Chapter 282 Never Lose the Bend

Xiaota followed his own sister and walked slowly to the study of a strange man. She kept a calm smile all the way, but the uneasiness in her heart could not be hidden from herself.

The great responsibility of her trip can be said to be related to the fate of the Western Liao Dynasty and the Khitan family. Not long ago, Yelu Dashi tried his best to lead a group of people to cross the desert, climb the Tianshan Mountain, and settle down in the Western Regions. Then after countless dangers in big and small battles, he finally gained a firm foothold and established a new country.

At this moment, the foundation of Western Liao is like being built on sand, surrounded by strong enemies, which may be destroyed at any time.

The hardships and dangerous situation of entrepreneurship are well known to Xiaota. The real intention of her trip is to form the Song Dynasty under the guise of the peace alliance and the cutting of gold, and to rely on foreign aid and backing. In that case, the lonely Western Liao Kingdom has a greater possibility to survive in the Western Regions.

At present, Chu Tianya, Xiaota's "sup-to-sister-law", is about to become the most powerful person in the Song Dynasty. The most important thing is that he is strong under his command and can directly provide help to the Western Liao Kingdom. Among other things, if Chu Tianya can curb the State of Jin and contain Xixia, Xiliao can win a valuable opportunity to recuperate. If you can get a little help from Chu Tianya, it will be even more help.

The uneasantness in Xiaota's heart is like a relative of a family in distress who has come thousands of miles away to be rich. People are poor and short-sighted, and it's nothing more than this feeling.

At this time, Chu Tianya was sitting in the study reading a book, waiting patiently for Xiaota. A meeting at the banquet during the day gave him a clear understanding of the diplomatic attitude of Xixia and Xiliao. Xixia is strong, but he is not sincere, and they don't need Song as an ally. They just set up a stopgap measure to fish in the mixed water. In addition, Xixia and Song have been fighting with each other for a hundred years, and it is difficult to reach the sky if they want to establish an alliance, but it is easy to turn against each other.

That is to say, Xixia is not trustworthy. Maybe one day it will tear its face and fight to the death.

On the contrary, not to mention the sincerity of Xiliao, they are now in great need of an ally and a foreign aid. From this point of view, the usable value of Xiliao is far better than that of Xixia.

At present, Chu Tianya is like an investor, holding capital and quietly watching and comparing. Finally, it is necessary to choose a support and cage object between Xixia and Xiliao. At present, it is necessary to unite some forces as much as possible to fight against the Golden State, which is a short-term gain. In the long run, it is best to let them fight against each other to achieve containment and internal consumption.

In this way, the Song Dynasty can collect profits by watching the fire across the shore.

......

Everyone has their own wishes in their hearts. Everyone wants to get more benefits and become the ultimate winner. Chu Tianya doesn't want to make a fair investment for others. Yelu Dashi played the family love card for him. Chu Tianya's idea was to make a plan.

"Due Du Du", the door of the study was knocked.

"Tianya, can we come in?" It's Xiao Linglong's voice.

Chu Tianya closed the book, "Please come in."

The two women entered the house and covered the door. Xiaota bowed down, "I've seen His Royal Highness the King of Luoyang."

"The queen doesn't have to be polite." Chu Tianya returned the salute, "There is no outsider here. Chu should treat you with the courtesy of brother and sister-in-law."

"I dare not do it." Xiao Ta's face turned red and he hurriedly returned the salute.

Xiao Linglong smiled and said, "Sister, you don't have to be so polite. He is a casual person."

"Okay, please sit down." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "The royal sister has come all the way to Zhongtu. I can't be surprised, but it's a sin. Now that you're here, you might as well stay for a little more time, and let me have the friendship with the flying fox.

"The prince is so polite. When my concubine arrived in Luoyang, I felt very kind. Xiaota took Xiao Linglong's hand and smiled with a spring breeze on his face. "It's really lucky to meet my sister again in this life and learn that she married such a good husband!"

Xiao Linglong laughed a few times like a little girl, "Well, don't be polite to your family. Tianya, sister, you two should discuss state affairs. I'll leave first.

"You don't have to go. Listen here." Chu Tianyadao.

Xiao Ta's face turned red and he looked at Xiao Linglong eagerly. Obviously, he didn't want her to leave, leaving her and Chu Tianya, a pair of lonely men and women, in the fighting room.

"I'd better go!" Xiao Linglong stood up and said gently but firmly, "It's a matter of diplomatic relations between the two countries. It's quite confidential. I don't have the right to listen or interfere. After you finish talking, let's talk about family affection in private.

"It's good." Chu Tianya did not insist.

Xiao Linglong left.

Xiaota doesn't sit alone without squinting, which is quite cramped.

Chu Tianya sat down next to her and said with a relaxed smile, "Queen, let's get straight to the point!"

"Good."

"I want to know the purpose of Juerhan's sending you to the Song Dynasty?" Chu Tianya said, "There are many ears and eyes during the day, so it's inconvenient to speak frankly. Now it's just you and me in the same room. There is my personal guard outside, but there are no idle people within a hundred steps. It's okay for you to say it bluntly.

"This..." Xiaota's heart suddenly accelerated. Chu Tianya's opening remarks directly pierced her mind.

"What, the queen has any concerns?" Chu Tianya smiled and said, "In public and private, the queen should tell you directly."

"Okay..." Xiaota didn't dare to look directly at Chu Tianya. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "To be honest, my country in Liao is now incompetent, and there are many internal worries around the external enemy, so there are many crises."

"That is to say, you are not strong at all to help me ask for the gold country, right?" Chu Tianyadao.

Xiao Ta's eyebrows twisted and bit his lips, and nodded gently. "I dare not deceive the prince. The truth is true... Although Ju Erhan has the ambition to recover Liao and recover his homeland, it is still difficult to protect himself now. How can he fight for thousands of miles?"

"It's okay, at least you told me the truth." Chu Tianya nodded with a smile, "If you tell me that you have really prepared tens of thousands of iron riders to help me cut gold at any time, then I really fall asleep and wake up with a smile. How can a small country in the Western Regions, which has just been established and has not even established its foundation, come from such a divine power?

Xiaota's face blushed to the root of his neck, and his head hung down. A pair of beautiful and bright eyes were misty, as if tears were about to overflow.

When Chu Tianya saw her appearance of pear blossoms and rain, she was quite similar to Xiao Linglong. So the difference is that even if Xiao Linglong's tears flow out, she is still stubborn and will never be soft; her sister Xiaota is not smoking, which is a typical gentleness like water. The two sisters have completely opposite personalities.

"Excuse me, queen. I'm straightforward and say whatever I think." Chu Tianya said, "Xiliao is in a difficult situation. Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I can completely imagine it. Juerhan sent his beloved wife to the Song Dynasty, which showed that he was also very sincere to form an alliance with me. I just want to know what you can do for us and what do you need us to provide?

The last sentence made Xiaota's heart ecstatic and his eyes lit up. She turned her face in panic and looked at Chu Tianya, "Does the prince really want to know?"

"Of course." Chu Tianya smiled indifferently. The panic and eagerness shown by Xiaota Buchan made him very useful.

This is the charm of power.

"My concubine dares not deceive the prince. Before leaving, Juerhan personally wrote a handwritten letter and told him to submit it under the command of the King of Luoyang!" Xiao Tabuyan quickly took out a letter, got up from his seat and bowed to Chu Tianya. He raised the letter above his head with both hands and presented it in front of Chu Tianya.

Chu Tianya did not refuse her worship. He smiled lightly at the corners of his mouth. He stretched out his right hand and two fingers to pick up the letter, but did not unfold it and put it on the table.

When Xiao Tabuyan saw Chu Tianya's look, he couldn't help but be frightened. He knelt down and dared not get up. He asked in a low voice with a frightened face, "Your Highness, what does this mean?"

"To be honest, I have neither interest nor a good impression on Juer Khan." Chu Tianya said lightly, "Calculations, he can also be said to be my enemy."

Xiao Ta's whole body trembled and knelt down a little unsteadily, so he held it to the side with his hand.

Chu Tianya got up and put his hands on her shoulders. "Queen, please get up."

In such a fighting room, Xiaota, the queen, was contacted by a strange man. He couldn't help blushing and shivering, but he had to stand up according to his words. He stood sideways confused and worried, and did not dare to look directly at Chu Tianya.

Chu Tianya smiled indifferently and said leisurely as he paced slowly, "Flying Fox is about to become my princess. Her father-killing enemy is also my enemy. From a personal point of view, there is absolutely no reason for me to give any help to Yelu Dashi. On the contrary, my father's hatred is irrespective. I should help Feihuer kill Yelu Dashi with my own hands, which is in line with the secular nature of our Han people. Queen, do you think Chu's words are reasonable?

"That's exactly what the prince said..." Xiao Ta's eyebrows were deeply locked, as if it had evoked a sad past. He sighed, "In those years, the Daliao Dynasty was in danger, and my father and Dashi had serious differences in political opinions. At that critical moment, the two of them coincidentally chose to kill and decisively get rid of each other. The result was... my father was defeated, and Dashi won. Do the prince's words remind me that I have been recognizing the thief as my father over the years and don't want revenge?

"I also mean it." Chu Tianya did not avoid it and said bluntly, "No matter what kind of intention and purpose, your father died in a coup launched by Yelu Dashi. Maybe Dashi does these things with a public heart, but in the final analysis, the enemy is an enemy, and he can't be regarded as a relative.

Xiaota sighed for a long time and lowered his head.

"Of course, since it's a business, it has to be a business, not all on a selfish heart." Chu Tianya sat down and said slowly, "At present, I really need more allies and external forces to help me fight against Jurchin; and Dashi also needs me to provide him with protection and help. At least for now, there is a common interest between the two of us. You might as well put those private feuds aside for the time being and worry about them later.

Xiaota, who had just fallen into the trough, was pulled back by Chu Tianya's words, and his eyes ignited with enthusiasm and hope again.

Chu Tianya smiled. It's really wonderful to hold the power and determine the life and death of others.

"Queen, please sit down. Let's get back to the story!" Chu Tianya took a sip of tea and said, "What does Ju Erhan want from me? Queen, you can say it yourself."

Xiaota nodded and sat back in her position, stared at the letter on the table, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Concubine... It's really hard to say!"

"I won't read his letter." Chu Tianya said.

Xiaota bit his lip, and his red and hot face turned to Chu Tianya and whispered, "I want to ask the prince to subsidize some soldiers and horses; and use the prince's power to persuade Xixia to repair me and stop competing with each other."

"How much is the grain and how many soldiers?" Chu Tianya asked quietly.

"One million taels of silver, 300,000 stones of military grain... and 3,000 iron horses."

"Wo!!" Chu Tianya laughed loudly.

Xiaota's head could not be lowered, and his teeth were about to bite his lips and bleed.

"Yelü Dashi's appetite is really not small. This is much more out of the mark than the things I did to kill the rich and help the poor when I was a mountain thief in Hedong!" Chu Tianya shook his head and smiled, "As the emperor said, I really don't know he is so talkative!"

"If the prince doesn't allow it, my concubine has nothing to say, please say goodbye first..." Xiao Ta has long been ashamed. She got up quickly and saluted and was about to leave.

"Is that how you ask people to do things?" Chu Tianya said coldly.

Xiaota is as calm as if he was under a spell.

"Come here and sit down."

Xiao Ta didn't dare to follow it. He walked back and obediently, and he couldn't look directly at Chu Tianya.

"I can give you these things." Chu Tianya said lightly.

Xiao Ta was stunned and stared at Chu Tianya with incredible eyes wide. She heard it clearly that Chu Tianya said "to you" instead of giving it to you or to him.

"Yes, it's for you." Chu Tianya repeated and said, "There is no other reason. You are Feihuer's own sister. If you open your mouth, I have no reason to refuse."

"Thank you, thank you, my lord!" Xiaota's non-smoking voice was trembling.

"Don't be busy and thank me." Chu Tianya waved his hand, "I started as a mountain thief, and I never do anything to lose money. Tell me - what can I get?"

"My country is willing to serve the Song Dynasty as the suzerain year by year; if there is a strategy, you can come at any time!" Xiao Ta said eagerly, "I would like to go to Tokyo immediately to deliver the national letter to the officials of the Song Dynasty and pay tribute to my ministers!"

Chu Tianya sneered gently in his nose, "These soldiers and horses were privately sponsored by Chu; the benefits were given to the court and officials of the Song Dynasty. Queen, do you think this is reasonable?

Xiaota was stunned, as if he were petrified on the spot.

The room was extremely suffocating. Chu Tianya was not in a hurry and gently tapped the table with his fingers.

Xiao Ta butan suddenly stood up, with his back to Chu Tianya, and his body trembled slightly.

Chu Tianya looked at her curiously and was silent.

Xiaota put his hands to his waist and first untied the waist of this luxurious palace; then, the golden phoenix shoulder collar on his shoulder slowly fell down.

"I am willing to give up this cheap body and serve His Royal Highness the King of Luoyang, all by the district..."
