Chapter 147: Separate Flights
The meeting was dispersed, and everyone retreated with their own thoughts.
Because they were on the same road, Chu Tianya walked with He Bo and Xiao Linglong. All three of them were surprisingly silent along the way, and their hearts were heavy.
When Yuheng Palace was about to break up, Xiao Linglong suddenly said, "Tianya, come and talk to me?" ”
"You talk, the old man will go back first." After He finished speaking, he left.
The two came to the sea of clouds fairyland behind the Yuheng Palace.
"Tianya, my heart is very messy." Xiao Linglong looked into the distance, her expression was unprecedentedly solemn, and there was a hint of sadness.
"Is it a feeling of being kicked out of your home and being homeless?" Chu Tianya said.
Xiao Linglong nodded, "It's more than that. Although I don't agree with my eldest brother on some things, he is already like my family to me. I had a bad feeling that he was so adventurous this time......"
Chu Tianya sighed softly, "In fact, in terms of the current situation of Qixing Village, there is indeed no better way. Someone has to take the first step to try. Even if you fail, you can alert others and show them the way. Guan Shan is indeed the most courageous and selfless person I have ever met. Although some people will criticize him for his enthusiasm for recruiting peace, those who really understand him as a person will only be moved by his broad mind and spirit of sacrificing his life for righteousness. ”
"He's just that kind of person. Blessings are shared together, and difficulties are shared by others. Xiao Linglong's voice was very soft, and she said a little emotionally, "Although I have always had the best relationship with my second brother since I came to the cottage, I am like a close brother and sister." However, Guan Shan is more like a father and an elder in my mind. Although he only has one arm, he is always using his one arm to support a piece of the sky and shelter us from the wind and rain. ”
Chu Tianya nodded, "Although I don't have much contact with Guan Shan, ...... I have to admit that I have been impressed by his heroism many times. Even Uncle He once said that Guan Shan is one of the few people in the world who can be admired by him. ”
"Tianya, you say...... Will he succeed this time? Xiao Linglong turned her head and looked at him helplessly and eager for an answer.
Chu Tianya wanted to say a few nice words to comfort her, but he knew that he couldn't lie to her. So he sighed lightly, "To be honest, I don't know the bottom of my heart. At today's meeting, I have tried my best to persuade them not to trust the court. But ......"
"Actually, the eldest brother is not stupid, he also knows that this time the court is likely to be cheating." Xiao Linglong said, "But he can't give up such a great opportunity." Although I oppose Zhao'an from the bottom of my heart, I also know that being a good citizen and serving the country is the best destination for us bandits. Eldest brother...... It's really not easy for him! ”
Chu Tianya's brows furrowed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Tianya, I feel like that again...... It is the feeling when the Jurchens were killed and our country was ruined! Xiao Linglong said, her eyes were a little red, "Seeing that Qixingzhai fell apart because of the things in front of me, and I was forced to leave temporarily, my heart was very blocked, and I felt very bad, very bad!" ”
"Shanzhai is like a person, when facing life choices, it is inevitable that there will be trade-offs." Chu Tianya said softly, "Don't worry, you're just leaving the cottage temporarily." I understand Guan Shan's intentions, you and I are a little more special, and it will hinder others from accepting Zhao'an. If we go, they will be less worried and more at ease, which does not mean that Guan Shan has abandoned us. ”
"I understand that, so I don't disagree." Xiao Linglong said, "It's just that I can't imagine the days ahead...... Whether it is a success or a failure! ”
Chu Tianya was slightly stunned, and thought about what Xiao Linglong said-Zhao'an was successful, and everyone else in the cottage belonged to the imperial court, but Xiao Linglong couldn't; Zhao'an failed, Guanshan was more auspicious, Qixingzhai and the court turned against each other and inevitably fell apart!
Either way, it was not a good result for Xiao Linglong.
Chu Tianya stretched out an arm and grabbed Xiao Linglong's shoulder and patted her lightly on the shoulder.
Xiao Linglong trembled slightly, leaned over slightly, and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Don't be afraid, at least, I'll always be with you."
"......" Xiao Linglong was silent, her eyes closed.
The two stood for a long time.
Xiao Linglong said suddenly, "Why is it that the more you care about something, the easier it is to lose?" Is there anything in this world that is worth pouring your heart and soul into? I'm a little scared! ”
Chu Tianya sighed in his heart, such a topic cannot be studied deeply, otherwise it will inevitably touch Xiao Linglong's new and old injuries and explode together.
"Don't think too much, maybe things aren't as bad as we think. Also, when I go to Xishan, I will also find a way to solve these problems. Chu Tianya said, "Go back and rest early." Pack up your people, take your Yaksha army and the Yelu brothers, let's go to Xishan early, so we can plan early. ”
"Good ......" Xiao Linglong looked at Chu Tianya sideways, her eyes were a little hazy, more of an expectation and request for help from him.
Seeing the kind of pear blossom with rain that she rarely revealed, Chu Tianya's heart was slightly sour.
Doesn't she just want a home?
It's so fucking hard, too!
Chu Tianya simply hugged him in his arms, "Believe me, I will do my best...... Protect the Seven Star Village! ”
That night, Xue Yu came to Chu Tianya again. He barely said a word, just pulled Chu Tianya to drink and drink non-stop. Obviously, he wanted to get drunk, but he couldn't get drunk, but the more he drank, the more energetic he became, and his eyes brightened.
Chu Tianya knew that he must have a very heavy heart.
He Bo watched from the sidelines, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner, "Silly boy, did you hand over Wanyan Xiyin to Guan Shan?" ”
Xue Yu suddenly looked at Uncle He with wide eyes.
"What do you see? The old man knows what kind of shit you're going to shit! Uncle He said angrily, "You just have that little bit of interest, do you really think that with a perfect face Xiyin, you can get back your mother-in-law?" ”
"Master...... What did you do wrong? Xue Yu's expression suddenly became very dazed.
He Bo sighed and said, "You kid is good at everything, but you are too obsessed with the affairs of men and women. Originally, you wanted to be in love with your mother, this is human nature, not a mistake. But how can a man's husband be depressed because he has lost a woman? If you see dozens of members of your family being killed and mutilated like an old man, then you can't find a short-sighted view? Now I don't know if your lady is dead or alive. If you meet again one day, how sad will she be when she sees that you don't look like a human and a ghost doesn't look like a ghost? ”
Xue Yu lowered his head, "Master's lesson is that the apprentice is indeed unambitious!" ”
"Rubbish!" Uncle He was furious, stepped forward and slapped Xue Yu on the head, "Can't you be a little more aggressive, and rely on your own ability to go to the Jurchens to snatch your lady?" What is it that you have with a Wanyan Xiyin? What position and name do you use to negotiate with the Jin Guoren? You have delayed social diplomacy and cottage affairs with your own selfishness, what face can you compare with such a major event with your children's private affairs? Although the old man was not optimistic about Guan Shan's insistence on accepting Zhao'an, he tried to stand on the side of the overall situation after all. What about you? You know that you are thinking about your mother-in-law, mother-in-law! You worthless bastard, the old man really hates that he didn't slap you to death in the first place, and it saves you from being embarrassed everywhere now! ”
On the battlefield, Xue Yu, who was majestic and cut people like chopping vegetables, was scolded so that he had no temper, and his head was drooping into his crotch.
Chu Tianya hurriedly came out of the round, "Okay, old man, don't you say a few words, aren't you sprinkling salt on your wounds!" ”
"Phew! Over the years, it has been a lack of people like the old man who have scolded him, so that he can be willful, blindly depressed and degenerate, and practice himself! He Bo was still angry, jumping to his feet and scolding like a shrew scolding the street, "Bastard, listen! If you still think that I am your master, and if you still think that you are a man's husband, don't look like a dead man and a ghost all day long, and only know how to drink and get drunk. The old man taught you this skill, not for you to use it to mourn and mourn! Now the foreign enemies of the Great Song Dynasty are currently facing many crises in the cottage, you are also a person who was born in Wuju and became a general, and now you are also the leader of the cottage, you should take it out and do a career! Your lady's life and death are uncertain now, you are drunk all day long, crying and crying, and she will not come back, it is better to cheer up and open the knife to the Jurchens, and rely on your ability to find her back! ”
Xue Yu raised his head, let out a long breath, stood up straight, and hugged his fist at Uncle He: "Master has taught him a lesson!" In vain...... Knew how to do it! ”
"It's good to know, don't get drunk all day and embarrass people everywhere." He Bo pursed his lips directly, "Your senior brother is already a little unpleasant, don't let me down again!" ”
Xue Yu couldn't help but be stunned, "Senior brother...... The hero is famous and famous, and he has not humiliated the division. I don't know ...... Master."
"Fart, you know what!" He Bo reprimanded angrily, "He is now with stiff wings, thinking that he is great, full of commanding spirit and self-righteous spirit." Being too arrogant and getting carried away is not a good thing. His ability and achievements are still 108,000 miles behind Fang Lalai, but that arrogance is no worse than Fang La's. Is this the magnanimity and open-mindedness to achieve great things? In the final analysis, Jiao Wentong is just a general, not a handsome talent! If Qixingzhai is under his leadership, it will definitely be difficult to become a climate! - Can the old man not be disappointed in him! ”
Xue Yu blinked blankly, how dare he refute, so he nodded silently.
"Okay, old man, you're really angry today-Xiao Fei, help the old man go down to rest and get him some herbal tea to drink." Chu Tianya smiled and helped Uncle He out.
Xue Yu wiped cold sweat with relief.
"Brother Xue, don't care, Uncle He is such a temper." Chu Tianya said with a smile.
"Naturally, I know this better than you." Xue Yu smiled bitterly, "In the past, when I was studying art in Tokyo, if I wasn't scolded by his old man one day, I wouldn't be at ease. Seriously, it's actually quite comfortable to be scolded by him like this. Because, indeed, no one scolded me for years. Contrary to his words, his old man has no bad intentions towards me. ”
"He scolded you when he looked at you as a kiss. So I think he actually loves you a lot. Chu Tianya said with a smile, "I haven't seen him scold Second Brother Jiao, maybe he knows that you are a person who can listen to scolding and be persuaded." ”
Xue Yu nodded, "Senior brother's temperament is a little arrogant, he can't bear such a scolding, and he won't be able to hang his face." ”
Chu Tianya nodded with a smile, "Brother Xue is a person who values love and righteousness, and he is also very filial to his master. I also know a little about my sister-in-law's affairs. In the future, if there is anything that can help, Chu will definitely do his best. ”
"There's Brother Lao Chu." Xue Yu smiled slightly, hugged his fists and said, "The night is deep, so it's inconvenient to disturb." Brother Chu should rest for a long time, Xue has said goodbye - by the way, after the eldest brother leaves, Xue will stay in Qixingzhai and preside over the affairs of the cottage with the senior brother. Rest assured, after eating Master's scolding, Xue will start to quit drinking from now on, and he will no longer make mistakes due to alcohol, and he will not be depressed and degenerate. If Brother Chu has a place to get Xue, just ask! In addition, at this time, the cottage was in an eventful time, and Xue was also responsible for the cottage, so he was afraid that he would not take good care of it, and asked Brother Chu to invite the master and his old man to Xishan to live temporarily. If it is convenient, Xue will go to his old man's knee to do his filial piety. ”
"Okay." Chu Tianya hugged his fists and said goodbye.
Late the next night, Yuheng Palace and Kaiyang Palace were crowded. Chu Tianya and Xiao Linglong are ready to leave Qixingzhai and go to Xishan. Chu Tianya is just a person and a few burdens here, and there is nothing to clean up. Xiao Linglong is a thousand-strong person who drags her family, and her momentum is not small.
In order not to alarm Xu Han and cause unnecessary trouble, they had to go down the mountain late at night, avoid Taiyuan by a detour, and go to Qingyun Fort in Xishan.
Guan Shan and Jiao Wentong and others were sent together, and they were not stopped until they could be sent down the mountain.
Xiao Linglong's expression was gloomy several times, and Chu Tianya had to persuade him all the way.
"Tianya, I leave the mountain this time, I don't know when I will be able to come back? At that time, I don't know how many personnel changes? ”
"It won't be long." Chu Tianya said, "Taihang, Xishan, Taiyuan, since they have fought side by side and lived and died together, sooner or later they will be united again!" …… Perhaps, at the time of the next southern invasion of the Jurchens! ”
