This group of children from aristocratic families have been here for two months, and there has not been a single meal of meat in the kitchen. The military camps are short of military supplies, and it is good to be able to eat steamed buns and porridge. In the camps with poor conditions, even eating sweet potatoes is not always available, let alone meat. Of course, they have eaten meat, but they have to go to the town to eat meat. They are on duty during the day and are exhausted at night. Who goes? When it is their turn to be on duty at night, they are also exhausted during the day, so even if they can go, they only go occasionally.
So if Qin Fang could deliver meat to them every meal, they would naturally be happy.
However, they are not fools.
The whole military camp knew that Qin Fang was able to become a captain because of his superior martial arts. Of course, superior martial arts meant strength. Years ago, the barbarians held the young master hostage, and Captain Qin used psychological tactics to save him. This was also talked about in the military camp, so everyone recognized Captain Qin's strength.
The nobles were not simple-minded. They couldn't even beat Han Zhen, so how could they beat Qin Fang? Isn't eating meat every day just bullshit
If Yang Haiyan knew, she might have said that it was normal that they couldn't beat Han Zhen, and maybe they could beat Qin Fang with luck. Han Zhen was naturally capable, and the hero's luck couldn't be ignored. Otherwise, the barbarian and the young master had three roads to choose from when they fled the county, so why did they choose the road guarded by Han Zhen? Isn't this just suicide
Qin Fang said: "A real man's word is his bond. If you can win, I will treat you to meat for a month. Can I bluff you?"
A young man from an aristocratic family said, "Qin Qianfu, you are a man of your word, but you can't do this. We all know that you are good at martial arts, and we are definitely no match for you. So your promise to eat meat every day for a month is just a lie."
Qin Fang narrowed his eyes: "So what do you want? All three of you come together? Three against one?"
This young man from aristocratic family is called Lin Feng. He did have this intention, but since Qin Fang asked him directly, he couldn't admit it shamelessly.
Qin Fang sneered: "Let you take turns. Among the three of you, if one of you can beat me, I will treat all three of you." Originally, he also planned to let them fight in turns.
Wei Wu's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Qin Fang said: "Seriously, you go first." He pointed at Lin Feng who spoke first.
More than a thousand people made way for a circle, and Qin Fang and Lin Feng fought inside. Not every child from the noble families in the capital had practiced martial arts. The noble families in the capital valued literature over martial arts, so they rarely let their children go down the path of martial arts. However, practicing martial arts is good for fitness, so many people have practiced martial arts. But they practiced martial arts purely to strengthen their bodies, but they were not good at it, which was different from Qin Fang who practiced martial arts with his life at stake. For Qin Fang, kung fu is life. If kung fu is good, life can be long. Otherwise, if kung fu is not good, he will be sacrificed at any time on the battlefield.
Lin Feng walked in the circle, he knew that he was no match for Qin Fang, so he said to the other two companions: "I will wear down Qin Qianfu first, the rest is up to you." He was talking about wearing down Qin Qianfu's physical strength, he felt that he could still consume some of Qin Fang's physical strength.
In fact, he was wrong.
When they competed with Han Zhen, they were able to wear down Han Zhen's physical strength, but Han Zhen and Qin Fang were of different types. Han Zhen's skills were better in agility, while Qin Fang was tall and slender. He was not as agile as Han Zhen, but he was strong. It was difficult for Lin Feng to consume his physical strength.
For example, when Lin Feng rushed over, Qin Fang was too lazy to move and collided with him. Lin Feng was knocked back a few steps and his bones ached. Qin Qianfu was so strong, but his body must be made of iron, right? It was so hard.
Lin Feng steadied himself.
Wei Wu shouted: "Lin Feng, can you do this?"
A man cannot be asked if he is okay. Lin Feng heard this and shouted, "Shut up and just watch."
So, Wei Wu watched how Lin Feng was knocked out, again and again.
This competition is a bit similar to wrestling.
Lin Feng knew that brute force wouldn't work, so he decided to rely on his ingenuity. When he was fighting Han Zhen, he wanted to rely on his ingenuity, but it didn't work. So he wanted to rely on brute force right from the start, but it was wrong again.
Lin Feng didn't want to get close to Qin Fang's body, so he ran quickly, ready to attack from behind. But at the close range of the attack, Qin Fang dodged and kicked Lin Feng out.
Lin Feng lay on the ground, his chest aching slightly. Fortunately, Qin Qianfu didn't kick him below, otherwise his testicles would be broken. Lin Feng lay on the ground and couldn't get up.
Yang Baifu said: "Qin Qianfu's body seems to be stronger than before."
Han Zhen nodded: "Indeed."
Qin Fangxin thought, his wife often let him take medicinal baths, but that was not in vain, you have to know that it cost a lot of money.
The next young man from aristocratic family took the lead in less than ten moves.
Among the three, Wei Wu's skills were the best, but seeing what happened to the first two partners, Wei Wu knew he had no chance. So he didn't come here to win, he just wanted to practice.
However, Wei Wu's thoughts were too good. He came here to practice, and it was not clear who was practicing with whom.
For example, when Wei Wu was knocked out by Qin Fang and was about to fall to the ground, Qin Fang pulled him back and said, "Be careful not to knock your teeth."
For example, when Wei Wu was thrown over Qin Fang's shoulder and was about to lie on the ground, Qin Fang grabbed his waist and said, "You are too weak and your chassis is unstable."
Wei Wu felt miserable. Why didn't Qin Qianfu just let him lie down? Couldn't he just admit defeat? The eighteen-year-old Wei Wu felt miserable.
Lü Baifu: "Why do I feel like our captain is deliberately trying to torment Wei Wu?"
Yang Baifu: “I think so too.”
Han Zhen thought, it's not just you who think so, but everyone thinks so. So Han Zhen called a soldier and asked, "Did Wei Wu do something to offend Qin Qianfu?"
The soldier was one of the gossipers just now. When he heard Han Zhen's question, he honestly said, "Wei Wu just told everyone that Qin Qianfu is a rough man and is not worthy of Mrs. Qin."
Han Zhen: “…” Is this kid looking for death
Wei Wu felt like he was being torn into pieces, and his whole body was in pain. He began to beg for mercy: "Qin Qianfu, I can't beat you, I give up."
Qin Fang said coldly: "If you are a man, you can't admit defeat easily. If you are a soldier of Qi, you can't admit defeat easily. Once you are on the battlefield, admitting defeat is desertion."
Wei Wu thought that he didn't even want to admit that he was a man now.
Qin Fang: "Continue."
Wei Wu panted, "Qin Qianfu, you dealt with Lin Feng and the others so decisively, but you kept dragging your feet when dealing with me. Did I offend you in some way? If I did, please forgive me this time for Mrs. Qin's sake."
It would have been better if Wei Wu didn't mention Mrs. Qin, but this time he stirred up a hornet's nest.
Qin Fang's eyes became even colder. "On the battlefield, can you use a woman to beg for mercy? Besides, this is a military camp, is this the place for you to gossip with a woman? As a man, why don't you do your job properly? Instead, you chat with some people like women in the market. Is this reasonable? Even the prostitutes in the brothels in the county town don't have such a big mouth as you."
Wei Wu: “…”
Qin Fang narrowed his eyes and grabbed Wei Wu by the collar: "Besides, Yanyan is my wife, what does it have to do with you? Are you going to ruin her reputation for her sake? It's better to humiliate a person than a wife and daughter."
Wei Wu was startled. Qin Fang's eyes were full of fire and murderous intent. He hurriedly shouted, "Wait, Qin Qianfu, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to tarnish her reputation or insult her. She is... she is my adopted sister." Wei Wu suddenly realized, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, please stay. She is really my second sister. We are both from the capital. Believe me." If Yang Haiyan was still the girl of the Yang family, he would naturally not recognize her as his adopted sister. Even if he felt guilty towards Miss Yang, he would take better care of Yang Haiyan. After all, there is a difference between the status of a maid and a son of a noble family, and he would not lower himself to recognize her as his second sister.
But now it was different. Yang Haiyan's slavery was abolished by the imperial court. She was a good citizen promised by the imperial decree and the wife of the captain. If he recognized her as his younger sister, he would be the captain's brother-in-law. Wei Wu felt that this would be of great benefit to him. So, Wei Wu said seriously: "Brother-in-law, Haiyan is really my sister, please let go."
Qin Fang frowned and looked at Wei Wu deeply: "What do you mean?" But they separated their hands anyway. No matter what Wei Wu's intentions were, since he said she was his sworn sister, he could at least protect Yan Yan's reputation for the time being.
Wei Wu lied seriously: "Haiyan was once the maid of Miss Yang. Miss Yang and I were engaged. Haiyan was highly valued by Miss Yang. I hoped that she could speak well of me in front of Miss Yang, so I recognized her as my sister, and I also thought that after Miss Yang and I got married, I would find a good marriage for her. If you don't believe me, you can go to the capital to ask. Everyone knows that Miss Yang and I were engaged."
Although the Yang family was convicted for the succession, this was a fact that everyone in the capital knew, so he had nothing to hide. Moreover... he only found out afterwards that he was engaged to Miss Yang because his father wanted to gain the trust of the Yang family and obtain favorable information for the succession of the emperor. Therefore, after he knew the truth, he felt guilty towards Miss Yang, but the Yang family had been wiped out, and he had no way to compensate. So when he met Yang Haiyan this time, he wanted to compensate for his guilt towards Miss Yang on Yang Haiyan, in order to seek a little peace of mind.
Lin Feng said, "I can prove this." Although he didn't know whether Wei Wu's recognition of Yang Haiyan as his sister was true or not, the marriage between Wei Wu and Miss Yang was indeed true. Moreover... he and Wei Wu had the same idea. In this place where meat cannot be eaten, wouldn't it be good to recognize a captain as a brother-in-law? At least in the future, they don't have to go to the town to buy snacks. They can let Qin Qianfu bring them to them, and they don't have to worry about gossip.
Qin Fang did believe it, because he knew that Yang Haiyan was from the Yang family, and Yang Haiyan was literate and knew needlework. The Yang family had trained her well, which showed that she must be highly valued by Miss Yang. So in order to please his fiancée, Wei Wu recognized the maidservant beside his fiancée as his sister, even if it sounded bad, it was not a big deal.
