"Milord!"
Advisor Wen's voice came from outside the door. Yu Junting immediately straightened her back, her dejected, distressed, and anxious expression completely swept away. She was still herself. In front of others, she was always so calm and strong.
"Milord, Tixi Handprint Lady has sent a message."
Wen Ao stood beside Yu Junting's desk and reported in a low voice, "Handprint Lady said that the Ge Clan Village suddenly moved back into the mountains. Now, not only is the Ge Clan Village empty, but the land that was originally allocated to the Ge Clan Village has also lost its owner.
The Ge Clan Village has already opened up a large amount of fertile land and sown seeds on that wasteland. What Handprint Lady means is that if we don't occupy it, it will soon be taken over by the Zhang family. So … should we make the first move? "
"We can't!"
Yu Junting made a decision almost instinctively without thinking. If Ye Xiaotian really left and never returned, she didn't want to seize Ye Xiaotian's property. Moreover, she didn't believe that Ye Xiaotian would resign himself to his fate.
If she seized Ye Xiaotian's property, no matter how good of a reason she had, once Ye Xiaotian returned to the world, the crack in their relationship would never be repaired. There were some things that others could do, but she couldn't. Ever since she had intimate contact with Ye Xiaotian, it wasn't that Ye Xiaotian would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.
It wasn't that Ye Xiaotian was vengeful, but Ye Xiaotian valued relationships too much. He didn't care if you did something right or wrong, but he cared about your true intentions when you did it.
Wen Ao revealed a slightly surprised expression. Yu Junting hurriedly covered it up and said, "We are allies with Ye Xiaotian. Right now, it's unknown whether or not he will come out of seclusion. If we impatiently occupy his property, wouldn't it make the other chieftains jealous?
Moreover, the land that the Ge Clan Village occupies originally belonged to the Zhang family. The Zhang family is still holding a grudge against us, but they have no excuse to start a war. Once we occupy the Ge Clan Village's territory, not only will we offend a powerful enemy like Ye Xiaotian, we will also give the Zhang family an excuse to provoke us. Let's just wait and see! "
"Alright! I'll reply now … "
"No! I request Mr. Wen to personally make a trip there and supervise her face to face. She mustn't allow the Palm Seal Madam to act blindly without thinking without thinking. At the same time … investigate Ye Xiaotian's whereabouts. "
The latter sentence was Yu Junting's real purpose, and Wen Ao clearly understood this. He looked deeply at Yu Junting and nodded in agreement.
The strange behavior of Ye Xiaotian and the Ge Family Village was quickly reported to the Zhang family in Tongren through the Zhang family in Tixi. Zhang Yuhan was overjoyed when she heard the news. She immediately went to look for Zhang Yutong and said excitedly, "Yutong, there seems to be a big change in the tribe in the mountains. Ye Xiaotian and the Ge Family Village have hurriedly abandoned their village and land at Tixi and returned to the mountains. This is a great opportunity for us! "
Zhang Yutong knew the news earlier than him, and was very calm at this time. He calmly said to Zhang Yuhan, "Oh! Cousin, do you think this is a good opportunity for us? "
Zhang Yuhan waved his hands and feet, spittle flying everywhere as he said, "With Ye Xiaotian gone, we should take back our land at Tixi! The Ge Family Village and Laoji Valley are built very well. They are completely military fortresses. We can also occupy them.
Without the support of Ye Xiaotian, we can also take this opportunity to turn the tables. Just based on that little girl Yu Junting, won't she obediently kneel under your crotch? Haha, Tongren, it is still our Zhang family's world! "
Zhang Yutong stared at this stupid cousin and said coldly, "Cousin, don't tell me your brain is damaged because of the pain of losing your son?"
Zhang Yuhan was stunned and said unhappily, "Yutong, what do you mean by this?"
Zhang Yutong said, "What I mean is that our Zhang family has already suffered great losses. In terms of strength, we are far inferior to the Yu family. It is all because of Ye Xiaotian that we can maintain a balance with the Yu family. Right now, I am only worried that once Ye Xiaotian leaves, that bitch will be blinded by greed and make trouble for our Zhang family. You actually want me to take the initiative to give someone a reason to speak? "
Zhang Yuhan opened his mouth but did not say anything.
Zhang Yutong raised his head and looked at Cheng Chen on the roof. He gritted his teeth and said coldly, "I have already ordered the Tixi Bureau to not care about, occupy, or ask about the villages and territories that the Ge Family Village has abandoned. Whoever wants to take them can take them. Our Zhang family will now go into hiding and recuperate!"
Zhang Yutong raised his hands and shouted loudly, "Gou Jian can endure the humiliation of tasting dung, Han Xin can endure the humiliation of being under someone's crotch. If the sages can do it, why can't I, Zhang Yutong, do it! I can endure what others can't. I can be a coward! There will be a day when my patience will be repaid! "
…
Cao Ruixi raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "You said that the people of the Ge Family Village have all retreated deep into the mountains?"
Yang Xianmin said, "Yes, the news came from the Zhan family. It is said that the tribes in the mountains have come out of the mountains and accepted an outsider, Ye Xiaotian, as their master. This caused the dissatisfaction of the elders of the large tribes in the mountains. They came out of the mountains together and intimidated Gedore. They captured Ye Xiaotian alive and brought the entire tribe back into the mountains."
Cao Ruixi raised his head and looked at the head of Yang Xianda hanging on the tall flagpole. The head that had been marinated with lime was tied to the hair and hung on the flagpole. The eyes had already been pecked out by crows, leaving only two black holes. It was a ghastly sight.
But Cao Ruixi, who had used even crueler methods to torture and kill many slaves and opponents, was unmoved. He heard that Yang Yinglong had a mattress and a saddle made from the skin of beauties, so he followed suit. He had even skinned people with his own hands. How could he be afraid of such a scene?
Yang Xianda was very unlucky. Just when he thought that he could wipe out Cao Ruixi and Yang Xianmin and completely confirm his position as the ruler, the Ge Family Village suddenly retreated. Originally, this was not the most fatal thing. As long as he immediately retreated and retreated back to the Yang Family Fortress, he could still hold on for a long time with the sturdy fortress. At that time, the situation might change due to the participation of some influential figures.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that the Ge Clan Stronghold had already retreated. When both sides were engaged in a chaotic battle and it was difficult for them to retreat, he made a second mistake when he found out the truth. He told the truth to his generals.
Everyone had a few trusted subordinates. Just like that, one to ten, ten to a hundred. Without waiting for Yang Xianda to give the order to retreat, the morale of the army was already disrupted. Compared to the Great Ming Empire's Imperial Guards, the soldiers under these chieftains were indeed more than a level stronger. But in terms of military discipline, they could not compete.
Once the morale of the army was disrupted and the retreat was not realized, it immediately turned into a rout. Other people could run, but where could Yang Xianda run to? Cao Ruixi and Yang Xianmin could let go of everyone except for him.
Yang Xianda was killed on the way to the Yang Family Fortress. At that time, he was only a stone's throw away from the fortress. The guards on top of the fortress were pulling the drawbridge, ready to lower it at any time. Once the Lord of the Yang Family Village rushed over, they would pull up the drawbridge. But at this moment, he was caught.
Yang Xianda's martial strength was very strong, but no matter how strong a tiger was, it was no match for a pack of wolves. Yang Xianda lost an arm and a leg in the group battle. At this moment, Cao Ruixi, who was watching the battle from the side, rushed over with a sinister smile. He stepped on his back and raised the saber in his hand high up.
"Gedore, you son of a b * tch! I won't let you off even if I become a ghost … "
Yang Xianda still didn't know that the real mastermind of the collaboration was Ye Xiaotian. In his despair, Gedore took the blame. Yang Xianda stretched his neck and roared in the direction of the Ge Family Village. His voice was filled with indescribable sorrow and anger!
"Pfft!"
Wherever the white light passed, blood splattered. Yang Xianda's head rolled a few times on the ground. His eyes stared blankly at the sky. Cao Ruixi took two steps forward and picked up his head. He raised it high up in his hand and laughed sinisterly like an owl.
On the walls of the Yang Family Fortress, the guards immediately collapsed when they saw the chieftain was killed. They abandoned the city gates and scattered. No one continued to resist, and the Yang Family Fortress fell just like that.
Yang Xianda, who didn't even step into the Yang Family Fortress until his death, had returned to the fortress. He 'stood' high up on the flagpole and 'watched' as his younger brother replaced him and took everything he had. He died with everlasting regret!
Cao Ruixi retracted his gaze and asked Yang Xianmin suspiciously, "How did the Zhan family know about this?"
Yang Xianmin said, "I know a little about this. The eldest daughter of the Zhan family has always been close to the tribes in the mountains, so it's not surprising that she knows some of their secrets."
"So that's how it is!"
Cao Ruixi was relieved and chuckled. "The heavens are really helping me! Now that you've become the chieftain of the Yang Family … "
Yang Xianmin hurriedly said, "I haven't received the imperial title yet, so I can't, can't."
Cao Ruixi glanced at him and blushed. "There's no need to scheme in front of me. Since Heavenly King Yang promised you, he'll definitely help you. Besides, I'm the one who killed Yang Xianda. Don't worry, you won't be able to escape as a chieftain. "
Yang Xianmin suppressed his joy and bowed. "I'll remember Heavenly King Yang and Brother Cao's care and concern. If there's anything I need from now on, Brother Cao, just tell me. I won't even frown if I have to climb a mountain of swords or dive into a sea of flames."
After expressing his loyalty, Yang Xianmin licked his lips and said rather greedily, "Brother Cao, the Ge Village has retreated deep into the mountains. They've left a village in Laoji Valley and Crouching Bull Mountain respectively. They're ownerless now. Also, they've taken a piece of land from the Zhang family in Tongren, and they've already turned it into fertile farmland. You see … "
Cao Ruixi glanced at him and said, "What, are you tempted?"
Yang Xianmin smiled shamelessly. "Brother Cao, those two villages were built according to the standards of military fortresses. It's a pity if they're damaged by wind and rain. Also, the fertile farmland they've opened up … "
Cao Ruixi chuckled. "That's Tongren Province's territory after all. If you cross the boundary, it'll easily cause a conflict between the two prefectures. In my opinion, Brother Yang, you should think twice before you act."
Yang Xianmin smiled fawningly. "I can't thank Brother Cao enough for your generous help this time. I really don't know how to repay your kindness. I'd like to gift Brother Cao's Jade Lake, the two green mountains by the lake, and the fields between the valleys to Brother Cao. I hope Brother Cao won't reject me. "
Cao Ruixi was overjoyed. He immediately said righteously, "However, the Ge Village was the one who provoked you first and took over your Yang family's Mercury Mountain. Now that they've lost, it's only right for the winner to take the loser's property! I support you! "
