Chapter 64: The Six Elders
In terms of strength, Yang Xianda is slightly better than his younger brother Yang Xianmin as a toast, but with the help of the Cao family, Yang Xianda is not an opponent at all.
He has a castle that has been run by the Yang family for hundreds of years, and there is rent collected in it to eat, and it is a bit exaggerated to keep it for three years, but it is absolutely no problem to insist on two years. But can he hold on to it forever?
Seeing that spring is about to begin, the land must be ploughed, livestock must graze, hunters must go into the mountains to hunt, women and children must go to pick mushrooms, wild fruits, dig wild vegetables, and Yangjiabao still has a large number of mountain goods and furs to be transported out for trading......
This qiΔ can't be delayed, so although Cao Ruixi and Yang Xianmin didn't attack Yangjiabao with great fanfare, they just came to make a show every once in a while, and usually sent some soldiers to harass and intimidate the people in the fort, Yang Xianda still couldn't hold his breath.
On this day, after Yang Xianmin's patrol had just left for a cup of tea, more than a dozen fast horses escorted a green-robed scholar and rushed to the foot of Yangjiabao. After a short exchange of identities between the two sides, the city took a basket and picked up the green-robed scholar.
The man in the green robe was Li Qiuchi, who came to Yang Xianda on behalf of Lao Ji Gu to ask about the compensation for the death of the two hunters in the mine. When Yang Xianda heard his intention, tears almost flowed down.
Lao Ji Gu returned the Mercury Mountain to him, but after the people of Lao Ji Valley left, Cao Ruixi and Yang Xianmin brazenly sent troops to seize the Mercury Mountain, Yang Xianda led his troops to attack three times, but it was only a waste of troops, and after discovering the other party's intentions, he could only close the door and hang up the free battle card.
Now that Mercury Mountain has not been recovered, but owes Lao Jigu a debt, and in such a situation of internal and external difficulties, he has been forced to pay debts, how can Yang Xianda not have mixed feelings.
Li Qiuchi saw Yang Xianda's ugly face, smiled slightly, and said, "Is Yang Tusi worried about the current predicament?" According to Li, this matter is not difficult to solve. As the saying goes, a good man has three gangs. Yang Xianmin has a helper, can't Yang Tusi find a helper? β
Yang Xianda's face became even more ugly when he heard this, the Guoji family was originally friendly with Yang Xianmin, but later, although the Guoji family wanted to marry the Zhan family, so that he and Yang Xianmin turned their faces, they did not become friends on his side.
Yang Xianda has the closest relationship with the Zhan family, but the old fox of the Zhan family has his own plans, let him come out and go against Cao Ruixi, Zhan Boxiong may not have the courage, Yang Xianda has sent people to ask for help more than once. Zhan Boxiong just didn't move, what could he do?
But Yang Xianda's chief steward Qian Dayou heard Li Qiuchi's words, but his heart moved, and he didn't care about the rules at the moment, so he took a step forward and asked: "In Mr. Li's opinion, who can I Yang Jiabao turn to?" β
Li Qiuchi glanced at him appreciatively: "This is a smart person, if they are all like Yang Xianda, this matter is not easy to talk about." β
Li Qiuchi smiled and said: "Yang Xianmin committed the following offenses and invaded his brother with his brother. Collusion with outsiders and plotting against others. Even my Gejiazhai can't be seen. The owner of Ge Laozhai often said that people like Yang Xianmin must not die well. You and I are close at hand. If you can be a good neighbor and your neighbors have something, you will not sit idly by with the character of the owner of the old village. β
Is this a good thing? If the lord of a village is like a ranger. If he can't get used to it, he is willing to draw a knife to help, but he uses his son's life to fight for others, and he, the owner of the village, can't do it for a long time.
Again. The face of Lao Jigu when he occupied Mercury Mountain before was not far behind Cao Ruixi, how could Qian Da believe his high-sounding nonsense, but since Li Qiuchi said so......
Qian Dayou thought about it anxiously, and said to Li Qiuchi: "The lord of Ge Laozhai is chivalrous, and he has been admired for a long time. However, using the children of Gejiazhai to open up my Yangjiabao is not a matter of one person, how can I not express it in Yangjiabao, otherwise the owner of Gelaozhai is afraid that it is not easy to explain in front of the clansmen, but I don't know what the conditions of my Yangjiabao are, you can ask your village to help? β
Li Qiuchi shook the folding fan lightly, and burned the same bun as Ye Xiaotian in the cold spring: "It's not right for the money manager to say that, if it's for the sake of benefits, my Gejiazhai will not send a single soldier for others!" β
Yang Xianda also woke up at this time, he was desperate, the whole castle was trapped, there was a strong enemy outside, and some people inside began to be dissatisfied with his helplessness, seeing that the position of the toast would not be guaranteed, there was a chance, how could there be no reason not to hurry up.
Yang Xianda said: "Mr. Li's words are wrong, the emperor is not a hungry soldier, Yang wants to ask for help from Guizhai, how can he not say something." In this way, Yang and the owner of Guizhai are blood alliances, and they will advance and retreat together in the future, if Guizhai is in danger, my Yang Jiabao will also disregard the interests and harms, and give full help, how? β
Li Qiuchi had a smile on his face, the corners of his mouth slowly curled, and he squeezed out a dry smile, and said, "Li can't be the master, just to give Yang Tusi a JianyΓ¬." Hehe, come, let's discuss the issue of compensation for the sudden death of the hunter in my village. β
Qian Dayou gently kicked Yang Xianda's heel, Yang Xianda gritted his teeth, and said: "It's better like this, as long as Guizhai is willing to send troops to help me, Yang will pay three hundred taels of silver every day, what do you think?" β
Li Qiuchipi said with a smile: "Yang Tusi is too generous, but Li really can't be the master, Li is here to compensate for the sudden death of the hunter in my village." It's better to be like this, about Yang Tusi's mentions, after Li goes back, he will make a decision with the owner of the village. β
Qian Dayou couldn't hold his breath anymore, and interjected: "Why don't you tell Mr. Li how Guizhai is willing to help us deal with Yang Xianmin and Cao Ruixi." β
Li Qiuchi pretended to excuse himself and said: "Money manager, Li is indeed unable to be the master, this time, Li is indeed for the sake of the hunters in my village, and died in the compensation of Mercury Mountain." β
Li Qiuchi bit his voice and deliberately said the three words "Mercury Mountain" more heavily, Yang Xianda finally understood, it turned out that what people wanted was Mercury Mountain. Give people a basket of fish, people don't want it, people look at the pond that can raise fish.
Yang Xianda hesitated, he was reluctant, but after thinking about it carefully, if the position of Tusi was not guaranteed, what did Mercury Mountain have to do with him? What's more, the Mercury Mountain has now fallen into the hands of Yang Xianmin, if Gejiazhai refuses to help, can he recapture the Mercury Mountain?
Thinking of this, Yang Xianda made up his mind and said: "If Guizhai is willing to send troops to help me relieve the siege, Yang is willing to take Mercury Mountain as a reward, do you think this is okay?" β
Li Qiuchi folded the fan and replied happily: "A word is a certainty!" Li replied to the owner of the old village, once the two adults made a contract, the village immediately sent troops! β
Yang Xianda: "......"

Deep in the mountains, the waterfall is like a flying practice, and the mist curls up, reflecting a rainbow over the temple. In the solemn and magnificent temple, the six elders sat in the spacious and solemn meeting hall, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
After a long time, Ge Cailao glanced at everyone lightly and said, "Why don't you speak, do we just let him mess around like this?" β
Gedeva coughed lightly and said: "Our Venerable is because the two people of Ge Lao and Ge Wo were ambitious and hastily created when they tried to take the position of Venerable, and they were not originally disciples of this sect, but the divine power cannot be questioned, and the disciples of all mountains, villages, and mountains were all there at that time, and we can only admit that he is the messenger designated by the Gu God." Now that his identity has been confirmed, what can we do? β
Ge Cailao paused angrily on his crutches and said, "However, we originally released him from the mountain according to the Venerable Being's rule that he must have the experience of red dust, but what is he doing now?" Do you think he's doing it for the experience? If this continues, our Gu Sect will exist in name only. β
The elders gestured to each other with glances, quietly exchanging views, but none of them spoke, only Ge Cailao still said angrily: "He wanted to say that he would stay, but we agreed and gave him twenty years of training!"
He wanted to transfer the Dorao Department out of the mountain for safety, and because of the seduction, he was bullied by the Taoists, and even insulted the Gu God, and we agreed. What now? He actually asked the court for the position of hereditary chief official, and is planning to mobilize more tribes out of the mountain, I think he is completely determined to be in the red dust, and has no intention of returning to the mountain! This evil obstacle! If it continues like this, the foundation of my religion will be ruined by him! β
Ge Cai even scolded the "evil obstacle", obviously angry to the extreme, but she can only speak out here, in front of the disciples, she will never dare to say so. The supreme majesty of the Gu God and the Venerable One was established by them, and now they are lifting a stone to shoot themselves in the foot.
He was silent until he cleared his throat and said to him, "So, in your opinion, what should we do now?" β
Ge Cai was silent, there were some things she didn't want to say, but she didn't say it, let alone other elders. She is over eighty years old, and she has only a few years to live, and she can't bear to spend her life on the foundation of the Gu Sect ruined in a flash, and she was silent for a while, and finally gritted her teeth and said: "I will wait for all six people to go out of the mountain, and I will ask His Holiness to immediately resign from the position of the chief official and return to the mountain!" β
The youngest of the six, Geboyan, couldn't help but ask, "Our young Venerable is unruly, what if he ignores our requests?" β
A trace of murderous aura flashed in Ge Cailao's old eyes, and he said word by word: "Salute first and then soldier!" β
The other five elders suddenly became in a commotion, and Gedwa reminded in a low voice: "Gecai, if you are not careful, you will split my sect!" β
Ge Cailao was heartbroken and said, "I'd rather split, than sit back and watch it perish!" Besides, the Eight Elders' deliberations are the rules set by the First Venerable, and we are not overstepping! β
Ge Yi Lao reminded: "Ge Cai Lao, don't forget, the Eight Elders Deliberation is a privilege that can only be used when the previous Venerable has returned to heaven and the current Venerable has not yet been elected, or when the current Venerable is sick or out and cannot take care of things, and there are important matters that urgently need the Venerable to decide!" β
Ge Cai sneered: "It doesn't seem difficult to make him sick, right?" The elders bowed their heads awe, some things are the biggest taboo, even if they think about it, they will never dare to say it, and Ge Cai ......, this old woman obviously doesn't care about anything.
