After they left, the soldier turned around and walked into the gate. After a while, he walked out and said to Li Yan and the dozen or so people, "Just line up in the current formation, follow me, and go in." You are not allowed to walk around at will, you are not allowed to talk at will, and you are not allowed to whisper to each other, otherwise you will be eliminated directly. If your actions anger the general, you will probably get a military stick. "Do you understand?" He glanced at them, but this time he looked at them. It made them feel chilly. Although this was just a soldier, he had killed many people on his hands.
The murderous aura in his body is not something that these young boys can contend with. Li Yan only felt that his pores stood up a little when those eyes passed over him. He thought to himself, "What a powerful look." However, he only knew that the look in his eyes was terrifying, but he did not know that it was the murderous look of a veteran who had experienced life and death on the battlefield.
After the soldier asked, he saw that these half-grown men were responding submissively, stopped talking, and turned around to leave. The group of people quickly followed behind and walked. I was also extra careful, for fear of making a sound if my foot was heavy.
After Li Yan and his party entered the gate, they saw clearly the environment inside the courtyard. This was said to be a courtyard, but in fact it should be a square where horses could gallop. They were at the entrance of the square, and there was a square ahead of it. It is on a high platform, with tables and chairs placed on it. Every few steps up the edge of the high platform, there is a large flag stuck on the table. The rows of large flags are shaking in the wind, making a hunting sound. The flags are shaking occasionally, or faintly. It can be seen that the words "A", "B" and "C" are embroidered on them, and some are embroidered with totems such as evil tigers and dragons.
This should be what people often call the military field, Li Yan thought.
At this time, there were about a hundred or ten people standing on the school field, divided into three rows, with about five or six people in each row. On the far right side of the school field, Li Yan and the others followed the soldier after they entered. When we reached the end of the line, there were seventeen or eight people in total; the middle row had about forty or fifty people; the upper row on the left had the largest number of people, about seventy or eighty people at this time.
There are several soldiers in front of each row managing the three rows of people. Several rows of armed soldiers stand neatly around the square. The reason why Li Yan and his gang were surrounded in the venue was presumably to maintain order.
On the high platform, there is a large chair behind the desk, and sitting on it is a burly man. This man is about taller than the average adult. He has a yellow face and a bald head. At this time, The sunlight falling from the sky caused a faint yellow light to shine on the top of his head. He had a broad face and a slightly thick beard. A long scar extended from his right temple down to the corner of his right mouth. The muscles in the scar were twisted outwards, as if A colorful centipede crawled on the face. His waist was straight, and he seemed to be oppressing the whole audience even when he was sitting in the chair.
At this time, he was looking at the front of the high platform, at the corner of the platform to his left. There was a tent there. This tent was exactly where the team Li Yan and the others were standing were lined up. .
Li Yan also secretly looked at the audience and the stage at this time. He was standing at the end of the team, and the team they were lining up in was on the farther side of the school field, so it was not very clear to see the high platform in front of the school field. He only saw the high platform of the school field. There is a table above, and a bald man sitting in a large chair behind the table.
At this time, the soldier who brought them in shouted in a low voice, "You have to be careful. Marshal Hong is on the stage. You are not allowed to look around. Wait for the people in front to come out of the tent. The people behind him then entered the tent one by one."
The soldier paused, with an unspeakable expression on his face, and then pointed to the row of about forty or fifty people in the middle. He said, "After you come out, stand behind the middle row one by one and wait in line for the assessment. After passing the final assessment, you can stand over there." Then he pointed to the team of about seven to eighty people on the far left with his hand. .

"If you fail the assessment, you will be eliminated. Just go out directly through the back corner door. Someone will explain the specific situation to you in detail." After that, he nodded to the soldiers in front of the row, then turned and walked towards the door.
Li Yan stood behind the team. After listening to what the soldier said just now, he felt that something didn't make sense. He couldn't figure it out for a while. He frowned and thought for a while and suddenly thought, The soldier just said, "They need to enter the tent first, come out and line up in the middle for the assessment."
Directly in front of the middle row is another place surrounded by a high wooden fence. They couldn't see inside the fence, but from the high platform they could overlook the whole place and completely see what was going on there. Presumably, the fence was where the assessment took place. As for the content of the assessment, Li Guoxin had told him before on the road. , it should be lifting stone locks, running, simple martial arts, etc. For Li Yan, he believed that with his physical fitness from hunting in the mountains all year round and some fists and kicks learned from the hunters in the village, these should be no problem.
But that's not what Li Yan was thinking about at this time. He was thinking carefully in his heart, "The soldier said that after going to the middle row, he can take the test. Those who succeed will line up on the far left and those who will be eliminated." Go out through the corner door at the back. I think the row with the most people is the ones who have been successfully selected, and the row in the middle is waiting for the assessment. What is the purpose of the row I am standing in now? But what is the purpose? The soldier just said that he was allowed to enter the tent, and when he came out, he stood in the middle row, and the soldier looked a little weird when he said this. "When the soldier was talking, Li Yan stared at him. Afraid of saying something important. Thinking about it now, I feel very puzzled.
Li Yan just stood there and thought. Suddenly, a voice rang in his ear, "Hey, what is the one standing at the last place doing?" Li Yan woke up from his thoughts when he heard this. Only then did he realize that the people in front of him had moved forward for a long distance because of people constantly entering the tent, but he had forgotten it because of his thinking.Following the team, he was in the last position again, but no one behind him urged him to move forward. At this time, he was standing alone, and it was very eye-catching that he was separated from the team. There were soldiers in front of him coming to yell at him.
When the young people in front of the team who were participating in the recruitment heard this scolding, they turned around, and some of them chuckled softly. Originally, there were only 150 Guardsmen recruited this time. For them, those who came to apply were all competitors. They would not be of any benefit to others. They could not directly attack their opponents, and ridicule was also a blow.
Li Yan quickly smiled apologetically at the soldier, then followed the team forward, as if he had not heard the low laughter. The soldier glanced at him, snorted lightly, and said no more. When the few people passing by who were chuckling in low voices, he sternly reprimanded, "Do you want to be eliminated directly? If you don't want to, just be honest." As soon as the words came out, the faces of those who had been laughing in low voices suddenly turned pale, and they quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at the soldier again. Seeing this, the soldiers withdrew their eyes and walked towards the front of the team.
After Li Yan reached the last position, he thought to himself, "It should be the registration office, but this registration office is too stingy. There are more than a dozen tables lined up in the campus of Nuo Nuo University. It’s not that difficult. Wouldn’t it be faster to sign up that way?”
He thought of this and suddenly remembered that the soldier said “Marshal Hong” earlier, yes, Marshal Hong, On the high platform was Marshal Hong, who was like a military god in their place. He had repeatedly defeated Meng's enemies. Although he had only heard about Marshal Hong before, for Li Yan, this had already established a god-like image in the young man's heart. exist.
Then he secretly raised his head and looked towards the high platform. At this time, he was much closer to the high platform and could basically see the people on the high platform clearly. I thought in my mind, "Marshal Hong looks like this, he is so domineering, no wonder he can intimidate those enemies and thieves."
Once this person identifies someone or something, he will have a preconceived feeling, either forming a good idea or forming a very evil feeling. Marshal Hong looks like this, in the eyes of ordinary people, he should look good. He was a vicious, ferocious person, but at this moment in Li Yan's heart, not only did he not feel like a villain, but he was extremely domineering.
After looking at the high platform for a while, Li Yan found that Marshal Hong seemed to be very concerned about this place. He rarely looked at the people in the middle row who entered the high fence to assess the situation. He basically turned sideways towards them. Waiting and watching in the tent, every time someone enters or comes out, he raises his eyebrows, as if he has an idea.
