Chapter 19: The Contest

Cheng Lei saw that Zheng Bin was still a little puzzled, so he smiled and said: "Lao Zheng, Lao Zheng, think about it, why is this old fox in a hurry to meet us now?" I know that there must be a lot of things when we just come back from the war, why are you in such a hurry, and the things in it are a little hard to guess! ”

Zheng Bin's eyes widened: "Are you saying that there is anything else in the middle?" ”

"No, no, no......" Cheng Lei waved his hand: "I didn't say that there has to be anything greasy here, but this Duke of Duozan is very steady and steady every step." This is a man who has taken ten steps at a time, and now he has no idea what he wants to meet us, so he must refuse them first. Then the initiative is in our hands, and I would like to give him a warning, don't come and go when we are called, we are not his men! ”

"That's right, Lao Cheng, I found out how you look like an old fox more like that old fox now! Where did Cheng Daring, who used to make trouble all day long, go? Zheng Bin said sullenly.

At this time, Cheng Lei smiled: "There is an old saying, don't expect the world to adapt to you, you have to adapt to the world!" In my opinion, it's a good thing that the rebels still have a liger as their brain, otherwise those people would not be Duozan's opponents at all, and it would be useless to give them twice as many people! ”

The next day, Cheng Lei ordered everyone except the players on duty to have a day off. As for the prisoners brought back, except for Hu Yang and Wang Danian and a few other people who took care of the war horses, all the others were pulled to the training ground by the vice captain of the Night Lion Squad for training. Start with the positive walk and queue and proceed slowly, as for whether these people can become soldiers who meet Cheng Lei's requirements, it is difficult to say.

Cheng Lei smoked a cigarette and watched Li Changcheng, the deputy captain of the Night Lion Squad, reluctantly train these prisoners there, and shouted a few times with interest. Li Changcheng took these twenty or so people to kick and walk, and complained to someone from time to time. In his words, this is all in a new world, and he even brought up a company of recruits, and he can be as depressed as he wants.

The captives were all veterans, and a few of them had a bit of a stubborn taste. They all feel that since they are soldiers, they are picking up guns and killing people, and now they are actually letting them train and walk, so they are very incomprehensible and very emotional.

Of course, Li Changcheng will not allow this kind of sentiment to breed, although he is unwilling to bring these "new soldiers", but since Cheng Lei has given the order, he must obey unconditionally, and if he wants to do it, he must do it well, which is the tradition of the Lion King squadron.

So Li Changcheng naturally "educated" a few thorns, how did he educate him? It's very simple, whoever is not convinced will go head-to-head with him. The first strength of their special forces is naturally fighting and shooting, and they are all trained killing methods, although those captives usually feel that they are strong in their means, but it didn't take a few minutes for Li Changcheng to open their eyes.

At first, there was no opponent in one pair, then it was two against one, and finally it was five against one, and it was not Li Changcheng's opponent. The captives were completely convinced. In the end, Li Changcheng did not forget to leave them with a cruel word, Mr. Cheng Lei, their leader on the sidelines, can beat Li Changcheng three by himself!

The captives, who originally thought that Li Changcheng was at the pinnacle, completely lost their temper, squinting at the leader who was smoking on the edge of the training ground and watching them fight and cheer loudly, even if there were some thoughts that were not quite convinced, no one showed them.

"Mr. Cheng, I'm so interested!" Du Mo came again, and his enthusiasm could be heard from afar.

Cheng Lei didn't even look back, he just shouted at the prisoners on the training ground: "Kick my legs up when you walk right, don't give me food tonight if you don't practice well!" ”

The sentry behind Du Mo said hello to Cheng Lei and went back, leaving Du Mo there by himself. Seeing that Cheng Lei didn't pay attention to him at all, his face was a little red, and he didn't know what to say.

Cheng Lei felt that he had almost dried him, so he turned around and said, "Mr. Du Mo, is there something wrong?" ”

Du Mo hurriedly replied, "Yes...... I was sent by His Excellency the Duke. Mr. Cheng, you also know that my family is in Yinta City, and our family is also a big family. If I follow you, I'm afraid it won't be easy for the Duke to confess......"

Cheng Lei's face softened a little: "I know you have your difficulties, so let's talk about it later." What are you here for today? ”

"That's right, Mr. Cheng's guards have won a big victory, and His Excellency the Duke has asked me to send some supplies and money, all of which are at the gate of the camp, and I ask you to send someone to count them."

Cheng Lei waved his hand: "There is no need to count, the more materials, the better, and let people move in later." Anything else? ”

Du Mo rubbed his hands and said with some embarrassment: "Your Excellency the Duke heard that you have captured some soldiers and horses of the other party, and it stands to reason that these horses will be handed over to His Excellency the Duke to deal with. But don't worry, the soldiers and horses will be converted into gold coins for you, you see......"

Cheng Lei had long expected this to happen: "Our mercenary guards are short of manpower, and you have also seen that I have sent people to train them, so I will not hand them over to His Excellency the Duke." As for the war horses, I'll keep half of them, and you can take the remaining half directly. I don't want money, but after a battle I have consumed a lot of ammunition, and you have to talk to the Duke and make me some more ammunition. ”

Du Du was embarrassed and said: "This ...... This is not in accordance with the rules, Mr. Cheng, all the captives of the mercenary guards should be handed over to the employer, this is ......"

Cheng Lei interrupted him impatiently: "I don't care if it's in line with the rules or not, I'm going to decide these people anyway." If Duke Dozan has any opinions, then please think about it, if it weren't for my hired guards to work hard outside the city, would he have gotten such a good situation now? ”

Du Mo opened his mouth and didn't say anything, so he could only go back to his life with some loss. As soon as Du Mo left, Zheng Bin came to Cheng Lei's side and patted him on the shoulder, meaning to let him dissipate his anger.

Cheng Lei was indeed angry with Duke Duozan, and after the battle, he still wanted to take away all the loot, this Duke Duozan's wishful thinking was simply too loud. If it weren't for the Lion King Squadron still counting on sharing some land and property after the war, Cheng Lei would want to turn against them now!

"Now you know what that Dozan guy is going to discuss with us, right?" Cheng Lei said with some hatred.

Zheng Bin nodded: "Absolutely not give it to them, no one will be able to ask for it, if you are really in a hurry, we will take down the silver tower and support a puppet to go up!" ”

"Okay, Lao Zheng, I didn't dare to think that it was so big, you actually thought of it here!" Cheng Lei was a little surprised that Zheng Bin could make such an abacus.

Zheng Bin's face was disdainful: "Lao Cheng, you are bold in small things, can you compare with my old Zheng in big things?" ”

Cheng Lei slapped him with a smile, and the two of them made a mess. The captives on the training ground looked at the two non-formless leaders and deputy leaders on the sidelines, and they all had a different feeling in their hearts.

"What people!" The soldiers at the gate of the Lion King squadron found a sneaky figure, quickly took him down, checked that there were no guns and ammunition on him, and escorted him into the camp.

"Report to the captain, capture a spy, please instruct!"

"Spies? Where did the spies come from? Cheng Lei looked at this guy wearing ordinary people's clothes with great interest.

"I ...... I'm looking for your leader, Leader Cheng. The man said in a trembling voice.

"Oh?" Cheng Lei was a little surprised: "Who are you, what are you looking for him?" ”

The man was still trembling: "I only said it when I saw Leader Cheng, otherwise I won't say anything if I am killed!" ”

Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin looked at each other and smiled, and the sentry shouted: "You open your eyes and take a closer look, this is our Cheng leader!" ”

"Huh?" The man's expression was a little incredulous and a little puzzled, the person in front of him looked quite ordinary, and there was no taste of the domineering of ordinary superiors at all. And Cheng Lei looks like the military uniform on his body is also very old, and it doesn't even look as bright as the sentry at the door.

"Don't worry, I'm Cheng Lei, no one in this camp dares to pretend to be me indiscriminately, say what's the matter with you?" Cheng Lei asked calmly.

The man wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said, "Leader Cheng, you have a lot of adults, don't blame the small ones for having no beads." The little one was sent by Lord Ligg ......"

"Lige? It's the former city governor of Silver Tower City, and now the leader of the rebels, right? Cheng Lei said while staring at the messenger carefully.

The messenger hurriedly replied, "Exactly, Lord Lige sent me...... It's going to ......," he said, looking at the sentry and Zheng Bin.

Cheng Lei waved his hand to let the sentry retreat, then pointed at Zheng Bin and said, "This is also the leader of our guards, if you have anything to say, you can say it here!" ”

The envoy showed a flattering smile to Zheng Bin and said, "Lord Lige said, I hope that Mr. Cheng can join forces with us to defeat Duozan together, and then the two sides will divide the Silver Tower City equally!" ”

Cheng Lei said with a smile: "That's all, no?" ”

The man was encouraged and continued: "Our Lord Baili said that he had a conflict with Mr. Cheng before, and asked Mr. Cheng not to care about those small things. We should also focus on the big picture, and when it happens, we will be the strongest allies! ”

Cheng Lei nodded while listening, and only after the man finished speaking did he say again: "Lord Lige drew me a big cake, didn't he let you bring something to show his sincerity?" ”

"Yes, yes! This is a Commonwealth Bank exchange note, with a face value of 1,000 gold coins, as Mr. Cheng's funds. The man hurriedly handed over the colorful banknote to Cheng Lei's hand.

"Alright then, Mr. Emissary, let me think about it. Lao Zheng, call War Eagle 1 and let him send this messenger! After speaking, Cheng Lei also glanced at Zheng Bin. Needless to say, the tacit understanding between the two of them was needless to say, Zheng Bin could guess what he wanted to do as soon as he saw Cheng Lei's expression, so he turned around and went to find Yin Kaicheng.
