In the courtyard, overgrown with weeds, a deserted scene.

Continuing on, the three of them walked into the house in front of them, which was neat and clean, and it seemed that it was often cleaned.

There is no extra furniture in the house, and what catches your eye is a landscape painting on the wall facing the doorway.

Just as Zhang Hanlin was curious, thinking about how such a large place could hide so many secret guards.

Zhang Zhenzhong walked to the wall of the main hall and turned a sculpture in the shape of a dragon head built on the wall.

Zhang Hanlin looked at the landscape painting in front of him in shock as it split into two from the middle, and a passage leading to the underground appeared in front of the three of them.

The three of them walked along the passage, which was brightly lit, and when they first entered, it was relatively narrow, and they walked about hundreds of steps, turning seven or eight turns, before they finished the passage.

In front of me was an open space, and this secret room was actually built underground.

The building here is extremely atmospheric, with a height of 20 meters, and the range is extremely wide, and there is a huge training ground in front of you, and there are still many people training frantically shirtless at the moment.

Further on, there are extremely large and scattered houses, exactly twenty-four, and Zhang Hanlin guesses that each group should live in the same house.

No wonder! Zhang Hanlin muttered to himself, no wonder he hadn't found any trace of the secret guard all these years.

Bai Shen looked at the secret guards in this training ground, and sighed: "Brother Zhenzhong, you are so generous, I see that these people all have the strength of the three realms of martial arts, and even some of them are the four realms of martial arts, which is enough for two hundred and forty people, and my city lord's mansion can't come up with so many people with good strength." ”

Zhang Zhenzhong said: "Don't just look at the number of people, so many people know how many taels of silver they spend a year, and it costs almost 10,000 taels a year to raise these people, and they can't afford to raise them." ”

Zhang Hanlin smacked his lips, this is too expensive.

Bai Shen smiled and said: "Brother Zhenzhong, with your medical skills, isn't it a trivial matter to earn 10,000 taels, I remember that the year before last, a certain family lived in and asked you to treat his son, and promised an honorarium of 10,000 taels on the spot, it should be more than enough to raise these secret guards." ”

"Don't you say that the family pharmacy doesn't make money, and even can't make ends meet, and there are so many servants at home to support, I'm so poor that I'm about to make pants. ”

Zhangjia Pharmacy has always been sold to the people at the original price, and some people can't even afford to buy medicine, so the Zhang family will prescribe and dispense medicine for them free of charge after the investigation is clear.

Therefore, although the business of Zhangjia Pharmacy is booming and crowded with people every day, it has been losing money, and the family has been sticking to it, but even so, Zhangjia Pharmacy has always insisted on this.

Zhang Hanlin's eyes widened instantly, "Ten thousand taels, Dad, really gave you a gratuity of ten thousand taels!?"

Zhang Zhenzhong looked at his son's shocked eyes, his heart was dark, and he said disdainfully: "What do you think, please ask my father to go out of the mountain, this ten thousand taels is too little for me." ”

"I'm a good girl, someone is really willing to spend 10,000 taels to see a doctor. Zhang Hanlin couldn't believe it.

Bai Shen patted Zhang Hanlin's shoulder and said, "Hanlin, you have already achieved medical skills, and you will treat people in the future, so I can't say that people will give you so much compensation." ”

Zhang Hanlin's eyes lit up, how much money can he make in that case.

After all, ill-gotten wealth is not desirable, and the poor people are not desirable for money, but of course they must be rewarded by a rich family like this.

When Zhang Hanlin imagined in his heart that he was surrounded by white silver, Zhang Zhenzhong issued an order to everyone in the training ground.

"All zeros are now assembled. Zhang Zhenzhong's voice was full of majesty, and when he heard the voice, the people who were fighting and training in the training ground stopped, and then the crowd immediately moved closer to Zhang Zhenzhong's side.

Zhang Hanlin looked at these twenty-four people, all of whom looked like they were in their thirties, and they had become shapely and strong after exercising for a long time.

In less than ten breaths, a total of twenty-four Zero Guards stood neatly in front of the three of them.

"Meet Zhang Sheng. ”

Twenty-four people greeted Zhang Zhenzhong with a brush, Zhang Zhenzhong waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, I'll come to see if you are idle and moldy this time." But I'm relieved to see that you're all still training. ”

One of the Lichun Group Zeros took the lead and said: "Zhang Sheng took me to wait a lot, not only to take us in, but also to help our family, how dare we be lazy." ”

Zhang Zhenzhong was obviously tired of hearing this, and said: "Don't pat the horse, I haven't seen it for a few days and learned to pat the horse." ”

Lichun Zero was stunned, licked his face and asked, "Does Zhang Sheng have any tasks assigned to the brothers this time, and the bones that have been staying these days are soft." ”

The other zeros were all staring at each other, and they were all so idle that they all faded out of the birds.

Zhang Zhenzhong coughed and told these zeros about it, and all the zeros were excited, and finally his mother could move his muscles and bones.

Zhang Zhenzhong motioned for everyone to be quiet, and continued: "Be careful in this operation, and give each person ten taels of silver afterwards and take three days off. ”

There was an uproar, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, Zhang Hanlin understood these people, after all, anyone who stayed in this isolated place would feel bored.

"Alright, go and gather everyone at once, and get started tonight. ”

"Yes. ”

Everyone was ordered to start acting, because some secret guards were still watching all over the courtyard of Zhangfu at this time, so they sent some people out to look for it.

Ten minutes later, twenty-four groups of dark guards, a total of two hundred and forty people, gathered together, these dark guards looked very excited, it seemed that the zero of each of their groups had already passed this task to them.

"This is the White Shen City Lord of Dongsheng City. Zhang Zhenzhong pointed at Bai Shen and introduced.

Everyone admired, after all, the Grandmaster Realm was also the goal of their efforts, and they said in unison: "I have seen the White City Lord." ”

Bai Shen nodded, without pointing fingers and saying anything.

Zhang Zhenzhong pointed at Zhang Hanlin and said, "This kid doesn't need to be introduced. ”

The dark guards laughed and said in unison, "I've seen Young Master Hanlin." ”

Zhang Hanlin was stunned, how could these people know themselves!

Zhang Zhenzhong pointed to the dark guards and said: "These people are all free and began to protect you secretly, but they all watched you grow up." ”

Zhang Hanlin hurriedly hugged his fists at everyone and said, "Thank you for your care over the years, Hanlin is polite." ”

Bow down to the crowd.

"Young Master Hanlin is serious, this is our duty. I can't afford to wait. ”

"Yes, Master Hanlin......"

Just as the dark guards were saying a word, Zhang Zhenzhong interrupted their speeches and briefly told them about the arrangements for this mission.

One group of stunned people was dispatched by Zhang Hanlin, and the remaining twenty-three groups of Bai Shen were taken away and arranged by themselves.

Everyone had no objections, and Zhang Hanlin led the secret guards of the stinging group to leave first.

The rest Bai Shen and Zhang Zhenzhong said a few words, and then took the remaining secret guards out of the secret passage, the two said goodbye, and Bai Shen took these people out of Zhang's mansion.

After Zhang Zhenzhong sent Bai Shen away, he walked to the wing room where he lived.

After entering the door, I found that Yu Suxin hadn't slept yet.

"Su Xin, why haven't you slept yet, it's so late. ”

Yu Suxin got up from the bed, stretched his clothes for Zhang Zhenzhong, and said, "Aren't I worried, you didn't continue to train Hanlin, right?"

Zhang Zhenzhong said: "Of course I didn't discipline him, in fact, I was just angry, and if I didn't give Hanlin a little criticism, he wouldn't have a snack." ”

"But Bai Shen praised him a lot......"

Then Zhang Hanlin told Yu Suxin about Zhang Hanlin's advice, and there was pride in his words.

Yu Suxin looked at him like this, and said angrily: "Look at you, I'm happy." ”

"He's my son, and I'm glad he did. ”

Yu Suxin said helplessly: "Okay, okay, by the way, in the end, did you call Hanlin over?"

Zhang Zhenzhong casually talked about Bai Shen's borrowing of the secret guard, and he didn't say a word about Zhang Hanlin also transferring a secret guard, he couldn't let Su Xin worry about this matter.

Yu Suxin listened to this, sighed and said, "It's good to rectify Dongsheng City, there has been a bit of chaos in the city recently." ”

Zhang Zhenzhong, lying on the bed, said with relief: "Don't think about this, there is Bai Shen to deal with those miscellaneous things, it's not early tonight, hurry up and rest." ”

Yu Suxin nodded, blew out the candle, and then went to bed.

Zhang Hanlin took the ten secret guards of the stunning group to his study in a remote corner.

In the study, Zhang Hanlin asked respectfully and reasonably: "Brother Secret Guard, I haven't asked you for your name. ”

Shocked Zero clenched his fists and said: "Young Master Hanlin, you can just call us by code name, I am Zero, this is the number one ......"

Stunned Zero introduced the code names of the ten people, and Zhang Hanlin said: "That's not good, you have protected me for many years, and you are older than me, so I should call you brother if it is reasonable." ”

"How does this make ......?"

Zhang Hanlin interrupted everyone's words and said, "Big brothers, you don't have to be polite, it's decided." I'm calling you this time mainly because of one thing. ”

"Outside the east gate of Dongsheng City, there is a gang of horse bandits in the area that is not included in the city, this gang of horse bandits kills people and crosses goods, robs people's girls, and then sells them to Qinglou at a high price......"

Zhang Hanlin's words made several people indignant, these secret guards were deeply influenced by the Zhang family's family style, and they hated this kind of beast who was not as good as him.

Zhang Hanlin continued: "This time, your task is to go to the area outside the east gate of Dongsheng City to find out the movements of these horse bandits, find out who these horse bandits are colluding with, and find out the specific location of their lair as much as possible. ”

All the dark guards responded in unison and said, "Young Master Hanlin, don't worry, I will not disgrace my life." ”

"Don't worry, there is another task, that is, there is a steward named Qin Yue in the Red Ying Courtyard of the Black Rock Market, Brother Zero, you take out the two of you to investigate Qin Yue's family background, by the way, this Qin Yue is also the Three Realms of Martial Arts, you must not be discovered. ”

Zero nodded, and then said, "No. 8, No. 9, the two of you will go to investigate the matter of Qin Yue, and the rest of you will go with me to investigate the matter of the horse bandits." ”

The remaining nine Secret Guards respectfully received the order, and it seemed that Zero had a lot of convincing power in everyone's hearts.

Zhang Hanlin advised: "This operation is very dangerous, the city is very turbulent now, but you don't need to worry about other things, just do your own tasks, and those horse bandits are extremely vicious, and their strength is also good, you big brothers must be more careful." ”

Zero smiled: "Thank you Young Master Hanlin for your concern, we will keep it in mind." ”
