Chapter 297 Extremely Insidious
"King Luoyang, I want to tell you something!" Xiaota's voice trembled a little, "You must be careful of Xixia people!"
"What did they do?" Chu Tianya seemed to be unmoved at all. He didn't look at Xiaota and asked faintly.
"They... will count on you!!"
Chu Tianya blinked, "How do you know?"
Xiaota swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Because Dashi and Li Qianshun, the lord of Xixia, have a conspiracy, the two have already joined hands to get rid of you. In fact, the assassin who assassinated you last time was provided by the Xixia people. I just told them the location of the guard post and room of the royal palace. Predicting that the assassination will not work, they will adopt another strategy - promising any condition you to reach an alliance with you and work together to defeat Jin first. After defeating the State of Jin, the Xixia people will do everything they can to assassinate you. As soon as you die, the Song Dynasty will be in chaos. At this time, the general trend of the State of Jin has gone, and Xixia and Western Liao will go together to carve up the homeland of the Song Dynasty and the State of Jin.
Xiao Linglong was stunned and held her breath.
Chu Tianya is still calm, "There is no basis for words."
Xiaota was a little impatient: "In order to show his sincerity, Dashi gave a supreme treasure to Li Qianshun!"
"What is it?" Xiao Linglong and Chu Tianya asked with one voice.
Xiaota turned his head and looked at Xiao Linglong, "It's the national jade seal that you lost in Jiashan when you fled!"
"Ah?" Xiao Linglong exclaimed, "How did he get the national jade seal?"
Chu Tianya frowned and said, "Is it a national jade seal?"
"Yes!" Xiao Ta said affirmatively, "It is the piece of Chuanguo jade seal carved from the He family wall that passed down to the First Emperor of Qin. I've seen it with my own eyes, and it's definitely wrong!"
"Do you remember Tianya? I mentioned this to you a long time ago." Xiao Linglong said, "We weren't together at that time. Once in Yunhai Wonderland, I told you that if you want to marry me, you have to help me do a few things. One of them is to find a valuable thing I lost in those years - it is the national jade seal! At the end of the Liao Kingdom, I followed Emperor Tianzuo and my father to Jiashan. My father, the emperor's son-in-law of Emperor Tianzuo, was very trusted. When he fled, he was always responsible for keeping all the seals and copywriting of the Liao Kingdom. In the past of the conflict between my father and Dashi, my father may have expected that something would happen to him, so he secretly handed over the jade seal to me for safekeeping and secretly sent me out of the Tianzuo Emperor Xingyuan in Jiashan. Otherwise, I would have died in that coup or been captured by Wanyan Zongwang!"
"Then in the process of escaping, you lost the jade seal?" Chu Tianya asked.
"Yes." Xiao Linglong frowned and frowned, "At that time, the only guards I accompanied were Ada and Anu. We were surrounded and intercepted by the golden soldiers countless times along the way. Wanyan Zongwang personally led people to chase and kill nearly thousands of miles to capture me alive. At that time, our war horses ran to death. It was Anu who had been carrying me on my back to the western foot of Taihang Mountain, and then was rescued by Brother Jiao. At that time, I was in a coma. When I woke up, I found that the jade seal was missing. Unexpectedly, it fell into the hands of Yelu Dashi!"
Chu Tianya nodded thoughtfully, "There have been a lot of legends about the national jade seal. Some people say that the jade seals used by the officials of the Song Dynasty are not authentic national jade seals, but privately engraved. The real national jade seal has disappeared as early as when Li Cong, the deposed emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, set himself on fire. There are also rumors that the jade seal was indeed obtained by the Khitan people who besieged the Later Tang Dynasty at that time, that is, it fell into the hands of the State of Liao. I have seen the jade seal in the hands of the official family. In terms of appearance, it is very similar to the legendary jade seal. It is said that a farmer found it while ploughing the field during the Zhezong period and then dedicated it to the imperial court. It's really hard to tell which is true or false.
"Tianya, I can tell you for sure that the jade seal of Liao must be true!" Xiao Linglong said affirmatively, "Our family is a relatively prosperous family of the Xiao family in Liao. There have been many emperors and generals who have made great achievements in battle. One of the ancestors was the king of Nanyuan during the period of Da Liao Daozong, and he made great achievements in the Southern Expedition and the Northern Expedition. In order to show his achievements and express his trust in him, the Taoist emperor once stored the jade seals directly in the Southern Courtyard, which means that the king of the Southern Courtyard can order on behalf of the emperor and drive and mobilize all the soldiers and horses of the Liao Kingdom at will - since then, our Xiao family has often been responsible for keeping the jade seal for the emperor of Diliao.
Chu Tianya blinked his eyes, "Your ancestor's name is Xiao Feng, is it?"
Xiao Linglong and Xiao Ta were stunned at the same time, "How do you know?"
Chu Tianya shook his head with a smile, "I've heard of it."
That's right, Xiao Feng in Xiao Linglong's mouth, but the prototype of Xiao Feng, the beggar gang leader in Jin Yong's novel Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. In history, the real Xiao Feng was indeed the king of the Southern Academy, but he may not have been to the Song Dynasty in his life.
"King of Luoyang, I think you must know the weight of the jade seal. Juerhan gave such an important thing to Li Qianshun. It can be seen that he is determined to cooperate with Li Qianshun to deal with you. Xiao Ta said, "Their strategy is to drive away the tigers and swallow the wolves, pretend to be with you to help your prestige, and let the Song Dynasty and the Kingdom of Jin fight until the fish are broken; then the two of them collect the profits and divide the world of Jin and the Song Dynasty."
Chu Tianya was not stunned. He smiled indifferently and said, "Why do you suddenly think of saying this to me? Ju Erhan is your husband. You were willing to go through fire and water for her. Why did you change your mind overnight?
Xiaota breathed deeply, "Women are like this. Once they change their hearts, they will be vicious to the end. Da Shi treats me like a wolf, and I don't have to die for him anymore! - King Luoyang, whether you believe it or not, what I'm telling you today is the truth. You must be careful of the Xixia people. They pretend to be allied with you and agreed to send troops. Maybe they will stab you in the dark at any time, and even sell you to Jurchens when you have the advantage. Because what they want to see most is that you will lose both sides, not that you will win a big victory.
"I know." Chu Tianya nodded gently, "Anyway, thank you very much."
Xiao Linglong was slightly stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment. She knew Chu Tianya too well. Seeing his expression like this, Xiao Linglong had already guessed in her heart that there was no need for Xiao Ta to remind him. Chu Tianya had actually been guarding against the Xixia people for a long time.
Xiao Ta doesn't know Chu Tianya as well as Xiao Linglong, and her reaction is much more eager, "King Luoyang, don't take it lightly!"
"What, you suddenly care about my life and death?" Chu Tianya asked meaningfully.
Xiaota bit his lip, "Because I know that I will definitely live in the Song Dynasty for the rest of my life. Whether you like it or not, I will become the grass and vine under the protection of your big tree like the flying fox. I don't want to have a strong wind and lightning to uproot this big tree one day.
Chu Tianya looked at the two sisters left and right and smiled without saying anything, "This is a big truth."
Xiao Linglong frowned and looked unhappy, but she didn't say much.
"Flying Fox, don't get me wrong. I'm not going to rob a man from you. I am very self-aware. Now I have neither that heart nor that courage, let alone that qualification. Xiao Ta sighed, "I just want to... live a few years in peace. Even if it's under the shelter of others, it's better than lingering.
"Then you can stay!" Chu Tianya continued to lie down to catch his fish and said carelessly, "Although I'm not too rich, it's no problem to raise one or two more people." Feihuer, please invite your sister to have tea. You are here to scare away my fish. Where do you drink fresh fish soup at night?
"..." The two sisters were speechless at the same time, so they left silently.
Obviously, Chu Tianya doesn't care about the "major news" provided by Xiaota. This made her feel very frustrated. In recent days, Xiao Ta has tried her best to "wear a crime and make contributions", but Chu Tianya has always been very indifferent, and even her own sister Xiao Linglong has expressed her antipathy and hostility to her many times.
Xiaota is very frustrated and depressed. Involuntarily, she blamed Yelu Dashi, who was far away in the Western Regions, and had a lot of hatred for him in her heart - "If you hadn't instructed me to do these things, why would I have fallen into today's situation?"
A hatred in my heart burned, and it was a little difficult for Xiaota to restrain himself. After gritting her teeth, she suddenly ran to Chu Tianya and said, "King Luoyang, I have one more thing to tell you. You must be very interested."
With a green grass in his mouth, Chu Tianya turned his head and looked at her leisurely, "Thusiper me."
Xiaota took a deep breath and said, "The prince sent by Yelu Dashi is fake!" He is not my own son!!"
Chu Tianya's expression stagnated, and the grass in his mouth was bitten. Not far away, Xiao Linglong raised her eyebrows, and her expression was very stunned.
"Yes, I'm not lying." Xiao Ta said righteously, "That's the son of Dashi and one of her waiters. He is the eldest son of a concubine more than half a month longer than my prince. His mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to him. He was brought up by me, so he was like a mother and son. But - he is not the prince of Xiliao, which is very true!"
"Two or three-year-old children can even pretend to lie." Chu Tianya frowned and said, "Yelu's family is really talented."
"He is not a liar. He is still so young that he doesn't understand the prince at all." Xiao Ta said, "Dashi only lied to him that he was very happy to send him to see his mother. Before leaving, Dashi also deliberately held a small trick of "Prince Cefeng" at home to deceive the child. This child doesn't know much, just think he is a real prince..."
"This Yelu Dashi is really a beast. His wife and son are all sold!" Chu Tianya angrily spit out half of the grass in his mouth and said, "What on earth does he want? Does he naively think that with the current strength of his Western Liao Kingdom, he can really restore the Liao Kingdom or swallow the whole Song and Jin Kingdom?
"King Luoyang, don't underestimate Da Shi." Xiaota said, "When he was guarding the Yanshan Mansion, he defeated the Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty ten times more than himself with a city of mourning soldiers; when he ran away from the mountain, he was under no more than hundreds of horses. All the way through the northern desert to the Western Regions, he has gathered more than 40,000 people and horses, and even the Uyghur king was subdued by him. He received a warm welcome and strong support from Balasagun, a member of the Khitan clan at that time. Soon, he gathered more than 200,000 people and horses under his command and established the Karachidan Dynasty in Qierman City. Since then, Dashi has been hiding his strength from the outside world and showing it as a weak person. In fact, the Mongolian and Uigu tribes in the north to the grassland, plus the large and small tribes of the whole Western Regions, including kingdoms such as Hua Lazimo, have been subdued under the command of Dashi. He took over the ancient Silk Road and had a very close relationship with Dashi. With trade and trade, his dynasty gathered a large amount of wealth and food in a very short time, and he had at least 200,000 elite cavalry under his command. Their combat effectiveness is not under the iron rot of Xixia at all - otherwise, do you think Li Qianshun, the king of Xixia, is really good, and he doesn't want to destroy Xiliao? - That's what he can't do!"
Chu Tianya's heart finally tightened.
There are indeed some of what Xiaota said today that he didn't expect. Yelu Dashi escaped to the Western Regions in just two or three years, how could he develop to such an extent?
But on second thought, Chu Tianya began to blame himself for being too proud and underestimated the enemy - I, Chu, was far worse than Yelu Dashi two or three years ago! Now that I can take charge of the power of the Song Dynasty, why can't Yelu Dashi dominate the Western Regions?
An idea loomed in the heart of Chu Tianya. He felt that Yelu Dashi would become his biggest enemy sooner or later. The shaw tower in front of us is not smoking, or it is the key to turning the situation around.
However, this woman is too good at lying. Every word she said deserves careful verification and is difficult to be completely convincing.
"I know you can't trust me. But everything I said today is true. Xiao Ta said very seriously, "In fact, even Li Qianshun, the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, is not very clear about the real strength of our Western Liao Kingdom. He sent people to our country more than once to inquire, or wanted to disappear from me by beating around the side, but they all failed. Now Li Qianshun at most only knows that Yelu Dashi has 30,000 to 40,000 cavalry in his hand, and he has been short of clothes and goods. At most, he can only defend his territory and absolutely has no ability to invade or go on an expedition. In fact, Yelu Dashi is the most dangerous person to hide. Even Xixia is being used by him. He will sit with Xixia and watch you fight with Jin Guo, and then assist Xixia to deal with the winner between you. When the dust is about to settle, it is the time for him to take action. At that time, whether the State of Jin, the Song Dynasty or Xixia survived, it would be the end of the crossbow. It's easy for Dashi to clean up this last opponent!"
When Xiao Ta said, Xiao Linglong slowly came over. Hearing this, she sighed for a long time.
Chu Tianya and Xiao Ta looked at her together, "Why do you sigh?"
"I sighed because I saw him use the same method again." Xiao Linglong looked contemptuous and hateful, and shook her head with a scornful smile. "At the beginning, he provoked between you and my sisters, so that we could guess each other's taboos and disgust, and then he could meet the two of us. Otherwise, if our sisters are deeply united, he will not be able to take poop from it and step on two boats. This despicable and shameless man will always be so sinister and cunning - Tianya, promise me that you must defeat him and catch him alive, hoping that I can slap him with a hundred big ears with my own hands!"
Xiaota's non-smoking face trembled, and then his silver teeth clenched and bit his bones, "I'm going to slap him a hundred times!"
"Oi, I promise you." Chu Tianya is still so calm, "Now, can you sit and drink tea? Otherwise, there will really be no fresh fish soup tonight.
"..." The two women were stunned at the same time and left silently again.
Chu Tianya squinted at the buoy on the water and snorted gently.
"Yelü Dashi... Jumping clown!"
"The rosefinch."
A dark shadow seems to fall from the sky, "I'm there. What's your order?"
"If you have any help, please arrange two powerful and confidants to go to the Western Regions. Listen, you can't go in person. Because I can't live without you here." Chu Tianya said.
The rosefinch wearing a mask raised its eyebrows gently, "Yes. Excuse me, my lord, what's the business to go to the Western Regions?
Chu Tianya waved his hand, and the rosefinch came to Chu Tianya's side and squatted down, and his ears came over.
Xiaota, not far away, saw it and said doubtfully, "This should be a woman, right? Why is she covered with a big black hood covering all her skin and a strange and scary face on her face? Is she ugly and scary?
"She is not only not ugly, but also amazingly beautiful." Xiao Linglong said lightly while drinking tea, "She is much more beautiful than me."
Xiaota was stunned, "Are you more beautiful than you?"
"Yes, Lord! I'll arrange it right away!" After listening to Chu Tianya's whispering instructions, the rose up solemnly and held his fist to answer.
Chu Tianya looked up at her, nodded with a smile, and said, "Come and have dinner with me tonight. The fish I caught is cooked fresh fish soup.
The rosefinch subconsciously glanced at Xiao Linglong's side, looked at the pitifully small bucket, and the small fish that was pitifully small and turned over the skin, and shook his head, "I dare not."
"You obviously look down on me, don't you?" Chu Tianya was a little annoyed, "Let's see, I must catch two big fish and make soup!"
The rosefinch smiled.
She was wearing a mask, but Chu Tianya clearly felt that she was smiling.
Then the black body passed by Chu Tianya like a wind. The sword came out of its sheath, and the cold light lit up on the surface of the water. The dark shadow flashed to the other side of the pond. Her sword was already wearing a golden carp more than three feet long.
"I have it now." The rosefinch said to the other side of the small pond, "Master, if it's not enough, you can come again."
"No need." Chu Tianya pouted his lips, and then muttered in a low voice, "What's the point of hanging out like you? What a disrepise!"
