The snowflakes are fluttering, the north wind is whistling, and the world is vast...

Although there are many chaos in Tokyo, it is still just a little ripples splashed in the pool in this big city with a population of one million. Most people do not know that there is such a change. People just stay at home to keep warm, waiting for the wind and snow to pass as soon as possible.

Most of the shops along the street have been closed, and only a few are still lit up, and the aroma of wine and dishes is faintly revealed. Liufangju is such a restaurant, but there are not many customers, only about ten tables, and even the tables on the bottom floor are not satisfactory.

By the way, this Tokyo store belongs to the Tong family and is also under Tong Mu's name. Since Sun Tu helped attract many customers with new dishes such as fried chicken, the transaction here has been extremely prosperous and has become a famous restaurant in Bianjing City. Today, Sun Tu brought people here, which made Manager Wu very happy. Even though the weather was not good, it should have closed, it tried its best to entertain their guests, and all the good wine and dishes were served.

At this time, on the third floor of the restaurant, Sun Tu was sitting opposite Di Yingyang, but did not drink and eat, but played chess. Moreover, he was not the most popular black and white Go at this time, but was actually a chess that many scholars regarded as not being on the table - because Sun Tu didn't know how to play Go, he could only use chess to pass the time - while Qin Hui was watching horizontally. This person who had already been transferred from the Hanlin Academy by Sun Tu'er and has now become an official under the Imperial City Department, but his status has not been improved much.

The game of chess has reached the last moment, and Sun Tu's red side has reached the end of his life. Although there are still one car and one cannon, he can only be trapped in the rear of his home because he wants to rescue the old coach. However, Di Yingyang has all the carriages, horses and cannons, and two small pawns have penetrated into Sun Tuzhonggong, and he is about to kill his boss on the spot.

This made Sun Tu feel helpless. After all, he had played three games in a row with Di Yingyang, but he lost a lot of losses. This really made his boss look dull. But soon, Sun Tu gently put the chess piece in his hand and sighed: "Forget it, it seems that I am far from your opponent when it comes to playing chess." After pausing, his tone changed again: "What do you think we are in this chessboard?"

This question obviously made both of them slightly surprised. Di Yingyang quickly laughed and said, "Of course we are chess players. Everything is under our control. Now the bandits in Wuyou Cave hidden in Tokyo have been arrested and removed one by one, and they can also dig out all the backers behind them. The victory is already in front of us."

"If you really think so, you will become a chess piece in the hands of others, and it is a chess piece that is completely unaware of your situation." Sun Tu disturbed the chessboard in front of him with his hands, shook his head with a smile.

Qin Hui showed a thoughtful look: "Haven the Marquis sees something wrong?" To be honest, he was like Di Yingyang, and he never thought of such a change.

"Actually, I thought the same as you at the beginning. I felt that all this was in my control. Whether it was to find the hiding place of those ditch mice, or to bring people from the Ministry of Justice, the Street Department and Kaifeng Prefecture to help, it seemed so natural. But after some thought, I found that things were flying far away. I thought it was so simple. It was really easy to go, just as even God was helping us, wanting us to uproot these enemies." Sun Tu said as he reached out and pushed open a line of windows, letting the cold wind blow in, causing the unprepared two people to shiver.

Di Yingyang's face became solemn: "Isn't this the truth?"

"How can there be such an easy thing in the world? What's more, in the case of unjust reputation, why would those people take risks because of your words and do things that may be endless? Do you think that Zhao Kangming is really a reckless man who can be filled with blood and ignore everything by your righteous words? If he is such a person, he will not have been in the important position of the street Sisicheng for three years."

Sun Tu's eyes fell outside the window, as if he was trying to find something through the gloomy wind and snowy days: "As for Mr. Wei and Kaifeng Prefecture, it is even more interesting. Wei Cheng never received attention from his father, but now because of his remarks, Mr. Wei took risks to help us catch the bandits regardless of his own safety? This is because he is hiding his superiors. No one dares to do such a thing, right? What is Cui Lue Shang's identity in Kaifeng Prefecture? He can respond to some things? As long as he thinks about some things, he can see many problems. It's just that we were blinded by the benefits at that time, so we didn't notice it."

After hearing this statement, Di Yingyang and Qin Hui became more nervous. Thinking about it carefully, things were really like this. Everything before was too smooth, and it didn't seem to be true. Although Sun Tu had a reputation in Beijing, when it comes to people in the officialdom, he was not even a younger generation. How could he easily let these people risk being demoted and dismissed from office to help him? Even if the matter was accomplished, it would inevitably cause criticism and impeachment, and the consequences would be greater.

"So the Marquis thinks that there is someone behind all this to help us do everything?" Qin Hui frowned and asked, "Who will that be?"

"Yes, who would that be? But I am more accustomed to saying that they are using our plan to completely mess up the waters of the capital and officialdom. So in my opinion, in today's game, we are not chess players, but just an unknown piece. No matter how important it is, the piece is a piece after all, and after the matter is done, it may be easily given up." Speaking of this, Sun Tu's eyes became sharper, and he would not be willing to turn into an uncontrolled piece by himself.

Whether it was because of these words that broke everything or the north wind that kept blowing in, the two of them shivered again without realizing it. Then, Di Yingyang stared at Sun Tu: "Since you have seen through all this, you must have prepared and have a backup plan, right?" After several months of contact with Sun Tu, he was already familiar with the personality of this brother-in-law.

Sun Tu smiled: "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have chosen to take charge of today's bandit suppression. Now it's almost done..." Speaking of this, he leaned his head and looked down at the street. The two of them looked at it and found that there was an extra person below. At this time, they were pointing at a restaurant half a street away. Although they had not conveyed the words, the meaning was already very clear--the person Sun Tu was looking for was in that inconspicuous restaurant.

Seeing this, Sun Tu immediately stood up and walked downstairs. Qin Hui followed up and whispered in a low voice: "Mr. Marquis, can you arrange all this? Thinking of using the people who charge forward in front of us to have a very high position in the court. We just came to expose it like this. Isn't it a bit dangerous?"

His concerns were exactly what Di Yingyang thought. The other party was only above Sun Tu and came to the door rashly. Once the other party turned against each other in anger, his situation would become more and more dangerous. This made him look at Sun Tu with some concern. Although he had not spoken, his intention was already very obvious.

Sun Tu kept walking and said, "Because of this, some words should be explained in person, otherwise they will only become more unscrupulous. Moreover, now the initiative is with me. Only when I go there will be bargaining chips and opportunities for negotiations. Once it is late, it will be irreversible."

When he came downstairs, the guards guarding below immediately stood up, looking like they were about to follow the battle, and they were really murderous. But Sun Tu only waved his hand: "You all stay here, wait for the news to come before you can send it to the Li family restaurant there. I will come."

For these people, Sun Tu's words were imperial edicts. Even if they were worried, they no longer questioned a word. After whispering, they sat back again. Sun Tu, accompanied by Di Yingyang and Qin Hui, walked out of the restaurant slowly, braved the wind and snow, and led by his subordinates who were instructing the position just now, towards the restaurant.

When they came to this restaurant that was not too luxurious and conspicuous, Sun Tu paused and his eyes wandered around. After a while, he said, "You don't have to be so careful, I'm just here to make a clear statement. No matter who is above you, you will go and pass on a message, saying that when the Marquis of Yue Sun Tu comes to see him, if he doesn't see him, then everything will be done today. Don't think about treating me, Sun Tu as a gun."

It was not until this time that Di Yingyang was somewhat frightened to find that there were many people ambushing the surrounding darkness, and these people were still holding long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows. This was not a formation that ordinary court officials could use.

However, Sun Tu completely ignored these things and just stood in front of the building and waited quietly. After a while, the door of the restaurant finally opened, and a man said in a clear voice: "Since it is the visit of the Grand Marshal Yue, please come in."

Seeing this, Sun Tu nodded slightly. The moment he walked in, he suddenly felt something. He looked up and met the eyes of a Yingting man standing by the window and lowered his head down. Then, Sun Tu's eyes also condensed. At this moment, he had guessed the other party's identity.

At the same time, in the Political Affairs Hall, Cai Jing put a secret letter he had sent before into the brazier in front of him. He watched the flames swallow it. In the end, there were only two words that made the final dying struggle in the flames. Those two words were "Prince"!
