Chapter 227: The King of Wu asks for help, and invites you into a trap!
Main hall.

Su Chen took the letter handed to him by Wu Fei and looked at it carefully.

In recent times, there has been a lot of rain in Shu, causing the river water to rise and breeding a large number of mosquitoes. Although there is sulfur soap to prevent mosquito bites, many people still feel unwell after being bitten by mosquitoes.

In addition, the mountains in Shu are high and the roads are dangerous, making it extremely difficult to travel. The supply of sulfur soap gradually decreased, and the number of people suffering from physical illnesses increased, resulting in overcrowding in major pharmacies and a serious shortage of manpower.

Li Ke hoped that Su Chen could arrange a team of people to deliver some soaps and bring some doctors from the medical school to alleviate the shortage of manpower.

Su Chen tapped his folding fan. Sichuan and Shu were not a popular place in the Tang Dynasty. The so-called “Yang Yi Yi Er” only appeared after the Anshi Rebellion.

Since ancient times, Shu has been a place with dangerous terrain and inconvenient transportation. In the past, Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan once privately promised Li Shimin that he would make him the crown prince and place Li Jiancheng’s fief here.

“The place is remote and small, and easy to control. If it cannot serve you, it will also be easy to take it.”

of course.

Li Shimin did not eat the pie that Li Yuan had drawn.

After reading the letter, Su Chen looked up and asked, “Has there been any flood?”

“Never.”

Wu Fei had a look of awe on his face: “Since the frequent rainfall in this short period of time, the prince has been leading everyone to take precautions, fearing that the Suzhou incident would happen in Sichuan and Shu.”

Su Chen nodded. He trusted Li Ke’s abilities.

“What a coincidence.”

Su Chen smiled and said, “I just came from the medical school before you came.”

“There are more than 80 people who can go out to practice medicine this time. I was still thinking about how to arrange these people, and then you came with the letter from King Wu.”

Wu Fei was delighted: “What does Mr. Su mean?”

Su Chen nodded and said, “As you wish, let’s arrange for these eighty people to go to Shu. They have excellent grades in the medical school and can easily treat various common diseases.”

“I would like to thank Master Su on behalf of the prince!”

Wu Fei immediately bowed and thanked him.

Su Chen waved his hand, “King Wu and I hit it off right away. Now that you’ve come here with the prince’s letter, I should do my best.”

“but.”

“The letter said that it has been raining a lot recently and the roads in Shu are dangerous. This matter must be arranged properly. It would not be good if someone got injured while going to Shu.”

Wu Fei: “Mr. Su is right.”

Su Chen pondered and said, “You’ve traveled all the way here, you should take a rest and eat something. I’ll arrange for the doctor and the soap.”

Wu Fei thanked him again: “Thank you, Master Su!”

“Someone is coming.”

“Son.”

“Arrange a room for him and prepare some food.”

“Yes.”

The servant took Wu Fei away.

Su Chen looked at the letter in his hand and said, “Sun Qiang, go call Xue Li and Su Wang.”

“it is good.”

Sun Qiang nodded and left.

In just a stick of incense, Su Wang and Xue Li arrived at the Prince’s residence.

“Son.”

“sit.”

Su Chen pointed to a seat nearby and motioned for the two to sit down and talk.

“Just now, the King of Wu’s men brought me a letter saying that there has been a lot of rainfall in Shu recently, making the roads muddy and difficult to travel, and mosquitoes rampant. They hope that I can help send some doctors from the medical school and sulfur soap over there.”

Su Chen explained straight to the point the purpose of calling Su Wang and the others over, “Xue Li, this time I plan to have you take the doctors from the medical school and the sulfur soap to Shu. Is that a problem?”

Xue Li: “No problem.”

Su Chen nodded and turned his gaze to Su Wang, who smiled and said, “How much sulfur soap do you need, young master? I will arrange it.”

Su Chen: “Prepare 50,000 yuan first.”

“By the way, are there any of the Shu merchants who did business with Wen Xianglai still staying in Chang’an?”

Su Wang thought for a moment, “There are a few people left in Chang’an City, but the roads are difficult to travel. I’m afraid the only way to transport them is by water.”

Su Chen: “Go and contact him and see if you can send the things to King Wu through his water channel.”

Su Wang: “Okay.”

Su Chen took out the list and handed it to Xue Li, “This is the list decided by Elder Sun. The doctors on it are the people going to Shu. They are here to ensure their safety.”

Xue Li took a look at the list and stuffed it into his arms.

“Please rest assured, Master.”

“Okay, go get ready.”

“Yes.”

Xue Li and the other man stood up and said goodbye.

……

Two days later.

ferry.

Boxes of sulfur soap were loaded onto the cargo ship by temporary workers.

Su Chen looked at the Shu merchant Zhang Chuang, smiled and bowed, saying, “This time, I’ll have to trouble Boss Zhang to escort me personally.”

“Mr. Su, you are too serious.”

Zhang Chuang smiled calmly, “It is my honor to help Mr. Su transport the goods and relieve His Royal Highness the King of Wu. Besides, these sulfur soaps are prepared for the people of Shu, so I have no choice but to do it.”

Su Chen nodded and looked sideways at Wu Fei, “If we run into any trouble on this trip to Shu, you will be the one to solve it.”

Wu Fei: “Please rest assured, Mr. Su.”

These things were all sent to Shu. If anything went wrong, Li Ke would be the first to deal with him.

How dare he not take it seriously?

Su Chen looked at the more than eighty doctors led by Xue Li and walked over with a smile.

“Son.”

“Master Su.”

Su Chen cupped his hands and said, “Everyone, this trip to Shu is to help His Royal Highness the King of Wu solve the problem of mosquito diseases, and secondly, to hone your medical skills.”

“Just like before, the duration is three months. After three months, you can return to Chang’an City at any time to study with Elder Sun and others. I will also send someone to welcome you. I hope you don’t waste your time.”

“I wish you all a safe journey.”

“Thank you, Master Su.”

“Come aboard!”

Everyone boarded the merchant ship one by one.

Zhang Chuang bowed and said, “Mr. Su, goodbye.”

“Take care, Boss Zhang.”

Watching everyone board the ship, with loud shouts, large cargo ships slowly set off until they disappeared.

“Let’s go, go back.”

Su Chen said hello and took Su Wang into the car back to the city.

As soon as Su Chen entered the city gate, he saw Cao Yuan riding a horse to greet him, as if he had something urgent to do. “Sir.”

“Come up.”

Cao Yuan nodded, handed the horse to his entourage, and got on the carriage.

Cao Yuan said in a deep voice: “Wannian County is almost done.”

Su Chen smiled and said, “But did you see it with your own eyes?”

Cao Yuan nodded heavily. “We have a favorable position. With the help of the telescope given to us by the young master, we can clearly see boxes of explosives being sent to the temporary warehouse by those people.”

“To date, at least twenty boxes of explosives have been successfully refined.”

Twenty boxes.

Tsk tsk.

You move very quickly!
Su Chen raised his lips slightly, “Are those people from the Wei family still watching in secret?”

Cao Yuan chuckled, “They have been watching us, but we have cleared all the useful information, and we have not found anything so far.”

“Now is the time.”

Su Chen said calmly, “Spread the news and let the Wei family find them in Wannian County.”

Cao Yuan nodded heavily: “Then what?”

“When they arrive, we’ll send them to heaven together!”

“Yes!”

Cao Yuan nodded coldly, then got off the car and rode away.

Su Wang whispered, “Young Master, are you planning to deal with the people from Prince Qi’s Mansion and the Wei family at the same time?”

“It’s a perfect opportunity.”

Su Chen smiled and said, “Aren’t they looking for these people? I’ll send the news to them.”

“As for how many people from the Wei family will go, it depends on their abilities.”

Su Wang: “…”

As soon as he left, he fell asleep without saying a word.

Su Chen smacked his lips, “I want to go and see this explosive show myself.”

Su Wang: “…”

“Don’t do it, sir. It would be bad if we were discovered.”

“Just talking.”

Su Chen waved his hand and said, “Let’s go back to the prince’s residence.”

……

Wei family.

After receiving the news, Wei Ting stood up suddenly and asked, “Are you sure it’s in the yard outside Wannian County?”

“Yes!”

“How many people are on guard outside?”

“At least more than twenty people!”

The man said seriously, “We found out the news and followed the clues to find more than 20 people on guard outside. As for how many people are still in the yard, it has not been determined yet.”

Wei Ting paced back and forth in deep thought, then said: “Xie Yun, you can arrange the personnel immediately. Make sure to capture all the people and their belongings tonight.”

“Yes!”

“and many more!”

Xie Yun stopped and looked at him in confusion.

“Is there any movement from Su Chen’s side?”

Xie Yun shook his head and said, “We didn’t find any suspicious people in Wannian County this time.”

Wei Ting waved his hand after thinking for a moment. Xie Yun bowed and took his leave, then turned around to make arrangements.

It’s hidden well enough.

Wei Ting picked up the teacup and a faint smile appeared on his face.

If you want to make explosives, how can you hide them?

However, there was no movement from Su Chen, which made Wei Ting a little confused.

Could it be that this guy is really busy helping King Wu solve the mosquito problem?
It’s getting late.

Xie Yun brought a total of fifty people and left Chang’an City in batches and headed straight for Wannian County.

The actions of Xie Yun and others were reported to Su Chen in detail.

Su Chen tapped his folding fan, looked up at the Kaimen Star that appeared in the night sky, and said with a smile: “Are Wang Xuance and the others in place?”

“Sir, we are already in place.”

“Then let him do as he pleases.”

“Yes!”

……

The yard outside Wannian County was now being stared at by a pair of eyes.

In the dark, Wang Xuance held a dogtail grass in his mouth and looked towards the brightly lit courtyard with a dim gaze.

They were still refining them late at night, which showed how much the King of Qi valued these explosives.

At this time, Cao Yuan walked over quickly and said, “Commander, the Wei family is here.”

“how many people?”

“Fifty people.”

“The Master said that you, the Commander, will be in charge of planning tonight’s operations.”

Wang Xuance grinned, “Do you remember how to use those bombs?”

Cao Yuan and others nodded.

Wang Xuance pointed towards the yard and said, “When the Wei family members take action, we will throw the bomb over there.”

“Remember, after throwing the bomb, hide it tightly so as not to be affected by the bomb. Pay special attention to the room where the explosives are temporarily stored.”

“understand!”

The night is getting darker.

One by one, the Wei family’s assassins quietly approached the yard.

Before the enemy discovered it, the three outposts on the periphery had been eliminated.

“Do it.”

At the command, a group of death warriors led by Xie Yun rushed into the yard.

“who?”

“Stop them!”

The massive attack by Xie Yun and others immediately alarmed everyone in the yard.

Liang Mengbiao walked out with a big knife in his hand, looking at the masked killers with murderous intent on his face.

“How dare you, a bunch of bastards, to dare to mess with the Tai Sui?”

“The rest of you go and look after the warehouse for me. Don’t let these bastards destroy the things. The rest of you, follow me and kill them all!”
