Chapter 63: A Strategy for Forbearance

When the father and son came to the Lingwu courtyard, Zhang Rufeng was already in the Lingwu house. When Lin Yun saw Lingwu, he knelt on the ground and saluted, so panicked that Lingwu and Zhang Rufeng hurriedly helped him up, but the father and son resolutely refused, and insisted on paying homage with a big salute.

Lin Yun helped Lingwu to the main seat and sat down, and then he sat down on the seats on both sides. Lingwu was very uneasy and said, "Why is Mr. Lin doing this today? Such a big gift, Lingwu can't afford it! Zhang Rufeng also said: "The boss has been in our family for decades, and Lingwu is a junior, how can this be?" ”

"The master's words are not good. The master of the master's mansion is the leader, how can we rely on the old and sell the old. If you don't respect the master, you don't know the rules. My Lin family has lived in the Master's Mansion since childhood, so naturally they have to abide by the rules. Today, on the Shenwu Palace, the Hou Ye has worshiped you as a master, that is, under one person, above everyone. Who dares to be disrespectful, that is asking for hardship, as long as our master mansion works together, who can help us? ”

"Today's Shenwu Palace, fortunately, Chief Manager Lin is fighting hard, otherwise it is really difficult to say. It's not easy to work together! As soon as my father left, the situation changed. Not everyone is as loyal as your father and son," Zhang Rufeng took over.

"I remember that Master Zhang's rise in the Hou Kingdom didn't depend on many people. The master still relied on his extremely high cultivation and amazing wisdom back then, and everyone had to obey. I heard Lin Zhi say that the master is talented now, and he is a great spirit scholar in his teens, which cannot be compared with the old master back then. Besides, master, all your current two mansions and one leader are rich lands, and you can get a strong army with a little effort. With the power of the great spirit, the division of the tiger and wolf, with one block of ten, who dares not to obey? The current worries are not to be worried, I am willing to plan for the master. ”

"Please advise the boss, Lingwu will listen to you."

"Don't dare to be. This is the duty of the old servant, the master does not think I am old, and the old servant should do his best. First of all, let's talk about the current situation, Hou Ye is very important to the master, who doesn't want to use the Great Spirit Warrior? As long as the master develops in the second mansion and one collar, the Hou Ye will definitely not interfere. Whoever wants to put his hand in here, Hou Ye will not agree in the first place. Some people didn't see this through, thinking that if Hou Ye cut the three southern mansions, they could eat some meat in the master's mansion, which was pure stupidity. ”

"But this is just a self-preservation strategy, right? Where can I find the weather when my father is there? ”

"Therefore, the recent development of the master should not focus on the size of the territory and the number of people, but focus on training the elite, there are many samurai, great samurai and even generals, the more the better, the stronger the better. Once the situation changes, the critical moment of surprise will definitely be able to achieve great success. I also invite the second young master to sit in the master's mansion, contact many parties, and the generals and warriors of the original subordinates are willing to serve for the master's mansion, we all welcome them. ”

Lingwu secretly rejoiced in his heart, he had been secretly training soldiers, and it seemed that he coincided with the idea of Old Manager Lin.

"Lin Zhi don't stay here, go back to Jiachuan now, and prepare for the master to go to Gangneung Mansion. The Master may order General Wei to set off for Gangneung now. As soon as the funeral was over, the Master arrived. He had to take full control of the territory of the lord near Gangneung City before the master arrived. ”

"Second Young Master, in the future, all the affairs of the Master's Mansion in Shuanglong City will be only you. I'm old, and I want to go out with the master, and there are some things that the master can't do, so it's better to do it when I'm old. At my age, what else do I need to worry about? ”

"With Mr. Lin together, Lingwu can ask for advice when he encounters trouble. Please also for the sake of my father, remind Lingwu a lot. ”
