"Can that little bastard from our family do it?"

"Whether it works or not, you have to try it. What if it works?"

"I heard that Mr. Luo even wants girls, and girls can also study. This is a great thing. Girls who study may be able to marry a well-off family in the capital in the future, which is much better than staying in the village!"

"..."

As soon as the news spread, the whole village was shocked.

Those who have children at home are seizing the time to teach their children a lesson and prepare to take them to Luo Xingchen for a look.

And those who don't have children at home...or the children are too old, are also thinking of ways to come together.

Even if you don't have a child to study, it would be great if you can find a job with Mr. Luo. Who wants to spend their whole life hunting in the mountains or digging for food in the soil.

In the middle of the afternoon, Luo Xingchen saw a crowd of people in the small square.

Some people looked familiar to him, and some people were very strange, having never seen them before.

No matter who they are, the same hope and desire shine in their eyes.

"Just be quiet and let the adults talk. It's noisy. What does it look like?"

The old village chief paused on the ground with his crutch and coughed twice.

Immediately, the noisy sounds gradually disappeared, and finally, there was silence.

Luo Xingchen stood on a platform made of bluestone, glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "Dear fellow villagers of Mo Village, I am going to select a few children to study in the capital this time. As long as they pass my assessment,

It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl, it’s okay.”

"Those who pass the examination can go to the capital with their whole family. I will provide food and accommodation, so there is no need to worry."

Later, Luo Xingchen announced the assessment method.

The assessment method is very simple.

That is, children under the age of ten are asked to go to a house near the square to take the assessment.

The guard with a golden snake guard held a piece of paper full of graphics and asked the children to look at it and choose.

Children don't need to know the words, as long as their brains are good enough, they can pass.

The assessment was very fast. Before long, out of hundreds of children in the village, only six passed.

Those who had passed were overjoyed, while those who had not passed were very depressed. They gathered in the small square and refused to leave.

"Don't worry if you don't pass. I have already made an agreement with the old village chief. Every year, we will come to Mo Village to select people. In addition, we will hire some people. In the future, everyone will have a chance."

"In addition, in order to thank you for your support, we will distribute fifty taels of silver to each family!"

As soon as Luo Xingchen finished talking, the depressed faces of the people in the square had disappeared, and they couldn't help but start cheering.

Fifty taels per family, this is really a generous sum.

For Luo Xingchen, it is just a small amount, but for these villagers, it is already a huge amount of wealth, equivalent to about one to two years of income. That is when the annual income is good. If you encounter

The situation is not good, and if you can barely make ends meet, you are considered capable.

After the money was paid, the villagers took out some food, water, etc., so that the nearby Golden Snake Guards soldiers could have a place to rest.

After a day of rest, Luo Xingchen decided to leave through the secret passage.

Luo Xingchen didn't take the white tiger puppet beast of the old village chief of Mo Village, as well as the Mo family's notes. He planned to take them all away when he returned to the capital after finishing his work in the north.

The children selected by Luo Xingchen, including Mo Xiaoxiao, Xiao Huwa and others, were arranged by Zi Yan to send them to the capital.

After arriving in the capital, there will naturally be people to receive them.

…

The side view of Moyun Forest.

In a mountain forest, a figure is like a bat, running like lightning.

Suddenly, a figure turned around from behind a rock.

This is a man in gray clothes. His eyebrows are very thick, like two swords, and his eyes are very sharp, like the eyes of an eagle.

"Why did you come in person?"

The man in gray clothes raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.

"Some words are difficult to convey and can only be said face to face."

A figure flying from the forest fell in front of the man in gray. This figure wore a mask and a loose robe, and spoke in a voice that was neither male nor female.

From the outside, it is impossible to tell whether this person is male or female, or how old he is.

"No. 7, hurry up and say, I have something important to do."

The man in gray clothes was a little impatient. After he received the order to come here, he ran sleeplessly for a day and a night before arriving here.

Walking non-stop for such a long time has made him exhausted.

If it weren't for the extraordinary status of the person in front of him, he would probably turn around and leave without talking nonsense to this person at all.

"What I'm going to say next is very important. You have to pass it on truthfully. You have to do it quickly and don't delay." The man in the big robe said slowly.

"Okay, if you have something to say, tell me quickly. You are wasting your time now." The man in gray clothes became more and more impatient. He just wanted to find a place to take a good rest first.

"Okay, what I want to talk about first is the imperial court's deployment of troops..."

Just when the man in the big robe wanted to continue talking, suddenly a bolt of arrow light rushed towards him from a distance.

Both the big-robed man and the gray-robed man moved to both sides.

Their movements are extremely agile, showing amazing martial arts skills.

"who?"

The man in gray said angrily.

At this moment, he quickly glanced at the man in the big robe.

The doubts about the man in the big robe suddenly rose in his heart.

"Well done! You lured this man to his death."

Suddenly, a man's voice sounded, and a man jumped out from the treetops in the distance.

fell to the ground.

The man is wearing a unicorn suit, which is a robe that can only be worn by the commander-in-chief of the hidden guards. It is usually a robe given to the princes, princes, etc. by the imperial court.

There is a jade pendant hanging around his waist and an embroidered spring knife.

On a fair face, his eyes were as piercing as a knife.

"You, you are not a hidden guard, how dare you wear these clothes?" The man in the big robe said in shock.

"There is no need to use cover. It is not difficult for the two of us to take down a demon sect leader here." The man smiled slightly.

"No. 7, you are a traitor, you betrayed me!"

The man in gray clothes shouted angrily.

"Are you stupid? If I betray you, will he be the only one?" The man in the big robe sneered.

In his eyes, this man in gray clothes somehow became the leader of the Demonic Church, and his brain seemed to be rusty, and he was easily led to a different rhythm.

"Come, let's work together to capture him. We will do a great job when we go back. The emperor will reward me."

The fair-skinned man gestured to take action.

"snort!"

The man in gray suddenly snorted coldly and backed away suddenly.

Whether "No. 7" is a traitor or not is a matter for the future. Let's talk about escaping now.
