Border Cook

Chapter 254 A good start
Lu Qiyan laughed, "If we beat him up like a pig, won't he be punished by military law? The last incident was traced back to him, but we don't have any actual evidence. Even if we argue, I'm afraid the military commander will think we are the one causing the trouble."

"But is that all?"

That's too cowardly!
"How could that be?" Lu Qiyan narrowed his eyes. "Just now Commander Shen said that there will be a military review in two days, and this review will include a martial arts competition."

A contest of force?

That would be great!
At that time, I can beat him with justification!
No one will complain no matter how hard you beat him, and you will even be praised for your superior fighting power!

Wow, that’s great just to think about.

So the soldiers began to look forward to the review two days later.

At the same time, all those who are eligible to participate in the review competition are looking forward to this review.

After all, if one wants to stand out in the army, fighting and winning military merits on the battlefield is indeed a way out, but swords are blind on the battlefield, and being able to save one's life is already good enough. Fighting against the enemy and taking their heads inevitably requires some luck.

Moreover, in a major war, which people are sent to do what tasks is all decided by the superiors, and they have no say in the matter. This often limits their abilities and skills.

In short, it didn't go as planned.

But the review is different, it is a one-on-one martial arts competition, it is fair and just, the opportunity is rare and the chance of someone coming out on top is high.

Therefore, in addition to looking forward to it, everyone is also preparing carefully in order to shine.

Two days passed in a flash, and soon it was the day for review.

The first ones to have a contest of martial arts are all the captains.

The border garrison here is a wing with a total of ten armies, and each army has five battalions, each battalion has five captains, and the cavalry battalion has only four captains. Therefore, there are a total of 5 captains in the entire military camp.

Among these 246 people, the 25 captains in each army will first compete with each other. The winners will then compete with the victorious captains in other armies until the most powerful one is selected.

All competitions are based on the principle of self-challenge. Once one person goes on stage, others can challenge him/her at will. The one who falls to the ground or is kicked off the stage is the loser. The winner can continue to accept challenges from others until the last person is left.

In this way, the first person who takes the initiative to challenge is likely to suffer a loss.

After all, if you want to win, you need to constantly accept challenges from others. Once you can't support it physically and get kicked off the stage, all your efforts will be in vain.

Therefore, many people have their own plans and are just waiting to take a look at the situation before making any plans.

Lu Qiyan stood up, jumped onto the stage, and bowed to the people below, "Thank you."

When this action was taken, everyone had different expressions.

Some people lamented that the seemingly gentle Lu Qiyan was so arrogant, while others murmured that Lu Qiyan looked quite a delicate man, but was so impatient and was about to suffer a great loss.

But some people frowned, "Since we are going to gamble, we must gamble for a big prize. If we can stand from the beginning to the end, wouldn't we become famous and be praised as a legend?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately realized, "No wonder Lu Dutou, who never likes to fight with others, acted like this, it turns out that he had this idea in mind."

"You need to have the ability to pull this off. If you run out of energy after a few rounds and get kicked off the stage, no matter how glorious it was at the beginning, you will end up in a state of disgrace."

"indeed so……"

Many people still have different thoughts and are thinking about what is best for themselves.

But there were also people who looked down upon Lu Qiyan's high-spirited spirit at this time. After taking three or two quick steps, they jumped directly onto the stage and said, "I'm here to meet you!" The person who spoke was called Wang Dali. He had a dark complexion and a tall figure. Even through his padded clothes, his muscles were still clearly visible.

This mountain-like figure makes him look even taller when standing opposite Lu Qiyan, who has a gentle temperament. Lu Qiyan looks a little thin.

In the end, a contest of martial arts is a competition among soldiers themselves. No weapons are allowed. They can only win with bare hands and strength.

When people with such different body sizes stood on the same stage, the people watching below were all sweating.

Especially the people in other camps, who did not know Lu Qiyan’s strength, had already made a conclusion at this time - Wang Dali was sure to win!

Even the soldiers led by Wang Dali were cheering and applauding for him.

Wang Dali was also full of confidence. He just raised his chin and said, "If you beg for mercy now, you can avoid physical pain!"

Lu Qiyan just smiled slightly, took a half step forward, and naturally formed a horse stance, with one hand behind his back and the other hand stretched forward, "Please."

"Looking for death!" Wang Dali shouted angrily, and his clenched fist was already moving towards Lu Qiyan.

The fist was as big as a sandbag, with a whistling sound and a fierce momentum. If it really hit a person, I'm afraid two bones would be broken.

But Lu Qiyan turned to the side and easily avoided it. He quickly clenched his hand into a fist and rushed straight to Wang Dali's waist.

Lu Qiyan's punch didn't look sharp, but it was extremely fast, leaving Wang Dali no room to dodge and hitting him directly on the waist.

Wang Dali only felt a tingling sensation in his waist and frowned immediately. He was already filled with anger and pounced on Lu Qiyan again.

Lu Qiyan still attacked with his fist, this time still at the waist, but on the other side.

There was another tingling sensation, not painful but making one feel uncomfortable all over, making Wang Dali, who was already at a disadvantage, even more irritable.

But no matter how angry he was, the discomfort in his body made his attack speed drop visibly.

Lu Qiyan took advantage of this opportunity to intensify his offensive, and when Wang Dali was no longer able to fight back after several punches, he simply kicked him out.

This kick was just like his punch. It didn't seem to have much force, but it made Wang Dali unable to stand up straight. He took several steps back and fell to the stage.

Logically speaking, after a competition, there should be cheers and applause for the winner.

However, at this moment, the audience where Lu Qiyan was standing was completely silent.

First, the competition progressed too quickly, and the result came out in just half a cup of tea.

Second, many people simply couldn't believe that Wang Dali, who was tall and strong like an ox, was defeated by Lu Qiyan, who looked gentle and handsome.

It was not until Zhao Youcai and others shouted excitedly, "Well done!" that everyone cheered and praised Lu Qiyan for his great achievement.

After a good start, Lu Qiyan felt at ease and the light in his eyes became more and more steady.

However, the other city leaders who were thinking of waiting and watching were becoming increasingly restless.

They didn't expect that Lu Qiyan had the ability to knock Wang Dali off the stage with just a few moves. They were a little skeptical and wanted to try Lu Qiyan's true strength themselves.

I feel very grateful to the little cuties who strongly supported Cha Nuan in June. In the new month, I hope to get their continued support~
