Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

"I want to merge the fleet into the cottage, that is... join the group."

The cool wind blew in. Lu Bu straightened his body and looked at the man on the sea opposite: "Why do you suddenly want to join the gang?"

"Brother Lu is making a big fuss, I want to follow suit." Wei Zhaode smiled with his yellow teeth, leaned forward, propped up the table and said: "Brother Lu knows about our family, I think I'm also worried There are many people, but this is incomparable on land and at sea."

After a slight pause, the sea-covering jiao regained his sitting posture: "If I were alone, Zhemo would lead people to break through two or three coastal villages and towns, but he couldn't break through the official army brigade and the Yizhou prefecture like Brother Lu."

"That's why you want to join the gang?"

"Of course not." Licking his lower lip, Wei Zhaode picked up the tea and took a sip: "Although I'm a man living at sea, I'm not an idiot with no knowledge. Brother Lu is building a village at the foot of the mountain, gathering tenants and As an outlying village, and spreading eyes and ears on the Jingdong Road, there should be trouble, right?"

"This is brother Wei's wrong thinking. Someone has no intention of causing trouble here in Liangshan."

"Hehehe—" The pirate chuckled and put down the cup in his hand: "It's not in Liangshan, it's somewhere else."

Looking at the map hanging in the blink of an eye, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Brother Lu, this map...marked a lot of marks in Liao, yes, that's where Ye himself came from."

The figure on the opposite side smiled without saying a word, sitting upright without any movement, Wei Zhaode did not speak again, as if he was waiting for the opposite person to speak, but until the tea in the teacup in front of him was exhausted, Lu Bu did not move at all.

"...Brother Lu is really a person who can hold his breath." With a wry smile, Fu Haijiao couldn't help but said: "This map only has marks on the land, but the sea is missing. .”

He took a pen, put it in his mouth to moisten it, stood up, walked to the map of Kanyu and clicked a few points: "There are some islands above Dengzhou and Laizhou with few people on them. The land is large and mountainous, and there is a little cultivated land. Although It cannot be self-sufficient, but it can supplement it to some extent. Most importantly, few people from the government pay attention there, so it can be said to be a natural hiding place for troops. There are also islands in Mizhou, which is a little further away. These islands can be It's said to be the closest to Jingdong Road, and it can also be used as a springboard to go to other places. I wonder, brother Lu..., no, what does brother think of my support?"

"Very satisfied." Standing up, Lu Bu walked forward in three steps at a time, looked at Wei Zhaode carefully, and said, "I and the other military advisers have never thought about this island. This time, it gave me a new idea.”

"My brother and the military adviser are men who gallop on land, but I have been soaking in salt water all day long, so my thoughts and thoughts are a little different." A flattering smile appeared on his dark face, and the ink stains on his tongue were revealed , the lining of the teeth seems to be a lot whiter: "Brother, look at today's cannon... If there is a lot of output, can you give me two for the sake of my brother's idea."

"I was waiting here." Lu Bu smiled, and patted Wei Zhaode on the shoulder: "Let's see, if Ling Zhen can make more, maybe he can even give some to the navy, if not so much..."

Shaking his head: "Forget it, it's too early to say this at this time."

"That's right." Wei Zhaode nodded, seeing Lu Bu staring at the sea chart in a daze, he frowned and said, "If brother is curious, why don't I take you to the sea to see it some other day?"

"Very good." Lu Bu was moved and thought for a while: "Things in the cottage have been quite busy in the past few days. After five days, all the things that should be done should be finished by then. Then bring Li Bao and the Ruan family brothers together."

"In that case, I'll take my leave first."

While nodding, Wei Zhaode bowed his hands and saluted, leaving Lu Bu staring at Kanyutu in a daze, while he turned around and went out to greet Yu Cheng, and Shi Shiran went back to the water village.

Soon, there was news of a banquet on the mountain.

……

The sun shone through the woods, casting shadows in many places. The gray donkey flicked its tail and pulled a vehicle that could only accommodate one person. Several guards walked slowly around the donkey cart. The weather was not yet complete. As it got warmer, the wind that blew from time to time shook the guard's clothes.

The Buddhist temple he was waiting to go to was not far from the outside of the city, but the distance of seven or eight miles did not take long to walk. Before noon, the group of people had arrived at the entrance of the temple and stopped.

"Miss Liu, you've arrived."

The deep voice of the guards came, the curtain of the car was lifted, and Liu Huiniang walked down expressionlessly, surrounded by the guards, and headed towards the temple.

Everyone stepped into the gate one by one, before passing through the courtyard full of bluestones, a ruddy-faced Zhike monk greeted him, clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, all benefactors, I don't know why you came to the temple, what are you talking about?"

"I have met Master." The girl's soft voice came from the mouth: "The believer is here to fulfill the vows of the family, and to thank the Buddha for his protection in the past."

She gestured behind her, and a guard stepped forward to hand over a bag of silver. Liu Huiniang clasped her palms together and bowed and said, "This is the family's daily savings, and I must send it to the temple for the believer."

"Amitabha." The Zhigu monk lowered his eyes, took the purse with one hand, and put it into his arms skillfully: "Please benefactor, there are only a few pilgrims in the main hall at this time, and the side hall is being cleaned. Please don't go there. "

After a pause, he turned slightly to get out of the way, and asked again: "Would the benefactor have lunch in the temple? The vegetarian restaurant in this temple is well received."

"Trouble master."

Liu Huiniang did not refuse, clasped her hands together and ordered the guards to wait outside, while she walked lightly into the hall with lotus steps.

It's not the new year's day, there are not many believers in the hall, two or three elderly women knelt there and prayed sincerely, when Liu Huiniang came in, she didn't respond, she just closed her eyes and silently recited Buddhist scriptures.

Standing there with her head down for a while, the girl just took a joss stick from the monk beside her, lighted it and shook it lightly, the strong fragrance hit her nose, then she walked forward and bowed to the Buddha statue a few times, standing there He got up and inserted the incense into the incense burner casually, and stood there with his head bowed, not knowing what to think.

"Why did my dear brother bring me here today?"

"No, I don't trust your words. I only believed you when you swore in front of the Buddha. Who knows if you have been hiding something for so many years."

"You and I are masters and apprentices, but you still can't trust me after all these years of friendship? If you say that you have taught everything, you have taught."

"No, no, you've teased my two brothers too many times. Today, we have to swear an oath in front of the Buddha."

"It's gotta, rely on you, rely on you, who made me a master."

Noisy sounds came from behind. Liu Huiniang, who had her head lowered, frowned, rather displeased. She turned around and glanced, but it was a tall and handsome young man who walked in dragging a middle-aged man. (end of this chapter)
