Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 150
Gradually slanting to the west, the sky is full of red clouds.

There was a celebration wine on the mountain, the busy Zhou Darong did not touch the ground with the female family members of the cottage, but even though he was physically tired, his heart was unspeakably excited, the stronger the cottage, the more secure he was waiting, so he was looking forward to the prosperity of the cottage.

The temperature in winter is slightly lower, and some minions bring pots of steaming dishes, fearing that the heat will be lost with the rising white air for too long, so many braziers are lit in the house, and the meals are specially filled with Kongming bowls. Pour boiling water and keep warm.

Lu Bu stood up with the hot wine and raised his glass to everyone: "Today is to welcome Yao Gang and Li Bao to join the group, and to congratulate us for defeating two Song armies and obtaining property, Countless people."

Looking around at the crowd, a deep voice sounded: "Yin Sheng!"

"Thank you brother, do it!"

Noisy shouts sounded, and all the big men drank up the wine one after another. The figure with the golden crown on the other side picked up the second glass of wine: "Today, we should also give a toast to Brother Song Wan, and to recommend Brother Li Bao for meritorious service. Go forward bravely during the day, lead the soldiers at night, and enter the army camp first..."

The tall man over there waved his hands again and again: "No, I didn't..."

Liu Min pressed his fan on him, causing Yunli King Kong to look at him suspiciously, Liu Min said softly: "Don't talk."

The deep voice ignored the two of them: "Remember the first credit to him, and I hope all the brothers will work hard and win victory—"

Feng Tai drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, wiped his mouth: "What's so great, he's nothing without my robbery."

Wei He patted him on the shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "I'm happy today, don't say anything disappointing, my brother is not a person who does meritorious deeds, and besides, Brother Song Wan has made meritorious deeds, how can he not be rewarded? No A guy like you, even if he has meritorious service, he still seeks scolding, how can he be so popular with an honest guy."

"Straight mother thief, you..."

Feng Tai glared at him fiercely, before Lu Bu raised his third glass of wine: "This glass is for brothers Feng Tai and Wei He..."

The big fat man here bumped his partner with his shoulder, his eyebrows were all over his face, Feng Tai had no choice but to shut up when he saw everyone staring at him.

The voice over there continued: "The two of them hijacked the grain cart, and what they got helped us capture the army stronghold. The illustrious achievements are obvious to all, do it!"

"Dry!"

The voice from below made the two men raise their glasses in a hurry, and then showed the bottom of the bowl to everyone, Feng Tai relaxed his face at this time.

"The achievements of the rest of the brothers will be reported to everyone and rewarded after they are recorded tomorrow. Today, we must eat and drink well. Let's start the banquet—"

"Oh!"

The sound of excitement resounded through the room, and then the sound of cups and bowls colliding kept ringing, and all the burly men were drunk from eating, their faces were rosy, and their faces were full of joy.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, in the quiet night, only Liangshan is still noisy, and in the light of the fire, there are faces flushed with excitement.

……

At dawn the next day, the sun shines on the mountains and forests above the water, crushing the darkness and covering them with bright colors.

Liangshan, which had been silent all night, was full of vitality as usual. As the figures moved around, Liangshanzhai soldiers with knives and guns kept yelling at them, and groups of prisoners walked crookedly to the open ground. standing.

A burly figure stepped forward.

"Wait a minute, what are you going to do, the leader said let us Ma Jun choose first!"

Xiao Haili grabbed Du Po, who was pretending to be innocent, but this fierce man blushed, looked around with vacillating eyes, and said stiffly: "Can I just walk two steps? I want to choose you, hurry up." , don’t waste your time.”

Xiao Haili was so choked that he couldn't speak, he gave Du Po a hard look: "Wait, I'll go after I've selected the Xun infantry."

At that moment, the bald man didn't dare to delay, stepped forward to pinch one, kicked the other, muttering in his mouth:

"This is too thin, no..."

"I'm weak in my legs, that's bad!"

"I just kicked you, why did you fall down?"

"Trash, pinch you and howl! Can someone like you eat military rations?"

Du Po and Xi Sheng watched Xiao Haili walk through the first row and then the second row, and looked at the sergeant standing out of the line after he slapped him on the back of the head with distress, and his heart was bleeding.

"Brother Xiao, that's enough. Your horse army only has a few horses. If you add up to five hundred, is it worth it? You won't be able to win a horse's hair if you choose so many people."

"Brother Du Po is right. Your horse army has enough, and the rest should belong to our infantry."

The two chattered to persuade Xiao Haili, the Khitan man turned his head to look at the more than 200 people standing aside, and then looked at the remaining one-third of the team that hadn't been selected, he sighed slightly in his heart, it was finally the horse too At least, I had no choice but to stare at it rather reluctantly: "What a rush, can't I choose more excellent ones?"

"All the good seedlings are selected, and my infantry is still practicing!"

Du Po swears once in a while, and then Xi Sheng also chimed in: "There are enough people in the Ma Jun. If you are not used to riding horses, you can come to my infantry for a change. It has already passed an hour. Now, don't delay the training of your horse army."

Xiao Haili looked up, touched his bald head: "All right, I'll come here if this person fails."

"All right, all done."

Du Po and Xi Sheng wanted him to leave quickly, so they agreed without a word. They were relieved to see this man leading them away, and then they turned their eyes to look at the prisoners and smiled.

Lu Bu sat in the study with Qiao Lie, Liu Min, and Deng Fei, each holding a heater, but they didn't know about the selection of soldiers outside, so they flipped through the booklets they were writing. Lu Bu raised his head and looked at Deng Fei who was beside him: The property hasn’t been registered yet?”

Deng Fei smiled wryly and scratched his head with his hands: "Brother, forgive me, I have earned a lot in the past two days, and the brothers have tried their best."

"Quickly check it out. If you don't have enough people, you need it." Lu Bu nodded, but just urged: "In my opinion, I think I have a lot of money. Is there a place to buy horses?"

"There are many horse farms in Hebei and Shandong, but there are no connections. At this price..." Qiao Lie grinned, a little sad.

"Don't worry about the price first, buy it later, it's best to have three horses for each person, and it's okay for one person to have two horses."

Under the low voice, the people on the opposite side looked at each other and nodded.

"Also think of a way to build some armor for the imperial army." The tall figure stood up and walked to the side window. The cold air stimulated his skin to tighten for a moment: "First prepare a battalion."

Liu Min thought about it afterwards: "The counterfeit blacksmith's craftsmanship is poor, and the result may be unsatisfactory."

"With a heavy reward, there must be a brave man." Lu Bu turned his head: "Increase the reward, and whoever makes it better will give it to him."

Deng Fei's face twitched when he heard this. This is buying horses, and making armors and rewards. How much money will it cost?The accounts in this account book will be issued before they are completed, so don't get confused by then.

Hearing that the other two had agreed, he could only nod in agreement with a sad face.

"Go down and get ready. It's better to expand as soon as possible." The wide palm slightly opened the window sash, and the three people behind immediately walked away. Lu Bu looked out at the scenery in the mountains and said in a faint voice: "It's not the time yet. , still have to endure..."

The cold wind blew, and the books on the table were rattled by the wind. After turning the pages at a high speed, they stopped on the pages of "Emperor Ji No. [-] Xuandi".

……

When Yang Zhi opened his eyes again, the sun had already passed through the treetops. He pinched his brow that was tingling slightly, turned over and sat up, but saw Yang Lin was already sitting there, chewing dry food slowly with cold water.

"The envoy is awake, the villain still has a piece of dry food here, let's eat together."

"I always want you to take care of Yu Sa's house, wait...thank you!"

Yang Zhi wanted to say something, but in the end he just swallowed it back, thanked him, and came over to sit down. Yang Lin over there had already finished eating, and walked to the side table to point to a bundle: "The villain fell asleep while he was in trouble. Searching here, I found some goods, it should be the bad money he accumulated, about 300 taels, you and I might as well share it, it’s better than leaving it here to be picked up by the bad guys.”

As he spoke, he opened the package, and the bits and pieces of silver, copper coins, golden hairpins, jade pendants and other items inside rolled all over the table as the package was opened.

"Brother, you can just keep it by yourself. You saved the life of the Sa family. How can I share it with you?"

"The rules of the rivers and lakes, those who see have a share, so this is too outlandish."

"No, no, the Sa family is not from the rivers and lakes, so I feel uneasy if I hold it like this."

"Does the envoy look down on villains?"

"What's the matter, Sajia doesn't mean that."

The two of them were talking, Yang Lin didn't have any idle hands, he picked left and right and gave out two shares, Yang Zhi just didn't allow it, he couldn't stand Yang Lin's enthusiasm, so he had to accept it, but he didn't take all of it, from his own Another part of the share was allocated to Yang Lin, and there could be no more.

Now Yang Lin took more than two hundred taels, and Yang Zhi took one hundred taels to keep.

The two ate and drank enough, spread oil and hay all over the store, lit torches, burned the evil hotel, bid farewell and set foot on the journey again.Of the two of them, Yang Lin walked purposefully and disappeared after a while.

This Yang Zhi waited for the savior to leave without a trace, and looked down again, but he didn't know where to go. He hesitated for a while, fearing that he would encounter a black shop again, so he changed his half-body armor to comfort him first, and took Fan Yangli again. He took it, and a dozen horses actually headed in the opposite direction of Yang Lin. It was also his luck that he saw a road leading to nowhere after a while.

Yang Zhi didn't have a goal at this time, he just wanted to find the way, at least he could go to the city today to have a rest.

I don't know if it took all the luck of the blue-faced beast to find the way. After traveling only ten miles, I saw a fierce man with a red beard and black face who had been born all his life, holding a golden mace upside down, and galloping his horse towards this direction. , Seeing Yang Zhi, he yelled: "What a dog official, he ran to the front to block my way. I really think that I, Kuang Jinlong, are afraid of your failure."

But it was this Kuang Jinlong who beat people to death in his hometown, and happened to be seen by a general who was passing by all the way chasing and killing people all the way. At this time, Yang Zhi was wearing a fan Yangli and armor, and immediately held a spear horizontally, dressed like the general. It was somewhat similar, so when they met the murderer, they thought that Yang Zhinai had purposely made a detour to intercept him, but he didn't know that the general found it troublesome to see him running away, so he had already turned around.

Yang Zhi was startled when he heard the words, before he could say anything, he saw the man who called himself Kuang Jinlong approaching with strange words and dancing with a mace.How could Yang Zhi get used to him, he immediately took off his own iron-point steel gun and went up to him, when he got close, the man on the opposite side fired a gold-topped mace and hit him in the middle.

Yang Zhi took up the fight with a gun, and he also suffered from the overdose of sweat medicine yesterday. He was still a little uncomfortable, and he was a little weak when he danced with a gun. The arms were sore and numb, and the steel teeth of the blue-faced beast were almost crushed. The two fought for fifteen or six times. Yang Zhi felt a little pain in his head. The left hand took the opportunity to pull the rein of the horse, turned around and ran.

Kuang Jinlong was furious, picked up the horse and chased Yang Zhi, shouting: "Don't run, dog officer, watch me smash your head with a stick."

Yang Zhi was furious in his heart, but he secretly lowered the speed of the horse, grasped the gun with his right hand, but the gun head was backwards, and when the hooves of the horse behind him approached, he yelled, turned around suddenly, locked his throat with his right hand, and held the gun with his left hand. With a sudden push, the iron-pointed steel gun stabbed out like lightning. Before Kuang Jinlong had time to dodge, he was shot in the throat. With a sharp jerk of his hand, he turned over and fell off the horse. After flying for a moment, it slammed on Yang Zhi's shoulder.

"Oh--"

Yang Zhi yelled, his shoulder felt a sharp pain, he stopped the horse with one hand, turned around, and saw that the red-bearded man was staring at the sky with wide eyes, and a huge hole in his throat was bleeding out, obviously not live.

"Bah! Where did the thief come from, to find trouble for the Sa family."

Yang Zhi felt pain in his shoulders, and he was also unhappy. He pulled Kuang Jinlong's horse and dragged the man aside to bury him, but his shoulders were weak. Going far away.

When I saw the city and looked at the word Gongxian, I asked him and found out that I had run to Yanzhou. I led my horse into the city and went to the doctor to treat my shoulder injury. Fortunately, I didn't hurt my bone, and I went to find my tooth again. After selling Kuang Jinlong's horse for a sum of money, Yang Zhi went to an inn to rest.

For three or five days in a row, while Yang Zhijiang recovered his body, his shoulder ached unbearably. He sat there thinking about it, and finally felt that he had no one to go to. He glanced at the package containing the money, and stroked it Fan, sighed in his heart: Sure enough, entrusting money to the relationship is the only way out.

At the moment, he had to cheer up again. After thinking for a long time, Yang Zhi finally checked out of the city, whipped his horse, and headed towards the north. Before that, let the matter of defeat cool down over time. go back……

Yang Zhi decided to go around Liangshan, the road to the north was flat, and he could ride his horse to relieve his boredom.

……

Yanzhou, at the foot of Wolf Howling Mountain.

"I didn't expect Brother Yang to be Liang Shan's friend." Tian Ba ​​held Yang Lin with one hand, with an apologetic expression on his face: "I met Lu Zhaizhu and your friend in the Guangji Army before, and they got along well. I was rude just now. Please forgive me."

Yang Lin was covered in dust, but he was blocked and robbed by this big man just now. Fortunately, he was spared by saying that he was a hero of Liangshan. Why don't you go to Liangshan to gather for righteousness, brother?"

Tian Ba ​​smiled wryly, and said vaguely: "I really want to go, but my teacher is arrogant and says he wants to be invited, so..."

Yang Lin was also clever, rolled his eyes and said: "I wait for my younger brother to go up the mountain to tell friends about it. I think Liangshan is developing, and I hope that heroes will go up the mountain to gather together like noble masters and apprentices."

Hearing this, Tian Ba ​​cupped his hands happily and said: "If you are like this, you will really help me a lot."

Yang Lin hurriedly returned the gift, Tian Ba ​​didn't keep him here, he just offered a share of gold and silver as an apology, Yang Lin was impatient to go to Liangshan, the two sides made an appointment for recommendation, and bid farewell.

　Congratulations to Leng Yanshan for their reunion~
