Shi Liai's face tensed instantly, his eyes narrowed, and he stared at Chu Tianya.

Zhang Xiaochun and the officials and generals were stunned at first, and then suddenly felt that a blood in their hearts was suddenly boiling!

The atmosphere was already tense, and the Jurchen guards behind Shi Liai all showed fierce eyes, and their eyes were like hungry wolves.

But after all, this is a formal diplomatic occasion, and even if you have the intention to kill, you must have a smiling face.

Zhang Xiaochun laughed, "The subordinates are rude, your envoy forgive me." This government thinks that it is better for people like us to discuss such an important national event together and calmly. Why don't you let these generals go to the other hall to eat at the bar? ”

"It's okay, that's fine." Shi Liai smiled unhurriedly, "It's rare to see a brave man like General Song in the south, which is admirable." ”

"Don't dare." Chu Tianya replied coldly, but the other Song Dynasty officials and generals were annoyed in their hearts - praising one and belittling a bunch, this is a clear praise and a secret loss! Shi Liai has this stinky mouth, but it's really poisonous!

"This envoy is curious, what is the position of the Song general?"

"Under the command of the Hedong Xuanfu Division, the commander of the military capital."

"Hey, that's a shame!" Shi Liai sighed loudly, "A romantic figure like General Song, if he was born in the Dajin Kingdom, he can at least be a marshal, even if he is a deputy marshal!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the officials and generals of the Song Dynasty present already knew that Shi Liai had already recognized Chu Tianya. Saying this, it was nothing more than stimulating the Song people present to say that the Great Song Dynasty would not use people, and would use some waste to become generals; At the same time, he was also making fun of Chu Tianya's behavior of pretending to be a young general.

Chu Tianya smiled.

"Why is the general laughing?" Shi Liai asked.

"The last general will be so loved by your envoy, naturally he is a little panicked." Chu Tianya said, "Your envoy is a great talent, he originally achieved the envoy of the festival in the Liao State, and he became the privy envoy of the Western Imperial Court in the Jin State. How can the last general, how can he dare to be the marshal or deputy marshal, and keep pace with the noble envoy? ”

"Hehe, General Song is too modest!" Shi Liai was a little smiling, it was obvious that Chu Tianya still had the following.

Right now, these two people have started a war without the smoke of gunpowder, and they are talking and fighting. Everyone present stopped talking and watched the two fight.

"The last general, don't dare not be modest!" Chu Tianya grinned and smiled coldly, "How can I say it, our Great Song Dynasty hasn't died yet!" Even if the last general wanted to go to the Jin Kingdom to be a big official, he didn't have the courage to do something like betraying his ancestors and forgetting his ancestors. Just talking about this courage, the last general will never be able to compare with the noble envoy. Actually, the noble envoy can also come to our Great Song Dynasty to be an official, anyway, the noble envoy is already familiar with this kind of thing of changing the court and choosing the master. With your great talent, you have come to the Great Song Dynasty, at least you can keep up with Governor Zhang's mansion! ”

"How can this be!!"

Shi Liai didn't have a seizure, and the several Jurchen guards behind him couldn't hold it back. He suddenly stepped forward and pulled out his knife!

The generals who were standing with Chu Tianya moved when they heard the sound, and they drew their swords in unison in the angry shouts, and the two sides confronted each other.

"Hey, what's this for?" Shi Liai stood up with a smile and waved his hand, "This is the synagogue, not the battlefield. Are you still waiting to retreat? ”

The Jurchen guards gritted their teeth to the bone, and they were extremely unwilling to put the knife into the sheath and stand back. Zhang Xiaochun came out to say hello, and the generals of the Song Dynasty also put away their swords and returned.

Chu Tianya stood still and didn't move, looking at Shi Liai with a smile.

"It seems that this is the only way to discuss today." Shi Liai didn't seem to be angry at all, he was still smiling and graceful, he bowed to Zhang Xiaochun and said, "Governor Zhang, it's better for me to discuss it another day." ”

"Listen to me." Zhang Xiaochun was also unambiguous, and casually arched his hand in return.

Shi Liai turned around and walked in front of Chu Tianya, looked at him, and suddenly the corners of his mouth gently lifted upward, revealing a chilling sneer.

"Your Excellency, what else do you have to teach?" Chu Tianya asked indifferently.

"The envoy took the liberty of asking the general for a favor. Of course, it was only a private invitation, and it had nothing to do with state affairs. Shi Liai said.

"Your Excellency, please speak."

"The envoy wanted to ask General Song about a person, she was a woman, about nineteen years old, named Zhu'er. He was one of the members of the mission who came with the envoy. She suddenly disappeared in Taiyuan City yesterday night. Shi Liai looked at Chu Tianya and said, "This place in Taiyuan is unfamiliar with people, and it is extremely inconvenient to find people. I don't know General Song, can you inquire and find it on your behalf? ”

Chu Tianya couldn't help but smile, "This kind of thing, why didn't your envoy ask the prefect's yamen for help?" Ah, Governor Zhang's Mansion is there. ”

"Governor Zhang's daily management is full of opportunities, and he dares to work hard for trivial things? Moreover, the envoy and General Song hit it off at first sight, so he was cheeky and willing to ask General Song to help with this. Of course, if it is inconvenient for General Song to agree, then forget it. Shi Liai said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll help you find it when I have time. But I can't guarantee that I will find it. Chu Tianya replied casually.

"Thank you." Shi Liai hugged Chu Tianya and looked at Chu Tianya very meaningfully, "This envoy believes that as long as General Song wants to do something, it will definitely be done." It's just looking for someone, and it must be fine. ”

"Your envoy thinks too highly of me." Chu Tianya said indifferently, "Figuratively speaking, guarding Taiyuan, I'm really not sure about this." I don't know how sure your envoy is about taking Taiyuan? ”

"If you have a few percent, I will have a few percent." Shi Liai's voice was lowered, and he got closer, almost nose to nose with Chu Tianya, and said word by word, "If there is really that day, we will know when the time comes." ”

"Okay, we'll see." Chu Tianya sneered indifferently.

"I'm looking forward to it, too." Shi Liai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "If General Song finds Zhu'er, please sue her, she will definitely die." No matter where she fled, she couldn't escape the result. ”

"I'm only responsible for finding people, I don't care about the rest." Chu Tianya said lightly.

"Really? That's the best. Shi Liai's expression relaxed, took two steps back, and smiled easily, "Then there is General Lao Song." This envoy, thank you in advance. ”

"You're welcome. The two countries of Song and Jin are friends, and it is also appropriate for the last general to do his best for your envoys. Chu Tianya said lightly, "But the last general suddenly had a whim." She's going to die anyway, so the envoy doesn't care what the last general treats her, right? ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the generals of the Song Dynasty present all let out a lewd laugh. The implication of these words is too obvious, women, there is no shortage of women more than men in the army.

Shi Liai's expression twitched inexplicably, and he sneered, "General, please feel free." Anyway, you have to see people when you live, and you have to see corpses when you die. ”

"Okay, I know what to do." Chu Tianya hugged Shi Liai, "This matter will be handed over to the last general." ”

"General Lao - farewell!"

Shi Liai took his entourage and walked away.

As soon as these people left, including Zhang Xiaochun, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

War is inherently a continuation of politics; If there is a disagreement at the negotiation table, it is possible to lead to millions of corpses. Today's meeting is not so much a diplomatic negotiation as a life-and-death struggle.

In recent years, Da Song has never bargained for the slightest bargain at the negotiating table. The most common scene is that the envoys of foreign countries are arrogant, and the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty are trembling, for fear of offending the other party verbally and leading to the occurrence of war.

On this occasion, it is not only courage and eloquence, but more importantly, confidence and backing.

Suitable talent, Shi Liai only said a few words, so Zhang Xiaochun and others were speechless. If you talk about courage and eloquence, the Song Dynasty officials and generals present are indeed unmatched. In fact, the most important thing is that they don't have the confidence in their hearts, and they dare to argue with the envoys of the Jin Kingdom.

But Chu Tianya has. It's not just because of the foreshadowing of the Battle of Huanglong Valley and the 100,000 male soldiers under his command; What's more, he has the determination to dare to turn Taiyuan into an empty city!

Although today's meeting did not lead to any results, it is clear that the Song dynasty has the upper hand in momentum. As soon as Shi Liai and the others left, Zhang Xiaochun and all the officials and generals raised their eyebrows and laughed, and gathered around Chu Tianya's side together, giving him all kinds of heroic praise.

A general who was familiar with Chu Tianya asked with a lot of mouths, "General, why did you agree to that barbarian and find someone for him?" This kind of thing is none of our business! Who still has the leisure to really help him find someone! ”

"No need to look for her, I know where she is." Chu Tianya said with a smile, "Shi Liai clearly recognized me, and he also knew that that person must have fled to me to seek refuge. He was really just threatening me, saying I couldn't protect her. ”

"Hey, who is she?" More people asked curiously, "Why are you with the general?" ”

"She?" Chu Tianya smiled, "Give me a warm bed!" ”

Later, everyone dispersed, and Zhang Xiaochun stayed with Chu Tianya for dinner.

During the banquet, Zhang Xiaochun said: "Looking at this situation, Shi Liai didn't plan to really go back to Taiyuan. He just came to find fault and see if he could find a handle and declare war on my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Chu Tianya didn't know the voice of Zhang Xiaochun's words, and said with a slight smile: "Governor Zhang wants to say that the Jin Congress is like following the Zhang Jue incident in Pingzhou last year, and then using the disappearance of Zhu'er, a member of the mission, as an excuse to use troops against me?" ”

Zhang Xiaochun smiled awkwardly, "General, it's not impossible to have this possibility!" ”

"Excuses, whatever they make up, that's something we can't guard against." Chu Tianya straightened his color, "People, I will never hand it over." ”

Zhang Xiaochun had long expected that Chu Tianya would answer like this, so he took a breath and nodded with a wry smile, "The words are reasonable." But...... In case the Song and Jin countries really go to war again because of a woman, General, your reputation will be pushed to the forefront. ”

"That's right, what someone Chu wants is to be famous." Chu Tianya was extremely indifferent.

"Is it really worth it for a mere woman?"

"Don't say it's a person, even if it's a piece of grass, I won't give it to Jin Guo." Chu Tianya looked at Zhang Xiaochun and said, "Between states and countries, every inch of land must be contested. In fact, the fight is not for soil, but for dignity! If you give up a foot today, he will dare to take another foot from you tomorrow. We have always thought that we have money, and we always think that it is very cost-effective to sacrifice a little money, food and land in exchange for peace. In fact, what we give is not only money, grain and land, but also dignity and confidence. In the long run, the Great Song Dynasty indulged in reluctance and stealing peace, and the heart of cowardice was deep-rooted; At the same time, the desire for foreign land is becoming more and more difficult to fill, and the heart of self-destruction is becoming stronger. ”

"Yes, it does." Zhang Xiaochun nodded thoughtfully, and raised his wine glass with a guilty face, "The lower official has lost his word, and he will punish himself with a glass of white water!" ”

Chu Tianya smiled and said: "If we meet again tomorrow, I would like to see you again." Actually, I think he's an interesting guy. ”

Zhang Xiaochun drank a glass of wine and said with a wry smile: "When the two of you come together, you are really an opponent and a good talent." Today, in the hall of the Xuanfu Division, the two of you staged a good show of needle-to-wheat mang. Although there is no sword and sword, don't be thrilling! ”

"yes, I think it's pretty enjoyable too." Chu Tianya smiled, "That's why I want to see him again." In fact, having a good opponent is just like having a good friend, which is a good thing! ”
