Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 69

The wind blows through the forest, and the sun shines down on Liangshan Mountain. Groups of men in short shirts and shirtless are carrying loads full of sand and stones, carrying logs with peeled bark in and out, everywhere. There is a fiery atmosphere.

There are many people and strength. After a period of construction, Liangshan has taken on a new look. Many new houses have been built on the mountains on the left and right sides, and the rows of them look very neat.

A few craftsmen hired by a lot of money kept directing the crowd to do this and that, and sometimes they rolled up their sleeves to drive away the clumsy minions to make samples by themselves. What a new idea in general.

"Brother, drink some water and take a rest." Bian Xiang was shirtless, his muscular body was covered with sweat, and his tanned skin after hard work looked extraordinarily attractive in the sun.

Lu Bu was also bare-chested, with sharp-edged muscles evenly distributed on his body, looking masculine and beautiful. He stretched out his hand to take the water Bian Xiang handed over and drank it all in one gulp. He wiped his mouth and said, "Not really. Thinking that the first thing to do here is to build a house.”

Lu Bu has been a low-ranking officer since he entered the army, and he was promoted by military exploits. He had to do it himself when setting up a camp at the beginning of the army. Later, when he was promoted to a military marquis, he had to set up the camp himself. For him, it was a memory of bitterness and sweetness.

Bian Xiang laughed: "I didn't expect such a scene today when I joined my brother."

Looking at the bustling scene all around, he said with emotion: "But it's not bad, building a cottage a little bit, there is always a feeling of building a home for yourself."

"Isn't it?" Qiao Lie walked over from the side wearing only his middle coat and carrying a Taoist robe, sat down on the big bluestone next to him, wiped the sweat from his neck and said, "From now on, Zhemo will live here In the past few years, isn't it just like a family existence?"

Bian Xiang didn't care about the time when he heard the words, he just thought that what Qiao Lie said was smooth.

"The residences are all divided?" Lu Bu picked up a white cloth beside him and wiped his sweat, then found a piece of clothing to put on. The mountain wind is relatively strong. Although he is physically strong, there is no need to fight against the mighty force of nature.

"It's been divided, let's build the place to live first. By the way, brother, those craftsmen asked us how many levels we want." Qiao Lie straightened his legs, walking a little stiffly for a long time, and couldn't help stretching out his hands and squeezing them twice.

"This water pool is a natural barrier. If it is broken through here, there are actually several barriers that are useless." Lu Bu looked at the surrounding trees, and the lake reflecting sunlight could still be seen between the trees. important place.

"Brother, building some checkpoints can also make the brothers feel at ease, otherwise it will always feel like there is no way at home, making people feel uneasy." Bian Xiang said aside.

"Naturally it needs to be built." Lu Bu nodded, saying that, the construction of this level must still be necessary. Wouldn't it be a waste if such a dangerous terrain is not arranged properly?

Suddenly remembered something and asked Qiao Lie: "Has this scout been sent out?"

Qiao Lie smiled: "Brother, don't worry, I have already selected more than [-] clever brothers and sent them around."

"Send some people to investigate in the city and collect more information about the surrounding area." Lu Bu tidied up his messy hair: "Especially the movement of the army in the city and information about the generals, these are of great use to us."

Qiao Lie nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, brother, don't worry, younger brother, I have already sent someone to go, but now the manpower is limited, so only two or three people can do it."

"That's good, I hope the old things in Liao will not be repeated." Lu Bu sighed with emotion.

Qiao Lie and Bian Xiang naturally heard others mention that period of time, but the situation is different now. At that time, Lu Buchu was in power and Deng Fei was the only confidant, so he couldn't control the surroundings. Now the brothers use their lives, and they are more willing to be a copycat Efforts should be different.

Some minions walked past the crowd carrying earth and rocks. Bian Xiang looked at his back, frowned and said, "Brother, what about the training? It's been a few days since I started training for the construction of the cottage."

"It's a problem." Lu Bu rubbed his face, and grinned with toothache remembering what he saw and heard in Qingfeng Village: "Well, let the brothers practice every three days first."

Qiao Lie was at the side, but smiled wryly: "Brother, there is one more thing. Brother Deng Fei just said that there is not enough food in stock. What should I do?"

Lu Bu's face was a little gloomy, and he sighed, "First take out some money to buy some from the surrounding villagers, and then write a letter to Mr. Chai, asking him to find a way to raise some food and grass, and then settle the money with him .”

Qiao Lie nodded: "That's the only way."

"A lot of waste is waiting to be done." Lu Bu raised his head and sighed. This cottage is just established, and every pile is an important thing, and it can't be done casually.

"Let's talk to those craftsmen again, things in this village can't be sloppy."

Lu Bu looked around and thought for a long time, and felt that he should communicate more with the craftsmen, so he walked towards the distance.

"It should be."

"Brother, let's go, I'm here."

Qiao Lie and Bian Xiang responded one after another, and got up to continue working.

Lu Bu put on his robe and tied it as he walked. Setting up camp is the most important thing for an army. Although there are only a few hundred people now, the village must be developed. With the size of Liangshan, it can accommodate tens of thousands of people. Then how about building a military stronghold that can accommodate tens of thousands of people?
"Master Lu." The craftsman was led by a man in his fifties surnamed Zhang, but he refused to mention his name. He was ordinary-looking, with a piece missing in his left ear, and his back was a bit bent. There was a knife scar on his exposed neck. , I don't know what kind of crime I have suffered, and how I survived.

"Zhang Siwu." Lu Bu was also polite to him.

"This is the blueprint we drew according to what you said. Let's see if there is any need to modify it." Craftsman Zhang handed Lu Bu a blueprint, a sketch on it, and some data densely recorded on the side.

If Lu Bu hadn't been a feudal lord in the past, and had been in touch with these things before, he might have stared at this paper in a daze, so he took it over and read it carefully, then smiled and said, "That's right.

Craftsman Zhang smiled and said: "It should be, the righteous men are going to do great things, and they are much better than us useless people."

Lu Bu gave him a strange look: "Why do you say that?"

Craftsman Zhang just smiled and didn't say much. He said to him from left to right: "This house has already been built, and it's fine for someone to add houses according to the location marked on the drawing. Look at what is being built below? Juyi Hall?"

"Gateway." Lu Bu saw that he was unwilling to speak and did not continue to ask. He just clicked on the blueprint with his hand: "First build the level on the front and rear sides where it is easier to go up the mountain, then the left and right sides, and then the water village, the training ground, and the gathering place." The righteous hall can be built last."

Craftsman Zhang glanced at Lu Bu with a strange expression on his face. Don't look at his inconspicuous appearance, even if you mention him in the green forest, you should take a high look at him. After all, who doesn't love someone who can help build a cottage?There are several cottages in Hebei, Hedong, Jingdong and other places that he handled. No matter which village made the request, they didn't say that the Juyi Hall should be built last. Some people can't wait to build the Juyi Hall first. A true first-hearing of a final build like this.

This Lu Zhaizhu is interesting, not like what ordinary people in the green forest think.

Craftsman Zhang's eyes showed a hint of admiration. He had seen a lot of people in the green forest eager to eat hot tofu, so he naturally wanted to see something different, and now his wish has been fulfilled.

……

The sun and the moon change, time flies, and the fiery construction atmosphere on Liangshan does not affect all living beings outside the water. Some people are running around for their lives, some are enjoying life, and some...

Worrying about how to get one hundred thousand coins.

"Zhiniang thief! Is this Liangshan?" On the water, a passenger boat was rippling in the water, Duan Sanniang stared and frowned, pointed a stubby index finger at the huge mountain, and looked at the boatman viciously.

"Thousands... It's absolutely true." The boatman is an honest man, he couldn't help being a little flustered when he was watched by this group of fierce men and women, and a few drops of cold sweat dripped from his tanned face, and he muttered in his heart: This group of people can't be thieves Bar?If you come to harm me, I will jump ship and run away.

Liu Yuan's face was also a bit ugly. He and Shi Jun asked around from Chai Jin's farmer, and got the news that Deng Fei went south to Liangshan, Yuncheng County. They ran to Qingzhou overnight and took a boat. Liang Shan was found, but he didn't expect it to be in the middle of a pool of water.

What kind of Liangshan is this in Yuncheng County? That farmer misled me!
Liu Yuan stared at Liang Shan's forbidding appearance, and he was determined to go back to Cangzhou to kill people.

The people who did not give up found a boatman who was familiar with this area, and asked to go around Liangshan, but after a circle, it looked like a basin of ice water was poured on their heads, and the whole body was completely cold.

"Uncle, what should we do?" Duan Er and Duan Wu also had ugly faces. This time they called all the relatives who could be used in the family for the sake of money.

Fang Han stroked his beard with his hands. His face was full of wrinkles, but it was like a thousand ravines of sorrow. He turned his small eyes a few times, but he didn't know what to do. The bottom doesn't move, it's just twirling rapidly.

It's easy to go up the mountain. You can land on the two tidal flats at the front and back. Only the beach is guarded by people. There are also people on the mountain, and there are scenes of fallen trees. It should be that trees are being cut down to build cottages.In this situation, how many of them went up to kill people, wouldn't it be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?
Even if they succeed, how can they run away?
Let the boatman wait for them to kill people?
"It's hard to do... Oops!" Fang Han muttered to himself, without paying attention, he pulled down a beard vigorously with his hands, his painful face twitched, he shook his hands and threw the beard away, and shook his hands vigorously. Rubbing his chin.

"Unlucky!" Pan Zhong looked at the mountain forest with a livid face, and squeezed out two words from his mouth after a while.

"Let's go to Yuncheng County and find a place to rest for a while." Fang Han sighed and shook his head. It's really hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Duan Sanniang was still not reconciled, she looked at Fang Han and said, "Is that all for Zhemo?"

"Look first and then talk." Fang Han took a breath of the cool wind full of water vapor, and spat it out heavily: "No, is it possible that you forced your way up in broad daylight? How much can your body resist him?"

Duan Sanniang's face was cloudy and uncertain, and she sat back in the cabin for a long time, sulking in silence.

"Let's go back." Liu Yuan also sighed, the mountain road looked steep, and he was not sure if he really went up.

Fang Han squeezed his beard again, and suddenly said to the boatman, "Boatman, what is the price of your boat?"

Duan Er tugged at his sleeve behind him and asked, "Uncle, why are you asking him this?"

Fang Han glanced back: "It's right to make some preparations, who knows what will happen at night."

"Oh~" Duan Er and the others nodded, indeed, night is also an opportunity.

……

Yuncheng County, Bai Sheng's family.

bang——

The heavy burden was thrown on the table, shaking the bodies of the seven men around them, and then all of them stared at the dim blue package exuding a worn-out atmosphere, even those exposed to a few rays of sunlight. The dust seems to have become a lot more pleasing to the eye.

"Brother Tianwang said it." Bai Sheng put one hand on the burden, and a pair of squinted mouse eyes scanned the crowd viciously: "It's been hard work these days, everyone, it's not our brother's fault that the fat sheep can't be taken down, it's just that people are alive. You can’t just put your head on your belt and work. This money is regarded as severance pay, and after taking it, I leave Yuncheng to live a better life, and don’t want to live a bloody life again.”

As he said that, Bai Sheng tore the burden away, revealing the glistening silver, and rolled it three times on the table following Bai Sheng's violent movements, making a sound that made the heart beat faster.The ingots of snowflake silver shone brighter and brighter in the light, but it made people's eyes red.

"How much per person?" A tall and thin man licked his dry lips and asked Bai Sheng after a while.

Bai Sheng picked up two silver ingots from the table and tossed them away, laughing strangely: "There are 300 taels in total, I will only take these two ingots, and share the rest with you."

The seven people moved their brows and eyes, looked at each other a few times to confirm their eyes, nodded, and silently stepped forward and took the silver ingots and stuffed them into their bosoms, as if they had discussed it before, everyone took the same amount The silver was sent out without quarreling.

Seeing that they had taken the money, Bai Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded, "You guys are leaving today. You are all single anyway, and you can work wherever you go. Maybe you can use this money to make a fortune." Cai, I will call you a high official when I see you later."

Seeing Bai Sheng talking and laughing, several people seemed to have thought of some beautiful scene, and the corners of their mouths twitched.

"Brother Tianwang is very kind. I will give you so much if things don't work out. In the future, if my brother needs it, I will come here even if I am thousands of miles away." Someone said something, then turned around and went out, but he didn't even return to his residence, and walked straight away. up.

"Anyway, I don't have much to worry about here, so I might as well go out for a while and say goodbye."

"Let's go, I'm a wanderer, I should rest here, and I still have money."

"Brother Bai, thanks for the invitation this time, don't forget the next time something good happens."

Bai Sheng didn't say a word, just watched them go out one by one, and locked the door after the last one left, letting out a sigh of relief.
