Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

In front of the two people sitting opposite each other were wine, seasonal fruits, two plates of pickled vegetables and some chopped meat. The King of Qi was putting down his wine glass after he finished speaking.

"The seasons rotate, and winter will come sooner or later."

Deng Fei was sitting in a wheelchair with a woolen blanket covering his legs. Perhaps because he had no worries about food and drink recently, he had gained some weight and was no longer as thin as he was in Hesu Pavilion. He slightly raised his face, and looked somewhat serene in the sunlight.

"I heard that your concubines haven't gotten pregnant yet?"

The words that came to his ears successfully broke the Fiery Eyes Suanni's plan. Looking at the mischievous smile on Lü Bu's face, he looked somewhat helpless and changed the subject, "I am not in a hurry. It's your Majesty. Two months ago, Sanniang and Jinniang gave birth to a son and a daughter respectively. It is indeed enviable."

In the early autumn, Hu Sanniang and Su Jinniang gave birth to their children one day apart. The former was a daughter. Because there was a birthmark on her shoulder that looked like an orchid, Lu Bu named her Lu Lan.

The latter gave birth to a son. When he cried, the birds outside were startled and flew away, so he was named Qun, which was taken from Qu Yuan's "Heavenly Questions": "The birds are flying in flocks."

"Hahaha..." Lu Bu smiled and said, "You should really envy me. I already have a son and two daughters..." He reached out and touched the short beard on his chin, thinking, "You should let Doctor Jiang take a look at you. It's been more than a year."

"My Lord!" Deng Fei's voice was a little louder, and the redness of his eyes seemed to infect his face: "Didn't you have Wen'er for more than a year at that time?"

Lu Bu raised his hand to pick up the wine glass, and raised his eyebrow: "I now have a son and two daughters."

"..." Deng Fei was furious.

"That's it, I won't tease you anymore."

The tall figure smiled and waved. The eunuchs who were waiting in the distance came trotting over and raised the wooden tray in their hands above their heads. Lu Bu picked up a token and threw it over: "Last year, I told you that if you were willing to move around, you could become a censor to deal with injustices. Now that your body is almost recovered, if you feel like moving around, you might as well go out for a walk."

Deng Fei reached out to take it. The token was silver in color with intricate patterns on both sides. There was a tiger head on the top of the token and cloud patterns underneath. The word "Yushi" was written on the front and his name was written on the side. On the back was carved the words "Supervise the World" in small seal script.

Lu Bu's voice continued to come into my ears.

"You, the Imperial Censor, are different from others. I will allow you to execute first and report later." He reached out and picked up half of the tiger talisman, leaned forward, and placed it in front of Deng Fei: "This is the tiger talisman I will equip you with. They are all soldiers over 45 years old in the army, and they are all veterans of hundreds of battles. I will give you 300 people, bows, crossbows, and armor for you to use."

Deng Fei was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Don't thank me yet." Lu Bu stretched out his hand, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I need you to bring someone with you."

Deng Fei looked at him curiously: "I have no problem here, but who is this person?"

"...Qiongying." Lu Bu uttered these two words and pinched his forehead with a headache: "You also know that she is lively and can't sit still. Zaixing is in the military camp again. This girl keeps nagging me to join the army every day. It gives me a headache."

Deng Fei blinked, thinking that the king was being so modest. That young lady was not a lively person at all. She was causing troubles all day long with Niu Tong, Ruan Liang and others in Liaoyang Prefecture. She was clearly a female devil. Everyone in the city knew that she was the king's apprentice, otherwise she would have been arrested and tied up and sent back to the palace...

Ok……

Ok? !

Deng Fei hesitated for a moment: "My lord, you are not..."

Lu Bu nodded, "That's not it." He took a sip from the wine glass and threw a wild fruit into his mouth. "If you want to go out, please bring Qiongying with you. In the past two days, the sisters-in-law of the Ruan family, the sisters-in-law of the Niu family, and Mrs. Huyan have been coming to the palace to complain all day, saying that the children at home are not at home all day and are causing trouble. Wu Qing has been so angry that he has used family rules several times, but Qiongying still doesn't listen."

He spread his hands and said, "She asked me, her master, to find a solution. You said I can't really hit her. If something happens to her, won't Wu Qing be the one who will feel the pain? So after thinking about it, I can only ask you, brother, for help."

"Uh..." Deng Fei opened his mouth and nodded with some difficulty: "I... no problem." Then he leaned back with a hesitant expression on his face: "But... what if, what if Qiongying doesn't listen to me? If she wants to run away... I can't catch her."

Lu Bu touched his chin and said, "How about this, you will come back one day after you go out, and tell her that if she doesn't listen to you, don't even think about going out with her next time." He looked somewhat helpless and said, "This...maybe it will make her calm down a little."

"...Then I'll give it a try." Deng Fei nodded, picked up the wine pot next to him that was being heated in hot water and poured himself a glass. "When will I set out?"

"You decide for yourself." Lu Bu smiled faintly, "When you are ready, just tell me."

"Okay." Deng Fei nodded, his fiery red eyes rolling around: "I wonder what Qiongying is doing now?"

The King of Qi stopped chewing his meat and shook his head: "I don't know..."

……

On one side of Liaoyang Prefecture is the residence of the Wanyan brothers.

Footsteps sounded hurriedly, and the shadows of people were cast on the wall by the sunlight. There were people of different heights, men and women. Looking up, Qiu Qiongying, who was just beginning to show her figure, was walking quickly towards the gate of Wanyan's house with a few young boys. The gate at the end of the street creaked open, and a boy with two pigtails tied behind his head walked out. He had thick eyebrows that were different from those of ordinary people, two black spots on his face, and a cracked mouth. He was frowning at the young men and women who were walking over.

"What? Didn't you get enough yesterday? Do you want another fight today?"

Qiu Qiongying, who looked like a hot pepper, took two steps forward and frowned, "What are you asking for? Don't you know how badly you've been injured? You're still so arrogant even though you've been defeated."

Danzi snorted, pointed behind Qiongying, and said sarcastically: "Look at them before you say that."

Looking past Qiongying, except for Niu Tong, whose eyes were rolling around and who knew what bad ideas he was thinking, the three boys, Ruan Liang, Huyan Yu and Sun Yue, were no less seriously injured than the boy in front of them whose nickname was Danzi. Sun Yue had a fist mark on one of his eyes, Huyan Yu had a bulge on his left cheek, and Ruan Liang was the worst off, with both cheeks swollen and his eyes looking like a panda.

Qiongying said without even turning her head: "That was because the three of them were unprepared and were attacked by you. If they had known you were so arrogant, they would have beaten you to a pulp."

"Arrogant? You are the ones who are unreasonable." Danzi jumped up, his eyes spitting fire from under his black eyebrows: "I took a fancy to that candy figurine first. If you hadn't insisted on snatching it away, there would have been no fight."

"what?"

Qiongying was stunned, blinked her beautiful almond eyes, took a small step back, and touched Niu Tong beside her with her arm: "What sugar man? There was no such thing when you told me."

Niu Tong was no more than seven or eight years old, but he looked like a boy of twelve or thirteen. Hearing this, he glanced away and muttered, "I've already beaten him, why is it so important?"

Qiongying looked back at Huyan Yu and Ruan Liang. One of them was looking up at the sky, while the other was looking down at the dirt on the ground. She then cast her gaze on her younger sister Huyan Yuying, and saw her hiding behind Huyan Yu. She immediately realized that she was probably not in the right in this matter.

Danzi took two steps forward and hummed, "If you want to fight, hurry up. I'll accompany you to the end." He couldn't help but complain, "Anyway, I don't have anyone to rely on in this city. I just want to find someone to fight with."

"What do you mean?" Qiongying frowned and looked at him. Seeing that his thick eyebrows were almost connected into one line, she found it funny and couldn't help but burst out laughing. She also let out the anger in her heart: "Forget it, forget it. I can't do this kind of thing to fight for a sugar man. If Master finds out, I'm afraid he will punish me to chop with a knife for a few more days."

Danzi looked at them and curled his lips. He knew that there were more people on the other side, and they were all older than him. But he was not the kind of person who would be tortured to death. He did not insist on dragging people to fight. He said in a muffled voice: "Don't want to fight anymore? If you don't want to fight, I'll go back."

As he said that, he was about to go back.

Qiu Qiongying thought for a moment and called out, "Hey, do you live here alone?"

The ball stopped, turned around and shook his head: "No, I have several uncles living here with me."

"Then you still say you have no one to rely on?" Qiu Qiongying looked up and down at Danzi, and saw that he looked a little depressed. She turned back to look at her friends who were smiling awkwardly, and waved her hand: "Forget it, we didn't know each other until we fought. Come with me, I'll buy you some sugar water."

"Really?" Danzi was only six or seven years old after all, and he was overjoyed when he heard that there was sugar water to drink.

"Of course it's true." Qiongying said, then turned around to look at Niu Tong, Ruan Liang and the others, glared at them first, and then said, "You guys go too, I'll treat you today."

"Oh……"

Huyan Yu and the others looked at each other and responded. Then a group of children followed Qiongying to the street market, found a shop selling sweet soup and sat down. Qiongying ordered a bowl for each of them as she said.

Watching the few people sipping their drinks, the girl looked at the marbles with some curiosity: "You said your uncles are all here, so why are you still alone? Isn't that a contradiction?"

Danzi shook his head, put down the sugar water, and snorted coldly: "I am helpless."

The conflicts between children come and go quickly. Although they had fought before, Danzi was not a person who held grudges. Besides, he had been in Liaoyang Prefecture for half a year and was very frustrated. He said, "My uncles and aunts have a grudge against my father, so how can they care about me?"

"Then why are you..." Huyan Yuying also became curious.

"I didn't know at first..." Danzi's face was full of helplessness: "When I was in Huanglong Prefecture, no one told me anything. As a result, my uncle came to my house and said he wanted to take me out to play, so I believed him. I was led all the way to Liaoyang Prefecture. I didn't know that the uncles here all had grudges against my father. Now it's too late to leave."

After taking a sip of sugar water, he said, "Fortunately, I was smart enough to pretend I didn't know. Otherwise, I would have been locked in the room and starved to death."

"Is that so..." Several young men and women looked at each other, and for a moment they felt sympathy for the boy in front of them.

Qiu Qiongying blinked and slapped the table: "Okay, you will follow me from now on. No matter how big Liaoyang Prefecture is, no one can be bigger than my master. If your uncle bullies you in the future, tell me and I will help you vent your anger."

"Really?"

The boy was overjoyed. (End of this chapter)
