Two days later, Cai Longyu and the old military division beside him, just like Lu Bing and Duan Qingfeng went to Yanyin Mountain to pay a visit, the two of them rode to Dengzhou Mansion and declared that they wanted to see Lu Bing. Lu Bing happily met with him, and said with a smile after seeing Cai Longyu: "Brother Cai also wants to sing a solo knife to the meeting, but I don't know if you can sing it, and whether you can make the result convince me to lose." ”

The old military advisor smiled: "Master Lu is really laughing, Long Yu, this kid is straightforward, he offended Master Lu last time, and I hope Master Lu will forgive me." ”

"Who are you, old gentleman? I saw it last time, but I didn't pay a visit, and it was rude. Lu Bing knew that everyone in the rivers and lakes had a good face, and he knew the truth that Lu Dao raised his hand and did not hit the smiling person, so he respectfully hugged his fist and said.

"I don't dare to call Mr., I am Long Yu's uncle below, my cheap name is Cai Liqun, and I have seen Master Lu." The old military master hugged his fist.

"Sit down, sit down." Lu Bing welcomed the two to the upper seat in the mansion, and then ordered people to pour tea and water, and they were very enthusiastic and talked and laughed. Outsiders want to see this and think that it is a visit from a friend, how can they think that in the hearts of these two sides, they have long regarded each other as opponents who will fight without saying a word.

Cai Liqun took a sip of tea before saying: "Our uncle and nephew don't have the ability to reach the sky like Master Lu, so naturally they don't dare to break into the Lu Mansion alone. I hope that Master Lu can raise his noble hand and let go of Xue Qi, the big boss of Yushan, and thank you here first. ”

"Mr. Cai, don't be busy thanking you first, let's talk about business first. What do you think you will do if you rob us of our silver? Lu Bing cut to the chase and asked straight to the point.

Cai Liqun said: "Naturally, it will be returned to Master Lu, Master Lu can rest assured, we will apologize to you first." In about half an hour, the silver cart will arrive, and we will return it in full. Of course, in order to express our apologies, we will give you another thousand taels of silver, you see? ”

"A thousand taels sent me away? Do you know that you hijacked the silver cart and caused me to be unable to cash it out to the depositors in time, and our reputation was damaged as a result. Not to mention how much it is worth to spend money and effort to fight with you this time, let's just say that our loss of credibility and guests is far more than this thousand taels. I didn't want to make peace by giving me this thousand taels. It's just calling me a beggar and slapping me in the face! Besides, do you think I, Lu Bing, am the one who sends this money! Lu Bing is not angry and arrogant.

Cai Longyu stood up at this moment, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. It's like a fight. Lu Bing squinted at him, while Cai Liqun also looked at Cai Longyu nervously. Cai Longyu stepped forward in two steps, hesitated step by step, and it was difficult step by step as if he had made some big decision, but he knelt down in front of Lu Bing and said: "I, Cai Longyu, am a rough person, I don't know how to speak, I offended Master Lu, I will make amends to you." As he spoke, he kowtowed to Lu Bing three times. Then he said: "If you want to kill, you will kill me, follow you, kneel down in the world, and kneel to the ground." Then there is kneeling parents, today is the first time that Cai Longyu has knelt for outsiders. But it's not a shame to kneel for my brother, I just ask you to let Xue Qi go, I asked him to come to Dengzhou, and I have the responsibility to redeem him. This matter is only related to me Cai Longyu alone, and it has nothing to do with the brothers in other villages, if Master Lu wants to do something, just do it to me alone. ”

Lu Bing smiled, this Cai Longyu is very interesting, and he is also very righteous. However, this may also be that they saw that Lu Bing could mobilize the soldiers and horses of Dengzhou Mansion at will, coupled with Shen Yew's efforts, other guards in Shandong also sent troops to patrol the mountains, so they thought that Lu Bing's power in the court was still the same, and he was even the emperor of the soil in Shandong.

For a time, the ringing horse was avoided by the Wuthering Mountains Forest Mansion, and became a rat crossing the street and everyone shouted and beaten, and it was quite comic that this was not the duty of the officers and soldiers, all this was just the merit of money. Therefore, based on the above reasons, Cai Longyu may pretend to be like this, win Lu Bing's forgiveness, and escape the catastrophe in front of him.

Just as Lu Bing's conjecture, Shandong Xiangma lived a miserable life in the "unusual" dedication of the officers and soldiers in the mountains, even if this only happened in the past one or two days, but it made the proud and arrogant Xiangma on weekdays have their self-esteem frustrated and depressed. Cai Longyu thought to himself that the next days would definitely be even more sad, so he came to ask Lu Bing, hoping that Lu Bing could spare others a way to live, and Lu Bing was righteous, and kneeling for his brother could make Lu Bing feel that he was also a good man, and maybe he could get through the war safely.

Lu Bing only guessed Cai Longyu's misunderstanding, thinking that his power was still waiting, but he still couldn't guarantee whether Cai Longyu really regarded death as his home and went to the soup for righteousness, or deliberately made Lu Bing have a good impression of him, which has achieved his other ulterior goals. Therefore, Lu Bing wanted to give it a try and test Cai Longyu's temperament.

Lu Bing smiled and helped Cai Longyu up, and then said, "Brother Cai, please hurry up, don't be polite." That's it, I won't beat you, I won't punish you, I won't kill you, I appreciate you as a talent, Shandong's chief scoop is a wonderful flower in our Qilu land, absolutely outstanding. So from today on, you can follow me, and I will ensure that your future is as bright as glory and wealth. But don't keep your men, because Xue Qi has already killed him by mistake, and in order to cover up this, I will kill the rest of his subordinates and bury him. Although Xue Qi is a robber, but I am not an official now, it is not good to kill, in the future, if someone frames the blame, then I can't afford to bear the blame, and I must cut the grass and eradicate the roots to cover up the truth. ”

"I'm Caoni" Cai Longyu is still a bloody man in the end, Shandong men are righteous Ling Ran, especially Xiangma cares more about this, so Cai Longyu is angry in his heart, and he can't care about it so much, his face changed and he scolded, and before he finished scolding, he was stopped by Cai Liqun, who was already frightened and pale, and yelled at him: "Long Yu, take the overall situation as the most important thing and the brothers next to you." ”

"Oh, I just remembered when I talked about the brothers next to me, it's okay for you to mess with me, I promise that you are not to blame for what you did before, but you have so many brothers under you, it is difficult for me to get all of them clean and clean. In order to stabilize our order in Shandong, and also for you not to have anything to do with them in the future, I decided to send troops to exterminate them all. I've done this with good intentions. Brother Cai must understand, and I still need Brother Cai to cooperate with me, lure them out, let them tie their hands and kill them. Brother Cai, don't worry, after the matter is completed, I will ensure that you are prosperous and rich, and the official residence is above a hundred households, which can be regarded as the glory of the ancestors, and gold and silver are naturally indispensable to you. Wife and children hot kang head. How many mothers-in-law can afford to play, and they don't have to do the trick of licking blood on the tip of the knife, how good it is to live in peace. Lu Bing said lightly.

Cai Longyu couldn't hold back any longer. Suddenly grabbed the heavy wooden chair on the side and slammed it towards Lu Bing's head, and shouted loudly: "Lao Tzu and you will die together, and those who hurt my brother will die!" ”

Lu Bing laughed wildly. Take the knife out of its sheath and put it in like a sheath. After completing all the actions in an instant, and then seeing that the heavy and sturdy chair was suddenly broken into several pieces, Lu Bingzan said: "Shandong people are righteous, and they really live up to their reputation, I was teasing you just now, and your brothers have nothing to do." The head is broken and the blood flows This does not mean that he is a good man, for the life and death of his brothers, such a tough guy as Brother Cai is willing to kneel for me. This is what a hero! Lu admired, so let's do it. Don't pay back the silver, just treat it as my brother and give my eldest brother a welcome gift. ”

Lu Bing saw that Cai Longyu was righteous in nature, but the previous kneeling did have false elements, but he still mentioned it, which was regarded as a praise for Cai Longyu and gave him a big face. Cai Longyu and Cai Liqun's uncle and nephew were stunned there, and they didn't understand for a long time, what the hell was Lu Bing doing.

"Come on, bring Xue Qi up." Lu Bing saw that the two of them didn't understand, so he asked his subordinates to bring Xue Qi up. Cai Longyu only calmed down after seeing that Xue Qi was fine, and Lu Bing said, "Xue Qi, you go down first." ”

Xue Qi respectfully hugged his fists and saluted and left, and Lu Bing said: "Brother Cai, don't be suspicious, this matter is that the two of us are too impulsive, in fact, I blame me for not taking into account the interests of our brothers on the road at the beginning, you must accept this money." When you are a brother, you still have something to ask the eldest brother, if you don't take this money, it's really hard for me to speak. ”

"Then I'll save money for my subordinates, brother, please speak." Cai Longyu said, Lu Bing first and then salute, the opposite way, and Cai Longyu was also subdued, and now he treats each other with courtesy, which is the most appropriate for a man like Cai Longyu who is a righteous man in the green forest, and the people are absolutely obedient.

"Brother Cai only needs to be so so"

—————————————————————————————————————

"Wenfu, do you think it's useful to rein in Cai Longyu's gang?" Duan Qingfeng hugged his shoulders and said, Xia Dade also nodded and said: "I also think it's a waste of money, you said that we have to transfer money from Jinan Mansion again, although from now on, we will no longer worry about people in the green forests of Shandong Province robbing the road and goods, but is this price a little too big." This money is enough for them to eat and drink for a lifetime, but these bandits earn our hard-earned money, and our money is not scraped from the sky, so we can't spend it like this. ”

"I agree with the second brother's words, if this group of green forest heroes can fight and fight and each is a master, it will be worth the money, but they are obviously not the opponents of ordinary officers and soldiers, otherwise it would not be possible to be defeated by us so easily. So what's the use of you spending money to feed them, and what do you want to do? Duan Qingfeng said, Xia Dade smiled at Duan Qingfeng, expressing his gratitude for his support for his arguments.

Xia Dade then said: "Third brother, not only that, they are Xiangma and anti-thieves, there are still a lot of people, no matter how effective they are, if you rein in them, what will Zhu Houxi think if he knows the Dao?" They will think that you are going to rebel, and this will lead to our death. It's hard to live a few days of stable life, why can't you sit still? ”

Lu Bing suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, since the last time he was vomited blood by Zhu Houxi, Lu Bing vomited blood for the second time, Xia Dade and Duan Qingfeng were startled, and hurriedly ran over to support Lu Bing, who was almost fallen. Duan Qingfeng put his hand on Lu Bing's body, his eyes narrowed and scolded: "Angry, you kid don't want to die, you are really angry at will, and you take your life with thirteen swords to anger the sword, and you are using qi to make martial arts, what you have in your body is Yang Dan!" You're going to set yourself on fire! After Duan Qingfeng finished speaking, he luckily injected a cold qi into Lu Bing's body, and Lu Bing breathed a long sigh of relief after a while.

Lu Bing wiped the blood from his mouth and said, "Qingfeng, I also feel sorry for our money, but this is a last resort." Besides, this group of ringing horses is not waste, they are righteous and emotional, and they do things according to righteousness, as long as they are manipulated well, they are worthy of deep friendship. What's more, their low combat effectiveness is nothing more than the result of malnutrition, outdated weapons, and lack of training. A sheep leading a herd of lions will become a herd of litters, and the lions will become grazing sheep. On the other hand, if a lion leads a flock of sheep, there will be a flock of fierce murderous beasts. ”

"Cai Longyu is a mad tiger rather than a wise lion, in other words, he is a good general but not a handsome talent, I spent money to let him help me hold on to these people under him, so that he can be used by me in the future. As for the imperial court, I will have a way to explain it, and this will be my great achievement in the future. What am I vomiting blood for? Hehe, second brother, do you think I can't sit still? I want to say, yes! The breeze helped me up, and I took you to see a few people, who had just come home this morning. Lu Bing said with a little sadness.

Duan Qingfeng and Xia Dade suddenly had a bad premonition, they helped Lu Bing to stand up, and then followed Lu Bing towards a room in the backyard, and Lu Bing opened the door.

In the room sat an old man cross-legged, holding a package with two bulging spheres in his hand, while his other hand was stiffly pressed on the cover of several books on his lap, weak and lifeless. (To be continued......)
