Anyway, Yang Peng was playing with the old antique of the crossbow, and asked without raising his head: "Where did you get this thing?" And how many bows and arrows? Zhang Xiang scratched his head and said with a red face: "This is from a landlord, there are only three bows and arrows, and I don't know if I can hit it accurately." Yang Peng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you can start it or not, it won't take you long anyway." "Why? Won't the eldest brother allow us to use crossbows in the future? Zhang Xiang asked in amazement.

"Of course it's going to be a hand crossbow!" Yang Peng looked up into the distance and said, "I'm going to let you use real hand crossbows and bows and arrows, not this kind of!" With that, he threw the don't put the executioner crossbow to Zhang Xiang. Then he continued: "In this world of cannibalism, there are no weapons, only to be eaten by others!" "Yes! That's what I thought! Zhang Xiang nodded and said, "Why are Khitan dogs rampant?" Why did the big landlord Pu Jinyi behave recklessly? It's not because some of them have iron spears and bows and arrows! ”

When Yang Peng heard Zhang Xiang take the initiative to mention the big landlord Pu Jinyi, he understood in his heart that the two sides had found a common enemy, so he hurriedly asked why: "You also know Pu Jinyi?" "In April of the previous year, Pu Jinyi brought people to our area to recruit workers, saying that they were paid six taels of silver a month. He also said that he lived in a building, ate white flour buns, and had five days off every month. Zhang Xiang said hatefully: "How do you know that my brother and I worked hard for a year, and in the end we still owe the little foreman three dollars of silver!" ”

Yang Peng asked in a low voice, "Are these brothers all working under Pu Jinyi?" "We are brothers in a greenhouse." Zhang Xiang clenched his fists and said, "It's time too!" Four months ago, Mu Jinyi was going to marry the twelfth concubine, so let's go over and help carry things. While everyone was in a hurry, a dozen of us sneaked out. "Oh, yes!" Zhang Xiang suddenly shouted: "The twelfth concubine married by Pu Jinyi is in Cangzhou City. He opened a pawn shop there, called Yi Dang Xing, which was given to this concubine to take care of. I don't remember the exact address, but a few of us ran out of Xiaoximen in the first place, so it shouldn't be far away. ”

"What, worried?" Yang Peng asked with a smile: "Are you worried about being arrested again?" "It's false to say you're not worried." Zhang Xiang shook his head and said, "But big brother, do you think we will run into that guy?" "If you touch it, you will touch it, everyone is carrying a head on two shoulders, what are you afraid of?" Yang Peng smiled and said, "You have even done bandits, and you are still worried about this?" ”

"That's what Big Brother said!" Zhang Xiang's body was shocked, and he said loudly: "If you want to hang to the sky, you won't die for thousands of years!" If it really comes to that time, fight one is enough, and fight two Lao Tzu to earn! "This is my Yang Peng's good brother!" Yang Peng patted Zhang Xiang on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, our brother will do great things in the future, where can he die so easily?" ”

Let's talk about it all the way, and in a blink of an eye, the sun is in the west. Yang Peng heard the new news from Zhang Xiang's mouth, and had other thoughts in his heart. So he instructed Zhang Xiang to hurry forward to catch up with Cheng Shijie and let them find a place where they could camp in the wild at night, not an inn. Two hours later, Zhang Xiang came back to report that a cave had been found in front of him. The inside is relatively spacious, which can fully accommodate these people to rest.

Yang Peng nodded, asked Zhang Xiang to stay and wait for Zhang Yan and the others, and led the team to meet Cheng Shijie. Not long after walking forward, I saw Cheng Shijie standing on a mountain beam on the left side of the path and waving. Bai Shujie climbed to the mountain beam and saw that there was indeed a cave halfway up the mountain. Bai Shujie asked everyone to pack up the firewood and wait in the same place, and he himself dragged Cheng Shijie and Duan Zhixian into the dense forest to hunt. Duan Zhixian was really a hunter, and soon found traces of his prey. The three of them tracked for more than five miles, and finally Yang Peng fired three darts in unison and hit a roe deer of more than 20 catties.

"Big brother, your darts are really powerful, they can be called a must!" Cheng Shijie and Duan Zhixian saw Yang Peng fly out of his hand three plum blossom darts, and they all stabbed them on the top door of the roe deer, and they were completely stunned. "It's just a little trick to defend yourself, it's not a big deal." Yang Peng shook his head and said, "Let's go back quickly, don't make everyone wait for a long time." Cheng Shijie grabbed the prey and carried it on his shoulders, and the three of them quickly returned to the station. Naturally, it was not Yang Peng's turn to worry about these things such as picking up the prey, he was just carefully looking at the words and deeds of these eight people in the same place.

By the time the prey has its belly, it is completely dark. Liu Zhiliang packed up the firewood for the night, and then chatted around Yang Peng. "Brothers, be quiet, listen to me." Bai Shujie clapped his hands and said: "I have a question for everyone, what do you think of people like the big landlord Pu Jinyi?" "This kind of bastard specializes in helping the Khitans to harm our own people, and he is like a grandson in front of his master! The Khitan dog deserves to die, but Pujinyi is simply not human! Zhan Jinguo, who had been silent, was the first to shout: "My brother was beaten to death by his little foreman!" ”

Yin Mingde nodded and said, "Pu Jinyi recruited more than 700 people from us last time, and more than 400 died in less than a year. If Zhang Xiang hadn't escaped with his head, we might all have died! "Because everyone has suffered the big loss of Pujinyi, and with the opening cannon of the war Jinguo, the crowd became angry for a while. Later, everyone probably thought of the dead brothers and sisters, and they all shed tears.

"I'm the one who died once, just like everyone else! At that time, I had been thrown into a mass grave by the Khitan dogs and grass valley's men, and if it hadn't been for the master who happened to pass by to rescue me, I would have turned into a pile of bones long ago. Yang Peng said loudly: "Six years ago, my five uncles also died tragically under the knife of the Khitan dog!" ”

Speaking of this, Yang Peng stood up violently, waved his right fist and said: "The reason why I am alive is to seek revenge on the Khitan dog and those heinous landlords!" "Big brother, you can lead us to do it!" Zhang Xiang was the first to shout: "We all crawled out of the pile of dead people, and we can all be regarded as dying once." Now that you're alive, you've made a lot of money! ”

Cheng Shijie and Zhang Yan also stood up and shouted, "Yes, big brother, you will lead us to fuck us to death!" "Yes, it's done!" "If you don't take revenge, you're in vain!" "Good! Since the brothers are all in one heart and want to take revenge, then I can say it," Yang Peng glanced at everyone and said: "We must unite in the future, not only to avenge ourselves, but also to avenge those fellow villagers who died tragically!" Avenge the entire Great Song people who were persecuted by the Khitan dogs and landlords! ”

"To achieve this goal, it is not enough for us to be a few of us, and in the future, we will also absorb those brothers who are as bitter and bitter as us and swear to take revenge. Only in this way can we continue to grow our team and enhance our strength! "Nowadays, everyone is still bare-handed and untrained, so they still lack the ability to take revenge. Our main task next is to arm ourselves with weapons. Find someone to buy, we don't have that much money. Therefore, the only way is to grab! ”

"Those landlords, those Khitans, are all squeezing our hard-earned money. The silver and gold bars with blood on them were meant to belong to us coolies. Therefore, if we rob them in the future, we will take back what belongs to us! Of course, there is a possibility of death in such a fight. If any of the brothers are scared, it's too late to quit. ”

Everyone has already been forced to go to Liangshan, and naturally no one has withdrawn. Yang Peng nodded and said: "Well, from now on, I will train you as soldiers, because we will fight like soldiers in the future, only in this way can our actions be more lethal, and we can compete with those Khitan dogs and landlords!" The content of tonight's training is to stand in a military posture! ”

Yang Peng finished his speech and performed a standard military posture in front of everyone, so that everyone had a perceptual understanding. Then eight people lined up in a row, and according to the action essentials that Yang Peng had just demonstrated, all of them stood upright, and began the first step in the cultivation of soldiers. In the next four hours, the eight people were completely dizzy by Yang Peng's orders to stand upright, salute, straddle, take a break, and sit down on the spot. However, everyone is young, and the momentum of not admitting defeat is very strong. With the passage of time, he slowly became more presentable, and Yang Peng's heart was also angry with a sense of pride.

It wasn't until around the wee hours of the morning that Bai Shujie let everyone go into the cave to sleep. He stayed outside to keep a sentry and practice the various skills taught by his master. When everyone snored, he took out his crossbow and practiced aiming with both hands at the same time and pulling the trigger at the same time. He had only slept against the entrance of the cave for more than an hour when Dongfang began to turn white.

As soon as Dongfang began to turn red, Yang Peng came to his senses, which was the law of life that he had developed by his master's side. Then he shouted, "Get up!" "It took a long time to see eight people walking out sleepy-eyed, and Yang Peng's nose was almost crooked! When the eight people stood in line, they said loudly: "To tell you the truth, you have been killed by the enemy hundreds of times last night!" If you're all like this in the future, then don't say anything to me for revenge! ”

"Especially the squad leader and deputy captain, it is impossible to escape the blame! By following you, brothers are giving you their lives! To be like you is to take your brother's life as a child's play! "Do you feel safe?" Do you know that the Khitan dogs and those big and small landlords and foremen are looking for you everywhere? Do you know what happens when you get caught? ”

"In today's situation, this is the only time, not an example! Now, all of you, listen to my command: to the left - turn! Goal, summit, follow me for a run! It is said that Yang Peng reprimanded the eight brothers with their heads and faces, and ran out first. He made a preliminary estimate last night that the top of this mountain is not high, and it is about three kilometers back and forth. For these lads who have been through the trials and tribulations of the mines, this little distance should be no problem.

As expected, no matter how Yang Peng changed his speed on the way, the eight people were able to follow closely and did not fall behind. After returning to the original place, Yang Peng only said: "Follow me!" "I started doing push-ups. He did three hundred push-ups in one go, and then he stood up and began to correct the movements of the eight people.

The running up and down the mountain didn't hit these eight people, but I didn't expect that three hundred push-ups knocked down six people! Except for Cheng Shijie and Duan Zhixian, who had practiced martial arts, the others did not complete the task. Zhang Xiang finally insisted on 248, and then he couldn't do it anymore. The worst push-up is Liu Zhiliang, who lay down after 90.

Yang Peng asked everyone to do two push-ups, and after resting for five minutes, he began the second round of military posture training. This time it's turning, walking, and standing. At present, there is no condition for step-by-step training, so Yang Peng has no choice but to go through the basic content of the training in the future, so that everyone has an overall impression. At the end of the day, the morning training ends. Yang Peng divided the eight people into two groups according to their specific performance. The leader of the first group, Zhang Xiang, is Duan Zhixian, Zhang Yan, and Liu Zhiliang; The leader of the second group, Cheng Shijie, is Yin Mingde, Zhan Jinguo, and Zhou Dayong.

"Brothers, in the future, our actions will be arranged according to these two groups. I'm going to see who's the hero and who's the bale egg! Yang Peng sneered and said: "Just talking and not practicing, that's a mouthpiece." It was the mule and the horse, and we all pulled it out for a walk. All the losing groups will be punished with 500 push-ups! ”

"Push-ups are a very crucial basic exercise, and I hope you will pay attention to them. You know, you're all going to have your own guns in the future. If your arms don't have the corresponding strength, then how can you fight the Khitan? How do you fight face-to-face with your enemies? Our enemies are very strong, and if we can't win, we have to run, so we can't relax when we run! ”

After eating the dry food, Yang Peng asked the two team leaders to take the team members and follow him to trot. The group that fell behind, even if it loses a single event, will be punished at night. In this way, while walking and training, when there was a market town, Yang Peng found an inn to live in, so that everyone could eat and drink well and rest for two days. When there are no market towns, everyone camps in the wild. The subjects that should be trained have not been left behind.

In this way, it took more than 20 days to stop and go, and the eight people finally completed their first transformation. The military posture and movements have been uniform, and the tiger is vigorous. The style of the soldiers has also gradually manifested itself, and the mental outlook of the entire squad has undergone a fundamental change. In the evening of that day, the team came to the vicinity of a small market town called Zhujiatun, which was less than sixty miles away from Youzhou City.

In the small cross-courtyard chartered by the Nanshan Inn, after everyone had dinner in the evening, they carried out the last training of this round in the courtyard. There is only one content, which is the military physical boxing that Yang Peng taught everyone ten days ago. With Yang Peng's exemplary role, Cheng Shijie and Duan Zhixian also took out their own experience in martial arts training and explained it to everyone in detail. In this small team of nine people, the atmosphere of helping each other and learning from each other has finally been cultivated, and the team spirit has begun to sprout.

Through more than a month of working together, Yang Peng has a preliminary understanding of these eight people. Zhang Xiang is one meter tall and in his early eights. After more than a month of recuperation and training, he has basically recovered. Although this guy has never practiced martial arts, he has a round waist and a strong force. Duan Zhixian is of medium stature and usually doesn't talk much, but he is the best at using his brain. Maybe he's been hunting since he was a child, so he has the most ghost ideas and a smart energy.

Although Zhang Yan is Zhang Xiang's cousin, he is not at all like his cousin, and he stutters a little when he is nervous. However, he has the best temper, and his brothers usually joke about him, and they always laugh, and I don't see him when he is angry. Cheng Shijie was thoughtful, and acted vigorously, cleanly, and without dragging the mud and water. Zhan Jinguo is a serious person, always has a clear eye for doing things, and obeys orders and will not cross the thunder pool by half a step.

Yin Mingde and Zhou Dayong have become strong in the past month or so. However, these two guys are purely reckless men, and they roll up their sleeves when they are impulsive, completely reckless of the consequences. If it weren't for Yang Peng's absolute prestige along the way, he might have moved with passers-by a few times. Liu Zhiliang may have been on the counter since he was a child, he talks the most, and he is familiar with people. In addition, he is only 16 years old and the youngest, so everyone calls him "Xiaoshanxi" or "Liangzi".

He walked around Yang Peng when he had time, and he almost never left an inch later. The rattan box had always been in his hand, but he was most curious about the big knife in Yang Peng's hand, but unfortunately everyone had never touched this treasure knife. Yang Peng also likes Liu Zhiliang very much, and he has opened a small stove for him many times along the way, and the techniques of plum blossom darts have been taught. Watching Cheng Shijie lead everyone to practice military boxing, Yang Peng still felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, but he just didn't know how he could do so many things.

Needless to say, Cheng Shijie and Duan Zhixian have a foundation in martial arts, and they have long understood the essence of it. Unexpectedly, Yin Mingde and Zhou Dayong, two reckless men, turned out to be natural martial arts practitioners, and they were the ones who made the fastest progress. During this period of time, except for Yang Peng, Cheng Shijie and Duan Zhixian, the others were not the opponents of these two guys.

What makes everyone strange is that Yin Mingde and Zhou Dayong like to follow Liu Zhiliang the most, in addition to absolutely obeying Yang Peng. If Liu Zhiliang is Yang Peng's shadow, then these two reckless men are completely Liu Zhiliang's followers. Liu Zhiliang asked them to go east, then it would definitely not go west; Let them catch the dogs, and then they won't catch the chickens.

The so-called one thing descends one thing, and it is probably the same. Nothing was said all night. Early the next morning, the people got up and cleaned up. Youzhou is less than sixty miles away, and today is the day when everyone enters the city, and everyone has changed into clean clothes. When Yang Peng and the others were about to leave, the innkeeper ran in anxiously and shouted: "Everyone, you should quickly hide, Cha Linzi is here again, and he is almost on the street!" ”

Yang Peng didn't understand what was going on, and asked, "Cha Linzi? What's going on? "Oh, it's the leader team who searched for the laborers who ran from the mine, and by the way, arrested some people to go back!" The shopkeeper said anxiously: "Don't ask, it's too late if you don't run!" "Everyone, come with me and go up the back mountain!" Yang Peng grabbed his box, twisted the big knife and rushed out of the door and ran towards the back mountain. Cheng Shijie and others also immediately followed, and soon came to a small hill.

This is the tail of a mountain beam that connects the town to the back mountain, and you can enter the mountain by following this mountain beam. The trees here are not very large, but they are overgrown with weeds, just enough to see the town. Yang Peng looked at the surrounding terrain, which could be advanced or retreated, so he did not continue to advance, but ordered everyone to hide in the grass to observe the movements of the town.

After about a hot cup of tea, Bai Shujie really saw a few guys dressed in black rushing into the town. It seems that these guys should be familiar with this area, and when they pass by those shops, they still shout loudly from time to time, but unfortunately they are too far away to hear clearly.

These men in black didn't seem to be in a hurry, just hanging around the town. Zhang Xiang said softly to Yang Peng: "Big brother, it seems that they are really those little leaders. Did you come to us? Duan Zhixian said on the side: "You don't have a long brain, look at their idleness, it's just aimless wandering." It is said that these guys are usually very majestic, bullying men and women, and extortion are commonplace. I suspect they don't have any purpose, and they probably just want to take the opportunity to find those shops to fight the autumn breeze. ”

Yang Peng didn't answer, but stared at the movements of the black-clothed people. The expression on his face kept changing, because he was thinking a lot in this moment. He knew very well that the eight brothers around him had been training for a while, but training alone had no effect. To become a true warrior, you need to go through a very important hurdle. To put it bluntly, a real warrior must be able to kill without blinking! Don't look at Yang Peng's training brothers, he said the truth on his lips, in fact, if he really wanted him to kill, he really didn't dare to make up his mind for a while!

Because Yang Peng himself is a raw melon egg, he has never seen what it looks like to shoot an arrow on a person! He couldn't say what would become of a person who was killed with a bow and arrow. Because of this, Yang Peng's face turned red for a while and white for a while. In fact, the weather is not hot at all, and it is already very cool in the morning. In addition, the mountain wind blows, and it even makes people feel a little chilly. But the veins on his forehead were bruised, and beads of sweat the size of beans had appeared.

Because Yang Peng suddenly thought of a problem, that is, he is not alone now, and there are eight brothers by his side. Any decision he makes will inevitably affect his brother, and that's no joke! Once you decide to fight a guy, what if you have a bad guy and your brothers are killed by the enemy?

It wasn't until this time that Yang Peng discovered that it was really not easy to be a leader who spoke and counted! When he had brought his brothers to his side before, he had never thought about this issue so seriously.

If a soldier only goes to the battlefield, then shoots the first arrow, then kills the first enemy, and then personally carries down the wounded of the first comrade, then buries the body of the first comrade, and then cleans up the battlefield, then it is considered to be a real warrior, then it is not enough to become a commander!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
