Rebirth of a Star General

In seven days, it was enough for He Yan's leg injury to heal. Although the injury on his hand was not yet fully healed, as long as he didn't use the bow and crossbow to practice spears or something, it wouldn't prevent him from doing things on weekdays.

In these seven days of waiting, the day of fighting for the flag finally came.

Liang Ping came to see He Yan on the first night of the flag fight and asked how He Yan was. He Yan was afraid that he would not let himself participate in the flag fight, so he hurriedly said: "Very good, very good, very good. I have two strokes?"

Liang Ping couldn't hold his face when he thought of the previous incident with He Yan, and he coughed lightly: "No need, you can just go up the mountain with you tomorrow."

After he left, He Yan almost didn't cheer.

Hong Shan said with a smile: "Now you can get what you wanted."

"I don't know what it is like to fight for the flag," Mai Mai pleaded as he looked at He Yan, "After Brother Ahe goes down the mountain, he should tell us word by word."

"Didn't your brother also go up the mountain? Why only ask Ah He?" Hong Shan said.

"My brother won't say it." Mai pouted.

There are tens of thousands of recruits in Liangzhou Guard, so of course not everyone can go up the mountain to compete for the flag. Moreover, they are selected for the forward battalion, and only those who perform particularly well in the performance field on weekdays are selected. Wheat and Hongshan can only be regarded as mediocre in qualifications, and they are not competing for the flag. In their room, only Shi Shi and He Yan were selected to go up the mountain.

"The injury on your hand isn't fully healed yet." Hong Shan worried for He Yan, "Don't fight hard at that time. If you can't beat it, run away, you know? All Liangzhou guards know that you are strong, and they don't care about winning or losing. ."

"Brother Ahe would suffer too much in this way," said Mai.

"It's okay." He Yan said with relief: "Even if I get injured, it will definitely be me first."

Everyone else in the room laughed.

"It's here again! Our He Da Leizhu is going to set up a ring on the mountain again. Does anyone want to bet on dry cakes?"

"Gamble your ass, you haven't paid back what you lost last time!"

In the midst of all the noise, He Yan's heart relaxed a little. In fact, she may not have "fight for the flag" for a long time, and the memory of the last time to fight for the flag is not very good, and she is not the one with the most outstanding performance. No one knows what the result will be this time.

It's just that compared to the results of the flag contention, the most important thing is the performance in the process of flag contention. If you want to enter the Nine Banners Camp, you don't just look at the results this time. If you want to come to the top of Baiyue Mountain, all the coaches are hidden in the dark, and you can see the performance of each of them. The person who performed the most might have the opportunity to enter the Nine Banners Battalion.

Therefore, it is not so much a competition as it is a play, and there is only one person in the audience from beginning to end, that is the second son of Xiao. She had to work hard and take every step beautifully and thoughtfully in order to win Xiao Jue's favor.

She should be able to.

...

Outside the guardhouse, Shen Han handed over to Xiao Jue: "Captain, everything is ready."

Lu Er stepped on the side twice, Xiao Jue stroked its head and said, "Let's go."

Shen Han nodded, and suddenly remembered something: "Young Master Cheng..."

"I have sent someone to protect him in the dark, don't worry." He looked in the direction of Baiyue Mountain, "It's almost time, let them set off immediately."

Shen Han replied, "Yes."

...

He Yan came to the martial arts field, but did not see Liang Ping, but saw Du Mao. Du Mao held a booklet in his hand and named the names of He Yan and Shi Shi. The two stepped forward and found Jiang Jiao, Huang Xiong, and Wang Ba. also stand aside.

"Five people fighting for the flag are in a group, you are in the same group." Du Mao said: "After a stick of incense, you will start from here on foot and go up to Baiyue Mountain. You must not cross the mountain. There are red flags planted all over the mountain. Before sunset, you must return here. ." After a pause, he added: "There are 30 groups of recruits going up the mountain in this competition for the flag. The number of red flags in their hands after returning here is counted, and the group with the most flags is the winner."

"There are weapons on the weapon rack, so hurry up and pick one that is handy. Bows and crossbows are not available. When fighting for the flag on Baiyue Mountain, don't hurt your fellow robes. It will stop when you click. Don't hurt your life, and don't worry about your fellow robes' friendship. "

Several people nodded together.

Jiang Jiao chose the long spear he was good at, and Huang Xiong brought his golden-backed sword. Although Wang Ba was good at bow and crossbow, he could not use bow and crossbow in this battle, so he chose a crested axe. Shi Shi took an iron-headed stick, and everyone looked at He Yan, thinking that He Yan was going to take the mandarin duck knife, but she took a nine-section whip on the shelf.

"You..." Stone hesitated. They all knew that He Yan was good at swordsmanship, bow and crossbow, and spear, but they didn't know how she used the whip. In the end, the whip is not as powerful as the sword.

"You'll know when you're on the mountain." He Yan smiled, "Let's go."

Several people took their weapons and rushed towards Baiyue Mountain.

Du Mao laughed loudly behind them: "I'm here waiting for your good news, go, sons!"

The birds in the forest were so startled that they flew around, and people disappeared in the blink of an eye. Ma Damei and Liang Ping came from a distance, each led their horses, and said to Liang Ping, "It's almost time, let's go too."

...

Thirty groups of people and more than a hundred recruits are in the Baiyue Mountain, like a fish in the sea, and they can't see anything. As soon as he stepped into the woods, Wang Ba suddenly said, "Wait!"

Several people stopped and looked at him: "What?"

"Some people have advanced to the mountain before us. What if they are ambushed in the forest at this moment and we step on the trap?"

"Don't worry," He Yan said with a smile, "the fight for the flag has just begun, everyone is busy grabbing the flag, we don't have a flag in our hands right now, what's the use of ambush us. I guess everyone is walking towards... Shannan Baishi ."

"Why is it Shannan Baishi?" Jiang Jiao asked.

"Stone, show them the map." He Yan looked at the stone.

Stone took out a roll of paper from his arms and slowly unfolded it, but seeing several red dots drawn on the paper, all of them only had a general orientation. Each group of flag fighters will have a map. The map has the location of the flag, but only the approximate direction. The map is very scribbled, not even the trees and rivers marked, only four directions.

"Look, there are twenty flags in total." He Yan pointed to the red dot at the bottom, "The side closest to the foot of the mountain should be the part of the mountainside. When recruits enter the mountain, they will naturally search for the closest flag first. In the bag. There is a small stream next to Baishi in the south of the mountain, and the surrounding area is open and not covered by trees. This flag should be the best to find. Therefore, most of the brothers who are more advanced than us in the mountain must look for this flag. "

"How do you know it's Shannan Baishi?" Huang Xiong was suspicious, "There is only one dot on it."

"I'm just guessing, but don't worry. When I was patrolling the mountain before, I remembered the road, so even if there is a deviation, I can find it by looking for it."

"Didn't you get chased by wolves when you patrolled the mountain before?" Wang Ba couldn't help but ask, "Do you still remember the way?"

"Well, when I was chased by the wolf, I also watched the bot lane, and I remembered it again when I came back. It's very familiar." He Yan looked at him with a smile, "You have to trust your boss, there is absolutely no problem."

Hearing this, Wang Ba turned his head in anger and didn't look at He Yan anymore.

He Yan laughed. On the battlefield, it is necessary to remember the terrain and various roads. She once stayed in the forward camp. The most important thing is to find out the enemy's situation and the surrounding environment at the beginning, so as to judge the layout.

"Then what are we waiting for now? Go directly to the Baishi side in Shannan to grab the flag!" Huang Xiong carried the big knife on his back, "How do we go?"

He Yan: "..." This is someone who doesn't know the way.

"We don't go in this direction." He Yan said.

"Why?" Huang Xiong frowned.

"There must be a lot of people grabbing the same flag at the moment. If you want to grab it, there are too many opponents, and it's not worth it." He Yan shook his head, "Don't join in the fun. Let's go in this direction." She Point to the opposite direction on the map and just now, there is also a red dot.

"There is a dense forest here, the road is very steep, and it is easy to get lost. I thought about it, unless it is someone who remembers the road very clearly, it is difficult to find this flag. So it should not be easily taken away, let's go directly, first Take this flag."

"There are only twenty flags in total. I think we can win as long as we get more than half of them. So from the beginning, we will find these hidden flags that no one pays attention to, so as to save some energy. After all, it's all about fighting for flags. It's not necessarily the strength of the hands, but here." She pointed to her head.

Is this a trick to brag about being smart? Several people were speechless. Huang Xiong asked, "Do you really remember the way?"

"It's absolutely true." He Yan blinked and said, "I don't forget it when I'm on the road."

The young man was wearing a strong red suit. Although he was thin and weak, his eyes were extraordinarily cunning and agile. The sunlight shining through the gap in the woods shone on him, making him appear to be glowing.

"Okay, okay, then let's go." Wang Ba was the first to speak, "Hurry up, and if it's later, it will be robbed by others, fight for a bird!"

Shitou and He Yan belonged to the same group, so naturally they wouldn't say anything. Jiang Jiao was young, and he admired He Yan for being a gun before, so he had no objection. Several people agreed that the oldest Huang Xiong didn't say anything. The most important thing was that he was completely blind. If there was no one to lead the way, he would be able to spend three days and three nights in it.

So these five people, unexpectedly, headed by He Yan.

The five of them walked up the mountain together. Because there was no horseback riding and the mountain road was rough, everyone was worried that He Yan would not be able to keep up with her at first, but after seeing her light body and relaxed expression along the way, they gradually felt relieved. Knowing He Yan's physical strength, it should be no problem to climb to the top of the mountain.

And He Yan really did as she said, as if he had walked the road of Baiyue Mountain countless times, and kept all kinds of trails in his heart. She avoided every avenue that might collide with other groups, and only took a small path. The road was harder to walk, but the distance was much closer. Moreover, every bush that seemed to have no way was cut open by her and walked away. Another way.

"You guys, you have to think a few more steps about everything," He Yan sighed, "Does the road have to be straight? Can't it be curved? Do people have to walk on the ground? Can't learn to climb a wall like a gecko? The rule is that the dead are the living, with snacks, many things are not that complicated at all.”

Everyone: "..."

Huang Xiong muttered: "I am forty-six this year."

He Yan responded while walking, "En."

"You're only sixteen this year."

In other words, why should a sixteen-year-old stinky boy teach his elders? The elders have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice!

He Yan said, "But you still don't know the way."

Huang Xiong can't answer these words, who is this person, completely invulnerable to oil and salt.

As they talked, they turned over a mound and saw a small flag hidden in the bushes, standing alone on the ground.

"I found it!" Jiang Jiao's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to hold the flag in his palm, "Really!"

"It's really been found." Wang Ba muttered, and when he saw the boy leaning against a tree, he said leisurely, "I said it earlier, and I don't forget it when I passed by."

Seeing this, the supervisor hiding in the distance of the bushes took two steps out and whispered, "What's the matter? How did you find it so quickly?"

It stands to reason that the flag here is hidden deep, and the road is not easy to walk. At the moment, most people should go to fight for the flag of Baishi in the south of the mountain. But at this hour, the group of them came straight from the beginning, and they hadn't encountered any obstacles on the way. Did they... know in advance where the flag would be placed?

"Don't worry about it, reply quickly." The supervisor quickly wrote a few words on the note and sealed it in the copper tube on the pigeon's leg.

...

In the room of the guard house, black and white pieces are scattered on the chessboard, and someone is playing a game.

A pigeon flew to the young man's shoulder and cooed twice. The latter took the copper pipe off its leg and took out the note to read it.

Shen Han looked suspiciously.

Xiao Jue handed him the note, Shen Han took it and looked at it, and after a while, he said in shock, "How could you find it so quickly?"

"As expected." Xiao Jue smiled, his eyes became clearer, and he said, "Based on the time at this moment, he went straight to this place early in the morning."

There are twenty flags on Baiyue Mountain, and the nearest one is next to Baishi in the south of the mountain. Although someone has discovered it early in the morning, because there are too many people who come to snatch this flag, there is no winner yet. Instead, the flag in He Yan's hand became the first flag to be found, because no one came to snatch it.

"He remembers the way?" Shen Han was suspicious. Even if there is a mountain patrol at the beginning, it is impossible for a person to remember the road so well, and the recruits do not know the meaning of the mountain patrol at the beginning, so they will not deliberately remember the road. It's amazing to be able to remember roughly half of it.

"Not necessarily, maybe," Xiao Jue said, "he just knew about today's battle for the flag in advance."

Knowing in advance, He Yan will deliberately write down when patrolling the mountain, or think deeply, the specific map of Baiyue Mountain, He Yan got it from the beginning. So when you see the flag, you will know the exact location.

Shen Han frowned, "So, he does have doubts. What should I do next?"

"Continue," the young man smiled lightly, and played the chess game unhurriedly, "It's not over yet, the outcome is unknown, and the outcome will only be known at the end, no hurry."

...

After He Yan found this flag, he continued to walk up the mountain with the other four. Her path seems to be closer to other people's paths. Occasionally, she will collide with recruits from other groups. Before the other party finds out, He Yan let everyone lie down in the grass or behind the bushes. meet them face to face.

Wang Ba was a little dissatisfied. He was used to being the leader of mountain bandits. When he was so timid, he only said: "We are not afraid of them, why are we hiding? I don't think you should hide, just go up and grab it!"

"It's still early." He Yan explained patiently to him, "The other recruits we meet may not have flags, but we do. Once there is a conflict, if we win, we may not have spoils, but if we lose, we even lose our flags. Isn't it worth it?"

Seeing that Wang Ba was still reluctant, she unfolded the map in her hand and showed it to Wang Ba: "I have seen it, as just now, there are three flags hidden in the depths of the jungle. We have already got one, and the other two are left. You should be able to find it smoothly if you walk along this road, and the last side is close to the top of the mountain."

"Let's get these three sides first, and after we get these three sides, we will reach the top of the mountain." She said, "When we reach the top of the mountain, we will discuss the future in the long run."

This remark barely persuaded Wang Ba, he said: "This is what you said, there are two sides, if not," he waved his fist, "I want you to look good!"

He Yansi was not afraid, and smiled and took his fist away: "Little brother can't be so rude to the boss." She looked into the distance: "Let's go."

The sun is getting bigger.

Although the depths of the jungle were not as hot as those at the foot of the mountain, everyone was sweating profusely due to the rugged mountain road. There are many birds, beasts, insects and ants on the mountain, and there are several snakes on the road. Surprisingly, He Yan dealt with these unexpected situations with ease. Compared with Wang Ba, she was like the master of a mountain. If everyone knew that He Yan was a recruit from Shuojing, I was afraid that others would misunderstand her. A native hunter on Baiyue Mountain.

She didn't lie either. Although the road was a bit bumpy, she actually found the other two flags unimpeded. The last flag was taken by Jiang Jiao, Huang Xiong looked at the front, and said somewhat uncertainly: "The front is the top of the mountain."

He Yan nodded: "That's right." She looked down the mountain, "We took a short cut, and we didn't encounter any other group faster than us. We should be the first to reach the top of the mountain. one."

Other recruits were busy fighting for the flag. They avoided others along the way and only went to the flag, which was very convenient and also saved a lot of time.

Wang Ba sat down under the tree, unscrewed the kettle around his waist, raised his head and took a sip of water, saying, "I did nothing but kill two snakes along the way. I took two axes for nothing. I said we are here. Looking for something, not to grab something?"

Just avoiding others to find things, sneaking around, quite aggrieved. Although Huang Xiong and Jiang Jiao didn't say anything, they agreed with what Wang Ba said.

Stone opened his mouth and said, "You just need to win, you don't have to be restricted by the method."

"Brother Stone is still smart," He Yan smiled and said, "If you want to compete, why not go directly to the martial arts field to challenge. It is not personal skills that are tested by competing for the flag."

She clapped her hands, looked at everyone and smiled again, "However, I never said we would always hide here." He Yan said, "Get ready."

"What are you going to prepare?" Jiang Jiao was puzzled.

He Yan smiled slightly: "Robbery."
