Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Several birds were standing on the treetops preening their feathers, then suddenly fluttered their wings and flew away. Soon, the sound of heavy objects being dragged on the mountain path came, and the voices of voices gradually became faintly audible.

"So you're a private trader." Hua Baoyan tilted her head and looked at the boy in surprise.

"Yes, I am also forced to have no choice. The Chai family is coming fiercely and relies on Liangshan. Jingdong and Hebei are all in their hands. I have to find customers they don't want to sell to." Dragging the pig leg hard, Xu Wen blushed and turned away, shrugging: "It's just that I was unlucky. I was the first to find Peach Blossom Mountain, but I didn't expect that the village there was burned to the ground. Then I turned to Erlong Mountain, thinking of finding Deng Long as a Buy and sell.”

"That's it..." Hua Baoyan's eyes were a little weird, and the girl stretched out her hand to make a gesture between her neck: "Then you... are indeed unlucky. Deng Long was killed by the Lu family brother for some time." Some curious Looking at the young man beside him: "What are you going to do next?"

Xu Wen glanced at Hua Baoyan's fair neck, turned away with a blushing face, and said somewhat unnaturally: "Xu Wen has a gracious request. I would like your brothers and sisters to help introduce the owner of the cottage. I would be very grateful. "

After finishing speaking, the young man tilted his head slightly, as if he had forgotten something.

Hua Rong walked aside expressionlessly, tugging hard with his hands, not knowing what was going on in his heart. Hearing what he said, he glanced at him and said, "But, little sister, I can't repay you for saving me today. I'll take you with me." It’s also good to meet my brother.”

"Thank you, Brother Hua."

Xu Wen pursed his lips. Just now, he felt keenly that Hua Rong beside him didn't like him for some reason. The unruly young man looked at himself for the first time since he was born. He only thought that he had done something bad. Now he was happy to hear that he agreed to go up the mountain. He couldn't help but saw that Hua Baoyan was so talkative and said, "I wonder if you can introduce me to the brother of the copycat? I also want to sell the goods."

"Humph--"

Hua Rong hummed something in his nose, and when Xu Wen was helpless, he heard Hua Baoyan next to him chuckle: "Brother is Shanzhai's brother and Liangshan's brother."

"What?"

Screams exploded under the sky. The young man was dumbfounded and unconsciously let go of his hand. Hua Rong pulled the pig's leg hard and tried not to move it. He immediately glanced at Xu Wen. The man hurriedly bent down to pick it up and pulled it, with a confused look on his face. He consciously showed a flattering smile to Xiao Li Guang next to him.

Along the way up the mountain, Xu Wen looked at the military camp covered with flags as if in a dream. Soldiers came forward to help Hua Rong carry the prey and followed him through the prisoner camp and through the mountain pass. While he was marveling at the current situation in Erlong Mountain, Got some understanding.

……

This side of the cottage.

In the afternoon, the clouds became thicker, a breeze blew by, and several flags with black background and red edges unfurled and made a hunting sound.

Groups of Erlongshan minions are reorganizing with the surrendered officers and soldiers in Qingzhou. Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi are both military officers. After a short period of training by the two, these Erlongshan minions have some basic understanding of orders and prohibitions. At this time, Tang Bin led the trapped camp to practice the concept. Although he was complaining endlessly, he also had two or three points.

"A certain person has sent a letter to Xi Sheng and Dian, asking them to ambush in the north and south outside Yidu City in three days. To the east, they will each send out a battalion of infantry to block it first. Xiao Qi thought of the navy. Ways to suppress it." Pointing at the rough defense map of Qingzhou City, Lu Bu looked up at Bian Xiang and Du Bo standing opposite: "You two are going to trick the city gate into opening, but have you found someone with a similar body shape?"

"We've already found it. Wear armor at night. The firelight can't be seen as long as it's a little further away." Bian Xiang touched his chin: "There's just one thing. That Qin Ming is from Kaizhou behind the mountain. His accent is a bit unique. Brother below, don't you?" It’s what people say.”

"Then don't let him speak. Where is the other person?"

"Brother, Qin Ming has an impatient temper, so it might be inappropriate not to speak." Bian Xiang scratched his hair, with a helpless expression on his face.

"It doesn't matter." Lu Bu waved his hand: "There is no general in the army who can step forward and call the door on his own. Just let the people who call more people hurry."

Bian Xiang thought for a while and nodded.

Lu Buqu pointed at the drawing: "If everything goes well, after entering the city, Du Bo will lead people to attack the north and south gates. The guards under your command, except Yu Cheng, will also be under your control for the time being."

"Thank you, brother."

Du Bo lowered his head and responded. As the three of them were talking, the sound of footsteps outside reached their ears. The three of them were all smart people. They turned to look at the door one after another, and heard several knocks on the door. "Come in." , Hua Rong pushed open the door and poked his head in: "Brother... are you disturbing me?"

"Come in." Lu Bu smiled: "I'm just finalizing the arrangements. Is there something wrong, dear brother?"

Hua Rong opened the door and walked in. He greeted Bian Xiang and Du Bo first, and said with a smile: "My little brother went hunting with my little sister today. That girl was almost injured by a wild boar's kiss. Fortunately, she got a kiss from a wild boar." The man named Xu...wen saved his life because of the rescue, but now that man has something to do and wants to see his brother."

……

at the same time.

In the Juyi Hall that was converted from the main hall in front, a young man and woman were standing and talking.

"Brother saved my sister-in-law and me when my eldest brother took office a few years ago. If it hadn't been for my eldest brother, we would have died at the hands of thieves, and something bad might have happened."

The young man's eyes widened: "So thrilling?"

……

"Oh? It's so thrilling." Lu Bu paused when he heard him talking about people. He thought Hua Rong was thinking about people's names. He looked at Bian Xiang and Du Bu and said, "Things will be like this for now. If any situation arises, we will adapt accordingly. "

The two of them quickly handed over their hands.

"Go and take a look in front." The tall figure moved a few steps and said, "Is my little sister okay? Then what did Xu Wenke say?"

Hua Rong cupped her hands towards the two people over there, quickly turned around and followed Lu Bu, and stepped out of the room: "My little sister is thick-skinned and everything is fine. Although she was a little frightened, she is not serious."

……

"Now that I think about it, I was quite frightened at the time. Fortunately, my brother protected my sister-in-law and me all the way to find him. Therefore, even though we experienced life and death, I felt happy and calm."

The young man opposite had a complicated face and felt a little frustrated.

Hua Baoyan didn't realize what he was thinking, and smiled on her face: "Speaking of which, although my brother is not much older than me, he always feels that he looks at me like an elder brother, and he always treats me as a junior..."

Xu Wen raised his head slightly when he heard this, his eyes brightened, and the crisp voice on the other side continued: "This time my eldest brother was framed by Shangguan, and it was my brother who acted righteously to save my family from death. It seems that I still owe him more."

The young man nodded slightly and murmured softly: "There is no greater kindness than saving people's lives. I have saved your family twice... and it's not over yet."

"Yes, so I respect him like a father and brother."

The young man nodded silently.

……

"How can you talk about your sister like that?" The majestic figure in front turned his head and glared at Xiao Li Guang who was following him.

"That girl...brother, even though she is a woman, she has been very strong since she was a child." "She is still a girl after all. I will find a doctor for her later."

Hua Rong smiled and did not refute, and followed to the gate at the end of the courtyard: "Xu Wen is a private salt seller. He said he wanted to sell the salt to Deng Long of Erlong Mountain."

Lu Bu slowed down his steps slightly and glanced at Hua Rong. He felt that it was a bit strange for him to address someone he had just met for the first time. Then he stepped out again and said, "It's interesting that he is looking for something to eat in Chai Daguan's mouth."

"So that guy can't sell it." Hua Rong shrugged and curled his lips.

The figure in front couldn't help but glance at him when he heard the sarcasm he said, but he didn't ask any more questions.

Walking along the corridor, he turned around and entered the hall. He was looking at the young girl standing in the hall.

Lu Bu glanced at the two of them and saw the girl smiling and saying something with her hands behind her back. The young man looked upright and well-proportioned, and he smiled shyly and looked like he was listening.

Hua Rong clicked his tongue softly from behind, but he didn't see the person in front of him frowning when he saw the two of them getting along. He felt like there was a thief in his own yard.

After calming down, Lu Bu suppressed his discomfort and walked over: "Are you looking for someone?"

When Hua Baoyan saw the two coming, she quickly whispered: "This is my brother, the leader of Liangshan Village."

Xu Wen immediately stood up straight. Somehow, he felt as if he had been checking his homework every day after learning martial arts from his master. He was slightly nervous and bowed: "Junior Xu Wen has seen my brother... no, the village leader."

兄？

Brother?

you?

"Well!" The approaching figure's eyes were displeased, and he glanced directly at Xu Wen, who was bowing. The young man was slightly annoyed, but he heard a deep voice ringing next to him: "Why are you so careless? Where is the injury? One morning Didn’t you listen to me when I told you to take some brothers with you to go hunting?”

It turned out that I was caring about Little Lady Hua...

Xu Wen breathed a sigh of relief and felt that it was normal. If it wasn't like this, how could Lady Hua respect someone like a brother?

It's just that he didn't know whether to straighten up at this time. He always felt that if he stood up by himself, it would make others unhappy, so he had to stand with a bow.

Hua Rong, who was following behind, walked past the young man without even looking at her: "Brother, tell me more about her. This girl always has her own thoughts and often gets into trouble. We need to deal with her temper."

"Oh brother, today was an accident. Who knew I would run into a crazy wild boar? I just fell, so it doesn't matter." Hua Baoyan smiled ingratiatingly, came over, pulled Lu Bu's sleeves, shook her, and glared at her dear friend fiercely. Brother, a clear voice sounded: "Don't listen to my big brother's nonsense. I'm usually very well-behaved. Where have I ever caused any trouble?"

A pair of deer eyes glanced at Xu Wen who was bowing in front of him, tugged on Lu Bu's sleeve, and pointed at him with the other finger: "Brother, I'm still greeting you. You need to get up first."

People? x2

The corners of Hua Rong's mouth turned down with an unhappy expression, and Lu Bu's eyes twitched slightly. However, he had learned to practice Cheng Fu in the past two years. Although he didn't dare to say he was successful, he was able to suppress the word "throw it out" to some extent.

Then he slowly turned around, looked at the young man who was still bowing in front of him with a smile, and said, "Just now I was only caring about my little sister, but I was neglecting little brother Xu."

Xu Wen then stood up, pretending to be elegant and said: "It is human nature to care about your family, and a young man dare not blame the leader of the village."

Lu Bu became more and more unhappy when he saw that he looked like a scholar, but when he thought of Hua Baoyan beside him, he didn't say much. He just said: "That's good." Then he turned to look at the girl: "Little sister, go back first." Go to your room and let your sister-in-law take a look at the injury. There is some medicine on the mountain. Apply it as soon as possible to prevent external evils from entering the body."

"Ah? Oh..."

Hua Baoyan glanced at Xu Wen and saw that he also indicated that it was okay, so she agreed, turned around and walked out.

The girl didn't like Xu Wen that much. She was simple-minded. She was grateful for being saved just now, so she looked kindly to him along the way and was willing to talk to the savior. However, the two of them first felt that their own My brother was in an unhappy mood, and when I went up the mountain, I was sensitive to Lu Bu's displeasure with the young man. I didn't want this little benefactor to be targeted by the two of them for no reason, so I looked at Xu Wen and saw that he was confident in dealing with it, so I left with peace of mind.

Unexpectedly, what she did made the three people present get the wrong idea.

After watching the people leave, Lu Bu just turned around, walked to the top and sat down, watched Hua Rong sit aside, and said to the young man in the hall: "I heard from Hua Xiandi that you sell private salt?"

"Yes, my home..."

The young man opened his mouth to speak, and the figure at the top raised his hand to signal. Xu Wen had to shut up, and listened to the voice from the top: "Back then, when a certain person had no whereabouts, it was a certain person from Chai Daguan's gang, so Liangshan Within the scope of influence, only Chai Daguan and his family are allowed to sell salt."

Xu Wen was so anxious that he didn't care about pretending to be elegant. He quickly handed over his hands and said: "We don't want to compete with the Chai family for profit. It's just that the salt products have been backlogged for a long time. If they can't be sold, someone below will inevitably starve to death. Please ask the village owner." Please be merciful and let us sell the goods this time, and I can promise not to touch salt in the future."

"Oh?" Lu Bu narrowed his eyes: "You say so... but you want to do other business in the future?"

Xu Wen nodded repeatedly: "Yes, although my Xu family is not a big businessman, there are many acquaintances in the Jingdong East Road area. Food, cloth and porcelain groceries can be obtained. It's just that my father used to be a peddler." Profit from salt is a business done with the Lord.”

Looking at the young man with an expressionless face, Lu Bu gently tapped the armrest with his hand. Just as Xu Wen's heart sank, the figure above said, "Well, I'll give you a chance."

Xu Wen perked up and said, "I am willing to listen to the command of the village master."

"I will give you a month." Lu Bu raised a finger and looked at him and said, "If you raise 300,000 shi of grain in one month, I can take it at the market price."

Xu Wenyi frowned: "If it's a niche..."

"Don't bore me with such formality."

The interrupted young man quickly changed his tone and said tentatively: "If I don't raise 300,000 stones within a month..."

“There is no place in Liangshan that cannot be visited in the Jingdong area.”

Below, the young man took a deep breath: "Don't worry, village leader, Xu Wen will be able to raise the food within a month." Then he smiled bitterly: "Even if this salt cannot be sold, I won't be able to spend the capital to buy it."

Lu Bu waved his hand: "Aren't you selling Erlong Mountain? Someone wants it. Yu Cheng, take him to get the silver."

The young man was overjoyed and bowed quickly. The burly guards outside came in and led Xu Wen to the back.

Hua Rong watched him walk out, hesitated slightly, and looked up: "Brother, this person..."

"This person doesn't like it either."

Lu Bu patted the armrest, and stood up with a loud bang: "According to his previous temper, I wouldn't have killed him, but now and then, I also have to consider the future of the village." He looked at Hua Rong and said: "If he really has as many connections as he said, he might as well keep him, no..."

He snorted coldly and looked outside. Xiao Li Guang below slowly said: "No, I would like to lead people to find him." (End of Chapter)
