Chapter 332 Fatal Engagement
The old and the young are all in tears.
But Ho Ying's face was tense: "Uncle Bao, whoever harms Brother Bao, let's kill him to avenge Brother Bao!"
This is not the first time an eight-year-old child has faced life and death.
Last year, when the grandfather and grandson bid farewell, the young man was frightened and uneasy; now the clan brothers died suddenly, the young man was full of hatred.
If you die, you will never see you again.
Huo Wu and his son are both busy, and Huo Bao is the one who often comes and goes to Huo Liu's place.
Although they are apart in age, Huo Bao treats Niu Niu and Huo Ying very well. No wonder the two children are sad.
Huo Bao nodded: "That's natural!"
It is natural to kill people and repay their lives, and to pay their debts.
To be honest, Huo Bao and Huo Bao were not familiar with each other before last year, but they knew they were relatives. When they left Nanshan Village together, they got together and began to get to know each other.
People have a strong heart and flesh. After a year, Huo Bao has regarded Huo Bao as a relative.
After comforting Aunt Huo Liu, Huo Bao went to the side room.
This yard is Huo Bao’s residence in the Taiwei Mansion, and now the coffin is placed in this wing room.
A dense cotton curtain was hung at the door of the wing room. As soon as he entered the room, he shivered.
The house is a simple mourning hall with coffins.
The weather is hot now, there is a lot of ice in the house, and the room is cold.
Huo Bao opened the coffin and looked down inside.
Maybe someone asked someone to sort it out, Huo Bao's face was peaceful and seemed to be asleep.
He was wearing a new red robe, and looked familiar.
This style was worn by Huo Hu when he got married last year.
Red, man and woman, this is the wedding dress for getting married.
Last year, when Huo Hu got married, many of the things were prepared by Aunt Huo Liu in Binjiang County.
At that time, thinking that Huo Bao was about to get married, he prepared two copies.
Unexpectedly, I have made funeral clothes now.
But the right sleeve is empty, and the same is true for the waist...
Huo Bao gritted his teeth, covered the coffin and left the wing room.
Outside the door, Zhu Gang, Wu Yuan, Song Qianzhi, An Changsheng, Li Yu and others were waiting.
Several teenagers changed into plain clothes and looked no longer smiling.
An Changsheng and Li Yu came late, but because they often followed Huo Bao, they went to and from the Taiwei Mansion and were also familiar with Huo Bao.
Not to mention Zhu Gang, Song Qianzhi, Wu Yuan and others, they all struggled with Huo Bao.
"Go and take a look!"
Huo Bao told Song Qianzhi, An Changsheng and Li Yu.
These three people had just returned to Jinling before with Huo Bao.
The three of them responded and entered the wing room.
Huo Bao looked at Zhu Gang, Wu Yuan: "Have you seen Liang Zhuang?"
The firearm battalion was ambushed, the chief officer Huo Bao was killed by bombing, and Liang Zhuang, the deputy, was injured and unconscious.
"I woke up long ago. I was feeling uncomfortable when I learned about Brother Leopard!"
Zhu Gang said in a muffled voice.
He returned to Jinling for half a month and was on vacation. Before he could meet his friends again, he waited for bad news.
Wu Yuanze said: "Liang Qianhu's good luck was so bad that he injured the back of his head, but nothing serious. The rest was abrasions..."
Huo Bao looked at Wu Yuan steadily: "What do you think of the doctor?"
"It's not hurting the muscles and bones, it's almost done after ten days or half a month."
Wu Yuan said softly.
Huo Bao picked the corner of his mouth: "It's really awesome luck!"
The same two people, in the ambush circle, why did one have no bones and the other have fur wounds?
Huo Bao didn't want to think too much, but he had to think too much.
As she spoke, Song Qianzhi and others came out of the room, and their eyes were red.
Huo Bao waved his hand and said, "It's all gone, do whatever you should do."
Wu Yuan wanted to train new recruits, so he returned to Jinling Camp.
Song Qianzhi and his friends followed Huo Bao to the night road, and now they were in a hurry and went to their own homes.
Li Yu's family did not move to Jinling, but had a different courtyard in Jinling.
Several people left, but Zhu Gang refused to leave.
He felt uncomfortable. Even though everyone had seen life and death in the battle this year, the death of his robe companion was different.
There is also the conversation between Huo Bao and Wu Yuan just now...
Zhu Gang is just dull and not a fool, so how can he hear the doubts?
Huo Bao glanced at him, said nothing, and took him to the next room.
Liang Zhuang was born as a child soldier and an orphan. He had no relatives, so he was placed in the Taiwei Mansion.
He was originally as his name was tall and strong, but now he seems to have changed.
The person lost weight a lot, with a white cloth wrapped around his head, and his eyes were covered. After going down, his eyes were full of wood.
Seeing Huo Bao, Liang Zhuang struggled to get up, but his eyes turned black and his body shaking.
Huo Bao looked at Liang Zhuang and stood in front of the bed for a few steps without moving.
Zhu Gang followed Huo Bao and did not go forward to help others.
Liang Zhuang stood up beside the bed, his face turned pale: "Master Bao..."
The object Huo Bao’s suspicion was indeed Liang Zhuang in front of him.
But no matter how suspicious he had no intention of convicting him directly, and asked directly: "Why did Huo Bao think of volunteering to follow the battle? Did you persuade him?"
If the goal of the calculation is Huo Bao, then Liang Zhuang, the deputy battalion commander of the firearm battalion, is the biggest suspect.
In the eyes of outsiders, although he is not from the Huo clan, he is a child soldier. He is one of Huo Bao's confidants and can completely replace Huo Bao.
Liang Zhuang's face was pale and his lips were trembling, without denying it.
"Why?"
Huo Bao was very calm.
He saw that Liang Zhuang had regrets and was at a loss on his face, but he did not feel guilty.
"Xiaoming, Shi San and the others first followed Bao Ye's "East Expedition", and now they followed Feng Shuai's "East Expedition"..."
After a while, Liang Zhuangfang spoke: "I and Brother Bao have never made any new achievements since they entered Jinling last year... As soon as Deng Shuai was about to go south and bring a firearm, I discussed with Brother Bao to follow him... I deserved to die, and I killed Brother Bao..." As he said that, he was already crying loudly.
"How did you harm it? Who harmed it?"
"I don't know, I don't know, it's definitely related to the Zhou family..."
"Zhou Family?"
Huo Bao listened to strangers: "The Zhou family in Jinling?"
"No, it's the Zhou family in Lingshui... it's me... the uncle's family... they just muttered in my ears, saying that I would make more contributions and get promoted sooner, and marry my cousin with glory. I followed Deng Shuai south, and they also knew the time to set off..."
Liang Zhuang said, with a look of pain on his face.
When Huo Bao heard this, he remembered something.
After conquering Hezhou in September last year, Liang Zhuang once wanted to take leave to visit Lingshui, and seemed to mention the Zhou family.
Liang Zhuang, like Hou Xiaoming, was both a refugee orphan. In March last year, he was tricked into the Black Mang Mountain Python King Village by Xuejialiang Shop in the name of recruiting a friend in Jinling.
Just as Huo Wu and his son went up the mountain, Du Laoba's Mangwang Village returned to Mazhaizhu's Mangtou Village.
Huo Bao wanted to train child soldiers, and more than 40 children over ten years old and under sixteen were gathered in the two villages.
Half of them were children of two villages, and half were refugees orphans who were deceived into climbing the mountain.
Their parents and relatives died, and there were no relatives. Liang Zhuang had relatives alive, so he was his uncle and his future father-in-law.
However, after his parents died, his uncle's family also left the marriage without mentioning it. Liang Zhuang, who had no property in the family, followed the fleeing villagers to Jinling.
In Huo Bao's opinion, Liang Zhuang's uncle's family was cruel. Since they disliked Liang Zhuang, there was nothing worth remembering.
Liang Zhuang understood the difficulties of his uncle's family. It was not easy for anyone to have such a famine last year.
他还放下不下那门亲事……
陵水……
这其中有亳州军的手笔?
Huo Bao's heart sank, remembered his father's reaction, and asked, "Did you tell my father about these?"
Liang Zhuang nodded: "I said it, Master Wu asked me to tell you again..."
霍宝:“……”
Zhu Gang had already understood that the news was leaked from the Zhou family. He held the hilt of the knife and said, "Where is the Zhou family?"
Liang Zhuang shook his head: "I don't know... The fifth master asked someone to come over and arrest people, saying that the day the army sent troops, the whole family would leave..."
霍宝冷笑.
又往哪里走呢?
The biggest function of a farmer family is to find out the news from Liang Zhuang.
如今没了作用,留着做证人吗?
多半是埋骨长江底了.
只是陵水……
霍宝心下发颤.
是韩家知晓霍顺杀人之事报仇?
Or is Jiang Ping trying to destroy the alliance between the two sides?
