The situation on the mountain was critical just now, and the lights were blind, Sun Tu couldn't see the appearance of the person in front of him at all, he only knew that the other party was also a strong man who was forced to attack the mountain like himself, and he was naturally saved when he saw that he was in danger. But now, once he knows that it was Zhang Chuan who he worked hard to rescue, he felt bad for a while.

And Zhang Chuan, who was frightened at the beginning of the day, finally recognized that it was Sun Tu who saved his life, and his face changed several times. Just now in the mountains, when facing those vicious bandits, he was really scared, compared to this battle, the previous fighting in the county town was nothing, and he finally understood how incompetent and cowardly he was.

Thinking that Sun Tu was not only good at martial arts, but also able to rescue him regardless of his previous suspicions, it made him feel ashamed and grateful, and after a period of gloomy light, he suddenly bowed to the young man: "Sun Sanlang, I am grateful for saving me this time." I didn't live with you at the beginning, and I will definitely repay you in the future! As he spoke, he kowtowed three times to Sun Tu.

This was really beyond Sun Tu's expectations, and when he came back to his senses, the other party's head had already been knocked over, which made Sun Tu a little unsure of what to say, so he could only help the person up: "It's not my Sun Tu's person to be saved when he dies." This is not the place to talk, let's leave first and talk about anything else. ”

At this time, the other people had also fled down the mountain, and after being counterattacked by the bandits, they were completely afraid, and they did not dare to stay at the foot of the mountain. Seeing this, Sun Tu didn't dare to postpone, so he pulled up Zhang Chuan and walked back with everyone.

However, in fact, those bandits did not dare to continue the pursuit, and they were afraid that this was a ploy by the officials and soldiers to lure them down the mountain. Moreover, their own leader Shen Laoqi was seriously injured just now, and they were in a hurry to bring people back for treatment.

When more than 200 people fled back to their camp, the crying and shouting immediately spread in the camp, this time neither Shi Wenbin nor Liu Yuan came forward, and the other officers and soldiers did not dare to stop, after all, if this provoked a civil uprising, the matter would become more and more difficult. It's just that in this way, the already demoralized officials and soldiers became more and more depressed, and Suo Chao was so angry that he scolded: "These civilian officials know how to cause chaos, how can they attack the mountain tomorrow in such a situation?" ”

Only Song Jiang brought a doctor to come at this time to diagnose and treat the injured people, and at the same time gently persuaded everyone, which finally calmed everyone's emotions a little. Sun Tu looked at everything coldly, and looked at Song Jiang with admiration, Hu Baoyi, the reputation of timely rain is indeed not for nothing, he really does everything for himself, but he is much better than other officials.

Thinking so, Song Jiang brought someone to him, and after finding that there were a lot of blood stains on his body, Song Jiang hurriedly said, "San Lang, where are you injured?" Quickly let Dr. Ye bandage it for you. ”

Sun Tu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, I am not injured, most of this blood was splashed on me by others." ”

"Oh?" Song Jiang looked him up and down a few times, and found that he had no other problems except for a slight trace of fatigue between his eyebrows and eyes, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the best." San Lang is really good, and he can actually get out of this way. ”

"It's just luck." Sun Tu smiled bitterly: "It's just that those innocent people are not as lucky as me." ”

"Hey......" Song Jiang also sighed: "I don't know if this Hutou Village can be defeated." Dozens of casualties have been killed and wounded in just one day and night, but what about tomorrow? ”

"Yes, the assault must not be successful. I also saw it in the middle of the mountain just now, although the wall erected there is not too high, but it also has a certain amount of perseverance, not to mention that the official army wants to attack the front of the village has to pay a great price, and it is already the end of the strong crossbow. Sun Tu nodded and said. In fact, he has heard of this in the past, in his opinion, with the ability of these township soldiers in Yuncheng County, they can't even touch the cottage door.

Song Jiang naturally understood this, so he could only remain silent. At this moment, a thought flashed in Sun Tu's heart, but he figured out the key to the problem that he had not been able to grasp before, and immediately said: "Song Zhusi, in fact, there is still a way to break this cottage!" ”

"But what is the law?" Song Jiang was also refreshed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

"It's still a fire attack." Sun Tu's eyes burned and he said.

Song Jiang frowned and shook his head: "Didn't you say that this method couldn't be done before?" The mountains are steep, there are not many trees, and these thieves are so guarded that they can't set fires. ”

"Of course, it is difficult to succeed if it is an ordinary fire attack, but there is a way to ...... it," Sun Tu said, leaning over to the other party and muttering a few words in a low voice. After hearing this, Song Jiang was still a little hesitant: "Is this method really feasible?" ”

"There's probably only one way to do it now. But one thing I can assure you is that once the fire starts, the thieves will never be able to extinguish it easily. It's just that if you want to succeed, you have to rely on General Suo and them, and I'm afraid that the soldiers in our county will not be able to catch them. Sun Tu looked confident.

Song Jiang's eyes flickered, weighing in his heart. Finally, after glancing at the people around him who were still sighing and crying for pain, he made a decision: "Okay, then do what you want." I'll go to General Suo and them, and you go home and bring back what you need to be. As he spoke, he untied a wooden sign from his waist and handed it over: "You can enter the city without permission with this." ”

Sun Tu was not polite, took the wooden card, and after arching his hand towards Song Jiang, he strode towards the direction of the county seat. He had just taken two steps back when he was stopped, and the two servants looked at him vigilantly: "Where are you going?" "Apparently he was ordered to prevent the people from escaping.

Sun Tu immediately showed the sign: "I am ordered by Song to return to the city on business." ”

After the two checked the waist card, they confirmed that it was correct before letting him leave. It's just that the movement here has been quickly seen by people on the side, and it has quickly spread to Liu Yuan.

After hearing the news, Liu Zhisi, who was already a little unsettled, showed even more suspicion: "Then what is Sun Tu going to do when he goes back to the city?" Why did Song Gongming run to see Suo Chao again? The more he couldn't figure out the key, the more uneasy he became, and finally gritted his teeth and walked towards Suo Chao.

At this time, Suo Chao also had a trace of uncertainty on his face: "Song Zhisi, can this method really be done?" I've also seen the cottage, and ordinary wildfires may not really have much effect. ”

Although Song Jiang also had doubts in his heart, he seemed very sure on the surface: "General Suo, just rest assured, Sun Sanlang will definitely not disappoint you and me." ”

In line with the respect and trust for Song Jiang, and now there is indeed no way to break through Hutou Village, so he said: "Then I will believe in Song Zhusi this time, I hope that tomorrow we will be able to break the thief's nest according to what Sun Saburo said!" ”

"General Suo, Song Zhisi, don't be coaxed!" Liu Yuan happened to arrive at this time, and when he heard this, he immediately said loudly: "Then what can Sun San do to break through the cottage, he is just to protect himself." Now he has fled back to the county seat. ”

Song Jiang frowned when he heard this: "Liu Zhisi, you are looking down on Sun Sanlang, he is a responsible person, how can he deceive us in such matters?" Therefore, he went back to the city to prepare for the fire attack on Hutou Village tomorrow, and he would return after dawn. ”

"Song Oshiji, how can you be so gullible about the words of a villain?" Liu Yuan shook his head to express disbelief: "What if he doesn't come tomorrow?" ”

"If he doesn't come, I'll be guilty!" Song Jiang immediately looked back at the other party and said, "Willing to be severely punished by the imperial court!" ”

"General Suo, county lieutenant, you have all heard it, and I hope you two can make a notarization!" Seeing this, Liu Yuan hurriedly said, and took the opportunity to pull Shi Wenbin, who happened to hear the news, into the water. He had long wanted to get rid of Song Jiang, but now that he had seized the opportunity, he really didn't believe that Sun Tu, a stinky boy who had not dried up, could have any way to attack the mountain, and he was sure that he didn't dare to turn back once he went.

Suo Chao and Shi Wenbin glanced at each other unconsciously, and then each nodded a little heavily. Of course, they hope that what Song Jiang said is true, but in terms of the current situation, Liu Yuan's judgment is more reliable.
