It was just dawning, and the first ray of morning light shined through the window lattice and onto the wooden couch in the side room.
Wang Yue slowly opened his eyes, stood up and stretched, his whole body Blood Qi circulated slightly, dispelling the remaining sleepiness. He touched his chest, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously. Now that he has become the disciple of Ji Wuling, he has become the disciple of the Dragon Transformation Sect.
He just didn't know when his master would take him back to the sect. When he thought of the sect's richer cultivation resources and advanced martial arts, he felt a little hopeful.
Pushing open the door, the fresh air mixed with the moisture after the rain hit my face. The handymen at the stronghold were busy cleaning the courtyard, chatting in low voices, all about the Dragon Transformation Sect purge last night.
Wang Yue listened to a few words and raised his eyebrows slightly. Not only were the forces in several counties under his jurisdiction wiped out, but even a Lineage who was related to the commander Lin Dong in the city was uprooted.
"No wonder there's so much talk about the surname."
Wang Yue thought to himself, "The power in the county is too far away from the capital city, but yesterday Lineage was still making waves in the capital city, and today he is a prisoner, and his mansion is sealed. How can such an earth-shaking contrast not make people shocked and talk about it?"
He touched his nose and simply gave up the idea of going out. After the battle in the ring, his name had already spread throughout the city. Now he was afraid that he would be surrounded by onlookers and it would be difficult to move.
Back in the room, Wang Yue took out the "Nine Revolutions Dragon Transformation Force" cheat book given by Ji Wuling yesterday, and sat at the table to read it carefully.
The handwriting on the secret book is vigorous and powerful, and each page is marked with Ji Wuling's practice experience, from Blood Qi movement to strength condensation, the explanations are profound and simple. Wang Yue The more I watched, the more fascinated I became. Sometimes I frowned and thought, sometimes I raised my hand to make gestures. Unknowingly, it was noon.
The feeling of hunger in his belly pulled him back from his immersion in martial arts. Wang Yue put away the secret book and walked quickly towards the main hall.
As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, he saw Ji Wuling reclining on the big sandalwood chair in the middle, playing with a qian-colored jade pendant in his hand, while Fu Hanzhou was holding a thick account book, standing below and bowing to report.
"... The proceeds from this cleanup totaled more than 13,000 grade weapons, including 210 second-grade weapons and above.
There are countless light armors, three and twenty-four pieces of heavy armor, gold, silver and jewelry equivalent to about 50,000 kilograms of refined iron. "
Fu Hanzhou's voice was clear and steady. Every time he reported something, Wang Yue's heart sank. With so many weapons, armor and money, it was enough for rebellion, let alone fighting for territory!
He remembered the law of the Great Chang Dynasty: A country is built by force. Although swords and light armor are not prohibited, private possession of heavy armor and crossbows is strictly prohibited. Private possession of one heavy armor will result in beheading, and possession of three or more sets will implicate the entire clan.
But these forces actually hid more than three pieces of them, enough to kill their entire family dozens of times!
Wang Yue moved quietly and glanced at the table. There was a large pile of thick papers on it, all of which were house deeds, land deeds, and several bundles of deeds of renunciation tied with red ropes. The densely packed names made one's scalp numb. "
These aristocratic families are really greedy. They occupy the best farmland and shops in the city, and now they have all the sect's wealth. "
He secretly clicked his tongue, and then thought about Shang's fully-expanded Jingqi Stone Exchange. These real estate and gold and silver were still solid hard currencies at this moment.
Ji Wuling listened to the report without raising his eyelids, and waved his hand casually. "These things are piled up and taking up space. If anyone wants to buy them, they will be sold at 30% off the market price.
If no one shows interest within three days, the property will be rented out at 30% off the market price, and the rent will be charged monthly and placed in the sect's warehouse. "
Fu Hanzhou Hearing this, he immediately bowed and smiled and said, "Mr. Ji's move is really heart-warming! Selling and leasing it at 30% off can not only quickly dispose of these extravagant wealth, but also bring some benefits to the surname. I believe everyone in the city will miss you."
"Pfft" Ji Wuling almost spit out the tea he had just held in his mouth, his face jumped suddenly, and he had to hold back his laughter. Is he a generous person? I just thought it was troublesome to check and register, so I wanted to get rid of these things quickly. Fu Hanzhou, this kid, can actually climb along the pole.
He glared at Fu Hanzhou and said angrily, "Stop flattering and do something about it quickly!
In addition, all those bonds of slavery must be destroyed in public, and the word "sell one's self" is not allowed to be mentioned again in the future. Although I, Dragon Transformation Sect, am not a kind person, I also disdain these bonds. "
Fu Hanzhou felt a chill in his heart, quickly put away his smile, and said seriously, "Yes, my subordinates will make arrangements right now!"
After that, he quickly left with the account book in hand.
After Fu Hanzhou left, only Wang Yue and Ji Wuling were left in the hall.
Ji Wuling put down the jade pendant in his hand, glanced at Wang Yue who was standing aside, and suddenly asked, "You are pretty good at boxing and kicking, but in martial arts, weapons are often better.
Let me ask you, do you want to learn shooting from me, or continue to practice boxing? "
Wang Yue's heart moved, and he was about to speak when he heard Ji Wuling add, "If you want to learn how to use a gun, yesterday when Lineage was clearing out the house that was involved with Lin Dong, they found a long gun in good condition.
If you want it, just let me know in advance. If other disciples in the sect get the better of you, there's nothing I can do about it. "
"Disciple is willing to learn how to shoot from the master!"
Wang Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly stepped forward, picked up the wine jug on the table, poured a full glass for Ji Wuling, and handed it to Ji Wuling, "Thank you, master!"
Ji Wuling took the wine glass and pointed to the empty seat next to the table. "Sit down."
After Wang Yue sat down obediently, he took a sip of wine and sneered, "Look at your potential, a broken gun will make you happy.
Learning to shoot is much more difficult than practicing boxing. If you can't hold back your strength in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless. "
"Disciple has nothing to say!" Wang Yue straightened his back and his eyes were full of determination. He was willing to learn the gun from a strong man like Ji Wuling who could kill the master with his strength, not to mention hardship, even if it meant going through fire and water.
The two masters and apprentices were talking when a hesitant sound of footsteps suddenly came from the door of the hall.
Xiao Shuyue stood outside the threshold, looking at the happy scene in the palace. He gritted his teeth and walked in. He bowed to Ji Wuling and said, "Mr. Ji, please show mercy to her again, Chu Xin..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ji Wuling picked up the glass and drank by himself without even raising his eyelids, showing that he didn't want to talk about it anymore.
The atmosphere in the hall instantly became awkward. Xiao Shuyue stood there, in a dilemma.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall, and Fu Hanzhou ran in sweating profusely. He lowered his head and reported to you, "Mr. Ji, all the disciples in the sect who were involved with the purged family have been dealt with."
"Where is Chu Xin? How is Chu Xin?" Xiao Shuyue suddenly grabbed Fu Hanzhou's arm, his voice trembling.
Fu Hanzhou hesitated, looked away, and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
Under Xiao Shuyue's questioning, he secretly glanced at the expressionless Ji Wuling a few times, and finally lowered his voice. "Except for Chu Xin who was deposed and expelled from his cultivation base, the rest of the involved disciples... have all been executed according to the sect's rules."
"What did you say?!" Xiao Shuyue's face instantly turned pale, he suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it at Fu Hanzhou.
Fu Hanzhou was so frightened that he rushed towards Ji Wuling, hugged his thigh and cried, "Mr. Ji, save me! I'm just following your orders!"
Wang Yue sat aside, watching this scene in his eyes, and he understood in his heart that in fact, everyone present knew the outcome of Chu Xin. Xiao Shuyue repeatedly begged for mercy, not because she really thought it could change anything, but because this friendship made her unable to sit idly by.
At this juncture, he repeatedly begged for mercy, which showed his deep feelings. If it were anyone else, I am afraid that he would have tried every means to distance himself from Chu Xin, and how would he dare to beg for mercy in public like this.
"What a shame!" Ji Wuling snorted coldly and kicked Fu Hanzhou away. With a slight wave of red energy, Xiao Shuyue's long sword was thrown out of his hand. "
I am extremely merciful to cripple her cultivation instead of killing her.
If you keep getting entangled, don't blame me for dealing with you too! "
Xiao Shuyue looked at the long sword that fell to the ground, and then looked at the expressionless Ji Wuling. The last glimmer of hope in his eyes was shattered.
She was silent for a moment, bent down to pick up the long sword, saluted Ji Wuling, turned around and left quickly, but her footsteps seemed much lighter.
"It's really useless." Ji Wuling looked at her back, commented lightly, and then patted the table, "Stop standing there and eat!"
The handyman outside the hall quickly brought several plates of meat and vegetable dishes and rice. Wang Yue quickly lowered his head, picked up the rice bowl and started eating.
He now knows that Ji Wuling can be so cruel to one of his own, so he should pay attention to it. Chu Xin In front of the sect's iron law, it is better to lose one's cultivation than lose one's life.
As a disciple, I only need to remember my master's teachings, do my duty, and never ask questions that shouldn't be asked.
At the dinner table, the master and apprentice said nothing more. There was only the soft sound of clinking bowls and chopsticks, intertwined with the occasional sound of servants moving around outside the hall.
