Another three months passed quietly, and winter seemed to be nothing special, leaving nothing worth remembering in Yunzhou City.
No one knows why the sky is so stingy. It didn’t even have a nice snowfall this winter.
It has been almost half a year since Lin Ye arrived in Yunzhou. He has grown taller. He was shorter than his wife when he came here, but now he is even taller.
Lei Hongliu was lamenting that boys of this age grew up so fast, and he was not as tall as him when he was caught off guard.
Lei Hongliu saw little Zinai less often, but the little girl still didn't want to go out more often. If he had seen her more often, he would have noticed that little girls grow taller than boys at all.
Lin Ye has grown a lot, and Xiao Zinai has also grown a lot. The height difference between the two is still the same as when they first met.
Lao Chen said that it is hard to understand that Lin Ye is tall and doesn't eat much, but he is very meticulous. Even Xiaohan has a bigger appetite than him.
Lao Chen also said that it would be difficult to understand Xiao Zinai if she didn't grow taller. She eats a lot and is not picky about food. None of the five Xiaohans eat as much as she does.
But, actually, dogs are the ones that grow the most.
Xiaohan, who is more than half a year old, is much older than when he first arrived at Lin Ye's house, but his brain has not grown much and he is still as silly.
Princess Tuoba Yunxi had already gone back to live in the palace, and the disputes in Yunzhou City seemed to have dissipated all of a sudden.
The Golden Crow Cavalry of the City Lord's Mansion is still patrolling every day, but the number of people arrested is getting less and less. Sometimes it takes ten days and a half before the Golden Crow Cavalry escorts a person passing by on the street.
If there's one thing that hasn't changed... it's probably Xue Tongchui.
He didn't seem to have grown much, nor was he very promising. He still had the wooden pacifier in his mouth for a long time. After he finished pooping, he turned around and stuck his butt up towards Lin Ye.
But one thing must be mentioned. Xue Tongchui often went to Lin Ye's house to play. Xiaohan was annoyed by him, and he was annoyed by the boy Nai.
This nearly five-year-old child imitates his eldest sister in everything. He eats more when her eldest sister eats more, and even vomits after eating.
He couldn't eat what he vomited, but Xiaohan didn't mind it and would eat some occasionally, so Xue Tongchui always said that Xiaohan was his brother in need.
As long as Xiaohan doesn't dislike him, Lin Ye said who dislikes you, and Xue Tongchui said why don't you eat it.
Then Xiao Zinai will throw Xue Tonghammer out.
Therefore, Xue Tongchui probably either didn't grow taller, or he grew taller and was not as fat as he was.
Lin Ye actually had nothing to learn in the martial arts gym. He was already familiar with moves and other things.
Lei Hongliu has always wanted to help him restore the power of his dantian, even if Tuoba Yunxi spared no effort to help him. If the dantian is destroyed, it is destroyed and cannot be repaired.
There wasn't much to learn in the martial arts school, but Tuoba Yunxi did. She found countless martial arts books on how to temper the body and improve martial arts.
Lin Ye spent two months secretly reading the Balcony Book and practicing Zhou Tian's magic, and he had the strength to kill the strong ones in the Diocese realm.
But in the next three months, he felt as if he had stagnated, reached a bottleneck, and needed an opportunity.
In fact, neither Lei Hongliu nor Tuoba Yunxi knew what Lin Ye's strength was when he fell to the ground.
The strange thing is that without Dantian, one cannot cultivate internal energy, so it cannot be measured.
In the past three months, the enthusiasm of the martial arts brothers has not cooled down. They have been working so hard because each of them does not want the siege of the martial arts hall to happen again.
Xue Tongchui sprinted every day holding the city bricks and hung them on Lin Ye.
The cold in early spring is even more annoying than the cold weather in the coldest months of winter. The cold in the twelfth lunar month of winter is a massive attack, so everyone takes precautions. Even if thick clothes are not an iron wall, they can still block thousands of troops.
The cold in early spring is an assassin. You don't know when it will suddenly appear. It makes you cry before you take off your thick clothes to look sexy.
In the afternoon, Yan Xiniu lay on the rocking chair and swayed, squinting his eyes and enjoying the massage given to him by the sun.
Suddenly there was the sound of gongs outside. Yan Xiniu stood up and went out to take a look. The sound of gongs meant that the government had something to inform the people and would post notices in the streets and alleys of Yunzhou City.
As soon as he went out, he saw the young man named Tang Jiu waving to him with a smile on his face.
This young man already looks much more mature than when he first became the chief catcher, and has a bit of the prestige that a chief catcher should have.
But no matter how you look at it, you can still see the shadow of Lei Fenglei in him.
Tang Jiu was promoted by Lei Fenglei. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is Lei Fenglei's disciple.
But Yan Xiniu knew that in such a complicated Yunzhou City, Lei Fenglei had been dead for several months, and Tang Jiu could still firmly sit in the position of chief arrester under Jin Shengchang, which showed that this seemingly innocent young man, Nothing simple.
"Brother Yan."
Tang Jiu walked over with a smile and waved the notice in his hand: "This is a good thing for your martial arts school."
Yan Xiniu asked: "What good thing?"
Tang Jiu said: "King Beiye wants to recruit contract soldiers."
When Yan Xiniu heard this word for the first time, he asked: "What is a contract soldier?"
Tang Jiu explained: "Wen't the public security in Yunzhou a while ago? The chief arrester... No, after the death of Lord Fu Cheng, the Golden Crow Cavalry of the City Lord's Mansion took over the patrol of Yunzhou, but this is not always the case Something happened."
He lowered his voice: "King Beiye discussed with the Lord of the City and said that since there are not enough soldiers from the state, and the foreign invaders in the north have been a little dishonest recently, it is better to recruit civilian warriors to form an army. King Beiye gave him a name, Contracted soldiers."
He said: "The difference between Qi soldiers and Min Yong is that Qi soldiers also receive military pay and are trained according to the method of the border army. The total strength is to recruit 20,000 people. They train more during slack periods and alternate training during busy periods. But at least they must ensure that they can be trained at any time. Half of the contract soldiers can be called upon."
When Tang Jiu said this, his voice became even lower: "King Beiye said that in this way, the Golden Crow Cavalry of the City Lord's Palace would not need to work so hard all the time."
No matter how stupid Yan Xiniu was, he still picked up some clues from Tang Jiu's words.
King Kitano cannot interfere in local government affairs. Once he interferes, he can be directly assigned a serious crime of separatist rule and attempted rebellion.
But the Qi Bing method was clever. The Qi Bing was trained by the Beiye Army, but they were responsible for the security and patrol matters in Yunzhou.
In other words, King Kitano did not interfere in local government affairs, but he could force the Golden Crow Cavalry back to the city lord's palace by just setting up a military camp.
Of course this is not an interference, this is just preparation for war.
The King of Beiye, the general of the Beiye Army, and the God of War in Northern Xinjiang, Tuoba Lie, said that there might be a war. Who dares to say that this war will definitely not happen?
Yan Xiniu said: "But what does this matter have to do with my martial arts school? How can you say it is my good thing?"
Tang Jiu explained patiently: "What King Beiye means is that all sects, martial arts schools, and even escort agencies in Yunzhou, etc., can participate in the contract as long as they are martial arts practitioners with decent status and no criminal record." Recruitment of soldiers.”
"Besides, isn't it going to be a martial arts test in about half a month? At that time, King Kitano will hold a competition at the Kitano Army Camp. The best one can directly become an officer in the contract soldiers, from the corps commander to the commander. , hundred commanders, and school captains, all can be directly selected and hired from them."
Tang Jiu smiled and said: "Brother Yan, as long as the disciples in your martial arts school participate in this competition, maybe a few contract officers will appear. In this way, your martial arts gym will be more prestigious. With Brother Yan's strength, , this is not a done deal yet.”
Yan Xiniu's face suddenly turned cold when he heard this.
"It has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with my disciples. They are still young and cannot be soldiers."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Tang Jiu was a little embarrassed, but he didn't show anything. He said with a smile, "Brother Yan, you have to think about it again."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. A wealthy businessman quickly came up to him and said with a smile: "Master Chief, what big thing is going to happen?"
Tang Jiu glanced at him: "Read the notice yourself."
After that, he left.
Yan Xiniu returned to the courtyard of the martial arts hall, and the troublesome Mo Wutong stepped forward and asked: "Master, what's going on? There are gongs and drums outside."
Yan Xiniu: "The government office has sold a lot of dog skin plasters, which can cure diarrhea, wind, cold, heat, frailty, and infertility. They are selling them everywhere. Do you want it? If you want it, I will help you ask. , can we get a discount for larger quantities?”
Mo Wutong: "I have no use for such a powerful dog-skin plaster."
As he walked out, Yan Xiniu said, "What are you doing?!"
Mo Wutong: "I can't use it, Xiao Yezi can use it. It's suitable for his symptoms of diarrhea and loose stools."
Yan Xiniu kicked Mo Wutong in the butt: "Go back and practice."
Mo Wutong rubbed his butt: "Actually, I heard it all. Master, why don't you want us to participate in contract recruitment?"
Yan Xiniu: "You haven't even grown your hair yet, so why join the military contract?"
Mo Wutong: "Is this one of the recruitment conditions? That is indeed quite stringent..."
Yan Xiniu kicked him again, and Mo Wutong covered his butt and ran away.
Soon after, all the disciples in the martial arts hall knew that King Kitano wanted to recruit contract soldiers. One of the conditions was to have people who practiced martial arts, and the second condition was to get Mao Qi.
Someone asked Mo Wutong what Mao Qi meant, and to what extent was Qi considered Qi?
Mo Wutong thought for a while and explained seriously that more is better, but less is not good.
After another half an hour, Lei Hongliu pulled Yan Xiniu aside and lowered his voice and said, "They are all discussing the contract of soldiers in private."
Yan Xiniu: "I told you, they are not allowed to go, not even one of them."
Lei Hongliu: "But this is a matter of moving forward. Even if you are the master and I am the master's wife, you should not stop it. If their parents come to ask, you and I can't explain it."
Yan Xiniu: "You know..."
He only said three words before Lei Hongliu nodded: "I know that joining the army in Yunzhou is too dangerous."
Yan Xiniu looked back at his disciples: "Strengthening your body and not being bullied is enough... isn't it?"
Lei Hongliu: "Their family took money and sent their children to our place to practice martial arts, not only to keep fit and not be bullied."
Yan Xiniu was startled, then stamped his foot: "I just don't agree. I have seen them before. They are still young and I haven't seen them before. I don't dare to see them again, especially them..."
Lei Hongliu took Yan Xiniu's hand: "Be good, don't be anxious, don't be angry."
Yan Xiniu: "Yeah!"
Not far away, Lin Ye saw Ning Zhu and Xue Tongchui sitting side by side on the steps, with their heads drooping.
He came over and asked, "Senior Brother Twenty-three, Senior Brother Twenty-four, why don't you practice Kung Fu?"
Ning Zhu was a little frustrated: "Senior brothers are all talking about contracted soldiers."
Lin Ye: "They said they were contract soldiers, why are you two unhappy?"
Xue Tongchui pulled out the wooden pacifier: "Brother Mosi said, what are you two listening to? Go ahead, you two are so young!"
Ning Zhu: "Nonsense, senior brother is talking about me, Young Master Mao, and you don't even have one!"
Xue Tongchui raised his hand and grabbed his hair: "What are these four!"
Ning Zhu: "You know nothing."
Xue Tongchui looked at Lin Ye: "Wuwu, he yelled at me."
Lin Ye: "He is senior brother."
Xue Tongchui: "I'll give you Brother Si back!"
Lin Ye: "Then you yell at me."
Xue Tong hammered for a moment, then stuffed the wooden pacifier back into his mouth: "No one should think twice about my Nana in the future."
Ning Zhu: "It looks like someone has eaten it before."
Xue Tongchui pointed at the forest leaves: "The dog has passed!"
Lin Ye: "..."
He turned around and walked away, thinking that my dog had eaten it, what do you want me to do?
He didn't say this to Xue Tongchui because Xue Tongchui would definitely talk about your dog, who would he mean if he didn't mean you?
This made sense. Lin Ye couldn't think of any words to refute, so he just left.
"Little Leaf."
At this moment, Lei Hongliu waved to Lin Ye: "Come here, I have something to tell you."
