Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

The sun outside began to set, the red clouds faded, and guards from the palace came forward to light candles.

Lü Bumai walked down and looked at Wanyan Zongbing's half-bloody face, then glanced down at Wanyan Zonghan's legs: "You may have grudges against each other, but now you are all courtiers of Qi State. I don't want to see your corpses carried in front of me one day."

He turned his head and said calmly, "That's all for today. You will go to the Military and Political Department to receive the ten military sticks. I don't want there to be a next time."

"Yes."

Wanyan Zonghan lowered his head and responded again. Wanyan Zongbing, who was standing on the side, did not say a word, but veins bulged on the back of his hand. He loosened his clenched fist and pressed his chest with a pale face.

Suffocated.

Lu Bu didn't pay any attention to them. He looked at the tired faces of Han Shizhong, Xu Wen, Lin Chong and others, clapped his hands, and when he saw the generals looking at him, he looked at Yu Cheng standing in the back and said, "Order the eunuchs to clean the rooms, and let the generals rest in this palace today. The palace maids and the living concubines will be distributed to everyone to take back and warm their beds."

Yu Cheng nodded, strode out of the palace to deliver the message.

Du Fu and Lin Chong were startled and quickly clasped their fists and said, "Your Majesty, we will not need that."

"It's for you, so take it." Lu Bu waved his hand without even looking at the two of them. "Every time you talk about this, you're so pretentious. Be more straightforward. It's better to have a child as soon as possible to continue the family line."

The two men opened their mouths to speak, and Han Shizhong on the side said with a chuckle: "Then I want to have two more wives for myself."

"I'll give you five." Lu Bu laughed and walked outside dragging his cloak: "Don't empty yourself out. Military Advisor and I will come."

All the generals in the room burst into laughter, but Xu Wen had a bitter face. He looked at Lu Bu who was walking out, then looked at Hua Rong who was also embarrassed over there, and immediately sighed.

Let's stay in the military camp today. We already give people a bad impression. If we continue to act recklessly, we will probably be eliminated early.

Is the king targeting me on purpose?

Looking at Han Shizhong who was smiling brightly beside him, Xu Wen scratched his head.

Probably not...

Right?
The Jin Dynasty Palace was not very big. It was originally a Dubu Si. After Wanyan Aguda conquered Huanglongfu, he expanded it. It looked much larger than ordinary courtyards, but after all, it was still a short time, and many areas near the houses were still bare, which looked a bit abrupt.

The sound of insects chirped in the corners and bushes. Lu Bu followed the guards holding lights and walked inside. He brought Yu Cheng, Wang Zheng and a group of guards to the study that originally belonged to Wanyan Sheng. Nearby was the original bedroom.

Yu Cheng was holding a phoenix-head axe and standing outside the room guarding the study door. Wang Zheng walked in and watched the guards come forward to light the lights, take off Lu Bu's armor, and motion for him to sit down.

"Your Majesty, it's time to take a rest. Now that the Yellow Dragon Palace has been taken down, everything is safe. There is no need to work so hard. It won't be too late to handle government affairs tomorrow."

A breeze blew in through the window, and the candlelight flickered gently.

Lu Bu changed into loose clothes, went to sit at the table, picked up the brush on the pen holder, looked at it, called the guard to grind ink, looked at the person opposite him who was a little fidgety, and said, "Some things I am used to writing down first. For example, there are two fine horses in Liaoyang Prefecture. I said at that time that I would reward them to meritorious officials. I didn't expect that I got Wanyan Sheng's precious horse today. This way, there is one more person to reward."

"The king has changed a lot, and yet it seems that he has not changed." Wang Zheng's eyes were a little vague and absent-minded.

How could Lu Bu not know this man's character? He knew what he was thinking by looking at him like this. He looked at him with disdain and said, "The maids and concubines in the Golden Palace are not stunningly beautiful. You look so anxious. I don't see you worrying about how to govern the Huanglong Palace."

"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. Governance is nothing more than using the surrendered ministers of the previous dynasty to stabilize people's hearts, reducing taxes and levies to benefit the people, and then slowly replacing the existing laws with the laws of Qi to make them deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This is a slow process that cannot be rushed." Wang Zheng seemed to be suddenly injected with energy and became energetic. "Girls are different. Zheng has been hanging out in brothels for a long time and has seen all kinds of girls, but this is the first time I have seen a girl in the palace."

There were two blushes on her fair face, and she rubbed her hands with a smile: "They say that the ladies in the palace are good at serving people, I wonder if it's true."

"You look like a loser." Lu Bu glared at him and said, "I should have found you a wife to take care of you."

Wang Zheng pretended to be surprised: "Then the king has offended all the women in the world?" "I think it's the women in the brothel." Lu Bu said unhappily, then waved his hand: "Forget it, it seems that you are not interested in this. It's hard to lead the troops during the day, go and have a rest!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Zheng stood up with a smile and bowed in a standard manner: "I will take my leave."

He retreated slowly. Lü Bu watched his brisk steps from behind and suddenly shook his head and laughed: "This bastard, if he continues like this, he will die in a woman's belly sooner or later."

He exhaled and was about to raise his hand to write down his name, but suddenly stopped.

Could it be that this guy didn't want to get involved in the reward issue so he tried to run away?

Putting down the pen in his hand, Lu Bu felt that this was indeed possible. The reward came from above, and he really shouldn't have been dragged here, but...

This guy could have given us honest advice, but he chose to run away. We can't just let this go.

After thinking about it, Lu Bu's eyes turned and he decided to find a wife to help his subordinate to win his heart, so that he wouldn't have to wait for someone to carry him out of the brothel one day.

He casually picked up the official document on the table and counted the casualties today. The highest number of casualties was at the North Gate, but the number of nearly 500 people was considered bearable. The most gratifying thing was that there was a lot of grain stored in the granary, enough for the army to return to Liaoyang Prefecture with some left over.

Now it all depends on when Wanyan Zonghan can persuade the two southern states to surrender, and the matter of the prefect must also be decided quickly.

There are so many things to think about.

With a sigh in his heart, the figure sitting at the table resigned himself to writing and drawing.

……

Under the same sky.

The night was bleak, and the lit bonfire illuminated hundreds of figures in the woods. Sori Yishi threw dead branches into the fire with a tired look on his face, splashing sparks.

There was a rustling sound coming from behind, passing several smaller fires. Ah Gulan walked into the lighted area here, sat down on the ground, and didn't say a word for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Sori Yishi's throat was a little dry, and he asked hoarsely, reaching out to touch the water bag.

"Huanglongfu has fallen."

The sound made the rough big hand stop, and the dozing figures around sat up straight and looked over. However, the sitting figures did not continue speaking. The sound of burning campfire and chirping insects rang in their ears, making every Jurchen man look stunned.

"How could it be so fast!" Sori Yishi stood up suddenly, and the silence was suddenly broken: "Any news about Bo Jilie?"

"...I saw cavalry carrying Bojilie's body into the city gate." After saying these negative words, Ah Gu Lazi hunched over and said, "Although I didn't see it clearly, I recognize that horse."

The cavalrymen who had broken out of the encirclement on all sides were suddenly in an uproar, and the sound of their whispers instantly drowned out the sound of insects.

"Maybe it's just a horse." The standing figure suddenly leaned down and grabbed Ah Gulan's shoulder: "Maybe the person is fine."

"Maybe." Ah Gu Lan brushed his arm away and glanced at Soli Yishi: "But have you ever thought about what would happen if it is true?"

"……real."

Sori Yishi stepped back and looked up at the sky. (End of this chapter)
