The next day, the Beijing Recruitment Hall. Tan Yuan followed a guard around the backyard bend and arrived at the "Righteous Hall". At this time, in the hall, Yan Kuo and Yue Xingchen were discussing things. Yue Xingchen is easy-going and sleek, and when he was in the northern suburbs, Yan Kuo had also seen his swordsmanship with his own eyes, so he was also blue-eyed, and often talked with him about the past and the present, and talked about wine and joy. Although they have not spent much time together, they have a deep brotherhood. The guard walked to the door, bowed respectfully, and said, "Report to the deputy hall master, yesterday night, a strong man came to join our recruitment hall, and his subordinates let him rest for the night first, and now bring him to see you." Yan Kuo's face was still expressionless, but compared to the previous indifference, at this moment, it was a little more official, which was daunting. Yan Kuo nodded and said coldly, "I know, you just let him in." The guard answered, and then called Tan Yuan, who was standing outside the door, in.

Yan Kuo deliberately tested Tan Yuan's patience and perseverance, although he had already caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of his eye, he just didn't ask, just continued to discuss martial arts insights with Yue Xingchen. Yue Xingchen was a smart person, so he naturally knew Yan Kuo's intention to do this, so he was also very cooperative, completely ignoring Tan Yuan, who was standing on the side. Tan Yuan bowed his hand, and said in a loud voice: "In Xia Tan Yuan, meet the deputy hall master!" Yan Kuo took a sip of tea without hurrying, and poured a cup for Yue Xingchen by the way, and the two of them tasted it carefully. Tan Yuan saw that Yan Kuo ignored him for a long time, so he also withdrew his posture of salute, and said with a slight anger in his tone: "I really didn't expect that the dignified Beijing Zhaoxian Pavilion would be such a hospitable gift. Yan Kuo saw that he couldn't bear it, so he also spoke: "Since Brother Tai knows that we are here in the dignified Capital Recruitment Hall, if you come sincerely to vote, what's the harm in waiting a little longer?" Tan Yuan heard him say this, but he was rude, so he didn't say anything more, and stood quietly in place and waited. Tan Yuan raised his head slightly, saw that Yan Kuo was about thirty-three four years old, and said in his heart: This deputy pavilion master has passed the age of establishment, I am afraid that the main pavilion master is already over half a hundred years old. Just as he was thinking about these things in a daze, Yan Kuo suddenly spoke and asked, "This brother, what is your surname, where is your name?" Tan Yuan quickly came back to his senses and said, "In the lower Tan Yuan, Shandong people's clan." As soon as Yan Kuo heard that the surname "Tan" was from Shandong, he couldn't help but think of something in his heart, and immediately asked: "Dare to ask who are you Tan Boxiong's predecessor?" Tan Yuan's body suddenly shook, a trace of sadness flashed on his face, and said: "He is the ancestor of the next." Yan Kuo was really taken aback, stood up, and asked in surprise: "What? Old Hero Tan passed away? How did he die?" Yue Xingchen came from the Qianmen of the four major factions outside the Guanwai, so he naturally didn't know about the martial arts in the Central Plains, so he drank tea quietly and listened to their conversation.

Tan Yuan's impression of Yan Kuo was not very good, but now listening to his tone, his respect for his father was revealed, and the impression in his heart changed a lot. He said in his heart: The deputy hall master has such respect for his father, then things should be easier. Tan Yuan sighed softly and said sadly, "My ancestor was killed by my senior brother when he was competing with my senior brother 'White-haired Demon Boy'. Hearing this, not only Yan Kuo, but even Yue Xingchen, who was sitting, was taken aback, you must know that whether it is the Central Plains Martial Arts or the rivers and lakes outside the Guanwai, killing the teacher is a heinous crime, even if it is cut by a thousand knives, the five horses will not be able to make up for this sin. And Yan Kuo thought of another level, when he first entered the rivers and lakes, he had traveled to various places, although he had not seen Tan Boxiong with his own eyes, but he also knew that the reason why the Imperial Sword Gate was able to dominate the rivers and lakes and merged with the Henan Qingxu faction to become the top two in the Central Plains martial arts swordsmanship was entirely because of Tan Boxiong, a martial arts wizard, and several sets of swordsmanship he created and improved were all exquisite and peerless. Counting up, Tan Boxiong's predecessors also have more than fifty, and it is needless to say that he has profound internal strength. Now, his apprentice was able to kill him, how could this not make Yan Kuo wonder. He asked again, "Does your senior brother really have the ability to kill your father?" Tan Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't know, my senior brother's swordsmanship is passed down by my father, and his attainments are extraordinary. If you can beat my father, I can't say. Yan Kuoxin said: It must be that when Tan Boxiong's predecessors were competing for swords, he thought that his apprentice had followed him for so many years, and he had a deep master-apprentice relationship, and he couldn't bear to be heavy-handed to him, so he was found by his apprentice and killed in a sneak attack. When Yan Kuo thought of this, he suddenly became enlightened and said, "In this way, your senior brother must have killed your father for the position of the head of the Shandong Imperial Sword Sect, and then drove you out of the sect, is that true?" Tan Yuan shook his head again and said, "With what I know about him, he will definitely not be the kind of person who covets the position of the head of the sect." Yan Kuo was also curious after hearing this, and asked, "Oh, why is this?" Tan Yuan frowned slightly, and said: "That guy, he loves swordsmanship, he spends all his time studying swordsmanship, and he has always had no distractions. Yan Kuo was puzzled: "In that case, then why did you kill your father?" Tan Yuan lowered his head and said faintly: "That guy left a sentence before leaving, he said, 'I killed Master just to prove how strong my own strength is, and I have no interest in the position of head of the family'." After that, he left the Imperial Sword Gate alone and went elsewhere to challenge the swordsmanship of various places. After hearing this, Yan Kuo was very interested in the white-haired demon boy in Tan Yuan's mouth, and even admired his unique character of devoting himself to studying martial arts, but asking about the world, and not liking to compete for power and position. However, when I thought of him being ungrateful, and killing the beast, I no longer had any good feelings. Yan Kuo thought for a while, and roughly guessed Tan Yuan's intention, and said, "Tan Yuan, if I guessed correctly, you came to join the Zhaoxian Pavilion this time, just to use our power to avenge your father's murder?" Tan Yuan didn't expect Yan Kuo to be able to see through his mind at a glance, and he was also taken aback, and said, "I... I. Yan Kuo immediately interrupted him and said solemnly: "Let me tell you, the imperial court is currently employing people, and any person in our recruitment hall may be used at any time, and the fear of life often happens, and I must explain this to you." Moreover, there is one thing, you also have to make it clear, only if you first do things for the emperor and make contributions, the emperor can help you take revenge, do you understand?" Tan Yuan was silent after hearing this, Yan Kuo snorted coldly, and said: "Tan Yuan, you tell me the truth, with the prestige of Tan's predecessors in the martial arts, and the number of existing disciples of Shandong Yujian Gate, even if you don't use the power of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, with the prestige of your Imperial Sword Gate in the rivers and lakes, you can take revenge, why do you come all the way to join the Zhaoxian Pavilion?" Tan Yuan took a step back and said respectfully, "Deputy Pavilion Master, you really have a good sense of everything. Indeed, if I asked other sects to help me in the name of my father, even if they would not do their best, they would at least sell my father a little noodles. It's just that before his death, my father warned me and all the brothers and sisters that after his old man passed away, he would never seek revenge on the white-haired demon boy, otherwise he would not be his disciple. My brothers and I all regarded my father as a celestial, and his last words naturally did not dare anyone to disobey, and all the brothers and sisters also elected me to succeed me as the new head of the Imperial Sword Gate. However, I can't bear the white-haired devil boy killing my father, I can't stand him being so ungrateful. So, I took it upon myself to leave the sect and come out to seek revenge on the white-haired demon boy. Later, I met him halfway through. Alas, I only blame me for my mediocre talent, my lack of skill, and I am not his opponent at all, and after a few tricks with him, I was defeated. That guy spared my life, and let me seek revenge on him after I was successful in swordsmanship, I knew that my talent was not as good as his, even if I practiced for another ten years, I am afraid I would not be able to beat him. I had no choice but to go north along the way, and along the way I heard that the capital had built a new 'Zhaoxian Pavilion', and invited martial arts heroes to the world, so I rushed to join me overnight, hoping that the deputy hall owner could accept me. With that, he got down on one knee and raised his fist above his head.

Yan Kuo hurriedly helped him up and said, "When Ling Zun shook the rivers and lakes, I was still a child. Besides, the man has gold under his knees, and he kneels to his parents when he returns to heaven, how can he kneel to me, an outsider, get up quickly!" Yan Kuo looked at Tan Yuan, and when he saw his determined expression, he said: "No matter what, I still said what I said just now, you have to think about it carefully, only if you do a good job for the emperor first, you may have the opportunity to help you take revenge." Tan Yuan already had the intention of leaving him behind after listening to Yan Kuo's words, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "Deputy Pavilion Master, I have already thought very clearly, everything is in accordance with the emperor's arrangement." Yan Kuo nodded, turned his back and walked back to his seat, and said, "Okay, then from today on, you will be a member of our Capital Recruitment Hall." After speaking, he threw a small bamboo card over, Tan Yuan took it easily, and his body couldn't help but take two steps back. He raised his hand to look at the small bamboo plaque, on which his name was written, almost exactly the same as the one Shi Yi gave him last night. He couldn't help but be taken aback and looked up at Yan Kuo. Yan Kuo said expressionlessly: "The previous one, return it to Shi Yi." Someone!" As soon as he finished speaking, a guard walked in. Yan Kuo continued: "Take this Tan Yuan brother back to the room to rest first, and then assign follow-up tasks after the hall master returns." Tan Yuan said in his heart: I didn't expect the owner of the Zhaoxian Pavilion to be in the hall. Tan Yuan saluted again and said, "Deputy Pavilion Master, then I will retire first, if there is any news about the white-haired demon boy, I hope the Deputy Pavilion Master can inform me in time." Yan Kuo nodded and said coldly: "This is natural, you go back first." ”

Yue Xingchen saw that Tan Yuan had already left, so he got up and asked, "Brother Yan, is the swordsmanship of the Shandong Imperial Sword Sect really very powerful?" Yan Kuo nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, the Shandong Imperial Sword Sect and the Henan Qingxu Sect are the most superb sects in our Central Plains martial arts swordsmanship. Yue Xingchen straightened his sleeves and said, "But I saw that Brother Yan tried Tan Yuan's kung fu just now, and his martial arts didn't seem to be very strong. Yan Kuo said coldly: "I can also see this, but after all, he is the young master of Shandong Yujian Gate, and the son of Tan Boxiong's predecessors. If the time is ripe and the conditions permit, we will help him avenge his father together. After Jiang Feng comes back, I will take Tan Yuan to see him again, whether to go or stay, let him make the final decision. When Yue Xingchen heard the name of "Jiang Feng", he said in his heart: "Master Jiang, I don't know if you have seen my master, senior sister, junior brother and junior sister, if you get the news and go back to Chufeng to see the martial arts of the four factions, you will definitely be open-minded......
