Chapter 1173: Unexpected Competition
Seeing Xiao Qiang lying there in a serious manner, Wu Dao was hunched down and kept in the dark and didn't care, but the empress Lisa on the throne knew it clearly, seeing that he was lying a lot, even she, who had always been strict, couldn't help laughing. "Words*love*first*hair[If you look good at romance novels, come to dashubao] Xiao Qiang secretly grinned at her at this time, but in exchange for a cold and dissatisfied glare.
"So if the Governor is willing to give me back this opportunity, I will definitely redouble my efforts." Xiao Qiang didn't continue to pay attention to Empress Lisa's attitude, and smiled at Wu Daohuo, who was thinking on the side, and said, "My skills, I should believe that Lord Steward is sure."
Wu Daoluo glanced at Xiao Qiang, and said with some embarrassment, "What should I do, Mr. Xiao, I really wanted to leave the opportunity of the chief of the guard to you, but didn't you refuse just now, so I have a new candidate, I have already contacted it, and the other party has agreed." ”
"Ah" As soon as Wu Daoluo's words came out, not only Xiao Qiang was dumbfounded, but even the veiled Empress Xià next to her was nervous and grabbed the armrest of the throne with her nervous little hand, and the two obviously did not expect that such an unexpected change would take place in this matter, how could this be good
Originally, according to the cooperation plan between the two, Xiao Qiang should naturally become the empress's personal guard chief and take over the work of the seriously injured Hua Lin, and then Xiao Qiang will recruit mercenaries, in fact, the members of the Dragon War Guard to play the role of guards, so that the empress can have the freedom and space to move and hide from Wu Daoluo to secretly carry out the eradication plan. But Wu Daoluo actually found a candidate in such a short time, so if Xiao Qiang didn't become the empress's personal guard, it would undoubtedly directly disrupt all the plans of the two, and they were not nervous and surprised
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Xiao, I know you're doing good kung fu, but it's a pity you're late. If I had sooner, I wouldn't have looked for someone else. Wu Daoluo shrugged regretfully, with a helpless expression.
Empress Lisa pretended to be calm at this time and said, "Chief, why don't you notify me in advance of such a big matter if you want to re-recruit the royal guards?"
Wu Daoluo was hindered by outsiders, but he still smiled respectfully and respectfully, "Your Majesty, it is the responsibility of the chief to choose the royal guards for you, and you haven't come back just now, so I haven't said it for the time being, I plan to talk to you in private, what do you say?"
Empress Lisa felt the threat hidden in Wu Daoluo's words, she was silent for a while, and then her tone became lower and asked, "Then can you tell me who the guards you are looking for, this is always okay?"
"Of course, well, it doesn't matter if I say it in front of Mr. Xiao, the chief of the guard I am looking for is a master of Indo-Burmese boxing, and Rapa has been defeated by him. What's even more rare is that he is also proficient in all kinds of firearms, and his command ability and combat ability are not mentioned. What's even more rare is that he also has a group of extremely well-trained subordinates, and they are loyal to the royal family and have a clean net worth, which can be of great use. I think Her Majesty would like it very much if she saw their kung fu and strength. ”
As soon as Wu Daotuo said this, Empress Lisa's pupils shrank sharply in an instant, and Xiao Qiang's face changed, and he quickly linked these candidates with the killers that Wu Daotuo secretly trained.
It seems that this Wu Daoluo really doesn't plan to give the empress any chance to protect herself, once his killers are qualified for the duties of the royal guards, not to mention that the empress wants to overthrow him, I'm afraid that even his freedom will be restricted, and he will really become a canary in the deep palace
Empress Lisa undoubtedly realized the severity of this question, frowned and said, "Don't talk too much, that person has never even met in person, you know that he is extremely capable, and his strength is excellent, I think Mr. Xiao's kung fu is obvious to all, and it may be better for him to be the captain of the guard." ”
Hearing Empress Lisa's words, Xiao Qiang's heart tightened. This woman was a little too anxious, and actually took the initiative to recommend herself
Empress, Empress, don't you know that Wu Daoluo is very suspicious, and you want to recommend me so arrogantly, won't it make Wu Daoluo doubt my relationship with you, the more you are like this, the more vigilant Wu Daotuo will definitely be
Sure enough, Wu Daoluo squinted, glanced at Empress Lisa and said, "I can't see it, Her Majesty the Empress admires Mr. Xiao a lot."
Empress Lisa also seemed to react, she seemed to be a little incoherent and hurried, and hurriedly defended, "Not only do I admire, don't you appreciate that Lapa is also a boxing champion, and he didn't even survive a round in his hands, everyone appreciates such a master."
When Wu Daoluo saw the empress say this, he reluctantly nodded and passed the test. Xiao Qiang exhaled secretly, and hurriedly helped, "Lord Steward, what can I do now, I urgently need a job, if I can, let me be the head of the guard."
"It's not up to me to decide who will be the chief of the guard. Speaking of which, it is better to rely on your own strength to speak. Wu Daoluo glanced at Xiao Qiang and said seriously, "Mr. Xiao, there is no doubt that your skills are qualified to become a royal guard, but as a royal guard, your main duty is to protect the safety of Her Majesty the Empress, and now is not just the era of heroes in terms of fists and feet, the use of firearms, reaction speed and the handling of emergencies are the real tests, although you are a representative of the arms company, you must be familiar with firearms, but when it comes to the master I know, I am afraid there is still some distance." ”
Xiao Qiang smiled when he heard this, it's not that he brags, maybe there are people who are stronger than him in a certain aspect, such as kung fu, he is not the strongest, such as shooting, he is definitely not as good as those professional snipers, such as adaptability and on-the-spot command ability, he can't compare to those professional officers and staff officers, but if you talk about the comprehensive strength of these, with the special abilities provided by the Nine Heavens Xuanyu, I am afraid that it is really difficult to find a stronger candidate than him in this world.
"Lord Steward, there is an old saying in China, it is called a mule is a horse, pull it out for a walk. Whether I'm strong or the master you said is more powerful, let's know if we compare" Xiao Qiang said confidently, "Recruiting the head of the guard, you should compete fairly, and those who are capable are competent, what do you say?"
"It seems that Mr. Xiao is very confident in himself" Wu Daoluo thought about it and smiled, "Okay, then try, the winner is the king and the loser is the king, whoever is stronger will be the captain of the guard."
Hearing Wu Daohuo's promise, Empress Lisa secretly exhaled and relieved her heart. However, she glanced at Xiao Qiang with a somewhat complicated gaze, obviously a little unsure whether Xiao Qiang could really defeat that competitor.
Xiao Qiang secretly threw a glance at Empress Lisa, signaling to reassure her. Empress Lisa glared at her before she finally spoke, "In that case, let's wait until tomorrow noon to hold a competition in the palace to determine who will eventually serve as the chief of the royal guard." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty the Empress" Wu Daoluo bowed respectfully, and Empress Lisa glanced at Xiao Qiang one last time, turned around and left the palace in a dashing manner.
Xiao Qiang saw Her Majesty the Empress leave, smiled at Wu Daotuo and took the initiative to leave, but at this time he heard Wu Daotuo speak, "Mr. Xiao, you really want to take on the position of the chief of the guard."
