Strange World: My Systematic Practice Life

"Little brother... No, big brother, I don't know what you want from me?"

The bearded man looked nervously at the egret beside him, and asked softly.

Although he likes to brag, but he has been around for a long time, he has never seen anyone, and he still has eyesight. He didn't realize it just now, but now the more he looks at the young man in front of him, the more frightened he is.

He himself is a warrior in the early stage of Tongli. He is not strong, but he still has a handful of strength.

I tried my best to not be able to move this young man, what does this mean, it means that the strength of the other party far exceeds my own.

Definitely a mid-term Kone no doubt.

In fact, even if the opponent is in the middle stage of Tongli, he still believes that the opponent will not mess around in the inner city, because the government offices in the inner city are not decorations.

Not to mention Tongli, even the pulse condensing warriors would face accountability from the Yamen if they committed crimes in the inner city in a grand manner.

What really scares him is the age of the other party.

In the mid-[-]th and [-]th Kone period, he would never believe that such a talent had no background behind it.

"I want to ask about the Night Watchman."

Egret picked up the wine glass and sniffed it in front of his nose. The pungent and pungent smell instantly filled his nostrils, but he didn't drink it. He doesn't like alcohol, except for fruit wine.

"Night watchman?" The bearded beard was taken aback when he heard the words, as if he didn't expect the other party to ask this.

Even if he was surprised again, how could the other party know that he knew about the night watchman?

Could it be that the other party is someone from the Night Watch Division? Thinking of this, the bearded man couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Looking at the egret again, his eyes were full of fear.

"You...you are a night watchman!!"

Egret shook his head.

"It's fine...it's fine..."

Seeing this, the bearded man finally heaved a long sigh of relief, and kept muttering in his mouth. Soon he thought of something again, and looked at Bailu again.

"Then why did you ask me about the night watchman, how did you know..."

Seeing the bearded look, Egret frowned slightly.

It seems that the name of the night watchman is really bluffing.

"I heard you talk about the night watchman yesterday, and it's in this tavern."

"So that's how it is!" The bearded man finally felt relieved, and he also wished to give himself two big mouths, so that he could have such a big mouth.

"What do you want to know? Let me explain first that I don't know anything about the Night Watchman, I just have a half-knowledge."

The bearded man glanced around, and with the lesson learned from Bailu, he couldn't help but lower his voice when he mentioned the night watchman.

"I want to know how to join the Night Watch Division?"

"Join the Night Watch Division!?" The bearded man was stunned again, and soon shook his head again and again.

"How do I know how to join the Night Watch Division? If I knew, I would go."

"If you don't know, then please help me find out." Bai Lu was not surprised, and directly took out a silver ingot from his arms and put it on the table. Immediately, with a strong hand, the silver ingot was directly kneaded into a ball.

With the kneading of Bailu's fingers, the shape is constantly changing, as if what is in the hand is not silver but dough.

Seeing this, the bearded man's pupils shrank, and he swallowed with some difficulty.

"Kone's mid-term, this is absolutely tm's Kone's mid-term real hammer."

You must know that although the hardness of Dayu Guanyin is not as good as that of iron, it is not much worse.

Only mid-term fighters who can do this can do it.

"Whether it is successful or not, this ingot of silver is yours. If there is an answer that satisfies me, I will give you another 30 taels."

After finishing speaking, Bailu paused, and the dough had been pinched back into the shape of a silver ingot by him again, and its appearance was the same as before. This control was evident.

Looking at the silver ingots with more than 20 taels in front of him, the bearded man finally nodded fiercely.

"Okay, brother, just wait, just leave this matter to me."

"Okay, tomorrow morning, still here."

"Row!"

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Because the three days were up, Bai Lu went to the gate of the city to pay the entrance fee for the three days, and then walked around the shops on the street to try his luck.

See if you can touch objects with energy.

Until noon, the result was nothing.

Bai Lu gave up and went back to the restaurant.

At this time, the bearded man in the restaurant was sitting on the window seat, and beside him was a middle-aged man with a long beard and a big black mole at the corner of his mouth.

The man was dressed as a scribe, and with a glance, Bai Lu saw that his blood was weak, and he was obviously an ordinary person.

"Old... brother, you are here, take your seat quickly."

Seeing the egret coming, Beard's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly led the egret to the private room beside the restaurant.

There is a special fee for the private room in the restaurant, and the price is not low. If you change to the usual bearded room, you will never be willing to rent it.

The three of them sat down, drinks and food were already placed on the table.

"Brother, I know you don't like drinking, so I specially ordered a jug of fruit wine for you."

The bearded man enthusiastically handed over a flagon and placed it in front of the egret.

"Huh?" Bailu was a little surprised, and couldn't help but give the bearded man a high look.

Unexpectedly, the bearded man not only noticed the small details of yesterday, but even ordered a fruit wine for himself.

It seems that he specifically asked the waiter in the restaurant about his preferences.

It seems that this bearded man is not only good at bragging, but also quite clever in dealing with the world.

"Brother, let me introduce you first. This is my old cousin. He is the chief clerk in the government office. He is very clear about the affairs in the office."

The bearded man pointed to the middle-aged scribe next to him and introduced.

The scribe has been quietly sizing Bailu up since he took his seat. Seeing himself being introduced, he also stood up and bowed awkwardly to Bailu.

"Listen more to my cousin talking about little brother Bai. Today, he is really brave and extraordinary. He is really a young Yingjiesa. I am Zhu Jiu. Just call me Lao Jiu."

Seeing this, the egret also bowed to the middle-aged scribe.

Although the position of Chief Recorder is not considered an official, it can still be regarded as a small yamen official.

Presumably, the night watchman also knows something about it.

"My younger brother must have told you about me, I don't know what the result will be?"

"Well..." Zhu Jiu said with a look of hesitation on his face, after a pause.

"To tell the truth from what little brother Bai said, the Night Watch Division has very strict requirements for personnel. First of all, they must have good martial arts qualifications. There is no problem with this, little brother Bai. However, compared to qualifications, the Night Watch Division pays more attention to background. There can be no problems in this regard, otherwise..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Jiu glanced at Bailu, and the meaning was self-evident.

Seeing this, the bearded man also looked at the egret nervously.

He is not an idiot, although his appearance is vulgar, but he is quite smart in his heart.

Yesterday, after Bai Lu said that he wanted to join the Night Watch Division, he had already confirmed that the other party was definitely not a member of a noble family.

If the children of the aristocratic families want to join the Night Watch Division, they have their own connections, so there is no need to find him. Besides, those aristocratic families know more about the Night Watch Division than he does.

Therefore, in his opinion, Bailu probably committed a crime or provoked some enemies, fled to Tianshui City, heard the news from the Night Watch Division, and then wanted to join the Night Watch Division to obtain protection.

Hearing what Zhu Jiu said, Bai Lu frowned immediately.

Didn't expect there to be such a layer.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with his background.

The orthodox Dayu people, who were born in peasant households, can be said to be honest and responsible farmers for the last three generations.

But therein lies the problem.

With his current strength, he is not sure that he can hide it from the people in the Night Watch Division. An ordinary farmer boy has reached the peak of his kones at such an age. Such a talent for cultivation is very likely to attract the attention of people with ulterior motives. .

Of course, this is not the main point, after all, his martial arts cultivation base can be evaded to the fact that he is a genius.

The real question is his status in the Lee family.

According to his previous memory, he stayed in the Li family for two or three years.

Although most of them are long-term workers, but with the domineering performance of the night watchman, let alone joining them with this status, even if they see him, they may be held accountable.

Seeing the appearance of the egret, the bearded man confirmed his guess, and exchanged glances with his cousin next to him, revealing such an expression.

"Is there any other way?" Egret asked.

"Well! Brother Bai, to tell you the truth, I, Zhu Jiu, are just a small clerk in the government office. Even if I meet the above two points, I don't have the ability to recommend you to join the Night Watch Department, little brother."

Zhu Jiu suddenly spoke at this moment.

"What do you mean, just say it directly." Bai Lu picked up the jug, poured himself a glass of fruit wine, and said lightly.

"Actually, it's too difficult for the Night Watch Division to join, and it's even more difficult to join directly, but it's not like there's no chance." Zhu Jiu showed a smile on his face.

He raised his head only to meet the expressionless face.

The smile on his face froze, thinking that the one in front of him was a martial artist with peak power, so he didn't dare to keep showing off, and said directly.

"Brother Bai can join the government office first, the night watchman Zhu has no choice, but the government office is okay, and with this layer of skin, even if someone wants to touch you, you have to weigh the government's face."

"Besides, if you become a member of the government, it will be much easier to join the Night Watch Division in the future. After all, the Night Watch Division recruits first from the yamen."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Jiu stopped talking and quietly waited for Bailu's reply.

"Join the government office?" Egret chewed lightly.

I have already calculated the gains and losses of joining the government office in my heart.

After pondering for a moment, Egret still nodded.

Now he has basically no threat, and joining the government office is a must for besieging the city.

With the relationship with the government, it will be more convenient to do things in the future.

Of course, the most important thing is that the government handles a lot of cases every day, and there should be more or less ghosts and ghosts among them.

After all, it should be informed by the government office that the Night Watch Division handles these matters.

Once you make up your mind, there is nothing wrong with egrets.

"That's fine, then join the government office first. I don't know what the rules are for joining the government office."

Seeing that Bailu agreed, Zhu Jiu didn't show any surprise on his face, as if he knew that he would agree.

"Brother Bai, it's much easier to have Zhu here in the government office. During this time, the yamen is recruiting arresters. With Brother Bai's skill, it's no problem. It's just that the management of this government office is strict after all. Even if there is Zhu As a guarantee, it is still unavoidable to manage up and down, so..."

When Zhu Jiu said this, he hesitated to speak.

Egret naturally understood what the other party meant, so it was no surprise that he spoke directly.

"how much is it?"

"Well... it takes about 70 taels, no, [-] taels is enough..."

Before Zhu Jiu could finish speaking, a bill of 100 taels was already in his hand.

"Take these, and it will be yours if things are done well. In the future, we will have to deal with each other."

A smile appeared on Bailu's face, and he swallowed the fruit wine in his hand.

"Okay... From now on, Brother Bai, we will be colleagues, and we will keep in touch frequently!"

Zhu Jiu held the money note tightly in his hand, glanced at it inadvertently to identify the authenticity, and then responded with a smile on his face.

"I hope to be able to join the job as soon as possible."

"Okay, tomorrow, brother Bai can go directly to the government office tomorrow morning, and I will arrange everything."

Zhu Jiu patted his chest and repeatedly reassured.

The three of them chatted again, mainly about the things that need to be paid attention to when they become government servants in the future.

It didn't dissipate until the afternoon.

Before leaving, Bai Lu took out another ingot of silver and threw it to the bearded man, making the latter smile and thank him repeatedly.

Seeing the backs of the two leaving, Bai Lu slowly looked away.

The reason why he gave generously to these two people was not because of how rich he was.

It was because he was unfamiliar with life in the inner city, and these two people were considered local snakes, and they were quite familiar with everything in the city.

If there is anything to happen in the future, it will undoubtedly be much more convenient to have these two people.

The price is only about some silver coins.

Back at the restaurant, Bai Lu first took a look at Du Yuzhu, thinking about it, since he came to the inner city, he spent most of his time in the hotel room.

Now that nothing happened, Bai Lu asked Du Yuzhu to walk around the inner city together, buying some daily necessities and so on.

By the way, I took a look at the houses in the inner city.

If he really wants to join the government office, he must have a residence in the inner city, otherwise it is not a long-term solution to keep paying the entry fee.

It's just a pity that after looking around, I didn't find a house I was too satisfied with.

"Forget it, let's talk about it after entering the government office. For the time being, I live in a restaurant."

After thinking about it, Bailu took Du Yuzhu back to the restaurant.

night time.

Bai Lu put on a new outfit and headed out of the city.

He has advanced a lot in martial arts, and he hasn't fully adapted to it yet.

Simply take advantage of the night to go out of the city to find some wild animals to practice skills, maybe you can gain something.

In the outer city.

The Li family performed martial arts.

The courtyard, which was originally quite solemn in the outer city, was now in a mess.

Egret stood on top of the wall and looked into it carefully.

At this time, the martial arts arena was empty.

There were even some blood stains on the ground.

Obviously, the Li family in the inner city was destroyed, and the property belonging to the Li family had already been targeted.

"I don't know what happened to Zhang Hu?"

Although Zhang Hu is quite serious on weekdays, he actually treats them fairly well.

So if it happens, Egret doesn't mind helping the other party.

But now it seems that it is useless, the other party has already run away, or has encountered some accident.
