The girl was dressed in white and was barefooted. Her skin was smooth like cream, her eyes were bright like the stars, and her face was peerless. Not to mention that it was a rare sight, even poems and paintings were not enough to describe her beauty. There was no pen or ink in this world that could describe her charm.
Unfortunately, a delicate and small mask covered half of her face. It was a pity that people could not see her whole face.
A pair of slender feet stepped on the ground covered with sand and stones, but they were not stained at all. She looked so delicate and pure.
Everyone stared blankly, as if they had forgotten to breathe.
Yan Li's heart sank, but his expression did not change. He cupped his hands and said, "I don't know you."
Everyone was awakened by his voice and looked at him from the corner of their eyes. But their eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet and could not move away from the girl, not even for a moment.
Zhang Jingsong's eyes flashed a trace of infatuation, and the coldness disappeared completely. He smiled politely and said, "He is the new guard today. Does Miss Weiwei know him?"
The girl Weiwei laughed and said, "He said he doesn't know me. Do I have to pretend to be related to him?"
"Pretend to be related?" Zhang Jingsong laughed, "He is not worthy. Miss Weiwei must have recognized the wrong person."
"Are you blaming me for deliberately causing trouble?" The girl stared at him with a smile that was not a smile.
Zhang Jingsong choked, but when he looked into her eyes, he felt his whole heart go numb. He was willing to die, so how could he bear to criticize her harshly? "How could I dare to blame Miss Weiwei? Whatever you do is right. Since you said he changed his name, then he must have changed it. Even if he didn't, I will make him change it."
The girl turned her head and winked at Yan Li. She said coquettishly, "I should be the one who recognized the wrong person. That person is not as respectful and courteous as him. He is a stinky pervert who occasionally acts as a robber."
After saying that, she flew up to the roof with a "giggle". Her delicate body flashed again and disappeared.
The peerless figure disappeared from sight. Everyone felt lost.
Only Yan Li cursed, "Stinky woman!" But he did not realize that he called the girl "woman" instead of "girl".
"What did you say?" How could Zhang Jingsong's hearing be compared to Liu Er Mazi's? His face immediately turned cold and he grabbed Yan Li's shirt.
"What a beautiful woman." Yan Li shrugged.
Zhang Jingsong stared at Yan Li. His gaze was like a sharp knife as he said coldly, "Gu Guanlan, right? I'm warning you, if you see Miss Weiwei in the future, stay away from me. If I see you talking to her again, I'll break your legs!" After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Yan Li sneered secretly.
One of Zhang Jingsong's men asked, "Instructor, what about them?"
Zhang Jingsong waved his hand, "Gu Guanlan will be on duty at the Martial Arts Practice Courtyard. As for the rest, you can make your own arrangements."
As soon as he said that, the envious looks in the eyes of the rest of the strong men immediately turned into sympathy.
A man who was shorter than Yan Li by a head but more muscular patted Yan Li's shoulder with pity, "Brother, have a safe journey."
Yan Li was not like them who had gone through the strict training of the Red Mountain Garden. He had some understanding of the Wang Fu, but he did not understand the rules here at all. He could only ask, "What is the Martial Arts Practice Courtyard?"
"Don't whisper to each other, follow me!" An older guard shouted coldly.
The short and muscular man whispered, "My name is Yanggang, I'll tell you about the Martial Arts Practice Courtyard later."
The older guard took them to get the guard uniforms, two sets for each person, and then they picked their weapons. Yan Li chose a normal sheathed long sword and followed them to the dining hall. The standard meal for the guards was a table of eight people, six dishes and one soup. The food was very good.
Finally, they came to a row of small courtyards. Each courtyard was exactly the same size.
Walking in from the entrance, each courtyard had a row of five rooms on the right, with two people sharing one room. On the left were toilets and bathrooms, and there was a well every three courtyards. The first ten courtyards were filled with clothes, and it only stopped at the eleventh courtyard.
"You, and you, come here." The older guard pointed at Yan Li and the short and muscular man Yanggang.
The two walked over, and he pointed at the first room, "You two will stay in this room. Welcome to the Lu Palace."
Then he gave Yan Li a meaningful look, "Gu Guanlan, get ready. Later, someone will bring you to the Martial Arts Practice Courtyard to familiarize you with the roads. Although it is a bit dangerous, the salary is higher than that of a second-class guard."
Yan Li wanted to ask more, but he had already left with the others.
Yanggang gave him a look, then pushed the door open and entered the room.
Yan Li walked in and found that the room was very simple. There were two beds on the left and right, a cabinet under the window in the middle, and a table in the middle of the corridor. There was nothing else. Even if there were other things, they could not fit.
Yanggang closed the door, then walked to the bed on the left and sat down. He laughed, "Brother Gu, it seems that you know very little about the Wang Palace. That uncle of yours is not very reliable, he actually did not tell you anything."
"Isn't that so!" Yan Li felt that Gu Haiyuan's lesson was not deep enough, "Brother Yanggang, do you know what kind of place the Martial Arts Practice Courtyard is?"
Yanggang laughed, "Brother Gu, a straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. In this world, everything depends on the word 'money', or else I would not have sold myself to the Wang Palace, am I right?"
Yan Li gritted his teeth, pretending to be pained, "How much do you want?"
Yanggang stretched out five fingers.
"Five taels?" Yan Li asked.
Yanggang laughed, shaking his head, "Fifty."
Yan Li raised an eyebrow, "You really dare to ask for information that I can understand immediately!"
Yanggang laughed, "No, no, no, Brother Yan, what I am selling you is not only the Martial Arts Practice Courtyard, but also detailed information about the Wang Palace."
Yan Li thought for a moment, "Tell me one first, I will see if it is worth it."
Yanggang said, "Let's talk about us Imperial Guards first, we are also divided into ranks. The lowest rank is the same as us, when we first enter, we are all third-class guards, promoted once every three years. Above third class is second class, and above second class is first class. At first class, if you want to be promoted again, unless you have extraordinary strength and become an instructor, your promotion is the limit. But every three years, your salary will increase. That majestic instructor just now is one of the seven instructors of the Wang Palace, each of them is above the cultivation level, above them is the unfathomable chief instructor called Wang Mingwei, according to speculation, his cultivation level is likely to be a Martial Immortal. "
Martial Immortal is Enlightenment.
Yan Li suddenly felt that this transaction was a loss.
"How about it, Brother Gu, do you think it is worth it?" Yanggang smiled.
Yan Li calmly took out fifty taels, placed it on the table and pushed it over, "Tell me everything you know."
