It is the 14th day of the first lunar month that is the first day of the Lantern Festival on all prefectures and counties in the world.

Even with the storm yesterday, countless wealthy merchants took out all kinds of lanterns prepared early this morning. After dusk, various lanterns shone brightly on various streets of Jiangzhou City, which almost attracted the people of the city to watch, and it was very lively and celebrating.

Of course, there are exceptions. At this time, there were people sitting around Sun Tu’s main hall. They were all frowning, and they didn’t have the slightest celebration of meeting the festival.

Although Cai Jiu did not pursue Sun Tu's crime of deception yesterday after Song Jiang could not stand the punishment and honestly confessed that he was just pretending to be crazy, his situation was still a bit subtle, so it was difficult to defend Song Jiang again. He could only see that he was taken away and was thrown into the prison of the state yamen. Now Song Jiang is completely out of his care.

Then in less than half a day, Dai Zong passed the news that Song Jiang was locked up by the government for writing anti-poems to some friends and brothers outside the city, and let those who should have been at home to celebrate the New Year with peace of mind all rushed back. Among them were the familiar Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng brothers, and the Mu Hong and Muchun brothers who had never met before. Li Kui, who had been spending money in the casinos for the New Year, was the last one to learn the news. He had just arrived at Sun Tu, but he was the one who was most eager to show.

In a somewhat depressing atmosphere, Li Kui was the first to come to Sun Tu and jumped up and shouted, "Sun Tu, aren't you in charge of the prison camp? Why did you take Brother Gongming away? You are so unfaithful, you only care about yourself, but you don't care about Brother Gongming's life or death. I, Li Kui, misread you!" In desperation, he even changed his name to Sun Tu, and his attitude was extremely bad.

This made Lu Da, Yang Zhi and Tang Feng next to him very angry. He was about to speak up for protection, but was interrupted by Sun Tu's wave of his hand: "Tie Niu just cares about Brother Song's safety and speaks like this. You don't have to take it too seriously."

"Yes, Brother Tieniu, don't blame Brother Sun. Although he is in charge of the prison camp, he is only Cai Jiu's subordinate after all. It is impossible for him to disobey his superiors' order to protect Brother Gongming." Zhang Shun also hurriedly said to him. Seeing that he spoke, the other people also agreed and comforted Li Kui.

But Li Kui is a man who is not good at being in trouble. He has always only obeyed Dai Zong and respected Song Jiang. The rest of the people were not taken seriously by him. At this time, he just stared at Sun Tu with a pair of bull eyes: "You said it nicely. Since you are Brother Gongming's brother, just think of helping him get out of trouble. I have made up my mind and go to the prison to rescue Brother Gongming. If you really treat us as brothers, go together and use your strength!" As he said that, he got up and wanted to leave.

The others were stunned, and then the Mu brothers stood up and said, "Yes, our brothers also admire Brother Gongming's character very much. This time, when he committed a crime, we cannot save him. Let's go with Tie Niu and save him."

"I'm too..." Zhang Heng was influenced by them and quickly got up to follow him, but was pulled by Zhang Shun and Li Jun at the same time. Obviously, the two of them were more thoughtful than the others. Sun Tu's face turned pale and immediately shouted: "What are you all talking crazy? Are you really planning to rebel? Do you think that only Brother Song is too lonely in the prison, and want to go in and accompany him more?"

"Drink... I knew you would stop me. It seems that Sun Tuanlian is indeed a court official, and he is not on the same journey with our brothers." Mu Hong took the lead in reacting and looked at him with suspicion. Li Kui's reaction was even more intense. He immediately turned his back: "I just said that you have a big problem. Now I'm not willing to save my brother. Maybe you have to make Brother Gongming take him by the government, otherwise how could he be imprisoned in the prison camp? "As he said, "I'll turn around and rush towards Sun Tu fiercely.

Sun Tu's expression became increasingly ugly. He really couldn't have imagined that these people who were regarded as friends would look at him like this at this time, and they didn't think about him at all. They just thought about how to save Song Jiang. Sun Tu was an official in the court and had his family in the city. How could he take the risk to save people at will and be charged with the crime of being a traitor?

Li Kui didn't give you a chance to reason at all. He was about to take action when he said something bad. Seeing the other party rushed towards him fiercely, he clenched his fists and wanted to fight back. Unexpectedly, Lu Da, who was beside him, moved faster than him, and had already flashed to the front of him, shouted softly, and punched him straight. The fist as big as a vinegar bowl hit Li Kui's fist.

"Bang..." With this punch, Li Kui's momentum of rushing forward was paused, and then his body was driven back by force. If Mu Chun hadn't blocked it in the back, he would have been hit by the punch and hit the wall. But Li Kui, who was frustrated, did not retreat but advanced. He roared again and shouted: "I knew you were uneasy and kind. I'll kill you first and then save your brother!" Before he finished speaking, the man had pounced on him again like a mad tiger. At the same time, he wiped his hand around his waist, and a short knife was already in his hand, and he quickly penetrated towards Lu Da.

Sun Tu could no longer bear this moment. He suddenly stood up to meet him, and his left leg suddenly raised high and kicked out like a long whip. He just kicked Li Kui's right hand holding the knife, letting his wrist loosen, and the knife fell to the ground. At the same time, Sun Tu's body did not stop and had quickly come to the other party. When he was stunned for a moment, his right hand had already poked out like lightning, and he had strangled Li Kui's thick neck. With the force of his tightness, he had difficulty breathing, and his black face turned red quickly. Then he kept his steps and rushed straight to the wall with Li Kui and hit him heavily.

This series of movements was as fast as a rabbit's rise and fall. In the blink of an eye, Li Kui, who was still clamoring just now, became a poor person in his hand who could be twisted at any time. The others were stunned. The Mu brothers were even more shocked and pulled out the short knife with them, as if they were trying their best, but they were held down by Lu Da and Yang Zhi first, and they could not help, and they could not even move. However, Li Jun and Zhang brothers were a little confused at this time. They had a very good relationship with Sun Tu. Now they could not just turn against each other, right?

Sun Tu on the other side was strangling Li Kui's throat, holding him up and pressing him against the wall, letting him struggle for a while, then he relaxed his hand and threw the man on the ground. Then he stared at the guy who was breathing with a high profile and said, "Don't rely on your simple mind to be so arrogant. If you want to hurt my Sun Tu's brother, you are not qualified!"

As soon as these words were said, the faces of the people present changed slightly. They had already heard that in Sun Tu's mind, perhaps only Yang Zhi and Lu Da were his confidant brothers, and the others could not be ranked at all. Or perhaps, even Song Jiang and Sun Tu never really took him seriously.

"Also, I will only say it once - I have never been malicious about Brother Song, but I am a court official and have family here. It is impossible for you to let me risk endless troubles to save Song Jiang, and it is not realistic. I am afraid that there will be some arrangements in the prison of the state yamen, just waiting for you to fall into it." Sun Tu swept across these guys who only focus on loyalty but have no brains and said, "But this does not mean that I will harm you. If Song Jiang was really hurt by me, I can kill you all based on your words and deeds just now, and really treat yourself as a character. In my Sun Tu's eyes, you are just a group of wild goblins!"

Just now, when Sun Tu explained to them in a good voice to appease these people's emotions, both the Mu brothers and Li Kui were dissatisfied and even refuted them repeatedly. But now, when he suddenly turned against each other and showed martial arts skills far beyond these people, the few people did not dare to speak out, but just lowered their heads to listen.

Sun Tu felt more and more disdainful when he saw their performance. He had a good impression of the heroes of Liangshan, and felt that the people there were all brave and resourceful heroes. But after this contact, he could see that in fact, there were also mixed things here, and most of them could not be called heroes. At least the reckless Li Kui and the Mu brothers who were arrogant at first and respectful at the beginning were not worthy of being called heroes.

"You don't think about it. Now Song Jiang has been regarded as a traitor by the prefect. How could the prison where he was imprisoned remain as relaxed as before? Although the soldiers in my village have not moved, I am afraid that there are hundreds or even more troops guarding the prison. Unless you are all masters of the enemy of ten thousand people, you will never want to rescue him from the prison. Moreover, Song Jiang was tortured before, and it is difficult to walk. Even if he can really rescue people from the prison, it will be difficult to take him safely from Jiangzhou. You don't think about it, why did President Dai tell you that you only want you to come to see me, and wait here instead of letting you go to the prison to save people? It is because he knows that there is no plan to save people like this, and you must make a long-term plan." Sun Tu said so after suppressing his anger in his heart.

Seeing that several people were finally convinced by their words, Sun Tu snorted again: "And I put my words here. Although I am friends with Song Jiang, it is impossible for me to leave my family and property for him. Once you dare to influence me in order to save him, I have to take action first and solve your troubles first. Now you are all staying at me in peace, and it is not too late to make a decision when Dean Dai comes back." You have to be strong with these guys. As for their perception of themselves, it is not something Sun Tu can care about at this time.

The few people were completely suppressed by Sun Tu, and no one dared to do anything unusual again. Even Li Kui sat back honestly after getting up, but the atmosphere in the hall seemed a little strange. Everyone just glanced at each other, but no one spoke any more.

After all, Sun Tu's words were indeed a little beyond their expectations, and even Lu Da and Yang Zhi couldn't accept them.
