"Girl, please be seated!" Seeing that the envoy from Woniu Mountain was a girl, the cold and stiff lines on Li Hualong's face softened slightly, he smiled at Zhan Ning'er, and pointed to the guest seat. Zhan Ning'er waited for him to sit on the top seat before taking a seat.

"Did Ye Tusi invite the girl here?" The little guy got the tea and quietly retreated, Li Hualong gently wiped the tea leaves with the tea lid, pressed it again, picked up the teacup, sipped the tea leaves through the gap and took a sip gently, and then asked slowly.

"Yes! Ye Xiaotian is now inconvenient to use the people of the Lying Niu Division, the reason is ...... The little woman doesn't say it, and you know it, Lord Governor. So he took advantage of the opportunity to hire my Zhanjia......"

Zhan Ning'er said this, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she was always a little shy when she talked about her marriage to an outsider, even if she had a hearty personality like her. Zhan Ning'er pursed her lips before continuing: "Only then did I quietly bring the news and asked the little girl to go to Chengdu for him first, I didn't want to go to Chengdu, only to know that the governor had arrived in Songfan." ”

Li Hualong was slightly surprised, raised his gray eyebrows and glanced at her, smiled slightly, and said, "It turns out that the girl is Ye Tusi's fiancée!" Good! Okay very! Ye Tusi is loyal and patriotic, Miss Zhan runs thousands of miles for him, there is Liang Hongyu drum in ancient times, Miss Zhan does not let the sages, and she is also the husband of the middle woman! ”

Zhan Ning'er didn't have the heart to listen to him boast about himself, although this praise came from the mouth of a provincial governor, which can be said to be very weighty. She unceremoniously interrupted Li Hualong's words, handed over the token that Ye Xiaotian gave her, and asked Li Hualong to officially confirm her identity, and then said: "Lord Governor, the little woman is here to confirm with Lord Governor that when can Woniuling be launched to cooperate with the imperial court?" ”

Li Hualong frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "There is an accident, now Ningxia is rebelling, and the Song Domain is rumoring. If Yang Yinglong is persecuted at this time, the court will have to fight on both sides, in that case......"

Zhan Ning'er was anxious when she heard this, she likes to dance with guns and sticks, and she doesn't read much, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand the stakes in this, Ye Xiaotian will plan and put a large number of Yang Yinglong's spies into Woniuling, and entrust them with important positions, which is a very risky thing.

If it's been a long time. It's hard to say that they can't cultivate party henchmen and lay a foundation, and it will inevitably be more difficult to clean up at that time, and maybe it will hurt Woniuling's vitality a lot. Zhan Ning'er immediately said: "My lord! The door of Woniuling was opened, and the traitors and thieves were welcomed, just to cooperate with the imperial court. But this move is tantamount to playing with fire in Woniuling, and after a long time, I am afraid that the fake will become real and cause great trouble. Now the imperial court wants to hold off on its side? So how should Woniu Ridge deal with itself? ”

Li Hualong also knew that this move was justified by his own side. But the plan for Yang Yinglong was originally planned by their hawkish one-party faction, not promoted by the imperial court. Even if the court pushed it, things changed. There must also be a priority, and sacrificing a corner for this is a natural choice for the imperial court.

However, Ye Xiaotian is not a first-term official after all. It is not convenient to use the set of rules of the rogue official to restrain him. has reached the status of Li Hualong, and he is often an official in the local area, not in the center. is more down-to-earth, so he also understands more about telling some high-sounding truths, but in fact, his persuasiveness is very limited.

Li Hualong thought for a while, and then said slowly: "Miss Zhan, don't be in a hurry, the current situation is not something that the old man could have predicted in advance. In this case, the old man has already reported to the court, or the court will have a way to get the best of both worlds. ”

"The best of both worlds?"

Zhan Ning'er is not a woman who likes aggressiveness, not to mention that the other party is the governor of a province, but now she is fighting for the interests of Ye Xiaotian, she is Ye Xiaotian's person after she gets married, to put it mildly, what she is fighting for is the interests of their family, once it comes to their own home, women like it the most.

"But I don't know how long the Governor's estimation will take for the rebellion to subside? A year and a half? Three years and five years? Ten or twenty years? Maybe when the imperial court frees up its hands and prepares to deal with Yang Yinglong, Woniuling has already changed its master's surname Yang! ”

Zhan Ning'er's apricot eyes showed a deep displeasure: "The court can afford to wait, but I can't afford to wait in Woniu Mountain!" ”

Li Hualong naturally understood what Zhan Ning'er said, Ye Xiaotian would plan everything, put a large number of Banzhou spies into Woniuling, and put them in a high position, it is easy to clean them in a short period of time, once it is a long time, they will become maggots attached to the bones, and it will inevitably hurt the muscles and bones if they want to clean it at that time.

Li Hualong put down the teacup, paced a few steps slowly, and said, "What the girl is worried about, the old man understands. But there is a glimmer of possibility, and the old man is not willing to give up the internal response of Woniuling, which is wedged into Banzhou, and the role it can play can be better than that of 50,000 elite soldiers fighting head-on......"

Li Hualong stopped and turned to Zhan Ning'er: "Ye Tusi is coming to Chengdu, right?" Please find him, let him delay as much time as possible, and the old man will repair another book, send it to the capital by 800 miles of speed, state the stakes and make them come up with a plan for both worlds as soon as possible! ”

Li Hualong said that this was the case, and Zhan Ning'er was not too strong, so he reluctantly agreed, and stood up.

Li Hualong said with some surprise: "The girl just came and left? Traveling thousands of miles, you must be tired, why not ......"

Zhan Ning'er said with some unhappiness: "I'm worried that a certain idiot trusts some people too much, and walks too fast along the way, and before I know it, I have arrived in Chengdu!" It's better to stop him immediately! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

A certain idiot in Zhan Ning'er's mouth is actually not going fast, because he has now become a captive.

Ye Xiaotian was in a village near Chongqing at the moment, and was hung in a shady greenhouse, and he was hung with the descendants of General Fubo, the young master of the Shizhu Ma family, Ma Qiancheng, and many bacon and sausages, and no one else.

It seems that being able to hang with these bacon sausages as cured people is also a special treatment that only after these two celebrities. Ye Xiaotian stood on tiptoe, so that the rope on his wrist could be less forced, so that it would not hurt too much: "Brother Ma, who is that woman?" ”

Ma Qiancheng was slightly shorter than Ye Xiaotian, his feet did not touch the ground, and he was hanging on the shed and floating freely, hearing Ye Xiaotian's question, Ma Qiancheng pursed the corners of his mouth disdainfully, and said, "You said that tigress?" The tigress is the girl of Qinjiazhai, called Qin Liangyu, her father's name is Qin Kui, she is a tribute student, a scholarly mandi! There was actually a girl who danced with guns and sticks, you said it was not a shame! ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "What is she going to do when she hangs us here?" ”

Ma Qiancheng pursed his lips disdainfully again: "What else can you do?" Wait for my uncle to pay the salt as ransom! Look at the hills over there. That's my uncle's territory. My uncle is a local officer of the Shioi Division! ”

Ye Xiaotian said suspiciously: "Your uncle is the official of Yanjing?" When the salt comes out of the salt well, it is to be sold, is it possible that this Qin family village is unwilling to pay for it, so it has to fight with your uncle's family to capture prisoners of war for salt? ”

Ma Qiancheng said: "That's not it! This Qin family moved from Huguang during the Yuan Dynasty, and since then they have settled here, and after a hundred and ten years, they have actually become a big family......"

Ma Qian explained in a wordy manner that the Qin family moved from Hubei during the Yuan Dynasty. Gradually developing, unique into a village, is for Qinjiazhai. Qinjiazhai is a Han village, and the surrounding villages are all tribes of the Miao family and the Tujia family.

Don't look at this Qinjiazhai surrounded by many ethnic minority tribes, it is an isolated Han village, but it is the strongest in the local area. The Han people are an agrarian people, but they are also a nation that has always mastered advanced civilization compared to other ethnic minorities.

Able to travel thousands of miles and settle in areas inhabited by other tribes. And those who do not rely on others and build villages independently, it is a group of elites with strong survival among the farming people. Therefore, despite the proximity of the local indigenous people, they have occupied the most advantageous geographical position. And it has the advantage of the number of people, but the seven or eight surrounding villages have joined forces, whether it is a civil or military fight, and they still lose more than they win against the Qinjia Village.

Originally. As a Han Chinese, they are highly respected in the local area, especially the Miao people. Most of the Miao people here are mature Miao, and they are generally friendly and respectful to the Central Plains people who have mastered the Han culture. The Han people have always been less fond of causing trouble and advocating peace, so most of the time, the tribes get along with each other amicably.

However, as an agrarian people, they have an unusually fanatical mentality about the land, and even if you throw them into the desert, they will do everything possible to turn it into a place where crops can be grown with a hoe.

After Qinjiazhai established itself here, of course, it vigorously developed agriculture, reclaimed wasteland, and planted crops. However, the people of other tribes in the surrounding houses have different production and lifestyle, they are more dependent on the mountains to eat the mountains, even if there are some simple farming methods, they are also scattered seeds, resigned to fate, and do not regard farming as their main business.

The more Qinjiazhai develops, the more the population multiplies, and the fields opened up will expand all the way, since the Sifang tribe is not mainly farming, the wasteland has no clear belonging, you pull out the weeds, open up the fertile land, and naturally you can cultivate on it.

However, the development of a large number of fields affects the surrounding ecological environment, even if it is just one animal that feels that this place is no longer suitable for survival, moving deeper into the mountains will cause the entire surrounding ecological environment to be unbalanced, and more organisms will also migrate.

This kind of change, for Qinjiazhai, which is mainly based on farming, is unwanted, a large number of animals have moved away, and they have been saved from destroying crops, but for those tribes who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, hunting and picking as the main source of livelihood, it is a disaster, and the contradictions have accumulated little by little.

Ma Qiancheng is a descendant of the Fubo general Ma Yuan, of course, he is also of Han nationality, but the Ma family lives in Shizhu and has long been integrated with the local ethnic groups, and now it is more accurate to say that he is more of a member of the Tujia family. His uncle, Mu Xuan Changling, the official of the Yanjing Division, was a local official of the Tujia family.

The Xuanjia controlled the production of local salt wells, and did not hunt and gather, but several tribes with close relations and in-laws did not, and they continued to open up mountains and reclaim land with those hard-working peasants, and inevitably had conflicts with Qinjiazhai, and as their biggest backer, the Xuanjia would of course stand up for them.

In this way, the people of Qinjiazhai and Xuanjiazhai often have disputes, and in the Ming Dynasty, if you count the large and small Tusi wars, most of them are caused by some small incidents. Sometimes, it's just some ridiculous thing in the eyes of ordinary people, but it can develop and develop, and it can become a protracted war.

What's more, now they are competing for the living environment, and they have more justified reasons, but even if the local tribes hold a group, they can rarely win the more organized Han village, not to mention that this generation of the Qin family has produced a great female man: Qin Liangyu.

This little girl is seventeen years old, she has read classics since she was a child, learned to ride and shoot, Wen Han is romantic, and she knows how to use swords, and she is actually a heroine who does not lose to Princess Pingyang. Moreover, she also adapted to local conditions, invented a weapon suitable for the local environment: the white-rod hook and sickle gun, and developed a matching method of warfare.

This time, Qinjiazhai is even more remarkable, invincible, invincible, looking at the surrounding tribes, there is no enemy. The Xuan family also suffered a lot for this, so the Xuan family launched a ruthless attack, refusing to sell salt to Qinjiazhai, and the villagers went to harm Qinjiazhai's crops from time to time.

The relationship between the two sides was twisted, Ma Qiancheng came to his uncle's house as a guest, and when he heard that the Xuan family was bullied by a little girl, Ma Qiancheng immediately volunteered to stand up for his uncle, so he ...... This is the fourth time he has been hung as bacon.

Ye Xiaotian was puzzled when he heard it, this situation was completely different from what he had seen in Guizhou. There, the Han people were weaker, how did they get here and the other way around?

Ye Xiaotian suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help asking, "You said that there are many Miao villages nearby?" I heard that the Miao people can raise Gu, the Gu magic is unpredictable, very powerful, why can't you deal with that little girl, does Qinjiazhai still have a way to deal with Gu? ”

"Gu?"

Ma Qiancheng was stunned for a moment, swinging in the air and naturally turning around, before he said: "You said Gu, I've heard of it, but that thing has long been lost in Miao Village here." Who dares to raise Gu, it is very disliked. ”

Ye Xiaotian heard him say a few words and suddenly realized, this is not like those mountain people in the Dawan Mountain area, there is no inheritance of Gu Lijiao, and the Miao people of the tribe have accepted the external civilization and become mature Miao, even if there were one or two Gu magicians in the tribe a long time ago, now they have disappeared.

Gu is in the hands of a very small number of people, its power is amazing and mysterious, which makes ordinary people who have not mastered it feel terrified and threatened! Awe and distance are inevitable choices and outcomes! The people who learned Gu were also ostracized, feared, and disgusted by the entire tribe.

Imagine, if you learn a skill, and as a result, whether you are a fellow or a foreigner, everyone sees you as a leper and is alienated and unwilling to approach, who would want to learn this craft? Naturally, it was lost. Also for the reason of maturation, their wildness gradually faded, but their civilization and organizational ability were not as good as those of more advanced races, and their combat effectiveness was naturally greatly reduced.

Ye Xiaotian listened to Ma Qiancheng's explanation, and knew that there was no danger to his life when he was captured, so he let go of half of his thoughts, and Ma Qiancheng comforted again: "Brother Ye don't have to worry, you were arrested for helping me, and my uncle will definitely ransom you out." ”

As soon as Ma Qiancheng said this, he saw a group of people walking in the distance, the three people in front of the head, the one on the left has a slender body, flexible and strong muscles, and does not look particularly muscular, strong and burly, but vigorous and powerful, looking more than twenty years old. The other is angular, resolute and tough, and looks like he is in his twenties, but the childishness on his face shows that he is just born old.

In the middle of the two, there was a man in his thirties, obese, not tall, with a round body wrapped around a red belt of Shu brocade, a white and chubby face, and walking all sweat. Ma Qiancheng said happily: "My uncle is here!" ”

When the middle-aged man with a red belt around his waist saw Ma Qiancheng who was hanging under the shed, he immediately cried and mourned: "I'll just say it!" The natal year is too old, and the Tai Sui sits on the head, and there will be woe if there is no joy! Uncle Qian is careful, ten thousand careful, I just didn't expect this disaster to be on your head! ”

Ma Qiancheng looked embarrassed: "Uncle......"

The middle-aged man with the red belt bowed and said: "Qiancheng, Uncle beg, don't help Uncle fight for grievances, Uncle redeemed you once, it was thirty loads of salt, and all the salt from Uncle's well was used to redeem you!" ”

Ma Qiancheng glared and said, "Uncle! How can thirty quintals be done! This Brother Ye was also arrested to help you, we can't ignore it! Brother Ye's ancestor is a general who is too shou and a general, how can this worth worth thirty loads of salt, right? ”

When the middle-aged man with the red belt heard this, his fat face trembled for a while, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and cry out sadly: "God~~~, why am I such a loser's nephew, you are a thunderbolt, and you will split me alive!" ”
