Chapter 70: Fighting the Tiger and Going Up the Mountain
The beating of gongs and drums continues. It is estimated that after today's day, everyone in Taiyuan City is also well-known.
The woman was paraded in the car with Chu Tianya, feeding him bite by bite.
Taking advantage of Liu Yanqing's horseback and walking away, the woman said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, Chu officials have already come to save you." β
Chu Tianya chewed the food in his mouth, didn't dare to nod, and blinked his eyes to indicate that he understood.
This matter was expected by Liu Yanqing, and naturally it was also expected by Chu Tianya. If other people don't say it, Uncle He and Xiao Linglong will definitely come to save themselves. There is also his brother Meng Qilang, the lord of Qingyun Castle, but if he knows about this matter, he will definitely come to the rescue. In addition, the people of Taihang Seven Star Mountain should not sit idly by.
It's just that in this way, a bloody fight is inevitable. No matter what, Taiyuan City is also the territory of the Shengjie army and the government, and there are 40,000 troops stationed outside the city, and there will be no less ambushes in the city. No matter how strong Qingyun Castle and Qixing Mountain are, how can their arms really twist their thighs?
Seeing the worried look on Chu Tianya's face, the woman glanced to the side alertly, and said in a low voice: "Chu officials don't have to worry, there is a gentleman surnamed Bai who asked me to tell you that everything must be done with his plan." Chu officials only need to take out the small saw in the cloak, saw the rope in time to protect themselves, and they are safe. β
Mr. Bai? White?
Chu Tianya was secretly surprised in his heart: I only separated from Xiao Linglong yesterday, Bai Xu arrived in Taiyuan today, is it really fast, or is he already in the city? β¦β¦ Listening to Xiao Linglong, Bai Xu is the military advisor of Qixing Mountain, and he has always been resourceful, ranking fourth, and "Wenqu Xingjun" is the "smartest person" she has ever seen. Since the rescue plan is from his hand, it must not be a bloody and brutal effort - more importantly, because of the things in Taiyuan City, he can't miss the big plan of Tong Guan outside the city!
"Tell him that what is outside the city is the most important!" Chu Tianya said in a low voice.
At this time, a sergeant next to him seemed to notice that the two were talking secretly, and the spear in his hand slapped on the prisoner cart: "Don't talk to each other - you, come down!" β
The woman was helpless, so she hurriedly stuffed some food into Chu Tianya's mouth and reluctantly got out of the car.
"Girl, I haven't asked you for your name yet?" Chu Tianya said.
"The slave's surname is Ai, and I dare not mention it." The woman said, "Chu officials can call me Xiao Ai...... In the past, my sister's name was Xiao Ai. Now that she's gone, I'm going to remember her. From now on, my name will be Xiao Ai! β
"Okay, thank you, Xiao Ai!" Chu Tianya smiled and hiccuped, "It's so full!" β
Xiao Ai looked at Chu Tianya and smiled, his eyes were curved like a crescent moon, and two small dimples were rising at the corners of his bright red and smooth cherry lips.
The smile is very sweet, and it is also very pure, and there is no smell of wind and dust at all.
"Let's go! It's hard to still flirt here! The sergeant impatiently took his spear and drove Xiao Ai away.
"Chu Guanren, the slave family will come to deliver food to you tomorrow!" Xiao Ai had no choice but to stand on the side of the street and watch the prisoner car go farther and farther away.
After swimming around the street, Chu Tianya was pulled back to the Guangyang County Palace.
At the end of the day, Liu Yanqing followed the prisoner car around, tired and annoyed. As soon as he untied Chu Tianya from the prison car and escorted him into the cell, he followed, patting a horse whip in his hand, glaring at Chu Tianya with malicious intent.
"What, you've been disappointed?" Chu Tianya laughed disdainfully, "Why don't you go on another tour of the street tomorrow?" Maybe a fellow party will come to my rescue. When the time comes, you'll be able to capture them in one fell swoop. β
"Boy, just sneer, you won't be able to get angry for long." Liu Yanqing touched his mustache and squeezed his lips together, squinted at Chu Tianya with triangular eyes, and said hatefully, "Regardless of whether you can catch the same party or not, in three days, I will abandon you in the city and use the law of the king!" - Fortunately, your father's and mother's relatives are almost dead, otherwise you, a traitor, would have punished them! β
"I'm a traitor?" Chu Tianya sneered, "No matter how I sell, at most I will only sell me alone." You and Tong Guan sold an army of 100,000 and countless money and food. You are the real sinners of the ages, and the self-righteous heroes who have regained lost ground. I guess if your ancestors knew about these things, they would all be angry when they died. Do you believe it or not? β
"You! ......" Liu Yanqing couldn't say anything about Chu Tianya, his face suddenly turned red, and he pointed at Chu Tianya with a horsewhip and scolded, "If it weren't for the Taishi's order to let me not worry about you, I would have beaten you until I was crippled today!" - Wait for death! β
After that, Liu Yanqing left in a huff.
Chu Tianya was locked in the cell and laughed instead, sat down leisurely on a pile of moldy grass, and hiccuped again.
"Official, you're hiccuping...... It smells so good! Then a voice came from the haystack.
Chu Tianya was startled, and hurriedly opened the haystack to see that it was Xiao Fei inside!
Chu Tianya couldn't help laughing, "Why are you hiding in this pile of moldy grass?" Come out! β
"I'm cold and hungry...... They did not give food or clothing. Xiao Fei crawled out weakly, smacked his lips and said, "Big official, what are you eating?" What a fragrant smell of wine and meat! β
"Severed head rice!" Chu Tianya said with a smile.
Xiao Fei was stunned, and his face was suddenly shocked, "No, no, won't you?" This is going to kill the head? β
"yes, you're scared?" Chu Tianya was still smiling.
"Afraid of a bird! I have a big scar on my head, and I don't know it hurts! Xiao Fei came to his senses, jumped up from the grass pile in a flash, banged on the cell door and shouted, "Hey, quickly send the master's severed head meal!" I'm hungry!! β
Chu Tianya laughed, "Xiaofei, don't scream, no one will bring you food." You bear with it first--when we go out, I'll take you to the Star Tower to eat the best wine and food! - Come here, my cloak is big and warm, let's wrap it up and keep warm! β
Xiao Fei had to come back stupidly, sat down with Chu Tianya, and covered the big cloak like a blanket.
Night slowly fell, and the guards all drank some wine and lay down on the table and took a nap. Chu Tianya took out a strip-shaped fine iron saw from the strap of his cloak.
"Big official, this is ......," Xiao Fei said in surprise.
"Don't make a sound." Chu Tianya took a closer look at the small saw, although it was small, it was extremely powerful and sharp, and it was obviously not made of ordinary materials. In addition, its head is still pointed in the shape of a dagger, and it can also be used for assassination in melee combat.
At this time, both of them had shackles on their bodies, and Chu Tianya thought to himself, if he had to completely sawn off this set of iron sleeves on his limbs, he might not have enough time to be easily discovered. Therefore, you can only saw the iron chain in the middle, and the hands and feet can open and close at the critical moment, and you can do it.
Chu Tianya said, "Xiao Fei, we probably have two more nights left." You have to hide this thing well; As soon as we have time, let's see this chain! - Someone will come to our rescue! β
In the morning of the next day, at the foot of Taihang Mountain.
The decay of the vegetation and the wild beasts have nowhere to hide, and it is indeed a great time to hunt. At this time, the three thousand iron armor circled a large hunting ground, and the banner flew and roared loudly to drive away the beasts. Goshawk hounds come and go, following their horses to gallop back and forth in the foothills.
Yesterday, I had been hunting for a day, and Yelu Yujian, who had mastered this craft since he was a child, had gained a lot. But he didn't feel much joy, but was a little uneasyβbecause Chu Tianya hadn't returned yet!
After a temporary rest at noon, Yelu Yu and Tong Guan returned to the camp together. A fire was set up on the spot, and the game was roasted and good wine was cooked. In order to take care of Yelu Yujian's hobby, Tong Guan also specially brought courtesans and dancers to perform for fun in his leisure time from hunting.
"Taishi, why hasn't that Chu Tianya come back yet?" Yelu Yu was a little out of breath and took the initiative to ask.
"Oh? Him! Tong Guan pretended to be indifferent and smiled, "Wang Yu is his master and the commander of the army, so he may have important military affairs or business in the past!" β
Yelu Yu didn't want to ask much in order to avoid revealing his stuffing, but he was secretly suspicious in his heart.
"Your envoy is really superb in archery and superb in horsemanship, and he is worthy of being a general who grew up on horseback!" Tong Guan said with a flattering smile, "The noble envoy has gained a lot for two days in a row, and even the black bear can be captured by you, which is really amazing!" β
"What a problem." Yelu Yu smiled and raised his glass to drink, and said, "In previous years, I was in the Liao Kingdom, and I had to travel to Na Bowl every autumn. One winter, I shot two leopards and six wild boars in three days! β
"Awesome, awesome!" Tong Guan sighed for a while, and said, "After running for two days in a row, your envoy must be tired." Why don't we rest for half a day in the afternoon, and let's talk about the state affairs of the two countries? β
When Yelu heard this, his heart suddenly became anxious. slapped his knee and made an impatient expression, "You might as well just urge me to go back!" β
"No, that's not what Xiao Wang meant. After talking about state affairs, no matter how long the envoy will stay, Xiao Wang is also welcome, and he will definitely be hospitable. Tong Guan smiled slightly and said, "It's just Xiao Wang's top, and there are also officials and courts." They urged tightly, and Xiao Wang didn't dare to slack off! β
Yelu Yu snorted coldly and ignored Tong Guan. But there is a little urgency in my heart: Tong Guan has repeatedly urged me to talk about state affairs, how can I really tell him? β¦β¦ Because the so-called state affairs have only two words at all, and that is - declare war!
As soon as these words came out, the two countries of Song and Jin were completely broken, and Tong Guan had nothing to scruple about, and he would inevitably turn his face and deny people. At that point, I will be very passive! Chu Tianya has not returned for a long time, and there has been no news from the green forest master he sent, what should I do?
"Your Honorable Envoy...... But what are the concerns? Tong Guan looked at Yelu Yu with a smile, but his words were hidden in his words, and his smile was sarcastic.
Yelu Yu couldn't help but feel a slight palpitation in his heart, but his expression was still arrogant and didn't care, and he said arrogantly: "The envoy hasn't had a good time yet, how can he have the leisure to sit down and discuss state affairs with you?" -- In the afternoon, when I continued to hunt, I went deep into the woods! I want to see what this tiger in the south looks like! β
"Hehe, you are so good-spirited, you have to fight the tiger!" Tong Guan didn't seem to care, smiled and said, "Then Xiao Wang will naturally accompany you!" β
After eating, Yelu Yu saw that he and Tong Guan stepped on the horse again, and the large team of men and horses opened the way in front, coaxed the prey, and led Huang towards Taihang Mountain.
Yelu Yu looked at the Song soldiers all over the mountains, and he was anxious: How to start this? β¦β¦ Chu Tianya is not here, and his helper has not appeared for a long time, which is really annoying me!
"Your envoy seems to have a lot on his mind, huh?" Tong Guan asked with a smile.
"I only know how to eat, drink and have fun, how can I have anything on my mind?" Yelu Yu replied angrily, raised his whip and whipped his horse hard, "The prince is here to compete with me!" Let's talk about equestrianism first, and then about the ferocity and number of prey! If you lose, you will lose a hundred taels of gold - you are not allowed to ask for help! β
"Haha, okay!" Tong Guan patted the horse to catch up, "Since your envoy is full of interest, although Xiao Wang's hunting skills are average, he is also willing to accompany him!" β
"Let's go!" Yelu Yu let out a loud shout, stepped off the black horse, and galloped forward.
Tong Guan sneered: Look what the hell are you doing! Although I don't know what kind of premeditation you have with the kid surnamed Chu, but under this net, you can't play any tricks! The wolf lord of the Liao Kingdom has already formulated the national policy of my Great Song Dynasty, and you can't control it at all, just a messenger. If it weren't for Wanyan Zonghan's sake, I wouldn't have had to be so sincere to you, the minister of the two lords!
Thinking about it, Tong Guan still patted the horse and followed.
Taihang Mountain, the slope of the western foot is gentle, the jungle at the foot of the mountain is not lush, and there are many meadows. In the past two days, Tong Guan asked 3,000 soldiers to set up a large hunting ground in the shallow forest on the gentle slope for the two of them to hunt.
But now, Yelu Yu had obviously rushed out of the range of the hunting ground, and had already rushed towards the dense forest in the deep mountains of Taihang.
"This guy, do you really want to go to the old mountains and dense forests and high mountains and big hills ahead to hunt tigers?" Tong Guan muttered in his heart, "What a barbarian slave!" Your life is worthless, but this king doesn't want to follow it! β
At this time, Yelu Yu in front of him stopped, looked back at Tong Guan, and said loudly: "If the prince is timid, he can wait at the bottom of the mountain!" Wait for Ben to hunt the tiger, and give you a tiger whip to soak in wine, nourishing the aphrodisiac, haha! β
Tong Guan was so angry that his eyes widened. There were many sergeants around him who watched and listened, and their faces were extremely unpleasant. Thinking of this for a while, he has been ridiculed, bullied and looked down upon by this Yelu Yu, Tong Guanyi gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Let you also know my southern martial arts' bow and horse kung fu!" β
"Driving-" shouted, and Tong Guan rode his horse towards Yelu Yujian.
"Haha! It's a good man - Lord, please keep up! Yelu laughed loudly and galloped wildly!
