The dock fort, also known as the dock wall, belongs to the civil defense type of building.

This is the definition of a dock fort in the book, but in fact, each dock fort is equivalent to a small city, with high walls, arrow towers, weapons, and food.

At the earliest, it was also called Tunju, which was similar to the cottage where the grass fell, and people who couldn't survive in the troubled times got together to build it together to prevent the rebellious bandits.

Later, the squires and nobles would also privately build dock forts when the troubled times came, stockpile food and weapons, and gather the able-bodied homeless, if necessary, close the gates and be self-sufficient, and it would not be a problem to hold on for a few months.

The squires are all over the place, the relationship is intertwined, most of the time the law does not hold the people accountable, and the court basically turns a blind eye, but once it is determined to investigate, at least it is also the crime of raising private soldiers, and the family property is confiscated and exiled for hundreds of miles.

Murong Clan's Swallow Dock is such a place.

Swallow Dock is located in the depths of Taihu Lake, built on an isolated island, so it is not afraid of being spied on.

With such a terrain advantage, the Murong clan is more ruthless than the ordinary gentry, and every year they are collecting orphans, teaching martial arts, and brainwashing to make them loyal to the Murong clan.

In the past hundred years, some orphans have been passed down for four or five generations, and their loyalty has long been max. Over the years, batches of orphans have been sent to various places after training, hiding their identities, and secretly waiting for the opportunity for the Murong family to raise their arms and call for troops to return to the country.

Mrs. Wang knows this.

When Murong Bo and his wife Wang Jin sent filial piety to the successive prefects in order to cover up the inside story of Yanziwu, most of them used the relationship of the Wang family, and this matter could not be hidden from Mrs. Wang.

Later, the news of Murong Bo's death came out, and Wang Jin was responsible for the government's affairs.

It's just that there are unforeseen circumstances, Wang Jin was already depressed because of her husband's early death, and she was busy working for many years and died suddenly.

Murong Fu was young and ignorant at the time, and he had not officially taken over the family business, and as soon as his mother left, most of the relationship between his father and generation was cut off. Mrs. Wang saw that Murong Fuyan had a low master, lack of talent, and had a bad relationship with Wang Jin, so at most for the sake of her relatives over the years, she secretly protected the Murong family from being liquidated by the government, and she would never do it to help the Murong family secretly train the army.

Because of this, today's Swallow Dock is deserted, and there is no longer the appearance of prosperity in the past.

To put it bluntly, in the past ten years, Murong Fu has been eating his old book and has cut off the way to deliver fresh blood. But it is not easy to dredge up the relationship from scratch, not to mention that Murong Fuzi is already a little arrogant, and he has no ability to do this at all, and his retainers are not qualified to come forward.

I had to focus on instigating war and chaos, as well as gathering martial arts people, these two aspects.

Now Mrs. Wang promised to help take care of the Shenhezhuang in Dongting Reed Pond by Taihu Lake, on the one hand, she was touched by Murong Fu's recent performance, paving the way for Wang Yuyan's future, and secretly having family affection as the bottom, I am afraid that when she plans to do nothing, she will abandon Yanziwu, break her tail to survive, and ensure the continuation of the bloodline of the two families.

At this time, the kinship is different from that of later generations, and discord will not be reconciled, and there will be no hesitation when it is time to help and support. Even some stories of righteous annihilation of relatives that have been circulated abroad are also helpless actions to negotiate properly between relatives and sacrifice some clansmen to retain their bloodline.

As for Mrs. Wang's thoughts, Murong Fu could guess a little, but he didn't care much about it.

After experiencing the era of information explosion, the concept of power is not the same as that of most people at this time, and what Murong Fu wants to do at present is mainly to reverse Mrs. Wang's personality concept first, so as not to make the backyard fire and the house restless.

When Wuyazi is picked up, let their father and daughter meet, and completely clarify the misunderstanding and get back the family affection, Mrs. Wang's heart knot for her parents' feelings can be lifted for the most part, and then depending on the situation, Duan Zhengchun's old pervert will be cleaned up. The two families work together, and their strength is enough to deter the small crumbs and stand tall.

To stumble Mrs. Wang with the affairs of Hezhuang, Yanziwu and shops everywhere have Azhu Abi to cooperate with Baofeng and the two to take care of it, and it will not be a problem to be stable for a few months.

At this point, it can be regarded as a proper arrangement, and he can go to Western Xia with confidence, and Murong Fu feels a lot more relaxed in his heart.

Turning to the garden, Wang Yuyan had been waiting for a long time, and the joy in her eyes was about to overflow, "Cousin! ”

"Yu Yan, why don't you wait in the gazebo, Duanyang is very hot, and you are not afraid of heat stroke."

"I'm not that weak."

Wang Yuyan whispered a word of defense, turned her head and pulled Murong Fu into the pavilion, and pointed to the stone table as if offering a treasure, "I have prepared iced plum juice and refreshments to relieve the heat, cousin, use some quickly." ”

"Okay."

When the two were alone, Murong Fu usually spoke very little, most of the time he listened to Wang Yuyan talking, Murong Fu occasionally interjected one or two strange words to amuse, and Wang Yuyan was used to getting along for a while.

Sitting in the gazebo, enjoying refreshments in the summer breeze, Wang Yuyan, who has a beautiful posture beside her, chatters about the oolong anecdotes of the family.

Looking at the scenery in front of him, Murong Fu was a little distracted, such a scene was leisurely and leisurely, and full of life, making people calm and satisfied.

After a while, Wang Yuyan's soft and beautiful voice gradually became quieter, and finally stopped moving.

Murong Fu turned his head and saw Wang Yuyan sitting opposite him, holding his little face in both hands, looking at him blankly.

Murong Fu's delicate appearance made Murong Fu want to laugh, and asked casually, "What's wrong?" ”

"My cousin is so good-looking......"

Wang Yuyan probably didn't come back to her senses, and the thoughts in her heart came out of her mouth in a daze, and both of them were a little stunned for a while.

Murong Fu immediately regained his senses and laughed under Wang Yuyan's embarrassed gaze.

After a fight, the garden of Mantuo Villa was run by the two of them, and the time was noon.

It was time for lunch, Wang Yuyan thought that Murong Fu was going back to Yanziwu, and her mood gradually became a little low, full of reluctance.

Murong Fu said with a smile: "Today Duanyang, I think my aunt will not be stingy with a pair of dishes and chopsticks, let's go over together." ”

Wang Yuyan was pleasantly surprised when she heard this, and pulled Murong Fu's sleeve and refused to let go.

In the past, Murong Fu would offer to stay for dinner, even if there was something, he would come and go in a hurry, as if the ground of Mantuo Mountain Villa was hot.

The simple Wang Yuyan is far from being as spiritual as her understanding of martial arts classics in terms of human feelings, on the contrary, she is a little dull.

Sensing that Murong Fu was different from the past, he quietly attributed the reason for Murong Fu's change to his love for himself, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

"Cousin, you're so nice."

Murong Fu didn't know how to react when he heard this sentence that had no beginning or end.

is a human being in two lives, but this experience of falling in love is not at all, and the original Murong Fu has zero experience, and he has not even experienced the baptism of the teachers' micro-plot love multi-person martial arts films.

But it's useless to go through baptism, that's the last step of experience, and now what is going on with this sentence you are so good, Murong Fu can't understand it at all.

It happened that he had already arrived at the door, so he simply skipped it and walked in.

Whether it is Mrs. Wang or Murong Fu, they have not experienced such a long time. Mrs. Wang is usually a mother and daughter, and sometimes even eats alone in the room. Not to mention Murong Fu, he occasionally drinks with his retainers, and most of the time he is alone.

Now the three of them are at the same table, although there are not many people, but the feelings are completely different.

At first, it was a little embarrassing, but it wasn't until two or three glasses of realgar wine that the atmosphere eased a little.

At this time, Murong Fu felt that the custom of drinking realgar in Duanyang was really good, otherwise Mrs. Wang and Yu Yan would not drink with him at all, and this embarrassing atmosphere would not be alleviated even after eating.

After eating, I chatted with Mrs. Wang for a while, and when she went to take a break, Wang Yuyan sent it out.

During the meal, she learned that Murong Fu was going north for several months, and Wang Yuyan's eyes were slightly red at this time.

"Cousin......"

Murong Fu is also reluctant, the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, not to mention that he doesn't think he is a hero, the beauty is current, this pass has not been thought of at all, "Yu Yan, it is imperative to go north this time, you wait for me at home, and when I return, I will discuss with my uncle and get engaged to you." ”

The original intention was to appease the beauty, but after saying it, it didn't feel right, this is not considered a flag for yourself, it is really unlucky.

Thinking of this, he was in no mood to speak, caressed the beauty's cheek, looked at her shy and reluctant to dodge, forced his heart to be reluctant, and turned to leave.
