I'm not a god of wine

Chapter 30 Official Duty
Xu Le just smiled and said righteously.

"I feel that since joining the army, you should go to the most dangerous place and suffer the most. Only in this way can you protect your family and country and live up to your youth. What do you think?"

The captain of the city defense school was shocked again.

He looked at Xu Le from puzzlement to admiration, nodded and said: "Yes, what you said is very good. Boy, I underestimated you earlier, your name is Xu Le, right?"

"Exactly."

"Work hard. If you can persevere in the city gate guard, I will mention you as the leader." The captain of the city defense school patted Xu Le on the shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement.

"Thank you, Captain."

Xu Le was excited and thanked him quickly, but he smiled wryly in his heart.

The military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty was inherited from the previous dynasty, with some changes, a total of twelve levels from low to high, divided into pawns, corps chiefs, super chiefs, capital heads, school lieutenants, captains, commanders, chief soldiers, generals, General, Marquis, Jiedushi.

Dutou is considered the highest rank among junior officers, and his subordinates can be in charge of a hundred soldiers.

The school lieutenant is the starting level of a mid-level officer, and he can command five hundred soldiers under his command. The city defense school lieutenant can promise Xu Le a position as the head of the capital, obviously he values ​​him very much.

If it were an ordinary person, he would be ecstatic at this moment, but Xu Le really doesn't want to be a leader in everything.

He just wants to stay at home, drink, and practice, the kind that doesn't come out of the gate.

After encouraging Xu Le, the captain of the city defense school took Xu Le to the armament department and received a new set of standard armor and a spear.

Putting on the armor and taking the spear, Xu Le's bookishness was slightly concealed, and he looked like a heroic soldier.

The captain of the city defense school looked at his attire and couldn't help laughing: "That's right, he finally looks like a soldier."

"Your Excellency, I dare to ask you, which city gate is it that I am guarding?" Xu Le asked.

The captain of the city defense school thought for a while and said, "You go to the south gate. There is a lack of a city guard on duty. Remember to abide by military discipline when on duty and not to disturb the people at will. Anyone who violates the law will be punished with twenty military sticks."

"Yes." Xu Le accepted the order with a solemn face.

Under the south gate, a chief took Xu Le to the gate of the city.

"From now on, you are my kind of person. Where is your position, if you encounter suspicious people, you will go forward and check. After sunset, someone will naturally take over. You go back to the barracks to rest with the brothers on duty. Can."

"clear."

Xu Le nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Master Shichang."

"Huh? What's the problem?" Shi Chang looked at him.

"I want to ask, when is the meal in the camp?"

"..."

When Shi Chang heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. This was the first time a newcomer asked when the meal was served when he first arrived. Could this little boy be a foodie?

This little boy was airborne from above, so he should have some background, although Shi Chang was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to offend him, so he opened his mouth and said.

"Dinner at Xushi, bedtime at Haishi, and on-duty at Maoshi, do you have any questions?"

Xu Le did some calculations in his mind, that is, he had dinner at seven o'clock in the evening, went to bed around nine o'clock, and got up at five o'clock in the morning to clock in for work.

The time schedule is not too tight. The period between eating and going to bed is the time when people are most relaxed. He can take the opportunity to touch the location of the big eyes of the moat and destroy it.

"No problem." Xu Le shook his head.

Shichang left. As an officer, he didn't have to stand in the sun like soldiers on duty.

Xu Le came to the position pointed by Shi Chang and stood there, leaning on a spear in one hand, staring straight ahead, standing upright and meticulous, like a straight javelin.

He demanded himself according to the standards of the instructors when he went to military training in the previous life.

There were seven soldiers on duty with him. Unlike Xu Le, these seven stood crookedly and loosely. In contrast, Xu Le stood out from the crowd.

The people who entered and exited the city gate also looked at Xu Le more, and the return rate was almost 100%.

Seeing Xu Le's appearance, some older girls and daughters-in-law blushed even more and laughed a lot.

Xu Le stood there motionless like a wooden man, without any reaction.

The seven soldiers who were on duty with Xu Le suddenly felt sour. They are all city gate guards, so why do you show off like this?

Look at those girls, every one of them can't get their eyes off this little boy.

"Hey, new here, what's your name?" A soldier couldn't help asking Xu Le.

Xu Le glanced at him, but didn't speak.

According to the rules, when the city gate guards are on duty, they are not allowed to speak casually, but obviously, this rule has become a dead letter, and no one takes it seriously.

"Boy, aren't you tired from standing like this? Relax a bit and see how many of us are here."

"Are you deaf? I'm talking to you!"

"It seems that he is really deaf. Brothers, just ignore him. I'll see how long he can stand."

Seeing that Xu Le remained silent all the time, a group of soldiers suddenly became upset. They all held the mentality of watching a joke, and looked forward to the moment when Xu Le couldn't stand up and made a fool of himself.

however……

A stick of incense passed.

Half an hour passed.

In the blink of an eye, two hours passed.

The sun has already set to the west, but Xu Le has been standing there upright, tall and straight, as straight as a green pine, and has not moved from the beginning to the end.

Several soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, with a hint of horror in their eyes.

"This guy, he... how long has he been standing?"

"Two and a half hours, for God's sake, are his legs made of iron?"

"This little boy has two brushes. Brothers, let's stand too. We can't let this little boy make jokes."

"Yes, he can do it, so can we!"

Several soldiers looked at each other, raised their heads and chests together, stood with their heads held high, without squinting.

The people passing by looked at these city gate guards strangely. When did Jialing City's city guards become so good?
After just half an hour, some people couldn't hold on any longer, their legs and feet began to tremble, and the sweat on their faces slid down their foreheads and down their necks.

"Damn, I can't do it, I can't do it, my leg... I can't feel it."

"Pervert, not human, I admit defeat."

"If you want to stand, you stand. I'll hold on for a while. I'm so fucking brain-twitched. I'll suffer with you."

Several soldiers leaned against the wall complaining, and only one person remained, still persisting.

This person happened to be standing opposite Xu Le, his eyes were staring like copper bells, his face was flushed red, he was fighting with Xu Le, and he was still unwilling to admit defeat.

"Old Six, it's all right, don't hold on, let's rest for a while."

"Yeah brother six, this little boy is a fool, he asks for trouble, don't be silly with him."

"Give up, it's too difficult, what's the use of standing up well."

Several soldiers tried to persuade them one after another, but the soldier named Lao Liu persisted and refused to give up.

Xu Le's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Putting the physical fitness of my eighth-rank martial artist here, let alone one hour, it is easy to stand for twelve hours.

And the person in front of him was just an ordinary person, at most he could be regarded as a third-rate expert in the Houtian Realm. It was beyond Xu Le's expectations to be able to stand for so long.

As time passed, Xu Le's eyes also showed a look of admiration, this guy is a talent.

Finally, it's time to step down.

The city gate guard who came to change shifts came over.

Xu Le twisted his body, making a series of explosive noises all over his body, and walked forward with a calm demeanor, intending to take over.

At this moment, there was an exclamation from behind.

"Sixth!"

"Sixth brother!"

Xu Le looked back, only to see that the soldier named Lao Liu swayed and fell directly to the ground.
