Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 80

Chapter 80

In seven days, it was enough for He Yan’s leg injuries to heal. Although the injuries on his hands were not completely healed, as long as he didn’t pull the crossbow and practice the spear, it would not hinder his daily work.

In these seven days of waiting, the day to fight for the flag finally came.

Liang Ping visited He Yan during the first night of the flag fight and asked He Yan how he was. He Yan was afraid that he would not let herself participate in the flag fight, and said hurriedly: “Very good, excellent, very good. Do you want to go with the head coach Liang? I have two tricks?”

Liang Ping thought about riding and shooting with He Yan before, so he couldn’t help but coughed lightly, “No, you can just go up the mountain with you tomorrow.”

After he left, He Yan almost didn’t cheer.

Hong Shan smiled and said, “Now you have got what you wanted.”

“I don’t know what the fight for the flag is like,” Mai looked at He Yan and pleaded, “After Brother Ahe goes down the mountain, you can tell us word by word.”

“Doesn’t your brother go up the mountain too? Why just ask Ahe?” Hong Shan said.

“My brother doesn’t know how to say it.” Wheat curled his lips.

Liangzhou guards tens of thousands of recruits, of course, not everyone can go up the mountain to fight for the flag. Moreover, it is to select people for the forward camp, and only select those who perform particularly well in the daily martial arts field. Both Mai Mai and Hongshan can only be regarded as mediocre qualifications and are not competing for the flag. The only people in their room were Shishi and He Yan who were selected to go up the mountain.

“The injuries on your hand haven’t healed yet.” Hong Shan worried for He Yan, “Don’t try hard at that time. You can run away if you can’t beat, you know? All Liangzhou guards know you are great and don’t care about winning or losing that time. .”

“This way, Brother Ahe will suffer too much,” Mai said, “If it wasn’t for Brother Ahe who was injured, it would be Brother Ahe first.”

“It’s okay.” He Yan said relievedly: “Even if I am injured, it must be me first.”

The others in the room laughed.

“Here again! Our Heda Challenger is going to set up a ring on the mountain again, is there anyone who wants to bet on dry cakes?”

“Bet on it, the one who lost last time hasn’t been paid yet!”

Amidst the clamor, He Yan’s heart relaxed a little bit. In fact, she may not have “struggled the flag” for a long time, and the memories of the last flag race were not very good, and she was not the one who performed the most brilliantly. No one knows what the result was this time.

It’s just that compared to the result of the flag race, the most important thing is the performance in the flag race. If you want to enter the Nine Banners Camp, you don’t just look at the results of this time. If you want to come to Baiyue Mountain, all the coaches are hidden in the dark, so you can have a panoramic view of each of them. The person who showed the strongest might have the opportunity to enter the Nine Banners Camp.

Therefore, it is not so much a competition as it is a play, and the audience is only one person from beginning to end, that is the second son of Xiao. She had to work hard to win Xiao Jue’s favor by taking every step beautifully and thoughtfully.

She should be able to do it.

…

Outside the guard, Shen Han handed over to Xiao Jue: “The governor, everything is ready.”

Lu Er kicked it twice, and Xiao Jue stroked its head and said, “Let’s go.”

Shen Han nodded, and suddenly remembered something: “Master Cheng is over there…”

“I have sent someone to protect him in the dark, don’t worry.” He looked in the direction of Baiyue Mountain, “The hour is almost here, let them set off immediately.”

Shen Han responded: “Yes.”

…

He Yan came to the martial arts venue, did not see Liang Ping, but saw Du Mao, holding a book in his hand, and clicking the names of He Yan and Shishi, the two came forward and found Jiang Jiao, Huang Xiong and Wang Ba Also stand aside.

“The five people who compete for the flag are in a group. You are in the same group.” Du Mao said, “After a stick of incense, you set out on foot from here to Baiyue Mountain. You cannot cross the mountain. Red flags are planted everywhere in the mountain. Before sunset, you must go back here. After a pause, he said again: “There are 30 groups of recruits going up the mountain in this flag fight. After returning to this place, the group with the most red flags will win.”

“There are weapons on the weapon rack. Quickly pick one to take advantage of it. Bows and crossbows are not available. Fighting for the flag on Baiyue Mountain, do not hurt your fellow robes, only when you click. Don’t hurt your life, don’t worry about the friendship of fellow robes. ”

Several people nodded together.

Jiang Jiao chose the long spear he was good at, and Huang Xiong carried his golden-backed sword. Although Wang Ba was good at bows and crossbows, he could not use bows and crossbows in this battle. Stone took an iron-headed stick, and everyone looked at He Yan, thinking that He Yan was going to take the mandarin duck knife, but she took a nine-section whip on the rack.

“You…” Stone hesitated. They all knew that He Yan was good at knives, bows and crossbows, and spears, but they didn’t know how she used the whip. A whip is not as good as a sword to look at the prestige.

“You’ll know when you get to the mountain.” He Yan smiled, “Let’s go.”

Several people each took their weapons and rushed towards Baiyue Mountain.

Du Mao laughed loudly behind them: “I’m waiting for your good news here. Go, children!”

The birds in the forest were so startled that they flew around, and people disappeared in the blink of an eye. Ma Damei and Liang Ping came from a distance, each led their horses, and said to Liang Ping: “The time is almost here, let’s set off.”

…

Thirty groups of people, more than a hundred recruits in Baiyue Mountain, like a fish into the sea, can’t see anything. As soon as he stepped into the woods, Wang Ba suddenly said, “Wait!”

Several people stopped and looked at him: “What?”

“Someone has advanced to the mountain before us. What if they are in ambush in the forest at this moment and we step on the trap?”

“Don’t worry,” He Yan smiled: “The fight for the flag has just begun. Everyone is busy grabbing the flag. We don’t have a flag in our hands right now. What’s the use of ambushing us. I guess everyone is walking to… Shannan Baishi at this moment. .”

“Why Shannan Baishi?” Jiang Jiao asked.

“Shishi, show them the map.” He Yan looked at Shishi.

The stone took out a roll of paper from his arms and slowly unfolded it, but saw several red dots on the paper, all of which were in general directions. Each group of flag contenders will have a map. The map has the location of the flag, but only the approximate direction. The map is also very scribbled. There are even no trees and rivers for the flags, only the four directions of the south, east, north, and west.

“Look, there are a total of twenty flags.” He Yan pointed to the bottom red dot, “The side closest to the foot of the mountain should be the side of the mountain. When recruits enter the mountain, they will naturally search for the nearest flag first. In the pocket. There is a small stream beside the white rock in the south of Shannan. It is wide open and there is no tree cover. This flag should be the best to find. So I think most of the brothers who are more advanced than us have gone to look for this flag. ”

“How do you know that it is Shannan Baishi?” Huang Xiong suspiciously, “There is only one spot on this.”

“I’m just guessing, but don’t worry, when I visited the mountain before, I remembered the way, so even if there is a deviation, I will find it by looking for it.”

“Didn’t you get chased by a wolf the time you patrolled the mountain before?” Wang Ba couldn’t help but said, “Do you remember the road?”

“Well, I watched the road when I was chased by a wolf, and when I came back, I remembered it again, very familiar.” He Yan smiled and looked at him, “You have to trust your boss, there is absolutely no problem.”

When Wang Ba heard this, he turned his head in anger, not looking at He Yan.

He Yan laughed. It is necessary to remember the terrain and all roads on the battlefield. She once stayed in the forward camp. The most important one is to understand the enemy and the surrounding environment at the beginning, so as to judge the layout.

“Then what are we waiting for now? Go straight to Baishi, Shannan to grab the flag!” Huang Xiong carried the knife on his back, “How do you go?”

He Yan: “…” This is someone who doesn’t know the way.

“We are not going in this direction.” He Yan said.

“Why?” Huang Xiong frowned.

“At this moment, there must be a lot of people there are grabbing the same flag. If you want to grab the same flag, there are too many opponents, which is not worthwhile.” He Yan shook his head, “Don’t join the fun. Let’s go in this direction.” Point to the opposite direction on the map and there is also a red dot.

“There is dense forest here, the road is very steep, and it is easy to get lost. I thought about it, unless it is someone who remembers the road clearly, it is difficult to find this flag. So it should not be easy to be taken away. Let’s go straight ahead. Take this flag.”

“There are only twenty flags in total. I think we can win as long as we get more than half of them. So at the beginning, we looked for these hidden flags, but no one paid attention to them, so we could save some effort. After all, it’s about flagging. It doesn’t have to be the strength of the hand, but here.” She pointed to her head.

Is this changing the law and boasting of being smart? Several people are a little speechless. Huang Xiong asked: “Do you really remember the way?”

“It’s true.” He Yan blinked and said, “I don’t forget to pass by.”

The young man wore a strong red outfit. Although he was thin and weak, his eyes were extremely sly and agile. The sunlight shining on him from the gap in the forest made him appear to be shining.

“Okay, let’s go.” Wang Ba said first, “Hurry up, you will be snatched by others if you are late, fight for a bird!”

Shitou and He Yan are in the same group, so naturally they wouldn’t say anything. Jiang Jiao was younger, and he admired He Yan for the fact that he was better than a gun before, and he had no objection. Several people agreed that Huang Xiong, the oldest, didn’t say anything. The most important thing was that he was a road-blind person. If no one led the way, he would be able to spend three days and three nights inside.

So these five people unexpectedly joined He Yan as the head.

The five of them walked up the mountain together. Because there was no horse riding and the mountain road was rugged, everyone was worried that He Yan would not be able to keep up at first, but seeing that she was light and light and looked relaxed all the way, not reluctant, they gradually relieved. Knowing He Yan’s physical strength, it should be no problem to climb to the top of the mountain.

And as expected, He Yan did as she said, as if he had walked the road of Baiyue Mountain countless times, keeping all kinds of trails in mind. She avoided every avenue that might collide with other groups, and walked exclusively on the trails. The road was a little harder, but the distance was much closer. Moreover, every bush that seemed to be roadless was smashed away by her. Walked out another way.

“You, you have to think more about everything,” He Yan sighed, “Does the road have to be straight? Isn’t it okay to be curved? Do people have to walk on the ground? Isn’t it okay to learn the gecko to climb on the wall? The rule is that a dead person is alive. With snacks, many things are not that complicated at all.”

Everyone: “…”

Huang Xiong said dullly: “I am forty-six this year.”

He Yan answered as he walked, “Yes.”

“You are only sixteen this year.”

In other words, why should a sixteenth stinky boy teach his elders? The elders have eaten more salt than you have eaten!

He Yan said, “But you still don’t know the way.”

Huang Xiong couldn’t answer these words, what kind of person is this?

As they talked, they climbed over a mound and saw a small flag hidden among the bushes, standing alone on the ground.

“Found it!” Jiang Jiao’s eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to hold the banner in his palm, “Really!”

“I was really found.” Wang Ba mumbled, seeing the young man leaning against the tree, and said leisurely: “I said it earlier, I won’t forget when I passed by.”

Seeing this, the supervisor hiding in the distance of the bushes walked two steps outside and whispered: “What’s the matter? Why was it found so soon?”

It stands to reason that the flag here is hidden deep, and the road is not easy to follow. At the moment, most people should go to the Shannan Baishi flag. But at this hour, their group came straight here from the beginning, and they haven’t encountered any obstacles on the road. Did they…know in advance where the flag was placed?

“Don’t worry about it, and reply quickly.” The supervisor quickly wrote a few words on the note and sealed it in the copper tube on the dove’s leg.

…

In the guard room, black and white pieces are scattered on the chessboard, and some people are playing against each other.

A pigeon flew to the young man’s shoulder and groaned twice. The latter took the copper tube from its leg and took out the note to read it.

Shen Han looked suspiciously.

Xiao Jue handed him the note, and Shen Han took it and took a look. After a while, he was shocked and said, “You found it so soon?”

“Unexpectedly.” Xiao Jue grinned, his eyes clearer, and he said: “At this moment, he went straight to this place early in the morning.”

Among the twenty flags on Baiyue Mountain, the nearest side was next to Baishi, Shannan. Although someone had discovered it early in the morning, there were so many people who came to snatch this flag, and so far there has been no winner. Instead, the one in He Yan’s hand became the first flag to be found, because no one came to grab it.

“He remembers the way?” Shen Han was suspicious. Even with the beginning of the patrol, it is impossible for a person to remember the road so well, and the recruits did not know the meaning of the patrol at the beginning, so they would not deliberately remember the road. It’s amazing to be able to remember roughly half of it.

“Not necessarily, maybe,” Xiao Jue said: “He just knew the flag of today’s fight ahead of time.”

I knew it in advance, I would deliberately write it down when patrolling the mountain, or think deeply, He Yan got the specific map of Baiyue Mountain right from the start. So when you see the flag, you will know the specific location.

Shen Han frowned, “Speaking of which, he is really suspicious. What should I do next?”

“Continue,” the young man smiled faintly, and took the move without hurries. “It’s not over yet. The outcome is unknown. You won’t know the outcome until the end. Don’t worry.”

…

After He Yan found this flag, he took the other four people and continued walking up the mountain. Her path seems to be closer to other people’s roads, and occasionally she ran into other groups of recruits who couldn’t avoid it. Before the other party could find out, He Yan let everyone lie in the grass or behind the bushes. Meet them head-on.

Wang Ba was a bit dissatisfied. He was used to being the leader of the mountain bandit. When he was so frightened, he just said: “We are not afraid of them, what to hide? I don’t think you can hide, just go up and grab it!”

“It’s still early.” He Yan explained patiently to him, “The other recruits we met may not have banners, but we do have them. Once a conflict occurs, there may not be any trophy if we win, but we lose even the banner in our hands if we lose. Isn’t it uneconomical?”

Seeing Wang Ba was still reluctant, she unfolded the map in her hand to show Wang Ba: “I have seen it. As just now, there are three flags hidden deep in the dense forest. We have already got one side, and there are two other sides left. If you walk along this road, you should be able to find it smoothly, and the last side is close to the top of the mountain.”

“We get these three sides first, and when we get these three sides, we will walk to the top of the mountain.” She said: “Wait to the top of the mountain, and then we will discuss the future.”

This reluctantly convinced Wang Ba, and he said: “This is what you said, and there are two sides, if not,” he shook his fist, “I want you to look good!”

He Yansi was not afraid, and smiled and took his fist away: “You can’t be so rude to the boss.” She looked at the distance and said, “Let’s go.”

The sun is getting bigger.

Although the deep forest is not as hot as the bottom of the mountain, everyone is sweating profusely because of the rugged mountain roads. There are many birds, beasts, insects and ants on the mountain, and there are also a few snakes on the road. What is surprising is that He Yan is able to deal with these unexpected situations easily. Compared to Wang Ba, she is like the lord of the mountain. If you don’t know that He Yan is a recruit from Shuojing, I am afraid that others will misunderstand that she is. Orion native to Baiyue Mountain.

She didn’t lie either. Although the road she led was a bit bumpy, she actually found the other two flags unimpeded. Jiang Jiao took the last flag into his bag. Huang Xiong looked at the front and said with some uncertainty: “The front is the top of the mountain.”

He Yan nodded: “Yes.” She looked down the mountain, “We took the shortcut and looked along the way, and we didn’t meet any other group faster than us. We should be the first to come to the top of the mountain. That’s it.”

The other recruits were busy fighting for the flag. They avoided other people on the way and only went to find the flag. It was very convenient and also saved a lot of time.

Wang Ba sat down under the tree, twisted the water bottle around his waist and drank a big sip of water. He said, “Except for killing two snakes along the way, nothing was done. I took two axes for nothing. I said we are here. Looking for something, isn’t it here to grab something?”

Just avoiding others to look for things like this, sneaking in, quite aggrieved. Although Huang Xiong and Jiang Jiao didn’t say it, their expressions agreed with what Wang Ba said.

The stone opened his mouth and said: “You just need to be victorious, you don’t have to be stuck in a way.”

“Brother Stone is still smart,” He Yan said with a smile: “If you want to compete, why not go directly to the martial arts field to challenge. The challenge for the flag is not personal skill.”

She clapped her hands and looked at everyone and laughed again, “However, I never said that we should keep hiding here.” He Yan said, “Prepare all.”

“What are you going to prepare?” Jiang Jiao was puzzled.

He Yan smiled slightly: “Robbery.”
