Chapter 2: True Bandit?!

  The host listened to Meng Da's words and quickly continued his work. He cleared his throat and shouted, "Next is..."

  "Wait!"

  A voice interrupted the host's words, and everyone looked over to see a big fellow. This person was tall and large in build, but looked quite good, with a straight nose, square mouth, bright eyes, wearing a coarse linen jacket with two German Mauser original twenty-shot revolvers holstered at his waist.

  Everyone in the village was stunned. Tan Tian and others were also closely watching the changes in the village.

  "What's up, Brother Liang?" the host asked, still recognizing this big fellow.

  "This girl is not bad-looking, I like her. I have a proposal. Since Brother Meng gathered us here to form an alliance and resist the National Army's siege, it means that no one knows who will be the leader yet. So this girl may not necessarily be yours, Brother Meng. Why don't we do it this way? Whoever among you present today can defeat me, Liang Meng, in a shooting or martial arts competition, will get to be the leader and have this girl?" Liang Meng said, looking around at everyone with a face full of disdain.

  "Hey, Liang Meng, you're just a mere gunman, don't tell me you also want to run for the position of Alliance Leader?" Cai Tou said with disdain, tossing two revolvers onto the table and looking up at him. The implication was that he looked down on Liang Meng, who was merely a gunman (a skilled shooter and martial artist, typically referred to as a "gunman"), whereas he himself was a San Dang Jia (Third Master), with five gunmen under his command, and dozens of professional armed personnel known as "gunmen" and "cannon hands".

  Tan Tian and others are more and more feeling that this is not a movie shoot, it's real. To be able to film so realistically, the director and actors are too amazing. Because for such a long time, I haven't seen a single crew member, this is really refreshing.

  "You think you can be the leader of our alliance just by winning? You're not even a worthy opponent! Anyone here is stronger than you, so get out of here before you embarrass yourself. If it weren't for your family's reputation, I'd have buried you in a hole right here today!" said one of the mountain bandit leaders. What he said was true, don't be fooled by Liang's tough appearance, but the people who came here were not to be underestimated. Winning him would make him the leader, these bandits thought it was just nonsense.

  "Since Liang Meng brother brought it up, and everyone doesn't have any opinions, let's just do it this way!" Meng Da said with his eyelids still drooping. However, the brothers who were familiar with him all knew that the big boss was a bit out of sorts. Because the iron gall in his hand was rotating very quickly. It looked like he might throw it out at any moment, and this iron gall was one of the big boss's weapons - his iron gall could smash a cow to death. This was something the mountain stronghold brothers had seen with their own eyes.

  At this time, the girl finally came to her senses and didn't care about being shy anymore. She supported herself on a chair, stood up and angrily said: "You bandits, in broad daylight, you dare to rob a civilian girl, it's really despicable! You will definitely be punished!"

  The girl was very quiet when she was scolded by the bandits, but after she finished scolding, no one paid attention to her. Two rascals came from behind and pressed her back onto the chair, then continued to tie her up with ropes, and then stuffed her mouth with cloth. No matter how hard the girl struggled, no one paid attention to her again. This situation was too common for the bandits, but in the end, they still had to listen and obey, and the bandits had many ways to deal with such girls.

  "Alright! Since Master Meng has spoken, I'll go first." Liang Meng cupped his fist and then drew out a pair of guns, firing six shots at the target 100 paces away.

  The on-site listeners reported a score of all hitting the bullseye, with six shots in one hole.

  "Good marksmanship!"

  Applause thundered, and nearly a thousand people in the village were about 70% of them admired Liang Meng's marksmanship. Everyone knew that the effective range of the shotgun was 50 meters (with a gunstock range of 150 meters), and 100 steps was equivalent to 60 meters, which proved that Liang Meng's marksmanship was indeed exceptional. At this moment, Liang Meng had a proud expression on his face, with his mouth raised and his chest out, looking like the number one man in the world.

  Tan Tian and Gong Ziqi also saw that this guy's marksmanship was pretty good. It's not surprising to get such a score from shooting at wooden stakes.

  "You're actually trying to peddle this trivial skill!"

  A loud, ear-piercing shout suddenly fell silent in the mountain village. A middle-aged man with a calabaza hat and wearing a gray linen robe slowly walked out. His appearance was quite disappointing to the audience. As soon as he appeared, many people burst into laughter. He had a long, melon-shaped face, a pair of small triangular eyes, a collapsed nose bridge, a garlic-shaped nose head, and a mouth smaller than a woman's cherry lips. There were also three carefully trimmed whiskers, swaying with each step. In the deep autumn season, he was still holding a fan, occasionally shaking it back and forth.

  "Hu Ye, are you also trying to show off? " Liang Meng recognized this guy, but had no idea what he was capable of. He looked like a dog-headed military advisor, and even if he just stood there without moving, it would be hard for him to estimate his strength. But he had no idea what he meant."

  Master Hu is the military advisor of Fei Yun Fort, one of the eighteen forts in Jiushan. Normally, he doesn't need to take action himself, as everyone in Fei Yun Fort knows that Master Hu's marksmanship is extraordinary and far surpasses his strategic thinking. This is also why he was given a military position despite being literate.

  "Hey, old man, I'll compete with you in marksmanship today. You don't have anything to be proud of, kid. Watch closely." After finishing speaking, Old Hu threw his calabaza hat into the air with force and somehow pulled out two Browning guns from who-knows-where, firing six shots at the calabaza hat in mid-air with both hands. The calabaza hat flipped and flew in the air, never falling under the force of the bullets. When Old Hu put away his guns, the calabaza hat returned to his hand.

  Everyone let out a sigh of relief, because many people here can achieve this point, and it's really not that difficult. However, this hat is absolutely unwearable.

  After hearing everyone's reaction, Mr. Hu said in a soft and shrill voice: "What? You're not convinced, are you? A group of fools, Mr. Hu only has this hat, but can't bear to damage it." As he spoke, Mr. Hu put the calabaza hat back on, and only then did everyone see that the calabaza hat was intact, but there were six scorch marks on the edge of the hat, and the shooting skills were truly exceptional.

  Thunderous applause, and even Qin Tian and others couldn't help but secretly cheer. There are two geniuses. At this moment, the five people of Qin Tian have completely confirmed that this is not a movie shoot, it's all real. The five special soldiers are all elites in their troops.

  Tian Tian represented the motherland to participate in the National Special Forces Competition, and broke the records of shooting while driving and climbing alone in the competition with Britain's "Gurkhas", America's "Green Berets" and Israel's "Wild Child" special forces, and won the gold medal.

  Fu Yulong, fifth place in the military region's grand martial arts competition, excels in all aspects of military technology and is an excellent all-around special forces warrior.

  Gong Ziqi, proficient in Japanese, English and German, a ninth-degree black belt master of Taekwondo. Proficient in various firearms, he is the Xiaocai soldier in Qin Tian's team.

  Wang Xinting, with a keen reaction and strong adaptability, is best at communication and tracking. Proficient in various firearms, can read lips, and has achieved good results in hand-to-hand combat in a major competition between China and Russia.

  Zhang Jia wouldn't have been able to join the national shooting team if he didn't have a special mission. Their grasp and understanding of firearms are even more impressive, so they can naturally tell that this is a real gun battle, and both Liang Meng and Hu Ye have excellent skills, especially Hu Ye's shooting technique, which is rare even among special forces troops. This shows that these people are absolutely not actors.

  At this time, the girl also stopped crying and making a fuss, watching the excitement somewhere. Her emotions had calmed down a lot.

  Qin Tian saw that his teammates were all in position, and he was thinking about what to do next. If these people were really bandits, then the girl must be rescued. However, he felt that it would be better to confirm again. These people were speaking a language that Qin Tian couldn't understand. They were clearly not filming a movie, but their words sounded like lines from a script. Qin Tian's confusion was understandable - he had never seen bandits before, only in movies and TV dramas. Now these people were right in front of him, and the scene today was so big that it left Qin Tian unsure of what to do.

  At this time, the scene had changed. Liang Meng was indeed very fierce, and seeing that Master Hu's shooting skills were better than his own, he insisted on competing with him in martial arts. How could Master Hu's body be a match for Liang Meng? So the two men quarreled for a while.

  Fei Yun Village didn't just send Hu Ye himself, they sent a total of 120 people, among them five masters came, and none of the nine mountain eighteen village masters are useless, each has some extraordinary skills.

  "What's going on, Liang Pao Tou? You think you can just waltz in here and not be stingy? Our Master Hu is a respected teacher, while you're just a mere cannon head. How about this: I'll let the cannon heads from our Flying Cloud Fortress compete with you?" A man who looked like he wasn't a good person said with a smirk.

  "Ah yo! The second master of Fei Yun Fortress, I apologize, although I'm just a cannon fodder, but dealing with you is more than enough. Come on!" Liang Meng still had the air of being the number one under heaven. However, at this time, Qin Tian also felt that this person was going to be unlucky.

  Before Liang Meng's words had fallen, someone was already standing in front of him. Liang Meng lowered his head to take a look and saw that the person was not very tall. He himself was 1.85 meters tall, while the sturdy man in front of him was only around 1.6 meters. So he had to lower his head to see the other person. However, upon seeing the other person, his heart also tightened, this person's speed was really fast.

  "Aiyo! Feiyun Fort's number one master Da Pao Tou is making a move, Liang Meng is going to be defeated."

  "It's going to be a good show!"

  Liang Meng had heard of Zhan Fang's reputation, and in Fei Yun Fort, although he wasn't the head of the household, his status was not inferior to theirs. Among the twelve cannon heads of Fei Yun Fort, Zhan Fang was the chief cannon head. He also possessed a unique skill - his speed in drawing his gun was exceptionally fast.
