Late at night, it rained.

When Chu Tianya was sleeping with Xiao Linglong embracing each other, he rode to the west, braved the wind and rain, thundered and lightning, and ran directly into the Wutong Yuan camp.

The person who came was holding the Qingwei token, and no one dared to stop it, and he didn't stop until Chu Tianya's place of stay. It was Xuanwu and Gou Chen who were on duty, and they couldn't help but be slightly shocked when they greeted the person they didn't know, "The old man sent you?" ”

"Back to the two envoys, the last one was sent by the old man to send a private urgent letter to the lord!" The envoy took out a letter from his bosom that was firmly wrapped in oiled paper and handed it over, "Please two envoys, please present it to the lord as much as possible!" ”

Xuanwu took the letter and examined it carefully, and there was neither a hidden weapon nor a poison; Gou Chen checked the token to be made, and there was no problem.

"It seems that there is a big event in Luoyang, and the old man has taken action." Xuanwu frowned, "But now the lord has fallen asleep......"

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Linglong's voice came from inside, "The lord has an order, and the letter is submitted." ”

Xuanwu agreed, waited for a while, and walked in.

Chu Tianya was still lying down, Xiao Linglong got up neatly dressed, took the letter and opened the oil paper and was about to hand it to Chu Tianya, but unexpectedly a few petals of camellia fell out of the letter.

Xiao Linglong was slightly stunned, bent down and picked up the camellias, sniffed lightly, looked closely, and her face changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Chu Tianya sat up, "Give me the letter." ”

Xiao Linglong mechanically handed over the letter, still looking at the two camellia flowers in a daze.

Chu Tianya was surprised, and when he read the letter, he immediately understood.

It turned out that it was Ju'er Khan Yelu Dashi of the Liao State in the Western Regions who united with Li Qianshun, the king of Western Xia, and sent an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty together, and is now detained in Luoyang.

It stands to reason that the two countries have diplomatic relations, and the envoy should go directly to Tokyo, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty. However, after these two groups of envoys entered the customs, they all stayed in Luoyang and did not leave. Their intentions were very clear—they were here to see Chu Tianya.

Originally, this matter had little to do with Xiao Linglong. However, the mission sent by the Liao State in the Western Regions is a very special person, she is the wife of Yelu Dashi, the king of the Western Liao State, Xiao Linglong's sister, Xiao Ta is not a smoker!

It is not known what the intentions of the envoys of the two countries were, but it can be seen that they have been tight-lipped when they arrived in Luoyang and have not told anyone about it. This matter should have been reported to Chu Tianya by Bai Xu, the military advisor who led Luoyang; But now, it was He Bo who secretly sent someone to report the news, and the meaning was even more complicated.

"Flying Fox, what are you thinking?" Chu Tianya asked.

The room was very quiet, and Xiao Linglong, who was stunned, was so shocked that she flicked it, and her face was a little strange, "No...... What the. ”

Chu Tianya smiled slightly, put the letter aside, and patted the bed beside him, "Come, sit down." ”

Xiao Linglong walked over with an unnatural expression and sat down quietly.

Chu Tianya stretched out his arm to hold her fragrant shoulder, and said in a relaxed manner: "The intentions and intentions of the envoys of Western Liao and Western Xia are actually obvious. The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, they wanted to unite with me and launch a counterattack on the Jin Kingdom together. Yelu Dashi hates Jin Jin's bones and is determined to restore the country, which is something that everyone in the world knows; The Western Xia Kingdom was forced by the pressure of the Jin people not long before that, and became their vassal state, and also helped the Jin people for the tiger, harassed the western border of the Great Song Dynasty, plundered the city, killed people and animals, and committed evil deeds not much worse than the Jin people. Seeing that the Jin people lost their position, they turned against each other again, quickly showed favor to our Great Song Dynasty, and declared war on Jin - Western Xia Kingdom, interesting! ”

Xiao Linglong listened quietly without interjecting a word, and nodded lightly after listening, "You have a point." ”

Chu Tianya smiled, "The envoys of the two countries stayed in Luoyang and didn't leave, they must be waiting for me to see them in person." Why don't you go back to Luoyang with me? ”

Xiao Linglong trembled and looked at Chu Tianya, "You want to go back to Luoyang?" ”

"Hmm." Chu Tianya nodded affirmatively, "Since the old man has sent secret envoys to talk about things, it must be extraordinary." The envoys of the two countries were not so much here as an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty as they came to conspire with me to deal with the Jin Kingdom. There are many people here in Ochikuhara, and there are many things that remain unchanged when you enter Tokyo. So they deliberately stayed in Luoyang, and they were waiting for me on a special trip - Wutong here has decided on a major matter, and only the soldiers and horses are left to repair. Come with me and take a trip to Luoyang! ”

"The end of the world......" Xiao Linglong called softly, and stopped talking.

"If you have something to say, say it."

Xiao Linglong took a deep breath, "Xiliao Ju'er Khan specially sent my sister to be an envoy, the intention is obvious, it is nothing more than to figure out the relationship between Guò and me, and make it easier for you to do something." Of course, I miss my sister, but ...... I don't want to put you in a dilemma because of me. So, I'm not going to Luoyang, right? As for meeting my sister, in the future, I will have another chance. ”

"Huh!" Chu Tianya smiled, "Xiliao Ju'er Khan? You don't even want to mention his name because you still can't face that old thing? Are you afraid that when you meet your sister, you will be embarrassed, you will remember the past, and you will be in a dilemma? ”

"Nope! No! No! Xiao Linglong jumped up and said eagerly, "Tianya, I am already your person!" Physically and mentally, I am yours! ”

"And what are you afraid of?" Chu Tianya smiled faintly, beckoned to her to sit beside her, and said softly, "There are some things, the more you escape, the more entangled; The courage to face it to solve it is actually not a matter at all. Since you are already my woman, marry a chicken and a dog with a dog, your business is my business; In the same way, you have the right to participate in my affairs. ”

"I ...... I'm worried about you, affected by my old things. Xiao Linglong rarely stumbled in front of Chu Tianya like now, and her face turned red with embarrassment, "Tianya, you believe me!" Although I have not forgotten my homeland and kinship, I ...... Yelu Dashi, he really doesn't have a place in my heart anymore! And if he did, it was only because he killed my father! ”

"I believe in you." Chu Tianya responded with a smile, "Let me tell you this, since the envoys of Western Liao and Western Xia chose to send an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty in such a special period, they must have a very important purpose. My guess is that most of them are staring at the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed north of the Yellow River by Wanyan Zonghan, and the vast territory west of Taiyuan Mansion and even Taihang. This will be a very important secret meeting, which is very likely to affect the overall pattern of the next few decades, and will affect the fate and survival of the Great Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom, the Western Xia and Western Liao, and even more countries and tribes - how can I not be there at such an important moment; The woman I love the most, how can she not be with me? ”

Xiao Linglong's whole body trembled slightly, and she snuggled into Chu Tianya's arms.

Silent for a long time.

"Tianya, one day, will you fight with Xiliao?" Xiao Linglong asked in a low voice.

"I don't know." Chu Tianya replied truthfully, "The competition of interests and changes in positions between states are changing rapidly, and they are not subject to anyone's will. I'm just a person who can't extricate myself from the game. ”

"Then what if, if there is a real battle?"

"Fight."

Xiao Linglong was silent and took a deep breath.

"I know that the Western Liao Kingdom is the last dignity of the Khitan people. Yelu Dashi was a miraculous man, he only used hundreds of horsemen to fight into the Western Regions, and actually established a new Liao State. Chu Tianya said with interest, "Although there are not many real Khitan people there, it continues the national glory of the Liao State after all, and it is a hope in the hearts of all Khitan people." ”

Xiao Linglong nodded lightly, "I admit that when I learned that Yelu Dashi had rebuilt the Liao Kingdom in the Western Regions, I, a slave who had fallen to the country, was very happy and moved. As you said, that's the hope in everyone's heart...... People live and hope is important. ”

"Yes. If there is no hope, people will not survive, or live like the walking dead. Chu Tianya sighed lightly, "Flying Fox, I know what you think in your heart. What you fear most is that your man and the hope in your heart are fighting to the death, right? ”

Xiao Linglong nodded and hugged Chu Tianya tightly.

Chu Tianya patted her on the back, "Xiliao is far away in the interior of the Western Regions, and there is a Western Xia Kingdom in the middle. Don't worry, I won't be able to fight him that easily. ”

"If there is a real fight...... You have to win! ”

After Xiao Linglong said this, she hugged Chu Tianya and cried.

Chu Tianya sighed lightly, hugged her tightly, and did not answer. Because he knows that at this moment...... Any answer will be like a knife into Xiao Linglong's heart.

At dawn the next day, Chu Tianya took Qingwei and Anu and more than 100 tigers, left Wutong Plains and rushed to Luoyang. The instructions to Cao Cheng and others were to go and do some private things, even if they came back in three or two days; Before leaving, Chu Tianya handed over the military power to Jiao Wentong, and because he was injured, Yue Fei and Cao Cheng were in charge, and Jiao Wentong decided the major matters.

After the polishing of Tongguò during this time, the 200,000 righteous army in Wutong Yuan has basically become a whole "Chu Family Army". If a heavy war does not break out, he can operate normally in an orderly manner, which Chu Tianya is very relieved of. The imperial court has been urging Chu Tianya to enter the court, but he is not in a hurry. There are some things that have to be dealt with before entering the court, for example, the current alliance with the two kingdoms of Liaoxia. If there is the intervention of the Great Song Dynasty, it will not be so convenient to do things.

Chu Tianya and his entourage of more than 100 people, all of them were good horses, and they quickly arrived in Luoyang day and night. In order to facilitate their actions, they deliberately chose to open the city gate in the middle of the night and entered Luoyang in hiding.

Liu Ziyu, the deputy military division, stayed in Jiyuan to supervise the army, and Bai Xu and Meng De were in charge of Luoyang. Chu Tianya had just entered his mansion and had no time to sit down, so he sent someone to summon Meng Bai and the others.

He Bo had already lazily waited for Chu Tianya.

"Old man, I'm back." Chu Tianya sat beside Uncle He, smiled a little tiredly, and took a long breath.

I didn't see each other for a few days, and during the period, there was a big battle like Wutong Yuan, Chu Tianya and He Bo, who were like father and son, looked at each other and smiled, and the calf protection and filial piety were all in silence.

He Bo squinted his eyes and looked Chu Tianya up and down a few times, neither shouting nor talking too much nonsense, and said directly: "Yelu Xiao'er of Liao State has sent his mother-in-law to be a messenger. His intention is nothing more than to get on with some personal connections and make it convenient for you - why did you deliberately bring Lord Xiao back with you? ”

Nowadays, there is no idler around, so Uncle He has something to say.

Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "I have trust in her, and she will definitely be towards me." Having said that, if Yelu dares to make up his mind and find convenience from a woman's side, can't I? ”

"Will it be calculated?"

"Not really."

One old and one young, one wolf and one wolf, laughed out loud together.

"This matter should be done quickly, not slowly." "The old man knows that you have all kinds of things to do in Tokyo. But it doesn't add up to the current thing. Therefore, I have sent an envoy to inform you. ”

"The old man is wise." Chu Tianya said, "On the surface, although it is very common for envoys from the two countries to visit; In fact, the current meeting is very likely to have a bearing on the rise and fall of several countries and the national fortunes of a century. I understood the stakes in this, so I came day and night without regard to the fact that the envoys of the two countries were there? ”

"There's no hurry." He Bo raised his hand, "In the past two days, Bai Xu and Meng De have been accompanying the envoys of the two countries. Presumably, the two of them have learned a lot of inside information. Consult with them before you go to the messenger. ”

"Okay."

A good word from Chu Tianya was just finished, and Meng De stepped into Chu Tianya's house with one foot, and said in a voice like thunder, "Brother!" ”

Bai Xu smiled gracefully behind him, "Seventh brother, everyone is watching, you have to be called 'lord'." ”

Meng De was stunned, and immediately slapped himself in the mouth, "Lord, subordinate Meng De is ordered to come!" ”

Chu Tianya had already walked out, looking at the two of them with a spring breeze on his face, "Seventh brother, Jingqian, don't come to harm!" ―Brother Seven, you still call me brother! In this world, you are the only one who calls me that, where can I change it? ”

Meng De strode forward and gave Chu Tianya a sturdy bear hug, "Brother, fortunately you are safe and sound, I want to annoy my brother!" ――The news of the First Battle of Wutong Plains came, and your seventh brother was happy for three days and three nights without sleeping!! ”
