Chapter 256 The Grand Master Of The Dahong Dynasty Is Dead?
A wave of extremely cold air went south, the temperature plummeted, and the snow fell heavily. Winter finally arrived.
However, for the people of Daxia, this winter is the same as in previous years. Although the weather is much colder, they can get through it with only a cotton coat.
The most important thing is that there is no wind, no snow, and the air is not dry.
In this way, everyone can go out for activities, produce and work, study and study normally, without much change.
As the days pass, life is getting better and better.
The people of Great Xia in the south of the Hengduan Mountains, who had just entered the Great Xia, were anxious and anxious. They thought that they would usher in a difficult day, and they would not be able to survive this winter.
However, when the officials of Daxia came, they were provided with jobs, food, cotton coats and coal for the winter, and even solid water
…
Let them feel the warmth of spring in this not too cold winter.
They found that it seemed good to be a commoner of Great Xia!
But further south, the situation is completely different.
The wind was howling, the snow was flying, and it was so cold that every household closed their doors and refused to come out.
At this time, the Dahong Dynasty, a county on the border.
The door of a somewhat dilapidated house was opened, and a black-faced man dressed in velvet and tightly wrapped came out from the inside. Looking at the heavy snow falling from the sky, he sighed: "Oh! When will this snow come again?" Stop it? Look at the weather.....It won't be another ice disaster once in 50 years, right? What the hell!"
His name is Lao Zhang, and he usually makes a living by cutting firewood in the mountains.
He also works as a hunter, killing some animals on the mountain to sell for money.
But now, he has no income. "170" The road leading to the mountain was covered with snow, nearly two feet thick, and it was very difficult to walk, so he couldn't go up the mountain to cut firewood.
Moreover, it is very dangerous to go up the mountain to cut firewood at this time.
It is easy to fall when the heavy snow is flying, and the road is easy to be slippery in the ice and snow. If you accidentally fall into the pit, you will be in trouble every day. If you encounter a hungry beast that comes out to look for food, you may not be able to return.
Therefore, for his own safety and for the sake of the family, he could only stay in the house temporarily and wait for the snow to stop.
He slammed the door shut and walked back to gather around the charcoal stove for warmth.
There was also a woman with a big arm and a round waist on the bed kang. She was also wearing a thick padded jacket and was sewing a quilt stitch by stitch. Beside them were two children, who were sleeping soundly on the kang.
At this time, the woman bit the end of the thread with her teeth and glared over: "Old man, can't you go out again today?"
"It's possible to go out, but it's not easy to go up the mountain to cut firewood!" Lao Zhang sighed, and half-jokingly said: "It's freezing cold, and going up the mountain to cut firewood is very dangerous, you don't want to lose a man at home, do you?" ?”
"Bah, bah, bah... what nonsense are you talking about? This is unlucky, so don't talk nonsense in the future, you know?" The woman glared over.
"Dede...I won't talk about it in the future!" Lao Zhang stretched out his hands from his pockets, put them on the firewood to bake, and said with a hint of complacency: "Fortunately, our family has enough firewood, otherwise This is a tough day!"
He is a woodcutter, and he must give priority to supplying his own family.
There are not many other things in his house, but firewood, which fills the yard.
Back then, relying on the firewood all over the yard, he begged the fat wife on the bed and gave birth to two children.
"We have a lot of firewood, but we don't have enough food!" The woman sighed: "You see, our family of four has never had enough food and clothing! I don't know what happened this winter, there are so many mice and cockroaches, and the food is damaged. Our food! Even wild beasts know how to hide for the winter, and these little beasts cheer up in winter..."
With a bang, a cockroach died.
Then, there was some movement on the beam, and several big rats sprang out, wagging their tails aggressively.
The woman immediately shouted: "Old Zhang, hurry up! He stole my rice again, don't let them run away!"
Lao Zhang said indifferently: "Don't toss about it! This mouse is as smart as a ghost and runs so fast, let's save some energy! Otherwise, if you don't get tossed to death by the mouse, you will starve to death!"
The woman thought for a while, sighed, and dropped the shoes in her hand.
It's not that they haven't acted before, but they all failed in the end.
There are too many mice, and if one is killed, there will be another nest, and if one is killed, there will be several nests, and it is impossible to clean them up.
They couldn't figure it out, why are there so many mice in winter?
At this time in previous years, they had all disappeared, but this year they were particularly arrogant.
"But Lao Zhang, we are really out of food. You are the man of the family, you have to think of a way! We two adults can be hungry, but we can't let the children be hungry too, right?"
Lao Zhang muffled: "Later, I'll light firewood and go to the next door to exchange for some food!"
"They don't have much food, most of them have been eaten up by mice, and they can't get much food!" The woman sighed: "This winter is really hard, and I don't know when it will pass!"
Lao Zhang kept his head down and did not speak. As the breadwinner, he was under the greatest pressure.
But besides chopping wood and hunting, what profitable work could he have?
At this time, even if he wants to go out and sell some coolies to make money, no one will give him this opportunity.
At this time, the woman sewed clothes again, and said: "Old man, have you heard that? The child from the next door has gone to the Daxia Dynasty! Do you know the Daxia Dynasty? According to others, it turned out to be A powerful country on the opposite side of the Hengduan Mountains, it is said that the territory has reached 8 million square miles, and the population has exceeded 70 million, which is much stronger than our Dahong!"
"Moreover, I have also heard that the people in Daxia are very happy! Each of them has a job to do, everyone has food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, and everyone has a house to live in. It's too much to starve! I really want to go and see what kind of country it is!"
During the conversation, the eyes were full of longing.
Lao Zhang said impatiently: "What does the matter of the Great Xia Dynasty have to do with us? You are a woman, what do you care about these things, just raise your children!"
"It didn't matter before, but now it does!" The woman said: "I heard that the opponent is strong and strong, and has already crossed the Hengduan Mountains and fought all the way here. It is less than 300 miles away from us!"
"I heard that there is no snow over there, and the weather is not cold. People from the government are organizing everyone to work. If you do a good job, you will not have food, and you will still have money to get "Ten for at least 200 Wen!"
The woman leaned over, pushed Lao Zhang with her arm, and said: "Old man, do you want to try it too? Anyway, you have no way to work this winter. Instead of staying at home, you might as well go over there and find some work." Do it! First, it can save us some food, and second, it can earn some money back, why not do it?"
Lao Zhang frowned: "Don't listen to outsiders talking nonsense, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"
The woman was in a hurry: "Hey! One person said there might be fakes, but so many people said, how could there be fakes? Are you going or not, are you going or not? Don't wait for others to get rich, we are still living a miserable life day!"
"You let me think about it, think it over before I say it!"
Although Lao Zhang didn't believe his wife's words, he took her words to heart.
So these two days, he went out to inquire.
He even spent a lot of money to learn about it from a well-informed and well-informed master in the town.
In the end, it turned out to be true.
So, for the sake of his wife and children, he felt that he could not hesitate anymore.
After packing some luggage and taking some dry food, I said goodbye to my wife and children and headed to the building.
There are many such people in the three dynasties.
I can't survive this winter, so I can only find another way out.
This is also the effect of the beggar gang's propaganda, letting everyone know that Daxia is good, and subtly full of good feelings for Daxia. When sending troops to fight over in the future, it will reduce a lot of resistance.
Dahong Dynasty, in the palace.
"Your Majesty, there is a wave of publicity for the Great Xia among the people. I am afraid it is the work of the Great Xia! At present, millions of people in our country have gone to the Great Xia to make a living. If things go on like this, it may threaten the country and shake the foundation of the country! Please come down! order to prohibit the common people from going out to the doctor!"
Emperor Dahong waved his hand impatiently: "They left as soon as they left! There are too many of us, so what's the matter if we walk a little bit? The most important thing for us now is to find Senior Dugu! Now, is there any news about him?"
"This...not yet!"
Emperor Dahong became angry: "Since there is no news, why don't you go find it? It's been more than a month, and there is no news at all. I have raised you for so many years! If there is no news next time, you will come and see me!"
"Yes yes yes...Your Majesty, we are leaving!"
In the Dahong Dynasty, in an unremarkable house, Qian Changtu of the Beggar Gang and the disciples of the Beggar Gang had a secret meeting here...
"Now, how is the external situation?" Elder Qian asked straight to the point.
"Elder Qi, after our brother's propaganda, the people here are yearning for Daxia! Due to the bad weather, millions of people have already set off for Daxia!" A beggar gang disciple said happily.
Elder Qian nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, you've done a great job! I'll report this matter to you guys!"
"Thank you, elder!" The disciples of the Beggar Clan were overjoyed.
"However, Elder, there are some situations in the Dahong Dynasty recently, which are really puzzling!"
"What happened to the Dahong Dynasty?" Elder Qian asked with concern.
He knew that Daxia's next goal was the Dahong Dynasty.
"Reporting to Elder Qian, my subordinates observed that the Dahong court has been frequently mobilizing secret departments of all parties recently, such as official forces such as Jinyiwei and Dongchang. They seem to be looking for someone! As for why this is so, we still can't find out!"
"It does seem extraordinary!"
Elder Qian paced back and forth: "How about this, you continue to send more people to investigate, no matter how much you pay, you must find out the exact news! In addition, we will report the matter now, and wait for His Majesty's decision!"
"Yes, elder!" Everyone responded.
Lin Beifan soon received the news from the beggar gang and smiled slightly.
Others don't know why the Dahong Dynasty is like this, how could he not?
They must be looking for their master.
"It's a pity that we can't find Dugu Fang even if we find him! He has already been photographed into scum, and there is no bones left! As for Da Hong, it seems that he can add some chaos to them!
Lin Beifan picked up the brush and wrote a secret.
The beggar gang disciples of the Dahong Dynasty were shocked and turned pale after receiving it.
"If that's the case, Dahong might be in chaos!"
"Stop talking nonsense, let's take action!"
Therefore, with the efforts of the beggar gang brothers, many rumors appeared in the market.
"Do you know? Dugu Fang, the grand master of our Dahong Dynasty, is dead!"
"Nonsense! How could the Grandmaster die if he is so strong?"
"Listen to me, have you noticed that senior Dugu Fang hasn't shown up for a long time! If a person is dead, there is no way to show up, don't you think?"
"You're clearly making unreasonable words! He may have gone to practice, or wandered around!"
"In addition, I also found that the imperial court is secretly mobilizing people from Jinyiwei, Dongchang and others to find someone! What kind of people do you think disappeared to make the imperial court mobilize so many people? Of course it is the grand master!"
"Without evidence, I don't believe it! The Grandmaster is invincible, who can kill him?"
Everyone was talking and panicking.
You know, Dugu Fang is the 4.4 master of their Dahong Dynasty, who is like a Dinghai magic needle.
Their Dahong dynasty could have no emperor, but they couldn't have no master.
Now, some people actually say that Dugu Fang is dead, how can it not make people feel flustered?
Whether the news is true or not, it has quickly spread throughout the country.
It even spread to neighboring countries, and the relationship between countries became delicate.
In the Dahong Palace.
An old minister hurried in: "Your Majesty, something is wrong!"
"What's the matter?" Emperor Dahong said angrily.
These days, since there has been no whereabouts of Dugu Fang, his temper is very bad, and he loses his temper at every turn.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong!" The old official said bravely, "Right now, rumors are going viral that my court's Dinghai Shenzhen Master Dugu has passed away! Now outside, people are panicking!"
Emperor Dahong was startled and angry: "Who is talking nonsense, how could Senior Dugu die? It is clear that someone is bewitching the public with deceitful words, intending to subvert the imperial court, immediately arrest all those people who are bewitching the public!"
"But Your Majesty, the common people are easy to dismiss, but other forces..." The veteran said with a bitter face: "Once they know the situation of Senior Dugu, I'm afraid
Emperor Dahong also knew the seriousness of the matter.
Once they let the outside world know that their Grandmaster is missing, there will definitely be many people who can't help reaching out.
Their Dahong Dynasty will rarely find peace.
"Just tell the outside world that Dugu is currently practicing in seclusion!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Also, hurry up and track down Senior Dugu's whereabouts!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!".
