Not long after Yang Qian left, Yang Zheng began to prepare in the room.

First, he asked Yang An, his personal servant who was waiting outside, to bring in a large wooden box, and then he ordered Long Ritian to teleport all the crossbows and arrows stored in the Infinite Armory.

Twelve small yellow crossbows and one hundred and thirty arrows, all of which were packed into a large wooden box, he said loudly to Yang An, who was waiting outside: "Yang An, prepare a carriage for me immediately." ”

After Yang An heard this, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Owner, do you want to go out?" ”

Yang Zheng nodded. "I'm in a hurry to go out, so hurry up and get ready, by the way, remember to move the big wooden box in my room to the carriage later."

Yang An listened to it and immediately complied.

For Yang An, Yang Zheng is still very satisfied.

Yang An is eighteen years old this year, abandoned by his parents on the side of the road since he was a child, and was later picked up by Yang Zheng's father and returned to Yangjiazhuang, became Yang Zheng's follower scholar, and grew up with Yang Zheng.

For a long time, Yang Zheng did not regard him as an outsider, and the two were called master and servant, but they were actually similar to brothers.

Therefore, Yang An is loyal to the Yang family and is very reliable, so Yang Zheng doesn't have to worry about the matter of the strong crossbow being known to him.

Don't look at Yang An's long look like a thin monkey, but his strength is quite big, the big wooden box full of crossbow arrows has to weigh at least more than 100 catties, Yang An held this heavy wooden box, and he didn't see how hard he was, so he carried it to the carriage in three or two steps.

After Yang Zheng entered the carriage, Yang An, who was sitting in front, turned his head and asked, "Master, where are we going now?" ”

"Dalonggou!" Yang Zheng replied without thinking.

Hearing this, Yang An didn't ask any more questions, directly brandished the horsewhip, drove the carriage out of Yangjiazhuang's backyard, and went straight to the direction of Dalonggou.

………………

Dalonggou, about four or five miles away from Yangjiazhuang, where the mountains and forests are bare, the land is barren, basically no one goes anywhere to patronize, even if it is to cut firewood, there is no way to cut a few loads of firewood.

It took less than half an hour for Yang Zheng's carriage to arrive at the entrance of Dalonggou.

Dalonggou is a relatively wide valley, but the entrance is relatively narrow, only four or five meters wide, but the inside of Dalonggou is full of bends and eight turns, and there is no cave.

From a distance, Yang Zheng saw that at the entrance of Dalonggou, the second brother Yang Qian was leading several clan disciples, waiting outside, presumably to wait for them.

After seeing that the eldest brother's carriage finally appeared, Yang Qian and several family members quickly ran to help him get out of the car.

Yang Zheng glanced at everyone and asked casually, "What about the rest?" ”

Yang Qian replied: "They are all waiting in the big dragon ditch." ”

Yang Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and instructed the children of the family: "You guys, move the wooden box I put in the carriage out." ”

"Yes, owner!"

After several family members heard the order, they quickly moved out of the wooden box, and then the two of them carried the wooden box, followed behind the Yang Zheng brothers, and walked straight to the depths of Dalonggou.

In the middle of Dalonggou, there is a flat and open wasteland, with an area of about thousands of square meters, and from a distance, Yang Zheng saw that around the wasteland, dozens of strong men gathered or squatting or standing.

These people are all children of the Yang clan, all of them are about sixteen to thirty years old, all of them are in good health, full of energy, and absolutely loyal and reliable.

Seeing this scene, Yang Zheng understood on the spot that Yang Qian was probably preparing to choose this flat wasteland as a place to train crossbow shooting.

After seeing Yang Zheng appear, more than 40 Yangjiazhuang Zhuang Zhuang men who were waiting in the flat wasteland came to salute one after another, "I've seen the owner of the village!" ”

"Excuse me!"

Yang Zheng waved his hand, glanced at everyone calmly, and then found a high slope and stood on it.

When everyone saw this, they knew that the owner had something to say, so they all gathered around them.

At this time, Yang Zheng pondered for a moment, brewed his words, and said slowly: "Today, all of you present are the children of my Yang family's clan, and there are no outsiders present, so I will no longer hide it." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts moved, and they secretly guessed.

Originally, when Yang Qian didn't say anything at noon, he brought them here, and these people were very puzzled in their hearts, and they didn't understand what medicine was sold in Yang Qian's gourd.

Now Yang Zheng has reappeared, and looking at his solemn expression, it seems that there is something important to tell everyone, which arouses everyone's curiosity even more.

But the owner didn't say anything, and they couldn't ask in a hurry, so they could only wait quietly in place to see what the owner would say next.

Yang Zheng, who was standing on a high place, cleared his throat and continued: "Last night, Yang Meng was kidnapped by the Black Tiger Village, presumably everyone knows about it, and I called everyone here today for this matter. ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Yang Zheng's words.

At this time, within this group of strong men in the family, there are two people with high status, one is called Yang Xiu, and the other is called Yang Shiyuan, they are both Yang Zheng's cousins, due to the relatively close relationship, the two couldn't help but ask.

"Master, you have summoned us here, is there any secret plan that cannot be achieved?"

"I also heard about it last night, saying that the thief of the Black Tiger Village not only robbed Yang Meng and the grain tax, but also said that he wanted our Yang family to take out 30,000 taels of silver to acquaintances, such an insatiable act is really hateful, the owner of the village summoned us out this time, could it be that he wanted to go to the Black Tiger Mountain to rescue Yang Meng?"

After listening to Yang Xiu and Yang Shiyuan's words, Yang Zheng's heart moved.

He never expected that these two cousins were so thoughtful, and he summoned them to Dalonggou without saying anything, and these two people were able to guess that they were not far from ten.

Thinking of this, Yang Zheng didn't sell Guanzi, and said straight to the point: "That's right, the brothers in the clan are gathered here today to discuss how to rescue the third brother Yang Meng." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Xiu, who has always been relatively calm-headed, frowned and said: "Owner, the Black Tiger Village is a well-known green forest mountain bandit in the Lianyun Mountain Range, not to mention anything else, the three owners of the Black Tiger Village are all ruthless and strong in martial arts, plus there are more than 1,000 people in the Black Tiger Village, just with our little people, let alone going to the Black Tiger Village to save people, it is estimated that the Black Tiger Village can't even be found on any mountain." ”

As soon as the words fell, an uncle who was about thirty years old also said, "What Yang Xiu said makes sense, since ancient times, the people do not fight with bandits, and merchants do not fight with officials, our Yangjiazhuang is just a farm in Qingping Town, and the brothers and sisters in the village are also some farmers who can only farm. Since the Black Tiger Village is asking for a ransom, let's give it to him, although the amount is a little larger, but it can finally break the fortune and eliminate the disaster. ”

Hearing this, Yang Shiyuan, who was full of beard, was not happy, and retorted on the spot: "Uncle Clan's words, Shiyuan dare not agree!" If we really take out a ransom of 30,000 taels this time, it is estimated that the thieves will see that we are easy to bully, and they will definitely beat our attention in the future. ”

When the clan uncle saw Yang Shiyuan refuting himself in public, his face turned red, and he shouted on the spot: "Who are the people in the Black Tiger Village, what is our Yang family fighting with them, come on, come on, tell me what you say......"

The two quarreled like this, and the scene exploded all of a sudden, and suddenly, the rest of the people began to talk about it one by one.

At this time, Yang Zheng saw that the scene was a little out of control, and his face sank on the spot, and he shouted angrily: "Shut up for me!" ”

Seeing that the owner of the village was angry, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Yang Zheng took a deep breath, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and said slowly: "You gathered you here to get down to business, not to listen to your noise. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, turned his gaze to the clan uncle who was still red-faced, and said lightly: "If our Yang Jiazhuang can really come up with a ransom of 30,000 taels, then I will not gather you here today, our Yang family can't get the ransom now, and the third brother is detained in the hands of the Black Tiger Village, and his life is in danger, so we must think of another way, otherwise the third brother will definitely die." ”

After a moment of silence, Yang Zheng continued: "It is my third brother who has been kidnapped this time, if it is any child of the Yang family who is taken away, I, Yang Zheng, will rescue it at all costs, because we are all surnamed Yang and we are all a family." ”

Hearing this, all the people present lowered their heads one after another and said no more.

At this time, Yang Xiu, who was in the lead, thought for a moment and said, "Owner, just say what plan you have, no matter what, you are now the head of the Yang family, and we will only look forward to you." ”

"Yes, what does the owner want us to do, even if he tells us, I, Yang Shiyuan, am not ambiguous." Among these people, Yang Shiyuan has the loudest voice, and no matter what he does, he has always been Yang Zheng's most loyal supporter.

The rest of the people also followed suit, anyway, they are all members of the Yang family, and there is no reason not to save them.

As for the clan uncle who has been afraid of things just now, he didn't say a word at the moment anyway, and didn't say anything, now on this occasion, a smart person knows that everything has to be listened to by the owner, whether he likes it or not, the owner has the final say, if he continues to fight against the owner, it is undoubtedly to find guilt with himself.

Seeing that the emotions of everyone at the scene had calmed down, Yang Zheng told everyone about his plan.
