Chao Gai and Shi Xiu said that they were practicing each other, but in fact, after trying a few tricks to understand each other's depths, it was like fighting with real knives and guns on the battlefield.

There is a saying that fighting is the most sharpening person!

Chao Gai, a half-hanger, was initially at a disadvantage, and he only had the ability to parry, and he had no power to fight back. After more than a dozen rounds, perhaps the instinct of this body that has been practicing martial arts for more than ten years has been awakened, or perhaps driven by a competitive heart, the comprehension of the records in the martial arts has deepened, and the sword skills have become more and more proficient.

And the Shi Xiu brothers on the opposite side are even more good martial arts, plus they have rich combat experience. From time to time, he pointed out one or two and reminded him of the precautions, which made him benefit a lot, and the progress was obvious, and he moved back to the decline step by step. A three-pointed, two-edged knife flew up and down, slashing, slashing, and stabbing straight ......

A knife is faster than a knife, a knife is fiercer than a knife, varied, and it is impossible to prevent it!

Chao Gai concentrated on fighting his opponents, only immersed in the sword technique and did not notice any changes in himself. Shi Xiu, as the person concerned, felt it the most strongly. Gradually aware of the difference between his sworn brother, his moves became more and more aggressive, and he had spare strength from the beginning until he had to go all out, until he concentrated on coping.

Especially when he realized that after his own guidance, Chao Gai had been able to use it thoroughly, and he could no longer find the same flaw, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked. This brother of mine is such a terrifying martial arts talent!

On the third pole of the day, the two people on the martial arts training ground fought more than 50 rounds, regardless of whether they were up or down. The two big men were soaking wet, panting, but they still didn't stop.

"San Lang, don't fight, don't fight!" Chao Gai shouted, sold a flawed open Pu knife, and immediately jumped out of the circle. Holding a three-pointed, two-edged knife, he gasped for air. In my heart, I secretly scolded the author of later generations for one hundred and eighty rounds at every turn, which is pure nonsense. Even if the physical strength can keep up, time does not allow.

Shi Xiu was also sweating profusely, not much better than Chao Gai, so naturally he would not fight again. Pu Dao slammed a pestle on the ground and wiped the sweat off his face.

After the two looked at each other, they looked up to the sky and laughed in unison.

"Hahaha, it's really happy, San Lang is good at martial arts, good swordsmanship." Chao Gai threw the three-pointed two-edged knife onto the weapon rack, took the towel and threw it to Shi Xiu.

"Where, my brother is really powerful, he is a martial arts wizard, and he is making rapid progress. I believe that it will not be long before I fight all over the world, and it will be difficult to find opponents. Shi Xiu took the towel and walked over with a smile while wiping the sweat from his face.

What this rectum man said was not a compliment, but he was really impressed by his sworn brother, and he would never be an opponent after a while.

"Brother, you are still young and have the potential to grow, let's have a long talk in the evening." Chao Gai patted Shi Xiu on the shoulder, intending to share the gold leaf martial arts. And I neglected that this was a ready-made teacher.

The most important thing is that as a modern person, it is not his subjective will to cherish himself. Why not be happy if your brother can become stronger and surpass himself?

"Brother invites you, dare to disobey?" Shi Xiu nodded repeatedly.

"Brother, you are good-looking and have good martial arts, but you can't sell cattle and sheep and bury them!" Chao Gai nodded with a smile and looked Shi Xiu up and down.

Shi Xiu was poked to the sore spot by this sentence, thinking of the people in Jiangnan who were ruined because of Hua Shigang, and thinking of their own situation, a pair of fists clenched: "Hey, don't hide it from my brother, my younger brother is from a humble background." How can the world be turbid, the traitors of the Manchu Dynasty are in charge, but we and other hot-blooded men have no way to serve the country. ”

"Brother, don't panic, there will always be a place to help!" Chao Gai patted him on the shoulder. added in my heart that my brother will be in Liangshan at this time next year.

"If you are evil, you will not give up, but you should increase your strength. During this time, I temporarily became a teacher in the village, how about teaching the guards? ”

"It's all up to my brother!" Shi Xiu clenched his fists and took his life.

"Okay, good ......, brother, the guards must be their own, you come with me." Chao Gai smiled and pulled Shi Xiu to find the old housekeeper Chao Kang.

……

In the original trajectory, Zhujiazhuang made a three-village alliance, a total of 20,000 troops and horses against Liangshan. It's not so scary now, but it's not a soft persimmon either. In order to prevent Zhu Biao from retaliating, Zhuangshang's defense forces must be strengthened.

The size of the Shojo Guardian needs to be expanded again!

Chao Gai made a decision after discussing with Shi Xiu and Comber. Ordered to kill donkeys, slaughter cattle and dogs, and bring out more than ten years of old wine. A banquet was held, and hundreds of tenants were invited to the banquet to discuss important matters.

At dusk, the table in the backyard of Chaofu was full of wine and meat, gathering six or seven hundred men! There were a lot of people coming, and the tables and chairs were placed in the welcome courtyard. Hundreds of people gathered, crowded into the backyard, crowded, and overwhelming!

Chao Gai stood on the high platform that had been built, and first said that the world was turbid and bandits were rampant. Not long ago, a caravan was robbed on the way, causing panic. In order to prevent thieves, it is better to rely on oneself than to rely on the official army to suppress bandits.

Because these officers and soldiers are more ruthless than bandits, they eat all the chickens and ducks of the common people around Shuibo, and kill cattle and sheep. When I left, I had to pay for the road. If it weren't for the large number of surrounding villages and dense populations, it would be difficult to kill the good and take the risk.

Several villages around Dongxi Village were not looted by thieves, but they were also afraid. Now when I hear this owner talk about this, it is naturally a positive response.

"Good, good." Chao Gai was very satisfied with the attitude of these tenants: "Ladies and gentlemen, you know Chao's personality and are willing to take this lead to set up a Zhuangke Self-Defense Force. In your spare time, you can practice your fists and feet to defend against the invasion of those thieves. Keep your home safe and tell others that we're not bullies. ”

"Okay, that's how it should be, agreed."

"The owner is right, and people can't be underestimated."

Before Chao Gai's words were finished, he won a burst of applause from the people. Thinking of the heavy taxes after the expansion of the fields, and the officials and soldiers who were more hateful than the robbers, they couldn't help but grit their teeth, and many young descendants were even more scolding.

The officials and bandits are close to each other, what kind of world is this?

The wish of these simple people is to be able to eat enough and not go hungry.

Chao Gai was interrupted and did not get angry, but looked at everyone calmly. After being noisy for a while, he pressed his hand, waited until it was quiet and continued: "Those who have money pay and some people pay people. There are 300 places in the Self-Defense Forces, with 10 yuan per year, and the age of 16 to 25 is required to be in good health. Those who are interested will come to Chaofu to register, which is also the purpose of the banquet. ”

There was an eerie silence for a while, and then suddenly there was a commotion. After that, it's a matter of talking about how can there be such a good thing?

Ten pieces of money! This is a time when the average family has a good harvest throughout the year. And now, as long as you come to Chaofu and enter the Self-Defense Forces, you can get it. Even those who serve as soldiers do not receive so much military pay a year.

The most important thing is that they are tenants hired by the village, and during the term of employment, they are legally obliged to protect the village, do some chores, and so on. It's all up to the village's arrangement, and there is no money to want.

But now they have money to get, how to make them not excited?

The men in front of them couldn't believe it, pinching their thighs and grinning with painful teeth. Make sure what the owner said is true, not a dream!

Shi Xiu in the corner suddenly realized that he finally understood what his brother meant. Whether the banquet is a big deal or not, the recruitment of escort training is the real thing. In his heart, he was also secretly speechless, and he was amazed by the effort he spent a lot of money for Chao Gai.

At the same time, he was also a little guilty, how could he not understand that the reason why Chao Gai spent so much effort was to prepare early and deal with the revenge of Na Zhujiazhuang. made up his mind silently, no matter what, he would help each other to worship his eldest brother.

Unconsciously, Shi Xiu felt that this brother was full of aura and his approach was convincing. There is only respect on his face, and he has a tendency to become a little fan. How did he know that his brother had a long-term vision. What I think about is what money is, as long as the strength is strong and the fist is big, I will rob it, and whoever has money will rob whom.

Only the old housekeeper Chao Kang was depressed, and recruiting guards was a lot of money. I'm happy to be safe and secure, but it's a little painful. looked at his master with an inexplicable look, and spent a lot of money!

Not to mention that outsiders have different thoughts, the parties are even more like exploding the pot. You pull me, I pull you, confirm each other, discuss, and giggle endlessly.

Many strong men who were in the middle of the year patted their chests and shouted loudly: "Boss, we have the strength to fight with you if we don't have anything else, and we are willing to take up arms to fight you." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, Chao has said something ugly, and when you enter the Self-Defense Forces, you have to obey orders. If someone has bad intentions and colludes with foreign enemies, the result is clear to you. If anyone does a great deed, he will have a reward, and he will have gold and silver, and all the land. Chao Gai stood on the high platform, and his smile narrowed and became very serious.

Hearing the exact words again, the tenants present laughed even more happily. The seventeen or eighteen-year-old hairy guys were eager to try it and couldn't wait to sign up immediately. In this era, whoever gives a mouthful of food will work for whom.

How to say a popular saying in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, oh, it is to erect a recruiting flag, and you have your own food eaters! It can be seen that the world is turbid, and the people are not happy!

The people have no food to eat, so they can only take up arms and rebel!

"Don't be in a hurry, let's fill our stomachs first, and come back to the house tomorrow." Chao Gai waved at everyone, and he sat on the main seat to raise a glass first.

Many of the villagers sat down one after another, raising their wine bowls and drinking freely. They have drunk the bad wine they brewed, and many of them are addicted to it.

They are accustomed to a hard life, and they only get a little taste of meat during the New Year. Seize the opportunity to eat the sea, feast, and the old butler who watched frowned. muttered that a group of big stomach kings told the gang to kill some more cattle and sheep for later use.

As the host, Chao Gai came to toast in an endless stream. He changed the small cup in advance, and he did not refuse, without a little shelf, and said intimate words.

He deliberately pulled Shi Xiu, who was sitting in the corner, and introduced it to everyone. After that, I found an excuse to leave, and returned to the inner courtyard to pick up the big knife and practice hard.

As for the other thing about the good land, I will mention it later when I have time. The top priority at the moment is to practice martial arts hard and enhance one's own strength.

The backyard was bustling with people fighting and drinking, and laughter continued into the night. After a wine banquet, Chao Baozheng has a great reputation and is even more loved by the villagers. Gradually, the news spread to the surrounding villages, making the tenants envious.
