I only hope that this thousand taels are not spent in vain, after all, it is my private money. Although I say that I have a shop in Jufu, the money in the shop is fixed to support the guards and beggars. It cannot be used until it is absolutely necessary.

When I got out of the city, I took the two of them to the cottage, and I came out for a day. The three of them rode fast horses all the way, so they relaxed their vigilance. At this moment, the eight masked men who were ambushed in the grass saw Wei Feng and the others from a distance. The leader made a gesture.

Just as the three of us were hurrying, several masked men suddenly sprang out. And he came and slashed with a sword, and did not ask questions. I dismounted and dodged the oncoming slash, then turned and snatched the knife from his hand. Just as he was about to ask, five or six knives slashed at him again. doesn't give you a chance to speak at all, but Ma Huayun and Chunhong are ignored.

This saved me a lot of heart, and the other party was completely coming for me. And it was a trick to take my life, after a lazy donkey rolled and dodged a few people. I thought that I couldn't fight like this anymore, so I could only make a killing move. Then he stood still and tried to keep his mind at peace, looking at the leader's heart. The thief captures the king first, and one dodges a few knives sideways. and stabbed the leader.

When the man saw it, he secretly said in his heart. It was really not worth taking his life for such a small amount of money, and then he ordered to "withdraw". A few people came and went quickly, and one of them hidden in the shadows scolded, "These few wastes have wasted this great opportunity."

It wasn't until a few people left that I noticed that my back hurt badly, and I didn't know who had stabbed me. was helped back to the cottage by the two. As soon as Hong Zhentian heard that I was back, he hurriedly ran out to discuss with me whether or not to continue the conscription. Seeing that I was being helped by the two of them, I hurriedly came over and asked, "Brother Wei, what's wrong with the injury at this time?"

Ma Huayun told the story of meeting a few masked people on the road, and Hong Zhentian said after hearing it, "If you dare to make trouble on my territory, I will definitely find out about this matter." But after this incident, Brother Guard, you must bring a few more people when you go out. You said in case something happens to you......"

I nodded and asked, "I'm fine, how is the training of the recruits?" Hong Zhentian looked at the injury on my back again, and said, "Fortunately, it is only a skin injury, and the training of that group of recruits is okay." It's just that some people came here for the purpose of eating and drinking, and these people have been expelled by me. After all, it is a time to raise soldiers for a thousand days. “

After hearing this, I said, "Recruits still have to be recruited, and you don't have to worry about money and salaries." The man next to me will be the military advisor of my guard. Wait for Brother Lao Hong to help take him around to see how he is familiar with the environment here, and by the way, arrange a place for the two of them to live, and then announce his identity. so as not to be able to convince the public in the future. Brother, I still have wounds, so I won't be with you. “

After returning to the room, I saw Qin Fang wearing the red dress I bought that day. The ticket dressed up in jewelry is pretty and shiny and helping me clean up the house, to say my house. Actually, it's not very messy, it's just that I have a habit of putting things indiscriminately.

I stood against the threshold and watched her clean the room, and after a while she nodded in satisfaction. Looking back, I was standing outside the door, and said embarrassedly, "Brother Wei, you, are you back?" I nodded and walked in.

As soon as she saw the wound on my back, she hurriedly asked what was going on, and I smiled and said, "It's okay, this little injury is nothing." She walked over to the bed and found the bottle of gold, which I didn't even know existed in my room.

Then say "Get down". I honestly lay on the bed, feeling that this medicine was more painful than a knife slash on it. I was about to get up and say "I'm fine, you don't have to worry". She just held me down and said, "No, you have to rest."

And then he kept staring at me like he was going to run away. I asked, "Do you like the things I gave you yesterday?" Qin Fang nodded, "Well, no one has ever given me anything since I was a child." After a while, he drew another basin of water, and wrung out the cloth with two small hands. Wash the things around the wound for me. News of my assassination soon spread through the cottages.

So some people said that I was seriously injured and couldn't do anything, which made people panic now. I don't know who passed it on. Under pressure and helplessness, I could only get up and go to the barracks, and then walked around the cottage to stabilize the morale of the army.

To prevent someone from taking advantage of this assassination incident to make trouble, Ma Huayun began to train the recruit formation as soon as he took office. He got along with Hong Zhentian quite well. For a while, I had nothing to do, and everyone had something to do, but I didn't have it myself.

It's tiring to do, and it's boring to have nothing to do. So in addition to sleeping honestly at night, the rest of the time is to find Qin Fang to fly a kite and chat or something.

In the blink of an eye, the ten-day deadline agreed with Hong Zhentian was reached, and I arrived at the training ground early in the morning. Standing on the stage, he shouted "assemble". So more than 100 guards stood up as fast as they could. Li Jin stood at the front. I asked, "Do you know what day it is?" and Li Jin replied, "General Hui, today is the day of the competition."

I nodded, "Yes, it's the day of the game. It's the day to test the results of your training, and although it's a little short, they train for the same time as you. I won't say anything superfluous. It's up to you to choose who you choose."

waited until Hong Zhentian came to the training ground with his own men and horses, and also lined up. Then he walked over and asked, "Are you okay?" I gave him a blank look and said, "The battle hasn't been fought yet, so as the commander of the first army, can I surrender directly?" “

Then Li Jin selected nine people, plus himself for a total of ten. And on Hong Zhentian's side, Qian Qi also selected nine people to be listed. I took a look at the money, and it was not bad. A bit of a military temperament. Hong Zhentian took out an incense stick, "In the first game, the rules are very simple. Ten men on each side, and the one who can stand after the incense is burned wins."

Then he said, "Except that you can't take people's lives, do everything in your power to defeat each other." It's as simple as that." I feel like there's no difference between this and a group fight, but the rules are also negotiated between the two of us. After the incense was lit, dozens of people got together, and after this one knocked that one down. The one was kicked to the ground by the man next to him.

Hong Zhentian watched it with relish, and kept shouting on the stage, "Hit him, beat him." "It's like you're in the war. I watched as the incense was almost half burned, and the two teams were almost running out of strength, and their movements slowed down a lot.

Until the incense was burned, except for Li Jin, who was supported by two people. There was only money left, and one person stood there leaning against each other, and both sides were beaten to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen. Especially the eyes of the two. I couldn't see who kicked it in the ass, and then I announced that the first game was "Wei Jun won".

Li Jin only fell down after hearing the voice, and this melee was completely a fight for physical strength. Hong Zhentian lost the first game, and seemed to be very unhappy in his heart and shouted, "Let's take a rest first, and start the second archery competition in half an hour."

It wasn't until half an hour later that the people on both sides staggered to their feet. I doubt they'll be able to pull the bowstring, as I expected. Except for a few people on both sides who were lucky enough to shoot their arrows at the target, the other people's arrows didn't even touch the target......

After counting the arrows, I found that there was one more on Hong Zhentian's side. So this second game was naturally won by him, and he rested for half an hour. At this time, when the physical strength is almost recovered, the third game of the competition begins.

The third game is a simpler "wrist wrenching...... Since the strength of the two sides is equal, the third game is tied. When Hong Zhentian was about to announce a draw, Li Jin stood up and asked, "I have heard that Brother Qianqi's marksmanship is good, I wonder if I can teach him today?"

The draw was acceptable to me and Hong Zhentian, Hong Zhentian glanced at it and asked in a low voice, "What tricks are you kid playing?" I said with an innocent face, "I don't know, but I just came back yesterday, and I don't know anything about this." If he wants to compare, let him compare."

Hong Zhentian said: "Then this extra game doesn't count." I nodded and said, "Well, I'll give them a tael each." Then the reward was divided. After each of the two teams took a tael of silver, they were also very happy in their hearts.

But hearing Li Jin's challenge, Qian Qi looked up at Hong Zhentian. Hong Zhentian said, "Let's compare, I just want to see how the two of you are doing." After that, I had two wooden guns fetched.

After all, it was safer this way, and the two of them took the guns and stood separately. At this time, the guards and the beggars all looked at each other with wide eyes, and they also wanted to know which of the two was more powerful.

Li Jin raised his hand and made a gesture of please, Qian Qi looked at it, didn't he underestimate himself. raised the gun and stabbed, Li Jin blocked it with a gun. The two took a turn and made a tentative attack. After each other has a bottom in their hearts, they let go of the attack.

The two split, stab, pick. blocked nearly twenty rounds, and secretly marveled at the opponent's marksmanship. However, the amazement returned to the amazement, but the shot was merciless. It's as if the two of them have a grudge against their father.

I can't imagine if this was a real gun and hurt one of them. Just as we watched with bated breath, the tide of battle suddenly turned. The two who were originally tied turned into Li Jin only defending and not attacking.

It seems that he was suppressed by the other party. When I saw it, I immediately felt that it was not good, and then Li Jin suddenly stumbled on the wall and stuck it on the ground. Of course, Qian Qi will not let go of such a good opportunity, and he will stab with a gun.

Just when we thought the battle was about to end, Li Jin directly stabbed the tip of the rifle sideways in front of Qian Qi's throat at a very fast speed. I didn't even see how the shot came out.
