Chapter 49 Friendship

This man ran in a hurry and obviously didn't expect anyone to pass by. However, his reaction was also very fast. He turned around and could unload the force of rushing forward.

"Your grandma, do you walk without eyes?"

Lu Qiang didn't say anything, but the man scolded first.

Only then did Lu Qiang have the opportunity to take a closer look at this reckless person. He only saw that he was 28 or 29 years old, with medium height, dark complexion, and muscles and graves on his body. He seemed to break free from the shackles of clothes, constantly beating and his face was cold. At first glance, he was not a good person.

Is Lu Qiang a person who is afraid of things? It's just that he walked normally. It's okay if he bumped into himself without apologizing, and actually scolded others first.

When he frowned, he wanted to speak.

At this time, I suddenly heard the voice of an old woman in the yard.

"Soul, are you still running there? Do you want to make me angry?"

With the voice, an old woman with white hair came out of the yard trembling with a crutch with the help of a middle-aged man.

Seeing the middle-aged man, Lu Qiang couldn't help but be stunned. Didn't he save his boat boss? At present, he jumped off the horse without hesitation, strode forward and saluted with his fist.

"Brother, we meet again"

After saying hello, Lu Qiang suddenly remembered that when someone called the boat boss yesterday, he clearly said that he was going to die, but depending on the old lady's posture, it looks like he can't do it!

The middle-aged man nodded to Lu Qiang, then turned to the old lady and said, "Mom, the second brother already knows it's wrong. Just forgive him!"

At this time, he looked at the strong man who had just stood with Lu Qiang. After seeing the old lady, he was like a frost eggplant. He turned over and knelt on the ground. His mouth moved, but he didn't say a word.

It turned out to be the brother of the benefactor, so there was nothing to say. Lu Qiang just wanted to salute the old lady. But the old lady had swayed her crutch and hit her son on the ground.

"Let you not learn well, let you be a thief..."

Although the old man beat hard, the strong man who knelt on the ground did not dare to move and let his mother's crutch hit him in the face.

I don't know whether the old lady is tired of beating or distressed her son. After a few strokes, she stopped, pointed to her son and said angrily, "Don't recognize me as a mother if you run again."

The strong man couldn't help glaing at Lu Qiang. Obviously, if Lu Qiang hadn't been in the way, he would have run away.

Lu Qiang was really more unjust than Dou E. He bowed to the old lady and said, "The old man is angry. I think this brother has known that he is wrong. Please forgive him!" It's not good for the neighbors to see the people coming and going here, isn't it?"

"You are..."

Only then did the old lady notice Lu Qiang and his party.

Her eldest son quickly explained, "Is this the general of the Beifu Army or a disciple of the old immortal!"

Hearing the title of general of the Beifu Army, the old lady did not react, but when she heard that Lu Qiang was a disciple of the old immortal, her face suddenly changed.

"It turned out to be a disciple of the old fairy. Please come in quickly. You don't know that the old man's life was saved by the old fairy!"

The strong man kneeling on the ground originally had a grudge against Lu Qiang because he was in the way, but when he saw Lu Qiang speaking for him, and he was also a legendary old fairy disciple, his attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn.

jumped up, as if the person who had just been beaten was not him. He patted Lu Qiang's arm affectionately and smiled, "Look at your boy as a character. I've made you as a friend."

The old lady stared at her son angrily and snorted, "What are you that you deserve to be friends with the disciples of the old fairy?"

The eldest brother and the strong man are brothers, the eldest brother Jiang Dalong and the second Jiang Xiaoyu. The two brothers are very filial to their mothers. The eldest brother is relatively safe and makes a living by fishing, but the second brother is not a worry-free owner. He gathered a group of desperado and specializes in business on the water.

After the old lady learned the news, she sent someone to find him. He was afraid of his mother's scolding and never dared to go home. The old lady also had an idea, so she got the fake death news and really cheated the boy back.

After discovering that he had been cheated by his mother, Jiang Xiaoyu wanted to escape, but was stopped by the strong ghost.

Lu Qiang himself is not a ostentatious person, and he believes in the old way and does not want others to know the relationship between the two.

said quickly, "The old man's words are heavy. There are brothers all over the world. The eldest brother saved my life. Since he is the eldest brother, of course he is also my brother."

The old lady also saw the carriage behind Lu Qiang, and at this time, the two girls sitting in the carriage were also lifting the curtain and looking out.

"They are..."

"Oh! This is my family. The army is about to cross the river. They are injured. I want to put them here first. Before I went to find Lizheng, I met your old man."

The old lady waved her hand and said simply, "What else are you looking for? Just let them live in my house. These two rebellious children are usually not at home, so that they can be my wife."

Lu Qiang was still a little worried just now! But I didn't expect it to be solved so easily. I was immediately overjoyed and bowed again.

"Thank you very much"

"Go in, big dragon, small fish, go and prepare wine and dishes. The old lady wants to drink two cups with the disciples of the old immortals."

The appearance of Lu Qiang and his party asked the old lady to put down her son's business and send her two sons to buy wine and vegetables to entertain guests.

Lu Qiang really didn't expect that this old lady was so bold that she had a mother and a son.

Although you are in a hurry to go back to the barracks, can't you leave the two girls? So the two girls took off the carriage.

Although the two girls were seriously injured, one was not injured in their muscles and bones, and the other was in time for treatment, so now they can barely walk on the ground, but the two girls seem to be more willing to be held by Lu Qiang and walk around. Although Lu Qiang is their master, what about the girl is not pregnant?

Jiang Dalong and Jiang Xiaoyu went to prepare wine and dishes to see if there was no one behind. Jiang Xiaoyu said to his brother, "Brother, is he really an apprentice of the old immortal?"

"Is there any fake? There is also a mythical beast beside him! The pure black mountain leopard, which is something that can't be hunted, but it has been with him all the time. If it hadn't been for the mythical beast, I would have met the old fairy."

Lu Qiang did not know that Lao Dao is very famous on both sides of the river, but Lao Dao has a weak reputation and wandering whereabouts, and ordinary people rarely see him.

In addition, in this era, the destruction of forests is not so serious. Wild beasts in the mountains are rampant, and mountain leopards are not rare, but pure black mountain leopards are rare. Some superstitious hunters even say that it is an elf in the mountains and dare not fight when they see it.

After listening to his brother's words, Jiang Xiaoyu couldn't help but secretly congratulate him. Fortunately, he didn't fight with him just now.

Under the hospitality of the Jiang family, Lu Qiang had to stay for dinner. A live fish, three catties of braised beef, a plate of fried beans, and a jar of old wine. Although there are not many things, it is enough to show the owner's intention.

Lu Qiang also called the husband over, but because they wanted to rush back to the barracks, neither of them dared to drink more, just stopped.

The old lady drank a bowl of wine and went to chat with the two girls, leaving the two brothers accompanying Lu Qiang and the husband.

After a conversation, Lu Qiang found that the two brothers were not simple. Of course, the boss only made a living by fishing, but not forced by life, but did not like the world, that is, he did not want to serve the government or serve those gatekeepers.

The reason why the second brother did the business without capital on the river was largely because he was not used to the corruption of the government. In the previous Sun En's Rebellion, after Huan Xuan came to power, he was even more violent and restrained, which made the people miserable.

Jiang Xiaoyu organized with some people who could not survive, specializing in plundering merchant ships and official ships in the past, but ordinary fish people and people did not commit any crime, which can also be regarded as a grenist thief.

Maybe because of Lao Dao's gold sign on his body, the brothers all have the same intention to make friends with Lu Qiang, and since Lu Qiang came to this era, he has never had no real friends, so he is also very talkable with these two brothers. If he hadn't been thinking about returning to the barracks, he would really would have drunk with them.

Seeing the sun set in the west, Lu Qiang knew that he couldn't leave, so he got up and said goodbye to his brothers.

The Jiang brothers knew Lu Qiang's identity, but it was not easy to retain them too much. After Lu Qiang greeted the old woman and two girls, the two brothers personally sent Lu Qiang and the husband to the entrance of the village.

"Brother, what do you think if one day he becomes a general, how about I join the army?"

Looking at the distant back of Lu Qiang, Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly came up with such a sentence for some reason.

Jiang Dalong didn't say anything, just smiled and said nothing. It is every man's dream to make contributions and protect his country, but he must have a decent leader.

Jiang Dalong doesn't know what Lu Qiang's future achievements will be, but he can feel that this is by no means an ordinary person.

Liu Yi, who already knows what happened at this moment, is sitting in the handsome tent and thinking about the consequences of this matter.

Lu Bao is not a person, and it is not a problem for a hundred and eighty people to die, but the Lu family behind him is a huge thing. Liu Yi is not willing to be a general, and he still has to climb to a higher position, and naturally the support of those Jiangnan scholars is indispensable.

But Lu Qiang's move will obviously make him stand on the opposite side of these Jiangnan scholars, and Lu Qiang is also a rare talent for him. He is a little reluctant to take care of talents for the Jiangnan scholars, at least for now.

However, this Lu Qiang is indeed a little too presumptuous. He goes out of the camp without his consent, and also causes such a big trouble for himself. If he doesn't punish him, won't it become more and more difficult to control in the future?

At this time, there was a personal report. Lu Qiang came back and was waiting to meet outside the account.

"Hmm! Let him in"

Time is not long. Lu Qiang stepped in and saluted with his fork: "My subordinates went out of the camp privately and violated the military regulations. I came to plead guilty."

"Do you still know that you are guilty? If Zhou Kui hadn't arrived in time, could you have come back completely?

"My subordinates know their mistakes and are willing to be punished"

" Pull down, hit 20 military sticks, and relegate Lang's position to see the aftereffects"

Lu Qiang was ready to be punished. He saluted again without arguing, and retreated with the executed soldier.

At this time, Tang Liang, who joined the army, dodged and came in and hugged his fists: "The general was angry. He thought he was about to cross the river. At this time, it was time to use people. If he was injured, I'm afraid it would affect the battle. If you don't write it down first and fight after the battle."

In fact, Liu Yi didn't really want to beat Lu Qiang, but this boy didn't even say a soft word, which made him very difficult for him to get off the stage. Now that someone is finally willing to speak, there is a step.

"Tell him to write down the military stick for the time being, and I will allow him to commit crimes and make contributions"

"The general is wise"

"Try on, the army will cross the river tomorrow morning and must take Jiankang before Liu Yu"
