The lights in the east side hall in the backyard of the General Temple are bright, Xiao Langzhong is using a pair of small scissors to cut off the sutures on An Yi's thighs, the itching caused by wound healing in the past few days has made An Yi very uncomfortable, scratching is not, not scratching is not, and he does not dare to stomp his feet to stop itching, although he can walk without crutches, but the faint pain still makes him limp and unable to exert his strength, Xiao Langzhong said that it will take at least ten days to recuperate before he can walk.

An Yi took the cigarette handed by Dong Yanzi and asked in a low voice, "How are the twelve of you tutoring?" ”

"In the past two months, I have been persistent, and after the arrival of the eldest brother of the teaching team, the brothers have made rapid progress, especially the Zeng brothers, who have made significant progress, and mathematics and literature have caught up." Dong Yanzi carefully watched Xiao Langzhong pull out the short sutures, and felt that his eldest brother's pink scar looked like a centipede: "Big brother, your scar heals very well, but the shape is a little wrong." ”

An Yi looked down and smiled: "Don't you say that I don't pay attention to it, it's really fucking like a big centipede, dozens of symmetrical scars left by the sutures on both sides, and Zhenkiba is like dense centipede legs, lifelike, it seems that Lao Tzu can't wear briefs to go out in this life, haha!" ”

Xiao Langzhong laughed: "Who will go out in small pants to appear?" It's okay, go back and wait for the scab to fall off, I'll get some herbs back, boil out the potion and scrub it for the boss once a day, even if you can't make this scar as smooth as ever, it can make it smaller and lighter, these dozens of teams of centipede legs will definitely disappear clean, don't worry. ”

The brothers of the Zeng family mentioned by Dong Lingzi are Zeng Changgeng and Zeng Changhe, two cousins of the two clans, both of whom are young people recruited by An Yi in the mountains of northern Xiangbei, and a month ago with nine young soldiers who were selected from the brothers who were loyal to Geng and had entered private schools or farming families, while fighting in the north and south, they began to take cultural classes, and sent them to Huangpu for further study just after they won Nanjing, which would promote their lives, and second, the soldiers brought out by An Yi could be trusted by themselves, and they could command the army justifiably after returning from further study. It's better than transferring in from somewhere else.

Among this group of young people, only Xiao Langzhong is an alternative, Xiao Langzhong's full name is Li Meisheng, he has a solid cultural foundation, and he can also use five poultry operas and Tai Chi routines, but his practice is purely self-cultivation and has no meaning of technical attack. An Yi planned to arrange for him to study in a military school, but he was unwilling, and he couldn't afford to let him enter the major medical universities in China for further study, and finally An Yi gritted his teeth and said that he would go abroad to study abroad with Shen Jianping this time, and Li Meisheng said what he thought in his heart: When he is almost mixed, he will go back to his hometown, and if he takes revenge for killing his father, he will continue to inherit the ancestral business and hang the pot to help the world, and everything else is not interested.

The three of them were chatting happily when they suddenly heard a commotion from the southeast outside the temple, and the sound of the bolt of the gun and the sound of scolding were intermingling, apparently because the brothers in the camp had a dispute.

Dong Yanzi had already turned around and went out without waiting for An Yi's instructions, and a few minutes later he came in with Yin Jinan, Hu Zi, Xia Jian and others, all of them with blue faces and annoyance.

"Big brother, the brother brought back by the tiger head drank some wine and made trouble, the bandit leader named Bi Yuanlong, as if he was going crazy with wine and deliberately finding fault, actually beat his second master, Cao Jinfu, if it weren't for the tiger head to go fast, I'm afraid he would have to make trouble."

Yin Jinan likes the group of bandits brought back by Gu Lao Er very much, but he also has a headache, and he has been helping Gu Lao Er to find ways to effectively control them in the past few days, so that these bandits can truly become revolutionary soldiers, but he didn't expect that the military affairs were too busy in the past few days, and he held meetings all day long, and he didn't think that things had come out.

An Yi asked in surprise, "Who is this Bi Yuanlong?" How could he beat his second master? ”

Hu Zi sat down and lit a cigarette and explained in detail: "This Bi Yuanlong is originally from Tongshan, Hubei, 28 years old this year, at the age of 16, he killed three people in the township in the market because of gambling disobedience, and fled all the way south under the government's want, first in Chongyang Guishan in northern Hunan Province, and then led more than ten brothers to leave Chongyang due to infighting, and then went south again to set up another mountain, all the way to kill and gain a reputation, and finally fell into the grass in Jiulong Mountain, about 30 kilometers west of Yifeng, and the famous bandit leader Hu Xiangzong in western Jiangxi formed a brother with a different surname, and since then in the western Jiangxi area to rob the house, the power has grown.

The year before last, Hu Xiangzong suddenly fell ill and left, Bi Yuanlong became the big boss of Jiulong Mountain, Hu Xiangzong's eldest apprentice Cao Jinfu instead succumbed to him, I heard that the Sixth Army had tried to recruit him as a battalion commander, but this person has always been unrestrained, and refused.

Two months ago, Bi Yuanlong robbed a batch of salt and cloth from the Xiangdong Peasant Association, and finally angered the two party branches in Xiangdong, which had been suffering greatly, and organized more than 4,000 peasant Red Guards from three counties to enter western Jiangxi to sweep out the Red Guards in a big way, and in three days they destroyed Bi Yuanlong's old nest Jiulong Temple.

Bi Yuanlong led more than 100 people to flee to Tonggu and defected to Daxian Temple Cottage, but this person's surname is obedient and ruthless, and he has a bad reputation of being lustful, and the boss of the rivers and lakes of Tonggu is not willing to take him in, just this time the tiger head went back to Zhao'an, most of the brothers in the nine caves and eighteen villages are persuaded by the tiger head to become a businessman, everyone used the five thousand oceans sent by the tiger head to set up two caravans and a few inns, the young and strong people have always respected the tiger head, most of them followed, Bi Yuanlong, who was alienated by the Tonggu Jianghu, could only lead more than 100 remnants to follow, and this is what happened tonight. ”

An Yi turned his mind and asked, "It can't be any promise from the tiger head to this surnamed Bi, right?" ”

"Give him a hang!"

Gu Laoer, who was full of anger, strode into the room, came to the brothers and sat down angrily: "Lao Tzu didn't want him to come with him, but this grandson opened his mouth in front of a group of old brothers, and I couldn't refuse, a few old brothers who went down the mountain and followed the good quietly begged me to take him away, otherwise maybe this guy jumped over the wall after turning his face, and occupied the mountain for eight points in our copper drum territory, plus this grandson does have more than a dozen eye-catching talents, so Lao Tzu brought him."

Who knew that when he came back from training today, he began to complain that he was tired, and said that he would not send a gun to pay his salary, and he would lead the crowd to say goodbye, and Lao Tzu set up a banquet in the evening to persuade him, this grandson was hindered by Lao Tzu's reputation, so he could only nod and agree to the training camp for a few days and then say it, who knew that Lao Tzu's front foot would blow up as soon as his back foot was blown up, he didn't dare to move Lao Tzu's brother, but he beat his second master Cao Jinfu, the two masters were far above it, but they had a good temper and could accommodate people, plus the grandson surnamed Bi had a good but bad brain henchman, As long as the surname Bi gives an order, this idiot with high martial arts will kill people, so Cao Jinfu has to endure and not fight back, if it weren't for Lao Tzu going fast, he would really dare to cripple Cao Jinfu. Grandma's, if you weren't worried about the cold hearts of the brothers, Lao Tzu immediately chopped this dog just now! ”

The brothers sighed, and Yang Bin, who entered the room behind, also scratched their heads when they heard this.

Yin Jinan saw An Yi looking at the roof thoughtfully, and immediately understood that his eldest brother was using his brain, so he also calmed down and thought silently.

Yin Jinan thought about it and finally made up his mind, he motioned to the brothers to whisper his suggestion: "It's better like this, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, there will be another ring match, the tiger head is not good to come forward, let him come forward, if the surname Bi dares to fight, let him go, with a beard and Xia Jian to suppress the formation, where can this guy be crazy?" Don't dare to fight or lose the fight and take the opportunity to drive him away, such a person must not stay in our team, otherwise something will happen sooner or later! ”

All the brothers agreed, thinking that it was a good strategy, which could not only not let the obedient brothers chill and solve the hidden dangers in one fell swoop, but the tiger's eyes lit up, and they quietly waited for An Yi to make a decision.

An Yi smiled and glanced at the beard, and when he saw the beard nodding slightly, he whispered, "Okay, just do it!" Ji Nan, Hu Zi, and Lao Yang are going to the division headquarters for a meeting tomorrow morning, so I want to set the time at noon, and the sun is just right at noon in winter. Early tomorrow morning, I will let the brothers of the engineer company set up a ring in front of the high platform, and start the fight on time at three o'clock in the afternoon, so that all the brothers will come and watch, and by the way, select 100 people from the hundreds of brothers brought back by the tiger head to strengthen the regimental headquarters guard company.

After the competition, Xia Jian's fourth battalion selected 350 people from the remaining brothers, and formed our combat battalion together with the 200 old brothers who gradually returned from their injuries. The remaining 400 men will be filled into battalions and regimental companies. ”

Everyone applauded in unison, only Ye Cheng looked at An Yi with a smile and didn't speak, he had already guessed from the words "three o'clock in the afternoon" and An Yi so confidently assigned all eight hundred and fifty people, although Ye Cheng was deeply shocked by An Yi's iron-blooded methods, but he completely agreed with An Yi's arrangement, in this case, only a quick knife to cut through the chaos can achieve the greatest effect.

An Yi also smiled slightly when he saw the deep meaning in Ye Cheng's smile, and the two of them tacitly understood that they were full of admiration for each other's keenness.

The brothers dispersed, and An Yi left Hutou, Huzi, Yin Jinan, and Xia Jian behind, and explained his countermeasures to these brothers in life and death.

Gu Lao Er didn't expect that the little bit of his hidden mind would become so ingenious under An Yi's perfection, and he could keep himself from being infamous in the rivers and lakes, and the strong confidant feelings in his heart made this unruly hero extremely warm. He led Dou Fang to the east barracks according to his words, and helped Cao Jinfu, who was full of resentment, to the general's temple, Xiao Langzhong quickly helped Cao Jinfu untie his shirt, took out a special medicinal wine, and skillfully wiped the bruises and bruises on Cao Jinfu's arms and waist, and moved Cao Jinfu, who was gentle and righteous.

Gu Lao Er took the opportunity to whisper in Cao Jinfu's ear, Cao Jinfu was slightly surprised and hesitated at first, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely.

At noon the following day, the loud assembly call echoed in the mountains around Jiangjun Ridge, and the officers and men of the supplementary regiment, who had had lunch in advance, quickly assembled with great interest and gathered in the three directions of the east, south, and west of the wide and high platform erected by the brothers of the engineer company as battalions and companies, waiting for the start of the splendid "all-regimental technical fighting competition."

On the high platform in the north, An Yi and more than 20 lieutenants under him sat in a row, happily waiting for the game to start, Yin Jinan and Yang Bin also hurried back to sit around An Yi, a group of brothers who were deeply affected by An Yi were not serious at this time, looking at more than 2,600 officers and soldiers in front of them, all of them were judging and laughing.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the mighty and stern host Hu Jialin ascended the high platform and said some clichés of "inheriting the quintessence of the country, promoting national arts, strengthening the body and serving the family and country", and returned to the high platform in front of the temple to sit leisurely after announcing the vague rules of the game.

Xia Jian, Gu Lao Er and the tall and thin guard company lieutenant combat instructor Ding Zhicheng appeared on the stage as the referee of the game, and greeted the three sides with fists in accordance with the rules of the rivers and lakes, leaving only the referee Xia Jian on the stage, Gu Lao Er and Ding Zhicheng jumped out of the ring together and sat on the judge's seat in front.

Under the ingenious arrangement of An Yi and his brothers, the ring competition set up two items of sword and boxing, and each company of the whole regiment had ambitious brothers to sign up for the competition, and the first 200 would become the candidates for the guard company called "Tiger Ben of the Second Division" by the army commander, so the number of participants was as high as more than 280 people, about half of which were the old brothers who were not selected for the guard company in the Fengxin competition. The officers and men all know that as long as they can enter the guard company, they will definitely be able to get ahead in a year and a half, and even if they are eliminated due to injury, they can also be mixed with warrant officer platoon commanders in other battalions and companies.

The competition was very exciting, but also very cruel, fifty-three pairs of brothers without any protective gear with wooden knives and swords to fight hard, only one hour and thirty minutes to determine the top three, almost more than half of the participating brothers have varying degrees of injury, two of them were carried out of the ring due to a sudden blow of temporary concussion and shock, the loser except for sighing that his skills are not as good as others and swearing to come again next time, never showed a little resentment, the whole audience of brothers was thrilled, shouting excitement.

Yang Bin and the other five people finally knew why the officers and soldiers of the model battalion were so strong, and finally understood the root of An Yi's courage to issue the oath of "the sharp blade of the country and the iron-blooded army".

The next boxing game is even more tense, ninety-one pairs of randomly generated opponents are really fighting to the death, punching to the flesh, heavy hitting, roaring throughout, except for the lower body, throat, and the back of the head, everything else is arbitrary, so the more fierce the fight, the more injured there are, more than ten brothers were broken ribs by their opponents, seven were knocked unconscious on the spot, and there was no pair of players in the whole process for more than five minutes. As long as there is a ten-second entanglement and hugging, it will be immediately judged as a double loss, so the whole game is interlocking and thrilling, and the double elimination has been completed in two and a half hours.

Just when everyone was nervously waiting for the remaining 23 pairs of brothers after two rounds of elimination, An Yi, who was extremely excited to find many talents, suddenly ordered the competition to be terminated, and announced that these 46 brothers were all selected into the guard company along with the 28 brothers who had passed the second round of the sword competition.

When the order was issued, the brothers in the audience were greatly relieved and immediately burst into warm applause and cheers. After all, the competition was too fierce and there were many injuries, and although it was not life-threatening and left disabled, there were many brothers who had to lie down for ten days and eight days.

Among the 850 brothers on the east side of the ring, the tall and sturdy Bi Yuanlong took everything in his eyes, and he was shocked by the increasingly cruel competition under the impetus of the relaxed rules and the warm atmosphere.

At the banquet of the copper drum, Bi Yuanlong heard the unconvincing Gu Lao Er mention the unfathomable beard with admiration, so he paid special attention to the beard as soon as he appeared on the stage today, but Bi Yuanlong was an alternative who stepped into the ranks of the strong from the actual battle, he couldn't see what Hu Jialin with a short beard was good about, except for the lightning-like knife skills and a pair of ruthless iron fists of Gu Lao Er, Bi Yuanlong, who never gave up when he was stronger, never gave up, never met the so-called master, that is, Gu Lao Er's real kung fu He had only heard of it but had never seen it, Therefore, although he was jealous, he was also suspicious and unwilling.

Now, seeing that the young Gu Lao Er has obtained the rank of major, and led a team that was named "Tiger Ben" by the general of the Revolutionary Army Headquarters, and he also called in front of more than 800 Jianghu brothers in northern Jiangxi and western Jiangxi, Bi Yuanlong's heart was very unwilling, the reason why he borrowed wine last night to go crazy and beat up his unpleasant second master Cao Jinfu was to deliberately vent it to everyone, he Bi Yuanlong thought that even if he fell into Pingyang, at least he should be mixed with a lieutenant colonel battalion commander. In the past, the Sixth Army of the Revolutionary Army was rejected by himself when he offered this price, but now he can't lower it than this standard in any way, otherwise he would rather slap his ass and leave than succumb to a group of dolls younger than himself.

Now that he wants to leave, it is difficult to speak, Bi Yuanlong clearly realizes that this sudden competition is related to himself, to a large extent, people are measuring how many catties he Bi Yuanlong has, although he Bi Yuanlong put on a disdainful high posture and did not sign up, but in today's situation, he can no longer easily say goodbye, otherwise if it is spread out, his Bi Yuanlong's reputation in this life will be tarnished, and he will become a laughing stock in the mouths of those malicious people on the rivers and lakes, although Bi Yuanlong has been very calm from beginning to end, But now he feels that it is difficult to ride a tiger.

The cheers sounded so harsh to Bi Yuanlong's ears, Gu Lao Er and the mocking eyes of the head of the doll group with one arm hanging on the high platform in front of the temple from time to time finally aroused Bi Yuanlong's ambition, he called the tall and burly fool henchman behind him and whispered a few words, and the fool quickly stood up with an indifferent "oh", and strode towards the high platform behind Bi Yuanlong.

The beard on the high platform has long been seen in his eyes, and the reason why he waited for the overwhelming applause and cheers of the brothers to continue for a long time was to wait for Bi Yuanlong's arrival, thinking in his heart, it would be a pity if the cunning Bi Yuanlong was not fooled and asked to leave, and now seeing Bi Yuanlong striding forward, how could he not let the beard secretly be happy. So Hu Zi's heart moved, and he took a half step forward to signal the audience to be quiet, and said loudly as if he was ready to order the end: "I announce that this skill competition is ......."

"Slow—"

Bi Yuanlong roared, an arrow step jumped on the high platform and saluted to the beard, the fool with high martial arts followed behind him and seemed to go up with his feet effortlessly, Mu Ran stood about three meters behind Bi Yuanlong, and saw that many people with a foundation in the field exclaimed in astonishment, and the audience suddenly calmed down, looking nervously at the ring, and seemed to smell the strong smell of gunpowder from the flying jump of Bi Yuanlong and the two just now.

Bi Yuanlong proudly said loudly: "I Hubei Bi Yuanlong, thanks to the wrong love of friends in the rivers and lakes of the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, given the name 'Red Dragon', three days ago by the 'Northern Jiangxi Tiger Head' Gu Changfeng Gu Brother invited to come to the meeting, seeing today's fighting event Sansheng is lucky, and the skills are itchy to ask Brother Hu for advice, I don't know if Brother Hu can generously agree?" ”

The beard who was originally an old man in the rivers and lakes saw that Bi Yuanlong was looking for himself to compete as soon as he came up, and immediately knew that this person was not a wasted person, so that he could end up decently whether he won or lost, and wanted to stay and be happy with him, because he won the beard, Bi Yuanlong naturally became famous and shook the rivers and lakes, and no one laughed at him if he lost, after all, the beard respected by Gu Laoer, the "Tiger Head of Northern Jiangxi" who had a high vision and shocked the north and south of the Yangtze River, must be a master no less than Gu Changfeng, and it is definitely a decent thing to be able to fight with Hu Zi despite defeat.

Hu Zi sighed in his heart and remained silent on his face, and replied kindly with his fists in return: "Fortunately! In Hujialin, Lower Hebei, it is said that I can see Brother Bi's demeanor today. Since Brother Bi has this Yaxing, Hu is willing to ask Brother Bi for advice, meet friends with martial arts, and ask Brother Bi not to give him extravagant teaching! ”

Bi Yuanlong was secretly surprised when he saw that the beard was so magnanimous, he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, took a step back and said the word "please", and then turned sideways, gathering momentum, the burly fool behind him suddenly stared at the beard with sparkling eyes, and the more than 2,000 officers and soldiers in the audience were suddenly extremely nervous, but they were also very eager to see the demeanor of the martial arts master Hu Commander who made all the soldiers in the army worship and respect.

The bearded man with a relaxed expression looked at Bi Yuanlong in his eyes, but he was always on guard of the fool standing on the edge of the high platform, and from the fool's blazing gaze, the beard saw a bloodthirsty beast surname, and also saw a huge dangerous surname. Therefore, Hu Zi secretly decided to deal with Bi Yuanlong within two faces, so that he could go all out to deal with the tyrannical master who could get out of control at any time.

Bi Yuanlong was quite annoyed when he saw that Hu Zi was unmoved, and he only felt that his momentum was likely to fade little by little if he was stalemate, so he took a deep breath and roared, and strode into the middle of Hu Zi with an indomitable momentum.

The beard that is only three meters away from Bi Yuanlong is waiting for this opportunity, Bi Yuanlong's second stride has just been raised, the beard has crashed straight in like lightning, Bi Yuanlong, who is full of liver and gall, only felt a black in front of him, and hurriedly raised his arm to seal the frame, protecting the door and chest, who knew that the beard was slightly wrong in the radical body, and had already moved half a step to the left at the moment when the two were about to collide, and a right palm was firmly slapped on Bi Yuanlong's lower abdomen, with a muffled sound, Bi Yuanlong flew out upside down and let out a terrible scream, flew out more than four meters and fell on the edge of the sturdy ring, rolled and spewed out a mouthful of bloody arrows and passed out.

The audience was stunned and silent, everyone didn't see what was going on, the beard had returned to its original position, staring at the stupid big man with a violent chest rising and falling and red eyes on his face expressionlessly, only to see the stupid big one step forward, hugging the unconscious Bi Yuanlong, and suddenly roaring like a sudden thunder, he threw down Bi Yuanlong with a "bang", rushed to the beard like a wounded tiger, and stepped on the strong ring "dong dong", waving his thick arms in the exclamation of the audience and sweeping towards the beard's head without a head or a brain.

The slick beard moved sideways, avoiding its frontal attack and kicking out a kick at the same time, and kicked firmly on the stupid big hip joint, which kicked the menacing stupid big man and flew out of the ring, "bang" pounced on the referee's table under the stage, and immediately crushed a sturdy long table, Gu Lao Er, who had long been impatient, quickly pulled out his knife at the same time as he turned around, and swung it violently with the help of rotation.

With a crisp sound, a huge head flew up obliquely, crashing into the ring in mid-air, and the stupid big man who had just jumped up from the crushed table still danced wildly and turned his arms in a fast circle, and several strands of blood arrows shot out of the neck cavity of the lost head as high as several meters, and the heavy body turned strangely seven or eight times in a blood mist, and fell to the ground with a bang, and the brain that fell on the high platform stopped rotating at this time.

Hu Zi looked at the handle of the dagger in the middle of the skull at his feet in surprise, and turned to Ding Zhicheng under the stage with admiration, Ding Zhicheng smiled at Hu Zi, and returned to his original sad appearance again, staring at the stupid headless corpse and shaking his head again and again, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

(To be continued)
