"Huh?" Chu Lianyu was taken aback, he was a complete layman when it came to Shenwu, and after a pause, he asked, "How do you know?"

Lin Haotian shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's purely a feeling. After a pause, he said quietly: "Maybe it's because he doesn't have the nervous and excited emotions when he encounters a strong opponent in a fight!"

Emotions? Can this also be considered the reason? Chu Lianyu shook his head incomprehensibly, but since Lin Haotian said so, there must be a reason for him.

After returning to the camp, Chu Lianyu said to Lin Haotian: "My lord, I will arrange a few empty tents and take those sixteen people to live in the tents, and only live in the hotel, it seems that we are too uncourteous." ”

"Yes, it makes sense, arrange it well. ”

"Yes, sir!"

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, early in the morning, Chu Lianyu came to Lin Haotian again and went to the school military field to watch the next competition.

This time, Lin Haotian was lacking, so he shirked the matter, just explained to Chu Lianyu, and reported the results of today's competition to him.

Lin Haotian didn't want to go, and Chu Lianyu couldn't force it, so he agreed and turned to leave.

Today is a duel between Jin Cheng, Ling Hugao, Zhou Hai, Liu Xian, Fang Feng, Song Yu, Zhuo Pu, and Zhang Shun, they can enter the second round, and their strength is naturally superior, and today's competition is much more exciting than the day before.

After a whole day of competition, the final winners were Ling Hugao, Liu Xian, Fang Feng, and Zhang Shun.

Originally, the first three groups were carried out very quickly, and it only took half a day to complete the competition, but when it came to the competition between Zhang Shun and Zhou Hai, it became procrastinated again.

The two fought for fifty rounds, without a victory, and it was already noon at this time, and Chu Lianyu could only send an order for the two to suspend the competition. Eat lunch first and wait until the afternoon.

But in the afternoon, the two fought until nearly evening, and fought more than 300 rounds in the school military field. Zhang Shun also won by 'luck' again.

That night, Lin Haotian held a small dinner in the barracks, and invited all the four people who won today's competition, Ling Hugao, Liu Xian, Fang Feng, and Zhang Shun.

There were not many people at the banquet, except for Lin Haotian and the four winners, and then there was Chu Lianyu.

Lin Haotian sat in the middle, glanced at the four people sitting on both sides, smiled slightly, raised his wine glass, and said, "Ben Shuai has something to delay today." It is a pity that I was unable to watch the battle in person at the school military field, and the commander first wished the four strong men a success. ”

"Master Xie!" The four of them all raised their wine glasses and drank with Lin Haotian.

Lin Haotian put down the cup and said quietly: "In this competition, let you distinguish between high and low, the main thing is to let you show the demeanor of my golden hero, that is, the prestige of the country and the army." ”

None of the four knew how to answer. No one sat there speechless.

Seeing this, Chu Lianyu gently cleared his throat. Hint at the four, don't be silent.

The four of them understood what he meant, looked at each other, and then arched their hands and said, "Your Excellency is wise!"

Lin Haotian smiled indifferently and asked: "After the competition is over, you can stay in the army and serve! Now is the time when the country is in danger and urgently needs to be employed." I hope you and others can serve the country and be loyal to the king, I don't know what you think?"

Hearing this, some of the four of them were happy, and some were worried.

The happy ones are Liu Xian and Fang Feng. The two of them have long had the intention of joining the army to serve the country, and now that the adults have personally invited them, they have given enough face, and the two of them naturally accepted it with joy, and they were worried about Ling Hugao and Zhang Shun.

Ling Hu Gao was reluctant to join the army, and he never thought of joining the army, and although Zhang Shun did not reject joining the army, he had no confidence in his ability.

The first to speak was Ling Hugao, who arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the king's love, but for joining the army, forgive the villain for not being able to obey his fate." ”

Lin Haotian was curious about why Ling Hugao rejected the army, and he asked, "Your reason." ”

Linghu Gao said: "The villain is now the only son in the family, and his parents are old, the villain does not dare to stay away from his parents, and there are two brothers above the villain, but they both died on the battlefield three years ago, so the fox family has repaid the country's kindness, so the villain wants to stay at home and honor the two elders." ”

"So that's the case!" After hearing this, Lin Haotian felt a feeling in his heart, raised his head, sighed, and said: "The monarch is incompetent, killing the general; the general is incompetent, and there are piles of bones, and I don't know how many Jin Guoerlang who has suffered the same thing as you! ”

Seeing that Ling Hu Gao was about to speak, Lin Haotian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Ben Shuai doesn't force you, whether you go or stay, it's all up to your own will." After speaking, he turned his eyes, looked at Zhang Shun again, and asked with a smile: "Zhang Shun, you don't want to join the army?"

Zhang Shun hurriedly replied: "The villain is still shallow in knowledge and lacks ability, and I am afraid that serving in the army will kill the brothers in the army." ”

Lin Haotian nodded secretly, Zhang Shun was self-aware, and he said: "Ben Shuai has something to understand, I don't know if you can tell him." ”

"Ah, the adults are polite, the adults have something to say, and the villain knows everything. ”

"You haven't used your full strength in the past two days of competition, have you?" asked Lin Haotian Zhengse.

Liu Xian and Fang Feng on the side were shocked when they heard this, in their opinion, the weakest of the four of them belonged to Zhang Shun, and the two wins were all based on luck, and they never thought that he was deliberately hiding his strength.

Zhang Shun was stunned for a moment, and then leaned over and said: "The adult is wise, the villain really did not exert his full strength in the two competitions. ”

Unexpectedly, he admitted it so simply, Lin Haotian was happy and asked, "Why is this?"

"The villain is not deliberately hiding, but taking the opportunity to hone it. Zhang Shun Zhengse explained: "Although the villain has practiced martial arts since he was a child, he has never fought with others, and he has no experience in fighting against the enemy, so taking advantage of these two competitions, the villain wants to increase some more experience and skills in actual combat, and maybe there is a chance to stay in Zuihou and win the crown." ”

"Haha-" Lin Haotian looked up and smiled, and secretly said smartly, if it is really as Zhang Shun said, he has no experience in facing the enemy and does not understand the skills of the enemy, then it is the best choice to find some weaker opponents to hone first, and in the next competition, his opponent will become stronger and stronger, which is also more conducive to his growth.

Lin Haotian praised: "Witty, intelligent, well aware of your own strengths and shortcomings, don't care about the suspicion and contempt of others, only do what you think is right, Zhang Shun, you are very suitable to be a general in the army, stay!"

His praise undoubtedly gave Zhang Shun a lot of confidence, and also made him completely dispel the worries in his heart, he stood up, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, and said: "The villain thanks to the lord Longen!"

"Get up!" Lin Haotian was overjoyed, smiled and waved his hand, with Zhang Shun's martial arts and mind, he is not only a fierce general, but also a wise general, the most lacking in the current Jin army is a general like him, who can take Zhang Shun as his own, Lin Haotian is naturally very happy.

Afterwards, he looked at Liu Xian and Fang Feng and asked them if they were willing to stay in the army.

Liu and Fang had no objections, and left their seats to kowtow and thank Lin Haotian.

The four people, except for Ling Hugao, all expressed their willingness to stay in the army, be loyal to Lin Haotian, and serve the country.

Lin Haotian's mood was particularly good, at the banquet, he toasted to everyone again and again, and repeatedly said, 'Once you join the Jin Army, you will be brothers, and you will share weal and woe in the future, and share weal and woe', seeing that he is so approachable, the four of them are gradually no longer as restrained as at the beginning, let go of the amount of alcohol, and drink with Tang Yin.

After a banquet, the four of them had a much better impression of Lin Haotian, feeling that he did not have the slightest command frame, and he also called them brothers and sisters with civilian status, which I am afraid that even other low-level generals in the army could not do.

How did they know that Lin Haotian has always been pro-army, emphasizing military force and ignoring literature, and only in front of the officers and soldiers in the army will he show his most benevolent and kind side.

The next day, the joust continued.

This time the matchup is Ling Hugao and Fang Feng, Zhang Shun and Liu Xian.

In today's competition, Lin Haotian also came to watch the battle in person, and he also wanted to further understand the strength of the four of them. (To be continued......)
