Chapter 148 Brothers Meet

After two nights of trekking day and night, Chu Tianya, Xiao Linglong and others arrived in Xishan at dawn.

After taking dozens of miles of mountain road, they finally avoided Xu Han's sphere of influence in Taiyuan. However, as soon as it entered the mountain forest of Tianlong Mountain, it was intercepted - Qingyun Fort, tight defense!

Without much effort, Chu Tianya showed his identity. It seems that the Qingyun Fort suddenly grew up and down overnight, and no one has long known the name of Chu Tianya. When the leader heard that the betrod brother of the owner of the big village was coming, he was so happy that he danced. He enthusiastically invited them up the mountain and escorted them all the way to the Qingyunbao Dazhai Gate.

Revisiting the old place has changed the world.

After a devastating Qingyunbao, it has been reborn like Phoenix Nirvana. Although there are still some wounds and traces left by the sunset war on the bouldered wall, the whole city has been raised and strengthened many times and become more majestic. The mountain forest next to the periphery of the fortress was pushed forward half a miles by the flat ground, and the urn and hanging gates to consolidate the defense were built.

The arrows and towers are rolling, and the soldiers are shining with snow and iron armor. It is a powerful scene of strong soldiers and strong horses!

"Look at the orderly layout of this city's defense. It's no longer an ordinary cottage - Meng De is a general!" Uncle He couldn't help praising, "I can't imagine that in just one month, Qingyun Fort, which was destroyed by the Jurchens, not only restored the previous atmosphere, but also more vigorous and majestic!"

At this moment, dozens of huge horns more than one person long were suddenly set up on the head of the city, and more than 30 strong naked men swung their sledgehammers and stood in front of the drums.

The red flag shook in the air, and the golden drums sounded all over the world!

In Qingyunbao, the people and horses rushed to the sea and thundered, and thousands of troops and horses rushed to the village. The momentum was huge, neat and orderly, and there was a great momentum to attack.

In the face of this majestic momentum, the horse that Chu Tianya and others stepped on couldn't help jumping in panic.

"Chu official, my village owner is here to greet him!" The little leader who led the way came to report.

"The seventh brother is here." Chu Tianya was also excited and hurriedly got off the horse.

At this time, a horse like an arrow ran out of the gate of the cottage. The horse was like a squir and the man was like a wandering dragon.

"Good brother!! I want to die, brother!!" Meng De came with an angry horse and whip, but he was wearing pajamas and bare feet. Before the horse stopped, he jumped down and almost fell down. He still ran to Chu Tianya with a loud laugh.

"Third brother!"

The two brothers intertwined and bowed down, laughed together, and then hugged each other tightly. They were so excited that they couldn't stop themselves.

Above the head of the city, the horns are loud and the clouds are shaking, and the giant drums are rumbling and the birds are shocked.

Thousands of people and horses lined up inside and outside the cottage gate, holding knives and guns high and cheering for thunder.

Mendela raised one hand high in Chu Tianya and shouted hoarsely, "Brothers! This is my blood brother Meng Laoqi - Taiyuan Chu Tianya! From today on, Meng Laoqi is Chu Tianya, and Chu Tianya is Meng Laoqi!"

"Roar-Roar!!"

He Bo and Xiao Linglong, not far behind them, took a long breath and looked at each other with a gratifying smile.

Xiao Ai, who rode with Xiao Linglong, sobbed with excitement. While wiping his tears, he said, "It's so touching! Brother Meng and Brother Chu are really more intimate than their own brothers!"

Xiaofei, who returned to Qingyunbao, hid for a long time and secretly cried alone.

At this time, Ma Yan, who received the news slowly, also came to greet him with a group of people. There are more than 20,000 horses in the cottage, and Ma Yu mainly leads the Ma army. The reconstruction of the cottage and the formation of the army were mostly based on the suggestion of Ma Yu, a battlefield veteran, which made the reborn Qingyunbao a messy bandit spirit of a mountain thief, which is quite a formal militarized style.

Meng De was really happy today. He didn't care that he was barefoot in his pajamas. In this way, he took Chu Tianya's hand and invited everyone into the cottage.

After suffering from that battle, Qingyunbao was devastated. A Nirvana fire almost completely destroyed this century-old military castle. Even when the real woman broke through the cottage, it was even more difficult to find the robes of the imperial village and the house to avoid the wind and snow.

The former Qingyunbao left an indelible strong mark on the Jurchens in such a tragic way. Today, it comes back from the dead and stands proudly!

Compared with the leisurely scene full of pastoral joy in the past, the current Qingyun Fort is more majestic and powerful, full of military atmosphere. On top of the original ruins, many barracks, stables, school grounds and generals have been built. The castle fully implements the discipline and system in the army.

The four camps are listed in the gates, and the Bafang army patrols the whole castle. The residential area and the military camp are planned separately. There are also small workshops, merchants and fruit garden fishing markets inside. The grain and materials on and off the whole fort are centrally stored and closely guarded.

It can be said that although the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs, the pattern is solemn and serious!

"In just one month, the seventh brother let Qingyunbao change the world, a big deal!" Chu Tianya praised from the bottom of his heart.

Meng De laughed and said, "In troubled times, I accept poor families and exiles from all over the world. Everyone's common wish is to have a stable home and eat three full meals. Therefore, every time I go out to borrow food, all three military uses their lives and go forward and follow; but to build a home, everyone sleeps at night and does their best! Now, there are more than 25,400 elite soldiers in the whole castle, with a total population of more than 40,000! In just one month, Qingyunbao has completely returned to its former weather, and there will be people coming every day! -Brother, do you see that the current Qingyunbao is a whole circle bigger than before, and every inch of land in the castle will be developed and used. There is inexhaustible firewood on the mountain, which allows us to build countless houses. It is roughly estimated that Qingyunbao can accommodate at least another 100,000 people now!"

"Amazing!" Chu Tianya was gratified and moved to praise, "Seventh brother, I'm convinced. You are really a big man!"

"Don't say that. Now my family is small, and I can barely manage it. Recruiting soldiers and robbing houses are all my old skills. But if the scale of his team gets bigger, especially in the face of life-and-death choices, I can't do it. You have to take charge of the overall situation. Meng De said, "Didn't our brother agree a long time ago? Here, it will be our common home in the future.

Chu Tianya looked at the people around him and smiled and said, "Seventh brother, I'm new here. Don't say such words - I'm hungry!"

"Haha! - Hurry up and have a banquet and wash the dust for my brother!"

Xiao Linglong, who was not far behind him, sighed lightly and said to Uncle He, "Sir, if Qixingzhai is not because of civil strife and faces the choice of way out, these weather in Xishan today should be in Qixingzhai."

"Yes! - This is called time and life!" The old man shook his head and said, "Why don't I be dissatisfied with my bad disciple Jiao Wentong? He was in power in a high position in Qixingzhai, but he could not see the current situation and ignored his responsibility. He stared at the word "Zhao'an" and competed with Guan Shan. He didn't want to make progress and delayed a good opportunity. Although he is a little capable, compared with the young master and Bai Xue, his eyes are much shorter. After all, he is just a martial artist, and it is difficult to become a master. In contrast, Meng De's ability may be better than him, but Meng De's greatest advantage is precisely Jiao Wentong's biggest flaw!"

"What does the old man mean?"

He Bo pointed to his chest, "Here! - heart, courage! Although Jiao Wentong is very loyal and a good man, he is so arrogant that he rarely really listens to the good advice of others. Meng De is different. He can afford it and let it go. He is as modest as a comoral, and he makes a promise. For brothers and friends, the two of them are equally loyal and trustworthy, but Jiao Wentong is used to being condescending, and Meng De is frank. Oh, it is the bad temperament that leads to a completely different scene from Qingyunbao and Qixingzhai today.

"Maybe it's true..." Xiao Linglong sighed gently, "Originally, after the battle of Huanglong Valley, Qixingzhai should have taken advantage of the thunder to develop and grow, but because of the wind attracted the interference of the court, and from then on, it fell into the state of entering and retreating. On the contrary, Meng De, who had nothing, could let go of Yibo, but had today's vigorous atmosphere.

"In this, you can't ignore the role of a person." He Bo said with a smile, "If Qixingzhai can fully accept him as a sergeant, listen to his opinions, and follow the way he said, everything that now belongs to Qingyunbao is in Qixingzhai, including Meng De and Ma Yu will only be summarized under the command of Qixingzhai."

Xiao Linglong blinked her eyes and pouted to Chu Tianya not far ahead, "You mean he?"

"Of course." Uncle He smiled and said, "Although he did not show mountains and water during this period, it directly affected the fate of the two cottages. If it hadn't been for his connection and guidance, Meng De and Ma Yan, two lonely people, could only be wandering around the world. How could they make a comeback with the help of Qixingzhai? On the contrary, if the leaders of Qixingzhai can put aside their opinions and generously accept the young master, Meng De and Ma Yan will not leave Qixingzhai to start their own business. After all, the view of the mountain thief's door is still too deep. This is a habit that they can't change.

"Well, it's true that the old man said this..." Xiao Linglong sighed again, "I thought that after Tianya went up the mountain, he would quickly integrate with the cottage and become one of us. Later, I learned that I was too naive to think about it. Although the cottage is very polite and enthusiastic to them, they always treat them as outsiders. Some important opportunities are rarely invited to discuss with them. Even I sometimes don't know. The opinion of the portal... Yes, it's this thing that has harmed Qixingzhai!"

"Well, it's all Jiao Wentong's fault!" Uncle He scolded, "It's because the boy is stubborn and can't tolerate things, so that Qixingzhai can't retain talents. Before that, didn't Yang Zaixing go down the mountain because he had a conflict with him? Guan Shan was forced by him to be helpless, so he had to take some people to accept Zhao'an first. The young master, Meng De and Ma Yu had to leave the cottage to start their own business - if he had Meng De's mind, how could Qixingzhai be comparable to Qingyunbao?

"Forget it, in fact, the second brother is a good person, but he has a superb reputation and a natural outstanding temperament..." Xiao Linglong didn't want to go on. After all, Jiao Wentong is her savior, and also the brother and patron saint who cherishes and cares her the most.

"All right, all right, let's not talk about him. I'll be angry if you say that!" Uncle He cut his hands on his back and swaggered forward and shouted with a smile, "Master Mengzhai, you only care about your brother's shabbyness, but you neglect the old man and another big man. Do you know your guilt?"

Meng De was shocked and hurried back a few steps and bent down to bow to He Bo. "The younger generation was too excited for a moment and snook the old man. Death, death!"

"The old man was born unconventional, and it's not a matter." He Bo smiled and pointed back, "Look there!"

"Princess Xiao!" Meng De suddenly became sensible. He laughed and quickly straightened his clothes and put on his shoes. He walked to Xiao Linglong and hugged his fists, "Princess Xiao is coming, and the fairy spirit of Qingyunbao is lingering! - If you come this time, don't leave again! Since then, Qingyunbao has been the princess's home!"

Xiao Linglong returned the salute and smiled and said, "If I had known that the owner of Mengzhai had treated people with sincerity and courtesy, I would have been rude. I would have stayed for a little more time." It's just that my home is in Qixingzhai!"

"Isn't it about marrying a chicken with a chicken and marrying a dog with a dog?" Meng De laughed loudly and said, "Princess Xiao, how about you condescending to marry my brother?"

Xiao Linglong was stunned, and her face turned red. She never expected that Meng De would suddenly talk about this problem in public, which caught her off guard.

At this moment, Ma Yu, He Bo, Xiaofei Xiaoai and the surrounding leaders began to get into trouble, urging Xiao Linglong to agree to get married. For a moment, it was so noisy that Xiao Linglong was extremely embarrassed.

When Chu Tianya saw Xiao Linglong's embarrassment, he couldn't help smiling bitterly and came forward and whispered to Meng De, "At present, the collapse of Qixingzhai is changing. How can Xiao Linglong have the intention to think about this? In addition, when Xiao Linglong comes to take shelter for a while, we will have the suspicion of falling into the well and digging the feet of the wall, which is unpleasant to hear from Guanshan and Jiao Wentong. Let's talk about it in a few days. Don't be in a hurry.

When Meng De heard it, it made sense. So he invited everyone to the banquet first. The joke continued, but he paid good attention to moderation and no longer urged marriage.

Xiao Linglong took a full breath. This kind of marriage-seeking style is obviously not what she likes. Fortunately, Meng De stopped in time, which made her feel relieved.

The reception banquet is very free. The long large table is full of wine dishes and roast lamb stew. Everyone shuttles back and forth like eating a flowing banquet and a buffet to persuade each other to drink, and entertain each other freely and enthusiastically.

Xiao Linglong was actually quite hungry, so she sat quietly with Xiao Ai and ate some food. Chu Tianya and the crowd drank a circle of wine and came to sit next to her. They smiled with a drunken smile and said, "You've been driving all night. Are you tired?"

"It's okay." Xiao Linglong nodded, but with a smile on her face.

"What, are you scared and angry?" Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Meng De is like this, straight, and doesn't have too many twists and turns."

"I don't blame him." Xiao Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, but stared at Chu Tianya, "When I was besieged, why didn't you come out to relieve the siege? Are you still watching the fun on one side, smiling with a sloof?

"The conscience of heaven and earth, if I hadn't secretly helped you out of danger, could Meng De let you go?" Chu Tianya laughed and said, "Besides, if I come forward to persuade you, won't the yellow mud fall into the crotch, which is even more difficult to argue?"

"Bah, ah, ah! I'm eating! - Go, drink your wine, don't disgust me!"
