Chapter 49: No Jokes
In the slightly dimly lit room, Zhu Ping leaned back in his chair, slightly pressed his five fingers, and hid his cheeks with one hand, and the upper half of his face was hidden in the shadows.
Only a pair of sparkling eyes were revealed, and the contours of his handsome face were barely recognizable.
At the foot of the long table, there were more than thirty men of all ages, both strong and thin, but none of them could hide their iron and blood aura that was different from ordinary people.
Veterans of a hundred battles are different from ordinary people, they crawl out of the mountain of corpses and blood, and their eyes and postures will express a sense of indifference to life.
Seeing too much, killing too much, it's inevitable.
Orlanton experiences a beast tide every ten years, and these veterans are first killed from the beast tide, and some become mercenaries, killing people for money, and participating in various battles.
Some become extraordinary hunters, others become killers, struggling with countless dangers, and their hands are inevitably stained with the blood of their kind.
These people look normal, but in fact they are extremely rebellious in their hearts.
To tame the beasts, you have to be stronger than them...... Zhu Ping's sharp gaze swept over the veterans present, and no one flinched.
He lowered his voice and asked, "How many of them passed the questionnaire I just took them to?" ”
Nina held a stack of papers in both hands, placed it in front of Zhu Ping, and said respectfully: "Master, this is the result of the questionnaire, and a total of twelve people have passed." ”
"Twelve...... Not bad. Zhu Ping maintained his posture unchanged, glanced at the paper like a dragonfly, and then retracted his gaze and looked at the veterans:
"Smith, Cole...... The twelve of you passed, and the rest could leave. ”
The voice was full of irresistible majesty, and I don't know if it was pretended, or if it came true after a long time.
The momentum of the superior does not seem to be fake
Seeing that Zhu Ping wanted to drive away all those who did not pass these "strange questions", some veterans with rough personalities immediately showed unhappy and anxious looks.
In the face of the aristocracy, they did not dare to be rude.
But interests have to be fought for.
These people had no choice but to bow and ask tactfully: "Lord Hall, you only asked us some questions, and you haven't checked the strength of our people, is it your servant who made a mistake?" ”
He didn't dare to directly scold Zhuping, but put the responsibility on Nina's maid, which is a chat with big people, some conventional rules.
After all, the big people have a good face, and if they touch the dignity of the nobles, there is no good fruit to eat.
"Make no mistake! These questions are the audit criteria for employment, and if you don't meet the standards, you don't pass the ......."
Zhu Ping waved his hand at Nina, motioning for her to lead the rest of the people who did not pass away.
Veterans who succeeded in joining the company were very happy, and veterans who could not join were restless.
Including food and lodging, the basic employment remuneration is 5 silver coins, this kind of favorable conditions is a windfall for veterans who rely on their lives to eat.
No one wants to miss it because of a bunch of weird questions.
In the crowd of veterans who did not pass, another person stepped forward, this person was younger, respectful and arrogant, and said: "Lord Baron Hall, I admire the strength and quality you showed when you rescued the maid before.
But I don't understand your decision.
Isn't the selection of private soldiers based on strength? These few questions do not prove our strength. ”
The young warrior's gaze swept over the old and young present, and said proudly: "Those present, I don't know anyone whose combat power will be stronger than me.
At the same time, I am younger, I can work for you for a longer time, sell more strength, you choose me is the best choice. ”
There are really many people who actively seek the value of exploitation...... Zhu Ping held his cheeks and did not interrupt his "self-recommendation".
By the way, I want to hear if this teenager will shout not to bully the poor boy after he is rejected.
Brave and resourceful, he is neither humble nor arrogant in the face of himself, he speaks in an orderly manner, and his strength is not weak, to be honest, he is really a little moved to turn around for him...... Zhu Ping shook his head.
"Rules are rules, and I have made it clear before that the criteria for selecting officers are those questions on the questionnaire, which have nothing to do with strength and age."
"Why, don't you choose us because you need our strength?" The arrogant teenager had difficulty understanding Zhu Ping's words.
Asking them to be thugs, scolding them and not paying attention to their strength, this sounds like a joke, it's like looking for a beautiful maid, just look good, and the gender can be ignored.
However, Zhu Ping didn't laugh.
"Need your strength? That's right, but it's not a necessity, after all, ......"
Zhu Ping got up, passed by them, stepped through the door of the gloomy storehouse, and appeared in the square before the entrance to the castle.
The body is soaked in the sun, handsome flash.
looked back at everyone: "Your strength is not even as good as mine, what are you talking about protecting me?"
If there is any objection, if you feel that you have the strength, challenge me, win me, prove that you are better than me, and I will not only recoup my previous words, but also double my salary to hire you. ”
It is indeed important to select the strength of officers, but it is not the most important, and strength can be cultivated.
You need to know that nature is hard to change!
Loyalty and character are the most important factors that should be put in the first place.
"If you pass the psychological test, you will pass, and if you don't pass, it will prove that your strength is enough to crush the rules I have set.
You see, I'm very reasonable!
Interested in a challenge? ”
Zhu Ping looked at the young man who was less than twenty years old, still with a little immaturity on his face, and he had become a young man who had been licking blood at the tip of a mercenary for many years.
"Good!" The arrogant boy hesitated for a moment, then decisively agreed.
Even if he worked hard for the nobles for money, he still had a trace of contempt in his heart for these nobles who lived in a privileged environment, thinking that this big man didn't know what it meant to fight.
"Sir Hall, if I hurt you in the next move, I hope you don't blame me." The arrogant boy said this to get to the bottom of it.
He thought he could stop when he was fighting with the weak, but if the opposite Baron Hall was frightened and deliberately hit him in the fist, he could also be injured.
Before, Baron Hall beat the bald manservant at the gate of the castle, and the momentum was quite amazing at first, but after the real fight, he looked at the opponent's weak fists and feet, and knew that it was a fist and embroidered legs.
Although it looks fierce on a person's body, in fact, the bald head can't stand serious injuries at all, if it were him, he is confident that he can cripple the bald head with one blow.
The excitement on the face of the arrogant young man was even stronger, and he opened the bow without turning back, he had great confidence in his own strength, as long as he won against the arrogant nobleman opposite, he would be able to make a name for himself.
Boy, you're confident...... The corners of Zhu Ping's mouth were slightly hooked, enjoying the pleasure of being a villain, and said, "You can go!" ”
"Sir Sir, offended!" The arrogant young man bowed his head slightly, his body rushed forward, and every foot he stepped on the ground made an explosion, and the momentum was like a tiger.
In the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of Zhu Ping, and his confident and powerful power was enough to frighten the baron with his fists and legs, and he won without a fight.
At this moment, Zhu Ping ignored it as if he hadn't seen it, as if he was disdainful of him.
The young man who burst out with the power of "reckless" had a sense of anger in his heart, and the punch that he had decided to hit in the air changed his position and threw it towards the other party's face.
He doesn't need to hit the other party, he just needs to make the punch stop at the last moment, scare a little, and let the other party know what real strength is.
As for scaring the nobles, making the nobles fear the bad consequences of losing their decency...... The arrogant boy couldn't think so far.
Just as he was about to touch his opponent with his fist, the young man's eyes flashed, and the enemy in front of him, who had been sluggish, disappeared!
Baron Hall is gone!
Magic?
No! It was Zhu Ping's speed that was too fast, causing his optic nerve not only to not catch up with Zhu Ping's movements for a while, but also because Zhu Ping was stuck in the dead corner of his vision, which made him tired to deal with it......
This was completely unexpected by the young man, but before he could change his moves, a whip leg suddenly ushered in his lower back, which didn't matter at all for him who had been fighting all year round.
He felt like he could still fight.
However, it was this inconsequential blow that caused his body to leap forward with an unbalanced center of gravity, spun in mid-air, and fell into the flowers.
"Next!"
Zhu Ping's voice came from behind him.
At the same time, there are countless sought-after voices sounding.
"Lord Sir is very skilled."
"This kick has the power to subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger!"
"Haha...... Just now, that kid thought he was so powerful! One kick and it fell! ”
“……”
The embarrassed young man who fell into the flowers with his face heard the mocking voice behind him, and a sense of anger filled his heart, and he struggled to get up, wanting to continue the challenge, and roared: "I made a mistake just now, let's do it again, continue!" ”
Zhu Ping ignored him.
"Come again! Fight again. The teenager, who felt he was being ignored, yelled and wanted to move forward.
As a result, they were surrounded by a group of veterans who had joined the group, as if they were about to be beaten if they disagreed.
"You've lost! Children have to learn to afford to lose. When Zhu Ping said this, he was actually earnest.
It's just that when I hear the other party's heart, it becomes a cynicism.
The arrogant boy felt a strong humiliation, and with extreme depression on his face, he retreated to the crowd that had not passed, and said no more.
Zhu Ping saw the arrogant young man's humiliated little eyes, the corners of his mouth hooked, and sighed in his heart:
'Zhao Lao's psychological questionnaire is still very useful!
The credibility of the obedience screening of the psychological state of the veteran is quite high.
This little kid is an example of this.
These little eyes, it's really interesting to watch, and I finally know why so many people like to be villains. ’
On the other hand, the twelve lucky veterans who were admitted to see that their future boss was so strong were impressed by his personality charm and strength.
Whether it exists on the surface or in the heart, it represents the complete success of Zhu Ping's Liwei action.
Fighters buy with money, they can only buy oral mouth, and they can never buy convincing, and when it comes to dealing with people who eat with their fists, in the end, they still have to look at their fists.
As for ideological construction, we will wait until after enlisting in the army to make a detailed plan.
The veterans looked at Zhu Ping with more and more enthusiasm, which made him a little embarrassed for a while, because on the faces of these veterans, he saw the figure of the old craftsman.
Whoever touches my little hand will cut it off...... Zhu Ping thought so in his heart.
Nina left with the dejected "failed veterans" and encouraged them to stand again next year, so Zhu Ping and the twelve people were left here.
These veterans had a little hesitation on their faces, as if they had something to say, but they didn't dare to say it in their hearts, just like the slings who had a crush on the school girl and didn't dare to express it.
If there is anything you dare not confess, you will be rejected if it is a big deal! What if it succeeds? How good is it to be a spare tire...... Zhu Ping interrupted his divergent thinking and asked:
"What's wrong? If there is any problem, say it directly, everyone is a gentleman and speak hard, I am the most disciplined person, and I will not be angry with you for no reason if I say the wrong thing. ”
