A strong wind.
The wind blew a piece of paper onto the beggar's face.
The beggar lifted the paper from his face and stared at the words on it.
"Recruitment List..."
This is the recruitment notice issued by the Wuqu Hall, which was posted in various places in the capital and distributed to all parts of the Great Zhou.
The content of this list is to recruit martial arts geniuses to take the test, and those who pass the test will enter the Wuqu Hall.
"Wuqu Hall..."
The beggar closed his eyes and a memory came to his mind.
In the darkness of the night, two figures sat on the roof.
"Boss Du, if you don't do this anymore, what do you want to do?" the man asked.
The man was wearing a mask, and only his eyes, which were particularly bright, could be seen.
Xuanying is a killer organization. These people joined the organization due to various experiences and underwent rigorous training, and finally survived.
Du Ye climbed step by step to the top of the killer list and had more choices.
He doesn't like killing good people, so he chooses those who do evil.
But in the final analysis, it is still a tool and has no freedom.
If not this, what else can you do?
He really hadn't thought about it.
However, the man had obviously thought a lot and talked a lot.
"If I could escape from Xuanying, I would join the army. I want to fight in battle, make great achievements, and become a general!" He became more and more excited. "Then I'll have a luxurious mansion, a room full of gold and silver, and beautiful women by my side. It will be so glorious!"
Du Ye listened quietly, showing no interest in the mansion, gold, silver, or beauties.
"Boss Du, do you know Wuqu Hall?" the man continued to ask.
Du Ye is a killer and needs to keep his ears open, so he will naturally know.
He nodded.
"Wuquguan is the fastest way to achieve success. Those who come out of Wuquguan are different from ordinary soldiers. They can become small generals on the battlefield. After winning a few battles and making a few achievements, they will rise to the top!" he said.
"Boss Du, if I became a general, would Mei Niang still rely on me?"
Du Ye knew that Mei Niang, the top performer at Baihua Tower on the Qingshui River, was that man's lover.
"If Mei Niang is really too persistent, I'll make her my concubine." The man chuckled twice and looked at him, "Boss Du, when the time comes, will you come with me to the Wuqu Hall? We'll be generals together!"
Du Ye didn't say anything, just staring at his lively and excited face, lost in thought.
On the outside, these people appear to have all kinds of personalities: some are indifferent, some are flamboyant, some are aloof, and some are romantic. In fact, that is all their disguise. After experiencing so much suffering, everyone has a heavy shackle in their heart.
Only this person is always so lively and full of hope for the future.
That kind of tenacious vitality makes them stand out among the others.
So, everyone likes him.
But how difficult is it to escape from Xuanying?
Later, everyone got tired of this kind of life and decided to fight to the death.
It was a fierce battle, and those familiar yet unfamiliar people fell one after another.
When Du Ye's life was hanging by a thread, the man stood in front of him and blocked the fatal blow for him.
"Live well." said the man.
Then his eyes closed and the vitality disappeared.
Du Ye hugged him, dazed.
Why save him?
Wouldn't it be better for him to live a good life?
Du Ye didn't know how to live well.
All he could do was survive.
Du Ye opened his eyes and looked at the recruitment list in his hand.
Go into battle and kill the enemy, and achieve great things?
Is it really that good to have a house full of gold and silver and beautiful women by your side?
Since he has no goal, why not take that person's goal as your goal?
Du Ye stood up unsteadily and walked towards Wuqu Hall.
He took two steps, then suddenly stopped and looked at the place where he had just been lying.
——"Wait for me here, don't run around, or I won't be able to find you~"
Every time before leaving, the little girl would tell me something.
If she can't find me when she comes again, will she cry?
Du Ye shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.
Why is he thinking about this?
But he was just a little kid, and if he couldn't find himself, he might be forgotten soon.
Du Ye arrived outside the Wuqu Hall, where there was already a long queue.
Du Ye also joined the long queue.
He was covered in dirt, with disheveled hair and a scruffy beard. The people queuing around him looked disgusted and stayed away from him.
"Why are beggars signing up? Do you really think anyone can get into Wuqu Hall?"
Du Ye didn't care and just stood there in line.
There were so many people that it took an hour before it was Du Ye's turn.
The person in charge of registration glanced at him.
"What's the name?"
"Du Ye."
"Have you ever been to school?"
"Learn to read."
"Do you know martial arts?"
"meeting."
"When did you start learning martial arts?"
"Since childhood."
"What happened to your right hand?"
“It’s useless.”
The person in charge frowned, thinking that this person was just here to eat and drink for free.
"You don't meet the registration requirements." said the person in charge.
"Requirements? There are no requirements written on this recruitment list." Du Ye said.
"There are no written requirements, but that doesn't mean there are no requirements at all. Do you know military tactics? Can you kill the enemy? Wuqu Hall is not a place to eat and drink for free. Go away, go away, don't delay others!" The person in charge drove them away.
Just then, a voice rang out.
"Let him sign up. It's clearly stated on the recruitment notice. Anyone who is interested can sign up!"
The person who came was Zhao Shu.
When the person in charge saw Zhao Shu, he immediately became respectful and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Du Ye glanced at Zhao Shu, and Zhao Shu smiled at him gently.
As a prince, Zhao Shu was so polite to the beggar and was not arrogant, which easily made people like him.
Du Ye lowered his eyes, his expression unrecognizable. He signed up and was led in.
Zhao Shu's eyes fell on Du Ye, and he didn't wait until his figure disappeared before he walked to the person in charge of registration, picked up the booklet in front of him, and started reading.
"Du Ye?"
"Yes, Your Highness, the beggar just now...is called Du Ye." The person in charge said hurriedly.
Zhao Shu read his message and seemed to be thinking about something.
Following behind him was Wang Mincai.
Wang Mincai was also one of the officials responsible for recruiting talents for Wuqu Hall.
When they reached a less crowded area, Wang Min asked, "Your Highness, do you know this man?"
"Have you heard of Xuanying?" Zhao Shu asked.
Wang Min was a civil servant and had never heard of it, so he shook his head.
"Xuanying is a killer organization active in the southwest region. It was destroyed some time ago." Zhao Shu said.
His spies are all over the Great Zhou, so he naturally knows about this matter.
"Destruction?" Wang Mincai was surprised.
"Yes, it was almost a mutual slaughter, both sides suffered heavy casualties," said Zhao Shu.
"You mean this Du Ye..."
"The number one killer is Xuan Seng. Few people know Xuan Seng's real name, which is Du Ye." Zhao Shu continued.
Wang Mincai was even more surprised.
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
"We'll know after a little testing. If he's really the Mystic Monk Du Ye, he can still be of use to me..."
That's great.
A smile appeared on Zhao Shu's lips.
