Chapter Forty-Nine: One Family, Two Families

In the early morning, the battle flag flutters.

17,000 people, more than 30 songs, covering the sky and the earth as far as the eye can see.

At the gate of Quyang City, everyone came to see off Tu Sanyi and his entourage.

A glass of sake, a magnificent color.

"The third apprentice, Brother Ma, Brother Du, Brother Du, the flag is victorious!" Deng Jian is the leader, and everyone is given a glass of wine.

"Okay, borrow Cousin Deng's auspicious words!"

The third disciple drank the wine in the cup, glanced at Huo Wu and his son who were standing beside Deng Jian, and turned to get on the horse.

"Da da da", the sound of horses' hooves faded away.

The army departed, leaving a trail of smoke and dust.

Huo Bao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his father.

Finally waiting for this day, I don't know whether to be reluctant to have more, or to look forward to less.

"Stay put!" Huo Wu patted his son on the shoulder.

"Dad, take good care, there are still cousins and seventh uncles here in everything."

Tu San snorted lightly, and Xue Biao nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, Xiaobao, you won't let your father suffer." ”

Ma Juzi, Xue Xiao, and Lin Jin listened inexplicably.

Ma Juzi's heart moved, and when he looked around, he found that not only Huo Hu and Lin Qing were gone, but Huo Bao's right-hand men Huo Bao and Hou Xiaoming were also missing.

"Fifth Uncle!" The foal stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Huo Wu smiled and didn't answer, only looked back at the city gate.

The heads of the people who were pressed and led out of the city gate were Huo Hu and Niu Qing, who had not been seen in the morning.

Columns of troops poured out, and it was the Siqu County soldiers who had only been separated yesterday afternoon.

After two thousand people, the team did not come to an end, and several thousand more people came out one after another.

The foal was speechless as he held the handle of his sword.

Where are they going to send troops?

I don't know, is this a guard against her?

I have set up Xue Xiao and Lin Jin, are I also being overlooked by Huo Hu and Niu Qing?

The law enforcement team is Wubo's law enforcement team, not its own law enforcement team! The 2,000 people who expanded the army will only be 2,000 people of Wubo.

In the end, it is two families, and his previous little calculation is just a joke in the eyes of the fifth uncle.

Without waiting for the foals to be entangled, Niu Qing had already pulled a few horses forward and distributed them to the foals.

Xue Xiao and Lin Jin were all confused.

"What the hell is going on?" Xue Xiao whispered to the colt.

Lin Jin also looked at the foal.

Ma Zi was depressed in his heart, but he didn't want to show his cowardice in front of the two, so he only frowned and said, "Long-winded, why do you ask so much?" With that, he took the reins and turned over on his horse.

The two looked at each other and followed on their horses.

Six thousand, mighty, went south.

Huo Bao stood at the gate of the county seat, next to Xiuxiu with a tense little face.

"Cousin, my father ...... them" The little girl's voice was trilling, worried in the end.

"Don't worry, Binjiang County is a lower county, the county has a full quota of 700 soldiers, and the actual number of soldiers is less than 600, and my cousin gives them military training."

Xiuxiu breathed a sigh of relief.

When the two entered the city, they saw Huo Bao wearing helmets and armor, and took over the defense of the city gate with two tun of child soldiers.

Xiuxiu only looked curiously, not surprised.

Deng Jian and Huo Wu led 6,000 county soldiers to attack Binjiang in the south, and in addition to 1,000 auxiliary soldiers in the county, there were only 1,000 child soldiers.

Deng Jian left the seal of the county lieutenant and handed over the defense of Quyang to Huo Bao.

The first thing Huo Bao did was to take over the defense of the two city gates, and one gate and two tun child soldiers were stationed.

There were 800 scouts left, 600 left behind in the county barracks, and 200 patrolling the four cities.

"Cousin, where are we going?"

"County Soldier Battalion!" Huo Bao Dao.

The 1,000 auxiliaries can't be idle, otherwise who knows what will happen.

Sure enough, when Huo Bao and Xiuxiu arrived at the county barracks, the two hundred auxiliary soldiers were confronting Hou Xiaobao.

Seeing Huo Bao and Xiuxiu, their eyes flickered.

"Young master, eldest lady, there is really something in this family, old Taishan has a long life...... "The older man said in a good voice.

The younger one pointed to the small guy outside the camp gate: "I also have something at home, my brother is looking for it!" ”

"The county lieutenant has an order not to allow auxiliaries to leave the camp, two ...... Is this to disobey the orders of the county governor? Huo Bao glanced at the two of them.

"There was something temporary, we didn't expect it before!" Elder 100 households.

The young man was anxious: "The order of the county lieutenant is for the soldiers, not for us." Even the county lieutenant is here, and there is no reason to stop us from leaving the camp! ”

Huo Bao ignored the two of them, and only asked Hou Xiaoming: "The access control is too loose, if anyone passes it, it will be good to check!" Since the county lieutenant has an order, everything is respected! ”

"Order!" Hou Xiaoming responded, and the two hundred households changed their faces.

"This ...... the young master," the elder Baihu seemed to hesitate.

The young hundred households were indignant and wanted to pull Huo Bao.

Without waiting for Huo Bao, with the two whistles of "woo", more than 20 scouts came out of "Hulala" and surrounded the two hundred households.

Huo Bao nodded to Hou Xiaoming and took Xiuxiu into the county barracks.

"Just leave it alone?" Xiuxiu hesitated.

"It's just a big fool who was pushed out, in the end, it's an old man who follows his cousin, it's just confined, it's not interesting to ask, people who really have bad intentions are waiting in the dark." Huo Bao Dao.

Deng Jian's subordinates were only from hundreds of households, but they were all partners before, and they were close to each other.

Even if Huo Bao is "a new official takes office with three fires", he must pick and let it go, and the "chicken" who "kills chickens and monkeys" cannot be chosen casually, otherwise the scouts will be placed on the opposite side of the county soldiers, which will only make people who secretly make small moves happy.

Deng Jian had already found out the situation on the Binjiang side, and there were 700 county soldiers in full, but there were actually more than 500 people.

Even if Huo Wu brought 2,000 people south, he could take it down, and he didn't need to work so hard at all.

The purpose of pouring out of the nest in this way is to "lure the snake out of the hole" and take the opportunity to clean up the public security in Quyang.

After a while, Hou Xiaoming came over and replied: "Bao Ye, the two hundred households closed the small black house, and named one of the tun chiefs under their respective names as the representatives of the hundred households." ”

"The remaining two Qu Chang and eight hundred households are also being watched." Huo Bao Dao.

There are only a few people who can agitate two hundred households out of the camp.

Hou Xiaoming responded, and there was a slightly heavy footstep outside the door.

Without waiting for the knock on the door, Huo Bao said, "Zhu Qiang, come in!" ”

It was none other than Zhu Xiaoer, the captain of the Scout auxiliaries.

The little fat man is not very old, he is round, he is the most clever, he stepped on his brother and became the captain of the army, and then he was promoted to the captain of the auxiliary team.

When the Scout Army expanded, Zhu Xiaoer was still the captain of the auxiliary soldiers, and his subordinates had jurisdiction over more than 200 Scouts.

"Bao Ye, there are four tunnels found near the county soldier camp, the nearest one is two feet two feet away from the county soldier camp, and in the tunnel, someone has hidden five barrels of raw lacquer."

Tunnels, lacquer, burning the county barracks?

Can be so generous, is this to seize power?

There are not many people in the county who can toss such a big one.

"The exit on the other side of the tunnel, but Huang Ju's family?" Huo Bao thought for a moment and said.

"No, it's the county government's house!"

The county government's back house?

This Quyang is also strange now, there is no civil official such as the county order, the county officer, and the lord Bo, only a county lieutenant, all his thoughts are on the county soldier camp, ignoring the yamen.

In a large county with 8,000 households, there will be no shortage of trivial things every day, and what will become of this yamen after it has been stopped for more than two months is really hard to think about.

"Who else is there at the county office?" Huo Bao turned his head and asked Hou Xiaoming.

Hou Xiaoming is not only the leader of the Scouts, but also the captain of the scout team.

"Among the six documents, the three subjects of criminal, household and engineering are all there, and the household documents are the first."

"What is the origin of the household clerk? Won't you also be related to the former county commander and the lord? ”

Among the six departments of the county government, the household department involves the people's livelihood, and the oil and water are the most sufficient, and ordinary people really can't find this shortage.

"It's not the previous household clerk, the first household clerk fled with the county order, and now the household clerk was a household clerk before, and the county lieutenant was promoted to a clerk after he took power, and he is the ......nephew of Master Deng."

Huo Bao looked at Xiuxiu, Master Deng's nephew is Xiuxiu's cousin, and his relatives are not far away, but he has never heard Deng Jian's father and daughter mention it before.

Xiuxiu's little face pulled down: "My cousin is a child, he is stupid to read, let's go and see, don't let people take advantage of it!" ”

Huo Bao nodded and instructed Hou Xiaoming: "Order two hundred people, follow me to the county government to have a look." ”

Hou Xiaoming responded and went down to order troops, and Huo Bao ordered Zhu Qiang again: "Guard the county soldier camp, and sweep the camp around." ”

Zhu Qiang responded, and went down to take someone to check without mentioning it.

Huo Bao, Xiuxiu, and Hou Xiaoming took two hundred scouts and went to the county government in a mighty way.

At the entrance of the county office, it is not the depression that Huo Bao imagined, the ground is clean and tidy, and there are people at the door.

Seeing the Scouts from far and near, the face of the door changed, and he turned around and ran inside.

Huo Bao squinted his eyes and looked at the huge county government compound.

It's really dark under the lights.

The county order and the county official have all run away, and several documents are still headed by the relatives of the county lieutenant, who would have thought that this county government compound is not peaceful.

"Bao Ye!" Hou Xiaoming's face was flushed, and he hurriedly bowed: "It's the negligence of his subordinates who didn't investigate the county government!" ”

"I don't blame you, I ordered you to monitor the gentry and merchants in the city! Surround it first, and then send a message to the 200 people on patrol to come and support! Huo Bao commanded.

The lion fights the rabbit, and also uses all his strength.

I don't know the details of the county office, Huo Bao will not risk the life of a child soldier.

Two hundred scouts dispersed and surrounded the front and back of the county office, among which fifty archers, half of them were at the back gate and half behind Huo Bao, with their bows ready to be shot, aiming at the gate of the county government.

The footsteps of "clicking" came from far and near, and several people dressed as Confucian students walked out of the county government gate.

Seeing the situation outside, those people were standing at the door, their expressions unpredictable.

One of them, twenty-five or six-year-old, with a short beard, probably came out in a hurry, his clothes were a little untidy, he looked at Xiuxiu, then at Huo Bao, and took two steps forward: "This is the little brother of the Huo family, right?" You can follow the show girl and call me uncle. ”

Huo Bao didn't answer, but took a few steps forward and directly lifted the man's Confucian coat.

In a blue Confucian robe, with a snow-white background.

"Don't move, don't look at indecency!" The man hurriedly pressed his clothes and scolded, "Brother Huo, what are you doing? Looking at Svenwen, why did he move his hands and feet as soon as he came up? Vulgar! ”

Huo Bao didn't answer, and looked up at the man: "You prepared the lacquer?" Did you ask someone to dig the tunnel? You...... Voted for the White Shirts?! ”
