A group of people walked out of Tianlong Cottage, led by two old men, although these two old men looked about sixty years old, but they were extremely tall and burly, and they walked with a tiger, not at all like people of this age, both of them were wearing coarse cloth clothes, and their feet were animal skin boots, which were very simple and shabby.

Almost all of the people who followed the two were dressed like this, but one of them was dressed differently.

It was a young man, standing beside two old men, seventeen or eighteen years of age, with a rather dark face, and the same tall and burly man, but wearing a white Confucian shirt and a scribe's hat on his head, which looked somewhat out of place with his own stout image.

The two old men saw Zhang Cang at a glance, and their faces suddenly changed, and their expressions were a little embarrassed, obviously they recognized the head of the Zhang family.

However, the young man next to him had a very deep expression, which made Chen Le pay special attention.

Zhang Cang waved his hand to signal the three hundred private troops behind him to stop, and then led the others to take a few steps forward, and said loudly: "The two elders in front of you are the elders of the Shanyi tribe in person? ”

The faces of the two old men were a little ashamed, and one of them said sneeringly: "The head of the Zhang family ......" He is obviously not good at words, and he doesn't know what to say when he only shouts this sentence.

The other old man was even more so, and even opened his mouth without saying a word, but his face turned purple.

In fact, it is a well-known thing that the Shanyi people are not good at speaking, after all, they live in the mountains all the year round, have little contact with the outside world, and the language itself is lacking, and there is nothing else except hunting and simple life, so they are naturally not good at talking.

Even in the past, every time the small village grabbed the ore, he didn't negotiate directly with the Zhang family in words, but simply wrote the items he wanted to exchange on the animal skin, and then hid his face and left, obviously he was quite ashamed of this behavior in his heart.

But this time...... Everyone in the Zhang family was full of doubts.

"Is the head of the Zhang family in Daoling Mountain on the other side?" The two old men did not speak, but the majestic young man in the Confucian shirt next to him spoke.

Zhang Cang looked at the young man when he heard this, and said expressionlessly: "You are ......"

"Ah, this is the young leader of my tribe." An old man finally spoke.

"Yes, this is the son of the great leader of my clan, Han Baohu." Another old man also hurriedly said.

The leader of the Shanyi people is called Han Meng, he only had one son in his life, named Han Baohu, perhaps for some special considerations, when Han Baohu was twelve years old, he was sent to study in the academy outside the mountain, this matter is known to many Shanyi people, but no one except the Shanyi people knows.

When Zhang Cang heard this, his thoughts in his mind were running instantly, and he knew that this matter was not necessarily instructed by these two elders, and a big reason for it should be the young leader.

Zhang Cang looked at Han Baohu, although Han Baohu was not very old, but the Shanyi people had always been brave, and they were not afraid of Zhang Cang's eyes, and glared at him directly.

Zhang Cang said slowly: "Leader Han Shao, you are doing this, does Leader Han know?" ”

Han Baohu's face couldn't help but change when he heard this, and he snorted coldly and said, "It doesn't matter if my father knows whether you know or not, it's unreasonable for you to mine on this Daoling Mountain!" ”

"Unreasonable?" Zhang Cang was stunned when he heard this, there was no such thing as Shanyi people robbing ore before, they just wanted to change something, where was there anything unreasonable.

"Young Leader Han, tell me how unreasonable it is!"

Han Baohu snorted: "Daoling Mountain has been the place of our Shanyi people since ancient times, and those mines and veins are next to our stockade, so naturally they are all our things, why did your Zhang family come to dig ore and sell it for money?" ”

The corners of Zhang Cang's mouth moved when he heard this, thinking what kind of truth is this, seeing that Han Baohu was wearing a Confucian shirt, he thought he was a scholar, but he didn't expect that a mouth turned out to be crooked.

He shook his head and just wanted to speak, but saw Chen Le step forward, glanced at Zhang Cang, and then said, "Leader Han Shao, take the liberty of asking, are you a scholar?" ”

Han Baohu had already seen Chen Le, because Chen Le was also dressed in a Confucian shirt, and Zhang Bangchang next to him was the same, at this moment, when he heard Chen Le's question, his eyes suddenly lit up and said: "Of course, I am a student of Linlang Academy, one of the four major academies in the mainland!" ”

An elder next to him also said with a smug face: "The young leader is the most learned person in our Daoling Mountain for so many years!" ”

Chen Le looked at Han Baohu with a smug look, and couldn't help laughing: "It's really disrespectful, the leader of Han Shao turned out to be a student of Linlang Academy, and his knowledge must be profound." ”

"That's nature!" Han Baohu couldn't help but puff up his chest when he heard this: "My father is eloquent and strategic, and he knows that it is not a way for our Shanyi clan to be trapped in the mountain for many years, and he also knows that it is difficult to stand outside the mountain without knowledge, so he tried his best to send me to Linlang Academy to study." ”

Chen Le nodded solemnly: "The big leader is really far-sighted, he looks at things with foresight, admires and admires, but young leader, how are you reading in Linlang Academy?" ”

"Ah, this ......" Han Baohu was still complacent when he heard the first half of Chen Le's sentence, but when he heard the last sentence, his face couldn't help but change, and he sneered a few times: "Of course it reads very well!" ”

"Hehe, is it a good read?" Chen Le smiled slightly: "Young leader, I am also a scholar, so I know a sentence, I believe you must know this sentence." ”

"What?" When Han Baohu heard this, a worried expression suddenly appeared on his face.

Chen Le looked at him and said slowly: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, I believe the young leader must know this sentence, right?" ”

"Huh? Well, I know, of course I know, how could I not know such a famous sentence! Han Baohu's black face was a little red, and he hurriedly shouted.

"Oh...... It turns out that the young leader knows this! Chen Le's voice was very long, he squinted and smiled: "Then the meaning of this sentence must be known by the young leader, if you go far, you will say that this Daoling Mountain belongs to the Great Xu Dynasty, and if you are closer, you will say that this mountain belongs to the Qi Kingdom, when did it become the Shanyi tribe?" Young leader, young leader, you have to be cautious, what you said just now is tantamount to rebellion, although this sword makes the mountain very big, but if the court makes up its mind, although it can't completely get rid of the Shanyi people, but the corpse mountain and the sea of blood are still unavoidable! ”

"I, I, I don't believe the imperial court would do this......" Han Baohu's face suddenly changed greatly, but he said stiffly.

"Since you are a scholar, you will know that the Zhang family's mining is to pay taxes to the imperial court, if the mines are robbed by you, and the imperial court cannot collect taxes, what will be the consequences? Young Chief, you should understand. Chen Le still said with a smile.
