Chapter 7
In the north of the city, an alley near the Forbidden City was overcrowded at this time.

It can be vaguely seen that there is a tall horizontal plaque with five large characters written on it: "Handyman Recruitment Office!"

This is where the palace servants are recruited.

Many people think that in the palace, apart from the emperor and concubines, there are guards and eunuchs.

actually not.

There are also many people in the palace who are not eunuchs.For example: the imperial doctor, the chef of the imperial dining room, etc.

Especially the Imperial Dining Room, where there are a large number of people, and those who can enter it are all good cooks. They were invited by the royal family, and their cooking skills have to be passed down from generation to generation. How could they become eunuchs.

There are a lot of people in the palace, not only the Sangong and Sixth Courtyard, but also the eunuchs of various divisions. There are tens of thousands of people. The food for so many people cannot be handled by a few chefs.A large number of kitchen servants have to be recruited to help.

Here is the place to recruit handymen for the imperial dining room.

Being able to work in the palace is not only a reward, but also a supreme honor.

Therefore, whenever the palace recruits handymen, the place is overcrowded and the water can't get through.

At this time, in the crowd, a young man about fourteen or fifteen years old was sneaking around.

However, the alleys are overcrowded, where can they be crowded?

The young man failed to jump in the queue, and was almost kicked twice. He couldn't help complaining: "The master asked me to apply for the palace servant, but there are so many people, how can I get my turn!"

"Little treasure!"

At this time, a familiar voice came from the side.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Xiaobao felt his body lighten, and he was separated from the crowd.

"Brother Ye! It's you!" Wei Xiaobao was startled at first, then heaved a sigh of relief.

It was Ye Jun who came.

Yesterday, he got the inner strength method, but he couldn't practice it.So I can only make another plan.Then I thought, see if I can sneak into the palace, and go to the palace to find cheats and opportunities.

After all, there are countless treasures in the palace, so it is not surprising to have a few secret books on internal strength.Moreover, there are two internal masters in the palace, Hai Dafu and the Saintess of the Dragon Sect, so it may not be impossible to find a breakthrough.

So, he came here early in the morning just to wait for Wei Xiaobao.

In the movie, Wei Xiaobao was sent by Chen Jinnan to apply for a job as a handyman, so there was naturally someone who would respond.However, Wei Xiaobao went in and out by mistake, ran to the place where eunuchs were being recruited, and was almost castrated.

"Brother Ye, why are you here? Do you also want to enter the palace as a handyman?" Wei Xiaobao looked surprised.In his opinion, if Jun Ye is so good at kung fu, he should go wandering around the world and be a hero, and come to the palace to do chores?If Chen Jinnan hadn't forced him to come, Wei Xiaobao wouldn't have come.

"Yeah, I haven't been in the palace before, so I plan to go in and learn more." Ye Jun said with a smile, "I didn't expect to meet you, this is just right, let's go in together, and we can have someone to take care of inside!"

"Yeah!"

Wei Xiaobao smiled all over his face.He entered the palace with the task of narrowly dying, if he could get the help of Ye Jun, a great master, it would be his wish.

"However, there are too many people here, and I don't know how long the queue will last!" Wei Xiaobao complained immediately.

Ye Jun's eyes flickered slightly, and an inexplicable smile was drawn on the corner of his mouth. He pointed to the eunuch recruitment office not far away, and said, "That's also the place to apply for the job. Why don't you go and have a look. I'll line up here. Line up at the same time, so it will be faster!"

Wei Xiaobao looked in the direction, and sure enough, there was a recruiting place in the innermost part of the alley not far away, and there were only a few sporadic people queuing up.

Although Wei Xiaobao is clever, but after all he is only a young man, he couldn't hold back his temper and said: "That's great, I'll go over and ask, if there are also recruits there, we'll go there together!"

After all, he ran over there.

"Don't worry!"

Ye Jun stretched out his hand to grab it, pulled it back, and asked with a smile: "Your master asked you to apply for the job, there should be someone inside to answer it. You give me the token, or I won't be recognized at the front of the queue!"

"Yes, yes!" Wei Xiaobao took out a palm-sized wooden sign, stuffed it into Ye Jun's hand, and ran away without looking back.

Ye Jun carefully looked at the wooden sign in his hand, and saw a strange symbol engraved on it.He had seen this symbol at the Tiandihui last night, so he thought there was nothing wrong with it.

The reason why he was waiting for Wei Xiaobao here was because he wanted to borrow a token to enter the palace.Otherwise, how can it be so easy to apply for a palace servant?It is impossible to release the [-]th generation of your ancestors without checking.

Ye Jun held the wooden sign in his hand and squeezed in sideways.

Strange to say, the crowd that was originally congested in front of Ye Jun was like a stream of water and separated automatically. The people in front only felt a strange force coming, and their bodies fell to the side uncontrollably.

After a while, Ye Jun squeezed to the front of the crowd.

"What's the crowd? You can't just stand in the front and get in when you apply for a job here!"

Seeing that the crowd was suddenly chaotic and noisy, the manager of the recruitment office scolded with some dissatisfaction.

"Hehe, hello big brother, I was introduced by Mr. Chen, can you be more accommodating?"

Ye Jun flipped his palm and shook the token in front of the other party.

"It turned out that it was introduced by Mr. Chen, so it is one of our own. Come in!"

When the steward saw the token, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately opened the door with a smile and let him go.

"Why can he go in?"

"Yes, everyone is here to apply for the job!"

Behind him, someone was dissatisfied.

"Why are you arguing? Do you still want to apply for the job? If you keep arguing, you all get out!" The manager didn't have a good face towards other people, and mercilessly scolded.

Now, no one dares to complain.

The steward waved his hand, handed over the matter of recruitment to his subordinates, and quietly dragged Ye Jun to a remote corner.

"I am Chen Laoba of Qingmutang, this brother, I don't know what orders Mr. Chen has this time?"

"My name is Wei Xiaobao, and I am the new apprentice of Master Chen. I have a secret mission in the palace this time. The master ordered me to do things cheaply. I can't disclose it. Please forgive me, brother Chen." Ye Jun took Wei Xiaobao's token. , and unceremoniously borrowed Wei Xiaobao's identity.He said with a smile: "Although it is said that Brother Chen does not need to do this task, I still ask Brother Chen to take care of one or two in the palace, and don't let anyone hinder me from doing things!"

With that said, Ye Jun took out a large bag of silver and stuffed it into Chen Laoba's hand.

"We are all brothers...how is this possible!" Chen Laoba weighed subconsciously, but refused in his mouth.

Ye Jun said with a smile: "Brother Chen, you can accept it. This is for you to make some connections with the gang. No matter how you say it, it will be spent on the great cause of fighting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty!"

"That's right, that's right! It's all for anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty!" Chen Laoba smiled so that the corners of his mouth crooked, "Brother Wei, don't worry, once you enter the imperial dining room, you can do whatever you want? No one dares to control you !"

Ye Jun nodded slightly, knowing that it was the effect of the silver.As the saying goes, the king of Hades is easy to provoke, but the little ghost is difficult to deal with.After entering the palace, if he didn't pay a price, he might really be treated as a handyman, ordered to do that, where would he have the time to implement his plan?

On the other side, Wei Xiaobao entered the eunuch recruitment office by mistake. Just like in the plot, when he met Hai Dafu, he also entered the palace.
