In the yamen, the old monk first read the case file, and then asked the officials who were familiar with the hometown, and already knew the origin of the Huo and Chen families' rivalry for water.

Yesterday's cause and today's effect, both of them are wrong.

It's just that everyone has preferences, and Second Master Huo can see that Chen Juren is quite kind, how can the old monk not see it?

What he meant was that the two families were reconciled, so he took the case file to Huo Wu to discuss.

After knowing that Huo Wu went to the Huo family, the old monk disagreed: "The clan is a help and a resistance, if Huo County Lieutenant wants to gain a foothold on the riverside, he can't condone the Huo family!" ”

Xue Biao persuaded: "Don't worry, my lord, the fifth brother knows in his heart and will not condone his relatives!" ”

The fifth brother has a rebellious temperament, even if he is his own uncle, he must first see if the other party is interested or not, naturally it is a way to treat it with interest, and it is not interesting to treat it without interest.

As long as Huo Bao is not in Binjiang, he is the closest person to the fifth brother.

Xue Biao was thinking about it, and the colt hurried over.

"Uncle Seven, my lord!" The foal bowed in salute.

"The foal is coming!" Xue Biao had love on his face.

The old monk looked at the foal's nondescript dress, shook his head, got up and left.

"Uncle Seven, Xiaobao is here? I heard about the ...... That Huo Er also came...... "The foal is a little stiff.

Well? That's right!

Even if Huo Bao didn't stay in Binjiang, Huo Wu brought his cousin back.

Xue Biao's face remained unchanged, and he had already begun to calculate in his heart.

This Huo Shun wants to stay in Binjiang?

Is it to find a way to get out, or to put it in a vacant position?

"Uncle Seven?" When the foal saw that he was silent, he barked.

"I'm here, I'm ......wounded," Xue Biao said casually.

"Is that the old man of the Huo family also coming? I heard that there are tiger brothers over there? ”

"Probably yes, we have to be reunited!"

Xue Biao looked at the colt and smiled.

The foal laughed twice and said, "This is a good thing, a good thing!" Wubo asked someone to repair the Jiangbei wharf, which was cheap to travel backwards. ”

Boat?

Xue Biao's heart trembled, his face remained unchanged, and he said, "Worried about the tiger again?" Don't worry, your fifth uncle is so kind, even if a new nephew comes, he won't let the tiger make room. ”

"Uncle Seven laughed! Where would the niece think about this? ”

Thinking that although Ma Lao Liu was not close to him, he did not pursue his instigation of Du Laoba's betrayal, Xue Biao kindly mentioned: "It's good not to think about it, be relaxed, don't just stare at the one acre and three points of land in front of you!" Your father handed you over to your fifth uncle, can your father pit you, or can your fifth uncle pit you? ”

Ma Zizi smiled: "My niece is not promising, let the seventh uncle worry about it!" Isn't that scared? The first five uncles went south with the seventh uncle, and they didn't inform their niece, and the niece was really worried that she couldn't look at this one-third of an acre! ”

"Is this annoying?"

"How dare my niece? The niece is afraid that she will be disgusted by the elders because she has shortcomings! The foal smiled bitterly.

Now there are 2,000 soldiers and horses, and 600 county soldiers, all of whom are nominally under the command of Ma Juzi, but in fact, she is only really in charge of Huo Hu's song.

Binjiang's 600 county soldiers have not yet been placed. In addition, a notice has been posted that the county soldiers will recruit another 400 soldiers.

So as soon as he heard that someone from the Huo family was coming again, the colt couldn't sit still.

If these thousand county soldiers are handed over to the children of the Huo family, the foals will be set aside.

Xue Biao persuaded: "If there is a deficiency to make up, your fifth uncle watched you grow up, and he can still deal with you!" ”

Although Xue Biao said in his heart that Huo Wuqi would value his adopted son Xue Xiao, he also knew that the foal was different.

The uncle and nephew were talking, and Huo Wuyi and his party arrived.

Xue Biao and Ma Juzi all stood up to greet each other.

"Have you seen the Lord?" Xue Biao said.

"Well, it's really my uncle and grandfather!" Huo Wudao.

"The case of the water cut?"

"Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao, let the boss deal with it according to the law!"

Seeing that Huo Wu was in a bad mood, Xue Biao changed the topic and asked Huo Baolai: "Xiaobao, when are you going to Jinling?" ”

"I can't wait for food, I'll go tomorrow! Seventh Uncle, here for grain and iron, I have to rely on Uncle Seven to help me! ”

Xue Biao had already prepared, although he was still distressed, he also responded happily.

When it was only the father and son, Huo Wu's expression was still ugly.

"Dad, if it really doesn't work, discuss with your great-uncle and grandfather, and increase your great-grandfather's age to five years!" Huo Bao persuaded.

In this way, the age difference between Mrs. Huo and his eldest son is from ten to fifteen years old, which is reasonable.

Huo Wu grabbed his son's arm: "Master...... It was a fake death ......"

"Huh?"

"The old man looks very similar to the second master's eyebrows...... Old man, it's the master! ”

“……”

It took Huo Bao a while to realize who this "old man" was.

No wonder Huo Wu knelt so happily when he saw Second Master Huo, Huo Wu left his hometown in his fifties, and only came back when he was about to leave, and he should have followed the "old man" in the middle.

"That grandfather ...... now"

"Dad was watching the old man be buried, but he could fake his death once, and he could fake his death a second time. In the end, it is a real death and a fake death, I can only ask your ninth uncle, your ninth uncle pretended to bury the old man back then! ”

Huo Wu's face seemed to be happy and resentful, very complicated, and he muttered, "What does the old man want to do?" ”

Huo Bao inexplicably thought of two words, "rebellion".

Mrs. Huo is the nephew of the fifth marshal, and grew up with the fifth marshal, the two are both uncles and nephews, and they are also masters and apprentices, so it is not impossible if they have the idea of avenging the fifth marshal.

Seventy years have passed since the martyrdom of the fifth marshal, is it too long?

Huo Bao remembered the conversation between Huo Wu and Xue Biao at the Sifang Inn, what kind of island is that "island"?

Small island or big island?

If there is a real rebellion, then the "island" is the base? Or is there another lair?

A clever person has more than one plan?

Hey?

Ma Laoliu is in Black Python Mountain, Xue Biao is in Jinling, and Du Laoba is in Songjiang, which are also three caves.

Black Python Mountain is in the hinterland of Huainan and can hide soldiers; Jinling is a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, with goods in all directions; Songjiang is near the sea, and it is the place where my father mentioned going to sea.

Huo Bao's mind gradually became clear, and this seemed to be really a big game of chess.

But in this chessboard, there is no father.

"Dad, when you were separated from a few uncles, you didn't think about coming out again?"

"Guarding you, how do you get out? I thought I'd wait for you to become a Ding and then take you to meet them! Huo Wu sighed: "This is also the old man's explanation, 'there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great', and bloodline inheritance is the most important thing...... Dad doesn't take it seriously, but when you really land and hold you, Dad feels that this life is worth it......"

"We attach importance to the inheritance of bloodline...... Why did you get married so late? ”

Huo Wu has been wandering outside for many years, and he will return to his hometown to become his own son when he is about to become a child, which is not too early.

“……”

Huo Wu didn't move, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

Huo Bao's eyes widened: "Dad has been married outside?" ”

"Nope! No! Huo Wu hurriedly waved his hand: "What did you say?" Your mother is my original wife! ”

"Have you taken a concubine?"

"Huh!"

Huo Wu touched his chin, feeling a little weak.

"To have children?"

"My son is smart, it was all arranged by the old man, in order to have children, he took a few concubines, but there was no fart, and they were all sent away!"

"Why did Dad go back to Nanshan Village?"

"The old man had calculated with someone earlier, saying that the Quartet was not good for the heirs, and only by returning to his hometown could there be a glimmer of possibility......"

Huo Bao was silent.

If Huo Wu is the son of Mrs. Huo, it makes sense that Mrs. Huo attaches so much importance to the inheritance of blood.

But the Huo family still has the second master Huo, and the bloodline inheritance is so important, right?

The relationship is chaotic and the skull hurts.

Seeing this, Huo Wu hurriedly said: "I have already sent a letter to your ninth uncle, I can't say that he will come in a few days, and then the master will know whether he is alive or dead......
