"The village of Longyangdong Tusi is located on the mountain, and there are also their native villages at the foot of the mountain. However, most of the powerful leaders in the village live on the mountain. It is very dangerous to read a book to read a village."

Li Jing rode on the horse and explained to Ye Xiaotian as he walked: "That village is called Yumu Village. The village building is abruptly among the mountains, with cliffs on both sides, and there is only a narrow village gate in the middle."

Ye Xiaotian heard the key to the problem, interrupted him and asked, "So as long as they guarded the village gate, no matter how many people there were at the foot of the mountain, they would not be able to attack the mountain easily?"

Li Jing frowned and thought about it carefully, saying, "Unless you use cannons to bombard them, or use your lives to pile up and use all the defenders on the mountain, you only need ten people to defend the village and you can't conquer them at all."

Ye Xiaotian couldn't help frowning when he heard this. Since Tan Yanxiang had already planned to leave Shizhusi, no matter what guise Ma Qiancheng was under, he might not be without any warning. Even if he believed that Shizhu Ma's family did not know his conspiracy and was willing to let Ma Qiancheng go up the mountain, how could there be no one guarding the mountain gate? If Ma Qiancheng goes up the mountain and the village gate is closed, the inside and outside will be blocked.

Ye Xiaotian slowed down. When Tian Binfei's car got closer, Ye Xiaotian got into the car. The two of them discussed it quietly for a while, and Ye Xiaotian got out of the car and got on the horse and rushed forward.

Ye Xiaotian and his party also followed Ma Qiancheng. Originally, Ma Tusi wanted to invite them to visit Shizhu, but Ye Xiaotian could not sit idly by and watch Ma Qiancheng take risks, so he asked to come to Longyangdong. Ma Douhu seemed full of confidence in punishing the disobedient Tan Yanxiang, and also intended to show off his Shizhusi's force in front of the Guizhou Tusi, so he agreed.

Ma Qiancheng was wearing a dress, with a silver helmet and silver armor, which looked very majestic. Of course, the helmet and armor were just coated with silver painted leather. Otherwise, such a heavy pair of armor would be like to go up to the mountains, which would be more suitable to charge on the plains.

"Qiancheng. It is said that the mountain village in Longyangdong is very dangerous. One man is at the pass, but ten thousand men cannot open it!" Ye Xiaotian chased Ma Qiancheng with his horse and made a clear idea.

Ma Qiancheng said proudly: "There is no fortress in the world that cannot be defeated! What a man is the pass? No one can open a thousand men. That's what he said, but it's just hard to fight."

Ye Xiaotian said: "That's true, so if you can win Longyang Cave at the lowest cost, why do you have to let the warriors of your Ma family die? If the loss is too heavy, it will be more than worth the loss!"

Ma Qiancheng said seriously: "The ancestors' legacy: 'The land does not leave the country', and it makes people split up their incompetence and filth. It's a pity to our ancestors! So even if there are many people dead, this battle must be fought and must be won!"

Ye Xiaotian patiently convinced the young man: "Brother Ma, I mean not to fight, but if I can conquer Longyang Cave at the lowest cost, why should I attack? Haha. Since ancient times, famous generals have not been just a common man. Even if they are powerful generals with thousands of enemies, they will not rely too much on martial arts when they can defeat them."

This sentence is indeed very compatible with Ma Qiancheng's appetite. Ma Qiancheng, a middle-aged boy who has always been an idol of ancient famous generals, especially Ma Fubo, immediately responded: "That's right! That's why I want to act separately from my second brother. I go to open a mountain village, cooperate with my second brother inside and outside, and take down Tan Yanxiang in one fell swoop, so that I can win Yumu Village at the lowest price."

Ye Xiaotian said patiently: "Qiancheng, I'll hear Li's experience. In Yumu Village, there is only one way up the mountain, with cliffs on both sides. Even if you can't suddenly catch Tan Yanxiang, as long as he guards the mountain gate, you will be isolated from the inside and outside. When your second brother attacks the mountain, you're afraid you will die!"

Ma Qiancheng looked down on all sides and said boldly: "A real man is wearing a body of horses. It's ordinary! There is no immortality in fighting on the battlefield!"

Oh! This is so true that Ye Xiaotian is speechless.

Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly before saying, "Li'er is certainly the Li'er, but you have to know that you are going to punish Tan Yanxiang. As a result, not only will you die at his hands, but your second brother leads his troops to attack, and the tenth-year-old horse will also lose 50% or 70%. Even if you win, it will be a tragic victory.

Wouldn't it be better if there could be a better way, even if you seize Yumu Village without bloodshed? In this way, you can become famous in one battle. Anyone who hears it will inevitably raise his finger and praise him: 'It's true that he is worthy of being a descendant of Ma Fubo!'"

Ma Qiancheng likes to hear these words, and it is indeed a matter of his preference, so it is easy to convince him. Ma Qiancheng's eyes lit up immediately and he said, "Brother Ye, do you have a better idea than what my mother wants?"

Ye Xiaotian said in his heart: "Is your mother's idea very good? She completely puts your life and death aside."

Ye Xiaotian was standing beside Ma Qiancheng and talked about his ideas all the way. Ma Qiancheng nodded repeatedly when he heard it. After Ye Xiaotian finished speaking, he thought carefully and felt that this method was indeed better. He couldn't help but say excitedly: "Wonderful! This plan is indeed better than the idea my mother came up with! If I could win Longyang Cave like this, I would definitely become famous everywhere, hahahahaha."

Ma Qiancheng laughed wildly and then left. Ye Xiaotian said in surprise: "Where are you going?"

Ma Qiancheng rushed back without saying, "I'll go and say I know with my second brother and ask him to act according to his plan."

Ye Xiaotian stood by the road, looking at Ma Qiancheng who was moving away in a hurry and shook his head. Tian Binfei's car drove over, stopped beside him, and smiled and said, "You may not be a good toast with such a temperament, but you will definitely become a good friend!"

Ye Xiaotian thought about it and nodded slightly.

Although the Shizhu Ma family's chieftain's mansion is not in the Central Plains architectural style, the various functional areas are also distinct: the chieftain's ancestral hall, chieftain's yamen training ground, etc.

There is a pair of stone drums and couplets outside the gate of the yamen. The couplet says, "Who is not a child when guarding the stone pillars of the people of Situlis and the common people are innocent; the area with the 300-mile area is full of the 300-mile area." Behind the gate is the Yimen Gate, only the top figures at the state government level and above will open when they come to inspect and inspect. They usually go to both sides.

Behind the ritual gate is the left side of the courtyard, which is the right side of the prison room. The military room is only a place where prisoners and soldiers who guard the yamen are living. The prison cell is also fully functional, with both differences of severity and gender.

The main hall is where the chieftains ask for justice. Ma Douhu just went to the hall to try a case of private lead mining. It was simple for him to ask about the case, and there was no relatively rigorous trial procedure in the court. Right and wrong, and whatever punishment they used were all within the thoughts of the chieftain.

The stone pillar has lead ore, and the stone pillar department is responsible for mining, and it pays 5,130 kilograms of money to the court every year. The additional lead belongs to the stone pillar department. This is also one of the differences between Sichuan and Guizhou. Although the chieftains here enjoy considerable privileges, the ruling power of the court is implemented here relatively thoroughly.

It is very difficult for the chieftains in Guizhou to make them pay taxes on an annual basis, but it has become the norm in Sichuan. Therefore, it is normal for the chieftains to pay taxes in Sichuan. The local officials in Guizhou still basically retain their absolute autonomy since the Han and Tang Dynasties, and can be called the country among the country. This is also the reason why the Eagle Party regards Guizhou as the focus of the transformation of land and return to the land.

Shizhusi's method of mining and smelting lead ore was very backward, and there was not much lead produced every year. After being handed over to the court, it was limited, and this was one of the important sources of Shizhusi's wealth. Therefore, Ma Douhu has always attached great importance to the protection of lead ore, which is no wonder he was very annoyed by the thief.

However, despite the severe crackdown, the profit of stolen procurement is too great, and some people still take risks. Today, this group of stolen procurement judged them as "red shoes". Unlike the tortures in Guizhou who like to use the torture of throwing people into lime pits and burning them to death, the torturers here like to use "red shoes".

A pair of iron shoes is worn on the prisoner's feet, and the iron plate is burnt underneath. The prisoner jumps and struggles in pain until he falls in pain, and his whole body is painful or burned to death, which is similar to the magic of the fire.

After Ma Douhu handled the case of plagiarism, he angrily went to the back house. Behind the lobby is the second hall, which is the office of the chieftains and the masters and the residence of the chieftains. The third hall is the living area of ​​the chieftains family. The three halls have two flower halls in the east and west halls, the east flower hall is the place where the Ma family gathers on a daily basis.

Ma Douhu entered the West Flower Hall and briefly said a few words to Mr. Qin. At this time, the servant brought a bowl of soup. Mr. Qin took it and handed it to Mr. Mao Douhu. When he saw the soup, he grinned and said, "It's the tremella and lotus seed bird's nest soup again?"

This soup is a little sweet, and there is no other flavor. Ma Douhu, which has a heavier taste, doesn't like drinking this soup. However, Qin likes to condition this soup for him. Qin said as if coaxing a child: "You have a big temper and are full of anger, so you have to drink this soup to help with conditioning."

"Oh! How great is it to be a bowl of salted egg and meat soup!" Ma Douhu muttered helplessly, as if he was swallowing medicine, and drank it dry in one breath, and handed the bowl to Qin. Qin smiled at him and said, "You, don't be angry all the time. You are so old that you can't relax your mind!"

Qin walked out of the flower hall with a coquettish smile, and the smile on her face disappeared immediately, and was replaced by a faint disgust. There were not many places where she and her husband had a common language, and there were too many different life philosophy and habits. Just talking about what salted egg and meat soup her husband liked to eat, she felt vulgar, especially when he was eating.

"It's like a pig's grievance!" Qin scolded in disgust, and couldn't help but think of the handsome young man who was as beautiful as jade and elegant as a handsome young man. His conversation and temperament, and his appearance when he was drinking the white fungus bird's nest soup with a gentle and elegant manner. Qin's heart suddenly felt warm. How could her husband compare with others with others?

He handed over the silver bowl to the servants, but the Qin family did not have a flower hall, but instead took his own residence. He thought carefully: "Yinglong wanted to plan a big deal and his army was about to raise his troops. Qian Si and I should respond here to each other and help him achieve great achievements. However, the chieftain's power is in the hands of that man, and even if he dies, it will only be passed on to Qian Cheng. What should we do?"

Qin was worried and thought about it repeatedly. Suddenly, he remembered the case that Ma Douhu had just tried, and couldn't help but feel moved: "Mine! Lead Mineral! If you move your hands and feet on this lead mine, can you kill two birds with one stone?" Qin thought, and his face gradually showed a proud and vicious look.

Yumuzhai is on the mountain, and there are several small villages scattered at the foot of the mountain, all of which are affiliated with Longyang Dongsi. Some fields have been opened near the village. Although the land is barren, planting some crops can make a living. For families who are old and weak or have few strong men in their families, they can live a stable life by taking care of a few acres of land.

Li Jing quietly appeared at the intersection of the village next to the mountain road. He looked into the village with a head-on look, and then turned his head to look at the bushes beside him with a bitter look. Ye Xiaotian hid in the bushes and raised his hand to him: "Brother Li, don't panic, but when he sees something wrong, I will save you and leave immediately."

Li Jing wanted to speak but stopped. Forget it, he offended a chieftain. He could not escape his pursuit from Guizhou to Sichuan. Only by defecting to Ye Xiaotian can he avoid becoming a beggar. Now he has to do something for Ye Xiaotian to show his value.

A villager came out of the village with a hoe, and Ye Xiaotian immediately shrank the bushes. Li Juan was busy working on a stone on the side of the road, stretching out one leg and holding it with his hands, as if he was injured. When the village man saw Li Xiangrong, he said in surprise: "Oh, this is Mr. Li. I heard that Mr. Li, you went to Huguang, why are you here again?"

Fortunately, Li was very bored and often walked down the mountain when he lived in Yumu Village. It was rare for a stranger to appear in the nearby village, so many people in the village knew him. When the villager saw him, he recognized him as the relative of Zheng Limu's family on the mountain.

When Li Juan saw the attitude of this person speaking to him, his nervous mood suddenly relaxed: "I haven't revealed yet!" Li Xiangrong said quickly: "Oh! It's hard to describe it! I was robbed on the road and I've been to Huguang."

The village man nodded and replied, "It's good if the person is fine, it's good if the person is fine. Then Mr. Li is going up the mountain?"

Li Juan said: "Yes! I can't move without money. I can't beg for food all the way to visit friends in Huguang, so I'm here again. However, I was stabbed by the thief in the leg."

Li Juan pointed to the place on his thigh where the rabbit's blood was dyed: "I didn't feel any pain when I ran away all the way. Finally, I arrived at the foot of the mountain. I couldn't walk anymore. Can you please go up the mountain and send a letter to my cousin and ask him to take his slider down and pick me up."

The village man is very simple. Besides, Li Jing is a relative of Master Limu. Since he opened his mouth, how could he not help? He didn't have a slider at home, otherwise he would have to pick it up. He asked a neighbor and carried Li Xiangrong up the mountain directly.

The village man agreed and hurried up the mountain. Seeing his figure gradually disappearing into the winding part of the mountain road, Li Jing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In the bushes behind him, Ye Xiaotian poked his head out again and said, "How? I just said you were not exposed, right?"

Ye Xiaotian's inference originated from a common sense: Li Xiangrong did not escape, but left with a legitimate reason. When he saw the letter, he was surprised. Seeing that the tone in the letter was familiar, it was obvious that the two chieftains often communicated, so he wrote down a common greeting letter while editing. In this way, even if Tan Yanxiang's master came, Tan Yanxiang, who had not become suspicious of Li Xiangrong, would not take out the letter and let his master read it again.

Li Xiangrong is related to his own safety, but he is not as optimistic as Ye Xiaotian and said nervously: "It's hard to say. Even if Tan Yanxiang reveals the truth of the letter, there is no need to tell a villager at the foot of the mountain to know!"

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "It's such a rational thing, but in this closed village, there is nothing big about it, and everyone can tell you about it as a rare thing. If Tan Yanxiang already knew your identity, how could this villagers not know it?"

Li Xiangrong is still waiting to speak, Ye Xiaotian said: "If you don't believe it, just listen and see how your relative treats you for a while, and you will know the result."

Li Xiangrong said worriedly: "What if my cousin wants to tie me up the mountain?"

Ma Qiancheng's head suddenly came out of the side and said viciously: "Tie a cripple to go up the mountain. There are not many people's hands. I'm not alone! I can deal with it with one hand! If your cousin really wants to destroy his relatives for justice, I will destroy him for you!"
