Whether it is Deng Jian, or Disciple San, or Huo Wu, they are all calm temperaments.

At this night banquet, no matter how Xue Biao took the lead, no one answered, just gossip, and no one went to the right place.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was settled in the barracks.

Huo Bao served his father, and the father and son rested together.

"If Deng Jian continues to pull down, your third uncle will not be able to get off the stage." Huo Wu whispered to his son.

The two sides negotiated, and the third apprentice really didn't have an advantage, and whoever let him go up still had Marshal Liu.

Even if he promised something, Marshal Liu didn't admit it, and everyone had no way.

Deng Jian should have been so hesitant to come here.

"Uncle Deng is afraid that he will be embarrassed, this number of people is small, he keeps more, and the burden of grain and grass is heavy; This person has a large number of people and a weak ability to protect himself, so he will not be swallowed up if he turns back.

Dilemma, nothing more.

"If he is really embarrassed, he will not let you pass the word, he is holding it like this, but it is just to put forward conditions for tomorrow, and look, even your third uncle has it in his heart." Huo Wu's breath was gloating.

“……”

Huo Bao couldn't help but wonder: "Will the third uncle be annoyed?" ”

"Annoyed by what? He wants to stand firm under Marshal Liu, and he will have to rely on these people in the future, so he can't get annoyed. Huo Wu disagreed.

The next day, Deng Jian had dark circles under his eyes and looked like he hadn't slept well, but he didn't delay any longer, and directly invited the three apprentices to talk privately, and the only guests were Huo Wu's father and son.

"From Cousin Huo, we are not outsiders, I can understand the difficulties of the third apprentice, and my difficulties are also in the eyes of the third apprentice. After thinking about it for half a night last night, I couldn't think of a way to do both. To tell the truth, if the third apprentice can call the shots, then it's easy to say, I can't believe it, but this is mixed with others, always think twice and protect yourself. ”

Disciple San Zhengse said: "The younger brother understands Brother Deng's concerns, so let the brother-in-law and Xiaobao testify, from today on, the younger brother is willing to help Brother Deng advance and retreat together." If someone is not kind to Brother Deng in the future, the younger brother will stop him; If my younger brother has a bad heart and plots against Brother Deng, I will be disgusted by heaven and earth, and there will be no good end! ”

Deng Jian listened carefully, nodded and said, "If the third apprentice dares to speak, I will dare to listen." Cousin Huo and Xiaobao also gave me a testimony, as long as the third apprentice does not live up to me, I will also live up to the third apprentice, if I violate this oath, I will be killed by a knife and axe, and I will die in the place where I am buried. ”

The two did not shed blood, but as soon as the poisonous oath was established, the covenant was also established.

The two are of the same age, and this alliance is a little more sympathetic to each other.

The Huo family's father and son glanced at each other and understood that the next foreplay was almost the same, and the next thing was to make an offer.

"I have a bad temper, and I don't have a sleek temperament, I don't bother to go out and toss, I just want to guard the acre and three points of land in Quyang." Deng Jiandao.

"That's a pity, but since it's Brother Deng's choice, the little brother won't be verbose."

"I'm from Binjiang...... Now, although the relatives are cut off, in the end, it is where the blessed land of the ancestors is located, and they do not want to be occupied by outsiders......"

The three were silent, there were only four counties in Chuzhou, and Deng Jian asked for two counties when he opened his mouth.

Lingshui is already under the jurisdiction of the White Shirt Army, and Marshal Liu is worried about the entire territory of Chuzhou, not half of it.

Quyang was already in Deng Jian's hands, and this promise was nothing, but the geographical location of this riverside was critical.

"The third apprentice on my side has also seen it, but a few little brothers in the strong class don't even have a helper...... I asked cheekily, can I keep Cousin Huo and Xiaobao...... Binjiang is not only the ancestral land of our Deng family, but also the place where the fifth and Huo family ancestral land is located...... The two of them will go to Binjiang, if there is anything wrong with Huainan Road in the future, you and my brother will also have a way out......" Deng Jian said earnestly.

Before the third apprentice could react, Huo Wu had already waved his hand and said, "No, no!" Our two fathers are here to testify today, why do we still have our business? Even if we leave Black Python Mountain, we will either follow the third child or follow you, how good it is for relatives to be in one place, there is no reason to separate when you get together! ”

Huo Bao's face also showed a bit of surprise.

The third disciple looked in his eyes and understood his brother-in-law's concerns.

Pity the parents of the world, the brother-in-law is old, and he is not worried about Xiaobao, and wants to follow him or Deng Jian, a cousin, just in case there is someone to entrust.

However, Deng Jian is not a random candidate, Binjiang is behind Quyang, and echoing with the state capital can outflank Quyang.

If Binjiang falls into the hands of others, Deng Jian really can't feel at ease.

and Deng Jian's last sentence of "back road" also made Tu San's heart moved.

He took twenty-four people to leave Bozhou and took the initiative to take over the "recovery" of Quyang, but because he was excluded and had no place to stand, he had no choice but to go south to find another way out.

Now that Chuzhou has not been hit, the third disciple has to think about the follow-up.

Marshal Liu reversed course once, and there was a second time. Instead of gambling on Marshal Liu's conscience, it is better to protect yourself.

Thinking like this, the third disciple looked at Huo Wu and persuaded: "Brother-in-law will help us, Binjiang is only thirty miles away from Quyang, and it is only fifty miles away from the state capital, but it is only half a day's journey......

Huo Wu frowned and looked at the two of them: "You two are worried, you don't worry about Marshal Liu, then you will occupy Chuzhou by yourself, and half of one person is, why do you have to invite a big Buddha on your head?" ”

Geng asked this straightforwardly, if he wasn't really close to the two of them, he wouldn't have asked this.

Tu San smiled bitterly: "My brother-in-law used to contact those people in the cottage, and I don't know the weight of this sect leader in the hearts of folk disciples. In the eyes of the people, the head of the sect is the Buddha's missionary in the mortal world, no matter how respectful it is, it can't be wrong. ”

Deng Jian also showed a little depression on his face: "Over the years, the Maitreya Sect has spread so much, not only in the white-shirted army, but also in the county soldiers. ”

"It's amazing, this is the head of the sect, you don't have to worry about anything, you can take advantage ......of everything" Huo Wu disagreed: "You two don't be too honest in the future, you work in vain and are disliked, why bother?" ”

Neither Disciple San nor Deng Jian answered.

Tu San's heart was sour, he really believed in the Buddha, and he was willing to do his best for the peace of the people, but as his brother-in-law said, he was still disgusted for working in vain.

If it weren't for his good results in recruitment, which made Marshal Liu's nephew jealous, he would not have been persecuted by slander and almost lost his life.

Deng Jian's face was heavy, but he glanced at Huo Wu.

This is just a brother-in-law's "words of concern"? And deliberately provoked?

At this moment, Tu San let go of the sourness in his heart and pleaded again: "Brother-in-law, you can help us...... Brother Deng's family is cut off, and I am also alone here, and the only one who can entrust the way back is my brother-in-law......"

Huo Wu still frowned, thought for a while, and said, "It's okay for me to listen to you, but I'm a rough person, I'm afraid that I can't take care of anything, you have to promise me two conditions......"

Disciple 3 and Deng Jian both looked at Huo Wu.

"Brother-in-law just said."

"Cousin Huo, you say!"

"San'er, leave two helpers with me...... Let's go into the water and Xue Biao, the water boy is a man who can lead soldiers, and Xue Biao is a good logistical hand...... "Huo Wuxian said three things to the disciples.

"Okay, just listen to my brother-in-law." The three of them answered happily.

There is no shortage of talent to lead the troops, but there is no capable person around Huo Wu's father and son.

Deng Jian's face sank.

What are the Huo family father and son doing?

Such a condition is to give away the land to the apprentice for nothing?

This can't be their father and son singing a duet with their apprentices, right?

Huo Wu turned to Deng Jian: "The second thing, my cousin has to answer me." I can promise you two to go to Binjiang, but Xiaobao can't! Binjiang is separated from Jinling by a river, and if the imperial court transfers troops from Jiangnan to the north, Binjiang is the most dangerous...... I only have this one, and I don't dare to put him in danger...... Just let him stay with his cousin, learn the method from his cousin for a few days, and save himself from pondering......"
