Niu Youdao couldn't help laughing. Ｅ┡Ｗｗ
Yuan Gang actually saw the 'sense of belonging' in the bear demon's expression, the sense of belonging that everyone was a demon. He wanted to punch the bear demon in the face, and asked lightly: "Do you know that the bear is a demon?" How did you die?"
"Uh..." Yuanfang asked cautiously with fear and suspicion, "How did you die?"
Yuan Gang nuzzled his lips towards Niu Youdao, "He is a cow!"
"Cow..." Yuanfang was stunned for a moment, then stared and exclaimed: "Cow?"
Niu Youdao chuckled, turned around and left with his hands behind his back.
Yuan Gang also abandoned Yuan Fang and followed him out. After a few steps to catch up with Niu Youdao, he asked: "Master Dao, this goblin seems to be a bit confused. Do you really want to accept him?"
In his previous life, Master Dao also had many brothers. It was common for him to recruit people who admired him, and Yuan Gang was not the first to see them.
Niu Youdao chuckled, "You are mistaken. This is a flexible guy who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger. It's just that he doesn't have much knowledge and lacks some experience in the world, so he fell into the hands of Song Yanqing. Song Yanqing is an arrogant person. , Do you believe it or not, if Song Yanqing stays in Nanshan Temple for a longer time, once he is paralyzed and relaxes his vigilance, he will most likely be killed by this goblin without us having to do anything!"
Yuan Gang was surprised, "Why do you see it?"
Niu Youdao chuckled and said: "If you think about it carefully, if you don't say anything else, those twenty or so monks could have taken the opportunity to escape safely, but under such circumstances, they were still willing to take the risk and follow him... It seems that they were killed by Song Yanqing and the others before. A few people, people's hearts are the most unpredictable, not to mention a group of monks who dare to take advantage of others. How can it be easy to win over dozens of people who still look so stupid? This alone shows it! He is not as unbearable as you think. , the foundation is still good, at most, there are some problems with the outlook on life and values, and he is a malleable talent. If you want to win the heart of such a person, it is useless to just be nice to him. Just one sentence and convince him! You can spare more time Tune it up."
Yuan Gang was silent when he heard this, with a thoughtful look on his face. He immediately turned around and turned back, bumping into Yuan Fang who had just walked out of the house. Without saying a word, he kicked him out.
Boom! Yuanfang, who was kicked in the middle of the chest, flew back.
Yuan Gang rushed in, punched, kicked, kneed and elbowed, and beat him wildly!
Inside the house, Yuanfang screamed and begged for mercy.
After the screams finally stopped, Yuan Gang walked out expressionlessly, ignoring the surprised guards nearby, pulled up his clothes, and strode away.
After a while, a limping Yuan Fang also came out, with a bruised nose and swollen face, wiping a nosebleed, and his face was twitching in pain. He was beaten for no apparent reason. He wasn't even given an explanation. He was beaten inexplicably...
In the garden of the Prefect's Mansion, it was quiet. Feng Lingbo looked up at the bright moon in the night sky with his hands behind his hands. There was sadness in his expression. He felt complicated at the thought of marrying off his daughter like this.
Peng Yulan walked gently, and a cloak was gently draped on his shoulders.
Although the spring is strong, the cold dew at night is still there. Her husband is not a monk and is not suitable to resist the cold air. Not only her husband, but none of her three children's physiques were suitable for cultivation. Otherwise, she could have been recommended to Tianyu Sect based on her background, which made her feel somewhat helpless. However, there is no way. The meridians structure of each person is somewhat different. After all, there are only a few people who are suitable for cultivation.
Feng Lingbo looked back and smiled slightly.
Peng Yulan casually handed him a piece of tissue paper, "My father has sent news. After internal discussion, Tianyumen agreed to this matter. I am worried that you will not have enough manpower after you send people to Cangwu County, so we have urgently transferred People are coming."
Under normal circumstances, Tianyumen's manpower cannot be all piled up in Guangxi County. Tianyumen has other spheres of influence to take into account. In addition to being guards, some of the people stationed here by Tianyumen are responsible for the daily collection of spiritual herbs. The spiritual herbs collected by the people in Quang Ngai County are handed over to these people in exchange for money and food, and the spiritual herbs collected here are After that, they have to be sent to Tianyumen, who will refine the elixirs for cultivation or do business in the cultivation world.
In fact, all the major sects of cultivation do this after dividing their spheres of influence. The world is huge, and things like spiritual herbs are not available everywhere. If the disciples of the sect travel all over the mountains and rivers to search and collect them, The efficiency may not be that high. You can't find this thing just by running fast. After all, the manpower in the sect is limited. What's more, if practitioners focus on finding spiritual herbs, it will delay their cultivation. .
Of course, the so-called cultivation resources not only refer to the spiritual herbs that can be collected after delineating the sphere of influence, but also money and food.
If you want to practice effectively, you must have a wealthy partner. If you don't have your own sphere of influence, how can you easily borrow things from other people's territory
Feng Lingbo took the paper and read it under the moonlight, then silently crumpled the paper in his palms. The result was as expected. After a long time, he sighed and said, "You can go and try to persuade Ruonan!"
"Yeah!" Peng Yulan nodded slightly.
At this moment, the steward Shou Nian strode over and saluted the two of them.
Feng Lingbo asked: "How is it?"
Shounian said: "It has been settled. I should come over to see the master tomorrow."
Feng Lingbo nodded and said he understood. Peng Yulan expressed concern, "How about that Shang Dynasty clan leader?"
Shounian said: "He has a handsome appearance and is quite manly!"
Peng Yulan said oh, somewhat relieved, but she was also worried. Can she like her own daughter with her good looks? It's not that he's worried that Shang Chaozong won't marry his daughter, but Shang Chaozong doesn't dare to marry her, it's that he's afraid that Shang Chaozong will treat his daughter coldly in the future and make his daughter suffer unspeakable grievances. Sometimes cold violence is more hurtful.
Soon after, Peng Yulan came to her daughter's yard and entered her daughter's room.
In the house, the four girls Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju were ordered to keep an eye on Feng Ruonan to prevent any accidents. However, Feng Ruonan had not taken off his armor and was lying on the couch.
Peng Yulan waved her hand, signaling the four girls to retreat and sit next to the couch.
Before she could speak, Feng Ruonan had already spoken: "Mom, you don't have to persuade me anymore. I said I won't marry, so I won't marry. It's useless for anyone to force me!"
Peng Yulan said angrily: "I don't want to see you get married like this, but you are a general in command after all. Don't you know what it means to consider the overall situation on the battlefield?"
Feng Ruonan suddenly sat up and said angrily: "What do you mean by looking after the overall situation? I'm looking after the overall situation of Tianyu Sect, right! If you ask grandpa to see me, I'd like to ask him if he can use his granddaughter to help Tianyu Door, is it something men do?"
"Presumptuous!" Peng Yulan slapped her on the face, stood up suddenly, pointed at her and shouted: "Can Guangyi County be stable regardless of the overall situation of Tianyumen? You don't know how many people want to Do you want to take your father's life? The competition between the various sects will lead to retreat. If you don't get stronger, others will annex you when they get stronger. Once Tianyu Sect collapses, can Guangyi County still be saved? Your father, Your mother and your brother will die without a burial place, is this what you want to see?"
This is no lie. There is a mutual relationship between each sect and the secular forces on their own territory. If you want to have a larger territory and seize more cultivation resources, you have to have someone to help you occupy the territory to take care of secular affairs. The disciples in the sect No matter how many there are, it is impossible to throw them all into the secular world to take care of military and political affairs. How many disciples must be thrown out to take care of such a large territory? This is not realistic. Not to mention that the main energy of a practitioner is cultivation, the ability of a practitioner to handle worldly affairs may not be as good as that of a person in the secular world. Therefore, it is necessary to support agents in the secular world to take care of things, and to support heroes and outstanding figures in the secular world to help deal with matters. Reason, this is the most economical method for sect disciples' resources.
If you want more cultivation resources, you need a larger territory, and if you need a larger territory, you need more disciples. It is impossible not to provide security for secular agents and their downline backbones, otherwise the agents and their The backbone of the offline team can easily be killed by competitors. This is the origin of the retinue mage. As the territory expands, the number of retinue mages sent by the sect will naturally increase, and more disciples will need to be trained, which in turn will require more cultivation resources to support them. This is a cause and effect relationship.
Feng Ruonan covered her face, bit her lip, and had tears in her eyes. Of course she didn't want her family to be miserable, but she also didn't want to get married in such a humiliating way.
"Ruonan, can you please let mother beg you?" Peng Yulan slowed down her tone and said plaintively: "Can mother kneel down for you?" After saying that, she walked to the front of her daughter, bent her knees, and was about to kneel down. .
Feng Ruonan quickly held her arm with both hands and shook his head. How could he bear the kneeling of his mother? He said with tears in his eyes: "Mom, please don't do this. Isn't it okay for me to marry you?"
The mother and daughter immediately hugged each other and cried bitterly.
"Mom, I feel aggrieved. That Shang Chaozong is so bullying..." Feng Ruonan choked in her mother's arms.
Peng Yulan patted her daughter on the back and gave her assurance, "Don't worry, mother has already made a plan to make you angry, and your father has acquiesced!"
In the middle of the morning the next day, Niu Youdao was still sitting cross-legged in the house, meditating. Yuan Gang knocked on the door and came in, reminding him: "Master Dao, those three are outside asking for an audience."
Niu Youdao slowly drew back his strength, exhaled, and opened his eyes. Of course he knew who those three were, and who else could they be besides the three Shang Chaozong.
He got up and went outside, and sure enough he saw the three people at the foot of the steps. The three of them came together to bow their hands in greeting, "Master Dao!" The tone was obviously more respectful.
Niu Youdao didn't take it seriously. He earned his face, but when he looked at Shang Chaozong's two dark circles, he couldn't help but laugh. He probably didn't sleep well last night. He stopped smiling and said solemnly, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Shang Chaozong smiled and said: "I am going to meet Feng Lingbo and invite the Taoist master to go with me."
"Well, I won't go. You can just go." Niu Youdao waved his hands cheerfully. Naturally, he felt guilty for not having done anything good. It depends on the person's face, but let the person in front of him suffer. He asked casually, "How did you get the 10,000 gold coins together?"
Shang Chaozong shook his head helplessly, "I'm not familiar with the place here, and I really can't raise that much money at once." He waved his hand to Lan Ruoting, "I have no choice but to embarrass you, sir, and discuss it with Feng Lingbo later. If you owe me the last debt, I will find a way to make up for it when I get to Cangwu County."
owe? Niu Youdao looked at the three of them with a speechless expression on his face and said, "You three worked hard all night and came up with such a solution? If you go in empty-handed like this, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
