Chapter 10 Another Chance(1/2)
Not passed?
After saying these three words, Mr. Hua looked at Chen Ze proudly as a superior.
However, what disappointed him was that he saw a calm face, without any regrets, frustration, even astonishment and anger.
It was as if Chen Ze did not value the results of this assessment.
But doesn’t Chen Ze value it?
Of course not.
If he doesn't value it, why bother coming here? Wouldn't it be better to stay in the Wei family as a local rich man?
Based on his understanding of this world, Chen Ze actually knew that the method of surrounding Wei and saving Zhao would be questioned, but he still said it.
Because he could see that Mr. Hua must have experienced similar battles personally back then, and at that time he should have made the same choice as himself.
Otherwise, how could he be so depressed?
Surrounding Wei and saving Zhao is not a very profound method of using troops. It should not be difficult for generals with outstanding overall view to think of it.
The difficulty of this method lies in its internal meaning, especially in this world where military orders are everywhere!
Mr. Hua’s failure to pass may not be an indignation at his early experience, but at the same time, it is also a warning to Chen Ze and making him understand the weight of the four words "Military Orders Are Like Mountain".
So, Chen Ze stood still, what he was waiting for was Mr. Hua.
His eyes turned around Chen Ze's face for a few times. After all, Mr. Hua did not see any clues on the other person's face. After a while, he vented his anger himself, shook his head gently, and sighed:
"But, if you can come up with this plan, you have some talent in the way of counselors, so I decided to give you another chance."
"But listen to Mr. Hua's instructions!"
As soon as he said something, Chen Ze bowed his hands and held his fists, neither humble nor arrogant.
"You boy, would you know I had the following?"
Seeing Chen Ze's reaction, Old Hua was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at Chen Ze deeply again.
Then he snorted coldly: "Although you were wrong in this assessment, it was not all wrong, so I will give you another chance to assess."
"If you pass this assessment, you will not only be able to have the military rank of counselors, but also be promoted to third-class counselors directly. Of course, the reward is so generous, and the corresponding danger will also surge. It depends on whether you have the courage?"
"But listen to Mr. Hua's instructions!"
Chen Ze still repeated, but when he raised his head, his eyes were filled with an extremely confident look.
"good!"
Mr. Hua didn't hesitate and said directly: "Aren't you defeated Gui Jianchou on Heluo Ancient Road?"
"It's a pity that the leader of Gui Jianchou Qi Sha ran away. The Military Affairs Office received news that Qi Sha was leading the remaining troops to hide in the Doman Canyon to recuperate. If you can destroy all these lonely ghosts, then this assessment will be passed!"
"All kill ghosts and see sorrow?"
Chen Ze frowned slightly.
In fact, he doesn't need to be used for this matter at all. Since the Military Affairs Office has obtained information, with the current state of being severely damaged by Gui Jianchou's vitality, any army can be sent over to destroy the other party.
On the contrary, if you come forward on your own, the problem will be even more difficult.
Gui Jianchou's great energy injury is naturally directly related to him. The so-called enemy is extremely jealous when they meet. When Qi Sha sees Chen Ze, he will go crazy.
And since it is an assessment, of course, Chen Ze will not lead the army to the forefront, otherwise wouldn’t this task be given for nothing?
“How many people can I bring?”
Thinking of this, Chen Ze asked directly.
"If you pass the assessment, you will be a third-class consultant. So I can let you enjoy the treatment of a third-class consultant in advance and let you bring you fifteen people. What do you think?"
Old Hua grinned, with a cramped smile in his eyes.
"Fifteen people?"
Chen Ze looked at the sand table.
"What, don't you dare?"
Mr. Hua said: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to go, but your counselor assessment will end here."
"Don't think that I can't pass it here. You can also go to other main cities to apply for assessment. The assessments of the Military Affairs Office are shared. As long as you are still in the Qingyang Empire, you can only have this opportunity to assess!"
“As for…”
Mr. Hua still wanted to continue talking, but Chen Ze shook his head and interrupted: "No need to, I accept this assessment!"
…………
Chen Ze and the fat shopkeeper got down the stairs one after another.
Since they accepted Mr. Hua's assessment content, the two of them naturally had to choose soldiers. Although there were only fifteen people, they were better than nothing.
"Little brother, you really made me look at you with admiration!"
Walking on the stairs, the fat shopkeeper sighed and looked at Chen Ze with a slight expression of admiration.
"You are following Mr. Hua back then?"
Chen Ze smiled and asked casually.
“Yes, back then…”
The fat shopkeeper revealed his eyes and opened his mouth, but then sighed and shook his head, "Forget it, it's better not to talk about the past, let's go and select soldiers first."
"Um."
Chen Ze responded casually, his eyes swept across the group of diners on the first floor one by one, only fifteen... No, except for Li Quan'an, there should be only fourteen places, so he naturally wanted to choose some good ones.
However, the fat shopkeeper had already walked to the door. When he turned around, he saw Chen Ze still standing inside. He couldn't help but wonder: "Let's go after dinner?"
"Hmm? Uh?"
Chen Ze was stunned. Seeing that the fat shopkeeper had stepped out of the door with one foot, he realized that he seemed to have thought it was a bit out of place and hurriedly touched his nose and followed.
"It's not necessary to eat, but I thought..."
The Military Affairs Office made it look like a restaurant. Chen Ze naturally thought that the diners on the first floor were soldiers affiliated with the Military Affairs Office and could be selected by him.
It seemed like I had made a mistake.
The fat shopkeeper saw his expression and guessed what the other party was thinking, and couldn't help but laugh: "Do you think you are the people you selected?"
"I thought it was wrong, and I thought..."
Chen Ze shook his head with a wry smile.
"You want a meal!"
The fat shopkeeper looked up at the second floor and looked at it with a bitter face.
Chen Ze was silent. He was indeed a little curious about what Mr. Hua had experienced before, but since others didn't say it, he would not take the initiative to ask.
Immediately changed the topic and said, "Then where do we want to choose soldiers?"
"Of course it's a barracks."
The fat shopkeeper said for granted: "There is a team of soldiers who should meet this mission."
There are barracks outside each main city. The soldiers sent by the Empire to the city are stationed in barracks and are uniformly allocated by the Military Affairs Office.
As he was talking, Li Quan'an came up and said with anticipation: "Young Master, have you passed the assessment?"
Chen Ze smiled bitterly and said, "It's not over yet."
"ah?"
Li Quanan is not sure, so although he has never participated in the assessment, he has also seen that the assessment time of others is not long?
The fat shopkeeper walked in front and led the way, Chen Ze and Li Quan'an followed behind. At that moment, Chen Ze also told Li Quan'an about the assessment process and the previous request made by Mr. Hua.
After all, if he wanted to find Gui Jianchou, Li Quanan was also one of the parties involved, and there was no need to hide it from him.
"Ghost...seeing sorrow?"
Li Quan'an felt his throat dry. Although he had once treated dozens of Gui Jianchou bandits alone, he was not there. As a coachman who has been traveling to business for many years, Gui Jianchou's name really made him feel instinctively afraid.
"Young Master, that old Mr. Hua, he..."
Li Quanan hesitated, and saw that the fat shopkeeper was far away, gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, "Isn't he deliberately making things difficult for you?"
"In a dilemma?"
Chen Zetian smiled at him, "So what? You'll have to pass this level all the time, right?"
"Actually... if the young master doesn't want to take risks, there is another way."
Li Quanan swept his left and right carefully and said with his ears: "With the wisdom of the young master, everyone in the world can be gone, since Qingyang Empire is here..."
"No need to say anything later!"
Chen Ze waved his hand and interrupted him, "I know what you mean."
In fact, Li Quan'an's meaning was mentioned by Mr. Hua before when he was in the Military Affairs Office, that is, since the Qingyang Empire could not allow Chen Ze to pass the assessment, he could go to other countries and rely on his wisdom to seek greater development.
To be continued...
