Chapter 154: The first clues
In the end, Yan Zhongqi did not say why he wanted to compete with Yan Qing today.
It was as if he really just wanted to give Yan Qing a show of strength.
The next day, Yan Qing went to the school grounds for morning practice and met someone he had never seen before.
But the man greeted her with a smile: "Good morning, little general!"
Yan Qing was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously and said: "Morning."
Later, Yan Qing remembered that she had actually seen this person before.
Xu Mengcheng, Yan Zhongqi's deputy general. When she followed Yan Zhongqi and General Qin to the military camp yesterday, he was the first person she met.
General Qin did introduce him to her, but she was dragged to the school grounds by Yan Zhongqi afterwards, so she had no impression.
She remembered that this man didn't have this attitude when he saw her yesterday.
Xu Mengcheng was very proud of Yan Qing, who became the equal of Yan Zhongqi as soon as he entered the military camp.
Not convinced anymore.
Although Yan Qing's achievements were widely spread in the army, not many people could be convinced when they saw a childish little girl become their boss.
Xu Mengcheng is just one of the unconvinced people.
When we met him for the first time yesterday, his aloofness and aloofness in his words were no less than those of Yan Zhongqi.
This can probably be regarded as a certain extent of the upper beam being out of alignment and the lower beam being crooked?
But today, this man's attitude changed drastically. Not only did he greet her enthusiastically, he even followed her step by step, fearing that she would not be able to find her way to the school grounds.
The soldiers Yan Qing met along the way were also very different from yesterday's attitude of treating them as nothing, and they all said hello.
This made Yan Qing feel as if he was not in a military camp in the North, but back in Western Xinjiang.
When they arrived at the school grounds, Xu Mengcheng, who was hesitant to speak all the way, finally came to a realization.
"The general has been practicing spearmanship for many years, and he thinks he has no opponent. It wasn't until yesterday when he watched the young general and the general fight with each other that he knew what it meant to have someone else out there."
While Xu Mengcheng was speaking, he had already taken out two spears and looked at Yan Qing eagerly, "I wonder if the young general can give me some advice?"
"..."
Yan Qing was silent for a moment.
She didn't want to fight.
There was still time to rest during the march. Yesterday I competed with Yan Zhongqi, but there was no time to rest at all.
Even Yan Qing, who was accustomed to fighting, felt tired.
During today's morning exercise, she only planned to stretch her sore hands and feet, and did not plan to include physical training as usual.
Yan Zhongqi was even more surprised. Since he was a general, he sat directly on the troop ordering platform in the school field and only watched the soldiers below to practice.
It can be seen that Yan Qing is not the only one who was very tired yesterday.
When Xu Mengcheng saw Yan Qing looking at Yan Zhongqi who was sitting on the stage, he immediately understood and said quickly: "The final general has no intention of competing with the young general, he is just thinking..."
Xu Mengcheng paused and scratched his head in embarrassment, "I just want to ask the young general to see if there are any flaws in the general's marksmanship. It would be better if the young general is willing to teach the general one or two moves."
Having said that, Xu Mengcheng felt that his words were a little too shameless.
He is not acquainted and has no acquaintance, but he opens his mouth and keeps asking for advice on how to shoot and learn other people's moves. I don't think he would be able to say this if he is not thick-skinned.
Although there are many variations in marksmanship, most of them are learned by oneself. Unlike swordsmanship and swordsmanship, which have exclusive methods, there are still some masters who have their own original moves, which are used by others to beat others, and may even be a means to save lives.
Asking this is like asking for an heirloom from someone you’ve never met.
That's not asking for advice, that's calling robbing!
So as soon as Xu Mengcheng spoke, he added: "If the young general is willing to teach me, the general is willing to respect the young general as his teacher."
Xu Mengcheng spoke solemnly and sincerely, which frightened Yan Qing for a moment.
Being a teacher is not a big deal.
"Since we are colleagues, we can teach and learn from each other so that we can better protect our family and the country. This is a good thing, but it does not rise to the level of becoming a master or apprentice in martial arts."
Yan Qing took the spear and expressed his attitude, "Why don't you find someone to compete with you first? Let me see how your basics are first?"
Xu Mengcheng was so happy that he immediately ran to the west side of the school ground and called over the instructor who was leading a group of soldiers to practice.
When the soldiers under the two men saw the excitement, they wanted to come over and watch. Some were even brave enough to apply to their instructors to watch the battle under the guise of studying.
The instructor looked at Yan Zhongqi, and Yan Zhongqi was right.
The price is that the two teams will be left alone for supplementary training.
Immediately, a crowd of people screamed and quickly and orderly sat down to watch.
As soon as everyone sat down, Yan Qing, Xu Mengcheng, who were standing in the center, and the coach who was pulled out by Xu Mengcheng, immediately stood out from the crowd.
Yan Qing found a place with the best view and squatted among the soldiers to watch the battle.
In the surrounded open space, Xu Mengcheng and the instructor each held a spear and attacked each other.
From time to time, cheers erupted from the surrounding area.
The lively atmosphere made Yan Qing seem to have returned to the days when he was training with his brothers in the military camp in Xijiang.
After several days in a row, Yan Qing practiced with the Qin family army in the military camp, and from time to time gave instructions to one or two people on marksmanship and martial arts. He soon became one with the Qin family army and established a firm foothold in the Qin family army.
The purpose that Yan Zhongqi took her to spar for a day that day has now been fully revealed and achieved perfectly.
If there hadn't been an equal discussion with Yan Zhongqi that day, the attitude of everyone in the Qin family army towards him would not have changed so quickly.
If she wants to gain a place in the Qin family army, she will definitely need to put in more effort.
But Yan Zhongqi's move directly made everyone recognize her ability, and then in the subsequent interactions, they affirmed her character, and this is why everyone in the Qin family army quickly accepted her.
But when Yan Qing went to thank Yan Zhongqi, he still had a cold face and insisted unhappily that he just wanted to give Yan Qing a blow.
Yan Qing didn't bother to expose him, but he believed what the ANBU said, that this man had a cold face and a warm heart.
After the Qin family army established a firm foothold, Yan Qing also looked for opportunities and obtained a list of people who had access to the border patrol route in the North, and conducted a one-by-one investigation with Yan Qi.
Nothing useful was found at first. It was not until the second screening that the ANBU discovered that there was something abnormal about the death of one of them.
Xu Siqian, a clerk in the Beidi government office, went to the largest tavern in the city of Beidi and got very drunk a few afternoons ago. On the morning of the third day, he was found by people clearing snow on the street, freezing to death in a pile.
Snow.
This wasn't a big deal originally.
