The next day, Liu Yi instructed Cui Si to buy a piece of land on the school training ground at a high price, and then ordered someone to hire workers to build a research institute in the city. When Sun Yu was in office, whenever there was such an action, he would requisition ordinary people for free in the name of the government, but Liu Yi hired laborers in the name of a private person this time.

In less than one morning, the number of people who signed up was as high as 1,000 people, if it weren't for Liu Yi's timely posting of the list to stop, it is estimated that the number of people would increase, although with the support of Lord Thorn Shi and the surrounding counties, but so many laborers, it would cost Liu Yi a lot of money just for wages and food at the end of the day, plus the cost of materials for the research institute, Liu Yi made a lot of money in order to build this research institute.

Liu Yi and Cui Si took Blacksmith Li and others to build the research institute here, while Zhang Fei, Yao Lie and Wang San were busy training those soldiers.

Time flies, half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the construction of the research institute is basically on the right track, according to Liu Yi's estimate, the research institute can be completed about a year ago, and it can be put into use after the New Year.

On this day, it was the one-month period agreed by Liu Yi and the soldiers, Liu Yi got up early, and after giving instructions to Cui Si and Li Blacksmith and others, he followed Zhang Fei and others to the school training ground.

After half a month of high-intensity physical training and sufficient nutritional supplements, the 200 soldiers on the field at this time were much stronger than before, and their bodies were stronger than before. And Yao Lie and other poisonous scorpion members, after this period of training, compared with the previous domineering leakage, the momentum is much more restrained, Liu Yi took the bow and arrow that had already increased from five buckets to one stone from the hands of one person, pulled hard, and then nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that you brothers have not fallen behind in practice when I am not there recently!" ”

Yao Lie said on the side, "Whether the lord is there or not, we poisonous scorpions are strict with ourselves, and we can't live up to the lord's high hopes for us!" ”

"Hey~ Old Yao, what do you mean by this? You mean we're lazy, don't you? Zhang Fei shouted loudly on the side.

"Lord, look at how unreasonable this kid is! When did I say you guys were lazy! Yao Lie smiled and complained to Liu Yi.

Liu Yi looked at the two of them who were getting deeper and deeper, and was very happy, and then said to the two with a smile, "You two don't always have to quarrel in front of me, don't you be lazy for a while, and have a real chapter under your hands!" ”

"Are we afraid of him? Who will lose and who will win this time is not known? Zhang Fei shouted on the side.

Yao Lie saw that Zhang Fei was so arrogant, so he laughed and said, "Since Yide, you are so confident!" Why don't we gamble on another month's worth of drinks this time? ”

Zhang Fei saw that Yao Lie still had to make a bet with himself, his head shook like a rattle and said, "Old Yao, you don't come to this set, last time I Lao Zhang was fooled by you, and my mouth is about to fade out of my mouth this month!" ”

Liu Yi and the others laughed when they saw Zhang Fei cowardly, Zhang Fei saw Liu Yi and others laughing at him, and hurriedly defended, "Lord, I'm not cowardly, I'm afraid that the impact will be bad, you said that we are also in charge of things now, and it's not good to always gather people to gamble, besides..."

Liu Yi waved his hand to stop Zhang Fei, who was about to continue, and scolded with a smile: "You can pull it down quickly!" How can you learn to be like Cui Si now, so poor! ”

When everyone heard this, there was another burst of laughter.

Liu Yi saw that the time was almost up, so he stopped chatting with a few people, stood on the high platform, glanced at the soldiers in the audience, and said solemnly, "The January deadline has arrived, and the time to test the results of your training has arrived!" If you were still being beaten up like the first time, then I don't think there would be any need for our team to exist! Because I Liu Yi has never needed a weak person here, if it is a man, give me the blood of a man! ! And what I said before about weapons and centurions, I, Liu Yi, will definitely keep my promise! After today, I hope that you will have someone wearing the same armor as the scorpion and holding the same weapon as them! Do you have any faith!? ”

"Yes~Yes~" The soldiers in the audience shouted emotionally in response to Liu Yi.

Liu Yi saw that everyone's emotions had been mobilized, so he asked Zhang Fei and others to go down to prepare.

After a while, the two teams were ready, and Liu Yi took the gong that was hanging on the wooden stake on the side and struck the gong vigorously.

As soon as the gong sounded, the two teams of men and horses shouted and rushed towards each other, this time none of the soldiers fled, and the scorpion team did not come up to take a defensive formation, and the two teams rushed to each other in the most direct and savage hand-to-hand combat.

This time the sparring lasted for half an hour, and finally ended in the defeat of the soldiers, but compared with the last time, this time everyone tried their best, although the soldiers were still beaten in the end, but no one rolled on the ground like last time and shouted pain, and the scorpion team was not easy to win, and several people were punched in the face, and everyone on the field was so tired that they were gasping for breath.

Zhang Fei watched his soldiers defeat Yao Lie's scorpion team again, and he was a little angry and a little lucky.

"Fortunately, this time I learned to rape the old Zhang, otherwise I wouldn't be able to drink for a month," Zhang Fei stood on the high platform and thought with palpitations.

Liu Yi didn't expect that he hadn't come for half a month, and everyone's progress was so great! I was so happy that I promised all the soldiers on the spot, "I am very satisfied with your performance today!" Starting today, each person will be given five copper coins per month as a military salary! ”

When everyone heard that there was still a military salary, they couldn't care about the pain, and they knelt down to Liu Yi and said, "Thank you, lord!" ”

After Liu Yi waved his hand to let everyone get up, he turned his head and said, "Yao Lie, you saw it!" Now there are people in Yide's team who can injure your poisonous scorpions, which is not good! ”

When Yao Lie heard this, he was ashamed in his heart, his face turned red, he knelt in front of Liu Yi and said, "What the lord said is true!" It's all to blame for Yao Lie's rule! Please, the Lord to condemn you! ”

Liu Yi hurriedly helped Yao Lie up and comforted, "I don't mean to blame you, I mean you can't train like Yide and them anymore, the scorpion special forces are already very good in martial arts, if you want to really grow up, you have to fight against opponents who are equal or even more fierce than you!" ”

"Yes!" Yao Lie replied respectfully.

After Liu Yi's words, Yao Lie secretly made up his mind in his heart.

Zhang Fei, who was on the side, saw Liu Yi say this about Yao Lie, thinking that he was blaming, and hurriedly said, "Lord! Lao Yao, they have trained much harder than us during this time! These brothers are all looking at it, you can't blame Brother Yao like that! ”

Liu Yi saw that Zhang Fei actually thought that he was blaming Yao Lie, and laughed and scolded: "You fucking still have to take care of other people's affairs!" Let me ask you, how did you and Wang San train the soldiers? I've been practicing for a month, is the result bad? Look at the soldiers with blue noses and swollen faces under your hands, this is also the mercy of other people's subordinates, if this is really a real gun and real knife competition, you 200 people will have to explain here in less than a quarter of an hour, and you still have the face to plead with others here!? ”

Zhang Fei was blushing and thick-necked by what Liu Yi said, so he didn't refute it, but complained in a low voice: "Why don't you practice, it's all up to you!" Now it's time to blame the two of us! ”

Liu Yi also ignored Zhang Fei, who was complaining, turned around and stepped down, called out the two people who performed the best in the sparring, and reappointed them as centurions.

After everyone chatted for a while, Liu Yi gave the soldiers a day off and let them rest for a day, and then returned to the house with Yao Lie and others.

After returning to the house, Yao Lie told Liu Yi his thoughts about the school training ground.

"My lord! I want to take my team to fight the Hu people tomorrow! Since I followed the lord, although we have been training during this time, compared to the real battlefield, we have not trained enough, so I want to take the poisonous scorpion to the Hu people alone to sharpen it! ”

"Huh? Which line is that? Lao Yao, are you crazy? Those gang of Hulu are belligerent by nature, but they can't compare to those little Ga beans under my hands! It's too dangerous for you to be just a few of you!! Zhang Fei shouted.

"Yes! I originally wanted Cui Si to inquire about where there are small groups of bandits, and let you go and fight against the bandits first, Hu Lu is mostly a nomadic tribe, and his kung fu on horseback is very strong! Besides, even if you want to go, you have to prepare well, is your decision a little hasty? Liu Yi also persuaded.

"Lord, this matter is not a temporary uprising of Yao, my brothers mentioned this matter to me a few days ago, but I didn't realize the urgency of the matter at that time, after practicing with the soldiers under Yide today, coupled with the words of the lord, let Yao be empowered, if you want to be really strong, you can't just attack the wooden target in the school training ground! Only by fighting enemies stronger than yourself can you make yourself stronger! Yao Lie said in a firm tone.

Liu Yi and Zhang Fei saw that Yao Lie had made up his mind, so they stopped persuading.

"Since you are determined to do so, it is not easy for me, the lord of the lord, to persuade you too much! It's just that I only have one request! ”

"My lord, please speak!"

"You must take your own safety as the first priority, fight if you can fight, run if you can't fight, and don't be strong!" Liu Yi instructed.

"Rest assured, my lord! Although we have lost many battles against those Hu people in the past, after all, we also have some experience, and I promise the lord that I will bring back the seventeen of them completely! ”

"Eighteen!" Liu Yi grabbed Yao Lie's hand and said solemnly.

"Yes!" Yao Lie burst into tears of gratitude.

On the same day, Liu Yi instructed Blacksmith Li and others to make a batch of weapons for Yao Lie and others overnight as a backup, and then called all the seventeen members of the scorpion special forces to the mansion.

Early the next morning, Yao Lie and the others simply packed their bags and prepared to set off.

Liu Yi took the military flag embroidered by the maids last night from the Wang family and handed it to Yao Lie, the size of the military flag is about one and a half meters by two meters, and the red military flag is embroidered with a big black poisonous scorpion, the poisonous scorpion is attacking, the stinger on the tail is raised high, and the whole poisonous scorpion looks lifelike.

After Liu Yi handed over the military flag to Yao Lie, he instructed everyone.

"Brothers, you must pay attention to safety! You must remember what I said, if you can't beat it, you must run!! ”

"Don't worry! The words of the main bus generation must be kept in mind! It's just that the old and young in the family still bother to ask the lord to help take care of it! ”

Since Yao Lie and others recognized Liu Yi as their father-in-law, they took all the family members who were originally in the land of Youyan to Zhuo County.

"Brothers, rest assured! Your family is my Liu Yi's family, as long as I have me, I will definitely not treat them slowly! ”

"Thank you, my lord!" And they all bowed.

Zhang Fei, Wang San and Cui Si also came to see off everyone, Cui Si, this kid doesn't look at the usual love of money, but it is still very interesting to treat his brothers, at this time Cui Si took out all the money he had hidden during this time and gave it to Yao Lie and others.

"Old Yao! You'll have to come back soon, or our soldiers won't have anyone to fight against!" Zhang Fei said while distributing his treasured good wine to everyone.

Yao Lie took the wine bag, opened it and took a big sip, and then smiled at Zhang Fei: "We will come back on time to participate in the sparring in a month, and if you lose again, you will have to bring me a few jars of your good wine!" ”

"Hey~ a few jars are enough for something! When the time comes, all my wine will be yours! ”

"Good! Deal! ”

"It's a deal!"

Yao Lie clenched his fists and looked at everyone and said, "Lord, brothers! Let's say goodbye and see you later! ”

"See you in a month!"
