Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

The wind blows across the field.

The sergeants of Qingfeng Village raised their swords and guns and rushed forward. Taking advantage of his height and long legs, one of the ten generals ran and jumped up. He slashed Yu Cheng who broke into the crowd with a knife. The clear light of the knife flashed. The next moment, blood was in the air. The explosion exploded, and the fallen human body was divided into two parts. Amidst the screams of "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", the ten generals who fell to the ground stretched out their hands, crawled over and hugged their lower body, trying to press it on the waist again. .

"Who are you waiting for!" The instructor in white clothes was frightened and angry. He blocked him with a spear in his hand. He was beaten by two guards and couldn't help but retreat.

He originally thought that these people were just businessmen, and they were easy to capture. When Liu Zhizhai asked him to bring a group of people to arrest him, he still complained in his heart. It's a big insect nest.

In sight, this group of people were in groups of two or three. They were supporting each other while slashing with long knives. They were obviously used to fighting. There were soldiers from Qingfeng Village constantly being chopped down to the ground by long knives. , amidst wailing sounds, residual limbs and blood were scattered on the soil of the road.

Someone at the rear couldn't bear the situation anymore, so he shouted, threw away his weapon and ran away. When the instructor in white turned around, he saw the figure running away in despair. In the moment of distraction, the two people opposite him swung their swords fiercely. Slashing, the instructor could not block it, and his spear was immediately knocked away. In the shaking vision, a big foot kicked in the stomach.

"what!"

The figure flew backwards and fell to the ground. For a moment, he resisted the pain and tried to get up. A long knife was pressed against his skin on his neck, and a slippery liquid flowed onto his skin, giving off a smell of rust.

……

"Uh... ugh——"

Hua Baoyan looked at the fighting scene in front of her, smelling the stench of blood in her nose, her face couldn't help but look a little ugly, and some memories in her mind seemed to be awakened. When Yu Cheng cut the person in two with a knife, the colorful internal organs caught his eyes. , finally couldn't bear it anymore, turned around, bent down and vomited out.

Lu Bu stood aside and glanced sideways, sighed slightly, took the white towel he was carrying and handed it over: "Don't turn around for a while. Cover your mouth and nose with the towel and slow down your breathing."

The girl vomited a lot of tears and snot, and said: "Thank you, brother." She took the white towel and wiped her face hard.

Lu Bu shook his head and glanced at the soldiers of Qingfeng Village who had been defeated. He felt a little boring for some reason. Yu Cheng in front shook his long knife, and blood was scattered on the ground. The leader of the guard came over, picked up the instructor, and the rest Several guards who had captured them alive brought the people over, and some of the injured people were being treated with gold sore medicine.

"Brother, luckily you have lived up to your fate. Only three brothers were slightly injured." Yu Cheng said and threw the instructor, whose eyes widened suddenly as he listened to the words, to the ground.

"what--"

The instructor was face down, his chest hurt from the fall. He tried his best to hold his head up and showed a flattering smile: "I don't know which brother in the world is in front of me. The villain has eyes and cannot see Mount Tai. He is just ordered by the mountain, so he dare not not do it." , how offended."

"Yes, that's right, so am I. I beg this brother to have mercy on me."

"I have an eighty-year-old mother in my little family. Please spare my life, good man."

"Hero, please give me some medicine, I've been bleeding..."

The other prisoners listened to their instructor's speech and hurriedly talked nonsense, which made the boss Yu Cheng impatient and shouted: "Everyone has their mouths shut, why are you arguing!"

Several people suddenly fell silent.

Lu Bu took two steps forward, glanced around, and said calmly: "I have a question, please wait for the answer."

"Hey!"

"Yes."

Several people hurriedly nodded in agreement, fearing that they would be pulled out and chopped up for others to see if it was too late.

"Why are you chasing me? Whose order are you acting on?"

The calm tone was heard by everyone. Several captured Qingfeng Village generals quickly looked at the lying instructor over there, and Lu Bu took a step forward.

The man was lying there with his head lowered. After listening to Lu Bu's question, he felt the surroundings were silent. Suddenly, a pair of new shoes appeared in his eyes. He felt someone looking at his back. He quickly looked up and saw a group of people staring at him. Looking at himself, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He tried to force out a smile but couldn't, so he had to say: "It's Liu Gao and Liu Zhizhai who asked me to come and intercept you..." Looking at Lu Bu, the corner of his mouth twitched, slightly Twitching, his lips quivered and he said: "He said it's possible to live or die, but the villain is against it. It's not easy to live these days, hehe... it's not easy..."

Lu Bu squatted down, stared at him, and said slowly: "Why?"

"This……"

The instructor hesitated, not knowing whether he should speak or not. Later, when Yu Cheng saw that he didn't answer, he held the long knife upside down and stabbed it into the back of the thigh with a pop. He turned and pulled out his wrist, and his body was instantly torn, and blood flowed along the tear. Come out.

"Ah - I said...I said." He screamed while covering the wound. The man's forehead was instantly covered with sweat, his eyes were a little frightened, and he spoke quickly: "The villain is just clumsy, not intentional. Delay." Swallowing, sweat dripped down his forehead but he didn't dare to wipe it off: "Liu Zhi Village, no, Liu Gao, Liu Gao, that birdman said that Huazhi Village colluded with the three mountain thieves for evil intentions. The villain certainly doesn't believe this. Such nonsense, it’s just that he has already sent a letter to Magistrate Murong and asked us to come and capture the heroes, maybe it’s just to beat him up and make an iron confession.”

Lu Bu and the others suddenly had a strange look on their faces. Hua Baoyan couldn't help but turn around and open her eyes wide, listening to the man continue: "Everyone knows this, the villain is controlled by him, so he has to listen, and it offends the hero. Please forgive me." He turned around and couldn't help but look at the blood seeping out from the seam of his hands, and said with a sad face: "Everything the villain said is true, I hope the hero will be considerate, so I will treat the villain as a false compliment. Let it go."

Lu Bu stood up and ignored him. Hua Baoyan couldn't help but come over with a worried look on her face. She tugged on Lu Bu's sleeves and raised her face: "Brother..."

He couldn't help but reached out and patted Hua Xiaomei on the head. Lu Bu said calmly: "Don't worry." Looking at the instructor, he opened his mouth to say something, but closed it again, pursed his lips, and then said: "That's all, Yu Cheng, send the signal and have someone bring the horse."

With doubtful eyes, Hua Baoyan turned to the girl with a hint of teasing: "Now it seems that your eldest brother's official career is over."

The girl smiled unexpectedly: "With his temper, he will not be able to become an official sooner or later."

The lying instructor listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't help but swallow his saliva crazily, wondering what the two people meant by saying this? Is it possible that Liu Zhizhai is not making a false accusation?

Just when he was running out of ideas, he saw the young face named Yu Cheng gesturing to the side. Someone had picked up a lot of branches. He took out a black bag from his arms, opened it, poured out the powder, opened the fire bag, and blew two He leaned over and instantly ignited the flames.

After a while, a plume of thick smoke rose into the air, winding straight into the sky.

"Brother, these..." After sending the signal, Yu Cheng straightened up, motioned to Hua Baoyan from the corner of his eye, and quickly glanced in the direction of the prisoner without saying anything.

Lu Bu patted the girl's shoulder directly: "The sun is a little bright here. Let's go sit down in the forest with a certain person and wait for the horse to come."

"Oh..." Hua Baoyan responded first, took two steps and seemed to think of something, turned around and took a look, then quickly turned back and followed the figure in front of her into the forest. At this time, the sun was shining, passing through the gaps in the leaves and shining on the ground, outlining a mottled picture of light and shadow. The girl walking behind looked up at the broad back in front of her, turned her head to look outside, and then looked ahead. Repeatedly, he finally couldn't help but said: "Brother, those people outside..."

The advancing figure paused for a moment, turned around and said calmly: "Of course I have to deal with it."

Hua Baoyan was silent for a moment and did not speak. Lu Bu came over, put his hand on her head, and bent down slightly: "If you don't like these, don't be interested in the world of martial arts or battles in the future."

He paused and straightened up. The light emerging from the gaps in the leaves made him squint his eyes slightly. He raised his face to let the beam of light pass and said: "There are many ways to live in this world. Since you don't like it, you might as well change your way of living." alright."

"Then brother..." The girl slowly raised her head and looked along the outstretched arm on the opposite side: "Do you like the way you are living now?"

"Like it?" he repeated in his mouth, and there was a vague scream in his ears. Lu Bu looked outside: "Someone just..." He took a breath and exhaled: "Maybe he is unwilling..."

Under the skylight, a figure was sheathing the knife.

Hua Baoyan tilted her head in confusion, and suddenly heard a roaring sound coming from outside. Lu Bu retracted his arm, turned around and walked outside. The girl pinched the hem of her clothes with her fingers, raised her head and followed the lead.

After a while, the roaring sound stopped, and someone was getting on the horse. On the horse's back, which was like charcoal fire, a majestic figure took the Fangtian painted halberd handed by others and hung it on the victory hook.

"Walk--"

"drive--"

The horse's hooves moved, and the roaring sound of the hooves sounded here.

……

The sun was climbing high in the sky, the weather was a bit hot, the bustling sounds in the mansion were no longer, and there was a feeling of loneliness for a while. Hua Rong sat alone in the study, holding a family heirloom bow in his hand and taking care of it slowly.

"Know the village, know the village!"

Someone ran in from outside, shouting from afar. Hua Rong put down his bow in confusion, opened the study door and walked out. He saw a sergeant standing there at the door of the backyard, wiping sweat.

"What happened? Why are you shouting so much?"

The sergeant wiped his face and gasped: "Zhizhai, there are dozens of riders coming outside. The young one seems to be the young lady and the guests who were sent away this morning. I was afraid that there would be a problem, so I came first and only said one word."

Hua Rong was stunned. Before she could react, she heard the sound of footsteps. A group of people walked over from the gate. At the forefront was Lu Bu and his little sister who had just sent away this morning. They said, "You go down first." .”

Seeing the sergeant walking out, he quickly stepped forward to greet him: "Brother, why did you come back here again, but you forgot something?"

"Brother, something bad is going on." Hua Baoyan called out, and quickly stepped forward to hold Hua Rong, chirping: "That guy Liu Gao falsely accused my eldest brother of colluding with the three bandits to attack Qingfeng Village, and he has already gone to Xinzhou Prefecture at this time. Zhemo wants to take you."

"Wait a minute." Hua Rong frowned when he heard this, and quickly stopped his sister: "What's going on? Why can't I hear it like a cloud and a mountain covered with mist."

"Oh, brother, you are so stupid, you can't even understand this."

Hua Baoyan stamped her feet anxiously. Lu Bu looked at the sergeant who was about to walk out of the yard and said, "Let's go to a quiet place first."

Hua Rong realized this and hurriedly moved people into the room. Lu Bu looked at Yu Cheng. The leader of the guard took a step forward and just told the story of today's separation.

Snapped--

Hua Rong slapped his palms on the armrest of the chair hard. Hua Rong's face turned red and his eyebrows stood up: "Liu Gao, a scumbag, has gone too far to bully others!"

He stood up and walked to Lu Bu and bowed down and said, "It's Hua Rong's fault that my brother is in danger because of my little brother." Looking at Hua Baoyan who was a little anxious on the side, he said, "I would also like to thank my brother for keeping my little sister safe. From now on, Hua Rong is willing to follow his brother through water and fire, and he will never regret it."

Lu Bu stood up, first picked up Hua Rong, looked at him and said, "Since there is nothing wrong with me, there is still hope for this matter. I just need to explain it clearly to the prefect later. In this way, my dear brother must also give up this official position." A certain way?"

Hua Rong gritted his teeth and said, "My brother doesn't know that Murong Yanda is also a greedy and ruthless person. Since Liu Gao wrote to him, he will definitely give him a lot of money. At this time, the younger brother has definitely colluded with the gangsters." .”

He glanced at the hall angrily: "My little brother turned out to be a bloody man. I just spent money to buy this official because of my father's last wish. Unexpectedly, when I first came here, I was suppressed in every possible way. I just wanted to do something for my family." I endured it, but who would have thought that I would be tortured to death even if I had to wait for him to do the work for the big turban, and the clay figurine is still very angry, how can I still sit still and not rebel?!"

Lu Bu saw him trembling slightly and patted his arm: "Don't get excited. You and I are just petty officials. If you give up, just give up."

"Brother is right." Hua Rong took a deep breath, calmed down, and clasped his fists and said, "I hope my brother can lend me some brothers." His handsome face was full of hatred: "I want to kill Liu Gao with my own hands. !”

The tone was solemn and the steel teeth were clenched.

……

It was almost dinner time, and Liu Gao and his wife were sipping fragrant tea in the house. The woman was pruning the potted plants again and again, and said at the same time: "My lord, there are many fewer people buying rice and noodles in the shop today. I am sorry." I asked someone and found out that there is a new rice shop in Beizhai, and the prices are much cheaper than ours. If this continues, if no one comes to buy rice and noodles, the family will be in trouble."

"Madam, don't worry." Liu Gao stroked his beard and said, "My husband knows about this matter. I will send someone to tell the merchant to come tomorrow. If you are interested, then let him know. But there is a word. I know that he will be locked up in the village for three years and five years." Zai will naturally be honest."

"Hmm." Madam Liu was about to cut a branch with scissors, when suddenly a scream came out, her hand shook, and she cut in the wrong place with a click. The woman immediately smashed the scissors on the table: "Who is like this?" It’s so noisy that you don’t want to live anymore, right?”

There was a loud noise outside, and faint howls could be heard. Liu Gao and his wife looked at each other and felt that something was wrong. They stood up and wanted to go out, when they heard a bang and someone opened the door. He kicked his feet away, and the person who walked in was wearing a white shirt, which was speckled with blood.

"Hua Rong?!" (End of this chapter)
