Before dawn, Lu Bu sneaked out of Concubine Liu's house.

Back in his room, Lu Bu quickly changed his clothes, held a halberd, quietly came out of the nunnery, and strode in the direction of the mansion.

At this time, the Chuzhou Mansion was still a very chaotic scene.

After overnight interrogation, the bandits arrested last night had roughly figured out their internal situation, and Wei Tu was preparing to mobilize men and horses to fight for it.

To be honest, there have been a few times in this kind of struggle before, and the result has been a big defeat each time.

This is not to say that the officers and soldiers of the Northern Song Dynasty did not have combat power, but that those bandits were too strong.

The bandits were entrenched on a high mountain, and there were many of them, and they were well informed, and many of the merchants in the past had been hijacked by barricades.

As a master of Yijiefutai, although the number of people and horses that can be mobilized around Wei Tu has reached thousands of people, for such a big mountain, it is still like an ant on the ground.

Wei Tu's heart did not have much hope for this struggle.

Lu Bu arrived.

"This time, with the help of Tang Zhuangshi, the lower officials are quite pleased, and ask Tang Zhuangshi to resign, all the horses are mobilized by the strong men, and if they do not give a fatal blow to the bandits, it is difficult for the people here to be safe." Wei Tu said, and was about to hand over the talisman on the table to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu didn't answer.

"The villain was just entrusted by Lord Bao and Lord Shen to come to help, how dare he command the military horses? If you are trusted by Lord Wei, please borrow a first-class horse, and the villain will go alone, capture the leader of the bandits, and open the passage for the people and horses supervised by Lord Wei. Lu Bu said.

Wei Tu was stunned.

"Tang Zhuangshi may go alone, and the next official will not be able to explain to Lord Bao and Lord Shen at that time."

Lu Bu smiled faintly.

"Last night, after the first person of the Shen class left, Qinglian Nunnery found that one person was lost, and it was expected that he must have been captured by those bandits. Please don't worry about Lord Wei, wait for the villain to capture the bandit leader first, rescue the hostages, and then supervise the army to go up the mountain. Lu Bu continued.

Wei Tu was still a little hesitant.

Lu Bu was a little anxious.

"If Lord Wei really can't rest assured, you can send another person to follow the villain to use it for contact."

"The villain is willing to go."

"The villain is willing to go."

Several officials came over one after another and said.

Wei Tu's gaze swept over the faces of several people, and finally landed on Shen Ji's body.

"Please rest assured, the villain knows that Tang Zhuangshi is brave and will not have an accident." Shinji said.

Wei Tu finally nodded and ordered two good horses to be prepared outside.

The two of them had a simple breakfast and flew on their way.

Approaching the mountain pass, Lu Bu suddenly had a sense of déjà vu.

This made him suddenly think of a person, a rather beautiful woman - An Lengshuang.

Could this mountain be the one that once imprisoned himself and the second prince?

At the beginning, An Lengshuang did not hesitate to use her hue as bait in order to get her own help, but she was unmoved. Thinking about it now, I feel a little moved in my heart.

It's just that I heard that she has been convicted by Lord Bao of Zhao Ji's case and fornicating with the Western Xia Kingdom.

When the two horses came to the foot of the mountain, it was almost noon.

At the foot of the mountain, a small village with more than a dozen houses is particularly bleak in the sun.

"Tang Zhuangshi, can you allow the villain to take on makeup to investigate first, and after it is confirmed that it is safe, it is not too late for you and me to go up the mountain." Shinji said.

Lu Bu sneered and shook his head.

"Shen Bantou is also careful, what can he do if he forgives a few mountain bandits? You wait at the bottom of the mountain, and Bu alone openly goes up the mountain, and in the name of asking for Ju'er, he takes the opportunity to capture the bandit leader. At that time, the men and horses supervised by Lord Wei have already arrived, but when you see the fire on the mountain, you just have to attack the mountain. ”

"Although Tang Zhuangshi is brave, there are many bandits on the mountain, so it is better to be cautious." Shen Ji reminded.

Lu Bu disagreed.

Shen Ji didn't dare to insist anymore.

Lu Bu dismounted and walked up the mountain.

The terrain is treacherous, littered with gravel and trees, and occasionally a woodcutter or two will hobbling down the hill with dry firewood.

In order to attract the attention of the mountain bandits, Lu Bu deliberately carried the halberd in his hand, and waved it a few times from time to time to cut off one or two branches that blocked the way.

Lu Bu's behavior really attracted the attention of the mountain patrol minions.

Before reaching the halfway point of the mountain, more than a dozen people suddenly came out of the woods on the side of the road, all wearing red scarves wrapped around their heads, all black short clothes, and all red tasseled knives.

It can be seen that the minions here are also well-trained.

"Who are you who actually want to see the master of my family?"

Hearing that someone came openly asked to see the big boss on the mountain, a minion rolled his eyelids and looked at Lu Bu and said disdainfully.

"I am Wenhou Lu Bu." Lu Bu was even more disdainful.

"We have no contact with the imperial court, and no matter how you are a prince or a general, it has nothing to do with us." The minion sneered, "If you want to see the owner of my village, you need to explain the reason, and I can only go up the mountain after I have passed it." ”

Lu Bu's face sank.

"Ben Houte comes to save people, and he must not stop him, otherwise he should be with this tree." Lu Bu said, suddenly swinging his halberd and smashing it into a big tree on the side of the road.

The branches and leaves of the tree fell in an instant, and the trunk of the tree, which was a foot in diameter, was cut off in the air and fell to the ground with a bang.

The minions were shocked.

Lu Bu deliberately wanted to alarm the people on the mountain, so he picked up the halberd and cut down several big trees one after another.

"Who does the strong man want to save?" The minion was stunned by Lu Bu and asked.

"A woman." Lu Bu put away the halberd and replied.

A few minions came together and whispered something.

"Xu is a friend of the big boss rushed to save her?"

"If that's the case, it's a good thing."

"The owner and the second master of Luji Village are very vicious, and the villain is really upset for the big boss."

"Look at this person's bravery, maybe he can really rescue the big boss and restore the stability of my cottage in the past."

After a few people talked for a while, one of the minions came over.

"If Zhuang Shiguo wants to go up the mountain, he needs us to be blindfolded and walk with us."

Lu Bu inserted the halberd and nodded.

Several people blindfolded Lu Bu with a piece of black cloth, and one person led the way in front and led him towards the mountain.

Although he couldn't see it, Lu Bu could still feel that it was heavily guarded, and after only walking more than a hundred meters, there was a checkpoint, and the minions guarding it were noisy.

After walking for about half an hour, Lu Bu heard someone ask.

The minion didn't know what to say to the man, and soon someone brought a horse and asked Lu Bu to sit on it, and symbolically tied his legs to the sides of the horse.

Lu Bu just sneered, such a binding was nothing for Lu Bu.

This mountain is indeed big enough.

He rode for half an hour before he came to a flat place.

Someone removed the black cloth from Lu Bu's eyes.

The Juyi Hall that appeared in front of him instantly made Lu Bu understand that this was indeed the high mountain occupied by An Lengshuang and the others, and even the wooden plaque on the hall that had lost its color had not been replaced.

Revisiting the old place, Lu Bu suddenly had a sense of intimacy, but I am afraid that there is no longer An Lengshuang and the woman named Xia Mei here.

Some people died, but not completely......
