In the second defensive battle of the grain depot, Zhang Xuan's reconstituted defensive formation undoubtedly played a huge role.

The Yang clan's disciples were in a team of ten, standing side by side with spears on the high wall to defend, forming a cluster of spear arrays, withstanding the fierce attacks of the mountain bandits again and again, and the huge collective strength exerted by the spear array made the mountain bandits helpless.

And the archers on the roof are no longer ornaments, they condescendingly shoot arrows, causing great trouble to the attacking mountain bandits, cold arrows are invincible, many bandits are shot by heavy arrows, run a few steps and then fall headlong, die in the grass.

Although the number of mountain bandits was greater than the Yang clan's disciples who participated in the defense, they paid a huge number of casualties, and in just half an hour, nearly 100 people died under the spears and arrows.

But the major event that changed the tide of the war was the death of the bandit leader Luo Yifan.

The death of the bandit leader undoubtedly played a pivotal role in the crisis of Yangjiazhuang, Yu Wenhua was reluctant to come forward, hundreds of mountain bandits had no backbone, and the military spirit began to disintegrate rapidly.

Some people are glad to have gained freedom, while others are at a loss, but I believe that more people are thinking about the wealth and women occupied by Luo Yifan in the cottage.

After the news of Luo Yifan's murder came, hundreds of vicious mountain bandits fled like a whirlwind, and a menacing storm disappeared in a short period of time.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yu Wenhua quickly left Yangjiazhuang and returned to Huayin County under the escort of more than a dozen entourages......

As the day dawned, the Yang clan helped the old and the young out of the ancestral hall and began to return to their respective homes, while hundreds of Yang disciples and family members went door to door searching for individual mountain bandits who might be hiding.

The corpses in the grain depot have been cleaned up, and the Yang children and family members who died in the war have been transported back to the ancestral hall, and the corpses of nearly 200 mountain bandits are all buried in the mountains and forests.

Although many people were exhausted from the night's sleep, the joy of victory kept them awake, and in the square in front of the ancestral hall, a group of young Yang disciples surrounded Zhang Xuan, throwing him high again and again, cheering for victory.

At this time, an elder of the Yang family hurriedly walked out of the ancestral hall, his name was Yang Wenjun, he was the younger brother of the head of the family, Yang Wenxian, he walked over quickly and smiled from afar: "Okay, let's stop making trouble, let go of Zhang Gongzi!" ”

The children of the Yang family put down Zhang Xuan, hurriedly gathered in front of Yang Wenjun, and said gossipingly: "Third uncle, what reward do we have?" ”

"The head of the house asked you to repair the wall, if the wall is repaired well, everyone will be rewarded, if you don't repair it, you will deduct the monthly money, don't go quickly!"

More than 20 Yang disciples stuck out their tongues and ran towards the grain depot one after another, Yang Wenjun came over and smiled at Zhang Xuan: "Zhang Gongzi, please come with me, the family wants to talk to you." ”

Zhang Xuan nodded and followed Yang Wenjun into the ancestral hall.

．．．．．．．

In the ancestral hall of elders, five elders representing each room of the Yang family gathered together to urgently discuss the next step.

Although the head of the Yang family is the highest decision-maker of the family, the responsibilities of the head of the family are mainly external, and for many large families, especially the famous family, there are many branches, and it is difficult to convince the public to make decisions by only one family head, especially the internal affairs involving the vital interests of each family.

Therefore, many large families often have elders or patriarchal councils, which are actually representatives of the interests of each house, and everyone uses negotiation to balance internal interests.

The Yang family is no exception, and the Yang family has elected a total of five respected elders to form an elders' council to make decisions on the family's internal affairs.

The head of the family, Yang Wenxian, had already briefed the five Yang elders about the causes and consequences of the night attack last night, and the faces of the five elders were very solemn, they really didn't expect that this was a conspiracy planned by Yu Wenshu.

Especially Yang Qingming turned out to be the eighth of the thirteen Taibao of Yuwen, which made them even more worried, so didn't many of the secrets of the Yang family be mastered by Yuwenshu?

"Wenxian, how many things are left with Xuangan?" An elder asked in a hoarse voice.

This is the issue that everyone is most concerned about, they need to completely break off with Yang Xuangan's rebellion, but Yang Xuangan is the former head of the family after all, and he still has a lot of inextricable relationships with the family.

Yang Wenxian said in a low voice: "In the past few months, we have been cleaning up the materials of Xuangan, and everything that should be burned has been burned, we don't have it here, and there may be a little more in Beppu over there in Lushi County." ”

"Then why don't you dispose of it?" Another elderly man asked angrily.

"Second uncle, don't be angry, listen to my explanation!"

Yang Wenxian hurriedly comforted the old man, "I have been dealing with the prohibited items in Lushi County, because there are too many things, and I am afraid that people will find out, so they are all processed in batches, and the processing is almost over, at most send someone to do it, and it should be completed." ”

"Is it possible to completely separate from him after dealing with his things?"

This is also the question that everyone is most concerned about, and the five pairs of eyes looked at Yang Wenxian together.

Yang Wenxian sighed helplessly, and said to everyone: "This is also the thing that troubles me the most, Xuangan has been asking us for help, two months ago I sent him a thousand stones of grain from Lushi County, and a few days ago he sent someone to ask me for help, hoping that I could send a sum of money to disband the team." ”

This sentence is like a spoonful of water poured into a hot oil pot, and the pot suddenly exploded in the lobby, and everyone was extremely angry, and condemned Yang Xuangan for rebelling and harming the family in unison, and now he will continue to drag it down, how can this work, everyone is against sending him money again.

At this time, Yang Daqi, the eldest, said: "Everyone be quiet and listen to me." ”

Everyone quieted down, and Yang Daqi said slowly: "Actually, we all agreed that he would rebel at the beginning, so we can't completely blame Xuan Gan, but the matter has come to this point, protecting the family is the top priority, I believe that Xuan Gan does not want the family to be persecuted by Yu Wenshu again, so we can agree to his request, give him a sum of money to disband the rebel team, and at the same time make it clear to him that this is the last time, and he is not allowed to return to the family, what do you think?" ”

This plan is also reasonable, especially the latter one is even more about everyone's hearts, everyone agreed, Yang Wenxian saw that everyone agreed, so he got up and said: "That's it!" There are still 10,000 yuan in the cellar in Lushi County, so we will give him that money, and burn the rest of the prohibited items by the way, and I will let Wen Jun do it. ”

"10,000 yuan is not a small amount, how to send it? To avoid the eyes and ears of the government, does Wenxian have a plan? ”

Yang Wenxian nodded, "According to the plan of sending grain last time, it should not be a big problem to take water transportation and send ten more disciples to escort it." ”

At this time, Yang Wenjun appeared at the door, bowed down and said, "Family master, elders, I brought him." ”

"Hurry up, please come in!"

The elders of the Yang family stood up one after another, each of them was full of gratitude to Zhang Xuan in their hearts, if it wasn't for Zhang Xuan turning the tide last night, the Yang family would probably suffer an unprecedented catastrophe, and the five of them might not survive.

Zhang Xuan walked in quickly, he bowed down and saluted everyone, "Junior Zhang Xuan, see all the elders!" ”

"Zhang Gongzi is too polite, please take a seat!"

Several elders sat down around Zhang Xuan like a moon, and everyone also sat down, at this time, Yang Wenxian smiled and said: "Gongzi saved the Yang clan last night, we can't repay it, please accept our salute first." ”

He knelt down with several elders and kowtowed respectfully to Zhang Xuan, but Zhang Xuan had no choice but to let them bow and thank him.

Yang Wenxian waved his hand again, and the two butlers stepped forward with two copper plates, each with five ingots of yellow and clear gold on the copper plates.

"This is five hundred taels of gold, although it is far from being comparable to Zhang Gongzi's great favor to the Yang family, but it is also a little bit of our heart, please Zhang Gongzi must accept it."

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "The wishes of the head of the family and the elders, Zhang Xuan has received it, but I can't accept the gold, my mentor is also a member of the Yang clan, so it is my duty to contribute to the Yang family, not only that, if the Yang family still needs me to contribute, I will never postpone it, and it can be regarded as my repayment of the teacher's kindness." ”

Yang Wenxian and the others repeatedly persuaded him, but Zhang Xuan resolutely refused to accept it, and everyone had no choice but to give up.

In fact, Yang Qi's reputation in the Yang family is not very good, he is conceited, abandoning his wife and children, but he has such an apprentice, which can be regarded as a little compensation for him to the Yang family.

At this time, Yang Daqi, the eldest man, moved in his heart, if Zhang Xuan was willing to help send the money, it would be better, he whispered to Yang Wenxian: "Wenxian, why don't you ask Zhang Gongzi to do another favor and escort the money for us." ”

Yang Wenxian understood what his uncle meant, he was silent for a while, Yang Xuangan's hiding place is a great secret, even if the Yang family only a few core disciples know, let alone let outsiders know, but Zhang Xuan has a great favor to the Yang family, and he is a disciple of Yang Qi, so he should be able to trust him.

What's more important is to transport 10,000 yuan, safety is very important, especially to prevent thieves from attacking and robbing money, and having Zhang Xuan to participate in the escort can indeed make them feel a lot more at ease.

Thinking of this, Yang Wenxian smiled again and asked, "How is Zhang Gongzi's water nature?" ”

Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "The younger generation grew up near the water since childhood, and in terms of water nature, it is only a little worse than a fish. ”

Zhang Xuan was born as a special soldier, water is the basic requirement, in the Army Academy, water training is also an important physical subject, he once practiced diving in the Yellow River, water kung fu is extremely superb.

Everyone laughed when they heard him say something funny, and Yang Wenxian said: "There may be one more thing to ask Gongzi for help, if Gongzi is inconvenient, it doesn't matter." ”

In fact, Zhang Xuan had already guessed what was going on, and was targeted by Yu Wenshu, how could Yang Wenxian not inform Yang Xuangan immediately, this was the real purpose of his coming to the Yang family master.

"The head of the family, please say, as long as Zhang Xuan can do it, he will never postpone it!"

"Good! Tomorrow, I invite Gongzi and a few children of the Yang family to go to Lushi County, we have a very important matter to deal with. ”

Lao Gao is on the list, and everyone urgently needs to vote for it!
