"It's okay, it's okay," Li Yi tried to smooth things over. He didn't want the little boy to be punished by the superior for his identity. Li Yi still asked with a smile, "Why do you want me to take you there?"
"Because... because, my parents!" Xu Wen's tears came out, "They were all killed by the bandits!" The boy's face was red in tears, and he wiped his tears with his dusty sleeves from time to time, "I want to avenge them!"
Ling pulled the boy with heartache, took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe Xu Wen's tears, and glared at Li Yi viciously, telling the fat man very clearly - if you don't agree, I will tell Sister Gu to go and let her "educate" you well!
Li Yi shrugged and continued, "New recruit Xu Wen..."
"Come!" Xu Wen broke away from Ling. Although his body was still developing and he had to undergo such heavy exercises every day, he seemed to be thin and still stood straight like a javelin.
"Our bandit suppression operation is not a joke! So, before you have enough strength, I suggest you not participate!" Li Yiyi said righteously.
"Sir! But..." Xu Wen was a little incoherent, "I can... no, I mean that although I am young,... Sir! Are all the people who have just been selected have strength? So what is the judgment of this strength? It depends on that person?" Xu Wen was wise in a hurry and pointed to Pang Hu who was picking people. Although the words said were unreasonable, they were not without reason.
"This..." Li Yi couldn't answer.
"If the adult's standard of strength depends on that person's recognition, then," Xu Wen's eyes revealed a stubborn light, "I want to challenge him!"
As soon as Xu Wen said this, the scene suddenly became quiet and chaos began.
"Look at this recruit egg, I really think I am a green onion!"
"That's right, if you have the ability, you can choose a hand with me. If you want to compete with the 'Tiger Man of Desperateness', you should pass my level first!"
"Haha, you, the defeated general of the 'Tiger Lang', will bully the children!"
"What a bully this is? I'm just helping his ten-husband educate this recruit. Everyone, right?!"
Another cheering.
Pang Hu looked at Xu Wen's weak body disdainfully and shook his head. Most of the reason why he did not challenge the recruits was because the quality of these recruits was too poor. They were robbed outside for many years. He was used to playing swords and guns. He still looked down on such weak opponents. You know, the Xincheng Guards at that time spent a lot of effort but still did not subdue him, so he had to invite people from the Imperial Guards to take him down. Even so, he still knocked down several soldiers of the Imperial Guards.
Xu Wen still looked at Li Yi stubbornly, not caring about the cheering around him. In his heart, the veterans' cheering was still a lot different from the fact that they avenged their parents.
Xu Wen's tenth husband couldn't bear it anymore, so he stepped forward and saluted Meng Guo and Li Yi, then pulled Xu Wen over, trying to pull him away and teach him a good lesson. Xu Wen struggled and pulled him, and during this time he was beaten up by the tenth husband several times.
When Li Yi saw that the stubbornness in Xu Wen's eyes remained the same.
The fat man couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to stop it. Ling, but before he was attacked, she stepped forward and snatched Xu Wen from the head of the tenth husband to protect the child, and said almost unreasonably: "Why are you like this? He is still a child!"
The head of the ten thousand men looked at the beautiful girl and couldn't speak. If it were someone else, he would have punched her without saying a word - I'll care about my soldiers and what's your business? But this girl was brought by the emperor grandson in front of her. She should be a personal guard, either because she is not a lover. As the saying goes, "You must look at the owner when you hit a dog." Although this metaphor is not very appropriate, a small head of the ten thousand men just contradicted the people around the emperor grandson, and the general's face would not look good. After weighing the pros and cons, he could only stand there stupidly, looking at him from time to time.
The soldiers under his command were enough to keep him in command, and he didn't want to add to his crimes because of other things.
He was confused but pretended not to see it, and his body turned to the person Pang Hu selected, and his heart trembled again...
Ling pulled Xu Wen to Li Yi angrily, and said to Li Yi who was stunned, "Brother Li Yi! You said something!"
As soon as the four words "Brother Li Yi" were expressed, the ten-husband was relieved by his wise decision just now - fortunately, he did not make any extreme actions, he was the "sister" of the emperor's grandson! Although the word "sister" may have a certain amount of moisture, the intimacy between them is beyond doubt.
Li Yi was a little stunned, looking at Ling with a silly smile, looking like a pig brother: "I actually saw the glory of motherhood..."
Ling's face was flushed with shyness, but the more pity he felt for Xu Wen was stronger - how old he was, his parents were killed by robbers, and now he was desperate to take revenge. What a brave thing! She pushed Li Yi, and her tone became more and more urgent: "Look at him, he didn't care about anything for his parents, just agree to him!"
Li Yi recovered from his senses, and saw Xu Wen's stubborn unmoved eyes, and nodded: "This way, if he can survive three moves under Pang Hu, I will let him join. Otherwise, I'd better practice in the army for two years before appearing in front of me to talk about revenge with me!"
"You...!" Ling was so angry that she couldn't speak, but she was not a girl who was irrefutable. Although she was still childish in her psychology, her years of struggle and survival made her understand that if she wanted to survive in a real battle, she would have to have a certain amount of capital. If she lacked her strength, she would only become the cornerstone of her opponent's road to success! Her love for the little boy was based on the similar experience he had with him, a sense of similarity between those who had lost their parents. Ling could still distinguish between big things, otherwise she would not have been able to remain free in the territory of Xinqin as an elf until now.
Ling thought for a moment and stopped talking.
"Thank you!" After Xu Wen gave the ceremony, he walked directly to Pang Hu, but his eyes seemed even more desperate.
He bowed to Pang Hu and looked up at Pang Hu's eyes: "Mr. Pang Hu, please give me a call!"
Pang Hu looked at the little boy from beginning to end, and his eyes gradually changed from disdain to admiration. Although the other party was not old, his filial piety alone had already gained recognition in Pang Hu's heart - after all, what people in the world value most is affection and righteousness, let alone filial people.
Even Pang Hu, who had been a robber, gradually felt a little guilty in his heart and felt ashamed of his former career.
Pang Hu nodded and replied to Xu Wen with a military salute: "Little brother, be careful. I will do my best in these three moves, but not to make things difficult for you, but to give you more chances to survive on the battlefield. If you can't even take my three moves, then letting you follow us to suppress the bandits will only be a waste of your life..."
"Thank you for your reminder," Xu Wen looked at Pang Hu with a firm look, "I will take you three tricks seriously! It is not only to prove your strength, but also to avenge your parents!"
"Good boy, even if you can't pass his level today, I will still want you tomorrow!" Li Yi clapped his hands and cheered behind him. He still admired such a true bloody person, even if the other party was just a minor child.
"I'm here!" Pang Hu reminded him. When the last word popped out of his lips, he jumped to Xu Wen, who was already ready for defense, and knocked Xu Wen to the ground with a sweeping leg. "Only guarding the upper body but not the lower body is a taboo in melee combat!"
Xu Wen felt dizzy and lay down to the ground. Seeing Pang Hu put away his feet, he was about to lift him up. He rolled on the ground in a hurry, and then he quickly got up.
Pang Hu's reminder undoubtedly gave him a guide to the direction. He instantly acted as a defensive posture and watched Pang Hu's every move nervously.
Xu Wen felt his heart beating violently. When his parents were still there, he often had this experience when he fought with children in the neighboring village. Whenever he was nervous during the fight, his heart would be faster, his eyes were blurred, his breathing was rapid, and his whole body movements seemed to be unable to keep up with the rhythm.
This situation is happening now, which is not a good sign. Whenever he encounters this situation, the result of the fight always ends in his failure. At that time, he could not force his body to command his body. Every time his body was always half a beat slower, and he was repeatedly hit.
"No! No! My parents' revenge has not been avenged yet! I can't lose! Even if I die, I will kill a few damn robbers! If I lose, I will probably have to stay in the Imperial Guards for the rest of my life! I will never kill even a robber in my life!" Xu Wenru thought, "No, concentrate, imagine parents! Imagine those evil robbers! You can! Xu Wen, you can!"
Xu Wen kept cheering himself up, his anger rising in his chest. Gradually, he felt that the world he saw had slowed down instantly. Pang Hu rushed over and waved his fist slowly towards him as if he was performing. Xu Wen was confident that he could definitely avoid this punch.
"Bang!" Although he was confident and the anger in his chest was still burning, Xu Wen could not control his body. He was always slowing down for half a beat, as if he was a curse, and tied him firmly. He was still beaten hard on the face with a punch, and he flew backwards and rolled several times on the ground!
"A few teeth fell off... I... vomited blood? What a heavy fist! Why... Why can't I avoid it! I can! I can do it!" Xu Wen climbed up from the ground dizzyly, staggeringly holding his body, but he still staggered and couldn't control his balance. "Impossible! Why? Isn't it enough to be angry?"
Xu Wen, who was in chaos in his mind, was still extremely angry. The anger in his heart clearly pointed out what he was going to do next - since the defense was not successful, then go forward and attack!
His confused mind could not have imagined that attacking now would be like stepping forward and killing him!
But he did it anyway. He completely let go of his body and mind, and his consciousness could no longer control his wanton anger. Then, anger took over his body.
His speed was so fast that it was difficult to observe. Amid the screams of everyone, he rushed to Pang Hu and punched his lower abdomen with a very fast speed. Xu Wen only had his ten-man teaching him a few weaknesses in his human body, and subconsciously attacked his lower abdomen that could instantly lose combat ability due to pain.
But Pang Hu is not a mediocre person. He slightly retracted his lower abdomen and slapped his left hand down to block Xu Wen's attack. He was about to push the boy away with his right hand, but Xu Wen actually stepped forward and hit his chest with his head! Pang Hu quickly grabbed Xu Wen's head with his right palm and tried to push him away, but Xu Wen rushed behind Pang Hu like a monkey, exerted force with his legs, jumped suddenly, jumped onto Pang Hu's back, and wrapped his hands around Pang Hu's neck from behind, and strangled him desperately.
Pang Hu was so squeezed that he could not breathe, his face flushed. He wanted to pull Xu Wen's hand away but found that his strength became weaker as the oxygen supply decreased. He gave up the idea of breaking away from the boy, and fell back, trying to use his body and the acceleration of gravity when he fell to shake Xu Wen away.
Pang Hu's "punch" sounded, and the boy behind him disappeared.
Pang Hu felt the pain in his back and knew that the difficult boy had escaped before this, so he quickly stood up to defend.
But just as he was about to get up with a carp, a small fist that came towards him hit his face heavily.
Pang Hu's back once again had close contact with Dadi.
Pang Hu was covered in blood by this heavy punch, and he thought to himself that he was so powerful, why did this kid become a different person after being beaten twice by himself, and he was so capable of hitting him!
After thinking about it, Pang Hu's body moved and chose the necessary combat movements when necessary - just like the way Xu Wen used it just now, rolled aside twice and avoided Xu Wen's next attack.
But now Xu Wen's speed is extraordinary. He caught up with him while Pang Hu rolling. During the pursuit, he punched Pang Hu again, but he no longer had the previous strength.
Pang Hu was forced to get up after a few strokes, and found an opportunity to get up. He was puzzled when facing Xu Wen's increasingly weak attack, but he had never left any strength to deal with his opponent. Pang Hu, who had been beaten for so long, broke out again. He found a loophole in the gap between Xu Wen's fists and feet, and inserted his right palm heavily between Xu Wen's ribs.
The irrepressible pain instantly spread to Xu Wen's whole body. He bent down in pain and instinctively protected his ribs with both hands. Pang Hu seized the opportunity and raised his knee and kicked Xu Wen's jaw.
Xu Wen finally woke up from the shock of his head again. In the blurry field of vision, he only saw the sky rotating and rotating in front of his eyes.
He knew that he had failed!
Tears flowed down irresistibly, and then he fainted.
There was no usual clamor in my ears, nor the shouts of my comrades. There was darkness in front of me, and the only thing I could feel was the soft bed beneath me.
Xu Wen opened his eyes and woke up.
Chapter completed!
