Chapter 110 County Seat
Chapter 110 County Seat
Xu Huaian and Zhou Yang stood in the middle of the team. The soldiers quickly formed a circle around them, staring at them closely.
Xu Huaian stood straight, moved his wrist, and his eyes showed determination and confidence.
Zhou Yang stood opposite Xu Huaian, his heart in a mess as he got into a fighting stance.
He and Xu Huaian had fought each other before, but he had never won.
Now Xu Huaian took the initiative to ask him to practice, probably because of what happened yesterday.
He wanted to vent his anger on his wife.
Zhou Yang thought that he had to regain some face in front of the soldiers this time. Even if he lost, he couldn't lose too badly. But deep down, he was deeply afraid of Xu Huaian's strength.
Zhou Yang looked at Xu Huaian and felt a little uneasy, but he still gritted his teeth and took a fighting stance.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Zhou Yang took the lead in attacking. He rushed towards Xu Huaian and swung his right fist towards Xu Huaian's face.
Xu Huaian was not in a hurry. He slightly shifted his feet and moved his body to the left, easily dodging the punch.
At the same time, he stretched out his right hand, accurately grabbed Zhou Yang's wrist, and twisted it hard.
Zhou Yang only felt a sharp pain in his wrist. He wanted to break free but found that Xu Huaian was much stronger than before, as if he wanted to crush his wrist.
When did this guy become so much stronger?
Zhou Yang was sweating coldly from the pain. He knew Xu Huaian was teaching him a lesson, but he couldn't beg for mercy easily in front of so many soldiers.
So he endured the pain, raised his left leg and kicked Xu Huaian in the abdomen.
Xu Huaian's eyes flashed, and he reacted very quickly and kicked Zhou Yang's calf.
Zhou Yang was hit on the calf and staggered, but he gritted his teeth and did not fall down.
Xu Huaian did not press on to pursue the victory, but took a step back, giving Zhou Yang a chance to adjust.
"Deputy Captain Zhou, this is a fighting arena, not a place to vent your emotions."
Zhou Yang was holding back his anger and did not respond to Xu Huaian's words. He adjusted his posture and rushed forward again.
This time his movements became more cautious, and his punches and kicks became more methodical.
Xu Huaian remained calm and responded. He easily avoided Zhou Yang's attacks and counterattacked from time to time. Although he did not use his full strength, each attack made it difficult for Zhou Yang to defend.
The soldiers watching from the side were so excited that they said, "The commander's strength is truly unfathomable."
"The captain is even more powerful than before. Look, Deputy Captain Zhou is almost dying. If I were to go up there, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to withstand even a single blow from the captain."
Zhou Yang was already out of breath at this time. His attack did not pose any threat to Xu Huaian, but it consumed a lot of his physical strength.
Xu Huaian seized the opportunity, took a step forward, and threw several punches at an extremely fast speed.
Zhou Yang could only defend himself hastily, but was still hit by Xu Huaian in many places. He grimaced in pain, took a few steps back, and almost fell to the ground.
At this time, Xu Huaian stopped what he was doing, looked at Zhou Yang and said, "Let's stop here today, Deputy Captain Zhou. Are you okay?"
Zhou Yang held his waist and forced a smile in front of so many people, "Thank you, Captain, for showing mercy."

On the other side, Wang Jianguo drove Shi Qingqian to the county town.
"Comrade Wang, I'm going to the post office to mail a letter first, and then go shopping. If you have something to do, you can go back first," said Shi Qingqian.
Wang Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "How about this, sister-in-law? I'll pick you up here at four in the afternoon?"
Shi Qingqian nodded, "Okay, thank you for your help then."
She turned and walked towards the post office. After mailing the letter, she began to wander the streets of the county town.
He walked slowly along the street, not missing any corner where a black market might exist. However, after searching for a long time, everything around him looked normal and he didn't find anything unusual.
At this time, I saw an aunt sitting at the door of the house. She was basking in the sun leisurely, and her eyes occasionally glanced at passers-by.
Shi Qingqian's heart moved and she walked forward quickly.
"Hello, Auntie," Shi Qingqian greeted in a clear voice with a gentle smile on her face.
The aunt raised her head and looked at Shi Qingqian with some confusion, "Little comrade, who are you?"
Shi Qingqian took out a pound of White Rabbit candy from her bag, handed it to the aunt, and said, "Aunt, I have something I want to ask you. This is a small token of my appreciation."
When the aunt saw the candy, her eyes lit up, but she was still a little wary. "Little comrade, what are you doing? Just tell me what's going on."
Shi Qingqian looked around, then leaned close to the aunt and whispered, "Auntie, I'd like to know where the black market is here?"
When the aunt heard this, her expression changed instantly. She grabbed Shi Qingqian's hand and said nervously, "Comrade, why are you asking about this? You can't just wander around in the black market. If you get caught, you'll be in big trouble."
Shi Qingqian hurriedly explained: "Auntie, don't worry, I don't have any bad intentions. I just want to buy something. It's not that I don't have enough tickets, so..."
The aunt hesitated for a long time, her eyes full of confusion. Finally, she sighed and said in a low voice: "Little comrade, for the sake of your candy, I will tell you something."
"Go straight ahead on this street until you reach the intersection with the big locust tree. Turn left and walk a little further until you see a dilapidated courtyard. There might be black market transactions going on nearby, but be careful, as there are often some questionable people hanging around there."
Shi Qingqian said gratefully, "Auntie, thank you so much. Don't worry, I'll go take a look."
The auntie still reminded him worriedly: "Little comrade, you must be careful. If you feel something is wrong, leave immediately."
Shi Qingqian nodded and walked in the direction the aunt said, staring straight ahead, looking for the intersection with the big locust tree.
After entering the space and putting on makeup, I walked forward for a while and finally saw the big locust tree. It had a thick trunk and lush branches and leaves.
She turned left as the aunt instructed. The road looked a little remote and there were fewer pedestrians.
After walking for a while, she saw a dilapidated yard. Some parts of the yard wall had collapsed and it looked overgrown with weeds.
There were indeed some people walking quietly around the yard, with a look of vigilance in their eyes.
Shi Qingqian slowed down her pace and was about to get closer to take a look when she suddenly heard a stern shout from behind her: "What are you doing here?"
Shi Qingqian was startled and slowly turned around, only to see a tall man looking at her with a frown and a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
Shi Qingqian's mind raced, and he forced a smile on his face as he said, "Brother, can I go in and buy some food?"
The man still frowned and looked her up and down, looking poor and not like someone who could afford to give her money.
"This is not the place for you, leave now."
