"Here comes the knife!" A soldier threw the knife onto the ring.
The attendant bent down, picked up the knife, and slashed at Guo Xin's head and face. It was obvious that his plan was messed up. Guo Xin kept his body steady and resisted calmly. Occasionally, he noticed that the opponent's movements were sluggish, and suddenly he slashed with the knife, causing his mouth to hiss in pain.
.
The opponent obviously refused to admit defeat. He struck out with a knife around his head as fast as a sharp knife. Guo Xin fought and retreated, retreating to the corner of the ring. Seeing that he was about to repeat his same trick, the opponent jumped up first and stepped on it.
Get on the blocking rope, turn around and chop down in the air!
Guo Xin did not use the blade to resist, and quickly stepped back after a slight resistance. However, the opponent's momentum was even stronger. He suddenly lowered his body and dropped the knife, bending his body to form an arch, and he was lying on the ground. The two swords passed by each other.
, making a harsh sound and blowing up a lot of sawdust.
Guo's right leg bounced up like a spring, and a scorpion hook hit his opponent's back, triggering a burst of applause. He stood up with his waist up, and took advantage of the opponent's staggering force to use his hand violently.
Knocking with the elbow, and then slashing with several knives, the movements were as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water.
Li Siye stood not far away and watched with his arms folded, thinking that there should be a BGM here, and it must be the high-pitched and exciting suona sound played during the fierce fighting in CCTV's Water Margin. There was already a bang in his stomach, and the rhythm was cheerful and cheerful.
It was hearty and hearty, and at the end when the suona sound reached the sky, Guo Xin's wooden knife was already placed across the back of the opponent's neck.
"Accepted."
The man rolled up from the ground, his face turned red and his eyes glared angrily: "Come on! Fight again!"
Gao Xianzhi's stern voice came: "If you lose, you lose! Why don't you get off the stage quickly!"
The man snorted, turned around and jumped off the ring, walked to Gao Xianzhi, lowered his head and crossed his hands in shame: "Secretary Envoy."
"Let's go!" Gao Xianzhi looked a little confused, picked up his cloak and walked towards the camp gate.
Li Siye hurriedly followed Gao Xianzhi and said goodbye. He didn't expect that there would be such a commotion today, which was completely beyond his expectation. He didn't know what Gao Bangzi's heart was like, whether he would miss him because of such a thing.
He sent the other person out of the camp and handed him over with a smile, but no matter how he showed his emotions at this time, I am afraid that in the eyes of the other person, it would be all pretense.
From the moment Gao Xianzhi entered the camp, he felt that the other party was completely out of shape. Regarding his abnormality, Li Siye wondered whether Gao Xianzhi was afraid? But he did nothing.
"General Li, please stay. There is no need to send him off."
Gao Xianzhi turned his horse's head and led everyone onto the dirt road.
"General Gao, walk slowly."
He crossed his hands and looked into the distance until the other person disappeared at the end of the official road.
Li Siye returned to the camp, and the champion Guo Xin ran over with a wooden knife in his hand. He knelt down in front of him, crossed his hands and smiled: "Please give the champion a gold medal, general!"
Li Siye picked up the riding whip and hit him on the shoulder pretending to be angry: "You don't know how to be humble in front of guests, so it seems that you are capable? How can you lose to him?"
Guo Xin was stunned for a moment, raised his lips and asked in confusion: "The general didn't ask me to let him." He immediately changed the direction and knelt down on one knee, crossed his hands and said with a smile: "Please give me the championship, General Zhonglang.
gold medal."
Li Siye admired the little soldier in front of him very much. He was only a few years younger than him, but he felt close to him as a peer.
He took out the recast Persian gold coin from his arms, with round holes poked in it, and strung it with a silk ribbon. He stepped forward and put it on Guo Xin's neck, lifted him up and asked, "What's your name?"
?”
"Guo Xin."
"The surname is Guo?" He asked subconsciously: "But the Taiyuan Guo family?"
"It's the Guo family of Taiyuan."
"hiss,"
In this case, it is unlikely that someone with the same name would meet him. If his association is correct, this person is Guo Xin, the iron-blooded prince of Anxi who has been guarding Anxi for more than 20 years. He met him when the boy was not yet famous. But further verification is needed.
For a moment: "Who is Guo Ziyi to you?"
Guo Xin hesitated for a moment, then folded his hands and lowered his head and said, "It's my uncle."
Li Siye was secretly happy and a little nervous. It was like the excitement of catching a good hand in mahjong. This was Guo Ziyi's nephew. The future Guo Linggong was now just one of the deputy governors of Beiting.
Guo Xin suddenly knelt on the ground with his hands folded, and said with a solemn expression: "General Li, Guo Xin came to Anxi to join the army at the age of sixteen. He does not want to rely on his family background, nor does he want to rely on his relatives and friends. Please treat me as the same as the other soldiers in the Tiaodang camp."
, don’t be biased because of my uncle and bring shame and disgrace on me.”
What an upright boy, if there were people like this in the world, where would there be corruption and connections?
Li Siye stretched out his hand to help him up from the ground, thinking to himself, why should I care about your uncle? I would be sorry for myself if I don't give you special care just because of you.
He cleared his throat and said in as serious a voice as possible: "In the three-month competition of May, June, and July, you won the third place in the riding, archery, and infantry combat categories in May, right? By June, you have already won the third place.
You won the third place in horse fighting, the runner-up in mounted archery and infantry fighting, and now in the competition in July, you are already the gold medal champion in foot fighting, the runner-up in mounted archery and horse fighting, and the third place in infantry shooting."
"Can't you see your excellence yourself, and you still need to keep a low profile, thinking that you are relying on your family background and relying on others to see your uncle's face?"
Guo Xin's face was red, and she followed Li Siye not knowing how to refute.
"Everything that goes too far is too much. You have always been worried that because your uncle served as deputy governor in Anxi, others will take care of you. Blindly avoiding the rewards and responsibilities you deserve seems a bit too avoidant. This is not good for you.
It's so unwise. This is no longer special care, but special self-difficulty. Why are you so harsh on yourself? Do you think you have a special status?"
Guo Xin widened her eyes in surprise: "Of course not, I'm just an ordinary athlete among many Anxi athletes."
If you really regard yourself as an ordinary member of the Anxi Army, then don't deny the opportunity given to you."
"General Li, do you really want to take care of me?"
"Of course," Li Siye said sternly to him with his hands on his hips: "Talents should stay in the right place, otherwise it will be a waste of resources for him and the army. You only have a few decades in your life, it is your turn to shine.
When you have a fever, you dodge, are you unwilling to bear the burden? Are you trying to evade responsibility?"
After hearing these words, Guo Xin felt guilty and quickly shook her head and said: "Of course not!"
"Since it's not the case, then you must be brave enough to take responsibility." Li Siye immediately turned around and waved to the captain Qiu Luan who was following behind him.
Qiu Luan stepped forward and crossed his hands: "General Li, do you have any instructions?"
Li Siye pointed at Guo Xin and asked him, "Can Guo Xin be a brigade commander?"
"Of course you can."
"Then promote him to the rank of brigade leader under the command of a regiment. If there is no vacancy for the time being, transfer him to the regiment that has vacancies for the time being."
Qiu Luan quickly answered: "If there is a vacancy, I can take office immediately!" He turned around and looked at Guo Xin's face. This kid didn't give in, let alone doubt that this was special care for him?
It has been more than three months since General Li came to Tiaodang camp. Qiu Luan has not seen his skill in riding a horse and crossing his sword, but he has fully seen his skill in talking. A short admonishment with a stick of incense can make Zhao Congfang, who has given up on himself, regain his strength.
I picked up my confidence, danced when I heard the chicken, and worked hard all night long. In just three months, I got rid of the hat of last place.
He only talked with Guo Xin in the military camp today over a cup of tea, and he actually suppressed Guo Xin's temper that he wanted to save face and suffer. You must know that he had recommended him as a brigade leader three times in the past, but this Guo Xin thought he was
He was flattering his uncle and refused abruptly, which made Qiu Luan very angry.
His enemy Luan had been unable to deal with someone for several months, but General Li asked him to change his tune every minute, which made him suspect that Li Siye was actually a lobbyist delayed by the general.
…
Gao Xianzhi and his entourage were about to approach Kucha City. Looking back, he could still see the earthen fortress between Tiaodang Camp and the War Front. Some questions in his heart still remained unanswered. Li Siye was a treasure to him.
A strong boy, you can get a new feeling almost every time you see him. Not seeing him for three days is an exaggerated word, but it is not enough when applied to Li Siye. It was not even two years since Gao Xianzhi last met him, and this time they met suddenly,
I couldn’t be more impressed, I just had to drop my eyes to see it!
He couldn't see what was unique about this person leading the troops, but it gave him an unusual feeling. He was just watching the sitting postures of the sergeants on the ring. How could ordinary people be so demanding? The atmosphere in the camp was lively, and he stood guard at the sentry
The soldiers on the tower always look outward. Such a small detail can make you feel the extraordinary nature of this person.
He opened his mouth and sighed: "This Li Siye leads the troops with strict discipline, and he is like an iron barrel when he jumps around the camp. In time, this person will definitely shine in the Western Regions."
One of his followers was quite unhappy and said beside him: "Those who can lead troops may not necessarily know how to fight."
Gao Xianzhi just smiled coldly at the self-deception of his entourage: "You are right. Those who can lead troops may not be able to use troops, but those who cannot lead troops will definitely not be able to use troops."
"Let's go." Gao Xianzhi waved his cloak and galloped towards the gate of Qiuci City. The unhappiness and fear accumulated in Tiaodang Camp were also thrown away by him and swept into the wind.
Now Gai Jiayun has left Anxi to become the governor of Hexi Longyou, and Fumeng Lingcha, who had met him in the past and admired him quite a lot, has also become the deputy governor of Anxi, and is only one step away from the governor. He believes
After Fumeng takes complete control of Anxi, his shining era is about to come. His light will outshine everyone else, including Li Siye, who is already a shining pearl in the Tiaodang Camp.
