Chapter 373: Will Travel
Tong Guan smiled again on his face at this time: "Qianli is really a smart person, if you can save you today, the only one is the old man." However, if you want to get out of the current predicament, you also need to pay a lot of price, what are you willing to do? ”
"Tong Shuai has orders, and Sun Tu obeys them." Knowing how dangerous his situation was, Sun Tu didn't dare to bargain with the other party anymore, so he immediately agreed without a word.
But as soon as Tong Guan's conditions came out, he was still surprised: "The old man wants you to do only one thing, leave Qingzhou and Shandong with me." Sun Tu quickly frowned: "What does Tong Shuai mean, is it to let the subordinate resign from all official positions?" I'm afraid it's not easy...... "This is also unacceptable to him, now that he has just gained a foothold in the army, and the Qingzhou army has just improved, how can he be willing to let go?"
Tong Guan shook his head with a smile: "The old man knows that this is where your hard work is, and I don't want you to leave such a foundation, just to let you leave this place temporarily and avoid the open guns and hidden arrows of some people in the court." ”
"Tong Shuai means ......"
"If you stay here, it will be wrong to do it or not, but if you leave this place, they will not find their purpose and opportunity. Of course, you are now the capital supervisor of Jingdong Road, and you can't just walk if you want to, so you need to have a reason to stop everyone's mouths. It just so happens that the old man has one here, and in a few days, I will be going to envoy to Liao, and there is a need for a guard commander in the envoy ranks, so you are very suitable. ”
It was only at this time that Sun Tu understood the true purpose of Tong Guan's sudden arrival in Qingzhou this time, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath. After thinking about it carefully, I felt that his words were indeed reasonable, and that he and Qingzhou had become the target of many officials in the DPRK and China, and leaving at this time was indeed a good way to protect himself.
And more importantly, it is not a serious dispatch to go to Liao with Tong Guan as an envoy, so that his authority can be retained, and when he comes back in a few months, the military power is naturally still in control. At that time, many people will forget all this, and it will be much easier for them to act on their own.
So soon, he clasped his fists and responded: "Since Tong Shuai has this order, the lower officials must obey the dispatch." I wonder if Tong Shuai needs to select some elites from the Qingzhou Army to escort the team? As soon as he responded to the matter, Sun Tu quickly entered the role.
"The old man has this intention, this time I need people and horses that you and I can trust, and I don't need more, five hundred people are enough." Tong Guan said, and stood up: "As long as this matter is done, your credit will definitely be not small, and you will be able to save a lot of trouble." You should prepare well in the next few days, and in ten days, you will go to Laizhou to meet the old man. Remember, the person you bring must be loyal and reliable, and there must be no sloppiness. ”
Sun Tu's expression moved, and he felt that there was something strange in it. Because the Liao State is in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, there is a big deviation from Laizhou, which is located in the northeast. But this route is not right, although Liao also has an area near the sea, but the local envoy should not go straight to its Nanjing Youzhou, why did he run to the sea?
Thinking about it like this, Sun Tu even felt that there was something wrong with Tong Guan's appearance in Shandong. If he really wanted to help him, what he should do at this time was to send someone to summon him, so why did he go on this trip himself?
However, although he had doubts in his heart, Sun Tu did not ask in person, and after only a little hesitation, he surrendered the matter. Tong Guan didn't have any meaning to explain, just told him not to spread the word that he had been here, so he hurried away.
From Tong Guan to his departure, it was only an hour, and no one paid attention to it except for the people in Sun Tu's official office. When Sun Tu sent him out of the gate, he was a little surprised to find that the number of people who accompanied him this time was actually forty or fifty, which was a bit outrageous.
He Tong Guan is now the leading big man in the Great Song Army, not to mention that there are 10,000 people to protect him when he goes out of the capital, for his safety, there must always be a few hundred elites to accompany him. These dozens of chariots and horses are almost the same as ordinary merchants, if it weren't for the fact that the mountain bandits and thieves in Shandong are now in danger, maybe someone would have grabbed them.
But the more this is the case, the more Sun Tu feels that Tong Guan's appearance in Shandong must have another deep meaning. But now is not the time to reveal the answer, just wait until the time to go to Laizhou to meet Tong Guan and set off, you should be able to understand the inside story thoroughly.
After sending Tong Guan away, Sun Tu immediately called Huang Wenbing and other henchmen to the official office, and after everyone arrived, he first solemnly got up and saluted Huang Wenbing: "Brother Huang, my Sun Tu has been blinded by lard during this time, and I am offended, I hope you don't see it." ”
His move shocked Huang Wenbing, and he quickly avoided it and returned the salute: "Why did the capital eunuch say this, how dare the lower officials blame the capital eunuch......" The others were also surprised, and I don't know why he suddenly apologized.
Sun Tu has never hidden his own people, so he told his situation with a solemn expression, and now, the expressions of all his subordinates have also changed, and Luda is even more anxious to scold his mother: "Straight mother thief, how is this good?" ”
"Fortunately, there is still a way to save myself, but I need to take someone to leave Qingzhou for a while. So I'm going to leave everything here to you. Sun Tu's gaze swept over the faces of several people: "In addition, I plan to take Brother Lu and Second Brother Wu with me, there is Brother Huang in the civil affairs here, and Senior Brother Lin in the military affairs to take care of, so there must be nothing wrong." ”
"Is the capital eunuch planning to leave the ground in Shandong? Is this really possible? Huang Wenbing asked with some uneasiness.
Sun Tu smiled: "I have my own plans for this, and I have someone to help me, so it's not a problem." As for the details, it's hard to say yet. Anyway, this time I will send 500 elites from the army to accompany me, and you and others will be responsible for everything else, don't let Qingzhou make any trouble. And, as soon as I get out of here, those who want to get rid of me will surely cease, and you will no longer be afraid. ”
Seeing that he had made up his mind and what secrets he was hiding, everyone no longer persuaded him, and even though they expressed their attitudes, they promised that they would take care of everything in Qingzhou when Sun Tu left. Sun Tu smiled with satisfaction: "There is another point, Ya'er, you also help me take care of one or two, don't let her suffer any grievances." ”
"Don't worry, I will take care of Mrs.
After asking these questions, Sun Tu let everyone disperse, and instructed Lu Dawu Song and the others to go back and prepare for a long journey, and then returned home with some worries.
In fact, it's okay to talk to these brothers and subordinates, and they can understand it, but how to tell Ya'er that he is going to leave her for a short time before Sun Tu feels embarrassed. After all, he and Ya'er have only been married for more than half a month, and they may still be on their honeymoon in the next generation, which makes him feel ashamed to be separated.
But for the sake of the future, in order to ensure the safety of himself and Ya'er, Sun Tu can only live up to his new wife this time.
Fortunately, Ya'er has always been empathetic, even if she has become Sun Tu's wife now, she has not changed much. After listening to his explanation, although his face was full of sorrow, he still nodded with a reluctant smile: "Since you have business to go, third brother, Ya'er will naturally not stop you." My husband is determined in all directions, how can I be trapped here because I am a little woman......"
"Ya'er......" Sun Tu was moved in his heart, and couldn't help but hug her into his arms. In his opinion, the biggest gain from crossing over a thousand years to this place is still accompanied by Ya'er.
"Third brother, you can rest assured, Ya'er will wait here for you to come back." Ya'er leaned on his arms, muttering softly, but her eyes were a little red, and she was still a little reluctant after all.
After the two of them kept warm for a long time, Ya'er remembered something again, and whispered: "Third brother, can you go to the courtyard next to you to meet Sister Hu later, and talk to her later......"
"Huh?" Sun Tu was stunned for a moment, obviously she knew Hu Rong's feelings for her.
"Third brother, Sister Hu is also very affectionate to you, Ya'er doesn't dare to say how generous she is, but I don't want her to be sad because of this. If...... If you and Sister Hu are really interested, ...... Yes, too. ”
Sun Tu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Ya'er was so virtuous and caring, even such things could be thought of for herself. But in the end, he didn't dare to make a guarantee, after all, in this era when all men with identity and ability have three wives and four concubines, it is indeed difficult for him to be alone, so that he can only be a woman in his life. Moreover, Hu Rong's feelings for him are so deep that he can't bear to refuse and hurt her.
After all, Sun Tu came to the Hu family, which was only a wall away from his house, as Ya'er said, and soon saw Hu Rong, who was obviously much thinner than a few days ago. Just looking at her pointed chin, she is about to compete with the Internet celebrity faces of later generations.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and then Hu Rong said softly: "You...... Why did you want to come to see me today? She is no longer like her, and she will no longer see the coquettishness and straightforwardness she used to be in Qingdian Town, but she is becoming more and more pitiful.
Sun Tu sighed secretly: "I...... I'm here to say goodbye to you. ”
"You're leaving? Where to go? Hu Rong was a little anxious when she heard this, and quickly asked.
"It should be going to the northern Liao country and have official business. I don't want you to be cranky, that's why ...... Also, I'll be away for a while, and I'll be there for you to take care of you. ”
"Well, I will. Ya'er is very good, she has always treated me as a sister, and I also treat her as a sister. Although she was a little disappointed in her heart, Hu Rong still nodded in response.
Then there was silence, Sun Tu really didn't know how to talk to her, and finally decided to leave. It's just that the moment he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped, didn't look back, and said softly: "If you haven't changed your mind when I come back, maybe we can ......."
Just this sentence made Hu Rong's heart bloom, and her face was bright. At this time, Sun Tu left as if he had fled......
It is the most difficult to live up to the beauty, but judging from the current situation, he must live up to one of them, maybe both of them will be let down by him.
