Wonju, somewhere.
The light in the dark room was still dim. The man in black robe standing in the dark squeezed the thing in his hand and made a "gurgle" sound. The man standing behind him was silent at the moment, not even daring to breathe for fear of causing his displeasure.
"Within half a year, the entire world has been in uproar, and all the secrets and treasures of several martial arts sects have been stolen, all because of this one person. And you have spent half a year, but you are still helpless and let him leave. Central Plains. I need a sufficient explanation." The man in black robe said solemnly.
The person behind him couldn't help but shudder. This was the first time he heard the man in black robe say such serious words, which showed that he was very angry now.
"Your Majesty, we have spent the past six months trying our best to capture this person. However, this person has excellent physical skills and never faces the enemy directly. According to various investigations by the slaves, this person is very similar to one of Feng Changlin's subordinates many years ago. I am sending people to further investigate the spy network who is not on the list. As soon as I have any information, I will report it to the Lord immediately."
"Oh? Does Feng Changlin have such a person under his command?" The man in black robe tilted his head slightly.
Gao Cai behind him hurriedly responded: "If the information obtained by this slave is correct, this person may be Wu Jianren, a criminal thief who traveled across the world more than 20 years ago and committed countless crimes. He is known as the 'unseen man'."
“What was stolen from all the martial arts factions?”
Hearing this, Gao Cai hurriedly took out a paper folding book from his arms and handed it to the man in black robe with both hands.
The man in black robe took the fold and took a look at it and said, "It seems that he intends to train the child to practice martial arts."
"Wouldn't that become a future trouble? Otherwise, I'll ask Wandao Sect to send someone to Beihu again."
"No need, I'm not in a hurry with that thing."
Gao Cai cupped his hands and said, "It all depends on the Lord's arrangement. Does the Lord have any other instructions?"
"You must be careful in your contacts with the east side and make sure there are no mistakes."
"Don't worry, Lord, I have arranged for my own people there."
The man in black robe snorted softly and said: "Go to the Blue Bird Garden and bring back a few decent ones to train, and only one will be left in the end."
"I understand, I will do it now." After saying that, Gao Cai bowed and left.
At this time, the man in black robe was the only one left in the darkroom.
The man in black robe once again raised the origami in his hand and looked at it. He said to himself: "A charlatan, a dandy, huh."
…………
Blue Bird Garden, the name sounds very elegant. But in fact, this is just a slave training camp. The children sent here are either the descendants of criminals and were implicated by their parents; or the children of wealthy families suffered sudden changes and ended up here. In short, the children who can be sent here all have a good background and have received a good education since childhood. However, changes in their families have forced them to transform from the former young masters to the slaves they are today.
Gao Cai was greeted by a crowd of people and walked into the main courtyard of Qingniaoyuan. Three rows of girls who had been selected in advance were kneeling neatly in the courtyard, ranging in age from five to eight years old. Although they are all still children, it can be seen that they all have good looks and will become beautiful women in the future. Moreover, they all come from well-known families and are proficient in appearance, embroidery, and poetry and music. She is the maidservant of the inner court trained for the princes and nobles.
Gao Cai went back and forth several times and could only barely pick out four or five that were passable, but according to his master's requirements, these were actually not ideal. So he turned to the woman in charge and asked, "Are these the best in the garden? Are there any more? Bring them out quickly."
The housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and replied: "Back to Eunuch Gao, these are the best ones in the garden at present."
"That's all? You guys at Qingniaoyuan have been doing things more and more perfunctorily recently. Let's go and find a solution for the Za family." Gao Cai said impatiently.
"Yes, yes, please wait a moment, Eunuch Gao. This servant will go to the backyard to select someone." After saying that, the housekeeper hurriedly arranged for someone to go to the backyard to select someone.
At this moment, intermittent yelling and the crying of girls came from the side yard of Qingniao Garden. Gao Cai looked in the direction of the side yard unhappily, which frightened the housekeeper, who hurriedly asked someone to go to the side yard to see what was going on. Gao Cai didn't wait for others to rush over, but he raised his legs and walked towards the side yard.
In a corner of the side yard, an old woman was holding a broom, beating the two girls in the corner desperately, and kept yelling and cursing.
"You two bitches, you can't even do a small thing like fetching water, and yet you still think you are the original eldest lady? Itchy bitches."
The two girls huddled in the corner had tears on their faces, raising their arms to resist the broomsticks falling on them like raindrops. Among them, the older girl was desperately protecting the younger one behind her, and she was still begging for mercy.
"Please, don't hit my sister. I accidentally knocked over the bucket. Just punish me. It's none of my sister's business." The older girl begged.
"You despicable thing, you still dare to talk back? Let me beat you to death." As he said that, the old woman beat her even more vigorously.
At this time, Gao Cai came over, and a group of people were following him.
"Wait a minute -!" Gao Cai shouted unhurriedly.
When the old woman turned around and saw Gao Cai shouting and supporting him, she knew that she had just scolded too loudly and disturbed this gentleman. He hurriedly put down the broom in his hand and knelt on the ground, lowering his head very low, not daring to raise his eyes, let alone make a sound.
The people around him were staring with big eyes at this moment, not daring to speak. I don’t know how this Eunuch Gao plans to deal with this matter?
Gao Cai glanced at the old woman and then moved his eyes to the two girls. The two girls were seen to be six or seven years old. They were wearing green clothes, small jackets, round-top cloth shoes, and their black hair was tied behind their necks. Although her face was covered with tears, her nose and mouth were small, fair and pink, and her eyebrows were delicate. It was obvious that they were all standard beauties.
"I want these two, take them away." After Gao Cai finished speaking, he turned and left. The old woman didn't even bother to look at them again.
The housekeeper said "Yes" and hurriedly ran over to pull the two girls up. She kept chanting, "Huang Chun'er, Huang Xue'er, you two are really blessed. Today, you are favored by a noble man. You will definitely have fine clothes and fine food in the future. Come with me to clean up so that you can return home with your nobles."
Just as the two girls followed the housekeeper and passed in front of the old woman kneeling on the ground, the sister named Huang Xueer stopped and wiped the tears on her face with her sleeves. He said to the old woman: "Today you beat, scold and humiliate my two sisters. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you twice as much."
The elder sister named Huang Chun'er, seeing her sister acting like this, hurriedly came over to hold her and whispered: "Xue'er, stop talking nonsense, and don't cause trouble again."
After saying that, he nodded slightly to the old woman as an apology, and pulled Xueer to follow the housekeeper in front again.
Gao Cai, who had not gone far in front, heard the conversation behind him, turned around and saw the scene in front of him, a smile appeared in his sinister eyes, and he nodded with satisfaction. Asked Huang Xue'er: "Your name is Xue'er?"
Huang Xueer was stunned for a moment, then nodded gently and whispered "yes" in a low voice.
"If you don't want to be humiliated anymore, you have to make yourself stronger. Only when you are strong, others will be afraid of you." After speaking, Gao Cai walked away with three steps.
Huang Xueer looked at this man with a sharp voice, fair skin, and a strange aura. (Well, let’s call him a man for now.) I secretly made up my mind to become a strong person and never suffer the humiliation like today again...
At this moment, in the Beihu Grassland of Hezhou, inside the felt tent of Shao Xi of the Tote Department.
Old Wu lay on the quilt and kept rubbing his butt. He complained: "Master, I know you are angry, but you have never had such a big temper before, let alone such strength. Can we be gentler next time? Just mean it."
Shao Xi held up the Cuiyu Sword and looked at it curiously, while saying casually: "Don't think that I can't do anything to you because you run fast. I have many ways to beat a dog behind closed doors and catch turtles in an urn."
Lao Wu feels miserable! He was able to run out just now, but he didn't know that this little ancestor had tied up the curtain of the felt tent in advance, and his whole face was printed on the curtain.
"Oh, after decades of traveling in the rivers and lakes, the boat finally capsized in the ditch. What a bad luck." As he said this, Old Wu turned over and lay down.
But at the next moment, he immediately rolled back and continued to rub his butt. If the female head of the Qianyu Sect knew that their mountain treasure was held by a little brat and used to spank an old man, I wonder if she would go crazy.
"You also said you wanted to teach me martial arts, but you didn't even want to teach me your own skills that you have mastered for decades." Shao Xi complained at the side.
"It's not that I don't want to teach you. It's just that my body skills are only suitable for climbing over walls and houses to escape. It doesn't match your temperament at all with the Cuiyu Sword."
Shao Xi was instantly seduced. Said: "Escape in embarrassment or wait for death handsomely, guess which one I will choose?"
When Lao Wu heard this, it made sense! Anyway, I haven't found any good movement secrets yet, so I might as well use my own to make up the numbers. When there are good secrets in the future, let the young master show off his coolness.
"Okay, since the young master wants to learn, let's start with the body skills starting tomorrow."
"That's it! By the way, your movement is as fast as a high-speed train. What's your name?"
Lao Wu found that today's young masters always say some incomprehensible words, and now he is not surprised.
"Old man, this body technique of mine is called the 'Lifeless Movement Technique'. Back then, even the top masters from various sects, few could catch up with me."
Speaking of this, Lao Wu was also shaking his head very proudly.
"Lifeless Movement Technique? Isn't this name too unlucky? If you learn this movement technique, won't you lose your own life?" Shao Xi couldn't help complaining.
"Master, you don't know something. The reason why this body technique is called lifeless is because it is used to escape. If you can't escape after using this body technique, you will really die."
"Hey! It looks like you're going to die today."
"Hey——! Hey! Master, are you still coming?"
