While they were resting, the 400 people who had failed the morning exercise were standing in the noon sun listening to the training.
Min Qiu asked everyone to stand up, coughed twice, looked at Xue Ziqin who was standing with his back to the distance, and was about to speak when Xue Ziqin suddenly turned around, glanced coldly at the people in the first row, and said, "I want you guys in the morning. how?"
The recruits rustled for a long time and no one came back. Min Qiu has been with Xue Ziqin for many years. When Xue Ziqin was not a general, Min Qiu was his man. He followed Xue Ziqin all the way to death and sat in the position of lieutenant general. Facing this situation, he led the recruits with experience. They answered: "Running around the camp twenty laps before noon, one person will be punished for not showing up to the whole team."
The recruits seemed to have grasped the life-saving straw, and followed Min Qiu to repeat Min Qiu's words unevenly.
Xue Ziqin was expressionless, and continued: "In war, the most important thing is to be able to run, even if you can't run, you will only die in battle. Now that you are punished, are you satisfied?"
No one spoke, or no one dared to speak.
Xue Ziqin asked again.
After another long silence, someone finally said, "I don't agree!"
"Who? Stand up for me."
The man dawdled again before standing out from the crowd. He was in his early twenties, with dark skin, but he was very energetic. It seemed that the morning lap did not exhaust his physical strength.
"What's your name?" Xue Ziqin asked.
Min Qiu didn't know what Xue Ziqin meant by the side. Xue Ziqin had always been fickle, turning his face like he was turning a book. Now this young man is standing beside the crowd, alone, the expression on his face that he is not afraid, it is fake, but he still stands up, which can also prove that he has a little courage.
"I, my name is Cao Zhong."
"What are you doing?"
"Farming!"
"Why don't you agree?"
Xue Ziqin asked him a question and answered, but his expression relaxed a little, looking at Cao Zhong with a half-smile. A person's expression can explain a lot of things, Cao Zhong relaxed when he saw this, looked at Xue Ziqin with his eyes fixed, and replied seriously: "I ran very fast in the morning, not to mention twenty laps, forty laps I will I can also finish the run, but just because a teammate didn’t finish the run, I will be punished, I don’t accept it!”
"Well said, courageous, and frank, not bad." Xue Ziqin praised him a few words and walked up to him. Cao Zhong didn't expect to be praised by Xue Ziqin, and smirked a little honestly. Xue Ziqin then asked, "Then who are your teammates who haven't finished running? Stand up."
A little boy slowly walked out from the back of the team, looked timidly at Xue Ziqin, then looked at Cao Zhong, looking very scared: "Yes... it's me."
"what's your name?"
"My name is Luo Yansheng..."
"What are you doing?"
"Uh... I don't know anything..."
"How old are you?"
Xue Ziqin stepped forward, and he could clearly see that he was still a child, so he asked.
Luo Yansheng lowered his head and replied, "Ten, fourteen."
"Fourteen years old, still a teenager, it's normal to run without physical strength." Xue Ziqin said. Hearing this, Luo Yansheng raised his head and looked at Xue Ziqin. I didn't expect General Xue to be such a reasonable person, and he could finally let go of his dangling heart. He really couldn't finish the twenty laps in the morning, and he has been frightened since then.
When everyone saw this, most of them, like Luo Yansheng, were relieved.
Unexpectedly, Xue Ziqin suddenly reversed his attitude and shouted loudly, "This is the reason why you can't finish running?!"
No one dared to speak, including Min Qiu.
"Cao Zhong, isn't it? I don't know why you have to be punished jointly and severally after running, right? When you go to the battlefield, are you able to fight ten or capture the opponent's generals alive? Who the hell can beat an army alone, you can immediately Going to rest, I will also report to the court, such talents are only a waste under my command, Xue Ziqin.”
Cao Zhong was dissatisfied and retorted in a low voice: "There must be more people than people who are less powerful..."
"Heh, the crowd is naturally powerful. Even a three-year-old knows this truth. If that's the case, your teammate can't run, why don't you help him? You're more than enough to run forty laps?"
"I..." Cao Zhong glanced at Luo Yansheng. It was obvious that they were just forming a temporary team, and they didn't have too much friendship. It could also be seen that a strong and powerful man like Cao Zhong looked down on Luo Yansheng. Small boy.
"Why do you have to be punished jointly and severally? Do you understand now?" Xue Ziqin looked at everyone, "On the battlefield, your back is handed over to your teammates. If you can't care for and help your teammates, Why do you think that others will guard your back? This general knows that most of you are a group of five made up temporarily, but on the battlefield, you never ask the reason, nor your background, but only the victory or defeat. corpses in the wilderness."
Xue Ziqin's remarks were sonorous and powerful, and everyone present did not dare to express their anger, but it was undeniable that this General Xue's words were reasonable.
"Luo Yansheng, then do you know why you were punished?" Xue Ziqin turned to look at the little boy and asked.
Luo Yansheng hesitated for a moment, and then answered with promise: "I... I dragged everyone down, no, I didn't complete the task set by the general... "
"Yes, General Ben is glad that you understand where you are wrong." Xue Ziqin gave him a rare smile. With this smile, Luo Yansheng looked a little stunned. Xue Ziqin was born beautiful and even looks a little bit
Feminine, with a pair of phoenix eyes that are particularly charming, but no one would think that Xue Ziqin is easy to provoke, let alone think that he is a sissy, I am afraid that no one here is more manly than Xue Ziqin.
"Everything you do, in the future, may affect the situation of the war, and every mistake may kill your comrades in arms now, and your relatives far away, don't think that people are born It is necessary to be good at and not good at it, and use this as an excuse to excuse yourself. Each of you, who came to be a soldier and took the salaries of the court, is not your own life. As long as you are under the command of this general for one day, you can’t do it. I have to do it for this general! Do you understand?!"
"Understood!" This time it was no longer a scattered voice. Xue Ziqin's remarks did not have any good words, but they penetrated into the hearts of everyone present, especially Luo Yansheng and He who were called out. Cao Zhong. This general, what can attract people, I am afraid that it is not only good-looking.
"Very good." Xue Ziqin nodded with satisfaction, "Forget it this time, next time I fail to meet this general's requirements, there will be a heavy punishment."
"Yes!!!"
"Min Qiu, in half an hour, notify all recruits to gather and continue training."
"Yes."
After speaking, Xue Ziqin walked to his tent without looking back. Min Qiu vaguely heard him humming as he walked, "Would you like to go and eat two deer..."
In the afternoon, not long after Wei Lin fell asleep, he was called up by Jiang Ye and said that he was going to gather. He reached out and scratched the itchy spot on his back, and accidentally scratched the wound from yesterday: "Dry, scratched."
"Fool." Jiang also cursed.
Although everyone went to gather together, the atmosphere in the tent was obviously a lot weirder—Jia Da, Jia Er and Lin Yu only talked to Wei Lin. Except for Wei Lin, no one paid any attention to Jiang Ye, and didn't even look at him. Jiang Ye is very obtuse about this emotional change between people. At home, he is the eldest young master, his younger brother, and a willful and playful master. He is almost never at home, so no one will ever give him a look. , even if the old man spoke to him in a pleasant manner. Now everyone is deliberately ignoring Jiang, but he didn't notice it, but Wei Lin, who had been together for a long time, obviously felt the atmosphere was weird, but he didn't know how to ask, so he could only put it in his heart and think about it. I wonder if I should break it one by one when I have nothing to do at night.
The meeting point is three miles outside the camp. Not all the recruits came. Wei Lin went to inquire with Min Qiu. Only three hundred people were here, and the others were divided into two groups to do other things. Wei Lin looked at the familiar scene in front of him, and he still remembered the lessons of blood and tears last night. He said to Jiang Ye quietly, "Well, didn't you ask me about the injury on my back, you'll know right away."
Jiang looked at him incomprehensibly, Wei Lin didn't say more, just pointed at the weird equipment in front of him with his chin.
In the absence of Xue Ziqin, Min Qiu was in charge of the training. Sure enough, in the morning, Xue Ziqin's whip played a big role. No one was late. After arriving, they stood neatly according to the squad. After all, everyone saw Xue Ziqin's violent temper, and no one wanted the rough whip on himself.
"You know, General Xue is very handsome." Wei Lin said to Jiang Ye.
Jiang also nodded: "Well, it's okay."
"Isn't the side hair on his left quite long, covering his profile."
"Well, what?"
"I saw last night that General Xue's covered area has two wounds." Wei Lin's expression was mysterious, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, "Crossed, one is at an angle. the cross."
"So what?" Jiang was also a little impatient, "I have no interest in General Xue's appearance."
"I was wondering if you would break down if you were broken."
"No, I only think that a person like you should be cut with a knife."
"cut."
"childish."
The argument between the two seemed to be endless, but it was interrupted by Min Qiu's voice.
"All the recruits obey the order and pass these obstacles according to the regulations in five-man squads, two teams at a time. I will let them demonstrate it to you first." Min Qiu raised his hand to signal, and the five veterans next to him immediately stepped forward. , standing at the starting point.
Jiang had never seen these settings in front of him. There were fences, fishing nets, and a two-person boulder standing in the middle. It's not just Jiang Ye, most people have never seen it, but Wei Lin has seen it. Not only has he seen it, he was tortured here last night.
"Start." Min Qiu gave an order. The veterans quickly passed these obstacles in various wonderful postures. The speed was very fast. When they reached the towering boulder, the veterans were well-trained. Go up, and then turn around and pull the two people who are stepping up, and the five of them turn over the boulder together, only a few breaths of effort.
The demonstration was over soon. Wei Lin and the others were placed in the fifth group. Each group only had time for one stick of incense, and they had to pass the obstacles correctly and make a round trip. While waiting here, Jiang Ye was watching the movements of the others seriously. Compared with the veteran, the gap is not a little bit, and the time spent on the boulder alone is probably more than a stick of incense. Jiang also turned his head and wanted to talk to Wei Lin about this, but when he turned his face, he saw that Wei Lin was chatting with the people in the next group, and it was all commonplace - he sometimes even wondered if there was a foursome living in Wei Lin's body. The soul of a ten-year-old woman.
Jia Da and Jia Er also chatted with him. A few people had gathered together happily, and even invited each other to go for a walk together at night. Lin Zu looked like a clear stream here, and he and Jiang were the same, carefully observing the already in front of him. Training comrades, observing those settings.
Jiang also wanted to chat with Lin Zuo, so he whispered, "What do you think?"
Lin Zuo didn't turn his head back. He looked at it and said, "It's amazing, these..." He obviously still had something to say, and when he turned his face and saw that the speaker was Jiang Ye, he closed his mouth abruptly.
"Huh? What about these?"
"Nothing..." Lin Zu hurriedly responded to him and stopped talking.
Jiang is not someone who makes fun of himself. After feeling that the other party doesn't want to pay attention to him, he stopped talking.
