Chapter 473 Asking for a token(2/2)
Su Chang rolled his eyes: "So, His Highness has agreed to Su Yi's request?"
Li Shao pursed his lips, a look of depression flashed in his eyes.
Although he had to lower his head, he really didn't like being led around like this.
When Su Chang saw this, he immediately became excited and said, "Your Highness, Su Yi and Li Duxu tried their best to avoid completely cutting off the news. Only then can we know the whereabouts of the traitor.
But you also know that Li Du is vicious and treacherous, and has many evil intentions. Once he realizes that he can't get any benefits from Su Yi and may be in danger, he will make a decisive decision and completely eliminate all ties with Su Yi.
If that's the case, you won't be able to grasp the melon by following the vine.
It’s not that I want to rush you, but time waits for no one, and Your Highness needs to make a decision quickly.
This kind of business where you are good to me and everyone is good, there is no shop like this in such a village!"
Li Shao clicked his tongue, waved his hand and said: "I understand, since I have accepted Su Yi's love, how can I not reciprocate it? As long as he catches Li Du for me, Su Yi will still be his high official in the future!
"
"With your words, I can rest assured," Su Chang said with a smile, "Your Highness, just prepare your manpower. Once Su Yi's office receives the letter, we can set off immediately!"
"What?" Li Shao was confused, "You still don't know where Li Du is?"
"Now that this is an urgent situation, Su Yi doesn't dare to let me know about it before you agree." Su Chang rubbed his hands, "What if I'm a lax and treacherous person who goes beyond him to ask for something from you?"
For his own benefit, he, Su Yi, is not trying to fetch water from a bamboo basket but in vain? When buying and selling people, he is most afraid of being jumped."
This sounds reasonable.
It is not uncommon for people to burn bridges across rivers.
Su Chang added: "Therefore, I want to ask for a token from you, so that Su Yi can rest assured that I have reached an agreement with you, and I am not trying to get information from him."
Li Shao hesitated slightly.
Su Chang murmured again, "The rules of business in the world." Li Shao's head felt swollen and he was drunk, "Okay, I'll give you something."
Unexpectedly, Li Shao came from Qianbu Corridor and didn't have anything handy. Moreover, this house was unoccupied all year round, so there was nothing that could be used as a token.
Su Chang rolled his eyes: "Your Highness, that piece of jade on your waist..."
When Li Shao heard this, he rolled his eyes at him.
This is what he carries with him every day. If he gives it out, how can he not let Eunuch Gao notice it?
However, it was Su Chang who reminded Li Shao that he got up and walked to the inner room and took down a jade pendant from the bed frame.
The bed frame was also set on fire before, but was rescued in time and was not seriously injured.
After all, it was his childhood bed. Li Shao felt it was unlucky, and in order to "appease" his father, he took a few pieces of jade from his mother's belongings and hung them on the bedside.
It means "I am grateful to my mother for blessing me".
Li Shao handed the jade pendant to Su Chang: "Is this okay?"
Su Chang apologized and smiled: "Don't worry, I will do my best. Su Yi is also anxious and will get it done immediately."
Li Shao signaled to Su Chang to step aside, and then he was ready to eat his dinner.
Su Chang walked out of the house and saw Shen Chen standing not far away, and nodded slightly to him.
The two of them walked to the courtyard wall together.
Su Chang showed the jade pendant to Shen Chen and said, "I got it according to my wishes."
Shen Chen nodded.
The token was proposed by the princess. Knowing that His Highness hung a few pieces of jade on the old bed in Qianfu, she asked Suchang to take the opportunity to ask for it.
No matter what Su Yi does next, it will be easier to drag him into trouble with Li Shao's jade pendant.
"Hold on tighter," Shen Chen said.
Su Chang smiled dryly and nodded.
During the few days waiting for Li Shao's agreement, Su Chang was not idle and urged Su Yi to show his sincerity based on this intention.
This morning, Su Yi's sincerity also arrived.
It was a short paragraph from a letter.
The content is that Li Du asked Su Yi where he had gone and how many people he had brought with him. He also said that the border was tight and if he wanted to take action in Gyeonggi, he had to do it as soon as possible. If Yumen could not hold back the army, things would be difficult to handle later.
The calligraphy was Li Du's own handwriting, and Lin Yunyan recognized it.
And this content is consistent with what Su Yi said before about "catching Li Du".
The night is dark.
Shen Chen was about to take Suchang out of Qianfu, but Su Chang stopped him first.
"Brother," he said worriedly, "there is something I have been hesitating about for a long time."
Shen Chen pricked his ears and listened to the sound.
There was no one outside the courtyard wall, and it was far away from the main courtyard where Li Shao was. He was sure that no one would listen. Shen Chen motioned to Su Chang to continue.
Su Chang lowered his voice: "I know Su Yi more or less, he is a very well-known man in the city.
If he loses power and cannot stay in Gu Yue, I believe that; if Li Du falls, Su Yi no longer wants to support Li Du, who has no future, I believe that.
However, he was looking for someone to form an alliance with, and found His Highness. I don't really believe it.
Su Yi is so ruthless and I don’t like him..."
It is true that Su Yi and His Highness met a few times during his mission and did not have a close relationship with each other. However, the incident in Chenmi Hutong that impressed Su Yi most deeply was undoubtedly the incident involving His Highness.
The house in Chenmi Hutong was Li Du's territory. Su Chang went there on behalf of Su Yi. Later, the house was inspected by the Yamen. How could Su Yi not know the general situation?
The crown prince can be carried out by the Yamen in disheveled clothes. Will the Su Council plan something with him?
What's more, he is no longer the crown prince.
"I always feel that Su Yi has set a trap." Su Chang said.
Shen Chen nodded: "Then I'll trouble the Su Dong family and try to dig out more clues from Su Yi."
Su Chang laughed bitterly, not wanting to respond, but still responded: "I'll do my best, I'll do my best!"
The night is getting deeper.
It was half past the third watch and there was almost no light in the town.
The side door of the mansion was knocked open, and a group of people entered the house and made their way to the main courtyard.
After hearing the news, Eunuch Ye lit the lamp and woke up Li Du, who was not sleeping soundly on the bed: "Master, Su Yi has brought someone here."
