Chapter 53: Love Trading

In the twilight, the big head of Zhanjiazhai stood on the second floor, sometimes the railing looked into the distance, sometimes he paced anxiously, and after waiting for a long time, someone suddenly broke into the yard and shouted: "Big head, the exhibition girl is back!" ”

Zhan Datou had just breathed a sigh of relief, and saw Jiu Gao and Jiu Dang helping Zhan Ning'er into the courtyard, Zhan Datou was taken aback, and hurriedly ran downstairs, greeted him and asked, "What's wrong with the eldest lady?" ”

Jiugao said: "Miss is fine, it's just that she has practiced martial arts too much and has collapsed slightly." ”

Zhan Datou breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "Quickly help the eldest lady to go back to the room to rest, I will ask the kitchen to stew a bowl of ginseng soup." ”

The big head of Zhan was just about to leave, but suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly turned around and said: "By the way, there is news from the castle, please go back tomorrow!" ”

……

Cool Moon Valley, January is empty, and it is like frost everywhere.

Gokig rode his horse and returned to the fort with his head down. The fort gate of Liangyue Valley is built in a narrow valley, and there is a water gate against the rock wall on the right side, and the rapids are turbulent and gushing out, forming a small waterfall. On the left is the road into the valley, the heavy gate is suspended, once it falls, the top is bolted again, it is a husband, ten thousand people do not open.

Gokigron raised his head and shouted angrily at the head of the city: "Someone, open the door!" ”

Guojiglong shouted a few times, someone at the head of the city ran over, raised a torch and shone it down, although the light was not clear, but he could hear the voice of Guojiglong, and vaguely saw that there was only one person under the city, and someone immediately responded: "Young master, wait a minute, open the city immediately." ”

A moment later, the city gate creaked up, and a small man walked out, shining a lantern on Gokiglong's body, and said in surprise: "Ouch, young master, what's wrong with you?" ”

Gojigron said angrily: "Hit the hell! He went in angrily, and the little man was dumbfounded. Turning his head to look at the deserted mountain road in the moonlight, he suddenly shuddered, and quickly followed the city gate, which creaked and creaked down again.

Although Guo Ji Gelong is a master of technical strikes, and his strength is endless, it is still difficult to gain the upper hand with one enemy and six, plus Ye Xiaotian is chanting words on the side, pinching his fingers and not knowing what he is doing, Guo Ji Gelong is very jealous of his finger Zen, for fear of his plot. If you have to be distracted and watch out for Ye Xiaotian, you will be even more unable to parry, and as a result, you will be beaten and your nose and face will be swollen.

Of course, those six people didn't benefit from him, and it was not easy to be hit by him, and those six people were more seriously injured than him. But in Guoji Gelong's opinion, he still suffered, he was the young master of the Liangyue Tusi family. was beaten into a panda by Ye Xiaotian's six nameless entourage, isn't this a loss?

As Guo Ji Gelong walked towards the castle, he gritted his teeth and cursed Ye Xiaotian. But thinking of Ye Xiaotian's inexplicable finger, he was secretly a little afraid. It seems that this Ye Xiaotian really has a good kung fu, no wonder a girl like Zhan Ning'er who is above the top and obsessed with martial arts will fall in love with him, Guo Ji Gelong is most proud of his martial arts, but he can't surpass Ye Xiaotian at this point. It's really sad in my heart.

……

The architectural system of Zhanjiabao is similar to that of Yujiazhai, but as a small city, the scale is twice as large as that of Yujiazhai. And it is surrounded by walled buildings, although it is only less than two feet high, but in the south, such a city is already quite large.

Zhanjia lives in the north city of Zhanjiabao, the whole north city is the mansion of the lord of Zhanjiabao, this is a wide and deep mansion, five into the courtyard, but also with two courtyards in the east and west, the wall is three feet high, the gate is strict, like the fort in the fort.

The gate of the front yard is extremely magnificent, the vermilion lacquer gate, the stone steps are built high, the stone lion next to the door is confronted, the open ground in front of the door fights the sky, a string of long lamps are seen all over the city, no matter when, there are eight strong men with tigers on the stone steps in front of the door holding the knife and standing with a bad face.

This is the Zhan's Tusi Mansion, like a small court, and it is also the pattern of the front hall and the back palace, but it is not called a palace or a palace. Along the central axis of the manor building, after entering the courtyard for the third time, it is the Tusi dormitory of Zhan Boxiong of the Zhan family.

At this time, in a secluded and quiet courtyard of the Tusi dormitory complex, there is a lamp in ten steps under the corridor, and a post in five steps, and the security is very strict. In the main room, there is a huge wool carpet on the floor, curtains like smoke on both sides, and a long table in the center, on which are placed several plates of fresh fruit, and a teapot with a simple shape.

In the corner of the wall, there are two lamps of a hundred monkeys playing with trees, and the white copper lamp body illuminates the whole room as bright as day. A middle-aged man with a face like a crown of jade, starry eyes and sword eyebrows, wearing a white light robe, a jade belt wrapped around his waist, leaned on the couch very easily, holding a small cup of sweet white porcelain in his hand, sipping Lu'an tea carefully, and his expression was lazy.

Opposite him was a half-hundred-year-old man dressed in a round-necked civilian robe, tall, bearded, with a plump face, bright eyes, and a gentle and generous temperament. Between his eyebrows is a wipe, and in the middle of the forehead is inlaid with a beautiful jade, which is crystal clear and priceless.

The man in white tasted the tea and said with a smile: "How is Brother Zhan thinking about it?" ”

The old man in the plain robe frowned slightly, and said, "Yang Tianwang, if you do this, aren't you afraid of attracting the interference of the imperial court?" ”

"Hehehehehe......"

The white-robed man chuckled, rolled his eyes, and a touch of anger swept over his handsome and flawless face: "Brother Zhan, do you think that today, there is the atmosphere of Hongwu and Yongle?" ”

The old man in the plain robe was slightly stunned and hesitated: "This ...... Nature is far inferior. ”

The white-robed man said: "That's it, why do you have to worry so much?" Moreover, if there is no risk at all, will it be your turn to be you and me? ”

The old man in the plain robe lowered his head when he heard this, and he was silent, and the man in the white robe did not urge, but picked up the sheep's head pot, poured himself a cup of tea, and tasted it carefully.

This white-robed man is Yang Yinglong, and the old man in the casual robe is Zhan Boxiong, the head of the Zhan family. Yang Yinglong appeared in Zhanjiabao in Shiqian Mansion, but his right-hand man Da Amu Zhao Xin appeared in Dai's house in Tongren Mansion, what are their plans?

It turned out that Yang Yinglong, who was very ambitious, was not the most concerned about Huxian County at all. It is true that Huxian County is the exit of the post road, but if it is really revealed, how much transportation does the post road have? Even if it is used as a troop dispatch, as long as it is quickly dispatched to master it when it is launched, why bother plotting early.

Yang Yinglong's layout of Huxian County is basically the Ming plank road, and his real target is Tongren, which is the gateway to the eastern part of Guizhou and the hub of the southwest region connecting the Central Plains. The Jinjiang River in Tongren leads to the Yuan water, passes through the Dongting, and goes down the Yangtze River, which is the golden waterway of the Qianjin region.

Tongren is also the key to controlling the entire Qiandong on land, which is for Yang Yinglong, who still firmly controls the Shuixi region and does not have enough confidence to provoke the old lion of the An family, running Qiandong has also become the key to his life's recovery.

Otherwise, once he sharpens his sword for ten years and once he raises an army, there is the An clan in the west, the Tian clan in the east, and the Song clan in the south, where will he go? Could it be that he climbed over the mountains, fought into the Bashan and Shushui in the north, and fought for territory with the Tibetan Tusi masters there? If that's the case, he might as well stay in Banzhou with An An, what he wants is the splendid country of the Central Plains!

In this way, if he wants to strengthen himself, he has to go east. He wants to enter the Central Plains, but also to the east, and to the east of Banzhou, is the Sizhou Sinan two prefectures, and these two prefectures have just lost the absolute control of the old lord of the Tian family, the former Tian clan under the Tusi have different intentions, have been self-reliant, he wants to master the eight prefectures of Qiandong, it is a godsend.

What Yang Yinglong wants to take the most is Tongren, but if he advances eastward step by step, at the beginning of the erosion, it will be easy for people to discover his true purpose, so they will pull his hind legs and create obstacles, so Yang Yinglong took another way and decided to skip Shiqian Mansion, get Tongren in his hands first, and cultivate a puppet over there.

In this way, he could only conquer the Shiqian Mansion between Banzhou and Tongren, and the method he adopted was to use the dispute between the Mercury Mountain to provoke the disputes between the Tusi of Shiqian and Tongren, so that they could form hatred between them. At the same time, he could also take the opportunity to strengthen his control over the Yang family's branch in Shiqian Mansion.

But just mastering the Shiqian Yang family is not enough for him to quickly master the entire Shiqian Mansion when he launches, he still needs to fight for another Tusi, and the grasp will be greater, Yang Yinglong's goal is naturally placed on the Zhan family, one of the eight King Kongs, the strength of the Zhan family is enough to become his right-hand man, and the Zhan family has a great relationship with the An family, if the Zhan family is pulled in, the resistance from the An family will be much smaller.

So, Yang Yinglong condescended to Zhanjiabao and came to Zhanjiabao in person to try to persuade Zhan Boxiong. At this time, of course, he would not reveal his true ambitions, but only claimed that he was willing to divide Tongren with the Zhan family, and when Zhan Boxiong entered the palace, it would be impossible to withdraw his hands at that time.

Zhan Boxiong also has his ambitions, he wants to strengthen the Zhan family, it is best to let the Zhan family jump out of the Eight King Kongs and become among the kings of heaven, but the territory of the Zhan family is limited, which has become a congenital deficiency, and he has ambitions in vain, but he can only cry out in vain.

Yang Yinglong's mention made him excited, but he originally thought that carving up the Tongren Mansion was just a fool's dream, because the toasts in other places would not sit idly by, and the imperial court would not sit idly by, but after listening to the detailed plan revealed to him by Yang Yinglong, he felt that it was not necessarily impossible, although there was still a risk, but why was it risky to be rich and noble?

Zhan Boxiong lowered his head and muttered for a long time, slowly raised his head, and said, "If Zhan Mou agrees to cooperate with you, it is not impossible. ”

Yang Yinglong was overjoyed and said, "Brother Zhan agreed?" ”

Zhan Boxiong said: "I have sent someone to summon my niece Ning'er back, hehe, Yang Tianwang hasn't seen my niece yet, right?" ”

Yang Yinglong was stunned, and didn't understand what he was doing when he suddenly talked about his niece, so he replied casually: "Zhan Ning'er?" I was in Guiyang, I once saw her, Zhong Lingyu was beautiful, beautiful and generous, and she was a good woman. ”

Zhan Boxiong said happily: "This is very good, since Yang Tianwang also thinks that Ning Er is beautiful and cute, then...... If I marry her to the king of heaven as the second lady, will the king agree? ”

: At the beginning of the month, I asked you for a guaranteed monthly pass and a recommended ticket!.
