Chapter 378: Brother
(Guaranteed chapter 1, thank you for your enthusiastic support, thank you.) ¥f Top Novel,)
……
Last year, the Great Sui fought with the Northern Yan, relying on the Grand Canal, and used Xingyang County as a base camp for hoarding grain and grass, so it suppressed and even exterminated the green forest bandits who gathered around, forcing many people to flee away. Originally, everyone thought that the war between the two countries would be protracted and last for years. Unexpectedly, in just two months, it ended in the failure of Beiyan. Those who had just left immediately ran back to their old jobs.
Wagangzhai is one of them.
Coming to Zhai Rang's territory again, Wu Fan's ears read and were full of emotion.
Why?
It's actually simple.
The empire dominates the world, the Grand Canal is unimpeded from north to south, Xingyang is becoming more and more prosperous, and even the robbers of the green forest are also a lot richer, how can people not be surprised?
Qian Han, the captain of the Eagle Yang Guard, integrated the Xingyang Eagle Yang Wei Hundred Households, and had no free time.
Zhou Qun, the titular captain of Qianniuwei, has a sensitive identity, and he himself is an interesting person.
So.
Wu Fan came to Wagangzhai with only a high pet.
The little minion guarding the door knew Wu Fan, and directly introduced Wu Fan to the cottage, and at the same time sent someone to report.
Far away.
"Brother! Hahaha...... Why do you have time to come to me? ”
In the heroic laughter, Zhai Rang strode to greet the meteor.
Wagangzhai is rich, and Zhai Rang wears a natural person who looks like a dog.
Zhai Rang's silk and satin are not at all like bandits and thieves who rob houses, but more like the shopkeeper of a business house.
Wu Fan hurried to catch up and said with a smile: "What do you mean to have time?" You are my eldest brother, and I am your brother-in-law. I'm coming to see you, take a while? ”
Zhai Rang grabbed Wu Fan's arm. Laughing: "Oops! Brother is right! Hahaha......"
and to the Gathering of Righteousness.
Zhai asked someone to make a table of wine and food, and asked Wu Fan to sit down.
Wu Fan looked around. Tut: "I won't come for a while, Wagangzhai...... It's not what it used to be! Big brother is well managed! ”
In the past, Wagangzhai, not to mention the broken horse Zhang Fei, was not much better.
Now Wagangzhai has a new look, a large number of people and is well-equipped.
Wu Fan even saw the extremely difficult contraband such as the bed crossbow lined up in the watchtowers on the left and right of the walled gate!
Zhai Rang smiled proudly and said, "I have to say that you are a brother, you are powerful, if you don't have you." How could the Great Sui unify the Southern Liang and Northern Yan? If it weren't for you, how could Xingyang be so prosperous? Hahaha...... I've heard it all! Brother, you ......", Zhai Rang wanted to praise Wu Fan, but found that he didn't read much and couldn't think of any good words, so he had to give a thumbs up and said, "Tut! Awesome! ”
Zhai Rang seemed to be very enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that Wu Fanjue was false.
[The change of identity has led to an estrangement that never existed in the past? 】
Wu Fan thought to himself.
Zhai Rang took a look at the high pets around Wu Fan. Said: "Forget to ask, this brother is ......"
Wu Fan waved his hand and said angrily: "Don't pay attention to him, eat mixed rice!" ”
Gao Pet doesn't like to take care of people. Studying all day long - eating, eating good, eating delicious.
Gao Zhong didn't hear Zhai Rang's inquiry, and rolled his eyes in a daze.
Others don't understand. Wu Fan understands that this guy is waiting to be served!
In order to alleviate Zhai Rang's embarrassment. Wu Fan took the initiative to ask: "Where is Lingling?" Why don't you see anyone? ”
Zhai Rang bared his teeth for a long time and sighed: "The girl is too wild! I ran away to my second brother alone. Find Yingying to play. If it weren't for the second brother's arraignment...... Alas! I'm so! ”
Wu Fan smiled and said: "She is good at martial arts, she travels the rivers and lakes, and she can't suffer any losses!" Besides, who does it meet, mentioning the names of the three brothers, who can't give a few thin noodles? ”
Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin, Xiong Kuohai, Wu Fan.
The Mid-Autumn Festival of the year before the year.
Wu Fan has a poor reputation in the rivers and lakes.
Of the remaining three, which one is not so famous?
Especially Shan Xiongxin, the chief scoop of the green forest in Qizhou, can eat as well as the north and south of the river, not to mention the boundary between Sili and Qilu.
A strange brilliance flashed in Wu Fan's eyes, and he asked, "Brother Hu Che'er, and Zhang Oyster ......"
Zhai Rang was happy and said with a smile: "They went to Xuzhou to buy goods, but they didn't come back!" ”
The so-called goods are, to put it bluntly, stolen goods.
If you rob the goods in Xingyang, you can't deal with them in Xingyang, and it's easy to cause trouble, which is an unwritten rule on the green forest road.
Wu Fan nodded thoughtfully.
Soon.
After the wine and food were served, Zhai Rang invited Wu Fan to take a seat.
The rice bucket was opened by Wu Fan, and he asked someone to buy food for him alone.
Zhai Rang poured a bowl of wine for Wu Fan and said, "First bowl, celebrate the reunion of our brothers!" ”
Wu Fan picked up the wine and said with a smile: "Okay! ”
Drink together.
Zhai Rang poured another bowl of wine and said, "Second bowl, congratulations to my brother on his great ambitions!" ”
Wu Fan picked up the wine and said with a smile: "I also wish my brother to prosper!" ”
Drink for two.
Zhai Rang poured the third bowl of wine, but sighed: "The third bowl, I hope for the friendship of our brothers...... Everlasting. ”
Wu Fan pursed his lips, didn't drink, and didn't even hold the wine bowl.
Wu Fan sat down gloomily and didn't say anything for a long time.
Zhai Rang is not standing, not sitting......
"Alas!"
Wu Fan sighed.
Looking up at Zhai Rang, Wu Fan frowned and said, "Big brother!" Am I your brother? ”
Zhai Rang said firmly: "Yes! Under the full moon, we swear by blood: 'We do not seek to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month'! You are not my brother, who are? ”
"Good!"
Wu Fan nodded.
"Bang!"
Wu Fan slapped the table and jumped up.
Looking at Zhai Rang angrily, Wu Fan said angrily: "Since this is the case, then what are you doing like this?" Do you think my identity has changed and I look down on you? Or are you afraid that I have something to do with you? Start with the entrance gate...... Look at you, do you treat me as a brother? Temptation, temptation, temptation! That's how you did to your brother? Yes? Chilling! ”
Zhai Rang was speechless.
Wu Fan smiled miserably and sighed: "You are like this, the third brother is like this...... What's wrong with all of you? ”
Zhai Rang sat down. His lips pursed, and he said quietly: "Since my brother has said this." I'll just get out of the way! ”
Wu said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it! ”
Zhai Rang organized his words and said, "It's not a matter of identity. If you can have today's appearance, we are all happy for you, proud of you, and your face is more glorious. Be...... It was the third brother who wrote to me, saying that you were killing in Jingzhou, and even ...... Even the elderly, weak, women and children are not spared. I want to ask you, is this really the case? ”
Wu Fan's face was gloomy and he said, "Yes!" ”
Zhai said: "Why? People like us still pay attention to thieves and have a way! ”
Wu Fan rubbed his eyebrows and said, "People are in the rivers and lakes." In spite of oneself! If I don't kill them, they will kill me! War is such a thing, one or two sentences are not clear...... But I can sue you! If I hadn't killed them immediately, the entire city of Xiangyang would have been plunged into war, and at that time, do you know how many people would have died? Killing one person and saving 100 people is a merit or a demerit! He doesn't understand me, don't you understand me as much as he does? Do I think so? ”
Wu Fan didn't say a word about Zhai Rang's run.
Wu Fan's voice was sonorous: "I can sue you." Even if I have the opportunity to choose again, I will still not be soft, I will even kill harder! Because what I'm doing is right! That's right! ”
Take a break.
Wu's tone was fierce. said: "Brotherhood, affection and heart!" If you don't believe me, will you tell strangers to believe me? ”
Zhai Rang sighed. said: "It's our hypocrisy, don't blame the brothers!" ”
Wu looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle. The circles under his eyes are red, and he looks really wronged.
Zhai made his heart even more guilty. picked up the wine bowl and said, "Big brother will make amends to you, brother...... Bear with me! ”
There are steps down, where doesn't Wu Fan continue?
Killing the wine in the bowl with Zhai Rang, Wu's affection gradually converged.
As if he was reluctant to squeeze out some smiles, Wu Fan said: "The things buried in the sky, have you disposed of them?" ”
Nearly two million taels of silver were hidden in the waterhole of the mountain behind Tianwangzhai on the Jizhou grain tax ship that was robbed from the hands of the Maitreya Sect.
Zhai Rang said with a smile: "Forget to tell you that the Hu Che'er brothers and Zhang Hao brothers went to Xuzhou precisely to exchange those copper coins for real money." ”
"Oh!"
Wu Fan was stunned.
Zhai Rang said again: "The third brother is not doing well in the army, and he has a heart...... Have the heart to continue to fall into the grass. ”
Wu Fan opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say it after all.
[People go to high places, water flows to low places, and the vast sea is more and more lively. 】
[It's also true.] 】
[The official face is deceitful and deceitful, not suitable for the majestic sea. 】
Wu Fan slandered.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Wu Fan leaned back in his chair and said, "Big brother, my brother is here today for another purpose. ”
Zhai Rang hurriedly said: "You say! ”
Wu Fan thought for a long time, and first asked: "Have you heard some rumors that the Son of Heaven wants Mount Tai to seal Zen." ”
Zhai said: "Yes! ”
Wu Fan said truthfully: "It's true, I'm afraid there will be movement in two months!" ”
Zhai Rang disagreed, and said with a smile: "What does it have to do with me?" ”
Wu Fan dipped in wine, drew a map of Xingyang and Luoyang on the table, and said: "The Son of Heaven is touring the east, no matter how you go, Xingyang is a must-pass place." At the moment, I want you to mobilize the green forest heroes in the Xingyang area, take advantage of the time, leave temporarily, avoid the limelight and come back. ”
Zhai Rang rubbed his cheeks and wondered: "If we don't come out of the door, will disaster fall from the sky?" ”
Wu Fan Zhengse said: "The empire has newly destroyed the Southern Liang and Northern Yan, and the Son of Heaven will travel, and they will inevitably make moves." Plus...... Coupled with the heavy meaning of Mount Tai's sealing of Zen, many people want to destroy it with bad intentions. For example, the last case of the disappearance of the Jizhou grain tax ship and the fire of the Xingyang granary, those people hid on various hills, pretending to be people from the green forest. You want to! And if they do it...... If you don't eat hanging, who will? The empire will send troops indiscriminately and in general. ”
Zhai Rang thought about it carefully, and his heart was terrified.
But.
Zhai Rang smiled bitterly and said, "I believe your words, brother, others ...... I won't listen! ”
Wu Fan quietly waited for the following.
Zhai Rang said: "In the final analysis, wealth is moving. Xingyang is rich in oil, and people on the green forest road are flocking together, this one is gone, and there will be one to occupy the magpie's nest immediately...... Everyone is afraid that after leaving, their inheritance will be taken away by others, and they are even more reluctant to live now. ”
Benefit.
Again, interests.
"Persuade! It's better to go through the motions than not to say it after all! ”
"If you don't know what to do, our brothers can't take care of it!"
In the end, Wu Fan only said two sentences
