Dozens of seats have been opened in the Yuncheng County Pavilion Station, and the guests are full.

After a simple speech by Liu Yaochen, the county commander, the guests at the meeting pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and everyone said auspicious words of celebration, the scene was joyful and warm, and everyone's faces were full of happy smiles.

As the only ordinary cloth cloth who could meet this meeting, Sun Tu was not left out in the cold, although his location was not far from the exit of the hall, but the surrounding county officials and local leaders still kept toasting him, congratulating him on his chance to come out soon.

Thinking about it, this time Sun Tu has made a lot of contributions, plus he has been appreciated by the county order, even if he is still a cloth cloth now, I don't know when he will be able to have a decent background. Moreover, he also got the attention of Suo Chao from the Daimyo Mansion, and he may be invited to Beijing (the Daimyo Mansion was also called Beijing in the Song Dynasty, of course, this is completely different from Beijing in later generations, and Beijing was still called Youzhou at this time).

Because of this, Sun Tu was also toasted a lot, although the wine used here was very light, but drinking too much made people feel a little dizzy, and the spirit was far less than before.

It wasn't until Suo Chao came over with a glass of wine to salute him that Sun Tu picked up his energy and responded with a smile: "General Suo is so polite that I am really flattered." ”

"You helped a certain capture the cottage, and made my brothers reduce casualties, this wine is naturally to respect you." Suo Chao smiled and drank all the wine in the cup, and lit up the bottom of the glass. Seeing this, Sun Tu also hurriedly drank his wine in one gulp, which immediately aroused the unanimous admiration of everyone around him.

Then, Suo Chao took another step forward and said, "Sun Sanlang, you have a martial arts, have you ever thought about serving the imperial court?" If you have a heart, you can recommend you to the left-behind minister, although you may not be able to have a high official position, you can always find a serious background. What do you think? As she spoke, she looked at him expectantly.

When I heard this, there was naturally a burst of envy in the ears of others, you must know that the left-behind minister in Suo Chao's mouth is the left-behind minister of the Daimyo Mansion Liang Zhongshu, who is an important minister with a very high status in the court, and can be regarded as a feudal official. In addition, there is a father-in-law like Taishi Cai as a backer, and there are few foreign officials who can compare with him in terms of power. If Sun Tu can really cast himself under his disciples, his future prospects will be really limitless.

However, Sun Tu looked at it at this time, but he was as calm as ever, first hugged his fists and thanked him, and then said: "After all, it is just a cloth cloth, although it has made some small contributions, but it is really not as good as Liang Xianggong's eyes, I am afraid that it will make General Suo embarrassed." I don't dare to be ambitious. ”

Hearing him say this, Suo Chao couldn't help but glance at Sun Tu a few more times. In fact, he is not too sure about what he said, but people have helped him a lot, and some things must be said, otherwise it will be easy to be criticized by his peers if it is spread. Now Sun Tu can judge the situation so calmly and not be complacent because of his merits, which makes him really admire.

So after being silent, he said: "Sun Sanlang, why don't you go to Tokyo Bianliang with me?" Maybe I'll be able to tell Master Cai about your merits. This can be done, he led people to recapture the Birth Gang, naturally he wanted to meet Cai Jing or the people around him.

Sun Tu's heart also moved suddenly, after experiencing all these twists and turns, he also knew how important it was to have an official position. If he had a serious background before, no matter whether Liu Yuan or anyone else wanted to calculate and frame him, he would have to weigh the consequences. Although the Song Dynasty was always written as a paradise by many later literati, in fact, it was only for officials and scholars, and for ordinary people, the Song Dynasty was no different from other dynasties.

But Sun Tu finally politely rejected the other party's proposal: "I am already the only son in the family, and I have a little sister to take care of, so it is always difficult to stay away." I don't dare to let General Suo work so hard, so Taishi Cai is not so easy to speak...... Moreover, if you really want to talk about the credit, it is also the credit of the soldiers who bravely killed the enemy, and it is the credit of Liu Xianyin and the commanders who sat in the rear to command, and they really dare not be greedy for merit. ”

Seeing that he refused several times, Suo Chao finally stopped insisting, and only said that he would report everything truthfully after he went back, and he would not hide Sun Tu's credit, so he took the wine cup and left.

Sun Tu's last few words fell into Liu Yaochen's ears, which made him smile even more, and the little prejudice he had against Sun Tu had long since disappeared. For this reason, Liu Zhixian deliberately brought a wine glass over to toast Sun Tu, so that he was once again envied and praised by everyone.

At this lively and celebratory banquet, there was only one person who looked a little lost, and that was Liu Yuan. This was not only because he saw Sun Tu being praised and valued, but also because he saw that Song Jiang was also in the limelight at the banquet.

Although he was also present this time, he did almost nothing. However, Song Jiang not only appeased the people, but also led the army to attack the mountain at the last moment, even if he did not kill the enemy with his own hands, but in the end, his first merit must be indispensable in the final credit book. In this way, its prestige in the county will be greatly increased, and it will completely overwhelm itself.

Originally, he could still take advantage of the situation to compete with Song Jiang, but from now on, I am afraid that he can only rely on his snort, understanding this, Liu Yuan is the hatred in his heart. And after all, all of this is because of Sun San, if he hadn't stabbed out the robbery, if he hadn't been talking nonsense in front of Suo Chao, how could it have caused such a situation?

Looking at Sun Tu's calm and calm appearance, Liu Zhusi was even more angry, but he couldn't have a seizure, so he could only use wine to kill his sorrows, and poured the bitter wine into his stomach cup by cup.

His reaction also fell into the eyes of a handsome-looking scribe next to him, and seeing the right time, this person leaned forward and whispered, "Why is Liu Zhisi worried?" Can you tell me and let the little one read it for you? ”

Liu Yuan, who was already a little drunk, glanced at the other party, and said with a big tongue: "It turned out to be Zhang Wenyuan, I just couldn't get used to seeing Sun San's villain Dezhi......" If it weren't for the drunkenness and confusion, he would never have really said what he thought in his heart.

Zhang Wenyuan also glanced at Sun Tu, who was surrounded by people in front of him, and there was also a deep sense of jealousy in it: "This person does look like a monkey and a crown." But after all, he is just an ordinary white ding, and it is not difficult for Oshiji to really want to deal with him. ”

"Oh? Tell me about it! ”

"I think we can ...... like this" Zhang Wenyuan hurriedly leaned in and said something in his ear.

Liu Yuan's drunken eyes narrowed slightly, and after listening, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer: "This method is feasible, but what if County Yin or Song Gongming obstruct it?" "This is a very possible thing, after all, Sun Tu is very valued by Liu Yaochen now.

"This plan will naturally not work now, but in two days, the opportunity will come." Zhang Wenyuan smiled again: "This time the bandits are successful, the county Yin will definitely report to the Jeju government, and as long as you say a few words to the priest, are you afraid that the county Yin will not go on this trip?" You know, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

After groaning, Liu Yuan nodded with satisfaction: "What you said is right, as long as it can be done, I will not treat you badly." As he spoke, he also patted the young scribe's shoulder, making Zhang Wenyuan's entire body lighter.

The feast lasted for most of the day before it stopped, and when it was dark again, everyone supported each other and walked home with wine.

Liu Yuan also returned to his mansion with the support of two servants, but then he found that there were no house slaves coming out to greet him, which made him very annoyed: "What about people? Where did they all die? With a shout, he had the door pushed open, and stumbled inside.

But there was no one in the house, not even a lamp, not a single candle lit, which made him stunned for a moment, and then a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back, and most of the wine was gone, and he looked around vigilantly.

At this moment, there were suddenly two muffled sounds behind him, followed by the sound of the door creaking shut, and when he reacted and turned to look over, he found that the two servants had fallen to the ground unconscious, and a big man was blocking the closed courtyard door, staring at him murderously.

When he met these fierce eyes like beasts, Liu Yuan's last bit of alcohol turned into a cold sweat, and he shivered violently: "You...... Du Hu, you still dare to enter the city! ”

This fierce man who suddenly appeared in Liu Yuan's house was the tiger in the forest who had escaped from Hutou Village before!
