Out of Beiping City, looking northeast for more than a hundred miles, there is a small mountain valley with stunning scenery. The mountains here are gentle, and there is an endless birch forest on the hillside, with only a small stream flowing through it.

It winds down from the batik-like white tree trunks and flows into the Huairou Camp located in a small mountain valley.

It is late autumn at this time, the sky is blue and high, the clouds are as white as snow, and the hillsides are golden all over. The autumn wind blows the leaves shining with golden sunshine, spreading the leaves in groups to the sky, to the streams, and to the mountains.

's camp.

The stream flows in from the west of Yingying and exits from the east. The fallen leaves on the water are like little drops of gold. When they reunite with the golden butterflies dancing in the air, they float away together with the wind.

This breathtaking white birch tree slope is also called Qiufeng Ridge by the locals.

Everyone knows that when the last leaf falls on Qiufeng Ridge, winter will come.

Lan Qiao had just arrived, and the scandals in the city had not yet had a chance to spread to this remote and beautiful hill. As a "new official", the first thing he had to do was to establish his authority.

Facing the doubtful or provocative looks of the soldiers, he calmly poured a large bowl of water and placed it on the ground in front of him.

"As of sunset today, you can use any method, any means, as long as this bowl of water spills a drop, I will slap my ass and leave." He made a bold statement.

"Who doesn't know how to brag?" A brave soldier didn't even wait for him to finish his words and already swept towards the water bowl.

Lan Qiao casually sent out a blast of palm wind, and the warrior immediately felt as if his feet were kicking against an invisible wall. No matter how hard he exerted his force, he could no longer overcome it by an inch.

He casually grabbed a big knife and slashed at the water bowl with the strong wind. However, he suddenly felt his hand heavy. It turned out that Lan Qiao had pinched it with a technique like pinching a flower.

"This guy is evil, brothers, come together!" The soldier threw down his sword angrily and called on several soldiers who were usually close friends to attack him together.

They were either holding knives and guns, or throwing stones and darts. Lan Qiao sat with his bare hands, using his fingers and palms to block the water at will, refusing to let anyone touch the bowl of water.

"Don't worry, it's still early. You can't even handle this little thing. No wonder you were assigned to count leaves here." Lan Qiao said with a smile, "We consume so much food every day, if we don't show some skills, I think this will happen.

Huairou Camp might as well be disbanded."

At the same time, Hua Yuxi regarded herself as the assistant of the new commander Lan Qiao, and asked the soldiers one by one, writing down everyone's name, birth date, address and some notable characteristics. Although the soldiers were impatient, they saw that she was young and beautiful.

It is difficult to refuse, so most people just give a perfunctory answer.

Soon they discovered that Hua Yuxi only asked people one by one to ask questions, and did not take any paper or pen to record, so they became a little confused. One of them asked: "You asked us so many questions and didn't remember them. Why are you teasing us?"

"I've recorded it all here." Hua Yuxi tapped her head with her fingers and said, "Your name is Guo Liyuan, your nickname is Tieniu, and you are left-handed." She then told the person's birthday and address in the city, and sure enough, it was the same as that person's birth date and address in the city.

The man's answer was word for word.

Seeing the other people's expressions of disbelief, Hua Yuxi calmly said their names. They were so many treasures that they immediately aroused a gasp of amazement.

Lan Qiao sat cross-legged in front of the bowl of water, and even closed his eyes, judging the space around the bowl of water entirely based on the feelings in his heart.

From morning to sunset, there were hundreds of soldiers from the Huairou Battalion who came to challenge, but no one could touch the edge of the bowl of water. Some even came up with crooked ideas and tiptoed from behind the Blue Bridge without touching the bowl.

Water, but sneak attack on Lanqiao himself.

Unexpectedly, Lan Qiao looked like he had eyes on the back of his head, and with a lightning-like wave of his palm, he immediately cut off the spear in the man's hand with his sword.

Another soldier took the opportunity to lift a large stone weighing more than 30 kilograms and threw it at the water bowl. Seeing that Lan Qiao's hand was too late to save him, he unexpectedly spit out a strong wind from his mouth.

He just pushed the big stone two inches away and fell to the side with a thud.

There were also several soldiers who formed a battle formation and approached the water bowl while covering each other, trying to overturn the water bowl by relying on their numbers.

Lan Qiao casually picked up a small branch and used "Xia Man Dongfang" just above the water bowl. However, he saw the shadow of branches everywhere. No matter which direction the soldiers were attacking from, the weapons in their hands would always be swept away by Lan Qiao's branches.

, and all those who were swept away were shocked to the point that their hands were numb, and they had no choice but to give up.

When the sun set over the Western Mountains, all the soldiers saw that the bowl of water was still placed in front of Lan Qiao without moving. They knew that Lan Qiao's kung fu was unfathomable, and they all respected him.

"Don't think of me as a good old man, and don't try to fool me." Lan Qiao finally summoned the soldiers to the square in front of the commander's platform, and said loudly in the mountain pass: "In the following days, I will train you in the most severe way.

Anyone who does not meet my requirements will go home. There is no free food for you in Huairou Camp. As for those who violate military laws and disciplines, they will be dealt with according to military laws and will not be lenient. Listen clearly!"

"Listen clearly!" the soldiers shouted in unison.

That night, Lan Qiao wrote a letter in the commander's tent, briefly describing what happened in the camp on his first day in office, and sent someone back to Peking for Zhu Gaochi to read.

As soon as he put down his pen, he heard Hua Yuxi calling outside the tent: "Sir, can I come in?"

Lan Qiao stuffed the letter into the envelope and said without raising his head: "You can just come in directly from now on, there is no need to report to the door."

"The slave family is not afraid. If the young master is doing something shameful, why don't the slave family bump into him?" Hua Yuxi said as she opened the curtain and entered the tent.

Lan Qiao glared and said, "What do I have to be ashamed of?"

"Who knows." Hua Yuxi shrugged and said with a sly smile: "After all, you and Xiaoye have been separated for a while. Who knows what you will think when you are alone at night."

Lan Qiao curled his lips angrily and changed the subject: "Why are you here with me?"

"I would like to ask, where should I sleep at night?"

Only then did Lan Qiao realize that no one had prepared a small tent for Hua Yuxi, and asked curiously: "What happened? Didn't you tell the quartermaster? It doesn't take much effort to put up the small tent. A few people did it quickly."

"I said that."

"what did you say?"

"I asked him if I could sleep in the handsome tent too."

Lan Qiao was startled: "What do you mean?"

Hua Yuxi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't forget the scandal that King Xiao Yan and the others created for you. The more proactive I am towards you and the more enthusiastic I am, the more I can bring out your prestige. The scandal has not spread to the camp yet.

, when the news arrives, we can’t let them see the flaw, right?”

"Okay." Lan Qiao said helplessly, "Then what did he say?"

"He asked me what my relationship is to you, whether I am your concubine."

"how do you say?"

"I said..." Hua Yuxi paused for a moment, bit her lip and said, "Not yet."

Lan Qiao savored the profound meaning of her words, pondered for a moment and said, "Then you sleep in this tent, and I can just find a place outside to sleep for the night."

Hua Yuxi was startled and said, "Are you going to avoid me?"

"Aren't you trying to show off your prestige? Compared with having our Sister Hua come to your doorstep, wouldn't the most prestige thing be to refuse to do it? You have a good rest, we will be busy tomorrow." Lan Qiao said with a smile and lifted the curtain.

And out.

Hua Yuxi looked at his back that disappeared in the night, stamped her feet and cursed secretly: "The kitten still knows how to steal fish, what a stupid fish!"

Seeing the little spirit circling around her feet, she squatted down and stroked its fur: "You better be good, come and sleep with me."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ling let out a "ouch" and broke away from her touch. She looked at the direction in which Lan Qiao was going and ran out.
