Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 124 Runaway ([-])

Du Po was leading the horse alone, with a pair of bloodshot pupils on his shoulder, walking alone on the streets of Xiangyang. The water marks of enlightenment flowed down the face, and it was unknown whether it was rain, tears, or both.

"It's Mr. Dujian, how can someone be here alone, do you want to come in and take shelter from the rain?"

There was a voice of talking coming from the nearby shop. Du Po turned his head and waved his hands dumbly, and continued to walk forward. He didn't even see the person's appearance clearly, and he didn't know if it was a shop he frequented. At this moment, he just felt satisfied. The people in the city looked at him with sarcasm in their eyes, and even the kind words that let him take shelter from the rain felt that they were mocking him.

When did I end up in this situation?

Du Po looked up at the sky, and there were raindrops falling into his eyes, which made him close his eyes instinctively, and when he opened them again, he suddenly found that this was actually the road to Zhu's Mansion.

When did I... come here?

Standing there quietly for a while, Du Po slowly turned around, but turned back the next moment, walked towards the gate, and stopped when he was about to reach the gate, just staring at the gate of Zhu Mansion without knowing it. Thinking about something.

The rain was still falling. Although the raindrops were not big, they were fine enough. After a long time, Du Po's clothes were already wet and stuck to his body. The cold touch made people uncomfortable. The horse behind snorted and shook his head. After throwing out some water stains, he stood helplessly behind Du Po and didn't move.

After standing like this for a while, Du Po just reached out and took off the sword hanging beside the saddle, stuck it in his waist, and when he looked up at Zhu's house, the confusion in his eyes was gone.

creak-

The door suddenly opened, and Tweet, dressed in colorful clothes, came out. With her peach blossom eyes, she saw Du Po's tall figure. Are you looking for my husband?"

"Ah, I'm here to see Mr. Zhizhou, but at the residence?" The corner of Du Po's mouth twitched slightly, and he forcefully forced a smile, but it looked ugly like crying.

Tweety pretended not to see it, and replied, "Master Zhizhou is not at the residence."

"Then it must be in the state government office." Du Po murmured, suddenly forgot what Ding Qi said in the morning, looked Cui'er up and down, stared at her and said: "Has my wife ever been to the house?"

"I've been here, but Mrs. Du has already left." Cui'er looked a little flustered, glanced at Du Po, and said casually: "Mrs. stayed for the night the day before yesterday, ah...she, she didn't do anything. "

Du Po's expression became even uglier, but he did not give up and said: "Then Zhizhou Lord, have you met my wife?"

Tweety's expression became more and more flustered: "Lang Jun...Lang Jun and Da Niangzi are...cousins, naturally...of course they have met."

Du Po looked around, it was probably raining, and this section of the road was either rich or expensive, and there were few pedestrians, so he suddenly reached out, grabbed Tweety's wrist, and said in a low voice: "The two of them have a relationship. Something happened? Say it! Don’t say it, I’ll kill you!"

"Du Jian, Du Jian, you hurt me, hiss..." Cui'er struggled a few times and saw that Du Fu was still holding onto her tightly, the look in those eyes, even though she was right in her heart, still made her feel a little confused. Very timid, he couldn't help but said: "The two of them... this... the gentleman didn't do anything, except that the eldest lady is not in the room at night."

Du Po clenched his steel teeth, let go of his hand, and popped out a few words: "Thank you, goodbye."

After finishing speaking, disregarding the prohibition against riding horses in the city, he got on the horse, shook the reins, kicked the horse's belly, and the horse's hooves ran on the wet mud, and the splashed mud stained Tweety's clothes, leaving yellow spots on it. The little maid didn't show any sign of regret, she just grinned her teeth and touched her wrist. When the horse disappeared, she showed a smile: "I got up early in the morning and waited for so long. Bitch, let's see how you live this time!"

After finishing speaking, he frowned again, Mr. Lang should be fine, after all, he is the porter's superior, he is the capital prison, as long as he doesn't want to rebel, he shouldn't be so unwise, yes, he shouldn't.

……

At the same time, the state government office and the back government office.

"My lord, do you want to go out?"

"Huh? Ah, there are some things in this residence, and we need to go out for a while."

"Do you want a small ox cart?"

"No, it's good to take a short walk, I will go by myself, and you don't have to follow."

"Yes."

The gentle and elegant prefect Zhu Nan was dressed in coarse casual clothes, holding an oil umbrella, covering his waist with one hand hidden behind his back, walking slowly in the drizzle, but today's events are inconvenient for others to know, besides, it's just a back injury. If you can't go, just endure it.

……

"Hey, Zensheng rode a horse in the city!"

"Straight mother thief, there is no ass hole in having a child!"

"Where did Chi Lao come from, rushing to reincarnate?"

"Come and help, this man is hurt!"

The horseshoes were crisp, and passers-by on the street rushed away, cursing Du Po who was riding the horse, but the strong man on the horse turned a deaf ear to it. He was only careful to control the horse so as not to kill people, and completely ignored the rest.

The horse was fast, turning around and turning along the road, and arrived in front of the state government office not long after. The ink Xiezhi stopped the horse, and jumped down with one arm supporting the saddle. Gu Zi walked forward.

"Is Master Zhizhou here?"

Standing tall and straight in front of the door with a long sword on his waist, he asked.

"Du Dujian." The guard at the door saluted first: "Master Zhizhou is not here at this time."

Du Po was stunned for a moment: "Do you know where you went?"

"I don't know, my lord left alone, and didn't say where to go."

Du Po grinned, his straight back bent slightly, looked at the sky with some distress, and asked unwillingly: "But when did you say you will come back?"

The sergeant said: "Just tell me to go out, but not when."

"Understood, you have to wait hard." Du Po nodded, turned around with his face as usual, still gripped the hilt of the sword with his bleeding palm, then let go, pulled up the horse and walked away, he felt that he needed to get drunk One game, or you must go crazy.

The drizzle was misty, and there was a sense of poignancy when looking at it. The pedestrians were in a hurry, and Du Po stepped into the restaurant.

……

The sky light deflected, the drizzle stopped for a while and then began to fall. The raindrops falling down the wind evenly smeared all things in the world, but it gave people a feeling of unfinished, always feel that this kind of rain is not comfortable.

The horse's hooves stepped on the ground, and the wheels ran over the wet dirt road. The round wheels picked up the mud and rolled it down again, leaving an obvious rut ​​due to the weight.

Ahead, there is already the navy village where everything can be traded.

"I finally came back to this water village. I didn't expect such a bountiful harvest this time. I should buy some more things to bring with me." Liu Min patted the box behind him and said with a smile on his face.

"If it is possible to get more ships." Lu Bu said, watching a sergeant come down and open the gate of the village, then Chitu walked in: "The village is in ruins, and the navy needs to be strengthened."

Liu Min nodded: "I will deal with this matter."

Ruan Xiaoqi laughed and said, "On behalf of the two older brothers, I would like to thank my brother for caring."

"It's cheaper for you."

With a low voice and a smile, he dismounted immediately, and his own sergeant led them to the resting place of the soldiers in Yu Shanzhai.

The barracks where the people from Yu Shanzhai rested were also a bit old, but luckily there was no leak. According to Liu Min, each person had to pay a hundred Wen to stay overnight here. Although it was more expensive, there was at least a place to rest. He even booked a separate room for Lu Bu, and now this room is in use.

It's just that Lu Bu and others entered the room, they were taken aback for a moment, Wei Zhaode's strong figure was walking anxiously in the room with his hands behind his back, when he felt someone coming in, the man on the sea turned his head to look, stopped in his tracks immediately, and hurriedly Came over and knelt down: "Brother Lu, please help!"

Lu Bu and the others were all taken aback, they didn't expect that the person who had parted with him last night would reappear in front of him in such a posture, and quickly helped him up: "Brother Wei, don't worry, if you have anything to do, you might as well get up and talk about it. "

Wei Zhaode stood up with strength, lowered his head and sighed: "My little brother has encountered a huge difficulty, I hope Brother Lu can lend a helping hand."

Immediately, he told the whole story about the crisis of the family, and finally said: "At this time, my little brother has nothing to do, only Zhang Jingzu, Han Kai and I are absolutely impossible to rescue relatives, so we can only ask Brother Lu for help."

Lu Bu frowned, Deng Fei was beside him with an excited expression, and before he could speak, Liu Min grabbed him and sneered at the side, "Wei Da is in charge, you are proficient in using empty gloves and white wolves, you and my family My brother just met by chance, and we just walked together all the way, how can you just talk about it and ask my brother to work for you?"

"I have no such intention." Wei Zhaode's complexion changed, he quickly shook his head and said, "I have been working in the sea for several years, and I have some savings, I would like to give it all to Brother Lu."

He looked outside the door and saw that no one was approaching, he closed the door, pouted and said, "I'll earn around [-] to [-] yuan when I went out last night."

Lu Bu also nodded and said, "Money is not an important thing in our village."

Seeing the strange expressions on everyone's faces, Wei Zhaode gritted his teeth and knelt down again: "If brother Lu can help our Wei family, Wei Zhaode swears by the ancestors of the Wei family that he is willing to bring five under his command. A sea-going ship worked for Brother Lu for five years."

Lu Bu was moved when he heard the words, Fang wanted to agree and shut up again, glanced at Liu Min, and motioned for him to speak.

This Liu Zhibo raised his brows, stepped forward and said, "Wei Da is in charge, this account is not settled like this by you, five years seems a long time, but you must know that my brother's village has just been established, and there is not much war, so don't hide it." For several years, I spent my days leisurely, and when it was heavy, I patrolled the water ponds, and occasionally transported people to the shore. I didn’t need to bother with the government at all. But my brother has to risk his life to help you and others to rescue people , does this seem to be a sincere statement?"

Wei Zhaode gritted his teeth secretly when he heard the words, but said in a bachelor way: "Then what are you going to do? Tell me."

Liu Min shook his head and said, "It's not about what we want, but whether you are sincere."

"I am sincere." Wei Zhaode looked frankly: "If brother Lu is willing to help me in this kind of rebellion, I would dare to risk my life to repay this kindness, but we are all sons of the sea, and we will let us live forever. They are unwilling to work in this river."

Liu Min looked at Lv Bu, and Lv Bu nodded. Not knowing how Liu Zhibo understood it, his face brightened and he said, "How about a ten-year period?"

Lu Bu looked at Wei Zhaode's discolored face and said: "Brother Wei, don't worry too much, and I didn't think about restricting Brother Wei from staying or staying. How about this, the five-year period is still the same as what Brother Wei said. However, if Brother Wei thinks that X has a future, he will stay and help X, if not, he can leave, okay?"

Only then did Wei Zhaode heave a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "According to what brother Lu said, I will definitely go all out when I am in the cottage, but do you want to prove it by writing?"

Lu Bu smiled in satisfaction, and stepped forward to help Wei Zhaode twice: "They are all men with handles, brother Xunxin is a man who promises everything."

Wei Zhaode's face was a little touched, and he said hastily: "Brother Lu, do you have an idea how to rescue my relatives?"

Lu Bu glanced at Liu Min and said, "Brother, can you do something?"

Liu Min thought for a while and shook his head, "It's difficult for me to wait for 20 people."

Wei Zhaode said urgently: "Our Wei family can send out some young and strong people to help."

"Not enough!" Liu Min shook his head and said, "The people in your family are all people who have not seen blood, and it is difficult to do anything in that city with only blood and bravery."

"Then Zensheng is good?" Wei Zhaode was a little impatient, and his tone gradually became irritable: "This will not work, and that will not work. Are you playing tricks on me?"

But Liu Min smiled and said: "Don't be impatient, I can't wait, there is a way to do it."

"My brother, just tell me what you can do." Wei Zhaode stumbled.

Liu Min opened the folding fan and fanned it slightly: "Xiangyang City is big, and we need more people, so it's just right to bring people from my village."

Wei Zhaode frowned: "You also said Xiangyang City University, your village only has three to five hundred people, how can that be enough?"

"It's not that we want to take down this city. What we need to pay attention to are actually a few places, a prison, and a city gate. The former I want to rescue people, but the latter is to ensure that they will not be closed." Liu Min will The fan closed and tapped on the palm of the hand: "It's not enough for me alone, but it's just enough for the people from the cottage."

"It turns out that this is the land." Wei Zhaode breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, but suddenly frowned: "No, your cottage is in Dengzhou, how do you bring people here?"

"Then we have to look at the water village." Liu Min rushed down the fan and nodded: "I'm waiting for a lot of money now, so I can buy a few boats and use them. Brother Wei will use the money to go to the prison to manage it. Even if your relatives are imprisoned by villains, such a two-pronged approach should last until the moment when the people from the cottage come."

"Okay, let's do this." Lu Bu nodded and said: "The purchase of the ship will be carried out quickly, and Brother Zhaode will return quickly. Be sure to wait until I wait for the reinforcements to arrive."

Wei Zhaode nodded fiercely: "I know, even if I go bankrupt, I will last until the brothers come."

At that moment, the few people discussed the details again, Wei Zhaode hurried out of the room, took the horse and ran back, Deng Fei and Ruan Xiaoqi were in charge of gathering people to prepare for the turnaround, and Yan Jiao led people to unload the belongings on the cart .

Seeing everyone going out, Liu Min said in a low voice, "Brother, are you really only allowed five years?"

Lu Bu glanced at him: "Qilang and the others are also heroes in the water, but it's a pity that they have never been to sea, and they should learn a lot from Wei Zhaode."

Standing up, he leaned into Liu Min's ear and said, "If the other party refuses to return in the end, and dares to hide his hand, then you don't have to be polite."

Liu Min grinned at the corner of his mouth: "Brother, save me."

Now I went out to the water village to discuss the details of buying the boat with the person in charge, and finally got two [-]-material ships, one [-]-material ship, and [-] navy leather armors. The person also wanted to sell some straw sandals and bamboo mats to He, however, was rejected by Liu Min, looking very regretful from the look on his face.

Due to the shortage of crew members, Lu Bu and others rented some naval sergeants to use them, but the madness of recruiting people surprised everyone.It was only later that I found out that the Shangguan would not take the fee for renting sergeants, and all of it belonged to the sergeants themselves, so it was not surprising that everyone was enthusiastic about it.

As the sky faded away, several ships stretched out their oars, and then rowed away.
