Chapter 182 Love House and Black

The next day, Chu Tianya gathered everyone in Qingyun Hall to discuss the "voy to Xixia".

Not everyone understands the true meaning of the envoy to Xixia at this time, and the secrets cannot be announced in advance. Therefore, most people feel very confused about the matter raised by the lord. They just instinctively feel that Xixia is an enemy. Is it too risky to let such an important leader as Meng De negotiate? What's more, it was Meng De himself who had a grudge against Xixia before. Now, Xixia is still offering a reward for Meng De's first level, which is worth 500 taels of gold!

Among the four major military aircraft leaders, Bai Shu is currently present in Qixingzhai, and only Chu Tianya, Meng De and Jiao Wentong are present. In advance, Chu Tianya did not communicate with Jiao Wentong. He just wanted to see what kind of attitude Jiao Wentong would have towards him after many days, especially the strength comparison and status gap between him and Jiao Wentong.

Since the morning discussion, Jiao Wentong has been silent, allowing everyone to make endless remarks, like an old monk.

Chu Tianya is not in a hurry. He is giving Jiao Wentong enough time to think. If Jiao Wentong can figure out the stakes and real significance of the matter of envoy Xixia, it will be a great blessing, which proves that Jiao Wentong's mind is still on the standpoint of the public. On the contrary, it will make Chu Tianya feel disappointed; thus, Jiao Wentong's future position in Xishan will become more and more insecure.

For Jiao Wentong, Chu Tianya has already thought about it clearly. It is true that he is a rare talent, but he is also a remanent wild horse. In the past, the reason why he was served like an ancestor was mainly to take care of the emotions of the original team of Qixingzhai, out of the sake of the overall stability. Now the balance of victory has completely inclined to Chu Tianya. If you blindly tolerate and appease him again, it is actually unfair and irresponsible to more people.

When Zhang butcher dies, he doesn't eat hairy pigs. In fact, the most indispensable thing in the world is talent.

Everyone shouted for a while, and few words really got to the point. After a while, Chu Tianya took the initiative to ask, and said to Jiao Wen Channel, "Brother Jiao, what do you think about this matter?"

Jiao Wentong woke up slightly, bowed to Chu Tianya with his fist, and said, "Since the lord has made a decision, Meng Qige also invited him to go, and Jiao has no opinion. However, this trip is somewhat dangerous, and Meng Qige should be careful.

"Uh-huh..." Chu Tianya answered with a smile, and his heart was suddenly a little depressed - Jiao Wentong, which adopted a method of "non-violent non-cooperation" to express his dissatisfaction.

"In this case, Lord--" Meng De shouted loudly and stood up to hug his fist. "Then my subordinates will leave as soon as possible!"

"Good." Chu Tianya didn't say anything more. He nodded, "Tseventh brother, be more careful! I will let Ma Yan and Liang Xing lead the troops to train in the Yellow River, and let the Xixia people look at our military prestige across the shore to help the momentum and echo each other from afar!"

"Thank you, Lord!"

This matter has been finalized. Many people are still in the fog and can't figure out the meaning of Meng De's trip. At most, they knew that Chu Tianya did this to find Xiao Linglong. Although Xiao Linglong is also one of the twelve leaders of the cottage, in the opinion of some people, Chu Tianya's move is more or less "power for personal gain". Although no one openly expressed this dissatisfaction, it was a vague statement.

Of course, Chu Tianya knows what these people under him are thinking. The more unfavorable remarks spread among his subordinates, the deeper his dissatisfaction with Jiao Wentong.

Because of this effect, it may be exactly what Jiao Wentong wanted.

With the passage of time, Chu Tianya felt that there was still a looming gap between himself and Jiao Wentong.

After some preparation, Meng De's itinerary is scheduled for tomorrow. That night, Chu Tianya held a banquet for Meng De, and the leaders of all sizes also arrived. Naturally, Jiao Wentong was also an example.

After three rounds of wine, Chu Tianya got up and went to the hut, but Jiao Wentong followed. When he got to a secluded place, Chu Tianya stood and waited for him.

"Lord." Jiao Wentong took the initiative to move forward and bowed with his fists.

Chu Tianya smiled and said, "What's wrong with you, second brother?"

"Yes." Jiao Wentong's big black face was expressionless, and he clenched his fist and said, "I have a ruthless invitation."

"Please speak."

"Please let your subordinates replace Meng De and make an envoy to Xixia!" Jiao Wentong said.

Chu Tianya was stunned, "Why?"

"There are three reasons." Jiao Wentong did not drag his way and said bluntly, "First, it was Meng De himself who feuded with Xixia that day. The Xixia people are offering a heavy reward for his head. At this time, isn't it the sheep entering the tiger's mouth to let him serve as the messenger? Although in this situation, our alliance with Xixia is easy to succeed, people often make mistakes because of a momentary impulse, thus changing the overall situation. In case someone is unfavorable to Meng De because of personal hatred, it will be very dangerous and may lead to a total loss.

Chu Tianya thought about his words carefully and nodded gently, "It makes sense. Go on."

"Second, the lord wants to get well with Xixia. An important purpose is to find the flying fox, right?" Jiao Wentong asked.

Chu Tianya nodded.

Jiao Wentong continued: "My subordinates and Flying Fox are like father and daughter like brothers and sisters. If there are still people in the world who can persuade Feihuer to change his mind, except for the master, he must be a subordinate. If Feihuer is still stuck in Xixia, it would be more appropriate for her subordinates to persuade her back. What does the lord think?

"Not bad." Chu Tianya nodded and agreed, "What about the third point?"

At this time, Jiao Wentong smiled slightly and hugged his fist and said, "One more, I used to have a little reputation in the area of Hedong, and I have met a few good men on the green forest road in Xixia, and I am no stranger to them. It will be easier for you to negotiate with your subordinates than Meng De. In particular, my subordinates are quite familiar with the tea sters and salt sters walking between Hedong and Xixia. Many of them have vowed to respect me and hang out on the green forest road in the east of the river under my banner. My subordinates are thinking that if the master can successfully get married in Xixia, we can take advantage of the situation to attract this group of people. Coupled with the relationship between the lord and the government, our Xishan University can fully control the business travel market between Hedong and Xixia, including those who smuggled goods. This rolling wealth will be inexhaustible. From now on, we don't have to look forward to the court giving us money and food.

After listening to these words, although Chu Tianya's expression did not change significantly, he couldn't help but respect Wentong involuntarily!

"Brother Jiao, you are so proud of me!" Chu Tianya exclaimed sincerely.

Jiao Wen smiled, "Why did the lord say this?"

"It's amazing that you are so thoughtful. But he is so thoughtful for me, for the flying fox, and for Xishan... With a good brother like you, I am grateful and more proud!" Chu Tianya smiled and said, "But in the morning, why didn't you say these words in public?"

"I can't say it." Jiao Wentong smiled and said, "Some of these things are either related to the future development prospects of our Xishan, or the reputation of the lord and the safety of the flying fox, which is an absolute secret. Wouldn't it be bad if it was destroyed by the enemy or taken the lead by others? In addition... Jiao has lived for most of his life. He has always been sharp and never restrained, so he has suffered many disasters and lost some of the most precious things in his life. Now, Jiao Wentong has pushed Jinshan and poured the jade pillar to worship you as the lord. You are the Lord, I am a minister, and you must have the duty to be a minister. The lords Jiao just mentioned must have thought of it for a long time. How dare Jiao announce it without authorization?

Chu Tianya smiled happily and gratefully and nodded, "Thank you, second brother. I'm afraid only Feihuer and I can understand your good intentions.

"That's enough." Jiao Wentong also smiled and hugged his fist and said, "If the lord agrees, please repas Jiao to replace Meng De in Xixia! - Jiao is not talented, he will make this trip complete!"

"Good!" Chu Tianya praised, "If Brother Jiao comes out, he will definitely succeed!"

"The Lord's auspicious words, Jiao must live up to his mission!"

Later, the two returned to Qingyun Hall at the same time and announced in public that Jiao Wentong would replace Meng De and go to Xixia.

As soon as this was announced, everyone was stunned on the spot - "What's going on?"

Meng De was also a little confused and insisted on going in person. As a result, he was persuaded by Chu Tianya and Jiao Wentong for a while, and he had to agree.

At this time, Meng De vaguely felt that the relationship between Chu Tianya and Jiao Wentong had changed again, which was becoming more and more delicate.

Only Chu Tianya knows in his heart that Jiao Wentong is already at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military power; the only way for him to continue to stand and stabilize his position is to occupy the economic initiative in the future.

Jiao Wentong, he went for those tea, salt, cattle, sheep and real gold and silver!

Of course, at least at present, the interests of Chu Tianya and Jiao Wentong are unified. They all want to form an ally of Xixia, and they all want to seize the trade rights and economic interests between Hedong and Xixia.

Chu Tianya thought that people do not destroy the world for themselves. Jiao Wentong changed hands to play with the economy to stabilize his position. In fact, this is also human nature. Now the open and secret struggle between himself and Jiao Wentong is a benign competition. In the final analysis, it is all to make Xishan develop and grow.

It is lonely to have no rivals and competitors. Chu Tianya is very lucky that there is such a good opponent as Jiao Wentong in Xishan. At the same time, he is also very optimistic about the completion of Jiao Wentong's mission.

However, it is really hard to say whether Xiao Linglong can be found.

Although Chu Tianya tried his best to find her but found nothing, he always felt subconsciously that Xiao Linglong had never left. This may be a kind of self-psychological comfort... Whenever he misses Xiao Linglong, Chu Tianya can't help but think of the real girl who looks like Xiao Linglong, Wanyan Daike.

"Did I unconsciously regard her as a substitute for Flying Fox?" Chu Tianya asked himself like this, and the answer was very negative. But the ghost will think of her again, and even worry about whether she will get used to staying alone in Qixingtang and whether she will be bullied by the savage girl again.

"This may be, Aiwu and Wu!" Chu Tianya thinks so self-deprecatingly.

Jiao Wentong set off. After calculating the itinerary, the round trip will take at least a month. According to the prior arrangement, Ma Yan and Liang Xing took a team of more than 20,000 people and stationed in the area along the Yellow River across the river from Xixia to train soldiers and horses. Meng De continued to preside over all matters in Xishan. After Chu Tianya observed the training on the bank of the Yellow River, there was nothing to do but to wait for Jiao Wentong's good information.

So, he decided to go back to Qixingzhai. On the one Hand, the newly recruited Hu Benqi over there can't leave the owner for too long, and the training can't be relaxed at the critical moment; secondly, the research on firearms has been suspended, but we still have to find a way to continue to carry it; and... In Chu Tianya's heart, he is really a little worried about Wanyan Daike.

Chu Tianya knows very well that he doesn't like or even trust this strange Jvzhen woman at all. The reason why she misses her is that she looks a little similar to Xiao Linglong.

"Love Wu and Wu, that's all!"
