The last time Xie Chen and Qingran came here, his own strength was only the strength of Dacheng in the skin training period, and it didn't attract much attention, so naturally no one would come and interrogate him.

However, today is different from the past, Xie Chen now has the strength to quench his bones, not to mention that Xie Chen's strength is far from ordinary.

"Hehe, since you are here for money, I don't know if Your Excellency is interested in the position of the captain of our Fengming City Guard? I believe that Your Excellency's strength is naturally competent. The man thought for a moment, then spoke.

"Boss, why are you doing this?" a man next to him couldn't help but step forward after hearing this.

"This brother is very powerful, I believe that if he leads you, your future will definitely be more than this, and you will not be bullied by the other squads. The man sighed.

"Escorts, why should I do that, and you see I'm so young that I can't control people. Big brother, just let me in. Xie Chenke never thought that he would be doing this kind of work that restricted his freedom, and he still had to take Qingran to find someone.

"Think about it, and being the captain of the guard has a monthly allowance of fifty taels of silver. The man's seductive voice came into Xie Chen's ears.

"I appreciate this big brother's kindness, but I really won't stay here for long. Xie Chen said in embarrassment, he was waiting for the other party to raise the price, if he gave a hundred taels a month, Xie Chen would have agreed a long time ago, and he had a rich man and a little brother, so the fool did not agree.

However, the other party naturally didn't know that Xie Chen had such a shameless idea, and really thought that Xie Chen would not stay here for long.

"Well, since Your Excellency said so, so be it. If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time. Xie Chen didn't expect that the other party was really no longer keeping, which made him regret it a little, why was he so greedy.

"Oh, okay, my name is Xie Chen"

"Luotian"

After saying goodbye to Luo Tian, Xie Chen entered the city gate.

Fengmingcheng is the same as the last time he came, and it is still so lively. Xie Chen searched for a long time, but he didn't find a job that suited him.

"Hey, how do you explain to Qingran's fierce woman this time. I've been running out for so long, and if I didn't get a penny when I went back, I would have agreed if I knew it, hey. Xie Chen thought helplessly as he walked, regretting it in his heart.

Along the way, he found countless shops, but none of them had a job suitable for him, which made him wonder if he was really useless.

There was the sound of striking iron ahead.

"Knock" "Knock" "Knock"

"Haha, it seems that God is still on my side. ”

Xie Chen was happy in his heart, he had almost the strength of a hundred horses, and Xie Chen thought that it was not difficult for him to strike iron.

Running forward, an old man* outside the shop* put on his upper body, and hit the iron in his hand vigorously on the iron stove outside the shop, and each blow was very rhythmic.

"Old uncle, may I ask if your shop is recruiting apprentices?" Xie Chen stepped forward and said politely.

"Huh?" the old man put down the hammer in his hand and said slowly: "It's for apprentices, but you" The old man looked at Xie Chen, but didn't say anything.

Xie Chen's body was already in that thin shape, and his face was civil, which was really difficult to reminiscent of picking up a hammer of nearly 100 catties and beating it.

"I, what's wrong with me? If it doesn't work, can you let me try commenting. Xie Chen naturally knew what the other party was thinking from the other party's expression.

"Alright then, you can see if you can swing it, and if it doesn't work, I'll get you a lighter one. The old man carefully handed over the hammer in his hand.

Xie Chen took the hammer and shook it twice casually, looking extremely relaxed.

His move surprised the old man on the side, but he clearly knew that his hammer was at least more than 100 catties, and he didn't expect the young man in front of him to hold it so easily in his hand, and he looked at ease.

"Then I'll get started. Xie Chen swung the hammer in his hand vigorously and smashed it towards the iron essence on the iron furnace that had not yet been fully refined.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Xie Chen didn't know how many times he had beaten it, and he didn't stop until he saw the stunned expression of the iron-striking man.

"I'm scared, huh. Xie Chen thought secretly, and that was a smug feeling in his heart.

"Old uncle, look, am I considered to have passed?" Xie Chen asked proudly.

"This, you, how is it possible that you can actually break a piece of iron. The old man stammered a little, obviously thinking it was very incredible.

"Of course, who am I, wait, what do you mean by scrapping?" Xie Chen thought he had misheard.

"Young man, striking iron is not just by strength, you really surprised me with your strength, you can actually beat the iron essence, it seems that your strength is not ordinary. The old man walked to the place where Xie Chen was striking the iron, picked up the piece of iron essence that looked very shiny, and said thoughtfully.

"The most important thing to pay attention to in striking iron is to have the same strength, so that you can hit the perfect fine iron, did you just start using all the strength, and then the strength slowly decreased?"

"yes, did you have the strength to do it at the beginning. "Xie Chen is indeed like this, he went all out at the beginning, and in the last few hits, he didn't use much force.

"That's why it is said that striking iron is about balance, otherwise even if you are fighting hard. ”

"Then I'm trying to do it, I can't go wrong this time. Xie Chen didn't want to fly away like this with the job he had so hard to find, otherwise he would really have to go to Luotian.

"Iron essence is a valuable thing, we don't have a lot of money in the store, and after adding the piece you scrapped before, there are only a few pieces left, so you can use the ordinary mortal iron in the store to practice. The old man pointed to a pile of iron in the corner of the shop.

"Okay, I just don't know how to calculate my salary as an apprentice?" Xie Chen asked him the most important question of the trip.

"Beat a piece of iron, and give you a tael of silver. The old man thought about it, and finally said a figure that was not low.

"Got it, then you can rest on the sidelines, and I'll take care of the rest. Xie Chen thought about it, one or two is not bad, and if he plays more, he can get a lot.

Fengyang Town

When Qingran woke up, she found that Xie Chen didn't know where she had gone, and her heart was inexplicably angry.

"Dead Xie Chen, run around for me early in the morning, see how I clean you up when you come back. Qingran scolded angrily in her heart.

"Ahh

"Could it be that Qingran misses me?" Xie Chen beside the iron furnace sneezed, and couldn't help but think of Qingran, in this world, Xie Chen didn't think that anyone who would care so much about himself when he came out of Qingran.
