Xiao Linglong suddenly made this decision, which surprised Chu Tianya. He smiled and asked, "Why did Lord Xiao go?" ”

"There are three reasons for this." Xiao Linglong seemed to have thought about it a long time ago, and replied, "First, my eldest brother ordered me to protect you, this is my duty. Whether you want it or not, I will fulfill it. This trip to Xishan is unpredictable, in case you have any mistakes, how can I explain to my eldest brother? ”

Chu Tianya smiled: "Forget this reason. I'm going to be a guest, not a war book. Besides, if I want to be protective, I can ask Uncle He to accompany me. ”

"That's what you think; A duty is a duty, and I have to fulfill it. Xiao Linglong said in a routine tone, "Second, the eldest brother Tuoada sent me a letter back, saying that among the heroes of the eighteen villages in Xishan, many of them used to be Liao. Among them, there are several leaders who were once generals in the army of our Great Liao State. I persuade them as the lord of Liao, and the chances of success will be greatly increased. ”

He Bo nodded again and again, "Girl, this idea is good." Young master, let her go with you! ”

Without waiting for Chu Tianya to answer, Xiao Linglong said again: "The third reason is that the Jurchens have a hatred for me to destroy the country and destroy the clan, and it is my duty to unite to fight against Jin." If I can gather the heroes of the eighteen villages in Xishan together, I can fight against my enemy Jurchens. And if I have the opportunity, I also hope to unite a group of forces to help me recover the Liao Kingdom! ”

"Recover Liao?" Chu Tianya and He Bo were both slightly stunned.

"That's right." Xiao Linglong said, "Ming people don't do dark things, and I also said this to my eldest brother." I drifted through the rivers and lakes and endured all the hardships, just to seek the help of strength, hoping to recover the Liao Kingdom. Although the chances of success in this matter are slim, I will never give up! ”

Chu Tianya and He Bo were speechless for a while.

Xiao Linglong looked at them left and right, and said, "Chu Tianya, as you said—no matter what I do, I have my own purpose and motives, not all to help you or fulfill my eldest brother's orders. Now we have a common enemy, so we can work together. ”

"That's true, and it's very convincing." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Okay, since we have a common purpose, then please ask County Lord Xiao to go to Xishan with me." However, there is an ugly remark that I would like to say ahead. ”

"Say."

Chu Tianya said: "From now on, no matter what purpose you have or what you want to do, please don't be an enemy of the Great Song Dynasty." This is my bottom line, so I'll explain it to you first. ”

"What if I accidentally cross your line?" Xiao Linglong's sword eyebrows raised slightly, and she looked at Chu Tianya fixedly.

Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "I will not hesitate to be your enemy, just like I would treat the Jurchen bandits who are about to invade." ”

Uncle He's face changed slightly, "Why does the young master say such a ruthless thing, it's not good to hurt the harmony!" ”

"Uncle Ho, there's nothing wrong with that. Ming people don't do dark things, and everyone can do things in the future. Xiao Linglong was not angry, and said, "I know your bottom line." Then, I will also talk about my principles - no matter what you do, if you dare to hinder me from recovering Liao, I will definitely kill you without hesitation! ”

"Haha, good, good. Let's have a clear price and a fair deal. Chu Tianya said with a smile, "If you don't say it, you can't say it thoroughly, and you can't explain it clearly." In the future, we will behave and do things, and we will also have a criterion in our hearts - please, Lord Xiao, in order to wish us a happy cooperation, Fuxing Inn will go for a while! ”

"Oh, you two, really! ......" Uncle He shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, "I really answered that sentence, it's not that the enemies don't get together!" - Let's go, let's go, let's eat! ”

The three of them left home and went to the Fuxing Inn. Chu Tianya called an Accord and ordered a meal, and then came to the Chenzi guest room alone to find Xiaofei.

Chu Tianya patted the door, and he could hear Xiao Fei shouting inside: "Who, it's the middle of the night!" ”

"Where is it in the middle of the night?" Chu Tianya smiled, "It's me, Chu Tianya!" ”

"Hey, the big official Chu is here! …… You, get dressed and get out! Xiao Fei shouted hastily in the back room.

Chu Tianya was amused when he heard it. After a while, the door was opened. There was a young woman with disheveled sideburns and disheveled sideburns, who hurriedly dodged out of the room and hurried away.

Chu Tianya entered the room, and saw that Xiao Fei was still there hurriedly dressing and making the bed, so he smiled and said, "Dare to love your injuries have healed?" I'm sorry, it's a good thing to break you! ”

"Hey, hey, hey!" Xiao Fei rubbed his hands and smiled awkwardly, "I've been recuperating for a few days, and I feel better...... I called a little prostitute to try it, which made the big officials of Chu laugh - the big officials came to look for the little ones, but decided to go to Qingyun Village? ”

"That's right." Chu Tianya said, "After the city gate opens early tomorrow morning, we will go out of the city to Qingyun Village." ”

"Great!" Xiao Fei was pleasantly surprised, "Big brother and Mrs. must be overjoyed!" ”

"Then tomorrow at the beginning of the hour, you will come to my house on time, and you will set off together."

"Okay!"

Once it was agreed, Chu Tianya returned to Accord. After the three of them finished eating, Xiao Linglong called Ada and Anu again, and the group returned to Chu Tianya's house together.

At dawn the next day, Chu Tianya got up early in the morning. When he opened the door, he saw He Bo and Xiao Linglong getting up earlier than him, standing under the osmanthus tree, as if whispering something.

Chu Tianya didn't interrupt them, and waited until they finished speaking before coming out.

He Bo greeted him and said with a smile: "The young master has just seen it, right?" ”

"I saw it, but I didn't hear anything." Chu Tianya smiled, "Does Uncle He have anything to guide me?" ”

"This trip is meaningful." He Bo's rare expression was stern, and he said to Chu Tianya, "The eighteen village thieves in the West Mountain, among which the good and the bad are uneven. There are heroes who really value love and righteousness, and there are also greedy and shameless despicable villains. Eighteen villages, with a total of 30,000 or 40,000 people, are a force that cannot be underestimated. At first, if you can ask the Lord of Seven Star Village to help, you can have more chances of winning. Right now...... Young master, the old man only tells you one thing. This matter can be done; If not, retreat. ”

"I see." Chu Tianya nodded with a smile, "Is Uncle He willing to go with me?" ”

"I'm not going." He Bo shook his head and said, "The old man has gone, that is, many thugs. The young master's trip is to mediate peace talks, not to seek revenge, and it is useless for the old man to go with him. Therefore, the young master must not make secondary things there. is a thief, but he is used to killing people and setting fires, and he is ruthless. ”

Chu Tianya nodded and said no more. The old man is very thoughtful, and he has his own reasons for deciding this, and it is useless to force it.

After a little breakfast, Uncle He went out and hired two donkey carts for a long journey. Soon Xiaofei also came, and a group of five people took two donkey carts, and then went out of Taiyuan City, looking at the West Mountain.

Xishan is located in the southwest of Taiyuan City, and dozens of miles out of the city is the boundary of Xishan. This mountain boundary belongs to the Luliang mountain system, according to legend, it is the dragon vein of Taiyuan, lush and green for dozens of miles, the vigorous ancient pine is like a cloud umbrella cover, but the scenery is pleasant. There are also many historical monuments such as Taoist temples, pagodas and murals. In the past, when there were no bandits, it was still a famous tourist destination.

Along the way, Chu Tianya and Xiao Fei took a car and asked him a lot about Xishan. Xishan is actually a huge mountain range, including several main mountains such as Yanshi Mountain, Horiwei Mountain, Mengshan Mountain, Hanging Urn Mountain and Tianlong Mountain, as well as countless small mountains. And Qingyun Village used to be called Qingyun Castle, which is located in the depths of Tianlong Mountain. In the past, it used to be a military fort, and over the years, the walls of the city have been strengthened, and now it has expanded several times, covering an area of nearly 1,000 acres. Among them, there are more than 3,000 households, and there are 7,800 strong men and brave minions, and the armor is vigorous. Although Qingyun Village is not as large as the scale of the Hanging Urn Mountain Monk Cave Daya Village, the land here is fertile and the spring water is clear, and the climate is also suitable for the four seasons, so people and animals are prosperous. Moreover, this has always been the strongest fortress in Xishan, and even the officers and soldiers did not dare to attack lightly.

Therefore, the powerful Monk Cave has always coveted Qingyunzhai, a natural fortress and a good place for breeding and breeding, and always wants to occupy and rob it. The possession of the stockade has always been the core of the contention between the two factions.

Chu Tianya secretly marveled when he heard it, and the so-called "cottages" he had the impression of seemed to be shabby villages made of grass, wood, and tiles. Now it sounds like this Qingyun Village is a city hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, no wonder it has stood for so many years, and it has never been killed by officers and soldiers.

After parking and leaving the city, he didn't walk fast, and he didn't arrive at the foot of the West Mountain until late in the evening. The handle of rushing here to catch the car did not drive away again, saying that it was a thief who was afraid of killing his life. Chu Tianya and the others got out of the car, let Xiaofei lead the way, and walked into Tianlong Mountain on foot.

At this time, it was already getting dark, and Xiao Fei said that he should speed up his footsteps, otherwise he would have to sleep in this mountain forest tonight, because poisonous insects and beasts are not easy to provoke.

The group trekked hard, and when they crossed a hillside, Xiao Fei breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the mountains in the vast night in front of them, and said: "After that mountain, there is a big col, which is our Qingyun Castle!" ”

Chu Tianya couldn't help but smile bitterly: "As the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse, how far is it?" ”

"Hehe, there are probably seven or eight miles of mountain roads, it's coming, it's coming!" Xiao Fei was smiling and saying, suddenly there was a fire in front of him, and there was a roar!

"What's going on?" Everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

Xiao Fei's face suddenly turned a little white, "It's broken!" It can't be some birdmen from the Monk's Cave, who are here to attack our Qingyun Castle at night, right?! ”

As soon as the words fell, the sound of shouting and killing in the distance came one after another. I can't really hear it, but I can be sure that there is indeed a fierce battle going on in that direction!

"Whew, what a fight!" Xiao Fei patted his thigh and exclaimed, "How is this good!" - Do you really want to kill the birdmen in the monk's cave?! ”

"Don't panic!" Chu Tianya snorted and said, "Didn't you say that your Qingyun Castle has always been the strongest, and I'm afraid that it won't be able to defeat it for a while." Let's go forward and see if we can persuade the two families to quit? ”

"Strike? - Ouch, that's easier said than done! Xiao Fei said with a sad face, "About thirty years ago, our old village owner took a group of brothers and snatched Qingyun Castle as his own territory. Now, Zhang Duyan, the great leader of the Monk Cave, was once the descendant of the old Qingyun Castle Lord, and his family was killed by our old village master, and he also lost an eye in the chaos at that time. Since then, the two factions have been bitter and bitter, and if they don't fight until one side completely falls, how can they stop? ”

Chu Tianya's eyebrows were locked and he pondered for a long time, and Xiao Linglong said: "It's useless to worry here, it's better to go forward and take a look first." Didn't you say that the monk cave has been sending Ma Kuo to attack Qingyun Village recently? If the leader is Ma Kuo, at least he can be temporarily dissuaded. For the rest, find a way! ”

"That makes sense—go!" Chu Tianya waved his hand, and the group trotted up, looking at Qingyun Village and leaving!

After running for less than two or three miles, Chu Tianya and the others stopped at the same time - "There is an ambush!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sharp whistling sound that broke through the air - a row of sharp arrows was shot head-on! .
