Chapter 37: The Past
When Xiao Linglong heard Chu Tianya's words, she immediately became alert. She squinted at Chu Tianya and said coldly, "What can I help you?" ”
Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't do anything to make a beauty trick." ”
"Now that you've said it, you must have such thoughts in your mind?" Xiao Linglong's sword eyebrows were twisted.
"Be kind, be kind." Uncle He gagged on the side, "Girl, why can't you be a little kind to my young master?" ”
"He's scheming on me!" Xiao Linglong said unconvinced, but it was very quiet. It can be seen that she really doesn't dare to offend Uncle He.
"How can the young master calculate you?" He Bo smiled hesitantly, "It's too late for him to hurt you, right, young master?" ”
"Okay, Uncle He, you don't have to say a few words that are not serious." Chu Tianya said, "Getting back to the point, first, I want to learn more about this Yelu Yujian; Second, can Lord Xiao say that this person will work for me? ”
"Impossible." Xiao Linglong replied without thinking, "This person is the blood enemy of all Khitans. If they meet, they can only draw their swords and splash blood five steps at each other, but there is no possibility of peace talks and lobbying! ”
"So, Lord Xiao is very familiar with him?"
Xiao Linglong twisted her brows slightly and was silent for a moment, then looked sideways and saw He Bo staring at her shyly, so she nodded reluctantly, "It's okay." ”
"How ripe is it?"
"Do you have to ask that clearly?"
"Definitely!" Chu Tianya insisted.
Xiao Linglong had a look of annoyance on her face, and said, "Counting it up, Yelu Yu is still related to my family, but this is not surprising. I, the Yelu clan of the Khitan royal family, have always intermarried with the Xiao clan of the descendants. Yelu Yujian is a royal clan, and he was also a member of the powerful general who can fight with heavy troops. But he was afraid of dying because he was defeated in the palace infighting, so he led his army to the Jurchens, and shamelessly led his troops to attack the Liao State. Although there are many reasons for the demise of our Liao Kingdom, Yelu Yu is guilty of seeing this despicable and shameless traitor! ”
Chu Tianya frowned slightly, Xiao Linglong's words were obviously avoiding the important and trivial, and she didn't talk much about the relationship between her and Yelu Yujian. So Chu Tianya thought in her heart, she was secretive about this relationship, could it be that there was something hidden?
"Okay...... When I didn't ask! Chu Tianya sighed.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Linglong said stunned, "Didn't I say it all?" I met Yelu Yu, but I was just related to each other! ”
"This is the privacy of Lord Xiao, I shouldn't have inquired about it. Well, that's all. Chu Tianya smiled indifferently and said, "In order to avoid suspicion among others, I have to go back." Uncle Ho, we seem to have a big cellar at home, right? When you have time, you stock up on a little more food. ”
"Hehe, do you still need the young master to order this kind of thing?" He Bo smiled strangely, "It's already stuffed!" ”
"What are you storing food for?" Xiao Linglong asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I'm afraid of price increases." Chu Tianya replied indifferently and prepared to leave.
"Is it that the Jin soldiers are about to go south, and Taiyuan is about to face a siege?" Xiao Linglong asked behind Chu Tianya.
Chu Tianya didn't answer, and his footsteps didn't stop walking out.
Xiao Linglong frowned depressedly.
Uncle He stepped forward and whispered in Xiao Linglong's ear: "Girl, the old man wants to say something fair - this is your mistake." Qixingzhai sent you to cooperate with the young master and manage the anti-gold business. Originally, everyone should have done their best to deal with the current dangerous situation and fight against the Jurchen enemy together. You see how much risk the young master took to lurk beside Tong Guan and the others alone, what did you do, girl? - Have you forgotten that the Jurchens are enemies with whom you have the hatred of destroying the country and destroying the people? Although the young master is doing this for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, isn't he helping you deal with the enemy? Just when the young master was carefully managing life and death, you were always watching coldly and reserved everywhere - is this what righteousness does? Is your conscience really happy? ”
Xiao Linglong was extremely ashamed in her heart when she said this, and her face turned red.
Seeing that Chu Tianya was about to walk out of the door, she called, "You stop!" ”
Chu Tianya stopped and looked back, "Something?" ”
"I have something to tell you...... Xiao Linglong sighed lightly, with a look of shame and helplessness on her face, and said softly, "About Yelu Yu!" ”
"Hehe, that's right!" He Bo smiled proudly, "Quick, sit in the room, sit down and talk." The old man is going to make a pot of wine for you, and prepare some sweets for the night! ”
Chu Tianya stared at Xiao Linglong and nodded lightly, "Thank you." ”
Xiao Linglong's eyelids lowered and she turned her face away, and without answering, she walked into the hall. Chu Tianya followed in and sat down with her. He Bo was very affectionate and brought good wine, cut two plates of fruit, put a few plates of caramel and pickles, and went out with a smile. Before leaving, I didn't forget to hide the door.
Chu Tianya looked at He Bo's expression, and felt more and more that he was alive and well, just like Ximen Qing's godmother - the princess who dragged Pan Meimei into the water!
"Before Yelu Yu saw treason and fled, he had a bit of friendship with his father." Xiao Linglong said expressionlessly, and she said, "My Emperor Tianzuo of Daliao has a concubine named Concubine Wen, and Concubine Wen has a sister who is married to Yelu Yujian. Therefore, Yelu Yujian and Emperor Tianzuo are actually still brothers-in-law. Concubine Wen's name is Xiao Sese, and Yelu Yujian's wife is my cousin. Although the Xiao family of the Khitan descendants is large and they are relatives of each other, I have always had a good relationship with the Wen concubine sisters...... Therefore, I know Yelu Yu very well. ”
"Counting, Yelu Yujian is still your cousin?" Chu Tianya said.
"That's right." Xiao Linglong said indifferently, "In addition, I also have two sisters, one of whom is also married to Emperor Tianzuo, and he was also favored earlier. Because I often go in and out of the palace, I have contacts with many royal relatives, ministers, and generals. I often went to my cousin's house, Jeruyu. ”
Speaking of this, a look of disgust and annoyance appeared on Xiao Linglong's face, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Yelu Yu is not a good thing to see that he is wild and untamed and lustful!" ”
Chu Tianya was apprehensive for no reason, and said in his heart: Is it difficult...... Is he still lighter than you?
Xiao Linglong suddenly glared at Chu Tianya angrily, and said in a low voice: "Don't think about it! ”
Chu Tianya was stunned for a moment, "What can I think?" ”
"Hell knows what's going on in your head!" Xiao Linglong glanced at Chu Tianya angrily, and continued, "Since I often go in and out of Yelu Yujian's house, that traitor ...... Somehow, I fell in love with me. So he also asked my cousin Concubine Wen Niangniang to thread the needle for him, and wanted to ask for a marriage from His Majesty, and wanted to accept me as a concubine - it really doesn't make sense! My dignified county lord...... Even if I wasn't the county lord, I wouldn't have been able to look down on that hateful traitor! ”
"I see...... It seems that you don't hate him in general, so it's no wonder you don't want to mention this past. Chu Tianya said this, but he secretly sighed in his heart for some reason.
Xiao Linglong carefully paid attention to Chu Tianya's expression as she said these words. She had already calculated in her heart that if Chu Tianya listened to these stories and made funny or obscene gestures, the conversation would stop and stay away from him from now on; Conversely, if he doesn't react in that frivolous and shallow way...... Then maybe we can get along!
But now, Xiao Linglong vaguely heard a hint of "rest assured" from Chu Tianya's words. She couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart, and said secretly: This guy seems to care about my past?
So she said, "Why don't you ask, did Emperor Tianzuo give us a marriage?" ”
Chu Tianya smiled slightly and said, "I think with the character of Lord Xiao, no matter whether Emperor Tianzuo gives him a marriage or not, you would rather die than be with Yelu Yu, right?" ”
Xiao Linglong was slightly stunned and nodded, "You're right. In the end, His Majesty did not grant marriage, and the reason was that I refused to die! ”
Chu Tianya smiled, "So, why should I ask?" ”
"But the traitor never gave up this wishful thinking. Even before he plotted treason and escaped, he came to me privately and invited me to go out hunting with him. wanted to kidnap me and defect to the Jin Kingdom in the name of this, but I was scolded and blown away! Speaking of this, Xiao Linglong was already gritting her teeth with hatred, "That traitor! If I had known this, I should have killed him with one stab! ”
"I've only been with Yelu Yu for three days, and I've had the urge to kill him no less than a hundred times. Therefore, I can probably understand Lord Xiao's mood. Chu Tianya said calmly, "If one day we can really kill him...... I'll let you do it yourself. ”
Xiao Linglong let out a long sullen breath, "One word is a certainty!" ”
Chu Tianya pondered for a moment and said, "Since Yelu Yujian is a traitor who does not keep his word to Qin and Chu, is it possible for us to persuade him to switch to us again, and then help us kill Tong Guan?" ”
"I know what you're thinking." Xiao Linglong looked at Chu Tianya with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said bluntly, "If it was in the past, let me come forward to lobby on the condition of marriage, and it would be impossible for Yelu Yu to agree." But time has passed, and now Yelu Yujian is already a lackey of the Jin Kingdom, and it is difficult to say whether he dares to turn his back on his newly recognized master of the Jin Kingdom. Because he turned his back on Liao in the past, first, his life was at risk, and someone in his country wanted to harm him. In fact, he could also be said to have been forced away at that time; The second most important reason was that at that time, the momentum of the Jin State was fierce, and the Liao State was losing and retreating, so he was determined to rebel against the Liao and reduce the Jin. In other words, the fact that Jerod would only take refuge in a more powerful master - just because he was greedy for money, lustful, and unfaithful, did not mean that he was stupid. Would he give up even his life for the sake of me, a woman? ”
"No, it won't." Chu Tianya said very calmly but quite surely, "If he was really a person who values love and righteousness, he would not have turned his back on the Liao State at that time." So I said at the beginning, I won't use any indiscriminate beauty tricks to tempt Yelu Yu. At this moment, Yelu Yu was accompanied by thirty beautiful prostitutes, all of whom were picked by Tong Guan. But what could this make Jerod decide or change? - This kind of indiscriminate thing is only done by Tong Guan. ”
Xiao Linglong's heart was secretly relieved, and her voice softened, and she asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
"There's no way for the time being, because I don't know much about Yelu yet." Chu Tianya said, "If you can't think of a better way, you have to follow what we agreed before - kill Tong Guan first, and then frame it for Yelu Yujian!" ”
"But it's not easy." Xiao Linglong said, "First, people like Tong Guan should have long been accustomed to dealing with all kinds of assassins, and they are not as easy to kill as you imagined; Second, Yelu Yujian was a fierce general of the three armies of my Great Liao State, and his martial arts were not weak. Moreover, he is not stupid at all. Otherwise, do you think that the wolf lord of the Jin Kingdom will really send a fool to envoy to the southern country? ”
Chu Tianya wrinkled his eyebrows and nodded, "I can feel that Yelu Yu is actually thick on the outside and thin on the inside, and the city is extremely deep. In the past few days, Yelu Yujian has been very rude to Tong Guan, and his arrogance has reached the peak. On the surface, he is unscrupulous, arrogant, and reckless; In fact, he has always deliberately provoked Tong Guan and his generals, wanting to test their courage and bottom line. I think these should be the wolf lord of the Jin Kingdom when he was leaving, he ordered him to do it intentionally! - Therefore, I am even more convinced that the Jin Kingdom is about to invade the south! Yelu Yu saw that he had come to throw stones at his master of the Jin Kingdom to ask for directions! ”
"You're right. This has always been the case with Jerod. He has always pretended to be bold and generous, but in fact, he is insidious and unpredictable. Xiao Linglong said, "You are not bad, you can actually see it at a glance." ”
"Are you praising me or hurting me?" Chu Tianya said with a smile, "Actually, I want to know, what weakness does Yelu Yu see, or what is it that he particularly cares about] and scruples?" ”
"I've always hated him, so where would I bother to get to know him?" Xiao Linglong frowned and said, "This...... I really don't know. ”
"Then forget it." Chu Tianya smiled lightly, "If you really can't help it, you have to use the simplest and most effective method!" ”
"At the same time, that's the riskiest approach." Xiao Linglong said, "I advise you to think more and be careful." If you don't get it right, you're the enemy of the world. Tong Guan and the Jurchens can kill you, and even the entire southern kingdom will not be able to tolerate you! ”
"Are you worried about me?" Chu Tianya said with a smile.
“…… You didn't say it to me! Xiao Linglong rolled her eyes unladylikely, "A market Taibao like you, who is full of bad water, deserves to be cut by a thousand knives!" ”.
