The Prodigal Son

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Over the past three days, Qin Yu led Nan Que'er and Luo Qingyi to explore all of Panyang, but they never visited the abandoned Southern Camp even once.

Early in the morning, Qin Yu and his group arrived at the East Camp.

Yuan Ji and Lü Si also came to join in the fun.

Song Xian, however, went about his business as usual and didn't care about this matter at all.

For him, Qin Yu had his own mission, and he had his own mission!

Doing your own job well is the most important thing!

About fifteen minutes later, Qi Dachui and his thousand men also arrived at the East Camp.

As the thousand people arrived, everyone's faces immediately showed surprise.

Almost every one of Qi Dachui's thousand men was covered in blood and exuded a murderous aura.

They seemed like fierce soldiers who had just come from the battlefield.

"What's wrong with them?"

Lu Si looked at Qin Yu in astonishment, "You've trained the hammer this hard? Are you serious?"

"How would I know?"

Qin Yu shrugged. "I haven't been paying attention to this matter these past few days."

Of course he knows!

His body was covered in pig's blood!

This was a dirty trick devised by Qi Dachui and his thousands of generals.

First, get your own troops covered in blood to put pressure on the enemy, which also indirectly emboldens your own soldiers.

Lu Si curled his lip, not believing Qin Yu's nonsense at all.

That's Qi Dachui!

How could Qin Yu not care about his training progress?

As they expected, seeing the appearance of Qi Dachui's thousand men, Liang Hongqiao's men felt a strange sense of fear.

The originally orderly queue was disrupted by some minor disturbances.

"Don't panic!"

Liang Hongqiao suddenly shouted, "The blood on them isn't human blood! They're deliberately made up to scare you!"

Liang Hongqiao saw through Qi Dachui's little trick at a glance.

They wanted to have a competition, so how could Qi Dachui possibly train these people until they were covered in blood?

Hearing Liang Hongqiao's loud shout, the previously chaotic queue gradually calmed down.

A smile flashed across Yuan Ji's face as he turned to Qin Yu: "Qi Dachui's trick has been seen through by Qiao Ye."

"fine."

Qin Yu smiled nonchalantly, "Let's watch the competition first!"

It's no use figuring it out!

This thing is all about the momentum!

Their outburst dampened the morale of Liang Hongqiao's men.

Even if they now know that it's not human blood, their momentum can't be restored immediately.

"Too!"

Yuan Ji nodded, and seeing that both sides had entered the training ground and lined up, he immediately ordered, "Beat the drums to cheer them on!"

"Knock knock knock..."

At Yuan Ji's command, the sound of rapid war drums immediately filled the camp.

"kill!"

With a deafening roar, Liang Hongqiao's soldiers were the first to charge.

The rules of the competition were simple and straightforward.

The two sides fought hand-to-hand.

No low-down tactics like groin grabbing or eye gouging are allowed.

Anyone whose helmet is removed is considered dead and must immediately withdraw from the battle.

"kill!"

At the same time, Qi Dachui also issued an order.

"Charge! Strip the handsome young man naked!"

Qi Dachui's thousand men roared in unison and charged forward fiercely.

The sound of a thousand people shouting together was very loud.

Everyone heard their slogans.

Strip the handsome man naked!

To be honest, many people in the military have had this thought, and they've made similar jokes in private quite a bit.

It's not that they're despicable or shameless; it's just that it's rare to see women in the military.

Seeing a female mosquito can spark a lot of banter.

But no one ever dared to actually think about it, nor did anyone dare to shout it out.

At this moment, the thousand people shouted out in public, causing many of Liang Hongqiao's subordinates to pause for a moment, and some even subconsciously stopped and turned to look at Liang Hongqiao's face.

Liang Hongqiao's face turned ashen.

She wasn't angry because of the other party's slogans, but because she was extremely dissatisfied with the thousand men under her command.

A bunch of idiots!

Didn't you realize this was a psychological tactic?

The enemy is almost upon them, and they're still distracted and looking around aimlessly?

Nan Que'er and Luo Qingyi's gazes fell on Qin Yu simultaneously.

Upon seeing this, Qin couldn't help but cry out in his heart that he was innocent.

In all honesty, this is definitely not what he taught me!

Big Hammer probably wouldn't have come up with such a dirty trick.

Either it was his men who came up with it, or it was Qin Xiong who suggested it!

At the same time, Qi Dachui's thousand men pounced on them like hungry wolves.

Soon, the two sides were locked in a fierce battle.

As soon as the battle began, Yuan Ji sensed that something was wrong.

Among Qi Dachui's thousand-man squad, there was a group of exceptionally fierce men who charged across the battlefield like a sharp blade, completely disrupting the enemy's formation.

"Were these 100 people specifically selected?"

Yuan Ji asked Qin Yu with a smile.

"Um."

Qin Yu nodded slightly. "They are there as the spearhead!"

Yuan Ji smiled and looked back at the two sides on the training ground.

In fact, he already knew in his heart that the outcome was basically a foregone conclusion.

Qi Dachui and his team were much better prepared than Liang Hongqiao.

They truly treated this competition as a real battle.

Although Liang Hongqiao's men had made ample preparations, they had not studied their opponents at all.

Perhaps she disdained to inquire about Qi Dachui's training methods, or perhaps she believed she understood Qi Dachui's thousand men better than anyone else.

The battle continued, with more and more people being forced to leave the battlefield after their helmets were removed.

Some people even accidentally fall, and their helmets fall off naturally.

As more and more soldiers from Liang Hongqiao's side withdrew from the battlefield, the outcome of the competition was no longer in doubt.

However, even so, Liang Hongqiao's soldiers did not give up.

The competition ended when the last soldier was pinned to the ground and his helmet was removed by several people.

Liang Hongqiao's side was completely "defeated".

Qi Dachui's side, however, still had more than four hundred people.

Faced with this result, Liang Hongqiao looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Just wait and see how I deal with you!"

Liang Hongqiao glanced coldly at the "fallen" soldiers, snatched her spear from her personal guard, and went straight to Qi Dachui. "The soldiers' competition is over, now it's our turn to spar!"

Qi Dachui hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Okay!"

As he spoke, Qi Dachui threw the golden mace he was holding onto the ground.

Liang Hong frowned slightly. "You want to fight me bare-handed?"

Qi Dachui scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "I'm strong, I'm afraid I might accidentally hurt you."

"Then I don't use weapons!"

Liang Hongqiao threw down the fine iron spear in her hand, exerted force with her feet, and launched the first attack.

Upon seeing this, Qi Dachui immediately dodged to the side.

Liang Hongqiao's powerful kick missed its mark, but she immediately leaped up and unleashed a series of kicks on Qi Dachui.

Qi Dachui did not retaliate, but simply crossed his arms to protect his chest, enduring several kicks from Liang Hongqiao. His body stood there like a pillar in the East China Sea, without moving an inch.

"Fight back!"

Enraged by Qi Dachui's "disdain," Liang Hongqiao suddenly struck Qi Dachui in the face with a palm strike.

This palm strike unleashed her full power, the wind from it whistling as it struck.

Qi Dachui dodged again, and subconsciously punched her in the chest.

However, the moment his fist was thrown, Qi Dachui, fearing he might hurt her, quickly pulled back his fist, but was then struck in the back by Liang Hongqiao's elbow, finally managing to move a few steps...
