On the Nanming River, Qiyun Pavilion. A boulder, like a legendary giant tortoise, is lying firmly in the middle of the water, and the small bridge is like two open tortoise fins, fluttering towards the two banks. A small pavilion was built on the back of the "Juao", with high corners, as if it wanted to fly away.
There is a banquet in the pavilion, which is the seat of important figures such as Wang Haoming, the inspector, and Cui Xiangsheng, a great scholar in the south of the Yangtze River. There are also more than a dozen seats on the big stone outside the pavilion, like flower petals, just surrounding Qiyun Pavilion in the middle.
There were also many seats set up on the forest grassland on both sides of the small bridge, and the grand occasion was unprecedented, just like the scene when Wang Yangming's second disciple and master of the mind, Ma Tingxi, gave lectures here.
Ye Xiaotian got off the car with Xia Yingying not far from the Nanming River, and saw many scholars rushing excitedly ahead, Ye Xiaotian said: "There are so many people coming today, I don't know anything about it, Yingying, Cui Yingying Master is having a banquet here, can scholars go to the appointment by themselves?"
Yingying said: "Of course not! What about Wang Yacha's high-ranking officials? How can all idlers come in."
Ye Xiaotian said strangely: "Oh? Then can you and I get in?"
"ah!"
Xia Yingying suddenly realized the slip of the tongue, and hurriedly corrected it: "Of course, my family is a local rich family. With so many people in my family, who would be rude? Especially these officials from other places are very fond of our local rich family. Otherwise, they can stand? This time they invited several old people from Guiyang."
Ye Xiaotian thought so too, but in other places, most of the sons of the families have achieved fame, so they have great prestige in the local area. If the local officials want to gain a foothold in the local area, they have to win over these local big families. In some places, the local big families who are too powerful may even In turn, they can bully local officials.
It's just that culture and education are not flourishing in Guizhou, and the power of the family does not lie in fame. Yingying's family has such a large population, of course they have a considerable voice in their village and even the tribe. Ye Xiaotian said: "Then your father must be one of the elders."
Yingying said sweetly: "My grandpa is the one, but grandpa didn't come today, so I asked my dad to attend for him." The two of them approached the bank of Nanming River, and a few government servants came up to them and said, "Stop!" !According to the Inquisitor, adults are here to entertain guests, and the idlers should stay away!"
What the yamen servants said was quite polite. After all, the local ethnic groups live together. If it is not Han, even if it is just an inconspicuous little person, once a dispute arises, one person will lead to a family, and a family will lead to a village. In the end, the entire tribe If they all go into battle, they can't eat and walk away.
Xiao Lu raised the invitation card in his hand and said, "We are here for a banquet."
A Yacha took a look at the invitation from the girl from Xiaolu, frowned and said, "Why do you bring such a big beast with you? Once it gets wild..."
Yaoyao hugged the big man's thick legs and said: "The big man can't do it, the big man is the best."
Xiaowei said: "Don't worry, this giant ape is very human, and we don't go to the rocks, we just sit on the shore."
The clerk hesitated for a moment, and said: "Then you have to watch them carefully, don't cause any troubles, the people sitting on the rocks are all nobles, if something happens, we are unlucky, and you can't afford it. "Several yamen servants said to get out of the way, and Ye Xiaotian and others walked over.

Tian Miaowen plucked the strings again and again, with a thoughtful expression on her face, the bead curtain suddenly slammed, and a handsome and handsome young man floated in from outside. Tian Miaowen didn't look back, and there was no other person who dared to walk into her room without being notified except her brother.
Seeing that Tian Miaowen ignored him coming in, Tian Binfei couldn't help but smiled, waving the folding fan lightly, walked to the side gracefully, and sat on the chair, Tian Binfei had long been accustomed to the girl's indifference to him.
Tian Binfei sat down and said to Tian Miaowen: "Little sister, are you fighting for the post of Huxian county magistrate?"
Tian Miaowen said indifferently: "Not bad!"
Tian Binfei frowned slightly, and said: "For us, it can be said that it is located in a remote area and borders Huguang. How could you suddenly think of that small third-class county? Put our people in the Chief Secretary or the Wouldn't the punishment be more beneficial to us?"
Tian Miaowen said: "Didn't you pin the hope of my Tian family's resurgence on Yang Yinglong? You are the outsider, and you decide the overall situation. Since you want to use Yang Yinglong to achieve your goal, naturally I, the people in the host, can only do our best to cooperate and choose Hu County is for this purpose."
Tian Binfei was even more puzzled, and asked, "How could it be..."
His voice stopped, and after a moment of silence, he stood up suddenly, strode to the front of the hall, lightly pressed on the shelf, and a map marked with various colors hung down with a swipe, Tian Binfei After staring at the map for a long time, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "I understand!"
Tian Binfei turned to Tian Miaowen excitedly, and said happily: "Buzi Yu Hu County is really a good move. This Hu County is located at the north-south hub, and it is the key point of the post road. Once it is closed, the whole of Guizhou will be impenetrable." , and the tens of thousands of troops in the southern border will completely cut off contact with the imperial court.
Yang Yinglong is ambitious and has big plans. He will never let go of such an important place. Our Buzi is in Hu County at the right time. Miaowen, it's a pity that you are a woman, otherwise I would be willing to let you take over my Tian family. Great cause, willingly for your drive. "
Tian Miaowen slightly closed her beautiful eyes, meditated for a moment, and said slowly: "My arrangement is just an adjustment I made in time after hearing your plan. If Yang Yinglong had already made arrangements for Hu County, I'm afraid we will do it now. It's a bit late. I want to go to Huxian personally to find out."
Tian Binfei was slightly taken aback, and then said in a half-joking tone: "I'm going to Hu County, the mountain road is rugged, and it's inconvenient to travel. You are my good helper. You don't sit in the mansion and leave me alone to manage the big situation. Not in a hurry?"
Tian Miaowen said: "If your judgment is correct, then Hu County is the key to breaking the situation in the future, how can you take it lightly?" She turned around slowly, stared at her brother and said: "You have never been convinced by Yang Yinglong, How did Yang Yinglong rule Bozhou?"
A trace of haze flitted across Tian Binfei's face, she suddenly closed the folding fan, slapped it in the palm of her hand, and said: "Success! You go, I only hope that you and I will work together to let the Tian family be in our hands." Rejuvenate, don't let the ancestors down, don't let the descendants bear this heavy responsibility again!"
Tian Miaowen didn't speak, just lowered her head, flicked her slender fingers, and a song "Plum Blossom Introduction" played leisurely. Tian Binfei closed her eyes and listened quietly for a long time. When the sound of the piano was lingering and the lingering lingering lingering, she gently got up and floated away like a cloud...

On Qianling Mountain, in the deep forest, the singing of birds and flowers constitutes a beautiful picture of vivid color and fragrance. Yang Yinglong was walking slowly while leaning on a bamboo stick. A few monkeys were climbing on the trees, watching him with monkey heads, but as soon as Yang Yinglong raised his head, the clever monkeys quickly climbed to a higher place, and then turned their heads. Making faces at him, as if complacent, Yang Yinglong couldn't help laughing when he saw it.
Zhao Xin was by his side, dozens of guards were scattered in the forest, with Yang Yinglong as the center, moving forward synchronously, seeing Yang Yinglong stop, they all stopped too.
Yang Yinglong sat down on a thick withered tree stretching across the ground, and asked with a smile: "The feast of resting clouds must have already begun, can you arrange for Wen Yuan to go?"
Zhao Xin said: "The humble job has been arranged by someone."
Yang Yinglong nodded, and said: "Although Wen Yuan's future does not depend on that rotten scholar surnamed Cui, there is nothing wrong with making friends with him. It would be better if you can worship under his sect and be his disciple. Yes. With Cui Xiangsheng's signature, Yu Wenyuan's official career will be of great help."
Zhao Yun said: "Yes, my lord has considered the long-term."
Zhao Yun also sat down beside her and said, "My lord, three years ago when Huling dismissed the chieftain, re-established the official yamen, and established the county system, I suggested that you start the deployment, but your lord vetoed it. Why did you suddenly think of Huxian today?"
Yang Yinglong sighed softly, and said: "Three years ago, when the two chieftains of Hu County fought, the imperial court took the opportunity to intervene, deposed the hereditary positions of the two chieftains, established the county government office, and set up officials. When we focus on Hu County, how can we act rashly
If I have to, I still don't want to get involved in Hu County now, just let it go, as long as the court doesn't hold Hu County firmly in its hands, that's enough. My original plan was to support Ge Gewo first, control the Gu God Sect, and firmly grasp hundreds of thousands of mountain seedlings in my hands after ten years of hard work, but it was a pity that the success failed. "
Yang Yinglong was silent for a while, then smiled again, and said: "Fortunately, I didn't think that my relationship in Jingzhou would leave behind my flesh and blood, and she still has such a complicated relationship with the current venerable.
Yaoyao is the bone of my bones and the flesh of my flesh, so can she still rebel against her biological father? In this way, I have to slowly figure out the Gu God Sect. In this case, Huxian can only start as soon as possible. If both sides slow down, it will be extremely detrimental to my major affairs. "
Zhao Xinruo realized something, nodded slowly and said, "I understand."
Yang Yinglong suddenly asked: "What happened to that old fox in An's family?"
Zhao Xin said: "Following my lord's order, I have sent someone to keep an eye on 'Da Zhai Ji'. That old guy has been unable to shrink back, and I don't know what he wants to do."
Yang Yinglong frowned and said, "Why did this old fellow come here?"
Yang Yinglong thought for a while, but still couldn't figure out what to do, so he shook his head and continued walking up the mountain.
On the upper reaches of the "Ju'ao" on the Nanming River, half a mile away from the "Ju'ao" on a rock hanging on the water, a white-haired old man wearing a bamboo hat is holding a fishing rod with a leisurely look, and there is a young man not far behind. Standing with hands behind his back, he looks like a domestic servant, but if an acquaintance sees him, he will recognize him. He is An Nantian, the eldest son of the An family's generation. In this way, who is the old man fishing with a pole? up.
The float suddenly moved, and a fish bit the hook. The old man quickly lifted the fishing rod, and a palm-sized silver fish landed on the rock alive and kicking. An Nantian immediately stepped forward, took the fish off the hook and threw it Entering the fish basket, he said with a smile, "Grandpa's luck is really good, the fish that bit the hook have not been broken for a while."
An Guowei smiled slightly, his old and wise eyes swept slightly from under the bamboo hat to the small pavilion on the Juao stone, and said slowly: "If there is a chance, please invite the venerable kid, the old man wants to see him !” After saying that, he flicked the fishing rod and threw it into the water again...
