Xiao Lei's heart moved, he already knew that Xiao Yao had a meritorious role in escorting him on the Wanshou Festival, and he made an exception to seal the earl, and he also wanted to see how Xiao Yao's kung fu was.

"Fourth brother, are you interested in having a contest?"

Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Lei and smiled slightly: "Okay!" I haven't been to the barracks yet, so it's good to be able to meet the Xiao family army today. ”

Zhong Zibin likes to be lively the most, and because he has been in the military camp for a long time, he is very kind here.

"Good! Let's also compare three levels! Or archery, horseback riding, and ring races! Wow! Along the way, the bones in my body were rusty, and I had to move well. ”

On weekdays, Xiao Jiajun also often holds competitions to keep the soldiers in good condition, so they are naturally no strangers to this set.

Soon, in addition to garrisoning the city defense, the other ten squads had been assembled.

Xiao Lei first introduced the five princes to everyone, and Yan Shaoxun was also very pressed, and opened his mouth to encourage: "The soldiers of Shanhaiguan, you have worked hard!" ”

"With your hard work and bloody struggle, there is peace and peace in Dazhou, I am proud of you and proud of you! In order to comfort you, the emperor sent me and General Zhong to Liaodong to visit you, we will spend the New Year with you, and wish us prosperity in the Great Zhou! ”

The soldiers of Shanhaiguan have never heard such an approachable and easy-to-understand lecture?

"Prosperity! Prosperity! ”

The soldiers repeated these two words loudly, and they all felt both novelty and a little blood boiling, and the glory of the soldier's death for his confidant.

Gu Shinian, Xiao Yao, and Yan Changxin listened beside them, and they were also slightly moved.

Yan Shaoxun was really eloquent, Corporal Lixian, and he won the love of the soldiers at once. Xiao Lei also felt honored, and continued to introduce.

"This is our Great Zhou Wu champion, and he is also the general of the third rank of martial arts, and he is also the prince of the Qinguo Mansion, Zhong Zibin, General Zhong!"

Zhong Zibin gave a military salute with a smile and said loudly: "The emperor has clear rewards and punishments, and the Marquis of Weiyuan has a good way of governing the army, as long as everyone fights bravely, anyone can rise to the top and glorify their ancestors!" ”

The soldiers were even more jubilant, raising their arms and shouting: "Glory to the ancestors!" Glory to the ancestors! ”

Xiao Lei raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and pointed to Xiao Yao on the stage, introducing: "This is my fourth brother Xiao Yao, who is also the champion of Wen this year, and the earl of the emperor himself." ”

Xiao Yao smiled and took half a step forward, holding his hand and saluting.

Today's Xiao Yao is not the brocade robe he used to wear, and he is wearing a dark green suit. The hair is meticulously tied in a bun, tightly tied with a white jade crown, and the facial features are delicate and not girly.

The broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, long-legged and long boots, the figure is slender but not thin, heroic and particularly eye-catching.

Especially standing with Xiao Lei, who has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, is not like a brother, but like a father and son. It's really not better than not knowing, Xiao Yao is half a head taller than Xiao Lei, not to mention that his appearance is much higher.

Many of the soldiers below heard for the first time that Weiyuanhou also had a young son.

I heard that it was the champion and the earl again, and everyone talked about it.

Seeing this, Xiao Lei hurriedly shouted: "The five princes are here today, I want to see everyone's real skills, wait a minute, we will prepare for archery, horse riding, and ring competitions, and you will pick out one person in a team to prepare." ”

In this barracks, they have always been known for their true skills, so who is the most powerful is basically recognized, and everyone quickly selected ten people.

Yan Shaoxun knew that he was two pounds, and did not participate in the competition, but said with a smile: "Today, I and the second brother Gu and the fifth brother will be judged, Xiao Lei, what do you think?" ”

"That's naturally good, I don't know how the five princes want to arrange the competition?"

Xiao Lei didn't know what Xiao Yao and Zhong Zibin were good at, so he simply handed over the initiative to Yan Shaoxun.

Yan Shaoxun's eyes gestured, Xiao Yao and Zhong Zibin said one after another, just follow the usual rules in the barracks, and the two of them just participate like ordinary soldiers.

In this case, Yan Shaoxun opened his mouth loudly, and asked casually, "What's your name?" How do you compare these three items on weekdays? ”

That person must be a good player in the army, a general who wins Changsheng, and said without stage fright: "Back to the fifth prince, my name is Wang Zijie." Than archery is ten arrows for one person, a hundred steps away to draw the bow and shoot arrows, who shoots more hearts, who wins! ”

"Okay, what about horseback riding?"

Wang Zijie replied again: "Riding a horse is riding a horse and running!" Whoever runs ten laps will win the fastest. ”

This is simple and crude, but it is not only compared to skills, but also compared to endurance, Yan Shaoxun thinks it is good. Then he asked, "What about how do you compare in the ring?" ”

The soldiers below cheered, and many people laughed loudly: "Of course, there are a bunch of people standing in the ring, and whoever stands on it in the end will win!" ”

Yan Shaoxun thought for a while, afraid that Xiao Yao would suffer, and said: "This is not exciting enough, why don't we change to a new way of playing, two by two, how about the knockout round?" ”

Wang Zijie and they know how to eliminate, but they don't know what a two-by-two duel is, and they all joke about it.

Yan Shaoxun motioned to Xiao Lei to preside over the order, and then invited the ten people up, and explained with a smile: "It's very simple, you draw lots, the first and the last one fight, and so on, the loser is eliminated." Then repeat the order until there is only one person left! ”

Wang Zijie thought for a moment and smiled heartily: "This is good, fair!" ”

Yan Shaoxun also generously took out a piece of Haidong green jade pendant and said: "This is just a competition, I still add some color, whoever wins, I will give this jade pendant to whom!" ”

"Good! Good! Good! ”

The soldiers were thunderous with joy, and the jade pendant on the prince's body, which can not only sell silver, but also climb high branches, and can also be powerful in the army, so naturally they must go all out.

While everyone was laughing, Wei Yuanhou also came to Shanhaiguan.

As soon as the Marquis of Weiyuan, dressed in silver-white armor, appeared on horseback, the scene immediately fell silent, and he said in unison: "I've seen Master Hou!" ”

Wei Yuanhou walked up to the high platform, first asked Xiao Lei about the situation, then looked at Xiao Yao, who was looking at Yu Xuanang, and finally bowed his hand to Yan Shaoxun.

The voice was like Hong Zhong said: "Since the fifth prince has a colorful head, Ben Hou also has it!" Win the top three, upgrade to one level, and double the salary! ”

Such a reward is naturally more real for the soldiers of Shanhaiguan, and the atmosphere of the scene is even hotter for a while, and the selected soldiers are a little ready to move.

Wei Yuanhou looked at the ten people selected, as well as Xiao Yao and Zhong Zibin, who participated in the competition, turned his head and asked, "What about Xiao Yong?" ”

Yan Lin replied: "Back to the Hou Ye, Xiao Yong returned to Shencheng." ”

Marquis Wei Yuan originally wanted Xiao Yong to also participate and show his face in front of the five princes, but since he returned to Shenzhou, there would be a chance in the future.

"Okay, let's get started. Attention teams, go to the shooting range first, and stand in accordance with the usual training position! ”

Soon, the soldiers lined up in an orderly manner, quickly stood around the shooting range, and then silently waited for Wei Yuanhou to review.
