Changxiu Street is located in the south of the King Xing Mansion, more than a hundred feet away from the inner city moat. Unlike the streets with shops in Nanguo City, Changxiu Street is surrounded by villas with Jiangnan garden style. The "Recruitment Hall" is located in the middle of the east side of Changxiu Street.

At the tenth hour of the fifth month, Luo Xiaoyao, who had already signed up for the hall on the ninth day of the fifth month, came to the "Recruitment Hall" with Jianwei Zhanwu as an appointment, and followed the guidance of the servant at the door and walked to the atrium hall.

The hall is more than six meters long and three meters deep. I think it is because of the large number of people being recruited. The hall is arranged like a conference hall. There is a crossing in the middle of the east, and five rows of embroidered pedestals on the north and south sides, each row has four.

There were more than a dozen people sitting in the lower hall, three of whom were the Arrow Guards of Tongbao Pavilion. After Luo Xiaoyao and Zhan Wu took their seats, seven more brilliant young men came one after another. If you count them carefully, there were as many as twenty-two people.

Shen Shi was about to arrive. A man in his 40s in a light blue dress walked into the hall, walked to the center of the main seat, stood in front of the main seat, glanced at the people in the hall, smiled slightly, and bowed: "I am Zhao Han, I am fortunate to be appreciated by General Xu, the guard of the prison. He is the head of the recruitment hall. Today, he will give all the talents to enter the prison guards. Zhao is honored."

After pausing, he led his body to sit down at the main seat. Zhao Han smiled and said, "The saint has said that God will give a great responsibility to this person. He must first suffer his mind and mind, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body, and be empty and useless. He will do what he does. Therefore, he will move his heart and endure his nature and increase his ability."

"For those who practice martial arts, we quote the words of the saints, and the fatigue of the talents and bones, and the fatigue of the body... Zhao's merely achieves a small level of spiritual consciousness, and dare not speak loudly. However, the firmness of the martial arts is not only achieved by martial arts, but also by meditation through ordinary experience."

"All the talents are famous in the family. I think they know how to fight with others. Even if they have half the difference in their cultivation, if they can be safe and unsuspecting, they will have more chances to win."

The level of martial arts cultivation is not the key to determining the outcome. Although the masters compete in an instant, it is precisely the number of this moment. If they can remain calm and respond calmly, it is also an opportunity to turn defeat into victory. There are extraordinary fighting characters in the world who defeat the strong with the weak, all because they are clear in fighting, and can advance and retreat in an instant and turn danger into a bargain.

Everyone felt that what Zhao Han said was reasonable, and they all nodded secretly. They also heard Zhao Han say, "Just as the saint said, the actions are chaotic, so they are moved and endured to their nature and increase their inability. This is the purpose of recruiting talents... Therefore, the determination of recruiting talents is the determination of all talents."

"The so-called wine, sex, wealth, and energy, Zhao believes that wine, heart, color, soul, wealth, spirit, energy, spirit, spirit, soul, heart, soul, heart, soul, soul, soul, soul, soul, soul, soul, spirit, soul, spirit, spirit, spirit, spirit, spirit, if the mind is stable, soul is strong. But I think that there are many heroes in the world who regard money as a kind of manure, wealth, or Zhao's simple view... Therefore, this concentration assessment is based on wine and color."

"However, you are a person who is a Guyuan realm and a true realm. If you use internal strength to resolve the power of wine, you will think you will not be drunk for a thousand cups. Therefore, when you are tasting, you hope not to use martial arts and qi to resolve the power of wine. Violators will naturally disqualify their participation and their behavior will be announced outside the museum. I hope you will love and respect yourself."

Once the energy is used to dissolve the power of the wine, we will naturally force the wine we drink out of our body. At that time, the clothes we wear will definitely be wet. If the wine is forced into the ground, it will be impossible to escape others' discovery. Everyone thought it was disdainful, and when they heard this, they shook their heads and chuckled.

"There are three kinds of fine wines you drink, a total of fifteen kilograms. Of course, it is impossible to make the talents here drunk with these fifteen kilograms. But what is carefully considered is not your alcohol content, but your concentration. Therefore, when you taste wine, you will accompany you with a beautiful woman and send you a musical dance for you to enjoy."

"At that time, Zhao will make a valiant evaluation of his concentration based on his demeanor when he tastes wine and listens to music. He will use the skills he has practiced to resist the beauty of the wine... As long as it does not affect others, it is not considered a violation. If you are chanting Buddhist scriptures, remember to whisper..."

Everyone laughed loudly when they heard this, and Zhao Han smiled slightly, "If you have no objection, you will sit at Yingchun Pavilion..."

"Master Zhao, I have something to ask for advice below..." said a young man wearing white clothes in the second position in the front row of the south side.

"Please speak with Mr. Li..."

"Is it only the headmaster Zhao who is here to evaluate our concentration?" The young master surnamed Li looked around everyone, "I am sorry to be disrespectful. Only three people will be selected this time, but if three of the people who took the exam were there, they would be the headmaster..."

Before the young master surnamed Li finished speaking, Zhao Han laughed, "This time, the only one in the museum is Zhao, but all the talents are also savvy people. What Mr. Li is suspicious is to see what he has to do after the wine and music is over."

If Luo Xiaoyao hadn't known the real purpose of the selection of talents, judging from Zhao Han's words and deeds, he thought he was not a lie. He could hear his words "I will know after the end of the wine and music", but he would probably be very harsh in his heart.

When the young master surnamed Li looked around again when he heard this, he saw that everyone was eager to try their luck and didn't care about what he suspected, so he shook his head and bowed, "I'm so rude."

"Then you all follow Zhao's party..." Zhao Han stood up and walked out of the hall. Seeing this, everyone left their seats and followed.

After passing the corridor, I walked out of the hall, but saw that there was a unique cave in the back garden, and the pavilions and towers were arranged in an orderly manner among the green plants and flowers. With Zhao Han's guidance, everyone stepped onto the bluestone path in the garden and walked towards a bamboo forest on the south side.

Walking out of the bamboo forest, I saw a large artificial lake near the south courtyard wall. A water pavilion was built on the north side. Unlike ordinary water pavilions, there was an open platform. This two-thirds of the sky-mounted columns were built on the water pavilion on the lake, surrounded by walls and windows on all sides.

Walking in from the middle door in the north, I saw a zither case facing the window three feet opposite, and there was a guqin on the case. Two maids wearing gauze and slightly exposed shoulders were kneeling beside the zither case. Seeing everyone walking, they stood up and bowed to salute, and then squatted to light the sandalwood in the incense burner beside the zither case.

There are four rows of short cases on each side of the east and west sides. I think it is set up based on the number of candidates. Except for two in the back row, there are three in each row, and each short case is three feet wide between the left and right sides.

Zhao Han walked to a place two feet wide in the middle, glanced at everyone, and said, "There is a piece of paper on the table with the names of all the talents and men. Please take your seat according to your names."

When everyone heard this, they saw that there was a piece of pony paper the size of a palm on each short table. They walked to the desk as they said, and found a table with their own name and seated.

Luo Xiaoyao, who sat in the middle of the second row on the east side, looked at the empty cushion beside him, and remembered what Zhao Han said about the words of a beautiful woman, and smiled bitterly in his heart.

When Zhao Han saw everyone sitting down, he coughed slightly, cleared his throat and said, "The so-called alcohol can disrupt nature, which means to clarify the nature of a person. If the mind has no distracting thoughts, there will be no saying that after drinking, he will drown his sorrows by drinking, and he will use alcohol to do evil. Therefore, those who know that alcohol use wine to nourish the energy, nourish the nature and even maintain health."

"But everyone in the world has something to ask for, or they can't get it, or they can't get it, but they have sorrow and resentment. This wine has become what some people call confidants. However, they don't know that before the wine is in my arms, the demons in my heart have arisen... Zhao is not talented, so he uses this simple view as a warning, and I hope you can encourage yourself."

After a while, he patted his palms for three times, and more than a dozen men in strong suits were walking in their hands. Two rounds, they placed the wine on each table. Then they saw a group of beautiful women wearing green and chest-clad skirts, wearing tulle on the outside, and exposed their shoulders and backs.

He walked to everyone in turn, put the silver wine pot in his hand, then bowed to his salute, and then knelt down on the soft cushion that was empty beside everyone.

This short case is three feet long, and one person sees wide, but the two are very narrow. Except for Xiao Muyun, Luo Xiaoyao, who has never sat so close to a woman, but felt that the woman's shoulders were close to her, and her body was refreshing, and her heart was beaten for a moment. But seeing Zhao Han's gaze swept towards everyone with a smile, Luo Xiaoyao remembered what he called the so-called superficial warning statement just now, and said insult, his mind was shaking, and he calmed down.

"The wines on your desk are from Huadiao brewed by the Han family in Jiangnan. This wine has always been favored by the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wuyue royal family. It is soft in nature and has a sweet and fragrant aftertaste. It is accompanied by steamed crabs and steamed fish, so you can taste the truth..."

As soon as Zhao Han finished speaking, eight maids walked in with three-layer food boxes, walked separately to the north passage of each row of tables and stopped, put down the food boxes, squatted and opened them, but in an instant, they placed a steamed sea crab and a steamed sea fish on each table.

At this time, the women in green who were sitting there opened the wine and poured it into the wine pot, but they picked up the five-pound wine jar with a calm expression. Without exploring their aura, they could see that they were all martial arts practitioners.

"This wine is five pounds. I hope you can drink it all in an incense stick..." Zhao Han paused, then walked to the piano table and sat cross-legged, smiling at everyone with a surprised look, "Zhao is a little chord with the piano music, and play a song first to let you down."

After a pause, he first blew the strings of the piano with his right hand, and a sound of spring water drifted by. Then he moved his hands together, and when his fingers were pulled and pressed, a lonely and sad string sounded quietly.

"The long river flows away from Wuji, and Bailing is a pity.

The autumn wind and white dew are stained with people's clothes, and the ambition is withering and robbing the color..."

At this time, a woman's singing came from somewhere, singing with the sad strings.

The women sitting beside everyone were all in love with each other and heard the sound, but they made people feel pity. The woman sitting next to Luo Xiaoyao looked like she was worried with you, and raised a cup to deliver the wine to his lips with sad eyes. Luo Xiaoyao was already in a state of mind, so he was not disturbed. With a smile on his face, he raised his hand calmly to take the cup, and slapped his head and drank it down.

This poem "Going Out" in Meng Jiao's "Going Out" is helpless in not meeting talent, and the sadness of being separated from his beloved woman are expressed through the lyrics of the piano music, but it makes people feel emotional and sad.

Except for Luo Xiaoyao and the five people who had some plans, the other people who came to take the exam were originally looking for the government and were just a legitimate boy. Although they had not been married, they all had people who were secretly beloved. In addition, the sadness of the woman sitting by the side made some people who took the exam look melancholy and drank with murmur after cup of heart.

"The southern mountains are so majestic and white stones are rotten, and the blue sea is vast and endless. The ginsengs appear and cannot be treated by each other. I want to be in the sky without feathers..."

As the resentful and sad songs fell, the string sounds lingered, and everyone drank a jar of Huadiao wine.

Zhao Han stood up, glanced at the hall and said slowly: "I am sad and relieved, and I wish you can live up to my pleasure. Next, I would like to taste the 'green' wine from the Yan family in Shuzhong. This wine is mellow and soft, and it is soft and soft. It should be served with meat and cold dishes to fulfill its nature... The amount is also five pounds, but the time it takes to taste wine is half an hour."

There was already a servant in his words. The maid brought the wine and food to the table. Luo Xiaoyao saw that it was poured out with a "green green" color, its color was light green, its appearance was condensed, and its fragrance was suffocating. He knew that he was not inferior to "returning drunk" at a glance, and he was secretly happy.

He is not a person who loves wine. He heard Zhao Han praise wine as something that can see the nature of the mind. When his heart feels something, he put aside his distracting thoughts and faces this concentration with the heart of tasting wine and knowing wine.

At this time, I saw a petite and beautiful woman walking into the hall, and after reaching the piano desk, standing still, giving a blessing to everyone, and then kneeling down, playing the piano and playing music.

As the gentle and happy rhythm rose, four tall and beautiful women danced in, swinging like a dragon through the clouds, and their bodies whirled like a stunning geese. On the two-meter square field in the middle of the pavilion, they were sometimes like flowers blooming, sometimes like colorful clouds chasing the moon, and the sound of the piano made people enjoy the audio-visual pleasure.

At this time, the woman sitting beside everyone was as beautiful as a flower, her beautiful eyes were filled with affection. Sometimes she added wine to the pot, sometimes she raised chopsticks and picked vegetables, considerate and delicate, but also tender.

As Zhao Han said, once everyone is sad, happiness will be renewed. If Hua Diao drinks melancholy, the "green" makes people happy. Although Hua Diao is sweet and soft, its strength is long, it stimulates the "green" wine. I have seen someone put his hand around the woman's slender waist and whisper in a low voice.

When the wine was about to end, the sound of music lingered in the sound of music, and the servants held a jar of fine wine on everyone's desk. Zhao Han, who was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the piano, closed his eyes and rested, but he did not get up to tell the origin of the wine and the time of tasting.

Luo Xiaoyao was surprised and saw a girl playing the piano and four dancers leading out of the hall. But at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of the pipa and pipa on the lake south. Everyone looked through the window, but they saw two boats on the lake, and the musicians were accompanied by sheng flutes, cymbals, or small drums.

Immediately afterwards, a white shadow flashed in the hall, and a humble girl flew into the outside of the hall door, putting the red drum half a person tall and the size of a palm into the middle of the hall, twisting her plump body and turning around the red drum, and her palms slapped with the music played by the musician on the lake.

With the low sound of "dongdong", Hu Ji suddenly paused and jumped onto the drum face as big as a palm. But when she saw her naked jade feet, she sometimes stood on her toes on the drum face and danced in the air, sometimes she flew in the air, but she never stood with her feet together when she fell on the drum face.

Luo Xiaoyao had already seen that this Hu Ji was a skill for the Qi training realm. Although her skills could prevent the drum from falling, the wonderful dance posture and the rapid change of body shape were amazing.

As the music on the boat became more gentle, the Hu Ji's movements slowed down. But everyone saw the gauze tightly wrapped, and the faint snow muscles twisted along with her waist, outlining her plump figure with a heart-warming curve.

At this time, the wine cup on the table had been replaced with a porcelain bowl. The woman beside Luo Xiaoyao poured the wine, opened her affectionate eyes, and laughed softly, "This wine is very strong, the young master drinks it slowly..."

Luo Xiaoyao only smelled the fragrance of the wine and knew the origin of the wine, but it was the Khitan horse milk wine that he had drunk. He raised his hand to take the wine bowl and whispered, "Thank you for the reminder of the girl." After that, he drank it all in one go.

This was the first time he spoke with the woman beside him. The woman waited for him to drink the wine, pinched his arm with her hands, and said softly: "I saw that everyone was drunk but I was awake. If the young master entered the prison guard as he wished, remember my considerate heart..."

Luo Xiaoyao was embarrassed and quickly looked around for a while, but seeing that most of the people were drunk, they hugged the woman beside her waist tightly and lowered her head to talk to her, but there were fifteen or sixteen people.

Although Zhu Yongming and Xiong Yingtian, who were sitting opposite, had not acted beyond the rules to the women around him, they were already closing their eyes and resting. They thought they were using martial arts to calm themselves and enlighten themselves. Zhan Wen and another arc guard behind him seemed to be unable to drink and were already lying on the table to fall asleep.

Luo Xiaoyao thought, fearing that he would not have any intention of drinking under the three kinds of fine wines to make people suspicious, so he closed his eyes and regulated his breathing and calmed his mind. The reason why he did not enter the alcohol was related to his cultivation. Although he lowered his realm and hidden his skills, the qi in his dantian body remained unchanged, and he could naturally lead the wine power into his dantian to transform.

As the music changed slowly, the woman beside her poured the wine to his mouth three times to drink, but knew that a bowl was a pound, Luo Xiaoyao thought that he would drink another bowl, and the test was over. He opened his eyes and saw Zhao Han on the side of Zhao Hanqin's desk looking up. His heart was stern. Zhao Han patted his hands lightly, and the music stopped. The Hu Ji jumped down from the drum, bowed to Zhao Han, and then left the hall.

Zhao Han stood up, glanced at everyone, and said slowly with a calm expression: "Zhan Wu, Zhu Yongming, Xiong Yingtian, you three follow me..."

Luo Xiaoyao and the other two knew that they were shortlisted for the third place. They looked at each other and followed Zhao Han, passing through the bamboo forest to a pavilion hall on the east side of the garden.

After Zhao Han called the three of them to sit down, he said slowly: "Congratulations to the three of them for passing the assessment... However, whether they can be admitted to the supervisory guards, the test of our museum is not the final conclusion."

The three of them had known that this would change, but they were afraid that Zhao Han would be suspicious, so they looked at each other, and their faces were full of shock and suspicion.

"The purpose of recruiting talents this time is to secretly protect a prominent figure in the court in the future, so the guard of the gate General Xu also needs to have an interview in person..."

Zhao Han paused for a moment, smiled and said, "When I went to see General Xu, I had to temporarily close your martial arts energy without verifying your origin... I wonder what you meant?"

"This... why didn't you explain this in advance?" Luo Xiaoyao pretended to be confused and asked.

"The court officials have their own carefulness. If you tell the person who takes the exam in advance to protect a prominent person in the court, as long as the person who is interested in secretly follows the assessment in the future, wouldn't this prominent person be pushed to the open?"

If people who are recruiting Guyuan realm and returning to the true realm to protect the so-called prominent figures, those who have been in the world for a long time will not believe it. Luo Xiaoyao and the other two are pretending that what Zhao Han said is reasonable. He hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and looked at each other with a look of wealth and danger. They all gritted their teeth and nodded in agreement.

...

At the time of Xu, Luo Xiaoyao and the other two, who were blindfolded, left the Qixian Pavilion in a carriage. After an appointment with a stick of incense, the carriage stopped.

Zhao Han, who was accompanying him, chuckled, "Three of you can get off the car."

Luo Xiaoyao knew that he had arrived at the destination, so he took off the blindfold strip and got off the carriage with Xiong and Zhu. But he saw that the carriage was parked in a courtyard well. He looked at the layout of the courtyard and saw that there was a row of wing rooms on the south side, and the other three sides were surrounded by walls. There was an arch in the middle of the courtyard wall in the north, and the flowers, plants and trees inside were hidden.

"Please follow me, three people..." Zhao Han stepped towards the arch of the north wall and said as he walked: "First go to the side hall to sit, and there are some rules that must be explained in detail to the three people."

Luo Xiaoyao also guessed that the so-called rule he mentioned should be to inform the truth about recruiting dual-cultural partners, and looked at each other with Xiong and Zhu to follow.

After passing the arch, I saw that the courtyard looked like a small garden. There were rockery among the green trees and red flowers on the east and west sides, and a pavilion on the north side. There were several men in costume standing on the corridor with high lanterns.

Looking through the lighting in the hall, I saw an old man in his sixties sitting on the guest seat on the left, but he was the worshiper Lu who had been following in Shaozhou. However, Zhizhuo Qinglian Ding was also in this mansion, and Luo Xiaoyao was secretly happy.

As soon as he stepped onto the hall, the worshiper Lu came up and bowed to Zhao Han, "Thank you for your hard work, Chief Zhao."

"Mr. Lu, come and introduce it..." With Zhao Han's introduction, Luo Xiaoyao and the other two had met Lu Gongfeng one by one.

"The three handsome talents are all martial arts practitioners. They must know the Taoist external alchemy martial arts, right?" Lu Gongfeng said with a smile.
To be continued...
