Nanjing, Youzhou City, has caused a lot of chaos today. On the long street, ordinary people have fled and hid in the depths of the alley, and on the empty street, there are thousands of Liao soldiers surrounded by two hostage-taking envoys of the Song State on all sides, countless arrows, knives and guns flashed at them, but no one really dared to move.

After Sun Tu and Luda hijacked the two sons of the Xiao family and withdrew from Yangma City, they attracted the attention of more soldiers and horses, and now they are even surrounded by a thousand-strong elite of the Liao State. But even so, the two of them did not have the slightest fear, and continued to drag the two guys who were already soaked in the lower body to retreat in the direction of the pavilion, and the Liao soldiers who were blocking their way did not dare to really stop at this time, so they could only move back little by little with their footsteps.

Sun Tu smiled as he walked and asked Luda beside him, "Does Brother Lu regret taking such a risk with me?" ”

Ruda also laughed loudly: "What do you regret? If it weren't for going with San Lang, the Sprinkle family would never have thought of such a majestic day! The two of us can actually make these many Liao soldiers like a great enemy, even if they die, they can be regarded as heroes! And isn't there two noble-born Yanai who go down with them? ”

This performance fell into the eyes of the surrounding Liao soldiers and people, making their emotions more and more complicated. Especially those people, at this time, they don't know whether to hate the Song people who disturbed Nanjing, or to admire them. However, many people still feel quite relieved, the two sons of the Xiao family have done a lot of things to bully men and women in Nanjing City, how many people can't wait to watch them die, and now it is naturally better for someone to help.

But some people obviously can't let this kind of change really happen, just when Sun Tu and they retreated to a street corner and wanted to turn a corner, one of them had already galloped over, and when he saw them, he shouted loudly: "General Sun, don't mistake yourself and mislead the country, if you really hurt the two sons, there will be a battle between me and the Liao and Song Dynasty!" But it was Chen Xiangnan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites among the southern officials, who finally heard the news and rushed over.

The official position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites sounds like a lot of money, but in fact, Chen Xiangnan has no status and power in Nanjing, and he has to rely on the snort of the Liao people to live, and the only thing he can say is to communicate with the envoys of the Song State. So when Sun Tu and the others made a big fuss in Yangma City and held two Xiao family sons hostage, Chen Xiangnan did not delay at all, and hurriedly beat the horse and galloped over.

After a pause, he continued: "General Sun, I believe that there must be some misunderstanding in this, just talk about it. Please also let go of the two sons first, and the official guarantees that my Da Liao will not attack you before finding out the matter. I also ask General Sun to put the overall situation of the two countries first......"

In the face of his slightly threatening persuasion, Sun Tu replied with a sneer: "Do you think I will believe your words?" Chen Shilang, I'm afraid that even you don't have the confidence to make these Liao soldiers obey orders, right? All I want is to be able to return to the inn safely today, and other things are not on my mind. If you dare to do it, kill all four of us together!" As he spoke, his footsteps did not stop, and he continued to drag the person backwards.

Chen Xiangnan's face was full of sorrow, so he could only continue: "General Sun, these two sons are the sons of my Nanjing privy envoy, but they are damaged, and if they annoy Xiao Shumi, there will be a war between them, do you really bear to watch the hundred years of peace between the two countries ruined in your hands?" Do you really want to be a sinner in both countries? ”

He wanted to use righteousness to suppress Sun Tu, and if he replaced the general Song Chen, he would probably be shaken under such pressure. But Sun Tu didn't eat this, and smiled when he heard the words: "If this is the case, my Sun Tu would have died here a long time ago, what does it matter to me whether others live or die?" Don't talk nonsense, it's easy to save their lives, just make sure we can return safely. ”

Seeing that he was soft and hard, Chen Xiangnan was completely out of options, so he could only loudly order the soldiers around him: "Be careful, don't do it, don't hurt the two sons......" As for whether the soldiers next to him listened to it or not, it was not for him to be able to control it.

In the alley on the side, at this time, there were several men dressed as ordinary people who were paying close attention to the changes in front of them, and two of them raised their hands slightly, and there was a cold light flickering at the bottom of their sleeves, which was aimed at Sun Tu and a few of them. The men were calculating the distance between the two sides as they spoke softly:

"Ben was still worried about how to make Song Liao turn against him and start a war, but I didn't expect that Song Envoy would actually create such an opportunity for us...... As long as the four of them are killed, Xiao Dude will definitely be angry, and then he will push it again, and the two countries will be able to go to war completely! ”

Just as Sun Tu and the others were about to step into the firing range, they were about to make a move, when a person suddenly flashed behind them, and said coldly: "There is an order, we will not participate in this matter." ”

"Why?" The assassin who was aiming at Sun Tu asked with some dissatisfaction, but his hand still drooped.

"Because once we do it, everyone knows that there is something else, and no matter how reckless Xiao Qiande is, he can see the problem, which will only backfire. On the contrary, now such variables are the most beneficial, and someone will take advantage of this matter to make Song Liao go to war. After the person who came dropped these words, he turned and left, and the others could only stop stupidly when they saw this, they were just a group of secret spies who could not see the light, and everything had to be done according to the will of the above.

Sun Tu on the street in the distance didn't know that he had just walked past the ghost gate, and he still dragged the two hostages with a determined expression to continue to move forward, and from time to time he exchanged words with Chen Xiangnan and others. After walking like this for more than half an hour, they finally returned to the main residence of the Song State Mission, which had already surrounded thousands of Liao soldiers outside.

Obviously, after the Liao people knew that something had happened, in order to prevent the people from the Song State mission from going over to help Sun Tu and them, they had already sent troops to surround this place early in the morning. However, they didn't dare to really attack the Song Mission, otherwise they would really start a war. But even so, their actions still made many Song people feel panicked, among them, Liu Shilang of the Great Song Rite Department, as the deputy envoy, came out several times to clarify that he never knew what Sun Tu and they did, and his posture was extremely low.

After Sun Tu and the others finally settled down outside the pavilion, Chen Xiangnan spoke again: "General Sun, do you remember that you were also a public security officer in Tokyo City...... When someone from my Great Liao envoy committed a crime in Tokyo, you also led people to round them up and convict them. Why did you wait for me to come to Nanjing, but you did the same thing? Not only did they kidnap my Da Liao son, but they also killed and injured many people......"

"I am only taking captives for self-preservation, and as for murder...... I didn't kill anyone at all, I don't believe you can go to the sheep and horse market and see it yourself. Sun Tu looked calm, which made Chen Xiangnan stunned for a moment. At this time, someone stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear: "There really hasn't been any fatalities over there." Those slaves of the Xiao family were just chopped down, and when they started before, they used the back of their knives to slash people, only wounding but not killing. ”

Well, I can't even get the last bit of a word out of it. Chen Xiangnan smiled bitterly, in this way, it seemed that Sun Tu and the others could only retreat into the pavilion safely. And Sun Tu was also shouting at the Liao soldiers who were blocking in front of him at this time: "Get out of the way and let us in, otherwise we can hold on, these two people won't be able to hold out for too long." ”

Indeed, when everyone heard the words and looked carefully, they found that the two pampered sons of the Xiao family were all colorless at this time and fell into a semi-comatose state. I had enough of being frightened all the way, and Sun Tu and the others kept holding their hands around their necks, and they couldn't stand it anymore. If it weren't for Sun Tu and the others who had always had reservations, I am afraid that they would have become two corpses now.

"Get out of the way, let go!" It was not Chen Xiangnan who spoke, but a Liao general.

Although those Liao soldiers were unwilling, they could only obediently give way at this time, and let Sun Tu and the others retreat to the door. The door then opened, and just as Sun Tu and the others wanted to enter, a person next to them suddenly shouted, "Slow! ”

"What else do you want?" Sun Tu looked at the other party vigilantly and asked. Even the general of the Liao State who ordered just now, as well as Chen Xiangnan, also looked at him with some surprise, this person's status is not high, although he has been guarding this door before, but now there is no room for him to speak and call the shots.

This person hurriedly explained: "The king has ordered the Song envoy to search his body when he goes out to enter the pavilion, and this time is no exception!" This is the duty of the last general, and he dare not make mistakes. ”

A hint of strangeness flashed in Sun Tu's eyes, this person is really conscientious, no wonder Yelu Xiongge would entrust him with such an important errand to be responsible. And the others didn't object at this time, they just looked at Sun Tu to see what kind of attitude he had.

Sun Tu only groaned slightly, and then said, "Yes." But if you really want to take advantage of the opportunity to attack us, there will only be four more corpses here. Saying that, giving Luda a look, the two quickly got together, first Luda grabbed the two unconscious hostages with both hands, and then Sun Tu searched his predecessor Liao Bing. After confirming that there is no problem with him, he will change it.

In a somewhat tense atmosphere, there was such a strange scene, Sun Tu actually cooperated very well to let the Liao soldiers search his body, and then retreated to the gate of the pavilion with two hostages again. Seeing this, Chen Xiangnan hurriedly stepped forward: "General Sun, now that you are safe, you can hand over someone, right?" ”

After Sun Tu stood still, he smiled hesitantly: "Of course, I, a Song person, are the most talkative." Pick it up! As he spoke, he and Rudaqi pressed the waists of the two hostages, and sent the two sons out of the door like hydrangeas. A group of Liao soldiers at the gate hurriedly stepped forward and caught them with all hands and feet. It wasn't until they saw that they were unharmed that they were truly relieved, and Sun Tu and the others had already taken this opportunity to retreat inside, and the door slammed shut quickly......

After a turmoil, Sun Tu and the others retreated to the Song Embassy safely!
