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

There are more than a thousand and dozens of people, but now there are less than four hundred people left in Quyang.

Fifty people followed Zhu Xiaoer to Songjiang, one hundred people were by Hou Xiaoming and Li Yuan, and went to Changzhou, and two hundred people were repairing warehouses in Binjiang.

Another fifty people were in Jinling and three hundred were in the grain transport team.

However, even if only one-third are left, the Scouts still practice according to the rules every day and dare not slackew.

Liang Zhuang, the left-behind spear captain, was as famous as his twin brothers, all of whom were black and strong.

The Black Python Mountain child soldiers had just been formed, and the young men were not convinced by Huo Bao, the airborne leader.

In order to shock the young men, Huo Bao threw a huge rock, saying that the one that could be lifted could be replaced by himself. The first person to come out to lift the stone was Liang Zhuang.

He was the one who was not convinced that Huo Bao came out to challenge him. He couldn't lift the stone and knew that Huo Bao was really strong, and the first one to obey was his, and he was very straightforward.

With such a personality, being a captain is OK, but coordinating the overall situation is a clever disadvantage.

But there is no choice now, so Huo Bao can only take Liang Zhuang north.

"Select two hundred people with good physical strength and follow me to the north... You can choose a deputy to stay in Quyang for training..." Huo Bao ordered.

"Get orders!" Liang Zhuang responded.

Since the Scouts formed the army, except for the first batch and the second batch, Huo Bao personally led 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 training and have time to do something else; the disadvantage is that you are not familiar with newcomers, so you can leave the inspection to several backbones.

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

A large division divided the Hei Python Mountain Gang and the Quyang Gang.

In the Black Python Mountain, there are also three gangs of refugee boys, such as Mangtou Village, Mangwang Village, and Vacant Young People.

In the Quyang Gang, there were also soldiers from county towns and rural areas.

With so many people, Huo Bao didn't take it in his heart.

Now the scouts are all "frogs in the well". What they see is the world in front of them. When they go out in the future, 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 he could not let the soldiers below forget who was the real leader.

"Are you cousin here?"

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

Huo Bao stood up and came out.

In just half a month, Xiuxiu's face had a baby fat off and she looked like a little girl.

"Why have you lost so much weight?" Huo Bao was surprised.

"Grandpa is sick..." The little girl had a little worried.

"What disease? Is it better?" Huo Bao's heart raised.

Among them, some of them are really thinking about the kind and generous old man, and some of them are worried that the situation in Quyang will change.

Mr. Deng seems to have only a false name for the first time, but the actual weight is quite high.

With Deng Jian's filial piety, if Mr. Deng is really seriously ill, even if he knows that he offended Marshal Liu, he will leave him with illness.

"The male member of the Huang Juren family was executed for his crime of rebellion a few days ago!"

"Has the old man pleaded with me?"

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

Huo Bao could not stay there and said, "Then let's go and see the old man!"

He wanted to wait for Huo Wuyi to arrive before and go to Sifang Inn together, but now he is incredible.

I don’t get along for long, no matter what Mr. Deng’s purpose is, it’s really good to be nice to him.

"Grandpa cares about you, so I will definitely be happy to see you!"

The little girl's tone was a little sour: "Grandpa must want a boy, so he will be nice to you! Humph! Why did we say before that our family doesn't value boys over girls, but they are actually coaxing people!"

Huo Bao smiled and didn't know how to explain to the little girl.

Everyone has close ties and closeness. No matter how good the old man is to Huo Bao, he will never go beyond his granddaughter. It is because of his good deeds to Huo Bao, not because of his liking, but also because of his granddaughter.

Huo Bao took out the peach wood sword from his purse and handed it over: "This is the light that has been opened on Maoshan Deyou Temple, which can suppress the soul and ward off evil spirits."

The little peach wood sword was cute and the little girl answered happily and said, "Thank you, cousin!"

Looking at the little girl's two maids, Huo Bao was uncontrollably and reached out to touch her.

The little girl tilted her head to avoid it, frowned and said, "Cousin, don't think I'm a child, grandpa said I'm the eldest daughter!"

Huo Bao sneered and touched his nose.

Big daughter, four-foot tall daughter?

The two of them went to Sifang Inn together.

Sifang Inn has taken the guise and is not open for business.

Huo Bao felt uneasy and was worried about Mr. Deng's condition.

Mr. Deng's face was pale, his cheeks were fleshless, he had a few more frowns on his forehead, and his clothes were much more scattered.

However, unlike what Huo Bao thought about, Mr. Deng sat in the tea room, sitting at the Eight Immortals table and ate tea in front of a set of purple clay tea utensils.

When the old man saw Huo Bao coming in, he was not surprised and called out, "Xiaobao comes here to sit..." and said to Xiuxiu, "Go and buy two packs of snacks and tea, it must be salty, Xiaobao doesn't like sweet food."

"Grandpa is partial, I insist on buying two packets of sweet ones, namely the crabapple and the red bean cake!" The little girl snorted at Huo Bao and turned around and went out.

Huo Bao sat down opposite Mr. Deng, not knowing how to comfort him.

Killing Huang Juren's family is to "cut off the weeds and roots" and also to "kill chickens and scare monkeys".

Everyone understands the truth, but the human heart is full of flesh.

In order to take into account the mood of his father-in-law, Deng Jian was willing to let the Huang family live; but Mr. Deng was the one who killed people in order not to leave trouble for his son-in-law.

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

The old man sighed: "I'm old, I can't stand the trouble anymore, so I'll let Xiaobao laugh at it."

Huo Bao quickly shook his head: "Does the friendship that has lasted for decades be lost? But in your heart, you can't bear to part with your cousin. Xiuxiu is in a little danger... If it were my father, it would be like this..."

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "There is no turning back... I can't protect them, and all I can do is not cause trouble..."

Huo Bao hurriedly said, "You are here, Zhenshan Taisui! I just came back from my father today. My father complained that there were few people in the riverside and were not enough. But look at my cousin, the kins were cut off, so there was really a shortage of people. Apart from a few thousand households, I couldn't choose people to use them."

Huo Bao only felt that the words said in the past two days were more than in the previous few months.

This is true for Aunt Huo Liu and Mr. Deng.

When people get old, they are lonely and they are bound to think randomly. Heart disease requires medical treatment. "Being needed" is a good prescription.

Mr. Deng was indeed worried about his son-in-law and raised his eyebrows and said, "It was all caused by Deng Ren's bastard, otherwise the Deng family would have always been able to take two children with him!"

With Deng Ren in front, he had no kindness to Deng Jian and his daughter. In order to save trouble, Mr. Deng could only suppress all these people.

"I wonder if my cousin intends to accept disciples? If he accepts disciples, he can transfer tigers over! He is honest and not clever, but Sister Juzi is more lustful. This time my father came out, he arranged for her to guard Binjiang." Huo Bao thought for a while.

There are so many people in Binjiang County.

The so-called few people are because Huo Wu, Xue Biao and the old monk coexist, and they cannot be united. They must support each other and be wary of each other.

The younger generation, the people over there exceeded the standard.

Binjiang County is in the rear of Chuzhou. Unless the imperial court dispatches troops from Jiangnan to quell the rebellion, it will be in the rear, comfortable and stable, and there is no need to hold the younger generation there.

In contrast, Quyang County is too short of people.

The juniors were all in the Scouts, and Deng Jian had only a few thousand households under him, and no one followed him.

Ma Koonzi's previous little thoughts were unpleasant, but just like the cliques in the Scouts, these were just small internal conflicts.

Even if the foal was transferred to Quyang County, the tiger would have a chance to become a disciple, and they could not climb onto Huo Bao's head.

The geographical location of Quyang is sandwiched between the prefecture and the riverside, so it is really impossible to make flowers.

When Mr. Deng heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved, but hesitated: "Isn't it kind to dig your father's corner like this?"

Huo Bao said frankly: "It's not someone else! Didn't my father even dig Uncle Xue Qi and Brother Shui from my third uncle? One is a wallet and the other is the third uncle's right-hand man. My father is not polite!"

Mr. Deng smiled and joked with Huo Bao: "It's said 'one daughter and three thieves', and your son is also a thief when you come to you! Your father must know that it's your idea, and he's afraid he's going to cry!"

Huo Bao said: "My father loves me, even if he can't bear to leave me, he will definitely follow me! I'm not thinking about transporting food, and I need someone to take charge! My cousin is right here, so you always feel relieved and help me."

Mr. Deng’s stall is not as big as Xue Biao. It may be the first of a county chamber of commerce and pushing a child to the position of a county’s headmaster is not for nothing.

The food transportation will take several months, and the salt and iron incident will follow. Instead of occupying a Huo Bao, it would be better to ask Mr. Deng to come out.

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

If Mr. Deng is replaced, there is no need to worry about this problem.

At the same time, Mr. Deng was asked to watch this business and solved the hidden dangers of building the warehouse in Binjiang County.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to guarantee that someone would inspire Deng Jian’s ears.
