43. Become a bodyguard
The two followed Ba Ye into the back door of the Weifeng Martial Arts Hall, and a group of children in the backyard were practicing basic skills, and they all saluted respectfully when they saw Ba Ye. After dealing with the child, Ba Ye turned his head and rubbed his slightly red and swollen jaw, grinned and said, "Man San really didn't talk nonsense, he said that you are good at kung fu, I still don't believe it." Brother, what kind of school do you inherit from this kung fu master?"
Brother Lian said vaguely: "The younger brother's family tradition, I love to ponder, and I can't get into a system when I fight indiscriminately." ”
Seeing that Brother Lian didn't want to say more, Ba Ye had to say: "Little brother, after being a bodyguard this time, would you like to come to our Mighty Martial Arts Hall to be a martial artist? ”
Brother Lian said modestly: "Master Ba has lifted me, I can have a place to settle in the capital, and the younger brother will be satisfied, how dare I pick three or four." ”
"So it's decided, after the bodyguard is done, come to our martial arts hall, and I'll keep the place for you. ”
"Thank you. ”
Ba Ye took the two to the front yard of the martial arts hall, and a group of half-sized children in the front yard were practicing boxing. There was a man in a practice uniform sitting on the stone bench under the tree by the courtyard wall, and when he saw the three of them coming, he immediately stood up, and his tall and strong figure suddenly compared everyone to him.
Ba Ye pointed at him and introduced the two of them: "This is Hou Jie, a native of Chengwu County." ”
He pointed to Lian Di and Ye Yanshan and said: "These two are Ye Shan and the year, the people of Cangshan Village, Daxing County. The three of you are so close and close, and this time it is only the four of us who have passed from the Mighty Martial Arts Pavilion. ”
Although Hou Jie was strong, he looked easy-going in character, he didn't speak, but he bowed to the two brothers very formally, and the two hurriedly returned the salute.
Ba Ye said: "Cheng Qiwu Pavilion sent ten bodyguards over last time, Master Fan asked me to send ten more, Cheng Qiwu Pavilion is not enough qualified people, ask for help from our Weifeng Martial Arts Hall." But our martial arts hall just sent a group of people to the Wantong Dart Bureau two days ago to help with darts, and now there are no more people, since the three of you are looking for something to do, and your skills are not weak, just be my people from the Mighty Martial Arts Hall, and I will take you to the Cheng Qi Martial Arts Hall later, and go to Master Fan with their people. When you get to Master Fan, don't fall into the prestige of our martial arts hall. ”
Hou Jie only replied lightly with one word: "Yes." ”
Brother Lian hurriedly said: "Don't worry, this errand is over, I will go back to the martial arts hall, how will I not let the mighty martial arts hall lose face." ”
Only then did Ba Ye nod with satisfaction and said, "Let's go, I'll take you over." ”
The four of them went to the Cheng Qi Martial Arts Hall to meet the other six people, Ba Ye was the leader, and a group of ten people went to Fan's mansion.
Brother Lian looked at the other six people silently, the overall figure is not strong, but the body shape does not say anything, there are a few people who practice the same fists and feet as Ba Ye, and it is no problem to fight against ordinary people against one top three or four, but when you meet a master of internal strength like her, it is not at the same level.
Hou Jie is silent, cherishing words like gold, from the moment he saw him to the moment he walked to Fan's mansion now, he only listened to what he just said was the word, and there was no other word. He has a relaxed expression, he doesn't deliberately pretend to be cool and handsome, he really doesn't like to talk. But his eyes are bright, and his internal strength must be extraordinary, and even his brother thinks that he is not sure that he will win him.
Among the other six, there was another person who caught the attention of Brother Lian, this person was thirty-five or sixteen, his eyes were lazy, as if he hadn't woken up, but when someone approached him, he would dodge quietly, and there would be a slight vigilant movement all over his body. He has light steps, lands without a trace, and is a master of light skills.
He has thick calluses on the tips of his index, thumb, and middle fingers on both hands, and this man is good at concealing weapons. His hand always touched the sleeve of his shirt, intentionally or unintentionally, and there must be a hidden weapon hidden in it. From time to time, he glanced up at the people around him, although his eyes were lazy, he had already seen everyone in his eyes, and this person must also be a foreign aid. The way he is now, he is pretending.
In the process of walking towards Fan's Mansion, Hou Jie and the Sleeping God slowly fell behind at the end of the line. Brother Lian is even more sure that these two are not simple.
When they arrived at the Fan Mansion, several people were frightened by the wealth of the Fan family. Even the younger brother pretended to be a hillbilly, looked around, and took the opportunity to look at the expressions of the other 9 people.
Although the Fan family is a merchant, but it is an important merchant in the capital, Fan Tonghai's sister married a personal guard next to King Xian, the guard was exquisite, and soon stood out and became the head of the guard of King Xian's mansion.
The luxury of the Fan Mansion is no less than a royal mansion, much stronger than the defeated Xinningbo Mansion. Since these 10 people are all bodyguards, it stands to reason that their family backgrounds will never be too good, but some of them can turn a blind eye to the luxury of Manchuria, which is interesting.
The group arrived at the front yard lobby of the Fan Mansion, and the head of the house, Fan Xiao, came out and saluted the master: "Welcome to the Fan Mansion to serve, now that the master is threatened by murderers, he still depends on your great help." ”
It is not for nothing that the Fan family can develop and grow in the capital, and a person in charge can be so humble and courteous, which shows that the management of the house is very standardized.
Fan Xiao said: "After you came, a total of 20 people together with the previous guards, from today onwards, they will be divided into three teams and take turns on duty. Now, please go to your accommodation and settle down, and I will discuss with the team leader, arrange the shift on duty, and then inform you. ”
The two little guys led Lian Di and the others to the residence, passed through the two courtyards, and arrived at the lower room, where there were seven rooms in a row, two people in one room, and the little maid let each of them combine by themselves.
Brother Lian pulled Ye Yanshan to the first room of the gate, and the god of sleep also ran to this room, the two of them went to the door at the same time, Brother Lian first stretched out his hand to push the door open, and the god of sleep took one foot into it first, and Brother Lian stretched out his arm in front of the god of sleep, and the two looked at each other angrily.
"I'll push open the door first and take my legs away. Brother Lian said as a matter of course.
The sleeping god blinked his half-dreaming eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, he didn't take Lian Di's words seriously at all, he stretched out his hand and wanted to push Lian Di away, but before Lian Di could fight back, a big hand stretched out next to him and grabbed the sleeping god's wrist, and pulled it, and the sleeping god's body staggered to the side and fell out, his reaction was also fast, and he turned over two heels with his palms on the ground, and stood firm.
Hou Jie stuck his waist in front of Lian Di and Ye Yanshan, like a mountain, protecting the two of them behind him. The sleeping god was so angry that his hands shook in his sleeves a few times, and a medium-sized person next to him came over to stop him and said, "Everyone is out to do things, and they will cooperate in the future, so why hurt the harmony for a room." ”
The sleeping god patted the ashes on his body angrily and asked Hou Jie, "What is your relationship with them?
Hou Jie hugged his arm to his chest, and tilted his head towards Brother Lian, "He goes first." ”
The sleeping god still wanted to argue, but the medium figure pulled him into the second room, and he glared fiercely at the three of them before entering.
Brother Lian said to Hou Jie: "Whoever makes you troublesome, I can handle him myself." ”
Hou Jie turned his head, glanced at her lightly, and walked to the third room without saying a word.
Brother Lian entered the house, looked at the two beds, chose a clean one, and sat on it. Ye Yanshan put the burden on the other bed, "Brother Lian, since Hou Jie is willing to be friends with us, why do you want to push him away." ”
Brother Lian said: "These people are not credible, especially Hou Jie and the squinting eyes and sleeping god. ”
Ye Qishan agreed with the title of Squinting Sleepman, "Why?" he asked.
"On our way, the two of them were left behind. ”
"So what?"
"It's at the back that everyone in front of you can be monitored. ”
Ye Yanshan's eyebrows raised slightly, "What do they want to do?"
"Their previous occupation was probably bodyguard or bodyguard, which is their habit, and they will find the best observation point wherever they go. This room is closest to the door, which is convenient for himself to enter and exit quietly, and for the watchmen to enter and exit, so he wants to grab it from me. There are ten of us, Hou Jie is a master of internal strength, and his kung fu should be the highest. The god of sleep's kung fu is almost good, but he is good at secret weapons, this kind of person makes it bad, and it is impossible to guard against it. ”
"Will they come to be bodyguards, will they be like us, with another purpose?"
"It's really hard to say about these two people, and just the way in, I found that these two people are different from everyone else. ”
"Oh, how is it different?"
Brother Lian turned over and lay on the bed, and said to Ye Yanshan: "When others see the wealth of Fanfu, they are either envious or surprised, but they are not, and there is a strong man who has just been persuaded to fight, and his expression is also intriguing. ”
"How intriguing?"
He didn't squint all the way in, and he didn't care about the wealth and wealth of Fan's Mansion, this person must have been to Fan's Mansion, he was very familiar with this place, and he was used to it. ”
"What about the god of sleep and Hou Jie?"
"Sleepy, his teeth clenched, his eyes getting colder, the wealth of the Fan family seemed to stimulate him fiercely, making him very unhappy. Hou Jie, his eyes fell on the hidden places around him several times, those places were most likely to hide assassins, I am sure that he must have been doing the guard work, this is a professional habit. ”
After listening to Brother Lian's analysis, Ye Yanshan gave her a thumbs up in admiration, "Brother Lian, it's really eye-opening to do things with you." ”
Brother Lian said proudly: "I have won awards." ”
Ye Yanshan continued: "You said that Master Fan is so well guarded now, if I am a copper coin hero, I must weigh it and I will not take risks." ”
Brother Lian shook his head and said: "It depends on what the purpose of the copper coin hero is, if he can still kill Fan Tonghai under such a Fan defense, he will take the risk." Because, it will create a bigger sensational effect. ”
"Can the martial arts of the copper coin hero be higher than these many people combined?"
"I don't know if his martial arts are high, but he must be a person with brains, he can find out the secrets of Zhang Mao and others, and he can make good use of the conditions to achieve the sensational effect he wants, even if he kills people in public, he can get out of the way, so he will never act recklessly. Xiaoye, teach you a word. ”
"What?"
"High-IQ crime. ”
"What do you mean?"
"It is to sin by wisdom, not by force. ”
Ye Yanshan's face was abrupt, and he lowered his head and chewed on what she said.
Brother Lian lay down on his back, knocked his fingers on the edge of the bed, and asked Ye Yanshan, "You say, will the Minister of Power send someone to Fan Mansion to wait for the copper coin hero?"
Ye Yanshan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Brother Lian meant, "He will, he knows better than us what Zhang Mao, Jiang Zhi and Fan Tonghai did, and he wants to catch or kill the copper coin hero more than we do." ”
"If you send someone, where would you better put it?"
Ye Yanshan smiled: "Here, inside the personal bodyguard." ”
Brother Lian turned over and said, "Among the twenty of us, who will be the one he sent?"
Ye Qishan said: "Except for the two of us, it is possible for all eighteen of them. ”
Brother Lian nodded, "And wait for me to find that person out." However, if the Copper Coin Hero does appear and he is in danger, will you help him?"
"Of course help, I have to arrest him, try the case clearly, and let Master Guan hand him over to the emperor to deal with, I can't be sorry for the ancestor of the Ye family. ”
Brother Lian listened to him speak righteously, nodded and said, "Okay, you are right, your Ye family's ancestral teachings are even more admirable, I will help you." ”
The two of them packed up their things, and they heard the voice of the grandfather outside shouting: "Come out, everyone, I have something to explain." ”
The people in the house soon came out to gather around him, and Hou Jie and the sleeping god were still standing at the back.
Ba Ye said: "Everyone, today into the Fan Mansion, everyone knows what it is for, protecting the safety of Master Fan is your task this time, dare to spit out wild words, provoke the murderer of Master Fan, we must not let him succeed, but this murderer is far more cunning and vicious than we think, so it is best for you not to look down on your opponent with high martial arts." ”
Ba Ye obviously learned more about the facts from the master, and after doing some pre-war mobilization, he began to arrange for the detachment to be on duty.
Ba Ye and the leader of the other ten people, Guo Ye, exchanged every six hours, and the remaining eighteen people were divided into three teams, one team of six people, one shift every six hours, and the shift was handed over from morning to evening (that is, from 9 am to 9 pm), and then rested for 12 hours, and then took over the shift.
The six members of Lian Di's team are: Nian, Ye Shan, Hou Jie, Lin Taizhong, Wang Shizhu, and Meng Dayu.
Lin Taizhong is the god of sleep, Wang Shizhu is the one who just persuaded peace, and Meng Dayu is similar to Brother Lian, only stronger. Brother Lian is very satisfied with this arrangement, those two people are in a team with her, at least during working hours, no one wants to make small moves.
