Chaos in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 137 Guiyang Duan Family
Then he stood on the ground, took a horse step, drew a circle with both hands, and performed two Tai Chi moves.

The three of them were overjoyed immediately, who else could know this Tai Chi Kungfu except their master Guan Ziyang!
Iron Bamboo Villa.

Ran Liang, who had been away for a long time, came back now, saw the two of them lying on the bench and dozed off, and said with a smile: "You two little friends, what do you think I brought back?"

After speaking, he raised a big carp in his hand.

Seeing this, Sima Jiaonu jumped up happily, and shouted excitedly: "Uncle Ran, you are awesome, you really caught a fish!"

During the noon dinner, Sima Jiaonu just mentioned that she loves fish the most, but she hasn't eaten it for a long time, so Ran Liang helped her go fishing with a fishing rod alone.

Guan Ziyang had to start to wonder, is this Ran Liang really the father of his sworn brother Ran Min?No matter how you look at it, you look like the warm uncle next door...

The two quarreled in Tiezhu Villa for two days, Ran Liang helped them prepare enough dry food, and the two finally set foot on the road to Luofu Mountain in the south again.

Before leaving, Sima Jiaonu persuaded him to go look for Gu Gu with them, but Ran Liang just shook his head, split a piece of wood with the stone ax in his hand, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I'm still here." Help her light the fire here, she may not want to see me..."

Ran Liang just asked them to pass on the news to Bao Gu after they saw him: "Jin Dao is taking good care of him."

"When I see Bao Gu, I will definitely let her go to Tiezhu Villa to accompany Uncle Ran. Uncle Ran has been alone in that valley for more than ten years. Bao Gu is too sorry for him!" On the way, Sima Jiaonu said angrily. Guan Ziyang said.

Guan Ziyang was noncommittal: "Well, you are a princess, and everyone in the world will listen to you! How do you know whether Baogu and her husband are willing?"

Sima Jiaonu waved his knife in the air: "You have to go if you don't want to, at worst, let me go together..."

Guan Ziyang dare not tell her that Gu Bao's husband is Ge Hong Ge Xianweng, the patriarch of the Jindan sect, if you really join the Jindan sect in the future, Ge Hong will be your master, and you actually let the patriarch's wife go on a tryst man……

I laughed out loud when I thought of this, hahaha...

"What are you laughing at, little turtle? You don't believe me? Let me tell you, there is my uncle on Luofu Mountain, even the current head of the Jindan Sect will have to sell my uncle's face!"

"Believe me, the third princess has hands and eyes, how dare I not believe it, that's enough, don't gossip, it's getting dark, let's try to rush to the valley ahead before dark, and find a cave there to spend the night." Quickened the pace.

Sima Jiaonu pouted and followed closely.

I thought to myself: "Hmph, the stinky turtle doesn't believe me, when I see my uncle, I'll see if I'll punish you!"

In Qitian Evil Mountain, a boy and a girl climb high mountains, climb dangerous peaks, wade through valleys, drill deep forests, and support each other to cross mountains and mountains. Although the road is difficult and dangerous, and they must always guard against beasts and poisonous insects, the laughter along the way Even the moment did not stop.

Occasionally bickering and angry, thinking in his heart that he (she) should never be bothered again, but within a few minutes, the poisonous snake that emerged from the treetops could make Sima Jiaonu hide tightly in Guan Ziyang's arms,
Or when a boulder blocked the way, Sima Jiaonu stepped on Guan Ziyang's shoulder and turned over, and then pulled Guan Ziyang up, and they were able to get back together immediately.

The few large pieces of bacon and dry food that Ran Liang prepared for them were sufficient, and they could catch some pheasants and hares along the way. The two traveled during the day, and spent the night in a cave at night. They could also eat delicious supper. The discolored Qi Tian Egui Ridge looks like a happy amusement park for the two of them...

Of course, because of the existence of the Ice Chain, it was inevitable to be a little embarrassing, but as time went by, the two had gradually let go of their defensiveness and shyness.

Although Guan Ziyang felt that he was not a gentleman, he still couldn't do things like taking advantage of others' dangers. Besides, a 30-year-old body contained a [-]-year-old soul, and he could only say that he had a heart. powerless.

Moreover, although Sima Jiaonu looked like a cute loli at the moment, she was not someone Guan Ziyang could bully. When she lost her temper, if she disagreed with her, she would be served by two big golden dragons...

There is no time in the mountains, and the year is unknown in the cold.

The two of them didn't remember how long they had been walking among the vast mountains. One day, when they climbed up a high mountain, they suddenly saw a large golden rice field at the foot of the mountain. The rice grains of the month.

They finally left Qitian Eguiling. The two smiled at each other, held hands, and walked quickly down the mountain. After asking a farmer, they found out that the two had already arrived in Guiyang County, Shixing County, Guangzhou.

The farmer was dressed in foreign costumes, but he spoke authentic Luoyang Mandarin.

The farmer explained that he was an inescapable refugee in the north. Because of the "Crossing the River Order" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he did not dare to go to Yangzhou, Jiangzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, and Yizhou, which are strictly controlled in the Central Plains, so he had to escape all the way to Guangzhou. .

Guan Ziyang has never heard of the "Order of Crossing the River", but throughout the history of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he still knew the family politics of the emperor's bow, the gentry in power, and the refugees' contribution.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Eastern Jin government could not recruit soldiers in Wu, and a large number of refugees from the north and south, ending in the Jianghuai River, became the only reliance of the Eastern Jin Dynasty against Hu. Unexpectedly, it led to Wang Dun's recruitment of refugees. The subsequent rebellion was the famous Wangdun Rebellion in history.

The refugees found their way to the south through hardships and dangers. They were not fettered by the Jiangzuo Eastern Jin regime, and may not be loyal to the Eastern Jin regime. Therefore, the attitude of the Eastern Jin regime towards the refugees has always been ambiguous.

It is necessary to rely on them to fight against Hu, but also afraid that they will cause the next "Wang Dun Rebellion" when they cross the river.

Therefore, this "Crossing the River Order" should be a decree issued by the current Eastern Jin Dynasty to the refugees, which not only appeases them to settle down in Jiangbei Qiaozhou honestly, but also restricts them from crossing the river.

So the farmer detoured to Yizhou and came to the Duan family of the Yao nationality to be a shade household. Although the Duan family is rich, it is not a noble family.
As a 'history buff', Guan Ziyang had never heard of the Guiyang Duan family, and Sima Jiaonu, as a 'native' from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, also said he did not know the Duan family.

The farmer saw that although their clothes were ragged, their temperament and conversation were not like ordinary people at all, and they had a Wu accent, so he led them to meet their master.

Duan's stockade is built on the hillside, not a building in the Central Plains, but "herringbone sheds" one by one. If you look around, there are hundreds of herringbone sheds, large and small, occupying most of the hillside.

Guangzhou was originally a land of barbarians in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Although it was subject to the Eastern Jin government, many local ethnic minorities or large families had a high degree of autonomy. They neither paid taxes to the Eastern Jin Dynasty nor obeyed the Eastern Jin government's orders.

For example, the Duan family, although it is only a commoner family, has more than 20 shady households and hundreds of tenant households in the family.
Being a commoner is not allowed, but at the foot of the Nanling Mountains, where the emperor is far away, the Duan family is completely the local emperor of Guiyang County, and even the county magistrate of Guiyang is also surnamed Duan.

The head of the Duan family is a scar-faced man in his 30s. The Yao people do not select their patriarchs based on their seniority and seniority, but on force and wisdom.

Apart from the patriarch, there were also several old men with white beards who were over half a century old who met Guan Ziyang and Sima Jiaonu. These people called themselves the elders of the Duan family.

Guan Ziyang didn't know the background of the Duan family, so naturally he didn't tell the truth about his identity, he only said that he and Sima Jiaonu were brother and sister, from eastern Hunan.

The Duan family is a big family of the Yao nationality. At that time, Guangzhou was far away from the Central Plains dynasty. It has always been called the Southern Man by the Central Plains people. The productivity level is far lower than that of the Central Plains. However, there are many ethnic minorities in the south, and most of them are hospitable.

Hearing that the two were from Jingzhou, members of the Duan clan invited them to participate in the Panwang Festival they held tonight. The two had a meal and slept in the open air at Qitian Eguiling, so naturally they readily agreed.

The clothes of the two of them were already in tatters in the jungle of Qitian Eguiling. Although it felt unnatural to wear the Yao costumes given by Duan's family, it was very comfortable.

Of course, during the process of the two changing clothes, nakedness was unavoidable, but the two of them naturally changed their clothes with their backs facing each other, and they were no longer embarrassed by it. As for whether Guan Ziyang turned his head secretly, only he knew. It is inconvenient to elaborate...

The clothing of the Yao nationality is quite different from that of the Central Plains. Yao women are good at embroidery, and the skirts, cuffs, and hems of trousers are all embroidered with exquisite patterns.

Looking at Sima Jiaonu dressed in Yao ethnic costumes, her beauty is full of nobility, her beauty is full of heroism, and her beauty is full of childishness. Guan Ziyang has to admit that this Sima Jiao Nu will definitely be a beautiful girl when she grows up. A beauty at the level of disastrous to the country and the people...

As night fell, a huge bonfire was set up in the square. The men and women of the Duan family, old and young, all changed into new clothes that they usually couldn’t bear to wear and gathered around the bonfire. The most important festival of the year.

On the night of the Panwang Festival, the Yao people will gather together to worship their ancestors, eat this year's newly harvested rice, and then dance the Panwang dance, sing folk songs, and sing and dance until the next morning.

Inspired by the lively atmosphere, Guan Ziyang and Sima Jiaonu were invited by two strange Yao women to imitate their movements, joined the team of young men and women around the campfire, and danced the Panwang dance together.

In the midst of the laughter, no one noticed that dozens of red dots were rushing towards them from a distance.

The villages of the Yao people don't have much defensive function. The men of the Yao people hunt for a living, and most of them are brave and good at fighting. The Duan family is the local emperor of Guiyang County. Even the guards danced and danced around the campfire.

Not long after, the red dots in the distance gradually became clear, and the sound of horseshoes could be heard. These dozens of riders held a torch, and without stopping, they crashed into the weak bamboo gate of Duan's village!
The crowd around the bonfire finally realized the arrival of this group of unexpected guests!

Among the dozens of riders, a bald man rushed to the front. He rode his horse fast, laughed and shouted wantonly: "Brothers, let's have fun! Hahahaha..."

After speaking, he took out his big knife and rushed into the panicked Duan family crowd, and cut off the head of a half-old child with one blow. Only then did someone in the family react and shouted: "The bandits are coming!"

The Duan family in the square said there were at least three to five hundred people, but many of them were old people and children who were helpless, and most of them were on the periphery of the crowd.

Most of the young men and women with combat effectiveness danced around the bonfire in the innermost part of the crowd, so it took a while to rush out of the crowd to defend against the enemy. Hundreds of old people and children!

The bandit came suddenly, the Duan family had nothing in their hands, and they couldn't do anything to deal with the vicious bandit. In an instant, more than a dozen people fell under the horse of the bandit. It has become Shura Purgatory!

Killing life and shaking the sky, screaming again and again, wailing everywhere, blood flowing like a river, Guan Ziyang saw the real ancient battlefield for the first time before and after his rebirth!

Although Sima Jiaonu and Guan Ziyang were good at martial arts, there were too many bandits, and they only rushed to kill them on horseback. They were able to protect themselves, but they were too weak to save others.

Fortunately, the Duan family is not a soft persimmon. Seeing the enemy is so violent, the elderly and children will not let go. It is obvious that they are here to slaughter the whole village. The angry young men rushed to the bandits desperately for their lives.

The scar-faced man of the head of the Duan family saw the bald head of the other party's leader, and threw him off the horse with a swoop. Many young men rushed to the bandit next to him desperately after seeing this, and threw the bandit Get off your horse!
Once the bandit got off his horse, he wouldn't be able to get much favor from the crowd. Although the bandit's martial arts were much higher than those of the Duan family, the Duan family had the advantage in numbers. enough.

Sima Jiaonu's golden dragon was already in his hands, and no bandit could make a move under him. The angry Sima Jiaonu slapped one palm, and after a while, he unknowingly rushed into the bandits and killed all directions , without her one-on-one general.

Guan Ziyang wanted to see the situation at first, but after being dragged into the group of bandits by the chain in Sima Jiaonu's hand, he kept using Tai Chi to defend himself, blocking the swords stabbing him and Sima Jiaonu all over his body.

Seeing that these two men were so tough, the bandits began to avoid them, and a large space was cleared around the two of them. Someone among the bandits shouted: "The first master, the second master, there is a stubble here!"

The two bandits who were still on the horse looked at the same time when they heard the words. They put their feet on the horse's back and flew towards Guan Ziyang and the two.

Seeing the actions of these two people, Guan Ziyang's heart tightened, these two are masters!

How could Sima Jiaonu care so much, with a yell, the golden dragon wrapped around his arms became brighter, facing the two flying towards them, he clapped his palms together!

The two were not afraid, one held a knife, the other an empty fist, and the two palms of the boss, Ma Jiaonu, immediately collided with each other, and the three of them retreated a few points at the same time.

At this time, the bandits gathered one after another and leaned behind these two people, and the Duan family also supported each other and hid behind Sima Jiaonu in Guan Ziyang.

The two sides confronted each other.
