From sunrise to sunset, the school grounds in Ma Sheng Lane are filled with noise and shouts throughout the day.
Cursing, laughing, roaring, screaming...even neat chants.
Such lively scenes do not happen every day. Although there were many people practicing here every day in the past, there were definitely not as many as now. This was a sudden change from a few days ago.
Why?
for money.
To be precise, it is for the reward for the end-of-month evaluation of the Office of Affairs. Regardless of whether you are a waist knife or a street wanderer, as long as you pass the test, you will be awarded the same monthly reward as the current month. Equivalent to double monthly payment for the current month. Who wouldn’t be tempted by this for a waist-knife kid or a street wanderer?
And martial arts is an important criterion for evaluation. This also made many people who were not diligent in practicing on weekdays tighten their grip and began to walk into the school grounds whenever they had free time. Regardless of whether it works or not, if you don’t try it, how will you know whether it’s a good one or not?
Not many street wanderers dare to enter the school grounds, after all, the place is already filled with knives. Therefore, the small woods outside the East City have become places where street wanderers gather to learn from each other. There are few people there and the place is sufficient. I heard that Zuodao practiced here before, which can be regarded as a good fortune.
Of course, the reason why almost all street wanderers and waist knives are so positive is money, but money is not the only reason. Another reason is that the evaluation party for the end-of-month rewards is not their respective red knives, but the affairs hall. The affairs hall now has There are no knives or streetwalkers here. There is no favoritism or private messages. It is the most fair. This made everyone feel like they had a chance.
Amid this unprecedented enthusiasm, Yang Xiu is perhaps the happiest person among all the red swordsmen in the sword shop to have such an enthusiastic response from the people below him about this increase in monthly salary.
There is no other reason. Yang Xiu now controls 90% of the waist knives in Dongcheng Sword Hall, and is mainly responsible for killing. Yao Daozi is diligent in practicing, which is a good thing no matter what, and it can definitely be regarded as his errand achievement.
Yang Xiu is an old man on the front line of the Sword Hall, and the strength of a second-grade warrior is all honed in scars. He is very good at training people. Even though Yang Xiu has never had so many waist knives at his disposal like now. You can imagine the excitement in my heart.
Yang Xiu's choice was to first check out everyone's approximate combat strengths, and then group them into groups. The upper, middle, and lower combat strengths correspond to different situations. This has been proven over time in Yang Xiu's killings and is useful. . Then after the groups are divided, each group will practice the combined attack technique. These two sets of actions can best increase your immediate combat power.
After four days of this, Yang Xiu finally managed to get through all the knives in his hands. The combat power was divided into more than a dozen groups, and now he began to practice the combined attack technique in each group. He also goes to the school field every day to personally supervise the training, and will step forward to correct the slightest mistake.
"The Red Knife."
"what's up?"
"Zudao, please come over now."
Yang Xiu's stern face immediately melted away, and he immediately came down from the school grounds with an anxious look, all the way to the small courtyard that is now Bailang's office.
"Subordinate, please refer to the sword!"
"Sit down and talk." Bai Lang gradually became familiar with Yang Xiu, but he would never be as friendly as he was with Liu Xu and Zhou Dong. It’s not like we’re really going to have a heart-to-heart relationship. Most of them still focus on the relationship between superiors and subordinates.
"Have you settled everything at hand?"
"As for returning to the sword, it's almost done. Now, taking advantage of the excitement of the people below, seize the time to practice the combined attack technique, and then you can say that you have preliminary combat power. If you pull it out, you can fight, kill and resist. Wait. After a few rounds of killing formations, you will become more familiar with it.”
Bai Lang waited for the guards below to bring Yang Xiu tea before continuing: "Is Yang Hongdao familiar with Xicheng Knife Hall?"
Hearing Bai Lang talk about this, Yang Xiu tensed up subconsciously, and the aura that was originally a bit flattering and humble suddenly changed, becoming a bit more murderous.
"Zu Dao, in our Dongcheng Knife Hall, we have to talk about our understanding of those bastards in West City. If my subordinates think they are second, no one will dare to think they are first!"
"Then tell me what you know about the situation there."
"I wonder what Zudao wants to hear?"
"It doesn't matter, pick what you think is important."
Although Yang Xiu didn't know why Bailang suddenly asked this, he still answered as he was told. He was familiar with everything about the Xicheng Swordsmanship Hall and could tell it without thinking.
Just listen to Yang Xiu say: "This subordinate is in charge of killing, let's talk about killing.
The combat power in Xicheng Sword Hall is actually about the same as ours. This is a situation that the City Lord's Mansion has been deliberately maintaining. Previously, the Qi Masters at Xicheng Sword Hall were Lin Yue and Xiu Qi, and here we are Tang Yan and Chen Zhiyun. Now that the latter two are dead, Xiu Qi is also dead, but after you, Zuodao, took over, this is equivalent to returning to a balance of power at the level of Qi warriors after several twists and turns.
So the real difference from Xicheng Knife Museum is the number of red knives and waist knives. This is also the reason why many of our territories have been disrupted and encroached upon by Xicheng Knife Shop in recent times.
Because there are fewer manpower, even if the street wanderers notice something is wrong, they cannot recruit enough manpower to deal with it. The territory changes hands as soon as one comes and goes.
The most fierce fight at present is on Chuanzhu Street. Most of the street has fallen into the hands of those bastards. The one who took action there was Li Guang, the red sword under Lin Yue. The more than thirty people under his command are all elites of the fourth and fifth grades. I had a fight with him the day before yesterday, and our men were hurt by each other. "
"Then Li Guang is also a second-grade warrior like you?"
"Yes, Zu Dao. I fought with him no less than fifty times, both large and small, and each had his own victory or defeat."
"Then if you are asked to capture Li Guang, what can you do?" Bai Lang suddenly said this, and Yang Xiu, who was sitting on the chair opposite him, was so startled that he almost jumped up.
"Zudao, are you saying you want to fight back?!"
"What? Hasn't Yang Hongdao thought about this? If not, then Yang Hongdao can start thinking carefully about how to get back the lost territory of Chuanzhu Street. You and Li Guang are equally powerful, and Li Guang has only thirty people under his command, so what if they are elite? How many people do you have under your command now?
Coupled with some arrangements, it would be okay not to kill Li Guang accidentally but at least to make him suffer a big fall, right?
It depends on whether you have confidence or not. "
As soon as Bai Lang finished speaking, Yang Xiu stood up suddenly. He raised his voice and said, "I have confidence!"
"Very good. After you go down, you can make a plan to take back Chuanzhu Street. At the same time, after taking Chuanzhu Street, you can continue to go deeper into the west city. I remember that one of their money shops is not far from Chuanzhu Street. It’s only two streets away, so it’s closer if you cross the wall, right?”
"Yes, the sword! If you take the Huizhuan Street and continue to cross the wall to the west, you can reach a money shop there in the west city without even taking a cup of tea. It can be easily destroyed by a surprise attack!"
