Chapter 221: Sorry Excuse
Sunset, Lingshui County.
A plain mat was prepared in the side hall, and the third disciple received the wind and washed the dust for the owner of the horse village and others.
In addition to Liu Biao, there were also Chen Yi of Binjiang people, as well as General Han's younger brother Han Xishan and second son Han Cheng.
There is no need for a special introduction by the third apprentice, Huo Bao and the others understand that these guests are all talkable figures in the Bozhou Army today.
Needless to say, Chen Yi is the guest of honor, a group.
Liu Biao represents the interests of the Liu clan.
Han Xishan and Han Cheng represent the interests of the Han family.
The Bozhou army has three points, but because the entire Chuzhou is fought in three pieces, the Liu and Han families are trapped in Lingshui County, and the momentum has weakened.
Liu Er ran away and took away 7,000 men and horses, and the rest of the men and horses could not compete with the three forces.
The owner of the horse village looked at his eyes, but he didn't know whether it was a pity that he didn't see the infighting in the Bozhou army, or he should admire the good luck of the three disciples.
Liu Er had a great reputation before, how to say that he would run, if there was no strange thing, it would be strange.
It's just that such a flawless method is in vain?
This Chen Yi's strategy?
Huo Bao is concerned with the Han family.
It was the Han family who harmed the Huo family's daughter in Quyang County before.
Huo Shun dived into Lingshui, and the person he killed in revenge was also the Han family.
Huo Wu promised to avenge Huo Shun, and the stroke of the pit was also the Han family.
There is also the tossing before Huo Man's room, and there is also the Han family behind him.
The Han family is not as harmless as they appear.
The grievances between the Huo and Han families, the Han family didn't know everything about it, let alone the three disciples.
It's just that it's not how to use the Han family.
As for Liu Biao, he has a straightforward temperament, and he is not like Liu Sheng's father and son.
This is one of the Eight Princes of the Red Mansion World, a veritable general.
The uncle and nephew of the Han family are also watching Huo Bao.
Even if they don't convince the third apprentice in their hearts, they can't disobey the Chuzhou Army and Huo Wuye.
In this world, whoever has the biggest fist has the final say.
The Chuzhou army is already beyond their reach.
They also understood General Han's painstaking alliance with Tusan.
The third disciple is not only strong and strong, but also sits on the land of Chuzhou, and has the Chuzhou army as a backer behind him.
The Han family has thousands of soldiers, and in one county, there is no room to compete with the three disciples.
Apprentice San looked at the few people who accompanied the guests and smiled bitterly in his heart.
Half a month ago, on the seat of Chuzhou, Chuzhou was full of military talents.
Here in the Bozhou Army, half a year has passed, but it is still these three melons and two dates.
The gap is so big that people can't pretend to be confused.
There is also the depression in the city of Lingshui County, Chen Yi also reminded him.
You can't just play turf, it's time to choose human rule.
It can follow the example of the Chuzhou Army and hold an officer test.
Follow...... Chuzhou Army......
A meal that everyone tastes bad.
It's just in time for the scene, in the end, it's the mourning period, if you are happy, it is annoying.
That night, Huo Bao was settled in the guest house of the county government with the owner of the horse village and Shui Jin.
Zhu Gang took twenty guards and stayed here.
There are also thirty warriors who were selected by Shuijin, who also rushed to be personal guards and stayed here.
……
Nothing was said all night.
……
Early the next morning, Huo Bao and the others got acquainted with each other and had breakfast together.
Vegetarian buns stuffed with cabbage, brown sugar steamed buns, and four plates of side dishes, no meat, but refreshing.
While eating, a maidservant girl came over to spread the word, Mrs. Han wanted to see Huo Bao and asked Huo Bao to come over.
Huo Bao is a junior, he should have gone to Mrs. Han yesterday to say goodbye, that is, he was called, there was no reason not to go, and he had to follow the servant when he got up.
Shui Jin pulled Huo Bao and said to the servant: "You go back first, go back to Mrs. Han, Young Master Bao is having dinner, and I'll go over later!" ”
The servant went out in response.
Huo Bao looked at Shui Jin suspiciously: "Brother Shui, what's wrong?" ”
The owner of the horse village also brought solemnity: "But what's wrong?" ”
Thousands of accompanying Chuzhou troops were stationed in the Lingshui camp, and there were only 20 soldiers of Huo Bao and 30 warriors under the command of Shui Jin in the county office.
If something really goes wrong here, I don't know what the consequences are.
Shui Jin lowered his voice and said, "This morning, I met Zheng Ji and learned a piece of news...... There is a saying that Marshal Liu did not die of sudden illness in the past few days, but that he received an invitation from the Chuzhou army on August 30, and knew that the Chuzhou army had occupied Jinling...... When I woke up, I confessed to the aftermath and died......"
The owner of the horse village "Teng" stood up.
Huo Bao also looked solemn.
If so, then they are really glad that this is the case.
If Liu Er is still there, under the guise of "avenging his father", he will launch it after they enter the city, which is really scary.
"Humph! Three are not kind! ”
The owner of the horse village patted the table and said.
Thinking about the fifty guards in this courtyard yesterday, if someone in the Liu family really waits for an opportunity to launch, what will it be?
Even if the third apprentice doesn't mention it directly, he should arrange for people to guard this side, just in case.
But in fact, apart from the fifty people they brought with them last night, there were no other people near the guest house.
Yesterday, the owner of the horse village still felt that such an arrangement was in vain to avoid suspicion, which was very appropriate; Today, it seems to be a big omission.
Shui Jin left Huo Bao first, because he was not at ease to let Huo Bao enter the inner courtyard alone, and he wanted to go with him.
The master of the horse village said: "Let's go together, I should also meet this lady!" ”
Mrs. Han's age has reached the age of not avoiding foreign men.
The owner of the horse village came on behalf of Huo Wu again, and it was also a full courtesy to visit Marshal Liu's widow.
Huo Bao was moved in his heart, although he knew that Mrs. Han should ...... didn't make a stupid move, but he didn't refuse the kindness of the two.
One time less, the three of them went to the inner courtyard together.
The maid who was guarding under the porch was quite surprised when she saw that there were three people, and hurriedly went in to spread the word.
When the servant came out, he was followed by the third apprentice.
The third disciple looked sneered: "Brother Ma Liuge and Jinzi are also here!" ”
The master of Ma Zhai said: "I should have come to see Mrs. yesterday, but Mrs. is sick...... Come over today, it's too late! ”
Shui Jin said bluntly: "Is the lady inviting Xiaobao, or is the third master called Xiaobao?" ”
Tu San didn't answer, but looked at Huo Bao, with a little guilt, and whispered: "If there is anything wrong with Madame, Xiaobao will refuse ...... idea."
Huo Bao looked at this uncle, and had a bad premonition in his heart, it wouldn't be this uncle who blocked the gun by himself, right?
As they spoke, the crowd followed the disciples into the house.
Mrs. Han was already standing and waiting.
Looking at the owner of the horse village, Shui Jin and the others, she was not surprised, and obviously heard the movement outside.
If there was only Huo Bao alone, she would be here and could sit still.
It was the owner of the horse village, the envoy of the Chuzhou army, or the real power figure in the Chuzhou army, she would not be big.
"Mother-in-law, this is General Ma of Chuzhou......"
Disciple 3 introduces the owner of the horse village.
As for Shui Jin, he was a member of the Bozhou army before, and he had met the Liu family with the disciples, so he didn't need to be introduced.
Mrs. Han said: "The old man has seen General Ma!" ”
The owner of the horse village avoided and bowed down: "Boy Ma Kui has seen Madame!" ”
Mrs. Han nodded to Shui Jin again and said, "See General Shui again......"
"The boy has seen Madame, Madame's Day condolences!"
Shui Jin stood behind the owner of the horse village and bowed down.
Mrs. Han looked at Huo Bao for the last time.
Huo Bao's heart trembled, please say hello.
This old lady's temperament is not as amiable as it seems.
The last time they met, she gave a gold-inlaid jade belt as a meeting gift, and then proposed to let the apprentice couple accept him as an adopted son, so that Huo Bao used the reason that the apprentice cousin was more qualified to be an adopted son.
This time he was specially invited over, and the third disciple had that expression again, who knows what the old lady is doing.
Huo Bao was thinking wildly in his heart, Mrs. Han had already pulled Huo Bao in front of her, and prayed: "Xiaobao, the old body has something to ask you, I wonder if you can answer in front of Grandpa Liu, who is leaving?" ”
Huo Bao: ......
From the point of view of the third apprentice and the Liu family, the title of this grandfather is not wrong.
It's just that this is a brainless thing, who dares to respond?
Because of the blind date a few days ago, Huo Bao inexplicably thought about the marriage.
Mrs. Han has a daughter and a granddaughter, the son-in-law is not of the right generation, and the granddaughter is the same age as Xiuxiu.
Will......
Deng Jian didn't like him, and if he really had many marriages inexplicably, Deng Jian could eat him raw.
Huo Bao's face showed a little embarrassment and looked at the owner of the horse village.
The owner of the horse village immediately said: "What can Xiaobao a child hold? If there is anything wrong with the lady, she directly ordered the third master to ...... The third apprentice is filial, and he will not disappoint his wife......" said, looked at the apprentice, gritted his teeth and said: "The third apprentice, do you say this is the truth?" ”
He was really annoyed.
First there was the negligence of the guards arranged by the third apprentice yesterday, and then there was this morning, it was obvious that the lady begged the third apprentice, and the third apprentice pushed the nephew out of the top cylinder.
The third uncle is no one.
Tu San sneered: "My mother-in-law told me, but it was just ...... I'm not good at making decisions for Xiaobao......"
The owner of Ma Zhai obviously also thought of the marriage, and said to Mrs. Han: "Even if the third master is not good at acting for Xiaobao, then Mrs. still don't embarrass Xiaobao......
Mrs. Han was puzzled: "Xiaobao's child soldiers, can't Xiaobao be the master?" ”
Everyone was stunned.
Huo Bao knew that he was thinking badly.
Mrs. Han is not talking about a granddaughter, she should be a young son.
That's a hot potato, too.
Huo Bao immediately nodded obediently: "It's all my father's nod...... All the people around me, including the guards and others, are also chosen by my father......"
Mrs. Han didn't suspect that Huo Bao was lying.
Huo Bao is an only son, and it is not unusual for Huo Wu to cherish it.
She showed disappointment and muttered, "Do you have to go to Jinling to meet Huo Wuye?" ”
When Huo Bao heard this, his heart trembled.
Don't go!
He was pondering what to say, and the third disciple had already spoken: "If the mother-in-law is willing to send her brother-in-law to the army to temper, she can be under the command of Brother Biao, and several clan uncles are also there, so you can teach ...... If you are reluctant to let your brother-in-law endure hardships, follow Mr. Chen and learn to take care of housework! ”
Marshal Liu has three sons, but he has no grandson.
The bloodline inheritance of Marshal Liu's branch can't be said to fall on Liu San's head.
Liu San is fifteen this year, and he has been filial piety for three years and eighteen, and then he became his own son and inherited the bloodline.
Mrs. Han looked at Tu San fixedly, as if to discern whether he was true or false.
The three disciples looked sincere, and they really thought about it.
Liu Er didn't say it, Liu San here, as long as he didn't die by himself, he must be saved.
