Chapter 44: A Test of Loyalty

Looking at Ming Peng, who was far away, Yun Chen sighed in his heart: "Hey, this is the son of the family, I didn't finish my words, I gave up, if everyone in the army of the Holy Dynasty is like him, what else is there to talk about fighting the demon clan and defending the Holy Dynasty!"

Then, Yun Chen's eyes swept over the people on the handsome platform, and finally slowly spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, this expedition is not a child's play, we are facing a demon tiger and wolf division that is stronger than us and more ferocious than us, including me, our lives may be lost in the barren mountains and mountains at any time, I Yunchen can't guarantee your safety to you and your family, if there is still that son who wants to give up, then you can leave now."

When everyone on the stage heard this, they began to talk about it, and some people didn't even think about it, and quietly left the martial arts arena directly from the side of the handsome stage.

At this moment, Yun Chen turned around and shouted at the audience: "And everyone in the audience, although I, Yun Chen, am the commander of this army, I can't guarantee your personal safety to everyone present, I can only say that if I want to die, I will die with everyone, and I will never leave any brother behind." Since ancient times, war is a murder weapon, a big war together, blood flowed like a river, corpses and bones everywhere, if you can stay at home peacefully, enjoy the joy of your wife and children, it is not a kind of happiness. I won't force everyone, after all, everyone has their own aspirations, and if anyone wants to quit now, please leave the martial arts arena by yourself. ”

At this time, a burst of noise broke out in the crowd under the stage, and then a large number of people quietly withdrew from the martial arts arena. Seeing the situation in the audience, many nobles on the stage couldn't sit still, and they all got up to say goodbye to Yun Chen and Ouyang Yu.

After about a stick of incense, no one left the audience, and there were three young nobles sitting there on the handsome stage, motionless.

Ming Yifeng's eyes swept over the people in the audience, silently counted in his heart, and finally whispered to Yun Chen next to him: "Third brother, there are probably more than 5,000 people below! There were 20,000 or 30,000 people when I signed up just now, but now there are only these left." ”

Yun Chen smiled at this time: "Fourth brother, you have to remember that there are not many soldiers, but fine." If you don't even have the courage to go to the battlefield, then the many people in the world can only be a rabble, vulnerable to attack. I'm glad to have so many people with strong faith left behind, but the test is not over yet, and I hope you don't let me down!"

"Are there any other tests?" Ming Yifeng wondered.

"Of course!" Yun Chen said with a smile: "Just now it is just the first test, which can be called a test of courage, the test is the courage and belief of the soldiers, this is also the most basic test, only with firm belief and courage to overcome difficulties and win people, can you be qualified to become a member of my vanguard army." The next test in the second level, I call it the test of loyalty!"

"A test of loyalty? What is that? Is it a test of a soldier's loyalty?" asked Ming Yifeng.

"That's right!" Yun Chen said with a smile: "It is to test the loyalty of the soldiers, fourth brother, you must know that the march to war, the military order is like a mountain, once the commander gives the military order, the soldier must obey, and do not hesitate to act in accordance with the military order, if anyone doubts the commander's order, then this army will definitely suffer." Therefore, absolute loyalty and absolute obedience to the commander are the necessary guarantees for the army to win the battle. And this test is to test the degree of execution and loyalty of the soldiers to the commander's orders. ”

Hearing Yun Chen's words, a young man sitting on the handsome platform opened his eyes and said coldly: "Okay, how does Lord Yun want to test, just say it, we are here to join the army and serve the country, not to listen to nonsense here." ”

Hearing the words of the young man, Yun Chen smiled and said: "It turned out to be the prince of the emperor, isn't it enough to pave a career path for the prince of the emperor......

"Okay, Lord Yun doesn't need to say it, I don't want to hear the same thing a second time! Now that I've decided to stay here, I'm mentally prepared. Huangfu Dingguo said slightly angrily: "Also, my father is my father, I am me, my Emperor Fu Dingguo has never thought of relying on my father's connections and power to get an official position in the Holy Dynasty, I want to do things, I will only rely on my own ability." ”

At this time, the two people sitting next to Huangfu Dingguo also spoke.

"I, Xue Qingqiu, came to join the army this time to serve the country, not to be promoted and make a fortune, and it has nothing to do with my father, so Lord Yun doesn't need to say it anymore. ”

"I, Jiang Yunxing, came this time, and I didn't follow the orders of the clan, although Lord Yun can rest assured, as long as I treat everyone equally!"

Hearing the words of Huangfu Dingguo and the other three, Yun Chen nodded with satisfaction, and said in his heart: "Huangfu Dingguo is the son of the right prime minister Huang Futao, and Xue Qingqiu is the son of the left prime minister Xue Liuyun, and this Jiang Yunxing is a member of the royal family, the status of the three of them is not low, but they insist on joining the army, it seems that they came voluntarily this time, not on the orders of the clan, so it's okay, now there are not many bloody and assertive young people, the three of them are all manufacturable materials, why don't you let me hone these three for the second brother." ”

After that, Yun Chen smiled at the three of them: "Okay, it's Yun who lost his words!" Then, Yun Chen turned to everyone in the audience and said, "Okay, since everyone has made up their minds, then we will carry out the second level of this recruitment." ”

At this time, Yun Chen suddenly pointed to the training open space on the east side of the martial arts arena and said, " Everyone, please look there, I have ordered people to set up two hundred oil pots in that open space, each oil pot contains boiling oil, and there are twenty tokens in each oil pot, what you have to do now is to go to any oil pot, reach into the oil pot with your bare hands, take out one of the tokens, and then you can go to the barracks at the back of the martial arts training ground to wait for the next test, and during the whole test process, there must not be a single word or pain, I will send someone to monitor, if someone violates the rules, they will be kicked out of the martial arts field, if you can't take out the token, you will also be deemed to have given up。 Alright, now you can go get your token!"

After that, more than 5,000 people in the venue came to the oil pot in batches under the supervision of the forbidden army. But the first people who came to the oil pot stayed on the spot, because they saw the oil pot on the ground, and the oil under the oil pot was blazing, and the oil in the pot had already been boiled, and bubbles came out of the bottom of the pot one by one, and the token was at the bottom of the oil pot, and if you wanted to take out the token with your bare hands, you had to put your hand into the boiling oil, but in this way, your hand would definitely be seriously burned.

At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly began to shout and curse.

"What kind of test is this, isn't this going to burn us alive?"

"Yes, we are here to join the army and serve the country, but we are not fools, if we put our hands into such a pan of oil, will we still be able to fight with knives in the future?"

"We don't accept it, we don't accept it, Lord Yun, it's unreasonable for you to test like this!"

"Yes, we are the most loyal people of the Holy Court, and we want to serve our country, but we cannot accept this unfair test. ”

At this time, Yun Chen, Ming Yifeng, Ouyang Yu and Huangfu Dingguo also slowly came to the open space to the east of the martial arts arena. Looking at the oil pot full of boiling oil on the ground, and then looking at the angry crowd next to him, a trace of helplessness flashed in Yun Chen's eyes.

Seeing this, Ouyang Yu spoke: "Brother Yun, what are you...... The oil in these pans is very high, and if you put your bare hands into the pot to get the order, your hands will definitely be severely burned, so not only will you not be able to get the token, but you will also hurt people, what kind of test is this? ”

Yun Chen looked at Ouyang Yu next to him, and then looked at everyone around him, and then shouted loudly: "Listen, the battle situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the commander has ordered that the soldiers must be completely obedient, if you can't even do the most basic word 'obedience', why should you win the battle." Therefore, now this test is to let you know that in the future, in the army, what you need to do is obedience, obedience, absolute obedience. Now there are only two ways in front of you, one is to take out the token and wait in the back barracks, and the other is to give up and leave the martial arts arena by yourself. After that, Yun Chen didn't say much, turned around and left the scene directly, and went to the barracks behind.

Seeing this, Ming Yifeng and Ouyang Yu sighed helplessly, so they had to follow. Just when everyone hesitated, Huangfu Dingguo suddenly came to an oil pot, looking at the boiling oil in the pot, Huangfu Dingguo slowly stretched his right hand into the oil pot, but after Huangfu Dingguo's right hand was stretched into the pot, a strange look suddenly flashed in his eyes, and his face also changed, but after a while, his face returned to normal. In the end, Huangfu Dingguo stretched out his hand and took out the token, and Huangfu Dingguo didn't make a sound during the whole process, just silently completed Yun Chen's test, and then went to the back barracks alone.

Subsequently, Xue Qingqiu and Jiang Yunxing also silently took out the token, and then went to the back camp. However, everyone present was hesitant, and after that, most of them really couldn't accept this harsh test, so they turned around angrily and left the martial arts arena, while the remaining few people took out the token and then went to the back camp.

An hour later, in front of the barracks behind the martial arts arena, Yun Chen stood in front of the camp, looked at the nine hundred and fifty people in front of him with a smile, and then said loudly: "Congratulations, congratulations on defeating yourself and passing the test!" I believe that when you take out the token, you also feel that the oil in the oil pot is not as hot as your eyes see, in fact, the bottom of the pot is just vinegar, and the oil is floating on top of the vinegar, and the vinegar is easy to boil, after boiling, bubbles come out, forming the illusion that the oil is also boiling, so it is not difficult to take out the token with your bare hands. The reason why I have arranged this is to let you learn how to defeat yourself, and secondly, to make you understand that absolute obedience and trust are required in the army, and that no matter which of you is admitted in the future, you must strictly follow the instructions and not hesitate at all. ”

Hearing Yun Chen's words, everyone's eyes showed a strange look, as if they were proud, as if they were worshipping, and they seemed to be firm, but these all showed that they had succeeded, not only successfully defeated themselves, but also obtained the identity token of the vanguard army of the Holy Dynasty.
