Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 18

The sky darkened, and the evening wind swept over the treetops, grabbed a handful of dead leaves and scattered them into the air, slowly drifting down.

In Lu Bu's room, Deng Fei, Ba Lihaili, Ma Ling, and Qiao Lie sat on both sides. Compared with Ma Ling's excited expression, Deng Fei and Ba Lihaili had a look of tiredness on their faces. After all, military training is also a hard job.

"The leader asked us to come, I wonder what's the matter?" Ba Lihaili looked at Ma and Qiao who were facing each other and nodded. They have been relatively close to each other for a while, and he has also fought against Ma Ling. Let the country boy win.

"Let me tell you." Lu Bu pointed at Ma Ling and said, "Brother Ma Ling has already decided to join us, and he has a certain intention to let him take the fourth position. I don't know what you two think."

Bali Haili smiled, nodded and said, "I have no objection, welcome Brother Ma Ling."

Deng Fei was stunned, then smiled joyfully at Ma Ling, "Brother Ma Ling is welcome, I knew you would join the gang sooner or later."

Deng Fei is an old man, and Ma Ling has been going to Lu Bu's side for the past two days, and asked him and Ba Lihaili about Lu Bu's affairs.

Ma Ling stood up with a smile and saluted the two of them, "I've seen the two elder brothers."

"Brother is very polite."

"My family doesn't need to be like this."

Deng Fei and Ba Lihaili hurriedly returned the gift.

Lu Bu waited for them to finish seeing the ceremony, and said: "I will inform the brothers later, I will let Brother Ma Ling show his hands in front of everyone tomorrow, and I call you here today because there are other important matters."

"Brother, please tell me." Deng Fei said solemnly.

At the side, Bali Haili also straightened up and pretended to be listening.

Lu Bu lightly tapped the table with his finger and said, "I had a talk with Brother Qiao Lie today and decided to go south to the Song Kingdom."

Deng Fei and Bali Haili looked at each other, and Bali Haili said: "I said it before, I obeyed the leader's order."

Deng Fei said nothing, just nodded his head.

Lu Bu was a little surprised. He didn't expect the two to agree readily. After all, they were going to another country. Deng Fei could understand it. After all, he was from the Song Dynasty. Didn't he even think about it in the Caspian Sea?Can't help wondering: "You two don't ask why?"

"This heart was handed over to Ye when the leader was broken by me." Ba Lihaili thumped his chest heavily.

Deng Fei also smiled and said: "I have wandered around the rivers and lakes for many years, but I have never met anyone who loves my brother as much as my brother. I will entrust my life to my brother."

It turned out to be the case.

Lu Bu suddenly realized that he was a prince after all, and his trusted generals were all warriors, so he understood the thoughts of warriors very well. As long as this kind of man admires you, he is really willing to be with you. Going up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire is much easier to deal with than scholars.

Therefore, every time more dogs are slaughtered in righteousness, most of them are scholars.Dealing with straight-hearted warriors is to be straightforward.

At that moment, he nodded with a faint smile and said: "Brothers, I know very well what you are waiting for, and I will never let you down."

The three of Deng Fei all looked agitated, and they all patted their chests and swore that they would follow their brother forever.

Qiao Lie watched with cold eyes, and found that Lu Bu was comforting Deng Fei and the three rough people with a pleasant expression from the beginning to the end. Because of this, I always felt that this person was a shallow person in the city, and he couldn't accomplish anything big.

Unexpectedly, looking at this person now, it is clear that he is not surprised by honor or disgrace. He can not only withstand the blow of the destruction of his foundation, but also make his brothers fall in love with him. He is a leader.

How did he know that Lu Bu's experience was so rich that a man like him wandering in the green forest could never imagine.

However, I have to observe and observe again. This person is excellent, and that's the name... Tsk, it's too unlucky. If his name is Cao Cao Zhemo, I will join the gang.Qiao Lie took a sip of tea, squinted his eyes and thought.

After finally waiting for the three men above to stop, Lu Bu said, "Since the brothers all agree, then make preparations as soon as possible. It won't be surprising when the things about me waiting in the village are leaked."

"Brother, don't worry, let's save it. The brother who has a fever has calmed down now, but he is a little weak, and he may not be able to ride a horse." Deng Fei said worriedly.

Lu Bu smiled: "This matter is easy to handle. I don't want to go by land, so I don't think it will be too uncomfortable."

"Walk by water?"

Deng Fei and Bali Haili looked at each other, and then they both shouted together: "Zhao, why didn't I expect that there is a waterway."

Lu Bu shook his head and said, "I didn't expect this matter, brother Qiao Lie told me about it."

Deng Fei picked Thumbs up and said to Qiao Lie, "Brother, this is a good idea."

Qiao Lie waved his hands again and again and said: "Poverty's method is nothing. Brothers are just fans of the authorities and didn't think of it for a while."

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "Brother Qiao Lie, you don't need to be humble, here are all straightforward men, and they won't complain because they are less thoughtful than you."

The others all nodded.

Qiao Lie smiled, getting along with such a group of people is indeed very relaxed, not so careful, which is good.

Lu Bu thought about it: "I also want Brother Qiao Lie and Brother Ma Ling to find a boat early tomorrow morning. The money needed will be collected from Brother Deng Fei. Brother Haili will notify Erlang below, prepare your bags and be ready to go at any time, and everything else as usual."

"no problem."

"Don't worry, brother."

"Leader, don't worry."

All of a sudden, everyone rose up in response to the sound, and then went out.

……

In the same sky, Xianghe County, a low-rise residential building.

In the dimly lit room, more than a dozen men shouted and shouted with red eyes. After a while, most of them looked depressed after the banker's opening, took out the money and threw it on the table, shouting cursingly to continue, and some threw the money with a look of embarrassment. Ugly, turned around and walked out.

"Bold man, the money is gone, what should we do now?" Among the people who came out, a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion anxiously looked at the bald head beside him and asked.

"Hey! What can I do." The man who was called boldly spit and said, "Go home and sleep, what else can I do."

"Your aunt asked me to buy medicine for the child. If you lose the money, your nephew will not be able to survive, and I will not be beaten to death by your aunt." hold on.

"Ma San'er, it's not my fault that you lost money. I didn't ask you to come. It was you who begged Bai Laifei to follow me and tell me to open your eyes. Seeing people win money makes you want to gamble. I stop you. If you don’t listen, I’ll lose everything now, it’s not on me.” Boldly rolled his eyes and said helplessly, although Boldly is a bad gambler, he wants to gamble if he has money, but he’s dead in every way. But there is one good thing, this person admits defeat, even if he loses everything, he will not be procrastinating, but he didn't expect that Ma San'er could afford to lose even once.

Ma San'er grabbed Bolder's arm and said: "No, we came together, you have to help me, otherwise I will never finish with you today."

Boldly pulled his arm impatiently and didn't pull it out, said anxiously: "Hey, I said you are unreasonable, you lose money by yourself, if you have the ability, let my aunt go to those bird people to ask for it. Tell me there is a bird here?"

I don't know where this sentence hit Ma San'er's heart, so he was so stunned. Boldly took advantage of the situation and pulled his arm out, secretly said bad luck, curled his lips and walked away quickly, muttering in his mouth, "I will never talk to you again." Birdman came out together, it doesn't mean anything," Yun Yun.

Ma San'er saw that Boldly went away and didn't bother him any more. Just now when he said, "Let my aunt go find those people again", he suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, and there was only one thought in his mind: find that group of people want?Isn't that group of people themselves walking rewards? It's better to find the government than to find a strong man!
"Hiss——" Ma San'er took a deep breath, thinking about it like a river and a sea in his heart, thinking for a while that he couldn't do this, the gang of thieves helped our village anyway, wouldn't selling them be worse than beasts?After a while, I thought it was a gang of thieves after all, and the money was all obtained by robbing peasants like us. I sued them, and no one will be persecuted by this gang of thieves in the future. Isn't it a blessing?
After thinking about it, thinking about it, the more Ma San'er thought about it, the more he felt that he was doing good deeds for himself and for the people of the world. With a sense of mission, he walked towards the Yamen with firm eyes.

However, Zhou Tang, magistrate of Xianghe County, finished his official duties and was about to go home to rest. He might as well inspect Zhao Zhe to report that someone had come to show his leadership. bring it here.

When Ma San'er came in and saw the county magistrate, he couldn't help kneeling on the ground, lying on the ground with his buttocks pouted, and said, "I've seen my old parents."

Zhou Tang gave a "hmm", glanced at him, lowered his eyelids and said, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Ma San'er didn't dare to raise his head, lying on the ground and said: "The villain is Ma San'er from Majiazhuang outside the city. Today, a group of horse thieves came here. Those fellows killed a group of officers and soldiers a few days ago and occupied the Our village, please help the old parents!"

"Oh?" Zhou Tang said, he couldn't help sitting upright, killing the officers and soldiers was a rebellion, he couldn't help but asked eagerly: "Where are the officers and soldiers? When did you kill them? How many did you kill? Do you know who is the leader of that group? "

"This... I really don't know. The villain only knows that it was the officers and soldiers who killed the day before yesterday. About... about dozens of people. After killing everyone, that group occupied our village. I don't know who is the leader, but one of them is a Taoist priest. The Dharma name is Daoqing." Ma San'er was very nervous, his eyes were wide open, how dare he tell the truth?Besides, not much is known.

He went back late that day and escaped the killing of the officers and soldiers, but he was terribly afraid when he was in the village. Even if the gang of horse thieves gave him money, he didn't dare to get close to them, not to mention that the horse thieves were also smart and didn't report his name.His mother-in-law was willing to communicate with Taoists among those people, but Qiao Lie was also vigilant and only told her Taoist name.

Zhou Tang repeatedly asked about the identities of the officers and soldiers, but Ma San'er only said that he didn't know, his face turned red in a hurry and swore, Zhou Tang knew it might be true, so he turned his eyes to the inspector Zhao Zhe, "Dao Qing , is there such a person?"

Zhao Zhe understood what the county magistrate wanted to ask, thought for a while and said, "My lord, there is no Taoist in the official document of the sea arrest recently."

"Oh? That's a bunch of new thieves." Zhou Tang heaved a sigh of relief. It's not just old thieves. There are usually not many thieves who have fallen into the grass, and most of them are not good at it. He turned to look at Ma San'er and asked. : "How many thieves are there?"

"But around sixty, almost all of them are injured, and some of them have fever." Ma San'er replied, he still knows this, after all, the mother-in-law has nagged about it, saying that if it wasn't for this group of horse thieves Some people had a fever, and it was estimated that they would not be able to come to the village, and the village was slaughtered by officers and soldiers.

"Yeah." Zhou Tang nodded, there are so few people, that's right, they are some arrogant people who don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and Zhe Mo was injured in the fight with the officers and soldiers before, so there shouldn't be much threat.

Looking at Zhao Zhe right now, he said, "Inspector Zhao, bring your capable men to catch these thieves, and then the county will help you."

"Follow your lord's order." Zhao Zhe bowed, kicked Ma San'er off and said, "Go, take me to your village."

"Hey, hey." Ma San'er stood up quickly, rubbed his hands together and said with a flattering smile, "I wonder if there will be a reward for this gang of thieves?"

Zhao Zhe was used to such faces, so he just sneered and said, "When the thief is caught, I will reward you, now hurry out."

Ma San'er repeatedly agreed, bent over and trotted out.

Zhao Zhechong saluted the county magistrate, and went to recruit people to go to Majia Village.
