Chapter Twenty-Four: Zhong Qiu
Wu Hao looked at the children who were leaving like a tide in the woods, looked around, and smiled when he saw the chirping birds and a bunch of bird eggs around him: "Wu Hu, bring these back to add food." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"IāI'm moving alone?". Looking at the eggs and those birds all over the ground, Wu Hu wanted to cry without tears.
Wu Hao's eyes widened, and he looked at Wu Hu unhappily: "You don't want to?"
"No, don't dare". Wu Hu subconsciously shuddered, and he had already admired his son-in-law's ability to play tricks. At this time, how dare you disobey the order, you can only grit your teeth and pick up the respective birds that are bound by the weeds with a sad face.
Seeing that Wu Hu was so obedient, Wu Hao nodded secretly and walked slowly in the direction of Fuzhong.
Wu Hu cleaned up, holding a bunch of birds and eggs, and followed behind.
The two of them walked out of the woods and looked in the direction of the gate of the mansion, and a famous soldier had already stood respectfully on both sides at some point, revealing a murderous aura.
Wu Hao frowned slightly, and couldn't help but have an ominous feeling when he thought of the stars at night.
A soldier was about eighteen or nine years old, skinny as wood, and although he was wearing armor, he lacked some heroic masculinity. His eyes looked around, like a mouse.
Wu Hu saw the appearance of the soldier clearly, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Zhong Qiu, Zhong Qiu, didn't you kid go to Guanzhuang to be a soldier at the beginning of this year?" How did you run here".
"Last night, your brother hurriedly went to the seven villages under Chao County to gather the branch soldiers, and when I heard that he was about to go to Hefei to participate in the war, I hurried here as soon as I was excited." Zhong Qiu looked at Wu Hu with a smug look.
Looking around and seeing Wu Hao, Zhong Qiu immediately saluted respectfully: "I haven't seen you for a few months, is the son okay?"
"Naturally, it's too good, you kid do a good job when you go into battle to kill the enemy, don't lose the face of this son." Wu Hao walked towards Zhong Qiu and patted him on the shoulder, looking old-fashioned.
Zhong Qiu was originally from Jiangxia County, and eight years ago there was an uprising in Jiangxia County, and his whole family was slaughtered. Zhong had a big life, and was inadvertently coerced by the rebel army all the way to Lujiang County. Later, he was rescued by Wu Hao and was willing to be an entourage in order to repay his kindness. Until the beginning of this year, I heard that the branch of the family recruited family soldiers, and under the encouragement of Wu Hao, I went to Guanzhuang to become a branch family soldier.
Thinking of the kindness over the years, Zhong Qiu once again saluted Wu Hao respectfully: "Don't worry, Gongzi will go to Hefei Houguo, and I Zhong Qiu will not embarrass Gongzi."
"Don't just say hello, I'm tired of holding these things. I hate you kid, and I won't come to help." Wu Hu only felt a sore wrist and complained to the two of them.
Only then did Qiu notice the birds and eggs that Wu Hu was holding in his hands, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "How can there be so many of these things?"
"Do you think I have a lot of these things on my hands? I'll tell you there's a whole bunch of them in the woods." Wu Hu complained to Zhong Qiu, his eyes looked at Wu Hao, his eyes were full of resentment.
Zhong Qiu didn't react a little, and subconsciously blinked his eyes: "There are a lot more?"
"I haven't seen you for a few months, and you've forgotten about Childe's skills? Not to mention these bird eggs, even if Gongzi suddenly catches a group of fierce tigers that day, I, Wu Hu, will not be the slightest surprised." Wu Hu couldn't help but feel a little angry when he saw Qiu Zhong's stunned appearance.
Zhong Qiu thought of Wu Hao's ability, and reacted instantly, looking around at the soldiers on both sides and ordering: "Come and two people to help Wu Hu take the things in his hand to the mansion." The rest went into the woods and brought back the eggs and all the birds."
"No". Ten of the soldiers on both sides walked out and saluted Zhong Qiu respectfully.
The two walked towards Wu Hu, and the remaining eight walked towards the woods.
Wu Hu handed over the birds and eggs in his hand to the two soldiers, and patted Zhong Qiu's shoulder: "You kid is doing well in Guanzhuang, you actually have subordinates."
"These are all great favors from Childe, if it weren't for Childe teaching us to read and write, how could I be the ten-master of the family." Zhong Qiu looked at Wu Hao after speaking, his eyes were full of gratitude.
Wu Hao smiled at Zhong Qiu: "This son just provides you with an opportunity to read and write, you can learn, it is just your own ability." What do you have to say, this word of thanks".
"The kindness of the son, I remember the hatred in my heart, but in the future, I will drive to die." Zhong Qiu said to Wu Hao word by word, his tone was full of firmness.
Looking at the serious Zhong Qiu, Wu Hao just smiled and didn't say much. From the beginning of the landing of Wow Wow to the present, only Wu Long, Wu Hu and Zhong Qiu have been favored by him. The two brothers, Wu Long and Wu Hu, are in a special situation, so Wu Long is determined to serve his father, and he has nothing to say. After all, whether it is to serve himself or his father, it is the same for the situation at this time.
At this time, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded, and Wu Long walked quickly with dozens of branch soldiers. Seeing Wu Hao, he was slightly stunned, and then bowed and saluted: "I've seen Childe."
"What happened in such a hurry?". Wu Hao looked around, and saw an anxious look on the faces of the ten branch soldiers behind Wu Long, and couldn't help frowning.
Wu Long did not hide it from Wu Hao, and immediately replied with a little organization in his heart: "I received a letter from the head of the family this morning, saying that the war in Hefei was unfavorable, and Taishou sent people to Shu County, the county capital, to urgently dispatch troops and horses to help. That's why we are so anxious."
"Moreover, the head of the house has explained in his letter that we must leave by midnight tonight at the latest, and if we do not do we will be punished." Without waiting for Wu Hao to reply, Wu Long continued to explain.
When Wu Hao heard the word punishment, he smiled bitterly at his old man in his heart. The Great Han is about to perish, what is the use of you being so loyal?
Wu Long saw that Wu Hao was silent, and when he thought that time was running out, he immediately felt a sense of urgency: "Gathering people, collecting armor and weapons, and arranging boats to cross Chaohu Lake, all of them need time. Therefore, Wu Long retired first, and asked Gongzi Haihan."
"Please". Wu Hao also knew this truth, so he didn't force him to stay. Thinking of his old man on the battlefield of Hefei Houguo, he couldn't help but shake his head. What about killing and killing over the years, in the end, it is not that he can't get any benefits, but he will let his own soldiers lose and be blamed by the branches. If it weren't for his own wife, who was putting out fires everywhere in the back, I don't know how big a mess the Wu family would have.
Wu Long waved his hand and walked towards the mansion with the branch soldiers behind him.
After Wu Hao watched Wu Long and his party enter the mansion, he felt a little depressed, and looked at Wu Hu and Zhong Qiu: "I'm not in a good mood, do you want to go shopping with me."
"Zhong Qiu is willing to accompany his son and visit this Chao County together." Zhong Qiu thought about the time for a while, and then replied to Wu Hao.
Wu Hu didn't know why Wu Hao suddenly became depressed, there is a way to hate his son and not become steel, but why he turned it upside down in front of his son-in-law. Who is right and who is wrong? I don't understand. But there is no doubt that the world is in chaos.
When he was thinking about it, he saw that Wu Hao had already taken Zhong Qiu away, Wu Hu hurriedly put away his messy thoughts and chased after him: "Childe, you wait."
Wu Hao listened to Wu Hu's voice, not only did not stop, but accelerated his pace.
