"What my father said makes sense. When young Zhu Kui becomes famous, if his father uses his name to lure him, he will surely be tempted!" Zhu Zhi echoed. His idea is very simple. A young man who is worthy of being twenty years old will be able to win in less than ten years.
Having led the family into one of the four recognized Jiangdong surnames, there are a few people who can't be tempted by such a peerless young man's reputation.
The three people talked and finally got a direction. In fact, the core of the Zhu family in Wu County was three people. The discussion between the three people was like this, making tea and drinking tea on the stone platform by the pond, while chatting.
The pattern is going on, and since they are all brothers and nephews, there is no bad blood between them. Even if the three of them are not top-notch consultants, the third brother, the cobbler, can still brainstorm and come up with countermeasures.
Regardless of whether the countermeasure is good or bad, right or wrong, it is a way to deal with it after all. It is better than many people arguing in confusion and being at a loss. And the facts have proved that since Xu Sheng's rebellion in Kuaiji caused the Zhu family's reputation in Wu County to plummet, the three of them have been close to each other.
The situation of the Zhu family has really stabilized over the past few years, and the family is slowly recovering. Even if the recovery is slow, it is ultimately improving.
Zhu Fa is over fifty years old, and Zhu Yang is about to turn fifty. Only Zhu Zhi, who is in his thirties, has the most sensitive facial features.
A strange smell passed into Zhu Zhi's nose, causing him to sniff hard involuntarily.
"What's wrong? Zhi'er?" Seeing this, Zhu Fa asked aloud.
Zhu Zhi did not reply immediately. He waved his palm lightly to sweep a large amount of air into his nose for identification. After a few times, a strong sense of ominousness came to the back of his head, and he murmured to himself: "Why did such a sound come suddenly?"
A strong smell of blood?”
As soon as he finished speaking to himself, before Zhu Fa and Zhu Yang could react, there were bursts of rapid footsteps, a swishing noise, and the accompanying sound of clanging steel.
The stone platform by the pool where Zhu Zhi, his son and three other people were sitting was located in a large garden in the backyard. It occupied a very large area, covering an area of more than an hectare, with pure primitive woods, quiet pool water, and quiet paths.
It is a leisurely and beautiful place, and there have long been rules for the stone platform by the pool. The servants in the mansion know that they are not allowed to approach it at will, unless there is an urgent matter, and they can only report it.
Such urgent footsteps were followed by two figures in the blink of an eye. The three of them stood up in a hurry. At the same time, they couldn't help but feel in their hearts. Something bad must have happened.
"Master, it's not good, a large number of strong men have entered the house!"
Startled by the scream, Zhu Zhi and the others took a closer look. The two figures were wearing red clothes embroidered with red characters, carrying swords on their waists, and had panic expressions on their faces. They were the guards of their own house, and one of them was
One is also the commander-in-chief of the guard.
The captain was doing better, but the guard next to him looked miserable, with blood on his face and half of his body stained red.
"Nonsense, what kind of strongman? This is Wu County, the seat of Wujun. How could a strongman break into my Zhu Mansion? Where are the county soldiers? Why didn't the county soldiers warn that bandits were attacking the city?" Zhu Yang's temper was the worst among the three.
The more fiery one, Dang even stepped forward, raised the bloody guard and shouted.
"Second Master, really, we don't know if there were any bandits attacking the city, but there were really strong men who broke into the house. They sneaked in quietly from the wall one by one. First they secretly killed many brothers who were patrolling, and then they were discovered.
After that, they went on a killing spree. There were hundreds of people, all of them extremely brutal. Many brothers were killed or injured, and my subordinates came here to report them."
The guard soldier who was covered in blood was speechless as Zhu Yang held him up, but the guard captain still had some sense and briefly explained the situation.
"What's the situation now?" Zhu Zhi clenched his fists, stepped forward and asked coldly.
"My subordinates left, and the situation was not happy..."
Before the guard captain finished speaking, another young commander came back from outside the path with several guards, most of whom were stained with blood. When he saw Zhu Zhi and the other three people in the distance, he shouted loudly: "Master, leave quickly.
..Go quickly...The strong man is fierce, the brothers have been defeated and can't resist it anymore."….
"What!" Upon hearing this and the miserable looks of the many guards in front of them, the three of them finally panicked.
"Young masters, how is the young lady?" Zhu Fa forced himself to calm down and asked.
"My subordinates don't know that the strong men killed them too suddenly. They are all proficient in battle formations and have strong crossbows in their hands. These subordinates are no match at all." The newly retired guard leader said in fear.
"What? You losers, you actually abandoned your master?" When Zhu Fa heard this, his head was dizzy and he was about to collapse.
The few guards below lowered their heads in shame, but they were born in the Zhu family of Wu County and were the most loyal servants of the Zhu family. Only then did they enter the direct lineage of the master's family as guards. Although they were scolded by Zhu Fa, they still shouted loyally.
: "Master, hurry up and retreat through the back door path. If you're late, you won't be able to leave."
"Father, leave first and come back one day for revenge." At this moment, Zhu Zhi was also extremely sad, and he was even more filled with hatred. Who on earth, who is he, wanted to deal with my Zhu family, and so suddenly and cruelly?
No one should be spared, both above and below should be killed.
"Let's go!" At this moment, Zhu Fa also knew that he couldn't think too much.
"Brother, nephew, you go first, I will take the rear, and I will follow you soon. I must see who it is, who wants to suddenly attack my Zhu family." Zhu Yang's eyes were red, and he was obviously extremely sad.
The Zhu family of Wu County is based in Wu County, where it is governed. Within Wu County, the Zhu family's mansion belongs to the direct line, and does not live in the same mansion with other side lines. The side branches are divided into various farms and properties. The more recent ones,
There are also houses purchased in Wu County.
In the main house of Zhu Mansion, all the direct descendants live, including Zhu Zhi's younger brothers and Zhu Yang's children. However, among the third generation descendants, Zhu Zhi is the eldest, the most resourceful and the most intelligent.
There are talented people, and the rest are just mediocre dudes. Therefore, under normal circumstances, Zhu Fa and Zhu Yang will not come to discuss matters. Their task is to spread the branches and leaves.
But children are children after all, and now their lives are in danger. He, Zhu Yang, will take people back to kill them no matter what, and see if they can come out, as many as they can.
As brothers, after many years of getting along with each other, Zhu Fa naturally guessed what his second brother was thinking. He remembered that he was also a man with strong martial arts skills. Only his son Zhu Zhi in the family could defeat him. By letting him cut off the heir apparent, he could be stable.
In order to control the situation and rescue several sons and nephews, Zhu Zhi would not be the only one left.
"Well, second brother, please be careful. Let's gather at the farm outside the city. I will quickly summon the private soldiers of the clan. With those three thousand people in hand, we will be safe. We will definitely fight to the death with the murderer."
Non-stop." Zhu Fa's face looked murderous, as if it had real substance.
So, Zhu Yang was alone and rushed back to the front yard, looking for his sons. On the other side, under the protection of more than ten trusted guards, Zhu Fa and Zhu Zhi went out of the back door smoothly and walked through the door.
They walked through the streets of Wuxian County and out of the city gate. Along the way, the three of them saw pedestrians and ordinary people shopping and walking as usual. There was no sign of bandits entering the city. Moreover, everyone was staring at them in a panic and pointing.
I was guessing what happened to the Zhu family in Wu County, why everyone in the Zhu family was covered in blood.
Unfortunately, along the way, Zhu Fa and Zhu Zhi were not in the mood to consider the thoughts of passers-by. They only had one thought in their minds. The only people who could sneak into his Zhu family were the other three Jiangdong surnames, and their equipment was so powerful.
The crossbow is obviously a military weapon, and it can obviously be worn by ordinary people. The guard captain just said that a large number of strong men hold strong crossbows. Could it be Moling?
The two father and son exchanged glances while running in the direction of their own farm. They both understood each other's meaning. The father and son connected with each other and thought of going together. They said with hatred in their hearts: "I will lead people to Moling someday."
Let’s take a harsh revenge.”
After turning half of the woods, we will soon reach the farm. Once there, we will be safe. And this woods has become the last obstacle for Zhu Zhi and others...
It's a pity, it's a pity. Just as Zhu Fa and Zhu Zhi were gradually breathing a sigh of relief, they could calm down and reflect on all the changes that had happened today.
At that moment, "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The sound of three flying feathers piercing the air, and three swift trajectories, instantly penetrated the chests of the three guards before anyone could react.
The boss of the three guards, whose eyes suddenly widened, looked at the human world for the last time with nostalgia, as if saying: "I don't want to die!"
Something unexpected happened, and unfortunately they were ambushed. The courage that Zhu Zhi and his son had just regained started to tremble again, and they stopped in their tracks.
"Where are you, rat, why don't you come out quickly?" Zhu Zhi supported his father's body and shouted sharply to the surrounding woods.
As soon as he finished speaking, as expected, dozens of figures came out from behind the woods one after another. After careful counting, they found that there were fifty well-equipped strong men, each holding a sword in one hand and pointing their crossbows at each other.
Looking at Zhu Zhi's side, there were originally 14 people guarding his father and son, but three of them fell down, leaving only 11 people, a gap of almost five times.
"Young Master!" A frightening and familiar voice caught Zhu Zhi's attention. When he looked again, it was Zhu Liao who was sent to Moling. Why was he here? He tilted his neck and did not dare to look at Zhu Zhi and his son.
"Zhu Liao, you are such a bastard! You betrayed the family, you will die!" Old Zhu Fa, who was supported by Zhu Zhi, saw this man, and his mind suddenly understood. He was immediately furious and his blood surged.
Roaring.
Without thinking too much, he knew that Zhu Liao had been bribed, and why was Zhu Liao's mansion in Wu County so easily breached? It was still in the daytime, and it took the guards a long time to react.
This Zhu Liao was originally Zhu Zhi's confidant and a branch brother of his family. Naturally, he often went in and out of the palace. He was very aware of the patrols and defenses of the guards. He calculated it mentally but not deliberately. Plus the opponent had strong soldiers and powerful crossbows. It was natural.
Like paper, in pieces.
"Which of the three gentlemen of the Zhu family in Moling is here right now?" Zhu Zhi asked a middle-aged knight-errant scribe with a sword who was facing Zhu Liao.
"Haha, I am none other than Ma Yuanyi, the one that little brother Zhu Liao has always wanted to replace." Ma Yuanyi held up his bronze sword and pointed at Zhu Liao while laughing. The latter was so embarrassed that he broke into a cold sweat after being pointed at.
, but didn’t dare to say anything.
"My son Zhu Kui destroyed our family and made you suffer here. What do you want to do? You have killed so many people from the Zhu family in Wu County. Do you really want to kill them all?" The person who asked the question was
Zhu Fa, who mustered up his strength.
"Master Zhu, why do you ask questions knowingly? Ever since you harbored evil intentions towards my master, you should have expected this situation. You guys have been arrogant for a long time!" Ma Yuanyi shook his head and sighed, but his words were contemptuous and contemptuous.
Zhu Zhi is the person with the most powerful martial arts of the Zhu family in Wu County. Zhu Fa is his father, so he naturally has good martial arts. Coupled with Zhu Yang, the three core direct descendants can be said to be accompanied by excellent martial arts.
"Zhi'er, since the other party won't give us a way to survive, our father and son will fight with him." Zhu Fa said to the side.
"You gentlemen of Wujun! If you retreat, you will die. Fight with me. The way to survive is in front of you." With no way to retreat, Zhu Zhi also wanted to fight to the death. He no longer supported his father, but faced the remaining eleven guards.
Give a loud shout.
If you do not retreat but advance, the enemy will pass.
"The mantis's arm is like a chariot!" Ma Yuanyi snorted coldly, waved his hand, and fifty of his capable soldiers surrounded him. He personally stepped forward to take action. For many days, he had been plotted by the Zhu family of Wu County, but due to various reasons he could only
He endured and endured, and all the resentment burst out at once.
