Chapter 356: What's in it for you?
Peony snorted, and finally asked softly: "Young master, the Hao family is powerful, their patriarch is the elder of the Dongqimen Gate Guard Camp Jindan Wupin, and he is the head snake of Tianyang Courtyard, although we are not afraid of them, but ...... But...... There's no need to provoke them, is it? If we provoke them, I'm afraid it's not good for us......."
Liang Feng nodded, and said secretly in his heart: "Yes, the Hao family is indeed powerful, and the patriarch of their Jindan Wupin is indeed very deterrent to the young master, but, but, in this case, they want to do whatever they want in this Tianyang Courtyard?
A thought flashed in his heart, and he asked slowly: "Peony, do you mean that young master, I shouldn't have put that Hao Youde to death, or should I not be removed from the Hao family's disciple list?" Today, Begonia and Peony, as Liang Feng's personal maids, also followed Liang Feng to witness the whole process.
"No, no, how dare the slave and maid say that the young master did something wrong, but the slave and maid don't understand what the benefit of doing so is, and the Hao family must hold a grudge and want to take revenge on us......"
"What's in it for you?...... There is not much benefit, mainly for the young master, an obsession in my heart - fairness...... Also, it's to repay the favor!" Liang Feng said secretly in his heart-
Many years ago, he passed by Tianyang Temple on his way to Dongqi City after escaping from the Lingshi Mine. At that time, he only had the cultivation of Peiyuan Qipin, and there were several times in distress between the barren mountains and mountains, and he relied on the help of the nearby mountain people to get out of danger, so that he could walk tens of thousands of miles on two legs and finally arrived in Dongqi City. Therefore, he felt that now that he was the head of Tianyang Academy, he had to do something for grassroots monks like those mountain people—for example, recruiting some monks from grassroots backgrounds but with outstanding talents into Tianyang Academy, leaving them a glimmer of hope for advancement.
It may be that seeing that Liang Feng was silent, Peony looked a little uneasy and said, "Young master, I said the wrong thing, you ...... Don't be surprised......"
Liang Feng shook his head and said, "You didn't say it wrong⊥ it doesn't matter if you say it wrong." After a pause, he said, "Peony, if you are an ordinary Peiyuan period monk from the grassroots who participated in the apprenticeship ceremony this time, do you want to be admitted to Tianyang Academy and become an official disciple of Tianyang Academy?"
"Of course I hope so...... Just like in the past, the slaves and maids were very envious of Linghua and them, hoping that they could be like them, and become your maid of the young master, but now ......" Peony showed a look of shame on her face.
Liang Feng didn't notice the change in Peony's expression, and continued: "This Tianyang Courtyard has a very large territory, a huge population, and there are many large and small families, like the Tianyang Hao family, the Yangzhong Zhang family, and the Yangxi Hong family, there are more than a dozen big families with Jindan stage monks, and there are more than a hundred families with monks in the late stage of Taoism. Tianyang Academy also recruits 400 disciples every five years, if among these 400 disciples, the Tianyang Hao family accounts for more than a dozen places, and the Yangzhong Zhang family accounts for seven or eight, plus many children of middle families, how many places do you say can be reserved for Monk Hayone?"
In the list of disciples sent by the incense master of the Dharma Training Hall for the first time this time, there is not a single grassroots monk, and they are basically the children of large and medium-sized families, and there are very few children of small families.
“...... If the young master hadn't adjusted the list of disciples, those low-born monks would not have had a chance to become disciples of Tianyang Academy, and in this way, they would not be able to turn over for generations...... "Peony replied, and said softly: "But, young master, those low-born disciples don't know that you offended many great families to recruit them?" Moreover, their strength is far inferior to that of those families......
Liang Feng turned his head a little surprised and glanced at Peony - this maid who claimed to know nothing seemed to have a more thorough understanding of the 'Dao' than the Linghua Apricot Blossom of the Fourth Grade of the Dao. He smiled faintly: "Young Master, I don't need their gratitude and support. Moreover, young master, I am also doing this for myself-you see the faces of those incense masters and deacons after dealing with the Hao family today. It turns out that they are passive many times, and even disobey the young master, and they will definitely be more obedient in the future. ”
In his heart, he secretly said: "People are a little cheap, and it is not easy to cherish things that are easy to get≡ only by suppressing the first strength of Tianyang Courtyard, the other earth snakes will be obedient, otherwise, no matter how much benefit they give, those landheads also take it for granted, and they deserve it." ”
"Yes, the young master said yes!" Peony responded sweetly, and put Liang Feng's head on her tall chest, kneading her shoulders with both hands more delicately and gently.
Liang Feng enjoyed a moment of soft embrace, and when he saw that it was getting late, his heart hung again, and he said secretly: "Tonight, will the Ji family's attack come? Why haven't you come yet?" For more than two months, he has been careful every night, but it has passed calmly and abnormally, and now he is worried about the Ji family's attack, and he is a little looking forward to this attack coming as soon as possible and giving him a good time.
"Could it be that I thought badly and scared myself? Could it be that the Ji family really didn't plan to destroy himself with a thunderbolt blow?......
"Mǎ lè Gobi, one's own security is still to one's own, and one must not expect the enemy to be merciful and not to attack. Perhaps, something happened to the Ji family that delayed the time to make a move......"
"Mǎ lè Gobi, it is still necessary to turn passive defense into active offense - as the saying goes, 'only a thousand days to be a thief, no thousand days to defend against thieves', passive defense will definitely have fatal loopholes......"
"How can you take the initiative to attack?...... In this territory of Dongqi Gate, only by uniting with the head of Wei can we have the strength to launch an active attack on Ji Yingshen!" After pondering for a long time, he still got the same answer as last time.
"Peony, if we have a strong enemy, we can't kill him on our own, and there is no help nearby. The only person whose cultivation is equal to that of the enemy is a person who is wise enough to protect himself, and he will not help us, so what should we do?" Liang Feng asked—of course he didn't expect the peony medicine to provide any good way, but now he didn't think of any good way, so he wanted to find some inspiration through discussion.
"That'...... Do we have to kill the enemy? can't we turn enemies into friends?" asked Peony.
"Yes!
"That'...... Otherwise, we can go back to the Shenmu Sect and bring rescue troops!"
"Yes, if we don't kill the enemy now, the enemy will kill us. Liang Feng responded.
"That'...... Can you use the spirit stone to ask that person who is wise to protect his life to take action together?"
Liang Feng shook his head and said, "That person is also very rich, please don't use the spirit stone." ”
"100 million spirit stones......, please don't move? The slave couldn't think of any other way. Peony replied abruptly.
"The spirit stone is not moved, can the other treasures please move Wei Yuankai?...... It's also very difficult, unless you come up with a treasure of the level of an ancient real jade slip. Liang Feng thought in his heart, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Please don't move, you can still coerce, just like the last time I coerced Master Wei to give the master the position of head of the courtyard." ...... What kind of coercion can be used?......"
After pondering for a long time, I didn't think of any good coercion method - the method that coerced Master Wei to give the master the position of head of the courtyard last time can no longer be used, this is because the matter of jointly killing Ji Yingshen is too important, if you still use this method to coerce Master Wei, and then Master Wei pretends to agree to fight against the water, it will kill yourself.
"Is there really no way?" Liang Feng stood up and walked back and forth in the study thinking - "Coercion is not a good way, you should let the head of Wei take the initiative to deal with Ji Yingshen, and then give him some support or wait for the head of Wei and Ji Yingshen to fight and lose, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman!"
"That's right, this method is the best!, how can you get Master Wei to take the initiative to deal with Ji Yingshen?" he fell into deep thought again.
Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Peony's gaze following his figure, and Liang Feng's heart suddenly flashed: "What if...... If an important person of the Wei family is allowed to die at the hands of the Ji family, will the head of Wei take the initiative to deal with Ji Yingshen?...... Back then, he used Wei Yangxuan's young head to threaten Wei Zhangmen, but he couldn't threaten it at all, so even if a young head like Wei Yangxuan died in the hands of Ji Yingshen, I am afraid that I can't let Wei Zhangmen and Ji Yingshen fight to the death!"
“...... However, if Wei Rouyun, the beloved granddaughter of the Wei family, was killed by the Ji family, then the Wei boss was afraid that he would have to take action, right?"
Of course, Wei Yangxuan's status in the Wei family is higher than that of his sister Wei Rouyun, but Wei Yangxuan's killing and Wei Rouyun's killing by his daughter's daughter have a very different impact on the reputation of the Wei family -- the same grandchild is killed and assuming that Wei Boss does not fight back, then the former can be said to be the magnanimity of Wei Boss, and the latter will become a major shame for Wei Boss no matter what! This kind of shame can make Wei Boss's prestige completely useless, and he cannot be the head of Wei.
"If Wei Rouyun is designed to be killed by the descendants of the Ji family, you can let the head of Wei take action against Ji Yingshen!" Thinking of this, a dense cold sweat suddenly broke out on Liang Feng's back, and he said secretly: "Wei Rouyun is an innocent person! For the sake of her own plan to deal with the enemy, do you want her to become a victim of being killed by a woman?...... In this way, how much difference is there between himself and the Ji family?!...... You can't do that, can you?"
"However, if you don't do this, what other way is there for Master Wei to take action against Ji Yingshen? When will Ji Yingshen attack him? Can his own defense make him lose his life?......
"No matter what, I must not carry out such a vicious conspiracy and let the innocent Wei Rouyun become a victim of being killed by a woman! I must not do that!" made a decision in his heart, Liang Feng's eyes became firm and clear, "Boom!" There was a roar in his head, and it seemed that there was a place where the originally dim area was suddenly abnormally illuminated by the light of the Great Dao Hong-he knew that his 'Dao' heart had taken another step.
