The wild land has become a happy land for ethnic minorities in the southwest, and the economy is prosperous. The people of more than 10 ethnic groups in southwest China, such as the Han people, the Sanmiao (now the Miao, the Yao and other ethnic groups), the Baiyue (the Dong and Zhuang ethnic groups today), and the Ba people (the Tujia, Bai and other ethnic groups) gathered in this pure land without the smoke of war, and they lived and worked in peace and contentment and lived a stable life.

Yang Zaisi insisted on serving Tang Zhengshuo, sincerely sticking to it, ensuring the safety of one party, self-proclaimed "Chengzhou Mu", continued to use the "Tianyou" era name of Emperor Tang Ai, and used Tang rules and Tang styles in the village to create a feudal town loyal to the Tang dynasty in the southwest hinterland.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Li Congke praised it, and in recognition of Yang Zaisi's great achievements, he awarded the silver Qingguanglu doctor, Chengzhou Thorn History, Shangshu Zuo Servant Shot, and 12,000 households.

Yang Zaisi is the son-in-law of Ma Yin, the king of Southern Chu, one in the south and one in the north. Ma Yin was disturbed by the Yang Wu regime that rose between the Jianghuai and the Yangtze River, and every time he was in trouble, his son-in-law Yang Zaisi came up with a clever plan for him, and sent troops to help him, making the most solid backup, and finally blocked Yang Wu's forces out of Hunan.

Without the big mountain of Ma Yin, Feishan Pass would not be so peaceful, not to mention expansion. Yang Zaisi is also very good at dealing with the world, knowing that every New Year's holiday, he has to send someone to send his father-in-law to Feishan native products such as bacon, duck, bear bile, mink, tiger skin, etc., which makes Ma Yin very happy, and from time to time he also sends his subordinates to pay a return visit.

What Feishan lacked most was iron tools, and Ma Yin also generously carried out normal business exchanges with his son-in-law, allowing iron tools and horses to enter the Feishan area.

Yang Zaisi's wife, Ma, married into the Yang family at the age of eighteen. Yang Zaisi loves this wife the most, and most of the time she lives with Ma's, not because of her background and beauty, but because of her resourcefulness and generosity.

Yang Zaisi married Pan Jinsheng's sister and the side room Zheng again, and Ma didn't say a word, because in her opinion, the Yang family should be prosperous, and there are talented people in the world, and her father Ma Yin is also a group of wives and concubines, and doesn't there be more than 30 children? Thinking about the seven sons again, it's not much, it's not much.

On Ma Yin's 70th birthday, it happened to be autumn, Yang Zaisi was in trouble, to go or not to go? He kept thinking about it. Don't go, my father-in-law has been taking care of me for so many years; Go ahead, it's not a problem with your health, I'm afraid that my father-in-law will detain him, and the tragic image of Feishan being burned down will always linger. The days are getting closer and closer, and Yang Zaisi doesn't know what to do.

One night, Yang Zaisi came to Ma's room, sat and drank tea vigorously, without saying a word to Ma. Ma looked at it and was depressed, and thought: There must be something hidden from me.

Before Ma walked slowly, he was about to lean on Zaisi's shoulder, but who knew that he suddenly got up and stood up, and Ma hit his head in Zaisi's arms. Yang Zaisi grabbed Ma's waist, and Ma said: "Old boy, the child has just fallen asleep, the monkey is anxious, don't be ashamed." ”

"Hehe, you think I'm old, huh?"

"Where is it, the general is in his prime, and his majesty is not overwhelming, and no one can look down on him except you and me. In my eyes, you will always be thirty years old. Ma Shi lay in Zaisi's arms and said coquettishly.

"Don't be relieved of my heart, my grandson is hugged, and he is still thirty years old." Thinking about it again, he pinched Ma's nose and couldn't help laughing, "Madame is only eighteen years old, her face is like a peach blossom, I don't know if I think it's a yellow flower girl." ”

"Don't coax me to be happy, Wan'er is almost ten years old, hurry up, what's the matter?"

"Hey, it's not your father's birthday that worries me."

"Just this little thing, I thought it was the sky falling, of course, it collapsed and hit you first, gurgling." Ma couldn't stop laughing.

"Don't laugh, talk about business, see your two tiger teeth are exposed."

"This is my house, there are no outsiders, I can show it if I want, and I have to take off my clothes." said that Ma really took off his coat.

"By the way, my father must have not eaten wild boar for a long time, right?"

"What's the matter? Do you still want to go to the mountains and get it yourself? Isn't it enough to order your subordinates for this little thing? ”

"This is my father's seventieth birthday, and I didn't go in person on my sixtieth birthday.

"Don't be reckless, there are millions of clansmen flying in the mountains, you can't do without you."

"The wild boar that my men beat is disrespectful, it's just a wild boar, and I will stab it to death with a sword."

"Since it's my father's birthday, why are you so entangled?"

"I want to go, but I'm afraid that my father will ......"

"Are you still afraid that your father will eat you? Give him a birthday celebration, if you dare to play tricks, I will fight with him. ”

"Mrs. Someone who knows my heart, that's all I am worried about. You see Yan'er is only four years old, if something happens to me, what will you do? ”

"Father, he dares, if he dares to touch half of your hair, I will be the first to kill him and help you to the throne of the king of Southern Chu."

"No, no, ma'am." Ponder again and wave your hand.

"But you still have to prepare for the worst, just choose 100 of the most powerful generals in martial arts, pretend to be porters, and follow you in Beishan Tanzhou."

"It's still Madame's thoughtfulness, I'm kind of convinced of you."

"Where? I know you're in a dilemma, so I had to make it clear, and that's what you want. ”

"When will you leave?"

"What's the hurry, aren't you still going to hunt wild boars? I'll talk about it when you get your wild boar. ”

"Do you really want me to go?"

"The gentleman has said a word, and he still wants to take it back? Not to mention that you are a general. ”

"I'll subdue your wild boar first......" Yang Zaisi lifted his wife off the ground with both hands, and the candlelight went out......

Early the next morning, Yang Zaisi got up and practiced in the courtyard. "Yo, it's so early, general." Madame didn't know when she was standing in front of her.

"Go take the child, why do you watch me practice? I want to learn secretly. ”

"Don't go, I know, no matter what you say, you must do it yourself, don't worry about you going to the mountains alone."

"Don't worry, I'm enough. Are you going to go with me? ”

"Yes, I still have a care when I go, you can't have any mistakes, fighting wild boars is not going to the battlefield."

"I know, I'll do what I can." Yang Zaisi said as he prepared the guys, and the fire guns, bows and arrows, and flying swords were also sheathed and hung on his waist.

"I'm still a little worried."

"I'm charging on the battlefield, tens of thousands of people are not afraid, and I am afraid of a wild boar?" Yang Zaisi is confident.

"I'm going, old boy."

"Okay, okay, then you're ready guys."

"Well, that's pretty much it. But I have to go and change my clothes. ”

So Yang Zaisi and his wife set off, followed by Bailai's entourage from a distance. As soon as he entered Gutian, Yang Zaisi saw a brown and black wild boar from a distance two hundred meters away, constantly arching the soil in the ground with its fanged mouth.

Yang Zaisi slowly squatted down, opened the safety of the abductor, and the cat walked forward for another forty or so steps, and then aimed at the head of the wild boar and fired.

Bang –

The wild boar was hit.

However, the wild boar did not immediately fall to the ground, and ran in the direction where Yang Zaisi was standing. I saw that he unhurriedly took out two arrows, mounted a crossbow, and shot at the wild boar. Two arrows flew out and hit the boar in the eye.

Although the wild boar could not see the object in front of it clearly, its keen sense of smell still allowed it to smell Yang Zaisi and his wife sixty or seventy steps away.

Suddenly, the wild boar leaped up and pounced.

Madame, get out of the way, quick—

Yang Zaisi pushed Ma Xifeng aside, quickly pulled out the Flying Sword, and stabbed it at the heart of the wild boar. The sword pierced into the boar's heart, and Yang Zaisi immediately drew the sword.

Suddenly, the wild boar lost its center of gravity, fell to the ground with a "plop", panting, dying and struggling.

"The lord is mighty, the lord is mighty." The retinue behind all rushed up and praised in unison.

"Call it a day," Yang Zaisi put away his sword and took a sip ......of water, "This is the most ferocious and largest wild boar I have ever encountered in my life, at least more than three hundred catties." ”

"Old boy, you are really too picky, there are so many wild boars in Gutian, you will send one to your father."

"Madame, obey! If you don't hit twenty heads today, you won't go back. ”

"That's right, that's like my general." Ma Shi kissed Zaisi fiercely.

So, everyone divided into several teams and continued to hunt wild boars. In less than two hours, by the time of the Yamaguchi round, there were exactly twenty wild boars, including the one that entered the mountain to fight, and five or six of them were captured alive.

"Old boy, call it a day, go back to Chengzhou." Ma Xifeng said with a smile. The group carried the wild boar and went down the mountain beamingly.

Back in Chengzhou City, Ma Xifeng asked Yang Zaisi to rest in the house: "Take care of the congratulatory gifts, I'll just explain it, you don't have to worry about it." ”

"Thank you, madam, then I'll take the child with me." ……

In the early morning of the second day, Yang Zaisi gathered 12 merchant ships, including 4 large ships, each carrying 200 people, and 8 small boats, each carrying 100 people, loaded with gifts, from Chengzhou City along the Hongjiang River to the north, and then turned eastward, entered Dongting Lake, and went south into the Xiangjiang River, all the way unimpeded.

As the merchant ships moved, the trees and peaks on both sides of the river gradually retreated backwards until the crystal clear water of the river disappeared. The terrain is getting flatter and flatter, the river is getting wider and wider, and the river is getting deeper and deeper, and Yang Zaisi knows that the fleet has left the territory of Chenghui Prefecture and entered his father-in-law's territory.

Yang Zaisi took the front big boat, standing at the bow of the boat, staring ahead, pressing the flying sword in his hand, wearing a battle robe, the breeze blowing, his hair and clothes fluttering in the wind, this so-called "old man is strong, tiger brave hero" also.

In order to prevent Ma Yin's subordinates from slandering and making extraneous branches, Yang Zaisi also brought 200 personal guards, stayed on the boat, and once there was an accident, he would go ashore, occupy the dock, and answer on the river.

It's almost time to arrive in Tanzhou, Yang Zaisi looked in the mirror, cut off his long beard, and then shaved it clean, straightened his clothes, and was very satisfied. Then he stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the north flow of the Xiangjiang River, the shore was dyed with forests, hundreds of boats in the river competed for the current, the waves curbed the flying boat, the river surface of Tanzhou and Chengzhou are different.
