Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

The morning sun blooms from the clouds, and the golden light drives away the unfaded black, extending along the streets, houses, and city walls, taking everything in the world into its arms.

The glazed gold tiles of the Palace Commander's Mansion reflect the sun, and it still looks solemn from a distance. In the spring, the imperial guards wearing armor stand outside the door. From time to time, the polished metal flashes a light in the sight of passers-by, making people unable to open their eyes. open your eyes.

When I came here again and saw Wang Qing in front of me, my mood was completely different from the previous two days. I had a sense of comfort in the past when I was humiliated and humiliated, but today I turned around and turned into a master.Shi Shiran walked to where Gao Qiu was sitting and raised his head at the general on duty at the door: "Excuse me, please tell me that Wang Qing is here to collect his official uniform and seal."

"Wait."

The general had an ordinary face, and when he heard the words, he just replied blankly, turned around and entered the hall, Wang Qing was outside listening to the roaring inside: "How dare this fellow come here!" "I really think of myself as a character." " Give him the things and let him go!" A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself that I was lucky, no matter how strong you are, don't swallow your anger and give me this soldier.

It didn't take long before the general came out with a brand-new official uniform with official seals and identity certificates on it. The moment Wang Qing reached out to take it, the general said, "The commander-in-chief ordered, take the things and roll away." After leaving Bianliang, if you are still in Tokyo tonight, I will not let you rest."

Wang Qing's face twitched, and he thought to himself that he had offended Gao Qiu ruthlessly this time, and actually let the commander-in-chief, who had pretended to be a gentleman for a long time, tear up his face and say such cruel words on the street. Although he was a little arrogant, he was not arrogant. Those who are afraid, dare not test how far Gao Qiu can do it, so he took the things and said: "Understood, let's leave now."

After that, he took out the package he had prepared in advance, wrapped his things, turned around and left. As he walked quickly, he heard the sound of breaking porcelain behind him. He raised the corner of his mouth in an arc and walked out of the Palace Commander's residence with his head held high like a winner.

The general in the rear stared at him coldly. The moment Wang Qing disappeared, someone else walked up quickly and whispered a few words to him. The general nodded, waved the person away, turned around and walked into the hall, facing Gao Gao. Qiu Yili said: "Commander, I have already left."

Gao Qiu, who was sitting behind the desk, raised his head. There was no trace of anger on his face. He slowly smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes. The palace commander said calmly: "Gao Chonghan and Hu Chunke have acted as ordered." ?”

"Someone came to report just now, and Gao and Hu have already followed."

"Go and inform the husband and ministers to get along with me. Don't keep the two ministers waiting in a hurry."

"Yes."

The general bowed and clasped his fists and was about to leave. Gao Qiu's cold voice sounded: "After you are done, send someone back to report. You should follow. Remember to tell Gao and Hu to leave the person to the two husbands. When everything is done, come back." After that, you, Cheng Ziming, will be the Duke of Yuhou."

"Thank you so much, Commander-in-Chief, for your cultivation." He knelt down on one knee, and the moment he raised his head, his ordinary face was filled with red light, and there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes.

"Okay, let's go to work."

Gao Qiu waved his hand, and the general named Cheng Ziming hurriedly stepped back and left. The palace commander who was sitting on his seat looked at the clouds floating in the sky outside, and slowly pulled out a hint of fierceness at the corner of his mouth: "If you can survive this, I just accept it, so what if I give you the commander-in-chief of soldiers and horses."

……

The wind during the day was a bit warm, and Wang Qing walked in the market refreshed. No matter who he knew or didn't know, everyone on the opposite side nodded and smiled, which made many people who passed him feel doubtful and scratch their heads. , frequently looked back at Wang Qing's figure, wondering if he had seen him somewhere.

"The officer is very interested!"

Unfamiliar words came into his ears, somehow, Wang Qing instinctively felt that he was talking to him, and the moment he turned his head, he saw a Taoist in the guise of fortune-telling and divination, stroking his beard and looking at him: "Are you... That person that day?"

Wang Qing covered his chest and ribs with one hand and looked at the Taoist priest in front of him with some vigilance. The place where he was poked last time seemed to be vaguely painful. He didn't want to be poked again.

"It seems that the high official still remembers me." Li Zhu, who was wearing a disguise, still looked kind.

Wang Qing looked at him and sneered: "It seems that your calculations are not accurate. Grandpa, not only have I not been in trouble, I have had a prosperous official career."

Reaching out to stroke his beard, Li Zhu shook his head and did not argue. The moment he turned around and walked away, the words floated to him: "You are a white tiger in office, please be more careful in your actions."

Wang Qing frowned, scratched his head as he watched the Taoist drifting away, and muttered: "You are so nagging, what kind of tiger official? I have already been promoted to such a high position, I really don't know what to say."

He didn't take it seriously either, the man still walked towards his home, his home was some distance away from the Palace Marshal's mansion, he walked around for a meal, and when he got back home, he knocked on the door and yelled: "At home, why don't you come home?" I'm going to take off my clothes, I'm going to take up my post right now."

Wang was stunned: "Why is it so urgent?"

"You don't care about it." Wang Qing took off the package and opened it: "Look, here is the new official uniform, and then look at the official seal..." He picked up the seal and handed it to Wang: "This is all Real guy."

Wang frowned: "You... stole it?"

"What are you talking about!" Wang Qing was angry: "It's not like you don't know. Yesterday, the palace commander's office notified me to pick it up and asked me to leave the city and take up my post immediately."

Ms. Wang became more and more confused, "Why did you leave immediately if you didn't steal it? Isn't it a custom to leave home in five days to say goodbye? Don't you have a drink with your friends before leaving Beijing?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Wang Qing's face: "Didn't I offend the palace commander yesterday? He asked me to leave the capital within a time limit."

"Just do it, sooner or later I will kill you!" Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes at him, got up and walked towards the back room: "Come and help, it will be faster if we clean up together."

Wang Qing hurriedly followed behind him. The couple started packing at the same time. Without daring to delay, they put some clothes and money into the bag and took a bag of dry food. Wang Qing said: "I will send someone to pick it up when I arrive. you."

"It's okay. Let's go quickly. Don't let Gao Dianshuai think that you are still in the capital."

Wang Qing smiled, wrapped the simple knife, and headed towards the car rental dealer in the distance. It was too far to go to another state, and the time given by Gao was tight, so he didn't have time to go to the pier to find a boat, so he rented a car Let’s leave Bianliang first.

With this idea in mind, the man went to the car dealership closest to his home, negotiated the price, and set out immediately.

……

"The man is in the car."

"Everything is arranged?"

"The car dealership is run by someone under my concubine, so there is absolutely no problem."

"go!"

During the brief conversation, the burly man raised his weapon, sat on his horse, and then left under the guidance of the former.

……

"General, that man has left home."

The general, who closed his eyes and rested his mind, grabbed the knife on the table and said, "The Sa family knows."

……

The afternoon sun shone on the carriage, making the shadows slanted and slender. Amidst the rustling of leaves, the wheels rolled over the dirt road. Wang Qing, who was leaning on the wall of the carriage, swayed slightly as the carriage shook. His eyelids drooped and he felt a little dizzy. Drowsy.

thump—

"Ouch... hiss..." The momentary jolt of the vehicle caused Wang Qing, who was almost asleep, to hit the roof of the car, and opened his eyes the moment his head hit the board: "You...how did you drive?"

The driver in front didn't make a sound, Wang Qing frowned, ignoring the severe shaking of the car, grabbed the window edge, lifted his body with both arms, and lifted the curtain suddenly: "How do you get away..."

The mountain wind blew through the tree crowns, and in the swaying light and shadow, one could see some unfamiliar scenery around them, and there were no pedestrians at all.Wang Qing is not a person who has never been out of the city, but he has never been on this road, and his dizzy mind suddenly felt the situation, and wiped a simple knife with one hand: "Where is this?"

"Guests, please be patient. This is a shortcut..." The driver turned his head slightly and said loudly: "It's much closer than taking the official road. Not many people know about it."

"No!" Wang Qing, who was a little alert, suddenly drew his knife and put it on the neck of the driver in front: "Stop, I, this is not right."

"What are you doing, guest? The things in your hands are very dangerous. Please hold them carefully."

Looking directly at the back of the coachman in front of him, amid the sound of the wheels turning, Wang Qing couldn't tell for a moment whether the man was afraid or not. However, the next moment, the coachman pulled the reins, and the moment the horse slowed down, Wang Qing had an intuition. Unexpectedly, he subconsciously drew his hand back and waved the sword.

"when--"

A sharp wrist-removing knife blocked the swinging blade, and the coachman turned over and jumped off the shaft: "Next time you kill someone, remember not to make such a big move, it's all up to your neck, take it back and what are you doing?" "Who are you carrying?"

In the midst of the shouts and questions, the coachman grinned and said, "I want you to be a sensible person. I, Hu Chun, please die."

"Gao Qiu!"

Gritting his teeth, Wang Qing suddenly understood. He looked at the coachman with an embarrassed expression, jumped onto the horse in front, swung the knife in his hand, cut off the reins of the cart, and used his legs to knock the horse.

Hu Chun stood where he was, and didn't react when he saw Wang Qing's actions. He just watched with cold eyes. When the horse was moving its hooves, a slender black shadow flew out from the bushes on the side.

puff--

The arrow penetrated from the horse's neck, and the horse fell to the side with a scream. Wang Qing also reacted quickly. With a force, he rolled off the horse's back and rolled away in embarrassment. He raised his head and looked to the side with an ugly face.

The big man holding a bow and arrow in one hand walked out of the woods, with a look of determination on his face. He pointed at the fallen man with the bow in his hand: "Where are you going?"

Wang Qing's heart immediately went cold. He saw three more people carrying swords and guns appearing in the woods over there. One of them was the one he had seen in the Palace Commander's Mansion this morning. His scalp felt numb immediately. He stood up, held the knife in his hand and pointed at Cheng Ziming. : "What a Gao Qiu, you actually plotted against me!"

"What's going on in your mind, the Commander actually knows it very well." Amidst the sound of the blade rubbing against the scabbard, Cheng Ziming drew out his single sword and said, "Was the play this morning so enjoyable? The Commander specially performed it for you, you Feel honored!"

Wang Qing gritted his teeth and said, "I am so lucky. I have a lawless eye and intercepted and killed court officials. You and I are also just scumbags who are aiding the evil!"

"Shut up!" The big man with the bow threw the bow away, took the knife from Jingchao, and glared at Wang Qing: "You keep saying that you are not a man, but you are a prostitute in other people's house!" You bastard, you really deserve death!"

"You...you're my wife...you're from Tongguan?" Wang Qing felt a chill in his heart, and felt a chill spread from his heart to his whole body.

"Prince of the Sa family, I'm here today to get rid of you, the lewd thief!"

While speaking, Wang Jin walked forward, and Jing Chao, who also drew his knife, also followed up: "Although I want to kill you, but you make me look at you differently. You dare to offend my wife, and you dare to offend my husband." , It’s really a coward.”

"……Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Amidst the crazy laughter, Wang Qing almost doubled over with laughter. Several people approaching him stopped and glanced at each other, all confused as to why he was laughing.

"Bah! Don't call that slutty bitch a chaste and virtuous woman. It's not like she fell in love with me. She found someone to get Ma Bo Liu to seduce me into her bed!" The figure carrying a knife pointed with his finger. Wang Bao and Jing Chao in the front: "I don't obey women's morals, how can I blame me!"

When the two of them frowned, the tall Gao Chonghan rushed forward with a knife: "Don't listen to his nonsense, kill him first!"

Wang Zhen and Jing Chao both came to their senses and ran towards Wang Qing angrily: "You are a garrulous person who knows how to talk!"

"I will fight with you!"

Wang Qing also knew it was difficult and had the luck to make sense. He charged forward with a simple sword towards Gao Chonghan, and slashed at the head with the blade, making a whirring sound.

when--

With a standard saber in Gao Chonghan's hand, he slammed away Wang Qing's blade, and when he slashed down with his backhand, he slashed at the head of the handsome man opposite him with fierce killing intent.

Almost at the same time, Wang Qingdao raised the hilt of the knife. With a loud bang, he raised his leg to kick the opponent, but he bumped into the opponent's raised knee. Under the force of the two, they both staggered back.

The moment the high-charging man moved, Cheng Ziming rushed forward quickly. Taking advantage of Wang Qing's instability, he slashed with his sword. The blade buzzed through the air. The figure on the other side barely managed to dodge sideways. The blade cut through his clothes and brought out a trace of anger. Canopy of blood.

"what--"

Wang Qing screamed and used both arms to force Cheng Ziming away with one knife. On the opposite side, Wang Zhen and Jing Chao slashed at him with their knives.

when--

puff--

Wang Qing tried his best to block Wang Ting's head-slashing knife, but Jing Chao slashed his thigh and staggered. Wang Ting raised his leg and kicked on the opposite body. When the person flew backward, Hu Chun's eyes flashed behind him, Coming soon.

"Uh...you..."

Feeling the burning pain in his lower back, Wang Qing reluctantly turned around. The moment he saw the person's face clearly, he remembered the sharp knife in the other person's hand: "Go away——"

Summoning his remaining power, he suddenly stepped forward to break away from the blade, and struck back with a slash. Hu Chun only had short-hand soldiers and did not dare to make a direct attack, so he jumped to the side to avoid it.

The blade had a bye. Wang Qing staggered along with the force and managed to stand upright. Blood flowed down his waist and soaked his lower clothes.

puff--

Blood spattered, and a snow-white sword blade protruded from his chest with blood on it.

"Heh...cough..." Wang Qing felt the pain in his chest and back was unbearable, he tried his best to turn his head to look behind him, his face came into view, and at the same time, his voice came to his ears: "Laozi Jingchao, go down and see you!" Don’t forget it, King of Hell!”

Pulling out the long knife, a cloud of hot blood splashed onto his face. With a cold face, he wiped the blood on the knife on Wang Qing, who fell to the ground with his eyes wide open. Hu Chun walked over and took a look: "Won't the two generals take the heads back? "

"What are you doing taking it back?" Wang Ting looked at the dead body on the ground with a disgusted look on his face: "You're an adulterer, don't insult the handsome man."

"The Prime Minister doesn't want to see him either." Jing Chao stood up and looked at the clean blade: "If you want it later, cut it off and take it yourself."

"The commander-in-chief didn't ask." Hu Chun shook his head, squatted down and stabbed his neck twice with a sharp knife, thick dark red blood flowed out, and the man got up: "Two stabs."

The others shook their heads, said nothing more, turned around and walked back. Hu Chun wiped the sharp knife and put it away, and hurriedly followed behind.

In this open space, there were only two dead bodies, one person, one horse, and behind them, the curtains of an empty car were blown by the wind, as if they were calling for something.

……

As the daylight turned to the west, in the dim sight, seven big men walked into the place where they were fighting during the day.

"Is this guy dead?" Ma Jin walked over to the dead body, looked at it, and grinned as if he had a toothache: "It's really miserable."

"It's quite tragic." Teng Kan also came over to take a look, turned around and said, "What should we do now? Brother Li, your man is dead."

Li Zhuben was stroking his beard and standing in the back, when he heard this, his face darkened: "You should keep your mouth shut from now on, what do you mean my person is dead, this kid has something to do with me."

"The person you were optimistic about is dead, what should I do now?" Yuan Lang frowned, always feeling that all his hard work was in vain, and he felt a little empty in his heart, as if he had lost something.

"What should I do?" Li Zhu squinted his eyes and looked at everyone: "I took the 'gift' and went to Liangshan to join the gang."

The understatement made the rest of the people look at each other in blank dismay.

"Brother Li, aren't you angry? You've been waiting for more than half a year for this result."

"Why are you so angry?" Li Zhu turned his eyes to the questioning Ma Xie in puzzlement, "I told you a long time ago that this is a catastrophe, and if you can't make it through, you will die. Now that you die, it just proves that he is not qualified."

Swinging his sleeves, he turned around and walked away: "Now I have to find someone who is qualified."

Li Yan didn't say anything and just followed his uncle. The others quietly followed each other, shrugging their shoulders.

Under the blood-red sky, the woods became quiet again. (end of this chapter)
