The incident happened too suddenly. Not to mention the four guards guarding in front of the hall, even the Liao people behind Chen Xiangnan could not react. He could only scream in surprise. The cold light of the knife had already stabbed in front of his throat and was about to cut off his throat.

The only person who could keep up with the sudden assassination was Sun Tu. Just as the man suddenly stepped forward and showed his weapon, he, who was still a few feet away, moved quickly. While fitting and pounced on him, he had picked up a mahogany coffee table more than half a person tall. When he rushed to Chen Xiangnan, he had already pulled up his hands and slapped hard on the assassin's arm that was swung out.

The powerful force of this heavy blow was extremely powerful. With the sound of the crackling sound, the most solid mahogany coffee table actually shattered, but it also smashed the opponent's arm down. The short knife that should have pierced Chen Xiangnan also flew out of his hand, almost hitting the guard behind him. However, this guy was also very skillful. He just turned his head and the knife flashed.

At this time, the four guards guarding the gate had quickly reacted, their faces twisted in a hurry, and they yelled and drew their swords and rushed over. The four swords were almost swung out at the same time, slashing straight towards the assassin's vital points, swearing to tear him into pieces.

After destroying the assassin's purpose with one move, Sun Tu did not retreat, but suddenly took another move, and grabbed the assassin who had been seriously injured and fell down. He dragged him back and pulled him out of the range of the four people's attack. Then he tried his best to hold the assassin's chin, suddenly exerted force to break it off, and then slapped him heavily behind him.

Seeing this, the four guards were even more furious and slashed at Sun Tu directly. In their opinion, Sun Tu had assassination as soon as he arrived here, and he had to rescue the assassin. He must have been his accomplice, so there is no need to say anything else, kill him first.

Four swords rushed towards him with the Fiery Wind. Sun Tu hurriedly retreated and shouted, "Misunderstanding, Chen Shumi." He wanted to ask Chen Xiangnan to stop these people, but the envoy of the Great Liao Dynasty was already so scared that his face was pale and he could not even speak with his mouth open.

Fortunately, the personal guard stepped forward and rushed over, blocked Sun Tu in one step, shouting in a deep voice: "Stop it, he saved the envoy, you must not be rude!" Seeing him stopping, the four of them stopped the attack, and then rushed to the assassin who was still struggling on the ground. The man shouted in time: "Save his life!"

Seeing that the guards stopped doing anything randomly, Sun Tu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the personal guard who helped him stop them thoughtfully: "Thank you for your actions."

"Okay, since you have tried to save someone, you naturally cannot be an assassin." Unexpectedly, this person who spoke pure Song Dynasty was actually not inferior to Chen Xiangnan, the Han Chinese. Then he looked at Sun Tu with praise: "At this critical moment, you can still think about leaving a living, and you will almost be misunderstood for this. Sun Dutou is indeed very capable and courageous."

Sun Tu smiled at him. Before he could explain anything, a large number of Liao generals rushed over when they heard the sound. When they saw this, everyone was shocked and angry: "Does the Song people really want to go to war with our Great Liao? They actually arranged an assassin here!"

At this time, Chen Xiangnan finally calmed down slightly when he was frightened just now. His hands and feet were still a little weak, and his face was still pale, but his order was still clear: "The truth of this matter is not clear, so you should not talk nonsense." As he said that, he glanced at Sun Tu again: "If Sun Dutou of Song State had not taken action to save me, I would probably have died under the assassin's hands."

The personal guard also spoke at this time: "Take the assassin down for a careful investigation, and you cannot let him die like this before he calls the lord." His tone suddenly had a bit of condescending intention.

The guards all agreed in a low voice, then dragged the assassin and walked out. Then, he looked at Chen Xiangnan with an ugly face again: "Supreme Chen was too frightened, so let's go and rest first. Leave the other things to me."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Chen Xiangnan nodded without any hesitation, nodded at Sun Tu, and then staggered out of the door with the help of a guard.

For a moment, only Sun Tu and the other two were left in the hall. After looking at each other, they both smiled and said in unison: "Good skills!"

When they heard the other party say the same thing to him, both of them were stunned again, and then the guard said first: "I'm really a little curious. Sun Dutou how did you take a step earlier and you could just come forward to stop the assassin before he attacked."

Indeed, given the abrupt action of the assassin just now, no one present could have a chance to react, but Sun Tu made the most correct reaction as if he had a judgment. Faced with this problem, Sun Tu just smiled: "If you are an official of the Song Dynasty, you can see the flaw. The timing of his tea is not suitable. Generally, servants will bring tea when the host just meets the guest. If it is delayed before, unless the host gives instructions, he will never dare to disturb the host and bring tea in when he sees the guest. With the minds of the servants in Honglu Temple, how could he make such a mistake?"

It was precisely because he felt that this person's appearance was too abrupt that Sun Tu became wary from the beginning, so he responded as quickly as he took action and stopped him from assassinating Chen Xiangnan.

The other party couldn't help but clap his hands and praised, "What a careful thought. I didn't expect that there was a trick in your southerners' red tape. It really opened my eyes."

"Sun Tu is really flattered to be able to get such praise from such a big shot as yours." Sun Tu suddenly smiled and said in the eyes of the other party.

This made the guard's smile froze slightly: "How do you see that my identity is extraordinary? Just because I could stop those people from attacking you just now?" Although he said this, he had no intention of denying it.

Sun Tu shook his head: "No, it was your reaction just now that I could see the problem. Your identity should be Chen Shumi's personal bodyguard. Then when he encountered assassination, your first reaction should not be to rescue him at all costs? But for a moment, you chose to retreat slightly and waited for a while before thinking about going forward. This is a habit you have always developed. It is not that you are not brave enough, but when something happens, you will subconsciously think of protecting yourself and then respond. This is obviously a habit that only those who are in a high position will develop. Also, although you asked Chen Shumi to rest just now, it was still too domineering. This is not what a guard should say.

"You, an important official of the Liao Kingdom, can be beside the Han officials. This forbearance is enough to make me admire you. And it is even more rare that you dare to stay alone with me after the assassination."

"Hahaha, Sun Tu, you are indeed more intelligent and courageous than I thought before. It's worth it. I've spent some time on you." Even though Sun Tu's identity was revealed, this person was not at all unhappy. Instead, he clapped his hands and laughed with satisfaction: "Yes, I am a military officer from the north of Liao Kingdom. I have a different purpose this time with Chen Xiangnan. But I don't want to deal with your Song Dynasty, so you don't have to worry."

"Oh? It seems that even the guards who came here with you probably don't know your exact identity, right? Then why do you tell me the truth? And why do you check my origin and call me here? Just because you and I looked at each other that day, or because I took you from the Liao Kingdom?" Sun Tu asked in confusion.

"It is a top secret for me to come here, and only a few people know my identity. As for why I admit this to you, it is because I want to treat you with sincerity, because only in this way can I show my sincerity so that you can submit to my Daliao!"

It is said that the Liao people have always been straightforward, but Sun Tu didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward. After a few words, he actually directly asked him to recruit him. You must know that the two of them are still in the capital of the Song Dynasty. This made Sun Tu stay on the spot and said for a while: "Aren't you joking?"

"I have never known how to joke, let alone such a big thing. I really want to recruit you to my Daliao, because you have the courageous judgment and ambition to let me appreciate it." As he said, an appreciation flashed in his eyes: "When you looked at me that day, I can be sure that you will not be willing to be a small official, but want to have a great achievement in this world. The State of Song has always been wary of you generals. Only by submitting to my Daliao can you show your ambitions and show your strengths!"

Sun Tu really didn't expect that just because of this glance, the Liao people would appreciate and even value him so much. This sounds even more incredible than the love between men and women at first sight.

Seeing that he was a little stunned, the other party said again: "In the past few days, I have found a lot of things about you. As a small ninth-rank military officer, the head of Kaifeng Prefecture, you dare to be enemies with your marquis of Song State, and you dare to withstand the pressure of your superiors to wipe out gang members with a strong backer and secret whereabouts. Your Sun Tu is indeed outstanding in ability, but your official position is really not worthy of you. This is the attitude of Song State toward talented generals like you. Don't you want to change all this?

"It's different in our Daliao. As long as you have the ability and make contributions, I can guarantee that you will be successful in your career and will soon be able to master a decent army, instead of just a few dozen subordinates who can help you run and do the job as you are now. And I can also guarantee that as long as you follow me back to Daliao, I can make you a military officer of the fifth rank or above within a year. How about it, are you willing? You Han people have a saying that good birds choose trees, good ministers choose masters. Smart people like you should know how to choose, right?" As he said that, he looked at Sun Tu sincerely and expectantly, waiting for him to respond.
