There is more Li Kui in the team, and Ruan Xiaoqi is very lively. Everyone chatted about interesting topics, and from time to time burst into laughter. Ruan Xiaoqi, who is lively by nature, is the best with this big black man.

Hurry up along the way, and before the sun turns west, everyone has already arrived at their destination. Outside the village, you can see groups of men running with heavy loads on their backs, and you can also see many people squatting on the ground and frogs jumping forward......

Everyone shouted slogans, most of them were not very old, and everyone was full of energy. All of them are wearing black short coats and jackets, which should be said to be tight vests sewn by the owner, all black, and they look imposing.

A few people who didn't know looked at the new thing and were curious.

Li Kui couldn't bear it for a long time, and wanted to ask the guards to understand, but thinking that he should have restrained himself when he first arrived, he was not too rude and barbaric.

Talking about wine last night, the three heroes of the Ruan family still knew a little bit of darkness, Ruan Xiaoer asked excitedly: "Brother, is this the guard of Chao Mansion?" ”

"Yes, it's not all, and it's an afternoon of training." Chao Gai smiled and nodded, and then asked, "Erlang, how are these guards?" ”

"Well, far beyond the Yuncheng Xiang Army!" Ruan Xiaoer's voice was very soft but sure.

"Hahaha, they've just started training."

Chao Gai's slightly smug words, not to mention the Ruan Sanxiong were shocked inexplicably, even Li Kui, who was relatively simple-minded, thought it was incredible.

These energetic, fast-moving guards have just started training? If you have trained for three or five years, no, what will it be like for one or two years?

Chao Gai saw the shock in the eyes of several people, and quietly changed the topic. said that he had given up his private business and changed his course to do other business.

Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi sat in the carriage and shouted to open a gambling house to make money. Another old gambler, Li Kui, raised his hands in favor of agreeing.

These three living treasures together can be described as smelly, and there are many topics.

Before Chao Gai and his people set foot in Dongxi Village, they had already been discovered and reported by the Chao Mansion scouts. When they returned to Chaofu, many people at the door were looking forward to it.

Wu Yong, Shi Xiu, and Comber saw Chao Gai returning, and they all smiled and stepped forward.

Chao Gai turned over and dismounted, pulled Ruan's three heroes, and Li Kui made a brief introduction. The two sides greeted each other for a while, and entered the Chao Mansion lively.

The courtyard of the deep house in Chao Mansion was large and magnanimous, and Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Li Kui were dazzled by the men from poor backgrounds, and exclaimed again and again.

Chao Gai naturally asked Kang Bo to lead Sanruan and Li Kui to settle down as soon as possible. informed the room to prepare a banquet, and then went to the study with Wu Yong and Shi Xiu.

The waiter took the tea and left to bring it to the door, and Wu reported with a smile: "Brother, the land contract sent by Ma Dahu has been returned to the original owner." ”

Some time ago, I asked for the land from the big family in Xixi Village. There are more than 1,000 acres, all of which are fertile land that ordinary people have forcibly occupied in the past. On that day, he asked for the title deed in the gazebo in order to return the property to its original owner.

"Well done." Chao Gai has been a little busy recently, and the matter of returning the field has been handed over to Wu Yong. After asking about it, he clapped and laughed without clapping. Wu Yong is quite strategic, but he is best at pondering people.

In order to prevent Ma Dahu from making a moth afterwards, he not only invited He County's henchmen from the city, but also summoned all the villagers of Xixi Village to witness, bought back the field at a price of ten cents per mu of land, and signed and pledged it in public.

All this money is used for the day's entertainment.

In addition, Chao Fu took out dozens of taels of silver to make the county government office satisfied. Chao Gai was busy and didn't get it on the surface, but in fact, his reputation has spread.

"Brother, these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, as long as they give money, they dare to do anything." Shi Xiu took the guards in charge of security, and said clearly and hatefully.

"Brother, things can't be rushed." Chao Gai smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"The little brother knows, but he can't get used to it!"

"Take your time, and then clean up these corrupt officials later." Wu comforted with a smile. Then he said: "Brother, as for the thousands of acres of land in Chaofu, it is not difficult to sell, but if you want to get the maximum benefit, you still need to think in the long run. ”

"Okay, let's sum it up when we have time, and it doesn't matter if the price is low."

Chao Gai is going to be a robber, and it is better to sell the land if it is only confiscated. However, there was no rush to Poliangshan in Sheung Shui for a while.

Shi Xiu also reported: "Brother, my side is also starting to explore the terrain. ”

"That's good, let's go, San Lang, talk about the restaurant as we go." After Chao Gai finished drinking tea, he pulled Wu Yong, and Shi Xiu walked to the side room. Ruan's Sanxiong and Li Kui came to vote, and it was indispensable to wash the dust for them!

He is not as stupid as Little Whirlwind Chai Jin, and people are divided into three, six, nine and so on. As long as there are ingredients in the house, let the room change the tricks. Sometimes he feels dissatisfied, so he puts on an apron and cooks it himself.

In order to win over the brothers, why not teach the cook?

It's pure nonsense to say that a gentleman is far away from cooking, don't eat if you have the ability. Master Chao's roar resounded through the room, who dared not open his eyes to stop it?

Ruan's three heroes and Li Kui are all rectal men, and they came to the room after settling down. Seeing a large table of fat chicken, fat duck, roast goose and fried fish and other dishes, and decades of old wine buried in the ground, there is a lot of abundance.

Delicacies, delicacies from the mountains and seas are nothing more than that!

Where have a few poor men been treated like this? Especially when they saw Chao Gai come out with a few dishes, the feeling almost made them cry. At the banquet, Chao Gai was frequently asked to toast, telling that the grace of knowing the encounter was unforgettable. The crowd laughed and shouted until late!

……

Chao Gai knew that the northern Jurchen tribe had quietly risen, and there was not much time left for him. Naturally, it will not be wasted, it is not for San Ruan and Li Kui to enjoy the blessings, and they will be stuffed into the escort team in the early morning of the second day after the reception banquet.

Starting from the standing stance, frog jumping, long-distance running, swimming, etc. Chao Qiang and Shi Xiu took turns to stare at them like monitors. The lively and active Li Kui and Ruan Xiaoqi practiced bitterly.

Chao Gai personally instructed everyone in their fighting skills, and everyone fought against each other to hone their martial arts. Sometimes it is a heads-up, sometimes it is a group fight, sometimes it collides with both sides, and it is a scuffle......

Except for eating and sleeping, almost all day is spent in training. Chao Gai ate and lived with the guards, and trained harder than everyone else.

Brother, he only sleeps two hours a day. Shi Xiu said this with tears in her eyes.

No one in the whole province is not convinced!

Days like this are tiring but very fulfilling!

In just three or two days, Ruan's three heroes and Li Kui got used to this boring life. From oneself or others, you can experience that you have gained a lot of hard work.

For example, Li Kui learned to plan, and Ruan Thi Sanxiong was able to ride a horse. In addition, after many scuffles, several people have become more and more experienced in fighting the enemy.

Of course, the most important thing is to admire Chao Gai in my heart, I really treat myself as a brother, and I personally gave my clothes and robes to sleep together at night. Let a few men from poor backgrounds be moved inexplicably, and they are willing to smear their liver and brains.

On the martial arts arena in the inner courtyard of Chaofu,

"Ouch, my ass was broken into eight petals."

A rough crying father shouted to the mother. Li Kui, who was wearing a black silk shortcoat, was knocked down by Chao Gai's sweeping legs, and a fart sat on the ground and shouted.

"Huh? No, the iron bull has a lot of strength, and the next plate is unstable, so he will start to take a horse step from tomorrow. Chao Gai ignored this guy and made a sharp judgment.

"Brother, do you want to practice a new project again?" Li Kui rubbed his ass and got up and shouted aggrievedly. Over the past few days, I have learned a lot of new vocabulary.

"Hmph, sweat more now, bleed less in wartime!" Chao Gai scolded with a cold face.

"Hey, hey, Brother Tieniu, you can't be lazy." Ruan Xiaoqi teased on the side.

"What to do? You brothers can't be idle, and try to sleep on the horse from tomorrow. Chao Gai looked at the triumphant Ruan Xiaoqi and drank.

Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu, who were fighting next to each other, looked at each other, opened their mouths and wanted to say nothing but had nothing to say, so they could only stare at their brothers.

"Training is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat!"

Chao Gai slipped the words of the previous instructor one by one. Then he looked at the thirty guards who were surrounding the martial arts arena: "Your shortcomings are also unstable. Tomorrow I will train with Captain Li Kui, and the outstanding ones will become the captains. ”

As the saying goes, if you don't follow the rules, you can't make a circle.

Although the Chaofu Self-Defense Force is a militia organization, its original intention is not only superficial. The system that the imperial army should have, the self-defense forces are not lacking, but more stringent.

Chao Gai took into account the current environment and did not copy the military ranks of later generations. Instead, a set of standards was formulated in combination with the military official positions in the Northern Song Dynasty.

From low to high, they are divided into army commanders, generals, capital heads, and battalion commanders (commanders). Since there are only more than 700 people at present, the capital prison above, the control has not been announced.

The thirty men of his personal guard were all soldiers, and when he heard the captain's eyes, he was hot. If you want to improve your salary, you have to get a military rank, and now the opportunity has come.

"Train hard!" Chao Gai nodded at the eagerness in the guards' eyes. There are goals to strive for, which is why he established military ranks.

"Brother, someone from Yuncheng County is here!" At this time, Wu Yong came in a hurry.

"Huh? People from the county? Where is it? Chao Gai was stunned, not surprised. From the moment I learned that the county would send someone to come, I was ready to deal with it.

"Dongxi Village is five miles away, and there are a lot of people."

"Erlang, you come with me, and the others continue to train."

Chao Gai thought for a moment, and after making a little arrangement, he led someone to greet him. Regardless of the intentions of the government, at least the number of courtesies should be in place.

……

Lei Heng brought back more than a dozen outlaws from Chao Mansion last time. After severe torture, it was really the murderer who robbed and killed the caravan, and he was caught with the stolen goods. The defeat of the bandits paved the way for promotion, and the magistrate of Yuncheng County was very happy. Lei Heng was severely praised, and another hero, Chao Gai, was also valued.

Master Ren is very good at calculus, at most a year will not make mistakes, and if he does a little more, he can be promoted to leave this place of right and wrong. As for the extermination of the Liangshan bandits, it is better to rely on the old and weak remnants of the county government!

He specially sent his right-hand man to bring gifts and go to win over the green forest boss Chao Tianwang. With him in charge, he organized tenants to rush to the front to ensure that there would be no robbers in Yuncheng County during his tenure.

The county lord's wishful thinking is exquisite!
