Chapter 81: Faith

Huo Bao calculated the time in his heart, today is May 29, Changning County to Jinling eighty miles, get up early and catch up late, tomorrow night can cross the river to the north.

The granary of Binjiang County needs to be asked, and the child soldiers in Quyang County can't really let go.

It's a really tight time.

The mule carts were all vacant, Xue Xiao was interested, chose one to go over, and left the carriage to Huo Bao and Shui Jin.

Huo Bao was tired for a long time, and got into the carriage and fell asleep.

The water is tossing and turning, sometimes sighing.

Huo Bao only felt irritable and rolled over and sat up.

"It's been the third watch, why don't you sigh when Brother Shui doesn't sleep?"

"Before, Marshal Liu told the third brother to set the days before and after the Double Ninth Festival, why did he advance it?"

"It should be that the third uncle is moving too much, and Marshal Liu is not at ease."

Marshal Liu himself ruled Bozhou with four people, claiming to be tens of thousands of horses, but in fact the army was only 8,000, which was not superior. It's just because of his reputation as the head of Huainan Taoism and his reputation is supported by the instructors.

Disciple San occupied Chuzhou by himself, and before that, he had 17,000 soldiers and horses, and he collected Chuzhou soldiers, adding up to 20,000 soldiers and horses.

There are also Quyang and Binjiang counties, all of whom are relatives and friends of Tusan.

Marshal Liu originally regarded his hometown of Chuzhou as his back road, but now it has become a turf for three people.

The one who is worried about this family affair is not the third apprentice, but Marshal Liu, and it is not uncommon for the day of marriage to be advanced.

Shui Jin is a confidant, and after the "conscription turmoil" in April, he worried: "It's okay if you really want to marry a girl, I'm afraid it's a Hongmen banquet!" Marshal Liu is a good person, but Uncle Liu and Second Master Liu are both petty and intolerable, and the eldest lady is from Marshal Liu's second wife, so she is ......different from the two of them."

"Those two people have high eyes and want to marry several marshals in Bozhou. Among them, Sun Shuai, who has the most soldiers and horses, is a widower, and it is this person that their brothers have their eyes on. Sun Shuai is almost forty years old, with a violent temperament, and has married two wives, all of which are gone, and there are rumors that he was beaten to death. The second lady only has an only daughter of the eldest lady and refuses to marry, so she urges Marshal Liu to choose a son-in-law under her command......"

"The third brother was the head of Marshal Liu's personal army at that time, and was selected by Marshal Liu to marry...... Listening to Brother Jiang, during those days, those two guys bullied the third brother a lot because they were dissatisfied with their relatives. The third brother has been evading, and when he heard that Marshal Liu was going to send someone back to his hometown to recruit troops, he asked for orders to go south......"

"The third brother is very popular, he went back to Qubei and directly recruited 800 young people, and he provoked people's eyes, I don't know how those two guys put their tongues in front of Marshal Liu, forcing the third brother to gain a foothold in Bozhou, so he can only go south again, fortunately, I met you and the fifth master, so I really have relatives......"

The water is chattering, and the words are very uneven.

Hobb's focus is different.

"The eldest lady is Marshal Liu's daughter? Not an adopted daughter? ”

"It's the eldest daughter, I heard that she was by Mrs. Han's side before, and she was raised in front of Mrs. Han when she was a little older, and she was treated like the second lady."

"The second lady is also the daughter of the Han family? Is the commander of Lingshui County closer to this second lady? ”

"Huh? Let Xiaobao speak! Commander Han is the brother of the second lady and the second room of the Han family, and Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu are the late Mrs. Han. ”

This family is divided into several groups, and it is strange that it is not chaotic.

"Don't worry, it won't be a Hongmen banquet, I can't say that Marshal Liu wants to value the third uncle!"

"Xiaobao hasn't been to Bozhou again, how can you guess?"

"Whether it is the Han family's big house or the second room, it is Marshal Liu's uncle's house, Marshal Liu let Han lead the south to run Lingshui, obviously trusting and relying on this cousin...... 'One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, unless one male and one female', Marshal Liu is famous, Marshal Sun is powerful, estimate the face of the two, and oppose each other in private, otherwise Marshal Liu will not think of the retreat of the business...... Liu Da and Liu Er are worried about forming an alliance with their opponents, even if they are their own sons, they are also taboo. In order to discipline and control his son, Marshal Liu can only carry the third uncle out! ”

“……”

"Poof", Shui Jin lay down honestly: "It's all for you to say, it's not a Hongmen banquet, I'm waiting to eat and drink......"

This reassurance, it takes a moment to start snoring.

Huo Bao was so agitated that he lost his sleepiness and got out of the carriage.

Next to the carriage, Huo Bao sat in his clothes and acted as a guard.

"Why don't you stop? Didn't you arrange someone to be on duty at night? ”

"In the end, it's outside, my nephew is not at ease."

"Is the grain lucky?"

"I'm lucky, Binjiang is fine, Quyang is about to run out of food...... Half of it was transported to the county barracks, and half was transported to the county government, and Uncle Cousin directly assigned half of the alley next to the county barracks to us. In addition, the Jinling official warehouse is urging transportation, and our transportation capacity is insufficient, so we let Niu Gang stare at the first transportation to the Xue family's warehouse......"

"It's only been a few days, and it's been hard work."

"People are siblings, and they are guarding their homes, where is it hard? Uncle Bao is really hard to run around. ”

"The Jinling Prefect's Yamen is being stared at?"

"I stared at it, and I also asked someone to inquire privately, and the prefect's yamen sent things to the political envoy's yamen every ten days, and there were officials to escort them. The political envoy's yamen is in the east of the city, and the prefect's yamen is in the west of the city, and the two places are separated by eight miles, and they just pass through that gap in the middle. When he said the last sentence, Huo Bao lowered his voice.

Obviously, he understood Huo Bao's intentions and was prepared.

Huo Bao was very satisfied, remembered Shi San, who was specially left, and said: "The bow team is not outstanding on the other side, but I met a kid on the road, who is a little accurate, and looks similar to you." Look back and be careful, and use it if you can. There are a lot of trivial things on the archers' side, so you can't keep an eye on everything. ”

Shi San was carrying a bow and arrow on his back, as early as in Huo Bao's eyes.

Huo Bao said with a little excitement: "My nephew tried him last night, but he is much better than my nephew." I asked, he learned the bow and arrow from a veteran, no wonder he was better than his nephew. Look back at his character, if he can use it, he can add it to his use. ”

"Li Yuan is also good, you can bring it up to be an assistant to Xiao Er." Huo Bao Dao.

In fact, what the Scout lacks is a candidate for the captain of the scout team, but the captain of the scout team is prone to encounters because he has to lead his men to detect the enemy's situation, and in addition to being careful, he also needs bravery.

Li Yuan is good at logistics, but his force value is a shortcoming.

"Uncle Bao used Li Yuan, what about Gao Yue?"

Gao Yue was involved in the church before, but there was a cause, and he was Zhang Qianhu's nephew, since the child soldier took over, it was not good to treat him and Li Yuan favorably.

"The heart is quite right, but the temperament is too honest, a little less bloody!" Huo Bao frowned: "Didn't you say that you went to a private school to be literate?" Then be in charge of Scout culture and education, and be a literacy instructor. ”

While the uncle and nephew were talking, they saw a lot of birds startled in the distance.

Both uncle and nephew stood up.

"It's on fire!" Huo Bao pointed to the road ahead.

The night is thick, the fire is soaring, and it should not be far away.

Everyone on duty at night was alarmed, and they were on guard with Huo Bao's uncle and nephew as the center.

"The fire is not small, call everyone up!" Huo Bao commanded, and he also got into the car to summon the water in.

Xue Xiao also got up, looked at the fire in the distance and said worriedly: "Is it the exile people entering the village?" ”

Huo Bao remembered the despair and grief when the rout army entered the village, and his face was cold: "Just go and see!" ”

When Xue Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but be anxious, and his heart exploded.

What do you want to do with a few handfuls?

When encountering this kind of thing, don't you avoid it, where is there to move forward?

Huo Bao didn't wait for Xue Xiao to speak, and said directly to Huo Bao: "Order ten people to stay with Uncle Xue, and the others will follow me!" "With that, he was already one step ahead and went to the burning place.

Shui Jin picked up the gun and followed, Shi San swallowed a mouthful of spit, and also embellished it.

It was estimated that there was a distance of about a mile, and Huo Bao arrived at the fire point after a while, but he was relieved.

It's not a village, it's a land temple.

The fire was burning at the entrance of the land temple, and a person held a torch, looked at the land temple, and said: "King Kong came to the world, and the world is peaceful!" ”

The figure was familiar, and the voice stopped.

"Song Xianggong?!"

The man was called out before turning back.

"Why did Song Xianggong get out of the city?"

This is a poor man, and his mind is not clear, Huo Bao slowed down.

"Ahh

"Save ......"

There were voices in the Land Temple, and Huo Bao's face changed greatly: "Song Xianggong, what are you doing?" ”

"They're false cultists, they killed Sugar Man Lee!"

“……”

"King Kong descends into the world, and the world is peaceful!"

“……”

The cry for help in the land temple gradually stopped, and Song Xiucai had a smile on his face, and he looked no different from ordinary people under the light of the fire.

"Since Song Xianggong believes in Maitreya Buddha, he should know the 'five precepts'." Huo Bao frowned and persuaded.

The real murderer who killed the sugar man Li was ordered by Huo Bao to be killed, and he was already dead, and Song Xiucai's conviction of the beggars in the Land Temple was not established at all.

Huo Bao feels a headache, mentally ill and kills people, do you say you're afraid?

Not for fear of death, but for fear that he had harmed innocent people.

Song Xiucai said with a straight face: "Just this time, just this time!" ”

“……”

Huo Bao reacted that this was wrong, and stepped forward quickly, but it was a step too late.

In the raging fire, Song Xiucai chuckled and said, "I'm going to urge the Buddha, it's time to come into the world!" ”
