“Qiao Xiao, you can’t go. I know what you want to do. The Gu family has always been upright, we don’t steal or Rob, and we are innocent. I can’t let you do bad things just because I’m trying to drag out an ignoble existence. If that’s the case, I’d rather die. ” Gu hanyan said. “You want to rob a bank, or Rob a rich man’s house?” Tang Wen finally understood. “What else can I do other than this? Where did you get tens of thousands of taels?” The bamboo hat man said helplessly. “Although you’re not weak in martial arts, the six Fan School is full of experts. You’re not afraid of a one – on – one fight, but if it’s a few against one, you’ll definitely die. ” Tang Wen said. The six Fan School was a special organization set up by the darchu dynasty. All the constables in the country were led by them. The six Fan School was set up by the court specifically to deal with the experts of the Jianghu. There was a six fan Hall in each province’s six Fan School, which was in charge of all the Jianghu Affairs in the province. They had similar functions as the Ming Dynasty’s embroidered uniform guards. They would only appear when the constables could not handle them. The minimum requirement for the six Fan School was to be a rank -8 with inner force. The hall Master of the provincial Hall was definitely a rank -6 expert. He was a physical invulnerability expert with a strength of over a few thousand. On the other hand, physical invulnerability experts could already release their internal invulnerability and attack people from a distance. Of course, the range of the injury was not large, only about three feet. Any further and they could only watch helplessly. “Mistress saved my life, so it’s only right that I return my life to her.” The bamboo hat man said with determination. “Qiao Xiao, if you dare to go, I won’t take the medicine! You know my character. The Gu family can’t be ruined because of you. ” Gu hanyan said. “But if you don’t go, you’ll die. How can you do that, mistress! I, Qiao Xiao, am useless, useless!” Qiao Xiao knelt down, two lines of tears flowing down his cheeks. “It’s not like there’s no way to save her,” Tang Wen said. “What can we do, old master Tang? As long as you can save the mistress, I’ll hand my life over to you. ” Qiao Xiao looked at Tang Wen with a pitiful expression. “I’ll pay for the tens of thousands of taels of silver, but you’ll have to join the Tang family and sell yourselves as slaves to repay this debt. ” Tang Wen said. “I’d rather die! I guess you’ve already planned this out?” Gu hanyan sneered and looked at Tang Wen with disdain. “Do you think I care about you? I’m taking a huge risk to bring you over.” Tang Wen replied with a sneer. “What risk is there? you have silver, only tens of thousands of taels. Moreover, my family’s Qiao Xiao is stronger than all of your guards. He’s an expert who can isolate injuries. ” Qiao Xiao sneered. “Your group’s origins are unknown, are you here to seek revenge on somi Island? If you’re here to avoid revenge, it means that your opponent is very powerful, because even you can’t handle it. You can only hide in this remote place and survive, am I right? Tell me, did I bring danger to myself by taking you in? At that time, you’ll become the Tang family’s servants. The Tang family will have to take the responsibility for your matter. It’s a very big risk. ” Tang Wen said. “This isn’t something that can be solved with martial arts.” Qiao Xiao said. “Old master Tang is indeed powerful.” GE Ziyun said,”mistress, since Master Tang is willing to take it on, we’ll join the Tang family.” “I’m afraid he’ll pee his pants if he knows! You still dare to accept us, what a joke!” Gu hanyan said sarcastically. “Forget it, it seems that I guessed correctly. You’re right, I’ll really pee my pants. You guys can leave, my Tang family won’t take this risk. ” Tang Wen waved his hand and said to Zhao du,”see the guest out!” “You’re indeed a coward. Qiao Xiao, carry me. Since this sumi Island is theirs, we won’t be staying here. ” Gu Hanyan. “Master Tang, we’re willing to sell our bodies to the Tang family as slaves, only for you to save mistress’s life!” Qiao Xiao and GE Ziyun knelt down together. “Your mistress said that I’ll pee my pants in fear. I’m a coward, so wouldn’t it be a joke for you to sell your bodies to a coward?” Tang Wen sneered. “We’ve decided. The mistress won’t sell herself. We’ll both sell ourselves.” GE Zi Yun said. “If you want to sell yourself, you can do it together. Isn’t your Madam very cheeky? I, Tang Wen, will go all out to play with you. However, I’m going to take your mistress as my personal maid. If you agree to this condition, I’ll accept it. Otherwise, you have to leave Paradise Island before FiveO’ clock tomorrow night. ” Tang Wen said. “Master Tang, you’ve gone too far.” GE Zi Yun and Qiao Xiao both shouted. “I’d rather die than be your personal maid. ” Gu hanyan sneered. “Your death is not to be regretted, but it’s a pity that you have family members who will be buried with you.” Tang Wen said. “What do you want to do?” Qiao Xiao stood up and glared at Tang Ling with killing intent. “Did Gu hanyan’s illness spread to her family? However, their symptoms were still relatively mild. But you’ll end up like Gu hanyan soon. ” Tang Wen said. “They ... They won ‘t.” Gu hanyan’s soft spot was hit, and she said with a pained expression. “I’m just lying to myself. Aren’t their symptoms similar to your early symptoms? It wouldn’t take long for it to fully act up in ten days. A month later, your entire family will be gathered to have a meal in hell. ” Tang Wen said. “Please save them. My death is not to be regretted.” Gu hanyan completely broke down and begged. “Mistress, just agree to old master Tang. “Otherwise ...” GE Zi Yun said. “I can sell myself. I can do the laundry or cook. However, I can’t be your personal maid.” Gu hanyan gave in. “I want you to be my personal maid. This is my only condition! No second talk!” Tang Wen said rudely. “You ... You you ...” Gu hanyan started to cry.”Alright, I promise you.” After she finished, she closed her eyes in pain and shouted,”father, mother! His daughter was unfilial! I’ve sold the Gu family and from now on, they’re my slaves. I’m unfilial, unfilial. ” “GE Zi Yun, you can write this Indenture.” Tang Wen beckoned Zhan junru to bring a pen and paper. However, Zhan junru’s expression didn’t look good. He seemed to be a little jealous. “Hehe, you and she are both my personal maids. What are you worried about?” Tang Wen smiled at her. “This servant didn ‘t.” Zhan junru’s face turned red as she shook her head. Two hours later, the entire Gu family had joined the Tang family, including the dozens of people who had followed them. “Ding – Dong, you have accumulated 100 popularity points. You can start the fourth time travel.” Gu hanyan had brought 70 to 80 people with her. Including the ones that the Tang family had recruited these few days, they had already passed the 100 – man Mark. Tang Wen quickly circulated his cultivation technique and absorbed human qi like crazy. It took a full two hours before it stopped, and he felt that his strength had increased again. Tang Wen looked into the space and found that the data on the big screen had been updated again: [Popularity index: 388] Land area: 2338 hectares [Wealth index: 11000 taels of gold] [Martial arts boundary: half – Step to rank -8] [Luggage carrying Capacity: 500 tons] [Time travel: 25 days.] This time, he had only raised his cultivation by half a level. It seemed that the faster he raised his cultivation in the early stages, the weaker the effect of his human qi would be in the later stages. However, his vision had improved by several times. He could even see a beetle as thick as a pinky finger from 50 meters away. Tang Wen readjusted the guard team to 40 people, which was just enough to form a strong platoon. He also appointed Qiao Xiao as the Chief Instructor to train them. At midnight, Tang Wen returned to Yunhai city. This time, not only did he come to exchange for silver, but the building of the guard team was also important. After all, Tang Wen didn’t want anyone to die after the bloody lesson. Therefore, apart from daily necessities, he also had to purchase some simple military equipment. For example, walkie – talkies, night vision devices, small drones, camouflage uniforms ... Tang Wen was also preparing to bring a set of Special Forces training equipment to somi Island and let Qiao Xiao organize the training of the guard team. He wanted to build a modern army that used cold weapons. Of course, the number of people had to be slowly increased. According to great Chu’s laws, third – Class barons could form their own personal guard Army, but the number of people was limited to about 60. There were 100 first – Class males, and 200 first – Class Viscounts. A rank 1 Earl could have 400 to 500 guards, and a Marquis could have more than 1000 guards. Therefore, Tang Wen still had to consider how to promote his noble rank. However, promotion was often linked to’ military achievements ‘, and Tang Wen didn’t want to join the army and die on the battlefield. Of course, you might say that the nobles all had their own personal guards, and that the court was not afraid of them rebelling? Of course, he wasn’t afraid. Firstly, there weren’t many aristocrats in Chu State. Moreover, most of them were from the Chu royal family, and the aristocrats with different surnames accounted for less than 20% of the total aristocrats in the country. Secondly, even though the Imperial court had given you a quota of this many people, most of the nobles could not afford to support so many people. Lastly, even if you can afford to feed so many people, the Army of Chu State has millions of soldiers. Your small number of troops is not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. If you wanted to rebel, the minions of the Imperial court like six Fan School would have smelled it long ago. By then, you would have been wiped out before you could rebel. This time, Tang Wen returned with a full load of 500 tons of supplies.
