Chapter 299: The Li Family
"The Li family?"
Fan Ping looked surprised, but then again, he actually pulled people directly at the city gate? This Li family, no, the six major families should have similar practices, but the guards he just met at this east city gate are from the Li family, and from this point of view, the six major families should not be very peaceful, Fan Ping'an's eyes flashed: "This is a good thing, the more chaotic I have, the more chance I have, hey, wait, Li family?" ”
Fan Ping'an couldn't help but think of Li Jia, when he left Lin'an City, Li Jia once asked him to see if he could take care of her father if he passed by Stone Town, for his apprentice, Fan Ping'an still valued it, and he did have the idea of taking care of it when he met it, but could it be that Li Jia's father was born in this Li family?
"It's not such a coincidence, is it?"
In fact, Li Jia once told Fan Ping'an that her father's family is very large, which seems to be in line with the intelligence of the six major families, but Li Jia doesn't know martial arts at all, is it because she is an illegitimate daughter and won't teach it?
"The six major families have heaven-level martial arts, and the qualifications of those who can cultivate heaven-level martial arts must be extraordinary, and Li Jia and Li Xin's qualifications seem to be in line with this."
Fan Ping'an narrowed his eyes slightly, and then shook his head, is it not important, he doesn't plan to rely on the identity of the master to get almost benefits, there is no need to delve into it, if it is true, it would be good if he gave Li Jia a face and did not make a move on her father, as for the rest of her family, presumably she would not care, even if she cared, Fan Ping'an would not care.
"My lord, you just came to our Stone Town, I don't know, but when you get to know our Stone Town, you will know how strong our Li family is."
The guard said with a proud look, Fan Ping'an didn't say much, and soon, after the guard registered Fan Ping'an's information, after knowing that he was an intermediate general, the guard's eyes became more eager, and at the same time, there were special people to sketch Fan Ping'an, in the era when there were no cameras, it could only be like this.
This reminds Fan Ping'an of a certain spoof movie that also uses manual sketching when filming speeding, I wonder if there will be speeding in this stone city, is it also used in this way?
Then, the guards sent someone to take these materials into the formation, and at the same time introduced some simple information about Stone City to Fan Ping'an, which specifically mentioned the exploits of the six major families in recovering Stone City, and Fan Ping'an also showed amazement and admiration at the right time.
"Of course, the strongest of the six major families is the Wang family, there is nothing to say about this, the Wang of the Wang family is the number one master in our Stone City, if it weren't for him not wanting to be distracted, the city lord would be him, not his father."
The guard said first, and then changed his words: "However, if you want to say that the richest is our Li family, our Li family runs all the pill business in the city, if you join the Li family, you will not only get a large number of food coupons, but also have a fixed amount of pills provided every month, and the speed of improving cultivation will be very fast, even if Wang Jue, if there is no pill provided by our Li family, it will never be possible to improve so fast." ”
Guarding one by one of our Li family, in fact, he is not a real member of the Li family at all, he is just the lowest-level martial artist in the directly subordinate legion, but even so, it makes him have a great sense of superiority, Fan Ping'an knows this, but on the surface he looks yearning.
In fact, Fan Ping'an really wanted to join the Li family, before he knew the situation in Stone Town, he thought that Stone Town was no different from other cities, thinking that after entering, he would subdue the gathering places one by one and continue the previous model, but now there are six strong families here, and they are all unified, so the original model cannot be used.
In this case, Fan Ping'an wants to find out the situation of the six major families in Stone City, and wants to prepare a copy in a month, the best way is to find a family to join, and now it is just right to join the Li family, and by the way, find out their relationship with Li Jia, of course, the more important thing is the pill.
"Pills, since there are a lot of pills, there must be a lot of raw materials, those have a lot of energy, if I swallow it, my strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds, and I don't know if there will be raw materials for food pills, I need them very much."
Obviously, Fan Ping'an's motives for joining the Li family were not so pure, his eyes were secretly flashing with greed, it was definitely impossible for him to work to earn pills, so rich, it shouldn't be a problem for him to rob the rich and help the poor a little, right?
The guards obviously didn't know what Fan Ping'an was thinking, seeing that he was excited, he was very happy, and continued to brag about the strength of the Li family, if he could win over a general, he would also have a lot of benefits, the general is not a cabbage, and now the generals in Stone City are actually only three digits, and the one in front of him is still an intermediate general.
Of course, compared to other cities, the number of generals in Stone Town is obviously terrifying, and the population of Lin'an City is not much different from that of Stone Town, but there are only a dozen or twenty generals, but the generals of the six major families themselves account for at least half of the hundreds of generals, and at the same time, because of the six major families, Stone Town has developed very well, and it is not surprising that so many generals appear.
Fan Ping'an pretended to be moved and asked, "Then how can I join the Li family, and what will I do after joining the Li family?" ”
"If it is an ordinary martial artist, it is difficult to join our Li family, there must be a relationship, you have to pass many tests, and your strength is strong and forcible, but the adult is a general, if you want to join, of course our Li family welcomes it."
Seeing that Fan Ping'an's heart was moved, the guard introduced very happily: "My lord has three choices to join the Li family, one is to join the direct legion, it is not a problem to come and be a team, if the strength is strong enough, even the tun commander has hope." ”
Fan Ping'an nodded, this should be the system of the martial arts world, Wu has jurisdiction over five people, set up a team chief, set up a second army, set up a team chief, and the team has jurisdiction over five Shi, call it a team Zheng, that is, manage fifty people, and then two teams and one tun, in this way, if you go in, you can only manage fifty people, even if you are strong, you can only manage a hundred people?
"It's not trusting, after all, I just joined the Li family, and it is impossible to be in a high position all of a sudden, but if my subordinates are all martial artists, it is not bad."
Fan Ping'an thought to himself, and then the guard continued: "The second option is better than the first, but it has to sacrifice a little something." ”
"Sacrifice what?"
"Sacrifice your name, change your surname to Li, become a member of the Li family, you can become the bodyguard of the young masters, or the nursing home in the family, what to do, if you perform well in the future, you can also marry a side of the Li family and become a real Li family, of course, if the adult is not a military general, even if you want to change your surname to our Li family, you will not accept it, the requirements are extremely high."
The guard said with a yearning face, this is his dream, he only hates that he doesn't have the strength of the military general, otherwise he will definitely choose this, Fan Ping'an calls himself the fast knife king, this name is naturally fake, it doesn't matter if he changes it or not, but this road is obviously to be a slave, it is similar to selling himself, he has little interest, and asked: "What about the third choice?" ”
"The third option is a little worse, there are a lot of mercenary groups under our Li family, and then adults can go to some mercenary groups to be the deputy head of the group, although they are more free over there, but they are far away from the Li family, and the benefits are not much."
The guard said, the meaning of persuasion in his words, obviously he didn't want Fan Ping'an to choose this road, on the one hand, for the sake of the previous gold bars, on the other hand, he also wanted to let Fan Ping'an cover it in the future with his current friendship, so he naturally hoped that he would choose the first or second road.
"Is that so, I think."
Fan Ping'an was noncommittal, the guards did not urge, and continued to boast about the strength of the Li family, and after a while, the identity token was sent out, the front of the identity token was a name and an identity number, and the back was Fan Ping'an's appearance, which was directly printed on the black iron token that I don't know what material.
The guard said again: "My lord, don't look at this color and think it's iron, this is a material that only the six major families have, and others won't have it, so I'm not afraid of counterfeiting at all, and this token is very strong, even the generals can't destroy it, I don't know how they printed things, but in any case, this identity token is very important, adults must put it away, and check every time you enter and exit the formation." ”
"Got it."
Fan Ping'an nodded, took the token, and tried it with the strength of the third order, it was indeed indestructible, and he was more and more surprised, compared to the six major families, the other gathering places were simply grass teams, and they were too bad.
Then, the guards sent someone to send Fan Ping'an to the Li family's hotel, this hotel is luxurious, the surface is modern style, but the inside is quite ancient, like an ancient inn, even the waiters are dressed in ancient costumes, and although there is no pre-apocalyptic technology in the room, there is still tap water, hot water or something, which may be artificially cooked.
After a simple cleaning, someone from the Li family came to the door, contrary to Fan Ping'an's expectations, it was actually a young man who looked like a hanger, and with two beautiful women, he was dressed like the ancients, and he was also wearing ancient costumes, but as a man, he actually wore earrings, but the breath on his body was more noble, and he should be a son.
"I thought it would be a professional like a professional manager, but it turned out to be a son-in-law, and the Li family is not very good, but this guy is also a military general, but judging from his fire of life, it is floating and unreal, it should be quick, the foundation is very poor, it is almost impossible to be promoted to a martial artist in this life, it should be a gentleman, but it can be directly promoted to a military general with pills, and the foundation of the Li family is very thick."
Fan Ping'an frowned secretly, it is a relatively advanced knowledge to win over people, and a boy brother doesn't look like a person who knows how to win over, sure enough, as soon as he came in, he looked at Fan Ping'an first, seemed to be more satisfied, and said with a lofty aura: "Are you just going to join our Li family's intermediate generals?" What is it called? ”
"I'm the King of Quick Knife."
Fan Ping'an replied lightly, this boy didn't hear it, and laughed: "You are so lucky, it should have been the manager of the hotel who introduced you to join our family, it just so happened that this young master was free today, you will follow me in the future and be my bodyguard, I will not treat you badly, you will be a quick knife Xiao Li in the future." ”
This son's words did not mean to let Fan Ping'an choose, and even changed his surname to Fan Ping'an, although this was not Fan Ping'an's real surname at all, but it still made him frown, but after thinking about it, if this guy really has a higher status, it is not impossible, anyway, he didn't plan to take refuge in anyone, everything is just to know the secrets behind the six families.
Of course, on the surface, Fan Ping'an looked hesitant and surprised, and couldn't figure out the situation, which made the boy very annoyed, the beautiful woman around him wanted to please him, regardless of the fact that there was a military general opposite, and sneered: "Why are you so ignorant, how many people dream of being an errand by Qishao's side, even if you are a military general, it is not so easy to get this position, don't hurry up and thank Qishao." ”
"Yes."
Another beauty also said: "This is Qi Shao, the third son of the head of the Li family, you can be his bodyguard, but your ancestral tomb is smoking." ”
The words of the two beauties made this Qishao very happy, and he was about to say something to Fan Ping'an, when at this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then a man who was also in ancient costume hurriedly came over, but this was the manager of the hotel, as soon as he saw Qishao here, his face was bitter, but he immediately said with a flattering smile: "Qishao, why are you here?" ”
Qishao was very dissatisfied: "I can't come?" ”
"Of course Qishao can come, but this hotel is run by Dashao, and for the guests who have just come to Stone Town, Dashao asks us to greet them well."
The hotel manager said respectfully, but he took Da Shao out to press people, Qi Shao's face was a little ugly, and said: "Didn't I say hello well, you told the eldest brother, what kind of quick knife Xiao Li I wanted, it turned out that the military general who protected me just died some time ago, and I am short of people." ”
"Qi Shao, this is not in accordance with the rules, this fast knife Mr. Wang has not yet decided whether to join our Li family, and even if he joins, Qi Shao, your status is noble, we must confirm all aspects of the conditions, in order to send the most loyal and reliable person to you, please Qi Shao wait for two more days, there will definitely be a military general sent to you."
The hotel manager has a headache, how can there be such a direct out to rob people, it is completely out of line.
In fact, the Li family protects the descendants very well, and every member of the lineage will definitely have loyal generals around them to protect them, and these seven young people originally had it, but he himself took it to compete with the people of the Huang family, and was killed in the ring, which was really wasteful.
There are only a few generals in Stone City, protecting all the important facilities in the family, such as the alchemy room, as well as searching the outside, hunting monsters, how can it be wasted, not to mention that this person has not decided whether to join the Li family, and now Qi Shao's performance, if people decide not to join, according to the rules set by the six major families, it is impossible to kill him - the military generals are not so cheap.
In fact, because of the test of the dead, the seventh young man and the young master of the Huang family were also taught a good lesson by the elders of the two families.
"There's no time, the guy surnamed Huang used the previous intermediate general to gamble with me tonight, I don't have a military general by my side, I want someone else to borrow and refuse to give it to me, just give him to me, he just happens to be an intermediate general, he can come here from other places, and his strength will not be bad, I will be his guarantor, let him be my bodyguard, what procedures you can help me get out, that's all."
Qi Shao said impatiently to the hotel manager, and then said to Fan Ping'an: "Quick knife Xiao Li, you will follow me in the future, help me win this ring at night, I will send you ten beauties, and you can also bring up whatever you want, I will give it to you, of course, you don't have to worry about safety, the last time we were killed in the competition, we were taught a lesson, and now the competition will not kill people." ”
After speaking, Qi Shao took the two beauties and left directly, obviously asking the hotel manager to help him get things done, Fan Ping'an and the hotel manager smiled bitterly at the same time, what kind of gentleman is this?
"There are still such gentlemen in the last days, it seems that the strength of these six major families is indeed strong."
Fan Ping'an shook his head, and the hotel manager also sighed, he said: "Mr. Wang, I'm really sorry, but now it seems that you can't join our Li family, otherwise even if there are rules, but if you get into trouble with Qishao, you will not be able to move an inch in the future, of course, our Li family will definitely not let you down, if you are willing to join our Li family, we can now give you a bottle of Chinese Five Elements Yuan Dan!" ”
"Five Elements Yuan Dan?"
"Exactly, when you break through to the generals, in addition to your own energy, you also need the vitality between heaven and earth, so the elixir that can have the effect of improving the true qi of the martial arts must contain the vitality of heaven and earth, and there is no universal vitality of heaven and earth, it is divided into various attributes such as gold, wood, water, fire, earth, yin and yang, and martial artists who practice different exercises must take the pills of the corresponding attributes to improve."
Although the hotel manager looked at Fan Ping'an's eyes as if he was looking at a hillbilly, he still explained in detail: "And our Li family sells Yuan Dan of various attributes, collectively known as the Five Elements Yuan Dan, which can improve the cultivation speed of military generals, and the basic attributes are available, however, we generally only sell the lower grade Five Elements Yuan Dan outside, the middle grade is generally taken by our own people, and the upper grade is the descendant of the family who is qualified to take it." ”
"Not to mention the middle grade, it is the inferior Five Elements Yuan Dan, one can be exchanged for three third-order monster meat food coupons, and the value of the middle grade is several times that of the lower grade, this is the benefit of joining the Li family, in fact, if it weren't for the Seven Young Men asking you to be his bodyguard, this Five Elements Yuan Dan would not be so easy to get."
"According to the normal situation, if you join the legion directly under our Li family, you can only get a bottle of low-grade Yuan Dan a month, if you become a person of our Li family, then a bottle of medium-grade Five Elements Yuan Dan will be a month, as for the mercenary group outside, there will be no Yuan Dan reward at all, only some healing or detoxification pills, Yuan Dan is very precious."
"I see."
Fan Ping'an suddenly realized that this Five Elements Yuan Pill was also useful to him, although he couldn't directly use it to improve his true qi, but it was no problem to improve the God of Gluttony, but he was now at the fourth order, and the pills taken by these generals should not have much effect on him, he pretended to be bitter and said, "It seems that I should have no choice." ”
"What you get is an opportunity that many people dream of, even if it is a military general, it is not so easy to become a member of our Li family, not to mention the bodyguard of Qishao."
Seeing that Fan Ping'an agreed, the hotel manager was very satisfied, and said arrogantly: "Since you were selected by the Seven Youths, then we are all simple, you are from other places, we will not check the information, anyway, we can't find it, and it is not of much use, and to join our Li family, in addition to changing the name and surname, we also have to serve our Li family's special loyalty Dan." ”
Fan Ping'an knew when he heard the name that it was not a good Dan: "Loyal Dan? ”
"Yes, the Loyalty Pill itself is a very powerful pill, which can increase your strength a lot, and even improve your qualifications, but this pill has a bit of sequelae, and you have to take the antidote once a year."
The hotel manager said, Fan Ping'an rolled his eyes, isn't it the leopard fetus easy tendon pill in it, and he sneered: "These families like to get these things, but it's normal, there is no restraint, how can you just let you enter the family?" But they don't know that it's completely useless to you. ”
Seeing Fan Ping'an's ugly face, the hotel manager said again: "Don't worry, this is just to ensure your loyalty, and when you make meritorious contributions to the family in the future, you don't need to take it again, and the family will let you marry the daughter of the side line, and then you will be the real member of the Li family." ”
"How many people are in your Li family, are there many collaterals?"
Fan Ping'an asked curiously when he heard this, because of the special history of Huaguo, that kind of big family should not exist, even if there is a family in Huaguo now, there are generally not many descendants in it.
"There are hundreds of people in our Li family's lineage, and I am also a side line of the Li family, we are a real big family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, and those families you knew before are completely different, there are our people everywhere, before the end of the world, we gathered together, and now we have become one of the masters of Stone City."
The hotel manager said with an honoured and proud face, obviously very proud of the Li family, but Fan Ping'an's pupils shrank when he heard this, he didn't care how many people in the Li family there were, what he cared about was that the people of the Li family actually gathered before the end of the world, did they know that the end of the world would come?
"It's getting weirder and stranger, but if Li Jia is from the Li family, then why didn't she go to Stone Town, because she was an illegitimate daughter?"
Fan Ping'an was full of doubts, and the hotel manager didn't say anything more, he said: "Regarding the details of the Li family, I will send someone to give you a detailed introduction in a while, in short, you have joined a brilliant and glorious family, now, I will go through the procedures for you to join the Li family, your identity token will be given to me, the name will be changed, and the rank will also be changed." ”
"You were originally an ordinary black iron token, and now you have to exchange it for a silver token of our Li family, representing your identity, and the one who generally joins the legion is a bronze token, with a silver token, you don't need to pay taxes for staying in the city, and you can also make ten people tax-free, this is the treatment that countless ordinary people dream of, just for this point, there are many people, even beautiful women who want to be your slaves, under your protection."
"In addition, with this silver token, you can go to most places in Stone City, and you can call the guards when you encounter something, and you can use this token to buy the pills in our store at a six-fold discount, and you can also exchange exercises internally through contributions, etc., in short, there are many benefits, you are a step to the sky."
