After dinner, Chu Tianya came to the sea of clouds fairyland in the mountain behind Yuheng Palace.

Compared with the chaos and hustle and bustle of the foreign office, this place does live up to the name of fairyland. Standing on the edge of the cliff, Chu Tianya watched the sea of clouds rolling between the mountains, listened to the wind and looked at the sea, immersed in the state of mind of fighting and fatigue, and could always be quiet and calm.

It's just that the strong longing and quiet sadness in my heart not only lingered, but became clearer. The three words "Xiao Linglong" have been deeply imprinted in his mind and engraved in his bones for some time. Always inadvertently, her smile and any fragment of the past will appear in Chu Tianya's mind. He even often had the illusion that Xiao Linglong had never left. Maybe push open a door, open a window, and you'll see her smile. Or maybe they will meet unexpectedly in any place where the two of them have been, and the Yiren are still there, just as they first met.

Xiao Linglong is irreplaceable in his heart. So when the Hu girl said that sentence today, she really committed a big taboo in Chu Tianya's heart. He even forgot his identity for a while, and just let out a heartfelt angry cry out of instinct to protect his woman like every ordinary man. If it weren't for the fact that he had experienced too many waves and developed excellent endurance, I am afraid that the man and woman would have died today.

"Flying fox, you don't have to go at all. Why didn't you consult with me beforehand? Do you know what it means for me to own the whole world without you? Chu Tianya whispered to himself, "Now that all the things I need to do have been done, Xishan and Qixingzhai are all under my control." The relationship between me and Jiao Wentong is no longer an order of magnitude, and he has completely lost the strength to compete with me. As for the recovery of Liao...... In fact, even you know that this is no longer possible. Is it worth the happiness that you give up for the sake of this ethereal thing? ”

"The old man can only say that everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced." Suddenly, an old voice came from behind, which startled Chu Tianya.

was able to safely surpass the sentry posts of Anu and Tang An, and dared to suddenly appear behind Chu Tianya, and only He Bo was the only one in the entire cottage.

"Old man, you almost scared me to fall." Chu Tianya looked back and smiled, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He Bo still approached with a smile on his face, "Young Master, the county lord must be relieved to hear your words. But why didn't you tell her these words in the first place? ”

Chu Tianya frowned slightly, speechless.

"The old man has already told you and the county lord that you are born in troubled times, don't care about so much red tape. Young master, you should have married the county lord early, and you should have done it all the time. He Bo said, "Young Master, you also said just now, the happiness that you give up for the sake of ethereal things is obviously not worth it. Not only is it not worth it, but it is stupid. What fame and fortune struggle and worldly vision are actually all bullshit. What do you do with so much? Even if you're still the same little prison camp you used to be, just live your life, why bother with so much bullshit? Moreover, you are now a dignified general, with a hundred thousand people under your command. You just married Lord Xiao, who would dare to do that? Jiao Wentong dares to say a word? The widows and young of the Liao State dare to have opinions? Even if it was the Great Song Dynasty and the Jurchens, what could they do? …… The big husband stands in the world, don't ask whether it's right or wrong, dare to act, just want to have a good time! ”

"The old man has taught him a lesson. In the marriage with Lord Xiao, I am indeed a little forward-looking and self-conscious. Chu Tianya couldn't help but sigh, "Actually, although I have considered what you said, I didn't really take it to heart. What really hindered me and Lord Xiao was not Jiao Wentong or gossip, but Lord Xiao's own inner knot. It doesn't matter if I'm a prison official or the lord of ten thousand, I can make any sacrifice for her, including not being the lord of the throne. But she can't pass the level in her heart, she can't let go of the national hatred and family hatred, and she can't accept the open and secret struggle between me and Jiao Wentong. Although she looks cold and arrogant on the surface, in fact, her heart is softer and more affectionate than anyone else. ”

"Yes! The old man asserted a long time ago that once a girl like Lord Xiao fell in love with you, she would pay for you with all her heart. The reason why she left at this time is to let you go and consolidate your absolute supremacy in Xishan. Now that you've done it, you can be regarded as living up to her. He Bo also sighed softly, "It's just that her life experience and experience are too bumpy and complicated, and she has also borne too many hardships and responsibilities on her shoulders that shouldn't belong to her." The pain and depression in her heart are even less understood. Young master, have you ever thought that you need her very much now; Actually, she needs you more? ”

Chu Tianya couldn't help but tremble slightly, and looked sideways at Uncle He, "Old man, do you know where she is?" ”

Uncle He shook his head, "If I knew that I had brought her here a long time ago, would I still use the young master's tongue to ask?" How to say that she is also a closed disciple of the old man, and it is simply a big rebellion to abandon the teacher without saying goodbye to her. I've got to get her back and teach her a lesson! ”

Chu Tianya smiled bitterly, "Although I promised Bai Xu not to look for her for the time being, I didn't hold back. A few days ago, I sent Xiaofei to take some people down the mountain secretly to search for her whereabouts. Today, Xiaofei returned to the mountain to report to me, but found nothing. I was depressed for a while, so I came here to relax. ”

"Young Master, you don't have to be depressed. It's yours after all, it's yours, and you can't escape. He said.

Chu Tianya nodded lightly, "In addition to deep love and longing, I also have guilt and pity for her. I want her to be by my side now, and let me do my duty as a husband to take good care of her. In the past, when I was just a prison city official, I had nothing but dared to do anything, and that was because I could afford to lose; Now that I have become a master and father-in-law, the reality of the environment forces me to think about it more. This is actually in response to the old man's words, I am inevitably bound by those bullshit. It's my foresight that has failed the flying fox! ”

"Lord Xiao is a rare good woman." Uncle He's eyes were shining, "Young Master, you are also a mortal born by your father and mother, you will make mistakes and get lost, this is normal, not to mention that you are still so young." Not making a single mistake when you're young is simply abnormal, it's not a big deal. Now that you know you are wrong, repent and make amends. How can happiness in your hands let it slip away? Don't wait until it's irretrievable! ”

Chu Tianya couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and his eyebrows also raised, "Calculate the route and footsteps, if Xiao Jun mainly goes to the Western Regions, he can only take the Western Xia Kingdom." Since the major event here in Qixingzhai has been decided, I will immediately send a letter to Meng De, asking him to chase back Lord Xiao to me at any cost, even if it is to send troops to the border of the Western Xia Kingdom to demonstrate! -- Tomorrow, I will personally go down the mountain to Taiyuan Mansion and ask Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan, to send an envoy to the Western Xia Kingdom to negotiate, and let the Western Xia Kingdom help us find the Lord of Xiao County! ”

"That's what the big man did!" He Bo suddenly smiled, "It is the right thing to get her back to marry immediately, and give birth to a few big fat sons to inherit the lineage!" Starting a family, starting a family is still ahead! If you can't even take care of your wife and son, what kind of ambition can you talk about? ”

"Okay, I'll do it right away!" Chu Tianya took a deep breath and spit out heavily, and said with a smile, "Actually, this matter has been thinking about this matter in my heart for a long time, even if the old man doesn't come to me today, I will start to implement it." Not for anything else, just because I already have absolute power in Xishan now, and I can say anything! Even if I want to do something for personal gain, it is not the turn of others to pick and choose! ”

"Excellent! This is the courage and courage that a hero in troubled times should have! sacrificing oneself to serve the public is the work of a hero like Wang Yu. But most of the heroes have a bad fate and a miserable ending, and they will have to pay a painful price at any time. Born in troubled times, it's better to be real. He Bo was suddenly overjoyed, patted Chu Tianya's arm with a bright smile, and said gently: "Young master, others only see your soaring and radiant glory, and few people can pay attention to the pressure on your body and the pain in your heart. However, even the eagle soaring in the sky has difficulties when it breaks out of its shell and helplessness when it is waiting to be fed. Therefore, there is no need to be annoyed and regretted for past mistakes. It is enough to be yourself today so that you will have no regrets tomorrow. ”

In Chu Tianya's heart, a warm current of déjà vu passed slowly. How many years have passed in the past and present lives, and few people have given him this familiar feeling—that is the taste of fatherly love.

"Thank you, old man." Chu Tianya stared at Uncle He, and the few words came from the bottom of his heart.

"Why do we have to say thank you between the two of us?" He Bo grinned and held Chu Tianya's arm tightly, "Whether you are a prison city official or the lord of ten thousand people, I, a bad old man, will always accompany you." As long as I can move, I won't let you get hurt, I won't let your family get hurt. Young master, there can be countless women around you in the future, but only Lord Xiao is the other half who really belongs to you. Life is a lifetime of grass and trees, and there are not many that are really worthy of men to cherish and protect with their lives. But Lord Xiao, she's worth anything you can do for her! ”

"Good! Tomorrow morning, I will personally descend the mountain - and let the West Mountain prepare for the army! "Chu Tianya cut the railway.

"Good, good." He Bo nodded and smiled with satisfaction, but as if his face had changed, his expression suddenly became strange and obscene, and he smiled hehehe, "Young master, today's pair of men and women is a little interesting!" ”

Chu Tianya couldn't help laughing, "What do you say?" ”

"They're not coming from an unknown place and behaving badly, which is weird enough. In addition, the woman who was tied by the barbaric bearded woman with an iron chain was actually a nobleman of the Jurchen Wanyan clan. Do you think that's interesting? He Bodao.

"Oh, that slave girl is from the Wanyan clan?" Chu Tianya did feel surprised.

The old man made a special inquiry, and the barbaric bearded girl said this: she was from the Xi tribe, and when she was very young, her tribe was defeated and enslaved by the Jurchens, and all her family members had already died in the war. Now she was chained to the daughter of her master's family, and she used to beat and scold her to the best of her ability. Later, Hu Nu fled into the deep mountains and was taken in by the masters, and practiced the ability to control the beast with a hand, so she asked his senior brother to be a helper and went back to take revenge together, killed everyone in the master's family and then fled to the rivers and lakes, and also arrested the daughter who bullied her and abused her for revenge. "It sounds like it's full of twists and turns. Master, do you believe it? ”

"Believe it or not, it won't change my doubts about their identity." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Bai Xu has already exchanged opinions with me, and we all have such a guess - these two people may be the spies of the Jin State under Wanyan Zonghan!" ”

"Well, the old man only glanced at them, and he had such a conjecture." He Bo smiled, "Winter is coming, and the Jin soldiers will inevitably attack again." It is very likely that Wanyan Zonghan sent Xizuo to spy on the news and sabotage at this time. Therefore, it is better for us to act on the opportunity and plan accordingly. Pretend to trust and reuse them, and then let them send some false news to Wan Yan Zonghan. ”

"It seems that the old man can't hide anything. To tell you the truth, Bai Xu and I also think exactly like this. Whether they are spies or not, we might as well give it a try. Chu Tianya smiled, "So, in order to implement this plan, I really should be close to them?" ”

"Uh-huh, yes, of course." Uncle He nodded solemnly, "If necessary, even if the young master sacrifices a little hue, it is forgivable!" ”
