"Whew," Xiao Ye, who was panting, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the black roof, already soaked with sweat; At the dawn of September, although the cool breeze was blowing outside the window, the bedroom with two buckets of ice water still looked damp and stuffy.

Gently lifted the thin blanket, Xiao Ye, who was shirtless, looked at the woman next to him, got off the kang silently, and stepped on the clogs to go to the next room; After roughly scrubbing his body with clean water, Xiao Ye, who was dressed in green clothes and a short fight, walked to the backyard martial arts arena.

This open space that has been sorted out by craftsmen, there are stone locks on both sides, and a few long knives are hung on a wooden frame, as long as there is time, Xiao Yezi will practice diligently in the early morning, although the family knife technique is a big road goods, but his father left him with this knife technique.

"Desolate," the sharp blade came out of the sheath, brushed and brushed, and grabbed a few knife flowers in his hand, Xiao Ye raised his foot to probe his palm, and opened the posture, but today, he looked uncertain, and his eyes were a little shaky, and his face was quite tired.

Shaking his head, Xiao Ye put away the long knife, walked to the wooden frame, and under the suspicious gaze of the guards in the distance, he snapped the knife into the sheath, put his hands behind his back, and raised his face to look at the slanting Big Dipper in the sky.

In the past few days, since he returned to Madao Stone Fort, he has hardly slept peacefully, and the nightmare he has every night has made him almost have a nervous breakdown.

In the dream, the cavalry with the yarmulme covering the ears and hats slaughtered a large group of Han people, and even selected better-looking women as military rations, and drove them into the river to drown if they couldn't finish eating.

In the staggered pictures, sometimes it is a cavalryman with a protruding head and a long braid, sometimes it is a barbarian with a big nose and white skin, wielding a sharp bow and spear and even a fire/gun, killing, burning, drowning, and burying alive the Han people in countless villages, all the means are exhausted, and the bloody cruelty is enough to make Xiao Ye's heart sway and his blood swell.

"These, are they real?" Looking at the gradually whitening sky, Xiao Ye, who rubbed his left wrist, asked himself over and over again, this terrifying dream was like a real scene, and it had tormented his brain all the time in the past few days.

The stone mill that fell from the sky had already made him no longer stunned by strange things, and no matter how numb his nerves were, he couldn't stand the thick blood that had accumulated into a lake.

Every time he thought of those pictures, Xiao Ye, who was covered in cold sweat, was indeed frightened by the fishy smell that was still in his nose, and he didn't know if his children and grandchildren were also among the piles of dead bodies.

"How can you allow foreign races to trample on it, it's really damned, damned," the indifferent face gradually became hideous, and Xiao Ye, who gritted his teeth, couldn't bear the destruction of the incense of the Ximen family in the future, let alone imagine that the family business he had worked so hard to build would fall into the hands of others in the future.

Otherwise, how could he contradict his boss, and even bravely tore his face with Zhang Zhong in the end, and finally ran to the realm of the three; As a result of the times, the Ming people under the small-scale peasant economy have a far better self-concept of family and property than their family and country.

The family country, the family country, there is a family to have a country, the Ming people who have no home are indifferent to the concept of the country, and the loyalty to the imperial court is based on the small family of the wings, as the so-called no desire is rigid, the people in the mainland who are forced to starve to death by the tax burden will not hesitate to pick up a stick and smash the head of the official.

The two black-clothed guards accompanying Baihu, although they could hear Xiao Ye muttering to himself, they really couldn't understand the meaning of the words at all, and stood there in confusion, following Baihu's gaze, looking at the white mountaintop.

"My lord, Xin Xiu is here," Seeing that Xiao Ye was silent, the guard cautiously stepped forward and whispered; Xiao Ye turned his head and saw a scribe in a wheelchair at the door of the backyard, shaking a paper fan, quietly waiting for him accompanied by two guards.

"No matter, since it's the news given by Shi Mo, it won't be wrong," his cheeks bulged, and Xiao Ye let out a long breath of turbidity, if you want to inherit the incense in the Ximen family's era, the hidden danger must be extinguished, and it must be extinguished by any means.

After secretly making up his mind, Xiao Ye felt a shock all over his body, a wave of stuffiness quietly dissipated, his chest was a lot easier, and even his muddy head was immediately sober and smart, so he walked towards Xin Rulin with a smile.

What he didn't know was that the chip under his left wrist, after being continuously high-pitched due to his mental fluctuations, stabilized down at the same time, and began to transmit subtle bioelectric currents into his body, and he could see the fusion of the residual medicinal power between the bone marrow, otherwise if he rashly used the powerful potion again, he would be lucky to die.

A powerful potion at the rank of adjutant is not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

"Haha, Brother Sanxing, you won't be here for tea this early in the morning, right," Xiao Ye, who was walking in tiger steps, seemed to have changed a little in Xin Rulin's opinion, but he couldn't tell where the change was.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Xin Rulin shook his head with a smile, "Lord Baihu, my subordinates have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and there is something to discuss with the adults, otherwise it will be difficult to do it next,"

With a flash of light in his eyes, Xiao Yele stepped forward, waved his hand to let the guards retreat, personally pushed the wheelchair, and walked along the stucco path to the stone table, "Okay, there is nothing to do today, and the official is also in doubt, so I have to ask you for advice,"

Xiao Ye pushed Xin Rulin's wheelchair many times, and Xiucai didn't feel panicked, chuckled and let him push it.

The wheelchair was pushed to the stone table, Xiao Ye found a stone bench to sit down, and a female guard brought up the food box, picked up the pickles in the plate, and after the two of them ate hot porridge and steamed buns at will, they took warm tea and talked.

"Say, Sanxing, you're not here for breakfast, my breakfast here may not even look down on my sister-in-law, it's the taste of the room," Xiao Ye asked unhurriedly after taking a sip of tea with a sour and bitter taste.

"Well, that's right, Baihu has released a small amount of refined salt in the shop, as well as that hand lamp, I think there will be new items in the future," Xin Rulin said, "The price of these items is okay, as long as the third lady gives the price,"

"But our military households, artisan households, especially those old people, are shrewd, the things in the shops are not allowed to be resold outside, they take them home and use them without ambiguity, knowing that we bought more than half cheaper, no, the two hand lamps yesterday, the three old craftsmen almost fought, and no one wants to let go,"

Five taels of silver for a hand lamp, save a little at night and only light it for half a month, just here are people robbing? Xiao Ye knocked on the stone table with a smile, it seems that the refined salt was also rushed to sell.

"The number of new goods is too small, and there are too many people to buy with money, so it is best to do it once a month, with the number of military households and artisan households, and line up before and after drawing lots, and you can only buy it after you don't buy it, until it is sold out,"

"If there is the same new product next month, you are not allowed to buy it again until the first round is completed," I have to say, although Xin Rulin's idea is straightforward, fortunately, it looks fair and practical, and the big guy understands it as soon as he hears it.

"Okay, Xiucai, you can write a notice like this. In the future, if there are similar ones, they will handle it according to this, and the hundred households will give some profits to the big guys, and if they want to take more and eat more, the official can't do anything," chatted with Xin Rulin about the shop for a while, and Xiao Ye turned to the topic.

"Oh, it's okay left and right, the three provincial brothers have read a lot, can you tell the official about the history of the barbarians and the Han people?" Pretending to ask casually, Xiao Ye picked up the teacup, but there was uneasiness in his eyes.

"Hehe, there are not many strokes of this kind of ugly thing in the official history, but fortunately, my subordinates have read some wild histories, so I have some impressions" Xin Rulin smiled disapprerovingly.

"If you want to talk about barbarian invasions, there are countless in history, barbarians don't farm, and if you want to get the wealth of the population, the only way is to loot and make it convenient,"

"The subordinates remember the most clearly, is the killing order of Emperor Ran Min, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, into the Saihu tribe of the Qian, Bai Xiongnu, Ding Ling, Tiefu, Lu Shuihu, Xianbei, Jiuda Shihu and other tribes, are all blonde and blue-eyed white-skinned barbarians, these barbarian Hu people from the wild domain still retain the primitive cannibal beast, among which the three tribes of the Xianbei tribe, the white Huns, and the Xianbei tribe are the most vicious,"

In 304 AD, Murong Xianbei plundered the Central Plains, robbed countless wealth, and also kidnapped tens of thousands of Han girls. On the way back to the teacher, they raped and adulterated along the way, and at the same time used these Han girls as military rations, slaughtered and cooked. When he walked to Yishui, Hebei, there were only 8,000 girls left to eat, Murong Xianbei couldn't eat them for a while, and he didn't want to let them go, so he drowned all the 8,000 girls, and Yishui cut off the flow for it.

As for the Karma, they can be called "cannibal demons". Historical records record that the Qiang army marched and fought without carrying grain and grass, and plundered Han women as military rations, which the Qiang people called "two-legged sheep", which means that they walked on two feet like sheep to drive sex slaves and livestock, and at night for soldiers to rape/adultery, and during the day they were slaughtered and cooked.

Under the rule of the Zhao regime established by the Qian, the Han nation, which had established the Xiongqin and Shenghan dynasties, was on the verge of extinction. By the time Ran Min destroyed Zhao, there were only about 4 million Han people left in the Central Plains (the population of the Western Jin Dynasty was 20 million), and after Ran Min liberated Yedu, the number of Han women who were captured and plundered reached 200,000.

These Han women are domestic animals raised by the Qiang people as "two-legged sheep", and they can be raped/adulterated anytime and anywhere, and they may also be slaughtered and cooked anytime and anywhere.

Later, Ran Min was defeated by Murong Xianbei, and Yecheng was occupied. These girls all fell into the hands of the cannibal demon Murong Xianbei.

Murong Xian was insulted by adultery, and used 50,000 poor girls who had just escaped from the clutches of the Qiang tribe as military rations. Ate clean in one winter. The broken bones of the 50,000 girls outside Yecheng City were piled up into a hill

The Central Plains of the Wuhu Chaos era was a hell on earth for the Han people, and a paradise for the beasts of the Hu people.

In the chaotic era of Wuhu Rebellion and the Hu people's wanton massacre of the Han people, the tide of migrating people almost swept the whole of China in order to survive.

Ran Min's father, Ran Zhan, was born in the beggar rebel army, which was famous all over the world at that time.

The Begging Rebels were a group of displaced people who were active in the north and south of the Yellow River from the end of the Western Jin Dynasty to the Dongpu Dynasty, fighting against the Hu and fighting for survival.

Ran Zhan was captured by Zhao during a battle, and died a few days after succumbing to his injuries.

Shi Le, the lord of the Zhao Kingdom, admired Ran Chen, who was the champion of the three armies, and saw that Ran Min, who was eleven or twelve years old at the time, was smart and clever, so Shi Le recognized Xiao Ran Min as his grandson, renamed him Shi Min, and brought him up single-handedly.

As an adult, Ran Min was brave and good at fighting, and repeatedly made meritorious achievements in the battles between Zhao and Xianbei, and gradually became a senior general of the Zhao Empire.

In the first month of 350 AD, Shi Min announced that he would revert to his surname Ran Min, kill Shi Jian, the emperor of Zhao Zhao, and at the same time kill 38 grandsons of Shi Hu, destroying the Shi clan and destroying the brutal Zhao Empire in one fell swoop. Later, Ran Min was the emperor, the year name was Yongxing, the country name was Dawei, and the history was called Ran Wei.

Ran Min realized that these Hu people were "not my race, their hearts must be different" after all, and they were always the bane of the endless wars in the Central Plains, so he issued the famous "Killing Hu Order" in Chinese history: "All the six Hu people inside and outside, those who dare to hold troops and fight, the Han people behead the heads of the Hu people to send to Fengyang Gate, the civil officials are promoted to the third class, and the military positions are worshiped at the East Gate."

For a time, the Han people in the capital city took up arms to chase and kill the Hu people, Ran Min personally led the troops to kill the Hu people around Yecheng, beheaded more than 200,000 people in three days, and the corpses were all over the field, and at the same time Ran Min also threatened to withdraw from the Central Plains and "return to the locality", otherwise they would all be killed.

The Hu were deeply afraid that their fate would be like the Qi and the White Nu, and formed an alliance to besiege the Ran Wei regime repeatedly.

In the face of the crazy counterattack of the Hu coalition army, Ran Min responded calmly: in the first battle, the Han cavalry broke through the murderous slave camp with 3,000 nights, killed several enemy generals, chased a hundred miles, and beheaded 30,000 fierce slaves; In the second battle, 5,000 Han cavalry broke Hu and 70,000 cavalry; In the third battle, the Han army of 70,000 plus 40,000 beggars broke the Hu coalition army of more than 300,000; The four battles were defeated first and then won, with 10,000 people beheading 40,000; In the fifth war, the Han army of 60,000 was almost completely annihilated, and the Qiang and Di coalition forces were almost completely annihilated; In the sixth battle in Yecheng, with one or two thousand Han cavalry just organized, the Hu army that came from afar was defeated by 70,000.

sprinkled with the history of killing Hu Ling, Xin Rulin just talked about the time of a cup of tea, but the deep meaning contained in it, he couldn't imagine; This morning's stone table chat, the impact on Xiao Ye, in exchange for a lifetime of continuous killing.

"If it's not my race, its heart will be different," these eight words kept flashing in his mind, and the begging rebels stimulated this young hundred households even more, and the smile on Xiao Ye's face became even stronger. Xin Rulin, who originally told history with history, didn't see the abnormality of the hundred households.

Xiao Ye, who was originally just struggling to survive, seemed to see a distant goal.

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said in the previous dynasty that although those who offend me and strengthen the Han will be punished from afar, it is just a harsh rhetoric, without strong strength, without a revenge mentality, it is easy for barbarians to step on the faces of our Han people," Xin Rulin, who sighed, shook his head and didn't want to say any more.

After being silent for a moment, Xiao Ye received a report from the guards, and Tian Fangjun came again.

Xin Rulin saw that Xiao Ye had something to do, and the things he was worried about had been solved, so he took his leave and left; Xiao Ye changed into a thin earthy yellow uniform and got up and went to the front yard hall.

Xiao Ye didn't see it, when Xin Rulin left the Hundred Households, the corners of his mouth were thoughtful and cold, although he didn't hurt Xiao Ye's thoughts, but everyone could think that this Xiucai, who had lost his legs, was quietly sharpening a fast knife that was about to take shape.

Walking on the stucco road, Xiao Ye's solemn eyes could not see the rising flames suppressed in his heart.

As soon as I walked out of the Moon Garden Flower Gate, I saw Han Juan running over in a hurry, holding an envelope in her hand, "Brother, Brother Ziliang asked me to give you the letter,"

"Oh, Hanjuan, you're fine, come and talk to your sister-in-law, Xiuxiu's body is inconvenient, you can also help if you have something," Xiao Ye said to her sister while opening the fire paint on the envelope.

"I know, I still have something to do now, I shouldn't be on duty at night, I'll accompany the third sister-in-law," Seeing Xiao Ye pressing the seal on the fire paint, Han Juan hurriedly took the envelope and ran out in a hurry; Today, Xiao Liuzi is going to lead the team to the top of the mountain to practice fire/guns, and she finally replaced the herald, and she will be punished if she is late.

This girl is becoming more and more assertive, I don't know if it is right or wrong to go to Liu Ren, Xiao Ye looked at Hanjuan's back helplessly, lowered her head and unfolded the letter, and after raising her eyes and sweeping it, she couldn't help but look happy.

"This Aman, the work is quite neat," casually folded the letter paper and put it in his pocket, Xiao Ye summoned the guard Dongshan behind him, "Go find Cui Hongyuan, let him pick up the goods in person, and hand them over to the hundred households in the afternoon,"

Daozi and Da Liu stayed in Eagle Claw Fort, taking care of the black house while recuperating from their injuries, while Dongshan and Hu Tielin followed Baihu back to Madao Stone Fort.

Dongshan led the order to the mill, Xiao Ye stood in place and thought about it, and called Hu Tielin to him, "Lao/Hu, you personally go to Wang Ziliang and tell him to pass the order to Aman, the two small tribes captured, pick out the young women and put them in the Galen tribe, and send all the others to Eagle Claw Fort and put them in the black room,"

"In the future, the leader of the Galen tribe will let this barbarian mountain bear the burden, and first subdue the small tribes in the vicinity as much as possible, if he does a good job, it will be him,"

Ah Man is a spear in his hand, if it is broken, he will have pain half an hour ago, but now it will not be, it is a big deal to support another Ah Man, and he will be the only one similar leader in the future.

"Yes, Lord Baihu," Hu Tielin crossed his hands and clenched his fists, and when he saw that Xiao Ye had nothing to say, he turned around and walked out of the flower gate; Sun Xiaoming, who was following in the distance, ran over with a few guards and surrounded the hundred households.

"Let's go, let's go meet my in-laws and see if he brings good news," Xiao Ye walked towards the front yard with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

In the front hall of the hundred households, Tian Fangjun sat firmly on the chair, drinking the bitter tea of the local products, in this small living room, there are three white walls, except for a table and a few wooden chairs, I didn't see anything else, it was extremely simple, but it was a good place that other businesses couldn't come to.

Compared with those merchants with little capital, the Tian family caravan did not have to rush back and forth between Gansu Town and Madao Shibao, and the profit he obtained from one trip was more powerful than that of other merchants running three or four times.

But it is this strong profit that makes the old people in the Tian family, from top to bottom, no one is optimistic about this business route that can lay golden eggs, but the time has not yet come.

Especially in the Thousand Households of the Gravel Castle, Tian Guanglin saw the white refined salt in the iron box, and his face was already as gray as ashes, and the news that Tian Xiuxiu was here made the eyes of the deputy thousand households even more cold.

Although Tian Fangjun has never been a soldier, the military camp has entered a lot, and Tian Guanglin's undisguised murderous intent makes him feel that he and Ximen Xiaoye must not go too close, lest he be kicked out of the family circle by Tian Guanglin, who is not recognized by his six relatives in the future.

He understands the truth of his guilt, and Ximen Xiaoye's disregard for the Tian family's face completely makes the Tian family unable to hide their heads and spit on themselves.

The most important thing for the big family is face and reputation, the Miss Tian family, who was plundered by horse thieves, did not die on the grassland, but went to be a concubine to a military family, and was pregnant with a child, I can't help but say that Xiao Ye completely angered the nerves of the Tian family.

"Hey, I'm a businessman who cares how much he does, he Ximen Xiao will live one more day at night, then continue to do business, if he suffers, Tian Guanglin will also start in advance, anyway, the family business will not be delayed," Tian Fangjun, who secretly made up his mind, touched the gift list in his sleeve pocket, and decided that it would be better not to wade into troubled waters.

He brought more than a dozen carts of new grain this time, and nearly 1,000 catties of well salt were added to it, which was much better than the gray green salt; Although Tian Guanglin warned him not to deal too much with the salt business, the profiteering money had already made Tian Fangjun unable to suppress himself, so he still brought some with him.

Otherwise, his convoy this time will probably be full of well salt.
