In the distance, a river is rolling down, there are a few small dots on the silver bright water, standing on the riverside can see clearly, it is a few small boats fishing in the wind and waves.

The fisherman stood firmly in the bow of the boat with his bare feet, his ten toes habitually spread and firmly attached to the deck, and the stern man pierced the pebble-thick penny to the bottom of the water, and held the boat steadily, his arms bulging like heavy chime stones because of the exertion.

The fisherman at the bow of the boat twisted his waist gracefully and raised his arms, and the net in his hand spread out like a light cloud......

On the hillside, there are bunches of irregularly shaped paddy fields, as if a piece of heavenly mirror has broken and distributed on the ground, and bunches of green are drilled out of the white water surface, and then the blue sky and white clouds are reflected, interweaving a beautiful picture.

With each step, the delicate and silky soft mud creaks out of their toes like mischievous loaches, creating tiny bubbles on the surface of the water.

Sweet mountain songs floated over the paddy fields, and the peasants who were working in the paddy fields sang a word from you and me, including men, women, old and young, singing in relay and enjoying themselves.

In fact, the sun is a bit scorching, but people here are used to this kind of weather. There was a horse on the mountainside, it was a jujube red horse, the horse hung its tail, and walked weakly, and immediately sat a man in green clothes, wearing a bamboo hat on his head, and a horse bag on his buttocks, which looked like a person running long distances.

Although the bamboo hat shaded the sun, sweat ran down his sideburns, pooled into drops on his chin, and fell on the horse's back, and he looked into the distance, a mountain path that zigzagged and did not know where it led.

Four or five girls were approaching him on the path, all dressed in white blouses, embroidered with red painted birds, and with playful silver ornaments hanging from the right knot. A slender little man tied an embroidered streamer around his waist. Wearing a pair of blue wide pants and a pair of embroidered "white shoes" on his feet, he looks beautiful, playful and charming.

The girls were not very old, twelve or thirteen years old. The girls here are precocious, they get married early, and even the older ones are married, even at their age. There are also many people who are already wives and mothers.

The man in Tsing Yi jumped off the horse neatly, wiped the sweat on his face with the back of his hand, and asked a few girls with a polite smile: "Driver, may I ask the girl, how far is it from here to Yaozhou City?" ”

"Ahh It's an elder brother of the Han family. ”

As soon as I heard his accent, the girls laughed heartily. One of the girls turned around and raised her hand, and pointed enthusiastically: "Oh, you go from here, there is a fork in the road ahead, don't take the left one, or you will go far, you go down directly, and walk along the river when you get to the river." There is a suspension bridge about seven or eight miles away......"

The little girl's Chinese is not very standard. The voice is delicate and glutinous. The summer dress was thin, and she raised her wrist with a silver bracelet to point into the distance. Twisting her waist and raising her arms, a beautiful curve stretched up on her chest, which made her red and fluttering little face even more pretty.

The man in Tsing Yi nodded with a smile and arched his hand: "Thank you girl for your advice." ”

Another little girl saw that this man from the Han family was handsome and spoke politely, and suddenly said with a smile: "Brother Han, you are thirsty, do you want to drink some water." ”

"Okay!" The man in Tsing Yi showed a mouthful of white teeth and smiled heartily: "But...... What do you drink it with? ”

He had seen the water basket that the girl was carrying on her shoulder, but there was neither a bowl nor a scoop, and he did not have a crow's mouth, could he put his mouth into the water basket and drink?

The girl laughed and said, "You are so stupid, they will give you a drink." ”

The girl turned her shoulders sideways, holding the bottom of the water basket with one hand, the clear and bright water poured down, Yang Fan squatted down, opened his mouth wide, and drank the sweet water with a "bang", a little girl pushed the little girl who was carrying the water, the little girl "oops", her body shook, and the water splashed on Yang Fan's face, and several girls laughed "card".

The little girl glared at the little sisters, and under a pair of dark and bright eyebrows, her eyes were bent into a shy crescent moon: "I'm sorry, Brother Han." ”

"It's nothing, it's cool to rush like this."

The man in Tsing Yi wiped a handful of water droplets on his face, and his originally sweaty face was really much cooler.

"Hmm!"

The girl bit her lip, smiled, and beckoned to him, "Let's go!" ”

The girls were shoulder to shoulder, not knowing what they were saying, sometimes someone laughed, sometimes someone chased after them, and the splash jumped up behind their shoulders, flashing in the air and falling back into the basket. Suddenly, a girl turned around and shouted at the man in Tsing Yi: "Brother Han, welcome to our Hebai tribe!" ”

Yang Fan turned around and beckoned to them, and when he turned his head again, a series of fresh chirping, sweet and melodious songs sounded behind him: "(A Xiaoni) sister, across the mountain (Ni) heard (hey) the bell ringing, (Ge is the mouth of Luo I Ni little brother), I don't know where Brother (Ni) is going?" ”

Yang Fan smiled slightly and shook the reins of the horse.

He likes this place, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the people are simple. Amorous girls are like Nanyang girls, they like it without concealment, pursue it generously, tease you, but do not come to accommodate you, like a clear mountain spring water, always run freely on her established life trajectory.

I heard that the imperial court sent 500 soldiers to garrison Yaozhou, because the terrain was treacherous, the miasma was too heavy, Zuihou died, this time he came, Zhang Cambodia also specially prepared for him to prevent the plague medicine. But when he saw the beautiful mountains and rivers here, it was simply a paradise, how could it be so sinister?

Yang Fan forgot that he grew up in Nanyang since he was a child, and he could have adapted to the weather here very well. At that time, the population movement was not large, and the warriors who fought thousands of miles away from their homeland did have an element of water and soil adaptation, and it was like a paradise for him, but for others it was probably hell.

The sky is as blue as washing, the river is like a beautiful streamer, the wind blows gently on the hillside, the paddy fields on the hillside are sparkling, and Yang Fan's figure gradually disappears at the end of the hillside in the girl's amorous and sweet mountain song......

Yaozhou Governor's Mansion, Governor Wen Hao is holding a reception banquet for Lord Qincha.

The officials from all walks of life who rushed to meet Qincha were messy and had no rules at all, which was a different situation than the official situation in Wangzhou.

Yaozhou was annexed to the imperial court relatively late, and the governor and assassin here were also hereditary officials, selected from the local tribal leaders, because the time of attachment was not long. It stands to reason that the one who serves as the governor and the assassin should be the largest tribal leader in Shili here. It will not be like Luo Shudao in Wangzhou, which has declined over the generations and has become a complete bureaucrat.

But the actual situation is not like this, the governor of Yaozhou and the assassin of Yaozhou are indeed the leaders of the larger local tribes, but in terms of strength, they are at most ranked third and fourth, and there are two larger tribes above them. But he didn't hold any position in the government.

What about Weishenme? Because these two tribes are equal in strength, it is difficult to distinguish between them. These two tribes are the White Barbarians and the Black Barbarians. The strength of the two clans is equal, who do you let be the governor and who will be the assassin? No one wanted to be inferior, so in the end they had to take a compromise and choose the tribes that ranked third and fourth in strength, and these two tribes of equal strength became the existence above the local government.

This was also when the imperial court wanted to strengthen its control over Yaozhou. The reason why the governor and assassin of the region were deposed and removed from office due to the strong backlash of the local tribes. Because there are two more powerful tribal leaders behind them, they are the Xun period of the white barbarian and the Meng Zhezhu of the black barbarian.

These two families are the families that have been inherited in the southwest region for thousands of years, such as the barbarian Meng Zhezhu, who is the surname of Jianning, and his ancestor is the Meng Huo Mengren brother who was captured by Zhuge Liang and the seven.

After Xun Qi returned to Yaozhou from Wangzhou angrily, before his ass could sit firmly, he heard that Huang Jingrong had chased after him from Wangzhou. Xun was humiliated by Huang Jingrong in Wangzhou, and this time he returned to his territory. The person who held the banquet was smaller than him in terms of strength. How could he have gone to the feast himself, so he sent only one son.

Bamboo big-headed people have always liked to compete with the Kaoru period. He didn't want to be short in anything, and when he heard that he didn't go, he didn't go, so he sent a son to the banquet.

In the Governor's Mansion, except for Governor Wen Hao and Thorn Shi Yunxuan, who wore official uniforms, even the officials under them wore their own clothes as usual. And whether there is an official position or not, when they meet, they are all called by their position and status in their own clan, such as toast, tushe, big-headed person, two-headed person, small-headed person, big housekeeper, small housekeeper, village head, etc.

Huang Jingrong also went to this southwest ground to know that the Tusi head people are not just different in name, in fact, there is a big difference between the two. Tusi is the ruler of a territory and the owner of the land, the people plough their land, must pay grain to the Tusi as an errand, Tusi holds the political, economic, and military power in the territory, in fact, it is equivalent to the lord of a country.

Tusha is the direct family of Tusi, and has the same power as the big head, but the status is higher than that of the big head, equivalent to the prince of a country. Under the earth house are the big head, the two-headed and the small-headed people, as well as the big steward, the second steward and the head of the village.

Huang Jingrong couldn't tell the difference between them, anyway, in his eyes, these people were all dirt buns, he was an angel who could kill any life. Therefore, he was too lazy to remember the official positions and names of these people, to distinguish between their status, and to be polite to them.

Because of his disdain, the two biggest local toasters did not appear, but only sent a son to do a perfunctory thing, and he was not discovered.

Huang Jingrong's perfunctory and disdain naturally made these toasters and leaders secretly unhappy, but after all, he was sent by the imperial court, and he couldn't turn his face with him for this matter, but there were even fewer people who were willing to come forward to talk enthusiastically, everyone was just perfunctory, and then slipped aside to chat with acquaintances, Huang Jingrong was even more unhappy in his eyes.

The banquet began, the chaos was like the king of the mountain in the Juyi Hall, the toast leaders did not stand, sat and did not sit, drank wine in a big bowl, and ate meat, Huang Jingrong saw that they had no reverence for themselves, and his heart became more and more unhappy. ”
