Origin Chapter 560: Selection of personal soldiers
Although Zhu Qianwei felt that Wu Zhongyuan's move was inappropriate, he had to accompany him, because Wu Zhongyuan was the Yellow Emperor, and no one could stop what he wanted to do.
It was windy, snowing, and the temperature was very low. The two left the palace and walked to the west gate.
Wu Zhongyuan wears a dark purple cape with embroidered gold dragons, and Zhu Qianwei wears a dark purple cape. The two of them are very conspicuous on the street, and passers-by see it, and they bow to avoid it.
"How many people have you picked?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.
"About two thousand four hundred." Zhu Qianwei replied in a low voice.
"How did you choose?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.
Zhu Qianwei replied, "Because the time is too tight, it is too late to select carefully. Most of the selected are brave and strong young men."
"What percentage of males and females each?" Wu Zhongyuan moved forward.
I wish Qianwei knew why Wu Zhongyuan asked this question, "Eighty-two, but I don't recommend leaving too many women in the saint."
"Why did you say this?" Wu Zhongyuan nodded at a blue-robed warrior who was saluting him by the side of the road as he spoke.
“Girls are outgoing, if they are emotionally attracted to others, they will inevitably be influenced by them. At that time, it may be difficult for them to be loyal to the emperor,” Zhu Qianwei said in a low voice, “Besides, women’s physical strength is not as good as men’s. Women are merciful.”
"Since there are many disadvantages for women to act as guards, why do you choose 20%?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile.
Zhu Qianwei smiled without saying a word. What he was laughing at was Wu Zhongyuan knowingly asked. On that day, Wu Zhongyuan secretly appointed Wang Xinran. In order to hide people's eyes and ears, he couldn't just pick Wang Xinran as a woman.
The relationship between people is gradually established, between men and women, and between men and men. Wu Zhongyuan admired Zhu Qianwei very much, and Zhu Qianwei sacrificed his life to save him at a critical juncture. And Zhu Qianwei was originally just a low-level warrior, who was brought up by Wu Zhongyuan, with a horned dragon halberd, a Taixuan cultivation base, a blue-eyed golden eagle, all generous gifts, kindness of the ruler and ministers, mutual respect and speculation.
"Who can tell if they are strong? How do you judge whether they are brave?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.
"The image is born from the heart." Zhu Qianwei replied.
"I can't tell you that you are still proficient in the art of looking at people, what do you think of her?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile.
At this time, he and she have different pronunciations. Zhu Qianwei knew who Wu Zhongyuan was asking, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he tilted his head and looked at the expression on Wu Zhongyuan's face. After pondering, he said in a low voice, " The old friend of the sage, the lord of the middle palace."
"Huh?" Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head sideways.
Zhu Qianwei knew that Wu Zhongyuan wanted to hear the basis of his judgment, but he just smiled and did not elaborate on the reason. A smart subordinate would not evaluate the woman of the leader, even if he made a positive evaluation.
There is a huge bear city. It takes a long time to walk to the west gate. The restaurants and inns along the streets are full of people. Most of these people are envoys who come to pay tribute and declare themselves ministers. Too many, the inn could not live there, and those who came later had to invest in the store from the city.
Because Wu Zhongyuan's clothes and cloak were different from others, some envoys recognized him and came out of the inn to kneel to greet him. Wu Zhongyuan simply dealt with it and moved on.
I didn't go very far, and I was recognized again, and I had to stop and perfunctory.
When the two of them escaped, Zhu Qianwei took the opportunity to persuade him, "The sage still doesn't want to go, just let her go and invite her into the palace, or you can keep it secret."
Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer and didn't stop. There were many reasons why he was eager to see Wang Xinran. First, he hadn't seen Wang Xinran for a long time, and he missed him very much. Second, it was freezing cold outside, and he was worried that Wang Xinran would suffer and suffer by sleeping outside the city. The third is to be sneaky and sneaky, which makes Wang Xinran feel indifferent.
There are many reasons why he didn't canonize Wang Xinran immediately. The biggest reason was that he didn't want to expose Wang Xinran's identity, and he was worried that Wu Di's unhappiness would be the second most important reason. If the enemy wants to plot harm, the queen will bear the brunt. Then there is Wang Xinran, who is new here and has no clear understanding of the current situation, nor has he made any achievements, and he is not even familiar with the language at this time. He didn't want his subordinates to find him cronyism.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan had made up his mind, Zhu Qianwei did not persuade him any more, and accompanied him out of the city gate to the edge of the woods where the candidates were camping.
More than 2,000 people did not come from one direction. There are three city gates in the east, west and south of Xiongcheng. There are about 1,000 candidates gathered outside the west gate. Just like the warriors, they also spread their camps in Yuancheng units.
Some of these candidates came on horseback, while others came on foot. Daze is Wu Qin's territory. Life is better than other Yuancheng. All the candidates came on horseback.
Without waiting for the two of them to approach, the candidates discovered them, and the leaders of Dayuancheng hurriedly gathered their troops, left the woods, and lined up to welcome them from the open space.
If it's summer camping, it's fine. It's not a pleasant thing to camp out in the winter. The candidate has never carried a decent tent, at most a blanket. It was definitely more difficult at night.
When the two of them walked within ten feet, the candidates fell to their knees under the leadership of the team leader, "Meet Lord Yellow Emperor."
Wu Zhongyuan originally wanted to say that he was free from rituals and straightened his body, but after thinking about it, he only said that he was flat-faced.
"The wind and snow are severe and cold, you are sleeping in the wild, and the few people are worried, so I came to visit before." Wu Zhongyuan turned his head and looked around, looking for Wang Xinran. Although there were many people, he still found the one in a very short time. Familiar faces, the moment he made eye contact with Wang Xinran, Wang Xinran blinked at him. Others didn't know why, but she knew very well that Wu Zhongyuan was worried about her.
When they heard Wu Zhongyuan's words, everyone was very moved, but when Huangdi spoke, they couldn't interrupt at will, not even Xie En.
Wu Zhongyuan looked up at the sky, determined the time, and turned to Zhu Qianwei and said, "Call the other candidates here, and the selection will be held in advance tomorrow."
Wu Zhongyuan's decision was obviously on a whim, but smart subordinates would never give advice to the leader in public, let alone question the leader's order, because it is equivalent to challenging the authority of the leader. Although Zhu Qianwei is very surprised , but without any hesitation, he immediately nodded and went to summon.
It takes time for the candidates from the South Gate and the East Gate to come here. During this period, Wu Zhongyuan stepped forward and had a brief conversation with those candidates who gathered at the West Gate. I wish Qianwei selected many of them Ordinary people without spiritual qi cultivation base also have a small number of low-level warriors. It may be that the guardsmen represent the royal majesty to some extent. Most of these people are tall and handsome.
Thousands of people don't always talk one by one. Wu Zhongyuan stopped briefly in front of the candidate teams in each city. He asked about the current situation of the people's livelihood in the besieged city, and he said mostly caring greetings.
Most of these people came from the bottom, and in the eyes of everyone, the siege city lord is already an unattainable existence. Now that he is in close contact with the Yellow Emperor who leads the three clans, it is inevitable that he will be nervous and trembling.
What made everyone feel the great pressure was not Wu Zhongyuan's noble Yellow Emperor costume, nor his profound spiritual cultivation, but his confidence and calmness in his gestures. Being in a high position cannot give birth.
During the conversation with the crowd, Wu Zhongyuan did not make frequent eye contact with Wang Xinran. At this time, it was three quarters of the time of Shen Shi, and it was dark early in winter. He had to select 600 people from 2,400 people as soon as possible People, this is the number of guards he agreed with Zhu Qianwei before.
2,400 people showed up to 600 people, the ratio was exactly one-fourth. One round of the literary test and one round of the martial arts test were basically the same.
Not long after, other candidates came from the east gate and the south, and after bowing to Wu Zhongyuan, they lined up with Yuancheng as a unit, waiting for Wu Zhongyuan to personally select...
