Chapter 141 Conspiracy differentiation
Of course, Chu Tianya knows what Meng De means. So he went to close the door and asked Meng De to sit down at ease and said to him, "Brother Seven, don't be angry. I don't think the people of Qixingzhai are so unrighteous.
"Why not?" Meng De's face was very gloomy. He almost gritted his teeth and said, "The heavy profit is currently related to life and death, and everyone can reinjugate!" - I heard that Shanzhai took the initiative to send someone to contact Xu Han to discuss the matter of 'Zhao'. Xu Han immediately responded, sending people to Shanzhai to reward the righteous soldiers who have made contributions to fighting against gold. The two sides are obviously in a mess. Once they reached a peace agreement, they became a group, leaving only our brothers and Wang and his son aside. All the responsibilities for the death of Tong Guan and Liu Tingqing will completely fall on us! - I have no doubt that they will hand over us outsiders to the court for cross-commen!"
"The words of the seventh brother make a little sense. But after all, it's just speculation." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "I don't think the people of Qixingzhai are so naive, and they will completely listen to Xu Han's arrangement and mercy. Especially Bai Xu, in Xiao Linglong's words, he said that he is a cunning 'white-haired fox'. Will he believe Xu Han? Seventh brother, haven't you ever said that Xiangma and the government are always opposed. Xu Han suddenly behaved so hot that he smelled like weasels giving New Year's greetings to chickens. He didn't have a good heart - will the people in Qixingzhai not see it?
"Brother, you're right. But Brother Yu wants to remind you that you don't think too well of the people of Qixingzhai! If they are all good Bodhisattvas who eat fast and recite Buddha's Buddhas, how can they go up the mountain and fall into the grass? - Killing people and licking blood with a knife is the nature of the grass bandit! It's not my villain's heart to be a gentleman's belly. We must have the heart to guard against others! In case Qixingzhai wants to hand us over in exchange for the survival and future of tens of thousands of people in the whole village, or Xu Han seizes their weaknesses and threatens them and forces them to hand over - it will only be us who suffer!" Meng De said to Chu Tianya very seriously, "As long as the two sides collude, we will all die. In a word, I think it's too passive for our brothers to live under people's eyes like this. It's better to leave as soon as possible than to put it on the table like sacrificial livestock here and wait for slaughter!"
"The seventh brother said it." Chu Tianya smiled relaxedly, raised his eyebrows gently, and whispered, "I bet that they can't reach a match, but one day they will fight face to face!"
Meng De smiled miserably and shook his head. "Since my brother thinks so, I have nothing to say. Anyway, you can make a decision. As a brother, I believe in you. You can do whatever you want. Whether it's heaven or earth, I'll accompany you!"
"Thank you, Brother Seven." Chu Tianya said gratefully with a smile on his face. In fact, he didn't understand that what Meng De said was very reasonable, especially the sentence "it is indispensable to guard against others". In any case, Meng De used to be the master of a copycat, and he was far more experienced in things on the green forest than himself.
But before the facts are clear, Chu Tianya doesn't want to have a relationship with Qixingzhai just by guessing. Now he can't go back to being a good citizen; at least for now, Qixingzhai is the only place where he and Meng De, He Bo and others live. Even if you just use this place as a springboard for transition, you should step firmly under your feet.
The days of being homeless and being chased and escaping are not so good.
Although the current situation is critical, the organization in Chu Tianya's heart is very clear. The first is to stabilize Meng De and let him not be impatient. Don't turn against Qixingzhai because of impulse. Even if you want to run away and be independent, you have to gather a certain strength and spend the current gasp and recuperation period. Second, you must not let Qixingzhai and Xu Han make peace!
The reason is very simple.
In private, as Meng De said, if the two parties hook up, the only people who can't tolerate it are Chu Tianya. Xu Han wants to take Chu Tianya back to the court to receive the reward, and Qixingzhai will treat him as a form of Zhao'an bleaching!
For Yu Gong, the Taihang Rebels finally made some achievements in troubled times, and the future is also bright. If the government becomes an officer and army at this time, it is nothing more than a white practice into the dyeing tank, and there will be no more work in the future! Whether it's Guanshan or Jiao Wentong, including Xue Yu and Xiao Linglong, their ending is nothing more than a realistic version of Water Margin!
After all, Meng De is a person who has experienced the vicissitudes of life. Although he has a stronger sense of crisis than Chu Tianya, the righteousness in his heart and trust in Chu Tianya completely suppress everything. Seeing Chu Tianya sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai like this, he also suppressed his impulse and let's see how his brother was at the mercy and how to make a decision!
At this moment, what he was thinking about was that Chu Tianya, who played such a big game of chess as the Battle of Taiyuan, played it freely and won a complete victory - this pattern of Qixingzhai, I think he can easily win it!
Meng De, once again chose to believe in Chu Tianya without reservation!
The messenger sent by Xu Han stayed in Qixing Hall for a day. After the banquet, there was a private meeting. The participants in the cottage were only about Shan, Jiao Wentong and Bai Xu, and even Xiao Linglong and Xue Yu did not attend. I don't know what they talked about during this period.
Chu Tianya just took it as if nothing had happened, and everything was as usual and calm. Because he knew that there was at least one person who would not put him in the dark and would tell him the whole story.
Sure enough, after nightfall, Xiao Linglong came.
Yuheng Palace, known as the "daughter country" in the cottage, is only one mountain road away from the Kaiyang Palace where Chu Tianya lives. But not everyone can enter the daughter country. Even if a person like Guan Shan wants to visit, he must be notified in advance. Ordinary people have to go around there.
The small copper stove is on the charcoal fire, and the water has been boiled. When Chu Tianya just added some tea, Xiao Linglong knocked on the door and entered.
"Are you waiting for someone?" Xiao Linglong looked at a few pairs of beds and two pairs of tea sets prepared by Chu Tianya and asked.
Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "I remember you said that you had a hobby of tasting tea when you were in Liaoning. Let's try my craft today! But I'm not good at this new school. Don't laugh at it.
"So, do you know I'm coming?" Xiao Linglong sat down with a smile and tasted a trace of joy on her face, "Birun Mingyue - the craftsmanship is good!"
"Master!" Chu Tianya couldn't help giving a thumbs up, "Yes, it's the bright moon!" Last time, the booty that Brother Jiao got in Huanglongquan brought two packs of filial piety to Uncle He. As a result, I took advantage of it.
"How's the old man recently? How is the injury recovering?" Xiao Linglong asked.
"Did you come to see him or talk to me?" Chu Tianya went straight into the topic.
"All of them." Xiao Linglong smiled slightly and looked directly into Chu Tianya's eyes, "You should know what happened today, right?"
"I know." Chu Tianya did not hide it.
"Then why don't you listen to it? Do you think that the imperial envoys go up the mountain to be with you? Xiao Linglong asked.
"What do you think I should do? Jump up and down and shout loudly, or cry and plead with a handful of tears and a snot? Chu Tianya laughed.
"You are quite calm." Xiao Linglong shook her head, "Or have you been right for a long time? I will definitely inform you?"
"Don't speak so hard, as if I were a spy." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "These are originally the internal affairs of the cottage. If you are willing to tell me, it is out of respect for me and not treating me as an outsider; if you don't tell me, it is justifiable. As a guest, how can I inquire without permission without knowing the rules?
"You will play this kind of pout-mindedness." Xiao Linglong curled her lips contemptuously, but immediately smiled again, "Well, can we not go around the circle?"
Chu Tianya nodded with a smile, "Tell me, what did Xu Han's people say when they came up the mountain?"
"With high-ranking officials and generous wealth, he promised to reward and treat him well, and Zhao'an Qixingzhai returned to the imperial court, under the command of Hedong Xuanfu Division to rebuild Taiyuan and consolidate the border defense." Xiao Linglong answered simply and clearly.
"What about the conditions?" Chu Tianya frowned lightly.
"Maybe this is what you really care about, right?" Xiao Linglong gently raised the corners of her mouth, "The condition is to hand over the imperial criminal of the imperial court, Fang Layu Party Chen | Xizhen - that is, Uncle He; and you."
Chu Tianya couldn't help laughing, "That's good. I can actually be compared with the old man."
"The Battle of Taiyuan was far more influential than the Fangla Rebellion at the beginning; Tokyo in the Song Dynasty was exposed to the city by female soldiers, and the diplomatic relations between the two countries suddenly changed. Your inconspicuous little role has played an immeasurable role in this. Xiao Linglong said, "So the weight of the old man is not as important as you. Xu Han seemed to know that the old man was the master of Brother Jiao and Brother Xue, so he did not ask for the old man very hard - but for you, he was determined to get it!"
"That's right. This is the wrist that the court staff should have." Chu Tianya sneered, "Chao'an is false, and differentiation is true. As soon as the messenger went up the mountain, the whole Qixingzhai immediately exploded, and there was no peace from then on. If it falls into civil strife, it is not impossible. Xu Han sat on the wall and watched the fire across the bank, waiting for the benefit of the fisherman.
"You're right." Xiao Linglong's face sank a little, "As soon as the messenger went up the mountain and didn't say a few words, Xue Yu went away angrily and almost made a fire on the spot."
"What's going on?" Chu Tianya asked.
"Because the messenger opened his mouth and said, please ask Qixingzhai to take the capture of the Jin Kingdom - Wanyan Valley God back to him." Xiao Linglong replied.
Chu Tianya was slightly stunned, "I ignored this point. Wanyan Valley God was captured by Xue Yu from the battle, and he is still in custody by him in person. The owner of Guanzhai and Brother Jiao have not asked about it. As soon as the messenger came up the mountain, he came to ask for someone. It must be Wanyan Zonghan who exerted pressure on Xu Han through diplomatic means.
"It should be." Xiao Linglong nodded, "I guess Brother Xue wants to exchange Wanyan Valley God back... He is trapped in the Kingdom of Jin!"
Chu Tianya woke up and said, "It's very likely!"
"Xue Sange is the most infatuated one of all the people I have ever seen. Unfortunately, he doesn't know where his wife is now, whether she is dead or alive. But as long as there is a glimmer of hope for reunion, he will never let it go. I'm afraid this is the only hope for him to survive now. Xiao Linglong said, "So, if it hadn't been for the presence of the eldest brother and the second brother today, Xue Sange would have killed the messenger with a knife."
"So, Xue Yu is even less interested in things like Zhao'an?"
"Of course." Xiao Linglong said, "Xue Sange was once under the jurisdiction of the soldiers and horses of the famous mansion. In those years, he had a serious conflict with the magistrate because he was eager to find his beloved wife and was dismissed from prison. In anger, he killed the official and escaped from prison, washed the magistrate's office single-handedly, and committed the crime of unforgiveness to the death. It was the eldest brother and the second brother who personally rescued him from the cottage. Since then, Xue Sange has been completely desperate for the government and the army. Although he never expressed his opinion on the battle of Zhao'an, I know that if Qixingzhai decides to surrender to the government, the first one to leave must be Xue Yu. Of course, he will not be the only one. In that way, it will be as you said. Xu Han's plan to divide the cottage and collect profits is really successful!"
