Chapter 14: Guard Selection (3)
The selection of the presiding guards was also done by Steward Li, who held a list in his hand, stood in front of the high platform of the martial arts field, and began to shout his names one by one, "Liu Wei!"
Then a young man who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old ran over and said, "Here!"
"Know the rules, go over and test it yourself, and I'll record it for you!"
Liu Wei came to the side of the row of boulders, from left to right, the weight is from light to heavy, the lightest one also has a thousand catties, this is also the minimum standard for selection, generally speaking, in the later stage of the martial artist, the person who reaches the internal organs in the forging stage can lift it, as for the largest weight is a black stone, weighing 10,000 catties, ordinary martial artists, only the peak of the samurai can move, as for lifting it, there is no martial artist strength, it is absolutely impossible.
Liu Wei came to the second boulder, a two-thousand-pound boulder, he patted the boulder, and then took off his shirt, revealing his large muscles in front of everyone.
On the high platform, Zhong Tianlong nodded, "This young man is good, he looks skinny in his clothes, but he didn't expect to have good muscles." ”
Liu Wei, holding the boulder with both hands, gritted his teeth, and forced, "Give it to me!" slowly picked up the boulder, and then it was too high, as long as it exceeded his chest, it was qualified, the weight of two thousand catties pressed on his body, and his legs trembled, but in the end he was still qualified.
"Liu Wei, two thousand catties, the next one, Lin Dong!" Steward Li shouted at the top of his voice.
In this way, the selection of escorts is carried out slowly, and everyone only has one chance, so you have to think about it carefully, and if you fail, no one will listen to you say that the boulder you chose was not selected well, so the speed is very fast, and in the process of re-selection, the five teenagers on the stage are also staring at these people tightly, and today they are the key.
"Next, Hu Lin!" Steward Li had just finished reading the name, Hu Lin ran up quickly, touched his mustache, and quietly stuffed a money bag into Steward Li's cuffs, the speed was very fast, except for the person concerned, I am afraid that only Zhong Wuxian noticed this matter.
"Hu Lin, a thousand catties, next..."
The first day of the escort selection ended like this, there were more than 100 people participating in the selection, and only 30 people finally passed, the pass rate was really not high, and the time was not early, "Butler, tell the kitchen to prepare meals and quilts, and the people who participated in the selection will rest here for one night, and continue tomorrow!"
After saying that, Zhong Tianlong got up and left first, and then Zhong Li and Zhong Huo also got up, "Big brother, won't Hya'er also participate in the selection of personal guards this year?"
Zhongli paused, "What, is there anything wrong with this?"
"Big brother, you also know, what is the identity of this kid, will it be too much to choose a personal guard for him..."What Zhong Huo said was already obvious enough, meaning that he wanted to occupy Zhong Wuxie's place.
"What is the identity of no hatred? Isn't he the second young master of my Zhong Mansion, the old man has no opinion, why second brother, what do you want to remind me?" Zhong Li had a faint smile on his face, if he didn't know who he was, he would definitely be deceived by this smile.
"Heh, I'm just talking, everyone knows the problem of the hateless body, there is no need to invest so many resources, some time ago, the eldest brother has given the hateless so much money to buy medicinal herbs, and now he has to select a personal guard for him, it's really a waste, how about it?" Zhong Huo said while looking at Zhongli's expression.
"This matter is not negotiable, the rules of the ancestors cannot be changed, second brother, don't think about this kind of thing, it's better to polish your eyes and find a good guard who meets the requirements of the three nephews." Saying that, Zhong Li also turned to leave, Zhong Huo turned his head, looked at Zhong Wuxian, who was full of innocent faces, snorted coldly, and then left, leaving only a few juniors.
"How about it, second brother, if you value anything, tell me, I'll show you!" Zhong Wuzhi also immediately came over and talked to Zhong Wuxi.
"There are a few people who are more in line with their hearts, but no matter what, let's wait for the second round of selection!" Zhong Wuxian nodded.
"Oh, cousin without hatred, you have to polish your eyes, the selection of guards is a big deal, if you choose the wrong person, it will be very hard!" Zhong Wudao walked over and sneered on the side, he hated this cousin deeply, why, he can enjoy such treatment with just an illegitimate child, and he, the dignified son of Zhongfu, is not as good as this waste.
"Don't worry about my cousin, I'll pay attention!"
........................................
The next day's guard selection was also carried out very smoothly, and more than 30 people passed the selection, according to this progress, another three or four days, the selection quota was about the same, but I didn't expect that from the third day, the pass rate of the selection suddenly increased a lot, so this time the guard selection, at the end of the fifth day, has all ended, a total of 264 people have passed the selection, these people are destined to become the guards of the Zhong Mansion, but whether they can become the personal guards of many sons and young ladies, it is unknown。
In the inn of Jufu Building, the woman in black gauze asked, "How are things going in Zhongfu?"
One of the kneeling people below also spoke: "Lord Hui, there are six of us in total, all of whom have entered the ranks of guards, including Mr. Yi, and the strength shown is very good, as for whether they can become a personal guard, it depends on tomorrow!"
In a relatively remote house in Gucheng, the man in white was dancing with a sword, and after a set of swordsmanship, he threw the long sword casually and inserted it into the scabbard on the side, "How are things going?"
"Childe, you've succeeded, and then it's up to tomorrow!"
...............
On the last day of the selection of guards, that is, when the guards were selected, all the two hundred and sixty-four guards who passed the selection stood here, waiting for Zhong Wuxian and the five to go and pick people.
On the high platform, Zhong Tianlong turned his head and shouted at Zhong Wuqi and the others: "Wuji, you guys come here!"
"Today is the time for you to select the personal guards, these people are all the people who passed a few days ago, and the number of places in your hands is limited, so you must pay attention, once you choose, you can't change it!" Zhong Tianlong was rarely enthusiastic, after all, among these five people was his favorite grandson.
"Grandpa, I know!" Zhong Wuji's five people also saluted together.
The five of them stood together, looking at the guards in the audience, Zhong Wudao, Zhong Wuhu, and Zhong Wuyue also spoke together, "Wuji, you should come first!"
Zhong Wuji didn't pay attention to the three of them, but turned his head to look at Zhong Wuxian, and after seeing Zhong Wuxian nodding, Zhong Wuqi jumped off the stage and walked towards those guards, Steward Li also took the list of people who passed for the first time, Zhong Wuqi looked at the list, and then compared it with others.
It's just that when he came to a person he stopped, this is a martial artist, that's right, it is a martial artist level, generally speaking, most of the people who come to participate in the selection are martial artists, even there are very few samurai, let alone a martial artist, this person's name is Yi Dong, when he learned of his cultivation, many people on the high platform were shocked, and after asking the reason, he knew that the other party had a martial arts level enemy, in order to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, he thought of this method, for this person's statement, most people did not believe it, and originally wanted this guy to go out directly, but in the end, Yi Dong offered the treasure, which stayed。
In the end, Zhong Wuqi still didn't choose this martial artist, the selection process was not fast, and when he came to Li Hu's side, he had a smile on his face, "Li Hu, are you willing to be my personal guard?"
Li Hu nodded, "I would like to listen to the envoy of the eldest young master!" Li Hu was the last personal guard, and when he saw that his grandson was selected, Steward Li's old face was also glowing.
Zhong Wuqi came to the high platform with his twelve personal guards, "Grandpa, this is the person I chose!"
Zhong Tianlong asked curiously: "My good grandson, you tell grandpa, why don't you choose that Yi Dong?
Zhong Wuji nodded, "Grandpa, the martial artist level is certainly powerful, but sooner or later one day I will also break through, and now, I can't master such a martial artist, I can't allow an existence that is out of my control, so I'd rather not!"
Zhong Tianlong touched his grandson's head, "Yes, that's right, you go back first, these twelve guards must practice well, one day, they will become your right-hand men." ”
After Zhong Wuzhi left, Zhong Tianlong also left, for the rest of the people, the rest of the things, he didn't care, Zhong Wuxian shrugged his shoulders, and moved the folding fan in his hand, "Then it should be my turn now!" Just when Zhong Wudao and Zhong Wuhu wanted to refute, Zhong Wuxian had already walked down the high platform from the steps, grabbed the list, and pointed as he walked.
"Lin Dong, Lin Nan, Lin Xi, Lin Bei, you are the four brothers, the name is easy to remember, from today on, you are my personal guard!"
The tree people also glanced at each other, their faces showed excitement, and their hearts finally blossomed, "It's really good, I have become a personal guard, and the things that the son asked for will become much easier." ”
Zhong Wuxian didn't stop, but continued to walk forward, and finally came to that Yi Dong's side, "You, a strong martial artist, since my eldest brother is stupid and doesn't want to choose you, then I chose it, but Feng Yin is the same as other guards, how about it, is there a problem?"
Yi Dong nodded, "Second Young Master, I have no problem!"
After seeing that the only martial artist was selected by Zhong Wuxian, Zhong Wudao and Zhong Wuhu also clenched their fists tightly, "If I choose it first, this martial artist will be my person, unwilling!"
"Zhao Da, Zhao Er, Sun Tian, Zhou Cheng, Wang Xiu, Wang Ming, Su Yi, just the seven of you!"
