Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

The mountain breeze in the summer night is cool and pleasant, and bonfires dotted in the distance are swaying in the dark night. Under the flickering light of the fire, a figure holding a spear is patrolling.

The tired figure stepped on the dirt road with pebbles on his feet, panting step by step towards the direction of the open fire. The cicadas and crickets chirped constantly all around. In the night wind, intermittent words were ringing. The villagers standing at the entrance of the camp The soldiers looked at each other, looking a little wary into the distance.

The sound was getting closer and could be heard faintly.

"I'm going to ask Qin Ming later why he hasn't killed a bandit for so long, which made me come to look for him..."

"Who says it's not true? There are few things in Yidu Chui's world like this. It took a month to fight a bandit. If he had gone back to school early in the morning, grandpa wouldn't have to come to this wilderness."

"Isn't that right? Miss Cui Luo from Fenzhuang Building has already made an appointment with me. Who would have thought that she would come to this mountain to find a rough man? I'm really...sigh——"

"So you like Cui Luo, and the bear is too small."

"What's wrong with the little bear? As long as he's pretty, it's fine, Marquis Pan Yu, right?"

The young man walking forward did not turn his head, pretending that he could not hear. He was also very tired and hungry at this time, and did not want to answer these two people.

"Yuhou, Yuhou, please speak."

"Pan Yuhou, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Pan Shanyu had no choice but to chat up: "You two officers, it's better to enter the camp as soon as possible. Talking like this is just a waste of energy..."

"You are so boring."

"I won't say anything to you anymore."

As he was chattering, Pan Shanyu who was walking in front suddenly saw a few more pairs of boots in his field of vision. Knowing that they were the sergeants in the camp, he stopped immediately. When he raised his head, his pupils shrank and he froze there.

The two people behind were walking bent over and breathing heavily, and bumped into the young man Yuhou's back. The man took a step forward out of inertia, and then quickly stepped back with his back straightened.

"Hey, you..." The man's forehead hurt from being pushed. He covered his head and straightened up, but his face changed. He just stood there and didn't dare to move his hands.

"What's going on?" The person next to him stopped when he saw someone, and stood there holding on to his sore legs. He tilted his head and looked at the two people next to him. The officer next to him didn't dare to move. He just stood there with his eyes wide open. He winked to look forward.

The man panted heavily and turned his head to look. In the dark night, under the light of the bonfire in front, there were more than a dozen sergeants standing in front, a few spearmen in front, and seven or eight bows in the back facing this side. He suddenly lost his temper. Someone came from one place: "You are blind, we are the servants of Magistrate Murong, how dare you be rude to us, please let Qin Ming come out to greet us!"

The two men in front, Pan Shanyu, twitched their mouths and cursed idiots in secret. The people on the other side were tense at this moment. There was clearly something wrong. Don't let us be implicated because you are so stupid.

While speechless, the two of them didn't dare to move. The man didn't know why, so he took a step forward and cursed again. The leader-looking man opposite waved his hand, and the archers behind him let go at the same time.

Beng Beng Beng——

The sound of the bowstring trembling was heard, and the sound of arrows entering the flesh was heard one after another. The man did not say a word, and was still pointing at people with one hand. He fell to the ground on his back, and the arrow inserted in his body was shaking slightly.

Gumbling—

The sound of swallowing came from behind. Pan Shanyu did not laugh at the officer behind him. He himself felt a little chilly in his heart. After the archers over there finished shooting, they all bent their bows and pointed arrows over to see what his movements were. Neat and well-trained.

The leading person from the front came over and looked the two of them up and down: "Who are you two? What are you doing here?"

Young Marquis Yu opened his mouth to speak when the man behind him said: "The three of us came to Qingzhou from Qizhou for official business. We accidentally got lost here. I hope this military master can enlighten me."

The man glanced at the two of them meaningfully, looked at the dead body on the ground covered with arrows, curled his lips and said, "Don't you think I'm deaf? Are you from Qizhou looking for Qin Ming?" He waved his hand: " take away"

The two people across from each other looked at each other and at the same time looked at the dead man. They secretly hated the man for talking too much. Seeing that the other man was approaching with strong hands, they did not dare to struggle, so they had to be tied up and escorted into the military camp.

……

When the sky darkened, everyone in the military camp had already had dinner. As the commander of the camp, Berson was no exception. He was also a lieutenant general in the army and was used to eating and living with the soldiers. Now Liangshan is the same as when he was in the army, and he can't help but feel as comfortable as a fish in water.

Now that I have eaten and drank enough, I am reading the military manual with two oil lamps in the tent. Before I went to Erlong Mountain, I thought that Bian Xiang would not choose him to come with him. However, it turned out that the ones left behind to guard the mountain were E Quanzhong and E Quanzhong, who were more skilled in martial arts. Ming Gong, after thinking about it afterwards, he was right. In addition to martial arts and command, the people who stayed behind really needed some old brothers in the mountains. I guess coming to Equanzhong would fit this point.

Holding the book in his hand, his eyes were looking at the flames of the oil lamp with some trance. I thought I could show off my skills when I came here today, but I didn't expect to win even a single battle. The official army was defeated by the cavalry army and the trapped camp. Erlongshan It was the man who voted. Even if he was calm, he felt deeply regretful. He didn't know when the next fight would be.

While I was thinking wildly, I suddenly heard a guard shouting outside: "Commander, a sentry and a brother on duty have captured two spies."

Ok?

Person raised his eyebrows, threw the military book in his hand on the table, and replied: "Bring it in."

The next moment, rustling footsteps were heard at the door of the tent. A group of village soldiers came in escorting two tied up strong men. The low-ranking general who led the group stepped forward and saluted: "Commander, this spy said he was here." One of the people who was looking for Qin Ming made rude remarks and was shot dead on the spot by the brothers. These two people also tried to deceive us." He took out an envelope from his arms and handed it over respectfully: "This is the letter found from them. , I don’t dare to be good at it, so please take a look.”

Person took it, saw the fire paint seal on it, opened it and it was lit by fire, he read it up and down, frowned and put it to his hand, looked at the two people who were pressed, turned to the low-ranking general and said: "But still What’s the most valuable thing to ask?”

Pan Shanyu and the officer who were standing were suddenly sweating profusely, fearing that the next sentence would be beheaded, but when they saw the leader shaking his head: "I didn't ask what happened.", they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

This life is finally saved.

"Send it to Qin Ming first." Bo Sen waved his hand: "As for this letter..."

He reached out and tapped on the letter: "I will make a decision after I go up the mountain to discuss with Brother Bian Xiang and Brother Du Bo."

"Yes." The leader turned around and waved his hand: "Come on, hurry up."

Bai Sen ignored them and summoned his deputy, Meng Futong, and told him to keep an eye on them. However, he took the letter and went up the mountain overnight.

This time... maybe it's an opportunity.

……

The mountain shadows stood quietly in the dark night. A gentle breeze blew by, and the leaves rustled twice before returning to calm.

On Erlong Mountain, the original Baozhu Temple is also brightly lit tonight, with oil lamps burning in the stone lampposts, and the oil mixed with pine oil exudes a delicate fragrance.

In the original main hall, dozens of candles as thick as arms were lit, illuminating the hall that had been renovated by the previous owner as bright as day. Several figures were cut to the wall by the light, and two people who were sitting around each other and drinking heavily were People were shouting.

"Zhi Yang, drink up, drink up, there is so much left, but who are you going to leave it to?"

Wei He was holding the wine jar, his clothes in front were wet, and he was puffing on the wine smell and patting the empty jar to urge Yang Zhi, who had a blushing face across from him.

"Which one wants to stay? Sajia is just taking a breather." The green-faced beast stared at his red eyes and said, "You just finished the drink first."

"Then you're not too slow?" Feng Tai pouted at the side. Yang Zhi glared at him and raised the wine jar to drink. However, he drank too quickly and spilled a lot of it. His beard and chest were all wet. of.

"Okay! Hahaha -" Lu Zhishen touched his shiny forehead, laughed and stepped on the stool: "It's been a long time since I've seen Brother Yang drinking so happily. He's such a northwest man."

"Uh huh - hiccup -"

Yang Zhi swallowed the last sip of wine, burped violently, and tipped the wine jar: "Sajia has finished drinking." He looked at Fengtai and wiped the wine stains from his mouth: "Ugly ghost, you dare to accept the challenge! "

"Who is afraid of you!"

As he spoke, the ugly man stood up. Niu Gao next to him silently handed over the newly opened wine jar. The two men picked it up and poured it into their mouths. Niu Gao hugged his arms and returned to Bian Xiang, tilted his head and said : "Just let them drink like this?"

"Drink." Bian Xiang looked over there with a smile: "It's better to drink without looking up than to see him all day long." Then he opened his mouth and shouted: "Fengtai, Yang Zhishi drank a jar. , you guys don’t want to lose.”

The two people drinking there suddenly speeded up a little.

In the midst of the excitement, a soldier from the village quickly ran in and said to Bian Xiang, "Commander Shanxia Bai is here. He said he has something important to ask Commander Du."

Bian Xiang raised his eyebrows and nodded, indicating that he understood. The man ran to Du Bo and said something. The two of them left the hall immediately. Lu Zhishen, who was making noises over there, watched the two of them walk out and touched his forehead. He also quietly withdrew.

In the dark night, Bosen's miserable face was illuminated by a bonfire not far away. Bian and Du walked over quickly: "Is there something going on down the mountain?"

Person nodded: "Three people came to deliver letters to Qin Ming. One was killed by the people below, and the other two found something." He said, took out the letter and handed it over.

Bian Xiang and Du Bu looked at each other, reached out to take it, and read it through the bonfire nearby. Lu Zhishen, who was following behind, saw him waiting to read the letter, and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Brothers, what happened?"

"Huh? It's senior brother." Bian Xiang looked back and saw the flower monk coming over, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal. It's just that the Qingzhou prefect sent someone to inform Qin to go to Qingfeng Village to catch Hua Rong." He paused and said: "Brother is visiting there."

"Hua Rong? Qingfeng Village and Wuzhi Village?" Lu Zhishen was stunned, touching his chin with his big hand and said: "The Sa family heard that the man below told him that he is one of the few heroes in Qingzhou, but it's a pity that his head is pressed down by a bunch of birds, and he can't do anything. It’s frustrating. What’s wrong? He’s actually an acquaintance of my brother?”

"There is some friendship." Bian Xiang nodded and didn't say much.

"Haidiqiao..." Du Bo breathed out: "It seems that Brother Hua Rong needs to go up the mountain as soon as possible. In the officialdom, it's either you or me."

"Well..." Bian Xiang nodded and clapped his hands: "Fortunately, the commander of Qingzhou and the military commander have been captured. There is no way to let Murong writhe around. We will wait until my brother comes to decide this matter." Bar."

"That's what He said." Du Bo nodded with Lu Zhishen, while Bo Sen opened his mouth and gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, I have a dispute here. I don't know if it's appropriate or not."

Bian Xiang, Du Bo and Monk Hua turned to look at him, and Bosen said: "The village has been nervous about money and food. Qingzhou Prefecture already has few soldiers after the battle at the beginning of the year and this time. If we take the opportunity to attack the prefecture, we will Move the money and food up the mountain. It happens that there are many sergeants from Qingzhou in our army. All we need to do is..." He pointed at Murong Yanda's order in Du Bo's hand and said: "Wear the clothes of the two people at the bottom of the mountain and get a prison car to look for them. If two brothers pretend to be Huarong brothers inside, it will not be difficult to deceive the defenders."

Bian Xiang and the other three looked at each other and nodded in unison: "It's a way."

Lu Zhishen squinted his eyes and crossed his head with his big hands: "It's easy to cheat to open the city gate, but we have too few people. Even if Erlongshan's minions come together, there are only more than 3,000 people. Qingzhou Mansion is so big, the Sa family is afraid that they can't control it. , then the news leaks and attracts reinforcements, or the things cannot be transported out, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?”

"Senior brother, don't worry." Du Bo chuckled: "This is easy. There are people leading troops to attack from Taohua Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain. If nothing happens, it will be over. There are also naval troops stopping at Jishui River to support them. As long as we can capture Yidu City, not a single fly will escape."

Bian Xiang took a breath: "We have to wait for my brother to come. Calculating the time, we should be on the way. There is still time left and right. I can afford to wait for a day or two."

The rest of the people nodded in agreement. After a while, Berson came down from the mountain and returned to the camp to guard, while the other three returned to the main hall, looking excited.

……

Inside the prisoner camp.

The night wind blew through the leaky tent, and Qin Ming looked at the two people in front of him with an ugly expression: "The three of you just broke in like this? Didn't you even take a closer look at who the flag was?"

Pan Shanyu twitched the corner of his mouth and lowered his head in shame.

The officer on the side stiffened his neck and said, "It's all in the dark, and there's no strong wind to blow up the flag. Who can see what the banner is?"

Qin Ming was furious: "I was killed by you and others this time. If I hadn't had no weapons, I would have knocked you two to death with a stick."

"Don't worry about control." Pan Shanyu glanced at him and said cautiously: "Don't worry, someone will break in and spread the news."

"What stupid ass can break in?" Qin Ming was furious and pointed at the two of them with one intact hand: "What a great opportunity! It was just wasted by letting you wait for three idiots!" Pointing to the outside: "You can see later. Looking at his military appearance, who can tell whether he is a soldier or a bandit when he breaks in?"

Young Marquis Yu moved his lips and closed his mouth. The officer also sat there with a wilted look. Qin Mingchao lay back and sighed: "Now I just hope that this group of thieves will finish their work and leave Qingzhou, otherwise the city will It's dangerous." (End of chapter)
