Chapter 125: Poison Jia Xu (Plea for a Monthly Pass)
A black lion-mane beast came running from the pasture. \.QВ⑤、com\\
It was fast, as if it was flying close to the ground, and when there were still hundreds of paces to go, it let out a roar.
The sound was like a lion's roar, which terrified the horses.
Wang Ji couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and almost fell off the wheel. Fortunately, Dong Tie held down the war horse and appeased him again and again, which calmed the war horse.
I've never seen anything like it.
A horse can make such a terrible sound, and it can also terrify all the war horses.
Kaoru calmed the dragon, dismounted, and ran over to the lion-mane beast, with a happy smile on his face.
The lion-mane beast didn't stop, and rushed straight towards Dong Li.
Wang Ji couldn't help but cry out, "...... Be careful! ”
Before the words fell, he saw that the war horse suddenly stopped in front of Dong Li, and his front hooves were raised high, letting out a long neighing of joy.
Immediately after, Dong Li suddenly jumped up and hugged the neck of the lion-mane beast.
The body straddled the back of the lion-mane beast and shouted, "Ugly, run, run!" ”
The lion's mane was only slightly worse than the elephant dragon. Strong limbs and shiny black fur make it extraordinarily energetic.
Hearing Dong Li's shout, the lion-maned beast Ugly hissed again, turned around and ran.
There was a person dragging on his body, but he didn't feel uncomfortable in the slightest. A man and a horse galloped on the grassland, like an arrow off the string, and disappeared into the water and grass more than half a person tall in the blink of an eye.
Dian Wei didn't react. couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Tie, what kind of horse was that just now?" ”
Kaoru said proudly, "Pegasus, that's a Pegasus that belongs only to its owner...... Legend has it that it is a different species born from the mating of a heavenly dragon horse and a mythical beast. It can travel thousands of miles in a day and eight hundred at night, and it is called a lion's mane beast, which is rare to see in five hundred years. ”
"Ahh
Dian Wei heard Dong Li mention the matter of the lion's mane beast, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but be shocked by the lion's mane beast's divine steed. And Wang Ji is the first time to hear such a story and the first time to see this kind of divine horse.
"Little Iron. You just said that it was a descendant of Ryoma and Fox? ”
Kaoru Iron smiled, "It's just that there is such a saying. The owner is not convinced. But it will only take 500 years, or even 1,000 years, to see it. But this is true. The lion's mane is very solitary and unsociable. So there are often dangers...... But all the lion-maned beasts that can survive are all one-in-a-million divine horses, and once they surrender to people, they will not turn their backs on them for the rest of their lives. ”
"Is the horse called Ugly?"
"Yes!" Dong Tie Zhengse said: "But you'd better not call it that." The whole ranch. Except for a handful of people who can call it that. If others call it an ugly. It's going to make it angry. The lion-mane lost his temper, but it was very powerful. ”
At this time. From the direction of the pasture ran out a group of people, all on horseback.
Xun Tie smiled: "Look, someone from the ranch has come to greet us, eldest prince, let's go over...... The master and the lion-mane beast haven't seen each other for a year, and I don't know where I'm going to run this run. Let's go back to the ranch and wait for him. ”
******
The Dong family ranch, which had been deserted for nearly a year, suddenly became lively.
There were many people gathered in the ranch hall that was not popular, and the old lady sat in the center, holding Dong Li's hand, with a smile on her thin face, and her white eyes seemed to be full of joy, and she kept asking Dong Li.
On one side of the hall, there was an old man from the Dong family.
Xun Lu, Dong Qi, Pei Yuanshao, Ma Zhen, and four or five ranch stewards who arrived at the ranch first.
Looking at Dong Li with a smile, Lu Yi ...... Oh, no, it should be called Dong Lu now, and I feel very satisfied.
Finally, there is no need to worry about it anymore, and Childe is back safely, and everything will be very beautiful.
It's just that......
Xun Lu glanced at Wang Ji, who was sitting at the bottom of the opposite side, that woman really looked like the eldest lady Dong Yu.
Sitting across from them were all new members to the ranch. Dian Wei's brother Dian Wei is now the steward of the ranch.
Dian Wei bowed down, Dian Wei's family, Liu Wang's family, and Huang Zhong's family, who had just arrived at the ranch, sat down in a row. Men and women, young and old, there were many more people at once, adding a bit of liveliness to the room.
After explaining the situation in detail, the old lady's face was cloudy.
After a while, she said aloud, "Okay, it's all about men." It's a great thing that Ugly is back today. Everyone opens their stomachs, drinks and eats as much as they want, and don't mention the annoying things. ”
In a word, the people in the council hall cheered.
Especially those children, led by Dianyou, Dianfu, Dianman, and the eldest girl and the second girl all laughed happily.
When the wine and food came up, everyone pushed the glass and changed the lamp.
Almost no one noticed that Dong Li was holding the old lady and quietly leaving the conference hall while the banquet was in full swing.
It's almost! It's not like no one has found out.
Wang Ji, who was sitting at the bottom, and Dong Lu, who was opposite Wang Ji, all noticed this incident. But no one said it.
At the same time, Dong Tie also quietly withdrew from the conference hall with Dong Li.
Helping the old lady out of the council chamber, the ranch mansion has become much larger than before.
The house covers an area of about 10 acres and is located in the center of the ranch. The pavilions and pavilions built inside are more gorgeous than the old mansion in Lintao. Most of the people who live in the mansion are the core members of the ranch. And, of course, the recruited guards. In the northwest corner of the mansion, there are more than ten acres of vacant land, leaning on the creek and carrying the hill, and a camp has been built.
Yes will do the camp!
As one of the most mysterious departments in the ranch, there are hundreds of whites on weekdays
is responsible for guarding, without the old lady's warrant, even Dong Lu can't enter
This is what Dong Li said to the old lady before leaving.
The general who will be the battalion is Master Pu. And the chief general who is responsible for guarding the general as the battalion is Teng Lier of Baimaqiang.
This woman is very capable and takes care of things in an orderly manner. Even the old lady said that she had the talent of a general.
Pu Yuan has already left the ranch. Wander around.
Kaoru didn't ask too much about this matter, he believed that when Pu Yuan finished his studies, he would naturally come back.
Helped the old lady through the mezzanine. Walked into a small courtyard. At the gate of the courtyard, there were several trolls from the training ground who were guarding them, and when they saw Dong Li and the old lady, several trolls bowed and saluted. Then he stood silently again. The only change was that their eyes were sharper, and they looked around vigilantly, observing the wind and grass around the small courtyard.
This is the old lady's residence, after entering. Dong Li helped the old lady to sit down.
"Ugly, your edge is a little too exposed!"
The old lady said straight to the point: "Although it is a little unavoidable, you are too sharp. Surely they will be calculated. ”
Kaoru sat down next to the old lady, "Grandma." It's not that I want to do it. It's just that sometimes, I can't help myself. ”
"Hehe, I know this."
The old lady gently stroked Dong Li's head, "I originally wanted to make you a strange soldier of our Dong family, but now it seems that it is impossible." But that's fine. You stand up now. It's not completely out of the way in the future. ”
"Grandma'......"
"Your experience this year. Actually, I've heard of it. Let's not talk about the past, it's better to look forward. I had a hexagram the other day. The hexagram obtained is auspicious with evil, and fierce with auspicious...... This kind of hexagram is very rare, so you must be more careful in the future, think twice about everything, and don't be reckless. ”
Xun Yu knows that grandma has a very powerful skill, which is fortune telling.
The ancient art of occupancy was almost lost after 1,800 years. The essence of it is something that few people can understand.
However, in this era, the method of occupation is still very popular.
At least grandma can be counted as a good hexagram.
"Ugly wrote it down!"
The old lady took a sip of water and suddenly said, "There are more and more people in the pasture, and you need to work harder." Those old people who have been doing things for us for many years must be comforted well, and their hearts must not be chilled by the arrival of new people. ”
Kaoru nodded, "This grandson is measured. ”
"I heard you brought back a woman?"
"Well...... Yes. ”
"Have you made sure you came from?" The old lady said slowly: "The world is chaotic, you must be more cautious. It's best to find out where the woman came from and send someone to look at it a little more...... If there is a problem, you must not be merciful. ”
Kaoru said, "The child understands...... The woman went out in self-defense, and it wouldn't be too difficult to track it down. The grandson will send someone to find out as soon as possible. Grandma, the woman...... Looks like an older sister. If there's no danger, let's stay with her, okay? ”
"Like a big sister?"
The old lady sighed, as if she understood something, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." Anyway, everything has to be careful. Grandma believes you can handle these things...... But I still want to remind you not to trust people easily. ”
"My grandson knows!"
The grandfather and grandson chatted for a long time, until the old lady was tired, and Dong Li said goodbye and left.
didn't go back to the conference hall, walked slowly and leisurely with his hands behind his back for a while, and suddenly stopped, "Xiao Tie, come out." ”
"Master!"
Kaoru smiled, "This is our family, don't be so nervous all the time." Why don't you drink with everyone? ”
Xun Tie bowed down and said, "Where the master goes, Xiao Tie should be there." Xiao Tie is the shadow of his master, how can he leave Xu Xian? When the eldest lady asked Xiao Tie to follow the master, she said that she should follow the master well, and Xiao Tie did not dare to forget. ”
"Just casually, don't be so serious."
Kaoru looked up and looked at the night sky. The night at the ranch is beautiful, the moon is bright, the stars are shining, and there is an air of tranquility.
"Come with me...... A year away from home, I really want to know what the ranch looks like today. ”
"Whoa!"
The two came to the stable, took out two horses at random, and slowly walked out of the mansion.
Kaoru didn't want to ride an elephant dragon horse. Over the past year, the elephant dragon has always been in a state of tension, fighting everywhere, and has suffered a lot of injuries. Now that I'm home, it's time to let him recuperate and get a veterinarian to take a closer look at it.
"It's been a long time since I've trusted the reins like this, and it feels good!"
The night at the ranch is very quiet. The two of them rode slowly. Breathing in the pasture air, my heart is very comfortable.
In front of him was the hill where his sister was buried, and Dong Li suddenly knocked the belly of the war horse. Run up the hill.
The tomb is very clean, and it is clear that someone has been cleaning it here regularly. The surrounding ground is lush and green pines have grown and look luxuriant.
In the house next to it, the lion-mane beast Ugly came out.
It seems that it has become its dwelling, and after a daily ride on the grassland, it will stay here to guard the tomb.
Kaoru dismounted and hugged Ugly's neck. Let its big head rub in its arms.
After a moment of affection, he slowly walked to the grave and bowed. Sit down next to the tomb.
The lion-mane drove the two horses off the hill because this was its territory. Sit down next to Dong Li. And Xun Tie leaned on a relaxed tree and looked at Dong Yan quietly
He whispered to him, then closed his eyes.
On the first night he returned to the ranch, Dong Li spent time by the grave.
The next day, Dong Li had made a plan and was ready to go to see what was going to be camping. Then we will inspect the ranch.
But who knew that Niu Fu sent someone to deliver the letter early in the morning. said that he was going to put wine in the old house of Lintao. For the lavender.
Yesterday, due to Niu Fu's business, he did not attend the ranch dinner.
As an official of the imperial court. He naturally heard a lot of things, especially Dong Li's actions in the past year.
Niu Fu is a person who is only average in terms of talent.
You can't say he's stupid because of this, on the contrary, in many cases, Niu Fu takes care of things much more clearly than his seemingly smart wife, that is, Dong Li's second sister Dong. Especially after Dong Huang was sent to Fufeng, Niu Fu knew that Dong Yu would become the successor of the next generation of the Dong family.
No matter how unconvinced Dong Zhao is, Niu Fu is convinced that Dong Zhuo's achievements will be greater than Dong Zhuo.
Therefore, as one of the members of the Dong family, Niu Fu knew that he had to get close to Dong Li. Because the relationship between Kaoru and Kaoru is not good, there are even some conflicts between the two. In the future, once Kaoru is in power, it will be very unfavorable for Niu Fu. At this point, Niu Fu knew that he was far behind Li Ru.
After all, Li Rudi's wife, the fourth lady of Dong Jiadi, Dong Yuan's face is there.
For Niu Fudi's kindness, Dong Yan couldn't refuse. had to change the plan temporarily, first letting Dian Wei stay in the ranch to accompany his family, and then letting Dong Lu be responsible for entertaining Wang Ji.
Xun Li could see that Dong Lu was hostile to Wang Ji.
The sensitivity of that kind of woman's nature made Dong Lu immediately aware that Dong Li had a very strange affection for Wang Ji.
If you want to resolve this hostility, Dong Li has no choice.
However, a good exchange will help to alleviate this hostility.
Anyway, regardless of whether Dong Lu was willing or not, after Dong Li threw Wang Ji to Dong Lu, he left in a hurry with Xun Tie.
Lintao City, I haven't seen it for a year.
Compared with a year ago, Dong Li found that the pattern of Lintao has changed even more.
Especially in the military subordinates, the entire Lintao has now become a huge military camp, with tens of thousands of horses.
It's hard to imagine that Niu Fu can actually do this step.
Lintao's county army establishment is only 3,000 people, which is still based on Dong Zhuo's face, and Li Xiangru, the Taishou of Longxi County, is open to the net.
The county seat of Longxi is located two hundred miles northeast of Lintao, which can easily monitor the movement of Lintao.
But now?
30,000 horses, which is ten times the number of horses.
And Li Xiangru didn't react at all, which really made Dong Li feel very strange.
During the banquet, Dong Li couldn't help but say this question.
Niu Fu smiled, "Brother Chou, if you want to talk about this matter, it is thanks to you." ”
"Thanks to me?"
Niu Fu nodded, his gaze sweeping the council room. There were two other people in the council chamber, one was an acquaintance of Xun Li, Hu Chi'er, and the other was a very strange, a man in his forties, dressed as a scribe, with three black beards under his chin.
"Mr. Wenhe, let's talk about it."
The scribe smiled slightly, "The young man built a ranch back then, but now it has become a more prosperous town than Lintao. Most of the people who originally lived in Lintao moved over because they were envious of the prosperity of the pasture...... As a result, Lintao became an empty city. At that time, he felt that it was a pity to abandon it here, so he asked the county lieutenant to recruit soldiers for training. ”
Kaoru suddenly realized, looked at the scribe, and felt that his words were familiar.
Niu Fu said: "Now the soldiers of Lintao are all called in the name of residents. The ranch is our family's private place, and Li Taishou can't say anything. Besides, now that my father has made a great contribution, Li Taishou also has to give some face...... So open one eye and close one eye. Everyone knows it in their hearts, but no one will say it. ”
"That is to say, the 30,000 soldiers of this Lintao ......"
"They are all private soldiers of our Dong family!"
Niu Fu was not without pride, and Dong Li was really surprised.
At this moment a man dressed as a magistrate came in and whispered a few words in the scribe's ear.
"Lord County Lieutenant, my son, there are some small things outside, and I have to deal with them. I won't accompany my son to drink and say goodbye. ”
When the scribe had finished speaking, he got up and left.
Xun Yan scratched his head, "Brother-in-law, did you just say that this master is surnamed Jia?" ”
Niu Fu nodded and said, "Yes...... Mr. Wenhe is a native of Wuwei Guzang, quite talented, and once served as an official in Yang. ”
"Wenhe? Jia Wenhe? ”
Niu Fu looked at Dong Yan strangely, nodded again, and said: "Wenhe is Mr. Jia's cousin, the big name Jia Xu, the cousin Wenhe." ”
"Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe!"
Xun Yu shuddered for no reason, and her eyes lit up suddenly, "Brother-in-law, you mean his name is Jia Xu?" ”
Niu Fu was taken aback by Dong Li's expression.
Even Hu Chi'er next to him felt a little strange, why could a small master book make the young man so excited?
Niu Fu said, "That's right...... Mr. Jia is a famous man in Guzang, who was once promoted as filial piety and honesty and was a lang in Yang. Two years ago, he resigned due to a foot disease and returned to his hometown, and last year he ...... Oh, it was only after you were gone that I asked him to help. ”
After speaking, he asked very suspiciously: "Ugly, Mr. Jia...... Is there something wrong? ”
