Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 47
Kaixuan noodle farm, the wine talk mulberry.

Lu Bu and the others fully enjoyed Chai Jin's enthusiasm and entertained them with good wine and good food. When they were interested, they talked about martial arts together, and practiced swordsmen and sticks. The martial arts skills of the people really opened Chai Jin's eyes. He said that he had never seen such luxury. The gangsters who are covered are clamoring for a few dealers to learn from everyone.

It just so happened that Lu Bu also wanted the minions in the village to practice. Don't waste your energy all day long, let Chai Jin's people train with him. On the contrary, he paid more attention to it, vowing not to let people think that his group has no real skills.

In addition to making friends with heroes from all walks of life, this Chai Jin also likes to talk about the past and the present, so it hit Lu Bu's heart, and the two of them burned incense and prepared tea in their spare time. Let's chat about the past and the present together.

It's just that Chai Jin is quite strange. This Lv Bu seems to be an ancient man of the Han Dynasty. When talking about the styles of the Eastern and Western Han, most of his words are meaningful and reasonable, especially he has unique insights into the heroes of the late Han Dynasty.But when it comes to the romantic figures of the younger generation, his eyes are blank, but he also likes to listen to Chai Jin and Qiao Lie's discussions about the characters, which makes Chai Jin addicted.

The fly in the ointment is that Chai Jin originally thought that Wang Lun was a scholar, and he was also interested in this ancient and modern talk. Several people should be able to talk together. He wanted to introduce the two groups of people. They are all people in the green forest. correct.

I just didn't expect this person to sneer immediately after hearing Lu Bu's name, which almost prevented Deng Fei, Ma Ling and others from being beaten to death.Chai Jin had no choice but to arrange for Wang Lun to rest in a house on the east side of the Zhuangzi on the grounds of healing, lest the two groups meet and Wang Lun would die in his Zhuangzi again.

One month later, Chai Jin waited for his uncle Chai Huangcheng to visit Zhuangzi.

"Why did uncle come to the village? Is there something important?" Chai Jin brought Chai Huangcheng into the study, and couldn't help asking curiously.Chai Huangcheng people like luxury and like to visit brothels. No matter how good Chaijiazhuang is, it is in a remote place. Although there are lively people from the rivers and lakes, but vulgar warriors are not what he likes. During the day, I only spend my days drunk and dreaming in the brothel. I heard that I just groomed a young man recently, and they are having a hot fight, but even so, I often come to the manor to see Chai Jin. Maybe because he has no children, he treats his nephew as his own out.

Chai Huangcheng's skin is also good, although he is nearly fifty years old, his hair and beard are still black and shiny, his face is ruddy and shiny, and he looks like a refined old man. Butler) said that Zhuangzi came up with two groups of strong men?"

Chai Jin smiled when he heard this, stroked his beard with his hand and said: "It can't be counted as two groups. There are only two people in this group. They are low-ranking talents from the west of Beijing. They don't have much ability, but they want to be an enemy of the Zhao family. Xiao My nephew is thinking about how to support him."

Chai Huangcheng held the teacup and frowned: "What about the other group?"

Hearing this, Chai Jin let go of his hands, and said with emotion: "The other group is Shezhe, and they are strongmen from Liao and Hebei. I wonder if Uncle has heard of Lu Bu?"

Chai Huangcheng put down the teacup, and glared at Chai Jin: "Why don't you know the name of Marquis Wen at the end of Han Dynasty, you little mud monkey, could it be possible that you regard me as ignorant, uncle?"

Chai Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said with some embarrassment: "Uncle, my nephew is already thirty, don't blame me for falling into the quagmire when I was a child."

Picking his face with his hands: "My nephew is talking about Lu Bu, the leader of this group of gangsters, not the one at the end of Han."

"Huh? His name is Lu Bu?" Chai Huangcheng was taken aback, tilted his head and thought for a long time, and then slowly said: "You said that as an uncle, but I remembered it. I heard a girl named Hua in Yongxiu Tower a few days ago. .”

Chai Jin knew his uncle's hobbies, but he also wanted to know what kind of rumors were going on in the brothel, so he laughed and said, "What did Hua Niang say?"

Chai Huangcheng stroked his beard: "A few days ago, Hua Niang was talking with a wealthy businessman in the North. It is said that there was a strong bandit named Lu Bu in Liao. , What did you say... Yes, they are two of the 28 generals of the Liao Kingdom, but I had too much wine at the time, and when I woke up, I thought it was talking in a dream, so I didn't take it seriously."

Chai Jin's complexion changed slightly. He had been drinking and feasting with Lu Bu and others for a while. During the dinner, Deng Fei once said that they were killed by the Northland, but Lu Bu interrupted him and said something trivial. Not worth mentioning.He thought that Deng Fei was going to brag, and Lu Bu was embarrassed, so he didn't take it to heart. He just asked someone to collect some of his deeds in Hebei and check them. He didn't expect to hear such a thing from his uncle today. information.

"It seems that Lu Bu's strength is really unexpected." Chai Jin narrowed his eyes and tugged on his short beard, with a thoughtful expression.

There have been no wars between Liao and Song for many years. However, this does not mean that Liao is weak in the hearts of Song people. On the contrary, Liao is still very strong in the hearts of many Song people. Therefore, some prestigious generals of Liao are also very popular in Song. Famous, these 28 generals are also in the talk.

"Most people in the world will spread rumors." Chai Huangcheng narrowed his eyes, twisted his beard and said, "Do you think he really has that level of strength?"

Chai Jin nodded and shook his head again: "I don't know about leading troops to fight, but I only practice martial arts every day to watch them dance. The Fangtian painted halberd is really extraordinary. My nephew thinks that he is not a single enemy. And a few days ago, my nephew led He waited to go hunting, and Lu Bu seemed to be very interested, but when he heard the noise in the forest, he didn't even look at it, just shot an arrow, and he was sure to get something. When he came back, he encountered a wild boar the size of a calf, and the nephew wanted to persuade him to go first. Dodge it, if you eat it, Lu Bu will shoot you blind with double arrows."

"Hiss~" Chai Huangcheng opened his mouth and took a breath: "Did the wild boar go crazy?"

Chai Jin smiled wryly: "Why didn't you go crazy? My nephew was still worried. The two leaders under Lu Bu, one called Bian Xiang, and the other called E Quanzhong rushed forward one from the left and the other from the right. They were all cut off, and then Lu Bu stepped forward and chopped off his head."

He slapped his hands while saying, "We saw a dangerous existence in our eyes, but in the end, people didn't care at all."

"Then what Huaniang Zhemo said is true?" Chai Huangcheng was a little surprised.

Chai Jin took a sip of tea and said, "Uncle, don't care if he's true or not. This man has betrayed the officers and soldiers in Hebei, and the official document of the sea arrest has already come down. As long as he intends to set up a cabinet in the Song Dynasty, he can make a child surnamed Zhao feel uncomfortable." For a while, that little nephew hasn't been busy for a while."

Hearing the words, Chai Huangcheng leaned forward: "You said, are you ready to help him?"

Chai Jin nodded fiercely, stood up and walked back and forth a few steps: "My nephew heard that he wanted to go to Jingdong, and he is discussing where to go these days, so my nephew is also helping to make a detailed decision, but there is no conclusion yet. .”

Chai Huangcheng lowered his head and was silent for a while, then looked up at Chai Jin: "Tell me, how about Liangshan?"

"Huh?" Chai Jin turned around in surprise, "Uncle, what do you mean?"

Chai Huangcheng didn't speak, just squinted his eyes, twisted the tip of his beard with one hand and rubbed it back and forth, Chai Jin didn't urge him, he knew it was his uncle's habit when he was thinking, he walked back to his seat and sat down, picked up the tea and sipped it slowly drinking.

After a long while, Chai Huangcheng put down his hand, put one hand on the table, leaned slightly and said, "Chai Fu came back a few days ago and said that our family's salt line has been targeted."

Chai Jin's expression changed: "Who is following him?"

"I don't know, Chai Fu only said that he was quick to see the opportunity. He found that guy in an ambush in Liangshan. After fighting for a while but failed to take him down, they fled into the water. It could be that some friend on the road missed our house. It's a pity that the dozen or so farmers who stayed behind in the warehouse were all killed."

"The uncle means..."

"The two groups you mentioned are grateful?" Chai Huangcheng didn't answer, but asked a question that he didn't want to do.

Chai Jin immediately replied: "Wang Lunxi speaks big words, is narrow-minded, and is greedy for cheap things. He doesn't seem to be a man who knows how to repay his kindness. His companion is an honest person who has no ideas. Lu Bu and his gang are different. , Deng Fei, the leader of his subordinates, was once sponsored by me, and he came back this time to repay the kindness of the previous sponsorship, uncle, to tell you the truth, my nephew has sponsored so many quacks, only this one came back to give gifts."

"As for Na Lu Bu, he is straightforward and loyal. The gifts Deng Fei prepared for him this time are all chosen for him. He should also be a person who loves his subordinates. However, according to my nephew's observation, this person has a very serious heart, but he doesn't know it. Why. As for his leaders, they are all loyal men, they get along well with each other, and they don't see anything dirty."

Chai Huangcheng's eyelids drooped slightly, and his tone was low: "Since then, Liangshan is our transit point, and we must not discard it. Now that Lu Bu is looking for a place to open the mountain, why don't you give him Liangshan, and share the salt line with him in the future. Son, all he has to do is keep the salt line safe."

"Isn't it a loss..." Chai Jin's voice was not loud, but he was puzzled and surprised.

"Confused." Chai Huangcheng snorted: "Our family's line cannot be expanded because there is no available force to expand. Now Lu Bu and his gang are so extravagant and loyal, so they just cooperate with our family? He is responsible for protection and even suppression. I Just expand the business, wait until it grows bigger, won't the money come in faster?"

Chai Jin lowered his head and thought for a while: "It's okay if you say it, but why not use Wang Lun, he is not very capable, so he can control it better."

"People's hearts are not enough for snakes to swallow elephants." Chai Huangcheng pointed his hand at the table: "Since Wang Lun is a ungrateful person, when he has the strength, he will definitely bite you and me, and then Zhemo will be bitten by him again. If he keeps getting up If you don't come, it will be of little use to our family, as you said, you have to share his money at a loss, so it's better not to use him from the beginning."

Chai Jin listened thoughtfully: "You say, this Lu Bu is the best choice for us now?"

Chai Huangcheng sighed slowly: "It's not the best, but it's better than that Wang Lun. It's because my family was stared at by Zhao and couldn't develop. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for us to pull up a team ourselves, and now we can only take advantage of outsiders."

"Everything in this world should belong to my family." Chai Jin thumped the table hard: "If it wasn't for the despicable surname Zhao, how could we be so troubled by a private way of salting?"

"Hey! This is fate." Chai Huangcheng sighed, with a wry smile on his face as if appointed, and a gleam of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

"The little nephew is going to discuss with Lu Bu." Chai Jin got up impatiently, and was about to leave.

"Don't be busy." Chai Huangcheng hurriedly pulled Chai Jin back: "Let him stay for a while longer, exchange your sincerity for his sincerity, and give him more things, so that benefits and righteousness are intertwined, and he will remember you. When the business is booming and seeing dividends, he will try his best to maintain stability for us, and I'm afraid he will urge you and me to expand."

"What uncle said is that my nephew is impatient."

"Every time you talk about Zhao Song's official family, you can't hold your breath. What about the old city?" Chai Huangcheng shook his head: "What does that person like? Prepare for my uncle's return."

"This..." Chai Jin was taken aback when he heard the words, not knowing what to say.

"What? That person doesn't like it? Or have you not come out for so long?" Chai Huangcheng looked at his nephew in surprise. This ability to look at people was cultivated by his nephew since he was a child, and he usually only received those people in the world for three to five days. You can see the other person's preferences and behavior, why is there a problem at this time?No, didn't he understand these two groups of people before?

Chai Jin smiled helplessly when he heard the words.

　Wild boars are very dangerous in the eyes of hunters. There is a saying that "one pig (wild boar), two bears and three tigers".
