Many new recruits rushed forward to try to get close to Liu Wei.
All he opened his mouth was full of praise and flattery.
"Brother Liu, among the more than 30 people in our cooking camp, you are the most gifted in martial arts!"
"Yes, yes. Instructor Zhang praised him personally a few days ago. I think Brother Liu will definitely be the first in this assessment."
"Hey Brother Liu, when you join the army, don't forget us brothers. You have to take care of us when the time comes."
Liu Wei felt a little elated, and was pretending to be modest, but in fact he was already beaming with joy in his heart.
This feeling of being the center of attention was so wonderful that he enjoyed it immensely.
"No.1, I am No.1! The others are nothing!"
However, at this moment, a loud and excited voice suddenly came from outside the barracks: "Brother He, now I wonder who dares to compete with you for the first place in this assessment!!"
This sudden shout instantly shattered Liu Wei's originally good mood.
Towards the entrance of the courtyard, Xia He and Wang Erpang were struggling to carry a whole load of wild boar meat as heavy as a mountain and walking slowly. They were just passing by.
After all, I had taken a day off, so it was impossible for me to go back to the camp on purpose.
But Wang Erpang couldn't help it, so he spoke loudly on purpose to attract the attention of the people inside.
As expected, when the recruits heard the noise, they were all shocked and quickly gathered around to watch the fun.
"Er Pang, where did the pork come from? Did the military camp give it to us to improve our food?"
"Fuck you, do you think you can live like this? This is a monster pig from the mountain. It has eaten people before! Brother He hunted it down himself!"
Wang Erpang has always been a big talker. He excitedly described Xia He's heroic deeds of hunting wild boars in the mountains in a vivid and lifelike manner.
But someone immediately expressed doubts and found it unbelievable, but how could Wang Erpang be willing to show weakness?
He immediately jumped out and loudly refuted: "Don't you disbelieve it! Even the captain knows our brother He's name, and he even specially rewarded him with a precious low-level martial arts book!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces suddenly showed a look of surprise and doubt.
Even the chief minister was alarmed? !
A low-level martial arts book was also awarded!
Even though it’s only low-level, the people here have never seen any martial arts before.
The basics of soldiers are not even low-level martial arts, even Liu Wei and Wang Erpang have never seen it.
Generally, only military households that have made contributions and are appreciated by their superiors, such as the thousand households or generals, have the opportunity to have access to such information.
At this moment, Liu Wei saw that the beautiful scene he had created with great difficulty was snatched away by Xia He so easily, and the anger in his heart was about to burst out.
His face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it, and his eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness.
It turns out that this kid didn’t leave!
It turned out that he had gone to the mountains to hunt wild boars when he was away for a day!
Even those who had previously flattered and praised him were keenly aware of Liu Wei's gloomy and oppressive aura. They involuntarily moved their feet slightly and distanced themselves from Liu Wei.
"How can this guy be so lucky!"
At this time, the crowd was making a lot of noise and was about to get into a big argument with Wang Erpang.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the cook's camp, and then several soldiers wearing leather armor walked quickly towards them.
As soon as these people appeared, they began to harshly scold the noisy crowd.
For a moment, the whole scene fell silent, and everyone was terrified.
Then, with a friendly smile on their faces, several people walked up to Xia He and said to him, "Boy, our captain would like to invite you to drink. When are you free?"
"Hmm? If you want to drink, go to my master's place first!"
"You're looking for a fight! How dare you snatch it from me! Get out of here!"
These words were like a thunderclap, exploding among the crowd. People who were originally skeptical about what Wang Erpang said finally believed everything he said!
Although a hundred households are not as good as a thousand households, they are also officers in the military camp. Now that they have personally sent people to invite Xia He, they want to drink and chat with him! And there are several of them!
What does this mean? There is no doubt that Xia He has become a dark horse in this recruit camp!
Liu Wei originally still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that Wang Erpang was just talking nonsense.
However, at this moment, the cruel reality was like a basin of ice water, poured mercilessly on his head, instantly extinguishing most of the pride and anger in his heart.
An invisible huge pressure enveloped him like an airtight net, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He could only clench his fists tightly, his nails digging deeply into his palms, but he felt no pain at all.
In the end, Liu Wei turned away without saying a word, his face grim, leaving behind an unwilling but lonely back.
No one cares about Liu Wei's departure!
"Master Baihu?"
Xia He was shocked. How could he not see that these captains were trying to win him over?
Hunting wild boars was not enough to make them do so, mainly because everyone in the military camp had seen it before and had received praise from the captain.
If he agreed now, he might be able to get rid of his slave status immediately without even having to take any test.
But he was a complete stranger to these centurions, and Xia He had no idea who they were.
I guess they are trying to win him over just to please the Lord Qianhu, and if they agree to any one of them, they will offend the others, which is not worth the loss.
