Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

"Continue the drill!" Fang Zheng Yi shouted loudly.

A group of greasy, muscular men straightened up again, marching in formation.

The orderly pace was pleasing to the ear. Jingdi looked at Ren Hua and asked, "Ren Hua, what do you think of the quality of this troop?"

Ren Hua clasped his fist and said, "Your Majesty, this humble servant believes that they follow orders without fail, and there is no disorder whatsoever. It is evident that Lord Fang is skilled in leading troops, which is truly admirable."

The little thing even knows how to flatter, but he's still far from the mark!

Fang Zheng Yi interjected, "When His Majesty asks you a question, you should point out the problems. Don't say such meaningless things in the future!"

Jingdi gave Fang Zheng Yi an appreciative look.

Ren Hua didn't expect his flattery to be rebuffed, and he felt a tightness in his chest.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! Lord Fang, although the military discipline is strict, according to what Lord Fang said earlier, they have never been on the battlefield. Orderly steps and loud slogans cannot repel the enemy."

"Therefore... this humble servant believes that everything should be based on practicality. Real swords and real guns are the only way to see true ability!"

Jingdi smiled slightly, "That's right. Ren Hua, your father followed me and made many military achievements. I heard that you are also quite outstanding in the military, with the style of your father. I wonder if you have become lax now. Do you dare to go up and practice with them?"

"Of course, I dare! This humble servant has always been guided by my father, and my basic skills have never been neglected. If Your Majesty agrees, I am willing to go up and compete with them!"

"Fang Qing, what do you think? Your men won't be timid in actual combat, will they?" Jingdi asked.

Fang Zheng Yi said seriously, "Your Majesty! This troop was carefully trained by this subject for the sake of the country. Since it is to prepare for supporting the battlefield, of course, they cannot only know how to perform fancy moves!"

"To be honest, I had them slaughter pigs in the county. Over the years, each of them has seen a mountain of corpses under their hands, and their hearts are as cold as knives!"

The old ministers of the cabinet covered their mouths and snickered again.

"Fang Zheng Yi doesn't know how to train soldiers, having them practice with killing pigs. I'm afraid it won't work on the real battlefield."

"How can killing pigs be the same as killing people?"

"I don't think so. Look at that Zhang Biao, what did he do to Chi Lie before? This group of people is not simple!"

"Lord Li is right."

Jingdi also smiled, patting Fang Zheng Yi's shoulder and saying, "Fang Qing, killing pigs and killing people are completely different things. Killing a hundred pigs is not as good as killing one person."

"I have also seen soldiers who were butchers in the army, but when they got to the battlefield, their legs trembled and they were completely useless."

"However, I can understand that you have no experience."

Fang Zheng Yi wanted to explain, but when he thought of the fragmented corpses that had been messed up by these beasts, he felt a little nauseous.

The county provided two death row inmates for this group to dissect and practice on, using one corpse over and over again.

Now that they have also fought with Wu Wang's subordinates, they all seem mentally normal. It is estimated that killing people probably doesn't put much psychological burden on them...

Perhaps ordinary soldiers who have been on the battlefield might not be able to get along with them.

Seeing that he was silent, Jingdi asked again, "Fang Qing, I have already reminded you. Do you dare to let someone practice with Ren Hua?"

"Dare! Why wouldn't I dare! They think about nothing but serving the country loyally every day. If Your Majesty is here today and they can't have a good fight, I'm afraid they will regret it for the rest of their lives." Fang Zheng Yi said loudly, "You, first demonstrate your sparring for His Majesty! Later, your future superior will spar with you. You must not underestimate the enemy, and put on a good show for His Majesty!"

"Lord Fang, there's no need for that. I can just go up and fight them directly," Ren Hua said, preparing to step forward.

"No!" Fang Zheng Yi reached out to stop him, "Someone was injured just now in the strength competition. It's better for you to understand the situation first."

Ren Hua looked in the direction of Zhao Lie, with disdain in his eyes, "Although he has great strength, he may not be a match for me in one move."

Jingdi asked curiously, "Have they already competed before I arrived?"

"Oh, they compared their strength. My group of people doesn't have anything else, but they have brute strength." Fang Zheng Yi was very proud.

"The so-called breaking skill with strength, I think any technique is vulnerable in front of them!"

Ren Hua secretly rolled his eyes and said nothing more.

Jingdi smiled and waved his hand, "Begin!"

As Fang Zheng Yi ordered the start, Zhao Lie and the others' teams began to separate into pairs automatically, and some people went to the weapon rack to get wooden weapons.

After everyone was ready, Zhao Lie shouted loudly, "According to basic training, start sparring!!!"

As soon as the words fell, the sparring partners first clasped their fists and saluted, and the next moment they suddenly swung their fists at each other!

The scene became lively in an instant. The scene of a hundred groups of strong men actually sparring was extremely shocking.

Especially when they were not holding back any strength, the back-and-forth punches and kicks between the two sides were even more pleasing to the eye, like watching a martial arts blockbuster.

Zhao Lie's attacks were even more swift, jumping and maneuvering, and the parries and attacks coordinated with his opponent like flowing water.

A group of old ministers watched with admiration.

"Good! This looks particularly capable of fighting, and the fighting is also beautiful."

"Lord Li, you were right, this group of people is really not simple!"

Li Yansong stroked his beard and said, "Yes, Fang Zheng Yi cannot be judged by common sense, he has some real stuff!"

The discussion here was lively, but Jingdi and Ren Hua and others were silent.

Jingdi was expressionless, while Ren Hua became even more disdainful.

Finally, Li Yuanzhao couldn't stand it anymore. He walked to Fang Zheng Yi's side, quietly tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "Lao Fang, your group of people is not very good..."

"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Fang Zheng Yi asked.

Li Yuanzhao said seriously, "Although they look like they are fighting very beautifully, it's all fooling laymen. Real fighting is very ugly. How could you make such a low-level mistake? I remember you can also fight in the wild."

"Isn't Zhang Biao very good at fighting? Why did he change his mind when it came to this group of people?"

"Hey! Look, he's jumping and turning again! He should be leaning over here, otherwise, if the opponent slashes with a knife without defense, he will already be a corpse on the battlefield!"

"Oh! What is he rolling around for? It's really a mess!"

"Lao Fang, it's not me saying, you're wasting their good bodies for nothing. You might as well hand them over to me, and I will definitely train a elite force!"

Fang Zheng Yi whispered, "Your Highness, don't be impatient. These are all soldiers trained by Zhang Biao, so don't worry. If you like training soldiers, let Jin Yiwei recruit new people in the future and let you train to your heart's content!"

"Hmm?"

Li Yuanzhao was instantly stunned, and the next second, a honey-like smile appeared on his face as he looked at Ren Hua, and he said nothing more.

Lao Fang, this bastard, must be up to no good!

There's a big melon to eat again!

Seeing Jingdi silent, Fang Zheng Yi took the initiative to ask, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Jingdi originally wanted to tell the truth, but when he saw the smile on Fang Zheng Yi's face, his heart softened and he comforted, "Fang Qing, the soldiers you trained are still very good. I think they all have potential..."

Before he could finish his words, a sudden change occurred on the drill ground!

Zhao Lie's opponent swung his fist towards his face, and Zhao Lie twisted his waist and dodged violently!

The tip of the fist barely brushed past Zhao Lie's nose, and a little sweat, along with the fist wind, rushed to his face.

Before the enemy could retract his fist, Zhao Lie had already quickly retreated half a step, and the fist that was originally at his waist instantly turned into a palm, shooting out like lightning, straight for the opponent's chest!

At the same time, he used all his strength and roared, "Cloud Dispersing Palm!!!"

Jingdi's pupils suddenly shrank, as if struck by lightning.....
