Under the public heavy reward, coupled with the fact that the heads of all ethnic groups are willing to take advantage of the event to compare the high and low, and secretly add fuel to the fire, the important news of the "triathlon" selection competition spread far and wide and quickly spread throughout the Guiguan area.

As a result, a lively and extraordinary scene appeared - all cities, villages and towns, various mountains and ravines, and various cottage villages, and every day people marched to Guizhou City in groups. Some of them were ordered by the elders of the clan to win glory for the clan, some were angry with others, some came for the high bonus, and of course, some did not tell their families and secretly went down the mountain by themselves. Although there are many reasons for everyone to participate in the selection, there is only one final destination: the east gate of Guizhou City.

The number of people who participated in the selection best illustrated how lively the event was: on the first day, there were 600 people competing in the same field; The next day, the number increased dramatically to three thousand; On the third day, the number of people was even more terrifying, with as many as 6,000 applicants, and Lin Feng had no choice but to divide the competition on the third day into two batches.

In order to organize the selection competition, Lin Feng temporarily organized a leading group, with himself as the team leader, Wei San as the deputy leader, and Chen Fei's four brothers also participated, and then with a thousand Datang soldiers, the entire venue was urgently leveled and arranged on the afternoon of December 4.

The venue of the competition was selected in a spacious place outside the east gate of Guizhou, and the overall setting of the event was to carry a burden of 20 pounds to the east to Qinglongpi and then run back, swim across the Lishui two round-trips, and then hike along the route of the south side of the mountain to climb, and finally return to the recruitment office at the east gate of the city.

From the first day of the competition, Lin Feng became the most excited and happiest one on the scene! Seeing the young people of ethnic minorities who were actively participating in the selection at the scene, Lin Feng went up from time to time to point out the matters that should be paid attention to when some men wearing cumbersome national costumes running long distances.

Chen Fei and the other brothers didn't smile, they all looked at Lin Feng with tears in their eyes, when only a few of them lived in the past, Lin Feng didn't sew clothes for them!

Lin Fenghu didn't care about Wei San's ridicule, and still helped everywhere on the scene like an enthusiastic volunteer. He was originally a simple person in his bones, especially after a tense battle and a fierce debate, he enjoyed the simple, intense and lively atmosphere of the sports event very much, not to mention that there were so many ethnic minority women as beautiful as peacocks on the scene.

At this time, although it is already a cold winter season, the temperature in the Guizhou area is still above 10 degrees Celsius at noon, and the women who came to cheer and watch the whole scene turned the whole scene into a sea of colors and a grand event of costumes.

Men generally come to compete, so the clothes are relatively simple, mostly blue, blue, and black, dressed shortly, and generally wearing straw sandals; But these women put on all the costumes they wore during the New Year, and everyone showed their national costumes like proud peacocks. Over there, the Miao women are dressed in red, blue, yellow, white, and black, and the silver ornaments on their heads make a light and crisp sound; And those beautiful Maonan women are often dressed in blue, with beautiful hats on their heads, bracelets on their hands, and silver medals on their necks, which shine with charming light when they flash......

Soon, noon came, Lin Feng reluctantly took his eyes back from the beauties, and stepped forward to beat the drum of the game.

The drums thundered like thunder, the whistling sound was like a tide, and the scene immediately became jubilant, and the three-day selection competition officially began.

During this period, Lin Feng, who couldn't stay idle, still played his role as a "volunteer", going up to help sort out the burdens piled up on the bank of Lishui for a while, and running to the foot of the mountain to wave his arms to cheer for the players.

On the second day, Lin Feng even wanted to compete by himself, but was stopped by Wei San. Lin Feng, who was unwilling, immediately ordered the four brothers Chen Fei and Duan Rui to all participate in the competition incognito, and the final result made all the elite troops and Chu Tang soldiers who visited the scene speechless: Chen Fei, who had the best score among the four children, only ranked sixty-ninth in the competition of three thousand people!

Lin Feng watched the good seedlings suitable for special soldiers being selected, and in the past two days, he even walked, ate and even slept with a smile on his face, and the pride in his heart almost imitated Tang Taizong to look up to the sky and shouted, "All the elite soldiers in the world are in my place!" ”

Lin Feng's happy state of mind lasted until the afternoon of December 7, and after the second batch of competitions ended that day, Wei San came over with the final shortlist with a somewhat strange expression.

Lin Feng glanced at Wei San curiously, took the list, and looked at it carefully.

The list totaled eighty people, with forty each selected by special fighters and elite units. However, when looking at the list carefully, Lin Feng noticed something unusual, pointed to the three names in the names of the elite troops and asked, "Luo Feifeng, Zhang Hongling, Zhang Hongjing?" How does this look like a girl's name? ”

Wei San smiled bitterly: "The three of them are women!" They are all from the Gelao clan, and all women dressed as men participated in the competition, and the results were very good, and now they are at the assembly point with everyone. ”

Lin Feng was very curious, and immediately asked Wei San to invite them over.

When Wei San came over with three "men" with a thinner body, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, although the three of them were all wearing cyan collarless cardigans, brown trousers, and straw sandals, completely dressed as men, but their unusually delicate faces, slightly curved figures, long hair coiled, and perforations on their earlobes all proved that they were indeed dressed as women.

Lin Feng smiled and asked the three beauties to sit down, but the first dark-skinned woman spoke: "Lord Lin, you didn't say that girls were not allowed to participate before the competition, did you?" You don't want to pay now, do you? Mu Leng has won! ”

Most of the Gelao people call themselves "Mu Leng", that is, "Lingren". As early as the Jin Dynasty, there were records of "bureaucrats" in the literature. After the Tang and Song dynasties, "wingmen" and "servants" appeared more in historical books, and the name of "Mu Lao" did not exist until the Qing Dynasty.

"Ha Luha, no, no! Do you practice martial arts? Lin Feng asked rhetorically.

"I won't, Hongling and Hongjing sisters are both masters in our village!" Luo Fei raised his phoenix, and pointed at the two sisters behind him with a pair of slender fingers.

Zhang Hongling's fair face turned slightly red, and she said softly: "My father taught us martial arts since we were young and treated us as boys. ”

"Oh, do you really want to follow me into the army? When my soldiers are very hard and tired, and the future will be full of men! Lin Feng wanted to laugh a little when he thought about this, could he still set up a women's special forces team?

"Hmmm! We are not afraid! The three beauties nodded in unison, their faces full of determined determination.

"Good! Sure enough, the women don't let the eyebrows go! You're welcome, but I'm going to ask you one last question, you three sisters didn't sneak out of the house, did you? Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Ah, how do you know the way?" Luo Feifeng was taken aback, took a step back, and glanced at the Zhang sisters with uneasy eyes.

"Then we'll have to talk about it in advance! If your family comes to your door to stop you, you have to make sure to do their ideological work! Lin Feng laughed, and ordered Wei San to bring the three sisters back, and then rushed back to the Jiedu Embassy Mansion in Guizhou City with all the selected personnel to wait.

Subsequently, according to the results of the competition, Lin Feng rewarded the ethnic minority soldiers who were successfully selected as Datang soldiers on the spot, and then took Chen Fei and them back to the city.

The candidates who received the usual money were thunderous, pushing the atmosphere of the selection scene to another climax. What Lin Feng didn't know was that every year after that, the Guiguan area would spontaneously organize "triathlon" competitions at this time, and there was no age limit for men and women. This event has gradually turned into a grand event symbolizing the unity and friendship of ethnic minorities in the Guiguan area.

Lin Feng returned to the Jiedu Embassy Mansion and met eleven special soldiers, fifty elite troops, and eighty new recruits in an independent courtyard. As soon as they saw Lin Feng coming back, they consciously straightened up and looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng still continued his straightforward approach, pointed to the money plate that Chen Fei was holding, and said loudly: "I, Lin Mou, have never liked to force others, if anyone doesn't want to follow Lin Mou as a soldier, please take your reward and leave, Lin Mou will never stop him." ”

The people at the scene looked at each other, only a young man hesitated for a while before he walked out, looking at Lin Feng with some embarrassment.

Lin Feng smiled, personally gave the man ten yuan with his own hands, patted him on the shoulder, and sent him away.

Turning around and looking at the elites in front of him, Lin Feng was satisfied and happy, and called on everyone to sit down casually, and he told the detailed process of the special forces' decision to defeat Meizhou in one fell swoop and the sneak attack to seize Yiyang City, and everyone was frowning. These two battles have long been known to everyone, but there are many details in them that few people know.

After talking about the worst, Lin Feng's face was solemn, and he said solemnly: "How much credit you have, how much you have to pay!" The great achievements of the special forces are all piled up by the daily sweat and blood of the brothers! Therefore, I hope you will be mentally prepared, the special forces pay the most attention to fairness, first, everyone is equal in front of training, regardless of men and women, everything is judged by training results and actual achievements; Second, there is a connection between special forces, elite troops and general armies, and those who are one of the lower orders can be promoted by hard work, and if the performance of the higher ones is not good, then you will go down, and no one will be special! ”

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he looked at the people in front of him, and found that everyone's expressions had not changed significantly, and many of the newly selected people were eager to try, so they immediately nodded with satisfaction, waved their hands and ordered: "Give out rewards and change military uniforms!" ”

Getting up and walking out of the small courtyard, Lin Feng looked up at the sky that was already a little late, turned around and went to his temporary residence to get two bottles of good wine, and walked towards the small courtyard where Liu Renzhen lived.
