Chapter 279 Hybrid Guard
Jiang Xinyu's guess was indeed correct. The reason why Xiaoxia was able to learn martial arts was because her aunt was Miss Yu's first bodyguard.
Miss Yu was still a baby at that time. She seldom went out, so the guarding job was particularly easy.
Her aunt worked for three years without encountering any danger. When the three-year period was over and it was time for her to get married, she received a large reward and lived a very glorious life.
Xiaoxia's family immediately saw a huge business opportunity, and all the girls in the family, regardless of whether they had talent or not, started practicing.
It’s a pity that qualifications are something that can’t be sought after. Only Xiaoxia passed the test, while the others were eliminated.
The reason why Xiaoxia told Jiang Xinyu all this was for a win-win cooperation.
There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts.
Jiang Xinyu and Xiaodie's kung fu skills are there, and they are obviously the best among this group of people.
But they were both outsiders and knew nothing about this mansion. If they violated some taboos, there was a high possibility that they would be eliminated.
If Xiaoxia was second only to them, she would have wanted to eliminate them so that they wouldn't take her place.
But Xiaoxia happened to be the last one in the group, so not only four but even six would not be left for her.
But it doesn't mean that there is no room for maneuver, it's just that the ability is not enough to plan and strategize.
She knew the rules that these two outsiders didn't understand better than anyone else. In addition, a sister who had a good relationship with her aunt when she was a bodyguard became a nanny and stayed with Miss Yu.
She still has an advantage in terms of personal connections.
As long as the two with the best martial arts skills cooperate with her and help her cheat, there is a high chance that the three of them can stay together.
Not only are they needed while we stay, but they can also be looked after when we go on patrol together in the future.
After all, she knows that her kung fu is not good enough.
Those who can reach this level have no problem with physical endurance, and lifting stone chains and running training are no problem at all.
The difficult part is the fight. Once two people fight, it is obvious who is better and who is worse.
But if she made friends with the Miao Cuihua sisters, it would be like finding two helpers.
When it's their turn to fight, these two will let them go. If they are a little ruthless to others, I, who am well-rested, can reap a great advantage.
Don't underestimate a girl who is only fifteen or sixteen years old. Her intrigues in order to achieve her goals are comparable to palace struggles.
Jiang Xinyu doesn't really rely on this job to support herself. To her, Xiaoxia's information is more valuable than anything else.
In order to continue to understand the inside story of the Yu family, she would find a way to keep this person even if Xiaoxia didn't tell her.
Jiang Xinyu had been in the General's Mansion for three days and had not been able to leave the yard.
Through chatting with Xiaoxia, I learned that the security outside is very strict, with a guard post every five steps and a sentry post every ten steps.
She finally understood why the spies from the East Factory had not sent out any information for a long time after sneaking in.
The division of labor is too detailed. You cannot walk around in areas that are not yours. Even the color of the servants' clothes indicates which door you can go to.
Jiang Xinyu couldn't help but sigh at the rules of the General's Mansion, but Xiaoxia said that it was not so strict before.
Except for the strict control that has always been exercised by Miss Yu, the front yard of the General's Mansion does not have so many rules. It was only in the past year that things suddenly became strict.
Jiang Xinyu and Xiaodie looked at each other and understood that General Yu was feeling guilty about the new emperor's ascension to the throne.
Xiaoxia's little trick really worked. On the final selection day, Jiang Xinyu and Xiaodie dealt heavy blows to their opponents one after another.
In the process of advancing level by level, only Xiaoxia was spared, so even though Xiaoxia could only beat one person, she was still left behind.
The little girl smiled like a sunflower after getting the new waist badge and protective soft armor.
She even treated Jiang Xinyu and the other girl as real sisters, but it was hard to tell how much of that was sincere or fake.
Jiang Xinyu naturally didn't care about this. Apart from asking questions as much as she could, she also used her connections to accompany Xiaoxia to meet her aunt's sister.
A pearl flower of decent quality and five taels of silver were stuffed into her purse and passed to them. The nanny became much closer to the two of them.
People with connections are different. The head guard who assigns them shifts is more considerate of them and even gives them room to choose.
Xiaoxia naturally chose the day shift.
Who wants to wander around in the dark at night when you can show up in front of your master and occasionally get a reward?
Xiaodie also chose the day shift while Jiang Xinyu chose the night shift.
She said that she was used to staying in bed and was afraid of missing her work, and besides, the night shift was quiet and she wouldn't have to greet people.
Afraid that Xiaoxia would be suspicious, she said a little embarrassedly that she wanted to save enough money to marry out and did not want to stay here for the rest of her life.
She thought she was good-looking, but it would be troublesome if she was noticed by the housekeeper in the mansion.
Night shift is good, clean.
Jiang Xinyu is indeed good-looking, and even though her skin is covering her facial features, her features are still very attractive.
Girls in the Bashu region are not too shy about marriage, and Xiaoxia just thought that she had a lover outside and was afraid of being noticed by the manager.
This makes sense.
For example, girls who are good at martial arts are all very proud, so it is normal for them not to want to marry someone they don’t like.
Thanks to the fact that Jiang Xinyu was a newly recruited guard and could only participate in the outer patrols, she was able to understand the routes and defenses of the entire backyard to a greater extent.
If I become an inner guard, I will just hang around Miss Yu's yard, which is not as free as it is now.
The two young masters of the Yu family have already married and had children, and now the eldest young lady is in charge of the backyard of the Yu family.
Although the original purpose of the female guards was to protect Miss Yu, the number of female guards was increased as there were many female relatives in the backyard.
Jiang Xinyu's night shift is to patrol in two directions in a team of six, so they don't have to walk all the time.
After walking around and meeting an enemy, you can find a place to rest and continue walking after an hour.
Generally, three rounds of patrol are enough and we just have to wait for the day shift people to come and take over.
Xiaodie and her partner quickly put together all the defenses for the backyard during the day and night.
The guards slept in a room with four people, and the four new people who came this time were grouped together.
Another taciturn girl named Danhong was also on the night shift. After they finished their night shift, only Xiaodie and Xiaoxia, who were on the day shift, were left sleeping in the room.
Even though Xiaodie didn't bring anything in, many of the flowers and plants in the huge garden in the backyard have medicinal value.
Just a little bit of fiddling around and you can make a lot of usable ones.
Bashu is hot and humid with many insects, so they light insect repellent incense in the rooms where they sleep at night.
Xiaodie made some slight movements and Xiaoxia fell asleep like a dead dog. She took advantage of the gap in the patrol to slip into the front yard.
After all, Xiaodie came from the East Factory, so she is more professional than Jiang Xinyu in gathering intelligence.
After dodging a wave of patrols, Xiaodie seized the opportunity and leaped onto the high wall like a civet cat.
He moved freely between the rooftops on tiptoe, so fast that people could hardly see him clearly.
Every leap was made with pinpoint accuracy and landed silently.
Who would have thought that such a master would have been working as a maid.
Maybe the situation in the imperial court was tense and Yu Sheng also sensed something different.
These days, the lights in the study were turned off later and later, and even Yu Sheng's two sons moved into the front yard.
Xiaodie hid in the dark and looked at the figure on the window from afar, frowning.
There must be several people in the house plotting something late at night, but she knew that if she moved any further she would be discovered.
If only she had a sharp ear, now she just wanted to know what those people were saying.
