Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 490 Sailing and Visiting

The wilderness swallowed up the sunset, and the soft moonlight hung on the treetops.

In the study, there was a soft crackling sound from the candlelight, and someone in the room burst into hearty laughter. Soon Wei Zhaode, Li Bao, the Ruan brothers and others walked out of the door and walked arm-in-arm towards the residential area on the mountain.

In the study, Yu Cheng removed the extra tea cup. Lu Bu looked at the two whip generals with five red marks on their cheeks. He raised the corners of his mouth, then quickly put it away. He couldn't help but curl up into a smile: "Say. Tell me, why did Hu Yanqing become your ancestor?"

Hu Yanzhuo lowered his head, not daring to raise his head to look at Lu Bu, and said angrily: "My little brother's family had a lot of people at the beginning, and I don't know which of the ancestors started to spread his branches very late. In short... Although this elder didn't He is much older than me, but his seniority is terrifying. I must call him Uncle Taizu."

Lu Bu nodded. The matter of seniority in his clan was very complicated and difficult to explain, so he had to find another topic: "Did he hit you on the face? Why weren't you tied up?"

The corner of Hu Yanzhuo's eyes twitched, he opened his mouth, and after a while he said: "It was indeed tied up at the beginning..."

Unconsciously, he raised his hand and touched the slap mark on his face: "After I didn't recognize each other, I untied him. Who knew he gave me two ear stickers to eat?"

But he never mentioned that he rebelled against Tiangang and beat his elders.

Lu Bu had a smile on his face. He had already heard about what happened in the water stronghold before everyone in the navy came up. He didn't say much to save face for his brothers. He raised his hand to pick up the teacup on the table and took a sip. : "Is it possible to convince this person to be driven by the copycat?"

Hu Yanzhuo looked a little embarrassed at first, then his frown slowly smoothed out, and he pondered and asked, "Brother, what happened in Liaodong is true."

In the firelight, the leader of Liangshan Village nodded slowly. Hu Yanzhuo narrowed his eyes, licked his dry lips, stretched out his hand to drink the tea, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "You dare to say something so bold, my... Uncle Taizu will definitely not refuse."

Soon after, Hu Yanqing came to see Lu Bu with a strange look on his face, and this was the end of the war.

Liangshan began to fall silent again, licking the wounds injured in the previous battle with the imperial army. While preparing the new army intensively, craftsmen all over the mountain spun around, remaking the weapons captured on the battlefield and the severely damaged weapons. This can save a lot of iron ingots.

In the middle and late period of Mengxia, news came from the shipbuilding office that there was not enough wood for shipbuilding.

Lu Bu, who disliked the slow pace of felling trees, immediately led his men to attack the shipbuilding facilities in Weizhou and Mizhou, sweeping away all the large and small timber and craftsmen inside.

The craftsmen who got the materials were overjoyed, but were told to build another shipyard at sea. Then they went north to the sea with Wei Zhaode and the Zhang brothers who had newly obtained the warships. Also on the road was the completed shipyard. However, he wanted to go to sea and get used to it for a period of time. After all, sea is not as good as land, and not everyone can thrive on the ship.

Suddenly there was a boat on the river going up the wind, straight into the sea, and headed for the island.

……

Boom——Long——

Thunder exploded violently in the sky, the rain clouds were thick and low, and when the strong wind roared, huge raindrops fell down, crackling on the deck under the feet, and the waves were pushed by the wind onto the bow of the ship and exploded into small pieces. Drops of water flowed down the side of the ship.

The soldiers, who had never experienced storms at sea, were stunned for a moment, and all of them stared at the earth-shaking scene with their eyes wide open.

"You mother-in-law, don't just stand there, get off the boat, get off the boat, get off the boat!"

"Don't look at it. Go to the island and wait and see. Don't stand there now, or you will be swept into the sea by the waves and lose your life!"

Amidst the roar, several sailors with experience at sea kept shouting. Only then did the stunned infantry soldiers react and hurriedly walked down. However, the ship was shaking so hard at this time that many people could not stand still. Stable, let alone disembarking on the gangplank.

"Damn it, I, the old man, can't get anywhere, how can the little boy below do it?" He Ying wiped the rain off his face and shouted to Wei Zhaode: "Old Wei, think of a way, you can't just arrive at the place where you are. "I can't get to the shore." "Don't worry, I have an idea." The rainwater flowed down from his head and face, and the sea-covering dragon took a few steps forward and shouted: "Find a rope and let the people on the shore connect it." Tie the rope to the stake, hurry up!"

Someone followed the order and left. Not long after, several large ships dropped thick and long cables. Someone picked up the ropes from the pier below. Not long after, a rope that could be grasped was pulled up on the springboard.

Lightning illuminated the gloomy sea surface from time to time, and black shadows grabbed the rope and walked tremblingly downward. Occasionally, the hull shook, and someone screamed and stepped on the air. They were pulled up by the compatriots in front and behind and walked back onto the board.

Within an hour, people on several large ships were back on land. Some people who were seasick at sea were carried off the ship by the navy and sent to the already established military camp.

A group of landlubbers who were going to sea for the first time wiped their heads and faces with dry cloths in twos and threes. Their wet clothes had long been removed. The temperature on the island was a bit low, and many people were so cold that they wrapped themselves in quilts and shivered. Fortunately, there were people who stayed on the island soon. The soldiers from the field brought firewood to the brazier, and the flames lit brought some warmth to the house.

"Captain Han, can't we just stay like this?"

Among the soldiers gathered in twos and threes, someone surrounded the young man with a ruffian face and asked softly.

"What will happen if you don't stay?" The young man surnamed Han squatted on the ground and looked at the roof, ignoring the idiot who asked: "I am now alone overseas, can you find a place for me to escape?"

"What is Liangshan doing? Why did he build a stronghold in the sea?"

"Could it be that they want to rob passing merchant ships? I heard that these merchants are all rich."

"Of course that's the case. I saw something strange about the ship next to me before. It doesn't look like ours from the Song Dynasty. Maybe it's a foreign ship that he robbed after killing all the people."

While talking in a flurry, someone next to him pushed the team officer with his shoulder: "Captain Han, what are you talking about?"

Wiping the corner of his mouth, the arrogant young man looked thoughtful: "The Sa family doesn't know what he wants to do. He knows too little, but..."

He touched his chin and said slowly: "It doesn't look like he's trying to rob passing merchants."

"Maybe so."

"Captain Han has always been intuitive and accurate. When he says no, he means no."

The words were definitely spoken, but Captain Han over there was still scratching his chin and thinking, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

Outside Yuncheng.

After the war, Yuncheng seemed to have no impact. The people and residents were still doing what they were doing. From time to time, people were rushing in and out of the city gate, and there were also big men carrying burdens walking in, wanting to make a living here.

Song Jiang was sitting at the table at home, writing down the instructions given by the county magistrate Shi Wenbin in the morning, when he heard the door being banged.

At this moment, Ji Yu raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but reach out and put the memorized documents into the invitation bag. Then he stood up and opened the door. He looked at the person with red spots on his face outside and screamed: "Why is it you?!"
