Chapter 93 Coexistence

The night is getting deeper, the north wind is still roaring, and the snow is falling one after another.

Chu Tianya and He Bo stood side by side under the eaves of the back hall and watched Xiao Linglong practice walking. Ada and Anu each took a shovel to clear the snow in the courtyard, and there were already several piles under the wall. Xiao Ai was busy boiling water in the kitchen for everyone to wash later, and then took out the burned charcoal and put it in the brazier for heating.

A lantern hung on the eaves porch and the bare osmanthus tree branches, swaying in the cold wind.

Xiao Linglong only wears a thin spring and autumn hat, concentrates on practicing body and footwork, and the temples are cold and stained.

"Wrong, practice three times." He Bo's voice became mechanical and cold.

Xiao Linglong gritted her teeth and had to walk the complicated steps again.

Chu Tianya watched her walk on the slippery and swaying wooden stakes, and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"This woman's perseverance is incomparable." Uncle He suddenly whispered, "To be honest, among the several apprentices I have taught, her qualifications are not the worst or the best. However, she is the one who is the most willing to suffer and persevere.

Chu Tianya nodded and asked, "He Bo, before, you said that you had only received three apprentices in total, that is, Tong Guan, Jiao Wentong and Xue Yu. But why did Wang also call you a teacher when he came to see you? I remember he also said that there were many generals in the Song Dynasty army, all from your door. What does that mean?

"I'm out of my own door, but it's not necessarily my apprentice." Uncle He smiled and said, "It's not a big secret. The old man will tell you. When the old man was in Tokyo, he served as a teacher at the Tokyo Imperial Boxing Hall and the son of Gongma, which is often referred to as a teacher. The Royal Boxing Hall and the son of Gongma are affiliated to the Privy Council and are specially designed to train military officers in the Song Dynasty. Because Wang Wei said that many generals in the Song Dynasty came out of their own way.

Chu Tianya couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Do you remember that Zhang Dong also held this position?"

"That's right." Uncle He nodded, "Lao Zhang added me, and there was another person, who was the three old teachers of the Royal Boxing Hall in those years. It can be said that more than half of the generals in the Song Dynasty can be regarded as our students. But there are only three people who officially worship me as apprentices. There is no need to say that Tong Guan stepped on two boats and worshipped me and Zhang Dong as his teacher at the same time. At the beginning, Jiao Wentong, who was also from a military martial arts family, went to Tokyo to study martial arts with Xue Yu. I was very close to him, so I accepted them as apprentices. In addition to the ordinary bow and horse boxing and foot courses and martial arts courses, Jiao Wentong is keen on archery, and Xue Yu specializes in swordsmanship, all of which have a skill. In fact, what I taught him was the archery and knife routine in Guanzhong Hongquan. Tong Guan is mainly practicing boxing and practicing the outer kung fu of horizontal skin film, which are also the same series of red boxing.

"No wonder I punched Tong Guan a few times at the beginning, and he recognized it at a glance." Chu Tianya said, "Guanzhong Red Fist, only listening to its name, I thought it was just a kind of boxing, but I didn't expect it to be a self-contained system, and there was no shortage of knives, guns, arrows and sticks. If you can specialize in one of them, you can also become a master like Jiao Wentong and Xue Yu. Uncle He, you are proficient in everything. Do you still have any opponents in the world?

"Hey hey, they are blue out of blue." He Bo laughed and said, "If the apprentice I taught is not as good as me, what should I teach him? In fact, among the three escorts at the beginning, I had the worst reputation and the lowest achievement. The other two can be called a generation of masters. Only when I didn't act obediently, I finally followed Fang La's rebellion and became a thief.

Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Prove that the old man has personality and doesn't take the ordinary road."

"Hey hey!" Uncle He was also amused and said with a smile, "Life is full of vegetation, very short. The old man has always been a happy and enmity. Of course, this has both advantages and disadvantages. But there is an old man who is sure that no matter what I have done in the end, I will never regret it! Because that's all my own choice, and no one forced me.

Chu Tianya nodded silently and said to himself that if he could really "nonely regret", people's life would be worth it.

At this moment, someone called the door outside the courtyard, and Uncle He went to answer. It turned out that the rice oil shop in the city sent the whole car of rice, salt, vegetable oil and other things. Uncle He went to greet these people, and Chu Tianya didn't join in the fun. He said to himself that Uncle He was really old-fashioned, and he had to ask someone to send him in the middle of the night. I heard that he recently invited someone to dig a new cellar, which is estimated to be full of food.

Xiao Linglong is still practicing meticulously. Chu Tianya glanced at Uncle He and went to the cellar, then took a hot towel and walked forward. Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Linglong was distracted and fell down with an unstable scream.

Chu Tianya hurriedly stretched out his arm to catch her and hugged her.

In a hurry, a palm covered her chest.

"Wow! - It's quite valuable!!" Marvel!

Without waiting to settle down, Xiao Linglong hurriedly turned around and got out of Chu Tianya's arms, and her face turned red.

"Let's take a break and wipe your sweat with a towel." Chu Tianya is as if nothing happened.

Xiao Linglong naturally won't take the initiative to mention it, but she was so ashamed that she didn't dare to face Chu Tianya. "Uh-huh" took the towel and wiped the sweat on her face.

Ada quickly took the thick coat and put it on, and then asked her to go to the stove in the room to warm up and rest. As soon as Xiao Ai boiled the boiling water, he made a few bowls of ginger soup and a pot of fragrant tea to dispel the cold with everyone.

Chu Tianya looked at Xiao Linglong a few times. Her face was still red. From time to time, she grabbed the skirt of her chest and wrapped herself tightly.

He couldn't help laughing in his heart. What's wrong with the heroine? Isn't it a little girl? ...By the way, she is really hidden. That feeling is so good!

"There will probably be chaos in the city tonight. Don't you go to the military patrol shop?" In order to break the embarrassment, Xiao Linglong finally found a topic.

"I don't need it for the time being." Chu Tianya replied, "Now that the gates have been closed, only the north gate is left for the victory and victory army to enter the city one after another. It is estimated that the news will not be officially spread until dawn."

Xiao Linglong subconsciously pulled her skirt again, as if she was worried that Chu Tianya's eyes would be transparent, covering her chest tightly.

Chu Tianya couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Linglong's face suddenly turned red to the root of her neck, and her apricot eyes stared angrily, "Don't laugh!"

"I'm not laughing! - Ha ha ha!"

"I really want to kill you with a knife!" Xiao Linglong gritted her teeth and scolded angrily.

Xiao Ai, who was coming in with a plate of candy, screamed in horror, and the dishes in his hand fell to the ground and fell to pieces!

"Look at you, you've scared Xiao Ai." Chu Tianya is very happy.

Xiao Linglong couldn't laugh or cry, and hurried to help Xiao Ai clean up the broken dishes. Xiao Ai quickly refused to let Xiao Linglong help, saying that this was a rough job done by the servants. How could the princess get involved?

"I haven't been a princess for a long time. Xiao Ai, don't call me that in the future. Xiao Linglong picked up the broken tiles on the ground one by one and said, "From today on, we are just friends in common trouble."

"Yes, yes, we are all friends and a family." Chu Tianya laughed at the gag.

"It has nothing to do with you!" Xiao Linglong said with indignation.

Xiao Ai blinked his big eyes leisurely, looked at Chu Tianya and then at Xiao Linglong, with a confused face.

At this moment, another guest came to the house. However, Liu Scar, the former Taiyuan catcher, took several military patrols and carried four big boxes.

Chu Tianya came forward and said in surprise, "Lao Liu, what did you carry?"

"It's Uncle He's family. He asked the villain to quietly send it at night." Liu Scar hurriedly closed the door of the yard. The messenger carried four large boxes to the hall and opened them. Three of them were filled with special wheat biscuits, bacon, dried meat and other things in the military. Only one box was filled with knife and gun wounds, washed spirits and drugs that were prepared in the army to deal with various epidemic diseases.

"These are all military assets. Where did you steal them?" Chu Tianya couldn't help smiling bitterly.

"Hey hey! Taibao is in power now. It's not too much to do this. It's not too much. Liu Scar smiled affectionately and said, "If Uncle He has an order, how dare the villain neglect it? At present, some are allocated from the military patrol materials. When I was young, Taibao would just get something to fill the vacancy. It's not too much, it's not too much.

Chu Tianya shook his head and smiled. He said to himself that Uncle He was really careful and quick. He had experienced a similar siege in Jiangnan Fangla. Of course, he knew what was going to happen next, so he made these preparations in advance. One of these wheat cakes or a piece of dried meat, it is estimated that after half a year, it will be a matter of human life...

At this time, Uncle He, who had just settled down the whole truck of food, came back. He entered the hall and looked at it and slapped his face on the spot, "Liu Scar, what are you doing so incompetent? There are only four boxes of things for a bird?

"Uh? ...If it's less, the villain will pick up some more." Liu Scar hurriedly apologized.

Liu Scar naturally doesn't know He Bo's true identity, but because the water is rising, Chu Tianya is now his immediate boss. How dare he neglect the old servant of Chu Tianya's family?

Chu Tianya smiled bitterly. This is a blatant use of power for personal gain!

Uncle He waved his hand impatiently, "Go quickly! Hurry up and get another 700 or eight kilograms of pickled venison and dried mutton at night!"

"Yes, the villain will go immediately!" Liu Scar didn't dare to neglect and left in a hurry.

Chu Tianya just smiled and didn't say much. Uncle He then greeted Ada and Anu and helped him send all these things to the cellar.

Xiao Linglong suddenly said, "I thought you would stop them from doing this."

"Why stop it?" Chu Tianya looked at her sideways and said indifferently.

"Aren't you always righteous and awe-inspiring, and you don't like some corrupt officials?" Xiao Linglong smiled sarcastically, "Why did you do this kind of thing yourself?"

"If you can't live, there is no way to talk about justice." Chu Tianya smiled indifferently. "In fact, it doesn't matter whether it's justice or evil. I never flaunted that I am a loyal and righteous person. Everything I do is to live, that's all.

"This is a big truth." Xiao Linglong smiled, "Actually, you are very poisonous and bad. It can be seen from the fact that you framed and killed Tong Guan!"

Chu Tianya suddenly smiled happily and almost came forward to hold Xiao Linglong's hand and said gratefully, "Comrade, you finally told the truth!"

"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Linglong was puzzled.

"Oh, you don't understand." Chu Tianya smiled and said nothing. He said that you finally didn't send me a good person card. What a blessing! - Men are not bad and women don't love. This is simply a subversive truth for thousands of years!

At this moment, there was a sudden nervous and rapid sound of carriages and horses on the streets outside the courtyard, and some people echoed hurriedly, mostly saying, "Hurry up, hurry up!" It's not so easy to get out of the city at dawn!"

Chu Tianya and Xiao Linglong walked to the door curiously and saw a row of carriages and horses driving towards the south gate in an emergency. There are about thirty or fifty people in the back.

"Look at this show, it should be a rich man or a high-ranking official in the city." Chu Tianya frowned and said, "It seems that the news has been leaked for a long time, so someone bought the generals guarding the city to escape overnight in advance."

"At dawn, I'm afraid there will be more people who want to escape." Xiao Linglong said, "There are more than a million people under the rule of Taiyuan Prefecture. I don't know how much will be left in the end. Seeing that they have taken a lot of things, why don't you take care of them?

" Most of the people who will escape are rich and senior officials who are greedy and afraid of death, and most of the people who take away are gold and silver treasures that can't eat and drink. These people and things are useless. Let them go!" Chu Tianya smiled indifferently, "I still agree with the proposition of the magistrate Zhang Xiaochun - those who want to leave will not stay, and those who are willing to stay are welcome. I also want to see how many people will stay and live with their homes in the end!"
