Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 259 Arrival
"Mr. Lang, my relatives are gone, and only Xun is left..."

"Brother often said that a husband is a person who does great things, and the slave's duty is to serve the husband well. At that time, the slave was very afraid, but when he got to Xie's side, he discovered that the master cherished the slave, and the slave was very happy."

"I have always remembered my brother's instructions and did not dare to be arrogant due to favor. However, today I boldly ask my husband to avenge my brother!"

……

Under the golden clouds, the scarlet cloak swayed with the steps. Lu Bu, who raised Fang Tian's painted halberd and mounted his horse, shook his arm. Amidst the sound of the cloth shaking, the tall figure stepped onto the fiery red horse: "Let's go!"

woohoo-

dong dong dong-

The sound of horns sounded under the blue sky, and war drums were beaten in the temporary camp. The low and sad sounds mixed with the drum beats became an emotional catalyst at this moment, and excitement surged on the faces of the densely packed soldiers.

The war horse wrapped in thick fur began to move, and there was a loud noise as the muscles stretched and contracted. The horse's hooves trampled the ground, and the soil rolled up with snowflakes. The black and white colors blended together in the air, and then fell to the ground, unable to distinguish each other. .

The bloated figure wearing leather armor and fur coat began to keep up with the horse army in front. Occasionally there was the sound of soldiers and armor clashing. The walking footsteps stepped on the fallen black mud, flattening it, bringing up new mud, and then Being stepped on by the footsteps that followed, like this a thousand times, I forced myself to step on a new path, and the atmosphere began to become solemn.

"Du Lisan and Tang Erhu have gone to investigate first. They also brought a gift prepared by a certain person for the Zhu family. They have informed the entire army how to enter and exit the Pantuo Road. There will be no danger of getting lost... I have only one purpose this time, to find the Zhu family and take revenge!"

Under the white clouds, the northwest wind blew his robes. Lu Bu sat on Chitu's back and said something in a low voice. Most of the generals around him were silent. Du Bu held the reins and gently stroked the golden man. Dragon head shoulder armor: "Don't worry, brother, we will not let these thieves go in this battle."

"Many soldiers in our army had their families slaughtered, and they were all holding their breath and wanting to vent their anger. Brother, I wonder if the sword will be sealed in this battle?" A sudden voice sounded, and everyone turned around to see that it was the black man who had sneaked in at some point. The horse army is in the middle.

The figure on the red rabbit turned around and glanced: "Why are you coming up here, with Dong Xian leading the army behind you?"

"Yes." With a toothy smile, the thick black man scratched the beard on his chin: "Anyway, it's not even war time yet, so my little brother came here first."

"Go back soon, what are you talking about when the commander comes running out?" Shaking his head, Lu Bu looked at the snoring Red Rabbit, stretched out his hand to smooth the mane that was messy in the wind, and said lightly: "Someone can You are not someone who kneels down to be grateful even after being beaten."

He grinned slightly and turned his head: "In this battle, we will not seal the sword!"

He was refreshed, bowed his hands and saluted, and immediately rode back.

"Long live the village master!"

"roar~"

bang bang bang-

The advancing army horses were a little dumbfounded, and they all turned their heads to look. A loud roar erupted from the infantry team at the rear. Someone raised a sword and knocked on the shield. The people around him followed suit, and soon the sound of metal colliding was heard. Echoes under the sky.

"It seems that this battle will be a bit bloody..." Ma Jin turned his head and muttered.

"What you sow, you will bear." Li Assistant, who was riding on the horse, held the reins and raised his hand to stroke his beard: "Why worry about these people?"

"That's true..." Ma Jin turned to look at Li Zhu when he heard the voice, and saw two long swords crossed on his back. He couldn't help but was startled, and he got closer and said, "Why is Brother Li carrying two swords... Hmm?" ?Is that the Jade Snow Sword that Brother Yao got?"

Li Zhu stopped stroking his beard and patted the scabbard with his backhand: "That's the sword. Yao'er was injured and couldn't come. My uncle did his share for him."

Ma Jin looked at his brothers. The two shrugged. Ahead, a desolate horn sounded, and the advancing team quickened their pace.

……

The sky light changed, and more than thirty knights rolled up the snow dust. The horses sprayed white air. There was an empty horse in the middle. A box the size of a person was tied to the horse. The two knights next to it stretched out their hands to support it. However, the box did not seem to be sealed. Well, red liquid dripped from below from time to time, splattering all the way.

"Is that Pantuo Road ahead?"

"What a dense forest..."

"It looks like a bigger forest this way."

The sound of whispers spread from behind, and Du Lisan, who looked gloomy in front, turned around and yelled: "Shut up!"

For a moment, the entire team was silent.

"Let's go in and deliver the gift first." The sullen Tang Erhu kicked the horse's belly, and the horse started to move forward with its legs and feet.

"Commander, what's in this?" The man holding the box was a little curious. He stretched out his hand and patted it, and the wooden box banged: "It's solid. It looks like there's something big in it."

"Why is this bleeding?" the person holding the box on the other side echoed.

Du Lisan turned around and took a look, his face looked a little ugly. He turned around and said, "Don't ask around, you don't want to know."

He looked at the forest covered with white snow in front of him and exhaled, "Two teams of people will follow me in. The rest will wait here."

"I'll go! You are careful and watch here." Tang Erhu dismounted with a short spear on his back, reached out and pulled out one and walked quickly forward: "Everyone is watching the turn of the poplar tree."

In an instant, ten people dismounted, holding weapons in hand, and galloped into the famous local Pantuo Road. After more than half an hour, a group of people and horses ran out. Du Lisan waved his arms, and the people protecting the wooden box rushed in. Soon, there was a puff of smoke. Rising in Pantuo Road.

……

Zhujiazhuang, front hall.

The branches in the courtyard were swaying, and the snow on the dead branches was blown by the wind and fell. A brazier was burning in the hall below. The shadow of the person was reflected on the ground, almost invisible due to the sunlight shining in from outside. Then there was The sound of palms slapping on the table.

"This is provocation! How dare these thieves do this!"

The brazier made the sound of burning wood in the room. Yunlong, who had flying bats embroidered on his clothes, spoke separately. Next to him sat Zhu Yongqing, who looked gloomy. The people on the left and right below were all pale-faced. Wei Yangyin and Wang in the seat Tianba clenched his hand bones so hard that they crackled.

The white-haired Pang Yi stroked his beard and closed his eyes to rest. Hearing this, he opened his eyes slightly and glanced at his apprentice: "Quiet! He just wants me to be distracted so that I can take advantage of it. Isn't it right for you to get angry at this time?" What does the other party have in mind?”

"But Master, the other party actually skinned Brother Jin and sent him back. How can such humiliation be tolerated?" "No, Master Pang is right. I can't mess up the situation at this time." Zhu Yongqing Instead, he clenched his fists and echoed the old man below: "I have ordered the dealers who know about this to shut up and keep them under guard. We must not let such shocking things spread."

Zhu Biao laughed out loud: "What's the use? With so many people seeing it, how do you know he didn't tell others about it."

"You..." Zhu Yongqing slapped the table and stretched out his finger. Zhu Long and Zhu Hu looked up with sneers on their faces.

"Well, what's more important at this time is that Liangshan is probably going to attack soon. Since he can put Brother Jin into the entrance and exit of Pantuo Road, the secret of Pantuo Road may not be there." Luan Tingyu, who was twirling his beard, suddenly said, He glanced at everyone in the hall and said, "I have to make preparations early."

Everyone in the hall fell silent after hearing the words. Luan Tingyu seemed to have a three-way bond at this time, but he could still hear what he said. In silence, Zhu Biao slammed the table: "Spineless!"

"What are you talking about!"

Wei Yangyin stood up immediately, Wang Tianba also glared at him, and across from him, Zhu Long and Zhu Hu leaned towards their brothers, glaring at each other.

"Okay, the enemy should not cause conflicts at this time, but boy Luan is right!" Pang Yi shook his head and said, Luan Tingyu glanced at the white hair on his head, without saying a word, the old voice continued He said: "If the secret is leaked, let it be leaked. Pantuo Road is just a trick!"

Several people from the Zhu family glanced sideways, and the old and strong body over there stood up and shouted like a bell: "The confrontation between the two armies is still about frontal combat. This time we should let these thieves see how I used to be on the sidelines." The court is fighting with the Western Xia barbarians, and this battle will definitely dispel the arrogance of the thieves."

Yunlong quickly stood up and clasped his fists: "It all depends on Master."

The firewood crackled and sparks flew out.

……

Compared with the large number of people in the front hall, the four people in the side room were also restless. Today, everyone in Zhujiazhuang saw the looks in their eyes. Their faces were as heavy as water, as if they owed tens of thousands of dollars and still didn't pay them back. , Li Ying, Du Xing, and Hu Cheng were all people who had been involved in the business world for a long time. They didn't guess that there was something wrong. They simply hoped that their family would only restrict them from going out, but would still allow them to visit each other in the courtyard.

"In the past two days, Hu Cheng has seen signs of mobilization of village heroes in the village. He may have done something serious." Holding the stove in his hand, Hu Cheng lowered his voice and leaned forward: "It's just that since the day before yesterday, the village has always been able to When I heard crying, I thought someone in many families had died."

"It seems that these guys have suffered a loss." Du Xing patted his thigh upon hearing this, with a sarcastic smile on his ugly face.

Li Ying touched his chin, looked outside the room, and also lowered his voice: "It may not be a good thing."

The three pairs of eyes on the opposite side looked over, and the man outside frowned: "If Liangshan comes to attack, if we lose, your family and I will be in danger of being annexed by the Zhu family. If Liangshan wins, there is still a possibility that your family and I will be annexed by the Zhu family." , I will never get a good life no matter what!"

"My aunt would rather let Liangshan borrow all my food." She gritted her teeth and squeezed out a vicious word from her red lips.

Hu Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "Little sister, don't make trouble. Dad is alone at home. What if something goes wrong?"

The girl turned her head angrily, and the Flying Tiger turned to look at Li Ying: "Do you have any objections to me?"

"Difficult!" After pondering for a moment, Li Ying tilted his head and shook his head: "Now we can only pray that Liangshan will break Zhujiazhuang quickly. You and I will meet their leaders and redeem ourselves with money and grain. In this way... it may be possible to save Zhuangzi. "

"I'm afraid they won't let you go, but they want money and food from you and me." A clear female voice sounded, and the three men looked at each other for a while, and sighed at the same time:
"It's difficult——"

……

After half a day, the sky became gloomy, the fluffy clouds became thicker, and the cloud base was stained with lead color. It looked as if it was going to rain. In the dense forest on one side of Dulonggang, a man squatting behind a tree held a weapon in his arms and held his hand. Copied in the sleeves, the heat of the arms warmed the hands that had lost their warmth.

"Why haven't you come yet? Didn't the spies say they saw the large army in Liangshan?" Fu Yu didn't dare to get up, so he only stretched his neck and looked outside.

"There are still thirty miles to go, so be patient." Pang Yi, who had his eyes closed, spoke to comfort him. This time he brought out half of Zhuang Yong to hide in the dense forest in order to create a psychological gap. Don't you know the Pantuo Road? How to go?I just didn't want to ambush you over there. I was probably slacking off when you came over, and I just caught you off guard.

"I'm afraid Zhuang Yong won't be able to bear the cold weather for a long time." Looking back, he saw Zhuang Ke huddled up behind the ambush tree.

"The fighting will get hot after a while." Pang Yi stroked his beard, opened his eyes, glanced at Luan Tingyu who was leaning on the tree trunk and smiled: "I'll have to see Teacher Luan's methods later. How many of you and I can catch him?" The leader, also skinned and cramped, and sent him back."

Luan Tingyu looked as usual and nodded: "That's what the old general said."

Fu Yu looked at his master, crouched and walked over and whispered: "Master, thank you for your hard work. Mr. Pang has such a temper. He is actually quite good."

"You're too worried." He patted the cold armor on his disciple's body with his hand and replied softly: "My master has passed his prime years long ago, so he doesn't care about these things."

After a pause, he looked into his disciple's eyes and said, "Be more careful in a moment. If nothing happens, it's best to stay with me."

"Master, don't worry, I can do it alone now..."

"coming!"

Zhuang Yong, who was watching, shouted softly. The crouched man behind him immediately straightened up and stretched out his hand to hold the cool weapon. Some people's breathing gradually became rapid, and in the cold weather, bursts of white air emerged.

"Shut your mouths and breathe calmly!" Pang Yi yelled in a low voice, holding the handle of the knife with his thick palm. The ground shook and a roar was approaching.

"Listen to my orders and wait until the enemy is approaching before sending a signal." Pang Yi glanced at Zhuang Yong who was shaking slightly. His slightly shaking body made the golden gong make a slight sound, obviously very nervous.

In the distance, the black shadow gradually became clearer. A figure wearing a uniform and holding a shield and a gun could be seen clearly. His footsteps resounded on the ground, and a large banner with the word "绻" fluttered high in the air.

"Why is it that the infantry is leading the charge?!" The astonished veteran moved his legs and feet, straightened his neck and looked outside.

Luan Tingyu tilted his head slightly, twitching one corner of his mouth, then turned his face and said seriously: "In this case, the trip horse rope will be useless. We can only ambush him when he passes by."

……

"Commander Wei, after passing this dense forest, we will reach the land of the true master. We have already tried to walk through the Pantuo Road. It is indeed dangerous, but as long as we follow the method, we will be fine."

Du Lisan rode on the horse and pointed forward with his hand. The dark man looked at the woods for a moment, then turned around and said, "This forest is quite a big place, but..."

The big copper bell-like eyes narrowed slightly: "Is it too quiet?"

　PS:

　　After fishing, um, I will find time to post the map of Liangshan Shuibo later. Some heroes in the province think that the foot of the mountain mentioned by Xiao Ke really means the foot of Liangshan Mountain-_-||
