After listening to Xiao Tang's words, Lu Fang opened his mouth and couldn't close it for a long time. It is said that he has some martial arts skills, but he only has a certain reputation in Tanzhou, but he is only engaged in the business of selling crude medicines, and he is not a good person in the world. How could such a famous person, the man wearing a Haechi mask in front of him, tell his origin in one sentence?
Seeing Lu Fang's surprised look, Xiao Tang laughed again and said, "I have met some traveling merchants and travelers from the Chu region, and I have heard that there is a good man in Tanzhou who dresses like Lu Fengxian in the late Han Dynasty. , I just heard that you reported that you were from Tanzhou, Jinghu South Road, so I thought of my name."
After hearing this, Lu Fang shook his head and sighed: "Really, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. In the past, I could get to know the heroes in the world, but I am not a person from the green forest, nor am I a famous gun and stick in a powerful local government." Teacher, no one knows my name. Now I have turned into a bandit and insulted my ancestors, but this hero revealed my origin. I am really ashamed."
It was just that Lu Fang was just sighing in humility, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing. When he looked up again, he saw that the leaders in front of him, especially Chen Da, Yang Chun and other green forest bandits, looked even more unhappy. Both of them looked angrily at Lu Fangzhi's luck, and seemed to want to teach him a lesson.
We both fell into the grass. Although we no longer do the business of mowing and robbing people, we still relied on it to earn a living back then. As soon as you fell into the grass, you were humiliated and yelled in shame in front of us. , who are you scolding?
Xiao Tang coughed a few times, and then changed his subject and exchanged a few words with Lu Fang. It turned out that Lu Fang had been forced to recruit some homeless people who had no food to eat along the way to do strongman business. The halberd technique he had learned through hard work was used to sell crude medicines to guard against strongmen who might come to rob him along the way. However, Lu Fang suddenly changed from a merchant leader who was on guard against bandits to a strongman who had to rob merchants to survive. This The change of identity makes him still very uncomfortable.
It is said that a person is judged by his feelings. Lu Fang, who had just arrived at Yingshan Xiao Village Grass, had seen one or two merchants passing by here two days ago. However, he secretly paid me to go north and south when selling herbal medicines, and those who slept in the open just to earn a few dollars. It was so hard to share a small profit! At that time, I was just afraid that someone stronger than me would steal my goods and cause me to lose all my money... Now, although I have no capital, I don’t have the face to rebel again. Returning to my hometown, I had no choice but to become a bandit here. However, I saw that all the merchants were doing small business and working as hard as I did. It was really hard to be ruthless enough to rob their goods. ....
However, ordinary Green Forest Road relies on cutting paths and robbing people to make a living. If Lu Fang doesn't take action, the simple village in Yingshan will not be able to open the door. There are more than a hundred brothers who are also desperate and "waiting for food" to fill their bellies. Lu Fang could only act cruelly. As Xiao Tang and his troops were passing by this place today, Lu Fang led his men to rush out and stopped Xiao Tang and his troops.
Xiao Tang couldn't help but shake his head and laugh after hearing Lu Fang's words. According to his feeling, this Lu Fang was really not suitable to be a strong man in the green forest.
It is said that in the original work, Lu Fang first occupied Duiying Mountain, but then Sai Rengui and Guo Sheng came to take over his stronghold. If a strongman who usually gathered in the mountains and forests saw someone coming to take away his food, clothing and rice bowl, he would not immediately draw a knife and fight with him. Even if a person risks his life, he must put on a tough stance and teach the other party to retreat. Even if Zhou Tong gives up the position of the leader of the Taohua Village to Li Zhong, in the book, Wen Zhongrong and Cui Ye will give up the position of the leader of the Baodu Mountain Village. The person who gave up his position to Tang Bin had a fierce fight first and found that the opponent's ability was really better than his own, so he gave up his position to a capable person because he admired his opponent's martial arts.
Fortunately for Lu Fang, he didn't even fight, so he told Guo Sheng that this strong man (that's what he was called in the original text), anyway, there is one on each side of the pair of shadow mountains. I will give you the top of the mountain, and we can fall into the grass together.
I don’t know whether it was Guo Sheng who saw Lu Fang and also made a halberd, so he decided to decide the outcome, or whether it was just like their nicknames, one admired Lu Bu and was only called "Little Wen Hou",
Although the other one likes Xue Li, a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, his nickname means "Sai Rengui" who surpasses Xue Rengui in martial arts. He seems to have a stronger personality than Guo Sheng, so he refuses and is determined to seize the pair of Yingshan.
, Lu Fang was not angry. He just competed with Guo Sheng every day. If he won, he would stay, if he lost, he would leave...
...How could a robber do such a thing?
On the other side, Shi Jin couldn't help but grin. He said to Lu Fang: "This is the first time I have seen a strong man in the green forest who can make me look so anxious! You might as well join us and don't have to mess with ordinary people.
When merchants are doing business, it will be happier if everyone acts like brothers!"
After hearing this, Lu Fang was surprised and said: "Since you are also people on the Green Forest Road, how can you have such a momentum if you don't plunder ordinary merchants?"
Xiao Tang, Lu Zhishen, Sun An and others looked at each other and smiled. Lu Zhishen then laughed and said, "Brother, have you ever heard of the names of Erlong Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain in Qingzhou?"
After hearing this, Lu Fang hurriedly said: "I have heard someone mention it in the past, saying that the heroes from Erlong Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain in Qingzhou only went to fight against the rich and unkind tyrants in the surrounding areas, and would never harm ordinary kind people and merchants. It was just a casual visit.
I heard nothing, and there was no acquaintance to recommend me, so I had no choice but to hang out in these two shadow mountains... Everyone... are you the heroes of the two mountains of Qingzhou?"
Sun An smiled and nodded, and then approached Xiao Tang and said, "The person in front of you is not only the two mountain strongholds in Qingzhou, but also the co-owner of several green forest strongholds. Since you have no choice but to leave the grass,
, and he doesn’t like to do ordinary strongman activities, so he is suitable to become a brother with us."
After hearing this, Lu Fang looked towards Xiao Tang again. After a moment, he rolled off his saddle and bowed to Xiao Tang, saying: "I have heard for a long time that the heroes of Erlong Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain are benevolence and righteousness first. They fight against evil and help the weak. I admire them."
It's so tight. If I can be accepted by this elder brother, I will definitely hold the saddle on my back and serve my life to the death!"
But after Lu Fengna said that, he couldn't help but raise his head slightly and looked curiously at the Haechi mask that covered Xiao Tang's appearance.
Xiao Tang also stood up and dismounted. He helped Lu Fang and then said: "Since brother is willing to join me, of course I will not hide my identity from you. But right now, I am waiting for brother to come out, and I have something important to do. Please follow me, brother."
When I return to the village, I will let Brother Lu Fang know my name."
After hearing this, Lu Fang nodded very simply and said, "Okay, just follow what my brother said."
...This little Marquis Wen is indeed a good talker. Moreover, judging from his record in the book, he had a thirty-year fight with Zeng Tu, one of the five tigers of the Zeng family, and then his halberd skills were messed up.
, he could only hide and dodge, but after a long period of experience, during the conquest of Fangla, Lu Fang was actually able to stab Li Tianyou, the younger brother of Li Tianrun, the fourth marshal of Fangla's army, within fifty or sixty seconds. He could even compete with Shi Bao.
Super-class warriors fought for more than fifty lives. Instead of later generations often saying that Lu Fang had great potential and great room for improvement in martial arts, Xiao Tang wanted to put it another way...
Even after he joined Liangshan and was recruited, the young Wen Hou Lu Fang, who took Lu Bu as his example, never slacked off in practicing martial arts and struggling physically, so he could achieve amazing performance in the future.
Back then, Wu Xia Amon was able to impress people with his extraordinary perseverance and put in countless energy and sweat.
It's just... now that Lu Fang is willing to defect to me, Juyi, the Sai Rengui and Guo Sheng who complement him in the original work and complement each other haven't come yet?
※※
Let's say that Xiao Tang ordered his subordinates to pay Lu Fang and his men some food and grass, and told Lu Fang that after they went to Yuncheng County, Jeju to deal with the matters they needed to do, and then returned to the city on the way to Yingshan, he would take him there.
And go to Qingzhou Erlong Mountain Dazhai.
Lu Fang naturally responded hurriedly, and Xiao Tang and his team set off again. After a few days, they finally arrived at the Lijia Road crossing near Liangshanbo. Xiao Tang and others had already learned about it through Li Zongzheng, who was an informant in Liangshan.
Where is the wine shop that Liangshan placed here in order to listen for sounds and receive guests?
When Xiao Tang and others saw the hotel between dozens of old trees, pillowing the creek and facing the lake, Shi Jin stepped forward and said to Xiao Tang: "Brother, since that hotel was built by Liangshan, little brother.
Just go and tell the shopkeeper there that we want to meet Chao Gai."
After Xiao Tang pondered for a moment, he shook his head and said to Shi Jin: "Don't be busy for now, Dalang. You and brother Sun An will go with me to the wine shop first. As for the other brothers, they will lead their teams and stand by on the way.
