Bai Xu laughed on the spot: "Then according to what Mr. has seen, is my father-in-law deceiving the world and stealing his name, and his name is not true?" ”

"Why do you want to play with me?" Yelu Yanchen was very indifferent, stroked his hair and smiled, "The decrepit decision is already the answer, so why bother to say more?" ”

"A talent like Mr. does need to be done with caution. Otherwise, it would be a pity if the pearl was secretly invested. Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Wanyan Zonghan doesn't know Mr. Talent, so he will let Mr. succumb to the position of joining the army in the bookkeeper's room." ”

"Humph! That old thief, even if he knew my true identity, I would not have made a knife or an arrow for him, let alone a firearm! Yelu Yanchen said angrily, "Does the old man still think that he has not killed enough of my people and committed not enough crimes?" ”

"Mr. really understands the righteousness, Xiaosheng admires it!" Bai Xu bowed his hand and said, "But Xiaosheng is very curious. Why did the gentleman just glance at the lord and gladly agreed? ”

"Haha!" Yelu Yanchen laughed, "I don't dare to boast." The old man has been in the workshop for most of his life, perhaps because these eyes have stared at the nuanced things too much, so that he has a little bit of his own opinion when looking at people. In a word, the general is the master who is worthy of the devastating devotion of his life! God is pitiful, the old man has been living in vain for more than 60 years, but he only met the master when he was in his last years! - The lord is above, please bow down to the old decay! ”

Yelu Yanchen really fell to the ground at once.

Chu Tianya hurriedly held him up, "Mr. is serious!" Isn't this kind of gift meant to torment the younger generation? Hurry up, please! ”

"The lord and the minister are qualified, and there is a world of difference. Decayed, as it should be! After Yelu Yanchen got up, he bowed and said, "In the future, the old man will completely entrust the rest of his life to the lord!" I hope that God will bless me to live a few more years to serve the Lord! ”

"Good, good, great." Chu Tianya held Yelu Yanchen's hand, his heart was indeed very excited, and he turned his head to Bai Xu and said, "Jingqian, you have made another great achievement!" Recommending Mr. Yelu is far greater than winning ten cities! How can I reward you? ”

Yelu Yanchen and Bai Xu both laughed loudly, and Bai Xu said; "My lord, Xiaosheng has to be entrusted to his henchmen by the lord and entrusted with the heavy responsibility of the military aircraft, and it is also my duty to be virtuous and capable. What's more, the lord is the master, and the gentleman is a virtuous person, just like King Zhou Wen and Jiang Taigong back then. Even if there is no recommendation from Xiaosheng, you will be able to meet sooner or later. Xiaosheng, don't be greedy for this work. ”

"Haha!" Chu Tianya laughed in a good mood, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and set up a banquet for Mr." ”

"No, my lord." Yelu Yanchen hurriedly waved his hand, the situation was like asking the eldest girl to get on the sedan chair, and he was a little embarrassed, he said, "The old man has never liked such occasions, and the banquet is really unnecessary." All I want now is a quiet room, one or two children who are waiting for my daily life, and then I have enough materials and equipment to continue to study what I am passionate about all my life, and that is the best reward and encouragement for me! ”

"Okay, it's not hard." Chu Tianya nodded and smiled, "From now on, the entire Tianji Palace will be yours." It used to be the residence of Xue Yu, the king of the Seven Star Village, and now he has moved to Qingyun Castle. I turned it into a gunpowder factory. From then on, Mr. was one of the big leaders in the Seven Star Village, and Tianji Palace was Mr.'s territory. No one can disturb you without my permission and the call of the gentleman. In addition, I will give you enough manpower and materials to provide you with as convenient as possible, so that Mr. can enjoy the happiness that belongs to Mr. in his lifetime! ”

"Thank you, lord!" Yelu Yanchen fell down again with gratitude.

Chu Tianya helped him up for the third time and said with a smile: "Sir, sooner or later, if I have time, I will go to Tianji Palace to discuss with Mr. about gunpowder." Sir may not know, although I don't know how to learn, but in my early years, I was taught by strangers, and I once learned some about gunpowder. And I have a strong interest in this area. If you don't give up, sir, think of me as your student! ”

"How dare you be old!" Yelu Yanchen hurriedly took two steps back and bowed his hand, "If the lord is interested, he can come to teach at any time, and the old man must know everything and say everything!" ”

"Okay, that's it!" Chu Tianya laughed, "Jingqian, Mr. Yelu's qiē, I will leave it to you to arrange." In short, a principle, as long as we can give it, we must do everything possible to give it to him! ”

"Don't worry, my lord. Xiaosheng also wants Mr. Yelu to accept me as a scoundrel! Apprentice, how dare you be disrespectful to the teacher? Bai Xu smiled and said, "Sir, if you need anything in the future, just tell Xiaosheng." Don't have any worries and be polite. Otherwise, the lord will not be able to spare me. ”

"Haha, okay!" Yelu Yanchen laughed heartily, and let out a long breath, quite a little bit of ambition and raised eyebrows, he said, "To be able to get the grace of the military division and the grace of the lord's acquaintance in his later years is the blessing of the old and decrepit! ”

Later, Chu Tianya and Bai Xu personally sent Yelu Yanchen to Tianji Palace. Although the craftsmen there were driven away, there were still some servants and maids, and they were all handed over to Yelu Yanchen. In addition, Chu Tianya also deliberately selected four capable and confidant Khitan warriors from his Tiger Ben guards and sent them to Yelu Yanchen as personal guards and followers. Yelu Yanchen was also very satisfied with Tianji Palace. Although the previous craftsmen did not contribute to the work, the "face project" was still done enough, and there was almost everything that Yelu Yanchen needed.

The rest of the matter is that Chu Tianya will consult with him, how to improve the power of gunpowder in the shortest possible time, and develop a new type of firearm!

On the same day, Chu Tianya and Bai Xu had a conversation with Yelu Yanchen in Tianji Palace, and they were still unsatisfied until late at night. By this time, Chu Tianya was already 100% sure that Yelu Yanchen, a hermit master, was the person he was looking for!

But it is not enough to have such a "chief engineer", after all, what Chu Tianya needs now is not one or two powerful firearms, but a real arsenal!

As a result, the work of recruiting craftsmen, apprentices, and workers fell on Bai Xu's shoulders. Chu Tianya asked him to temporarily hand over the work at hand to others to deal with, and to supervise this matter with all his might, and to recruit a reliable team from the people and the army in the shortest possible time, and surround Yelu Yanchen's side to serve him and learn from him.

When he went back to the residence of the Seven Star Hall at night, Chu Tianya felt as light as a swallow, and he didn't feel tired at all. Today's unexpected surprise really made him overjoyed. This is a big stone that has been pressed on my heart for a long time, and I will be removed at once.

But after calming down, Chu Tianya quietly thought back, Bai Xu must still have something to hide from him today. For example, since he had known about Yelu Yanchen's existence and movements, why did he find Yelu Yanchen today and reveal it to the lord? As a white person, he has never done any "confidential things" behind his father's back. What's more, he knew that the lord was in a hurry about the gunpowder workshop, so he didn't dare to hide it.

Chu Tianya pondered, it was possible that Bai Xu had just learned something about Yelu Yanchen after meeting Yelu Yanchen.

That is, he is lying. The so-called "Lord Xiao inadvertently said it when I was chatting with me before", that is just a deceitful nonsense!

"This kid is really getting bolder, how dare he lie to me?" Chu Tianya was not angry, but smiled heartily, adding a trace of joy in his heart, "Could it be that he still wants to give me another unexpected surprise?" ”

Before I knew it, I was back at my place. After the lord returned to the village, there was also a day and night guard of the Tiger Ben Army, and the commander on duty today was Anu.

"My lord." When Chu Tianya passed by Anu's side, he was happy but didn't see it, but Anu, who was usually taciturn, took the initiative to call him.

"Something?" Chu Tianya stopped and asked him. Looking at his expression, there was indeed something wrong, as if he had something to say.

"My lord, my subordinates have something to say." Anu was not polite, and after stroking his chest and bending down to bow down, he said bluntly.

"Say."

"The lord shouldn't have left that Jurchen woman in the room."

Chu Tianya was slightly stunned, of course he knew what Anu meant. Although Anu is now his henchman and the commander of the Tiger Army, he has never forgotten that he is the person of Lord Xiao. Now that Chu Tianya has taken in a woman who looks very similar to Xiao Linglong in his residence, it is impossible for Anu to be without ideas.

Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "You, can't you trust me?" ”

Anu was stunned, and hurriedly bent down to bow, "My subordinates don't dare!" ”

"Don't say anything dare or not. You just can't trust me, right? ”

Anu took a breath and nodded, "Yes." The lord is strong-blooded, and the woman has a bit of a look, and she ......"

"And it looks like Lord Xiao, doesn't he?" Chu Tianya smiled, "Anu, you really don't know me yet. After a long time, you won't have this kind of worry. I have my own reasons for this. I won't say much about the rest. ”

"The lord doesn't have to explain to his subordinates. The subordinate is a rough man, that is, he says whatever he thinks. One qiē, just for the good of the lord and the lord of Xiao County. Anu said.

Chu Tianya nodded, patted Anu's strong arm again, and walked into the room.

Wanyan Daike sat at the table in the living room, and when she saw Chu Tianya coming in, she hurriedly stood up and greeted her.

Chu Tianya smiled and said, "You should have heard the conversation between me and Anu just now, right?" ”

Wanyan Daike nodded indifferently, stepped forward to close the door, changed Chu Tianya's shoes again, made him tea again, and went into the room to make the bed. It's as if nothing had happened.

"I'm in a really good mood today. Go and order some food and drinks, and you can have two drinks with me. Chu Tianya sat at the table, but he didn't mean to go to sleep.

Wan Yan Daike nodded, and after going out for a while, he took a few side dishes and fruits and two pots of wine from the kitchen. Chu Tianya sat her down, poured wine and drank it.

"Do you know why I'm in such a good mood today?" Chu Tianya played with the wine glass in his hand, smiled meaningfully, and looked at Yan Daike.

Wanyan Daike sat upright, shaking her head gently without squinting.

"Because, I look like I'm about to find her." Chu Tianya said with a smile, and drank the entire glass of wine with his head up.

Wanyan Daike's whole body trembled, and he hesitantly stretched out his hand to pick up the wine glass, and drank the whole glass, but choked and coughed.

The Fenjiu of Qixingzhai was distilled by Chu Tianya, and it was relatively strong.

"Are you disappointed, or are you happy for me?" Chu Tianya quietly looked at Yan Daike and asked.

Wanyan Daike shook her head and nodded again.

"You're not disappointed, you're happy for me?"

Wanyan Daike nodded.

"Hypocrisy." Chu Tianya sneered, "If she comes back, you will become completely dispensable, and you will become a Huanyi woman of Qixingzhai, and you will not even stay here anymore." Have you ever thought about it? ”

Wanyan Daike nodded, her head lowered, and the tears were already on her eyelids.

"Don't cry. I'm in a very good mood today, don't spoil my spirit. Chu Tianya was deliberately speaking coldly.

Wanyan Daike raised his face, took a deep breath to hold back the tears that reached his eyes, smiled reluctantly, and raised his wine glass to toast Chu Tianya's wine.

"That's right." Chu Tianya smiled slightly, drank the entire cup again, and then said, "It's a pity that you can't speak." Otherwise, I'd like to know what you're thinking right now. ”

Wanyan Daike sat up straight, pointed to his eyes with his hand.

Chu Tianya looked into her eyes.

She was right. A person's expression can be disguised, words can deceive, but eyes alone cannot deceive people.

Chu Tianya read the complex emotions in this world from her eyes. There is sadness, loss, joy and relief, and more, there is an indescribable entanglement and confusion.

This kind of look only belongs to people who are out of love, and people who want to fall in love but can't.

At this moment, Chu Tianya's heart suddenly throbbed.

Could it be that this substitute for Xiao Linglong, a woman of unknown origin, who has been together for a short time, and who has been slighted and even humiliated by me in every way, is really in love with me?

But why?
