1035 Going Home
Seeing Sun Tu so resolutely, the dissuasion words that were spoken by the words turned into a nod. Even Tong Mu was shocked by his decision and was a little lost. As for the other soldiers who had committed the matter, they turned from panic to self-blame. After a moment, they knelt down on the ground and begged: "Please take back Cheng's life. We are willing to be punished and dare not have any resentment..."
Sun Tu's eyes swept across them again: "You don't have to say anything. Since it is the military law set by my official, I will set an example by freedom. I also hope that you and others can learn from this lesson. Don't make any bigger mistakes." When he said this, his eyes subconsciously fell on the general named Qi Huan who was on the heads of everyone.
The man immediately understood and looked up at Sun Tu: "General, Bei Zhi knows that he has made a big mistake and cannot be explained by a few military sticks. General only convicts me of death, Bei Zhi is willing to do so!"
If it were before, Song Jiang and others might have pleaded again, but now Sun Tu has said so much that he even ordered a hundred military sticks for himself. How dare others persuade him? Sun Tu sighed and stepped forward and patted his shoulder: "I can't protect you and the brothers who are revenge and killing with you, and I won't protect you, so don't blame me."
After pausing, he said with a deep regret: "Since there is a great revenge, why don't you claim your boss earlier? If I had known this, I would have called you to watch you. And you would have thought they could escape? Then you only need any reason, and killing the whole family is not easy, so why are you like you!"
"General..." Qi Huan also looked regretful. Sun Tu was also tough and said, "In three days, you will be punished. You will live a good life in the next few days. But don't worry, there will be Gao Qiu tribe members who will go with you. Although both of them have been killed, I will not let anyone else go."
"General, thank you for your decision, Qi Huan died without regrets!" Qi Huan said loudly again, and his face was indeed gone. It was obvious that he had completely accepted his destiny. Although the others around him felt a little uncomfortable, it was not easy to say anything now.
Because they already understood that Sun Tu did all this to win the hearts of the people and stabilize the morale of the army, so that hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the anti-thief army would not do anything like killing and looting, and everything would be put first!
When everything was settled, the third update had passed, and Sun Tu did not stay here for a long time. He left the Privy Council with Tang Feng and others. He was in a hurry to go home to see his wife and children who had been away for a year.
It was not until Sun Tu and the others dispersed that Song Jiang's face slightly darkened, revealing his displeasure. He always couldn't accept Sun Tu's decision to regard military law more than anything else, and to be so strict with military law. He always felt that Sun Tu was a bit overcorrect and could not understand it, especially Qi Huan said in detail that he was still his subordinate, but now he had to pay for his life just because he killed a few enemies.
But he did not dare to object in person, because Song Jiang knew very well how high Sun Tu's status in the army was. Since he was willing to be beaten with one hundred military sticks to ensure the implementation of the military law, who would dare to question it? However, the dissatisfaction in his heart finally failed to dissipate. Like some things in the past, he deeply hid himself in his heart.

When Sun Tu returned to the door, it was just over the fourth day. Looking at the several lanterns emitting warmth, the high stone steps, the up and down horse stones under the stone steps, and the horse-tie stone pillars... Everything was so familiar, but it gave him a feeling of being a different world.
After a while, Sun Tu vomited a breath of turbid air, stopped the horse and turned over and dismounted. Then his personal soldiers came up to call the door. He only slapped the door knocker, and the door was quickly opened. He saw the people he had been thinking about day and night standing there, looking at him in a daze.
"Ya'er, Rong'er, Hu'er, Feng'er..." Sun Tu's eyes were no longer anyone else in his eyes at this time. He walked forward and called their names one by one.
"Three brother!"
"Sanlang..."
"Dad..."
The four of them also shouted out loud, and then suddenly rushed over together. Sun Tu did not hesitate at all, and immediately spread his arms and hugged the four most important people to him into his arms.
At this time, the family completely ignored that they were in front of their homes, and there were hundreds of soldiers watching everything around them, hugging each other tightly, unwilling to separate for a long time.
In fact, compared with the previous differences, the time between Sun Tubei and then came back this time is not too long, only one year. However, this year has experienced too many changes and ups and downs for their family, and they may even be separated by life and death. So even Sun Tu was quite excited at this time, and after a while, he spoke: "Let's go in first."
The family walked into the door of the house and followed the most familiar trail to the backyard hall. It was not until this time that Sun Tu said apologetically: "This time I have caused you to suffer again, I have implicated you."
"Sanlang, what do you say? Since we are a family, what are you going to be implicated or not?" Hu Rong was the most careless. After being excited, she calmed down. "Actually, I guessed that there might be such a day. My husband is the most amazing hero in the world. Naturally, he will do a great career that no one can imagine!"
"Yes, Dad is the most amazing. When I grow up, I will be like Dad, be a big hero and do big things!" Sun Jie also started shouting. However, Feng'er still didn't understand these words very much, just kept looking at her father, as if she was afraid that her father would suddenly fly away if she didn't pay attention.
This made Sun Tu feel pity. He hugged his daughter on his knees as soon as he reached out his hand, and looked at Ya'er who was not making much noise: "Ya'er..." He could see that Ya'er was resentful to him at this time, so he had to coax him.
Sure enough, seeing him looking at him, Ya'er snorted softly: "Third brother, you broke your promise. I still remember that you promised me when you left home that you would come back on the 18th of winter months this year. But as a result, I waited and waited, but I didn't see you at all!"
Sun Tu really didn't expect Yaer to keep the words she said before leaving. He was a little stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "This... is really military information, and I can't decide it alone. And I'm only a few months late. You won't really blame me, right?" As he said that, he pretended to hold his fists and bowed to Yaer, which made his daughter sitting on her knees follow suit.
When the father and daughter make such a fuss, even if there is a real grudge, it is impossible for them to keep it anymore. Besides, Ya'er was just a little awkward. She couldn't help but chuckled, and then gave him a blank look: "Hmph, I know you can't believe your words."
"Then you really wronged me. My Sun Tu always keeps your word the most. If you don't believe it, it will be a clear proof in the future. I can promise you now and you that I will stay here forever and accompany you. I will not leave Tokyo again within a few years." Sun Tu immediately shouted and made a promise.
"Take it seriously?" Hu Rong said in a little bit unbelievable.
"Of course it's true. This time I came back, I just wanted to make it happen once and for all, so as not to let our life, death, honor and disgrace be held in the hands of others. Now that I have succeeded, I naturally don't have to let me fight and take risks elsewhere."
"Sanlang, you really rebel? You even beat Tokyo down. Even the emperor has to listen to you?" Hu Rong asked curiously again. Although Ya'er had not spoken, her eyes were full of concern and questions, and a faint worry...
Sun Tu smiled: "I am not called treason, but called purging the king. You should also know that the people of the Song Dynasty have been in power for many years. I am just following the will of the army and the people, eliminating harm to the world, and rectifying trouble. As for the emperor, since I am a minister, I naturally have to show respect."
As his wife and children, Sun Tu didn't want to show the dark side, so he said it was quite righteous. After a moment, he remembered the experience of his family before and said with concern: "By the way, have you encountered any dangers in Beijing after you started your army? Also, how did you leave here and where did you hide? But did Tang Feng and Lao Cui help rescue you?"
When talking about the previous events, Yaer and his children were both shocked. Hu Rong was quite calm and even excited: "Just as you said, since October last year, no, it should have started earlier, and people have been following us when the servants went out to buy vegetables. I felt strange at that time. Later, two brothers from the Di family quietly heard news, and I finally knew that it was Sanlang, you were having trouble again outside."
After hearing this, Sun Tu smiled bitterly. She was really casual, but even so, she could still feel how urgent the situation at home was.
"I didn't take this seriously at that time, but after October, the situation became even more troublesome. This time, they not only sent people to secretly follow us, but even surrounded our neighborhood with troops openly. No one was allowed to leave without authorization or let anyone in. They just gave us some food every day..."
