The new recruits in the audience looked up at He Yan.
The previous dozen moves were too short for them to tell who had the upper hand, but now there was no need for others to explain too much. He Yan pushed Jiang Jiao to the edge of the martial arts stage and almost fell off. Jiang Jiao lost.
This young man actually won again.
"Brother He is so amazing," Xiao Mai murmured, "He is getting more and more amazing."
Hong Shan shook his head and said, "This kid never told us that he could do this."
"This isn't his first time practicing with a gun." Shitou was silent for a while, then spoke up, "So that guy couldn't beat him."
"But that's not right," Hong Shan was puzzled. "Ah He is a young master whose family has fallen on hard times. They are a wealthy family. Is it normal for them to practice bow and crossbow at home?"
He Yan heard the whispers of the recruits below the stage. This was a great opportunity. She slammed her spear to the ground, took two steps forward, and said, "Brothers, I won again today."
She said this without trying to hide the smugness on her face, it was even a little exaggerated, which was a bit glaring.
"What does this kid want to do?" Du Mao asked.
No one knows what He Yan wants to do.
He Yan smiled and said, "I think there will probably be people who want to challenge me in the future. Don't worry that I won't accept the challenge. I will never refuse anyone. But I will only fight once a day."
Coach Liang's mouth twitched, "Does this guy think he is setting up the ring?"
The champion He Yansi didn't care about the eyes of others and said to herself: "Whistle knife, infantry, long spear, swordsmanship, horseback archery, all the soldiers in the camp can challenge me. Don't worry, I won't accept your dry biscuits if you win, come if you are willing."
Even though we know that this young man has special skills, his attitude is indeed a bit arrogant.
"Too arrogant, how can there be such a person!"
"You are not humble at all. You just won the bow and spear by chance, but you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."
"Is it possible that in such a large Liangzhou Guard, there is no one more powerful than him? There are tens of thousands of men, but not a single one who can fight?"
He Yan smiled softly, thinking, it's not that there aren't some who can fight, it's just that the best fighter simply doesn't bother to fight her.
She said, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. All the coaches and brothers are here today, and I, He Yan, will keep my word! If I win, it will be just a competition. If I lose, you brothers can make any demands. However," she seemed a little embarrassed, "that should be impossible."
It would have been better if she didn't say anything. Once she said it, the recruits immediately burst into anger.
"He really underestimates us!"
"When we were guarding Liangzhou, we all said that ten fingers have different lengths. This kid thinks he is good at everything. Does he think he is General Feng Yun?"
"Forget it, forget it. Just wait and see. He'll get his comeuppance in a few days!"
He Yan put on a very arrogant attitude on stage before walking slowly off stage. Before leaving, he seemed to remember something and said to Jiang Jiao who was standing at the side with an uncertain look, "Actually, you are very good at using the spear."
Jiang Jiao was stunned and looked at her, not understanding what she meant.
"But you met me, and I'm the best." She walked off the stage with a laugh, no longer looking at Jiang Jiao's expression.
On the other side, Du Mao's face was as gloomy as water. There was nothing wrong with He Yan competing with Jiang Jiao, but He Yan had just killed Jiang Jiao so ruthlessly that Jiang Jiao might never recover, which was not what he wanted to see. He patted Liang Ping's shoulder and went to Jiang Jiao first, intending to persuade this new recruit who was defeated in his first try, so as not to lose a good seedling.
…
In the attic next to the martial arts arena.
“Uncle, my brother He won again!” Cheng Lisu, who had seen everything, jumped up and pointed in the direction of He Yan, as if he was the one who had just won the gunfight. He kept praising him, “He is really amazing, no one can beat him!”
Xiao Jue glanced at him, too lazy to pay attention to him, and turned to walk out.
Cheng Lisu remembered something and quickly ran to Xiao Jue's side, jumping around, "Uncle, look at him! He's number one in bows and crossbows, number one in spearmanship, and he'll be number one in whip swords and other things in the future. He's the number one in Liangzhou Guards... the number one except for you, right?"
"Let's talk about it after he gets first place." Xiao Jue responded to his enthusiasm indifferently.
"He has already won two first places! It will be a long time before he wins the other first places. And two first places is already very impressive, isn't it? Uncle, look at him. How many people in the world can be so talented? Isn't he worthy of joining your Nine Flags Camp? Uncle, look at him!"
Xiao Jue paused and looked at him.
Cheng Lisu was delighted, thinking that he had persuaded Xiao Jue. The next moment, Xiao Jue stared into his eyes and slowly spoke: "You have mentioned He Yan frequently recently, and mentioned the Nine Banners Camp twice. You never paid attention to the Nine Banners Camp before," he said calmly, "Cheng Lisu, are you trying to facilitate He Yan's joining the Nine Banners Camp?"
Cheng Lisu's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was wrong. This uncle was very smart and suspected him as soon as he saw the slightest clue. He said, "No, no, I just want you to pay more attention to my eldest brother."
Xiao Jue: "Do you think I'm stupid, or are you smart?"
Cheng Lisu looked at him for a moment, then hung his head dejectedly, "I was stupid..."
"How do you know about the Nine Flags Camp?" Xiao Jue asked him.
The beautiful young man had a calm look, showing no sign of anger, but Cheng Lisu felt a chill run down his spine. He answered honestly, "I used to live next door to you, and heard Chief Instructor Shen talking to you. I knew that the Nine Banners Battalion was planning to recruit from the new recruits at the Liangzhou Garrison, so..."
Xiao Jue chuckled and mocked, "So you took this news and couldn't wait to please your 'big brother'?"
"No, no, I really care about you, uncle." Cheng Lisu hastily denied, "I have nothing to do every day, so I walk around and take a look at the new recruits of Liangzhou Guards. Only Brother He can reach the threshold of the Nine Banners Camp. Others can't even beat Brother He, so how can they join your elite cavalry? I am also loyal!"
After a moment of silence, Xiao Jue asked, "What did he say?"
"Ah?" Cheng Lisu was stunned at first, then realized that Xiao Jue's "he" was referring to He Yan, and said, "After I told Brother He about this, Brother He seemed very happy. Moreover, he said he wanted to join the Nine Banners Camp."
"He said 'yes'?" Xiao Jue asked slowly.
Cheng Lisu shrank his neck, feeling a chill inexplicably, and nodded, "Yes, I want to... Is there something wrong?"
Xiao Jue chuckled, and his clear eyes were filled with inexplicable emotions. After a moment, he lowered his expression and said lightly, "This person is very courageous and ambitious."

Does Cheng Lisu, who recommended Yanyan to his uncle, look like you who recommends idols to your friends?
