"Alright, let's begin!"
Gao Hu stood not far away, acting as the referee for the two.
With that order, Dian Wei jumped out, his huge body bringing up a gust of wind.
He looked like he was hunting in the mountains.
Lin Chen smiled and looked at Dian Wei, who had already run far away.
After adjusting his breathing, he followed after her.
The speed at which he started was much faster than seven days ago.
not far away
Beside Gao Hu, Qiao Song and Wu Yong also appeared.
"Lord Wu, Lord Qiao!"
Looking at the two of them, Gao Hu hurriedly bowed.
"Gao Hu, what happened? Why is Daren competing with someone?”
The one who spoke was Wu Yong. His weathered face carried some worry. During this period of time, he had been busy with a lot of things every day. Wu Yong's entire person was even more haggard than seven days ago.
Qiao Song also sized up Dian Wei, who was a few hundred meters away from Lin Chen, with doubt. He knew many people and could tell that Dian Wei was extraordinary with just one glance.
At the same time, she curiously looked at Lin Chen.
He had heard about Lin Chen running 20 laps in one go, but he had never seen it before.
Looking at the 3,000 recruits on the drill ground, a smile appeared on his face. It was obvious that he had already guessed Lin Chen's goal.
Gao Hu also explained,
"My lord wants to recruit this warrior Dian Wei to take up the position of Lujiang commandant, but because my lord's reputation is not prominent, he doubts my lord's ability. Therefore, my lord proposed this bet and gathered all the soldiers to come and watch.”
"Dian Wei?"
Hearing Gao Hu's words, Qiao Song and Wu Yong were puzzled at the same time. They were deep in thought, apparently finding this name familiar.
Gao Hu did not hide anything and explained,"
"Half a month ago, Dian Wei killed Li Yong, the Fuchun Chief of Wu County. His name is on the wanted list.”
As soon as Gao Hu said this, the two of them immediately reacted. Qiao Song's expression returned to normal, but Wu Yong frowned slightly and said,
"Isn't this a bit too risky, Milord? Furthermore, you're directly appointed as a commandant."
"Old Wu, don't worry. Daren should know in his heart. We just need to quietly watch the results.”
Qiao Song couldn't help but recall the bet he made with Lin Chen. If he couldn't meet his expectations within three months, he would let him leave. However, it had only been seven days, and he had already given up on the idea of leaving.
Since Qiao Song had said so, Wu Yong also nodded, and his gaze returned to the drill ground.
At this moment, Lin Chen was already half a lap behind.
Dian Wei's face wasn't red and he wasn't panting. Clearly, his physique and stamina weren't just for show.
The eyes of the 3,000 recruits were all on Lin Chen and Dian Wei. No one knew why they were standing there.
No one knew why Lin Chen was running with a burly man and was so far behind.
however
Seeing Lin Chen fall behind, many people heaved a sigh of relief.
Lin Chen was the prefect of Lujiang County and also their lord.
In their hearts, they naturally did not want to see Lin Chen being surpassed by a stranger.
Round after round
Everyone's mentality also gradually changed. From the previous indignation, doubt, and curiosity, it gradually evolved into surprise, shock, and disbelief.
In his sprinting state, Dian Wei overtook Lin Chen by one lap. By the time Dian Wei finished his sixth lap, Lin Chen had only finished his fifth.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.
It was no secret that Lin Chen could run 20 laps in one go in the military camp. Even some people in Wan County knew about it.
After all, most of the 900 people who had left knew this secret.
However, they were shocked by Dian Wei.
He ran six laps in one go. If he ran four miles in one lap, that would be more than twenty miles. Moreover, he had overtaken Lin Chen by one lap.
What kind of monster was this?
However, after the sixth lap, Dian Wei's speed gradually slowed down. Lin Chen's speed was still the same as before, moving forward at a constant speed.
On the tenth lap, Lin Chen caught up and the two were even.
After every lap, Gao Hu would report their results. Dian Wei was also constantly paying attention to Lin Chen's movements.
At this moment, even Dian Wei was shocked. How could he not know that he had underestimated Lin Chen?
On Dian Wei's fourteenth lap, Lin Chen had already overtaken him by one lap and was on his fifteenth lap.
Looking at Lin Chen, who was still running like a machine, Dian Wei stopped.
His gaze fell directly on Gao Hu. He sat on the ground, panting.
"I won't run anymore. I admit defeat and I agree to stay.”
Although he felt that he could still run a few more laps, Lin Chen was enough to convince him.
By following such a person, not only would he be able to clear his name as a murderer, but he would also be able to serve as a county commandant. He was not stupid.
"In that case, we welcome Commandant Dian to join Lujiang.”
Hearing Dian Wei admit defeat, Gao Hu smiled and cupped his hands at Dian Wei.
Looking at Gao Hu's happy expression, Dian Wei could guess,
"Did you all already know that the lord was so good at running, causing me to make a fool of myself in front of so many people?”
Hearing the way Dian Wei addressed Lin Chen, everyone smiled again.
Gao Hu smiled and explained,
"Commandant Dian, you are the one doubting my lord's ability. Besides, you have made a fool of yourself. No one here, including me, except for my lord, can run more than ten laps. Commandant Dian ran fourteen laps in one breath, which is enough to convince the soldiers in the future.”
"If that's the case, then should I go and run a few more laps?”
Dian Wei suddenly understood. He quickly stood up from the ground and scratched his head in embarrassment.
At this moment, Qiao Song also stood out and cupped his hands towards Dian Wei.
"The soldiers have already experienced Commandant Dian's bravery, but since he has stopped, I'm afraid he will become a joke if he continues.”
"That's true."
Dian Wei nodded, but he also cupped his fists at Qiao Song and Wu Yong.
"That's true. You can just call me Dian Wei. Commandant Dian doesn't sound used to it.”
"Wu Yong!"
"Qiao Song!"
The two of them also returned the bow. After twelve laps, they still had some energy left. Dian Wei had completely convinced the two of them.
