Chapter 41 Drumbeat

Xiaoxuan settled her food and clothing, breathed her breath, her tiredness surged from her heart, and her eyelids couldn't stop sinking. Just after a while of rest, there was a white veil from the deacon of the medical room, a lamp and candles from the guard of the outer hall, and a futon for the guard of Gukou.

Xiaoxuan frowned and asked, "Putuan? At this time, what else do you want to do with the futon?"

The protector of the matter explained with a smile: "The futon is thick, and you can stack it up with bows and arrows!"

"Borrow arrows from the grass boat!" Xiaoxuan smiled and immediately wrote down the collar. ... one by one, one by one, has to be decided by her. It's past noon when Xiaoyue returns to lunch.

Xiao Xuan looked at the bowls of rice in front of him and frowned and doubted, "Do you usually eat rice?"

Xiaoyue covered her mouth and smiled softly: "Senior sister didn't see it. Twenty stoves are lined up on both sides. On one side is a steamer for steamed rice, and on the other hand, there is a big pot of stir-frying. The steamers are built more than ten floors high, and the big pots are stir-fried with shovels. More than 20 mothers stand on the stove to stir-fry. You come and go, like a grain. I arranged another 20 female disciples to help with chores, and dozens of people were still busy. In the past, they ate a running water mat, so I changed it to rice bowl. When he came, he directly queued up with Tao Bo and left after eating, just like a horse lantern. He pointed to the pottery bowl and said with a smile, "Well, this is, the bottom is the dish, and the top is the rice. It's only been more than a quarter of an hour since the meal was over.

Xiaoxuan happily agreed: "It's done well, but it's not difficult. Why hasn't it been so sharp before!"

"In the past, Elder Ma served every meal to the hall supervisors to support the facade. Since he started, he couldn't erase his face and changed it, so he got rid of this mess." Xiaoyue couldn't help laughing: "This senior sister sent the rice bowl to Elder Ma, which refuted his face in front of everyone. I don't know whether he can eat it or not!"

While talking, Rong Hui strode into the door, with a trace of excitement at the corners of his mouth: "Xiaoxuan, I have chosen good people, a total of 50 masters of light skills. I asked them to come to the 'Taishimen' from time to time. Do you want to have a look?

Without saying that, Xiaojuan came in quickly: "Sister, the cotton warehouse is empty. Everyone praises you!"

"It's empty!" Xiaoxuan didn't care either. She asked Rong Hui and Xiaojuan to sit down: "Let's have lunch first!"

After lunch at Taishimen, Xiaoyue made four cups of hot tea and took the opportunity to ask, "What should we do next?"

Xiaoxuan handed the pair of cards to Xiaojuan again: "When someone comes later, you take them to the arsenal."

"The arsenal?" Rong Hui waved his hand and declined: "No, no! You haven't taught me swords yet. They also have taken advantage of the swords.

Xiaoxuan smiled and said, "You will know when you go!"

Rong Hui was shocked after accompanying Xiaojuan to the arsenal with 50 outer hall guardians. The shelves on all sides are full of blades, large and small, long and short, with blades and handles.

Everyone was stunned. Xiaojuan had lifted a cage in the corner and turned around and said, "Come here, everyone, this is a cicada wing yarn, each person has a set." With that, he bowed down and took it out and passed it to everyone one by one.

Yong Hui took over a set, which was really as light as clouds and smoke, as thin as cicada wings. He couldn't help but wonder: "Good thing, what a good thing!"

Xiaojuan greeted everyone again: "You are masters of light skills, and your achievements in hidden weapons must not be low!" He pointed to the southwest shelf and said, "There are flying knives, darts, and iron bodhis. Everyone is familiar with it!"

Everyone was overjoyed, came up to choose and talked about it: "Look, this iron bodhi is pure steel." And this flying knife, make a decision!" Good thing, what a good thing!" ......

Rong Hui was stunned and knew that he was ignorant. Unfortunately, I haven't practiced the hidden weapon, so I have to look around. Xiaojuan opened another box of leather belts and greeted everyone: "This is a load-bearing belt, one for each person." Then like a trick, black silk mesh towels, soft-soled soap boots, gold gloves... were turned out one by one, which made everyone feel itchy.

Xiaojuan quietly went out of the house and gently closed the door. The people in the room looked at each other and smiled, widened their coats and changed into new clothes one after another. Rong Hui twisted his body and couldn't help sighing: "This dress is as light as if it hasn't been worn!"

Everyone laughed, the atmosphere relaxed, and someone immediately echoed: "Everyone doesn't know! This kind of clothing can't be cut, the sword can't be worn, it can't be burned in case of fire, it dries away from the water, and it can't be bought with money on the market. I heard that it was the one that penetrated the big inside secret!"

Some people exclaimed: "I didn't expect that there was such a good thing in my door, so I don't know where it came from."

Everyone looked sideways and inquired, and Rong Hui had to respond with a smile: "Money can make ghosts push hard, what else can't be bought!"

After everyone finished wearing it, they put on their old clothes and went out. Xiaojuan held a brocade box head-on and opened it to introduce to everyone: "This is a 'hand-throwing cannon' specially made by the pin master. When it explodes, it makes a sound that can open the monument and crack stones!"

Everyone has played the "hand-throwing cannon". If you fall with your hands and step on it with your feet, you can explode. Everyone immediately surrounded and saw a box of bamboo tubes, each one foot long and two inches thick, and the word "shock" engraved at the middle end, which was very exquisite.

Xiaojuan solemnly warned: "24 pieces per cylinder, one cylinder per person. Remember to go with the wind. Otherwise, it's interesting to turn yourself over!" Everyone was shocked and remembered it. They held the bamboo tube in turn and hung it gently on the load-bearing belt before returning to their respective residences.

Xiao Xuan had lunch, drank hot tea, and finally crooked on the beauty's couch. Seeing that she was sleepy, Xiaoyue couldn't help comforting: "Sister, it's okay. Let's take a break!"

"What's okay!" Xiaoxuan clearly has a lot of things in her heart. How dare she sleep? She gently closed her eyes and discussed the reward and punishment: "It's time to manage food and shelter. It costs money to hire people, let alone work hard? Tell me..."

Xiaoyue heard the sound and knew Ya, such as several treasures: "In the army, I rewarded him for his meritorious deeds, and he captured six people in the battle and was promoted to one level. 18 people, promoted to the third level. Those who behead the thief in the battle will be rewarded with 30 taels of silver. Collaborators will be rewarded with five taels of silver. Kill the first thief in the battle and reward ten taels of silver. Those who cooperate will be rewarded with two taels of silver. Kill one person in the battle and reward five taels of silver. More than six people, ten taels each. Those who are killed in the battle will be promoted to one level, or 30 taels will be rewarded. Those who return to the camp and died will be promoted to the same level, or be rewarded with seven taels of silver.

"There is a martial arts master at the foot of the mountain. Double it!" Xiaoxuan lay on the couch and muttered, "Give me your words, capture one person in front of the battle and reward ten taels of silver. Up to six people, one class, each person will be rewarded with ten taels. Up to 12 people, upgrade to two, and each person will add another 10 taels. 18 people will be promoted to the third class, and in the future, each person will add another 10 taels. Behead the leader, reward one hundred taels, and upgrade to one level. Those who cooperate will be rewarded with ten taels. The capture and beheading will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver, and 5 taels of silver will be rewarded to those who cooperate. The dead will be compensated for a hundred taels. Those who return to the mountain with serious injuries will be rewarded with 20 taels. He was seriously injured and did not die. He was also promoted to the first level and was rewarded with thirty taels..." The voice became smaller and smaller, and he wanted to fall asleep again.

Xiaoyue broke her finger and counted: "The annual salary of third-class protection, 50 taels of second-class protection, and 100 taels of first-class protection..." The more she said, the more shocked she became: "There are 20,000 people at the foot of the mountain. Can we afford to fight like this?"

"If the wool comes out of the sheep, if we are taken, we will have a hundred..." Xiaoxuan closed her eyes and muttered, "Go ahead, let the hall masters report the achievements of the past few days first, and then reorganize the manpower, ten people, one team, five teams and one flag... Ask Elder Ma how much silver there is still on the mountain, and I will leave this matter to you..." Yue The more vague he said, the more he fell asleep. Xiaoyue laughed dumbly, covered her with a quilt, and went out to order the two guardians to guard carefully before going to do the job.

The sound of drums hit my heart and refreshed my spirit. Xiaoxuan woke up in shock and exclaimed, "What's wrong!" I only heard Xiaoyue comfort him: "It's okay. It's okay. It's my brother-in-law who is beating the drum and ordering soldiers." My heart widened and woke up. Sure enough, the drums were rapid and loud.

She reacted and frowned: "A soldier? What a soldier!"

"Hmm!" Xiaoyue nodded to make sure and pointed out of the window: "It's outside."

Xiaoxuan followed the situation and saw that the clothes under the autumn sun were shining, from the front of the "Taishi Gate" to the outside of the "Taisu Gate". Black pressure is all protection. She was shocked and asked, "What's going on!"

"Sister, it's a good thing. I just went down to spread the message. As soon as I went out, I met my sister, the head and 50 guardians back. Xiaoyue was also a little stunned and said, "I told them about it first. Others just nodded and agreed, but the leader said: How can a girl pass on a message one by one? They still think you are a family! Others agreed more when they heard it. Someone went to lift the drum on the spot, and the others consciously ordered to gather!"

"It's my careless!" Xiaoxuan heard her sister's "Master" and smiled happily: "Such a big thing should indeed be a little moving. This platoon of troops was indeed done by men!" As she spoke, the drums stopped, and she raised her head again and looked carefully.

Rong Hui held a drum hammer, stood on the doorstep with a radiant face, and said to everyone, "Oh, masters, they are all internal masters!" So many masters didn't expect to be driven to the mountain by a group of fat sheep. It's really humiliating. Everyone is a face-to-face figure in the world. How can we hang out in the world in the future!"

This word spit out, fluttering, and the sound suddenly covered all the noises. Rong Hui saw more than a thousand pairs of eyes staring at him, and his back was hot. He coughed gently and then said, "However, it's not surprising that everyone's practice is not good and their cultivation is shallow. They are just scared by those 20,000 people. Out of caution, everyone avoids its edge first in order to retain their power. Seeing everyone nodding, his heart suddenly became enlightened, and he raised his drum mallet, and the saliva flew straight in his mouth: "But it's not necessary at all. To tell everyone honestly, it's a group of fat sheep. Each of them is either 300 taels or 500 taels!"

Rong Hui said and sold a barrier: "Everyone wants to ask again, bring money. They are here to rob. What are you doing with money!" Seeing that everyone's eyes were shining, they knew that they had come to the point and answered themselves, "I told everyone that they thought that as soon as they came, Lianshan would be readily available. But there are more monks and less porridge. Some people can't get it, so they can only pay for it. Xiong Yingtian released a message, like this unique trick 'star ring pole', one hundred taels to buy, the higher the price will get!"

"Xiaoxuan broke six swords in one move under the Mid-Autumn Festival." It has long been rumored as a good story. There was even this protective move in the field, and I couldn't help cursing: "Sister, I'm looking for death!" The old man doesn't know the depth of heaven and earth!" ...An uproar.

Rong Hui took advantage of the heat to hit the iron and continued to fan: "There's more! Thirty-six 'palms' of this door, three hundred and sixty-two shots... In the secrets of martial arts, the red wolf also released harsh words: once he rushed up the mountain, the man was killed on the spot, and the woman's captured went back to be the wife of the village..."

Xiaoxuan frowned and couldn't help stroking his forehead: "This is to stimulate morale. That's right, but what kind of tone is this? How can it be like a street play!" Thinking of "pointing soldiers" and "playing tricks" are both beating and gathering people. It is true that there are similarities and similarities, and I am angry and funny.

She saw that her husband was still heartlessly encouraging everyone, and a group of people were even more eager to try, so she couldn't help stroking her forehead and smiling bitterly: "My sister is married to an inhumane!"

Xiaoyue glanced at her senior sister, and her eyes were full of sympathy. At a glance, I saw Xiaojuan holding the watchbook in her hand, which was brilliant, as if the collector in the store was still very useful. He couldn't stop suffering: "Master, I'm sorry for you!"

Seeing the excitement of the group, Rong Hui said to the point: "I don't know if you can swallow such a great shame. Anyway, I can't swallow it!" They insult us, and we can't swallow our anger. Everyone said, "What should we do!"

"Kill--", with one voice, shocked the four fields. Rong Hui was shocked and couldn't help taking half a step back. Xiaojuan immediately took two steps, unfolded the table, and announced loudly: "Take one person in front of the battle and reward ten taels of silver. Up to six people, one class, each person will be rewarded with ten taels. ......

The group is solemn, listening attentively, and the war spirit in their eyes sprayed straight out. Rong Hui waited for Xiaojuan to finish reading and announced loudly: "Everyone has seen it. Xiaoxuan and I have joined hands, and one battle can shock a group of bandits. But after all, we only have two people. Can we really fight against thousands? To put it bluntly, there are only two points. First, we cooperate well, and second, they really don't look at it!"

said one word, and everyone nods. Rong Hui began to distribute people: "As the saying goes, 'donkeys, horses and mules have their own strengths'. Only when we show our strengths can we shed less blood and earn more money. Everyone said, didn't they?"

Everyone shouted in unison: "Yes--"

Rong Hui continued: "If you rush forward, you have to be brave and good at fighting. The two sides have to fight against each other and have a strict Chinese army. After retreating, there must be experienced guards. Now I make ten people into one team, five teams as one flag, and two flags as one general flag..."

Rong Hui is learning to sell now. He was talking happily when someone shouted behind him: "No! There are people gathering at the foot of the mountain!"

said, and the whole audience was in an uproar: "Let's go, do his sister!" It's the opposite!" ......

Seeing that the group was excited, Rong Hui was about to disperse the guy. He quickly took a deep breath and exhaled in a deep voice: "What's the panic!" The three words were like thunder, and after a few breaths, echoes came one after another: "What's panic-" "What-" "?"......

The people in the field took this power, shut up and couldn't help sighing in their hearts: "This, this is the 'innate realm'." Rong Hui's eyes were like a front, glanced at the crowd, stabbed the summoning disciple at the mouth of 'Taisu Gate', and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter? Isn't there a smoke in Gukou?"

The two are 20 feet apart, but their eyes seem to be close at hand. The summoning disciple was shocked and hurriedly arched his hand and reported: "It's warm afternoon, and the pine smoke could not fall to the bottom of the valley, so they took the opportunity to sneak attack."

Since ancient times, there is no first, and there is no second in martial arts. Rong Hui felt good and simply said, "If everyone trusts me, I will immediately lead people to rush for a while and come out with my brothers who dare to fight with me!"

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately echoed: "I'll come!" Count me in!" ... In the shouting, hundreds of people rushed out one after another and squeezed under the front steps of the door.

Rong Hui did his best and shouted loudly, "beat the drum and prepare the horse, follow me to watch the battle!" With that, he jumped up, turned over, spread his arms and swept out. In a blink of an eye, he was already standing in front of the "Taisu Gate", so the back team changed to the front team and followed each other.
