The news that the guard regiment was going to recruit new members spread like wildfire.
I heard that Chief Mei personally tested the new recruits, and everyone who wasn't on duty came to watch the spectacle.
The location was the open space in front of Chief Mei's special plane.
The three people and three animals stood out in the crowd, their appearance and temperament making it hard for them to go unnoticed.
Before coming, not wanting to stand out too much, I deliberately wore an old camouflage uniform.
But their inner qualities cannot be concealed. They are not spies, nor have they done anything shameful, so there is no need for them to make themselves look disheveled.
His fit physique, rosy complexion, superior living conditions, and natural composure and confidence made him seem extraordinary to a group of soldiers who struggled to even get enough to eat.
Waterfall was unhappy because it hadn't eaten. With its rabbit-like face drooping, it grumbled and complained to Zuo Ling.
The dog was friendly and never got bored. When the soldiers looked at it, it would look at them back. When it heard someone compliment its good looks, it would beam with pride and bark occasionally to show that it could handle the praise and that they could continue.
The little wolf was naturally proud and aloof, unable to withstand too much enthusiasm. His whole body tensed up, and his cold, rejecting eyes shone with a chilling light.
The soldiers whispered among themselves; some looked at the dogs, some at the wolves, and the more ambitious ones looked at the people.
The adjutant blew the assembly whistle, and the idle soldiers immediately changed their demeanor, their steps quickening and their spirits soaring.
Chief Mei said to Xiao Hao:
"Everyone's assembled. You can choose any one of them. If you win one game, I'll promote you to lieutenant. If you can't win a single game, well, then you'll start as a private."
Chief Mei's words caused a stir.
Will Xiao Hao be promoted to lieutenant if he wins a single game?
Who is Xiao Hao? The leader offered him such generous terms!
The guards were indignant. Why should they?
They exchanged glances, determined not to let this kid get away with it so easily.
A tacit understanding formed. The soldiers were holding their breath, none of them even a private, yet they dared to dream of becoming officers—no way! No way!! No way!!
There's not only no door, but there aren't even any windows!
Wherever there are people, I hate these people who have connections from who-knows-where. Why should you get something that others can't get in their entire lives so easily?
That's unfair! It's so unfair!!
The soldiers silently formed a united front.
Don't underestimate me. If I can't win a single game, I'll be too ashamed to come here!
Xiao Hao was unaware that he had already incurred public wrath before even joining the guard regiment.
He stretched out his finger, drew a circle, leaped over the queue, and finally fixed it on the soldier who was aiming his gun at the dog and the waterfall.
"I choose him."
Xiao Hao has a childlike heart; he considers the two little ones as family. Of course, he wouldn't miss the chance to teach a lesson to the person who pointed a gun at his family.
The lowest-ranking officer to personally protect a military leader is a sergeant of the sixth rank.
The soldier was stunned for a moment, then realized that Xiao Hao was retaliating for what had happened before, and his face turned cold.
The adjutant ordered, "Liang soldiers, step forward to meet the enemy."
Liang Bing put down his gun, removed his equipment, and walked to the center of the field with a cold face.
Dog and Waterfall forcibly boarded the leader's private plane. He didn't shoot them on the spot, only because they were brought by the leader's orderly.
As a result, I was still targeted, which inevitably caused some resentment.
Without exchanging pleasantries, you stare at me, I'm wary of you, both of us exchanging cold air, intending to intimidate each other with our presence first.
Xiao Hao wanted to show off his skills in front of everyone, so he made the first move.
After fighting with Indians for several months, I learned a lot about fighting and became quite adept at it.
After seven or eight rounds, Liang Bing was caught off guard and kicked away by Xiao Hao.
Those who make it into the guard regiment are all handpicked.
Liang Bing hadn't expected that he would be kicked away when he wasn't paying attention. He hardened his heart, got up and fought again.
Although Xiao Hao wasn't short, you could still tell he looked like a child. Liang Bing felt very aggrieved that he had been kicked away by a child.
The dog barked excitedly, but Waterfall was petty and held grudges. It tried to clap its paws, but its movements were uncoordinated, and its two paws just wouldn't come together.
Ah Si looked at us with disdain. "This is how you dare to point a gun at us? You're asking for it."
Thump, thump, thump...
The ensuing battles were hardly interesting; Liang Bing was either knocked down or kicked away.
The first time was due to underestimating the opponent, the second time it was due to not adjusting one's mindset, the third time it was due to carelessness, the fourth time... there's really no good reason to blame.
The adjutant's face was grim.
The soldiers in the guard regiment were all handpicked by him, and their skills were among the best in the entire army.
He was taken down in just a few rounds, which embarrassed the adjutant and made him look like he hadn't done his job well.
Besides, the other party is only a 13-year-old child.
Liang Bing stood up unsteadily, preparing to launch another attack, but was stopped by his adjutant.
The gap is too large; continuing to fight will only lead to humiliation.
Chief Mei smiled and clapped his hands:
"Not bad, not bad, you've got some skills. I keep my word, I'll have someone process your onboarding right away."
Whether he can win or not, he will find a way to keep Xiao Hao by his side.
Sending Xiao Hao to fight the guards was just an attempt to silence certain people in the military.
Xiao Hao, without batting an eye, thought to himself, if all the guards in the regiment were at Liang Bing's level, they would be too weak. Even if ten more came, they wouldn't be enough for him to fight.
Pei Nansheng helps Liang Bing out of the predicament:
“That older brother can’t beat you, not because he’s not capable, but because he’s been starving for a long time, and his reflexes and stamina are no longer up to par. Under the same conditions, you might not be his match.”
Xiao Hao intended to teach Liang Bing a lesson, and he didn't hold back. Pei Nansheng didn't want Xiao Hao to make enemies as soon as he arrived.
Seeing Liang Bing being kicked away time and time again was unpleasant for everyone. Pei Nansheng's words made not only Liang Bing but also the other guards look much better.
