Chapter Forty-Six: All the Way West, Ji's Provocation
It's a long road, and there will be a different time.
Qingyang stood beside the huge stone stele, bowed his hand to Mu Yan and Mu Qing, and said solemnly: "Don't say goodbye today, the two of you return to the sealed land, you might as well send someone to my Qing clan." ”
For Mu Yan and Mu Qing, this was the first time they were summoned after defecting to the Qing clan, and they immediately said without hesitation: "Dare not obey your fate!"
From Tongdu Avenue to the west, entering the lower road, Qingyang couldn't help frowning.
There are two kinds of Tao:
One is said to be on the road, that is, Tongdu Avenue, built tall and flat, easy to pass.
When I went down, it was just a rut that was crushed, rugged and bumpy.
Fortunately, in the team, there were both Ye's private army and hundreds of city guards to help, so they marched safely all the way.
Walking out of thirty miles, near the avenue, a majestic mansion appeared in front of everyone.
The eaves are high, the wall of the barrier is erected, and on the tall watchtower, a seven-foot banner is fluttering in the wind, and the hunting sounds.
The huge black word "Ji" in the book made Qingyang's eyes cold.
This is where the corporal Jidan sealed soil is.
Four or five miles away, next to a large well field, a mound was raised.
The mound is not dangerous, about three zhang high, the size of a thousand zhang in a square circle, but in the flat wilderness, it is controlled for dozens of miles around.
Ji's house is located on top of the mound, covering an area of 200 zhang.
The huge Qinggang stone is the foundation, and the upper layer is a tall wall built with rammed earth masonry, which is more than two zhang high, and firmly encloses the Ji family house covering an area of hundreds of zhang, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Just by looking at its towering gatehouse, Xuanhe's main hall, and the scale of family house construction, as many as dozens of small courtyards, you can know that the Ji family is rich.
Even some ordinary sergeants with shallow roots can't compare to the magnificence of Ji's house.
It is said that as a neighbor, a knight, it is common sense to help each other, but the Ji family is a vassal of the Fei family.
"The corporal is knighted and attached to the Fei family, which is understandable, but don't mess with me!"
Qingyang said coldly in his heart, he is no longer the soft boy he was at the beginning, just the small actions of the Ji family in the past, and he will never be soft when he encounters it in the future.
Fifteen miles to the west, the terrain dropped significantly, and it entered the land of salt.
Shiozawa is a salt lake that dried up decades ago, and is surrounded by saline white soil, which can occasionally be seen condensed into ice-like layers of salt, but it is inedible because of its poison.
On Qingyang's journey, carefully observe every place, this will be his future home.
The land of Yanze, about seventeen or eighteen miles wide, passed in an instant, and the terrain rose again.
Further on, you will enter the splendid mountain forest.
Everywhere you look, the giant trees are towering, the vines are hanging, the large red leaves are falling, and the ground seems to be covered with a red carpet.
An avenue, about a foot wide, under the red leaves, the bluestone is mottled, tracing along the stream, with a unique artistic conception.
A group of teenagers, new to the Qing family, are full of curiosity about their surroundings.
In the mountains and forests, there are beast shadows flashing from time to time, small beasts on the big trees are curiously staring at pedestrians, on the side of the stone road, the stream is murmuring, the spring is flowing on the stone, the swimming fish is clearly visible, and the bow is extremely sweet.
Zhong Bo was very concerned about these teenagers, and he proudly introduced: "My Qing clan is located in the mountains and forests, although the land is remote, but it enjoys the convenience of mountain stream irrigation, and there is no worry about water and drought.
If you join the Qing clan and work hard every day, the lord will definitely treat you well, if you are successful in cultivation, the position of a retainer is also expected!"
These teenagers, who were in Beilin City earlier, even if they were taken care of by Lie Muyang, still ate and slept in the open from time to time.
Since joining the Qing clan, he has begun to eat a full meal every day, and along the way, he has seen the power of Qingyang's elimination of the Red Ghost Law Body.
At this time, they were overjoyed when they heard this, not to mention that their leading eldest brother, Lie Muyang, had joined the Qing clan, and his eyes were full of longing.
Ziche Yanxi also spoke: "The Qing clan is rich in land, and I have heard of it for a long time. However, the mountains and forests here are adjacent to the barren jungle, and there are many strange beasts and fierce birds, so I am afraid that it will be disturbed day and night, and it will be annoying!"
"Hehe, there is Lord Dragon Sparrow, who dares to come to seek death in the sealed land?
"Uncle Zhong, my lord, you're finally back, it's a big deal!"
The loud voice, coming from a distance, was the voice of a teenager.
A tall, athletic, dark-skinned teenager rushed in.
Surprisingly, he was carrying two wheeled giant axes in his hands, more than two feet in diameter, with dark blades, shining with a faint luster, showing its sharpness.
According to Zhihai's memory, this burly teenager is the eldest son of the nurse Qiu Niang, only fourteen and a half years old, only less than ten days older than himself, and is the closest playmate since childhood.
"Lian Po, why are you so alarmed?"
Zhong Bo, as the head of the Qing family, immediately greeted him.
The swarthy young man saluted Qingyang first, and then said to Zhong Bo in a loud voice: "Uncle Zhong has an accident, the autumn harvest is approaching in the past few days, and the Ji family took advantage of the fact that Uncle Zhong and the lord did not return in autumn, and actually encouraged the farmers to resign!"
"These bastards!" Zhong Bo roared with rage.
"Huh?"
Qingyang's voice was cold, but he didn't expect that Ji's dependence on Fei's was not only not restrained now, but even more rampant.
Yang Hu was more excited than Qing Yang, he waved his halberd, and said angrily: "The weight of the autumn harvest is worse than the battle, the Ji clan dares to do this, let me teach him a lesson!"
Ziche Yanxi also said angrily: "Ji's behavior is indispensable to the instigation of Doctor Fei, and when I return to the city, it is indispensable to report to the city lord and city captain!"
Qingyang nodded to the two of them and said, "Thank you both, but this matter is related to the glory of my Qing clan, and the Ji clan behaves like this, if my Qing clan doesn't teach a lesson, how can people look at it?"
After that, he asked Lian Po: "Where is the Ji family? I want to see where the Ji family's courage comes from!"
This time, no matter what, we have to teach Ji a hard lesson.
First of all, it is necessary to stabilize the hearts of the Qing clan leaders, especially the newly joined Lie Muyang and the group of teenagers, to give them enough security.
Secondly, Yang Hu and Ziche Yanxi led more than a hundred people to come, and tolerating in front of so many people would only make people look down on the existence of the Qing clan.
In the end, Qingyang turned against the Fei family in Beilin City, and the day before yesterday because of Su Kuo's incident, he had a dislike with Dr. Cheng's faction, and he had to take a tough attitude to repel the temptation of Dr. Fei's faction.
A strong and tough Qing clan can make people jealous, and then protect the safety of the Qing clan.
A detour through the mountains and forests, bypassing a forest, suddenly opens up in front of you.
Qing's fiefdom is located in a small mountain basin.
Hundreds of zhang away, the well field is full of grain, and in the barn field, the grain grass is like a mountain.
It was last autumn's harvest, and the remaining grain grass.
At this time, in the barnyard, more than a dozen farmers in tattered clothes were surrounding a brightly dressed and handsome eighteen-year-old young man, eagerly talking something.
The peasants all had flattering smiles on their faces, clearly currying favor with the young man, and seven other peasants stood a few feet away, forming another circle, seemingly arguing with each other.
On the outskirts of the grain field were a group of shirtless slaves who wore only bark shorts and stained faces.
There were eighteen of them, and they hid in fear beside a few piles of grain stacks more than a dozen zhang away, envious of everyone in the field but did not dare to approach, and they looked particularly afraid of the strange young man in the grain field.
"Corporal Jidan promised great goodness like this~ I will say goodbye to the master's family today~"
There was a faint phrase from the crowd.
