Song Xiao

Chapter 168 Shentian Yunxia

The sunrise in the east is gorgeous in the morning. In the sound of the salute, dozens of horns were blown on the platform in front of Qingyun Hall, and tens of thousands of people cheered!

The high-profile Qingyunbao Dragon Boat Festival has finally begun.

The first person to step on the stage was Baixu. He personally wrote a Meifu as the opening of today's conference, starting from Qu Yuan of the State of Chu to today's anti-gold saving of the country. He sprinkled thousands of words, and the words were gorgeous, impassioned but not vulgar, and won the praise of a blockbuster.

There are two rows of seats on both sides of the platform. Chu Tianya sits on the first seat of the right hand, next to the horse expansion. The first two seats opposite were empty, and Xue Yu sat in the third chair. One of the two vacancies belongs to Baixu, and the other is arranged for Jiao Wentong.

Meng De's eyes stared at the empty position from time to time, and his face was a little annoyed and impatient. When Bai Xun praised Fu Wen halfway, he couldn't help saying to Chu Tianya, "Brother, Jiao Wentong is out of the line!"

Chu Tianya raised his hand gently to signal him not to be angry. He smiled and said, "That's all, everyone has their own aspirations."

"Huh! ..." Meng De snorted angrily and looked at Xue Yu and Xiao Linglong sitting opposite him. Seeing that their faces were also embarrassed and melancholy, he sighed and said, "Brother, you can get married with Princess Xiao in a few days! I think she has been haggard a lot recently, and it is also caused by Jiao Wentong. At this time, you get married to her without any harm.

"I'll think about it." Chu Tianya nodded gently and looked at Xiao Linglong in a blink of an eye. Xiao Linglong bowed her head thoughtfully and didn't notice the attention of Chu Tianya.

At this moment, Bai Qi on the stage shouted, "The dragons can't be headless!" Xiaosheng suggested that today, all our brothers should choose a big leader who can lead Qunlun and be my lord!!"

Bai Shu said the word "Master" with special emphasis, which obviously emphasized the particularity of this name.

Immediately, Meng De, Ma Yu and others, as well as the leaders who had a tacit understanding in their hearts, waved and shouted together - "Lord, Lord!"

Zhang Xiaochun, the governor of Taiyuan, and others, who sat on both sides to watch the ceremony, would smile without saying a word.

"Next, starting with the leaders present, we will recommend the best candidates one by one. Each person is limited to one!" After saying that, Bai Shu stepped back a few steps and arched his hand to the seats on both sides, "Your leaders, please!"

Meng De stood up and walked to the stage and punched everyone around him. "Meng De came first - someone elected Taiyuan Chu Tianya to be the leader of Xishan and our master!!"

The stage suddenly cheered and shouted the name of Chu Tianya!

Immediately, more than 100 people, including Ma Yan, Xue Yu, Wang Xun and others, as well as the large and small leaders and officers of the Shengjie Army, including the people's representatives who defected to Qingyunbao, stood on the stage to support Chu Tianya and supported the election of him as the great leader.

Even Zhang Xiaochun and others, who knew the inside story, thought that the overall situation had been decided, and they got up one after another to express their "wances" to Chu Tianya.

Chu Tianya sat still and looked at the opposite side with a smile.

There is still a row of people sitting there, Bai Xu, Xue Yu, Xiao Linglong and Tang Ang, followed by a group of leaders from various villages in Taihang, such as Liang Xing, Fu Xuan, Liu Ze and other generations, and more than 20 people.

A strange scene appeared. Meng De and others were cheering loudly, and this group of people were surprisingly silent.

Meng De also noticed it. He looked at Bai Wei in surprise and waved his hand, "Brothers, be quiet! - Mr. Bai seems to have something to say?"

"That's right." Under the gaze of the crowd, Bai Zhi got up and walked to the stage, bowed to everyone, and said, "Xiaosheng has another candidate to recommend."

"Who is it?" Like Meng De, everyone was surprised. Because everyone knows that Bai Zhi is one of the most staunch supporters of Chu Tianya. Is it possible that at this juxu, Bai Qi wants to turn against the water?

Bai Xun's face looked around everyone and said quietly, "On behalf of these people behind me, I also recommend... Taihang God Arrow Jiao Wentong, be the leader of Xishan!"

"Wang--"

There was a sudden sound of shock at the scene!

Meng De was stunned and stared at Bai Xun, as if he had never known him. "You...what are you talking about?"

Bai Xun took a deep breath and shouted, "Xiaosheng represents the leader of Taihang Jiushan Village, and also promotes Taihang Shenjian Jiao Wentong to be the leader of Xishan!"

Everyone is very surprised!

There was a lot of discussion under the stage. The scene was almost out of control.

Meng De was a little anxious. He stepped forward and shouted, "Mr. Bai, are you crazy?"

"The student is not crazy." Bai Yu was still calm, and even stared at Chu Tianya a few times and said, "Xiaosheng said it again - we want to promote Jiao Wentong to be our lord!"

Meng De was completely stunned. Even Zhang Xiaochun and others stood on the spot, but Chu Tianya was still sitting in the seat as before, with a soft smile on his face, and even a trace of gratitude in his eyes.

Meng De was already confused. He looked at Chu Tianya and then at Bai Qi. He didn't know what kind of riddle these two were playing!

At this time, Xue Yu, Xiao Linglong and others also stood up and walked to Bai Xu and said one after another, "Yes, we want to choose Jiao Wentong!"

After some arguments, the scene suddenly fell into a strange tranquility from the noise. Everyone stared at Chu Tianya, who was still sitting.

Chu Tianya naturally got up and walked to the stage, bowed to everyone with fists and said, "The brothers love Chu so wrongly, and Chu is full of gratitude. Chu himself is also one of the leaders present, so I also want to choose one person.

"Which one are you going to choose?"

Chu Tianya met everyone's eyes and said with a smile, "I choose - Chu Tianya!"

"Uh...what?" Everyone, including Meng De, was stunned again.

"You heard it right. I'm the one who chose me." Chu Tianya said with a smile, "If someone wants to ask me a reason, I will tell him - because I am fully confident that I am qualified for the position of a big leader!" I'm sure to lead my brothers to do a great career!"

The words are sonorous, and there is a sound!

Self-recommences like this have never appeared under the sky of the Song Dynasty. With this era, Cheng Zhu's science and a number of feudal dogma have been nurtured. Moderation, shurling, humility and courtesy are the mainstream ideas.

Therefore, Chu Tianya's words are too "non-mainstream" and too surprising to everyone.

However, almost everyone present felt a stream of blood boiling in their chests!

Although there are only a few words, Chu Tianya expresses his strong self-confidence and straightforward temperament. Strive for what you want, and don't let go if you like it - this is the rule that the green forest heroes who drink in big bowls and eat meat in big pieces are always respected!

"Good--" Meng De let out a hysterical cheer.

Immediately, get up and respond!

The conference of Qingyunbao reached a high tide in a strange and unexpected form.

Bai Xie and Xiao Linglong and others are silent and speechless, in sharp contrast to the jubilant crowd.

Chu Tianya was looking at Bai Wei, Xiao Linglong and others smiling, and the smile was full of gratitude and gratifying.

Perhaps, only the people in the game really understand the subtlety here.

Chu Tianya walked to Bai Xun and others, "Jingqian, where's Brother Jiao?"

Bai Wei smiled and said, "I'll be there soon. Together with Uncle He.

"Thank you..."

Bai Xun smiled again, "It's time to thank Uncle He."

It's not clear whether it's clear or not. The official "pushing of Jiao Wentong to the stage" and then "losing the election" is the best way to stabilize the position of Chu Tianya and dispel the doubts of the people.

How can others think of it? Including Zhang Xiaochun, who is proficient in power.

And this method is likely to come from Jiao Wentong's own instructions. Otherwise, how could Bai Xu, Xue Yu and Xiao Linglong stand together at the same time, with such a tacit understanding?

Sure enough, just as the conference was at its peak, there was a shout from the stage, "Taihang God Arrow, Jiao Wentong arrived!"

Everyone was shocked and turned their necks to look down the stage.

Sure enough, at the end of the two rows of seats, a tall man, dressed in black and with flying hair, wearing the bloody red robe of Guanshan, stepped forward.

Bai Xu, Xue Yu and others' eyes suddenly lit up and hurried forward to meet him, "Second brother!"

"Brothers, please forgive me. Jiao is late for some reason!" Jiao Wentong's eyes were shining and energetic. He strode to the stage and looked up at Chu Tianya.

Chu Tianya smiled and picked up his fist, "It's been a long time, Brother Jiao!"

"Jiao is rude!" Jiao Wentong hugged his fist and returned the salute. After looking at Chu Tianya deeply, he walked up to the stage and hugged everyone and said, "Today's meeting, all the brothers elected the leader together. Jiao didn't have to choose a name, and he felt ashamed. Ask yourself, Jiao really has no talent to be the leader of Xishan. Otherwise, the original Qixingzhai would not have been reduced to Si!"

It's just one word, and the whole audience is silent.

In Jiao Wentong's words, every word came to the point, and the layers of window paper were broken.

Bai Wei and others walked to Jiao Wentong's side and surrounded him. It's like a flock of lambs around the ewes.

Jiao Wentong looked around at them, with his father's unique kind smile on his face, and said, "Although the eldest brother has left us, he had a will before his death that let us respect Chu Tianya as the leader, and follow him from then on, heaven and earth!"

Chu Tianya was slightly stunned, and everyone looked at him again.

Jiao Wentong also stepped forward a few steps and walked to Chu Tianya. He punched him very solemnly and shouted loudly, "The lord is here, please be worshipped by Jiao Wentong!"

It's really like pushing Jinshan and pouring jade pillars. Jiao Wentong shook the big red robe behind him and worshipped Chu Tianya in public!

The whole scene is shocked again!

Bai Qi's reaction was the most alert. He immediately took a few steps forward and fell down at Jiao Wentong, "Bai Qi, see your lord!"

The others suddenly realized that they all fell down one after another and shouted - "Worship the Lord"!!

......

Under the eaves of Qingyuntang in the distance, He Bo saw this scene from afar with a pillar. He smiled and waved, "Xiaofei, go and get some good fruits and two pots of swords. I'm going to get drunk today!"

"Sir, I'm afraid two pots are not enough?" Xiao Fei smiled and said, "Your favorite apprentice shook hands with the official of Chu and cooperated sincerely. In addition, the official of Chu became the leader. This is a double happiness!"

"What a high-ranking official, you have to call the Lord!"

"Yes, yes, Lord, hey hey - the boy will go right away and bring the whole jar of good Jiannan Shaochun! Let's go to the old man today and get drunk!"

......

In Qingyunbao, the cannon flew with colorful flags, cheering like a tsunami, and the earthquake shook the mountain.

Chu Tianya, who is expected to become the leader of Qingyunbao, the lord of the 100,000 righteous soldiers in Hedong!

The other leaders of the Taihang villages that had been waiting to see before saw that the overall situation of Xishan was no longer worried about infighting, so they immediately seized the opportunity to announce that they would turn to Qingyunbao and was willing to be the "general under the command of the Lord". Although the eight cottages are not as strong as the seven-star village in the past, they also suffered huge losses in the battle of Taiyuan. Some of the leaders have almost become "light pole commanders", but after all, they are all influential figures on the green forest road in Hedong, and there are also five or six thousand people in the eight villages.

These five or six thousand horses, together with more than a dozen leaders with their own skills, such as Liang Xing, Fu Xuan and Liu Ze, joined Qingyunbao. On the first day of taking office, Chu Tianya received such a precious gift!

At the same time, Zhang Xiaochun, who specially came to watch the ceremony today, did not come to join in the fun. He took out an imperial edict that had already been discussed with Chu Tianya for a long time, and gave a "noon" to the big and small leaders of Xishan.

Although he is only a false sanitation officer, this honor is unattainable for mountain thieves. The vast majority of leaders and villagers who do not know the internal secrets and secrets are shocked!

Because this time, the title given by the court to Xishan was too "resounding".

Chu Tianya, the great leader, was awarded the title of "General Zuo Xiaowei". Although he did not have any real power, he was already at the highest level of "the capital" at the level. Only the royal clan or the meritorious generals of high-ranking officials will be awarded. In addition, there are seven "general" sanitation officials, who have been awarded to Jiao Wentong, Meng De, Bai Xu, Xue Yu, Ma Qian, Wang Xun and Tang Ang respectively. In response to Xiao Linglong, the court was also ingenious, deliberately named her the "Flying Fox Princess" of the Song Dynasty and gave her the surname "Zhao".

The meaning of the words is that you, Xiao Linglong, will be the people of the Song Dynasty in the future, or the "honorary royal family".

Of course, Xiao Linglong will not care about this inexplicable gift, but the political motivation of the Song Dynasty to do so made her feel a little embarrassed and annoyed - this handwriting is obviously like naming the wife of an important general as "Mrs. Erpin".

Everyone laughed tacitly and deliberately congratulated Xiao Linglong, which made her embarrassed and angry. She couldn't wait to kick Zhang Xiaochun to the ground and beat her on the spot before she could relieve her hatred.

Although there were twists and turns, the Dragon Boat Festival was finally over. Most people get drunk and have a good time.

The character "Chu" on Qingyun Hall was also officially unveiled.

On the same day, in Qingyun Hall, more than 170 leaders of all sizes in the cottage held a semi-public meeting to arrange the duties and seats of all the leaders. There are a total of 12 core leaders, and Chu Tianya is naturally the first; Jiao Wentong is second; Bai Xun ranks third because he is in charge of the military aircraft, and Meng De is fourth. These four people will also form the Xishan Military Machinery Department to jointly participate in and decide on various important matters and military aircraft affairs.

Below these four people, Ma Yan, Xue Yu, Xiao Linglong, Wang Xun and Tang An;

Then there are the newly joined Liang Xing, Fu Xuan and Liu Ze. The three of them represent the volunteers of other Taihang Bazhai. Although their strength is not as good as the original Qixingzhai, their influence in the Hedong area cannot be underestimated. These three are the more prestigious leaders in Bazhai, and they were originally heads and faces on each side. As soon as they joined Xishan, they were absorbed as one of the "Twelve leaders". Naturally, they were overjoyed. At present, they expressed their willingness to convince the people of Chu Tianya any order, including abandoning the old village and joining the army. After discussing with the leaders, Chu Tianya weighed the pros and cons and let their eight villages into one. For the time being, they rested in Qixing Village and served as the "separate hall" of Qingyunbao in Taihang like a monk's cave. Liang Xing served as the leader of the branch hall, assisted by Fu Xuan and Liu Ze.

In addition, a draft was negotiated on the same day for the dispatch of soldiers and horses to the major leaders, including the formulation of various decrees and military regulations, and other affairs, waiting to be implemented one by one in the future.

......

After the Qingyunbao Conference that day, Zhang Xiaochun sighed: "The 100,000 people of the Hedong Rebel Army condensed from a plate of scattered sand overnight. I seem to have foreseen that a towering cloud building is about to start from the boundary of Hedong! - Chu Tianya is indeed better than ordinary people!"
