Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

When Lu Zhishen got up, Bian Xiang and Du Bo had already had their breakfast. The fat monk was in a good mood and hurriedly ate two bowls of porridge, nibbled on a few pancakes with pickles, and walked into the hall with a smile on his face. .

"You two are up. Yesterday was really refreshing. It has been a long time since the Sa family drank with so many people like yesterday." He stretched out his hand and pulled up a chair and sat down next to the two of them: "In the past, there were only two brothers Yang Zhi and the Sa family in this mountain. It’s not fun to drink wine either.”

"Senior brother is quite free and easy." Bian Xiang looked at Lu Zhishen and laughed.

The flower monk touched his shiny forehead and said, "In the past few decades of my life, I have to eat and drink when I should, and kill people when I should. The Sa family lives for the sake of convenience."

Du Bo looked at him and said as if he had something to say: "But I feel that everything is fate, and I can't control it at all."

"Destiny is determined by God, and people live for themselves." Lu Zhishen patted his belly and made a crisp sound: "You make your own destiny, and fate comes naturally."

The two people opposite looked at the monk in surprise. Lu Zhishen grinned: "Don't look at the Sa family like this. This is what the old monk said to the Sa family in Wutai Mountain in the past. It's just that he talked a lot, and the Sa family will remember it." I share these two sentences with you today."

Bian Xiang laughed loudly, while Du Bo was thoughtful. The flower monk looked at the busy figures outside: "You two brothers plan to go down the mountain today? Then tell the Sa family to clean up quickly."

As he spoke, he stood up.

"Senior Brother, you are not busy." Bian Xiang held down his arm, looked at Du Bo, and then said to Monk Hua: "I just discussed with Brother Du and wanted to keep this village in Qingzhou, so I sent people to Qingfeng Village Please ask my brother for instructions. It won’t be too late to deal with it when people come back.”

"Oh?" Lu Zhishen raised his thick eyebrows: "Then the relationship is good, the Erlong Mountain is a good location, and the Sa family also feels it is a pity to abandon it. Shiting, a capable soldier in Qingzhou, has gone to Bating, and there are only three or two kittens left. There's not much that can be done... Huh? Yesterday, I was only focused on being happy, but I forgot to ask, how is Qin Ming, the Sa family's old rival?"

Bian Xiang looked at the person sitting next to him and nodded at him with a smile: "I met Brother Du yesterday and was knocked off his horse by a spear."

"Dare you die?"

"That's not true." Du Bu shook his head: "That man had some courage and avoided the vital points, but he was seriously injured. He is now in the prisoner camp." Looking at the fat monk in front of him: "Senior brother, I want to see him Him? It just so happens that the brothers at the foot of the mountain should change their defenses and rest for a while, so we can go together."

Lu Zhishen wanted to say no, but then he thought about how he and Qin Ming had been meeting each other every day for more than half a month, and they could be regarded as "acquaintances". Now he was at the foot of the mountain, so why not go down and have a look, just to stretch his body? Then he said: "Then let's go down and have a look."

Bian Xiang was doing nothing. He wanted to go down the mountain to take a look at the terrain. One more Hua Monk was not too much, while Du Bo had nothing to do. The mission of the Ma Army was completed the moment they attacked the mountain. At this time, it was It’s about taking as much leisure as you want, whether it’s a wander around the mountains or down the mountains.

At that moment, Bian Xiang ordered the two battalions of Wen Zhongrong and Bai Sen to go down. He could replace Ma Jun and Cui Yebu and go up the mountain to rest. The camp was at the foot of the mountain. After entering the camp, Bian Xiang immediately led Wen and Bai into the Chinese army's tent.

Lu Zhishen was impatient and did not enter the tent. When he saw Cui Ye, he said, "Brother, you are polite. Where is Qin Ming's fellow?"

"Senior brother, who are you looking for?" Cui Ye smiled, stretched out his hand to summon a soldier and said, "You lead the way to the prisoner camp."

As soon as he lowered his hand, Bian Xiang's voice came from inside the tent: "Brother Cui, come over here and hand over the defense."

"Here we come." Cui Ye responded, and quickly ran over to Lu Zhishen with an apologetic smile.

The flower monk also knew that he was busy at this time, so he didn't take it seriously. He raised his legs and was about to leave. Du Bo, who was next to him, quickly grabbed him and said, "Senior brother, wait a minute. You still need a token to go to the prisoner camp."

Taking out a wooden sign and stuffing it into Lu Zhishen's hand, the great monk smacked his lips with the black-painted token: "The Sa family really feels like they have returned to the military camp now. I don't blame you for making such a big fuss on Jingdong Road. ." After thanking him, he strode away with the village soldiers.

The prisoner camp is located further back on the right side of the camp, facing the direction of the Erlong Mountain pass. There are two people guarding here with spears and bows, while the horse army has set up camp beside the infantry camp. The corner of the chair.

When the monk walked in, the prisoners had just eaten some rice, which consisted of rice porridge with a light soup and hard cooking cakes. At this time, each and every one of them was watching the people pass by in front of them.

However, although Qin Ming and Huang Xin were injured, they were still detained separately. Qin Ming was lying on a simple bed with his eyes closed to recuperate when he heard the sound of footsteps. Then he opened his eyes and saw that Zhang He, who had been bald for more than half a month, was looking up and down at his injuries.

Lu Zhishen chuckled: "Qin Tongzhi seems to be seriously injured."

Qin Ming narrowed his eyes: "You bald donkey..."

After Bian Xiang arranged the handover, he asked the two of them to keep an eye on the prisoners, and then he and Du Bo took the people around for a while and checked the terrain before returning to the camp together.

As soon as they entered the camp, the two leading men saw the flower monk with an angry look on his face, circling with his hands behind his back, muttering something as he walked. They looked at each other, Bian Xiang walked over and said, "Why are you walking around here, senior brother?" , but who has offended you without opening your eyes?"

"Where are there so many people?" Lu Zhishen turned to look at the two men and threw down his sleeves: "Just now, Sajia went to find Qin Ming. Seeing that he was defeated and his life was probably in danger, he kindly invited him to come to the mountain to be popular. You drink spicy food, but you don’t know that this guy is stupid, he will definitely become a ghost of the imperial court, and I want him to be killed quickly, which will make the whole family angry."

"Senior brother, please don't be impatient. Let's calm down." Bian Xiang shook his head helplessly: "This man will definitely not be willing to be defeated. We'll talk about it after a while after we escort him up the mountain."

"I have no choice but to give up." Lu Zhishen nodded angrily, then touched his shiny head unhappily: "If Sajia hadn't seen him as a man and knelt down to beg Sajia, Sajia wouldn't have bothered to look at him." After a pause, he turned around and said. : "But now it's time to gather his sergeants together to avoid causing trouble."

Du Bo chuckled, clapped his hands and said, "Senior brother, please be at ease. Yesterday they were hungry all night, and today they only had half full food. I just ordered them to go down, and someone will go and recruit the soldiers."

Lu Zhishen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, moved his nose, inhaled the aroma in the air, and suddenly said: "Sajia said that someone was cooking meat before dinner time, it turned out to be Xidi."

Bian and Du looked at each other and then smiled: "Senior brother, we need help later to make some space on the mountain to accommodate the new recruits."

"It's easy to talk about this." The broad monk's robe waved: "Leave it to the Sa family."

……

The sky was gloomy and drizzle was floating. Outside Yidu City, the team from Qingfeng Village hurriedly walked. Finally, they entered the gate just before it closed at dark. The middle-aged man in the lead hesitated for a moment and shook the money he had accumulated on his raincoat. Shuizhu then led everyone forward.

Xu was familiar with the layout of the city. He turned left and right to the door of an imposing mansion and looked at the word "Murong" on the door plaque. The man took a deep breath and walked up to knock on the door.

squeak-

A head stuck out from the slightly opened door. He looked the middle-aged man in his eyes up and down and said rather rudely, "Who are you? Why are you here at night?"

The middle-aged man first smiled and handed over his hands: "I'd like to inform you that Liu Zhizhai of Qingfeng Village has important documents to submit." He took out a black bag from his sleeve and stuffed it quietly: "The matter is quite urgent, please excuse me."

The concierge weighed it lightly, his eyes lit up, and he looked out to see the team escorting two cars outside. He raised his head and nodded over there, looking askance at him: "What is that for?"

"Oh, Liu Zhizhai knows that the prefect is loyal to the country and works hard day and night on state affairs, so he gives some relief things to relieve the fatigue." The porter nodded: "He is a talker. It's easy to talk with these. Wait. .”

"Excuse me!"

Before he lowered his arched hand, the door closed with a bang. After waiting for a while, it opened again and a voice came out: "Go to the back door for the car, come in."

It's getting dark.

……

At the same time, Qingfeng Village.

When the sun turns the sky red, the noisy market becomes quiet. Only people who are out for fun are walking arm-in-arm towards the Goulan tile house. From time to time, there are voices saying hello, and then words inviting people to have a drink. Word spread that there was one more person going to Goulan.

There was a figure squatting at the entrance of the alley, holding the purchased dry food in his hand and gnawing on the cold water, while his eyes were staring at the flower house diagonally opposite.

"It's been three or four days since I got married, how come I didn't know there was no movement in the village." The squatting man gnawed on the dry food and said a little indignantly: "I'm tired of eating this every day."

"Be patient, Zhizhai said he was going to move this guy, maybe he is waiting for the opportunity." Someone replied from behind: "It would be good to eat some. You are talking too much, give me some water, I will choke to death."

The squatting man handed over the water bag, still complaining: "It's not that I'm too busy, that man surnamed Hua takes his sister and those strange faces out hunting every day, and he can smell barbecue every day. The taste..." Then he pointed at the two people walking away with their shoulders crossed: "There are also these dirty things waiting to eat flower wine, who is waiting here and is not in a hurry?"

He put his hand down angrily: "Look at Zhizhai again, the man who is in love may be holding his beautiful wife and making out with her, but you and I are unlucky."

"Come on, I can't even keep my mouth shut when I eat." The person behind kicked her, and then laughed: "But Mrs. Zhizhai is indeed beautiful, tsk tsk, that figure, that skin..."

"Hehe -" the person in front turned back: "The bear is also very big..."

It was also too boring. The two guys who were talking about women were talking passionately for a while. They didn't even watch the tall and strong young man Shi Shiran come out. They just looked at the man in confusion as he walked into the Hua Mansion and asked each other why. came out at the time.

"Brother Yu is back, come and sit down, the deer legs are just roasted." Cui greeted Yu Cheng who came in with a smile, and used a knife to slice off a large piece of meat from the roasted golden deer legs.

Yu Cheng looked at Lu Bu.

"I'll let you sit down." Lu Bu smiled. Except for the day he first arrived, Yu Cheng had also gotten to know the three of the Hua family in the past two days. Hua Rong and his wife also liked this polite young man.

Yu Cheng thanked him, moved a stool and placed it next to Lu Bu. Without sitting down, he leaned over and said, "Brother, there is news from Erlong Mountain..."

The three people from the Hua family stopped their hands, and Lu Bu waved his hand: "Just tell me, we are not outsiders, so I don't have to say it again."

Yu Cheng glanced over there and saw little Li Guang reaching out to touch the cup with a sigh on his face. Ms. Cui was looking at Hua Rong. Hua Baoyan straightened up with joy. After thinking about it for a moment, she said: "The strongman who used to occupy the mountain over there was Lin Chong's sworn brother. Now he has joined the group. Brother Bian Xiang and Brother Du Bo proposed to keep the stronghold, saying it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Qingzhou has been crippled by us again, so it might as well be used as a Separate the stronghold and nail it here."

"Oh, that's a good thing..." Lu Bu stretched out his hand to take the piece of meat from Cui's slice, motioned Yu Cheng to sit down, took the meat and put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and said after a while: "That's all, it seems like a lazy day should be spent. it's over."

He looked up at the three members of the Hua family and joked: "I'm a lazy person who wanted to spend a few more days here to make clothes for his hands and food to open his mouth, but it seems he doesn't have that blessing."

Hua Rong saw this and said quickly: "Brother, if you are willing, you can change your mind later."

"I'm afraid I won't have time to spare. I'll be busy with some things later on, so Zhemo will go back to the mountain directly."

On the side, Hua Baoyan bit the end of her chopsticks and listened to the two people talking. She rolled her eyes, put down her chopsticks and said to Hua Rong, "Brother, I also want to visit Erlong Mountain."

Hua Rong frowned, and Lu Bu waved his hand: "Whatever they do there, they are just rough guys, and they don't have much to see."

"I can pretend to be a man!" Hua Baoyan raised her little face.

Lu Bu suddenly became happy: "Aren't everyone else blind? If you change your clothes, you won't be able to tell that you are a girl? Besides, your elder brother won't agree." He glanced at Hua Rong with a smile on his face. .

Hua Bao immediately turned to look at Hua Rong and said coquettishly: "Brother,~"

Xiao Li Guang looked at Lu Bu, then at Cui, who was smiling, and then turned to look at his sister. He thought about something and nodded, "You can go if you want."

"Big brother is the best!"

Hua Baoyan cheered immediately, which caught Lu Bu off guard. He looked at Hua Rong with a pair of tiger eyes full of questions. Then Xiao Li Guang said with a smile: "My little sister is always curious about the world. I can't say there will be trouble in the future. It's safest to stay with your brother. If you feel troubled, just show her."

"That's all, let's go together then." Lu Bu smiled bitterly and looked at Hua Baoyan: "I just said yes, don't run around."

The girl patted her slightly heaving chest: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely be obedient."

Hua Rong picked up the wine glass: "When is brother going to leave?"

"Let's go early tomorrow morning." Lu Bu thought for a while: "It's not too hot to leave early."

"A toast to Hua Rong."

……

"Is Hua Rong really colluding with Liang Shan?"

In the reception hall, Murong Yanda looked at the middle-aged man standing with his eyes wide open. The man nodded, stretched out his hand and took out a letter and presented it with both hands: "This is written by the Zhizhai himself. Please ask the Magistrate. Take a look."

The prefect of Qingzhou reached out and took it, read it word by word, and relaxed: "The prefect knows that since Hua Rong has colluded with the thief, it is natural that he should be arrested. Go back, the prefect will make his own arrangements tomorrow. "

"Yes." (End of chapter)
