Chapter 196 Continue to cheat

When Chu Tianya came to the magistrate's office, Zhang Xiaochun had been waiting for him for a long time. He even leaned against the door like a woman waiting for her husband to come home. The anxiety is overflowing with words.

Seeing that Chu Tianya brought 500 riders with him, Zhang Xiaochun was still a little nervous. As soon as he sat down, he advised Chu Tianya to restrain his temper and not to ruin the national affairs with his feelings.

"Don't worry, Zhang Zhifu. Anyway, Chu is also a general awarded by the court, and he has his own score in his heart." Chu Tianya said relaxedly, "More importantly, I won't make it difficult for Zhang Zhifu. We are born to death friends, right?

"That's, that's it." Zhang Xiaochun was relieved and said with a smile, "The superior general's wisdom is like a sea, and the subordinate should not have been so talkative. However, the envoy of the State of Jin this time is unusual. It is not the subordinate who wants to grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige. The messenger sent by the State of Jin this time... should be a person who can be comparable to the general. Compared with him last year, Yelu Yujian is a pure straw bag.

"Oh, is it possible that Wanyan Zonghan came in person?" Chu Tianya laughed.

"That's not so much." After Zhang Xiaochun finished speaking, the words immediately turned around, "But it's equivalent to Wanyan Zonghan coming in person!"

"Why do you have to sell it?"

"The mastermind of the Western Court of the State of Jin and the first think tank under Wanyan Zonghan, Shi Li Ai!"

"Is it him? I've heard of it for a long time." Chu Tianya smiled indifferently and said, "I heard that Shi Liai is a great person. Princess Xiao has mentioned him to me more than once. This man is an old minister of the State of Liao. He came from a rich and noble family. When he was young, he was famous for being resourceful, erudite and talented. Later, he was admitted to Jinshi, the governor of the Liaoxing Army and the capital of the Han army. He was a talented person who ruled the army on the horse and the people under the horse.

"It seems that the general has spent some time studying Jin Guo!" Zhang Xiaochun said, "The subordinate has seen Shi Liai once, but he has not officially started formal state affairs consultations. Shi Liai is full of joy and anger, and his words and deeds are watertight. The subordinate feels that he is a powerful character who is extremely talented and far-reaching in the city. Wanyan Zonghan sent him to Taiyuan, which can be said to be ulterior motives. It can't be said that it is to pave the way for another invasion. I'm afraid the purpose of Shi Liai's arrival is more to spy on our reality.

"We thought of this layer at the first time. How could Wanyan Zonghan and Shi Liai not think of it?" Chu Tianya smiled and said, "So I don't think Shi Li'ai came here to spy on military information."

"Why is that?"

"When you see him, won't you understand naturally?"

"Good." Zhang Xiaochun stood up and said, "The subordinate arranges for the general to meet with him as soon as possible."

"No." Chu Tianya smiled mysteriously and got up and said, "Although Chu has the false title of a general, after all, he is not a feudal official, and he does not have any power granted by the court. If you really want to discuss the state affairs of the two countries, after all, it is not good for me to come forward. In order to avoid jokes from the barbarian envoys, it's better for Zhang Zhifu to inform him and discuss state affairs with him!"

"The general has come. Why don't we discuss it together?"

Chu Tianya smiled and said, "I have an idea - Shi Liai has never seen me and doesn't know me. I will pretend to be the personal bodyguard next to Zhang Zhifu and accompany you to the meeting. There is a saying called Bystander Qing. Maybe I can make any special discoveries at that time?

"Well...all right!" Zhang Xiaochun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Brother Chu, you are the only one who is still in the mood to do something unexpected on such a crucial occasion. It's getting late today. Brother Chu has been working hard. Please take a rest first. Tomorrow, the subordinate will arrange a meeting with the envoy of the State of Jin!"

"Good."

After dinner, Chu Tianya did not stay in the restaurant arranged by Zhang Xiaochun, but returned to the old house of the Chu family.

Although there is no one living here, it is not deserted at all. On the contrary, it is well maintained. The neighbors come here to clean up as soon as they have time. Not only are the furniture houses clean, but even the tiles on the roof are neat and clean, and there is no weed in the courtyard. The osmanthus tree was obviously given special care, surrounded by fences, and its branches and leaves were neatly trimmed.

When Chu Tianya came, he only brought Anu and Xiaofei and a few other guards. Not long after opening the door and entering, several neighbors came to visit the house. Seeing that it was Chu Tianya, they were overjoyed and greeted them enthusiastically.

Chu Tianya knows them, and he is indeed a neighbor of the old Chu family. Survivors of the last Battle of Taiyuan!

Life and death, sharing difficulties, and being an old neighbor for many years, there is nothing more intimate than this. At their invitation, Chu Tianya, who had already had a feast in the magistrate's office, went to the neighbor's house as a guest. I drank a few bowls of wine, ate a few snacks, and listened to their gossip. I was quite relaxed and felt the warmth that I had not seen for a long time.

When I went home to rest, the moon was already empty. The tall Anu stood at the door like a door god and waited for Chu Tianya, telling him that there were guests to visit.

Seeing that Anu's expression was a little strange, Chu Tianya entered the hospital without asking much. At a glance, I saw that under the osmanthus tree where Xiao Linglong often stopped at the beginning, there stood a man, a woman.

There is a bird of prey with bright eyes standing on her shoulder, Hai Dongqing.

"Pearl? Why are you here?" Chu Tianya still felt a little surprised.

Pearl turned around and looked at Chu Tianya. The previous unruly and heartless look was gone, replaced by unprecedented complexity and confusion.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Chu Tianya felt more and more strange. It seems that Pearl, who is standing in front of him today, has never known him.

Pearl still didn't say anything, but took two steps closer to Chu Tianya, stood in front of him, and looked at him without blinking.

Anu stepped forward and shouted, "Demon, step back!"

Chu Tianya raised his hand and said to Pearl, "Do you have something to say to me?"

Pearl nodded.

"Come with me."

Chu Tianya took her to the main hall of the back hall and discussed with Bai Xu Xiao Linglong how to save Xue Yu for the first time.

After sitting down, Pearl sat quietly with a cup of tea in her hands, staring at the hot steam, and was speechless for a long time.

Chu Tianya felt more and more surprised and said, "If you have anything, just say it. It's not the Pearl I know now.

"I think so too." Pearl finally opened her mouth and looked up at Chu Tianya. She said, "I seem to have a lot to say to you, but when I see you, I don't know where to start. I was not like this before. There has never been anything I dared not do or say.

"Then just say it. What are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid." There was a trace of sadness in Pearl's eyes, "I am..."

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know either!" Pearl sighed and turned her head.

Chu Tianya seems to understand in his heart. What can make a person's temperament change greatly is not only major setbacks and blows, but also emotional troubles.

Thinking about this, Chu Tianya couldn't help crying in his heart - Bai Yu, you dog-headed military division, you really made me miserable! I'm afraid Pearl really thinks that I'm in love with her! ...Then, she was also moved by me!

"Actually, I know that most of you are just cheating on me and trying to take advantage of me." Pearl suddenly said this, which surprised Chu Tianya, but she immediately said, "But I still want to ask clearly if you..."

"You don't have to ask." Chu Tianya interrupted her decisively, "Since you know everything, what else do you ask?"

"Now the wolf master (Wanyan Zonghan) has sent Shi Liai to personally verify the authenticity of the military situation. My detailed work has lost the value of utilization for the wolf owner and you. Pearl said, "I have become dispensable. When I go back, I may be executed by the wolf owner for the dereliction of duty of lying about military information. The rules of wolf teeth have always been extremely strict. Before I was executed, I just wanted to know if you liked me, even a little bit, even in a short moment?

Chu Tianya sighed in his heart and said, "Is it heavy?"

"Important." Pearl stared at Chu Tianya's eyes unswervingly, "Because I'm so old, I haven't loved anyone or been loved. I really want to know what the legendary love is like.

"Aren't you and Qiu's brother and sister? You once said that he has always liked you very much. Chu Tianya said.

"He is purely my brother's care and connivance for my sister, and he has never been a man and a woman." Pearl said lightly, "In everyone's eyes, I'm just a heartless, capricious and even a little shameless witch. But over the years, I have never had any close contact with any man, let alone anyone. If I go back this time, I will be executed, and I will be very unwilling. Isn't it a great sadness because I don't know what love is all my life?

Chu Tianya completely heard it. Pearl's subtext is - I'm moved by you.

"Is this the only purpose for you come to me?" Chu Tianya asked.

"Yes. Do you think I'm here to spy on you again?" Pearl nodded, "I came to Taiyuan with Shi Liai. Although Langya only listens to the punishment of the wolf owner, Shi Li Ai is the most trusted confidant and think tank of the wolf owner. He is authorized by the wolf owner and dares to restrain and sanction us. I saw that Shi Liai was dissatisfied with me. He kept asking about all the situation after the three of us entered Qixing Village. I can't answer a lot of things, because you have been on guard, so I really don't know. But he felt that I was deliberately hiding it, so he no longer trusted me.

"It seems that the white alienation plan has worked, especially when he said that Yan Daike was pregnant with my child... This is really poisonous! Wanyan Zonghan really can't trust you. Otherwise, he would not have sent Shi Liai to come here in person. Chu Tianya said, "Since you know that there is no good result after going back, are you still going to die?"

"If I don't go back, where can I go? ..." Pearl said softly, with a rare resentment and helplessness in her voice. "Maybe I can't get out again as soon as I go back tonight. Shi Li Aixin can't believe me. I just sneaked out of the post hall.

Chu Tianya knew that Pearl was asking him for help. She doesn't want to go back to Jin, she doesn't want to go back to die, and she doesn't even want to go back to Guanyi in Taiyuan and back to Shi Li Ai.

She is actually waiting, a reason to stay with Chu Tianya.

At this moment, Chu Tianya's heart is a little entangled: Should I trust her? Shi Liai is a very scheming person. It is hard to say whether Pearl is a "second undercover agent" sent by him. Although this is unlikely, the more impossible it is to happen, the greater the risk. In addition, if you leave her now, it is equivalent to continuing to deceive her in the name of love; if you let her go back and don't leave her, she will die again.

Having experienced many life and death, Chu Tianya has also killed people with his own hands. He didn't care too much about the life and death of one or two people. But if Pearl is killed by Wanyan Zonghan, he will not feel better. After all, she had no malice towards Chu Tianya, nor did she really do anything to hurt him and destroy Qixingzhai. On the contrary, she seems to take a farce she directed by herself seriously; after the dog-headed military master Bai Shu came up with a bad idea to lie to her, she seemed to be more and more into the play, and even wanted to do it more fake.

The most indebted debt in the world is the love debt. Although Chu Tianya didn't want to really deceive Pearl's feelings, the truth is... I don't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me!

"Damn it, that dead fox, I had to skin him when I went back!" The more Chu Tianya thought about it, the more entangled he became, and he couldn't help scolding.

"What did you say?" Pearl was surprised.

"Nothing." Chu Tianya smiled bitterly, "Zer, you can't go back at all. Isn't it good to escape far away and live a brand-new life?

Pearl's expression faded in an instant.

Chu Tianya suddenly stopped in his heart: What a stinky mouth! ...The emotional woman is the most **. If I say so, isn't it equivalent to refusing to let her return to Qixingzhai?

"I know. You don't have to say it." Pearl stood up and walked out. Her voice was frozen to the point. "As for how I live in the future, it's my business and has nothing to do with you."

"Wait a minute." Chu Tianya got up.

Pearl stopped and turned her back to Chu Tianya, "What else?"

Chu Tianya walked to Pearl with a trace of shame on his face. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to deceive you. The reason why I did something that made you misunderstand is that you are sent by Jin Guo. Treat others carefully and treat them in their own way, that's all.

"I understand. You don't have to explain." Pearl smiled indifferently, and her smile was pale. "Although I have thought of the answer for a long time, I still want to thank you. At least, you clearly made me give up. I can do it, too. I'll do what I should do without worry.

"You can also go back to Qixingzhai." Chu Tianya said, "Since Wanyan Zonghan wants to kill you, you are a friend of Qixingzhai. No matter what your previous identity is, we can accept you with an open mind.

"No." Pearl lowered her head and said softly, "I'd rather go back to the north to die than go back there."

"Why..." Chu Tianya was very puzzled.

"Because that's where I was moved for the first time in my life, and it was also the place where I was really hurt." Pearl lowered her head and said to herself, "I'm not afraid of being ashamed and going through hardships, or even death. But I'm afraid... my heart hurts!"

Chu Tianya's heart seemed to have been pierced by something. The feeling of guilt, pity and slight pain surged up together.

"I'm leaving... Just be, I've never been here." After saying this, Pearl strode out of the hall and ran away.

Chu Tianya was stunned for a moment and shouted, "Anu, stop her!"

Anu and the guards thought it was to catch the assassin, and as soon as they rushed up, they took Pearl down.

"Gone go!" Chu Tianya shouted forward, and A Nu and others hurriedly let go.

Pearl stood still, biting her lips and looking at Chu Tianya, stubbornly holding back tears.

"Anu, you step back."

Anu nodded, looked at Pearl with vigilance and hesitation, and withdrew from the yard with the guards.

"Am I stupid? It's a simple lie, but I have to take it seriously. Pearl said word by word.

"Otherwise, you'd better go back to Qixingzhai with me!" Chu Tianya tried to pretend to be relaxed and said with a smile, "In fact, we like to see you judge the case with your thighs. It's funny and fun."

"What else?" A star of hope flashed in Pearl's eyes.

"And... Wanyan Daike and your brother are also here. They have all defected to Qixingzhai, and they are no longer wolf teeth. Chu Tianya said, "Don't you want to be with them?"

"Is there anything else?" Pearl stared at Chu Tianya, and her eyes gradually became hot.

"You can start a new life there and live there with your true face." Chu Tianya said, "Although there will be expeditions and killings, sorrows and hates in the future, these are really personal things that belong to you. You can really live for yourself, not as a tool and eagle dog.

"Is there nothing else?" Pearl looked at Chu Tianya quietly, and there seemed to be a flame jumping in her eyes.

It's not that Chu Tianya didn't see what she was expecting. But his heart has long been full of Xiao Linglong. Recently, he suddenly spread a crazy rosefinch... What kind of position can he find to put Pearl?

Taking a deep breath, Chu Tianya had to say, "Then what else do you want?"

"Can I say it?" Pearl said. The tone was almost begging.

"Say it!"

"Can you continue to lie to me?" Pearl said, "Just like you lie to me when you turn around and throw a pen in front of the execution room of the Military Machine Hall. Do you cheat me a little longer?"

Chu Tianya was stunned.

This is the most nonsensical and sad and helpless request he has ever heard.

"Is it okay?" Pearl raised her head slightly and looked at Chu Tianya seriously, and a string of tears slowly slipped down in her eyes.

Even if he has the courage to face the pressure of Mount Tai and thousands of troops and horses, at this moment, Chu Tianya can't look directly into Pearl's eyes.

He raised his head and saw the round of cold moon hanging in the dark sky.

"Why don't you talk?" Pearl let her tears slowly slide down and said quietly, "Do I really hate you so much? You don't even disdain to lie to me?"

"I'm thinking..." Chu Tianya took a deep breath and looked at Pearl, "We, maybe we can have a try!"

Pearl's expression was instantly fixed.

Chu Tianya looked at her, with a slight smile on the corners of his mouth.

Pearl suddenly rushed into Chu Tianya's arms and cried unscrupulously.

......

At this moment, Anu outside the courtyard also looked up at the ring moon and sighed sincerely.

"Princess, you're right. There can't be only one woman around him... Since you knew this, why did you have to?"
