Fortunately, there was a good wind, and the ship arrived in Jiangzhou like a fast horse. Li Jun said goodbye to everyone and went home. Cao Cao and others first found a big inn to put their luggage, and then sent Song Jiang and the two men to surrender outside the city. Prison camp.
When Song Jiang entered the prison camp, Cao Cao couldn't get in, so he said, "Let's go. Let's take a leisurely walk in the next few days. We will make plans after we get familiar with the roads inside and outside the city."
His six soldiers were divided into three groups: Cao Cao and Luan Tingyu were on the same side, Jiang Jingtao Zongwang was on the other side, and Shi Xiu Shiqian was on the other side. They made an appointment to go shopping each other, and went back to the hotel every night to collect news.
Here Jiang Jing and Shi Xiu went their separate ways. Cao Cao took Luan Tingyu and circled the prison camp first. The two discussed in a low voice: "When it happens, send dozens of people to attack this camp first. It would be best to release the prisoners together to disturb the eyes and ears of the officers and soldiers, and then attack the state government office in the city."
When he walked back to the door, he suddenly saw seven or eight people fighting. When he stood up and took a look, he saw that these people were all wearing the same clothes. They were all small cells in the prison camp. One of the small cells was waist-high. As wide as a black bear, with two messy red and yellow eyebrows, copper bell eyes covered with bloodshot eyes, and a beard that stood up like steel needles, one man beat the other and several others were rolling and crawling.
Cao Cao was startled and said to himself: "This guy and Xu Zhongkang are as similar as if they were born from the same mold. Could it be that he is the reincarnation of Xu Chu?" He stared at the black man intently. Although he knew that the theory of reincarnation was slim, he felt close to him. Big up.
But I heard a little cell boy who was being beaten shout: "Li Tieniu, you are not a son of a man. Why don't you go to those thieves and prisoners to ask for money if you don't have money? What kind of hero do you think you are when you rob your own colleagues' money?"
The strong black man kicked the other party and made him roll over again and again, and cursed: "You are blackmailing the prisoner, and I am blackmailing you. How much trouble have you saved me?" After that, he took out a handful of broken silver from the other party's arms and put it on his own In his arms, he laughed.
After laughing a few times, he suddenly saw that Cao Cao was only looking at him. He suddenly got angry and shouted: "You little man, why are you just looking at your master with your big eyes? If you want to find someone to fight with, grandpa can accompany you."
Cao Cao cupped his fists and said with a smile: "I see that as a prisoner, you don't bully the prisoners, but bully your colleagues. You are a good man. I also see that your boxing skills are extraordinary, so we want to get along. If you have some free time, how about having a drink?"
The strong black man was about to take someone's money and go gambling. Hearing this, he rolled his eyes and said secretly: "Seeing that this man is dressed in an extraordinary way, he must have a lot of money in his pocket, so I will feast on him first and then go play with the money. Isn't that right?" Isn’t it beautiful?”
But he said: "I won't accept the invitation easily. I won't go unless the other party is sincere."
Cao Cao smiled and said, "How can you be sincere?"
The black man swallowed his saliva and showed a greedy look: "There is a Pipa Pavilion tavern facing the river over there. It is very famous. It sells Yu Huchun, the famous wine in Jiangzhou. If you go there to treat guests, you must be extremely sincere. ”
Cao Cao said: "Okay, let's go to Pipa Pavilion and taste the goodness of this jade pot."
The black man was overjoyed, gesticulating and said: "That wine is good. Everyone who has tasted it praises it well. If you want to know why it is so good, just ask me to drink it and I will know."
Cao Cao and Luan Tingyu couldn't help but smile. They followed the black man to the Pipa Pavilion. They chatted along the way and asked his name. The black man said: "I am originally from Yishui County, Yizhou, Shandong. I live here." In Baizhang Village, I was called Li Kui. Because of my great strength, the villagers called me Li Tieniu. I was also nicknamed "Black Whirlwind". If I didn't deserve it, I would beat someone to death and escape into the rivers and lakes. I ended up living here and made a small prison. , I still have an old mother at home, and my brother Li Da is weak and useless, and I don’t know if I can raise a good mother."
When I mentioned my mother, my eyes burst into tears.
Cao Cao and Luan Tingyu looked at each other: Although this man is rude, he is filial.
Cao Cao comforted: "Don't worry, my home is in Yanggu County, which is only four or five hundred miles away from Yishui County. After I go back, I will send someone to your Baizhang Village to see your mother. If she is having a hard time, Then leave some money for your brother to use as capital, so that they can have enough food and clothing."
After hearing this, Li Kui immediately stopped and said, "You short man, are you kidding me?"
Cao Cao also stopped and said, "Why should I laugh with you?"
Li Kui stared and said: "You and I have never met each other, how can you be willing to travel hundreds of miles to visit my mother?"
Cao Cao said: "First of all, I see that you are a good man, and secondly, I feel sorry for you and show your filial piety. A horse that can run hundreds of miles can only take two or three days, so what does it matter if you just go on a journey?"
Seeing that he spoke solemnly, Li Kui couldn't help being shaken from the bottom of his heart. He leaned over and bowed down: "Good man, for such kindness, Tieniu really doesn't know how to repay him."
Cao Cao hurriedly pulled him up and said: "A man is so sincere and sincere, why should he be like this?"
Li Kui felt extremely grateful in his heart: "I have never met a hero like you in my life. I think Shiyuhei Songjiang and Wu Mengde and Wu Zhi are just like this."
Luan Tingyu smiled and said: "You have good eyesight, my brother is Wu Zhiwu Dalang!"
When Li Kui heard this, he clapped his hands and shouted: "Sir, it turns out you are Wu Dalang, brother, please accept my respect from my younger brother!"
He turned over and bowed down again. Cao Cao couldn't hold back this time, so he had to bow three times. He stood up and said, "Brother Luan Tingyu and I came to Jiangzhou this time. We sent Brother Song Jiang to serve his sentence here. In your prison."
Li Kui was even more delighted after hearing this and shouted: "What a coincidence. The two extravagant brothers met in one day. Brother Wu, please wait a moment while I invite the eldest brother of the Song family to have a drink with me."
Cao Cao stopped him and said, "Brother Song Jiang has just arrived. Once he is settled and taken care of, it won't be too late to find him again."
Li Kui nodded and patted his chest: "In this case, we can't ask my brother to corrupt the money. Tieniu happens to have money, and he will wait for me and my brother to clean up."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Since we are called brothers, we don't care about you and me. There is a financial friendship between friends. Your money is hard-earned. I will definitely treat you to this drink."
Li Kui touched his head, thought for a moment and said: "In that case, I won't go to the Bird Pavilion. It's really expensive there. I didn't know it was my brother, so I wanted to take the opportunity to broaden my horizons."
Cao Cao laughed and said: "Brother, Brother Yu is not short of money. Even I am greedy for the jade pot spring you mentioned. How can I have fun if I don't get it today? Let's go."
Pushing Li Kui forward, he walked for a while and reached a small hill before arriving at Pipa Pavilion.
The pavilion has the Xunyang River on one side and the owner's house on the other. There are more than ten seats in the pavilion. Luan Tingyu picked a clean one and asked Cao Cao to sit on the top one. He also asked Li Kui to sit on the opposite seat, and he sat beside him. , the three of them sat down, Cao Cao called the bartender: "All kinds of good dishes, but whatever you are good at, come here as much as you want, don't worry about the money, jade pot of spring wine, first take three bottles to rinse your mouth."
Not long after, the table was filled with vegetables, fruits, and all kinds of seafood, and wine was served and the wine was opened. As expected, the fragrance penetrated his nose. Li Kui sniffed and said greedily: "Brother, Tieniu is impatient with the small cup. Let me change it." Big bowl and bar.”
Cao Cao laughed loudly and called the bartender: "My brother is generous. Please bring a big bowl for us to drink wine. Although your dishes are exquisite, my brother loves meat. There are good beef and mutton. Big Boil the pieces and cut them into ten kilograms."
Li Kui was extremely happy after hearing this: "Brother, you know how to enjoy these little snails and shrimps? The bartender needs to go quickly, the meat needs fat."
The three men sifted the wine and drank from the bowls.
At that time, the river was wide open in front of us, the long wind on the river was blowing the willow branches and reeds, the clouds were rolling in the sky, and there were many things to see. Although Li Kui was a rough man, he still felt the scenery was spectacular. He felt a surge of spirit in his chest and said to Cao Cao and Luan Tingyu: "No wonder this bird restaurant sells so expensively. It turns out that the scenery is so good. If it weren't for the two brothers, Tieqi, Tieniu has lived in Jiangzhou for several years in vain. How has he ever seen such a scenery? It's a pity that he doesn't know a few words for bird. Otherwise, he would have imitated the bird literati and composed a bird poem and written it on this bird pillar, so that the bird people in the future can Everyone knows my name."
