Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 20

With Ma Ling's words, Ma San'er jumped up excitedly, and saw the middle-aged man's face flushed with excitement, he jumped to point at Ma Ling and said to Zhao Zhe, "My lord, you are the horse thief who is colluding with this fellow, you want to decide for us ah."

Zhao Zhe wished he could tear Ma San'er's mouth off. He was about to turn around and run away in silence, but the guy didn't wink at him, so he opened his mouth and yelled, revealing his identity as the master. It's strange not to focus on yourself.

Sure enough, Lu Bu shifted his gaze to Zhao Zhe immediately after hearing the words.

Just as Zhao Zhe was about to speak, he saw Lu Bu suddenly appearing in front of him with his long legs striding forward, taking three steps at a time. His majestic body blocked his entire line of sight, and a pair of tiger eyes stared at him intently, as if he had been fixed. soul.Immediately, Fang Tianji, which was shining with cold light, struck down on his head with the momentum of thunder.

Straight girl thief, why don't you communicate first?This thief is so unruly!

Zhao Zhe scolded his mother in his heart, he had never seen such a resolute thief who would kill without saying a word.

In the eyes of others, Zhao Zhe just stood there like a fool, staring at the halberd getting closer and bigger without blinking.

With a muffled sound of sharp blades cutting flesh, half of Zhao Zhe's body separated and flew into the air with splashed blood.

"Inspection!"

The thief arresting officer next to him exclaimed, and saw a cold light flashing in front of his eyes, his eyes suddenly raised and turned, and the last scene that caught his eyes was the man wielding the Fang Tianji, picking up Pegasus Saner and charging into the crowd .

whoosh-

Swah——

Ma Ling and Bali Haili on the house saw that Lu Bu had made a move, and immediately one shot an arrow and the other threw a gold brick.

"Uh……"

A slender black shadow hit the chest of a robber officer on the side with the sound of strong wind, and the man immediately fell down clutching his chest, struggled twice and was silent.

puff--

The golden square hit a person's forehead, and immediately the golden color was covered with a touch of dark red. Ma Ling held a black iron gun and ran over to stab the two of them to death. When he got up and turned his head to look for new enemies, he saw Lu Bu standing in the field, surrounded by dead bodies, the last one was being kicked by him until he held a painting halberd upside down with one hand and nailed him to the ground, his eyes widened The appearance of grabbing the painting halberd, it is obvious that he will not rest in peace.

In front of Lu Bu, dozens of yamen servants lost their courage and ran towards the outside of the village.

"Brother Shenwei." Ma Ling's eyes were dull, and he murmured as he looked at the man who pulled Fang Tianji up.

"Why are you in a daze? It's still a time of war. Be alert." Lu Bu came over and patted Ma Ling's shoulder. He had seen this kind of look a lot. Before he was defeated by Cao Cao, it was common in the Bingzhou Army. look.

"Yes." Ma Ling shivered, and somehow stood up straight.

Lu Bu glanced at the yamen servant who was running away with his halberd in his hand, he was too lazy to chase, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the village, only to see blood and corpses all over the ground, Deng Fei and others had already rushed out of the village, but unfortunately tonight the moon appeared and disappeared, and the horse thief without a torch Unable to pursue the fleeing Liao soldiers, they had to turn around and make up for the wounded soldiers who had not died one by one.

"Brother, most of the bird officers and soldiers have run away. It's too dark tonight, brothers can't pursue them." Deng Fei yelled when he saw Lu Bu approaching.

"Thank you, brothers." Lu Bujian nodded and said, "Clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, and then let the brothers rest. This group of officers and soldiers will be here in Xianghe County tonight. If they don't have the guts to send another person, they should be able to sleep well. Jue, I’m just waiting for tomorrow’s Maoshi early departure.”

Deng Fei nodded.

Ma Ling followed up and said, "Brother, the one who leaked our whereabouts is Ma San'er from the village."

Before he finished speaking, Deng Fei said angrily: "Straight mother thief! How dare this fellow betrayed us, if brother hadn't arranged for someone to guard us, he would have succeeded, I will go and kill him right now."

Ma Ling smiled wryly, stopped Deng Fei and said: "Brother Deng Fei wait a moment, that guy has been killed by his brother, but who are you looking for?"

"Forget that guy's fate." Deng Fei was indignant.

The rest of the people couldn't laugh or cry when they heard the words. It's a good fortune telling if everyone is dead. What kind of good is this.

Qiao Lie asked from the side: "Brother Ma Ling hasn't finished talking yet."

Ma Ling nodded: "Then Ma San'er still has a wife and a child. Now that the man is dead, I don't know how he will react."

The rest of the people were silent for a while when they heard the words. They thought they were good men, and they had done this kind of murder before, but they always felt awkward in their hearts after killing a man and then killing women and children.

Lu Bu looked at Deng Fei and said, "How much money do I still have in hand?"

Deng Fei didn't even think about it and said: "There are still a lot. I and all the brothers have hidden some. There are two hundred gold in Zhemo, less than three thousand in silver, and some jewels of unknown value."

"Hey, it's quite a lot." Ma Ling was stunned.

Lu Bu Deng Fei smiled wryly in his heart. It was too much before, but now it is a loss for the rest.

Lu Bu immediately said: "Give the woman five taels of silver, and brothers Deng Fei and Ma Ling will go with a certain one to give some taels of silver to every household in the village to appease them. I guess they will be shocked by the fight tonight."

After thinking for a while, he turned his head to look at Qiao Lie and said, "I also hope Brother Qiao Lie will help calm people's hearts."

Qiao Lie leads you to nod in response.

"Boss, what should I do?" Behind him, Balihai, who came down from the roof, happened to hear him and asked.

Lu Bu looked at him and said, "Brother Haili took a few brothers to check around to see if there are any officers and soldiers lurking nearby."

Ba Lihaili nodded and said: "Don't worry, leader, but if there is someone who is not afraid of death, I will send him to see the King of Hades."

Lu Bu nodded and smiled, and everyone split up immediately.

There was only one thing that happened in the middle, which made people laugh and cry, but it was that although Lu Bu had a good face, after the killing, the evil spirit in his body seemed to be aroused, which made all the villagers tremble when they saw him.Helpless, the others had no choice but to ask him to take a break. As the eldest brother, he could only watch everyone busy and couldn't help, which was interesting.

……

Here, Lu Bu and others cleaned the battlefield, collected the spoils, and appeased the villagers without mentioning it.

Just saying that the surviving officers and soldiers retreated back in defeat, the county magistrate Zhou Tang, who was still awake and waiting for the news, quickly summoned the group of people over, and when the defeated group of soldiers told what happened that night, his face turned pale, and the infantry all felt dizzy. The thieves shot an arrow through the window in the house, and no one dared to make up such a story, even the storyteller, but he asked several people to say the same thing, so he couldn't believe it. None of them came back, presumably they were all beheaded, Zhou Tangguo did not dare to send anyone to Majia Village as Lu Bu expected.

Hastily sent people to the army to remind Haosheng to guard the city tonight and not to open the gate, while writing a letter to Xijin Mansion overnight to ask for help, it seemed that Zhou Tang felt that these bandits were no match for him in the county.

That night, the county magistrate sighed in the house, the young concubine who used to look so beautiful couldn't attract him, so he didn't know how late he went to bed to rest.

……

Early the next morning, taking advantage of the dawn just before dawn, Lu Bu and the others packed up without saying goodbye to the villagers. One man and two horses carried the spoils of war and left Majia Village one after another.

A fight last night made the plan to find a boat completely aborted. Ma Ling and Qiao Lie didn't dare to enter the city at this time to test whether the government had started to arrest them, so they had to run southeast with the brigade.

"It's so aggrieved." Ba Lihaili came up from behind, and said beside Lu Bu, "I thought I could go to the Song Kingdom by boat, but now I'm run away by a villager and have to run on four legs. "

Lu Bu smiled and said, "For a man on horseback like you and me, maybe this is more at ease."

Ba Lihaili was stunned, and laughed loudly: "It's better for the leader to see, yes, we Khitan people are also a nation on horseback, and it's more comfortable to ride a horse."

Qiao Lie said from the side: "You guys are relieved, but I rarely ride a horse, Daoist."

Several people laughed when they heard the words: "Then Brother Qiao Lie should practice riding hard."

Qiao Lie curled her lips and said, "Master Dao, I don't think so. It's not that there are no rivers down there. Just find a place to get on the boat when the time comes."

"It's not that easy." Bali Haili shook his head and said, "Wuqing and Xianghe are surrounded by wharfs. Now that we have killed Xianghe's robber officers and officers and soldiers, we will not be able to enter the city. Xianghe and Xianghe Wuqing and Sanhe are very close, we should have notified the officials on both sides, presumably Yelu Dezhong will also get news from us."

Ma Ling said: "Maybe it's not that bad, it was too dark last night, no one in Zhemo's army could see clearly."

"But the county magistrate must not have the guts to open the city gate today, isn't it?" Ba Lihaili shrugged. It's a good thing that no one is dead. The government suffered a lot of damage last night. , otherwise there will be good or bad, and it will not be the end of the official hat.

Lu Bu looked back at the crowd, and said calmly, "This is the end of the matter, brothers, you don't need to think too much, just go down the river, and then go straight to the border of Song and Liao. If you have a boat, take a boat, and if you don't have a boat, go, but you don't believe him." The Liao army just stared at me and waited."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded. This is the reason. Now that the livelihood of the Liao people is getting worse, the Khitan, Bohai, Xi, and Han people are either rebellious or become bandits. It makes no sense to just stare at their asses After figuring this out, the faces of the few people were much more relaxed, and they followed Lu Bu to the distance.
