Chapter Seventy-Nine: The New Ding (Second Update)
Huo Bao and his entourage were satisfied with their meals and returned to the inn.
Outside the city, the man hired someone to pick up the braised pork.
Because Huo Bao said that he was prepared according to one person and a half catty, the guy called the braised meat stalls to be cut, and a half catty was wrapped in reed leaves.
Half a catty per person, and a dozen catties of wealth, a total of ninety catties, spent five taels of silver.
Li Yuan took over the entire team because of Huo Bao's attention, and in addition to the ten guys, the other 150 people were temporarily divided according to the old customs of the boy scout.
It's just that there are not five types of scouts, but four types, scouts, guards, chariots, and auxiliaries.
The scouts are responsible for guarding and exploring the way, the auxiliaries are responsible for logistics, the chariots are only responsible for driving the cars and feeding the mules and horses, and the guards are responsible for guarding and guarding the night in shifts.
Breaking the three boundaries of Scouts, Quyang soldiers, and Binjiang soldiers, everyone has errands, but it is more forbidden than before.
When the group did not open at noon, it was the dry food prepared by the "auxiliary soldiers", salted radish and bacon rice balls; In the morning and evening, it is salted radish and bacon porridge, and boiled water to dry boiled water after meals.
Each person brought two bamboo tubes, one for rice balls, and the other for porridge and water on the road during meals.
Shi Chang and Wu Chang, who were contemptuous because of Li Yuan's youth before, are also honest.
The fifty soldiers in Binjiang have food and drink, but they feel that this day is really not bad.
The Scout and Quyang soldiers knew the roots, and knew that Li Yuan was learning the Scout, but they felt more and more that "Little Baoye" acted in a disciplined manner.
The guy sent the meat over, and without waiting to give credit to his young owner, Li Yuan said in a loud voice: "The designation is ordered by our master, and our master always cares about whether we eat well or not!" ”
The other Scouts also knew about Hobo's behavior and chimed in.
"Bao Ye said, we are growing our bodies, and we can't break the meat!"
"When I was on the mountain at first, every five and ten treasures took everyone to the back mountain to hunt, the pheasants and hares were tired of eating, and I also encountered a wild boar again! The big wild boar, with so long fangs, we just followed the masters to learn weapons, and we were all panicked when we saw it, and Bao Ye threw it down and killed him directly! That meat is really fragrant, and I have eaten several meals! ”
"You're in for a good time!"
"Bao Ye has wronged you? Ask the county soldier camp over there, who doesn't know that our camp is well fed! ”
The boys' voices were crisp.
Hearing this, the other hundred or so people all looked at the braised meat frame beside Li Yuan and swallowed their saliva.
It was divided into three before, but now it's not a "joint army"?
The meat that the "treasure master" bought, there should also be a share for everyone, right?
Li Yuan looked at the two boxes full of braised meat, thanked the guys, and beckoned all the staff to receive the meat in order.
"Incense!"
"This treasure is really good!"
Inside and outside the camp, for this braised pork, they were full of joy.
In these days, it is a blessing not to be hungry, and it is unimaginable to be able to eat meat.
is rich for more than ten catties, and Li Yuan will have an extra bag of these people.
The rules in the scout camp are that those who can work more, and those who can occupy more.
There are still two catties of meat, Li Yuan divided it into three parts, and he divided it with the two tun chiefs of Quyang soldiers and Binjiang soldiers.
The reed leaves wrapped in the sauce meat opened, and the camp was full of meat.
Many people were so greedy that they swallowed the sauce meat in a few bites like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, and looked at the drooling in other people's hands.
The small leaders of the tun chief and the chief are at least one pound of sauce meat per person, and they are rich.
The braised pork is already fragrant, and when you eat it under the envious eyes of others, the taste is even better.
Everyone was satisfied, and they were sleepy when they were full.
Li Yuan didn't dare to ignore it, and took a turn around.
He knows his strengths and weaknesses, and his strengths are the relationship between his brothers, and these people from Quyang recognize him, and he is considered the leader in the new scouts; The disadvantage is that it is not as good as those people who came down from Black Python Mountain, who were the first to vote for Bao Ye, and I heard that Bao Ye brought it out single-handedly.
The five leaders of the Scout are all old people from Black Python Mountain, and each of them has an unshakable identity.
finally got the opportunity to follow Huo Bao to be alone, and Li Yuan didn't want to show his timidity.
The mules and horses were fed, the guards were on guard in shifts, and the whole camp was in order.
There was a banging sound in the city, and several torches were lit in the camp.
Late at night, the crowd in the camp faded away.
Except for the guards who kept vigil, most of the rest of the people were snorting and falling asleep.
After a few days of travel, every day was forty miles, and everyone was tired.
Li Yuan closed his eyelids and dozed, thinking about the rest of the journey.
After four days, I traveled 170 miles, and I still had 70 miles to Changzhou.
In Changzhou, there are five major leaders Hou Xiaoming.
Among the several leaders, except for Huo Bao, who is the nephew of Bao Yetang, others cannot compare, followed by Hou Xiaoming.
These two positions are unshakable, and among the remaining three leaders, the Zhu brothers are leaning on each other, and Liang Zhuang is from the same Hou Xiaoming, an orphan of the homeless, and the two are close.
Li Yuan sighed at the parallel promotion rules of "those who can work hard" and "come first and come, first come" in the Scouts, but he was at ease.
Except for the hundred or so people who came down from Black Python Mountain, it was their turn to have deep qualifications.
As long as they climb up, they don't have to worry about being replaced by latecomers.
"Who?"
There was a shout of scolding from a corner of the camp.
Li Yuan immediately opened his eyes, got up and walked over.
Early the next morning, Huo Bao and the others went out of the city to the camp, and saw the "uninvited guests" who were tied into zongzi.
It's none other than the youngest grandson of Lao Muramasa.
"Is that you? I heard that you sneaked into the camp with the intention of stealing? ”
The boy was found somewhere else, near several makeshift marching stoves.
The young man's face was flushed, and he hurriedly said, "I'm not stealing...... I'm hungry......" he said, his stomach gurgling.
The young man became more and more embarrassed, but he was obedient: "Master misunderstood, I inquired about the convoy yesterday if it was not for Sister Dalian...... It's me who wants to join the army! ”
Huo Bao glanced at the young man, with a bow and arrows behind him, and an arrow bag around his waist.
No wonder he thought he looked a little like Huo Bao before, in addition to his smart eyes, it was also because his body proportions were similar to Huo Bao's, his body was not tall, but his arms were long.
"Good shooting?"
"I've been studying for more than ten years, and it's a bit accurate!" The young man's mouth was modest, but his eyebrows and eyes were a little proud.
Huo Bao motioned for someone to loosen his tie.
The boy rubbed his wrists, and finally chose a banyan tree fifty or sixty paces away, drew his bow and shot an arrow.
"Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh", three arrows in a row, lined up in the word "one" under the banyan tree.
With such distance and accuracy, the young man's archery skills are a few points stronger than Huo Leopard's half-hanging.
The young man took the bow and looked at Huo Bao with anticipation.
"Song Laosan, didn't you instigate the betrayal?"
“……”
"Humph!"
The young man sneered, "This is not a way to do it...... The master is a foreigner, so he doesn't have to worry about the people who put the money, if he begs my master to help her family, it will be like our bad guys buying and selling......"
"Be generous to others! What if there are hundreds of thugs who put in the money of the seal, they are better than us? What are you not harming people? ”
Huo Bao still didn't like his nosy.
This kind of behavior can be said to be a young man who is soft-hearted and tries his best to find a way out for the Song family, or it can be said that "the water is leading to trouble" and dragging innocent people into the water.
The young man hurriedly shook his head and said, "No! It's a few local snakes in the town, and more than a dozen people under them are up to the sky! ”
"You know?" Huo Bao pointed to the soldiers in the camp: "I brought out more than 100 people here, can't I have another man?" ”
The boy suddenly wilted, and his face was filled with shame.
Huo Bao said: "Use your brains!" Do you know who we are, and you join the army? Aren't you afraid we'll sell you? Let's go to Changzhou in a while, there is a shortage of mine slaves over there! ”
The young man did not look afraid, but smiled "hehe", and said in a low voice: "I know, the master is from the north, and my master is from Chuzhou, and he is almost inseparable from you!" ”
Huo Bao glared at the boy and did not answer.
The boy stood straighter, with a gritty look on his face.
"What's your name?"
"Shi San, my name is Shi San!"
