Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 252 Arrival
bang bang——

The white porcelain cup fell from Zhu Long's hand to the ground, shattering all over the floor. Small pieces of porcelain flew out and splashed around the feet wearing cowhide boots.

"What are you talking about! What happened to my father?!"

Zhu Biao, who had a delicate face, lifted the messenger up. His eyes were as big as copper bells, and the whites of his eyes were quickly replaced by bloodshot eyes. They were red and looked very scary.

"The owner of the village...the owner of the village was killed..."

"what!!"

Zhu Biao yelled and raised his fist to be beaten. Zhu Hu, who was sitting, suddenly reacted, stood up and hugged Qu Qi's arm: "Third brother, wait, let him tell you how my father died first."

Zhu Biao glanced at his second brother with a ferocious face: "Ah——" he yelled angrily, and pushed the person away violently: "Say! I can't tell you how much you will suffer!"

The banker staggered back and sat down on the ground. He also knew that Zhu Biao was a domineering person and did not dare to hesitate: "I was waiting for the vehicle to go to the county town. As soon as I left the forest, I met several masked thieves. When they come up, they kill people. The owner of the village is unprepared and kills them with a knife."

"Do you know who he is?" Zhu Long stood up with tears in his eyes, took trembling steps and approached the banker.

"Who else could it be? It must be the Liangshan traitor!" A violent voice vibrated in the room.

The banker nodded quickly: "I seem to have heard them say he is a Liangshan hero before."

"I just said..."

"Sanlang, it's not your nonsense that caused trouble!"

"How can you blame me!"

"If you hadn't been talking about bringing peace to Liangshan all day long, how could this have happened to my father!"

"Fart! The thief killed my father and came to blame me. Could it be that you and the thief..."

boom!
The palm of his hand slapped the table hard, and the huge force made the whole table tremble.

"Stop arguing!" Zhu Long looked at the two brothers with red eyes and pointed at the two of them: "Now is the time to talk about these things? It is only right to go and bring dad's body back first."

Zhu Biao and Zhu Hu looked at each other, moved their lips, and turned their faces to look aside. Zhu Long didn't care about them either. He took a breath and said to the banker: "Where did my father die? You Hurry up and wait for me."

"Yes, please come with the little one."

The banker responded, quickly got up, lowered his head, wishing for a hole to crawl into. The three young masters quarreled, and he didn't know whether they would be angry with him afterwards.

Zhu Long nodded, wiped his tears with his sleeves, and followed the man out. Upon seeing this, the two brothers behind shouted: "Wait for me!" and then quickly followed him.

When the sky darkened, Zhu Long carried Zhu Chaofeng's body back to Zhujiazhuang. Suddenly there was a burst of crying in the village. The three people wore sackcloth and mourning and buried Zhu Chaofeng. Zhu Wannian and Zhu Yongqing came after hearing the news. People were holding the coffin and weeping, and they swore to the sky and the earth that they would not be in conflict with Liangshan, which made everyone who came to express their condolences couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and they all envied the brotherhood of the three of them.

On the contrary, Duoxi, the third son of the Zhu family, was straight-forward. They didn't know how to react to their uncle's behavior, but it made the two of them famous.

At this time, the Zhu family was somewhat in chaos. Brother Zhu Yongqing stood at the front desk to preside over the funeral for his brother. Zhu Long and the other three were too sad. Secondly, no one around them mentioned these things. After making two jokes, they had no choice but to let it go. The two instructed, but in the eyes of everyone, they felt that there was a successor to Zhujiazhuang.

Some time had passed since the burial, and none of the guests who came to express their condolences had left. When Zhu Wannian and the two greeted the guests, no one noticed that three unfamiliar faces came in and talked passionately with Luan Tingfang. .

"Thank you Master, thank you heroes."

In the other courtyard, two young apprentices, dressed in sackcloth and white scarves, held wine glasses in both hands and toasted to the people opposite.

Over there, there were three men sitting next to Luan Tingyu. One was a tall, majestic man with thick eyebrows and a beard. He drank the wine in one gulp, looked at the young man opposite and said, "It's not hard work, but they are just some reckless farmers." , there is not even anyone who can be called a rival."

"Your uncle Wang is known as Sai Cunxiao. His strength is rare." Luan Tingfang put down the wine glass, raised her hand and patted the person next to her: "If you find an opponent, we will waste time and effort to protect you."

The big man surnamed Wang looked up to the sky and laughed. He stretched out his big hand to lift the wine bottle and took a big sip: "Brother Luan said it is not as exaggerated. I only have the skills of a three-legged cat, but I only have a lot of strength."

"If you, Wang Tianba, only have strength, what do you think Brother Jin and I are?" The man on the other side looks ordinary, but he has a good temperament and is gentle. At first sight, he thought he was a scholar.

"That's right, Brother Wang is too self-effacing." Another man named Jin has a yellow face, always smiling, and his eyes are narrowed into a slit as if he can't open them: "Your martial arts skills are terrible. , shouldn’t it be time for us to go home and nurse the baby?”

Zhu Wannian and Zhu Yongqing looked at each other. The master on the side saw that the two apprentices were curious, so he smiled and said: "Come on, you three, don't always belittle yourselves. If you don't look at me, my apprentice will be confused."

The three people on the opposite side all smiled, and then Luan Tingfang pointed at Wang Tianba and said: "Your uncle Wang is indeed very powerful, but he is not the three-legged cat Kung Fu he said. He is actually a rare master in the world, with a pen in his hand. There are few opponents in Laos across Beijing, Tokyo and the West."

Another man pointed at the ordinary-looking man and said: "Your uncle Wei Yangyin has won the martial arts examination. He has a spear in his hand that is difficult to defeat. He has courage that no man can match, and he is not much inferior to my elder brother."

"Hey!" Wei Yangyin quickly waved his hand: "How dare you compare with Luan Dalang? Erlang, please don't give me eye drops."

Luan Tingfang laughed and cursed, and made a gesture: "Shut up and introduce you to the apprentice." Looking at the Zhu brothers, he said again: "That one is Jin Chengying. He was going to join the army for the sake of you two. He came here specially for the incident, and he is also good at using spears and archery, and is very proficient in martial arts."

After hearing this, Zhu Wannian quickly stood up and poured another glass of wine for the three of them. He and Zhu Yongqing said to the three of them: "For my brother's personal affairs, I have caused all my uncles to come thousands of miles away. I am really ashamed, so I will express my brother's gratitude with this glass of wine." The two of you will be rewarded later."

The two raised their heads and drank. Over there, Luan Tingfang was smiling and accompanying her three friends. Wang Tianba put down the cup, put his hands on his legs and said, "It's not enough to reward you. I never thought you would do something big before I came here. He actually had the idea to destroy Liangshan."

As Wei Yangyin and Jin Chengying exchanged glances over there, the big man continued: "It's just that you really have to think about it. There are thousands of Liangshan troops and I don't know how many leaders. It's not a joke to fight against them."

"Brother Wang praises the Liangshan thieves too much." Wei Yangyin curled his lips: "Since the founding of our dynasty, there have been many thieves who have no king or father, but none of them can become a phenomenon. They are just rampant for a while."

His eyes turned to the two brothers on the side, with a ferocious expression on their faces: "My two nephews still need help. Although my uncle is not very capable, he still wants to settle a score with Liangshan!" Zhu Yongqing glanced at the two brothers in surprise. Zhang had an ordinary appearance. He glanced at Luan Tingfang and saw that his master was also a little surprised: "Brother Wei, why are you involved with Liangshan?"

Raising his hand to pick up the jug, the man surnamed Wei poured himself a glass of wine and drank it. Then he said: "I have a friend named Li Zongtang who was killed in Hebei. I searched the rivers and lakes for a long time before he found out. He died at the hands of E Quanzhong in Liangshan."

He looked at the crowd and said, "Brother Li and I have the same temperament. He died miserably, and I should avenge him."

A few people suddenly realized, but before they could say anything, Jin Chengying said: "Even if it's so bad, I'll stay here."

"Brother Jin, why don't you..."

Jin Chengying glanced at Luan Tingfang, who was in a daze, and shrugged: "Originally, I was going to join the army. Didn't Brother Luan want to lead troops to suppress the bandits because the Zhu family is related to Yun Tianbiao, the Qingzhou military commander?"

On the opposite side, Zhu Wannian nodded seriously and said, "Yes, that's what my cousin said." At this time, both Zhu Yongqing and Luan Tingfang lowered their heads, their eyes a little evasive.

The few people here didn't notice it. Jin Chengying responded, nodded and continued: "Then I'd rather go far than the near. I'll fight two games here and kill a few thieves. Maybe I can ask General Yun to recommend him. , isn’t it much better than surrendering to the army?”

Zhu Yongqing and Luan Tingfang remained silent, but Zhu Wannian patted his chest and said, "Uncle Jin is so heroic. My uncle likes heroes the most. I will definitely say a few nice words in front of my uncle when the time comes."

Jin Chengying squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "I'll take it seriously, uncle. I'll thank my nephew in advance."

"It's true." Zhu Wannian agreed without any hesitation, making the other person smile even more kindly.

"That's all, if you stay, I'll stay too." Wang Tianba slapped his thigh and said angrily: "In the past two years, some people in the world have been extravagant, and others have said that Lu Bu is brave, bah! I don't think so. I am convinced that he has waited for a long time, but it is a pity that I am only one person and cannot defeat his thousands of brothers. Now that I have the opportunity, I will wait for him. "

I wish you great happiness. He quickly picked up the jug and poured some wine. He said, "With the help of three uncles, it is really more powerful than a tiger. My nephew, thank you."

Glancing at his younger brother, he secretly thought that with so many people on his two brothers' side, the fight for the head of the family would gain even more momentum.

Zhu Yongqing and his master looked at each other and raised their eyebrows. The current apprentice stood up and bowed: "Thank you three uncles for your help. This kind of friendship will be remembered by Yongqing for the rest of his life and he will not dare to forget it."

The three men across from them quickly waved their hands to tell the two brothers not to be so polite. The banquet suddenly seemed to be a happy one, and it was very lively for a while to eat wine and vegetables.

……

The sky was bright, and in the cool autumn wind, more than a dozen horses rolled up smoke and dust, and with the roar of their horses' hooves, they headed towards Pantuo Road.

"Little official, the road ahead is Zhujiazhuang." Fu Yu, dressed in a dusty body, rode on his horse and said to Yunlong, who looked tired.

"We're finally here..." Yunlong exhaled and glanced at the old man behind him. Pang Yi still looked energetic. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could his body look worse than an old man? .

Fu Yu didn't see him like that. As he was bumping up and down, he said loudly: "Follow me closely for a while. There are some mysteries on this road. If you don't pay attention, you will get lost in the forest."

Everyone behind was a little confused, but thinking that the other party's master was working as a teacher here, the other party must have a deeper understanding of this than themselves and others, so they couldn't help but agreed.

When Fu Yu heard the response, he didn't dare to be lazy. He slowed down his horse a little. He recalled in his mind the road he had taken when he came to visit his master before. Then he trotted inward with his horse. Between three turns and five turns, someone kept running in the wrong direction. Fu Yu had no choice but to look for it, and it took him nearly two hours to escape from the Pantuo Road where the trapped person was destined.

"What a dangerous place."

When Yunlong came out of the forest, he couldn't help but look back. He felt that the trees standing behind him were like man-eating monsters, and he was somewhat frightened.

"Huh! This is very dangerous." Pang Yi stroked his gray beard and rode on the horse, bumping with the horse's hooves: "Compared to the life-and-death fight between Bianting and Xixia, this place is just a trick to confuse people. It can only be regarded as a little troublesome."

"This...not everyone is like Master."

Yunlong smiled awkwardly. He had waited to come to Yunzhou so late, but he suddenly had the idea to invite this old man to come with him. He thought that when his father led his troops to the south, he would let this old man also contribute, but he didn't expect this old man to come with him. But the son had to be allowed to become a disciple, otherwise he would not be allowed to leave.

Fu Yu was so angry that he wanted to teach him a lesson based on his youth, but the old man knocked him unconscious. Yunlong was also aware of current affairs, so he became Pang Yi's teacher, but was left in Pang Yi's home to teach swordsmanship for a while. Fa, we just set out to come here. Fortunately, Yunlong has a small amount of money, otherwise more than ten people would have eaten up this stubborn old man in such a long time.

"Eh? Someone has died in Zhujiazhuang?"

"It's true, I don't know who died...ah, will Hui Niang be okay?"

Not knowing what he was thinking, Yunlong whipped his riding whip and rushed over quickly. Fu Yu quickly followed behind him, and he could hear Pang Yi saying in his ears: "How can you be so frizzy and frizzy? A man should pay attention to his behavior." It is really a shame for a man named Wen to change his color because of a woman."

The conductor's face twitched and he didn't dare to answer. He just lowered his head and whipped his horse to move quickly. Fortunately, he still remembered that his master was here, restraining the knights behind him not to trample the crops.

Running quickly, they arrived in front of the village in a short time. Yunlong tightened the reins, and amidst the neighing of the horses, he dismounted, asked for the direction, and headed towards the Zhu family. Fu Yu did not dare to neglect, and quickly asked someone to lead the horse. Optimistic, he ran inside to chase Yunlong.

"One and two are so impatient. The current generation is really out of shape."

Pang Yi Shiran dismounted, looked at the two people's backs, frowned, and muttered something before moving forward.

Ahead, Yunlong, who was running and panting, arrived at the gate of Zhu's house. He looked at the hanging white lanterns. Although he knew that Liu Huiniang was fine, his mind couldn't help but think about the worst. He stepped in and looked at the rather large yard in confusion. When Fu Yu ran over from behind, he looked around, grabbed a young man and said, "Wait a minute, I want to ask you something."

"roll!"

But he didn't expect this man to have a bad temper. The moment he was grabbed, he turned around and punched Yunlong. With a bang, the fist hit Yunlong's eye socket.
