The five brothers of the Peng family looked at each other and said in unison: "We five brothers hereby swear that the Peng family will always be the heir of Dawangzhuang and will never rebel."
"Yes, Boren." Tian Hu also said: "This is the intention of your third senior brother and Xiao Erlang, and it is also my intention."
Wang Lun stretched out his hand to help the five brothers of the Peng family up. He was extremely excited. He secretly said that today, Tian Hu and other three senior brothers have returned, and the five brothers of the Peng family have joined. In addition to his own four brothers and sisters, Xiaohu and Shi Jin, the Wang family in Hebei has already It can be said that he has re-emerged in the world.
Among the current members of the Wang family, even without Senior Brother Tian Hu, Liang Xing and Zhao Yun are among the top masters in the world. Although Peng Wu is young, his martial arts skills are clearly superior to his own. In addition, his fourth uncle Wang Jin is even more powerful. In the realm of martial arts masters, the Wang family's strength is no weaker than any other martial arts family. Today, the Hebei Wang family has finally truly returned to the list of the four major martial arts families.
Wang Lun, Wang Yin, Xiao Wu, Shi Jin, and Xiao Hu all clasped their fists and bowed to Tian Hu, Liang Xing, Zhao Yun, and the Peng family Wang brothers. At this time, there was no need to say half a word of thanks.
Zhou Tong, Zhuge Mingfeng, Xiao Jianfang and people from Jiangnan Wulin also came to congratulate Wang Lun and congratulate the Hebei Wang family on their re-emergence.
While everyone was talking, they suddenly heard a roar, and the roar was full of grief. Wang Lun and others hurriedly looked for the sound, only to see Zhuge Lizhu looking up to the sky and roaring, his head covered with hair. His hair rose into the sky, looking like a madman, and he was holding a person in his arms. It was Zhuge Lizhu's wife Zhu Lijun, but at this time Zhu Lijun's face was pale and seemed to be lifeless.
Zhuge Mingfeng, Wang Lun and others hurried over. Wang Lun pulled Zhuge Lishuang who was living nearby and asked, "What's going on?"
Before Zhuge Lishuang spoke, tears were already streaming down his face. He sighed and said, "It's my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law's injuries were too serious and she couldn't be saved."
Just as Wang Lun was about to step forward, he saw that Zhuge Lizhu had already stood up unsteadily with his wife in his arms, and walked towards the house step by step.
Wang Lun was about to step forward to persuade him, but Zhuge Mingfeng sighed and said, "No need to persuade. Li Zhu has a stubborn personality and no one can persuade him. He can only let him resolve it slowly. Fortunately, Li Zhu also knows it." If you are a righteous person, nothing will happen to you, so please rest assured."
Wang Lun and others had no choice but to give up and split up to treat other injured people. Wang Lun was walking among the injured when he suddenly saw a familiar figure. He was one of his seven companions, the youngest one. Ou Xiaoqi.
There was a fierce battle last night. During the melee, all seven companions were missing. Wang Lun and Zhu Wu had been looking for them, but they didn't see a single figure after searching for a long time. Wang Lun thought that all the companions might have been killed. I didn't expect to see Ou Xiaoqi at this moment.
Wang Lun hurriedly walked over and saw that Ou Xiaoqi had found all the corpses of the other six companions and placed them side by side. The bodies were all covered with white cloth. Ou Xiaoqi was sitting in front of the six companions, crying silently. .
"Boss, all the brothers are gone." Ou Xiaoqi looked up and saw Wang Lun coming. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wang Lun. He wanted to say something more, but before he could open his mouth, he couldn't help crying.
Ping'er, Xiao Wu, Shi Jin, Xiao Hu, and Zhu Wu who were traveling with them also came close. Shi Jin and others saluted these martyred brothers as a last farewell, while Ping Er and Xiao Wu were already in tears.
Ou Xiaoqi and other eight companions were originally Zhu Wu's personal followers when they were in Shaohua Mountain. Later, they returned to Wang Lun with Zhu Wu in Taohua Mountain, and then followed Wang Lun from Taohua Mountain to Shaanxi and then to Jiangnan, meeting each other all the way. Accompanying them, they tried their best to plan the itinerary for Wang Lun and others on the way. Wang Lun and others never regarded them as servants, but only treated them as brothers. After a few months, they became like each other. A deep friendship was established.
Unexpectedly, in the battle in Jiangnan, except for Hao Mo, the eighth brother who was sent away by Ping'er to go out on business, the other six brothers died in the battle. Ou Xiaoqi was so deeply in love with the brothers that he burst into tears for a moment.
Zhu Wu sat next to Ou Xiaoqi and put his arms around Ou Xiaoqi's shoulders. Thinking of how these brothers had been by his side day and night in the past, he couldn't help but feel sad and his tears fell silently.
Wang Lun also came to Ou Xiaoqi and sat down to accompany him. After a while, Wang Lun saw that Ou Xiaoqi had gradually stopped crying, and said, "I only know that your name is Xiaoqi. Is this your real name?"
"Go back to the big boss." Ou Xiaoqi nodded and said: "My family name is Ou, and my single name is Peng. I am ranked seventh among the brothers in the family, so everyone calls me Xiaoqi."
"Ou Peng!" Wang Lun's heart moved and he blurted out, "Moyun Golden Wings?"
Ou Xiaoqi was obviously taken aback. He looked at Wang Lun in surprise and said strangely, "My nickname was just randomly chosen by my playmates at home. Outsiders never know about it. How did the big boss know about it?"
"Ou Peng, the seventh son of the Ou family of Moyun in Huangzhou." Zhu Wu answered from the side: "The Ou family in Huangzhou has passed down the car-making skills from generation to generation. They are the best at manufacturing various vehicles, ranging from ordinary people to ordinary people. They made everything from daily transportation vehicles to chariots and chariots used in battle formations, as well as ladders to climb buildings. The siege and formation breaking equipment used by the Song Dynasty army were all made by the Ou family, which can be regarded as having made countless military exploits for the Song Dynasty.
Ou Peng, Ou Xiaoqi, the seventh son of the Ou family, has learned the secret skills passed down from his family since he was a child. His car-making skills are second to none among the young generation of the Ou family. It has a huge hob, and because of its excellent lightness skills, it can fly high and far, so the children in the clan call it Moyun Golden Wings.
It's just that although Ou Peng is highly skilled, he comes from a humble background. Just because he is a commoner, he is not tolerated by the other members of the Ou family. He is often ostracized by other brothers. He has almost no place in the Ou family, so he has long since abandoned his family. The intention is to go.
Because his mother was still alive and needed support, Ou Peng had to endure the humiliation and bear the burden. Until her mother passed away three years ago, Ou Peng had no nostalgia for her anymore, so she ran away from home and lived in the world. Later, by chance, she went to Shaohua Mountain. "
The more Ou Peng heard, the more shocked he became. He looked at Zhu Wu blankly and said, "When I went to Shaohua Mountain, I just made up an excuse because I didn't want to take advantage of the Ou family's reputation and didn't reveal my family background to Brother Zhu." , he didn’t give his real name, he was only named Xiao Qi, how could Brother Zhu know it in such detail?”
Zhu Wu smiled bitterly, but just shook his head and said nothing.
Wang Lun glanced at Zhu Wu and thought that Zhu Wu was so powerful. He actually investigated Ou Peng's life experience so clearly, but Ou Peng himself had no idea about it. He was really as meticulous as dust, and he was worthy of the name of a divine strategist. He will be very useful in the future.
"Xiao Qi." Wang Lun gave Zhu Wu an approving look, then turned to Ou Peng and said, "Don't worry about how we know it for now. From now on, you will still be with me and Brother Zhu. You are still here now." Let us bury our brothers properly first and let them rest in peace."
"Yes." Ou Xiaoqi agreed, wiped the tears on his face, and went to bury the bodies of his brothers with the Zhuge family members who were cleaning up the corpses.
Wang Lun and Zhu Wu also stood up and helped, but suddenly they saw two fast horses galloping in from outside the palace gate. The two riders on the horses were also wearing official military uniforms of the Song Dynasty.
After the two riders entered the mansion, they immediately dismounted and ran to Zhou Tong. They knelt down and clasped their fists and said, "Uncle Master, the Jiangning garrison has returned to defense and is less than fifty miles away from Jiangning City. Should we withdraw from Jiangning Mansion immediately?" ?”
"Get up." Zhou Tong nodded, and the two riders immediately stood up and stood aside.
Zhou Tong beckoned Wang Lun, Lu Junyi and others to gather beside him, and then came to Zhuge Mingfeng, Xiao Jianfang and other Jiangnan martial arts people.
"Brother Zhuge, Brother Xiao." Zhou Tong clasped his fists and said, "Fellow martial arts comrades, in order to deceive Fang La when I came here, I broke into the Jiangning Armory without permission, used the uniform of the Song Army, and pretended to be a Jiangning garrison. Fang La was frightened away.
Although we are doing this to save people, the crime of stealing military depots and pretending to be officers and soldiers is not a light one. Now the real Jiangning defenders have returned to the defense. If they bump into us waiting here, there will be a conflict, so we must immediately Leave, say goodbye, and hope for forgiveness. "
Zhuge Mingfeng, Xiao Jianfang and others were extremely grateful to Zhou Tong for rescuing them. They really didn't want Zhou Tong to leave right now, but they all knew the situation was like this and they didn't dare to stay. They all clasped their fists in salute and bowed to each other. deliver.
As he was saying goodbye, Zhuge Mingfeng took out something from his side, held it in his chest, and said to Zhou Tong: "Today, senior, Bo Ren, Jun Yi and other virtuous nephews have saved me from Jiangnan Wulin. I will not be ashamed of it." Forget, nephew Wang Lun and several of his brothers died trying to save us. The younger generation really has nothing to repay.
Now the junior has specially prepared a family heirloom as a gift in return. I have thought about the junior's feelings, but the junior also knows that the senior will not accept such a common thing, so I want to give this gift to Wang Lun's nephew. I don't know what the senior wants? "
Zhou Tong smiled slightly and nodded, and Zhuge Mingfeng sent a scroll to Wang Lun and said: "Xiannephew, this is the structural drawing of the 'Wood Ox and Flowing Horse' inherited from my family. It was passed down from my ancestor Zhuge Wuhou of the Three Kingdoms. Although this blueprint is not a treasure, I think it may still be of some use, so I will give it to my nephew, who must not refuse."
When Zhuge Mingfeng said the words "Wood Ox and Flowing Horse", he seemed to be understatement and indifferent, but everyone present was in an uproar because the reputation of "Wood Ox and Flowing Horse" was so famous that no one in the world knew about it.
The legend about wooden cows and flowing horses has been around for a long time. It is said that at the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, the Shu Han regime insisted on the northern expedition to the Wei Dynasty. However, the roads in Shu were difficult and rugged, and the supply of logistics and food for the army was extremely difficult. In order to solve the problem of logistics supplies for the army, Therefore, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, invented the wooden ox and the flowing horse, which were specially used to transport grain and supplies.
It has been rumored for generations that this wooden cow and flowing horse are extremely miraculous. Not only can they climb mountains and cross water as easily as they can walk on flat ground, but they can also walk on their own without being dragged by humans or animals. I don’t know what kind of power it is driven by.
The most amazing thing is that the design of this wooden cow and flowing horse is extremely exquisite. It is said that there is a pivot switch inside the wooden cow and flowing horse. Once this switch is closed, the wooden cow and flowing horse will no longer operate, and no one can drive it for even half a minute.
At that time, Sima Yi, the commander-in-chief of Yu Wei, also stole a few wooden cows and horses, and wanted to use them for his own purposes. However, when they were stolen, the main switches of these wooden cows and horses had already been locked, allowing the Yu Wei soldiers to whip and drive them. Being unmoved is like a dead cow or a dead horse.
Later, Sima Yi also assigned expert craftsmen to dismantle the stolen wooden ox and flowing horse in an attempt to imitate it, but failed to succeed after exhausting countless manpower and material resources. This shows how sophisticated and ingenious Zhuge Liang's wooden ox and flowing horse was.
It is a pity that such an exquisite thing was lost after the death of Zhuge Liang in Wuzhangyuan. No one in later generations can know how to make and use wooden cows and horses. There are no wooden cows and horses in the world anymore. People in future generations will only regard these as nothing more. It's just a legend, never taken seriously.
Unexpectedly, a blueprint of the structure of a wooden cow and a flowing horse would appear today, and this blueprint had been hidden in Zhuge's home for thousands of years. At this time, Zhuge Mingfeng wanted to give this unique treasure to Wang Lun. How could everyone not be surprised.
How could Wang Lun have never heard of the legend of a wooden cow and a flowing horse? Of course he knew the magic of the wooden cow and the flowing horse. However, Wang Lun never took it seriously. He just regarded it as a legend, but he didn't expect that there really is something in this world. Wooden cows and stray horses exist.
If a wooden cow and a flowing horse can be made according to this drawing, it will be of great use in the future. However, this thing is too valuable. How can Wang Lun dare to accept it easily? He quickly declined and said: "This thing is a treasure passed down from generation to generation by the Zhuge family. , how valuable it is, how can my nephew accept it, why should I ask my uncle to take it back?"
Zhuge Mingfeng sighed and said: "My nephew, I don't know. Although this thing is good, it is of no use to my Zhuge family. This thing has been passed down in my family for thousands of years, but no one can understand it."
Nowadays, my Zhuge family only focuses on martial arts. In addition, I have some experience in the military formations of marching and fighting. However, no one has studied this mechanical manufacturing and ingenious skills. It will be better if this thing is kept in my family. It is a waste of natural resources. Moreover, Jiangnan is now a troubled place. Once the world changes, if this thing unfortunately falls into the wrong hands, it will definitely become a disaster.
Rather than letting this thing fall into the hands of evil people in the future and help the tyrants to do evil, it is better to give it to someone who may use it and keep it as uncle Qianjian. Nephew Boren has great ambitions and high aspirations, and he will definitely become a great weapon in the future. This thing Only when I put it in your hands can I rest assured. My good nephew must not refuse and must accept it. "
