After chatting with Steward Mo on the way back to the yard last night, I realized that at this time in large households, it is the moment when people get up.

Now that he is the captain of the Li family's guard, he must do this job conscientiously and conscientiously, and he must not live up to the trust of the Li family master.

According to the location that Steward Mo told him last night, he turned three corners and came to a large courtyard.

The courtyard is large, with three long houses, which are dedicated to the guards.

Ye Qiu came to the door with confidence, and was just about to knock on the door, when he heard the sound inside, he put his hand down and listened carefully.

"Brother Wang, I heard that the head of the family has arranged a leader for us?"

"It seems that there is such a thing, and he will take office today, but I heard that the kid has fine skin and tender meat, and he is a showman, I really don't know how he can be the captain of the guard. ”

"It's not good to be a poor relative of the head of the family, and there are a lot of such things in recent years, just a job. ”

"Okay, don't grind, hurry up and wash up, today he is on the first day of office, as the saying goes, the new official takes office three fires, don't let him find any faults, he can't make it." ”

"Cut, I'm not afraid of him, the duty of the guard is to protect the safety of the Li family, or to rely on strength to speak, if he dares to twitter at that time, I will pinch his eggs." ”

"Shut up, you can't talk nonsense. ”

Ye Qiu heard the conversation inside clearly, and then showed a helpless smile, but he was not angry.

He was thrown into the group of demon beasts by his master since he was a child, and the fight against life and death became clearer, no matter what time it was, strength was the only factor that determined your status.

Otherwise, even if you have a background and a relationship, everyone will obey you on the surface, but behind your back, they may not know how to scold you, drag you back, or even stab you.

Ye Qiu knocked on the door twice, and without waiting for a reply from inside, he pushed the door and entered.

The guards who were washing their faces in the courtyard subconsciously turned their heads to look at the door, and when they saw the elegant Ye Qiu, they immediately reacted, and they all showed complicated eyes to look at Brother Wang, who had a sideways face and a beard.

Brother Wang picked up a towel and wiped his face, and walked towards Ye Qiu, "May I ask if you are the new captain of the guard, Ye Qiu Ye Gongzi?"

Ye Qiu nodded, didn't speak, and went straight to the crowd, looking around with his eyes, remembering everyone's appearance in his mind.

"Everyone gather and stand, I've seen Captain Ye!"

Brother Wang frowned, looking at the group standing still at all, with a little anger in his voice.

Anyway, this is the person arranged by the head of the family, even if you are not convinced, you have to pretend to be like this, and you can't let the head of the family not get off the stage.

Hearing Brother Wang's words, everyone reluctantly stood in front of Ye Qiu, divided into two rows, one by one listless, like frosted eggplants.

"Didn't they wake up one of them? I can't stand up straight, how can I protect the Li family?"

Ye Qiu deliberately kept a straight face, he knew that everyone was not convinced by him, but that was their business, and he had no reason to understand them and be kind to them.

As soon as these words came out of the crowd, muttering was everywhere, and many people cast contemptuous and contemptuous glances at Ye Qiu.

One of the big men shouted with some displeasure: "The protection of the Li family depends on personal strength, to see who has hard fists, not who is handsome." ”

Hearing the mocking sound of the big heads, everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Do you mean your fists are hard?"

Ye Qiu glanced at him, and his voice was almost cold.

"Captain Ye, Da Zhuang is upright, he didn't mean to say you, please don't care. ”

Brother Wang glared at the big man and apologized to Ye Qiu for him.

Ye Qiu raised his hand to interrupt his words, staring at Da Zhuang fiercely, "I'm asking you, do you think your fists are very hard?"

"That's right, I just think I have a hard fist, and I don't accept our fight, if you knock me to the ground, I'll recognize you as the captain. ”

As Da Zhuang spoke, he pinched his finger bones, and on his sandbag-sized fist, the earthy yellow light continued to flicker, making everyone exclaim.

"Oh my God, I didn't expect Brother Da Zhuang to awaken the earth element, he is an awakened one!"

"I'm actually working with the Awakened, no, no, no, I'm going crazy with joy. ”

......

Hearing everyone's envious voices and envious eyes, Da Zhuang's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he said proudly: "It's nothing, it's just a fluke awakening, and now it's only a second level, it's not a big deal." ”

When he said this, the corner of Da Zhuang's eyes glanced at Ye Qiu with disdain, just this weak scholar, I'm afraid he would have been scared by his own earth element.

If he cleans him up, there is a good chance that the position of the captain of the guard will be his own, and no matter how bad he is, he can take the position of deputy captain and be on an equal footing with Wang Sihai.

At that time, the monthly interest can also rise from 300 gold coins to 500 gold coins.

Ye Qiu was a little disappointed, a mere second-level elemental master was so arrogant and arrogant, naïve and unusable, "I am the captain of the Li family's director's order, I don't need you to admit it." ”

"Heh, if we don't recognize you, then your captain is an empty shell, don't talk nonsense, do you dare to compare, shouldn't it be cowardice?"

Ye Qiu shook his head, raised his hand and stretched out two fingers, "First, if I lose, I'll go and tell Uncle Li that you are the new captain of the guard, two thousand gold coins per month." ”

Da Zhuang's expression was happy, a fool is a fool, he will never understand the horror of the elemental master, the head of the family actually let this kind of person be the captain, he must have been drunk and blindly accepted his fate.

"Two ......"

Ye Qiugang said a word, and Da Zhuang interrupted impatiently, "If you win, you will be my boss in the future, and I will do whatever you say." ”

"Second, if you lose, go to the kitchen to help for three months, wash vegetables and pick vegetables, brush dishes and sweep the thatched house. ”

Ye Qiu didn't mean anything else, when he was young and frivolous, when he was impatient, he was trained by the master in this way.

You can quickly hone your patience and make yourself calm, because every job is a careful job.

If you are not careful, either there are insects on the dish, or the bowl falls on the ground and smashes it, or you make yourself fly.

But where did Da Zhuang understand his good intentions, and thought that Ye Qiu was humiliating him, and he was immediately angry.

"You're looking for death!"

Da Zhuang shouted angrily, rushed in front of Ye Qiu in a few steps, and slammed out a punch, heading straight for Ye Qiu's chest.

"It's over, Brother Da Zhuang himself has big shoulders and a round waist, and he is also an elemental awakener who has reached the height of the second level, and Captain Ye's small physique must not be killed by a punch?"

"If this kills people, it will be a big problem, and it will make the head of the family angry, and we will all have to lose our jobs collectively. ”

"There's no way, Brother Da Zhuang has already made a move, and if he takes it back at this time, he may suffer a backlash. ”

Hearing everyone's surprise, the smug look on Da Zhuang's face became fuller.

Ye Qiu slowly raised his right foot, surrounded by a burst of golden light, and then gently kicked forward.

Da Zhuang never expected that Ye Qiu, who seemed to be thin and powerless, would awaken the metallic element, which was the strongest element of attack.

But at this point, I can't coax myself, I can only go up.
