Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 120 Runaway ([-])

As the sky darkened, fiery red clouds covered the sky from near to far. From time to time, a few water birds flew over the sky, then landed on the water and floated.

A small fleet sailed down from the upper reaches amidst the trees on both sides of the bank. Everyone on the boat looked at the scenery on both sides with great interest, but the similar scenery soon made people lose interest, and some people became dizzy. Listening to the sound of paddling with his eyes closed, his head sank as if he was about to fall asleep.

"Brother, go further down to the water army camp at the mouth of the Tangbai River." Liu Min was sitting behind Lu Bu, holding a gold-painted folding fan in his hand.

"Official army water village?" Deng Fei was sitting next to Lu Bu, he was taken aback when he heard this, he turned his head and said, "Aren't we delivering food to people when we go like this?"

Seeing that Lu Bu turned his head and looked over, although he didn't speak, he was staring at Liu Min with a pair of tiger eyes, who would have thought that instead of making Liu Min feel uncomfortable with his usual stressful eyes, he looked at him with the eyes of finding the hero. He glanced at Lu Bu and said, "You two brothers, don't worry. Going to this water village is not a trap for yourself, but a good place to buy and sell news."

Lu Bu frowned when he heard that: "But there are people you know in that water village?"

"It's not." Liu Min shook his head and said with a smile: "My little brother has never had anything to do with the government, but the water village is a place for business in this area, and people in the green forest who come and go buy government news from it. or……"

Holding the fan, he hacked it: "Armament, it is said that as long as you have money, you can sell it."

Lu Bu and Deng Fei looked at each other, and looked at Liu Min: "The cottage is currently in short supply of equipment, can brothers get a batch of soldiers through this water village?"

Liu Min was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, "I can only do my best in this matter, and the Bingjia Zhemo I bought was also replaced. It's just... How much do you want brother to buy? I still have some money in the village. This is..."

"Don't be pressured, just do your best." Lu Bu interrupted him lightly, and looked at the trees beside the river: "It's true that we didn't bring much money when we went south this time, but I don't intend to take your money, brother. work."

He tilted his head and glanced at Deng Fei: "Someone will prepare money for me."

Deng Fei also grinned grimly: "If that person is lucky enough to go first, here in Xiangyang, we also have a place to borrow food."

Liu Min slammed the folding fan on his palm: "Then go talk to the head of the water village first, and see how much he can take out."

"No matter how much." Lu Bu opened his hand, looked at the lines on his palm, and slowly clenched it tightly, his joints creaking: "I want everything."

Liu Min smiled when she heard this, and seemed even more satisfied: "Don't worry, brother, I will leave this matter to my younger brother."

The boat was moving forward, its sharp bow broke through the water, and it was moving in the predetermined direction amidst the sound of rushing water, and someone was talking on the boat behind.

"Brother, this river course is really boring. It's boring to watch without wind and waves." Zhang Jingzu stretched his arms out of the boat and put his hands down into the water, muttering.

Han Kai smacked the back of his head with his hand, and made a slapping sound: "You have a lot of things to do, so thank God that you don't have to ride a horse, what a lot of nonsense."

"Hiss~ You really fight!"

Zhang Jingzu scratched his head and raised his hand to hit Han Kai, but the bald man took advantage of it and couldn't let him return it, so he immediately grabbed his hand, and the two of them tore up on the boat.

"Don't make trouble." Wei Zhaode looked at the two helplessly, and glanced at the few Yu Shanzhai who were rowing in a panic because of the shaking: "This boat is going to capsize, where can I find clean clothes to change. "

"Hmph! I'll spare your life for now." Zhang Jingzu gave Han Kai a vicious look: "I'll deal with you when I get off the boat."

"Your uncle Han is still afraid of you?" Han Kai stared at him with wide eyes, and he was naturally dissatisfied.

Wei Zhaode shook his head and said with a smile: "After getting off the boat, we still have to travel for a while, and we can reach my house when we are in the dark."

"Brother's return this time should be able to scare your father."

"I just don't know what my brother looks like, I think he looks just like my brother."

Wei Zhaode smiled lightly when he heard the two of them talking: "That should be the case. I have been away from home for a long time, and I didn't say hello in advance when I came back this time. Maybe I can scare them."

He paused, looked at the faintly visible black spots in the distance, thought for a while and said, "As for my brother Zhaoli, before he left home he was just a fool who could only run with me, but he doesn't know what he looks like now."

Zhang Jingzu and Han Kai looked at each other with a smile and said, "Take it as a man like an older brother."

Wei Zhaode didn't speak, just stared into the distance, gradually, the black spot gradually became bigger, it was the Song Army water village at the confluence of Tangbai River.

Not long after, the ship shook lightly, the people on the boat knew that the ship was docking, they all showed joy, they stood up and got off the boat one after another, Liu Min walked over to a person in general's attire.

I don't know what the two of them said, but I saw Liu Min pulling the man to the side and stuffing a cloth bag for the man, and then I saw the general smiling as if meeting a friend, and enthusiastically waved for the sergeant to come forward He helped everyone to fix the boat, and then led the horse to get off the boat.

Lu Bu secretly looked at the barracks here, and saw that there were eight watchtowers facing the river, all of which were made of wood, and several ladders leading from the ground to the upper floors were broken.The top of the watchtower is covered by a roof, and the half-person-high wooden baffles form a circle, with ventilation on all sides, which is a bit crude.

Now there are only two sergeants standing in the middle of the eight places. If you look carefully, they are leaning against the wooden frame of the watchtower with their guns in their hands and their heads drooping.

The wooden houses in the barracks are a bit old, and there are casually discarded sundries everywhere in the barracks. Obviously, the general order of the garrison here does not pay much attention to the cleanliness of the barracks.

Looking at the sergeants who came forward to help, I saw that this group of men and women were all disheveled, all wearing dirty military uniforms, and some even had three or five patches on their clothes.

Lu Bu shook his head inwardly, it's no wonder that the navy here sells everything, it seems like this is not only the lieutenant generals who drink the blood of soldiers, but also the military expenditures are not much.

"Brother Lu." Wei Zhaode stepped over, cupped his fists and saluted, "Xiangyang has arrived, brother has to hurry home as soon as possible, this farewell, the mountains are high and the road is far away, there will be a later date."

"Treasure all the way."

Lu Bu also clasped his fists and said politely, then Wei Zhaode smiled at Ruan Xiaoqi: "Brother Xiaoqi, if you are destined to come to sea to find me, please eat sea fish."

Ruan Xiaoqi also replied with a smile: "There are also a lot of fish in our water, wait for Brother Wei to come, I will call you personally to serve you wine."

Wei Zhaode laughed, bowed his hands to everyone, then paid for some torches, took Han Kai and Zhang Jingzu, led the horse, and left the water village towards the distance.

"Brother, at this time Xiangyang is not searching for the important criminals. I only heard that the soldiers and horses here have led troops to suppress the bandits." Liu Min waited for the three of them to walk closer, and said in front of Lu Bu in a low voice: " The younger brother just talked to the general. He said that he would discuss it with the general here first, but there are always fifty swords and guns, and there are few leather armors, so only ten collars can be allocated. There is also a ship with a hundred materials. It takes a lot of money.”

"Money is not a problem." Lu Bu glanced at the excited general over there, and replied in a low voice: "Discuss the date with him, and say that I will raise money later, and I will come to hand over when the time comes."

"Little brother understands, let's go."

Liu Min nodded, and then returned to the general. The two of them got together again and whispered together, sometimes talking excitedly, and finally both smiled, and both stretched out their right hands and clapped their hands.

"Is there a result?" Lu Bu looked at Liu Min who was approaching with a smile on his face, and twitched the corners of his mouth to smile.

"Five days." Liu Min nodded and said, "He said that he would not worry about selling things, so he left five days for us to raise money."

Deng Fei was listening, looked around at the sergeant and the fat general, and sighed: "Even if they have money, these people won't get any benefits, and I don't know how to help them."

Lu Bu shook his head: "Don't be sympathetic to others, and just do your own thing first."

Leading Chitu forward a few steps, he paused for a while: "Rereading the classics some time ago, there is a saying that goes 'Advance if you can, otherwise retreat, do what you can'."

Chitu walked up to Lu Bu and stopped, his burly figure got on his horse, and took the weapon from the minion: "It's very reasonable."

Then lightly kicked the horse's belly, Chitu walked slowly towards the outside of the barracks.

"What do you mean by brother?" Deng Fei poked his head and glanced at Liu Min next to him.

Liu Min's elegant face was a little excited. Hearing this, he glanced at Deng Fei and saw that no one was paying attention to his side. He suppressed his mood and said in a low voice: "Brother means that one day I can take care of them, but it's not today." hour."

Afterwards he asked a few of the generals to follow the general to the barracks to rest, while he borrowed a horse from the barracks at his own expense, and followed Lu Bu out of the water barracks with Deng Fei, Yan Jiao and others.

"Brother Deng Fei, lead the way."

A deep voice sounded, and Lu Bu raised his head to look at the darkening night: "Don't waste time, we will understand the matter tonight."

The torches were lit behind them, and a group of strong men smiled and looked hideous and distorted in the flickering firelight. Then Deng Feiyang whipped the horse and jumped out like flying. Lu Bu and others hurriedly followed.

……

Pangjia Village, the main house of the Wei family on the other side of the river.

"What are you doing! Why are you arresting my big daddy!"

Wei Zhaoli was full of anger, watching the official who broke into the house and came to kidnap him and yelled loudly.

"What are you doing?!" The leader sneered all over his face, "Your Wei family has done a good job, but now it has come to light."

"Fart! What have we done?" Wei Zhaoli's eyes were bloodshot, watching the officer tie his hands with his elder father, he fell to his feet and cursed: "My elder father is seventy years old this year, if you treat him like this, is the family an old man? Are you dead? Or are you just hatched from a cesspit, without any sympathy."

The head raised his eyebrows when he heard this, looked around and said: "This fellow defends criminals so much, he should be regarded as an accomplice. Come! Arrest this fellow for me, and take him back for careful interrogation."

"Yes!"

At that moment, a sergeant stepped forward and twisted Wei Zhaoli's arms, took out a rope, hemmed his shoulders, his back, and tied them firmly.

"You chaotic fools! Let me go!"

Wei Zhaoli twisted his body desperately, the sergeants on both sides were a little overwhelmed, and they were about to lose him, so they all stepped forward and picked up the scabbard and punched him hard in the stomach.

"Uh--"

Wei Zhaoli couldn't bear the pain, so he was beaten to death immediately, the sergeants on both sides just clamped him, let his head hang down and not move.

"Li'er!" The aged and dangerous old man called out, looked at Du and said, "My lord, I really caught the wrong person, we are all good citizens!"

"Good people—" the head looked at the old man meaningfully: "Good people won't arrest documents in Shanghai and take them away!"

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the house, joined the other two groups of arresting officers under the glaring and whispering of the villagers, and walked away with the four criminals under pressure.

……

get it-

More than twenty riders galloped forward, the wet soil was carried up into the air by the horseshoes and scattered down, and the green grass on the roadside was bent down by the galloping horses, and they straightened up again after they went away.

"Captain, prison!"

Feng Tai relied on sitting on a good horse, which was still considered a steed, so he reluctantly followed behind Du Po: "The capital prison should slow down a little, the brothers behind can't keep up."

Du Po was startled suddenly, looked back, and quickly slowed down his horse, Feng Tai breathed a sigh of relief, smiled wryly and said: "Captain, it seems that this is really not your usual person, why are you so sad?"

"I'm a little restless." Du Po forced a smile, and controlled the horse to keep pace with Feng Tai: "Since I received the order from Lord Zhizhou, I dare not ignore it for a while, but this matter is really difficult, so I thought about it for a while Gone to God."

Feng Tai also sighed and said, "If it wasn't for the great importance that Master Zhizhou put on you, I almost thought he wanted you to be imprisoned."

"Don't talk nonsense." Du Po wiped his face: "If this word gets out, won't Master Zhizhou misunderstand me as an ungrateful person?"

"Then we should repay Lord Zhizhou well." Feng Tai lifted the black gold helmet on his head: "If he didn't value you, Lord Dujian, Fatty and I would not have a bright future in the army."

Du Po smiled: "But he is an admirable person. In this dynasty, literati used to look down on me and other fighters. It is lucky to meet someone like Mr. Zhu."

He raised his head and looked at the red-hot clouds: "Stop talking about this, hurry up and go to the Tangbaihe water village. He has the most problems waiting for you, and he has done the most ridiculous things. You should use him as a knife."

"Your Excellency, take a look." Feng Tai patted the place where the two maces were placed: "I've heard about his actions, these two maces will be profitable sooner or later."

Du Po nodded and then stopped talking, silently thinking about what to do next.

The sky is getting darker, and a group of horses are like dragons, traveling thousands of miles without washing the dust.

……

Xiangyang, the back office of the state capital.

"Lang Jun, do you want to go back?"

Tweety's watery peach eyes stared at the gentle and gentle Zhu Nan, watching this flamboyant Zhizhou swallow her saliva, but it's a pity that the spring breeze is twice, this waist and kidneys are really sorry for that restless heart.

"You go home now, there are still many things to do in the state capital today." Thinking over and over again, the magistrate who felt that it was ridiculous for two consecutive days finally decided to stay here today.

Peach Blossom eyes slightly bent, revealing a look of disappointment: "Tweety can also stay and take care of Lang Jun."

Zhu Nan swallowed, shook his head and said, "I have some military affairs to discuss at night, but I really don't know when it will end. You go home, and I will look for you tomorrow."

Tweety had no choice but to get up and get dressed, but it was a little inconvenient for her to move. Zhu Nan watched the pretty maid get dressed, and the amorousness she exuded made his heart itch. situation.

"Lang Jun wants to take care of his body, Tweety left first."

The delicate voice sounded, and the girl looked pitifully at the hard-hearted man.

"Well, let's go."

Zhu Nan closed his eyes and nodded sanctimoniously, waved away his maidservant, and groaned while covering his waist when she was out of the house, muttering to himself: "It's time to find a doctor..."

　Some Calvin, tsk!
