Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

The setting sun shines from the west, and the golden light group emits the last light and heat of the day.

Pedestrians on the street began to go home in twos and threes. Uzi worked for a day at Caozheng Hotel and got some wages. He stood in front of the butcher shop and bought some meat to go home. Compared with the previous days, the price of meat today has dropped. Generally speaking, there are always soldiers wearing black shirts patrolling the city. In the past, the arrogant Bohai idlers did not dare to go to the streets to stir up trouble.

He watched thoughtfully as a group of soldiers in black clothes walked past behind a scribe and a bald man.

bang bang-

The butcher selling meat patted the chopping board twice: "Hey, do you want to buy it or not? If not, leave quickly. Don't stop me from doing business."

"Buy, buy, buy——"

As he spoke, the young Bohai man stepped forward and asked for a pound of pork chopped into minced meat. He looked at the butcher and said, "Business seems to be good today? This meat is cheaper than the previous few days. Will it stay at this price from now on?"

"I dare not say that." The sword was flying up and down. The butcher waved his arms, turned the meat over and continued to chop: "One day, the soldiers in this city will make money like the Bohai Navy did before, and the money will rise again. ”

thump—

The chopping knife flashed and was fixed on the meat board. The butcher casually picked up the lotus leaf and wrapped it: "Here."

The young man took it and walked away from the butcher shop. He couldn't help but look back and watched the group of soldiers turn around the alley led by the bald man. Over there...

It seems like a prison?
……

Xiao Haili stepped into the door and couldn't help but cover his nose. The smell of musty, blood, and feces and urine in the prison mixed together to form an indescribable smell that made people want to vomit.

"This place is quite dirty, please take care of it, generals."

The hunched-over prison boss looked at the approaching Xiao Haili and Pei Xuan with a mocking smile. The latter glanced at him and didn't bother to correct his mistake. He pointed at the closed door and said, "Open it. I Something happens when you get in."

"Yes."

The jailer smiled, took out the key quickly, went to the prison door, unlocked it, lowered the chain with a click, and handed over a bunch of keys with a grin, "Here are the keys to the prison door." He watched as someone took them from behind, and two of them went in with a few soldiers. He then straightened up and let out a breath.

He glared at the cowering inmates next to him and cursed, "You losers. You didn't even say a few nice words when you saw the police coming over. You let me stay here all alone with my smile on my face. You are a bunch of useless people."

"Boss, who knows if he will kill people randomly."

"If you were to kill indiscriminately, I would have killed you long ago. You useless thing, I will kill you sooner or later."

Cursing, the cell leader glanced inside, and as he watched the bald man open a cell door and go in, he couldn't help but bared his teeth: "Damn it, these dog prisoners who are destined to die are really lucky."

thump—

The prison door knocked on the wooden railing, making a soft sound. Xiao Haili covered his nose with his hand and complained: "It stinks, Yelu Mawu, how could you make this place so smelly?"

Inside the prison, unknown insects flashed across the straw-covered floor. The figure sitting slumped against the wall couldn't help but raise his head. The hair style on his chin indicated that he was a Khitan man, and his face was now covered with dirt. Hui Yuzui looked at the middle-aged man opposite and frowned: "Who are you?"

Then "Bah--" he spat aside and said, "You've been smelling like this for a month since I've been here."

"I didn't come in." Xiao Haili laughed, walked over and sat down opposite Yelu Mawu, waved his hand and patted his thigh: "I, Xiao Haili, have you ever heard of me?"

Yelu Mawu looked at the former from the corner of his eyes: "Where did this madman come from? Why did I hear that... huh?"

The words suddenly stopped, and the Khitan young man couldn't help but straighten up and look at the opposite side: "Wait, you said you are Xiao Haili? Could it be that you want to say that you are the one who lived in the second year of Qiantong's reign?"

"It's not just me!"

The loud conversation caused a commotion in the nearby cells. Some people couldn't help but stand up and look this way, and buzzing whispers sounded in the prison.

Xiao Haili didn't care and waved back. Someone stepped forward and put down the wine jar. The former sealed the mud and handed it over: "Take a sip?"

"Just drink." The Khitan young man licked his tongue and looked at the wine with eagerness on his face. Amidst the sound of the iron chain, he took it and drank. The clear wine flowed from the corner of his mouth and wet his already dirty clothes.

The aroma of wine mixed with the smell of the cell made the place smell even more unpleasant, but Xiao Haili, who was opposite him, seemed to be unaware of it. He watched Yelu Mawu belch and put down the wine jar, and said in a calm tone: "Gao Yongchang was defeated." ”

"I know, he came to see me." He wiped his chin, with a trace of disdain on his young face: "That guy is an idiot. He watched Wanyanbu establish the country and he also established it, bah! He didn't even look at himself. Do you have that strength?”

"He is indeed an idiot." Xiao Haili looked at him, glanced at the wine jar, couldn't help but reached for it, took a sip, and handed it over: "So he was defeated, and even his wife was tied up by his men and given to the General Hussar. "

Yelu Mawu was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "This guy can't even control the people below, hahaha——"

Xiao Haili shrugged, watching the laughter from the other side weakening, Leng Buding said: "Come and follow us, you must have been oppressed by that idiot Yelu Yanxi, otherwise as a clan general, you should be in Zhongjing or Nanjing Work in a wealthy place like that, or live in an ancestral place like Shangjing.”

The laughter stopped suddenly, and the cell seemed to be still. There was no sound for a while. Pei Xuan frowned behind him. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Yelu Mawu say: "You were defeated. You were defeated in the second year of Qiantong. Although I don't know Why are you not dead, but there is no future with you?”

"So I found General Hussars." Xiao Haili did not deny it, but raised his hand and nodded at the other side: "You have fought with us, how do you feel?"

"..." The young man who was asked was speechless for a moment.

"Did you know that Xiao Cunou was killed by the general's formation?"

Yeluma raised his eyebrows and shook his head.

"Now that the southeastern coastal area is in the hands of the general, and the Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo has also been captured, is it possible for these forces to capture Liaodong?"

Many people in the prison looked changed.

"The more important thing is." Xiao Haili patted his thigh: "General Hussar has not been defeated since he entered Liaodong, and you -" he pointed at Yelu Mawu, and then pointed at the figures in the prison around him: "You all, He was put in prison by Xiao Bao after he was defeated in the battle with the general. Do you know what would have been waiting for you if he had not died? "

Looking at the young man with a sinking face with a sneer, Xiao Haili put his hands on the ground, stood up with his legs bent, and looked down at Yelu Mawu: "Even if we let you go now, you are still dead. Who doesn't know that Xiao Baoxian is in the hands of the Hunjun?" You don’t even have to point at a vicious dog, he can pounce on you and bite you.”

wow-

Yelu Mawu stood up, and the chain at his wrist kept shaking and rubbing against the ground: "Damn it, I heard people say that you are a fierce general on the battlefield, how can you say such a thing?"

Xiao Haili smiled: "There are many false rumors. My methods are far inferior to those of the leader."

"Then take me to meet you."

Yelu Mawu let out a breath, and then glared at Xiao Haili: "If you are defeated by Hunjun later, don't blame me for asking for credit with your head."

"Hahaha——" Xiao Haili laughed loudly and patted Yelu Mawu on the shoulder: "You can cut him as you like when the time comes, but I will never fight back."

The young Khitan curled his lips and said, "Just remember."

"I will remember."

Xiao Haili responded, feeling relieved and looking at the Liao generals imprisoned in the prisons around him with a smile on his face: "Who is unwilling to surrender?" A dozen generals at all levels looked at each other and bowed in unison. He clasped his fists and said, "I would like to surrender the Hussars General!"

"Okay!" Xiao Haili was overjoyed and waved his hand: "Open the door and let him go!"

At this moment, soldiers in black clothes opened the doors one by one with keys to check their identities. Xiao Haili held Yelu Mawu in his arms and walked out. Pei Xuan stood in the prison and looked at the two Khitan men who were walking outside the isolation door, and then looked at them. Looking at the Liao army general who was being led out, he smiled bitterly.

"How can this be explained to brothers Wen Zhongrong and Min Gong..."

……

The sky darkened, and the night filled the blue sky like flowing water, with little stars dotting it, echoing the team lighting torches below.

The sound of dense footsteps echoed in the city gate entering the city. Yang Zhi, who was on duty at the west gate today, came down to the city gate tower and looked curiously at the carriage illuminated by torches. He pouted and said, "Brother Li Bao, is this Gao Yongchang?"

"it's him."

"Good guy..."

Under the light of the fire, the person in the carriage was as pale as a sheet of paper. His two legs were fighting, and he was huddled in a corner. The green-faced beast couldn't help but "tsk": "The Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty looks like this. I really saw it.”

"You didn't see this guy peeing his pants." Li Bao laughed, beckoning the carriage to go ahead, and waved his hand towards Yang Zhi: "Then brother is entering the city, and the general called for this guy, no delay It’s not good.”

"As you should, brothers go first."

The green-faced beast nodded and quickly took a step aside. Xu Wen said hello to him, and he and Li Bao walked in the prison car. The former looked at Gao Yongchang who was going away, and the other prison car passing by. , couldn't help but smacked his lips: "How come the Sa family doesn't have such luck... Tsk!"

The night was lonely. Except for Cao Zheng's hotel, the other people went home. Lu Bu's army had only entered the city for a short time, so most people were still a little scared. They turned off the lights early and lay down to rest. Some people listened to the footsteps and the wheels rolling on the ground outside. I didn't dare to look at the sound.

It was still a few hundred meters away from the Hussar General's mansion. Someone had already come to question him. When he heard that Gao Yongchang had been captured, he quickly ran all the way to report the news. When the guards guarding the door of the mansion heard about it, they also ran over quickly. Soldier Tong Shui Together they escorted two prison cars into the mansion.

In the mansion, Lu Bu, who had not yet rested, heard the news, quickly put on his cloak, picked up the ring-shou knife and walked out of the house quickly. Behind him, Yu Cheng and a group of guards rushed to meet him, protecting the anxious-looking man as he moved forward. .

In the distance, dozens of figures holding soldiers and armor were standing in the courtyard. Two carriages were parked side by side. There were people holding torches standing around the vehicles. Lu Bu had good eyesight and looked at the figure on the left side of the carriage curled up and shaking from a distance. The figure in the car on the right is sitting cross-legged, with his eyes closed and his body straight.

"Meet the General!"

Li Bao and Xu Wen saw the figure approaching with dragon and tiger steps, and quickly stepped forward and bowed down.

"No gift!"

Lu Bu waved his hand, unfurled his scarlet cloak, and walked past the two of them. Xu Wen couldn't help but look at Li Bao, who smiled, patted him and stood up.

"Are you Gao Yongchang?"

Beside the car on the right, Lu Bu stopped and looked at the upright figure sitting in the car.

Wu Shi listened to the voice next to his ears and couldn't help but open his eyes. He saw a pair of tiger eyes staring at him with a vicious look. He couldn't help but tremble and shook his head hurriedly.

Upon seeing this, Li Bao stepped forward quickly and pointed to the side: "General, that guy is Gao Yongchang."

Glancing at Li Bao in surprise, Lu Bu walked over and immediately smelled the smell of urine on his nose. He couldn't help but look back at his newly appointed Captain Henghai, who nodded repeatedly to indicate that he was right.

"Ha--" The corner of Lu Bu's mouth twitched. He put his hand on the hilt of the knife and slowly circled the carriage. The figure inside couldn't help but look up and looked around. His expression became even more frightened, and he buried his head in his arms.

"What a coward..."

The stopped figure closed his eyes, "How dare you kill a certain brother!"

The big hand slammed the wooden railing, and there was a loud "Peng" sound. The figure inside shivered, and liquid dripped down the bottom of the car, dripping to the ground.

"The second time..." Xu Wen whispered behind Li Bao's ear.

Lu Bu frowned and couldn't help lowering his head and taking a step back. He looked at the uppers of his shoes by the firelight and saw that there was no water on them. Then he looked up at the car and said, "Shuzi...where is Brother-and-Such?"

Seeing that the man was just trembling and not answering, Lu Bu's eyes spread with anger on his face. Yu Cheng looked on, took the spear directly from the guard next to him, took two steps forward, turned the head of the spear, and stabbed him hard with the tail. Thigh: "The general asked, tell me!"

"what--"

The embarrassed figure covered his thighs, and Gao Yongchang raised his head in horror: "I...I, I don't know anything."

"Last year..." The figure in the cloak held the handle of the knife in one hand and raised it with the other hand to point at him: "My brother came to Liaodong to buy horses, but you and his men robbed the horses."

Gao Yongchang's eyes moved and he suddenly remembered this matter.

"Remember? Where is Brother So-and-so?"

"I don't..." Gao Yongchang blurted out and quickly changed his words: "I know where it is. Spare my life and I will tell you."

He took a breath: "I am the only one who knows his whereabouts. Let me go, I say."

Lu Bu hesitated for a while, with a hopeful look in his eyes.

"Fart!" Wu Shi on the right suddenly said: "When you returned to the camp that day, the people who followed you said that most of them were killed, and only a few were seriously injured. Do you know which one they were?"

Gao Yongchang glared at him, looked at Lu Bu and said, "I know, really, he is the shrewdest one."

Veins popped out in the hand holding the handle of the knife, but Lu Bu's face was calm, and he suddenly smiled: "I hate being deceived by others."

With a wave of his arm, the Huanshou sword brought up a stream of horses. There was a loud noise, and the wooden railings of the carriage exploded and shattered with the light of the sword. A human head flew up diagonally and landed on the ground with a bang and rolled several times.

Wu Shi looked coldly at the headless body spurting blood. When he saw Lu Bu looking back at him, he closed his eyes and clutched his pants with both hands.

"Are you willing to surrender?"

When the deep voice reached his ears, Wu Shimeng's eyes really opened. He changed his position in the prison car and knelt down, knocking his head on the wooden board: "Wu Shi is willing to surrender!"

"it is good!"

Lu Bu exhaled, wiped the blood off his face, and looked at Yu Cheng: "Let him go, and take him to the study later."

After taking a few steps, he waved his arm, shook off the blood stains on the ring-shou knife and sheathed it, then looked at Li Bao and Xu Wen: "You two will come to the study soon."

The two of them bowed to receive the hit, and then strode away.

Under the night, the bonfire illuminated the moving figures, and some figures came out of the prison and stepped into the house door. (End of chapter)
