After about a cup of tea, Zhou Xian had some basic understanding of the martial artist in front of him, but his curiosity about him increased instead of diminishing.

He said that his name was Lin Bao, who was 46 years old and was originally a Zhejiang native. Later, he continued to move with the army and finally arrived in Liaodong. Most of the time since then he fought against the Manchu captives. These experiences were nothing, but he said that he was just a small flag in the army, the lowest-level officer who ruled the twelve soldiers, and he didn't even have a membership.

This is obviously a bit inconsistent with his experience of joining the army since he was sixteen and serving in the army for thirty years. If he was a timid and cowardly person who was just a waste of time in the army, this would be understandable. However, no matter from his image or temperament, it is obvious that he can be linked to such a person.

What Zhou Xian most doubted was that he said that he was removed from military origin because of a mistake. This time he brought his young daughter back to his hometown in Zhejiang. However, he did not walk from Shandong to Zhejiang from Liaodong, but instead detoured to Henan. Regardless of whether the length of the path or the safety of the road, the former is undoubtedly the best choice. Unless he is deliberately avoiding something.

Moreover, when he answered Zhou Xian's words, it was simple and clear. Zhou Xian didn't ask, and he wouldn't say a word. When he encountered some things that he was unwilling to answer, he either told him one by one or simply ignored it. In the end, even though Zhou Xian had a lot of questions, he no longer had the interest to continue asking. After all, it was a waste of time to ask.

Although there was such uncertainty, Zhou Xian finally decided to hire him. Because from his answer, although Zhou Xian didn't see much, he at least understood two points.

First of all, he has indeed been with the army, and it is definitely not like what he said, just a small flag captain. Such a person has seen blood and killed people, which is exactly the kind of master Zhou Xian wants.

Secondly, when he answered Zhou Xian's question, even if he didn't want to say it, he did not use lies to make excuses, but chose to remain silent. From this point of view, at least it means that he is still an upright person. And even if an upright person is bad, how can he be ruined?

In addition, Zhou Xian is just recruiting a master, and he is capable. There is no need to search for his roots and figure out everything about others. After all, everyone has their own secrets, and sometimes knowing too much may not be a good thing.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xian finally made up his mind and bowed to Lin Bao and said, "Master Lin, I am very satisfied with you. But you should also know that the martial arts I recruited is a martial artist, and in the end it depends on real kung fu. If you don't mind, I want to do your last investigation."

Lin Bao obviously breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He was not good at speaking. If he hadn't really reached the end of his life, he would never have come here to respond. It's nothing to suffer a little on the road, but if he suffered his precious daughter, he would not forgive himself even if he died. He heard that Zhou Xian was going to examine martial arts, which was what he was really good at. He immediately nodded to Zhou Xian and said, "Please give me a gift."

Zhou Xian led the way in front, and Lin Bao followed closely behind him.

He couldn't help but look at Zhou Xian carefully. He was only over ten years old. He was not tall and never thin. But he was too much thinking, and he was afraid that he would not be able to concentrate on practicing martial arts, and his achievements in the future would not be too great. A bitter smile suddenly flashed on his face, "What should I care about so much?" I'm really going to stay here to teach this little kid! After getting the money, just teach him some casually and deal with it. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. He sighed softly, wondering when did I, Lin Bao, become such a person?

Zhou Xian heard the sigh behind him, and turned his head and looked at Lin Bao's face. "Master Lin, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Bao forced out a smile and said, "It's nothing, haven't you reached the place yet?"

Zhou Xian replied: "It's time to come, just turn the corner in front."

The sun had completely risen at this moment, and it was warm and scattered on its body, making people feel very comfortable. Nearly twenty people had gathered in the schoolyard, either holding guns or fighting with knives, but they really looked like soldiers on the battlefield.

Li Kai's eyes were sharp-eyed, and when he saw Zhou Xian, he hurriedly came over. "Second Young Master, why are you here?"

Zhou Xian smiled at him and said, "Where is Master Zhang? I have something to do with him." Master Zhang is named Zhang Yuan, Zhou Zhen, the eldest brother of Zhou Xian, hired these guards to teach them some skills to fight the enemy. I heard that the force is very strong, Zhou Xian wanted to use him to test how good Lin Bao was in front of him?

Lin Bao's attention was attracted by the various weapons placed in the school ground. When he saw Zhou Xian and Li Kai talking, he walked into the school ground. He touched this from time to time and tried that, with an inexplicable excitement in his eyes.

Li Kai touched his head and said, "Second Young Master, it's a coincidence. The eldest young master just called Master Zhang away, saying that he would put all of us into the local village warriors in the future. He went to him and discussed the specific details. Otherwise, I'll go and see if the eldest young master has finished his work on the side of the young master now?"

Zhou Xian waved his hand and said, "Don't bother them, the one on the big brother is the main business. Besides, you can do it. You can pick out the five best martial arts skills from it. I have something to tell you."

Li Kai responded and turned around to pick someone.

Zhou Tai, Zhou Qian and Zhou Kun also ran over at this time. Especially Zhou Tai, he asked Zhou Xian impatiently: "Uncle, how is it? Is he okay?"

Zhou Xian smiled slightly and said, "I'll know in a while."

Zhou Xian stepped forward, walked to the five people whom Li Kai had just picked out, and whispered to them: "A moment, I will let you fight the one I brought in in turn. If someone among you can knock him over, I will have a heavy reward. But if you let me see that some of them have not done their best, then it will be a heavy punishment."

The five were tall and big. They looked at Lin Bao, who was of medium figure in the distance and had an old face. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, the second young man, the young men will definitely not let you down."

Li Kai next to him said, "Second Young Master, where is me? Can I get on?"

Zhou Xian thought for a while and said, "Then you are at the end. If the five of them have not knocked him down yet, you go again."

Zhou Xian stepped forward and walked towards Lin Bao, who was trying his hand with a long knife, and said, "Master Lin, they are all my guards and they also know some shallow martial arts. Otherwise, you can give them one by one, and this will be the final investigation."
