Chapter 8 Martial Arts (2)

Gu Feng and Ye Ziqi left the military camp, with jeers coming from far behind.

Ye Ziqi whispered: "Gu Feng, I'm sorry, I didn't treat you as a soldier even if I hurt you."

Gu Feng's face was ashen and he said: "You are telling the truth, why do you need to apologize? Where can't we live? We will not tolerate his anger."

But what surprised the two of them was that Xu Jing also followed.

"Brother Xu, others don't know that you introduced us, so you don't have to go with us. You're tired of being poked in the back." Ye Ziqi said with a pale face.

Xu Jing just smiled and said: "I didn't want to be a soldier originally, I just came to join in the fun with you. If you want to leave, I will give you a ride."

Without waiting for Zi Qi to say anything else, Xu Jing had already walked out of the military camp with the two of them. Xu Jing did not ask Zi Qi on the way: Why did he say that they killed nine horse thieves? According to common sense, Xu Jing should not believe such big words.

I would just think that these are two arrogant children.

This thought made Ye Ziqi look at Xu Jing with a burning feeling on his face, but why did he feel this way? He was telling the truth, and should he be ashamed to tell the truth? He still couldn't figure it out.

Just as I walked down the snow dragon slope, a burst of mighty footsteps came from behind.

The three of them hurried to the side of the road and saw an army of hundreds of armored soldiers, led by several officers on horseback, walking eastward along the official road with a flurry of pace.

Iron has a cold color, and steel armor must be very cold. However, in the Ju Kingdom at this time, there must be no more heart-warming attire than a soldier's armor. This is what Ye Ziqi looked at as he looked at this armor, which was composed of hundreds of military armors.

The thoughts that surged through my mind as the team passed by in front of my eyes.

"Where are they going?" Ye Ziqi asked.

"Patrol all around." Xu Jing explained: "The soldiers stationed here will regularly patrol the towns and villages around Hanye City in units of a hundred people to look for the movements of horse thieves.

Look at those people on horseback. They are all very long. The person riding that big bay-red horse is the leader of this group, the centurion. He has the final say as to which town this group of people will go to today."

These soldiers marched very fast, and when Xu Jing was talking, they had already reached the end of the group. Ye Ziqi had been watching the marching army, his eyes bright as if he was thinking about something.

The team was all gone. "Okay, let's go too," Xu Jing said.

Xu Jing said and walked forward with Gu Feng, but Ye Ziqi stood still.

"Zi Zi?" Gu Feng asked doubtfully.

Ye Ziqi slowly raised his head and glanced at the two people hesitantly. After a while, his face gradually became determined, his chest straightened out, as if he had made a great determination, and he said:

"Gu Feng, let's go back."

"What did you say?" Gu Feng asked in surprise.

"Let's go back and take part in the martial arts competition. I've thought about it. We just came out on our own and we didn't fail in the competition. They have no right to exclude us from the ring. Let's go back, sign up again, compete in the ring and join the army."

The leaves enlighten the true color path.

Gu Feng's face changed drastically: "What are you going back for? Why are you going back to look at their eyes?"

"Didn't you show your skills and suppress them? Besides, if they want to laugh, just let them laugh. What are you afraid of? Let's go back and have a good fight. There will always be a chance to join the army."

"What happened to you suddenly? What do you want to do?"

"I want to be a soldier and a centurion."

"you--"

"Hahahaha!" A burst of laughter suddenly interrupted Gu Feng's words.

The person who laughed was Xu Jing.

The eldest brother, who had always been steady and steady, suddenly became excited and turned to Ye Ziqi and said, "Brother Ye, do you really want to go back and continue to participate in that martial arts competition?"

Ye Ziqi nodded: "Yes!"

"Interesting, so interesting." Xu Jing came over, slapped Ye Ziqi on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Brother Ye, at such a young age, you just endured such an embarrassing scene in the military camp, and now you actually dare to say that you want to go back and face those hundreds of people again. Your mentality is amazing!

The sages have a saying: ‘Even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will go.’ No matter what the reason is for you to suddenly change your mind, it’s because of your ability to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens that I, Xu Jing, respect you!”

Ye Ziqi was a little flustered by this compliment. He blushed and said, "Brother Xu is so flattering. I just want to be a soldier and find a way to survive for myself."

Gu Feng's expression became more and more impatient. Of course, he couldn't understand why Ye Ziqi suddenly wanted to go back to serve as a soldier when he saw an army patrolling. And besides being dissatisfied and enduring the humiliation and going back, there was another reason behind his resistance:

Now Ye Ziqi's boxing skills are really bad. If he goes back like this but has not been selected yet, Gu Feng is worried that Ye Ziqi can't bear this blow and will fall into despair.

But just as Gu Feng was about to speak, Xu Jing immediately waved his hand to stop him, and smiled at the two of them: "To be honest, Xu helped the two of you a little before, just because the two brothers had extraordinary temperament and wanted to talk or do something.

It was a convenient favor, but I didn't expect that the two of them would suffer this humiliation.

In fact, I was thinking just now, since it was Xu who suggested that the two of them come to participate in the martial arts competition, then Xu should be responsible for this matter. Otherwise, the two brothers would be humiliated in vain. Wouldn’t it be Xu’s fault?

Yu two?

Now after listening to Brother Ye's words, I know that you two are extraordinary. If I continue to deal with you, it will appear that I, Xu, am too blind."

Ye Ziqi hurriedly interrupted: "Brother Xu, what happened just now was all because of my reckless remarks. What does it have to do with Brother Xu?"

Xu Jing shook his head and said with a smile: "There is no need to mention the past. Brother Ye, Brother Gu, and Xu are not talking in vain when they say they are responsible for this matter.

I have traveled around the world for many years, and sometimes I inevitably get into fistfights with others. In order to protect myself, I have learned a set of bare-handed fighting techniques, known as the "Eight Gentlemen's Skills". Although it is a rudimentary technique, it is more practical, and the movements are simple and easy to learn.

It is especially suitable for dealing with ordinary people who are not very skilled in martial arts.

If the two brothers think highly of Xu, Xu will teach the two brothers this set of kung fu to help them achieve martial arts."

Hearing this, both Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng showed expressions of surprise. They had both been practicing martial arts for many years. How could they not understand the importance of this martial arts training? The two looked at each other, immediately bowed and said in unison: "I wish you the best."

Brother Xu’s words!”

Xu Jing laughed and was not polite, and accepted the two's bows. Then the three of them returned to Bronze Town, where Ye and Gu invited them to have a toast.

After drinking for a while, Xu Jing shouted: "Let's go!" The three of them walked into the pine forest on the nearby hillside together, looking for an open place.

Xu Jing asked Ye and Gu to sit down on the ground, and said first: "Now it seems that Xu's acquaintance with the two brothers is really like a fate given by God, and Xu was intentionally allowed to teach this martial arts to the two of them.

Without further ado, there is only one tenet to keep in mind in my "Eight Gentlemen's Skills": "Although a gentleman's battle has a set of rules, courage is the basis." Chen means layout, and the meaning of rules and regulations. Martial arts is the rules and regulations of battle, and cannot be used in combat.

The word 'brave' cannot be used well even though one is skillful."

After hearing this, Gu Feng and Ye Ziqi nodded. Xu Jing added: "Remember it, I will teach you the first move, the famous 'Walking in the Autumn Water'. Brother Gu, punch me on the chest."

Gu Feng stood up in response and said first: "I'm sorry!" and then punched Xu Jing.

Xu Jing immediately moved his right leg and moved his whole body forward to the right. At the same time, he grasped and pressed the back of Gu Feng's hand with his right hand. He bent his elbow with his left arm and pressed Gu Feng's wrist from the side upward to inward downward.

The two of them exerted enough strength, and just when Gu Feng's fist was about to fall on Xu Jing, Xu Jing turned his whole body to the right, and suddenly pulled Gu Feng half-drag and half-back behind him. He naturally dodged the punch, and at the same time used both hands.

Let go. Before Gu Feng could use his fist, he fell forward two more steps.

"If this is the last move, instead of letting go of my hands, I hold my chest and abdomen and sink down, and the enemy's arm will be broken." Xu Jing said slowly.

Gu Feng felt a chill in his heart.

Ye Ziqi's eyes lit up.

It seems that this bowl of apprenticeship wine was not in vain.
