After leaving the residence of Xiong Kuohai and others, Ma Xiaoyao did not rush back to the training square, but went directly to the residence of Commander Guan Yi.
"Eh? Why are you here, Ma Xiaoyao? Is there something wrong?" Guan Yi asked doubtfully.
"Reporting to the Chief of Thousands, I have invented a new training method, and I would like to ask the Chief to give some advice..." Ma Xiaoyao said respectfully.
"A new training method?" Guan Yi raised his eyebrows: "Did you invent it?"
"Well... you can't say that I invented it. I borrowed some training methods from outside..." Ma Xiaoyao said sheepishly.
"The training methods outside..." Guan Yi nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, I'll go with you and have a look. I hope you won't disappoint me." As soon as he spoke, Guan Yi stood up and took big steps.
Walk towards the door.
Ma Xiaoyao hurriedly followed.
A moment later, Guan Yi arrived at the training square. He glanced around and frowned: "Is this the new training method you called?" Hundreds of soldiers were sitting lazily on the ground, chatting in groups.
Spanking, where does it look like training?
Ma Xiaoyao's face darkened: "How dare these guys be lazy! When I was there, they trained very seriously, but I didn't expect that as soon as I walked away, they started to be lazy on the back! It's really unreasonable!"
"Ah! Lord Commander is here..."
"Get up quickly! Lord Centurion is here... Everyone, get up quickly..."
"Why did Lord Qian Fu come here?"
"I guess it was that Ma Xiaoyao who invited me... What does Ma Xiaoyao want to do?"
"Let's go, hurry up and salute."
…
Seeing Guan Yi suddenly appear in the square, the soldiers who were chatting and spanking suddenly panicked and hurriedly stood up and ran over to salute Guan Yi.
Before Guan Yi could say anything, Ma Xiaoyao began to scold loudly: "You are so brave! You are lazy during training time. Who gave you such courage! Ah! Do you still have military regulations in your eyes?
Do you still have the Lord Chief in your eyes? I think you are going to rebel!!"
"No...we have been training...but we were a little tired just now, so we stopped to rest for a while..." a soldier explained hurriedly.
"Tired? Take a rest?" Ma Xiaoyao snorted coldly: "I see your faces are all red, but where is the trace of tiredness?"
"We were really tired just now... and now we have rested..." Xiao Bing still wanted to explain.
"Shut up!"
Guan Yi shouted angrily and stared at the soldier opposite with a pair of cold eyes: "Do you really think I am a three-year-old child? Am I so easy to fool? You are really courageous. You were lazy during training and I caught you.
I still refuse to admit it in the future... It seems that I have been too kind to you recently, so that you don't even know your last name!"
Seeing Guan Yi getting angry, these soldiers turned pale with fright and no longer dared to defend themselves.
"Where are the ten captains? Where have they gone?" Guan Yihe asked.
"The ten captains and the others... are all... all sick..." a soldier boldly replied.
"Sick? All ten people are sick? What a coincidence!" Guan Yi snorted coldly: "What disease are they suffering from?"
"...Wind-cold...They all suffered from the wind-cold..." Xiao Bing said hesitantly.
Guan Yi turned to look at Ma Xiaoyao: "Is everything they said true? Are all ten captains sick?"
"This... I don't know the specific situation. I just got the news... I heard from these soldiers that the ten men were seriously ill and they all got out of bed... I was thinking about going to visit later.
For a moment... After all, I am their boss, and my subordinate is sick, and he is seriously ill. As a boss, I should go and visit him out of emotion and reason..." Ma Xiaoyao said with a bitter smile.
Guan Yi frowned: "Let me go and see it with you."
"Ah..." Ma Xiaoyao was startled: "There is no need to trouble Sir Qian Fu with such a trivial matter..."
Guan Yi waved his hand: "They are your subordinates, and they are also my subordinates. It is reasonable and reasonable for me to go and visit them."
"Then... okay." Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Go now?"
"Let's go." Guan nodded, raised his feet and left the square.
Ma Xiaoyao felt happy, hehe... now there is something good to watch!
…
"It's broken! The ten captains and the others are all pretending to be ill... If the captain finds out... the consequences will be terrible..."
"Let's go report the news quickly..."
"You are stupid! How can we report the news when the Lord Chief is watching?"
"It's over, it's over, it's over now..."
Hundreds of soldiers were so anxious that their faces were covered with sweat and they didn't know what to do.
…
Inside the spacious room.
Xiong Kuohai and others were still gambling, and the table was piled with silver, at least hundreds of taels.
"His grandmother's, I don't believe I can't win..." Xiong Kuohai threw three dice into the bowl, and then shouted: "Leopard, leopard... bring me leopard... leopard... hahaha...
…It’s really a leopard…it’s my grandmother’s, I’ve finally made a fortune…Why are you all staring at me, give me the money quickly…Hurry up, give me the money!”
"for you!"
"It's really evil. Why did a leopard really appear?"
"It seems that the old bear is really about to change."
The other ten captains reluctantly gave the money.
"Come again!"
Xiong Kuohai grabbed the dice and shook it vigorously a few times, then threw it into the bowl: "Leopard, leopard... give me another leopard... leopard... hahaha... another leopard... it's so cool... hahaha
…give money, give money…”
"Bang!"
The closed door was suddenly pushed open, and Guan Yi and Ma Xiaoyao walked in one after the other.
"Hey, aren't you sick? Why are you still interested in gambling?" Guan Yi looked at Xiong Kuohai and others with a cold expression.
"Master Qian Fu!"
The expressions of Xiong Kuohai and others changed, and they hurriedly stood up and saluted: "I didn't know that the Commander-in-Chief was here, so I was late to greet him. Please don't take offense, Commander-in-Chief!"
"Xiong Kuohai!" Guan Yi shouted softly.
"My subordinate is here!" Xiong Kuohai responded hurriedly.
"Aren't you sick? Why are you so lively now?" Guan Yi asked calmly.
"I...I..." A layer of cold sweat broke out on Xiong Kuohai's face. He didn't know how to answer. Where did he get sick? He was clearly pretending to be sick, deliberately showing off to Ma Xiaoyao. Who knew that Guan Yi would come to check on him?
... He pretended to be ill and got caught gathering people to gamble... Xiong Kuohai knew he was in big trouble.
Guan Yi turned to look at the others again: "What about you? Aren't you also sick? Why is there nothing wrong now? Tell me, what is going on?"
Xiong Kuohai and others lowered their heads, not daring to take a breath. Although they dared to go against Ma Xiaoyao, they definitely did not dare to challenge Guan Yi. Guan Yi was famous as the "Cold King of Hell" and was very strict in running the army.
No matter who it is, anyone who dares to violate military regulations will be severely punished by Guan Yi without mercy.
"Why aren't you talking?" Guan Yi's face darkened: "Didn't you shout very loudly when you were gambling just now? Why are you all so weak now?"
Seeing Xiong Kuohai and others being scolded, Ma Xiaoyao felt so relieved... He scolded the people next door, aren't you quite capable? Why are you so weak now?
"I'm asking you questions, but you are all mute!" Guan Yi suddenly raised his voice and roared angrily: "Tell me, what is going on!!!"
"...Subordinate...I realize my mistake..." Xiong Kuohai said tremblingly.
"We... also realized we were wrong..." Others followed suit and admitted their mistakes.
Guan Yi narrowed his eyes: "Where did you go wrong?"
"...We...we shouldn't pretend to be sick...let alone gather people to gamble..." Xiong Kuohai said bravely. Instead of resisting, it would be better to admit it openly and maybe get a lighter punishment.
"Pretending to be sick! Gathering people together to gamble!" Guan Yiyi nodded: "You are so brave! I admire you a little. You actually dare to violate two military regulations at once! Come on!"
"My subordinate is here!"
A group of soldiers ran in outside.
Guan Yi stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiong Kuohai and others: "Tie them all up and take them down. No one has a hundred military sticks!"
"Whoosh!"
Xiong Kuohai and others turned pale... The execution sticks in the army are made of iron. Each stick weighs about eighty kilograms. If you hit it with any stick, your skin will be torn. Now you have to hit a hundred military sticks at a time.
If it's not good, it could cost someone's life.
Xiong Kuohai and others wanted to plead for mercy, but after seeing Guan Yi's cold eyes, they swallowed back their words...
"Master Qian Fu!" What Xiong Kuohai and others didn't expect was that Ma Xiaoyao actually stepped forward to intercede for them: "Xiong Kuohai and the others are also the first offenders, and now they know they are wrong. Please be patient, Mr. Qian Fu, and don't punish them...
..." No matter what Ma Xiaoyao thinks, as the boss of Xiong Kuohai and others, he has the responsibility and obligation to come forward to intercede. As for Guan Yi's answer or not, it is not what Ma Xiaoyao considers. Xiong Kuohai and others are arrogant and domineering, deliberately following
Despite Ma Xiaoyao's confrontation, Ma Xiaoyao not only did not get angry, but also took the initiative to intercede for Xiong Kuohai and others. This kind of magnanimity is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Of course, Ma Xiaoyao was just pretending to be broad-minded. In fact, he was very vengeful and wished he could lock up Xiong Kuohai and others and beat him to death.
"There is no rule without rules! Since Xiong Kuohai and others have violated military regulations, they will be punished! This cannot be changed!" At this point, Guan Yi softened his tone: "But...for Centurion Ma's sake...
For the sake of face, I’ll just be generous and punish each person with fifty military sticks.”
"Master Qian Fu..." Ma Xiaoyao wanted to say something else.
"Stop talking! It's decided!" Guan Da waved his hand: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and push these bastards down for execution!" The last sentence was said to the soldiers standing at the door.
Seeing that Guan Yi was serious about taking action, the soldiers no longer dared to hesitate and rushed forward to tie up Xiong Kuohai and others. Guan Yi was supervising from the side, and Xiong Kuohai and others did not dare to resist at all.
