Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Show of "Protecting the Short".

Deng Jian came faster than expected.

Everyone here was welcomed into the Sifang Inn by Master Deng, and the guests and hosts greeted each other, but after a cup of tea, Deng Jian had already strode into the lobby.

Deng Jianwei is flourishing, with a bit of a murderous atmosphere.

Who would have thought that this person was still an ordinary headhunter two months ago.

And they all stood up.

Don't look at Deng Jian's "improper name and bad words" to lead the county lieutenant, but he is actually the owner of Quyang.

Looking at half of the room, Deng Jian was a little surprised, obviously he didn't expect so many people to come.

"This ...... It's the cousin of the Deng family...... I'm Xiaobao's father......" Huo Wu was a little excited and got up to face him.

Deng Jian hugged his fists and said, "Cousin Huo! ”

There must be another round of "confession".

Old Man Deng took his men down and arranged the banquet.

Deng Jian paid attention to Huo Wu and Tu San's actions, and was also slightly close to Du Laoba and Xue Biao.

Next, the table was set up, the wind and the dust were washed, it was lively, and in short, there was no serious conversation.

Xiuxiu, as the little host, also has the task of entertaining, and is responsible for the guests at the table of the younger generation.

In addition to Huo Bao and Huo Bao's uncles and nephews who knew each other before, Xiuxiu was closer to Huo Hu and Ma Juzi, and was just polite to Niu Qing, Xue Xiao, and Lin Jin.

In the little girl's heart, distant relatives are close and close, and they are arranged according to their blood relationship.

Huo Bao is a cousin, and the relationship is naturally the closest, followed by the two cousins of Haw Par, the cousin and daughter-in-law of Ma Juzi, who has not passed the door, and the cousin of Niu Qing, the cousin of the cousin's family, is the cousin again, and the two cheap apprentices of the cousin are naturally the farthest away.

Niu Qing just made up the numbers, and no one mentioned anything about marriage with him; Lin Jin and Xue Biao were advised by their elders.

The two of them also cleaned up neatly, whether they were willing or not, but my fair lady and gentleman were good, and they all had some expectations.

When they saw the little girl with her hair combed, the two teenagers were discouraged.

Xiuxiu looked at the appearance of a little adult, behaved neatly, but her stature was not high, with a bun face and a small milk voice, she didn't look like she was ten years old, but like she was seven or eight years old.

If you really have thoughts about such a child, is it still human?

The elders "hate to see each other late", push the cup and change the lamp, and the table on the younger generation looks colder.

Ma Juzi was the only woman, sitting next to Xiuxiu, and her words were full of enthusiasm: "The Tiger Brothers' relatives before were only the five uncles and Bao brothers, and now there are more cousins and little cousins, which are the blessings of the two brothers." ”

Xiuxiu felt that this string of titles was weird, but this was a cousin and daughter-in-law who had never passed the door, and there was no unified honorific title for a while, and there was nothing about the seniority, so she was really like an elder, and took out three purses: "I saw my cousin and nephew in a hurry last time, let's make up for it today." This sentence is said to Huo Bao, and the purse is a gift to the tiger and leopard brothers and the foal.

The colt pulled Huo Hu up, and Huo Bao also followed, just like facing the elder, respectfully accepting it.

Huo Bao was beaten by Huo Baoxun last night, and he died of the idea of marrying his cousin, but he was also willing to be close to the father and daughter of the Deng family, Huo and Deng are cousins, far closer than outsiders.

Xiuxiu looked at the horse foal's outfit, but was a little curious: "You are your cousin's senior sister, so are you more powerful than your cousin?" ”

"Brother Bao, that is a natural divine power, how can ordinary people compare? What I learned with Wubo was the method of marching and arranging formations, not fists and feet. Ma Juzi said with a smile: "Otherwise, the blood relationship can't be faked, although our tiger is not as good as the Bao brothers, but it has also passed on the strength of the Huo family, which is much stronger than ordinary people." Before, I was just playing around with sticks and learning some simple moves, but now that I have met my cousin, it would be nice if I could learn a thing or two from my cousin's side. ”

Xiuxiu smiled, looked at the tea cup in her hand, and didn't answer the colt's words.

Regardless of whether the colt wanted to show Huo Hu's strength or something else, the little girl didn't give her room to play.

Ma Zizi's expression remained unchanged, but Huo Bao frowned when he heard it.

Before, when he heard his future sister-in-law say something about wanting his brother to learn on the road, Huo Bao didn't think much about it.

Uncle Xiaobao also uses a mace, but he sees that he practices on weekdays, and no one teaches him, just figuring out his own moves.

Ma Juzi was too enthusiastic about Xiuxiu, and what he did was not like what he said in the carriage and asked Uncle Xiaobao to help him, as if he was leaving Uncle Xiaobao and Xiuxiu alone.

What exactly does the foal want to do?

Or is the owner of the horse village calculating?

Huo Bao immediately woke up a little, it was Lin Jin, Xue Xiao and others who were on guard before, but now it is this future sister-in-law who is afraid of her.

Huo Bao ate with peace of mind, and did not pay attention to everyone's small actions.

Deng Jian is a person with a high chest, even if several elders "negotiate" with him, they may not take advantage, where is the turn of these juniors to calculate.

When the wine ran out, Deng Jian didn't hide it, and directly took everyone to the county barracks.

Like Huo Bao, everyone was overwhelmed by this boundless crowd.

The eyes of the elders flickered, and the younger generation also seemed to be beaten with chicken blood.

The smile on the colt's face was even bigger, and he became more and more respectful and close to Xiuxiu.

Lin Jin and Xue Xiao, who were originally lukewarm to Xiuxiu, also changed their attitudes, came to Xiuxiu's side, and answered without a word.

In contrast, Huo Bao's uncle and nephew and Niu Qing are still the same as before.

"There is no order, so many people are blind in vain! If this is in the hands of the fifth grandfather, it is designated to be able to train strong soldiers......" Huo Bao shook his head and said.

"Yes, it's just scary to look at, if you really want to go to the battlefield, you don't have to face the enemy, you have to mess up." Niu Qing nodded and agreed: "Just like those people in Green Snake Village when they first went up the mountain, they are also a team of 100 people, and the team that Uncle Huo has trained can top two or three of them." ”

"Our grandfather is the nephew of the fifth marshal and has been with the fifth marshal, so is the fifth grandfather's method of training the army the art of war on the "Fifth Army Strategy" handed down from the grandfather of the great grandfather?" Huo Bao suddenly thought of this.

Among the folk rumors about the fifth marshal, one is this "Fifth Army Strategy", which is said to be his art of war codex, but there is no empirical evidence.

"Ahh Then Fifth Uncle Huo is not only the great-nephew of the fifth marshal, but also the successor of the fifth marshal in the art of war? Niu Qing said with a bit of honor.

Huo Bao nodded and said: "Second Uncle Jia of Jinling has long said that the fifth grandfather has the talent to lead the army, and if he joins the army, he will be able to get out." The fifth grandfather likes to be idle and hides in the wilderness. It was also in Python Village before, because of the begging of the owner of the horse village and the owner of Du Village, the fifth grandfather agreed to help them train the soldiers, and after the training, no one was left, and they were all handed over. If someone else is replaced, who will have such righteousness as the fifth grandfather? The fifth grandfather is not distressed, I am distressed. ”

Huo Bao was beside the two, listening to the two answers, and glanced at Huo Bao.

This is something in the words, to whom is this said?

Xiuxiu still smiled and grinned, but her little ears were already branched up.

Lin Jin and Xue Xiao both stopped, looking a little thoughtful.

The smile on the colt's face faded.

Before the night banquet, Xiuxiu really found a reason to say goodbye and leave, and went to talk to Deng Jian.

"Isn't Dad short of manpower? Leave your cousin and cousin behind! ”

Xiuxiu saw that there was no one around, so she whispered to Deng Jian: "Those people are not kind, relying on the name of a sworn brother, they call their cousin uncle in vain, and they don't treat their cousin uncle as their own." ”

Deng Jian had a good first impression of Huo Wu.

Huo Wu is bold and honest, and he looks like a real person; But as long as he thinks that he has a ghostly son, Deng Jian feels that the word "real" is not true.

Hearing his daughter say this, Deng Jian couldn't help frowning: "What's the matter?" But what did Huo Bao say to you? ”

"My cousin was tired, and when he was out of the previous introduction, he didn't speak much for the rest of his life. I figured it out for myself...... Today, I recognize my father's relatives with my cousin, but they follow so many people, hmph, who knows what they have in mind? Speaking of this, Xiuxiu couldn't hold back and whispered: "Dad, my cousin was begged by several village owners in Black Python Mountain to help them train their troops, he ...... I seem to have studied the "Fifth Army Strategy" ......"
