Chapter 315: Chance of Survival

The eldest grandson of Old Master Zhou was nearly 50 now. He was an idle official who married the Third Princess of the late Emperor.

She was also Princess Xingmo’s younger sister.

Although the late Emperor’s Third Princess was not born of Consort Dowager Jiang, she could be considered the daughter raised by Consort Dowager Jiang.

Due to Princess Xingmo’s disappearance, Consort Dowager Jiang doted on this Third Princess very much. Even she, who did not understand the royal family, knew that this Third Princess was extremely favored.

This week, the Prince Consort had a younger sister who entered the royal family and gave birth to a royal daughter for the current Emperor.

It could be said that royal relatives were infinitely honored.

Now, the problem was grave.

This ghoul had run to the Zhou Residence. Clearly, something was not right. Could it be that she had discovered some shocking case?!

Xie Qiao was timid and quickly retreated.

When she returned home, she was still somewhat bewildered.

She was carrying too many tiny secrets, and now, she still had the world map of the Baili family hidden in her hands. That thing had not even been used yet, and now, she actually obtained… a big piece of news.

Xie Qiao was a little listless.

If she knew too much, would she die faster?

It was just that she had only taken a look outside, so she was not sure if the ghoul’s body was actually inside the Zhou Residence. Even if it was, she still had to know the exact location.

Recently, did the Zhou family… hold any grand banquets?

Xie Qiao narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment.

She had already captured Princess Xingmo’s soul. There were some things that needed to be investigated clearly.

After all, no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still a life. It was duty-bound to work for a ghoul!

She did not know much about the Zhou family. Now, she would find someone to get him to ask around.

When Xie Niushan returned home, Xie Qiao told him about recruiting a soldier outside the city.

Recruiting soldiers was different from paying to become officials. As a general, Xie Niushan was qualified to choose some people to enter the military camp. Moreover, the person chosen was just a new recruit. The recruitment process would go through the normal recruitment requirements, so there was no problem.

This was also related to the bet between Xie Qiao and Xia Yayun. Xie Niushan was very attentive to it.

The next morning, he brought his subordinates to take a look outside the city.

Xie Niushan was not a person who cared about trifles. Since he was already here, how could he only bring one person with him?

Moreover, there were many disaster victims outside the city who had no family or relatives. They might as well recruit on the spot. The requirements were also written down. They had to write down the three generations of their ancestors clearly. Their family background had to be clean. In addition, their height and strength also needed to be checked.

Inside the military camp, they had to suffer. If their bodies were weak, they would naturally fail.

There were not many of these disaster victims who qualified.

However, Lu Lin was one of them.

Xie Niushan’s open and aboveboard recruitment method surprised Lu Lin, and his poor self-esteem was somewhat appeased.

However, this appeasement did not last long.

Xie Niushan brought a few recruits back to the barracks and directly called a hundred-man general.

“These kids are too skinny. Remember to give them extra meals. Every meal must be for two people, and the food will be deducted from the army’s salary! If they can’t finish it…” Xie Niushan smirked faintly, “Then they are not hungry or tired enough. Train harder! Especially him.”

He pointed at Lu Lin.

Lu Lin shivered.

He had some hesitating thoughts earlier, but now that he felt Xie Niushan’s majesty, all that was left in his mind was the thought of saving his life.

Xie Niushan was indeed as terrifying as the rumors said!

At that moment, the hard days had finally come!

Xie Niushan’s training was the hardest. Lu Lin, who was named by him to take good care of, was naturally under several times the pressure compared to the rest!

However, Lu Lin could not resent Xie Niushan.

It was because Xie Niushan… was especially “good” to him!

He was so good that after every day of training, he would even specially call him over to teach him martial arts!

Lu Lin was not a fool. He was currently in the military camp. The more he learned, the greater his chances of survival in the future!
