Cold frost and mist filled the entire Mabang Villa, immersed in the misty morning light.

The more than 80 teenagers in the compound have not yet woken up, and the courtyard is locked by an iron lock with thick arms, so no one can get out, and there is nothing to do when they wake up, so they can only continue to sleep in the same place.

At this time, a group of high-level bigwigs of the horse gang came to the gate of the compound.

The leader is a majestic blue-bearded old man, dressed in a satin robe, rubbing a pair of wall-colored double beads in his palm, with a graceful and atmospheric appearance.

Behind him, there were dozens of middle-aged men, either slightly rich, or cold and thin, walking leisurely behind.

At the back, there are more than a dozen uniformly dressed and white-clothed disciples, all of whom are extraordinary, with swords at their waists and steady steps, and they appear to be well-trained.

Two young swordsmen in the nursing home were napping outside the hospital, and suddenly found the arrival of the old man with a green beard, and immediately woke up.

They looked proud in front of the children, and they couldn't help but show panic, and hurriedly stood up and bowed.

"Mr. Yangda, you're old!"

"What do you always command? You just need to send two disciples over, give an order, and the little one will bring them over!"

This old man with a green beard is the chief of internal affairs of the Mabang Villa, and he is the top boss of their villa nursing home.

"Lazy goods, let you be on duty here, is this one to take a nap?"

Chief Yang glanced at the two swordsmen, and snorted coldly.

The two young swordsmen suddenly turned pale with fright, did not dare to defend themselves, and repeatedly begged for mercy.

The rank of the caravan is strict, and the upper echelons have always been strict with the lower levels, and the precepts and punishments are harsh.

In the case of a two-person vigil, one of them must be awake at all times and take turns resting. Both of them were actually napping, which was a gang rule.

"Go, call all the children in the courtyard and prepare for the apprenticeship. ”

Yang Da said coldly.

The two young swordsmen hurriedly took out the key to open the thick chains, entered the large courtyard, shouted loudly, and drove many teenagers who were still in a sweet dream to wake up, and lined up to greet the head of Yangda, in order to make up for their mistakes.

There was a sudden panic in the large courtyard, and hundreds of teenagers hurriedly lined up.

Mo Yu and Tie Shi were also crowded in the ranks of the teenagers.

It took a long time for them to form several crooked lines under the command of the Youth Nursing Home. The teenagers had never been trained, and it was good to be able to barely line up.

The general manager of Yang University entered the large courtyard and saw that the courtyard was in order, and his face was slightly satisfied.

Those white-clothed disciples with extraordinary instruments also followed into the courtyard, looking at the many ignorant teenagers in front of them with arrogant expressions.

The newcomers and teenagers in the courtyard looked at these white-clothed brothers and sisters with great envy, and secretly cheered themselves up.

Although they are young now, as long as they have been training hard in the Medicine King Gang for a few years, their temperament will definitely be reborn and they will become young men like these white-clothed disciples.

Chief Manager Zhang took out a list of inner disciples from the sleeves of his wide robe, and with a kind look, he swept over the ten new inner disciples in the courtyard.

"Xiang Han, recommended by the deputy hall master of the gang, proficient in pen and ink since childhood, is a rare talent, three years after the concession, he became the inner disciple of the gang, and worshiped the king martial master as a teacher. ”

"Li Fugui, recommended by the master of the Wang Hall of the Gang, a young man who practiced martial arts, was talented, and after three years of concession, he became an inner disciple of the Gang, and worshiped Li Cheng Pharmacist as a teacher!"

"Wu Hao, recommended by the general manager, has studied literature since childhood, is proficient in abacus, has both talent and appearance, and after three years of concession, he is the inner disciple of the gang, and worships Zhang Quan as a teacher!"

“....”

"The above ten people are the inner disciples of the gang, and they are awarded white-clothed apprentice robes for three years. ”

The head of Yangda called the name and asked these inner disciples to come out to meet their respective teachers.

The ten young masters and young ladies who were named in the large courtyard came out one after another to meet their respective teachers, and then stood aside, all with pride on their faces.

Mo Yu found that the Yang Grand Administrator seemed to assign these people to different halls, and their masters included martial artists, pharmacists, and dart masters.

Having the head of the Yang University, the hall masters and other high-level bigwigs of the horse gang to introduce them is definitely not a generous treatment that ordinary children can enjoy.

They have long been determined to be inner disciples, and after a decade or two of learning the arts, they will become the middle and upper echelons of the caravan. The treatment from other outer disciples is naturally completely different.

In the courtyard, some of the ordinary teenagers also knew this, but when they really heard that the ten of them had become inner disciples, they still felt envious, and even a little red-eyed.

Of course, envy is envy, for most civilian teenagers, although they can't become inner disciples, their identity as outer disciples of the Mabang is already worth showing off.

You must know that any outer disciple of the horse gang is walking in Huiyang County, which is much higher than the commoners in the county seat, and there is nothing left to see.

The officials of the county government did not dare to provoke the big gang of disciples easily, and the ordinary people even took a detour when they saw it, and did not dare to offend them.

Mo Yu and Tie Shi came here just to learn some martial arts and facilitate their actions in the future, but they didn't have the minds of these teenagers and girls.

...

The head of Yang University smiled and groaned, and kindly told the ten newly started inner disciples, so that they could use logistics and cultivation to not disappoint the high expectations of the elders in the family and the high-level of the horse gang.

Then, he looked at the remaining seventy or so teenagers in the courtyard again, but his expression became indifferent and became majestic.

"Next, it's the outer disciples of this gang to apprentice!"

"Each pharmacist, martial artist, and dart master can choose up to four outer disciples by themselves, and teach martial arts and medicinal arts together with the inner disciples, with a three-year apprenticeship. All the apprentices of this gang can enjoy many benefits, such as free room and board, free borrowing of ordinary books in the library and so on. ”

"But don't be too happy, every six months in the future, Master will eliminate those who can't do it according to the usual performance of the four outer disciples. Those who were eliminated by the master no longer followed the master to learn art, and were assigned to the three major halls of the outer gate of the gang, and no longer enjoyed the apprenticeship treatment.

The eliminated outer disciples can learn the introductory martial arts and introductory medicinal arts, and enter the lowest-level miscellaneous service hall. The disciples in the Miscellaneous Service Hall can receive various miscellaneous tasks in the main hall and earn a small amount of copper coins, and they are the lowest members of the horse gang.

You can also choose to enter the knife guard. On weekdays, he practiced martial arts, and was responsible for guarding the village, protecting the pharmacy, and participating in the use of goods or fighting in the rivers and lakes to protect the interests of the gang.

Inner disciples can study for three years, learn advanced martial arts and advanced medicinal arts, and then enter the alchemy hall or sword hall, and later be promoted to the pharmacist of the gang, law enforcement, and even Dharma protectors, worshippers, hall masters, and so on. ”

The longer the apprentices follow the master, the more advanced the skills they naturally learn, and the better their future will be.

And the inner disciples are treated the best, they will not be eliminated, and they can follow the master to learn for up to three years.

"You need not be envious. The inner disciples are highly paid, and it is because their families have made great contributions to the gang, or donated a lot of money to the gang, so that they have obtained the generous qualifications of the inner disciples!

And you, the outer disciples, have not contributed to the gang, but they have to eat and drink all the money of the horse gang, and you have to learn art in the gang. Being able to enter this gang as an outer disciple is already a great blessing for you, and naturally you are not qualified to sit on an equal footing with the inner disciples. ”

The head of Yang Da gave a stern reprimand, and continued: "Of course, as long as the outer disciples work hard, they will have a chance to get ahead! If you work hard, there is also great hope for you to be promoted to the middle level of the gang. ”

"Alright. Next, it is the teachers = masters who choose the four outer disciples under their names, and they are not particularly particular, and they can be accepted if they are pleasing to the eye. ”

The general manager of Yangda politely asked all the masters to choose apprentices.

There were a total of five pharmacists, more than a dozen martial artists, and seventy apprentices in the compound. Soon, the teenagers in the compound were selected by the masters.

Mo Yu was surprised to find that he was picked by Pharmacist Li Cheng.

His original intention was to learn from martial artists, so that he could generally learn various martial arts quickly. This pharmacist... It didn't seem to fit his idea quite right.

However, Tie Shi was chosen by a martial artist to learn martial arts with him.

This Li Li Cheng is the teacher of Li Fugui and two other teenagers and girls in the county.

Under the auspices of the head of Yangda, all the inner and outer disciples began to hold the initiation and apprenticeship ceremonies.

The newcomer disciples stepped forward one by one to cut off their fingers and drip blood, dripping into a large blood basin in front of them, drinking blood wine together, and worshipping the flag of the horse gang together.

Bloody vows never to rebel against the gang.

Such a grand ceremony made the teenagers enthusiastic.

This symbolizes that from this moment on, they are no longer ordinary people, but have become real people in the rivers and lakes, who will be born and die for the caravan.

After the oath was completed, the newcomer disciples offered tea to their respective masters.

Mo Yu and three other outer disciples respectfully offered tea together and worshiped Pharmacist Li Cheng as his master.

He received a waist badge for an apprentice of the outer sect of the horse gang, a set of brand-new apprentice clothes in Tsing Yi, a bedding, toiletries and other miscellaneous items, and officially became an outer disciple.

At the end of the apprenticeship, the disciples were assigned a place to live.

Mo Yu's four disciples were all disciples of the same master, so they were assigned to a small courtyard where the disciples lived.

The layout of the small courtyard is simple, a stone house, three hot kang shops in the house, and several stone benches, which are very simple and durable. There are also a few hardwood stakes in the yard, which can practice martial arts.

And Li Fugui is an inner disciple with a high status, and he does not live in the same place as their outer disciples, but has a room by himself.
