With the sound of two gunshots, the two strong men fell, very directly, very simply, without rolling and struggling, without screaming in pain.

Wang Xinran could have attacked just one of them, but she didn't.

She could have hurt and not kill, but she didn't do that either.

After the gunshots, there was silence inside and outside the city, and there were no shouts of surprise, only fear.

Wu Zhongyuan was both surprised and not surprised by Wang Xinran's approach, and after a short period of silence, he stepped forward, took the pistol in Wang Xinran's hand and flipped it over to inspect, he did not ask Wang Xinran why he did this, because he knew why Wang Xinran did this, Wang Xinran had at least three purposes for this move, to be precise, three reasons, one was that two strong men besieged a woman and aroused her disgust, and the other was that Wang Xinran understood him and knew what kind of message he wanted to convey to the outside world through today's pro-soldier selection. The third is that Wang Xinran intends to establish authority, not only for himself, but also for him.

After a short look, Wu Zhongyuan returned the pistol to Wang Xinran and pointed at her to the queue.

Wang Xinran walked over under the gaze of everyone, calm and calm, looking as usual.

After Wang Xinran, there were two columns of candidates, and these two columns did not compete and ended with one of them withdrawing.

At this point, the selection is over, the selected and unsuccessful are separated, and three corpses are left in the field.

Before the selection began, everyone was very excited, but as the selection progressed, the atmosphere became very solemn, and in the end, it was even solemn to the point of depression, Wu Zhongyuan's selection of the Praetorian Guard's pro-soldiers exceeded everyone's expectations and imagination, before that, he left the impression that everyone was friendly and casual, and at this time everyone didn't think so, they saw Wu Zhongyuan's cold side through this selection.

At this time, the Creation Department sent over the yellow cloak exclusive to the Praetorian Guards, Wu Zhongyuan glanced at Zhu Qianwei, and wished Qianwei to understand, re-line the line, and organize the distribution.

There were more than 600 people, and it took a long time to distribute the cloaks, during which Wu Zhongyuan had been standing still, and because he had not obtained his permission, the unsuccessful people did not dare to retreat, and even the wizards and warriors on the city wall did not dare to leave on their own.

After all the soldiers put on yellow cloaks, Wu Zhongyuan walked to the front of the queue and spoke in a deep voice, "Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, I don't need you to distinguish between right and wrong, I don't need you to take the scale, and I don't need you to question whether the order is correct, I just need you to obey the order." ”

After a short pause, Wu Zhongyuan said, "Your ability to distinguish between right and wrong is not as high as mine, and you are not as good at grasping the scale as I am, and you may not understand my orders very well at a critical moment. If a monster turns into your relatives and friends, I can tell but you can't, I let you kill them, but you disobey your orders, who will bear the serious consequences? Is it me, who is in charge of the overall situation, or you, as a soldier?"

Wu Zhongyuan's words made Wang Xinran frown slightly, because in her opinion, Wu Zhongyuan's explanation was a bit redundant, and it would reduce the solemnity and majesty he had deliberately erected before, but she also understood Wu Zhongyuan's helplessness, there were too many stupid people, and he didn't understand his good intentions, and if he didn't explain, it would lead to unnecessary slander and questioning and slander.

Wu Zhongyuan said, "In the future, you will be responsible for protecting the safety of the palace, I may also send you to protect others, or I may send you to do other things, you must fulfill your duties, carefully abide by the etiquette, and do not exceed the slightest bit, you can't see what you shouldn't see, you can't say what you shouldn't say, you can't ask what you shouldn't ask, and you can't do what you shouldn't do." ”

Wu Zhongyuan said nothing, no one answered, Wang Xinran wanted to laugh but held back, the reason why she wanted to laugh was because what Wu Zhongyuan said before was part of the military regulations of later generations.

Zhu Qianwei raised his breath and asked, "Have you heard what the Holy Lord said?"

As soon as he was selected as a janissary, he reacted, and hundreds of people responded in unison.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't stand in place all the time, but walked slowly in front of the queue, and said in a deep voice, "I have experienced more dangers than you, I have experienced more wars than you, I know better than you how difficult it is to be brave, many people just think they are brave, but they are afraid to die when it comes to the end, if I was born and died when I didn't know the order to compete, those who quit may not know that they are so timid until they pee their pants when the catastrophe is imminent, if this kind of person mixes into the Praetorian Guard, what will be the consequences?" Not only will you lose your own life, but you will also kill your comrades and those you protect. ”

Wu Zhongyuan said here and turned to face the losers, "Those who take the initiative to withdraw, don't make any excuses for your cowardice, I can even guess what kind of excuses you will come up with, there are no more than two kinds, one is unwilling to kill each other with the clansmen, and the other is dissatisfied with my approach, I tell you, only by letting you face life and death, can you tell who is truly brave, if I don't use this selection method, all those who quit will die on the battlefield one day, it is better to lose face today than to lose his life one day." ”

Wu Zhongyuan said here and pointed to the three corpses not far away, "They died for you, where they died, and they were brought back for burial, and their families were cared for." ”

Someone shouted yes, sent someone out, and brought the body back.

Wu Zhongyuan turned to the east and stretched out his hand to point at Wang Xinran, "You, the woman with the hidden weapon, come out." ”

When Wang Xinran came out, Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand at Zhu Qianwei, who understood, stepped forward on his own, and led the selected guards into the city.

Wu Zhongyuan and Wang Xinran walked behind.

"Hey, beauty, what's your name?" Wu Zhongyuan didn't smile.

"You shouldn't have explained so much to them just now, it would be detrimental to your majesty. Wang Xinran was also expressionless.

"Obey the people, lest they misunderstand and slander. "Wu Zhongyuan speaks a modern language.

Wang Xinran also spoke in modern language, "People who understand you don't need to explain, and people who don't understand you don't need to explain, and it's useless for people who don't understand you, I killed them, didn't cause you trouble?"

"It's okay, there must be a moral floor. Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, because there were people in the distance, there was no expression on their faces when they spoke.

"Did something happen to you?" Wang asked Xinran.

"What's wrong?" Wu Zhongyuan asked rhetorically.

"What you did just now obviously had the smell of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, killing the chicken and the monkey, did anyone provoke you?" Wang Xinran asked.

"It's a long story. Wu Zhongyuan said, and then told Wang Xinran about Wu Di's conspiracy with the old blind man in a concise manner.

After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Wang nodded happily, "I'm in the city, I can't be with you, so as not to arouse suspicion, you don't have to worry about me, and you don't have to take special care of me." ”

After Wang Xinran finished speaking, he hurried quickly and caught up with the Praetorian Guards in front.

The residence of the Praetorian Guards has been prepared for a long time, just around the Imperial Palace, and the Praetorian Guards are closer to the Imperial Palace than the Left Auxiliary Hall and the Right Bi Palace.

Zhu Qianwei knows Wang Xinran's identity, and the future affairs can be handed over to Zhu Qianwei to deal with, these guards have just been selected, and they still need to go through the corresponding training.

It was getting late, but Wu Zhongyuan did not go to the harem, but returned to the Zhongtian Hall to deal with official business.

Youxiong was originally the capital of the bear clan, but now the Central Plains is unified, and a large number of functional departments need to be added, and the expansion of the capital is urgent.

The offices and residences of the officials of the six ministries need to be built, and there are not only two chief officials of the six ministries, but also a large number of office officials, who need to be transferred from all over the country, and need to prepare a large number of houses and residences.

After the unification of the world, there were more people from all over the country who came for business, and there were many people who came to worship and establish diplomatic relations.

The post yards responsible for war horse mounts and communication in various places also need to be expanded, and a large number of messenger birds must be domesticated, as well as those blue-eyed golden eagles, which also need to be given a fixed place to be placed.

The tax materials of the major walled cities will soon be delivered, and the treasury that hoards all kinds of materials must also be expanded, selected, and positioned, all of which must be decided by him.

There are also schools and Fushou Yuan prepared for the major walled castles must also start construction immediately, and at the end of the month, these nobles will rush from all over the world, and they can't be left without a place to live, and they must be allowed to study after they come, and he has to decide what to learn.

The old blind man and others did not have a vegetarian meal, and all they submitted to the Prime Minister's House were requests for instructions, to put it bluntly, they had already made up a general opinion, and it only depended on whether he agreed or not, and this practice reduced his pressure to a great extent.

For the next period of time, Wu Zhongyuan was busy from morning to night every day, not only he was busy, everyone with bears was busy, and the expansion needed stone and wood, and the armadillos brought by Lao Er from Heiji Mountain were busy digging holes from the back mountain, and the caves were used to store a large number of war materials, and the stones were used to build buildings. Timber is relatively easy to obtain, and it is cut directly from outside the city, which not only expands the area of farmland outside the city, but also improves the safety of the city.

As the so-called many people have great strength, this is true, all people work together, there are new changes every day in Xiongcheng, changing with each passing day, and expanding rapidly.

At this time, not only Xiong is busy, but the major walled cities are also busy, the Quartet camp is being built, and a large number of conscripts are needed, which all need to be coordinated and cooperated by Prince Li and Prince Jiang, and the two clans' practice of qi and martial arts have already been sent, this is the greatest sincerity of surrender and loyalty, and he should also give a reward for repaying the peach, and before he had promised that many of the walled cities and Yi cities in charge of the two of them were equipped with Xuantie weapons, this matter must also be implemented, and take people to Yanyun Mountain to get them, two hundred pieces each, and send them to Lianshan and Jiuli respectively.

Yanyun Mountain also has a large number of damaged and unusable dark iron weapons, which were brought out together and handed over to Li Dashou to be cast and rebuilt, and the dark iron long knife was created in a unified manner, similar in shape to the Oriental *** of later generations, and it was exclusively equipped with yellow-robed guards.

Prior to this, he had instructed Li Dashou to build Xuantie armor, at that time Li Dashou had few helpers, and could only build one set per month, this time all the metallurgical masters of the bird clan worked together to create a set every day, this kind of Xuantie armor mixed with Xuanjing, not only invulnerable, but also inductively worn, this is what he prepared for the eighteen warriors, very precious, each set of creation will be put into storage.

Yiren's Tiangang crossbow and earth demon bow also began to build, the first to create a strong bow crossbow is not equipped with the major walled cities, but plans to be the first to be distributed to the four camps, after the unification of the three clans, his strategy has changed, change from passive defense to active sniping, from the Quartet to confine the stationed heavy troops, even if the seal disappears, you can also block and intercept the four clans of gods, ghosts and demons, so as to gain more time to recuperate and develop and grow.

Due to his busy schedule, many of the things he wanted to do were too late, and he had to postpone going to the orc altar to try to obtain the Black Soul Stone.

summoned Jiang Zheng and Li Tai to inquire about the past, and they could only delay it.

I didn't care about moving my mother's grave to Jiuli.

In addition, Zhou Raoguo's dwarf had come to ask for help before, hoping that he could send someone to help drive away the cannibal seabirds, this matter must be done, because Zhou Raoguo's people are good at making things, you can ask them to come over to help make firearms and other firearms, but the premise of asking them to help them expel the cannibal seabirds, he is not at ease to send others to this matter, Wu Di is the best candidate, she has the eagle king, and the odds of winning are very high, but Wu Di is also busy at this time, and he can't pull out at all, so this matter can only be postponed.

There is also a way to find a way to advance to the ninth order of Tiange, if you want to advance to the ninth order of Tiange, there are only two ways, one is to explore the white-haired old man in Yanyun Mountain who has no primordial god, this person is a silver aura, you can try to examine his meridians, so as to deduce the key to practicing qi. Another way is to deduce the Jin Jian Xuanwen, that is, the Heavenly Seal Script, and find out how to improve it. But both of these methods require a lot of time, and if you don't have the energy to do them at the moment, you can only put it off.

If it was replaced by someone else, so many things came in one after another, and it would have been uncontrollable and collapsed, but he was busy, Wu Zhongyuan had never messed up, what to do first, what to do later, the organization was very clear, and many trivial matters were not forgotten, and he was not allowed to send someone to inform Yiren in his busy schedule, he had previously asked Yiren to send a hundred young men and women to come to Youxiong after the festival to participate in the bloodline test, and teach martial arts, and he had to go over to inform them of the specific date, that is, the end of this month.

During this period, the shell currency was also created, and Wu Zhongyuan immediately issued an order to pass through the whole country, and the unification of the currency has great significance, which is convenient for purchase and circulation.

Since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Wu Zhongyuan began to work with Wu Huan, Li Wanzi, and Jiang Dahua to discuss the three clans' qi practice and martial arts mastery, and the cave god warriors of the major walled cities have rushed from everywhere There are bears, this time it is not only the bear clan warriors, but also the bird clan and the cow clan, they must determine whether the martial arts of the three clans and the qi practice can be combined.

The result of the scrutiny is that the Qi and Heart Cultivation Methods of the three clans are indeed related to the bloodline, the warriors of the Niu Clan cannot cultivate the martial arts of the Bear Clan, and the Bear Clan cannot cultivate the martial arts of the other two clans, and the Bird Clan is also like this, if you want to change this situation, you can only intermarry and mix blood.

This is bad news, but there is also good news, that is, the pure yang and pure yin bloodlines are not affected by the bloodline, to put it bluntly, the people of the pure yang and pure yin bloodlines of the Niu clan and the bird clan can also practice the spells of the bear clan.

Before the end of the month, Wu Zhongyuan and Dasha went out for a trip, without the Qinglong Armor, the movement speed was greatly affected, and it took a day and night to go to Xinyue Island in the East China Sea.

He brought outside food to the monkeys when he came and took a lot of fruit with him when he left.

When he went back, he didn't go back to Youxiong directly, but went to Daze and had a brief conversation with Wu Qin, telling Wu Qin that he was going to take Ah Luo away, and then left some fruit and went to Heling to pick up Ah Luo and Ah Bing Youxiong.

Dasha landed from the post field, Wu Zhongyuan took the two of them to the direction of the school, he was going to put A Luo into the guard, A Bing is still young, and he can go to the school like the children of the high-ranking cadres of a walled city.

After walking a short distance, Ah Bing suddenly stopped.

Wu Zhongyuan felt it and tilted his head to look at him.

"My lord, there is something on the person who passed by just now......
