Chapter 186 New Year's Goods

"You must get used to aiming with your eyes. The enemy will not give you time to aim on the battlefield. You have to draw arrows and shoot. The eyes can easily search for the target, and you can use the afterglow to observe the surrounding movement, saving time. Have you heard it clearly?"

"I heard it clearly!"

These soldiers are very standardized, but it is difficult to set a goal. When Xiao Ran demonstrated the effect, everyone felt that it was not impossible to achieve. Because only 1,000 out of 1,200 people can participate in the imperial city school inspection, it also makes the soldiers with backward achievements rise up and form a virtuous circle, which greatly improves the enthusiasm of soldiers. Even if Xiao Ran is not present, there will be a general to lead the team for training. The punishment system is strict. The last 200 people in the daily heavy-bearing running and other events were punished five times, and the first 200 people had extra meals in the evening.

Although it is hard to practice, I also enjoy it. Xia Yu also sent Xiao Ran to watch the training place, and he was also puzzled to hear this training mode. The end of the year is approaching, and it is lively everywhere, and a big event has happened in the world. After investigation, Jiangnan Perak Hall has colluded with Baihua Tower and has betrayed the right path. Under the leadership of the monks of Shaolin Temple, he cooperated with the masters of the five schools to extinguish the dress, and only the remnants were scattered in the rivers and lakes.

In the same month, the Wudang faction fought with Yan Luodian because three disciples were killed. Hundreds were killed and injured. Some people say that it was a deliberate provocation by the devil, and some news came out that it was because the disciples of the Wudang School found the whereabouts of Qixing Stone that they were killed. In short, there is continuous friction between various sizes, and some small sects in the two paths have begun to play against each other.

Although Xiao Ran did not walk around in the world, he also made Xia Ruoyan pay attention to the movements of the major factions. Hearing the news, he was stunned and returned to normal and said, "The extreme must be reversed. It has been 16 years since the last Zhengmo War. Because both the five schools of righteousness and the three schools of the demon religion have recovered from great injury. It seems that it is inevitable. It can't be a bloody storm, but it's a little abnormal that the first demon religion and the five poison religion that reappeared in the world in the past did not move.

Xia Ruoyan shook her head and said, "There is nothing to do on the surface, but the followers move frequently. They must be planning something big. The news from the spies of the Five Poisons Sect, the "Holy Beast" of the Five Poisons Sect disappeared, and the followers searched in nine states in the south. It is believed that it will soon spread to the rest of the states and counties, which is estimated that this is also an excuse for them to expand their power.

Xiao Ran's heart skipped: "Holy beast?" The Five Poisons Religion is located in Miaojiang, close to 100,000 mountains. Is the Xuanjin cloud pattern python that is forced and lured by itself the holy beast in the mouth of the Five Poisons Religion? It seems that this is really possible. No wonder Fengyi asked himself those words, which must be. If the Five Poisons religion knows that he hides the holy beast as a thug, it's strange that he doesn't fight with himself, and he can't let Xiaojin appear easily in the future.

"There is also a possibility. It is rumored that the last demon war also started because of the seven-star stone, and this time it also has its shadow. Is there really another mystery in the sentence 'seven stars converge, wind and clouds change color'?" Xiao Ran calmly suppressed his heart with surprise

Xia Ruoyan stretched out her hand with wisps of green silk and said, "If only one person in the world knows the secret of the seven-star stone, it is Su Jingtao, the first master of martial arts who has been missing for many years. Unfortunately, no one knows its whereabouts so far.

There are two circles in the Tang Dynasty, one is the world under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and the other is under the jurisdiction of many innate masters. Although the number of the latter is small, it is extremely special. Some shady things should also be done with the help of martial arts people, which also caused the court to turn a blind eye. Some gangs themselves are secretly serving the court. Therefore, the Xia military's intelligence network is extremely complex and not much worse than Tianji Palace. If even the Xia family can't find out, it may be difficult for anyone to know.

"What is the effect of Brother Xiao coming in to train? The end of the year is approaching. Do you want to buy some New Year's goods to reward the soldiers?" There seems to be a trace of expectation in Xia Ruoyan's eyes.

Xiao Ran nodded and smiled, "These days have indeed increased the amount of training. Today, let's go to the street to buy New Year's goods with Yaner."

"Really?" Xia Ruoyan was a little disbelieving and said to herself, "When will this nerd be enlightened? Can you understand what I think?"

Xiao Ran was stunned and then nodded. I feel ashamed in my heart. It turns out that the requirements of cigarettes are so simple. How did she know the meaning of Xia Ruoyan's words, but it has been two months since the Shangshui business cooperated by Liu's Commercial Bank. Thousands of soldiers and Xiaojin and Xiaobai's expenses are too large. Although she still have tens of thousands of gold tickets for emergency, it's time to pay dividends and get some silver. He secretly blamed himself for being busy training and alienated Yan'er.

The streets and alleys in the city have been newly decorated, due to the long distance of the village and the lack of materials. Often a village hires a carriage to go to the market and complete the New Year's goods needed by the whole village. Incense candles, paper codes, firecrackers, New Year paintings, red paper, tobacco and tea, candy, etc. are all essential.

Children are noisy to buy new clothes and candy, while women are thinking about buying a few feet of cloth to make clothes. Only men can afford to spend money in inns and a few good drinks. The water rose by three points in the twelfth lunar month, and merchants took advantage of this to make a lot of money, shouting and reducing prices. The eyes are full of lively atmosphere.

The purchase of New Year's goods is usually purchased by Xiafu's housekeepers servants. As soon as he heard that the third lady was going to go to the street to buy New Year's goods, the housekeeper could not be relieved and personally sent someone to drive a carriage to follow him. Unexpectedly, when I walked to the entrance, I was blocked by the crowd of people. Xia Ruoyan smiled, pulled up Xiao Ran and drilled into the crowd: "Brother Xiao, run quickly and get rid of the follower behind."

The anxious housekeeper kept shouting at the back, "Miss, wait for me," the housekeeper was old and fat. The young man with small arms and calves who can run more than these two young people who can do light skills can't do light work. After running for a long time, they bent down and gasped. Looking up, they couldn't tell that it was the young lady's back.

The two ran half of the street before stopping. Although the Tang Dynasty was open, the men and women still attracted many people's guidance on the street hand in hand. Xiao Ran didn't care, but made Xia Ruoyan's cheeks slightly red. Xia Ruoyan glanced at Xiao Ran and saw a smile on the corners of her mouth, but she hummed but did not let go.

Xiao Ran said, "Aren't you afraid that people will recognize you?"

Instead, Xia Ruoyan held it tighter, felt the temperature from the palm of her hand, straightened her chest and said, "Brother Xiao is not afraid. What am I afraid of?"

Xiao Ran smiled helplessly and said, "Well, go your own way, and there is no need to care what unconnected people say."

Because Xia Ruoyan suddenly mentioned it, and both of them have no experience in New Year's goods on duty. They will not make careful bills like ordinary people. They often pay to buy them when they think they can use it and send them directly to Xiafu. Talented and beautiful women are also rich and enviable. Along the way, Xiao Ran found that at least ten waves of people had followed maliciously, but as soon as he heard that the goods were sent to Xiafu, he knew that their identities were expensive and gave up the idea of doing it.

Xiao Ran all laughed it off. In Luoyang City, the people who moved Xiafu were simply hanging from the old birthday star: looking for death! The well-informed snake head also informed his "golden fingers" to brighten their eyes so as not to provoke big shots. Xia Ruoyan did not let go of sugar-coated haws, rattles, Facebook and other things, and Xiao Ran was satisfied one by one. It seems that the smile on Xia Ruoyan's face is satisfied.

"Fried chestnuts with sugar, fragrant and sweet fried chestnuts with sugar."

Xia Ruoyan seemed to have found something strange. She tried to wake up her nose. The sweet smell came to her nose and pulled Xiao Ran along the hawker's hawking. There were three large iron pots, and two big men with red arms stirred brown chestnuts and countless black stones with iron shovels. The chestnuts were oily and shiny, and some had exposed chestnut meat. The other carefully poured the syrup and kept stir-frying, overflowing with aroma. Many children were welcomed here, holding a few copper plates in their hands, and the big man would put some in paper bags.

Sister, eat chestnuts. I think the beautiful sister has been here for a long time. She must have no money with her. Dad said that she should learn to help people and be a chivalrous and righteous hero in the future. A five- or six-year-old boy held a belt of chestnuts and handed them over with both hands. The little boy looks like a porcelain doll, but eating chestnuts at the corners of his mouth is a little blackened by the pasted shell, and he looks innocent.
