Chapter 4 Under the Nest
The three of them went to Chu Tianya's house. On the way, Bai Zhi walked side by side with Chu Tianya. The woman in white was half a step behind, holding a short dagger in one hand and shrinking in her sleeve to prevent Chu Tianya from any rash actions.
Chu Tianya's home used to be a teaching Caotang Academy. After his father's death, Caotang had no students. Chu Tianya loved to eat, drink and gamble at home with groups of friends, so he changed a few gambling tables in the past grass hall into a block. The study next to it has settled down and made a guest room, which is convenient for those friends to stay at home.
A few days ago, Chu Tianya suffered a serious illness and was drowsy in bed for several days. When he woke up, he had changed his soul and was reincarnated. Those friends closed the door several times when they came to play with Chu Tianya, and they never looked for him again.
As soon as the three entered the yard, the woman in white covered the door and said to Chu Tianya, "If you have any strange actions, I will kill you first!"
Chu Tianya looked at him indifferently, "It's often to fight and kill. Can't you say something else?"
"Oh!" The woman in white snorted, cold as cold as frost, and said disdainfully, "You Song people are shameless and have no faith, and there is nothing to say to you!"
"Where did the Song people offend you? Do you want to overturn a boat of people?" Chu Tianya was very unhappy when he heard this, and his eyebrows were slightly serious, "You Song people? - Aren't you?"
"Of course not!" The woman in white glanced at Chu Tianya and turned her face and said coldly, "If it weren't for saving people, I would have been ashamed to be with you, a southern official!"
Bai Zhi came forward and said, "Okay, okay, don't argue. Taibao, let's discuss the business quickly!"
Chu Tianya was not in the mood to quarrel with a woman at this moment, so he nodded, looked deeply at the woman in white, and took the two of them to the Caotang study in the backyard.
Walking to the backyard, an old man with gray hair and limping came towards him. First, he bowed Chu Tianya and looked at the two people behind him and said, "Young master, you are back. Are these two your friends?"
Chu Tianya nodded, "I'll take care of you here. You can settle down and treat the guests with tea."
The old man agreed, saluted the man and the man, and then left with a crutch.
"Who is it?" Ask in vain.
"A lonely veteran, surnamed He, my name is Uncle He." Chu Tianya said, "When my father was alive, he helped in this school, and then he stayed to take care of my food and sleeping house and lived in this backyard."
"So, there are no other idle people waiting in Taibao's family?" Bai Shu said.
Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "You are very careful and vigilant."
"In such a situation, there is no one!" Bai Yu shook his fan and smiled, "Now Taiyuan City is a blessed place for Taibao, but for me, it is the Longtan Tiger's Lair, which is not careless. If there is any abrupt offending, please forgive me.
"It's better to deal with you." Chu Tianya said this and subconsciously looked at the woman in white.
The woman in white had no expression on her face, but she didn't look at Chu Tianya.
The three of them entered the grass hall. He Bo brought some sweets and tea to settle down, and reminded Chu Tianya that it was his shift this evening. Don't miss the time to go to the prison city.
"Just in time." After Uncle He left, Bai Xun said, "Taibao can save people tonight."
"I don't seem to have promised you yet, have I?" Chu Tianya said indifferently, "Let's talk about saving people later. At least, I have to wait for me to meet Xue Yu in person.
Bai Xi frowned and said, "Then the Taibao asked us to have a long talk. What do you want to talk about?"
Chu Tianya said, "I want to know what is the relationship and situation between the Song Dynasty and the State of Jin today?"
Bai Qi blinked unexpectedly and then smiled, "Taibao... What are you doing?"
Chu Tianya frowned slightly, looked directly at Bai Xun and said, "Because I'm from Song."
Baixu shook the fan and smiled silently, and the woman in white next to him giggled.
"That's all." Chu Tianya shook his head and stood up. "It seems that I have nothing to talk about with you. Now I'm going to the prison city to have a look at Xue Yu, and when I come back, I'll discuss it with you.
"Wait." Bai Yu also stood up and said, "Did you promise to help us save people?"
"It doesn't count." Chu Tianya took a breath and said, "Let me tell you the truth. If Xue Yu is really a real hero as you said, I will definitely save him without your bribery. On the contrary, if he is a vicious mountain thief, even if you put a knife into my chest now, I will never agree!"
The white and the woman in white were stunned again. They didn't believe that such a thing would come from the mouth of the famous scoundrel in Taiyuan.
After saying that, Chu Tianya went out.
The woman in white came to her senses, shook her body and stretched out her arms to stop him.
Chu Tianya couldn't help but be a little annoyed and shouted in a low voice - "If you really come to save people, get out of the way!"
"Why should I believe you?" The woman in white looked at him uncompulsively.
"That's good." There was already some anger on Chu Tianya's face. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Let me go if you don't believe it; if you don't believe it, you can kill it with a knife!"
The woman in white was caught off guard by Chu Tianya's sudden surge. In an instant, she seemed to be suppressed, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
Taking advantage of her stunned time, Chu Tianya snorted, raised his hand to block her arm, and strode out.
"How can that be!" The woman in white scolded, raised her arm, and the short dagger in her hand was about to fly out.
"No." Bai Shu made a sound to stop it.
Bai Xi's voice was not loud, but the arm of the woman in white was fixed like a petrified sky, and then slowly took back the knife. After taking a deep breath, he turned around and stared at Bai Yu angrily and said, "Why did you stop me?"
"Because it's useless to kill." Bai Shu answered leisurely in no hurry, then stepped forward and closed the door of the grass hall, and said to the woman in white with a smile, "Five sister, why do you become so impulsive and irritable as soon as you enter Taiyuan City? It's not like you."
The woman in white took a long breath, sat down a little demented, and said with a trace of shame, "Don't you know how much hatred I have with Song people?"
"I'm also from Song, and my eldest brother and Xue Yu are also from Song." Bai Yu shook his fan and sat down in front of the woman in white, poured her a cup of tea, and said, "In fact, whether it is the Song people, the Liao people or the Jin people, there are both good and bad, which can't be generalized. I know your pain well, but at present, we still have to focus on the overall situation and save the third brother.
The woman in white was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Do you really believe that Pi will help us? I thought that as soon as he walked out of this door, he would inform him and ask the official to arrest us!"
"I don't think so." Bai Xu shook the fan gently with a smile and said, "Although I have only been with him for an hour, from my eyesight, he did not pretend in front of us. What he said just now is sincere.
"Which sentence?"
He laughed blankly, "It's the words of heroes and grass bandits, saving and not saving. Fifth sister, what an indomitable hero Xue Sange is. Are you afraid that he will verify the evidence?
"Do you believe him?" The woman in white was extremely surprised.
"I don't believe in him, I believe in myself." Bai Shu still had a relaxed smile on his face. He shook his fan and said leisurely, "I believe in the way I look at people and my judgment."
"But this person is a bad and notorious Longcheng Taibao!"
"It's better to see it than to hear it. After all, seeing is believing, and hearing is believing.
The woman in white was speechless for a moment, and suddenly a trace of bad intentions flashed on her face. She stared at Bai Yu and said, "I forgot, you are so majestic today, Fourth Brother Bai! In front of outsiders, he repeatedly scolded me!"
Bai Xu suddenly trembled slightly in his heart, but his expression was calm. He shook the fan and smiled, "It's business, it's business."
"I know it's business. My eldest brother also ordered me to respect you and listen to your orders. Otherwise, how can you bully me like this? The woman in white looked at Bai Xu as if she pretended to be angry. Seeing that he was obviously panicked but forced to shake the fan calmly, she couldn't help but be a little funny. So she relaxed her tone and said, "Hey, I'm asking you, why is that guy called 'Dragon City' Taibao? All I know is that there used to be a Dragon City in Liaoning Province. Why is Taiyuan also called Dragon City?
"Of course." Bai Xu replied with a sigh of relief.
"Is there a source, let's talk about it?" The woman in white said, "I know you are well-informed, so I will give you a chance to show off in front of me."
"Xiaosheng, I would like to serve the fifth sister." Bai Xun smiled, took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Taiyuan is known as the 'Dragon City', but it's a long story..."
Chu Tianya changed into a soap suit and went to the prison city. Along the way, he was thinking that it won't be long before the Jin people will go south to invade the Song Dynasty. Others don't know what the "change of Jingkang" is. Can I still not know? - The Jin people go south is no different from Japan's invasion of China. Slaughter, set fire, rape |**, plunder, destroy the city and destroy the bones of the earth... It's too much!
Taiyuan, just after being conquered by the State of Jin - Slaughter City!
No matter how later historians dilute this national tragedy and whitewash this anti-human war that has lost its humanity - but it did happen at that time!
Chu Tianya stopped at the height of the stone overpass and looked at the bustling crowds on the street at both ends of the bridge for a living. Each of them has his own relatives, friends and life, and has joys and sorrows. If there is no war, it will continue to reproduce and live and work in Taiyuan City.
But one day if the golden soldier is killed... They will all cry and die under the iron hooves of the golden army, and their heads and their hands and feet will be cut off by the golden soldier's machetes; at that time, the blood will be stained red in the street market, and the corpses will block the river; the sad voice of the woman's humiliation is submerged by the roar of the golden beast, and the bodies of the old man and child are hung on the willow. Above - the once prosperous and peaceful city's corpse is full of smoke and flames, turned into a fierce ghost crying Abi hell...
Chu Tianya closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Under the nest, there is no perfect egg! Can I only run for my life? ...Even if I escape, where is my place under this strange Song Putian?"
"If you don't escape, I'm a little official..."
"Can I fight against the thousands of iron riders of the Kingdom of Jin?"
"Can I save the people of the Song Dynasty from this disaster?"
"Can I stop the Jingkang change?"
"Then what can I... do?"
