The next day, there was a heavy rain, and the streets of Taiyuan were covered with deep water and mud.

The weather was so bad, and the distance from the post house to the Xuanfu Division was not too close, so today's meeting of diplomatic relations between the two countries had to be temporarily canceled.

Zhang Xiaochun was about to send someone to the pavilion to inform Shi Liai, when Chu Tianya came. As soon as his heart moved, Chu Tianya was proud to go to the pavilion to run this leg, and when he saw him, he immediately fell in love with him.

Where will Zhang Xiaochun refuse? With a few soldiers from the Xuanfu Division, the military commander made Chu Tianya go to the pavilion.

Shi Liai accompanied more than thirty or forty people, and all the pavilions in Taiyuan Mansion were vacated and they lived. Now, inside and outside the pavilion are still guarded by the guards of the Jin Kingdom, and Zhang Xiaochun originally sent some people to be responsible for receiving them, because they didn't match each other's temperament, and they took advantage of the heavy rain to hide and be lazy.

After Chu Tianya reported, he entered the pavilion, Shi Liai was sitting in a pavilion reading a book, surrounded by several guards on guard, and there was a boy waiting for the bookcase beside him.

Seeing Chu Tianya walking over with an umbrella, the eyes of those guards were on fire. Yesterday's events are still vivid, and they hate this bold and rude Song Dynasty general.

"Don't stare at him like that." Shi Liai looked at the book and said without squinting.

"Mastermind, this person is rude, it's better to kill him!" The nearby guard gritted his teeth.

"Kill him? You're not qualified. Shi Liai put down the book with a slight smile, looked at Chu Tianya, who was approaching step by step, with blazing eyes, and said to himself, "Even if you stare at him, you don't have that qualification." ”

The guard who spoke couldn't help but be stunned, "This person has a unique skill, or does he have a great background?" ”

Shi Liai smiled slightly, "I only know that if the wolf lord sees him, he will definitely sit with him." ”

The guard's eyes widened and his mouth opened in a circle.

At this time, Chu Tianya had already walked into the pavilion, put down his umbrella and bowed with his fists in his fist, "The last general came to pass the word on the order of Governor Zhang. Due to the bad weather, it is not convenient for diplomatic talks today. If there is anything wrong, I hope that you will make Haihan. ”

"It makes sense, and there is no need to be serious." Shi Liai stood up with a smile, walked forward two steps with his back cut and walked in front of Chu Tianya, and said with a smile, "General Song can deign to come in person, but it is an unexpected surprise. ”

"Oh, really?" Chu Tianya smiled indifferently.

"General, please be seated!" Shi Liai took a step to the side and pointed to the stone bench across from him.

Chu Tianya was not polite, hugged his fists and sat down with a swagger. Shi Liai sat back in his seat and instructed the attendants to serve tea and take snacks.

"I didn't expect your envoy to be so hospitable." Chu Tianya said with a smile.

"The state of etiquette in the Central Plains, the envoy should also follow the customs!" Shi Liai said, "I see that the general has an outstanding appearance and extraordinary instruments, and he must be from a noble background. Although he is now stooping into the army, he will become a great weapon one day. ”

"Then thanks to your envoy's good words." Chu Tianya said with a smile, "Actually, the last general can be the commander of this military capital, he is already satisfied, and there is no extravagance." ”

"Ho-ho!" Shi Liai couldn't help laughing, and was slapping and laughing.

"Why is your envoy laughing so loudly?" Chu Tianya asked.

"Of course the envoy is laughing at ridiculous people and ridiculous things." As soon as Shi Liai's eyelids were raised, his gaze was like a blade on Chu Tianya's face.

"What is so funny, can you say it and make the general happy?" Chu Tianya said indifferently.

"I can't." Shi Liai replied with a smile on his face, very decisively.

"Haha!" This time, Chu Tianya laughed loudly, and he said, "Your envoy, what an interesting person. ”

"The general too." Shi Liai raised the teacup, "Come, this envoy will replace wine with tea, respect the general, and respect a wonderful person." ”

"Please!" Chu Tianya was not polite, so he agreed to his invitation.

After putting down the teacup, Shi Liai stared at Chu Tianya with a pair of eyes, as if he wanted to see the first pore on his face clearly, without blinking his eyes.

"I'll be embarrassed if your envoy looks at me like that." Chu Tianya said with a smile, "It must be stated that the last general does not have the habit of breaking his sleeves and splitting peaches. ”

"Ho-ho, the general is really good at laughing." Shi Liai smiled disapprovingly and said, "It is said that the face is born from the heart, and it is true." ”

"So, your envoy will meet again?"

"I know a little bit about it."

Chu Tianya smiled, "Then how about asking your envoy for advice?" What does this face look like? ”

"Huh! ......" Shi Liai chuckled in a long voice, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said, "The general's face can only be understood, not spoken. However, this envoy seems to remember that he once saw a face similar to that of a general, in Dajin Kingdom. ”

"Oh? It won't be my long-lost brother! Chu Tianya said with a smile.

"Of course not." Shi Liai said, "The so-called physiognomy is not the looks. Physiognomy can reveal a person's temperament and fate, and the person the envoy is talking about is similar to the general's physiognomy in many ways. ”

"Which one could it be?" Chu Tianya asked.

"The four princes of the Jin Kingdom, that is, the four princes as you Song people say, Wanyan Zongbi." Shi Liai said.

"Vultures?" Chu Tianya smiled, "No! ”

"It seems that the general is no stranger to him." Shi Liai smiled and said, "It's just a conversation after dinner, the general doesn't have to care." If the general could see him with his own eyes, he would naturally understand. ”

Chu Tianya nodded quietly, and said in his heart: Listening to Shi Liai's meaning of saying this, it is nothing more than to sue me, don't think that if you win Yan Zonghan, you will already be invincible in the world and be able to despise the Jin Kingdom. In the Kingdom of Jin, there are far more powerful characters than Zong Han. Figuratively speaking, the fourth prince finished Yan Zongbi, the golden vulture in Yue Fei's biography.

"I don't know, is there any news about the person the envoy entrusted the general to find?" Shi Liai asked suddenly.

"Not yet." Chu Tianya replied, "Don't worry, I will try my best to help you find it." ”

"That's good." Shi Liai picked up the teacup and pretended to be careless and said, "Don't hide it from the general, that woman is the main woman." If you can't bring people back, the envoy won't be able to explain it! ”

"Oh, it turns out that she still has such a special status, the wife of Marshal Jin." Chu Tianya said deliberately.

"No, not ma'am." Shi Liai glanced at Chu Tianya's eyes, "It's just a thing to play, no different from eagles, dogs, dogs, and horses." ”

Chu Tianya's heart tightened inexplicably, and his expression changed slightly.

Shi Liai seemed to see what he wanted to see, smiled slightly proudly, and said: "Men, even their own women don't want to be snatched away by others, even if they are tired of playing, what do you say, general?" ”

"That's right." Chu Tianya replied casually, and said in his heart, this guy has also used a discordant trick on me, and I have to tell sù that Zhu'er is a broken shoe, and she is a rotten woman who is tired of Yan Zonghan. Shi Li loves this product, and his scheming is indeed deep!

"It's a trivial matter, and I won't mention it repeatedly. If the general finds her, whether she lives or dies, please bring her to the envoy. This envoy will be thanked! Shi Liai said.

"Okay." Chu Tianya didn't say much, so he was ready to get up and leave.

"General, where are you going?" Shi Liai asked.

"Back to the barracks, of course." Chu Tianya replied.

Shi Liai also stood up, "It's just idle and has nothing to do, I don't know if I can invite the general to appreciate his face and accompany the envoy to Taiyuan City for a visit?" ”

"It's raining so heavily and the roads are muddy, I'm afraid it's not too convenient." Chu Tianya said.

"It doesn't matter. It's not interesting. Shi Liai deliberately insisted, and asked someone to bring an umbrella, "General, please?" ”

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

The group, Chu Tianya with a few soldiers from the Xuanfu Division, Shi Liai with some Jin State guards, then left the pavilion and walked to the muddy Taiyuan Street.

Due to the heavy rain, there were very few pedestrians on the streets. This place is close to the north gate, so Shi Liai said that he would go to the north of Taiyuan to have a look.

Chu Tianya took them with him.

The sky and the earth are surging, and the rain is like a curtain. The Taihang Mountains in the distance are hazy, and the water of the Jin Temple is only a vague shape.

"Taiyuan, what a good place!" After Shi Liai raised his eyes and looked at it for a while, he sighed, "The mountains and rivers are majestic, and the choke road is dangerous, and it is indeed a throat place for soldiers to fight." ”

Chu Tianya didn't answer, and stood quietly next to him.

Shi Liai patted the wet female wall tiles and said, "Did the general participate in the Battle of Taiyuan last year?" ”

"Yes." Chu Tianya replied briefly.

Shi Liai smiled slightly, "The soldiers who survived that war are all amazing people. Whether it is a Song person or a Jurchen person, it is amazing. ”

"I agree." Chu Tianya turned his head to look at him, "As far as I know, your envoy has also been to the battlefield in person?" ”

"Yes! The envoy not only participated in that war, but also bore the crime of negligence and dereliction of duty, so that the wolf lord was defeated and left the Yellow Dragon Valley. Shi Liai's self-deprecating smile also met Chu Tianya's gaze and looked at him, "In that war, countless people died, and in the end, only a few people were achieved. One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, is that so, General Song? ”

"War, hasn't it always been like this?" Chu Tianya said indifferently, "Listening to your envoy's tone, the Jin Kingdom must go and return to avenge last year's one-arrow revenge?" ”

"Ho-ho!" Shi Liai smiled, "If the purpose of the war is to take revenge and vent anger, then it is not only meaningless, but also will definitely be defeated." General Song, what do you think? ”

"Your Excellency." Chu Tianya responded, and his heart couldn't help but move slightly: Shi Liai's calmness and wisdom are indeed beyond ordinary people. After experiencing a defeat, such a person will not be provoked and defeated, but will be more cautious and powerful...... This is a dangerous sign for us!

"General Song, if you were the wolf lord, how would you attack Taiyuan City?" Shi Liai suddenly asked such an outrageous question.

When the people around heard this, they all lifted their spirits and were all vigilant.

"Is this question ......" Chu Tianya smiled and said in a very relaxed and casual tone, "If I were Wanyan Zonghan, I wouldn't come to fight Taiyuan." ”

"Why?" Shi Liai naturally answered and asked.

"Because ......," Chu Tianya grinned, "he has already lost once, and he can't afford to lose again." At present, for him, only by destroying the withered or bloodless taking Taiyuan can he be regarded as winning. But do you think this is possible, your lordship? ”
