Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

It was noon soon and someone from the kitchen came to inform us that the food was ready and we could come in at any time.

When Political Commissar Yang learned of this, he immediately stood up and waved his hand.

"Come on, Zhengguo, go try our army's food, it may suit your taste."

"Okay! Thank you Uncle Yang for your hospitality."

After saying that, Sun Zhengguo followed Political Commissar Yang and the two of them walked towards the cafeteria.

During the meal, Political Commissar Yang specially called over a few cadres and had a few drinks with him.

Of course, I won’t drink too much, just a little bit of alcohol is enough. After all, the army also has its own rules.

In addition, among these drinking companions, Sun Zhengguo did not know anyone except Ning Dazhuang.

Among them, the person who impressed him the most was the chief martial arts instructor in the army.

The martial arts instructor is named Ma Zheng, 32 years old, from Cang County. He learned from a famous Baji master and has been practicing martial arts since he was 8 years old.

According to what he said himself, he has already entered the state of Ming Jin, and is in the late stage of Ming Jin, which is the same level as Sun Zhengguo's grandfather. It can be seen that this person has high qualifications.

When Ma Zheng saw Sun Zhengguo for the first time, he could feel that he was a master and very dangerous. He would definitely not be able to win if he faced him.

Don’t ask why. This may be the intuition of a martial artist.

After all, he is not a rookie like Ning Dazhuang. After all, he is a worldly-wise man with a master.

After discovering this situation, Ma Zheng remained calm and did not dig deeper or inquire about Sun Zhengguo's master.

Instead, he was polite and tried to get close to Sun Zhengguo, which made the rest of the people present a little confused.

Because everyone knows that Ma Zheng is the best expert in this army.

We don’t usually say how crazy or unruly he is, but he is definitely not an easy person to talk to.

With such questions, everyone has been waiting to see what Ma Zheng is up to.

But until the dinner was over, Ma Zheng still didn't say anything.

So, after the meal, the other cadres said goodbye and left.

Only Political Commissar Yang and Ning Dazhuang were left at the scene, preparing to send Sun Zhengguo away, and the other person left was none other than our comrade Ma Zheng.

Seeing this situation, Political Commissar Yang seemed to understand something and asked deliberately.

"What's wrong? Ma Zheng, are you not feeling well after drinking?"

"No, no, no, Commander, the army has its rules, I understand. But...?"

Seeing Ma Zheng hesitating and unable to explain clearly, Political Commissar Yang became furious and pointed at him and said something suggestive.

"Hey! Is this still our instructor Ma? He is usually fearless, but today he is acting like a woman, hesitating. If you are okay, let's go."

"No, no, no, let me tell you." Ma Zheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and state his purpose.

"Commander, as you know, I have been practicing martial arts for many years, but my progress has been very slow in recent years. I feel like I can't keep up."

When Ma Zheng said this, he looked at Sun Zhengguo who was standing next to him, and then he mustered up the courage.

"Today, I happened to meet a master like Director Sun. I would like to ask him for some advice. I wonder...?"

When Ma Zheng said this, he seemed very cautious and polite. He did not use the word "exchange ideas", but instead asked for guidance.

This is enough to show that he is a sensible man. He is not arrogant, but is very humble and has an attitude of begging for help.

When Political Commissar Yang saw the situation, he found that it was somewhat different from what he had expected, but not to a great extent.

As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. Although Ma Zheng has something to ask for, he still needs to see what Sun Zhengguo's attitude is.

So, Political Commissar Yang decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Zhengguo, Instructor Ma wants to fight with you. What do you think? Of course, you can refuse. After all, winning or losing is not that important."

OK! Political Commissar Yang's words stunned Ma Zheng.

Is this what I want to express? Chief, please don't cheat me.

Sun Zhengguo's eyelids also twitched. Political Commissar Yang was really a sinister person.

If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I would have believed your lies.

However, it is not easy to refuse in this situation, because refusal would mean admitting defeat. Sun Zhengguo said he could not afford to lose face.

Maybe this is what is called an open conspiracy.

Since it is unavoidable, let's fight! Then Sun Zhengguo nodded and agreed to it.

Afterwards, several people came to an open lawn next to the parade ground, ready for a fight.

At this time, many soldiers saw the excitement here and gathered over.

When Ma Zheng saw so many people, he knew that today's matter would not be resolved peacefully.

Now he felt a little regretful. He had originally just been asking for advice, so how did it turn into a competition?

Since it is unavoidable, let's have a fair fight! It will also help us to see where we are inferior.

"I am Ma Zheng of Bajiquan. Director Sun, please give me more guidance." Ma Zheng spoke first while bowing.

After seeing this, Sun Zhengguo followed suit and bowed in return.

"Sun Zhengguo of Tongbi Fist, I don't deserve your guidance."

After the two sides exchanged greetings, they took up their positions and began to gather their strength.

Ma Zheng practices Bajiquan, the main characteristics of which are fierceness and power with simple movements, so his starting posture is very simple, with the fist facing up and placed at the waist.

This movement may seem simple, but it should not be underestimated, because the biggest feature of Bajiquan is its explosive power. The key is to punch out and make the opponent lose the ability to move immediately.

On the other hand, Sun Zhengguo didn't have so many requirements. He just clenched his fists, that's all. One could tell at a glance that he was a wild man.

Even the soldiers watching the scene were not optimistic about Sun Zhengguo. They thought, where did this young man come from? I guess I could do the same as him.

Just when the soldiers were still daydreaming about how they could defeat Sun Zhengguo in just a few moves, Ma Zheng had already taken action.

He just took a step forward and pushed forward with both fists, striking towards Sun Zhengguo's abdomen with the force of two dragons emerging from the sea. It was obvious that this move was a test.

When Sun Zhengguo saw his opponent attacking, he didn't think of dodging. After all, at his level, boxing is only secondary and strength is the key, which is a bit like breaking all the attacks with one force.

He also pushed his fists forward with a little force and hit Ma Zheng's fists. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was preparing for a fight.

Although dodging and counterattacking are the main strategies in a duel, Sun Zhengguo doesn't care at all. He obviously has the strength, so why should he dodge?

It happened so quickly that the two fists collided with each other.

The soldiers at the scene only heard a loud "bang!" and then everyone saw a shocking scene.

Ma Zheng was seen taking seven or eight steps back before he stopped.

But Sun Zhengguo did not move at all, still maintaining his attacking state.

A comparison between the two reveals the difference.

At this moment, Ma Zheng's heart was already filled with huge waves.

You know, others may just be watching the fun and not know the ins and outs of it.

But he himself knew that it was not as simple as retreating seven or eight steps.

Because the opponent's force was too strong and the impact was too great, his hands were shaking and the blood in his body was boiling.

In other words, I almost vomited blood.
