The House of Martial Flames.

Qi Xuan and Jiang Shipeng are reporting to Wu Yanzhi on the itinerary to Shaozhou.

He listened to it, Shaozhou is in Lingnan. From here to Shaozhou, there are about more than 1,600 miles, according to three post stations every day, ninety miles of road, if you want to go smoothly, it will take seventeen or eighteen days!

In fact, it is necessary to climb over the Great Yu Mountain, and it is estimated that it will take 212 days!

However, this is not the main problem, Qi Xuan said: "Wu Gong! I heard that the copper-producing land in Nashao Prefecture is mostly controlled by the local noble families Mai, Wei, and Feng.

Even the current assassin Zheng Tiande was also suppressed by them and did nothing. I think that it will be a bit laborious to start a business in the local area smoothly.

Moreover, the people of the place are fierce and uncivilized; When they disagreed, they turned to each other with knives and guns. It is recommended that you bring a few more retinues! ”

"Yes, Wu Gong! Originally, the imperial court did not say that Wu Gong had to go there. Therefore, local officials may not pay much attention, even if they are still defending, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be perfect.

It is better to recruit twenty or thirty strong people to accompany them in the name of the envoy for the time being, and they will be regarded as the envoys, thinking that they are guards! Jiang Shipeng also persuaded.

"Good! Just recruit thirty people, recruit too much, and the imperial court is afraid that there will be opinions. These people will follow me on an errand abroad, and when they return to Beijing next year, if they can't make arrangements, they will be my personal guards.

Therefore, personnel should be strictly selected and trained! I went to the state regiment training camp and found a few officers to train. Otherwise, a rabble is not as good as the indigenous armed forces of other people! ”

"Yes! The lowly post will be issued immediately! Qi Xuan said.

……

Seven days later, in the morning.

Jiang Shibian and Qi Xuan brought the list, and Wu Yan saw that there were more than 500 people.

Wu Yan looked at it, there are still a lot of people who want to be officials for themselves, hey, is the salary he gives too high?

The salary he offered was compared to that of an ordinary envoy, and it was basically a miscellaneous sum of a dozen dollars, and there were rations for two people; This kind of treatment is indeed very good.

is the outflow of the nine rank officials of the various divisions in the capital, and it is just this treatment; Of course, there must be a certain subsidy for them to go out. In addition, these jobs are not fixed, and some people are not very willing to do them.

However, because Wu Yanzhi said it first, he could be his personal guard in the future, which was equivalent to a long-term job, so they naturally came to apply one after another.

"Wu Gong, how can so many people be selected?" Jiang Shipeng asked.

Wu Yanzhi smiled slightly: "This is easy to do!" Just try to see if they are hard-working, brave and loyal! ”

"May I ask how Wu Gong tried the Fa?"

"I've thought about it, I'll interview first, and then I'll try two more levels, and those who obey orders will be required, even if there are a few more, I'm not afraid!"

"Good!" However, Jiang Shipeng and Qi Xuan were more puzzled, and they didn't know how Wu Yanzhi tested these two levels!

Seeing that the two of them were very puzzled, Wu Yan said: "You guys are ...... do it"

……

Three days later, in the morning, at the foot of the back mountain in Leping County.

After all, hundreds of people lined up neatly on top of the pile of rubble, waiting for Wu Yanzhi's test.

Wu Yanzhi looked at the information filled in by everyone and met one by one.

According to Wu Yanzhi's idea, this selection of people is the first choice of simple and unpretentious people, and those idle people don't want one, as long as farmers and miners.

This can be seen in the calluses on their hands!

There is also a look at the face and questioning, and choose a wooden and honest person as much as possible. Only these people can be faithful to their masters, because they are not servants and have the possibility of betraying their masters.

As a result, there were more than 500 people, and only about 70 people passed the interview.

"The chosen person has entered the next test, and there is no one who is allowed to be selected, please go back, and wait for the next opportunity!" The judge said in unison.

Of course, those who were not selected were very disappointed, and those who were selected, although they were very happy, but when they looked around, the number of people was doubled, and they didn't know how to test next, and they were very puzzled in their hearts.

Of course, everyone is eager to give it a try, and if you are accepted, it is equivalent to having a permanent job.

Following Wu Jungong, he will definitely be able to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life, this is almost the idea of every one of them.

The test place over there was downwind, it was blocked by a curtain, and they couldn't see it. Just when everyone was speculating, they suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums and remembered, only to hear Qi Xuan say loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's good that you have passed the preliminary examination of Wujun Gong! However, due to the limited number of people, only thirty people can be planned, and you have seventy-six people here.

Therefore, there will be two rounds of exams for you, and only those who pass the exams will be eligible to participate in the training. Let's start the first level of the test! Jiang Shipeng said loudly.

Going to the soup?

Just when everyone was puzzled, the big curtain was opened, but they saw that a big pool had been dug up, but it was full of sewage and feces, but the pool was five feet long!

Behind the pool, there was a dense patch of dead grass and tree stumps!

When everyone looked at it, they immediately understood more than half of it!

"It seems that this Wujun Gong's guard is not good, doesn't this want us to pass through this dung pit?" There is humanity.

"Hey! Just take a trip, what are you afraid of? ”

"Then there's still a fire behind you, I'm afraid you're going to have to go through the fire bushes, right? I'm waiting for a life and death certificate, I'm afraid I won't be able to draw it if I die, you go, I'll go back! "Some people have already retreated.

Qi Xuan saw that some people were already dirty and were no longer preparing for the exam, but the test set by the martial arts ambassador was really effective!

So he said to Jiang Shipeng: "You can start!" ”

I saw that Jiang Shipeng said: "Let me talk about the rules, this is to swim through this nine-foot-deep dung pit, and after climbing ashore, the grass over there will be ignited, and you must quickly surpass the fire and enter the second level!" ”

Yes? Instead of walking over, swimming through a nine-foot-deep dung pit, isn't the top of the head and the whole body going to be soiled? This......

"Let's go! There is a time limit of two quarters of an hour, and those who don't go down will be eliminated! A servant shouted!

Most of the men in the south naturally know how to water, and as soon as the words fell, someone had already jumped down!

Qi Xuan looked at it and was very satisfied, can this little bit of dung water be compared with the life-and-death struggle on the battlefield? If you are even afraid of this, can you still save your master?

If someone jumps first, someone will naturally follow! Almost all of these people were farmers, and many of them were not too afraid of the dung. After all, the temptation of being the guard of the Duke of Wu is not small!

The fire over there has been lit.

The time soon came, and about sixty people had passed the first dung puddle, ran blindly in the fire, and were rescued after being smoked, and there were more than ten people! In the end, there were 52 people who successfully passed the first level.

In fact, as long as you cover your mouth and nose with clothes that are wet with feces, bend over, don't be in a hurry, and look in the right direction, it will be easy to pass.

……

"What's the second level?" They were full of stench and asked each other! But I don't know!

After a while, they were led to a large, makeshift house, where they could hear the barking of dogs!

Then someone opened the door and said, "Go in and see, and if there are those who are willing to pass, go in directly, one by one!" ”

The four people in front of them were curious, and they hurriedly ran inside with a body of dung. Entering the dark room, and then a few dim lights, it took a while to see that there were actually four vicious big dogs inside!.

"Such a big dog? It's so vicious, isn't it a wild wolf caught somewhere? I've been afraid of dogs since I was a child! Who can beat these four dogs? "There is humanity.

"Get out of the way, Lao Tzu! Afraid of a ball, isn't it just a few dead dogs? ”

A big man in the back pushed the four of them away, jumped on the fence in one step, and rushed in! The big dogs pounced in an instant......

……

In the end, there were less than 40 people who passed the second level, and there were exactly 38 people. Not everyone has the ability to deal with the four vicious dogs, this level is the most test of ability and courage!

Almost everyone is covered in bruises. In fact, the dog is controlled by the owner and will not really kill them! Otherwise, how many people can fight four big dogs with their bare hands?

This level is a test of courage that is not afraid of death.

Wu Yanzhi was very satisfied, and said to Qi Xuan: "These few people are not afraid!" Anyway, I'll be my escort when I go back next year! ”

Qi Xuan looked at these thirty-eight people, nodded and said: "I am Judge Qi, this is Secretary Jiang, from today onwards, you will start fifteen days of devil training, and those who do not pass the grades may also go home!" ”
