That night, Chu Tianya finally slept a little. When he woke up, he smelled the unique fragrance of Xiao Linglong's hair, so he said without opening his eyes, "When did you come?" ”

"When you snore the loudest." Xiao Linglong snuggled up to Chu Tianya's side and stroked his cheek with her hand, "Tianya, you've lost a lot of weight recently. The cheeks are a little sunken. When will you be able to stop for a few days and rest at home? ”

Chu Tianya grabbed her hand and kissed it lightly on the lips, saying, "Your hands are fat." ”

"I heard that it was puffiness." Xiao Linglong said, "Only pregnant women are like this." ”

"Thank you.

"You haven't answered my question yet."

Chu Tianya smiled helplessly, "You know that Jiangnan has been making trouble recently, if I don't come forward to take care of it, it will be out of control." ”

Xiao Linglong nodded lightly, "I know that this matter is very important. However, aren't you the only one in the world of the Great Song Dynasty? Can't you leave some things to someone else to deal with? After all, you are just a mortal in the flesh, not an immortal. If you keep working like this, you'll get tired. ”

Chu Tianya let out a long breath, "I estimate that after taking care of the affairs of Jiangnan, there are no particularly big things that I need to take care of personally." ”

"Don't the Great Song Dynasty take advantage of this Northern Expedition to deal with the Jin Kingdom?"

"Yes." Chu Tianya replied, "However, I can sit in the rear and command and control the overall situation." I have spent so much time and effort to cultivate and promote Liu Ziyu and Yue Fei, but I am not rambling as I want. These two people are both handsome talents with excellent talent and morality. When it comes to marching and fighting, they are far better than me. And it's sure to be reassuring. ”

Xiao Linglong nodded thoughtfully, "Actually, I haven't been able to figure it out, why do you respect and trust the two young people, Liu Ziyu and Yue Fei, who are just here?" It stands to reason that you should not reuse Meng De, Jiao Wentong and Xue Yu? ”

Chu Tianya smiled, "Seventh Brother and the others are indeed the people I trust the most. However, Liu Ziyu and Yue Fei's military attainments are higher. We are no longer gathering in the Wuthering Mountains, but through the country and the country. At this time, only the measure must be used. When I was away, Seventh Brother could make me completely at ease with the rear, and his role was no less than that of Yue Fei; It is certainly no problem for the second brother to guard the border alone, but it will be a little difficult for him to expand the territory and command a large-scale battle; Xue Yu is similar to Ma Kuo, they are loyal and brave, but also modest and cautious, and they are rare generals; However, they also do not have the ability to lead the three armed forces. When I was in Taiyuan before, what our army lacked was allied and handsome like Liu Ziyu and Yue Fei. At that time, their responsibilities were shared by me and Bai Xu. How good it is now, with them to share the burden for me, I can sit in the rear command and dispatch with peace of mind, and have the energy to deal with other things. ”

"Bai Xu...... Ay! At the mention of this name, Xiao Linglong couldn't help but sigh melancholy, "Although I was jealous of Bai Xu from the beginning, I still didn't want to believe that he would really do that." Once in Qixing Village, he was my most respected brother. Unlike everyone else, Bai Xu is erudite, elegant and introverted, and is a typical humble gentleman with a good demeanor. Later, I came together with you, in fact, there are many reasons for this. Because I think that a man who can make Bai Xu pay special attention should not be bad. ”

Chu Tianya shook his head lightly, revealing a bitter smile, "Until now, I don't want to believe that Bai Xu has left me. I'm always fantasizing about how good it would be if I was in vain. I have many things to consult with him and let him decide for me. From the first time I met him, I regarded him as my confidant, and later I became the lord, and he and Mende were my right-hand men. If it weren't for these two people, Chu Tianya would have died in the Taiyuan Rebellion or wandered the world and became a homeless. The Great Song Dynasty is certainly not the weather of today. ”

"Forget it, don't talk about it......" Xiao Linglong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her eyes were a little red, and she said softly, "Troubled times are like copper furnaces, and each of us is just one of them that jumps spark." The length and glory of life are completely out of their control. Tianya, sometimes I'm really scared, especially when you're away and I'm alone at home waiting for you. I'm so scared that one day, you won't come back......"

"Hey, the once murderous Rose Yaksha has now become so sentimental and cowardly?" Chu Tianya quipped, "Is it that when you are pregnant with our baby, you are motherly and become gentle like water?" ”

"you!" Xiao Linglong was amused, "Get up quickly, my sister has prepared lunch, saying that she asked the old man to come over to eat."

"I didn't eat breakfast, just lunch?" Chu Tianya's face was confused.

Xiao Linglong couldn't cry or laugh, and directly stepped forward and dragged Chu Tianya to get up, "You don't want to take a look, when is it?" - Ordinary people, I've had lunch for half an hour! ”

Later, Xiao Fei accompanied Uncle He to dinner. In addition, Xiao Ta does not smoke, and there is no taboo when he arrives at home, so he sits at a large round table to eat. In the Song Dynasty, this kind of table became popular, and there was a trend of gradually replacing the kneeling and sitting diet of separate meals. Originally, Chu Tianya was more accustomed to this way, so in the Luoyang Palace, unless it was a very serious formal occasion, the general family banquet was like this.

Xiao Ta Buyan was obviously dressed up on purpose today, although he did not wear heavy makeup and a gold hairpin, but he looked extraordinarily spiritual and bright. However, the trace of resentment and confusion in his eyes still couldn't escape Chu Tianya's eyes.

During the banquet, Xiao Ta Buyan frequently drank with He Bo and Chu Tianya, and she was good at words, coaxing the old man to laugh all the time, almost forgetting that she was once the queen of the Liao Kingdom, and she had wanted to kill Chu Tianya many times.

Chu Tianya knew that Xiao Ta Buyan must have a lot to say, and it was important to say to him. It's just that I don't want to say it because of the scene. Or, she always lacks a bit of courage and courage when facing Chu Tianya, and now she drinks frequently, just to give herself courage later.

Halfway through the banquet, someone from the Taishi Mansion came to report, saying that there was an urgent military situation in Jiangnan and that he was anxious to wait for the Taishi to return to the mansion for approval.

"The prince finally went home for a meal, can't you come a little later in the time of incense?" Xiao Linglong didn't say anything, but Xiao Ta didn't smoke and said on her behalf, "No matter how important it is, don't be in a hurry for this meal, right?" ”

The two sentences stunned the official, and hurriedly agreed to withdraw.

Chu Tianya didn't say anything, he was indeed not in a hurry for a while. Although the meal is about to be finished, it is not an exaggeration to give Xiao Ta a time to smoke a stick of incense.

After the meal, everyone went for a walk among the flower beds of the palace. Xiao Linglong deliberately dragged the old man to chat, vacating Chu Tianya's side, and Xiao Ta came as scheduled.

"What do you want to tell me?" Chu Tianya went straight to the point.

Xiao Tabu Yan took a deep breath, as if he was mustering up courage, and then said, "As you wish, the Liao State and the Western Xia have started a war. ”

"Well, and then what?"

Xiao Ta took a deep breath again, "Can you take me in?" ”

"You've always been here, and I never said I'm going to drive you away." Chu Tianya said.

The look in Xiao Ta's eyes dimmed a little in an instant, and he said quietly, "Do you think that a woman like me is not trustworthy at all?" ”

"I didn't mean that." Chu Tianya was still calm, "You are Feihu'er's own sister, and I will always respect you." ”

"I understand...... Xiao Ta Buyan took a third deep breath, "Thank you King Luoyang for taking you in." ”

Chu Tianya glanced at her and found that her eye circles were red and her eye sockets were moist.

"I know you must be very sad at this moment." Chu Tianya said, "After all, Liao is your homeland. Jerodashi, your husband. And your son, who is now also in Liao. In this case, you sacrificed too much, but you didn't get back what you wanted. In order to make you feel better, I can only promise - if the Liao State does not touch the bottom line of the Great Song Dynasty, I will not deal with him lightly. ”

Xiao Ta Buyan didn't get excited, but nodded lightly, "I also know that when facing national affairs, a man like you will not be swayed by private emotions. I don't know what the bottom line is, and I don't dare ask you to make any promises or guarantees. I'm just begging you in the name of a mother...... If that day comes, please don't hurt my son! ”

Chu Tianya paused for three seconds and nodded lightly, "As you wish, I won't take his life lightly." If he's good. ”

"Thank you......" Xiao Ta's smokeless tears finally fell, intermittent tears falling slowly, she said, "I know that I am already a broken flower in your heart, and I have no extravagant hope for your forgiveness or favor." It's just that ants are still stealing life, and I, a woman who has been abandoned by the country, the nation, and men, has no other hope in this life. I only hope that I can live this life peacefully and no longer get entangled in the struggle of men. So I beg you...... Can you claim that I died of a violent illness on the way home? ”

Chu Tianya's heart lit up slightly, this woman was very smart. The dead Xiao Ta is not smoking, and it is even more worthless to Yelu Dashi, and for her, there is no pressure; For Chu Tianya, having many women around him is even more sparse and commonplace.

With one stone, it is a perfect plan for the golden cicada to get out of its shell and be reborn from the fire.

"And then?" Chu Tianya wanted to know what she wanted to do next.

"Then I stayed with my sister and stayed with her forever. I have lost a qiē, and the affection between me and my sister is the only thing I can cherish. Xiao Ta Buyan said, "I will use my life to prove that what I am saying at this moment is true." ”

Chu Tianya thought for a moment and said noncommittally, "You go and discuss this matter with Feihu'er." She thinks it's good, that's it. Me, no comment. ”

"Thank you, King Luoyang!" Xiao Ta Buyan was finally pleasantly surprised and knelt down.

Chu Tianya smiled slightly and strode away......
