Forget it, his opinion doesn't matter anyway, and Kong Fang won't ask the question.
"Your two sisters had a tough time dealing with bandits last night. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle them alone. After all, a tiger alone cannot defeat a pack of wolves."
"My lord, there is still me."
A man came outside the door. Kong Fang looked familiar, and as soon as he recalled it, he remembered that he was Guan Yu, the former thorn in the county army.
"Are you my guard too?"
Guan Yu bowed and responded: "Yes, sir, the captain sent me to protect you. From today on, I will be your personal guard, protecting you together with Mr. Fang."
"The captain sent you here?" Kong Fang was a little surprised.
Although Fang Shiqing's attitude towards him had changed, he never thought that she would send someone to protect him.
Warmth suddenly surged in his heart.
Although Tigress is violent, she actually has her own thoughts in her heart.
"The eldest young lady and the second young lady are still thoughtful. It is difficult to get rid of the bandits. This is the best way at the moment." Mr. Luo said.
"Shibo, little brother, the safety of the county magistrate is left to you. The bandits are ferocious and cunning. You must remember not to be lax or negligent in any way."
He turned to Fang Shibo and Guan Yu.
The two nodded solemnly.
With his personal safety temporarily guaranteed, Kong Fang no longer seemed so entangled. He thought about Cao Yan's ghostwriting. Fang Shibo was back and it seemed that he was no longer needed.
"Sir, isn't Cao Yan here?"
Mr. Luo looked slightly embarrassed. The reason why Kong Fang wanted to find a ghostwriter was because Fang Shibo was not at home. Now that he is back, Cao Yan is obviously redundant.
He was glad that he didn't bring him with him, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing.
How could Kong Fanglan not know what Mr. Luo was thinking? "Sir, are you worried that Cao Yan will no longer be useful?"
Mr. Luo stroked his beard and said nothing.
He thought of Cao Yan's family disciple Sibi, and how he excitedly thought he had found a job for him, but...well, he sighed in his heart.
"Sir, you thought wrong." Kong Fang continued.
Mr. Luo's eyes lit up, but he didn't know what Kong Fang meant.
"There are three hundred people in the county army and dozens of war horses. The food and chewing of horses, the storage and supply of swords, guns, arrows and halberds are top priorities. I need a quartermaster to help me deal with these things."
"Sir, with Cao Yan's talent, can he be qualified?"
Mr. Luo perked up and said, "Yes! Thank you, Lord County!" Although the quartermaster is not an official, the quartermaster of the county army is not even close to an "official".
In modern terms, it is not within the system and is considered a temporary worker at most.
But as long as Kong Fang is still the magistrate of Qinghe County and the county army still exists, Cao Yan will have the opportunity to continue working. He may never get fame, but he will always have food and clothing.
For Luopo scholar Cao Yan, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity, many times better than ghostwriting.
Kong Fang wrote a letter and asked Mr. Luo to bring it to Cao Yan, and asked him to report directly to the county army barracks tomorrow.
Mr. Luo left happily.
After taking care of business, Kong returned to the backyard, followed by two bodyguards.
Kong Fang has seen Guan Yu's bastard boxing before. It looks tough, but in fact it is his own creation. It is messy and relies on brute force and bravery. It's okay to fight bravely on the street, but to be your own bodyguard, don't you need some training? ?
For the sake of his own safety, Kong Fang wanted to try Guan Yu, so he deliberately encouraged Fang Shibo to compete with him. Fang Shibo had a childlike nature, and with just a few words he was able to draw out his soft sword.
Instead, Guan Yu hesitated.
Under Fang Shiqing's training these days, his unruly character was almost worn away by her, and he became a little more cautious.
Fang Shibo was the younger brother of the two captains and the brother-in-law of the county magistrate. How could he dare to compete with him so easily?
Swords and guns have no eyesight, what if it hurts him?
"Sir, I don't actually know martial arts. Wangbaquan is my own creation, which is a desperate move for street fighting; as for swordsmanship, it is an enemy-killing technique practiced with soldiers in the barracks. It is only suitable for fighting on the battlefield, not for fighting. Suitable for martial arts competition."
He was frank.
The bastard boxing is just random output, with no moves or rules at all; the barracks sword skills are nothing more than splitting, blocking, teasing, stabbing, and slashing, simple and rough, without any fancy.
But his tone didn't mean to admit defeat. The implication was that he didn't want to compete because what he learned was not suitable for martial arts, and he was afraid of hurting others and making it difficult to explain.
Kong Fang heard his pride, but did not tell him clearly, and then readily solved his worries. He gave each of them a wooden sword, and emphasized that the two sides were competing in martial arts, and no one was allowed to hold grudges no matter who won or lost.
"hey-hey……"
A thorn is always a thorn. With Kong Fang's guarantee, Guan Yu immediately became excited and thought that he had to get some benefits from Fang Shibo. He didn't care if the other party was a young brat.
When you pick up a sword and a gun, you become a soldier. The battlefield is only about life and death, not age.
He took the wooden knife and pulled out several knife patterns, which were stylish.
Fang Shibo was not frightened when facing an opponent who was half a height taller than him. Instead, he carried the wooden knife casually, seemingly not paying attention to his opponent.
Guan Yu was so stimulated that his eyebrows twitched several times. If it weren't for his opponent's transcendent status, he would probably have cursed her.
"Master Fang, please..."
He holds a wooden knife in his hand, with the blade facing inward, the tip of his head facing down, and his hands clasped in fists, looking very quaint.
"Take the move!"
He wanted to strike first, and he was very fast. The distance of three meters away seemed to be reached in the blink of an eye. Kong Fang was a little surprised. Apparently his speed was several times faster than before.
The speed of his progress is not very scientific.
Fang Shibo was unhurried and did not retreat but advanced. Although he was small, the momentum of the wooden sword in his hand was even greater than that of Guan Yu, and the faint sound of the wooden sword cutting through the air current could be heard.
Kong Fang was once again surprised by Fang Shibo's strength.
I almost never saw him practicing martial arts, but he refreshed Kong Fang's three views time and time again.
"Ba...ba..."
The sound of wooden knives hitting each other was like raindrops hitting the tiles. Both sides shot very quickly, and Kong Fang could only see the shadow of two wooden knives.
Guan Yu had the inherent advantage of being taller and longer, but after fighting for a long time, he didn't even touch Fang Shibo's shirt.
Gradually his temper grew.
"hack!"
"cut!"
"prick!"
"pick!"
.........
He shouted while making moves, and shouted while making moves. Each move is faster than the last, and each move is more powerful than the last. He had forgotten Fang Shibo's identity and completely regarded him as his opponent.
Kong Fang had seen the county soldiers drill, but Guan Yu seemed to have the momentum of three hundred people by himself at this time.
He narrowed his eyes and wondered, could it be that Guan Yu was one of those legendary martial arts talents with unique bones and extraordinary talents? Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to practice his sword skills so well in just a few days.
Although Fang Shibo was short in stature, he had unicorn arms that made Kong Fang intimidated, and he also had a family background.
Therefore, although Guan Yu is as powerful as a rainbow, he is still slightly inferior.
