Chapter 218 Agree
Zhao Baoye glanced at the sword on Meng Qingzheng's waist.

The reason why he stopped her and questioned her again and again was because she was carrying a sharp weapon.

I didn't know she was a woman before, but now I know that she is a woman, and from her mouth and Yan Lang's mouth, I can tell that she is a martial artist.

Zhao Baoye didn't mind Meng Qingzheng provoking him, it's just a man, the most intolerable thing is being provoked by a woman.

Zhao Baoye didn't answer directly, but asked first: "How old is Miss Meng this year?"

It was a bit abrupt to ask the girl's name, but when Zhao Baoye asked, Meng Qingzheng didn't hold back, and replied, "I am 12 years old this year."

Zhao Baoye: "..."

It turned out to be a child.

Zhao Baoye clasped his hands and said, "I'm Zhao Baoye, I'm 23 years old this year, Miss Meng, I'm 11 years older than you, and I'm a man. If we just compete like this, it will be unfair. Otherwise, I don't need weapons..."

"Need not!"

Before Zhao Baoye finished speaking, Meng Qingzheng interrupted:
"If you are an enemy now, will you consider whether I am a child, a woman, and give up your weapons to fight me? You will not, so, don't treat me as a child, as a woman, you have to treat me as an enemy , I joined the patrol team because I thought of a certain role, to help you, not to let you take care of me, I will also face the possibility of fighting the enemy alone, right? Since there is that possibility, I You must have the ability to fight alone, and I will compete with you to prove to you that I have the ability to fight, and I join you not for fun, but to increase actual combat ability."

Zhao Baoye still had concerns at first, but after hearing Meng Qingzheng's words, he dispelled all worries and said solemnly: "It's because I'm short-sighted. Indeed, if it's an enemy, he won't care if you are a child or a woman. He will only treat you as an enemy and kill you quickly."

Zhao Baoye used a knife. Most of the men in Lanzhouguan learned how to use a knife. Yan Lang's skill in a knife is very powerful, which is partly due to local customs.

Zhao Baoye drew out the saber from his waist and made a gesture of invitation.

Meng Qingzheng drew out the sword from her waist.

Yan Lang and Guo Xin stepped aside, as did the patrolling Qi soldiers.

Guo Xin asked in a low voice: "Master, will Miss Meng win?"

Yan Lang squinted his eyes. When he was at Dongchang Pass earlier, Yan Lang and Meng Qingzheng had a competition. At that time, Yan Lang used a sword, and Meng Qingzheng also used a sword. They competed all afternoon, and there was no difference. Win or lose.

Meng Qingzheng's swordsmanship is very powerful, it can be said that it surpasses Qi Rongchu.

Of course, every time Qi Rongchu competed with Yan Lang, he didn't try his best, Yan Lang knew that.

When Yan Lang competed with Qi Rongchu, he didn't use all his internal strength.

Yan Lang said that Meng Qingzheng's swordsmanship surpassed Qi Rongchu's, referring to the strength that Qi Rongchu showed when Yan Lang and Qi Rongchu competed.

Although Qi Rongchu had reservations, the strength Qi Rongchu showed was also very powerful.

Yan Lang's evaluation of Meng Qingzheng surpassed Qi Rongchu's strength, which shows that Meng Qingzheng is indeed very powerful.

Just because there was no winner, Yan Lang couldn't figure out where Meng Qingzheng's limit was.

But at that time Yan Lang used a sword, but now, Zhao Baoye used a knife.

Yan Lang from Lanzhou Pass knew very well that the men in Lanzhou Pass, especially those who wield swords, generally had deep internal strength. He wondered if Meng Qingzheng could win against Zhao Baoye's sword technique.

Yan Lang said: "I don't know either, just watch."

The soldiers on patrol were also talking in low voices.

Zhao Baoye and Meng Qingzheng were not affected by the voices from both sides, Zhao Baoye said: "Ms. Meng please first."

Meng Qingzheng didn't shirk, turned her wrist nimbly, and the Yuhua sword swung sharply in the air, and soon a crescent-like sword energy struck towards Zhao Baoye.

The patrolling soldiers next to them, as well as Yan Lang and Guo Xin, all felt a coolness, and the fierce force of the sword energy.

Guo was slightly startled in his confidence. Although the winner had not yet been decided, the strength Meng Qingzheng displayed in this first move was shocking.

Guo Xin thought of what Meng Qingzheng said just now, she is 12 years old this year, and he is also 12 years old, both are 12 years old, he is still a man, but he is not as good as Meng Qingzheng, compared with Meng Qingzheng, he is really Much worse.

Guo Xin glanced at Yan Lang beside him again, feeling very guilty in his heart.

Yan Lang is very supportive of him learning martial arts, but he doesn't seem to be very talented, and he hasn't made much progress.

Yan Lang stared at Zhao Baoye and Meng Qingzheng closely, not daring to distract himself, so he didn't see Guo Xin's expression.

Meng Qingzheng's crescent sword qi was very powerful, it looked like a small crescent, but if he got hit, it would definitely hurt his muscles and bones.

The Crescent Sword Qi was very fast, and it reached Zhao Baoye's right arm in the blink of an eye. Although Zhao Baoye practiced saber techniques, his speed was also fast and his reaction was quick. After Meng Qingzheng swept over with his sword, he immediately moved back Flip, avoiding that sword energy.

After the sword qi passed over his head, he quickly got up, but just as he stood up, another sword qi hit him head-on. This time he had no time to dodge, so he could only quickly raise the big knife and block it sideways.

With a bang, the sword energy collided with the blade, making an ear-piercing sound, and at the same time, a cold light of the blade flashed from the place where it collided.

Zhao Baoye was hit by the sword energy and took three steps back. When he stood still, he felt numbness in his tiger's mouth. His eyes were slightly startled, and he looked up at Meng Qingzheng.

Meng Qingzheng was cupping her hands: "Captain Zhao, I've accepted."

In the first round, Meng Qingzheng undoubtedly won.

Zhao Baoye really didn't expect Meng Qingzheng to have such great strength and sword intent. She is only 12 years old. Given time, it is unimaginable.

Zhao Baoye blushed: "It's no match, if it continues, I'm ashamed to be the captain. Although there is only one round, I already know your strength. You are indeed no worse than ordinary soldiers. That's good. I'll go back to report to Yuan Guanhou at night. Now, report your strength truthfully, and if Yuan Guanhou agrees, I will bring three more sets of soldier uniforms when I get the pen and paper tomorrow morning."

He looked at Yan Lang and asked, "Where do we meet?"

Yan Lang mentioned a place, after all he was familiar with Lanzhou Pass, and he was the strongest in the team of three, so of course he was the one who spoke.

Zhao Baoye said: "I know that place, well, we will meet at Zaozi Temple tomorrow."

Zhao Baoye still had to patrol, but Yan Lang didn't plan to participate in the patrol today, so he parted ways with Zhao Baoye and his party.

Meng Qingzheng went to lead her own horse, and asked Yan Lang: "There is still some time before dark, where are we going and what are we going to do?"

Yan Lang said: "I'm not going anywhere, just here, the three of us will compete with each other."

Guo Xin said weakly: "I can't compare to yours."

Yan Lang smiled and said: "It's not about winning or losing. It's about getting familiar with the opponent's moves and cultivating a tacit understanding. To a certain extent, we know how to make use of our strengths and avoid weaknesses. We didn't really meet the enemy before, so we won't be so lucky later. When it comes to the enemy, Guo Xin, don't fight alone, first with me, or with Miss Meng. If you have to separate, you must have the knack of victory. You will definitely be able to deal with enemies who are similar in strength to you, but if you meet Don't panic when you meet an enemy who is stronger than you, just treat Miss Meng and me as enemies and practice first."

Yan Lang has already been on the real battlefield, plus he has semi-supernatural powers, not only can he know the position of the enemy in advance, he can also predict the direction of the enemy's moves. For Yan Lang, winning is very simple.

But Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin couldn't do it.

Yan Lang wants to train them first.

Meng Qingzheng wanted to fight against Yan Lang, and Guo Xin also wanted to fight against Meng Qingzheng after watching the competition between Meng Qingzheng and Zhao Baoye.

In the evening, Yan Lang took Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin to Zaozi Temple.

The Zaozi Temple is very small. It is more like a pavilion than a temple. Because a land god is enshrined in the pavilion, and there is a huge jujube tree outside, so it is named Zaozi Temple.

It's just that this temple has long been abandoned. When Yan Lang was young, he never saw anyone come to offer incense, which shows how long this temple has been abandoned.

The temple is not big, but fortunately there are doors all around, some of which are broken and some of which are intact.

After Yan Lang brought Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin in, he briefly introduced the temple and asked Guo Xin to light the fire.

Guo Xin picked up some twigs and weeds, took out a fire pocket, and lit a fire.

Yan Lang said to Meng Qingzheng: "If you want to follow me and Guo Xin, you will have no bed to sleep in every night. You still have this temple to live in today, but tomorrow you may not even have this temple. Maybe you have to sleep outside. After all, patrolling If you don't, you may not be able to come back here every day, can you bear it if you eat and sleep in the open?"

Meng Qingzheng sat down on the ground and looked up at Yan Lang: "I want to join the army, but I can't even stand this little suffering, so why should I join the army? Stop talking nonsense, sit down and rest for a while. "

Yan Lang: "..."

He smiled, sat down on the other side of the fire, put his hands behind his head, and lay down on the ground.

He looked at the top of his head and said: "I was worrying too much. You have a firm belief and will not be influenced by any suffering. I will never say such a thing in the future."

He turned his head and asked Guo Xin: "Do we have any dry food?"

Guo Xin nodded: "Yes."

Yan Lang said: "Take out some food and go to bed after eating. We have now reached Lanzhou Pass and met Brother Zhao. Don't be afraid to be hungry again. If there is nothing to eat, let Brother Zhao bring it to us. You don’t have to save tonight, just eat hard until you’re full.”

In order to hurry on the road, Yan Lang and Guo Xin didn't bring much dry food, they were afraid that it would be too heavy and they ran slowly.

I rushed to Lanzhou Pass all the way, and I didn't eat a few times in the middle. I still had some dry food, but not too much, after all, I brought less.

But what Yan Lang said was right, now he is connected with Zhao Baoye, Zhao Baoye goes back to the city every night, and comes out during the day, if there is no food, just ask Zhao Baoye to bring it for him.

Guo Xin took out the remaining four steamed buns, gave one to Yan Lang, and another to Meng Qingzheng.

Meng Qingzheng also brought food with her when she came out, but she didn't bring much. She didn't eat all day during the day, and now she has food, so she's welcome, and eats the steamed buns as soon as she takes them.

After eating one, Yan Lang picked up the last steamed bun and gave it to Meng Qingzheng.

Meng Qingzheng didn't answer, and said: "This is the last steamed bun, save it for tomorrow."

Yan Lang said with a smile: "No, after meeting with Third Brother Zhao tomorrow, we will naturally eat with them. When they come out to patrol, they must have something to eat. Let's eat theirs first."

Meng Qingzheng: "..."

She smiled and said, "Would he be unhappy if he grabbed food from Captain Zhao's men?"

Yan Lang raised his eyebrows: "Who said I'm going to steal it? I think Third Brother Zhao will definitely bring us something to eat tomorrow. Let's eat our own portion, it's not called grabbing."

Meng Qingzheng's forehead twitched: "I said something wrong."

She reached out to take the steamed buns and said, "Since you are sure that we will have something to eat tomorrow, then I will not be polite, but will you and Guo Xin stop eating?"

Yan Lang said: "I'll just drink some water, mainly because I want to rest."

Guo Xin also said: "I won't eat, I'll also drink some water, and I'm going to sleep."

Meng Qingzheng groaned, feeling warm in her heart. She glanced at Guo Xin, then at Yan Lang, and said, "Go to sleep, I'll keep watch first."

Yan Lang closed his eyes: "There is no need to watch the night, Jiang Guo soldiers will not come out at night, at least in this period, they will not come out at night, tonight you can sleep steadily, even after you eat the steamed buns."

Before going to sleep, Yan Lang activated his semi-magical powers, and found out the environment in a large area around him. It was very safe, with no enemies or wild animals.

It's a little cold on the ground, but it's not winter, and the coolness is bearable.

Yan Lang and Guo Xin soon fell asleep.

Meng Qingzheng finished eating the steamed buns, sat there drinking water for a while, and then lay down to sleep.

The next morning, the three of them were discussing outside the Zaozi Temple, and Zhao Baoye brought the patrolling soldiers over.

Seeing Zhao Baoye, Yan Lang immediately shouted, "Brother Zhao!"

He walked over quickly and asked with a smile on his face, "Did you tell Yuan Guanhou about us when you went back last night? What did Yuan Guanhou say?"

Zhao Baoye first handed the pen and paper to Yan Lang, Yan Lang took it, and then gave it to Meng Qingzheng. Meng Qingzheng didn't write the letter immediately, but stood there, listening to Zhao Baoye's answer.

Zhao Baoye said: "Yuan Guanhou agreed."

He approached Yan Lang again, and whispered: "You don't even know, I went back and told Yuan Guanhou that you came to Lanzhou Pass and revealed that the Yan family was also recalled, and when they will arrive at Lanzhou Pass in a few days, how much Yuan Guanhou has done?" Excited, if Huang Wuhou hadn't gone to Guiyang City, Yuan Guanhou had too many things to do, and he would have come out to meet you."

Yan Lang rubbed his head and said with a smile: "That's not necessary. I'm very grateful to Yuan Guanhou for agreeing to allow the three of us to join the patrol team." He paused: "It's three people, right? Miss Meng was also arrested. Are you allowed to join the patrolling soldiers?"

Zhao Baoye glanced at Meng Qingzheng next to him, nodded and said, "It's three people. I also told Yuan Guanhou about Miss Meng's situation. You are very welcome, but Yuan Guanhou emphasized that Miss Meng should write a letter to her father, so that if something happens to Miss Meng, Meng Guanhou will trouble Yuan Guanhou."

"..."

This meant that Meng Qingzheng could join the patrol team, but she would not be responsible for any accidents.
