Chapter 43 The Enemy of Luxury

By the time Gao Jie and the others arrived, there were already a lot of people gathered in front of the patriarch's mansion, and there seemed to be a hint of nervousness in the air.

Li Hongming was wearing a yellow brocade robe and a white samurai uniform, and his appearance was majestic, but also had some dignified colors. Behind him were four elders in blue robes, and dozens of family members were surrounded by the front lawn of the entire patriarch's mansion.

Opposite them, there were about fifteen or sixteen indifferent warriors, all dressed in cyan warrior uniforms, only the leader was wearing a black power suit, which felt like he was wearing a night suit during the day, which looked a little weird. He is in his thirties, with deep-set eyes, thick eyebrows and thick hair, a beard, and a majestic and domineering appearance.

Li Hongming did not move, clasped his fists and saluted: "Li Hongming, the patriarch of the Li family in Xia Li Jiqian Village, I don't know what you are doing when you come to my village? What is the rudeness of the soldiers of my patriarch's mansion, and it is worth letting the guests take such a heavy shot?"

It turned out that this group had already seriously injured the guards of the two patriarchs' mansions just now. After Li Hongming came out, he felt that the person who came was strong and hostile, so he ordered the alarm bell to be sounded and summoned the masters of the clan to come to help.

Gao Jie knew that the guards of the Patriarch's Mansion were all carefully selected by the Li family, and when he saw that this group of people had never moved at all, he knew that all of them were strong in martial arts and had extraordinary skills.

The person in charge just looked at Li Hongming coldly and disdained to answer.

Behind him, a man in a green coat and a white scarf, who looked quite handsome, urged him to step forward, with a condescending and arrogant look on his face, and said to Li Hongming: "The young master of my family said that he would go in to ask the patriarch of the Li family for questioning, and those two minions even said that they could not go in until after the report, wouldn't this be looking for death? ! If it weren't for the young master's soft heart, it is estimated that they would have died!"

When Li Hongming heard this, he laughed angrily and said loudly: "Your Excellency has such a big tone, it seems that the young master of your family must have a great future." Please report your name and see if my Li family can afford to mess with it!"

The man in green clothes and white scarves snorted coldly and said, "The name of the young master of my family, the patriarch of your family in a small ravine is not qualified to know!!"

Gao Jie saw that the official words of this group of people didn't seem to be very sharp, and they didn't look like Han people, but their attitude was extremely arrogant, and they really didn't know which way of the gods was.

As soon as the man in Tsing Yi and the white scarf finished speaking, a loud voice came from a distance: "Brother Haoyin, General Fan Long, why did you still hide it when you arrived in this small place, is it necessary?!!hahaha!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another group of about seven or eight horsemen galloped to the front of the house, the leader of whom was dressed in a purple suit, tall and thin, looking very capable, his hands were almost knee-length like apes, about forty years old, his face was wrinkled, his complexion was dark, and he looked quite old. He stopped his steed, and leaped from his horse, and fell into the middle of the field like a goshawk.

When Fan Long saw the person coming, his eyes narrowed, and he was about to speak, but the black-clothed young master behind him smiled, turned over and dismounted, and came to the person and said, "You are Uncle An's nephew An Xiaoliang?!"

The man with long hands and feet clenched his fists and said: "The contemptible person is An Xiaoliang, it seems that you are the elder brother of Luyin!"

Hao Yin returned the gift and laughed: "It's Hao Yin, the name of Brother An's divine sword, like thunder, I finally saw it today!"

When Li Hongming heard the names of these two people, his body was shocked, and he asked: "Could it be that you are the people of Sichuan Tiger King Hao Chongming and Guizhou Luodian King An Bangyan?"

Hearing Li Hongming's question, the entire village was startled.

Only Li Hongji and Li Guo didn't know who they were, so they hurriedly asked Gao Jie, Gao Jie thought for a while and said: "They should be Yi people, and the Lu'an Rebellion that is happening in Guizhou, Sichuan and now is their masterpiece!"

Gao Jie's archaeology major is not in vain, and he naturally remembers the famous "Extravagant and Peaceful Rebellion" in the late Ming Dynasty.

But he heard a yellow bird-like voice behind him whisper in his ear: "I didn't expect that you are still a little knowledgeable!"

Gao Jie's body stiffened when he heard this, and he was even more nervous than he had just heard that the person who came was an important figure in the Sichuan-Guizhou rebels. Because the person who spoke was Li Jina, and I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the little girl was standing behind Gao Jie.

seemed to feel Gao Jie's nervousness, and Li Jina's beautiful voice sounded in her ears again: "Don't be afraid, if something happens, my sister will protect you!"

Seeing that this little Nizi was now starting to take advantage of herself and calling herself a sister, Gao Jie was not happy, and couldn't help but was about to fight back, but suddenly remembered that the situation was unclear and the situation was urgent, and it was not the time to fight with this little Nizi, so he wisely chose to shut up and endure.

Li Jina seemed to be very satisfied with Gao Jie's reaction, and when she saw that he looked like a wronged little daughter-in-law, she blew a breath in his ears and stopped teasing him.

She didn't know that Gao Jie was blown in her ear, her whole body trembled, her face suddenly flushed, and she couldn't help but think of the flight attendant on the plane.

The Yi people, known as the Yi people in the Ming Dynasty, are mainly distributed in the northwest of Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou and Guangxi, and are an ethnic group with a long history.

Extravagant Chongming, more than 50 years old this year, Wanli 14 years (1586) to serve as Sichuan Tusi Yongning Xuanfu envoy, is Sichuan Yongning (now Xuyong) people, Yi chieftain, ancestors received the imperial court gifts, hereditary Yongning Xuanfu Division, with brave and warlike Yi soldiers in their hands, Luxury Chongming and his son Hao Yin and others have long had the heart of "reviving the Yi country".

In the first year of the Apocalypse (1621), the Houjin rose in Liaodong, the Ming army was repeatedly defeated, in order to solve the urgent need, the Ming court recruited extravagant Chongming to lead the troops and horses to rescue Liaodong, extravagant Chongming took the opportunity to send his son-in-law Fan Long, the general Zhang Tong led 20,000 infantry cavalry to Chongqing, on September 17, taking advantage of the opportunity of the school field to perform martial arts, killed more than 20 military and political officials such as Governor Xu Keqiu, launched a rebellion, occupied Chongqing, attacked the river, broke Luzhou, and trapped Zunyi (now belongs to Guizhou), the founding name "Daliang", set up the prime minister, Wufu and other officials, and the whole Shu was shaken.

Extravagant Chongming is brave and good at fighting, martial arts are profound, and the secret technique of the Yi nationality "Tiger Claw Strength" has been perfected, and it is the first master in Xishu, known as the "Tiger King", and has a prominent reputation. This extravagant Yin is his only son, who has been brave and fierce since he was a child, has a violent personality, and his martial arts are also extremely high.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is powerful, the imperial court is requisitioning troops to the surrounding areas to go to Sichuan to quell the rebellion.

An Bangyan was a native of Zhijin Nawei (now Zhijin Guanzhai) in Guizhou, and was a famous Yi Tusi in the late Ming Dynasty. He was originally a native of Shuixi, Guizhou (west of the Yachi River) and the son of Yaochen. After Yaochen died, because his son Yao was young, his mother Hao Shehui took charge of his affairs. Luxury Shehui is the niece of luxury Chongming, as a woman, it is inconvenient for her to manage military affairs, so An Bangyan specializes in military affairs.

From the forty-sixth year of Wanli (1618) to the forty-seventh year of Wanli (1619), Houjin Khan Nurhachi raised troops against the Ming. The imperial court discussed the requisition of troops from the southwest to aid Liao, and An Bangyan was unruly, and he had different ambitions, and wanted to multiply the incident, so he asked Li Zong, the governor of Guizhou, to go, but Li Zheng knew that An Bangyan had objections and did not allow it. Kunihiko did not give up, and after returning to Dafang, he actively planned anti-Ming matters.

In the first year of the Apocalypse, after the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming court transferred troops from the west to Sichuan to quell the rebellion. An Bangyan took the opportunity to aid Sichuan in the name of aiding Sichuan, in February of the second year of the Apocalypse, led an army of 20,000 to Bijie (now Guizhou Province), launched a rebellion, proclaimed himself "King of Luodian", and captured Bijie with the assistance of the prefect of Wusa (now Weining, Guizhou) and his nephew An Xiaoliang. Native officials in Dongchuan in Sichuan, Zhanyi in Yunnan, Hongbian in Guizhou and other places responded one after another, so the rebels successively divided their troops to capture Anshun, Pingba, Zhanyi, Longli and other places, cutting off the official and military aid routes and the Yunnan-Guizhou roads. On the ninth day of the first month of February, An Bangyan led an army to surround Guiyang, claiming to break Chen (Chenzhou) Chang (Changde), go down to Jingzhou, and reach the Central Plains. Baoqing and Jingzhou were shaken.

Guiyang's troops were empty, and the governor of Guiyang, Li Zong, and the governor of the imperial history, Shi Yong'an, led the army and the people to stick to the lonely city. The general soldier Zhang Yanfang led 20,000 troops from Tongren to help, but was lured and defeated by the rebels in Longli.

In March, the Ming court ordered the towns near Guizhou to send elite troops to help, and transferred 40,000 officers and troops from Huguang, Yunnan, and Guangxi provinces to Guizhou. In June, the new governor Wang Sanshan led an army of 10,000 troops into Pingyue (now Fuquan, Guizhou) and waited for reinforcements from all over the country. Xu Shifeng, deputy commander-in-chief, and Fan Zhongren, a staff general, led reinforcements, but were defeated by the rebels at the Wengcheng River in Xintian (now west of Guiding, Guizhou), and Guiyang was starved of food.

At this time, An Bangyan's army was besieging Guiyang City, and Luxury Chongming was also fighting with the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in Sichuan, but he did not expect that An Bangyan's first master, "Divine Knife" An Xiaoliang and Luxury Chongming's son "Crazy Tiger" Luxury Yin would appear in the ravine of Li Jiqianzhai in Shaanxi.

After Li Hongming knew their identities, his mood became more and more heavy, but his face was still unfazed, and he only heard him say lightly: "It turns out that the distinguished guest has arrived, but I don't know what the noble thing is to come to our poor ravine?"

Hao Yin shouted: "Now that you know who we are, why don't you hurry up and hand over the treasure of the Hidden Soldier Cave and the "Legacy of Succession", don't talk nonsense!"

Li Hongming frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly: "What kind of hidden soldier caves and secret tips, how did my Li family have these things, this is completely a rumor!"

An Xiaoliang sneered and said: "The news that your Li family in Jiqian Village has obtained the treasure of the Tibetan Soldier Cave and the "Secret Guide of Jiqian" has already spread all over the rivers and lakes, why should Patriarch Li pretend? ! We came from afar this time, we are bound to win, and we will never return empty-handed, you had better take the initiative to hand it over, lest we do it!"

Gao Jie didn't know what the so-called treasure of the Hidden Soldier Cave and what secrets were, but seeing that Hao Yin and An Xiaoliang had come all the way from the land of Sichuan and Gui for these two things, it seemed that they must be some powerful treasures. As the saying goes, if the Li family really gets the treasure, I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep it. Because since the news has spread all over the rivers and lakes, there will not only be the two forces of luxury and security, with the strength of the Li family, it is tantamount to a mantis arm as a car!

The second elder Li Hongyu behind Li Hongming, that is, Li Jie's father, has the most violent temper, and when he heard An Xiaoliang's words as a naked robber, he was immediately furious, jumped to the center of the field, and shouted: "Do you do it?

Hao Yin didn't look at Li Hongyu, but turned back to Fan Long and said lightly: "Fight quickly!"

Fan Long, who was in green clothes and white scarves, answered, slowly took off an iron long whip from his waist, and said in a long voice: "Then I'll scare you, be careful not to scare your gall, haha!"

Before the laughter fell, his wrist flicked, and the iron long whip-shaped weapon was like a sinuous poisonous snake, swift and agile, and wrapped around Li Hongyu.

The weapon in Fan Long's hand is called the tiger tail whip, which is one of the unique weapons of the Yi nationality, the whip is two zhang long, the thumb is thick, the whip body is all made of good steel, the iron whip is interlocked, the weight is about ten catties, there is the power of a heavy weapon, and the agility of the soft whip.

When Li Hongyu saw Fan Long's strange weapon attacking, he immediately pulled out the long sword at his waist, and under the infusion of internal force, the sword body stopped shaking, and pointed straight towards the swimming whip head of the tiger tail whip.

Li Hongyu's hand is one of the Li family's stunts "Xia Ren Swordsmanship", he has been immersed in this swordsmanship for decades, and has reached the realm of great achievement, although it may not be anything in the clan, but in this Li family, he thinks he is the top three masters.

Seeing the iron whip winding up, he judged that the strength should not be strong, as the saying goes, the snake must hit seven inches, so he attacked the whip head with a swift blow, believing that the opponent's move would be useless.

But hearing Fan Long sneer, the tip of Li Hongyu's sword was in the air, because the strange iron whip suddenly bent and bypassed the tip of his sword when there was no room for fire.

Before Li Hongyu could change his move, the iron whip head turned his head and slammed on the sword, only to hear the sound of "ding", the sword body was instantly broken into two, and Li Hongyu's tiger mouth was in great pain, and the remaining half of the sword in his hand could not be grasped, and "dangchang" fell to the ground.

Under one move, Li Hongyu was defeated!

Not only Gao Jie, but all the people present in Li Jiqian's village saw this, and they were so shocked that they took a breath of cold air.
