protect him, benefit the Tang country, and prevent relatives and friends from dying in vain, she decided to give it a try.
