He knew that General Huo was famous, but he didn't expect that Huo Xinyan was so powerful and even Ruan Xiuran admired her so much.
It was already very difficult for a woman to achieve this in this era. What was even more surprising was that General Huo actually allowed a woman to travel with the army. Han Xiao remembered that there seemed to be a clear ban on women traveling with the army.
While Han Xiao was lost in thought, General Huo took them to a place similar to a martial arts arena.
There were two burly men standing there, staring at each other angrily, and it was obvious that neither of them was willing to submit to the other.
Ruan Xiuran became interested and asked General Huo if he could stop and watch the excitement for a while. Han Xiao also wanted to see what the combat power of the soldiers in this ancient army was like.
General Huo was just taking them for a casual walk, and when he saw that they wanted to see something, he found a better spot. When a soldier saw General Huo coming, he brought over a few chairs for them to sit down.
As soon as Ruan Xiuran sat down, he leaned his head to look at the ring. Two big men on the ring were fighting with bare hands, and every punch hit the flesh. Han Xiao had seen boxing matches on TV in modern times.
After all, it was through a screen, and although it was very enjoyable to watch, there was always something missing. Now I am immersed in it, and the cheers around me are full of male hormones.
Even if Han Xiao was calm, he was excited at this moment. Ruan Xiuran was even more so. He jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Okay, okay, give him another round..."
Han Xiao held his forehead helplessly. The fight on the ring was nearing its end. One of the big men had already fallen on the ring, gasping for breath and unable to stand up.
"How is it?" General Huo suddenly asked when he saw Han Xiao was watching seriously.
Han Xiao came back to his senses, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said sincerely: "Both of them are very strong."
Han Xiao was not making this up. They were indeed very strong. If he went up to them, he would probably be knocked to the ground in just two moves.
Fighting was not his forte, Han Xiao touched his nose to comfort himself.
"Then why don't you give it a try? A man should be brave enough to try. Han Que has already fought several battles. As his brother, shouldn't you set an example for him?" General Huo said to Han Xiao meaningfully.
Han Xiao: “…”
No matter who he goes up to fight, he won't be able to beat anyone. Close combat is not Han Xiao's strong point, and he is even worse at using weapons. These soldiers are all elites who have been on the battlefield. Wouldn't it be a shame for a little ruffian like him to go up and fight with them?
"Forget it. I don't know martial arts, and all my moves are just fancy moves. I won't go up and embarrass myself." Han Xiao said a little embarrassedly.
General Huo did not force him. Seeing that Han Xiao was unwilling, he just nodded slightly.
But Ruan Xiuran couldn't help himself and asked carefully: "General Huo, if Han Xiao doesn't go, can I go?"
Han Xiao knew that Ruan Xiuran was very fond of martial arts. If he was not the only one in the Ruan family, he would have secretly run to the battlefield long ago.
So when Ruan Xiuran asked this time, Han Xiao was not surprised. He just agreed and said, "General Huo, I think Xiuran can give it a try. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Let him see that there are always people better than you."
"There is always someone better than you. You are right. Then go and give it a try. You can choose anyone here." General Huo obviously agreed with what Han Xiao said.
He has been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, so he still has some insight. Ruan Xiu Ran is good but lacks actual combat experience. This opportunity can be a good opportunity for him to gain some training.
When Ruan Xiuran heard General Huo's agreement, he immediately stood up and saluted: "Thank you, General Huo."
After saying that, he began to look for his opponent under the ring, but the person he wanted to challenge most was Huo Xinyan.
After a round of inspection, Ruan Xiuran saw Huo Xinyan standing opposite with the young master. His eyes lit up and he ran to Huo Xinyan and said, "General Huo, can you...can you..."
The words were on the tip of his tongue but Ruan Xiuran was a little unable to say them.
The young master looked at Ruan Xiuran's hesitant look and thought that he wanted to ask Huo Xinyan for help with something.
Huo Xinyan stepped forward, walked in front of Ruan Xiuran, looked him over, and said gently, "You want to fight me."
"Oh, yes, no...no...no, I want to ask you for advice." Ruan Xiu Ran said, grabbing his hair awkwardly.
I secretly despised myself in my heart, wondering how I could not even handle such a small matter.
The other soldiers who were watching were so disappointed when they heard that this arrogant young master dared to challenge their General Huo.
The ruffians immediately looked at Ruan Xiuran with pity. What a good young man, but he was about to be beaten up by the little devil in their army.
But no one dared to speak. It was not uncommon for people to say that Huo Xinyan liked to act weak, but those who did so basically lay in the tent for half a month before they dared to get out of bed.
From then on, no one dared to whisper behind my back.
"That's good. It just so happens that I haven't been active for a long time." Huo Xinyan walked onto the stage first and waited for Ruan Xiuran in the center of the stage.
When Ruan Xiuran saw that Huo Xinyan agreed, his face was overjoyed and the corners of his mouth were grinning from ear to ear.
He then followed Huo Xinyan onto the stage, and when he saw the clothes Huo Xinyan was wearing, he hesitated and said, "Young General, do you want to change your clothes?"
What Huo Xinyan was wearing at this moment was exactly the kind of clothes that the young ladies in the boudoirs of Beijing wore on a daily basis. It was gorgeous, grand, complicated and beautiful, but it had one drawback, which was that it was inconvenient.
Wide robes with large sleeves can easily block vision.
Huo Xinyan shook her head gently, stretched out her soft hand and said, "No, you can choose a weapon."
Ruan Xiuran was not too confident, as he knew Huo Xinyan was not easy to deal with, so he went to the weapon rack next to him and chose a spear that he was best at.
But Huo Xinyan's hands were empty.
The young master was extremely worried. He quietly walked to Han Xiao's side, took Han Xiao's hand and said, "Sister Xinyan, will she be okay?"
When General Huo heard the young master's worried words, he patted his head and told him to sit down and calm down: "Don't worry, Xinyan won't use any harsh measures on such a young man."
The young master was stunned for a moment. He wanted to say that he was not worried about Ruan Xiuran, but about Huo Xinyan.
Ruan Xiuran has been learning martial arts for more than ten years. Huo Xinyan is a few years older than him, but she is a girl after all. The young master is worried that Ruan Xiuran will hurt Huo Xinyan if he doesn't control his strength.
Han Xiao also came over to comfort the young master: "Don't worry, General Huo is right. General Huo grew up on the battlefield. Xiu Ran might not be her opponent."
Even if Han Xiao didn't particularly like Huo Xinyan, he couldn't speak against his conscience at this time.
