Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

"It's in the alley next door, go find it yourself, don't bother me!"

The irritable words came out of Gao Qiu's mouth, the cheap guy outside responded, and then ran away with messy footsteps, then turned his face and said to Sun Jing angrily: "If I don't still want to use this naughty son, I can't wait to see you Break his legs and make trouble all day long."

"Marshal Dian, this is a joke." Sun Jingsheng has a fair appearance, with a goatee, and his hair is combed meticulously. Some gray hairs are mixed in the hair, which makes him look no longer young. Said: "Father and son love so much, how can you be willing to break his leg?"

Gao Qiu didn't say a word, just nodded the scribes in front of him with his hand, and sighed: "The commander of the palace is currently in a state of desperation, and Hu Yanzhuo's unsatisfactory defeat in Liangshan has lost a large number of soldiers. The emperor, you can't ruin his mood at this juncture, and the minister is using this matter as a raft, insisting on letting the imperial army build the palace."

He reached out and patted the table, tilted his head and sighed again: "This is a matter of hurry, and let people not live."

"Don't worry, commander-in-chief." Sun Jing's smile remained unchanged, and she slowly rubbed her beard with her fingers: "It's actually just one thing."

"Huh?" A look of puzzlement flashed across the face of the commander-in-chief who looked up: "How did it become a thing?"

The scribe on the opposite side put down his hand, bowed his body and said: "Master Dian, the only thing you worry about is the defeat of the surnamed Huyan. I am afraid that you will lose your position in the hearts of the officials, but Xiaoke wants to ask you, how can you be so different from the officials?" Close?"

"You mean..." Gao Qiu is also a smart person, he raised his brows and looked at Sun Jing: "Would the officials care about my mistake in the recommendation of the commander-in-chief?"

"The official family is a person who misses old love. If the commander-in-chief thinks of him every day and puts the official family first in everything, why worry about whether there is a mistake in the recommendation?" Emperor, you are going to help with all your strength, and the Lord wants to transfer the imperial army to build it, just give it to him, after all this is done, how can the officials care whether Hu Yanzhuo wins or loses?"

"...That's true." Gao Qiu rubbed his chin: "The commander-in-chief of the palace is not good at commanding troops, and the officials don't know..." The expression on his face relaxed again: "According to what you said, transfer the imperial army sooner." Go, don't delay the important affairs of the official family."

In a few words, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were determined by the officials of the three yamen, and changed from soldiers who defended their homes to masons. The two people in the living room didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but one of them was quite happy. Another was smug about the idea.

slap--slap--

The door of the room was knocked, and then the voice of the sergeant on duty came: "My lord, there is a commander named Liu Shixiong who asked to see the commander, and he said that he was an old acquaintance."

pop-

Gao Qiu stood up abruptly, and the chair was knocked down by his legs. Sun Jing looked in surprise, and saw that the Sanya Taiwei was excited at this time, and his outstretched hand was slightly shaking: "Quick, please go to the study in the backyard, and serve good tea first."

Sun Jing was curious, this study room is not accessible to anyone, only close friends or important ministers in the court are not allowed to enter, how can a commanding officer He De enter the study room of the leader of the Great Song warrior?Can't help looking at Gao Qiu and couldn't help asking: "Master Dian, who is this... who is here?"

Gao Qiu glanced at him, thought for a moment and didn't hide it: "This Liu Shixiong is the commander-in-chief of the palace and the savior. Without him, he would have died of illness in Lingzhou a few years ago. How could he still have the prestige of today? I didn't expect him to be a savior." Come to Beijing."

Sun Jing was stunned when she heard the words, it must have happened when Gao Qiu was fighting in the Western Army, and then secretly sighed that this life was good, looking at Gao Qiu's appearance, it was clear that he was grateful to him, and with this current status, the repayment was not ordinary.

Gao Qiu shook his sleeves, showed his hands and straightened his clothes, before he was about to go out, he said to Sun Jing, "You go to the army to deliver orders, don't delay the affairs of the officials."

Sun Jing bowed to answer, Gao Qiu shook his sleeves, walked out of the room quickly to the backyard, first found his own wife Gao Shi, this woman is much younger than Gao Qiu, she still looks charming, listening to it When my husband talked about Liu Shixiong's arrival, his face was also happy, and the husband and wife hurried out to meet the benefactor in the backyard.

That Liu Shixiong was sitting in the study room, but he saw that this man was about forty years old, he was strong and strong, and his face was full of traces of life. Handsome sir."

When Mrs. Gao saw her, she hurriedly saluted: "How dare you teach your benefactor to bow down, isn't this a disgrace to my husband and wife? Please get up quickly, and treat it as the two of us bowing to you."

Gao Qiu saw what his wife said, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Madam is right, there is no benefactor in Xiangri Lingzhou, Gao Qiu is already on the death bed, how come today?"

Liu Shixiong was relieved when he saw that he was polite, and his expression relaxed, and he said: "The etiquette cannot be revoked. I have never heard that the superior will bow down to the superior."

There was a smile in Gao Qiu's eyes, and he didn't let go, he quickly pulled Liu Shixiong to his seat: "You and I have been separated for a long time, and I didn't think there would be a time to see each other again."

"This is the young general's luck." Liu Shixiong was still a little cautious after taking his seat, and he didn't dare to sit carelessly. Instead, his back was straight and he seemed to be quite energetic.

Gao also sat down, put his hands on his lap, leaned forward and said, "I wonder if my benefactor has a place to live?"

"It's better not to call the young general benefactor. The young general grows up at home, and he is called the young general Liu Dalang." With an unnatural smile, Liu Shixiong continued: "I just came to Bianliang, and I haven't had time to find a place to stay in the future."

"Then it's better to rest at the mansion." Gao Shi smiled, looked at Gao Qiu and said, "Yao Kang and Yao Fu come back from school in the evening, so we can meet Da Lang, and we can also pay our respects."

"Madam is right." Gao Qiu nodded again and again, and smiled at Liu Shixiong: "If you don't want to stay here, my place is small, but I have two spare rooms, so I can have two drinks at night. Wine, let’s talk about our friendship.”

Liu Shixiong nodded and smiled: "If you dare not obey orders, everything will be according to what the Commander-in-Chief said."

In the evening of the same day, Gao Qiu had a family banquet. Except for Gao Yanei who went crazy somewhere, Gao Yaokang and Gao Yaofu were beside him. These two children are only thirteen or fourteen years old now, but they both look like Looking like a young adult, after listening to Gao Qiu's words, he went forward to worship the savior, panicked Liu Shixiong wanted to kneel down and return the salute, but was stopped by the Gao couple.

That night, Gao Qiu and Liu Shixiong got drunk from drinking and eating, they talked nonsense with this man, and then they went back to their room and fell asleep soundly.When he got up at dawn the next day, Gao said to Gao Qiu: "Yesterday, I wanted to tell the officials that now that the officials are the head of military officials, they should be able to arrange some convenience for Liu Dalang. Why don't the officials find a high-ranking official for him? Is it also repaying the grace of saving my life?"

"What madam said is true." Rubbing his forehead that was sore from the hangover, the commander-in-chief lifted the quilt and sat up on the bed, put on his shoes and socks, cleaned his face with clean water, and said while wiping: "My husband, let's take a look today." Whether there is a suitable official position for him."

Gao Shi nodded, and took a robe to put on Gao Qiu who opened his arms: "But there is a section that officials must not forget. Don't let him be your servant, otherwise you two will be dirty in the long run."

Gao Qiu folded his arms, tidied up his clothes, and nodded: "It's the right thing to do, don't need to ask, madam, don't worry."

"Then let's have breakfast first." Gao Shi straightened his collar, called the servant girl and said, "Go to the guest room to see if the guests are up? If they are up, please come and have breakfast together."

"Wait, get someone to bring you some hot tea first." Gao Qiu stretched his arms forward, shouted, and then turned to Gao Shi and said, "Last night, I ate a lot of wine, and my mouth was a little dry. I think Liu Dalang is just as well." Not long after the two sat down, a servant girl came back and reported: "The guest got up early in the morning and has already gone out to do some errands."

The two of them didn't say anything, they just finished their meals, and Gao Li approached Sun Jing and Zhang Bin who was in charge of the records of the military attache: "The commander-in-chief of the palace wants to promote someone, can you find a suitable position later?"

"Master Dian, should you let it out or..." Sun Jing looked at the person opposite, she realized something, her eyes showed envy, but she quickly hid it. He is a scholar, and he took another path. With development, the future is even brighter.

"Naturally, I'm going to be released from work, otherwise it would be inappropriate for etiquette."

Hearing this, Zhang Bin also lamented the luck of other people. It is unusual to have the support of noble people. He thought to himself, and kept searching for the rattling papers. Suddenly, the official raised his head and said: " Commander-in-Chief, there are not many people who have been resigned recently, only Wang Qing, the instructor of the imperial army, should be released at the end of this year to be the commander of soldiers and horses."

"Wang Qing..."

Gao Lian tapped the table, making a beeping sound, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Call him over, I hope he is a sensible person."

……

Beep--

The blue water hit the reef, broke into a white wave and receded in a hurry, and then a new wave rushed up, repeating what the previous wave did.In the distance, white seagulls plunged into the sea to hunt for food from time to time, and then flew up with water drops.

Lu Bu and his party stood on the edge of the cliff of the floating island, inhaling the smell of the sea, and their faces were a little satisfied. When they came to this island last night, they found that it was a good place. The island is quite far from the land. Looking back, I can only see a piece of desolation, which feels a bit like a paradise.

What's even better is that the island is quite big, and there is nothing wrong with hiding thousands of people living here. The terrain on the southeast side is relatively flat, while the northwest side is surrounded by cliffs, with rolling waves and dense reefs below.

"Brother, little brother caught a fresh fish. I haven't eaten the fish in this sea since I lived so big. Why don't you try it." Ruan Xiaoqi grinned, shaking the sea fish that was biting the hook. The fish with long arms and as wide as a body swung around, and the powerful fish tail slapped his exposed skin. Yan Luo didn't take it seriously: "It's a bit different from the one in the river, but it's quite strong. big."

Lu Bu turned his head to look at it, and raised his eyebrows: "It seems to be much bigger than the one caught from the water."

Wei Zhaode interjected after hearing this: "There are few people coming to this area, so the fish must be much bigger. If it is like the area near Bosi, Mizhou City, it is not so big."

Looking at Ruan Xiaoqi again, he rolled up his sleeves and walked over: "The fish in the sea tastes different from the inland rivers. Let me cook it. It won't save you from ruining such a delicious taste for the first time."

Ruan Xiaoqi twitched her lips, and handed the fish over: "If it's broken, it's broken, I'll catch another one."

"Then you have to be careful of the sharks in the sea, and be careful to treat you as food and fill the five internal organs temple." Han Kai laughed. Since returning to the sea, the bald man has been full of energy, as if he had eaten cold food powder .

"Bah! I still don't know who eats whom. Seventh Lord, when have I ever been afraid of animals in the water?"

"I hope you can say that when you see me!"

The sound of the argument spread out, causing Wei Zhaode to shout in front of him: "Come here quickly, and help light the fire later. If there is time to argue, I can cook this fish long ago."

"These brothers are having an easy time." Wu Jiao chuckled, glanced at them, turned around and said, "Brother, there are some farmers who can be arranged here, and another battalion of sailors stationed on the island is a no-brainer." Yu."

"I just don't know how many farmers are willing to come here..." Glancing at Qiu Qiongying, who was climbing mountains and mountains in the distance, followed by Yu Cheng, whose legs were weak from vomiting, and two figures, one big and one small, were waving to this side. Lu Bu responded He raised his hand: "Send more fishermen over here. The aquatic products here are so rich, there should be a lot of harvest, and some people are willing to come."

"Brother, look at the poor Taoist. The soil quality on the mountain is acceptable, and it's not a big problem to use it as arable land." The voice came, and Qiao Lie's figure came from behind, a Taoist robe was blown by the sea breeze, and the sleeves fluttered , Looking at the immortal wind.

"Then brother, you don't need to worry." Wu Jiao combed his hair, lowered his eyes and said, "There are no corrupt officials here, and no tax officials come to disturb you. There are still many people who are willing to work hard with their hands. came."

"Then it's settled like this. When you go back, you and Liu Min will preside over the relocation." Turning around and looking at the sea below: "It's just as good as the rules on the mountain."

"Yes."

Stepping towards the beach below, Lu Bu was probably still in a good mood. On the beach below, Li Yu, Sun An, and others who had rested all night seemed to have regained their strength. They were standing over there talking about something, waving their arms and pointing. They are all dangerous places on both sides, and they are also talking about stationing and other things when they think about it.

Stepping on the beach, there was a rustling sound. The two turned their heads when they heard the movement behind them, and cupped their hands: "Brother."

"Looking at the appearance of the two virtuous brothers, it seems that there is no problem." With a chuckle, Lu Bu patted the shoulders of the two.

The big black man touched his head and grinned wryly: "I'm ashamed, I made my brother worry."

"Brother has a good physique, but he is completely unaffected by the waves." Sun An smiled bitterly: "Sun Mou never thought that he would look like that when he was on the sea, it really is..." Shaking his head.

"This matter has nothing to do with physique. Isn't Qiongying's little baby all right?" Lu Bu smiled, remembering that there was another god, and asked, "Where's Ma Lingren?"

"Lying on the rock over there." Pointing to the distance, he looked at Lu Bu: "Can you call him back?"

"Forget it, let him stay." While shaking his head, the tall figure walked towards Wei Zhaode: "I will leave for another island later, and I will call him then."

The sea breeze blew, and the two men who ruled the roost on land looked at each other behind, unable to smile. (end of this chapter)
