Huang Degong's shout was very sudden and extremely loud, which frightened everyone, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that he had held this stubborn stone in his arms.

Ji Qingwen was overjoyed when he saw this, temporarily forgot the depression just now, and praised: "Okay, you are Huang Degong, you really have some real skills!" Come, why don't you move the stone over and have a look. ”

Huang Degong agreed, carried the stone and walked towards Ji Qingwen, until he walked to him, he suddenly let go of a hand, scratched his scalp, and asked, "Owner, where do you say this stone is good?" ”

Ji Qingwen saw that Huang Degong was holding the stone with one hand, lest he lose his strength for a while, let the stone fall and break his foot, so he hurriedly pointed forward and said, "Oh, you move the stone in front of the bookcase, don't hit anyone!" ”

Huang Degong reacted at this time, and found that he was only holding this stubborn stone with one hand, and said with a smile: "Owner, this stone doesn't seem to be as heavy as I imagined." Believe it or not! ”

I saw Huang Degong holding the bottom of the stone with both hands, and suddenly used enough strength to throw the stone into the sky, and then stretched out his right hand straight up, holding the stone hanging in the air steadily, and then took a relaxed and steady step, slowly walked to the front of the bookcase, and then gently put the stone on the ground.

The onlookers originally saw that Huang Degong had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, big shoulders and a round waist, and knew that he must be strong, but they didn't expect his strength to be so great - this stone must weigh more than 100 pounds, and in his hand it was like a rattan ball played by a child.

Just when everyone was stunned in surprise, they heard Chen Wenzhao add fuel to the fire and said: "Everyone is optimistic, this surnamed Huang also carries a head on two shoulders, and you are not missing arms and legs than him, so it is better to come and try." If you succeed, the hundred taels of silver for the white flowers will be yours; If it doesn't work, it's just a shame. ”

After he shouted like this, someone really stepped forward and said, "I'm coming!" ”

So saying, he walked towards the boulder.

Chen Wenzhao said: "Don't be busy, you take off your shirt first, and then move the stones." ”

The man said, "Now in this winter, don't you freeze and get cold when you take off your clothes?" ”

Chen Wenzhao said with a smile: "You are recruited as the 'Qi Family Army', and when you go north to fight, the weather is ten times colder than now, and you can't stand this cold, what kind of battle are you fighting?" ”

Ji Qingwen said: "General Chen, don't worry about this, I am also a weaving admiral, in case I want to fight north, I dare not say anything else, I must have enough cotton clothes to protect my brothers from the cold, don't worry......"

Chen Wenzhao didn't wait for Ji Qingwen to finish speaking, he turned his face, looked at Ji Qingwen with cold eyes, and said, "Lord Ji, you forgot only a few days ago?" I am solely responsible for recruitment, so don't break your promise. ”

When Ji Qingwen heard this, he quickly shut up, smiled awkwardly, and made a gesture of "you please, you please", but scolded several "mmp" in his heart......

Since even Ji Qingwen had no opinion, the young man who came to apply for the recruitment was helpless, so he had to take off his shirt, walked in front of the stone, and finally picked up the stubborn stone, walked around with difficulty, returned to the same place, and quickly threw the stone on the ground.

I don't know if he was frozen, tired, or excited, his face was already swollen and red, and he said excitedly: "Uncle Chen, I passed it, right?" ”

Chen Wenzhao deliberately stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's passed, you put on your clothes quickly, be careful of catching a cold." Later, I will register my name and life history with this Mr. Li Yan, and it will be fine. ”

After that, Chen Wenzhao turned his head to the onlookers and said, "Everyone has seen it, right?" What's so hard about that? Why don't you all come and try it out? I have said in advance, only 200 people will be accepted today, and I will not accept them when the number of people is full! ”

As soon as he said this, everyone became anxious, and rushed to take off their shirts and move the unfortunate stone.

Ji Qingwen was naturally very happy when he saw that everyone was enthusiastically signing up.

But when Chen Wenzhao saw this chaotic scene, he immediately started a fire and scolded loudly: "What are you messing with? Do you still look like a soldier? I've lined up here and come up one by one. If anyone dares to cut in line, I'll knock him out immediately! ”

was reprimanded by Chen Wenzhao like this, and everyone was really obedient, and gradually lined up in a neat line.

In this way, this stone, which was pulled out of the mud by Huang Degong, was picked up and put down by hundreds of people, becoming an enemy in the eyes of some people and a favor in the hearts of some people.

In this way, by noon, Chen Wenzhao had already recruited two hundred.

Ji Qingwen saw that these soldiers recruited by Chen Wenzhao were all about twenty years old, all of them were sturdy and thick, with big shoulders and round waists, even if they had not been trained, they were already quite imposing when they stood in a few rows, as if they were already quite effective troops.

Unexpectedly, Chen Wenzhao walked around these people, pointed out the six people, and said, "You guys, please go home." ”

Those few people were stunned when they heard this, and then asked rhetorically: "Uncle Chen, I respect you as a man, and your words will definitely count." But the rules are set by you, haven't we already picked up the stones? Why don't you accept us? ”

Chen Wenzhao said coldly: "I have just said that all those who have been disposed of by the government will not be accepted, please leave by yourself." But I remember a few of you clearly, when I took off my clothes just now, I clearly saw gold letters on your arms, and it was the one who had committed a crime, so I pointed out a few of you. ”

Among the six people, five of them were silent when they heard Chen Wenzhao's words, and only one of them said: "Uncle Chen, it is true that I have been punished by the government. But it was because the government was bullying people that I couldn't look past it, so I quarreled with them and was convicted arbitrarily. Many villagers know about this matter......"

Ji Qingwen saw that this person's face was very heroic, so he also came up and persuaded: "General Chen, it seems that your brother is also a righteous man, I think it is better to accept him, right?" ”

Chen Wenzhao said categorically: "No! In the army, as long as you can abide by discipline, you don't need to fight for righteousness. What's more, this brother dared to confront the government, and he refused to admit that he had been disposed of, and he would argue with the chief, as long as he violated one of these three articles, the Qi family army would not accept him, not to mention that he had committed all three at once. ”

The man heard Chen Wenzhao put up a bunch of reasons, knew that he couldn't argue, but he was also very happy, and he was about to leave with a calm face, but he didn't take a few steps, and suddenly turned around and said: "In Xia Xu Daoqing, he is still a nobody, but today's humiliation will be rewarded in the future!" ”

With that, he strode out of everyone's field of vision.

The other five were picked out by Chen Wenzhao, and naturally they had nothing to say, so they had to leave in a huff.

Seeing this, Ji Qingwen breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, today's work is also smooth, although it did not receive enough two hundred people, but the soldiers are not expensive, and it is not bad to be able to recruit these one hundred and ninety-four elite soldiers." ”

When Chen Wenzhao heard this, he said, "Lord Ji is slow. ”

As he spoke, he slowly walked to the front of the crowd, stretched out his hand and pointed out six people one by one, and asked them, "How many of you, would you like to join our army?" ”

These people were originally unable to lift the stone, so they were brushed down, and when they heard Chen Wenzhao's words, they were naturally overjoyed and nodded their heads.

Seeing this, Ji Qingwen felt strange again, and asked: "General Chen, I listened to your words just now, and I know that you are a person with extremely strict military law, these people didn't lift a stone just now, why do you want to admit them now?" ”

Chen Wenzhao replied: "I have noticed these people just now, they failed to move the stones, mainly because of their lack of arm strength, and they are still stable under the plate. Lord Ji, you see these people standing here, impartial, unshaking, and in the future, they will train diligently and act as musketeers, there is no better one. ”

Ji Qingwen had promised to hand over all the recruitment matters to Chen Wenzhao, and seeing that the people he pointed out looked heroic except that their arm strength might be slightly weaker, so they didn't object.

However, Huang Degong was not convinced, and said: "General Chen's words are not right, strength is innate, no matter how much you train, it's useless, right?" ”
