The morning sun shone on the earthen walls of Gubei Village. At the opening gate, four servants dressed in black and six-petal helmets stood on both sides with spears, asking the caravans who were about to leave Gubei Village were amazed.

When Mr. Guan was there, the Gubei Village had only the gate to the south, and the other three city gates were blocked by abandoned bricks and stones. Only the gate facing the wall of the Ming Dynasty could enter and exit, and soldiers were usually guarding the gate.

But those soldiers were much worse than those black-clothed soldiers now. The four spear-holders looked rosy and had a strong figure. The spear was held in their hands as long as the length of the spear. The spear head was sharp and shone in the sun.

Those merchants who traveled around the world had never been to this big city in the north, and had never seen such energetic soldiers guarding the city. They felt that only those servants who were raising their doors could compare with the black-clothed soldiers in front of them.

Last night, the Sihai Freight Store held a big banquet. Among the merchants who were still lingering in Gubei Village, half of them were invited by Gao Jin. However, Gao Jin invited them all to Qin merchants and Jin merchants close to Shenmu East Road, and as for merchants from further places, they did not ask Hou Sanjin to invite them.

After the gate was completely opened, the man in the warehouse set up a long table to register the caravans leaving the city gate. After seeing that there were four black-clothed soldiers standing at the city gate, there were even a few black-clothed soldiers holding bows on the city gate, they all lined up honestly.

In the long queue, a carriage suddenly lifted the curtain. The middle-aged man who looked a little bookish and got out of the caravan. He called the caravan manager to look at the team, and he walked forward alone to observe the situation at the city gate.

In addition to those black-clothed soldiers with a completely different spirit than the previous city guards, those who could make a group of merchants line up with no objection were also the heads hanging on the six wooden stakes at the city gate.

Fan Xiu'an put his hands in his sleeves, looked at the six blood-stained heads carefully. After looking at them for a while, he chuckled a little at the corner of his mouth and said to himself, "It's interesting, this Sihai Warehouse has changed its new owner, but he didn't expect it to be a ruthless person."

"Isn't that true? Old man, I looked at these heads and felt a chill in my neck."

The old voice sounded, and Fan Xiu'an looked back and saw a thin old man from northern Shaanxi, with a pleat on his face, looking very cunning, but his eyes were very vivid.

"Boy Fan Xiu'an, what do you call the old man?"

As the youngest shopkeeper of the Suide Merchant Gang, Fan Xiu'an never judges people by his appearance when dealing with people. The old man in northern Shaanxi in front of him looked pretty, but being able to tease those people who were hung so easily shows that he is definitely not a good-looking lamp.

"Old man Diao Mazi, Fan Dong's family called me Lao Diao."

Diao Mazi narrowed his eyes and said, "The back of his eyes was full of official words, wearing a royal blue robe. The material looked like it was the best among the Lu silk produced in Lu'an Prefecture, not like the head of an ordinary caravan."

"Lao Diao, you always seem to know what's going on?"

Fan Xiu'an smiled and called Diao Mazi directly to Lao Diao. His eyes were very poisonous and knew what someone said when he met. Diao Mazi was a vulgar old man. If he was too polite to him, he would be looked down upon.

"When these six unlucky guys were cut off their heads, the old man happened to be fortunate to be there!"

Speaking of the fact that he was invited to the banquet by Sihai Warehouse last night, Diao Mazi's hunched back was a little straightened. "These stupid people thought Mr. Guan had left yesterday, so they made trouble in the city, but they asked Mr. Gao, the new owner of Sihai Warehouse, to catch him and apologize to our merchants."

"So that's it. I didn't expect that this high-ranking master is a hero. His methods are very powerful."

Listening to Diao Mazi talking about the big banquet at Sihai Warehouse with a romance, Fan Xiu'an said with a smile on his face, and nodded from time to time. The show of the banquet at Sihai Warehouse was really nothing in his eyes, but the high-ranking master was quite surprised at the eleventh killing of the scoundrels he caught in front of a group of merchants.

"That's natural. This high man has a huge amount of 1,000 cups. The old man has been doing business in Gubei Village for many years, but it is the first time he has seen such a hero."

Diao Mazi is an old alcoholic. He was impressed by Gao Jin's generousness when he toasted yesterday. He felt that this Gubei Village might be more prosperous than that in the hands of Guan Ye.

"Been taught a lesson."

Fan Xiu'an bowed. He came to Gubei Village for Master Guan, but he didn't even see Master Guan, so he got the news that Master Guan returned to Camel City.

The Suide Merchant Gang is a big chamber of commerce in Yulin Town, but it is still not a big force in the General Officer's Office. The former general Bingzhong was a noble man. They threw stones and asked for directions several times without responding. This time, Guan Bingzhong left office, and Du Wenhuan entered the Camel City. The Suide Merchant Gang watched for a while. It was not until Du Wenhuan suddenly mobilized troops to fight outside the border without any warning that he had a new idea, so Fan Xiu'an ran this time.

The general's military mobilization was unusual everywhere. The Suide Shang Gang had a deep relationship with several other garrisons in Shenmu East Road, so he naturally found some inside information, such as the general's military mobilization of more than 10,000 troops on the surface, but in fact, the army was only less than 4,000.

Of course, the most important thing is that the army won the Huoluo Chi tribes within a few days after leaving the frontier, and killed and cut off more than 300 heads. This battle is comparable to the results of the former general Bingzhong's two wars last year.

Fan Xiu'an knew in his heart that the 300-level victory of this time was strange everywhere, so he rushed to Gubei Village in a hurry, wanting to start from Guan Ye and establish a relationship with the General's Mansion, but human calculations are not as good as God's Conclusion. As soon as he arrived in Gubei Village, Guan Ye did not see outsiders. Yesterday, he even saw the high master and left in a hurry.

While walking, Fan Xiu'an returned to his convoy suddenly. At this time, the queues in front had already left the city one after another. Seeing him coming back, the original manager of the caravan quickly stepped forward and said, "Big shopkeeper, why don't I go ahead..."

The manager thought Fan Xiu'an was impatient, so he planned to go ahead to clear the relationship so that his caravan could leave the city quickly. Although Gubei Village was not far from the wall, if he left the city late, he might not be able to arrive inside the wall before sunset.

"No need, you'll queue up here, leaving a few capable people for me, and I'll stay here for a few more days."

Fan Xiu'an did not return to the carriage, but instead ordered the manager, saying that the manager suddenly felt bitter, "Big shopkeeper, you are a noble man, how can you..."

"What kind of noble man? I went to the frontier to do business at the age of seventeen. I have suffered no less than you. Do you really think I became a waste after staying in the wall for two years?"

Fan Xiu'an waved his hand and interrupted the in charge. There were seven shopkeepers in the Suide Merchant Gang. He was the youngest. He had to deal with the Tartars outside the Great Wall a few years ago. Sometimes he had to go into battle with the horse thieves and fellow soldiers and fight with them to see blood.

Seeing Fan Xiu'an getting angry, the manager didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only keep the four best and smartest people in the caravan, leaving ten good horses for their use.

"Let's go and throw the bank."

Fan Xiu'an looked at the four capable guys, nodded, then led a horse casually and headed towards the Sihai Cargo Store.

He was very interested in the high-ranking master. Diao Mazi once said that the high-ranking master was only in his early twenties, but he took over the Sihai Warehouse or the Gubei Village from Mr. Guan.

How could Fan Xiu'an miss such a person? Of course, he had to get to know him, let alone test whether this high man had anything to do with the General's Mansion.

Fan Xiu'an knew in his heart that if he had nothing to do with the General's Mansion, then Guan would definitely not be able to hand over the Sihai Warehouse to him, but if it was related, Guan shouldn't have left so anxiously and left a mess for the Grand Master to clean up.

This contradictory conclusion is all about Fan Xiu'an becoming more and more interested in Gao Jin. In the Suide business gang, he is the youngest and has the least power in business. Naturally, he hopes to meet some heroes as aid. This will be a good thing for his position in the business gang in the future.

Just as the long queues of people at the city gate were coming out, Fan Xiu'an and his party were walking along the crowd like small boats moving upstream, which seemed particularly eye-catching.

...

In front of the Sihai Warehouse, there were already guards in black. As for the guys, they were divided into several shifts. Except for the ones on duty, the others all went to the martial arts training ground in the backyard, and everyone changed into a skilled short-dressing dress.

When Mr. Guan was there, there were horse teams and thugs in the warehouse. The number of 50 and 60 mainly did some miscellaneous work to maintain the operation of the warehouse and warehouse industries.

Xiao Yi and his companions were excitedly looking at Gao Jin standing on the high platform beside the martial arts training ground. One thing that these young guys often thought about in the warehouse was that one day they would be looked at by Guan Ye and join the horse team as servants, instead of doing some wiping, washing and washing every day to welcome the work front and back.

Now the high-ranking master said that they all wanted to practice martial arts, and in the future they would choose excellent people to be servants, but they all tried their best and planned to practice with those servants in black.

"Old, let's start!"

Gao Jin nodded to Dong Bufang. Last night, Dong Bufang led two teams of servants to arrive. One of them was sent to the city gate, and the other was staying in the warehouse, intending to serve as instructors to teach the guys in the warehouse to practice martial arts.

"Horizontal lineup, array."

Dong Bufang shouted loudly to Li Ergou's two teams of servants, saying that he and the horse army were very cruel in these days, and the changes in the shape of the infantry and army during Grandpa Qi's training in Ji Liao were all practiced.

The changes in the mandarin duck formation of the Qi family army were complicated, but the north was different from the south. Therefore, after Grandpa Qi arrived in Ji Liao, the changes in the mandarin duck formation practiced by the infantry were not as changeable as in the south, but became much simpler. Especially when Gao Jin's servant teams were placed in the army, they were killers, with large guns as their main weapon, and the main changes in the military formation were horizontal teams and cooperation between each other.

The two teams of servants lined up in a row quickly turned into horizontal lines as Dong Bufang ordered. The pace of their progress was the same. When the distance between people was widened, it seemed as if they had been measured with a ruler. They stood behind and stood sideways and spears were crossed in front of their chests, and even the height of the spear head was not much different.

The changes in the queue made the guys stunned, and Zhang Chonggu and others on the other side were also secretly shocked, especially Zhang Chonggu, who was born in Shandong long pole hand and had a military service for generations. He also studied military books seriously in martial arts.

Judging from the martial arts skills of using guns, these servants have just entered the door and have only mastered them, but the neatness between their teams is the most terrifying place. Zhang Chonggu is self-conceived with his high martial arts skills. One-on-one servants are not his enemies, but if they are two, he will have to waste his hands and feet. When the three of them can get a draw, it is better to have more than three of them, and he will have to flee in panic.

"kill!"

The servants shouted and exhaled at the same time, and the spear in their hands was pulled out and retracted. They were extremely skillful. After three rounds of stabbing, they began to advance. As they marched, they stabbed and retracted the spears, and with the shouts of captains like Li Ergou, changes could occur.

This simple horizontal lineup was so stunning that Zhang Chonggu was fascinated by the sight. He had read military books in the past and had read a sentence from former Grandpa Song Yue, "Fighting after formation, the common military strategy and the wonderful use of it lies in one mind!" At that time, he felt that this was the ultimate principle of military strategy, but he had never understood the meaning of this sentence.

Now that I have watched these servants perform martial arts, they are obviously the simplest horizontal team, but they are changing a lot. Zhang Chonggu seemed to understand. He felt that although the more than 20 thugs around him were good players in the army, the rest were all brave men, but if they were fighting in the infantry, they could defeat them if they were only given a team of servants on the other side.

The guys were even more dazzling. The movements of the servants were actually very simple, but they were vigorous and simple, and the kind of uniformity but had a shocking power. Everyone began to yearn for one day to be like these servants in black.

After the first round of exercise, the two teams of servants stood with their spears, with no expression on their faces. They were used to being scolded by Dong Bufang and Ma Jun. They were all stunned when they were about to fight, so they could be considered as fierce soldiers.

Zhang Chonggu looked back at a group of companions who he felt was not recognized by talent. He suddenly understood why the high-ranking master valued him, but he did not like them. The courage of every man was just a brave man in private fighting, and blood was splattered on the street for five steps. Those servants were brave in military formations, and they did not fear public wars, and they dared to attack the crowd with few.

"Grandmaster, I am willing to learn from my brothers again."

Zhang Chonggu stood up. He was a child of the martial arts family and had read military books in martial arts. Unfortunately, after killing people and losing their lives, he completely forgot about his origin. In addition to his martial arts, he was more like a hero in the grass.

But today when he saw the Jiading team performing martial arts, he suddenly realized that he wanted to revive the Zhang family, not his personal courage, but his ability to learn from the enemy of thousands of people.

"Brother Zhang, you have figured it out. My team Ding rules are very strict. You just practice with them. You need to follow them and you don't have to be relaxed at all."

Gao Jin was happy to see Zhang Chonggu's initiative to practice with his servants. After all, Zhang Chonggu is a serious martial arts child, with a family background and a strong martial arts skill. As long as he trains himself well, he will be a talent who can stand on his own immediately.

But to be honest, Gao Jin didn't care much about the people under Zhang Chonggu. What he lacked the most outside the pass were these brave and fierce outlaws. However, these people had never done any evil, so he could not let them leave and lost control. He originally planned to continue to let these people be used as thugs of the Four Seas Goods Store and inspect the streets of Gubeizhai.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gao, I will never violate the rules, which will make it difficult for you to do."

Zhang Chonggu said loudly that he was in a hot mood at the moment, thinking about how to train his companions into elite soldiers like those servants, so that he could have some weight under Gao Jin and be reused in the future.

"Okay, then I'll follow you, but if anyone of them violated my rules, I won't show mercy."

Looking at Zhang Chonggu with serious faces, Gao Jin agreed. If Zhang Chonggu could really train those thugs to the point of ban like servants, it would be a good thing, but he was not optimistic about Zhang Chonggu.

"Grandmaster, if anyone dares to violate your rules, you don't need to do anything, I will be the first to spare him."

Zhang Chonggu replied with confidence and spirit, then looked at the group of companions behind him coldly and shouted, "Grandmaster, whoever you want to withdraw? It's still time to do this, I will never stop you."
