(XX website www.xxx.***)(XX website www.xxx.***)(XX website www.xxx.***) There is a forest more than a hundred miles away from Yizhou City, surrounded by green water and pine and cypresses. There is a manor in the middle. It is said that the land within a radius of dozens of miles is owned by the manor, but this manor is very strange. It does not farm, but only trees are planted around the manor. Over the years, there has been a dense forest outside the manor.

On this day, there were bursts of gongs and drums, and from the black manor gate, the pink and white walls to the ridges of the high houses in the courtyard, they were all covered with red colors. The whole manor was immersed in a joyful atmosphere.

In the front hall, the large table was filled with delicacies, but there were only two people on the table. Tian Hu was smiling and urging a middle-aged man in a vermilion brocade robe to drink, "Today is my father's birthday. Lord Chen should have fun, enjoy it!"

The one who is called Lord Chen by Tian Hu is the Chief Chen of Gaizhou. He has been in office in Gaizhou for nearly ten years and has an extraordinary relationship with Tian Hu. Today, Tian’s father’s birthday is about to come and promote the fun.

"Brother Tian, ​​don't be polite, are we brothers still divided each other?" Chen Zhizhou said with a smile, and while speaking, he drank the wine in the glass.

Tian Hu laughed: "Mr. Chen is indeed generous! He has a good alcohol tolerance! He is so arrogant! Haha!"

Chen Zhizhou smiled and shook his head: "Brother Tian, ​​don't compliment me, compare your alcohol tolerance with you? Isn't that telling me to be ugly?"

Tian Hu smiled and said, "Adults are literati. How can I compare myself with adults? Among literati, the alcohol tolerance of adults is only seen by Tian!"

Chen Zhizhou was also slightly proud and smiled and said, "This is true, but few of his colleagues are my opponents!"

While joking, a servant hurriedly ran into Tian Hu's ear and whispered a few words in Tian Hu's ear. Tian Hu nodded slightly and turned to Chen Zhizhou and said, "Sir, please wait a moment, brothers change their clothes."

Chen Zhizhou nodded, Tian Hu reaped his respects, got up and walked towards the back hall. As soon as his body turned, the smile on his face immediately dissipated. When he entered the back hall, his face was already ashen. There was only one middle-aged Wensheng dressed in the back hall, closing his eyes to ponder. He could hear Tian Hu's footsteps, and the Taoist opened his eyes and sighed.

Tian Hu stood firm in front of the Taoist priest and frowned and said, "Why did sir sigh?"

The Taoist priest said: "Brother Tian is so frank. Recently, my brother has been very unwise, so he should be quiet."

Tian Hu snorted, reached out and pulled a chair, and sat heavily, "Mr. I think it's not appropriate to go to rob Wujiazhuang today?"

The Taoist priest nodded and said seriously: "Brother Tian must not be impulsive and ruin his great foundation!"

Tian Hu was angry after hearing the Taoist priest's words and stood up: "Why am I impulsive? Can we die in vain for hundreds of brothers? What is it that ruining our foundation? It's even more nonsense! Mr. Qiao, what should I do?" This Taoist priest was Tian Hu's counselor Qiao Daoqing. The news of Sun An's destruction came back. Tian Hu's eyes turned dark and almost fainted. He even cried on the spot. Sun An was the subordinate who was most valued by Tian Hu. After Sun An broke Sun An, Tian Hu felt as if he had lost his right-hand man. Why didn't he be sad or angry?

However, although Tian Hu was angry, he did not recklessly take revenge. Instead, he ordered people to collect information from Wujiazhuang. Only then did he know that Wujiazhuang was equipped with a large number of imperial guards. When Zhujiazhuang formed an alliance with him, he thought that he was afraid that he would be timid and his words were not true. He did not say anything about the possible background of Wujiazhuang. This led to his carelessness and only sent 500 elite troops to attack Wujiazhuang at night, and the entire army was gone.

Tian Hu wanted to drink blood and eat meat and meat from Zhu family, but the Zhu family was killed. No matter how much hatred or scolded, it would be useless. He could only send his anger to Wujiazhuang and recall his brothers one after another these days. Tonight is the day when all the men slaughter Wujiazhuang. Now there are three or two thousand people gathered in the backyard of Tian family manor. Tian Hu was about to flatten Wujiazhuang in one fell swoop. The warriors under his command naturally rubbed their fists and were full of revenge for Sun An and others. Especially Sun Sheng and Bian Xiang, who had a good relationship with Sun An, were holding their breath to go to Wujiazhuang to vent their anger.

However, what made Tian Hu dissatisfied was that Qiao Daoqing, the number one adviser under his command, kept persuading him. Yan Dao Tian Hu was very unwise in his actions and tried every means to persuade Tian Hu to change his mind. However, Tian Hu had already decided, so how could Qiao Daoqing change his mind with just a few words? Seeing Qiao Daoqing speak coldly again, Tian Hu couldn't help but be furious and glared at Qiao Daoqing for the first time.

The Taoist priest stared at Tian Hu but said nothing.

Tian Hu also glared at Qiao Daoqing, but after a while, he finally sighed and sat back on the chair, and his tone also calmed down: "Sir, Tian Hu respects you, and always obeys everything. But this time Tian really cannot be as calm as Mr. Tian Hu. Mr. is an expert in the world and treats human life as grass, but Tian Hu regards brothers as brothers, and his hands and feet are broken. How can Tian Hu not be angry? I am sure to win Wujiazhuang!"

Qiao Daoqing sighed: "It turns out that Brother Tian thought Qiao was an unintentional person? The brothers died, but Qiao did not feel pain? Qiao did not hate him? Brother Tian's words made Qiao's heart cold!"

Tian Hu said: "Since the sir also hates me, why do you have to stop me from taking revenge? Could it be that the blood of the brothers is in vain?"

Qiao Daoqing shook his head and said, "Revenge? But this is not the way to do it. Brother Tian, ​​if we don't say that Wujiazhuang is well-equipped, can we succeed? How many brothers will we lose if we succeed by luck? Even if Brother Tian is protected by God, he will not hurt a soldier and a soldier and get Wujiazhuang, so what?"

Tian Hu snorted: "How? I will kill Wujiazhuang without leaving any other children!"

Qiao Daoqing said: "What's the matter?"

Tian Hu was stunned, "What then?"

Qiao Daoqing said: "How can Brother Tian deal with the aftermath after destroying Wujiazhuang? Judging from the methods of Wujiazhuang to deal with Zhujiazhuang, the owner of the manor is not an idle person. Brother Tian never thought about how he would take revenge?"

Tian Hu snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid he won't come. I'll just want his head!"

Qiao Daoqing smiled bitterly and said, "What's wrong with Brother Tian today? It is said that a wise man will have a mistake, but Brother Tian is blinded by hatred. Alas, no wonder he must go to the Wujiazhuang to slaughter blood..."

Tian Hu became angry again: "Sir, please make sure you say it clearly! Why is what I said wrong?"

Qiao Daoqing said: "How could the owner of Wu Zhuang lead the crowd to revenge like a big brother? Qiao was worried that he would use the power of the official family. It seems that he has a foundation in Zhending Mansion..."

Tian Hu waved his hand: "So what? This is Gaizhou, and Chen Zhizhou is even more of our own. No matter how powerful he is in Zhending Mansion, he can't care about Gaizhou!"

Qiao Daoqing said: "Brother Tian, ​​don't forget how his military equipment came. I think he has a very small relationship with the imperial guards of Daming Prefecture! Although Daming Prefecture can't control the affairs of our Gaizhou, there is no need to worry too much, but it can be seen from it that this person is not a simple local tyrant, and he is afraid he has a great background. If you want to deal with such a person, you cannot act recklessly based on momentary indignation, and you need to make a decision and act later!"

Tian Hu was not a reckless person, but was just angry by Sun Andi's death and lost his innocence. Hearing Qiao Daoqing telling the story in a simple and easy way, he couldn't help but think silently.

"I'll go and accompany Chen Zhizhou. I'll talk about this later!" Tian Hu stood up and said.

Qiao Daoqing sighed: "For some reason, Qiao felt uneasy. Brother Tian would better send Chen Zhizhou quickly and dismiss the brothers!"

Tian Hu said in surprise: "What?"

Qiao Daoqing said: "Thousands of armed shopkeepers gathered in the villa. If the news leaked, this matter could be big or small, and it would be a big deal. Even if we gathered people to rebel, it would be fine!"

Tian Hu laughed: "Mr. Qiao is too cautious. How could this matter be leaked? After today, the brothers have disbanded. We have had many activities before. Is it because I haven't seen a lot of big events for a long time and I'm already timid?"

Qiao Daoqing smiled and shook her head: "I'm afraid that's the case, alas!"

Tian Hu returned to the front hall, and Chen Zhizhou was waiting impatiently and said with a smile: "Brother Tian has been there for a long time!" Tian Hu smiled and apologized. The two of them chatted and laughed, and they exchanged cups. As they spoke, Chen Zhizhou suddenly said: "Brother Tian must be more cautious recently!"

Tian Hu was shocked. Could it be that Sun An and others were exposed to attack Wujiazhuang? Or was he heard the news of his attempt to lead the people to slaughter Wujiazhuang?

Just as he was surprised and confused, he heard Chen Zhizhou say again: "The king has been making trouble recently. Several officials have been demoted. The situation of Daming Mansion is changing. I also heard that several generals in the Imperial Army were implicated. Hehe, the direct line of the Lord Zhongshu is almost passive!"

Tian Hu felt a little relieved, but he said wonderingly: "What does this have to do with Tian?"

Chen Zhizhou said: "There is not a big deal. But at this time, the Daming Mansion is changing, and the Hebei officialdom is also in full swing. At this moment, Brother Tian is more careful in his business. Don't be caught by those who are interested!"

Only then did Tian Hu realize that the Hebei officialdom was reshuffling after the trouble, and Chen Zhizhou was afraid that he would reveal his secrets and would be taken to his opponent for making trouble.

Tian Hu smiled: "Don't worry, sir, Tian Hu will pay attention!"

Chen Zhizhou nodded with satisfaction: "Brother Tian also knows my relationship with Lord Zhongshu. Recently, Lord Zhongshu came to a letter and said that he would recommend me as the Transportation Commissioner of Hebei West Road in front of the saint. It would be a certain letter in a few days. After staying in Gaizhou for a long time, I really feel reluctant to let go!" He sighed, as if he was reluctant to let go of Gaizhou, but his face was full of lust.

Tian Hu said happily: "Mr. Gong Xi is very successful!" The fortune commander is in charge of all the financial resources, so he is so fat that he cannot be more fertile. Moreover, the fortune commander is in charge of tea, salt, etc. During this promotion, Tian Hu is like a tiger. If Chen Zhizhou really helps with all his strength, Tian Hu will be rich in supply from now on, and I am afraid that there will be no salt gang in the world to compete with Tian Hu. No wonder Tian Hu looks happier than Chen Zhizhou.

Chen Zhizhou smiled: "Don't spread this matter, just be sure if you know it and I know it!"

Tian Hu nodded repeatedly.

Chen Zhizhou put the jig of the mouth into his mouth and chewed, "Let me put what Brother Tian should do in business these days. The future is long. If it is not on this day or two, there will be no mistakes at the critical moment."

Tian Hu said: "That's natural. Brothers turned around and ordered them to stop their business." He even put aside the idea of ​​slaughtering Wujiazhuang and waited for detailed plans in the future.

When Chen Zhizhou heard Tian Hu's promise, he was happy and picked up the wine glass and smiled: "Brother, I'm not wrong. Brother Tian is reasonable. Come on, brother, I'll give you a glass!"

Tian Hu hurriedly raised his glass to greet him: "You are polite, sir!"

Chen Zhizhou drank all the wine in the glass, and after admiring for a few good drinks, he said: "It's not that brothers are careful. It's because of the recent move by the noble king. The old opponents who had been suppressed by brothers jumped out one after another. A group of clowns jumped out, but they really thought the noble king could poke a hole in Hebei?" As he said that, he shook his head, and his face was dissatisfied.

Tian Hu said: "How many months have you been in office? Isn't you quite calm when I heard from the adults?"

Chen Zhizhou snorted and said, "Who knows how he thought? Humph, can you really be divided into a different position with Master Zhongshu and Cai Xiang?"

Just as he was talking about this, a servant in Qingyi suddenly ran in outside the hall, with a panic on his face, and when he entered the room, he shouted: "The owner of the manor. It's not good! It's not good!"

Tian Hu was stunned, then furious, got up and kicked: "Why don't you understand the rules so much?!"

The servant was kicked to the ground by Tian Hu. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Tian Hu was slapped at the head and two big ears: "Get out!"

The servant was slapped in disgust and walked out in a daze. Tian Hu kicked the waist from behind and flew out of the living room with a "ah".

Chen Zhizhou frowned. Tian Hu said everything was good, but it was too rude. At this time, Tian Hu turned around and said, "Saturday, brother, go out and take a look!"

Chen Zhizhou nodded with a smile.

Tian Hu was really thick and thin, and he looked at his servant so panicked. It must be a great thing. Not to mention that the brothers in the backyard fought themselves? Speaking of which, there were a few leaders who were originally against each other, but they were all impressed by Tian Hu. However, they often fought openly and secretly. Could it be that something happened again? Naturally, these things could not be known to Chen Zhizhou. It was because Tian Hu kicked the servant out.

When he walked out of the living room, the servant was getting up while humming. When he saw Tian Hu driving it out, he was so scared that he lay there and didn't dare to move anymore, for fear of being beaten by Tian Hu.

Tian Hu snorted and said, "What's wrong? Is it a mess in the backyard?"

The servant flinched and said, "No...No..."

"Why is that? Tell me hard!" Tian Hu glared.

Before the servant could speak, a big man suddenly ran in outside the yard, carrying a Park knife in his hand, and shouted when he entered the yard: "Brother Tian, ​​it's not good, there are officers and soldiers!"

Tian Hu was stunned: "Officers and soldiers?" At this time, the north wind was gusts, and the horses were nippled in the sound of the wind. Tian Hu was shocked: "What the hell is going on?"

The man calmed down and wiped away the sweat from his forehead: "There are a large army of soldiers outside the village, which seems...it seems to have surrounded our village!"

Tian Hu said "Ah?" and was quite confused. The governor of Gaizhou, that is, the general manager of the military and horses, could he mobilize the troops? Could it be that the counter-attack of Chen Zhizhou was right, but it wasn't right. Without the general manager of the military and horses, who dared to mobilize the military and horses privately?

"Go and find out what they want to do?" After instructing the shopkeeper, Tian Hu hurried back to the living room. Although he was surprised, he didn't care much. After all, the highest official in Gaizhou was on his own table, so what's there to be afraid of?

"Sir, there seem to be a large number of soldiers outside the village..." Tian Hu said after sitting back to the seat, looking at Chen Zhizhou's face.

Chen Zhizhou was obviously surprised: "Military soldiers? Where are the soldiers? What are they here to do?"

Tian Hu said: "But this brother doesn't know."

At this time, a few screams came from outside. Tian Hu was stunned. Then the front yard was chaotic. A farmer hurriedly ran in, regardless of Chen Zhizhou present, and said hurriedly: "Brother, these thieves seem to be here to copy the land of the village. They have already fought with the brothers who are guarding in the forest!"

Tian Huteng stood up and said, "What? I'll copy the village?"

Chen Zhizhou also opened his mouth wide in surprise and stuttered, "No...can't you?" He was stunned for a while before he came to his senses, and stood up and said, "Brother Tian, ​​don't panic, I want to see who is so bold? I dare to mobilize the army and horses if I order it? They really want to rebel?"

Tian Hu said anxiously: "It's so good!"

At that moment, Tian Hu was in front and Chen Zhizhou was in back. The two hurried to the front yard gate. The yard gate was closed, and dozens of big men gathered behind the door. From time to time, they looked through the cracks in the door, and everyone looked frightened.

Tian Hu frowned. Has it been too long for ordinary days? A little bit of trouble made him look like this?

"Open the village gate!" Tian Hu said coldly.

When the men saw that the owner of the manor arrived, they hurriedly made way. The farmer in front of the courtyard took off the fork and opened the manor. Tian Hu glanced at them coldly and said to turn around and deal with you again.

The incompetent subordinates cursed in their hearts and left the yard. When they looked up, Tian Hu couldn't help but suck in the air? What is this?

I saw countless heavy armored soldiers lined up in the dense forest outside the village. Although the formation could not be set in the forest, the spears and trees in the forest seemed even more solemn. Behind the heavy armored soldiers, there were crossbowmen and archers. Outside the dense forest, there were teams of light cavalry circling behind them, behind the light cavalry. There was a slight formation of heavy cavalry, but they were far away and missed.
To be continued...
