"Cousin!"

The little girl lifted the carriage curtain and looked at Huo Bao, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she was about to get out of the carriage.

Huo Bao stepped forward and helped her out of the carriage.

"Tired or not?"

"Not tired! Sitting in the car all the time! ”

When the Li family saw Huo Bao there, they all got out of the carriage.

The Li family went north, dragging the family and bringing many serious people.

There are Li Qianhu and Li Yuan's parents, Li Qianhu's wife and children, and Li Qianhu's brother-in-law's family.

Chuzhou is in the north of Huainan Province and cannot be a base camp.

Master Lin is now in Binjiang to coordinate logistics and military affairs.

It is the owner of the horse village and Huo Bao's uncle and nephew, and they will also go south to join Huo Wu and others in the future.

Chuzhou should be left behind by Li Qianhu in the future.

"Hello Bao Ye, say hello to Bao Ye!"

The old man and the old lady of the Li family stepped forward with their children and grandchildren and bowed down to say hello.

Huo Bao hurriedly helped the two old men.

Li Qianhu is called "uncle", and there is no reason to put on a score in front of the Li family.

After greeting for a while, Huo Bao gave Li Yuan two days off and asked him to accompany his father and mother well before saying goodbye to the Li family.

Xiuxiu here, brought a foster mother and two little maids.

He was accompanied by two carts of luggage.

"The last time I came to the state capital was the year before last!"

The little girl set off early, sat in the carriage for a day, and when she got off the carriage, she didn't want to go up again, looking around, it was very novel.

Huo Bao asked Huo Bao to take people and carriages back to the state capital to settle down first, and he accompanied the little girl on foot.

"Huh? I've been here before! ”

When passing by the Jingwei Building, Xiuxiu stopped: "His family has Sixi Roasted Wheat, which is beautiful and delicious!" His grandfather is a friend of his grandfather, and he invited us to dinner last time......"

Huo Bao couldn't help but be surprised when he heard it.

If it is an old friend of Master Deng, why don't you see Deng Jian getting close to the Guo family?

The Guo family also has no intention of reminiscing.

"Last time, Master Guo brought his grandson, and grandpa praised it, but he was annoyed somehow!" The little girl said casually: "They are all dozens of years old, and they are still like children, and they will turn their faces when they say it!" ”

“……”

"Uncle Sixth is waiting at home to pick you up, I like Jingweilou, let's eat tomorrow!" Huo Bao suppressed his curiosity and said.

"Hmm!" The little girl nodded hurriedly.

……

The city gate was not far from the state capital, and while the two were talking, they slipped to the gate of the state capital.

Huo Bao sent people directly to Deng Jian's yard.

Waiting for the little girl to wash up briefly, Huo Bao took two brocade burdens, and the two went to the owner of the horse village.

……

Huo Bao is already there.

The owner of the horse village looked at Xiuxiu and liked it very much: "It's a little taller, our Xiuxiu is a big girl!" ”

Xiuxiu pursed her lips, blessed with blessings, and said in a crisp voice: "Sixth uncle! ”

"Good! Good! Sit down, know that you like sweets, and order a few snacks from the kitchen, come up in a while, and see if you like to eat! ”

"Thank you, Uncle Liu, as long as it's sweet, I love it!"

The master of the horse village said: "A few days ago, your sister Pony and they came back from the mountains and brought a lot of wild honey...... Take it and drink it if you like......"

"That niece is not polite to the sixth uncle, the niece loves honey mixed with apples to eat!"

The smile of the owner of the horse village is even more kind.

Huo Bao was speechless.

After getting along for more than half a year, he saw that this sixth uncle was Yan Kong.

is so close to Xiuxiu, not only "love the house and Wu", but also the main thing is that Xiuxiu is good-looking and well-behaved.

The owner of Ma Zhai complained to Huo Wu several times in private, regretting that he did not insist on choosing Niu Qing as his son-in-law, disgusted that Huo Hu was getting thicker and thicker as he grew older, and worried that his little granddaughter and grandson would not grow well in the future.

Xiuxiu's side had already taken out a small box: "I don't know what Uncle Liubo loves, my niece made two bottles of sherbet out of apples, and Uncle Liubo can use it to smoke the house and clothes!" ”

The owner of the horse village took it, was very happy, and said: "This is the meat of the sixth uncle's heart!" ”

The owner of the horse village looks rough, but he is not a rough man in life, he has a bit of cleanliness, he can't smell the smell, and he is used to carrying sachets.

Xiuxiu's gift can be regarded as his favorite.

Huo Bao's eyes fell on the two burdens next to him: "Cousin, do you only give gifts to the sixth grandfather?" What about Uncle Bao and mine? ”

Xiuxiu said seriously: "Don't worry, I didn't leave your ......" Speaking of this, she smiled again: "I also made a wild goose and helped people carry gifts!" ”

Huo Bao thought of the Wang family before, and immediately understood, and his eyes brightened.

Xiuxiu opened the burden and handed a purse to Huo Bao.

Looking at the two green bamboos embroidered on it, Huo Bao took it with a red face.

It's not right to touch.

When I opened it, I saw an ivory wrench inside.

Touching the white and greasy ivory, thinking about the pink and tender cheeks of the eldest girl's sister, Huo Bao's heart was hot.

Xiuxiu had already taken another item and handed it to Huo Bao: "Oh, this is what Grandpa gave you!" ”

Huo Bao immediately accepted the purse and said in surprise: "Hand crossbow!" ”

That's right, one and a half feet long, it's a pair of steel-hardened hand crossbows.

The crossbow arrows on the hand crossbow are also made of steel.

Huo Bao couldn't put it down and said, "It's so exquisite! There are dozens of crossbows in the camp, which are very bulky and not cheap to use! ”

"Grandpa met in Jinling, and he knew that you loved this, so he bought it!"

"It's still my grandfather who loves me, and I'll be filial to my cousin when I look back!"

Xiuxiu couldn't cry or laugh, wrinkled her nose and said, "Who wants your filial piety!" ”

Huo Bao smiled and watched the two talk, and couldn't help but look at the package that hadn't been opened yet.

The remaining one is a gift for yourself.

Xiuxiu was not in a hurry to open the package, but only looked at Huo Bao's figure.

Huo Bao was puzzled and looked down at his body.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Huo Bao said on the side: "Cousin, did you see that Uncle Bao had lost weight again?" A few days ago, Uncle Bao had a bitter summer, and he lost his weight! ”

Xiuxiu opened the package and said, "Fortunately, my cousin is not fat, otherwise this thing would not be needed." ”

It's golden, dazzling to the human eye.

Huo Bao took it, and it was quite weighty.

It is a very delicate gold wire inner armor, light weight, and is woven with gold wire mixed silk thread.

"I heard that it came from Kyori...... It's a pity that there is only this one, it's still small, cheap cousin! ”

Xiuxiu looked at Jin Sijia with a little regret.

Although the little girl has been married, she still doesn't know the thoughts of men and women, and her father is the most important thing in her heart.

My father is fighting again......

The little girl's face showed a little worry.

"Don't worry, Uncle Cousin uses a full set of armor, and his kung fu is powerful, and others can't get close!"

"Amitabha, Buddha blesses, my father and the five uncles are all safe!"

The little girl is very religious.

……

After eating at the master of the horse village, Huo Bao sent Xiuxiu back.

"The logistics account books of the Wolf Warrior Battalion are in a mess, you are here, just pick it up early!" Huo Bao Dao.

The little girl hesitated on her face: "This is the state capital, and there are many rules, isn't it bad for me to come forward to take care of these?" ”

Huo Bao frowned and said, "What's wrong?" Did anyone say anything? ”

The little girl hurriedly shook her head and said thoughtfully: "Then I'll try it first, if others don't allow it, my cousin won't be embarrassed for me!" ”

"At the beginning of July, 300,000 taels of silver were brought back from Jinling...... Still in the storeroom...... Look at how to use ......," Huo Bao remembered and said.

This 300,000 yuan is the official silver that Huo Bao personally took people to Jinling to rob.

The little girl proposed: "If you have extra money, should you pay back the 50,000 taels of the apprentice uncle first?" ”

Huo Bao was stunned.

He had long forgotten about it.

At the beginning, Huo Wu, Ma Zhai Owner, Xue Biao, Du Laoba, Deng Jian, and Tu San each pooled the capital of 50,000 taels of silver to Huo Bao.

When the Chuzhou incident happened, Huo Bao directly handed over the grain trading to the Chuzhou army logistics.

Here, there is also 50,000 taels of silver for the third apprentice.

"Cousin doesn't want to?"

The little girl frowned and looked at Huo Bao, her little face was full of disapproval: "It can't be like this!" Honesty should be used in business, no matter whether we have a good relationship with our uncle or not, we should not keep this money secret! ”

Seeing that she misunderstood, Huo Bao hurriedly shook his head: "It's not unwilling, it's that I've been thinking about preparing for war, and I forgot about it." ”

The little girl breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good to remember!" It's not good for Bai Zhan to be cheap, and it's not easy for the apprentice uncle, the capital of the sixth and seventh uncles also borrowed the power of the apprentice uncle! ”

The capital of these three people is 150,000 taels of silver, which is the income of the official treasury copied by Tu Sanyi and his party when they first entered Chuzhou.

Huo Bao looked at the little girl with a slightly complicated mood.

This little girl is very benevolent!

More human than himself.

Xiuxiu mentioned the third apprentice, and couldn't help but start worrying about Huo Bao: "The Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony, has my cousin returned?" No matter what the elders are, the cousin is the nephew of the third uncle, so it's not rude. ”

A return gift?

"Uncle didn't send a gift, I guess I'm still annoyed!" Huo Bao Dao.

When it comes to the respect and humility of the elders and the young, Huo Wu is the elder, and he should also give gifts to the third disciple.

"No courtesy?"

Xiuxiu was surprised: "It shouldn't be, even if the uncle of the apprentice family is not happy, there are still 8,000 people around!" Wubo is not someone else, he can be a backer for him if he occupies Chuzhou, as long as he is not a fool, he will not break the relationship between Wubo! ”

Listening to the little girl's words, Huo Bao was also a little puzzled.

That's true.

The infighting in Bozhou was fierce, and several marshals were divided into camps, but Marshal Liu's camp was divided into several groups.

Tu San really didn't give up Huo Wu's help.

Could it be that Jiang Ping is doing bad things inside?

The little girl wrinkled her brows and said, "Could it be that there is a delay on the road?" Still is...... Can't send it out? ”

When Huo Bao heard this, his heart also hung up.

In the wild history anecdotes of later generations, it was mentioned that Zhu Taizu was in a difficult situation, was suspected by Guo Shuai and imprisoned, and his wife gave him a cake.

But that's the end of it, right?

"Isn't there any news from Bozhou?"

The little girl said.

Huo Bao stopped, his expression solemn.

Daddy began to set up intelligence agencies in June, and sent several groups of people to go down, Bozhou in the first place, then Hezhou, Luzhou, and finally Yangzhou and Jinling.

If there is an accident in Bozhou, the news should be sent back.

Unless, you can't send it out.

"I can't say that something really happened in Bozhou, you go back and rest first, and I'll go to talk to the sixth uncle."

Huo Bao Dao.

Xiuxiu nodded and comforted: "Don't worry too much about cousin...... Maybe it's just that we're thinking blindly and scaring ourselves. ”

Huo Bao nodded, and saw the little girl enter the yard, and then hurriedly went to find the owner of the horse village.

……

The owner of the horse village had already gone to the backyard, and when he heard that Huo Bao had gone, he returned to the front yard.

"Sixth uncle, how long has it been since Bozhou came back?"

"Bozhou news is delivered on the 10th, and the last time was the third day of the new year...... Hey? This news is late......"

The main face of the horse village also had a solemnity: "Could it be that Bozhou has changed?" Martial law? ”

Chuzhou had also been under martial law before, and it was not allowed to enter but not leave.

The owner of the horse village immediately wanted to fight.

Marshal Sun of Bozhou, everyone has heard of it, after annexing the two marshal soldiers, he has more than 30,000 men and horses.

If he reunifies Bozhou, it will not be a good thing for Chuzhou.

Bozhou is above Henan Road, and if Bozhou wants to expand, it will also choose Huainan Road, either to fight Chuzhou or Chuzhou.

Chuzhou is next to Yangzhou, so Marshal Sun will get it first, and when everyone fights Yangzhou in the future, they will have to suffer from the enemy.

If troops are sent to fight Chuzhou, the main force of Chuzhou soldiers is fighting Hezhou, and the nest is dangerous.

The owner of the horse village did not delay, and immediately summoned people and quickly went to Bozhou to listen to the news.

"Grandma's, Marshal Liu is so useless? Isn't there another Monk Feng? Wouldn't it be okay for the two to join forces? The master of the horse village cursed.

He was lazy and didn't want to suffer from the conquest, so he was willing to stay.

Unexpectedly, Bozhou added chaos again.

Huo Bao remembered one thing, and his face changed: "Sixth uncle...... Maybe it's not the civil strife in Bozhou......"
