Chapter 172: The Great Battle of Farm Tools
Xibohou found evidence of his fornication with other princes in Fei Zhong's mansion, and originally thought that he could use this to threaten other princes, but he thought that all the records engraved on the oracle bones were records of Fei Zhong's acceptance of gifts from Xiqilu.

"These are the blood and sweat of the people of Xiqi!" Xibohou was heartbroken, Fei Zhong hadn't done a few things for him after taking the gift, and the two traitors/ministers were actually hanging!
"If you want to die, you have to do a few practical things for labor and management to die!" Xibohou searched carefully in Fei's house, but still didn't find any clues, so he had no choice but to give up.
"Fei Zhong, you rabbit cub, why did you only leave a record of your dealings with Xiqi?" Xibohou was furious, he simply took out the fire fold and set the entire study on fire, so that all this evidence would be turned into ashes!
Xibohou left the Fei family and went directly to Yuli City.
As soon as he left, the entire Fei family was on fire, and there were several chests with armored bones on the beams of the study, and they were all wiped out together!
When the neighbors found out about the fire, the entire study had burned clean, and they only saved a few bedrooms.
However, it was said that the twenty guards who were sent away by Xibohou in the Shang country, they finally arrived in the country of Cheng day and night, and the brothers discussed it or not to wait for the princes to pay attention, and first get a few farm tools from the country of Cheng!
When the guards came back from Chaoge, Xibohou gave them enough money for the journey, and it was not easy to buy a few farm tools, as long as they gave money, what could not be bought?
The guards underestimated the status of several agricultural tools in the hearts of the people, with them, the crops would be several times more harvested, how could the people not cherish them?
"No matter how much money you pay, we won't sell it!" Cheng Guo's ordinary people said in unison.
As soon as the guards discussed, since you don't sell, we'll grab it!
There were not many farm tools that the imperial court brought to Cheng Guo this time, and there was no ability to produce them in remote areas, and there were hundreds of people in one village who shared a set of farm tools. Farm tools are placed in the patriarch's house!
In a small village at the junction of the two countries, the guards decided to take action after finding out the situation: "The patriarch's house is not far from the main road, as long as we get the farm tools in hand, we will leave, return to the main road, and cross the mountain in front of us is the territory of Xiqi, naturally there will be colleagues to pick us up!"
The head of the guard began to assign tasks, and he decided to take matters into his own hands, as long as he got the farm tools, he could show his face in front of several sons, and when the time came, he would be able to soar!
The patriarch of a small village, the head of the guards did not take him seriously. He led two guards to start working while it was dark. In the wilderness, the villagers lived in only a few thatched huts, and the guards moved the fence into the courtyard.
"Wang!" a big yellow dog pounced when he heard the movement, and he saw three strangers with sharp weapons entering the courtyard, and the big yellow dog did not dare to step forward, so he confronted the guards in the courtyard!
"Squeak......
The door of the thatched house opened, and out of it came two old men who were in their old age, and the old man saw that several people who broke into the house were actually carrying sharp knives, so he took the first step and walked to the old lady and said: "A few strong men, I don't know what a few nobles do, we are both old, and the place at home is also small, if you want to stay, you might as well find another place!"
This place is the border between the two countries, the geographical location is very remote, there are no inns and restaurants and other commercial places, there are indeed no travelers to stay here. However, they all went to the homes of other villagers, and some people disturbed the two old people.
"Stay?" The head of the guard glanced at his mouth and said: "Old thing, what we want is a few sets of farm tools that Chao Ge transported, you better take them out obediently, as long as you hand them over, the uncle will not hurt you husband and wife!"
The guards didn't say much, they leaped past the two old men and rushed into the hut.
"What, you want farm tools? This is not good!" The old man was in a hurry, the villagers trusted him to keep the farm tools in their own homes, how could he let the farm tools be lost?
Xiqi attacked Cheng Guo in a big way. The sons of the two old men resolutely joined the army, but did not return after the war, and the villagers sympathized with the old patriarch's plight, helped the two old men plough the land, and put the farm tools in the patriarch's house.
This is everyone's trust in him! If the farm tools are lost in the patriarch's house, how will the old couple have the face to meet the villagers?
"This little brother, you can't touch those farm tools!" shouted the old patriarch and followed the three guards into the hut.
All the farm tools were placed in the house, and the head of the guard saw at a glance that the farm tools were very brightly polished.
"That's it!" he instructed his two companions, "Take the farming tools and leave!"
As soon as the three of them turned around, they met the old patriarch, the old patriarch came up stubbornly, he desperately went to grab the plow in the hands of the guards, and when the two sides pushed each other, the plow slice cut the patriarch's neck.
The blood remained, and the old patriarch slowly fell in a pool of blood.
Something happened! For a few farm tools, there were even deaths, and the guard turned to look at the leader, waiting for his instructions.
"What are you still doing, hurry up!" said the chief.
"You can't take the farm tools away!" the old woman looked at the clothes worn by the guards, and she suddenly understood why the patriarch was so nervous.
The guards were clearly soldiers from the neighboring country, and their enemy, their own son, may have died at the hands of the Xiqi army.
The daughter-in-law went back to her parents' house with her grandson, the two old people had nothing to worry about, there was nothing to fear, and it was not a pity to die in order to protect the farm tools!
"Old things, they're ours anymore, do you still want them?" said the head of the guard, without saying a word, pulled out his knife and slashed at the old woman.
As soon as the old man tried to pick up the cane to resist, the long knife fell on her neck, and the old man fell to the ground and died.
"Wow!"
When the yellow dog saw the death of its two owners, who usually loved him, he barked loudly, and his voice revealed misery.
Led by the yellow dog, there are several more dogs barking in the village, and the sound is getting closer and closer.
"Ah..... , exposed!" the leader shouted and was about to leave with his two companions.
The yellow dog pounced desperately, and after the leader dodged it, it stared fiercely at the back.
Eventually, several dogs converged and attacked the three guards, followed by dozens of civilians with stones, iron pots, and other objects.
"Resist...... As soon as we reach the entrance of the village, someone will answer us!" the leader of the guards fought and retreated, holding a long knife to cut off the rear for his companions.
When he opened his mouth to speak, he was distracted by two dogs bitten on the thigh, and then he was slapped by the people a few times, until a citizen slashed him twice in the stomach with a kitchen knife before he realized that he really couldn't do it.
The leader of the guards turned his voice and was about to ask his companions for help, but found that the two of them had run away with farm tools and disappeared!
The guard with the deep plough pulled his companion and left directly, this guy thought to himself: "Chief, you can go with confidence, your wife and I will raise you, since the day I saw my sister-in-law, I have decided to be your good subordinate!"
