Chapter 1485 Yang Dezu’s Sigh

Before humans became the masters of this land, there may have been countless animals living on this land, but until today, there are still humans on this land.

There are even many animals that have been domesticated and become human pets. Small animals such as chickens, ducks, cats and dogs, large animals and even cows and horses. Even the proud eagles flying in the sky and the ferocious tigers in the mountains and forests have also become pets of some people.

Yang Xiu comes from a family of officials. There are many things that ordinary people have never seen. Yang Xiu may have seen them when he was very young, and even experienced them personally, such as raising eagles.

The ultimate thing about raising an eagle is endurance.

Both Yang Xiu and the Hu man who taught Yang how to cultivate an eagle considered this the most important. Yang Xiu looked back at Chang'an City. He didn't know why he suddenly remembered his experience of boiling an eagle when he was a child. He remembered the scene of the young and immature eagle teetering on the iron frame, but still refusing to lower its head and holding its head high. .

From childhood to adulthood, Yang Xiu has been very confident even in his interactions with people older than him. He can easily guess the thoughts and behaviors of others, and can even use means, interests, and Anger, using hatred, like boiling an eagle, will eventually make others lower their heads and finally give in.

Yang Xiu thought that he was a very successful person, and there were only a few people in the world who could compare with him. When he focused his attention on the Yuan brothers, he inadvertently turned around and saw that dazzling side. The tricolor flag of…

Yang Xiu originally felt that anyone under his scrutiny should have their thoughts written on their face. Even a sophisticated person would have some flaws to look for. Then Yang Xiu could naturally take advantage of these flaws to make them The injury caused it to bleed, causing it to unknowingly use up all its energy, and eventually drained away in the long journey, just like that little eagle, either falling down and dying, or succumbing in front of him.

And Yang Xiu never expected that now he felt that he had become that little eagle.

Fatigue, weakness, and even the fatigue rising from the deepest part of his body seemed to make him understand that he was the eagle that was suffering...

Yang Xiu coughed twice. Although it had only just entered autumn, Yang Xiu had already felt a bit chilly. Even the letter in his arms felt like a piece of black ice, unyielding and biting.

Normal enemies are not scary.

Smart enemies are not scary, just more troublesome.

But an enemy that is impossible to figure out, and even difficult to predict their behavior, is not only troublesome, but also quite terrifying...

Fei Qian, the general who conquered the West, was undoubtedly the most troublesome one. In front of General Zhengxi, Yang Xiu felt that his tricks and tricks were like a little eagle showing off its hunting skills in front of an old eagle.

No matter who it is, whether it is a young eagle or an old eagle, the best thing to do is to catch the prey, and now Yang Xiu feels that he is the prey.

Yang Xiu slowly let go of the hand he was holding, only to find that his nails were deeply embedded in the palm of his hand, forming a series of deep dents, like a series of scars. It usually seems inconspicuous, and it shouldn't hurt your nails. Under certain circumstances, it can actually be enough to injure the body, and even break open and bleed blood.

These wounds and blood may be nothing to ordinary healthy people, but for the current Hongnong Yang family, there is no room for any difference. Nowadays, the Yang family in Hongnong seems to be in a state of decline. As the next generation successor of the head of the Yang family, he naturally has to bear more responsibilities. These responsibilities require Yang Xiu to be cautious. Maintaining the Yang family in Hongnong has become a bit difficult. The shriveled body maintains a shell that originally seemed indestructible but is actually scarred.

The Hongnong Yang family cannot fail!

Yang Xiu cannot fail either!

In a sense, he is the Hongnong Yang family in the world today. He is the Hongnong Yang family. He is the last spirit and pride of the Yang family, so he cannot fall. So even if he is with a group of poor people, walking through the officialdom all over again, or even bowing his head and obeying orders, being humble and submissive, he still has to maintain hope and maintain the appearance that everything is calm and calm, making others feel that Hongnong Yang The name of the family really lives up to its reputation...

God knows how much effort Yang Xiu has to put in behind the scenes to make this name worthy of his name! If others don't know the scriptures, it can be said that they have not read it, which is harmless. However, as a heirloom of scriptures, if others make an allusion but do not know the source of the scriptures, wouldn't it be ridiculed for years?

Yang Xiu raised his head and looked at the sky. "...Does the Yang family belong to me alone? Why do I work so hard to maintain it, but there are still people who are sabotaging it behind my back?"

The old servant standing beside him stood silently.

Yang Xiu didn't expect the old servant who followed him to give him an answer, but he was too aggrieved and couldn't express his anger. Yang Xiu turned to look at the several loaded baggage trucks following his vehicle, and let out a long sigh, "... Let's go! Go back to Hongnong! Let's go see my good uncle..."

…………………………

The Yang family of Hongnong is the clan elder's other courtyard.

Fifth Elder Yang Tong welcomed his guest.

The head of the family, Yang Biao, and Yang Xiu.

The fifth elder was a little surprised by Yang Biao's arrival. After all, since the last incident with the third elder, the fifth elder had been semi-retired and had not had much contact with Yang Biao. This time, Yang Biao and Yang Xiu suddenly appeared, which inevitably caused the fifth elder to panic. There were some waves in Yang Tong's heart.

The relationship between the fifth elder Yang Tong and Yang Biao is not as good as it seems on the outside, so the fifth elder Yang Tong knows very well that the arrival of Yang Biao and Yang Xiu will definitely bring trouble to him.

Sure enough, when only Yang Tong, Yang Biao and Yang Xiu were left in the quiet study, trouble started.

The study room has carved windows, which is very elegant and delicate. Outside the carved window, there is a pool of water. There is a rockery in the water. There are some micro-carved pavilions, small stone paths, small pottery figures and so on on the rockery. It is like a miniature mountain. It takes the meaning of rivers and mountains outside and inside. It is also simple and elegant, with a unique flavor.

Yang Biao held the tea bowl, took a sip, then put it down, looked at the faint scenery outside the window, and said with a smile: "The scenery here by the Fifth Elder is really beautiful, and it should be leisurely... This mountain is unique, It must have taken a lot of thought..."

"It's just the beauty of the mountains and fields..." Yang Tong stroked his beard and said, "This mountain was created by a child who has little skills and is not doing his job..." Although he criticized it, Yang Tong showed his filial piety to his son. Still very proud.

Yang Xiu stood aside and suddenly said softly: "This mountain peak has twists and turns, and the scenery changes with each step. The pavilions are deep, and every tree is exquisite... It must have cost a lot..."

Fifth Elder Yang Tong immediately stopped smiling and glanced at Yang Biao faintly, then without looking at Yang Xiu, he raised his head slightly and said: "It's just mountains and rocks, it's not worth much..."

Yang Biao smiled, as if he didn't hear what Yang Xiu and Fifth Elder Yang Tong said.

Yang Xiu looked around, looking at the furnishings and utensils in the study, with a subtle expression, and said with a chuckle: "The interior of this room is also exquisite. This pair of hanging scrolls alone is the Liancheng... The Book of the Sanren Prince of Shanggu, An eight-point model and a peerless treasure..."

Yang Tong lowered his eyelids, stared at Yang Xiu, and said, "If Dezu likes it, just take it."

"If it's not from the Yang family, how can Xiu dare to take it?" Yang Xiu said mockingly.

In the study room, the atmosphere turned sharply.

Fifth Elder Yang Tong pondered for a moment and said: "Dezu might as well speak frankly..."

Yang Xiu was silent for a moment, glanced at Yang Biao, and seeing that Yang Biao had no objection, he took out the letter from General Fei Qian of the Conquest of the West from his arms and asked his servant to hand it to the fifth elder.

Fifth Elder Yang Tong took it with some doubts, looked at Yang Biao, and then at Yang Xiu, then lowered his head and opened the letter, and slowly read it, but after a moment, Fifth Elder Yang Tong's hand But he began to tremble, barely able to control himself, and immediately threw the letter on the table, as if avoiding a snake or scorpion.

"This is impossible!" Yang Tong no longer looked calm as before, his face was pale and frightened.

"Ahem..." Yang Biao coughed twice and said softly, "Fortunately, Zhengxi's injuries were minor and nothing serious. Also, Xiu'er was very powerful before Zhengxi, indicating that this matter was not caused by the Hongnong Yang family. It was done by one clan. General Zhengxi knew that the Hongnong Yang family had no objection. They were the youngest and unfilial members of the clan. They were obsessed with profit and did such a stupid thing... If we gave General Zhengxi an explanation, this matter would be of little use. It’s been revealed…”

It sounds easy, but in fact it is not easy at all. The Yang family not only needs to give personnel explanations, but also needs to make concessions at the political level. Yang Xiu needs to come forward to support the new policies and new laws of General Zhengxi at the gentry level. This time, Yang Xiu brought back several vehicles of Zhengxi. General Xi will be responsible for promoting and implementing the laws published and printed in Hongnong...

But no matter what, it is always much more cost-effective than General Zhengxi's army to invade the country and then be disgraced under the sword of the sword. Therefore, even if Yang Biao and Yang Xiu have some ideas in their minds, they dare not even think about it now. .

"My son...my son will never do such a thing!"

Fifth Elder Yang Tong looked at Yang Biao and Yang Xiu in panic, as if he wanted to find some change in the faces of Yang Biao and Yang Xiu. However, what made him more and more desperate was that Yang Biao and Yang Xiu Xiu seemed to have no intention of bargaining with Fifth Elder Yang Tong on this matter. He just smiled and had no intention of answering the letter from General Fei Qian of the Expedition to the West. He just nodded, what? He didn't say anything, then he got up and left...

"Mr. Wen... No! Master, Master, please stay! Please stay..." Yang Tong wanted to stand up in a panic, but accidentally hooked the table and fell to the ground with a clang. He could only look at Yang Biao and Yang Xiu gradually went away.

The servants outside the study who had stayed away from him saw that something seemed wrong and quickly stepped forward to help Yang Tong up.

"Quick! Quick!" Yang Tong grabbed the confidant on the side tightly and said eagerly, "Quick! Go tell my son! Leave quickly! Leave quickly! Go quickly!"

…………………………

It gets dark.

On a certain ridge behind the old residence of the Fifth Elder Clan, more than ten people climbed up. One of them, a young scholar, looked frightened. His original fresh clothes seemed to be caught by the thorns on the mountain road and became tattered. , swaying.

"Fire! Look, fire!" Among the group of people, someone suddenly screamed and pointed at the fifth elder's clan home.

Everyone couldn't help but look back, their faces turning blue and white in the firelight.

"Father!" The young scholar wailed, and subconsciously wanted to go to the elder's house, but was quickly grabbed by the guards around him. He was unable to do so, so he could only throw himself to the ground and cry bitterly.

"Evil thief Fei Qian! Yang Biao, Yang Xiu!" The young scholar burst into tears, gritted his teeth, and pointed to the sky and swore, "This hatred is irreconcilable! I will kill Fei Qian, Yang Biao, and Yang Xiu..." "

"Oh?" Before the young scholar could finish speaking, Yang Xiu stood up on a rock not far away and said with a smile, "Brother, what do you want me to do?"

"I want... ah ah ah..." The young scholar only said one word. He immediately reacted and collapsed to the ground in fear. He pointed at Yang Xiu and was speechless. When he managed to calm down, Suddenly he realized that the guards he had brought had been surrounded and killed by Yang Xiu's men, leaving him alone...

"Dezu, no, no, young master! I didn't want to assassinate Zhengxi! Really! It's not me! I don't know!" The young scholar argued anxiously, trying to save a glimmer of hope for himself, "I really don't want to I know! I'm just doing my job as a landlord... By the way, by the way, wasn't the Zheng family also under the head of the family for a while... Wasn't the Zheng family son Dezu also met... Really, really just met by chance, and then We drank together..."

"I hear what you mean..." Yang Xiu smiled, and after seeing that the guards of the young scholars had been killed, he said slowly, "This matter... is it to be blamed on a certain family?"

"No! No!" the young scholar said in panic, "No...it's just..."

"Exerting the friendship of a landlord? Haha, that's good, but... who asked you to fulfill the friendship of a landlord? If you don't show off outside and don't often speak rudely, the Zheng family will find you? Besides, the place where the Zheng family stays is Your arrangement, right? As a landlord, you did a good job!" Yang Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "Now I just want to know... who is the other person who came with Zheng Jiazi? Where is he now?"

"Who is it?" the young scholar asked, with a confused look on his face.

Yang Xiu stared at it for a long time before sighing and saying: "Brother...if this was a time of peace, I would still really like a clan brother like you..."

When the young scholar heard the word "like", he couldn't help but feel happy. Then he thought about it for a moment before he came back to his senses. He couldn't help shouting in panic, but he only saw Yang Xiu turn around and leave, waving his sleeves, and then suddenly felt like the world Upside down, the world is dark...

Yang Xiu raised his head and looked at the sky. After a long time, he let out a long sigh. His voice was soft and quickly disappeared into the mist of the mountains, silently...
