Forty-eight vegetarian dishes came up one by one, where can the table of eight immortals be placed?

The three of them ate the effect of a running water seat.

Huo Bao's meal is placed here, Shui Jin and Xue Xiao are also young and strong, and the amount of food is not small.

The vegetarian dishes here are exquisitely presented, and the amount of dishes is not enough, and a few chopsticks are sandwiched.

It is worthy of Xue Xiao's admiration, the ingredients are cabbage, tofu, and mushrooms, which can be fried and fried, and the taste is full.

There is a red stewed vegetarian palm, which looks similar to that on the "Eight Treasures Banquet" a few days ago, and it is almost chaotic.

The welcome thought that the three of them were playing at the front station, and there were other guests, but he didn't expect that there were only three of them.

I was still muttering that the three of them were losers and wasted food, but I didn't expect this dish to be put on the table, and what was removed was the disc.

Even Dr. Nacha felt strange, and stood next to him with wide eyes.

More than 40 dishes, one by one, are not a short effort.

The official on the other side of the street waited for half an hour, but he didn't see the guests come out, so he was impatient to come and check.

Huo Bao and the others have already eaten more than 30 plates, and the remaining dozen plates are also on the table.

The official looked left and right, and saw no other guests, and then looked at the chairs and three of them, and said in surprise: "It's from Huainan again?" It's been a few days since you've eaten? ”

However, seeing that Xue Xiao was wearing brocade, the official's attitude eased a lot, and said to the welcome: "Can you explain it to the guest?" We are ordered to collect taxes, and we will be responsible for missing the tax, but we can't embarrass us! ”

Yingbin looked helpless on his face and looked at Xue Xiao.

Xue Xiao was annoyed, but he also knew that "the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake", and said, "How much?" ”

"Two dollars a table! A few little boys...... Count one table, or count a few tables, it's a little hard to say. The servant twisted his finger and said.

Xue Xiao naturally understood, touched two silver beans and handed them over.

A silver bean is two coins, which is four coins.

The official took the silver bean, bit it in his mouth, and then stuffed one into his arms, turned the remaining silver bean, and said with a smile: "Two dollars of silver, tax clear!" With that, he swaggered out.

Xue Xiao snorted lightly and asked someone to settle the account.

A pot of tea, forty-nine dishes, a total of four taels and three dollars.

The three of them came out of the Lotus House, and it was already dusk.

The shops that were still open before have all been closed.

There were few pedestrians on the road, only beggars in the streets and alleys, with fierce lights in their eyes.

All three of them cautioned and paid attention.

Far behind were two beggars, three stopped, and the other two stopped; Three people go, those two go.

All the way there was nothing until I got back to the foot shop, and I didn't see any beggar coming up.

"Gutsless rats!" Xue Xiao looked back at the trailing man who was hiding his head and tail in the distance, with contempt on his face.

Huo Bao and Shui Jin glanced at each other, and their faces were more vigilant.

If those beggars directly entangle the manpower and block the three of them on the road, they will not be afraid.

With Huo Bao and Shui Jin, the three of them will not suffer.

It's just embellished, but it has some meaning of planning and then acting.

The convoy brought 160 young people, and as long as they inquired clearly, ordinary people would not act rashly.

But if you really want to move, then you are not an ordinary person.

"Changning is about the same size as Quyang." Huo Bao to the water approach.

Shui Jin was slightly stunned, and then frowned.

The two counties are about the same, and the soldiers in that county are about the same.

Quyang County is a thousand soldiers.

Even if you come halfway, it's a big problem.

"Not really." Shui Jin said: "You have to find a reason. ”

"Food is worth it, mules are worth it, cars are worth it!" Huo Bao Dao.

A stone of grain is now one or two halves of silver, and a cart of five stones is seven taels and a half; Adult horses and mules are fifteen taels of silver each, and carriages are three taels of silver.

This cart is twenty-five taels and a half, and twenty grain carts are all counted, which is more than five hundred taels of silver.

With more than 160 young men accompanying him, who would believe that these 20 carts were loaded with grain?

In addition, Xue Xiao was dressed up, and the silver beans opened the way along the way, plus the whole seat of the lotus house, anyone who heard it would think that he was a wealthy businessman.

"If I knew this trouble, I shouldn't have gone into the city!" Water enters the head and cold sweat breaks out.

If you are not afraid during the day, it is night, and the city gate is closed, and this is a disturbance, and you will be "closed and beaten by dogs".

Huo Bao thought for a while and said: "The local magistrate is a Qing official, and even if he is presumptuous, he will take care of it, and most of them will act in the second half of the night. ”

The water listened and looked in the direction of the city gate.

This foot shop is inside the city gate, less than a mile away from the city gate, if you stay up until dawn to open the city, you are not afraid to rush out.

Xue Xiao listened to the two of them, confused, and said, "Why shouldn't you go into the city?" What is the first half of the night and the second half of the night? ”

Huo Bao said: "Does Brother Xiao know how many county soldiers there are in Changning?" ”

"I don't know, someone does." Xue Xiao beckoned an acquaintance to come over and ask.

"There are 1,000 full members, but the local area has always been peaceful, and there are many shortages, and the actual staff is six or seventy." The guy replied: "Among them, there are two hundred households stationed in Maoshan and Baohua Mountain. ”

Huo Bao and Shui Jin glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, the county soldiers in the county town are about 500 at most, and half of them are 250, which is much stronger than imagined.

"You're not going to fight Changning's idea, are you?"

Xue Xiao was incredulous: "This is not Huainan...... The county seat is not so easy to occupy. Even if you barely occupy it, you can't hold it! ”

Huo Bao shook his head and said: "Brother Xue misunderstood, we asked the county soldiers not to worry about fighting the county seat, but to protect themselves tonight." ”

"Huh?!" Xue Xiao said disapprerovingly: "What are the good county soldiers doing? Isn't it time to think about guarding against those beggars? It's all poor and crazy cheap bones, and they can't really treat us as fat. ”

Huo Bao said directly to Shui Jin: "Just in case, it's better to be on guard." ”

Shui Jin thought for a while and said, "The mule cart should also be loaded, and it will be caught off guard after the province." ”

Huo Bao said: "The archers are on duty at the front, and the others can nap in their clothes." If the county soldiers really come, most of them will have to be after the third watch. ”

"You can't sit still, whether it's a county soldier or a government officer, there is always a nest, and someone should be sent to keep an eye on it." Water access channels.

When the two of them said this, they both looked at Xue Xiao.

Xue Xiao's vision is not long-term, but in this unfamiliar place, everyone is counting on those ten familiar guys.

"Brother Xiao, I'm tired of asking two guys who know the way to Changning to lead the way, and arrange for a few people to go to the county military camp and the county ya." Huo Bao Dao.

"This ...... It's too worrying! Xue Xiao disagreed: "This road is used to the grain shop, even this foot shop also has a backstage, it's okay." ”

Huo Bao looked at Xue Xiao and did not speak.

On this trip, Huo Bao was the main one, and Xue Xiao and Shui Jin were both helpers.

Xue Xiao was stunned and touched his nose: "Just stare at it, there's really no need to be so troublesome!" He muttered that he had called the two guys over.

Huo Bao personally selected a few people and went out with the two guys.

There were more than 100 people left, ten archers were on duty at the front, and the rest rested after loading.

Swords, guns, bows and arrows, which had been hidden under the mule cart before, were now all taken out and divided.

There was no need for many commands, but as soon as this weapon came, the soldiers knew to be on guard.

It was inconvenient to carry a spear in Shuijin, so Huo Bao gave him an idea, a two-stage gun barrel, which was disassembled in two when not in use, and screwed into one place when used.

Shui Jin twisted the spear and pulled a spear flower in his hand.

Huo Bao took out the purple gold mace and dismantled the wrapping cloth.

Xue Xiao stood beside him, looking at the appearance of the two of them, a little more uncomfortable.

It's okay to have a false alarm, but if Huo Bao and Shui are really fed into the material, it will seem that he is short-sighted.

If the county soldiers really came......

Xue Xiao couldn't help but look north.

This foot shop has a back door, and the grain cart is cumbersome, so why should you stick to it?

These two people, are they dead-eyed?

The sound of bangzi came from afar, three sounds, three watches.

The sound of hurried footsteps was the return of the child soldiers who had gone out to stare at the county government before.

"Bao Ye, many people from the county government have gone to the county barracks."

As soon as I replied, there was movement outside.

Everyone turned out and hid in the dark.

"Boss, this is the foot shop!"

"There are some of the main people in this business......

"Staring is the Lord's thin business!"

Hearing Suosuo's voice, everyone raised their weapons in their hands.

I thought it was arson, but I didn't expect the other party to be "murderous".

The black thing was pushed down the wall and fell to the ground with a "pop".

"This old man has a fast mouth, it's cheap for him to die like this, if he hadn't talked a lot, he wouldn't have left empty."

"It is his blessing to help our brother make a windfall when he dies."

"That's it? Are they more than a hundred guys? ”

"No matter how many guys have to shrink, they dare to kill officials and rebel!"

Others didn't know why, but Huo Bao and the three of them understood.

The corpse that they pushed from the top of the wall was either a bystander or the old man who sold sugar paintings during the day.

These beggars colluded with the county government to ask everyone about the "crime of murder".

Huo Bao was angry, how innocent was that old man?

These beggars talk about human life being so sparse and ordinary, and most of them have human lives in their hands, so they have no fear of killing.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters, it is not easy for small people, but these people in front of them are no longer small people who need mercy, but out-and-out murderers.

"Why haven't the county soldiers come yet?"

"Urgently, I said that the fourth watch was good."

It was quiet for a while, and there was humanity outside.

It's not the murderers outside who are impatient, but also Huo Bao.

"Don't let any of them go!" Huo Bao whispered to the archers.

It is now late May, and the moon comes out in the middle of the night, and now it is the moon that is half pulled in the sky, and the clear light is sprinkled on the world.

In the dark, there was no cover at the door of the foot shop, and a few beggars fell into everyone's eyes.

"Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh", a round of bows and arrows down, it is a wail.

"Ahh

"Run!"

Someone really ran out all of a sudden, and then "poof" fell to the ground and was beaten down by Huo Bao's flying hammer.

There were five or six beggars in all, and before they could make a noise, twenty came out with broadswords.

There is no need to backhand, only one round down, and several beggars are chopped to death.

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

The inn next to it heard the movement outside, there was a light on the second floor, I don't know what I heard, or what I saw, and immediately turned off the lights.

In the courtyard of the foot shop, it has been lit.

There was a corpse lying under the base of the wall, the body temperature was still warm, and there was a lot of blood on the ground on the wall, which should have died before being pushed over.

It is the kind-hearted, chatty sugar painting old man.

The sound of "clicking" footsteps came from far and near.

Xue Xiao's face turned pale, and his body began to tremble.

Isn't this Huainan, do you really want to kill officers and soldiers?
