The brightly lit center,

Lu Tianjun, who was holding a Qibao rhino horn cup, had just drunk a sip of the mellow Sanle pulp. The fermented taste of the three kinds of foreign fruits, known as Halile, Anmol, and Vilile, filled his tongue with a dulled mouth, and he couldn't help but relax a little.

It has been 21 years since he went up the mountain from a eunuch and a foreign official in fine clothes and food, and he has been a big leader for 17 years.

But after constantly defeating and buriing, many challengers and careerists, he still firmly controls this unique person in the troubled times of the Northland, who is resented and feared becomes Liangshan Kou, who is feared and obeyed is called Liangshan righteous thief, and by the background forces behind the scenes and various people with relevant interests, he is called the violent and armed group of Liangshan people.

Although his beard has turned white, he still has clear eyes and resolute spirits, looking forward to his own high cup of persuasion, while looking at his comrades-in-arms, the team in the hall and the subordinates under the hall, under the surface of each of them, there is another side that is unknown.

For example, the military adviser and gentleman around him. Only a few people, including Lu Tianjun, know that his real surname is Xu, and he is an outstanding person from the overseas domain, known as one of the three talents of the East China Sea, the "Ghost Stock", and the only one he likes is a handsome child servant.

Another example is the second seat of Chen Ju, who is known as Taiyin Yao, is actually a non-lift, so the wife and concubine have a discordant relationship, and the small officials have fornication left and right and kill them angrily, fill in the fish pond and report to the official that he is lost, and one of the adulterers is the son and nephew of the observation envoy's family, but he was grabbed by the opponent and had to abandon his post and abscond. After arriving on the mountain, he readmitted more than a dozen women, and intensified the torture and play.

The three Zhu Changgong, known as Jin Yao, were not as good as they appeared to be when they were rich in the local area, and before they were raided and broke down, they privately did dirty work for the dignitaries in the state capital, and took the business of black money.

Even Jiuniang Lu Linglong, the only woman in the upper echelons of Liangshan, was born in the dust in her early years, an outstanding figure in the Qingzhou official education workshop, and a few years after being ransomed and bought by a certain sea merchant, she reappeared as the agent of the East China Sea Domain, Mrs. Lu, and she is now Lu Tianjun's close comrade-in-arms who supervises things inside and outside Liangshan, and even has a personal relationship.

Of course, Lu Tianjun is not the only guest in her scene, if she is regarded as a partner, it is inevitable that the green cloud will cover the top, and Lu Tianjun just admires her as a mature woman, gentle and considerate under the bed.

These people constitute the inner circle of Liangshan around Lu Tianjun, and they are also the largest force, and then the other powerful factions and their respective fields represented by the Nine Yao Seat constitute the top management of Liangshan.

These people, whose life experiences are completely different from those of the track, were forcibly pinched together because of this troubled era and became a giant force in Liangshan.

This can't help but make Lu Tianjun a little arrogant, and a little still nostalgic for the loss, not long after, these will leave him, but the suitable candidates to take over have not yet been decided, but let these leaders and subordinates who have just been born and died, and after winning the invasion, they are even more detached and disturbed.

What's more, he is accustomed to the identity of the Great Heavenly Monarch in this world, who is obedient to every word and respects, and is only in a corner, and being a rich man who is poor and extravagant, is not all his pursuits.

It wasn't until the entrance of the door official, singing Ji Wangsun and his entourage, that he re-showed a little polite smile. One of the main and purpose of today's banquet, the representative of the foreign domain, who had not appeared in public on the grounds that he had been sick, finally appeared.

This land of Ezo is just a land of feudal domain that was finally achieved by the Tang maritime merchants with the background of Yizhou during the Qianyuan period, which occupied the big island north of Fuso, and opened up the land for more than ten generations.

This Ji Bofan is the biggest of them. Recently, it was introduced as one of the trade objects of Liangshan, because a large amount of coal that was easy to mine was found in its land, and he began to bet on Liangshan with his predecessors.

Although it is known as the Hakka, it is a new feudal clan that is much inferior in terms of heritage and history compared to the more established Silla domain in the East China Sea, or the Yiju domain, and even many overseas vassals of the Fuso domain.

However, Liangshan's position itself is quite delicate, but it will not refuse a new channel, especially for the northland winter, which is a key source of carboniferous.

Although the biggest supporter of the Ming side is just a Tamna Domain, the princes standing behind this small Tamna Domain have different attitudes, and Liangshan is not their only choice.

Although Ezo is only a big island, it is geographically closer to the Fuso Domain, and from the origin, there is the shadow of the Yishu Domain, which I believe has touched the big names behind the Tamna Domain.

There are also some selfish reasons, but he is unwilling to retire so lightly.

After all, although Liangshan had a lot of dealings with foreign feudal domains before, it was mainly in the name of maritime merchants or private retainers, and the characters from the princes' families, even if it was a grandson, this was the first time for Liangshan.

Therefore, with the appearance of Ji Gongsun, under his silent gesture, some of the people gathered around Chief Jiuyao couldn't wait, showing the color of joy or expectation, loudly advocating and admiring. With the debut of the main characters, a variety of familiar performances began.

Fortunately, I was far enough away, and it was not easy to pay special attention to such a small person in the midst of the chaos, not to mention the person who had never been masked, so after the initial shock, I quickly calmed down and watched this group of people being introduced by the Honorable of the Nine Yao, and it was only ten steps away from the head seat.

In fact, it is not difficult to inquire about their identities and origins, this is said to be the grandson of the lord of the Ji Bo Domain on Ezo Island, so according to the feudal story of "Zhou Li" that I know, I can barely call Ji Gongsun.

In some respects, this figure can be considered quite handsome, but the eyebrows and eyes are a little slender, and the lips are thin, which looks awe-inspiring and dangerous, and undoubtedly has a different kind of attraction to women.

As he took his seat, he was humorous and frequently called and greeted with witty words, and the atmosphere at the VIP table finally became lively.

I had just sat down and drank a few sips of sour wine to calm my agitated mood, but there was an uproar around me again.

My head buzzed and swelled a lot, for I saw a figure walking towards me, and I couldn't help but cry out in secret. It's not the Luo Ke enemy I'm familiar with, but my brother Luo Hussar.

Although he didn't wear it, he was just wearing a cotton robe and a shirt, wrapped in a purple head. But it seems to have an invisible aura, so that wherever you walk, whether you are drunk or awake, those people can't help but make way to make a space.

This...... This...... But do you want to force me to take sides?

Although I didn't have to do this sooner or later, I didn't expect to come so early, and it was actually this kind of public occasion where almost a little bit of people from Liangshan were present.

You also think too highly of me, although this is just a small episode on the edge of the feast, but believe that these gossip or malicious mentality around me, it is estimated that it will not take the night to make everyone known.

Can I refuse, obviously not, the result of refusal on the spot is self-exclusion and Liangshan inside and outside. For most people, it may be just a joke that the main vision is not enough to see the wrong person, or someone who doesn't know what to do, but there will be no lack of villains who are blushing and profit-seeking, discounting the banner of anger or lessons, and finding me all kinds of trouble.

I could only instinctively follow what he said, and only the answer was the answer.

Then, in the eyes of envy and jealousy around me, I could only make a sincere and fearful toast in return, which was considered to have completed the effect he wanted.

When I sat down again, I was already surrounded by a sound of sycophants, nepotism and backers, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, as always.

"Ma Bu's right general, Liu Qi, can be handed over......"

That's the only word I can reply.

Well, can I say that when I was a moderator, I actually read the three classics that are known as the four classical masterpieces and must be read by history lovers, "Jin Ou Missing", "Li Zicheng" and "Huang Meiyu".

These three books just cover the late Tang Dynasty, the late Northern Song Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty, the different stages of the three feudal dynasties, the very representative changes of the times, all kinds of top-down power struggles in the last dynasties, and various peasant uprisings to struggle for survival from the bottom up.

and the universal norms of internal and external cause and effect of the rise and fall of all dynastic cycles, as well as the way of gain and loss.

Among them, the protagonist at the beginning of "Jin Ou Lack" seems to be this Liu Qi, and he is also the second historical figure in the same space and space that I have preliminarily confirmed after Zong Ze, but unfortunately there is a lack of reason to get close and make friends, so I simply threw this opportunity to the Luo brothers and saw what unexpected results would happen.

A drunken hot nuisance under cover.

"Do you think I'm too serious?"

Luo Hussar, who returned to his seat, whispered to Luo Kedi, who had a somewhat worried expression

"Or is it more useful to secretly befriend him and surprise him in the dark......"

"His private business and means of transportation, Lu Baiyan has long been eyeing it, but there is no suitable reason, those people are afraid of squeezing their own position, and they are just pressing"

"After all, there are the most martial artists on this mountain, and there are only a handful of really suitable civil servants......

"And among them, people who can be familiar with documents, can also operate and make things, and can manage accounts, not to mention the headquarters and other departments, even if they are in Liangshan, they can't find a few ......."

"So your relationship is considered to be a preemptive, and I can say it this time......"

"In this way, other people's temptations will not be able to be used......"

"In this mountain, not everyone has the patience to make friends with kindness like you......"

"Those other people, can't wait......"

It was the time in the banquet hall to drink blushing and drinking, and with the withdrawal of the big leader and a small number of people, the rest of the others finally let go of their minds, and with the last bit of restraint, they got up and changed the cup and took a staggering step, calling friends everywhere to gather and hook up.

All kinds of drunken drunkenness, and then yelling and screaming drunk, swaggering with bare chests and backs, and even punching and kicking with fists and feet without saying a word, and then fighting together and other banquets with the lower limit, it is easy to make people dizzy and stunned.

In addition, some people who are also clerks and seniority, bad old men and obscene uncles or something, from time to time to take the test and surround the friendship, I really can't resist, run out to be quiet, and release the pressure in my lower abdomen by the way, but I saw an acquaintance,

The former leader of the rebel army, Jiang An, with a melancholy and lost expression on his face, hid in the corner alone and drank alcohol. I've learned a little bit about him.

Although he seems to be quite decent, he is now the deputy head of the capital, and he can be stuck at the bottom of the middle level of Liangshan, and it is not the order of the regular army, but as a private subordinate with an uncertain establishment.

In private, there are no more than fifty people in charge of the leadership, and in addition to Wang Fu'er, who is desperately following him, there are only a dozen old departments left, and there is no Cheng Dù who is effective or has made a difference.

Compared with the previous leader of thousands of people, the leader of the rebel army who was on his own side. It's a world of difference. Since he subdued Liangshan, his more powerful subordinates have been dismantled and assigned to other departments, not to mention contact, even if they meet.

What's more, being selected as the leader of the military division, although there are some privileges and conveniences, but it also has no chance to chase fame and wealth in the normal way, after all, as the only escort of the military division in Liangshan, the discipline and possibility that they need to go into battle to fight for their lives are almost minimal, and they are usually more on the side of the station and the tribe or something.

This is undoubtedly a constraint and setback for Jiang'an, who has quite ambitions and demands.

"Putting the head ......"

I thought about it, but I still didn't get out of the way, and said out loud,

"Don't call it that,"

When he saw me, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Or call me the head of the capital, or the brother of the general...... Now there is no difference between you and me, and we can talk about it as equals."

"After all, there are very few acquaintances you can still see on this mountain."

"Do you know ......?"

He looked down and sighed

"Cao Qianzi, several of them, all dead,......"

I was about to say something when he suddenly interrupted me

"Not in battle, but in the night walking mountain road and falling to death, and drunk head fell in the manger and drowned, and was killed by the head of the goalpost......"

"If I hadn't had the heart to inquire and secretly looked at the corpse......"

"Who would have thought that these sturdy men like cattle were covered in bruises and bruises, and they still had blood clots in their mouths and noses when they died"

At this, he glared at me with red eyes.

"Do you believe it? Anyway, I believe it."

I was silent, the shady curtain of the power struggle in Liangshan has affected these marginal people, then I am really lucky.

"Sometimes I can't help but wonder if I'm hurting them......"

He shook his head and shook his head a little self-defeatingly.

"I envy you, wherever this ability goes, it can't be useful......"

"No matter who is in power, they will not deliberately target any ......"

At this point, he was depressed again.

"Do you remember that father-in-law?"

I thought about it for a moment and spoke again

“……”

He suddenly looked up at me in amazement

"This noble man is still living, and now he is the guest of honor in Liangshan......

Suddenly, I saw a variety of expressions on his face, such as remorse, resentment, and resentment

Since I had this opportunity to meet Jiang'an, I simply revealed my discovery a little, and then he was drenched in all kinds of gratitude, patted his chest, shook his arm, and vowed to repay one or two.

After all, it seems that there is something that our private position is consistent.
