Chapter 0042 Strong Recruitment
"What a great palm technique! What a great palm technique!"
After studying it for a while, Li Chengkong sighed again.
"It's good that you know its subtlety." Wang Ruoyu smiled proudly.
"This palm technique is not as good as the Qinglian Holy Sect's martial arts?"
"… It is inferior to the Qinglian Holy Sect's martial arts."
Li Chengkong's face was solemn.
If I escape today, what about next year?
Next year, the Holy Qinglian Church will directly send its top experts here.
I have only one year left, and my mental skills are not as profound as those of the Holy Green Lotus Sect. How can I surpass this top master?
He had no mood to talk anymore, and practiced the Great Sky Star Palm to the third level in one breath. The power could be stacked three times, exerting three times its own power.
…
When he returned to the courtyard in the sunset glow and rode the Plum Blossom Sutra, Jiang Shuting raised his hand and greeted him: "Old Li, Old Li, have you heard the news?"
Li Chengkong came to the well, took off his shirt and started to wash: "What's the news?"
"A list of six people." Jiang Shuting said.
"You, Lao Jiang, are not here?" Li Chengkong was washing his face.
Jiang Shuting smiled and said, "Fortunately, fortunately, I'm not there!"
"Everyone thinks it's a good thing, but you feel something is wrong. I think you are being suspicious. Director Qin will not harm us." Sun Guiwu said.
Song Minghua smiled and shook his head.
Hu Yunshi snorted coldly: "Naive!"
He didn't believe that any official would do anything for the sake of profit or the official title.
"But it's too late to regret now." Jiang Shuting said: "The dust has settled. It is said that there are only six places, and there will be no more expansion in the future."
"Who are they?" Sun Guiwu asked hurriedly.
Jiang Shuting said six names, but Li Chengkong didn't recognize any of them.
Sun Guiwu nodded: "These six guys are all tough guys!"
In the evening of the next day, Jiang Shuting ran over and told them the bad news that none of the six guards outside the Xiaoling Mausoleum were spared and all died at the hands of Song Wuji.
However, the Xiaoling Guards suffered no casualties.
"Impossible?" Sun Guiwu couldn't believe it.
These six people are stronger than most of the Xiaoling Guards. Except for one who is in the Mufeng Realm, the remaining five are in the Four Symbols Realm.
Song Minghua was puzzled: "No one of the Xiaoling Guards died?"
"No one is injured." Jiang Shuting said.
Hu Yunshi sneered.
Even the most obtuse Sun Guiwu could see it and frowned, "Impossible, Chief Qin would never do such a thing!"
"What's impossible?" Hu Yunshi snorted coldly: "We vegetable growers have only one worthless life. Who cares whether we live or die?"
Song Minghua sighed, "If I were Director Qin, I would do the same."
No one cares about the life and death of the eunuchs who grow vegetables, and the loss of one in the Xiaoling Guard will bring pressure from all sides.
"Maybe it's a misunderstanding, or just a coincidence?" Sun Guiwu still believed that Qin Tiannan would not do this.
"Anyway, the guards outside the Xiaoling Mausoleum are too dangerous." Jiang Shuting shook his head.
Sun Guiwu looked at Li Chengkong: "Old Li, it's a good thing you didn't go!"
My level is not high enough, and once Li Chengkong signs up, he will be selected, and this time I will be in great danger.
No matter how powerful Li Chengkong is, he is not as powerful as Song Wuji.
"Let's practice." Li Chengkong said.
Jiang Shuting said: "Now that the quota has been vacated, no one dares to sign up."
"Who wants to die?" Sun Guiwu snorted.
Li Chengkong seemed to be thinking about something.
When Sun Guiwu saw his expression, he immediately shouted, "Old Li, don't let your mind wander! Don't do anything rash!"
Jiang Shuting hurriedly called out, "Old Li, do you want to sign up?"
Li Chengkong smiled and waved his hands: "Forget it."
He felt that now was indeed a good time to sign up.
They did use the Xiaoling Outer Guards as cannon fodder or bait in the beginning, and now they will be more cautious about the Xiaoling Outer Guards.
It would be extremely unpopular to let the guards outside the Xiaoling Mausoleum be in danger again.
Officials still have to pay attention to their reputation, as it will affect their evaluation and promotion.
But no matter what, there is still a risk. Song Wuji is too powerful. What if we meet him again?
My top priority is to practice, improve my realm, and be a turtle , rather than showing off my talents.
Footsteps suddenly sounded and stopped outside the courtyard gate.
Li Chengkong shrugged his ears, stood up, opened the door, clasped his fists and said, "Chief Qin, Lord Han."
Qin Tiannan and Han Pingchuan entered the room at the same time, looking hesitantly as they walked inside.
Song Minghua and the other three stood up and saluted.
Han Pingchuan waved his hand: "No need to be polite."
Contrary to his usual serious expression, he put on a casual face and said with a smile, "It's very lively."
Jiang Shuting scratched his head embarrassedly.
Han Pingchuan also smiled in a friendly and approachable manner, "What are you talking about?"
Song Minghua and the other three looked at each other.
Qin Tiannan snorted: "What is there to hide!"
Li Chengkong tightly closed his lips, lowered his head and said nothing, only pretending to be respectful, determined not to attract attention.
Han Pingchuan smiled and said, "You must be talking about the guards outside the Xiaoling Mausoleum."
Song Minghua said: "Yes, we are also curious, how could the whole army be wiped out."
The two men frowned and shook their heads.
Hu Yunshi asked, "Chief Qin, Lord Han, what's going on?"
Sun Guiwu stared at him with wide eyes, thinking that they were so bold to actually ask this question.
Isn't this just touching the reverse scale?
"Alas..." Qin Tiannan shook his head.
Han Pingchuan said: "This was caused by many factors. First, they were unlucky and ran into Song Wuji head-on. Second, they were too impulsive and too eager to make achievements. They didn't escape when they should have. Third... the Xiaoling Guards also retreated in the face of the enemy. They have already been cleared out."
"Is it because you didn't consider them as your own people that you retreated in the face of the enemy and fled alone?" Hu Yunshi said coldly.
Han Pingchuan was silent.
Qin Tiannan snorted: "The Xiaoling Outer Guards are also Xiaoling Guards. If you don't consider the Xiaoling Guards as your own, then don't be Xiaoling Guards!"
Although Han Pingchuan's face was gloomy, he still looked at Hu Yunshi with admiration and nodded slightly.
It takes real courage to dare to speak out at this time. Hu Yunshi is as calm and heavy as a rock and is a good material.
Song Minghua said, "I wonder what brings you here to my humble courtyard?"
Li Chengkong tried to stop him with his eyes, but it was too late.
Qin Tiannan coughed lightly and looked at Li Chengkong.
Li Chengkong hurriedly said, "Master Qin, I'm going back to my room first."
"Why are you replying?" Qin Tiannan snorted, "Li Chengkong, from today on, you will be the outer guard of the Xiaoling Mausoleum!"
Li Chengkong thought to himself that it was true, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Master, what do you mean? I didn't sign up, did I?"
"No need to sign up." Qin Tiannan said, "This is a decision I made after discussing it with Lord Han."
"This... isn't voluntary?" Li Chengkong asked, "Can you force them to join?"
"As the chief officer, I can recruit anyone to join the Xiaoling Guard in an emergency!"
Li Chengkong shut his mouth.
Han Pingchuan said coldly: "Li Chengkong! Do you want to disobey orders? Do you want to experience the whip again?"
Li Chengkong said: "Lord Han, the Xiaoling Outer Guard is just an empty title. If you rush to the front when encountering danger, good things will not come to you."
"What benefit do you want?" Qin Tiannan said coldly.
Han Pingchuan also looked unfriendly.
Li Chengkong said: "I don't ask for power or profit, nor do I ask for the same treatment as the Xiaoling Guards. I only ask for one thing."
"Say it!" Qin Tiannan snorted.
Li Chengkong said: "I will not follow the orders of the other Xiaoling Guards, I will only follow your orders, Chief Qin."
"You have a big appetite!" Qin Tiannan sneered.
Li Chengkong actually wants to be promoted.
He was not under the command of other Xiaoling Guards and only listened to himself. He was supposed to be a centurion and had four centurions under him.
Li Chengkong said: "No fame, no profit, risking my life in vain, and still having to endure the humiliation, then just punish me, I would rather be whipped!"
Qin Tiannan stared at him coldly.
Sun Guiwu hurriedly winked at Li Chengkong, telling him not to anger Qin Tiannan and Han Pingchuan, otherwise he would suffer the consequences.
Li Chengkong just pretended to be respectful, with his eyes lowered so as not to meet their stern gazes, as if it was not him who had said those words just now.
The air around seemed to freeze.
"Gulp." Jiang Shuting's throat rolled and he swallowed nervously. The sound was so loud that he scared himself.
Han Pingchuan said slowly: "What Li Chengkong said is not without reason."
Qin Tiannan snorted coldly: "There is one biggest benefit of Xiaoling Outer Guard, but you didn't tell me, Li Chengkong."
Li Chengkong looked up.
Qin Tiannan said: "I can go out and get some fresh air, and have more exciting experiences. I can finally use my martial arts skills."
Li Chengkong shook his head: "Master, I just want to be safe and sound."
"Hmph, you have no ambition!" Qin Tiannan snorted coldly.
Han Pingchuan said: "Li Chengkong, there is another biggest benefit."
Li Chengkong looked at him with an attitude of listening attentively.
Han Pingchuan said: "Now that you have become the outer guard of Xiaoling Mausoleum, anyone who dares to assassinate you again will have to think twice."
Li Chengkong shook his head: "Will the Daluo Sect Master be concerned about the identity of the Xiaoling Outer Guard? Maybe not?"
"Yes!" said Han Pingchuan.
Li Chengkong closed his mouth and remained silent.
Obviously unmoved.
Jiang Shuting widened his eyes and tried hard not to swallow his saliva.
Li Chengkong actually dared to propose such conditions to Director Qin and Lord Han. He is so bold!
Han Pingchuan looked at Qin Tiannan: "Otherwise, Sir Qin, just follow his will."
"The four of you come in together!" Qin Tiannan made a circle with his index finger.
Everyone who was worried about Li Chengkong was stunned.
Qin Tiannan said: "Don't you like to get together? Then I will grant your wish, and you will all enter the Xiaoling Outer Guard!"
"Okay!" Sun Guiwu agreed without hesitation.
Hu Yunshi nodded.
Song Minghua hesitated and looked at Li Chengkong.
Li Chengkong frowned: "Master Qin..."
He originally planned to be sneaky and sneaky even after entering, hiding himself and practicing hard, not trying hard enough to achieve anything.
Qin Tiannan said: "Do you want to fight alone? This is a rare opportunity, you should think it over carefully!"
Han Pingchuan said, "Lord Qin and I have decided not to recruit any more guards from the Xiaoling Mausoleum. If they don't come in now, they will never be able to come in again."
"Okay, let's join!" Jiang Shuting said proudly.
