Then Sun Zhanshan fiercely attacked one of the people in the front yard.

And there happens to be a person in the middle courtyard next to the person in the front yard.

Sun Zhanshan didn't seem to care about the person in the middle yard at all, and kept attacking the person in the front yard.

The man in the middle courtyard originally wanted to attack Sun Zhanshan, but he saw that Sun Zhanshan had firmly suppressed the man in the front courtyard.

He only hesitated for a moment and made what he thought was the right decision.

Together with Sun Zhanshan, they dealt with the people in the front yard.

There is not much difference between the two sides of the middle courtyard and the front courtyard.

Even if Sun Zhanshan is eliminated, the outcome between the two sides is hard to say.

But now if there is a chance to eliminate the front yard in advance.

Then they will have an absolute advantage against Sun Zhanshan or the whole hospital afterwards.

To some extent, he was right.

But sometimes it's wrong.

“That tall and lanky boy is quite clever.

This is to drive the tiger away and swallow the wolf. "

The old man among the instructors narrowed his eyes and praised.

The other two nodded in agreement.

This kind of method is extremely smooth in the hands of veterans like them.

However, it is absolutely unexpected to see these methods in the hands of these apprentices.

"If this kid can win in the end, his final achievements may not be worse than those two guys before."

"Yeah, I almost made a mistake before. I thought there was no outstanding character in this third group."

The three instructors were chatting casually here.

The situation in the third competition arena changed several times in an instant.

First, Sun Zhanshan and one person from the middle courtyard eliminated the person from the front courtyard.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining person in the front yard originally wanted to distance himself, but unexpectedly, Sun Zhanshan attacked the middle school apprentice who had eliminated the front yard with him.

The remaining front yard apprentice knew that he had to take action now.

If he didn't take action, once the two people from the Intermediate Court jointly eliminated Sun Zhanshan, he would be in trouble.

At their level, there is actually not much difference between warriors of the same level.

Except for some slight differences in natural physical conditions, the rest are basically negligible.

Therefore, if two fight one, there is really a 100% chance of winning.

This is also the reason why the other three people in the middle competition field join forces to attack the Chen brothers.

Sun Zhanshan followed the same pattern and teamed up with an apprentice in the front yard to eliminate an apprentice in the middle yard.

Then the situation became a three-point world.

The remaining apprentices in the front yard and middle yard can no longer unite if they want.

Because they had almost completely lost trust in each other before.

In a three-point world situation, it depends on who is stronger.

Sun Zhanshan is more flexible than the other two.

And his physical exertion is the greatest.

From the beginning of the competition in the martial arts field, he has been running away, attacking, running away, and attacking.

So now he looks like the most tired person. He is constantly gasping for breath on the court, as if he will be out of breath at any time.

"Hahaha!"

Sun Zhanshan was not smiling, but breathing heavily.

"Um?

It looks like those two people are going to suffer! "

Ma Dakui said suddenly.

Lu Tong didn't understand why he asked him immediately.

"Because even if a person is exhausted to the extreme, it is impossible for him to pant like him.

This is too exaggerated! "

Ma Dakui said confidently.

He had really worked himself to the limit, and he never breathed as hard as Sun Zhanshan.

This breathing method consumes more energy than he can recover.

Therefore, Ma Dakui judged that he must be pretending.

"This guy is really smart!"

The old man among the instructors kept stroking his beard and said with a smile.

The other two people on the martial arts field did not realize this.

Both of them had the same idea.

Sun Zhanshan consumes a lot of energy and is the weakest.

And no matter who among them attacks Sun Zhanshan, even if they can eliminate the opponent, they will definitely consume more energy.

And consuming more physical energy means disadvantage.

And they certainly won't let themselves fall into a disadvantage.

And continuing to pull like this will only allow Sun Zhanshan to recover his physical strength.

Faced with the latter's Xiaoyin attributes, both of them unanimously chose not to let Sun Zhanshan succeed.

So the two started a duel.

The two of them quickly decided the winner. No matter who won or lost, it was still an upright competition.

Then the winner will eliminate Sun Zhanshan.

The ending can be said to be a happy one.

After a while, the apprentices in the middle courtyard finally eliminated the apprentices in the front courtyard.

When he felt the fatigue of his body, the consumption of strength made his whole body feel a little hollow.

Even in this situation, he didn't pant violently like Sun Zhanshan did before.

At this moment, he stood stunned on the spot, as if he finally understood something.

His body was a little stiff, and when he turned around, he saw Sun Zhanshan who was not blushing and breathless.

Although he still tried his best in the end, he was no match for Sun Zhanshan, who had recovered most of his physical strength.

"You...you are so insidious!"

The apprentice from the middle courtyard fell down unwillingly. Before he fell, he left these words.

"A soldier never tires of deceit, and he can walk on the rivers and lakes. Isn't that what it is?"

Sun Zhanshan said lightly.

After he won, this year's selection came to an end.

Next, the three coaches from the Longchang Escort Bureau spoke.

But this time it was not the oldest old man who spoke.

The coach's speech was of course false and empty. First of all, he congratulated the three selected candidates.

Of course the joy on his face is serious, because this year's three selection winners all have their own characteristics.

Especially for Sun Zhanshan, his weak cultivation is not a problem, but he is indeed very suitable for the world.

I think after going back and forth, this person will definitely be loved and valued by several escort heads.

Congratulations to the three selection winners were followed by some encouragement.

Of course, when the age is reached, twenty-year-old apprentices who cannot be selected will face two choices.

Because they are apprentices, the weapon-refining shop does not force them to stay or leave.

But in the end, all those who had not been selected at the age of twenty chose to stay.

They don't get a salary as apprentices, but if they choose to stay at this time, they will officially become a member of the weapon refining shop.

Each month has a fixed monthly salary.

Such a sum of money is enough to support a family of three or four.

This is why so many people have to go through the back door to become apprentices even if they spend money.

If you can be selected, it would be a great thing.

Even if you are not selected, it is still a good thing to officially become a member of the weapon refining shop.

Ma Dakui looked at the three people he had chosen with envy.

Their lives will be different from now on.

Because he was sent to the weapon refining shop, the old parents at home even owed a large foreign debt.

And this money will not wait for him to become a member of the weapon refiner shop four years later.

Of course, his parents didn't want him to know about this.

But he overheard his parents talking, and the incident settled on his mind.

This is why he had to focus on Han Zhangshao after he arrived.

If you can't improve your strength quickly, your parents' debt will not be repaid.

God knows what those debt collectors will do.

Ma Dakui still felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

The annual selection is over.

After each selection, there is a period of hard work for all apprentices.

Because they really see the benefits of selection.

The weapon-refining shop held a grand farewell ceremony for the three people the day after they were selected.

Also on this night, there was wine and meat in front of everyone.

Of course, in front of the apprentices were a couple of glasses of sake and a plate of vegetables with a few more shredded meats.

But even so, the apprentices are very satisfied.

After the banquet, when everyone was resting, Ma Dakui went out to stand alone.

Standing is the most important part of physical training for low-level warriors at the beginning.

It can quickly allow low-level warriors to control their bodies, and at the same time, it can disperse the excess energy in the body into the flesh and blood.

Only by improving their control can they help them open up their meridians faster.

From this day on, Ma Dakui practiced for one to two hours longer than ordinary people.

Just like that, another two years passed.

Ma Dakui's relationship with Han Zhangshao is getting better and better. It can be said that he has done all the chores in the kitchen.

Because of this, the extra meatiness made Ma Dakui look like the burly man who won two years ago.

On this day, Han Zhangshao might have caught some cold, so he weakly handed over the shopping to Ma Dakui.

For the first time, Ma Dakui had a huge sum of money.

This tael of silver was enough to buy food for their entire weapon refinery for three days.

Of course, Master Han would usually buy ten days' worth of ingredients, but because he didn't trust Ma Dakui and was afraid that he would have evil thoughts after seeing such a huge fortune, he only allowed him to buy three days' worth.

And going with him was the old groom from the stable.

Ma Dakui was simple-minded and didn't think of anything. He was just touched by Han Zhangshao's trust in him.

The old groom indeed looked at Ma Dakui with a sneer and disdain.

However, there were some words that the old groom didn't say until he left the weapon refining shop.

"Boy, I see how you look so smug.

Do you think Lao Han trusts you? "

When Ma Dakui heard this, he was angry at first and ignored the old horseman.

The old groom said minding his own business.

"Do you know how much silver Lao Han buys every month?"

Ma Dakui didn't respond. First of all, he didn't want to talk to this arrogant old horseman. He didn't know how much Han Zhangshao's monthly purchasing silver was.

"You just wouldn't know it once you look at it."

The old groom smiled and asked.

"Do you know why Lao Han asked me to follow you today?"

Ma Dakui shook his head.

The old groom shook his head and sighed. When he looked at Ma Dakui, he was already a little angry.

"You are the only one who has been following Lao Han for three years!

Lao Han's monthly purchase of silver is twelve taels.

He goes out to buy once every ten days, and the approximate cost is two to three taels of silver.

After a month, he can often save one or two taels of silver.

Of course, the amount of money depends on whether the shopkeeper has any special requirements. "

The old groom was minding his own business. This time he came out with a cart and an old horse.

This old horse is probably about the same age as Ma Dakui.

It can be said that it is half a foot. Oh no, it should be said that both hooves are buried in the soil.

Because the old groom was minding his own business, Ma Dakui didn't interrupt and just listened quietly.

After all, he was also somewhat curious.

In the weapon-refining shop, there is endless work to do every day, and when you have time, you have to practice and exercise.

Ma Dakui also couldn't spare any free time.

In the past three years, today was the only day he was free.

However, his efforts over the past three years have not been without results.

Now the first meridian is about to be opened!

"Old Han, the silver tael spent on monthly purchases can actually be cheaper.

But this old guy is shrewd.

The shopkeeper doesn't care about this little money.

So Lao Han did some tricks on the spending of the money. "

"ah!

How can it be! "

Ma Dakui was first surprised when he heard this.

The management of money in the weapon refining shop is very strict.

If someone dares to be greedy for money, he may even just secretly take the pig iron from the weapon refiner shop.

The result is only one word.

That is death.

Ma Dakui once saw a new apprentice who secretly stole a small piece of pig iron every day.

When he was finally found out, he had only stolen a total of five or six kilograms of iron.

The final result is to fight thirty.

Even with Ma Dakui's current physical fitness, it would be difficult for him to survive these thirty battles.

Let alone an apprentice who has just arrived.

At that time, Lao Han told him earnestly not to have such thoughts.

The shopkeeper was just afraid that no one would do this kind of thing, and he couldn't do anything to scare the monkeys.

Therefore, every time something like this happened, he would go all out and punish him harshly.

The ending is basically a dead end.

Ma Dakui couldn't figure out why Han Zhangshao did this even though he knew the consequences.

"You look stupid, but you are actually a fool.

What Lao Han did was not ordinary theft.

Instead, he stole the opportunity and acted slippery.

Do you know the price difference between the same pound of vegetables in the city and outside the city?

Although meat is not available outside the city, you can only buy it in the city.

But the amount of vegetables is large and the amount of meat is small.

If you go outside the city to buy something, one tael of silver will be worth 2 taels of silver in the city.

Therefore, every time Lao Han bought something, he was actually in the city.

So he does spend about three taels of silver every time he goes out to buy something. "

"Then this doesn't take advantage of the weapon refining shop."

Ma Dakui said with some confusion.

The old horseman smacked his lips twice, and he couldn't even continue to speak.

Ma Dakui is a bit too honest and honest person.

Even after all this, I still don’t understand.

"Let me just say this, Lao Han has been doing most of his shopping in the city these years.

Out of ten taels of silver per month, he could only get about one tael of silver.

And to tell the truth, the shopkeeper also knew that the prices of the things he just bought fluctuated from time to time.

Another thing is that every time Lao Han goes out, the money is regarded as his errand fee.

But if Lao Han is short of silver at any time, he can save three taels of silver in a month through the price difference between inside and outside the city.

This is the reason why he has been purchasing in the city and quoting ten taels. "

Ma Dakui said thoughtfully.

When the old horseman heard this, he immediately closed his eyes and rested his mind.

He no longer wanted to waste any more words with this boy.

"Um...where are we going now?"

Ma Dakui asked suddenly when he saw the city gate in front of him.

"How many taels of silver do you have in your hand?"

asked the old groom.

"One... one or two."

Ma Dakui said.

"One tael of silver, Lao Han is a kind person who is kind to me, but also kind to me if I am not kind.

One tael of silver, if you buy it in the city, can only last three days of food. "

"Isn't that just right?"

Ma Dakui quickly calculated in his mind and found that Han Zhangshao had not tricked him.

"You idiot.

Take a look at the note in your hand. Is there anything extra? "

Upon hearing this, Ma Dakui took out the purchase list that Han Zhangshao had given him.

He looked carefully and finally found a line of small words at the bottom.

It is additionally marked:

The shopkeeper wants it!

The old horseman opened his eyes and took the piece of paper from Ma Dakui's hand.

"Look at it!

I know Lao Han.

This last item is what the shopkeeper wants. This little thing costs two coins.

If you buy one or two silver and buy ingredients in the city. You can't buy this thing anymore. "

"How could it be possible? Commander Han, do you want to harm me?"

"hey-hey!

This is where I say Lao Han is not authentic.

Of course, he also has his own unique point, which is to ask me to come out with you.

Because of me, the items on your list can still be purchased! "

"So we need to go out of the city to buy it, because we can save these two coins by going out of the city!"

"That's right, that's right, you idiot is completely hopeless."

Upon hearing this, Ma Dakui immediately scratched his head and smiled innocently.

Now he is nineteen years old, and he has a strong body and a strong back. People can’t help but look at him twice when he walks on the road.

After leaving Ganzhou City, he set out on his way home two hours later.

After walking for two more hours, it was still morning when we set off and it was already afternoon when we came back.

Ma Dakui and the old horseman are also familiar with each other. The old horseman seems to be very familiar with the affairs of the world, and he can mention anything about the world.

Along the way, there were old grooms talking about this and that, but Ma Dakui felt that time passed a bit fast.

Just when they were less than ten miles away from the city gate, Ma Dakui suddenly heard a roar from behind.

The sound was not loud, but it made the expression of the old horseman beside him change slightly.

Before Ma Dakui realized anything, the old groom had already driven his horse and dragged the cart to the side of the official road.

And just after he made this series of reactions, several people on horses appeared on the official road behind him.

The old groom narrowed his eyes after seeing these people. Ma Dakui was frightened by the sudden movement of the old groom and asked quickly:

"What's going on? Uncle Zhou?"
