Wu Dalang didn't speak for a while, and the sword shadow was also silent, like a shadow.

If it was night, no one would be able to spot him in the study where he couldn't see his fingers, and he would melt into the night and become a part of the darkness.

Wu Dalang pondered for a moment before looking at Jian Ying again, and did not speak immediately, his fingers lightly tapped the handle of the chair.

After another moment, Wu Dalang finally spoke slowly: "You are indeed a good lurker, and I do need talents like you, but I think you have to give me a reason to need you." Since Xiaojian asked you to come to me, I think he also values your ability, but ability doesn't mean everything, and I'm willing to reuse Xiaojian just because he's loyal enough. ”

Under the observation of this period of time, Wu Dalang can also see the strength of the sword shadow, and for Huang Xiaojian to introduce the sword shadow, Wu Dalang can probably guess Xiao Jian's thoughts.

In Xiao Jian's opinion, such a powerful person Wu Dalang must be needed, and he can't control it himself, so he can only send the sword shadow over for Wu Dalang to decide.

Wu Dalang is no better than Huang Xiaojian, of course, Wu Dalang thinks more and more complicated, and the requirements for people are also more demanding.

Jian Ying was silent after listening to Wu Dalang's words, as if he was asleep.

Wu Dalang did not urge, and waited quietly.

It's like a game, and it's not just the mind that is being tested.

After another moment, Sword Shadow slowly spoke, "I know you don't trust me now, and I don't know how to make you trust. Maybe you can poison me, or you can control me with drugs, as long as you don't forget to give me the antidote on time. ”

Wu Dalang's heart jumped slightly, he was still startled by Jian Ying's words, this guy was playing with him.

However, Wu Dalang's emotions did not show his face at all, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

Wu Dalang pondered for a moment and asked, "So, how did you get Xiaojian's trust." ”

This is obviously a very easy question to answer, and Jian Ying did not hesitate this time, and immediately said, "No, I don't have much trust from him. ”

At this time, Wu Dalang was interested, so he said slowly: "Well, you tell me the ins and outs of the whole thing." ”

Sword Shadow said unhurriedly, "Here's the thing. A few days ago, I went to assassinate Zhu Mian, unfortunately I was discovered, and I was seriously injured in the fight with them. ”

"Although I escaped later, I was already dying, and then I fell unconscious, and when I woke up, I found that it was Xiaojian who saved me."

"I will repay my kindness, since it was the little sword who saved me, I owe him a life, and I think about how to repay him. Of course, in return, you must first understand the other person, and you must know what the other person needs. ”

"So I observed Xiao Jian, and found out that Xiao Jian was not an ordinary person, but Xiao Jian's ability was also extremely strong, and he also knew that I was secretly observing him."

"I fought with Xiao Jian for a while, and Xiao Jian may have seen that I was not a villain, or maybe he was impressed by my ability, so he told me about the boss."

"I have heard of the boss's deeds, he is a loyal minister who asks for the people's life, kills traitors and fights corrupt officials, after seeing the little sword, I know that the boss's means are also there, such a loyal minister is worthy of my service."

"So, I told Xiaojian about it, but Xiaojian didn't agree, he said that he broke the recruitment rules like this, so he asked me to come to the boss myself."

"That's how the whole thing happened."

Wu Dalang was silent for a while and said, "This is not the main reason why you serve me, you still haven't said anything." ”

Jian Ying's breathing was slightly chaotic, and then he sighed: "The boss is really as Xiao Jian said, his wit is unparalleled, indeed, there is another important reason why I am willing to work for the boss, because I believe that the boss can avenge me." ”

Wu Dalang closed his eyes, rubbed his head and said, "Do you think I will accept you?" ”

Sword Shadow said with some frustration, "No." ”

Wu Dalang slowly opened his eyes again, and his eyes seemed to be much brighter than just now: "Oh, why are you so sure? Tell us what you think. ”

"If I hadn't said that I was working for the boss for revenge, the boss would have taken me. But this matter was discovered by the boss, in the eyes of the boss, I just concealed something, no master wants a subordinate who will hide his heart, and subordinates with their own thoughts are often disobedient. ”

Sword Shadow's tone was a little lost and a little remorseful, he felt that he had said the wrong thing just now, and he should have told everything from the beginning, including his thoughts.

Wu Dalang nodded noncommittally: "But you are hiding it after all, since you can think of this, why did you choose to hide it just now?" ”

"I think the boss should not like to run around for the affairs of his subordinates, and if I say that I am out of revenge, then in the eyes of the boss it may be a transaction, and the boss may not like the transaction and prefer an obedient subordinate. So I chose not to say it, and I also think that the boss should not be aware. It's just a fluke. ”

At this time, Jian Ying's tone was full of helplessness, and he didn't expect that his boss would see through all his thoughts.

"Well, you're right. So why are you still here? ”

"Because Xiaojian asked me to bring some information that the boss asked him to check by the way. I want to tell you this information first, and I can count it as a complete mission. ”

"Well, tell me about the results of the investigation."

Xiao Jian said that there was news from the palace, and it was almost time to arrange the chief examiner candidate for this imperial examination in the past two days. There is also the kidnapping that the boss asked for to send the letter has also been done, and he will do what the boss asks. ”

Speaking of business, Jian Ying's body seemed to stand up straighter again, and his tone became more rigorous, and there seemed to be a trace of awe for Wu Dalang in this rigor.

Wu Dalang nodded: "Well, I know." I have something here for you to tell Xiao Jian and ask him to find a time to arrange it. Tell Xiaojian to find an opportunity to approach Lin Chong, so that he can overhear that Gao Yanei wanted to tease his wife, but Gao Yanei was injured by Wu Dalang, and the reason why Wu Dalang injured Gao Yanei in anger seemed to be because he couldn't get used to what Gao Yanei did, and at the same time, he also heard that Wu Dalang admired Lin Chong as a person. ”

"Understood." Jian Ying said two words respectfully, then his breath became a little short, and he asked in disbelief, "I... Boss, did you promise to accept me? ”

Jian Ying knew that if Wu Dalang didn't accept him, then he should let him go after listening to Huang Xiaojian's information, and all this would have nothing to do with it, but Wu Dalang let him pass the word, which made Jian Ying unbelievable.

Jian Ying's heart was beating a little fast, and he needed an answer from Wu Dalang.
