People write diaries in Zongwu, and the heroes collapse

A high platform had been set up in the martial arts training ground in advance. Mrs. Wang walked up to the high platform and sat down.

Her beautiful eyes swept over everyone in the field. Standing at a high place, she could see everyone's expressions clearly.

The key point is that she looked at the team of third-class guards and found that many people were fascinated by her beauty. Normally, she would definitely lose her temper, but today she did not.

"Everyone's here?"

Mrs. Wang asked Granny Rui beside her.

"Madam, everyone is here."

Granny Rui replied respectfully.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started."

Mrs. Wang said softly.

"Yes, ma'am."

Granny Rui came out and said loudly: "Madam called everyone here today because she wants to gather fifty people to go to Dali to track down the assassin who assassinated the night before. Madam said that this time we will be given a chance to sign up voluntarily. Those who go will be greatly rewarded.”

"If the mission is completed, the reward will be doubled."

Everyone started talking in low voices. Gusu was two to three thousand kilometers away from Dali, and it would take half a month to ride a horse.

Regardless of whether you are acclimatized or not, this journey is also very dangerous, and you may encounter someone who is robbed. Even if a group of people arrived in Dali safely, the two assassins who appeared the night before were not easy to deal with.

Everyone was silent, this trip was not going to be easy.

no! Absolutely no go.

Grandma Rui may have known about this situation for a long time, so she added again: "Those who go this time will be given a subsidy of fifty taels of silver, and those who come back will be given another fifty taels of silver."

"In addition, those who have meritorious service this time will be rewarded with a skill."

After hearing this, everyone was immediately excited. One hundred taels of silver, plus the skills, this reward is too generous.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

"I regestrated!"

"I'll sign up too!"

"I go!"

……

Suddenly many people shouted loudly.

At first, it was the first-class guards and second-class guards, and later, even the third-class guards, several people signed up one after another.

Mrs. Wang kept looking at the third guard. She found that some people kept peeking at her, and later more people peeked at her.

However, there were a few people who kept their heads down.

Those few who signed up enthusiastically were already excluded by her yesterday.

Lu Chen also hesitated at this time.

Mrs. Wang's behavior today is a bit weird. According to her character, she will not engage in such a behavior. She will only send a few capable men and let them lead the pursuit.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

Lu Chen lowered his head and decided not to go.

The two techniques at Wuliang Mountain are good, but with this diary, he will become a strong man sooner or later, so there is no need to take risks.

"Lu Chen! Lu Chen!"

Zhang Tong called out twice, and when Lu Chen looked at him, he asked in a low voice: "This is such a good treatment, why don't you sign up?"

"I'm in poor health and can't walk that far."

Lu Chen made a random excuse.

Zhang Tong remembered that Lu Chen was indeed not in good health, so he didn't say anything else. As for why he didn't sign up, it was purely because he was afraid of death.

Soon there were fifty places. Grandma Rui thought that Mrs. Wang would be very happy, but when she turned around, she saw Mrs. Wang's face was terrifyingly gloomy.

She had been with Mrs. Wang for many years and knew her temper, but she thought about it and realized that there was no problem just now.

"Madam, the list is ready, do you have any other instructions?" Granny Rui asked cautiously.

"Damn little thief, he's hiding so deep. It seems I'm too anxious."

Mrs. Wang looked gloomy and realized her mistake.

This little thief is insidious and cunning, how could he be easily fooled.

She snorted coldly and walked off the platform.

Granny Rui followed her and left.

On the way back to the backyard, Mrs. Wang suddenly stopped and said to Granny Rui: "The old servant who cleans the Langhuan Jade Cave is old now. I see that he can no longer walk very neatly. Give him twenty taels of silver." Let him return to his hometown to rest in peace."

Grandma Rui asked: "Then who will replace him?"

"You go and recruit one of the new guards."

Mrs. Wang ordered.

Grandma Rui turned back and saw that the first-class and second-class guards had left, and there were still about twenty third-class guards.

A guard asked attentively: "Grandma Rui, do you have any other orders?"

"Langhuan Jade Cave needs a handyman to sweep the floor. Which of you is willing to go?"

Grandma Rui asked.

"Handboy..."

When everyone heard that he was a handyman, they were naturally unhappy.

Although there are dangers in being a guard, the advantage is that the salary is good, and you can also have half a day to practice martial arts. If there is no danger, this little life is still very happy.

They had never heard of Langhuan Jade Cave. It was not surprising that a wealthy family would have some elegant names. In their opinion, there was no future at all as a handyman, and they might as well be a guard.

Even if you can't survive in Mantuo Villa, you can still go to another one. Anyway, there are many rich families in Gusu City, and you are afraid of not being able to find a guard job.

No one is willing to go. They are still young, so naturally they are not very happy to be asked to work as handymen.

Furthermore, the handymen were not as free as they are now.

Everyone looked at each other and bowed their heads, and some even left calmly.

Grandma Rui frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything. She could also understand who at such a young age would be willing to work as a handyman.

Lu Chen's expression changed and he shouted, "I'll go!"

Everyone looked around and saw that it was Lu Chen.

Zhang Tong pulled Lu Chen and whispered: "Lu Chen, you are crazy. You are so young and you are doing some handyman work. As a guard, you can also practice some martial arts. In the future, you can continue to be a guard or help others. You can make a living. If you become a handyman, you will be able to do nothing in the future. If you know nothing, can you still be a handyman for the rest of your life?"

Zhang Tong was older than Lu Chen, and he didn't want to see Lu Chen spend his whole life as a handyman with no future.

Even though most of them are just waiting to die, they are not willing to work as handymen, which shows how low the status of handymen is.

"Lu Chen, you have to think clearly."

"This handyman is not that easy to do, and he doesn't have much of a future."

"How about you think about it again."

People who were familiar with Lu Chen came over to persuade Lu Chen.

"Thank you everyone. I, Lu Chen, don't have any big ambitions, and there is no one else in my family. I don't have much talent in martial arts, so a handyman is quite suitable for me."

Lu Chen cupped his hands and thanked them. They also had good intentions, and those who were unfamiliar with him would not come to persuade him. They wished that Lu Chen would go, so that Granny Rui would not force Granny Rui to choose one of them to go.

Everyone saw that Lu Chen was sincere, and what Lu Chen said was also true. They were used to a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife, and naturally they couldn't do it if they were asked to do handymen again.

However, Lu Chen was different. He was still young. Although working as a handyman was not very good, he could at least save his life.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Granny Rui came to Lu Chen and took a look at him. She had some impression of Lu Chen. He was an honest young man who practiced swordplay very hard every time. However, his martial arts talent was average, so no wonder he was willing to do handyman work.

"Grandma Rui, I've thought about it. I don't have any big ambitions. I just want to live and earn some money and marry a wife in the future."

Grandma Rui nodded lightly, without any suspicion. She guessed that Lu Chen must have been frightened by the death of so many people the night before.

"You come with me."

Grandma Rui personally led the way and took Lu Chen to Langhuan Jade Cave.

Along the way, Granny Rui told Lu Chen some rules, and then asked accidentally: "Do you know how to read?"

Lu Chen's heart tightened. Others didn't know where the Langhuan Jade Cave was. How could he not know? Li Qingluo originally moved all the exercises from the caves in the deep valleys of Wuliang Mountain to Mantuo Villa, and then named it Langhuan Jade Cave in memory of her parents.
