Chapter 170: Servants of a hundred households (1)

“For example, if you kill a few thousand enemies, you’ll get more than ten thousand battle credits. By then, when he had accumulated a certain amount of military merits, it would not be impossible for him to become a Duke. So, you’ll have to consider it carefully. ” Chu Zhao shook his head. “However, where did the hundreds of thousands of battle achievements and tens of millions of taels of silver come from?” Tang Wen shook his head. “This is an opportunity. The situation in the Northwest is tense. I’ve heard news from the front line that there’s a type of military tent that’s very useful. The soldiers all liked it and found out that it was actually from your place. ” Chu Zhao said. “That’s right, I gave him quite a lot the last time the provincial deputy commander, Lord Jiang, came. ” Tang Wen nodded. “You’re talking about Jiang Xuan, right?” Chu Zhao said. “That’s right, it’s him,” Tang Wen nodded. “Sigh ... What a pity.” Chu Zhao suddenly sighed and took a big gulp of wine. “Sir Chu, if you have any difficulties, please let me know and I’ll see if I can help.” Tang Wen said. “Lord Chu’s background is complicated, and the Chu family is also part of the royal family. Moreover, they were quite famous in ocean Saint City and were considered one of the prosperous clans in ocean Saint. However, Master Chu’s mother is a little troublesome. ” At this moment, Yang Yun said when he saw Chu Zhao looking at him. “Could it be that Master Chu’s birth mother was not the first wife?” Tang Wen immediately thought of the illegitimate child. “Lord Jue is indeed amazing. You guessed it right. Master Chu’s biological mother was brought in by his father from outside, so the Chu family had never acknowledged her. Until now, Lord Chu didn’t even have a status in Chu State. However, Master Chu did not let him down. He had been sensible since young and worked hard to become stronger. His martial arts had stepped into complete rank -5 in his twenties. Moreover, he had killed many enemies by himself and gained many battle merits. Therefore, he had been promoted from a Baron to a third – Class Viscount. His family didn’t help him at all. If he could step into the fourth grade and achieve military merits, he would be promoted and probably be able to sit on the garrison position soon. It’s a pity that Lord Chu is an upright man who’s neither greedy nor snatching. How could he have so much silver to buy high level Chi – amassing pills?” Yang Yun said. “Only the best of the top grade Chi – amassing pills can advance from the fifth grade to the fourth grade.” Tang Wen said. “Sir yang, may I have a private chat with Lord Jue?” Chu Zhao looked at Yang Yun and said. “Just in time. I also want to see if Lord Zhao has woken up.” Yang Yun nodded and left. “Lord Jue, I heard that you’re a righteous person and a great philanthropist, so I’ll be thick – skinned.” Seeing Yang Yun leave, Chu Zhao said after closing the door. “If there’s anything you want to say, just say it.” Tang Wen asked. “I can’t see my mother being humiliated in the Chu family again. This is the shame of my life. In the Chu family, there were times when she was not even as good as a servant. They didn’t even have the chance to eat at the table, so they could only hide in their rooms and eat. The Chu clan’s elders are worse than pigs and dogs. They’ve been bullying him too much. I can’t let this go on, so I need Lord Jue’s help. Once I take up the position of the garrison, or an even higher position. By then, the Linghai Academy will be nothing. I’ll take care of them on behalf of Lord Jue. ” Chu Zhao said. “How do you want me to help you?” Tang Wen stared at him and said. “I heard that Lord Jue has high – grade medicinal pills here. You helped me step into the fourth grade. Empress, give me a batch of tents. I’ll exchange them for military merits. Soon, I’ll personally escort the tent to the front line. By then, I’ll be a rank -4. It’ll be different when you come back. ” Chu Zhao said firmly. “It’s not difficult to help you, but people’s hearts change. At that time, will you still remember me when you’re in a high position? The Linghai Academy is not simple. Do you dare to touch it?” Tang Wen said. “I, Chu Zhao, have an indomitable spirit. I can swear.” Chu Zhao stood up and said. “I never believe in oaths. In the face of benefits, oaths are nothing but bullsh * t. They are worthless.” Tang Wen shook his head. “Then, how do you want me to help you before you’re willing to help me, Lord Jue?” Chu Zhao said. “Sell yourself to the Tang family and become a member of the Tang family. I’ll help you.” Tang Wen said. “Isn’t Lord Jue’s appetite too big? Even though the Chu family has yet to acknowledge me, the blood of the Chu family still flows in my veins. They have no choice but to acknowledge me. Once I take the position, they’ll have to suck up to me. My Chu family is the legitimate royal family, and you want a member of the Chu family to sell herself to the Tang family? what a joke!” Chu Zhao sneered. “A joke?” Tang Wen smiled and said,”I’m training you, so you have to pay. Otherwise, why should I help you?” “How much can you help me with?” Chu Zhao mocked. “I can help you get everything you want. Let me ask you, although you are a member of the Chu family, what grade is your cultivation technique?” Tang Wen asked. “Heaven tier lower level. Even though the Chu family did not acknowledge me, my father still passed the heaven tier cultivation technique to me in private. With a sky – High price cultivation technique, it’s possible for me to step into the third or second stage in the future. ” Chu Zhao said arrogantly. “A heaven – tier lower – grade cultivation method can only help you reach rank -3 at most. Do you think it’s possible to reach rank -2?” Tang Wen sneered. “When my position is higher in the future, I will think of a way to get a heaven – tier middle – grade cultivation skill, or even a high – grade cultivation skill.” Chu Zhao said. “But you have to get your position up first. With your current situation, it’s not that I’m looking down on you, but God knows when. By then, it would be too late. If you join the Tang family, you’ll be able to achieve these goals within three years. At that time, your mother will be successful, and you won’t have to suffer the anger of the elders of the Chu family anymore. You’ll be glorious, and all of this was brought to you by me. Although you’ve sold yourself to the Tang family as a slave, I won’t spread it around. No one in this world will know that you’re a slave of the Tang family. So, as long as you’re obedient, it’ll be fine. Of course, don’t worry, I won’t let you do anything that will harm you. ” Tang Wen said. “These are the only benefits I’ve seen. Hehe, it’s not enough for me to sell myself and change my ambition.” Chu Zhao said. “Is a heaven – tier upper – grade cultivation skill enough?” Tang Wen asked. “You have a heaven – tier upper – grade cultivation skill?” Chu Zhao was stunned, his face full of shock. The old master hadn’t mentioned Mystic grade yet. Otherwise, you’d be scared to death ... Gu hanyan’s lips curved into a playful curve. Tang Wen accidentally opened his human eyes and saw Gu hanyan’s little figure. He almost laughed. Sister, you must be feeling disdainful. “What do you think of this servant?” Tang Wen pointed at Gu Hanyan. “Hehe, average looks, nothing much? Lord Jue has a Special Hobby. ” Chu Zhao laughed, his face full of mockery. “Who Do You Think You Are!” Gu hanyan suddenly flew into a rage and reached out her hand. Chu Zhao was shocked and was directly caught by Gu hanyan and suspended in the air 100 feet away. Chu Zhao struggled, but there was no way out. “It’s done,” Tang Wen said. Gu hanyan put him down and said,”this is the high – grade heaven – tier cultivation technique that the old master passed down, the celestial River divine wood art.” “This Chu has been impolite!” Chu Zhao immediately softened. He changed his fist, bowed, and re – greeted. “Do you recognize this?” Tang Wen took out a high – grade spirit stone. “Stone?” Chu Zhao was stunned. “You’re just a frog in a well. That’s called a spirit stone, and it’s even more effective than medicinal pills.” Gu hanyan scoffed. “Spirit stone? this is the first time I’ve heard of it.” Chu Zhao said with a confused look. “What’s wrong with me saying that you’re a frog at the bottom of a well? you’re even perverted, selling yourself to the Tang family is your fortune. When the time comes, the old master will pass you a heaven – tier upper – grade cultivation technique, give you spirit pills, and spirit stones, and you’ll be able to step into the fourth grade immediately. In another two or three years, you’ll be a rank -3 master. The status, power, and money that you’ve been longing for all your life are at your fingertips. You should thank the old master. Otherwise, with these conditions ... The other Baihu would probably be crying and begging to sell themselves to the Tang Clan. ” Gu hanyan’s words were sharp and merciless. “I ... I I ...” Chu Zhao hesitated.
