Chapter 7 When the world is swept away
Relying on the mountain town, relying on the mountain town, relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, don't look at Xiaojia Town is about seven miles away, but it is a completely different scenery.
There are only a few small hills around Xiaojia Town, and when they get to the backing town, because they are close to the Goddess Peak, the location where it is located has already entered the mountains around the Goddess Peak. The steep Goddess Peak and the mountains provide rich mountain goods, medicinal materials, rare animals, and even jade, which are all very precious things.
Of course, as the main force rooted in Haizhou, and also related to the Xiao family, there must be a lot of wealth from private salt.
Another point that must be mentioned is that the backer town is also surnamed Xiao, and the blood relationship is somewhat close to Xiaojia Town, and the two sides also intermarry each other. It is said that six generations have been pushed up, and the founders of the two families are brothers. Of course, for any family, six generations is far enough to be told as a story. At least, in Xiao Hao's heart, he didn't have any special feelings about this mansion, just like a stranger.
The mansion in the mountain town, or the unpleasant one, is built on a mountainside with a good landscape environment, and the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The name of a small cottage is: Tiger Roaring Village! It means that the tiger is standing on the majestic mountain and the tiger descending the mountain; it can be seen how the terrain is dangerous; in front of the door is almost a steep slope of 3o degrees, which is not considered to delay life, but it is enough to cause great trouble to the attackers. Of course, it can also be seen from the name that the people who established Tiger Roar Village back then also had a little culture.
Today, Tiger Roaring Village is the de facto ruler of the town, similar to the Xiao family's status in the town. However, Xiaojia Town has changed a lot over the years because of a Xiao Hao, and there are still some bandits in Tiger Roar Village. Occasionally, when you meet a peer, you have to prick your lips - this thing, sometimes it is a bully, sometimes it is cautious, and there is a big deal. Of course, Xiao Hao can be said to have six out of seven tricks for this thing, so don't talk about it.
A group of 21 people, riding horses, rumbled straight to the cottage; Xiao Hao took the lead, and the 2o people behind were in two rows, and the yellow smoke under his feet was filled, like a soil dragon rushing, and the uphill road couldn't stop much for a while.
Such a situation has certainly attracted the attention of Tiger Roaring Village. Soon, more than 30 majestic men lined up on the wall, all of them bowed, and in this place of Haizhou, everyone was simply unscrupulous. However, individual forces can also involve the families within the Great Separation Palace, so the nerves must be tense at all times.
A strong man wearing short-sleeved clothes on a cold day stood up first, with a lot of scars all over his body, and he looked like a fierce general, "Stop, the bud (young man) in front, report a million children!"
The 21 people were in unison, and they stopped at a relatively safe distance - about 5o meters. This neat and uniform action made the big man's eyes narrow, so elite, Tiger Roar Village doesn't have it!
"Speak people!" Xiao Hao is not very old, but his courage at the moment is not small, since he was three years old, he has been trained by his father and brothers, and his living environment since he was a child has also been greatly affected. At least now, directly at the forefront.
"Ha, the new gangplank!, little cub, what the hell, this isn't your stinking doll. Also, there is no life on the road, and it is not something that you can mix with this doll with fine skin and tender flesh. As soon as he heard that Xiao Hao couldn't understand the lip dictionary, the big man shook, and his yellow teeth wanted to compete with the rising sun.
Faced with such a situation, Xiao Hao took one action and smiled coldly, "Look at the bow!"
Then, Xiao Hao took off the longbow from the saddle and hung the letter directly on the arrow, aiming at the big man is an arrow!
The bow and arrow used by Xiao Hao are different from the bow and arrow outside, the pulley is not so exaggerated, but the design and material of the bow arm are different, the bow is an iron tire, and there are wave patterns on it, and the bow arm is more than half longer than the ordinary bow, almost close to the current Xiao Hao height.
Such an excellent longbow, coupled with Xiao Hao's training of martial arts since he was a child, is a sufficient amount of power to shoot an arrow. A stone bow costs almost 12o catties, which is enough to be regarded as a strong man among ordinary people - don't forget, as far as ordinary civilians in the feudal era were concerned, they couldn't eat enough, and their bodies were as good as they could imagine. (For ease of understanding, the catty here uses the modern unit of measurement, for reference only.) In the future, the unit will also try to take the modern unit of measurement, etc., and will not be prompted again. )
Therefore, this arrow was sharp and fast, almost not slanted, and rushed straight towards the big man.
In Haizhou, if you want to walk the aisle, you have to rely on your guts, and there is nothing to compromise; if you feel that you are not bold enough, don't come out to mix, otherwise you can only die earlier. Although Haizhou is not big, it is really a den of bandits - of course, it is biased to say this, but this environment is really like this.
So, sometimes when you don't agree with a word, it's not about reasoning, it's about fists!
"Bang!" The big man in front of him took a big knife and directly blocked the bow and arrow. They have all been tested by life and death for a long time, and they know very well how to face such an arrow. The long knife was horizontal, and the arrow was accurately blocked, and then the arrow was held in his hand as soon as he grabbed it. Of course, this is also forced, and everyone on the road is just like this! If you are not skilled, you will not only lose face, but you may also lose your life!
Unfolding the letter, the big man glanced at it a few times, raised his head and snorted, "Wait!"
As soon as he saw that it was from the Xiao family, the big man's face became weird. In fact, the Xiao family has made refined salt over the years, and Huxiao Village has also taken advantage of this to benefit the city; the Xiao family is only responsible for production, and a little is directly sold; most of them are engaged in batching. This is also Xiao Hao's idea, small profits but quick turnover, and share the danger in the whole Haizhou, and also pull up a group of friends.
Now let's see if these friends are reliable, and Tiger Roaring Village is still related to Xiaojia Town from blood, many people in it have met, Xiao Hao has to call uncle and so on; anyway, it's just a courtesy.
Soon, the door opened.
"Let's go!" Xiao Hao took the lead in dismounting and leading the horse inside. At this time, if you enter the door on a horse, it is definitely a sign of aggression. Of course, although they dismounted, each guard carried a bow, arrows, and knives with them. It's basic that the weapon doesn't leave you, and under normal circumstances, you don't let the guest unload.
Counting Xiao Hao, there were 2o people who entered the door, and there was another person who did not enter the door, but rode on a horse and watched from a distance. This is a necessary caution.
After entering the gate, hundreds of people with various weapons stood around to stand guard. Xiao Hao took the lead in giving the reins to the big man at the door, that is, the big man just now.
"Boy!" Dahan's face was stunned, and he was about to get angry. Leading the horse, this is something that the little minions do, not a "leader" like Dahan. It's an insult that you gave me the reins of your horse!
"What's the matter!" Xiao Hao looked straight at the strong man in front of him, who was a circle larger than him in height and width, and did not flinch, and the long knife at his waist was already half unsheathed.
The choking sound of the knife rubbing against the scabbard was unusually harsh.
As soon as you enter the door, you will overwhelm the other party in momentum! At a young age, you also have the courage of a warrior.
"Haha, nephew Xiao Haoxian, I've come to see my uncle, come in. Eventually, a man of about twenty-five or sixteen looked like a man in the front room, with a wisp of beard on his chin, and he looked a little dashing.
"Xiao Hao has seen the third uncle. Xiao Hao fixed the long knife, walked a few steps, and bowed his waist, but this person's information flashed in his heart.
Xiao Renhai, the second head of Huxiao Village, his father Xiao Shijian is the big boss; in terms of generation, Xiao Renhai and Xiao Hao's father Xiao Shilong are of the same generation, so when they meet Xiao Hao, they want to call uncle. This person is quite wise, although he is from a poor family, but when he was young, he had the opportunity to spend money to study in the official school for more than ten years, and he is the pride of the backing town.
And this person Xiao Renhai was also angry, and his grades were outstanding in his class that year, but after he was 2o years old, that is, five or six years ago, he resolutely went home. What has been experienced is unknown to outsiders, and for all its things, outsiders do not know. But I know that in recent years, this person has made Tiger Roar Village a lot bigger with the help of the refined salt of Xiaojia Town and the topography of Haizhou.
However, perhaps because he is much smarter, Xiao Shilong does not treat his cheap distant relative. Anyway, there are still some contradictions between the two branches of the Xiao family - but it seems that there is no contradiction within the family! This has been the case since ancient times, and you can't ask for anything.
Of course, Xiao Hao didn't have a good impression of his cheap uncle today, and he was really too smart. Xiao Hao lives in the era of the information explosion, and the situation just now can be understood after a little consideration; that big man pretends to be blackfaced, and Xiao Renhai is probably going to pretend to be white; but he didn't expect that Xiao Hao is a big ghost, and he doesn't leak a drop of water when he does things, and he is not small at a young age, and his edge is half-exposed, but he is already cold; seeing that the big man can't stop it, he has to turn out from behind the door.
Xiao Hao sneered in his heart, these little tricks of yours are all left over from other people's play, it's really boring.
"Come, let's go all the way, go and sit inside. Xiao Renhai held Xiao Hao's hand very intimately, not to mention that cordiality.
Han Sheng and Zhang Yun pressed the handle of the knife with their hands and followed closely behind Xiao Hao, not leaving the left and right. The rest of the people stood with the horses. Everyone's eyes are shining, and when you get to someone else's territory, you really have to keep your eyes open.
The three of them entered the back room, and now there were already many people sitting inside, and according to the seats, Xiao Hao could accurately guess the two of them.
The first one, who looks like he is in his forties, is, of course, the big boss of Tiger Roaring Village, Xiao Renhai's father, Xiao Shijian. There is an empty act below, which should be Xiao Renhai's; the third is a person with a resolute complexion, who looks like he is more than 3o years old, with a short chin and a hideous beard, this is Xiao Renhai's brother-in-law and the third master: Liu Boshan.
Xiao Hao didn't sit down, after all, it was the elders who were present, so he stepped forward to salute them one by one, and the etiquette was still more elaborate in a similar feudal environment.
Then Xiao Hao took the initiative to speak, relying on his young age: "Fifth grandfather, Xiao Hao won't say much about this time, I came this time to borrow someone." ”
"Say!" Liu Boshan spoke first, his face was not good, and his expression was arrogant.
Facing the elders, Xiao Hao couldn't say anything, but he didn't look at Liu Boshan, and directly faced Xiao Shijian, "Fifth grandfather, my father analyzed it this morning, Haizhou is not big, and the terrain is warped in the northwest and sunken in the southeast, we can dig the Youlong River in the northwest direction, and there will be enough water to irrigate the entire Haizhou, ensuring that there is no need to worry about disasters and famines in Haizhou for thousands of years in the future."
This time the matter is facing the whole of Haizhou, and we should unite and get through the difficulties together!"
"Huh?" Xiao Shijian didn't say anything, Xiao Renhai snorted lightly, and Liu Boshan spoke directly, Xiao Hao didn't look at him just now, which made him feel very shameless.
"Xiao Hao, right," Liu Boshan and Xiao Hao are not related by blood, and they speak unceremoniously, "You go back and tell Xiao Shilong, this matter is obviously provoked by your Xiao family and the Li family, and you can solve it yourself."
The entire 30,000 households in Haizhou are looking at you two!"
As soon as he heard this, Xiao Hao's first thought was to go up and beat this bastard, but Xiao Hao didn't make any action at the moment, held back his anger, squinted at Xiao Shijian and Xiao Renhai, and looked at the two of them who didn't care, and instantly understood the attitude of Tiger Roaring Village.
But after all, he is young and vigorous!
Suddenly turned his head and looked at Liu Boshan: "I heard that there is a difference between the top and bottom, Uncle Liu, I don't understand, why the fifth grandfather hasn't spoken yet, you just spoke first! Are you the big boss!"
"Don't think that you two can kill the prime minister by your words, but you are not suitable here!" Liu Boshan was like a volcano that exploded in an instant. Xiao Hao's words just now were quite vicious, so he almost pointed at his nose and scolded: Do you understand the truth of being a man!
In fact, Xiao Hao's words are really inconsiderate, after all, everyone has not torn their faces - at least the big boss has nothing to say.
However, if you are wrong, you are wrong, and Xiao Hao, who is angry, has no remorse; some people are cheap, if you don't beat him, he will be hypocritical.
"Oh, Uncle Liu even knew that the prime minister was killed and the Lu family was expelled because our Xiao family combined with the Li family. Although Xiao Hao's tone was normal, it stopped in Liu Boshan's ears, but it had a taste of irony.
"Hmph, it's not that the two of you are troublesome, how can there be the current situation. In today's situation, you two must be fully responsible!" Liu Boshan's tone could be described as sonorous and powerful.
However, Xiao Hao didn't play his cards as usual, and turned his head to Xiao Shijian, "Fifth grandfather, do you think so too?"
"What......" Xiao Shijian didn't expect Xiao Hao to be so "cunning", and directly aimed the spearhead at himself, without any preparation, but after all, it was at the level of an old fox, and he had an idea in the blink of an eye, "Xiao Hao, I haven't eaten yet, how about resting here first?"
This sentence was ingenious, and in an instant, all the tension in front of it was erased, and of course, it also erased the small advantage that Xiao Hao had just achieved.
"I'm sorry Fifth Grandpa, the kid wants to rest, but the crops in the field can't rest. We must do our best to open a canal to divert water!
I just want to ask, Fifth Grandpa, do you also think that this incident is a problem for our Xiao family and Li family!"
For these procrastination tricks, Xiao Hao directly crushed, and the mud is thin? I'm sorry, I don't have time to argue with you! This matter must be handled as much as possible, otherwise it will cause unimaginable blows to the Xiao family and the Li family.
Therefore, going straight to the other party's routine at all directly makes things-for-tat and sharp confrontation. And let Xiao Hao's momentum gain the upper hand for a while.
"Boy, is this your attitude towards the elders!" Liu Boshan once again put on a black face.
Xiao Hao raised his head, "I am here on behalf of 30,000 households!"
Liu Boshan: "Okay, at a young age, he has sharp teeth. ”
Xiao Hao arched his hand, "Thank you for the compliment." ”
"Hehe......" Liu Boshan laughed angrily, he had never encountered such a difficult one, "The hour is smart, and the big may not be good." ”
Liu Boshan really had nothing to say for a while, and directly began to scold.
As soon as this sentence came out, even Xiao Shijian and Xiao Renhai frowned. And Han Sheng and Zhang Yun behind Xiao Hao were even more angry, and the hands holding the handle of the knife were bruised.
It's not just cursing, it's cursing. Of course, such a curse is meaningless, but it is disgusting and not human.
Xiao Hao suddenly smiled, looking Liu Boshan up and down, as if looking at a fool. Of course, the other party is an elder, and Xiao Hao can't scold directly, but it's not that he can't fight back.
In an instant, a smile bloomed on Xiao Hao's face, as if he had encountered a happy event, he first tidied up his clothes, and then sternly arched his hand, "Uncle Liu, you must have been very smart when you were a child." ”
"Poof......" This time, even Xiao Shijian couldn't help it. This counterattack is really sharp, especially Xiao Hao's serious appearance, which is even more funny.
However, Xiao Hao didn't let it go, "Uncle Liu, since you are so smart, then can you analyze why our Xiao family and the Li family want to join forces to eradicate the prime minister!"
"This ......" faced with Xiao Hao's insistence on Qingshan's unrelenting spirit, the one, two, and three masters were all poor for a while.
Even Xiao Shijian was a little annoyed, boy, you take it easy, don't get an inch! Everyone was a little annoyed by Xiao Hao's attitude of "not knowing what to do". In fact, the matter has come to the present, which is enough to show the attitude of Tiger Roaring Village.
If it were an ordinary person, at most he would have said a few harsh words now, and then turn around and leave. But Xiao Hao is not, not only is he young and vigorous, but he can't see this phenomenon, what he hated most when he looked at history back then was this kind of person, he was simply a thief!
"Uncle Liu, the tea I've been waiting for is cold!" Xiao Hao sneered at the corner of his mouth.
Since they came in, they haven't sat down! Of course, there is no tea! This is a sarcasm that kills two birds with one stone! And of course, it is to laugh at the fact that the three of them dare not speak at this moment.
"Ahem," at this time, it could only be Liu Boshan who spoke, "Boy, it doesn't matter how things go anymore, what matters is to solve the current problem." ”
"Uncle Liu, you haven't answered the kid's question yet. Don't you even bother to answer my child's words?" The sneer on the corner of Xiao Hao's mouth could almost freeze! Don't you want to carry the black pot for others, okay, I'll let you carry enough!
In the eyes of the average person, there is no cooperation here, of course, it is leaving.
But Xiao Hao thinks that since he is already uncooperative, he will be offended to death, so that there is absolutely a reason not to be soft in the future! The reason why he dares to do this is also because Xiao Hao is confident that his strength is strong enough!
"Joke, why should I answer your question!" Liu Boshan's face was no longer dark, but dark red, and he was one line away from being annoyed and angry!
"Why!" Xiao Hao suddenly took a step forward, only five steps away from Liu Boshan, and they could see the reflection of the pupils in each other's eyes, "Why?
When the prime minister wanted to seize the fortune of the royal court, when Haizhou was facing the slaughter of the imperial court, and when 30,000 families were in danger of being displaced, it was we who stood up!
When you were looking for and preparing to run away in a panic, it was our Xiao family in Xiaojia Town and the Li family in Lijia Town who jointly made a plan to avoid the disaster in Haizhou!
Where are you at this time!
Even if there is a natural disaster now, at least you still have a chance to escape. Who gave you this opportunity!
Third uncle, I heard that when you were studying, Kong's classics ranked first. Dare to ask the third uncle to make an evaluation of this matter. ”
Xiao Hao's last words changed, but they turned to Xiao Renhai, who had always felt good about himself.
Sure enough, Liu Boshan breathed a sigh of relief for a while, and Xiao Renhai suddenly lifted his heart.
"Xiao Hao, I understand your anger. But we really can't help with this. In the face of a young man's step-by-step approach, the three adults could only smile bitterly, and in the end, Xiao Renhai couldn't stop it, so he could only smile bitterly at the showdown.
"Oh, third uncle, if there is something to say, let the kid refer to it. Just now Uncle Liu also said that I am smart and clever, I think a little bit of Xiaojian can still help the third uncle a little. Xiao Hao said this, and did not forget to bring Liu Boshan next to him.
"Click!" Liu Boshan angrily grabbed the armrest of the seat.
However, Xiao Hao seemed to be deaf to it and looked directly at Xiao Renhai.
"It's inconvenient to disclose this matter. Xiao Renhai once again regained that faint chic.
"No, right!" Now that everyone is about to tear their faces, Xiao Hao's tone is becoming more and more presumptuous. If you are worthy of respect, if you are not worthy of respect, then you have to be slapped in the face!
At this moment, Xiao Renhai suddenly stiffened, this is angry! Of course, it is also because of Xiao Hao's indomitable attitude, which makes everyone a little unbearable. In the general opinion, after everyone expresses a non-cooperative attitude, everyone will laugh and retreat;
Xiao Hao's behavior was simply kicking his nose and face, and he was naked, undisguised, and-for-tat! It made the three of them feel that this was not a negotiation, but a negotiation and a battle! And it was the kind that left no way back!
Seeing that things were going to stiffen, Liu Boshan had to jump out hard: "Boy, it's almost, do you treat your elders like this!"
Liu Boshan swore that he had never been so aggrieved, and in the face of a child, he actually felt powerless!
"Is it?" Xiao Hao's teeth were exposed, "It's because you are elders, and the kid came to the elders when he was in trouble." ”
At this time, even Xiao Shijian, who was sitting in the innermost, was already trembling, and he didn't know whether it was angry or unbearable "excitement".
"We can't help you here, let's go!" Finally, Liu Boshan's donkey skills were poor, so he could only expel him directly.
"Hey, today can be regarded as seeing the faces of you people!" Xiao Hao looked around, his head raised, and the disdain in his eyes made Xiao Shijian look away.
"There is a way that the road is uneven, and there are people shoveling, and the world is uneven, and some people sweep it! One day, I will sweep the world's uneven things!" Inexplicably, Xiao Hao's heart suddenly burst with pride. At this moment, Xiao Hao seemed to see his goal and found his life direction. The world seemed to be swept away, and it only felt as if there was a mist in front of me.
"Sweep the world?" Liu Boshan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Boy, you can deal with the current trouble first."
Hey, if you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world!"
If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world! This sentence seemed to turn into Hong Zhong Dalu, roaring in the depths of Xiao Hao's mind...... Roar......
An inexplicable determination, direction, and understanding have been determined.
Suddenly, the book of heaven in Xiao Hao's mind came out of a hazy light, the cover slowly opened, and a line of words slowly burned on the first page: If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world!
The font is strong, inexplicably touching people's hearts, making Xiao Hao have a determination to sweep the world.
Things happen very quickly, that is, in less than two seconds.
Xiao Hao reacted quickly, trying to hide the ecstasy in his heart with a look of ridicule, sneer, and disdain, and clasped his fists around, "Since you are not welcome here, take your leave!"
Shake it off.
Han Sheng and Zhang Yun followed closely behind, closely monitoring the surroundings.
"Daddy. Xiao Renhai suddenly looked at Xiao Shijian, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light.
"There's no need. Let's just sit back and wait for their demise, and don't bring hatred upon ourselves. Xiao Shijian didn't care at all.
In Xiao Shijian's opinion, this incident was enough to plunge the Xiao family in Xiao Family Town into the abyss of no return, and of course, the Li family, the in-laws, could not escape.
In fact, the Xiao family's control of the wealth of refined salt has already made too many people red, and obviously, Tiger Roaring Village is also red.
"Dad, why don't you just put forward the terms of negotiation? Xiao Renhai was puzzled. Next to him, Liu Boshan was the same, and the two looked at Xiao Shijian together.
Xiao Shijian's eyes narrowed, "If we negotiate, we must help the Xiao family tide over the difficulties." If we are allowed to contribute people and wealth, we will still not be able to avoid defeat in the end. Hmph, is it really that easy to open a river to get water?
And now, we're here to watch them fall. In the end, as long as we finally make a move as the Xiao family's bloodline, all of their qiē are ours, and we don't have to pay anything!
When the time comes, we will be able to fully grasp the method of making refined salt.
After that, we will dedicate the method of making refined salt to Gyeongju Bo, and our family will be able to obtain the status of a nobleman!
Ren Hai, keep in touch with you over there, is there any problem now?"
Xiao Renhai nodded confidently and said with a smile: "Don't worry, father, there is no problem, and it can allow you to obtain the title of third-class viscount, let me get a first-class baron, Boshan get a third-class baron, and the rest will be rewarded."
After all, compared to rewarding us with titles, everyone can see the profits of refined salt. Moreover, Gyeongju is just south of Haeju and is also the coastal state capital, and salt profit is one of their main incomes.
Moreover, the refined salt of the Xiao family had already affected their interests strictly. ”
If Xiao Hao heard these words here, he would definitely be dumbfounded. The co-authors not only have to watch the defeat of the Xiao family ruthlessly, but also have to exclusively obtain the Xiao family's method of making refined salt, and then they must pass the method of offering refined salt to obtain the status of the scholar family!
And Xiao Renhai went home inexplicably, there are really some reasons, and it is no wonder that the tiger roars and is silent.
This can also explain why people don't care about the life and death of 30,000 households in Haizhou, and they have already taken refuge in Gyeongjubo!
And you can also be crowned a nobleman!
Eat inside and out, but that's it!
Dongsheng Shenzhou is now a feudal system, that is, the rule of the royal road; in the Dali royal court, there are a total of 9 states, except for the central state and the central state of the Dali royal court, the rest are divided into feuds. The title of ruling a state is "Bo", and the title of Bo is divided into two titles in his own fiefdom, son and man.
In Dongsheng, now the social status is king, duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male. Among them, there is no need to mention kings, such as the Great Departure King. And the three titles of dukes and earls are nobles, which are suitable for the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou, that is to say, once you leave the original country, you are still noble. The two titles, son and man, belong to the noble clan, and only have noble rights in the country where they are located;
Of course, after all, the Dali royal court is a small and medium-sized country, and in addition to the king, the highest can only be crowned, and only large countries are qualified to be marquis, and even "duke".
But even so, the scholars are also small nobles, which is enough to make Tiger Roar Village ignore their conscience.
Aristocrats and commoners were very different social hierarchies. Not to mention, the people of Haizhou are called "bandits" outside!
Of course, the above is only a source of aristocracy, in fact, society is still colorful.
That's it for today.
