At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

"How long are you going to look there?" Eryuki turned her head and looked out the window.

The man in black hiding outside the window took out a diamond-shaped hidden weapon from his arms and threw it at Eriyuki in the house.

Faced with the hidden weapon that came through the window, Eryuki easily dodged it with just a flash of her body.

When the man in black saw how skilled Erika was, he immediately jumped onto the roof and tried to escape.

But Eryuki didn't give him any chance at all. She jumped out of the window and kicked him down.

"Shadow?"

"You are Japanese." Eriyuki suddenly frowned.

The shadow reached towards his bosom with his right hand, but Eryuki showed no mercy and pierced the shadow's dishonest right palm with a sword.

"My master has no grudges against you Shadows. Why do you want to attack him?" Eriyuki asked as she stepped on the Shadow.

Instead of answering the question, the Shadow bit the poison hidden in his teeth and committed suicide.

Seeing that the shadow was dead, Eriyuki had no choice but to give up and go back to her room to wake up Ren Hao.

"What happened to me just now?" Ren Hao woke up dazed and felt a dizzy pain in his head.

"Master, you just fainted because of the Shadow's fragrance." Eryuki explained.

He could understand the incense, but what was this shadow?

He had only heard of ninjas in modern times before.

"Shadows are the lower class retainers of the Japanese island. They are not very powerful themselves but are proficient in assassination."

"I originally thought that the Shadows were only active in the ancient Wu of the Wo Island, but I didn't expect that they were also roaming around in the Central Plains." Eriyuki explained to Ren Hao.

"Is that so?" Ren Hao nodded as if he understood roughly what was going on. Eriyuki then asked if Ren Hao had offended anyone before. How could the other party be so despicable as to send a shadowman to assassinate him?

"This..." Ren Hao hesitated for a moment, but still said the answer in his mind.

Zhao Ping'an had recommended Chen Fei, Zhang Kuai and Wu Chu to the emperor to go to the war. As soon as these three men left, someone came to assassinate him.

This is definitely Zhao Ping'an's doing.

But unfortunately, even if he knew that all this was Zhao Ping'an's doing, he had no substantial evidence and could not do anything to Zhao Ping'an.

"Master, please deal with the body. I'll go outside and take a look to see if there are any remaining shadows." Eriyuki gave instructions and left the study.

The remaining two shadows hiding in the dark saw that their two companions had died at the hands of Eryuki. They just looked at each other, made some gestures, and disappeared into the darkness.

Originally they planned to kidnap Ren Hao first and then kidnap Chen He.

But now, a female devil in white suddenly appeared halfway through, and all the plans were disrupted.

It was said that there were three masters in Ren Hao’s mansion, so how come another one suddenly appeared?

This is different from the previous survey.

Du Yilong, who was waiting at the Zhao residence at this time, saw that only two of the four brothers had returned.

He suddenly felt something was wrong and asked, "Where are the fourth and fifth brothers?"

One of the shadows used hand gestures to tell Du Yilong everything that had happened in the mansion.

"What do you mean there are more powerful masters? How did Lao Wu investigate back then?" Du Yilong's brows were twisted into a knot. This trip was a loss of both the wife and the army. Not only did he not tie up the person, but he also lost two brothers.

Just when Du Yilong was secretly sighing that there were many hidden talents in the Central Plains, Zhao Ping'an came over and asked, "Where is the person I want? Why can't I see Ren Hao?"

"Prime Minister Zhao, my brother's intelligence is wrong. Ren Hao's mansion has not only three masters, but also a top swordsman."

"I have five brothers, and I have lost two of them."

Du Yilong sighed and almost made Zhao Ping'an's nose crooked with anger.

Can he resolve the matter by saying that there is one more expert by Ren Hao's side?

He put in a lot of effort to transfer the three masters around Ren Hao away.

But now Ren Hao did not kill him, and allowed his three followers to join the army.

This is simply paving the way for Ren Hao.

Zhao Ping'an suddenly felt like he was the biggest fool in the world, shooting himself in the foot.

"Damn it, you Japanese dogs are a bunch of good-for-nothings, get out of here!!!" Zhao Ping'an was so angry that he cursed.

Du Yilong looked unhappy, but he still had to compromise and said, "Prime Minister Zhao, although your mission is not completed, can you please let us stay for a few more days to complete the mission assigned by the master, considering that we have lost two brothers?"

"What does the task your master gave you have to do with me? If you don't get out of here, I will call the imperial guards to arrest you." Zhao Ping'an pointed to the gate, not wanting to let them stay for even a minute.

Seeing that Zhao Ping'an was so ruthless and ungrateful, Du Yilong had no choice but to give up and lead the remaining two brothers away.

Zhao Ping'an looked at the group of Japanese dogs leaving and already had the intention to kill them.

Originally, he planned to use them and then kill them, but unfortunately they did not help him complete the task.

"Butler." Zhao Ping'an called out.

"What do you want, Prime Minister Zhao?" Butler Zhao hurried over.

"Ride your horse to find Zhu Shihao before that group of Japanese dogs arrive, ask him to deal with them, and warn him not to employ these dogs as his retainers in the future." Zhao Ping'an instructed.

"Yes." Butler Zhao nodded without asking any more questions and did as Zhao Ping'an said.

And Zhao Ping'an was not trying to kill them all because he wanted to leave any evidence behind.

……

The next morning, a call for submissions was made at the South Gate.

When the people in the capital heard about the Ren Mansion recruiting retainers and the previous news of the school recruiting, they all rushed to the Ren Mansion as soon as possible and surrounded the gate of the Ren Mansion.

They were not responding to the teacher's or students' requests, but to the retainers of the Ren Mansion.

The reason why they responded so enthusiastically was because of the three taels of Maozi served with each meal.

Faced with so many people seeking responses, Ren Hao didn't want to bother questioning them one by one, so he simply had someone set up a stage outside the mansion.

There are three rounds of competition in the ring.

There is no limit on the number of masters in each round, and the total time limit is three incense sticks.

The person who can win the fight and stand till the end will be the winner.

"Master, isn't this a bit too much?" Cai Lun always felt that something was wrong. What was this so-called martial arts competition? Wasn't it just letting a group of people go up and fight each other?

"There's nothing wrong with this. I used to see this kind of competitions." Ren Hao waved his hand nonchalantly. Just as he was about to ask Cai Lun to light incense, a burst of scolding exploded from the crowd: "Ren Hao, do you want to rebel? You actually gathered so many people from the capital at the door!!!"

"Why am I so unlucky?" Ren Hao curled his lips when he heard this person's voice. The person who scolded him was none other than Wen Yan who had sneaked out of the palace.

Seeing Wen Yan putting a big accusation on him, Ren Hao quickly explained: "If I really wanted to rebel, would I have to make such a big scene? I just selected a few followers."
