"Sun Li, it's easy to go back to Liangshan. Just a word from me, brother, but have you thought about the future?"
Seeing Sun Li's behavior, Sun Lei stood up and patted Sun Li on the shoulder.
"From now on, I will go through fire and water for my brother, no matter what!"
Sun Li immediately expressed his loyalty, and once he reached Liangshan, he was determined to follow Sun Lei in rebellion.
"With your ability, you said that if you were given a lower position than Lehe, Sister Gu, Sun Xin, Xie Zhen, and Jie Bao, would you accept it?"
Sun Lei looked at Sun Li and asked, "Everyone has a competitive spirit. The more capable a person is, the stronger the competitive spirit. No one wants to be inferior to others, let alone those who are not as capable as themselves."
Sun Li's lips twitched, he didn't know what to say. Among the people in Dengzhou, he was the only one with the highest martial arts. After going to Liangshan, he couldn't be at the bottom among the people in Dengzhou.
"Lehe, Sun Xin, and Sister-in-law Gu are now in charge of intelligence and have made great contributions to Liangshan!"
"Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Zou Yuan, and Zou Run participated in the battle of Yanyun and immediately made a lot of contributions. They are still guarding the border today."
Sun Lei looked at Sun Li and said, among all the people in Dengzhou, Sun Li is indeed the most powerful, but so far, Sun Li has not made any contribution to Liangshan, but has received a lot of help from Liangshan.
In this way, if Sun Li directly turned against Shui Shan, this position would be a bit difficult to handle. Liang Shan was based on merit and rewards and punishments. If he was given a higher salary, it would be unworthy of the merit, and everyone would definitely be dissatisfied.
Despite Sun Li's ability, if he starts from the grassroots level and sees everyone in Dengzhou ranking above him, Sun Li will definitely not be able to accept this gap in his heart.
Sun Li hesitated. In Tokyo, he was so proud of the spring breeze. Going up Liangshan like this would mean falling from the clouds into a deep valley.
"Brother, I'm willing to help my brother capture Cai You as a pledge of honor!"
Sun Li immediately thought of Cai You, who was a high-ranking official in the imperial court and was currently the envoy of Xuanfu in Hebei. He had an army of 50,000 men. This certificate should have enough credit.
"You also know who Cai You is. He is such a corrupt official. If I kill him, won't I be helping Zhao Ji clean up his family? And you don't need to be exposed in this battle. I can also win these 50,000 troops."
Sun Lei looked at Sun Li and shook his head and said, Cai You is a waste. How do you need Sun Li's help to deal with such a waste?
Sun Li didn't know what to say. He couldn't accept the huge gap in position, but he had no way to change it.
"Actually, it would be good if you just stay with the court and continue to be an undercover agent. If you take action when Liangshan needs you, you have made a great contribution. You will be rewarded for your merits!"
"Look, Ma Lin, Lehe, Sun Xin, and Sister Gu are also undercover in Tokyo."
Seeing that Sun Li was shaken, Sun Lei said with a smile.
"Brother, I'm really a little flustered. If this continues, I will become a lieutenant."
Sun Li expressed his uneasiness. He was worried that he would not be able to make a choice when the time came. As a Taiwei of the Song Dynasty, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist this temptation.
Sun Lei smiled. He knew what Sun Li was thinking. Sun Li was afraid that after becoming a Taiwei, he would not want to go to Liangshan again, because Liangshan would probably not be able to give such an official position as a Taiwei.
"Actually, you can change your thinking. You are now a third-rank official in the Song Dynasty. You should know better than me what the virtues of the imperial court are. Can you help the building to collapse?"
Sun Lei looked at Sun Li and said.
Sun Li was silent. Although he had some abilities, saving the Song Dynasty was definitely not something he could do. At most, he would just be buried with him.
Thinking of this, Sun Li suddenly felt much better. Since the Song Dynasty was going to fall sooner or later, it would be meaningless whether he was a general or a lieutenant. Once the Song Dynasty died, these were just passing clouds. Liangshan was not like those previous uprisings. power, will not give preferential treatment to former officials.
"You can rest assured and lurk in Tokyo. My brother will not forget your contribution to Liangshan."
Seeing that Sun Li was wavering, Sun Lei immediately struck while the iron was hot.
"Brother, how long will I continue to lurk?"
Sun Li hesitated for a while before asking, he wanted to have some idea first.
"Don't worry, it won't exceed three years at most."
Sun Lei said.
"Little brothers listen to their elder brothers!"
Sun Li cupped his fist at Sun Lei.
"Haha, come, drink tea!"
Sun Lei said with a smile.
There was a neighing of war horses, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
"Brother, we caught a spy!"
Wu Song grabbed Luan Tingyu with a smile and shouted.
"Brother, that's my senior brother, Luan Tingyu."
Sun Li quickly said that he knew Luan Tingyu was here to help him.
"Erlang, bring him here!"
Sun Lei shouted with a smile, he dared to be here alone, of course he had arrangements. Not to mention that Sun An was beside him, Wu Song was ambushing outside the woods.
Wu Song brought Luan Tingyu to Sun Lei.
"Brother Sun Lei!"
Luan Tingyu saw a look of surprise on Sun Lei's face. He didn't expect Sun Lei to be here.
"Sit down, have some tea and then go back!"
Sun Lei looked at Luan Tingyu with a smile.
"Teacher Luan, you've been hiding well in the imperial court, but are you thinking of doing something else?"
Sun Lei looked at Luan Tingyu and said.
Sun Li's expression changed slightly. Luan Tingyu had been with him all the time. It was always good for them to discuss it when they were in the court, but now Sun Lei wanted to separate them.
"Brother, if you have anything to do, just ask me!"
Luan Tingyu glanced at Sun Li and knew what Sun Li was thinking, but still did not dare to disobey Sun Lei's words.
"Haha, don't worry, it just gives you each a better chance to perform."
Sun Lei saw Sun Li and Luan Tingyu exchanging glances and said with a smile.
"Teacher Luan, you can develop your career in the Tokyo Left-Behind Department, while Sun Li continues to accumulate merit and strive to become a Taiwei as soon as possible."
Sun Lei looked at Sun Li and Luan Tingyu and said.
"Tokyo Left Behind Division!"
Luan Tingyu immediately understood what Sun Lei meant. The Tokyo Remaining Department was in charge of guarding and repairing the palace and the capital. It was generally the prince or the emperor's most trusted minister who was in charge of suppression matters.
Normally, the Left Behind Department has little sense of existence, but once war breaks out in Tokyo, the Left Behind Department will immediately take charge of the defense inside and outside Tokyo, and its power will skyrocket.
"Brother, are you preparing to capture Tokyo in the future?"
Luan Tingyu was thinking in his mind that Sun Lei asked him to break into the Tokyo Left Behind Department to prepare for the future attack on Tokyo City. If he could get involved in the Stay Behind Department to a certain extent, he might even be able to guard a city gate alone when the war broke out. At that time, he only had to act as an internal response and open the city gate, and Tokyo would fall in an instant.
"Brother, I can do it too!"
Sun Li immediately said that he could also develop in this direction. If he was in charge of the entire Tokyo Left Behind Department, then Tokyo's defense would belong to Liangshan.
"You? It's impossible. The left-behind department is very important. Although you are doing well now, you still can't be in charge of the Tokyo left-behind department."
Sun Lei shook his head and said, although Sun Li now bears the title of the God of War of the Song Dynasty, in the eyes of the emperor, he is only a powerful warrior at best.
Sun Li felt a little regretful, but he also knew in his heart that if he wanted to be in charge of the Tokyo Remaining Department, he would have to operate in Tokyo for at least five or six years before he could gain the emperor's full trust.
