Shi Yong was known for his bravery at this time, and he was also born with amazing physical strength.
Shi Yong made a breakthrough.
It attracted the attention of the entire martial arts gym, and the news even spread to other martial arts gyms.
Compared with Cao Su's silent breakthrough, it is very different.
Shi Yong was very grateful to Cao Su.
He was a bit stubborn and thought that Cao Su's generous teachings helped him complete the final step.
"I owe Senior Brother Cao a favor. If I can use it in the future, it doesn't matter." Shi Yong made his promise to Cao Su very solemnly.
Cao Su nodded and let him go.
After Shi Yong was welcomed away by the inner courtyard, the lively atmosphere in the outer courtyard gradually dissipated.
Xu Ping and others came over and left the martial arts hall with Cao Su.
"Senior Brother Cao, if you have nothing to do today, why not go to Tonglefang together."
Xu Ping sent an invitation to Cao Su.
Cao Su had long heard of the name Tonglefang.
In Pingcheng, Tonglefang is one of the few entertainment venues.
The main business scope includes gambling, catering, folk performances, etc.
"Tonglefang is in the inner city. Do you have an inner city order?"
The administrative jurisdiction of Pingcheng is divided into inner and outer cities.
Among them, most ordinary residents live in the outer city, while dignitaries, nobles, and wealthy gentry live in the inner city.
The inner city is also protected by city walls and government troops.
Surrounded by a long river, it is heavily guarded and no one without an inner city order is allowed to enter.
"Here!"
Xu Ping took out a dark token from his arms.
He actually actually has an inner city order.
The inner and outer cities are not two completely separate worlds.
People from the inner city will go out, and people from the outer city also want to visit the inner city.
The reason why the inner city order was set up was just to prevent some young people from sneaking into the inner city.
And as long as you have the inner city order, it is equivalent to getting a ticket to enter the city.
The few remaining people can enter the city after reporting to the city gate guards.
Cao Su nodded.
"In that case, let's go and have a look."
After coming here for so long, he has indeed not entered the inner city to see it, and he is also somewhat curious in his heart.
Several people gathered around Cao Su and walked towards the inner city.
After passing the central square, you can see the inner city wall.
The government troops under the city wall looked at the people coming in and out indifferently.
Xu Ping handed over the city lord's order, and then Cao Su and others reported together under the city.
The pen clerk in the city recorded the names and identities of several people one by one.
They are all martial arts disciples, and there are too many people traveling between the inner and outer cities on weekdays.
Didn't attract too much scrutiny at all.
Go through the not-so-long city gate passage.
Cao Su entered the inner city for the first time.
It is also a street paved with bluestone slabs.
It is smoother and cleaner. At a glance, there are no poor people in ragged clothes on the street.
There are also more comfortable smiles on the faces of people coming and going, and the living conditions are obviously much better than those in outer cities.
It can be said to be a crowded place, with eaves and pavilions of different heights, and endless streets and streets.
It's like two different worlds from the outer city.
Tonglefang is located on the bank of the river in the city, in the most lively and prosperous area.
The tall buildings walk among the willow trees in the cold smoke.
There were two strong men watching the scene at the gate.
Xu Ping was very generous and paid the "appearance fee" for several people.
The man at the door shouted loudly.
The voice is particularly loud and full of energy.
"Welcome!"
Good guy, it turns out to be a welcoming pine.
After several people entered Tonglefang, they were greeted by a boy.
Xu Ping looked like he was familiar with the road and led everyone directly to the second floor.
There are guest seats on the second floor where you can watch the folk art performances below.
"Have a bottle of pineapple wine."
After the boy left, Xu Ping said with a smile: "The most interesting part of Tonglefang is definitely not the front yard, but the brothers are probably hungry, so let's have a meal first to fill our stomachs."
"Senior Brother Xu's arrangements are really good."
"Senior Brother Xu spent a lot of money!"
Several juniors who came from poor families were seeing the world for the first time, so they first presented the glorious traditions of the martial arts school.
Xu Ping waved his hand.
"You have misunderstood, I am not the host today."
When Cao Su heard this, he immediately wanted to get up and leave.
What do you mean it's not that you're a host? Is it aa?
Xu Ping smiled and said: "There is another friend who hasn't arrived yet, and he is the protagonist."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in brocade clothes walked up to the corner of the attic.
With a fair face and a fan in his hand, he walked toward the crowd.
"Juniors from the martial arts school, please be polite."
Before Xu Ping could introduce him, this person took the initiative to expose his background.
Cao Su reacted immediately.
It turned out to be a previous graduate.
Xu Ping laughed twice and stood up to introduce everyone.
"Everyone, let me introduce you."
"This is our senior brother Dong Xuan. He started the business much earlier than all of us. Now he is also very famous in the inner city."
Dong Xuan smiled and said: "I asked you to call me Junior Brother."
Xu Ping sang a double act with him: "Senior Brother Dong joined the martial arts school the year before last and called us Junior Brother. That is more than enough."
Dong Xuan was very modest: "My martial arts qualifications are too poor and I was unable to break through the Qi and Blood within a year. Compared with you, I am only a few years older."
Xu Ping said: "Senior Brother Dong, don't say that. Your Dong family's business is booming in the inner city now, but it's not just because of your efforts. If you really waste your time on martial arts training, your business will not be able to do well!"
"
You can't have your cake and eat it too?
Cao Su heard this.
Happy.
I didn’t expect Xu Ping to understand this.
Dong Xuan closed the painting fan with a snap and said: "Stop talking about these things, introduce me to the junior brothers here so that I can get to know them."
"good!"
Xu Ping did not hesitate and immediately introduced them one by one.
In addition to Cao Su, there are three outer disciples, all of whom were common people who walked through Yujiazhuang with Cao Su before.
To survive in that kind of situation, you have to have some vision and talent.
Xu Ping introduced Cao Su as the last one.
"Senior Brother Dong, let me introduce you in detail."
"This is Senior Brother Cao Su from the inner sect. Senior Brother Cao has just been training in the martial arts hall for more than a month. Now he has become a disciple of Master Tang Yangfeng. His iron fist is invincible and his martial arts qualifications are top-notch."
He lowered his voice and said to Dong Xuan: "A few days ago, Pegasus Village and Yujiazhuang were at war. Senior Brother Cao showed his might, punching and slashing, and led the brothers to break out of Pegasus Village's encirclement...
..”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xu Ping spitted so much that Cao Su even dared not recognize himself.
If he hadn't known the details, he would have thought that Xu Ping was talking about the Pegasus Army.
Isn't the encirclement of Pegasus Village the same as the encirclement of Pegasus Army?
The result was not like this at all. Several people fled all the way, and finally frightened off a cavalry spy, and fled back to the martial arts hall in embarrassment, where they broke out of the siege.
After Dong Xuan heard this, his eyes lit up.
"oops!"
"I said Xu Ping had to drag me out today. It turned out that he was introducing such a good guy to me. It's really disrespectful!"
Dong Xuan probably really liked to make friends with heroic knights.
After hearing Xu Ping's story, I stood up and had a strong reaction.
"Waiter, where's the wine!"
He urged loudly.
Then he stared at Cao Su with burning eyes.
Cao Su shook his head and laughed dumbly: "Brother Xu is joking. It's not that exaggerated. It's just a coincidence and good luck. If we do it again, maybe we will have to explain it there."
"Absolutely not!"
Xu Ping laughed and said, "All the brothers and sisters are here today, so I can let you all talk."
The three junior brothers, who were a little embarrassed at first, suddenly understood.
After working on it for a long time, it turned out that they were called to create an atmosphere and provide on-site proof.
They also nodded in agreement: "Thanks to Senior Brother Cao indeed."
"Senior Brother Cao is brave and courageous, and is born to be a strong man on the battlefield."
"Compared with Senior Brother Cao, who is as bright as the moon, we are like shining fire."
After this period of traditional martial arts events, the wine came.
Dong Xuan immediately poured wine for Cao Su.
"Come on, Senior Brother Cao, I'll toast you."
Why are you calling me Senior Brother Cao?
Cao Su was speechless. After taking the wine glass, he did not want to ignore everyone and shouted: "Come together, come together."
Xu Ping said: "Yes, yes, let's toast to Senior Brother Cao together to thank him for saving his life."
Cao Su:..........
"Dang~"
At this time, the curtain opened on the stage downstairs, and an opera girl from Tonglefang came out.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, this opera girl wore a thin floral dress, showing off her graceful figure and her voice as crisp as a lark, singing and walking.
The slender jade hands are like lotus flowers turning over, and the brows and eyes are looking forward, glowing with all kinds of deep feelings.
Her already good looks and figure added an extra layer of charm on this cold moon stage.
The diners immediately cheered loudly.
After three drinks, the atmosphere became more lively and noisy.
"Senior Brother Cao, since you have become an inner disciple of the martial arts school, have you ever gone to other forces to show your name? I wonder if Senior Brother Cao is interested in the position of worshiping the Dong family?"
Dong Xuan has already introduced the situation of his family.
The Dong family is considered a medium-sized family in the inner city of Pingcheng. The family has quite a lot of properties, and there are many places where warriors are used to protect them.
Ordinary warriors are easy to recruit, but Qi-blood warriors are difficult to recruit.
There are only four Qi-blood warriors in such a large Dong family, two of whom are still in their fifties, and their combat power cannot be equal to that of ordinary Qi-blood warriors.
For Qi-blood warriors, the Dong family now pays heavy tributes.
In addition to eight taels of monthly money, an additional low-grade Qi and Blood Pill is provided for the Qi and Blood warriors to practice.
"You don't have to do anything, as long as you show up every now and then to prove that you're still here."
"Qi-blood warriors are a deterrent. Especially in the outer city areas, places where there are Qi-blood warriors to guard them will be much safer." Dong Xuan very sincerely invited Cao Su to work part-time.
Cao Su originally made up his mind not to accept orders in the near future because of the incident in Yujiazhuang.
This time I hesitated again.
He cursed himself for being blind to money.
Just when he was about to open his mouth to refuse, Dong Xuan gritted his teeth and said: "If Senior Brother Cao is willing to join, our Dong family can also provide an additional ten kilograms of fire dolphin meat every month!"
Cao Su made a "pop" sound and slapped the table.
"Senior Brother Dong, let me tell you the truth."
"I'm a person who usually doesn't live on my monthly salary."
Dong Xuan understood instantly.
Sure enough, geniuses are all different.
He persuaded with sincerity: "I know that you talented warriors value the opportunity of cultivation, and money is just something external to you."
"But as a gift to our Dong family, you should take these."
"You can't take a penny less from the eight taels of monthly payment!"
