On the other side, the "uniquely ugly" centurion quietly followed the soldier who led the way. He didn't say a word along the way.
Considering that the centurion's legs were inconvenient, the soldier didn't walk too fast. The details were indescribably considerate.
After a while, the centurion's brown cheeks were slightly hot, and he thanked the soldier in a low, muffled voice.
"Master Feng has specially instructed us. It's not a small contribution."
The soldier replied in a businesslike manner.
During winter, one should walk faster so that the body could generate heat from the inside out and resist the cold. However, in order to match the centurion's pace, the few soldiers who led the way didn't dare to complain. They endured the cold and sent him out of the tent. They lowered their heads and lowered their hands.
"Go in. The lord and master are already waiting for you inside. Don't let them wait too long."
"Thank you very much."
The centurion cupped his fists and then carefully entered the tent.
When he opened the tent curtain, warm air with the light fragrance of pear blossoms blew into his face, dispersing the cold air around him.
The tent had been carefully tidied up. A layer of soft animal skin cushion was spread on the ground, and an exquisite and small incense burner was placed in the middle.
It finally looked like a commander's tent.
"I'm Qi Kuang. Greetings to District Magistrate Liu."
The centurion's legs were inconvenient, so his salute wasn't as neat as a normal person's, but it could be seen that his attitude was serious and not perfunctory.
There were two people in the tent. A young man sat upright on the seat of honor. He looked a few years younger than Yang Tao, and his eyes were full of vigor. The other person was the scholar, Feng Zhen, who had tried to rope him in. Compared to Jiang Pengji's neat sitting posture, Feng Zhen seemed a little "weak and boneless."
He leaned against the table as if he had no bones. He squinted his eyes and looked at the centurion, Qi Kuang.
"My lord, this is the talent I mentioned before."
Jiang Pengji agreed and said to Qi Kuang, "Get up. The weather is cold and the ground is cold. It's not good for your legs to kneel for a long time."
The centurion Qi Kuang stood up with his hands on both sides and his head slightly lowered. His gaze fell on the bronze incense burner not far in front of Jiang Pengji.
Jiang Pengji asked Qi Kuang, "Do you know why I borrowed you?"
Qi Kuang replied calmly, "The county chief already told me that District Magistrate Liu saw my unique appearance and borrowed me for a look."
Hearing the reply, Jiang Pengji secretly frowned.
No matter who saw Qi Kuang's appearance, they could understand the vile mockery hidden in the words "unique appearance".
Yang Jian wasn't easy to deal with either. He really knew how to make enemies for her.
Even if he did not know that Jiang Pengji was only pretending to borrow people and was actually poaching people, he was still cautious and dug a trap for her.
However, in the end, it was still Feng Zhen, the prodigal son's fault. Just listen to what kind of lousy excuses this brat came up with. Who would do something like this!
She, as the lord, had to take the blame for the little princess's counselor.
Tsk — I'm not happy.
"That's just an excuse, it can't be taken seriously. As for my true motive, do you know? "
She looked at Qi Kuang with a faint smile. Her godly skill, the Great Deception Spell, had entered cooldown and was waiting to be used.
Qi Kuang was startled. His expression finally changed, and he looked a little cautious.
"I understand."
The livestream was still ongoing. The audience in the livestream room knew that Jiang Pengji was going to recruit new employees again, so they stayed there and refused to leave.
According to their "understanding" of Jiang Pengji, this lord had a problem with appearance.
The people she recruited were either young or extremely handsome men. Even if they were old, they were still old handsome men … Even if they were not handsome, they were talented people with outstanding temperament. They wouldn't be ugly if they were dressed up a little. In short, appearance was very important!
However, reality was cruel. Their passion was met with an unprecedented attack, and their hearts were broken.
Linengdianding Wei Zixiao: "Streamer, I know it's wrong to be a rooster, but I still have to say that after rounding up Qi Kuang's appearance, he is still a long way from passing the standard. Streamer, are you sure you want to rope this person in? He will pull down the average appearance of the whole group! Aren't you known as the Universal Beauties Heavenly Group? Don't give up on treatment … "
Zishuanbaoshuibaofuzishi: "Pfft … Although the mockery above is very harsh, I also think … Yes, yes, yes, we don't welcome Qi Kuang to join us. The reason is very simple. He is too ugly and will affect the mood of work. However, as the lord of a powerful group, the streamer can't be so willful. No matter how much we object, we probably can't shake the streamer's determination. It was better to accept reality.
Competitive Qiguan Rang: "As expected, even if we're in a different plane, the aesthetic standards of humans are the same. This is a cruel, cold, and superficial world. But then again, Qi Kuang isn't valued by Yang Jian. Isn't it because he's ugly? If he was good-looking, how could the streamer's hoe be his turn? They had been dug out long ago. Now that they were short of people, it was already good enough that they had people, yet they were still picky!
Ugly as No Salt Li Hanmei: "I can accept anything that is beneficial to the streamer. Pretty or ugly, I don't care. Actually, from a male's point of view, I still hope that the overall attractiveness of the streaming room can be lowered, with fewer handsome guys and more beautiful girls … Seriously, can you imagine when I'm dating my girlfriend, she's holding up the pretty boy Liyun's photo, making all sorts of noises and screams?
Jiang Pengji glanced at the series of IDs. Deep down, she was already holding back her laughter and suffering. These IDs were obviously fans who hated them deeply.
Especially [Self-cleansing Feng Zi Shi], he was so black!
Feng Zhen, who was at the side, didn't know what was going on. He shifted uneasily, changing his kneeling position.
Jiang Pengji collected her thoughts and focused on dealing with Qi Kuang.
"Since you know, are you willing?"
She never liked to beat around the bush. It was the same when she recruited people. She went straight to the point.
If he was willing, he was willing. If he wasn't … Yes, yes, yes. She would think of a way to make people willing.
Qi Kuang looked hesitant. He plucked up his courage and raised his head. His eyes met Jiang Pengji's. After their eyes met, he quickly lowered his eyelids.
He secretly clenched his fists, plucked up his courage, and told the truth.
"According to what I know, District Magistrate Liu doesn't need to train the navy now. Recruiting me is just to keep an idler."
Qi Kuang felt that even if he jumped ship, he wouldn't be put in an important position.
Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows. So he was worried about this. She said, "We don't need the navy now, but it doesn't mean that we don't need to train them. It also doesn't mean that we won't need them in the future. Soldiers are trained for a thousand days to be used in one day. When we need to use the navy and I only have non-swimmers, it'll be too late. As for keeping an idler? My family has a big business. Even if I don't need the navy in this lifetime, so what if I keep you? "
Qi Kuang was silent for a while. Jiang Pengji didn't rush him.
"I was born ugly, my legs are handicapped, and my appearance is unsightly. District Magistrate Liu, do you really not mind?"
