Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 25
The sky was dim, and the blue sky was filled with burning clouds, as if the sky and the earth were filled with bright red, but the red fire still couldn't stop the invasion of the cold.

In the small Juyi Hall, the wine and meat that had cooled down during the day were removed, and steaming braised pork and freshly made dishes were put on the table again. Some of the minions served hot wine, and a table of banquets was ready. Complete.

Under the leadership of the minions, E Quanzhong washed his hands and face, and borrowed clean clothes to wear. When he came to the Juyi Hall and saw that everyone had been waiting for a long time, he quickly handed over his hands and took his seat.

After three tours of wine and five tastes of food, Fei Zhen held the wine glass and said, "It's a pity that I was guarding the house in the village just now, and it's a pity that I couldn't see Brother E's demeanor."

E Quanzhong smiled wryly and shook his head, "I'm ashamed, Li Zongtang and I are only brothers, even though we haven't lost him, we can't beat him, if it's not Lu Bu brother today, don't you want to be chased by this fellow? Door."

As he spoke, he bowed his hands to Lu Bu to thank him.

"What's it worth?" Lu Bu waved his hand: "I can't get used to Li Zongtang's phony demeanor. It has nothing to do with you. There is no need to thank you for this matter."

Qiao Lie was afraid that the people listening would be uncomfortable, so he hurriedly said to E Quanzhong: "Brother is such a person, he talks less and does more, Brother E, don't take it to heart."

E Quanzhong smiled and said: "Brother Lu Bu has a bold temper, and he is much more sincere than people who are full of benevolence and morality. It seems that this is the temper of a hero of my generation. How could I mind it?"

Only then did Qiao Lie and Deng Fei, whose ears were pricked up, feel relieved, and raised their wine glasses to toast E Quanzhong.

E Quanzhong put down his wine glass and looked at the hall, "However, why did brother Lu Bu set up a gate in Baishi Mountain? There are many military states here, so it's not a good place to play."

Just as Lu Bu was about to open his mouth, Xue Can hurriedly said, "This is not my brother's business. My brother has only been here for a few days, but this is a deal that Brother Fei Zhen and I made together."

Fei Zhen nodded and said: "That's right, we two came out of the army at that time and saw the danger of this mountain, so we thought about setting up a stick here, but when the blood receded, we realized that this is not a place for business. Xiao Nao can't develop, so I'm going to give up here and go to my brother, because my brother doesn't think we are stupid and accepts our brother."

Lu Bu shook his head and said: "What are you talking about? This is the fate of you and my brothers. It is God's destiny to let the two virtuous brothers wait here."

Fei Zhen laughed and said, "It's my younger brother who made a slip of the tongue. I will punish myself with three cups."

As he spoke, he drank three glasses of wine.

Deng Fei smiled and pointed at Fei Zhen: "I think you're a glutton for alcohol."

Everyone laughed, having fun for a while, E Quanzhong took a sip of wine, and said sadly with a bit of wine: "You are really loyal men, brothers are afraid that my brother will be misunderstood and lose prestige, and brothers will lose their prestige. I'm afraid that my brother will be looked down upon by others and speak up to protect him. Where is it like me, I can't even avenge my brother-in-law, so I'm a waste."

Lu Bu frowned: "Then Li Zongtang is dead, who else can stop my brother from revenge?"

E Quanzhong said helplessly: "Then there are two people in Shen's family who are very extravagant. One is Shen Ji, who is the cousin of those two beasts. He is proficient in using a knife. He is called an iron sword general. There is another The teacher, Wang Dashou, used to become a monk in Shaolin Temple, but was expelled from the temple for violating the temple rules and wandered in the rivers and lakes. He made a good gun and rod, because he could wield a [-]-jin heavy-duty iron gun, so he was called King Dashou of the Iron Spear.”

After drinking another glass of wine, E Quanzhong was a little annoyed: "If I'm not afraid of either of these two people, I'm not afraid of these two people, but I can't beat them."

Seeing that everyone was quiet, they watched as E Quanzhong grabbed the wine pot and poured it into his belly one gulp. Deng Fei patted him on the shoulder for comfort.

Seeing him drinking heavily, Lu Bu recalled unpleasant memories again. Immediately, the tiger's eyes narrowed slightly to prevent the murderous intent from showing in them. His tall and burly body stood up, blocking the firelight and forming a shadow, and his low-pitched words gathered together. There was a sound from the righteous hall: "Don't act like a child, it's a man who picks up a knife and kills that... what... uh..."

Seeing that Lu Bu forgot to say anything, Qiao Lie quickly reminded him, "Shenjiazhuang."

"Yes, Shenjiazhuang, crush that Shenjiazhuang with someone." Lu Bu got the reminder, and quickly added the words.

E Quanzhong shook his head and said, "How did this happen? This is my younger brother's business alone. How can I labor for Brother Lu Bu to do it?"

"Noisy!" Lu Bu snorted, turned and walked out: "I have decided to take away the money and food from that village for later use. If you don't come, don't blame me for killing everyone."

Ma Ling stood up with a smile and said: "What brother said is that the younger brother has long felt that money is tight recently, and he should make a profit."

Xiao Haili also stood up: "Wherever the leader says to fight, I will fight there."

Fei Zhen and Xue Can stood up and said, "This is the first battle since my younger brother defected to my elder brother. I also hope that my elder brother will bring the two of us together."

Deng Fei patted E Quanzhong's arm and said in a low voice, "The elder brother's decision has not been changed."

Qiao Lie also persuaded from the side: "They are all green forest heroes, why should they be so cold-blooded?"

E Quanzhong stood up, clasped his fists, and bowed deeply to Lv Bu: "My elder brother is loyal, and my younger brother can't repay it. After killing the enemy, I am willing to join my elder brother's command. I will die before death!"

Lu Bu paused, looked back at E Quanzhong and the others, and said calmly, "Follow."

Immediately, he called the minions and put on their clothes, and everyone took their weapons. E Quanzhong's brow sharp knife was too chipped to be used again, so he found a simple simple knife in the stockade of the cottage to make do with it, and led a horse to give it to him. He was ready.

At that moment, the crowd gathered more than sixty minions without night blindness, and because of the darkness, they lit torches and E Quanzhong led the way down the mountain.

Right at the time of You, a crescent moon quietly watched the strangely rocky Baishi Mountain, and a fire dragon appeared from the mountainside and gradually descended, landing on the flat ground.

……

Under the same sky, the Shen Family Manor.

Today's Zhuangzi is terribly quiet. In the past, there were servants or servant girls who dared to walk around the manor at night, but now they all hold their breath and dare not make a sound. Instead, he quickly returned to the house to rest.

In the main house, an old man sits at the head seat, two robust young men sit facing each other at the lower heads, and a young servant stands behind.

Li Zongtang said that Shen Taigong, Shen Jiancang, was unconscious. His old face was full of ashes. Tonight, a servant who went out with Li Zongtang came back and reported that Mr. Li was killed by E Quanzhong and the strongmen of Baishishan together. Suddenly, the angry old man jumped into a rage and wanted to discuss with his nephew, but he didn't expect that this bastard and Mr. Wang went out to drink and didn't come back until the time came.

Shen Jiancang made a sullen face: "Think about what kind of brigands those Baishi mountain bandits are, a gang of short-lived grassroots bandits with no more than a hundred people, who only dare to rob single pedestrians, and those who hide when there are too many people. The government opened its eyes, how could it be reasonable."

After scolding the grassroots, Shen Jiancang cursed again: "Those officials should be damned, none of them dared to come forward to help, watching Professor Li being killed, they are all trash!

There is also Li Zongtang, teacher Li, who usually boasted that he was amazing, saying that with the knife in his hand, the grass bandits and bandits who could wipe out three mountains and five mountains, even the famous Lu Liujin and Su Mo'er just didn't meet him, otherwise Let them eat one knife and kill the frontier.

What happened now, did he die at the hands of the even more incompetent Baishi bandits? "

bang——

Shen Jiancang slammed the cup to the ground, the boy beside him trembled in shock, and immediately shrank back even more, trying not to let the old man see him.

Shen Ji had a broad face, bushy eyebrows and a big nose, and comforted him like a filial son: "Uncle, don't worry, when I go to the county yamen in the morning to do some sorting, I will call the guards to dispatch to clear up the thieves in Baishi Mountain." .”

Wang Dashou had kind eyebrows and kind eyes, his head was shiny and shiny, and he continued: "Today, Teacher Li is not weaker than Na E Quanzhong, but it is that group of thieves who are unruly and killed Teacher Li's life shoulder to shoulder with him. But from this, we can also know that the martial arts skills of that group are no better than that of E Quanzhong's brothers, and in the future, I will be able to kill them all with Brother Shen."

Shen Jiancang said angrily: "It's the best, E Quanzhong dares to kill my son, he must not let him live, as well as the thieves who helped him, let him all die."

"Yes, don't worry, uncle, let them all die." Shen Ji echoed and comforted: "It's getting late now, uncle please rest, and my nephew will go to the county government office tomorrow morning."

Shen Jiancang angrily walked away with the support of the servant.

When the two of them were far away, Shen Ji let out a "Pooh" on the ground: "If the two little bastards die, they will cause trouble for me, and now it will cost me a lot of money."

Wang Dashou chuckled: "Brother Shen, don't worry, this property belongs to you anyway, just spend money to buy a safe place around you, besides being strong, you also have prestige."

Shen Ji looked back at him and said with a sneer: "It seems that what you say is reasonable, but just by listening to it, you can tell that the strong man is not small, and I hope Brother Wang will help me. After the matter is done, your benefits will be indispensable."

Wang Dashou's eyes lit up: "Then it's a deal, no denial is allowed."

Shen Ji snorted: "The grasshoppers on the same rope can't fly you, and can't jump me."

Wang Dashou stretched his waist: "That's the best, I'll go to sleep first, you're going to the county government office tomorrow, your uncle who suffered from the plague asked me to train Zhuang Ding."

Shen Ji nodded, watched as Wang Dashou walked away, and spit on the ground again: "You are also greedy, wait until E Quanzhong and those gangsters are killed, and see how I greet you."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left the room. He first found a jar of good wine by himself, and then got some sauced meat from the kitchen. Most of the jar of wine was filled with a rumbling sound.

"Thunder?" Shen Ji went to the door with a blushing face, opened the door and looked outside, a crescent moon was hanging in the sky, and there were twinkling stars beside it, but there was no cloud.

Hearing the rumbling sound getting closer and closer, it stopped abruptly, and suddenly woke up: "Not good!"

He took his own knife from the room, and hurriedly prepared to go out and run towards Wang Dashou. Before he left the house, he heard a noise in the front yard. He looked up and saw that Wang Dashou came in from the courtyard gate and ran towards his place with an iron gun in his hand. The two stood on the same spot, facing each other, and suddenly said in unison: "There are bandits!"
