The third level, the intelligence test, accounts for 200 points, and each candidate is interviewed individually in a closed room, and Xu Qing scores it. There are a total of nine questions in the intelligence test, the first question introduces yourself, the second question answers why you joined the army, the third question introduces what you have seen, heard and felt since joining the army, and the fourth question is to make a campaign manifesto, which tests language ability. The fifth and sixth questions are the two intelligence questions in the interview with Yang Siqi. Question 7, there are 60 copper coins stacked into a pillar, with the fewest steps, the shortest time to divide it into three pillars of the same height, not to count the copper coins, the eighth question proves that the frog does not understand human language. The ninth question 1 plus 2 plus 3 plus 4 plus 5 is added until 5000 is equal to how much, the time is a quarter of an hour, the last five questions are tested in the large classroom of the women's barracks, all candidates answer the questions at the same time, and Xu Qing and the commanders of the first and second companies are the chief examiners.

Seven people were eliminated at this level, and eight candidates were obtained.

The fourth level, talent show, accounting for 100 points, music, dance, calligraphy, painting, martial arts, archery and other talents can be displayed, scored by Xu Qing, and the person with the highest score is the commander of the third company of the women's barracks.

Yang Ziyan's personal maid Ling'er performed a dance, scored 470 points, and unfortunately lost Zhao Mengchen, who scored 500 points. Zhao Mengchen is performing martial arts. Zhao Mengchen scored first in all tests, his appearance is not inferior to Yang Ziyan, and his martial arts are not inferior to Yang Ziyan, he is simply the reincarnation of Mulan, and the reincarnation of Fan Lihua. Xu Qing looked at Zhao Mengchen, his eyes shining with brilliance. She is like a snow lotus on a high mountain, pure and flawless, indisputable with the world, and her beautiful and refined temperament is pleasing to the eye.

Xu Qing was very curious about Zhao Mengchen, and hurriedly transferred Zhao Mengchen's file, which said that her father's ancestral home was Lanzhou, a businessman, and her mother was also from Lanzhou, the daughter of a county-level petty official. I don't see anything wrong with my family.

Xu Qing appointed Zhao Mengchen as the commander of the third company and took office on the same day. Xu Qing was very happy to find a talent, Zhao Mengchen. A lone branch is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom is spring, his subordinates are full of talents, beautiful women gather, I really don't know how many wooden fish he broke in his previous life, only to cultivate such a good blessing.

Since then, Xu Qing's work focus has shifted to the newly established Second Dart Division and the women's barracks, especially the women's barracks, the quality of female soldiers is uneven, and martial arts masters, rookies and people who don't understand martial arts are mixed together, and it is very difficult to teach. In line with the principle of teaching students according to their aptitude, Xu Qing made a large-scale adjustment of the personnel of the three companies of the women's barracks, concentrating female soldiers with good martial arts skills in the first company, female soldiers with average martial arts in the second company, and female soldiers who did not know martial arts in the third company.

In addition to participating in the creation and management of the Dart Division Regiment, which is actually a special operations regiment, and the Women's Bodyguard Battalion, which is actually a women's barracks, Xu Qing also participated in teaching. All the soldiers and officers were Xu Qing's students, and the most popular classes for all of them, especially female soldiers, were Xu Qing's lectures on "Physical Training Method", "New Reconnaissance Method", "Decapitation Operation", "Point Warfare", "Psychological Warfare", "Surgical Strike", "Guerrilla Warfare", "Survival in the Wild", "Battlefield Cryptography", "Battlefield Logistics Support", "War Mobilization", "Counter-Attack and Protection of Political Leaders", including almost all the courses taught by Xu Qing. Xu Qing's knowledge goes far beyond the scope of the current era, and is very attractive to all officers and soldiers, plus he is good at explaining profound truths in simple and understandable words, and he does not pay attention to classroom discipline, and the classroom atmosphere is relaxed and lively, and students and teachers communicate freely like friends.

Xu Qing felt that Zhao Mengchen's name was quite strange, and after a few days of getting acquainted with Zhao Mengchen, he gossiped with Zhao Mengchen and took the opportunity to ask her what the meaning of her name was. Zhao Mengchen explained that her name was taken by his father, "dream" means to have a dream, and "dust" comes from the Taoist ancestor Lao Tzu's famous book "Tao Te Ching" in a sentence "with its light, with its dust", which means not to be sharp, the light should be soft, to be mixed with dust, pearls and dust will not be ground and pharmaceutical, in order to live well and live a long time.

In the later period of Tang Gaozong, Wu Zetian took advantage of Gaozong's headache and eye disease, first assisted, and then simply replaced Tang Gaozong Li Zhi to deal with the government and empty Li Zhi's power. After killing Li Zhiyuan, Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, Wu Zetian was not satisfied, and killed the rest of Li Zhi's favored concubines one by one. After Li Zhi's death, in order to ascend the throne and claim the throne, Wu Zetian removed all obstacles that prevented him from claiming the throne and keeping the throne, appointed cool officials, encouraged whistleblowers, abolished the system that the death penalty had been implemented since Tang Taizong could only be carried out after three reviews, sentenced criminals to death and immediately carried out the death penalty without review, and killed tens of thousands of people, including Li Tang royal family relatives and loyal ministers and good generals who supported Li Tang Dynasty and opposed Wu Zetian's seizure of Li Tang Jiangshan, the vast majority of which were cool officials who deliberately implicated innocent people in order to make merits. used cruel punishment to force the person who was found guilty by the cool officials to confess his guilt, created countless unjust souls, and was a female demon who killed people without a knife. In the Tang Dynasty, due to the serious political struggle that lasted for decades provoked by Wu Zetian for his own selfishness, the strength of the Tang Dynasty declined sharply, and the Western Turks, Eastern Turks, Khitans, and Silla on the Korean Peninsula rebelled one after another, and lost control over the Western Regions and the Eastern Turkic areas in the north, the Khitan areas in the northeast, and the Korean Peninsula that were fought hard in the early and middle Tang Taizong and Tang Gaozong dynasties. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Western Regions were conquered from Yumen Pass to the west of the Green Ridge, as far as the border of Persia (now Iran), including the countries of Central Asia, all of Afghanistan, and part of Pakistan, all of which were included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

As a soldier, Xu Qing deplored Wu Zetian's loss of a large area of land that countless Tang Dynasty soldiers exchanged for blood, so Xu Qing hated Wu Zetian very much, and turned a blind eye to her vigorous implementation of the imperial examination system and the not-so-small credit of changing the concept of the gate lord and aristocracy since the Wei and Jin dynasties, thinking that she did it out of selfishness and cultivating forces loyal to her. Xu Qing wants to make contributions in the Tang Dynasty, if the military merits are too great, causing Wu Zetian's suspicion, or the jealousy of a narrow-minded traitor who only cares about personal interests and ignores the interests of the country, in the case of no rule of law in troubled times, it is likely that he will not be able to save his life, if Xu Qing only wants to be an ordinary farmer, he does not have to worry about being killed by Wu Zetian or a traitor. Xu Qing's incorporation of the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty was to take precautions, prevent troubles before they happen, and establish a force that could not only allow him to defend the territory, make meritorious contributions, but also protect his descendants.

Xu Qing has more than 10,000 direct subordinates, including more than 20,000 subordinates in Fanyang and Liaodong. Maybe Zhao Mengchen's father is a dusty gem, but no one has found it. can give birth to such a beautiful and moving daughter, and can cultivate such a daughter who is all-round in civil and military affairs, Xu Qing felt that Zhao Mengchen's father was unusual and decided to visit him.

At the end of October, Xu Qing, under the protection of more than 30 personal soldiers, paid a visit to Zhao Mengchen's father, Zhao Tuozhi, who worked as a shopkeeper in a store under the name of Lanzhou Shuguang Group. Zhao Tuozhi is very handsome, his mother is very beautiful, and they all look like they are only thirty years old, much younger than their actual age. Xu Qing first praised Zhao Mengchen's performance, and then asked Zhao Mengchen about his character, who he learned martial arts from, what interesting things he did when he was a child, what interests and hobbies she had, what dreams she had, she was so good, why she was not married at the age of eighteen. Finally, I asked him why he let his daughter be a female dart master.

Zhao Tuozhi answered one by one, Zhao Mengchen's personality is outgoing, he is uneven, he is a little wild, he loves to fight with boys since he was a child, and Zhao Mengchen's martial arts are taught by him; Zhao Mengchen was even more naughty than boys when he was a child, going down to the river to catch fish, going up to the tree to pound birds' nests, shooting birds with homemade bows and arrows, shooting birds with slingshots, disguising themselves as men to go to school in the school, and doing everything; Her hobby is martial arts, she is proficient in all eighteen weapons, and she doesn't know anything about needlework; The dream is to be a heroine, punish evil and promote good, eliminate violence and peace; Why is she so good, she hasn't married at the age of eighteen because she is too wild, she often fights with ruffians and hooligans, and her reputation spreads, no one in Lanzhou dares to marry her, even if she dares to marry her, her father-in-law and mother-in-law don't dare to ask for such a wild daughter-in-law; Zhao Mengchen has three aspirations, to be a female general, to be a heroine, and to be a female dart master. As a female general, Zhao Tuozhi had no one in the court, and he couldn't let his daughter join the army. There are female soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, but the number is very small, Zhao Mengchen's ambition is not to be a female soldier, but to be a female general, unless it is a general, or a powerful person in the court to help, otherwise Zhao Mengchen cannot be a female general, as a female hero, wandering aimlessly everywhere, eliminating violence and peace, in addition to getting psychological pleasure, there will be no gain in essence, maybe there will be many enemies. As a businessman, Zhao Tuozhi resolutely opposes his daughter becoming a heroine. When he heard that the women's bodyguard camp of Shuguang Group was established, Zhao Mengchen signed up to participate, Zhao Tuozhi sold his shop at the behest of his daughter, joined Xu Qing's newly opened store in Lanzhou, and became a shopkeeper (store manager), so Zhao Mengchen became a family member of Shuguang Group employees and was eligible to sign up for the women's bodyguard camp.

In this way, it seems that Zhao Mengchen is still very different from Mulan, who can weave cloth and serve in the army on behalf of his father, and Mulan is still relatively quiet. Zhao Mengchen is more similar to the more wild Mu Guiying.

In order to confirm that Zhao Tuozhi was telling the truth, Zhao Mengchen's martial arts were taught by Zhao Tuozhi, and Xu Qing offered to learn martial arts with Zhao Tuozhi. Xu Qing is not Zhao Tuozhi's opponent, Zhao Tuozhi's light skills are extremely high, Xu Qing can't touch the corners of his clothes at all, Zhao Tuozhi's internal strength is extremely deep, and he has the power to open the stele and crack the stone, which is far beyond Xu Qing's comparison. Because Xu Qing was Zhao Mengchen's leader, Zhao Tuozhi did not do his best, and gave Xu Qing dozens of moves, and defeated Xu Qing in about the hundredth move.

It seems that Zhao Tuozhi's martial arts are not under the "too crazy" Cui Zhenhai, and he is a martial arts master hidden in the folk. Next, Xu Qing talked about Zhao Mengchen's name, said that this name was good, and asked Zhao Tuozhi how he thought of this name in the first place.

So Zhao Tuozhi talked to Xu Qing about the "Tao Te Ching", talked about the two founders of Taoism, Laozi and Zhuangzi, and then talked about the martial arts of various schools in the world, and then talked about what he saw and heard from Jiangnan to Mobei and then to the Western Regions. Zhao Tuozhi is very knowledgeable, has been in business for many years, walks the rivers and lakes, has a wide range of knowledge, and is very eloquent, is a very ideal strategist, Xu Qing is very happy to unintentionally dig up a treasure, immediately recruited Zhao Tuozhi, and hired Zhao Tuozhi as the chief martial arts instructor of the dart division group with a large amount of money, and decided to assess him for a period of time, after confirming his loyalty and ability, and then entrust him with the important responsibility of the chief of staff of the dart division group. Zhao Mengchen's father is a businessman and a person in the rivers and lakes, not a person in the court, her identity can be determined, she is not a spy in the imperial court to penetrate the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty, so you can trust her father and daughter in the future.

For the sake of prudence, Xu Qing sent someone to quietly verify the identities of Zhao Mengchen's mother, grandparents, and maternal grandparents, and there was no problem.
