"At the end of March, the imperial court dispatched troops from Shandong to attack Xuzhou... Xuzhou is only 400 miles away from Bozhou..." Huo Baodao.

Even if the army is slow to move, it should arrive in Xuzhou by the end of April.

It has been more than three months since then, but he has not fought but besieged the city and has also taken over Xuzhou.

If the imperial army continued to go south to suppress the rebellion, it would not be facing Bozhou.

The Mazhai Lord looked even more solemn.

If that is the case, it will be even more terrifying than the civil storm in Bozhou.

If Bozhou is in trouble, Chuzhou will not be able to defend at all unless all the people stationed in Binjiang are transferred back.

"Wait for the news first, and don't have to send a message to Binjiang first, so as to save a false alarm." said the leader of the Mazhai Village.

Huo Bao nodded, and that's what he meant.

Calculate the time, the main force of the Chuzhou army went south for four days.

Huo Wu and others were already stationed in Binjiang to prepare for war.

Tang Guang's troops have entered Xiaoheshan.

It is estimated that by the end of the half month, several other troops would enter Hezhou and attack several county towns respectively.

"From tomorrow, the camp will be trained, and the city gate guards will double, so you can't capsize in the gutter!"

The Ma Village Master made a decision.

...

The next morning, Huo Bao went to the Children's Barracks early to talk to Hou Xiaoming and Huo Bao.

"Today, I sent a scout to the north and northeast to investigate to see if there were unknown teams entering Chuzhou!"

Huo Bao first ordered Hou Xiaoming.

"Ode to the Lord!"

Huo Bao looked at Huo Bao again: "Zhu Gang and the others are not here, you are responsible for the training, and all the members of the Wolf Warrior Camp are in preparation for the war."

Hou Xiaoming and Huo Bao were shocked.

"Which family in the city wants to cause trouble?" Huo Bao said.

"What a courage!"

Hou Xiaoming was already holding the knife handle, with anger.

Recruiting staff soldiers is the first order from Master Bao. If someone dares to make trouble, it is just a slap in the face of Master Bao, which is really unwilling tolerate.

"Don't be impatient, the crisis is not in the city..."

Huo Bao talked about the abnormal things in Bozhou.

Huo Bao said: "Uncle Bao, Bozhou is too far away, and it is inconvenient to find out the news. Should I send someone to Lingshui? Is there any news on Lingshui?"

Huo Bao nodded: "Uncle Six sent two groups of people out last night, one to Bozhou and the other to Lingshui... I have to wait these days! You two are tight-knit!"

Huo Bao and Hou Xiaoming responded seriously.

Li Yuan is here.

It wasn't because I heard something, but because I was a little worried about the young master soldier who had just entered the camp.

"You have to keep an eye on it, save yourself aside from the mistakes and let Master Bao down!"

Huo Bao thought for a while and said, "The recruits are in the first month, no leave is allowed, and no camp is allowed!"

If there is a threat outside, the city must not be in chaos anymore.

With these gentry children in their hands, each family can be more honest.

Li Yuan didn't think so much, just thought Huo Bao wanted to temper the arrogance of these young masters, and smiled and said, "It's better that Master Bao has a way... Our recruits are really hard to train for three or five days. They may be like before. They find a reason to not come when they go home... After a month, the waste will be almost done!"

...

On the official road a hundred miles away from Chuzhou.

A team winds through.

The man in the leader had a bald head, his forehead was shiny, and he rode on the horse and touched his stomach.

A moment later, someone rushed forward: "Marson, I bought the steamed bun, hurry up and put it on!"

A cloth pocket contains several black grain steamed buns.

The man turned over and dismounted, turned around and looked at the people around him.

All the followers' eyes fell on their cloth pockets and swallowed their saliva.

Looking further back, the soldiers were all weak and stood shakingly.

"You can't continue like this! If you continue like this, the men will starve to death if they don't run away! Let's rest on the spot and kill the horses!" the leader said.

"The Marshal...there is another forty miles to be Lingshui...It's good to arrive at Lingshui..." The people around him comforted him.

"Lingshui... don't go to Lingshui! Lingshui has been drought for many years... Hanyang's 3,000 people cannot provide food for chewing, and they even ask for food from Bozhou..."

The bald leader hesitated and looked in another direction.

"Go to Chuzhou! We will meet Mr. Huo Wu!"

...

The whole Chuzhou is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and nothing is seen.

The number of defenders at the city gate increased, and everyone no longer made a fuss like last time.

The main force of the Chuzhou soldiers set off, and the little marshal made trouble for the gentry. I don’t know whose family they prepared for.

...

Huo Bao returned to the prefecture yamen before noon and took Xiuxiu to the Beijing Weilou Building.

I agreed yesterday, but I couldn't say anything.

Xiuxiu said: "I will take a day off today, and I will sort out the account books tomorrow..."

"Well! Is there any news about Grandpa Deng Jinling?"

"Last month, Mr. Jia borrowed 10,000 taels of silver and used it urgently. It seemed to be in order to re-office, and it was paid back in a few days."

When Mr. Deng went to Jinling, Huo Wu personally sent someone to deliver a letter to Jia Yuan and Shi Jin, and asked the two families to take care of one or two.

As soon as he heard about the official affairs, Huo Bao understood.

The thousand households who went south before must have been unable to take up their posts.

Jia Yuan spent money to get in touch with the prefect and replenished thousands of households on behalf of thousands of households.

Huo Bao was silent for a moment.

This method fills the gap...

It's really hard to say black and white in this world.

After talking, the two arrived at the Beijing Weilou Building.

Manager Guo is here and comes to greet him in person.

"Bao Master..."

When he saw Xiuxiu clearly, his expression was a little stiff.

Huo Bao introduced to Xiuxiu: "This is Manager Guo, the descendant of the Imperial Chef..." He said to Manager Guo: "This is my cousin, Mr. Deng's daughter, who came up from Quyang yesterday..."

Manager Guo hurriedly said, "It's Miss Deng..."

Xiuxiu was reserved, nodded to Manager Guo, and followed Huo Bao upstairs.

...

"What do Xiuxiu want to eat?"

"Si Xisha Mai needs it, and there is also a shrimp roll that is crispy and delicious. My cousin looks at it."

The little girl is very straightforward.

Huo Bao looked at Manager Guo: "In addition to these two dishes, add a few more signature dishes and add two plates of desserts."

Manager Guo agreed and would not mention it if he went down.

Xiuxiu leaned over and whispered, "Cousin, he recognized me, but I don't know how much he pretended not to recognize me? Could it be that because my grandfather quarreled with his father, he also held a grudge?"

Huo Bao looked at Xiuxiu, Xu was ten years old, and the year before yesterday was six years old.

This little face is round, and it should be a little different from the age of six or ten.

It is not uncommon to recognize people you have met.

It's just that I don't know each other, it's really a bit strange!

...

Guo Zhang An is indeed strange. After arranging the menu in the private room, he hurried to the back door.

The Guo family has a shop in front and back, and the old house is connected to the shop.

"Dad, Master Bao is here and he also brought the Deng family's granddaughter!"

When he saw Mr. Guo, the shopkeeper Guo was worried and said, "Can you... know what happened back then?"

Mr. Guo is studying the dry and wet rice noodles in a special kitchen.

The old man is old and never grows old. If he wants to help his grandson, he will study it quietly with his grandson on his back.

After hearing his son's words, he frowned and said, "It's just that the marriage has not been completed. There is no place in our family that we are sorry for others. Why do you feel guilty?"

Manager Guo said embarrassedly: "Who would have thought that there would be today... Uncle Deng's son-in-law is now the first person under Marshal Huo..."

In the past two months, everyone has also inquired about the relationship between the upper class of Chuzhou Army and learned about the marriage between Huo and Deng Lian.

Mr. Guo glared at his son: "Do you regret it? I blame me for not agreeing to let Old Deng be his mistress be his son-in-law?"

Manager Guo shook his head quickly.

The Guo family has no worries about food and drink, and there is no reason to recruit their descendants.

Mr. Deng was drunk last time, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned this matter rashly.

Just mentioning this is a taboo of Mr. Guo.

Not only because of the flesh and blood, but also the inheritance of the Guo family.

Guo Jiazhao's craftsmanship has been passed down from generation to generation, and the most outstanding person in each generation is the heir.

The mistress of the Guo family is the heir chosen by Mr. Guo as his grandchildren.

I started practicing wrist strength and knife skills at the age of five, and I have learned a lot in my teens.

Mr. Deng fell in love with the mistress, and took advantage of his drunkenness to ask for a son-in-law.

Mr. Guo got angry and said a few hurtful words, but the two parted in disagreement.

...

Seeing that his son was uneasy, Mr. Guo shook his head and said, "It was just a drunken word at the beginning... Why are you guilty? You have seen Marshal Huo and his son. Are you the one who takes his anger at will?"

Mr. Guo was silent.

If the Sui family "want to rebel in their hearts", they can be convicted. Who dares to touch the little tiger's beard?

He was in a bad relationship, and his mistress became his companion.

If the little marshal feels that he is deceiving himself, he might be really upset.

What a man?

No matter how old or old, I can't stand the color change of the hat.

It doesn't seem to be discolored.

Mr. Guo was so amused and unbuttoned, and said, "You can't hide this matter... Otherwise, you will really have a thorn in the future!"

"father?"

"I'm going to say it's going to be better soon, Old Deng's stubborn donkey... Alas, I'm not virtuous, so I shouldn't expose my shortcomings in person..."

Mr. Guo said he wanted to find Huo Bao and made it clear, but he did not go directly to interrupt.

After Huo Bao finished his meal, he asked the waiter to pay, and Mr. Guo went there.

When he saw the little girl, the old man showed some kindness: "Girl Xiuxiu, do you still remember Grandpa Guo?"

Xiuxiu glanced at Huo Bao, smiled and nodded, "Remember, Grandpa Guo gave me a hollow peony flower silver incense ball last time..."

Even if he left the Beijing Flavor Building, he asked Mr. Deng to put it away and did not allow his granddaughter to wear it again.

Mr. Guo nodded and looked at Huo Bao and said, "Mr. Bao has no time to do it, can you say a few words to me?"

Huo Bao was puzzled in his heart and asked Xiuxiu to sit down for a while and came out with Mr. Guo.

Without leaving, there was a tea room on the second floor.

Mr. Guo smiled bitterly and said, "It's also because I have no virtue. I have committed a verbal crime back then and offended my old friend... It's just that Old Deng has always been the lifeblood of Xiuxiu's girl. Why did Xiuxiu come to Chuzhou? Why didn't he come with me?"

If I really follow you, I'm afraid I won't let my granddaughter come to Beijing Weilou for dinner.

Several of the Guo family's children and grandchildren are in the White Army, not outsiders.

Huo Bao said: "The Deng family's grandfather is in Jinling, helping to take care of the food transportation..."

Two old men in their fifties broke off their relationship just because of verbal talk?

There must be something bad about this.

Manager Guo was nervous when he saw him just now, probably because of this.

Mr. Guo poured a cup of tea for Huo Bao and said carefully: "Old Deng and I have been friends for many years. Even the kitchen of his Sifang Inn, they are all my disciples and disciples... That year, when he went to Chuzhou, I welcomed him at the Beijing Weilou, and cooked a few dishes by myself, and the two of them drank too much..."

"He was worried about Xiuxiu girl, and was talking about recruiting a son-in-law. My mistress was doing chores by my side at that time, so he fell in love with the mistress... A good friend of many years, if Lao Deng talks about other children, I would not be upset. This mistress is not good. The mistress is the best qualified among grandchildren. In the future, he will inherit the old man's legacy..."

"At that time, a Taibai Building was fighting with our shop. He used all kinds of means that he could not get on the table. He almost couldn't keep it. When Old Deng mentioned this, I couldn't stand it. He thought he was going to take the blame... I also started to be drunk and said that Old Deng had a strong life, which ruined his family and wanted to harm others..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Guo sighed and said, "I figured it out later. It was just a coincidence that I misunderstood Lao Deng... It's just that I can't bear to pay for it over the years, right?"

Huo Bao was speechless.

This is really hard to comment on right and wrong.

Mr. Deng’s proposal for marriage is not considered rash.

But seeing that the Guo family has a good family style and a kind child, he uses the intention of drinking to test.

Guo Xiaosan is the eldest son of the house, and his father and brothers are at home at one time; brothers are at home at one time, so the family income they can get is limited.

However, the Deng family has a shop and a house, and they become a son-in-law and take up their own share.

But the one who was chosen was the successor of the Guo family and was at the checkpoint where the Guo family restaurant was about to go bankrupt, so it was difficult not to misunderstand it.

Mr. Guo was angry and said like a knife, stabbing him right away.

Mr. Deng lost his parents when he was young, his wife when he was middle-aged, and his daughter when he was old. His horoscope was often gossiped about.

My confidant and friend pointed at her nose and said this, but she couldn't stand it even if she thought about it. No wonder she chose not to interact with each other until she was old.

Huo Bao knew in his heart that Mr. Guo said these old things were not for him to reconcile with Mr. Deng.

It was to explain clearly to myself that the Guo and Deng families almost got married, so that they could cause trouble if they were ambiguity.

He really doesn't care.

Not to mention Mr. Deng’s wishful thinking, even the Guo family was happy at that time, it was not a mistake.

At that time, he was still in Nanshan Village and had no idea that he had a distant relative of the Deng family.

"It's all a misunderstanding, just solve it in the future... I guess I regret it because I'm not really annoyed..."

If you are really angry, and say a few words to Deng Jian, how could you not hold grudges with Deng Jian's filial piety?
