Volume 4: Following the Dragon and Slaying the Dragon Chapter 12 Computation
The sheep-headed man who walked out from behind the wine shop was wearing a green robe, smelling slightly of alcohol, and there was a little ink on his cuffs.
After seeing Hu Daoxian from afar, his body couldn't help but shrink, and then he took two cautious steps forward.
"Everyone, I am Huang Yang, the accountant of this wine shop. You have come at the wrong time. We haven't opened yet today."
No one would believe Huang Yang's words. There was still fire burning in the kitchen and dishes on the table. The so-called "closed" was simply because there were too many people here and everyone had fled.
However, with the appearance of several goblins, everyone knew that this was not a strange place, so they all breathed a sigh of relief.
In this world, there are gods and naturally there are goblins. Who hasn't seen a few little goblins or something? You should know that in the novels of scholars, the most common one is the Hu Xianyan ghost.
Plus, the sheep-headed man's trembling appearance was very deceptive, so everyone started laughing.
"Okay, there's nothing for you to do. Everyone is fine now, get ready to go."
Xiao Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was just a monster and the wine shop was not a haunted place. He was really afraid that something might go wrong with the burial today.
Now that it was almost time, they had to hurry on their journey.
Huang Yang didn't say anything at first, but when he saw the team going east along the road, he couldn't help but shout.
"Where are you going?"
Seeing Huang Yang coming out to stop him, Xiao Qingsong was also a little angry. He heard early in the morning that the planned plan would have twists and turns, and now someone was blocking the way. What did this mean? At least, wasn't the knife in his hand, the magistrate of Siming County, not sharp?
"Where we go has nothing to do with you, get out of the way."
Xiao Qingsong's son stood up at this time, and he pressed the long sword at his waist, "If you don't get out of the way, I won't introduce another sacrifice to my grandfather's grave."
Huang Yang took a step back when he heard this, but he soon thought of something and stood back again: "Please go back. It's private territory ahead, and you can't go there."
"What a joke. I've never heard of any private territory here." Xiao Qingsong knew that this matter could not be resolved peacefully. He waved his hand, and the five hundred soldiers behind him quickly moved forward. It could be seen that Xiao Qingsong was already angry.
"Now that you've heard it, retreat. From here, ten miles to the east is all within the Jingyang Ridge area. Ten miles beyond that is my master's residence. If you are a guest, please send us a life notice in advance. We will regard you as an enemy invading if you bring soldiers to deliver coffins to our door."
At this time, a voice sounded from not far away.
Xiao Qingsong looked up and found a man in green official uniform walking out slowly. Beside this man were more than twenty yamen runners with dog heads and translucent blue bodies.
"Who are you?" As soon as Xiao Qingsong saw the official uniform and the clear light on the man, he knew that he was the official mountain god, and the kind that had an imperial decree.
Xiao Qingsong also has such a formal deity under his command, and he is the City God of Siming County.
Of course he understood that this kind of god had a backer and it was impossible for him to be deified independently, so he had to ask clearly.
"I am Huang San, the servant of the Wang family and the ninth-rank mountain god . Please go back. If you go down, you will enter the mansion of my master as I said. You, who are leading soldiers to transport coffins, will be treated as an invading enemy."
Xiao Qingsong had already thought of retreating, but at this moment, Hu Daoxian jumped out.
"This is impossible. When did your master appear here? Why didn't he see him when I sent my disciples here to acupuncture and bury the money seven days ago?"
"The main house has been here for more than six years. As a noble family, the main house has rules for everything. I have been the mountain god guarding the main house for six years. So seven days ago, no one came here to point acupuncture points and bury money. You were just joking."
Hearing this, Hu Daoxian also became angry. He waved his hand and said, "Please move aside, County Magistrate Xiao, or you will get splashed with blood. I will deal with this guy properly today and let him know that there are some things that cannot be said carelessly."
After saying that, Hu Daoxian rolled up his sleeves, revealing his arms that were as sticky as hemp, and walked towards Huang San with a menacing look.
Hu Daoxian's actions stunned Xiao Qingsong and the others. Whose father was he going to bury? Why was he jumping like that?
Xiao Qingsong and the others actually didn't know, and Hu Daoxian didn't want this to happen either, but the problem was that they were now facing a key issue: timing.
In order to follow Long, Na Kejin of the Huxing Sect started planning everything decades ago.
The Huxing Sect contributed a lot to the matter of the Xiao family's ancestral tomb.
But as soon as Xiao Qingsong's father died, the situation changed a little. Last night, several masters of the Huxing Sect worked together to deduce, and they found that if Xiao Qingsong's father was buried in the ancestral tomb, the situation would become different from what they imagined.
Their original plan was for the Xiao family's most talented son, Xiao Qingsong's son Xiao Zhengtan, to marry the Dongfeng Marquis's legitimate daughter. The Dongfeng Marquis's legitimate son would serve as the dragon vanguard and capture Dongfeng Town and a nearby town, but he died in battle three years later and withdrew because he had no offspring.
Everything in Dongfeng Town will fall into Xiao Zhengtan's hands. He started from this and will be able to join the war of unification three years later.
But if Xiao Qingsong's father was buried in the ancestral tomb, the situation would be different. The hair for the next three generations would be transferred from Xiao Zhengtan to his eldest son born to the legitimate daughter of Marquis Dongfeng .
Xiao Zhengtan will die in battle after his eldest son is born to prevent his luck from being dispersed.
Fifteen years later, the Dongfeng Marquis family had no descendants, so Xiao Zhengtan's eldest son was born through a backdoor listing and joined the last step of the unification war. However, at that time, there was no difference between entering and not entering.
Not to mention that the amount of variables increases in fifteen years. What if something happens and Xiao Zhengtan loses his eldest son?
What if this war doesn’t end in fifteen years?
Therefore, the idea of Hu Xingzong and others was that no matter what, they had to bury the grave of Xiao family’s grandfather in the place they designated.
In this way, Xiao Zhengtan is a hidden dragon and they have a chance.
So no matter who is blocking the way, Hu Xingzong must kick him away.
So when Hu Daoxian encountered this situation, he stood up immediately. He pretended not to hear what Huang San said and walked forward while talking.
"Nowadays, monsters think they are mountain gods just because they occupy a mountain. They even claim to be the master. I will kill you now. Ask your master to come out and take a look. I want to see if there is anyone to collect your body."
Hu Daoxian's actions also attracted Xiao Qingsong's attention. He hesitated for a moment, waved his hand and asked the soldiers to protect his family. He stood at the front and watched the follow-up of the incident.
