Chapter 139 Standing up

Two days later, Jiao Wentong, who cleaned up the battlefield in Huanglong Valley, led most of the people and came back with a large number of trophies.

The cheers in Qixingzhai were thunderous and they were celebrating. For the cottage, there is nothing more inspiring than such a victory, and there is nothing more exciting than a trophy.

The celebration officially began. The banquet was held in the seven peaks and seven main palaces. All the members and the families of the women participated. In the Qixing Hall, the leaders gathered together to drink and talk.

It really has the taste of "celebrating all over the world". Even Guanshan and Jiao Wentong said that this is the largest "event event" in the history of Qixingzhai, and there has never been as festive as it is now.

This is not surprising, because no matter how powerful Qixingzhai was before, it was just a horse thief at best. It can't win a decent battle, and it can't rob a rich booty like today.

Since it is a celebration meeting, it is inevitable to "comparate credit". The leaders were quite modest. They gave up the head of this victory to the strategy-making Bai Xu, followed by Xiao Linglong, who went deep into Taiyuan to cooperate with the officers and soldiers, and then Xue Yu, who captured the god of Wanyan Valley and other brave leaders.

The two masters, Guan Shan and Jiao Wentong, did not participate in such a credit comparison. Chu Tianya is not a copycat now, so naturally he has no share. However, everyone agrees that the battle of Taiyuan can have today's situation, and Chu Tianyagong is unmatched in the overall situation, and even Baixu is incomparable. To put it bluntly, the whole Qixingzhai is just a piece in Chu Tianya's overall plan. Today, the cottage can get so many benefits, and it should be Chu Tianya.

Some people suggested that since Chu Tianya has gone to the cottage, it is reasonable to join the group and become a leader immediately. Bai He, who led the head, also agreed. He said that if Chu Tianya was willing to join the copycat at this time, then the head was his. The reward of merit alone is enough for him to rise later and compare with the "six leaders" in the current cottage.

Bai Shen's intention is profound. He clearly saw the potential of Chu Tianya, the "commander of the light pole". Not to mention that these abilities he showed in the Battle of Taiyuan can make the cottage like a tiger. The people standing behind him and beside him - Meng De, Ma Qian, He Bo, including Wang and his father and son, the Chu army, including all the soldiers and civilians who survived after the First World War of Taiyuan, can be regarded as the background and confidence of Chu Tianya. In addition, Guanshan and Jiao Wentong, the two owners of the seven-star village, are more optimistic about Chu Tianya. Xue Yu once received his life-saving kindness, not to mention Xiao Linglong...

For all these things, there is no reason for Qixingzhai not to leave Chu Tianya, and treat it kindly and reuse it.

But Chu Tianya refused because the matter of Taiyuan was not over. The father and son of the Wang family, Zhang Xiaochun and many people who were born and died with him in Taiyuan are now in trouble and facing punishment and investigation by the imperial court. At the beginning, if it hadn't been for Wang Yu and others who stood up and threw themselves into this battle of Taiyuan, it would not have been today's situation. In addition, many cases were actually committed by Chu Tianya (a metaphor for plotting Tong Guan, conframing Ye Lyu gambling, and killing Liu Yanqing). Now that he has escaped, it is the father and son of the Wang family to set up the cylinder for him. This kind of thing of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge and being alone is unreasonable, and it is too unrighteous!

If you don't even care about righteousness, what qualifications do you have to stand in the cottage?

Chu Tianya said these words, on the one is to show his "willingness to join the cottage" attitude, and on the other is to put a little pressure on Guan Shan and Jiao Wentong, so that they don't do that kind of 'forget the well digger' thing, and urge them to find a way to save the father and son of the Wang family and solve the Taiyuan dilemma.

Chu Tianya's concerns are not unreasonable. Because, although Qixing Mountain participated in this battle of Taiyuan and made great contributions in the final battle of Huanglong Valley, there is a suspicion that "sniper and clams compete and fishermen make profits", and their nature as "mountain thieves ring horses" has not changed much - this also means that the battle of Taiyuan is over, especially After Wang's loss of power, the alliance between Taihang and the officers and soldiers ended.

Qixing Mountain will return to its old business from now on - since it is a mountain thief, how can it be in charge of the government?

Therefore, Chu Tianya refused to join the group on the surface. In fact, he raised the word "righteousness" most valued by the people in the green forest, fiercely took Guan Shan and Jiao Wentong's army, and forced them to express their position.

Sure enough, after Chu Tianya said these words, the atmosphere at the scene changed slightly. Everyone looked at Guan Shan, the owner of the village, but Guan Shan was surprisingly silent.

Chu Tianya remembered that at the beginning of the mountain, Guan Shan had expressed his position on him and was willing to find a way to save the Wang family and his son. His current silence makes Chu Tianya a little annoyed and a little puzzled.

At the same time, I don't know whether it was out of tacit understanding or **, Jiao Wentong was also silent. The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became more awkward.

Bai Yi came out of the round and said to Chu Tianya in public, "The Chu brothers are very loyal, and I admire them very much. Taiyuan has now fallen into the hands of the royal court, and we are not very familiar with the personal situation. Why don't you wait for me to send someone to the city to find out the news first, and then make a detailed agreement.

"That's all I have to do." Although Bai Xuan said this smoothly and did not directly say that he could not save people, Chu Tianya was not aggressive and came down the stairs. He vaguely felt that the question he raised may have touched the nerves of a ** in Qixingzhai, causing Guanshan and Jiao Wentong, the two most righteous people, to fall into a strange silence for a moment.

After the banquet, Chu Tianya, He Bo and others returned to Kaiyang Palace together. The leaders were as enthusiastic and thoughtful as usual, but it can be seen that compared with two or three days ago, they had deliberately kept a certain distance from Chu Tianya. Even Xue Yu did not stay to stay with Uncle He, but returned to his mountain palace.

Chu Tianya was a little depressed. It was late at night, and he still couldn't sleep when he lay in **.

At this time, the door was knocked. It was Meng De who came. Chu Tianya quickly got up and welcomed him into the room. Meng De also brought a pot of wine and some sweets to drink, and the two brothers sat down and drank.

"I saw that the light was still on in your room and knew that you hadn't slept yet, so I came." Meng De poured wine for Chu Tianya and said, "Brother, you seem to be a little upset today?"

"No." In front of Meng De, Chu Tianya didn't have to hide anything, so he said, "Originally, I thought that Qixingzhai, which had always put righteousness first, would not hesitate to save the father and son of the Wang family. I didn't expect it to be such an embarrassment.

"It's not strange." Meng De smiled with a deep smile and said, "After all, you are not from the green forest. You may not be able to understand many of these twists and turns for a while."

"Then please ask the seventh brother to teach me." Chu Tianya holds a boxing.

Meng De smiled, "You and my brother, why do you say such words? - In short, in the hearts of us green forest heroes, the government will always be our enemy. Even if we form an alliance for a while, the position of our opposition has not changed. From the standpoint of the copycat, no matter what happens in the government or the army, we can't reach out and interfere. Just watch the fire across the shore or ignore it.

"I understand that." Chu Tianya nodded with a frown, "But the matter of Wang's father and son can't be generalized."

Meng De smiled and said, "Brother, if you stand in the position of Guan Shan and Jiao Wentong and think about the matter of Wang's father and son, you can completely 'generalize'. Think about it, from the beginning to the end, the people and horses of the Taihang Mountains, including the 18 villages of Xishan, are righteous and independent. They have never been attached to the king's command or included in the command of the officers and soldiers. Once the war is over, we have nothing to do with Wang Ji, the government and the army. How does the imperial court find Wang Zhi to liquidate? That's the internal affairs of the government. What does it have to do with the cottage? - They didn't worship Wang Zhi as their godfathers, nor did they experience the siege in Taiyuan City!"

Meng De's last sentence can be said to be the key point.

"I don't deny that I'm going to rescue Wang, including my personal emotional factors. But what I want to think more is to make the righteousness of Qixingzhai more far-reaching and extensive. Chu Tianya said, "The Jurchens have not been defeated in the eleven years, so there are crazy words that 'the feminism is dissatisfied and invincible'. However, in the Battle of Taiyuan, especially the Battle of Huanglong Valley, the great defeat of Wanyan Zonghan ruined his prestige. This should have been a great wedge machine for Qixingzhai, which was famous and famous all over the world. But what I saw was that the whole cottage stopped in front of me and was satisfied with the acquisition of some trophies. Sitting in the well and watching the complacent mountain thief's true colors can be seen at a glance! ... Seriously, I'm a little disappointed!"

Meng De couldn't help but brighten his eyes. "Brother, do you mean that Qixingzhai should gain more fame and honor by saving Wang?"

"Shouldn't it be?" Chu Tianya said, "Whether it is out of righteousness, reputation, or for profit, Qixingzhai has sufficient reasons to try its best to save the father and son of the Wang family! - Now in the Song Dynasty, it is clear that the officials are mediocre and the court is corrupt, resulting in the hearts of the people and the invasion of foreign enemies. At this time, if someone can stand at the highest point of morality and raise their arms, it will become the most dazzling flag in the Song Dynasty and lay a solid foundation for future growth and development!"

"It makes sense!" Meng De nodded with deep thought and agreed, "In the battle of Huanglong Valley, the Taihang Rebel Army broke the myth of the invincible female real people in one fell swoop, which could undoubtedly give them great praise and inspire the morale of the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty. Now that we have won such fame and prestige, we should take this opportunity to develop and grow. Wang was loyal to protect his family and the country, but he was liquidated by the court. If Qixing Mountain can stand up and save them with righteousness, then their righteousness and the thin feelings of the court will form a huge contrast and contrast. What people want is clear at a glance... I have to say that this is indeed a good opportunity to become famous. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Chu Tianya's eyebrows sank and said, "As long as Qixingzhai dares to take action, I dare not say anything else. At least those Taiyuan soldiers and civilians who once followed Wang to fight against gold will be determined to support and follow!" The people who can survive the battle of Taiyuan are not ordinary people. There are still 10,000 or 20,000 people under my Chu family army and the surviving victory and victory army! - This is an interest that can be seen at a glance. In addition, there are tens of millions of people in Hedong, including the Erzhou of Shuodai and Hebei. They hate the invading Jurchens from the bottom of their hearts, and in turn will strongly support the king of the anti-golden protection of the country. The court ruled the king, that is, he stood on the opposite side of the people's emotions. They dare to be angry and can't help, but if someone can stand up and take the lead, these people dare to support it! At that time, the strength of Qixingzhai will grow at a speed that they can't imagine, like a snowball - public opinion, people's hearts! Since you are in troubled times, is there any more valuable wealth than this under that day?

Meng De's face has changed a little, which is not only grim but also amazing, "Brother, you are really far-sighted and ambitious! Why don't you talk to Guan Shan and Jiao Wentong about these words? In fact, they are all smart people and always value righteousness and integrity. It's impossible for them not to listen to this truth.

Chu Tianya shook his head with a wry smile, "Today, I just started, and they all returned to silence. No one sings with me. Do you want me to perform alone and talk to myself on such an occasion? ... Besides, I'm just an outsider now. It is not a trivial matter to go to the government to rescue people. It may also cause a big armed conflict, which will affect the future and fate of the whole cottage. If Qiangbin doesn't oppress the master, how can I speak without permission?

"It's true..." Meng De frowned and his face tightened. Under the oil lamp, several new and old scars on his face were particularly eye-catching, and even a little ferocious.

Suddenly, Meng De slapped him on the table, "Brother, the help of outsiders is not expected, but don't you still have me? - I have gathered some people who have been scattered in the West Mountain. Although the quantity is not large, it is important to dare to work hard! If you have an idea, I will help you save people! - Then let's go back to Xishan together to hold high the banner of resisting gold and save the people and rebuild Qingyun Fort!"

Chu Tianya frowned and looked at Meng De, and couldn't help sighing in his heart!

With the passage of time, Meng De has lost his beloved wife, clan, and thousands of iron-blooded men under his command. He even tried his best to describe the withered, no longer the majestic demeanor and thunderous voice of the past.

But he is still like that, without hesitation and up to the sky!
