Cypress Boat Floating

Chapter 201: Establishing Trust

On an open grassland, a team of about a hundred people cleared a space in the middle of the grassland. Except for those who were on guard to protect the food and fodder, the rest of the people either stood or sat around, their eyes fixed on the space in the middle.

"Ms. Ye, what are you doing as a little girl? Are you going to compete?" During this period of time, everyone noticed that Ye Jianqing and Lu Ci Qiu had a close relationship. Everyone thought that this little girl was brought here by Lu Ci Qiu who couldn't stand the environment in Beiguan and came to take care of Lu Ci Qiu, the noble prince, and they never paid any attention to her.

Ye Jianqing, who was in the middle of the open space, stretched his arms, twisted his waist, and moved his feet to warm up. When he heard this, he raised his head and smiled at the source of the voice: "Yes, I'm going to challenge here today. The loser has to follow me."

"What if I win? Will I marry you?" the owner of the voice teased. Everyone around laughed. It was obvious that no one thought Ye Jianqing would win.

Ye Jianqing smiled, not taking it seriously, raised his eyebrows, and said in a provocative tone: "It depends on whether you can beat me."

After these words were spoken, those energetic young men were furious. They were like people who had been injected with chicken blood. They could not stand the slightest stimulation and immediately rolled up their sleeves, ready to go on the field and fight with Ye Jianqing to see who was better.

"You're just a girl with tiny arms and legs, how can you beat us?" It was the same voice again, but this time the words sounded a little contemptuous.

Ye Jianqing didn't care and stood there calmly. She had heard these words before. When their team was about to be formed, didn't the men in the military camp say the same thing? In the end, they were beaten badly by their team.

"You can challenge me if you want, but I don't fight weaklings. Pick the strongest among you to fight me. I will only fight this person."

"Let's fight!" The young man pushed through the crowd and walked in from outside. He claimed that he was the most powerful man in the army and no one in the barracks could beat him.

Lu Ci Qiu, who had been standing aside and watching the fight, frowned as soon as the young man started to speak. This man was too vulgar and rude. His words were all teasing to Ye Jianqing. He didn't like any of them. It really almost pissed him off. Ye Jianqing was the girl he held in his heart, and no one could stand being teased like this.

And when I saw him appear, his brows were furrowed so tightly that they looked like they could almost pinch a fly to death.

This young man was about the same height as Lu Zhixing, a head taller than Lu Ci Qiu now, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a full forehead. Although he had walked for such a long time, there was no sign of fatigue on his face. He was even as heroic and energetic as when he first set out.

Looking at Ye Jianqing on the opposite side, she was thin and small, even in armor, she was still thin. People who didn't know her would think that the boss treated her harshly and didn't give her food. She was not tall, only reaching the other person's chest. This was the result of her growth over the past year. If it was last year, she would have been even shorter.

Even though the two of them looked very unequal, not to mention the young man on the opposite side who was going to challenge, even among all the people present, there were only two people who believed that Ye Jianqing could beat the other party. One was Arnold, who had fought with Ye Jianqing before, and the other was Lu Ci Qiu, who had witnessed Ye Jianqing's growth from strong to stronger.

This person is now speaking arrogantly, and I am afraid that he will be furious after being beaten down by Ye Jianqing. Lu Ciqiu is only worried that this person will do something to hurt Ye Jianqing if he cannot beat Ye Jianqing.

Qian Hongzhen, who was standing by, must have felt Lu Ci Qiu's nervousness and uneasiness, and he showed a pleasant smile with a bad intention.

He didn't know Ye Jianqing, nor did he know clearly, but during this period of time he could feel the importance of this person to Lu Ciqiu. Lu Ciqiu basically had to discuss everything with her and let her know everything, which made Qian Hongzhen feel a little uncomfortable. There had never been a woman accompanying the army in the barracks, but now this woman was allowed to follow.

Even at the most important moment, she made such unsafe suggestions, but Lu Ci Qiu believed her very much. The man who wanted to challenge Ye Jianqing was indeed the most powerful in the military camp this time. He had practiced martial arts since he was a child. If he could survive on the battlefield this time and gain military merit, he might be able to become a deputy general in the future. Qian Hongzhen had high hopes for him.

Game start.

The competition set by Ye Jianqing is very simple. You can use any weapons you want. As long as you can defeat her within the specified time, you win. If you are defeated by her within the specified time or if you have not defeated her after the time limit has passed, you lose.

Because this time she wanted elite soldiers who would be obedient, she also knew that as a woman she did not have enough say in this military camp full of men, and they would only look down on her. Instead of trying hard to convince them later, it would be better to scare them right from the beginning and let them know how powerful she is.

The military camp only recognizes the strong. As long as you are strong enough, you can win the support of the people.

The two stood on their own sides. Considering that this person would follow her day and night to Beiguan, Ye Jianqing did not use any weapons, but just the simplest fists. Seeing that she had no weapons, the other party was arrogant and now felt that he could not be looked down upon by the other party, so he did not bully weak women, so he did not use weapons either.

So, the two of them just relied on their fists to see who would win.

Preparing for battle, Ye Jianqing got into fighting posture. She had practiced countless kinds of fighting before traveling through time, and had trained with people of all arms and weights in the army. Now, facing a child who was less than eighteen years old was naturally no problem. You have to know that the fighting in their army is basically a fusion of the core points of various boxing techniques in the five thousand years of Daxia.

The other party is ready.

"I don't bully girls. You make the first move." At this point, the opponent obviously still did not take Ye Jianqing seriously.

"Are you sure?" Ye Jianqing smiled. Although she couldn't guarantee that she could knock the other person down with one punch, it would more or less affect his subsequent moves, so she still refused: "You go first, I'm afraid you'll fall down as soon as I make a move."

The words were the truth, but they sounded quite provocative to the other party, which really stimulated him and made him even more angry. He was determined to knock Ye Jianqing down.

Having said this, the opponent no longer held back and threw a punch straight at Ye Jianqing's face. His speed was extremely fast, and his punch was powerful and ruthless.

Some of the onlookers even covered their eyes, not daring to look at Ye Jianqing's ruined pretty face. Even the person who made the move believed that his punch would definitely hit the target.

There was a loud bang.

Everyone thought that the punch hit Ye Jianqing in the face. Although the sound was too muffled and did not sound like a hit on the face, when they looked up, they saw the big boy lying on the ground with an incredible look on his face.

"You're too slow." Ye Jianqing stretched out his hand to him, trying to pull him up.

"what?"

"what!"

"what!!!"

The onlookers were all shocked and surprised. This man's punches were very fast, and few people in the army could dodge his punches. Now a woman actually said that his punches were too slow!

The young man obviously did not accept this fact. He slapped Ye Jianqing's hand away and climbed up by himself: "Impossible, what happened just now doesn't count. Try again. You must have cheated just now."

Ye Jianqing shrugged and rubbed his wrist helplessly: "Doesn't your shoulder hurt?"

“???” After Ye Jianqing said this, the other party felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the connection of his shoulder joint.

"How did you do that just now?" The other person rubbed his shoulders. After all, he was just a half-grown boy, very naive. Although he was not convinced, he also felt that he had indeed been knocked down by the other person just now.

"Your punch was too straight. Come on, do it again in slow motion." Ye Jianqing didn't care at all about the aggressive words the other party had just said. Seeing that the other party wanted to learn, she didn't hide her skills and was ready to teach everyone how she had subdued the other party just now.

"I'll teach you once so everyone can see clearly." When this scene came, her attitude as a coach and a former recruit came out, as if the hundred or so soldiers in front of her were all her recruits.

The young man who had just been knocked down did as Ye Jianqing said, stood in the original position and slowed down to punch Ye Jianqing. At this time, Ye Jianqing stepped forward with his right foot, lowered his center of gravity on his foot, exerted force with both feet, held the wrist of the punch with his left hand, and held the joint between the shoulder and the arm with his right hand: "Everyone look carefully, right hand, the right hand must be placed here." Ye Jianqing repeatedly put his right hand up and down so that everyone could see clearly.

"Use your opponent's arm as a lever and your own back as a fulcrum, and throw your opponent out with force. This is the most basic over-the-shoulder throw." As he said that, Ye Jianqing threw his opponent to the ground again, but this time it was lighter, not as heavy as the first time.

Someone raised his hand: "Miss Ye, what is a lever? What is a fulcrum?"

Ye Jianqing, who had just thrown someone down, clapped his hands and said, "That's a good question. What is a lever? What is a fulcrum? I can only explain this to you when you get to Beiguan. Now that you've lost to me, do you have to let me pick ten people to follow you?"

"Where are you going?"

"Follow me, and support the Flame Army as a light cavalry squad."

"Ten people? How to support?" Everyone was puzzled.

“Why can’t ten people be enough? As long as I’m here, five people will be enough, but five people may not be able to provide help to the rest of the army by then, so I require ten people.” Ye Jianqing smiled and sat on the ground, his face full of confidence. The people who were originally not convinced were attracted by Ye Jianqing’s move and his confidence at this moment, and all came over, wanting to listen carefully to how Ye Jianqing was going to use ten people to support the Flame Army and subsequently open a breakthrough for this army escorting food and grass.
