"Hong Baihu, please take a seat. Lin Xiqi said.

Hong Shangrong is the same age as Wang Dong, although his clothes are in tatters, Lin Xiqi can find that there is still a trace of essence in the depths of his eyes, and he is indeed not an ordinary person.

"Master Xie. Hong Shangrong arched his hand.

Generally speaking, Hong Shangrong is not under the jurisdiction of Lin Xiqi, the magistrate, and if there is a war, the magistrate can control the local garrison.

It's just moderation, if the garrison is not his own people, the magistrate will be helpless.

"Presumably Hong Baihu also knew, Wang Zhutou recommended Hong Baihu to the official. Lin Xiqi said.

"I don't know what the lord wants to do?" asked Hong Shangrong.

"The war is in chaos, and the official wants the local people to have a safe guarantee. Lin Xiqi said.

Hearing this, Hong Shangrong smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice! ”

"What should you do if the official gives you money and food?" asked Lin Xiqi.

"Then the subordinate will definitely be able to train elite soldiers for the adults. Hong Shangrong said.

He can be regarded as loyal, after all, Wang Dong has already made it clear to him.

He is not under the jurisdiction of Lin Xiqi, and now he directly said that he is training for Lin Xiqi, and the meaning is very clear.

"Okay, here is 100,000 taels, you take it first, I don't know if you can recruit 500 people?" Lin Xiqi took out ten silver tickets of 10,000 taels and asked.

"A thousand people is more than enough. Hou Yuan has become more and more unscrupulous over the years, and if the lower officials have enough subordinates, they can also protect some people more. Hong Shangrong said.

"Then recruit by a thousand. Lin Xiqi said, "In this way, you can be regarded as a thousand households." ”

The adults laughed, and there had to be hundreds of people on the surface. Hong Shangrong said.

He didn't care if he had violated the laws of the imperial court, in this frontier, there were no soldiers and horses, how could he protect one side?

On the side of the court, he was already disappointed.

In the next few days, Wang Dong quickly found out the background of the Su family sisters, and there was nothing suspicious.

For the people beside him, Lin Xiqi still didn't dare to be careless.

'Ding Ding Ding', Lin Xiqi suddenly heard a sound of swords striking not far away.

He saw that the Su sisters were in a small courtyard, each holding a somewhat worn long sword and fighting.

Lin Xiqi stopped and looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but shake his head.

The strength of the two women is extremely poor, that is, they can deal with some ordinary people.

But Lin Xiqi can also see that the talents of these two women are actually good, but only because they are from a small sect and do not have any advanced exercises, their strength is not high.

"My lord?" Su Qingmei found Lin Xiqi on the side, and hurriedly put away her sword and shouted.

Su Qinglan also stopped, and when she saw Lin Xiqi shaking her head at the two of her, she said with some displeasure on her face: "My lord, do you think our swordsmanship is very poor?"

"What do you think of it?" Lin Xiqi asked with a smile.

"You are an official, you have no power to tie the chicken, what do you know?" Su Qinglan muttered.

"Qinglan, our martial arts are nothing. Su Qingmei said.

Getting along with Lin Xiqi in the past few days, she also understands that this adult is kind.

I didn't mean to embarrass the two of myself at all.

But her sister is so open-mouthed, if she is not big or small, she is afraid that she will anger Lin Xiqi.

"That's better than not knowing martial arts. Su Qinglan was unconvinced.

In her opinion, Lin Xiqi definitely doesn't know martial arts.

"Ah, by the way, I saved an old man a few years ago, and he gave me a few books, saying that they were martial arts secrets. I can't understand it, why don't I give it to you?" Lin Xiqi said suddenly.

"Do you have a secret of martial arts?" Su Qinglan heard Lin Xiqi's words, and stared at Lin Xiqi with a pair of big eyes.

"Anyway, I can't understand it, why don't you help the official take a look?" Lin Xiqi smiled, "If it's a secret book, you can also practice it." ”

"Yes, yes. Su Qinglan hurriedly clapped her hands and said.

Su Qingmei was also a little curious in her heart, and she didn't know if the books in Lin Xiqi's mouth were secrets.

"You two wait here, and the officer will fetch it. After Lin Xiqi finished speaking, he walked towards his study.

After coming to the study, Lin Xiqi selected a few suitable exercises and transcribed them on the spot, and then compiled these exercises into a book.

There are a total of five secret books: "Xuannu Heart Sutra", "Xuannu Liangyi Swordsmanship", "Fluttering Body Method", "Fluttering Palm Method" and "Fluttering Fingering".

These secrets were all exercises that he had selected in the Mengyan Pagoda that were suitable for women to practice.

"Xuannu Heart Sutra" is an internal heart method, which is the foundation and the key to making the two women become masters.

"Xuannu Liangyi Swordsmanship" is a combined fencing method, although it can be performed alone, but the cooperation of two people can maximize the power.

Practicing the first style of swordsmanship, two people are equivalent to the power of four people.

The second type is equivalent to eight people.

The third form is equivalent to sixteen people.

By analogy, there are a total of five styles, once practiced to the fullest, it is equivalent to sixty-four people, which is extremely powerful.

This is somewhat similar to Senior Brother's 'Positive and Negative Two Interception Formations', but the power of the 'Positive and Negative Two Interception Formations' is determined by the number of people, and the 'Xuannu Liangyi Sword Technique' is determined by the five levels of swordsmanship.

The 'Xuannu Liangyi Swordsmanship' can only be practiced by women, and if they want to practice the swordsmanship to a higher level, it may be difficult for the ordinary two to achieve anything.

The conditions are still very harsh, and the two need an excellent tacit understanding.

Generally, the people who are suitable for practicing this exercise are sisters, or sisters who have grown up together.

But these are not as good as twin sisters, the tacit understanding between them is innate, and they all say that they have a heart.

'Fluttering body method', 'fluttering palm technique' and 'fluttering fingering' are a set of martial arts, which are also suitable for women, not taking the fierce route, and winning in being flexible and light.

"Sister, do you think adults will have any secrets?" Su Qinglan asked, "I've been waiting for a quarter of an hour, can't he find it?"

Su Qinglan still feels a little skeptical when she thinks about it now, she doesn't think Lin Xiqi will have any martial arts secrets.

"Rest easy. Su Qingmei said.

"Here, my lord is back. As soon as Su Qingmei's words were finished, Su Qinglan shouted loudly.

"It took me a while to look for it, but luckily I didn't lose it. After Lin Xiqi smiled, he handed over the five secret books in his hand.

"It's just the secret that adults say? It shouldn't be a profound secret. Su Qinglan took it and said.

"I don't know if it's high or not, you see, if it's okay, just practice, if it doesn't work, forget it. Lin Xiqi said with a smile, "By the way, the old man also gave me three bottles of pills at that time, this bottle said that taking the I Ching and cutting the marrow can improve people's physique and make people practice twice the result with half the effort; this bottle can increase their strength; this bottle ~~ It is said that it is the best effect to take at night before going to bed, and the official can't use it, so I will give it to you." ”

"Thank you, sir. After Su Qingmei took the two bottles of elixir, she pulled her sister and saluted.

"This official still has affairs to deal with, so you can practice your own sword. After Lin Xiqi finished speaking, he turned around and left, but when he walked a few steps, he said, "Your sword is too broken, wait until you go to Wang Zhutou and ask him to go to the city to buy you two better long swords." ”
