Chapter 128: Drinking Horses
Yinma Villa, located in the east of Danyang, is backed by a small stone mountain. [Ran^Text^Library] The land here is barren and sparsely populated, but it is just right as a field practice ground in Dongshuaifu.
The Dongshuai Mansion will take a few months every year to let the Eastern Army and the children of the Wang family who stay in the capital come to Yinma Villa to practice the art of battle formation and combined attack.
Although the area is sparsely populated, many buildings have been built to accommodate the large number of practitioners, and it looks quite large.
Today, it is not the day of the annual training, but the villa suddenly has a lot of guards and waiters, which makes the villagers very surprised.
Although the land of Yinma Villa is barren, the maintenance of the villa every year, as well as the routine training of Dongshuai Mansion, requires many people to operate, so there are not many households in the villa, a total of more than 200 households.
Wang Weitai is honest and rigorous, the wages he gives are very fair, and the stewards of the villa do not dare to deduct them, and the farmers are living a good life.
There are old villagers, seeing a group of young farmers around and discussing, they hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Don't guess here, there must be a big nobleman coming, and they all go home honestly and stay, which is very disturbing to the nobleman." ”
A young man asked, "What should we do if we go home and the steward has a work arrangement?"
The old farmer replied, "It's different from the annual routine, and it's nothing for us." How can we, who don't know the rules, go to receive nobles? Look at it, there are probably three waiters, maids, cooks, and servants. Four hundred, and more than a hundred guards, where are our helpers? ”
A group of young dealers felt that the old dealers were right, and the nobles who came to Dongshuai Mansion put on such a big battle, it must be extraordinary. Everyone beat the drum in their hearts, and no one wanted to disturb the nobles and cause unjustified disasters. So a group of young farmers scattered and went home to hide. When they returned home and closed the door, they couldn't help but speculate about the origin of the nobleman.
The old farmer is not wrong, the people who came to the Drinking Horse Villa today are all nobles. Among them are the hot upstart of officialdom, the dean of the Elite Academy, and the young mortal cultivator Xia Yuan; there is also the richest man in the country, the commander of the Northern Army, Su Zhelun; even the most inconspicuous Duanmu Ping is also the head of the Duanmu family, a big clan in the capital; plus the main family, Wang Weitai, the commander of the Eastern Army, this group of people is all extremely expensive.
Today is a serious discussion, not an ordinary idle gathering, and the distinguished guests did not bring juniors, only a few escorts came.
When the distinguished guests arrived at the Drinking Horse Villa, they left the guards outside, and then followed the leading attendants of the Dongshuai Mansion to the inner village alone.
In the meeting hall of Neizhuang, Wang Weitai, Su Zhelun, and Duanmu sat together and greeted each other. As the weaker party in the cooperation, they did not dare to hold it up, and they all came early.
Su Zhelun said to Wang Weitai: "Some days have passed, and you are still in good spirits." ”
Wang Weitai said with contempt: "You guy who hasn't been in court for a long time, it seems that you are stupid in business, and your speech has become so slippery." I'm an old bone, it's good to have a few more wrinkles on my face, and I'm still in good spirits, you can really say it. ”
Wang Weitai and Su Zhelun, although they have different personalities and different concepts, they are both hereditary generals, have a natural closeness, and their relationship has always been good. Facing Su Zhelun today, Wang Weitai put down the shelf at the end and made a joke.
Su Zhelun smiled and said, "Dean Xia relies on you so much, how can you not be radiant?"
Wang Weitai said: "Everyone is Dean Xia's partner, what's the difference? ”
Duanmu Ping sat on the side, quietly listening to the conversation between the two military marshals, but he didn't expect the topic to turn to himself, he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked, "Why should I be the most proud?"
Su Zhelun was also puzzled, and looked at Wang Weitai with interest, waiting for him to explain.
Wang Weitai said: "For the family, talents are the most rare, Duanmu's brother's daughter, that is a first-class talent! ”
Duanmu Ping heard Wang Weitai praise Duanmu Ziyan, this daughter slave was very happy, squinted with a smile, and said modestly: "The little girl is still young, what the future will be unknown to, where can you be worthy of such praise." ”
Wang Weitai said: "Brother Duanmu, don't be modest, Dean Xia can show me the image of your lady's fighting technique, her fighting level is higher than mine, and she is the strongest fighting technique I have ever seen." You have such a wonderful daughter, it's really enviable. ”
Su Zhelun was a little surprised, and said to Wang Weitai: "Brother Duanmu's delicate girl is really so powerful, stronger than you?"
Wang Weitai said: "There are talents in the Jiangshan generation, and we old guys, in addition to cultivating to a high point, the level of true fighting methods is not as good as that of Duanmu's elder brother." ”
Su Zhelun didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "This is too mysterious, Duanmu's sister's daughter, she shouldn't be very old, no matter how much experience she has in fighting, it's limited, how can she be better than a hundred-year-old guy?"
Wang Weitai said: "You are a genius with a lot of eyes and outstanding talents, how can you follow the usual theory? Duanmu's sister's daughter, with her bare hands, crossed the level to challenge the ground-stepping bear, and only paid a small price, and killed a strong enemy, can you do this?"
Su Zhelun said: "This record is indeed a bit incredible, will the ground-stepping bear have a secret injury?"
Wang Weitai shook his head and said: "No, not only does that ground-stepping bear not have a secret injury, but he is still the best among the demon beasts." Duanmu's younger brother's daughter, facing the enemy head-on, did not use any traps and tricks, nor did she use spirit runes and talismans, and defeated the enemy purely with her own spells. ”
Su Zhelun was finally moved, he looked at Duanmu Ping, who was smiling, and said, "In this way, Brother Duanmu's lady is very good, no wonder you are so happy,"
Wang Weitai said to Duanmu Ping: "Brother Duanmu, I have something to discuss. ”
Duanmu Ping said: "What's the matter with Wang Shuai?"
Wang Weitai said: "My family is a sea, the cultivation is not bad, and Ling Ai is the same age, our two families are also well-matched, how about we become in-laws?" Wang Weitai didn't know that Duanmuping was a daughter slave, so he rashly proposed to get married.
Duanmu Ping listened, his heart trembled, he had always been a daughter when he was young, and he never thought about Duanmu Ziyan's marriage, but now he suddenly realized that his baby daughter has grown up and has reached the age of marriage.
Duanmuping thought that his baby daughter was about to leave him and be bullied by a bad boy, and his heart throbbed. In this case, how could Duanmu Ping agree? His mind was in a hurry, and he had an idea in an instant.
Duanmuping smiled and replied dryly: "Wang Shuai, my girl, who is going to recruit in the future, I am afraid that it is not suitable for your family to become a sea." ”
