Chapter 17: The Three Masters (Seeking Follow-up, Asking for Votes)
At this time, the wind was howling, the sky was covered with lead clouds, the snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the sky and the earth were white.
In a small courtyard in the deepest part of Dai's mansion, within thirty steps, no idlers are allowed to approach, there are eight burly men dressed in leather armor, holding long knives, looking around vigilantly, all of them have martial arts.
And there are people patrolling the yard with giant mastiffs.
This is the Rongshou Garden where Dai Wei, the old man of the Dai family, is located, located in the northwest corner of Dai Mansion.
It is a large compound with five main rooms, five wings, a study and a small garden.
At this time, the snow was falling, and the weather suddenly became cold, and Dai Wei was enjoying the snow in the pavilion with Yun Zhenshan, the owner of Yunshui Villa, and Murong Jiu, the head of the Murong family.
Dai Wei was half-leaning on the soft couch, his sideburns were frosty white, and he was old, but his pupils were full of light, which made people know that he was not an ordinary old man.
There was a copper kettle warm wine on the stone table in the pavilion, and there was no servant waiting beside it, only an old servant standing outside the pavilion, waiting from a distance.
Yun Zhenshan is dressed in a navy blue brocade robe, wearing an iron crown, next year will be more than half a hundred, his face is still like a crown of jade, his figure is straight, but a pair of big hands are hidden in his sleeves.
He got up from the stone chair and looked out to the south.
"This snow is good, good snow!"
"After this heavy snowfall, the war can stop for a while."
"I'll be able to take a breather for a while."
When Dai Wei heard this, he was a little melancholy, drank a glass of wine and said: "To be honest, under the rule of the Yuan Court, it is quite clear, and that Ogedai Khan led the army to fight in the south and the north. ”
"Dajin, which has been invincible for many years, was defeated by the Mongolian 300,000 iron cavalry in a battle, and was attacked by the Great Song Dynasty, and in a blink of an eye, the country was ruined and people died."
"The luck of this dynasty, thinking about it really makes me feel shocked!"
In the middle corner of the pavilion, there was a noble lady sitting on a soft chair, with towering temples, a goose yellow palace skirt girded at the waist, thin eyebrows and long eyes, and her skin was as delicate as jade, and there was no trace of time.
She looked at Dai Wei and spoke, there was a coldness in her voice, but it was particularly nice, "What do these things have to do with us?" ”
"In the final analysis, we are just ants under this general trend, and it is not easy to survive."
Dai Wei sighed and said, "I also want to ignore the world, after all, at such an old age, how long can I live?" ”
"It's just that after all, we have to think about those future generations who don't make it and seek a future for them."
"Now the Han court has moved its capital to Lin'an, a corner of peace; The Jin people retreated to Zhongzhou; The Mongols occupied the north. ”
"Now that we are living under the rule of the Mongols, we have already been a thorn in the side of the Song court, and those eagle dogs in the speed room of the Privy Council have coerced and lured us over the years, and even assassinated us."
"We are now in the Northland, there are enemies everywhere, and if we are not careful, it will be a disaster to destroy the door, so we must not be careless!"
When Yun Zhenshan heard this, he couldn't help but meditate, his expression was even more gloomy, and after a while, he said with a smile: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and it is not easy for us to struggle to survive in this troubled era." ”
"Now that I am cooperating with the Mongols, although I am seeking skin with the tiger, as long as I am cautious, it can be regarded as a way to live."
"It's better than being like those old friends, who are in different places, or who gather in the mountains and forests, and die in the world."
"Ogedai Khan is a great talent, and he is in the prime of life, I think that the Great Mongolia will not change in a short period of time, but there is hope to dominate the world."
Dai Wei's pupils flashed with essence, and he muttered: "I also think the same way, this is also an opportunity for us, we must seize it tightly." ”
"If we can contribute to the process of Ogedai Khan's unification of the world, the three of us will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in the north."
"Not to mention the feudal marquis, at least the glory and wealth, benefit the children and grandchildren, there is no problem."
Murong Jiu's face was indifferent, she didn't participate in these conversations, but there was some helplessness and lamentation in her eyes, she raised her wine glass, drank a glass, and was about to drop her hand, suddenly frozen.
I heard a loud noise like thunder roaring from the gate of Dai's mansion, followed by a cold voice, "Listen to the people of the Dai family, my bloody hand slaughter will let you wait for the chickens and dogs to stay today!" ”
Dai Wei also heard the movement, his face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Butler, go and see what happened?" ”
The old servant, who had been waiting for a long time in the wind and snow, said yes, and then hurried out to investigate.
"Children and grandchildren are not successful!" Watching the housekeeper leave, Dai Wei sighed and said, "At such an age, I still have to work hard, I really don't know when I can make people worry." ”
Yun Zhenshan smiled bitterly: "You old guy, your three sons can be literate and martial, known as the three heroes of Pingyao, and they have been famous in the north over the years. ”
"It's much stronger than the evil barrier in my family, if you say so, then I'm really ashamed."
While the two were talking, the old servant had already hurried back, walked up to Dai Wei, and said with a pale face: "Master, something has happened." ”
He didn't dare to look up, only heard Dai Wei say, "What happened?" ”
"Master, the eldest young master was killed by a strongman from nowhere at the door of his house, and the two disciples under his door and the patrolling guards were a total of thirteen people, and now there is no survivor, all of them died tragically on the spot."
The old servant paused and said, "The strong man claimed to be a bloody man, armed with an iron staff, and had already killed him from outside the gate. ”
"The twenty-seven guards in the front yard, together with Deacon Zhao Huaizhong, were all killed!"
"It's about to be unstoppable......"
With a "bang", Dai Wei fell down the glass in his hand, and the ground was suddenly littered with debris and wine.
He stood up, gritted his teeth and grinned: "All dead? Even Changgong is dead? Are the eight deacons in the front yard all dead? ”
"You can't believe it, I don't believe it!"
Dai Wei was suddenly angry and roared: "Even my son dares to kill, this bloody man has so much courage, aren't you afraid that I will raid my family and destroy the clan?" ”
The roar shook the wind and snow and was heard far away.
I only heard the sound of "dong dong" twice, and when I saw the old servant touching the ground with his head again and again, he suddenly had a black blue on his forehead, and said loudly: "The villain will never dare to deceive the master." ”
Dai Wei gasped heavily, his eyes were blood-red, and he kicked the old servant in front of him away, and his head slammed into the rockery not far away, and the scarlet blood and brains suddenly flowed to the ground.
"What a bad luck!" The blood in front of him finally made him wake up from his anger, gritted his teeth and said: "It seems that if I haven't made a move all these years, any cat or dog will dare to bully me." ”
"First the Red Refining Fairy Li Mochou, and then this bloody hand slaughter that came out of nowhere, if you don't cut this person with a thousand knives, I'm afraid that all the heroes of the North will be a laughing stock for my Dai family."
Yun Zhenshan and Murong Jiu on the side both turned a blind eye to the dead old servant, and they didn't bear it at all.
In these years, the life of his own servant is not as precious as a mastiff, so he will kill it.
In troubled times, human life is like a mustard, and dead people are common.
Yun Zhenshan opened his mouth and said: "Brother Dai is angry, I have never heard of the bandit slaughtered by the bloody hand, I am afraid that it is the madman who ran out of the deep mountains and old forests." ”
"I don't know how thick the sky is, and I want to step on the name of my three major families to become famous."
"It's also to blame that his life is not good, and he happened to bump into the hands of the three of us."
"Since I've met it, why don't I go out and have a look together, and see where the madman came from!"
Murong Jiu also stood up at this time, picked up a sheathed ancient sword on the table, raised his thin eyebrows, and said in a cold tone: "Old ghost Dai, I think you are going back more and more as you live." ”
"If someone dares to make trouble, go out and kill it, what's the use of being incompetent and furious here?"
Dai Wei's face turned pale, and he held back this sentence from his mouth: "Thank you two, let's go." ”
He stood up, took the lead and walked towards the courtyard, and when he reached the gate of the courtyard, he shouted: "Wang Zhonghe." ”
Suddenly, a henchman wearing leather armor came to Dai Wei in front of him and responded loudly: "What does the master command?" ”
Dai Wei gritted his teeth, and Sen Sen's words burst out of his mouth: "Pass on my message, transfer three hundred nursing homes, carry a knife and a bow, and be on call at any time." ”
"Yes!" This henchman hurriedly responded and was about to go out.
At this moment, I saw a low figure wearing a hat across the wind and snow outside the courtyard gate.
The eight guards who were guarding outside the courtyard were shocked and drew their swords out of their sheaths one after another.
There was a loud pop, and the man, armed with an iron rod, smashed a corpse far away, and fell to the snow, bleeding all over the ground.
Lu Nianchou came suddenly, as if he was walking in the courtyard, approached the small courtyard, and saw Dai Wei and the other three.
He smiled slightly, made a gesture, and said: "The younger generation has seen the old man Dai, the blood in Dai's mansion is like a river, and the old man can still be at peace, which is really admirable." ”
