Chapter 86 Who is Blacker than Who

Early the next morning, Chu Tianya got up very early. Last night, he rubbed the wound with the medicine given by Wang Xun and drank the internal soup made by Xiao Ai. Chu Tianya felt that the injury had slightly improved. However, the qi and blood of people in the middle of winter are not very strong, and this kind of internal and external injury cannot be cured in a short time. Chu Tianya had to rest at ease and dared not dance with guns and sticks to ask He Bo for advice on martial arts.

Xiao Linglong is still the same as yesterday, sweating in the yard for a long time. Chu Tianya even suspected that she didn't sleep all night. After practicing pile steps and shooting, she didn't stop.

"You don't have to play with your life like this, do you?" Chu Tianya came out of the door and said to Xiao Linglong.

Xiao Linglong, who was practicing guns, stopped for a moment, wiped her sweat and said, "As I said, I must practice a full set of shooting skills in the shortest time!"

"Is this possible?" Chu Tianya asked.

"I don't know." Xiao Linglong smiled slightly, "I borrowed what you once said. If you try, you may not succeed. If you don't try, you won't have a chance, right?"

"That's..." Chu Tianya nodded and smiled, "But you still... take care of yourself!"

Xiao Linglong shook her head gently and said with a smile, "You haven't experienced a war, and you don't know the horror of war. Compared with death, this tiring is really not worth mentioning.

Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Why did you say it's the same as Uncle He?"

"It's not strange. Uncle He once experienced a war in the south of the Yangtze River; and I escaped directly from the dead because my country was ruined and my family died. Xiao Linglong's eyebrows sank slightly and said, "We all know the horror of war and the fragility and meanness of human life. So I must try my best to practice shooting well. If I'm still alive tomorrow, this shooting may come in handy at any time; if I die tomorrow, I won't be able to practice it again. Isn't it a great pity?

Chu Tianya nodded and smiled slightly: "Most people show more fear and despair when facing the threat of death. You are really different."

"If you are still alive after this war, you may be able to understand what I think now." Xiao Linglong said.

"What if I die?"

"I will avenge you."

"It's not funny." Chu Tianya still smiled and grinned, "You don't plan to die?"

"Do you think I look like a woman like that?" Xiao Linglong also smiled, "Don't talk much, go and do your business! - I heard you talking to Wang Xun yesterday. Is it possible for the government to write a list today and tell the people about the Jin soldiers going south?"

"Well, I'm going to the government." Chu Tianya nodded, "Would you like to go with me?"

"I won't go." Xiao Linglong answered simply and neatly, "Although I come from the royal family, I have always disliked to deal with officials, especially officials in the Southern Kingdom."

"Oi, then I'll go." Chu Tianya glanced sideways at the stable changed from the firewood house, which tied the jujube red horse sent by Wang Xun yesterday and said, "When are you free to teach me how to ride a horse out of the city?"

"Do you really think you can't ride a horse?" Xiao Linglong said with a smile.

"No ridicule." Chu Tianya's face was stunned, "I haven't laughed that you can't cook, swim, embroider, and sing poems to play lute or play chess."

"How do you know I can't?" Xiao Linglong smiled even more happily.

"I said no, then I must not." Chu Tianya shrugged his shoulders and wrapped the cloak a little tightly, "Don't talk, practice your martial arts! - Remember, when Ada sends your mount, he will go out of the city with me!"

Xiao Linglong laughed endlessly until Chu Tianya's figure disappeared in the yard.

"You still race, you don't know how to climb on horseback, do you? Face to death..." Xiao Linglong squeezed her mouth and shook her head gently. There was always a smile on her face. "I didn't expect that he would be childish..."

Chu Tianya didn't call any extra people and went to the magistrate's office alone.

When he got to the door, he saw the sergeants of the Shengjie Army guarding outside the house. Presumably, Wang was in the house. After the report, Zhang Xiaochun, the magistrate, let Chu Tianya go into his study, as if he was deliberately waiting for him there.

Go in and have a look, but Wang Qi is not here.

"Zhang Zhifu seems to be waiting for me on his own?" Chu Tianya didn't talk nonsense and came straight to the point.

Zhang Xiaochun was in his forties, looking smart and capable, and his eyes were extremely bright and bright. His slightly thin face, as if there has never been a smile or anger, and his face has always been as heavy as water - like the officials of the Song Dynasty who have been struggling in the officialdom for many years, he has long practiced a pair of fiery eyes that pierce people's hearts, and the cultivation of joy and anger, or the city government.

Looking at Chu Tianya, Zhang Xiaochun still smiled very "officially" slightly, "I know that you will definitely come to me."

"Zhang Zhifu is like a god. I admire him." Chu Tianya said lightly, "That magistrate must also know why I came to you?"

"That's right." Zhang Xiaochun did not go around the circle. He sat down in the chair behind the public case, frowned slightly, looked at Chu Tianya with a trace of hostility but full of curiosity, and said, "I am puzzled. Why have you become an accomplice of Xishan and Taihang?"

"Is it important?" Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "When is it? Is the magistrate still in the mood to ask these questions?"

Zhang Xiaochun nodded gently with a blank face, "I'm just out of curiosity. Because I have known your father for so many years, although I don't watch you grow up, I always know a little about you. When you didn't see it when you were young, you turned into a loud horse. Your father knows under the spring, what should you think?

Chu Tianya couldn't help but be slightly shocked: It turns out that Zhang Xiaochun and my father are still old acquaintances!

"What, did I scare you?" Zhang Xiaochun smiled twice, "That's all. The private matter has been finished. Let's start talking about business!"

Chu Tianya nodded, "Okay."

"Since you are the leader representative of the two righteous forces stationed in Taiyuan, I will talk to you openly." Zhang Xiaochun said in his usual official tone, "If the true messenger kills the marshal of our town, the Song and Jin countries will inevitably fight. There is no doubt that the government is also willing to assist Wang Dutong and implement the strategic deployment of Jianbi Qingye. But it is quite difficult to really implement it.

"If there is any difficulty, please tell the magistrate." Chu Tianya said.

"It's difficult. We know that the golden soldiers are about to invade and the war is coming, but the people still know nothing about it. They are also immersed in peace and tranquility, and they are used to living a life of sunrise and sunset every day. Zhang Xiaochun said, "Suddenly, he ordered to move all the people outside Taiyuan and let them give up their homes, land, livestock, food and property. Chu Tianya, if it were you, would you?"

"I don't want to." Chu Tianya said calmly, "But if I have to choose between these things and life, I will choose the latter."

Zhang Xiaochun nodded, "That's the right reason. But people's hearts are the most complicated and unpredictable. How can they be generalized? There may be many people who do not believe that the war is about to break out, and there may be people who take risks, the so-called artificial death; and there may be some people who make a fortune in the national disaster.

"Please ask Zhang Zhifu not to beat around the bush and say it directly." Chu Tianya's voice was a little cold.

"Okay--" Zhang Xiaochun frowned, stood up and looked directly into Chu Tianya's eyes, and said, "In the matter of moving people, the government and the army must not go out. Because once the war begins, the government will also issue an order to the people, asking them to unite with the army and defend the city together! But Jianbi Qingye must implement it again, so the meaning of this government is to let the people of Xishan and Taihang come out and forcibly move people!"

"I thought I was black and poisonous enough, but Zhang Zhifu was more black and poisonous than me!" Chu Tianya scolded on the spot, so he didn't plan to give Zhang Xiaochun any face.

"It's okay if you understand it this way." Zhang Xiaochun's self-restraint is really good. He was not angry and said indifferently, "In the current situation, everyone has to make a little sacrifice. If the government orders the relocation of the people and the army enforces it, the resentment of the people will all come to the government and the army. At that time, how can we unite the people to protect the city and fight against the golden soldiers? - Anyway, the people and horses of Xishan and Taihang are originally ringing horses, and robbing houses is their usual method in the past. At this time of crisis, in order to see the overall situation, what's wrong with sending them to do a play and make another scene? As long as you don't hurt the lives of the people, it won't hurt!"

"At that time, all the sewage will be poured on the rebels, and Zhang Zhifu will become a Qing official hero who protects the people and be worshipped by all the people?" Chu Tianya sneered, "What a wonderful plan, a wonderful plan!"

"Chu Tianya, I think you are a great person who can abandon your false reputation and start from the long-term and big plan. If even you are so short-sighted and emotional, then there is really no need to talk about it. There is no doubt that the battle against gold will be defeated. Zhang Xiaochun said almost word by word, "After all, you are a petty official and stand not high enough. You may not be able to understand what kind of methods you should use to behave in the world of the Song Dynasty for a while. Do you think the government is willing to come up with this bad idea? Even if it is the ring horse that moves the people, and the people under the territory are so displaced, the government can't escape the blame. Moreover, without seeing a golden soldier or a soldier, the government will do its best to assist the army and the righteous army, and use the power of the government to assist you in resisting the gold - if this is in the past, this government has been a crime of killing head. What else do you want?"

Chu Tianya actually understands what Zhang Xiaochun said.

Indeed, in the overall "inaction" official environment of the Song Dynasty, it is not easy for Zhang Xiaochun to do this now. It is not in vain that Wang Xun also praised him behind his back that he is "a good official who is diligent and loves the people".

Such a person is now afraid that the Song Dynasty is already an endangered species.

"Has the magistrate discussed with the king?" Chu Tianya asked.

"Wang Dutong means to let you make the decision." Zhang Xiaochun frowned slightly, "Although I don't know what magic power you have, it can make Wang Dutong push the decision power into your hands. But I respect the meaning of Wang Dutong and ask you specially.

Chu Tianya nodded, "I have to meet the village leader of Taihang and Xishan in person first!"

"Please go." Zhang Xiaochun didn't say much. He just said, "Time is tight. I don't know when I can get an answer?"

"I will do it as soon as possible." Chu Tianya said, "By the way, even if the people outside Taiyuan can use the rebels to forcibly move away, how will the people in Taiyuan City deal with it? As long as the people outside the city escape into the city, the news will inevitably cause great panic, and the hearts of the people will be in turmoil.

"The government will work with Wang Du to control the city and try our best to ensure that there is no chaos." Zhang Xiaochun frowned and said, "Taiyuan City is small, which can't accommodate the people of all counties, towns and villages under the government, and tens of thousands of victorious troops outside the city have to settle in the city. Therefore, the people who want to abandon the city and flee will not stay together; those who are willing to stay and coexist with Taiyuan will be treated well. This is the attitude and principle of the government.

"I know." Chu Tianya took a deep breath and nodded, "I'll go out of the city immediately to meet the leaders of the two volunteers and discuss this matter together!"

"You are working hard!" Zhang Xiaochun, bowed his hand to Chu Tianya.

The boss takes the initiative to worship his subordinates, which is absolutely rare in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. What's more, Chu Tianya is now a white body. To put it bluntly, he is still a fugitive and robber.

Chu Tianya bowed back, looked at Zhang Xiaochun a few times, and strode away.
