Chapter 42 Fair Trade

Xiao Linglong suddenly made this decision, which surprised Chu Tianya. He asked with a smile, "Why did Princess Xiao go?"

"There are three reasons." Xiao Linglong seemed to have thought about it for a long time and replied, "One, my eldest brother ordered me to protect you. This is my duty. Whether you like it or not, I will fulfill it. It's unpredictable to go to Xishan. In case you have any mistakes, how can I give it to the eldest brother?

Chu Tianya laughed and said, "That's the reason. I'm going to be a guest, not to write a war. In addition, to protect everything, I can invite Uncle He to walk with me.

"That's what you think; duty is duty, and I have to perform it." Xiao Linglong said in a routine tone, "Second, the eldest brother asked Ada to reply to me, saying that among the 18 heroes in Xishan, many people used to be from Liao. Among them, there are also several leaders, who were generals in my Liao army. I will persuade them as the princess of Liao, and the chances of success will be greatly increased.

He Bo nodded repeatedly, "The girl has a good idea. Young master, let her go with you!"

Before Chu Tianya could answer, Xiao Linglong said, "The third reason is that I have the hatred of destroying the country and the dead, and it is incumbent on me to unite against the gold. If you can gather the good men of the Eighteen Villages of Xishan together, you can fight against my enemy. And if there is a chance, I also hope to unite a group of forces to help me restore Liao!"

"Reinstate Liaoning?" Chu Tianya and Uncle He were slightly stunned.

"That's right." Xiao Linglong said seriously, "A bright man doesn't do secret things. I have also said this to my eldest brother. I have suffered a lot in the world, just to seek the help of strength, hoping to restore the Liao Dynasty. Although the chances of success in this matter are very slim, I will never give up!"

Chu Tianya and He Bo were speechless for a moment.

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 motivation, not all to help you or fulfill my eldest brother's orders. Now we have a common enemy, so we can work together.

"This is really and convincing." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Well, since we have a common purpose, please ask Princess Xiao to go to Xishan with me. However, there is an ugly saying that I want to say in the front.

"say."

Chu Tianya said, "From now on, no matter what purpose you are or what you are going to do, please don't be the enemy of the Song Dynasty. This is my bottom line. I'll make it clear to you first.

"What if I accidentally break your bottom line?" Xiao Linglong raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Chu Tianya fixedly.

Chu Tianya smiled and said, "I will be your enemy without hesitation, just like treating the invading female robbers."

Uncle He's face changed slightly, "Why should the young master speak so ruthlessly? It's not good to hurt the harmony!"

"Bunbo He, there's nothing wrong with this. If an open person doesn't do anything secret, everyone can act in the future. Xiao Linglong was not angry and said righteously, "I know your bottom line. Well, 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, OK, OK. This is a clearly marked price, and it's a fair deal. Chu Tianya smiled and said, "If you don't speak clearly, you can't understand the reason. In the future, we will also have a criterion in our hearts - please, Princess Xiao, to wish us a happy cooperation, Fuxing Inn!"

"Oh, you two, really! ..." Bo He shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, "I really answered that sentence. It's not that the enemy doesn't get together! - Let's go, let's go, let's eat!"

The three of them left home and went to 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 heard Xiaofei shouting, "Who are you in the middle of the night!"

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

"Oh, the official of Chu is here! ...You, get dressed and get out of here!" Xiaofei shouted in a hurry in the inner room.

Chu Tianya was funny. After a while, the door was opened. There was a young woman with messy clothes and messy hair. She hurried out of the room and hurried away.

Chu Tianya went into the room and saw Xiaofei still hurriedly dressing and making the bed there. He smiled and said, "How dare you get rid of your injury? I'm sorry, I broke your good deeds!"

"Hey, hey hey!" Xiaofei rubbed his hands and smiled awkwardly, "I haven't rested for a few days, and I feel better... I called a little prostitute to try and made the senior official of Chu laugh - the senior official came to find the little one, but decided to go to Qingyunzhai?"

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

"Great!" Xiaofei said in surprise, "Brother and wife must be overjoyed!"

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

"Good!"

After the agreement, Chu Tianya returned to the Accord. After the three of them finished eating, Xiao Linglong called Ada and Anu again, and the group returned to Chu Tianya's home.

At dawn the next day, Chu Tianya got up early. When I opened the door, I 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 until they finished.

Uncle He came up and said with a smile, "Master, have you seen it just now?"

"I saw it, but I didn't hear anything." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "What does Uncle He want to give me advice?"

"This trip is of great significance." Uncle He's expression was serious and said to Chu Tianya, "There are 18 mountain thieves in the West Mountain, among which there are good and bad. There are really affectionate and righteous heroes, and there are greedy and shameless despicable villains. There are a total of 30,000 to 40,000 people in the 18 villages, which is a force that cannot be underestimated. At first, if you can ask the owner of Qixingzhai to help, you have more chances to win. Now... young master, the old man only tells you one thing. If this can be done, it will be done; if not, be sure to retreat completely.

"I know." Chu Tianya nodded with a smile, "Would you like to go with me?"

"I'm not going." He shook his head and said, "The old man has gone, that is, many thie. The young master's trip is to mediate peace talks, not to seek revenge, and it is useless for the old man to follow. Therefore, the young master must not make a second life there. Since he is a mountain thief, he is used to killing and set fire. They are all black-hearted.

Chu Tianya nodded and said nothing more. The old man is thoughtful and proficient. He has his own reason for this decision, and it is useless to force it.

After having breakfast later, Uncle He went out and hired two long-distance donkey carts. Soon, Xiaofei also came. A group of five people took two donkey cars and went out of Taiyuan City and looked at Xishan.

The western mountain is located in the southwest of Taiyuan City, and dozens of miles out of the city is the western mountain boundary. This mountain boundary belongs to the Lvliang mountain system. It is said that it is the dragon vein of Taiyuan. It is lush for dozens of miles. The strong ancient pine is like a cloud umbrella cover, but the scenery is pleasant. There are also many historical monuments such as Taoist temple, pagodas and murals. In the past, when there were no mountain thieves, it was still a famous tourist destination.

Along the way, Chu Tianya and Xiaofei took a bus and asked him a lot about Xishan. The West Mountain is actually a huge and wide mountain range, including several major mountains such as Yanshi Mountain, Juwei Mountain, Meng Mountain, Hanging Weng Mountain and Tianlong Mountain, as well as countless small mountains. Qingyunzhai, formerly known as Qingyunbao, is located in the depths of Tianlong Mountain. It used to be a military fortress. Over the years, the wall has been strengthened, but now it has expanded several times and covers an area of nearly 1,000 mu. Among them, Qianmo heard about chickens and dogs, and lived in more than 3,000 families. There were also 7,000 or 8,000 strong heroes and people who dared to die, and the military armor was full of momentum. Although Qingyunzhai is not as large as the scale of the Hanging Weng Mountain and Shangdong, the land here is fertile and the spring water is clear, and the climate is suitable for all seasons, so people and animals are prosperous. Moreover, it has always been the strongest fortress in Xishan, and even the officers and soldiers dare not invade easily.

Therefore, the powerful monk cave has been coveting Qingyunzhai, a natural fortress and a good place for habitat and reproduction, and always wants to seize it. The possession of the stockade has always been the core of the competition between the two factions.

Chu Tianya was secretly amazed when he heard it. The so-called "cottage" seemed to be shabby villages built by vegetation and earthen tiles. Now it sounds that this Qingyunzhai is a city hidden in the deep mountains and forests. No wonder it has been standing for so many years and has not been killed by officers and soldiers.

After parking out of the city, I couldn't walk fast until the evening that I arrived at the foot of Xishan Mountain. The driver who drove the bus here didn't drive away, saying that the mountain thief was afraid of killing him. Chu Tianya and others got out of the car, let Xiaofei lead the way, and walked into Tianlong Mountain on foot.

At this time, it was getting dark. Xiaofei said that he wanted to speed up his pace, otherwise he would have to sleep in this mountain forest tonight. Poisonous insects and beasts were not easy to mess with.

When the group of people trekked hard and climbed over a hillside, Xiaofei took a breath and pointed to the mountains in the vast night in front of him and said, "After that mountain, there is a big pass, which is our Qingyun Fort!"

Chu Tianya couldn't help smiling bitterly: "As the saying goes, how far is it?"

"Hey hey, there are probably seven or eight miles of mountain road. It's coming, it's coming!" Xiaofei was smiling and said, suddenly there was a big fire in front of him, and there was a roar!

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

Xiaofei's face suddenly turned a little white, "It's broken! It won't be the local birds in the monk's cave. Come and attack our Qingyun Fort at night, right?!"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of killing in the distance came one after another. Although I can't hear it, I'm sure that direction is indeed a fierce battle!

"Wow - it's really a fight!" Xiaofei patted his thigh and shouted, "What's wrong with this! - Do you really want to kill all the birds in the monk's cave?"

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

"Strike? - Ouch, it's not easy to talk about it!" Xiaofei said with a sad face, "About 30 years ago, our old village owner took a group of brothers and robbed Qingyunbao as his own territory. Now, Zhang Duan, the big leader of the monk's cave, was once a descendant of the owner of the old Qingyunbao. His family was killed by our old village owner, and he also lost an eye in the chaos at that time. From then on, the two factions had a deep hatred. If they didn't fight until one side fell completely, how could they give up?

Chu Tianya frowned and meditated for a long time. Xiao Linglong said, "It's useless to worry here. It's better to go forward and have a look first. Didn't you say that Monk Dong has been sending horses to attack Qingyunzhai recently? If the leader is Ma Yan, he can at least be persuaded to stop for the time being. For the rest, figure it out!"

"It makes sense - let's go!" Chu Tianya waved his hand, and the group trotted up and looked at Qingyunzhai!

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

As soon as the words fell, there was a sharp roar through the air - a row of sharp arrows were shot in front of the face!
