"Are you selecting retainers? I think you are selecting generals." Wen Yan glared at Ren Hao and asked him to remove the arena before the emperor knew about it.

If someone went to the emperor to complain, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.

"The stage has already been set up, there's no reason to remove it."

"As for those who want to go to the emperor to file a complaint, they can just go ahead and file a complaint."

"I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will not blame me and will understand me." Ren Hao said to Wen Yan.

"What do you want the emperor to understand about you?"

"I understand that you want to rebel." Wen Yan gave Ren Hao a displeased look.

Ren Hao then said to Wen Yan: "It's not that you understand my rebellion, but that you understand my personal safety."

Ren Hao told the whole story of how he was assassinated by the Japanese shadowman.

"This is the capital city. How could the Japanese shadowmen infiltrate here?" Wen Yan didn't believe it at all.

But in order to make Wen Yan more convinced, Ren Hao also showed him the hidden weapon left behind by the Shadow.

Now the evidence was conclusive and Wen Yan had no choice but to believe it.

"Wen Yan, go back and report this to your brother, the emperor, and ask him to investigate who is so bold as to allow the dog Japanese shadow master to enter the capital."

"The assassination attempt on me is a small matter, but the reputation of your royal family is more important." On the surface, Ren Hao's call showed his concern for the royal family's reputation, but in fact he was implying that the security in the capital was like a decoration, and that the Japanese shadowy figures could actually infiltrate the emperor's feet.

If this shadow person could infiltrate, let alone whether there are spies from other countries in the capital or the court.

"I will tell my brother about this after I go back and ask him to investigate it thoroughly. But as for your personal safety, should I ask my brother to send some imperial guards to protect you?" Wen Yan nodded, knowing the seriousness of the matter.

"No need to go through so much trouble. It will be enough for me to recruit a few followers." Ren Hao waved his hand and did not agree.

Sending the imperial guards to protect me is just a disguised way of keeping me under surveillance.

What's more, Su Ergou, who had escaped from the recruitment, was still hiding in his own mansion.

Seeing Ren Hao's decisive refusal, Wen Yan deliberately tested him, "I just asked my elder brother to send a few imperial guards to protect your safety. Do you have to refuse so decisively? Have you done something shameful? Don't you want my elder brother to know?"

"What are you thinking? How could I possibly do anything to let your brother down?"

"I just don't want to trouble your elder brother. If you suspect that I have done something to let your elder brother down, you can come to my house to check at any time." Ren Hao smiled carelessly, stretched his hand into the door, made a gesture of invitation, and directly started the empty city plan.

Seeing how calm Ren Hao was, Wen Yan realized that if she hadn't had the report from her informant, she would have been fooled by Ren Hao.

However, she did not expose it. She just laughed and warned Ren Hao not to let her elder brother down.

"Your elder brother has been very kind to me, how could I let him down?" Ren Hao nodded repeatedly, acting as if he could rest assured.

"In that case, I won't disturb your fundraising." Wen Yan nodded and prepared to leave.

"Don't you want to stay and have a drink and watch the competition together?" Ren Hao tried to persuade him to stay.

"I can drink some wine with you, but what's so good about this so-called competition?" Wen Yan shook his head without interest. This so-called competition was nothing more than a bunch of ruffians showing off their violence.

"There's an old saying in our village. It's called 'appreciation by both the refined and the popular.'"

"Maybe, this will be unexpectedly wonderful." Ren Hao retorted disagreeingly.

"Since you are so sure, I will accompany you to take a look." Wen Yan sat on the steps with Ren Hao.

"Cai Lun, go get some wine and cakes. I want to entertain this Master Wen." Ren Hao looked at Cai Lun who was waiting nearby.

Cai Lun quickly agreed and went back to his house to prepare wine, drinks and cakes.

"Master Wen, Master Ren, how are you?"

At this moment, Li Shiji came over with his guard Liang Hao.

"Mr. Li, what brings you here today?"

"Please take a seat." Ren Hao stood up enthusiastically and invited Li Shiji to sit on the steps beside the table.

"I was just strolling around and heard from passers-by that you were setting up a competition to recruit customers, so I wanted to come and join in the fun."

"It's a good opportunity for me to ask you for two cups of Maotai." Li Shiji said as he sat down.

"You came at the right time. Master Wen and I haven't had the chance to drink yet." Ren Hao smiled and picked up the wine pot to pour Li Shiji a glass of Maotai.

"Humph."

Liang Hao, who was standing next to Li Shiji, suddenly snorted and laughed, with a look of disdain on his face.

"Guard Liang, what are you laughing at?" Ren Hao asked in confusion.

"I'm laughing at them. They are just traitors." Liang Hao pointed at the common people in Beijing who were preparing to compete. None of them caught his eye.

Among these people there were butchers, craftsmen, lazy men, and idle ruffians.

In short, none of these people can fight.

"You are so arrogant. If you have the guts, would you please come and compete with us?" Everyone glared at Liang Hao.

"Grandpa can knock you down with just one hand." Liang Hao clenched his sandbag-sized fist proudly, not taking these people seriously at all.

Seeing Liang Hao was so eager to try, Li Shiji suggested to Ren Hao: "Mr. Ren, how about I let Guard Liang come up to the ring to help you?"

"If your guard Liang hadn't meant to make a sarcastic remark just now, I wouldn't have hurt him to go up and help me check."

"But he spoke so arrogantly just now. I'm afraid there is a master hiding in there. He will be embarrassed later." Ren Hao shook his head and disagreed. If something went wrong with Liang Hao in the ring, he would be blamed.

"Humph, am I the one who can't save face, or will you be the one who can't save face when the time comes?" Liang Hao sneered, not taking Ren Hao's words seriously.

Seeing that Liang Hao was so stubborn and wanted to die, Ren Hao followed Liang Hao.

"Be gentle." Li Shiji warned.

Liang Hao nodded and jumped onto the stage. Han, still extremely arrogant, said: "If you are not afraid of death, come up. Grandpa is itching to do something right now."

"Why are you pretending!!!"

Seeing Liang Hao being so arrogant, everyone rushed forward.

"Fuck, you guys have no moral principles. What was agreed to be a one-on-one fight turned into a group fight!!!" Liang Hao was stunned.

"Guard Liang, I forgot to tell you that this competition is a free-for-all, not a one-on-one contest." Ren Hao shouted to Liang Hao.

"Fuck you, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Liang Hao cursed, feeling that Ren Hao was deliberately trying to trick him.
