Chapter 117 Talent Selection
"Whoosh..."
Suddenly at this moment, a young man in his early twenties shot an arrow that hit the bull's eye.
"it is good……"
When Zhao Feng saw this, he immediately smiled. After such a long period of screening, he finally found a talented person.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Wang He."
Zhao Feng frowned slightly, and information about this person kept flashing in his mind from the roster.
"Master Xu, Wang He is an orphan. When he was five years old, his parents were killed by Japanese pirates. He was raised by his neighbor's aunt."
"This child has always been ambitious and has always wanted to avenge his parents, so he has been diligently learning martial arts since he was young."
After hearing this, Zhao Feng's eyes showed a hint of admiration.
"come here."
Zhao Feng gently waved at him, "Tell me why you want to join our Jinyiwei?"
"Firstly, it's to serve my country, and secondly, it's to avenge my parents. More importantly, I don't want there to be another orphan like me."
A hint of stubbornness flashed in Wang He's eyes.
"It's a good seedling."
After hearing this, Zhao Feng immediately clapped his hands and admitted him as an exception.
This made everyone around a little envious.
"Thank you, sir."
Wang He's tone was very excited.
"Congratulations! From now on, you are a member of the Imperial Guard. You guys should take him to rest for a while. We will have other things to do later."
"Yes!"
A team of guards immediately nodded respectfully.
Zhao Feng continued to sit back in his seat and looked at the people below.
"Since you have passed the test and become a member of my Jinyiwei, I will tell you about the internal rules of Jinyiwei."
Zhao Feng's expression was extremely serious. "The Imperial Guard is the emperor's trusted organization, primarily responsible for protecting the emperor's safety and national security. Therefore, we must hide behind the scenes and absolutely cannot reveal our identities."
"This is natural."
Everyone below responded in unison, obviously having known this for a long time.
"So during this period of time, in addition to being cautious and careful when carrying out missions, you must also be mindful of your words and actions in your daily lives. You absolutely cannot give others any leverage over you. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble."
"Yes!"
Zhao Feng gave some more instructions and then announced the halftime break.
"Everyone, please stay in your room for the time being. Remember, once you leave the room, you will be deemed to have forfeited your rights."
Everyone nodded and then dispersed to rest.
After settling the people taking the assessment, Zhao Feng immediately found Li Chengfeng, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
"Master Li, what suggestions do you have for today's assessment?"
After all, he is his immediate superior, so Zhao Feng naturally has to come and ask for his advice.
"It's too slow and unfair for us to assess in this way."
Li Chengfeng frowned slightly. "Also, the threshold for taking the test this time is set too low. I'm really worried that some people with ulterior motives will sneak in."
"Furthermore, if we conduct the assessment in this way, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among many high-ranking families in the court."
Due to Zhao Feng's considerations, the children of officials were completely excluded this time.
Although he had the imperial edict issued by the emperor in his hand, this would definitely arouse suspicion and dissatisfaction among the court and the people.
"Sir, do you think this is a bit hasty? What if something goes wrong?"
Li Chengfeng smiled bitterly: "I know what you are worried about, but we don't have much time."
Zhao Feng frowned, and although he was a little worried, he did not refute.
"A lot of merchants have been gathering in the capital recently. According to spies, they seem to have received the news and are planning to go to the South China Sea islands to participate in an event tomorrow night. So..."
"South China Sea Islands? What are those?"
Zhao Feng shook his head and explained, "I don't know exactly what it is, but I heard that the island is a small island controlled by Japanese pirates and is rich in pearls and jade."
"That's why these merchants are scrambling to get to the South China Sea islands. After all, there are Japanese pirates guarding there, and they are afraid of being killed."
"That's a treasure." Li Chengfeng smiled. "In that case, let these merchants go. This will save us from wasting our food."
"Yes."
Zhao Feng bowed and agreed.
"You go ahead and do your work. I need to take a break too."
Li Chengfeng waved his hand to signal the other party to go down quickly, then turned and left.
It was late at night and Zhao Feng was sleeping soundly on his bed alone, but at this moment he suddenly opened his eyes, then quickly turned over and looked around vigilantly.
"Whoosh..."
At this moment, a long arrow shot at the head of his bed.
Zhao Feng immediately turned over and got up from the bed.
"Whoosh!"
But at this moment another long arrow flew over.
This made Zhao Feng feel tremendous pressure.
He immediately drew his sword to block, but then a series of long arrows attacked from the window, leaving Zhao Feng no room to dodge.
He immediately waved the sword in his hand to resist.
At the same time, he was looking for an opportunity to escape.
"Oh!"
Unfortunately, these long arrows are not shot from ordinary bows and crossbows. They are made of fine steel and are extremely powerful.
Zhao Fengyi was accidentally shot in the shoulder by a long arrow, and blood dripped down his arm.
At this time, Zhao Feng finally saw two figures appear in the darkness.
His eyes narrowed immediately, because from the previous fight, he knew that he was no match for those two people, and now he could only rely on his wisdom to solve the problem.
"Brothers, why do you insist on stopping me? Are you the same as those losers just now? Trying to take advantage of the situation?"
Zhao Feng snorted coldly: "Let me tell you, your schemes and tricks can't fool me."
"who are you?"
The two masked men looked at each other and asked in confusion.
"Haha, who am I?"
Zhao Feng stared at the two men with a smile, and suddenly a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Tell me, who am I!"
The moment he finished speaking, he turned into a ghost and rushed towards one of the masked men.
The masked man suddenly exclaimed: "Ah! You are..."
But before he could finish his words, his eyes widened, and he fell straight to the ground and died with his eyes open.
"Bang bang bang!"
The remaining masked man suddenly panicked and immediately swung the long knife in his hand to chop at Zhao Feng.
But at this moment, Zhao Feng suddenly changed his tactics.
"Pfft!"
He slapped the masked man on the chest, then took the opportunity to snatch the long knife from his hand and stabbed it into the man's heart.
The masked man screamed, then fell to the ground, twitching and dying.
"call!"
Zhao Feng breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately jumped out while covering his wound.
But soon after he left, there was a slight noise coming from the roof.
