Sun Tu, who stepped out of the palace gate, did not have joy or sorrow on his face, and in the empty hall behind him, there was Emperor Zhao Ji who was sitting on the throne with a blank face, and in front of him, Cai Jing and other powerful ministers of the court who were escorted out by the soldiers - of course, they can also be called prisoners now.

In the imperial city, there were still countless screams, but those palace attendants were frightened by the thieves who were ordered to search everywhere for people, but under the coercion of swords, guns, bows and crossbows, they also screamed a few times, and then they could only obediently obey the orders and wait in one place to fall.

Many soldiers were quite excited at the moment, this was the first time they entered Tokyo, and it was the first time they entered the palace, not only opened their eyes, but also showed off their talents. If Sun Tu hadn't set a strict order early on that his subordinates should not go to the harem to disturb him, he was afraid that the situation would be even more chaotic.

"Yang Zhi." After thinking for a while, Sun Tu beckoned Yang Zhi, who was full of confusion. As a former military general of the imperial court, he was still a little in a trance when he saw this scene, is this the royal family who he used to be in awe of, but now he even lives and dies in his own hands...... It wasn't until he heard Sun Tu's greeting that he was a little relieved and stepped forward to salute: "What does the general command?" ”

"From today onwards, it is up to you to take the scout battalion to guard this imperial city, and remember, don't let the brothers below mess around. But the inner treasury and other places will be in our hands, do you know what I mean? Sun Tu commanded solemnly.

Yang Zhi immediately understood what he meant, this was to use his own people to completely control everything about the Son of Heaven, although he felt a little weird, he still clenched his fists and promised: "Well, I will carefully guard the imperial city and not let any suspicious person enter." I will also hand over the goods in the inner treasury to the general as soon as possible. ”

"Well, thank you. The city of Tokyo is far from settled now, and I can't stay here for long, so I'll leave it all to you. Sun Tu patted him on the shoulder, and then he started to walk out. As he said, it's only been half a day since he entered Tokyo, but there are too many things to deal with by himself, and maybe there are still many enemies in the shadows who are preparing to fight back.

But just as Sun Tu had not taken two steps, a cry came not far away: "Yue Hou, Yue Hou help...... Poor Dao has always been kind to people, but he has never offended anyone, he has never harmed the people, can you not wronged good people......"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Sun Tu subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw an old Dao with loose hair, vaguely able to see a Dao bun, and the Dao robe on his body was also torn messily and broken, being escorted by the soldiers, looking at himself bably, and kept shouting: "Yue Hou, poor Dao Lin Lingsu, I have had a few encounters with you before, you won't remember me, right?" ”

"It turned out to be a national teacher, it's really disrespectful." A hint of disgust flashed in Sun Tu's eyes, but he still replied.

This Lin Lingsu, as the national teacher of the dynasty, the most trusted foreign minister around Zhao Ji except Cai Jing, is not as innocent and harmless as he himself said. On the contrary, it was under the bewitchment of this bull's nose that Zhao Ji firmly believed in the matter of cultivation, and in order to seek immortality, he did everything, and the money spent on cultivation alone was hundreds of millions of dollars every year. To say that he is a demon who has brought disaster to the country and the people is not wronged at all.

But if you really want to talk about it, he is different from Cai Jing and others, at least he has not used the power in his hands to harm the courtiers and the people, as for getting some benefits for himself, it is naturally inevitable.

Lin Lingsu, as the emperor's favorite minister, was quite discerning, and he saw Sun Tu's disdain for him at once, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Yuehou Mingjian, Poor Dao has never had a grudge against you, and he has even said good things for you in front of His Majesty many times before." Do you still remember that once you went to the table to impeach Cai Jing, it was Poor Dao who mediated more for you, so that His Majesty did not investigate deeply, but I have been secretly helping you. ”

Sun Tu had also heard about such a past, and knew that what the other party said was true, which made him a little embarrassed. If this person really helped him a little, it would really be difficult to deal with him like Cai Jing now. However, if such a demon path that brings disaster to the country and the people is easily released, it is not easy to give an explanation to the people of the world......

Only after contemplating his eyebrows for a moment before he looked at the other party and said, "I heard that you also have a lot of research on the way of Waidan?" ”

Lin Lingsu was still full of trepidation, but when he saw Sun Tu's question, he was immediately overjoyed, and quickly nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Of course, Poor Dao has a deep knowledge of cultivation, whether it is the Inner and Outer Dan Dao or the Yin and Yang Mantra, as long as you can use me, Poor Dao will not dare to refuse." ”

Sun Tu smiled: "That's easy, then I will leave you in Tokyo to refine medicine, but what you are refining is not an elixir to become an immortal, but gunpowder." I want you to improve the gunpowder I have provided you with until one day you can refine the gunpowder that satisfies me, and then I will be able to set you free. ”

As a traverser, he had won on the battlefield with various firearms before, and Sun Tu naturally attached great importance to this. And he knows better that it is gunpowder that really affects the power of firearms, and this is obviously not enough to rely on those craftsmen in Jiangnan or Shandong, and it is obviously a good choice to pull Lin Lingsu, an old Taoist who has been refining pills for decades, to study gunpowder.

Lin Lingsu was stunned for a moment, and then looked embarrassed: "Although Poor Dao has also refined gunpowder, but after all, it is not enough to dabble in this, not to mention that it is really not enough to rely on Poor Dao alone......

"Don't worry, I won't let you go alone, next I will find craftsmen in the world who are good at this way, as well as Taoists like you to refine gunpowder together, as long as you can refine better gunpowder, not only can the previous mistakes be written off, I also promise you to give you enough rewards." As he spoke, Sun Tu glanced at the other party threateningly.

How can Lin Lingsu still not understand his situation, this is the only way for Sun Tudian to give himself a life, if he doesn't know how to push back, I'm afraid that the end will be miserable. At that moment, he no longer shirked, and respectfully gave a salute: "Poor Dao takes orders." ”

It wasn't until someone sent Lin Lingsu and his two disciples to be placed outside the palace that Sun Tu let out a sigh of relief, and a happy smile appeared on his face. At this time, Yang Zhiluo was a little puzzled: "Why does the general attach so much importance to gunpowder, and even hesitate to give such a demon a chance?" ”

"Why, do you still think that firearms are useless on the battlefield today?"

"Of course not, I think that our firearms are powerful enough now, and I really can't think of any improvements. Moreover, now that the Liao people and the Jin people have been defeated by us, and even the Western Xia has suffered a big loss under the hands of the old minister, do you still need to continue to improve your firearms? ”

"Of course it's necessary, you think the firearms are powerful enough? No, in my eyes, the current firearms are far behind. As for the enemy, although the Liaojin and Western Xia in front of us were defeated by me, there may be a more powerful enemy rising in the north in the future. Sun Tu's eyes flickered, thinking of the terrible horseback nation that swept across the Eurasian continent in history and had almost no opponents for a hundred years: "I'm afraid it's difficult for our Han court to really gain the upper hand with only bows and crossbows, and only by continuously improving the lethality of firearms can their fast horse scimitars completely lose their threat." Of course, this is not something that our generation can do, but I believe that as long as we carry it out and persevere, one day the strong enemy in the north will no longer be a threat to us. At that time, it will be time for my Central Plains army to annex them and enslave them! ”

Only then did Yang Zhi know that Sun Tu's vision was so long-term, and after seeing it for a hundred years, he couldn't help but admire it, and said with sincere admiration: "What the general said is that Yang Zhi has been taught. ”

"Hehe, of course, all this is based on the fact that we have the final say in the future of the world, and this point requires you to work together with me." Sun Tu's words were not only [5200] said to Yang Zhi, but also to all the soldiers around him, and those people were also in high spirits after hearing this, and straightened their waists: "I will do my best to follow the general to achieve great things, so that my Central Plains Hanmin can truly live and work in peace and contentment, and not be afraid of foreign enemies!" ”

Dozens or hundreds of people expressed their positions at the same time, and the voice was naturally not small, and it also entered the palace and into the ears of Zhao Ji, who was still sitting there blankly. This made his body, which was still stunned, shocked again, this time he really understood, although Sun Tu did not kill him, but his life will not be easy in the future, maybe even the Han Xian Emperor is not as good......

Sun Tu naturally didn't pay attention to what Zhao Ji thought inside, and after instructing his subordinates a few words, he took people out of the palace. At this time, the second watch has passed, and the entire Bianliang has not seen the lively scene of the city that never sleeps in the past, and it is dark everywhere in the eyes, but Sun Tu can't rest yet, and there are too many things waiting for him to deal with.

And just as he walked out of the palace, he saw two people hurrying over, one was Tong Mu, and the other was ...... When he saw him, Sun Tu's heart beat suddenly: "Tang Feng, why are you here?" ”

Tang Feng also seemed very excited at this time, and as soon as he saw Sun Tu's knees, he was about to kneel down and salute: "I've seen the general!" But he was stopped by Sun Tu and asked urgently, "Ya'er, are they with you?" Where are they now? ”

Although Sun Tu has been patient since he entered the city, and he did not go to the city to find his wife and children for personal reasons, he has always been worried about them in his heart. Until now when he saw Tang Feng, who was left at home to take care of him, appear, he couldn't help it anymore and asked the question he wanted to know the most.

"General rest assured, the two ladies and Miss Gongzi are all fine, and they have been sent back to Yuehou Mansion by us just before." Tong Mu replied with a smile, and then turned his face on the spot: "In addition, just before, there were more than ten cases of our soldiers breaking into people's houses to rob people and hurt people, and the people have been taken down, just waiting for the general to decide to deal with them." This is the purpose of his eagerness to come to see Sun Tu.
