Chapter 45 At all costs

When I was young, a big banquet was set up in this tent, a table of big fish and meat, and a urn of wine was placed next to everyone. Zhang Duyan said that since Xiao Linglong is the princess and the leader of Qixing Mountain, she should sit at the table and asked her to sit side by side with her.

Chu Tianya and Ma Jian sat next to each other and watched Zhang Duan's eyes constantly persuade Xiao Linglong to drink and eat vegetables, but Xiao Linglong ignored the wine and meat.

Ma Yu whispered, "Brother Chu, Zhang Zhaizhu rarely has such a good temper. In the past, anyone who disobeyed him was cutting his hands, cutting his feet and cutting his tongue. But today, Princess Xiao didn't buy his face, but he still laughed as usual. It can be seen that..."

Chu Tianya waved his hand gently to signal that he didn't have to say it. He knew it.

But Ma Yu was still in a hurry and whispered, "I can see that my brother and Princess Xiao seem to have an ordinary relationship. You have to beware!" Zhang Zhaizhu is a famous hungry ghost who has to serve three women every night. When he meets such a beautiful beauty as Princess Xiao, he will have evil thoughts!"

"I know." Chu Tianya answered faintly without saying much, and quietly observed Zhang's one-eyed eyes.

At this time, Xiao Linglong seemed to be a little impatient. When Zhang One-eyed wanted to pour wine for her, she put the wine glass upside down on the table and said, "Master Zhang Zhai, we are not here for the banquet. Let's talk about business!"

Zhang Duan stayed in the air with a handful of wine pot, and his expression was also stagnant. He smiled and put down the wine pot, "Well, Princess Xiao, let's get down to business!"

Xiao Linglong raised her finger and said, "Talk to him!"

Zhang raised his chin with one eye and looked at Chu Tianya disdainfully with one eye. In his heart, he was wondering if the relationship between Princess Xiao and this little white face was extraordinary?

"Brother Chu, right? I've heard your name for a long time. Zhang opened his mouth and said, "Let's talk about your high opinion now! - Seeing that I can take down the Qingyunbao, why should I listen to you lobbying and reconcile with them?"

"It's very simple. Kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to take Qingyunbao without blood and receive the original Qingyunbao as a whole? Chu Tianya said, "I have a friendship with the Meng leader of Qingyunbao. If the owner of Zhang Zhai is willing to reconcile, I would like to persuade him.

"Oh?" Zhang one-eyed touched his chin, and one-eyedly turned around, and suddenly grinned, "You scholar, you are really understated. Do you know how deep the hatred between my monk cave and Qingyunbao?

"No matter how deep this hatred is, it always originates from the owner of Zhangzhai's own personal hatred. Am I right?" Chu Tianya said, "I know that Qingyunbao was originally the ancestral property of Zhangzhaizhu, and there was also a bloody feud. However, 20 or 30 years have passed, and I'm afraid that the enemies of Zhang Zhaizhu have turned into loess. Now the next person waiting for the owner of the village in Qingyunbao is not the enemy of that year. The owner of Zhangzhai is just a hater. He vowed to destroy all the people in Qingyunbao because of his own private hatred, and let your brothers in Guizhai die desperately for you. Is this a chivalrous one?"

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

Ma Yan hurried out to relieve the siege and said, "Brother, Brother Chu is straightforward. Brother, don't blame!"

"Hahaha!" Unexpectedly, Zhang's one-eyed eyes suddenly laughed loudly, "What do I blame him for? Over the years, only Brother Chu has dared to tell such a big truth. That's right. In those years, my whole family was destroyed. How can I not repay such a bloody hatred? But most of the enemies are dead, and no one has declared my blood feud. However, I must take back the ancestral property of Qingyunbao! - Brother Chu is right. It is not chivalry to let all the brothers die for the sake of my own private hatred of Zhang Duyan. So Brother Chu, is there a clever plan for me not to move the swords and take down the Qingyun Fort again?

As soon as Chu Tianya heard it, he suddenly became alert: This person is so cunning! Just now, I deliberately said these taboos to test his bottom line and character. Just now, his fleeting face and eyes have told me that he is extremely angry and has moved his heart to kill me, but he can still laugh so easily!

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

Zhang one-eyed smiled and said, "Why don't you talk about it first?"

"First of all, the owner of Zhangzhai must withdraw his troops and no longer besiege Qingyunzhai to show the sincerity of reconciliation; then Chu enters the village as a lobbyist, so that he can move the owner of Qingyunzhai to come to reconcile." Chu Tianya said.

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

Chu Tianya nodded, "Secondly, Zhang Zhai can mainly turn the enemy into friends without blaming the past, and no longer ask about the blood feud that year."

"Huh..." Zhang Duan sneered, "If you want me to do so much, should Meng Laoqi also do something for me?"

"I will persuade the owner of Mengzhai to lead the people to attach to the owner of Zhangzhai and present Qingyunbao." Chu Tianya said, "From then on, the ancestral industry of Qingyunbao has returned to the hands of the owner of Zhangzhai. With more people under his command, Qingyunbao, he can reduce the casualties of his brothers. Isn't it killing many birds with one stone?

"It sounds good, but why does Meng Qilang listen to you?" Zhang said with one eye.

"I have my own way." Chu Tianya said, "The last condition is that the owner of Zhangzhai can't drive out the original residents of Qingyunbao, but also turn the enemy into a brother with the owner of Mengzhai, so as to appease the hearts of both sides."

"So, there are three conditions?" Zhang Duyan said, "One is that I withdraw my troops, the other is that I will no longer ask about my private feud, and the third is that I will be a brother with Meng Laoqi? - If these three conditions are met, Meng Laoqi will be attached to me, and Qingyunbao can return to me?"

"That's right." Chu Tianya said, "Master Zhang Zhai, these are not a loss to you. Isn't it?"

"It sounds like a profitable business." Zhang Duan grinned at the corners of his mouth and stared at Chu Tianya, one eye slightly, and said word by word, "But why do I believe you? What should I do if you use a delaying plan to help Qingyunbao attack me?

"I guarantee the reputation of Qixing Mountain, but he won't." Xiao Linglong suddenly said, "In addition, he entered the castle, and I stayed here as a hostage. Is Zhang Zhai's owner so credible?"

Zhang Duan suddenly changed his face and said with a smile, "What are you talking about, Princess Xiao? Can I still trust the nobles of Qixing Mountain? As the saying goes, it is indispensable to guard against others. In order to think about the lives of the brothers in the village, I have to be cautious!"

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

"Cough!--" Zhang Duanzuan coughed dryly and said, "Brother Chu, since even Princess Xiao is insured for you, it is difficult for me not to believe you. In fact, who is really willing to fight and bleed every day all year round? If I can resolve the resentment with Qingyunbao and take it back to my ancestral business, I can't ask for it. I can agree to all the three conditions you mentioned. However, I also have three conditions.

"Please tell me." Chu Tianyadao.

Zhang's one-eyed cunning smile and said, "First, everyone from Qingyunbao to Meng Laoqi is obedient to me, and from now on, I will be respected. I can make a brotherhood with Meng Laoqi, and I promise not to pursue the blood feud of that year. However, he can only be a leader under my seat and can't sit on an equal footing with me.

Chu Tianya nodded, "I can't make the decision on this. I can only mention it to Mengzhai. Go on."

"Second, on the day of peace talks, Qingyunbao must first hand over all the weapons; Ding Qingzhuang, a man in the whole castle, wants the troops to welcome them empty-handed." Zhang Duyan said, "It's impossible to guard against others. What if Meng Laoqi fraudulently surrenders and suddenly launches a blow to me? Brother Chu, what do you think?"

When Ma Yan, Xiao Linglong and others heard this, they all frowned. Chu Tianya was even more angry in his heart. He wished to kill this cunning and vicious Zhang one-eyed on the spot. But at least he resisted, nodded and said, "I will also mention this condition to the owner of Mengzhai."

"As for the third condition..." Zhang Duyan touched his chin and smiled. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Linglong and said, "I have a lot of connections with Qixing Mountain. It's a family. After the unification of the 18 villages of Xishan this time, I would like to lead the people to return to Qixing Mountain and join forces to fight against the golden soldiers. But the premise is--"

Zhang Duan looked up and pointed to Xiao Linglong, "Princess Xiao, she must marry me!"

"What?" Ada and Anu roared angrily on the spot and rushed to Zhang's one-eyed side.

Several leaders of the monk's cave at his deskmate also suddenly reacted, lit up the weapons placed under the table, protected them together, and pointed the weapons at Ada and Anu.

Chu Tianya's teeth were biting, and Ma Yan's fist was also pinched.

Xiao Linglong's eyes are like spitting fire, and she is about to attack.

The atmosphere at the scene, the tension and killing reached the extreme, and it was on the verge of breaking out!

"Hahaha!" Zhang Duan suddenly laughed loudly, "What are you doing? Huh?! - He also said reconciliation and tried his best to fight against gold. If you look down on me like this and can't trust my one-eyed eyes, then you can't talk about it!"

After saying that, he patted the wine table angrily, "Come on, beat the drum and fight!" At all costs, capture Qingyunbao immediately! - Don't let this lobbyist and Qixingshan's friends think that we don't have the ability to take down the castle and flatten my monk's cave!"

This time, Chu Tianya just sat quietly and stopped him without saying a word. Because Zhang's one-eyed conditions are really explicit and harsh - with Xiao Linglong's marriage to him as a threat!

Other conditions can be bargained, or enter the village and discuss with the owner of Mengzhai to make a random decision; only in this matter, Chu Tianya can't make an idea for Xiao Linglong!

Several copycat leaders rushed out aggressively and issued an order.

"Wait!" Xiao Linglong suddenly stood up.

"Hight!" Zhang Duyan suddenly looked happy and drank the leaders. He turned to Xiao Linglong and said, "Princess Xiao, do you have something to say?"

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

"You're crazy!!" Chu Tianya couldn't help it any longer. He patted the case and said angrily, "That's all. There's no need to talk about it!"

"Ha! - Hahaha!" Zhang Duyan suddenly laughed wildly, and then Douran stopped laughing. He stared at Chu Tianya with a fierce face and said in a low voice, "My territory, it's not your turn to shout recklessly - what are you? I have nothing to do with Qingyunbao, Qixing Mountain and Princess Xiao. It's your turn to take care of it? You'd better shut up! - If it hadn't been for Brother Ma, I would have ruined you now!"

Xiao Linglong frowned slightly and looked at Chu Tianya with beautiful eyes, and her face was extremely complicated. Chu Tianya stared at her with wide eyes, completely ignoring the arrogant existence of Zhang Yi's eyes, as if to read the answer from her eyes.

"I said, no one can stop me from doing what I want to do." Xiao Linglong met Chu Tianya's eyes without hesitation, whispered but resolutely, "For this, I can do this at all costs!"
