It was almost dusk, and the outer courtyard of the Yang Mansion became lively again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yang Dashan and Yang Dahai brought dozens of men, women and children of different ages to Yang Tianhong.

Only about 20 people, Yang Tianhong, can be named. Yang Tong, Yang Yuan, Yang Cheng, Yang Yi...... They are all veterans of the guards that their father left in the mansion back then. In order to control the Yang Mansion, Xu and Yang Liansheng completely set aside the young Yang Tianhong, and drove all these people out under various pretexts.

There were as many as 100 veterans of the guards who stayed in the mansion back then. Most of them had been wounded on the battlefield, and the late hussar general had taken them in for care and to leave a loyal servant for his family. After being kicked out of Yang's mansion, these veterans had nothing to live on, and many of them died of illness and starvation. Standing in front of Yang Tianhong, these are already skinny and skinny, with vegetables on their faces.

The rest are the wives and children of the veterans. They were also ragged and thin-skinned.

Yang Tianhong didn't have the slightest master's shelf, he walked in front of everyone, held their hands, and asked for warmth.

"Uncle Yang Cheng, is this your son? ”

"Uncle Yang Tong, don't leave when you come back this time. It's spacious enough for all of you. ”

"Uncle Yang Yuan, do you remember me? When you were a child, you often lifted me high and put me on your shoulders. Your beard was so hard that it hurt me. ”

This extremely friendly approach gradually dispelled people's concerns. Especially after the pots of steaming meals were brought out, these veterans who had been out for a long time finally believed that Yang Tianhong was indeed no longer the bullied child he was back then, he had grown up and had enough ability to control the Yang Mansion.

Several veterans who couldn't help themselves hugged Yang Tianhong and cried.

It's hard for outsiders to understand this feeling.

The veterans swore an oath to follow the hussar general to the death. Yang Tianhong is the general's son-in-law, that is, the young master who must be delivered with his life.

However, at that time, the young master was young and ignorant. In the face of the oppression of Yang Liansheng and the Xu family, the veterans also struggled, but they were always unable to do more because of their status as domestic slaves. After all, Yang Liansheng is Yang Tianhong's uncle, and Xu is the wife of the hussar general. After all, they are the masters of the Yang Mansion.

Yang Tianhong comforted the veterans with warm words, and at the corner of his eye, he glanced at the few family members who were standing in the corridor leading to the inner house in the distance, and probed his brain into the several family members who were watching here.

Those people were all subordinates arranged by the Xu family.

The movement he made in the outer courtyard was too big.

Kill the maid Mei Xiang, kill the martial servant Shen Xing, and fight with the foundation monk Shen Changyou...... All this can't escape Xu's ears and eyes. The Xu family is shrewd, and as soon as Jindan Grandmaster Chen Zhengjian appeared, he should know that he had occupied an absolute advantage.

Thinking of this, a satisfied smile flashed in the depths of Yang Tianhong's eyes.

Although he has mastered the secret of the Linglong Treasure Lock, the world is very big, and he is alone when he fights alone, and he seems to be alone after all. In any case, it is important to build your own team as soon as possible. These loyal veterans are the best gift left to him by his late father. The "Linglong Secret Record" records many pills and complete pill refining methods. As long as you learn and use it skillfully, you can use a large number of pills to catalyze a group of powerful monk armies.

The change in the loyalty of Yang Dashan and Yang Dahai became the lock cylinder to open the "Demon No. 1 Prison Cell".

In order to open the closed door on the wall of the cell, a new cylinder is required.

According to the annotation on the "Linglong Secret Record", the lock cylinder is formed with loyalty, and the new multiple is in the unit of "hundred".

It is not difficult to make these veterans and their families die for themselves. The Yang family has a large grange outside the city. He will soon follow his master back to the sect, in order to prevent the Xu family from getting in the way, Yang Tianhong simply handed over the title deed of the grange to Yang Dashan and asked him to be responsible for distributing it to the veterans.

Now there is only one problem left -- the total number of veterans and their families is only eighty-two. Of the hundred loyalists needed to open the second cylinder, eighteen were missing.

......

Yang's inner house.

"Bang

The delicate porcelain tea bowl slammed down from the air and fell to the ground, turning into countless pieces with a crisp crackling sound.

Looking at the black-clothed servant who had just returned from the outer courtyard and was in charge of listening to the news, Xu's carefully maintained face quickly showed a look of surprise and anger and disbelief.

"What did you say? That little bastard sold the Grange outside the city?"

The servant was a slender man, and he sensed that Xu's body was filled with gunpowder-like anger that could explode at any time, and he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to move, his body almost lay on the ground, and he trembled and said, "No, it's not for sale." Young Master Tianhong just took the title deed of the grange to the government for the record, and gave it to those veterans to become their personal private property. ”

What's the difference between that and selling?

No, it's not even better than selling.

If you sell it, you can at least get back the money.

Now, I can't even get back a copper plate, and I have done a favor in vain.

That's more than 400 acres of good watered land, worth at least a thousand taels of silver.

Thinking of this, Xu felt a pain in his flesh. She had been thinking about how she could increase the income of the grange, or whether she would have to increase the rent on the tenants this year.

Now, it's all in vain.

Why did you marry the hussar general Yang Jing in the first place?

Isn't it just that he has taken a fancy to his outstanding military achievements and has the title of Marquis of Bravery.

Everyone likes to be an official, and women are no exception.

According to the regulations of the Great Chu Dynasty, only the honorable and noble original match can be given the rank of command.

Xu is the wife of a hussar general, and only after his own Yang Wenjia or Yang Wenyao ascends to the knighthood can he enjoy the title of his son.

Yang Tianhong asked for a knighthood and completely cut off Xu's thoughts.

Now, he didn't even want the grange outside the city.

No power, no money, what does this little bastard want to do?

Could it really be a cultivation that gives up everything and has no distractions?

Thinking of this, the anger in Xu's heart suddenly extinguished, and it suddenly turned into great fear.

Mei Xiang died.

Shen Xing also died.

and the Taoist who came to seek revenge was also seriously injured by Yang Tianhong, and then fled.

It's no wonder that he now has a strong master at the level of Jindan, and he is naturally unscrupulous in doing things.

But what about the future?

If Yang Tianhong succeeds in cultivation and returns to this home, how should he deal with himself as the head mother of the Yang Mansion?

After all, this is a world where men are inferior to women. As the eldest son in the family, he has the right to decide everything.

Yang Tianhong is not an ordinary person. An eleven-year-old doll dared to play against the emperor alone, asked for a knighthood, and was willing to give up her family property to attract more supporters...... If he wasn't familiar with the inside story, Xu would probably be the same as those people outside, who didn't believe that Yang Tianhong was only eleven years old at all.

Thinking of this, the resentment and hatred in Xu's eyes deepened.

If he had been ruthless at the time, at the age of five, six, or earlier, Yang Tianhong would not have grown into the troubles that are difficult to clean up today.

It's really ridiculous, I still fantasized that while getting the identity of the Marquis of Yiyong from the dead Yang Tianhong, I could use tricks on Yang Liansheng and his son, forcing them to take the initiative to give up the Lord of Houshan. In this way, his two sons have become Da Chu Xungui.

Just when Xu's mind was filled with strong fear and all kinds of chaotic thoughts, a personal maid gently walked over, approached Xu's ear, and whispered in a voice that only two people could hear: "Madam, there is a Taoist priest outside who asks to see you." ”

Xu Shi turned his head, a little surprised, and subconsciously asked, "Daoist?"

The maid nodded cautiously: "He asked me to tell Madame that he and Madame have the same purpose as you, both to deal with Young Master Tianhong." ”

......

Looking at Shen Changyou, who was sitting in the guest seat, a trace of disdain flashed in Xu's eyes.

He had changed into a new robe, and his loose hair, though tied back tight, was covered with too much dust and sand. The wounds on the left arch of the brow and the right cheek were clearly visible, though they were only a few small cracks cut by the stone, and there were faint traces of blood oozing from them. There was also a large piece of bruise-purple flesh at the corner of the mouth. At first glance, it looks like you have a walnut in your mouth, and you can't swallow it or spit it out.

The Xu family had seen Shen Changyou before.

It was still when the martial servant Shen Xing was alive, and Shen Changyou appeared in the Xu family as his master. Now, Shen Changyou didn't see the slightest bone immortal wind on his body, and he didn't have the foundation building cultivator standing tall, only extremely nervous and cautious about the contempt and detachment of ordinary mortals. Even when he sat on the chair, he only dropped half of his buttocks, and his muscles were tense, and he was always on guard and in a state of fighting.

For ordinary people, the foundation building monk is undoubtedly an immortal-like existence.

However, Xu really couldn't find even the slightest bit of something related to the word "otherworldly" from Shen Changyou. He is like a bereaved dog that has been beaten, and his fear and vigilance have been so deeply rooted in his bone marrow that he must remain absolutely on guard at all times.

Xu couldn't help but have an extremely strange thought in his mind: Is this still an immortal with profound mana? Why does it look like a thief who has stolen something and fled in a hurry?

"Ma'am, I can't stay here long, let's make a long story short!"

Shen Changyou's vigilance is not unreasonable. Chen Zhengjian was sitting in the outer courtyard of the Yang Mansion, if it weren't for the "chaotic hidden talisman" given by the elders of the sect and specially used to hide the breath, Shen Changyou would definitely not dare to take the initiative to ask to see the Xu family.

Chen Zhengjian is a powerful Jindan Grandmaster, and this "chaotic hidden talisman" can't last long. Shen Changyou pinched the law decision in his right hand that was ready to flee at any time, his expression was nervous, and he said very quickly: "I know that you have two sons, and I also know that you have always wanted them to inherit the title of Marquis Yiyong. The biggest obstacle is Yang Tianhong. He killed my apprentice Shen Xing, such a blood feud, this way swears to revenge. We share a common goal. So, I'm going to make an exception and take your two sons as apprentices. ”

Although Xu was already mentally prepared, he was still taken aback by Shen Changyou's words, and subconsciously stood up from the chair and was suddenly moved.

For ordinary people, it is a great honor to be favored by monks and then accepted as apprentices.

Although there are also many cultivation secrets and law decisions in the world, when it comes to the mysteries of the exercises and the speed of cultivation, the wealthy families are not as good as the real immortal cultivation sects in any way. Even if a person in the royal family can cultivate to the realm of foundation building, it is already unfathomable. As for the primordial infant, distraction, Mahayana...... That kind of realm had never appeared in the mundane world, and it could only exist in the legendary cultivation sect.

The Xu family knew that Shen Changyou's mentorship was Haotianmen. It is said that it is a first-class sect with Mahayana masters in charge. His son can become a disciple of Haotian, once he has achieved cultivation, in the future, whether his status or strength, he will be equivalent to the marquis of the Great Chu Dynasty, or even higher.

Most of the immortals have eyes above the top, and when the two sons were very young, the Xu family used the power of the family to find a wise evangelist for their sons. However, the two sons had mediocre qualifications, and although several monks were invited to visit the door, no one was willing to accept them as disciples.

The monk is not a nursery teacher, and it is impossible to take care of everything about the apprentice's and peeing.

Apprentices, and only excellent seedlings with good qualifications. This is similar to the selection of students by prestigious schools every year.

Everyone has seen the super high admission rate of famous schools, so they are desperate to send their children to prestigious schools. In this way, the status of prestigious schools is also high, and students who apply for the examination are picky. It is precisely because of this practice of concentrating the best students that it ensures that prestigious schools are particularly special in terms of further education. If a prestigious school, like any other school, recruits all students from each other, everyone will soon find out that the so-called elite school is actually an ordinary school with high fees, arrogant attitude, and arrogance from teachers to principals, which makes people want to go up and smash it.

The same is true for monks.

Xu was accustomed to seeing the lofty faces of the monks who had been invited in the past, and suddenly a monk who built the foundation took the initiative to come out and said that he was willing to take his two sons as apprentices. Such a huge gap made Xu feel difficult to adapt for a while. It took a few minutes before he asked suspiciously, "You, what you said is true?"

Shen Changyou did not answer Xu's question directly. The muscles on his face twitched, and he gritted his teeth and roared: "I'm going to peel Yang Tianhong's skin and cramp, crush his bones and scatter ashes!"

Xu was a shrewd woman, and immediately understood the hidden meaning of Shen Changyou's words.

Although his two sons have no affection for Yang Tianhong, they are also the children of the late hussar general, and their surnames are Yang.

Planting hidden dangers within the opponent's family and suddenly making a move at the right time is indeed a very clever move.

Of course, the Xu family will never let their two biological sons risk their lives. But as long as Shen Changyou is willing to accept them, it means that his son has a chance to become an immortal.

As for revenge and the like...... The old lady is not a fool, even you are not the opponent of Yang Tianhong's Jindan master, how can I let my son stand out for you?

In any case, it's always good to agree to this kind of thing first.

Of course, Shen Changyou was clear about Xu's calculations. Of course, now is not the time to say that it is broken, and it is impossible to turn over all your hole cards.

Xu Shi was still a little uneasy, and asked quite cautiously: "Dare to ask Dao Chief, if it is just to avenge your apprentice Shen Xing, I'm afraid it will ......."

It is not uncommon for a master to avenge an apprentice. It's just that such an excuse is not enough to convince yourself. After all, the apprentice can be found again after he dies, and there is no need to face the strong enemy of the Jindan period, but he has put himself in.

Shen Changyou was silent for a moment, and his face full of hatred gradually revealed an expression of sadness, pain, and hatred.

"I have no children. Shen Xing...... It's my only nephew. In this life and this life, I will kill Yang Tianhong to avenge my blood. ”

......

Mingfeng Mountain is located in the north of the Great Chu Dynasty, the mountains are continuous, towering and undulating, within a radius of thousands of miles, are the sphere of influence of the Guiyuan Sect. However, the real core control area is an area of hundreds of miles with the main peak as the radius. It's just that the roads there are rugged, there are many fierce beasts and poisonous insects, and the Guiyuan Sect has set up a lot of phantom arrays near the passage, and ordinary people can't enter it without permission.

Chen Zhengjian seems to like the way of traveling by boat and car in the world. Of course, it may also be to take care of Yang Tianhong, a newly recruited apprentice. The two masters and apprentices, plus five specially selected veterans of the Yang family, walked on the road for more than a month, and saw the Guiyuanzong stone boundary monument located at the foot of Mingfeng Mountain from a distance.

The cultivation sect has a transcendent status. According to the regional division of the Great Chu Dynasty, it was located under the jurisdiction of Changming Mansion. However, from the state capital to the county government where it is located, no one dares to go to Fengming Mountain to find Gui Yuanzong to collect taxes. Even in the face of the common people of Dachu living in this area, the officials had to be cautious when collecting taxes, for fear of inadvertently angering the monks who were at ease on the mountain, and in the name of "punishing adultery and eliminating evil", they released flying swords to cut off their own good heads.

This kind of thing has always been a favorite thing for monks to see, and it has also been done frequently.

The phantom array on the periphery of Mingfeng Mountain couldn't help the fat man Chen Zhengjian. After leaving the illusion with Yang Tianhong and others and entering the mountain gate, Chen Zhengjian's happy expression like Maitreya Buddha along the way suddenly became cold and serious.

Looking at the empty mountain gate, Chen Zhengjian frowned and said to himself: "No matter how windy or rainy, there should be a sect disciple on duty here." What about them?"

The mountains and forests were filled with incomparably fresh air, and there was also a faint smell of blood wafting in the wind.

Chen Zhengjian and Yang Tianhong's faces changed color at the same time. Unable to help but say, Chen Zhengjian, who was fat, immediately rushed towards the sect on the mountain.

Yang Tianhong and the five guards followed closely and asked repeatedly: "Master, what happened?"

"I don't know. ”

Chen Zhengjian's eyes were full of anxiety, and he shook his head and replied: "Even the mountain gate is unattended, is there something wrong? Or is there a strong enemy invading?"
