When Francis and Francis arrived at the training ground owned by their escort team, they had already arrived.
Most of them were wearing a light chainmail coat, glistening in the morning sun.
When everyone saw Francis arriving, they spontaneously gathered in the center of the training ground.
A full guard team consists of one hundred people. Speaking of which, the chief guard in the palace can be regarded as a centurion.
Chai Anping and Ma Liu returned to the team and stood in their own position.
Francis nodded first, confirmed that everyone had arrived, and then said: "The training day has officially begun!"
"Old rules, the person whose name I call comes up for sparring."
There are no hard and fast rules for singles. The 100-man square team spread out in twos and threes to form a large circle around the training ground. Chai Anping also found a shade to sit down.
"Gracie, good morning!"
Giles, who gave Chai Anping a hard kick on the last training day, came over to say hello warmly and then sat next to him.
"Oh, it's Giles, good morning."
Chai Anping's eyes lit up, and he touched Giles twice, then twitched the corner of his mouth and took his hand back.
[Theft Omen] failed to trigger.
White touch.
Giles glanced at him strangely and hesitated to speak.
"I wonder if we will meet again today." Not sure whether he should ask Gracie why he touched her, Giles changed the subject: "If you meet me, you must be gentle this time.
"
"..."
"You won't encounter it." Chai Anping said quietly.
Chai Anping, who had gained one-fifth of Giles' swordsmanship experience, knew very well how strong he was. He couldn't beat him, and he didn't want to touch him. He could only survive in private.
"Giles, you really can't run into Gracie today."
While the two were talking, Flower and his party also came over.
The big bald man walking next to Flower immediately spoke arrogantly, with full sarcasm: "He belongs to us today."
"Oh? How do you know?" the honest Giles asked curiously.
Just as Hicks was about to speak, Flower glared at him. How could he say it openly?
"Haha, it feels like it!" Flower said with a smile to the strongest player in his generation: "Today I really feel like I can train with Gracie."
"Flower!"
Francis suddenly shouted.
"Hey, I didn't expect that we would be the first group, Ge..." Flower glanced at Chai Anping.
"Giles!" cried Francis next.
Flower:???
"Haha." Giles stood up excitedly and patted Flower on the shoulder: "Unfortunately, you feel wrong, Flower! But it's okay, I really want to compete with you!"
"Uh...hehe." Both Flower and Hicks looked stiff.
Flower had already begun to curse in his heart, but he didn't expect that Francis wouldn't give him any face!
Giles entered with Flower in his arms and selected weapons for training.
The remaining group of boys stood there stunned and stared at Chai Anping.
"Tsk, those harsh words sounded like farts." Chai Anping couldn't help but shrugged with laughter.
"What did you say?!"
Hicks rushed up and grabbed him by the collar.
Chai Anping glanced at him, easily swayed back and avoided Hicks' hand.
"Why, you dare to bark and make noise like this when the master is not around?"
Chai Anping would not be polite to Flower's group. In the past, he just couldn't beat him and swallowed his anger. Now he wanted to hold Hicks' bald head over and rub his hair out.
Hicks laughed angrily when he heard this. How dare this loser dare to scold himself?
"Don't think that you can speak freely with the captain of the guard protecting you." Hicks sneered.
"What, why don't you let me talk?" Chai Anping said calmly. Seeing the angry looks of a group of losers, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Bald man, how about this..."
"Look, your boss is gone..."
"Your boss is gone!" the bald man said angrily.
"Ahem - your boss is here, I'll teach you how to please your boss! Do you want to hear it?"
"..."
All the younger brothers looked at each other, speechless.
After a moment, Hicks' expression changed and he said, "Do you think we will be fooled by you?"
"Listen, you won't suffer any loss." Chai Anping curled his lips.
"……you say."
"Go and ask Guard Captain Francis to allow me to compete with you. Your boss will definitely praise you for your ability to do things!"
"..."
Hicks looked up to the sky speechlessly, why did he feel that what he said made sense.
All the boys were immediately eager to give it a try. What this boy said makes sense!
Flower would be extremely happy to teach him a lesson at this juncture!
"For now..." Hicks said stubbornly and wanted to belittle Chai Anping.
"But, Captain Francis will probably not agree." Chai Anping continued: "Unless..."
"What?"
Chai Anping stopped talking, and Hicks subconsciously asked.
"Unless you ask me to take the initiative to apply to the guard chief to compete with you."
"Well, this method will definitely be 100% successful," Chai Anping said seriously.
You want us to beg you?!
The first thing that flashed through Hicks' mind was - "joke"!
But then he realized that what he said really made sense...
Chai Anping took advantage of the entanglement of these losers and glanced at the situation on the field. Flower had been defeated by Giles, and he only had to defend.
cough……
Worried that Francis would call him to the stage in the second round, Chai Anping rolled his eyes and immediately found a step for Hicks to get off:
"I guess it won't be easy for you to beg me! Let me take a step back and you can give me 20 gold coins, and I can barely go to the guard chief to speak for you."
Hey, 20 gold coins is a lot. Their palace guard's monthly salary is only 8 gold coins. This is because of the high prices in the capital, otherwise they wouldn't even have 8 gold coins.
However, if this group of people were really fooled by him, it would be easy for them to collect 20 gold coins.
"You are really willing to take the initiative to apply to compete with us?!" Hicks said in disbelief.
"20 gold coins, no kid can be bullied." Chai Anping looked serious, but in fact he was already happy.
"Humph, I'm sorry you don't dare to take the money and not do anything!" Hicks gathered several brothers and turned around to whisper.
"Brothers, what this waste said makes sense. Let's do this. I'll borrow 10 gold coins from you and I'll pay them back to you later."
"Hey! Don't talk to each other. I'll pay you 10 gold coins!" Another person also followed.
The big bald man became anxious when he heard this. Is he trying to compete with him for the number one dog-leg position?
"Haha, Ramden, how about giving this opportunity to my younger brother, I will help you next time!"
"really?"
"necessary!"
The scene that happened in the corner of the training ground did not attract anyone's attention. Chai Anping happily took the 20 gold coins handed over by Hicks.
It's much more satisfying to trap this big bald man in one deal than to just beat him up!
"Boy, God knows about this matter, you know it and I know it... If you dare to tell Boss Flower, you know what will happen!" A deal is a deal, but Hicks still kept an eye on it.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't tell anyone, no one will know."
"Also... I am the one competing with you, remember?"
"Remember, remember."
After putting away the gold coins, Chai Anping suddenly gained motivation, got up and ran to Francis and started chatting with the captain of the guard.
"Tsk, guard captain, Giles's move is amazing..."
"Flower's hands are shaking, ha!..."
"Eh? What's this move called?"
"..."
Francis looked at his head covered with black lines, and even wanted to curse.
"What were you talking about with Hicks and the others just now?"
"Ah... Ang? Haha, it's nothing. The weather is really nice today..."
