Chapter 12 Bold Bet
Chu Tianya and Ma Yu talked about it in detail for more than two hours at the wine table. Until late at night, they also changed three pieces of wine. Ma Yu finally got drunk and lay on the wine table.
Chu Tianya took a long breath and felt that his throat was going to be dry and hoarse. He also drank a lot of wine himself, but he had always been very restrained and did not drink as freely as Ma Yu. In addition, the wine at this time is undistilled brewed wine, and the degree is not high. It is like drinking beer in Chu Tianya, so it is very slow to get drunk, and it is still very sober at this time.
Looking at the horse on the wine table, Chu Tianya thought carefully and carefully straightened out his current thinking. Perhaps because of the effect of alcohol, he felt that his thinking was more keen and clear at this moment, and even many ordinary problems that he couldn't figure out and guessed were suddenly enlightened.
I don't know for what reason. Maybe it is an intuition cultivated by engaging in criminal investigation all year round. Chu Tianya felt from the beginning that this horse expansion was different from the ordinary vulgar people in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. Facts have proved that Ma Yan is indeed a general with a sense of justice and a heart to serve the country. Although he is a person who is more trusted by Tong Guan, he is not completely assimilated and retains the blood and sense of mission that a soldier should have.
This is rare.
That being said, in fact, Chu Tianya was also rushed to the hospital, and the dead horse became a living horse doctor. I don't have any relationship or background in the officialdom or the army, and I don't have enough time to calculate and operate, so I can only gamble! - If you bet, you may not win, and if you don't gamble, you must have no chance. Chu Tianya is such a mentality.
Now it seems that it is a good omen to bet on Ma Yan this time. Just now, under the influence of alcohol, Ma Yan's defense of Chu Tianya gradually relaxed, and then spit out the truth after drinking and said a lot of words from the bottom of his heart. It turned out that although Tong Guan was grateful to him, Ma Yan didn't agree with many of his actions towards Tong Guan.
Especially in the face of the major military threat of the State of Jin, the innocence and cowardice and selfishness shown by Tong Guan, the marshal of the town, made Ma Yan, a hot-blooded soldier, very disgusted.
It turned out that Tong Guan sent Ma to expand the Jinying. In addition to negotiating the handover of business in the state and county and spying on the actual movement of Jin soldiers, there is another important mission, which is to bribe Wanyan Zonghan, the marshal of Jin on behalf of Tong Guan. He asked him to order the envoys sent by the State of Jin to the Song Dynasty and tell Tong Guan himself to the Song Jin Yan, in the "Song Jin Alliance" The "huge role" played in the process of "Liao" and in the diplomatic relations between the two countries and its irreplaceable importance.
The reason is that although Tong Guan was crowned king after "recovering Yanjing", he was also defeated in the court party struggle before, so he was put on hold for a long time. He just turned over and took office again, taking charge of the northern defense of the Song Dynasty and the diplomacy of the State of Jin. If there is an "ally" of the State of Jin, which has always been strong and awe of the court of the Song Dynasty, who can say a few good words for Tong Guan in front of the officials of the Song Dynasty, it will undoubtedly solidify Tong Guan's current status and receive great rewards and benefits.
After hearing this, Chu Tianya timely provoked the horse to expand with words, saying that the enemy is in the face of the current national disaster. Tong Guan not only has a naive fantasy about tiger and wolf-like real women, but also wishfully believes that they will not tear up the alliance's agreement to go south to invade, and also wants to use the other party to seek benefits for himself - this kind of stupid and It's not a shameful thing to be naive. I guess only Tong Guan can do it.
Ma Yan, who showed his nature after drinking, was finally angry and scolded Tong Guan's behavior contemptuously.
Tong Guan abandons the national court and the people of the world for his own selfishness, but any Song people who have a little conscience will hate him to the bone! No wonder the horse will be extremely disgusted.
After a scold, Ma Yu was even more distressed. Because the military order was like a mountain, Tong Guan had always been waiting for Ma Yu, so he dared to be angry and dared not say anything, and could only sulk in private!
At this time, Chu Tianya sighed: I can only say that the sky has eyes, so I won't lose this bet! If Ma expansion can be won, then if you want to win some soldiers to help defend Taiyuan, it will not be just a fantasy!
But only one horse expansion is far from enough. Although he is Tong Guan's confidant, after all, he is just a clerical supervisor, and his subordinates do not directly control the military power. Nowadays, we must grasp this point and seek greater help!
Chu Tianya felt that he was like an underground party, working behind enemy lines alone. From time to time, it is like walking on thin ice, and it is dangerous everywhere. However, the Jin people will not give him too much time to deal with the business, and they will attack the top of Mount Tai!
Time is very tight!
It was late at night. Chu Tianya called Xiao Er to settle the meal, and asked him to arrange two rooms. Tonight, he and Ma Yu stayed here for one night. There are few people who don't know Chu Tianya in Taiyuan City. Seeing that he is so generous today, Xiao Er must be a distinguished guest for the banquet. So he asked, do you want to call a few prostitutes to serve Chunxiao?
Chu Tianya couldn't help but be stunned. He thought that I had swept the yellow, and I really didn't do such a thing as whoring in person. However, at present, the Song Dynasty has these popular trends. Whether it is dignitaries or ordinary people, prostitutes are like listening to music, which is not only not shameful, but also a kind of romantic fashion. Many famous poets of the Song Dynasty resigned. Their hered poems were written in brothels, and there was a seductive color between the lines.
"Arrange two good goods for this military man, and he must serve him. Otherwise, I will demolish your black shop!" Chu Tianya did not forget the true nature of "Taibao" and said with a swindle, "I don't want it. I just need to rest when I'm tired today."
Xiao Er received the reward, and happily went to arrange it. Soon, both of them entered the room separately. At this time, Chu Tianya's wine began to attack, and he fell into ** and was about to fall asleep.
When I was half asleep and half awake, I suddenly heard an angry scolding from the next room: "Who asked you to come here? Get out of here!"
Then there was the sound of throwing things and the screams of the two women, and immediately ran away from the door and in a hurry.
Chu Tianya couldn't help but be stunned: Isn't Ma Yan close to women?
With a "pop", the door next door fell loudly, and then Chu Tianya's door was also knocked. Hearing the horse expand outside and said, "I'll go back to the camp to rest. You can be romantic and happy!" Today's events should not be told to anyone. Tomorrow, I'll ask you again."
After saying that, Ma Yan didn't wait for Chu Tianya to come out and reply, and strode away.
Chu Tianya sat in ** and was really stunned: It seems that this horse expansion is indeed different from the vulgar officials in the Song Dynasty...
The night was extremely deep, and Chu Tianya's wine surged up and couldn't get tired. He fell down on ** and fell asleep.
I don't know when I woke up. I only heard that the street outside the window was noisy and lively. Chu Tianya opened his eyes dimly and felt a little pain in his head. Only then did he know that although the wine in the Song Dynasty was easy to eat, it was full of stamina. It's also uncomfortable to drink too much.
"Young master, are you awake?" Suddenly, a voice came from his side, which scared Chu Tianya.
Looking sideways, Uncle He didn't know when he arrived in the room and was walking to the bedside with a hot towel.
"Bun He, when did you... come here?" Chu Tianya came to his senses and breathed. He secretly drank too much yesterday, and his vigilance was greatly reduced. If someone cuts his head off when he sleeps like this, he doesn't know how to die!
"I came in the morning." He Bo handed over a hot towel to signal Chu Tianya to wipe his face and said, "I didn't disturb the young man when he saw the young man sleeping deeply."
Chu Tianya got out of bed to wash his face and asked Uncle He what's wrong?
He Bo said, "There are guests at home. Two men and one woman, two men don't know each other, and the woman came last time.
"Xiao Linglong?" Chu Tianya's movements stagnated for a moment, "Did she say what to do?"
"I'm a subordinate, and I didn't ask much. The young master'd better go back and ask by himself!" He Bo said, "But I can see that the two alien men next to her are like her slaves, and they are very good at martial arts!"
"A foreign slave with extremely high martial arts skills?" Chu Tianya blinked his eyes and nodded, "I'll go back right away. When she came to me, she should have spread the news of the Taihang Rebels.
"Is the young master going to join forces with the Taihang Rebel Army to fight against the gold?" Uncle He asked.
Chu Tianya nodded, "It's a big disaster. If you can catch a few more people, you can have a little more strength. As long as it can come in handy, I won't give up.
"Does the young master want to save Taiyuan on his own?" He Bo said in a light tone, "The century-old country of Liao has been destroyed by the Jin people. Hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in the Song Dynasty dare not go to the edge of the real iron horse... Young master, why are you pouring cold water on you? How sure are you doing this?"
"There is no one." Chu Tianya frowned and said, "Be honest, I don't even know what's the point of doing this. Uncle He will definitely think that I am a mayhemer who shakes the tree and is ridiculous; but if I don't do anything or run away alone, sooner or later my conscience will tell me that I don't deserve to be a man at all!"
He Bo's dead tree-like face trembled slightly, and then nodded quietly, "Young master, go back quickly. The guests have been waiting for a long time."
Chu Tianya didn't say anything more. After washing up and cleaning up, he went back home.
Xiao Linglong was really already there. She was still dressed as a man when she met. She was standing under a osmanthus tree in the backyard with her hands cut on her back, looking at the osmanthus blooming above her head.
There were two men standing next to her, looking very humble. One of them is very tall, with messy yellow hair and thorny roots, and the beard on his face is also yellow. His body is unusually thick and muscular. If he is tall, he is nearly a head taller than Xiao Linglong. And one of his eyes was blind, covered with an oblique black mask, while the other eye was as big as a copper bell, with fierce light.
At first glance, this man is like a majestic and arrogant lion!
The other man is in sharp contrast to it. He is short and thin, and his waist and back are a little rickety. His thin eyebrows and small eyes are not amazing. However, the pair of triangular small eyes showed no human feelings, just as cold as ice cubes. Out of professional quality, Chu Tianya's first feeling for him is: kill people without blinking an eye!
