conflict

Chunlai retreated to the back with flowers, flowers, willows and greens. They were self-aware, and the war was left to Xie Yi and the others who were experienced. What they had to do was not to hold back and help as much as they could.

"Xiao Liu, go get the bow." Xie Yi ordered in a deep voice.

Soon a few wooden bows and arrows were taken out. Tianyou Kingdom does not allow private individuals to hide a large number of iron weapons, so they chose the best wood to make bows and arrows early on.

Xie Yi first picked up a wooden bow and weighed it in his hand. The pulling power and shooting range of the wooden bow were not as good as the iron bow, but the villains shouting outside were not far away, so the wooden bow was more than enough.

Seeing that throwing in the first torch did not have the desired effect, the members of the Zhao family opened the torch and prepared to throw in the second torch, but soon they saw two pieces of wood appearing on the wall of Xie’s courtyard. .

"What is that?" Jia Ding stopped his hands and asked.

The thin and weak servant replied, "It looks like a ladder."

The servant thought it was the Xie family who were finally afraid and wanted to ask for peace. Just as he was about to shout triumphantly, he saw the upper body of a person appearing from the ladder. Immediately afterwards, the person raised the bow in his hand.

"Run..." the servant yelled, and staggered back without thinking about anything else. They were very close to the wall of Xie's courtyard, otherwise they wouldn't be able to throw the torch into the courtyard with one hand.

Xie Yi calmly bent his bow and set up an arrow, and one shot hit Zhao Linping one foot in front of him.

The sharp wooden sword pierced the ground obliquely, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling slightly.

Zhao Ningping, who had never seen such a posture, was almost scared out of his wits, trembling in place, with his mouth open, but unable to utter a word.

Immediately afterwards, several ladders were erected on the top of the wall in succession, and people all holding bows and arrows emerged from the courtyard wall, and pointed their sharp arrows at the heads of the people surrounded outside.

Seeing that the people outside were in a mess, Xie Yi said coldly, "If you don't get lost, you will die here."

Only then did Zhao Ningping come to his senses and yelled at the servant who had already run away: "Dog, hurry up and help me."

The servant didn't seem to hear it and ran straight out, but the thinner servant ran over and dragged Zhao Ningping away from the spot.

More than 20 people were like a school of fish that had exploded, ignoring everything and fleeing desperately, for fear that if they ran too slowly, they would be shot through their heads with an arrow from the people behind.

The Xie family's crisis seemed to be resolved in this way, but Ye Yuanxian and Xie Yifeng still did not come out.

"I always feel that something is wrong." Chunlai said with deep eyes, "A beautiful girl from another village was also arrested. I heard that it was the Zhao family who did it."

Xie Yi and the others hurriedly sorted out and exchanged the news they had received recently, and came to the conclusion that this series of actions of the Zhao family might have something to do with the imperial envoy coming to inspect.

"Let's sharpen some more wooden arrows, and also prepare some weapons that should be prepared. In case those dogs from the Zhao family come again, we will have a way to deal with it." Xie Yi made a decision.

On the other side, Zhao Ningping ran to the owner's yard immediately after returning, and stood outside the door. He inadvertently stroked his face with his hands, and his expression quickly changed to one of admiration and fear.

"Come in!" said the man in the house.

Zhao Ningping bent down to go in, and the first thing he saw in the room was like a child opening his mouth to complain: "Brother, I found a good seedling, I brought people and Yinzi to the door to talk, but instead of coming out, he wanted to use a bow and arrow shoot me."

The man who lowered his head to deal with official duties seemed to be more than ten years older than Zhao Ningping. He was the current head of the Zhao family, Zhao Ningde.

Zhao Ningde put down the pen in his hand and asked Zhao Ningping: "How good is Miao Zi? Is it worth your visit?"

Zhao Ningping stepped forward to whisper a few words in front of Zhao Ningde, and then took out a portrait that he had drawn a long time ago from his sleeve and showed it to Zhao Ningde: "Look, brother, this is the most beautiful one I have ever seen." , which of the many women in Lekang County can compare to him?"

Zhao Ningde was also extremely satisfied when he saw the portrait. The people above him told him early on that he didn't love money, rights, or confidante, but he had no choice but to take a breath of the wind. If he was satisfied with the person he chose, power and official position, it would be easy to grab thing.

You know, their Zhao family's current wealth is already sky-high, and no matter how rich they are, it will be nothing but white money. What's the use of putting it in the warehouse?The most important thing for a man is to hold power, just like their Zhao family, no matter how rich the money is, the county magistrate still wants to kowtow to say hello, what is his status?

Zhao Ningde has always been used to high-sightedness and low-handedness. He wants both unlimited wealth and unlimited rights. Now this opportunity is right in front of him. Money will definitely win him an official position.

Zhao Ningde thought that his requirements were not high, and that he could get the position of county magistrate, and he would make plans step by step for the rest when the time was right.

Now this opportunity is in front of his eyes, the person in the portrait is excellent no matter his appearance or demeanor, even he, who only loves women, finds it good-looking when he sees it, the imperial envoy will definitely like it.

"Have you checked, is there any connection behind this person?" Zhao Ningde asked Zhao Ningping, suppressing the surprise in his heart.

Zhao Ningping replied cautiously: "I have already checked, one of them is a retired soldier and the other is alone in Youluo Village. They have no one to rely on. The only thing that can be related is the Escort Bureau. But the involvement is not too deep."

In other words, it is impossible for the Escort to confront the Zhao family because of such a person.

Zhao Ningde nodded with satisfaction: "In this case, I will send you some more people, and I will go and capture them tonight. We don't have much time left, and the imperial envoy will arrive in just over ten days. Before that, we have to teach Ren Tiao well, lest he ruin our big event."

If the Zhao family dared to send someone up, they had to make sure that the person sent up would be obedient and obedient, and would not bite them back in front of the imperial envoy and spoil their plans.

Zhao Ningping immediately clapped his hands happily: "Okay, brother, the people you raise are all the most powerful ones picked from the bandits, and I will definitely bring him back tonight. By the way, brother, I can You can't destroy that Xie's house, the mountain villager hates seeing it?"

Zhao Ningping was actually jealous of Xie's exquisite house. As the third son of the richest family in Lekang County, he lived in a courtyard that was not as spacious as Xie's, which made him really angry.

"Wait a little longer." Compared with Zhao Ningping, Zhao Ningde's temperament is much calmer and more vicious: "After the matter is done, you can play whatever you want, and I will definitely not care about you. You can't make things big now , so as not to cause complications."

"Oh good, I listen to my elder brother." Zhao Ningping knew that he was inferior to Zhao Ningde in all aspects, so he listened to him very much.

In the evening, more than a dozen burly men quietly left the city with things wrapped in cloth towels strapped to their waists. They were the thugs carefully trained by the Zhao family. thing.

And these thugs have another identity behind their backs, that is, bandits from Anyang Mountain.

When these people left the city, the people hiding in the dark hurried to the county government office: "My lord, the people from the Zhao family are leaving the city and heading towards Pinghuai Town. With something, we dare not stop it."

This person is a person specially ordered by the county magistrate to guard the gate of the city. The county has not been peaceful in recent days. The gentry and landlord have too many schemes in their hearts. They have not completely controlled all the forces in Lekang County.

The first to bear the brunt of these forces that are not under his control are the wealthy businessmen and landlords headed by the Zhao family.The face of the county magistrate was slightly distorted, and it was the Zhao family who first released the news about the robbery of the women and men.

"My lord, what should we do?" His subordinates stood there tremblingly, he was afraid that now that he reminded the magistrate, he couldn't control his anger and beat himself up.But the subordinates also knew very well that if he didn't remind something bad, he would be the one who would be unlucky in the end.

Fortunately, although the magistrate has a distorted expression, he is not a cruel person. He knows the consciousness of his subordinates, and after thinking about it, he said: "You let the chief of the yamen follow those people with someone and my warrant. If something goes wrong In my name, let those people be detained first, without interrogation, and directly put in a big prison, and treated like those troublesome country gentry and landlords."

"Yes, my lord." The subordinates hurried out.

In the Xie family's mansion, Ye Yuanxian stayed by Xie Yifeng's side and knew everything about what happened outside, but he knew that Xie Yi and the others could handle it, so he didn't make a sound.

Xie Yifeng's condition is not very good, I don't know what he recalled, his face is heavy with grief, and the despair shrouded in his body seems to engulf Ye Yuanxian, it's really scary.

As night fell, Xie Yi arranged for three people to be on duty in the yard, 100 meters and 300 meters in front of the yard. What happened during the day always made him flustered. He vaguely felt that the Zhao family would not let it go so easily.

The weather in late May was already extremely hot, and when it got dark, the village was quiet. Xie Jiu hung a bamboo tube around his neck. There was a small crack at the bottom of the bamboo tube. on his chest to keep him awake at all times.

In the second half of the night, the chirping of insects and birds gradually disappeared, and even the mountains gradually became quiet. It was the deepest time of the day.After the sixth drop of water on his neck, Xie Jiu opened his eyes wide again and tried to wake himself up. After this sleepy period of more than an hour, he would be more awake.

There was a faint rustling sound in the distance, as if some animal stepped on the road covered with weeds, and the grass blades collided with each other.

Xie Jiu suddenly ran away with a clever sleepiness. Having grown up in the military camp since he was a child, he knew very well what the sound of such footsteps meant, and he could roughly estimate how many people were coming from the opposite side just by the sound of footsteps.

He looked into the distance, and all he saw was darkness, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

This made Xie Jiu's heart sink to the bottom of the valley. He came in the middle of the night and covered up his figure, so he must be someone with evil intentions.

He put his little finger in his mouth, and made a "goo" sound from his throat. After two consecutive sounds, Xie Jiu rolled over and fell to the ground without making a sound.

At the same time, another hidden figure also rushed towards the Xie family compound, it was Xie Liu who had received the news.

The figures of the two walked quietly in front of the group of people, separated by a distance of several hundred meters.Xie Yi and the others who were sleeping in their clothes in the compound quickly got up, picked up the bow and arrow and spear placed by the door, and rushed out.
