Chapter 54: Subjugating Li Liao
"It's okay, Ding Xian, you just stay here and observe, and tell me if there is any situation." Tang Wen instructed his assistant.
"I understand, Master. I will always protect him." Ding Xian bowed and treated Tang Wen as a disciple.
Ding Xian’s master used to be a wandering Taoist priest who could diagnose illnesses and prescribe medicine.
After his master died, Ding Xian opened a medicine shop, but later he offended a bully and fled to Yanling.
This person's skills are also quite good, he is at the seventh level.
Moreover, after studying for a few years, he knew basic characters and words, so Tang Wenbai found a disciple.
At the beginning, Ding Xian looked down on Tang Wen, but after performing dozens of minor operations, Ding Xian had already worshipped Tang Wen as a god.
"I didn't expect that the lord is also a miracle doctor. I'm sorry for my disrespect." As soon as Li Liao took off his gloves, he heard a voice of great admiration.
Turning his head and taking a look, Tang Wen was stunned.
Because he discovered that Li Liao's popularity was tilted towards him at a 40-degree angle. Doesn't this mean that Li Liao was bowing deeply to him?
Looking at Wei Guang, Chen Fei and others, their popularity was completely directed towards him.
Moreover, they all seem to be paying homage, and their tilt angles are almost approaching 0 degrees.
"Master Tang is a god. He has saved many people." Zhan Dongwen said.
"If it weren't for Master Tang today, Li Si would be dead." Li Quan said.
"Thank you, Master Tang..." Li Si's wife Tian Qinghua and her family knelt on the ground in worship, their foreheads bleeding.
"Tian Qinghua, you and Ding Xian take care of Li Si together. He should be fine, don't worry." Tang Wen instructed. Upon hearing this, Tian Qinghua kowtowed again.
"Get up, Qinghua. Li Si is a member of my Tang family, just like my family members. If I, Tang Wen, don't help him, who will?" Tang Wen stretched out his hand to help Tian Qinghua up.
Suddenly, Tang Wen discovered that Li Liao's popularity had been pressed down towards him again, forming a 30-degree angle.
"Master Tang, we are willing to join the Tang family." Chen Fei blurted out.
"Brother-in-law, no matter what you say, I think Mr. Tang is a good man, and I want to join the Tang family." Wei Guang took a deep breath, clenched his fists and continued.
"Liu Qian is willing to join."
"Zhou Chengjiang is willing..."
…
"Brother-in-law!" Wei Guang became anxious when he saw that Li Liao hadn't spoken yet.
"Do you all think that I, Li Liao, am a heartless person? Today I saw the kindness and generosity of the Lord, and also saw the miraculous medical skills of the Lord." Li Liao said with a glare.
"Brother-in-law, do you agree ?" Wei Guang asked nervously.
"If the Lord is willing to take us in, we will join." Li Liao finally nodded.
"Welcome, Li Liao, from now on you will be the commander of the Tang family's personal guard.
I'll give you three rooms...
Wei Guang and Chen Fei haven't started a family yet, so for now, you will have a separate room. We'll add more rooms after you get married..." Tang Wen finally smiled.
"Master Tang, have we also been given the helmets, clothes, swords, etc. that we will use for training?" Wei Guang asked.
"Of course! From now on, Li Liao will be fully responsible for distributing things to the Royal Guard." Tang Wen said.
Li Liao used to be an official, so of course he liked power.
Delegating power is to make Li Liao feel that the emperor trusts him and also to make him feel that he has a goal to achieve.
"Ding Dong! You have accumulated 400 points of popularity, expanded your land by 2,000 acres, and the Landlord System has been activated. You can travel through time for the ninth time at any time."
Suddenly, more than 400 people rushed towards Tang Wen. These people were full of energy and spirit of Li Liao's gang.
Especially since Li Liao was a sixth-rank master, Tang Wen quickly activated the 'Nine-transformation Art of Fish and Dragon' to frantically absorb the popularity of these newcomers.
Because this damn system only has one chance to absorb the popularity of the Tang family's servants, and it can no longer absorb it after that.
At this moment, whatever you can absorb is yours, so Tang Wen certainly won't waste it.
After a few minutes, some important acupoints in the body were opened.
A stream of air is about to burst out, as if wanting to rush out of the body.
Tang Wen used his mental skills and found that his inner energy could be concentrated at a certain place in the body with the help of his mental skills.
He casually picked up a sword and drew his inner energy inward. Suddenly, a pale yellow sword light stretched out and expanded to three inches in length.
Although it is only three inches, it represents that he has entered the seventh level of Chongqiao realm.
Warriors at this level can channel their internal energy into weapons to attack, but the internal energy cannot fly out of the body to hurt people, so they can only be transferred into objects.
But the attack power of weapons blessed with inner energy will increase exponentially. Tang Wen picked up the sword and slashed it on the table.
Suddenly, a deep scratch appeared on the hard jujube wood tabletop.
He danced with the sword on the table for a while, and suddenly, wood chips flew everywhere, and a monster totem appeared on the table as if it was carved by a high-pressure water jet.
If you don't activate your inner energy and just use a knife to carve, it would be very laborious, and the craftsmanship level would not be at the same level at all.
However, just after finishing carving, Tang Wen suddenly felt tired, his body became limp, and he couldn't even straighten his back.
This is the result of excessive consumption of internal energy. Although the internal energy is powerful in transmitting objects, it is also very laborious.
Tang Wen immediately opened the medicine bottle and swallowed a Qi-replenishing pill, using his mental method to slowly absorb it. Soon, the whole medium-quality Qi-replenishing pill was completely absorbed.
So, I took another one, and absorbed three in a row before I felt a sense of fullness.
Then exhale and inhale, returning to calm.
Looking up at the landlord's space, I found that the data on the big screen had been updated again:
Popularity Index: 1980
Land area: 2403 hectares and 20 acres.
Wealth Index: 143,000 taels of gold.
Martial arts level: early seventh level.
Ceremonial load: 1,200 tons.
Travel time: sixty days.
Popularity: Grade 8.
Tang Wen arranged all matters, and with a flash of green light, he traveled back to Yunhai City.
60,000 taels of gold were sold for 600 million yuan, and after paying taxes of nearly 100 million yuan, there was 500 million yuan left.
400 million was used to buy back 1.3 million taels of silver bricks, and the remaining 100 million was used to order a batch of swords, bows, shields, medicines, cement and steel bars, camouflage uniforms, five excavators, a road roller, a forklift, and ten Dongfeng heavy trucks...
Tang Wen directly instructed Zhao Jiang, the general manager of Hengjiang Trading Company, to handle these.
However, military bulletproof helmets are a problem. They are not yet used by civilians and have nowhere to be found.
I asked Zhao Jiang, and he said that there are some in Afghanistan. However, it would be difficult to transport them back to China.
The only option was to smuggle across the border. However, smuggling military supplies across the border would result in a case of suing the military court, and Tang Wen didn't want to be shot.
Naturally, I don't want to get involved in this, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
He thought about it for a while, and when he saw a call from Chen Guozhang, the captain of the Zhanlong Special Forces, he decided to contact him to see if he could get it approved.
As soon as I called back, I heard Chen Guozhang's voice, "Mr. Tang, see you at the usual place. I have something urgent to discuss with you."
So Tang Wen drove straight to the Lanting Club.
When I entered the box, I found that in addition to Chen Guozhang, there were two other middle-aged men, one of whom was wearing a Zhongshan suit and had an imposing look on his face.
The other one was muscular, with an arm as thick as Tang Wen's thigh, and his physique was comparable to Schwarzenegger's.
As soon as they saw Tang Wen come in, the two men stared at him with sharp eyes.
"Mr. Tang, this is my leader Xiao Jinguo, deputy team leader of the War Dragon Special Forces." Chen Guozhang pointed at the man in the Zhongshan suit and introduced him.
"Hello, Team Leader Xiao." Tang Wen nodded.
"Haha, Chen Guozhang, your friend is weak and has no muscles at all. Is he really a master?" At this time, the strong and powerful man asked with a slightly teasing smile.
"Mr. Tang, this is Liu Gang, the coach of the War Dragon Group. He is very skilled and much stronger than me." Chen Guozhang said.
"Excuse me!" Tang Wen nodded.
"I, Liu Gang, don't like playing with these wrinkled words. Chen Guozhang said you are a master, so let's have a fight." Liu Gang said.
"Haha, Mr. Tang, when he heard Chen Guozhang say that you are a master, he became dissatisfied. Look, his combative nature comes up again." Xiao Jinguo said with a smile.
"Forget it. How can I beat Coach Liu?" Tang Wen shook his head.
"Mr. Tang, you are too modest." Chen Guozhang said.
"I'm telling the truth and don't want to get beaten." Tang Wen shook his head.
"How dare you look down on me?" Liu Gang glared at him with murderous intent.
"That's true. I don't have the courage to look down on you, coach." Tang Wen shook his head lightly.
"Mr. Tang, Coach Liu is a stubborn person.
You just need to have a discussion with him and make him give up.
Otherwise, they will probably pester you every day in the future, and you will have a headache. " Chen Guozhang said.
"Brother Chen, you are putting me on the fire." Tang Wen said.
"If you want to fight, do it quickly. Don't dawdle here like a woman." Liu Gang urged.
"I'm afraid I'll beat you into a pig's head." Tang Wen snorted.
