Chapter 420: Temptation (Part II)

In the middle of the night, the bustling city of Shunjun during the day was completely shrouded in darkness and silence, and there were hardly any human figures on the streets, only the soldiers on patrol at night would walk mechanically through the streets according to the established route.

A thousand years ago, there was only one city in the world that could be called a city that never sleeps, and that was Tokyo Bianliang in the Great Song Dynasty. Shunjun City is naturally no exception, even if the people here are rich under the governance of the Xifeng clan, they are still quiet at night.

So when Sun Tu quietly climbed out of the back wall of the courtyard after the second watch and went to the agreed East Street, he didn't have to worry too much about being bumped into by someone, and smoothly appeared in front of the alley that looked a little deep at this time. After his gaze only scanned inside and outside the alley, he walked in with a calm smile.

As soon as he entered the alley, a voice suddenly sounded in the originally silent darkness: "Sun Qianli? It was actually Chinese, not the Khitan language that Sun Tu imagined, which made Sun Tu slightly stunned, but he replied softly: "Exactly!" ”

"Do you know what you do? Now that you've successfully broken into the side of the Xifeng clan, why don't you meet with us and others immediately to report it? The one in the darkness continued to speak, but did not show up, as if he wanted to hide his identity.

But Sun Tu smiled coldly: "Duty? How come I don't know what my responsibilities are? As he spoke, his ears moved slightly, searching for the specific location of the man in the dark, and when the other party spoke again, his eyes were locked on a corner more than ten steps ahead, and the person was there.

"What, do you really want to betray my Da Liao? You ......" At the moment when this person rebuked Sun Tu with a fierce voice, he had suddenly moved, and his body stretched out, and he rushed straight to the figure hiding in the dark, the person was halfway, and the short knife on his waist had been drawn in his hand, and under the flickering cold light, he had already taken his chest, without a little hesitation.

The man suddenly exclaimed: "You ......" but the words behind him were too late to exit, so he could only hurriedly shrink back and retreat, and at the same time, the saber on his waist did not have time to be pulled out of the sheath, so he even blocked the sheath in front of him, and was chopped out by Sun Tu for a long time before he stabilized his body, but his breathing was completely messed up, and the hand holding the knife was still trembling slightly.

"You what you! The moment Lao Tzu left Nanjing, he no longer regarded himself as a Liao! Sun Tu shouted angrily, stepped forward again, and the knife in his hand continued to slash at the opponent's neck, chest, and face, etc., and the momentum was really terrifying. In fact, this is just looking fierce on the surface, and he has only done five things at most, otherwise this person in front of him will be attacked by him with all his strength without preparation, and he is afraid that he will be dead on the spot.

But even if it is fifty percent of the strength, it is not something that this one can resist, only for a moment, his shoulder and arm have been stabbed in many places, and his backward steps have been staggering, and he is about to be unable to hold it. Seeing this, Sun Tu snorted coldly: "It's time for you to really come, I didn't know how to make Xi Fengchang believe in my sincerity." Now bring your head back, and I'm sure they won't doubt me anymore! After saying this, he increased the strength of the knife when he drew it, and the speed of the knife was faster, and it fell straight to the throat of the other party, but this time the man found that he had retreated into a dead end, and there was nowhere to avoid it, so he could only roar angrily and raise the knife again.

"Dang!" The two knives intersected, and the skin sheath outside the knife was chopped into pieces, and he screamed even more, and the tiger's mouth of the knife-wielding hand was completely broken, and the knife also fell with it. But the knife in Sun Tu's hand only slowed down a little, and then he slashed again, and he was about to cut his throat with a knife.

This frightened this person, and he couldn't help but scream: "Don't ...... I'm not ......."

At the same time, a voice sounded in the darkness on the side: "Stop, it's all a misunderstanding!" With this shout, a little fire suddenly lit up in the originally dark alley, and then several torches were lit up one after another, illuminating the alley clearly, and Sun Tu's eyes were also dazzling, and the knife that was about to be cut into the throat of the other party was quickly recovered and defended, and at the same time, the left hand had pulled the person in front of him, which had the meaning of using it as a shield.

"Papapa......" A burst of applause rang out, and the voice of the fine seal Chang full of admiration also came from under the firelight: "Brother Sun is really a good skill, this time I can be regarded as really eye-opening!" ”

"You ......" After the look of surprise on Sun Tu's face flashed, it quickly turned into anger: "This is what you arranged?" Are you tempting me? Under the light of the fire, Sun Tu's face was pale, and there seemed to be fire about to erupt at any time in his eyes, and at this time, he still held the person in front of his chest, and the knife was horizontal at the throat of the other party, with a posture that might burst out and hurt people at any time. No matter who comes to see this scene, they will think that Sun Tu is extremely angry because he was teased.

There were more than 100 guards around him at this time, and his heart was also tense when he saw him like this, so they naturally drew their knives to protect him in case Sun Tu suddenly became troubled. When it came to him, he seemed very calm and calm at this time, looking directly at Sun Tu's anger and said: "Yes, all this is a game I set up to test Brother Sun." However, Brother Sun, your performance today is quite good, I am very satisfied, at least I can believe that you are not Liaoguo......"

"Hah...... I treat you as a friend, but I can't imagine that you are so calculating to me! Sun Tu completely ignored the guards around him who were drawing their swords, and suddenly withdrew his knife, and pushed the middle-aged man who was held hostage out: "Since you don't want to believe me, then I must stay here, and I'll go." Without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the alley behind.

"Brother Sun, slow down!" After seeing Sun Tu's "true strength", how could he let such a master leave, and hurriedly ran forward to apologize: "Brother Sun, please listen to me." Naturally, I can trust Brother Sun, but my father and sixth brother are suspicious of you, and if you don't make this temptation, they won't believe you at all, and naturally it will be impossible for you to be an official here. So at the end of the day, I'm doing all this for your sake......"

"For my sake? You can really say that. Sun Tu still had a cold face, but his attitude seemed to be better than before: "If you have any difficulties, just tell me directly, why do you want to do this?" I'm thinking about how to give you an explanation! I only said that my identity was really found by the secret agents of the Liao Kingdom here, so I plan to fight with all my strength tonight to help you eradicate some hidden dangers. Who knows...... Hehe, it seems that I am completely overthinking. ”

"It turns out that Brother Sun went to the appointment with such a thought, and he really underestimated you...... Actually, this matter is easy to solve, as long as you hand it over to me after you get that secret letter, it will be enough to prove your innocence. The fine seal often explained with a wry smile.

"Hmph, do you think my Sun doesn't even have such a small responsibility? Since I provoked the Liao people, I naturally want to solve it personally, otherwise what face do I have to say that I will take refuge in you and help you do things? Sun Tu's attitude seemed to have softened a little, and he had already begun to think about the other party.

Only then did Xi Feng Chang breathe a sigh of relief: "What Brother Sun said is, in the final analysis, I misestimated your courage and ability with the heart of a villain. I promise that there will not be a second time like this, as long as Brother Sun is willing to contribute to my Xifeng clan in the future, you will be our own people. ”

"Is that true?" Sun Tu looked at him and asked, "I don't want anyone to treat me like a fool anymore." ”

"Seriously!" The fine seal often looked back at him, with a sincere face. It wasn't until he replied to these two words so solemnly that the gloomy color on Sun Tu's face slowly dissipated: "I have nowhere to go, so I will believe you again." ”

As he spoke, he snorted again and said, "Brother Xifeng, in fact, you only need to think about it to know that I will never be a spy of the Liao Kingdom." Your encounter with me in Wurahai City was an accident, and if you hadn't suddenly gone to such a remote place, I wouldn't have been able to get close to you, so how could I have any plan? This arrangement will not be made unless someone can predict your behavior in anticipation. ”

Xi Feng Chang lowered his head and thought about it for a while, it was really like this. Although he has always been at odds with this brother, he also believes that the other party will never collude with the Liao. This made him feel a little ashamed after glancing at Sun Tu again, he really didn't expect these details.

After this misunderstanding was explained, Sun Tu returned to the other courtyard with him again, and now it seems that the day when he will become a cronie in the Xifeng clan is not far away.

But the matter was repeated the next day, when the fine seal often reported yesterday's events to his father truthfully, and bluntly said that Sun Tu was absolutely reliable, the fine feudalism who happened to be on the side raised a question: "I don't think so." If this person really has great intentions, maybe he won't pay attention to the Liao State details you arranged. And what if he was shrewd enough to see early on that this was your setup? In this way, he can win your trust. ”

"You...... I believe in my own judgment, Sun Qianli is definitely not the fine work of the Liao State as you said, I think you are afraid that my strength will increase greatly after I get his help. The fine seal retorted angrily.

"Old eight, you're still too casual, and you have to guard against some things." At this time, the fine feudalism was extremely calm, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, what do you think my father means." ”

Xi Feng Chang's eyes kept sweeping over the two sons who were constantly arguing, and only then did he look at Xi Feng Chang with a smile and said: "Since you want to make a difference, you must learn to recognize and use people." It is naturally a good thing that Sun Qianli is a human being for you, but if there is something wrong with him or something wrong, you will also have to bear the consequences. ”

"My son understands that since Sun Qianli is the person I fancie, I don't need others to say anything!" The fine seal often immediately agreed, but the eyes that swept towards the fine feudal were all dissatisfied and provocative.
