Chapter 119 The Bigger the Storm, the More Expensive the Fish

"Wu Ji?"

As soon as this was said, there was an uproar in the hall.

As we all know, it is very difficult to change one's place of origin in the Great Zhou.

Generally speaking, the people of the Great Zhou are born in a certain place of origin, and as long as there is no accident, they will be in that place until they die.

To change one's place of origin, one can either join the army and kill enemies on the battlefield; or choose between civil and military, and become an official and a general through the civil or military examinations.

But no matter which one, it is almost impossible for most ordinary people without a backer.

There are many human relationships involved, and it is not simply a matter of assessing one's cultivation. Ordinary people do not have an advantage at all.

Similarly, once one changes to a military place of origin, it means that one gets the opportunity to enter the court of the Great Zhou, become a superior person, and have a certain degree of fame and social status.

Not to mention a lifetime of wealth and glory, but at least one has mastered certain social resources, does not worry about food and drink, and can benefit three generations.

Even Li Linfeng, who is as strong as he is, has not been able to obtain the status of a military place of origin after working hard all his life.

Now that the clerks of the yamen have thrown out the military place of origin, it has to be said that everyone is a little surprised.

After hearing the words of the clerk of the Weiwu Division, everyone on the scene felt that the yamen master was very sincere.

However, it was different from others.

The same words fell into Li Linfeng's ears, but his heart suddenly sank, and he smelled a bad breath from it.

He heard that the words of the clerk of the Weiwu Division were directed at him.

The other party spoke very beautifully, seemingly giving him enough respect, but in fact he had already pushed him into a corner.

If he blocked it, on the one hand, he would be disobedient to the court, and he would be a little ungrateful and would not end up well; on the other hand, he would block the way for other disciples to make progress, which would be a hindrance.

But if he agreed, the strength of Linfeng Hall, which he had worked hard for all his life, would probably be halved again.

Originally, in his idea, he would teach four or five direct disciples and select three to focus on training.

One disciple would be the master, one disciple would be the white paper fan, and one disciple would be the red flower double stick, so as to make Linfeng Hall bigger and stronger.

Even if he himself does not have a martial arts record, his descendants can benefit from it.

Now, after the tiger monster incident, one of his five direct disciples has died and one is disabled.

Among the remaining three, two are still injured because of the conflict with the Mi Gang.

The last one is fine, with excellent talent and no problems, but he is not well-known at this time, and it is time to accumulate strength.

In this case, the government office actually asked him to send people, isn't it the same as digging up his roots?

Is there any way for him to refuse?

No!

The government office behind him is like a mountain, blocking him from moving, and he has no way out.

Li Linfeng couldn't help but clench his fists with his hands tucked into his sleeves, and his knuckles were already clenched white.

The clerk in black clothes and with a badge on his waist looked at Li Linfeng and continued, "Our master knows that Master Li is compassionate to his disciples and is a rare good master, but we also hope that Master Li can take the overall situation into consideration and be more compassionate to the people in the city."

Li Linfeng exhaled, took two steps forward, looked directly at the officials of the Weiwu Division, and said with a smile, "You can ask me to send disciples, but I require that each disciple's salary be doubled, 20 taels per person. If they are injured or die as a result, the pension will be 80 taels, and the personal teaching will be doubled on this basis."

"If the adults can agree, I will arrange it. If you can't agree, then forget it. Compared with the people in the city, I should consider my disciples more."

Li Linfeng offered a very high price, and with the stingy style of the government office in the past, it would definitely not agree.

He just used this to refuse the government office's call, and while preserving his strength, he could also gather the hearts of the people in the hall.

However, what Li Linfeng didn't expect was that the Weiwu Division actually agreed for the first time!

"Okay, Master Li is indeed a famous teacher who treats his disciples like his own children. Before I came, the county magistrate had already made it clear that as long as Master Li's request was not excessive, he would agree to it. I think Master Li's request is very reasonable."

Not only that, the clerk of the Weiwu Division continued to increase the price, taking out a stack of silver bills from his arms and placing them on the table beside him: "This is a little gift specially prepared by the county magistrate before he came, I hope you will accept it."

Then, he took out a porcelain bottle and said: "I still have Qi and Blood Pills issued by the court, a total of 20 pills, which can consolidate Qi and blood and increase the progress of cultivation. I hope Master Li will not make things difficult for me, a person who does things for me."

"This time, our county magistrate's determination to wipe out the tiger monster is as firm as a rock. I hope Master Li can do his part, and we will be grateful."

Qi and Blood Pills?

Li Linfeng's face changed, knowing that this was one of the military salaries of the Zhou Dynasty court, comparable to a tonic.

Outside, one pill is worth one to five taels.

The Weiwu Division has invested a lot of money.

Things have come to this point, and Li Linfeng already knows that he has no room for maneuver.

He can't fight, and he can't hide.

What else can he do?

Li Linfeng's clenched fists in his sleeves slowly loosened.

"How many do you want this time?"

The clerk of the Weiwu Division flashed a smile on his face, and said quickly: "Considering the heavy losses of Li Tangzhu, you only need to transfer one more disciple, five inner court disciples, and ten outer court disciples. If you can kill the tiger monster, the one with the greatest merit can get the status of a military officer."

"Okay, I got it."

The clerk of the Weiwu Division clasped his fists and said: "Then let's gather at the west city gate at 1:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. The matter has been completed, I will not bother Li Tangzhu anymore, goodbye."

"Goodbye, I won't see you off."

The clerk of the Weiwu Division turned and walked towards the door. The many Linfeng Hall disciples gathered at the entrance of the hall moved to both sides and made way.

After he left the inner courtyard hall, Li Linfeng waved to Ouyang Tiezhu and Wu Shili and said, "You can get some money from Ah Fu and deal with the affairs of the brothers and sisters. As for Lao Er, I will take care of it myself."

"Yes, Master." Ouyang Tiezhu stepped forward and said, "Who will go this time?"

Li Linfeng stared at Ouyang Tiezhu and then looked at Wu Shili.

The tiger monster incident even caused the two intact disciples Niu Daping and Dong Zizhuang to suffer. They had just recovered from their injuries a few days ago. If they went there, they would be in danger.

When he was in a dilemma, he saw Shen Qing standing outside the door, and sighed helplessly and said, "Let your junior brother go."

Ouyang Tiezhu and Wu Shili looked at each other at the same time: "Junior brother has only practiced martial arts for a short time? Even if he has excellent talent, he lacks combat experience. If he is allowed to go, he may be in danger of death."

Li Linfeng said helplessly: "Let's ask your junior brother's opinion first."

He waved to Shen Qing.

Shen Qing understood, walked over, and said with a fist: "Master, you are looking for me?"

Li Linfeng said: "I want you to go this time, are you willing? If not, forget it."

Shen Qing glanced at everyone, and his mind was weighing the pros and cons.

After continuous practice, his true martial arts may be close to the Yangqi realm, and with the convenience of bows and arrows, it is even more uncertain.

A step back, with the skills of Turtle Breathing Technique, Eagle Eyes, and Dragon Roar Iron Cloth Shirt, even if he can't beat them, it is more than enough to protect himself.

The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!

The opportunity to obtain a martial arts license is not always available.

It is also a good opportunity to see how strong I am after learning so many martial arts and skills.

Shen Qing thought of this and agreed: "Disciple is willing!"
