Tong Guan's face once again smiled: "Qianli is indeed a smart person. If the only one who can save you today is me. However, if you want to get rid of the current dilemma, you will have to pay a considerable price. What are you willing?"

"Shis Tong has given instructions, and Sun Tu always follows it." Knowing how dangerous his situation was, Sun Tuzi did not dare to bargain with the other party anymore, and immediately responded without any trouble.

But Tong Guan's conditions still surprised him: "I only want you to do one thing, leave Qingzhou with me and leave Shandong." Sun Tu quickly frowned: "Did Tong Shuai mean to ask the lower officials to resign from all their official positions? Is this not easy..." This is also something he could not accept. Now that he has just gained a foothold in the army, and the Qingzhou army has just improved, how can he be willing to let go?

Tong Guan smiled and shook his head: "I know this is your hard work, and I don't want you to give up such a foundation. It's just to let you leave here temporarily and avoid the open and secret arrows of some people in the court."

"Tong Shuai means..."

"If you stay here, it will be wrong whether you do things or not. If you leave here, you will not be able to find goals and opportunities. Of course, you are the current Jingdong Road Supervisor, and you cannot walk as long as you want, so you need a reason to block everyone's mouth. Just in time, I will be on the Liao Kingdom. I need a guard commander in the envoy team, so you are very suitable."

It was not until this time that Sun Tu understood the real purpose of Tong Guan's sudden arrival in Qingzhou this time, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh. Then he thought about it carefully and felt that his words were indeed reasonable. He and Qingzhou had become the targets of many officials in the court. Leaving at this time is indeed a good way to protect himself.

What's more important is that going to Liao Kingdom with Tong Guan on an envoy is not a serious mission. In this way, his power can be retained. When he comes back a few months later, his military power will naturally be under control. At that time, many people would forget all this, so it would be much more convenient for them to act.

So soon, he clasped his fists and responded, "Since Tong Shuai has this order, the subordinates must obey the order. I wonder if Tong Shuai needs the subordinates to select some elite troops from the Qingzhou army to accompany the team to guard the team?" As soon as he responded to this matter, Sun Tu quickly got into the role.

"I am just thinking about this. This time I go out, I need a guard that you and I can trust. There is no need to be too many. Five hundred people are enough." Tong Guan said, and then stood up: "As long as this matter is done, your contribution will definitely be quite good, and you will lose a lot of trouble. You can prepare well in the past few days. Ten days later, go to Laizhou to meet me. Remember, the people you bring must be loyal and reliable, and you must not be careless."

Sun Tu's expression moved, feeling something strange. Because the Liao Kingdom was in the north of the Song Dynasty, there was a considerable deviation from Laizhou in the northeast. It was against the sea. Could it be that Tong Guan planned to go to sea? But this route was not right. Although the Liao Kingdom also has a sea-to-sea area, it shouldn't be directly towards Youzhou, the local area should be on the mission, so why did he go to sea?

Thinking of this, Sun Tu even felt that Tong Guan had some problems appearing in Shandong. If he really wanted to help him, what he should do at this time was to send someone to summon him, so why should he go this trip in person?

However, although he had doubts in his heart, Sun Tu did not ask in person. After hesitating for a moment, he bowed to the matter. Tong Guan had no intention of explaining it, but just told him not to spread the story of what he had been to this matter, so he hurried away.

Since Tong Guan arrived and left, it was only a short time before and after that, no one noticed except Sun Tu, the officials in the government office. When Sun Tu sent him out of the gate, he was surprised to find that the people who came with him were only forty or fifty years, which was so low-key that he was a little outrageous.

Tong Guan is now the most important figure in the Song Dynasty army. Not to mention that there are tens of thousands of people to protect him when he leaves the capital, for his safety, he must have hundreds of elite soldiers to accompany him. The team of these dozens of people is almost the same as ordinary businessmen. If it weren't for the fact that everyone in the mountains and bandits in Shandong are in danger, maybe someone would have to steal them.

But the more this happens, the more Sun Tu felt that Tong Guan appeared in Shandong must have a deeper meaning. But now is not the time to reveal the answer. Just wait until we go to Laizhou to meet Tong Guan and set off, we should be able to fully understand the inside story.

After seeing off Tong Guan, Sun Tu immediately called Huang Wenbing and other confidants to the government office. After everyone arrived, he stood up solemnly and bowed to Huang Wenbing: "Brother Huang, my Sun Tu was so confused by lard during this period. I hope you don't treat it."

His actions shocked Huang Wenbing very much, so he quickly avoided the emperor and returned the courtesy and said, "Why did the governor say this? How dare the subordinates blame Dujian..." The others were also surprised, and I don't know why he suddenly apologized.

Sun Tu never concealed his own people, so he told his situation out with a serious expression. Now, the expressions of his subordinates also changed, and Lu Da was even more anxious and cursed: "What should I do if I do?"

"Fortunately, there is still a way to save yourself, but I need to take people away from Qingzhou for a while. So everything here will be entrusted to you." Sun Tu's eyes swept across the faces of the people: "In addition, I plan to bring Brother Lu and Brother Wu with me. There are Brother Huang in the civil affairs here and Brother Lin in the military affairs, so I guess there will be no problem."

"Is the Dujian planning to leave the ground in Shandong? Is this really feasible?" Huang Wenbing asked uneasyly.

Sun Tu smiled: "I have my own concerns about this, and someone helps me, so it's not a problem. As for the details, it's hard to say now. Anyway, I will draw 500 elite troops from the army this time, and everything else will be left to you. Don't let Qingzhou cause any trouble. Moreover, as long as I leave here, those who want to get rid of me will be calm, and you won't have to worry anymore."

Seeing that he had made up his mind and had some secret hidden, everyone stopped persuading him. He immediately made a statement, promising that he would take good care of everything in Qingzhou when Sun Tu left. Then Sun Tu smiled satisfied: "There is another point, you can help me take care of Yaer, so don't let her suffer any grievances."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of my wife."

After giving instructing them, Sun Tu asked everyone to disperse and instructed Lu Da and Wu Song to go back and prepare for a long journey. Then he returned home with some thoughts.

In fact, it’s okay to talk to these brothers and subordinates, but they can understand it. Instead, it’s just that Sun Tu felt embarrassed when he told Yaer that he was leaving her for a long time. After all, he had only been married to Yaer for more than half a month. In the future, it might be still during his honeymoon. This would make him feel ashamed.

But for the sake of the future and to ensure the safety of himself and Yaer, Sun Tu can only let down his newlywed wife this time.

Fortunately, Ya'er has always been understanding, and even though she has become Sun Tu's wife now, there has not been much change. After listening to his explanation, although his face was filled with sorrow, he still smiled and nodded, "Since you have to leave for business, Ya'er will naturally not stop you. A real man is determined to be in all directions, how can he be trapped here just because of me, a little girl..."

"Ya'er..." Sun Tu was moved and couldn't help but hug her into his arms. In his opinion, the biggest gain he had since traveled here from a thousand years later was that he had the greatest gain of Ya'er.

"Brother Third, go with peace of mind. Ya'er will be waiting for you to come back here." Ya'er leaned against his arms and murmured softly, but her eyes were a little red, and she was still a little reluctant after all.

After the two of them were so kind for a while, Ya'er remembered something again and whispered: "Third Brother, can you go to the next yard to meet Sister Hu later, and talk to her..."

"Hmm?" Sun Tu was stunned. It was obvious that she knew Hu Rong's feelings for her.

"Third brother, Sister Hu is also deeply in love with you. Ya'er dares not say how generous she is, but I don't want her to be sad because of this. If... if... you and Sister Hu really want to be interested,... it's OK."

Sun Tu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Ya'er was so virtuous and caring, and even such things could be considered for himself. But in the end he didn't dare to make a promise. After all, in this era when all men with status and ability all had three wives and four concubines, it was really difficult for him to be alone. Only Ya'er would be the only woman in his life. Moreover, Hu Rong's feelings for him were so deep that he couldn't bear to refuse or hurt her.

After all, Sun Tu came to the Hu family, which was only a wall away from his house, as Yaer said, and soon saw Hu Rong, who was obviously much thinner than before. Just looking at her pointed chin, she was almost as good as the internet celebrity faces in later generations.

The two of them looked at each other for a while, and then Hu Rong said softly: "Why... why do you want to come to see me today?" She no longer looks like her, and she will never see her spoiledness and straightforwardness when she was in Qingdian Town, but she will become more and more pitiful.

Sun Tu sighed inwardly: "I... am here to say goodbye to you."

"Are you going? Where are you going?" Hu Rong was a little anxious when she heard this and asked quickly.

"It should be that I went to the northern Liao Kingdom and had official duties. I don't want you to think randomly, so... In addition, I will leave for a while, and I hope you can help take care of Yaer."

"Well, I can. Ya'er is very good. She always treats me as her sister, and I treat her as her sister." Although she felt a little disappointed, Hu Rong nodded and responded.

Then there was another silence. Sun Tu really didn't know how to talk to her, so he finally decided to leave. But the moment he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped and did not look back, and said softly: "If you haven't changed your mind when I come back, maybe we can..."

Just this sentence made Hu Rong feel excited and her face was full of light. At this time, Sun Tu had already left quickly as if he had escaped...
