When he was young, a big feast was set up in this tent, a table of big fish and meat, and an urn of wine was placed next to each person in the big urn. Zhang Duyan said that since Xiao Linglong was the county lord and the leader of Qixing Mountain, she should sit at the table, and insisted that she sit side by side with him.

Chu Tianya and Ma Kuo sat down next to each other, watching Zhang One-eyed and offering affection to Xiao Linglong and constantly persuading Xiao Linglong to drink and eat, but Xiao Linglong just didn't love to drink and meat.

Ma Kuo said in a low voice: "Brother Chu, it is rare for Master Zhang Zhai to be so good-tempered. In the past, if anyone disobeyed him even the slightest, he would cut off his hands and feet, and cut off his tongue. But today, Lord Xiao didn't buy his face, but he still laughed as usual, which shows ......"

Chu Tianya waved his hand lightly to signal that he didn't have to say it, he knew it in his heart.

But Ma Kuo was still anxious, and said in a low voice: "I can see that my brother and this Lord Xiao seem to be ...... The relationship is not ordinary, you have to be careful! Zhang Zhai is a well-known hungry ghost who has to be served by three women every night. When he encounters a stunning beauty like Lord Xiao, he will have evil thoughts! ”

"I see." Chu Tianya replied lightly, and without saying much, he quietly observed Zhang Duyan.

At this time, Xiao Linglong seemed to be a little impatient, and when Zhang Duyan was about to pour her wine, she turned the wine glass upside down and pressed it on the table, and said, "Master Zhangzhai, I'm not here for the banquet, let's talk about business!" ”

Zhang Duyan held a wine jug and froze in the air, his expression was also frozen for half a minute, he smiled and put the wine jug down, "That's okay, Lord Xiao, let's talk about business!" ”

Xiao Linglong raised her hand and pointed at Chu Tianya, "Talk to him!" ”

Zhang Duyan raised his chin, squinted slightly with one eye and looked at Chu Tianya with disdain, muttering in his heart, Could it be that the relationship between Lord Xiao and this little white face is not ordinary?

"Brother Chu, right? I've heard your name for a long time. Zhang Duyan opened his mouth and said, "Now let's talk about your high theory!" - Seeing that I can conquer Qingyun Castle, why should I listen to you lobby to reconcile with them? ”

"It's very simple, kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. Wouldn't it be more cost-effective if you could take Qingyun Fort bloodlessly, and if you could completely receive the original Qingyun Castle's men and horses? Chu Tianya said, "I have a friendship with the Meng leader of Qingyun Castle. If the owner of Zhang Zhai is willing to reconcile, I am willing to enter the village to persuade. ”

"Oh?" Zhang one-eyed touched his chin, one one-eyed dripping turn, and suddenly grinned, "You scholar, it's really an understatement." Do you know how deep the hatred between my Monk Cave and Qingyun Castle is? ”

"No matter how deep this hatred is, it always originates from Zhang Zhai's own personal enmity, am I right?" Chu Tianya said, "I know that Qingyun Fort was originally the ancestral business of Lord Zhang Zhai, and there was once a bloody feud against the family. However, twenty or thirty years have passed, and the enemies of Zhang Zhai may have turned into loess. Now the owner of the village in Qingyun Castle is not the enemy of the year. The lord of Zhang Zhai just hated the house and Wu, and vowed to destroy everyone in Qingyun Castle because of his own personal enmity, and let your brothers in Guizhai fight hard for you to be born and die. Is this chivalrous? ”

As soon as Chu Tianya said this, the faces of everyone present changed. A cold killing intent appeared on Zhang One-eyed's face!

Ma Kuo hurriedly came out to relieve the siege and said: "Big brother, Brother Chu is a straight man and fast talking, big brother, don't blame it!" ”

"Hahaha!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Duyan suddenly laughed loudly, "What do I blame him for?" Over the years, only Brother Chu dared to tell such a big truth. That's right, when I was wiped out, how could I not repay such a blood feud? But most of the enemies are dead, and my blood feud is no longer declared. However, I must take back the ancestral business of Qingyun Castle! - Brother Chu is right, it is not chivalrous to let all the brothers die in vain for the sake of my one-eyed personal vendetta. So Brother Chu, is there a clever plan for me not to use my sword and take Qingyun Castle again? ”

When Chu Tianya heard this, he was immediately alert in his heart: This guy is so cunning! Just now, I deliberately said these taboo words to test his bottom line and personality. Just now, his fleeting face and eyes have already told me, he is obviously extremely angry and moved to kill me, but he can still laugh and talk so easily!

"There is a clever plan, but the owner of Zhang Zhai may not be willing to agree." Chu Tianya said.

Zhang Duyan smiled, "Why don't you talk about it first?" ”

"First of all, we have to ask the master of Zhang Zhai to withdraw his troops and no longer besiege Qingyunzhai to show the sincerity of reconciliation; Then Chu entered the village as a lobbyist, so that he could say that the owner of Qingyun Village came to reconcile. Chu Tianya said.

"No problem." Zhang Duyan said quite cheerfully, "If what you said makes sense, then after eating this wine, I can get up from the village and go back to the monk's cave!" ”

Chu Tianya nodded, "Secondly, Zhang Zhai will not be guilty of turning enemies into friends, and will no longer ask about the bloody feud of the year." ”

"Hmph......" Zhang Duyan sneered, "If you want me to do so much, shouldn't he Meng Laoqi also do something for me?" ”

"I will persuade the master of Meng Zhai to lead the people to join the master of Zhang Zhai and present the Qingyun Castle." Chu Tianya said, "From now on, the ancestral industry of Qingyun Fort has returned to the hands of the master of Zhang Zhai, and there are more cadres of Qingyun Fort under his command, which can reduce the casualties of his brothers." Isn't it more than one stone? ”

"Sounds good, but why should he, Meng Qilang, listen to you?" Zhang Duyan said.

"I have my own way." Chu Tianya said, "The last condition is that the owner of Zhang Zhai cannot drive out the original residents of Qingyun Castle, and he must also become brothers with the master of Meng Zhai to release his previous suspicions and turn enemies into friends, so as to appease the hearts of both sides." ”

"So, there are three conditions?" Zhang Duyan said, "First, I withdrew my troops, second, I no longer ask about personal enmity, and third, I became brothers with Meng Laoqi?" ——If these three conditions are met, Meng Laoqi will be attached to me, and Qingyun Castle will be able to return to me? ”

"That's right." Chu Tianya said, "Master Zhangzhai, there is no loss to you. Isn't it? ”

"It sounds like a bargain and a bargain." Zhang Duyan grinned at the corner of his mouth, stared at Chu Tianya with one eye slightly, and said word by word, "But why should I believe you?" What if you use a delaying tactic to help Qingyun Castle attack me? ”

"I vouch for the honor of Seven Star Mountain, he won't." Xiao Linglong said suddenly, "Besides, he entered the castle, and I stayed here as a hostage." Is the owner of Zhang Zhai so credible? ”

Zhang Duyan suddenly changed his face, and said with a smile: "What is Lord Xiao talking about, can I still trust the nobles of Qixing Mountain?" As the saying goes, the heart of defense is indispensable, and I have to be cautious for the sake of the lives of my brothers in the village! ”

"Hmph......" Xiao Linglong sneered and didn't talk to him.

"Ahem! ——" Zhang Duyan coughed dryly and said, "Brother Chu, since even the county lord Xiao is your guarantor, then I don't think it's hard to believe you." In fact, who really wants to fight all year round and shed blood every day? If I can resolve the grudge with Qingyun Castle and get back the ancestral business, I can't ask for it. I can agree to the three conditions you have proposed. However, I also have three conditions. ”

"The owner of the village, please speak." Chu Tianya said.

Zhang Duyan smiled slyly and said, "First, everyone from Qingyun Castle to Meng Laoqi is all subordinate to me, and from now on, they will think that I will be respected." I can swear with Meng Laoqi as brothers, and I promise not to pursue the blood feud of the year again. However, he can only be a leader under my seat, and he cannot be my equal. ”

Chu Tianya nodded, "I can't call the shots about this, I can only go and mention it to Lord Meng Zhai." You continue. ”

"Second, on the day of the peace talks, Qingyun Castle must first hand over all the weapons; The men and men of the whole fort asked the troops to come out empty-handed. Zhang Duyan said, "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable." What if Meng Laoqi came to surrender and suddenly launched a blow to me? Brother Chu, what do you say? ”

When Ma Kuo, Xiao Linglong and the others heard this, they all frowned. Chu Tianya's heart was even more nameless, and he couldn't wait to kill this cunning and ruthless Zhang One-eyed on the spot. But he finally held back, nodded and said, "I will also mention this condition to Lord Meng Zhai." ”

"As for the third condition...... Zhang Duyan touched his chin and smiled, suddenly turned his head to look at Xiao Linglong, and said, "I have a relationship with Qixing Mountain. In short, it's a family. After the unification of the eighteen villages in Xishan this time, I am willing to lead the people to join the Qixing Mountain and join forces to fight against the Jin soldiers. But only if—"

Zhang Duyan raised his head and pointed at Xiao Linglong, "Lord Xiao, she must marry me!" ”

"What?!" Ada and Anu roared angrily on the spot, and rushed to Zhang Duyan's side left and right.

Several leaders of the monk cave at the same table also reacted immediately, showed up all the weapons placed under the table, and protected Zhang Duyan together, pointing their weapons at Ada and Anu.

Chu Tianya's teeth clenched, and Ma Kuo's fists were clenched.

Xiao Linglong's eyes were even more like fire, and she was about to have a seizure.

The atmosphere of the scene is tense to the extreme, and it is about to erupt!

"Hahaha!" Zhang Duyan suddenly laughed loudly, "What are you doing?" Well?! - also said reconciliation, go all out to resist gold, look down on me so much, I can't believe me, then it's a fart! ”

After saying that, he suddenly slapped the wine table angrily, "Come on, beat the drums and fight!" At any cost, capture Qingyun Fort immediately! - Don't let this lobbyist and his friends from Qixing Mountain think that we don't have the ability to take the castle and flatten my monk's cave! ”

This time, Chu Tianya just sat quietly and stopped without saying a word. Because Zhang Duyan's conditions are really blatant and harsh - using Xiao Linglong marrying him as a threat!

Other conditions can be bargained, or after entering the village and discussing with the owner of Mengzhai, they will weigh and decide to adapt to the situation; Only in this matter, it is impossible for Chu Tianya to take the idea for Xiao Linglong!

Several cottage leaders rushed out with great momentum, beating drums and giving orders.

"Wait!" Xiao Linglong stood up suddenly.

"Stop!" Zhang Duyan suddenly drank the leaders with a happy face, turned his head to Xiao Linglong and said, "Lord Xiao, do you have anything to say?" ”

Xiao Linglong took a deep breath, turned her head to look at Zhang Duyan, who was a head taller than him and almost twice her size, and said word by word: "I can marry you." ”

"You're crazy!!" Chu Tianya couldn't hold back any longer, and said angrily, "This matter is over here, there is no need to talk about it again!" ”

"Hah! - Hahaha! Zhang Duyan suddenly laughed wildly, then stopped laughing, stared at Chu Tianya with a fierce face, and said in a deep voice, "My territory, it's not your turn to shout recklessly - what are you?" My affairs with Qingyun Castle, Qixing Mountain, and Lord Xiao have a fart relationship with you, so it's your turn to take care of it? You'd better shut up for me! - If it weren't for the sake of Second Brother Ma, I would have abolished you now! ”

Xiao Linglong frowned slightly, looked at Chu Tianya with clear and beautiful eyes, and her face was extremely complicated. Chu Tianya stared at her with wide eyes, completely ignoring the one-eyed arrogance, as if he wanted to read the answer from her eyes.

"As I said, no one can stop what I'm going to do." Xiao Linglong met Chu Tianya's gaze without flinching, and said softly, but resolutely, "For this, I can also spare no price!" ”
