Although the Datongpu next to the martial arts arena has been cleaned, it has not been occupied for many years and some of it is in a mess.
"We want this room, you go find another room," a tall, dark, muscular man who looked to be about twenty years old shouted arrogantly.
"Liu Daniu, you are a lot more courageous," Jia Cui replied. These descendants of the soldiers who were placed in Zhuangzi outside the city knew each other well with the descendants of the Jia family's soldiers.
When their parents were still alive, although the two groups had a good relationship, they were still vaguely divided into two small groups. The old Duke didn't pay much attention to this kind of competition back then, as long as he didn't really bully the Pao Ze brothers.
Liu Daniu grinned, "Jia Datou, if you are a man, have a fight with me, and whoever wins will get the best bed."
The two groups all started to boo at once, "Brother Cui, kill this brute Liu Daniu!"
"Daniu, beat Jia Datou down, and the brothers will recognize you as the boss!"
The martial arts arena started to become noisy and could be heard even outside.
Jia Cui and Liu Daniu also wanted to compete for the leadership position, so they immediately geared up and prepared to fight.
Jia Hui stood among the crowd and watched the show with a smile. Unlike these people, this time he acted alone and there was no need to fight for the leader.
The two of them were soon going back and forth and began to compete with each other.
Jia Hui is now the Yin Shen who has just formed, his perception is keen, and his martial arts cultivation is far above everyone present.
Moreover, most of Jia Cui and Liu Daniu's kung fu came from the ordinary martial arts in the Dachu Martial Arts. Jia Hui was extremely familiar with these martial arts.
Therefore, with Jia Hui's eyesight, he quickly saw that Jia Cuiying was more confident.
Although Liu Daniu is tall and strong, his movement is a bit clumsy. If several people form a formation and are covered by teammates, Liu Daniu can exert his greatest advantage.
But if the two of them compete alone, Jia Cui is also tall. Although his strength is not as strong as Liu Daniu's, he uses his vigorous pace to consume his opponent's physical strength.
Sure enough, Liu Daniu started to use three methods, but failed to achieve any big results, so he lost his temper. Jia Cui seized the opportunity and kicked him to the ground.
"Brother Cui has great skills," the Jia clan members cheered loudly, their faces glowing red.
Jia Cui stepped forward, reached out and pulled Liu Daniu up, and said with a smile, "Daniu, I didn't expect that you have not put down your skills in these years.
I took advantage today. If the army were to fight head-on on the battlefield, I might not be able to beat you. "
Jia Hui admired in his heart that Jia Cui was a talented person who knew how to advance and retreat. Liu Daniu is a comrade in the future. Winning is enough, there is no need to compromise the opponent's face.
Liu Daniu's expression improved, "Jia Datou, if I lose, I lose. From now on, as long as you treat us brothers equally, we brothers will listen to you."
After this incident, the relationship between the two groups became closer. After all, the parents of both parties were life-and-death friends in the past. Although there were some differences, they were not major, and the younger generations were easily affected.
"Everyone, Second Master Lian ordered me to bring wine and food." Lin Zhixiao walked in from outside, followed by a group of maids and boys, carrying many food boxes.
Jia Cui was overjoyed, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Manager Lin, please thank Mr. Lian for your hospitality on behalf of my brothers and me."
Lin Zhixiao smiled brightly, ordered the maids and servants to put down the food and wine, said a few polite words, and left a group of soldiers there to eat and drink.
Early the next morning, Jia Cui got up early and called on his brothers to get ready.
The key to the armory has been obtained. The twenty soldiers are all equipped with a steel knife and wear a cowhide inner armor under their clothes.
Da Chu has very strict control over armor. This cowhide inner armor is worn under clothes, which can be regarded as a policy from above and a countermeasure from below.
After breakfast, Jia Lian and Lin Daiyu were ready and sent someone to notify the soldiers to prepare for departure.
"Brothers, line up. Today is the first time that the Duke's Palace has called us to do something. We must not disgrace our fathers," Jia Cui shouted in a deep voice.
The soldiers formed two teams, led by Jia Cui, and walked towards the gate of Rongguo Mansion.
At the gate, the carriage was ready. Jia Baoyu and several sisters sent Lin Daiyu to the carriage with tears in their eyes.
"Brother Lian, you have to take good care of Sister Lin," several sisters told Jia Lian.
Jia Hui was in the team and happened to see this scene, and realized that this was Jia Lian sending Lin Daiyu to see Lin Ruhai for the last time.
"The daughter's family in Rongguo Mansion is truly blessed. All of them are charming and pretty. Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai are the best among the girls."
The carriage quickly started, and the next step for the group was to rush to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and transfer to an official ship to Yangzhou.
After changing to the official ship, Lin Daiyu, maid Zijuan, and Xueyan went directly into the inner cabin and rarely showed up.
"Brothers, I leave my safety to you. Brothers, please be careful not to disturb the female family members," Jia Lian ordered.
After accepting the summons from Rongguo Mansion, except for Jia Hui, the other nineteen soldiers already understood their identities.
Jia Cui said in a deep voice, "Second brother Lian, don't worry. With our brothers here, anyone who wants to have evil intentions must first get through us."
Jia Hui shook his head imperceptibly. Jia Cui was a bit boastful this time.
Not to mention anything else, Jia Hui alone and only need a steel sword, the other nineteen soldiers combined are no match.
Lin Ruhai's opponents in Yangzhou, the salt merchants, had a powerful force in their hands.
Especially in this world where martial arts exists, there is no shortage of ordinary masters as long as they are willing to spare the resources.
Although Jia Cui's nineteen soldiers can barely be called elites in the army, fighting on official ships may not necessarily be the opponents of those in the world.
The environment on the official ship is quite good, at least there is a bed for each person. Jia Hui and others are also on guard duty in separate shifts, and can rest freely at other times.
Jia Hui came to the deck, leaned on the railing, and looked at the scenery boredly. The areas along the canal are densely populated, mostly in economically prosperous areas, and the buildings have obvious local characteristics.
What's a bit disconcerting is that there are many people on this boat who are seasick. After a while, someone came to the railing and vomited, his face turned pale.
Even Lin Daiyu's maid Xue Yan would bring out basins of dirty water from the inner cabin and pour it into the water.
Jia Hui frowned and quietly communicated with the vigilant fairy. After a while, a small bag of pills that can relieve seasickness symptoms was ready.
This is necessary to save your nose from suffering. The little folk remedies that the police fantasy fairy has collected over the long years should be pretty good.
When he saw Lin Daiyu's other maid Zijuan pouring down a basin of dirty water, Jia Hui stopped her.
"Miss Zijuan, I have some pills here to treat seasickness. You can give them a try. It should be effective," Jia Hui said with a smile.
"Thank you Brother Hui," Zijuan said in surprise. She had heard Aunt Zhou's maid Xiaolian talk about Jia Hui, but she had never had direct contact with him before.
