"So serious?" Zhang Tuohai asked pretending to be surprised.
"What do you think?" Manager Zhang looked around before saying, "That means you are Lao Qin's nephew. Let me remind you. I don't bother to tell others. What is Dongchang? They are the eyes and ears kept by the emperor.
, who specializes in investigating information, if they know that you are spreading rumors about the palace, will they spare you? So, if it is related to the palace, if you know it, just keep it in your stomach and don't say a word."

"This is the palace of the Prince of Qin, the residence of the prince. Is there someone from Dongchang here too?" Zhang Tuohai asked.
"Why not?" Manager Zhang said.
"Why didn't the last crown prince die? Wasn't he just criticized..." Manager Zhang said and stopped talking, "Forget it, it won't do any good if you know about this. Stop asking around. If you have nothing to do, go back.
Once you have mastered the postures of "Basic Boxing Technique" and "Basic Sword Technique", although the assessment is simple, you still need to practice."
Manager Zhang warned.
"Uncle Zhang, this is exactly why I came to you."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"What's wrong?"
"I have practiced both of them. This time I came here just to ask Uncle Zhang to find a familiar instructor to test them out."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"Have you practiced well? Did Lao Qin teach you in private?" Manager Zhang's eyes widened.
"Yeah." Zhang Tuohai nodded.
"Old Qin really values you." Manager Zhang gave Zhang Tuohai a thoughtful look.
"What's wrong? Is there any taboo about this?" Zhang Tuohai asked.
"That's not true. After all, it's just "Basic Boxing Techniques" and "Basic Sword Techniques". There's nothing secret about it. However, after all, I got this from the palace. It's definitely not good to teach it privately. The main reason is that no one checks it. If it's true,
Seriously, it's more or less a tail."
Manager Zhang said.
"Will that be a problem?" Zhang Tuohai was a little worried.
"It's not a big problem. Many people who recommend their nephews to take over work actually do this. The palace also knows that they usually turn a blind eye. Anyway, they are working for their own family, so it is a welfare. You
If you really know how to do it, don’t hide it, after all, Kung Fu is directly linked to your salary in Prince Qin’s Mansion.”
"If you really make up your mind, just come with me. There happens to be an acquaintance on duty today."
Manager Zhang said as he led Zhang Tuohai to the cross-yard.
The courtyard is paved with yellow sand, and there are stone pillars, stone locks, and sword and gun racks in the corners.
Several coaches were sitting around a table under the eaves, drinking tea and chatting.
"Where is Coach Lin?"
Manager Zhang shouted loudly.
A man with a leopard head and ringed eyes stood up.
"Manager Zhang, is there something wrong?"
"It's nothing. My nephew is almost done with boxing and kicking. I'll show him to Coach Lin."
Manager Zhang said with a smile.
"Oh, I understand. This is my nephew, let's practice boxing and kicking first."
Coach Lin knew what Manager Zhang meant as soon as he heard this. In fact, this is also an unspoken rule here. After all, the sedan chair is carried by everyone, and everyone is eating and drinking in Prince Qin's mansion, so they will naturally help each other within the rules.
If Zhang Tuohai comes today, apart from anything else, you must be filial to get started. Otherwise, you won't even be given a chance to try, and you'll just be dismissed if you can't even make a single move and practice again.
Moreover, in order to prevent servants from trying every day, the Qin Palace specially made a rule that if you fail the assessment, you cannot take the assessment again within three months.
The losses on the books here are huge.
Therefore, no servant who comes here dares not to show filial piety.
However, Zhang Tuohai has Manager Zhang to lead the way, and he is one of his own, so he can naturally avoid the customs.
"Please give me some advice from Coach Lin."
Zhang Tuohai stood still in the field and practiced according to the steps of "Basic Boxing".
The whole set of movements is smooth and smooth, without any rustiness. The movements are vigorous and vigorous, and you can see that you have put in hard work.
Even though Coach Lin is the one who specializes in assessment, he can’t find any faults.
"That's right, that's right. It seems that my nephew has practiced hard and can be given a first-class rating in this category."
Coach Lin turned to Manager Zhang and said, "Manager Zhang, your nephew is quite talented in boxing and kicking."
"Thank you very much, Coach Lin, for your kindness."
Manager Zhang responded.
In fact, Manager Zhang was surprised when he saw Zhang Tuohai's boxing skills. He originally thought that Zhang Tuohai was just proficient, but he didn't expect that this set of basic boxing skills was more solid and proficient than his own, which really made him proud.

"Is it possible that Lao Qin's nephew still has some talent for martial arts?"
Manager Zhang thought to himself.
"Go pick out a weapon and try it out."
Coach Lin pointed to the knife and gun rack in the corner.
Zhang Tuohai walked over, picked up a Yanling knife, and practiced according to the "Basic Sword Techniques".
Although his basic sword skills are not as high as those of his basic boxing skills, they have reached a level of moderate success. Not to mention his proficiency, there will definitely be no problem in passing the assessment.
"Although it's not as good as boxing, it can still be rated as second-class." Coach Lin nodded.
"The last item is to test your strength. The most fundamental thing for martial arts practitioners is physical strength. You can find a stone lock, as long as you can lift it and walk around the yard."
Zhang Tuohai took a look at the stone locks.
This is much larger than the one in Manager Zhang’s yard.
This time he wanted to get closer to King Qin, so he naturally had to behave well.
Zhang Tuohai picked a stone lock that was two sizes larger than the assessment standard, and with a strong force, he lifted the stone lock up.
This stone lock weighs four to five hundred kilograms, which is very heavy.
Ordinary people may not even be able to lift it, even move it.
But Zhang Tuohai actually lifted it up directly.
"My good nephew is actually born with supernatural powers. He is a good young man who can practice martial arts."
Coach Lin's eyes shone brightly and he said to Manager Zhang.
Manager Zhang’s eyes widened.
He didn't expect that Zhang Tuohai was so strong that he directly lifted the stone lock for the intermediate assessment.
You know, that's the standard for joining the Guard.
Three meals of meat a day, and the salary package is much better than those of the handymen.
In terms of status, he is half a head higher than the stewards like him.
"Old Qin, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave."
Manager Zhang thought to himself.
"If he joins the crown prince's guard, it will be of great benefit to me. Maybe I can take the opportunity to take a step forward."
Zhang Tuohai raised the stone lock and started walking around the yard.
Lifting heavy objects and walking is not a simple matter. It not only requires strength and physical strength, but also requires body control and balance, both of which are indispensable.
Zhang Tuohai has rich experience, so this entrance examination will naturally not be a problem for him.
I walked around steadily and put the stone lock back to its original place.
After a lap, my face was just a little red and my forehead was sweating a little.
"What a natural divine power!"
Coach Lin laughed loudly and took Zhang Tuohai's hand: "Xiannephew, are you interested in participating in the assessment of the crown prince's guard?"
