Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

"Is there a shadow of a boat outside?"

"I don't know, little brother." Ruan Xiaowu shook his head: "It's dark at night, and the water is full of reeds. Even if there is a boat, it's probably not easy to find."

Lu Bu took two steps and then waved his hand: "If that's the case, forget it. We only have one night. I will meet him again tomorrow to see what they are up to."

Ruan Xiaowu arched his hands and said, "Yes, then I'll take my leave." Then he turned around and left.

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Guard the water stronghold."

"Brother, don't worry."

The short-lived Erlang over there responded and turned around to leave. Lu Bu stood there and frowned, looking at Ruan Xiaowu's back in a daze. Then he shook his head and turned around and walked into the room. It was half past midnight, and Xiao Lu Wen had just finished eating at her mother's place. After dinner, I was coaxed to sleep.

When Lu Bu entered the room, he was watching Wu Qing tuck the quilt over the little man, then waved his hands and the two walked out quietly, closing the door.

"I went to bed very early today." Lu Bu turned to look at the door and smiled.

"Which day is not this time to sleep?" Wu Qing shook her head: "It's a good thing that the village lacks everything, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to live in an ordinary family."

"It's not such an exaggeration." The man shook his head and touched the woman's hair with his big hand: "Besides, you have never experienced anything like this, how do you know?"

"What do you know, sir?" Wu Qing hit him with her hand and rolled her eyes: "I followed Sanniang and Miss Jin to the village at the foot of the mountain to deliver things. Some people couldn't even light an oil lamp. Where did they come from at night? Light."

Lu Bu smiled bitterly and did not argue: "What you said makes sense."

"By the way, Sir, who is it just now?" The two walked into the front hall. The maid had already prepared chicken soup. Wu Qing sat down and sipped it, looking at his man.

"Ruan Jiawulang, there is something." Lu Bu didn't say much, picked up the tea and took a sip.

Wu Qing didn't ask, just said: "The Ruan family's aunt and sister-in-law are both sincere people. When the husband went out a few days ago, she and the Niu family's sister-in-law always came to the house to help, and talked a lot about raising children. "

"That would be troublesome for them."

Lu Bu smiled and made a note of the favor in his mind. The two of them talked a few more about family issues, but mostly the women were talking and the men were listening. After finishing the chicken soup, Wu Qing pushed him and said, "Okay, tonight Mr. Lang has been here for a long time, it’s time to go find Sister Sanniang, and I’ll talk to you tomorrow.”

The man straightened his back and looked serious: "What are you talking about? Why can't you two be together?"

Wu Qing pursed her lips and smiled: "Just once in a while is enough. Too many times will hurt your health." He pushed Lu Bu: "Okay, don't make Sister Sanniang wait in a hurry. Go quickly."

Lu Bu then stood up and walked outside. By the time he entered Sanniang's house, he saw that the long-legged Yi Zhangqing had been waiting for a long time. Then he came to the city, fighting hand to hand, charging in the rain, throwing away his helmet and armor, and losing his life. Countless, they all just collected their troops and returned to the main camp.

……

The next day, the sky was dark, and dark clouds gathered in the blue sky. The people watching felt a little depressed, and the breeze blew, and there was always a smell of moisture in the nose.

"It is going to rain……"

Taoist Qiu squinted at the sky, twirling his beard, with a look of hesitation on his face. He stared at the sky for a long time, and saw the rain dripping down. There were footsteps outside the door, and then There was a loud knock on the door.

"Taoist Qiu, brother invites you."

Taoist Qiu took a breath and lowered his head, adjusted his robe, and then walked to the door and opened it. Outside, Ye Qing was facing him with an oil-paper umbrella, and handed him an umbrella: "Brother Ye Qing, Taoist Master..."

Taoist Qiu took the hand and stretched out his hand sideways: "Please." "Thank you."

Taoist Qiu clasped his fists, and then followed Ye Qing towards the distance. However, there were a lot of buildings in Liangshan. Recently, two people, Tao Zongwang and Jiang Jing, who were good at building, came here. There were many more houses than before. What he saw was that The Taoist was dizzy and wandered around without knowing where he was going. He thought for a while and said, "Brother Ye, I wonder where Brother Liu Yun is?"

"Brother Liu Yun is on another hill." Ye Qing didn't hide it, pointing in one direction with his hand: "It's far away from here."

"Oh……"

Qiu Taoist let out a growl, listening to the pitter-patter of raindrops hitting the umbrella. There was a look of thought in his eyes. He just twirled his beard and rubbed it back and forth. He didn't know what he was thinking about. Ye Qing turned around slightly and looked at him with his peripheral vision. Without saying anything, the two of them walked outside a hall amidst the sound of rain.

"Brother Yu Cheng, the guests are here."

Stepping into the room, Ye Qing closed his umbrella and said to the leader of the guards on the side. The burly figure with no childish expression on the other side cupped his hands: "Brother Ye, thank you for your hard work. Brother is waiting inside." He extended his hand to the Taoist. Quote: "Guest, please come with me."

The Taoist Qiu looked at Ye Qing, and waved his hands to say goodbye and motioned for him to follow. The Taoist couldn't help but murmured in his heart that the little demon in the temple was very windy and had too many rules.

He raised his feet and followed the figure in front of him.

This is a place recently built by Tao Zongwang and Jiang Jing specifically to receive newcomers or outsiders. It is not very big, but the tables and chairs are very elegant. They are all made of fine wood. There are wooden shelves on the side. There are a few potted plants and porcelain.

When Taoist Qiu came in, he was looking at Lu Bu who was sitting upright. He couldn't help but squint his eyes to take a look at this leader of the green forest who shocked the north. He saw that he was wearing a black outfit with red edges, his hair was tied with a golden crown, and his face He was handsome and young. If he wasn't sitting there, he would have felt like he was facing a beast. Just looking at him and dressing up, he really looked like a high-spirited second-generation boy.

"Brother, the guests are here."

Yu Cheng stepped forward, clasped his fists and finished speaking, walked to Lu Bu's side, turned around and stood still.

Lu Bu looked up and saw that Taoist Qiu took a breath, straightened his clothes unconsciously with his hands and went over to salute, saying, "Taoist Qiu of Manichaeism has met the leader of Liangshan, the leader of the village, Master Lu."

"No need to be polite." Lu Bu waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Is Taoist Master here today to fulfill the old agreement?"

Hu Mu looked over, and for a moment the Taoist felt uncomfortable. He knew that the opponent's aura was overwhelming him, and he couldn't help but cursed in his heart. No one told Pindao that this man's aura was so strong, and he was not prepared. , wouldn’t this cause trouble for me, the Taoist priest?

Little did he know that the only people who had seen Lu Bu were Liu Yun and a few others, so they couldn't tell him anything.

The man's mouth twitched slightly, and he just bowed and said: "Master Lu, my leader asked Pindao to come this time to apologize. Many people's families in dozens of military prefectures along the Jiangnan coast have suffered from famine. We have to get money and food first." I don’t have much money left to help the people, so please forgive me.”

Seeing the displeasure in the other person's eyes, the Taoist priest couldn't help but take another breath, bowed his head and clasped his fists, and continued: "My leader is also a person who respects heroes and loves to make friends with others. As long as Guizhai lets Brother Liu Yun go, Manichaeism will be a success from now on." He is Guizhai's most loyal ally along the Jiangnan coast, and he is willing to spread the word to the world that he respects Liangshan as his brother."

Lu Bu looked the man up and down, then suddenly smiled "ha!", leaned back, and pointed his thick fingers on the table: "Can you understand me in this way? If you don't want to give me money and food, if someone wants me to let you go, you still want me." I will help you wait in the north to contain the power of the army so that Manichaeism can develop with peace of mind."

Qiu Taoist buried his head in his arms and didn't know what his expression was, but the tips of his ears were a little red. He heard his voice in his ears and said: "Zhai Master Lu is joking, but I really don't have such thoughts."

Lu Bu looked at the Taoist who was standing bent over with a sarcastic smile on his lips: "You are waiting for this method to be more obvious. Do you really think that this person is a young and innocent person who can be driven by a false reputation?"

"No... I don't dare." Taoist Qiu said vaguely: "I really don't have such an idea. The leader of the village knows this for sure."

Lu Bu stared at him. The Taoist priest who was bowing over there felt the gaze, and his body felt slightly awkward. He didn't dare to get up without speaking to the other person, and soon a layer of sweat formed on his forehead under the gaze.

After a long while, seeing beads of sweat dripping down in front of him, Lu Bu finally said, "Go down the mountain in a moment and tell your leader that he has taken note of this."

The hater suddenly raised his head. (End of chapter)
