Qin Xiao has a physique that does not match his body shape, but he has to admit in his heart that the Tiger Suppressing Stone does not look big, but it is really heavy.
Fortunately, my little sister-in-law used the marrow cleansing technique to help me unblock my meridians and use the internal energy in my Dantian. Otherwise, I would have made a big joke today.
In this case, lifting the Ten Tiger Suppressing Stones continuously took a lot of energy from him.
"twelve!"
When Qin Xiao moved the Tiger Suppressing Stone for the twelfth time, a voice suddenly rang out from the deathly silent crowd around him.
Guo Wang was among the crowd at this time. He never expected that this young brother who had just entered the barracks would have such terrifying power.
At first he was just surprised, but when Qin Xiao lifted it eleven times in a row, he was even more excited than Qin Xiao. When the Zhenhu Stone was lifted for the twelfth time, he couldn't help but scream.
Guo Wang broke the silence, and there was a commotion all around. The soldiers who were watching were whispering to each other and talking about it, but most of them clearly showed admiration.
"Thirteen!"
"fourteen!"
Next, every time Qin Xiao moved it, the soldiers around him all counted in unison. At first, there were some scattered and even chaotic sounds. By the sixteenth time he moved it, there was no noise around him, and everyone's voices were heard.
The sound is uniform.
Qin Xiao tried his best to lift it twenty-three times, but felt a little dizzy and his legs were sore.
"Come on, push harder!"
Someone in the crowd shouted.
"Little brother, you'll be fine. Just grit your teeth and you'll be able to do it!"
Qin Xiao looked around and saw not only admiration on the faces of the soldiers, but many of them were even full of expectations.
Qin Xiao took a deep breath, thinking that he would have to lift it thirty times before he would be successful. There were still six or seven times to go, so he couldn't give up halfway.
The black-armored general who was standing far away has now slowly walked forward from the crowd. The soldiers on the side saw the black-armored general and saluted one after another. However, the black-armored general's eyes were fixed on Qin Xiao from beginning to end, not even for a moment.
leave.
"twenty four!"
"twenty five!"
"Twenty-six!"
Amidst the uniform voices, Qin Xiao felt as if his two arms were about to be broken. At this moment, he saw the black-armored general stepping forward, holding a leather bag in his hand, and handed it to Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao was startled, and the black-armored general said with a smile: "Drink some water and hold on a little longer!"
Qin Xiao nodded and said: "Thank you!" After the whole day, he didn't eat or even drink a sip of water. Although he wasn't hungry yet, his mouth was dry and his forehead was covered with sweat. He took the water bag and
I raised my head and took a big sip, but it felt so spicy in my mouth that I almost spit it out.
This isn't water, it's clearly strong alcohol.
He looked at the black-armored general, but the black-armored general looked at him with a smile.
The black-armored general is forty-five or six years old, with a curly beard and a muscular look.
Qin Xiao rolled his eyes and was not polite. He raised his head and took two more sips. The strong wine entered his stomach and his whole body felt hot.
"Thank you, brother!" Qin Xiao handed the leather bag back to the black-armored general.
When the soldiers around him heard Qin Xiao calling Heijia "big brother", their eyes widened and they were stunned for a while.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Xiao bent down again and picked up the tiger-suppressing stone.
"Twenty-seven!"
"Twenty-eight!"
"Twenty-nine!"
When Qin Xiao moved the tiger-suppressing stone for the thirtieth time, the atmosphere around him was extremely lively, and many people even cheered, as if he had won a great victory.
At this moment, the sweat on Captain He's forehead was even more than that of Qin Xiao.
After putting down the tiger-suppressing stone, Qin Xiao almost collapsed and sat down on the ground.
"Can you still hold on?" the black-armored general asked with a hint of expectation.
Qin Xiao shook his head and waved his hands: "No more moving. You can become a warrior by moving thirty times. I have already completed thirty times!"
The black-armored general was startled and asked in confusion: "Thirty times? Who said you need to lift thirty times to become a warrior?"
Qin Xiao's heart sank and he asked anxiously: "Thirty times is not enough?" He thought to himself that I have tried my best to lift it thirty times. If you want to add ten more times, I really can't move it anymore.
"No." The guard on the side said hurriedly: "Little brother, the old Marquis made a rule back then. As long as you can lift the Tiger Suppressing Stone three times, you can officially enter the camp. You can lift it thirty times, which is more than enough!"
Qin Xiao was startled.
three times!
He suddenly turned his head, trying to find He Duizheng in the crowd, but in the dark crowd around him, there was no trace of He Duizheng.
All he wanted to do at the moment was curse.
He Duizheng had previously told him that if he could lift the Tiger-Suppressing Stone thirty times, he could become a warrior.
But in fact, if he lifted it three times, it would be considered a success. Not only did he meet the requirements, he even exceeded the target number ten times. If it was only three times, it would be easy if not effortless for him. The extra twenty-seven times
, almost exhausted his physical strength.
At this time, he finally understood why the soldiers around him were full of admiration for him, and some even looked at him as if he were a monster.
Qin Xiao sighed and said: "So, I am qualified to become a real soldier?"
"Of course you are qualified." The black-armored general said with a smile: "In front of so many brothers, you have lifted the Tiger Suppressing Stone thirty times. You are not qualified. Who else can be qualified?"
"Then can I go see the commander and ask him to accept me into the camp?" Qin Xiao asked.
The black-armored general shook his head and said, "You don't have to look for him, he's right here."
Qin Xiao was stunned, but the guard already said: "This is the commander-in-chief!"
Hearing this, Qin Xiao quickly got up from the ground, cupped his hands and said: "Commander, I...I didn't know it was you, I...!" Unexpectedly, the black-armored general turned out to be Yuan Shang, the commander of the White Tiger Camp.
feather.
Commander Yuan patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder and said: "He who doesn't know is not guilty. What is your name?"
"I...No, little Wang Xiao, meet your lord!"
"Wang Xiao?" Yuan Shangyu was startled and asked, "Is this Wang Xiao who just entered the camp today?"
"yes!"
Yuan Shangyu looked at Qin Xiao and finally said: "Not bad." He said in a deep voice: "Su Chao!"
Su Chao, the deputy commander of Baihuying, emerged from the crowd, stepped forward and said, "Sir!"
"Is there any vacancy in the camp?"
"Currently, the staff is fully staffed and there are no vacancies." Su Chao immediately said: "Wang Xiao was assigned to the horse stable. It was originally a temporary measure. In the end, the general wanted to wait for the vacancies in the camp to be filled by him."
Yuan Shangyu thought for a moment and then said: "In this case, we can only act according to the order of the old marquis." He raised his hand and tugged on his beard, and then said to Qin Xiao: "Wang Xiao, you are now qualified to choose
If anyone in the barracks is used as a substitute, you take his place and he goes to the stable, and he will fill it when there is a vacancy." Thinking of something, he smiled and said, "But you can't replace me."
Qin Xiao was quite surprised.
It seems that Baihuying really abides by the agreement with the imperial court, with a staff of 800, and does not dare to have one more person.
There is a carrot and a pit, and the White Tiger Camp is full of people. When one comes in, one must leave.
Su Chao thought that Qin Xiao didn't understand, so he pointed to a circle of soldiers around him and said: "My lord, I want you to pick someone at random from here. Whoever you pick, you will fill the vacancy immediately, and the person who is picked will go first."
The stable will take your place, do you understand?"
Qin Xiao nodded, glanced around, and found that wherever he looked, the soldiers around him either shrank back or lowered their heads.
When he moved the tiger-suppressing stone before, the group of soldiers cheered loudly, but now they were silent and no one dared to speak out.
Qin Xiao saw it and felt like a mirror.
This rule of the White Tiger Camp was indeed very strange, but he remembered that before he came to the White Tiger Camp, Yu Wen Chengchao said something, claiming that the White Tiger Camp respects the strong.
I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now I finally understand the meaning of this sentence.
In White Tiger Camp, if you want to climb up, you must become a strong person and become a strong person in the eyes of everyone.
Only by becoming strong can one gain a foothold in the White Tiger Camp.
Qin Xiao understood in his heart that most of the soldiers in Baihu Camp came from poor families, and joining the camp may not necessarily mean that they are truly loyal to the Yuwen family. It is just that they have generous military pay and benefits. Being able to serve as a soldier in Baihu Camp can at least support them with military pay.
A whole family.
No matter which one is replaced, it will bring a heavy blow to him.
The White Tiger Camp only has a strength of 800 people, and no one is willing to leave the camp voluntarily. Unless there are casualties during the suppression of bandits, it will be difficult for the White Tiger Camp to have vacancies.
He could feel the fear in the hearts of these soldiers, afraid of having his finger pointed at them.
Qin Xiao sighed in his heart, thinking to himself that this bullshit rule was really going to ruin a person's future by himself? His eyes swept across, stopped suddenly, and landed on a person.
The man was wearing a short coat and had a strong body. He was Geng Shao who took Qin Xiao to the horse stable during the day. He was also Geng Hong's cousin who was thrown into the manure pit by him.
When Geng Shao saw Qin Xiao's eyes falling on him, he was startled at first, but his face immediately showed a cold and stern expression. He was not afraid of Qin Xiao, but instead looked into Qin Xiao's eyes.
"Him!" Qin Xiao no longer hesitated and pointed at Geng Shao: "Take him instead!"
The soldiers around him let out a sigh of relief and did not point at themselves, as if they had escaped disaster. However, when they saw Qin Xiao clearly pointing at Geng Shao, many of them changed their expressions slightly.
Geng Shao strode forward and sneered: "You want to replace me?"
Qin Xiao nodded seriously: "It's you!"
He has no grudges against others in Baihuying Banner, and he doesn't want to ruin the future of others. Geng Shao, on the other hand, was quite disdainful of him when he entered the camp today, but to Qin Xiao, this is nothing.
.
But Geng Hong was domineering in the horse racing yard and colluded with He Duizheng to make things difficult for him. In the final analysis, it was because he had Geng Shao as his backer.
Qin Xiao just wants to tear down their backers so that they will not dare to continue to be domineering in the horse stable in the future.
"Wang Xiao, you'd better replace him with someone else." Su Chao said: "If you replace an ordinary soldier, you can enter the camp now, but if you want to replace a general, even if he is the leader of the team, you have to defeat him first."
Yuan Shangyu touched his curly beard and said with a smile: "What Deputy Commander Su said is absolutely true. Wang Xiao, although you moved the tiger-suppressing stone, you are only qualified to replace ordinary soldiers and directly enter the camp. If you want to replace the riding school, you can
You have to compete with him. Unless you can win, you are not qualified to replace him."
"Young people should not be too greedy." Su Chao said lightly: "Did you want to become a riding school as soon as you entered the camp?"
ps: Thank you so much to my good friends, keep on rushing, with everyone’s care, I will definitely get good results! Today is 520, this day is on the shelves, full of ritual feeling!
