If Shi San said "join the army" without a clue, Huo Bao would not pay attention to it and would directly call someone to expel him.

To join the army is to join the army, and to rebel is to rebel.

Accepting a child who wants to "join the army" into the White Shirt Army, isn't that evil?

But Shi San obviously guessed everyone's identity, so he couldn't let him go.

"Recruit as a Scout and be an archer!" Huo Bao instructed Li Yuan.

Li Yuan responded and took Shi San down.

The two are of the same age, and they both have good friends, but they talk together.

Li Yuan's mind was delicate, and he saw that Shi San's archery skills were good, and he couldn't really "come from behind", so he passed the people in the bow team and took Huo Bao's bow captain.

It's not that Shi San can "suppress" Huo Bao with his ability, but Huo Bao and Hou Xiaoming are already Qu Chang and Huo Bao's right-hand men.

The reason why the two are still the captain of the archers and the captain of the scouts is because there is no suitable successor.

Shi San has shallow qualifications, but he has good skills, and he is really colorful, so he can't be said to be a candidate for the captain of the archers.

Shi San observed the convoy for two days and knew Li Yuan's ability.

Fifteen or sixteen teenagers, who obey more than 100 young and strong pipes, this is not a skill, what is a skill?

"Brother Yuan is amazing! These more than 100 people all listen to Brother Yuan, and they are majestic! Shi praised sincerely: "By the side of the master, Brother Yuan is also the most powerful!" ”

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Don't you dare to say that!" I am a fox and a fake tiger, relying on the power of Bao Ye, so no one screams. There are many capable people around Bao Ye, and the brothers on the upper level are not comparable to me! Now there are tasks outside, several brothers are busy outside, and there is no one at hand for Bao Ye to call, so he temporarily asked me to take care of chores for a few days. ”

When Shi San heard this, he couldn't help but speak: "How many people are under Bao Ye?" It's more than a hundred, and what? ”

"There are only fifty of the soldiers here who are Bao Ye's own soldiers, and there are still 1,800 at home. The hundred young men who came this time are the people of the fifth master. The grandfather is the father of the grandfather, and Uncle Shui and Uncle Xue are all by the grandfather's side. The master was not worried about Bao Ye's travel, so he sent Uncle Shui and Uncle Xue to escort them. Our Bao Ye has 1,800 soldiers. ”

Li Yuan was a little proud on his face, but he also knew how to measure, and only said the relationship between Huo Bao, Shui Jin, and Xue Xiao in front of him, and other names and place names were hidden.

Shi San's eyes lit up.

Young people practice martial arts, they are all enthusiastic, and they want to build a career.

He followed Huo Bao, and the more powerful Huo Bao was, the happier he was.

The crowd set off again.

Among the group, Huo Bao and three people rode in a carriage, and ten guys worked as mule carts.

The remaining one hundred and fifty people were all on foot, even Li Yuan was no exception.

After walking more than ten miles, a few younger Scouts got into the grain cart.

But it was to get in the car and take a breath, and after two or three quarters of an hour, I got down and followed everyone.

The older Scouts sweated profusely and did not get on the mule cart.

There are still seats in the mule cart!

Shi San was curious, but he just looked at it and didn't say much.

When it was estimated that more than 20 miles away, the convoy took a lunch break and ate the radish and bacon rice balls distributed in the morning.

Shi San was satisfied, so he asked about the teenagers' car.

"According to the rules set by Bao Ye, half of the thirteen-year-old walking is qualified, and the rest is within his ability. But the little ones are so strong, and no one really wants to go halfway! Li Yuandao.

The carriage was stuffy, and Huo Bao and several people also got out of the carriage.

"I can go to Changzhou tomorrow afternoon, what is the situation of the iron mine over there? Does Brother Xiao know? Huo Bao asked.

"There is an iron mine managed by the government over there, supervised by Changzhou Wei, in fact, there are two mines......" Xue Xiao lowered his voice and said: "I don't know which one is the owner behind this private mine, but the commander of Changzhou Wei has not been promoted for ten years, and there are his members on the left and right!" ”

Huo Bao was not surprised when he heard this.

Officialdom is erosive, can't only civil officials be bad, but military attaches are innocent?

Guan Tie Ye.

Huo Bao was most concerned about this iron mine, but he was not arrogant and felt that he could take the iron mine by force.

He is concerned about the inventory of Changzhou iron ore, which is a large mine that has been smelted for more than ten years, and the pig iron that goes into the iron warehouse will not be a decimal.

Toss these pig irons out, so that there is room for the next play.

Huo Bao was still a little confused before, but when he knew that this iron ore shady scene was much more down-to-earth.

If you are not afraid of corrupt officials, you are afraid that officials are not corrupt.

What can be solved with silver is a trivial matter.

After using the rice balls, the convoy rested for half an hour and was ready to leave.

Before the mule cart had started, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance to the west.

Li Yuan held the handle of the knife, followed the official road, and looked due west.

Those who were divided into "guards" were also on their own alert.

Huo Bao and the others had not yet gotten into the carriage, but they were also alarmed and looked into the distance.

"Three horses, three men!" Shi San's eyes are good, and he said to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan blinked, feeling that the person in the lead was a little familiar.

"Huh? It's Brother Leopard! ”

Those people were closer, and Huo Bao and others also recognized it, led by Huo Bao.

"Phew!"

A few people came to the front in a blink of an eye, Huo Bao turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward with a snort.

"Uncle Bao!"

Huo Bao's heart lifted: "My father asked you to come?" But has the riverside changed? ”

"It's the fifth grandfather who told me to chase Uncle Bao, Binjiang is fine, it's Bozhou...... Marshal Liu advanced the date of marrying his daughter, and also sent Second Master Liu to Binjiang and Quyang to deliver posts in person, inviting Fifth Grandfather and Uncle Deng to Bozhou to eat and drink...... The third uncle's marriage is a big deal, and the fifth grandfather asked me to chase Uncle Bao back......"

"When is the wedding date?"

"June 16!"

Today is May 28, and there are still 18 days, and you can go back to Binjiang for 200 miles, and Binjiang to Bozhou for more than 500 miles, adding up to 700 miles.

The days are tight, no wonder Huo Wu sent people to chase Huo Bao quickly.

Huo Bao was going back, looking at everyone.

Shui Jin immediately said: "Xiaobao, I'll go back too, I told the third brother before, I want to be a concubine for the third brother!" ”

Xue Xiao also followed: "Uncle Wu and Uncle Deng are all going to eat and drink, and they always have juniors around them to serve...... Even if you don't accompany you, there is a shortage of manpower left behind...... Or, let Changzhou go first? ”

At this time, the most suitable person to go to Changzhou was Xue Xiao, but he obviously had no intention of doing so, so Huo Bao was not reluctant, went back to the carriage to get a pen and paper, and wrote a note and handed it to Li Yuan.

"You take someone to Changzhou to meet the Great Sage, and after inquiring clearly, you will go back to Quyang."

"Honorable Order!"

In this way, ten men, fifty boy soldiers, and fifty Quyang soldiers continued to Changzhou.

Huo Bao, Shui Jin and others took fifty people and turned back the same way.

*

Changning County, foot shop.

The shopkeeper had already received a reply, knowing that Huo Bao and his party were forbidden, and the entourage was indeed in the army.

"Which adult's beloved son? Kill decisively, not a thing in the pool, when you make friends! "The shopkeeper has made a decision.

On the street, the former site of the sugar man's stall.

Song Xiucai stood woodenly, looking at the empty place in a daze.

Passers-by saw him stupid and stupid, and they couldn't help but point their fingers.

"Song Maniac is out again!"

"Poor Sugar Man Li, he was plagued by the white dog!"

"It's just a few beggars, doing evil in the name of the Buddha, fake!"

"It doesn't matter if he's really fake, pity a few county soldiers, they were killed by these people."

"They didn't end well, and the leader was killed by the county soldiers...... There are also a number of ...... in the prison."

"That's not enough, there are still a bunch of miles living in the land temple outside the city!"

Song Xiucai's eyes moved, and he walked away.

*

In the thick of the night, Huo Bao and the others arrived outside Changning County for a day and a half.

Because I was in a hurry, I walked for two and a half days and took a day and a half.

When passing through Qu'a in the middle, Huo Bao directly asked people to go into the city and buy several mule carts.

All the people accompanying him took the car, and at the end of the day, it changed from 40 miles before to more than 70 miles.

The second watch is over, and the city gate has been closed early.

Even if it is not closed, Huo Bao will choose to "pass through the door".

Everyone's food, and the beans needed by the mules and horses, had been bought in Qu'a before.

In order to save time, there is no boiling water, and the bamboo tube on each person is made of light wine.

Eating is cooking cakes with sauce and meat, and dealing with them indiscriminately.

"It's the second watch, rest early, and set off tomorrow on the fifth watch!"

Huo Bao dealt with Huo Bao.

Li Yuan followed the convoy to Changzhou, and this trivial matter went to Huo Bao's hands again.

Huo Bao responded, and went down to arrange the people on duty at night.
