Chapter 29: Chapter 29 No Clothes
On the other side, seeing that the people in the front Jiushi had finished walking, Heifu smiled and said, "Look, they are far worse than us."
"Yes."
"If we don't compare, we don't know that we can walk so well."
Everyone agreed with it. If they hadn't trained day and night in the past few days, they really didn't know that the team could walk like this! In this way, everyone added a little more confidence.
Just at this time, Chen Baijiang on the earth platform waved the flag, and it was Guishi's turn to appear.
"Don't panic, follow the training on weekdays..."
Holding the bamboo pole high as a sign, Heifu whispered to the people behind him. He could see the tension of the people. Even though they had participated in similar competitions in the past, they were just to cope with it. This time, everyone went straight to win the championship, and their mentality was very different.
"Don't panic, I just want to fart, but I dare not, it would be bad if the two county lieutenants heard it..."
Ji Ying's muttering came from the back. This guy is also a talent. Just one sentence made everyone happy and the nervous mood disappeared.
Everyone held back their laughter and began to follow Hei Fu's rhythm, marching in place, and after aligning the team, they slowly walked forward...
The clacking sound of marching in unison continued, and the earthen platform where the two county lieutenants were located was getting closer and closer to them, so close that they could see the faces of the people on it.
Bin Baijiang's face was full of shock. He was absent due to official business in the past few days and failed to see Gui Shi's subtle progress. At this moment, he suddenly saw this team with neat steps slowly coming. His eyes were full of disbelief, and what he said to Hei Fu that day was still ringing in his ears.
"If Gui Shi can win the championship, I will do 300 distance jumps and 300 dances in this training ground!"
Now it seems that this situation is really possible!
"This is bad..." General Bin Bai gritted his teeth and stared at Heifu and Guishi, trying to find out every mistake they made!
However, although the people of Guishi were so nervous that their hands and feet were numb, Heifu's training and Dongmen Bao's beatings on them made them move their left and right feet accurately, swing their arms back and forth naturally, and walk in unison.
It was not until the front of the earth platform that Heifu shouted "Stand!" and then the left foot took another half step forward, straightened the legs, and quickly brought the right foot close to the left foot, heavily pressed together, and made a stomping sound...
"Turn right!"
Heifu took the lead in holding the bamboo pole and completed a standard right turn. Glancing at them, he saw that although everyone was so nervous that their faces were red and their necks were thick, no one fell behind, and no one turned the wrong direction.
"The most difficult stage is passed..."
He let out a long sigh, and then continued to shout orders, asking everyone to complete the two actions of "sitting up" and "front and back" in front of the two county lieutenants and generals on the earth platform. Although the eyes of the generals on the stage were wide open, no one in Guishi made a mistake.
General Bin Bai was anxious, and the face of the county left lieutenant Yun Man, who knew the inside story, became darker and darker, but in the eyes of the county right lieutenant Du Xian, the performance of this Guishi was really amazing!
When everyone in Guishi came in unison, Du Xian felt that this team was different from any previous team. They were neat and orderly, and they walked to the front and stopped in unison. Compared with the previous nine teams with messy footsteps, it was really pleasing to the eye. You know, whether it is practical or aesthetic, the Qin people have a special liking for regularity.
Especially the squad leader Heifu at the head of the platoon, a big man with his head held high. His momentum and confidence were completely incomparable to the night watchmen and county soldiers present. Only the elite Qin army "Sharp Soldiers" that Du Xian had seen in Guanzhong could compete with him!
"I didn't expect that there would be such a person among my night watchmen in Anlu County!"
Before Du Xian could finish his sigh, Guishi had completed all the movements. With Heifu's "Stand Up!", they all stood up from their squatting positions. Whether it was the tallest Mu or the shortest Zhu. Whether it was the fierce-looking squad leader Dongmen Bao or the most shy Xiao Tao, even Chao Bo who had served countless times, they all held their heads high and held their chests high, as straight as green pines!
According to the rules, Heifu should have led everyone to turn left and leave at this time, but Heifu shouted again: "The mountain cheers!"
Before everyone on the stage could react, Guishi and his people put their hands behind their backs and shouted together:
"Who said I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raises his army, I will sharpen my spears and halberds!"
...
"Who said I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you..."
Guishi had finished the military exercise and left, leaving only a pile of footprints, but the county's right lieutenant Du Xian still muttered this poem, and sighed: "This song of no clothes, shouted in Chu dialect, does have a different flavor from Guanzhong Longshang."
Although as early as the Shang Yang Reform period, "burning poetry and books to clarify laws and regulations", the impact of this book burning was not great. After King Huiwen of Qin, many Qin nobles kept poetry and books in their homes, but the government did not encourage it.
Moreover, although the Qin State banned poetry and books, the only exception was "Qin Feng", because it was originally a Qin folk song during the Spring and Autumn Period, especially the song "Wu Yi", which was sung for hundreds of years in Yongzhou. Because of its majestic melody, it became the military song of the Qin State. As for "The old Qin, brave and brave, go to the national crisis together", it was just a superfluous addition by later generations, adding a little bit of melodrama to the already vigorous and cheerful Qin Feng, which actually did not exist at all.
As a result, the right lieutenant Du Xian had a better impression of Guishi. Not only were they in a neat formation, they also reached the standard of county soldiers... No, they were far better than county soldiers. I'm afraid that only the Nanjun county soldiers stationed in Jiangling City could compare with them.
As a result, the right lieutenant Du Xian became more and more curious about Heifu, the squad leader of Guishi, and immediately asked General Chen Bai to call him over.
"Gongshi Heifu, I pay my respects to the county lieutenant." Heifu walked over, stood under the earthen platform, and bowed respectfully to the county's right lieutenant and left lieutenant.
The left lieutenant Yun Man looked unhappy, while the right lieutenant Du Xian smiled and praised: "Good warrior, come on stage and speak!"
When Hei Fu stood in front of them, Du Xian asked with a smile how old he was, where he was from, and how he trained Gui Shi to be so good...
Hei Fu brought up his cheap father as usual, saying that he was taught by him, but when the right lieutenant asked how he, a countryman in Nanjun, knew about "Wu Yi", Hei Fu pushed the blame to Chen Baijiang.
"This was taught by Chen Baijiang. Gui Shi's performance today is not the work of the villain, but Chen Baijiang's good guidance!"
"Is that so?" The right lieutenant Du Xian looked at Chen Baijiang.
Chen Baijiang was stunned at first, but then realized that Hei Fu was taking credit for him!
In theory, if the training of the guards can satisfy the county lieutenant, as the chief officer of the training, Chen Baijiang can be "granted 30 days", that is, rewarded for 30 days of hard work. This is the merit list of each official in the Qin State. When the hard work accumulates to a certain level, there is a chance to be promoted. Although the performance of the first few guards today was not satisfactory, Guishi completely turned the situation around after one round. Seeing that the right lieutenant praised today's competition, he took the credit. Why not do it?
So Chen Baijiang carefully acknowledged the matter: "I dare to tell the county lieutenant that Hei Fu often asks me for advice when he encounters something he doesn't understand. This song "No Clothes"... was taught to him by the lower official!" After saying that, Chen Baijiang also glanced at Hei Fu and nodded slightly at him. This kid is not bad, and he knows how to share the credit with the upper official.
"Good, very good!"
Right Lieutenant Du Xian no longer had any doubts, and patted his thigh and said: "You two or three have seen the military exercises in the past ten days. I don't need to say who is better or worse..."
He stopped talking, turned his eyes to the left lieutenant Yun Man, and smiled: "What do you think, left lieutenant?"
"The right lieutenant will decide." Yun Man smiled on his face, but cursed in his heart.
"I never thought that today, Hei Fu, a country boy, would be famous!"
But the left lieutenant was a cautious person. Although he hated Hei Fu because of the case of his nephew Huyang Pavilion Chief, he also knew that since the county's military chief, the right lieutenant, had made the decision, it would not be worth it for him to contradict the right lieutenant in public for this matter...
"Hahaha, since the left lieutenant has no doubts, then in today's competition, Gui Shi will be the first..."
"Wait a minute, right lieutenant!"
However, someone didn't know how to read the expression of others, and rashly stood up and interrupted the right lieutenant.
Right Lieutenant Du Xian's face suddenly froze, and he glanced around and saw that the person who spoke was General Bin Bai!
General Bin Bai was unwilling to fulfill his promise and become a laughing stock of the whole county. He had been staring at him, hoping that Gui Shi would make a mistake, but unfortunately Hei Fu did not give him a chance. Until this moment, General Bin Bai finally found a problem!
He did not notice the angry look of the right lieutenant, the look of the left lieutenant, and the smile between Hei Fu and General Chen Bai. He stood up rashly, pointed at Gui Shi, and said excitedly:
"The order of the troops has always been that the old are in front and the young are in the back. Gongshi Hei Fu, you dare to change them at will, you are really bold!"
