Chapter 1156 - Peace Talks
Southeast, Nanyangyuan, training ground.
The scorching sun was unscrupulously swaying the heat, and on the training ground, a bunch of "recruits" were standing in a military posture under the scorching sun, their heads were sweating like fountains, they had a brick on their heads, two needles sewn on both sides of the collar at the neck, a wooden board between the knees of the legs, and a piece of paper between the hands and legs, but this paper was soaked with sweat at this time, became wrinkled, and some even broke, leaving only a small horn that was completely left between the fingers.
Some of them were trembling all over, their knees trembling like chaff, some of them had tanned skin, and some of them were shaky, with gold stars in their eyes, and when they saw that their bodies were about to fall to the ground, a loud shout would immediately sound around them: "Stand firm! Don't hurt others!!"
"yes, hold on, it's coming soon!"
The crumbling fellows would grit their teeth and hold on again, not that they didn't want to throw away the crumpled piece of paper that had rubbed their fingertips, not that they didn't want to shake off the bricks above their heads, not that they didn't want to run to the shade to lie down and rest, but not far in front of them there was a guy with a thousand cuts under the pergola, eating melons fished out of the well, while lying on a lounger and looking at them with a smile.
This guy is a real devil, he gave them a trap, let them get in and can't get out, and he also gave them such a set of "equipment", the bricks above their heads fell, they ate one less meal, the paper in their hands fell off, and they ate one less meal, if someone in the companion couldn't stand it in the middle of the middle, fell down, gave up, then everyone followed one less meal!
These requirements don't seem too harsh, but in fact, they make them desperate!
After more than ten days of training, they have been tortured by Li Chengfeng to the point of collapse and despair!
At first, they were full of resentment, feeling that they had been pitted by Li Chengfeng, because the requirements he put forward seemed simple, but in practice, they were simply impossible to do!
But when someone did it, the reward given by Li Chengfeng was also unthinkable to them.
The easiest of them all is to add a meal!
It's easy to say, but the people live on food, as long as they can meet the standard, they have meat for a meal, and four meals a day!
In particular, they will also eat some good things that they can't think of! For example, like the honeydew melon that Li Chengfeng is eating cheaply in front of him! These are good things that can only be eaten by Xungui on weekdays!
At this time, just looking at them, they were already about to drool, and the reason why they didn't flow yet was because the scorching sun had almost evaporated their water, and the water in their bodies had turned into sweat, and the clothes on their bodies were also dry and wet, and there was a thick layer of salt on their clothes.
Finally waited until the shadow of the sun on the ground passed the flagpole, and Zhao Xiaobao, who was also under the pergola, said with a smile: "It's time!"
They shook their bodies and fell crookedly, but some of them tilted their heads, and their necks immediately pierced the tip of the needle, and the pain made them excited, and they got up again with a scream.
Li Chengfeng looked at them with a smile and said, "Yo, didn't you say that you can't hold on? After two hours, isn't it quite energetic? Come, go and run ten laps per person!"
This sentence almost paralyzed everyone, and they almost sat down on the ground, and they looked at Li Chengfeng one by one as if they had seen the devil.
Li Chengfeng said with a smile: "Oh, just kidding, get up, get up! You are doing well today, come in and eat melons." ”
These guys who had been trained to death immediately had their eyes lit up, and they rushed into the pergola with a cheer, and took the cut melons from Zhao Xiaobao's hands.
Li Chengfeng smiled and watched them gnaw on honeydew melons, their hands and mouths full of sweet juice, and when they were shaking their fans, a figure stood next to them, turned their heads to look, but saw a guy with black skin standing beside him, grinning at him.
"Yo, black egg, what's wrong?" Li Chengfeng naturally recognized this black guy.
This is the hardest and hardest trained soldier among these "recruits", he is burly and tall, with a strong physique, and an honest personality, which makes Li Chengfeng can't help but think of Senior Brother He Zhu when he was in the Hidden Sword Pavilion. This also made him have a good impression of this guy nicknamed Black Egg.
Every time after training, Hei Dan would always rub to Li Chengfeng's side and say a few words, as if he wanted to deliberately befriend him.
Li Chengfeng knew about Heidan's careful thinking, and he didn't expose it, but just smiled and watched the changes.
The black egg scratched his head, slurred, and said in a squeaky voice: "Envoy Li, we want to ask Envoy Li about something." ”
"Oh? Li Chengfeng said with a smile, but his appearance really made others have a heavy psychological shadow, and he had already called him "Smiling Tiger Military Envoy" behind his back.
Hei Dan was very embarrassed and asked, "Let's inquire, is the cultivation sect where the military envoy is still recruiting?"
Li Chengfeng never thought that Hei Dan wanted to be close to him these days, but he actually fought this idea, he glanced at Hei Dan up and down, and said with a smile: "You want to enter our Lingshan Sect?"
Hei Dan nodded hurriedly, but waved his hand nervously: "No, no, no, we don't dare to expect to be a disciple of the Lingshan faction, our qualifications are like a chicken and a dog, and we can be favored by the Lingshan faction." Let's inquire, does the Lingshan faction still accept tenants?"
Li Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, and looked at him in surprise: "Why don't you give it a try? Maybe you can become a disciple of the Lingshan Sect?"
Hei Dan scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled: "We still have two younger brothers and three younger sisters in our family, we can't leave them to be monks." Even if you are chosen, the family can't afford to support it, so it's better to be a tenant and see if you can be a subordinate to the old man when the time comes, so that you can eat with your mouth. ”
Li Chengfeng was even more surprised: "Haven't you already become a regular soldier? Now as long as you pass training, you can become a regular army, and at that time, the military salary will be doubled, isn't it better than being a tenant?"
The black egg looked left and right, and saw that everyone was concentrating on eating the honeydew melon, he stepped forward and lowered his voice and said: "Don't dare to hide anything from the military envoys, we are soldiers just to eat, it is good to be a monk, but we are not good at fighting, when the time comes, if we are caught on the battlefield like now, won't we die faster?
Li Chengfeng's expression was solemn, and he said, "Where did you hear that there is about to be a big battle?"
Black Danqi said: "Those golden retrievers have been fighting with us for decades, and now they don't fight with us to win or lose, how can there be peace talks?"
Li Chengfeng actually guessed that the peace talks of the puppet country were just a delaying tactic, but for Long Tenghai, he also needed time to rectify the army and logistics, so he tacitly accompanied the other party in the peace talks.
But at the moment, even Geng Zhizhi like Black Egg knows that this peace talk is fake! There will definitely be an earth-shattering war next!
Li Chengfeng patted Hei Dan's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you won't be able to go to the battlefield at that time!" When this battle is over, I recommend you to go to our Lingshan Sect Hidden Sword Pavilion!"
The black egg was overjoyed, and hurriedly wanted to kneel down and kowtow: "Thank you military envoy, thank you master!"
Li Chengfeng hurriedly hugged him and shouted in a low voice: "Don't kneel in the barracks!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard Han Tianxing's voice coming from afar: "Senior brother, senior brother!!"
Li Chengfeng and the people in the pergola all raised their eyes, but saw Han Tianxing rushing to the front, and said nervously and expectantly: "Peace talks...... It's broken!"
The "recruits" in the pergola suddenly fell silent, and the melons in their hands were not fragrant or sweet in an instant.
Because they know that a terrifying war with millions of people is about to begin!
