Zhang Xiaowu's personality has one thing to say, and he does not hide it, and he said directly: "Replacing the real knife with a bamboo stick protects his companions, but the bamboo stick is light and the real knife is bulky. He took the bamboo knife and waved it with his hand casually, only to hear the sound of buzzing in the air, but he had no power, so he shook his head and asked, "What is the weight of the saber used in your usual Yuan family knife technique?" ”

Yuan Shikai said: "We use a willow knife, also known as a Han knife, which is a commonly used knife for imperial officials and fast catchers, with a length of four feet and a weight of two catties and two taels. Because of the exile, our Yuan family did not dare to keep it, so we were forced to practice with bamboo knives. ”

Zhang Xiaowu nodded and said: "I saw a Han knife when I was in Yun County, but our border army doesn't use a Han knife, everyone uses a waist knife, the waist knife is three feet long, and it weighs one catty and nine taels." ”

Yuan Shikeqi said: "Why is the sword of the border army lighter and shorter than that of the Central Plains? Isn't it dangerous to be so against the enemy? "Other children of the Yuan family also came up, they thought that most of the border army knives were very long and heavy, but they didn't expect that they were not as good as the Han knives used by the officials.

Zhang Xiaowu and the others laughed, and he said: "Our border army is equipped with three knives on weekdays, including a seven-foot-long Pu knife, a three-foot-long waist knife and a two-inch short knife. If you engage an enemy in the field, you will sometimes wear a nine-foot spear. The distance between the Han sword and the spear gun is not as long as the Pu knife, and the melee combat is not as flexible as the waist knife and the short knife, so it is abandoned. In addition, the Han knife is long and narrow and easy to break, but it is not as good as the waist knife. ”

So that's the case, the children of the Yuan family nodded one after another, and Yuan Shikai suddenly asked again: "What does the general think about other improvements?" At the level of our brothers, if we enter the army, can we do what we can do as a captain and a captain? ”

Zhang Xiaowu shook his head and said: "If a group of strong men are forcibly pulled into the barracks, with your martial arts, you can be the commander of the army, but you can say that you are the chief, which will not only harm the robe, but also harm yourself." The martial arts moves of the Yuan family seem to be to control the enemy, not to kill. If your moves are placed in my ghost guard, I am afraid that the three moves will definitely fail. ”

Yuan Shikai and the others didn't believe it, and Zhang Xiaowu didn't make a move, so he turned around and asked Bao Yin to fight them.

Seeing this, Bao Yin was embarrassed: "General, he is your eldest brother, I injured him, you won't blame me, right?" Zhang Xiaowu kicked him on the ass and kicked him into the circle, Bao Yin's courage became bigger, carrying a four-foot bamboo pole in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's a little long, I'm not used to it, let me cut it shorter." ”

Yuan Shikai said: "One inch long and one inch strong, if you are proud, I will not show you mercy." ”

Bao Yin broke off a foot, then wrapped it in a white cloth, and walked towards Yuan Shikai seemingly idlely.

Seeing this, Yuan Shikai shouted "ha", raised his knife and stabbed him, Bao Yin then resisted, blocked three times in a row, and suddenly kicked out. The kick was towards Yuan Shikai's lower body, so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, Bao Yin took the opportunity to bully himself, fought the knife against the knife, and then smashed a head hammer on Yuan Shikai's nose.

"Boom!"

Yuan Shikai, the boss of the Yuan family, was smashed by Bao Yin and fainted.

With one move, Yuan Shikai was defeated, and Zhang Xiaowu thought that he could block three moves, but it seemed that he couldn't block one move.

That Yuan Shikai was lying on the ground, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain, blood flowed out of his nose, spilled on his clothes, and the others hurriedly surrounded him. Yuan Shikai covered his nose, tears and snot and blood flowed out together, and he didn't know if it was aggrieved or painful, the sourness was simply oozing.

Zhang Xiaowu saw that Yuan Shikai was defeated, and he was defeated so quickly, and the cat cried out like a mouse: "Tut, Bao Yin, why are you so vicious, that's my eldest brother." ”

Bao Yin couldn't cry and laughed, and said, "General, didn't you let me be ruthless?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "When did I let you be ruthless?" ”

Bao Yin said: "General, if you kick me, it means that I must be ruthless, you see, I did it, right?" ”

"Fool! Fool! Fool! Zhang Xiaowu held back a smile in his heart, scolded Bao Yin, and then helped Yuan Shikai to the side with the other brothers-in-law.

After a while, Yuan Shikai recovered, and then covered his nose and hummed, Zhang Xiaowu said in his heart that he would not break the bridge of his nose, Bao Yin was also very afraid, but when he saw Zhang Xiaowu looking at him, he immediately said: "General, I am at your command." ”

Zhang Xiaowu slandered in his heart: "Your uncle, I let your subordinates be merciless, and don't disfigure him." ”

That Yuan Shikai's nose was bleeding nonstop, and it took him a long time to recover as usual, and then he realized the gap between himself behind closed doors and real soldiers, he felt that he had several moves to deal with the opponent, but at that critical moment, it seemed that his hands and feet did not listen to the brain. It's not who has more moves, who can win, that Bao Yin is just a few moves before and after, it can't be simpler, but he won him. Yuan Shikai hurriedly asked: "General, how many people like Master Bao rank in the army?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Let's put it this way, he is the worst in martial arts among the captains, and even some soldiers can beat him." ”

Yuan Shikai didn't believe it, Bao Yin said with a smile: "The general is right, I am a lieutenant not because I am good at martial arts, but because I am good at raising horses and riding horses." I can't do martial arts on the ground, but I'm not afraid of them right away. Yuan Gongzi, if the two of us are going to fight against each other, I don't need a blade, I use my bare hands, if I can't capture you alive, I won't be a captain. ”

Yuan Shikai waved his hand hurriedly, he could ride a horse, but he couldn't fight a horse at all, but from today on, he also realized the gap between himself and others.

Zhang Xiaowu said: "How long have you been riding a horse, how long have you been a person, and you have to fight with others on horses, and you have to be embarrassed." Eldest son, ignore him and kick his nose in the face. Wang Yijin held back a smile on the side, the general was too bad, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, but this Yuan family brother was really rude, knowing that the general was visiting today, not only did he go out to greet him, but he also competed in the courtyard, obviously giving the general a dismount, but unfortunately their three-legged cat kung fu was lost.

Yuan Shikai smiled embarrassedly: "Mother-in-law is inside, I'll take you over." ”

The Yuan family now lives in the courtyard of the three entrances, and only after walking through the last third door did they come to the place where the female dependents live, the big house in the middle is the main house where the old lady of the Yuan family lives, and next to it is the house where the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yuan family, the second daughter-in-law of the Yuan family, the third daughter-in-law of the Yuan family and the little aunt of the Yuan family live. Mrs. Yuan had three sons and one daughter, and all three sons participated in the rebellion, and the son-in-law divorced the daughter of the Yuan family in order to avoid being implicated by the Yuan family. The four elders are all in their thirties and forties, and because they are from official families and are well maintained, they look much younger than many women in their thirties and forties in Mucheng.
