Chapter 162 Belief

Because the mountains and forests here have not yet been opened, the trees and grass are overgrown. But there is a new path leading to the hill, and Chu Tianya winds up along here.

Not long after entering the mountain, he saw a stream of green smoke and smelled the fragrance of rice. Looking around, I saw a small hut set up somewhere in the dense forest, where someone was cooking on fire.

Chu Tianya approached curiously. It turned out that Ada and Anu were fiddling with the kitchen stove.

"Did you still repair the house?" Chu Tianya looked at the hut and it was quite strong, so he asked, "Where's the princess?"

"In the mountain, accompany Jiao Wentong." Ada clapped his hands and said blankly, "You shouldn't have come."

"Why?"

"They won't see you."

Chu Tianya nodded silently, pondered for a moment, and said, "Have you been taking care of Jiao Wentong's diet these days?"

"Don't take care of it. He didn't eat anything at all. Ada said, "These are our own food, and the princess."

Chu Tianya sighed, "I'll go and have a look."

"It's better not to go." Ada said, "Tang An will kill you."

Chu Tianya was stunned, "Why did he kill me?"

"If it hadn't been for you, Qixingzhai would not have been involved in the battle of Taiyuan, and would not have fallen into today's situation." Ada is still expressionless. "Guan Shan is like Tang Ang's father. So, he wants to kill you."

Chu Tianya sighed, shook his head and smiled, "Farewell."

Then he went to the top of the mountain.

Ada looked at his back and narrowed his triangular eyes. "I'm really not afraid of death. Tang An launched a fierce attack, and Anu and I may not be able to stand it together.

The hill is not high. Chu Tianya will reach the top of the mountain after walking for a while. In the distance, I saw a place where the vegetation was cut bare, and there was only a high trapezoidal grave. There were also three people kneeling in front of the grave, wearing filial piety and burning paper money.

Three people knelt down, and only one person was crying, and it was crying like a child, which was obviously Tang Ang's loud voice.

Chu Tianya couldn't help sighing. As soon as he moved his feet, Jiao Wentong and Xiao Linglong, who were sensitive to hearing, turned their heads at the same time.

Tang Ang also turned his head at any time. When he saw Chu Tianya at a glance, he jumped up like a tiger and punched Chu Tianya without saying a word!

It's true that the biting dog doesn't bark.

Looking at Tang Ang's huge body rushing like a locomotive, Chu Tianya really has a feeling of being overwhelmed by Mount Tai. This reckless man is really too strong. There is no need to doubt his hammer-like fists, which can smash a person's head with one punch!

"Tang Ang, stop it!" Xiao Linglong shouted in a hurry.

Tang Ang didn't listen. There was a beast-like roar between the roars, and he took three steps and two steps.

Chu Tianya can only hide. If you are really punched to death, you will only regret it when you go to the king of hell.

Guan Shan took a cold look, lowered his head, and continued to burn the paper.

"Second brother, why don't you dissuade him?" Xiao Linglong was anxious, "I really want to kill him..."

"How about it?" Jiao Wentong said lightly.

At this time, Chu Tianya had dodged Tang Ang's two attacks in confusion. Although this giant who is nearly two meters tall is huge, he is quite agile. Chu Tianya is obviously not his opponent and is in a dangerous situation.

"I don't live anymore!!" Xiao Linglong also said something wrong, and took out a flying knife and pointed it at her throat.

Jiao Wentong was throwing a few pieces of money paper into the fire basin. His fingertips trembled inexplicably and shouted in a low voice, " Stop."

Tang Ang, who was furious, seemed to have hit the fixed method. His big fist stopped in mid-air, gasping for breath, and tears flowed on his face.

Chu Tianya took a breath, patted the dirt on his body, and walked to the grave with the canteen. Without saying anything, he silently put the sacrifices and wax paper money in front of them, and then knelt down to worship the memorial.

Jiao Wentong was transparent as Chu Tianya. He still knelt down and burned paper money like that, without looking at him sideways. Xiao Linglong stood aside and nervously paid attention to the every move of Jiao Wentong and Tang Ang.

"Tang Ang, come here." Jiao Wentong suddenly said.

Tang An strode closer and stared at Chu Tianya angrily, "What's the second brother's order?"

"You go with him!" Jiao Wentong said indifferently, "There is also a little sister, you don't have to be here with me."

"What, with him?" Tang Ang angrily pointed to Chu Tianya, "It was he who killed the eldest brother. Let me follow him?"

Chu Tianya continued to worship Guanshan without squint, as if what happened in front of him had nothing to do with him.

At this time, Jiao Wentong looked sideways at Chu Tianya and said, "The eldest brother's last order to 'respect Chu' is to give you to him. Don't you listen to your eldest brother?"

"Me! ..." Tang Ang was anxious, but he couldn't find words to deal with it.

Jiao Wentong snorted coldly, "You are a portal slave. How can you get so much nonsense? From today on, he will be your master - get out of here! Don't bother me here!"

Tang Ang suddenly cried, knelt down softly, and kowtowed desperately on the ground. His forehead was broken, and blood flowed.

Xiao Linglong's eyes also turned red and whispered, "Second brother, why don't you come together? The eldest brother is in the spirit of heaven, and I don't want to see you like this.

"I'm already a useless person. I can't do anything else except guarding the grave for my eldest brother." Jiao Wentong said to himself, "If the little sister has a heart, just come and see it every once in a time. Let's go, let's go..."

At this time, Chu Tianya stood up, sighed and shook his head.

Jiao Wentong and Tang Ang both looked at him sideways.

"It seems that Brother Guan is really in vain." Chu Tianya shook his head.

"What are you talking about?" Tang An was furious and wanted to jump up again.

Xiao Linglong hurriedly jumped between him and Chu Tianya, "Tang Ang, calm down!"

Jiao Wentong turned his head again and snorted coldly, "Is it exciting?"

Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "I'm just sighing that Brother Guan, such a great hero, is not worth dying."

A trace of shame appeared on Jiao Wentong's face, and his eyes narrowed, "How can I see it?"

Chu Tianya said, "Then please ask Second Brother Jiao to tell Chu first why Brother Guan drew his sword and kill himself in front of the two armies?"

Hearing this, Jiao Wentong's heart seemed to be pierced by a knife, and his whole body trembled.

"I forced him to death. Is that enough?" He said in a low voice. Tang Ang clenched his fists on the side.

Xiao Linglong suddenly became nervous, "Tianya, stop talking... Let's go first!"

"If you can't say it, why don't you say it?" Chu Tianya smiled and said, "That's right - Brother Guan was forced to die by Brother Jiao!"

"I'll kill you!!" Tang Ang jumped up and punched Chu Tianya.

Xiao Linglong hurriedly lowered her body. A sweeping leg kicked Tang Ang's but wanted to put him down, but she found that he was very stable. After eating this foot, he just paused for a moment and didn't move much at all!

"Princess Xiao, you don't have to interfere." Chu Tianya shouted, "If he wants to kill, let him kill him. There is no division between enmity and hatred, which makes him self-declaimed hero. Brother Guan will be ashamed if he knows it!"

Jiao Wentong snorted, "Tang Ang, you don't have to do it - quit a hundred steps away!"

"Oh!!!" Tang Ang waved his fists and sighed heavily, and walked away with hatred.

"If there are any other words, put them out together!" Jiao Wentong said lightly.

Chu Tianya squatted down beside Jiao Wentong, slowly threw the money paper into the brazier, and said, "Brother Guan wants to prove two things with his own death. First, the government cannot be trusted; second, your brotherhood is deeply affectionate and unparalleled righteousness. Is what Chu said right?

"Let's be right."

"As soon as Brother Guan died, Qixingzhai and the court were completely broken, and there was no possibility of security." Chu Tianya said, "Previously, it was Brother Guan who strongly led the recruitment. He proved that this road was wrong with his own death. At the same time, it also pointed out a clear road for Qixingzhai, which is to unite all the rebels in Hedong and fight against the gold to save the country.

Jiao Wentong didn't say anything and sneered.

Chu Tianya was not in a hurry and continued to say, "The death of Brother Guan is not so much from righteousness, generosity, and injustice in the government, but more from the division and estrangement of Qixingzhai. The second brother knows the situation in Qixingzhai better than me. You are unparalleled and fierce generals, and your soldiers and horses are as strong as a rainbow. In this troubled world, you can achieve a career when you use martial arts. In the end, it can't stop the power of the imperial edict. In the final analysis, isn't it because you are separated, and you have never unified your thoughts and lack real faith? - To put it more clearly, one mountain does not allow two tigers. Brother Guan and Brother Jiao Erge, who is the real leader of Qixingzhai? Maybe you yourselves are not so clear and understand!"

Jiao Wentong continued to be silent.

Chu Tianya said again, "So Brother Guan committed suicide, and the intention is actually quite deep. In that situation at that time, he didn't want you to think of him and fall into the hands of Yao Gu and the breeder. At the same time, he could not go back on his head. Since he accepted Zhao'an, he would not escape again. Brother Guan has always had his own principles. At the same time, the situation of one mountain and two tigers in Qixingzhai finally no longer exists. He hoped that Jiao Erge could lead the brothers of Qixingzhai on a clear road instead of wandering around because he was worried about brotherly feelings. At the same time, it can also be seen that Brother Guan really has a deep affection for you and everyone in Qixingzhai. He would rather die than follow in his footsteps! - I remember Princess Xiao once said that Brother Guan is such a person. He is blessed and difficult. Now, Mr. Chu has seen it with his own eyes. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to see you again.

"Have you said enough?" Although Jiao Wentong's voice was light, there was obviously a trace of murder.

"There is one last sentence." Chu Tianya smiled slightly and said, "The brothers elected me as the leader of Xishan. I dare not specialize myself. I still need Brother Jiao to nod in this matter."

"You are too up to Jiao." Jiao Wentong said indifferently, "But it's good that you didn't say anything. You have to give up the position of the big leader to Jiao."

"That kind of hypocrisy can't be done yet. In addition, I don't tell lies in front of the real person. I want to hide it, and I can't hide anything from Jiao Erge. Chu Tianya smiled and said, "At present, 100,000 people have gathered in Qingyunbao, with a total of more than 80,000 strong soldiers. The strong soldiers and the strong Ma Zhuang's family business is booming, but it is also the time to hire people. Among the hundred thousand people, in addition to the men and horses previously recruited by Meng De and Ma Yan and the brothers of Qixingzhai, there are also 30,000 to 40,000 victorious troops, Taiyuan Xiangjun and the people brought from Taiyuan by Wang Xun. Among them, the people and horses in Qixingzhai are the mainstay. Without your support and approval, if Chu wants to be this big leader, his name will not be right, and the people of Qixingzhai will also be confused. Having said so much, I actually just want to remind Brother Jiao of one thing. Now you can't just think about yourself. You are still carrying the fate of Brother Guan and the hope of all the people in Qixingzhai. You still have a heavy responsibility. A man should be affectionate and righteous, with love, hate, flesh and blood, which is admirable. But if you blindly indulge in personal emotions and abandon everything, it will be too selfish and narrow-minded - that's all I said. Brother Jiao, please think about it by yourself.

After saying that, Chu Tianya stood up and was ready to leave.

Jiao Wentong twisted his thick eyebrows, pinched a few pages of paper money in his hand, and his fist and skull sounded.

"You stop!"

"What does the second brother have to say?"

"You said you will become the Lord of Xishan, but you want Jiao to come out of the mountain under you." Jiao Wentong said bluntly, "Jiao has only served two and a half people in his life. One is Jiao's deceased father, the other is the eldest brother, and that half is my teacher Chen | Xizhen! - How can you make Jiao bow down to you? "

Chu Tianya couldn't help but be overjoyed: Well, Jiao Wentong is finally willing to speak his mind to his face! Fortunately, he is finally an upright person!

Jiao Wentong also stood up. He was half a head taller than Chu Tianya. His beautiful hair fluttering eyes slanted, and he was condescending to Chu Tianya.

Chu Tianya looked at him with his eyes and said with a smile, "Just because Chu can lead the Hedong Rebel Army to a correct way to live and achieve a career. And you Jiao Wentong, you can't."

The expression on Jiao Wentong's face was instantly fixed.

"If there is nothing else, Chu will leave first." Chu Tianya hugged his fist and said, "In the Dragon Boat Festival, in Qingyun Hall - the leaders push the lord of the West Mountain and arrange seats for the duties!"

Jiao Wentong narrowed his eyes and stroked his long head, quietly watching Chu Tianya leave step by step.

Xiao Linglong and Tang Ang came forward. Both of them were arrogant and did not dare to come out. They stood beside Jiao Wentong.

"Little sister, do you believe him?" Jiao Wentong suddenly asked.

Xiao Linglong couldn't help trembling gently and didn't react for a moment.

"Looking at you so hesitant, you obviously don't believe it." A sneer appeared on Jiao Wentong's face.

Xiao Linglong took a deep breath, "I believe it!"

Jiao Wentong smiled and didn't say anything. He still knelt in front of Guanshan's tomb and worshiped burning paper.

"You two, let him go!"
