"Why don't you bring your weapons with you? Are you carrying that short knife for a stick? Do you have that short sword in your hand because you are afraid that others will not know that you have an iron weapon? ”

The old man's anger was really for the weapon, and it was also for the two of them to hold the wrong posture, Yuan Biao's anger suddenly attacked, and Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun didn't react.

Their attitude may have made Yuan Biao misunderstood, and he couldn't help but be even more annoyed, pointing to the noses of the two people and saying, "You think it's martial arts practice now, and you think it's not on the field of life and death, so you can just be casual?" Since you want to choose this bloody path, you can't let go from now on, do you know it! ”

In the end, the old man had already roared, Zhu Da didn't think Yuan Biao was nosy or nitpicky, the old man was so violent, naturally he had his reasons, Zhou Qingyun on the side hadn't reacted yet, and when he saw Zhu Da doing it, he also followed sullenly.

The stunned look of the teenagers made Yuan Biao think that the other party was dissatisfied or wanted to talk back, and was about to take this opportunity to teach a lesson, but he didn't want to do it obediently, and for a while there was some meaning of hitting the fist in the air, but the old man had experienced too much, and he took a breath to calm his mood.

"Don't use this in the dark, if you use this, you have to fight in close quarters, you can't fight with people for a long time with this kind of weapon, you must hide, you must take it by surprise, even if the other party sees this, you must hide your own movements...... Yuan Biao said.

He said two sentences seriously, and Zhu Da and the others could also listen attentively, but they didn't expect the old man to be deflated first, waved his hand and said, "I'm not in a hurry to learn so much, I will teach you slowly." ”

After finishing speaking, he bent down and put the dagger and short sword on Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, both in the left position, the old man seemed to remember something, he didn't chatter while doing it, but he was busy with meticulous movements.

Yuan Biao sighed after finishing it, Zhu Da naturally wouldn't be reckless in asking questions, but looking at the scar on the old man's face, thinking about the gaffe just now, Zhu Da didn't continue to think about it.

"Where the other party is prepared, it is not a hundred thousand urgent moments, before pulling out the short soldiers, you must shake it with your empty hands, so that you are more sure."

While speaking, Yuan Biao grabbed forward with his left hand, his movements were sharp and fast, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun both subconsciously dodged, but they didn't expect the old man's right hand to follow quickly, pointing at Zhu Da's chest, they dodged the previous action, and did not react to the next one at all.

"If the old man takes the household goods, you will die." Zhu Da was not too surprised by the old man's words.

In all fairness, Yuan Biao's words and action demonstrations were very convincing, but Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun both accepted it calmly, and the old man might be worried that if he didn't do this, the two teenagers would not listen, but he didn't expect Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun's honesty and eagerness to learn skills.

After teaching this, the old man fell silent, his face was not very good-looking, and he strode forward, Zhu Da could guess why, what happened just now should be a reminder of the past.

When the snow stopped, the north wind blew, and the sunlight shone through the gaps in the clouds, and the rays of the setting sun shone on the snow, much brighter than ever, and naturally it was much colder than when it snowed.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun had already changed their clothes at the side of the martial arts training yard and walked on the road dry, otherwise they would be blown up by the cold wind, and there was a great chance of getting a cold and cold, which was fatal.

At this time, Zheng Jiaji has begun to line up in front of several gates, Yuan Biao also has face here, he took Zhu Da and them swaggered through the checkpoint, the young men on duty laughed politely, and anyone could see their flattery and awe.

"These two boys are not ordinary! followed Qin Xiucai first, and then followed Yuan Ye...... "You can still hear such discussions behind you."

Everyone parted in front of the Qin family, and I don't know what the old man remembered, his face became more and more gloomy, and after nodding with Zhu Da, he went to take care of himself.

The Qin family said that the master was waiting in the study, Zhu Da and the others went directly, and Qin Xiucai, who was sitting there flipping through the books, raised his head and smiled: "What a coincidence, I just came back from the salt stack, don't be in a hurry to change your clothes, let's go outside together." ”

Of course Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun are willing, the last time they came to Zhengjiaji, they came and went in a hurry, and they either couldn't go out at home these days, or they only walked one way, and it was so bustling and lively outside, and they must have gained a lot from taking a look.

Over there, Qin Chuan was putting on a cotton robe, Zhu Da was waiting and observing, yesterday's conversation about the imperial examination seemed to have broken some things for Qin Xiucai, and also made Qin Chuan wake up something, and his mood fluctuated greatly, but from this morning to now, Qin Xiucai behaved no different from usual, as if that deep conversation had never happened.

After the three of them left the house, they ran into Qin Qin, who was with the servant, the girl was very tightly wrapped, pouting, and her face was full of reluctance.

"Well, Dad will take you out in a few days, and stay at home with Aunt Cui with peace of mind." Qin Xiucai smiled and comforted, but the girl didn't appreciate it very much, so she turned her head and ran away after a blank look.

Qin Xiucai didn't care about his daughter's temper, walked in front with his hands behind his back, and took Zhu Da and them out of the door, as soon as Qin Chuan came out of the courtyard, there were three strong men who followed back and forth, and these three people did not have the intention of hiding their identities, they held the weapons in their hands openly, and looked around vigilantly.

On the contrary, Qin Xiucai had a leisurely demeanor, nodded and greeted passers-by from time to time, and said with a smile after walking a few steps: "You two don't need to be so vigilant, didn't you see the people sent by Yanzhan?" Lean in, lean in. ”

Zhu Da never regarded himself as a young master, and he also made it very clear to Zhou Qingyun that Qin Xiucai's safety was closely related to their future, and Qin Chuan should be protected as much as possible.

Although the two teenagers' strength is very limited, after all, they have also killed people and know martial arts, and they are often considered harmless at this age, if there is really any situation, it may not be useless, Zhu Da thought very clearly, and Qin Xiucai could also realize it.

Having said that, Zhu Da makes decisions for Zhou Qingyun in many things, but he doesn't think the other party is a fool, Zhou Qingyun is one year older than him, his knowledge and experience are very limited, and his personality is also naïve and simple, but Zhu Da knows that Zhou Qingyun doesn't understand many things, he may not think very thoroughly, but he judges the stakes very clearly, understands how to choose, and knows how to do it.

With the guards sent by Yanzhan, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun are indeed not so nervous, but their performance as guards is not only for safety, but also for an attitude.

Approaching Qin Xiucai's side, Zhu Da followed on the right hand side, and Zhou Qingyun was on Zhu Da's right hand side, walking half a step behind.

Although it was a trivial matter, Qin Chuan obviously noticed that although Qin Xiucai was very bookish, he was polite and thorough in dealing with people, even for children.

"Qingyun, come here." He greeted casually.

Zhou Qingyun didn't seem to hear this ordinary sentence, Qin Xiucai said it with a smile again, Zhou Qingyun turned his head and replied in a sullen voice: "Mr. Qin, I'm fine here." ”

This answer made Qin Chuan stunned, shook his head and smiled, but did not continue to greet him, just patted Zhu Da's shoulder, looking quite approving. Zhu Da looked at both sides, his expression was calm, this scene just now was very delicate, it was better to pretend that nothing had happened.

"Zheng Jiaji was not originally called Zheng Jiaji, it was an unnamed village on the side of the road, in the former Mengyuan Dynasty, the mouth to the grassland is a country, just take the thoroughfare, such a remote place is not much to pay attention to, when the ancestors of this dynasty became the ancestors, our Ming soldiers and horses were killed on the grassland, and the Tartars were driven away, and they didn't worry about anything, this is still a deserted village......" Qin Xiucai didn't walk fast, but began to explain the past of Zheng Jiaji to Zhu Da.

The street in front of Yanzhan and Qinjiamen is the most prosperous road in Zhengjiaji, not only the guys greet them attentively, but also the details are also done well, there is snow elsewhere, and the snow on this road has been swept away, and there are many people wandering on the road.

The first time I came to Zhengjiaji, it was already dark when I entered the enclosure, and I only saw the liveliness and lights of the night tour, and now the sun has not yet set, so I can see more details.

The pedestrians on the street are very mixed, all kinds of costumes, local and foreign, officials and merchants, and even Mongolians, Zhu Da not only observes, but also listens carefully to their conversations, many people come from Huairen County and the surrounding areas, specially come here to eat, drink and have fun.

“..... There are a lot of girls here, and there are few people on the stage, and those in the county town are all serving the ...... of the yamen" But someone happened to pass by when someone said this.

Qin Xiucai looked at Zhu Da with a smile and explained: "Zheng Jiaji's casino commission is half lower than that of other places, and it doesn't make tricks inside, people outside like to come and play." ”

Naturally, he wouldn't explain to the teenagers that "there are many girls", of course, Zhu Da knew what was going on, and Qin Xiucai turned the topic back again: "After the Tumu Fort time, the Ming Dynasty has little chance of winning against Mongolia, and if he is not careful, he will be hit by the Tartars, so he has no choice but to fortify it layer by layer, and build one guard post after another, the road between Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty is not easy to walk, and this Zheng Jiaji will prosper....."

While speaking, I have passed by a courtyard gate, the gate is open, the guests come in and out, you can hear the excitement inside outside, there are a few young guards in front of the door, knives and sticks and other weapons are placed on the side of the wall, these people are quite slack, looking at the eyes of the people and others are not so much vigilant and vigilant, but to kill boredom, they did not dare to slack off after seeing Qin Xiucai, several people are bowing down to laugh, Qin Xiucai just nodded.

“...... The caravans that came out of the guard were not familiar with the south, and the caravans from the south did not dare to go to the border wall war zone, so everyone chose a midpoint to trade with each other, and each took what he needed......
