The village of Liangzhou, unlike Guannei, is purely a place where relatives in the township live, and the courtyards and huts are connected, and the dignity, wealth and poverty, can be seen at a glance.

On the contrary, the villages in Liangzhou seem more suitable to be called villages, not only are the places vast, but there are rammed earth walls on all sides. The adobe workshop where ordinary people live can't tell the height from the short, it's so yellow and misty. Only the residences of the village patriarch and even the three elders and Baojia are built with bricks and wood.

If it is a village on the dirt mountain, it will be more convenient. The wall of yellow mud rammed earth is gathered into a dock village, and the cave formed by the mountain and the adobe house in the mountain nest do not look like a private house, but have more meaning of a military fort. Not to mention the Kongsui dug up on the mountain, they are all dug out according to the method of the old soldiers on the border, which is convenient for people to lie down and look around, but it is more convenient than the corner tower of the ordinary military village.

If the village is larger, whether it is the patriarch or the rich family who pays out of their pockets, or the heads of several people in the ancestral hall are evenly shared, they are also willing to ask those rangers who can drive a strong bow and dance a big gun to help take care of the family business. The so-called "raise your hand to catch the flying dog, possess the body and scatter the horse's hooves", a ranger with excellent archery skills, a hundred steps away, can shoot people's eyes, and will never deviate to the nose. Such a skill can be put in the army, and even the position of Qutun chief can be established, let alone in these villages. Compared with the two, the children of the Liangzhou rangers are better off than those in the pass,

Such strict precautions are not for anything else, just because this is Liangzhou!

Regardless of the Qiang rebellion, this Liangzhou is also the main road for the caravan to go west, the temperature in the world has been low all the way over the years, in Liangzhou, the westernmost part of the Han Empire, it was originally known for its "cold climate", and the performance at this moment is even more obvious. It is already difficult to feed the ordinary small yeoman farmers who are scavenging in the soil facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and they can either sell their land and become the pawn of the wealthy family, or they can only go bankrupt.

Unemployed strong laborers, except for a few lucky ones, distant relatives to vote for, or literate and hyphenation, physical capital is sufficient, go to the caravan to beg for food. Most of them had to fall into the grass, which in turn provided the best reserve for the bandits who had gathered into the group.

If you fall into the grass as a thief, you just want to mix a full stomach, so you can't take care of any benevolence, righteousness, morality, and villagers, so you can only rob his mother. In turn, they forced all villages to redouble the construction of village walls and ask for courtyards, or simply villages and thieves watched each other, and it was not clear what the difference between a thief's village and a village was distinguished.

In the officialdom of the Han Dynasty, the evaluation of Liangzhou has never been high, there are only "three more" - more soldiers, more chaos, and more people. It is to send the exiled officials to Liangzhou, and there is little difference from exile - unless it is when the troops are raised to quell the chaos, there are a few relatives and children of the family who want to brush up on military merits as the road to advancement, and they are willing to look at Liangzhou a few more times.

The big men with the big Han crowns look down on Liangzhou, a place where soldiers and bandits are both soldiers and bandits, and they all regard Liangzhou as a daunting path, but some people can look at it.

Shiyangtou is a village near the mountain, the standard half is the village courtyard and half is the cave pattern of the mountain, but the village is much larger than other places, and a street has been opened up in front of it, making warehouses and places to settle for the caravans. However, the leader of Shiyangtou is a merchant from the gang, although Liangzhou is light on culture and education, but in martial arts, it is necessary to pay attention to the inheritance of a general, such a merchant background, in front of those who have been more than 100 years old, it is particularly not enough to look at.

However, this stone sheep's head is placed in ten miles and eight towns, but it is already a great behemoth, and the third Shi Taishi led by him is also a character who will be shocked three times as soon as he stomps on the ground within a radius of dozens of miles. No matter what else, the dozens of men recruited by Shi Laosan's hands are all from the background of selling livestock for many years, and these cattle sellers are driving the livestock group to run inside and outside the pass, paying attention to opening roads in the mountains and building bridges in the water, and they can't do it without some real kung fu under their hands!

The cowboys of the Westward Movement of the United States, armed with guns and Indians, were not necessarily as risky as these cattle dealers. These people come and go, in addition to trafficking livestock, and when they really encounter a lonely traveler, they may not not do some black-hearted business of killing people for money and abducting and selling good families.

Such a tycoon, resting in martial arts, is almost the status of a village owner and a castle owner, although most of the protagonist's treatment can't be enjoyed, but it's more than enough to mix the main villain.

Today, Shi Yangtou is also having a feast, and the street along the storehouse and shops under Shiyangtou has been cleaned. The master in charge of the kitchen in the guest house, the shopkeeper of the small shop that sells food, and all the people who are next to the cook's line go to the Shijia's compound on Shiyangtou to renovate the banquet.

As for the drum troupe of the ten villages and eight townships, whether there is a business or not, whether it is to help people get married, have a birthday or go to the funeral, they all resigned, and they all went to Shi Yangtou to decorate the façade of Shi Laosan. Shi Laosan himself changed into a large silk robe with a wishful palindromic pattern, and stood on the street with his cronies and nephews as a happy god.

This is nothing else, in Liangzhou, Zhangye, Wuwei is still said to be rich, Jincheng, Longxi counties were too affected by the Qiang chaos decades ago, and the vitality has not recovered. In addition to the old village, the newly erected village is not small, and the green forest road in Liangzhou has to face the reality that the old and new forces are intertwined and conflicting with each other.

After a few fires, although a lot of the new village was swallowed up, it was not for nothing that the old village was seriously injured and eaten clean by the opponent. Although in most people's imagination, the life on the green forest road is the day of licking blood with a knife, and it is normal to draw a knife and kill each other when there is a disagreement. However, how can you not have a brain? You only know that slashing, slashing, slashing, and killing is the fate of a lifetime of minions, and at most it is just a black whirlwind. The people who are in charge of each mountain and village are in charge of things, and when they encounter things, they still talk about peace more often, and this kind of joke that the people like to see can generally only be used at the end.

Shi Yangtou's flowing water banquet today is to entertain the old and young masters of several cottages within a radius of 500 miles, and in the final analysis, it is a matter of dividing the territory. Shi Taishi, as a local hero, is also the next family of several cottages to sell stolen goods, and his strength is faintly outstanding in the local area, so he naturally made the host up.

Fortunately, the face of the stone castle owner, a few cottages around him are also willing to hold it, and there are few who miss the appointment today. Even the newly emerging Tianma Village on Tianma Mountain sent Chen Qi, the master of the young village, to visit. Although the young master Chen Qicai is just a young man under the age of twenty, the master of the stone castle is also very able to greet with a relaxed face: "I know that Tianma Village is full of talents, and it is really good to see it today." Look at the size of the virtuous nephew, it is really majestic! The big boss of your village, when I practiced kung fu with me in the iron bone gate in the past, I knew that the big boss was not a thing in the pool. Now that my nephew is here, I have to have a few more drinks with me. I have Jiu Yuchun sent by Wuwei Guzang City here, poured on the plate, and when it rolls, it is a ball of big beads, and it will be sent to Luoyang to pay tribute!"

After picking up a few people in a row, the master of the stone castle pinched his fingers and calculated, and several masters on the surrounding roads were almost there-only Tianma Village was insincere, and he brought a stinky boy to make trouble. But away from Tianma Village, everyone doesn't make groove cakes differently? Don't care so much, a few join forces, you Tianma Village can't still eat? As for the friendship of the same door at the beginning-hey! White silver, yellow gold, what friendship is greater than this!

Although the street was sprinkled with water and cleaned, but a few people and horses stepped on it, and gradually rose to ashes, and the lord of the stone castle felt that his legs and feet had been standing for a long time and were a little inactive, so he nodded to the left and right, and planned to go back to preside over the banquet. However, as soon as he turned his head, he could hear the horse's hooves behind him, and in an instant he saw a black horse carrying a small knight rushing up.

In the presence of Shi Tai, the black horse ran away, although the knight had already reined in his chew, and the black horse spun around the street, and the horse's hooves sounded on the stones. Shi Tai's eyes are good, and he can see at a glance that the hooves of the black horse are inlaid with an iron palm, and the fine iron light is hard to hide, and he knows that it is a rare good iron at a glance!

Shi Tai has never seen the system of inlaid iron palms on the horse's hooves, but he also knows that it is to protect the horse's hooves, and he knows that the knight's origin is not small just by looking at this heart. However, when I looked closer, the knight on the horse was a young man in a yellow shirt, a few years younger than the young owner of the horse village that day, and he looked like a live monkey with a smile.

The young man turned over and jumped off the horse, and hugged his fist towards Shi Tai: "This person in front of me thinks to be the master of the stone castle, right? Boy, I am the personal guard of the king of Taiping Dao Longxi to sacrifice wine, and I Taiping Dao Longxi Wang Da sacrificial wine and the divine protector heard that the lord of the stone castle had a feast, and I also want to come to ask the lord of the stone castle for a glass of wine to eat." I don't know if the Lord of the Stone Castle welcomes my family's big sacrificial wine to be this uninvited guest!"

Shi Tai listened to the young knight report to his home, and his heart suddenly struck. Whether it is in Jizhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, or Yangzhou, Taiping Road is very popular. But in Liangzhou, the momentum of Taiping Dao has not yet been built up much - where there are Qianghu, almost all of them are Zoroastrian dominant, and it is only close to Guanzhong that some Taoists of Taiping Dao hold nine-section bamboo canes, give a reason, and distribute some runes and water.

In normal times, how could a powerful person like Shi Tai use his eyelids to clip these Taoists? However, today's situation is special, and looking at the outfit of this messenger boy, it is not like the preacher Shi Tai has seen who is bitter and relies on the believers to be hungry and fed, but there is a taste of fierceness and lightness, and he has obviously been trained in the army.

It's just that in a blink of an eye, Shi Tai raised his hand solemnly: "Thanks to the king's great sacrifice wine, brother and me, what else is there to say?
