Chapter 701: Hidden Feelings

Seeing Zhu Mian take people away, Sun Tu not only did not feel much proud, but frowned slightly, feeling that this thing was a little strange.

In fact, when he learned that Zhu Mian had arrived and wanted to lead the army to rush in, Sun Tu was still quite annoyed, so he brought people to rush in time and forcibly blocked them. Doing so can naturally export evil anger and grow his own majesty, but it is also a little contrary to his previous strategy, because if Zhu Mian really leaves in a rage, just waiting for the arrival of other soldiers and horses, he will have to spend a lot of effort to succeed again.

But it is a matter of military morale, and Sun Tu can only hold on. But with the sudden softening of the other party's attitude, it made him see some other things, it seems that Zhu Mian only led the pro-army to come in a hurry this time for another purpose, for which he can even temporarily put his face aside, which is worth pondering.

After a moment of silence, Sun Tu turned his head and said to a soldier beside him, "Hurry up and follow them to see where they are going and what they are doing." Also, go and find the scout camp again, I have something to tell him. ”

When Sun Tu returned to his command post, Shi Qian was already waiting there. After seeing the salute, he smiled and asked, "I don't know what the ruler commands?" ”

"You found a few clever and reliable brothers in the scout camp to stare at the Zhu Mian people who just came back, and I always feel that they have some ulterior motives for coming back this time." Sun Tu commanded casually.

"Obey the order, I'll arrange it!" As soon as he heard that this was such a thing, Shi Qian immediately became interested, and secretly decided to go there to watch it himself, which was much more secure than sending his brothers to keep an eye on him.

Sun Tu didn't pay much attention to this person's thoughts, just encouraged him a few words, and sent him away. Soon after Shi Qian retreated, Dong Ping and Zhu Wu came together, and their faces were a little solemn: "Zhu Mian, I heard that Zhu Mian led troops into the city?" ”

"Well, but I only let 200 of him into the city." Sun Tu responded and glanced at them again: "What, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Please see!" Dong Ping took a step forward and sent Zhang Jieti over: "This is something that has been torn off by someone in the past few days, and it is written on it many charges of Zhu Mian for harming the places in the south of the Yangtze River, and bluntly said that he wants to kill Zhu Mian in order to seek the right path." ”

Sun Tu took the post and quickly swept it, and snorted: "This should be a trick of the anti-army in the south, right?" Are they planning to use this to sow discord and disturb the hearts of our army and the people? ”

"It should be like this, but this is a conspiracy, and it's not easy to deal with. And now that Zhu Mian has happened to return to Suzhou, once the people are reminded of the past, and then some people with ulterior motives fan the flames, I am afraid that there will be another civil uprising. Zhu Wu looked worried, "So I think we should be on guard, but we can't make any more trouble." ”

"Don't worry, there won't be a big incident." Sun Tu waved his hand disappreciatively: "I think it won't be long before Fang La will regret making this plan." ”

Dong Ping was a little puzzled, and just wanted to say something, Zhu Wu had already come back to his senses, his face changed, and he said in a low voice: "Could it be that the jurisdiction has already decided to do it once and for all?" ”

Sun Tu smiled inexplicably: "Some things always have to be done, now if you want to pacify Jiangnan, Zhu Mian is the biggest hidden danger, I think about the court and the people of Jiangnan, even if it will attract some criticism, you should give it a try!" ”

At this time, Dong Ping also understood, his face changed rapidly, and he said uneasily: "You have really decided?" But in this case, if the court investigates, what should it do? ”

"Isn't there a ready-made reason for that?" Sun Tu took a picture of the post, "Zhu Mian is not dead, Jiangnan is difficult to determine, which is the best explanation." ”

Rao is two are accustomed to seeing life and death in the wind and waves, and their courage is already very great, and they are also a little short of breath when they hear this, and after a while, they whispered: "I will wait to obey the orders of the ruler." Why don't you kill him today while he only has only 200 guards around him, and the other soldiers and horses have not yet arrived? ”

"Don't worry, it's not the time yet." Sun Tu had already thought further at this time, and immediately waved his hand and said: "In some time, when other people from all walks of life arrive, it will not be too late to start." ”

"This ......" The two of them were suddenly a little dumbfounded, and they really couldn't understand why Sun Tu had to give up the easy and the difficult, and when the other soldiers and horses arrived in Suzhou, wouldn't there be a lot of variables if they did it again? But seeing that he looked confident, the questioning words that came to his mouth were not easy to say, so he could only whisper yes and say no more.

It wasn't until they retreated that Sun Tu smiled and whispered: "At this time, Zhu Mian must be on guard, and he may not be able to take his life." But when the other men and horses arrived one after another, and the other generals also entered the city, he would have to relax a little......"

As Sun Tu expected, at this time, the Zhu Mansion Mansion, which had returned to its master, was already heavily guarded, and almost all of the two hundred guards had been arranged around to guard it strictly, and no one was allowed to approach the mansion. Coupled with Zhu Mian's bad reputation, the people in the city took a detour, and there was no one near the house.

Shi Qian, who was staring at him across half a street, let out a laugh when he saw this: "Sure enough, as the ruler expected, this Zhu Mian has something unsightly to do, otherwise he wouldn't have scattered all the people out to guard, this is called wanting to cover up!" ”

Although he had expected that something would happen in the house, Shi Qian couldn't get close to it easily. Because although the house occupies a large area, there is not much shelter around it, and the two hundred or so people who guard it are enough to take care of the movement on all sides.

However, this is not as difficult as the famous thief on the rivers and lakes back then, even if he has not done such a thing for many years, but he is not unfamiliar with his skills. After the sky darkened, he acted quickly, and in just two vertical bodies, he had already reached the roof, and then walked towards the Zhu Mansion from the roof above as if he were walking on the ground.

All of this action went smoothly without any sound, and unless someone deliberately looked up, they would not have noticed his existence at all. A moment later, Shi Qian had come to the top of a house only three zhang away from the side wall of Zhu's mansion, and below it, there stood three or four military experts who were patrolling around with swords and guns.

Only estimated the distance, and Shi Qian was already on tiptoe, and the man jumped up and swept straight towards the high wall on that side. Although he is very lightweight, it is a little difficult to sweep three feet after all, and there is still a distance of a few feet from the wall, and his body has already fallen straight down.

But at this moment, Shi Qian's hand waved, and a thin black shadow had already flown out like a spiritual snake, and it was immediately placed on a small branch that had just poked out of the wall outside the zhang. Although it was only a thumb-thick branch, it allowed Shi Qian to borrow force calmly, and the momentum of sinking suddenly stopped, and the person had risen again, and in another step, he had fallen to the wall only a foot wide, without any pause, and his body was deviated, and he fell back into it.

All these actions were like flowing water, almost to the extreme, and in the blink of an eye, Shi Qian had fallen from the roof a few zhang away to the courtyard of the Zhu Mansion, and it was also silent. It was only at this time that the two soldiers below noticed a movement above their heads, and when they looked up, they couldn't see anything unusual except for the slight tremor of the branch, and they only thought they were too sensitive.

Shi Qian, who had landed safely, smiled lightly inside, very satisfied with his performance tonight. Then, he continued to bow and walk lightly forward, this Zhu Mansion was much bigger than he imagined, and it was not easy for him to find a target in a mansion with a radius of seven or eight acres.

However, there is one thing that is very good, that is, Zhu Mian has left almost all the people under his command outside, so there are no guards inside, and Shi Qian does not need to be distracted to dodge. So he walked all the way, and soon, he found his goal.

It's not that Shi Qian's ability to find people is high, it's that the target is too conspicuous - in this dark environment, only there are a few torches in the western corner, and it is obvious that people are gathered there. Shi Qian didn't hesitate, he immediately rushed over, and then saw a scene that surprised him-

I saw that Zhu Mian with seven or eight subordinates was gathered in front of a big tree with a thickness of a few feet, and with Zhu Mian's order, those guys who were not low in status actually wielded shovels and pickaxes to dig under the tree. These people are all practitioners, and their hands and feet are very sharp, and after only a while, they have already dug a few feet down, and then they stop moving, and some people jump off the pit.

After a while, when they heard a greeting from inside, someone threw the rope down, and then as everyone exerted their strength, a huge camphor box was pulled up by them. Just looking at the performance of a few big men trying their best to pull the box up, you can know that this box is extremely heavy.

But that wasn't all, and then they pulled up two boxes of the same size from underneath. And when Zhu Mian stepped forward to open one of the boxes, all the henchmen around him showed greedy expressions, and even Shi Qian in the distance almost screamed after seeing the boxes full of gold and jewels under the firelight. The box full of treasures, even if it is estimated by him, who does not know how to do it, is afraid that it will be worth tens or even millions of dollars.

"I can't imagine that this Zhu Mian actually left such a large amount of money here, no wonder he has to venture into the city even if he is harassed by the ruler." Shi Qian sighed in his heart. And Zhu Mian also breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing that the property he had accumulated over the years was intact. On the day when the rebels entered the city, he was in a hurry to escape for his life, and he didn't have time to bring so many treasures, but he buried them here, and now he can find them, which is a matter of concern.

"Carry the things back, and then you will all be rewarded, and this official will never treat you badly." Zhu Mian hurriedly commanded. didn't know that his every move fell into the eyes of Shi Qian......
