Gongsun Yao hesitated for a moment, then finally stood up, pointed to the tiger skin chair on it and said, "Your Highness, please take a seat." ”

Yang Yi glanced at the somewhat infiltrating chair, waved his hand and smiled: "Forget it, I don't have that kind of pride, let's move a square table." ”

With a wave of his hand, Gongsun Yao ordered someone to bring in a pair of tables and chairs, and also took a lot of wine and meat, and dozens of hundreds of people stood around Yang Yi and the others like this, looking at Yang Yi directly.

This time, Yang Yi was not polite and sat on the top seat, it is estimated that no one dares to sit in that position if he does not sit.

Heizi was holding a jar of wine, standing behind Yang Yi, his face twitching, wanting to talk to Yang Yi but a little scared. Where would he have thought that Brother Jia Baoyu, who was still telling stories to him in the afternoon, would even worship the big boss of his own family at this time.

Yang Yi looked up at the sunspot and smiled, "What are you doing?" Am I a monster? ”

"No, no, Mr. A... Uh, no, no... His Royal Highness—" Kuroko panicked.

Yang Yi shook his head helplessly, the biggest feature of class society is naturally the obvious class division, even if he is a best friend one moment, he can clearly distinguish the difference between master and servant the next moment, which has nothing to do with personal wishes and personal character.

Chu Dongsheng is like this, and so is Heizi, one is a literati who reads poetry and books, and the other is a mountain bandit who can't read big characters. They all drew a line with Yang Yi. This is a kind of inertial thinking that comes from the subconscious, from the thousands of years of class atmosphere of the Han people, and it is not something that Yang Yi, a stupid prince who wants to be approachable, can change.

"Your Highness, what should you do with this person?" Gongsun Yao pointed to the second master tied to the side, and the expression in his eyes was a little complicated.

It stands to reason that such a person can't stay, but Yang Yi saw that Gongsun Yao didn't want to kill him, this was a family matter in Cangyun Village, and Yang Yi didn't want to take the lead, so he said with a smile: "Hold it for now, it's up to you to decide how to deal with the big boss if you think clearly." ”

Gongsun Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she was also worried that Yang Yi would order the second master to be killed, so she nodded and said, "Put him in the dungeon, everyone should quit, no one is allowed to come in without my permission." ”

The mountain bandits were ordered to retreat one after another. Xiao Liang and Guo Mu looked at Yang Yi with some concern, they felt that this group of people was a mountain bandit after all, and they were not at ease to leave Yang Yi alone in this group of heroes.

Seeing this, Yang Yi said: "The two of you have also suffered these days, so go rest and recuperate your body." ”

When Xiao Liang heard this, he stopped talking: "Your Highness... The owner's command..."

Of course, Yang Yi knew that he wanted to talk about rescuing Blossom Valley, so he waved his hand irritably: "Let me think about this matter, you guys go down first." ”

Xiao Liang still wanted to speak again, Guo Mu next to him pulled his arm and shook his head, Xiao Liang had to sigh softly and followed Guo Mu out of the door, he also knew that Yang Yi could not be forced in this matter.

Yang Yi took a sip of the wine on the table, and Gongsun Yao saw that his face was not good-looking, and asked, "Your Highness, what is there to worry about?" ”

Yang Yi pursed his lips, glanced at Gongsun Yao and said: "Then, let me give you an analogy, I am now a sheep, being dragged into the wolf pit by the neck, and I am asked to save another large group of sheep, if it is you, what should you do?" ”

"Save." Gongsun Yao did not hesitate.

Yang Yi smiled, it didn't seem too unexpected, Gongsun Yao had presided over Cangyun Village for many years, and he didn't abandon those old and weak women and children at the most difficult moment, this kind of person Yang Yi didn't expect her to say anything cruel in her mouth.

"Forget it, the big boss retreats left and right, and he must have something to say to me." Yang Yidao.

Gongsun Yao nodded: "Well, it's about Congzhou Ge Jin." ”

Gongsun Yao felt that since he was sure to surrender to Yang Yi, he must also explain the current situation to him.

Yang Yi put down the wine bowl in his hand and motioned for Gongsun Yao to continue.

"About April ago, a team of officers and soldiers came from outside the cottage, and at that time I thought that our Cangyun Village was discovered, so I sent people to exterminate us. But the number of officers and soldiers who came was not very large, and they sent a messenger to see me, and the person who came was the one whom His Highness knew. ”

"Dongsheng?"

Gongsun Yao naturally didn't know the man's name, and continued: "He rode into the cottage alone, and told us that he was a soothing envoy sent by Ge Jin, the assassin of Congzhou, and hoped that our Cangyun Village would surrender to his command. I was still a little excited at the time, after all, there is no way out for me to be a stateless mountain bandit, and it is naturally a good thing to let thousands of people in Cangyun Village recover their bodies and no longer hide. ”

"But when I saw the man's recruitment, I was puzzled, because Yuanliang... As you know, Mr. Bai once told me that it is a very cumbersome matter for the imperial court to recruit security, which not only requires the recruitment of the local government, but also the engraving of the central council of the imperial court, the military department, the household department and other yamen, so that we can restore the civil registration and get the land and residence we deserve.

But... The Zhao'an certificate that the man took out was only the seal of the Congzhou Thorn Mansion. At that time, I was suspicious and wanted to ask, but the man said that we only need to accept Zhao'an, and then everyone is not allowed to go out in the village, and Cangyun Village will be taken over by the Congzhou army one after another. ”

"What does it mean to take over one after another?" Yang Yi said suspiciously.

"Their people will come to Cangyun Village one after another in half a year."

Yang Yi suddenly understood that the Congzhou army did not enter Cangyun Village openly, but sneaked in in batches. said with a smile: "I said that even if Ge Jin wants to rebel, it is impossible for him to take a fancy to your Cangyun Village's manpower, it turns out that he has taken a fancy to the location of your Cangyun Village and used it as a garrison." ”

Although there are only more than 3,000 people in Cangyun Village, it can be used as a garrison to garrison an army of 10,000 or 20,000, and the geographical location is close to Jingzhao Mansion, and the fast horse can arrive in the capital in only two days.

But there is one factor that is difficult to control here, and that is the problem of blocking messages. This is also the reason why Ge Jin must persuade Cangyun Village to surrender, if the attack is too big, and it is difficult to ensure that Cangyun Village does not get rid of one or two people, once the news spreads, it will be a failure.

Gongsun Yao sighed: "I guessed Ge Jin's intentions, knowing that this matter was a major crime to exterminate the nine clans, I kept prevaricating it, but who would have expected them to attack my second master..."

This kind of thing is very tempting, and anyone will have the bottom line of interests in their hearts, Yang Yi knows with his feet what Chu Dongsheng promised to the second master, which is nothing more than adding an official to the knighthood after the matter is completed.

Regardless of whether these two masters were attacked by interests or simply wanted to prove themselves, in the final analysis, he still did not withstand the temptation, so he designed to imprison Gongsun Yao. This ploy was probably from Chu Dongsheng's hand, but what he didn't expect was that Gongsun Yao's prestige was far beyond the second master's family, so much so that after trapping Gongsun Yao, the second master had proposed to accept Ge Jin's recruitment several times, and most of the people in the cottage were opposed, and they all asked to wait for Gongsun Yao to return to the mountain before making a decision.

"Your Highness, do you know the person who is the assassin of Congzhou? How can you be so bold? Gongsun Yao wondered.
