Chapter Eighteen: Quiet as a Virgin

Wu Nian adjusted his breathing. Although his physical strength was exhausted, he was still running without stopping to rest.

Thirty laps, just like this, lap after lap.

Chen Guang's hand holding the whip was already sore. He blinked and put down the whip in his hand. His mouth opened wide as if he could swallow an egg. He was so stupid.

Li Ding stood up. The wine in the wine bowl in his hand was no longer fragrant. He stared at this scene dumbfounded and murmured: "How is this possible? How could this rotten drunkard's body be so good? I just practiced so much

The gun and its movements are all deformed."

“But why is running so great?”

Tieniu, Li Yong and other soldiers also opened their eyes wide and looked at Wu Nian in disbelief.

"Even I can't do this for thirty laps in one breath." Tieniu opened his mouth wide, revealing a mouthful of yellowed teeth, and murmured to himself.

In fact, Wu Nian was lucky. Although he ran down in one breath and seemed to have been running, his speed was actually very slow.

Anyway, as long as you are running, it will be fine. Li Ding only said that he would run thirty laps, but he did not say whether to run fast or slow.

After finishing the run, Wu Nian's face was already livid, but his breathing was still relatively even. He raised his head, wiped his sweat, and said: "Sir Xiaoqi, are you still running? Let me get a drink of water.

It’s no problem to run ten more laps.”

Everyone could hear the sarcasm in Wu Nian's mouth.

Li Ding's face suddenly turned ashen. He was originally going to kill someone with a soft knife, but he didn't expect Wu Nian to be tough-skinned and thick-skinned. He resisted and made a mockery of General Yijun again.

He really lost all his face today.

"snort."

Li Ding stood up with a cold snort, dropped the wine bowl in his hand, and fell into pieces on the ground.

He tossed his sleeves and walked away angrily.

As a slave, Chen Guang had an ugly face. After glaring at Wu Nian, he put away his whip and hurriedly chased after him.

"Hahaha. Amazing. How did you run? How could you run so far in one breath?"

After Li Ding left, the scene exploded. Tieniu, Li Yong and others put down their weapons and gathered around them. Tieniu asked curiously.

These are all brothers, and Wu Nian did not show off or hide anything. He talked about all the running skills in one go. At the end, he said with a smile: "Everyone can also learn from it. There are many benefits to being good at running."

"For example, when a large army goes out on an expedition, the military order is to march quickly. If you can maintain your physical strength, you will be able to use a knife on the battlefield."

"If things go wrong and the army is defeated like a mountain, we should run faster, right?"

After everyone listened, they all thought it made sense.

"You're right. I often hear people say: [Soldiers are more valuable and faster]."

"Yeah. I thought running meant running with all my strength, but I didn't expect that I could adjust my breathing and conserve my energy."

After Li Ding left, everyone felt at ease. They sat around and talked. Although among everyone, there was the strongest soldier Tieniu.

Li Yong is a veteran.

But Wu Nian is vaguely the leader.

Everyone saw what happened today. This rotten drunkard has completely changed. He dared to contradict Xiaoqi Li Ding in person, and said so directly.

"Don't be merciful. Hit me with a stick. If you dare, just kill me." Such words.

Li Ding really couldn't do anything against Wu Nian.

Everyone was often exploited by these officials, so they felt very relieved.

Li Ding picked up the soft knife again.

Everyone also wanted to avenge Wu Nian, but they also hated Li Ding because of Wu Nian. Chen Guang was Li Ding's domestic slave, he was loyal, and his tactics were shady.

If the whip falls, the skin and flesh will be torn apart.

Wu Nian actually ran thirty laps in one breath without stopping in the middle. Li Ding was speechless and left angrily.

Relieve your anger, really relieve your anger.

And the deeper they talked, the more they found that Wu Nian had really changed as a different person. His behavior was very upright, his eyes were bright, and his speech was very organized.

Everyone was surprised and surprised, and also wanted to get close to Wu Nian, so they took Wu Nian as their leader.

After being happy for a while, sadness enveloped everyone's hearts again. Wang Gui, the sick man, was more timid and whispered: "Although Brother Wu blocked all Li Ding's moves, Li Ding did not get the favor. But

This is a military camp, and he is the flag."

"I'm afraid there are many ways to do it."

Everyone was already worried, and their faces became even more gloomy after hearing this.

"In this world, officials really care about human lives." Tieniu hit the ground with his fist, making a small hole, and cursed.

"Yes. The cause of this matter is not the few acres of land owned by Brother Wu's family. Officials are really not human beings." Zhang Sheng nodded and agreed.

Wu Nian was happy in his heart.

Although Li Ding's official rank was overwhelming, it also further caused conflicts between officers and soldiers.

Wu Nian's chest was full of pride, and he looked around and said with a smile: "Thank you brothers for your concern. In the current situation, Li Ding doesn't dare to really kill me. This so-called soft knife, our soldiers can just cover it up with water and earth."

.”

He said in his heart.

"This guy won't live long. Just think of it as the barking of a dog before he dies."

Although Wu Nian's words were conclusive, everyone was still worried. But on the other hand, everyone felt that Wu Nian was heroic.

"Brother is right. The soldiers are just coming to block the water and use the earth to cover it up. Don't worry, brother. If Li Ding really wants to kill you, we will definitely help you."

"Let's turn everything upside down and prevent him from succeeding."

Tieniu took a deep breath and said passionately. He was a strong-blooded, bold and stubborn person. He knew one thing for sure and would not look back even if he broke through the southern wall.

Forget about the Wu Nian of the past. The Wu Nian of today is really a good man. He admires him and is willing to call him his brother.

"That's right."

"Yes."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and even Li Yong, who was over fifty years old, was excited.

Although Li Ding was not watching, the military orders of the Hundred Households still had to be obeyed. After everyone chatted for a while, they continued to practice.

Wu Nian was actually weak, but he still insisted on practicing spear and sword skills.

Soon it was afternoon. Wu Nian and his brothers came to the kitchen to serve rice. The rice was not very good, just rice bran and white rice.

It’s just that the proportion of rice bran is small, only about 20%.

Nothing but rice bran rice.

After seeing this, everyone was secretly annoyed, knowing that the people above were exploiting him again and again, but they had no choice but to bury their heads in the food.

After dinner, it was still early.

Everyone first fetched water to clean themselves, changed their clothes and gathered around the well to wash their clothes.

"Wu Nian. Someone is looking for you."

There was a soldier who looked familiar but whose name Wu Nian could not recognize. He came over and called Wu Niandao.

Wu Nian is a little strange, who will come to me?

Liu Xiang? Chen?

Wu Nian shook his head.

Impossible. Liu Xiang is still ill, and although the relationship between the two has improved a lot, it seems unlikely that Liu Xiang will come to see me.

Mrs. Chen is weak and can't go out.
