Most of the members of Huangshan Village are characters who have had dark experiences, and some even have great hostility to the government.

In addition, they also saw the tragic phenomenon of being ravaged by the Turks outside Yanzhi Mountain. They felt that although the world outside was big, they had no place to live. Therefore, under such a difficult situation, no one expressed his willingness to leave.

However, according to the situation in Huangshan Village at that time, everyone in the village did not eat or drink, and could not get the 20,000 stones of rice and grain that the Langshan tribe asked for a year.

Moreover, the Turkish herd slave system was notorious and did not regard Han slaves as human beings. None of the girls or young children in Huangshan Village were the treasures and flesh of each family in the village. I am afraid no one would want to send them to suffer such humiliation.

Therefore, the position of the village leader became extremely hot, so hot that no one dared to stand up.

However, the village must not be without a boss for a day. Although Qi Deye has no son, he still has three daughters and is each smart. So the elders in the village support his eldest daughter Qi Daishuang to succeed as the new generation of village leaders.

Qi Daishuang, who was forcibly promoted to the position of the leader of the village, knew that she was under the throne in times of danger. In order to reduce the heavy burden on her shoulders, she changed her father's style of being uncontested. In addition to working hard to carry out production matters such as farming, fishing and hunting, she also personally led a fully armed team to fight for the autumn wind.

After three years, Qi Daishuang "visited" many farms and "visited" many caravans. Her eccentric methods and brutal and aggressive style made people feel scared. As a result, not only did she not come to the door to submit posts when she was recruiting a wife, but she also won the nickname "Yanzhihu" in less than ten years.

However, in the face of the pressure exerted by the Turks, "Yanzhihu" Qi Daishuang did not care about these personal gains and losses. Although she used various means, last year, Jie Li Khan made a big attack on the Tang territory, which had a very serious impact on agricultural production in the Hexi area. She still failed to pay 30,000 stones of rice and grain to the Turkic Langshan tribe on time, so that she had to give away eighteen girls or boys this year.

As the saying goes, "Rabbits do not eat grass beside their nests." Qi Daishuang will not move the people in the village. Moreover, after robbing the caravan, she would specifically keep some goods and give them to the fields that she "borrowed grain" by her. The purpose is to not want to have too deep hatred with the surrounding indigenous clans, let alone plunder the locals.

Therefore, Yan Zhihu's target was only the passing caravan.

However, Tuyuhun invaded Longxi, causing the northwest trade route to almost interruption. Yanzhihu spent more than half a year without getting all the people. Now there are not many days before the day of handing over the person. Just when she was anxious, she learned that a large caravan appeared in Fanhe County, and she was overjoyed and decided to come to inquire in person, but it ended up falling into Li Yao's hands.

Hearing Qi Daishuang's narration, An Hongyu suddenly slapped the cups on the table with her palm, and her eyes that seemed to be spitting fire fiercely glared at Qi Daishuang, and cursed: "Good you, Yan Zhihu! It turns out that you actually planned to capture us and offer it to the Turks as slaves and servants! You abandoned people have a hard time living, and it is indeed quite pitiful. But in order to survive, you are cruel to your own Han people and to show off their barbarians and foreign enemies, it is even more shameful! It's hateful!"

Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, many Han Hu people have been deeply influenced by Chinese culture, etiquette and morality, as well as the "Huayi View" at that time, and they also completely think of themselves as "Han people". It is because An Hongyu, who is full of red heads, was scolded so indignantly.

Li Yao spoke to An Hongyu and said warmly: "Miss An, please be anxious."

Then, Li Yao glanced at Qi Daishuang again, and saw that the other party was speechless and looked red with shame. He couldn't help but nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Qi Wuniang, you didn't lie, I'm very satisfied." As he said that, he sat up from the bed, frowned slightly, touched his chin, and slowly paced in the room.

After a long time, Li Yao gently stood up and said to Qi Daishuang with a calm expression: "You don't need to work with someone."

"What does Taoist priest mean?"

Qi Daishuang was stunned at first, then widened his eyes and said in surprise: "Do you think our Huangshan Village can still have the power of fighting in front of Langshan?"

Li Yao was like Kashyapa picking flowers, smiled slightly, and said, "You only need to know that I am more terrifying than the Turkic people you are about to face."

The experiences of Qi Dazhi, Qi Deye, and even Qi Dai's three generations made Li Yao understand an objective law.

When the world is in chaos, the more densely populated the place, the more likely it is to collapse the rules and order. Often, remote areas like Yanzhi Mountain will be more stable.

However, the behavior of Yanzhi tigers leading people down the mountain to catch the autumn wind fully demonstrates that the geographical environment of Yanzhi Mountain is not very suitable for the small peasant economy that promotes the traditional Chinese ethnic group.

Therefore, the settlers of Huangshan Village will farm and fish and hunt.

Even from the quality of the horses ridden by Qi Daishuang and others, it can be seen that Huangshanzhai also has an excellent ranch.

There is no doubt that their lifestyle has obviously become awesome.

In fact, in some special periods in history, the phenomenon of Han people turning into Hu was not uncommon, including later Chinese and foreign ethnic groups, which had a large component of Han blood.

Now that Li Yao heard about this living example, it is not difficult to understand why the Turks went to trouble with Huangshanzhai.

It can be said that the Turks completely regarded Huangshan Village as their own affiliated tribe, rather than an ordinary Han settlement.

It is precisely because of this that Li Yao felt that it was necessary to help Huangshanzhai get rid of the threat from the Turkic Langshan tribe.

...

...

In Yanzhi Mountain, a team was struggling on the rugged mountain road with difficulty.

Li Yao asked He Panyi to lead the caravan directly to Didan City, and the people who walked with her were Yan Zhihu and his eight subordinates, twelve bodyguards, Yu Qiaoqiao, Xuan'er, Hui'er, and even An Hongyu, who also led four maids to follow behind.

"At this time, our village is there."

Qi Dai held the horse in one hand and pointed the other hand at a mountain surrounded by clouds and mist in front.

Li Yao raised his eyes and looked over, and saw a large village made of earth and wood standing on the top of the cliff.

Huangshan Village covers an area of ​​about 600 acres, and the village walls are only 500 feet high. You can faintly see the roofs of some buildings at the foot of the mountain. The three sides are steep rock walls, flat as flat as axe, and as high as a thousand feet. The remaining side is a hillside with thick green shade, and there is a road covered with stones leading to the village gate.

The group was still a hundred steps away from the front of the village gate. Someone shouted loudly from a wooden tower inside the gate: "The village master is back."

People appeared in the nearby woods, by streams, and in the shrubs, each wearing tattered clothes and patched clothes. It seemed that life was quite poor, and they looked at strangers with bad eyes, as if they chose a fat beast.

Soon, several people walked out of the village and shouted loudly to Qi Daishuang in a hoarse voice for an old man with a graceful beard: "Shuang'er, what's the result of inquiry?"

Then he found Li Yao and others following Qi Daishuang, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Who are you?"
