Chapter 41 Xiao Family Reform
Chapter 41 Xiao Family Reform
As soon as Xiao Xia returned to the dormitory, Xiao Zhurong found him.
"The Second Master will gather all the warriors for a meeting tonight, including you. Come along!"
"Do I have to go?" Xiao Xia didn't want to participate.
Xiao Zhurong advised: "This is the first time the Second Master has given a speech since taking office. I heard that he is going to announce a reform plan, which may affect the interests of everyone. The head of the family is also here, so I suggest that you better go!"
"where is it?"
"In the main hall of the martial arts hall. We'll have dinner together later, and then we'll go together!"
Xiao Xia had a hunch that Xiao Hu was about to take full power.
..........
As night fell, three hundred Xiao family warriors gathered in the White Tiger Hall, the main hall of the martial arts hall. The hall was extremely spacious, and it was more than enough for three hundred people to sit on the floor.
Among the 300 warriors in the Xiao Mansion, there are dozens of Xiao family descendants, including eight legitimate sons of the inner mansion, including Xiao Zhurong, who all served as team leaders. And now, the one who has replaced Liu Erhu as the deputy commander of the third-level warriors is Xiao Shaoyou, the son of the fourth son Xiao Gui.
The strength of the Xiao family warrior camp is quite good. There are 24 first-level warriors, 59 second-level warriors, and the rest are third-level warriors. All of them have passed the martial arts exam, except Xiao Xia, of course, who is just a supporting role.
There were forty people who passed the third level of martial arts. It was said that Qiu Hailiang and Liu Erhu, who had the highest martial arts skills, even reached the fourth level, and the rest were either the second or first level.
Although Xiao Xia had grown three centimeters taller during this period, now about 1.78 meters tall, and had become much stronger, he was still inconspicuous among the warriors.
Xiao Xia was sitting with a group of young third-level warriors. At this time, Xiao Xia discovered that there were two tall and strong twin men sitting behind Xiao Hu. They were about thirty years old and looked very fierce.
Xiao Xia found that two fierce men had been staring at him, so he whispered to Xiao Zhurong, "Who are those two twin warriors behind Second Master? They look very fierce."
Xiao Zhurong whispered, "They are the new head coaches invited by the Second Master. They are indeed a pair of twin brothers. The one with black spots on his face is the elder brother Yu Hai, and the one without black spots is the younger brother Yu Chuan. It is said that both of them are at the sixth level of martial arts. To describe them in eight words, they are 'vicious, cunning, and cold-blooded.'"
"how do you know?"
"They were previously the deputy head coaches of the Chen family's Guangling martial arts school. They were notorious. It was said that they thought the salary given by the Chen family was too low, so the second master doubled their salary and poached them. But they were not here to train martial arts students."
Xiao Xia was secretly surprised. The sixth level of martial arts is Qiong Shi, which means completing the foundation and being able to kill 90% of the warriors in seconds. Xiao Hu is only at the fifth level of martial arts, so wouldn't he be more powerful than Xiao Hu?
"Are they here to be instructors at the martial arts school?"
"He's not a martial arts instructor, he was specially invited to train us!"
Xiao Xia was startled. "Aren't you all already masters from the martial arts school? What else do you need to train for?"
"Shh—Second Master is going to lecture me!"
Xiao Hu walked forward and spoke slowly.
"Some things have happened in the Xiao family recently. I'm sure everyone has heard about them. They are heartbreaking. The head of the family and I have deeply felt that the Xiao family must undergo a thorough reform, otherwise we will really be eliminated.
So from now on, I will be in charge of the Xiao family's guards, including the martial arts hall and the martial arts academy. I will now announce five new reform measures, and everyone must comply, otherwise get out. The Xiao family does not keep useless people!"
Xiao Hu glanced sharply at the warriors, and his gaze fell on Xiao Xia intentionally or unintentionally.
“First, without my approval, no one is allowed to leave Jiangdu without permission. Violators will be expelled!
Second, no one is allowed to have any contact with the Jiangning Xiao family or the Jinling Xiao family. Once discovered, they will be expelled immediately. I also encourage informants, and there will be a generous reward for informants! Third, there will be an important martial arts competition in August. This is one of the two most important events for the Xiao family this year. From now on, everything will revolve around the August martial arts competition.
Fourth, originally the list of participants in the competition was decided by the head of the family. Now the head of the family has given up this arrangement and it will be arranged by me. I have decided to adopt the competition system.
What does it mean? The warriors will be selected by a martial arts competition. Everyone must participate. The one with the best martial arts skills will win. There are a total of 30 places for the competition. When the three Xiaos fight, each victory will be rewarded with 1,000 strings of cash. If we win in the end, the one with the best performance will be rewarded with a house of three mu. "
There was a murmur of discussion from below. One thousand strings of cash! And a three-acre house. This was an unprecedentedly generous reward. Everyone's eyes lit up, especially Qiu Hailiang, who had the highest martial arts skills. His eyes narrowed. He seemed to see the three-acre house waving to him.
But the third-level warriors were indifferent, because they knew that the one thousand kan and three acres of house had nothing to do with them.
Xiao Xia secretly curled her lips. This Mr. Xiao was playing word games! He didn't say whether it was a reward of one thousand guan per person or a collective reward of one thousand guan for the whole game.
You should know that both flag-grabbing and water-fighting are group activities.
At this time, the head of the family, Xiao Cong, stepped forward and said slowly: "Third-level warriors, don't think that the competition has nothing to do with you. Third-level warriors will also participate in the Sanxiao Fighting Competition in August."
Xiao Cong glanced at everyone and continued, "We will select ten from each of the first-level warriors and second-level warriors, and ten outstanding warriors from the third-level warriors to participate in the competition. As long as they are selected, each person will be rewarded with 200 strings of cash, or 50 tiger and leopard pills."
Everyone was in uproar. The martial arts hall was like boiling water. All the warriors were very excited. Fifty tiger and leopard pills! This was a treasure that money couldn't buy.
"Quiet!"
Xiao Hu roared loudly, and the martial arts hall suddenly became quiet.
Xiao Hu said loudly to everyone, "There is one last point, and it is also the most important one. Starting from tomorrow, everyone must spend three hours a day in the martial arts hall practicing martial arts, and this will last until the end of July. The Yu brothers I have just hired will be the coaches. If you can't do it, raise your hands now and get out!"
The hall was silent. Everyone was shocked by the last rule. They had all graduated, and many of them had families and children, but now they had to start training again.
Xiao Hu glanced at everyone sharply, "Who! If you can't do it now, please raise your hand?"
This is everyone’s job, who dares to say no?
At this moment, there was a sudden uproar, and everyone looked to the back, only to see a hand raised that was not yet an adult.
The person who raised his hand was Xiao Xia. Are you kidding? Three hours a day, he can't do it!
Xiao Zhurong was so frightened that his soul flew out of his body. He clasped his hands together and begged, "Please, don't cause trouble!"
Xiao Hu was immediately furious. How could someone dare to publicly insult him?
"Asshole! Who are you? Stand up!"
Xiao Xia slowly stood up and looked coldly at the extremely hypocritical Xiao Erdang, who stabbed Liu Erhu to death with a sword but framed Zhang Jue.
Xiao Hu's eyes suddenly widened. He didn't expect it would be Xiao Xia. Everyone else could leave, but Xiao Xia couldn't. Mr. Pei asked him to keep an eye on Xiao Xia and not let her leave Jiangdu.
So his first plan was tailor-made for Xiao Xia.
Xiao Hu snorted, "I always do things fairly. Tell me first, what is the reason why you can't do it?"
