"Master Hou, are you here to inspect the armament?" Lao Jiang happily opened the door, very dissatisfied with the attitude of the head of the family who couldn't come once a year, and finally saw that the Hou Ye was coming, of course, he had to say the key point directly, so as not to make him always think that he was eating white rice.

"Uncle Jiang, let's not use the word armament, I'm just coming to see a few of you, you don't go to the house often this year, what are you doing on the mountain bag, you haven't guarded the city enough for a lifetime, walk around, go around, you have nothing to do in the Zhuangzi, I also feel down-to-earth in my heart."

Yun Ye put a large bag of pig's head meat that he had just bought from the market on the big wooden table at the door, looking at the old man always needed a little supplication, exquisite dishes these veterans didn't like, and the fat pig's head meat was their favorite thing.

Lao Jiang opened the lotus leaf bag, picked up a piece of pig's nose meat and threw it in his mouth, and said to the other elders: "It's rare that Hou Ye still remembers our hobby, Liu Guotou's pig's head meat tastes good, don't be in a hurry to eat the meat first, Hou Ye, show you the results of our old brother in the past half a year." “

Surrounded by a group of veterans, Yun Ye entered the backyard, it was the time to drink, there were many people in the yard, a sturdy man with a bare back and pants holding a wooden shovel to shovel the sake lees from the steaming barrel, the woman with a towel on her mouth was pouring cold water on the wine lees, and a few women were sticking the degree label on the wine jar, every time the wine was steamed, the degree was different, and it needed to be blended to form a unity, the wine of the Yun family is now popular in Chang'an, the Cheng family caravan pulled the blended wine everywhere to cheat the grassland, the money of the savages on the Gobi, The shopkeeper deliberately said that if you don't want good wine, you should blend bad wine, and the higher the degree, the better.

I didn't even taste the wine, but I was dragged by Lao Jiang to a room with a lot of opinions, and when I saw the smugness on the faces of the veterans, I knew that they must have done something very amazing.

Lao Jiang spat twice in the palm of his hand, pulled a thick iron chain on the ground, and fought with his arms, and a large piece of the ground was lifted. A swarthy hole was revealed.

Another veteran surnamed Zhao blew a fire fold. Stepping on the steep wooden ladder and walking down, Yun Ye followed in confusion, and when he stepped on the ground, he found that there was an extremely deep hole in front of him, Lao Jiang lit a torch, strode to the front, and motioned for Yun Ye to follow. The dark passage is extremely tortuous, there are stone gates in many places, every hundred steps, there will be a small stone house that can stretch the waist, Yun Ye recalled, and found that the direction of the dark passage was exactly opposite the Yun family Zhuangzi.

Walked for a while. I had already reached the end of the dark passage, the hill was a stone mountain, and in some places there was water dripping down, which looked very unreliable, and the ground was scattered with drills, sledgehammers, hoes and other things. Yun Ye turned his head, and his heart was so sour that he could barely speak: "Uncle Jiang." What are you? “

"Master Hou. The cunning rabbit still has three holes, how can we not prepare in advance. We are all veterans of the battlefield, although we don't understand the ups and downs in the court, but the dirty things we have seen are by no means less, some things are still carried out by our brothers themselves, and we have never done anything to kill people and goods, I thought that when we arrived at the Yun family, we still did these things, but I didn't expect that Hou Ye had never used us, the Yun family, and never let us do any dirty things.

Hou Ye, who doesn't want him to be a prince of Wandai? Hou Ye is now favored by the emperor, the Yun family is naturally smooth sailing, Hou Ye does not think about the future, one is young, the other is not a loss, we can't take the Yun family's fortune in vain, and forget the dangers of the future if we live a good life, so a few of our old guys, we have discussed, when we still have strength, we will carve out a way for the Yun family to prevent accidents, as long as there are more soldiers to encircle and suppress, with Hou Ye's ability, even if there are only people left in our family, it is a blink of an eye to make a comeback. “

"Master Hou, our family will last for 10,000 years, descendants Hengchang, please Lord Hou accept us as retainers. We will wait to die and advance and retreat with the Yun family, if there is a recurrence, the sky will thunder and thunder, and the descendants will die! “

The people of the Tang Dynasty generally don't swear, once they swear, they will do it even if they play with their lives, they regard their oaths as more important than their lives, many swordsmen in the Guanzhong, they live by faith, the so-called three cups of Turannuo, Wuyue is light, it is them, all kinds of strange promises are rarely not completed.

"Jiang Niu, are you willing to become a retainer of the Yun family?" Yun Ye took out his hand knife and gave it to Lao Jiang, who took it with both hands without hesitation and said, "Jiang Niu is willing, and he will not regret his death." After saying that, he cut his wrist with a knife and raised it, Yun Ye took the knife and stabbed it on his wrist, Lao Jiang raised his hand and pasted his wound with Yun Ye's wound of Yun Ye, there is a saying here, it is called dissolving life.

Thirty-eight times, and twelve more until the veteran who had gone out with the caravan returned, no matter who it was, would feel dizzy after cutting the wound on his wrist more than thirty times.

"Master Hou, you only need to cut one knife, why do you need to cut yourself so many knives, you will soon have no good meat on your arm." The ceremony couldn't be interrupted at the beginning, and Lao Jiang insisted on asking Yun Ye until the ceremony was over.

"One knife and one life, what I pay is just a wound, and in the future, you may pay for your life, and the ceremony must be grand." In a word, Lao Jiang and others sighed.

At this time, although Yun Ye wanted to scold people very much, seeing that it was not good for the veterans who sold their lives, including the lives of future generations, to themselves in a room, he couldn't open his mouth to scold, and after thinking about it, he said to Lao Jiang: "You are going to divide the family, each family will divide one descendant, and you will not participate in the core affairs of the Yun family, although the Yun family is important, you can't be left without incense." ”

"Hahaha, Hou Ye's words are bad, I will wait for the Yun family, how can I say my own incense, I will wait for death, I need to accompany you, we must die first in terms of age, after Yun Hou chooses a cemetery in the future, we will live in it first, open the way for you, and discount the little ghost of the underworld, the incense you receive, no matter what, there will be a share of us, so there is no need to divide the family, there will be more worries about the family, so I can't do it."

Yun Ye raised his head and laughed miserably, looked at the veterans and said: "The Yun family does not seek to be rich and rich, but only wants everyone around them to be happy and healthy, so in our family, unless it is absolutely necessary, don't sacrifice lightly, the lives of the Yun family are precious, a little favor, a little money can't buy it." ”

Hearing Yun Ye's words, the veterans also laughed, this time they were completely tied to the Yun family, and from now on, the money they got from the Yun family was no longer called wages, but Yulu.

Returned home with an arm injury, Xin Yue wiped her tears and bandaged Yun Ye's wound, grandma was overjoyed, her two hands kept together to worship the Bodhisattva, Li Anlan stood behind Yun Ye, and the envious expression on her face couldn't be concealed no matter what.

"Ye'er, grandma will go to the winery tomorrow, thank them well, our family also has a real retainer, such a person is reliable, like the Heavenly Demon Queen, find two less."

"Husband, Rong'er is also your child, do you think you should assign a few retainers in the family to Rong'er, five households, do you think it?" Li Anlan gritted his teeth and knelt in front of Yun Ye to plead.

Xin Yue is very dissatisfied, the retainer is not a copper coin treasure, give a few to a few, the retainer is the master's life in many cases, even if it is a rebellion, it must be the retainer who dies with the master in the end, but on the issue of the retainer, Xin Yue, the housewife, is not qualified to make irresponsible remarks. “

"Well, that's the case, fifty retainers, Rong'er will have five, and the girl on the grassland will also have five, I will arrange it then, don't ask again, the retainers of the Yun family will not allow you to blaspheme, you know?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Xin Yue, Li Anlan bowed down, but even the old grandmother nodded in agreement, the most important symbol of the feudal family is the fief and the retainers, both of which are indispensable.

With the retainers, the status of the head of the family suddenly improved infinitely, before going to bed, Xin Yue carried a basin of water, and Li Anlan also carried a basin of water, both of whom had to wash the feet of the head of the family, and they couldn't argue, so they had to let each of them wash one.

After washing her feet, Xin Yue climbed into bed early, flashing her big eyes to seduce Yun Ye, and Li Anlan sat at the head of the bed with a squeak and was reluctant to go out.

"It's also in vain, the medicine is not over, the princess doesn't want to go back, then sleep together, I have something to say to you tonight." Yun Ye pushed Li Anlan into the bed, took off his clothes, went to bed, blew out the lights, and as soon as the tent was put down, the bed became a private space completely.

Lying between the two women, but they didn't have the heart to speak, feeling the violent heartbeat on both sides, Yun Ye gritted his teeth and whispered: "The Yun family has only now had a little capital, our family was originally grass on the wall, top-heavy and shallow, and the matter of accepting retainers needs to be extremely cautious, these fifty veterans, who have followed me since Longyou, have been doing their best to protect our family, and they can be regarded as knowing the roots, so I will agree, I am a suspicious person, and I also know that this is not a good problem, It's not easy to gain my trust, you have to be careful, although the retainers are important, but they can't be led by the nose, many nobles in the history books rebelled, not necessarily the decision of the head of the family, when all the retainers decided to do something, the head of the family was actually powerless to resist.

Xin Yue doesn't know these things, An Lan should have heard of it somewhat, your imperial grandfather was actually forced to jump out and rebel by the retainers and your father, the Yun family wants to put an end to this kind of thing, with the retainers, don't let people think that we have the capital to rebel, under the current environment, jumping out of the rebellion will be worse than a pig.

There will be no problem with the Yun family, An Lan, Rong'er, you have to watch it, if the signs are not right, immediately clean up the portal, do not hesitate at all, the emperor of Tiangao is far away for a long time, it is easy to breed bad thoughts. (To be continued.) )
