Actually before coming.
Wang Yue had already thought it through.
At the moment, he is asking for help from others, not Cao Ang who is thirsty for talents, so he is passive.
In this case, Cao Ang has some additional requirements and he needs to take on more responsibilities, which are all reasonable things.
As long as it's not too unacceptable.
Wang Yuedu was willing to exchange this for promotion.
However, Cao Ang’s next request.
But something was beyond his expectation.
"To be honest, Wenzhuo, I had an idea a long time ago, that is, to form a team specifically for gathering intelligence, let's call it Shadow Guards."
"It's just that I've been struggling to find someone who can take charge of this matter alone."
"Now that Wen Zhuo has come to seek refuge, in my opinion, it is nothing less than a gift from heaven. With your ability, you must be able to take on this responsibility. I wonder if you are willing?"
At first I heard the word intelligence.
Wang Yue instinctively felt some resistance.
After all, doing intelligence work sounds like you are hiding in a dark corner and doing it secretly.
This is really not in line with his style as a swordsman.
But if you think about it carefully, if you are only responsible for providing intelligence, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
But out of caution.
Wang Yue asked one more question.
"May I ask General, is this Shadow Guard only responsible for intelligence matters? Does it have other duties?"
Cao Ang's eyes flashed.
Then he slowly shook his head.
"In addition to gathering intelligence, it also includes assassinations, detailed internal response, and internal surveillance."
"It's just that the last item is not needed at the moment. Among the previous items, intelligence is the main one and the others are supplementary."
Wang Yue: "..."
…
"Thanks to the general's love, but I really can't do an assassination. This goes against my style of conduct, and it will inevitably damage my reputation if it gets spread."
"I beg you, General, to change my position for me. If there is no other choice, I can only say goodbye with regret!"
If you are only responsible for information.
Then Wang Yue felt that he could still do it.
After all, there is no need for him to deal with this kind of thing personally. He is just an intelligence chief, so it doesn't matter.
But when it comes to such dirty work as assassination, the swordsman known as "Sword Immortal" has suddenly turned into a notorious and feared assassin leader.
Then the many reputations he has established in the past will be lost in one fell swoop and vanish into nothing in an instant.
How was this done?
So there is only one way to refuse.
After Cao Ang received this answer, his mood did not fluctuate much. Obviously, this was what he expected.
If it were the same as before.
Even if the olive branch he offered was rejected, Cao Ang would not force it. He would just put it aside for the time being or choose another candidate.
But right now, someone has to do the dirty work. Intelligence, assassinations, and traitors, these things hidden in the dark side, although they don't always see the light, they are absolutely indispensable for any mature force.
Wang Yue has strong personal martial arts skills, is familiar with the rules of the arena, knows a large number of arena masters, and has strong desires in certain aspects, so he can guarantee his loyalty.
Such a candidate is really rare.
It’s hard to miss it again!
So even if Wang Yue clearly refused, Cao Ang decided to give it a try and increase the intensity first!
…
Cao Ang did not immediately persuade him.
But after thinking for a while, he asked Wang Yue: "Let's not talk about the shadow guard. I just want to ask Wenzhuo, what do you think are the conditions for holding an important position in the court?"
Seeing that Cao Ang did not press forward step by step.
Wang Yue couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he hurriedly replied: "If you are from a better background, you only need to have above-average qualifications and some ability and insight."
"If you don't have a good background, you can only be appreciated by superiors if you have outstanding abilities in both civil and military fields."
Cao Ang nodded slightly.
Then in front of Wang Yue.
I started counting on my fingers.
"If my prediction is correct, Wenzhuo should not come from a wealthy family with a superior family background, but one of the thousands of ordinary families in the Han Dynasty."
"Then if you want to be a high-ranking official, rich in salary, and be appreciated by others, there are only two ways in front of you, that is, as you said, one is civilized and the other is military."
"I wonder what your literary attainments are?"
The corner of Wang Yue's mouth twitched twice.
Then he shook his head with a bitter look on his face: "I can only say that I know a few Chinese characters and have a preliminary understanding of two or three points of writing. I dare not say that I have any attainments."
"If I were proficient in grammar and knew how to govern a country, I wouldn't have wasted half my life in a white body."
Cao Ang nodded happily.
Wang Yue was not given a chance to breathe.
Instead, he chased after him and said: "The way of martial arts is to lead troops to fight and march to fight. I wonder how many soldiers and generals Wenzhuo can command and how many tactics he knows?"
…
Wang Yue's face became darker and darker.
It looked vaguely ugly.
But still choose to tell the truth.
"To be honest, General, I have never led an army or fought in a battle. I have only read about all the art of war in writings, and even just briefly looked at it. I can't say that I am even half-proficient in it."
"Snapped!"
Cao Ang slapped him hard on the thigh.
Then he let out a long sigh.
"Then this will be troublesome!"
"If you enter the court with force, you will not be able to lead troops to fight, and you will not be able to march and form formations. Then all you can do is charge into the formation and provide personal protection."
"I wonder if you can do these two things?"
Wang Yue shook his head silently.
His face was almost as black as charcoal.
In fact, Cao Ang's questioning step by step removed all the fig leaves from his body and exposed him to the sun, making him feel extremely embarrassed.
But this old boy has a good attitude.
even so.
Still calm and calm, he answered Cao Ang's questions one by one.
"Charging into battle requires strong strength, a mighty body, and a fierce momentum. This is not what I am good at."
"If you are a personal guard, you must be able to withstand and fight. You must be able to use your body to repel the invading enemy at critical moments. This is not my strength."
"Wu Zhidao... I can't get through either!"
…
The last sentence almost exhausted Wang Yue's half of his strength. After he finished speaking, he immediately became a little slumped and half leaned on the desk.
Seeing such a situation.
Cao Ang couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart.
This is the effect we want!
If you can get through Wu Zhi's way, then how can we make you obediently become the assassin leader?
Think of this.
Cao Ang took a deep breath immediately.
Then he slowly confided: "Please forgive me for offending me by speaking bluntly. I have no attainments in military affairs or in military affairs."
"In this case, no matter where you go or join any force in the world, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to achieve anything great. It's rare for you to be rewarded by a real high-ranking official!"
"Thinking about it this way, you might as well choose to be here as the leader of the Shadow Guards. Firstly, you can show your talents, and secondly, you don't need to be civilized or martial arts!"
Cao Ang violently attacked with words.
Wang Yue simply couldn't breathe.
He only felt that General Cao's words were sharper than any opponent he had encountered during his previous travels in the world, and the weapons in his hands were sharper.
His heart was pricked with blood.
Wang Yue was a little confused now.
Am I actually so unbearable?
If you can't succeed in writing or in martial arts, no wonder you have wasted half your life, unable to realize your long-cherished wish.
What General Cao said... is so true!
Could it be that, as General Cao said, I can only be the leader of assassins under him from now on, and will not be used in any other place?
Wang Yue vaguely felt that this was the correct answer.
But when he thought about becoming the leader of the Shadow Guard, hiding his name, being in the shadows, with his hands stained with blood, his reputation was ruined.
Wang Yue couldn't help but feel alert.
Then wake up quickly.
…
"As the general said, I am not good at both civil and military affairs, but I also have a sword that is hard to beat in the world. With this sword, I can conquer the four seas."
"There may not be anyone who will appreciate me for my swordsmanship and allow me to practice in the army so that one day I can become a qualified general!"
Things have advanced to this stage.
It is also in Cao Ang's plan.
He wanted to attack Wang Yue's self-confidence in all aspects and make this old boy understand that it would be difficult to survive without Cao Ang.
If you want to realize your ambition, there is no way!
So when Wang Yue showed off the swordsmanship that he was most proud of in his life, Cao Ang just smiled softly.
"Wen Zhuo's swordsmanship is superb, I admit that, but if you want to say he is invincible, it is not necessarily true."
"Not to mention more, just relying on your swordsmanship, I just stand in front of you with my hands behind my back, and you can't hurt me at all without moving even half a step. How can you be called invincible?"
Wang Yue was stunned at first.
Then his eyes slowly widened.
He looked at Cao Ang with some surprise, and couldn't help but glance up and down several times.
Then he seemed to think of something happy.
The corners of his mouth raised involuntarily, revealing an extremely cheerful smile.
"General, is it possible that you are joking? The world is huge and there are many talented people. I said before that I am invincible in swordsmanship. It is indeed a bit arrogant and arrogant. I take it back."
"But to say that General, if you stand with your hands behind your back and let me hit you while standing still, I can't hurt you at all, is a bit exaggerated."
"I have been practicing swordsmanship for decades and have defeated countless powerful enemies. Even if he is as strong as Brother Dian, he doesn't dare to stand still and let me do whatever I do!"
"General, you..."
…
Wang Yue didn't sound too serious about what he said.
In his mind, this was to save face for Cao Ang.
But the meaning is actually very clear.
"General Cao, my swordsmanship is not limited. If you say you stand still and let me fight, you are just bragging. Even Dian Wei would not dare to do that. Why are you making such a fuss!"
That's roughly the subtext.
Of course Cao Ang could hear it.
However, he just stood up, lightly brushed the hem of his clothes, and then said with a faint smile.
"If Wen Zhuo doesn't believe it, we might as well go to the school field and give it a try."
"If you can hurt me at all, I will never mention the so-called Shadow Guard matter again. Not only that, I can also appoint you as the general of an army."
"On the other hand, if I am safe and sound, then I would like to ask Wenzhuo to consider the proposal of commanding the Shadow Guards."
Wang Yue was really shocked now.
With a "swish" sound, he also stood up.
The mouth was open and could not be closed for a long time.
After a long while, he hesitated and asked: "General, are you serious about what you said?"
Cao Ang nodded with a smile on his face.
"General Youdian is here to testify. I am absolutely telling no lies. Everything is just as I said before!"
…
Wang Yue's expression changed for a while.
He couldn't see clearly.
How did General Cao become so confident?
To say that he is as strong as Dian Wei, his physical defense might be astonishing, but looking at his appearance, it is not too exaggerated.
How dare you boast about Haikou!
hiss!
Wang Yue suddenly took a breath of cold air.
He got it!
The reason why General Cao did this was just to give both parties a step down. He sincerely wanted to recruit him, but he refused the position of shadow guard.
In order to avoid making everyone look ugly.
He simply found an excuse like this, and after he won, he would naturally stop mentioning the assassin leader.
This is good for you and me.
Enlightened, fully enlightened!
It has to be General Cao, his methods are superb!
Think of this.
Wang Yue no longer hesitated, cupped his hands and fists, and said respectfully to Cao Ang.
"The general is willing to give me such an opportunity, then I am willing to give it a try. Thank you, general!"
Wang Yue has already thanked him.
But a simple middle-aged swordsman.
What kind of huge black hole is waiting for you in front?
…
After the two agreed.
Immediately, one after another, they went to the small school ground prepared by the county government.
Just when walking on the road.
Dian Wei couldn't help but came closer to Cao Ang, lowered his voice, and whispered in Cao Ang's ear.
"General, is this... okay?"
"This man's swordsmanship is absolutely extraordinary. I had a battle with him before. Although this man didn't hurt me at all, it was because he was wary of my great strength."
"If I hit him with a punch, he would fall down on the spot, so he didn't dare to let go and do anything, so we ended up with a draw."
Speaking of which.
Dian Wei showed a worried look on his face.
His eyes were filled with worries.
"But General, if you have to stand still and let him fight, even if his sword skills are at full strength, your subordinates will never dare to resist him. How can you not get hurt?"
"General, I hope you will think twice!"
Dian Wei's voice was full of urgency.
Such strong emotions also fully proved that in Dian Wei's heart, he did not think Cao Ang could do this at all.
Although Dian Wei had seen Cao Ang's power with his own eyes when he first took refuge in Cao Ang.
But strength and defense are two different things.
What's more, if you stand still and get beaten, wouldn't it be a miracle if you can escape unhurt?
However, faced with Dian Wei's persuasion.
Cao Ang still shook his head firmly.
"A Dian, there is no need to say anything. I know it well. If I wasn't sure, how could I blindly boast? Have you ever seen me make false claims?"
Dian Wei stopped talking.
But judging from the worried look that still remains on his face, it can be seen that he is still worried.
The reason why he stopped talking was just because he knew that he could not convince Cao Ang.
…
Wait until we get to the school field.
After dispersing the rest.
Cao Ang and Wang Yue squared off with each other.
But before taking action, Wang Yue suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said to Cao Ang.
"General, as the saying goes, swords have no eyes. This sword I carry with me is made of fine steel and is extremely sharp. If I hurt you, it will really be my fault."
"How about I fight you with a wooden sword or a broken branch? What do you think?"
Cao Ang couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard these words.
You old boy, are you still doing this whole thing of "flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people"?
It's a pity that the more this happens, the harder Cao Ang will hit him!
Therefore, Cao Ang just folded his hands on his chest and shook his head with an unpredictable smile.
"Just use your sword!"
"If you break a tree branch and make it into a sword, it won't be able to hurt me at all. It's inevitable that the weapon is incompetent."
Wang Yue felt very angry after hearing this.
Are we that kind of people?
Although he was somewhat convinced that Cao Ang wanted to use this method to allow both parties to reach a consensus on arranging tasks for him.
But listening to Cao Ang's words, it was still inevitable that he would feel a little unhappy.
"The general is naturally very brave. I heard that you once defeated the fierce general Lu Bu, but there is a big difference between fighting on the battlefield and dueling in the rivers and lakes."
"But since you said so, general, it is inconvenient for me to abandon my sword. If I hurt you later, please forgive me!"
…
Cao Ang waved to Wang Yue.
Then he put his hands behind his back, spread his legs slightly, and maintained a stable standing posture, and then stood still.
Seeing such a situation.
"Keng!"
Wang Yue also drew the sword from his waist.
He casually held a sword flower in his arm and began to pace left and right, ready to attack at any time.
And just as the two of them were getting into stance.
Dian Wei was also waiting at the side.
Later, if Wang Yue scratches a small wound on the general's body, then it will be fine.
Once there was a possibility of serious injury, he would rush out immediately, or block the sword blade, or pull away from the general. In short, he should not let the general be too seriously injured.
"Bang!"
As Dian Wei banged the clapper next to him, it meant that the competition officially began.
And Wang Yue flashed past.
The distance between him and Cao Ang had suddenly shortened by a few steps, and in less than a breath, he had appeared on Cao Ang's right side.
at the same time.
The sword in his hand had also cut through the sky, making a sharp sound of breaking the wind, then clicked on Cao Ang's right arm and slid down.
Cao Ang was not wearing soft hedgehog armor and could not withstand the cutting of the sword. Therefore, with a slash of the long sword, a hole suddenly appeared in his clothes.
However, the scene that Wang Yue expected to see blood immediately after the sword was drawn did not appear.
The extremely sharp long sword, with the blessing of Wang Yue's sword skills, only left a pale white scratch on Cao Ang's right arm.
Nothing else.
And such a white mark obviously cannot be regarded as causing damage. Wang Yue's output failed to break the defense!
…
Wang Yue was dumbfounded now.
In that move just now, he had used 70 to 80% of his strength, combined with the sword in his hand. If an ordinary person was hit by this move, his arm would be filled with blood.
However, General Cao acted as if nothing was wrong.
It doesn't even move.
hiss!
An ominous premonition flashed through Wang Yue's heart.
But the outcome was still undecided, and Wang had no time to think of other things, and at the same time he no longer held back.
"General, be careful, I'm going to go all out!"
After saying that, Wang Yue disappeared instantly to Cao Ang's right side like a phantom.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
During the next cup of tea.
Wang Yue's whole body flew away like a breeze, and like a ghost in smoke, he launched a high-speed attack around Cao Ang, which was dazzling.
Every time it is 100% full output.
Just a few moments.
It has been done hundreds of times.
The thin clothes Cao Ang was wearing had now turned into a pile of rags, hanging sporadically on his body.
But what is shocking is that.
Apart from these, Cao Ang did not suffer any damage, except that he had more than a hundred white marks on his body.
Although these traces are superficial and superficial.
But after all, none of them are so deep that they can draw blood.
This means that Wang Yue has just made hundreds of shots, all of which were ineffective attacks. There is no difference between swinging the sword at a high frequency and cutting them all on stones.
Wang Yue was completely dumbfounded.
Don't talk about him, Dian Wei was stunned.
…
"puff!"
He swung the sword hard, and the blade of the sword plunged straight into the sand, standing straight on the ground.
Wang Yue put her hands on her knees, bent over, and gasped for air.
"Huh...huh!"
"do not fight!"
"General, I admit defeat. You are far stronger than me. No matter how hard I try, I can't leave even a tiny bit of trauma on you. I am convinced that I have lost!"
Cao Ang was not able to break his defense.
On the contrary, he exhausted all his strength.
Wang Yue really couldn't understand.
What kind of monster is General Cao?
Why can I stand still, no matter how violently I output, I can't achieve any results.
If General Cao's body shape is similar to Dian Wei's, then this is understandable, but the problem is that General Cao is only of ordinary body shape!
Moreover.
Isn't Dian Wei's body made of meat?
Even like Dian Wei, who is like a reincarnated evil god, it is impossible to face the attacks like wind and rain and remain calm and calm as water.
Wang Yue was really shocked.
Shocked emotions had already taken over his mind.
Everything that happened today directly overturned his career in the past one or two decades.
Ever since he became successful in practicing swordsmanship, no one has ever been able to do this.
Don't say you are successful in practicing swordsmanship.
Let's just say that this sword in his hand, even if it is held by a young child, if the sword is struck, an ordinary young man would not dare to hold it hard and avoid it.
Outrageous!
How much terrifying power does General Cao's body contain? Could it be that his flesh and blood skin is made of fine steel?
Or do you mean that you started practicing kung fu right from your mother's womb, practiced it for ten or twenty years, and trained yourself like a stone?
I can't explain it no matter how hard I try.
Wang Yue could only attribute it to the fact that Cao Ang was gifted and was a reincarnated god-man, not the same species as mortals.
…
Just when Wang Yue was thinking wildly.
Cao Ang slowly opened his eyes.
"Um?"
"it's over?"
"Wen Zhuo is admitting defeat?"
Soul asked three times.
Straight into Wang Yue's heart.
He was completely defeated on the spot.
It was only now that he noticed that during the entire battle, General Cao had his eyes tightly closed and did not pay any attention to the outside world.
It's like falling asleep.
And judging by his questioning tone, it was as if he didn't even know that the battle was over, as if his attack was just tickling General Cao, so light that he didn't even feel it.
Wang Yue couldn't hold himself any longer.
The facial muscles twitched violently for a while.
He slowly came to Cao Ang.
Then he bowed to Cao Ang, bending his waist directly at a right angle.
"The more you use a tube to peer into the sky, the more you use a ligament to measure the sea. When you are under a secluded well, you don't know how big the world is."
"I boasted about Haikou before, which was extremely arrogant, but now that I think about it, it is just to make people laugh. I really don't know that the world is so big, and there is such a living god like the general!"
"Yue, I am convinced to lose. It is only today that I know that the swordsmanship that I have always been proud of is actually nothing."
"I am willing to admit defeat in this bet. I will follow the general's words. From now on, I am willing to be the leader of the Shadow Guard, riding the horse forward for the general. I will be driven by him without any second thoughts!"
…
Cao Ang broke Wang Yue's mentality in one battle.
At the same time, he was completely convinced.
Even the ability that I am most proud of in my life is vulnerable to a blow in the hands of others, so what is there to be so crazy about? An Anxin can just be the leader of the assassins.
And after hearing this.
Cao Ang couldn't help but laugh three times in his heart.
OK!
What is planning?
Isn’t it all within reach?
Of course, all this is also due to the passive skill that was caught from the river.
[Moveless as a mountain]
As long as you stay still, the defense power of your whole body will increase several times.
Cao Ang once experimented. As long as he stood still, even shooting with a strong bow would only leave a white spot on his body.
This was what he relied on to fight against Wang Yue.
After all, swordsmen like Wang Yue generally have high agility, high attack speed, and medium attack power.
But with the blessing of Immovable Mountain, high agility and high attack speed have no effect. If there is no explosion to break the defense, it will never be able to break the defense.
Cao Ang was sure to defeat Wang Yue.
In order to keep still, Cao Ang even closed his eyes, fearing that his blinking would be judged as canceling the stillness.
Of course, if he was playing against Dian Wei, Cao Ang would never dare to overpower him. After all, Dian Wei was a typical fighter with high attack power and high health. If he punched him, he would not only break the defense on the spot, but would also cause Cao Ang internal injuries.
This thing is great for dealing with "Sword Immortals"!
…
And after Wang Yue showed his loyalty to him.
Cao Ang no longer needed to attack him.
The goal has been achieved, and further attacks will have the opposite effect. The next thing to do is to appease.
Cao Ang immediately smiled, lifted him up with both hands, and kept talking.
"Wenzhuo, please get up quickly. I have such a great talent like you today, so why should I worry about the big thing happening?"
After helping Wang Yue up.
Cao Ang patted Wang Yue's arm and said cheerfully: "Wenzhuo, with all due respect, it's not a bad thing for you to be the leader of the Shadow Guard."
"According to the normal way of joining the army and fighting, how many years will it take for you to be able to stand alone? But now that you are the leader of the Shadow Guard, I can give you a status that is not far from that of my generals Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan!"
"In the future, when the Dong thieves are exterminated and the imperial court returns to power, you will be granted the title of general, and even if you have further meritorious service, you will be granted the title of marquis and general. These are absolutely not false claims!"
This soothing effect is very effective.
Wang Yue's mood was instantly lifted.
Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, whom Wang Yue had heard of, were the chief generals under General Cao Ang. Apart from the surnames Cao and Xiahou, they had the highest status.
He lost anyway, and according to the agreement, he should be the leader of the assassins for Cao Ang.
Now Cao Ang is willing to give him high treatment.
Let him be as good as Zhang Liao.
So what else does he have to say?
Besides, when I came here to seek refuge, wasn’t it because I wanted to have a bright future and be granted a high-ranking position in the future?
Staying in the shadows all the time, this is not a convenient way to climb to the clouds. In the future, maybe you can really rely on such merits to become a noble general?
Think of this.
Wang Yue was no longer depressed.
He bowed to Cao Ang more simply.
"Thanks to the general's great love, Yue, with his white body and tiny life, is really frightened."
"As long as I don't give up on you, I'll be more willing to sacrifice my own life and do my best to die!"
…
So far.
Cao Ang's overall plan declared a great victory.
First offer an olive branch, then undermine his self-confidence, and then offer an olive branch again. This is a classic operation that made Wang Yue fascinated.
A little proud from the beginning.
Now I bow my head and bow.
The difference between before and after is huge.
After this incident, Cao Ang also successfully gained a loyal subordinate.
The most important thing is that this subordinate is specially responsible for handling secret affairs for him. He is the talent that Cao Ang is in urgent need of at the moment. This is of profound significance.
