Chapter 164 Starting Price

Chu Tianya invited Zhang Xiaochun and his entourage officials into Qingyun Fort, came a simple "sightseeing" in the castle, and then arrived at Qingyun Hall.

At this time, the accompanying officials calmed down and knew that they would not be "cooked and eaten" by this group of mountain thieves.

At this time, all the leaders of the Xishan Mountain had gathered on the Qingyun Hall, with a total of more than 100 people, waiting neatly in the hall. As soon as Chu Tianya and Zhang Xiaochun stepped into the hall, they heard the sound of hugging their fists.

"The owner of the village!!" Everyone worshipped together.

It shocked Zhang Xiaochun and others.

"Zhang Zhifu and you don't have to be nervous." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that I'm gathering leaders to discuss the events of the Dragon Boat Festival. It's not a Hongmen banquet for you.

Zhang Xiaochun relaxed and said with a smile, "You are not a bully, I'm not Pei Gong. Why do you come to the banquet of Hongmen? - I just don't know what big things Guizhai is preparing for?"

Chu Tianya smiled and said, "It's okay to tell Zhang Zhifu. During the Dragon Boat Festival, we will select the leader.

Zhang Xiaochun and the officials suddenly showed a stunned expression on their faces, and they said in the same mind: Aren't you already the great leader? Even the emperor, who is thousands of miles away, knows what else do you choose?

After all, Zhang Xiaochun is a person who has seen the world. He will not ask some silly questions that touch other people's family affairs and privacy. He just smiled and said, "That subordinate is really a coincidence. Today, I prepared a small gift, which should be a gift to congratulate the leader of Xishan in advance!"

"Good to say, thank you very much." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Gentlemen, please join us!"

A banquet has been prepared in the hall. Zhang Xiaochun and the officials entered the table in turn, and the wine and meat were presented one after another.

Chu Tianya has already sat in the main seat in the middle, and there is a wall hanging behind him covered with red silk, which is particularly eye-catching. Zhang Xiaochun muttered for a while after seeing it. He guessed in his heart, so he picked up the wine and walked to Chu Tianya, "Ziyuan, I respect you."

"The magistrate is too kind." Chu Tianya picked up the wine and got up to return the salute.

Until now, Zhang Xiaochun has not indicated his intention, and Chu Tianya has not asked, all because he came to make a private visit as an old friend. However, Zhang Xiaochun accompanied many other government and county officials, and Chu Tianya also called all the leaders of the whole village. Obviously, this is not the battle and scale that friends and private associations should have.

Both of them are actually tacit.

However, although the Qingyun Hall is calm now, Zhang Xiaochun vaguely feels that many of the leaders here have been staring at them with hostility. He knew it was time to make it clear. Chu Tianya deliberately gathered all the leaders to gather together. The out-of-line sound is to make his intention public, and he doesn't want to have any private consultations with him.

"In fact, there are two intentions for the official's visit to Xishan today. In order to visit old friends, we can talk about the past. Zhang Xiaochun's voice was not loud, but as soon as he finished saying this half of the sentence, the whole audience suddenly became strangely quiet and looked at him with one or two hundred pairs of eyes.

Zhang Xiaochun's nerves tightened involuntarily, and when it came to his mouth, he swallowed it back.

Chu Tianya waved his hand and smiled slightly, "Zhang Zhifu, you and I are friends of death and adversity. If you have anything to say, please say it directly. All the people present are my brothers, not outsiders.

"Hmm." Zhang Xiaochun nodded, took a deep breath, put down the wine bowl and straightened his waist pole and said, "Second, it's also for business."

The sound of putting down the wine bowl sounded one after another. Everyone gave up the wine and meat and stared at Zhang Xiaochun attentively.

Chu Tianya nodded with a smile, "What kind of business is it?"

"To tell the truth from Ziyuan, the subordinate has been pardoned by the court, and the official has been restored to his position, and still serves as the governor of Taiyuan." Zhang Xiaochun pointed to the row of seats behind him and said, "These accompanying colleagues are the prefectures of Yuci, Yangqu, Taigu and other counties. Our purpose here is to shake hands with Xishan on behalf of the government, and fight against the gold thieves and protect the people.

Most of the leaders felt very surprised. The officials of the government came up the mountain in person and took the initiative to find Xiangma for peace? After living in the green forest for half of my life, such a thing is really unheard of!

"This is a good thing. It should have been so long ago!" Chu Tianya stepped forward with a smile and said, "Zhang Zhifu and all the magistrates came up the mountain in person, which shows the sincerity of peace. In fact, a long time ago, I had always hoped that the government of Taiyuan and the Hedong Rebel Army could unite. Previously, the Battle of Taiyuan was won by the joint efforts of all members. It's just a pity that as soon as the Jin Man was driven away, the government began to kill the donkeys against the rebels. This is really chilling."

In a word, it aroused the indignation of the leaders in the hall. At that moment, someone roared, "The government has no faith and no righteousness. You can't believe it!" Master, we don't have to make peace with them! The golden man is coming, let's resist by ourselves! Whether it's the government or the army, it's all waste. It's good not to give us dark hands and stones! There is nothing to expect from these birds!"

"Yes, yes, you can't count on these birds!"

Because the death of Guanshan and the battle of Xiaocangshan took place not long ago, there were many leaders from Qixing Village in the hall, so in an instant, Qingyun Hall roared like thunder and anger.

Many officials here were frightened by the situation in front of them.

Zhang Xiaochun looked at Chu Tianya for help and smiled bitterly.

Chu Tianya smiled with a slight understanding and raised his hand, and the leaders immediately stopped roaring. Even if there is still anger, they all sit down and see what the owner has.

After everyone calmed down, Chu Tianya said, "Yes, the government has done a lot of stupid things that are sorry for us. But looking at the overall situation, women are our common enemy. If we are not united in the face of foreign enemies and get a cheap one, we will only be real women. Brothers, we can hate the government and hate the army, but we should unite our compatriots against the foreign enemy. If there is anything that the brothers can't think of, look here--"

After saying that, Chu Tianya raised his hand and pointed behind him. There were two flags hanging high, on which were written four words - "Anti-Jin and Save the Country" and "Preservation of the People".

"As long as it is good for money to save the country and protect the people, we can do it." Chu Tianya said, "In contrast, if someone obstructs us from doing this, no matter who he is, even if he is the king of heaven, he is also our enemy. The heroes in the West Mountain will definitely frustrate their bones and raise their ashes!"

"Okay!" The leaders cheered loudly!

Zhang Xiaochun and the officials twitched!

These mountain thieves are really bold. They actually arrange all the "King of Heaven" in! ...Isn't the underground "Ton of Heaven" a piece of cake? This is really a blatant and ignorant of the imperial court!

Seeing that Zhang Xiaochun was a little stunned, Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Zhang Zhifu, I think you should be able to pay attention to our attitude in Xishan. Reconciliation with the government is conducive to resisting money to save the country and protect the people. This is a good thing, and we will definitely agree. However, please don't think that you can control and blackmail us with this, in an attempt to use and subvert our Xishan, just like Xu Han's previous deal with Qixingzhai. This is impossible."

Zhang Xiaochun's face changed, and he smiled bitterly at the moment, "Why did Ziyuan say this? Does the lower official look like that?"

"Ha ha, it's not that I can't trust Zhang Zhifu, but that I can't trust the court." Chu Tianya smiled, but his eyes were like a cold star. "You and I are friends of life and death. In terms of personal feelings, of course I can trust you as a friend. But now that you and I are discussing business, Chu has to stand in the position of their respective camps and think more about it. If it's not a matter or a person, please forgive me.

"Well, that's good." Zhang Xiaochun nodded with a calm smile, "Then we should open the skylight and speak frankly. Xu Han has taken down, and most of the royal masters have returned to Tokyo. The emperor personally asked the lower official to restore the official to the political affairs of the Hedong Army, and ordered Yao Gu, the general of the Western Army, to be the deputy assistant to the subordinate.

"Congratulations." Chu Tianya smiled indifferently and held his fist. Just take it as a congratulations between friends.

Zhang Xiaochun, of course, has the following. He returned a salute and continued: "The officials order to make peace with Xishan, and unite the righteous men in Xishan from now on to defend Hedong and protect Taiyuan together."

As soon as Zhang Xiaochun's words fell, someone took a picture and shouted, "It's ridiculous! Just now, he stabbed us insidiously, and immediately came to pull us in again with a playful smile! What kind of bird official is this? He is so dishonest and shameless! Let's ignore him!"

That's right! The move is ready to come and go. If you want to fight, you can fight. If you want, you can make peace. Are we the most worthless bitch in the kiln?

"If you don't give an explanation today, the ghost will make peace with you!"

That's right! Why do you fight if you want? If you want to fight, you can fight if you want! With that bird official's words, our 100,000 brothers will fight for him? Bah!"

......

What a stormy scolding.

The man present, which one is not the one who licks blood with a knife head and is fierce. They are used to killing people, set fire, and robing their homes, and their heads are like living on their waists. I don't take life and death seriously at all, so don't mention any taboos. I didn't scold the officials and the court several times a day, as if the day was incomplete.

Zhang Xiaochun and these Confucian students and officials listened, but they were shocked - they were too bold to scold the official family like a grandson! What else is there that this group of people dare not do?!

Chu Tianya was a little happy. He hugged Zhang Xiaochun and said, "Please forgive me, Zhang Zhifu. My brothers don't read poems and books, don't sit in meditation, don't know the emperor and don't worship officials. To put it bluntly, we are mountain thieves and bandits, so it's common for us to swear without hindrance.

"If you don't read poems and books, you don't sit in meditation, if you don't know the emperor, you don't worship the official..." Zhang Xiaochun shook his head with a wry smile, "That's all, the lower official understands."

Chu Tianya smiled and whispered, "Since you understand, take out the benefits in your arms quickly. Otherwise, the brothers will continue to scold.

"Okay..." Zhang Xiaochun shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. He took out an imperial edict from his arms and held it high with his hands.

"The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit... The mountain thieves will not pay attention to the bad things." Chu Tianya stepped forward with a big smile, "Let's see what benefits the court of the Song Dynasty gave us these mountain thieves!"

"Your Majesty, please wait! This is the imperial edict. Kneel down and welcome it!" An official in the lower seat shouted almost reflexively.

"Fuck your mother's fart!" A leader patted the table and shouted, "I didn't hear what my owner said just now? ...Don't read...what? No, the emperor?"

"As for your pig-dog-like learning, you also came out to show off--" Immediately someone laughed loudly, "The village owner said that if you don't read poetry and books, you don't sit in meditation, you don't know the emperor and don't worship officials!"

"Haha, yes, yes!" Instead of being angry, the scolded leader patted the table and laughed, "Do you hear me, bird official! Our village owner doesn't kneel down to the imperial edict. What do you think?

Zhang Xiaochun and the officials were embarrassed, but they couldn't use any official prestige under the eaves, so they had to smile bitterly and dare not talk nonsense.

Chu Tianya stepped forward a few steps and grabbed the imperial edict with Zhang Xiaochun's hands raised above his head. Take a look and laugh on the spot.

"Master, what good things did the court give us? Are you so happy?" The leaders asked curiously.

"The official is really generous. He decreed me to be 'the leader of the Hedong Volunteer Army'!" Chu Tianya laughed.

"Bah, do you still want him to seal it?" Everyone couldn't help clapping the table and shouting, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes!" Chu Tianya smiled and said, "I also gave him a title, which is called 'Qingyunshuai'!"

"What else?"

"It's gone!" Chu Tianya spread his hands, and the expression on his face was strange and joking.

"Is this gone?"

"It's really gone." Chu Tianya curled his lips.

There was a burst of scolding, and it sounded again.

"Bastard!"

"This is an empty-gloved white wolf! Give a nickname that is not worth it, and let us 100,000 people work for him?!"

"What kind of thing! This bird official family and the bird court are born to be bastards!"

"Zhaizhu, let's not make peace! You gave your little brother a horse, and at least took him from Taiyuan! Let's respect you as the king and fight with his Tokyo bird official!"

"That's right, I'm afraid of his bird! Such a waste can also be an official and a minister. How can't our village owner be the son of heaven, and our brother can also be a general!!"

......

Zhang Xiaochun's expression has been petrified, and his face is white.

Chu Tianya made a helpless expression and whispered, "Zhang Zhifu, Chu is also helpless. It's strange that Xu Han did something too badly before, which was too unpopular. Now to save this situation, I'm afraid the court really needs to regain a little capital!"

Zhang Xiaochun sighed softly, "Are you threatening the court and starting the price? Is this what you mean by resisting the gold to save the country and protect the people?

"It's not that Chu is not patriotic or that our brothers are too snobbish, but that you are ruthless and dishonest. Since we can't talk about feelings, we have to talk about interests. Chu Tianya gently picked up the corners of his mouth, revealing a sneer that did not hide his arrogance and deceit, "You get what you pay for. If you want the horse to run and the horse doesn't eat grass, such a cheap thing can't happen in Xishan. Zhang Zhifu, you are a smart person. You must know what to do!"

Speaking of which, Zhang Xiaochun can only admit it. He took a breath and nodded, "Well, go and discuss with the court..."
