"Zong Rulin, my brother keeps his word. As long as you surrender, he won't kill you if he says he won't kill you. There are bold heroes here, but there aren't as many schemes and tricks as in the imperial court!"

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile.

"If you want my old life, you should do it quickly!"

Zong Ze took a sip of his wine and looked at the crowd.

This insistence made Sun Lei somewhat at a loss as to what to do. It would be a pity to kill him. If he didn't kill him, he would have nothing to do with this stubborn old man.

"In that case, I will fulfill you!"

Sun Lei winked at Shi Qian beside him.

Shi Qian knowingly pulled out the dagger from his waist and walked towards Zongze, but Zongze didn't react at all when he saw this, instead he ate happily, as if he was about to eat the last meal of beheading.

Shi Qian was not in a hurry, he just watched Zong Ze eat and drink.

"Go ahead!"

Zong Ze looked up at Shi Qian and said after eating and drinking.

"hey-hey!"

Shi Qian raised the knife and dropped it, but the knife missed half an inch and missed Zongze's neck.

Zong Ze immediately realized that something was wrong, and stretched out his hand to push Shi Qian away, but as soon as Shi Qian opened his hand holding the dagger, a burst of white powder rushed towards Zong Ze.

"you!"

Zong Ze wanted to get up in a rage, but after inhaling the powder, he was so weak that he couldn't speak. He could only stare at Sun Lei and fell to the ground.

"Isn't it dead?"

Sun Lei looked at Zong Ze who was lying on the ground and his eyes were wide open, and asked Shi Qian.

"Brother, don't worry, this powder will make him sleepy for two or three days at most."

Shi Qian shook his head and said, these medicinal powders are a kind of incense, commonly used by people who abduct women and children, Shi Qian is not good at martial arts, so he prepared some for self-defense.

"Take it away!"

Sun Lei nodded and said.

"How does brother plan to deal with this Zongze?"

Xu Guanzhong looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"The old man who doesn't eat oil and salt, what else can he do? Lock it up first."

Sun Lei shook his head helplessly.

"This Zongze hides really deeply. I didn't expect an old and weak general judge to have such martial arts."

Li Zhu sighed, he didn't even see that Zong Ze was hiding something.

"Normal, don't look at him as just a small Dengzhou general judge, he just hasn't been reused, otherwise it would not be difficult for him to pacify the world."

Sun Lei shook his head.

"Brother, should we go back to Liangshan?"

Gongsun Sheng looked at Sun Lei and asked, Sun Lei has been out for too long, it's time to go back.

"Well, but there is no rush to go back, let's go to Liaodong again."

Sun Lei nodded.

"Liaodong?"

Everyone looked at Sun Lei in puzzlement.

"Didn't you also see the last battle, this time I will let you fight the Jurchens to try the depth."

Sun Lei looked at everyone and said.

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard that this was exactly what they needed. How could they find countermeasures if they didn't know the depth of the enemy?
"Where is brother going?"

Xu Guanzhong asked.

"Just go to the vicinity of Suzhou (Dalian) in Liaodong! This time we have too few people, and it is impossible to go deep into the hinterland of Liaodong. Let's try it out along the coastline."

Sun Lei thought for a while and said.

Only then did Xu Guanzhong heave a sigh of relief. Suzhou is close to the sea, and the terrain is complex, so they can withdraw from the battlefield at any time, which is suitable for them to test the sneak attack.

"Xiaoer, Fei Bao, take the fleet of our headquarters to stay on Salmon Island temporarily. If there is any movement from the southern navy, I will send someone to help!"

Sun Lei looked at Ruan Xiaoer and Fei Bao and said.

"Brother, the Southern Navy is here, I will destroy it later!"

Fei Bao patted his chest and said, with the help of artillery, their fleet is invincible at sea, and the Southern Navy will also deliver food when they come.

"Don't be careless. There are many generals in the south who are good at water warfare, and the soldiers are well-trained. Be careful not to lose. When the next defense is changed, Meng Kang and Ye Chun should be able to design and build a new sea-going ship."

Sun Lei said with a smile that the loach warship is still not suitable for sea combat, especially when it is prone to rollover when there are winds and waves.

"Don't be idle here, find a suitable island to build a base, and the ship will be repaired here in the future, so as to save the trouble of sailing back in the river."

Sun Lei looked at Ruan Xiaoer and Fei Bao and said, Meng Kang and Ye Chun have been studying ships at sea for a long time, and have already figured out how to improve them, but now there are no craftsmen or places to build ships. Not to mention the lack of wood for shipbuilding, the ship still had to go back to Liangshanbo to build it.

"Yes, brother!"

Ruan Xiaoer and Fei Bao clasped their fists at Sun Lei and said, continuing to build ships means continuing to expand the naval force, which they are happy to see.

Early the next morning, Sun Lei boarded the ship with his men, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi commanded the soldiers, and the fleet quickly set sail for Liaodong.

Terengganu.

"Is there no news yet!"

Wang Shizhong stayed up all night, waiting for Zong Ze's news, but there was no news until dawn.

"Prefect, there is no news. Several boats have been dispatched in batches, but none of them have returned yet!"

Team trainer Pan Shanyu replied.

"Something must have happened! I said it was too risky, but Zongze just wouldn't listen!"

Wang Shizhong said angrily, Zong Ze had to take the blame for this accident, and Yizhou Tongju was killed by thieves, so how could he explain to the higher authorities.

"Quick, call Sun Li!"

Wang Shizhong yelled at the servants of the government office, because Sun Li was so drunk at the banquet, he didn't come to the government office for a day off yesterday.

The guard hurried to Sun Li's residence.

At this time, Sun Li was still lying on the bed with a veil on his forehead, his lips were chapped, his face was pale, and he looked seriously ill.

Sun Li hasn't slept since returning home the day before yesterday, and he waited all day yesterday. There has been no news about Zong Ze and Dajun. Sun Li knew that something must have happened to Zong Ze, so he just drank for two days and nights without eating or sleeping Drinking a little tea is to make myself listless and weak.

"Sun Tijutsu, the magistrate is summoned!"

A guard ran into Sun Li's residence and shouted.

"Quick, help me up!"

Sun Li quickly got up from the easy chair, but he collapsed weakly as soon as he got up.

"The official is seriously ill, please go back and give me some kind words!"

The lady of the Le family hurriedly supported Sun Li and said to the guard.

"Master Zhizhou is in a hurry to summon, Sun Tijutsu should go quickly, Master Zhizhou can't afford to blame him!"

The guards were also very anxious seeing Sun Li like that, but Sun Li collapsed after such a big incident, Zhizhou must be furious.

"Help me up, I'll go to the government office now!"

Sun Li got up weakly, and several soldiers hurried forward to help Sun Li go to the government office.

"What do you look like!"

Master Wang was furious when he saw Sun Li like that. The situation in Dengzhou is critical now. Sun Li, as a soldier and horse commander, was so drunk as to lead the water army!

Sun Li could only plead guilty weakly, Wang Shizhong couldn't ask more questions, so he had to tell the news about Zong Ze's accident.

"Something happened to Zong Tong!"

Sun Li pretended to be pale with shock, his already pale face was even more bloodless.

"When can you send troops to rescue?"

Wang Shizhong looked at Sun Li and asked, Sun Li is the only one in Dengzhou who can lead troops to sea to fight.

"The last general will go here!"

Sun Li stood up reluctantly and said.

"How do you fight like this?"

Wang Shizhong looked at Sun Li and frowned and said, Sun Li couldn't stand still, so he was going to die if he went out.

"The last general... The last general will be fine after two days of rest!"

Sun Li lowered his head and said.

"Okay, in two days you lead the troops to rescue Zong Tongpan!"

Master Wang nodded.
