Zhou Ying frowned because his body had a b.l.o.o.d.y aura when she saw him. There was an 80% chance he had taken someones life previously.

I know how to fight. Previously, Uncle Qi was afraid we would be bullied, so he taught us a set of fist techniques. The young man looked at Gu Chengrui and replied.

In other words, all of you know martial arts?

Yes, but some are good at it while others are average.

What did the uncle you mentioned do before? Will he come back?

What do you want? The young man looked at him warily and asked.

Nothing special. We want to recruit some guards for our place, but I dont know what your standards are.

Guards?

Yes, guards.

My uncle used to be an escort mercenary. After the disaster, he was trapped in the capital. Seeing that we were pitiful, he stayed behind to protect us.

Some time ago, he said that he had received a new escort mission, so he returned to his hometown with some people.

Gu Chengrui nodded thoughtfully and replied, I see. Do consider whether you want to continue being beggars or follow us.

The young boy nodded and took out a bag. After putting in a small amount of black flour, he said, Sorry to trouble you, but Ill give you a reply at this time, three days later.

Okay, but let me make it clear first. I only want someone with solid martial arts capabilities. After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he picked up the bag of flour and left with Zhou Ying.

After they were far away, Zhou Ying put away the bag and asked, Didnt you say that the situation in the capital is complicated? Arent you afraid of being cheated?

We cant give up eating because of fear of choking, right? That kid is a good seedling for practicing martial arts, so I want to try to recruit him.

Alright, you know what youre doing. However, I have to remind you that theres blood on his hands.

Are you sure?

Im sure.

It seems that we really have to investigate properly. Gu Chengrui nodded seriously.

The next morning, Mingyu came over. Seeing that Gu Wanning was fine, she hurriedly went to train her female soldiers.

Meanwhile, Yang Chenglin went back to the academy.

Zhou Ying returned the 50,000 taels of silver to Gu Wanning and said, Since youve moved out of the wolfs lair, you can hold on to the money for yourself.

Thank you, cousin-in-law. It just so happens that I want to buy a house for Chenglin.

Youve thought it through, but I think you should wait a little longer.

Otherwise, if Yang s.h.i.+cheng finds out that you have a lot of money in your hands, he might slander your reputation.

Moreover, Chenglin is still young and will be living in the academy most of the time. Its better to let him live here if he needs to for a few more years. When hes older, only then do we get him ready for adulthood.

Gu Wanning paused when she heard that. She nodded and replied, Youre right. Okay, Ill buy it only after I get married.

Yes, the most important thing now is to prepare the dowry.

Later, you can discuss with Mrs. Sun and draft a list. Your cousin and I will help you on this.

Thank you, cousin-in-law. If it wasnt for you two helping me, Im afraid I would have been in a terrible position.

We can help you for now, but we cant help you forever.

So, you must learn from this and mature as soon as possible.

After all, there are many things that we cant interfere with after you enter King Ruis residence. We might not be able to help you after that.

Gu Wanning nodded in agreement. I will. Theres still a long way to go in the future. Im sure Ill be independent as soon as possible.

The two of them chatted for a while more. Zhou Ying asked her to keep the silver notes, and the two went back to practice some more martial arts.

After two days, once Gu Chengrui was done with the matters here, the three brought Lin Yitian to their manor..
