Chapter 338: Two Means
Liu Hao asked when he left the house, "Where do I have to go to get tested next?"
Dahan replied to him: "Tomorrow morning, come to the inner hall of the city lord's mansion and accept the city lord's personal assessment, and you will have nothing to do today." ”
Liu Hao didn't expect that he had been running for most of the day, and it only took more than ten minutes to come here, and it was over, and the back door was too wide.
But it's a good thing to be able to pass, and he has already begun to calculate in his heart, when he becomes a janitarian guard, whether to stand on the side of the city lord or the side of withered gold.
The balance in his heart has actually tilted to the side of the city lord, but he has never seen the city lord, and he doesn't know what kind of person the city lord of Ludao is.
In addition, the city lord could sense that the withered gold was going to rebel, which proved that he was not a simple person, so he decided to wait and see first, and then make plans when the time came.
Out of the City Lord's Mansion, he did not recapture the meat field.
Because he was afraid that the city lord would find out about their relationship, he let him go back to the inn where he had just come to the Fallen King's City to stay.
But this time, he didn't let Liu Hao pay for the house, and with a wave of his hand, he gave the innkeeper a large piece of fresh meat, making him so happy.
Liu Hao stayed at the inn for one night, and early the next morning, he went to the City Lord's Mansion again.
When I came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, there was no longer a long queue like yesterday, on the contrary, there were only a few bustling people, standing at the door, waiting for the City Lord's Mansion to open.
Just when Liu Hao was pondering why the city lord's mansion hadn't opened yet, Cheng Long, who had spoken to him yesterday, came to him.
He greeted him and said, "Hey, little brother, did you pass the test too?"
When Liu Hao saw that it was him, he immediately put on a smiling face, and then said: "Yes, thanks to you, I barely passed it." ”
Cheng Long waved his hand and said: "You people, you just like to be polite, and you have worked hard to get it, so you say that you have earned it by your own efforts, what blessing do you owe to me." ”
Liu Hao was a little speechless by his words, and for a while, he didn't know how to refute it
At this moment, the gate of the City Lord's Mansion creaked open, and then a group of black-clothed guards walked out of the door.
The leader of this group of black-clothed guards is none other than Withered Gold.
After seeing them come out, Kushengjin took the lead and said: "Hello newcomers who have applied for the Praetorian Guard, today is the day when the city lord will personally test you, and I hope you can achieve good results." ”
As soon as his voice fell, many people who knew him struck up a conversation with him, and some people asked him about the content of the test.
From beginning to end, there were only two people who didn't say anything, these two people were Liu Hao and Cheng Long.
Liu Hao doesn't need to talk to him, and he now has to pretend to keep a distance from him according to the requirements of Kushengjin.
However, when he saw Cheng Long beside him, he didn't come forward to talk to him, and asked with a little surprise: "Brother Long, why don't you talk to that withered old man?" Maybe you can still know some inside stories." ”
Cheng Long listened to his words, but he snorted coldly and said: "This withered gold is a despicable villain, although I really want to be a guard, I will definitely not be in the company of this kind of villain, or even please him." ”
As soon as he heard Cheng Long's words, Liu Hao knew that he was a straight, upright character, and didn't like flattery, this kind of person said it was good, and it was not good to say it badly.
The good thing is that there is a righteous qi in the body.
The bad part, of course, is that in ordinary life, you must often suffer.
After chatting with these people who were going to participate in the test for a while, he saw that the time was almost up, so he straightened his clothes and said, "Okay, the time is almost up, the city lord should have finished washing now, you guys line up, follow me in, and enter the inner hall one by one to be tested." ”
With that, he was the first to enter the City Lord's Mansion.
After following him into the City Lord's Mansion, everyone bypassed the courtyard in front of them and came to the door of a room in the inner hall.
After coming to this door, Kushengjin motioned for everyone to start queuing, and he came to the door of the house, knocked on the door and said, "City Lord, I have already brought the people, do you want to start the test now?"
After a few moments, a very magnetic man's voice came from the room and said, "Let's start." ”
After hearing this, Kushengjin immediately turned around, pointed to the first person who had already lined up and said, "You, go in." ”
The first man was a tall man, and a few minutes after entering the house, he walked out dejectedly.
From his expression, Liu Hao had already seen that he had been eliminated.
After the tall man walked out of the house, the second person in line entered the house.
But after a while, the man also came out of the house dejectedly.
Seeing this situation, the people who participated in the test were nervous in their hearts, and they all thought that the two people in front of them were in good health, how could they be eliminated so quickly.
Liu Hao is now lined up behind Cheng Long, and after Cheng Long saw this situation, he turned around nervously and whispered to him: "Little brother, you see that they are all very good, why were they eliminated after such a while?
Liu Hao knew that he was very worried about being eliminated now, and in order to encourage him, he said: "Don't worry, look at your body, and your integrity, you must be okay, believe in yourself!"
As he spoke, he made a cheering gesture.
After Cheng Long got his encouragement, his nervousness seemed to ease a lot, and he said with a smile: "Little brother, you're right, hehe... Hehe. ”
Liu Hao looked at his completely grassroots image, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
After a while, it was Cheng Long's turn, and when Cheng Long was about to enter the room, Liu Hao couldn't help but say, "Brother Long, come on." ”
After hearing his words of encouragement, Cheng Long turned his head and nodded firmly, and then entered the room with righteousness and awe.
Looking at his impassioned appearance, Liu Hao couldn't help it this time, and after Cheng Long entered the house, he snickered.
A few minutes later, Cheng Long suddenly rushed out of the house, and then came to Liu Hao's face, grabbed his shoulder and said, "Little brother, little brother, I passed!"
Saying that, he was still a strong hey silly music.
The strength of this Cheng Longshou was not small, and it made Liu Hao's shoulder hurt for a while, but Liu Hao did not immediately push his hand away, but said with a smile: "That's good, that's good! Now it's my turn, I hope I can pass it too!"
As he spoke, he said, "Your hand is so strong that it hurts me to death." ”
Cheng Long listened to his words, and then realized that he was too excited and used all his strength to pinch Liu Hao's shoulder.
After hearing Liu Hao cry out in pain, he let go of his hand with a face full of apologies.
After letting go of his hand, he said arrogantly: "Little brother, you go in quickly, I'll wait for you outside, if you also pass, I'll be the east, please go eat delicious!"
While the two were talking, Ku Shengjin shouted at Liu Hao: "What are you rubbing on? Go in and test." ”
Hearing the shout of withered gold, Liu Hao didn't delay much and walked quickly towards the house.
When he passed by Kushengjin's side, Kushengjin whispered to him, "You have to pretend to be upright, the city lord likes this." ”
Liu Hao listened to his words, nodded in understanding, and then entered the house.
When he entered the house, Liu Hao saw that the house was not big and there were not many furnishings.
At the same time, he saw that a man was sitting at a table in the room.
I saw this person, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a strong body, although he was wearing a short set of clothes, he looked extraordinarily energetic.
After the man saw Liu Hao, he pointed to a stool next to him and said, "Sit." ”
Hearing this voice, Liu Hao immediately judged that this person was the city lord.
Because when Withered Gold asked if he could start the test, he replied in the room.
After ascertaining the man's identity, he obediently went to the stool and sat down.
When he was seated, the man said, "What is your name, and what are your specialties?"
After Liu Hao quickly said his name, he thought for a while and said, "Specialty? I don't know if a fight counts?"
When the city lord heard him say that his specialty was fighting, he couldn't help but smile and say, "Fighting, I see that although your body is strong, if you like to fight, in our Fallen King City, you can't win a few battles, you shouldn't be from our Fallen King City, right?"
Liu Hao didn't expect that this city lord would recognize his identity just by looking at himself, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart.
While being surprised, he said casually, "How did you know the Dao?"
The city lord picked up a bowl of tea beside him, took a sip, and said, "From the strength of your body, as well as your skin, and your hair. ”
Liu Hao remembered that he had already painted makeup on his face, how could it be seen at once, as for the hair, he also deliberately messed it up, but it was still seen that this city lord was really not simple.
Seeing that his evidence was conclusive, Liu Hao no longer concealed it, nodded and said: "City Lord, I really have good eyesight, I can see through my identity at a glance, since you see that I am not from the fallen royal city, will you still choose me as a guard?"
Seeing him admit his identity, the city lord nodded and said: "Young man, you are very honest and very knowledgeable about current affairs, knowing that at such a time, if you want to hide it, it will only deepen my evil feelings towards you, but even so, I can only regret to inform you that you did not pass." ”
The kick at the door actually failed, and Liu Hao couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart.
In his disappointment, he had already come up with two ways to salvage the situation.
First of all, he made the first move, that is, he stood up at once, and then said: "Lord City, although I am not a member of your Fallen King's City, since I have come to your Fallen King's City and lived there, I am a part of the Fallen King's City, you can't just draw conclusions because of my identity, right?"
The city lord listened to his words, waved his hand and said, "Let's go out, it's useless to talk more, I won't agree." ”
Hearing the words of the city lord, Liu Hao knew that no matter how much he said here, he couldn't change his current decision, so he decided to use the second method.
