Extra Chapter: Guard Selection 1: Who can stand out from the crowd?

The Royal Saint was aloft, his eyes swept over the tens of thousands of people below him coldly, and finally his eyes moved to the guards outside the crowd.

Many guards appeared in front of the contestants one after another. They didn't know what to do, but seeing these guards who were cold and domineering really made the contestants jealous, and they were so excited that they wanted to become one of them right away.

More than a dozen guards stood in front of the square, including Fu Yushu, Shao Qi and others.

The imperial guards brought tables and chairs one after another and placed them in front of the guards. Next to the table, there was a large box.

Since the tables and chairs are placed on the largest stone platform in the center of the palace above, this square stone platform can accommodate hundreds of people standing. From here, the distance between the emperor and the players is the same length.

All the players can clearly see the situation above.

At this time, Zhang Xiangyang was saying to the contestants, "Although fifty guards will be selected for this Ouchi Guards Selection Competition, which is several times more than before, due to the large number of applicants, there must be a selection process before the official competition.

After a large screening, 5,000 players were selected from 20,000 players. Only the 5,000 players who stand out will be eligible to participate in the first round of the regular competition tomorrow."

There was a commotion below, and most people didn’t expect that there would be a game before the game!

Zhang Xiangyang added: "Friends from all over the world, the time has come to show your abilities. Whether you can persist to the end and become a member of our Ouchi Guards depends on your ability. The five thousand friends who stand out today

, I will still be waiting for you here tomorrow, but for those friends who did not stand out, I can only say that I am very sorry that I will not have the opportunity to meet you here again tomorrow!"

Tang Lin didn't know when she had returned to Yushengjun. She yawned out of boredom, "Ha——"

After seeing his wife yawning, the thin lips under Yu Shengjun's mask pursed his lips in amusement, "Very boring?"

Tang Lin rolled her eyes at him and said, "What do you think? It's all you. You assigned me some useless tasks. I'm almost bored out of my mind."

Yu Shengjun asked funnyly: "Don't you like this job I gave you? I'm afraid you'll be bored. Why don't I find something you're interested in doing for you? Although it's not as exciting as the one arranged by the gods, it's at least exciting.

Almost there."

Tang Lin pursed her lips and said, "It's not that I don't like it, but I'm more interested in training guards." After saying this, she smiled sinisterly, "Hehe, it's much more exciting to be an instructor and train people than to take risks as a player."

Yu Shengjun reached out and poked her head hard, "Little woman, you know she likes excitement."

Tang Lin smiled sweetly. When Yu Shengjun said this to her, she felt full of love coming from him, and she was so happy.

"Let's do this," Yu Shengjun suddenly said seriously, "Linlin, if you can still become the first guard in this term, I will set up a huge training camp. You will still be an instructor as before. How do you want to train me?"

Guard, it’s up to you, okay?”

After hearing this, Tang Lin's eyes shone brightly, and she twisted her fingers together with excitement, "Really, Junjun? Do you have the idea of ​​setting up a training camp?"

He raised his chin and looked at her, his seriousness unquestionable, "Don't you know there is an idiom 'Jin Mou Yu Yu'? As long as you become the number one guard in this year's Ouchi Guard Selection Competition, I will satisfy you and establish a training camp.

how?"

"Okay, okay," Tang Lin happily agreed, but after a while the excitement disappeared, and she said with a face, "Wait a minute." She was so happy that she didn't even think about the consequences of agreeing.

Yu Shengjun looked at the face that suddenly lost its vivid expression and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Have you changed your mind?"

She squinted at him with distrustful eyes, "Junjun, do you have any purpose?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Shengjun immediately spread his hands and smiled innocently, "What purpose can I have? Linlin, don't look at me with that look, as if I have plotted against you."

Tang Lin stressed, "Isn't the Emperor plotting against his concubines?"

"This," Yu Shengjun was speechless and felt aggrieved for himself, "Where can it be?"

Tang Lin pursed her lips and said angrily: "Junjun, at least you have taken a trip to the modern world. You have learned almost all the knowledge of that world. Plus you are already very smart. So what will happen to this bodyguard selection competition?"

The competition subjects must be much better than the last one. Besides, you also said that it is an upgraded version. If I become a contestant, I will be stripped of my skin by you. How can I win in the end?"

"Linlin, you are so smart, you will definitely be able to pass the test and win. When will the questions I ask be able to stump you, right?"

"Really? Can I really win?"

A certain monarch watched his beloved concubine being slowly persuaded by him, and felt extremely proud of himself. On the surface, he encouraged him contrary to his heart, "Come on, my Linlin is invincible in the world."

"Junjun, you are already invincible, how can I still be invincible?" His words were very contradictory.

"Uh! Together we are invincible, together we are invincible, Jun Lin is invincible in the world!"

Tang Lin wiped away her sweat. The man looked so cute, which really made people hard to express.

"Master, can we start?" The pre-game was ready. Zhang Xiangyang turned back and asked Yu Shengjun that this matter could only be carried out after the emperor ordered it.

Yu Shengjun changed his previous good temper and said seriously: "Let's get started."

"Yes." Zhang Xiangyang responded respectfully, then turned around and said loudly to the people below: "What kind of person does the Ouchi Guards want? Strong martial arts is the second, and a smart head is the most important. This

The main test before the competition is whether you are smart or not, and how smart you are. Considering the limited time, the questions for this competition are based on guessing materials that are loved by people all over the world. Every year during the Lantern Festival, I want to

Everyone must have been exposed to puzzles, and today, the more contestants guess correctly, the greater the chance of passing. Those who fail to win a question will unfortunately have to go home and wait for the next trial.

Let’s try again. Next, please line up. Each guard represents a team for screening. There are fifteen teams to choose from. Please start standing in line. When the guards of each team call, the one at the front can go up.

Guess the question."

Next, it took the players some time to line up.

Lu Yitang was the first to shout to the players, "First one, come up."

The first player in his team, upon hearing his call, immediately walked quickly up the more than twenty stone steps to the widest stone platform, stood in front of the table, and sat opposite the Luyi Hall.

Lu Yitang took a look at the player. He was a young man with average appearance and dark skin. He looked like a woodcutter who went to the mountains to cut firewood all year round. He bent down and took out a stack of paper from the open box and wrote the puzzle.

paper, handed one of them to the young man, "guess the answer to the riddle."

The young man took the paper and looked at it carefully, and then seemed to be racking his brains to think of the word, "What, who is that person?"

Lu Yitang immediately concluded in his heart that the contestant in front of him was destined to be eliminated. He did not despise the opponent, but patiently explained and reminded him, "He is blind. The Ouchi guards cannot read and cannot be hired."

Hearing this, the young man's expression froze. What? If you don't know how to read, you can't be an Ouchi guard?

Seeing the man's stiff expression as if he had been struck by lightning, Lu Yitang shook his head with deep sympathy, then took the paper back from the young man's hand and shouted down: "Next one."

A guard behind Lu Yitang stepped forward, took the young man's hand, and said expressionlessly: "Let's go."

Tang Lin watched the young and strong male contestant being taken away, and felt deep sympathy. Not everyone can be an Ouchi bodyguard, alas.

"Junjun, let me go down and take a look." With that, Tang Lin picked up her feet and ran down.

Even though he was a woman with great martial arts and would not get into trouble easily, seeing Tang Lin running so fast made Yu Shengjun's heart tighten more or less, and he was really worried about whether Tang Lin would fall down.

After interviewing three contestants in a row, none of them could solve the puzzle in their hands. Lu Yitang couldn't help but worry about the recruitment of talents for the Guard Department. "The puzzle Miss Tang presented is really weird. How many people can see the mystery in it?"

, I am afraid that the results of this trial will be unsatisfactory..."

"Yitang, what are you muttering about alone? What's going on now?" Tang Lin suddenly appeared next to Lu Yitang and asked.

Lu Yitang was slightly shocked. He did not expect Tang Lin to appear suddenly, but he quickly recovered. "Miss Tang, the questions you asked are too weird. You have already stumped the three contestants."

"Really? Let me take a look." Tang Lin took the paper in Lu Yitang's hand and took a look. She saw two words "blind man" written on the paper. She suddenly laughed and said: "It's not weird, and it's very simple!"

Lu Yitang looked a little ugly, "If it had something on it, it wouldn't be so weird, and it would be easier to guess."

Tang Lin said: "If it is specified which category to play, how can we test the players' brains? How can we test their adaptability?"

Feeling that what Tang Lin said made sense, Lu Yitang stopped continuing the topic. He shouted down, "Next one."

Tang Lin looked down and saw that the person coming up this time was an acquaintance - Mu Wan.

Lu Yitang thought that this wooden bowl was not very literate, so she might be confused by the puzzle.

"Little Sister Tang." Muwan called Tang Lin happily.

Tang Lin smiled back, and then asked feebly: "I said Muwan, why are you here to join in the fun with everyone?"

Muwan smiled ashamedly and explained: "Half a month ago, the princes visited the Eighth Prince's house and mentioned this matter in the casual conversation. On a whim, the princes all wanted to try to win the game through their own abilities, so everyone

I decided to sign up because this guard selection competition does not restrict women to participate, and someone casually mentioned that princesses can also try, and maybe they will become the second one... Tang Lin."

Lu Yitang wanted to say that it was just a dream. Who was Miss Tang? Not even a man could do anything to her, let alone a woman.

Tang Lin encouraged Muwan, "Come on, I'm waiting for you to surpass me!" Surpass? Oh, I'm waiting to see how you women, who don't know your own abilities and don't know the heights of the world, will be tortured to the point where you can't stand it every day, and the earth and the earth can't help it.

Spiritual.

Tang Lin's encouragement gave Muwan great motivation. Now as a princess, Muwan didn't want to be content with other princesses. In this way, she would not lose face to her man. "Well, I will definitely do my best.

I worked hard until the end, thank you Miss Tang for supporting Wan'er so much."

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and let's guess the puzzle." Tang Lin handed the puzzle that had stumped the three contestants into Muwan's hands.

Muwan read it carefully, "Blind man...what does this mean?"

Tang Lin smiled and asked: "Then what meaning do you want to give it?"

Muwan frowned and said: "The puzzles I usually come across always indicate what to hit, but this puzzle is very strange. It only has the word 'blind man'."

"What do you think the answer to it is most likely to be?"

Muwan thought for a while, and then with some uncertainty he gave the answer that made Tang Lin look at her with admiration, "Is it 'shrimp'?"

Yeah! Tang Lin was shocked, "How did you figure out the answer was 'shrimp'?"

Muwan explained: "A blind person is a person who is blind. The word "blind" means "shrimp", which sounds exactly the same. That's how I understand it. I just need to trouble the guard to tell me whether the answer is like this.

Lu Yitang was completely impressed by the wooden bowl. He said slightly excitedly: "Congratulations to the third princess, the answer to the riddle is correct, it is indeed 'shrimp'."

Muwan was pleasantly surprised, "Really? I guessed it right? Oh my God, I guessed it right." She turned to Tang Lin excitedly, "Little Sister Tang, I guessed it right, I really guessed it right."

"Congratulations to Muwan, but you can't be too happy because starting from tomorrow, there are still many difficulties to challenge, but I have to say again, keep going."

In this way, Muwan entered the pending state. If the number of people who solved the first question was more than 5,000, she would continue to solve the problem. If the number was not higher, she would pass the pre-competition with one question.

Tang Lin left Lu Yitang and went next door to explore. This time it was Fu Yushu who was selecting the contestants.

Someone was thinking about the answer to the riddle. Fu Yushu waited patiently. Tang Lin came up and asked him, "I heard that the former concubine also came to join in the fun. Is there any trace of your Shihe?"

Maybe it was a bit nonsense about his own woman participating in the competition. Fu Yushu said without enthusiasm, "She is still at the back. She will always be passive. Everyone else is participating. How can she be missing?"

Tang Lin asked treacherously: "You will definitely take care of her at all times, right? You are an examiner and you have the right to cheat for your own people."

Fu Yushu sweated profusely, "Where are you thinking?"
