In the west of Jiangzhou County, Jiannan Province, is the Yuluan Mountain, which passes through the Yuluan Valley with nine bends and eighteen bends, and is Tong'an County a hundred miles away, Tong'an County is not big, with a population of less than 30,000, but it has become an out-and-out strategic place because of guarding the mouth of the Yuluan Valley. As long as Tong'an County is captured, you can reach the west gate of Jiangzhou County from Yuluan Valley, but if the Jiangzhou defenders set up an ambush in the valley, it will definitely be a one-man pass.

Tong'an County is two or three hundred miles to the south, which is the southwest road, Yuzhou City, which is the territory of Pingxi Wang Yinquan.

Out of the Yuluan valley has not yet reached the county seat of Tong'an, there are several small villages on the side of the road, each village is only about 200 households, and the villagers have reclaimed some barren land at the foot of the mountain and planted some crops.

Hejia Village is one of them, half of the people in the village are surnamed He, and these villagers surnamed He are all an old ancestor in terms of ancestors. Of course, there are also some people with foreign surnames, such as Shi Tiezhu, who is a villager with a foreign surname, but the village style of Hejia Village is quite good, although there are many villagers with the surname He, they do not reject him because Shi Tiezhu is not surnamed He.

Shi Tiezhu used an axe, pickaxe and hoe to plow more than five acres of land in the east of the village, raised an old ox to plow the land, plus his wife Hu Ercui, and his son Shi Dabao and daughter Shi Cuihua helped to plant these lands. There are chickens and ducks at home, mulberry trees and silkworms, and life is barely passable.

Autumn came, Shi Tiezhu took Hu Ercui, Shi Dabao, and Shi Cuihua to cut wheat in the field, but when he looked up, he saw that Xiucai surnamed Tong was here again, and Tong Xiucai, who was dressed in a square scarf, squatted on the ground to watch them cut wheat. Shi Tiezhu has always looked down on these talents, he can't carry a burden on his shoulders, he can't carry a basket in his hands, he can't do business, he is not diligent, he doesn't divide grains, and he can't do anything except read and write and say some big words about peace and stability.

Tong Xiu is a short man, he doesn't like to talk much, maybe he just doesn't like to talk to Shi Tiezhu. Shi Tiezhu remembers, this goods came a few times in the summer, squatted on the ground and chatted with the villagers, asking how much corn can be produced by an acre of land, and when he heard that an acre of land can produce three or four stones of corn, he also folded his fingers and counted it, saying that there are about three or four hundred catties of grain, and the small amount of food is almost enough to eat for a year.

Shi Tiezhu remembered that he choked him at the time, "You talents, in addition to being able to write a few big characters, you can't even plant fields, I really don't know what you are for!"

As a result, Tong Xiucai rolled his eyes and looked at him, and said disdainfully: "What's the use of Xiucai? I don't kneel when I see the county master, do you dare not kneel? You peasant farming, I will be a Xiucai in the future, and I will be admitted to the Jinshi, and I will be the county and county guard, that is your parent official, I can make the decision for the villagers and elders on this land, and don't let people bully you casually! Shi Tiezhu, do you say that Xiucai is useless?"

Shi Tiezhu still had to fight, but he was killed by his daughter Shi

Cuihua pulled away, and Shi Cuihua said timidly: "Tong Xianggong, don't be like my father, my father is just an illiterate peasant, shallow vision, you can forgive him, he doesn't understand the affairs of you scholars! I heard the former village gentlemen say that you Xianggong are all scholars, and you are the stars ......in the sky."

Tong Xiucai smiled wryly, smacked his mouth, and deliberately angered Shi Tiezhu, "Shi Tiezhu, you see that you are not as good as your daughter's vision! Your girl is not only good-looking, but also has better eyes than you, you say that you have crooked melons and cracked dates, how can you give birth to such a beautiful girl? It is said that one side of the water and soil feeds the other side, and your village is poor and remote, there is such a beautiful girl, it is really rare!"

Shi Tiezhu was so angry that he wanted to pick up a hoe and beat this surnamed Tong, "What's wrong with you being a showman? It's not so ugly to speak! What's the matter, I'm not good-looking, so my daughter has to be ugly? Although my daughter-in-law's name is cheesy, she is also a beautiful woman who can handle it in ten miles and eight towns, what's so great about your surname Tong? A poor showman, I still can't look down on it! In the future, my girl won't marry someone like you, an idle gangster!"

Later, it was his son Shi Dabao and daughter Shi Cuihua who pulled Shi Tiezhu to stop, and since then, Shi Tiezhu has no good impression of this Xiucai surnamed Tong, as long as Tong Xiucai squats on the ground, Shi Tiezhu speaks in a weird way, and the surname Tong refuses to suffer, so he has to return the mouth, but this Xiucai surnamed Tong has a mouth that is not forgiving, every time Shi Tiezhu is angry with him, he is like thunder, and he can't go over to beat him two hoes to relieve his anger!

Today Tong Xiucai came again, the two hand-copied sleeves squatted on the ground and looked around, like a second-rate son, Shi Tiezhu saw that he was really angry, Shi Tiezhu thought about it later, don't you have this kid surnamed Tong who has taken a fancy to my daughter? This has to be guarded again, our daughter's daughter can't marry this kind of bastard, a bastard who can only read! But why did other people in the village see this Xiucai and their eyes were full of envy? It's strange!

Shi Tiezhu didn't notice that there was another person squatting in the shade of a tree dozens of steps behind Tong Xiucai, around fifty years old, tall and wearing a martial artist uniform.

Tong Xiucai saw Shi Cuihua cutting wheat in the field, so she grinned at her, Shi Cuihua smiled a little shyly, she still likes Tong Xianggong a little, although he is not tall, and he is a little darker, but he is very energetic. She doesn't look down on Xiucai like her father Shi Tiezhu, she thinks that Xiucai is amazing, she can read and write, and knows a lot of things that her father doesn't know, if she has the opportunity, she thinks it's better to marry Xiucai!

Shi Tiezhu saw Tong Xiucai looking at his daughter and laughing, and a little anger rose, and he was about to have a seizure, when he suddenly felt the earth tremble, and the sound of horses' hooves rumbling from the south. Shi Tiezhu's face changed color, and when he looked south, more than thirty cavalrymen ran over in the distance, and it didn't look like the soldiers and horses of Jiangzhou County, because these guys didn't even have the villagers

I ran through the fields where I had time to harvest.

Tong Xiucai, who was squatting on the ground, had a discolored face and stood up. Those brightly armored cavalry were as fast as the wind, and under the leadership of a captain with a full face and beard, they soon ran to the edge of Shi Tiezhu's ground, and the bearded captain saw Shi Cuihua who was frightened at a glance, and hurriedly took the horse, laughed, and pointed with a horsewhip, "Ge Laozi, I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful woman in this poor ravine! Brothers, go and grab it, go back and dedicate it to the prince!"

Two cavalrymen turned over and jumped off their horses, approaching Shi Cuihua with a lewd smile, Shi Cuihua was frightened, screaming and hiding behind his father and brother, Shi Tiezhu was in a hurry, picked up the sickle and wanted to stop the two cavalrymen, but was kicked to the ground by the sturdy and stocky cavalry, and he couldn't struggle for a long time.

Shi Dabao saw that his father was knocked to the ground, roared angrily, and rushed up, but was hugged by another tall cavalryman, and the two of them fell on the ground, Shi Dabao was soon subdued by the tall cavalry, and was punched twice in the head and knocked unconscious in the ground. The two cavalrymen went up to catch Streis, but Streisha screamed and tried to escape, but tripped and fell to the ground, unable to struggle for a long time.

Tong Xiucai, who was watching coldly, shouted, "Stop! Where are you in the army? How dare you rob the people's daughters in broad daylight?"

The two cavalrymen turned around, and the bearded captain also looked over, and saw that it was a Xiucai in a square scarf and a wide uniform, and the bearded captain shouted, "Xiucai, don't be nosy, Lao Tzu is a captain under the king of Pingxi, and I am happy that I don't want to kill people today, otherwise I will chop you with a knife!" Shi Cuihua's father and daughter trembled with fright when they heard the three words of King Pingxi.

Tong Xiucai smacked hard and scolded: "Fuck you! You are wearing a dog skin, you can't protect the people and you come to bully the people, what kind of thing is it? This is Jiangzhou County, Jiannan Province, and you can't allow the soldiers of the Southwest Province to come here to spread wild, don't you know that you have crossed the line yourself?"

The bearded lieutenant was furious, pointed at his whip, and shouted: "Brothers, hack this poor acid to death for Lao Tzu!"

"Okay!" a cavalryman agreed, raised his saber high, and rushed towards Tong Xiucai on horseback, Tong Xiucai was stupid, and stood there without moving. Seeing that the cavalry's saber was about to cut off Tong Xiucai's head, Shi Cuihua, who fell to the ground, was also stupid, but he didn't expect Tong Xianggong to die on the spot in order to protect him. Streifer closed her eyes, unable to bear to see this bloody and cruel scene.

Streifer didn't hear the sound of a human head hitting the ground, but she heard a loud rumble, as if something had been knocked out. When Shi Cuihua opened her eyes, she happened to see that the cavalry company and the horse were knocked out and landed at the moment, the ground was dusted by the dead horse, and Tong Xianggong stood there, safe and sound, and there was a tall martial artist beside him, about fifty years old.
