Xue Yong carried the plate and turned around twice, but did not see a single copper tip. He could not help but feel a little dejected. Who knew that a man would suddenly offer five taels.
Xue Yong looked towards that man. He was of medium build and had a round face. He was looking at him with a smile.
Xue Yong felt an indescribable gratitude in his heart. He held Zhu Fu's silver in his hand and said,""In such a famous Mao Yang Town, not a single knowledgeable man has ever praised our family.”
"It's rare for this benefactor to spend five taels of silver to flatter us even though he was carrying a bag and passing by.”
Xue Yong cupped his fists at Zhu Fu and said,"These five taels of silver are better than other people's fifty taels. I hope that the benefactor's name will be high so that this lowly one can spread the word throughout the world.”
Zhu Fu chuckled and said,"I am Zhu Fu. It's just some silver. There's no need to thank me."”
Xue Yong said,"So it's you, Sir Zhu Fu. I'm from Luoyang. My name is Xue Yong. People in Jianghu call me a sick worm."”
Zhu Fu smiled." I'm from Yishui County. I happened to pass by here today. Since you and I are meeting here, why don't we have a few drinks?"”
"I'm willing to follow you!"
Xue Yong immediately packed up his gun, stick, and ointment. He went to a hotel with Zhu Fu and found a corner to sit down.
Zhu Fu ordered a table full of dishes and wine. He ate a few bowls with Xue Yong before saying,"Brother Xue Yong, I saw you use a good spear and stick, how did you end up here?”
Xue Yong sighed and said," I won't hide it from you, brother. My grandfather was originally a military officer. He was employed in front of Old Zhong's tent. However, he was not promoted because he offended his colleagues. We unfilial descendants can only rely on guns and sticks to sell medicine to survive.”
When Zhu Fu heard that he was the son of an officer, he was even more delighted. He thought that he had found the right person and said,"Brother, your martial arts are really wasted! Brother, what are your plans?"
"I have a disciple in the Wuwei Army, and I'm preparing to seek refuge with him."”
"What does your disciple do?" asked Zhu Fu.”
Xue Yong said," My disciple is called Hou Jian. He's a tailor, and he loves to play with guns and sticks. He once acknowledged me as his master, and others call him the Long Armed Ape.”
"So you're a tailor."
Zhu Fu immediately lost interest. He pondered for a moment and said,"Brother, have you ever heard of Liangshan Lake?”
Xue Yong was slightly stunned." Ever since I arrived in Shandong, I have heard of Liangshan Lake like thunder. The heroes there enforce justice for the heavens and do not harm innocent people. It is truly admirable."”
Zhu Fu deliberately said," I heard from others that Liangshan Lake is recruiting talents now. Brother, you have good martial arts skills. Why don't you join them there? Your disciple is just a tailor, how can he help you?”
When Xue Yong heard this, he hurriedly looked around before saying in a low voice,"To tell you the truth, I've heard of the famous heroes of Liangshan and have long wanted to join them. However, I'm afraid that the Liangshan Lake won't accept me, so I had no choice but to go south to find my disciple.”
Xue Yong had been wandering in Hebei before. He had heard the merchants talking about the reputation of Liangshan and learned about the great things that Liangshan heroes had done. He had the idea of going up the mountain to seek refuge.
This was strange.
Xue Yong had been trained in martial arts since he was young. Although he had lived a hard life these years, relying on guns and sticks to sell medicine to survive, he had never thought of falling into the grass.
However, when he heard the name of Liangshan, he had a different feeling in his heart. It was as if Liangshan Lake had an extraordinary attraction!
The main thing was that Liangshan's style of doing things was very much in line with Xue Yong's appetite, unlike other strong people who fell into the weeds, who did not distinguish between good and bad.
Hence, when he heard Zhu Fu mention it, Xue Yong did not hide it at all and spoke out his thoughts.
Zhu Fu was overjoyed when he heard that, but he said,"Brother, are you serious?"
"If this little brother deceives big brother, the heavens will strike me with five thunderbolts!"”
Zhu Fu was overjoyed and said in a low voice,"I won't hide it from you, brother. I have a big brother who is the leader of Mount Liang. He is that Dryland Hulv Zhugui.”
Xue Yong was stunned for a moment, then immediately went forward and bowed,"This little brother's eyes are blind, I actually didn't know it was big brother!”
"Please get up!"
Zhu Fu hurriedly helped Xue Yong up and said,"I see that brother also has good martial arts. If you don't mind, why don't you come with me to Liangshan Lake?”
"This little brother originally wanted to seek refuge in Liangshan, but I didn't have an acquaintance to recommend me. Since I met big brother today, I will naturally go with big brother."”
"Good brother!"
Zhu Fu was overjoyed. This Xue Yong's martial arts skills were not bad. If he could make a name for himself in Liangshan, he would also have help.
The two of them immediately became brothers and toasted each other. The atmosphere was very intimate.
After eating the wine and meat, Zhu Fu asked the shopkeeper to cut three catties of beef and pick up ten large steamed buns, preparing to eat them on the road.
Zhu Fu and Xue Yong walked out of Mao Yang Town and came to Sishui County. After walking for about twenty miles, they saw a tall mountain in front of them.
"That mountain is Peiwei Mountain," said Zhu Fu."We've arrived at Yanzhou.”
"I'm afraid it's quite a distance from here to Sishui County. It's getting late, so we need to find a place to stay."”
As soon as he finished speaking, a man suddenly jumped out from a forest on the road. It was a dark and burly man holding an axe for chopping wood. He shouted at the two of them,"I opened this mountain, I planted this tree…"
Xue Yong was shocked, he did not expect to encounter a Tribulation Dao expert, he immediately picked up his stick and prepared to fight with this dark man.
Zhu Fu was also shocked. When he saw the dark-skinned man clearly, he immediately cursed,"Li Tieniu, why didn't you serve your mother at home? Why did you come here to rob her?”
Xue Yong was rather surprised. He didn't expect Zhu Fu to actually know this dark-skinned man.
The dark-skinned man was also shocked and hurriedly looked at Zhu Fu. Then, he let out a cry and threw away the ax in his hand. He ran over in three steps and said,"Big Brother Zhu Fu, why is it you?"
"Who else could it be if not me?" Zhu Fu smiled. Why did you learn to rob others?”
The dark-skinned man scratched his head and smiled." I won't hide it from you, Big Brother Zhu Fu. A few days ago, I was gambling with someone. That Yang Erniu from the village cheated and was caught by me on the spot. Who knew that not only did that fellow not admit it, he even wanted to fight me.”
"I first let him punch twice, and then returned his punch. Who knew that he was so weak that he was killed by me with one punch.”
Zhu Fu laughed and scolded," You idiot. It's easy for you to just run away. It's just that your big brother is unlucky. The government will definitely find trouble with him."”
The dark-skinned man laughed dryly and muttered,""He didn't kill him. Even if the government finds trouble with him, can they arrest him?”
"Big Brother Zhu Fu, who is this brother?" Xue Yong asked.”
Zhu Fu introduced," This is a fellow villager from Yishui County. He lives in Baizhang Village of Yishui County. His name is Black Tornado Li Kui. The villagers call him Li Tieniu. Iron Bull, this is a good man I know. His name is Sickly Insect Xue Yong!”
Seeing that he was a boorish man, Xue Yong also smiled and said,""So it's Brother Li Kui."
"Iron Bull greets Brother Xue Yong."”
"Iron Bull, since you ran away from your hometown, where are you planning to go?" asked Zhu Fu.”
"I originally planned to go to Jiangnan to hide, but I didn't have any money on me, so I could only do this robbery business."”
"Since you're going to Jiangnan, why did you go north instead and come to Peiwei Mountain?" Zhu Fu asked again.”
Li Kui was stunned for a moment and said," Brother, you must be joking. I'm clearly heading south. Why do you say I'm heading north? Don't make fun of me."”
Zhu Fu was angry and amused at the same time. He said,"This is Peiwei Mountain, the territory of Yanzhou. Isn't it north of Yizhou? You idiot, you can't even tell north from south!”
"Did I really go in the wrong direction?" Li Kui was shocked.”
When Zhu Fu and Xue Yong saw this, they were both speechless.
