One day a little earlier, it was late at night, Yu Pet didn't say anything, and looked carefully into the distance.

This is a barren grass, near a mass grave, far away on the hill, a little fire is lit in the night, but here is no sound.

This Yu pet is the son of several generations of the family, several generations of meritorious, loyal, so he gave the surname Yu, and enjoys the same treatment as the Yu family branch, and now he regards himself as a member of the Yu family.

This Yu pet looked at it for a moment, and then said to an undercover agent: "Brother Qiu, what is going on, you can tell me carefully." ”

Whether it is a regular army or not, the name can be distinguished.

This spy is Qiu Yin, who is also the son of the family, and said in a deep voice: "It's all figured out, this is Fang Mao of Pingshou County, who was originally the commander of the county's Xiang Army, and offended people, so he fell into the grass." ”

"This man gathered the ruffians and some old bandits, and took possession of the mountain, numbering about sixty people, and often kidnapped and ransom women, but he was still measured, and did not make the county encircled and suppressed. ”

Everyone nodded, this is in line with normal sense, Yu Chong groaned for a long time, he believed that he could lead the Yu family army and capture this village, but if there were casualties, the gains outweighed the losses.

Yu Jiajun is still a private soldier, and he has not been on the scene, and his small capital cannot withstand consumption.

But in the end, there was a decision, he waved his hand, and said lightly: "A team of armor-piercing, strong archers go first!"

This small team is not large, but it has a full range of troops, which is prepared for the future expansion of the army.

"Yes!" After the military order was issued, he immediately responded to the order, and the atmosphere became solemn.

The group climbed up silently, and looked at the small village on the top of the mountain, but there were still two people patrolling, Yu Pet sneered: "This Fang Mao is worthy of being the commander of the army, and he also knows some art of war - shooting!"

I only heard the sound of "poof" twice, two long arrows passed, and the two lazy inspectors suddenly shot over and fell, and let out a miserable scream.

Yu Pet looked back, the five fire chiefs in front of him were waiting solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Attack in, don't leave one, kill them all!"

The five of them saluted together, and the leaves rang out: "Mark the order!"

At that moment, fifty people rushed straight over, climbing the wooden wall of more than two meters and entering, and at this moment, someone inside shouted: "There is a thief!"

The thief shouted to catch the thief, only to hear a shout inside: "A thief has attacked the village......"

At this time, the people who climbed to the top had jumped down, and Yu Pet was relieved, and after a while, he saw the gate of the village wide open, and the group rushed in.

Don't overestimate the reaction speed of the bandits at any time, only to see someone rushing out of the house when they were killed, and before the bandits could form a formation, the archer fire commander ordered: "Shoot!"

Suddenly, the few bandits who had just rushed out of the house let out a miserable scream and fell backwards. After the shooting, the armor and the bandits collided together and fought. Yu Pet looked at it in a deep voice, and saw that they were fighting in the firelight, and the screams continued, but these bandits, although there are also people with outstanding skills, but how can there be any military columns?

All of them are fighting with blood and energy, and the armor soldiers are trained in the Great Yi Martial Arts, and pay special attention to joint attacks, and they have fought many times on the grassland, which can be called elite.

There is also armor to protect him, and he is immediately invincible, and all those who stand in the way scream again and again.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen bandits who came out were killed, and only a few were left to see that the situation was not good, broke through the formation, and wanted to flee for their lives.

Yu Pet stood at the door, calmly watching the fight, and five armor soldiers and five archers stood quietly beside him waiting for the next order.

Seeing this situation, Yu Chong calmly ordered: "Brother Xiao!"

An archer commander immediately responded: "Mark it clearly - shoot!"

Listening to the sound of "poof", a fleeing bandit let out a long scream, this bandit seemed to have some martial arts, was jumping onto the wooden wall, but was hit by three long arrows, and suddenly fell like a sandbag, and fell with a bang, and blood continued to flow out of his body. Then, two more screams were heard, and the fleeing bandits were all shot. In the entire battlefield, there were only five people left behind the enemy's most desperate struggle, only to see one in the middle, a man about thirty years old, roaring angrily, with several wounds, drenched in blood, dancing knives desperately to tear and kill, but there were also some shadows of the Great Yi Wujing, but there were too few secret agents Qiu Yin pointed and said: "This is Fang Mao!" Before the words fell, he only heard the sound of "poof" twice, and two long knives broke through his leather armor from two angles and pierced deeply into his body.

Fang Mao's roar suddenly stopped, and as soon as he saw the long knife draw, the corpse fell to the ground, and when he reached the ground, he was already exhausted, but his eyes were wide open, and he didn't bat at death.

Yu Pet just entered, his expression remained unchanged, and he heard someone report: "General Banner, all the bandits were killed, no one on our side was killed, and only eleven people were injured." ”

Yu Pet said: "Clean up the battlefield, check the corpse, and give a mending knife." Someone responded: "Yes!" Everyone cleaned the field, stripped off their weapons and armor, and gave statistics on silver two-meter bags, and asked Yu Pet for instructions, Yu Pet said lightly: "Write it in the booklet, take a rest today, and immediately investigate the truth of this Yejiazhuang tomorrow." ”

"Also, the clothes of the bandits must be washed and put on, and we must attack as mountain bandits. ”

"Also, with these thieves as sacrifices, I ask for the protection of my Yu family gods, and clean up the clan gods of the Ye clan first!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded, and after half an hour, a simple altar had been erected, and the corpses of sixty bandits were piled up in front of them, and two hundred and fifty Yu family soldiers were all solemn and bowed to the altar. At the venue, the smell of blood quickly spread, and a faint black shadow came, and a flock of crows hovered overhead. On the day of the test in this state, the Ye family in Pingshou County was also solemn. This is an ancestral hall with a bluestone high wall, and at this time, there are thousands of people in the open space outside the ancestral hall, and all of them do not even have a sound.

Yejiazhuang itself is a village, there are about 800 households in the village, 200 households are clansmen, and there are tenants and family children, multiplying and forming the current pattern.

Ancestor worship is a clan of the event, originally a festival, the New Year's sacrifice, but in the event of a major event can also be sacrificed, this time more than 3,000 people came, the flat ground is full of people.

The men of the Ye family all stand in the front, while the women and children can only stand in the back, and the children and tenants can only stand on the periphery and watch.

The Ye family, who has a little knowledge, knows that there is a Dao law in the Dao examination room, but they also know that the core children of the Daoist family are struggling in the state city thousands of miles away, which will determine the fate of the Ye family in the next thirty years.

Out of inner expectation, all the clansmen spontaneously gathered in front of the ancestral hall.

In the main hall of the ancestral hall, the patriarch Ye Mengqiu led Ye Zifan and other members of the backbone family to pray together: "The descendant Ye Mengqiu led the clan to be united in this one, may the ancestral god bless Ye Qing and let Ye Qing play an unhindered ......"

There are five layers in the ancestral hall, which is established in accordance with the rules of "the people are three scholars, five lords, seven kings and nine ......", simply put, it is that ordinary people sacrifice three generations, scholars can sacrifice five generations, lords sacrifice seven generations, and emperors sacrifice nine generations.

I saw that on the first high platform, there were three tablets, all of which were made of wood, with red lacquer on them, but the names were golden, and the tablets had cloud patterns. This is exactly the tablet of the lifter, the shrine at home. Below is the dense ancestral tablets, arranged into four layers according to generations, also wooden, but there is no red paint, no moire, and the names are written in ink

At this time, someone came up - divided into three incense sticks, the people in front of them officially incense, Ye Zifan lined up in the back, looking at the white-haired old father incense, and couldn't help but feel sad.

The character of his own family is red, and the children and talents are okay, and they can't be affected by lifting people, so they don't dare to pray for the middle lift, so they can only euphemistically hope that their children will play - smart people know the Tao, which imperial examination is only by playing?

Since the ancestors raised people three times in one family, whether it was his father who was raised in the middle of the year or Ye Qing this time, he couldn't get much help from his family, and now gathering people to sacrifice is just a kind of sustenance.

Just thinking about it, it was Ye Zifan's turn, so he didn't think much about it at the moment, took three sticks of incense to the incense burner, lit it on the candle, bowed sincerely three times, and offered the incense on the incense burner. After the offering, I looked up, and saw that on the top floor, the three tablets were surrounded by red spiritual light, and the thousands of tablets on the lower four floors had a trace of white spiritual light, which was connected into one.

The whole turned into a reddish cloud, which shrouded the ancestral hall.

Of course, Ye Zifan knows that this is the aura of the great clan's sacrifice, but it can bless the ancestors, and this condensed luck protects the descendants.

"After the incense is finished, the clansmen bow!" After the incense was finished, Ye Mengqiu ordered, and the order was immediately conveyed, and the clansmen outside who were not qualified to enter the ancestral hall all looked solemn and bowed down to the ancestral hall together.

The surrounding tenants and family children also bowed down, and the three thousand people bowed down, only to see that the entire ancestral hall was filled with white and red gas, but it was full of sacredness.

After a moment of salute, Ye Zifan hurriedly stepped forward to help his father and said, "Father, don't worry, Qing'er is the leader of the Longjun banquet, and the Longjun has promised to enter the rank of fellow jinshi, so there must be no hindrance." ”

Ye Mengqiu's eyes were gloomy, but he knew that it was not trivial for him to raise his position, but he was afraid that the Longjun banquet would not be enough at all, but he couldn't say this at this time, he just waved his hand: "I know the Dao, I am also tired, you go to host the family banquet and toast everyone on my behalf!"

As he spoke, there was a sudden abnormal sound, and everyone was suddenly terrified, and hurriedly looked, and saw that on the five-fold shrine, a god card suddenly cracked, and if he could look at it, he saw that the original red light was suddenly extinguished.

Almost at the same time, two other divine tablets suddenly lit up, and the red light was blazing, and the white and red qi of the entire ancestral hall were connected, as if resisting.

The yin wind blew through the ancestral hall, faintly heard the sound of swords and soldiers, and the bloody qi transmitted the most powerful message, Ye Zifan was a showman, different from others, and suddenly tears flowed, and his heart was instantly empty, instinctively knowing that the Dao was a shocking change in the underworld, the ancestral god was suddenly attacked and killed by other ghosts and gods, and there were two who immediately woke up and defended.

The situation was very critical, Ye Zifan only felt that his legs were weak and his body trembled, and a sense of foreboding arose that something big was coming, and he was at a loss for a while, but he couldn't react.

At this time, Ye Mengqiu finally raised his personality, quickly calmed down, and as soon as he pressed the shrine mechanism, the preset magic array was displayed, and the magic pattern lit up, and the red light gradually stabilized. Then, Ye Mengqiu's face was pale, and he struck heavily on the ground with a cane, shouting loudly: "This is the ancestral god warning you, there must be a big change outside!"

"Ring the alarm bell, order the clansmen to enter the clan wall immediately, and the clan soldiers will immediately be armed and go up to the wall to defend!"

"Fan'er, you go out of the city to command it personally!"

Three orders were given, and suddenly everyone had the backbone of the heart, and they responded to the order together, stepping out of the city.
