Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 17
The autumn wind blows, and the branches and leaves on the trees seem to have changed their clothes overnight, putting on golden coats one after another. ,

Lu Bu was holding Fang Tian's painted halberd and stood quietly in the middle of the forest with his eyes closed. Qiao Lie and Ma Ling stood in front of him. Qiao Lie was holding a long sword, and Ma Ling was holding his black iron gun. The momentum of the horn is facing Lu Bu.

"Whoo~"

Lv Bu let out a breath, opened his eyes suddenly, the whole person's momentum changed suddenly, his figure seemed to fill the whole world, the movement in the forest seemed to be cut off, the movement of the world stopped, and then Fang Tian painted a halberd like a shooting star. With a red tail flame, he drew a mysterious arc to kill Ma Ling.

bang——

Raising the black iron spear to meet him, Ma Ling was ready to be suppressed by a halberd and prepared to create opportunities for Qiao Lie, but he didn't expect that although the meeting was full of strength, Fang Tian's painted halberd seemed to be burned General suddenly raised his head and slashed towards Qiao Lie like lightning.

"Brother Joe, be careful!"

Ma Ling gritted his teeth and reminded.

Over there, Qiao Lie was waiting for Ma Ling to take over the powerful and heavy halberd, so he could take advantage of the situation to sneak attack, but he didn't expect Fang Tian's painted halberd to be lifted as lightly as possible, it bounced off the gun shaft as soon as it hit it, and swiped towards him with lightning speed .

"Good come!"

Qiao Lie breathed out, stepped on the seven-star step, and dodged shortly. The long sword in his hand straightened out like lightning and pierced Lu Bu's arm, intending to force him to abandon the halberd.

Unexpectedly, he was fast, and Lu Bu was even faster. Fang Tianji suddenly appeared in the path of the long sword, sank and twisted, the ears of the halberd locked the long sword, and then Lu Bu exerted all his force, Qiao Lie couldn't bear the strength, and the long sword in his hand immediately dropped .

At this time Ma Ling also attacked, Lu Bu walked steadily, turned around and let the black iron spear stab at the same time, and slashed down with one-handed halberd.

"Brother, we lost again."

Lu Bu smiled lightly, and said to Ma Ling who was in front of him.

"Brother is good at martial arts."

Ma Ling smiled bitterly, looking at the gleaming halberd blade beside his neck, knowing that he would not be hurt, goose bumps still appeared on his neck.

Lu Bu and others have been staying in this village for two days. After all, the village has been helped by others, and the simple thoughts of the farmers can't drive them out, not to mention that Deng Fei also took out ten ingots of silver.There was a massacre that day, and more than a dozen young men died in the village. These ten ingots of silver can more or less make up for their livelihood.

Lu Bu and the others were also very happy. Not only did the feverish brothers have a place to rest, but there were also a lot of spoils to share.

Although the combat effectiveness of this group of Liao army soldiers is not good, but relying on the relationship between the capital, the equipment is really good. They are all cowhide armor with good protection. After this melee, there are still more than 30 soldiers. The collar leather armor is available, and with the general's iron armor, this group of horse thieves ushered in a major change of clothes.It's a pity that except for Lu Bu, almost everyone has wounds on their bodies, and a small number of people need to rest for a while, so Lu Bu's training plan has not been able to start.

Qiao Lie didn't leave either. He was very interested in Lu Bu and his group. Coupled with his temperament of making friends, he found that Lu Bu and others were not unreasonable people, so he simply stayed.

Ma Ling was the happiest of them staying here. This ignorant man who hadn't left the village to wander around was very curious about everything. Seeing that Lu Bu and others were easy to talk to, this guy pestered him and asked Lu Bu to help him from time to time. , It’s just that he loses miserably every time, so that the young people who think they are good at martial arts are often puzzled. If they can’t win Deng Fei, they will have no self-confidence.

The same is true for Qiao Lie. Ever since Lu Bu charged into the battle alone and killed countless Liao soldiers, he became interested in it. Seeing that Ma Ling couldn't win, he went up by himself, but he was defeated in three or five rounds. He has also suffered setbacks from those with high martial arts skills, and he is not as brooding about it as Ma Ling.

But not being able to win once made Qiao Lie feel unwilling. The two losers combined and wanted to fight Lu Bu once. He thought he and Ma Ling could last a few more rounds, but he didn't expect to lose faster. This time But it was really a bit of a blow.

It's just that this contest also let Qiao Lie know that the martial arts strength of the person in front of him is beyond his own measure, and it might be possible to change his best friend.

"I didn't expect there to be a man with such superb martial arts skills as my brother in Liao." Qiao Lie picked up his long sword and walked over with a wry smile.

"A trivial trick is nothing." Lu Bu shook his head.

Martial arts are really nothing to him, who is he, Lu Bu, the "flying general" killed by the court, who is invincible in the eyes of the [-]th princes, he will be alone in every step, otherwise Dong Zhuo's eyes are higher than the top People would not let him be a guard to protect his safety. Later, there was a compliment of "Lu Bu among men, red rabbit among horses".

However, with the fall of the Baimen Tower, the pride of all this made him sober. Although the force far beyond ordinary people can help him, but when he becomes the leader of a force, force seems to be less important, so I listened to Qiao Lie's praise was as calm as water, without any fluctuations.

On the contrary, at this moment he knows that talent is what he should pursue.

If Xuzhou Shi had a virtuous minister like Xun Yu, or the Xuzhou family was loyal to him, wouldn't it be...

No!Compared with Cao Mengde and Liu Daer, there is also a problem with a certain way of doing things.

"What is brother thinking?" Seeing Lu Bu lost in thought, Qiao Lie couldn't help asking, he also admired Lu Bu's martial arts, and later learned about Lu Bu's bravery in breaking the formation from Deng Fei, so he followed Ma Ling and called him brother.

Lu Bu suddenly came back to his senses, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. It was too disrespectful to talk to people, but he couldn't help thinking about it, and it was all because he was not reconciled.

"Brother, isn't he thinking about the encirclement and suppression by the army?" Ma Ling asked carelessly.

"That's right." Lu Bu nodded, not used to lying, he simply went downhill.

When everyone wanted to borrow the village before, Lu Bu confessed his identity, and bluntly said that he and others broke through the siege of the government and army to come here, but left a bright and upright impression on Ma Ling and Qiao Lie.

"It's really not easy." Qiao Lie stroked his chin and said, "Brother has only six or seventy people under his command, which is really too small."

"Let me tell you, brother, it's better to find a big mountain to drill, when the group of dog officers and soldiers can't find anyone to leave, wouldn't it be good for brother to come out again?" Ma Ling didn't have any good ideas, the only thing he could think of was hiding words.

Lu Bu didn't speak, but frowned, obviously unwilling.

"If Pindao is that dog official, I'm afraid I won't let my brother go." Qiao Lie thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Pindao went to Jizhou some time ago and lived in the city for a day or two. I heard from the people that the new guard He is a well-known virtuous king of the royal family, he is good at governing the people and fighting wars, and he is a good official who thinks about what the people think."

"It's strange, what kind of virtuous king does the royal family have?" Ma Ling's big mouth almost reached his ears. He had only seen the Khitan nobles who oppressed the Han people since he was a child, but he never saw the prince who spoke for the Han people.

"A good official won't let someone go?" Lu Bu glanced at Ma Ling, then looked at Qiao Lie and asked.

Qiao Lie nodded and said: "If you are greedy, you will naturally have no profit. If no one is watching, you can find a way to prevaricate even the emperor's order. Besides, the suppression of bandits involves assessment. Banditry, in the evaluation, it is necessary to get a bad review. It’s okay if the success of the suppression is successful, or the merits and demerits are offset, or the merits outweigh the demerits; The unlucky thing is that they lose their official titles, so corrupt officials will not touch the name of gangsters. But good officials are different. Even if they lose their lives, these people still have to do things for the country, let alone this As a royal family, there is no worry about evaluation. My brother broke through his siege of 200 people with 800 people. I am afraid that my brother is very dangerous in his heart. Either he will be wiped out, or his brother will be recruited by him."

"Nanjing Road is not his, but he has a big face, these dog officials like to listen to him?" Ma Ling refused to accept it, and shouted with his neck stuck.

Qiao Lie smiled wryly when he heard the words: "Brother, it would be fine if he wasn't from the royal family, but he is the emperor's brother. Who would disrespect him? Even if he crosses the border to pursue Zhemo, no one will stop him."

Ma Lingjian had no words to say, but just looked at his expression and was very indignant for Lu Bu.

Lu Bu thought about it, and felt that what Qiao Lie said made sense. If his soldiers and horses were defeated by horse thieves, he might be ashamed at the beginning, but in the end he would have the idea of ​​taking them for his own use. If you have good intentions and dare to stab someone on your own territory, you must be hunting him down to death before you give up.

"Looks like it's time to leave Nanjing Road." Lu Bu sighed, although he said regret, but there was a strange feeling in his heart, as if...

Excited?
"I don't know where brother wants to go?" Qiao Lie's eyes flickered and asked, "Xijing Road or Tokyo Road?"

Lu Bu thought for a while, then looked south with a pair of tiger eyes with a hint of nostalgia: "Song Kingdom."

I should go and have a look. I don’t know if the fire has left an indelible scar on Luoyang. I hope that after nearly a thousand years, it will return to its previous appearance. No, I hope it will be better than before.And Xuzhou, I don't know if there is a certain legend...

but
usually
Is it gone?
"Brother is so courageous." Qiao Lie's eyes widened. Everyone said that the homeland is hard to leave. In fact, it is the same for the green forest forces. The green forest guys from the Liao Kingdom are going to develop in the Song Dynasty. It's okay for the dragon to cross the river, but I'm afraid that the strong dragon won't be able to suppress the local snake and will be swallowed instead.

He didn't know that Lv Bu's desire to go to Song State was getting stronger and stronger recently. These words were completely sincere. Even if there was no reason for the encirclement and suppression by Liao State officers and soldiers, he would go to Song State to live sooner or later.

I don't want to hear Ma Ling's heart move, secretly thought that he always wanted to go out for a while, but he couldn't make it due to various reasons. He killed so many officers and soldiers this time, he will be found out sooner or later, and he will still run away and die.

This Lu Bu elder brother is skilled in martial arts, and he is also straightforward. I heard from his third-ranked Khitan man that this leader, Lu Bu, is extremely loyal. Run first, where to find such a leader, even if he is temporarily sleepy, Zhemo can still be sleepy for a lifetime?It's better to join the gang now and go to the Song country with him, it's not in vain for me to travel in the world.

Looking at Lu Bu right now, he said, "If my brother doesn't dislike my low ability, I would like to go to Song Kingdom with my brother."

Waking up the dreamer with a word, Lu Buqiao looked at Ma Ling with four pairs of eyes in amazement, and saw that his face was solemn, calm, and his eyes were serious.

Lu Bu stared at Ma Ling and asked nonchalantly, "Have you figured it out?"

Ma Ling finally understood, and nodded: "I think clearly."

"What should we do at home?" Lu Bu looked into Ma Ling's eyes with a sullen face.

Ma Ling shook his head, and said without hesitation: "I am the only one left in my family, and I will not be able to stay in the village for the rest of my life."

Lu Bu stared at him for a long while, said no more, and nodded: "Then let's go with XX."

Ma Ling waved his fist excitedly, then grinned, lowered his head and clasped his fists and said, "Ma Ling has seen my brother, and I am willing to lead the horse and throw the stirrup for my brother."

Seeing this, Qiao Lie was a little embarrassed. Although he was close to Ma Ling and Lu Bu, he had his own little calculations in his heart, and he had no intention of immediately voting for Lu Bu. At this time, seeing Ma Ling worshiping his brother face to face, he did not move, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Can't make it through.

Lu Bu saw Qiao Lie's embarrassment, and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "If you don't beg me, Zhemo is not a brother anymore? Anyway, you also called a certain number of elder brothers. How can an elder brother persecute a brother."

Qiao Lie was very moved when he saw what he said, he cupped his hands to express his thanks, and said, "Brother is going to Song Kingdom, I have an idea here in Pindao, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Oh?" Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, "But it's okay to say."

Under the shade of the tree, the young man in Taoist robe whispered, and the tall and mighty figure kept nodding. The autumn wind blew, and the "rustling" sound of the treetops covered the voice in more detail.
