I Have a Martial Arts Panel

afternoon.

Xu Ning returned to Taojiazhuang with the cut leopard fur.

When I walked outside Taojiazhuang, I didn't get close.

Xu Ning suddenly saw a team of people galloping out of the Taojia Village.

They wear black armor and black clothes, and wear short swords and long swords on their waists.

From a distance, their movements are neat and uniform, their horses are under their bodies, and their speed of travel is also exactly the same.

At first glance, it gives a strong sense of oppression.

"This is... a black armored guard?"

Xu Ning looked puzzled.

The last time he followed Tao Yun into the city to escort the car, he had seen a team of black armored guards.

Goodbye now, Xu Ning confirmed the identity of the other party at a glance.

"What did Heijiawei come to Taojiazhuang for?"

The predecessor lived in Taojiazhuang for several years and had never seen a black armored guard come to the door.

"Did something big happen recently?"

Xu Ning guessed in his heart, but did not come to any conclusion.

Soon, he arrived at the gate of the fence at the entrance of Taojiazhuang.

Shonai's guards patrol and stand guard here.

"Xu Ning is back, what's the gain this time?"

As soon as Xu Ning came over, a big man with a beard guard greeted him with a smile.

Xu Ning was about to leave the village and enter the mountain almost every other day. He had already recognized the guards at the gate, and the story of assisting Tao Yungang in defeating Zhan Sandao had spread, and more and more people in the village had heard of and knew him. many.

"Have a leopard skin."

Xu Ning also responded with a smile: "It's just a pity that I shot a few holes in this leopard skin with an arrow, and the quality is quite different."

"That's not bad, much better than those of us on guard."

The guard laughed loudly, with envy for Xu Ning in his tone.

Most of the guards patrolling and standing guard in Taojiazhuang are ordinary people, and only a few people have cultivated external and internal skills.

Their daily work is just to play a vigilant role, so their income is less.

"By the way, eldest brother, I saw a group of people come out of the village just now. It looks like a black armored guard?"

Xu Ning asked.

"Yes, it's the Black Armored Guard."

The guard said: "We were all taken aback when they came. We have never seen a black armored guard come to the door before. They said they wanted to see the patriarch, but we didn't dare to neglect.

"What are the Hei Jiawei and the others doing in the village?"

Xu Ning asked.

"I don't know about this..."

The guard shook his head, obviously not knowing.

"Well……"

Xu Ning heard the words and stopped asking.

After a few more gossips, Xu Ning went directly to the hunting shop in the village and sold the leopard skin.

...

Clan House.

At this time, nearly ten people were sitting in the hall.

They all look quite young, the youngest also has half a head of silver hair on his head.

Everyone seems to have their own aura, and they are obviously martial arts masters.

These people are the top decision-making members of Taojiazhuang, and they are Taoist clan elders.

"Are they all here?"

Sitting in the upper seat is a spirited old man.

Although it was early winter, he was still wearing a thin shirt, and the forearm exposed by the cuffs still had obvious muscular outlines.

He is the contemporary patriarch of Taojiazhuang, Tao Jingxing.

"It's all here."

The elders of the clan who were sitting below sat upright, their eyes all turned to Tao Jingxing.

"I called everyone here to tell you something."

Tao Jingxing's voice was not loud, but he had an overwhelming aura: "Just now, in Kangyun County, the captain of the black armored guard, Xia Yuanxing, came to the village and met me."

"Black Armored Guard Xia Yuanxing?"

When the clan elders below heard the words, some were surprised and some were calm.

Obviously some people already know that the Black Armor has been here, while some people have not heard of it.

"Patriarch, what is Xia Yuanxing doing here?"

It was Tao Jing Road who opened the door.

He had previously given Xu Ning and others the method of inner strength, the Spring Breeze Art.

When Tao Jinglu said this, everyone listened intently.

Although some clan elders knew that Hei Jiawei had been here, Xia Yuanxing only saw Tao Jingxing alone, and the specific content of the exchange between the two had not yet been revealed.

Tao Jingxing didn't answer immediately, he rubbed his fingers and paused before saying, "Xia Yuanxing said, Heijiawei wants to select new recruits in my Taojiazhuang."

Select newcomers in Taojiazhuang?

"This……"

When all the clan elders heard it, they were all stunned.

They looked at each other and looked at Tao Jingxing again.

"Patriarch, isn't Heijiawei never recruiting people in our local area, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

The speaker was a bald old man with a white beard on his chin.

When everyone heard it, they followed the words of the bald old man.

After the fall of the previous dynasty, each state fought its own battle, and there were disputes between states, sects and families.

Finally, thirty years ago, the Yuansheng Sect rose rapidly, overwhelmed the sectarian family in Feiyun Prefecture, and became the real helm of Feiyun Prefecture.

Afterwards, Yuanshengzong established the Black Armored Guards in Yunying City, the capital of the prefecture, and dispatched them to be stationed in various places in Feiyun Prefecture. He controlled the jurisdiction of various places through the military and became the de facto ruler.

During the 30-year period, the black armored guards in Kangyun County also rotated, but the rotation members were all sent from abroad, and no one from the local area entered.

Everyone knows the reason for this.

After ending the chaos in Feiyun Prefecture and realizing the unification, in order to maintain the independence of the Heijiawei after being stationed in various places, and not be infiltrated and attracted by the local tyrants, they will always draw a clear line with the local tyrants.

Taojiazhuang, as an old-fashioned force in Kangyun County, has always been guarded by the black armor before.

However, there is also a tacit understanding between the two. Heijiawei never oppresses Taojiazhuang, but if there is an order, Taojiazhuang also tries his best to obey.

Not only Taojiazhuang, but also Songjiazhuang and Tanjiazhuang, two other big villages in Kangyun County.

However, the balance between the two in the past thirty years was broken by Tao Jingxing's remarks just now.

If someone in Taojiazhuang enters the Heijiawei, then the boundary between the two will be diluted, and the Heijiawei will be officially integrated with the local forces.

"When Xia Yuanxing informed me about this, I also felt it suddenly."

Facing the questioning of other clan elders, Tao Jingxing explained: "Xia Yuanxing did not directly say the reason. He just said that the situation was unstable before, and it was inconvenient to recruit black armored guards locally. Now the time is ripe, it is time to dig out our local talent."

"Patriarch, what are the selection conditions for the Black Armored Guards this time? How many people will be selected?"

At this time, an old woman with gray hair asked.

Her face was wrinkled and she looked very old, but there was still a shrewd gleam in her slightly squinted eyes.

This old woman's name is Tao Jingfang. She is the eldest among the Taojiazhuang elders and the only female elder.

She never married, and it can be said that she devoted her whole life to Taojiazhuang.

"Miss Jingfang."

Even the patriarch Tao Jingxing was more polite to Tao Jingfang: "Xia Yuanxing said that they will select 20 people in Taojiazhuang. The selection conditions are very broad, that is, in our Taojiazhuang, those who are over fourteen years old and ten The best young people under the age of eight will be drawn into the black armor."

"The best young man between the ages of fourteen and eighteen?"

Tao Jingfang's expression changed a bit: "This is to poach all the young backbones of our Taojiazhuang."

"How can this work?"

Tao Jinglu hurriedly said, "Send our talents to Heijiawei. What about Taojiazhuang? The future of our Taojiazhuang depends on these young people."

Tao Jinglu's remarks aroused support from all the clan elders present.

Facing the excited clan elders, Tao Jingxing frowned and his voice became cold: "Quiet!"

After a while, the noisy clan elders instantly quieted down.

Tao Jingxing's majesty and power as the patriarch were fully demonstrated at this moment.

Seeing that everyone's mood had calmed down a little, Tao Jingxing's tone became calm again: "Everyone, I understand your mood. After Xia Yuanxing said this at first, I was also angry."

"But he made a promise to me later." Tao Jingxing continued, "Xia Yuanxing said that after my son-in-law from Tao Clan entered Heijiaowei, he could enjoy the right to stay in Kangyun County forever; After the age of ten, you can decide for yourself whether to stay in Heijiaowei or return to Taojiazhuang."

"That's fine!"

Hearing Tao Jingxing's follow-up explanation, the eyes of all the clan elders lit up.

Although the young people in Zhuangli joined Heijiawei, they would not leave the local area because of the transfer, so they would stay in Kangyun County forever.

Moreover, after the age of 40, the selected candidates can decide whether to stay or stay. At that time, someone can leave the Heijiawei and return to Taojiazhuang, who can still become the backbone of the village and lead Taojiazhuang to develop and move forward.

From this point of view, the selection of Heijiawei in Taojiazhuang seems to be acceptable.
