Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

"My lord, there is nothing special about selecting guards. One depends on their background, the other depends on their physique, the third depends on their courage, and the fourth depends on their quality. Both are indispensable." Liu Zhong, the housekeeper, saw that Liu Qi was very excited. Wanting to know the process and experience of selecting the guards, he poured them all out like beans from a bamboo tube without reservation.

"Oh, background, physique, and quality are also understandable. How do you identify courage?" Liu Qi heard from Liu Zhongyi that the four selection criteria are not special. indispensable.

Birth is like checking the eight generations of ancestors, looking at political affiliation, whether they are popular or professional; physical fitness must be guaranteed, the body is the capital of the revolution, such as infectious diseases, venereal diseases, AIDS, infirmity, etc., you don’t have to think about it at all. ;Quality, in ancient times it should refer to loyalty, but in later generations it should refer to the old scalper spirit of being conscientious, dedicated, and willing to be a willing ox.

As for courage, there is no clear indication in the selection of candidates in later generations. What is courage?The courage to do drastic work, or the courage to form a party for selfishness when corrupted?Of course, it takes courage to be a personal guard, and you have to deal with life-threatening dangers everywhere at any time.As for how to identify whether the selected guards are courageous or not, this is Liu Qi's concern.

Liu Zhong calmed down, calmed down Chen Wen's resentment when he doubted the loyalty of the guards, and said slowly: "Young master, among the twenty loyal and brave men in the mansion, Chen Wen, Chen Wu, and the six strong men of spring, summer, autumn and winter are all from me. Brought here from Chenjiazhuang. Like the six of them, there are many young strong men in Chenjiazhuang who have received the grace of the son’s mother, Mrs. Chen. Those who have passed the Three Passes are those who have courage, and you can follow me to Xiangyang to protect the young master."

"Oh, three ghost gates? There are such things, may I ask the butler which three gates are they?" Liu Qi became more and more fascinated as he listened. He looked at Chen Wen and saw Chen Wen nodded. His eyes were unusually calm. The three gates of ghosts are unforgettable, so it is true that the housekeeper must pass three gates of ghosts to choose guards.

"The first level is to seek fame with bare feet. Spread 30 meters of broken glass slag on an open space, and those who walk barefoot without falling will pass the level." Liu Zhongxiang was describing a very ordinary thing, but Liu Qi heard it was I feel chills in my heart, what kind of clearance test is this?It's a veritable ghost gate.

"Pursue fame with bare feet, and seek fame with blood." Liu Qi commented. From this point, it can be seen that fame is not easy to seek, and it has to pay a price. Only those who have the courage can seek it.Judging from the setting of this level, Liu Qi agrees with Liu Zhong's approach. Although it is a bit cruel, it can truly test a person's courage, the extraordinary courage of not being afraid of death, and not giving up until the goal is achieved.

"The second level is to get riches with bare hands. Fill a large brazier with charcoal fire, throw in dozens of five baht coins with square holes, and only those who can fish out three with bare hands can pass the level." Liu Zhong looked at Liu Qi, who was slightly surprised. , paused, as if waiting for Liu Qi to give a review.

Not to mention three coins, I am afraid that if you can fish out a five baht coin with a square hole in the raging brazier, it will not be a hand. The smell of meat or burnt is destined to waft out of the brazier, will it cause people's attention? Appetite is not clear without experience.While Liu Qi was surprised, he also gave a comment on the second ghost gate: "Finding wealth with bare hands, you can seek wealth in danger."

Liu Zhong was very surprised by Liu Qi's literary talents. He didn't expect Liu Qi, the nephew who seemed to be idle, to see things so profoundly now?Liu Zhong continued: "The third level is to cleanse yourself to show your loyalty. You can lie down in a yard, except for drinking water, and you can pass the level without eating or drinking for ten days."

"What? Ten days! Does the steward mean that if you survive ten days without eating or drinking, you will pass?" Liu Qi was startled, and interrupted Liu Zhong's words.How is this possible?Under normal circumstances, without eating or drinking, a person can live up to three days; if there is some water added, it can last for seven days.But Liu Zhong's requirement is that the selected guards survive ten days, which is already beyond the limit of life, but it is true that Chen Wen, Chen Wu and the other six are alive in the prince's mansion, so Liu Qi is not surprised. Aren't men made of flesh, but made of iron?

"Yes, it's ten days." Liu Zhong didn't think there was anything wrong, and added: "Of course, when you pass the three passes, if you feel that your body can't bear it, you can give up in the middle."

"Then, in the huge Chenjiazhuang, there are Chen Wen, Chen Wu, and the four strong men of spring, summer, autumn and winter who all passed the three ghost gates?" Listening to Liu Zhong's introduction of the three gates, Liu Qi looked at Chen Wen with more respect. The writing is not simple, it looks thin and weak, but it can pass three ghost gates, and it has both literary and military strategies, a genius.

From this point of view, it can be said that Liu Zhong set up the three levels with unique ingenuity. If a person who can pass the three levels and survive, is that called courage?It is simply more daring than people who have eaten all kinds of gall such as leopard gall, snake gall, tiger gall, and bear gall.A personal guard composed of such people can be pulled out to reach thousands of troops?No wonder the butler led a dozen guards to break through the siege without losing a single soldier himself!

Thinking of this, Liu Qi became excited. It seems that God is too discerning. To allow a country’s first-class hero from the previous life to cross over to Liu Qi, he still needs to command thousands of miles of soldiers. Haha, I am destined to be Liu Qi in the past and present Be a hero.Liu Qi was a little bit carried away with excitement, but he was just frantic in his heart, and his face was quite calm, and he was able to calm down after being surprised.

"Yes, the six of Chen Wen passed through the three gates of ghosts. They are not afraid of death. They are very human. Their loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon. My son, there is no doubt about it!" Liu Zhong looked at Liu Qi with a strange expression and remonstrated painfully.

"Why did the housekeeper say this? My son is not old and dim-witted, and he doesn't recognize loyalty and traitors. You in the mansion are my three heads and six arms. How can I cut off my arm? You are loyal and brave, shocking the world, weeping ghosts and gods, and your achievements have shown the sun and the moon. I, Liu Qi, have been lucky in my life, if I dare not seek fame and wealth for you, I, Liu Qi, will be punished by thunder in vain for being a prince!"

Liu Qi spoke boldly in his excitement, expressing his heart directly, and just as he finished speaking, suddenly there was a thunder in the sky, and the ground trembled twice, making the small teacups on the chopping board jump up, as if to remind Liu Qi to remember today's promise.

There was an explosion of thunder, and the ground trembled. The housekeepers Liu Zhong and Chen Wen's faces turned pale with fright. They were stunned for a moment, but found that there was no earthquake or anything. Liu Zhong and Chen Wen looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and suddenly fell to the ground simultaneously. Call out "My lord, my lord."

Liu Qi was also puzzled, one was because he said that the sky was struck by lightning, and the sky really exploded with thunder; the other was whether Liu Zhong and Chen Wen were fooled by the explosion of thunder, what kind of masters don't good sons call?

"Housekeeper, why is this?" Liu Qi stepped forward to help the housekeepers Liu Zhong and Chen Wen. He really didn't understand why the man from the Three Kingdoms, who would kneel at every turn, liked to call the Lord so much.

Liu Zhong smiled strangely, took a step back and remained silent, motioning for Chen Wenlai.

I saw Chen Wen pacing squarely while shaving his short beard, and said: "Your Excellency's words startled the gods. Remind the mortal world, there is a big man coming, and ordinary people may not have such a blessing. This is an auspicious celestial phenomenon. Congratulations, you are blessed by God. Equal to the great blessings of the heavens."

"Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord." As soon as Chen Wen finished speaking, Liu Zhong and Chen Wen paid respects to Liu Qi in a very tacit understanding as if they had discussed it in advance.

"Oh, God help me too." Liu Qi knows that the ancients were superstitious, and Chen Wenshan is good at divination. If this is the case, let's admit it for now. If he can dominate the world in the Three Kingdoms era and become the king and hegemony in the future, it will be blessed by God with his words. Astronomy is the best excuse.

"Two generals, please hurry up. Even if there are gods to help, I must not pretend to be the lord at this time, for fear of causing trouble. I hope that today's affairs will not be rumored. I am the son of the two generals." Since Liu Zhong and Chen Wen He kept calling himself the lord, but he changed the name of the two generals verbally to comfort Liu Zhong and Chen Wen.

"Yes, young master, I understand in my heart." Liu Zhong and Chen Wenqi responded in unison.

"Okay, let's stop with this shocking thing. The steward just said that Chen Wen and Chen Wu are the loyal and brave men in Chenjiazhuang who have passed through three ghost gates. Where did the other fourteen guards come from?"

Liu Qi diverted from the topic of gods, horses and gods, and returned to the main topic. I really can't think of anything about the life experience of the twenty guards in the mansion and the servant girls. It was broken, otherwise it would be interrupted when I kept thinking about one thing. This incompletely recovered memory did cause Liu Qi a lot of trouble.

"The other fourteen loyal guards are the soldiers and aides who have followed the master for many years. The son's mother, Madam Chen, was seriously ill that year. She had a premonition that it would be a troubled year, so she asked the lord to give me the surname Liu. Among the soldiers, fourteen personal soldiers who are capable of recruiting and fighting were selected to serve as guards for the prince's mansion. You know, Mrs. Chen has always been very accurate in seeing people. Liu Yi, Liu Er, Liu Shi, Chen Jin, Chen Yin and others all Loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon, young master, they are equally unquestionable."

Liu Zhong fully stated the origins of the twenty guards in Mr. Liu Qi's mansion. When he spoke, he covered his chest solemnly. Liu Zhong had a 24-hour copy of Mrs. Chen entrusting Liu Zhong to keep it at the right time before he died. Next, submit the top-secret suicide note to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi noticed Liu Zhong's inadvertent movement of covering his chest, thinking that Liu Zhong was injured in the battle in the random cemetery, so he hurriedly cared about it: "Housekeeper, is there a chest pain or injury, why don't you ask Hua Tuo to take a look."

"Ahem, young master, it's okay. I'm sick, and the weather changes, especially when it's raining." Liu Zhong was taken aback, thinking that Liu Qi had discovered the secret in his chest, although this secret would be revealed to Liu Qi sooner or later, but Now is not the time to obey my cousin Mrs. Chen's last wish.

But seeing Liu Qi's expression of concern, Liu Zhong felt relieved again, lied, coughed twice on purpose, and said that the reason why his chest is tight when the weather changes is really unassailable.

"Okay, butler, please take care of yourself." Liu Qi comforted Liu Zhong again, but doubts still lingered in his heart. From what the butler said, the guards in the mansion are absolutely [-]% unquestionable, and the guards in the mansion The servant girls and those mothers of Chen never asked about the housekeeper except for some chores. Although they saw the dead bodies of the four maids of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum lying in the courtyard, they didn't know about the maids burning their bodies to wipe out their traces. , Then how did Cai Mao learn about the butler's burning of the body in the random cemetery?And who leaked out?

There are various indications that the news about the burning of the corpses in the random cemetery was indeed a leak. If the person who leaked the news is not found out, it is like a time bomb hidden in the mansion of the young master Liu Qi, and you don't know where the bomb is hidden. Where, let alone when it will explode, it is a very frightening thing. If it is not done well, I am afraid that the Young Master's Mansion will be destroyed.

"The person who leaked the news is not in the mansion, but who is it?" Liu Qi seemed to ask Liu Zhong and Chen Wen, and seemed to be talking to himself.

Chen Wen also frowned when he heard this, and accompanied his young master Liu Qi to walk up and down in the small living room. Chen Wen's beard, which was not considered long at all, was inadvertently pulled out several times when he was shaving his beard and meditating. Root was unconscious.

The room was very quiet, except for Liu Qi and Chen Wen's thoughtful pacing, Liu Qi, Liu Zhong and Chen Wen all knew that unless the spies were found out, there would be no peace in the manor.

Probably when Chen Wen was pacing back and forth in the living room to the tenth circle, Chen Wen said to Liu Qi with some excitement, like Columbus discovering the New World: "My lord, I know where the problem is."

"Where?" Liu Qi and Liu Zhong asked in unison.

"Hey, the coffin shop." Chen Wen sneered twice, and answered very positively.
