Chapter 212 In Baiyun Town (Part [-])
After a dispute outside the city of Chang'an, a group of court officials headed by Zhong Liangchen retreated in desperation, and this field has really become the site of the East Police Factory. It has a prototype.

And because of time constraints, in order to allow the soldiers of the Bow and Crossbow Camp and the Huo Gun Battalion to train as soon as possible, after the walls around the training ground were probably built, a mighty number of soldiers were transferred to start training.

For these soldiers, they originally only trained bows and firecrackers, but now they have the opportunity to learn martial arts and improve their own strength, and they are all very enthusiastic, and the training ground is full of excitement.

At the same time, the establishment of the arsenal and the alchemy room also took shape. These two places do not need to be specially opened up. They are located in the Dongchang government office. All went well.

About three to five days later, the first batch of elixirs and the corresponding martial arts were prepared and distributed to those drafted Dongchang fanzi one after another, and the strength of the people began to increase steadily.

In addition, under the stimulation of elixir and martial arts, the enthusiasm of the Dongchang Fanzi is also quite high, and in order to obtain better elixir exercises, their enthusiasm and efficiency in doing things have also increased a lot.

The state of the East Police Factory has taken on a new look.

In addition, the actions of Fengyulou on the rivers and lakes have also gradually begun. The spies have already arrived at Baiyun Mountain and are secretly infiltrating into Baiyun Valley.

……

Baiyun Town.

About four or fifty years ago, because of the great reputation of Baiyun Valley, there were countless people from all walks of life in Baiyun Town. Challenge, want to make a name for yourself.

Baiyun Town is extremely bustling and bustling, and there are quite a few people gathered here. There are thousands of families, and they are noisy all day long. However, with the decline of Baiyun Valley in recent years, there are fewer and fewer people here. His livelihood was unsustainable, so he began to leave his hometown one after another.

In today's Baiyun Town, there are less than [-] households left. The common people simply farm and work, hunt in their free time, and maintain their livelihood. The interior is also stable, there are few bandits coming in and out, and people live and work in peace and contentment.

However, today is a bit unusual, the sky is gloomy, there are faint snowflakes in the air, the atmosphere of the whole town is not so lively, the vendors on the street are wrapped in thick old leather jackets, their faces are full of laziness.

"Sister, look, this hairpin is very beautiful."

A clear and melodious laughter came from the street. Following the sound, a young girl wearing a light yellow thick skirt, her hair simply tied up, and a thick fur was standing next to a jewelry booth.

She held a green jade hairpin in her hand, and a golden butterfly was inlaid on the hairpin. As the hairpin swayed, the butterfly's wings swayed slightly, as if it was about to fly, and it looked extremely lifelike.

"Boss, how much is this?"

After the girl's voice fell, a gentle woman who was also dressed in fur came over. The woman had a bun on her head, her makeup was plain, and she was dressed in a demure woman's attire. She glanced at the hairpin and asked softly.

"Little lady is really discerning. This hairpin was made by a skilled craftsman in Chang'an City. It has changed hands several times before..."

The peddler was full of enthusiasm and introduced eloquently, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the gentle woman,
"Just say how much money."

"Four two!"

The peddler laughed along with him.

"Four taels, so expensive?"

The woman frowned, and a slight solemnity surged on her gentle face. She glanced at her younger sister hesitantly, and then glanced around. Not many people paid attention to her, so she moved closer and said in a low voice. ,
"Can it be cheaper, the silver I carry..."

"It can't be cheaper!"

The peddler's eyes flickered, his tone became lighter, and he hummed,

"Don't say that you don't have enough money. You are the majestic young lady of Baiyun Valley. How can you have no money in such a big Baiyun Valley? You are not bullying us small vendors..."

"you……"

The woman's face showed an unconcealable embarrassment, and the slender palms hidden in the cuffs were slightly clenched. She was not bullying at all, but really reluctant to part with the four taels of silver.

Baiyun Valley has been in decline for many years, and now the huge villa is too difficult to sustain. Last year, only a dozen or so servants were dismissed. Even her majestic young lady...hasn't bought rouge for a long time. Gouache.

But the one at home...

"Sister, forget it..."

The face turned blue and red for a moment, the woman frowned, and said to the girl with some guilt,

"When there is a chance, my sister will go to Chang'an City to buy you better ones."

"It is said that the young lady of Baiyun Valley is diligent and thrifty in managing the family, and she really deserves her reputation. My own sister is reluctant to buy a hairpin for four taels of silver. It's really... tsk tsk..."

The peddler snatched the hairpin back, his tone was full of ridicule and sarcasm, the woman's face became more and more embarrassed, while the exquisite and translucent younger sister showed a hint of reluctance on her face, and her mouth was pouted.

drive!
At this moment, a crisp sound of horseshoes came from the end of the street. Following the sound, a majestic and handsome white horse was galloping. On the horse's back was a young man with a thin figure and an exceptionally handsome face, dressed in brocade. , wearing a bright fur cloak behind him, and a white cloud sheep fat pendant that symbolizes Baiyun Mountain hung on his waist, and his face was full of pride and complacency.

This person is the owner of the Shaogu of Baiyun Valley, Bai Tianxiang.

Herod.

The white steed galloped in front of the two women, Tian Tianxiang tightened the reins, turned over and got off the horse, his gaze passed over the woman, and a hint of impatience flashed deep in his eyes, regardless of the smile on the woman's face, he turned around Looking at the young sister on the side with a smile on his head, he said,
"Xiaoyun is here? Why don't you tell brother-in-law that I'll send someone to pick you up."

"Brother-in-law..."

The girl called Xiaoyun showed a smile on her face, and said crisply,
"My sister said you are practicing, don't let me disturb you."

"It's just for practicing. One day I can't practice. When Xiaoyun comes, I have to greet him personally."

Bai Tianxiang smiled slightly, looked at the booth beside him, and said,

"What's going on, did you fancy something? My brother-in-law bought it for you!"

"Ok!"

The smile on the girl's face grew stronger, she hurriedly snatched the hairpin from the vendor's hand, and said,

"That's it, it's only four taels of silver, but my sister thinks it's expensive and refuses..."

"Four silver coins still feel expensive? Yun'er, you are too stingy, this is your own sister."

Bai Tianxiang frowned slightly, shook his head, and hummed with a trace of impatience in his voice,

"I call the shots and bought it."

"take money."

"Husband..."

When the woman heard this, a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on her face. The current situation of Baiyun Villa...

However, before she could finish speaking, Tian Tianxiang had already taken the hairpin and inserted it on the girl's head, and then said with a slight fiery tone in his tone,
"Let's go back to the villa, brother-in-law will show you a sword technique I practiced recently..."

"Well, thank you brother-in-law!"

The girl cheered happily, and followed Tian Tianxiang towards Baiyun Villa, leaving the woman standing there with embarrassment on her face...
