A crisp and rapid sound of horse hooves sounded on the mountain path, and the local soldiers on the watchtower picked up bows and arrows and looked alertly into the distance.

There are high observation platforms built in all four corners of the village, with a wide view, so you can see the movements and stillness around you. From the high observation platforms, there is a brown horse racing like an arrow on the mountain path. The horseman shakes the whip in the air and then whips it on the horse's thighs. It is very rhythmic. As the horse whip is whip down, the horse's speed is faster.

"It's the second manager!"

A sharp-eyed local soldier shouted first: "Open the village gate, it is the second manager who is back."

The wooden village gate with a fence with a gun-like fence in the upper half opened, and the middle-aged man riding on the horse whipped it hard and rushed into the village.

This is the village in Xunqi. Xunqi governs a large area of ​​territory and countless people, but his village and people are distributed in various places in river valleys, mountains, and plains. The villages where the Xun family chieftains lived for generations are only larger than other villages. Due to the land output, too many people cannot be gathered here.

Xunqi had just returned from patrolling his village and fields. The chieftain was respected by his people as gods on his land, and no one dared to offend the authority of Lord Tusi. But the premise is: the chieftain should let everyone have food to eat. If the chieftain keeps his people not even enough to eat, it will bring him great danger.

The toast does not own the land and give it to the people to farm. He has to take care of all kinds of matters in spring and autumn harvest. A long time ago, a toast did not carefully choose good seeds to distribute to his people during spring and spring. As a result, the crops grew very badly. When pests occurred in summer, they failed to take effective measures to eliminate the pests. As a result, there was no harvest in autumn.

Another chieftain who had a grudge against him took the opportunity to lead his troops to attack him. Frictions and struggles often occurred between the chieftains on this land and even the heads of the same chieftain, but they all intentionally controlled the scale. Once they developed to an uncontrollable level, even if they did not want to stop, other chieftains and chieftains would interfere.

But this time, before the other chieftains and the heads intervened, the chieftain who sent troops successfully attacked the enemy's camp and killed all his family. Because as soon as his troops arrived, the people of the chieftains kneeled down and surrendered, no one resisted, and no one protected their chieftains.

In the end, the chieftains who had hastily intervened could only choose a Tushe from the direct relatives of the slaughtered chieftain and inherited his position as chieftain. This matter was regarded as a lesson by all the chieftains, and they would talk about it again and again to the heirs they chose, telling him the importance of land, food and people.

Xunqi also grew up listening to this story since he was a child. He gave people the image of a rude and barbaric old man outside, but in his village, he was a leader and elder who loved his people and was meticulous in everything.

The Baiman people are similar to the customs of the Han people. They mainly farm, raising silkworms and weaving cloth, fishing, and a small amount of herding. The most important thing they do every year is of course the arrangement of spring plowing, but the prevention and control of drought and insects in summer is also very important.

There is plenty of rain this year, so don’t worry about drought. Xunqi cares the most about pests. He just came back from the field, and the crops planted by his people are growing well this year. He went into the field and looked carefully. The impact of pests is minimal. Xunqi rode back to his village on a horse, and there was a satisfied smile on his face.

The tribe members who met him along the way stood respectfully, bent down to salute him, Xunqi rode on the horse, straightened his back, and nodded majesticly to his people.

At this time, a fast horse rushed over from a distance. Xunqi glanced at the man, then smiled and scolded: "It's indeed Long Fei, this kid likes to be rash."

The man who rode his horse into the village also saw him and rushed towards him. He was still six or seven feet away. The man quickly pulled the reins of the horse. The horse was neighing and standing. When his front foot stepped on the ground again, he had already run to Xunqi, bowed deeply, and took out an invitation from his arms.

He said to Xunqi: "Master Tusi, the imperial envoy sent by the court invited Master Tusi to Yaozhou City to discuss the arrest of the rebels. Because the banquet was scheduled tomorrow, the slave was worried that it would miss the time for the adults to attend the banquet, so he rushed back immediately."

When Xunqi heard that Huang Jingrong was summoning him to go, his face immediately became dark. The second manager Long Fei presented the invitation respectfully. Xunqi grabbed the letter in his hand and glanced at Long Fei and said, "I heard that all the chieftains were very unhappy during the reception banquet?"

Long Fei said respectfully: "Yes! The imperial envoy probably regarded himself as the emperor of the Central Plains, and all our chieftains and headmen are his slaves. He is very rude, and all the chieftains and headmen are very angry at his rude behavior."

Xunqi increased his tone and said loudly, "What kind of imperial envoy is a greedy hyena, a cruel jackal! In his eyes, there is only gold, women and power. Rebellion of the wandering people? Will those poor wandering people rebell? What a big joke!

Only the female emperor who sits in a palace made of gold and acts as a blessing, listens to the flattery of a few close servants, never goes to inspect her people in person, and never goes to see her land harvest, will she believe such stupid words! Long Fei, I remember correctly, the wife your son married is a miserable woman, right?"

Long Fei smiled and said, "Yes! My lord, that's such a good woman. She is handsome, diligent in her work, and she is very filial to the elderly. The most rare thing is that she is studying and literate like Master Tusi. My son is so blessed. She is now pregnant, and I will soon be holding my grandson."

Xunqi laughed and said, "Then do you think she will rebel? Should she be dragged to behead her head!"

Long Fei was angry and his eyes turned red: "How could a good woman who is so gentle, rebellious? She still has my daughter Long Fei's biological grandson in her belly. Which damn Han official dares to pull her to behead her? Long Fei will fight with him!"

Xunqi burst into laughter. He didn't open the invitation at all. He tore it to pieces and threw it into the air. He then drove his horse to the watchtower where he lived.

Yun Xuan hurriedly found Wen Hao and whispered: "Xunqi refused to come!"

Wen Hao asked nervously: "Did he find something?"

Yun Xuan said angrily: "He found out what a big deal! I've already inquired about it. Huang Jingrong was slapped by him when he was in the state. He ransomware and then let him go. It would be strange if he was willing to come again!"

Wen Hao walked around the room nervously and asked again, "Will Meng Zhezhu come?"

Yun Xuan said: "You are not unaware that Meng Zhezhu has always liked to compete with Xunqi. If Xunqi doesn't come, wouldn't he reduce his value by himself when he comes?"

Wen Hao's punch with his fist and palm was very annoyed.

Yun Xuan comforted, "You don't have to care too much. I said that this method is useless. If they capture their chieftains, their tribe will not use the surrender of the entire tribe to exchange for the freedom of the chieftains. Then we will take out a successor and take the banner of avenging the chieftains, and we will not end up."

Wen Hao gritted his teeth and said, "Then there is nothing I can do, I have to use force!"

Yun Xuan said happily: "That's right. This is the only way. Then let's do it tomorrow?"

Wen Hao nodded heavily and instructed: "Don't forget, ask the warrant with Yushi Huang first!"

Yun Xuan smiled knowingly and said, "Don't worry, I can save it!"

The next afternoon, farmers were working hard in a terraced field on a hillside.

The weather was still so hot, and the treetops were drooping weakly. A tiny sound of horse hooves suddenly came from afar. The farmer who was working in the fields looked into the distance and saw several horses galloping towards this side. On and behind the horses, there were a large group of earth soldiers holding guns and long swords.

The farmers thought it was the chieftain who came to inspect the territory, so they quickly returned from the field, but did not dare to look up. They were about to kneel down and kowtow to the master, but the local soldiers holding guns and knives rushed towards them like wolves and tigers.

There was bloody screaming all over the ground. The farmer was surprised to find that these masters were not the masters of their territory. Some quickly fled to the fields, mountains and valleys. Some people had wives and children to protect them, so they gritted their teeth and pulled out their swords and stepped forward to fight desperately.

The people here are fierce. Whether it is to resist the possible robbers or the wild beasts that suddenly emerge from the forest, a knife is their essential weapon. However, the farmers are outnumbered, and corpses are quickly left on the ground, and the others escape.

The farmers who fled back to the mountain village had just told the head of the village what happened in the field. The head of the village ordered people to sound the horn and gathered the young and strong men in the village to rush to rescue him, but the people had already rushed to the mountain village with murderous intent.

The village was looted, and all the valuable things were forcibly taken away by the robbers and local soldiers. Some robbers even carried some young and beautiful girls on their shoulders.

The inexplicable people cried to the ground, cursed, and cried as they watched the robbers come and go, and Mars were flying all over the sky above the burning houses...

This village belongs to Xunqi Tusi. It is said that this village has sheltered people from the country.

After Yang Fan arrived in Yaozhou City, he spent two days to find out the power structure of Yaozhou and some of the things that happened after Huang Jingrong arrived in Yaozhou. However, Yang Fan had not thought of a particularly appropriate solution for how to arouse a greater conflict between the Yaozhou tribe and Huang Jingrong without any trace, prompting them to cause trouble, and to keep the situation within a controllable range.

At this time, Huang Jingrong could not wait to launch an attack on Xunqi Headman. Yang Fan never expected that Huang Jingrong would cooperate so much, and he did nothing, but Huang Jingrong had already done everything, and he did better and more efficiently than him...
