Two days later, Chen Fan and his entourage appeared in Fengshan City, which was more than 200 miles away from Nongxia Town.

Fengshan City is a relatively large city in Yun'an Province, with a population of about 300,000.

In the past two days, in order to prevent the people of the Scorching Sun Sect from tracking him and the others, Chen Fan and the others have not been in contact with other people, and they are all sleeping in the wild.

Everyone is dusty and a little tired.

Now, the most important thing everyone wants to do is to find a better inn, take a cold shower, and then find a restaurant to eat and drink.

Walking on the street, everyone is looking left and right, looking for a suitable inn, but unfortunately it looks not suitable, either the place is too small, or too chaotic, too poor, looking for a long time can not find the right one.

As they walked, everyone suddenly felt a light in front of them, and a small square appeared in front of everyone.

The square is a rectangular platform about 100 zhang long and 80 zhang wide, and the ground is paved with flat square bluestone, which is usually for the residents of the city to have fun here, and some large-scale activities will be held here during festivals, and many cities will have this kind of facility.

At this time, there are many people playing there with children, and there are some vendors selling snacks, also shouting loudly, every time a business is made, there are happy smiles on their faces, and among them, the most eye-catching is the two wooden tables placed in the middle of the square.

A long strip of cloth was erected next to the two wooden tables, on which were also written the words "Recruit Family Samurai", and behind each table were several people in charge of recruitment.

Behind the wooden table on the left, several people in charge of recruiting were all wearing a light blue power suit, and the word "Wang" was embroidered on the chest on the left.

Two of them are responsible for the record, and the other three are responsible for explaining to the others about the conditions of recruitment, treatment, etc. There were already two long lines in front of the wooden table.

There are only a dozen people scattered in front of the wooden table on the right, and there are five people in charge of recruitment, the same two people are recorded, and three people are responsible for commentary, and they are also wearing a white power suit, and there is a big "Zhao" word embroidered on the left chest.

A familiar figure suddenly appeared in Chen Fan's eyes at this moment.

I saw the two people on the right who were in charge of recording. One of them was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, his skin was a little dark, his figure was also tall, and he looked loyal and honest, but it was Zhao Hai who Chen Fan saved his life in the mountain range.

How did he end up here? Chen Fan suddenly remembered that before parting, Zhao Hai had said that he was going to a place to find his master, and that Chen Fan must go to find him in the future, and he also told him the address.

For Zhao Hai. Chen Fan feels good, this kind of person is worth associating, Chen Fan originally planned to go to see him, but because he met Chen Hong's grandfather in Nongxia Town, and then a series of things happened, he forgot about it.

Could it be that this is where his master is? I don't know who his master is? Looking at the clothes he is wearing now, he should belong to a family, could it be that his master is a person from a certain family. And he became a member of that family?

Chen Fan grabbed a cloth-clothed young man next to him and asked, "What are the people queuing up over there for?"

The cloth-clothed young man was startled and turned his head to look. But he found that the person who grabbed him was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old handsome young man, and he couldn't help but say coldly: "Why should I tell you? Let it go." ”

Chen Fan let go of the cloth-clothed youth, his palms spread out in front of the cloth-clothed youth, and more than a dozen copper coins were lying quietly on the palms.

"Now let's talk. ”

"Absolutely. The face of the cloth-clothed young man was immediately full of smiles, and he hurriedly picked up the dozen copper coins on Chen Fan's palm, as if he was afraid that Chen Fan would regret it if he was late.

"This is a samurai recruitment meeting every three years. The people on the left wearing light blue suits are the people of the Wang family, and those on the right wearing white suits are the people of the Zhao family, both of which are one of the top ten families of the Eastern Empire, and the family locations are in the capital of our Eastern Empire, the Famous Jade City, but they are mortal enemies. "The young man in cloth got the money. Immediately introduced with a smile on his face.

"Every three years, they send people here to recruit the family's samurai, and they are all very well paid. So those of us who have a little ability here will go to them to try it, and if they take a fancy to it, then they will have a chance to get ahead in the future. As he spoke, the cloth-clothed young man looked at the people in line with envy.

"Then why are there so many people on one side and so few on the other?"

"It's not because of the Zhao family's low salary," the cloth-clothed young man looked disdainful: "The conditions offered by the Wang family are almost half higher than those offered by the Zhao family, you say, who else will go to the Zhao family?"

Chen Fan thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Do you know what their recruitment conditions are?"

"Of course I know, I want to go in in my dreams, so I collected all their information, not only their recruitment conditions, recruitment targets, I know very well, even the preferences and personalities of those recruiters, I also inquire clearly, then, you see, that fat Wang family person, last night went to the most famous Qinglou in our Fengshan City-Yingyu Building, looking for our red ...... Red Card ......"

Seeing that Chen Fan's eyes had already shot a cold gaze, and the temperature around him seemed to be slowly decreasing, the young man in cloth couldn't say any more, and quickly turned back to the topic.

"Hehe, those are not important just now, so I won't say more, the recruitment conditions issued by the two families are the same, those under the age of eighteen, the martial arts must be above the fourth level of the day after tomorrow, those over the age of eighteen, those under the age of twenty-eight must be above the sixth level of the day after tomorrow, and those over the age of twenty-eight must be above the ninth level of the day after tomorrow. ”

"Distinguish by age, aren't you afraid of false reports?" There is no ID card to check here, how can we know what the real age is? Chen Fan was a little puzzled.

"Hehe, you don't know this, right? Of course I can't see it now, but when they meet the requirements and are recruited, there will be a special pharmacist to check their real age, and if they find false reports, they will be severely punished." So no one dares to lie about their age. The young man in cloth was a little proud, as if he was very knowledgeable, and his eyebrows fluttered.

"It's true, Brother Chen, the pharmacist can judge a person's true age by looking at the growth of bones, muscles, meridians, etc., and it is very difficult to hide it. Chen Hong interjected next to him.

"Hmm. I see. ”

Although the words in the Buyi youth's words are doubtful, Chen Hong's words are very credible, she has never lied to Chen Fan, so Chen Fan nodded and said to the Buyi youth: "Is the relationship between the two of them good? Why recruit at the same time?"

"Okay what?" The young man in cloth looked like he knew something: "It's good that they don't fight, these two families have been rivals for a long time, and many people know this, and the two of them chose to recruit at the same time, which is meant to be competitive." Seeing who recruits the most is also a way to show off your strength. However, for so many years, in Fengshan City, the Zhao family has never won against the Wang family, and every time it is a big loss, it is very faceless. ”

"Do you know why they recruit samurai every three years?"

"I heard that it is for the Eastern Empire Martial Arts Tournament, which is held every four years. The young man in cloth didn't seem to know much about this matter, so his tone was not very sure.

"Martial Arts Conference?" Chen Fan didn't understand again, he really knew very little about these common senses. Who told him that he used to live in a small town, and he never came out to see the outside world.

"No, it won't. You don't even know about the Martial Arts Conference?" The cloth-clothed young man just wanted to laugh at him, but when he saw Chen Fan's cold eyes, he hurriedly swallowed his words back, "Then I'll tell you in detail." ”

"This martial arts conference is a great event in our Eastern Empire, and it is held every four years. The conference is divided into three groups: youth group, youth group and adult group, and these three groups are contested separately. Under the age of eighteen. Those over 18 years old are divided into the youth group, those over 18 years old, under 28 years old, including those aged 28 are in the youth group, and those who are in the adult group can participate in the youth group, even those who have already participated in the youth group or the youth group can register for this group at the same time. ”

"Top 10 in each category. You can all get the rewards of the royal family of the Eastern Empire, and then escort them to the Central Continent Martial Arts Conference, which is also held every four years, to represent our Eastern Empire. ”

"If you win the championship of three categories at the Zhongzhou Martial Arts Conference, you can be ranked in the "Martial Arts Celebrity List", and you will be famous for a hundred years, as for those who perform well in the competition, they may also be favored by those super factions and recruited to become a guest or elder. At that time, it was really to climb the high branches and become famous and profitable. Speaking of this, the young man in cloth had an outward look, almost drooling from his mouth.

Hearing this, Chen Fan had basically understood, so he waved his hand and signaled that the young man in cloth could go.

The cloth-clothed young man came back to his senses, bowed down with a smile on his face and said, "If this young master has anything to ask in the future, remember to look for me, my name is Wang Er, and my nickname is Bao to inquire, I will be here every day." ”

Just ask a few words, and these things are common sense, many people know about it, you can get a dozen copper coins, where to find such a good thing.

Chen Fan ignored him and led everyone towards Zhao Hai.

The people on Zhao Hai's side are still there to ask, and there are not many who really sign up, these may be because they saw that there were too many people queuing up over there, so they came here to see the situation first.

"Giggle......

The sound of tapping on the table woke up Zhao Hai, who was looking down at the record book in a daze.

Zhao Hai hurriedly raised his head, only to see a handsome young man in a gray robe standing in front of the table, looking only sixteen or seventeen years old, his hand still resting on the table, it seemed that he had knocked on the table just now.

Beside him, there was a girl with a delicate face, and on the left behind him stood a big man who was nearly six feet tall, but he was not very old, so I really didn't know how he could be born so tall. The big man carried an iron shield on his back and a long sword on his waist, and behind him stood a thin young man with a long sword on his waist. Behind them, there were seven girls with black veils and six burly men.

"Uh, what's the matter?" Zhao Hai was startled by the people who appeared in front of him, it didn't seem like these people had come to sign up.

"I want to sign up. But Chen Fan's answer was unexpected.

"Sign up?" Zhao Hai still wanted to confirm again, he was afraid that he had heard it wrong.

"Yes!" Chen Fan gave him an affirmative answer again.

"Uh, then may I ask if you are signing up on behalf of you personally or on behalf of your team?" As he spoke, Zhao Hai looked at the group of strange people behind Chen Fan.

"Hmm. Is there any difference then?" Chen Fan originally just wanted a few of his own people to sign up for this warrior recruitment, enter the Zhao family, and then use this identity to go to the capital. In this way, the Liesun faction couldn't find him, but they didn't expect that there was a difference between an individual and a team when they signed up.

"That's right, if you're signing up as an individual. Then after entering our family, we will assign your position according to your personal martial arts level, if you sign up as a team, it will be arranged according to the level of your team, this team is divided into two kinds of teams and sects, if it is a team, then you have to follow us back to the capital, and then assign tasks according to the situation, if it is a sect. It depends on the actual situation of your sect. So, I would like to ask you to choose. A person in charge of commenting next to him had already noticed that Chen Fan was coming with a large group of people, and now when he saw Chen Fan asking, he hurriedly answered from the side.

It was a fairly handsome young man of twenty-five or six years old, and his tone was very polite, and his face was full of smiles.

Of course, you have to be polite, and it was not easy to wait for such a group of people. If they all join, it will be worth the total results of the previous days.

"Oh. I'm joining on behalf of my team. Chen Fan thought for a moment and said an answer that surprised the handsome young man.

When the handsome young man was about to speak, Chen Fan interrupted him and continued: "However, I have three conditions, if I can meet these three conditions. I'll join, otherwise, I'll try it over there. As he spoke, he pointed to the Wang family.

"Please, what are the conditions?" How could the handsome young man let Chen Fan go so easily, and hurriedly asked Chen Fan to state the conditions.

"First. The members of my team will not be separated, they must be together when eating, living, and doing things, and all orders can only be issued to me first, and then I will issue instructions, and I cannot assign other people in my team to do things without authorization. ”

Chen Fan would never let Chen Hong and them be separated from him, otherwise he would rather not join, anyway, the idea of joining the Zhao family was also an idea that he suddenly thought of when he saw Zhao Hai, it didn't matter if he did it or not, so he put forward this point, and seeing that the handsome young man was so enthusiastic, there should be a play.

The handsome young man thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with this condition, after the people from the other teams joined, they were all together, and the order was only sent to the captain, and the captain assigned it himself, so he hurriedly nodded and agreed.

"Second, I only obey his commands, and if I want to give me orders, I have to convey them through him, that is, I will only listen to him in the future. ”

Seeing that the handsome young man agreed, Chen Fan pointed at Zhao Hai and said the second condition.

"Uh!" As soon as this condition was said, everyone was stunned, including Zhao Hai himself, who couldn't figure out what was going on.

"May I ask you why you put forward such a condition?"

For those who sign up on behalf of the team or sect, the handsome young man is always more polite, after all, it is a group of people, and there is still a lot of strength gathered, if it is a single person, if it is not for the martial arts are very powerful, the handsome young man would have kicked him away a long time ago.

"I think he's more pleasing to the eye. ”

Chen Fan's words almost didn't make the handsome young man angry, this big black man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, no matter how you look at it, is not as good-looking as himself, how could he be taken in by him.

Although this condition is a bit out of order, it is just to appoint a special messenger, Zhao Hai is a member of his own family, it is not a big deal, but if he does not agree, this young man may join the Wang family, which is absolutely not allowed, so the handsome young man nodded and agreed: "Okay, I promise you." ”

"Last condition, I have the right to refuse to carry out some orders that I feel are clearly sent to death. ”

If Chen Fan's second condition is a bit of a problem, this last condition is really too much.

What does it mean to "I feel"? What does it mean to "I have the right to refuse enforcement"? The most problematic thing is the last sentence, "I have the right to refuse enforcement." Isn't it because we ask you to come back to do something? If you can refuse to carry out enforcement, then what are we asking you to come back for? Do you want to come back and be an uncle?

The handsome young man's face changed, the smile had disappeared from his face, and his face was cold.

Just as he was about to speak, a voice came from the side.

"This little brother. Come to us, we have a high salary, good food and housing, much better than theirs, and the work is easy, and the wages are paid on time. We are not in arrears, our family is even stronger, there are many shops, all over the country, and there are many more opportunities to get ahead than them, so come to us. ”

Chen Fan was a little dizzy, how could this be more and more like what those recruiters said in his previous life, could it be that he also crossed over? Following the voice, he saw that one of the long-haired young men who was standing next to the table on the left had already come to the side. He was smiling at himself.

The handsome young man who originally wanted to scold Chen Fan was shocked when he heard the voice, and immediately turned his head to look over, and when he saw the long-haired young man, he couldn't help but shout loudly: "Wang Wen, you want to come over to our side to rob people again, don't you go too far?"

Wang Wen glanced at the handsome young man and said with disdain: "Che, is there anything wrong with this? I didn't force them, they only joined our family of their own volition. If you want to blame, blame your family for not being strong enough, the treatment you give is not good, and everyone is unwilling to join you. ”

"You-" The handsome young man was half angry at Wang Wen, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it, because this was indeed the main reason why no one came to them to sign up. This is a fact that everyone knows, and there is no reason to quibble.

"What are you, too lazy to talk to you. Wang Wen no longer paid attention to the handsome young man and walked in front of Chen Fan: "This little brother, I am Wang Wen of the Wang family." Now I sincerely invite you to come to our family, and if there are any conditions, we will go over there and discuss it slowly, okay?"

"Wang Wen, he is from our family, don't want to rob it anymore. The handsome young man began to shout again.

"When did he become a member of your family? Why didn't I see it, you didn't talk about it, and he didn't officially join your family. So now you have no right to interfere with this little brother's whereabouts, right?" Wang Wen continued to strike at the handsome young man.

"You—" The handsome young man was speechless again.

Suddenly, he smiled, turned to Chen Fan and said, "I have agreed to your three conditions, and you are welcome to join our family." ”

Chen Fan was stunned, he couldn't imagine that he could even agree to the third condition, this condition he just said to test the bottom line of the handsome young man, and he didn't think that they would agree to this condition.

Unexpectedly, under Wang Wen's entanglement, the handsome young man actually agreed.

Wang Wen was also stunned, he heard the three conditions proposed by Chen Fan on the side, he didn't expect that the handsome young man would actually agree to this condition, he just said this, just to anger the handsome young man, not that he would agree to this condition.

Stunned, he laughed again.

"Haha, Zhao Yang, I really admire you a little now, a little bold. As he spoke, the words changed again: "However, you still need this little brother's consent." After speaking, he looked at Chen Fan.

The handsome young man Zhao Yang also looked at Chen Fan, waiting for his reply.

"Okay! I agreed to join. ”

An affirmative answer made Zhao Yang feel more face, and he couldn't help but smile smugly at Wang Wen, but in exchange for a roll of Wang Wen's eyes.

In the past, the two of them were at a disadvantage, but this time they finally became majestic in front of Wang Wen, Zhao Yang was very proud in his heart, but suddenly, he remembered the three conditions he promised Chen Fan, and he didn't know how to explain to the family after he went back, thinking of this, his face couldn't help but be gloomy.

Seeing his appearance, Wang Wen couldn't help but secretly despise, this idiot, can you agree to this kind of condition arbitrarily? It depends on how you explain it in the future, but if his family falls out with this handsome young man in front of him, it will not be a bad thing, in this way, I still have a chance.

Hehe, let's take care of him now, and after he falls out with the Zhao family, he can smoothly accept him over.

Seeing the group of people behind Chen Fan, Wang Wen was a little red-eyed, those six big men with a big shape, at a glance, he knew that they were not easy to mess with, and even he couldn't see through their strength.

You must know that your martial arts have reached the eighth level of the day after tomorrow, since you can't see through those big men, then their strength should be at least the eighth level of the day after tomorrow, and more importantly, look at their age is not very old, and the future development potential is very great.

Thinking of this, Wang Wen smiled and said to Chen Fan: "This little brother, our Wang family welcomes your arrival at any time, if you are not happy with someone, welcome to come to me, I am happy to wait." ”

This kind of poaching thing, the two major families have done a lot, everyone is not the same thing, those clans and the warriors recruited back, in fact, are equivalent to mercenaries, whoever pays the highest price, will go there.

The two major families only regarded these clans and samurai as the peripheral forces of the clan, and only after strict review would those loyal clans and personnel be incorporated into the family's internal strength.

Regarding Wang Wen's kindness, Chen Fan also nodded and responded, he has no reason to refuse, after all, people are expressing kindness to you, and you can also use it as a kind of pressure on Zhao Yang, showing that you are not unwanted, if you treat me badly, then I can also leave at any time and go to another family.

Wang Wen's words, Zhao Yang thought he couldn't hear them, he only remembered now, he forgot to ask Chen Fan and the others about the strength just now, if he spent so much effort to recruit the people this time The strength of the people he recruited was too poor, it would be a great loss. But don't be afraid, now it's just a record, and they have to go through an assessment before they can be considered official family members, if their strength is too poor, then they can't pass that assessment.

"Let's register now, may I ask your name?" Zhao Yang didn't originally make records, but this time for Chen Fan, he also went into battle in person.

"Chen Fan. ”

"Age?"

"Seventeen. ”

"Martial arts realm?"

"The day after tomorrow is level nine. ”

Chen Fan knows that no matter where he is, strength is the most important means of speaking, without strength, others will not look down on you at all, especially in this world where force is supreme, so he reported this is not a low level.

"What?" Zhao Yang's hand shook suddenly, and the pen in his hand almost fell: "You say it again." ”

"The day after tomorrow is level nine. ”

Chen Fan really couldn't figure it out, what was strange about what he said, was it worth it? Could it be that his report was still low, and he couldn't look down on it, so should he report it higher?

Just as Chen Fan was frowning and thinking, Zhao Yang had already laughed.

"Good, good, good, really good, I did it so right this time, haha!"

He really had to be happy, because generally speaking, based on the calculation of starting cultivation since childhood, when ordinary people cultivated to the ninth level of the day after tomorrow, they were already about twenty-eight years old, and those who were able to cultivate to the ninth level of the day after tomorrow before the age of eighteen were all geniuses, and it was no wonder that he was happy to be able to recruit a genius in this place.

"Brother Chen, ha, I'll call you like this in the future, don't you mind?" Zhao Yang didn't wait for Chen Fan's reply, so he continued: "Brother Chen, I want to ask you what you just said that you are seventeen years old this year and have reached the ninth level of the day after tomorrow, is this true? Don't mind, I just need to confirm it again, I'm afraid I heard it wrong." ”

"Really!" Although he didn't know why, Chen Fan still gave Zhao Yang a positive answer again, but he secretly said in his heart: False, my real age is sixteen, and the realm of martial arts is the Great Perfection of the Day After Tomorrow, and it has been reached both inside and outside. (To be continued......)
