"Quiet!"
Jiang Yi scanned the crowd and said, "I'm asking you to stay in the castle as bodyguards, and I won't treat you unfairly. The bodyguard company pays you five thousand Eagle Coins a month. If you're willing to stay, I'll give you ten times that salary!"
Upon hearing this, all the bodyguards were stunned!
They never expected Jiang Yi to be so generous.
"Are you telling the truth?" one bodyguard asked.
"Of course, it's true!"
Jiang Yi smiled slightly. "I have no reason to lie to you. You can give me your bank account numbers later, and I'll transfer the money to your accounts immediately!"
Hearing this, all the bodyguards' faces lit up with excitement.
The salary Jiang Yi offered was ten times their current pay.
For people like them with low incomes, such good treatment was impossible to find even with a lantern.
"We're willing to stay!"
The bodyguards said in unison.
"Don't be so quick to make a decision!"
Jiang Yi continued, "I'm not giving you such high wages for nothing. Starting today, I will train you. The training will be very tough, with twenty hours of high-intensity training every day, almost a boot camp!"
When they heard this, hesitation appeared on everyone's faces.
Clearly, they were scared and didn't want to endure hardship.
"Why do you need to train us?" one bodyguard asked.
"I want to train you into top experts to protect the castle's safety, it's that simple!"
Jiang Yi explained, "Once your skills satisfy me, I will give you another ten times your current salary on top of the original amount, meaning you'll earn fifty thousand a month." Sudanshu.com
As soon as he said this, the crowd couldn't stand still!
A salary of fifty thousand a month was something they couldn't even dream of.
Then, they would all become rich, able to live in villas and drive luxury cars.
"If you want to leave, you can go now. I won't stop you!" Jiang Yi said.
The bodyguards who were about to give up immediately changed their minds and decided not to leave!
For them, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If they missed it, they would regret it forever.
All fifty bodyguards stayed, and not a single one chose to leave.
Jiang Yi smiled.
Indeed, money power worked best.
"Since you've all agreed to stay, I'll tell you about my requirements!"
Jiang Yi looked at the crowd and said, "First, I need your absolute loyalty and unconditional obedience to my orders!"
"Second, your training here in the castle must be kept secret. You cannot tell anyone, not even your family!"
"These are my basic requirements. If anyone cannot meet them, they can leave!"
"Yes!" everyone quickly got up and replied.
Jiang Yi was very satisfied now.
"Now, I will give you your first lesson!"
Jiang Yi said, "All of you, come at me together. Let me see your skills!"
Upon hearing this, everyone burst out laughing.
"Mr. Jiang, don't joke with us. We are all martial artists, and we usually go to the gym. We are also much bigger than you. How could you possibly be our opponent!"
They said with a laugh.
"Since you are so confident, then give it a try! If anyone can knock me down, I'll give them a reward of one million!" Jiang Yi declared.
Without thinking, they charged forward.
As a result, the more than fifty of them couldn't do anything to Jiang Yi. As soon as they made a move, several bodyguards were knocked down by Jiang Yi.
The reason Jiang Yi fought them, besides testing their abilities, was also to teach them a lesson.
They were too arrogant, and he needed to let them know what a true master was.
A minute later, all fifty-odd bodyguards were lying on the ground.
And Jiang Yi was completely unharmed.
"You are too weak!" Jiang Yi stated.
The crowd was looking at Jiang Yi with shock. They had never imagined that Jiang Yi's skills were so astonishing.
More than fifty of them were taken down by Jiang Yi in just one minute, and they didn't even get a chance to get close to him.
The crowd looked at Jiang Yi with admiration, in addition to surprise.
"This is Chinese Kung Fu. If you follow my instructions and train, you will be as powerful as me one day!" Jiang Yi said.
Hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with excitement.
Now, even if Jiang Yi didn't pay them, they would willingly stay.
Because they all wanted to be as powerful as Jiang Yi.
Eagle Country was a warlike nation, and also a nation that admired strength. They often resolved issues with force.
Therefore, their greatest desire was to become experts who could take on dozens of opponents.
"I will now teach you a basic set of combat techniques. This set of techniques will help you build a solid foundation!"
After speaking, Jiang Yi began to demonstrate.
Everyone watched with wide eyes, paying close attention, afraid of missing any movement.
As this was a very basic combat technique, Jiang Yi finished the demonstration in three minutes.
As long as they could learn it, they would have a very solid foundation.
"I'll give you two days to learn this combat technique, and you must also grasp its essence. After two days, I will personally check. Anyone who is not up to standard will be dismissed immediately!"
Jiang Yi announced.
"Yes!"
The crowd quickly responded.
Jiang Yi said no more, turned, and left the courtyard, heading towards the main hall.
Upon reaching the hall, Jiang Yi drank a cup of tea and began to ponder.
The bodyguards had decent foundations, but it was very difficult to train them into top experts within half a month.
He had to find a way to speed things up.
"Why do you look so worried!"
Dongfang Mei, sitting on the sofa, said.
Jiang Yi explained what he was thinking.
"Aren't you a divine physician? Your medical skills are so advanced, you can develop some pills to improve their physical fitness and agility. This way, it might be twice as effective with half the effort," Dongfang Mei suggested.
"Right!"
Jiang Yi slapped his thigh.
This method was indeed excellent.
Developing such medicine was not difficult for Jiang Yi.
It would only take a day or two to create it.
