People who practice martial arts always have sharp eyes. Yang Heihu is sitting in the salt field. There are more than 300 salt workers in the field. Although he cannot name them, most of them look familiar. The number 100 person in Changshan Village is the focus of his attention.
The person sitting on the pile of firewood was naturally Shuanzi. Looking at his back, Yang Heihu felt suspicious. However, when he rode by, he saw that face that was very strange. This was of course due to Gao Xiuer's disguise.
Technique.
But the man driving the car aroused Yang Heihu's suspicion. Although Kunlun slaves are from Nanyang, they are rare in Jiangnan. What's more important is that the man driving the car is unfamiliar and obviously not an expert. But his arms are stiff and he insists on
He controlled the driving horse with a strong force, and he was obviously a good man.
There is no way to let the Kunlun slaves drive the car. The current group of young people in Changshan Village have never been exposed to horses, let alone driving a carriage. The four Kunlun slaves have learned it for a few days, so this task naturally fell to them
On the body. In addition, they have skills on the body that can protect the embolus when necessary.
Although the Yang family's opening of the salt farm could not be hidden from the local officials, it was hidden from the eyes and ears of the court. In order not to attract the attention of outsiders, the Yang family acted extremely cautiously here. Yang Xuangan repeatedly emphasized that outsiders were not allowed to be led to the salt farm in the west of the city.
Manor, because in the eyes of other families in the court, the Yang family had abandoned that manor.
After Yang Heihu and his party of five rode over, the carriage transporting firewood also sped up. However, in this section of the official road, there were many people coming and going, and there were many large carts transporting salt. No matter how good the horses were, they could not run fast. The carriage was like this
He followed behind unhurriedly, which aroused Yang Heihu's alertness even more. One of his hands had already secretly grasped the handle of the knife.
When there were still more than five miles away from Yanguancheng, the Kunlun slave who was driving suddenly raised his whip, the horse neighed, and the carriage turned a corner and entered the side road. Yang Heihu saw the carriage out of the corner of his eye.
As he walked further and further, he breathed a sigh of relief. At some point, he found that his palms were filled with sweat.
Shuanzi and the others can definitely continue to follow, Yang Heihu and the others can't run fast anyway. But before leaving, Liu Ziqiu told him that they could only follow as far as this fork in the road. Liu Ziqiu knew that the Yang family had been in Yanguan for nearly a year, but they didn't have much
People know where they are ending up, which shows that they are very cautious in their actions. If they follow them all the way, they will definitely be alerted.
Although the carriage did not continue to follow them, Yang Heihu was still a little uneasy. As soon as he entered the manor, he asked: "Where is the Seventh Young Master?"
Zhuang Ding, who was guarding the door, pointed to the back and said, "Young master is in the flower hall."
This was originally a villa belonging to Chen Shushen, the king of Yueyang in Nanchen. The flower hall was in the front yard. Before reaching the door, I could hear the faint sound of silk and bamboo.
Although Yang Heihu was just a domestic slave, he had a special status and did not need to pass the door to enter. When he opened the hall door, he saw two voluptuous orchids, their waists twisting like water snakes, dancing gracefully there.
Although Yang Jishan was not married, he took in two concubines and spent most of his time in the manor drinking and having fun with his concubines. Seeing Yang Heihu come in, Yang Jishan laughed and said: "Heihu, you came at the right time! The eldest brother just came
Two orchids were sent from Luoyang, and they danced so well, haha, haha..."
Yang Heihu was not in the mood to enjoy the singing and dancing. He raised his hands and said, "Seventh Young Master, the people from Changshan Village went to the salt field today."
Yang Jishan frowned and said, "What are they going to do?"
"They asked to go to work."
"Haha, haha, these untouchables really don't drink wine as a penalty!" Yang Jishan took advantage of the situation and pinched the chest of his beloved concubine, raised a wine glass in front of him, and said, "Ignore them.
Heihu, come here, this is the grape wine that my eldest brother just sent from Luoyang, you can have a taste too!"
The salt farm was running well, and the stone that weighed on Yang Xiaogan's heart fell to the ground. In order to tie up Yang Jishan and prevent him from running around and revealing his whereabouts, Yang Xiaogan specially asked people to send Hu Ji and Hu Ji from Luoyang.
Fine wine.
Yang Heihu saw that there were still a few red spots on the wine glass, which had obviously been used by the concubine in Yang Jishan's arms. How could he dare to take it? He hurriedly said: "Seventh Young Master, I don't like this sweet and sour taste. It's still strong liquor."
Well done."
"You kid!" Yang Jishan put the wine glass to his mouth, drank it all in one gulp, then paused heavily on the table, his face darkened, "Tell me, what happened next?"
But Yang Heihu didn't care what he thought of him. He raised his hands and said, "I didn't let them in. I sent them all away."
"Oh, they didn't make trouble?" Yang Jishan was a little surprised by this result.
"No trouble."
Yang Jishan suddenly pushed away the concubine in his arms, stood up, walked two steps in the flower hall, and said in a deep voice: "They have a contract in hand, they won't just let it go. In this way, tomorrow morning, you go to the county government office
, tell them not to accept the lawsuit from Changshan Village!"
"No!" Yang Heihu clasped his fists and wanted to continue reporting about the suspicious carriage. When he saw that Yang Jishan had sat down again and was hugging his concubine and kissing him, he finally held back.
Yang Jishan played around for a while and found that Yang Heihu was still standing here. He couldn't help but pointed at the two orchids dancing in the field and said, "How about it? Whichever one you like, let her accompany you at night."
"Thank you, Seventh Young Master, I don't like this." Yang Heihu bowed and said, "If there is nothing else, I will retire."
"Go on, go on. What a boring guy."
…
At this time, Shuanzi also returned to Changshan Village.
The entire Changshan Mountain has turned into a large construction site again, as if it were two months ago. The villagers piled up the bamboo, wood, and stones collected from the mountain in different categories. At the four corners of the village, wooden watchtowers have begun to take shape. Fences
It was almost torn down and rebuilt, with tree stumps as columns and reeds as walls.
Xiao Dapeng was leading dozens of villagers, brushing the reconciled mud layer by layer on the fence. Seeing Liu Ziqiu arranging people to follow Yang Heihu, the young man finally believed that Liu Ziqiu would help him take revenge, and he felt that he had endless energy in his body.
Shuanzi came over and asked: "Dapeng, where is Brother Daniu?"
Xiao Dapeng raised his head, pointed to the place where the bamboos were piled, and said, "Hey, over there."
Shuanzi hurried over and saw Liu Ziqiu immersed in picking bamboo. He couldn't help but ask: "Brother Daniu, what are you doing?"
"Oh, Shuanzi is back." Liu Ziqiu threw him a long bamboo and said, "Try it and see if it fits?"
"This is?"
"The bamboo spear, or bamboo spear, is also suitable for assassination."
These are moso bamboos that are more than three years old. Liu Ziqiu selected the ones with the right thickness and sharpened one end. They can be used as spears. They are just not sharp enough and easy to lose. But there is no way. The imperial court strictly prohibits the use of long spears among the people.
Weapons such as spears, spears, horse spears, swords, bows and arrows, otherwise they will be punished as treason. However, this also has an advantage. There are so many bamboos on the mountain that it can be said to be inexhaustible.
Shuanzi took it, danced twice, and said excitedly: "Are we going to attack the salt field?"
"Attack your head! If you use this to fight with others, you will almost die." Liu Ziqiu snatched the long bamboo with his hands, threw it to the villager who was responsible for cutting the spear head, and said, "How is the situation?"
"According to your instructions, we have been watching the fork in the road five miles east of the city and watched them enter the city." Shuanzi said with some regret, "If we continue to watch, we will definitely find their foothold!"
"Okay, if you keep watching, you will be killed." Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "Go down and rest first. Wait for them at the east gate tomorrow. There is no need for a carriage. You can carry a load by yourself. I will let you
Ah Fu, Ah Gui protects you secretly."
Shuanzi agreed, took two steps, and suddenly asked: "Hey, Brother Daniu, do you want to build a big house?"
In the center of the village, a large piece of land has been leveled and the foundation has been dug. Judging from the scale, it is a typical large house with three entrances and three exits.
Liu Ziqiu spat: "Am I someone who can leave everyone behind and enjoy myself alone? That is a school in the village."
"A school." Shuanzi, who had little interest in studying, shook his head in disappointment, "It would be great if we could build a school ground."
"Screw you, you thought I was going to rebel!" Liu Ziqiu laughed and cursed, "Get out of here!"
Someone outside shouted again: "Daniu, the third aunt is back!"
Liu Ziqiu quickly put down his work, stepped forward and asked, "Third Aunt, how are things going?"
The third aunt sighed and said: "Forget it, I asked several gentlemen, but they were either sitting in the restaurant or they thought our place was too far away. There was only one old man who promised to come here to have a look in a few days. I was still in a dilemma whether he could do it or not.
between."
Liu Ziqiu nodded and said: "There is no rush in this matter. Take your time. The school has not been built yet. We can set the conditions more generously and take care of food and housing. No matter how much effort it takes, we must find a way to educate the children."
Read the book."
"It's good because of your words, my little child can also study in the future." The third aunt raised her head and looked at the busy construction site everywhere, frowned and asked, "Daniu, could it be that the Yang family is coming to massacre the village again?"
A few months ago, it was Liu Ziqiu who cleverly set up a trap and repelled the night attack organized by the Yang family, forcing Yang Jishan to sign the contract. Everyone in the village still remembers that experience.
"They won't come for the time being. But it's good to be prepared and guard against thieves."
However, Liu Ziqiu knew that the next move he was going to make was a dangerous move, which would probably lead to crazy revenge from the Yang family, at least to allow the village to hold on until the officers and soldiers arrived. After all, the Sui Dynasty was not in chaos yet, and the Yang family was not.
Dare to go too far.
It was getting late, and Liu Ziqiu asked everyone to go back and rest, but the villagers refused. They lit torches and worked all night. A few months ago, it was Liu Ziqiu's strategizing that saved them from a catastrophe. They had absolute confidence in Liu Ziqiu's words.
They insisted on completely sealing the fence, so Liu Ziqiu had no choice but to let them go.
Back in the courtyard, the lights in Gao Xiuer's room were still on. Liu Ziqiu knocked twice and pushed the door open, only to see Gao Xiuer hurriedly stuffing something behind her.
