According to Jiang Chen's calculations, although the strange thing in this medicine garden indicates a bad omen, it has not yet come to be fulfilled, and it is imperative that Jiang Chen rush back to the royal capital to recover his life.
"Xiaoyu, remember my words, that medicine garden is blocked, don't let anyone in or out. "This great omen, in Jiang Chen's opinion, is two or three years fast, seven or eight years slow, and there is still time to deal with it.
Bidding farewell to the Bauhinia Department, Jiang Chen went back to Bojiang City and said goodbye to Jiang Tong. With a group of new and old subordinates, he embarked on the journey back to the royal capital.
Along the way, Jiang Chen hurried during the day, and at night he supervised the cultivation of this group of guards, instructed them in martial arts, and taught them formations.
Originally, it was only a three- or four-day trip, but it took ten days to reach the royal capital.
It's just that after the past ten days, whether it is Jiang Chen or these eight personal guards, their cultivation has improved again.
Back in the royal capital, this mission cycle only took about twenty-six or seven days.
"Jiang Chen, the second first-grade mission, recruit eight guards. Must be under the age of twenty and have a cultivation of six veins of true qi or above!"
"This is my personal guard list, which contains their information, identity, and origin. ”
Jiang Chen handed over the information of the eight guards.
The data review was correct, and the reviewer said: "This task must require every personal guard to pass the force assessment requirements. ”
"How?"
"There are two procedures, the first is that they go to participate in the assessment of the six veins of true qi one by one. The procedure is relatively simple. The reviewer replied.
"The second procedure is to ask them to go to the arena and fight against the eight sixth-order puppets. Eight sixth-level puppeteers must be defeated within the specified time! The time is very short, only half a pillar of incense. ”
The first procedure, that's a dead routine, there is no skill at all. When Jiang Chen participated in the basic assessment, he also went to the test.
This procedure is simple and cannot be faked.
The second procedure is a bit more complicated. After all, in the time of half a pillar of incense, it is still a little difficult to defeat eight puppets who are equivalent to the six veins of true qi powerhouse.
If Jiang Chen didn't prepare for it, after the eight places were filled, he hurried to resume his life, and it was very likely that he would lose in this assessment.
Now, Jiang Chen is ready to give a hand. Not only did he raise all eight guards to the seven-vein true qi, but he also passed on their formations and assigned their martial arts.
In this way, this second assessment procedure is relatively much more certain.
In the first procedure, under Jiang Chen's advice, the eight people did not show their eyes, and only entered the six veins of true qi, and then stopped, and did not expose the hole cards all at once.
Passed the level without a hitch.
During the whole process, Princess Goyu had been paying attention to it, and she was slightly relieved to see that the eight personal guards recruited by Jiang Chen had all passed the six-vein true qi assessment.
She has always been worried, worried that Jiang Chen does not have enough control, not enough appeal, and not enough recruitment. Now it seems that he is still worried in vain.
As for the second assessment procedure, Princess Magatama was not too worried. What kind of person is Jiang Chen? Even a true qi master like Princess Goyu, Jiang Chen can give a pointer or two. Isn't it easy to teach a few followers of the Six Veins True Qi?
When he came to the arena, Jiang Chen found that this place was very lively.
At the same time, it was also discovered that he was not the only one who carried out this recruitment task.
Almost all the children of the princes who compete for the first rank have to perform the same task. In the arena, all the familiar faces seemed to be smiling when they saw Jiang Chen.
At this point, everyone is a competitor.
Long Yinye, Long Juxue, these two brothers and sisters are naturally impressive.
There is also Hong Tiantong, the heir of the Vermilion Bird Marquis, who is also a loyal supporter of Long Juxue, and as the heir of one of the four princes, he is naturally in the arena at this moment.
In addition, Bai Zhanyun, the heir of the White Tiger Hou, Yi Taichu, the descendant of the Xuanwu Marquis, etc., are all the heirs of the princes of the Eastern Kingdom.
When these people saw Jiang Chen, some of them were full of hostility, and some of them smiled slightly and said hello.
Among them, Yan Yiming, the descendant of the Marquis of Yanmen, saw Jiang Chen, but now he didn't dare to provoke anymore, but turned his head hatefully, turned his face away, and turned a blind eye to Jiang Chen.
"Heritage, this is the heritage!" Hong Tiantong's untimely voice sounded behind Jiang Chen, "We, the princes of Yipin, recruited eight personal guards, and we all completed it early. Unlike some nouveau riche, who have no background, but they want to reach the sky in one step, and today, they have barely completed it. Whether or not we can pass this second assessment is still unknown!"
Now Bai Zhanyun and Yi Taichu have seen through Long Juxue, and they know how stupid it was to use Long Juxue as a gun before.
However, they didn't give Long Juxue a gun, but Hong Tiantong was happy to serve.
Even if he can't please Long Juxue's heart, if he can have a good relationship with the Longteng Marquis Mansion, Hong Tiantong is very happy. He did this, not only to please Long Juxue, but also to show Long Yinye.
After all, Long Yinye is the concubine of Long Tenghou, and he will definitely inherit the throne in the future.
Hong Tiantong's yin and yang weirdness, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, is obviously aimed at Jiang Chen.
It's just that Jiang Chen is not interested in arguing with such a boring person at the moment.
Instead, he handed the assessment card to the examiner, who glanced at it and said, "Arena No. 7, in half an hour, the assessment will start at the same time." ”
"Jiang Chen, what Hong Tiantong said is not wrong. Some things still have to pay attention to some background. Look at the guards you are looking for, from which rural areas did they come from? Can this kind of country warrior take on a heavy responsibility?"
Long Yinye is different from Hong Tiantong, who he wants to provoke and suppress, he will definitely not beat around the bush, but go straight to the point.
"Ha Luha, if they are crooked melons and cracked dates, it seems to be a little cruel. But Brother Jiang Chen, these people you are looking for are a little too dirty, right? By the way, this person looks a little familiar? Isn't it the one who is the grandson of Mrs. Guo? If I remember correctly, his father is a well-known deserter in the royal capital, right?"
Hong Tiantong saw Long Yinye coming out, and he was even more energetic, and he also walked over.
"Hong Tiantong, you're provoking me, I didn't understand it wrong, right?" Jiang Chen smiled faintly.
Hong Tiantong stood behind Long Yinye, feeling full of confidence, and his chest straightened: "If you have to think like this, then take it as such! I, Hong someone, just can't get used to seeing an upstart like you." What status, what to do. How can you of the Jiang family, dare to compete for the position of the princes of Yipin?"
Putting qualifications and status on the basis is the usual routine of these so-called aristocrats.
However, Jiang Chen has never been a person who plays cards according to routines.
His eyes glanced at Hong Tiantong with a relaxed and freehand glance: "What's the use of talking so much nonsense? You look down on my guards? It's very simple, call out your eight guards." Try it out on the spot. Anyway, there is still half an hour before the assessment, so instead of everyone being bored and waiting here, it is better to have some fun for everyone, don't you say?"
Jiang Chen couldn't see that Guo Jin's eyes were already about to erupt with fire. This Hong Tiantong's evaluation of "deserter" deeply pierced Guo Jin's nerves.
As a boss, Jiang Chen naturally has to maintain the dignity of his subordinates.
"Competition?" Long Yinye's eyes lit up slightly, and he looked at Hong Tiantong, "Tiantong, you Vermilion Bird Marquis Mansion is also one of the four princes. Will he be intimidated by an inferior prince?"
Hong Tiantong was very scheming, and thought for a while, among his eight personal guards, there was an eight-pulse true qi, three seven-pulse true qi, and four, all of which were the existence of the peak of the six-pulse true qi.
Such a configuration, compared with Long Yinfeng's personal guards, must be a gap. But compared with the children of the other four princes, it will definitely not be inferior.
Jiang Chen, a mere second-grade prince, and in a remote place like Jiang Hanling, how many young geniuses can be recruited?
The personal guard competition, he Jiang Chen can't make a move, what are you afraid of him?
Hong Tiantong calculated and calculated, and felt that if this was a competition, his side would be sure to win. After all, none of Jiang Chen's subordinates were outstanding at a glance.
And on his side, just one eight-vein true qi is enough to crush three or four six-vein true qi. There are also three seven-vein true qi, and they are not vegetarians.
Thinking of this, Hong Tiantong's heart moved, revealing a sinister smile: "Competition, it's not impossible! But the assessment is imminent, if there are three long and two short, how can it be calculated?"
Long Yinye said impatiently: "There are no eyes in the fists and feet, if there are three long and two short, then I think I am unlucky." Jiang Chen, you said yes, right?"
Don't look at this dragon Yinye seems to be rude, but in fact, the intentions are sinister, this is the use of agitation against Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was secretly amused, but he deliberately said angrily: "You think you are unlucky? You still don't want to make my Jiang Hanhou Mansion lose face and make me fail the assessment?"
Long Yinye smiled: "Jiang Chen, if you are afraid of affecting the assessment, it is okay to admit defeat." After all, this competition is voluntary, and no one can force it. ”
"Withdrawing from the battle, that's cowardly behavior. Yan Yiming on the side said coldly.
Jiang Chen smiled: "Hong Tiantong, they are roasting you and me on the fire, what do you say?"
When Hong Tiantong saw Jiang Chen like this, he was even more proud when he was timid, and said with a smile: "I, the Marquis of Vermilion Bird's Mansion, how can I be a person who spoils the scenery?
"Compare?" Jiang Chen asked in accordance with Hong Tiantong's tone.
"Than!" Hong Tiantong glanced at Long Juxue with pride. It seemed that seeing Long Juxue Zhen's head slightly, he seemed to approve of his move.
In this way, Hong Tiantong is even more motivated.
"In half an hour, everyone will give up a vacant lot. The heirs of the Marquis of Vermilion Bird and the Marquis of Jiang Han are going to send their respective guards to compete in martial arts. ”
Long Yinye's words had the effect of clearing the scene. People from all sides stepped back one after another, making way of a large open area.
"You all one, what are you doing here? The hidden dragon will try, is it child's play?" I don't know when, Princess Magatama appeared majestically.
Princess Magatama, who has eleven veins of true qi, is now undoubtedly the top powerhouse of the kingdom, and as soon as she appeared, the atmosphere of the scene immediately became complicated.
Hong Tiantong was originally vigorous and high-spirited, but at this moment, he also subconsciously stood behind Long Yinye, hoping to use Long Yinye's aura to resist the anger of Princess Magata.
