Chapter 39: The Heart of a Loving Father

Whether it is Deng Jian, Tu San or Huo Wu, they are all calm.

No matter how Xue Biao took the lead in this night banquet, no one took the initiative. He just passed by the gossip, and no one went to the right place.

After three rounds of wine, everyone will be placed on the spot in the military camp.

Huo Bao rested in the same place by serving his father.

"If Deng Jian stretches it down, your third uncle will not be able to get off the stage." Huo Wu whispered to his son.

Tu San really doesn't have an advantage in negotiations between these two parties, so who has given him the leader of Marshal Liu?

Even if he promised anything, Marshal Liu would not admit it, and there was no way for everyone to do so.

Deng Jian should have been so hesitant because he was worried about this.

"Uncle Deng is afraid that he will make things difficult for him. He sends out less people, keeps more people, and has a heavy burden on food and grass. He gives out more people and has weak self-protection ability. He may be annexed by others when he turns back.

It's just that.

"If he is really embarrassed, he will not let you pass the message. He is just to make the conditions tomorrow. Let's see, even your third uncle knows it." Huo Wu was gloating in his breath.

“…”

Huo Bao couldn't help but feel worried: "Will the third uncle be angry?"

"What annoyed? He wants to stand firm under Marshal Liu's command, and he still has to rely on these people in the future, so he can't get upset." Huo Wu disagreed.

The next day, Deng Jian had dark eyes and looked like he had not yet had a good sleep. He did not delay any further. He directly asked Tu San to talk to each other in private, and only Huo Wu and his son were accompanying the guests.

"From cousin Huo, we are not outsiders. I can understand the difficulties of the third brother of the disciple, and my difficulties are all in the eyes of the third brother of the disciple. I thought about it for a long time last night, but I couldn't think of a way to achieve both worlds. To be honest, if the third brother of the disciple is able to make the decision, it would be easy to say anything. I have nothing to believe in, but if this is mixed with others, I always have to think twice and protect myself."

Tu San said seriously: "I understand Brother Deng's concerns, so I ask my brother-in-law and Xiaobao to testify. From today on, I am willing to watch over Brother Deng and help each other and advance and retreat. If someone is not kind to Brother Deng in the future, my brother will be in front of me; if my brother has bad intentions and plots against Brother Deng, I will discipline me and be disgusted with heaven and earth, and there will be no good ending!"

Deng Jian listened carefully and nodded, "If I dare to say the third brother of the disciple, I dare to listen. Cousin Huo and Xiaobao will also testify to me. As long as the third brother of the disciple does not let me down, I will not let the third brother of the disciple down. If I violate this oath, I will be with a knife and an axe, and there will be no place to die."

The two of them were not bleeding, but once the poisonous oath was established, the covenant was also established.

The two are about the same age, and this alliance has a little more mutual appreciation.

The Huo family father and son looked at each other and understood that the foreplay was almost the same, and the next price was to be offered.

"I have a bad temper and are not a sleek person. I am too lazy to go out and make trouble. I just want to guard Quyang's three-point land." Deng Jian said.

"That's a pity, but since it's Brother Deng's choice, I won't talk too much."

"My hometown is Binjiang... Although my relatives are broken, it is the place where the ancestors are blessed and they don't want to be occupied by outsiders..."

Tu San was silent. Chuzhou had only four counties in total, and Deng Jian wanted two counties when he opened his mouth.

Lingshui is already under the jurisdiction of Baishan Army, and Marshal Liu is concerned about the entire Chuzhou area, not half of it.

Qu Yang was already in Deng Jian's hands, so it was nothing to agree to go out, but the geographical location of Binjiang was important.

"My third brother also saw it, but there weren't even a helper for a few young brothers in the squad... I asked with a thick face, could I leave Cousin Huo and Xiaobao behind... Binjiang is not only the ancestral land of our Deng family, but also the fifth place. The Huo family's ancestral land is... The two of them went to Binjiang. What's wrong with Huainan Road in the future? You and my brother also have a way out..." Deng Jian said earnestly.

Before Tu San could react, Huo Wu waved his hand and said, "No, no! We are here to testify today, why are we still having something to do? Even if we leave Black Python Mountain, we will either follow the third brother or follow you. It would be great if our relatives are together. There is no reason to be separated after we get together!"

Huo Bao's face also showed a bit of surprise.

Tu San saw it and understood his brother-in-law's concerns.

I feel sorry for my parents all over the world. My brother-in-law is old and I don’t worry about Xiaobao. I want to be by my side or Deng Jian’s cousin just to have someone to entrust me to the moment.

However, Deng Jian was not the candidate who proposed casually. Binjiang was behind Quyang, and he could encircle Quyang by echoing the prefecture.

If Binjiang fell into the hands of others, Deng Jian would really not be at ease.

Deng Jian's last statement of "the way out" also made Tu San moved.

He led twenty-four people to leave Bozhou and took the initiative to "recover" Quyang. It was because he was excluded and had no place to gain a foothold, so he had no choice but to go south to find another way out.

Now that I have not attacked Chuzhou, Tu San has to figure out the follow-up.

Marshal Liu went back on his word once, and there was a second time. Instead of betting on Marshal Liu's conscience, it would be better to keep yourself in good faith.

Thinking of this, Tu San looked at Huo Wu and advised: "Brother-in-law will help us. Binjiang is only thirty miles away from Quyang and only 80 miles away from the prefecture, only half a day away..."

Huo Wu frowned and looked at the two of them: "You two are so worried that Marshal Liu is not at ease, so they will occupy Chuzhou by themselves, half of each person is. What do you do and have to hire a big Buddha on your head?"

This question was straightforward. If I hadn't really been close to the two of them, I wouldn't have asked this.

Tu San smiled bitterly and said, "My brother-in-law had contacted the people in the village before. I don't know the weight of the monks in the hearts of the folk believers. In the eyes of the people, the monks are the Buddhist missionaries in the mortal world. No matter how respectful they are, they cannot be wrong. The white-shirted army is all gathered by the monks, and they respect the monks."

Deng Jian also showed a little frustration on his face: "The Maitreya Cult has been well preached over the years, not only in the White-Shirt Army, but also in the county soldiers."

"It's amazing. If you are the leader of the teaching staff, you don't have to worry about anything. You can take advantage of all the advantages..." Huo Wu said disapprovingly: "Don't be too honest in the future. You two are still disliked for nothing. Why bother?"

Neither Tu San nor Deng Jian responded.

Tu San felt sad. He truly believed in Buddha and was willing to do his best to be peaceful for the people, but as my brother-in-law said, he was disliked for nothing.

If he hadn't had his military recruitment performance that was too good and that Marshal Liu's nephew was afraid, he would not have been persecuted by slander and almost lost his life.

Deng Jian's face was heavy, but he glanced at Huo Wuyi.

Is this just a casual "word of concern"? Or is there any intention to provoke?

At this moment, Tu San let go of the soreness in his heart and begged again: "Brother-in-law, please help us... Brother Deng's relatives are cut off, and I am alone here. The only one who can entrust the way out is the only brother-in-law..."

Huo Wu still frowned, thought for a while, and said, "I can listen to you, but I am a rough man, I'm afraid I can't take care of anything. You have to agree to my two conditions..."

Tu San and Deng Jian both looked at Huo Wu.

"Brother-in-law just say it."

"Cousin Huo, you said!"

"San'er, please leave two helpers and me... Shui Jin and Xue Biao, Shui Boy is a man who can lead troops, Xue Biao's logistics is a good player..." Huo Wu said to the disciples first.

"Okay, let's listen to my brother-in-law." Tu San replied happily.

Tu San's men did not lack talent for leading troops, but instead there were no capable people around Huo Wu and his son.

Deng Jian's face became dark.

What are the Huo family and son making trouble?

Such a condition is to give the territory to the three of you for free?

Could it be that their father and son sang a double act with the three disciples to deceive themselves?
