Chapter 59
A bright moon hangs low in the cold night sky, big and round, as if you can pick it with just a stretch of your hand. The Mercury Mountain at night has lost the busyness and hustle and bustle of the day, standing quietly in the night, overlooking the vast earth.
The two figures carried iron picks and climbed up the Mercury Mountain quietly. There were countless mine caves intertwined on the mountain. There were only two people watching the mountain at night. They were already asleep. The two who quietly snorted into a mine cave and digged it inside.
After about two quarters of an hour, the two dug a hole, buried something carefully inside, and then quietly climbed out of the mine and ran south along the ridge. There was the direction of Laoji Valley.
In Laoji Valley and in Yu Jiahai's bedroom, the two brothers were eating roe pork hotpot with relish. Yu Punman ate two bites and praised: "Not bad! Seeing that the meat is not fat, I'm afraid it tastes too hot, so I don't expect it to be so tender."
Yu Jiahai said: "This was brought back from the north by the caravan of the tycoon Master. Thank you for winter, you can only be able to stay. He gave two to the Gdoule, and the Gdoule gave one to us."
Yu Puman smiled and said, "This old person is quite interesting."
Yu Jiahai said: "I heard that this roe deer runs very fast and is extremely difficult to catch up. However, it is curious by nature. When it sees anything, it will stop and take a look and figure out the truth. Even if the hunter shoots it with an arrow, it is lucky to escape by it. The hunter doesn't have to chase it, because it won't take long to run back to see what happened, so it is also called a silly roe deer."
Yu Puman couldn't help laughing again and said, "I'm curious and killing the roe! Such beasts are rare."
After laughing for a while, Yu Punfan picked up a cup of hot and hot wine and drank it. He sucked the smell of Baba and said to Jiakai: "Have you sent someone?"
Yu Jiahai nodded, a ferocity flashed in his eyes, and said, "Mr. Ye has returned from the capital. The Gdoule said when he sent someone to send a roe deer. He has sent someone to Tongren to meet Lord Ye. We have prepared carefully for so long. How can we fail? We have to take the initiative to avoid being stopped by Lord Ye."
Yu Puman nodded and said in a deep voice: "Finish! You should do what you should do first, and it depends on mine next! Without expanding the territory, how can there be a perfect achievement! Without a perfect achievement. If we two old guys who were driven out of the house establish their own foundation!"
At midnight, the stars dotted.
Yu Punman pushed open the door and came out of Yu Jiahai's room. The old Ji Valley was quiet at night, and the wind was not strong. However, it was still very cold. Yu Punman tightened his old sheepskin coat and walked towards his residence with steady steps.
The next morning, Mercury Mountain continued to start mining. All parties have been entangled with the ownership of Mercury Mountain. However, it has been under the control of the Yang family for decades, and now it officially belongs to Yang Xianda, the chieftain of the Yang family.
As the second son, Yang Xianda knew that the position of chieftain would not belong to him, so she just wanted to make more wealth. But as the chieftain, how could Yang Xianda give up the richest part of the family to this half-brother?
After Yang Xianda accepted the imperial edict and officially became the chieftain, he finally took the Mercury Mountain into his hands regardless of his stepmother's face. The dispute between the two brothers suddenly became fierce.
In order to prevent my second brother from sending people to cause trouble, Yang Xianda organized a mine protection team of more than 100 people, divided into four teams, patrolling around the mountain every day. At this time, a mine protection team was patrolling the mountain when they suddenly saw more than a dozen men wearing animal skins, holding hunting bows, and hunting forks running along the ridge.
A leader of the mine protection team immediately shouted loudly: "Stop! What are you doing? The territory of our Yang family is ahead. You must not enter without any trouble."
The dozen or so hunters dressed in a row and shouted to him from afar: "We have two brothers chasing a clouded leopard up the mountain. Have you seen it?"
"What? Yunbao? You guys are kidding, we didn't see anything! Go and go. Don't make trouble!"
The people from the mine protection team heard it inexplicably, and some of them laughed loudly: "I said you haven't woken up yet? If a kitten and dog went up the mountain, we might not have seen it. A clouded leopard and two big living people, can we let him go up the mountain?"
The hunters gathered together and whispered, and pushed someone over and said suspiciously: "Don't talk nonsense! We clearly saw the two brothers chasing Yunbao and running here. Apart from this mountain, where else can they go? We have to go up the mountain to find it!"
The mine protection team whispered the knife and shouted: "Fuck! I'll give you the courage to do this. This is our Yang family's mine. Do you want to search?"
The man said angrily: "Don't let the search? Are you guilty? Are our brothers on the mountain?"
When the two sides quarreled, other hunters also came over. One of them said with a singular gaze: "The skin of the cloud leopard is worth a lot of money. Brother, they were determined to make money and hurt our brothers, wouldn't they steal the cloud leopard?"
"Not bad! It's very possible! Let's go up the mountain to search!"
"You dare, your Gejia Village is still in a rebellion. Come to our Yang family to play wild!"
The two sides had a disagreement and immediately fought. The mine-protecting team patrolling here was only about twenty people, and the number of people did not have much advantage over the other. However, as soon as they took action, the police whistle on the mountain immediately knocked on the gong, and several other reinforcements rushed over.
The hunters were outnumbered and were beaten to flee by them. The people from the mine protection team chased them all the way, and saw that they were running away like rabbits, they returned to the mountain in disappointment.
There will be conflicts between tribes, and small-scale quarrels have become commonplace, so the strong men of the mining protection team did not take this seriously after returning to the mountain, but during lunch, they finally realized that this time was different.
The warriors of Laoji Valley, who were all over the mountains, rushed towards Mercury Mountain along the ridge and the hillsides on both sides. The gongs were beaten again on the mountain, but this time the gong was beaten to no avail. When the mine protection team threw down their jobs and climbed up the hillside, they immediately made the wisest, most correct and quickest reaction: they turned around and ran away.

"Go back to Mercury Mountain now?"
Yang Xianmin was very happy when she heard that Cao Ruixi was coming to his hamlet, but when he excitedly came out of the hamlet, he was a little confused when he saw Cao Ruixi bringing a large number of people to come. He became even more dizzy when he heard him explain his purpose.
Yang Xianmin had the Guoji family as his backer, and the eldest brother Yang Xianda had the Zhan family as his backer, and the two brothers were just in the process of competing. Later, the Guoji family wanted to marry the Zhan family, which was equivalent to abandoning Yang Xianmin. Although the marriage was not successful, the relationship between Yang Xianmin and the Guoji family was no longer the same.
In this case, in order to have external support in order to compete with the elder brother, Yang Xianmin had to bite the bullet and surrender to Cao Ruixi.
Cao Ruixi is a ruthless man. He is too greedy, not only greedy, but also too ugly to eat, so everyone always stays away from him. Yang Xianmin is also at the verge of desperate situations and has to surrender to him.
Among the eight great Vajras in Guizhou, Shiqian Mansion occupies three families: the Cao family, the Tong family and the Zhan family. The more closed the place, the stronger the control of local forces. Guizhou area is relatively closed compared to other places, so the influence of the court is far less than that of the local area. The traffic inside and outside Shiqian Mansion is entirely based on waterways, and it is even more closed in this relatively closed environment.
Therefore, the result of the three major kings in Shiqian was born. However, with the development of the times, other places are no longer pure peasant economy, where the sound of chickens and dogs is heard and the relationship between them will never be with each other. You are still in a state of being in a state of closure and backward, and your economic strength will inevitably gradually widen the gap.
In fact, there are other toasts whose strength is not below these three companies or even slightly higher than that, but this ranking has been determined after hundreds of years of evaluation. Unless any of these eight major Vajras completely declines, it will be difficult for others to replace them.
In this case, just like the current Tian family is actually not worthy of being among the four Heavenly Kings, but with the strong historical background of the Tian family, it is still among them. For example, the Yu family and the Zhang family in Tongren Mansion are roughly like this.
However, Cao Ruixi was not satisfied with the current status of the Cao family. He wanted to climb higher. Now with the support of the Yang family in Bozhou, his ambitions further expanded. After Zhao Wenyuan left, he spent a few days to receive the last batch of congratulatory guests. Then he gathered people and rushed to Yang Xianmin's territory in person.
"If the local chieftain sends troops to help you, then you will immediately regain the Mercury Mountain. What's wrong? I will not only help you regain the Mercury Mountain, but also help you depose Yang Xianda's chieftain position!"
Cao Ruixi entered Yang Xianmin's village, sat down in the hall, and immediately threw out another "bomb": Yang Xianda planned to seize the property of his younger brother and was not worthy of being a chieftain. As the chief of Shiqian, Cao should be fair for you! After regaining the Mercury Mountain, I will convene the Tong family, Zhan family, and your Yang family chieftains to discuss the deposed Yang Xianda's chieftain."
Yang Xianmin was stunned again and said sternly: "And...and what?"
Cao Ruixi said: "Then, naturally, Yang Xianda's son will take over as the chieftain. His son is only six years old, and you helped him up again. At that time, will the Yang family be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be with you?"
Cao Ruixi felt something when he said this, glanced at Yang Xianmin and said, "You don't want to replace him, right?"
Yang Xianmin's face turned red and she said embarrassedly: "I...how could I think so randomly."
Cao Ruixi smiled "hehe" and leaned closer, saying sinisterly: "A real man should have ambition. What's wrong with you thinking this way? However, it's impossible to take the position of chieftain. If you kill Yang Xianda first and help his son as chieftain, you can take this child in a while..."
Cao Ruixi, with his palms as a knife, went down hard and said with a grim smile: "As long as your hands and feet are cleaner, even if others suspect it, there is no evidence. At that time, your elder brother's room was gone, so I had to be my brother. If you don't become a chieftain, who will become a chieftain?"
Yang Xianmin's face flashed with a red light, and she said nervously: "Brother Ruixi, is this... feasible?"
Cao Ruixi leaned on the back of the chair and smiled proudly, "Brother Yang, I'm not afraid to tell you that the Yang family in Bozhou has long disliked your elder brother, and they support me very much. In addition, the Zhan family will soon become in-laws with the Yang family in Bozhou. Do you think, can anyone stop us in the entire Shiqian Mansion?"
Yang Xianmin was shocked and said in a lost voice: "Brother Ruixi is serious?"
Cao Ruixi said: "No word is true!" and revealed more information to him.
After hearing this, Yang Xianmin was very brave and slapped the table and said, "I have had enough of his pampering energy! Now with the support of the clan, the Zhan family is the alliance, and Brother Cao helps him with all his strength. What else can I be afraid of! Brother Ruixi waits for a moment, brother will order all his troops and we will take back the Mercury Mountain!"
