Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 93 88. Recruiting another general
Feng Xi, Zhao Lei and the Bao brothers arrived at the parade ground soon. As a landlord's fortress, Baojiazhuang must have its own private army and servants, and they usually conduct drills in this large parade ground.

Feng Xi pulled out an ordinary spear from the weapon rack. The weapons used by the Bao brothers on the opposite side were relatively unconventional weapons, so naturally he used his own weapons.

"Who would like to try it first?"

Feng Xi looked at the two people who were in a dilemma because of arguing about who should go on stage first, and asked, interrupting their whispered argument.

In the end, the two brothers decided to use the simplest method to determine the order, which was rock-paper-scissors.

Bao Yi was lucky and won the paper-scissors competition against his brother. He showed a proud look and picked up his painted halberd to the training ground.

"General Feng, let me be the first to make a fool of myself!"

"Okay, Mr. Bao, please!"

The two men were fighting on foot at this moment, and after each of them clasped their fists and bowed, they took up their stances.

Feng Xi wanted to see how good the two brothers of the Bao family were, so he didn't rush to attack, but waited for Bao Yi to attack. Bao Yi was not polite, he dodged a few times, and chopped at his face with a halberd with a crescent hook.

"Well done!"

Feng Xi remained calm and took the attack head-on, wanting to see how strong Bao Yi was. When the spears and halberds crossed, the two men's strength was evenly matched, which surprised Feng Xi a little.

You should know that since I had a sense of the future, I have started to exercise scientifically and train my strength. Now I can compete with Zhang Fei in strength, although part of the reason is that Zhang Fei is old and weak, and his strength is no longer as strong as it used to be, but it is still at a relatively high level.

And it is rare for Bao Yi, as a local tyrant, to have such courage. Even if he only has a small body, with a little guidance, he can transform into a first-class warrior.

Bao Yi was also shocked by Feng Xi's strength. He saw that General Feng was not a strong man, but he did not expect that his men were so strong.

Bao Yi showed no mercy and used the halberd in his hand to stab, poke and chop, making full use of the halberd's diverse attack methods and attacked Feng Xi continuously.

Feng Xi easily resolved the attack with his increasingly skilled spearmanship. Although the opponent was quite powerful, he could not compare with him in terms of speed and skills. Even if the opponent was also first-rate, it would still be a pipe dream for him to defeat him.

Feng Xi fought with Bao Yi for more than twenty rounds and had a rough idea of ​​Bao Yi's level. He shook the spear in his hand and turned from defense to offense. The spear flowers kept forcing towards Bao Yi's vital points like pear blossoms in a rainstorm.

Bao Yi was caught off guard by Feng Xi's sudden outburst and had to defend himself repeatedly. Unfortunately, there was a big gap in strength between the two sides, and a long defense would lead to failure. Bao Yi persisted until the 52nd round before Feng Xi's spear tip was put to his throat and he had to admit defeat.

"General Feng is really good at martial arts! I am itching to fight him! Ah Yi, please go down and let me have some sparring with General Feng!"

Bao Feng, who was standing by, saw that Feng Xi looked different from him and had such powerful kung fu skills. He couldn't help but feel excited. When Bao Yi was defeated, he urged Bao Yi to give up his position and he personally came to Feng Xi with his own boring machine.

"General Feng, please be careful! I'm much stronger than Ayi!"

Bao Feng specifically reminded him and Feng Xi nodded, but he still had to test it.

"Den!"

As soon as the two men's weapons clashed, Feng Xi couldn't help but nod in his heart. The big drill that Bao Feng used was indeed weighing 120 pounds. He himself was also a very strong warrior. After the fight, he actually felt his hands a little numb. It was estimated that Bao Feng might have 80% to 90% of the strength of Zhang Fei in his prime.

A general with an axe and a hammer cannot be defeated by force, and facing a general who prides himself on strength, he naturally cannot fight him head-on. Feng Xi directly matched his steps and fought with Bao Feng.

Bao Feng's boring method was basically based on a bold and aggressive approach. Combined with his extraordinary strength, his speed was not too slow. Feng Xi was able to resolve his attacks while making a few tentative attacks.

The two sides fought back and forth for more than 40 rounds before Feng Xi finally understood Bao Feng's moves and started to fight back. However, Bao Feng seemed to have seen Feng Xi's spear skills from below and was quite prepared. He also planned to use force to defeat Feng Xi's cleverness, wielding the big drill in his hand like a battering ram, trying to fight Feng Xi head-on.

Feng Xi was neither anxious nor annoyed. He calmed his mind and began to attack with all his strength. Bao Feng gradually found it difficult to resist and finally he was defeated after holding out for more than twenty rounds. In total he fought with Feng Xi for nearly seventy rounds.

Feng Xi looked at Bao Yi who was wiping the sweat off Bao Feng's face, and had a rough estimate of the level of the two brothers in his mind.

Both of them were first-rate warriors, and Bao Feng had the upper hand due to his extraordinary strength. If he accepted these two men, took them back and taught them carefully, and made them familiar with the battle formation, it would be a good opportunity to add to Ji Han's available talents.

With this in mind, Feng Xi called the two brothers and Zhao Lei back to the hall to meet Old Master Bao who was leisurely drinking tea there.

"You two young masters are really good at martial arts. If the old master has no other instructions, you can return to the camp with me today."

Feng Xi's words had already expressed his satisfaction. The Bao brothers looked at each other with happy and surprised expressions. It seemed that the competition just now had caught the eye of General Feng.

"Of course there is nothing wrong with that. The affairs of the manor are taken care of by the other children, so they are not needed. Going back to the camp with General Feng today will save them from fighting each other all day and causing unrest in the manor."

Old Master Bao said this with a smile, but he looked at Feng Xi. Feng Xi understood what he meant, and also looked at the two brothers of the Bao family with a serious expression.

"Bao Feng, Bao Yi, you two are very good at martial arts. Are you willing to serve as the commander of my personal army in my Shenwu Camp?"

The two of them were stunned for a moment, then knelt on one knee, clasped their hands together and bowed to Feng Xi, and answered loudly:
"General Meng, if you don't give up, we are willing to wait!"

Feng Xi exchanged a few more pleasantries with Old Master Bao. After all, Feng Xi was quite curious about the martial arts of the Bao brothers. From Old Master Bao's narration, he also learned about the past of the Bao family.

The Bao family was originally a powerful family in Bingzhou, and was as famous as other powerful families such as the Nie, Lu, and Gao families. Later, because of the Lu Bu incident and the war in Bingzhou, the Bao family moved to Jingzhou and had stayed in Jingzhou for decades.

In this case, Feng Xi was not surprised where the Bao brothers' tall and sturdy figures and excellent martial arts came from.

Feng Xi, the Bao brothers and Zhao Lei bid farewell to Old Master Bao and went to see how the Hu family was doing.

With the help of the personal soldiers, the luggage of the two Hu family members was prepared and loaded onto a carriage. The Hu family sat in the carriage, while Guan Yinping and Guan Suo rode on horses.

After the three Hu family members went to see Old Master Bao and said goodbye, the group finally set out on their journey home at dusk.

"It's strange, I always feel like I've forgotten something..."

Bao Feng sat on the horse and always felt something was wrong.

"Brother! Sanniang! Sanniang!"

Bao Yi thought about it and immediately thought of his sister.

As mentioned before, Guan Suo was chosen by Old Master Bao as his son-in-law, so naturally he had a daughter.

"Guan Suo! You ungrateful man! Where are you going?"

Just as the Bao brothers reacted, they heard a delicate shout from behind and saw a heroic girl riding a horse straight out of Baojiazhuang.
