"Chen Baihu, let's talk about this later. You came back just in time today, and I just have something to discuss with you." Zhang Yanling said solemnly.
"What are your orders, sir?" Chen Shiyi cupped his hands and asked.
"That's right. I saw your subordinates, and to be honest, I was very disappointed. How could my personal guards be such a loose group of people? They looked old, weak, sick, and undisciplined. I didn't dare.
I expect that group of people to be my personal guards. To put it bluntly, I can't protect them enough. Therefore, I want to eliminate all these people and go home, and choose other available people. I originally wanted to do this a few days ago
I did it, but after thinking about it, it would be better to wait for Chen Baihu to come back and tell you. Chen Baihu, what do you think? You definitely don’t want your subordinates to be like that. This group of people may not be able to perform their duties of protecting the officer.
Responsibility." Zhang Yanling said.
When Chen Shi heard this, his expression changed, and he raised his hands and said, "Do you want to expel them all?"
Zhang Yanling said: "There's no use keeping them. I've been going to the back station every day to observe these days. They only bask in the sun and sleep. Their discipline is loose and they don't look like a royal guard. I think it's better to send them home."
.Jinyiwei Yamen is not their place, and it is difficult for them to fulfill their responsibilities."
Chen Shiyi frowned and remained silent.
Zhang Yanling said: "What? Does Chen Baihu think there is anything wrong? Don't worry, send these people away. I will select capable people to join the personal guards. You will not become a bare-bones person. There will be more useful people under my command."
manpower."
Chen Shiyi cupped his hands and said, "Sir, can you... be accommodating?"
Zhang Yanling said in a deep voice: "Chen Baihu, I am not discussing with you, I am informing you. Since we are my own bodyguards, we must protect my safety. Do you think these people can protect me?"
Chen Shiyi said in a deep voice: "Sir, we don't actually need them. One person with a humble position can protect you. Please show your respect and don't dismiss them."
Zhang Yanling looked at Chen Shiyi and frowned: "Are you alone? Chen Baihu has such a loud tone."
Chen Shiyi said in a deep voice: "My lord, please move."
Zhang Yanling was suspicious, but when she saw Chen Shiyi quickly walking out of the public house and outside the house, Zhang Yanling also walked out of the house and followed Chen Shiyi to the open space between a few big trees behind the public house.
"Chen Baihu, what are you going to do?" Zhang Yanling asked loudly.
Chen Shi stepped back and turned around, cupped his hands and held his fists, without saying anything. But suddenly, there was a sound in the Canglang, and a sharp long knife popped out from his waist and came to his hand. The sun shone on the blade, and a golden light shone brightly.
It was eye-catching. The next moment, the sword began to fly, and it was seen tossing and turning, flying and slashing high, vigorous and flexible. The long sword in the hand was dancing with the wind, with the faint sound of wind and thunder breaking through the air. Each move was swift and fierce.
Suddenly, Chen Shi shouted loudly, and the sword light in his hand instantly turned into more than a dozen, and then dozens to hundreds. His movements became faster and faster, and the sword light became more and more dense. At a certain moment, four people were struck by the sword light.
The overflowing sword light actually completely enveloped his tall body, and his entire body seemed to disappear in an instant, completely hidden in the golden light.
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out. The light of the sword disappeared instantly, and with a sound of waves, Chen Shiyi had already sheathed the sword and stood with his hands folded. Around him, broken branches and dead leaves swayed down, as if a rain had fallen.
It rains generally.
Zhang Yanling was dumbfounded. Even though he was well-informed and had hundreds of years more experience than the people here. However, this was the first time he saw someone display such martial arts in front of him. Although in later generations, he has been so successful in TV and movies.
There are a lot of fancy martial arts moves, but everyone knows they are fake. However, everything in front of you is real.
"Bah bang bang." Zhang Yanling couldn't help but clapped her hands. This was admiration from the bottom of her heart.
Not far away came the noisy applause and cheers of many people. It was the admiration of the beggars-like guards at the Guard station. Along with the cheers, they also ran over one after another, cheering.
While raising his thumb towards Chen Shiyi, he praised.
Chen Shiyi walked towards Zhang Yanling slowly, with a slight sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that he had spent a lot of energy just now in order to show Zhang Yanling his martial arts skills.
"Chen Baihu's good kung fu is eye-opening. I really didn't expect it." Zhang Yanling praised with paws.
Chen Shiyi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your compliments, sir, for making me laugh. I am lazy because of my humble position. I haven't practiced martial arts for a long time, and I feel a lot rusty."
Zhang Yanling laughed and said: "You call this unfamiliarity? Chen Baihu is too humble. With all due respect, this is the first time I have seen a master of martial arts. No wonder it is written in your file that you entered the Imperial Guard with martial arts. It turns out that it is true.
The martial arts skills are there."
Chen Shi nodded and said, "It was indeed because of my martial arts skills that I entered the Jinyiwei Yamen."
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "Yes, it seems that my bodyguard is not completely useless. Chen Baihu's martial arts skills are so high, I feel a bit safe."
Chen Shiyi said happily: "But have you agreed not to dismiss the others?"
Zhang Yanling frowned and said, "Did I agree? Chen Baihu, although your martial arts skills are high, don't you think that two fists can't beat four hands? If you are only useful, so what?"
Chen Shiyi frowned and said, "One person in a humble position is enough to protect your safety."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "You are too confident. No matter how strong a person's ability is, there is a limit. Everyone in my bodyguard must be useful. I don't ask them to be like you, but at least they can't be a drag. Encountered
Dangerous situations can at least be resisted. My personal guards cannot have waste, do you understand?"
Chen Shiyi glared angrily and said, "Sir!"
Zhang Yanling looked at him coldly, while Chen Shiyi's eyes were sharp and seemed to be burning with anger. Especially after the superb martial arts display just now, most people were in awe of Chen Shiyi at this moment. However, Zhang Yanling greeted him without blinking an eye.
Chen Shiyi's sharp gaze did not give in at all.
"What? Is Chen Baihu getting angry? Do you want to force me to listen to you?" Zhang Yanling said coldly.
Chen Shiyi also stared at the young Zhenfu. He thought that his threatening gaze could intimidate him. After all, Zhang Yanling was just a pampered young man. However, in the end, he was defeated. In this kind of gaze, he was defeated.
When they looked at each other, it was not who had superior martial arts that could win. Chen Shiyi might have superior martial arts, but Zhang Yanling had a magnanimity and calmness that Chen Shiyi could not match, as well as the majesty of a superior.
This is one of the reasons why many powerful men with powerful weapons are willing to surrender in front of those who are powerless.
The gaze of the governor in front of him was deep and calm, without the slightest fear. The intimidation in his own eyes did not scare him at all. Once the threat of force was ineffective, Chen Shiyi no longer had the capital to force the other party. Instead, he had to consider the consequences of intimidation.
Already.
"This is a humble position... I don't dare!" Chen Shiyi lowered his head, cupped his hands and said in a deep voice.
Zhang Yanling smiled. After seeing Chen Shiyi's strong martial arts, Zhang Yanling was of course very happy. What he lacked around him was capable people, and strong martial arts was definitely one of his most desired skills. However, Chen Shiyi's character
There are some straightforward and even unruly people. If you can't frighten him, you can't conquer him. You can't use him. So, in fact, you not only need to frighten him in terms of momentum, but also need some other means to truly tame him.
