Chapter 483: Make the best use of everything
Chapter 483 Making the Best Use of Everything
Although their attire was ordinary like that of other people and their looks were unremarkable, this kind of movement had probably been ingrained in their bones and they did it very smoothly and naturally, just like walking or running. It was obvious that these people were by no means ordinary people.
“Uncle Ping, I want to have a fight with them!” Bai Jinzhi spoke with an innocent look.
“We are rough men, how dare we fight with the princess!” one of them said hurriedly, “If we injure the princess’ precious body, we will die!”
Bai Jinzhi smiled and said, “Shen Yancong, you are really good. The person you recruit can even use idioms! Only a few people in ordinary families can read. Since you have read… why don’t you take the imperial examination?”
Seeing that Bai Jinzhi was about to have a heart-to-heart talk with these people, Shen Yancong glanced at Lupin, and when he saw that Lupin didn’t say anything, he stood aside obediently and said with a smile: “What a coincidence! What a coincidence!”
“I read for a few days, but… I’m not cut out for it! I stopped studying!” the man said again.
Bai Jinzhi turned his head to glance at Lupin, and Lupin understood and attacked the man unexpectedly.
The others clenched their fists, their whole bodies tensed, wondering if they had been noticed.
“Hey, hey, hey! Uncle Ping! We agreed that I would test the skills of the new recruits today… why did you do that?” Bai Jinzhi yelled at Lupin, then turned to look at the others, “Who of you… come with me and try! Beat me! You can go to suppress the bandits soon and protect my elder sister!”
After saying that, Bai Jinzhi also took action.
When those people heard this, protecting Bai Qingyan… Isn’t this just sending a pillow when you are asleep? It would be much easier to kill Bai Qingyan, so the one who fought with Lupin and the one who fought with Bai Jinzhi immediately perked up their spirits, and each move was fierce and full of murderous intent.
Lupin was fighting fiercely. Bai Jinzhi fought dozens of moves, but was caught off guard and his throat was locked. Bai Jinzhi’s body froze. The man quickly let go and knelt on the ground to apologize: “I failed! Please forgive me, Princess!”
There were red marks on Bai Jinzhi’s neck, and she couldn’t help but sigh in her heart… What a powerful move!
Looking at Lupin again, the man fighting with Lupin was very skilled, his movements were agile, and every move was intended to kill at the cost of his life, leaving no room for any chance of survival. This seemed like the moves learned by the death warriors raised by the royal aristocracy, whose moves were only used to complete the task, leaving no room or way for the living.
Bai Jinzhi gently touched his neck, glanced at the dozen or so people with nervous expressions, and shouted to Lupin: “Uncle Ping! It’s all right! These guys are pretty good!”
Hearing this, Lupin stopped his move and the man also stopped.
“I didn’t realize that all of you from Southern Xinjiang are so skilled!” Shen Yancong said with a smile, “You’re still hiding your skills. If everyone learns this great trick, maybe it can save your life in the future!”
The man who had just fought with Lupin seemed to be the leader of the group. He clasped his fists and saluted towards Shen Yancong, saying, “After spending so many years in the southern border, you must learn some skills to resist the Western Liang soldiers who come to rob you from time to time!”
Lupin nodded seriously, “That’s true! But with your skills… it’s a pity to be an ordinary soldier. How about this, Master Shen… let them each lead a team for training? The princess doesn’t need more than a dozen people to protect her. Before setting out to suppress the bandits… let the two teams fight each other. Whoever leads the winning team will protect the princess. Of course… protecting the princess and keeping her safe can also earn ten gold coins!”
Shen Yan immediately understood what Lupin meant. He wanted to force these dozen people to teach him everything they knew. He nodded repeatedly, “I think this is a good idea! They should all want to protect the princess. After all… it’s safer to be with the princess, and you can also get gold! You better work harder!”
After saying that, Shen Yancong went to inspect somewhere else with Lupin and Bai Jinzhi.
The dozen people gathered together and watched Bai Jinzhi and Lupin walk away. Someone said, “Boss, should we just charge over and kill that princess? We’ve wasted so much time here. If we don’t go back… I’m afraid…”
“Yes! Moreover, this poison attacks every month, causing people to suffer unbearable pain. It will kill people in half a year. I’m afraid we won’t be able to get back in time by then! We will all die in Jin State!” Someone else whispered in agreement.
“How many of us can survive if we kill them like this? Maybe we will all die here. Although we are warriors of death, who doesn’t want to live? The pain of the poison is nothing compared to death!” The leader wiped the sweat from his head, stared at Bai Qingyan with calm and deep eyes, wrapped the cloth in his hand again, wiped the sweat from his nose, “Since I brought you here, I want to take you all back! Wait a few more days… After we go up the mountain and deal with the Princess, we will return to Xiliang! If we still can’t deal with the Princess, it’s not too late to do it again!”
At the command from the leader, the others finally rejoined the team and trained together.
Shen Yan was very fast. After Bai Qingyan and his group left, he divided the new recruits who were going up the mountain to suppress the bandits into twelve teams. He had his own people train the new recruits together with the group of killers from Xiliang, waiting to select who would protect the Princess before going up the mountain to suppress the bandits.

Bai Jinzhi rode a horse beside Bai Qingyan and slowly told him what happened in the martial arts arena today. She said, “I saw the skills of those people. Every move was a killing move! This is the way of a death warrior! Moreover… although those people tried their best to cover it up, when they saluted… their postures were exactly the same. They must have been trained by someone. They are definitely not ordinary people!”
Now, Bai Jinzhi has become more stable and likes to think more about things. He is no longer as impatient and casual as before. Bai Qingyan is very pleased.
She raised her hand and touched Bai Jinzhi’s head: “Yes, those people are assassins from Xiliang, probably coming for me, but it doesn’t matter, now putting them in the barracks and letting them teach those new recruits is also the best use of them!”
“But this is too dangerous, elder sister!” Bai Jinzhi had a rough fight with those people and knew that each of them had extraordinary skills.
With such skills and ulterior motives towards Bai Qingyan, how could Bai Jinzhi not worry about Bai Qingyan’s safety.
“If they wanted to fight to the death, they would not have entered the military camp and would have directly attacked Bai’s mansion! Don’t worry… the matter is still under control, nothing will happen!” Bai Qingyan saw Bai Jinzhi’s frown, and his heart softened. He comforted her, “Besides, Shen Yancong is in charge of the military camp, so even if they want to assassinate Bai’s mansion, they can’t get out!”
After saying this, the two sisters arrived at the gate of Bai Mansion.
