Chapter 439 Testing Period
Chapter 439 Testing Period
There was a hint of surprise in Chu Yan's eyes. He didn't expect that even though he had changed his appearance, he was still recognized by them.
If Adi heard this, she might be unhappy and think that her makeup skills were questioned.
Now that he had been discovered, Chu Yan didn't want to hide it.
"It is indeed me, the king. What? Do you want to kill me and get the reward?"
After all, that was 10 million taels, a figure that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to think about and that they would never be able to reach in several lifetimes.
Who can resist that temptation?
Now their bounty notices are posted in every street and alley in the city. I believe everyone knows that their heads are very valuable.
"Grass people don't dare!"
"I have always respected His Royal Highness the King of Zhenbei. I had the honor of meeting you once a few years ago. You left a very deep impression on me at that time."
"You have always been a role model for the common people!"
"Now that a tyrant is in power, the people will surely suffer in the future."
"I originally wanted to become a bandit, robbing the rich and giving to the poor like the prince. But I don't have the organizational ability."
"If Your Majesty does not forsake us, we are willing to be loyal to You!" After saying this, several young men immediately knelt down.
They are indeed at the best age now.
Unfortunately……
"You must think clearly. I have a bounty on my head. If you follow me, you may die at any time!"
"And there won't necessarily be good days ahead." Chu Yan said the most serious words first.
"I am not afraid of death! I am not afraid of hardship! As long as the prince is willing to take me in, I will swear allegiance to the prince until death!"
"Please grant your approval, Your Majesty!"
"Do any of you know martial arts?" After pondering for a moment, Chu Yan asked again.
They seem to have good bones. If they practice martial arts, they should be good candidates.
"Reporting to the prince, we were all farmers in the village, and we only practiced some martial arts."
"But we are not afraid of being tired. As long as there is someone to teach us, we will definitely practice diligently!"
"In that case, you will stay for now."
"What are your names? How old are you?" Chu Yan's voice was cold and there was no extra expression on his face.
The dark-skinned young man who took the lead said: "My name is Sanniu! I am twenty-one this year."
"My name is Dong Qi. Twenty-two."
"Zhang Hua! Twenty years old!"
"My name is Wei Lai. Twenty-one."
The four people very respectfully reported their names and ages, and it was obvious that they really respected Chu Yan. Chu Yan could see this.
Otherwise he wouldn't have agreed so readily.
"The four of you go and help maintain order first. After the villagers receive their travel expenses and food, persuade them to go back immediately." Chu Yan immediately gave them the task.
See how well they execute!
"The common people obey."
The four people agreed in unison. They were very happy that the prince was willing to let them do something, and they were very motivated.
Then they went over immediately. More and more refugees came after hearing the news, and if no one maintained order, something bad would definitely happen.
He walked back to Mu Ningyuan, ready to observe them as an inspection.
"Yun Yi, what do they want from you?" Mu Ningyuan asked curiously.
In fact, when he took a look just now and saw them kneeling down, some guesses had already popped up in his mind.
But he still wanted to hear Chu Yan talk to him in person.
Chu Yan did not hide anything and told him everything that Sanniu and the others had just said.
Mu Ningyuan was equally surprised.
To be honest, Chu Yan's current appearance really has nothing to do with his original appearance. It is a very mediocre and ordinary face. I didn't expect that they could recognize him by his temperament.
It seems that he is really familiar with him and has great respect for him.
They all seem to be strong and healthy. If they have good character and decent talent, they can indeed be accepted and trained.
It just so happens that we are short of people now.
In the past, Yun Yi had his own elite troop, but unfortunately, all of them died on the battlefield.
It is not easy to cultivate your own confidants.
You must be loyal, have superior skills, and have good character.
Chu Yan was very discerning. Since he agreed to take in these four people, he must have had his plans.
If he is a talented person with great potential, it will be a huge gain for Chu Yan.
"Let's test it first. If it's feasible, keep him in Nanfan Mountain for training for a while." Chu Yan expressed his thoughts.
Mu Ningyuan nodded: "I think it's okay."
Four more people helped maintain order and persuaded them to go home. Supplies and food were distributed quickly and in an orderly manner.
Sanniu and his people were originally from the same village as these people, or from neighboring villages. They all knew a few young people.
He is usually a very nice person and always willing to help others.
If there is any heavy farm work that cannot be done, we can ask them for help, just by asking.
They are all very enthusiastic and work very hard.
The four of them are brothers who have grown up together and are as close as brothers.
They were more persuasive when speaking to the villagers.
After receiving the money and food, the villagers went back together.
They are all honest civilians. If they can, who would be willing to beg? In the cold winter, my hands and feet are cracked and frostbitten.
Fortunately, Shen Yindi and Chu Yun were also prepared last night.
They distributed ointments for chilblains and cracks to the villagers.
Some villagers caught a cold while holding their children, and Shen Yindi prescribed medicine for them.
Sincerity is always a must-win.
To them, Shen Yindi and Chu Yan are simply living Bodhisattvas.
After about an hour, the crowd finally dispersed.
It's already getting bright.
They have distributed all the things they brought.
Each person was given fifty taels of silver, which was definitely enough for ordinary people to get through the entire winter.
There may be some surplus.
The governor of Yuncheng was indeed a corrupt official.
Just as Si Qi said, the people promoted by Meng family are definitely not good people!
After the distribution, the crowd dispersed, Shen Yindi came over and took Chu Yan's hand. They didn't go home last night. She felt a little distressed.
I originally wanted to come here to rest for a while and have a good sleep, but who knew something like this would happen again?
"Husband, when did you successfully cause this incident last night?"
"It's late at night."
"What happened to that corrupt official?" Shen Yindi asked curiously.
"Yun Yi chopped him off directly."
"He probably won't survive." Mu Ningyuan added from the side.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yindi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
As expected of her prince, he is very decisive in his actions.
We will never show leniency to such corrupt officials.
"If this happens, will there be a riot in Yuncheng?" Shen Yindi was still a little worried.
"No, someone will definitely report it, and then a new person will take office soon." Chu Yan said lightly.
"It's just that Chu Heng is the emperor now, and the person who will succeed him must also be their confidant."
"Yuncheng is still a key location, so they will definitely carefully select one and send someone over."
This can also create some difficulties for them.
Since they can't be caught anyway, they will definitely not show mercy if they can do something to cause trouble for them along the way.
"Your Highness, we have completed the task you assigned to us!" Sanniu and the others came over and said excitedly.
"Well, that's good, stay for the time being. I will continue to test you, and if you pass the test, I will keep you." Chu Yan said seriously.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of hurried footsteps.
"Your Majesty, many soldiers and men in black have arrived!"
