Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

After the heavy snowfall, it was freezing cold. Horses' hooves whipped up the snow to reveal the black hard land below. Amidst the rumble of the horses' hooves, the snow on the dead branches in the forest fell down and merged into the white light under the trees.

The young man in the leather jacket had a stern expression on his face, his thin lips pursed tightly, and his brows furrowed as he stared at the snow-white world in front of him. He was surrounded by two to three hundred fierce knights wearing cold-proof leather jackets and leather armors.

Today, I received a summons from the shopkeeper of the grocery store. The red-eyed thief came to buy fodder again. When his brain got hot, he ran out with others to capture him and settle the score. In the end, he ran for dozens of miles without even looking at the bird feathers. Just calmed down.

The Liaoyang Mansion was above the Huosu Pavilion. At this time, he led the cavalry to pursue him. I am afraid he was following behind to eat ashes. But now that the man had been pulled out, he could not bear to lose face and go back the same way, so he had to follow the shopkeeper. The provided direction is traveled.

"Officer, where are we going?" A knight was chasing aimlessly, and he couldn't help but speak out after hearing the news.

The young man glanced sideways at him, opened his lips slightly, exhaled, and then said loudly: "Go straight down this road, look for no one for a hundred miles, then go back, and see if there are any traces of ruts on the road."

This young man has a high reputation in the clan. He was a famous surname in the past. All the knights usually took him as their leader. Now when they heard what he said, they agreed.

Boom boom boom——

The sound of hoofbeats accelerated, and the snow mist raised by the horses' hooves dispersed in the air. Many people's mouths and noses were covered with snow foam. When the white breath was exhaled, it turned into water droplets and stuck to the skin, sliding down along the texture towards the beard.

"Here! There are ruts here."

Suddenly someone shouted loudly. The young man was overjoyed and quickly pointed his finger: "Follow him, quickly!"

The knight over there quickly pulled the reins of his horse and chased him along several ruts. He chased and rested for an unknown amount of time until he reached a coast.

Seeing that someone had built a simple pier and plank road here with wood, he became furious and drove his horse forward a few steps. He looked closely and saw several small black dots disappearing on the distant coastline.

"Tear this place down!"

The young man was furious and pulled the reins of his horse off the plank road. A dozen knights in front of him dismounted, drew their swords and passed by him. They stood in front of the pier and prepared to strike. The man suddenly turned around and shouted: "Wait a minute." !”

The man holding the sword looked back at him, and he whipped the leather boots with a riding crop: "Keep them for now, maybe they will use them next time this group of people comes. If they destroy most of them, they will alert the snake..."

Snapped--

He whipped his whip in the air and said, "His fortune is good, let's go back."

The hoofs of the horses roared, and the fierce knight disappeared from the coast, taking a trail of snow dust back towards the way he came.

……

Go back in time.

During the day when the wind and snow in Liaodong stopped, the clouds on Jingdong Road were thick, and the leaden sky was not as bright as in the past. Shi Gugong straightened his clothes, stepped out of the room, greeted people he knew, and was familiar with the road. towards the residential area for new arrivals.

He stopped slowly, looked at the clean floor in front of the house, exhaled, stepped forward and patted the door three times.

Not long after, footsteps were heard in the house, and the door opened toward the inside. The face in sight was still similar to the one in his memory, but his calm temperament was even better than before.

Shi Gu Gong bowed his hands to the ground: "Gu Gong has met my brother." The person living in this house was Shi Wengong, who was new to the mountain. He was startled when he heard what the other person said, and after thinking for a while, he showed a look of surprise: "Without courtesy, come in. "

Shi Gugong didn't mind his harsh tone. After hearing the words, he stood up and walked in, taking a look at the house. This newly built house was not as spacious as before, but it also had indoor and outdoor rooms. There were all tables, chairs, and benches, and there was even a burning brazier on it. In the house.

Shi Wengong put the person in and then closed the door. He turned around and said nothing. He found a cup and took the kettle from the brazier to pour water for the person. He placed the steaming cup in front of the elegant young man and made a gesture. Please gesture.

"Brother is still so taciturn. It must be after the death of my uncle and aunt..." Shi Gugong hugged the cup with both hands, and his cold palms suddenly felt a burst of warmth. He frowned when he saw the other side and turned around. Topic: "I didn't expect to see Xie at the banquet yesterday. I wonder how Xie got up the mountain?"

Shi Wengong was indifferent, and then said softly: "By chance, I lost to my brother."

Shi Gugong smiled bitterly: "I don't understand what my elder brother said."

Shi Wengong opened his mouth, then closed it, and after a while he uttered two words: "Trouble!"

"That's all, forget it if you don't want to explain." The clan brother shrugged helplessly: "It's just that you and I are the two historians on this mountain, so we had to help each other at that time."

Pausing for a moment, looking at the still silent cold face on the other side, I suddenly felt powerless, but he still said: "I am now working with the people's livelihood in the management school, and I can get in touch with some secrets. There are many horses in the village now." I have made a lot of achievements, and I am preparing to form another battalion. However, as the village has developed so far, those with sufficient qualifications have not received enough credit, and those with sufficient qualifications are still relatively junior, so most of them will be led by my elder brother."

He licked his lower lips, raised the cup and took a sip and said: "I will keep an eye on my brother. If my brother is not sent to the Ma Army in the job allocation, I will strongly recommend him at that time. I also hope that my brother will make more contributions."

The silent man stared at the other person and asked softly: "Why?"

"It can be regarded as for my own sake." Shi Gugong narrowed his eyes and took a breath: "I know my brother's ability. If he goes into battle, it will not be difficult to make meritorious service. If he is to be in charge of an army, I can't say for sure. I hope that my brother will be transferred to him by then. past."

The hand holding the cup turned white: "Although I have some qualifications in the village now, I just yearn for something in the army. If I have the help of my brother, it will be easier to achieve."

Shi Wengong tilted his head, his eyes a little confused: "How about meritorious service? After all, he is a bandit."

The young scholar smiled, looked at the walls on both sides, propped himself up and came closer: "I have been in this mountain for a long time, and I have always made some discoveries. I probably have my own plan. Although I don't know what it is, I..."

His eyes widened slightly: "I want to take a gamble."

He leaned back and sat down on the chair: "It's better than this."

There was silence in the room for a while. Just when Shi Gugong's patience was exhausted and he was about to leave, he suddenly heard the other person ask: "I heard that you voted for the Western Army?"

Slightly——

The cup slid on the table. Shi Gugong lowered his head and nodded for a while: "Yes, I have been there before to recommend myself..." He raised his head and smiled bitterly: "But he was told that his hands and feet were weak and that it was useless to fight, so he was kicked out."

There was another moment of silence. Shi Wengong put his hands on the table and held each other's hands, lowering his head: "I've been there too, and all my achievements in a year were taken away."

He raised his head and looked at him: "Okay, I'll take a gamble with you."

Shi Gugong is very happy. (End of chapter)
