Chapter 103: Assessment
"Quick, run for Lao Tzu!" Xiao Shilian shouted loudly, waving the horsewhip in his hand.
And Li Xinchen whispered beside him: "This is already the sixth lap, and there are still four laps." ”
Xiao Shilian frowned: "Do you need to run so many circles, those who know know that we are selecting people, and those who don't know are afraid that they still think that Lao Tzu is abusing the soldiers!" According to a certain statement, all of these guards trained by my Xiao family are strong and clever, and they can meet the requirements by picking a few of them, why bother? ”
"This trip back to the capital is not as simple as you imagined, obviously General Xiao is also out of precautions," Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, stretching out his hand, "As for why you asked why so-and-so is so troublesome, running is to test their endurance, once there is any emergency on the road, it must be ensured that no matter who is sent out, the news can be delivered in time." ”
After a pause, Li Xinchen's voice carried a worry that he had never had: "In any case, we can't underestimate the history of Yangzhou Thorn, Yangzhou Thorn History has done a lot of exciting things in his life, but he has also done a lot of despicable and obscene things." Since it is necessary to be on guard, it is better to be strictly guarded. ”
Xiao Shilian's expression was also a little dignified, he grew up in a family since he was a child, and Xiao Shilian knew very well how much meaning Li Xinchen's words had. This Yangzhou assassin has always been bold, so it is not wrong to be cautious.
Looking at the Xiao family's guards running around the school field, Li Xinchen's face was solemn, and the horsewhip in his hand was raised: "Over there, the four or five people who fell behind don't have to run!" ”
"Yes!" A group of guards who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly rushed into the school field, letting the few soldiers who had fallen behind struggle and shouting, but still resolutely dragged them aside.
"That's it." Li Xinchen bowed.
Xiao Shilian immediately whispered an order, and the dizzy guards who were running on the school field were then led into an open field next to them, and several straw men were set up on the other side of the open field. In the uniform slogans of several generals, these guards almost urged their potential to step forward and draw their bows and arrows, and shoot out arrows one by one, where is there still a roar on the battlefield?
Seeing a lot of arrows flying out softly, and some even landed fluttering on the ground before they reached the line where the straw man was, Xiao Shilian's face was a little unbearable, after all, he also boasted to Li Xinchen at the beginning. No matter what, these soldiers still haven't completed Li Xinchen's assessment after all, and no matter how they explain it, it's just an excuse for incompetence
At that moment, he coughed lightly, and Xiao Shilian waved his hand. This time, there is no need for Li Xinchen to give more orders, and the guards who are responsible for eliminating people naturally know what to do.
"Almost." Li Xinchen looked intently at the school field, "Pick out those who can shoot arrows accurately, as well as those who ran in front before, and let them be in the center when the time comes, and the rest of the people who have not been eliminated are responsible for the defense of the outer layer." ”
After all, it is impossible for Li Xinchen to really use the harsh methods of selecting special forces in later generations to select soldiers in this era, and it is already beyond Li Xinchen's expectations that so many people can pass the second batch of assessments, Xiao Maha is good at training soldiers It seems that it is not in vain, even if Li Xinchen himself, even if he has such a physical quality today, it may not be feasible to successfully pass such an assessment, not to mention that those soldiers don't know what the second round of assessment is like.
Of course, Li Xinchen is also doing this to simulate their ability to react to unexpected situations, after all, what danger they really encounter, no one knows what kind of situation they may crash into next, and it is not a good thing to keep their spare strength at any time. Many of the soldiers eliminated in the second round just now have been running ahead in the first round.
Xiao Shilian nodded, which can be regarded as approving Li Xinchen's selection method. He didn't look at the busy figures in the school field anymore, but slowly turned to look east, and now he was almost completely prepared, but he didn't know how the Yangzhou assassin planned to entertain these not very friendly guests?
And Li Xinchen looked at a figure on the shooting range with interest. It was a young man who was not good-looking, perhaps because he had used too much force when he was running just now, and the few arrows he shot at first were only worthy of touching the scarecrow, but he quickly adjusted his breathing, and one arrow after another accurately hit the scarecrow everywhere.
Sensing Li Xinchen's interest, Xiao Shilian smiled and ordered: "Go, call that kid over." ”
The footsteps were hurried, and the young man who looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old strode up to Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian, stretched out his sleeve and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and arched his hand as standard: "Subordinates see joining the army and military advisors." ”
Xiao Shilian smiled slightly when he heard the word "military advisor", obviously quite satisfied with this title. Li Xinchen's identity is still a guest of the Xiao family, but everyone knows that he is actually a member of the Xiao family's staff, so it is indeed understandable for these Xiao family guards to call him a "military advisor", and it is even very appropriate.
However, hearing this title, Li Xinchen's heart was mixed. He will never forget that the disaster of the entire village is inextricably linked to the guy who was called "Strategist" by the bandits. But now, the past has dissipated like smoke, Li Xinchen can't keep lingering in the shadows of the past, he has to raise his head and move forward while remembering his hatred.
"Let them change their names." Xiao Shilian also realized something and hurriedly said.
Li Xinchen waved his hand: "This is also very good." ”
"But ······" Xiao Shilian frowned, and finally sighed, "That's it, you can do whatever you want!" ”
Li Xinchen turned to look at the young boy who had been standing straight in front of him: "How old are you?" ”
"Back to the military division, my subordinates are twenty years old this year!"
Xiao Shilian burst out laughing, he and Li Xinchen are only twenty crowned this year, this kid is much younger than the two of them, and he doesn't believe it when he says that he killed Xiao Shilian at the age of twenty.
"Its ······ In fact, the subordinate is eighteen this year. The boy hurriedly changed his tune.
Li Xinchen shook his head, in this era, age is generally said to be imaginary, and this kid must be the same, so he is sixteen or seventeen at most. Perhaps in peacetime, they were just children at such an age, but in the troubled times, they were familiar with war and killing early on.
This is the sadness of the whole era, at least the current Li Xinchen can only get used to and adapt, and is powerless to change.
Li Xinchen smiled slightly: "Boy, why did you shoot the first few arrows erratically, but then stabilized?" ”
Xiao Shilian also turned his head, normal people generally perform worse because of impatience or decadence after several consecutive failures, or even give up directly. This kid is young and can stabilize his mind, but he has something brilliant.
