As soon as Chu Tianya said this, Bai Xu's face changed.

"What, I stabbed you in the sore spot?" Chu Tianya was laughing, unabashedly mocking Bai Xu. He deliberately wanted to pierce this layer of window paper, so as to find out the true attitude of Qixingzhai.

Bai Xu's face became more and more ugly, and it felt like being stripped naked in public in the middle of the city.

"It seems that I can't hide anything from you." Bai Xu smiled bitterly, "That's right, you're all on point." Now your head can be said to be the most valuable thing in the world. However, our Qixingzhai will never be able to do that kind of untrustworthy and unrighteous thing, which Brother Chu can rest assured. ”

"You tried your best to stabilize me today, aren't you afraid that I will turn against you, or suddenly run away after hearing the wind?" Chu Tianya sneered, "As long as I'm still in your hands, you still have enough room to play, don't you?" How dare you say that you have no incentive to hand me over in exchange for the one you crave? ”

"Absolutely not." Bai Xu said categorically, with a resolute and resolute expression.

"Okay, then I apologize. It's me who lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Chu Tianya hugged his fists, "However, since my storage zài makes the cottage so difficult, then Chu is still leaving." ”

"Brother Chu can't go." Bai Xu was good-tempered, and he didn't care about Chu Tianya's sarcasm and meanness of deliberately piercing the window paper, but said patiently, "The rivers and lakes are righteous and help the needy." Brother Chu is the benefactor and friend of my cottage, just when you are in danger, how can Qixingzhai turn you away? If so, how will Qixingzhai gain a foothold in the future and how will it win the trust of others? Admittedly, we don't have a good way to have the best of both worlds, but trust me...... Even if you want to meet Xu Han in the end, Qixingzhai will definitely not betray you! ”

"Just for the sake of righteousness?" Chu Tianya's brows tightened.

"Maybe there's more, and I'll understand it later." Bai Xu stood up, clenched his fan and hugged his fists, "Xiao Sheng can only say so much. Please Brother Chu be calm and don't be impatient, don't be suspicious. If there is a big or small matter, Xiaosheng will come to inform Brother Chu, and he will definitely not keep Brother Chu in the dark. ”

"Thank you very much!" Chu Tianya didn't pestering anymore and asked hard.

Chu Tianya sent Bai Xu to the door, and Bai Xu asked him to stop and leave on his own.

Looking at Bai Xu's departing back, Chu Tianya felt more and more that Bai Xu's visit today might just be a private action of his, not commissioned by Guan Shan and Jiao Wentong. Otherwise, many of his words would not be so ambiguous and ambiguous.

From this point of view, the white-haired fox, who is the military advisor and think tank of Qixingzhai, seems to have his own plans. It's just that the time is not ripe now, and he doesn't want to talk to Chu Tianya and Pan.

At this time, He Bo was lying on a couch under the eaves and sleeping in the sun. After Bai Xu walked away, he turned his head sideways and said, "Young master, the kid surnamed Bai is very scheming, you have to be careful." ”

"I know." Chu Tianya nodded, "Although he doesn't have half the domineering and prestige of Guan Shan and Jiao Wentong, his brain is the most dangerous weapon. The corpses of more than 10,000 Jurchens lying in the Yellow Dragon Valley are proof of this. ”

"Have you ever thought that from the beginning to the end of the Battle of Taiyuan, only Qixingzhai has reaped the greatest benefits." He Bo said, "Xishan was destroyed, Tong Guan lost his head and became a prisoner of the ranks, most of the Shengjie army was lost, and the people of Taiyuan also suffered greatly, and even the strength of other cottages in Taihang was greatly weakened." Only Qixingzhai shines. Far from suffering any losses, they have gained great fame and strength, and they have been able to do this because of their scheming and skill. This kid is really not simple, even an old man like me can't see through what he is calculating in his heart for a while. ”

"I knew he was dangerous. But if he can be used by me, it will be the sharpest weapon possible, won't he? Chu Tianya said.

He Bo grinned twice, but laughed a little hard, obviously seriously injured and lacking qi in his body, he said: "Bai Xu can be regarded as a thousand-mile horse, but it is not something that people like Guan Shan and Jiao Wentong can control calmly. Although these two are very capable and have always been able to convince people, they are too different from Bai Xu in terms of mental wisdom. All things are born by nature, and one thing descends from one thing. Perhaps, the young master is really the Bole in Bai Xu's life? ”

Chu Tianya smiled, "I didn't think about it that much. I just hope that Qixingzhai won't become a grave for us now. To do this, it is necessary to win over a person who can win over qiē. ”

He Bo nodded with an approving expression, "It's very admirable that the young master can remain calm and wise at all times. It stands to reason that two and a half of the seven leaders of this cottage were my apprentices, but the situation in the Seven Star Village was far more complicated than imagined, which was one of the reasons why the old man did not go up the mountain when he came to Taiyuan. Guan Shan and Jiao Wentong are both rare heroes, and they are also very righteous and convincing, but the problem may be here, how can one mountain accommodate two tigers? ”

Chu Tianya walked to Uncle He's side, pulled over a small stool and sat down, "I've always been curious, why did Jiao Wentong give up the position of the owner of the village to Guan Shan, who later went up the mountain?" ”

He Bo smiled, "What would happen if someone cut off an arm to save your life?" ”

Chu Tianya's face changed slightly, "You mean, Guan Shan's arm was lost for Jiao Wentong?" ”

"Yes." He Bo nodded, "Very early on, Guan Shan was the chief catcher of Taiyuan Mansion, he was strong and chivalrous in martial arts, and he was famous in the Hedong area, and was known as the first hero in Hedong. Later, Jiao Wentong came to Taiyuan, picked up Qixingzhai with a horse and a bow, and became the master of the big village. Once Guan Shan was ordered to arrest Taihang Xiangma, the two did not know each other, and they became friends with each other. Later, Jiao Wentong was accidentally betrayed and arrested, and Guan Shan resorted to a bitter trick to save him, cutting off his arm and letting him go. Despite this, the matter is still revealed, Guan Shan is arrested and imprisoned and is about to be beheaded. In order to repay the grace of saving his life, Jiao Wentong gathered the strength of the whole village to rob the prisoner and rescue Jiao Wentong on Qixing Mountain, and gave him the position of the owner of the village. ”

Chu Tianya couldn't help but say: "In this way, no matter what the reason, it is impossible for Jiao Wentong to turn his back on Guan Shan?" ”

"No way." He Bo said with great certainty, "No matter how big the matter is, how big the differences are, even if they die by themselves, Jiao Wentong will never be ungrateful and turn his back on Guan Shan, this is his character." Similarly, Guan Shan will never sacrifice anyone in exchange for what he wants, which is also his character. ”

"I see." Chu Tianya nodded with deep understanding, "On the matter of whether to recruit An, the two of them have diametrically opposed opinions, which also makes the division of factions within Qixingzhai appear, and since then has buried the hidden danger of falling apart. In a sense, they should have been enemies of opposites. But it is precisely because of the friendship and righteousness between the two of them that the internal contradictions of Qixingzhai have been brewing for a long time but have never erupted. ”

"That's right." He Bo nodded, "Because of righteousness, they can die for each other without hesitation." But this does not change their original position and beliefs. It sounds paradoxical, but it's actually quite reasonable. Each of us has our own ideas and pursuits, and it is not something that others can change if they ask you to change, right? ”

"That's right......" Chu Tianya nodded, and couldn't help sighing, "Guan Shan and Jiao Wentong, they are both best friends and biggest enemies of each other. If it were me, I would be very entangled and distressed. ”

"But now, because the friendship between the two of them has affected the progress of the entire cottage." He Bo's voice was lowered, "I don't know how long the friendship between them can suppress this contradiction. But I can see that at least this kid surnamed Bai is already a little impatient. He seems to be a little tired of this endless argument and hesitation, and he hopes that Shanzhai can make a clear decision sooner rather than later, especially at this critical juncture. ”

Chu Tianya's face couldn't help but change slightly, "Uncle He means to say...... Bai Xu hopes that one of the two people, Guan Shan and Jiao Wentong, will make compromises and concessions? So, does he personally want to recruit An, or not? ”

"Then what do you think, young master, is it better to recruit An, or not to recruit An?"

"Do you need to ask?" Chu Tianya couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm a felony in the imperial court, it's not enough to die a hundred times, and I may be given to the Jurchens to be beheaded a hundred times at any time, will it be possible for me to hope for Zhao'an?" ”

"That's right." He Bo squinted his eyes, and the iconic old fox smile appeared on his face, "The Tao is not the same, since the kid surnamed Bai has come to you, the idea in his heart is naturally to be close to you." Otherwise, you think that he is full of food and will come to reveal a little cottage secret to you if he has nothing to do? ”

Chu Tianya suddenly realized, and was suddenly surprised: "In this way, Bai Xu personally supports Jiao Wentong's proposition and opposes Zhao'an?" ”

"That's right!" He Bo said quite surely, "This kid has always been neutral in the matter of recruiting An, even Guan Shan and Jiao Wentong can't figure out his thoughts, but his little fox tail is still exposed after all." However, this does not mean that he is very satisfied with Jiao Wentong. In normal times, it is certainly admirable to emphasize love and righteousness. But if you are too obsessed with personal feelings in the face of major rights and wrongs, it will ruin big things. Bai Xu's mind and wisdom are far more far-reaching than the two main Dazhai in the cottage, and he hopes that Qixingzhai can do a great job in this troubled world. Maybe he is not the kind of unkind and unrighteous person who kills the lord and seizes power, but the ambition in his heart has long surpassed everyone in the Seven Star Village! ――Because of this, Guan Shan and Jiao Wentong's hesitation and hesitation due to affection are enough to make Bai Xu tired of it! ”

Hearing these words, Chu Tianya couldn't help but feel a sense of enlightenment, "What Uncle He means is that Bai Xu's thoughts in his heart have long coincided with mine, he hopes that Qixingzhai can take advantage of the prestige of the Huanglong Valley victory and take advantage of the situation to develop and grow, instead of going to the imperial court to become an official and a half-job?" ”

"That's right." He Bo nodded affirmatively, "This is Bai Xu's ambition." Just when Guan Shan and Jiao Wentong were fighting over whether to recruit An, Bai Xu was already anxious. He desperately hoped that Qixingzhai could hold high the banner of righteousness and grow on its own, instead of being entangled in whether to surrender to the government and be a good and obedient citizen. This kid has a bit of ability, and he is not small. His insight and wisdom have far exceeded the realm of a bandit and grass coarse. At this point, neither Guan Shan nor Jiao Wentong could keep up with him, only the young master could stand at the same height as him and hit it off with him. Therefore, looking around the Seven Star Village, Bai Xu is the one who is most hopeful of helping the young master. ”

Chu Tianya's heart was suddenly surging.

Ginger, sure enough, is still old and spicy.

Uncle He's words gave Chu Tianya a feeling of opening the skylight and having a clear mind. If he followed the habitual thinking, He Bo should have recommended his two students, Jiao Wentong and Xue Yu, to Chu Tianya, and let him go there to seek refuge and help; Or let him do something with Xiao Linglong, even if she has low strength in the cottage, at least she is definitely trustworthy.

But Uncle He unexpectedly recommended Bai Xu to Chu Tianya - this white-haired fox who no one could see through his thoughts!

Only a stroke of genius can put the finishing touch.

Chu Tianya seemed to know what he was going to do next. Looking at the sly smile on Uncle He's face, Chu Tianya felt that the wisdom of this strange old man might be even higher than his martial arts!
