After talking to Deng Jian, Huo Bao went to the Scout camp.

There are 1,000 or dozens of people, and now there are less than 400 people left in Quyang.

Fifty people went to Songjiang with Zhu Xiaoer, one hundred people went to Changzhou with Hou Xiaoming and Li Yuan, and two hundred people repaired warehouses in Binjiang.

Another 50 were in Jinling, and 300 were in the grain transport team.

However, even if only a third of them remained, the Scouts still practiced according to the rules every day and did not dare to slack off.

Liang Zhuang, the captain of the spearmen who stayed behind, is like a twin brother of Shui Jin, who is black and strong.

The Black Python Mountain Child Soldiers had just been formed, and the teenagers were not convinced by Huo Bao, the leader of the airborne.

In order to deter the teenagers, Huo Bao threw a boulder, saying that what could be lifted could be replaced by himself, and the first person to come out to carry the stone was Liang Zhuang.

It was he who didn't accept Huo Bao to come out to challenge, he couldn't lift the stone and knew that Huo Bao's strength was indeed great, and the first obedient one was also his, and his temperament was very upright.

With such a temperament, it's okay to be a captain, but it's not enough to be clever when you plan the overall situation.

But there is no choice at the moment, Huo Bao can only take Liang Zhuang north.

"Select 200 people with good physical strength and go north with me...... You choose a deputy by yourself and stay in Quyang to train on your behalf......" Huo Bao commanded.

"Order!" Liang Zhuang responded and went down.

Since the Scouts formed the army, except for the first batch and the second batch, Huo Bao personally brought it, and the rest were handed over to the people below.

There are pros and cons, the advantage is that you are not bound by military training and have time to do something else; The disadvantage is that the newcomers are not familiar with each other, and the inspection is handed over to a few backbones.

Within the Scouts, after a long time, they will definitely form gangs.

The big division is divided into the Black Python Mountain Gang and the Quyang Gang.

In the Black Python Mountain, there are also three gangs: Python Head Village, Python King Village, and Homeless Youth.

In the Quyang Gang, there are also county soldiers and country soldiers.

There are many people, and there are so few, Huo Bao didn't take it to heart.

Now the Scouts are all "frogs at the bottom of the well", they see the world in front of them, and when they go out later, they will know how big the world is.

However, Huo Bao also decided to wait for Bozhou to come back and practice twice in person, so that the soldiers below could not forget who the real leader was.

"Is my cousin here?"

Through the door, the little girl's voice was still crisp and sweet.

Huo Bao got up and greeted him.

However, after half a month, Xiuxiu's face faded from baby fat, and she had the appearance of a little girl.

"Why did you lose so much weight?" Huo Bao was surprised.

"Grandpa is sick...... the little girl said with a little worry on her face.

"What disease? Better? Huo Bao's heart lifted.

Among them, some of them are really worried about the loving and generous old man, and some are worried about the situation in Quyang.

Master Deng seems to only have a false name as a sect leader, but the actual weight is not light.

With Deng Jian's filial piety, if Master Deng is really seriously ill, even if he knows that he offends Marshal Liu, he will be left behind.

"Huang Ju's men were executed for a great crime a few days ago!"

"The old man pleaded?"

The little girl shook her head: "My father wanted to expel them before, but my grandfather insisted on killing them!" It's just that when the Huang family died, they didn't sleep well all night, and they got sick! ”

Huo Bao can still stay, and said, "Then let's go see the old man!" ”

Before, he wanted to wait for Huo Wuyi and his entourage to arrive and go to the Sifang Inn together, but now he couldn't help it.

didn't get along for long, no matter what Master Deng's purpose was, it was really good to be good to him.

"Grandpa is rare to you, I must be happy to see you!"

The little girl's tone was a little pantothenic: "Grandpa must want a male grandson, so he is good to you!" Hum! I also said before that our family is not patriarchal, but it is coaxing! ”

Huo Bao smiled, not knowing how to explain to the little girl.

Everyone has distant relatives, and no matter how good the old man is to Huo Bao, he will not go past his granddaughter. is good to Huo Bao, not because Huo Bao is likable, but also for the little granddaughter.

Huo Bao took out the peachwood sword from his purse and handed it over: "This is the light that has been opened on the Maoshan Deyou Temple, which calms the soul and wards off evil spirits." ”

The little peach wood sword was delicate and cute, and the little girl was very happy to take it, and said, "Thank you, cousin!" ”

Looking at the little girl's double maids, Huo Bao did not restrain himself and reached out to touch it.

The little girl tilted her head to avoid it, wrinkled her nose and said, "Cousin, don't want me to be a child, grandpa said that I am a big girl!" ”

Huo Bao smiled and touched his nose.

Big girl, four-foot-tall girl?

The big doll is about the same, and it's still quite a cute big doll.

The two of them went to the Sifang Inn together.

The Sifang Inn took off the guise and was not open.

Huo Bao felt uneasy in his heart, worried about Old Man Deng's condition.

Master Deng's face was pale, his cheeks were fleshless, there were a few more frowns on his forehead, and the clothes on his body were a lot more open.

However, unlike Huo Baoxiang's bedridden, Master Deng was in the tea room, sitting at the table of eight immortals, eating tea in front of a set of purple sand tea utensils.

Seeing Huo Bao come in, the old man was not surprised, and greeted: "Xiaobao come and sit on the ......" and said to Xiuxiu: "Go buy two packs of dim sum and tea, you want salty, Xiaobao doesn't like sweet." ”

"Grandpa is eccentric, I want to buy two packs of sweet, that is, begonia crisp and red bean cake!" The little girl snorted softly at Huo Bao, turned around and went out.

Huo Bao sat down opposite Master Deng, and he didn't know how to be relieved.

Killing Huang Juren's family is "cutting the grass and eradicating the roots", and it is also "killing chickens and monkeys".

Everyone understands the truth, but the human heart grows.

In order to take into account the mood of his old father-in-law, Deng Jian was willing to spare the lives of the Huang family; Master Deng is here, but in order not to leave trouble for his son-in-law, he kills people.

Huo Bao picked up the teapot as he spoke, and poured half a cup of tea for the old man: "You have to take care of yourself, my cousin can't do without you at the helm here......"

The old man sighed: "It's old, it's old, I can't stand it anymore, let Xiaobao see the joke." ”

Huo Bao hurriedly shook his head: "Decades of friendship, how can you say that you will lose it?" It's just that in your old heart, it's a little dangerous to be reluctant to let your cousin and Xiuxiu ...... If I change my father, it will be like this......"

The old man smiled bitterly: "There is no turning back...... I can't take care of them, all I can do is not make a mess......"

Huo Bao hurriedly said: "You are here, you are Zhenshan Tai Sui!" I just came back from my father's today, and my father complained that there are few people in Binjiang, not enough, but look at my cousin here, the relatives are cut off, and there is a real shortage of people. Except for a few thousand households, they can't pick out the people who should be used. ”

Huo Bao only felt that he had said more in the past two days than in the previous months.

This is true for Aunt Huo Liu, and the same is true for Master Deng.

When people are old and lonely, it is inevitable to think crankily, and heart disease also requires heart medicine, and "being needed" is a good prescription.

Master Deng was really worried about his son-in-law, raised his eyebrows and said: "It's all Deng Ren's bastard thing, otherwise the Deng family can always pick two children to take with them!" ”

With Deng Ren in front, there was no kindness to Deng Jian's father and daughter, and in order to save trouble, Master Deng could only suppress these people.

"I wonder if my cousin has any intention of accepting apprentices? If you accept apprentices, you can transfer the tiger over! He is honest and not smart, but Sister Juzi is more colorful, and this time my father came out, and he also arranged for her to guard the riverside. Huo Bao thought for a moment.

There are really a lot of people in Binjiang County.

The so-called small number of people is because Huo Wu, Xue Biao, and the old monk coexist, and they can't be twisted into a rope, and they must beware of each other to support each other.

The younger generation, the people over there are over-the-top.

Binjiang County is in the rear of Chuzhou, unless the imperial court transfers troops from Jiangnan to quell the rebellion, it is the rear, comfortable and stable, and there is no need to detain the younger generation there.

In contrast, there is a shortage of people in Quyang County.

The juniors are all in the Scouts, and there are only a few thousand households under Deng Jian who can be called, and there is no successor.

The foal's previous caution was unpleasant, but as in the case of gangs in the Scouts, these were just minor internal contradictions.

Even if the foal is transferred to Quyang County and the tiger is given the opportunity to apprentice, they will not be able to climb to Huo Bao's head.

The geographical location of Quyang, sandwiched between the state capital and the riverside, is really churning and not blooming.

When Master Deng heard this, he couldn't help but be moved, but hesitated: "It's not kind to dig into your father's corner like this, right?" ”

Huo Bao said calmly: "It's not someone else!" Didn't my father also dig up Uncle Xue Qi and Brother Shui from my third uncle? One is a money bag, the other is the right-hand man of the third uncle, and my father is not polite! ”

Master Deng had a smile on his face, and joked Huo Bao: "It is said that 'one girl has three thieves', and your son is also a thief!" Your father must know that it was your idea, and he is afraid that he will cry! ”

Huo Bao said: "My father loves me, even if he is reluctant, he will definitely rely on it!" I'm not thinking that transporting grain is a big deal, and I need someone to lead it! Uncle Cousin is in order, you can always put your mind at ease, just help me go. ”

Master Deng's stall is not as big as Xue Biao, and it is not for nothing that he may be the head of the Chamber of Commerce in a county, and he will be pushed to the position of the head catcher in a county.

The matter of transporting grain will take several months, and then the salt and iron matter, rather than occupying a Huo Leopard to stare at, it is better to ask Master Deng to come out of the mountain.

No matter how capable Huo Bao is, he is over there, and he has to follow the Xue family's shopkeeper when he goes out to deal with him, which is a lot of inconvenience.

If you change Master Deng, you don't have to worry about this problem.

At the same time, let Mr. Deng watch this business, and also solve the hidden danger of building a warehouse in Binjiang County.

Otherwise, after a long time, it will be difficult to ensure that someone will provoke in Deng Jian's ear.

It's the best of both worlds.
