Song Xiao

Chapter 10 Hidden

After that, Chu Tianya thought that maybe in the eyes of Tong Guan and Ma Yu, a vulgar official like me can only act as a logistics fireman in the army. They arranged for me this idle errand that is easy to get oil and water. In addition to being "useful", they also thought it was a great favor to me.

Chu Tianya didn't really care about it. Originally, he didn't come to rely on Tong Guan to seek any origin. He just wanted to get along with him and act with the camera. There is no difference between being a commander and being a fireman. It's just that if this hot man wants to come into contact with Tong Guan again, the opportunity may be a little slim.

After staying in the barracks for a while and getting a general understanding, Chu Tianya, at the urging of Changshi Yatang, went to hand over the public office of Taiyuan Mansion and get the household registration and other things, and handed them over to Changshi for safekeeping. These things were originally the businessman of Changshi Yatang, but they didn't bother to run this leg and insisted on Chu Tianya to pick it up by himself. No one could do it.

In the army, officials were suppressed to death, not to mention in the army of the Song Dynasty.

So Chu Tianya changed the soap clothes and other public clothes and made a bag, and then put on the cloak of the Song soldier's envoy. First, he went to the prison city to deliver his official duties, and then called Jiang Laosan.

When the people of the prison city saw that Chu Tianya went out and came back, they turned into an officer. They were immediately surprised and envious. Of course, they did not forget to brag for a long time. In the past, the arrogant boss Guan Ying and others couldn't wait to lie down and lick the soles of Chu Tianya. They just looked at him say a few good words in front of Tong Taishi, so that they could also follow them to the Shengjie Army to make a meal.

It took Chu Tianya a lot of time to get rid of these people. Then he took Jiang Laosan to the state government office. He used the official documents of Changshi Yatang to transfer the household registration letter and other things, and just waited to go back to deliver and file.

Jiang Laosan was very happy now, just like a fortune falling from the sky hitting his head, and he flew to the sky happily.

It is also no wonder that with the Song Dynasty, no one wants to be an official or an official in the army. Because the imperial grain of the Song Dynasty is simply so delicious. Hugh said that he is an official and general, an ordinary forbidden soldier. In addition to military salary and various gifts, there are also rewards and subsidies from time to time. In addition, there are materials, monthly food, spring and winter bedding and clothing. Moreover, the forbidden army that garrisons on one side all year round can also allow their families to accompany the army and provide housing by the army.

It can be said that one person is a soldier, and the whole family is well-off!

And the treatment of those generals is more generous.

In addition, Chu Tianya and Jiang Laosan are the forbidden army specializing in logistics. This is a well-known relaxed, comfortable and risk-free arms. There is also oil and water to fish, which is more than a thousand times better than mixing in the prison city. More importantly, it is quite difficult to change from an official to an official. Most of the young officials spend their lives in the officialdom, and in the end, they are still officials.

Now the two of them have been transferred from officials to officials overnight. Their value has increased by more than a hundred times in an instant, and their social status has also been raised by a higher level. It can be said that they are "glorious ancestors".

In excitement, Jiang Laosan almost knelt down and hugged Chu Tianya's leg and called him his own father. Chu Tianya thought he was nagging, so he sent him to report to the army and handed over his household registration to Changshi Yatang, but he went home.

Although the army clearly stipulates that military officers and soldiers can only arrange accommodation by the army, and they are not allowed to stay outside without permission. But the one where Chu Tianya is located is Tong Guan's close guard. Now that he has stationed in the city, he is not so strict. Therefore, these soldiers of the victorious army are famous in Taiyuan City. It's not because they are so domineering, but because they are all proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and they are all rich people who spend money.

The firehead army in charge of logistics is more free because it often has to go in and out of the market to purchase the materials needed by the army. This may be the only thing that makes Chu Tianya satisfied, at least not so much detention, and it is convenient to act in the future.

Along the way, the neighbors were surprised to see Chu Tianya wearing a star scarlet military uniform, a felt hat and a hanging knife at his waist, as if he were dressed as a military leader. Naturally, many people came forward to pat the horse with sincerity. Chu Tianya finally sent them away and returned home.

As usual, Uncle He still sat on the steps of the backyard arch to bask in the sun, with a messy gray and white beard, a shabby cyan cloth, and beside him was a crutch that he often did not leave. He was just a bad old man.

Chu Tianya walked straight towards him.

Uncle He seemed to be taking a nap. At this time, he woke up and looked up at Chu Tianya. He suddenly showed two rows of yellow teeth and smiled, "Congratulations, young master, you have been promoted to military general."

"It's just a district military envoy who specializes in animal control." Chu Tianya didn't say much and sat down next to him.

Uncle He looked at him sideways and seemed to smile, "Young master, there seems to be a lot to say to the old man?"

"No." Chu Tianya, who has been running for two days, relaxed a little at this time, leaned against the edge of the wall and said, "You always think that I will definitely ask you about your past and origin. Is that right?"

"Don't you want to know?"

"I want to. But I won't ask." Chu Tianya smiled, stood up on his knees and said, "You should tell me, you will naturally tell me. If you don't want to talk about it, no matter how hard I ask you, I won't talk about it. Why should I make it so difficult for me?"

"Young master, you have changed a lot recently." Uncle He said this lightly. Chu Tianya, who had just walked two steps away, stopped, and his heart trembled inexplicably.

"Do you have it? Why don't I feel it?" Chu Tianya laughed indifferently.

"The recent transformation of the young master is not ordinary." He Bo said in his hoarse voice behind Chu Tianya, "But, as the young master said, you will naturally say what you should tell me; if you don't want to talk about it, even if you ask, the young master will not open your mouth. Moreover, the young master is the master, and the old man is the servant. I shouldn't ask about the master's family.

Chu Tianya turned around and looked at him. An old man and a young man looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

But Chu Tianya feels that the smiles of the two people at present are full of treachery, and there is a little bit of confusion.

Don't talk to each other, don't ask each other - it is as if they have reached such a tacit understanding between the two.

"Young master, there is another thing to remind you." Uncle He changed the topic and said.

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know why you want to get close to Tong Guan, but I'm sure that Xue Yu must kill Tong Guan. So you should be extra careful not to be hindered by Xue Yu and others. Uncle He said.

Chu Tianya nodded plausally and did not say anything.

He Bo then said, "He sneaked into Taiyuan on this trip, and it is very likely that he was assassinated. It's just that he didn't act well, and he was arrested before he did it. Fortunately, the matter was not revealed, otherwise the king of heaven would not save his life. If you get involved, you will also be a dead end.

"Xue Yu and Tong Guan have an old feud?" Chu Tianya asked curiously. Although he had also cheated Xue Yu with words before, and most of them speculated that he came here for assassination, this was only his own speculation after all.

"Xue Yu's reputation in Hebei is also very loud. Many people know about him." Uncle He's voice was still low and hoarse, and he said in no hurry, "He came from the military family, and the official is under the jurisdiction of the big name. The official is not small. Then he was a handsome and unrestrained talent, known as the 'beautiful Xuelang' and married an aristocratic woman from Liao. Since then, the husband and wife have loved each other and become an enviable couple. Unfortunately, her wife went back to her mother's house later, and Xue Yu did not accompany her because of official business. Coincidentally, the Battle of Jinliao broke out, and the Song Dynasty also quickly took action against Liao. Song and Liao were cut off from each other. His wife could not return home. Finally, she was abduction to Liaodong by the Jin people. What auspiciousness was!"

"But what does this have to do with Tong Guan?" Chu Tianya asked curiously.

He Bo said, "Did the young master forget that Tong Guan is the commander-in-chief of the Song army who conquered the State of Liao and supervised the battle in Hebei? According to the agreement between the Song Dynasty and the State of Jin, Yanshan Mansion was supposed to be attacked by the Song Dynasty. However, Tong Guan couldn't fight well. In order to get rid of the crime and ask for a reward, he shamelessly asked the State of Jin to help attack Yanshan Mansion. Then, let the court spend millions of taels of silver to buy back the Yanshan Mansion from the State of Jin.

"I know about this." Chu Tianya nodded and said, "After Tong Guan bought back the Yanshan Mansion, he claimed to have recovered the 16 states of Yanyun, which had been lost for a hundred years, and made great contributions to the court. At that time, Shenzong left a posthumous instruction. If any general or minister recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun, he would make him king! - Therefore, Tong Guan, as a eunuch, became the king of Guangyang!"

He Bo nodded, "When Tong Guan attacked Liao, he couldn't beat the Liao army, but it was his specialty to recruit rebellion. He lured down Guo Yaoshi, the general of Liao, and his elite division: Chang Shengjun. Chang Shengjun is mainly a member of the Xi nationality. According to the prior agreement of Song Jin, the Xi people belong to the State of Jin. Therefore, the Jin people were not happy. In addition to ask for money when handing over the Yanshan Mansion, they also had to return the lured Guo Yaoshi and his army. The court of the Song Dynasty refused, so the Jin people seized the handle of the Song Dynasty during the negotiation, claiming that the city of Yanshan Mansion can be given to the Song Dynasty, but the people in the city can't give it to you - unless you hand it over Guo Yaoshi and Chang Shengjun! Tong Guan did not dare to give up the power valued by Guo Yaoshi, which was valued by the court, and was eager to ask for credit. How could he care about the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in Yanshan Mansion? He promised that as long as the city didn't care about anything else! In this way, the Jurchens dug three feet of Yanshan Mansion and robbed it, and then robbed hundreds of thousands of people who flocked to the bitter cold land in Liaodong as slaves, leaving Tong Guan an empty dead city! - Among the people who were robbed, there was Xue Yu's wife. Do you think Xue Yu has a grudge against Tong Guan?

"It's no wonder Xue Yu grited his teeth with hatred for Tong Guan." Chu Tianya suddenly realized and said, "Xue Yu may have offended Tong Guan and was sent to prison because of this matter, and finally became a leader in the Qixing Mountain of Taihang. In this way, the future family business and everything will be cut off. It can be said that Tong Guan ruined his life!"

"It was not the child who destroyed him, but the world. It's just pretending to borrow Tong Guan's hand!" He Bo sighed and said, "Now there are many crises and ups and downs in the Song Dynasty. Officials are in charge of mediocrity and treacherous ministers, corruption in the officialdom, and corruption of the army. While we tied our hands and feet, didn't want to make progress, and were complacent, the wolf-like northern Jurchens quickly grew up and destroyed Liao in just ten years. Although the Song Dynasty and the State of Jin formed an alliance to fight against Liaoning. But now that Liao has been destroyed, this alliance has no meaning. Seeing that my Song Dynasty is so rich, decadent and weak, how can an ambitious woman not go south and invade the truth of the Song Dynasty?

Chu Tianya listened quietly, but his heart was churning like a stormy wave: If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, who could believe that such a top-to-the-point situation came from the mouth of a disabled old army that was not amazing? - He could understand that Tong Guan, and those kings and ministers in the court, could he want to Not thorough?

"Young master, since you have formed a favor with Xue Yu, it's better to go to Qixing Mountain with them and become a strong leader, which is better than waiting to die in this Taiyuan City." Uncle He still said without hurry, "If the Jin people go south, Taiyuan Mansion is the only way. Although the child thief holds a heavy army in his hand, how can he dare to fight against the real iron horse? Taiyuan City is small and shallow, and sooner or later it will be broken. At that time, there will be no eggs under the nest!"

After listening to this, Chu Tianya stared at He Bo's old face for 30 seconds.

"Why is the young master staring at me like this? It's not a big girl's house!" Uncle He is still talking and laughing easily.

"I won't escape alone." Chu Tianya said it lightly, but it was absolutely irrefutable. Then he said, "But I really want to know - can I trust you?"

"People, when you can't help yourself, you can't even trust yourself. What are you talking about?" He Bo got up tremblingly, picked up his crutch and walked to the inner room. When he turned around, he threw down a sentence--

"All I can say is that I will never hurt you!"
