Song Xiao

Chapter 289 Worth it

After the battle in Wutongyuan, Chu Tianya felt that everything was going well. Even if it happened to bad things, it could become a good thing because of fate. Xiao Linglong joked that it might be that the baby in her belly had brought good luck to his father.

So Chu Tianya said in a serious statement that in the future, when the child is born, both boys and girls will be named "Chu Jixiang".

This was despised by Xiao Linglong, saying that he was neither elegant nor knowledgeable, and gave his children such an ugly name. Chu Tianya laughed and said, his nickname is "Auspicious"!

The next morning, Chu Tianya and his party packed up and prepared to leave Luoyang for Wutongyuan. Before leaving, Chu Tianya also went to Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, to bid farewell. Zhao Kai, the fallen prince who was sent to Luoyang as a hostage by his official brother, was so flattered that he almost worshipped Chu Tianya in turn.

When the nominal ministers were greeting each other in Luoyang Palace, Qingwei came to report that Xiaota, the empress of Zhaode, the messenger of Western Liao, knelt outside the palace gate and begged to see the king of Luoyang.

"This woman is quite good at timing." Chu Tianya smiled helplessly and said to Zhao Kai, "Let His Royal Highness Yun laugh. Xiao Ta Buyan is the sister of her sister-in-law. Through this relationship, she wants her subordinates to make some compromises and concessions on national affairs. How can Weichen agree?

Zhao Kai was so scared that he didn't know how to answer. He hurriedly said, "This... The king of Luoyang can think about it by himself. You don't have to ask Xiao Wang."

"This doesn't work." Chu Tianya said with a smile, "Your Highness is a judge in Henan appointed by the government, and you have the right to ask questions about big and small affairs. If you don't invite Xiaota to the palace, how about your Highness?

"No, no, this is not appropriate!" Zhao Kai waved his hand repeatedly in a hurry, "How dare Xiao Wang make a decision on a national event?"

"Your Highness, you don't have to be modest." Chu Tianya said, "Come on, please Queen Zhaode of Western Liao."

Zhao Kai smiled bitterly and scratched his head repeatedly. Who doesn't know that Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, is just a puppet decoration in Luoyang Palace. At present, Chu Tianya wants him to let him fall. I really don't know what medicine is sold in this gourd.

After a young age, Xiaota entered the hall, dressed in a luxurious Khitan queen's robe, and his face was like a peach blossom, which made the young king Zhao Kai's eyes straight for a while.

After the salute, Chu Tianya said, "Empress Xiao, this is the king of the Song Dynasty, the general judge of Henan Province appointed by the imperial court. For all matters, Mr. Chu wants to ask His Royal Highness King Yun to make a final determination. If the queen has a national event to ask today, she might as well talk about it directly in front of King Yun.

Xiao Ta frowned confusedly, but since Chu Tianya had opened this mouth, she had no reason to let it go. So she said, "On behalf of my country Ju Erhan, I came to form an alliance with the Song Dynasty. In order to show sincerity, my concubine and the prince of our country are willing to stay in Luoyang. I would like to invite His Royal Highness and Luoyang Wang Enzun!"

Zhao Kai was stunned when he heard this. He had never heard of this kind of thing, so he looked at Chu Tianya confusedly and asked for help and motioned him to speak.

Chu Tianya deliberately turned a blind eye to it, drank tea, and said lightly, "Your Highness, make a determination!"

Zhao Kai and Xiao Ta are both stunned: What does this mean?

Zhao Kai is even more blind: How can I make a determination? Can I say whatever I want?

Xiao Ta's heart was very depressed for a while. After thinking carefully, he finally figured it out that Chu Tianya intended to give Yun Wang some thin face; in addition, he wanted me to make a guarantee and show sincerity in front of outsiders. The king in front of him is not so much a 'decisaner' as a witness... Well, that's it!

So, Xiao Tabuyan knelt down in front of Zhao Kai and Chu Tianya and said, "I sincerely allied with the Song Dynasty and regarded the Song Dynasty as the suzerain country, just like the baby's breast milk and the green grass..."

Xiaota didn't repeat that he had enough time for a cup of tea, just to express the sincerity of the alliance between Western Liao and the Song Dynasty. Chu Tianya was a little tired of hearing it.

Zhao Kai was even more stunned. On the one hand, he was amazed by the literary talent and eloquence of the woman in front of him. In addition, it has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the Song Dynasty. Especially in recent years, where has he seen the envoys of Fanbang so determinedly come to ask for the Song Dynasty and the League? It is common to extort from extortion!

"My concubine is willing to ask the king of Yun and the king of Luoyang for mercy!" Xiao Ta finally finished speaking and kowtowed on the ground. His scalp was broken and blood flowed for a long time.

Zhao Kai can't sit still. It's enough for such a big beauty to be so lowly in front of the two big men, and she also makes a self-abuse move to break the blood, which is really a terrible scenery. Zhao Kai left the throne in a hurry and hurriedly held Xiao Ta Buyan. Instead, he came to plead for her in front of Chu Tianya, "King Luoyang, Xiao Wang saw that Empress Zhaode was sincere, why don't you... promise her?"

"Everything is up to the king. I dare not object." Chu Tianya put down the tea cup and arched his hand with a smile.

"So... Xiao Wang agreed for Luoyang Wang first?" Zhao Kai's own eyes were unbelievable.

Chu Tianya couldn't help laughing and repeated again, "Everything is up to your Highness."

"Okay, okay... Then, I agree! I agreed!" Zhao Kai wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh. His expression was very embarrassed. "Empress Zhaode, please discuss the details of the alliance with the king of Luoyang. Xiao Wang here... it's inconvenient to participate."

"Thank you, Your Highness King Yun!" Xiao Ta breathed a sigh of relief. After worshipping Zhao Kai, he came to pay homage to Chu Tianya, "Thank you, Your Highness the King of Luoyang!"

"Thank you for what I've done, but you are the help of King Yun." Chu Tianya smiled indifferently and said, "I am about to leave Luoyang. Regarding the details of the peace alliance, I would like to ask the queen to discuss with the king of Yun and the military division Bai Xu, Meng De and others to discuss them in detail. After the negotiation, it will be handed over to the Tokyo court for approval.

"Good."

"Your Highness, please say goodbye." Chu Tianya got up to say goodbye.

"King Luoyang, please take care of yourself... Please take care!" Zhao Kai sent him in fear. Xiao Ta also followed all the way, and he didn't dare to say more.

Out of Luoyang Palace, Chu Tianya rode a horse and left. Xiao Ta Buchan and Zhao Kai looked at his back, and their hearts were full of confusion and emotion.

Zhao Kai is the most confused. He can't figure out which one Chu Tianya is playing today and what it means. He really wanted to ask Xiao Ta if he didn't smoke, but he was afraid of being laughed at by her, so he had to hold it back and feel uncomfortable.

Only Xiaota knows in his heart that Chu Tianya's little trick today is actually "one kills more birds with one stone". On the one hand, he sold Zhao Kai a cheap favor, which made him "mighty"; on the other hand, let the affairs of the two countries have a sideline witness. At that time, Juer Khan or her Xiao Tabuyan, if there is any act of betraying the alliance, he can't be blamed; thirdly, Chu Tianya actually also wants to leave the last trace of face for her Xiao Tabuyan. He Not only did he not mention the assassination, but he did not "take the initiative" to embarrass him by putting forward any non-ordinary demands on Xiao Ta. From beginning to end, Chu Tianya is more like a "bystander" and looks more like Xiaota is discussing with Zhao Kai.

This small trick or means makes Xiaota feel heartfelt - Chu Tianya, a young man, is really not simple. His maturity and stability have exceeded the scope of his age, and he is a natural evil!

"Now I probably understand why people like Tong Guan and Yelu Yujian will quietly lose to him." Xiao Ta said to himself, "I understand more why he has the momentum today."

Zhao Kai straightened his eyes and said, "Why?"

Xiao Ta smiled faintly, "Your Highness, if there is no other advice, the concubine will leave."

Zhao Kai was stunned and said with an embarrassed smile, "Queen... please do it yourself!"

The elegant style of Xiaota has left. Zhao Kai stood still in a daze, like a clay sculpture Bodhisattva.

In Luoyang Palace, Bai Xu, Xue Yu, Yang Zaixing and others came to see Chu Tianya off together.

Yang Zaixing recently joined and just led the pioneer seal, which excited Bai Xun and others. In any case, the old people of Qixingzhai are finally reunited, which is more prosperous than in the past.

Considering the relationship between Yang Zaixing and Cao Cheng, in order to avoid his embarrassment, Chu Tianya temporarily left him in Luoyang and handed him over to Xue Yu. First, he trained soldiers and horses together in the Jiyuan Camp for a period of time. Both Yang Xue and Yang were very happy, so they accepted it happily. Chu Tianya wrote a handwritten letter to Liu Ziyu, the commander-in-chief of the Jiyuan Battalion, and solemnly recommended Yang Zaixing to him so that Yang Zaixing could integrate into this new group as soon as possible.

In the royal palace, the old man He Bo was still left in the town, and Ada and twelve newly joined female guards stayed with Xiao Linglong to protect and serve.

Everything was finally arranged in public and private. Chu Tianya took eleven Qingwei and Hu Ben's guards to Wutongyuan.

Chu Tianya has only been gone for half a day. In the evening, Xiao Tabuyan appeared in Luoyang Palace. The bodyguards here all know her relationship with Xiao Linglong, and also know that she has assigned assassins to assassinate, so they can't stop them, and they have to report it to Xiao Linglong to decide in person.

Xiao Linglong was flustered about this matter. She had always wanted to see her sister, but she felt more embarrassed to meet her and didn't know where to start. At present, Xiaota came to the door in person. Xiao Linglong also hesitated for a while and sighed, "Let her in!"

As soon as the words fell, twelve female guards appeared neatly beside Xiao Linglong.

Xiao Linglong smiled bitterly, "You don't have to be so wary. At present, I can prevent what you can prevent; if I can't prevent it, you can't - all retreat!"

The female guards didn't know what she meant, but since they had to obey the order, they all obediently retreated to the compartment and were still on alert.

Xiao Linglong came in. She was moved with tears in her eyes, but she tried hard to calm down. She walked into the hall and knelt down to Xiao Linglong without saying a word.

This loud sound made Xiao Linglong feel pain.

"I'm sorry for you!"

As soon as the words came out, Xiaota immediately burst into tears.

Xiao Linglong sat in the chair and looked at the compatriot sister who grew up with her in front of her. She didn't say a word, but two lines of tears quietly slipped down.

"I dare not beg for your forgiveness... I just hope you can let me stay with you and serve you for the rest of my life!" Xiao Ta didn't smoke and knelt on the ground and sobbed, "To redeem my sins!"

"You are guilty, but you are not wrong." Xiao Linglong shed tears and whispered, "Just like I'm willing to do anything for Tianya."

"Flying Fox, me! ..." Xiao Ta burst into tears.

"Sister... If there is another person in the world who understands your heart, it is your own sister, Flying Fox." Xiao Linglong whispered, "If one day I do these things for the end of the world, I will have no regrets; but you are for him... I want to say that you are not worth it!"

Xiaota bit his lips and burst into tears into a river, speechless.

"I know you are retorting in your heart." Xiao Linglong said, "I just want to say one example - when Taiyuan was besieged, Wanyan Zonghan forced the Song court to cede Taiyuan and let Taiyuan surrender. Another condition is to give me to Zong Han. Do you know what Chu Tianya said?

Xiaota shook his head gently.

Xiao Linglong's face had a satisfied and intoxicated smile. "At that time, he was just a military patrol commander who started from a young official in the prison city, but he was so generous to Wanyan Zonghan. I still remember his original words - Bird Slave, listen, if you are still a man, you will dare to take away the flying fox. Otherwise, she will always be my Chu Tianya's woman!"

After a word, Xiao Ta's face turned pale, and he stared at Xiao Linglong with wide eyes.

Xiao Linglong still smiled, "This is what a desperate little military academy said to Jin Guoxiao, who is famous in the world with millions of heroes."

"I know what you want to say... Yes, it's him who let me seduce Chu Tianya and try to take his life or strive for the best interests of an alliance, at least to get a batch of soldiers and horses!" Xiao Ta's whole body trembled, closed his eyes in embarrassment, and burst into tears.

"So, my sister." Xiao Linglong took a deep breath, "I'm not worth it for you!"
