Chapter 12: Thoughts (2)
Dong Yu didn't bother him, carrying the wine jar in one hand, drinking bottle after bottle of wine, with a smile on his face.
Perhaps, Ugly will speak his mind; Perhaps, he is still the same.
But no matter what, I believe that this conversation is enough for him to truly become a descendant of the Dong family.
******
Outside the hall, the sound of horses' hooves was heard.
Immediately after what seemed to be someone falling off the horse, there was a commotion outside.
"What's going on?"
Dong Yu frowned and stood up. Dong Yan also woke up. He sighed, followed Dong Yu to stand up, and walked to the door.
Outside the door, a family general was covered in bruises, as if he had just stepped down from the battlefield, and several house slaves supported him. As soon as he saw Dong Yu, the general knelt in front of Dong Yu and said breathlessly: "Miss, it's not good!" ”
Why does this scene look familiar?
Dong Yu looked at the general, and then looked at Dong Yu. Fifteen days ago, the eldest sister and the fourth sister seemed to have played this play, why are they here again now?
And Dong Yu's face was gloomy, and he asked, "What are you panicking about, say it slowly!" ”
"Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss has an accident!"
Sure enough, the fourth sister probably wanted to find a step down, so she played this play. The corners of Dong Li's mouth curled slightly, and he asked with a smile: "Did the fourth sister meet a strongman and be arrested by a strongman?" ”
"That's right...... Hey, young master, how do you know? ”
Even Dong Yu couldn't help laughing, "Fourth sister, what kind of trick is this, I just played it once, why did I come again?" Alright, get up...... Go back and tell the fourth lady of your family, if you want to come back, come back obediently, don't play tricks. ”
"Yes......" The general instinctively responded, but then his face changed, "No! Miss, young master, it's true. Miss Fourth really had an accident...... On the way back, we met a Taiping Dao thief who had escaped from the city. One of them recognized the Fourth Lady, and it ended in a scuffle, and everyone but me was killed. ”
After Dong Yu and Dong Yu glanced at each other, the smile on their faces gradually faded.
"What about the fourth lady?"
"One of those thieves seems to have a high status and took the fourth lady away."
"Where did you go?"
"I was killed at the time, and I vaguely heard them say that they were going to take the fourth lady away and send it to Yaoge...... I didn't hear the others. ”
Dong Li's hands were trembling, and he suddenly roared, "Prepare the horse, prepare the horse for me!" ”
"Ugly, calm down!" Dong Yu grabbed Dong Li's arm.
The strength of the eldest sister is not small at all. As soon as Dong Yan earned, he immediately had such a thought. At least, it's about the same strength as the second brother-in-law. After earning like this, he couldn't shake off the eldest sister's hand. However, Dong Yan was not in the mood to think about this, if Dong Yu hadn't caught him, he would have smashed it with a fist.
"Sister, let go!"
"Don't worry...... At least we know now that the four girls are safe. Those people dared to do this knowing her identity, obviously for another purpose. Besides, do you know what a burner is? Where is it? ”
"This ......"
"Burning Ge is a tribe of the Qiang people, called Burning Geqiang, and its leader is called Burning Ge, specializing in horse thieves. They came and went like the wind in the Xiliang territory, and they had a good relationship with many Qiang people, and the official army tried to encircle and suppress them several times but failed to catch them. What's the use of you running out alone? Besides, there are quite a few of them. ”
"But, but the fourth sister ...... him"
"Don't worry!" Dong Yu thought about it, and immediately instructed the generals around him: "Immediately sprinkle the scouts and find traces of burning for me...... By the way, why did they go to Burner? It stands to reason that Xiliang should be evacuated immediately. ”
Dong Yuan's family general replied: "I vaguely heard them say that they want to discuss something with Yao Ge...... Also, the road to Anding has been blocked by Captain Niu. Looking at them, it seems that they have fought hard with Captain Niu's people. ”
Dong Yu looked at the general quietly, and suddenly smiled after a while.
"What's your name?"
"The villain's name is Omo, who was originally a slave of Baiqiang, and came to Lintao with his wife when he was a child, and later came under the control of the fourth lady."
"You're doing a good job, you're smart. In that case, he can still hear so much news, and he is a talent. Well, don't call it Oma. Since he has been working in my Dong family, his surname is Dong...... Well, it's called Dong E. I'll give you another word, the name Bai Mo, even if you don't forget your Bai Qiang's roots, and you will obey the young master's dispatch in the future, understand? ”
"Villain, villain will be smeared to repay the grace of the young lady and the young master."
Dong Baimo? Dong Bai touched ...... What's the name? But the eldest sister really has the means, just giving a surname and a name, and buying a person's loyalty. Thinking about it from another angle, in fact, the people of this era, especially those at the bottom, have very simple requirements. Giving him a surname is equivalent to entering the door of the Dong family,
Don't underestimate this surname, the family generals are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and they are given surnames, which can be regarded as senior family generals.
Dong Li glanced at Dong Yu and secretly admired the eldest sister's methods.
At this time, the private soldiers of the family in the ranch had already gathered, about two hundred people.
Some people even brought a dozen hunting dogs and lined up in the ranch. When Dong Li came, he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, so he didn't bring weapons. Glancing at the weapon rack, he walked over and reached out to grab a nine-eared and eight-ring machete, and shook it lightly in his hand.
A family general had already brought a war horse, and Dong Li turned over on the horse.
"Eldest sister, I'll lead someone to chase after you. You immediately send someone to find the second brother-in-law and ask him to send more people to the ranch. I guess those Taiping thieves have ulterior motives, maybe they will put their minds on our family's pasture, you have to be careful. ”
Dong Yu smiled slightly, "It's just a thief, my sister doesn't take it to heart." Ugly, if you don't save your fourth sister, don't come back. ”
"Young master, be careful!" Green Yi blushed and admonished.
"Sons, follow me!"
Dong Li turned the horse's head and was just about to set off. Suddenly, a teenager rushed out of the crowd and knelt down in front of Dong Li's horse.
"Young master, take me with you, I can help."
Dong Yan fixed his eyes and saw that it was actually the man slave who was saved by him.
This manu is not tall, looks thin and small, and looks weak. Dong Yan frowned, "What can you help me?" ”
"The villain has learned some tracking methods since he was a child, and he is also proficient in dog language and can command hunting dogs."
Dong Li's heart moved, he was still a capable guy. Just looking at the figure of this manu, it's really a bit ......
As if seeing the worry in Dong Li's heart, Xiao Manu said loudly: "Young master, don't underestimate Xiao Tie. When it comes to fighting and killing, Xiao Tie is no worse than anyone else. ”
"Bring him a horse!"
Dong Li thought about it, turned his head and ordered.
How do you know that the man slave said timidly: "Young master, Xiao Tie can't ride a horse." ”
Qiang people who can't ride horses? Dong Yan was furious, "You don't know how to ride a horse, what are you doing when you run out to make a scene?" ”
"The villain can't ride a horse, but he's a natural Scud. There are not many horses in this ranch that can run past me. ”
God knows if it's true!
This Scud...... Forget it, let him be.
Dong Li said: "Then you follow, if you fall behind, I won't wait for you." By the way, what kind of weapon are you using? ”
"The villain makes good use of two folding iron knives."
Manu said, taking a knife bag from his body and pulling out two short knives from it.
Dong Li nodded, "In that case, let's go." ”
With that, he galloped on his horse. Behind him, more than 200 war horses galloped out, and more than a dozen sheepdogs also barked wildly.
Secretly glanced at Manu, Dong Li was really taken aback.
Although the war horse under the crotch is not good, it is also a rare good horse in the pasture. The man ran wildly, no slower than the war horse, and even faintly ran to the front. A dozen sheepdogs followed him, and he heard Manu barking strangely from time to time. Every bark of the dog caused the dogs to bark wildly.
The team of horses disappeared into the night, and from afar came the barking of hounds.
Dong Yu and Lu Yi stood in front of the felt bag one after the other, and only turned around after seeing the horse team disappear.
"Miss, young master, he'll be fine."
"Don't worry...... As long as you calm down, no one will want to take advantage of him. It's just that I don't understand, how did Ah Chou know that those Taiping thieves had other plans? Could it be that he has another force in his hands that even you and I don't know? ”
Lu Yi hurriedly shook his head and said, "Miss, don't say that. Although the slave and maid have not followed the young master for a long time, it can be counted as three years. The young master usually rarely interacts with people, and he doesn't even go out often, how is it possible? ”
"But he ......"
Lu Yi said: "It's strange to say this matter, since I first told the young master about Taiping Dao, the young master has been very unhappy. He knew that the Great Sage had three brothers, and he also knew how the Great Sage and Good Master were established. And I don't know much about these things...... Anyway, I can feel that the young master doesn't like the Taiping Dao thing very much. ”
Dong Yuyi frowned, "That's really weird!" However, the national soldiers of Lintao County are getting worse and worse, how did Niu Fu lead the soldiers, and he couldn't even take down a group of Dao thieves, which really disappointed me. When this matter is over, I will definitely clean up this kid and see if he dares to be lazy in the future. Green Ripple, follow me around the pasture. ”
Several generals immediately brought the war horses, and after Dong Yu got on the horse, he couldn't help but glance in the direction where Dong Yu left.
Ugly, it's up to you!
