Volume 4 The Boat Goes Against the Tide Chapter 182 Shock
Feeling the awe-inspiring anger and murderous intent from the several Liao State guards in front of him because they saw that their robes were injured, even Jiang Xudong, who accompanied him, was shocked, not to mention the few Kaifeng Mansion officials, they didn't even dare to breathe half a breath, but timidly lowered their heads and glanced at those Liao Han who were half a head taller than themselves.
However, Sun Tu, who was the party concerned, didn't seem to feel any pressure at all, and met them one by one, and then said: "These three criminals are messing around and hurting people in my East City, and since this official is the head of Kaifeng Mansion, he has the responsibility to take them down for small punishments and big commandments." Now I will return them to you, and I hope that your envoy will take this as a warning, and do not let people do similar things again, which will ruin the diplomatic relations between the two countries. ”
When these words came out, the face of the interpreter of Honglu Temple on the side turned pale, but he didn't dare to help the translator when his lips moved. And Jiang Xudong looked even more nervous, and secretly pulled Sun Tu's sleeve: "Sun Dutou said cautiously, if you annoy them, there will be endless troubles!" ”
"Xia Guan is just telling the truth, and it is also out of good intentions." Sun Tu smiled fearlessly: "This is my Great Song Dynasty's Tokyo City, will you still be afraid of these Liao people?" ”
Before Jiang Xudong could react, one of the Liao people in front of him had already roared angrily and shouted in a somewhat stiff Chinese: "You are too bullying, I will make you pay!" Before the words fell, he had already pounced on his body, and with a punch, he smashed straight into Sun Tumian's door.
Unexpectedly, there were actually Chinese among these Liao people, Jiang Xudong was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly retreated, and shouted in his mouth: "The envoy is angry, my Great Song Dynasty has no intention of embarrassing you......" But his words were obviously too late, and as soon as the man punched out, there was no possibility of stopping, and even the other Liao guards also pounced at this time, although they did not pull out the saber at their waists, but their fierce appearance was still terrifying.
Sun Tu saw that this punch was full of strength, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, so he waved his hand to block it, and at the same time, his right foot took advantage of the situation to take a step forward, blocking the opponent's attack line. The Liao man was blocked with a punch, and he just wanted to change his move, but he found that his momentum of rushing forward was cut off by the other party, so he could only retreat backwards, thinking about opening up the distance between the two sides, and then relying on the advantage of his body to attack.
But Sun Tu didn't give him this opportunity at all, after taking the initiative, the person had quickly stuck to it, and as soon as he got under the opponent's ribs, he supported his hands and pushed the right arm of the Liao man who was in a hurry to recruit to the side, and at the same time, the lower plate also followed a kick and deftly hooked on the opponent's calf.
A move was broken and the next step was to be restrained step by step, the Liao people just wanted to stabilize the upper body, the lower plate had been stumbled, and the body was no longer under its control, and the hands and feet fell to the side and back, just hitting the faces of the two companions who wanted to step forward to do it, and the momentum of their forward rush was also blocked.
Seeing this, several other Liao people rushed forward slowly, and everyone became cautious, they had already seen that Sun Tu's martial arts were extraordinary, and he could not be sent away casually. After glancing at each other, they actually pulled out their knives together, which made Jiang Xudong, who was just about to open his mouth to dissuade, even more panicked, and couldn't even speak.
"I'll kill you!" The Liao man who was beaten by Sun Tu by his skill and lost his big ugly was desperate and angry, and after finally stabilizing his figure, he also drew a knife in his hand, and pounced again with a roar, and the knife in his hand slashed directly at Sun Tu's neck with the sound of whirring wind.
Sun Tu didn't come with a knife, and when he saw the other party's fierce killing, he could only squat down and want to get out of his boots

Take out the flail and block the knife. But this gave others a chance, and a few Liao people had already swung their knives and slashed at him, directly hitting the top of his head and chest, as if they wanted to directly dismantle him.
This scene fell into the eyes of Jiang Xudong and them, which made them even more shocked, but even those errand soldiers had been intimidated by the murderous aura of the Liao people, and one by one they screamed as if they had been immobilized by a spell, but their bodies couldn't move at all, let alone step forward to stop or help Sun Tu meet the enemy.
A few knives slashed in front of him with a sharp wind, Sun Tu could only roll on the spot, flashing the killing move, and at the same time holding the throwing stick in his hand, he quickly crossed and blocked the last knife that followed, Fang Cai turned over with his left hand on the ground, and then took a few steps back, only then stabilized his body, and shouted in his mouth: "Do you really want to start a war with my Great Song?" ”
"Stop!" Just when these Liao people didn't take his threat seriously and wanted to kill them again, a majestic low shout suddenly came from the rear, and at that time, the actions of these fierce and warlike Liao guards stopped, Sun Tu took advantage of the situation, and saw a Liao army with a scar on his face and a slightly short stature strode out, first glanced at the guards who were stupid, and said in Khitan dialect: "You are now the guard of the mission, not the elite soldiers guarding the border, don't do it indiscriminately because of anger." Then, he looked at Sun Tu and Jiang Xudong, who was already frightened and pale: "On the order of Chen Shumi, please invite the head of the Kaifeng Mansion named Sun Tu to come in and speak, is he here?" But there is no intention to apologize or explain the previous conflict at all, and its arrogance can be seen.
Jiang Xudong didn't care about these at all, and after calming down a little from the turmoil just now, he said with some apprehension: "This ...... As far as the lower officials know, all this is due to a misunderstanding, and I hope that your envoy will not affect the diplomatic relations between my Song and Liao countries for this trivial matter. Oh, by the way, this is Sun Dutou......" he said, he glanced at Sun Tu a little strangely, and he still didn't understand why the Liao ambassador was interested in Sun Tu's little Dutou.
Sun Tu himself was also full of doubts, the other party actually investigated his name and official position clearly, what the hell is going on? However, at this time, he naturally had no right to refuse, so he smiled and said, "Xia Guan also wants to meet the ambassador of your country and ask him about some things." ”
"Then please." This one didn't make much politeness, and even ignored Jiang Shaoqing, but took a hand inside and asked Sun Tu to speak.
As soon as Sun Tu was about to take a step, Jiang Xudong behind him had already stepped forward, pulled him and whispered: "Sun Dutou should be cautious when he goes inside, and he can't mess around according to his temperament." ”
Sun Tu just smiled at him, didn't say anything, and walked in with the Liao people, but left Jiang Xudong to stay there with a worried face, looking at it, whether he dared to follow him into the Liao embassy.
After entering the gate of the embassy and walking along the path paved with bluestone slabs for a while, Sun Tu and the others came to a small hall with beautiful decoration. At this time, there were four guards standing on the left and right at the door of the hall, seeing that their spirit was much more restrained than those in front of the gate, and there were no other emotional fluctuations in their eyes looking at Sun Tu except for vigilance, which made Sun Tu's heart slightly cold, compared to them, these people are real masters, if they face their sudden attack, they dare not say that they can retreat.
At this time, the leader of the guards who brought him in had already made a report to the hall in Khitan dialect, and then a gentle voice came from inside: "Sun Dutou, please come in and speak." But it's a round word
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The Great Song Dynasty official said.
Only then did Sun Tu push open the half-hidden hall door and step over the high threshold into the small hall. When I looked up, I saw a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe sitting in the seat of the lord, and his face was also gentle, with a hint of a smile on his face, and he greeted Sun Tu. Behind him, there was a tall Liao general, looking at his posture of standing across the sword, it was obvious that he was this personal guard.
It was only after sweeping the face of this personal guard that Sun Tu's heart suddenly mentioned, and he suddenly remembered that he had glanced at him five days ago. On that day, the Liao envoy passed in front of the security station, and this person gave him a strong oppressive force, and he even remembered the other party's fierce eyes like jackals.
"You are the head of Kaifeng Mansion Sun Tu who led people to take down the official guards in the East City and ask for the crime?" It wasn't until the middle-aged scribe sitting upright opened his mouth to ask that Sun Tufang took his mind back and responded with a fist: "Sun Tu, the head of the Great Song Dynasty, has seen Chen Shumi of the Liao Kingdom. ”
"Do you know who you are?" Chen Xiangnan asked with some surprise.
"Xia Guan only learned about the identity of the ambassador when he heard someone mention it outside the door just now." Sun Tu smiled: "I don't know why Chen Shumi suddenly wants to see me?" ”
Looking at the young man's performance in front of him, Chen Xiangnan also had some appreciation in his heart, no wonder Lin Ya would be interested in him. But he showed an unhappy expression on his face: "Of course, it's for you to take my guard without permission?" Not only did you hurt and take people, but you also ordered them to be beaten in public, is this completely disregarding my face? ”
Seeing that the other party was angry, Sun Tu didn't have the slightest sense of panic, looked back and said: "Looking at Chen Shumi's dress, he should also be a Han person, and he should know the truth of following the customs." This time, your country's mission came to my Great Song Dynasty, and the imperial court has treated me with courtesy, but your guards have ignored the laws of my Tokyo City at will, and even injured innocent people and my yamen officers. ”
"It's hard to put it. Aren't you afraid that this will provoke the anger of your officials and sue you in the Great Song Dynasty? Chen Xiangnan's language was threatening.
"The subordinate only wants to do his duty and do his job well, and I can't control what the outcome will be in the future. And I believe that justice is in people's hearts. Sun Tu still behaved quite calmly, which made Chen Xiangnan not know how to deal with it for a while, he was not angry about this matter, after all, in his opinion, it was indeed those disobedient subordinates who were wrong.
It's just that the one behind him has a curl of the corners of his mouth, and he glanced at Sun Tu again, and then kicked his toes on Chen Xiangnan's chair lightly, reminding him that it was time to get to the point.
Chen Xiangnan understood, coughed lightly, and was about to change the topic, but saw a servant walk to the front of the hall with a tray carelessly, and after getting the permission of the guard in front of the door, he walked into the hall and put the tea bowl in the tray on the coffee table in Chen Xiangnan's hand.
Chen Xiangnan is still very satisfied with the attentive service of the subordinates in these embassies, the people here are much more sensible and diligent than those subordinates in the Liao Kingdom, and often as long as they look and move, they can send what he needs with a clear understanding.
At that moment, Chen Xiangnan planned to take a sip of tea soup to moisten his throat before changing the topic. Having made up his mind, his hand had reached out to the tea bowl, but at this moment, the slave who had been low-eyed and obedient did not retreat, but advanced, and grabbed Chen Xiangnan in one step, and as soon as his hand was raised, a cold light flashed out of his sleeve, stabbing his throat with a swoop, and at the same time, he shouted in his mouth: "Liao dog is dead!" ”
