Chapter 4 Zhu Gui's Ambition
In front of the wooden window, a young man with short hair wearing a cyan cardigan and a head to his shoulders looked at the endless reedy water, turned his head and said, "Xiao Er, take two jars of good wine, and then cut five catties of cooked beef." ”
Xiao Er, who was wearing a small round hat on his head and a rag on his shoulder, said politely: "Wait a minute, the guest officer, the wine and food will be ready immediately." ”
This is the two Deng Long, the next day before dawn, the two rode horses, galloped all the way, at sunset, arrived at this hotel.
After a while, Xiao Er brought a jar of wine, brought a plate of beef, and said, "The guest officer uses it slowly." With that, he went to the back.
Lu Zhishen didn't think about it, picked up a bowl of wine, and was about to send it to his mouth, Deng Long hurriedly blocked in front of Lu Zhishen's mouth, and said in a low voice: "Cross slope." ”
Lu Zhishen's hand shook, pretending that nothing happened, but his face became pale, and the encounter with the cross slope was really an unforgettable mark for his life.
Deng Long picked up the wine, smelled it, pretended to be intoxicated, looked at the corner of the wall and said, "What a fragrant wine!" I just don't know if I can see the sun the next day if I drink it. ”
The big man sitting in the corner was slightly stunned, stood up and said, "Good man don't have to laugh, the small shop is doing serious business." The guest officer can eat if he wants, and if he doesn't want to eat, forget it. ”
Deng Long looked at Zhu Gui, who was sitting in the corner with a smile on his face, and joked with a smile: "Oh, when did [Dry Land Sudden Law] start to do serious business, Xiao Ke is curious!" ”
As soon as Zhu Gui heard this, Deng Long said his nickname, his eyebrows tightened, and he said quietly: "I don't know which way the hero arrived, Zhu Gui is rude!" ”
Deng Long stood up and saluted and said, "A good man doesn't dare to be a hero, Deng Long of Erlong Mountain is down." ”
"[Flower Monk] Lu Zhishen."
Zhu Gui was surprised: "Lord Deng Zhai is not at ease in Erlong Mountain, why did he come to my Liangshan?" ”
At that moment, Deng Long told Zhu Gui the ins and outs, and tactfully expressed his desire to join Liangshan.
Zhu Gui thought for a moment, and wondered: "Leader Deng, I'm afraid that the owner of my village can't accommodate so many of you, so you might as well find another place." ”
"Oh, then how do you know that the owner of your village doesn't leave me waiting?" Deng Long asked?
Zhu Gui touched the cold sweat on his head and replied: "Leader Deng doesn't know, Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army in the past 800,000 years, came to join the gang, and was troubled by the owner of my village in every way, so he stayed to be the fourth leader, there are so many of you, the owner of the village will never dare to leave you waiting." ”
Deng Long didn't answer Zhu Gui's words, but asked, "I don't know how many chairs Leader Zhu sits in Liangshan?" ”
"The villain has little ability, and he has never sat on the chair." Zhu Gui said embarrassedly. He is only the leader who manages the Yangsan Hotel, and there are more than a dozen leaders like him in Yangsan.
Deng Long looked like he had already known this, and continued to ask: "How old is Leader Zhu?" ”
"It's been thirty-three years."
Deng Long said forcefully: "Do you still want to sell wine here for the rest of your life?" ”
Zhu Gui sighed and said, "If not, what else?" The fourth chair of the 800,000 forbidden army sect leader, I ...... Alas! ”
Deng Long saw that Zhu Gui was depressed, and knew that the matter was halfway through, so he hit the railway while it was hot: "What do you think of your village owner?" ”
Zhu Gui didn't think about it, and said: "The amount of gas is small, there is no room for people, and it can't be a big thing!" ”
"Then the position of the owner of the village may sit for a long time?"
"No, sooner or later, you'll get into trouble."
This time it was Deng Long's turn to be strange, the last sentence he just asked casually, and Zhu Gui answered without any deviation.
"How?"
Zhu Gui saw that everything that should be said was said, so he said without scruples: "Liangshan is eight hundred miles in a radius of water, and there are dozens of miles of land in the middle, that is, the official army has been surrounded outside for three and a half years, with thousands of acres of fertile land in the cottage, you can also live, you say, you can attack, retreat can defend, such a fat nest, which is not greedy, how long can he Wang Lun's village master position be kept?" ”
"Not bad! Does Leader Zhu still want to continue to follow Wang Lun? ”
Zhu Gui didn't understand the meaning of Deng Long's words, coupled with the question and answer with Deng Long just now, and the slightest unwillingness in his heart, he knelt down on his knees as if he had been poured lead and said, "Brother is above, please accept the worship of the younger brother."
Deng Long hurriedly helped Zhu Gui up, and said happily: "Brother doesn't have to be like this, our brother will definitely be able to make a career in the future!"
Lu Zhishen saw that Deng Long had dealt with Zhu Gui in a few words, and laughed and said: "Brother, don't worry, in the future, we will eat meat in Liangshan and drink a lot, and no one will be angry." ”
Zhu Gui saw Lu Zhishen take off his hat, take off his shirt, and leak out the embroidery on half of his body, and asked in disbelief: "You are Luda and Lu Ti who killed Zheng Tu in Guanxi with three punches."
Lu Zhishen patted his fat belly and said with a smile: "It's the Sprinkle family, the Sprinkle family has been sitting here for a long time, and they can't drink a sip of the rest assured wine, isn't it a brother who is reluctant?" ”
When Lu Zhishen introduced himself before, he only said that it was [Flower Monk], Zhu Gui didn't think about it for a while, and now Lu Zhishen leaked the embroidery all over his body, and Zhu Gui remembered Lu Zhishen, who was famous in Tokyo recently.
Zhu Gui hurriedly asked Xiao Er to change the wine and food, confessed to Lu Zhishen, and toasted three bowls of wine in succession, and then sat down.
Deng Long looked left and right, and whispered to Zhu Gui: "Can these people be relied on?" ”
Zhu Gui smiled confidently: "Brother, don't worry, the people in the hotel are all my confidants." ”
"You also know the intention of this time, I want to see the head of the Lin Sect here, brother, is there a way?"
"This is not difficult, after dark, I will ask Xiao Er to go to the cottage and inform Wang Lun that there is a caravan passing by, and then I will tell Lin Jiaotou to go down the mountain."
Deng Long said strangely: "Wang Lun doesn't trust Sect Leader Lin, why did he ask him to take people down the mountain." ”
Zhu Gui smiled bitterly: "Brother doesn't know, although Wang Lun has a small amount of energy, he has a good mind. He knew that Lin Jiaotou had nowhere to go now, so the dirty work and tiring work were handed over to Lin Jiaotou, and there was ......, and his brother would know when Lin Jiaotou came. ”
After discussing the matter, the three of them ate some wine and food, chatted about some interesting things on the table, and the time passed quickly.
At midnight, there was a commotion on the water, Lin Chong came to Zhugui Hotel with more than ten little minions, took off his felt hat, sat on the table, and asked the little minions to sit down too.
Zhu Gui took a few pots of wine, greeted the little minions, came to Lin Chong with a pot of wine and said, "Lin Jiaotou has a sip of wine to warm up his body." As he spoke, he got a glass of wine.
Lin Chong took the wine and drank it all, and saw that the other little minions had also drunk it, and was about to ask about Zhu Gui's caravan, but 'bang, bang, bang', a sound of falling to the ground sounded.
Lin Chong looked back, only to see the little minion fall to the ground, he was startled, and was about to have a seizure, only to see a fat monk come out from behind, and when he saw the monk's face clearly, Lin Chong hurriedly ran forward, grabbed Lu Zhishen's arms, and said with excitement on his face: "Senior brother, why are you here?" ”
Lu Zhishen pulled Lin Chong's hands away, and bowed down with tears in his eyes: "I can't stop you!" The brother is thousands of miles away from home, and the brother should take care of the younger siblings. Who knew that after escorting my brother to Cangzhou, I hurried back to Tokyo, but I didn't expect it to be a step too slow. ”
wiped the corners of his eyes and continued: "My younger brother and sister actually ...... in order not to be ruined by which high office Unexpectedly...... The cantilever committed suicide. Speaking of this, Lu Zhishen couldn't hold back his grief anymore, and lay on the ground and cried.
When Lin Chong heard this, his face turned pale. Immediately afterwards, his face turned purple and black, a mouthful of blood came out of his mouth, and his body could no longer support it, so he fell backwards. Lu Zhishen hurriedly supported Lin Chong, Zhu Gui glanced at the brown blood clot that Lin Chong spit out, and said to Lu Zhishen: "Under the mixture of joy and sorrow, Lin Jiaotou vomited out the filth that had accumulated in his heart in the past, and his body was unharmed. ”
Lu Zhishen breathed a sigh of relief, and after helping Lin Chong up, he comforted: "Brother, don't be sad, when you recover in the future, the two of us brothers will go to Tokyo to get the bird's head!" ”
Lin Chong knew that Lu Zhishen was comforting him, and when his body recovered some strength, he pushed Lu Zhishen's hands away and promised, "Okay." ”
Deng Long saw the blood clot that Lin Chong spit out behind the door, and he also breathed a sigh of relief. The original Lin Chong didn't die of illness because he saw that there was no hope of revenge and the blood accumulated in his chest exploded. Now that Lin Chong, who has gone to the troubles, he can't think about what kind of energy will burst out in the future.
Pushing open the door, Deng Long clasped his fists and saluted: "I have heard the name of the head of the Lin Sect for a long time, and when I see it today, Xiao Ke Sansheng is lucky!" ”
Lin Chong smiled self-deprecatingly, and replied sadly in his heart: "Even the great name, the big name that can't even be protected by the family?"
"Lin Jiaotou also asks for condolences, people can't be resurrected after death. The sister-in-law went to death for the sake of innocence and chastity, and she was blinded by death. Besides, if the revenge has not been avenged, how can the head of the Lin sect be depressed. Deng Long comforted.
Lin Chong listened to Deng Long's words, his spirit was shocked, and he said firmly: "Yes, the revenge has not been avenged, Lin Chong has been a hero!" After speaking, he saluted Deng Long and asked, "I haven't consulted the famous man yet."
Lu Zhishen hurriedly introduced on the side: "This is Brother Deng Long, the owner of Erlong Cottage, this time we are here to join our brothers." ”
Lin Chong slapped the table and said with annoyance: "That Wang Lun is narrow-minded, seeing that you and I know each other, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep you." ”
Zhu Gui leaned over and agreed: "Yes, Wang Lun really can't tolerate his brother, as long as he ......." At that moment, I told Lin Chong about the strategy discussed with Deng Long.
Lin Chong said with a hideous face: "That's it, this time it's going to be called that poor sour to look good." After speaking, he lifted his hem and bowed: "Brother is above, please accept Lin Chong's worship."
Deng Long didn't stop Lin Chong, after receiving this worship, Lin Chong's business is his own business, and Lin Chong's hatred is his own big hatred. When Lin Chong raised his head, Deng Long helped Lin Chong up, and then picked up a bowl of wine, and said happily: "You and my brother met today, it's really fate, come, dry this bowl of wine."
Zhu Gui also picked up a bowl of wine and proposed: "It is the will of God to gather together today, why don't we four brothers obey the will of God and become brothers with different surnames!" ”
Deng Long saw that Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong both nodded, so he agreed.
Zhu Gui hurriedly found the candlestick of the incense case, and the four of them bowed down and said: "The emperor is above, today I Deng Long, Lin Chong, Luda, and Zhu Gui are brothers with different surnames, and I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day!" After reading it, he took the bowl of wine from the table and drank it all.
After drinking, Zhu Gui asked, "I don't know if my brother is Guigeng this year?" ”
Deng Long replied: "It has been 25 years since then. ”
Lin Chong followed: "I am thirty-four years old. ”
Lu Zhishen said embarrassedly: "The Sprinkle family is Chinese New Year's Eve two today!" ”
Zhu Gui said with a smile: "I'm thirty years old, but Sect Leader Lin is the oldest among the four of us, please accept the younger brother's worship." ”
Deng Long and Lu Zhishen also clasped their fists and bowed: "I've seen my brother." ”
This made Lin Chong at a loss, and hurriedly helped the three of them up in a hurry, and said angrily; "It's all my own brothers, where did I get so many gifts." After saying that, he burst out laughing.
Lu Zhishen laughed and said, "Senior brother, you have to take more care of your brother in the future." ”
While a few people were talking, Zhu Gui had already removed the candlestick of the incense case and rearranged the banquet. After eating a few bowls of wine, Zhu Gui said: "This time I went down the mountain, I couldn't get any money, and after I went back, Wang Lun would definitely blame the head of the Lin Lin sect!" ”
Lin Chong didn't care and said: "So what, let that guy live happily for a day." ”
Deng Long agreed: "Yes, wait for tomorrow night to settle the account." ”
