"Second brother, why are you here?" Sun Tu asked slightly surprised. Because he knew very well that the imperial examination would be held in less than a month. Logically speaking, Tong Mu should work hard to study hard at this time and make the final sprint.
"If I didn't come today, how could I see what you are capable of, Sanlang?" Tong Mu laughed and teased, and then said seriously: "You succeeded in the shooting test yesterday and showed your face in front of the emperor. As a How can my friends not come to congratulate me? As for my studies, I have been studying hard every day during this period. It is good to relax a little today." With a wave of his hand, a servant pulled up a cart full of gifts. Sun Tu couldn't tell the difference for a moment, so he could only say: "Second brother, you are too polite."
"You and I don't have to say these polite words." Tong Mu asked curiously while asking someone to pull the gift into the alley, "Where are you going so early in the morning?"
"I asked Tong Shuai for something yesterday, and I was planning to tell that friend the good news today." Sun Tu replied casually, then turned around and went home with him, putting down the gift first.
Upon hearing this, Tong Mu asked, "Are you talking about Lin Chonglin, the instructor of the Forbidden Army?" Obviously, he had heard someone talk about Sun Tu's words at the banquet yesterday. The latter did not hide anything, and immediately nodded and said: "It's him. Coach Lin is very skilled in martial arts, and he has taught me how to use gun and stick many times before. Since I can help him, I will always help him."
"I have heard of Coach Lin's name. He came out on top in last year's military competition." Tong Mu said, and asked with some confusion: "But why did he suddenly have the idea of leaving Beijing? According to Dao theory, there are always more opportunities in Bianjing."
"This...it's a long story. It's just because he had some conflicts with Captain Gao and he was worried about being framed, so he wanted to leave the capital to avoid trouble." Sun Tu asked people to store the gifts in the utility room. While briefly explaining the matter, Tong Mu frowned: "Is there such a thing? But have you ever thought about it, Sanlang? If this happens, you might offend Lieutenant Gao. Don't look at it. It seems that your uncle came forward in this matter and it has nothing to do with you, but there are no airtight walls in Tokyo, and maybe the news of you coming forward to help him will reach Lieutenant Gao's ears."
"I can't take care of this for now, and I believe he wouldn't dare to be an enemy of Tong Shuai." Sun Tu smiled and said. He really didn't think too deeply about this. Before, he only focused on helping Lin Chong out of trouble. .
After some exchanges between the two, the gifts had been placed properly. After Sun Tu thanked them, he felt a little embarrassed. The other party came here specifically to celebrate him today. As the master, he couldn't leave, right? Tong Mu saw what he was thinking at a glance and said with a smile: "Actually, in addition to sending these gifts, I also want to invite you to Fan Lou for a banquet at night to celebrate. I won't delay too long at this time. "
"Going to Fan Tower?" Sun Tu glanced at the other party with some doubts. Since he met him, although Tong Mu had been in and out of many Goulan Restaurants, he had never invited himself to Fan Tower. Why did it suddenly happen today? Have you decided
"Don't you know?" Tong Mu also gave him a strange look: "Tonight is the first time for the Li family to perform on stage in three months. Now many people in the capital are vying to see him. It happens to be Sanlang again. You succeeded in the shooting test this time, so I spent a lot of money to buy two seats for us, so don’t say no."
"Everyone Li? Who is that person?" Sun Tu was still a little confused. To be honest, he really didn't care much about romantic matters. After all, practicing martial arts and calligraphy every day already consumed too much of his energy. Plus some other trivial matters, it was naturally impossible to pay attention to anything else.
"You actually don't even know about Mr. Li? No one will believe that you have been in Tokyo for half a year." Tong Mu's face was full of disbelief, and he sighed twice before explaining. : "The Li family's maiden name is Li Shishi, but she is a famous oiran in Tokyo. She is top-notch in terms of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and music. Especially her singing and dancing, she is one of the best in the capital. Many dignitaries are like her. I came all the way to Tokyo just to see her." At this point, he deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Even today's official family is said to have a close relationship with the Li family..." As he spoke, he showed an ambiguous look. .
Now Sun Tu knew completely. It turned out that he was talking about Master Li. This beauty had her name in history. He had read about her in the book Water Margin. Song Jiang and the others were able to successfully recruit her in the end because of Li Shishi's mediation.
Knowing this, Sun Tu also became somewhat interested. He really wanted to see the true face of this oiran who was so talented in both sex and art that even the emperor was fascinated. So he nodded and said: "In that case, I will follow you, second brother, to learn more about it today."
"Then it's settled. Let's go see Coach Lin first, so that you won't hide things in your mind and be uneasy at night." Tong Mu said and suggested.
Although it felt a little strange that he wanted to go with him, Sun Tu had no objection, because it would be more convincing to bring Tong Guan's grandnephew to see Lin Chong. At that moment, the two of them went out again and rode straight to Lin Chong's house in the southeast of the city.
Behind the two of them, Ya'er, who had been staying in her room, was biting her lip, with a somewhat strange expression on her face, including sadness and complaint... The conversation between Sun Tu and the others just now was silent. She listened to everything he said, and it seemed to have touched a certain idea in her.
Originally, Sun Tu was worried that Lin Chong was now in the military camp, and he would have no choice but to tell his family what he said. But when he knocked on the door and asked, he found that Lin Chong was actually at home, which was an unexpected surprise. But after seeing the other party, he became a little worried again, because Coach Lin looked very bad today, looking worried, and both eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes.
After inviting Sun Tu and the others to sit down, and asking his servants to bring the qi-replenishing guide to entertain the guests, Lin Chong forced a smile and said: "I heard that Sanlang, you performed very well in the shooting test yesterday, and you will definitely get the official title this time. congratulations."
Sun Tu thanked him and then looked at him with concern: "Coach Lin, are you feeling unwell? Why are you so listless?"
"Hey... I'm so scared." Lin Chong glanced at Tong Mu, looking like he was hesitant to speak. Sun Tu immediately understood his concerns, and immediately revealed Tong Mu's identity, and truthfully told the purpose of his visit today: "Now that Mr. Tong is your guarantee, I think Brother Lin, you should feel relieved, right?"
"Are you serious about this? Is Captain Tong really willing to help me transfer out of the capital?" Lin Chong suddenly perked up when he heard this and asked quickly. After receiving a positive answer, he breathed a long sigh of relief: "This is great. Otherwise, Lin Chong really doesn't know how to survive the next days. If you don't know, just The day before yesterday, Lieutenant Gao suddenly sent someone to invite me to come over for a knife competition. I had just spent a thousand gu to buy a precious sword a few days ago. As a result, Lieutenant Gao actually found out about it in just a few days. I refused and followed. Go, but they actually lured me to the White Tiger Hall of the Privy Council. If I hadn't been warned by Saburo, I might have ended up there... "
While talking, Lin Chong remembered the situation at that time - because he was wary, he deliberately paid attention to his surroundings. When the police officer who took him to see Gao Qiu wanted to usher him into a government hall and he was about to leave, Lin Chong realized that something was wrong in time and followed him out regardless of the other party's opinion.
As a result, when I walked far away, I discovered that it was actually the White Tiger Festival Hall, an important military location. It was an important place for the princes and princes to discuss military affairs. Not to mention him as a commander of the Forbidden Army, even the high-ranking military attachés of the court would not dare to approach it easily. Moreover, Lin Chong also brought a knife. Once caught, it would be enough to commit a serious crime of stealing military aircraft.
Fortunately, Lin Chong escaped quickly and was not captured. Then he hurriedly fled the Privy Council on the pretext of other matters. And after returning home, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became. He was even afraid to go back to the military camp, for fear that Gao Qiu would use tricks to frame him again.
When Sun Tu heard this, he was also stunned. Unexpectedly, his reminder actually worked and changed Lin Chong's experience. This gave him more confidence, and he said: "Coach Lin, this may mean that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. Captain Gao can't harm you this time, so you have to calm down for some time. After two days, Tong Shuai will be able to transfer you out of the capital."
"Of course this is the best. I hope Mr. Tong can help me a lot." Lin Chong quickly stood up and begged.
To this, Tong Mu agreed: "Don't worry, as long as my uncle agrees to do something, he will definitely do it."
Hearing this, Sun Tu also showed a happy smile on his face. The change of fate may have begun from this moment!
