Chapter 8 Together

Xue Yu has been rescued, even though Bai Xu and the others had any suspicions and prejudices against Chu Tianya before, facts speak louder than words, and now they have to look at Chu Tianya with admiration.

"Brother Chu, Xue had a lot of suspicions and slanders against you before, and made disrespectful remarks, and asked Brother Chu to have a lot of them, don't worry about it." Xue Yu Zhengse hugged his fist at Chu Tianya and said, "In the future, if Brother Chu is punished, Xue will go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will be willing to drive him!" ”

Bai Xu was still smiling, shaking the Fan Yang felt hat in his hand and said with a smile: "Third Brother Xue has always been grateful to repay a promise, Brother Chu, you will soon receive his love." Otherwise, he will have trouble sleeping. In addition, please ask Brother Chu to accept these few yellow and white goods, in order to save Third Brother Xue, you will also have to spend money on the official prison city, so you will not break the bank. ”

After that, Bai Xu took out the previous three gold ingots and wanted to give them to Chu Tianya.

It was at this time that they all changed their names towards Chu Tianya, and they used to call him the sarcastic nickname of "Taibao", but now they are "Brother Chu".

"I don't want gold. Actually, not only did I not spend any money, but I also received a reward, so I did not lose money. There is no need to mention this matter again. Chu Tianya smiled disapprovingly, "However, Brother Xue owes me a favor, and I will accept it unceremoniously." I'm not as anxious as you think, and I'm not asking for nothing to save Xue Yu. In the future, I will definitely ask you to repay me. ”

Xue Yu's spirits perked up, and Zhengse hugged his fists and said, "Brother Chu just commands!" ”

Bai Yu put away the gold ingot and said, "Brother Chu saved our brother, who is the benevolent father of Qixing Mountain. But if Brother Chu has something to do, I will definitely go all out in the whole village! ”

"Not now." Chu Tianya was not polite and detoured, and said bluntly, "Let me tell you the truth, the Jin State is about to invade the Song Dynasty in the south, and the troops are divided into two routes, all the way out of Pingzhou to capture Yanshan Mansion, and attack Hebei; On the other hand, they will go north out of the cloud and go south to Tokyo, and Taiyuan Mansion is a stumbling block for them along the way. Therefore, Taiyuan is about to fall into the flames of war in the near future! ”

"What?" Bai Xu, Xue Yu, and the woman in white were all taken aback, "How did you find out?" ”

"Then you don't have to ask." Chu Tianya's brows furrowed, and his face was stern, "How could I laugh at such a big event?" The reason why I saved Brother Xue was to ask you to unite with the rebel armies of other villages in Taihang to help resist the Jin soldiers and defend Taiyuan when the time comes; Another layer of intention is to get close to Tong Guan and see if it is possible for him to lead the Shengjie army to defend Taiyuan. ”

Bai Xu and Xue Yu looked suspicious again, "I see! - Brother Chu, he is really a righteous man! ”

"If people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." Chu Tianya said lightly, "I was born in Taiyuan and grew up in Taiyuan, Jin Bing wants to destroy my home, take my property, and kill my life, I just want to find a way to live, and I can't afford to be a 'righteous man'."

"Brother Chu is really not pretentious, and Xiaosheng admires it." Bai Xu smiled and bowed, "There are not many people like Brother Chu who are straightforward and upright now." ”

"Brother Chu is really a good man, but he is not a human being!" Xue Yu snorted with an angry face, and said hatefully: "Tong Guan's eunuch will only flatter and bully and suppress loyalty, where will he really be loyal to the country and protect the country and the people?" At the beginning, the Song and Jin jointly attacked Liao, and the guy supervised the war in Hebei. Xue and other rebels in Taihang were under the command of that family. At that time, the Great Song Dynasty invaded the Liao State with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, and it was determined to win. That guy is good, greedy for life and afraid of death, afraid of fighting with the Liao army with few soldiers and horses, but he will only make some indiscriminate means that are not in the stream, and encourage his lips and tongue to surrender and rebel against the Liao State, and he was laughed at by the soldiers of the Liao State, which is really a shame on the face of our Song people! When it really came time to fight, although his subordinates had twice the strength of the Liao army, they were still defeated and humiliated by the country. ”

Bai Xu suddenly coughed dryly, and Xue Yu also came back to his senses. When I turned my eyes, the woman in white, who had been silent beside her, had a very ugly face.

The woman in white didn't say much when he looked at him, but walked away a few steps and turned around, standing alone by the river.

Chu Tianya saw it in his eyes, and doubted in his heart: Last time, the woman said that she was not a "Song person", and now she is so disgusted with Song Jin's attack on Liao, is she a Liao person?

In order to break the embarrassment, Bai Xu hurriedly took over the conversation and said: "Yanyun rumored, 'The Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000 people, and it is invincible', which is what he is talking about is the courage and good fighting of the Jin Guo Iron Cavalry. Wanyan Agu wiped out the Liao State, which had been founded for a hundred years and was wider than the Great Song Dynasty, in just ten years, relying on this group of elite cavalry. On the other hand, the royal division of my Great Song Dynasty was constrained by the imperial court everywhere and could not be used, coupled with the cowardice and fear of death, the army was corrupt and degenerate, and it has long since lost the edge of the Taizu of the year. Therefore, Hugh said that it was against the iron cavalry of the Jin State, but compared to the Liao army, our Song army is not far behind! ”

Hearing this, Xue Yu became more and more indignant: "As the saying goes, there are no weak soldiers under a strong general, and a coward is in command of a bear's nest." Xue was also a person who led troops, and he knew that the fault of defeat was not all in the ability of the army, but in the person who commanded with the troops. Tong Guan's eunuch, like many greedy and mediocre people in the court, had already been frightened by the Jin soldiers, and he had no courage to confront the Jin people. I dare to assert that as long as I heard that the Jin people were coming, before I saw every soldier of the Jin soldiers, that guy would have run away a long time ago! - Brother Chu, don't expect that eunuch, it's better to return to Qixing Mountain with me, and then ask the eldest brother to recruit the Taihang Zhongzhai Righteous Army, and we will discuss the plan to resist Jin and save the country! ”

When Bai Xu heard this, he smiled happily: "What Third Brother Xue said is true." Brother Chu is not only a true hero but also has the heart to serve the country, it is better to join Qixing Mountain and participate in the righteous act of saving the country and the people! ”

Chu Tianya wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, and said, "I understand the kindness of the two. But Tong Guan, I still want to give it a try. If you try, you may not succeed, and if you don't try, you won't have a chance, what do you say? ”

Bai Xu pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "It's man-made, I'm afraid that Tong Guan, the traitor, will waste Brother Chu's pure heart." However, it doesn't hurt for Brother Chu to try the material. It's really not possible, you can come and join me at any time. My Dazhai Gate of Qixing Mountain will always be open for Brother Chu! ”

"yes!" Xue Yu hugged his fists and said, "As long as Brother Chu is willing to come, Xue leaned over the ground and turned his hands and feet into hooves, and personally carried Brother Chu up the mountain!" ”

Chu Tianya laughed, smiling very comfortably, and it was also very boring.

For the first time in so many days, he laughed out loud so sincerely.

Now it seems that whether it is Bai Xu, who is weak in scholars, or Xue Yu, who was born in the army, after in-depth understanding, it can be found that they all have a "chivalrous" spirit that only exists in the legend.

If you don't agree with each other, you will draw a knife and repay each other with the grace of dripping water. It's just that if you accept and identify a certain person, you will be willing to stick a knife in the other party's ribs!

A veritable chivalrous man, such a friend, is worth making.

Chu Tianya also clenched his fists and said, "Third Brother Xue is serious. Chu is just a notorious soap official, where can he dare to hold it up. If he can fight against Jin and save the country with the Taihang Righteous Army, Chu can't ask for it. But for now, I'd better stay in Taiyuan first. First, I can wait for the opportunity to move by Tong Guan's side, and if I can win a strength, I will have more strength; Second, when the Jin army went south to attack Taiyuan, I would also stay in the city to make an internal response for you, so that it would be convenient for you to act. ”

Bai and Xue glanced at each other and nodded their heads. Bai Xu said: "Brother Chu is wise and thoughtful, so it is very appropriate to arrange it. After Xiaosheng returned to the mountain, he first discussed with the eldest brother and all the brothers, and then invited the leaders of the other rebel armies in Taihang to plan a joint anti-gold attack! ”

"That's very good, there's Mr. Laobai!" Chu Tianya clasped his fists and bowed.

"Then we'll agree on it first. It's not early, so we'll take our leave. Bai Xu arched his hand and said, "Sooner or later, Xiaosheng will send people from the cottage to contact Brother Chu and exchange news." ”

"Okay, farewell!" Chu Tianya hugged his fists and said goodbye.

"Brother Chu, take care!"

The three of them were about to break up after chatting for so long, only the woman in white had been standing quietly by the river a few steps away with her back to everyone, like a man's back scissors standing tall with his hands, looking at the northern mountains alone, as if the qiē around her had nothing to do with her.

After Chu Tianya said goodbye to Xue and Bai, he turned his head to look at the woman in white, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Bai Xu glanced at it, beckoned Chu Tianya to the side a few steps, and said in a low voice: "Please Brother Chu, don't blame her for being indifferent and mean." In fact, although she is a woman, she knows that righteousness and keeping her promises are better than men. Merely...... She is a descendant of the nobles of the Liao State, and now that the country is ruined, she has lost her relatives one after another, and her mood has always been very sad. ”

"She is really a Liao......" Chu Tianya looked at her twice, and from the outside, the woman in white was no different from the Han people.

In fact, the Liao State was founded before the Great Song Dynasty, and it has lived in the Han land for more than 100 years. Even the Liao people themselves said, "My cultivation of cultural relics is no different from China", and they all regard the Central Plains as their homeland, and the Khitan and Han people of the Liao State have always been indistinguishable from each other.

Bai Xu sighed and said: "Now in the court of my Great Song Dynasty, it is the monarch and the minister who is dark and martial, and he treats state affairs as child's play. Earlier, in order to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, it was my Great Song Dynasty that first broke the century-old alliance of Song and Liao. In my opinion, this move is indeed unkind and violates faith.

"yes!" Chu Tianya said, "And in the overall situation and long-term, the heart of the tiger and wolf of the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom is clearly revealed, how can the Liao State not covet the Great Song Dynasty, which is more rich and beautiful than the Liao State?" In order to covet a momentary small profit, my Song Dynasty court treacherously forgot the truth of forgetting lips and forgetting cold teeth, not only did it help the neighbors of the Liao State to resist the invasion of the foreign enemy Jurchens, but also helped outsiders beat their own neighbors. ”

Bai Xu shook his head and sighed, "In addition, Tong Guan and other traitors were so happy in the battle to destroy Liao, in order to invite merit and reward, they completely ignored the life and death of the people of Liao, and repeatedly acted against the people's hearts. Even they can hate Tong Guan and the others, not to mention how the Khitan people will view my Great Song Dynasty...... Besides, Linglong, she is actually soft on the outside and soft on the inside, kind and gentle by nature, but it is precisely because of these past events that her family is ruined and displaced, and she, like other Liao people, hates the court and officials of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Linglong?"

Bai Xu smiled slightly, "Her surname is Xiao, and her Han name is Xiao Linglong." I sat in the fifth position in Qixing Mountain, and we also called her the fifth sister or little sister. ”

"The surname Xiao ...... Sure enough, it's a Khitan nobleman! Chu Tianya said in his heart.

The Khitan surname "Xiao" has always been a noble surname throughout the ages and has been prosperous for a long time. After the establishment of the Liao State, the Yelu clan of the royal family has always only intermarried with the Xiao family, so there have been many famous "Xiao Queens" in the history of the Liao State.

Xiao Linglong is a person who practices martial arts, her eyes are bright and her ears are deaf, Chu Tianya and Bai Yu have a very whispered conversation, she turned her back to Xu Yuan and seemed to hear it.

At this time, she turned around and walked towards Chu Tianya. A pair of eyes have been looking at Chu Tianya fixedly, there is no special expression on his face, and his eyes are as silent and flat as a pool of autumn water.

Walking in front of her, she bowed to Chu Tianya, "I misunderstood you before, and repeatedly provoked you. Now, I make amends to you. ”

"You don't have to say anything." Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "If you don't fight, you don't know each other." ”

"My name is Xiao Linglong, I used to be a nobleman of the Liao Kingdom, and now I am one of the 'Taihang giants' in your mouth." Xiao Linglong's tone was very flat, as if she was talking about something completely unrelated to her, "I hate the Jin people deeply, but I hate the Song people who have fallen into the well even more." Fourth Brother Bai told me that whether it is the Liao, Song or Jin, there are good and bad among them. But for a moment, I couldn't tell the difference. ”

Bai Xu smiled and said, "I will teach you slowly in the future." ”

Xiao Linglong nodded lightly and glanced at Chu Tianya again.

Chu Tianya also happened to look at her, and the two of them looked at each other, and there were no ripples in just a moment, and then they naturally separated. Xiao Linglong also walked to the river, still standing quietly alone, looking at the distant northern homeland.

It was at this moment just now that Chu Tianya really saw her face clearly for the first time. It is indeed a rare and stunning face in the world, but she was born with a pair of sideburns and sword eyebrows like a man, which made her originally delicate and charming face suddenly heroic, and vaguely revealed a little bit of the unique wild characteristics of the Hu women. In addition, she was still wearing a set of military uniforms at this time, which added a little sassy style.

In Chu Tianya's opinion, a woman like Xiao Linglong, her charm is completely different from those vase women with small jasper, and it doesn't even have much to do with appearance. If you have to use exact words to describe it, it is difficult to speak, and you can only hate it when you use it.

The dawn has dewed, and the east wants to know.

Only then did everyone go their separate ways, Chu Tianya went to Taiyuan Mansion, and Bai Xu and the others went to Taihang Mountain.

After a busy night without sleeping, Chu Tianya relaxed and felt a little sleepy, so he went to the river to wash his face and refresh himself. As soon as he bent down to pick up a handful of water, he suddenly felt someone behind him, so he suddenly got up and looked back, but he was stunned.

"Is that you?".
