Snapped--
"The knife is not stable enough!"
Snapped--
"Not fast enough!"
"slow!"
"too slow!"
Wulu County, the school grounds for city guards.
Zhang Qi and Huo Qubing each held a wooden knife and chopped.
When it comes to killing people, Zhang Qi can say that he has personally killed more people than the most murderous general of this era.
He has been riding in the world for more than ten years, and he has slaughtered countless top-level bandits, not to mention the huge Xianbei Wuhuan that he captured from scratch from the grassland.
Maybe Huo Qubing has a good uncle.
But what his uncle was better at was leading troops in battle. Compared with personal bravery, Zhang Qi couldn't say that he was much better than Wei Qing, but he was definitely stronger.
Kucha——
The moment the wooden knife in Huo Qubing's hand was knocked open by Zhang Qi, Zhang Qi suddenly strode forward. His one-hand grip instantly changed to two-hand grip, and with a sudden movement, he chopped the blade in Huo Qubing's hand, which had not yet turned around, to the ground.
The wooden knife fell heavily to the ground, bounced upward, and broke into two halves.
"Phew, that's it for today."
Zhang Qi exhaled a breath and took a cloth from Bai Xing's hand to wipe the sweat on his face.
Huo Qubing's hands were shaking. He had felt it when he was facing Zhang Qi just now.
That terrifying and violent energy.
Like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
It's chilling.
"General."
Bai Xing helped Huo Qubing up, but the latter was a little afraid to look at Zhang Qi.
The pressure I had just experienced was too great, and it was even more difficult to resist than facing my own uncle.
"What, are you scared?"
Zhang Qi handed out the cloth in his hand in a funny manner.
Huo Qubing hesitated for a moment and reached out to take it.
"The general seemed to have changed just now."
"It's so different from how it used to be."
Wiping his sweat, Huo Qubing spoke out what was on his mind.
It had been half a month since he came to Wuyou. The Zhang Qi he saw every day always looked like a gentle and elegant scholar. He really couldn't hold back and asked for advice today, but he didn't expect that the contrast between Zhang Qi would be so great.
"However, this is more in line with my impression of the general. Hehe, the general is really powerful. During the battle, I was completely under the control of the general. Every knife I struck was made according to the general's ideas. Take a rest. How about coming back later?”
Perhaps because he had regained his strength, Huo Qubing had that reckless energy again.
"Haha, you kid." Zhang Qi laughed and shook his head.
"Not today. Unlike you, I don't have anyone to keep track of everything. Although the military affairs in Wulu County are not many, they have to be dealt with every day. Let's do it next time if we have a chance."
"But you are not bad. You are fifteen this year. When I was fifteen, I was still around my parents asking for this and that, but you have already seen life and death."
"hey-hey."
Hearing Zhang Qi's compliment, Huo Qubing scratched his head in embarrassment.
"One day I will be like the general. I can rely on my personal bravery to defeat the three armies and make great achievements for the Han Dynasty."
After witnessing Zhang Qi's personal bravery, Huo Qubing became even more interested in Zhang Qi as an object of worship.
He swore that if he faced the Huns one day, he would become as famous as Zhang Qi.
"Have ambition! I'm at the Wulu County Government Office. If you still stay here, you can come to me at the end of every day. I can't teach you anything about leading an army. Besides, your uncle is now leading an army by himself. He must have some family heritage, but If it's a battle on the battlefield, you can ask me for advice, nothing else."
"If I want to use swords, guns, swords and halberds, bows, horses, riding and shooting, I will be the best in this world!"
Facing Huo Qubing, Zhang Qi put aside his bold words, but the future champion Hou, who was already his little fan, had no doubts because he had already learned the lesson just now.
"General, you are busy. I will come to find you at the end of Shen Shi."
The three of them walked out of the school grounds. Huo Qubing bowed his hands and resigned to Zhang Qi. Zhang Qi nodded slightly and walked away with his hands behind his back.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to teach him?"
On the way, Bai Xing asked in confusion.
Zhang Qi smiled slightly: "Rather than being beaten to death by his punches when we meet in the future, it's better to let him follow the same path as me. Then it all depends on experience."
"Does he have such ability?"
Bai Xing didn't believe it. In her eyes, Huo Qubing was just a kid. He was only fourteen or fifteen years old. What could he do?
"Haha, who knows about this kind of thing."
Zhang Qi did not explain too much. According to the original course of history, Huo Qubing would become the pursuit of all military generals in history, but now.
Who knows.
——
"how?"
Delivered to Li Duwei Mansion.
Wei Qing, wearing a long gown, was sitting on his knees handling official duties.
Although his status as captain is temporary, he has always been meticulous in what he should do.
Below, several military sentries who came over were half-kneeling on the ground to report.
"Half a month of investigation revealed that Zhang Qi's origins are innocent, but he is the nephew of the Zhang family in Liaodong, and he served as a county lieutenant in Wulu County. It is said that he was to protect the people who were destroyed by the Xiongnu because of the ineffective rescue efforts."
After one person finished speaking, the other person continued.
"Zhang Qi has a great reputation in Liaodong. Many people witnessed it with their own eyes when 5 million broke through 10,000 and when 10,000 riders broke through 100,000. Especially the 3,000 local people who were rescued by him respected Zhang Qiduo even more. ."
Take your seat.
The pen in Wei Qing's hand that was correcting military affairs stopped.
"So, this man is a perfect person?"
"Oh, there are no perfect people in the world. Some people just hide them too well."
"Through the investigation, these things are consistent with what your Majesty's spies found. I want something different."
Several scouts looked at each other and felt that it was a bit difficult to handle. They were wandering sentries in the army. They were good at spying on the enemy and engaging in sabotage operations, but just asking them to investigate one person was a bit unprofessional.
However, the one above said a word, and the one below broke his leg while running, and several detectives gave him away.
"promise."
After the detective left, Wei Qing also stood up from his bed, straightened the hem of his gown, and walked to the window frame with his hands behind his back: "Go sick, can you come back with any useful news?"
The next few days were uneventful.
Zhang Qi was either dealing with official duties or fighting with Huo Qubing.
Sometimes, they can fight from the end of Shen Shi to the beginning of Xu Shi.
Until Huo Qubing was soaked in sweat and fell to the ground.
However, the young man was full of energy. He was carried back by the Yulin men and took a medicinal bath for a night. The next day he was full of energy again.
Stretching out his hand, Zhang Qi caught a drop of water dripping from the eaves.
Bai Xing stood behind him, holding a paper umbrella for him.
"It's raining."
It's raining, the rain is heavy, and it feels like the sky is falling.
"Let Lu Mu give the order to evacuate the villages at the foot of the mountains, on the slopes, and along the rivers. The rain is too heavy and it is prone to floods and mudslides."
"promise!"
Bai Xing accepted the order and was about to leave, but when he saw the paper umbrella in his hand, he hesitated.
It doesn't matter to her what the villagers think. In her eyes, the life and death of those people are no more important than Zhang Qi getting caught in the rain.
She didn't want to disturb Zhang Qi who was watching the rain, so she didn't know what to do for a while.
A hand stretched out from her side, and Huo Qubing whispered: "Sister Bai Xing, let me do it."
Bai Xing glanced at him, released his grip on the umbrella, and left quietly.
