Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

The sun jumped out of the clouds, and the golden light faded away the ink color. Whiteness and lead color coexisted on the clouds at the same time. Gradually, only the pure whiteness was left, and the air gradually became a little warm.

In the Sujiazhuang, noisy and noisy sounds could be heard, and soon there were sounds of crying and howling: "Master Jun, Master Jun, take this cart away and leave the donkey for me."

"That's my food reserve for the winter. You can't take it!"

"Let it go, mother-in-law. You and others are all dealers in the suspect's home. If you interfere with official duties again, you will be treated as an accessory."

The cursing figure walked away while wailing loudly. The sergeant in scarlet clothes carried sacks on his back and drove a donkey cart towards the entrance of the village.

The inspector of the Inspection Department, with his arms folded, looked at everything in front of him expressionlessly. When he saw more and more sergeants, he turned to the officers and soldiers beside him and said to the commander: "It's time to set off. I missed the prefect." The deadline set by your husband, be careful how you wait."

"How come I don't know that the prefect has a set time limit." The commander sneered, and then said with an exaggerated expression: "Oh - I forgot, you have to wait for the inspection department to arrest the prisoner within a time limit. If you are in a hurry, you can leave first and confiscate the property. The records have been made, and I will transport the money and food back."

"You..." the patrol inspector glared at him, but he couldn't just walk away, and snorted: "The raid was on Su's house. It was finished yesterday. Now you are taking away the money and food of these villagers and bankers. How can this be justified?"

"Why are you ignoring him? It's his crime to hide and not report, to be attached to the thieves." The commander said angrily: "Besides, I, the soldiers, are not as comfortable as you, the inspector, and there are people rushing to give you property. You guys, it’s a pity that the brothers below have few connections, so the rewards are small, and the military pay they receive is not enough, so they have to go on the road with so much wealth..."

He tilted his head and squinted his eyes to look at him: "If they were snatched away, it is very possible."

"You bastard..." the inspector gritted his teeth and looked at him: "Are you threatening me?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare." The commander shrugged lazily: "I'm just telling the truth."

The inspector stared at him angrily and pressed the knife on his waist downwards: "We will set off in half an hour. I will truthfully report to the magistrate what you did today."

After that, he didn't bother to look at this person anymore, turned around and left.

"Whatever~"

The commander curled his lips and sneered in his heart. Something went wrong yesterday. He would probably no longer be the commander. Wouldn't he be stupid if he didn't take the opportunity to make some money?

He turned around and shouted to the sergeant: "Hurry up, we will return to the city in half an hour."

The sound of cheers suddenly sounded, and no one noticed that a figure flashed in the forest not far away.

……

rustle--

The soles of the shoes stepped on the lush green grass, and the running figure's face was covered with sweat. He walked through the woods all the way, said hello to the person squatting here, and trotted to Lu Bu and whispered in a low voice.

"Half an hour? Why does it take so long?" Lu Bu raised his head slightly and looked at the sky: "But he still needs breakfast?"

The man shook his head: "When I went there, I saw him plundering villagers and dealers. Someone shouted that they would set off in half an hour. Maybe it will take some time to plunder them all."

"Straight bitch! These gangsters!" Su Yi, who followed, slapped the tree trunk next to him: "It is unreasonable to do other people's business with my family's affairs."

Lu Bu glanced at the young man and said nothing. It is not difficult to understand this kind of thing. Back then, Cao was still massacring the city in Xuzhou. What this group of Song soldiers did at this time was nothing more than not to destroy Sujiazhuang. It is common for people to treat themselves as their own people, robbing others to strengthen themselves.

"Then let us know, everyone should rest first, and the scouts should be sent far away. Wait for this group of Song troops to come over and attack them halfway."

Lu Bu gave a casual order, and immediately a soldier carrying the order ran to the side.

Seeing this, Su Jinniang felt a little embarrassed and said, "I have to trouble my brother to run around for my family's affairs. My little sister is very grateful."

"This is what it should be." Lu Bu smiled and said, "Don't say that your parents want to send grain and grass to the village. As a member of the village, you cannot just watch people take away your family's money and grain."

Su Jinniang didn't know what she heard. She lowered her head shyly, but she didn't look at her brother who looked at her with a peach blossom face as if she had seen a ghost.

"Everyone has a rest first." The figure who gave the order first found a clean ground to sit down: "There will be a war soon."

Several people here quickly agreed. Hu Sanniang found a place to sit close to Lu Bu. The peach girl over there thought for a while and followed her, sitting next to Hu Sanniang. Only Su Liang was left looking at the hanging man opposite him with a corner of his mouth twitching. The second sister, holding one arm and trying her best to swing her legs side by side like a lady, muttered to herself: You are all here to kill people and ambush the officers and soldiers. Who can you hide with your behavior like this?

He glanced at Lu Bu: My brother's vision is not that bad, right? A cruel person like the second sister is not a good match...

Not to mention that the people from Liangshan were waiting here, the officers and soldiers were finally ready to go. A vehicle was hitched with livestock, and sergeants holding swords were standing casually aside. Some people had their crimson uniforms open, and big beads of sweat were running down their chests. Slide down.

"Let's go!"

The inspector in front roared, kicked the horse in the belly and moved forward. The people from the inspection department in the rear quickly followed. The commander waved his arms feebly, and then led the people to follow the front.

At this time, the sun has risen, and the huge sun is hanging in the sky trying to spread its enthusiasm. The sound of insects buzzing around is gradually becoming noisy.

Wheels--

The wheels rolled over the bumpy dirt road, but the scorching sun was scorching. Many sergeants, detectives and others tore open their neck collars in heat. Some generals in leather armor even took off their collars and threw them to the side of the car. The rear did not like the heavy drag of their weapons. Seeing this, the sergeants threw their swords and guns onto the cart one after another and let the mules and carriages carry them, while they themselves lowered their heads and moved forward.

The road back to the city was not far or close, but it was within the city limits. This group of people thought that there was no danger, so they simply did not distinguish between the front and rear armies, and marched together. However, the commander who was patrolling the rear was disgusted with the leader, so he simply With one to two hundred people from the Inspection Department in front, the commander was happy to follow him without being an eyesore, and simply trailed behind and swayed slowly on his horse.

There was nothing unusual about the journey with such peace of mind, even the surroundings were silent.

The inspector frowned and looked around on the horse. He was dressed meticulously. The leather armor he wore was baked by the sun and smelled of leather. He only took off the helmet on his head. The sun Under the irradiation, the sweat on both sides of the temples flowed down like streams.

"Inspection, please take off your leather armor. It's a good idea to show off your clothes in the hot weather."

"You can't take it off." The inspector glanced at the speaker and saw that he was almost shirtless. He couldn't help but frown: "Even if you don't want to think about your armor, you should put on your clothes."

Na Dutou smiled bitterly: "Inspection, the sun is as big as the ground and is scorching me. The clothes are only half washed with water. They stick to the body and are uncomfortable. I will put them on when I get closer to the city."

The inspector shook his head helplessly and heard another mutter: "The sun is so poisonous that even the birds don't bother to sing."

"What do you mean?" The patrol inspector on the horse turned his head sharply, startling Na Na. He looked at the patrol inspector cautiously and said, "This forest is so quiet, not even the birds..."

His pupils suddenly shrank, and before he could shout out, he heard a bang and countless figures rushed out of the forest.

"Yes - uh..."

Fang Yao yelled loudly, and an arrow flew towards him with a sound of piercing the air. With a pop, it penetrated into the inspector's neck from the side and rear, and immediately shot back the words behind him, causing the dead body to fall to the ground with a bang.

"Come with me!"

Lu Bu put away the bow in his hand, picked up Feng Hui's broadsword, kicked the horse's belly with both legs, and led everyone towards the rear convoy. The officers and soldiers did not recover for a moment, and the bandits who were killed immediately cut the team into pieces. In both halves, sporadic arrows flew out of the dense forest.

"Don't mess around! Stop them quickly!"

The commander at the rear was shocked. Looking at the figure rushing out, his mind was immediately confused. He reflexively shouted to his men to rein in their horses and walk back. The sergeants next to him suddenly panicked. Some people rushed towards the car. While running to retrieve the weapon, most of the people had a look of panic on their faces, and noisy voices rang out in a hurry. Some generals gave orders to defend, while others turned around and ran away with the commander without saying a word, one after another. The figure suddenly became at a loss.

"Form up, quickly form up -"

"The horse's head is dead——"

Ahead, the figure leading the way is clearly visible, the sword held high in his hand reflecting the light, dazzling——

"die!"

The light of the slashing sword flashed across the body, and half of the body with the head flew up diagonally. Blood disappeared from the restraints of the human body and soared into the sky. A nauseating stench filled the air.

"Damn it! You're a loser, hurry up and stop him!"

The commander turned around to take a look, and was so shocked that his hair stood on end. His martial arts skills were ordinary, not to mention cutting a person in half with force on a horse, and even hitting a stake with a sword on horseback. It was rare. How could he dare to turn around and challenge Lu Bu? , beating the horses until they were dead and running.

The majestic figure casts a shadow on the horse, and the monotonous hoofs of the horse seem to vibrate the air, "Hold on--" Someone in the army is shouting for birth, and the panicked figure doesn't know which leg to take, holding a gun, stupidly Stand still.

The sun was shining straight down, and Feng Hui's good horse, the figure wearing a golden crown on its head, was like a hot knife cutting into butter, swiping left and right, and countless heads flew up, and blood from the sky was sprinkled on the faces of others. Amidst the screams, He was hacked to the ground by Hu Sanniang and Yu Cheng who were following Lu Bu on both sides.

"You idiots, if we don't surrender now, how can we wait?"

Amidst the loud shouts, the horse's hooves stepped down violently, stepping on the human body whose legs were weak and fell to the ground. Amidst the screams, he used his arms hard and swiped the broadsword horizontally. With a loud bang, a general on horseback was knocked away. When he got out, he fell to the ground like a piece of tatters and rolled around. When he stopped, his body twitched slightly.

"Stop fighting, I'm waiting for you to surrender!"

"I'm willing to surrender, I'm willing to surrender, but don't kill me."

In fear, groups of sergeants knelt down one after another, either shirtless or disheveled, and kept kowtowing. Lu Bu reined in his mount, glanced at the horses that had run away, showing disdain, and then sat down with his sword in hand. I didn’t know what to think immediately.

"This is the end?"

Su Yi held up the bleeding Fang Tianhua halberd and looked at the sergeant who was kneeling on the ground. He looked a little surprised. He glanced around twice and murmured: "Such a coward? Then I ran very far last night. If I had known better, I would have put these things away." Everyone was beaten to death...ah! Second sister, what are you doing!"

The third son of the Su family bared his teeth and covered his back with his backhand, turning to look at the approaching Qian Ying.

"Bullshit!" Su Jinniang whispered as she approached her brother. She was hanging in one hand and holding a throwing spear in the other. When she heard this, she slapped him with the spear shaft: "If you fought to the death yesterday, I'm afraid I won't see you today. It’s your corpse.”

After saying that, he kicked his horse and leaned towards Lu Bu.

"You are looking down on people!" Su Yi muttered, looking at his elder sister who was sitting quietly on the horse in front of him. He touched his nose. The emotion in his heart was hard to describe. He secretly thought that he should talk to his parents and elder brother when he went back. Especially the second sister. You like your brother, right?

The chaotic sounds all around gradually stopped. In sight, there were mostly figures kneeling on the ground, and many figures disappeared at both ends of the road. The successful people whistled wildly, escorted the prisoners, and drove their horses and horses away. .

……

The sunlight gradually weakened, the forest swayed in the wind, and the simple camp welcomed many people. The people driving the vehicles loudly greeted their companions guarding the camp.

He was smiling happily. Many people reached out to pat the mules and horses on their butts, and some smiled excitedly at the vehicles pulled by the cattle. Jiang Jing was busy with his feet on the ground at this time, holding an account book in his hand and writing non-stop. As he stood, he said something from time to time, and Yang Minwei beside him immediately recorded it.

During the busy process, groups of prisoners were pressed into the open space behind, and a few generals with some weight were pressed into the tents on the side.

"Brother Li?! Why were you born here?"

The people who entered the camp looked at the rice dumpling-like figure in disbelief: "Aren't you a thief? Why are you still tied up?"

"Fart! Who is a thief?" Zhao Li raised his eyebrows and glared at the speaker: "A thief can tie me up like this?"

"Brother Li, don't be anxious." Someone looked at him as if he had guessed something: "I'm afraid it was the commander's trick. In the official sea arrest document issued, you were a suspect who assisted the thieves in killing the rice field officials. "

With Zhao Li's eyes widening, the man continued: "The arrest warrant has been issued, and a reward of three thousand gu will be placed on you, whether you live or die."

"I..." Zhao Li's face changed drastically, and his eyes went dark. He closed his eyes to calm his mind, and then opened his eyes and said, "I was recruited into the army because of my martial arts. It has been more than a year. Not to mention helping thieves. I dare say that I have never done anything against discipline, so why did that guy arrange it for me like this? Isn't this setting me up for death?"

The people who were being escorted in looked at each other and sighed: "Even if he wants to put you to death, he is used to suppressing capable people and ostracizing people who are not close to him. What he did is not the same as your past." It has something to do with her unwillingness to surrender to him."

"I am a soldier in the army, and he is my superior. Why should I vote or not?" Zhao Li looked at the colleague who spoke in surprise.

There was an unspeakable expression on the other side: "It's different... it's different."

Zhao Li was speechless. For a moment, everyone in the tent lost interest in talking. (End of chapter)
