Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

The sun rises in the east, and the water gradually wakes up. Several wild ducks fly over the reeds and land, fluttering their wings and gliding on the water for a distance. Several lines of water patterns emerge and spread behind the birds, and finally calm down. At a certain moment, an explosion is heard. The noisy wild duck flew up and headed away from the mountain.

dong dong dong-

Several big drums were beating, and the drumsticks hit the sheepskin drums to make a loud roar. Teams of soldiers left the barracks to start the day, shouting to kill, and waving their weapons.

A young general named Xiao Li Guang was standing in front of the archery target, gesticulating with his hands, and talking to two men, Lu Fang and Huang Xin. But this man couldn't wait and rushed into the school grounds early this morning before he was completely drunk. , which made these two people complain endlessly. He and others drank a lot last night. Huang Xin's old injury had not yet healed, but he had agreed to the job after all, so he could only hold on and listen.

In the house on the mountain, Lu Bu rarely got up early for morning exercises. He struggled to pull his arms out from under Wu Qing and Hu Sanniang. After struggling for a long time, the two octopuses let go of their hands. A trace of pain flashed across the face of the man who was never afraid of pain. , his arms were raised in front of his eyes and he couldn't move at all. His fingers bent for a while, and then a wave of soreness and numbness hit him, making him take a deep breath.

"This is really..." Muttering inaudible words, the man who enjoyed the blessing of everyone shook his arms twice, then put on his clothes, opened the door and walked out.

"Mr. Sir." The maid was placing bowls and chopsticks in the front hall. When she saw Lu Bu coming out, she quickly said hello: "Mr. Sir, would you like some breakfast?"

"Let's get some." Lu Bu nodded, walked over and sat down: "Let's take my share first, so don't disturb her two."

The maid heard this with a smile on her face, lowered her head and said yes with a smile, then turned around and went out. After a while, she brought some food and a few plates of cold dishes and placed them in front of Lu Bu.

"It's quite novel." Lu Bu glanced at the breakfast in front of him with some novel eyes. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the maid: "Is this a new dish made by you?"

"Mr. Lang misunderstood." The maid smiled and said, "Mrs. Jin came here earlier today and arranged the breakfast in the kitchen herself. She said she wanted Xun to try it."

Lu Bu blinked, thought for a moment, picked up the chopsticks, took a mouthful of cold dish, put it in his mouth and chewed: "It tastes good, but you put your heart into it."

"Little Miss Jin has been practicing hard for a while." She added in her mouth, gave Lu Bu a blessing, lowered her head and retreated: "Mr. Lang, use it slowly."

With a hum in his nose, the man quickly swept away the breakfast with his hands, then he patted his stomach, stood up, and walked to his daughter's room to tease her for a while before heading to the study room that had been absent for a long time.

Yu Cheng was already waiting in front of the door. When he saw Lu Bu coming out, he immediately stood behind him and followed him towards the study. When it was past noon, a piece of paper was spread all over the mountain:

Wang Jun was moved to serve as the commander of the Erlongshan branch. He had already taken office. Yang Zhi was appointed to Xi Sheng's command, and Fu Xiang of the Ma Army was transferred to his deputy general.

He moved to Baisen as the commander of the Erlongshan branch and had already taken office. He joined Qin Ming and joined Bian Xiang's command. Fang Qiong, a member of the Ma Army, was transferred to his deputy general.

Quanzhong moved to Hubei and became the leader of Erlongshan branch village. He immediately went to take office. He supplemented Lu Zhi and went deep into Bian Xiang's command. Su Yi, a member of the Ma Army, was transferred to his deputy general.

The newly built Shesheng Battalion, with Hua Rong as the commander, under the jurisdiction of Huang Xin and Lu Fang, with a tentative number of 800 people, trained with the Tuntian Army when they were not on duty.

Up and down the mountain, everything was busy.

……

The weather in late mid-autumn is still unbearably hot, but it is much cooler in the morning and evening.

When the sun went west, the feeling of heat began to subside. A small boat followed the current and entered the 800-mile water moor. It approached Liangshan Water Village while paddling all the way. Under the light of the torch, the boat slowly stopped in the water. A soldier of the village stood at the gate of the water village and looked down at the watchtower: "Who is coming?" The man rowing the boat did not answer. A Taoist man got out of the canopy of the boat with a smile on his face and said in an energetic voice: "Please tell me up and down. As soon as there was a sound, Qiu Taoist from Shan County came to ask for an audience on behalf of Manichaeism."

The soldiers on the watchtower were suddenly startled, and quickly stretched out their heads and shouted: "Wait a moment!"

Then he hurriedly descended from the watchtower, got on a small boat, carried the oar like flying, and threw it into the water village. Seeing Ruan Xiaowu on duty, he quickly reported: "Fifth leader, there is a thief outside who says he represents Mani." The teacher came to ask for an audience.”

Ruan Xiaowu was overjoyed when he heard this. He was one of the people who experienced the Jiangzhou incident, and he also knew that Lu Bu was waiting for the other party to send money and food to redeem him: "Oh? But he is here to send money and food?"

"It's just a small boat. It doesn't have a deep draft. I thought there were only two or three people in it."

"Are you really just here for a visit?" Ruan Xiaowu frowned: "Straight bastard, how can weasel be so kind to the chicken to pay New Year's greetings? Not to mention that he still owes us money and food..."

"How about I drive him away?"

"No need." Ruan Xiaowu shook his head: "Let that guy in, my brother is still waiting for a letter from Manichae." He touched his chin and said, "You can't tell me that the ship carrying grain is behind?"

"As ordered."

The village soldier said that and ran out to give a signal. Immediately, someone shook the winch and opened the gate of the water village. Qiu Taoist smiled when he saw this. As he waved his hand, the man behind him quickly rowed the boat and slowly drove in. There were people from the water army. Send the signal for people to come over.

While Ruan Xiaowu watched coldly, he saw a man dressed as a Taoist priest leaping onto the boat. He had three long beards and looked like a scholar. He looked elegant. When he got closer to the firelight, he saw that this man had a first-class star around his waist. Hammer, the head of the hammer is as big as a child's head, hanging down on the waist, which looks very strange compared with his deputy's length.

"Did your envoy come here to pay money and food?" He said in a deep voice, and the short-lived Erlang stepped forward and pretended to stand on tiptoes and looked back: "Why don't you see the ship carrying food coming?"

"Brother, please." Taoist Qiu was not angry, and said cheerfully: "I always have to see the leader of Lu Village to tell me how to tell it here."

Ruan Xiaowu took a deep look at him and nodded: "Okay, I'll take you up the mountain. I can sleep now, but I won't see you until tomorrow."

"Thank you so much brother!"

Taoist Qiu bowed deeply, and then Shi Shiran followed the navy commander up. Ruan Xiaowu immediately found a soldier and took the Taoist to the guest room to rest while he hurried to Lu Bu's side.

Seeing the lights in the house, knowing that he had not yet fallen asleep, he hurriedly ran to knock on the door. Not long after, the sound of walking was heard. The maid opened the door and saw Ruan Xiaowu and did not dare to neglect: "How about Ruan Wulang?" Are you here? But you have something to see Mr. Lang? "

Short-lived Erlang lowered his head and nodded quickly when he heard the question: "Madam, please go and invite my brother and report anything."

The maid nodded, let Ruan Xiaowu into the courtyard door, and went to the room to ask Lu Bu to come out. When Ruan Xiaowu saw Lu Bu, he quickly stood up and clasped his fists: "Brother, some Manichaeans came to see you at night, little brother. See the money and food delivered as promised."

On the other side, his brows furrowed. (End of chapter)
