Chapter 610 Let's go together
After that, Zhou Xu asked about the other side's troop deployment. The overall deployment was standard, and there was nothing special about it.
After temporarily ending the interrogation, Zhou Xu walked out of the cell. After taking two steps, he couldn't help but ask Shi Lei beside him a question.
"Shi Lei, what do you think of the name Long Aotian?"
Shi Lei was confused by this question, but he still answered truthfully.
"I think it sounds impressive."
“…”
Zhou Xu could see that Shi Lei really thought this name was awesome.
But in his original world, this kind of name has basically become a synonym for vulgar and low-brow.
If I named my child Long Aotian, I would probably be laughed at to death.
But if you think about it carefully, there is actually nothing wrong with the name itself. It's just that in the early days of online literature, similar names were used too many times, even overused, so everyone felt that they were low-class. When they saw similar names, they felt it was extremely awkward and even toxic.
Putting aside these external factors, is the name itself really that bad?
You know, back then this was a name only the protagonist could have.
He didn't dwell on the names of the four dragon generals; he just asked casually.
Then Zhou Xu's sight fell on the soldier who came out with him.
"You did a good job just now."
The soldier was flattered to receive the sudden praise from their king.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I will work harder to serve you!"
During the interrogation just now, his small action was not something Zhou Xu informed him to do.
It is not difficult to see from this that this is a soldier with some skills.
With curiosity in his heart, Zhou Xu directly opened the "Eye of Insight" to confirm the other party's panel.
The soldier's name was Liu Dahe. All five attributes were two stars, which was nothing special. However, his talent was quite interesting. It was called "psychological pressure".
"I plan to set up an interrogation department, which will be responsible for interrogating prisoners of war and criminals. You will be the director of this department."
Liu Dahe never expected that such a good thing would happen to him so suddenly. He was so excited that he knelt down on the spot.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
At the same time, other soldiers around him also cast envious glances at him.
Although they don't know what the position of "Director" is now, there is no doubt that this guy has been promoted.
"Let's go and check on the soldier who said there are 5,000 troops."
Although Shang Xijun's mental breakdown did not seem fake, Zhou Xu would not believe him completely.
[The soldier guessed the same number of troops as him, 5,000, and I don't know if it was a coincidence. ]
With this doubt in his mind, Zhou Xu went straight over to interrogate him.
Just like what Shi Lei had reported to him before, the soldier said that he had no idea how many troops he had, and that five thousand was just a blind guess.
In response to this situation, Zhou Xu called the soldiers behind him without saying a word and directly implemented the dripping punishment on him.
This soldier collapsed faster than Shang Xijun, crying and shouting that he didn't know and was just guessing.
From the current perspective, it should really be a simple accident.
But this also made Liu Dahe and others, who had experienced torture twice, more curious about this torture.
Seeing the disbelief in the other person's eyes, Zhou Xu smiled, and a hint of evil taste arose in his heart.
"You will be the director of the interrogation department in the future. You should have a thorough understanding of the effect of this torture device. I see that you are also very curious. How about this, Liu Dahe, you will be the first one and you all go to experience it."
Liu Dahe was stunned when he heard this.
He admitted that he did have a brief thought of wanting to give it a try, but the miserable state of Shang Xijun and the others was there. Just by looking at their appearance, Liu Dahe and the others became more afraid of this drop of punishment.
Now the king proposed to let them experience it, everyone, including Liu Dahe, had the urge to refuse, but no one dared to speak.
[Just for the experience, nothing should happen. ]
With this thought in mind, Liu Dahe lay down.
It was fine at first. I just felt uncomfortable with the ice water dripping on my forehead, and I was tied up and unable to move. I couldn't see or hear clearly, so it was a bit uncomfortable.
But as time went on, Liu Dahe gradually became a little irritable, his body began to struggle unconsciously, and he even had an urge to vent his emotions, but he was able to hold it back and did not explode.
Zhou Xu just wanted to give them the experience and had no intention of torturing them. After seeing Liu Dahe begin to struggle, he ordered his men to let him down.
At that moment, there was a hint of fear in Liu Dahe's eyes when he looked at the torture chair.
Although he did not suffer a mental breakdown like Shang Xijun and the others, he knew in his heart that something was very wrong with his condition at that time.
The others behind went up one by one to try. As for Zhou Xu, although he was curious, he had no interest in making himself suffer.
It's enough to know about this kind of thing, there's no need to experience it yourself.
"Shi Lei, do you want to experience it too?"
Hearing their king's proposal, Shi Lei, who was standing next to them, suddenly stiffened and then gave a dry cough.
"Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered that I still have some military affairs to deal with..."
Zhou Xu laughed out loud after hearing this.
"I remember that I have one too. Want to go with me?"
"Let's go together! Your Majesty, please."
The king and his minister just walked away smiling.
This matter is very time-consuming, and Zhou Xu had no intention of staying here all the time from the beginning.
After today, the horrific punishment called "dripping punishment" quickly spread among the soldiers at the border of the mountains, and each one of them said it was as weird as it could be.
These rumors undoubtedly reached the ears of Zhou Xu and Shi Lei, but neither of them was interested in caring about them.
Soldiers are also human beings. They are stationed on the border all year round. Apart from training, they also perform patrol missions. They always have to find some fun to relax, and they don't mind chatting about some harmless gossip.
At the same time, this incident also served as a reminder to Zhou Xu.
"Shi Lei, do you think we can come up with a training or game that can provide some exercise effect and also help the soldiers relax?"
The training and execution of tasks also require relaxation and tension. Sufficient relaxation can allow them to perform training and tasks better.
When this idea came into being, the first thing Zhou Xu thought of was some sports like basketball and football.
It can be used for both physical exercise and play.
But then he changed his mind and realized that this was not possible because the mountainous area did not provide them with such an environment.
As for sports such as tennis and badminton, which are basically one-on-one or at most doubles, it is impossible to arrange them when there are so many soldiers.
After ruling out these most easily thought-of options, Zhou Xu suddenly had an idea.
That's the ghost hunting game! The so-called ghost hunting game is simply divided into two camps: humans and ghosts. Humans can escape or hide, while ghosts are responsible for catching people.
Ghosts can capture people and lock them up, but humans can rescue them depending on the situation.
This game, while being able to mobilize a large number of soldiers to join, the pursuit tests physical strength and leg speed, hiding tests observation and the ability to use the environment for cover, and rescuing and capturing people requires even more strategy.
After listening to Zhou Xu's description, Shi Lei was stunned for a moment. He could never have imagined that their king could come up with such a training game with the idea of having fun for the soldiers.
This game is easy to get started, but difficult to master. If you want to play well, you have to put in a lot of effort.
For a moment, Shi Lei was full of admiration for their king.
