A bright moon hung low in the cold night sky, so big and round that it seemed to be plucked with a single stretch of hand. At night, the mercury mountain loses the hustle and bustle of the day, and stands quietly in the night, overlooking the vast land.

Two figures carried iron pickaxes and quietly climbed up the mercury mountain, which was crisscrossed by countless caves, and only two people watched the mountain at night, and they were already asleep. The two who sneaked in quietly jumped into a mine and dug inside.

After about two quarters of an hour, the two men dug a hole, carefully buried something in it, and crept out of the mine and ran along the ridge to the south, in the direction of Laoji Valley.

In Lao Ji Valley, in Yu Jiahai's bedroom, the two brothers were eating roe deer meat hot pot with relish. Yu Puman took two bites and praised: "Not bad! Seeing that this meat is not fat, I am afraid that it tastes too woody, and I don't want it to be so tender. ”

Yu Jiahai said: "This is the caravan of the tycoon young master brought back from the north, and it is only in winter that it can be put down." He sent two to Gedo, and Geduo gave one to us. ”

Yu Puman smiled: "This old Ge is quite interesting." ”

Yu Jiahai said: "I heard that this roe deer runs very fast and is extremely difficult to chase, but it is curious by nature, and it will stop and take a look at everything it sees, and ponder a reason." It was the hunter who shot an arrow, and it escaped by luck, and the hunter did not have to chase it, because it would not be long before it would run back on its own to see what had happened, so it was also called a stupid roe deer. ”

Yu Puman couldn't help but laugh again, and said, "Curiosity kills the roe deer!" Such beasts are rare. ”

After laughing for a while, Yu Puman picked up a cup of hot wine and drank it, smacking the taste, and said to Jiahai: "You sent someone over?" ”

Yu Jiahai nodded, a touch of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and said, "Lord Ye has returned from the capital." He said it when he sent someone to bring the roe deer. He has sent someone to Tongren to see Lord Ye. We have been preparing carefully for so long, how can we fall short, we have to start first, so as not to be stopped by Lord Ye. ”

Yu Puman nodded and said in a deep voice: "Cheng!" You do what you need to do first, and then it's up to me! If you don't open up the territory, how can you not make a world! There is no immortality, if we two old guys who have been kicked out of the house, if we build our own foundation! ”

At midnight, the stars are shining.

Yu Puman pushed open the door. Came out of Yu Jiahai's room. At night, it was quiet in Laoji Valley, and the wind was not strong, but it was still very cold. Yu puffed on his old sheepskin jacket and walked towards his residence with steady steps.

Early the next morning, Mercury Mountain continued to mine. As for the ownership of Mercury Mountain, all parties have been entangled. However, it has been under the control of the Yang family in recent decades, and at present, it officially belongs to Yang Xianda, the Yang family's Tusi.

As the second son, Yang Xianmin also knew that the position of Tusi would not belong to him, so he just wanted to make more money. But Yang Xianda as a toast. Will you give up the richest part of the family to this half-brother?

After Yang Xianda accepted the edict and officially became a toast, he finally disregarded his stepmother's face and brazenly took the Mercury Mountain into his own hands. As a result, the dispute between the two brothers suddenly became fierce.

In order to prevent the second brother from sending people to make trouble, Yang Xianda organized a mine protection team of more than 100 people, divided into four teams, and patrolled around the mountains every day. At this time, a mine protection team was patrolling the mountain. Suddenly, I saw more than a dozen men dressed in animal skins, carrying hunting bows and forks, running along the ridge.

One of the leaders of the mine guard immediately shouted, "Stop! What are you doing, the front is our Yang family's territory, and you are not allowed to trespass. ”

The dozen or so people dressed as Orions stopped. He shouted to him from afar, "We have two brothers chasing a clouded leopard up the mountain, do you see?" ”

"What? Clouded leopard? What are you kidding, we didn't see anything! Go, go, don't mess around! ”

The members of the mine guard team were puzzled by what they heard, and one of them laughed loudly: "I said you haven't woken up yet, have you?" If a kitten or a puppy had gone up the mountain, we might not have seen it. A clouded leopard plus two big living people, can we get him up the mountain? ”

The hunters gathered together and whispered, and one of the public pushed over and said suspiciously: "Don't talk nonsense! We obviously saw those two brothers chasing the clouded leopard to this side, where else can they go but this mountain, we have to go up the mountain to find out! ”

The man of the mine guard team raised his knife horizontally and shouted, "Fart! Lend you guts, this is our Yang family's mine, you can search if you want? ”

The man said angrily: "Don't let you search? Aren't you empty-hearted, aren't our brothers on the mountain? ”

As soon as they saw the quarrel between the two sides, the other hunters also ran over, and one of them said angrily: "The skin of the clouded leopard is worth a lot of money, big brother, don't they want to hurt our brothers and rob the clouded leopard, right?" ”

"Not bad! Possibly! Let's go up the mountain and search! ”

"You dare, your Gejiazhai is still against the sky, come to our Yang family to spread wild!"

As soon as the two sides disagreed, they immediately started a big fight, and the patrol team was only about 20 people, and the number of people did not have much advantage over the other side. However, as soon as they started here, the police post on the mountain immediately sounded the gong, and several other reinforcements quickly arrived.

The hunters were outnumbered and fled by them, and the men of the mine guards chased them all the way, and when they saw that they were like rabbits and disappeared, they returned to the mountain in a daze.

There would be conflicts between the tribes at every turn, and petty fights had long become commonplace, so after the strong men of the mine protection team returned to the mountain, they did not take it seriously, but when they had lunch, they finally realized that this time was different.

The warriors of Lao Ji Valley, who were all over the mountain, swooped down on the ridge and the mountainside on both sides towards the Mercury Mountain, and the gong was struck again, but this time to no avail. When the people of the mine protection team left their jobs and climbed the hillside, they immediately made the most sensible, correct and rapid response: turn around and run.

"To reclaim the Mercury Mountain now?"

Yang Xianmin was very happy when he heard that Cao Ruixi had come to his cottage, but when he rushed out of the cottage and saw Cao Ruixi coming with a large number of people, he was already a little confused, and when he heard him explain his intentions, he was even more dizzy.

Yang Xianmin originally had the Guoji family as a backer, and the eldest brother Yang Xianda had the Zhanjia as the backstage. The two brothers happened to be in a state of flux. Later, the Guoji family wanted to marry the Zhan family, which was equivalent to abandoning Yang Xianmin, although the marriage was not successful, but the relationship between Yang Xianmin and the Guoji family was no longer what it used to be.

In this case, in order to have the support of external forces in order to compete with the eldest brother, Yang Xianmin had to take refuge in Cao Ruixi.

Cao Ruixi is ruthless, and he is too greedy, not only greedy, but also too ugly. So everyone has always stayed away from him, and Yang Xianmin also had to take refuge in him when he was desperate.

Among the eight King Kongs in Guizhou, Shiqian Mansion accounts for three: the Cao family, the Tong family and the Zhan family. The more closed the place, the stronger the control power of the local forces. The Guizhou region is relatively closed compared to other places, so the influence of the imperial court is far less than that of the locality, and the transportation inside and outside Shiqian Mansion is all by water, which is even more closed in this relatively closed environment.

Therefore, there is a result that there are three major King Kongs in Shiqian and one place. However, with the development of the times. In other places, it is no longer a pure small-scale peasant economy where chickens and dogs hear each other's voices and do not get along with each other, and you are still closed and backward here, and the economic strength will inevitably gradually widen the gap.

In fact, it is not uncommon for other toasts to not be below these three or even slightly surpass them, but this ranking was determined after hundreds of years of evaluation. Unless one of these eight King Kongs completely declines, it will be difficult for others to replace them.

In this case, just like the current Tian family, it is actually no longer worthy of being ranked among the four heavenly kings, but with the strong historical background of the Tian family. But it can still be among them. Another example is the Yu family and the Zhang family in Tongren Mansion, which is roughly like this.

However, Cao Ruixi was not satisfied with the current status of the Cao family. He wanted to climb higher. Now with the support of the Banzhou Yang family, his ambitions have been further inflated. After Zhao Wenyuan left, he spent a few days receiving the last batch of guests, then gathered people and rushed to Yang Xianmin's territory in person.

"Now that the local division has sent troops to help you, why not take back the mercury mountain immediately? Not only will I help you regain the Mercury Mountain, but I will also help you depose Yang Xianda's position as Toast! ”

Cao Ruixi entered Yang Xianmin's cottage, sat down in the hall, and immediately threw out another "bomb": Yang Xianda conspired to seize his brother's property and was not worthy of being a toast. As the chief of Shiqian, Cao should uphold justice for you! After recapturing the Mercury Mountain, I will convene the Tong family, the Zhan family, and the Tusi of your Yang family to discuss the removal of Yang Xianda's position as Tusi. ”

Yang Xianmin was stunned again, and said sneeringly: "Yet...... And then what? ”

Cao Ruixi said: "Then, naturally, Yang Xianda's son will take over the position of Tusi." His son is six years old, and you helped him up, so you won't be the one who is the speaker of the Yang family at that time? ”

Cao Ruixi said this, and glanced at Yang Xianmin, "You don't want to replace him, do you?" ”

Yang Xianmin's face turned red, and he said curtly: "I'...... How could I be so cranky. ”

Cao Ruixi smiled "hehe", leaned closer, and said sadly: "The man's husband, he should have ambitions." If you think so, why not? However, it is not possible to take the position of Tusi, if you kill Yang Xianda first and help his son to be Tusi, after a while, you will ...... this little child."

Cao Ruixi held his palm like a knife, slammed down, and said with a cruel smile: "As long as your hands and feet are clean, even if others suspect it, there is no evidence." At that time, your eldest brother's house was already extinct, so you had to be a brother and a brother, if you don't make toast, who will make toast? ”

Yang Xianmin's face flashed red, and then he said worriedly: "Brother Ruixi, this ...... Is it feasible? ”

Cao Ruixi leaned back in the chair and smiled triumphantly: "Brother Yang Xian, I'm not afraid to let you know that the Banzhou Yang family has long been unpleasant to look at your eldest brother, and they are very supportive of me doing this." In addition, the Zhan family will soon become in-laws with the Banzhou Yang family, do you think, in the entire Shiqian Mansion, can anyone stop us? ”

Yang Xianmin was taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "Is what Brother Ruixi said true? ”

Cao Ruixi said: "Half a word is true! He revealed more information to him.

Yang Xianmin was bold when he heard this, and said: "I've had enough of his pickle!" Today, there is the support of the Zongfang, the Zhan family is the alliance, and Brother Cao is helping each other, what else is there to be afraid of! Brother Rishi will wait for a while, brother will go and gather the soldiers and horses, and let's take back the Mercury Mountain! ”
