Chapter 10: The Queen of the Peony Blossom (Part I)
The study of the Zhu family has both the pride of the martial arts family and the elegance of the scholarly family. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info On the wall, there are carved bows, tiger skin antlers, and there are also famous Danqing and Coats Mobao. On the carved long case of pear blossom wood, there is an incense burner, a tea set, and four treasures of the study. The two rows of display cabinets are also filled with curiosities. There are not many books in the study, they are all precious ancient books, just for collection.
In addition to Zhu Wancheng, there were also two injured brothers Zhu Fuguo and Zhu Yanshan in the room, their wounds were bandaged, but their faces were pale due to excessive blood loss, and they were half lying and half sitting on soft chairs.
Zhu Wancheng hurriedly walked out from behind the long case to give a salute, and the two brothers also tried to bow in the chair. Zhu Yushi said: "The injuries of the two sons are not light, don't be polite, let's go back and recuperate." Zhu Wancheng said: "They fainted on the battlefield and couldn't see the appearance of Engong, so they made a special trip to wait here to thank them for saving their lives." Zhu Yushi said: "The two sons don't have to be polite. ”
Zhu Fuguo arched his hand on the chair and said earnestly: "If it weren't for the help of the Grace Father, the family would have been wiped out tonight, and I wish the family to be grateful to the Father." Zhu Yanshan also said: "There are hundreds of friends who have been favored by our Zhu family, and no one has come to help tonight, but Engong and we have never known each other, but he is willing to take risks to help, so that our brothers will see what they say." Zhu Yushi said: "The future is still uncertain, the horse gang is bound to seek revenge again, and it will not be too late to thank you after really helping you get out of danger." Zhu Fuguo said: "No matter what the future is, Engong is Engong, but I don't dare to ask Engong's surname." Zhu Yushi said: "In Xia Fu Chou, everyone will call me by my name in the future, don't call Engong anymore, I really can't afford it." Zhu Yanshan said: "Yes, I was dumbfounded when I learned that Brother Fu's name was dead." Our brother retired first, and my father still had important matters to discuss with Brother Fu. Then eight servants appeared from behind the screen, and carried them back to rest.
At this time, Zhu Yushi and Zhu Wancheng were left in the study, Zhu Yushi asked first: "When I left, there were only a few dart masters left in the house, why did so many people pop up now?" Zhu Wancheng smiled: "The old man's study and bedroom each have a secret passage leading to the cellar, which can accommodate three or four hundred people, and the family, women and children who don't know martial arts are all hidden in." After Engong repelled the horse gang, the old man called them out. Zhu Yushi suddenly said: "I see, why don't the old gentleman and the two sons also hide in it, if the Ma Gang can't find you, won't you be spared?" Zhu Wancheng smiled bitterly: "The people of the Ma Gang are not stupid. Seeing that our family suddenly disappeared, we would definitely suspect that we were hiding, and then we found a secret passage and sealed the passage, and if we set a fire, none of us would be able to escape. Zhu Yushi said: "There is no exit from the cellar, I have seen a tunnel in the house leading directly to the outside of the city." Zhu Wancheng smiled bitterly: "I never thought that I would be forced to this step in Luoyang before, so I was not prepared." Besides, even if you escape from Luoyang, you can't escape the pursuit of the horse gang, and there are their secret sentinels within a radius of hundreds of miles. ”
Zhu Yushi said: "Since you can't escape, you won't escape, just fight them to the death here." Zhu Wancheng paused and said, "What I want to discuss with Brother Fu is this matter." Although Brother Fu's martial arts are clever, but the heroes are difficult to reach four hands, the horse gang alone has two or three thousand people in Huangxingtang, and the hall master Hu Xinghai is a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, far from Jiao Tiannan's comparison, can be regarded as Brother Fu's fierce opponent. The comeback of the horse gang must be led by him, he is ruthless and ruthless, I am afraid that none of us will survive at that time. Zhu Yushi said: "What does the old man think?" Zhu Wancheng said: "The old man has two sons and a daughter, among which the younger girl is the most loved by the old man, and she is also the inevitable target of the horse gang, so the old man implored Brother Fu to take her away and fly high, so that the old man has a wish." Zhu Yushi said: "Then what should you do?" Zhu Wancheng smiled bitterly: "It's just a death, and living one more day is already earned." Brother Fu must not think of us, as long as the little girl is rescued, the old man will repay him by making cattle and horses in the next life. ”
Zhu Yushi groaned for a while, difficult to decide, knowing that Zhu Wancheng was right, he was by no means the opponent of thousands of horse thieves alone, but how could he watch the Zhu family annihilate, and hesitated for a while. Zhu Wancheng said: "The husband should have a choice, rather than die together, it is better to save the people who can be saved." Zhu Yushi said: "Did the old gentleman ever think that if I rescued the eldest lady, the horse gang would be very likely to slaughter the families of the two sons under the fury of the Ma Gang, I heard that the eldest son has two sons, and the second son's wife is pregnant with Liujia, can you bear to let them be implicated? They are the incense of the family." Zhu Wancheng's face was like ashes, his body shrunk into a ball, trembling slightly, and he looked very afraid, even if he had more property and more power, he had to be afraid when facing the destruction of the entire family. Zhu Yushi had made up his mind, put his hand on his shoulder, and said categorically: "I'm not going anywhere, I'll stay and fight with the horse gang, don't worry, old man." ”
Zhu Wancheng felt that the hand on his shoulder had given him incomparable courage and strength, and said, "If you start a war, Brother Fu has a good chance of winning." Zhu Yushi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know, but there is always a glimmer of hope." Zhu Wancheng said: "Okay, Brother Fu can do whatever he says, we will all listen to you." Zhu Yushi said: "First of all, let all the families of the two sons be transferred here to prevent the horse gang from attacking." Tomorrow after noon, all the people in the house will take refuge in the cellar, and bring more dry food and water, and no one will come out unless I call you. Zhu Wancheng said: "Even the old man is hiding in?" Zhu Yushi said: "Yes." All of them. Zhu Wancheng changed color and said: "No, how can you let Brother Fu fight alone." Besides, the old man is also the host, and he can not show up. There are still more than a dozen people in the dart guard home who can still fight, and we will deal with it together. Zhu Yushi shook his head and said, "No, I have to take care of you when you are there, and it is difficult to concentrate on the battle." Zhu Wancheng said: "Brother Fu just kills the enemy, whether we live or die, we just want to share your worries, even if it can play a little role." Zhu Yushi said resolutely: "Since the old gentleman has full authority to deal with it, then please do as he says." It makes sense in the underneath. ”
If someone dared to speak to Zhu Wancheng in this tone before, he would have been furious, but now he only has gratitude in his heart, so he had to give in: "Since Brother Fu insists, the old man will obey his fate." Zhu Yushi nodded and said, "Then ask the old gentleman to send someone to bring the families of the two sons overnight." Zhu Wancheng said: "Yes." I'll send someone. Zhu Yushi said: "In addition, please prepare a quiet room for Xiaxia, and practice overnight in Xiaxia to strive for a breakthrough." ”
The wing room prepared by Zhu Wan when he became Zhu Yu was the first-class guest room in the fourth courtyard. Zhu Yushi sat on the bed to practice, and when he was saving people, he inadvertently broke through the entrance and found that he could practice the last three forms in the "Yijin Sutra". In the past, every time I practiced, it was difficult to climb to the sky, but now it is all the pulses are connected, and it is extremely smooth, and a diagram can be practiced in only one hour, and each time I finish practicing an internal force, my internal strength will increase greatly, and after three diagrams, his internal strength will increase three times, and the sky has brightened at this time.
Zhu Yushi returned his true qi to the dantian, opened his eyes, and gently clenched his fist, feeling infinite power surging in his body, and his confidence in the upcoming vicious battle doubled. He put on his shoes and went out to breathe. The cool breeze in the courtyard hit the body, the thick fog was filled, and the distance seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze, and it was hazy and could not be seen. He stretched his waist, and suddenly smelled the pleasant fragrance of flowers, the fragrance was like drunk, the sound of the piano in the depths was leisurely, like a real illusion, the string sound was soothing, endless, and the aftersound lingered in the garden. Zhu Yushi followed the sound of the piano, walked out of the circular side door, walked through a small garden, and passed through a round door, the fragrance of flowers was more rich and fragrant, and the courtyard was dotted with purple and red in the thick fog, which turned out to be a peony forest. The flowers are splendid, colorful, bright, and the leaves are green. Under the flower forest is a cobblestone path, winding forward, and the sound of the piano is closer.
Zhu Yushi stopped to enjoy the flowers, and saw that the peony in the courtyard was distributed according to the category, there were yellow, green, dark purple, pink, white, pink white, red, black, snow blue, the flowers were stained with morning dew, such as delicate tears, Chu Chu was emotional and heartbreaking, it was really a mist to see the flowers, such as a dream fairyland. The closer the sound of the piano is, at the end of the flower path is a pond, which is connected to a nine-curved wooden bridge, leading to an octagonal Zhu Pavilion. (To be continued.) )
