Chapter 10: A Test

While Hong Linying was thinking, he suddenly saw the door of the tent under the platform opened and a person came out. Hong Linying looked carefully and found that it was not the person who had just entered, but Ji Wenhe who came out first. After he came out, another person followed him out.

"Huh? Who is this?" Hong Linying was startled, then sat up straight, opened his eyes suddenly, and then slowly relaxed his body, his expression returned to calm.

At this time, under the stage, Ji Junshi also turned sideways and looked up at the platform, bowed from a distance, bowed slightly, and said loudly with his hands in his sleeves, "So Marshal Hong is also here, I am here to pay my respects."

Hong Linying stood up slowly and said loudly, "Oh, I came to the military training ground to see how the Guards are recruiting. If we can recruit enough today, we will have to arrange for the generals to be responsible for the training of the new recruits later. Military Advisor, are you going back home? Did you gain anything today?"

After hearing this, Military Advisor Ji looked at Marshal Hong, and a hint of subtle mockery flashed in the corner of his eyes, then he smiled, and then pointed his right hand at Li Yan behind him, saying, "Marshal, you are thoughtful. Haha, it's finally here after much anticipation. It's really not easy." After saying that, he shook his head gently.

"Oh, you found the person you were looking for? Congratulations to Military Advisor Ji. You are also a good sifter. I wonder how this person compares to the person you recruited last time?" Marshal Hong said with a sincere look of joy.

Hearing this, Military Advisor Ji's pale face couldn't help but darken a little. He didn't want to let Li Yan know about the last apprentice thing right away. If he knew too much, Li Yan would have doubts and it would be hard to say whether he was still willing to practice. And practice can't be forced.

If he doesn't want to, no one can. Hong Linying said this at this time, so he didn't congratulate him as he did on the surface, but what can he do now? He put his hands behind his back and said, "This boy is familiar with the classics, and his aptitude is very much in line with my heart. This is also destined by fate. I think it is much better than last time. Wen He thanks the Marshal."

Immediately, without waiting for Marshal Hong to reply, he turned around and said to Li Yan, "Li Yan, why don't you go forward to meet the Marshal."

Since Li Yan left the tent, he has been in surprise and can't extricate himself. Today's adventure has not made him sober. Today, he not only joined the army, but also became a disciple of the famous military division, and the monthly salary is far beyond his imagination. In this way, wouldn't it be possible for me to go home and take care of my parents in a few years? But then I thought, what if the teacher doesn't let me go? Should I buy a house in the city and bring my parents and my third brother over? It would be a wonderful thing for the whole family to be together. Also, I can go to see Li Yu and Li Shan in a few days, and they will definitely be envious of me. Well, I will go out and tell Uncle Guo Xin about this and ask him to go home and tell my parents first. I don't know how much my parents will like it. My third brother and fourth sister will also be very happy. I was thinking about it all the time, and my face was happy for a while, and then worried for a while, and my thoughts were tangled. Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a shout in his ear. He woke up immediately and looked up to see the teacher looking back at him. He was a little dazed for a moment. In fact, he heard the conversation between Marshal Hong and Division III just now, but he was just thinking about his own things and automatically ignored the content of their conversation. Now that he saw the teacher looking at him, he hurriedly thought about why. Just now, the teacher seemed to say "Marshal or something", and Marshal Hong also said "the people he accepted last time were more or less"

"Li Yan, why don't you go up and greet the Marshal." Another shout, with a hint of dissatisfaction in the voice. Division III saw that he asked Li Yan to come up and greet him, but he stood there in a daze, as if thinking about something. He thought to himself, "Could he have any thoughts about what Hong Linying said just now? It's really annoying that he has such intentions. I have to help him untie this knot after returning. This Hong Linying is really annoying." Thinking of this, there was a trace of anger on his face, and then he shouted at Li Yan again. However, in the eyes of Li Yan, the soldiers beside him, and Marshal Hong on the stage, this anger was caused by Li Yan's disobedience to his master.

Seeing that his teacher looked a little unhappy, Li Yan hurriedly took a few steps, walked a little in front of the teacher, and knelt down to Hong Linying on the stage and bowed, "Boy, meet Marshal Hong, please punish me for my disrespect just now." Li Yan had already met the two most important local officials in half a day. This was not something that ordinary people could do, so he hurried to pay homage.

Marshal Hong on the stage focused on Li Yan who was kneeling to him, and thought to himself, "This boy, why does he look a little stupid." He didn't know that Li Yan was stupid, he was just overwhelmed by the huge joy just now. Two or three huge happiness hit him in a day, and anyone would be at a loss as if falling into a dream, not to mention him as a mountain village boy, even adults would not be able to extricate themselves from this joy in such a short time. Seeing this, he waved his hand and said, "Stand up, what's your name?"

Li Yan lowered his head and stood up, answering respectfully, "My name is Li Yan, and I am from Lijia Village in Daqing Mountain."

"Oh? Then your home is not too far from here. Our military division has been looking for him everywhere, but he is right in front of us, haha." Marshal Hong continued with a smile. He looked carefully at Li Yan who had stood up. This boy had a dark face, ordinary appearance, and a thin body. He looked very ordinary. The conditions for the military division to select disciples were really hard to understand. Suddenly, he touched the bluestone paved table with his toes and jumped out in the air.

Li Yan was thinking about what Marshal Hong said just now, and suddenly felt a strong wind pressing down on his head. He looked up quickly, and felt a flash in front of his eyes. Then his left wrist tightened and was firmly grasped by the person who came. A hot current suddenly poured into his wrist meridians, and then quickly flowed into his body along the meridians from his arm. He was shocked and instinctively wanted to pull back his arm, but his arm was like being cast in an iron clamp, motionless. His face changed even more. When he wanted to pull back his arm with all his strength, he found that the person had let go of his left hand, and the hot current in his body had disappeared without a trace after quickly traveling through his body. He felt a little relieved, and hurriedly looked carefully. It turned out that Marshal Hong had come to him from the high platform more than ten meters away by some unknown body method. The person who just held his wrist was him.

Li Yan looked at Marshal Hong, then turned to look at the teacher, feeling uneasy in his heart, not knowing why.

What happened just now was done in just a few breaths, but the military advisor Ji had been standing not far behind Li Yan from beginning to end, with a calm face, as if he had not seen it. At this time, Marshal Hong had withdrawn his right hand, and bowed to the military advisor Ji with a big laugh, saying, "Military advisor, please don't be surprised. I am just curious. The military advisor has been selecting disciples for several years, and there are only two people who can catch the military advisor's eye. I just want to know what kind of person with extraordinary strength and bones can be so lucky. I can't help but be impulsive. Military advisor, please don't take it to heart."

Military advisor Ji showed a half-smile on his face and said, "Then what difference can the marshal see in the bad disciple?"

Marshal Hong's face straightened, and after a little hesitation, he said, "The military advisor's sect The depth of the boy makes Hong feel even more unpredictable. To be honest, Hong thinks that this boy's meridians are not necessarily wider and wider than those of many men in the army, and even worse than some of them. Bones? Well, it should be above average, but not the best. This is just the Hongmen's opinion. But since the military advisor has chosen this boy, I think there must be something special about him, but Hong can't see it. "

Ji Junshi smiled and said, "Marshal Hong is right. In addition to requiring good meridians, the main thing for our sect's mental method is that there must be several meridians in the body that are different from others. Only in this way can the martial arts learned by our sect be brought into play. This reason has already involved the mental method of the master's sect. I'm sorry that I can't say more. "

Marshal Hong heard this and stopped asking. Then he said, "So what are the arrangements for the military advisor?"

Military advisor Ji bowed slightly to Marshal Hong and said, "My disciple will go back to the mansion with me to practice. Marshal also knows that my health is getting worse and worse. It is time to find a sect to inherit my legacy as soon as possible. So he will practice with me most of the time, but occasionally he will help me with some small military matters, just as a training and relaxation. As for his salary? Well, I will give him the same amount as the captain every month from my salary. . "

Marshal Hong thought for a moment and said, "That's not necessary. Since your disciple will help you with military affairs, it's not appropriate to have no status. Then he can be a deputy lieutenant of the defense. The salary will be paid from the army. I will have someone send the badge to the military advisor's residence. At the same time, the subsidy for enlistment will be sent to the village by the military logistics department in the next few days, registered and handed over to his family."

Marshal Hong would not be stingy with this salary, so he simply gave the subsidy as well.

After hearing this, the Third Army Master was no longer polite and said, "Then follow the Marshal's wishes. Li Yan, why don't you go forward and thank the Marshal?"

Since his wrist was captured and released, Li Yan has been watching the conversation between the two of them, and his heart has gradually calmed down. From the two adults, he heard that it seemed extremely difficult for him to become a disciple of the Third Army Master. His teacher may have been selecting in the army for several years. There are so many people in the army, and he seems to have only picked out two people, including himself, as apprentices. Marshal Hong was very curious about this, so he tried it just now.

Hearing the official position given by Marshal Hong, he was also at a loss. He didn't know what the position of the Deputy Lieutenant of the Imperial Guard was and what it did, but the enlistment subsidy mentioned by Marshal Hong would be delivered to the parents in the village in the next few days. He knew it clearly, so he happily went forward to thank him again.

If he knew that he had been promoted to the lower rank of the eighth rank in the past half day, it would be like a huge puff of smoke coming out of his ancestral tomb today, and the puff of smoke turned into thick smoke. You have to know how many times an ordinary soldier has to go through life and death to be promoted from an ordinary soldier to the lower rank of the ninth rank, the upper rank of the ninth rank, the lower rank of the ninth rank, the upper rank of the ninth rank, and then to the lower rank of the eighth rank.

And he was just a few words from the two big men, but then again, even if he knew that he was from the lower rank of the eighth rank, he still didn't know how big the official position was. He was more concerned about the real money.

Seeing that Li Yan had finished thanking him, the military advisor bowed slightly to Marshal Hong and said, "If the Marshal has no other instructions, then I will take my leave now."

"Please do as you please, Military Advisor. I think your heart is not here anymore. Haha, I still need to look at the recruitment of the Guards and arrange some training for the new army, so I won't see you off." Marshal Hong laughed.

So Military Advisor Ji turned and walked towards the gate of the school military field with the sergeants beside him looking at him respectfully. Li Yan also hurriedly followed in the envious and jealous eyes of those sergeants.

Watching the backs of Military Advisor Ji and Li Yan walking farther and farther away, Marshal Hong stood outside the tent, touching his chin with his hand, stroking his short beard in deep thought. After a while, he whispered something that only he could hear, "Is this kid's physique really special?"
