Chapter 136 Song lost his deer

For the rest of his life after the disaster, don't meet again. Chu Tianya himself doesn't know what kind of mood he is now.

Bai Xun looked at Chu Tianya and Xiao Linglong and smiled without saying anything. He stepped forward a few steps to Guanshan and said, "Brother, why don't we go to Qixingtang first to wait for them? For the rest of the scenery, it seems that there are more suitable people to take the Chu brothers to visit.

"It makes sense - let's go!" Without saying a word, Guan Shan waved his hand with a smile and strode away with Bai Yu and others.

Xiao Ai couldn't help but run up and came forward first, "Brother Chu, are you all right? You're finally here. We're all so anxious!"

"Aren't I here?" Chu Tianya smiled and said, "You are full of energy. How many full meals should you have?"

"It's not just a full meal, the delicious food is almost bursting!" Little Elaz said, "Although it's only been a day or two since I've been here, I feel like I'm back home. The princess treats me well. The aunts and sisters in Yuheng Palace are also friendly! - I've grown up, and I've never been cared about by so many people!"

"Look at your complacency." Chu Tianya pinched her face twice. Xiao Ai jumped behind Xiao Linglong and hid, and giggled and asked Princess Xiao to save his life.

Chu Tianya stepped forward and said, "Are you all right?"

"It's good." Xiao Linglong leaned her lazy hands in front of her chest and leaned against the door. She nodded and said, "I can see that although you have been talking and laughing with a relaxed expression, you are in a complicated mood and lost."

Chu Tianya was slightly stunned and shook his head gently with a wry smile, "You can't hide anything from your eyes."

Xiao Linglong stood up straight with a smile, raised her hand and motioned that she would lead Chu Tianya forward. As she walked, she said, "Didn't you expect in advance that Jin Guo and Da Song would not let you go? Why will you still be disappointed in the end?"

Chu Tianya shook his head helplessly, "It is precisely because there is still a trace of extravagant hope in my heart that I will be disappointed in the end. Although I once said it very well, in my heart, I still hope that the court of the Song Dynasty can make some correct decisions at the critical moment of the country. Facts have proved that the imperial court of the Song Dynasty has indeed become in a hopeless situation. Zhao Huan, a new official who has just been an emperor for a few days, is inseparable from his father in other aspects except for his poor calligraphy and painting skills. Perhaps his courage and self-confidence are worse than his father's.

"Didn't you understand that the century-old malpractices, old customs, officialdom environment and military style of the Song Dynasty can't be changed overnight?" Xiao Linglong said bluntly, "After experiencing the destruction of the country and the family, when I see the current situation of many Song Dynasty again, I can't help but have a feeling of déjà vu - yes, when a dynasty is about to fall, the signs it shows are always amazingly similar. It is a metaphor for the emperor being mediocre and incompetuous, the officials are greedy and selfish, the officialdom is corrupt and dark, the generals are afraid of death, the army is corrupt and corrupt, and even the people only want to gain and indulge in comfort. The world is full of rage, and the vast majority of people live in peace without thinking about danger. In such an environment, there are occasionally a few indomitable heroes, and they can't change their lives at all. Moreover, most of such characters can only shine for a moment like a meteor across the sky, and then fall tragically and helplessly.

After listening to it, Chu Tianya was speechless for a long time. Xiao Linglong's words hit the nail on the head of Chu Tianya. Just two days ago, Wang Yu also said something similar. One is the subtle patriotic minister in the deep understanding of the situation, and the other is the foreign female streamers who are bystanders. They actually agree that the Song Dynasty is hopeless!

"Are you worried that I will treat Song Yuzhong when you tell me this?" Chu Tianya said with a slight smile. Both of them have been together for so long, and they have a tacit understanding with each other. How could he not hear Xiao Linglong's voice?

Xiao Linglong puffed her lips and smiled without saying a word, and the two continued to move forward. After a few steps, Xiao Linglong, who was silent for a moment, suddenly said, "I never worry about you, because you are far smarter and more insightful than me. I'm just reminding you of one thing... Now that you have arrived at Qixing Mountain, you should find out the depth here and clarify your position."

Chu Tianya couldn't help but feel moved, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Ai followed the two of them and was confused. At this time, he was still a little annoy, "Brother Chu, Princess Xiao, you two meet again after the great disaster. Can't you say some sweet words of love like ordinary men and women? Whenever you get together, you are looking at the world in terms of national affairs. Are you tired?"

"If the child doesn't understand, don't interrupt and play with mud!" Chu Tianya laughed and scolded angrily, "It's time to talk about it, you come and get over!"

Xiao Linglong smiled and said, "Xiao Ai, go to Qixingtang to wait for us first. Go and report safety to the old man and Xiaofei, saying that we will be there soon."

"Well, I won't eavesdrop on your confidential talks!" Xiao Ai's Ying Cheng laughed a few times and walked forward briskly.

Xiao Linglong took Chu Tianya around for a long time, walked to a peak cliff at the back door of Yuheng Palace, and stood on a big blue stone platform that stretched out like a tongue. The two stood side by side and looked into the distance. They looked into the green peaks and clouds. The green grass under their feet was like strange flowers, and the clouds beside them surrounded the wind and cranes, which was really like a fairyland.

"Whenever I feel depressed, I will come here to overlook the mountains or meditate. It won't be long before my mood will naturally relax. Xiao Linglong looked straight ahead and whispered, "The more things you experience, the greater the change in people's mood. My greatest wish and happiness two or three years ago was to go hunting with my father and brother!"

Chu Tianya nodded, "After this battle of Taiyuan, I seem to have a feeling of being reborn again. The current idea and understanding are completely different from before.

"Have you become sober and rational, or are you more confused or give up?" Xiao Linglong asked.

Chu Tianya shook his head bitterly and smiled, "You can always see the depths of my heart. Soberness, reason, confusion, and death, all of which exist in my heart!"

Xiao Linglong nodded and sighed gently, "Aren't I the same as you? Maybe it's because we are the same kind of people that we see each other so clearly.

Chu Tianya nodded and didn't say anything. After the tragic war in Taiyuan, the mentality of the two has changed. Although Xiao Linglong did not make it clear, the meaning of her words was nothing more than that when she became sober and rational, she felt confused or desperate for the great ideal of "rejuing Liao".

Doesn't Chu Tianya feel the same way? Previously, his "ideal" was to protect Taiyuan's life. Although the ending is annoying and disappointing, this "ideal" has barely been achieved - so what about in the future?

At this moment, the two of them stood side by side on the bluestone platform, but they felt as if they were standing at a crossroads. They didn't know which direction they would take the next step.

"What did you mean by letting me ' figure out the depth here' just now?" Chu Tianya broke the silence.

"This is your top priority, because it is related to your future direction and way out." At this moment, Xiao Linglong's speech style is seriously inconsistent with her age, as if she is an old-fashioned senior politician listening to Chu Tianya.

"Why don't you talk about it in detail?" Chu Tianya is interested.

"Tell me first how long you plan to live in Qixingzhai?" Xiao Linglong asked.

"I don't know." Chu Tianya shook his head, "Maybe three or five days, maybe three or five years, or maybe a lifetime."

"Actually, I should know the answer if I don't ask. You are exactly the same as what I thought when I came to Qixing Village on the first day. Xiao Linglong smiled and said, "If it hadn't been forced by the world, no one would really want to be a mountain thief. I dare say that everyone in the cottage thinks like this. They all hope that one day they can leave the cottage and live a safe and happy life; but they are worried that the world outside the mountain is too dangerous and dark, so they are indecisive - in other words, everyone is thinking about the future of Qixingzhai.

Chu Tianya's heart moved, and he turned his head and looked at Xiao Linglong seriously. Because of her, she finally got to the point.

"You should understand that the so-called way out is not as simple as leaving the cottage." Xiao Linglong was still staring at herself, still calmly looking ahead, and said softly, "The Battle of Taiyuan is also a major turning point for Qixingzhai. Because most of the people were fooling around before, and after today, they don't want tomorrow. After the First World War in Taiyuan, the Song Dynasty and the State of Jin are bound to have a full-scale war. In the end, there will be only one left in the two countries, and the pattern outside the mountains will be earth-shaking. This also means that we, a group of horses, can no longer close the Zhaimen and enjoy the life of a paradise in the past. The skin does not exist, and the hair is attached. That's the reason.

"Listen to your voice, most of the people in the cottage still want to be loyal to the Song Dynasty and resist the Jin people?" Chu Tianya said.

"More than 90% of the cottages are Han people. If you want to choose between the Song Dynasty and the Kingdom of Jin, the answer is obvious." Xiao Linglong said, "In the past, our group of mountain thieves were the enemies of the Song Dynasty, because we plundered the prefectures and counties and collided with the government; but the invasion of the Jurchens made the mountain thieves and the government have a common enemy - loyalty to the Song Dynasty to resist the Jin people, which is undisputed. But..."

Xiao Linglong wanted to speak and stopped, but Chu Tianya had already understood the meaning of her words. She nodded with a smile and said, "I understand what you mean. Are you trying to remind me that there are different opinions and propositions about how to be loyal to the Song Dynasty?

Xiao Linglong looked sideways at Chu Tianya and nodded with a smile, "You are really not stupid. Perhaps you should have guessed that because of different opinions and propositions, different factions have formed within the cottage.

Chu Tianya shook his head with a smile, "Sure enough, where there are people, there is rivers and lakes, and where there are people, there is politics."

"Qixingzhai is not a paradise that is beyond competition with the world." Xiao Linglong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There are also fights here. Although it is not as fierce and dark as the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, it is the same... deadly!"

"It's understandable." Chu Tianya nodded, "So can you tell me now which factions are in the cottage?"

"Two shares." Xiao Linglong lowered her voice and said bluntly, "In short, it's Zhao'an and not!"

"I should have thought of it a long time ago." Chu Tianya nodded with a wry smile on his face - how similar is this to the situation of Shuibo Liangshan? Perhaps, all mountain thieves and grass bandits will have such a complicated idea.

As Xiao Linglong said, if it is not forced by the situation, no one is really willing to be a thief, and being a thief is not a long-term way out. Even if you can hide and live your life, what about your sons and grandchildren? The only way out is to "bleach" yourself as a good citizen. Obviously, there are not many ways to do this - it seems to be a shortcut to accept the court's condoning and enjoy the amnesty of the law!

Chu Tianya naturally thought of Song Jiang, who was "looking forward to Zhao'an day and night" in Water Margin. He succeeded in his operation, but few of the 108 heroes on Liangshan had a good end, which made Song Jiang attract a lot of bad names. In fact, think about it the other way around. What can Liang Shan people do if they don't recruit peace? Can they change the dynasty to create a history?

"Water Margin" is certainly not credible for novelists. But Fang La, who made a revolution in the south of the Yangtze River a few years ago, was very powerful. They insisted on fighting against the court to the end and never said any advice. Didn't they die quickly?

"Do you think Qixingzhai should be recruited or not?" Xiao Linglong suddenly turned her head and looked at Chu Tianya, with brilliance in her eyes.

If this kind of question is asked by anyone else, Chu Tianya will not answer it. He has a thousand ways to avoid talking about this ** topic; even if it is unavoidable, he will be smooth to ensure that he will not fall behind.

But Xiao Linglong is not someone else.

"If I become a member of the cottage in the future, then I will firmly oppose Zhao'an." Chu Tianya said, "The reason is very simple. The court of the Song Dynasty is like a big ship that is decaying and about to sink. Why do we cry and shout to squeeze into the boat?"

"Since you don't recruit, where is the way out?" It seems that Xiao Linglong is going to break the casserole to the end.

Chu Tianya smiled indifferently and said, "Song lost his deer, and the world will pursue it together. How can those who are talented get it!"

"I know this allusion from the famous vertical and horizontal lobbyist when Chu and Han competed with each other - Ai Tong. However, what he said was 'Qin lost his deer'. The corners of Xiao Linglong's mouth tilted up slightly, blinked the bright beautiful eyes and looked at Chu Tianya and said, "You are really ambitious!"

"Which man doesn't like beauty, wine and wealth? Let's not talk about whether you can get it or not, but if you don't even have ambition, won't it be interesting to live? Chu Tianya smiled and said, "I don't know if my answer can satisfy you?"

Xiao Linglong smiled and said nothing. As she walked, she said, "At least, I didn't push you off the cliff!"
