"Is this Jeju?"
After climbing over the hills, it seemed as if we had entered another world. In the fields in front of us, people were working hard, plowing the fields with hoes, waiting for sowing.
"Is the person here Li Gang and Li Boji?"
Lu Fang and Guo Sheng were fully clothed and led a team of elite cavalry to stop Li Gang's team at the intersection.
Lu Fang wears a three-pronged crown on his head, a gold ring and a jade diamond; he wears a hundred-flower robe with brocade woven flowers. The armor is covered with thousands of fire dragon scales, and the belt is covered with a red agate belt. He rides a rouged horse like a dragon and holds a square halberd with a red painted pole. Behind the school, everyone is wearing red clothes and armor.
Guo Sheng has a three-pronged crown on his head, topped with a ball of auspicious snow; his body is covered with iron armor and covered with thousands of frosts. The light of Su Luo robe shines on the sun, and the color of silver flowers deceives the bright moon. He sat down and rode a Zhengwan jade beast, holding a cold halberd and a silver dragon in his hand. Behind the primary school, everyone is wearing white clothes and armor.
"Exactly! Are you Liangshan's military horses?"
Li Gang squinted his eyes and looked at the military horses in front of him. This team was in white clothes and white armor, and the other team was in red clothes and red armor. They were all in high spirits and lined up on both sides of the road. They were no more than a guard of honor for senior officials in Tokyo.
Although Li Gang was not a military general, he could still see a strong sense of bravery in the stranger, and he could tell at a glance that he was an elite soldier.
"Liangshan Poma Army deputy generals Lu Fang and Guo Sheng!"
Lu Fang and Guo Sheng clasped their fists at Li Gang and said.
"According to the decree of His Majesty the Emperor, I came to Liangshan to announce the decree!"
Li Gang looked at Lu Fang and Guo Sheng and said.
"Mr. Li, please!"
Lu Fang and Guo Sheng had no reaction to Li Gang's words. They just asked the cavalry behind them to get out of the way, as if they were inviting Li Gang.
"When the angel arrives, why doesn't Sun Lei come to greet him?"
Although Li Yuhou was a little afraid when he saw Lu Fang and Guo Sheng being majestic, thinking of his mission, he still mustered up the courage to point at Lu Fang and Guo Sheng and yell.
"Brother only invites Mr. Li. As for you, go back to where you came from!"
Guo Sheng waved his hand and looked at Li Yuhou and Zhang Qianban coldly.
The army behind Guo Sheng and Lu Fang instantly waved their weapons and made an attack posture. Their solemn murderous intent instantly attacked Li Yuhou, Zhang Qianban and others, so frightened that their legs trembled and they almost collapsed on the ground.
Li Gang was speechless when he saw Li Yuhou and Zhang Qianban. One of these two people was Yuhou from the mansion of Gao Qiu, the prefect of Sanya, and the other was the director of the Taishi mansion. They were used to showing off their power and power, but now they were just being punished. The thieves are so unbearable when they threaten them. I wonder if there are any useful people in Gao Qiu and Cai Jing's house.
"You two, we are here to announce the decree on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor. What do you mean?"
Although Li Gang didn't want to take care of Li Yuhou and Zhang Qianban, as a messenger of peace, he had to take the court's face into consideration, and he had to take care of them even if he didn't like them.
"Mr. Li, please let me go. We will treat each other with courtesy. But not everyone in Liangshanbo can act wild. For Mr. Li's sake, let's forget it this time. But these people are not my guests in Liangshanbo. If they do it again, If you dare to talk nonsense, I, Liang Shanbo, will never be merciless in killing people!"
Lu Fang looked at Li Gang and said.
Zhang Qianban and Li Yuhou were so frightened that they hid behind Li Gang. Now they were not as arrogant as before, and their domineering plans had long since disappeared.
"These are thieves! Thieves who kill without blinking an eye!"
Zhang Qianban whispered to Li Yuhou. At this moment, he finally realized that they were not meeting some local officials, but a peerless bandit who killed without blinking an eye.
They can show off their power to local officials, but local officials only dare to kneel and lick them, but thieves are different. If they offend the thieves, the thieves dare to kill them.
Marquis Li Yu also nodded repeatedly. Sun Lei dared to kill Gao Yanei and Gao Lian. Killing him, Marquis Yu of the Taiwei Mansion, was not a joke.
Lu Fang and Guo Sheng led the way, and Li Gang led the team forward.
"Are you going to Liangshanbo now?"
Li Gang looked at the cultivated fields around him and sighed again in his heart. The fields under the government's rule were barren, but the land occupied by the bandits was lush. This was really a great irony.
"No, my brother is in Jeju now!"
Lu Fang said, Liang Shanbo has begun to attack the city, and these people cannot be allowed to approach Liang Shanbo easily now.
"JiZhou!"
Li Gang squinted his eyes and thought. He heard the warning. Sun Lei seemed unwilling to let him get close to Liang Shanbo.
"Are you afraid that I will know the details?"
Li Gang thought in his heart that he had never met Sun Lei, but thieves were always afraid of the army.
"You seem to be different from ordinary thieves!"
Looking at the villagers standing in the field, smiling and waving to Lu Fang and Guo Shengjun, Li Gang frowned and asked, if there were just a few villagers, Li Gang would think this was a show, but it has been like this all the way, then it can only be said that they are all It comes from the heart.
"Which aspect is Mr. Li referring to?"
Guo Sheng looked at Li Gang and asked.
"The people don't seem to be afraid of you, nor do they hate you!"
Li Gang said.
"Why are you afraid of us? And why do you hate us? Firstly, we did not burn, kill or loot, secondly we did not impose excessive taxes, and thirdly we did not corrupt officials. We even redistributed the fields taken away from Xicheng to the people. Isn't it great that everyone can live in peace and harmony? What?"
Guo Sheng looked at Li Gang and smiled and said, before following Sun Lei, he thought Jianghu thieves only committed murder and arson, but later he discovered that Jianghu could do a lot more than just fighting and killing.
Guo Sheng's words made Li Gang not sure how to answer. If a thief doesn't do evil, then he is still a thief? This is completely different from what was said in the court.
"It's getting late, let's stay in this village for the night!"
Seeing that the sun had set, Lu Fang pointed to a village not far away and said, "I will definitely not be able to reach Jeju Mansion today."
In Li Gang's incredible eyes, the villagers walked out of the village to greet the Liangshan army, enthusiastically vacated their houses, and even sent food.
What made Li Gang even more incredible was that after Lu Fang accepted everything, he took out the money and handed it to the villagers, and the villagers happily accepted it, just like a fair transaction between children and adults.
The villagers did not seem to be afraid of the arrival of the thieves. They even lit a bonfire and held a party at night to celebrate spring plowing.
Li Yuhou and Zhang Qianban regarded themselves as high-ranking people and were unwilling to mix with common people.
But Li Gang was very curious about everything he saw today. He walked out of the house alone. Seeing that there was a party, he started talking to the villagers in the village. They were joking at first, but soon after the villagers knew that he was a court official. His face changed, as if he had seen his enemy, and he would hide away when he came near.
This made Li Gang look embarrassed. Looking at the people in Liangshan singing and laughing with the villagers in the distance, Li Gang felt that for the first time he had no place to put his face, so he had to go back to the house.
Early the next morning, when the villagers went out to farm with their farm tools, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng took Li Gang and set off for Jeju Prefecture.
Li Gang didn't speak again along the way, and just looked at both sides of the road in a daze. This road was exactly the same as what he saw in Puzhou. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, looking like a paradise. It was not at all the purgatory on earth that Tokyo officials said.
