Chapter 44: Recruitment
It was the height of summer, the sun was shining, and the faint spots of light were scattered in the neat room of Chen Jiuyou.
Chen Jiuyou was in front of the bronze mirror at this time, dressing up, and today he had to meet to recruit and catch fast, and his clothes had to be formal.
Now, compared with when he first arrived in Jiangnan, the childishness on his face has disappeared, and a sense of majesty arises spontaneously.
He already knew today's itinerary, first to borrow people from Lu Yuanming's base, then to ask for help from the intelligence department, and finally to set up a stall in a crowded place to recruit.
Put on the waist tag and fast catcher, and after tidying up, bring the tea leaves in the stronghold, and walk towards the second team stronghold. After all, you always have to get some gifts when you visit someone.
The second team's stronghold is not far from the sixth team's stronghold, just across the street.
The specifications and decorations of the six strongholds of the Tenshofu Branch were almost the same, and Tatsukuyu easily found their stronghold. At this time, the gate of Lu Yuanming's stronghold was wide open.
Coming to the door of the stronghold, Chen Jiuyou knocked a few times in front of the door in a polite manner, and said: "Chen Jiuyou, the sixth team of general flags, come to visit Lu Zongqi." "The voice is loud and atmospheric.
Soon, Lu Yuanming's voice came from inside the stronghold: "Please come in!"
Now that the master has given permission, Chen Jiuyou strode into the second team stronghold, there were already several men waiting in the courtyard of the stronghold at this time, Lu Yuanming kept smiling, and the people next to him should be his subordinates, and they all looked at Chen Jiuyou in surprise at this time, obviously they already knew that Chen Jiuyou instantly defeated a team of patrols and hunted fast yesterday, and it was also the day after tomorrow, how could you be so good.
Lu Yuanming looked at Chen Jiuyou with a smile: "Chen Zongqi, how can you have time to visit me today, what a rare guest." ”
Chen Jiuyou arched his hand and responded: "On my first visit, Chen took some good Longjing, I hope Brother Lu likes it." ”
Lu Yuanming's eyes lit up when he saw the tea leaves, "How embarrassing is this, and you brought a gift here." Having said that, he took the tea directly with his hand.
"Brother Chen, come to me today, I think there must be something you need help with, just say it, my brother will definitely help you. ”
"Then thank you Brother Lu, I'm about to recruit talents into the Heavenly Shogunate today, so I need some help, I don't know if Brother Lu can lend me a few people to help me recruit." ”
"This is easy to say, Lao Wei, Xiao Chen, the two of you help Xia Chen Zongqi to recruit talents. ”
After speaking, he pointed to the two catchers in the back, one was older, and the other was about the same age as Chen Jiuyou.
Chen Jiuyou saw that it was already very good to be able to borrow two people, and nodded, "Thank you Brother Lu, I still have to be busy recruiting, so I will leave first, and I will visit again when I have time." ”
"Okay, okay, Brother Chen often comes to visit when he has time. ”
"Definitely, definitely. ”
After completing the borrowing work, it is time to borrow someone from the Intelligence Department of the Tenshofu Branch.
After thinking about it, Chen Jiuyou turned to Xiao Chen next to him and said, "Xiao Chen, you first post my four recruitment notices in the crowded places of the four urban districts, and then take the four and post them on the bulletin board at the city gate, this matter is very important, do it quickly." ”
Xiao Chen nodded yes, took the recruitment notice and ran out.
Chen Jiuyou saw Xiao Chen's diligent appearance, and nodded with satisfaction, still a young man is motivated to work.
"Let's go, Old Wei, follow me to the Intelligence Department. ”
Chen Jiuyou had just entered the gate of the Heavenly Shogunate, and suddenly, a fist slammed into Chen Jiuyou's side face.
But Chen Jiuyou had already noticed that a trace of murderous aura appeared, and the ghost shadow was instantly launched, but his head flashed, and his fist passed directly through his afterimage, and Chen Jiuyou had already turned around and looked coldly at the man who attacked him.
This person is none other than Niu Jun.
Niu Jun roared angrily: "Chen Jiuyou, you dared to abolish Lao Tzu's subordinates last night, and today you accept your life!"
After speaking, he rushed directly towards Chen Jiuyou, the attack was rapid, don't look at his strong body, his strength and speed are not weak.
Chen Jiuyou also knew what was going on, it turned out that it was Niu Jun's subordinates who stopped him yesterday, and he couldn't stop it once, and he had the audacity to attack him at the Tianshofu Branch, did he really think that Chen Jiuyou was muddy!
Chen Jiuyou decided to teach this big guy a painful lesson, to defeat him in the most confident aspect of the Niu Army!
Lower the center of gravity, stride and punch, directly hit the fist from Niu Jun, the two fists collided, and hit a turbulent wave of qi.
Niu Jun's face changed, he didn't expect Chen Jiuyou's strength to be so strong, a huge force was tearing his arm, and he hurriedly entered the qi to resist.
Chen Jiuyou saw Niu Jun using his strength, and sneered, which was also a blessing for his strength. Chen Jiuyou and Niu Jun's strength competed in their fists, but as soon as the burning silence qi broke out, it was like a tiger coming out of the cage, and it was like a bamboo, directly defeating Niu Jun's strength and roaring along Niu Jun's fist.
Niu Jun's arm was instantly hit by the qi and blood flowed sideways, the tendons and veins in his arm were cracked, the sound of fractures sounded layer by layer, and the severe pain made Niu Jun howl in pain.
Niu Jun is also a ruthless person, facing this situation, his eyes are red like blood, he is crazy, and with the other hand, he does not give up and attacks Chen Jiuyou's face, looking like he is going to die together.
Chen Jiuyou was still calm and composed, a blow to the crane and the dragon, inhaled Niu Jun's fist, turned his palm into a claw, and directly grabbed his wrist, and then four or two thousand catties, Niu Jun's body was lifted up, and one fell down over the shoulder.
With a bang, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and a large pit was smashed out of the courtyard of the Tianshofu branch, and the Niu army at this time was already covered with blood and passed out.
Chen Jiuyou patted the dust on his clothes, sorted out the clothes that were a little messy, took out a few silver ingots from his pocket, and threw them beside Niu Jun at will.
"That's the medical bills, and the extra is for repairing the floor. ”
After finishing speaking, he didn't look at Niu Jun and walked straight to the Information Department of the Tenshogunate.
Seeing this scene, the catcher next to him was already stunned, but he didn't expect this young general flag to be so fierce, like a little monster, and the seven-fold Niu Army of the day after tomorrow couldn't make two moves in his hands.
"Old Wei, I just wasted some time by Niu Jun, it's not too early now, you go to Dongcheng District to find a densely populated place, set up a stall, and use it for recruitment, and when I finish handling things here, I'll go over." ”
"Yes, my subordinates will do it. Lao Wei originally had contempt for this young general banner, but when he saw the tragic situation of Niu Jun today, he instantly became extremely honest.
The intelligence department is connected to the mission hall, and the general task leader is also in charge of the intelligence department, and the previous person in charge surnamed Zeng has been transferred to another post because he lost Dong Dayou's head.
Now the task hall is in charge of an old catcher surnamed Zhu, looking at the appearance of this old catcher's thick eyebrows and fine eyes, he knows that he is a very shrewd person.
"Zhu Zhukuai, hello, my recruitment work, I need a brother from the intelligence department to screen the identity of the candidate for me, please help. Chen Jiuyou arched his hand and said.
The catcher surnamed Zhu thought for a while, then turned his head and shouted to the catcher next to him: "Xiao Liu, come here and do this chief flag a little favor." ”
Turning his head to Chen Jiuyou, he said: "Xiao Liu has the ability to never forget, you take him with you, and he will give you the identity of the applicant." ”
Chen Jiuyou thanked him: "Thank you Zhu Zhutou." Xiao Liu, come with me. ”
After saying that, he walked out like a fly, and now the propaganda work over there should have been done, and he was waiting for him to preside over the recruitment work.
After a while, Chen Jiuyou had already come to Dongcheng District, and at this time, the booth in charge of recruitment was already full of people. It seems that after the announcement was pasted, it caused quite a stir.
Chen Jiuyou appeared at the booth in a flash, and Lao Wei was busy collecting the registration forms of the people.
"Hello folks, this official was the first to serve as the general banner of the Shogunate, and our fast catching team is upright and waiting to be revived, so we have spent a lot of money to recruit talents and become our fast catcher, as long as you are good enough, you can stand out. ”
A citizen said excitedly: "Official, what you said about twenty taels, is it true?"
Chen Jiuyou responded loudly: "That's right, I recruit talents with sincerity, twenty taels of real money, and I will never cheat, but the number of places is limited, as long as there are five, while supplies last." ”
Another person asked, "How do you qualify?"
"The reason why this official has issued such a high salary is to attract outstanding talents into our fast hunting team, so it depends on whether you are suitable or not.
We, the Tenshogunate, are going to fight some vicious people and assist our officials in handling cases. If you think about it carefully, the number of places is limited, as long as you have high martial arts skills or special skills.
I am the chief examiner of this recruitment, and those who come can come to me to receive twenty taels as long as they hold my three punches. Don't be in a hurry, come one by one. ”
"I'll come first!" As soon as the words fell, a loud shout rang out from the crowd.
A strong man squeezed through the crowd and walked in with heavy steps, one meter nine tall and covered in horizontal flesh.
"Are you sure you only need to get through your three punches?"
"Sure. Chen Jiuyou looked at him lightly.
"What if I knock you down. The strong man seemed to have a lot of confidence in himself.
Chen Jiuyou smiled when he heard this: "If you can do it, then you will be added to fifty taels!"
"Good!good!good!" the strong man shouted three times in a row, and the whole person became excited, and his eyes were full of silver ingots, as if he was waiting for him to get it.
"What's your name?" Chen Jiuyou asked casually.
"Villain Tyrant, are you ready?"
Chen Jiuyou nodded: "Do you need to take a weapon?"
Bahu looked at his fist and said confidently, "I believe in my fist more." ”
"Okay, let's attack it. ”
"Then my lord be careful!"
As soon as the words fell, Bahu rushed straight over, "Kill!" and punched Chen Jiuyou.
Chen Jiuyou just looked at him fixedly, put on a defensive posture, and suddenly, with lightning speed, he slapped the strong man's chest and directly knocked him out, the speed was too fast, and the people watching next to him suddenly exclaimed, in their eyes, the fierce strong man, when he was close to the general flag catcher, he suddenly flew out.
After the strong man fell to the ground, he foamed at the mouth, fainted directly, and couldn't stand up.
Chen Jiuyou shook his head when he saw it, it was obvious that this strong man was not up to par, he relied too much on brute force, his skills were insufficient, his muscles were dead muscles, and he couldn't stand up just because he was beaten by Chen Jiuyou in a weak place.
The defeat of the bully dealt a serious blow to the enthusiasm of the surrounding masses, and in their eyes, such a powerful strong man was knocked out with just one punch, but the temptation of the twenty taels of silver was not small, and they still stepped forward one after another to challenge Chen Jiuyou, and in order to win, they resorted to all kinds of methods and tricks.
It's a pity that great strength can crush all conspiracies. No one has survived Chen Jiuyou's three punches all day, not to mention three punches, and none of them even stood up after the first punch.
Gradually, no one stepped forward to challenge it anymore, after all, seeing so many precedents fail.
But Chen Jiuyou didn't mean to lower his standards at all, in his opinion, these twenty taels were not opened casually, and opening this tael with his position had already provoked the anger of the public, and the other catches were not enough for ten taels, and his team's twenty taels were all twenty taels. He set a very high goal for his team, and he made it a standard requirement to face alienated people. In the future, you may encounter a danger that is more powerful than that of an alienated person, and if you don't have the strength to come in, you will only lose your life.
In this way, a day passed, and no one passed, but Chen Jiuyou stood on the bulletin board and thought.
Lao Wei came behind Chen Jiuyou and asked, "My lord, what are you thinking?"
Chen Jiuyou asked Lao Wei: "Old Wei, you say, where are there many masters in this Changxing County?"
Lao Wei replied directly without thinking: "Of course, it is a gathering place for some gangs, or a black street, where warriors often go to buy or trade items. ”
After hearing this, Chen Jiuyou suddenly realized and clapped his hands: "Yes, why didn't I expect that tomorrow you and Xiao Chen will post recruitment notices to various gang gathering places, as well as the black street, there is not a single decent master on this day." ”
"Yes, sir. ”
"Thank you. ”
