Chapter 180 Numbness

"Open! Four, five, six, I win! Hahaha!"

"Why are you winning again? You've almost won all my pocket money this month!"

"Luck is such a magical thing. Give it another try, maybe you will make your money back! One will make you poor, one will make you rich, and one will become a landlord!"

"Forget it, I won't come. I lose every time!"

"If you don't come, you won't have a chance to turn your fortune back."

"Then do it again!"

"Come on, come on, all bets have been placed!"

"I bet big!"

"Small!"

……

Xia Chixiao's face turned dark.

This is a military camp, and there are people gathering here to gamble?
He pushed open the door and walked in.

Four men were nestled in the corner of the stable, with their heads lowered. A wooden board and a dice cup were shaken loudly on the ground.

The people inside were so engrossed that they didn't notice him.

It's hard for them to play so devotedly in such a simple environment.

"Open! Three fives, leopard, kill them all! Hahaha!"

A cheer followed by three sighs of loss.

"So lucky? Count me in!" A voice suddenly appeared.

The four people who were excited about gambling all raised their heads.

Then, with ghostly expressions on their faces, they split up and ran away.

Xia Chixiao said coldly: "If you dare to escape, you will be stripped of your military status immediately and driven out of the military camp!"

The four of them were suddenly startled. They were still preparing to turn over the stable and escape, but they quickly retracted it at this time.Seeing the opportunity, he immediately knelt down and said, "Deputy Commander, we, we just started, we made two bets..."

The other two people also quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "General Xia, you don't care about the villain's fault, we don't dare to do it anymore!"

The last one slowly knelt down with some reluctance, but did not speak. He was the one who screamed the loudest just now and was killed.

Xia Chixiao glanced over. Among the four people, two were soldiers responsible for guarding the stables. They rarely participated in training, and their main responsibility was to take good care of the horses.

The horses in the army also have dedicated people to herd them. One side of the Lengtai camp is backed by a mountain. Once the horses are released on the mountain, each person is responsible for an area. This also gives the two people a chance to come back and hide here to gamble.

The other two simply avoided training and came here to hide.

Xia Chixiao glanced at the four of them coldly: "Get up, you are soldiers, not soft shrimps. You have done something wrong, and you have your own military laws. If your knees are so weak, what's the use of keeping them?"

As soon as he said these words, the leg of the last kneeling person suddenly seemed to be equipped with springs, and it bounced up instantly before he could kneel down.

The other three people also quickly got up.

"Since you know how to kneel to me, it means you still remember the military order!"

The four of them lowered their heads and said nothing.

"The place we're looking for is quite secretive, the stables. How dare you think about it! Should I, the general, praise you?"

The four of them dared not answer. They glanced at Xia Chixiao anxiously. They heard that the deputy commander was very strict in managing the army, but didn't he go to suppress the bandits?Didn’t you say you won’t be able to come back in a year and a half?Why did they come back now and catch them?

Xia Chixiao said calmly: "Who is the leader?"

The four of them looked at each other, and no one said a word.

"What, no one is in charge? Did you decide together to hide here and gather for gambling?"

The four of them lowered their heads and remained silent.

Xia Chixiao sneered coldly: "Refuse to admit it? Then we will be punished heavily together!"

Finally, the man suddenly raised his head, crossed his companions, and took two steps forward: "I, I am the leader!"

The other three people looked at him with complicated and moved expressions.

It was indeed Pei Shi'an who suggested it, but as soon as he suggested it, he and the others hit it off, so it was impossible to say who was the leader.Who would have thought that gambling in the stables would be okay every time. It smelled like horse manure and not many people wanted to come. It was quiet and private. It was a foolproof place. Plus, there had been no problems so many times before, so they got carried away. Who would have expected that he would be caught by the deputy commander?

Xia Chixiao narrowed his eyes, looked at his fearless look, and sneered: "Pei Shian, you have won a lot!"

Pei Shi'an lowered his eyes, covering up the unruly look in his eyes, and said with a slight frown on his neck: "It's a small amount of money to make a living!"

"Did the military camp run out of food for you?"

Pei Shian pursed his lips and said nothing. There was food in the military camp, but there was no wine. He won money, and on the day of rest, he could go out to drink, eat meat, and have fun.

Xia Chixiao looked at him.

This face looked exactly like my father, but it was only smooth and smooth. It didn't have the toughness of my father at all, nor his wisdom, meticulousness, and righteousness.

His gaze gradually deepened, like a mountain, weighing heavily on Pei Shi'an.

At first, Pei Shi'an didn't care and was still carefree. However, after a while, he felt that he couldn't hold it any longer.

When he felt that Xia Chixiao's gaze was mainly aimed at him, he felt dissatisfied and confused. He raised his eyes and looked over, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.

However, he still overestimated himself and underestimated the lethality of Xia Chixiao's gaze.

So sharp and sharp, so cold and cold.

His provocation slowly dissipated and he averted his eyes again.

The whole atmosphere became very dull and depressing.

The three of them almost couldn't help but kneel on the ground again and beg for mercy.

Xia Chixiao said calmly: "You three, go and get twenty military sticks each. Next time, you will be kicked out of the military camp!"

The three of them were granted amnesty, but they did not dare to plead for mercy. After all, twenty military sticks were extremely rare. Even if Xia Chixiao casually said fifty military sticks, it would still be within the scope of military regulations.It is said in the military regulations that gathering a crowd to gamble will be punished with twenty to fifty military sticks. Those who cause serious consequences will be punished by death!

Before leaving, they glanced at Pei Shi'an secretly and apologetically.

Brother, it's not that we don't have loyalty, it's just that General Xia is so scary. Just one look from him made them feel cold in their bones.

The three of them rushed to lead the military sticks.

Xia Chixiao glanced at Pei Shi'an: "You, come with me!"

Pei Shi'an knew what twenty army sticks meant. He had seen someone execute someone.

Those who violated military regulations in the army were executed in public, firstly as a punishment to avoid future mistakes, and secondly as a deterrent to others not to make mistakes.The dull sound of the sticks hitting the flesh, the powerful force of the sticks hitting the blood, fell into the eyes, and it was full of shock.If the leader of them all receives twenty military sticks, does he, the leader, receive thirty?
Why did Xia Chixiao call him over?Does he want to carry out the execution himself?

Pei Shian followed Xia Chixiao uneasily. This time he was really downcast.

I was still not careful enough. To win such a small amount of money, I had to fight so many military sticks. It was really not worth it.It looks like I will have to be more careful in the future.

Actually, you don’t blame him for being careless, right?Who among the other officers would come to the stable?Especially at this time, Xia Chixiao is not a normal person.Also, this Xia Chixiao can defeat him, right?
He was very good at being a dandy, but when Xia Chixiao returned to Beijing, he couldn't be a dandy anymore;

He was very good at being a beggar, but when he met Xia Chixiao, he couldn't be a beggar anymore;

Although the drills were a bit hard and tiring when he entered the military camp, those old soldiers taught him a lot of experience. He had already learned how to sneak around and just completed the minimum standard of the drills. He was not willing to exert any more force.

What's more, Xia Chixiao left again. With what he learned, he became prosperous in the military camp and had so much fun. But when Xia Chixiao came back, his fun was gone.

Now, what else does Xia Chixiao want to do?

Xia Chixiao took him directly to the school grounds.

At this time, the three people who had received military sticks and the execution sergeant followed the old rules and went to the school grounds to execute them.

There were three long benches and two executioners holding arm-thick sticks. They announced to the entire army expressionlessly: "Zhu Youxing, Cai Qi, Zhong Dachui and others gathered in the stable to gamble. They were captured by the deputy commander, General Xia, and came to collect them." Twenty military sticks are used to maintain military discipline, but next time, I will be fired directly and driven out of the military camp!"

All the soldiers in the school field: "..."

Those who didn't see Xia Chixiao thought to themselves, did they hear correctly?Commander Xia is back?
Anyone who has seen Xia Chixiao thinks, is this Deputy Commander Xia a devil?Did you just come to the military camp today?I immediately caught the gambler. It was just those few people who were unlucky. They usually just hide under the quilt and play in the middle of the night. That was because there were people watching, and they couldn't light the lights, so they could only play a few games at night with good moonlight.

They hide and play in broad daylight. If not, who can catch them?

General Xia will not let go of the stables. He has strict military discipline. It seems that he will no longer be able to play under the quilt in the moonlight.

Xia Chixiao happened to arrive with Pei Shi'an, and he said calmly: "Delay the execution for now."

The executioner was startled. When they came to receive the sentence, they said that this was General Xia's order. Why did General Xia want to overturn his decision himself now?

Xia Chixiao said: "Put them aside and watch first."

He turned to Pei Shi'an: "There are four people participating in the gambling today, and he is the leader. In this case, he should be punished first!"

Zuo Ying glared at Pei Shian.

When Xia Chixiao asked him to recruit Pei Shi'an to his account, his face was disgraced when Pei Shi'an committed a crime.

Pei Shi'an curled his lips inwardly, thinking that he would not be punished, so he knew why he was so kind. He wanted to announce in public that he would be hit thirty times, and be the first to hit him, right?
But Xia Chixiao didn't give such instructions. He looked at Pei Shi'an and said in a calm voice, "I brought you to the military camp. It's been more than six months now. Let me test how well you've learned!"

Pei Shian made a question mark face: "...?"

test?How to check?
Xia Chixiao walked to an empty space and said to Pei Shi'an: "You gather people to gamble. According to military regulations, you should hit thirty to fifty military sticks. However, I will give you a chance. If you challenge me, as long as you can hit me, you will Can be exempted from the military stick!"

Pei Shi'an's starry eyes are such a good thing?

Who wants to lead the military stick?The beating made a dull sound and the flesh and blood were bloody.

He pressed his words firmly: "As long as I hit you once, can I avoid the military stick?"

Xia Chixiao's voice did not fluctuate and revealed absolute authority: "Yes!"

Everyone had different expressions, Zhu Youxing, Cai Qi, and Zhong Dachui looked at him with envy.

It turned out that he was brought in by General Xia. Many people in the army actually knew this. However, two of these three people were horse breeders, and the other one happened to not be on the school grounds at the time. Moreover, Pei Shian did not seem to receive any preferential treatment afterwards. , many people have forgotten this.

The three of them looked at each other. General Xia now said that as long as he hit him, he would be free of the military stick. Isn't this obvious?He wanted to let Pei Shian go in public.

No wonder Pei Shi'an has always been careless and unruly in the military camp, sneaking around and trying hard to exploit loopholes in military regulations; no wonder he would directly stand up and recognize him as the leader.At that time, they were also moved by Pei Shi'an's loyalty and good brother. It turned out that he had General Xia as his backer.

So it was just the three of them who were beaten?

Pei Shi'an thought that it was impossible to defeat Xia Chixiao, but he still had the confidence to hit him once.

He can do it ten times without saying anything.

That time in the alley, he punched Xia Chixiao several times. Now he has been training for more than six months. Although he is lazy a lot, he has completed all the basic training tasks. Now, he has developed muscles. .

That's even simpler.

He looked like he was standing in the middle of the field, tall and tall. Although he was tall and straight, he looked a little frail in front of Zuo Ying, who was so strong and burly.

Zuo Ying glared at him again.

This brat is really careless. I hope he can perform better when he fights later. General Xia may not punish him because he has trained well.

But he also felt that he was overthinking it. This kid had the worst performance during training, and he failed in every aspect.If you say he doesn't work hard, he has passed the exam. If you say he works hard, he can obviously do better.

Forget it, forget it, this guy recruited it himself.

Next, everyone was silent.

Pei Shian is numb!

He rushed over and was kicked away.

He made a move and was kicked away.

He ran and was kicked away.

He took a detour and was kicked away.

He feinted and was kicked away...

The entire school grounds were dazzled.

Pei Shian was either being kicked away, or on the way to being kicked away.

His body not only flew up on the lawn of the school field, but also fell down, making a dull thumping sound and kicking up waves of dust.The originally clean military uniform was stained with dirt and sweat.

The school was silent.

They all saw Pei Shian's attack just now.

They also thought about whether it would be successful if they were to attack like that.

Pei Shi'an used almost every method they could think of, and even some methods were tricky and weird.They were thinking about how they would attack to hit Xia Chixiao and how to defend themselves so as not to be hit by Pei Shian.

So, if they were replaced by themselves, wouldn't they be like Pei Shi'an, unable to get a piece of General Xia's coat?

But they had no guarantee that if it were them, they would not be hit by Pei Shian.

Pei Shi'an already had a bruised nose and swollen face, and his whole body was in disgrace.

The envious eyes of Zhu Youxing, Cai Qi, and Zhong Dachui changed. They slowly turned into surprise, then sympathy, then fear, and then happiness...

Fortunately, they didn't risk their lives by trying to get rid of the military sticks in this way. Look, how many kicks did Pei Shi'an get?

Every kick was solid, and regardless of whether it hurt or not, it flew up and fell again, causing dust to fly. It was obvious at first glance that the fall was not light.

Where is the water to be released?
This is beating someone to death, so Pei Shian is actually General Xia's enemy, right?
