Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 53 Departure
After the spring season, the sky and the earth finally began to warm up, and the white and hard land was full of life again. The stubborn weeds pierced through the black shell on the top of their heads and got out to bathe in the sun. Some buds bulged and covered their bodies with green clothes, announcing The arrival of spring.

The sky is about to light up, Dingtao is under the rule of the Guangji army.

Looking out from the city gate, most of them are rural people carrying loads and carrying firewood. They go to the city every morning to sell goods, and it has become a habit to leave the city before the sunset closes.

At the door, a young officer was leading a white horse with a bow on his back, and a silver gun was hanging on his back.Next to it was a young woman walking with a girl who had not yet reached the age.

"Officials need to be careful when going here. I heard that it is not very peaceful recently." The girl was born like a jade, and she had a faint sense of tenderness when she walked.

"Ma'am, don't worry, Huarong is not a vegetarian with a gun in his hand and a bow on his back, but if those short-sighted local bandits dare to come, they will prevent him from seeing the sun the next day." He has a good appearance, red lips and white teeth, a tiger's back and a wasp waist. At this time, he is wearing a royal blue dress. The jacket is a long jacket with black and white borders on the opposite collar, and a green jade bead belt with wide patterns around his waist. The whole person looks handsome and neat.

Hua Niangzi slapped Hua Rong and said: "Don't fight and kill all day long, the little girl is still here, nothing can spoil her."

Hua Xiaomei yelled: "Sister-in-law looks down on people so much, but how can I learn bad things with a few words."

Hua Niangzi rolled her eyes at Hua Xiaomei, and then slapped Hua Rong who was watching the show with a smirk: "What are you laughing at, my little sister was led to ruin by you."

Hua Rong was stunned by the sudden beating: "Ma'am, don't wrong me, I have never taught my little sister this."

Hua Niangzi stared: "I have learned to talk back."

Hua Rong shut up obediently, and glared at the cheerful Hua Xiaomei, meaning to turn around and clean you up.

Naturally, Miss Hua was not afraid, and made a face at her brother.

Seeing that she was about to reach the gate of the city, Miss Hua stopped to straighten Hua Rong's skirt, and said in a low voice: "It took so much money to get the position of Qingfengzhai, the officials should do their best. Don't worry about it." Worry about the family, I will take care of it myself, and in three to five days, I can set off to find officials."

Hua Rong sighed: "Madam has been wronged. Those fellows took the money and didn't do their work wholeheartedly. They delayed giving me the paperwork until the end of the term of office. Otherwise, we can go to the office together."

Hua Niangzi shook her head: "This is the end of the matter, officials don't care about it anymore, just go to the post with peace of mind."

"I'll leave everything to Madam." Hua Rong lowered his head and smiled, then raised his face and shook his fists, and said to Hua Xiaomei: "Listen to sister-in-law at home, otherwise I will beat you later."

Hua Xiaomei stuck out her tongue at him: "You are the most disobedient in the whole family, you should be beaten up."

"Hey, you girl!" Hua Rong angrily tapped Hua Xiaomei, as if to hit her, but she couldn't bear to do it, so she simply didn't look at him, and said to Hua Niangzi: "Please leave everything to Madam. "

"Officials be careful." Hua Niangzi nodded in agreement.

Hua Rong looked at the two women, led the horse and walked out of the city step by step, turning back three times, stood outside Dingtao Gate and looked back, the two women waved their hands at the same time when they saw him look back, Hua Rong turned on the horse and kicked the horse's belly gallop away.

"Let's go." Lady Hua looked at Miss Hua's lonely expression, and patted her head: "We're just going a few days late, and we're not separating from the officials."

"Oh." Hua Xiaomei is still a little unhappy. She and Huarong are really good. She has never seen her parents since she was a child. She was raised by Huarong. She has never had the same relationship with Huarong as today over separation.

Lady Hua knew what was on her mind, she smiled and put her arms around her and said, "Okay, I can see your elder brother in half a month at most, don't be so sad, what do you want to eat, sister-in-law will make it for you."

"Braised pork~"

When it came to food, Miss Hua's eyes lit up, and the two girls talked and laughed as they headed home.

……

People screamed, and the scene of Baishi Mountain was staged again in the Chai family. The difference was that this time the Chai family had prepared ten carts of supplies. Fearing that Lü Bu had few people, they selected more than a hundred strong and strong farmers to go to Liangshan together. .

Of course, these people didn't go with Luocao, they would come back after transporting the things there.

The convoy moved along at a slow speed, surrounded by walking soldiers, all wearing armor and carrying knives, and led by several leaders. The horse army was divided into two teams. At the same speed, he ran to the front and looked around alone.

At the back, Chai Jin rode a horse and led a dozen dealers with good riding skills to slowly follow behind the convoy. Lu Bu and Qiao Lie walked on the left side. Half a body behind Lu Bu.

"Brother, there is no need to go any further. We will see each other for thousands of miles, and there will be a farewell." Lu Bu stopped his horse, rushed firewood sideways and cupped his hands.

At this time, it was more than ten miles away from Chaijiazhuang, and it would take a while to return even on horseback.

"Hold on, brother." Chai Jin got off his horse and called the farmer to pour wine. He saw a few people coming up from behind, one of them was holding a wine jar and the other was holding three bowls. Seeing this, Lu Bu also got off his horse come over.

Chai Jin took the wine from the farmer and handed it to Lu Bu: "In the past, I have had countless banquets, and brother Yu will not say much about persuading wine today. This bowl wishes my brother's stronghold prosperity and dominance."

Lu Bu took it and raised his head to drink it, while a farmer next to him took the empty bowl.

Chai Jin handed over the second bowl of wine: "This bowl, I hope my brother will have more confidantes in the future and be famous all over the world."

Lu Bu drank it anyway.

Chai Jin handed over the third bowl of wine: "This bowl, I hope that when our brothers meet again, our wishes will be fulfilled."

Lu Bu still took it and did it.

Chai Jin took a step back, lowered his head and raised his hands, and bowed to the ground: "My dear brother, take care, and have a safe journey."

When Lu Bu saw him, he immediately bowed deeply to Chai Jin: "There will be a time later."

After saying that, he got up and returned to Chitu's side to step on the horse, looked at Chai Jin who had straightened up, nodded, and pulled the rein: "Let's go."

Chitu was impatient for a long time, so he spread his hooves and flew forward. Seeing this, Qiao Lie and others were helpless, and hurriedly waved their hands to Chai Jin to say goodbye, and chased after Lu Bu with a wave of the horsewhip.

"The Zhao family won't let my Chai family leave Cangzhou!" Chai Jin looked up at the motorcade and muttered to himself.

The horse and horse vehicle gradually turned into a black spot, and finally disappeared. Chai Jin stood with his head down for a while in despair, then he regained his composure, got on his horse and said to the dealers: "Let's go back."

Under the blue sky, the convoy is like a long snake, moving forward in an orderly manner. The wheels run over the ground, leaving deep ruts, and sometimes there are horses running back and forth to pass the front and rear sides.

In the middle of the convoy, Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse and followed the convoy slowly, behind him was
"What is brother thinking?" Qiao Lie rode on the horse and looked at Lu Bu, who was ecstatic, and couldn't help being a little curious.

Lu Bu retracted his gaze when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what the water in Liangshan looks like."

Qiao Lie shook off his Taoist robe and waved away a bug that flew in front of him: "Brother Zhe didn't see the place, so he felt uneasy?"

Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Although Mr. Chai said that this place is good and that place is wonderful, but I haven't seen it, so I feel a little uneasy after all."

"Then brother, why don't you take someone to take a look, I'll just wait for the convoy to drive slowly." Deng Fei followed at the side, and said after listening to Lu Bu's words.

Lu Bu was a little moved when he heard the words, but after thinking about it, he shook his head: "It's not right, I can't let go of these many people, so I ran forward by myself."

Qiao Lie grinned: "My brother's words are wrong. The Chai officials and people along the way have already taken care of them. Besides, there are so many brothers who are like wolves and tigers here. Whoever dares to tease us is afraid of living a long life. What's more, if we can't do well in escorting a convoy, what face do we have to hang around in the green forest? We might as well just go home and farm."

"What brother Qiao Lie said is true. We are not just born cubs, we need brother to take care of everything." Deng Fei nodded his head, agreeing with what Qiao Lie said.

Qiao Lie saw that Lu Bu was still hesitating, so he couldn't help but continue to persuade: "Left and right, I'm going to board a boat to go to that Liangshan. It's still about ten days away from that waterway. Brother, if you don't worry, you can go quickly. Come back quickly, there will be no delay."

"Let's go forward first." Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, still shaking his head, but his eyes were a little eager to try. As a commander, it was naturally impossible to leave the team and go out alone, but now it's not marching and fighting, and there are a few extravagances here With my brother here, it's okay to be self-willed once, after all, it's about the foundation of the future.

……

Under the same sky, there are thousands of miles of clouds in the north, but it is rainy and rainy in the south. The small raindrops follow the spring breeze to water the ground and nourish everything. It makes the old farmers happy, but it also makes the bored people even more depressed.

In a luxurious manor, a young man in green clothes ran into a bedroom with an oil-paper umbrella. On a rainy day, this well-lit room looked very dim, and the smell of traditional Chinese medicine inside was strong and pungent. The owner is seriously ill and needs to drink medicine every day to recuperate.

As if he hadn't smelled the smell, the servant quickly ran to the bed, calling softly to the old man on the bed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up Your Majesty."

The old man's face was haggard, his hair was messy and dry, and the creases on his face were so deep that they seemed to be able to kill mosquitoes and flies. Hearing the call, he struggled to open his cloudy eyes and uttered a hoarse voice: "What's the matter?"

"Lang Jun, someone saw the red-eyed thief who killed Lang Jun in Beidi." The servant saw him wake up, and hurriedly told him what he had heard.

"Is this true?" The old man seemed to have gained strength, and grabbed the boy's arm, his eyes were already as big as copper bells, and the originally dim pupils were now frighteningly bright.

"Really, really, it was said by the officials of Huang's family who went to the north." The boy was taken aback. He thought that this person was going to die, but he didn't expect that he was so alive and healthy when he heard the news.

The old man uttered a strange smile towards the sky, grabbed the boy tightly and asked, "Where did he see it?"

"Cangzhou, the officials of the Huang family said that they saw it in Cangzhou." The servant hurriedly replied.

"Open your eyes, let the old man know the news about this thief before he died." The old man's eyes were red, and he stretched out his hands to grab the boy's shoulders with a frenzied expression.

"I... Sir, I..." The young man swallowed, looking at the old man nervously, for fear that he would go crazy and hurt himself.

"Go, hurry up and invite Teacher Liu here, cough, cough, cough..." The old man let go of the boy, covered his mouth and coughed violently, glanced at the boy who didn't move stupidly, and couldn't help saying angrily: "Stupid What are you doing, go!"

"Hey!" The little servant shuddered, turned around and ran outside, and almost tripped when he crossed the threshold without paying attention.

"Useless stuff! Cough, cough, cough, cough!" Seeing the boy, the old man couldn't help cursing, followed by another violent cough.

Not much effort, a mighty burly man walked into this room, he could not help but frowned when he smelled the strong smell of medicine, he hesitated for a moment, but he still stepped in: "Lang Jun, are you looking for me?"
