Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 265 Familiar Things

"Quickly clear the stones from the gate."

The killing at the top of the city stopped. Sun An, who was covered in blood, walked down the city wall and ordered the soldiers to start clearing the stones and debris blocking the main entrance. Groups of Liangshan infantry troops were walking down the stairs around the city wall. Then they ran toward the farmer's home carrying bloodstained or bright knives and spears, and the screams rang out again.

Zhujiazhuang was defeated, and some of the previous accounts had to be settled. Lu Bu stepped on the wall with a group of guards, his scarlet cloak fluttering in the evening wind, and stood on the city wall to look around. Dead bodies were scattered, and greasy blood was flowing. They were all over the ground, and boots made a squeaking sound when stepped on.

Soon, news came to Lu Bu one by one from the soldiers who reported the news. Several main figures in the enemy's defense of the city, including Erlang Jun and the three heroes of the Zhu family, had been beheaded. Luan Tingyu, a famous hero in the world, was killed by Li Zhu. Another young man also died here. According to the prisoner, he was named Yunlong.

The sky was getting dark, and the surrounding soldiers began to light torches. The flames were blown left and right, making a whirring sound. Yu Cheng leaned over and said, "Brother, the sky is getting dark, why don't you go down first."

"I'm not that delicate." Lu Bu shook his head, looking at the black smoke and fire rising from the village in front, and the faint sounds of screams and shouts coming from the air. He pointed with his finger: "The sword has not been sealed at this time. , where can I rest."

"Then I'll go ask people to hurry up and clear out the Zhu family's house first. The leader can rest there." Xiao Haili's loud voice sounded from behind.

The figure in the scarlet cloak glanced back. The Khitan man was jumping down from the crenel, and nodded: "That's fine."

Xiao Haili was refreshed and quickly walked towards the city wall, holding the handle of the knife in his hand.

Lu Bu followed slowly behind, looked at the sky that was starting to turn dark, remembered what happened before, and smiled suddenly: "I don't know who won the bet between Li Zhu and the others."

Thinking of the words he heard before, Yu Cheng also chuckled and walked behind Lu Bu: "I guess it's the Teng family brothers or the Ma family brothers. After all, brothers working together in battle is better than two brothers Yuan Lang or Mr. Li alone." Be stronger."

"That's not true." The words coming from below the city wall answered Yu Cheng's words: "Brother Li rushed in first."

Yu Cheng was shocked and looked down. Teng Kan was squatting on the ground poking the stones with a steel whip in his hand. Hearing the voice above, he raised his head and answered.

Lu Bu also poked his head out, and couldn't help but laugh when he saw his appearance: "What, you and others have lost to Brother Li Zhu?"

"Brother." Teng Kan stood up, said hello, and sighed helplessly: "But somehow, Brother Li's swordsman is also convinced, otherwise I would never be able to work with him."

While talking, Lu Bu and others had already walked down. Behind him, Yu Cheng looked at the depressed Teng Di and asked curiously: "Then why are you staying here?"

The man holding a single whip across from him curled his lips and muttered even more depressedly: "He is betting next month's wine to see who can win the Zhu Family Courtyard first. I won't go. Isn't that the first time I've made a bet that it's not Li?" The more you win, the more you lose if this goes on, so you don’t fall for that evil trick.”

"Ha, you are quite clever." Lu Bu couldn't help but laugh, reached out and patted Teng Si on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, follow XX."

Teng Xin nodded, paused, raised his head and said, "It seems that Xiao Haili's trip was in vain."

……

The sight began to get worse, and there were fires all around. The soldiers who rushed into Zhujiazhuang were killing everywhere to vent their hatred. A dog barked a few times, and then disappeared after a period of mourning. Then from time to time, the sound of someone screaming could be heard, and there was a commotion. In the crowd, several figures were walking towards the central courtyard with firm purpose.

There was a burnt smell floating in the air, and an ominous atmosphere was revealed.

Someone screamed and ran away from them. A few people watched indifferently and didn't care. The village soldiers who caught up behind them stabbed them to the ground. Then they stood up, wiped the blood splashed on their faces, and walked to the next house.

"It looks like someone else will take the lead." Ma Xi walked quickly and looked around, holding the spear on his shoulder. He wiped the blood on his face with his hand, and a piece of dried blood fell off.

"I knew I would have bet on someone else." Ma Jin held the handle of the knife at his waist with one hand and held the torch with the other. He was a little uninterested and looked at the house in front of him with his eyelids drooped.

"The most valuable things are here, and they will come here sooner or later."

After speaking softly, Li Zhu, who was carrying the golden sword on his back, didn't have much thought. He just looked down at his nephew's jade snow sword, raised his head and said again: "Besides, if we clear out that place, we can also have a A place to stay is always warmer than going back to the camp and staying inside."

Yuan Lang and Teng Si looked at each other and agreed: "That's true..."

The words floated in the air with the walking figures, and soon the five of them walked to the Zhu family's courtyard. The door of this large house was open, and in the house facing it, there were figures moving around, crackling. Amidst the sound, someone seemed to be screaming. Just as they reached the steps of the house, a person flew towards Ma Xie who was leading the way.

The man's hand holding the gun moved, but he stretched out his free hand and pressed it violently one after another. With a sound of "ah", the man sat down on the ground, covered his buttocks and jumped up.

When he looked up to search, a figure flashed past the door.

"Who do you belong to? Why did you fly out?" Ma Jin, standing by the side, used the firelight outside to see clearly the figure. He was a man dressed as a soldier.

"Hiss..." Rubbing his buttocks, the man glanced at the people behind him and quickly turned around, baring his teeth and clasping his fists: "I am a subordinate of Commander Di. I just got into a fight with the people inside and was thrown out."

"Ha! Are there any remnants who dare to resist?" Ma Jin opened his eyes and looked into the house with interest, holding a torch and about to go in.

"Wait a minute." Li Zhu grabbed Ma Laoer and turned to ask the soldier: "How many people are there? Are any brothers killed in the battle?"

"The four of them are all people with good martial arts skills, and there is a beautiful young lady among them..." The man's head moved, with a strange expression on his face: "A group of us went in to eat him and beat him to the ground. Soldier The sword was captured by him, but no one was injured, and those few people seemed to be merciful."

"Isn't it too late to be merciful now?" Teng Si Diaojiao glared, and the three-pointed two-edged knife banged on the ground: "Where has the momentum gone when killing people earlier?"

The soldier opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, then closed it again. Li Assistant's eyebrows moved, and he walked over and patted the man on the shoulder: "What's going on? Is there anything else you want to say?"

"It's nothing." He scratched his hair, straightened his waist, pulled the injury on his butt, and quickly put down his hand to rub it again: "It's just that those four people said they were not from Zhujiazhuang, but were under house arrest by him and others. Here, I want us to let them go..."

"Isn't it possible that you killed someone and then started fighting?"

"That... is exactly..." He smiled sheepishly: "It's just that we couldn't wait until we beat him, so we suffered a big loss."

"You're still alive, aren't you?"

During the brief words, several people looked at each other. Li Assistant raised the corners of his mouth and narrowed his eyes: "It's interesting... let's go, I'll go and have a look."

This room is the front hall of the Zhu family. At this time, the sky is getting dark, and the already dim hall is even less bright. The moment Li Zhu and others stepped in, there were footsteps, and a black shadow came from the right with the sound of the howling wind. Attack.

Snapped--

The water-melted steel was erected, and the sound of sticks clashing sounded. Ma Jin walked into the door, and the firelight dispersed the darkness on the person, revealing an ugly face.

"What the hell!" Yuan Lang might as well be shocked when an ugly face appeared in front of him. He raised his feet and the figure flew out, hitting the table and chair behind him with a crash. He lay on the ground rolling and moaning while covering his injury.

"Scare me."

Yuan Lang breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the strange looks in Li Zhu and others' eyes, and blushed: "That face suddenly looked quite scary."

"Well...yes, yes..." Ma Xi agreed, then turned his head and shook his shoulders: "Pfft..."

Yuan Lang's face turned purple, but fortunately the light was not good enough so he couldn't see it: "I'll go kill him."

When he was about to go over with Gang Lao, Li Zhu grabbed his arm and said, "Don't worry yet." He glanced at the figure appearing in the light of the torch and said, "The real master has come out."

Amidst the sound of footsteps, Li Ying came out from the right with a sullen face, while Hu Sanniang and his sister appeared from the left. All three of them were carrying swords and guns in their hands.

Li Ying took a breath, put the gun aside, put on a smile, raised his hands to Li Assistant and said: "Little Li Ying, I have met brother Lu Bu in Liangshan, I am rude, I have offended Hu Wei, I hope you will forgive me. "

Li Zhu's smile faltered, he took a step to the side, waved his hand and said: "I am not my brother in front of you, so don't make mistakes. I am here, Li Zhu, to help my brother with some chores."

Li Ying's smile faded, and he put on another smile in an instant, and greeted him again: "I've seen Mr. Li, I'm just a clumsy person, I hope you can forgive me."

Li Zhu narrowed his eyes and didn't bother to correct him. He looked at the other three people and looked them up and down: "I heard from Mr. Shicai, how many of them are not from Zhujiazhuang?"

Hu Cheng looked at several people with a knife in his hand, walked nervously to help Du Xing up, and then helped him sit aside. Li Ying did not squint, and said respectfully: "But it is like this, the villain Li Ying, They are the boss of Lijiazhuang in the east, and the brothers and sisters here are the young boss of Hujiazhuang in the west village. They were kidnapped by Zhujiazhuang more than a month ago and imprisoned here. I hope you will be wise enough to let us go."

"Then these guys are quite pitiful. They have been detained for such a long time."

"But these people look pretty good, at least they're not hungry."

The whispers of Teng Si and Ma Xi came from behind, and Li Zhu didn't stop him. He just looked at the opposite side with a smile: "Just a prisoner here? You don't want any food, grass, or young men?"

The expressions of the four Li Ying and others changed, and the Flying Eagle said helplessly: "Life is in the hands of others, so you must be at the mercy of others."

"That's it." Li Assistant stroked his beard and took a few steps forward. He turned to the pillar in the hall, faced Li Ying, and said softly: "Many people died when I conquered this village in Liangshan. Please help them." He committed the murder first, injured my son and son later, and now he wants to pluck himself out at the touch of his tongue. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"

"No, I'll wait..."

"Manager Li, you can't..."

Li Ying and Hu Cheng were in a hurry and wanted to explain. Hu Sanniang, who had been silent behind Li Assistant, glanced at the people at the door and saw that they were all looking at Li Ying and his brother. Her almond eyes lit up and she raised her hand to grab it. He wielded a long knife and moved his long legs. He rushed behind Li Zhu in two or three steps and wanted to kidnap him.

choke--

The sword edge let out a soft groan, and the slender and bright sword body stopped in mid-air first. The shining sword edge was resting on Hu Sanniang's snow-white neck. Pressing it gently, a shallow dent appeared on the fair skin downwards. The shallow mark seemed to be able to be cut with a little more force.

"Little sister!" Hu Cheng screamed, holding the knife, he raised his foot and put it back.

Hu Sanniang tilted her head desperately and froze in place. The coldness of the sword's edge made all the hairs on her body stand up. After a while, she squeezed out a sentence through her teeth: "I'm fine."

Hu Cheng finally breathed out and just stood there nervously looking at Li Zhu, not knowing where to put his hands.

"Everyone is a little anxious." Li Zhu chuckled, looked at Hu Sanniang, then looked at the anxious Hu Cheng and the helpless Li Ying on the other side: "This is not the way to talk about things."

"This... my sister-in-law is rude. Please forgive me, manager. As long as you let her go, I will agree to whatever you say."

Li Ying on the side frowned, and looked away angrily from Hu Sanniang. Looking at Hu Cheng, his eyes fell silent, and the emotions in his heart were finally suppressed.

"Agree to everything?" Li Assistant held the sword with a steady hand. He turned to look at Hu Sanniang and looked her up and down. His narrowed eyes showed no signs of likes and dislikes: "Okay! Then let her serve my brother."

The sound echoing in the hall made everyone stunned. Yuan Lang raised his hand as if he wanted to say something, then put it down again. His eyes flickered, looking thoughtful, as if he had thought of something.

The elder brother was horrified: "How is this possible? My roommate is still a virgin, how can I do such a thing!"

Li Ying looked at Hu Cheng and his eyes twitched, thinking secretly that he was so smart that he was just feeding the dog?He reluctantly handed over his hand and said: "If the leader of your village needs anything, I have many contacts with several brothels and Chu houses in the town. The courtesans there are all Jieyuhua. I should be able to..."

"Don't make any mistake. Mr. Li is just telling you to wait. He is not negotiating terms with you."

Amidst the sound of words, there were sounds of footsteps outside. Some soldiers walked into the house holding torches. They didn't bother when they saw the situation in the house. They just stood aside holding torches. When everyone's eyes moved, a Khitan man in armor stepped forward. He came in, looked at the men and women in the hall and was startled: "Brother Li, what are you doing?"

Hu Sanniang moved and pressed her sword-holding arm: "Find me a bed warmer for my brother."

"Ho! I'm familiar with this!" The big Khitan man's eyes shone, he looked at the woman pointed at by the sword and nodded: "She looks good, and she will be a perfect match for Miss Wu."

"This leader, you can't..."

When Hu Cheng heard the two talking, he suddenly became anxious and hurriedly stepped forward to argue, but Xiao Haili kicked him to the ground.

"Brother!" Hu Sanniang screamed, ignoring the sword at her neck. The moment she stepped forward, Li Zhu had already moved the sword away, turned the sword around, and touched the hilt of the sword to his neck.

bang——

The long-legged woman passed out.

"Damn it." He took off his helmet and touched his bald head. Xiao Haili glanced helplessly at Feitianhu who was kicked down: "It turned out to be the leader's brother-in-law. He has offended many people."

He glanced at Li Ying on the side and grinned: "Who are you?"

Looking away, evil thoughts came to him.
