For those soldiers of the forbidden army, it was not terrible to see people killed at close range, and even many of them had killed people. However, when the slain person turned into a high-ranking man, the impact was enough to make them terrified, especially when he was still forcibly stripped of his robe and frozen to death in front of everyone, which was even more terrible than when he was stabbed to death, and made people tremble and sweat like pulp until this moment.

And when Sun Tu's gaze suddenly fell on them, the last bit of backbone of these people was gone, and they didn't dare to have any other thoughts except to kneel down and beg for mercy. Sun Tu looked at them and said in a flat voice: "Everyone, today's events are really unexpected, I don't want Gao Taiwei to die of a serious illness due to the cold weather and his weak body, this is indeed our responsibility, and we should ask the court to hold them accountable." ”

When these soldiers heard him say this, they were all a little dazed, and they couldn't keep up with his rhythm at all. Fortunately, his words continued: "However, after all, we are duty, and we will go north to support the army, and we must not delay the military plane because of the death of one person." Therefore, in my opinion, what should be done now is to take the body of Captain Gao first and rush to the north. Until then, it was not too late to report the matter to the imperial court.

"Of course, because Captain Gao died of illness, in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic in the army, we should have cremated him first, and only took his ashes on the road. What do you think of Benhou's idea? ”

Most people were still a little dazed, and they didn't even listen to what Sun Tu said, but after all, there were still a few smart people who had already understood the meaning of his words, and immediately said loudly: "What Hou Ye said is very true, since everything should be based on the overall situation, it is indeed safer and more convenient to burn his body and take it on the road......

These few words finally woke up the panicked forbidden army and the guards, and all of a sudden, hundreds of people nodded frantically like chickens pecking rice, and agreed repeatedly: "What Master Hou thinks about is that we should follow your orders and act, and we will never dare to disobey the slightest." ”

"That's good." Sun Tu smiled with satisfaction: "In this case, please do it and cremate it." He waved his hand to signal that they were ready to act.

At this time, Gao Yu had already been angry for a while, his body was frozen hard, and only a pair of eyes were still staring forward with extreme unwillingness and resentment, as if he was complaining about Sun Tu, and as if he was complaining that his subordinates were unwilling to protect him. When a few people on the side wanted to make a move, a pair of eyes of the senior captain did not feel a shudder, but after looking around, they found that the people of the Tiger Ben Army were still surrounded and stared at themselves, and finally gritted their teeth and stepped forward to move the corpse.

These soldiers had already understood in their hearts that Sun Tu really had no intention of killing them all, but just in case, they needed to hand in their names. And the burning of Gao Yu's body is the letter of surrender they have to hand in, as long as they do this, they will never want to stay out of the matter, once the court knows the truth and investigates it, one of these people is counted as one, and they don't want to get rid of the crime.

Hundreds of people were doing things quite quickly, and in a moment, enough firewood had been piled up, and Gao Yu's corpse was also placed on it. A military attache of the Forbidden Army held a torch and, after a moment's hesitation, finally bit his teeth and threw it on the dry wood.

In the blink of an eye, the flames had spread, igniting all the surrounding firewood and beginning to devour Gao Yu's cold and stiff corpse...... It was only at this time that Sun Tu, who was watching from the sidelines, waved his hand, and the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army around him put down their weapons, leaving only some people to stare on the side, while others returned to their respective camps.

It is said that although they did not participate in the war that night, they did not sleep all night, and they were already exhausted one by one. Although the matter is over, and the sky is already bright, it is obvious that I can't go today, so I just go back to sleep first, nourish my spirits, and wait for tomorrow to dawn before I go on the road.

And Sun Tu was in high spirits, until he saw that Gao Yu was completely turned into ashes, and after asking someone to find a box and put it inside, he asked someone to scatter all the other ashes around-really did the cruel words that not only killed you, but also raised your ashes.

And his murderous behavior made people even more jealous, especially those high-ranking guards, all of them were like quails, staying in place and not even daring to move. Seeing this, Sun Tu just smiled: "You don't have to be nervous, Gao Taiwei's death is just an accident, and then Benhou will explain to the imperial court that he will not let you bear any responsibility." But now I still have one thing I want you to cooperate with, where are the assassins who took down yesterday? Bring him into the tent and speak with me. As he spoke, he walked into the luxurious tent that belonged to Gao Yu, and sat down at the top of the place.

At this time, how dare these people disobey Sun Tu's order, someone immediately ran to the camp on the side and brought the captured assassins over. The faces of these people were also full of surprise at this time, and at the same time, there was a hint of relief. Although they were imprisoned in a small tent, they also had a basic understanding of what was happening outside through what they heard. Especially when Gao Yu died before, the sound was like a cuckoo crying blood, and the cry of a terrible ghost made them believe that this was not a scene, and the big enemy who he wanted to kill desperately was really eliminated by the young general in front of him.

Seeing that they kept looking at themselves with surprise on their faces, Sun Tu didn't get angry, but smiled and reported to his home first: "This official Sun Tu, I don't know what your identity is?" ”

Hearing his name, several people were obviously shocked, and only then did a man raise his head and reply: "It turned out to be General Sun, I have heard of your name for a long time over the years, and I know that you are a rare good official and a famous general in the Song Dynasty official army...... We don't dare to hide it from you, more than ten years ago, our brothers were all banned soldiers in the Tokyo Forbidden Army, and they were generals in the Longyuan Army. But later, because he was killed by this nobleman, he escaped from the capital and became a group of hunters in the Daimyo's mansion......"

Sun Tu nodded: "I see, it seems that the hatred between you and Gao Yu is also very deep." ”

"Hatred is as deep as the sea!" Another man gritted his teeth and said: "I still remember it clearly to this day, at that time, Gao Yu had just served as the former lieutenant of the palace, and he actually planted a false accusation in order to establish his authority, and put General Xiang, the commander of my Longyuan Army, on death row. And when I wanted to avenge General Xiang's grievances, I was obstructed by him in every way, and in the end, he reversed black and white, convicted us and other 300 brothers of a battalion of misdeeds, and wanted to execute all of us. ”

Speaking of this, the man looked at the man who spoke at the beginning again: "If General Fan hadn't rescued us and others in time and led us out of the camp, I'm afraid that we would have been a bunch of lonely souls who died unjustly more than ten years ago." It's a pity that our family didn't have time to leave Tokyo, and they were all charged to death by Gao Yu's family. Pity my wife just got pregnant, one corpse and two lives......" When these past events were mentioned, the muscles on this man's face were distorted, his eyes were red, and even tears that he had not felt when he was seriously injured and dying before did not flow down unconsciously.

And the others also showed hatred on their faces one by one, although they didn't say anything, but they obviously remembered the hatred of the year. In the end, the man who spoke at the beginning spoke: "General Sun, this is the reason why my brothers and I will assassinate Gao Yu at the risk of death." Now that he has been ambushed, we are willing to die, you just have to ask someone to do it, and we will never dare to have any dissatisfaction. ”

Sun Tu shook his head with a smile: "Since you already know that Gao Yu was killed by me, why do you have such an idea?" What reason do I have to kill you? Come and loosen the bonds for them. ”

Several of the Assassins were surprised, they thought they would die after all, but they didn't expect the other party to have such an attitude. After being loosened, several people stood up straight with difficulty, but there were more doubts in their eyes when they looked at Sun Tu: "Aren't you going to put the blame for killing Gao Yu on us and others, General Sun?" In their opinion, this is the most logical thing to do, and once this happens, Sun Tu's responsibility will go to ninety percent.

"Hehe, although my Sun Tu is not talented, he can't do such a thing as being framed by others. Since I dare to kill him, there is naturally a way to deal with the aftermath, so why should you bear this sin? Therefore, I asked you to come here, firstly, to ask about the relationship between you and the high man, and secondly, to give you an explanation. ”

After hearing this, a few people were silent for a while, and they had a little more respect for Sun Tu. Sun Tu took the opportunity to ask, "By the way, I haven't asked for your names yet." ”

"In Xia Fan Qi, these are my brothers, Zhao Huang, Cen Bohu, Guan Dingwu, ......"

"How many of them are headed by you, right?" Sun Tu glanced at Fan Qi and asked.

The other party nodded: "Exactly, I was their main general in the Longyuan Army before, so they have always served me as the master." ”

"What about the dozens of people who fled before?"

"They are also ordinary, they are all my brothers of the Long Yuan Army, and a few of them are nephews and nephews who escaped from the capital by luck."

"So you've been hunting for a living all these years?" After the other party nodded, Sun Tucai said: "Now that you have revenge, have you ever thought about how to go in the future?" ”

"What does General Sun mean?"

"I think you should have two choices now, one of them is naturally to go back and continue to be your hunter, without an enemy like Gao Yu, I think with your ability, you will be able to live well in the Daimyo's Mansion."

A few people didn't speak, because they had already heard it, and Sun Tu's focus was not on this. Sure enough, I only heard him continue: "But in this way, it is a waste of your ability." I can see that you are all rare good hands in the forbidden army, whether it is archery or martial arts, they are all first-class, but it is too wasteful to use them only for hunting. Therefore, this second way is to serve the country again with this useful body, so as to win another fame. What do you think? ”
