His Majesty is plotting a rebellion? Quickly, summon the Imperial Advisor!

The area in front of the Red Eagle Escort Agency was packed with people.

Countless bodyguards came to apply, and of course, there were also quite a few people who came to watch the spectacle.

Most people didn't believe that the already dilapidated Red Eagle Escort Agency could pay such a high fee.

They were all just there to watch the excitement.

Inside the escort agency, countless escorts had come to apply for selection. Zhao Xiaodao assessed these escorts according to the traditional methods of the Red Eagle Escort Agency.

The first item, naturally, is martial arts proficiency.

This single criterion eliminated most of the bodyguards.

The second item is the assessment of character.

Observe their words and actions to discern their character and disposition.

Another portion was filtered out.

The third item is the assessment of life skills.

Escorts often live a life of adventure, and mere martial prowess isn't enough; they also need to be skilled at starting fires, cooking, negotiating prices, and even possess eloquence and the ability to read faces…

These are the most important things.

Ten people were finally selected, and then came the most anticipated moment.

In front of everyone, Zhao Xiaodao kept his promise and gave each of the ten people ten taels of silver.

He immediately spent a full hundred taels!

"My God, it's actually true! Has the Red Eagle Escort Agency become rich?"

"Ten taels right in! Damn, I've been a bodyguard for a year and I've never saved up that much silver. I should have applied for the job earlier!"

"I want to apply for the job!"

"I want to apply! I...I'm a silver-ranked bodyguard from a far cry from the镖局 (镖局 is a type of security escort agency), I want to apply! I'm a silver-ranked bodyguard!"

……

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

And in that bustling atmosphere.

Zhao Xiaodao had the gate closed and posted a notice: Red Eagle Escort Agency will be recruiting again soon. If you are interested, please pay attention to the notice board.

He then ignored the crazed bodyguards.

The ten escorts who were successfully selected also felt that happiness had come too suddenly.

I felt a sense of euphoria.

They originally came just to try their luck, but unexpectedly, it actually worked.

The ten taels of silver lay heavy in my hand. It was as if I had just woken from a dream.

“Boss Zhao, please feel free to give us any instructions. We’ve received such a generous reward, so we naturally have to do something worthwhile, otherwise we won’t feel at ease.”

One person clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhao Xiaodao.

"Hehe. Gentlemen, from now on we will be working together on official business, so I hope we can get along well."

"However... you're wrong about one thing."

"That means I'm not your boss."

Zhao Xiaodao returned the gesture with a fist salute.

"You're not the boss? Wasn't the Red Eagle Escort Agency founded by your father, Zhao Dadao?" The other person was taken aback.

"Yes, but someone bought it less than a quarter of an hour ago."

"The ten taels of silver in your hands came from that lord."

Zhao Xiaodao told the truth.

As he spoke, his gaze unconsciously drifted toward the room on the east side.

That gentleman just went into that room to rest.

"Xiao Dao, gather all the bodyguards from the Red Eagle Escort Agency."

"Then bring him to see me in the inner courtyard."

At that moment, a light, airy voice came from the room on the east side.

The inner courtyard of the Red Eagle Escort Agency is located on the east side and is connected to the rooms on the east side.

"Yes! Sir."

Zhao Xiaodao nodded solemnly.

"Brother Dao, who is your boss? He's acting all mysterious."

someone asked.

Zhao Xiaodao opened his mouth to speak, but after a long pause, he found himself at a loss for words. "You'll find out when the time comes," he said.

"However... you'd better be mentally prepared."

A lean bodyguard with a slightly protruding mouth interjected, "Does he look extremely ugly?"

"Uh...it is indeed very extreme, extremely extreme." After saying this, Zhao Xiaodao went to gather the old bodyguards.

It will take a while.

There were twenty-three bodyguards standing in the front yard. Apart from the ten bodyguards who had just been selected, the other thirteen were veteran bodyguards from the Red Eagle Escort Agency, most of them middle-aged.

Among the veteran bodyguards, there were eight bronze medalists and five silver medalists.

This lineup is indeed rather meager.

Zhao Xiaodao led the twenty-three people in an orderly line, through the room on the east side, and into the spacious inner courtyard.

Xu Bing sat in the armchair, leaning back lazily with his eyes half-closed.

Once the twenty-three men were lined up neatly in front of him, Zhao Xiaodao called out softly, "Sir, the men are all here."

Xu Bing then raised his head, his gaze sweeping over each of the bodyguards.

In that instant, the bodyguards also saw Xu Bing's true face.

"That's... really fucking extreme."

The bodyguards present quickly understood why Zhao Xiaodao had hesitated to speak.

As for this gentleman's appearance, they indeed found it difficult to describe it clearly in words.

"Strange, I've never heard of such a person in Da Xi."

"Of the ten extraordinary young masters in the martial arts world, I have seen two of them and thought they were unparalleled beauties. But after meeting you, sir, I realized that they are nothing special."

The bodyguards were all talking about it.

This world is wonderful.

There are immortals on the mountain.

There is a temple at the foot of the mountain.

There is a world of martial arts and chivalry outside the imperial court.

Each has its own unique charm; they may seem to have no connection, but they are always intricately linked.

This was a time of chaos, a time when many talented people emerged in the martial arts world, and countless legends arose.

Escorts... are people who often roam the martial arts world.

"My lord," the crowd cried out in unison, kneeling on one knee.

“No need for that.” Xu Bing raised an eyebrow, rubbed his temples, and stood up from the armchair. “Just call me boss.”

His aura was too obvious. The intimidating presence he exuded made the other bodyguards unconsciously call him "Sir".

However... in the final analysis...

Xu Bing is currently just their boss, not an adult. Public and private matters still need to be clearly separated.

"Very good. From today onwards, you are all part of the Red Eagle Escort Agency."

Xu Bing said, "I have called you here because there are some unpleasant things I need to tell you beforehand."

"Once you join my Red Eagle Escort Agency, you belong solely to my Red Eagle Escort Agency. If you are elsewhere and have any other guests, retainers, or other miscellaneous duties, you will have to make a choice about whether to stay or leave."

quite a while.

One of them replied, "I'm sorry, sir... I think I'll have to leave."

Xu Bing gestured for him to proceed.

The man struggled with his expression, put down the silver in his hand, and turned to leave the Red Eagle Escort Agency.

"You don't need to leave the silver. What I said I would give you is what I gave you." Xu Bing waved his hand gently.

The silver that the man had just put down flew back into his hand automatically.

Upon witnessing this miraculous scene, the pupils of all the bodyguards contracted.

The man took the silver, his expression complex, and finally left the Red Eagle Escort Agency with a resolute heart.

Looking at the tightly locked vermilion gate of the Red Eagle Escort Agency, and feeling the heavy silver in his hand.

In that instant.

He felt a sense of emptiness, as if he had missed something.

Even though he had received a tael of silver for nothing, he couldn't be happy at all.

"Right or wrong," he muttered to himself, disappearing at the end of the street.

And at this time.

The inner courtyard of the Red Eagle Escort Agency.

Xu Bing was still waiting for them to make a decision.

Finally, another person chose to leave.

The person who left was not only a bodyguard, but also had a name on several martial arts schools.

He was doing quite well every month, so there was no reason for him to give up his original life for the uncertain Red Eagle Escort Agency.

Consider this ten taels of silver as a windfall.

Ultimately, the Red Eagle Escort Agency's fate was sealed.

There were a total of twenty-one bodyguards.

Five silver darts, sixteen bronze darts.

Xu Bing sat back in his armchair and looked at the crowd below.

This is the core team of his security escort agency.
