The last time he spoke, the Emperor left Jiang Feng alone and went into the tent to talk while Yan Kuo and his entourage, led by his envoys, came to the Beijing Recruitment Hall to stay for the time being.

The guards led the five of them through several corridors and into the main hall of the Central District. The door of the hall was wide open. There were three golden words hung on the plaque that read "Recruitment Hall". There were eight guards standing at the door, with four on each side. The delicacies of the mountains and the sea on the table were all present, and a burst of fragrance drifted over from afar. The leader of the guards stepped forward and said respectfully, "Vice Sect Master and the four of you, please come in for a meal." Xu Yuan's stomach was already so hungry that he couldn't take it anymore. When he heard this, he didn't care about the others and rushed in first. He placed the pair of hammers by the door and casually took a seat. Yan Kuo saw this and did not say anything else. He could only shake his head helplessly and bring everyone in.

The area of the reception hall wasn't small either. At most, it could accommodate thirteen or fourteen large round tables at the same time. Two doors led into the inner hall, one on each side. The reception hall was exquisite and dignified. The royal family was magnificent. Li Mufan could not help but sigh, "The Royal Family's architecture is indeed peerless. I have never seen such a magnificent hall outside our walls." Gui Xue Rou walked to his side and lightly caressed her hair. She nodded slightly in agreement with his words. Everyone put down their weapons and sat at the table. They began to taste the delicacies that could not be eaten normally.

Although Gui Xueruo was usually lively and impulsive, she was still very ladylike when it came to eating. On the other hand, Xu Yuan was wolfing down his food like a reincarnated hungry ghost. No matter what he did, as long as he could fill his stomach, it would suffice. Seeing Xu Yuan's actions, Yue Xingchen patted him on the back and laughed, "Brother Xu, eat slower. We won't fight you for it." Xu Yuan smiled embarrassedly, then added another piece of meat into the bowl. Yan Kuo raised his wine cup, indicating for everyone to move. Everyone was truly full.

"At the end of the game, at the Pleasing Inn." Wow, Jiang Feng, it really is you! You've only been in the capital for less than a month, and you've already become the current emperor's most popular person. Now that you've become the head of the Beijing Recruitment Hall and even become your own mansion, I'm so impressed! " Wang Yi Xin said with a strange voice. Jiang Feng laughed foolishly and said, "You still have the nerve to say that I was nearly killed by you." Wang Yi Xin's face was filled with confusion as he asked, "Didn't the Emperor bestow you with the title of the head of the Beijing Recruitment Hall? Such a great thing, why are you saying that I've harmed you? Aren't you being a little too unreasonable? Jiang Feng said with a wry smile, "Do you remember the last time we met an old merchant on the streets of Beijing? You even stole his money bag." Wang Shouxin thought back for a moment and said in surprise, "I remember now. I was almost killed by that assassin. I won't forget that." Jiang Feng lightly nodded and said, "It's good that you remember. Let me tell you, that old merchant is the current Emperor." Wang Shouxin's mouth was agape. "It can't be?" Jiang Feng sighed and said, "It's true. Fortunately, the emperor didn't pursue this matter today. Otherwise, both of us would have lost our heads." Wang Yi Xin stuck out his tongue, his face was filled with fear and grievance, and said, "That day when I saw him, he was actually wearing luxurious and noble clothing, I just thought he was a rich merchant who suddenly made a fortune. Of course he wanted to rob the rich and help the poor. Besides, even if you look for me, I'm the one who lost my head, so nothing will happen to you. But then again, if it wasn't for the fact that my hand suddenly itched, you wouldn't have had the chance to save the emperor. I'm afraid you wouldn't have received the emperor's appreciation so quickly, so you should be grateful to me instead! " Hearing his words, Jiang Feng felt that it was reasonable, so he didn't refute him. A while later, Jiang Feng suddenly thought of something and asked, "Oh right, where is my burden?" Wang Yi Xin quickly walked to his bedside and placed the bundle in his hands. "Take a look and see if you're missing anything." Jiang Feng lightly tossed it in the air and said with a smile, "Many thanks!" He suddenly paused for a moment before continuing, "Wang Yi Xin, why don't you come with me to the Recruitment Hall?" At this moment, Wang Yixin unexpectedly shook his head and refused, "Forget it. With my little 'kung fu', there's no use in going." "Besides, the Emperor doesn't need people like me." Jiang Feng carried his backpack and patted his shoulder, saying: "Although you are always a little inept at doing things, at least you are still a robber of rich and poor." "What's more, I'm already the head. As long as I send you an invitation, you can naturally enter." Hearing his praise, Wang Yi Xin was extremely happy. He smiled and said, "I have known you for so long. Thank you for your kind intentions, but I still want to be free for a period of time. After a few days, when I'm tired of playing, I'll go to the Recruitment Hall to look for you. " Jiang Feng raised his Frost Iron Spear and nodded, saying seriously, "Fine, I'll go to the west side of the city to obtain your position. If you want to come, you're welcome to come anytime!" Wang Yixin extended his right hand and clapped Jiang Feng as he said, "It's a deal!"

Jiang Feng pushed open the door and walked slowly downstairs. Wang Yi Xin suddenly thought of something and called out, "Jiang Feng, Miss Fang came to see you this morning. She might have something to discuss with you." Jiang Feng turned around and replied, "I know, take care!" Following which, he made other gestures with his hands, and Wang Yi Xin returned the gesture. The owner of the inn quickly walked over and said with a smile, "Young Hero is indeed powerful, truly a young hero. You have made our store famous in the capital, and I will always keep your room for you. We will not charge you a single cent if you come back." Jiang Feng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your good intentions, Manager. I'll take my leave first!" The shopkeeper quickly said, "Young Hero, take care." After exiting the inn, Jiang Feng couldn't help but exclaim, "The world is cold and the people's hearts are like this!" After that, he changed back into his white horse and left the Elegant Lodge.

Within the Prime Minister's Estate, the father and son of the Liu clan were currently conversing in the inner hall. At this moment, Young Master Liu's expression was extremely solemn, giving off the feeling that no one would dare approach him. He said, "Father, this time the Emperor is planning to openly challenge you." Liu Shichen's gloomy face turned even more sinister as he sternly said, "It's fine, it's just a small recruitment hall, and it won't be able to create any big news in a short period of time. Do you think the emperor truly wants to use these bunch of martial arts hooligans? They are just using these people to oppose me and balance the influence of the martial arts world. Hmph! However, that Jiang Feng is still considered a talent, and this is the most unfortunate news for us. " Young Master Liu raised his head slightly. "Father, you should know that Bing Bing …" Liu Shichen waved his sleeves and interrupted, "Bing Bing has a soft spot for Jiang Feng. Father has long seen through this. Ruo Han, you have to think of a way to recruit him." Liu Gongzi frowned as he revealed a troubled expression, "Father, your son will naturally try his best to persuade him. But if he doesn't know what's good for him and insists on going against our Liu family by serving the emperor, what's wrong with that? " Liu Shichen's eyes were suddenly filled with killing intent as he said fiercely, "If he doesn't want to, we can't raise a tiger to cause trouble. We must strike first and kill him without mercy!" Liu Gongzi's worried expression suddenly increased and he said, "Father, then Bing Bing, she …" She will be very sad. Do you have the heart to see her sad? " Liu Shichen sighed and said, "Father is also worried about this, but our Liu Clan is a hegemony and we will not allow anyone to obstruct us." "So, you have to do your best to convince Jiang Feng." Young Master Liu nodded with a heavy heart. A haze rose in his heart and a depressing feeling came over him.

In the Lucky Inn, "Really? So you're saying that my father's life is temporarily not in danger?" Jiang Feng slowly said, "That's right. Since the Emperor personally said that he didn't mean to harm your father, then things will be much easier." Although he hadn't even seen his father's face yet, after hearing these words, the heavy burden in his heart was finally lifted. She lowered her head slightly and took a deep breath. It had been a long time since she had relaxed her nerves, and now she could finally relax for a while. She bowed and said, "Thank you, Big Brother Jiang. If it wasn't for your help, I don't know when I would have found out about my father, much less know if he was alive or dead." She paused and did not continue. Jiang Feng naturally knew what she wanted to say next and comforted her softly, "Miss Fang, I didn't actually do anything. Your father is a clean and honest man, and naturally, the emperor is wise. Rest assured, I will definitely do my best to save your father. " Fang Xinyao looked at him and said gratefully, "Big Brother Jiang, you have to be careful as well. Official swindlers are much more dangerous than martial arts." Jiang Feng shrugged his shoulders and smiled foolishly, "Thank you, Miss Fang. I will be more careful." Alright, it's getting late, I should also rush to the west side of the city to get my job. If there's anything you need, come find me at the Recruitment Hall. " Fang Xinyao opened the door to see him out and said, "Okay, I'll come over in a few days." Jiang Feng said, "Yes, I will keep a top-class guest room for you." Fang Xinyao nodded with satisfaction. Jiang Feng then said goodbye to her, left the city gate, and rode his horse straight to the west of the city.

Jiang Feng was riding on a white horse. Not far from the city gate, he saw a man in the distance. He wore a black and red jacket, and there seemed to be a protective armor underneath. Jiang Feng quickly reined in his white horse, and his expression became serious. He asked with slight surprise, "It's you?"

What about later?

And then we'll see how it breaks down in the next round.
