Seven days later

In the Zhongyong Hall in Luoyang, Lin Xu took out a piece of paper densely filled with people's names and handed it to Wang Xiudao beside him

"Now, in front of these people's names, go to the Wenxian Pavilion and squat, if there are people from above, come and tell me"

Wang Xiu nodded, took the list with both hands, and understood in his heart that these were talented people, and after a little look, there were only a few things he had heard of.

In fact, Lin Xu has always believed that in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were definitely more than these strategists and generals recorded in history, and the literati said that those who could afford to read would not have a bad family background, at least they should be able to eat and drink enough, have medical treatment for illness, and have some body, and there should not be many people who have been killed by diseases, famines, etc., and it is not a big problem for some of them to survive normally, at most, their talents are buried, so there is no way.

But military generals are different, in the Han Dynasty, a little thing can kill someone, and then they are wanted by the government and killed. And many generals have mixed with rangers, heroes or something, it is common for them to fight and kill each other, and they will be cold if they are not careful. Like Guan Yu, he fled his hometown because of a crime, if he was late or had some accident, the martial saint might be gone.

Then there is the Three Kingdoms in history, when the war is in chaos, it is not uncommon for some warriors to be chopped up by the army as bandits, all Lin Xu is ready to squat in Zhongyong Hall by himself, just to catch some fierce generals who have not appeared in history, and even he has built the ring, Zhu Zhen was thrown by him to act as the champion, after all, Zhu Zhen's strength is now at the first-class intermediate level, not weak at all, and those who can overturn him must be fierce generals.

"Hey, Ah Zhen, why are you back?"

"Lord, all the people who came to fight were straw bales, and I couldn't even stop ten moves, which was too boring."

Zhu Zhen looked contemptuous, and he didn't even have anyone who could fight.

Lin Xu stroked his forehead when he heard this, Zhu Zhen is a little floating, you must know that under Lin Xu's strong advocacy, the list of loyalty and courage posted out reads: No matter the background, only about martial arts, if you can be elected, you will be exempted from all criminal responsibility!

As far as the exemption is concerned, Lin Xu will definitely not be less fierce generals who will come over, but it has only been posted for seven days now, and it is normal that there are no fierce people coming, and it is estimated that the news is now circulating near Sanfu, and it has not yet been reported to the world.

"Then you ran back, who's in the ring?"

"Sun Ce, hehe"

Zhu Zhen touched his head, looking embarrassed, in fact, he didn't want to come down, after all, Lin Xu's orders he had always strictly implemented, but he couldn't stand the strong request of Lin Xu's chief registered disciple Sun Ce, plus all the people who came were gangsters, he was really bored, and he couldn't kill it, it was very tiring, which made Sun Ce take his position.

"Lord Princess, there is one who says that he is very capable and wants to see you~"

Just as Lin Xu was about to have a drink with Zhu Zhen, Qinglian suddenly ran in.

"Who?"

"Said it was called Pu Yuan"

"Oh~, it's really a talent, invite him in, I'll let you learn the words and don't listen, now it's okay, I don't know you on the list"

Lin Xu poked a finger at the other party's forehead fiercely, and he didn't have a good airway

"Hurry up, now let me into the inner room to read!"

After hearing this, Qinglian puffed out her cheeks, stomped her feet, and walked into the inner room with big eyes, and after getting along with Lin Xu for a few days, she found that this lord was actually very talkative, gentle and gentle, not as terrible as she imagined, the only uncomfortable thing was to force her to study every day. So the courage is getting bigger and bigger, and this time she is even more stubborn to come to Luoyang and stay in the mountains every day, which is too difficult for her.

"Boy Pu Yuan, I've seen Lord Qixian"

Pu Yuan respectfully saluted Lin Xu, he didn't expect it to be so easy to ask to see the immortal, he almost didn't wait long to receive the introduction, although he thought that he had the skill of forging a knife, but he had never shown any edge due to the problem of materials, this time he had the courage to come over to try his luck, after all, he heard that this immortal is known as a great Han talent, nine times out of ten, how can he Pu Yuan be regarded as a talent.

"Mr. Pu, please get up, I can see Mr., Ben Qixian is also very happy."

Lin Xu was very happy, it seems that most of the day's waiting has not been in vain, no, the forging knife boss of the Three Kingdoms period has appeared, although he looks a little young now, the level of forging knives is definitely not as powerful as in the future, but it doesn't matter, he knows some methods of forging steel, and it shouldn't be a big problem for Pu Yuan to slowly experiment and perfect.

Pu Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, it seems that the rumors are not wrong, this Immortal Lord really knows his ability, and it seems that his ability can finally show his strengths!

"But"

Lin Xu touched his chin and said in a deep voice

"In your case, it's a bit difficult to do."

Pu Yuan was anxious when he heard this, he just wanted to find someone who was strong and could afford him to support him in forging a knife, and with the ability of the immortals, this was absolutely no problem

"Lord Qixian, although a certain family is not talented, you still know a thing or two about the art of forging a knife~"

"I know that"

Lin Xu waved his hand and looked Pu Yuandao up and down

"I know very well your Pu Yuan's ability, that is, now recruit talented warriors, how about you?"

Hearing Lin Xu's inquiry, Pu Yuan's face turned red, and he lowered his head and said softly

"Indeed, it is indeed unmentionable"

"What about martial arts?"

"Only, a little, brute force"

"Where's the magic weapon? Can it be forged? ”

"No, never"

Pu Yuan's face became redder and redder the more he spoke, his head lowered the more he spoke, and he even had the urge to turn around and hide his face and run away, but thinking that this might be his best chance, he couldn't help it.

"That's it."

Lin Xu spread his hands

"If you can't write it, you can't do it, although you have a good ability, but I can't recommend this to Your Majesty, let alone let you go to the palace to participate in the palace test, this is not favoritism."

Pu Yuan sighed heavily when he heard this, and thought that there was something big, it turned out to be a problem with the palace exam, these are all trivial things, to be honest, he Pu Pu Yuan never thought that he could pass these written exams, and the palace exam would ascend to the sky in one step, what he wanted was a stable forging environment.

"Lord Qixian has misunderstood, a certain family does not dare to expect to meet such an honor as Shengyan, and only asks for a stable place for me to forge my blade, and I am satisfied."

"Oh, that's it."

Lin Xu was secretly happy in his heart after hearing this, and the data he wanted was what he said

"In this way, it is a trivial matter, if Mr. is willing, he can settle down in my free life, and I dare not guarantee otherwise, the materials for forging blades are absolutely open to supply, and even Ben Qixian can provide Mr. with some forging steel skills, but the right is incomplete, and Mr. needs to perfect and explore it himself."

Pu Yuan was ecstatic after hearing this, he was not wrong, he was really not wrong, with the funding and appreciation of the immortals, he no longer had to look at the faces of those vulgar people! When he forges his sword, he will blind the eyes of those philistine! And there is also a chance to get the steel forging technique from the immortal master, although it is incomplete, but the high-end goods that flow out of the hands of the immortal family, how can you also give yourself some inspiration.

"Some, thank you, Lord Qixian"

Pu Yuan bowed very respectfully.

"You're welcome, come on, let's sit down and have a drink first."

After taking down Pu Yuan, Lin Xu was also very happy, even if he pulled the other party's wrist to the table and prepared a few drinks, this is his chief forger, and the friendship must be well developed.

Just as Lin Xu was drinking refreshmently, Sun Ce suddenly walked in with a blue nose and swollen face and a grudge on his face.

"Ahem, cough, cough~"

Seeing that Sun Ce's handsome face had become a pig's head again, Lin Xu, who suddenly remembered the scene when Xu Rong beat this product, almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of wine.

"Teacher!"

Sun Ce was instantly angry, how could there be such a thing, his disciple was beaten like this, and the teacher was still laughing!

"Ce'er, cough cough, it's for the teacher to lose his temper, what, Ah Zhen! Go and drag the guy who beat Sun Ce over. ”

Although Sun Ce is a little younger, his strength is still good, at least at the level of third-rate upward and second-rate downward level, he can beat his face so evenly without hurting his muscles and bones, he is definitely not an ordinary person, Lin Xu estimates that he must be a second-rate person who is close to first-class.

"Teacher, when will you be able to teach me the martial arts of the Immortal Family!"

Sun Ce was very angry, he was willing to worship Lin Xu as a teacher, one was the request of his parents, and the other was for the martial arts of the immortal family, but since he went to live freely, Lin Xu did not teach him anything except for giving him the book of soldiers and drinking nourishing medicinal food every day, although the medicinal diet was really useful, making his body a lot stronger, but he wanted to learn martial arts.

"Gotta got, I'll teach you when I go back this time, who said that who beat you like this?"

"Humph! A guy named Zhang He, sooner or later I'm going to call back! ”

"Yo, Zhang He, that's a character, boy, you didn't suffer this beating."

Lin Xu was shocked, there was a big fish hooked so soon, it seems that Liu Honggan has a high reputation after overturning the Northern Huns

"This Zhang He uses his troops to change skillfully, is good at arranging camps, is good at estimating the situation, and makes good use of the terrain, Sun Ce, you can think about him for advice in the future, go, take a look"

Sun Ce's eyes lit up when he heard this, it doesn't matter if he is beaten, anyway, he is not very old, he will not lose it if he is beaten, he can learn something, anyway, he is confident that he will be able to fight back sooner or later.

While talking, Lin Xu and the three of them walked out of the lobby quickly and came to the ring outside the door, only to see Zhu Zhen and Zhang He fighting back and forth, and it was difficult to solve.

"How many rounds?"

Lin Xu asked the little officer with a knife and pen on the side

"Lord Immortal, it's been fifty rounds"

Sun Ce, who was on the side, raised his head and looked at the stage and said softly

"It seems that even if you play hundreds of rounds, you won't be able to tell the winner."

"Not bad"

Lin Xu nodded and shouted at the stage

"Ah Zhen, stop!"

When Zhu Zhen heard this, he split Zhang He with an axe, put away his weapon and arched his hand towards the other party, jumped off the ring and said honestly

"Lord, this man is good, I can't easily defeat him"

"It's okay, this guy is a talent, give it to me"

"I've seen the Immortal"

Under the guidance of a small official, Zhang He put away his blade and respectfully saluted Lin Xu

"Zhang He! Yes, I know you, congratulations, you have passed the introductory test and can enter the Zhongyong Hall to wait for the written exam. ”

Lin Xu had a bright smile on his face, like this, he just wants to run for a future under Liu Hong, the virtuous emperor, he can't be in a hurry, he can build a good relationship first, win over well, and have the opportunity to take him under his command in the future.

"Lord Xie Qixian"

For Lin Xu's kindness, Zhang He did not show any special emotions, he is a capable person, naturally he wants to rely on his own ability to win a bright future, rather than thinking about relying on flattery to get on the throne.
