Origin Chapter 561: Fearless
With more than 2,000 people, it is impossible to ask questions one by one and conduct complex screening. Only targeted exclusions can be made.
Because the time was not very abundant, Wu Zhongyuan did not hesitate. After looking around the crowd, he whispered to Zhu Qianwei, "The only son is eliminated."
He could have spoken in person, but there are two reasons why Zhu Qianwei did it for him. The second is to deliberately highlight the identity of Zhu Qianwei's personal commander.
"For the only child and only daughter in the family, back ten feet." Zhu Qianwei raised his voice.
The candidates who retreated knew that they had lost the election, but they had no resentment in their hearts, because Wu Zhongyuan's move made it clear that they would stay away from danger and go home to fulfill their filial piety.
At this time, there were not many only children, and this move only removed more than 200 people.
Wu Zhongyuan said again, "If I ask you to kill your parents, will you kill or not? Those who kill are on the left, and those who don't are on the right."
Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Zhu Qianwei was stunned for a moment, then turned to speak up and relayed the message.
After Zhu Qianwei's words, the candidates were stunned. This question can no longer be described as strange. It can only be called poison. This is for everyone to choose between loyalty and filial piety. , If they disobeyed the orders of the Yellow Emperor, how could the Yellow Emperor keep them by his side? But if he kills his own parents, it would be outright rebellious. How could Huang Di trust and keep such a person?
When everyone was amazed and looked at each other in dismay, Wang Xinran was the first to move, leaving the queue and walking north. At this time, everyone stood facing east. For everyone, north means left, and left means kill.
When everyone was tangled and hesitant, Wang Xinran moved north alone, looking very dazzling, and everywhere he went, everyone attracted attention.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't give everyone much time to think. When Wang Xinran left the team, he tilted his head and glanced at Zhu Qianwei.
I wish Qianwei understood, raised his breath, shouted and urged.
Under the urging of Zhu Qianwei, the candidates began to divide to the left and right. After a few minutes, they were divided into two teams. There were more than 700 people who disobeyed orders, and twice as many people who obeyed orders.
"They should obey my orders, and they should believe that I won't let them kill their parents." Wu Zhongyuan said calmly.
Before this, Zhu Qianwei had also been deliberating on the correct answer, and only when he heard Wu Zhongyuan's words did he suddenly realize and speak out.
The people who lost the election were aggrieved, annoyed, and complained. They didn't dare to complain about Wu Zhongyuan, but the implication was that Wu Zhongyuan asked them to kill their parents, and now Wu Zhongyuan said that he would not give such an order.
Without Wu Zhongyuan speaking, Zhu Qianwei responded on his behalf, "If what the sage said just now, if you don't understand clearly, why would you complain?"
Zhu Qianwei finished speaking, and his complaints were greatly reduced, but there were still criticisms.
Zhu Qianwei said again, "If your parents rebel against you, will you sacrifice loyalty and filial piety?"
As soon as this statement came out, there was no complaints, and the people who lost the election were only annoyed. Zhu Qianwei was right. If it is between the two, if it is not necessarily so, they choose to disobey, of course, they are full of filial piety. But at the same time, he also lost his loyalty to the emperor. To put it bluntly, his subjective consciousness is greater than his obedience consciousness. Naturally, such a person Huang Di would not stay by his side.
There are still more than 1,400 people left. Wu Zhongyuan raised a third question, "The queen was attacked while she was bathing. Do you all enter to help? The rescuers are on the left, and those who don't are on the right."
I wish Qianwei loudly conveyed as usual.
This problem is also very poisonous. Failure to save is dereliction of duty, and saving is overreaching. You must know that the queen is in danger while taking a bath. If you rush in, you will definitely see things you shouldn't see.
As the male candidates hesitated, the female candidates walked to the left.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Qianwei said loudly, "For women, it is the Yellow Emperor who is in danger in the bath."
As soon as Zhu Qianwei said this, the candidate women walking to the left all stopped. The queen and noble concubine were in danger. They would definitely go in to rescue and protect them, but the Yellow Emperor was of the opposite **** to them, and rushing in would inevitably see indecent assault Something to ignore.
Wang Xinran was also walking to the left. After hearing Zhu Qianwei's words, the other women stopped and hesitated, but she didn't. She immediately changed to the right.
"As a guard, my job is to protect the royal family. If the queen is in danger, I should rescue you. After the incident, I am willing to kill myself, in the name of the whole queen." A candidate shouted loudly.
"Just choose left and right, no need to say more." Zhu Qianwei said in a deep voice.
Either dereliction of duty or overreaching is a serious negligence. How to choose?
Wang Xinran was the first to make a choice. Since she made the right choice last time, many people placed their bets on her and stood on the right side like she did.
But what the people who spoke up earlier also made sense. As a guard, you should sacrifice your life to protect the royal family. It's a big deal.
After a while, everyone chose left and right, four hundred people to save and one thousand to not save.
"The queen mother is in the world, no one is allowed to blaspheme, including you." Wu Zhongyuan said calmly.
Zhu Qianwei is rumored as usual.
As soon as this statement came out, the 400 people who chose to rush into the rescue were all frustrated and lost, and it was inevitable that there would be some resentful people who murmured and slandered.
Zhu Qianwei glanced at Wu Zhongyuan with a pleading look, and seeing that he had no objection, he scolded him loudly, "Don't make a noise, the queen's bath was attacked, and the sage will deal with it. Instead, they seek loyalty and righteousness, and where do they put the saint and the queen?"
After Zhu Qianwei finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly. What Zhu Qianwei said was exactly what he thought, and the reason why he asked this question was to take the opportunity to set rules and let these guards know about men and women He is not generous, and no one is allowed to blaspheme his own woman.
The losers withdrew in dismay, and there were still about a thousand people in the field.
"Three people are in a row, and each row of three people belongs to a different city." Wu Zhongyuan said.
Wu Zhongyuan is saying, Zhu Qianwei is shouting, horizontal is row, vertical is column, three people form a column, each row has more than 300 people, such a long queue, it takes a lot of time to line up, the most important thing is The only thing is that the three people in each column must belong to different Yuancheng, so the queue time will be longer.
When the crowd lined up, Wu Zhongyuan said to Zhu Qianwei, "I ordered the Creation Department to send their cloaks."
Zhu Qianwei nodded yes and turned around, but he didn't enter the city, he just walked to the city gate and turned back, because at this time the warriors and wizards in the city knew that Wu Zhongyuan was picking his own soldiers outside the city, and they all Gathered on the city wall to watch, among them were the warriors in charge of creation.
After everyone lined up, Wu Zhongyuan said again, "Three people fight, one will die, and two will remain."
Zhu Qianwei knew for a long time that Wu Zhongyuan didn't play cards according to common sense, but he didn't expect him to make such a cold-blooded decision.
As soon as this order came out, there was an uproar, not only the candidates, but also the faces of the audience.
"You can withdraw at any time before the competition starts. One of them withdraws, and the remaining two are selected." Wu Zhongyuan added.
After Zhu Qianwei sent the order, he asked Wu Zhongyuan in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you want to give me weapons?"
"Prepare three long swords." Wu Zhongyuan said.
While Zhu Qianwei was preparing the sword, there were many people in the queue who automatically retreated.
Wu Zhongyuan watched from the sidelines. The people who quit at this time were in two situations. One was that they were afraid. The other was that they felt that his orders were cold-blooded and unwilling to obey. Yes, no one wants to take a chance on a bargain.
Not long after, Zhu Qianwei returned with a long sword, inserted it vertically on the ground, "The first column!"
After Zhu Qianwei said that, the three people in the first column hesitated and did not step forward immediately.
"As long as the competition starts, one must die, otherwise the other two will not be selected." Wu Zhongyuan said in a deep voice.
As soon as these words came out, one of the first row shivered and stepped back.
This situation is also within Wu Zhongyuan's expectation. His decision seems cold-blooded, but in fact it is not easy to die. This method tests the courage and psychological quality of candidates. Whoever is timid, who has poor psychological quality, whoever quits.
One person withdraws, and the remaining two are automatically selected. Together with the vertical columns where some people withdraw, more than 200 people are directly selected.
It is not easy to die does not mean that it will not die, it will definitely die, and it is estimated that there are more than one. This rule may seem cruel, but in fact it is the best choice. Down can only harm others.
Zhu Qianwei urges one by one. At the last minute, one person in the vertical column will withdraw, but there are also three who are not afraid of death and can only fight.
The rules were set by Wu Zhongyuan, but the path was chosen by them, and the consequences had to be borne by themselves.
At the moment when the blood was seen, many people in the remaining queue quit. Quitting is cowardly, and such people are not qualified to serve as guards.
After one of them fell to the ground, the other two hesitated, looked at each other, and neither stepped forward to assassinate.
After waiting for a while, the two of them did not see their hands. Zhu Qianwei gave an order to remove all three of them. Wu Zhongyuan said earlier that one must die, otherwise the other two would not be selected. All were voted out.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan is really moving, those who have a fluke mentality will withdraw from another group. If one withdraws, two will be selected. Soon the number of selected people has reached more than 500, and there are only more than 100 left on the opposite side. People, dozens of vertical columns.
Really dead, two candidate men joined forces to kill another candidate woman.
These two are neither mean nor unmanly. Men and women are equal on the battlefield, and whoever is weaker will die.
As soon as one dies, dozens of people drop out. One person is one column. If one withdraws, two are selected. As a result, there are only seven columns left in the field, and Wang Xinran is in these seven columns. Among them, she was in the front row, and the two behind them were tall and burly men.
Zhu Qianwei frowned and looked at Wu Zhongyuan. Wu Zhongyuan was also worried. The rules were set by him. In any competition or competition, changing the rules in the middle is a taboo. It is not only unfair to the contestants, but also seriously loses credibility.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan didn't respond, Zhu Qianwei could only urge the remaining vertical columns to continue the competition.
Fortunately, after picking up the long sword, several candidates voluntarily gave up.
Wang Xinran was the third from the bottom. Since she was a woman, the other two burly men naturally wouldn't be afraid of her.
Wu Zhongyuan is nervous and worried, pays close attention, and is ready to rescue people at any time.
Seeing that he didn't say a word, I wish Qianwei only thought he was confident, and when the three of them picked up the long sword, they ordered loudly, "Start."
As soon as the words fell, two burly men rushed towards Wang Xinran at the same time. It was clear at a glance which one was strong and which one was weak.
"Bang, bang..."
