Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

"Brother Li went out today and will come back, but did he forget something?"

Yuan Lang wiped his face with a sweat towel. His red face was even redder from sparring with Ma Tao. Big beads of sweat were left on his neck, and his chest, front and back were all wet.

"I'll naturally come back when I lose interest."

Li Zhu leaned the cover against the wall and went to the house to get the teapot. He took a big sip directly from the spout without using a cup.Neither he nor this group of rough guys could get used to the time-consuming and laborious process of ordering tea, because the teapot had already been filled with cold brewed tea, and drinking it now would quench their thirst.

"Pfft - bah -" After spitting out the tea leaves he drank and wiping his mouth, Li Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his nephew who was sitting on the ground tiredly. He walked over and pulled him up: "This Don't sit down suddenly when you are tired, go to relax your muscles and bones, and go to bed to rest for a while if you are really tired."

Li Yan nodded tiredly and turned to the side. Teng Si threw down the stone lock and came over and said, "Brother Li, how long will we stay here in Bianliang? It's been more than half a year."

However, since everyone had robbed the birthday card, they had arranged everything and came to Bianliang Xiaoju. Although he did not worry about money while waiting, waiting was a bit boring. Fortunately, several of them were highly skilled in martial arts and could compete with each other on weekdays. It can relieve these boring days.

"I told you that I would come by myself, but why did you rush to accompany me? Who is the weird one?" Li Zhu glanced at Teng Si next to him angrily, then took a sip of herbal tea and looked up at the horizon leisurely. The floating white clouds grinned: "But it's too soon. Wait patiently for a few days, and you'll be able to leave Bianliang soon."

"That's great." Teng Kan came over and stood next to his brother: "I've seen that those Bianliang people are so unpleasant. They look at each other with their noses pointed at each other. I can't beat them one by one."

"You've already been beaten!" Teng Si slapped him on the forehead, so hard that his brother squatted down with his head covered: "Last month, the last month, and the last month..."

Yuan Lang thought of Teng Kan's achievements in the past six months, and his face twitched: "Brother Teng, what he calls every month..."

Li Zhu chuckled lightly and did not get involved in the bickering between these people. He just carried the teapot and swayed towards his room. The "flower" he had been waiting for for a long time was about to bloom, which was a happy thing.

……

The next day.

The bright sun hangs high in the sky, and the clouds floating across the sky block it from time to time. In people's sight, the sky is sometimes sunny and sometimes cloudy.

Wang Qing scratched his scalp and returned home early. When he opened the door, he saw his wife sitting there eating breakfast. Then he walked over unceremoniously and sat down: "Give me something to eat, I'm starving." .”

"You'd better starve to death. You won't have anything to eat at home all day." Mrs. Wang was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she muttered and got up, filled the porridge, brought it over and threw it in front of him. The bowl shook, and some porridge spilled out.

Wang Qing parted his legs so that his pants wouldn't get wet. He looked up at Mrs. Wang and said, "Hey, I said, slow down!"

"Why are you so slow? Were you too slow when you drilled into a woman's crotch?"

"Hey... who... someone drilled into a woman's crotch."

Mrs. Wang took a bite of the pickle and looked at him with a sneer: "Who can hide the smell of powder on your body?"

"I..." Wang Qing actually raised his hand and sniffed the clothing on his arm. It did smell like powder. He cursed secretly, spread his hands and shrugged, and took a sip of the porridge: "It's just a joke, there are some differences among colleagues. I can’t put off socializing, it’s something I can’t do anything about.”

"Humph..." Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes and ate angrily.

Wang Qingle stopped asking questions and just ate her own breakfast. Wang watched him finish, grabbed the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

The man who had been homeless all night stroked his chin and thought for a while. He stood up and walked to his kitchen. He leaned against the door frame and watched Mrs. Wang washing there. After a while, he said, "I said, there is someone at home now." Let me ask you something."

"If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, let it go!" The woman was still unhappy and her words were a bit vulgar.

Wang Qing didn't pay attention to her attitude, and immediately repeated what Gao Qiu had said to him yesterday, stroking his chin and said: "That's the thing, I can't make up my mind right now whether to let the person named Liu. "

When Mrs. Wang heard what he said, she couldn't help but slow down her hand movements. She straightened up and looked back at him: "Ah, this... is a difficult problem. I think it's better to let him do it, so as to avoid getting enmity with him. I ruined the palace commander's good deeds and ended up offending him, hey, are you listening?"

Wang Qing frowned and asked who asked. However, although Wang's words were well-intentioned, they made him a little unhappy. He immediately exhaled: "Listen, listen, I'm going to the Palace Commander's Mansion right now."

He turned around, lowered his face, and secretly cursed himself for why he came back to ask this woman, it was so annoying.

Mrs. Wang had been married to him for a long time, so how could she not know what he was thinking? She threw the rag in her hand on the stove, angrily put her hands on her hips and yelled at Wang Qing's back: "You stubborn bitch, If you have the ability, beat the man named Liu to death and see if the man named Gao will let you die too!"

Wang Qing heard the cry in his ears, curled his lips, but quickened his pace, opened the door and walked away.

Today's Dianshuai Mansion seems to be a little different from the past. The usually listless Forbidden Army stood outside in a circle in full armor and stood guard. Wang Qing was led to the Martial Arts Field with a puzzled face. The moment he entered, he saw several A square formation formed a semicircle around a high platform, with several broad-shouldered and round-waisted generals standing in it, their figures holding swords looking majestic.

On the high platform behind, Gao Lian's uncomfortable face was smiling and talking to the elegant middle-aged man. Seeing that the man was dressed gorgeously and richly, Gao Lian, a handsome man, stood behind him and dared not Pass over.

Become a high official!

Wang Qing thought to himself, but he was not of a high enough rank, did not know many officials, and did not know who this person was.

From a distance, he saw Gao Qiu inviting the middle-aged man to sit down. He immediately came down to the high platform and asked someone to call the man next to Wang Qing. "You two are here this time. There are noble people here. The martial arts competition will be more exciting. If you fight well, you will be rewarded.”

Liu Shixiong nodded excitedly.

Gao Qiu nodded in response, and then looked at Wang Qing meaningfully: "Wang Qing, are you okay with it?"

Damn it, are these guys convinced of me?

Wang Qing felt a little evil in his heart when he heard this, but his face was still respectful and he said: "Young general, I understand everything."

"it is good!"

Gao Qiu gave Liu Shixiong a look, and the man immediately went to the side with Wang Qing to prepare. However, the handsome man of the Song Dynasty ran to the top position and whispered with the middle-aged man: "Guan family, It’s all ready.”

Zhao Ji smiled when he heard this, leaned back in his chair, took a tea cup from the table next to him and sipped gently: "Good tea, this is made by a famous master."

Gao Qiu smiled when he heard the words: "Mrs. Weichen once learned the way of tea on purpose, and learned that the official came to make it herself today."

It was a good thing that the venue of the contest was set at the Palace Commander's Mansion. Although Zhao Ji came here casually, he still had time to call his wife to serve the tea. Otherwise, there would be no one who could make tea soup among the fighting men in the mansion.

Zhao Ji tapped him with his hand: "You are a lucky guy. Come on, don't be a petty minister. I came out to relax today, and I don't want to be as rigid as the court."

Gao Qiu rolled his eyes when he heard this and said quickly: "Yes, Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Zhao Ji stopped drinking tea, then laughed, with a nostalgic look flashing through his eyes: "I haven't heard this title for a long time...Okay, let's take a look at your arrangements for your sophomore year of high school today."

Gao Qiu was overjoyed when he heard this. Zhao Ji still called him the same way he did when he was hiding in the mansion. He waved his hand to the side to start, and he was talking dirty words next to Zhao Ji as he did when he was helping. Hearing this The emperor laughed.

Dong-dong-dong-dong - the drumsticks were raised and lowered, and the vibrating drumheads made a loud sound. The wind blew, and for a moment the flags in the field roared, playing the prelude to the battlefield together with the war drums.

The sound of horse hooves sounded on both sides of the martial arts arena. Wang Qing, wearing dark leather armor, came out on a yellow war horse. He removed the tip of a long spear and wrapped it in a thick cloth, dipped in white powder, and rushed into the venue, shouting: " Tokyo Wang Qing, please advise!”

The sound of hoofbeats also sounded from the opposite side. Liu Shixiong also appeared in the same appearance, riding a black war horse. As he was walking slowly, a voice sounded: "Liu Shixiong of Lingzhou, learn the tricks."

"Commander of the Palace orders, the competition begins!"

The sergeant who delivered the order had a loud voice, and under Zhao Ji's interested eyes on the high platform, Wang Qing grabbed the gun suddenly, his handsome face twisted, and he looked at the opposite side with a smirk: "Okay, let me experience the majesty of the Northwest man—"

The moment the words fell, he shouted loudly: "Drive--" The moment the war horse moved, a shallow pit was kicked out of the soil.

Liu Shixiong shook the gun barrel, clamped the horse's belly and responded: "Then let you see!" The long gun wrapped in thick cloth in his hand stabbed Wang Qing's chest, and the opponent's gun and stick moves came fiercely, and the horse's head A moment of confusion.

bang——

The wrapped gun head collided with the gun barrel, and there was a sound of hard wood colliding. Liu Shixiong only felt a little numbness in his arm, and a little white in his eyes came closer, and he suddenly tilted his head and flashed. After the two horses crossed each other, his dark face flashed. His side was scratched by the gun barrel.

"Come on!" Liu Shixiong was a little frightened and angry, and turned his horse's head with a roar.

Four hooves flew forward, and he rushed straight towards him. He exchanged blows with the gun barrel swept by the evil wind several times. Wang Qing from the opposite side suddenly knocked the horse's belly. The moment he got close to Liu Shixiong, his arms suddenly exerted force, and the gun barrel suddenly pushed away from the opposite side. The spear, with one wrong hand, the barrel of the spear had already reached Liu Shixiong's face.

"Don't think about—"

Liu Shixiong clenched his teeth and tried his best to seal the tail of Wang Qing's gun. The blow was not affected at all. Wang Qing held the middle part of the gun barrel, and with the help of his opponent's strength, he swung the gun while the arm was rising and falling, and the end was dipped in powder. He hit Liu Shixiong hard on the face who was looking over: "Get out of here!"

Bang!
The head of the gun hit the flesh and blood, and the blood flew into the air with a white tooth. The strong body fell to the side and fell off the horse. The galloping horse ran to the side of the field and was stopped. Wang Qing At this moment, he felt that he had let out a bad breath. The anger subsided, but as soon as his heated head cooled down, he broke out in cold sweat again. He did not dare to face Gao Qiu, so he quickly reined in his horse and ran towards the outside.

Above the high platform, Gao Qiu glared at him fiercely and gritted his teeth.

"Well, the fight was good, but it was too short. I... Xiao Wang Fang has some interest and it's over." Zhao Ji, who was sitting in front of him, nodded and sighed regretfully.

Gao Qiu's cheeks twitched and he narrowed his eyes, but he said as usual: "Your Majesty, wait a moment, this is only the first show, there will be performances by generals below."

"Oh? Then the little king will have a good time watching." The emperor, who called himself the prince, changed his sitting position and crossed his legs.

Gao Qiu waved his hand down and made a gesture. Sun Jing, who had been paying attention to the movement here, immediately signaled to Gao Chonghan who was standing beside him. At that moment, the man quickly raised his phoenix wings and gilded gilt, and called his rough-looking colleague, Turning on his horse, he rushed into the arena in a hurry, shouting and fighting again and again.

For a time, the sound of metal clashing in the martial arts field continued, causing cheers from the high platform.

……

The sun descended from the clouds in the west. Under the red clouds, Gao Qiu, who had bowed to say goodbye to Zhao Ji, straightened up. His handsome face instantly twisted like an evil ghost. He looked fiercely at the tall man aside: "Take my business card and go. Go to Privy Council Cai You, Cai, Sun Jing, go to the Prime Minister, he happened to be in the capital these two days and told all the good deeds done by Wang Qing."

After taking a breath, he continued: "Let's talk to him for a while and tell him that the commander-in-chief will send that guy out of the capital in the next two days."

Sun Jing frowned: "Master Dian, if Wang Qing makes this matter big..."

Gao Qiu sneered: "You and your wife told Privy Councilor Cai to ask him to wait patiently for a while, and not to use official means to scare the snake, lest the man would die in despair, and no one would be good-looking by then. .”

Sun Jing and Gao Chonghan looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

That night, Cai Mansion and Tong Mansion each lost several pieces of porcelain.

……

Speaking of Wang Qing, after he came out of the Palace Commander's Mansion, he was also uneasy and did not dare to go home. He found a brothel to sleep in for a night. Xiu Si hung around for two days and saw that the market was as usual, he felt a little relieved and decided to go home.

The familiar streets and the neighbors who had not changed at all made the man feel more at ease. He walked to the door of his house and knocked on the door: "Honey, I'm back."

The door opened with a creak, revealing Wang's face. The only difference was that it was different from the past. There was actually a happy look on this woman's face: "The head of the house, Xie is back!"

Ok?
Wang Qing's face froze, and he stretched his head to look into the room. When he saw that no one was buried, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Why do you look like this?"

"Congratulations! Congratulations!" Wang happily took Wang Qing's arm and said, "Come in."

Wang Qing followed in confused, and saw Wang closing the door, turning around, running into the room and taking out a document: "The official document from the palace commander's office said that you will be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the army and horses in Tanzhou."

"Ah?" Wang Qing was a little stunned. When did Gao Qiu become so talkative?

I took the document and looked at it. I couldn't help but feel surprised when I saw that it was all correct.

Mrs. Wang was still chattering: "The person who came to deliver the documents said that you were lucky. If there were no noble people there that day, the emperor would not have allowed you to get the appointment so easily. He also said that the palace commander asked you to go to the mansion to receive the appointment. Hey, did you hear what I said? I told you..."

Wang Qing didn't hear what the woman said. He thought of the people on the high platform that day and thought, "It seems that someone is optimistic about me. This makes the palace commander unable to do anything. I am lucky."

In an instant, his face beamed with joy, and he thought to himself, sophomore year, what are you doing to stop me now?

……

At the same moment, Cai Mansion.

Jing Chao, a tall man, stood with his head lowered in front of the hall. A housekeeper from the Cai Mansion came up to him and said, "Mr. Lang has ordered you to kill someone, and then I will give you a future."

"Chao, take the order!"

……

Children's House.

The stubble-bearded and majestic Xiang Tongguan sat at the top, looking down at the strong-looking military commander: "Major minister, this is a scandal in the Sa family. I would never have taken this step unless I was in a sad place."

He stood up and bowed to the ground: "I hope Zhengchen understands the Sa family's feelings as a father. My daughter being deceived is something the Sa family will never tolerate."

"Commander, don't do this." The military general known as Zhengchen stood up, supported Tong Guan, and then saluted with clasped fists: "The Sa family is also a father. How can I not understand the commander? This matter is left to the Sa family and will not be used." He left the ground in Gyeonggi Province alive." (End of this chapter)
