Coming out of Huo Hong's house, Shui Jin's face was still red, and he was helped on the horse by his own soldiers, but he held the osmanthus basket tightly in his hand and did not spread it.

With such a foolish appearance, where is the might of a young general?

Huo Hong brought his children and grandchildren to the door, Huo Bao bowed goodbye and got on the horse.

Seeing the group leave, Huo Hong took his children and grandchildren and turned around and entered the door.

When the door was closed, he glared at his children and grandchildren.

Horry's face was uneasy, his eyes flickering, and he didn't dare to look at his grandfather.

He was enlightened at a few years old, and he was a son of Confucianism, so he knew that there was something wrong with his actions today, and his heart was very weak.

Huo Bai looked directly at the old father, and looked confident.

Huo Hong couldn't help but be angry.

I can't bear to blame my grandson, but I can't bear to give up my son?

He didn't spare any strength and kicked his son hard.

Huo Bai didn't avoid it, he was born, and he was kicked and inhaled.

Huo Rui's face turned pale, and he hurriedly stopped in front of his uncle and said, "Grandpa, don't blame the second uncle, it's the grandson's fault, the grandson shouldn't tell the aunt what happened ahead......"

Huo Hong saw that he was frightened by his grandson, his expression softened slightly, and he waved his hand and said, "It's your second uncle who is a bastard, and he won't do your business!" ”

Huo Bai said earnestly: "Could it be that in my father's eyes, my son is a villain who dedicates his sister to glory?" If it's a peaceful year, I'm willing to find a good family for my sister, and the husband and wife will be harmonious...... Now it is a troubled time, and it is not when it will be peaceful...... If something really happens, a scholar who is powerless can't even protect himself, and how can he protect his wife and children......"

Huo Hong glared: "Sophistry! With Brother Taiwei, do you still need to worry about this? ”

Huo Bai was surprised: "Isn't it that my father teaches his son when he is young, and he can't expect others to stand up by himself in case of trouble?" It's true that Taiwei is a brother of the clan, but we can't expect Taiweifu for everything! Not only my sister, but also my niece after two years, my son also wanted to give her this general who stood up, not a Confucian who was not used in troubled times. ”

Huo Rui's eyes were shining, and he nodded, obviously agreeing with the second uncle's theory.

Huo Hong snorted softly and threw his sleeves away.

……

It wasn't until he was far away from Huo's house that Huo Bao glared at Shui Jin and said, "It's time to sober up, right?" ”

Shui Jin brought the osmanthus basket in front of him, hugged it as if it was a big baby, and couldn't fall half of it, and said with a smile: "I will ask you to look at Jianglou when I go back, let's eat the best banquet noodles, which is better than ninety-nine seats!" ”

Huo Bao snorted lightly: "What's wrong with the back, why don't you keep being a gentleman?" ”

He used to care about it, but then he also pondered it.

Poor and rich in martial arts, it is true to say that Shui entered the peasant family, but when did he learn this marksmanship?

Even if you don't need money to learn martial arts, you still need strength.

Do you really want to be reduced to a bite of rice from the east and a bite from the west, can you learn marksmanship well, and can you grow into this tall man?

The words of the water into those prodigal children were also aware of Huo Hong's pickiness and contempt, and they did it deliberately.

Shui Jin listened to it, and also regretted it: "Isn't that the first Master Hong looked down on people and didn't hold back his mouth for a while?" ”

Huo Bao no longer hurt him, although the atmosphere turned around after this blind date, he still said it in his head, "Anyway, this is a look, it is possible to see each other in the phase, if the Huo family is not happy, forget it." ”

Shui Jin blinked and nodded, "That's natural...... No matter how good a girl is, there is no reason to marry by force......"

Huo Bao couldn't help but look sideways, did he think of "forced marriage"?

Shui Jin "hehe" smiled, his eyes fell on the osmanthus basket, and his expression was very rippling.

Huo Bao looked up at the sky, this is the alternation of autumn and winter, not spring, right?

When he arrived at Taiwei's Mansion, Shui Jin's mind finally cleared up, and he personally helped Huo Bao to dismount, and prayed in a low voice: "Xiaobao, it's all my brother, my mouth is indebted for a while, and the fifth master asked, so you don't have to learn so carefully, right?" ”

Huo Bao raised his chin: "Brother Shui, this is begging me?" White teeth? ”

This family business is a beautiful thing for Shui Jin, but is it for Huo Bao?

Shui Jin's generation went up, and the eldest brother became an uncle.

Shui Jin hurriedly said, flattering: "Who is with whom of our brothers, each has its own opinion, and we will also discuss our own ...... in the future."

Huo Bao snorted lightly.

Shui Jin is commensurate with the three brothers, but they are just friends, and Huo Bao can talk about each other.

If you really marry Huo Chun and have separate discussions with Huo Bao, it will be a joke.

Huo Bao was very bad, and when he saw the water entering the basket of osmanthus flowers in the baby, he took advantage of his inattention and snatched it over: "It's rare that there are osmanthus flowers at this time...... This is my ......."

Shui Jin was defenseless for a while, lost the basket, and said distressedly: "Lightly carry it, free up the osmanthus flowers, remember to give me the basket!" ”

Huo Bao was surprised, and took a closer look at the basket.

Six or seven inches square, fine bamboo, the front is also embedded with a swastika pattern, quite exquisite.

"Auntie made it up?"

"Hmm!"

Shui Jin and Yourong said: "How can others have such skillful hands!" ”

Huo Bao looked at Shui Jin and said: "Uncle Clan's family cultivates and reads heirlooms, and now he is teaching in Jinling Academy, his eyes are full of Confucian students, and he can't be more willing to choose a son-in-law among the students!" ”

Shui Jin raised his eyebrows and said: "In this world, where is there anyone who has ever been a father and mother?" ”

He obviously also understood Huo Chun's intention to appear, as well as the softening of Huo Bai's attitude.

Looking at his face full of spring, his body is about to float.

Huo Bao was too lazy to take care of him.

As soon as the two of them entered the Taiwei Mansion, they saw Niu Qing coming over: "Brother Shui, Xiaobao, go to the main hall quickly, the fifth master is looking for it!" ”

Wubentang, that is, the second entrance hall of the Taiwei Mansion, the hanging plaque with the three characters of the Wubentang written on it, is the Taiwei Mansion Middle Hall.

Huo Bao and Shui Jin glanced at each other, both a little inexplicable.

"Is there movement in the direction of Yangzhou?" Mizujin thought of this.

"Is there any news from Qi Chun?" Huo Bao thought about it.

"It's neither, it's Lingshui news...... Marshal Liu was gone yesterday, and the fifth uncle discussed the funeral with everyone......"

Huo Bao and Shui Jin's faces were solemn, and they all stepped up.

……

In the main hall.

Only Huo Wu, Deng Jian, Ma Zhai Master, and Master Lin were there.

Xue Biao went out to the banquet, Du Laoba was in the Jinling camp, and Monk Feng went to the ancient temple of Jilong Mountain early in the morning to participate in Zen.

Huo Wu sighed: "Hey, I really didn't expect it! ”

Marshal Liu is over half a hundred years old, not young, but the last time he looked thin and thin, there was no sign of death.

Now it's only half a month's work, and if you don't say it, you don't have it.

However, since his brother-in-law has a very long life, then Marshal Liu really can't live long, otherwise the Bozhou army will be divided like this, and its strength will be limited, and it will be difficult to develop.

Huo Wu's mood was very complicated, but he didn't know whether to rejoice for the third apprentice, or if he began to be jealous of his brother-in-law.

Deng Jian was eager to try: "Isn't it time to collect the water?" ”

It's only been three days off, and he's idle and moldy.

The owner of the horse village shook his head and said, "At this time, it's not good to mention this matter!" ”

Marshal Liu died of illness, and the head of the Bozhou army was Tu San.

Even if Lingshui is in Chuzhou, it can be said that it is occupied by Bozhou Military County at first.

It is okay for the Chuzhou army to negotiate this matter with Marshal Liu, but it is not easy to negotiate with Tusan, and it is unreasonable to ask for it directly.

If you send troops to rob it, it will be a county, and it will not be worth it if you break the relationship between the three disciples.

Master Lin touched his beard and said, "The first Jiang Ping went to Bozhou to ask for a title for the Bozhou army from the little sect leader...... Liu Er is the left deputy marshal, and the third apprentice is the right deputy marshal...... Marshal Liu passed away, Liu Er is famous, the third master has strength, and I am afraid that there will be chaos within the Bozhou army......"

Huo Wu immediately said: "Then we can't sit idly by, we can't let San'er suffer!" ”

If it is for the future development of the Chuzhou Army, it is naturally better for the new marshal of the Bozhou Army to be Liu Er.

However, the white shirts of Henan Province are a plate of loose sand, and they have been wiped out by the imperial court one after another.

If the Bozhou army is vulnerable, then it is the Chuzhou army that directly faces the imperial court.

In order to stabilize this northern barrier, it can only be a three-handed army.

Master Lin also nodded and said, "Yes, the fifth master and the third apprentice are watching and helping each other, it's not good to stand by at this time!" ”

Running for mourning is to run, and "cheering" is to help.

Now everyone is discussing who will lead the team to the sacrifice and how many people and horses will be brought over.

The owner of the horse village looked at the three of them and said, "I'll take a trip!" ”

Huo Wu's identity is here, and it is not appropriate to move lightly.

Deng Jian did not have a deep friendship with Tu Wu.

The owner of the horse village is the No. 3 person in the Chuzhou Army, and he has a friendly relationship with the three disciples, and he came forward to mourn, and the weight is not light.

Huo Wu shook his head and said: "It's better for me to go in person, the last time Tang Guang was after, Marshal Liu and San'er were all in person, and now it's not good for me to hide behind!" ”

Master Lin said: "Jinling is decided, and the fifth master is still needed...... Xiaobao came forward, which is enough to represent the fifth master, or let the sixth master take Xiaobao away...... The third master has no children, and he must be willing to see his nephew more often......"

The third disciple led the Bozhou army, and the heir was about to be mentioned. At this time, Huo Bao should show his face.

Huo Wu was silent.

Huo Bao and Shui came in and listened to the last two sentences.

Huo Bao immediately said: "Mr. is right, my father is still staying in Jinling, and my son will go to Lingshui!" ”

Shui Jin also said: "Fifth Master, I will escort the Sixth Master and Xiaobao over!" ”

Everyone had no objections, and the candidates for the funeral in Lingshui were drafted Huo Bao, the owner of the horse village, and Shui Jin.

"There are 10,000 people and horses in Lingshui, and there are 4,000 troops in Lingshui...... There are 8,000 apprentices in Chuzhou, and 8,000 new soldiers in Chuzhou...... How many people are we going to bring here? "Shui Jin is also full of fighting spirit.

Huo Wu said with a smile: "What are you doing with all this, and you still want to fight the Bozhou army?" We're here to help, just make a show and shout a few times! If you really want to pull 20,000 or 30,000 horses over, you will be in a hurry! ”

Shui Jin said: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what happens, it's always good to be proper and thoughtful!" ”

Huo Wu heard this, but he couldn't help but hesitate.

Liu Er's kid is in the dark, Huo Bao, Ma Zhai Master, and Shui Jin are all missing.

Seeing this, the owner of the horse village hurriedly persuaded: "It's not yet this point!" We can enter the city after the third master of the apprentice is mourned, 3,000 people and horses are enough, no matter how easy it is to misunderstand! ”

Half a month ago, Marshal Liu and his son-in-law went to Chuzhou for funeral, each with a thousand soldiers.

They all have the courage to go to Chuzhou, why doesn't the Chuzhou army have the courage to go to Lingshui?

Huo Wu was not at ease, and said directly: "Add another three thousand, isn't it to cheer?" There are fewer people, and it doesn't look like it! ”

Six thousand elite soldiers, even if there is an accident, can escort a few people to exit.

Huo Bao knew his father's concerns, but he felt too worried.

Even if the Bozhou Army is a tiger's den in Longtan, it is too peaceful at the moment.

The Bozhou army is a situation where two tigers are contending, but the Chuzhou army has already sat firmly in Jinling, and it is too late for the two forces to win over the Chuzhou army.
