Chapter 564: Judging People by Their Appearance

After worshipping Hua Bushi's disciples, Sun Qiaoyun rarely got the guidance of her master, just because Hua Bushi didn't stay in Wuyang City much, she could only study the "Clumsy Hand Supplement Stone Collection" and the many medical books and classics in the "Pingong Pavilion" by herself, even if there was any doubt, no one pointed out. Now the arrival of Master Meng Wuming has given her a good opportunity to seek advice and solve her doubts.

This month, Sun Qiaoyun stayed by Meng Yisheng's side almost every day, and Meng Wuming also liked such a well-behaved disciple Sun very much. When Dehua Bushi came back from Hubei, between the master and apprentice, Meng Wuming said that he would take Sun Qiaoyun to travel to various realms.

Experience is the most important thing in the improvement of medical skills, and it cannot be achieved by simply studying the classics. At the beginning, Hua Bushi also traveled for several years, and his medical skills were successful.

In fact, the eldest young master had long wanted to let Sun Qiaoyun go out to travel, but Sun Qiaoyun was a delicate woman, and it was quite inconvenient to travel alone, so she was delayed. Now Meng Wuming wants to take her on a trip to the doctor, which makes Hua Bushi overjoyed. You must know that this medical saint master has a very strange temper, and he only accepted Hua Bushi as an apprentice in his life, and he only taught Hua Bushi medical skills orally back then, and he did not have the opportunity to demonstrate and teach.

During the conversation, Hua Bushi learned that Sun Qiaoyun himself proposed this matter to Meng Wuming, and Meng Yisheng really liked this little apprentice Sun, so he agreed.

Meng Yisheng lingered in Wuyang City for more than ten days before leaving with Sun Qiaoyun.

After Meng Wuming left, Hua Bushi began to think about the development of the sect Shili again. At this time, he already understood that unless he had the strength comparable to the "Seven Great Sects", it would be very difficult to find an area where he could expand his territory.

The state capitals of Hubei and the eastern Jiangxi border are all the territory of the "Wudang faction", and there is no need to think about it anymore, and the Sichuan-Guizhou-Yunnan area in the southwest is the Shili range of the "Shuzhong Tang Gate" and the "Emei faction", and there will certainly be no hope. In desperation, Hua Bushi thought of Yujing.

Yujing and Hunan are not bordered, there is a Hubei border in the middle, and Songshan Shaolin is in Henan, "Shaolin" is stronger than "Wudang", and "Evil Dog Gate" is even more unprovoked, so it is said that there will be no possibility of development.

Hua Bushi would do this idea only because the current situation is not peaceful. In recent years, the rebel army in the Ming Dynasty has risen one after another, it is said that there are as many as eighteen roads, and now at least ten rebels are gathered in the Shaanxi and Henan realms, they attack the city and plunder the land, kill the officials and seize the grain, and the situation is stirring up a big mess.

The more chaotic it is, the more opportunities there are, and this is the so-called fishing in troubled waters.

"Eight Road General" Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses, now in the Yu realm, he is Ma Wuhua's brother, and Hua Bushi can also be called a brother, and the two sides have always had weapons sales and purchases, "Evil Dog Gate" If Shili is established in Yu Realm, he must be able to get his help.

With these conditions, Hua Bushi decided to go to Yujing in person to see if there was any possibility of plotting for development.

There are a group of Haode weapons in Wuyang City that have just been built, and they are about to be escorted to Yujing by Miao Youwu, the deputy head of the "Five Tiger Dart Bureau", and Hua Bushi is ready to set off together.

On this trip to Yujing, in addition to bringing Yang Jiangyi, Li Hu and Ximen Tong, Hua Bushi also brought out the newly trained "Thunderbolt Battalion" of the War Department.

As early as the siege of Okura Island, Hua Bushi had seen the strength of Gongora's musket team, and later made a bet with the Spanish shipowner, and the eldest young master added 300 of the latest muskets to the bet, and all the muskets won were brought back to the mainland by him.

As soon as Hua Bushi returned to Wuyang Castle from Okura Island, he instructed Ximen Hitomi to recruit men and start training the musket team.

Ximen Hitomi practiced superior martial arts, eyesight, reactions, techniques, and dexterity are not comparable to ordinary people, plus he was born with extraordinary intelligence, and soon learned the art of musket shooting, and practiced the marksmanship of a hundred shots.

He selected dozens of people from the original disciples of the "Evil Dog Gate", recruited more than 200 people, made up the number of 300, found a place on the outskirts of Wuyang City, set up a temporary camp, and began training with great fanfare. Since the only thing required to fire a musket is eyesight and skill, and it does not require a high level of martial arts skills, it can be achieved by ordinary young people, so it is not so difficult to recruit people.

However, Simon Hitomi has his own standards for recruitment.

Maybe he thinks that it is too embarrassing for a beautiful young man like him to train with a group of crooked-looking guys, and Ximen Tong's criteria for selecting people are that they must be dignified and strong, but anyone who is born ugly and short will not be accepted. As a result, these three hundred people are all heroic and strong, and they are beautiful men, not to mention the strength of their combat strength, walking together on the street will definitely make people look sideways.

In addition to musket shooting, Ximen Hitomi also had these disciples practice equestrianism, basic swordsmanship, and the method of charging and killing in formation. The musket is a long-range weapon, although it is not small, it is also quite limited, and it takes more time to reload, and once it is approached by the enemy, it is very disadvantaged. Since these disciples did not know how to excel in martial arts, they could not practice light martial arts, and riding horses would make their movements much faster, and the array and sword techniques would make them unable to resist when they were approached by the enemy or had no time to reload their ammunition.

When recruiting, people are judged by their appearance, and when choosing horses, Ximen Hitomi is of course not sloppy, and he does not spare silver taels. Ordinary horses can buy one for twenty or thirty taels, but Ximen Hitomi buys more than one hundred taels of horses, and the selection is full of strong horses and good horses, and he has found the most skilled craftsmen to make high-quality cowhide saddle bridles.

These disciples were already tall and handsome, but now they were riding on tall horses, wearing custom-made tight-fitting suits and carrying brand-new sabers, and they couldn't say how majestic they were!

The training camp was originally built on a barren hill on the outskirts of the city, a few miles away from the city gate, but soon after, it actually became the most desirable place for women in Wuyang City.

Outside the wooden fence of the training camp, a large group of warblers and swallows gathered all day long, and the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law were dressed up one by one, standing there waiting and watching, just wanting to take a look at the handsome young men in the camp, and handing them a look at the spring waves, hoping that those beautiful young men could look at themselves.

For a time, this has also become a unique scenery in Wuyang City.

Although Ximen Hitomi pays attention to appearance, he is not sloppy in training, and is even three points stricter than Yang Jiangyi training Qingyunwei and Zhu Hong training Thorn Tiger Warriors. He is an extremely competitive person, and he strives to do better than others in everything, and this is true for martial arts, and the same is true for the training department.

Six months later, the original 300 men had become 200, and the remaining teenagers had all shed a layer of skin, but the musket marksmanship, knife skills, and equestrian skills were all greatly improved, and the orders were forbidden, and the discipline was extremely strict. Even Hua Bushi saw it after returning from Hubei, and praised Ximen Tong greatly, and named this war department "Thunderbolt Battalion".

However, what Ximen Hitomi cares about is only their ability, and there is no prohibition in other aspects, how many love entanglements these beautiful young people have with the girls and ladies in Wuyang City in addition to training, and how many husbands are jealous, but it is another matter.

Hua Bushi is not familiar with Yujing, and no one else can bring it with him to develop Shili on this trip, but Chu Yiyi is indispensable. However, at this time, Chu Yiyi was not in Wuyang City, but went to Fujian because of the affairs of "Thousand Flowers". In order not to delay the trip, the eldest young master decided not to wait for her to come back, and only used flying pigeons to send a message, asking her to go directly to the rendezvous from Fujian.

And the meeting place set in the letter is this Ganlin town in northern Hubei Province.

At the end of June, it took more than 20 days to set off from Wuyang City, cross the two borders of Hunan and Hubei, and travel to northern Hubei for more than 20 days.

It's the middle of July, and it's the hottest time of year. The dart cart loaded with weapons was not moving fast, so Hua Bushi asked Ximen Hitomi, Li Hu and Thunderbolt Battalion to protect the dart team and walk slowly behind, while he and Yang Jiangyi rode their horses first and arrived at Ganlin Town first.

After entering the town, the two went to Linjiang Building to sit and rest, but it happened that Yujian Xiao Ningning was singing, and Guan Jie was deliberately embarrassed, so he took care of such an idle matter.

Ximen Hitomi jumped off the horse and stepped forward and said, "Master, I just received a summons from the 'Thousand Flowers Fang', Mrs. Yiyi and Bu Wang have just crossed the Yangtze River now, I'm afraid we won't be here until the day after tomorrow at the earliest, do we have to wait for them in this town?"

Hua Bushi nodded and said, "Yes, it would be more appropriate to wait for Mrs. Yiyi to come and enter the Yu realm together." Let's find an inn in the town first, and let the Perak camp and the dart team also camp and rest. ”

He turned his head to look at Xiao Ningning behind him, and said, "Ximen Hitomi, this little sister's parents are on the pine seed slope outside the town, you can send her back!"

Ximen Hitomi claimed to be so, beckoned to the little girl and said, "Little sister, come here, I'll send you to find your father!"

Previously followed Hua Bushi out of the restaurant, until the people of the "Phoenix Wing Gang" left, Xiao Ningning had been frightened, at this time when she heard the call, she glanced at Ximen Hitomi, but suddenly ran to Hua Bushi, opened her arms and hugged the thigh of the eldest young master.

Suddenly hugged by this little girl, Hua Bushi was a little stunned, and said softly: "Xiao Ningning, don't be afraid, those bad guys have already left! Let Brother Ximen send you back to your parents, okay?"

Xiao Ningning shook her head, but did not speak. When she sang in the restaurant before, she was sharp and eloquent, but at this time, a small mouth seemed to be sewn up, and she didn't say a word, her apple face was red, and she only held Hua Bushi's legs and refused to let go.

Yang Jiangyi said: "Those people from the 'Phoenix Wings Gang' are so vicious, she is probably frightened, why don't we send her back together!"

Hua Bushi bowed his head, leaned over and said, "Then my brother and sister will send you back, okay?"

Xiao Ningning thought about it, and her little chin finally nodded.
