Chapter 22 No Chat
Li Zhi knew that he had only a slim chance of winning. But the result was actually determined before the military test. It was not him, Li Zhi, who lost to Bao Yun, but Duke Hui En who lost to the Bao family. For this chance of winning, Li Zhi decided to stick to the south and would never go to the north for a decisive battle.
As time went by, the forty people sent out from the two wings of Li Zhi had been killed or wounded, and there were less than twenty people left on the two wings of the Qing team. Jiang Qun and Xu Yu remembered Bao Yun's military order and did not go back to rest, but led the remaining soldiers to attack Li Zhi's central army.
Li Zhi sighed, knowing that Bao Yun's main force was on the way and would soon appear in front of him.
But knowing that he was defeated, he had to fight. Li Zhi finally mobilized the central army and met Jiang Qun and Xu Yu. As a result, as soon as they came into contact, more than a dozen tired soldiers of the Qing team ran into Li Zhi's central army, which had been recuperating, just like waves hitting rocks, and were smashed to pieces in an instant.
Until Jiang Qun and Xu Yu, who led the team, also disappeared, Bao Yun's main force did not appear.
Even Li Zhi did not expect this result. Now Li Zhi still has more than 50 people, and Bao Yun's main force should still have 90. The gap is still huge, but Li Zhi's 30 elite soldiers are still there. He only lost one Wang Fang who knows the secret art of luck, but Bao Yun has lost Jiang Qun and Xu Yu. The gap between the two sides has actually narrowed a little bit.
Li Zhi was planning to send a few more people to the north to take a look, when he saw a spy who had been sent there before crawling out of the side forest and running over, shouting: "Brother Li, the main force of the Qing team in the north has been destroyed, and Bao Yun has also been beaten back!"
Li Zhi's first reaction was disbelief. If he didn't move, who could destroy Bao Yun?
The spy was out of breath and said: "Someone rode a pig and destroyed the Qing team. This is absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes! But..."
Li Zhi couldn't hear any buts. This was simply a blessing from heaven!
In ecstasy, Li Zhi suddenly felt the ground shaking slightly, and a huge figure appeared in his sight, coming towards Li Zhi slowly. Li Zhi's heart trembled, but then he saw the yellow armor on the man and breathed a sigh of relief. Not only Li Zhi, but also the other young men around him, the tension and fear on their faces disappeared, replaced by arrogance.
"Who is this man?" someone asked.
A young man stood with his hands behind his back and said proudly: "No matter who he is, since he is wearing yellow clothes, he must be our subordinate, oh, and also Junior Brother Li's subordinate. This kid is quite interesting. He was able to get such a big wild boar. It is indeed possible to kill Baoyun. This is a great contribution. I think he should be rewarded with a blessed land. Ask him to come over and talk!"
Another young man said: "Senior Brother Cui is always so approachable, which is not good. That stupid big guy must be a pariah. A mere pariah, the highest he can be given is the Red Tide Sect. If it is higher, it is inevitable that people will say that we are unclear about rewards and punishments."
The young man surnamed Cui in front nodded and said: "Brother Wang is still thoughtful."
The two young men, Cui and Wang, talked to themselves, not taking Li Zhi seriously at all. A trace of anger flashed in Li Zhi's eyes. On the surface, he remained calm and carefully observed the man who was coming.
It was certain that this man was not within his recruitment range. But it didn't matter. Cui Wang and the others were right. As long as he belonged to the Yellow Team, it would be easy. He, Li Zhi, was the leader of the Yellow Team. As long as the Yellow Team won, he would be the first meritorious. To put it bluntly, it didn't matter how many people others killed. In the end, all the credit belonged to him, Li Zhi. Of course, the boys and girls around him also had to share a lot. At the very least, these people had reserved a place in the cave.
And those warriors who charged into battle would only find out at the end that their scores would be unexpectedly low.
When Li Zhi saw the wild boar that was as big as a hill, his eyelids twitched, and he understood how Bao Yun lost. If such a beast rushed over, even if Li Zhi had the secret technique of luck, he would not dare to say that he could win.
When Wei Yuan came closer, Li Zhi stood on the high slope, looking down from above, and said in a loud voice: "Senior brother, I am Li Zhi, the leader of the Yellow Team. What's your name, senior brother?"
Wei Yuan frowned slightly. It's fine that those who were recruited regard Li Zhi as their leader, but does it mean that someone like me who clearly refuses to be recruited will also have to regard him as the leader in the end?
This is absurd!
Wei Yuan is not stupid. There are countless examples in history books of subordinates fighting to the death, and in the end all the credit was taken by the commander. Now Li Zhi has proclaimed himself the leader of the Yellow Team. If Wei Yuan accepts it, wouldn't the credit for destroying the Green Team also become Li Zhi's?
After studying under Zhang Sheng for a long time, Wei Yuan hated those villains who took advantage of their background or played tricks to usurp the credit of others. In comparison, playing tricks is better. After all, those who play tricks rely on their own strategies, and wealth and honor are not all for nothing. Those who take advantage of their birth to rob others, all they have to do is to be born into a good family.
Seeing Li Zhi's condescending and respectful face, Wei Yuan's face had already sank, but it was not visible because of the visor.
In the discussion hall, the old scholar stroked his beard and smiled, thinking that Li Zhi had made a good move. The young monk was angry, and he wished he could possess Wei Yuan and personally scold Li Zhi on Wei Yuan's behalf.
Wei Yuan did not reply immediately. Before Li Zhi got angry, he had already annoyed several boys and girls headed by King Cui.
These people are no worse than Li Zhi in terms of family background, and the two Kings Cui are even better. It's just that they know that their talent and knowledge are not as high as Li Zhi, so they regard Li Zhi as their leader and let him command. Outside of battle, Li Zhi should also be polite to them. The two young masters of King Cui are used to being high and mighty, how can they tolerate someone being arrogant in front of them? Especially if he is a pariah.
The flames on the young man surnamed Wang rose up, and he flew ten feet high and landed in front of Wei Yuan. He pointed at Wei Yuan's nose and shouted, "Where did you come from, you lowly bastard! Why don't you kneel down to greet us?"
Wei Yuan finally lowered his head and looked at the young man in front of him. The young man surnamed Wang was instantly poured with a basin of ice water, his whole body stiffened and he couldn't move!
Under the interaction of Qi and luck, Wei Yuan felt that the young man in front of him was not only slow, but also brittle, like a freshly laid egg, with a soft skin and a little warmth. As long as he exerted a little force, he could smash out his yolk.
As for what he was shouting about, Wei Yuan was too lazy to listen. He raised his gun and shot down, and white light rose.
Zhang Sheng's instructions to Wei Yuan were to push down, not to chat.
The boys and girls around Li Zhi were in an uproar, and none of them believed their eyes. Li Zhi was so angry that he was shaking all over. He was the leader of the Yellow Team. Not only did this man not obey orders, but he also dared to attack his teammates?
The young man surnamed Cui was furious. He jumped up, and flames rose around him. With a long colorful tail, he stabbed Wei Yuan with a sword in the air!
Wei Yuan did not make any other moves, but just raised his spear and released it in the air. The young man surnamed Cui was like a colorful meteor, crashing into Wei Yuan's spear and turning into light.
After killing two people in a row, Wei Yuan was too lazy to say more. Clouds of mist began to spew out of the wild boar's nose, and it roared like thunder, and its body became a little bigger. Li Zhi's face changed, knowing that Wei Yuan had set a precedent for killing his teammates and had been deducted points. If Li Zhi were Wei Yuan, he would have to kill all the members of the Yellow Team before he would stop. Otherwise, if a few escapees were left, they might get higher points than him.
Wei Yuan pointed his spear forward, and the wild boar immediately sensed his intention. Its eyes turned dark red again, and it spewed out two groups of hot clouds. The next moment, the clouds and mist dissipated, and the mountain-like wild boar and the death-like Wei Yuan on its back were like one body, killing the yellow team!
Li Zhi drew out his sword and shouted in a deep voice: "Line up to meet the enemy!"
Although he knew that these ordinary people without the secret art of luck had no power to fight back in front of the mountain-like wild boar, as long as he could buy himself some time, it would be enough.
As soon as the military order was given, the thirty elite soldiers that Li Zhi was proud of scattered in a hurry, and no one was left behind.
Li Zhi was shocked and angry. He looked around and saw that everyone around him had already fled. The girl holding the medicine tray ran the fastest and farthest, and did not leave Li Zhi even a pill.
These boys and girls are not stupid. Who can stop him? And this killer has not said a word so far, and it is impossible to communicate. Without communication, their most effective background and connections have lost their effect. If they don't run now, when will they run? Could it be that they really stay and work for Li Zhi? Lord Hui En doesn't have such a big face.
In the blink of an eye, there was no one around Li Zhi, and everyone ran faster than wild boars.
For a moment, Li Zhi suddenly felt a sense of sadness that his ambitions had been shattered in the blink of an eye. He was clearly surrounded by heavy troops and a group of confidants just now, but in the blink of an eye he became a lonely man. The world changes, nothing is more so than this.
At this moment, Li Zhi only felt that the sky was dark and the wind was bleak, so he put down the instinct to escape and prepared to die generously.
In a sad mood, Li Zhi's Xingli Pian was ignited, and a golden pillar shot up into the sky!
Wei Yuan did not stop, and swung his spear in a circle, and chopped Li Zhi down with a shot! With a bang, the golden pillar shattered.
Wei Yuan jumped up and landed lightly on the top of the hill. The wild boar continued to move forward, with a long sword stuck in its heart, but the handle was gone. The wild boar ran out for dozens of feet, fell to the ground with a bang, and wailed. Its size suddenly shrank continuously, and a wisp of black air flew out of its body and returned to Wei Yuan's body.
Wei Yuan happened to fall beside Li Zhi.
Li Zhi was hit hard by the blow, and it was difficult for him to even get up. He suddenly thought that there were still many commentators watching in the sky, and there were many big figures in higher places, so he took a deep breath and prepared to recite two lines of poetry to express his aspirations. But before he finished his breath, Wei Yuan had already raised his hand and shot down, and white light rose.
Wei Yuan had been studying literature for three years, and he recited books every day. He hated reciting poems before death the most, and he had a lot of extra homework out of thin air.
Wei Yuan stood on the top of the hill and looked around. He saw dozens of yellow teams scattered in the wilderness, fleeing in all directions. It must be said that the yellow team was more sensible than the green team. They neither gathered together nor stayed to watch the fun.
At this point, Wei Yuan could not keep them any longer. Then he saw a small wild boar running out of the forest in the distance and heading straight for Wei Yuan.
The wild boar leaped up, and before it could meet the black air, a bell rang through the illusion.
This pig was not destined to be with Wei Yuan.
The martial arts test is over.
