"Well!" Liu Chan said: "I just plan to select a few scouts and then train them."
"Training?"
"Yes!"
"When I have trained them all," Liu Chan said, "let them follow the prime minister to the battlefield. This can be regarded as my contribution to the revival of the Han Dynasty."
Alas——
Fei Yi sighed silently in his heart.
To revive the Han Dynasty, we still have to rely on the prime minister.
However, he could not dampen the emperor's interest, so he followed Liu Chan to Zhuge Qiao's residence in Dongcheng according to Liu Chan's wishes.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Suddenly the cry of killing rang out, and more than a hundred Guards soldiers who had been imprisoned for two days suddenly became energetic.
"What's going on?"
"There seems to be a fight outside!"
"They should be here to save us."
"..."
Everyone was talking about each other, and they were arrested for no apparent reason.
Then came another interrogation and another whipping.
But these two days.
Except for the men in black who come to deliver meals to them every day, no one pays any attention to them.
What on earth is going on?
There are many possibilities for their guesses, but they mainly focus on two of them.
The first possibility: His Majesty the Emperor's assessment has been advanced, and they have now entered the assessment period.
The second possibility: People from Cao Wei and Dongwu infiltrated into Chengdu.
They prefer to believe that it is the first possibility, because it is just a test.
If it is the second type, things may be serious.
Now the Prime Minister is fighting the rebellion in Nanzhong. They arrested people near the palace so easily. What is their purpose?
It must be Emperor Liu Chan——
Know the emperor's whereabouts.
Then?
I dare not think that if Prime Minister Zhuge Liang is no longer in Chengdu, Cao Wei and Dongwu will take the opportunity to send people into Chengdu to capture Emperor Liu Chan, or directly assassinate him.
Chengdu will be in chaos.
Once chaos breaks out in Chengdu, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang will not be able to return in time.
Then Chengdu will be in danger.
Maybe Chengdu will become a battlefield soon.
In comparison, they are more willing to believe that this is just Emperor Liu Chan's assessment of them.
But suddenly there were swords and soldiers outside.
What does this mean?
The court knew they were caught.
So come here to save them?
Just as the sergeants leaned against the window and looked out nervously, the shouts of killing became increasingly clear.
Not long after, some soldiers rushed in holding torches.
"We are here!"
"We are here!"
The imprisoned soldiers of the Guards Battalion shouted loudly. They saw clearly the uniforms of the soldiers who came in.
They are also from the Guards Camp.
When the soldiers heard the sound, they ran over, slashed the iron lock with their swords, and released them.
"Let's go!"
The rescuing soldiers led Guo Wei and the others and trotted all the way to the courtyard.
It was late at night.
Everything is dark, the fighting outside has ended, and there are some men in black lying on the ground.
"Go back to the Guards Camp first."
A man who looked like a general said to Guo Wei and others, and then left some people to clean up the mess.
Imperial Guard Camp——
Located on the east side of the Chengdu Imperial Palace, this barracks is only separated by a wall from the Imperial Palace.
On weekdays, only those on duty will go to the palace, while the rest will stay in the guard camp for training.
Royal Palace Guards.
It is generally difficult to encounter combat.
If they all have to fight, unless someone launches a mutiny or the enemy has already attacked the capital.
Return to the Guards Camp.
Guo Wei met an acquaintance, and he entered the dilapidated house prepared for them by Emperor Liu Chan with him.
"Zhou Qiquan?" Guo Wei asked: "Were you not arrested?"
"Caught?" Zhou Qiquan said: "I have not made any mistakes, who will come to arrest me?"
Zhou Qiquan said it lightly, but Guo Wei always felt that there was something wrong with him.
"Could it be that you were arrested by someone?" Zhou Qiquan asked curiously: "Who arrested you, what they arrested you for, and how did you get out?"
Guo Wei was stunned for a moment and did not answer. He and Zhou Qiquan usually have a good relationship.
Zhou Qiquan really likes gossip.
But——
Guo Wei turned around and went to another courtyard, but Zhou Qiquan followed behind him and asked questions.
He seems to be quite interested in Guo Wei being arrested.
"Hey! Guo Wei!"
"What's wrong with you kid?"
"What are you running for?"
"I didn't run?"
"Then tell me!"
"Who caught you?"
Guo Wei suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "I was not arrested by anyone, I was just joking with you."
"Nonsense!" Zhou Qiquan said: "We are good brothers, is it necessary to hide it from me?"
"I didn't hide it from you, I really wasn't caught!"
Guo Wei has already discovered the clues and seems to have guessed the cause and effect of this matter.
This was an abnormality for Zhou Qiquan, which made him alert.
They went together to the ruined courtyard arranged by the emperor. Guo Wei and more than a hundred people were arrested, and then they were asked a few questions by the men in black, whipped several times, and then imprisoned for two days.
Only tonight did the people from the Imperial Guard Camp rescue them.
Originally, Guo Wei thought that the person who arrested them was not His Majesty the Emperor.
Otherwise, the Imperial Guards Battalion would not have rescued them.
But now he feels that the person who captured them is Emperor Liu Chan.
Liu Chan did this.
It's just testing them.
Guo Wei couldn't understand why Zhou Qiquan was not arrested, but he didn't intend to find out.
At the same time, in response to Zhou Qiquan's curiosity, he chose to answer the question incorrectly, and may still be taking the test now.
Perhaps if Zhou Qiquan is told who caught him, his assessment will be over.
He wants to be the emperor's personal soldier.
He has to pass the test.
I was arrested and interrogated before, it was an assessment.
Now that I have been rescued and questioned again, maybe I am also being assessed.
Guo Wei is very smart.
His guess was correct, the assessment was indeed taking place now, and this was arranged by Fei Yi.
Because it’s not just Guo Wei who is being questioned.
Other people who were rescued were also surrounded by people they were familiar with.
These people may be their former friends, brothers in life and death, or women with whom they have no clear relationship.
In short, why did these people get arrested?
What kind of person is Emperor Liu Chan?
These various questions suddenly made me particularly interested.
Anyone who answers the other party's question will be informed that they have been eliminated.
Zhou Qiquan was also arrested before, but during the first interrogation, he was whipped twice and then surrendered.
At that time, he just thought that if he didn't take action, if the other party really wanted to kill him, wouldn't he die unjustly?
Who knew it was an assessment?
Now that he has been eliminated, Fei Yi asked him to torment Guo Wei again.
They were good friends before.
Zhou Qiquan could have told Guo Wei directly, but he wanted to test his friend to see if he could withstand the test.
Unexpectedly, his words and deeds made Guo Wei discover the problem. No matter how he asked, Guo Wei would not tell him the answer he wanted to know.
Soon.
The second round of assessment is announced to be over.
There are only forty-two people who passed the assessment.
Everyone else will be eliminated.
