Chapter 24: The Revolutionary Army Also Dares to Recruit Strong Men?

  "Where the hell are you going, grandma? One more step and I'll kick this kid to death!" Chen Gong wiped away the sweat on his cheek and said viciously.

  Panting heavily, He Zhenghan adjusted his glasses and started scolding with gritted teeth: "Run, Xiao Yi? Why aren't you running anymore? You damn thing, for over two months now, you've been getting me called in for lectures every other day, making me lose face... I'll kick you to death..."

  "Shòu Shān brother, bring out the rope and tie up this little mudfish quickly." Huang Jie still pressed down on An Yi, who was struggling desperately, and looked up at Hu Zongnan.

  Song Xi saw that all the passersby were watching in horror from a distance, and he hastily warned a few words, supporting An Yi who was covered in dust: "Xiao Yi, what's the point of this? Last week Chen Gong saw you face to face in the park, you turned around and ran away, relying on your familiarity with the terrain, and you fooled more than 30 brothers under his command, causing him to lose his appetite for two days after returning. If you still have any anger in your heart, hit me now, big brother owes you."

  "What's going on? What are you doing..."

  Lao Dao and Er Shu rushed out of the courtyard, anxiously shouting. The agile Er Mao squeezed through everyone's legs to hug An Yi's dirty thighs, glaring at this group of Huangpu people with hatred. At such a young age, having this kind of courage is astonishing.

  "Uncle and Auntie, please don't misunderstand. We are all from the Whampoa Military Academy, we are all good brothers of Xiao Yi's. In June, during the war against the rebels, Xiao Yi made great contributions, our school and the Whampoa Military Academy are very grateful to him. However, he has been avoiding us and refusing to meet with us. Our principal, directors, advisors, and instructors have been thinking about him every day, and the political department has decided to award him a commendation. But he keeps avoiding us, so we had no choice but to resort to this method. Uncle and Auntie, we were ordered to come here today, and one way or another, we must take Xiao Yi back to our Whampoa Military Academy. The school wants to give him an open award ceremony. You can rest assured that we will not let our own brother lose a single hair."

  Lao Dao is what kind of person? As soon as he saw these familiar faces, he knew that An Yi was not in trouble, so he gently patted Er Shu's arm to reassure her. He smiled slightly at Jiang Xianyun: "Don't worry, seeing you all I know this kid can't hide, haha!"

  "Lao Shu, why aren't you selling at your stall?" He Xuanhan asked.

  Lao Dao burst out laughing: "I've been bedridden for the past two months, if it wasn't for Xiao Yi inviting a German doctor, I'm afraid my chronic bronchitis would never have gotten better. Now that I've recovered, I'll be going back to work tomorrow... Come on in, everyone, let's go inside and have some hot tea. There are so many neighbors watching outside."

  Everyone looked around and saw that the neighbors who had understood what was going on were leaving with smiles on their faces. A few young people even gave Huang Pu Jun and An Yi a thumbs up.

  "Labour uncle, we have our orders and can't stay any longer. Next time, next time we'll come to visit you with Little Yi."

  The old man nodded with a smile: "Alright, let's go back. Be careful on the way, this rabbit is full of tricks, don't let him fool you, haha... Second Hair, why are you still hugging your uncle's leg? Let's go!"

  Er Mao let go of An Yi's thigh reluctantly, and An Yi patted his little face. He looked at Lao Dao with dissatisfaction: "Lao Dao, you're ruthless! I'll remember this today, you'd better be careful."

  Watching An Yi being surrounded by a group of big men and leaving with a scolding, Ershen asked worriedly: "Uncle, is Xiao Yi okay? Won't he be caught as a conscript?"

  The old man walked into the courtyard, and only after Aunt Er closed the door did he say solemnly: "To be honest with you, Xiao Yi's fate is unpredictable, his bones are extraordinary, and upon careful examination, he has a great fortune that can turn bad luck into good. Don't look at his smooth talk and careless words, his laughter and joy are just a facade, in reality, he has a heart like gold and a will like a rock, and he can adapt to any situation with ease, endure humiliation and hardship, and is skilled at reading people's minds. His methods are subtle and flawless, leaving no room for error. Whether he becomes a soldier or a merchant, his future prospects are boundless! This time, being surrounded by a group of young talents and leaving is exactly what I calculated earlier. He can't escape this path of becoming a soldier in this lifetime, even if he doesn't leave today, he will stumble upon it tomorrow. You can rest assured, maybe we'll all rely on him for the rest of our lives."

  The steamboat left the dock, An Yi took off his top, and slapped the dust on it. Hu Zongnan saw An Yi's upper body and said with envy: "Usually, he doesn't take off his clothes, and it's really hard to see that this kid is so sturdy. It seems that these few months, this kid has been hiding from us, secretly eating well and drinking spicy food, living a pretty good life!"

  "Heh heh... Don't look down on this kid with a body full of muscles, he'll soon be looking up to us, heh heh..."

  An Yi glared at him with a fierce gaze: "How despicable! You don't wish your own brother well, but instead hope he has a harder time. Tsk, tsk! I've always wondered why China's revolutions over the past few thousand years have been unsuccessful. Now I finally understand!"

  Everyone burst out laughing, and He Zhonghan loudly rebuked: "Sit down! Be honest with me, you are now our captive, you have no right to speak!"

  "Wow! As expected, one of the Three Chimes! Reaction speed and theoretical level are not covered."

  An Yi stood up abruptly, put on his clothes, and walked over to sit between He Zonghan and Jiang Xianyun. He wrapped his arm around He Zonghan's shoulder and asked with a sly smile: "Old He, I've got a question for you. Never mind that the guys treated me like a criminal and caught me today. And I'll let it slide that some despicable brat kicked me twice while they were at it. But from what you just said, it sounds like once I'm gone, I'm gone for good? If that's the case, aren't you guys just the same as those warlords you're always shouting to overthrow? I'm confused - does this revolutionary army dare to conscript strong men?"

  He Zhanchan's fist landed on An Yi's stomach, and the unprepared An Yi was beaten into a bow. He Zhanchan's mouth, however, was smiling as he said:

  "There are many means of revolution. The punch I just threw is also a kind of revolution, called violent revolution. Got it, kid? You're still too tender to argue with me."

  Everyone burst out laughing, An Yi had a bitter expression but couldn't speak, and was worried that his previous words might have hurt Old He's self-esteem. With a sudden thought, he looked up with a solemn face, puffed out his chest, and straightened his waist: "A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated! Since it was Big Brother who hit me, I couldn't disregard the three cardinal guides and five constant virtues to fight back, so I could only die to make my point clear!"

  An Wei finished speaking and strode towards the stern of the ship. Jiang Xianyun and several others were frightened and stood up, but Hu Zongnan blocked everyone: "Don't be in a hurry, let him jump!"

  "This isn't good, is it? This kid can do anything." Huang Jie asked worriedly.

  Hu Zongnan did not answer, but instead looked towards the stern of the ship and loudly laughed at An Yi's heroic appearance: "Jump, Xiao Yi, why aren't you jumping?"

  An Yi let out a long sigh, walked back with a gloomy face, and sat down in the empty seat beside Hu Zongnan. Suddenly, he pinched the soft flesh around Hu's waist tightly, causing Hu to yell loudly. An Yi said with a fierce expression: "I remembered, only you know I can swim, damn it, old Hu! I've been respectful to you all along, but at this critical moment, you actually sold me out, you're ruthless!"

  Everyone burst out laughing, infecting the whole boat. Chen Gong laughed so hard he doubled over, and it took him a long time to finally stop, one hand clutching his stomach and the other pointing at An Yi:

  "Grandma's, Xiao Yi, haha... what a performing genius! Haha... no more words, Wu Shan brother, Jun Shan brother, our Blood Flower Drama Society has a successor now! Haha..."

  "I've been expecting this, he can't escape, haha!"

  Jiang Xianyun smiled confidently, and He Zonghan also nodded frequently with a smile on his face, thinking that this little brother was getting more and more lovable.

  The steamboat slowed down and slowly approached the military academy dock. The people on the boat immediately put away their smiles and became serious. An Yi couldn't help but feel worried, not knowing what kind of outcome this trip would bring. Although he had made contributions and achieved great merit, he was still nervous about appearing in front of so many talented individuals, making his heart feel uneasy and apprehensive.

  After landing, Jiang Xianyun and others stood at attention, saluted the officer on duty of the Water and Land Patrol Team in unison, and reported the brief situation of this trip. A thirty-year-old officer on duty outside the guard post responded with a smile, showing great interest in An Yi. An Yi nodded slightly as a greeting, following the neatly lined up team to walk towards the simple but famous military school gate.

  "Xiao Yi, relax a bit, where's your usual confidence? Lift up your head and take big strides, don't lose face in front of your brothers!" Song Xiwen reminded An Yi in a low voice from behind.

  An Yi muttered in a low voice: "You guys are almost always here, of course you're relaxed. Can I be confident if it's my first time? At this moment, I feel like a stray dog who has left its own territory, and can only tuck its tail and slink away among the wolves."

  He Yi's comrade-in-arms, He Zhenhan, who was walking in front of him, found this amusing and burst out laughing with a "Pffft!" sound. The brothers, who had been enduring hardships for a long time, all laughed too. However, the short Hu Zongnan happened to be leading the way at the front, and before he could even close his mouth, he was loudly reprimanded by a military school colonel standing by the gate. He had no choice but to swallow his pride, salute, and report loudly. After explaining himself, they were finally allowed in, and this small team, which included a civilian, puffed out their chests and marched into the gate in unison once again.

  A square yard, divided by several two-story buildings, appeared in front of An Yi. He looked around, but his feet didn't hesitate at all. Although his steps weren't very regular and powerful, they were consistent with everyone else's pace. When he saw Hu Zongnan lead the team towards the two-story quadrangle building in Lingnan style, he immediately understood that this was the school headquarters that the seniors had mentioned. As he walked through another gate, An Yi felt even more tense. He knew he had already entered the core of the military academy, where dozens of departments were located, from the principal's office and political department to the medical department and even a cafeteria, all in this three-road four-entrance yard.

  The team stopped in front of the stairs on one side of the Walking Horse Building, and Hu Zongnan saluted a fully armed middle-aged military officer loudly reporting. The officer, who was not smiling, returned the salute and slightly turned to the side. Hu Zongnan saluted again and led the team up the stairs. As they walked past the corner of the stairs, An Wei let out a loud breath, looked up, and saw that Zeng Kuochang was already standing above, smiling and winking at An Wei who had not seen him for a long time.

  An Yidun felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that Lao Zeng had become Chiang's personal secretary. Now he appeared here, it was clear that these old brothers were taking him to see Old Chiang!
