The front yard of the martial arts hall. When everyone saw Zhou Xing and Zhang Tiesheng who looked like an iron tower entering the front yard, they all said hello. Hearing the voices of the people behind him, Zhao Hu turned around and saw Zhou Xing and Zhang Tiesheng. At this time, Zhou Xing also looked in the direction of Cheng Ran and Zhao Hu. He walked straight in this direction with a smile on his face. "All the junior brothers are here! But I'm late!" What's going on? Why did I hear that Junior Brother Zhao is going to fight Junior Brother Cheng? " He then looked at Li Qing, who was a little brighter among the green eyes: "Junior Sister Li is here too! Can Junior Sister Li officially enter the ranks of the ninth level of martial arts?" "Senior Brother Zhou!" Zhao Hu said. Li Qing also said: "It went smoothly. I officially entered the ninth level of martial arts yesterday." "Congratulations!" Zhou Xing smiled. Then his eyes wandered between Cheng Ran and Zhao Hu again.
"As soon as I stepped into the gate of the martial arts hall, I vaguely heard the words of the two junior brothers. Is Junior Brother Zhao going to compete with Junior Brother Cheng in martial arts?" Zhao Hu said, "Humph! I think Cheng Ran has been unhappy for a long time! I just don't know if he dares to challenge me." Cheng Ran suddenly looked helpless and looked at Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing couldn't help but smile knowingly, and then said: "Junior Brother Zhao asked Junior Brother Cheng to compete with you in martial arts. This is a bit bullying!" "Junior Brother Cheng has only been admitted to the martial arts school for less than half a year, and Junior Brother Zhao is at the level of the ninth level of martial arts. Moreover, he has perfected the Tiger Shape Fist and has already mastered the strength of the tiger. How can Junior Brother Cheng cope with this challenge?" Li Qing also had some understanding at this time. She was not stupid, how could she not know that Zhao Hu had always been interested in her. She looked at Zhao Hu with some disgust. "Senior Brother Zhao is going too far!" "Have I passed?" Zhao Hu's eyes were like fire and he glared at Cheng Ran fiercely: "Very good! Cheng Ran, I will remember you!" Seeing this scene, Cheng Ran looked helpless. Jiang Ning was also speechless in his heart. "Beauty is a disaster, the ancients never deceived me!" "Fortunately, it was Senior Brother Cheng Ran who was targeted, not me!" At this moment, Jiang Ning had secretly made up his mind to stay away from women. Especially a good-looking woman like Li Qing. at this time. Watching Zhao Hu leave, Zhou Xing smiled at Cheng Ran. "Okay, Junior Brother Cheng is fine!" Cheng Ran clasped his fists: "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhou, for rescuing me."
"It's a small matter!" Zhou Xing said with a smile: "Zhao Hu will accept his death if he doesn't get enough oil and salt. Junior Brother Cheng must be more careful in the future!" "I understand!" Cheng Ran clasped his fists. Zhou Xing smiled in response. He had already tried to recruit Zhao Hu privately. With no hope of recruiting him, Zhou Xing naturally chose to side with Cheng Ran today. In his opinion, Cheng Ran had a good family background and good martial arts talent. The odds of winning against Xiao Peng for a spot in the Inspectorate are not low, both of them are about 50-50. So naturally he didn't intend to let go of recruiting Cheng Ran. In his opinion, the most important thing when entering the Inspectorate is power. The power of the Inspectorate is too great. Check all the people, patrol the world, from the princes and nobles to the common people, you can kill them first and then report them. How could he not understand what a huge power this was. If the Zhou family wants to prosper and become a powerful family like the Cao, Liu and Xie families, or even surpass these three families and become the local emperor of Luoshui County, the key is to be in the Inspectorate. The special period of Daxia created special imperial institutions. Therefore, he intends to make friends with every person who may enter the inspection house. But there was really nothing he could do to recruit Zhao Hu. Zhao Hu came from the bottom and was naturally extremely hostile to the children of rich families like him and Cheng Ran. Zhou Xing also took out a few invitations from his arms. "Junior Brother Cheng, I wonder if you are willing to come to Fenghua Tower in three days!" "What is this?" Cheng Ran hesitated. Zhou Xing smiled: "The Inspection Mansion will be opened in three months. I am very optimistic about Junior Brother Cheng and want to become colleagues with Junior Brother Cheng! There are conditions I have offered in it. Junior Brother Cheng might as well take a look!" Cheng Ran smiled knowingly: "Senior Brother Zhou, let me think about it!" "No rush! No rush!" Zhou Xing smiled and shook his head: "You have three days for Junior Brother Cheng to think about it!" He immediately looked at Li Qing and took out an invitation from his arms: "Junior Sister Li has a rich family. Although I probably don't like the conditions I proposed, I still want to advance and retreat together with Junior Sister Li." Li Qing took the invitation, glanced at it, and closed it. "I appreciate Senior Brother Zhou's kindness! If you are from the same sect as me, we should advance and retreat together!" Upon hearing this, Cheng Ran understood what Li Qing meant, and then he smiled. "In this case, Junior Sister Li's words are enough!" Then, Zhou Xing said: "Junior brother and sister, I still have something to do, so why don't you go over there first?" "Senior brother, walk slowly!" Cheng Ran said. Li Qing also nodded.
Jiang Ning cupped his fists and said, "Senior Brother Zhou, please stay." "What's wrong?" Zhou Xing stopped. Jiang Ning said: "I want to buy a few wild ginseng roots from Senior Brother Zhou Xing to make up for my body's consumption." "So that's what happened!" Zhou Xing said with a smile on his face: "I usually give other juniors ten taels of silver each for ten years. I wonder what Junior Brother Jiang's budget is?" Jiang Ning took out the silver notes in his arms and the two ingots of twenty taels of silver sent by Jiang Li's client: "Brother Zhou, these are fifty taels of silver notes and twenty taels of silver. I am going to exchange them all for wild ginseng. " Zhou Xing took the banknote and pocketed it directly without checking it. His behavior was quite straightforward. "Since it was Junior Brother Jiang who asked, then of course I can't sell it to Junior Brother Jiang at the price of ten taels of silver per plant. I'll have my servants send ten wild ginsengs over later, and the extra three will be considered as a token of my appreciation." "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhou!" Jiang Ning bowed his hands and thanked him. Zhou Xing smiled and said, "You and I are from the same sect, and I am your senior brother. As a senior brother, we have the friendship of fellow sects. As a senior brother, I naturally have to take care of my junior brother. It would be a bit awkward to say thank you." After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Ning, and after a little thought in his heart, he gave up the idea of investing in Jiang Ning. He also had an impression of Jiang Ning. The first day he met Jiang Ning, he was quite surprised. So he remembered Jiang Ning and his name at that time. But for him, it was just a surprise. At that time, Jiang Ning's performance in his eyes was just an outstanding memory. Now in his opinion, Jiang Ning has practiced martial arts for too short a time and his strength is limited. He has no chance to open a patrol office in the near future. Missed this opportunity to leap over the dragon gate and hold power. In his eyes, even if Jiang Ning has good talent, his future achievements will be limited. So although he is somewhat optimistic, it is enough to simply make friends with one or two people! Today's Jiang Ning is not worth his investment at such a high cost. After all, although his family business is quite rich, his expenses are also high, and if he wants to invest in and recruit people he values, he needs a lot of wealth and resources. If he doesn't bet heavily, how can he get favors? Once the investment is successful, once the invested person seizes the opportunity of the Inspection Office and is able to rise in the future, then the Zhou family will also rise. The favors of martial arts masters and those in power cannot be measured by some yellow and white things. When investing when you are weak and not yet developed, once successful, the harvest will naturally be extremely rich. Even if he cannot rise in the future, as a member of the Inspection Office with him, he will be promoted in the future and can also be used by trustworthy people. Therefore, he naturally does not want to waste wealth and resources on people who have no chance. In his eyes, people have limited opportunities in their lives. Once they miss it, they really miss it, and their future destiny will be completely different. Luck and opportunity are also part of strength. Zhou Xing agrees with this statement very much.
After making a decision, he waved his hand and turned to leave. Seeing this, Li Qing also said: "The two junior brothers chat, I will go to pay my respects to the master." "Senior sister, take care!" Cheng Ran said. Jiang Ning also said: "Senior sister Li, take care!"
