Peach and plum spring breeze and a glass of wine

Yang Ge sat outside the courtyard gate, resting his head on the door frame, squinting at the sunset on the horizon. The smell of grass and earth lingered in front of his nose, and the noise of insects and birds echoed in his ears...

He felt tired and also felt the long-lost peace.

…

The next day, the sky just turned white.

The Yang family couple who got up early and went to the fields opened the door and saw that the hillside next to their yard had turned into a flat foundation with fresh soil. Yang Ge, wearing a coat, grabbed the stone roller they used to grind millet and stood there. The foundation was pounded up and down.

This scene shocked the couple. They just collected the money and sold the land to Yang Ge last night. Even before the deed was issued, he leveled the foundation overnight?

"Second baby!"

Yang Dashan rubbed his eyes vigorously and walked out of the house, looking at the flat foundation that was more than an acre wide in disbelief, and said in a voiceless voice: "Did you do this alone?"

"Brother Shan, it's good morning."

Yang Ge smiled and waved: "Didn't I tell you yesterday? I have practiced a few tricks of the crop, and it is normal to have strength."

Yang Dashan saw that he was holding a stone roller weighing several hundred kilograms with one hand as easily as he was grabbing a light bulb. He swallowed hard and said in a nagging voice: "Is this really normal?"

Yang Ge smiled and said: "It's normal. Do you think I am very strong?"

He also grew up in the countryside. Even if he didn't know much about the bad things happening in the countryside, he had heard about it. In the eyes of the people in the village, he, Yang Ge, was a foreigner who came here to take root alone...

A little help can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"It's quite big!"

Yang Dashan clicked his tongue and said in wonder: "With your strength, you don't even need oxen to plow the land, right?"

Maybe Yang Ge told him last night that his ancestors came out of their bay. Yang Dashan treated Yang Ge very easily, without the kind of exclusion and defensiveness that locals treat foreigners.

Yang Ge laughed and said: "That's definitely not necessary. How can a cow be as nimble as me... By the way, Brother Shan, where is your firewood forest? I need wood to build a house, so you can sell me some wood!" "

Yang Dashan pointed sideways at the hillside behind him: "This firewood forest belongs to our family. You can cut as much wood as you want, and forget about the money. You gave me enough last night... Do you want to help?"

"No need, I'm strong, I can go alone."

Yang Ge smiled and shook his head: "But the money still has to be given. Brothers will settle the score!"

"By the way, let's see if we are free today or tomorrow. We two brothers will go find someone to settle down with. We can go to the village or the town."

Yang Dashan: "This matter is important. Let's go to the clan in the afternoon and ask the clan elder to be a middle man. You can also check the genealogy. Maybe you can find out the name of your ancestor? That's it. Go home?"

"Why!"

Yang Ge said casually: "Then I'll trouble Brother Shan."

After a pause, he asked again: "Brother Shan, do you want to renovate your yard? Anyway, I am working on it. If your house needs to be renovated, we two brothers can do it together. I have strong strength and quick hands and feet. It can be done in five or two days.”

Yang Dashan looked back at his old, short and old house, and said with some hesitation: "How troublesome it is for you..."

"does not exist!"

Yang Ge waved his hand grandly: "If you don't speak the same language as one family, you first think about what you want to do. Once you have thought about it, let me know and I will do it for you!"

"OK!"

Yang Dashan said no more. He turned around and shouted to his mother-in-law who was lighting the fire in the stove: "Old Huang, put more rice in the pot. The second son has to work hard and eat more food..."

"Why!"

The eldest sister-in-law of the Yang family, who was listening to the two brothers chatting outside the kitchen room, responded angrily.

Yang Ge smiled and said, "Thanks, Brother Shan."

Yang Dashan waved his hand grandly: "One family does not speak the language of two families!"

After breakfast, the three members of the Yang family went to the fields when they needed to and herded cattle when they needed to.

Yang Ge waited until the family of three had gone away, then walked outside the foundation with a stone roller in one hand, raised his fist and smashed it vertically against the foundation.

"Bang."

There was a muffled sound, the ground shook slightly, and the foundation sank three feet out of thin air.

Seeing this, Yang Ge slapped the earth slope next to the foundation with his palm. The earth slope collapsed, and a large piece of fresh soil slid into the foundation.

Yang Ge once again clenched his fist and struck lightly in the air.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

There was a dense dull sound, and the uneven foundation quickly became smooth like the dough under the hands of a pastry chef.

When the foundation became flat again, he punched it hard again.

Only a "bang" sound was heard, and the foundation sank another two feet.

Yang Ge once again slapped away the soil slope next to him, tilting the soil into the foundation...

After repeating this cycle three times, the flat foundation was just half a foot higher than Yang Dashan's yard. As long as another circle of stone strips was built, the foundation would not be soaked by rainwater.

Yang Ge walked into the foundation, and the experimenter stamped his feet. The force feedback from his feet told him that the soil layers 20 to 30 meters deep under his feet were condensed into one, as hard as stone... On this foundation, build a seven or eight-story building. Tall buildings are stable!

He clapped his hands with satisfaction, looked around, saw no one around, and jumped into the sky...

After a while, a golden light reached slightly above the foundation, and two square stones fell gently and turned back.

When the Yang family of three went home to have lunch, they were shocked to find that Yang Ge on one side had not only laid the foundation, but also completed the beams and columns of the three two-story tile-roofed houses. He only needed to build the earth walls and roofs. As soon as he goes up to the green tiles, his courtyard is considered completed...

Are all people who practice martial arts so agile with their hands and feet?

…

Less than half a month later, Yang Ge was sitting comfortably in his yard basking in the sun in a coat, thinking about what daily necessities he needed to add to the house.

The layout of this courtyard was based on that of the small courtyard on Chaimen Street in Luting. However, the overall layout was clearer and more open, the earthen walls were thicker and stronger, and the living room, bedrooms and storage rooms were subdivided. As for the functional space, unlike the small courtyard on Chaimen Street, there is only one living room, and you can see the bed as soon as you enter the room.

He is very satisfied!

"Second baby..."

Yang Dashan passed by his house with a hoe and saw him sitting lazily in the yard basking in the sun. He put down the hoe angrily and scolded: "Even if you are rich, it's not a big deal to be idle like this every day." Son? Why don't you go to the clan and discuss it with the clan elders? It's a pity that you don't have the strength to farm!"

Farmers who are responsible for their duties do not want to see others idle around.

"Brother Shan, just let me rest for a while."

Yang Ge wailed feebly: "I have been running around everywhere in the past few years. I have been too tired. Finally, the fallen leaves have returned to their roots. I really don't want to move anymore... After a while, I will go to the clan elders to discuss buying land. ”

Yang Dashan babbled: "If you don't farm, you can also go to the market to buy some chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep to feed. It's still an income. Farmers can't think about spending money to live. There are gold and silver mountains, and there are also flowers." What a bright day!”

"Okay, okay..."

Yang Ge covered his face: "I'll go to the town to have a look when I turn around."

Seeing that he realized his mistake, Yang Dashan picked up the hoe with satisfaction: "Okay... Look at your cold pot and cold stove. Isn't it still here at noon? Come over later when the food is ready. Don't get yelled at when you come back!"

Yang Ge: "Yes, yes, thank you Brother Shan, thank you sister-in-law!"

Yang Dashan laughed, picked up the hoe and strolled home... His yard has also been renovated. It has a similar layout to Yang Ge's yard. The two yards sit side by side facing north and south, just like two brothers. .

After he left, Yang Ge sat in the yard and thought for a while. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still. He stood up and strode out the door: "Brother Shan, don't cook me my lunch. I'm going to the town..."

Yang Dashan next door heard the sound and chased him out, but was there anyone in front of Yang Ge's house?

A quarter of an hour later, on the streets of Linjiang County.

Yang Ge was sitting in a small restaurant, enjoying a pot of pickled fish that was not very authentic.

He was thinking about what he would buy to go home later when he suddenly heard two diners dressed as scholars at the next table talking in crickets: "Have you heard? Yang Zaixian of Guizhou defeated the imperial army... …”

"Have you heard about it too? Let me tell you, all the soldiers and generals in the imperial court are useless, just one..."

"Shh, can you please lower your voice? You want to die but I still want to live!"

"Are you afraid of a hammer? Our Lord Liu and Yang Zaixian are not in the same boat. The imperial court sent troops to fight against rebellion, and Lord Liu responded to the call and went to obey the order!"

"Now and then, the imperial court was defeated..."

Yang Ge slowly frowned, slapped his chopsticks on the table expressionlessly, and shouted loudly: "Store, check out."

"coming……"

After coming out of the small restaurant, Yang Ge found a deserted corner, roughly identified the direction, and jumped up.

…

In the evening, Guizhou Yang Zaixian's headquarters was set up.

"The first step is a sure one!"

Yang Zaixian, who was wearing a helmet and carrying a golden sword, stood on top of the commander's tent with his big horse and golden sword, and scolded Fang Qiu: "Now it depends on whether the imperial court can afford the price!"

With less than 100,000 troops, the Southwest Chieftains Alliance broke through the blockade of the three armies of the imperial court and toyed with 300,000 imperial soldiers and horses as if walking a dog through the barren mountains and rivers of the southwest. He was so proud!

"That's what it means..."

Under the tent, the Golden Envoy of Louwailou, who was still wearing a black outfit and a black iron mask, shook his head in a steady voice and said slowly: "But it can't be done like this."

Yang Zaixian pondered for a few breaths, then suddenly smiled and said: "You still have to retreat in order to advance, that's easy to say, right?"

The golden envoy gave him a thumbs up: "It saves trouble to talk to smart people!"

"You should lower your posture now and speak politely to the court. People in the world will look high on you, and the second master will look high on you. It's yours. Even if the court doesn't give it to you, the second master will remember it in his heart. "

"But if you are aggressive, even if the court pinches its nose and lowers its head for the sake of the overall situation, people in the world will still regard you as bandits, and it will ruin the second master's good opinion of you. Even if you can win more With so much profit, sooner or later you have to pay it forward with the profit..."

Yang Zaixian nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand, you can't do business at a loss!"

The envoy Jin nodded: "It's good that the general has a sense of control. Next, please make sure to restrain the generals under his command. Don't do anything irrational at this juncture... In the eyes of the second master, you can't do anything irrational." Can’t rub the sand!”

After hearing this, Yang Zaixian solemnly clasped his fists and raised his hands: "Please put it down, Ambassador Jin. Yang has long been talking to the heads of the families to death. If anyone harms the people at this juncture, I, Yang, will not tolerate him, and neither will the Southwest." !”

After hearing this, Ambassador Jin stood up and was about to say goodbye when he suddenly heard a loud shout from outside the door: "Who is it?"

"Here comes someone, there is a thorn..."

Before he finished speaking, two figures flew upside down into the handsome tent.

The two of them stared at each other in horror, and saw a tall young man wearing linen clothes, wearing mille-layer cloth shoes, with his long hair tied back casually with a hair rope, striding into the handsome tent with bare hands.

As soon as the Jin envoy saw the appearance of the visitor, he immediately froze on the spot, not daring to speak or move.

He had a mask on his face, and Yang Zaixian failed to notice anything unusual about him. Yang Zaixian glanced at the two guards shouting in pain under the tent, and then listened to the sound of footsteps coming from around him. He bravely stood up and clasped his fists, saying: " Friend, which way is it?"

Yang Ge glanced at him expressionlessly, then turned to look at the envoy Jin who dared not move at all: "People from the building outside the building?"

The golden envoy clasped his fists with trembling hands: "Hui, Hui Er..."

"Snapped."

Yang Ge slapped him with a backhand, knocking off the mask on his face: "Did I not speak clearly, or did you fail to convey my words clearly?"

The golden envoy spun around in a circle, neither daring to cover his face nor picking up the mask on the ground. He bowed his head respectfully, clasped his palms together and said, "I know you're wrong, please punish me!"

At the right time, a large number of guards rushed into the commander's tent with swords and guns, shouting and surrounding Yang Ge.

The shouts and roars came one after another, causing Yang Ge to stamp his feet in frustration, unleashing a powerful force and knocking all the soldiers who rushed in to the ground.

The countless shouts and roars that were fierce a second ago suddenly turned into the sound of pain and wailing all over the ground.

"Silence!"

Yang Ge spoke softly, but the sound he spat out sounded like a thunderbolt in the ears of everyone around him.

And his eyes were on Jin Shi from beginning to end: "Give me a reason!"

The bowed Jin Shi was covered in sweat, his legs were shaking violently and completely uncontrollably, racking his brains as he thought and replied: "Young man, I don't dare to deceive the second master. The second master ordered me to do it in the building." General Yang brought the message, and it was General Yang who came to inform me. He knew that he was an upright and upright man. "

"This time the second master ordered us to inform General Yang to stop the war and restore peace to the world. When I arrived here, it happened that General Yang's troops were forced into a desperate situation by the imperial court and were about to be defeated, but secretly they were doing this. A strategy to confuse the enemy by showing him weakness and luring him deeper."

"If General Yang was forced to surrender to the imperial court at that time, not only would it be difficult for the hundreds of thousands of good men from the southwest under his command to die well, but the second master would also be under great pressure from the imperial court. The young man was blinded by lard for a while and boldly surrendered to the imperial court. I gave General Yang a chance to give it a try, thinking that if General Yang could fight to a draw with the imperial army, tens of thousands of southwestern men would have a good death, and the second master would not be under too much pressure from the imperial court..."

"You judge a gentleman with a villain's heart, which goes against the Second Master's original intention of planning for the world and the people's livelihood. Please punish the Second Master!"

Yang Ge turned back expressionlessly, looked directly at Yang Zaixian who was wiping sweat from his tent, pointed at the envoy Jin and asked, "Is what he said true?"

The invisible yet tangible heavy pressure made him panic. Although he was surrounded by thousands of troops, he was naked and surrounded by wolves.

But in the face of Yang Ge's inquiry, he still held up his fists and said: "Qi, Qi, second master, what Jin Shi said is generally true, but at the beginning, he begged Jin Jin again and again, asking him to give me one from the three southwest provinces. When I had the opportunity to negotiate with the imperial court, Ambassador Jin temporarily softened his heart and gave me this opportunity."

"All the mistakes were made by Yang Zaixian. Ambassador Jin has been loyal to the second master from beginning to end and thinks about him all the time. Please forgive him this time for the sake of his sincerity." , Yang Zaixian is willing to take full responsibility for his sins!"

Yang Ge sneered coldly: "You guys are so brave!"

Jin Shi: "I'm sorry!"

Yang Zaixian: "I'm so ashamed!"

Yang Ge pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the envoy Jin: "Go back and tell your Taoist master to find you a seat at the gate. If you let me hear you causing trouble again, you will bear the consequences!"

The golden envoy seemed to have been granted amnesty, and nodded repeatedly: "You know your mistake, I thank you for your mercy!"

Yang Ge turned back to look at Yang Zaixian: "If you want to take responsibility, I will give you a chance to take responsibility. I don't care how you talk to the court later or what the outcome will be for other chieftains. You, Yang Zaixian, will be crucified in Northern Xinjiang for the rest of your life. If you dare to take another step out of Northern Xinjiang, you will be responsible for the consequences!"

After saying that, he turned around and turned into a ray of golden light that swept out of the handsome tent and soared into the sky.

Yang Zaixian stared out of the handsome tent with his mouth open, and murmured to himself in disbelief: "He really just left with a 'whoosh'..."

The golden messenger smiled bitterly and straightened up, like a drowning man coming ashore, trembling all over, wiping sweat and breathing heavily.

"Jin Envoy, was implicated by Yang..."

Yang Zaixian turned around with a look of shame on his face and cupped his fists at the envoy Jin.

Jin Shi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't blame you, I underestimated the second master's determination."

He originally thought that as long as the result was good, even if there were some twists and turns in the process, the second master wouldn't take it too seriously.

Never thought that what was placed on the scale in Er Ye's heart was actually human life...

He doesn't look like a big shot at all!

"Maybe this is the reason why the second master is the second master..."

Yang Zaixian also smiled bitterly and said, "It is said that seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. Today he has seen what a first-class person is."

Compared to a person like the Second Master, Yang Zaixian's heart is too petty!

He is simply not worthy of being on the table!

"Brother Yang...don't worry too much."

The Golden Envoy hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice and whispered: "The Second Master's meaning just now is not to let you go to the Northern Frontier to die, but to let you settle down in the Northern Frontier and never return to the southwest."

The bitterness on Yang Zaixian's face became more and more intense: "I know."
