Wang Yu was a little injured, so Tong Guan let him rest in the palace, and he didn't have to go to the palace to work with the army in the next few days. It was rare to leave a few days to be free, so Wang Yu asked Wang Xun to go to the south gate alone to supervise the work, but left Chu Tianya in the mansion to accompany him. In the afternoon of the same day, Chu Tianya officially worshipped Wang Yu as a teacher and began to practice Wang's marksmanship.

As Cheng He Bo expected, Wang Yu accepted Chu Tianya as a disciple, the art is fake, and the heart is true. After the apprenticeship, Wang Yu did not rush to let Chu Tianya practice his gun, but chatted with him for an afternoon - talking about "martial virtues", saying that the heaven and earth monarchs are teachers, courtesy, righteousness, benevolence, faith and filial piety, and instilled a lot of loyal and patriotic thoughts in Chu Tianya.

Chu Tianya listened patiently, and secretly laughed in his heart: Okay, this is brainwashing me! …… In fact, there is nothing wrong with loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, but in the current era and environment, if people all over the world are still blindly stuck to these ethical guidelines and feudal dogmas, and use benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and filial piety to deal with the enemy's fierce horse butcher's knife, then the Great Song Dynasty is really over!

So, Chu Tianya listened to Wang Yu's words patiently and modestly, but he didn't think much of it in his heart.

For the next three days, Wang Yu only preached, carefully cultivating Chu Tianya's "martial virtues", and did not teach him a single move and a half. Chu Tianya was not in a hurry, anyway, he had finished taking the "political lesson" here in Wang Yu during the day, and when he went back to practice martial arts classes with He Bo, the progress of Red Fist could be described as rapid. He Bo was thinking about whether he could teach Chu Tianya marksmanship in advance?

In the evening of this day, when Chu Tianya finished his class and was about to leave the Dutong Mansion and go home, the county prince's mansion sent a doorman and pawn to deliver a message to Wang Yu, saying that an envoy from the Jin State would come to Taiyuan in two days. At that time, please ask Wang Dutong to accompany Master Tong out of Guo to greet him, and do not be absent.

Chu Tianya heard it in his ears, and he was secretly excited in his heart: Okay, after waiting for you for a long time, it's finally here!

――According to Xiao Linglong's reminder, if you want to kill Tong Guan, you have to fall on the envoy of the Jin Kingdom!

So Chu Tianya said to Wang Yu: "Master, the day after tomorrow to welcome the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, can you let the apprentices accompany you?" ”

Wang Yu looked at Chu Tianya sideways, "But you can." But, you don't want to do anything out of the ordinary, do you? ”

"How so." Chu Tianya smiled indifferently and said, "I just want to meet the Jurchens, and it's best to hear how Master Tong and them discuss diplomatic relations." If something unexpected happens, it's easy to deal with it then. ”

"Then you can go with the old man!" Wang Yu still readily agreed, he said, "The previous Taishi wanted to send Ma Kuan to envoy the Jin camp, but Ma Kuan refused, and proposed to set up an ambush to resist the Jin soldiers. As a result, the Taishi was furious. Later, the Taishi sent another person to Jinying to contact the two countries about the transfer of Kyushu after the mountain, presumably the Jurchens are now here to give an answer. This consultation is particularly important. Although the Jurchens are already wolves, their ambitions are obvious; However, it would still be better if peace talks could be used to prevent the flames of war as much as possible. So, don't act rashly. If you provoke trouble and provoke the Jin Kingdom, thus triggering a war between the two countries, you cannot afford to be charged with this crime. ”

"Remember." Chu Tianya agreed to the promise, but he sighed in his heart: it seems that although Wang Yu is enthusiastic and generous to serve the country, his thinking is still the same as most Song people, too weak and conservative. Seeing that the flames of war were about to burn under the roof, he was still fantasizing about the Jurchens not to use force. I'm afraid that the biggest difference between Wang Yu and Tong Guan is only that if there is really a fight, Tong Guan will run away, but Wang Yu will not!

Forget it, I'm not hard for him. Today's Great Song Dynasty is heavy on literature and suppression of military affairs, weak in civilian customs, weak in foreign wars, and fearful of the enemy like a tiger. For more than 100 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Great Song Dynasty has been sending "New Year Coins" to the neighboring Western Xia and Liao States to maintain peace. From the monarchs and ministers to the common people, most people think that it is a very cost-effective thing to spend a little money to buy peace and security without fighting. Anyway, our Da Song is "not bad for money" - not ashamed, but proud!

In such an environment, Wang Yu has lived for decades, and he has been brainwashed by dogma for decades, and his thoughts are inevitably imprisoned and passive, so how can he completely agree with me day and night? I'm afraid that unless the Jurchens enter the city of Taiyuan, he will completely give up his illusions about "peace"!

On the way home, Chu Tianya was a little distracted as he walked and pondered these things. As soon as I entered the gate of the courtyard, I heard the voices of Xiao Linglong and Uncle He from the backyard -

"Old man, you have the ability to come down!"

"Hehe, little girl, you have the ability to come up!"

"You come down! - If I don't come down again, I'm going to throw a throwing knife! ”

"You come up! - If I don't come up again, I'm going to throw flying tiles! ”

Chu Tianya suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly ran to the backyard to see that the coke was broken.

Xiao Linglong stood in the middle of the courtyard, holding a bamboo pole and pointing to the roof. He Bo squatted on the roof like a cat, smiling evilly.

"What are you doing here?" Chu Tianya walked up to Xiao Linglong and asked.

Xiao Linglong's face turned red instantly, and she was even more angry, and pointed the bamboo pole to the roof in annoyance: "You ask him!" ”

Chu Tianya saw that she not only swept away the haggard and sick state a few days ago, but also had the strength to quarrel and use force, obviously the sick body had completely recovered. So he smiled: "As the saying goes, it doesn't take a hundred steps to drive people, and you can't beat people at home." You've thrown an old man from Uncle Ho onto the roof, don't you! Is it only when you are sick that you remember that you are a woman who should be gentle? ”

"Just on the matter, where are you going?" Xiao Linglong glanced at Chu Tianya, took a long breath, and her face was much soothed. Although she didn't answer, she set the bamboo pole in her hand aside.

"Uncle He, come down!" Chu Tianya said with a smile, "Lord Xiao has already forgiven you!" ”

"Hehe, the old man will come down!"

As soon as He Bo's words fell, he jumped and fell to the ground like an eagle.

Chu Tianya was dumbfounded-this is the legendary light skill! He Bodu is lame, and he is still so powerful!

"Lord Xiao, you should think about what the old man said, hehe!" He Bowei smiled, "If you are born in troubled times, don't be ashamed and talk about so many rules." ”

"You still say!" Xiao Linglong, who had just calmed down her anger, was about to reach for the bamboo pole again.

"Okay, okay, I won't say it, I won't say it." Uncle He smiled, "The young master is back, and the old man is going to cook." I've been playing with you all afternoon, and I've missed cooking. ”

"Uncle He, don't say a word, let's cook!" Chu Tianya shook his head and smiled. Seeing this situation, you don't need to ask to know that He Bozhun said a lot of "no shame" to Xiao Linglong again.

He Bole laughed a few times and walked into the kitchen on crutches.

Xiao Linglong glared at Uncle He and walked away in anger, but she couldn't help but smile bitterly twice, and said: "This old man is too unserious, he must have been a strange man in the green forest who was not rude!" ”

Chu Tianya was curious for a moment, "What did he say, making you so angry that you want to fight with him?" ”

"It's none of your business!" Xiao Linglong glanced at Chu Tianya angrily, but her face turned red.

"You told me about this stubble first, but it's none of my business." Chu Tianya pursed his lips indifferently, "Don't mention this." You've just arrived, and I'm going to look for you at the inn. ”

"Is there something wrong?"

"Yes. Come into the house and talk. ”

And they went into the house. Chu Tianya casually went to cover the door, and Xiao Linglong hurriedly said, "What are you doing when you close the door?" ”

"Isn't this a wall with ears?" Chu Tianya was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Okay, if it's not closed, it's not closed." ”

Xiao Linglong was angry and funny, "You old and young are really gourds on the same vine!" ”

"Okay, let's get down to business." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "The envoys of the Jin Kingdom will come to Taiyuan the day after tomorrow. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Linglong also straightened her face and said, "That day, you asked me how to kill Tong Guan...... Isn't this envoy of the Kingdom of Jin just in handy? ”

"That's right." Chu Tianya's eyebrows sank, and he said in a low voice, "As you said, Tong Guan's identity is too special, so whether it is the military and civilians or the heroes of the green forest, it is not easy to attack him. But in order to seize military power and defend Taiyuan, Tong Guan must be killed. If he can be killed under the pretense of the hands of the Jin people, then the whole Shengjie army will have the same hatred for the enemy to avenge Tong Guan, and the possibility of staying in Taiyuan to fight against the Jin soldiers will be greatly increased; Moreover, it is a grievance for the Jin people to kill my Great Song Dynasty border commander, and it will also arouse the national resentment and anger of my Great Song Dynasty. Maybe the situation can be reversed? ”

"It sounds like the best way to go." Xiao Linglong nodded, "In this world, most of the people hate Tong Guan to death, and they can't wait to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin!" Especially the people under the rule of my Great Liao Kingdom, I hate him the most! - However, the Jurchens have always been very fond of Tong Guan, a lackey. Over the years, Tong Guan has helped them to gain a lot of benefits. It is a metaphor to buy Yanjing, send military rations, and give New Year's coins; In private, Tong Guan has not spent much money and has been bribing Jurchen officials and generals. Just like when he bought the Western Xia generals when he was defending the Western Xia, and when he attacked the Liao State, it was his usual method - in such a situation, how could the Jurchens kill Tong Guan? ”

Chu Tianya's brows twisted into a big pimple, and he said, "Yes! It is estimated that most of the reason why the imperial court reactivated Tong Guan and replaced the previous border marshal to be responsible for the negotiation with the Jin State was because Tong Guan was very familiar with the generals of the Jin State and had a good relationship. In this way, Tong Guan and the Jurchen generals are clearly the same as the raccoon dogs. Even if the two countries were about to fight, there was no reason for the Jurchens to deal with Tong Guan...... What do you think? ”

Xiao Linglong looked at Chu Tianya quietly and did not speak.

Chu Tianya was stunned for a moment, "Am I very handsome, you are staring at me like this?" ”

Xiao Linglong sneered and turned her face away, still not speaking.

"Lord Xiao, you are resourceful, help me find a way!" Chu Tianya smiled bitterly, "These days, my mind is about to boil into a pot of porridge and a mess!" ”

"You're much smarter than me, there's going to be a way." Xiao Linglong said lightly, "That day, I was just a bystander, and the fool had a thousand worries, so I reminded you." I really want to think of a way, but I can't do it. ”

"Then why don't you think about it again and have a clever plan to guide me?"

"!" Xiao Linglong was angry and funny, "Unless Fourth Brother Bai is here." Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to do this kind of conspiracy even if I wanted to break my head! ”

"You mean that you are the military advisor of Qixingzhai, Bai Xu and Bai Zhuge ?" Chu Tianya smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that if there was an Internet or phone now, it would be easier to do it.

"Don't underestimate him." Xiao Linglong said seriously, "He is the most scheming and resourceful person I have ever met!" ”

Chu Tianya nodded absent-mindedly and thought about it in his heart.

Xiao Linglong didn't speak. The two of them sat silently and each other, so quiet that they could hear a needle falling to the ground.

At this time, Uncle He came over with a dinner plate, and when he saw their situation, he was immediately happy, "Yo, the little couple is making trouble, and they are both staring at each other and not speaking?" ”
