Fenghou

After entering the barracks, Li Yaoqing was separated from a thousand soldiers. One thousand soldiers went to the recruit camp to report. In fact, they all carried their recruit cards. Newly register the big account.

Teams of new recruits arrived one after another, and at this time the ordering officer shouted: "New recruits from Yuchi County have arrived!"

This is a small county with only 200 recruits. Yang Zaixing didn't want to look at it. He turned his horse's head and was about to leave. Most of the soldiers are half a head tall. They are marchers. They don't ride horses. They are marchers. They hold a big iron rod in their hands, weighing at least sixty kilograms. They are about 25 or [-] years old. They walk vigorously and have extraordinary appearance .

Yang Zaixing was a little surprised at the moment, he actually used more than [-] catties of iron rods as weapons, which can be ranked among the top five in the Western Army, Yang Zaixing called his soldiers, pointed to Ruan De and gave some instructions, the soldiers nodded and followed Ruan De up.

Ruan De was taken to the tent of the new general, where he had to register, and the registration of generals was much stricter than that of recruits.

There is a long row of tables in the big tent, and there are more than a dozen civilian officers sitting there, and a general sits in front of each of them.

"Please sit down!" The civilian officer politely asked Ruan De to sit down.

"I asked you something, please be sure to answer truthfully, if it is not true, it will seriously affect your promotion in the future, because many of you have served in the army in puppet Qi, but as long as you have not committed the crime of killing civilians or raping civilian women, everything else is fine. do not worry."

Ruan De nodded, "I understand!"

The civil servant spread out the registration form and asked with a pen, "Name, age, are you married?"

"My surname is Ruan Mingde. I have no characters. I am 25 years old this year. I am married. I have two sons, one is seven years old and the other is five years old."

The civil official flew a pen to record, and then asked: "Where is the ancestral home?"

"Shijie Village, Yuncheng County, Jeju!"

"What's your father's name? What's your job?"

Ruan De hesitated and said: "Father's name is Ruan Xiaoqi. He used to be a fisherman in Liangshanbo. For farmers."

This civilian military officer was obviously not familiar with the Liangshan Uprising during the Xuanhe period. The civilian officer was a passer-by in Shaanxi. Of course, he didn't know what happened on the East and West Roads in Beijing 20 years ago. He took a pen to record it expressionlessly.

"Can you ride and shoot?"

Ruan De shook his head, "I'm a step general, and I can step with a bow!"

"What weapon do you use?"

"Usually use iron rods and harpoons!"

"Harpoon?" The civilian officer froze for a moment.

Ruan De turned around and saw three small harpoons stuck behind him.

The civilian military officer wrote: "Iron rods and hidden weapons flying forks!"

"Any other special skills?"

Ruan De thought for a while and said: "The water quality is good, but you can dive in the water for a stick of incense, and you can also forge iron!"

"Forging iron is not a martial skill, it's a life skill!"

The civilian officer smiled and asked again: "Have you ever joined the army? Song Army, Puppet Qi Army, Signing Army, Township Soldiers, etc."

Ruan De shook his head, "Is this my first time joining the army?"

The civilian officer smiled again: "There is one last question, can you read?"

"I have read books for several years, and there is no problem in silently writing "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius."

The civil servant immediately had a good impression of him, "Okay! Press your fingerprints here, five fingerprints on your right hand, and then sign your name."

Ruan De signed his name with a pen, and pressed five fingerprints, and the civil servant gave him a bronze medal, "Go! Go to the martial arts field to test it."

Ruan De was startled, "What did you actually measure?"

"If you want to be the head of the Western Army, there are requirements. Don't you know about body shape, weightlifting, martial arts, and archery?"

Ruan De shook his head, but Yu Shou didn't tell him.

The civil official said with a smile: "You should have no problem, go! There are soldiers outside the tent to take you there."

Ruan De clasped his fists and saluted and left.

At this moment, Yang Zaixing walked over from the back tent, and asked lightly, "How do you feel about this person?"

The civil official had a very good impression of Ruan De, and said with a smile: "I feel very honest, and he can also write "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius" silently. I think he is very good."

Yang Zaixing picked up the registration form, and his eyelids twitched suddenly. This person turned out to be Ruan Xiaoqi's son. Others didn't know Ruan Xiaoqi, but Yang Zaixing knew it very well.

Everyone has their own secrets, and Yang Zaixing is no exception. It is not without reason that he followed the bandit leader Cao Cheng in his early years. His father Yang Zhi was also one of the heroes of Liangshan. Yang Zaixing was entrusted to Cao Cheng, and Cao Cheng took Yang Zaixing to his hometown of Hezhou, and together with Yang's gun, he passed on his strong martial arts.

Later, Cao Cheng offended the local tyrants, was forced to rebel in Hezhou, and soon took Yang Zaixing to kill Lingnan.

Because of Cao Cheng's poor military discipline, rape and robbery, he committed all kinds of crimes, which aroused Yang Zaixing's strong resentment, and repeated admonitions were useless.

Yang Zaixing kept his father's secret in his heart all the time, and no one ever confided in it, but he never expected that he would meet a descendant of Liangshan, the son of Ruan Xiaoqi, who was the son of Ruan Xiaoqi during the recruitment of recruits. Xiang, even the water ghost scouts can't do it, as expected of the descendants of the three heroes of the Ruan family.

Yang Zaixing's heart was full of ups and downs, but he didn't know that Ruan De was in big trouble in the martial arts arena at this time.

The first thousand and 150 chapter two conflicts

The recruits from Changshe County occupied the best camp area, but recruits from several counties also camped here. The recruits from Changshe County took advantage of their large numbers and drove away the recruits from several counties one after another. They couldn't move the recruits from Yuchi County, and in anger, the two sides even fought, but was stopped by Sima of the recruit battalion who came over after hearing the news.

In this way, not only did the recruits from Changshe County not take advantage of it, but several of them were beaten up with bruised noses and swollen faces. The recruits from Changshe County harbored a grudge because of this. Know nothing.

Registration is just the first step. If you want to become a general of the Western Army without meritorious service, it is not easy even for a low-level general.

True ability includes two parts, one is the innate advantage, burly physique, and extraordinary strength, and the second is the acquired advantage, precise arrow technique and high martial arts.

So after the registration is over, you have to go to the martial arts field to take the test. There are three tests, weightlifting, archery and weapons.

If you become the head of the capital through various connections and fail the test, you will either be demoted to a soldier, or you will leave the barracks, or you have a bit of literary talent, can write and read, and can be a military assistant at the rank of Marquis of Yu, Ten Generals, etc. A leader like Dutou will definitely not work.

Ruan De came to the Martial Arts Arena, where three big tents were set up. Before each big tent, a test was conducted. The first was body shape.

Ruan De has no problem with his physique. He is the tallest and most majestic of all the generals. He didn't need to be measured at all, and he went directly to the first big tent.

Several generals sat in front of the big tent. Ruan De clasped his fists and saluted. He came to the heavy object. The heavy object was three stone locks. Good, one weighs 180 catties, and it is excellent if it is lifted three times over the head.

The test records will be recorded in the file, which is related to everyone's future. At this time, no one will be humble and will try their best to use their best skills, but there are only two chances, so they should not overestimate themselves.

When Ruan De walked to the 250-jin stone lock in the middle, several generals exchanged in low voices, and a commander shook his head and said, "It's a pity that such a strong man only uses medium stone locks."

Another commander laughed and said, "Maybe he wants to be steady! It's understandable."

Ruan De grabbed the stone lock with his left hand, lifted it easily, walked to the 320-jin stone lock, grabbed the handle of the stone lock, and picked it up again.

Everyone's 'ah! With a cry, several generals stood up in shock. It turned out that this guy thought the stone locks were too light. Ruan De easily lifted the two stone locks over his head at the same time, three times in a row, effortlessly.

The leader looked at Ruan De's bronze medal, and couldn't help asking: "No. 52, how much can you lift at most?"

Ruan De thought for a while and said, "I'm a blacksmith. Once when I was delivering an iron plow to someone, the cart broke down on the way, so I carried four iron plows weighing [-] jins for twenty miles. This is mine. Limit it!"

"Okay! Let's say you lift five hundred catties, which is the best. Please go to the archery shed!"

Ruan De saluted and went to the arrow shed again. Several generals discussed in low voices. They are all experts. They can lift 320 catties with one arm so easily. With two arms, they can lift at least [-] catties. They found a strong general!

Basically, most people can pass the archery. What is required to be qualified is the Eight Dou bow, at least seven out of ten shots from [-] paces. The key points of the wooden target are the head and chest.

Excellence is a stone bow that hits nine out of ten shots from a hundred paces away, and five arrows must hit the vital point.

Archery requires precision and low strength, so there are only two kinds of bows and arrows, the eight-dou bow and the stone bow. Ruan De uses a stone bow and shoots ten times out of a hundred steps, and the arrow hits the chest. This is the best of the best. At present, only three people have done it, but if counting strength, he can unleash a crossbow with a stone waist, then no one can compare with him.

The school grounds were filled with thousands of recruits, and there were constant voices of applause, cheering and cheering for the generals undergoing tests. Two hundred recruits from Yuchi County were also outside the court, looking at their heads worriedly.

Ruan De has reached the third largest account, this is the last test, a test of martial arts, and he controls Li Fuxing as the chief judge.

The third round of the test is relatively slow, and many generals to be tested need to prepare, and the length of time varies, so it is not in order, whoever is ready will go.

Ruan De did not find his weapon, and he handed it to a sergeant when he came in.

He stepped forward and asked a sergeant, "Excuse me, where are our weapons?"

"It's all there!" The soldier pointed to the big tent.

There was a weapon rack over there, and all kinds of weapons were piled up in a mess on it. Ruan De hurried forward, searched around but didn't see his iron rod.

"Is this fire stick yours?" Someone behind asked with a smile.

When Ruan De turned his head, he saw his iron rod being stepped on by a general, with a look of disdain.

Ruan De was furious. This iron rod was made by his father himself. Although it was not very good, it was the only souvenir of his father. After the flood, everything left by his father was gone, only this iron rod was left. stick.

A rush of blood rushed to Ruan De's head. He strode forward, pushed the general away, and picked up his iron rod.

This general was Li Yaoqing. His subordinates were beaten black and blue by more than a dozen recruits from Yuchi County. It was impossible to take revenge.

Changshe County, one of the five major counties on Henan Road, was humiliated by a small county in Kaifeng Prefecture. Li Yaoqing couldn't swallow the bad breath in his heart.

Li Yaoqing was born as a general of the Puppet Qi Army. He has a lot of ruffian in him, and he will take revenge, and he will never let go of the big and small things. It is a bit bad for his reputation to attack the soldiers of Yuchi County. Germany.

When the opponent pushed, Li Yaoqing was caught off guard, kick!pedal!pedal!pedal!He took a dozen steps back and almost sat on the ground.

Li Yaoqing's face suddenly turned purple, and he was furious in his heart. He raised his sword and rushed towards Ruan De, slashing up and down, left and right several times, and the surrounding soldiers exclaimed.

Ruan De dodged again and again, but did not fight back. He saw that the opponent was slashing at his vitals, trying to kill him, and the anger in his heart also burned.

At this moment, Li Fuxing yelled, "What are you two doing?"

Li Yaoqing put away the big knife, Li Fuxing stepped forward and angrily said: "I said before, you are not allowed to fight in private, if you have any grievances to be settled in public, since you two want you to die, then go up and fight!"

Murderous intent burst out in Li Yaoqing's heart, he gritted his teeth and said, "Little brat, do you dare to go up and compete with grandpa?"

Ruan De said coldly: "If I beat you to death with heavy hands, I can't bear the responsibility."

"If you sign the life and death certificate, you can go up to the competition. Life and death are in the sky, and neither party has any responsibility. This is stipulated by His Royal Highness King Yong."

The one who spoke was the general Yang Zaixing. He had just been approached by the general, and he also knew why Li Yaoqing provoked the trouble, to take revenge on the other party for fighting over the tent.

Yang Zaixing didn't have a good impression of Li Yaoqing. He had read Li Yaoqing's registration just now. He was the commander of the Puppet Qi Army and had led troops to station in Puzhou area for a long time. One day, the hungry people in Puzhou rioted and were brutally suppressed by the garrison. More than [-] innocent people were killed, thousands of women were raped and humiliated by soldiers, and thousands of people died.

The puppet Qi was abolished in the second year, Wanyan Wushu took power in Henan Road, and began to abolish half of the puppet Qi army. The first army to be abolished was the [-] puppet Qi army stationed in Puzhou. Wanyan Wushu also knew this army The reputation is too bad.

Yang Zaixing stepped forward and said coldly to Li Yaoqing: "If you have the ability, sign a life-and-death certificate and fight. If you kill each other, I won't hold you accountable. If you don't have the guts, just keep your tail between your legs."

Li Yaoqing's blood surged with Yang Zaixing's provocative method, and he immediately clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to sign the certificate of life and death!"

Yang Zaixing glanced at Ruan De again, "What about you? Do you have the guts?"

Ruan De nodded silently, and calmly said: "Since he must fight, I can accompany him!"

The first thousand and 150 chapters and three conflicts

The certificate of birth and death was in a standard format, signed by the two people, and Yang Zaixing personally acted as a witness for them.

Yang Zaixing said again: "This is the first certificate of life and death in the new barracks, let's add a lottery! The winner will be promoted to a higher rank and will be rewarded with [-] guan."

Li Yaoqing's eyes lit up. He didn't expect such a good thing to be promoted. He didn't care about Qian, but it was very important to him. He is now the deputy commander, just a deputy general. So that is the general.

"God help me too!"

Li Yaoqing couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, he got on his horse, brandished a big knife and ran towards the school field.

Ruan De was expressionless, he carried the iron rod on his shoulder, and strode towards the battlefield. Yang Zaixing knew that he was inexperienced, so he couldn't help reminding: "There is no morality on the battlefield, only killing skills, and any means can be used!"

Ruan De nodded to Yang Zaixing, he knew that the general was reminding him that he could use the flying spear as a concealed weapon.

There was a clamor of recruits all around, it was too unfair for cavalry generals to fight infantry generals, but with the sound of a gong, the competition started, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Li Yaoqing yelled, galloped on his horse, rushed to Ruan De's eyes in an instant, swiped his knife, the speed of the knife was as fast as lightning, and directly slashed Ruan De's neck, all the soldiers around him exclaimed.

However, Ruan De suddenly squatted, rolled forward, swung the iron rod with one arm and swept out, hitting the horse's hind legs, "Crack!" The horse's hind legs were crushed abruptly, and the horse hissed miserably. He fell and knocked Li Yaoqing to the ground.

With a roar, Ruan De jumped up high, like a god descending from heaven, and slammed a stick at Li Yaoqing's face. One foot was pinned down by the horse.

Li Yaoqing was frightened out of his wits, and in a panic, he raised the knife and raised it up, "Dang!" There was a loud noise, and the iron rod smashed on the knife, Li Yaoqing broke his arms and screamed.

But the screams stopped abruptly, a flying fork pierced his head at some point, and Li Yaoqing was killed on the spot.

After only two rounds, the winner was already divided, one general was killed, the surroundings were completely silent, no one could clearly see how Ruan De shot the flying fork.

However, Yang Zaixing could see clearly that when the iron rod fell, Ruan De was still holding the rod with one arm. With the help of the iron rod's rebound force, his body rolled in the air, and his left hand shot out with incomparable precision.

That is to say, from the moment Li Yaoqing's war horse galloped over, Ruan De had already figured out how to kill the opponent, several moves were done in one go, without any hindrance, as fast as flowing water.

"Amazing martial arts!"

Yang Zaixing couldn't help applauding loudly.

There were thunderous cheers all around, and excited shouts, "Good martial arts!"

……

Inside the big tent, Ruan De bowed and saluted, "See the capital control!"
