When he learned the news of Tong Guan's death, Wang Yu was struck by lightning and almost lost his footing.

But the prefect Zhang Xiaochun and the officials and generals were helpless like ants on a hot pot, all looking at him with blank eyes, waiting for him to preside over the overall situation.

Wang Xun had no choice but to help his father to the back hall to rest for the time being.

After a long time, Wang Yu, who almost fainted, finally stabilized his mind and asked, "Xun'er, where is the end of the world?" ”

He was arrested by Liu Yanqing and swam the streets for a few days. However, last night there was a fire in the palace, and someone rescued him. Now nowhere to be found. Wang Xun replied cautiously.

"Why did Liu Yanqing arrest him?"

"It is said that someone confessed that he was a thief in the West Mountain......"

"What about Liu Yanqing? At a critical juncture, why didn't he, the deputy commander, come out to preside over the overall situation? ”

Liu Yanqing ...... It's gone. ”

After a few questions and answers, Wang Yu suddenly woke up most of his heart. He couldn't help but close his eyes and let out a long sigh, falling into a long silence.

"Father, what's wrong?" Wang Xun asked worriedly.

Wang Yu opened his eyes, his old eyebrows were deeply furrowed and his expression was worried, but his eyes were resolute, "Let's go, go and stabilize the army first!" ”

On the same day, Wang Yu was elected by Governor Liu and the generals to temporarily take charge of the military power of the Shengjie army. In order to avoid panic among the people caused by the chaos of the army, the assassination of Tong Guan was temporarily hidden, and the army did not officially mourn Tong Guan. Wang Yu's capital is located, and he temporarily has the military and political power of the Xuanfu Division in Hedong. More than 5,000 Shengjie troops were transferred into Taiyuan City to maintain law and order and stabilize people's hearts. At the same time, the prefect's yamen and the army sent a large number of people to dig three feet into the ground in Taiyuan Prefecture to search for Yelu Yujian, and to find Tong Guan's head.

At the same time, Wang Yu also issued a secret order - in Taiyuan City, on the pretext of arresting the arsonist of the palace, secretly search for Chu Tianya!

Chu Tianya's temporary residence is just an ordinary inn, and he will inevitably be searched.

Just when a team of soldiers rushed into the room to get someone, Chu Tianya was sitting there playing chess quietly with Bai Xu. Meng De watched the battle from the sidelines, Xiao Fei served tea, and the well-behaved Xiao Ai was beating the legs of He Bo who was dozing off, looking a leisurely scene.

The sergeants couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this scene, and the leading junior colonel scolded: "You thief is so bold, you are still so leisurely when you die!" ”

"Brother Chu, it's finally here." Bai Xu pinched a white chess piece in the middle finger of his right hand and said with a smile, "Your predictions are always so accurate, Wang Dutong really sent people to search for you in the city." ”

"Then are we still playing this game of chess?" Chu Tianya turned his head and glanced at the sergeants and said with a smile.

"Let's get down to business first!" Bai Xu threw the chess piece into the chess basket, stood up and bowed to the soldiers, "Generals, Xiaosheng's surname is Bai, and he is a leader of Taihang Qixing Mountain. The strong man next to him is surnamed Meng, and he is the head of the eighteen villages of Xishan. If you capture Chu Tianya, you can take the two of us with you. ”

All the sergeants were stunned again, and they were all a little dumbfounded, "What's going on in this world now?" And such a daring thief? ”

Chu Tianya stood up with a smile, "Fellow comrades, please take the three of us to meet Wang Dutong." ”

"You are a thief who killed heaven, adding arson and escape from prison to crime, and you still want to see Wang Dutong?" The sergeants were furious, and they stepped forward with their knives to hold Chu Tianya's neck with their knives.

Suddenly, a shadow flew forward, and the sergeant with the knife in front of his head only felt a flower in front of him, his wrist as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and the knife fell into his hand with a scream.

He Bo smiled and stood in front of Chu Tianya, raised a finger and shook it at the sergeant, "Don't toast or eat and drink." Just a few of you, do you want to make a mistake here? Be obedient and take them to the king. Maybe you will have a reward. If he is stubborn again, the old man will not show mercy! ”

All the sergeants were frightened, and they only saw the old man lying there like a dying man, and this sudden attack was as fast as a ghost, and it was obvious that his martial arts were ridiculously high.

"The brothers have also seen it, we have no intention of resisting or running away, so why should you hurt the harmony fiercely?" Chu Tianya still smiled and said, "Wang Dutong is my mentor, even if I have committed a capital crime, it is human nature to see him." Besides, I have a big matter to report to the king, and I ask you to make it easier. ”

The sergeants looked at each other for a while, but they had to comply. didn't dare to tie up or put them in the flail, only took Chu Tianya, Bai Xu and Meng De out of the inn and went straight to the Dutong Mansion.

He Bo stood by the window on the second floor, watching Chu Tianya and his party go away, and let out a long sigh of leisure.

"Old man, Brother Chu will be fine, right?" Xiao Ai asked in a worried whisper behind him.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Uncle He smiled and said, "Little girl, go home with the old man, cook good food and hot wine, and wait for them to come back and have dinner together!" ”

"Okay, good!" Xiao Ai's mouth stammered a little under surprise, "Are you going back to Brother Chu's house?" ”

"Yes, hard-working girl, you will have a home in the future." He Bo was still smiling, looking at Xiao Ai with pity, and sighed lightly, "If my youngest daughter is still alive, she will be about your age, seventeen or eighteen years old. The young master has done a great deed, I am a lonely old man, and you are a lonely little girl, just as a companion. ”

"Then the old man will let the slave family worship as a father-in-law!" Xiao Ai knelt down as he spoke, "The slave family is a lowly and miserable person, and there are no relatives in the world!" In the future, I will honor the old man as my biological father! ”

He Bo's eyes narrowed with laughter, "Okay, okay, I'll recognize you as a goddaughter—get up!" ”

"So, what about me?" Xiao Fei on the side was stunned and said, "Can I also worship the old man as my father-in-law, or worship you as a teacher?" I'm an orphan too! ”

"You?" He Bo laughed hesitantly, "Didn't your crotch boss do a good job?" - Go, go to the street and buy some fruit to eat, the old man is greedy! ”

When Chu Tianya, Bai Xu, and Meng De came to the Dutong Mansion, it happened that Wang Yu had just returned from the palace to mourn. As soon as Bu saw Chu Tianya, Wang Yu's brows furrowed, and the look in his eyes was quite complicated.

Chu Tianya stepped forward to give a salute, "The student has seen the teacher. These two are ......"

Wang Yu interrupted Chu Tianya's words with a wave of his hand, and said in a deep voice: "You are already a prisoner who has broken the law, how can you stand in my capital mansion so grandly?" - Someone, take it down, and send it to the prison city! ”

"Mentor and slow!" Chu Tianya knew that Wang Yu was an upright person, and he had to pretend like this because of the crowd of people, so he was not angry, so he said, "The student escaped from prison and escaped, and he was forced to escape. Just to leave a useful body and tell the teacher what is important. These two, one is Meng De, the leader of the Eighteen Villages of Xishan, and the other is Bai Xu, the military advisor of Taihang Qixing Mountain. The two righteous men both have important things to tell their teachers. Why don't you listen to us first? The students had no intention of escaping. If the teacher wants to take me, why should I be late? ”

Wang Xun was behind Wang Yu, squeezing his eyebrows at Chu Tianya with a happy face.

"Okay, old man, listen first, what do you have to say!" Wang Yu shook his robe and strode towards the main hall.

Chu Tianya and the other three followed, and Wang Xun stopped in front of the hall and blocked the other idlers and others, and did not allow them to enter.

Wang Yu sat down in the right seat first, staring at Chu Tianya with a pair of old eyes like tigers, and walked in step by step.

There are no idle people around.

Without waiting for Chu Tianya to stand still, Wang Yu split his head and asked, "Did you design to kill Master Tong?" ”

"It's not." Chu Tianya replied without hesitation.

Even if he knew it, of course Chu Tianya would not admit it in person, otherwise, with Wang Yu's character, he would have to give Tong Guan an explanation and give an explanation to his conscience, otherwise he would not be able to pass his own level. So Chu Tianya only said, "Not surprisingly, it should be killed by Yelu Yujian!" ”

Wang Yu asked again: "Why did he kill the Taishi?" ”

"The student didn't know, but he vaguely knew that he had this intention." Chu Tianya's answer was like a stream.

Wang Yu exhaled heavily in his nose, and nodded with a frown, "Okay, I can ask you later-you three, what do you have to say to the old man?" ”

"Wang Dutong, Xiao Sheng, on behalf of my Qixing Mountain and the Taihang Zhongzhai Righteous Army, I have come to discuss with Wang Dutong and work together to resist the invasion of the Jurchen Bandits." Bai Xu stepped forward and arched his hand, "This master of Meng Zhai has the same intention as Xiaosheng. I have a total of more than 40,000 people on both sides, nine mountains and eighteen villages, and I am willing to listen to the king's command, just to protect Taiyuan and fight against strong enemies! ”

As early as a few days ago, Wang Yu and Chu Tianya agreed to use the help of the rebel army in Taiyuan to fight against the Jurchens. The current situation is exactly what is expected, and it is also a good thing. But Wang Yu couldn't be a little happy. He frowned deeply and said, "All Chu Tianya invited you here?" ”

Bai Xu smiled slightly, "Of course, it was Brother Chu who conveyed Wang Dutong's invitation first, and I waited for the invitation to come." Of course, it is the duty of us and other heroes in the green forest to eliminate violence and peace. Even if no one is invited, we will come here in righteousness. ”

When Chu Tianya heard Bai Xu's words, he was immediately relieved, and felt even more that this person was indeed smart. Because his words were smooth enough, he downplayed the close relationship between Chu Tianya and Xishan and Taihang Zhuzhai. Thus, it will also pave the way for the next "Taihang Mountain Dedicated to Yelu Yujian", so it will not make people think too much that Chu Tianya is related to the killing of Tong Guan and the arrest of Yelu Yujian.

Wang Yu nodded, his face finally looked better, and he raised his fist and saluted Bai Xu and Meng De back, "You righteous people are willing to come to protect Taiyuan, which is the blessing of the army and the people of this city." Wang thanked me in advance! …… It's just that because the Taishi is newly mourned, the head is missing, and the murderer is still at large, so the hearts of the people in the Shengjie army are fluctuating. I'm afraid that Wang will have to spend some time to stabilize the army first, so that he can sit down with you and discuss the matter of defending against the enemy. ”

"The murder of the Taishi caused the morale of the officers and soldiers to fluctuate, which was extremely unfavorable to the Jin Daji." Bai Xu said leisurely, "However, if the murderer can be captured in the shortest possible time and the head of the Taishi can be retrieved, Xiao Sheng thinks that the military spirit of the official army will be able to stabilize immediately, and they will be able to unite with the enemy to fight against the Jurchen!" ”

Wang Yu's face couldn't help but sink, "Listening to the voice of Mr., could it be that you have a way to capture the murderer and find the head of the Taishi?" ”

"Coincidentally, a few days ago, a certain leader of the village led his men and horses down the mountain as usual, and set up a sentry checkpoint to ask for some dividends for passers-by, but unfortunately bumped into a group of suspicious Jurchens fleeing north in a hurry in Dahuaipo. The two groups of men and horses fought, the Jurchens were outnumbered and half executed, and one of the leading generals was also captured. Bai Xu said with a calm expression, "Originally, the leader thought that he could intercept some gold, silver and jewelry and go up the mountain, but unexpectedly found a head in the Jurchen salute!" ”

Wang Yu suddenly slapped the case, "Could it be that you are the head of the Taishi?!" - What is the name of the Jurchen general? ”

Bai Xu pretended to be thoughtful, and said slowly: "Xiao Sheng hasn't seen that person with his own eyes, I heard that it seems to be called ...... Jeru's aftermath! Xiao Sheng thought that if that head happened to be owned by the Taishi, then these Jurchens must be murderers! ”

Wang Yu stared at Bai Xu for a long time with a fixed expression, and finally nodded, "Then Mr. Lao Bai, send that head and Yelu Yu here together!" ”

"Willing to help." Bai Xu bowed his hand, "If Yelu Yu is really a murderer, it is the sky net that is restored, negligent but not leaky!" ”

"What a Skynet is ......restored," Wang Yu shook his head and smiled, but the meaning of the smile was very complicated, both bitter and helpless.

Chu Tianya saw it in his eyes and sighed in his heart: Wang Yu is a very understanding person, he must have guessed everything. If it weren't for the overall situation, he would have taken me to justice and avenged Tong Guan. With such a "case record", I am destined to be unable to mix in the army and officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty for a long time. If there is a future, my way out is probably ...... Throw yourself into the grass!
