Another year of autumn is thick, and the city is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.

In the golden autumn of August in the fifth year of Xuanhe, Sun Tu once again came to Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty.

After several years, I came to Bianjing again, and the scenery is still the same, what about the lovely people?

At this time, Tokyo Bianliang is still the most prosperous city in the world. No one would have thought of it, with flowers blooming and fire cooking oil. No one would have thought that in a few years, this great capital that never sleeps will face a real disaster and become the ultimate burial of this era.

Therefore, the people here still live their life of being either wonderful or rehabilitated. There are crowds of people everywhere in the city gates, and ships are coming and going on the Bian River. Everything here looks better than it has been painted. It will surely be more vivid and vivid. Every person entering and leaving the city gate has confidence and hope on his face. This city is as open and tolerant as many years ago.

It was not until Sun Tu's team came to the city gate that they were blocked by the soldiers guarding the city as if they were facing a great enemy. In fact, as early as after entering the capital area, Sun Tu and the others had been taken care of by government officials everywhere. After all, there were too many people in their ranks, and they were all armoured and armoured, holding weapons. It looked too majestic and mighty, and no one dared to let them come and go freely.

In front of the capital of the Song Dynasty, this vigilance became even worse. Sun Tu even saw a cold light flashing from the top of the city. Almost a hundred archers were aiming at his team with their divine arm bows. However, this still did not satisfy him, because all this happened when he had arrived at the gate of the city. If such an enemy army really appeared here, the capital of the Song Dynasty would really face a disaster.

It was not until Sun Tu took out the relevant investigation documents that he had indeed proved that he was escorted to the prisoner to Beijing to see him, and his vigilance in front of the door was a little relaxed, and then the matter was reported and a clear reply was given more than an hour later. The two thousand accompanying soldiers immediately turned around, and Sun Tu could only take up two hundred personal soldiers to escort Fang La and other serious offenders into the city.

The soldiers under his command were naturally dissatisfied and worried about the court's obvious behavior against Sun Tu. Tang Feng frowned even more: "General..." He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Sun Tu waved his hand: "Just do as it should, everyone has come. What's the difference between two hundred and two thousand? Moreover, I have no choice for a long time."

Yes, there are hundreds of thousands of troops garrisons in Bianjing City, and they are the legendary most elite imperial guards in the Song Dynasty. Compared with this number, there is no difference between Sun Tu bringing 2,000 or 200 troops into the city, because if Zhao Ji really wants to take his life, no one can save him.

Of course, the more important point is that Sun Tu's weakness has been tightly grasped. Even if he brought an army of 200,000, he would not dare to act rashly. This time, Sun Tu accepted such an obviously unfavorable order from the court, stayed away from Jiangnan, which was not yet fully in control, and stayed away from his subordinates and brothers and tens of thousands of soldiers to Bianjing, just because his family, Yaer, Hu Rong, and his son, whom he had never seen once for more than a year, were all in Bianjing City!

This is the key to Sun Tuwu's choice. The person he cared about was secretly received by someone a few months ago. Then, before the edict proclaiming his entry into the capital, he had already seen the letter that was not explicitly stated but with a deep threat. In this case, unless Sun Tuzhen was determined to rebel regardless of everything and completely abandoned these people he cared about the most, he would have to come back.

Another thing he did not say explicitly, since the court could bring his family to the capital, what about the wives and children of the soldiers who stayed in Shandong? So in fact, it is far from the point of being able to really be an enemy of the court, and he is still just an ordinary general who is loyal to the Song Dynasty, but acts a little too aggressive and is too brave.

As Sun Tu made the final decision, the soldiers under his command did not dare to say anything more, but just saluted him solemnly. Then he watched his general. With the attention of countless complex gazes on the city, inside and outside the city, he escorted the prisoners through the city gate and truly entered Tokyo Bianliang again.

If Sun Tu, who came to Bianjing from Shandong for the first time, was nervous and longing, he was now alert and uneasy. Because until now, he didn't know what kind of situation he was about to face, what attitude the emperor, courtiers and the people would have towards him, and how his family would be...

However, after finally entering the city and being greeted by cheers, this thought quickly dissipated a lot: "General Sun is mighty! To quell the thieves in Jiangnan, General Sun is really a famous general of my Song Dynasty!"

Somehow, Sun Tu's identity had spread out, and then all the people around him spontaneously made their way out. Flashes of cheers rose like waves. Countless people looked at the soldiers who fought against the turmoil from Jiangnan with respect, and even many people came up to deliver all kinds of wine and food to their hands.

This made Sun Tu and the others a little confused. After a while, Sun Tu smiled and took the gifts, and then repeatedly made thanks. At this moment, his uneasiness and dissatisfaction also dissipated a lot. No matter what the treacherous slander in the court thought, at least the people were cheering and cheering for themselves and the soldiers.

Facing this scene, the officials of the Ministry of War who led them into the city were also a little surprised, but in front of Sun Tu and others, the small official did not dare to be too presumptuous. He could only whisper a few words to make Sun Tu thank the enthusiastic people again, and then continue to move forward and rush to his destination.

What Sun Tu is going to at this time is naturally not his home. In fact, he doesn't know where his home is now, and where Ya'er and the others are. Since he entered the capital, what he had to do next was to settle down in the inn, wait for the next court meeting with the emperor, report on his duties, and set up his official position before he could officially return home. Although these rules in the officialdom were not followed by many people decades ago, Sun Tu, as the target of public criticism, still had to follow the rules at this time, otherwise it would only cause trouble for himself.

Fortunately, his status is very low now, and he is a great minister, so no one dares to make trouble in the reception. Therefore, the accommodation environment of the inn this time was quite good. A large courtyard with five entrances was enough for him and his 200 subordinates to live comfortably.

As for important criminals such as Fang La, they were taken away by officials sent by the Ministry of Justice after entering the city. What awaited them was the most severe punishment in the Song Dynasty. Death was a relief for them, but now they were no longer up to their own decisions on life and death.

After staying in the inn, Sun Tucai formally asked the official of the Ministry of Rites, wanting to know when he would meet him. In this regard, the official only gave a vague answer: "There will be a court meeting in the palace the next day, but the official may not have time to meet the general, so it may be postponed later, but within this month, the general will always meet the official."

Okay, it's just August now, which means that Sun Tu might have to stay in this inn for more than half a month before he can truly meet his family. This is so uneasy and tormenting. But now that things have come to this point, he has no better way, so he can only endure it for the time being.

But things were so unexpected. On the night he entered Beijing, a person who made him missed him quietly appeared in front of his door...

"Taiwei, Sun Tu has entered Bianjing by noon this day and entered the inn in the east of the city." When Gao Qiu returned to the mansion from the yamen, his confidants came forward to report this important matter.

When Gao Qiu heard this, his eyes flashed: "Has he really arrived? How many people are entering the city? How many reactions are he?"

"As we had already ordered before, he only brought about two hundred followers into the city. In addition, he acted quite calmly after entering the city and did not make any mistakes, but..."

"But what?"

"But shortly after he entered the city, his identity was known to the people. Many people came forward to greet him and cheered, which made his reputation in the capital suddenly become popular, which made us unable to do the back-end in the inn." The man asked the question carefully and looked at Gao Qiu again.

Sure enough, Gao Qiu's face suddenly became dark after hearing this: "How could this happen? Didn't I ask you to say hello to you so that you won't let someone reveal their identity?"

"According to what we found, someone deliberately leaked the news, but this person did not have any contact with Sun Tu or Tong Guan, so the young people couldn't think of the inside story for a while."

"Hmph..." Gao Qiu snorted with some annoyance. Although it was just a trivial matter, it still made him very unhappy, and it also made him suddenly alert. It seems that the backer behind Sun Tu is more than Tong Guan, and he must deal with it carefully in the future.

Of course, it doesn't matter to make Sun Tu lose his power. He just wanted Sun Tu to be ugly after entering Beijing, and even a small matter would not mess up his overall plan.

But he was unhappy after all and needed to find a catharsis, so he asked casually: "What about the naughty guy? Where did he go to cause trouble today?" The naughty guy he said was naturally Gao Duo and Gao Yanei.

The confidant around him hesitated for a moment before someone replied in a low voice: "Master, Yanei has gone to Kaifeng Prefecture prison and has not yet come back. He said he is going to exclaim his anger..."

"Hmph, I've suffered a lot because of his nonsense before, and I'm still unwilling to learn from my lessons. Let him come to see me later. When Sun Tu comes, at least don't let him cause trouble outside during this period!" Although he has a lot of dissatisfaction with his son, he is the closest relative of his father and son after all, so Gao Qiu still has to consider his son's safety.
